Is there any statistical evidence about how much the current speed of a belt (yellow vs red vs blue) affects game performance? I kind of doubt that the speed as such is a major performance drain. the way it sounded to me, the belts would be extremely optimized (50-100x) in areas with few to no gaps...

A suitable implementation.

I'd like to see implemented a command that disables/enables chunk generation. This is mainly because I've seen several servers get shut down for running over the assigned memory limit for a hosted server. I would say its maybe easier to just limit the map, But it still wouldn't solve the problem, a...

... I'm definetly not going to complain if we can get on_resolution_changed and player.resolution :D. It's still far superior than asking the player to manually add mod settings... (i kinda suspected relative size would be to time consuming to integrate now) I'm not gonna complain either. I'll prob...

I'd like to get implemented a way to pull information on a players screen size to make it possible to adjust a large dialog to the players screen without the player having to input the resolution themselves.

It'd also require an event to handle resolution changes in order to resize the dialog.

I guess my next question is parse[v] evaluated as a value then?

I was under the impression that variable assignment was pass by reference for tables. However, I'm finding an issue with the following: parse["1"]["inner"]["1"] = some_number works properly, but the code as handled by a for loop: local values = ... for _,v in ipairs(val...

Maps with at least one limit to height or width can still have chunks generated outside of those boundries when using force.chart. reproduction steps: 1. make a map with 1x1 boundry 2. run this command: /c local dist = 16384; local x = 0; local y = 0; game.player.force.chart(game.player.surface,{lef...

Confirmed: each chest had 2k belts.

I have added pollution simulation after finding it has a negligible impact on simulation performance.

I think it should perhaps have an option to output directly onto a belt in a compressed form, to make up for the fact that there are far fewer chests etc to do so I'm kind of expecting players to either directly unload from and onto trains, or to use a loader unlocker mod. but I think pollution imp...

I don't believe the two are related. The other looks like a race around condition in the combinator logic and not a bug.

I found a train that would reliably cause this weird loop with starting and stopping. I found it to be because it was very close, but not at the signal it was near.

This isn't a bug. The number on the map is resources 'in the ground', not what you might pull out of it with productivity.

Added for the next version of 0.15.

Thank you!

Placing certain modules in an entity is controlled by the "allowed_effects" tag (I think that's what it's called), specifying no effects would prevent any module from being fitted. I'm fairly sure this also prevents the effect being received from a transmitter. However, I think mining dri...

I'm trying to make a mod with custom mining drills that lack module slots and cannot receive beacon effects. Unfortunately there's no way (that I know of) to prevent effects from being received at the moment. I'd like to have a method added to accomplish this.
