Compact Load Balancer, up to 3 In / 3 Out

This vanilla-friendly setup sends all inputs equally to all outputs, making it perfectly balanced.

It scales to any amount of plugged inputs and outputs (up to its size), meaning that the balancer works fine when fewer than all ports are used.

Input side is yellow, output side green, and all the rest are whatever colors you have in color "FICSIT Factory Swatch" as standard.

Please rate and review, so I can improve my designs.

    Works great!

    Thanks! If you want to see how it works, you can build one and remove the walls to check the belts :) It is a pretty simple setup.

    Oh wow! How...?! This is magic! Thank you, sir! The most useful blueprint in the history of blueprints, maybe ever! Haha

    Yes! All the inputs deliver equally to all outputs. You can test it by attaching containers to input and output ports. Then send in stuff from containers with different belt speeds and check the results from output containers. This little one does not require looping back, but on larger balancers you may need to use the loop back ports, if you are not using all the ports in a group. This little one does not require looping back.

    Excuse me, one quick question to check if I understand it correctly... so does this magic box 'smooth out' incoming stuff into equal outputs? So for exampe I build 3 input conveyor belts like this:

    • 120
    • 175
    • 35 (which adds up to 330) And it sends out 110-110-110 as output?
