[Mods|0.12.35|US] MP Dedicated Server (TEMP OFFLINE)

In fact I just laid down a row of equalizer chests and it caused an immediate desync. Maybe I need to not place them over top of existing chests with stuff in them that inserters are in the middle of unloading. (Was upgrading a train unloading station to have equalizers in the middle of it running...)

Alright lemme know if it's managable or needs to be removed.

Oh yeah it has to be the equalizer chest.. would make sence since it's something that get run every few seconds and it would get worse as you place more in the map.

Should I remove the mod?

[devilwarriors]

well remove them in the game and if it fix it yeah

i'll let you know

The chests themselves I think run fine, it is if I place them over top of another chest that an inserter is moving into or out of. That seems to trigger the issue.

Hrmm all the desync madness broke my online players script. Interesting...

yet it was doing it every 30 seconds at some point and I was the only one in the map and not touching the chest.. but now it doesn't happen anymore and we keep adding more and it's still running fine..

not sure what was happening sooner.

Might not have been the chest. I have no idea how to read the logs in the desync folder to figure out which item was at fault. :/

[devilwarriors]

Now I wonder if the finite water mod was really the issue lol

[devilwarriors]

Coded in a basic hang detection not sure how good it is or if it even works but it's technically there.

nope, ain't working.

We were doing ok until 12pm reboot.. managed to get a bunch of desyncs in after that.. but we could talk for a while, and do stuff.

And then the server lost connection with a desync, and caused my client to upload the map to the server (!). Not sure if roy/devil saw the same thing. My client crashed shortly thereafter. Well, thanks for all the fun - try again tomorrow =)

Night fellas.

[devilwarriors]

all I saw was player <server> desync, followed by <server> joining game. then my client crashed.

[Terra_Incognito]

I tried connecting and after about 2 minutes I got rolling disconnects. I would have to agree with your previous thoughts about the equalizer chests being at fault. Factorio doesn't seem to like things teleporting around, potentially as if it's even a fraction of a second off on each client then all the clients wouldn't agree as to what was where.

[NoPantsMcDance]

Removed equalizer chests.

[tetryon]

Removed equalizer chests.

The chests and contents disappeared... I replaced with steel. So far so good, but then it was fairly stable for 10-15 mins prior. Fingers crossed.

I was hoping it would just convert the chests to normal ones. I figured it would be better to remove it than desyncing all day.

Darn, I really liked those chests. It let us make some really clean train loading/unloading stations. If it really was causing the desyncs, hopefully the mod author can eventually locate and fix the error.

If you are adding mods in the future, since we don't have equalizers, could I request the Warehouse mod?

Plop a link to it so I can check it out.

I don't have links.. but FatController I've heard is good.

This map has been fun, but the biter attacks were extremely rare, and very few biter bases. I've enjoyed playing with the mods - thanks especially to roy and Devil.

[DoctorWho?]

Warehouses!

I think I'll join this.
