Never noticed factorio had a multi threaded menu option... honestly I don't know, but when I look at my 4 cores charge, on a big factory, it seems that 4 cores are working equally around 30-40% Side threads are used to handle few things but main simulation is limited to single thread. I'm not 100% ...

Here's an unofficial update to .13 .

Edited file to default settings.

Building rocket parts is broken because there are 4 ingredients and the rocket silo only supports 3.

To fix add an entity-updates.lua file with

I like the loader and I would certainly find it handy for mass storage. I don't like the idea of it consuming lubricant because that makes it tricky to use at outposts. Its use should be restricted to chests.

I agree that the personal roboport tooltip should be made consistent with the roboport tooltip.

When you put your mouse cursor over an unfiltered inventory slot (toolbar, cargo wagon, etc...) it will highlight by lightening the background of the slot and drawing a white box around the slot. Nothing currently happens when mousing over a filtered inventory slot. To be consistent I would expect t...

I agree that the research should be split up a bit.

Bug is still present in 0.12.19 but should still be a very low priority.

This bug doesn't affect me anymore.

If stations gets circuit connections, it would be interesting to have them being able to be enabled/disabled from circuit conditions. It would permit to have train not going to disabled stations. I'm planning on making the trains controllable using the circuit network. This sounds like an interesti...

Issues fixed: Entities created are no longer of the enemy force. Actuators will properly deactivate newly built targets without state change. Actuators don't forget about trains (when the train left the actuator would set its target to the rail and since the rail would never move or get destroyed i...

With the current belts in 0.11 inserters can't fill a belt to full density. So, to make a belt full density I often put a next higher speed belt under the last few inserters or if dealing with express belt I have a few inserters go onto a second belt and use a splitter to merge the items in. Will th...

My understanding is that flip refers to the rendered graphics in the buffer being swapped to what is being displayed. See https://forums.factorio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=7972 or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_buffering#Page_flipping . It shouldn't take long more than a few msec per...

Chunks with pollution always update. For me the biggest slowdown is from entity update. Meaning the time the game is taking to handle all those belts, items, inserters, assemblers, etc...

I noticed the "Force-place Incomplete Blueprints" thread in the ideas and suggestion forum and I thought we should consider an implemented ideas subforum to the ideas and suggestion forum so some threads can get moved there out of the way.

Does that sound reasonable?

I made an unofficial patch that works with 0.11.19. The continuous coverage areas were expanded but otherwise the radars are mostly the same. These radars are very helpful with the RSO mod.

I decided to put together an unofficial patch for the next version (0.3.8). Issues fixed: Entities created are no longer of the enemy force. Actuators will properly deactivate newly built targets without state change. Actuators don't forget about trains (when the train left the actuator would set it...

I'm surprised that there hasn't been any mention of productivity modules in the petrochemical production chain to reduce oil consumption. Let's take batteries as an example. If we put a pair of productivity 1 modules in a chemical plant/refinery you get a 4%*2=8% productivity bonus. Ignoring modules...

FARL causes an exit to main menu under certain conditions when using the FAT controller. To cause this get in a FARL and command it to move to another station. Change control to another train and drive it a bit manually and then hit the player button to try and return to the player still in the FARL...

But that leads me to another idea : there may be a small object/batiment that you must build and attach to the electric network you want to be able to see (and may be manipulate, being able to switch this network on/off far away from it for example). I can get behind something that must be attached...
