The list is in the install directory under data/core/backers.json

Re: Rebuild or Restart?
It's simple at heart: collect a (mental or written, that's a who-do-you-love question) list of "do better next time" things, and when you can't stand looking at the list any longer, start the next one. Just remember to include your fault-finding-and-fixing process in the fault-finding-and-...

Re: UPS Optimization - the full belt myth
I think it might be putting things on and taking things off belts is cheaper when the lane's kept full.

And just to put some scale on "huge", six years ago, in 2017, you could build past 4kspm on a i3 4170, with the 0.15 engine. at 50fps.

Re: Best CPU available: AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D?
It's impossible for the OS to reliably figure out that the best thing to do is restrict a process/some thread(s) to the cores with extra cache available. I wouldn't go that far. Maybe nobody does it, but I'm not sure even about that - - AIX would notice when pairs of processes interfered with each ...

Re: vanilla death world too hard
Trying to play Death World Vanilla. Is this mode balanced so that every game is practically winnable? As you get better the harder modes become less suicidal. There are people (I am not one of them, they must be Gods 'cause they're crazy) who like to play deathworld marathon, and I wouldn't be too ...

Re: Factorio price increase - 2023/01/26
There are like three games whose Next Big Iteration are an auto-buy: Factorio, KSP, Dwarf Fortress. The prices for all of those are set right According To The Great And Wonderful Me: they're between "glad to pay that" and "willing to pay that". Getting too close to either of thos...

Re: 20-25 biter nests right next to oil I need. Unsure how to deal with them.
Goose your military research as far as you can, red ammo, land mines, grenades, explosive/physical damage boosts. Your goal is to get close enough to lob grenades and take out a nest or three without actually dying, then get away and eat fish or just wait to heal. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Re: [1.1.72][Lua] corrupt defines.circuit_connector_id
Per my expectation each entry has to have different number, otherwise it is impossible to detect which network an entity has. Here's your problem. Connector id is a defined constant, there's no way it *ever* could have told you which network an entity has. So it can't be what you first thought it w...

Re: Event when singal of a constant combinator are changed
Haven't tried it but wouldn't watching player_cursor_stack_changed for the player switching away from a blueprint at least make checking whether the bp has constant combinators and if so rechecking every constant combinator on the map once a tolerable expense?

It's Linux-only, Windows simply can't support it. To light it up put `non-blocking-saving=true` in your config or hunt down the checkbox in the "the rest" set that shows up if you hold down ctrl+alt when you pick "settings". It's a fan-made feature, someone with source access bas...

if a mod already does the thing you're suggesting, would it be better to not have it suggested it in the first place? There's just wayyyyy too many mods for anyone to page through them all, if the "downloads" and "trending" sorts on the mod install page don't bring you joy, I'd ...

Talking out of turn here, but hey. Optimize for the common case. There are a *lot* of inventories in this game. A *lot*. Almost none of them ever use more than a handful of slots. Optimize for the bottleneck. When Factorio bogs down, it's basically always on memory access. Bulking up the memory it h...
