Excellent work! Now hopefully the dev's see how it should have been done in the first place.

Yeah, I really dug through the treefarm code and there is very little that can be done to optimize the backend. The fact it has to scan the farm to check for trees that need to grow, plant seeds, or harvest is kind of intensive. Currently it has a 60 tick delay on any sort of processing it does. The...

Yeah, I took a look at the source code for Foreman, pretty efficient coding! Glad they used C#.

There was a bit more script debugging than just setting stuff to script.on_...

Actually there was a little more scripting involved than just simple renaming things. You might run into further script errors.

I have a fully working and tested updated version here:

Bug Fix linked in the OP. Please give feedback if it is TOO nerfed.

Yeah, the more I think about it threading it would cause almost instant desyncs. Increasing the delay, or holding all objects in a table really wouldn't work as it would still have to run eventually and cause lag. So even if it was 2 minutes, every two minutes your game would hitch. One small thing ...

So having updated treefarm lite to 12.20 I've been getting familiar with the code trying to find ways to optimize it so as not to lag games. Here's the problem, every treefarm has 49 'slots' for a seed. All the growth states of a tree are different objects as there is no in-game way for trees to gro...

That's why I updated the graphics when I took over the mod. The original version used the same sprite as the steel chest. I tried to make it stand out. The button idea wouldn't really work for an automated setup, which is what this is aimed for. Normally people just shoot a chest full of stuff they ...

That spider thing was amazing! Loved how even in the early test the movement was nice and smooth!
Phenomenal work!

How the heck did those newlines get in there? I'll double check all those files and make sure there's no funny business going on. There are a lot of characters that are still wrong. I don't speak Polish, so I'm not sure if the translations are correct, if you want to update those files I would be ha...

Exactly why something like this would be handy. If the author can't remember the crafting chains for things, how much hope does a new player have? Make the barrier to entry as easy as possible. Lots of people like figuring this stuff out on the fly, but many others will want some sort of aid if they...

I'm a YouTuber who really picked up steam when I decided to play Factorio on camera. I've been playing for months now and absolutely love the game. While my channel isn't dedicated to Factorio, it will be a major part of it. I was more than happy to buy the game and support the devs and have a passi...

Bob, what did you think of my idea of a large "Hive Mind" sort of goal? When I say the enemies get tougher I really mean a LOT tougher. Which would require the player to build ever encroaching outposts to stem the tide as they would be constantly raiding once you got within a certain radiu...

It would be nice to have a mod request forum for those people who have ideas but no programming prowess.

Someone like me who wants to do this for a living wouldn't mind trying to fill needs of the community.

Has someone made a flowchart to map all inputs and outputs this mod has and which machine they are used and made in? I know it would be a COMPLETE mess to put everything on one master sheet, but separating them out by end-product would be helpful for those who want to try the mod but feel overwhelme...

I always hoped for a sort of Hive Mind central enemy base that you'd have to bring down that would spawn randomly some distance away from your starting location that would have ever increasing density and difficulty of enemies as you get closer to it. Bringing that down would be the ultimate end gam...

Updated and moved the mod. Now has a custom image so you don't accidentally place items in it.

I updated this mod awhile back as the original author was busy. He recently gave me permission to keep it alive and call it mine. So, here it is, a fully updated version of the Void Chest. A simple object, now with a custom image that destroys everything placed inside it, instantly. Tested and worki...

Try this mod, same thing, works with 12.20:
