Re: Large/huge pages support on windows

Anyone managed to make this work after Space Age?

When preloading mimalloc and collecting the stats afterwards it does not seem to do much, neither do I see a bump in UPS. The following is a partial log of capturing mimalloc and factorio stdout/stderr.

Re: Adventures in performance optimization (and new FactorioBox highscore)

I downloaded the Factorio binaries from factorio.com to circumvent the 32 bit architecture issue with steam. This allowed me to launch Factorio and preloading mimalloc properly. However, looking at mimalloc stats it still does not do much for Factorio. Neither do I see a bump in UPS or FPS.

Re: Adventures in performance optimization (and new FactorioBox highscore)


Thanks, this helps a lot indeed.

I'm doing some Shattered planet speedrun, and the UPS drop is massive: I was regularly at 27 UPS (with an AMD 7950X + 4070 super). Using hugepage and mimalloc gives me an extra 10-15 UPS.

If someone want to reproduce the trick on Archlinux:
1. Install mimalloc ...

Re: [Linux] Yet another Factorio Launcher (Wayland, mimalloc)

Does somebody know if this still benefits factorio on the SA DLC? I tried to use mimalloc but it does not seem to do much for me.

Re: Roll back feature: "When dragging belts, going forward and back will remove the extra belts built."


There's already an alternate setting (smart belt entirely disabled, bells build the same as inserters). Adding more would likely get excessive very fast.


excessive what?

Excessive user experience? I don't see how. It's just variations of belt building, not super confusing for users.

Re: Roll back feature: "When dragging belts, going forward and back will remove the extra belts built."

Could this become an optional feature in the settings?

Because I really f***** loved this feature! And I'm so sad it's now gone, it completely fitted my playstyle.

Re: Silo throughput should increase with quality

I personally think that it's oke if it is not so affected by beacon's and speed. It's fine if not everything in the game needs 8 to 12 beacons around it with speed modules to be of full potential in end-game. I would however love it if the quality of the rocket silo would increase the animation ...

Re: [2.0.23] Recycler returns disproportionate amount of ingredients over a long time

Recycler setups either need to have larger buffers, so it can go a longer period of time before it clogs, or need to have a way to get rid of excess material caused by the number of heads not exactly equaling the number of tails.


Well, large buffers are apparently not working ;) The error just ...

Re: [2.0.23] Recycler returns disproportionate amount of ingredients over a long time



Thanks for the report however I do not believe there is any bug here as I have not seen anyone show a deterministic issue with specific recycling recipes over long periods of test cycles. Random is random, and people interpret that in the short term as unbalanced.

Re: [2.0.23] Recycler returns disproportionate amount of ingredients over a long time


At random, the numbers you're looking at should not even out over time. They should grow proportionally to the square root of the number of crafts.

If you do something N times, each time has a probability p of success, and you see X successes, you do expect to see that X/N is very close to p ...

Re: [2.0.23] Recycler returns disproportionate amount of ingredients over a long time


Assuming the pRNG is working correctly, this is expected to some degree. It's a random walk .

A good way to test if the pRNG is NOT working correctly is if this is consistent for the same item times of the same quality. If say, epic inserters always have an excess of one ingredient, tested across ...
