This behavior was changed back in
0.16.16.
- Changed splitters so they work more intuitively. The left and right lane splitting is now completely independent. The decision whether item goes to left or right output is now independent of the item type.
This is not what's happening though, is it? The splitter is handling the two lanes as one combined input, viz.
- output starts as left lane
- item comes in on left lane, so goes to left lane and output is now right lane
- item comes in on right lane, so goes to right lane and output is now left lane
etc.
If the two were independent, the behaviour would be
- output starts as (L -> L, R -> R)
- item comes in on left lane, goes to left lane and output is now (L -> R, R -> R)
- item comes in on right lane, goes to right lane, output now (L -> R, R -> L)
- item comes in on left lane, goes to right lane, output now (L -> L, R -> L)
etc.
The latter pattern is what I was expecting.
@Khagan: yes I also observed that in some tests. The way I had set up the test was to put everything except the panel down first, then place the panel to start both inserters simultaneously. The inserters don't saturate (one lane of) the belt, but instead i just let it run until it was backed up for a clearer picture.
The problem this causes with the 3:2 balancer is that for three input lanes full of A, B and C, instead of each output lane being ABCABCABC, you get ABBABBABB and ACCACCACC - technically the combined sum of the two outputs is balanced, but each lane is not.
