Factorio 1 to 2 Balancer Blueprint

The simplest balancer: one splitter turns one belt into two equal halves. Three versions exist, one each for yellow, red and blue splitters, all 2 x 3 tiles.

String from a Factorio 1.1 book. Decoded and checked by this site; not test-imported into 2.0.

Is the 1 to 2 balancer throughput unlimited?

Yes. The design is one splitter, and a splitter moves its full rate between whichever of its two inputs and two outputs are in use, so there is no internal bottleneck.

Belt tier note

Separate yellow, red and blue versions exist, one per splitter tier. The tier of the splitter decides how much it can carry, so take the version that matches your belts; the blue one is shown first and the other two are listed below.

Separate yellow, red and blue versions are provided; the splitter tier sets the throughput.

Other 1 to 2 balancer layouts

The yellow and red versions are the same 2 x 3 shape built with basic and fast parts. Use the one whose splitter matches your belts; a lower-tier splitter caps the flow at its own speed.

1 to 2 balancer blueprint string

This string comes from a Factorio 1.1 blueprint book and was not test-imported into 2.0. Copy it and press Import string on the shortcut bar in the game. The whole build is one splitter and three belts, so it takes seconds to place by hand if the import fails.
