Satisfactory 5 to 6 load balancer
With 5 input belts of 480/min each (a full Mk4), the build with the best result is the Butterfly: 11 splitters and 10 mergers, with 400/min on each of the 6 outputs.
Step by step
- Bring in the 5 input belts (I1, I2, I3, I4, I5), 480/min each.
- Column 1: 5 splitters into 2.
- Column 2: 4 mergers.
- Column 3: 6 splitters into 3.
- Column 4: 6 mergers.
- Connect the 6 outputs to the destination lines: each carries 400/min.
Rate per segment
| Segment | Carries | Fits Mk4? |

| Round 1: each belt after the merger | 480 | ✓ |
| Round 2: each part | 160 | ✓ |
| Each output | 400 | ✓ |

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.
