Very possible. And yes, also crashes after having launched nuke and going back into tank.

I have been cleaning up the surroundings lately, using nukes. But the game crashes when I fire two at a time. I think the exact moment is when one bomb is rendering the explosion, while the other is still in the air. Or vice versa, if you fire a rocket while the first one is animating the explosion....

I had similar problems too a while ago, which I think were related to Steam updates, but possibly also other pop-up windows taking focus. At any time, Steam could decide to do an update and lock the screen, and there were lots of updates. The dialog window (if any) would be hidden behind the full sc...

jcramner, this is brilliant stuff. I have observed and thought the same, so trying to limit the speeds of the trains, and also keeping the trains to the same fuel and size. Because maximum throughput also requires trains to have same speed and braking distance ideally. Add to that that I like trains...

I have the exact same problem but it's very rare. It originates from the logistic network optimisations release (0.15.something?), which was then improved several times. Even the 16.37 or .38 had an improvement that fixed the issue, temporarily. But now it got back again. It happens only in my plast...

A simple approach is to wire a longer stretch of belts together instead of just one. Same conditions as you used, the wires will sum the ore on all belts.

so what is my problem my cpu using is about %60 at one core rest of all sits about %30-40 There is no problem, you are just experiencing the limits of Factorio and your hardware. We are all seeing the same thing, I have 12 virtual cores with around 15% load each. The reason you don't see higher loa...

The one thing that reduced load/increased UPS for me the most is to disable biters, expansion, evolution and pollution. Note that disabling biters can only be done at the start of a new map, after that they can only be removed - using commands or mods - but they will continue spawning around the edg...

Hmmmm. So the code has gradually moved away from accessing and manipulating the data in the form of double-linked lists, for performance reasons. Part of the code, I'm guessing save/load and drawing/zooming maybe, are still browsing through the lists node by node. The code doing most of the work is ...

Since we are still on the subject of linked lists (with full address to neighbours stored in the objects), an advantage is that it allows entities to be moved in memory, with small (or no) changes to the simulation code. So if the problem is that entitiies are misaligned and randomly scattered in me...
