Question about accumulators...

[Pagan_PL]

Hello!

I decided to turn power source from steam generators to solar pannels completly. I'm 170 hours in and until now my accumulators was disabled most of the time because of steam gen. My problem is - when my 1300 accumulators starts distributing energy I'm experiencing lags (or stutter) every 1-2 second. I performed several things: In Envidia panel disabled anisotropic filtering and all unused options such antialiasing, best performance (not quality) and maximum power consumption for Factorio (not adapt). Also in the game shadows on low , video memory on ALL. in the lower and lowest graphic option everything works like a charm .

My question is: It is possible to turn off the accumulators animation when they working? That lags is because of that bzzzt ' ing animation.

Any advices guys? Also I don't thing I have THAT BIG base.

Regards,

If you're playing solo you could just use a mod that does

Code: Select all

data.raw.accumulator["basic-accumulator"].charge_animation.frame_count = 1
data.raw.accumulator["basic-accumulator"].discharge_animation.frame_count = 1

Thank You very much, but I found another solution - what completly solve the problem is by slow down the animation of charge and disharge animation. So for any of You guys having same problem, it;s enough to enter the main game - data - base - prototypes - entity - entities. Then open the file and search for charge and discharge animation and change it up to 0.1 or even 0.01. It is enough for me when I see a static picture of charging accumulators than Thy lags

Hope I helped.

Edit: by the way, if You using any other mods ex VanillaEX You must do the same within the rar file of VanillaEX.

Edit 2 : Your solution is better, that line of code is even near. Thank You again VERY MUCH!

Don't change base game files, that'll cause sadness upon update.

Try to disable sound - might be a lot of bzzzt sounds playing also.

Problem solved - few days ago I had disabled the vertical sync both in the nvidia panel and in the game. Everything is perfect now

The think is or rather was that I turned fraps when game was laggy but fraps shows all the time 60 fps - even when lags occured. That was strange but VS solved the problem.
