b Construction job freezes game UI for exactly 6 minutes.

2 years ago

When I paste any blueprint or deconstruction order, after the 30 second job waiting period, the game UI freezes for exactly 6 minutes, then the contructron continues on it's way and completes the job.

I have tried turning off all other mods, but the issue still occurs.

If you could help debug this, I would greatly appreciate it. The mod looks very promising.

I have uploaded a save game here: http://arbybean.com/temp/Construct_Freeze.zip

There is already a blueprint placed. 30 seconds after loading the saved game factorio will freeze.

Hi

I have released v1.0.25 which fixes this issue. This was a pretty crazy issue to have to fix but I can see why it occurred now that it is fixed!

Also feel free to join the discord! https://discord.gg/m9TDSsH3u2

Also just as a tip, if you like, you can disable rebuild jobs for entities that get destroyed by biters with /ctron disable rebuild which means you can lower your job_delay time setting from 30 seconds and get things happening faster.

Huzzah! Thanks for the quick turnaround.

I guess I was the first person to try this on a kiloscience bot base and found a spot that needed some optimization.

To be fair, there are 90 logistics networks and 2000 roboports. :D

No worries!
Somehow... the unit_numbers are up to 3.2 billion.

This map ran as a multiplayer server and has over 2000 hours, maybe that's all the biters that ever existed?

Or maybe it was the mining drone mod spawning mining bots.
