Re: Friday Facts #374 - Smarter robots

Re: Friday Facts #374 - Smarter robots


- Also the repair mechanism for bots isn't the best: Walls get attacked, flame throwers put biters and the walls on fire, bots come in to repair / rebuild walls immediately and die in the fire or to the biters themselves.

[1.1.72] Crash drawing font

What Happened
I queued a bunch of researches and went to sleep.
On the morning I've found that Factorio crashed (not a map crash with return to the main menu, a complete app crash with core dump).
The game was running without any user interaction.

My PC is configured to not go sleep mode while ...
