I reran the dave's benchmarks and the variance was eliminated. I think it was some windows background process that hurt that one run in particular. For funzies I reran the bench on my Linux install: avg_ms DaveMcW 0.367 0.365 0.356 quyxkh 0.523 0.522 0.545 I do think we're comparing too many variabl...

I took both of the top contenders maps and resaved them in 0.16.18, completely vanilla, and replaced daves unloader station with infinity chests. Then I benchmarked the maps for 60000 ticks. 3 runs later these are the results. DaveMcW Clocked inserters _ update 16.18.zip 0.3491 0.3053 0.2939 quyxkh....

I've also switched to RSO but with custom settings that bring the ore freq/size in line with my .15 settings. The .16 update seems to bring the ore gen to be wayyy more scarce, so much so that it breaks my evil plan. The size of water seems to be a bit bigger as well.

Note: also occurs on 5s and 1m power statistics window, and logistics contents window (L) Occurs significantly more frequently among networks or screens where activity is occurring, but still occurs among logistic networks with no change (no bots flying, same items in network) Video analysis on a st...

Works on main menu and ingame, tested a few other (but not all) tooltips but those killed themselves correctly.

It looks like I was wrong about productivity modules. They are basically tied with speed modules when you have 7+ beacons. They become increasingly more effective with the number of both speed beacons and module slots. So on a miner with 3 modules they are definitely more effective than speed beaco...

Some quick notes. All but #1 will lose some beacon range on the miners when the design is actually expanded to work with trains (as they can't fit a 2 block gap that is misaligned to the rail 2x2 grid). By not using trains you miss measuring the performance of a more compact design requiring fewer t...

Steps to reproduce:

Load the attached save.
Attempt to pick up the combinator with the = sign
Crash

Occurs at both OC and stock clocks

I've tried both .\factorio.exe --benchmark reference.zip --benchmark-ticks 1234 > test_result.txt .\factorio.exe --benchmark reference.zip --benchmark-ticks 1234 | tee test_result.txt In powershell and cmd. Nothing but 0 byte files. Of course I wouldn't be surprised if this is just windows being fud...

In this case I tested with worker robot speed 17. When bots return to the player after completing a job, if the player is moving, they can get stuck outside the charging range of the player. According to https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=49367 This is intended behavior. However, a...

Unfortunately output redirection seems broken on Windows at the moment.

Example: No output is redirected to testfile.txt

As a note this does work on Linux
