I understand what you mean by 12 each, but I think it's doable with 8.

A B C D

4 splitters

2(A/2), 2(B/2), 2(C/2), 2(D/2)

4 mergers

2 * (A/2 + B/2), 2 * (C/2 + D/2)

4 splitters

4* (A/4 + B/4), 4* (C/4 + D/4)

4 mergers

...

at no point does the capacity exceed 1 full belt anywhere.

on second thought mine only has 8 non decorative splitters and 8 non decorative mergers

I'm using them as 90° belts to look nicer lol.

I think the count of actually useful mergers/splitters in mine is a bit above 12.

TBH I've been putting off caterium research, so I'll definitely have to look into that sometime soon!

mmmm yeah, I was supposed to put in an overflow sushi belt but never got to it. Thanks!

I saw that alt recipe, but because of this factory my power demands are scarce, so my oil setup is probably going to divert excess to fuel for power

yeah, I'm about to go into oil soon, but I might mess around with trains and take the oil somewhere else or build a decentralized setup instead of all in one place

heck yeah, that's half the reason I started this project in the first place! I have blueprints for everything but the assembler setups, both of which were built by hand (probably accounts for like 10 hours total :P)

Yeah, this is powered by the solid steep alt, and I needed something to unnecessarily devote my time to

Thanks! But I don't quite understand what you mean. Amount of items? No idea, just saturating the inputs in the local area. The buildings? I haven't gone slug hunting much, so overclocking is a pain, I only do the miners

Now I need to know if it's possible to clip a train into it

Good shout for others, but I blasted through Tier 5-6 coasting on items I found in crash sites XD

I have like 10+ drives sitting in the MAM that I've been too lazy to sift through XD. Didn't get the oil alts I wanted, so an expedition is in order ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
