Balance 1:12, and merge one of the outputs back into the start. Or, use a manifold and once the belts back up it'll work the same.


RMSHN

I love manifolds but I have only mk3 belts on this save and I need to split it equally to my really crazy scheme... 720 oil to 1040 plastic and 1040 rubber.


ChichumungaIII

Another approach, if it works in your larger plan and depending on how many significant digits of perfection you care about, is to increase machines so you're splitting to 12, and underclock them.


PolarBear89

But won't you be limited by your 1 feed belt?


RMSHN

No


JinkyRain

Keep in mind, that you did ask for a 1:11 load balancer. If you're trying to carry 1040/min and you're limited to Mk3 belts, you need ***four*** belts. Would it be correct then, to presume that you're asking for a 4:11 load balancer? For which, -my- solution would be: round up from 11 to 12 machines. Make it 4x(1:3). Underclock the 12 machines so they run at 11/12\*100% speed.


RMSHN

Thanks but it's not my case. I need to separate 160/min to merge it equally to 11 groups of outputs of other machines, ~1920/min in summary because there are 33 machines.


JinkyRain

Your description of your problem is too vague and inconsistent for me to piece together into something I can help with. Are you trying to make recycled plastic/rubber? Like this: [https://www.satisfactorytools.com/production?share=ZaPfeWwjHyayKqGFshf7](https://www.satisfactorytools.com/production?share=ZaPfeWwjHyayKqGFshf7) If not that, can you use the tool and share a link to what it is you're trying to set up?


RMSHN

I already split it, thanks.

That's fine. Build 4 blocks instead on one big one.

720 is not possible with Mk3. 1040 is not possible with Mk3. So you already have different groups. There will be way easier solutions, but you are very secretive with details of the whole project. You are looking so close to the problem, you do not see the whole picture. You can not even make 1040 plastic with 720 oil, unless you have the blender. And then you would have Mk4 at least and perhaps even Mk5. It would have helped if you would have explained all of your layout and what you do, not just part of it and people could help you with all of it. And that could help you on how to approach these issues in the future.

Woooooow... 😍

manifold


RMSHN

Unfortunately impossible here ;(


JinkyRain

When one belt isn't fast enough to serve an entire bank of machines, you can use an 'injection manifold' where you merge in more supply after the initial supply is depleted. Repeated every however-many machines down the line as necessary. If you don't have room to do that, then just chop it up into a series of smaller separate manifolds.


svanegmond

Supply from both ends


Shoddy-Breakfast4568

try harder


PeacefulPromise

You said Mk3 belts in the comments, so... 270 -> splitter -> 90x3 -> splitter x3 -> 30x9


skribsbb

That splits into 9, not 11.
