The Sushi Belt.įor those unfamiliar with the concept, the basic principle is to create a circular belt with an even balance of items travelling around it. There is, however, one application i have found which does use multiple items per belt path. My first question was, obviously, WWFD? (What Would Factorio Do?) Factorio has similar challenges, and like Satisfactory most of the time you're going to run a single item per belt (or in the case of factorio, one item per belt half). So not only do we need to find a use case for the smart splitter, but we also need to solve this key pitfall The problems that are all too often raised are things like: "why would i put multiple items on one belt? If one item overproduces, it will jam up the whole belt!" With the current assets available in-game, there isn't a good way around this. Other than giant sorting arrays that you can use to dump and sort your entire inventory, no one seems to have come up with a decent use case for these devices. There seems to be a recurring discussion/bemoaning of the problems with the Smart Splitter.

When not using overflow, items may get stuck in the buffer when for example the next 7 items on the incoming belt are not the filtered one.

Build a Splitter and a Merger on the main belt with the splitter downstream, connect the two with a side belt, then place a Smart Splitter on the side belt with its free output set to Overflow.
