Factropy is in this space: https://dorfl.itch.io/factropy . Indie, WIP, free demo. Factory simulation genre tropes abound.

Two parts Factorio, one part Satisfactory, a dash of Supreme Commander and a bunch of loose ideas a certain solo developer failed to mod into one of those games. The overall ...

... ran into the uneven loading bug again.

This may happen if you use a miniloader of one tier with a mis-matched belt tier. The inserter timings get unpredictable and I don't promise consistent results.


Fwiw, attached is a minimal 0.18 sandbox save with miniloaders 1.9.3 that shows express ...

Will try to get the obligatory screenshots from another box. For some reason screen capture is showing up all black on Wayland...

This might be works-as-expected, but it confused me for a while and I couldn't see it described anywhere, so:

I marked a rail depot for deconstruction before removing a train, so 25 robots went and sat waiting over 25 blocked rail segments -- as expected. But load from mods listening to on_robot ...

Consider allowing circuit network connection for the electric-energy-interface, with modes:

* Report charge level (like Accumulators A=charge)
* Enable/Disable

Use case would be in https://mods.factorio.com/mod/smr which has power suppliers that currently use the accumulator prototype to get the A ...

Small modular nuclear reactors designed to be deployed off-grid at remote sites. SMRs are manufactured as sealed units with a fixed energy capacity, including both fuel and generator components. This means they can be quickly setup anywhere but once depleted must be returned to base for ...

Compatibility problem with Angel's vehicles:

When using remote control on a Crawler vehicle, it empties generator's storage in its power grid

While playing around with the path finder, I found path_resolution_modifier = 8 caused a full process lockup and eventually a crash. Lower values work OK.

I tried 8 only because UnitAISettings mentions an -8 to 8 range for an int8 parameter of the same name, and LuaSurface.request_path doesn't ...

It looks more like a rendering issue, not due to a specific mod.

See you have "Flip[on]" which is spiking up to 90ms. Try turning vsync off, close other applications, update graphics drivers, reduce sprite resolution, etc.

Search this forum for other examples with this symptom (eg: https://forums ...

That save runs at stable 60 UPS here, but I only tested it for a few minutes (sounds like your lag is intermittent?).

Try looking at the F5 debug output when you see lag. If any mod shows significantly higher values than the others, it's probably the culprit.

Can you post a save game that shows the lag problem?

0.17 update posted.

Sorry for the delay. I want to do new graphics for this one, but it keeps falling down the to-do list. So this is a plain update of the 0.16 version.

What fuel is needed for teleporter to work?


None, they're electric. The top-left interface is an electric furnace which automatically crafts hidden teleport recipes with cost and duration proportional to the teleport distance.


Power is connected, signals are connected. What I forget to do ...

No clue whether I did something specific or unusual to cause this. No recurrence yet after loading last autosave in .31, or after updating to .32.

The GUI electricity bar oddness is not a big deal so I'm prepared for it to be not-a-bug, but from the Lua API perspective having LuaEntity .energy == .electric_buffer_size for a lamp with zero electricity available, and no ...

Lamp energy shows as full when part of an unpowered electric network.


Place the lamp outside an electric network -- no-power icon flashes and electricity bar is zero. As expected.
Place an unpowered electric pole next to the lamp -- no power icon continues to flash, but now electricity bar is ...
