Hello,

I really adore Factorio, and I love a modded Factorio even more (Bob, Angel, AAI, Deadlock <3). I wanted to start this topic for over year now, and after seeing the announcement trailer of Satisfactory I knew I just had to sit down and start writing.

When you place an entity (a prototype ...

No, my monitors are capped to 60 Hz.

I also noticed that when the FPS drops, the GPU usages of Factorio spikes towards 100% (which seems odd). Nominal GPU usage is around 15-20% for me.
I'll see if I can collect some more data / logs files to include with this thread.

Hello,

With 0.16.41 I occasionally experience FPS drops, from 60 -> 20 aprox. It can be fixed (getting the FPS back to ~60 again) by ALT+TAB-ing out and in again.
It appears as if Factorio wrongfully enters into a background rendering mode where the frame rate is reduced.
I think the decision logic ...

Thanks Darkfrei, the graph's seem to correspond with my own findings.

I think I found the formula I was looking for.

Given the following parameters:

A car-prototype with the following constants of interest:

weight (mass)
consumption
braking_power
friction (internal rolling resistance, applied regardless of riding_state.acceleration)


The terrain-friction ...

Hello folks,

Can anyone tell the formula that Factorio uses to calculate the decelleration (meters / tick) of a car-prototype?
How does the Braking_Power, Friction and Weight apply here?
Are there any other variables I have to take in account, like surface wind speed and direction, terrain friction ...
