I like your efford to increase performance. The performance gain looks huge - noticing there were no changes to factorio itself. Imho the development on the os side lost the focus on performance. To me it is in fact a long known rumour that memory managment on windows is garbage.

Well, i don't know how the fluid system is currently implemented. But i think there is some threshold implemented to negate wavebuilding in pipes and mechanisms to reduce reflections on ends. So in my opinion if no fluid is put into the system and none goes out, this system will at some point go ...

I would like to see regular FFFs again. But that is my perspective as a player. On the other hand i see, that writing these and working with the responses of the community is a rollercoaster on its own and including these in the development process.
But there is one thing that Wube should consider ...

Great Mod! Loving it.

I have 2 Suggestions:

If i am correct, it seems, that fluid throughput is not affected by your mod. If you multiply the maximum fuild of an entity with (60 / CURRENTFPS) you would increase the throughput so that it should match other modifications. If a player uses the same ...

I am currently playing a game with Angels and Bobs. Additionally i use https://mods.factorio.com/mod/crafting_combinator
So i switch Recipes very often.
The problem with switch recipes with assemblers that output different styles of fluids is, that cleaning the pipe network with pumps is not ...

I feel great with these changes. But there is one thing that bothers me.

Keeping Copper Wire Connections between poles in a blueprint is a great feature. But connecting wires to existing contents "as usual" while placing a blueprint should be an option.
Imaging a blueprint, that contains a power ...

You can test any of the 2 behavior in game by using the editor, (/editor) it has a function that allows you to proceed tick by tick.

I am not sure i understand what would be the effect in game though. And if there is no difference in game i can't understand why it would matter.

I think none of ...

Not exactly.

My question is:
Will all entities see a change of value in the same tick?
Imagine a network:
- One Combinator outputs nothing in tick 0, A = 1 in tick 1, and A = 2 in tick 2
- Other combinators read in tick 0, tick 1, tick 2
There are 2 possibilities:
Option 1:
Entities read different ...

I searched the forum and internet and did not find any proper answer. I darkly remember, that the evaluation order of circiut entities in the order of placement in the world. Is this correct?

The question for me is:
If i have a clock for synchronization of all calculations of other circuit entities ...

If you declare this "not a bug", then there should be a note at higher tree settings in the preview window that the result may not be accurate.
I'm half okay with the idea, that trees are generated first and block enemy bases (In fact imho this is just a order of execution problem). It does not make ...

I am okay with the look of it (it's not great, but okay). But the main issue: Why did you not take the opportunity to visualize the included modules in the beacon?

I tested the mod on my map and it worked great. i cut the train count by 60%. The only problem i had was that i had to change the wagon sizes to default sizes so LTN would work with you mod without too much hassle

Hi folks,

Just klick on the screenshots at the end of the post. After that, if you think "wtf is that?", read on.


i just wanted to share with you my ~1k spm base. It was just a prove of concept, nothing more. I used LTN because of the sheer benefit for the playstyle, but it could be done with ...

Sorry, that i overlooked your answer for so long. Following my suggestion, you would move the train by manual driving forward and backward and measuring how many chain signals show a blocked state

It would be nice if it would be possible to link the scaling of the production&consumption graphs to the same scale. Currently is is tedious to compare them.

i have done several things. and for me me the best way is "smelt where you mine" it reduces train traffic by a huge margin. If train tunnels would be available i would change to a huge, smart smelting area because train acceleration because of crossing tracks is a huge problem(and i think the ...

I started a new 0.17 map and there is one point that bothers me alot with lategame mining. Sure there needs to be a good lategame option for mining where you should get ore really fast and that forces the player to burn his mind to get it working. But the most simple problem in lategame mining ...

i can't create such a blueprint because i need to have a gigantic ore field to prepare this blueprint that covers most ore fields.


Start an all-sand no-biter sandbox map and do

/c
p=game.player p.surface.request_to_generate_chunks({0,0},64) p.surface.force_generate_chunk_requests()
