Efficient UPS Optimized Deuterium Fractionatior Tile - Each Fractionator Processes The Maximum 7200 Hydrogen Per Minute Consistently
I think this design is now OBSOLETE ; please see my "latest and greatest" at https://www.dysonsphereblueprints.com/blueprints/factory-efficient-ups-optimized-deuterium-fractionatior-tile-each-fractionator-processes-the-maximum-7200-hydrogen-per-minute-compact-with-fewer-belts - This new one uses far fewer structures/buildings, is more compact and I believe it's more UPS efficient.

This is a Fractionator tile similar to my previous design, but it now uses only sorters (no splitters), so should be more optimized for UPS in the endgame with the current patch. (I'll update this blueprint if the game is updated to make the splitters setup more UPS optimized)
Each Fractionator has its own loop belt which is constantly re-stocked by the sorter; so each processes the maximum amount of hydrogen possible per minute. Each loop belt has its own piler to re-stack the hydrogen back up to 4 as well.
This design is also as compact as possible while still maintaining the individual loop setup.
The ideal setup is to run the central hydrogen input belt with Hydrogen stacked to 4 (the maximum), either from an ILS with the appropriate research (set to max belt stack output), or by using 6 pilers to combine 4 Mk. 3 belts into a single 4-stacked belt.
You could also use proliferators on the hydrogen input belt to double the chance of a deuterium output, but at 2.5x the power cost, increasing the power cost from 3.96 MW per second (per Fractionator) to 9.9 MW per second (per Fractionator)
From my testing, a "line" of exactly 26 Fractionators, (6.5 of these tiles) with Mk. 3 proliferated input produces 60 deuterium per second (2 full Mk 3. belts) consistently, except the "first" 2 Fractionators on the "line" only run part of the time due to being output blocked part of the time.
With the belt stacking and the individual loops, I believe this design is optimized for maximum efficiency in terms of hydrogen processed into deuterium, and it's likely very good for UPS in the "endgame" due to the lack of splitters with the current design.
