Re: We support Ukraine

No you never asked for that you just repeatdly post links that are doing the apology of the war. I don't understand why you waste your time arguing with people who's job it is to just distribute Russian propaganda. It's the same as if you discuss the current news with the paper boy if he should con...

Re: Small Idea: Fish only Spawns in Blue Water

The game doesn't create new lakes later - it's all in existence since game start from the player's point of view. You might see the engine create new chunks on the fly when you explore them, but actually it is made as if all exists since game start. Since it's all dependent and based on the map seed...

Re: Why doesn't the rocket silo support signal connection?

I just want to read the production progress of the rocket. In one of the linked posts a dev explains that handling the rocket silo is meant to be a challenge for the player. The rocket silo is basically just an assembling machine. It takes various kind of stuff as input and produces science packs a...

Re: How often do you redesign/redo your factories?

With the central part of the factory (mall and research), I end up circling around my starting place. I build new stuff to available empty space next door, however water, cliffs and rails limit where I actually build. Later, water and cliffs are no obstacles any more, but for some reason, I refuse t...

Re: What starting settings does everyone use?

I'm always using standard settings for everything. It's well balanced. It's part of the challenge to find and get to the oil. I only make sure there's not too much water in the starting area, but that's all. Resource fields get bigger the more far away from the starting area, so I don't have any iss...

Re: We support Ukraine

With the Ukrainian invasion, it became clearly visible every single word from Putin and his propaganda offices in the last 10+ years were a lie, fake news, propaganda, intentionally fabri...

Re: Inserters pick up LOTS faster on a curved belt

This is like quantum physics. The smallest parts of matter have all the same tiny fixed rules how they work, but if put together in different combinations, they result in a large variety of different, sometimes surprising behavior.

Re: Inserters pick up LOTS faster on a curved belt

This behavior is well known and well investigated:

With the pick up from a turning left belt, it seems you actually found the fastest pick up method.
Use it and exploit it.

Re: Stuttering, which mod zu blame?

Instead of re-enabling mods one by one, re-enable half of all your mods. If the stuttering doesn't reappear, it's in the other half of your mods. Repeat and search for the mod in the half you identified as producing the lags. This way you halve the amount of mods in every step until you're left with...
