With 2.0.48, switching to Metal backend, while making no other changes, works for me now without issue, thank you!

Yes, 128458 describes my experiences.

Using 2.0.43 w/ SA and default graphics settings, for the most part, the game runs at 60 fps.

With 2.0.47 w/ SA and default graphics settings: setting Graphics backend to Metal and texture compression to Low quality, no other adjustments required to run at 60 ...

Are there recommended settings for the use of the Metal backend on a Mac Mini M1 8GB with the Space Age DLC?

Edit:
Through more trial and error, it seems:
Reset to Graphics to the default settings
Enable Metal
Reduce video memory usage to Medium

This seems to eliminate the audio and video glitches ...

Sheesh, I had OpenGL active on the the initial reports.

This time, after making sure I have Metal enabled and a game restart, I get audio distortion on the initial load screen and a pink background at the menu.

Changing the sprite resolution from High to Medium resolves the audio and graphics ...

Upon testing with 2.0.45 and the performance is the same.

Sorry, I should have tested more with 2.0.45, not a bug.

Title updated and attached the factorio-current.log. Space Age is active.

Second attempt to post image:

I updated to the new release for Mac OS and performance has taken a step back. Attached are two screenshots (windowed and full screen) with F5 enabled showing the FPS/UPS. No 3rd party mods, Space Age, Elevated Rails and Quality only on a new map. A quick test with 2.0 only, performance was better ...

Added Metal graphics backend for Apple devices.

I just want to say thank you very much for this!

I have the same issue and also failed to find a good solution.

Edit: {Persistence}


for _, player in pairs(game.players) do
for _, root in pairs({ player.gui.top, player.gui.left }) do
local artifact = root.mod_gui_top_frame
if artifact and artifact.valid then

Maybe this is set for balancing purposes, but currently the casting-steel recipe requires 30 molten-iron, I expected it would require 50.
It seems the conversion is 10 molten-iron equals 1 iron-plate.

Version 2.0.29 has resolved this issue.

The change seems to be working properly, thank you very much!

In with testing on a custom entity without a defined recycling recipe, the recycling recipe is still auto generated when auto_recycle = false. Not what I expected,
the results become of 25% of the item rather than 25% of the ingredients.

I think you mean auto_recycle = false .


Actually, I think auto_recycle should not be changed, if (re)generating a recycling recipe. I believe the intent of the field is to not generate a recycling recipe.
I took that line from the quality mod's data-updates.lua script, but I think for my ...

I agree, however you can just put:

if mods["quality"] then require("__quality__.data-updates") end

In your own mods data-final-fixes (data, data-updates, or anywhere else after you've added or changed recipes)


As of the date of this reply, it is not a good idea to implement the above... at ...

local recipe = data.raw.recipe[recipe_name]

if mods["quality"] then
local recycling = require("__quality__/prototypes/recycling")

recycling.generate_recycling_recipe(recipe)
recipe.auto_recycle = nil
end


Maybe the proper way is to (re)-generate a specific recycling recipe?

Is running __quality__.data-updates from data-updates.lua supposed to be safe?

When I call it, it changes the recycling recipe for nutrients from spoilage to biter eggs.
To me, this is an unexpected result. I am not sure if it is a bug or I should not be calling it.

While the visualization is the same, this seems to be part of the player selected logic, the code that displays the entity's selection box.
The hide_connection_info does as it should, for the connections. I believe this represents the fluid flow, the direction of the pump.

Similar to this request: https://forums.factorio.com/97809

When a compound entity consists of a pump that is selectable in game, the fluid direction indicator appears on mouse-over.
