Variable count splitters would be nice (programming.dev)

I'm really surprised there doesn't seem to be a modded (or vanilla) splitter that lets you set the output ratio for each side. I saw one that lets you configure the rate of output, but I'm not sure if it's updated. Regardless, a simple thing like "this side gets 1, this side gets 3, this side gets 0" would be so useful for building manifolds that don't take forever to balance and other stuff.

This is why I like the manifold method, but you can get creative by combining splitters.

Remember that things are equally split. Need 1/3 here and 2/3 there? One output goes here, Merge two outputs of a splitter to go there. Need more complicated fractions? Expand the math to allow more

I guess I could fiddle with something like

-S\
 | |
 M/
 |
-S

For especially long manifolds.

And I know manifolds are equivalent to tree like perfect balancers given time, but I like to see factories at 100% efficiency before I leave em and it's annoying to wait lol. Plus with "batch" like setups balancers are better than manifolds since you don't have a steady stream.

I'm gonna do some more math on this. I think for every manifold it's always better to do it like this. And it doesn't take up as much space as a real balancer tree would while still getting better ratios than a normal manifold.
