Could we have items auto sorted inside vehicles like it happens in character inventory? Also in chests if possible. Having the same order of arrangement as in the character inventory would be a nice quality of life. Don't know if there's already a mod for that, if there is send link thanks

Not to brag about, but almost one year ago I suggested the feature "information at cursor"

Maybe Koub at that time only thought about the feature problems for himself, but as Kovarax said - "I started to realize that different people have ...

Your solution is not in the balancer that balances input but rather in coordinate better what goes into your chests of the unloading train. Keep them balanced and when thee chests unloads to a regular 8x8 balancer and all the output is used, your input should also been balanced.

I think logistic bots shouldn't carry heavy things like iron ore, iron plates, steel plates, tanks, locomotives... but they could carry light things, like green/red/blue chips, copper cables...
This way we would need belts to carry heavy things and have logistic bots carry lighter items, because ...

You can edit a scenario like that, then play on it.

I'm also interested in a random seed that can generate something crazy like that ^^

I am aware we can squeeze between boilers placed together and other pumps which is fine.
The problem is why only one way? :lol:

Situation: move the player north passing through the pump and the boiler, then try to pass back from north to south.
Expected: the player should squeeze and pass between ...

Hey DanGio, did you read my other post?

It looks like I have the same problem you have. Sometimes there's the issue, sometimes all is fine.

Are you near a dense forest area when the fps drops? What resolution you running the game?

P.S. That Christmas picture above is really great ScaryBuh! I hope the devs see it.
Cheers, we even got into green color to be santa little helpers. Alinde dropped some tree decorations on the belt by mistake and it clunked up on the belt as it always happens... we only noticed that after posting ...

The robots bring you the hype train, a full player database playing the new release of 0.16.

I request one copper ore. Just one.

I restarted factorio, this time I went to load the dense forest map I shared before.

Settings are just like the first one, and it has 16fps.
- Decoratives ON
- Tree sprites ON
- Video memory usage ALL
- Atlas texture size LargestPossible
16fps on dense forest map.jpg

There's some instability ...

Got it again! I mean, the fps problem, which is totally undesirable but it proves I'm not lying or going mad.

this time I started factorio and went straight to new game, set Trees to high frequency and very big size, so I could get a fancy big forest near me.
It is at 30fps. It's not as bad as only ...

Just to make things more complicated:

I was on factorio forums for some 15 min reading stuff, with factorio game closed.
Decided to run factorio on that dense forest map, my settings were left at max,
- Decoratives ON
- Tree sprites ON
- Video memory usage ALL
- Atlas texture size LargestPossible ...

try disabling tree sprite bit maps. i need to do more testing, but my system doesn't seem to like that one.
Cheers for pointing me out in that direction, I did some testing around it, here's what I found:

Hey checksumfail, try to restart your linux and then run only factorio with decoratives on, video memory on all, atlas texture size at largest. Does it help?

When I restart my windows and then go play factorio with the settings on max, the fps are stable at 60.

Problem starts when I open a few ...

Merry Christmas to the dev-team!

Thanks for the release of 0.16 before Christmas as present!
Me and my friend offer a chest full of goodies, it's below the Christmas tree decorated with shiny things

How it is right now:
mouse hover the rock and we need to read the resources we get in the screen on the right

The idea would be to put that information easy to read right near the mouse cursor, as we can see in this example by pressing F3 and pass mouse over sprites, information ...

Looks like version 16.3 fixed a "bit" this problem,

- Fixed very low performance of drawing decoratives on medium or lower video memory usage setting. (https://forums.factorio.com/54681)


Although it wasn't a problem of medium or lower video memory (on my part), it fixed "sometimes" my low ...

I had similar problem and reported it too here viewtopic.php?f=182&t=54694
I fixed it by turning down a bit Atlas texture size, so I could keep the decoratives on

Managed to solve the problem by changing
Atlas texture size largest to 8192

in fact there are 3 alternatives solutions,
lowering atlas texture size,
or lowering video memory usage,
or turning off decoratives.
while keeping the rest at maximum values.

So right now I'm playing fine with 60 fps ...
