Some things that didn't help: iperf to test UDP. ( iperf3 --bandwidth 50M --udp --reverse --client iperf.he.net ) Both machines get 29.5 Mbps if I request 100, and go to 100 if I request more than 100. I don't understand this difference. But it's the same on both machines. Trying the same wifi card ...

Drivers: I had all drivers from the motherboard's website, but let Windows do the video card. (Since my priority was to test Factorio multiplayer.) I've since found slightly newer drivers from AMD/Realtek/Intel, and Nvidia's 436.48, but it didn't improve things. Capping Ethernet at 10 Mbps makes it...

From here I'd throw in a guess that you probably might have skipped chipset and etc drivers installation. Contrary to popular belief that OS should handle it by itself I think nobody should leave this unchecked. I did install them, from USB before I even let the computer go online. But I can try re...

What kind of game settings are you using that you need multiple smelters like that before blue science ?!?

I can't answer this without validating your behavior, which I won't do. You make too many posts and at least 1/3 of them are insulting someone.

The FFF claims "worker robots are a good motivation and reward for unlocking Chemical science pack" but I disagree. Motivation is for things in sight, not something far over the horizon. It already took so long to unlock them that Nanobots is one of the most popular mods. Now it takes long...

I just realized. If oil is so frustrating that they're willing to break 1/2 the early game over it, maybe they should just let players walk through pipes. What's really causing the frustration, hm?

Please, don't make silly comparisons. Trains only need stone, steel, green circuits and basic engines. While conbots also need lubricant and batteries, and 45 red circuits per roboport to actually use them. (And personal roboports need 50 blue science.) Ingredients aren't the point; if techs were a...

I wonder how many first time players actually use robots, too. I certainly didn't use them first time around, I didn't even know they exist and I had no idea that I need the storage chest for them. These things are better nowadays, but still. They are a powerful tool but completely optional. I used...

I think it would make more sense to move sulfur and batteries to after chemical sci too. Only affects accumulatiors. Cliff Explosive, batteries for Modular Armor, Rockets. I'm not sure rockets will ever be good, but with Laser Turrets pushed farther, they may fill a niche for long-range attacks tha...

There is no way to get blue science quickly. Either we can have construction bots before it, or we can't. I fear Wube isn't getting enough feedback on this, because it's happening in the same FFF as far more controversial changes to Basic Oil. Of course they don't get feedback about it anymore. Onl...

So, how feasible would it be to hand-craft the blue science required for construction robots (and pre-requisites) ? Not at all, for three reasons I can think of. There isn't going to be any workaround. Plastic & Engines can't be hand-crafted. Blue Science, Red Circuit, and Engine are slow . We'...

Construction Bots are in green science for a reason, and this shouldn't change. Least of all as a mere side-effect of trying to make oil easier. Blue science is large, as is the infrastructure to support it. Building it after bots vs. before is a big difference. Players who want to rush the bots and...

ModMyFactory is not compatible with Factorio versions 0.17.0 to 0.17.8 due to a bug affecting those versions. If you want to use ModMyFactory with Factorio 0.17 you have to use a version from 0.17.9 onward. Factorio 0.16.51 and older versions also work. I hope this isn't complaining, but as a poten...

Inserters -- and other things, but I'll stick to inserters -- can be connected to both the logistic and circuit networks at the same time. "Disable" has priority. If either network disables it, it is disabled. This works, but the UI is confusing. It shows you the circuit network, unless yo...

- 1-5 for Left Side Items. - Shift(hold) + 1-5 for Right Side Items - X to get another Page. - X(hold) + 1-5 for Pages 1-5 - Shift(hold) + X(hold) + 1-5 for Pages 6-0 Maybe that is something for you? X is hard to press like that, and treating it as a modifier key is unusual. If i had to bind someth...

I don't like it. Players have been trying to get developers to stop using the right side of the board for important keys for decades. You must realize why it's wrong; you made the 1-5 and Shift 1-5 before. But something changed, and now you're delivering the same 1-0 keys that everyone knows are bad...

This "controversy" only exists because of forum limitations: the inability to disagree quietly . On reddit, I can downvote without replying. I can reply without quoting. And when I reply, it doesn't make a copy of the post I'm disagreeing with, sending it back into the thread again for eve...

Bold added - Which, again, just proves my point that the primary criteria, and basically only valid one you're accepting here, is that the item replacing rails must be used generally like rails. This has nothing to do with tech level, cost, production complexity, theme fit. Those criteria don't act...

As the smelting recipe change, I am proposing the following: - Iron plate, copper plate, stone brick: 3.2 - Steel: 16 That would mean exactly 48 stone furnaces per yellow belt, which is the number that people already build, but some of the last ones flicker with inactivity in 0.16, now all of them ...
