I made small changes to my platform in earlier version (maybe 2.0.39) and saved those changes to a blueprint. Now, when I place that blueprint game crashes.

Edit: just exporting blueprint string crashes the game

How to replicate:

Setup on the left produces 6122 molten iron per second. Identical setup on the right produces 5769 molten iron per second. We get 6% more output if we unsync productivity bonus from normal production cycles :)

Same issue [2.0.28]. My rail guns are getting destroyed

This is a side effect of the fluid transfer rate being restricted based on the fullness of the source and sink. I have some ideas on how to fix it but they likely won't be implemented until 2.1.


Yeah, there are some quirks with the new fluid ...

No, pumping directly from the output of the machine.


I did a bit more testing and for example if you want to boost chem plant output to 8653 fluid per second from 8645, you just need to add 135 pumps (for a total of 201) :lol:

Funnily, if I output directly to turbines, I also need 201 turbines ...

I improved tester circuitry to just measure production ticks.

Are you able to share some of your solutions to extracting a higher effective output? I tried using pumps directly into storage tanks, even legendary pumps, but it was somehow worse than without a pump+storage tank solution, just underground pipes to my LDS machines.

I could, in theory, just add ...

+1, dynamic build requests would improve planet and outpost resupply a lot

Sometimes train schedule UI doesn't update yellow "go to station" button status.

Example 1 (1st stop is always highlighted):

Example 2 (which station is highlighted depends on schedule settings):

With molten metals from ores, bonus production tick stops foundry for a tick.

1000 molten metal produced during single tick and 100+ metal still in buffer, foundry has to stop for a tick empty buffers.

After ~5000 fluid per second foundry can no longer empty its buffers fast enough:

+1220%, 5156 ...

Alternatively we could add option to lamps to render their color on map.

TL;DR
Enable using display panels as pixels in map view.

What?

Currently display panels can be used to draw icons on map view.
I propose that we could scaling that icon size from 1 tile to current 15x15 tiles which would allow for more flexibility when drawing on map and enables rudimentary ...

I'm guessing that it's because I put safe exit blocks on it, which I believe are needed.

Are they? Each exit already has room for 1 train from each direction, without blocking.

My goal was to make in-place buffered upgrade for Symmetrical Cross 4- or 3-way intersection.
Also my rails are aligned to 48x48 grid, so intersection had to fit inside 5 such nodes.

Results if intersection is built as stand alone or if middle rails are removed after upgrade:


Set 1 76
Set 2 64 ...

Placing pavement removes some foliage, but not everything, which I think is fine. But for cases when I want to clean everything it would be nice if I could just pour some flamethrower fuel everywhere killing everything, or something similar.

Placing pavement repeatedly to remove all grass is ...

TL;DR
Some way to remove all shrubberies and grass from parts of the factory.

What ?
Item that is placeable the same way different paths are, but when placed would remove all grass and bushes from area.

Why ?
Placing pavement removes some foliage, but not everything, which I think is fine ...
