b Saving takes a long time after update .19

6 years ago

First of all, love the mod! keep up the great work!

now on to my problem.
So I updated factorio from .16.16 -> .16.22 and whatever mods updates had come through which was in this case rampant from .16.2 -> .16.19. I immediately noticed slowdown when saving (was almost instantly to get the greenbar moving when autosaving but now it takes a good 4-6s before it starts moving then the normal time.

Updated to .16.23 on factorio and .16.20 on rampant a moment ago and it seems to be a bit quicker but its still some 4-5s before the bar gets going.

Any tips? also want me to share the save somewhere?
Also disabling rampant restores the savetime so I'm fairly certain its the mod

I can take a look at the save, but no promises on a fix

Your map is a good size and this is getting to the point where I'm not going to be able to do much without a investing a good amount of time in this

What map size do you recommend? I'm currently doing a 2048x2048 first time factorio playthrough and looking to get Rampant on the next playthrough.

What maximum map size would you can safely recommend to play on?

that is fine, if you don't mind a ~5-6 second autosave pause.

The size of the world only affects saving and loading times
