Summary

The T-Junction is a junction of two belts by joining one into the side of another. The T-Junction provides utility for factory design since it allows an alternative (and space conserving) way to force belt priority.

The proper T-Junction, as seen in the image left, ensures that items on the straight Conveyor Belt (Blue) get flow priority over the one joining into it (Yellow).

It can be used to solve Issues with Hydrogen Priority, ensure saturation of Fractionator Loops, create Sushi Setups that do not jam or just to merge multiple Belts in general.

Faulty Junction, mixing Belts inconsistently.

The Image to the right displays a faulty T-Junction, which will mix belts inconsistently. It's characterized by two belts colliding head on, leaving a stump of belt.

Correct T-Junction, forcing priority and seamless merging.
