Keep a modular plan, like a set of pre‑calculated belt sections that you can snap together; that way when the line stretches you just add a block, not scramble a whole network. Also, lock your logistics in place early—once a belt runs at capacity, a small delay turns into a cascading block. Treat each expansion as a puzzle: design the next tier first, then fit the previous in, so the whole system stays in sync. And if it ever feels chaotic, step back, redraw the map on paper, and give your brain a reset before you throw another machine into the mix.

Exactly—think of each section as a leaf, yeah? If it’s hanging, check the flow before you yank it out. A simple loop or buffer belt can save you from a whole line stalling. And trust me, a quick pause beats a rushed tweak that ends up pulling the whole system back. Stay patient, tweak just enough, then keep moving.

Nice, so you’re visualizing the network. In practice I just keep a “check‑point” graph on paper—one node per belt segment. When a leaf stalls I flip that node, see if the upstream nodes are saturated, then decide if I need a new buffer or just a small speed bump. That way the line moves smooth and the whole forest stays in balance.

Glad you’re on board—just remember to double‑check the buffer sizes, or you’ll turn that quiet pond into a quick‑sand trap. Keep it simple, and let the line breathe.
