Design tools often have controls on how you can scale a box by locking expansion in different directions and anchoring elements to specific side. Its results in the same thing as flexbox and alignment but is was more intuitive. The real iss

Yeah that is why most players just copy blueprints for balancers that have been vetted by people who do enjoy it. There are also mods that trivialize the task by creating oversized item chests that you can hook many inputs and outputs to. B

Balancers are probably one of the most common but least understood parts of Factorio. Most players copy a blueprint book from the web, and don’t think about it. They are very tricky to build by hand without a deep understanding of belt mech

You can grind out poker games for a living, especially when there is a steady stream of rubes that think they’re hot stuff because they clear out friendly home games. In the long term those kind of people always lose to the pros.
