Perfect! Thank you for the fix!

(I agree that it is silly to set the value to 1, and thus the performance-issue seems not terribly important)

ok, it took me a while to reproduce (which surprised me, because it reliably reproduced). But now I have a reliable reproduction. It is likely related to either map generation or charting. Specifically, when those activities are happening, and `/perf-avg-frames 1` has been run, then scrolling around...

What did you do? In a multiplayer game, I experimented with running "/perf-avg-frames 1" and "/perf-avg-frames 100" with a friend. What happened? When either of us ran "/perf-avg-frames 1", it impacted the other as well. This has two impacts: one is that the FPS/UPS cou...

Awesome! Thank you.

I can reproduce the same error message by waiting for the code to run (including choosing waypoints), and then use /editor to add a bunch of water on/near the waypoint.

Here is a save that will reproduce the issue (game.print is called with the coordinates of the stuck unit group when it happens).

ok, posted viewtopic.php?f=7&t=113935

I work on the Biter Battles scenario. This uses custom scenario code to spawn biter attack waves, have the waves travel to a waypoint, and then attack the player after going to that waypoint. We somewhat frequently have biter attack groups encounter a pathfinding error (defines.behavior_result.fail)...

oh, I intended to post this into Bug Reports instead of Modding help... my bad

Thanks for the continued insights! If you want an easy-to-reproduce case of this slowdown, we actually have a benchmark/performance testing framework that is currently demonstrating this behavior reliably. If you use ./benchmarking/run_benchmark.sh from https://github.com/Factorio-Biter-Battles/Fact...

The slow part comes from the cache being so large it has to go over each cached entry to see if one is valid to use. Thank you for this explanation! We are moving our settings to be closer to vanilla: https://github.com/Factorio-Biter-Battles/Factorio-Biter-Battles/pull/527 We will likely still str...

So it sounds like it could in fact be the pathfinder in some capacity, if the stickers are causing damage, and that damage is causing new path requests. While I agree that, in theory, this could be due to the changes that our scenario makes to the pathfinder settings, if you actually load this save ...

During a recent Biter Battles game, performance completely cratered for ~30 seconds at one point (everything went to ~10 UPS for a while, and all clients with slower computers were eventually dropped for inability to keep up). I grabbed a save in the middle of this: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1...

This is a general request of "allow mods to control/augment/filter chat messages" - and a possible proposal to do it via something like "game.do_not_print_broadcasted_chat_messages = true". This would then allow a scenario/mod to register an on_console_chat event handler, and man...

I want to +1 the general request of "allow mods to control/augment/filter chat messages" - I don't care too much about what the implementation is. In Biter Battles, we have three relevant forces, "north", "south", and "spectator". It is very helpful if we can ...

Awesome, thank you!

Specifically, if someone starts researching a technology, and then switches to a different one, I believe that it is no longer possible to tell how much progress has been made on the first technology via the Lua APIs. (because `LuaForce.research_progress` only tells you about the current research) I...

I just wanted to report that I have run in to this as well. I am a developer for the biter battles scenario, and it is slightly difficult/annoying for me to test it. Specifically, I wish that there was something that behaved the same as --start-server-load-scenario, but loaded the game with a GUI (i...

In BiterBattles, two forces ("north" and "south") compete with one another on the same surface. Additionally, there is a spectator force that is friendly to both forces that can watch the game. Members of the spectator force receive technology research notifications from both &qu...

I can brainstorm two possible solution shapes: One might be that, when generating a blueprint, detect if the source had all powerpoles in the same power network, and yet the generated blueprint has multiple networks, try and add connections to the generated blueprint that connect to the same network...
