Diverter
Three conveyors round a spring flap: items coming in go out left or right, or stop, by hand or by a signal.
In the game
How to get it
At the grid: 3 conveyors of its speed (top row corners and below), a spring in the top middle and 2 iron sheets: 1 diverter. Set it in a conveyor line; choose Left, Right or Shut on its sheet, or let a signal choose.
What it is for
Split a line between two machines, send rejects aside, or build a sorter with an item detector.
Why it exists
Choice is what makes logistics clever: one flap, many factories.
The same text the game shows in its progress tree and on the item's sheet (I).
How to make it
At the grid: 3 conveyors of its speed (the normal or the fast one), a coil spring, 2 iron sheets.
How it works
Items coming in at its front go out on its left or its right, or stop there (a gate). Set it by hand on its sheet, or by a signal: under 128 one way, from 128 the other.
