As one of our favourite YouTubers found out, the OG 'Belt Balancer' absolutely TANKS your UPS once you have a few thousand. How well does this mod avoid slowing down your game?

It should be better than other mods, that do similar things that I have looked at since it just uses linked belts, to link to a normal balancer made with belts and splitters on a hidden surface. I specifically avoided using API such insert_at_back because such API would require running every tick for UPS reasons even though it would have been easier to do.

I did look at some other balancer mods before making this and they were using these API https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/LuaTransportLine.html and unless you wanted real slow belts those API would have called quite often which definitely will effect UPS.

TLDR;
It should be more UPS friendly than other similar mods.

Thanks for the response. It might be a good idea to compare the UPS cost of 10,000 of each of the balancers in the mod description to allow people to have their minds set at ease. (That's a ridiculous number, I know, but it will make the differences pretty obvious.)

Cheers!
