[1.0.0] Bots no longer picking up stuff game freezing after a while

Post by Aya »

What did you do? / What happened?
I've been running this base for about 3 years I think. Last night after doing some maintenance in outposts I saved the game and went to sleep.
In the morning I noticed I was standing next to a miner that was marked for deletion but my bots weren't picking it up.
I thought this was strange but proceeded to remove it by hand. Next I took a train to another station and the game started to slow down until a point it would just lock up.
I tried reloading the save but the same thing hapened. I could place an item on the ground but my bots would not pick it up.
As a final resort I reloaded a savegame from yesterday and waited half a day to see what would happen but the same issue came up again.
I removed all mods (the only gamechanging mod is waterwell). But still the same issue would appear.
I asked someone in discord to try my save and the same thing hapened.

What did you expect to happen instead? It might be obvious to you, but do it anyway!
I was hoping to be able to place bots and the game not crashing on me :)

Does it happen always, once, or sometimes?
It keeps hapening.
This is me showing the first sympthoms: http://ayaya.be/2020-11-15_13-42-16.mkv
This is my save: http://www.ayaya.be/18-UltraRich-2020-11-15-007b.zip
This is my logfile: http://ayaya.be/factorio-current.log

Weird.
I've tried downloading the map and I get the same bug without any mods installed. (Fresh install 1.1.3)
If you mark hundreds of entities for deconstruction they do get a red cross on them, but then the red crosses quickly get removed one by one.
It even sets trains to manual when trying to deconstruct them.

(By the way, I love the consistency on the 1000 hour Production statistics)

I'd go with a bug here.. unless mod could have changed something that remains changed in saved file after mod is no longer present.

It's strange... mark trees for deconstruction near you and x's vanish quite quickly with no other reaction.

Can someone check how many ticks the save has run?

Deconstruction time to live is part of the save and something mods can adjust.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

The playtime is over 19,881 hours!!
So some quick mental arithmetic tells me that’s over 4.3 billion ticks.
