Liqued/Gas Splitter

[ThunderBlue]

The idea of this build is to have a splitter that has 1 input and 2 outputs the splitter then splits the gas or liqued in to half its mass to two directions for example:
100g Oxygen goes in to the splitter 50g goes left 50g goes right, this allows you to pretty much get an even level of gas or liqued to equepments or machines how ever you like it or areas of the base either way i personaly think this could be a pretty cool idea, it can work for both Gas, Liqued or Items with the use of transport belts, liqued pips and gas pips.

I think normal pipes already alternate packets if there's a divergence. BUT now that I think about it, a splitter would make sure each destination gets the same even if different packets are different sizes/elements.

Are you working on a particular build that would need this?

You can do half-half spitting by just adding a branching pipe. If you want to split by a specific number, you can use valve. Unlike normal branching, if you use a valve / bridge, the flow will prioritize going to the direction of valve / bridge, and divert the rest in another direction. And in this way, there is no "alternating packets", which is already the ideal of splitting. however, you can't split by percentage.

thats kinda the idea of a splitter to split 50-50 regardless of the amount of fluid or gas that goes in to it so that you dont have to make a rough estimet with the valves but i get your point its rather easy to make a "splitter" using valves but the idea was to make it a 50-50 split no matter the input.

no not exactly, but i have had many times where i want my hydrogen gass to be split between my hydrogen generators but hated that it was switching between first left then right then left then right... sometimes id like it to split if 50-50 so that they both ran at the same time at all times instead of the whole "oh now the hydrogen only goes left but there is no more comming atm and cus of that no more power goes to... bla bla bla.." you get the idea  and well i just thought of this idea and thought maybe others like it too, but yeah its just an idea nothing more really :3

It seems you want to buffer Hydrogen. But if you want make sure both of your H2 generators have something to eat, you can do this

gas first goes into valve

 

valve set to low, such as 10 g/s, the it outputs to

|=> left to generator 1 getting 10g packets

|=> right to generator 2 getting 10 g packets

now both generators can have constant feeding.

you get the idea, you can increase the alternating packets size.

but I guess they won’t make a percentage splitter any time soon

i surpose that works but i was just giving out an example for what the splitter could be used for, not that this was the only reason for it to be made it was an example but thank you for your suggestion on how i could do this with valves, its nice to see friendly people, hope you still like my idea tho, this was more or less an idea for more then just hydrogen :3

I think I wanted the same thing before. But after playing the game for a while, I've grown to adapt to using what is offered, and it works fine. But if the device you suggested is added to game i'll definitely use it

glad you like the idea hope others might like it too ^^
