[0.14.21] Modpack: Farlands v0.14.7
Posted: Wed May 04, 2016 2:01 pm
by Pandemoneus
Type: Modpack
Name: Farlands
Description: The modpack is based on RSO, Angel's mods, Bob's mods and Misanthrope. RSO is used to space out the resource generation and adds the need to use trains. That is why there are many train companion mods included. Angel's mods revamp the resource system by reducing the amount of different ores and instead adding compound ores from which the vanilla ores and Bob's ores are extracted. Together with Bob's mods both add an additional layer of complexity that should postpone the end game by several hours.
I also made sure to not add redundant mods. You will find out that this modpack does not add multiple mods that all do the same thing. All mods are carefully hand-picked to enhance the gameplay.

Thanks. I hope with the new Factorio mod portal it will be easier to get notified about updated mods.

Indeed, auto-notification of available updates would be amazing.

After playing for some time, I have these constant fps spikes. Anyone else? It's about every 3 seconds, whatever I am doing, it will lag-spike. I tried turning V-sync on/off, and honest my CPU is quite weak by now, but still, I played with even more mods and haven't experienced such issue. Maybe some generation mod?
Edit: This time, after installing latest factorio bugfixing patch aswell, it's running without spikes.

I don't notice any lag spikes, but I have a beefy computer.

I guess it was some sort of first-time-mods-loaded thing. Because it's fine now. Or it was mod version related, because I updated those that were mentioned by someone in the thread, before you released the updated modpack.
Thanks

Awesome pack, we're using it as initiation to modded Factorio, so far we love it. As for lag spike, my friend have a pretty average computer and we get a fair warning when one of the massive pack of biter decide it's time to attack, it just lag so much when hundreds of biter look for a path to our base. We also got issue with treefarm when it's chest is full, look like it's constantly trying to cut the mature trees but it can't and we get constant lag spike. Everytime when the storage is full we wonder if it's a biter attack or simply too much wood lol. I'm begining to think about fixing the code of treefarm... But other than that we didn't notice much lag.
Also, we had to remove "Macromanaged Turret" as it caused desync issue. That was before the update, but there was no info about this on their thread so we didn't try the new version yet.
We just unlocked the blue research, going smoothly, great pack overall, thanks a lot =)

I've read about the lag issues with Treefarm, there's an issue posted on their Github page. I am waiting for the update.
Thanks for the feedback.

I am getting the same Problem. Would love to play this but those spikes make it unplayable. They come like every 3 seconde too!
What bugfixing patch are you talking about?

I'm getting the same FPS bug with Treefarm unfortunately
Besides that though, this mod pack is amazing
Thank you so much for updating and maintaining it, Pandemoneus!

The Factorio 0.12.33 patch I suppose. You can get it by going to your Steam library, right-click on Factorio -> Properties -> Betas and select "expertimental".

Thanks. I will wait for a timely patch for Treefarm. I am reclutant to remove the mod because ScienceCostTweaker adds resin to the science packs and you need lots of wood for Bob's circuits too. I know that Angel adds a way to get wood, too, but it's not accessable early on.

I don't think you need to take it out of the mod pack either. I managed to fix crudely fix the issue by adding an extra inserter to remove excess wood from the tree farms

Those lag spike where bugging me, especially for something so simple, so I fixed it. I sent them a pull request on git with the fix so we should get an official update soon. In the mean time, here's my version if you want.
