I have the same problem. Factorio only uses 20% cpu but the fps occasionally drops to 30 for 10+ seconds.
I too have a very large map and a computer that should be able to handle Factorio with no problem.

I wish i could watch the hydra dilemma, but i can't as i can't take watching all the fail that's constantly happening. Half of you don't even know how trains work... That said then i don't want the series to end. it would instead be nice if you would incorporate some improvements from this thread as...

i have the exact same problem when i use the exe to install and run factorio.

a workaround for this is to download the zip of the game instead of the exe file and run it from there.

Well the bug here isn't that wire and modules can't be placed with construction robots, but rather that factorio crashes when you place two blueprints with a wire in it on top of eachother. Should robots be able to place wires and modules? Yes ofc they should. I don't see any logical reason why they...

Bug Factorio crashes with a "facotio is not responding message". Happens every time you try to place a blueprint with a wire in it on top of the same blueprint. Steps to reproduce: - Make a blueprint with a wire in it. something like this will do: http://i.imgur.com/0GuC96j.png - Place th...

The deconstruction tool only works within the roboports construction area, so you will have to manually remove forests if you want to place bigger blueprints than that. I don't think it should be necessary to remove the forest manually while you are building when drones are already capable of removi...

Making oil outposts is something i don't like to do in facotio due to the fact that you can't easily place them underground.
implementing this idea will make oil so much more fun to get.

Bump for a good idea.
This would make sharing blueprints a lot easier for everyone.

I often find i very annoying that i have to remove huge amounts of forests, before i can plop down some random large blueprint. As robots can already remove trees it would be very nice if you were allowed to place a blueprint on top of trees and that robots would automatically remove any trees that ...

I like this idea. Having splitters and belts just to use both halves of a belt on most setups is a bit silly.

This is how i see it: Long trains can be just as fast as short trains by adding a few more locomotives so the speed isn't a factor. Not everyone uses loops, so that isn't a factor. The fuel trains uses shouldn't be a problem for most people and a good train system should never be able to make trains...

26 is the product of two primes (2 * 13)

I prefer to keep my accumulators and solarpanels apart, so the below design only has solar panels. What makes this easy to expand and reproduce is the fact that it contain robot ports in the center which allows for easy and fast contruction of similair blueprints next to it. Everything you have to d...

What I like about this mod is that it automatically clears trees in it's path, while laying down rail. Makes laying rail down much easier than having to get out of the normal locomotive to clear the trees. What I don't so much like so much is controlling how or when it makes curves. My best advice ...

Count me in on an english speaking server as well. The game is awesome when i play it by my self so it can only explode with awesomeness when playing it with other people

put the factorys like this saves you a lot of space. the furnance setup is nice. I usually go for the 3 belt setup but in the long run you save more space :) Very nice and very compact design with the factorys. Saves a lot of space and look good doing it. The reason i spaced out my factorys is that...

Thought i would share my way of using robots for everything. The factories work by limiting the output, by how much there is the in provider chest next to so it doesn't continiously produce items. Robots fly around and makes sure that every factory has what it needs and also exterminates any need fo...
