b Factorisimo3 pathing

15 days ago

We are seeing some strange pathing from the drones when going from inside a Factorisimo house. One level works, from planet to subsurface or subsurface ans back but NOT: subsurface -> planet -> subsurface.

The drones here just instantly teleports from supply depot to request depot.

We also played around in editor mode with blue prints, where we saw a crash, could not fine the error log there.

Further more my mate i played with wrote me this:

I’ve run into a few issues that seem related to roads, parameterized blueprints and vehicle pathing.

First, it’s possible to place roboports directly on roads. Not sure if this is intended, but it feels wrong that roads don’t restrict building placement, at least for certain structures.

Second, parameterized blueprints don’t work on requester depots. When I try to place one, it gives an “invalid recipe” error. The only way I’ve been able to make it work is by using a combinator signal instead.

Third, if I place a requester in one building and a provider in another, the vehicle won’t leave the first building, travel through the outside world, and enter the second building. It just doesn’t make the trip. Similar behavior happens with refueling and drone providers.

All of this is reproducible in my current save.

Oh, we did some performance testing. And add 100+ depots with 500+ drones it did not affect too much on its own.

With all that being said, everything seem to work pretty good - and you’ve already made huge improvements to the previous version. This has always been a favorite mod of ours, and seing the work you put in is truly awesome! Thanks
