So let's compare active mods:

Okay.

• Mod Updater.
• Fast Track
• True Tiles
• Pliers FIxed
• No Long Commutes
• Supress Notifications
• Geyser Calculated Average Output
• Bigger Camera Zoom Out
• Build Over Plants
• Clarified Max Decor
• Skills And Stats Progress
• Show Building Ranges
• Gas Overlay
• Plan Buildings Without Materials
• Resculpt
• Worn Siuts Don't Drop Carnisters
• Space POI Additional Info
• Sort Artifact First
• Variocoloured Ballons
• DGSM (not sure, mayby it was enabled mayby not, it happened almost two weeks ago)
• Buildable Natural Tile (also unsure)
• Wallpapaer

So with that, we both have

• Camera Zoom Out
• Mod Updater
• Supress Notification
• Build Over Plants
• (And maybe DGSM and Natural Tiles)

I started using Fast Track not so long ago and this issue came up after I think 50 cycles of gameplay, and the second one happened 1 day after the first one, so I am almost sure it has to do something with Fast Track... Unfortunetly. Because Fast Track it's such a godsend.

My guess would be it is a genuine bug in fast track. Maybe the new reachability changes? My food is accessed by an auto sweeper above freezing tile putting it into a 1kg fridge.<

And yes, it's a pity. Hopefully it will get fixed.

Well mine is stored in ration boxes. But dupes are found dead IN their tables, so they already have food i presume.

1 kg is too low. I had dupe miss a meal many time (either distance or food in fridge being reserve for furthest dupe). I played with no mod though. You guys should do a test case and focus on their chores.

As I wrote before: I reloaded the auto save of the cycles the dupes starved. They all started with nearly 4000 kcal. So they ate last cycle. Also there was no starvation warning.

Fast Track 0.9.18 has been released. This version has compromised on the rare race condition causing Duplicants to instantly starve by serializing all Amounts updates, which unfortunately will introduce a sizable performance loss. Likewise, several Atmo Suit changes from 0.9.17 have all been reverted as it apparently causes loops in some situations.

Wow, that's fast. Thank you!

So after the update of the mod I played for three hours and it happened again: instant starved while eating without a warning. Checked previous cycle. +3k kcal and and zero stress.

It seems like this race condition is machine specific - thousands of hours of testing (yes, literal thousands) have never reproduced this issue even once on my end. If you have the time, can you try disabling each option in the options menu, one at a time (or half at a time with a binary search if you know how to do that) and isolate which one it is?

Any idea which options might be the most promising? I guess something like using mesh renderers isn't too probable to cause this bug.

Due to the nature of race conditions, exact timing might be critical, and nearly every option modifies timing to some extent. It literally could be any of the options.

[imazined]

I'll see what I can manage. I get the bug only every few hours of playtime.

Meanwhile may be you could roll back the changes in 0.9.18 if it doesn't help this bug and doesn't fix other race conditions.

Version 0.3.8 (0.3.7 is also missing a changelog it seems) fixes a memory leak in Auto-Sweeper caching and an off by one bug in Amounts updates that could cause rare issues like Duplicants instantly starving to death.

Variations of this bug have existed for months, there is no way to revert back this far. It happens so rarely that it is almost certainly specific to certain machines.

[Peter Han]

Fast Track 0.10.0 has been released for compatibility with the Hot Shots game update.

As is with many large game updates, new bugs may have been introduced. Report any new issues to the GitHub page.

Yeeehaaa! Thank you Peter

[Eppitaal]

Found something funny: the mod gives critters the "Change this Duplicant's outfit" which crashes the game if you press it (probably has something to do with critter optimization)

Edit: I realized that info window would now has this button and not just critters lol

Edited December 31, 2022 by Eppitaal

[Peter Han]

Fast Track 0.10.1 has been released. Further optimizations have been made to Fast Attributes, and the Change Outfit button should no longer appear on anything other than Duplicants.

[Peter Han]

Fast Track 0.10.2 has been released.

• Path cache optimized, hits about 5-10% more often on average than before in most situations
• Fixed a very rare crash when Pips or Sweetles looked for nearby plants/eggs
• Fixed a memory leak in Auto-Sweeper caching which could also cause lag spikes after pausing
• Fix a potential crash when played on the hotfix U44-537329

[Peter Han]

Fast Track 0.10.3 has been released.

• Fix a very rare race condition when critters moved between rooms
• Allow fabrication of Basic Rad Pills even with Disable Diseases enabled
• Fix a potential crash when rebuilding rooms while ranching was active
• Update and clarify several strings in the Options menu

[Peter Han]

Update 0.10.4 brings some new optimizations:

• Drillcone side screen runs much faster, and should no longer lag the game when closed
• Small optimizations to the Spaced Out starmap
• Tooltips with mouse click shortcuts now render correctly in all localizations
• Cleaned up log spam caused by flying Radbolts
• Add compatibility with an exciting upcoming mod

[Soggs]

There seems to be an issue for me with the Engineer Build Priority mod, where they do not get scheduled correctly over lower priority jobs. Disabling either mod made them build as expected. My assumption would be that adding new job categories is not correctly handled?

Exciting upcoming mod? Desire to know more intensifies!

This mod is from another user and I will not spoil the surprise.

Nevertheless, update 0.10.5 has fixed numerous small bugs:

• Several "fixes" to Chore Optimizations to make it consistent with subtle bugs in the base game (solves rec time related stuttering, showering stopping/starting, and several other quirks)
• Further optimizations to Background World Inventory
• Sped up gas shader updates when necessary to reduce weird visual artifacts when scrolling very quickly
• Cleaned up details panel to more closely match the base game
• Fix a 3-way incompatibility with Mod Filter and Mod Updater
• Fix a 3-way incompatibility with Engineer Build Priority and Efficient Supply

Clicking on the properties tab of a liquid (might be other things but I was looking for the freezing point of a couple of different liquids) causes the game to crash blaming fast track as the culprit.

Note that Fast Track will be blamed for ALL crashes due to bugs in the crash reporter.

Version 0.10.6 brings massive performance improvements to the Spaced Out! Starmap, especially on larger clusters and modded worlds, and does fix a potential crash on the properties tab.
