@StrangePan, I owe you one! You asked exactly the right questions.

I have good news and bad news. The good news is that the root cause does not seem to involve Factorio.

The bad news is that my external SSD might be dying.

I moved Factorio to my internal SSD, which took a very long time, which ...

Hi Bilka and StrangePan,

Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately, they did not fix the issue.


Not an expert at Mac/graphics at all, but "Initial atlas bitmap size is 4096" looks suspicious in the slow logs, try setting it (max-texture-size) higher, like 16384. It may be helpful to just load ...

Unfortunately, on my desktop Mac, the loading time of the game is very long, something I don't recall from the past.

I'll report ...

But I love those minimaps. The only quality-of-life feature I sorely miss is that only single minimaps have a "Open this location in the map ...

FAN-TAS-TIC!

Now if you add an option to replant trees, I'm fully satisfied.

I know, in this game, trees are (almost) useless. But when I first played it, it felt really wrong destroying all these trees. And if -back than- I knew of an option to replant them, I would be less hesitant.

I always ...
