I will attempt to explain how to configure a moderately complex fountain design since the interface is not very intuitive.

Start by building the Mechanism. It is built in a small construction site, do not add any mats to it until you make the 3 output gearbox. I suggest you look for gearbox that have two ranges that overlap, that way you can use two of the same ranges, however, to make it even easier do not use one where the different range is in the middle. You can tear down the construction site and get the material back and try again as many times as you need, also, the construction site will last two hours and if you need more time you can add just 1d of 1 item to reset the timer.

I will not include the building of the basins, that is the easy part, however once the basins are built they can be moved by clicking on them and using the "Side" option. I suggest you use the F8F8 camera and try to get them about the same distance apart. Do NOT build the mechanism too close to another fountain and try to keep the basins close to your mechanism.

We will start with a 5 basin design. Notice the images below; on the left illustrates the 5 basins and their configuration
