Re: Performance optimization - post your saves

Here is an older 4k SPM save of mine - I had huge performance problems with my old potato, but even with a new high end PC it's not too great. https://derpumu.de/factorio/megabase2020/Megabase2020_1.1_EE.zip - idling, it is just about 60 fps, but seems close to dropping below that. - research artill...

Re: Enable removal or hiding of shield equipment and active defense equipment

I wasn't aware, so thanks for the link. However, minimal properties are not the issue here. The inability to truly hide the mentioned equipments is the problem

Enable removal or hiding of shield equipment and active defense equipment

For the Pacifist mod I tried to remove all active defense equipment and energy shield equipment but could not. Upon start, the game displays an error that basically tells me it can't deal with no existing prototypes of these types. The obvious solution that worked with all other kinds of "must ...

[MOD 1.1] Pacifist

Pacifist is a mod that not only disables biters (even kills them when you load it in an existing save) but also removes many military technologies. Why? Well, I like to play without biters, e.g. when I try out a mod pack that's new to me or want to try some special challenge without setting up a pe...

Re: Parts of lua execution skipped in for loop?

Print is setup to ignore multiple calls with the same parameters. If you call print("hello") five times in a row, it'll print once and ignore the rest. It doesn't want the console spammed with the same message. If you really need to see them all, switch to the log command which logs every...

Parts of lua execution skipped in for loop?

Hi, I am relatively new to Lua and modding, not to programming though, and I came across a piece of behavior that I absolutely find no explanation for. here's my striped-down control.lua. Down in the for loop I have marked a part in the for loop that only gets executed once even though there are mul...

I do wonder why you decide to use uncompressed belts so often.
Not sure where you see that where it could be avoided.

A 4k spm modular megabase with diagonal rail grid and some concrete art

http://derpumu.de/factorio/20200906083833_1.jpg I started the base around January. My main goal was to build a megabase with independent blocks, so it could scale over time. I wanted round numbers, so I thought about having 1k spm per block at first. Since that would be quite big and require 3 rock...

Re: [0.18.30] Electrical Network Info Production number way too high

accumulators are possible power producers, e.g. imagine thousands of lasers firing at once - that power spike could be caught by the accumulators, in your case up to 72GW

Re: [0.18.30] "Materials missing" alert sometimes wrongly disappears completely

@Rseding so it should have alerts if there are no items available, right? Robots are there, items are not. No alerts shown, at all, for more than 600 ticks.

Re: [0.18.30] "Materials missing" alert sometimes wrongly disappears completely

Define "minimalist save" please? This happens in a megabase (save file is 95mb), sporadically. I have yet to see if this is reproducible after saving and reloading the game in such a situation. I'll save a copy when I encounter it next time.

I have a situation where I first put down a couple of roboports and then a blueprint that adds mainly substations and ~22k belts, 2k underground, and a couple hundred other entities. I unload items from trains into storage chests to make them available in the network, but of course there will be tho...

See the following image: - when I edit the tech queue by resuming a tech level (artillery range 6 in this case), it says "Resume" on the button also for the higher levels (range 7, 8, ...). Closing and reopening the tech GUI fixes this and it says "Start Research" - A progress in...
