+1 and as the current behavior sets the game up for a boot failure, this obviously is a bug report rather than a feature suggestion.

+1 as while I don't know whether it is the last thing preventing mods from chance and count of side products being affected by any runtime event, it certainly is one of them.

Wouldn't that trade lower VRAM usage for higher CPU/GPU processing usage, i.e. lower FPS?
I mean, something has to rotate those pictures at some point in time.

GPUs are optimized to rotate, skew, and stretch texture coordinates while applying them to planes in a 3D space. No need to use the CPU ...

That's a nice modder QoL feature and could also help make big mods with tons of animations less of a VRAM hog.
Should probably be an angle in radians for easy scripting in prototype phase.

Include heating infrastructure in the self-expanding construction network.

Just in case, anyone was still waiting for the 2.0 update. It is available now.

Inserter Fuel Leech 1.0.0 is a complete rewrite for less UPS impact.
There are now settings for when you need to exclude non-burner inserters (probably to further save UPS) or only want to enable the vanilla burner ...

Sorry, Koub. This thread didn't come up in my search, so I duplicated the feature request here.

That's indeed what I want. It just didn't come up in my search.

Are you talking about train stops in train's permanent schedule, or added by an interrupt?
Because it seems to me a stop added by an interrupt works exactly as you describe (apart from the selected item may be not necessarily the highest count item).


This would be nice for permanent and ...

TL;DR
Have trains see train stop names as if the item wildcard icon had been replaced by the item signal with the highest count.

What?
When a train selects a train stop to go to, it should see item wildcard signal icons ([virtual-signal=signal-item-parameter]) in the train stop names replaced ...

I want to have runtime-per-user settings for enabling debug output for some categories.
Users should also be able to enable debug output relevant to the last entity they themselves placed in their current game session.
Debug messages should only be visible as chat messages to the player, who enabled ...

The types BlueprintCircuitConnection and BlueprintControlBehavior are referenced by the concept BlueprintEntity but not defined in the runtime API JSON nor on the API documentation page

LuaInventory.get_insertable_count(item) works fine in game and returns an integer.
But latest docs (and the JSON) don't list the formal return type. Discovered this while testing a LuaDocs generator for generating hint files for EmmyLua from the Factorio API JSON.

+1 as it's annoying when the game insists on disabling everything else that touches the prototype even though you know for sure from the error message which mod has to be the offender.

As there is talks about power efficiency in this FFF - anyone got some actual UPS per Watt numbers measured at the power outlet for AMD/Intel PC or Arm/Intel Mac?

There is: Wait ten years. Chances are that doubling the demand for memory bandwidth is less a problem then...

Also support this.

In my opinion, the maximum size for an info icon should be fixed to 1¾ tile². But a mod tuning scale_info_icons_multiplier on each entity prototype would be easy to make...

The memory representation of tiles surely is pretty performance critical and more lookups would definitely impact performance too.

But one option, that would cost absolutely no performance overhead would be to split Alien Biomes into multiple mods only containing a few or even just one biome each ...

Factorio is the only game i know, that has been built with modding in mind from the start. I couldn't imagine going all the way to port it to ARM just to stop a few meters before the finish line. But i also couldn't imagine running Factorio on a system with only 4 GiB RAM.

Would definitely ...
