Re: [Oxyd] [1.1.35] Linux - Lower FPS on Steam version than on non Steam version

If so, looks like a prime-offload issue, and needs to be reported elsewhere. The feature is supposed to be transparent to the apps so even if Factorio is "responsible" this shouldn't be its problem. Can't do any testing myself since my dGPU doesn't have prime-offload-compatible drivers, I ...

Re: [Oxyd] [1.1.35] Linux - Lower FPS on Steam version than on non Steam version

I finally downloaded standalone Factorio for Linux and tested performance. The ways of running Factorio that I tested: - Standalone - Standalone through Steam: runtime and overlay disabled, LD_PRELOAD and LD_LIBRARY_PATH force-unset - Standalone through Steam: runtime and overlay enabled - Steam: ru...

Re: [1.1.38] Cut preview highlights unaffected entities

If this is the case then it might be related to the fix for this bug: 98344 Actually, I suspect Shift-cut has cosmetic effect only because copy tool isn't affected. Just checked, it did start in 1.1.36 where 98344 was fixed (And lost my whole blueprint library by downgrading. Oops. And realized too...

[Tobias] [1.1.38] Cut preview highlights unaffected entities

Cut tool preview highlights and counts unaffected entities.
That includes trees, rocks, cliffs and fish.

Re: [Oxyd] [1.1.35] Linux - Lower FPS on Steam version than on non Steam version

Steam on Linux has one huge bug/feature, called Steam Runtime . https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Steam/Troubleshooting#Steam_runtime It is a feature, because it (usually) lets you ignore library dependencies of your games and just play them. It is a bug, because most of the time it degrades performa...

Re: "Turrets engaed" icons hide "Entity damaged/destroyed" on map

Sorry for my lag, my forum notifications were broken. They are simply shown in the order they're created. Either that isn't quite the case, or the "Engaged" notifications get re-created over and over again, giving no chance to the destruction notifications. And in the tray, these notificat...

UPS gets throttled down to FPS

What am I doing? Just paying the game with a large enough factory. No mods, pure Vanilla. To exclude "Your Linux setup sucks" possibility test results are from Windows. What happens? The game throttles down UPS to match the FPS it can pump out when graphics can't keep up. FPS and UPS are ...

Script to speed up Steam Cloud sync by excluding autosaves

Note: I am running Linux so all this is for Linux. But I believe on Windows Steam Cloud behaves the same and the script can be rewritten for cmd/powershell. Ever had to wait for what felt like eternity for Steam to finish syncing your saves, after closing game or, even worse, before starting it? Th...

Re: Add simple train stop priorities on top of 1.1 train limit system.

My thoughts on the subject: 1. Destination priorities I suspect that, in most cases, prioritizing train stops with largest "train shortage" (limit minus reservations) is sufficient. Unlimited stations have lowest priority. "Time till buffer empty" might be better, which should be...

Re: Redo functionality

My reasons to want a "Redo" option: 1. I often habitually try to undo text edits, which results in in-world undo. 2. More rarely I try to undo other things in UIs, to the same effect. 3. Some edits are not recorded for undo, e.g. entity config changes, manually edited wires, and usually ro...

Same here, happened dozens of times to me. Stopped counting occurences when robots started showing on map, as it is now easier to detect. Possible solutions, as I see it: 1. Stop cliffs changing hitboxes upon neighbor changes, if possible. 2. Pre-compute final hitbox and order wider deconstruction i...

"One-shot" mode for trains

TL;DR Ever wanted to send a train somewhere and make it stop there without babysitting the GUI? Or maybe you are tired of having to open its GUI and clicking that tiny switch to "manual" after every trip? Why not add an option to automatically switch to "manual" at next stop? Wh...

Re: wanted: keyboard shortcut to toggle train manual/automatic

I think that F or C can be used for that hotkey. Both of them are close to V and G that are also used for trains. You normally don't shoot when inside a train, so C should be fine. F is now used to flip blueprints, but so is G, I don't think it is a problem.

The train overview part is fixed in the new (awesome!) trains GUI. Path penalty for empty-schedule train is now 7000 (like empty manual train), so no more deadlocks either. However, the other inconveniences for the "personal train" usecase remain: Train remains in "auto" after ar...

+1 for that. I currently have an "Unnatural deconstruction" planner that removes all my stuff and doesn't touch the environment, and I had to individually add every single tree to it, in addition to the few rocks, cliffs and fish. It does not have to be "items" in the normal tabs...

current behavior is needed especially for players who don't yet have robots or don't realize they are placing ghost accidentally. Then make it an option, just like "Pick ghost item if no items are available". Actually, I suspect all the ghost-related options can be enabled with a single c...
