Auto Splitter Block
A Factorio 2.0 MOD that automatically sets splitter output filters to block the unused side when only one output has a compatible transport entity.
Features
- When a splitter has a transport entity on only one output side, the other side is automatically blocked using an output filter.
- The filter is cleared when both outputs become occupied or both become empty.
- Responds to placement and removal by players, robots, and space platforms.
- Splitters with user-configured filters or connected to circuit networks are left untouched.
Block Filter Item
The item used for blocking is configurable in MOD settings (startup).
- Default: Deconstruction planner
- With Null Item installed: Null item (default)
Compatible Transport Entities
- Transport belts (same direction or sideloading, but not opposite)
- Underground belts (same rules as transport belts)
- Splitters (same direction only)
- Loaders (same direction only)
All tiers are supported.
