✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- 21.9k endorsements and 62k downloads—clearly a trusted utility in the community.
- The measuring tool is a game-changer for verifying real-world throughput, not just theoretical numbers.
- Lightweight utility that fits right into the utilities category—no bloat, just useful info.
⚠️ Cons
- Only shows ideal conditions for the base display—real setups with stack bonuses or circuit conditions might differ.
- The measuring tool requires manual setup for each test, which can be tedious if you're checking many inserters.
- Compatibility with other mods that alter inserter behavior isn't guaranteed—test with your modpack.
If you're a Factorio engineer who obsesses over belt compression and inserter timing, this is a must-have. It's also great for players designing mega-factories who need precise throughput numbers without guessing. Casual builders might find it less essential, but it's still handy for quick checks.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use the measuring tool to compare different inserter types (yellow vs blue) on the same belt to see real throughput differences.
- Remember that throughput is affected by stack size bonuses from research—test with your current tech level.
- When designing a compact build, use the display to quickly verify if an inserter can keep up with a belt's demand.
