QoL features for Loaders in Editor Mode
Posted: Fri Jul 03, 2026 9:27 pm
TL;DR
Add QoL features (belt stacking, throughput limits, upgrade planner) to Loaders in order to make testing builds easier in Editor Mode.What?
- Add belt stacking slider (from 1 to max stack size)
- Add belt throughput slider (from 1 to max belt speed) for each lane
- Allow Loaders to be targeted by the upgrade planner to upgrade/downgrade belt tiers
Why?
Throughout Configuration
Currently a setup like the first picture is required to simulate a fully stacked belt of items while testing.- 07-03-2026, 10-43-43.png (345.46 KiB) Viewed 101 times
A Loader can only simulate a single stack of items on a belt. For a debugging tool like the Loader, it really makes sense to set the belt stack size and, if feasible, the belt throughput in the loader UI itself.

Upgrade/Downgrading
When in the editor, I will commonly upgrade/downgrade my belts; however, the Loaders themselves are not targeted by the upgrade planer, and so each one needs to be manually changed to the desired belt tier.- 07-03-2026, 16-17-44.png (2.07 MiB) Viewed 101 times
