Production & Consumption Panel

Overview

The Production & Consumption panel shows per-item production and consumption rates across your entire factory, sourced from the FRM getProdStats endpoint. It updates every 30 seconds and helps identify production bottlenecks and resource imbalances.

This panel requires the FRM mod. See Installing FRM.

Panel Fields

Each row represents one item type (e.g., Iron Ingot, Copper Wire, Circuit Board):

Field	Description
item_name	Human-readable item name (e.g., “Iron Plate”)
item_class_name	Game class identifier (e.g., Desc_IronPlate_C)
item_type	Type of item: item, fluid, or gas
current_prod	Current production rate (items/min)
max_prod	Maximum possible production rate if all machines ran at 100%
current_consumed	Current consumption rate (items/min)
max_consumed	Maximum possible consumption rate
prod_percent	Production efficiency (current_prod / max_prod × 100)
cons_percent	Consumption efficiency (current_consumed / max_consumed × 100)

Reading Production Balance

The key insight from this panel is whether production is keeping up with consumption:

Healthy item (surplus production):

item_name:       "Iron Ingot"
current_prod:    900 items/min
current_consumed: 720 items/min
prod_percent:    100%  ← all smelters running at full speed
cons_percent:    80%   ← consumers are slightly underutilized

Bottleneck (production deficit):

item_name:       "Copper Wire"
current_prod:    200 items/min
current_consumed: 350 items/min  ← consuming more than produced
prod_percent:    100%  ← constructors running at max
cons_percent:    57%   ← downstream machines are starved

When current_consumed > current_prod, items are being consumed faster than produced. Downstream machines will stall when input buffers are empty.

Efficiency Percentages

prod_percent — Production Efficiency

current_prod / max_prod × 100

• 100%: all production machines are running at full speed
• < 100%: some machines are idle, paused, or power-starved
• Machines overclock using Power Shards may push current_prod above max_prod (efficiency > 100%)

cons_percent — Consumption Efficiency

current_consumed / max_consumed × 100

• 100%: all consuming machines are running at full demand
• < 100%: consuming machines are idle or starved (input depleted)

Sorting and Filtering

The panel allows sorting by:

• Item name (alphabetical)
• Production rate (highest first)
• Balance (current_prod − current_consumed, useful for finding deficits)
• Efficiency percentage

Filter to show only items where production < consumption to quickly find bottlenecks.

---

Fluid and Gas Items

Items with item_type: "fluid" (e.g., Water, Crude Oil, Fuel) and item_type: "gas" (e.g., Nitrogen Gas) display rates in m³/min rather than items/min. The same production balance analysis applies.

Historical Charts

Production metrics are stored as a TimescaleDB time-series, allowing historical views of how your factory’s output has changed over time (within your plan’s retention period).
