Description

Got a MEGA factory and struggling to tell which machines are actually running at 100% efficiency, because all lights are just green? Tired of opening every machine’s UI just to check production rates? This mod solves that problem.

It lets you customize the color of the machine indicator light when a machine is operating at 100% efficiency. Machines such as Constructors, Refineries, Manufacturer, even Alien Power Augmenter, and Miners. The color is chosen using Satisfactory's built-in color picker (the same style used for signs, Hue/Saturation/brightness).
Note: Presets are not currently supported.

The video below demonstrates on how the mod works.

Frequently Asked Questions

Efficiency Light Indicator(ELI) not working after update – what to do?

After a Satisfactory update, mods need to be updated. Check ficsit.app whether Efficiency Light Indicator(ELI) has been updated for the new game version. With Mado Hosting: open the mod manager and click "Update All". If the mod hasn't been updated yet, temporarily remove it so the server starts.

Efficiency Light Indicator(ELI) causing crashes in multiplayer – solution

Most common cause: all players must have exactly the same mod version installed. Check server logs for "ModMismatch" or "Version Conflict". Ensure all players use Efficiency Light Indicator(ELI) v1.1.0 and the same SML. With Mado Hosting, Satisfactory servers run with 6 GB RAM for stable multiplayer performance.

Is Efficiency Light Indicator(ELI) compatible with other Satisfactory mods?

Efficiency Light Indicator(ELI) uses the Satisfactory Mod Loader (SML). Generally, SML-based mods are cross-compatible, but mods modifying the same game systems can cause conflicts. Test new mod combinations on a backup save. The Mado dashboard automatically detects known conflicts and warns you.
