I've created a spreadsheet with my preliminary mod ratings on mods that I've used sufficiently to make such an analysis. It is in a google spreadsheet. If you feel I missed the point, feel free to comment in this forum. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fWu4iDpIAl5Mz2wD37Laohn6OzvmwFmxS5uEzPga...

Yep, so I just went in and modified the code and eliminated the gun turret from the mod, and it went from being the mod that took up the most CPU time to one of them taking up the least CPU time. If anyone is looking for the turret-less version, I'll upload it here. The author is, of course, perfect...

I have no idea why, but Ammobox is using a ton of CPU time late game. I'm not even using much of the ammo from it at this point, but it's using 1/16 of the available CPU time each frame... which is a TON for a single mod. Does Ammobox make calculations each frame or something? Update: Just glancing ...

Double checking things, you need to research 2 before you can research 3, so you SHOULD have 2 if you have 3. Though, it is possible if you've been using other mods that something else overwrote my own stuff, and broke things. I've got a lot of mods, but nothing that I think would overwrite this. I...

I'm unable to craft the personal laser defense 2 (it doesn't appear in the crafting menu). 3 and 4 are there, but I can't make them since I can't make any of the 2. Any ideas on troubleshooting this? I'm inclined to just cheat and change the recipe of 3 to require 1 instead of 2, since I can't make ...

Well, if you do that, you'll just get the ItemCollectors mod as it is. :P Simply use the fixed version from previous page. Edit: Well and change the 8th line in the control.lua to something like: global.ticks = 60 Oh, yup. That did it. Item collector is taking very little CPU time now... like 0.02-...

Verifed: Artifact Deconstructor uses .002 -.05 ms of CPU time, which is extremely reasonable compared to the item collectors. Here is the Entirety of the code for the Artifact Deconstructor ( https://mods.factorio.com/mods/Kane.Nexus/artifact-deconstuctor ): Config.lua -- seconds between artifact ch...

Yeah, I just checked. https://mods.factorio.com/mods/Kane.Nex ... constuctor Artifact Deconstructor is one of the lowest CPU intensive mods on my list (.002 - .05 ms) What is it doing that the other mods can't?

Not exactly a fix for collecting the artifacts but how I've solved it is to build a belt outside my defensive walls that brings stuff to my artifact storage area. Sure, it'll still mean that you'll have huge fields of artifacts laying on ground but at least those fields won't expand infinitely sinc...

I placed an active provider warehouse over top of a full storage warehouse. The contents of the warehouse spilled on to the ground, filling my base. I'm not sure what can be done about this, but it is a serious problem as cleaning up that much copper is... well... a problem.

Is it possible to add objects to this? Specifically, I use the Tombstones mod, and it would be nice if it created points on the map for tombstones. How would I go about adding that?

This mod is great! However, after loading the index.html, if I try to zoom, the screen goes white and says "Your file was not found. It may have been moved or deleted."

I found a specific cause of performance degredation. Ultimately, the massive drop in FPS/UPS is being caused by mods that pick items up off the ground. There was one included within Natural Evolution. I also downloaded one (https://mods.factorio.com/mods/Rseding9 ... Item Collectors) to deal with th...

Starting a new game with different mods helped me determine the source of the problem. I think this is something that the devs might actually be able to fix, so I'll try to find that other place to post save files, but I don't remember where it is, so I decided to just respond to this post, so that ...

This is a GREAT idea! +1.

Thanks for all the replies. I'll be removing the Natural Evolution mod. I'm a bit disappointed by this, because the enemies were very interesting and challenging. I loved the huge deadly groups. Instead, I'll be trying Bob's enemies. It seems like that one focuses on keeping numbers down as it incre...

Ok, I did a quick test. I went into the save game and entered the following into the console: /c local surface = game.player.surface for c in surface.get_chunks() do for key, entity in pairs(surface.find_entities_filtered({area={{c.x * 32, c.y * 32}, {c.x * 32 + 32, c.y * 32 + 32}}, force= "ene...
