It is a huge mess, and my biggest problem right now is that i have iron plates being split off into multiple side paths. However splitters split 50% of the amount between each of the belts, which starves the much later belts that need iron plates.

I'm just starting out with this so I could be totally off, but couldn't you use a series of splitters to get more granular proportions?

So split the stream into A and B, each of which has 50%. Then split B into B1 and B2, each with 25% of the original. Then feed B1 back into A and you're at 75/25%. With a couple more stages you could control this down to single digit percentages.

Anyway, just wondering if something like that would work. Your idea of centralized distribution would probably be much cleaner though.
