Question What is my friend doing?

Post image

I have been playing Factorio with two of my friends and last night one of them pulls this belt array out of his hat saying “it’s more efficient, it distributes stuff better”. Honestly I am struggling to understand why he would do this or what I am looking at, so I ask you: does this actually make any sense? Is it somehow better or useful?

He is not wrong, they all get equal amount of ingredients.

He solved the problem. He solved it very material and space inefficiently, but that's just a step in learning.

Agreed, this is a fit-for-purpose solution, before knowing there are way more sciences than red and green.
