g bob's logistic mod & Deadlock stacking & Loader Redux

Support for belts and splitters from Bob's logistic mod (https://mods.factorio.com/mod/boblogistics)
Support for stacking beltbox from Deadlock stacking (https://mods.factorio.com/mod/DeadlockStacking)
Support for Loader from Loader redux (https://mods.factorio.com/mod/LoaderRedux)
PS the latter 2 have support for bob's logistic mod

i think it would be great to have this since power could flow from belt=> loader=>beltbox=>loader=>belt so using beltbox to compress or decompress a belt wouldn't cut the power off

PS 2: beltbox's require power, would be nice to have the conducting effect power the beltbox don't know if this would be possible

thx for the hard work

Please use nice bob's electric power pole on long distance, with thousands of belts come thousands of hidden-electric-poles from this mod and bad FPS/UPS can be reached much earlier. Only black (grey) belt will be added.

But stucking beltbox and loaders for it can be added.

when i use Deadlock's Stacking Beltboxes, i also use Deadlock's Compact Loaders instead of Loader Redux. I hope that both can be powered respectively transmit power along the belt without the need to build two power poles to bridge a gap at them ...

and yes, lots of power poles cause problems: not only the number and their influence on fps/ups, but maybe even worse the builtin limits in factorio about the number of connections that a powerpole may have:
(from the very bottom of https://wiki.factorio.com/Electric_system) ... automatically connect ... according to the following rules: -1- connect to available poles starting with the closest one, -2- it won't form a 3 pole triangle, and (most importantly) -3- It will not be connected to more than 5 other poles
powering several belts in a multi-belt mainbus might easily cause all available 5 connections to be exhausted for connections to other belts and thus power poles next to those belts might be unable to connect to them ...
i have seen this problem on some other mods, eg when offering powered rails which cause a web of power connections between them and no external connections to power poles :-(

too bad that i couldn't test any of these two points now - see my other post about a bug report when starting factorio :-(
