Blueprints in libraries are modified (recipes are deleted) when a blueprint is added to the library in a different mod 1) Disable all mods 2) Load "test_vanilla" savefile 3) Make a blueprint with three machines (repepts: "fill-crude-oil-barrel", "empty-crude-oil-barrel"...

Questions about logistics groups:
1) is it possible to save/restore?
2) is there protection against greifer? (the admin can find out which of the players deleted everything?)
3) are there global and local(only the owner player sees) groups?

I wonder how you will deal with cache misses from the processor?

I always understood this to be true for reasonable distances. But isn't the max belt length for a single transport line 200 tiles? If you're playing on e.g. a rail world style map because you think trains are fun, do belts really still win (UPS-wise) over very long distances, despite being broken i...

... As the cost of product assembly is pushed lower and lower by these experiments, the cost of those other things becomes a proportionally higher part of the total UPS picture - and therefore where the biggest remaining perf gains will be found. Finding the most efficient ways to buffer and distri...

...
Would be nice to have a mod which draws signals and assembly mahcine storage graphs I can use the pause feature currently only.

write a mod yourself
I don't think it will be difficult: every tick to save buffers of all assembly machines to a log file

5x10000 ticks
the results are slightly different

imho for the benchmark it is better to use PS scripts that set a high priority for the factorio process

maybe 270k spm is not enough for the reds
0.8 ms is not enough, perhaps everything is placed in the processor cache and the results are distorted

For my 4.2.2 8t benchmark, I removed the mods and got rid of flames' test blueprint. I found having mods active actually eat up a little performance and can throw results off. Can you rerun Flame?

I use a python script for the benchmark, which forcibly disables all mods

there are many players on the server who know how to optimize UPS: MadMojoMonkey, stevetrov, murphy, etc.

Oh yeah I forgot about the subreddit discord, but what do you think about a server for just this?

why a separate server?

Exactly what my tests show as well. So I try to find a way to load the machine when only 1 or 2 RS in it... the produced items must be less than 12, then the inserter will immediately unload them all 12 gears -> 16.8 reds 11 gears -> 15.4 reds 10 gears -> 14 reds 9 gears -> 12.6 reds 8 gears -> 11....

Also what are your guys' thoughts on a discord server? I feel like it would be easier to share information

server "Technical Factorio"


PS I hope I'm not breaking the rules

why the bug? we count according to the formula: return Math::clamp(uint32_t(std::ceil(1.166 / (recipeCraftingTime / craftingMachineCraftingSpeed))) + 1, 2, 100); b8: (1.116 / (5.5 / 5.5) ) + 1 = 2.166 the ingredients will enter the assembly machine only if there are less than 3 items in the assembly...

- I think this is something to look into because right now the inserters are clocked to pick up 8.4 items/sec. I'm not entirely sure where the community found this number, if it is just from trial and error or if there is some math behind it but would be interested to see perfect timings. Is the PM...
