Add 3x3 Balancers and more priorities

I suggest improvements for balancers:
1) Increase the number of ports to 12 (3+3+3+3), sometimes 8 ports are not enough.
2) Add priority selection to the port (priority 1, priority 2, priority 3, priority 4 (sometimes very necessary)

....and:
3) You can also add a mini balancer for 6 ports (1+2+1+2)
4) Why balancers can only be placed in a horizontal position, add the possibility of placing them in a vertical position for greater convenience.

While I completely agree for the priority system, If you need more than 8 ports you can always just use multiple balancers.
Having them be stackable would be better, especially with the new vertical pipes.

I'd prefer if it would be the "Advanced balancer", not replacing the original one.

About balancers with 12 ports with priorities - I had a situation when I needed 1 input ports and more than 8-11 output ports, but with 8-11 priorities (Priority from 1 to 11) I understand that this can now be implemented with the help of 9 balancers, but it takes a lot of time and space on the map.
Therefore, I would really like the developers to add 12-port balancers and a priority system from 1 to 11, while not removing 8-port balancers from the game.

Idea for developers:
Select the number of ports (6/8/12) in the balancer using the T key (shown in the figure).

Maybe advanced balancer small (1x1 or 1x2 or 2x2), medium (2x2 or 3x3 or 2x2x2), large (3x3 or 2x2x2 or 3x3x2) or maybe also a tall version of each which gives and additional level of height

@Viktor [ideas] - good idea

Yeah it would be neat and compact, but you CAN do the exact setup as your picture shows by stacking multiple balancers like my picture shows. the 3 pipes out at the bottom is "priority 1", then the second balancer is "priority 2" then 3.

But i would rather have it as a second tier balancer, as:
1. It would break all saves.
2. It would take up more space than neccessary like 99% of the time, because most often you don't need 11 outputs, and even when you need more outputs it's more space effective to channel material down one conveyor to a second balancer, than having multiple conveyors from that 11 output balancer going with multiple conveyors to every consumer seperatly, it's wasteful of conveyor thrughput and space that those conveyor take up. Hope i make sense...nvm i made a picture to illustrate it better.

Vote up for priority numbers.

I would like to be able to se both high , normal, and low (or even the 15 levels used for trucks) often I have primary use, and secondary use and overflow. A filter has overflow would be just as good. So send something to route if able otherwise let it pass. Especially for food. Primary, feed the population, secondary make into animal feed, last make into compost.
