1x1 Size Balancer (4 Port)

76 votes

The new 4x4 (8 port) balancers are great. Alot of times only 3 or 4 ports are needed in a tight spot. So what about a 1x1 size balancer with 4 ports? Same mechanics and functions etc.

Agree, lots of balancers I use are actually only "priority valves" to divert a product to somewhere else when overfilled.

Generally agree, 1x1 is a bit too OP. I would suggest 1x2 or 1x2 verically.

I hate to use the "other games have this" argument, but it fits extremely well here. Almost every other automation-based game has 1x1's, 1x2's and 2x2's

I think having it be a "1x1 smart connector (1-2 inputs that can go to 1-3 outputs, based on priority and filtering)" that is unlocked when you unlock the 2x2 balancer, would be a great way to do it. Or at least add a 1x2 that only has 1 input and 2 outputs (or 2 outputs and 1 input, controllable and filterable from the interface)

Currently, a 2x2 (8 configurable inputs/outputs) is excessive in both cost and space for what they are commonly used for.

1x1 isn't "OP", it alleviates tedium of workarounds. Tedium != Difficulty.

1x2 minimum. 1x1 is not realistic
