[MOD 0.18] Robot Army. v0.4.4

[depeter]

True, enemy resistances would affect things quite a bit too! Some of Bob's high-end elemental enemies have no flat bullet-resistance, and while none seem to have flat laser-resistance, most do have some percentage-based laser resistance, so that's another point in favour of mixing the unit types.
In vanilla, 8 flat resistance against bullets would significantly reduce even fully upgraded SMG DPS, but considering the difference in production cost, mixing it up also does indeed seem like a good idea.

[kyranzor]

The changes to rocket bots means they can alpha-strike big biters to death, and wear away at behemoths if there are no terminators near-by. The large damage can get minimized a little by percentage based explosive resistance, but for the most part they deliver many hundreds of damage in one hit to the target. As long as the small critters are taken care of (to not waste rockets on) the rocket bots can pop most threats while the SMG guys are doing their thing.

If you haven't used the rocket bots much, try them out now. The massive damage and no friendly fire anymore means they are pretty useful.

[depeter]

Heh, for some reason I never even thought of trying out the Rocket Droid during the bit of testing I did previously (probably because using the Rocket Launcher weapon manually never really worked out well for me). I'll make sure to give them a try when I reach the required tech level!

2. druids wont go out of factory itself (i even destroyed walls) If i buildthem outside, thjey fight like they should.

3. you should probably make them smaller...?

4. if i disable your mod and load the map, no crash.... so i think its yours... but only since last update.

5. sometimes they get attacked and wont fight back...??

[kyranzor]

1. The crash may be a factorio bug itself, please submit the crash report/log/whatever you can find to the bug report forum.. if the mod causes the crash on that save, can you please try loading a different save and tell me what happens? Try starting a new game (just to see if anything crashes). If all of that seems to work except for that one save, there could be something creepy going on and only the factorio devs are able to find exactly what it is.

IF you have an error message that says something like "robot army / control.lua line x - cannot index table " or whatever, I can sort that out, but a full on game crash I have no useful way to solve it.

Can you tell me what you were doing when the game crashed? What is immediately on loading or was it just randomly while you are playing? Did you have droids "stuck" on the inside of your factory at this time? It's possible their pathfinder caused the crash after a while of not being able to find a way out?

In any case, yes please don't deploy droids inside of a walled base. You must deploy them on the front lines!

On their size, I agree and I'll play around with the scale parameter in the entities and see if I can shrink them and their collision box a little bit.

[nuhll]

It doesnt matter what i do.

Some trys i looked what the droids where doin... sometimes i was building, but it happens between 1-10 min after i load the save, you want it?

Btw already posted under technical questions...

How many druids i can use at the same time, safe?

Im not quite sure, if still some of th em are stuck inside my factoriy, but all i saw where removed. But MANY get stuck inside all the forests.....

Why does my safe are talking about directorys i dont have on my hd...?

yeah could you somehow upload the save for me to try? I wonder if it's a memory leak or if there is some droids stuck or something.. as a test (don't need to save after it or whatever) can you try killing all droids on your force using:

/c game.player.force.kill_all_units()

And see if the crash happens?

[nuhll]

Shoulnt ^ open command line?

http://www.file-upload.net/download-117 ... s.zip.html


Cnat enter the command.
Funny part is, when the crash happens the Map open automatic...

[kyranzor]

Shoulnt ^ open command line?

Use whatever key you would use to open chat in multiplayer.. then paste that command in and press enter

[nuhll]

Shoulnt ^ open command line?

I look under settings, but cant find akey for it... I never chat in MP. Bc we sit direct in front of each other...

I also tried ~

I wouldnt wonder if its not working on german keyboard layout...

I wouldnt wonder if its not working on german keyboard layout...

Haha, wow, sorry I cannot help with that. I am trying your save game now.

[nuhll]

I found out if i load the save and dont move and alt tab its running forever... (10-20 min now)

[kyranzor]

I played for 16 minutes on your save and got the crash. The game crash log looks 99% the same as yours. The interesting thing is I was watching the memory used by the program and it crashed at exactly 1860MB Memory used, shown in Windows Task Manager. This could be a game bug, with too much RAM-hungry shit (mods) going on.

I'm running it with less mods now and watching the memory usage over time.

[nuhll]

It seems to run if you dont move and dont deploy more of your units.

[kyranzor]

Okay so with only my mod, and base mod, and Misanthrope 5.1, I set up infinite droid spawning on the north base area and fixed your clockwork robot manufacturing so both were working 100% of the time, the north half of the map is almost 100% clear of biters and total play time is now 11:30, the save you sent me started at 10:50. That's 40 minutes of playing without crash, while my mod was running the whole time and droids were CONSTANTLY being deployed automatically and with myself moving around every now and then (but mostly idle, especially in the last 25 minutes).

This tells me that some other combination of mods is causing the game to crash, not specifically mine.

[xenotypex]

I have the same crash, and am sure that my previous combination of mods was not crashing until your mod was added. The crash appears to be occurring when the bots bunch up together or when they spawn on top of each other. It may also be due to the total number of bots as it does not occur when I spawn a limited number. Crash log is attached.

[nuhll]

No.

It cant be the number of bots. because if you load my game and dont add any new, it still crash at some point.

Also i had all the mods together and never had any crash UNTIL i updated the robot army mod.

But your right, they tend to attack together (which is good) but maybe this is the problem?

Okay. Then its maybe your updated mod in combination with natural evolution. Because i was using your mod a while without natural evolution and then enabled natural evolution and updated your mod...? Or its just natural evolution. Hmm. But without natrual evolution its too easy...

But like i said earlier if i dont deploy new and just idle, no crash. If i dont move and enable production again.. crash, but it takes more time...

[kyranzor]

Can you other guys getting the same crash confirm if natural evolution and or bobs enemies are active as well? I was able to get the crash without natural evolution but I did have all of the bobs mods on..

In my 40+ minutes of no crashing it was just robotarmy and misanthrope..

Factorio devs have partially acknowledged the crash on the bug report forum so maybe there is something else going in under the hood.
