So even if I'm using 32-bit color, there's probably still some 16-bit conversion going on during texture compression?
That is correct.

Re: Why do my lab tiles have noise in the texture?

Given how GPU texture compression works (https://www.reedbeta.com/blog/understan ... n-formats/) and that we don't do it offline but at startup as fast as possible, #303030 -> #313031 artifact doesn't surprise me.

Re: Why do my lab tiles have noise in the texture?

My guess is due to low quality texture compression or having full color depth option disabled (neither of which causes this on my end), and due to your particular GPU or graphics driver.

Not that the request is invalid, but in your particular case, since you seem to create the entity through the script anyway...

Re: [None] Upcoming breaking mod changes

In 1.1.50 we will remove ReactorPrototype::neighbour_collision_increase and LuaEntityPrototype::neighbour_collision_increase. Reactor entity won't extend its bounding box towards connected neighbour anymore.

Re: animation_speed doesn't affect corpse animation

Some entitite (turrets being other example that comes to my mind) have <action>_speed properties, in which case, the animation playback speed depends solely on this *_speed property.

1 / <action>_speed = duration of the <action>

Re: [1.1.48] Entity with "water-tile" collision also collides with rails

Rail also has "water-tile" collision mask by default: https://wiki.factorio.com/Prototype/Ent ... ision_mask, so this is not a bug.

Hello, you can buy new(er) computer. Almost anything from the past 10 years will at least launch the game.

Re: factorio.exe goes missing from x64 file

It's also impossible for exe to delete itself on Windows. Running executable is locked for any modifications by OS, so it has to be deleted externally.

Re: [1.1.48] Logistic network information doesn't update

Those items are in trash slots of your character. The character is inside the logistic network area, so the trash items are part of the logistic system content.

Re: High UPS, Low FPS

Hmm, something is really bad since Render preparation is spiking to over 1 second. It is highly multithreaded task (can use all the cores) and it shouldn't take more than 10 milliseconds on zoom levels that the game normally allows. Can you also make a screenshot with just show-gpu-time-usage enable...

Re: [1.1.46] Crash intermittently on start loading graphics

Rseding might have gotten logs mixed up, it is using Direct3D and you have Intel integrated GPU (which technically still is APU, I suppose). The crash happend in Intel graphics driver, in it's own thread, which is completely outside of our control. Your driver version is pretty recent, but there are...

Re: [1.0] FPS drops with high 'wait for update' time

In multiplayer, the game will run multiple updates between rendering, if it starts falling behind the server.
