I am trying to use a router to fill a series of coke furnaces. My coke furnaces are all connected to one another via barrels and the router is upgraded to only fill coke furnaces. I have a steady supply of coal coming in, but am finding that the router isn't distributing to my coke furnaces evenly. I occasionally find a bunch of coal in one while some of the others are sitting empty. Does anyone have insight into this? Is it a matter of the router resetting its distribution if it doesn't have a non-stop supply? I really need all my coke furnaces processing the coal evenly.

Edit: I did a little experimenting and found that it will give 26 coal to one coke furnace before moving onto the next. 26 happens to be the number of blocks that comprise the coke furnace, so it would seem that each block is being treated as a separate container. If this isn't a reported bug, I think I will try to add it, wherever Factorization is updated.

How about a hopper on top of each oven and filter for the hopper instead of the ovens.

Thanks, that is a great idea. I already went with relays, but hopper would have been good, too.
