Satisfactory Conveyor Throughput
GamesEverything runs locally in your browser — nothing is uploaded
From the belt tier (Mk.1 at 60/min through Mk.6 at 1200/min), the machine count and the output per machine, work out total throughput, belts needed, belt utilisation and the bottleneck. Two things to hold on to: the unit is items per minute, not per second; and while parallel belts add up, a split point still chokes a single belt — one machine feeding a Mk.1 belt makes that belt the bottleneck no matter how many you merge downstream.
Features
- Belt tiers Mk.1 60 through Mk.6 1200 (per min)
- Machines × output per machine = total production
- Belts needed (rounded up)
- Belt utilisation and where the bottleneck is
- An optional sorter tier (Mk.1 60, Mk.2 120 and so on)
- Parallel belts add their capacity together
How to use
- Pick the belt tier and the sorter tier
- Fill in machines, output per machine and belt count
- Or write one machine count per line to run separate cases
- Read the bottleneck row to decide what to upgrade
FAQ
- Is the rate per minute or per second?
- Per minute (items/min). Mk.1 is 60/min — one per second — and Mk.5 is 780/min. Reading it as per second shrinks demand sixtyfold, and both 60 and 1 look plausible, so nothing jumps out.
- Do parallel belts guarantee the throughput?
- Not always. Parallel belts add up (`belts × rate per belt`), but what actually chokes production is a split point: if one machine feeds a low-tier belt, that belt is the bottleneck and merging more belts downstream does not help. So the result gives both the total and the bottleneck.
- Where does the sorter fit?
- The sorter (at the tier you choose) sits in series with the belts, so the effective throughput is the minimum of three: machine output, total belt capacity and sorter capacity. A sorter below the belt tier becomes the bottleneck.
