Thanks, this fixed it.

New PC, loaded up an existing modded save. This mod (Industrial revolution 2) I guess uses different names for the tech that enables construction bots. Problem is, that I cannot enable the blueprinting tools on the quick bar, because to enable them it says I need to unlock roboports first(blueprint,...

Was wondering why trains were avoiding an intersection where I built a circuit-network optimized traffic lights.. no wonder if there is a penalty like this

The expansion plan sounds great! One thing I've been quietly dreaming about is a multi-threaded game engine for games that play on multiple surfaces - like is the case on space exploration. That would finally justify buying a threadripper :D Thinking back, Factorio is likely the game that I've playe...

As a closure to this, the problem indeed was the bot scheduler.. I had a few thousands of ghost blueprints due to lacking accumulators and that ground the scheduler to a halt. Bots are back to working snappy after fixing the supply issue. On a related note, it would be helpful if the alarm message d...

The normal mitigation is to not have one large logistic network. Thanks for the input. What you write makes sense, since often times after placing a big build order and you walk over there after a bit the personal bots will still rush to place stuff. Do you know if the task scheduler is ran once fo...

With the latest game we've run into a problem with construction bots. The big map is basically covered with roboport grid and is a single robot network. About 30k idle construction bots at this time. Last time playing I placed a few dozen solar panel / accumulator grid blueprints, inside the existin...

Just tested the performance difference between 1.0 and 1.15. On my current train / belt / monster heavy death world map the update time went down from 10.2ms to about 8.2ms.. so a pretty nice performance boost

System spec: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X, 32GB of 3600MHz DDR4

Red, Green, Military, Blue, Yellow, Purple, Space.

I know that Military is black and Space is white, but I neither know nor care the names or uses of any of the colors.

Same here with the first part but we've called them potions since forever

while im at it, why must i press Enter TWICE now to set a logistic setting? ie. i want 300 items, Enter, sigh, YES 300 items! Enter. this isnt a step in the right direction guys, come on geez This is probably my biggest gripe with the current system! Old system had it downfalls too but the new syst...

Just tried on the ryzen 3700x / 32GB 3600MHz ram, factorio versio 18.34. Got an average of 86.7UPS on 5 runs ./factorio --benchmark "stevetrovs_10K_mega_belt_base.zip" --benchmark-ticks 1000 --disable-audio --mod-directory /dev/null --benchmark-runs 5 52.028 Loading map /home/janne/factori...

No idea about the solution, but I basically ran into the same issue with rampant.. a shame since the rampant attack waves were really good at finding weak spots in my defences

From your "mybase.txt" results we first take the average of the "avg" results. (Performed 1000 updates in 31587.002 ms
avg: 31.587 ms, min: 19.662 ms, max: 1158.872 ms). That comes in at 34.05ms. To get ups from update time per tick we divide 1 / 0.03405 = about 29 UPS.

I wanted to try my 3900x with the newly arived 3600 RAM but I cant get the script. Any other way to test with uncapped UPS? If you're running linux, copy that "10k megabase" test map to your saves folder first. Then you can run on terminal (folder /factorio/bin/x64) the following: ./facto...

Good pointers, thanks for those.. Especially about RAM I already had 3200MHz modules on the shopping cart but might want to go faster. I checked the debug list and the biggest time hog is entity update at about 6.8ms.. Transport lines are about 4ms, does that mean all belts or? Also had a look into ...

Thanks for the pointers, especially I had forgotten about the memory latency being a possible bottleneck too. Something to keep in mind while putting together a new rig that hopefully will not choke on a large base :) Factorio not running smoothly is a perfectly legit reason to upgrade from 4-core h...

Had this problem once, it was that at some locations there were too large gaps between roboports. So logistic bots were enroute with the goods, ran out of fuel, closest roboport was the one in the direction they came from, go back there to charge, rinse and repeat.

Recently I've run into slight ups issues with a large-ish base. I'm considering starting a new base, and was wondering what practices should I use to maximize performance? I like to play with belts / inserters + trains for bulk and only use bots for localized deliveries. I've read through a few thre...

I've setup my depots so, that they will unload any leftover materials still on train cars that arrive there. I've also wired in an alarm, that triggers for any train that arrives with stuff on board. If everything is setup correct it's still possible to get leftovers to the depot if you get a blacko...

Yesterday evening we continued our multiplayer game with Natural evolution. 8.0.2 worked out of the box without desyncs (continuing existing game), so it looks like the new version fixed the issue. Thanks!
