Right starting to go a bit nuts over this and could do with some help.

Right i have in a large caldarie POS 2 complex reactor arrays and would like to know if i have 2 silos with the materials i need to make the final product am i able to link the 2 silos to both of the complex reactors or do i need to get 4 silos?

Just incase that was confusing this is how it would look:


________(A)____>
Silo ¦ Complex reactor ------¦
(reaction A)--¦ ____(B)____> ¦
¦ ¦ ¦
¦ ¦ ¦
¦____¦____(A)___> ¦---------> Silo
Silo ¦ Complex reactor -------¦ (complex reacton)
(reaction B)---------¦--------(B)---->



Sorry if it looks messy but hopefully it gets the idea across

I really don't understand your setup, but this is pretty much how it works:

If you are running 2 different reactions where the first is not used in the second, you will need to use separate silos for everything.

If you are running a setup where the output of the first reactor will be used as input in the second one, you can link the first reactors output as one of the inputs for the second one.

For everything else you will need a separate silo for in/output, unless you are running a base reaction where you can have a moon harvester as input aswell.

ah, I think I get what the OP is doing.

he has Materials A and B, both of which are used in a Complex Reaction to make C
(say ... Ceramic Powder and Hexite to make Sylramic Fibers).

One silo can hold ONE item, and it has ONE INPUT and ONE OUTPUT link.

So, if you're running TWO complex reactions, you will need six (6) silos.

2x Silo for Material A
2x Silo for Material B
2x Silo for the finished product.

You may even consider a pair of coupling arrays between the reactors and the output silos.

The production chain for complex reactions looks like this

1 Silo or Basic Reactor for each Simple Product A and B --> Complex Reactor --> (optional: Coupling Array) --> Silo for Complex Product

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia
