The value $v=1$ is the normal belt speed, and $\rho=1$ is the maximum capacity of a belt. The state of a belt tile is represented by a density $0 \le \rho \le 1$ and a velocity $0 \le v \le 1$. Note that some balancers used in practice contain loops and could not be represented by our model without an infinite length belt. In the model, we imagine each belt flowing from left to right along coordinate direction $x$ and each junction uniting two belts at the left edge of a given tile. I refer to splitters as junctions, since that's how they really function.Įach belt is composed of unit length segments, referred to in the game as tiles. I will quote some of the notebook here for those who don't wish to follow the link. Examples are given in this Jupyter notebook, along with a Python implementation of an iterative algorithm for computing the flow for any set of belts and splitters. known issue: only pieces placed after 0.3.There exist UTU balancers for 3, 4, and 5 belts, and likely for any number of belts.all splitter pieces are now blueprintable.
FACTORIO SPLITTER REGISTRATION
removed on-demand event registration for multiplayer compatibility.fixed group-icon/technology-icon image dimensions.messages relating to a splitter during placement of the endcap relay to the player creating it.the force of the buffer piece is pushed to the entities that were migrated from "simple-entity" to.the script data is rebuilt by searching for all endcaps and attempting to run the detection script.added migration script to fix known issue in 0.3.3.fix for removing buffer chest on an active splitter.belts are migrated to the vanilla express belt (the equivalent). You should get a message saying a splitter has been made correctly or a diagnostic message that should help you figure things out. Add the end cap to the end opposite the buffer chest.
FACTORIO SPLITTER FULL
The gfycat above shows two of the valid totem placements (a full round robin on the right, and a priority output on the left). priority in/output is given to the belts closet to the priority totem for that side. they should be placed adjacent to the buffer or the end-cap (the last piece placed). one for input lanes, and one for output lanes.
FACTORIO SPLITTER MOD
This mod does not perform better versus n^2 type splitters with a width smaller than 8 belts.

Mod's with a power switch exist that might help with UPS but I'm waiting for the in-game implementation. I made this mod to help me increase UPS on my larger bases and to hopefully take advantage of the power switch that will be added in version 0.13. This splitter expects only one type of item on the belt and ignores belt side when picking up and placing items on a belt. The mod adds a new method of item distribution from a splitter- called 'priority'- that favors maximizing output on one belt, before trying to output to the next belt in line. This is a small mod that adds a multi-tile structure that replicates the behavior of n-belt splitters. Update: the mod author has officially abandoned the mod, if you wish to take over the mod, pm the author via the forums.
