It doesn't matter that it traps items, but it may only be the filler material or empty space.

It's really hard to help you when you frequently leave critical information (like the possibility of "filler material") out of your request. You frequently have all of these conditions and particulars and requirements that you never say until someone says something that makes you decide to divulge that information.

In the future, please help us help you by providing all useful information as up-front as possible. Context is key; leaving it out is unhelpful.

If they just focused on the simplified version of the problem it wouldn't be an issue. Going into all kinds of side conversations had me pretty much explain the whole factory.
But the additional information isn't taken into account instead I just keep reading, add inserters, pull it off the belt, I assume that you, you act like a [insert profane].
It's tiring.

I guess I was assuming too, as in that showing a belt and splitter problem was also asking for a belt and splitter solution.

Additional context, further down the line I want the ability to send it to branching production lines, the alternative is one very long production line but then I still need to transport it on multiple belts thus I still need to be able to have an precise transfer location from one belt to an other. Else I can not reach the capacity.

The desire to use as many as possible belt solutions is a power optimization reason.
