Usage

Item Sorting

Sides of the Brass Tunnel can be Filtered to only allow certain items to pass. If multiple outputs are available, items will be treated according to the tunnel's setting, being split by default.

Value Settings

The Value Settings Screen can be accessed from the top of the Tunnel. It is only viewable if the Tunnel has other outputs or is connected to other Tunnels.

Setting	Function
Split	Items will be split amongst available outputs.
Forced Split	Only split items when all outputs are available.
Round Robin	Place inputs on available outputs in a round robin fashion.
Forced Round Robin	Wait for unavailable outputs in a round robin sequence to become available.
Prefer Nearest	Only move the item to next nearest tunnel when the nearest output is unavailable.
Randomize	Output is randomized.
Synchronize Inputs	Output all at once, stalling when items are missing. Synchronized tunnels may not draw from adjacent tunnels, so it may be necessary to have splitting tunnels placed before them.
