Deadlock's Stacking Beltboxes and Compact Loaders Continued

Unofficial community-maintained continuation of Deadlock's Stacking Beltboxes and Compact Loaders for Factorio 2.1.

Deadlock's Stacking Beltboxes and Deadlock's Compact Loaders are combined into one mod. The mod adds compact 1x1 loaders and stacking beltboxes, allowing supported items to be stacked and unstacked for much higher belt throughput.

This continuation keeps the original gameplay, graphics, concept and API as intact as possible while updating the mod for Factorio 2.1 and Space Age compatibility.

Important

This is not an official release from the original maintainers. It exists to keep the mod usable on newer Factorio versions.

If the original maintainers return and wish to resume maintenance, this continuation can be archived, redirected or transferred as appropriate.

Compatibility

Tested with:

• Factorio 2.1
• Space Age enabled and disabled
• Basic, fast and express loaders
• Turbo loaders with Space Age
• Beltboxes
• Stacking and unstacking recipes

Inter-mod support

The original public modding API is still available for bridge mods and compatibility integrations.

Bridge mods should generally call the API from data-final-fixes.lua and check that deadlock exists before calling it.

The main API functions are:

• deadlock.add_stack(...)
• deadlock.destroy_stack(...)
• deadlock.destroy_vanilla_stacks()
• deadlock.add_tier(...)

More detailed API documentation is available in the GitHub README.
