A splitter takes two belts in and sends two out, dividing items evenly and keeping each item in its lane; when one output backs up, everything goes to the other. Either input and either output can be given priority, and a filter sends one item type to one side and everything else to the other.	`Splitters, MechanicsSplitters, MechanicsSplitters, PrioritySplitters, Filter`	Wiki
Belts carry whatever walks on them, the player included, so running along a belt adds its speed and running against it takes it away; biters and spitters ride belts too.	`Belt tricksBelt tricks`	Wiki
