Please take note!!! I have quickly update this mod so it works in 0.16 - this means no guarantee of functionality or stability.

I've tested it and the game works, and the chests behave as previously.

See original mod-- https://mods.factorio.com/mods/boogieman14/Equalizer_Chests

--- 1.4.2 - Fixed issue where my mod was referencing old mod causing a 'could not find file' error.

This mod will provide 48-slot chests that will 'connect' with their direct neighbors and balance ("equalize") the contents of these chests (think Communicating vessels). My personal use case for this will be with train unloaders, where the chests furthest from the middle of the wagon don't receive nearly as much materials as the center chest.

This mod only deals with itemcounts, so no effort is made to balance individual items. There's also a lower threshold of (by default) 10 items below which no items will be transfer (this to avoid ping-ponging stuff back and forth). This threshold can be changed by editing a line at the top of control.lua - use at own risk, no extensive testing has been done for added cpu load.

To install this mod without losing any entities i suggest copying the info.lua from the old equalizer chests mod, and pasting into the .zip of this one. therefore factorio will recognize this as the old mod.
