Are overhead rails supposed to be instantly destroyable by pentapod attacks without the rail supports taking any damage?
I've been having a lot of trouble lately with the pentapod attacks on one particular farm where I end up having to completely change the rail route into a reverse loop on the ...

I'm hazarding a guess that the sound was sourced from rubbing plastic/bubblewrap? it's very unpleasant... to a point that it may have caused my current radiculopathy to suddenly flare while walking over it ...

BTW; there's still the PR pending that fixes the trains being broken in the current version;

This would've likely been the case due to the iris-pro part of the iGPU (128MB cache), and seeing as my 290X also becomes a furnace when texture streaming takes place, I suggest trying with texture streaming off?

I'm suddenly more inclined to get a macbook to use instead of linux, not entirely sure why, though really I should get one anyway as I don't currently have anything for compiling on OSX myself...

At any rate; nice work on the fluid system, this sounds much more logical for fluid mechanics and ...

Gonna' say, if you weren't going to release any time soon I would've suggested splitting the update, as holding the next update for another many months would very likely harm your retention rates, and in turn sales...

Good to hear you did just that, wish it were done a bit earlier, but you're doing ...

Anyway, a GTX 1060 renders a game scene like this in 1080p in 1ms. That's fast, but it means in 4K it would take 4ms, 10ms on integrated GPUs, and more that a single frame worth of time (16.66ms) on old, non-gaming GPUs. No wonder, scenes heavy on smoke or trees can tank FPS, especially in 4K ...

I like the floating text, but as a old player I usually know why something isn't working, Please leave the option to keep the warnings in the bottom corner out of the way, I know to check there if I have questions but I know for newer players the floating text will help a lot! I personally would ...

I'd suggest altering the sleep timer to sleep for a shorter period of time, then run a spinlock on awake to time the next update more accurately. Using a spinlock waker also allows to pre-warm execution threads , as it takes time for the OS to wake them all up again.


Nice idea. But if not ...

Performance wise, as a low-level developer myself and one that's also had factorio on different systems, mobile intel CPUs often spike in and out of C state 0 to keep the power draw low, while maintaining a high clock speed. For the most part this doesn't affect the user that much, although in games ...

The 'speed and volume' is pretty much what I would use (or do actually, technically), myself, though the term 'speed' also refers to 'pressure', 'momentum' and 'flow', which are all essentially identical terms in this context. The things that would control the 'speed', and in turn make the pipes ...

I'm definitely liking these changes, it makes much more sense for the rocket materials to be split out and put to use in various other places, among the general separation of nuclear etc. Of which in essence means you could get uranium processing, kovarex and ammo to use uranium in more classic ...

Log seems to point to the electric net at fault, of which I actually have a set of [vanilla] steam turbines that are set to run in a binary switching fashion as opposed to all-running-together, however this is performed at the steam level and not with breakers.

There are also however 3 individual ...

Flying bugs anyone...?

As someone that's played a lot of various war games, the artillery sound is a warm welcome. I do find it surprising though that you had two sets of methods for player and editor modes, most games go for the null-player route initially (which is also what I'd choose) which is very simple to implement ...

But that's generally not possible when batching, is it?


Only if you do separate batch queues/objects for each alpha stage, which is a pretty common method. With vulkan/compute however you can do some custom shenanigans depending on what you want, particularly if you make use of concurrent buffer ...

Now to upgrade the entire sprite system to openCL, and probably everything else eventually...

On a more serious note, has vulkan been considered as an even better latency and performance jump for modern hardware? particularly integrated GPUs and/or in laptops where less CPU use has a positive ...

@Klonan You should try to collect at least the motherboard brand as well, preferably the chipset info too, as there's known issues with AM4 gigabyte and MSI boards that could be contributing to the render crash...

Which is a problem, because it means that replays virtually never work, unless you lock the game to a specific version and never update...
