Oh, thank you, I have no idea how forums work. This is probably the only time I've ever really used one.

I'm a bit curious: What was the background/reason to make this?

Because I was bored

Fixed the graphics a bit, but the belts are still a bit jumpy:

I have no clue what I'd ever need this for, but I love how absurd it is. It's nice seeing such an unconventional mod. Keep it up.

Thanks
I knew someone would appreciate absurdity!

Well if you make them cheaper it kinda makes sense to build them.

Maybe somebody knows interesting mod on the splitter that splitting the flows from 2 parts to the greater number of flows?
Dfault splitter have 2 sections for 2 flows, is it possible to make 3-flow splitter?

Thought I had already put out a rebalancing patch... thanks for telling me I didn't

A three way splitter? That's a good idea... although the fact that this hasn't been made already gives me the impression that it's impossible/really difficult. Because as simple as it sounds, if it were truly that easy of a mod, I feel like it would've been done already.

I don't know, but I'd like to hear a modder's take on this.

EDIT: Those smart splitters work side by side? Oh, then maybe it is easy and I just don't know what I'm talking about. It's probably that.

0.0.6 Update
-Added slow train (try to get away from the biters now!)
-Added slow mining drill (sometimes you just want to make the patch last a while)
-Added slow furnaces (both steel and electric)
-Added slow modules, slow down existing machines!
-Added a slow tool! Now take even longer to get stuff done!
-Redid graphics (I found the recolor tool in paint.net)

Very interesting stuff, the slow module might be useful for something, and I know for sure I could use a slow mining drill for patches of coal that I don't need a ton of at once.

Er... the dull axe is actually faster than the iron axe (Mining power 3 vs. Mining power 2.5). You might want to fix that.

I recommend a mining power of < 1 — yes, that does mean that it's slower than doing it by hand.

how does mining power work? i thought mining speed controlled how fast something was mined?

Oh, derp on my part, will get to fixing that

Did I affect mining power? I must've forgotten... will fix!

Man, I forgot about this mod! I've just updated it to 0.14, even though it's been a while.

Moved from 0.11 mods on request.
