It seems that ghost build outside of the player range is no longer possible.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Take Belt in your hand.
2. Hold shift,
3. click next to your character,
4. drag mouse outside of the player range. It will stop at the boundary of the player building range.

Hope this helps.

Ok, I give up. I just wanted to state a different type of memory/bandwidth optimization and therefore performance optimization. In my original post I did not feel it necessary to point out, that a structure of arrays is the most natural choice and after the "quick and dirty fix" has confir...

@pleegwat, yes sure an Structure of Arrays is the more natural choice. But as a hack to see how it changes the memory it was quite effective.

I did not read through the whole thread so this might have been raised already. If you look into the memory optimization of structures, then you should also look at the padding bytes. E.g.: struct Item {double a; int b; }; sizeof(Item) == 16 The size of the data of item is 12 byte and the size of th...

Ok now there are also windows binaries included at: https://github.com/MaxSagebaum/FactorioViewer/releases/tag/v0.2.1 in binaries/win32 (Visual Studio Express lets you only build 32 bit binaries) If you get an error like "could not load vcruntime140.dill" you have to install the c++ redist...

Hello @ all, I was always manually calculating the required fabs for a certain amount of units I want to produce per minute. Because I don't like Excel sheets and wanted to have a quick response I programmed a small comand line utility. You can download it at github https://github.com/MaxSagebaum/Fa...
