Automatic Belt Throughput Selection Option #1519

Open Pepciorek opened 2 hours ago

Right now you can select belt tier by hand or for all processes, like that: image (also applies to DSP and Factorio)

I think it would be nice if belt tier could be chosed automatically based on throughput needed, something like that: image

I could be nice as a toggle in settings or something

This is a neat idea. Kind of an 'auto' setting where it picks the fastest belt needed to only use one belt? Would work similar to the algorithm that picks what inserter to use for the Machine tab in step details.

You might even want a separate setting that defines how many belts you want to minimize to, so you could try to only use a half belt or two belts
