This mod adds a set of buildings, Modular Load Balancers. It is unlocked via a Tier 4 Milestone which costs 20 Motors and 20 Modular Frames.

Once unlocked, each Modular Load Balancer module can be found in the Build Menu under Logistics -> Modular Load Balancers<br>

When balancer modules are snapped together via vanilla building snapping, they form a "Load Balancer Group" which combines all the inputs and outputs. It then divides all input items equally among the connected outputs.

There are a variety of balancer modules:
- Modular Load Balancer - Your standard module with 1 input and 1 output.
- Input Only Module - Only has an input, no output.
- Output Only Module - Only has an output, no input.
- Filter Module - Allows you to set a single item filter that will be sent to the output. Also comes in Output Only.
- Programmable Module - Allows you to set multiple items in a filter that will be sent to the output. Also comes in Output Only.
- Overflow Module - Items will only go to this output if all other outputs are full. Also comes in Output Only.
- Block/Box Module - Just a filler module in case you want to fill a space but don't want an input or output.

<br>
Additional Load Balancer Groups can be created by simply placing another Modular Load Balancer without snapping it to an existing one. This also means if you place a Modular Load Balancer next to an existing group but fail to snap it, it won't be part of that group even though it is right next to it and may appear to be connected. <br><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mklierman/SatisfactoryMods/refs/heads/main/LoadBalancers/Screenshots/3.jpg" alt="" width="800" />

When snapping, the group you are snapping to will be highlighted:<br>
