Assuming biters are off: fish could be responsible for the entity count.
interesting:)

I had not looked properly... excuse me.

nowhere:) the expansion is not out yet.

here is a "practical" application:)

Hi Dent, welcome:)

Tips:
Use an empty editor map, with 2 mods:
- RegionCloner
- DeleteEmptyChunks (That is how to keep the map small.)
- In editor mode, you can set everything to map tiles, and do all research.
- You can use the express loader and infinity chest for output too, no need for ...

it works like it always did?

in the mod menu:)

What do you mean by not linear? Does doubling the number of entities not double the calculation time?


No.because with big builds, not all entities are in the same state for the same amount of time.
Btw, factorio has a benchmark function that output exact timings. See https://wiki.factorio.com ...

welcome:)
It is not very busy here atm, everybody is waiting for the expansion.
If you want a more active conversation, try the discord forum; lots of forum members are there too.

I think you should. After all, you are advertising your service on this forum.

"Oh! Look over there, a pink elephant!"

I want to make a smart version too, so might as well limit fuel intake in this one as the "base" concept for that.

I am working on something like this atm. Here is what I have: a very simple extensible power plant.
First segment (start) is a 480 MW (4 reactors) build. you add 360MW (2 reactors) with every extension.
(the blueprint is in testing mode. you need editor extensions and magic lamp mods)

My design ...

that is a good idea, mrvn. But this topic is about full blue belts vs partially filled blue belts. So far, partially filled belts are lighter on ups load in my tests.

partial belts are faster:)
I did the same test with straight belts, Ill post it tomorrow. same results: full belts are worse for UPS...
