Belt splitting right/left

[98coolmen]

My Idea was to have an Belt splitter where I can choose in which side the Items will come out (left/right).
The "old" way is too spacewasting for me. Or you could even make an Version were the Belt sorter/splitter can sort two items like one on the right Side and one on the other or sth.
This would be cool.

I like that the entities in factorio are very basic, but still allow you do do everything with it. All the things you mention can be solved with splitters and underground belt in like a 3x3 area. I like the puzzle part in factorio and that is one implementation of that. Having a problem and finding a smart solution for it is exactly what I want the game to be like.

I heard Twinsen speaking about a change of the current splitter (in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=797vZGozwmw - btw. very cool)
It sounded a bit like this suggestion: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=23616 Smart Splitter (The Real One)
