Re: [2.0.15] Discrepancy in Updage time usage breakdowns

All of logistic and construction robots will be included in the "overall" time usage but not the per-entity breakdown. Additionally, turrets, beacons, and some other smaller entities will also work that way. It's almost always obvious looking at any save file what's taking the time in the...

Re: Performance optimization - post your saves

Seeing some significant lag when opening a space platform hub with enough cargo bays to hit the maximum inventory size of 65535 slots. On my machine, the lag starts getting noticeable in an empty world around 30k slots, and bad around 50k. Interestingly, it looks like this results in a larger FPS hi...

Re: [2.0.15] Autosaves not consistently happening

While the autosave being based on ticks and not actual time explains the 30-40 minute window instead of the 10 minute one I've set, a 4 hour pause (not in the log there, since I didn't think to report the issue until after a crash partway through an autosave cost me 30 minutes of Aquilo designing, s...

Re: [2.0.14] Massive lag all of a sudden

Looks like you are having an extreme version of what I was running into - your Entity Update shows 30 ms, but Entities Total only shows 1 ms. Been trying to find out what the discrepancy could be coming from, but no luck so far.

Re: UPS / FPS slowdowns despite low GPU and CPU usage; somehow related to fast movement and pollution!

What do your individual GPU cores's or fuctions' usages look like? It's possible to pin your GPU at only 10% usage if, say, 10% of it is running at 100%, and the other 90% is doing nothing. That 100% is the average across all functions, including things like video compression/decompression, RTX, etc...

Re: Multiplayer Lag

Your router or ISP (or theirs) might also be flagging this as an attempted DDoS attack because Factorio traffic doesn't look much like normal MP game packets, and the protocall they use is also used by bad actors attempting to perform a DDoS attack (most likely for the same reason Factorio uses it, ...

[2.0.15] Discrepancy in Updage time usage breakdowns

I am once again looking at my Update Time because although the 2.0 update helped a lot, adding more factories has eaten many of the structural gains. I can optimize my factory to improve the UPS further, but that's where the time breakdown comes in. As I'm looking through it, I've found that the gen...

[2.0.15][SA] Crash on Autosave: this->busyRobotLink.isLinked() == this->shouldBeLinked() was not true

I had a game crash upon completion of an autosave. Can not replicate, as the most recent autosave before is >30 minutes back, and I can't get the save into the same gamestate it was in upon crash. I do have the game log and the .tmp of the autosave though. Link to the autosave: https://drive.google....

[2.0.15] Autosaves not consistently happening

I have an odd one for you: Autosaves are not happening regularly. They do occur, but not on a predictable interval; sometimes they occur on the autosave schedule (10 minutes), but sometimes they do not occur for seemingly random amounts of time, does not appear to be multiples of the autosave time. ...

This is true for all vehicle weapons; including the tank flamethrower, the car turret, the tank turret, and the spidertron rocket launcher. They appear to have factoriopedia pages, which are just not visible normally; they have a category and a page, you just can't see them in the category page. In ...

Re: [2.0.13] Thousands of Logistic robots unreasonably stacking at single roboport

Been having this happen on my save, and I know no power outages were involved. Usually happens when I have a Large (>50k/min) number of bots crossing a small area, and happens more frequently the denser the burst of bots is. Density of available roboports does not seem to help - I had this happen in...

Re: Looking for help locating the cause of a ballooning Entity Update time

Some further testing shows that this is likely something to do with a large number of spidertrons making logistics requests all at once? Although it's not as bad this time, when I return my builder fleet (I think somewhere between 200 and 400 spiders) to my main base and they enter the logistics net...

Awesome, thank you! Don't know how I missed that the first few times I skimmed the debug options!

Re: add an option to make the copy function not save a blueprint

While we're at it, reminder that if you Ctrl-C and then hold Shift while you select the area, you can edit the blueprint before it's stored in the cursor and paste history. So you can easily remove entities you don't want to paste, or use Ctrl-C insteaf of the blueprint shortcut entirely and drop i...

Re: Marathon: Large distances to ore - empty furnaces

As far as deadlock when demand dips; Stackers are my go-to; just double, triple, or even quadruple your train count, update the train limit on the stations accordingly, and then add waiting areas for that many trains (-1 for the one in the station) on the furnace and mine sides.

This won't help with the biters, but there is a mod that maybe should be ascended, that makes bots immune to fire, since they're flying, and so not on the burning ground.
