Vladance - BeltBalancer Imp (Factorio 2.0 Space Age)

A complete from-the-ground-up overhaul of the legendary dynamic belt balancer mod, built exclusively for extreme throughput and zero-UPS-impact in Factorio 2.0!

The Space Age Overhaul

The entire Lua backend math engine has been gutted and rewritten. Say goodbye to the massive RAM leaks and $O(N*M)$ stuttering loops of older balancer mods. This engine processes belts natively in $O(1)$ batch time, allowing you to seamlessly weave 240+ items/sec through Turbo Belts without dropping a single frame.

New Routing Mechanics

You can now configure complex logic for every single output lane independently using the native dragging GUI: * Fractional Ratios: Instead of simple splitters, you can route exact N:M fractions across your factory lines using custom Weight sliders! * Quality Filtering: Siphon off Normal, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, or Legendary items exclusively to dedicated output lanes! * Gleba Spoilage Routing: Force the balancer to act as an automated trash-sorter by dumping compost (items >90% spoiled) directly onto specified priority trash lanes! * Smart UI Integration: Alt-mode overlays naturally blend into the environment with custom game-fonts, without cluttering the screen when you're not actively configuring.

How to Use

1. Place the Balancer entity down and connect belts to the inputs and outputs.
2. Shift + Left Click on the Balancer to open the Advanced Routing Configuration GUI.
3. Check the (Priority) boxes to force the balancer to drain specific inputs first, or feed specific outputs first.
4. Adjust the Weight Ratios and Quality Filters to perfectly tune your output logistics.

Compatibility

Fully compatible with Space Age, all modern modded loaders, and complex multi-belt weaves. Existing saves with legacy balancers will automatically migrate to the new lightning-fast engine upon loading!

Special Thanks & Credits

While we have completely gutted and rewritten the core math engine to support Factorio 2.0 and eliminate UPS bottlenecks, this project was built standing on the shoulders of giants. A massive thank you to NightPablo, Soundwave, and the authors of previous iterations of the Belt Balancer mods. Their original scaffolding and entity tracking made this massive overhaul possible!
