Item Loading System

[artemiseritu]

I've provided a link (below) that showcases my item loading system. The design is pretty basic so far, but it's a lot more compact than belt loaders, and uses as few combinators as I could think of.

It's still easily breakable, and I'm going to continue working on trying to get it to load each chest evenly, even if items are being added and/or taken out of the system. As long as you don't mess with the input chests, the system works fine.

To load chest evenly I'm using different solution.
Inserter compares the amount in its chest with an average amount in all chests.
The average value is additionally increased by 1.

In that way i need only 2 combinator and entire loading process is quite fast because with compressed belts, all inserters picking items, not one by one.
