Hover any inserter (or inserter ghost) to see its maximum throughput in the entity tooltip: items per second with research hand-size bonuses, quality, circuit/manual stack limits, belt stacking and belt speeds taken into account.
Providing the player with new tools or adjusting the game interface, without fundamentally changing gameplay.
Version: 1.0.1
Date: 2026-10-18
Changes:
- Tooltips are prepared for all inserters in the background, so they show the moment you hover,
also in multiplayer, where each hover used to wait for a network round trip.
- Added map setting "Prepare tooltips for all inserters in advance". Turn it off before removing
the mod from a save: the mod then removes its lines from all inserters.
- If the mod is removed without that, its leftover tooltip lines show empty text instead of
"Unknown key" errors.
Optimizations:
- Belt pickup estimates are cached and read belt contents without per-item objects.
