And no user-mode process can force modern OS to reboot without having chance to write something in the log. And it never hurts to run hardware test to be sure. For example, i used faulty RAM for 3 months having zero issues but occasional reboots once in a 1-2 weeks of uptime and a force-closing Fire...

Windows logs power failure event after booting up if it finds unclean shutdown. Doesn't mean there is something wrong with the power supply unit, means it couldn't for any reason write clean shutdown code on primary storage. Can be a disk/controller failure, and it 100% happens if you pull the plug ...

What mouse scroll wheel options you are using in the OS? I want to know how much lines/pages scroll per tick, and a model of your mouse, if that is not a secret.

Any minidumps created after sudden reboots by the system? You can check system log for more information if Windows discovered critical issue and halted. Alternatively, if it haven't caught anything, it will complain about power failure.

Alien water of Factorio is also bothering me from the beginning. Water vapor with specific heat at 0.214 KJ/(kg*K) is something out of this universe. (It should be more among the 1.93 KJ/(kg*K)). Otherwise, if 1 liter of steam doesn't weight 1 kg, where boiler loses other 27 liters of water it uses?

I think A & B & D | A & C & D | E & F | G will be parsed by the game as (((((A & B & D) | A) & C & D) | E) & F) | G . No, the game parses first all ANDs, and then all ORs. A | B & C | D = A | (B & C) | D OK, you're right: https://forums.factorio.com/v...

If i remember correctly, normal windows triple-buffered on Windows 10 by default, but they can choose their poison if you disable some window style flag. Something related to NC area rendering so borderless windows usually don't have it. Enable vsync, force triple buffering for OpenGL applications i...

Counterargument — green bar represents condition fulfillment and it usually helps to have same GUI elements to behave consistently across application.

I love the new train GUI and I hate it. It looks much better and the drag & drop and visual progress indicator will both be super useful. However, the "and" and "or" operations are confusing as ever. I think they are supposed to be parsed from top to bottom without any prece...

Iron along with steel are very robust construction materials, copper have mostly electrical and chemical usages.

It's the same as asking why we don't use stone as much as iron. (Answer: We're not an ancient Maya civilization.)

I have some doubts about completely replacing toolbar with quickbar. For example, i'd make toolbar slots act as inventory if they don't have a filter set and as shortcuts if they filtered, it might make system overly dynamic for some people, but i think this is the ultimate solution. Although trying...

Hashes are prone to unexpected collisions, counters are not. For example, train id currently is 32 bit field, so if we want to pack 4 unit types in trains up to 16 units long we would have 16 train configurations per hash, since compression functions aren't magical. No one, probably, could exhaust a...

Well, we can have a lot of optimizations here and there, but from my viewpoint it's a waste of resources. 6-7 ring buffers, moving values every tick for every machine while current system can shutdown entire blocks of machines wasting only a few cycles checking wake up conditions per entire group. I...

Looking nice, but seems to be a performance nightmare, just imagine, how much of sampling data game has to keep in case of a somewhat large factory. Megabases would be slowed down to a crawl, again :) For trying out different setups without hassle of factory-building i usually use the Factory Floor ...

I'm using windows 7, I thought I made it clear I was using windows, why would unix/linux stuff be useful to me? Because in general, *nix command-line tools are better/more useful/more fully featured than windows only tools. (Quite a few *nix commandline tools have windows ports. If you haven't used...

Devs have a vision of their game and building it according, they also consult with community on dubious moments and fix bugs. They even extend modding API regularly, so we can implement our dreams better and with better performance, what are you else asking them for? The bots are okay as they are be...

Well, only temporarily, until that said robots queue for the charging. Then it becomes even worse, and increasing number of roboports in attempt to make more charger ports also makes it worse, only lowering amount of bots actually helps (obviously). Was that the slow part?

Green network condition disables routing to storage if there is not much input to saturate the output. Everything else is storage balancer, usually used in train loading/unloading stations to ensure maximum loading/unloading speed - by disabling unloading from chests that have less items than rest o...

How about "Draw a line of buildings(belts, pipes)"? Just like you do a straight line in the any graphical editor.

Bonus points if it slightly snaps to right angles.

Yup, i'd also wait for better time to even think about fixing this stuff.
