[0.18.36] Pathfinder failing to group enemies

Post by b_2 »

In the provided screenshots it can be seen that out of 50-60ms that the game is spending for each tick, 40-45 are spent on path finding. Here's what happened:
  • Previously, all the enemies used to go in groups, and (probably) one path was built for the entire group.
  • Then, at some moment, the enemies started to go one-by-one, and the time spent for updates quickly went up.
  • Now, as you can see, there are more than 1.5K paths that aren't built yet. This number does not change with time (or the change is so small it can't even be noticed). This may indicate that the game tries to, but fails to build all the required paths.
  • The only way I can get this number to decrease is to manually kill some biters using artillery. In that case, the path is removed from the queue.
Overall, it looks like the pathfinder does not keep up with the high number of paths requested.
The log file and various screenshots are attached.

Regards,
stuff

I wanted to make a YT video about this base, so I don't want to share this file in public. However, if you can suggest a way to send it in private, yes, I can do it.

Here's a save exhibiting the problem: https://file.io/h2q0DLzUEOLY

The Pathfinder is running at 100ms, 300ms peak (on my hardware anyway)!!!!!! O_O
