Satisfactory 1 to 10 load balancer

With one input belt of 480/min (a full Mk4), the build with the best result is the Split looped matrix: 15 splitters and 12 mergers, with 48/min on each of the 10 outputs.

A splitter only divides by 2 and 3, so part of the flow goes back to the input (a loop) to reach this count.

Step by step

1. Bring in the input belt (I1), 480/min.
2. Column 1: 1 splitter into 2.
3. Column 2: 2 mergers.
4. Column 3: 2 splitters into 2.
5. Column 4: 4 splitters into 2.
6. Column 5: 8 splitters into 3; 4 loop returns leave from here.
7. Column 6: 10 mergers.
8. Connect the 10 outputs to the destination lines: each carries 48/min.

Rate per segment

Other ways to build it

• Looped matrix: 8 pieces, 40/min per output
• Matrix with sink: 7 pieces, 40/min per output

What it is

A load balancer is a set of splitters and mergers that takes N belts and delivers M belts at exactly the same rate, no matter how much each input carries. There is no “balancer” piece in the game: you build it from regular pieces.
