About this build
A compact 4 to 4 belt balancer: 10 by 4 tiles with 6 splitters. The 4 to 4 is the balancer most bases need: four lanes of ore or plates in, four evenly loaded belts out. Built from yellow belts, so it is the cheapest version and fits anywhere: run an upgrade planner over it for red, blue or turbo belts, whose longer undergrounds still connect.
A balancer spreads every input belt evenly over every output belt, so a factory line downstream gets the same share from each lane of ore or plates. These were found by Factorio-SAT, a program that uses a SAT solver to search for the smallest balancer of each size.
Before you place it
- Clear a space of at least 10 × 4 tiles.
- It works in the base game without Space Age.
- It was made in Factorio 1.1; the game converts it when you import it, so check it once after placing.
