If every byte was set to the true 64-bit integer (1 decellion), this game would need ~200 TB of memory. So that is why these practical values exist. I have no idea where you got that number from. If you were to use a 64bit integer instead of a byte for the tile id, you'd need 8 times as much memory...

That's quite a save
Probably mostly empty chunks I bet, I can't load it after all. Reminds me, could be worth for OP to try and trim the map.

Largest base that is actively played I have seen on the forum is the azembog with 100 gig ram.

Oh my... I kinda want to see that one

The game doesn't track if mods were used on a save, only if they're currently active.

Huh interesting. But isn't that as much cheating as is using console commands? I mean mods can do what the console can do, right? IMHO mods should get recorded permanently as well.

Want to share your map? Maybe your save is just too big, my game is running at ~3GB for py. Although at the loading screen it goes up to 6.

Excess wood? Sound like a typical case of "put into chest and destroy chest"

You can't get Steam achievements on a modded world. However there are local game achievements per game, and those are not prevented by mods. If you give a look at the top part of the modded world achievements windows, it should be written. I think you misunderstood, I mean when you when I remove th...

I noticed that when loading a modded world without any mods, it seems like steam achievements are enabled, at least it shows I'm on track for "Massproduction 3". Do achievements get reenabled when you load a modded world without mods? Because that seems like a bug, you could just cheat in ...

Constructed a script for you: /c results = {} for _, surface in pairs(game.surfaces) do local entities = surface.find_entities_filtered({type = "car"}) for _, ent in pairs(entities) do table.insert(results, "Found car on "..surface.name.." at "..ent.position.x.." ,...

You can do it indirectly though, by having an external program to communicate with. Clustorio does that, although it doesn't look easy.

That's due to scaling isn't it? I don't think you can avoid that.

It's an issue with map view, BTW...

At the edges you mean? That's a feature, not a bug.
There's mods to remove it though.

Is it possible to create a combinator with more than one input connection point or more than one output connection point? Or is it limited to having different red and green outputs?

Compact circuits does it, so it has to be doable one way or another. Maybe you could look there for inspiration.

I thought it was about file sizes as well. And since zstd ist so much faster, you can run it at higher settings for the same time and get smaller saves basically for free.

Well, you're testing the fasted settings of the compression alorithms, no? What are the results with e.g. zlib -9 vs zstd -9? It only becomes interesting if you're not IO bound, I think. Especially for MP download saves, IMHO. One more thing, it's still chunked into levelXYZ.dat, right? I do believe...

All with the same error? Does that imply that you played for 30 hours without ever loading those saves, or did they use to work?

Just to add, there is no way for anyone without the code (and probably quite a bit of knowledge) to do anything about issues like that. I wish I could help, but unless it's a modded issue, no dice. Do you keep previous saves? I personally always save once in a while under a new name, to prevent issu...

Can you share the save? That is pretty weird.
