I am trying to evenly distribute coal into coal generators to power my Technic machines. What is the best way to do this?

    If I remember correctly items in pipes chose a random direction when the pipe splits. So not perfectly even, but the items will be split.

    Another option would be doing something with Mesecons to detect if an item has passed through and then trigger something like pistons pushing the pipes so the item goes in the other direction.

      With pipes it just goes into the first one. I had to do some lua programing to evenly disperse the coal. Its not a great solution so I though I would ask to see if anyone else has a better idea
