It took my computer a good minute of chugging, and getting the selection rectangle to cover all corners of base while it was on the verge of crashing was also a challenge, but it wasn't very time consuming, certainly not on the scale of weeks etc. :)) Gentlemen are not to be taken at their word?) I...

Thanks for the report however it does work.

But it only works for chunk generation requests created after the value is set.

Thanks for the report. I saw this crash in the automatic crash reports and fixed it an hour ago. It will be fixed in the next 1.1. release.

From everything I can tell this is due to the filesystem emulation not implementing everything correctly. Factorio does not do anything special when it comes to disk access. We simply use the C++ standard library filesystem functions. You'll need to bring up the issue with whoever made virtio-fs.

Yes. I usually unzip Factorio into the RAM diks and launch it from it when I need to test something in specific old release.

Ok. So the issues mentioned here and in some other posts are due to the ram-disk software being faulty as suspected.

Dataram RAMDisk works well for me (even thought now that I googled their homepage, it is not secured, so that seems little bit sketchy)

Does Factorio work if you set the read or write directory to a RAM disk using that software?

ImDisk has served me very well for the past few years. I found this page for imdisk: https://github.com/LTRData/ImDisk which says in more words "don't use this on modern versions of windows" PLEASE NOTE: This project is not recommended on recent versions of Windows and many applications w...

If someone has some ramdisk software I could test with that isn't malware I could see if there are any workarounds but so far all of the errors I've seen are coming from the MSVC standard library; which is written by Microsoft developers for microsoft developers.

Thanks for the report. Bilka pointed this out to me the other day and I fixed it yesterday. The fix will be in the next 1.1 release.

It's now fixed for the next 1.1.x release.

The error is coming from trying to load the old mod setting value from the saved player settings. It should reset just the 1 mod setting after the migration finishes but it sounds like it's resetting the entire player settings which is the bug.

Thanks for the report. This is most likely fixed in 1.1.82 which was released earlier this week.

I went to look over the code again and it seems I was simply wrong. It does go over the beacon(s) inventories each time.

I didn’t explain well; beacons collect the total effect of the modules in their inventory and store that. Every time something is built in range of the beacon the combined effect is applied to the machine and the machine decides if it will exclude a given effect. When that apply happens the logic ha...

One issue with this is how to convey to the player what the limits are in a given module. The distinction of what recipes accept what module effects is already confusing. Additionally; how would these effects work when it comes to beacons? Beacons do not track where the beacon effect came from. They...

I think you provided the wrong save file the first time. The 2nd save file you provided is very close to the max play time possible on a given save (2.269~ years). It looks like you disabled auto-pause and left the save running on the server while you weren't playing which let it accumulate time. Th...

The save file is 600 megabytes. Loading saves that large typically takes > 32 GB of RAM. Your computer shows having 16 GB which means it will likely be hitting the page file long before loading finishes. If it ran out of RAM and started paging to the disk that will significantly slow things down. Di...

How long do I need to wait before the freeze happens?

Does it only happen if hosted as a headless server or does it happen if loaded as a single player game?

The log file shows that your computer ran out of available RAM. You had 793 MB free when the game started which says to me you have a lot of open software already and need to close some of them or buy more RAM.

What happens if you rename the media-hook dll and try to start the game?
