Re: Any mod that creates an underground-pipe-underground entity?

This sounds like a heresy that i saw long time ago being done by Advanced Fluid Handling mod.

Re: [1.1.109] Crash (TransportLineUpdateState::ThreadContext::alarmWakeupList)

I am not even trying to try reproduce this on my own because that specific function is about 2 lines of code long and it is used tens or hundreds of times every tick by roughly all the players. I do not believe it could be faulty with such a low crash rate. Given that there are no reproduction steps...

Re: Remove result and count from MinableProperties

Bilka made an executive decision, IngredientPrototype will no longer support short syntax. IngredientPrototype's type will be mandatory. Those changes will be released with 2.0. To not mess up with technologies, since technologies only support items they wont be using IngredientPrototype but instead...

Re: [1.1.109]The memory usage is very high

Given that this looks to be related to excessive amount of script inventories created by Mining_Drones mod, i forwarded this to Klonan.

Re: [Performance, FFF #421] Potential fix for Electric Network multi-threading issue [Good faith repost]

I think you are misunderstanding the content of the FFF. Allowing an entity to be powered by multiple electric networks is not an issue preventing electric network multithreading - it is just a cause of shared state that requires me to perform some additional checks to group multiple such electric n...

Re: [1.1.107] Game not throwing an error when adding functions in global table

Thanks for the report. I will end the graceful period of silently ignoring functions inside of `global` with the release of 2.0

Re: Remove result and count from MinableProperties

I am not touching item ingredients because it creates insane amount of diffs around cost in technology prototype. If you have good arguments maybe other dev would do it.

Re: Bad Cargo Wagon Performance in Vanilla

All rolling stock when built are part of some train, even if there are no locomotives in it. Having unconnected cargo wagon still causes some extra trains to exist and trains are updating every tick even when in manual mode because movement of trains is part of its update: if you have moving train a...

Re: [1.1.109] Spidertron firing more rockets than needed

Thanks for the report, however based on current knowledge this is working as intended. There is a 10% margin on the estimated damage to be taken before entity is considered "will die, no need to shoot anymore". This 10% margin is to make sure there are no floating point errors causing enti...

Re: Friday Facts #377 - New new rails

That is Curved-A rail. It can be told by the direction of rail at its ends: Curved-A connects straight with "22.5" when Curved-B connects "22.5" with 45deg. From code point of view having even+odd causes absolutely no new problems. Game engine is already well prepared to handle t...

Re: Friday Facts #377 - New new rails

How can the new new rails follow the rule of only being built on a 2x2 grid if the individual puzzle pieces are an odd numbers of tiles tall & wide? There are no contradictions there. Entity being buildable on 2x2 grid means that the entity snaps to positions that repeat every 2 tiles in X and ...

Re: [1.1.107] Desync when using request_to_generate_chunks

Ok so the investigation revealed that this is indeed a game bug. There are effectively 4 moving pieces involved here: requesting to generate multiple chunks, forcing them to generate "now", changing tiles inside of on_chunk_generated event and value reported by `std::thread::hardware_concu...

Re: [1.1.107] Desync when using request_to_generate_chunks

Interesting, using 1.1.109 and running on two machines with i9-14900k and i7-5820k there is a desync happening, with reproduction steps working it should be possible to investigate what causes this.

Re: [1.1.107] Desync when using request_to_generate_chunks

I am trying to reproduce this issue using windows+linux pair, i see the script running as it places shallow water in place of regular water however i see no desyncs happening, force_crc() is not throwing any desyncs and changing map gen settings does nothing.
