Does the FPS-Drop also occur when you turn off the paths but stand in the same spots? If not, it might just be the rendering of those paths that is slowing down you game (not dramatic since you usually have them turned off) Besides: The game / simulation itself is not slowed down when your FPS drop....

Makes no sense, cause you have no longer control about the direction the train comes on a train stop. Which is important for inserter positions. You already have that issue if double-headed train is put on track with turning loop. Also, in proper situations trains would never prefer backwards direc...

You do NOT need to sign up in order to download Java. Just take a look at the link i posted in this thread. If you are using a 64-Bit OS, it is recommended to install both the 32- and 64-Bit version of Java. This would be accomplished by clicking on the 2nd and 3rd "red arrow" from the top...

You dont need a mod manager. You can also download a mod and extract the archive to the /mods folder.

For downloading Java, take a look at this site.

Do you sell your product at the end of the game? How do you sell it and who to? Atm, the end-game content is still lacking (devs are aware of it) and there is no real "end" to a savegame / base / map. "Finishing" a game is currently achieved by launching one rocket including a s...

There are a few good smelting-setups. Some people - including myself - tend to use combined ore-coal belts on either side of two furnace-lines with the output in the middle of both lines. If youre dealing with fully compressed input belts and enough furnaces, this leads to exactly one compressed out...

Is the music turned up in options?
Music does not play all the time. Sometimes you will not hear music for a few minutes.

Why should the map show anything outside of those constraints?
If you want a theoretically infinite map, just leave both options empty when creating a map. If so, the Minimap will show new chunks.

Hype

Just to answer both of your questions:

Saving takes longer now since the game has to store data for all those chunks instead of just a few ones.
You cant revert the map-discovery. Either accept it, load a older save or start all over again.

I guess it had chosen that lane prior to the second train showing up in the previous signal check cycle? Yes, that is what mentioned after my edit. Depending on the distance from / to your outposts, this might happen more or less often. The only way to minimize this behaviour as far as possible wou...

Yes, there isnt any real queue implemented atm. Basically, every red signal is looking for a free path ever so often (dont know the correct number, lets say every second / 60 ticks). Therefore, you cant really predict which train will leave next. In your example, one of the chain signals would turn ...

Compilation time can be resolved by using Incredibuild (but this stuff is expensive and assumes big office with many cores). Another option is FastBuild (I guess that's what unity means). It manages to reduce compilation time, but more important it reduces link time. On a big project that compiles ...

Did you change your mouse or started / stopped using specific drivers for your mouse?

The (server-)log and Modlist might help to find the bug in this case.

On the first look, the "crane" does indeed look like a crane. However, the two "buttons" on its arm could also be lights - Which could just visually symbolize the state of the "internal" signal which is already included into train stops e.g. just show if the train can l...

What about the beacons? I boosted one of my wells up to 180% production rate, which was interesting, but is that really worthwhile to do? That depends. If you want to supply your base by your current wells and dont plan to add more in the near future, it is. If you want / like to add more wells, it...

You could do that if you wanted to.

The reason for not implementing the mod:
It wouldnt work on single-rail systems if youre using more than one train.

Well, the issue with "dark games" on Youtube is that videos seem to always get a tad darker when Youtube is processing them. Therefore, Youtubers either skip dark passages or make them as bright as possible to please their viewers. Personally, i could play without lamps and still see every...

I actually have far more issues with attempting to deconstruct large areas of things (especially chests that are full) than placing too many blueprints. And deconstruction doesn't seem to have a time-out! I´m not 100% sure, but IIRC, they do also have timeouts, but they persist way longer than blue...
