Sizes are not guaranteed and code has a lot of room to go around them. Or my math is messed up somewhere in code that tires to make them not go crazy big. If you are curious (for one case I won't be playing the save game game I think) you can enable debug in config.lua and then logs will contain inf...

And starting area size is in regions and thats taken from map settings. So making region size to 21 means a huge starting area. You don't need to set it so big in map settings when planning to play with such big region sizes. Ah, ok. I guess that explains it. In my use case, I was wanting the dista...

Few notes from me: If one of mods is not supported by RSO then config needs to be added - some description of how to spawn it from mod author would be useful. Having config prepared by mod author is ideal. As for starting area size - you wrote that it changes exponentially and that sounds suspicious...

It seems that new seed option was lost on one of upgrades. When it worked it caused new seed to be randomly generated and I think I could get that back to working state easily. Entering new seed might get a bit tricky since there is a second parameter to regenerate now and I'd need to do something l...

I think that there is a note somewhere that you should not change the region size in a running game - thats because you will notice issues like this potentially. And starting area size is in regions and thats taken from map settings. So making region size to 21 means a huge starting area. You don't ...

As a host, he didn't lose that much FPS. at least that's how he says it. We have not yet tried that we have swapped and he joins as a client. Since network seems ok few additional questions: Do you have similar machine compared to host? Can you check on yours in cingle player with: /c game.speed = ...

You are so right and I mean calm. i say i have a MagentaZuhause L (2) mit TV Plus 150mb/s My Network Card can 1 GB/s max. I think that not my problem. To check if that is not your link problem grab a trace route tool - like WinMTR - and run a trace to your host ip address. You will be able to see w...

yeah, but it only happens in factorio. it said i should share it, so there you are. And also not only in factorio, it also ONLY happens while creating a preview of a map. I think that preview map generates using multiple threads so if it causes blue screens you could run some tests to load CPU and ...

Veden, any chance your recent updates to Rampant fixed the compatibility issues with mods that spawn spawners, like RSO? Not sure what the problem is. Nothing appears wrong to me. Orzelek, when you are creating entities are you calling the raise_built flag on the create entity? If so, I should be p...

Did you try to disable the integrated GPU in the APU (if thats possible?).
I'm thinking running NV and AMD GPU at the same time might not be a good thing for a PC.

Scripting

• Reworked table saving and loading to be non-recursive. This allows to have extreme table nesting inside of `global` variable.

This one looks.. interesting. Do we have mods that enjoy extreme table nesting?

Looking at the list I'd still have no idea where to put RSO. It's not an Overhaul or Content mod but I think it might chage to much to be considered a Tweaks mod.

There are factorio (and Dwarf Fortress ) benchmarks here:

DDR5 is quite new and those are first chips so it might get even better.

And I do recall Rampant working with RSO generated bases but that was long time ago. I'm pretty sure that the issue might be in the fact that RSO disables normal generation and creates the bases by hand in on chunk (and they are not confined to that chunk). Was there any chance in getting Rampant a...

From what I remember screenshot size is limited by what GPU reports as biggest available texture size.
To go bigger you'd need to make tiles and stich them later.

I've added the config and tried to load mods but was greeted by this: 3.129 Error ModManager.cpp:1577: Failed to load mod "qatmore": __qatmore__/data-updates.lua:359: attempt to index field 'action_delivery' (a nil value) stack traceback: __qatmore__/data-updates.lua:359: in main chunk It ...

Virtually any video card will do the trick for Factorio. What you need is :
- a fast CPU (prioritise high core speed instead of core number)
- A high speed (and if possible low latency) RAM.

Not any video card - take care to have decent amount of VRAM if you like lots of mods.

I think that HDR mode would work quite well with Factorio especially after all the lightning updates. And since most of that is calculated in runtime it might not need any changes from srpites. Night mode would look much better in HDR most likely. (I might be biased but I have a monitor capable of H...

Normal output is a fluid that inserter can't touch in any way.
And making sure that it's emptied might get problematic - would need to have storage for the fluid that has space and pump it out - seems a bit convoluted as workaround for inserter not ignoring fluids on output.

One of the problems I have encountered after having been a software engineer for about 25 years now is that features and fixes are billable hours, while writing tests are not billable hours. In 95% of the time I have to 'sneakily' add tests during development. Everything is a priority, everything h...
