playing multiplayer with a reasonably large-sized map (mods: krastorio 2 and 8 others).
no difference in performance noticed here. not of much help to you but info nonetheless.

tried a fresh install (zip) and downloaded all mods fresh from a server sync.
desyncs even when to actions are undertaken. other players on the server (obviously with the same mods) are unaffected.

the server has been restarted. same desync within a minute of me logging in. every time.
log attached if it is of any help

all, have many hours on this save since last game or mod update (last week sometime). i was the only one on the server and was simply putting empty buckets into a chest while using a jetpack. desync happened twice in a row. mods are mostly Space Exploration or QoL: aai-containers aai-industry aai-si...

new belt traversal = tremendous

Actually if you want to follow my work, I'll be announcing when I intend to open it up for a public beta on my "todo" list - viewtopic.php?f=34&t=93708

cheers. will keep an eye out.

so is there a beta available to test?

there have been a few threads regarding this i think. this one viewtopic.php?f=5&t=88182& springs to mind.

glad you got it fixed. you can also use screen then detach from it. screen -S name_of_your_new_session run your start script/command then Ctrl+a d to detach from it. next time you log in use screen -list to display the screens you have running then screen -r number_of_the_screen to attach to it

likey the lighting. the rest i can't wait to try.

another vote for multiplayer for keeping things interesting from me. played the tutorials solo but i bore myself when playing alone. the shared goal of multiplayer (assuming that's how one is playing) keeps me coming back to it.

petro chemical mod?

maybe post there.

2GB of RAM may be a wee bit skimpy.

riding atop a spidertron? yes. please.

well done one and all.
i'm relatively new to the show (and wish i'd bought a ticket way earlier) but have already gotten so much enjoyment from it and my factory continues to grow.

do like the visibility improvements with the new design.

good it's working at least.
to be honest it's the way i've always done it (probably because i didn't know any better).

on my headless server i just stop the game and overwrite with the files from the updated version of the experimental build (after backing up of course). it has 32GB of RAM though.
maybe try this method if the automatic method is failing.

it's very good of you to share that (some of your story). we're all different and process and deal with things in separate ways. glad you found your path. i've benefited from factorio daily as an engrossing distraction from various things that are going on. new blueprint stuff looks great. i messed ...
