That was super quick! It works like a charm! Thanks a bunch!binbinhfr wrote: waoo, thx guy, what would I do without these testersI forgot a little thing during my last big code change, so that newly installing the mod on an existing game was not showing the GUI...
it is corrected now, please update to 1.0.15
Bin,binbinhfr wrote:Hey Den,
thx for the positive return, always appreciated.
I had a look at the other mod "day extender".
Infact it does not really extend the length of the day, but it plays very rapidly in realtime with the game internal clock to very often freeze the clock and so give a slowdown effect. So it can create a bad interaction with my mod which is expecting a classical time flow... Can also pose problems with other time based mods.
But this is the only known trick to artificially change the length of the day, and alas, it causes major problems in multi-player.
And I (and other players) are using my mod in multiplayer... So I won't break my mod, sorry.
But to help you, I adapted the day extender and posted a new unofficial version here :
viewtopic.php?f=120&t=14509&p=182222#p182222
I also inserted a change so that you can now switch always_day mode on/off.
You can still use it, but you cannot freeze time with timetools anymore (clicking on the time button itself).
I won't split the mod in two pieces because I already have more than a dozen of mods to maintain, and the two parts of the mod are really mixed togetherNexela wrote:Hello Binbinhfr!
I have a couple of questions but first I wanted to say. You make some awesome mods! Thank you.
Any chance you could make a version of your time tools mod with just the clock combinator portion? I would like to use them in my next MP play-through but I don't want the time tools portions.
Thanks in advance and keep up the awesome work!
Thx for the appreciation. Always welcomeOtterbear wrote:Thank your for this great mod. I'm not sure how to "rate" it atm, so I just wanted you to know that I think its really cool.
There is nothing I can do about it :slaxer wrote:speeding up time stops working on my very big map with a lot of items, mostly tons of replicators.
ive removed like half of them and the time-speedup suddenly works
thats what she said!binbinhfr wrote:

The API time speed command is something like a "wish" : it says "you are allowed to run at x64 (if you can do it...)". But it does not guaranty that your machine can handle 64 times more calculations...slaxer wrote:when i cleaned up the base to lower the stress and make the mod functional again, i noticed that before the cleanup, the clock was running 64x even tho the game was only in 1x, time was affected anyways, but not the reality #tripped
Please update. I added a always_day_enabled option in the config.lua file.husky777 wrote:Hello!
can you add a version without having to switch on a constant day? in my opinion this is a little bit cheat. I think a lot of players like the function of the acceleration of time and the clock. it is the most convenient modes on this topic. But cheat time shift function is a little off-putting, I would like that it is not tempted.
wow. It happens. You really made changes to the game with a single message? Can I try to send you somewhere to their views on how to improve your mods? This may be of interest? I would like to help improve something in gratitude for responsivenes. If I can where to send the change to each mode?binbinhfr wrote:Please update.

So, you have to edit this file and change "always_day_enabled = false", then you won't be able to click on this button anymore, even if you are tempted !
If you have suggestions, you can post them in the forum and we'll see if I find them useful.husky777 wrote:wow. It happens. You really made changes to the game with a single message?

Hi, it is not the problem of my mod that only uses an API function "speed", but a problem of Factorio AND your computer : if Factorio cannot speed up more than x8, it is because it cannot do it (too big factory, or computer a bit slow). It happens also on my laptop, but not on my big desktop PC. Please try to speed up a very simple (empty) map, and you'll see that it will work.ADKrig wrote:Hi!
I think that I cant to change game speed more than 8x ((( When I clicking to speed up more than 8x actualy speed does not want to change. Changing parameter "maximum_speed" lower or higher does not help. Sometimes it will be nice to skip some time at 100x or 200x VERY fast )
Yes, it works! ) But there another question. Maybe you know how override perfomance limit? I remember that in older versions very big value of game speed gave perfomance fall, but it was not a problem. Whats about new version?binbinhfr wrote:Hi, it is not the problem of my mod that only uses an API function "speed", but a problem of Factorio AND your computer : if Factorio cannot speed up more than x8, it is because it cannot do it (too big factory, or computer a bit slow).

Override performance limit ? Well I have a solution : buy a stronger PCADKrig wrote:Yes, it works! ) But there another question. Maybe you know how override perfomance limit?
