Factorio balancer

In other languages:. Ideally, a balancer should be input and output balanced. Belt balancers utilize the mechanic that splitters output items in a ratio onto both their output belts. That means that a splitter can be used to put an equal amount of items on two belts. Since the process can be repeated infinitely, balancers with 2 n output belts are easy to create. Balancers also use the mechanic that splitters take an equal amount of items from both input belts. That means that a splitter connected to two input belts will evenly distribute those items onto the the two output belts. To balance belts it has to be made sure that the output belts contain an equal number of items from each input belt. Balancers that are throughput limited may not be able to provide maximum output if one or more outputs are blocked. To be throughput un limited , a balancer must fulfil the following conditions:. Balancers often do not fulfill the second condition because of internal bottlenecks. The bottleneck in this balancer is that the two middle belts only get input from one splitter. So, if only one side of that splitter gets input, as can be seen in the gif, it can only output one belt even though the side of the splitter is fed by a splitters which gets two full belts of input.

Copy of Raynquist's Fall belt balancer collection, organized into nested blueprint books by number of input belts. Balancers are included for all configurations from to , plus some x, x, , , , and Also includes lane balancers for 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8 lanes. Includes inline variants of lane balancers for 2 and 4 belts, lane balancers duplicated in separate lane balancer book as well as integrated into individual input belt books. Book is configured for blue belt but most smaller balancers can be downgraded to yellow or red belt without issue. Replacement larger yellow belt versions are included in a dedicated book for those where available. A few balancers had underground lengths shortened and extra regular belts added to make them compatible with lower tier belts compared to Raynquist's designs.

Copy of Raynquist's Spring belt balancer collection, organized into nested blueprint books by number of input belts. Balancers are included for all configurations from to , plus some x, x, , , , and Also includes lane balancers for 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 lanes.

Re: Belt Balancers - how they work and how to make them Post by jcranmer » Wed May 08, am The trite answer: math. Install Steam. In essence this means that an n-n balancer is not a functional n- n-1 balancer. There are plenty of copy-and-paste designs on the wiki, but nobody seems to be explaining why they work, or how to make them yourself. Other times, this is not an option. Manipulating these equations allows you to solve for the outputs in terms of the inputs, even if the graph is cyclic. View mobile website. Here's how: Build a standard 4-to-1 pyramid. You can build a set of linear equations, where each splitter is an equation and the variables are the total throughput on the graph. However most balancers' bottlenecks can't be solved as easily. Oh my piccolo. Hedning: I'll try to do just that, I'm going to cut a few corners balancing using Piccolo's link as a reference.

I don't actually have a formal proof for the non-power-of-2 case, but the sketch of correctness is that you're not gumming things up as you would by leaving splitters with no outputs; in the steady state, the total output must equal the total input since you're not accumulating things somewhere ; and the correctness of the underlying butterfly network means that all of the outputs must have identical output. Re: Belt Balancers - how they work and how to make them Post by jcranmer » Sun Jul 08, am You say that it's impossible to build a perfect balancer that will still balance its inputs evenly, even if some of them are missing. Universal balancers can be throughput limited. That number of fully comrpessed belts would indicate a megabase -- why don't you have access to blue belts yet? I am curious about the mathematical theory of balancing and looked into things a bit, it seems that this balancer now behaves correctly, and other bugs such as straightforward 4x4 balancers not working correctly seem fixed as well.
