so the main bus is just a large pipeline of items being transported down to the facotry. Now for priority splitting and balance splitting, each has their own reasoning, I made a whole post about my priority splitter set up, you can find it here though from my post you'll find that I find priority splitters are far superior.įor a quick list of why you would use one over the other.įirst off though I want to note the reason for a main bus and what the lanes represent. if you use a splitter, you'll only take as much as you need and any overflow will simply flow back onto the bus. this is because if you do this, you will lose a full lane and if the factory array you are feeding backs up because you're not using that material for a bit of time, then that full lane is also unused and thus becomes a waste. but I highly suggest not to pull a lane straight off the bus without a splitter. weither you pull it from the left or right of your bus, it doesnt matter. So no matter what, you should always use splitters to pull items off the main bus. OTOH if you're consuming more than 4 full lanes worth you need more throughput anyway, so NOT pushing to the right is just a band aid for a deeper problem, right (the problem being green hecking circuits, you need SO DAMN MANY OMG)? I guess I'm realizing as I write this if your bus isn't saturated and backing up you need more throughput. Which I'm guessing is probably the same end result as just splitting off of the end lane. Question, do you use a splitter to drain out of a set of 4 lanes (which needs occasional 4-4 rebalancers)? Or do you break a full lane off then rebalance either evenly or by pushing to the right with 3 splitters? My math says breaking then rebalancing evenly reduces total 4-lane available throughput by 75%, then 56%, 42%, 31%, 24%, etc, which leaves production for the later sub-factories. I usually split from the right side of a set of lanes regardless of the side of the bus I'm building on (I can now see the great wisdom of building only on one side). I'm now 140 hours into factorio and have been playing with a main bus splitting protocol. Look both ways before you cross the tracks. The only significance is life, which leads to the further wisdom.
