btw I tried it again and got the exact same error 8-) Ah, damn, guess these integers might be too big for any printf() format, sorry :( Guess I'll test it better locally this time and come up with something more likely to work in your game. game eats 13GB in main menu and 16GB after loading savegam...

Also, to be fair, loading an 8-hour game here with a more modest collection of 37 mostly quality-of-life mods, factorio takes 1.7G actual and 3.2G virtual memory (allocated, but not necessarily ever used) here, so guess 4-8G might be normal for more extensive and more content-heavy mod collection.

kinda off-topic... currently running 88 mods on my biggest map yet, and the game hasn't crashed after 12 hours. but eats like 16GB RAM :shock: I think that's likely to be a memory leak in one of these mods, as I doubt anything in lua code can actually use 16G of data and don't lag horribly while do...

Forgot that zip files can be used in mod dir as-is, so didn't think that its name would matter, my bad. You did rename it correctly though, but quick and dirty serialization code for that export command couldn't handle chunk offsets used in your game. (used %d serialization for json keys, which can'...

Save and mod list would do the same btw, but it's a bit of work installing all that, and I hope that maybe running such command on your end might be simplier.

Issue seem to be that "ChunkMap[forest.chunk_key]" lookup returns nil, while (a) forest.chunk_key can only be derived from ChunkMap, and (b) nothing is removed from ChunkMap, only added (as new sectors get scanned), so this lookup should never fail. But (b) is not actually true, as zones.r...

Thanks for reporting, I'll look into it.
Forest-picking logic with cache in that place had a problem or two already.

As a person maintaining a unit-related mod , definitely love new fixes! Biter-specific destructive pathing have been a problem for adding anything peaceful in particular. One thing I'd love to have that wasn't mentioned is having something like .light on units - to have units emit light, which can d...

Feel like it's more credit to a fun combination of mods you've discovered than design of this one, as all these faction dynamics weren't supposed to be there :) Added Diplomacy and Rampant to the mod suggestions list on the mod page with a link to that story post. Seem to be a good mode for those wh...

Based on the messages Rampant AI mod announces, only the wisp_attack is noted as being hostile. Ah, fair enough, guess it respects force settings then and should be perfectly compatible, which is probably also why there shouldn't be a need for any force-related compat options in its API. And indeed...

I think the culprit is Rampant AI mod. I get an announcement that a wisp faction is attacking Yeah, that mod seem to add a bunch of factions and might be then managing all non-player ones equally, esp. since it seem to clearly announce that it does. As also mentioned under "Technical Details&q...

But every now and then, they would suddenly charge at my defenses and attack whatever they reach first. When in this state, my defenses activate and kill it. If you update to just-released 0.0.50, there's now console command "/wisp incidents" to place red labels with timestamps on the map...

It's a bit weird, as they shouldn't be naturally aggressive, and only become such in the "retaliation radius" around wisp unit (yellow/red/green) killed by non-UV - UV damage doesn't count as player attacks, but bullets, running things over (cars, tanks, trains), fire (burning forests), e...

My cases are in the game where I do not have a full solid wall of defenses yet, just groups of 2 or 3 turrets, mostly filled with the red piercing ammo, some yellow ammo. Yeah, yellow ammo might be the issue. Even though chance of replication is 20% per hit, that ammo does 5 damage, so with 30hp, i...

Thanks. They haven't been a problem at all for me, prehaps mostly because I almost never bumped into them - default chance for these to spawn on the map is tiny 1%, i.e. 1 wisp out of every 100 spawned. And then for them to be a nuisance you'd have to start killing wisps in their vicinity, which gen...

Thank you for providing a blue option, it's very hard for me to tell yellow and green used here apart.
And pretty sure in dark conditions they're almost indistinguishable even to a color sampler tool in gimp.

Thank you both for such quick responses and support.

As I'll probably end up adding hacks like swapping entities depending on desired cease-fire state for now anyway, 0.17.0+ might be good place to get rid of them in the mod as well, along with other necessary updates.

I don't see this as a bug. They attack anything that gets in their way when they're trying to path somewhere unless its something on their force. It's not that they're aggressive towards it or not - it's just in the way and it's how they get around the thing in the way. If they didn't do that they ...

I think inability to path to destination would be easier to work around in lua than attacking things at random. I.e. when command fails for some units, handle it in lua by either giving move command in a different direction, attack command, or whatever else. Instead of doing a different thing - atta...

I'm working on a mod which adds mostly non-aggressive units (which will retaliate though) and wanted to order groups of them to move around player's base. But that does not work as units bump into infrastructure and randomly start attacking it, even though both their and player's force are on cease ...
