Any way to find where your somersloops are used in your factory?

There's a purple glow around the power pole on machines, but that only shows when the machine is running!

Point at them in dismantle mode and see if one shows up. Otherwise only the purple glow and weird thrumming sound when they're running.

Only thing I know they're for is that Alien Power thing. Which gives you 10% more of your power or something. Quite useful really.

You can use them in production machines to double the yield.

I use a side-effect of a deletion tool, in a map editor, to find them. I don't know if there's a better way. ***Beware that the map is full of spoilers for hard drives and node locations. These will be visible by default. You can click "UNSELECT ALL LAYERS" on the right side to hide them.***

1. Upload to SCIM[satisfactory-calculator.com].
   
2. Select a region, with one of the selection tools on the left of the map.
   
3. "Delete selected items" -> Submit
   
4. "YES" to "Do you want a doggy bag ... ?" This gives loot crates.
   
5. Find player on map, look in tooltips of loot crates.

You can also look at tooltips of machines to see if they have one. This is all very sloppy but it's better than nothing. Obviously don't download & use the map after deleting tons of things.

I've gotten in habit of labeling boosters used on map icons.

For any given factory or cluster of mini factories, I put down a map marker. If a somersloop is being used there, I color the marker orange. All others are generic default white.

This way I can tell at a glance on entire map where my a) clusters of manufacturing are, and b) which have somersloops used.

If somersloops ever get so plentiful they become the new slugs (e.g. basically so many other than very early game, no point keeping track where overclock shards are used), then I may revise or stop using this system.

But atm it's handy because I run around re-using my limited supply for whatever stuff needed most.

+1 for this
