Industrial Combiner

Joins three industrial pipes into one, so several boxes can share a single conveyor line. Costs 75 frags and pays off once a base has more than one drop box.

Overview

In-game description
Combines three separate industrial connections into one connection.

Everyone in your group comes home and empties the farm run into whichever box is closest to the door. An hour later three boxes are full of ore and the furnaces are cold. Give each box a storage adaptor, run a pipe from each into the combiner with the pipe tool, and one line leaves it for an industrial conveyor that feeds the smelting room.

That is the whole idea: three lines in, one out. Without it you set up and power a conveyor per box, typing the same filters three times. With it, one conveyor holds the rules for all of them.

It is the mirror of the industrial splitter, and big builds use both, first gathering the drop-off boxes, then sharing the ore across several furnaces. The far end works the same way: finished metal from several sources can merge into one pipe headed for a large wood box in the loot room.

It costs 75 metal fragments at a Level 1 bench and 15 scrap to research, so a mistake in the plan is cheap to fix.

Direct hit, hard side, no duds. Satchel Charge is a dud 20% of the time. Beancan Grenade is a dud 15% of the time. A range runs from point blank to the far end of the bullet's falloff, fired from an Assault Rifle.
