thank you. I did a quick google search to see this madzuri design.
From what I understand, you'd have to put buffer boxes in input and output and compare the fill rate of the boxes and activate/deactivate the redirections accordingly (you're talking about analyzing the flows on a small section of the belt and I'm having a hard time seeing how this is actually done / how it works).
Is this system likely to take up a lot of space?
If not, I've thought of something else: given that the line that consumes only 10% of the resources will fill up and stack faster than the two that consume 90% of the resources, won't it balance itself out naturally? Or is this a bad idea?
Uh, before I deal with that, the other way with splitters... I'm not an expert, but it tends to look like this:
you can kinda come up with arbitrary ratios by feeding parts of the belts back into earlier segments with loopbacks to create factional belts
so the thing is a belt and a box are the same thing, conceptually, in the sense that they are a place to store items. and you can count the items in either
Yeah, in basically all "normal" cases, you can absolutely rely on backpressure (aka, one line filling up) to balance evenly between sides. If that is enough for you, you absolutely should do it that way for simplicity. A splitter becomes "pefectly matched ratios" as long as you have backpressure
Exceptions do exist, which is what I assumed your problem was related to
maybe i'm not in a exception... (short line behine the splitter sooo....)
Exceptions that come to mind are like on Gleba, where all the ingredients are rotting, so sending too many towards a slow factory will cause them all to become spoilage before they manage to backpressure
I'll show you a balancer like you described anyways, cause designing the circuit will be fun for me anyways, gimme a sec
(but basically, belts backing up is good, and using them to balance a factory is normal and good, so you dont really need this most of the time)
yep please 🙂 thank you in advance
Hmm, the simple version didnt work for a very annoying to fix reason
