AFAIK, this is pretty similar to what the UPS-Up mod does: https://mods.factorio.com/mods/AntiElite/UPS-up It causes most entities to update less frequently, but each update does the equivalent of multiple ticks. I'm pretty sure making the whole game work like that would be very complicated, and wou...

The Windows Firewall is probably blocking any incoming traffic to the process. You can try disabling it for a few minutes to see if it solves it, and if it does - add an exception to the Factorio executable so it can listen to incoming connections.

Hmmm.... First 0.15 mod changelog was posted 3 months before first 0.15 release....
So, 0.16 in ~3 months hype?

This sounds like a more general stream-handling philosophy - my understanding is that one shouldn't rely on streams alone for length of data (or completeness of data), regardless of the underlying mechanism. As I see it, the user (developer) may never know if more data will be available on the strea...

There is some merit to choosing a prime number as your modulus. Suppose your mod runs every m ticks, and some other mod which had the same idea runs every n ticks. How often will those two calculations occur simultaneously? The answer is the least common multiple of m and n, or lcm(m,n). As an examp...

Until a few weeks ago I was playing on a laptop with an i5 3210M with integrated HD4000 GPU, which I'm guessing should be pretty similar. I had 4GB originally, but upgraded to 12GB quite a while ago. Still, this upgrade didn't really affect Factorio too much. Performance is perfectly reasonable if y...

Very interesting thread and ideas, I'm surprised I have only just now come across it (maybe its because I've taken a break from Factorio :D ) If I might suggest a more "systematic" categorizing scheme. Sometimes it is more important to have lower probability of deadlock (if 100% safe / Cat...

Just process enough of it and let the law of large numbers take care of the rest...

I have a bug report about the FFF - you've written "meda" instead of "made"

That's been possible for a very long time....
Just Shift+Click on a pole to remove all wires, then use copper cable to wire manually.

This may be a long shot, but maybe try with "--force-d3d" or else "--force-opengl"? see: viewtopic.php?f=49&t=51614&p=301218#p301218

Does any/all of you use the KMS Intel driver? Try seeing if you have a package named `xserver-xorg-video-intel` installed (that's the name on Ubuntu and Debian, I'm guessing it's something similar in other distros). If you have it installed, try removing it and restarting - this should force X.org t...

Assuming I made no silly mistakes, it should be:
Where E is the current evolution (i.e. f(t)), and by `log` I mean the natural logarithm, of course (not the base 10 engineers often use, or base 2 computer scientists like).

So you are asking (assuming no spawners are/were destroyed), what is the function f(t) such that f(t+1) = f(t) + (1-f(t))*(tA + pB) where t is the current tick, A is the time evolution increase factor (default 0.000004 according to the wiki), p is the total pollution produced and B is the pollution ...

Anyone else interested in what was the cause or the solution? I would love to hear details (if not here then maybe in a FFF?)

Maybe the file got corrupted somehow? Try downloading again and re-installing.

Please do not run programs as root, especially games! (# implies root terminal. Normal user terminal has $ as the prompt separator). If clicking the file in bin/x64/ opens it, it probably means it's not marked as an executable. Try running chmod +x bin/x64/factorio Or see if your graphical file mana...

What distribution are you using? If you're on Ubuntu try running
then restarting your computer.

As stated previously in this thread - practically all processors made in the last 10 years are 64-bit. If your new laptop is 32-bit then it's probably an ARM, which is an entirely different architecture, one that Factorio never supported, and would take much more work to port to, not to mention thos...
