I my case the steam overlay was enabled but not in use at the time of the freeze. I had them both when actively playing and when the window was alt+tabbed. I guess I'll try to disable the overlay to see whether it's still happening but it's so rare it will be hard to get something conclusive, since ...

I'll keep an eye for any zombified process but IIRC I did not saw any zombie process hanging around while the "main" factorio process hanged. So I think if autosave was just a fork() the auto-saving process exited correctly. I think workaround might be plainly doing waitpid() on the forked...

I just got it. Factorio is basically using no CPU Here is stacktrace (thread apply all bt) (gdb) thread apply all bt 100 Thread 45 (Thread 0x7fda696006c0 (LWP 517575) "factorio"): #0 __futex_abstimed_wait_common64 (private=0, cancel=true, abstime=0x0, op=393, expected=0, futex_word=0x6c6b4...

Real world radars is for detecting stuff like enemies, not for transmitting data. So I think it would be better to make an new entity for transmitting data and leave the circuit connection for an future implementation of getting data of enemies/biters in the radar range. Then the radar would work m...

Now we only need "required materials for ghosts" signal/combiner to make fully automated global train logistics without much fuss! First off, I LOVE what you're doing with the expansion. Secondly, I LOVE your latest series of FFF. None of the following criticisms are intended to detract fr...

I'd love that. With say 68000-esque assembly and just running X instructions of code per tick of the game.

Can we get graphing (just draws input signals in same way production stats are drawn) combiners in addition to that ? Would make debugging any circuit issues much easier (and graphs for nerds are great too) and last time I've checked the one mod that tried it (using some surface hacks) got broken af...

TL;DR Combiner that make graphs like current production statistics, but from provided circuit signals. What ? It is sometimes hard (especially with one of the more complex mods) to debug what is exactly happening in our little rube goldberg machines called "factories". Ability to graph th...

TL;DR Roboport should have option to emit: Missing elements for the blueprint in the network's range. Logistic requests that can't be fulfilled from network inventory What ? We have mods like GhostScanner (scans ghosts, outputs parts of the ghosts) who fulfill it partially but it comes at hefty UPS...

It is already possible via [some](https://mods.factorio.com/mod/GhostScanner) mods, altho in apparently not very effective way. Would be nice to have additional option for roboport to Output building requests (so blueprints/repairs) Output resource requests (requester/buffer chests) just as negative...
