#Wired Fluid Depot + Selector -- 4x4 belt output

A fluid depot for a MAM I made using the new pipe filters inspired by a design by JoneY.
It takes in 2 notches of red, green and blue fluid each, and outputs 4x4 full belts of fluid.

The extra 2x1 platforms have prefab wiring where each layer of the shape is transmit over , but you should replace them with your own layer finders.

Each wire notch corresponds to one module of the fluid selector. (see annotated image for more info)

The space pipes at the bottom of the BP are the outputs of each module, with the leftmost module on the left. (who would've guessed)

Probably insanely unoptimised and my wiring is total s***, but it works.

put any questions here ill try my best

#

the mixing only uses 2 mixers instead of the usual 4 for colour mixing

#

the inspiration also only had 2 modules

#

and used 3 belts of paint

#

so since i doubled modules, i doubled paint

#

could work with just 3, idk

narrow holly
#

No matter what youre mixing

#

Like i have a setup that uses three full belts, one of each color and outputs 3 full belts of white

wary lynx
#

yes, but its designed for use in something like a MaM, where each lane of the each space pipe output corresponds to one quadrant of the painted shape

#

so it only does 4 outputs of 4 lanes for normal 4-layer difficulty

narrow holly
#

Even if its only one launcher going to each corner if you have 4 launchers on each belt coming in you should be getting 4 launchers out on each belt

#

I understand its a mam setup but from what i see youre missing out on a lot of paint volume

wary lynx
#

try it with 3 belts of fluid input

#

if it works: great!

#

ill update it if it only needs 3 fluid inputs

narrow holly
#

I cant im not at my setup but ill be back tmw to test it

wary lynx
#

alr, i might test in a sec

#

i did some calcs and it has 128 mixers total

#

so 3 fluid inputs of 12 belts is 48, 128 / 48 = 2.666...

#

idk what to do with that info

#

but it means something /shrug

narrow holly
#

But just so im understanding you have 6 belts of 12 launchers coming in and 4 belts of 4 launchers coming out

#

One launcher of one color plus one launcher of another supplies 4 mixers

wary lynx
#

testing it with 3 to see if it works

narrow holly
#

6 space belts at 12 launchers each means you have 18 layers of paint which means you can supply 18*16 mixers

#

Wait that might be wrong

#

Divide by 2

#

With those inputs you should be able to supply 144 mixers

#

it runs dry without the backup tanks filled

#

but i havent tested afterwards

#

it will probably work with 3

#

i cant be bothered to test more the tanks arent decreasing lol
