UPS optimization - benchmarking w/ or w/o mods
Disabling mods? Suggestion: disable, benchmark vanilla only - I was not that happy to disable mods for benchmarking tests but it came up there - How cooler is Editor Extension’s underground belt for creating ore / dumping plates? Yes, cooler than the vanilla exp loader & the inf chest - But as ...

Re: UPS optimized 12-beacon smelting - w/minimal circuits
I'm using the script w/my modificaitons from Factorio-Benchmark-Powershell

Re: UPS optimized 12-beacon smelting - w/minimal circuits
Note: I've replaced my benchmark here as this finding made it invalid, as I've mixed vanilla and EE results. Will redo it with a consistent way, most likely vanilla. I've re-created an 500 lane test for 3 scenarios to test EE impact - Zero Mod EL: no mods, using express loaders / infinity chests (B...

Re: UPS optimized 12-beacon smelting - w/minimal circuits
Dear all,
Please move to 500 lane tests. Its more accurate. See my analysis viewtopic.php?f=193&t=101648

Removal of editor extensions would make testing more painful, I'm look into that now.

UPS optimization - 100vs500 lanes (spoiler: 500 lanes results are more stable)
Problem - Seeking for more stable benchmarking results I'd expect a bigger load to give more accurate results - Like a smelting benchmark testing w/100 lanes (1000 UPS) vs w/500 lanes (160 UPS): 500 lanes should be better Test - I took 3 blueprints and ran them 5 x 25.000 ticks for each (see this i...

Re: UPS optimization - say Substations once more...
And a feature request: keep the timers apart, I ant to use 1 timer per map of 100/300/500 furnaces) OK, let's agree on this. Also the reported UPS is a derived value made in the script I use, so i tend to use the execution time, min/max/avg as reported by the benchmark command as leading The scirpt...

UPS optimization - Windows Safe mode benefits? (spoiler: no)
Hunt for more stable benchmarking results - Factorio benchmarks seems to have 1%-3% accuracy - I've tried using Windows Safe mode - expected more stable numbers - Also turning Debug on/off (F5 before save) and setting the speed to normal or 64x - just to see if there is any effect - expected no eff...

Re: UPS optimization - say Substations once more...
TY for testing! It is pretty interesting to have different results, even if the diff is low. For now we see diff output for 100 and 500 lanes. Havig the savegames is crucial and TY for attaching. On the weekend I'll do a scalability testing w/100/200/300/400/500 lanes to understand the difference. A...

Belter v6.78p - After fixing the timer I've re-organized my BP - signal compression is from DaveMcW - Finally beats DaveMcW v2 - +3.71% UPS. Not much, but consistent - No further ideas to improve UPS. Time to move to steel finally? 0eNrVndtuG8kRhl8lYG4pbx+qT0YWAZK8QS4Tw5ClsU1EIgkenHUMvXu6Od4VRdVQXX...
