https://forums.factorio.com/download/file.php?id=19223 This effect is fairly easily implemented via a shader provided there's a lightmap already in GPU memory. I'm not a GLSL expert so here's a Python version (assuming intensity is the lightmap and maxes at 255). This should be pretty easy to do wi...

viewtopic.php?p=193621#p193621 Oh would you look at that. It's the thread where I brought up math numbers which show the dispatch logic doesn't remotely optimally use bots. Instead of dispatching a maximum number of bots, I feel like it would be better to time the bot-dispatch code and try to make ...

I give up hope.... I LOL'd at this and everyone at work gave me a weird face. Update your BIOS if it has an update. The M.2 firmware on the board may not support your model of device (happened to my Samsung 950 NVMe) so it's falling back to the previous working settings. Also, your 4k will never be...

So many people make "bug reports" about game features working as they're programmed to work and it gets old. This one in particular has been "reported" a few times and typing out the full reason about how entities go inactive and active and such is tiring :P Hey Rseding, Just a ...

There's still no ARM build (and there probably can't be).

Actually your memory is pretty fast and DDR4 has double the bandwidth of the more common DDR3. The real latency is going to come from the number of pointer indirections that the game code has to do along with how the compression probably can't be parallelized. It's mostly about how the conceptual ob...

I'm really for having the reactor being a 6x6 building. I also like the tmp artwork. Thinking of making a mod that generates artwork like that if it would increase performance of mega bases.

The picture on the first page makes it seem like the designs could quickly become a lot more complex.

Super psyched about the performance improvements. When you do profiling, do you run at unlimited UPS or does the game still max at 60? It might be useful to disable v-sync and run at unlimited UPS. CPU time percentages should be about the same but it would take much less real time to simulate the sa...

@ Rseding, Just a thought, What if you grab a slower pc for testing? :P Then the bottleneck becomes better noticable? Shoot just virtualize a linux and a windows image and then you can play with different hardware sets without buying anything new. VMWare Player is my favorite free hypervisor with K...

Hey Rsedsing you probably saw it but here's a massive save that has some lag because if the trains.

You have to turn on the copper ore and iron ore unloading via the circuit network at the train stations on right and top of the base.

If you are just unsure if your computer will support 64bit then just post your system stats here and we can help you out. Depending on your operating system/specs, it might be as simple as going to microsoft support and doing a free exchange of your 32bit key to a 64bit key and then doing a windows ...

There was mention of trying to enforce a minimum latency in the server config file. I don't know if you can set a minimum buffer size from the game UI though.

Turning the base on. Petroleum isn't finished yet but the iron and copper products can be made.

Thanks Reseding. That makes sense. Here's the debug timings. I have yet to find the massive amount of entities that need updating. Most of the furnaces don't have any ore, there are very few robots in use, and most of the miners are inactive. Could the number of beacons be the cause of the bottlenec...

The hardest part of pathfinding AI is when a decision has to be made; "does the train turn here or here or here or ...". I'm downloading the save and I'll check it out tonight (I love looking at megabases) but for immediate improvement you can have less signals and less junctions. Also, qu...

0.13 is officially considered stable but 0.14 is stable enough to have several playthroughs with only very edge case downsides. I recommend updating to 0.14 because it has so many "nice" features. It also runs a lot faster for me. You can always make a backup of your save and reinstall 0.1...

Good thing I run a huge DNS cache on my Unraid hypervisor.

It's only accessible over localhost so I'm not part of the source IP spoof attacks that were happening.

Not sure but I think the orange inserters aren't working properly. They won't grab from either side of a conveyor unless it's clogged they waft in the general direction of items and very rarely pick them up. I don't think this was the case in 14.14 when I started (not played in a long time previous...

I edited my suggestion because it wasn't very clear.

If there are 100 construction drones in a network, the player should be able to request 100 construction drones and have the drones deliver themselves to your inventory. The same goes for logistics drones. EDIT: The 100 drones are already in flight and may have other jobs to do but when they deliver...
