The Palette displays all parts available in Factory I/O. When creating a scene, you drag parts from the Palette into the 3D space. Select a category from the drop-down list to show only parts which belong to that category. You can filter parts by name using the Search input field.
Displays information about the current state of Factory I/O: current version, edition, scene name and selected driver.
The low-performance indicator pops up when Factory I/O is unable to update the simulation above 15 frames per second. This may cause undesirable visual hiccups and errors in the physics simulation.
You can try to improve performance by:
Lowering the screen resolution (Options > Video)
Reducing the video quality (Options > Video)
Disabling V-Sync (Options > Video)
Decreasing the number of parts in the scene by deleting unused parts
