I'm just trying to make Balancer 4-4 for this: But my best design is that: Last "Best" design i made seems to work fine, but its Huge AF :/...
i simply tested that balancer by using CreativeMode and Void Chest
and removing input and by looking at output xD

Here is "TEST" Pic xD but...

is there option to make it smaller?...
i mean... less width it can stay 3 tiles tall but reduce width???...

And because math is rly hard for me... can sm1 tell me if balancer work fine and have perfect balance
or im just blind and my balancer is broken? xD

First at all - the balancer looks absolutely fine to me.

To make it more compact, you could move the splitter at the right directly behind the corner, and use an underground belt to connect it to middle splitter. This would give you the room to move the splitter on your left side together with all that squiquly stuff there to that new free area. I hope you understand what I mean.

Also - don't you need some space to get the iron ore out ? In your current design there is no way to get two of those belts out. This might work if you change it like I described above, though.

If there is room below, You can balance below the tracks. much easier.

Hi,

You can optionally try this:

Copy blueprint

Or this one

Both are too big ... don't fit in that little gap between unload station and rails...

Testing show its fine... but Creative Mode failed me few times already... thats why i asked xDD
And don't worry about Iron Ore Ore is fine, its going up xD
Ore is going top to smelters, and from top to bottom plates ^_^
Also on pic u can see i think "Final" version ..

This will make it worse... I'm always trying to make everything as much packed together as possible...
here is few examples:

This just produce RC from Raw ( plates + plastic at input ), and is packed as much as possible xD + beacons Rafinery that produce batteries, Gas, Plastic, Acid, Lube and is also cracking Heavy to light and light to gas and also have output for them?
Here: using undergrounds in Early smelter is bad idea for undergrounds price?... who cares... it makes Smelter packed AF xD Here is bigger version:

No empty space allowed !...

Thats why im trying to fit balancer between unloader and rails ...
