Only one filter for input and output can be set at a time.

	* Storage MK.I can be built on top of the Splitter~~. In this way~~, ~~the~~ ~~cargo~~ in ~~Storage MK.I can also~~ be distributed in and ~~out~~ ~~via~~ the Splitter. However, ~~please note that~~ this ~~feature~~ ~~can only~~ output cargo ~~with a stacking quantity of 1~~.		* A single [[Storage Mk.I]] can be built on top of the Splitter, allowing its contents to be distributed and received with the Splitter. However, this cannot stack output cargo.
	It is also possible to ~~additionally~~ place a [[Logistics Distributor]] on ~~that~~ splitter-storage, turning it effectively into a ~~mini~~ ~~PLS~~ of sorts.		** It is also possible to place a [[Logistics Distributor]] on top of the splitter-storage, turning it effectively into a miniature [[Planetary Logistics Station]] of sorts.
	** The storage does not show up on the ~~splitter~~'s priority/filter settings ~~pop-up~~ -- ~~meaning you~~ cannot ~~make~~ it ~~the priority~~ output in ~~order~~ to ~~create~~ ~~a reserve for you~~ to ~~later access; nor can you~~ filter which ~~material~~ from ~~the~~ belts will go into the storage.		** The storage does not show up on the Splitter's priority and filter settings menu, so it cannot be a primary output. It also is not possible to filter which items from input belts will go into the storage.
	** ~~Though the~~ storage ~~can~~ fill up if the ~~splitter~~'s ~~output belt(s)~~ (if any) can't ~~remove~~ items as quickly as they arrive on ~~it's~~ ~~input belt(s)~~.		** The storage may fill up quickly if the Splitter's outputs (if any) can't distribute items as quickly as they arrive on its inputs.
	** ~~The~~ storage will empty as quickly as possible on all output belts ~~-- even~~ if the ~~splitter~~ has one output set as priority the storage contents will be output on all output belts.		** Likewise, the storage will empty as quickly as possible on all output belts. Even if the Splitter has one output set as the priority, the storage's contents will be output on ''all'' the Splitter's output belts.
	** ~~The~~ ~~storage~~ & ~~splitter~~ ~~combo~~ ~~does~~ ~~not~~ ~~require~~ power.		** Neither the Splitter nor the storage requires any power.
			*Splitters can be used to efficiently feed byproduct items back into processes and prevent them from clogging up. For instance, producing [[Casimir Crystal\|Casimir Crystals]] requires both [[Graphene]] and [[Hydrogen]], both of which are obtainable by processing [[Fire Ice]]. However, they require much more Hydrogen than just the byproduct from Graphene production, so an external supply is necessary. By setting the external supply and the byproduct Hydrogen belts as inputs, then prioritizing the byproduct belt, the byproduct Hydrogen will always be used up before the main supply, preventing it from backing up.

			*Similarly, Splitters allow for an efficient [[Fractionator]] setup, with the same principle applying. Put the supply of Hydrogen as an input of a Splitter, create a large output loop containing all the Fractionators, then have the loop feed back in as an input. By setting the looped input as the priority, Hydrogen currently in the loop is prioritized, and the supply's Hydrogen will only fill gaps on the belt. To maximize the amount of Hydrogen on the belt at once, use [[Automatic Piler\|Automatic Pilers]] at the end of the loop to stack the remaining Hydrogen (as stack height is reduced when Hydrogen is converted to [[Deuterium]]) and to stack the input Hydrogen.
