Exacltly that worked here with 2.1.17 but I think not 2.1.14 so if it was there before it was reintroduced now.

If it's back, file a bug report.

My person also says turning off decoratives fixed it for him. Thanks for the tip, weird it changed so much in a minor version though.

I was unable to log in last night, but am now.

I wonder how you solve a problem, at least for me. Many players switch on the chunkoverlay and place a pipe or something like that to prevent the biters from choosing this chunk for expansion. I would like to see this solved as the expansions are too easy manipulated in that way.

Wait, what happens if you kill the entire nest except ONE spawner? Will that one Spawner prevent expansions from forming nearby if you feed it enough ammunition to keep it from being a danger? aka Biter Zoo?

It WOULD make sense for players to actually do that at least to one of the nearby nests ...

Does it happen on older driver versions?

You should be able to put the chain signal right as they enter the roundabout, and then have a regular signal prior to that—although I don't know how much benefit you get unless you expand that block enough that you can fit a full train in it (and even then, it'd be increased size in exchange for ...

Except entering and in the roundabout, right?

Unfortunately, this is rather common on laptop keyboards. (And, of course, those are the ones you can't easily replace....)

Nope. 2.0.77 works just fine; I only see issues if I when I swap to 2.1.11 in Steam.

Does it happen with the non-Steam version?

Please post a log and save.

OP has a GTX 1050, which has 2GB of VRAM. I was talking with someone I know a couple days ago and he alleges that he's been seeing decreased performance between 2.1.9 and 2.1.11; he has a GTX 770 (also 2GB VRAM), so I'm wondering if it's something to do with ...

The personal robots in this save are broken in a couple ways. Note that the player's inventory is full, and if it is emptied they do sort themselves out.

4. Fill the stack of robots (or, replace with ...
