Version 0.15.9

[sebastian]

Performance goes down in this version?
in 0.15.7 all was good
in 0.15.9, same savegame, UPS is between 15.1/15.9

steam doesn't let me downgrade to 0.15.7 ...

[silvver]

Is Science Pack 3 supposed to be made with Electric Mining Drills now instead of Assembling Machine 1s? Cause that's what it looks like to me.

Yes. https://www.factorio.com/blog/post/fff-189

Only downgrade to 0.15.6 possible => other savegame of same map some hours ago, same mods => UPS is ~ 55

So there is something wrong. How could I help to solve this?

trying to dismantle a base as they move things across the map needing to charge

Bots prefer to put items in storage chests that already contain an item of that type, they'll prioritize that (to keep the storage chests organized). So if you plop down a storage chest for wood and want bots to use it, just drop a unit of wood in it. That should cause them to use the local chest.

Aww man, I ride trains with the gui open all the time but missed 0.15.8. I've not gotten a single game crash yet!

And you guys call this software not ready for release. You should really try harder then!

What is that same save in 0.15.9? (Not the save with few more hours of factory building on it)

The same savegame in 0.15.9 is ~ 17 UPS.
I have save and mod directory attached.

That is massive difference. Thanks for the save and mods, I see similar results on my computer. We will look into that.

Release the posila!

[EDIT] My Bad- looks like I just didn't understand how the chests worked.[/EDIT]
Seems like Storage Chests are majorly broken in 15.9

This might not have been an issue in 14.x but now that the yellow science pack is needed before we can get active requester chests, this bug is making the whole robot system kinda frustrating to use.

Note below, the error message saying the storage network is full.
Then note the empty storage chest
Then note the 9 construction robots sitting there with cargo.
(Note, per an earlier post I also tried putting a piece of wood in the chest - no luck)

Do you have a personal roboport? Are those potentially from a stationary logistic system?
I've had 'helpful' construction bots from an outpost remove things when my personal bots weren't enough. The result was them standing around till I put down a storage chest near the stationary roboport.

[searker]

Are you sure the chest was inside the logistics range? Note that the con-/destruction range is bigger, so you may have misplaced the chest.

[Aeternus]

Yea, that chest is outside of the orange logistics range - that's why the bots don't go for it. Move it slightly, try again.

Anyone notice any odd Biter behaviour with this version by the way? I've noticed some Biters tend to become seperated from their attack horde and just end up wandering around aimlessly while their buddies get cut down by the turrets (they are not near any Biter base, but also not near any part of my factory). Not really worth a bug report I think since it doesn't really do anything other then leave a mess of lonely biters at random places. Nothing that a few wellplaced tank shells won't solve.

[Wakaba-chan]

Will Turbine have it's own working sound? Now it uses Steam Engine's one and it's a bit odd...

[meems]

anyone know how to upgrade from v14.23 ?

Manually download the latest experimental from the website, for steam see my signature.

I've noticed some odd biter behaviour in this version.
I made a bug report for it because I had a lot of biters frozen in place on the map, that is unless my player is nearby. I was doing lots of blueprinting in the zoomed in map view around the time (which I love btw!)

EDIT:
Just checked my bug report, not only me having the same issue: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=46805#p269086

Quite excited to have finally contributed a bug to the game! I for one find them extremely rare!
