⚠️ DEPRECATED — no longer maintained.

This mod has been fully rewritten and continues under a new name:
➡️ Beyond Belts (beyond-belts)

Please install the successor for new playthroughs. v2.3.6 remains
available only for finishing existing v2.x save games.

Why the move?

The v3 rewrite was already save-breaking, so it made sense to break cleanly instead of carrying the legacy fork name forward:

• Clean namespace — every prototype, setting, and technology now uses a bb- prefix (waslegacy unprefixed) to avoid collisions with the upstream AdvancedBeltsSA and other mods in the family.
• Modernized integrations — DeadlockBlackRubberBelts (unmaintained for 2.0) replaced by Black Rubber Belts - Remastered; AAI Loaders, Loaders Modernized, vanilla-loaders-hd and Deadlock Beltboxes integrations hardened with defensive nil-guards.
• Tier-driven architecture — single source of truth in tiers.lua; entities, items, recipes, technologies and integrations are all generated from one tier table, making future additions trivial.
• Identity — Beyond Belts describes what the mod actually does (belt tiers past vanilla) without dragging the historical fork chain into the name.

If you have a v2.x save, finish it on v2.3.6. There is no automatic migration to beyond-belts.

Original v2.x notes (kept for reference)

This was an unofficial dirty fork of AdvancedBeltsSA by Buggi, which itself was a fork of Advanced Belts by Warnone.

What this fork fixed

• v2.3.6 – Fixed sort order of Lane balancers + icon changes; added missing German, Japanese, and Russian localizations; in/compatibility list update.
• v2.3.5 – Updated dependencies and API for compatibility with the latest version of Loaders Modernized; added missing entity strings for Loaders Modernized.
• v2.3.4 – Fixed Vanilla Loaders HD API integration; removed LoaderRedux support due to incompatibility with 2.0.

About the mod (v2.x)

Fully updated for Space Age. Adds three new tiers of transport belts (Advanced, Elite, Hyper) with configurable speeds and underground distances, including splitters, lane splitters, and underground belts. Uses Space Age materials — the highest tier must be crafted in space without productivity.

Optional mod compatibility:
- Vanilla Loaders HD
- AAI Loaders (with Sane Loader Balance support)
- Deadlock Black Rubber Belts
- Deadlock Beltboxes & Loaders
- Loaders Modernized

Default belt speeds: Advanced 90/s · Elite 120/s · Hyper 150/s (configurable up to 180/s)
