Forwarding a reply by Rseding just FYI on this topic: the engine skips charting if a force has no players, which explains why on my single player tests all those entities didnt chart any:

The chunks are still marked as to-be-charted but the actual chart is not scanned if there are no players on ...

I'm attaching a save of Factorio v2.0.35 with the test example of this, as well as a screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/pQaTfqd

Hello, I have a few questions about shared charts and built-in radar behaviors in 2.0.

My issue is: when dealing with multiple forces, that have LuaForce::share_chart set to true, some entities share their charting area, while others dont. Here's my tests.

Case A : same force.

- These entities ...

One possible improvement would be adding a build_check_type to create_entity which would allow you to merge the can_place_entity and create_entity calls. This would roughly half the cost because can_place_entity internally does *almost* the same thing as create_entity, but it then throws it all ...

Alright, thanks for taking the time to check and profile it

Like I could check for can_place before adding the new entity data to the array, and then just pass the array to the API.

The check for `can_create` can be removed with another code example and in any application where I already know I can (or must force to) place the entity. Main question is if an hypothetical

surface.create_entities(entities)

would save any non-irrelevant amount of time compared to


for ...

Sure. Here's a simple code to reproduce what a scenario normally does to create a custom map:

Hello,

I would like to ask if adding these APIs would actually benefit game performance by reducing the number of API calls from mods:

LuaSurface::create_entity --> LuaSurface::create_entities
LuaSurface:set_tiles --> LuaSurface::set_hidden_tiles, LuaSurface::set_double_hidden_tiles

Yup, sorry.

I got misled by "get_recipe(): Can only be used if this is CraftingMachine" and "previous_recipe: Can only be used if this is Furnace" and assumed it wasnt derived to child class.

Topic is already solved, thanks!

Hi,
I've encountered this issue with my mod Factory Efficiency Tracker (https://mods.factorio.com/mod/factory-efficiency-tracker).

When reading an entity's recipe, there's "get_recipe()" if type is "crafting-machine" and "previous_recipe" if type is "furnace".

However, a furnace starting crafting ...

Other said they may have been holding bricks

One of them said he could have been holding an offshore pump from map view (maybe a ghost of an offshore pump)

Hello,

I'm hosting a multiplayer game on a dedicated server, map has been running for 50-60 hours already with no issues so far.
This morning I had 2 regular players of the server crash to desktop just when rejoining the game. The game crashed only on their side, in those 2 separate occasions ...

Issue:

- player CANNOT place landfill tiles on top of "water-shallow" or "water-mud" tiles
- it CAN place landfill on top of regular water, deep water, green water...

I checked with 1.1, and confirmed that in 1.1 it was instead possible to landfill shallow/mud water tiles.

Hi, here's a bug I think I found when using different forces.

Issue: when merging forces, spaceship hubs don't account for connected cargo bays increasing their inventory size for a split second, resulting in inventories being trimmed and items lost during the process.

Expected behavior: account ...

Closing this thread as the issue got solve on discord: planet was not unlocked for the force's locations, so their own planet was not listed in the UI.

Thanks Bilka!

Ok, I received another save with same bug: cannot create a space platform linked to their planet, only on nauvis. Im gonna link the othe save as well.

Hello,
I received this save from an user playing one of my mods that lets you start on different planets.

Issue is: creating a space platform with the UI button does not let you create a space platform attached to your current planet, but always create a space platform attached to `Nauvis`.

i.e ...

Allright thanks. Might be me using still the standalone from beta instead of the steam release. Consider this closed then. Thanks
