Factorio 2.0 Space Age: Belt Speeds, Smelting Ratios & Assembler Balancers
Eliminate factory bottlenecks across Nauvis, Vulcanus, Fulgora, and Gleba. Calculate exact items-per-second throughput across Yellow (15/s), Red (30/s), Blue (45/s), and Green (60/s) conveyor belts, with perfect smelting furnace and circuit ratios.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions (Factorio 2.0 Space Age)
How many items per second do belts move in Factorio 2.0?
In Factorio 2.0, standard conveyor belt speeds are: Yellow = 15 items/sec (900/min), Red = 30 items/sec (1,800/min), Blue = 45 items/sec (2,700/min), and new Space Age Green belts = 60 items/sec (3,600/min).
How many steel furnaces are needed to fill a blue belt in Factorio?
Smelting iron or copper ore in a Steel or Electric Furnace takes 3.2 seconds base (smelting speed 2.0 = 1.6s per plate). To produce 45 plates/second for a full blue belt, you need exactly 72 Steel or Electric Furnaces (arranged 36 on each side of the belt).
