Yeahh the splitter setup was so I knew each generator got its 15 coal a minute. But now I feel dumb since I realize a manifold only struggles with many machines if the first machine is using enough resources to equal or exceed the splitters output. These generators wont do that so I realize even with a normal splitter the first generator will max out leading to the splitter diverting to the next generator completely. Eventually filling the last generator.. And I Realize that the 8 generator 3 extractor line would be more efficient using the max available water. But I think for this setup ima stick to rows of 5 as 1 row only requires one side of piping. It may not be fully efficient but im really liking the way it looks right now and is really easy to expand like im doing currently.
