Got most of the machines laid out. Just need to fit in another 10 assemblers, at the far end, and finish all the belt connections.

Also got a decent chunk of the tubeway printed out.

For Assemblers, no, I'm not sure how smart or programmable splitters would help anything. There's not much going on here that I would call spaghetti, just routing two types of items into a line of machines.

I'm guessing you're talking about like a sushi belt setup? I've done that once before, in a computer & supercomputer factory, it was quite tricky to get right. The whole belt kept jamming up from the sheer volume of screws, until I setup a loopback.

Yes the idea is that you don't have to plan exactly which constructor goes where in order to not have to build lifts. I have indeed also built a loopback but every center output is only set to overflow. This way, it's less likely to jam. At the very end I made a manifold of specific items going into dimensional depots and if they're full, every next item just goes into the Awesome Sink.
