After completely changing my base to bot-only, the game seems to be in slow-motion mode,
walking is very slow even with 6 exoskeletons, trains accelerate like turtles.
I play on a laptop, Intel I7-4720 2.6Ghz, not the slowest, but of course not as fast as a desktop.
I somewhere read that factorio is allready multi-threaded, but observing the task-manager, only one
of the four cores is really used, the rest is sleeping all the time.
It seems I reached the limit for my computer@one core, which is fine, had a lot of fun with this game and no regrets.
Question is, for what version may I come back, as I think multi-threading will be inevitable in the future of the game?
Slow motion play after changing to bot-only base
Re: Slow motion play after changing to bot-only base
by pressing f4 you can enable your fps/ups and time stats, so you can see where it is bottlenecking

The problem might be that you have 1 large bot Network?
Re: Slow motion play after changing to bot-only base
I guess it's just the plain amount of bots, there're 70,000 Bots available and 30-60,000 are working at the same time as I do everything from melting to rockets at the home base.D1ze20 wrote:The problem might be that you have 1 large bot Network?

Are they all in one Network, if you sepparate the networks to maximum of 5000 bots you gain lots of ups, like dropoffstations and smelting arrays should be sepparated as one, and manufacturing should be separated aswell.Guenni7 wrote:I guess it's just the plain amount of bots, there're 70,000 Bots available and 30-60,000 are working at the same time as I do everything from melting to rockets at the home base.D1ze20 wrote:The problem might be that you have 1 large bot Network?

Yes, it's one big Network in one big Base, that was the ideaD1ze20 wrote: Are they all in one Network, if you sepparate the networks to maximum of 5000 bots you gain lots of ups, like dropoffstations and smelting arrays should be sepparated as one, and manufacturing should be separated aswell.

To seperate into different small networks would need a complete rebuild of everything I've built,
I think I will pass on that one.
But thanks for your suggestions, maybe I will start over one day and then I can use the info.
