Satisfactory 9 to 9 load balancer
With 9 input belts of 480/min each (a full Mk4), the build with the best result is the Butterfly: 18 splitters and 18 mergers, with 480/min on each of the 9 outputs.
Step by step
- Bring in the 9 input belts (I1, I2, I3, I4, I5, I6, I7, I8, I9), 480/min each.
- Column 1: 9 splitters into 3.
- Column 2: 9 mergers.
- Column 3: 9 splitters into 3.
- Column 4: 9 mergers.
- Connect the 9 outputs to the destination lines: each carries 480/min.

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.
