Satisfactory 4 to 3 load balancer

With 4 input belts of 480/min each (a full Mk4), the build with the best result is the Matrix: 4 splitters and 6 mergers, with 480/min on each of the 3 outputs.

Step by step

1. Bring in the 4 input belts (I1, I2, I3, I4), 480/min each.
2. Column 1: 4 splitters into 3.
3. Column 2: 3 mergers.
4. Column 3: 3 mergers.
5. Connect the 3 outputs to the destination lines: each carries 480/min.

Rate per segment

Other ways to build it

• Butterfly with sink: 16 pieces, 480/min per output
• Looped butterfly: 17 pieces, 274.3/min per output
• Funnel: 3 pieces, 160/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.
