Related issues are actually present on pretty much all nvidia gpus on linux, not just optimus laptops. I reported a similar issue to nvidia: https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/glgeneratemipmap-corruption-after-hibernate/63962/4

Basically, with the nvidia proprietary drivers on linux, if you do anything unusual, the contents of memory are undefined. It sucks.

Peaceful mode sets the biters to only be 'distracted' when they are damaged. If you attack one guy, he will retaliate and call nearby friends to help him.

If you run away, or kill them without aggroing any more biters, then when you return, they will be peaceful again.

Not really so much, I make mods because they are my own and not subject to the rules or guidelines of the main game.

Sometimes I make an experiment to see if something is possible in the engine, and if it is and I find it interesting, I will develop that idea into a mod.

Like with transport drones, since my first experiments with total automization and construction drones, I realised that just lettings units go from A to B is easy to do, but has a bunch of problem with the gameplay. For instance little compi bots getting in the way when trying to build.

So I wanted some way to prevent them going just anywhere, which is where the idea of the road network came from. And then there were the fun programming challenges, such as determining when networks should merge or split. I put off starting the mod for a long time because I thought this logic would be a real pain and cause me a lot of pain. It turned out it wasn't so hard (but then like 1 month later someone ...

Nope, sorry.

Where are you located?

EDIT: Seems like biters got into our Japanese CDN, so we're going to nuke it.

The devs are the players and the product managers, so no middle man.

I also think it's one of our strengths and it's sometimes sad to see when bigger games's design or programming teams are so disconnected from their player base.

Changes

• Adjusted steam engine and turbine collision boxes so player can walk between two steam engines.

I haven't heard of anybody else having a similar issue, so I would likely guess its something with your local network configuration
