Satisfactory 4 to 4 load balancer
With 4 input belts of 480/min each (a full Mk4), the build with the best result is the Butterfly: 8 splitters and 8 mergers, with 480/min on each of the 4 outputs.
Step by step
- Bring in the 4 input belts (I1, I2, I3, I4), 480/min each.
- Column 1: 4 splitters into 2.
- Column 2: 4 mergers.
- Column 3: 4 splitters into 2.
- Column 4: 4 mergers.
- Connect the 4 outputs to the destination lines: each carries 480/min.

| Round 1: each belt after the merger | 480 | ✓ |
| Round 2: each part | 240 | ✓ |
| Each output | 480 | ✓ |

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.
