ONI lover Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 @JohnFrancis in your split power grid video you were looking for a way to merge pipes and distribute evenly, here is a little build I use, I think if you flip it upside down you could fit it in. Bonus it requires no power. Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/107914-gas-pipes-balancing-in-a-4x6-space/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
OxCD Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I don't have the context but is already perfectible by adding a bridge before each T cross, where the output is on the cross. It will allow full flow to be re-oriented if one pipe's full.

JohnFrancis Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 I'm going to have to give all these a test. I got sent a 3*9 design listed below. But I'm pretty sure we can get a dual pipe load balance down to a 3*6. https://imgur.com/a/9B2tXsP Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/107914-gas-pipes-balancing-in-a-4x6-space/#findComment-1214264 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full double line load balancing in the smallest possible space.

You've forgot the bridge just before the T cross, with the output on the cross those we've talked before. By the way I really like how you're stepping the building process, with those pics.

It's the exact same set up as the OPs except just compacted. While looking at my build above I realized. I don't need 6 bridges. 4 bridges will be fine. So here it is. The ultimate version.

If one pipe is congested, the other one will only get 1/2 packets, no ?

In that case the single bridge version posted above is far superior.

Fair point this bridge before would be then, only, in case of emergency but nevermind, that's just my way to preview the worst case scenario. It doesn't depreciate your build at all.

JohnFrancis Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 @Saturnus Your load balancer worked perfectly, I did a little tweaking and managed to make it a little more compact. Put the gif in the spoiler below.
