Any Conveyor "Filter" type building?

[TheSuit]

In games like Mindfactory \ FActorio

There is a special filter that only allows a specific "output" from one side.
So if you have a mixed conveyor belt it will export all of a specific one to a line.

Is that possible in satisfactry?

Yes, there are smart and programmable splitters.

You unlock them in the MAM

You unlock them in the MAM, in the Caterium tree.

Can be acquired as early as Tier 2. Need to find some caterium to begin researching in the MAM.

That's perfect. Just pack a few handminers and set out to find a Caterium node. Then you feed the MAM with what it wants.

P.S.
You can build unlimited Equipment Workshops and MAMs. Hence you can build them right at the Caterium node and reach your goal on site.

While the smart splitter allows you to filter out particular items, running mixed belts in Satisfactory is generally not a good idea because of the bottlenecks that inevitably occur. There are a few places when mixed belts can be useful, particularly when combined with the Awesome Sink, but overall you are better limiting each belt to a single resource.

No the vending machine is the Awesome Shop.

But the MAM is the research building.

Better you dont look up stuff in the wiki in your first 500 hours - if you like to play spoiler-free.
Just go to a Caterium node and build the MAM there.
(Open build menu with Q and then it is in the top category where you find space elevator and such stuff)
