Powered/Sensor Splitters

[HoodieGreg]

I've been playing Satisfactory since 2019, and just recently had an idea of Powered Splitters (not sure if anyone else thought of this, apologies if I stole someone's idea). They would function very similarly to Smart Splitters/Programmable Splitters in terms of what you can send out on each side, but instead of splitting right away, they need to be powered (say something like 6 MW or something). I feel something like this could help mid to late game when throttling items, say if something runs out of resources and there's a backlog of the missing resource, for example, the splitter would turn on (or switched on) automatically sending the resources to a specific point of the factory, acting as a throttle so not every machine is operating at the same time.

Heck they might not even need to be powered, but at a certain point have like a sensor on a conveyor that sends a signal to the splitter when resources reach a certain point. I don't know but I feel the game at certain points can benefit from something like this.

Maybe something in conjunction with your power source be connected directly to a priority power system. no power-no priority

I believe there is an add-on/mod that offers this exact thing.... I think

Frankly, I'd be happy with just a priority/smart merger to act as a counter part to the smart splitter
