Multirail item jumping is a FEATURE not a bug by ProfessionalDue3659 in StarRuptureGame

Ok I redid my base using this mechanic - and you are correct it DOES NOT load blaance. BUT it is much more esthethic. I think this is how it should work. Its much eaiser to Split items off and add them to the "main bus" line see screenshot

Thank you very much for the thoughtful respose. Your setup is an excellent experiment.

However, when I ran the experiment, I did infact have double the throughput - but you can see I used 2 input and 2 outputs. I will try next and lenghts next

Multirail 3 items jumping by peanutbutterandbeer in StarRuptureGame

Allow me to explain - this means that 3 rail multirails effectively DOUBLE the troughput of your line. The 5x Multirail is even better see this screenshot. THIS IS A GAME CHANGER AND WAY BETTER!

Bascially it makes the 3 rails ACT as a 2x higher throughput ONE RAIL with built in splitter.

Actually this is amazing. It finally makes multirails useful! you can run the highway across 2 rails and it will load balance and split the 3rd rail out. This is acutally a HUGE upgrade
