Ratio config in Spliters

[Nadie_j]

Hi, I was wondering if is too hard add this to the game, a spliter with ratio config, not the only 1:1:1 the game have by default, but a ratio that can be configurable by player, doing all prime numbers divisions easiers...

I'm pretty sure there is a mod for that. I am also pretty sure it's intended design by developers they have not included a tool like this. It's much more engaging to solve problems when your tools have limited capabilities rather than if they could do exactly what you need them to do at any given moment. It'd be like trying to solve a puzzle and instead of trying to find matching pieces you could just get the exact matching piece every single time.

Or in other words: you're asking for a ready made solution to a puzzle. Kinda defeats the point.

You can build it and most dividing sums fit in the current size of the blueprinter without clipping.

There is nothing wrong with the OP's request, but you'd only need to change the ratio if you were under-producing the items flowing through the splitter and you also wanted to control how much the various consumers get.

My preference would be to balance production of items going into the splitter against the consumption after the splitter instead, so that you never need to worry about manually adjusting the splitter ratio.

Yeah, but try to do a 1 to 5 splitter without loosing any materials, or 1 to 7 or 1 to any prime number... is a nightmare, but yeah, if numbers in chain would never been to do prime splits my request is unnecesary... btw, the splits ratio I imagine is like a special splitter that get unlocked in an advanced tier like tier 8 or something, and buildable with expensive materials, cuz yeah its a OP request.

And that's why you don't do perfect ratios in this game and instead use a manifold (overflow) design. There thankfully isn't anything in Satisfactory that requires you to split things in perfect ratios, you can stick a splitter manifold on literally every production chain and it will work at perfect efficiency after the buffers fill up to the last machines.

It's very buildable without loosing materials or belt speed. It's still dvides faster than a manifold but a manifold will avoid the problem entirely and create a small problem when the buffers need to fill

You don't lose any materials flowing through a splitter?

Just produce enough to keep the consumer on the "1" side full, and increase production until the other side gets 5x what the 1x side gets. Or if you have significant overproduction, send the extras to the AWESOME sink.
