What data structures does factorio use?

Post by autobot »

I'm interested in game development and I was wondering what data structures does factorio use in order to have so many moving items constantly being updated every frame? Binary tree, map, etc.? Is there anywhere on this site where I can read up on that sort of information?

You need mainly to read the Factorio Friday Facts. See in the News board. Just begin from the beginning. :)
Cool suggestion: Eatable MOUSE-pointers.

Ones I've read being mentioned: fixed size arrays, lists, somekind of location dependent structure.
