b Drones get unresponsive as the game goes on

(updated 3 years ago)

Hi!

I've noticed this with ALL other mods with construction bots/drones that as the game goes by, they became slower and slower to respond. I have 60/60 FPS/UPS but I guess since I have many entities, if I select let's say 1000 tress to be destroyed or drop a big plan with hundreds of stuff then the following happens;
- drones seem to only want to start working on a specific area and work their way from there. So if you move around, it seems you get the job done faster;
- like I just popped down 5000 Transport Drone roads and I'm just sitting next to unbuilt roads for like 1-30 seconds or more for them to probably rescan what work to be done and do nearby work. And they usually only do a fraction of the work in ragnge at a time;
- not all drones/bots get launched from the inventory even if there's plenty of work in range and capacity/materials;
- and the less work there is to do left, the faster it might be done.

So I guess it's a base game issue, not mod specific, but I'm not sure, but as much as I'm relying on this mod in a new Py run with a small base, this seems more prevalent than with various Nuclear bot mods with infinite battery.

I wonder if there is a way to check for drone jobs within the character's range much more frequently or if it's much more difficult.

What version of the mod are you using?

I've been fixing some bugs which cause the update to be slower

same issue here. Can provide save if needed.

I'm having a similar issue. As soon as I click the button to toggle the drones and toggle them on again, they all charge out from my inventory and do their jobs. A few seconds later they go back into my inventory until I toggle them again.

Thats my experience ^ Not a huge issue. Probably because I have a large amount of ghosts.

I suspect I have the same issue (referring to too many ghosts). My construction bots (flying) do not have this problem, but I guess their logic/calculations/stuff-I-know-nothing-about works differently than that of the drones.

Same thing, now on 0.6.2. I wonder what causes it, exactly... this was true even without any ghosts.

Started noticing the same problem today in my Krastorio2 run. I also updated from 0.5.6 today, dunno if it started before or after the update to 0.6.3 however.

Seems to have been caused by Walls Block Spitters, at least in my case. That bug was fixed in 0.6.3.
