Here's a worse one: The belts move without any source of power.

It's just done that way to make the game more fun.

It would be super strong if it was bigger, almost certainly overpowered. Also, the player is supposed to be stronger than a spidertron in many ways. The engineer is by far most important thing in the factory so the higher tier equipment should match that design principle as well, and one aspect wher...

It's useful to know, if you are able to test, do any other games cause issues? Preferably test a variety of low-load and heavy-load games.

My main line of thinking is that if it's something general, it would probably be very apparent in other games and programs too.

There is , in fact, an extreme amount "going on behind the scenes to enhance the performance". If it wasn't there, you could probably not even reach 1k spm. Aside from further advanced optimizations, there is one method that has interested me: creating extremely costly but very UPS efficient alterna...

If I understand you correctly, either have burner inserters feed the power if it's an issue with inserters not having power, have the backup power activate before the batteries run out, at like 2% or something, or have a separate battery or two for the inserters (more than doable with circuits and m...

+1 I thought about this for a while, and I do think it's something that's definitely a good idea. Simply put, it's too easy to accidentally undo something you worked on across the map that you already forgot about and then never be able to find it again (until you realize a facility and large parts ...

The logistics networks will only process up to a certain amount of tasks per tick. If you have hundreds and hundreds of tasks queued up, it'll both slow down the processing of assigning individual tasks, but also mean that not all tasks may get alerts. From what I know this is relatively well known ...

I, too, learned that if you don't have walls, even tiny gaps in turret coverage will cause enemies to slip through. I swear a gap as wide as just 5 tiles had enemies slip through... (for reference, this was with gun turrets.)

It's actually similar if you want to update entity settings remotely... most commonly for me, changing circuit conditions or splitters. Very cumbersome to do remotely. That does work with the temporary blueprint method above. It is just modules that are the exception. Wait, what exactly is the exce...

I'll +1 this because adding or changing modules at all with bots is a major pain to do remotely.

Last release I just finished implementing all the parts of the stickers that were not finished, and part of the result is that they are now correctly slowed down by the acid stickers from worms/spitters Noooooooo! I thought this was a feature :cry: I thought so too... BLAH! Acid stickers are so ove...

What can I say, a big congrats and a big thank you!

I would agree, that is a very legitimate use of long-handed inserters, one I think is fully justified too. My main idea was that they're niche in what they do that short inserters can't. The use is almost always with production machines, where filtering is almost never needed. Mods that needed it wo...

I think it's probably just one of those things they want you to figure out a workaround on your own. There's no way it wasn't considered by the devs. Most of the time I use long-handed inserters as a hack, it's to feed an assembler, in which case they already work perfectly. Every other time normal ...

Is the CPU instruction architecture literally incompatible?

Anyway, nice render performance... I wonder why that's so slow. Is it software rendering everything?

Wouldn't like 2000 be enough for the intended behavior?

If you intentionally cause an overflow... well, that's an overflow alright. Seems more like feature request than a bug report but I guess it is a tiny bug.

The main proposal does seem to have some merit, but it involves a lot of changes, which makes it harder and thus less likely, all for fixing a small problem which further makes it all the less likely. You would probably want to motivate and explain it in more detail but I suspect that's not an easy ...

Why would you have 50% satisfaction? I could understand it if it was a bug that happened frequently when you have random, instantaneous dips in power, but it sounds like you're consistently sitting on very low power (considering the baseline is 100% satisfaction). [...] Power can easily crash from ...

Maybe the character tab (window) with the coloring options would be accessible via a button located in the bottom right, since that's where the weapons and armor are listed? That would solve the duplication ambiguity as well because you know you clicked a button right next to those fields. Other tha...
