I like the idea in principle, but the randomness of the quality seems contradictory to the nature of engineering. IRL, Nobody would tolerate building a car, which randomly attains the desired quality, and subsequently recycling multiple runs of it until it comes out perfect by chance. Hilariously, ...

Maybe if machine produced something for a really long time it could start producing higher quality products instead? For example after 10000 solar panels produced in single assembler its quality tier would go up. Maybe progress for this should be also logarithmic with some additional minimal player...

More factorio-like names would be good. Epic, legendary and the colors feel cookie-cutter. They kind of devalue the respectability of the game--the intuitive controls, the code that is frequently bugfixed, the attention to detail, the developers integrated with the player base, the enjoyment that sp...

Oh, also, since fff will be coming back, don't forget that data of engine improvements are always appreciated and enjoyed. Rseding91, looking at you for some "I found XYZ could be sped up by 1.5x, but that also meant it automatically made ABC 2x faster, which meant DEF could be rewritten as wel...

Those flames from the engines look AWESOME. Give that person a raise!

I love getting the explanations!

I used amd's free software for a 4gig ramdisk on Win10 a few weeks ago. I made a symlink for the factorio temp directory. It saved the download to ramdisk, I connected to the server, and played, all without a hitch.

Flickers "working" pulling from a wire chest, too, on the top left assembling machine for 3 or 4 ticks on the return swing, before coming to a stop. I don't think it's consistent (it was after every 8th 180degree rotation at one point before I tinkered with it, but maybe that was another a...

Here's a good blueprint, possibly with more info to look into. The iron inserters flicker after every other run (don't flicker when there's excess iron). The wire inserters flicker after every run (there's never excess wire). 0eNrNV9uOmzAQ/Rc/wwqba/iVKkLGTLJWwSDbVJtG/HuNya27pLWpKiVPAZNzZs6cmSFnVLcjD...

Well, it seems like it's mostly unrelated to belts, and is a mathematical/computation problem of the assembling machine, instead. It seems complicated, to me, because I can't perfectly narrow it down without being able to see data in plain-English that I want to see (like the formulas and variables ...

Ahh, I gotcha.

Explaining all of that, especially the sleep/wake and merging of other belts, is interesting and really helpful to better understand the mechanics. Thanks!

I'm not sure if this is just a UI anomaly or a potential performance issue to be improved, so I'm asking here instead of posting in bugs yet. Is this behavior to be expected, and I've just never noticed it? At normal speed, it flickers very fast. Ran the game at 0.05 speed so that it can be seen: ht...

Bump.

Is there any chance of reconsideration for this problem?

Again, I'm not stating the obvious of "there are 400 logistics items pushed off screen, please show them".
I'm asking for the relevant information to merely be reordered so that it's visible.

Thanks for the explanation. It's always interesting stuff to read!

When I play Minecraft with friends we don't usually have someone host the game to lan or wpn through the client, we instead run a dedicated server on a separate computer. (We play with the Java edition.) This is so that anyone can quit the game early and the others would not be affected, since the ...

Thanks for sharing all of that, and the timeline of events! What about hosting some switch games, like you announced multiplayer games, to try and iron out some last-minute desyncs/crashes/whatever? Host some games on your switch so it'll create desync reports, have some other Wube players join as w...

Thanks for the report. I saw these crash logs in the automatic crash reports and fixed it yesterday. The fix will be out in the next 1.1 release. I know it's probably too short of notice, but I was just texting a friend about certain things I appreciate about Factorio and its development and it mad...

Too bad, I was hoping this report would be one of those "Thanks for the report, it's fixed. It turns out that this really rare and interesting thing happens because..."

With 1.2, please make this very simple update.

It would look so much more "with the times", and just plain look a lot better.

I was going to experiment more with the threads performance I noticed before and found "no threads to run the job" and encountered a crash when setting it to 1 thread. It only occurs if you load the game with 2 or more threads, then set it to 1. If you load the game with 1, set it to anyth...
