Short summary (for the "Summary" field)

Deadlock stacking beltboxes and compact loaders for all four Advanced Belts tiers — Elite, Extreme, Supreme, and Ultimate.


Long description (for the mod page, Markdown)

Adds compact loaders and stacking beltboxes from Deadlock's Stacking Beltboxes & Compact Loaders for every belt tier in Advanced Belts (Updated).

If you've unlocked the Advanced Belts tiers, you can now load them into and out of chests at full belt speed, and compress their throughput with matching stacking beltboxes — just like Deadlock's loaders and beltboxes do for the vanilla belts.

Tiers

Each tier gets a loader and a stacking beltbox, colour-matched to its belt:

  • Elite — 60 items/s (green)
  • Extreme — 75 items/s (cyan)
  • Supreme — 90 items/s (purple)
  • Ultimate — 105 items/s (orange)

Loader throughput and beltbox stacking speed are derived automatically from each belt's real speed, so everything stays perfectly in balance with Advanced Belts.

Technologies

  • Loaders unlock with their matching belt research (Logistics 4–7).
  • Stacking beltboxes each get their own dedicated research, chained Elite → Extreme → Supreme → Ultimate and following on from Deadlock's Express stacking tech.
  • Upgrade-planner support: the four tiers upgrade into one another, so a single upgrade plan walks your loaders and beltboxes up the chain.

Details

  • No new graphics — uses Deadlock's shared artwork, tinted to each belt's colour, so it looks and feels native.
  • Recipes escalate sensibly: each tier is built from the previous tier's loader/beltbox plus a modest material cost. Easy to tune.
  • Cleanly does nothing if either required mod is missing.

Requirements

Compatibility

Tested with Space Exploration. Because SE changes the collision masks of belts, the upgrade planner won't hop directly from Deadlock's vanilla Express loaders into the Elite tier — the four Advanced Belts tiers still upgrade among themselves. Everything else works as expected.
