Satisfactory Tips 2: Using Prime Factors to Split Conveyors

It's me, your favorite math teacher here...
I mean, Pioneer here again with another tip on how to balance your factory.

[@blackiceplays1091]

I love the way you make this really really simple to understand. the concept behind the design and how you achieve it. love it and subbed

[@Gaming_with_Doc]

Thanks!

[@zippymills8187]

Incredible.

[@adamchristophergrigg]

Fantastic, simple, short of how to make balancers!

[@Gaming_with_Doc]

Thanks!

If thats how math were taught to me i maybe even had an A grade for it.

[@SlonskiWungiel]

you can also do it by spliting it by 2 then 3 and 2 again then if you do 1st spliter at 2 you will have each generator across eachother and will better look without losing efficency

[@Gaming_with_Doc]

You're absolutely right- the order of splitting doesn't matter. And that layout sounds great. Thanks for the comment!

[@Skill5able]

just build a manifold

[@Gaming_with_Doc]

Manifolds are great too! Having multiple solutions to the same problem helps in those nice situations where you have that perfect timing between machines. Thanks for the comment!

[@GMJRicardo]

I love your videos. Very informative and fun!🤩

[@Gaming_with_Doc]

I really appreciate that! I've got a series of tips coming out one a week as long as I've got them.

[@dogsofwarclan]

This was very helpfull doc :)

[@Gaming_with_Doc]

Glad it was helpful!

i never use this kind of system. Takes up to much space. What rule i use is makes sure input is full outputt is empty and make sure that you gain what is needed. that way you dont need to split and your machine grab exactly what is needed

[@Gaming_with_Doc]

Yep, that works too! I'm a big fan of manifolds and use them most of the time. They work by overloading the input instead of dividing things perfectly. If you add a smart splitter to dump excess, the output will never be clogged. Thanks for the comment!

[@Evilpuppie]

@@Gaming_with_Doc Always dump dump excess stuff but only as final product. If you want to make copper wire for example. You get copper ore fill it all then only empty the miner. Then go to the smelter fill it all up let it smelt its iron run over the belt and then empty the smelter of the smelted copper. then go to the copper wire and fill it all up but remove the copper wire. This way machine dont power on or power down because they are full and the machines grab exactly what they need.

Wow that's really simple thanks a ton man! Easiest sub of my life.

[@Gaming_with_Doc]

I appreciate that! We've got more to come. Next we're going to cover Prime Splitter Arrays- what happens when you need to split the conveyor into a weird number of machines like 5 or 7.
