If UPS is an issue you may as well switch off the pollution especially as you've already removed the biters, it serves no purpose now!


I think it also works without removing the biters, just switch pollution off and clean it, then the biters use a minimum of processor power.
On my actual map ...

I bring this old tread up again because I want new players not to run into the same I did,
so here is what I learned when starting a new map trying to evade the problem:

1) Trying to enclose the pollution inside your defense perimeter is a mission impossible if you go for a megabase. I would need ...

So something is eating up all the memory...
Guess if you don't get more of this reports, then it's most probably other program or service on my comp.

Still at 3.3GB after ~1hr, 4.5GB free memory.
Why should Windows deny 500k if there's plenty of free memory?
It could have even used swapfile memory, but why didn't it?

This is how it looks in the task manager right now:

Can you reproduce the crash after a system restart and with nothing but factorio running?


There was only factorio running at this time, and no, I just loaded the save file (without restarting windows), did the same as before, and it did not happen again.
If it is really system memory that was ...

Mhm, this is just a medium size map I was playing, and there's ~8GB free system memory just for factorio.
In case you mean video memory, the graphics card has 4GB, 3.5GB available and factorio uses 2.5GB by default (as I can see in the logfile).

As subject says, nuke was exploding, half the animation was done, then the game freezed for several time with music still playing and then ended itself.

I would have a look into the windows event-manager, under category system. Probably your graphics driver has crashed.

Guess we let it go, I read his previous posts and he has several problems with power but never gives any picture or save.
He also opened a post ( https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=55&p=528257&sid=eab66f53efa1c643ff3ed3faf94bc88c#p528257 ) where he described Steinio's help as "crazy answer ...

Maybe you can upload the save, so we can have a look on it?

I think people are overcomplicating things when it comes to train stations.
I have a lot of stations running without any circuit, took some time to get right amounts of train limits per station and trains, but it's really working like a charme without any circuit logic.
Except for special cases, I ...

The save is 130MB, and I get a http error if I try to upload it. Is there a size limit for uploads?

Maybe it's just my internet connection, I was able to upload it to onedrive, had to split the zip into parts unfortunately.

I will try to do so when it happens again.

I recently build a spidertron-group to do constructions,
and every once in a while the group doesn't move any further because one Spider gets stuck with very long legs.
Guess a picture tells better than words:

Indeed, I do that a lot too, except when I don't have the wanted entity onscreen ofc.

Thanks god there is a confirmation sound indicating you had something under the cursor when Q-ing

From what I see in my networks, they spread 3 to 4 roboports away (all full distance roboports), so the radius is already quite large.
I also have seen that they cloud on one roboport even when there was a free roboport nearby, that lead me to the conclusion
that maybe not the radius is the problem ...

I edited my post, maybe you haven't seen when writing yours:
