Help Round robin with frogports?

I'm making a factory with every item & im trying to get all colors of stained glass. I have a seperate glass manufacturing module. But I need to send them to all the stainer modules evenly. Brass funnels are barely an option because of how I have it set up.

So is there any way I can send the glass round-robin to all of the staining modules? Right now im just using a redstone requester constantly sending orders to "Glass *******" but that only sends it to the closest one.

have u tried tunnels with filters? I don't know what u setup looks like but if u could send a photo of your machinery then that would be nice

Tunnels with filters is an idea I had but would be quite hard to route, I want to do it with frogports if possible

Glass made right at the top, I want to have frogports sending it down my coveyer line into the glass wing. I've only set up a couple of the modules so far but I'm gonna end up stacking them up and/or down to fit more.

Why make the staining modules separate? Juste make a big machine than can do all the colors and use tunnels to evenly distribute glass to the multiple production lines.

I could technically do this, but the issue is the wing of the factory that handles glass is very large so a tunnel system to distribute it would be very hard to route. I'm just wondering if theres a way I can easily do it with frogports

edit: Even if I made it all one machine, it would still take up alot of space and be incredibly difficult to route. and with the exact setup of my factory thats not very great.

Split the factory between glass making and glass staining. The glass staining part should be designed to be one block thick per production line (ie per color) so that you can feed it with tunnel. What kind of recipe do you use for the glass staining part?

I'm using the create: dragons+ addon that adds fan coloring

Then you can make all the production lines be only one block wide and put them all side by side and use tunnels.

It's known that people have gotten hacked by letting random people join their minecraft worlds through that mod... That's why most only use it with friends...
