[0.15.34] Splitter Broken

Post by Blackthunder »

Hi,
this is my First Bug Report, im Sorry if its not perfect, trying my Best to Explain.
I noticed some of my Furnaces not working correctly, and found a very Strange Splitter.

I tried to Fix it, changed length, changed positions, changed from Red Splitter to Blue Splitter. Still same behavior.

Hi Blackthunder,

This is currently a normal situation. Every item is distributed, one to the left side, one right. If the belt is flowing at full speed and the belt does not fill up it will continue to be like this.
Notice that still 50% of all items get to the left and 50% to the right side. So it doesn't affect throughput at all.

If you want to balance the items you could use this after the first splitter:

Hey,
sorry for the "False" Report then.
But still i dont understand the Behavior, im not a Veteran, but i never saw that in 133hours :)
I even miss such a "feature", to divide each side of a Belt(without a workaround or mod) :D

Its just weird, that it happened Random and only in this Spot. Moved the Splitter just on another Place of the Belt, and it just works as it Should.

And Thanks Judos, yeah i know some ways to Balance etc, i just couldnt think this was "Working as Intendet" because i never saw this :)

Splitting the lanes can be done without mod by using the underground belts which accepts only items from one lane if you input on the side.
See here:

The splitters really work like they should. Just in this case it might give a pattern which is not entirely wanted. However since they work so perfectly deterministic you can do more cool things with them:

Just one yellow belt after the splitter and it will be same by both sides of the belt. There red belt is exactly twice better than yellow belt.
