Swapped Power Armor with Power Armor MK2 with the equipment grid open, and the equipment grid did not adjust size accordingly.

No mods enabled that affect equipment grids.

Indeed, I didn't look hard enough. Ty.

Built a platform using a bp, has uncommon collectors. Use BP to downgrade to normal collectors, did NOT register with automatic builder. Needed to manually change quality from normal to another and back again to get it to register.

Only happens on ghost entities on platforms , not after they've ...

Hi guys,

Don't know if you heard, but KoS sadly passed away recently.

As posted by Mathias on her Discord:


It's with a heavy heart I have to bring you some very sad news.

Two days ago, Katherine passed away in her home. The exact cause of death hasn't been confirmed yet, but since she was ...

Resolved this too: viewtopic.php?f=49&t=121997

Ty, boskid and yuu6883dev.

Could be related? viewtopic.php?f=7&t=122454

Tested, definitely related.

Removed all my read all belts and the 250+ transport line updates dropped to 10, immediately.

I'm back.

Unfortunately, with the same issue. Is there a way to determine where (which planet) this lag is happening, aside from just blindly guessing?

Because this is the first time I have encountered this and it's honestly quite off-putting.

Ok, I'm sorry for the multi posts, but I think I solved the mystery.

I decided to clean out my perimeter defense belt from explosives to regular rockets. I, then, noticed that the random lag spikes went away almost immediately. Huh. Then, I decided to add a maximum limit of ammo on the belt, and ...

Ok, I refactored significant portions of my base on Nauvis, cutting out effectively ~20k belts. The lag spikes persist.

Latest save attached, using 2.0.20.

Oh, I might need to refactor some parts of this base...

Could it be this? This is the first time I'm playing with biters, so it's also the first time I have a defensive perimeter on both Nauvis and now Gleba.

Sure. I already have one in the OP. I'll take a new one shortly.

EDIT: Here they are. The one with frame cycle 18 was taken just as it was happening, but the numbers hadn't rendered yet. Used Steam to capture it.

Updated to 2.0.20 again as a troubleshooting measure. Still cannot explain these lag spikes.

I found it.

It's the offshore pumps controlling my nuclear power on Nauvis.

Absolutely wild how it brought the entire game to a halt, and actually caused a crash.

Nvm, lag spikes are persisting.

I started noticing lag spikes in the last couple of hours or so, and 1 such spike caused the game to crash.

I did disable mods (factory planner + max rate calculator + PUMPS), as a troubleshooting measure, and the lag spikes persist.

I captured a performance log and have attached my latest save ...

I did further digging. What I found is... interesting. I'll explain.

First, I found how to see what's saved in my Steam Cloud. URL: https://store.steampowered.com/account/remotestorageapp/?appid=427520

I found a blueprint-storage.dat.zstd file with a size of 1KB there. (No screenshot, because I ...

Set up multiple requesters with manually defined filters. This is one way to get around the "limitation", and not have to intervene at regular intervals.

I thought I was going crazy. Glad to know I'm not the only one.

It happened to me. There is no, from what I can see, definitive guide on how to restore lost backups when changing versions.

** I am using the Steam variant of the game. **

I went down from Latest Experimental (at the time of this writing, 1.1.6), to 0.17.79 to load an old save from Nilaus. Game ...

Huh. Looks like that did the trick. I swear it worked like the original setup I shared in my Factorio Extended playthrough.
