RateMonitor

Rate Monitor

Rate Monitor is a Dyson Sphere Program mod inspired by Rate Calculator from Factorio. It lets you select machines in an area (using Alt + X) to calculate their input/output rates, track working ratios, and discover why some machines may not be running at full capacity.

This is pure info mod and does not affect achievements.

By pressing Alt +

This module is inspired by Factorio's Rate Calculator. It is a purely informational module and will not affect achievements.

Key Features

• Area Selection (Alt + X)
• Drag a box around production or mining facilities, matrix labs, ray receivers, and more.
• Once selected, a GUI window shows production and consumption rates, plus a real-time working ratio.
• If you’re in space or map view, pressing Alt + X will reopen the last selection’s data.

• Production/Consumption Overview
• Quickly see net rates (production minus consumption) for raw materials, intermediate goods, and final products.
• Shows both theoretical maximum rates and adjusted rates based on actual machine efficiency.
• Identify bottlenecks: find which resources are in deficit and why certain machines aren’t operating at 100%.

• Recipe & Machine Details
• Click an item icon to “focus” on it, filtering the data to show only recipes that produce or consume that item.
• Click a building icon to expand its recipe details, revealing each machine’s status and reasons for underperformance.
• Toggle 'Detail' to view the recorded idle reasons and navigate to the machine location via the button.

• Area selection (Alt + X)
• Frame-select manufacturing equipment, mining equipment, matrix research stations, ray receiving stations, Dyson sphere facilities, etc.
• After selecting the box, a data window will pop up, showing real-time output and consumption rates, as well as the work ratio of various machines.
• If you are in space or planet view, pressing Alt + X will reopen the last box selection.
• You can select all buildings on the local/foreign planet in the operation panel

• Overview of output/consumption
• Quickly view the net yield (output - consumption) of raw materials, intermediate products, and final products.
• Simultaneously display the theoretical maximum production capacity and the estimated production capacity under actual operating efficiency.
• Identify bottlenecks: Find out which projects are under-resourced and which machines are not running at full capacity.

• Recipe and machine details
• Click on the item icon to "focus" on the item, showing only the production and consumption entries related to it.
• Click the building icon to expand the recipe details and view the status of the specific machine and the reason why it is not at full capacity.
• Click "View Details" to view the recorded standby reasons and quickly navigate to the machine location with the buttons.

Area Selection Tool Area Selection Tool

Area select machines with Alt + X. Support machine types:

• production facility (assembler, smlter, fractionator, etc)
• mining facility (mining machine, water pump, oil extractor)
• matrix lab
• energy exchanger, ray receiver, fuel generator
• ejector, silo
• spray coater

Alt + X selects buildings in an area. Supported building types are:

• Production buildings (manufacturing benches, furnaces, fractionation towers, etc.)
• Collection buildings (mining machines, large mining machines, pumping stations, etc.)
• Research station (production mode & scientific research mode)
• Electrical facilities that produce/consume items (energy hubs, ray receiving stations, fuel power generation)
• Dyson sphere facilities (electromagnetic catapult, vertical launch silo)
• Sprayer

After selection done, a gui window will appear. When in space, hotkey Alt + X will open the window with the last selection.

When the window is open, Ctrl+right click can continue to add selected buildings (repeatable), and Shift+right click can remove selected buildings.
