Custom scenario pauses every few minutes

Post by patfly »

Greeting, oh wise ones.
I've set up a simple custom scenario, and while playing it will pause/lockup for a few seconds every 2-3 minutes.
It almost seems like the game is doing an autosave. Any idea what is going on here and any way to correct this?

That is autosave. In the latest experimental branch there's a popup to say its saving.

You can modify the frequency of the autosaves, which end up taking more and more time as the world grows.

Thanks- that's what I thought it was, so I dialed AS down to every 30 mins. Seems to be working. How big is the CS world?

depends on how much you generated. i got my to 100Mb by joking around
Factorio is a game about automating everything. One day, i hope i can automate shitty signatures just like this one.
