Re: Alternative to Inserters - Direct Resource Intake Gate

Moved to Outdated/Not implemented. You want something like this: https://www.factorio.com/blog/post/fff-128 (scroll down to "Loader") It acts like an inserter (in regard to where it takes stuff from and where it puts it), but is able to transport items as fast as transport belts can handl...

Re: [0.15.35] Crashes and bad perf previewing/working larger BPs

I tested it and it did not crash, but used up to 10.1 GB of RAM on that map. It probably crashes if you have less, but that's not (directly) Factorio's fault. It's not related to mods either - all my analysis was done on vanilla. The performance was very, very low while handling the 1024-belt-balanc...

Re: 'Configuration file has invalid contents'

This is a config file from 0.14 and you're trying to load it in 0.15. From the 0.15.0 changelog: Configuration Configuration has been reset. Since 0.15 Factorio checks if the first line is ; version=2 If it's not, then the config is invalid and has to be regenerated. You can workaround this by addin...

Re: Staff work times

Well as far as I have seen the core dev team and all moderators are European (I don't know about Loewchen, but the name sounds German). So the largest time difference would be 2 hours I think. But there are remote devs from the US too, this is where the real time difference knocks in. All moderator...

Re: 4K FPS is really poor

Can you post your log? The log file might also help us, it details your system configuration, Factorio graphics settings and mods used. The log file is still missing. Do you also have these issues when playing purely vanilla without any mods? EDIT: Is the 4K screen the only monitor you have plugged...

Re: 4K FPS is really poor

Do you play with high resolution graphics enabled? I think Factorio sets that as default if you have >= 2GB VRAM and >= 8GB RAM, I'm not sure though if that also applies if you play with mods. Try setting the sprite resolution to normal if it isn't already. If it's a VRAM issue then changing the vid...

Re: Staff work times

I can't speak for the staff (Factorio/Wube employees) or other moderators, but for me personally: I started moderating the forums 2 years ago because at that time there were a lot of bots/spammers around. It also helped that I was in-between jobs at that time and had a lot of free time and frequentl...

Re: crash on start

The current version is 0.15.34, in the Factorio Betas dropdown choose NONE or 0.15.x to update to it. If you never entered any beta you should already be at 0.15.34.

Please post your Log file (factorio-current.log), it should be in your home folder in the ~/.factorio directory.
