Do NOT add quality modules to the mines/electric furnaces feeding your main bus. It is poison for your factory, because you can’t just use any quality with any quality.
I’ve had half a dozen spots in my factory come to a halt because ~10 minutes of higher iron quality plates went onto my normal belt, and then clogged a bunch of assembly machines.
If you ever want to clear out a base and you don’t mind robots going crazy… Ctrl-X to cut a blueprint, then place it right back down where it was… the bots will pick up EVERYTHING and then put it down clean
Yeah, I briefly considered that, but I have about 30k belts. Sure, the minority of that is the iron plates belts, but the problem bubbled up through green circuits.
So I think it was easier/quicker to just take a quick look around to see where the poison went.
