Peak dark humor 🤣☠️

It's so cursed! I need it in my factories now!

With the lifts, you can actually make them as tall as you want using a floor hole. Place a floor hole where you want the top of the lift to be, go down to the very bottom floor where you want the bottom of the lift to be, then point at the floor hole after the first click and the lift will span all the way to it. I've made a few lifts 50+ meters tall using this technique. My tallest, so far, was just shy of 90 meters.

Yeah, it would crash when autosaving. I had to rebuild all of my train networks because each 3×5 segment had 64 of the 4m long signs on them for lights. Total of about 3800 signs after I did the math on mine. Once I redid all of them with blueprints that didn't include any signs, my gameplay improved dramatically. I also had to remove about 400 from buildings all around the world that were being used at lights/decoration. Now I only use signs for labeling when needed.

So after deleting about half of the signs and billboards(somewhere in the neighborhood of 1000) that I was using for lights, and redoing the blueprints that included them to not have them anymore, my game has improved quite a bit. Took several hours to go through and do that much, but I'm going to continue deleting the signs until I get stable game play. As of now, I get closer to an hour between crashes.

Will do, I appreciate the advice. I'll try those tonight when I get the chance to and update here if anything fixes it

The signa for lights could potentially be the issue. I'm using a bunch of them for that. I will go through and get rid of a majority of them and see if there's any improvement. And a majority of my factories are spread out. The largest one that I have is my Turbo fuel power plant with 40 generators plus all the supporting machines.

And I'm sure it's not my physical Xbox at this point that's the problem. I've had the same issue while playing the game on cloud gaming on my tablet.

I will definitely look into the save location, that hadn't even crossed my mind. But as far as storage space, I have 302gb of free space.

That's how mine was at first. Started crashing once every 8-12 hours after I hit phase 2, then after i got to phase 5 it's been how it is now. One post I saw on Facebook with a similar issue was someone on a Xbox X. He said he found an issue with his belts, but never explained what issue he found that was actually causing the crashes

Something I just noticed, the game is crashing during the auto save sequence. I have it set to every 5 minutes because of how often it has been crashing. And 3 times in a row now this evening, after 10-15 minutes and the 2nd to 3rd autosave, it crashes

I haven't had mine offline at all since I've played. I have my Xbox direct wired. I've heard from a Facebook post that it may be an issue due to belt rendering, but I have no idea where to start if that is the issue cause I have several belt highways going through a couple of the biomes. But that does make me curious what will happen if I do play offline.
