Factorio Forums

I play the factorio modpak seablock pack 0.2.11. I'm also developing a mod. When developing, I ran into the following problem: when I use the "choose-elem-button" for recipes (elem_type = "recipe"), the game freezes for 1-2 seconds when you hover over the "choose-elem-button" when the recipe is complex. For example a rocket silo recipe.
When I point the cursor at it the game freezes for 2 seconds. Maybe it's worth it to revise the display option tooltip for choose-elem-button.

To reproduce the error, you can use the old version of FNEI installed in the seablock pack.
Steps:
1) Open FNEI (ctrl + E)
2) Choose rocket silo 3) Click the "craft" button 4) Hover the "elem-choose-button" with the rocket silo recipe in the upper left corner

Thanks for the report however that's working correctly. Simply you've got a set of mods that produces a "total" of crazy amounts of items/fluids and it takes quite some time to do the calculation of "how much of what does it take".

You've gone beyond what can the current system can reasonably handle and will have to cut back on some of the recipes if you want it to perform better.

Can't you memoize the function that calculates the "total raw" numbers? You'd have to (at least partially) throw away the cached data when new recipies are unlocked...meh. But given how often these numbers are shown during gameplay it seems like they shouldn't be recalculated every single time the mouse is moved.
