Satisfactory 3 to 4 load balancer
With 3 input belts of 480/min each (a full Mk4), the build with the best result is the Matrix: 9 splitters and 4 mergers, with 360/min on each of the 4 outputs.
Step by step
- Bring in the 3 input belts (I1, I2, I3), 480/min each.
- Column 1: 3 splitters into 2.
- Column 2: 6 splitters into 2.
- Column 3: 4 mergers.
- Connect the 4 outputs to the destination lines: each carries 360/min.
Rate per segment
| Segment | Carries | Fits Mk4? |
|---|---|---|
| Input | 480 | ✓ |
| After splitting into 2 | 240 | ✓ |
| Each of the 4 parts | 120 | ✓ |
| Each output | 360 | ✓ |
Other ways to build it
- Butterfly: 13 pieces, 360/min per output
- Funnel: 4 pieces, 120/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.
