Super Sucker (9× Conveyor Throughput)

A single conveyor moves loot at a fixed rate. You can’t make one faster, but you can run several in parallel off the same source and merge them back into the same destination.

Nine conveyors move loot nine times faster than one.

Why nine

Splitters and combiners are both 3:1. One splitter gives 3 paths, a second layer gives 9. Three conveyors works the same way for 3×, and a third layer would give 27 if you can power it.

The shape

                    ┌── conveyor ──┐
   source ── split ──┼── conveyor ──┼── combine ── destination
                    └── conveyor ──┘
                      (×9 total)

Source box → adaptor → splitter → splitter → nine conveyors → three combiners → one combiner → adaptor → destination.

What you need

9 conveyors, 4 splitters, 4 combiners, 2 storage adaptors, and power for all nine conveyors.

Watch out

• Conveyors only go one way. Each pulls from its input side and pushes to its output side. Wire the whole bank the same way round or parts of it do nothing.
• Power is the real limit, not pipe length. Nine conveyors is nine times the draw. Pipe depth here is 3 of a possible 32.
• Splitters don’t divide items into portions. They open parallel paths so every conveyor can pull from the same source.
• Match it to your source. If the source can’t supply faster than three conveyors can move, the other six cost power and do nothing.

Not built and measured by us yet, and the splitter’s exact behaviour is unconfirmed. Treat 9× as the intent rather than a measured figure.
