Thanks for the report however once the tick has overflowed the save is broken. We have no plans to try to rescue saves that have gone over the tick limit because the game is simply not designed to do that.
No worries, thought you might say that.

Re: UPS Optimization - Red Science (editor)

I remember looking closely at those monolithic 1K SPM blocks from smurphy1 and fallenghostplayer a while back, and they are impressive feats of engineering. But pretty much immediately my mind wanders to, "how would I even begin to provide 65K+ iron ore per minute to all the conveniently place...

Re: UPS Optimization - Red Science (editor)

The one thing that bothered me a bit about these tests was allowing for arbitrary ore patch placement via the editor. I get that it was done to allow for end-to-end DI builds. It's a good way to learn more about optimizing production performance, but obviously there are a lot of other unavoidable r...

Offsetting saves a lot of beacons that reduces electric update significantly.

Re: 1000spm ... in TradeRouteOverhaul

Nicely done, I am a big fan of this little mod, also good to see its been updated for 1.1 last time I looked it was out of date.

Making 1K base for this mod has been on my todo list for a while, but you beat me too it!!!!

You can fix the state by stopping and starting effected trains. Put all stationary trains into manual /c for _,ent in pairs (game.player.force.get_trains()) do if ent.speed == 0 then ent.manual_mode = true end end Put all manual_mode trains into auto. /c for _,ent in pairs (game.player.force.get_tra...

[1.1.6] Biters attacking rails

What did you do? Been playing a bit of vanilla MP lately on AssemblyStorms weekly server. I have noticed that the biters are attacking rails often in a way that I haven't seen before. What happened? I built a new arty outpost (see attached pictures) and a few minutes after it started up a group of b...

Re: Thanks for all the fish! (Cave spoiler Spidertron)

From my testing: You get 1 fish/ science pack. If you "autolaunch with cargo" to automate production of fish, then you only get 12 (or whatever a single inserter can deliver) science packs inserted since the rocket doesn't wait for more to be delivered. :( Would be nice if it waited for i...

If you want to see more of my rail designs then you can see them in my rail10K rail megabase very sweet stuff, for sure. What kind of SPM / UPS and on what hardware are you seeing/utilizing with that map? Its 10K spm and does 50 UPS on my laptop (i7-7700hq 2x8GB 2666mhz ram) can do 60 UPS on a dece...

Re: Why trains? (UPS focus)

<snip> With a train setup you can get an 8 beacon arrangement with 2 less inserters than the equivalent belt based arrangement. How? I have already said machine -> belt -> train -> belt -> machine is BAD. So it basically comes down to a choice between belts or trains (not both) these are the best d...

Re: Why trains? (UPS focus)

I suspect (but haven't tested) that inserters grabbing items from belts is significantly more expensive in cpu cycles than picking up items from a chest/wagon/assembler. Hence a well designed train base is likely to be more cpu efficient than a belt base. Inserters picking up of belts are worse (up...

Re: Why trains? (UPS focus)

It seems to me that if you just did all belts directly from miner -> furnace -> assemblers -> labs, you could avoid a lot of unnecessary inserters. Your conclusion is correct, in fact using machine -> belt -> train -> belt -> machine is one of the worst design patterns for a megabase (upswise) but ...

Re: Train based direct insertion challenge

DI train builds are currently my favourite factories to design, they can be really UPS efficient and they provide a different challenge to belt based factories. 3. No chests. The only storage capacity is what is being carried on the train. *** This restriction is probably going to hurt you a lot, to...
