The one without circuit networks usually requires different belt speeds, so it won't be used early game. Optimized production chains. You are indeed correct. xBackground Music:"The. A belt balancer splits n:m belts equally (n input belt, m output belts). The other that gives 2 half belts can only output 2/3 of the half belt to the blocking splitter, so it increases it's output to the non-blocked splitter from 1/2 belt to 2/3 belt. Belt balancers take in x belts of inputs and output x number of belts, all with an equal amount of product on each belt. Belt balancers utilize the mechanic that splitters output items in a 1:1 ratio onto both their output belts. Need heelp figuring out either a: how to make belt balancers myself, or b: a 24 to 24 balancer that fits within a 26-wide footprint (sadly, the most common 24-24 balancer is too wide). 3 coal per minute. I needed to take an 8-lane balancer, compress the 8 outputs to 4, output 1 and feedback 3 in with the original 5 for the inputs of the 8 lane balancer.
