Overview
You know the problem. Whenever you need to get much stuff into the hub you get uneven distribution which reduces your productivity.This diverter allows to get the maximum influx into the hub. It has 32 entrances, which handle the stuff during overload with a priority scale from low at the entrances closer to the corners to high at the entrances closer to the middle of the sides. As you can see on this screenshot, the hub lanes are full without any gap. It uses the hub with 100 % efficiency! More is not possible. And the goods are also well mixed. Any of the 32 entrances mixes it’s contents to the closest 8 hub entrances. Enough to have not to think about, where to place your input.
Description
Model A
This is the simple starter version. You can see the full details on this image. The mixing layout has been designed to prevent any disruptions of the flow to the hub. Simple structures are either blocking incoming traffic or dont use the hub efficiently. This one is complicated but allows maximum influx AND maximum use of the capacity of the hub.
There is not a single gap at the lines into the hub. The mixing has also been optimized enough that there is no traffic jam until you try to put more into the hub than it’s 16 entrances can actually take. The tunnel entrances at the sides are just there to make the outer perimeter more visible.
The usage is simple. You put your influx onto the entrances. Using the hub at full capacity is now not one of your problems anymore.
The prioritisation system is simple to use. It is only required, if you produce more, than the hub can actually take. Stuff you need more should be sent into the entrances closer to the middle of the sides. Stuff you need less should be sent into the entrances closer to the corners. The diverter will then mix the influx according to capacity of the hub and the chosen priority.
Model B Big Version
This is it. A device to mix them all. To fill up the hub and to keep the stuff flowing. This design cannot be improved much anymore. It is the ultimate congestion diverter. And it has 32 entrances!
This is the bigger, but more beautiful and a little bit more effcient, than the following small version of this hub.
You will notice, that it is lees complicated and has just a connection from any entrance to every of the 4 sides of the hub and just mixing on parallel lines. No mixing and no circles and other stuff. I found out, that this is the actual secret for ultimate diverting.
One detail you should know, is that the hub can only take a little bit less than the maximum upgraded conveyers can deliver. The capacity of the hub is actually only fully used, when the hub itself disturbs the flow.
.
Model B Small Version
It is (almost) the same as the previous version. But it takes less place and looks more complicated. The amount of mixing modules has been reduced. This seems to have a barely, but still noticable impact on the effectivity.
Outdated Models:
The following 2 are not as good as the Model B Hub. But i let them here to allow players to continue build them.
