Ficsite Ingot/Trigon math not mathing

[StuckInNE]

Simple setup-> I have 3 Converters creating Ficsite Ingots. Each machine is creating 10pm. Easy so far--- 3 machines X 10pm = 30

So i setup 3 Constructors to make Trigons. Each constructor needs 10pm- Easy again. 3 Constructors X 10pm = 30.

Problem is that these 3 constructors are only being supplied Ficsite Ingots 67% of the time. Causing the rest of the setup behind these machines to stall constantly. Why is my Math not Mathing?

Converters are running 100% with stocked incoming belts. They are only feeding the 3 mentioned constructors.

manifold or balanced split?

shouldn't matter with 3 machines should it? Also easy to balance..

still the 1st constructor is going to get half the trigons until it fulls up.
It will balance out in time, which is what i think is happening here... OP just hasn't let the manifold even out.

really need a screenshot of your layout OP, it's the only way we can toubleshoot this.

I figured it out. SMH. i was convinced that the math was wrong. I went to take screen shots to post here and realized i forgot to place a Merger at the output of the 2nd Converter. Giving me only 20pm instead of 30.

I thought i stumbled on a Dev blunder. But it was just me.

I was going to say...at Tier 9 you should have a full understanding of the game and it had to be some brainfart thing.

By the way, you really should try to use the aluminium ingot + SAM recipe as it is dramatically more SAM efficient than the iron ingot one.

Alum ingot & Sam was my first goto but its halfway across the map. But the area i built in had ample Iron nodes. Im not trying to break any records for output. Jsut wanted to make the parts while i was off doing other stuff.
