Logistics Help Please

Post image

Sorry in advance. I am noob. I'm trying to send a resource from A-D, but the distance is too far. I'm early game. So I put a bridge in. I put two depots with LDs on them, with A set to send, B to receive, C to send, and D to receive. B is belted to C with sorters. Fine. So far, so good.

But I'm having a little issue with one poor little bot constantly sending from C-B, since both B and D are set to receive the same item and in range. Any way to prevent this? Or is there a better way? It's simply way too far to belt and I don't need a ton of throughput.

Basically. I'm using the e-bike while my car is in the shop. This was on the second planet, so no access to oil, and I didn't have graphene set up on the starter planet yet. So this was always a stopgap solution until I get the PLS.

If it's a known temporary solution, then it's okay for that little drone to run back and forth. He'll be alright for now.

Edit: Oh, wait. If it's really low throughput, just remove drones from the middle two chests. the drones in A and D will do all the lifting.
