Our video showing how to split one belt into 2, 3, or 4 belts with a balanced output.
The 1 to 2 and 1 to 4 belt splitters are obvious, and should have been discovered naturally by any player. I’ve included them, however, in the interest of inclusiveness. This series will cover larger splitters in the future and I didn’t want to leave any out.
The 1 to 3 splitter is the most compact 1 to 3 splitter giving balanced loads, exporting 1/3 of the incoming load to each of the three outgoing belts. If you know of a more compact design, please let me know in the comments as I’d love to see it. This 1 to 3 splitter is 4 squares wide, at its widest, although if you’re willing to use some underground belts and stretch it out a bit you can achieve the same result without ever being wider than 3. The overall size will be larger, but you may not always have the width for this design.
