I've not seen this suggested and i did search so sorry if it has.

Unless you have fully backed up belts then having a splitter that splits 50/50 can be annoying. If i have 1 main iron belt and then split from it when i need to then it'll be 50/50. Then if i add another one to the main iron belt it would be 50/25/25, so the main belt would then get 25% of the iron. Another splitter would put it down to 12.5%, and then 7.25%. There are messy ways around it(anyone know a basic way that takes up tiny space?), but being able to set how much gets split would be better.

It would help a lot.

Oh god 'ere we go again.

Not only it has been suggested before, but it is quite easy to make with current splitters:
Hint: 1 splitter makes it 50/50, 1 more splitter after that makes it 50/25/25, Then 50/25/12.5/12.5 and so on.

I agree that is possible with current mechanics. But an adjustable splitter would be smaller, and realistically it would make more sense. Maybe you can call it "smart splitter".

Yeah, we had that discussion too many times yet. I suggest reading https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... f=6&t=3394
