Probably need a good explanation. Had 2 fuel generators at the same elevation with a 26.667 m³/min input. I set up the line to the first generator consuming 20 m³/min of fuel first, then set up a second line to an underclocked generator that would only take in 6.667 m³/min of fuel. I saw a few possibilities, main one being splitting evenly like a belt splitter filling up the slow one faster. It filled up the regular one faster, didn't provide enough to fill up the slower one for consistent power and wasnt filling up the regular one fast enough to overflow. I deleted the second one and waited until fuel started to overflow then put up a second one afterwards. That is what fixed it. Tried valves also without any luck.

I can't tell if I've just gotten lucky or I just get it, but I've never had any issues with pipes. Number in equals number out, make sure you've got headlift, left machines run to fill in pipes before you start the machines they feed into. It really doesn't seem that hard.

My only complaint on pipes is I wish straight mode would work as well as belts 😂
