About this build

57 compact balancers for blue belts, from 1 to 2 up to 8 to 8. Each one uses the smallest area the solver could find with blue underground belts, which pass under up to 8 tiles. 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 × 12 tiles for the largest blueprint in the book.
  • It works in the base game without Space Age.
  • It is large: construction robots will place it much faster than building by hand.
  • It was made in Factorio 1.1; the game converts it when you import it, so check it once after placing.
