Efficient Deuterium Fractionator Tile - Constant 7200 Fracrate Per Minute - Pile Sorters Edition
Now that we have pile sorters, this blueprint is a fractionator tile which allows for a long chain of connected fractionators on a loop belt. With this setup, a fully-upgraded Pile Sorter (This blueprint REQUIRES all of its upgrades researched) will constantly re-supply and re-stack each fractonator's input belt to a 4-stack, resulting in each one producing the maximum possible amount of deuterium at a constant rate.
(As long as there's enough power, and enough hydrogen coming in)
This requires the following:
1. At least one 4-stacked belt of Hydrogen as input. (A longer "chain" of tiles likely requires 2 full 4-stacked belts of Hydrogen, at the top and bottom layer, but a shorter chain can probably "get by" with one hydrogen belt)
1a. For a single belt of Hydrogen input, I recommend a bi-level splitter at the hydrogen insertion point in the center, to "feed" both the upper belt and lower belt. The input splitter is shown in one of the screenshots.
2. Connect and close the hydrogen belt loop at each "end" of the chain. For those "ends", you can "flatten" the input and output belts (to ground level) for the "last" fractionators in the line, and re-connect a pile sorter to one of the inputs. An example of this splitter is provided in some of the screenshots for this blueprint. An example with the connector belts highlighted in red: https://imgur.com/a/sS4MdkQ
3. Longer and/or highly productive "chains" of these tiles might require some backwards facing pile sorters on the deuterium output belts. The pile sorters there will stack the deuterium output back to piles of 4, so that other fractionators further down the line will not become output blocked and stop the whole loop/process. An example of this is shown in one of the screenshots.
Optional:
* Mk 3. Proliferators for more Deuterium output, at the cost of more power usage
