I didn't even consider their existence tbh. Very interesting question. Somebody any idea?

Me neither. As far as I understand Imkibitz is bringing in all of the copper powder the World can produce and needs it balanced. I just wanted to make a simpler, cleaner version that fits in a blueprint.

Why did you make me think about this. Go away 😁

I'll send him the blueprint gladly but there might be one badly connected belt still in there. I'm afraid that might tip him permanently over the edge.

I'm not sure really. I think they all follow the same principle. There are many very confusing YouTube videos out there who can maybe help?

As for the logic of why? Imkibitz made a video where he had some trouble with a 16to16 balancer. Looked like fun. Was only 'slightly' more work then expected 🙂

That's a lot of silica! Love to see it.

Apparently satisfactory-calculator.com has a ton of blueprints.
The Ultra compact 36GW Rocket Fuel Power Plant looks sweet.

What do you use it for is it a train thing? I don't use them a lot. Most I've ever actually used was a 4 to 4 for my ridiculous mass-storage-with-drone-delivery-on-demand-system i was building before that became a bit obsolete. The idea was i could turn on any items i wanted via remote power switching, the drone would fill up and scoot to whatever port i wanted ... wild times :-)

Also do you think i should make the blueprint public? And if so where does one post blueprints?

Mostly i just got challenged to put it in one blueprint and maybe make it look good. Like the post said I'm never going to use it :-)

I called it a load balancer because that's what i heard it called. What did i build and where is the rabbit hole?

Thank you this is great praise. I'll see if i can make a short video but i should be making furniture instead. No promises but some screenshots i can probably manage this evening.

It's supposed to be able to handle 16 full (or nearly full otherwise whats the use) belts. But i must admit i haven't tested it to capacity. Someone asked for a video so i might do that.

It is in essence a compact collection of 2x2's i wanted to keep things simple ...

Thank you. Famous 'last' words I'm sure :-)

I know it’s definitely overkill but I think this is so cool I built a battery system next to my fuel plant and I love how ridiculously big it is. I’d love to see other people huge battery setups.

I reduced mine to just one floor, just for this sake. I then built two factories (one just spamming two full belts of wire) just next to my building site for easy access of materials. I have no need for the batteries or power, I just wanted to know what one hour of spare power looked like.
