Is the 4 to 8 balancer throughput unlimited?
Yes. Throughput unlimited means any group of input belts can feed any group of output belts at their full rate. If some inputs run dry or some outputs back up, the belts that are still in use keep moving at full speed. Choose this layout where belts will often be partly used, such as at the start of a main bus.
Belt tier note
Built with express (blue) belts, splitters and undergrounds. The collection lists this layout as working with red, blue and turbo undergrounds. For yellow belts it keeps a separate version, which appears with its own string under the other layouts below.
Compatible underground tiers listed by the source: red, blue, green (turbo). A yellow-belt alternate exists in the downgrades folder.
