Various styles of splitters.

Using the Tab key switches the style of the Splitter!
The Splitter can also sort!
Splitters can be stacked on top of each other, with the stacking limit being the same as for the storage, determined by the current level of Vertical Construction upgrade.
"Now, 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." [Patch notes: Version 0.9.27.15033]
- 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.
- 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 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.
- The storage & splitter combo does not require power.
- You can still set a Logistics Distributor on top of the storage -- allowing the splitter, storage, distributor stack to be a source and/or destination for items moved by Logistics Bot
