First of all, thanks a lot for the pipes. They are a great help already. However, they could be even better if they were multi-out. A
multi-out pipe will split a stack evenly among all its outputs. Also, we could have an IC to handle the splitting ourselves (say, by using a redstone pulse to switch output pipes).

Also, there is something weird with this bugtracker: I can't change the project for the issue.

you are supposed to get it right the first time

Making multi pipes evenly split items would be the biggest pain possible... The pipes don't know that they've even split. But a distribution IC could work.... I will make a distribution IC's.

Done.

I had to look into the source to figure this one out - correct me if I did it wrong, I'm not good at Java.

The IC has two parameters (read from line 3, split by ":"): "left" and "right". It also has a counter (stored at line 4, default -1). For each item stack this IC processes, it increments the counter, and if it is in (left, left+right] sends the stack right; otherwise, sends it left. Also, once the counter goes over left+right+1, it is reset back to 0.

Well, this will do. But a stack-splitting IC will also be good.
