       automated Kovarex with one combinator. i think this is the optimal solution?

       @whitequark I'm not sure what your figure of merit is, but you can automate Kovarex with zero combinators. #Factorio

       @krans bots don't count as a solution

       @whitequark Bots are also not required

       @krans oh, I guess the unstated assumption is that I don't want to have any more U235 tied up than is absolutely necessary, like during warmup

       @whitequark@mastodon.social @krans@mastodon.me.uk circuits are still not requiredyou can do arbitrary ratio splitters, so that 1/41th of all input items output on one belt while the rest output at another. Just quite a lot harder than circuits.

       @ignaloidas @krans wouldn't that require like 20 splitters balanced in a weird tree?

       @whitequark@mastodon.social @krans@mastodon.me.uk only 9 https://www.reddit.com/r/factorio/comments/1c5o248/perfect_40_to_1_splitter_for_kovarex/Though this is a decently well optimized solution, you could do it in simpler ways with more splitters.
