Calculation for space science
When I try to duplicate the numbers from https://wiki.factorio.com/Rocket_silo#Maximum_throughput, I get 741.358 space science per minute instead of the claimed 981.194.
I wonder if I'm doing something wrong or if the calculator is not taking into account some of the timings. The timing for the satellite inserter alone doesn't explain the difference.
[edit] Oh right, an URL would help (maybe): https://kirkmcdonald.github.io/calc.html#data=1-1-19&min=3&belt=express-transport-belt&dm=s3&db=s3&dbc=8&items=space-science-pack:f:1&modules=rocket-part:p3:p3:p3:p3;s3:20
Calculator doesn't get the "100 rocket parts in a single silo is ~20.60 seconds" either. :(
It doesn't solve all of your problem (I think there are other factors) but don't forget that beacons hold 2 modules each. 20 beacons would be 40 speed3 modules.
Yes, major user error. Now I get 970.020, much closer!
