i’m kind of at a loss, splitter calculators crash when i try to use them /:
I’m a fan of flow by priority, and use smart splitters to overflow to the next priority. Let the belts balance themselves once production becomes saturated.
how does that work exactly?
Say you have a production that takes 100 ingots /min. If you choose your largest lines you could split each off, 4 productions with the remainder 76.7 left out. You could merge those together. Then the 450s you do the same, and merge all those 50s in. Then you have one (or two lost count) belts of just those remainders left that you could then maximize production with.
I’m a little confused on the exact request here. Do you have those pictured lane rates now, and need to combine/ split them into the ratios above (2000, 300, e.t.c)?
yes, sorry i wasnt clear
If you’d like exact rates, you can use belts of various speeds & smart splitters, eg.:
Need 300, so take a higher belt (eg one of the 455) and smart split off into a mk3 belt (270), and overflow the rest. You should now have a full mk3 270 belt and 185 remaining (overflowed). From that you can smart split into a mk1 (60), and split it in two (30, 30). Take one of those and merge it with the 270 from before and you’ve now got 300, with 125+30 remaining for more siphoning off. Basically, 300=270+60/2.
Similarly, you could do 2000=1200+780+60/3. The rest is left as an exercise to the reader.
