Beacon Overload

Beacon Overload
Beacon Overload is an overhaul of Beacon mechanics in Factorio. Crafting machines can only be affected by 1 beacon, if affected by more beacons they overload and pause production.

The overhaul compensates by allowing more modules in beacons as well as promotes use of more powerful Modules in both beacons and assemblies for maximum bonuses. The change also promotes players to design wide range of factory builds.Basic Beacon is overall weaker Vanilla counterpart. Starting from Wide Area Beacon players can experience substantial amount in module savings as well as freedom to create complex design revolving larger buildings or with multiple fluid or material input.

Machines affected by more than one beacon will be marked with Beacon Overload icon and pause all production. They will still continue to consume minimal power in the process. The system is required and can not be turned off.
