problem with gas pipe
So I have 2 lines of pipe to move oxygen from 3 gas pumps. After a while, I noticed the gas doesn't spread equally into the pipes. The left pipe line is getting more oxygen then the other line, causing the middle pump to not working at max capacity, which slow down my oxygen production. Is there a way to balance the pipes?

In the section above your oxygen generation, put two gas bridges joining the two pipes, with one facing the opposite way of the other. This will equalize the packets.

You could also remove some pipe and add bridges below your middle pump, with each bridge facing the other way onto your pipe line. Personally I would go with this if I found myself using 3 pumps.

Very nice screen shot of pipe flows. Very nice indeed.

Nice. I sometimes use a packet compressor for CO2 output from generators to feed Soda Fountains and then maybe a Slickster ranch, but the Brute Force merger uses much lower tech and resources.

Oh, here's another possible reference:

I've never seen this one before, good info for sure as a quick reference but it's way more limited and lacks the descriptive text from the one I've used a lot, the one cswiger posted.

It's called a cheat sheet for something. You are honestly tiring.
