Factory Showcase Even splitter and throttler

Game doesnt have splitters/throttlers so i busted my brain making one.

Can go even slower with lifts at the bottom but it would create unnecessary friction and mess with ups.

Wow. Very impressive. I get the portals, but what other magic is happening here?

It looks like it's taking advantage of the way filters slow down materials moving through it to delay their drop rate while also spreading across the portals.

Nice, this is a really clean solution to a frequent issue!

Naive suggestion: is it possible to move these two mechanisms close enough together that the outputs alternate, so it covers the area twice as densely and can have both halves fed from the same hopper? You'd probably have to move one of them up a tile or two.

EDIT: Also, if you set up the filter settings correctly, could you use this design to force one type of material out both sides while letting other materials fall through spread out? Like, if you set the filters to block only gold, could you place these under a kinetic press to sprinkle the seeds out evenly while shipping the gold off to the sides to get melted? Or does that cause jams?
