Re: Friday Facts #221 - 0.16 is out

Give requester chests priority over buffer chests. This means, that nothing would go to buffer chest request unless that item is already satisfied for all requester chests When I read the first buffer chest article, I thought this would be obvious. After all, the whole point of buffer chests as a l...

Re: [16.1] Items on belt creeping forward at specific position

Is it possible that the creep was supposed to happen before the inserter, and a sign error (plus vs minus) is making it happen after?

Re: Friday Facts #213 - The little things 2

re: Buffer chest production problems - you can solve that fairly simply by just wiring your assembler's output inserter to your passive provider chest, resource < 50, instead of using a network condition. As buffer chests bring items away to the far locations, the provider chest will keep that given...

Re: Friday Facts #209 - Optimisation is a way of life

with other changes, it could get down to 16 if I wanted. But it might not be needed until smoke shows on the profiler again. By changing the TinyVector for direction to an Angle16 that saves you another 2 bytes, with the rest of the commented changes that gets you down to 16 bytes right? (Angle16 i...

Re: Train bandwidth Questions

Sounds like you're using single-wagon trains? You'll want to ramp that up. Try a LL-CCCC-LL train system. The core realization here is that by increasing the number of wagons, you're moving 4 times as many items, with the same round-trip time. The reason for double-header trains is that the stations...

Flamethrower ammo setup - its own refinery

I'm surprised nobody seems to have posted this before... Basic Oil Processing has the perfect output ratio for Flamethrower ammo. So you can just stick a Chemical Plant on the output of a refinery and give it iron. The refinery will starve the plant, but who cares? It's personal ammo production. I a...

Re: Inserter's not loading off belts to factories

It looks like the factories are finished and there's nowhere for the output to go. If you open the assembler, are ~4 items already in the output slot?

Re: Map download never finishes [14.5] headless windows

Both 508-byte packets do have the same checksum: I tried generating those 508-byte packets with different combinations of the IP addresses in the screenshot, but didn't get anything really interesting like 0x0000. It's still possible there's another layer of NAT hidden somewhere in the middle thoug...

I believe you can right-click a folder and select Send To > Compressed Archive (.zip). It's built into Windows, no need for a separate program.

Continuing from the previous topic, the RCON connection now works but the server crashes when I try to run a simple /c command in parallel with another connection. Action: Make two parallel RCON connections and send the same wrong password on both. Expected: Both connections receive a bad-auth packe...

Did you run strace -f? Without -f, you won't see anything from the thread where the accept call is done. Also, you're on OSX, is that right? Yeah, I ran strace -ff (places each thread in its own output file) and grepped all of them :/ My most recent client is on OSX, yeah. Server info: $ cat /etc/o...
