Newb, trying to get a three way splitter going
Hello all. Just started this game couple days ago, so i'm really at the start (just found the sword minions like a minute ago).
I am struggling with one problem. To efffectively build planks, i have a wood cutter, three saw stations for sawn timber that then gets to one saw for planks. But i struggle with how to set this up to get all three inital saws a steady supply of logs.
My first design was a simple loop from tree cutter to the three saws and back to the tree. But then most of the logs only reached the first saw, some the second, but none the third.
I tried a three way splitter, but if i have no loop the minions stop at the three way to let returning minions go through first, and even if not it seems there is a small delay at this splitter.
I tried routing it back to the tree, but either got minions going in the wrong direction or back the wrong way.
Current test is one loop to a crate, then a loop to three separate crates, and on each of those a loop to one cutter. Which works better then the others, but still most of the wood goes to the first saw only.
What is the best way to set this up?
