Inserter Visualizer Lite

Visualize drop and pickup positions of an inserter.

Inspired by Inserter Visualizer.

Usage

Hover over an inserter and see the symbols appearing.

Difference to Inserter Visualizer

My Mod does one thing: proper visualization of drop and pickup positions for an single inserter.

Pro:

  • More appealing visuals
  • Support pickup positions (Note: Inserters will pickup from any position, so this shows only the position having the first priority)
  • More accurate drop positions
  • Performance (see section "Why 'Lite'?")
  • Simple (no shortcuts, no buttons, no GUI, no settings...)

Con:

  • Currently supports only one single (hovered) inserter (no belt tracing / no display of all inserters on the complete screen)

Why "Lite"?

The mod Inserter Visualizer does quite expensive tracing of belts, it's using internal queues to be worked on (executed on each tick), it's storing lots of data as part of your save game. It's fine for smaller bases, but I've noticed the impact on bigger bases. My Mod doesn't require any of this.
