I always wanted to find a design that uses the slight randomness that particle can have at the exit point of a small pipe, to split them between path that need them both for example. Maybe that could be inspiration for you?

mind to show me how to do that randomness? so far in my tests im unable to replicate it

Ok, I think I'm misremembering things from an early version where that did happen, and I was on the fence about keeping or not. It introduce randomness but that could be cool in this settings. Anyway as a second idea, you can use small turns to change exit depending on velocity, it can probably be a lot smaller than the usual branch.

here is a branchless example that manage to accelerate particles anyway

Okay, this is a genious thing, but I think I will need to rack my brains to find an interesting or aesthetic thing to do with this, but I keep in mind this idea

So basically, I just found a new way to know if a particle is fast enough to pass the branch : when it is fast enough it will go to the upper level. I know that with those exact position of boosts it works but there may be other possibilities. Anyway, I share this because I think this way could help spare some space if well-used

UPDATE : In my session of experiments, I found this shape that basically uses the hitbox of the collision chamber so the particles in the lower loop transform and get into the upper one,just then it transforms again in gravitron + Electron that go through the curve thanks to a glitch (PS, this exact position of the second Collision Chamber and orange Boosts so the particles reach the perfect speed to collide right in the CC

ohhh the speed randomness. though honestly im not really open to open loops... (as previous designs shows)

i may have an idea. though its a bit unconventional from my designs which usually are closed loops all the time
