Introduction
Hi,
here you have very densely packed crafting setup for recipies requiring 4 ingredients.
Everything occupies 7x? tiles (where ? depends on how long the line we want to make).

The only problem I see with this setup is that output is placed only on one side of the conveyor belt. I would normally say that it's good but if you want the output to spread on both sides, you have to increase the size of the whole crafting setup. Either widen or heighten.

"why pictures from an old version of the game?"
- Might be because this guide is 6 years old

"you can feed 4 ingredients onto two belts"
- Nothing is stopping you but that's not the solution, that's a workaround.

why pictures from an old version of the game? this is not necessary, you can feed 4 ingredients onto two belts and just have a long handed insrter grab stuff off the further belt. Make sure to have the closer belt for ingredients needing most of since stack inserters can be used on the close belt.

Put your output in the middle lane. you dont need 2 outputs

but then again this looks nicer and takes up less space

i mean you could always be a normie and merge 4 ingredints onto two convayors
