It's just that the difference between what you are asking for and what I am proposing is a matter of perspective. You're saying put the blueprints in a particular location. I'm saying, provide *a way* for the scripting environment to get the blueprints into *a location*. That's all. In the end, you'...

I don't really know to say it any other way than that being able to manually flush something to disk that should be persisted is a fairly normal feature for libraries, frameworks, applications, etc. The diversion from the core of the issue here isn't ultimately helpful I don't think.

I haven't generally attempted this in single player - it's typically a multiplayer situation. I generally will drop when I get too bound up on a map my computer can't keep up with but there are some unpredictable permutations of conditions which will grind my entire machine to a halt and only if I'm...

I think your proposed solution might be okay for what you have in mind but I think a more general solution of being able to use lua to iterate your blueprint storage to import/export strings could allow players and developers to create all kinds of solutions to this problem. I've been quite interest...

I must admit that more often than crashing it's that I have to kill factorio becuase my computer becomes unresponsive from extremely large maps. I'm really not sure there is a workaround for this that doesn't involve more hardware so being able to manually trigger blueprint storage synchronization w...

If "last player" is tracked when entity and tile ghosts are created, then the build queue could be managed in a way similar to a preemptive OS process/task scheduler does it whereby tasks which have not gotten attention recently can be elevated. In this way, a player whose tasks have been ...

I often lose blueprints when the game crashes because I have not exited gracefully for the blueprints to be saved to storage. Can this be done on some interval and/or have some manual client-side command to trigger a blueprint storage flush? Thank you in advance!

Please forgive me for what may be an already-answered question, but can you please define "merged group"?

trains.

I can't disagree with this.

I wonder what the recursion limit is. That would be a useful number to keep in mind while designing.

So what do you do to maintain compression over long distance?

Here you go: https://file.io/nNKMmp

Of course it's going to expire at some point.

I pinged the location immediately before save. I look forward to your analysis.

Thanks for the report. most likely you have some circular belt(s) and the update order is what's causing this. Without seeing the full factory I doubt there's any kind of bug here. Definitely no circular belts. Here is the destination of the full belt. Screenshot from 2020-02-21 11-39-09.png Screen...

Here is a preview gif that is larger than the attached mp4

Attached is a basic video of 2 saturated half belts merging to make one full belt but the full belt gets gaps as shown with show-transport-line-gaps in debug settings.

I have seen some pretty cool scenarios that depend on changing your player name. Examples were a "hardcore" survival scenario where you became inmates stranded on a planet fighting to get off the planet. You were renamed to "Inmate-1234" so you couldn't tell who you were playing ...

No real helpful context here except large lategame map. No idea how to recreate but it was after the server had trouble saving map to disk for some players to (re)connect. #10 0x0000000000e70a96 in IntrusiveList<LogisticMember, LogisticMemberNetworkTag, false>::clear() at /tmp/factorio-build-2TyrJl/...

I don't have the map at the time of the crash but generally speaking it was late game biter fighting with PAMk2 and modules while driving a tank near the edge of pollution. I feel like there *may* be enough information here to find a bug in static analysis but let me know if there are any obvious cl...

Additionally what do the fields in the Pather, Pathfinder and Paths fields mean?
