Additionally, the inserter arrows always point East (not a big problem) and also block the ALT overlay, so it's hard to tell what a specific splitter is filtering (kind of big problem).
I suspect that setting a non-zero radius while keeping an essentially infinite turn speed would fix the new issues.
Not sure about fixing the lost ID problem though.

The splitters losing the ID's is just because the original authors code isn't fleshed out. They will be finicky and if you edit them in any way other than changing the filters you will most likely have to re-place them all. They are a place and leave alone type of item. (and i don't have the time or will to expand on it)

The inserter arrows... in my game it does not show any inserter arrows. Could you tell me how to reproduce this?

I am always getting an error:
Error while running the event handler __Smartspliters__\control.lua:284: Map doesn't contain 1 player this function can't be used

Can't reproduce unable to break/replace. Please explain how to reproduce.

error: This could be a problem with something else in that pack, because I cannot reproduce this error. This happens when something is called from player in MP, which smartsplitters don't do.

If you place it you get a Permanent Chunk error until you break it.

ThaPear wrote:I've decided to improve this mod.

Updated for version 0.11.6
- Improved the code in many locations, removing several bugs with set and splitter management.
- The splitters should no longer stop functioning.

I've fixed 7 bugs with the splitter and splitter set management. This should greatly improve the stability of the mod.
I've also made it compatible with 11.6.
It seemed to work when I quickly started a multiplayer game and built some splitters. No extensive multiplayer testing has been done though.

My apologies for the long silence, I tend to lose interest in games rather violently.

See the first post for the new download!

Is it compatible for 11.5 too ?

The pickup and dropoff positions are such to ensure the inserter will never actually pick something up (as that might result in things disappearing for the player).
Changing that to 500000 or something will probably remove the error.

Instead of making the numbers extremly high, why not making them extremly small?

Was referring to Alpha, for the pretty constant "requesting" others to make mods to fit his interests throughout the forum, instead of adapting to what's available, or doing the work themselves.
I'd just rather not read yet another request for a custom-made mod from him.
