UPS Friendly Asteroids - Factorio Mods

[north ocean]

could you share a bit more about your system/specs and how you've measured all of this? its really high

[daring idol]

Nothing special, just a test platform with steep sides so it generates a ton of chunks

It's tested on an i7 laptop with CPU frequency locked at max

(this is after applying the mod so 20% chunks)

[north ocean]

is the test platform the only thing in your world? could you share it as a save? i wish to see which results i get

[daring idol]

It's the only thing, so reducing the chunks to 20% made projectile take roughly 20% the time

[north ocean]

there are quite a lot of mods in there, if i load the save without syncing the numbers look rather acceptable:

dev instance has a broken http and i don't feel like littering my main install rn so i cannot confirm the numbers with a synced modlist

[daring idol]

That's kinda weird, is it bottlenecked by ram or something? My computer has bad ram

[north ocean]

ram plays a big deal, but if you just have that platform and those mods i feel like it shoudn't be that bad

[daring idol]

Did you try the mod to see if it lowers the projectile time? Rseding said it has nothing to do with chunks?

maybe I should verify my game install

I figured it out. It's editor extensions or flib causing the lag

[north ocean]

i doubt its flib tho, so editor extentions is the only logical choice, the question now is why

[daring idol]

It's not flib, just tested it out

maybe it's spawning some kind of invisible projectiles?

or it's on event spam

[daring idol]

nope, it's the base game asteroid collectors being performance intensive, and if the special items from editor extensions are deleted, the platform stops moving and time usage goes down.

[north ocean]

looks like editor extentions is just listening to unfiltered events

on_entity_destroyed in infinity accumulator, infinity loader & infinity wagon specifically

and since it does entity name & struct checks within lua instead of filtering it off on the c++ side it gets all the events lua side

@open kernel you might want to read this

[daring idol]

by the way the lag is mainly caused by factorio's own code, ~8x performance improvement coming next version

[north ocean]

oh?

[daring idol]

I sent this save to Rseding XD

[north ocean]

excelent

[open kernel]

Filtering the events won't save that much performance and I find it hard to believe it is causing this much lag
