BerbCorp Area Cleaner is a small, UPS-conscious cleanup tool for belts, inserter hands, and dropped ground items.
What it changes
- Adds a shortcut-bar area selection tool.
- Adds a shortcut-bar filter window.
- Supports whitelist and blacklist item modes.
- Marks matching belt stacks, inserter-held stacks, and dropped ground items for bot cleanup.
- Keeps item qualities, durability, ammo, health, spoilage, and tags when moving stacks off belts or inserters.
Why
Vacuum-style mods are useful, but continuous automatic scanning can spend script time even when you only need an occasional cleanup pass. This version is intentionally event-driven: it does no background polling and only runs when you select an area.
Compatibility
Designed for Factorio 2.1 saves. It does not require Space Age.
The item filters match item names and apply to all qualities of that item.
Balance
This does not delete items for free. Items removed from belts or inserter hands are spilled onto the ground and marked for construction/logistic bot cleanup. Dropped items are marked directly.
Safe for existing saves
Safe to add to existing saves. Removing the mod removes the shortcut tools and filter GUI; already spilled or marked items remain normal game entities.
