About Train bottleneck
From Factorio Mod PortalKeep track of where your trains travel the most
Train bottlenecks
Displays the throughput density over tracks by measuring how many trains cross that track in a certain timeframe.
This mod is in early development stage, therefore can be unstable.
Released versions are tested and should functionally work.
Known issues
- Maps with a lot of surfaces and/or a lot of trains may cause lag
- Rendering the overlay multiple times may cause lag

Known issues
- Currently not available for multiplayer; Some mod settings are not multiplayer compatible
Roadmap
- Maybe to 2.0
- Update trail graphics to connect properly
- Improve visualization to indicate stopped train waiting time in block (currently only in segment)
- Optimize performance by throttling updates per tick in order to prevent lag
- Add option to choose vizualization time to live
- Idea: Graph with throughput in past timeframe for selected area
- Idea: GUI with top X bottlenecks & pareto graph with average train stopped waiting time
- Idea: Track average waiting time at stations
