I took a look at KS Power myself some time ago, because I want the game to start with a burner generator and a research for actual steam engines so you have bit more of a progression there
Wouldn't wind turbine make more sense? In real-life it should be easier to build a turbine than a heat ...

Science Cost Tweaker is another mod that makes research take more resources and it also supports alterations to the ingredients so that it supports Bob's mods by making research bottles take various bob's ingredients.

Hm, so if I gather this correctly, if I have two parallel lines moving stuff around and I use a single splitter as a "poor man belt balancer", it'll cause relatively big slowdown compared to not having that splitter? Or will it not really be any more expensive than just a regular belt section ...

Mentioning a $900+ profiling tool doesn't help either.
Using it helps the devs for sure and I'm quite certain that one time expense for vtune isn't exactly making the devs go broke.

From my point of view your argumentation more or less translates to "you don't know what you are talking about and ...

Get it right and 2 cores will be nearly twice as fast and for something like factorio you can do 16 cores at bascialy 16 times the speed given a large enough factory.
In case you didn't notice, devs already tried multithreading in their 0.15 branch. Going from 1->4 increased performance at sub ...

AFAIK both solar panels and accumulators follow same mechanics - they work as one grouped entity if the are connected to same networks.
I don't think they do. It's possible to have accumulators with different charge in same network. You have that every time you connect a new one to the network ...

If I had to guess, I'd say he has either ordered mass-deforestation or laying down concrete.

Looks like quite similar to the problem here but it's interesting that you have it with AMD GPU

You could try if similar workarounds also work in OSX.

I should also be working right now so I can't really come up with better code either
Meh, ball-park guys... unless there is something really off, why bother? (and "coz I want to" is a valid answer :D, Don't let me stop you)
That's the problem - I *do* want to :D

I found another benchmark I'd ...

jcranmer, your cache bandwidth doesn't really seem to have too much to do with actual cache performance. Reading from L2 cache should be an order of magnitude greater, at around 300GB/s (see attached image).

I currently don't have access to a Linux machine so I can't run your code. I should also be ...

Going by your performance metrics and assuming I remember how to read the stuff, half of tick time is spent on the warehouses. It's a problem with huge inventories, game has to itereate over all the slots there when doing anything with them. A fix would be to replace them with smaller chests. I'm ...

Ah, ok. I thought you were saying you stop adding features to your mod until 0.15 is released.

I hope you know that this means more than a month of waiting at best for 0.15 to arrive plus another unspecified amount of time while Angel updates his mods as well.

Yes I love the video like sandstorm and it is cool and needs a lot of work but the 99% of the game need better performance not this
I'm fairly certain that 99% of people don't ever build bases big enough to slow down their computers. Just 5.8% of people have ever launched a rocket.
Am I guessing ...

So I had a look this morning at updates for my game take into mine the game is 64MB in size compressed
Size on disk has nothing to do with the performance in-game.

I have been removing factorissimo as I believed that was an issue over time
Yes, factorissimo doesn't scale well due to having to ...

Why are we hearing nothing about how more threads as being used, how server performance is become better and making it better for clients and servers to talk and perform at higher clock speeds 3.9Ghz+ about performance of robots and entities, e.g. running a decently modded game and being able to ...

Biggest problem with connected worlds is how to ensure they all stay synchronized.

As it stands, each player simulates actions of all other players. If you have several different worlds running in a grid, how would you verify that they're all still running in same overall state? If one server slows ...

Talking about in-game notifications, will there be some sort of log for them that we can use see past events?

As it stands, quite often I miss out on events when a ton of stuff is going on. I'd love to be able to click on some button (on map, perhaps) that opens up a list of past N events that I ...

Why don't you use TCP to downloading the map?
You will get a higher speed for high volume transfer, and won't have to take so much care in what's between the 2 end points.

I second this, TCP connection, write the whole map, it's guaranteed correct order delivery. Leave error correction and ...
