A problem solver type of person can easily just stop playing because it is too much for them. Did you have a brain fart writing that? What kind of "problem solver" just throws up their arms and quits when faced with A PROBLEM TO SOLVE ? Being able to solve a problem because it seems like ...

And I crashed a third time at the same place by just rerolling again. I'd guess that it crashes depending on the mapgen settings, since speedrunners would have found this problem long ago if it weren't. I'm using the following map exchange string: >>>eNpjYBBkMGEAgtWrtOyB2I6DJTk/MYeB4YADDHMl5xcUpBbp5...

And I crashed again, this time after clicking on the reroll button. As far as I can read the log, the crash seems to have happened both times in MapPreviewGenerators::MapPreviewWorker::computeEntities, but that could be just me misinterpreting the log.

I rerolled some maps while the preview was open, and first lowered the Terrain->Moisture->Bias, then rerolled some more, than raised the bias to 0.0 (or close to it, I may have missed and landed on +-0.05). Crash happenend the moment I let go of my left mouse button. I sadly can't reproduce it :( Th...

All items in editor mode replenish automatically after you use the last one in your inventory. Red & green circuit wire and copper cables do not do that if you use them to connect two unconnected things. How to reproduce: - start a new game - type /editor - give yourself two power poles and 1 of...

Thanks, I didn't think that 2. or 3. will get resolved fast if at all. I mostly mentioned them for completeness

There are three special virtual signals (the wiki calls them logic singnals) that should to my knowledge only be seen in the settings of things connected to the circuit network: "signal-everything", "signal-anything" and "signal-each". Place down a constant combinator a...

One idea that came to my mind when reading the marketing thing: I have seen multiple streamers doing what amounts to "paid" streams, where they play a specific game as a promotion for it. This of course doesn't mean that this is always a good choice - you don't want them to just say that t...

I think I should try to make my stuff more publicly known... Cars on belts is a quite fascinating topic, and only very few people actually ended up doing more than the absolute basics with it. And then there is me... https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/264391524475731968/569741188911857666/unknow...

Let me explain what is happening here, since it's not intuitive, but also very unlikely to be changed: Inserters perform rather expensive calculations which is why the results of many of those are saved rather then recomputed every time they're needed. Two of these results are the entity an inserter...

Breaks once it fills up, since there isn't enough output throughput to get rid of the excess that accumulated due to stutter. I think you could fix that somehow by putting a controlled belt segment to stop input into the measurement device once it became full, with a priority splitter on the ouptut...

Actually your definition of broken does not match my definition. Unless I'm missing something, that design will still function at least as well as it did in 0,16. If it was capable of loading 40 items per sec, it should still load at least 40 items per sec (perhaps even 41 or 42). So hardly broken,...

Yes it is, if the value is a constant 8 it's full througput, if thoughput isn't full than it will fall to 7 or below. No that is detecting that the belt is full. That says nothing about throughput on the belt. Admittedly I've never needed to measure throughput as such, so I'm not sure when it would...

I also wonder if this build will still work https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/382897902583808002/530805134436073483/unknown.png 0eNrlWduOozgQ/Rc/Q2SbcEk0O78w0u6+rUbIAXdiDRhkTGuyLf59bTyh08EkBnp7RpqnbrCpy6k6VRX7BRyKltaCcQn2L4BlFW/A/p8X0LAjJ4V+J881BXvAJC2BBzgp9RP9XgvaNL4UhDd1JaR/oIUEnQcYz+l3sEed9...

The point isn't that it's possible with pulse mode, but that this change removes a possibility that was there before. Deciding on full throughput is much easier than trying to count the pulses for 32 ticks, see my other answer While it might make an old method of detecting throughput obsolete, it m...

As someone who is heavily using circuits I also see nearly no benefit of getting a constant amount of items per belt piece on fully compressed belts - how would that help with anything? Trying to detect full throughput with read mode is now completely impossible, since you will never notice stutter...

Trying to detect full throughput with read mode is now completely impossible, since you will never notice stutter in a constant value - whereas before you could look at the fluctuations and decide upon those (not pretty but possible). Would watching for "read mode's been stable for at least X ...

As much as I'd like the furnace speed change (since faster furnaces mean less furnaces for the same throughput), I don't like the belt speed change at all. As someone who is heavily using circuits I also see nearly no benefit of getting a constant amount of items per belt piece on fully compressed b...

I have paging enabled, and 18 GB of RAM. (And given the hard lock, I was running from a fresh start to test, so pretty much the full amount was available) That would be a convenient explanation but I highly doubt it was able to hit more than double what the median of high-end gaming PCs have. It wa...

While writing my tutorial on entity movement mechanics, I stumbled on the following bug that violates rotational symmetry: Cars and tanks that are placed facing north (orientation = 0) have a collision box that is 1/256 larger on each side (for a total of 2/256 per axis) when compared to their east/...
