lol did anybody open the tips and tricks? Those are internal random player names we use in some of the tip simulations

We will have an official announcement on Friday on the blog. We marked it stable now, to have the rest of the week for possible fixes comming from the bigger playerbase using this version.

Yes

Yes

I call it a f*ckup - you call it best devs :)

Bugfixes

• Fixed certain build by dragging inconsistencies.
• Fixed that force-building blueprint from blueprint library near a train stop could add the stop into the schedule instead of building the blueprint. more
• Fixed desync/consistency issue related to drag building ghost electric pole, while the previous pole is built by robots before the next ghost is built.
• Fixed build distance check related to rotation of rectangular entities. ...

I believe the forum works very well as a bug tracker:
- you don't need yet-another-account or yet-another-login
- the forum interface is very familiar to most people
- the flow and general rules of posting and commenting on forums is also very familiar

The more accessible and easy we make reporting bugs, the more bugs and necessary details we get.

Just some info about the bug. We removed the restrictions completely, which was little bit too much, since it allowed you to build the blueprint on chunks that didn't have anything even generated, so the cause in this case is that the trees were created AFTER the blueprint was placed.

The new rule will be that blueprints are still limited, so you can only build on chunks that are charted, which reintroduces some kind of limitation, which indirectly also implies that they are fully generated already.

Bugfixes

• Fixed a crash related to tips & tricks simulations.

Use the automatic updater if you can (check experimental updates in other settings) or download full installation at http://www.factorio.com/download/experimental.

Bugfixes

• Limited blueprint building to charted areas - still regardless of fog of war. more
• Fixed the ability to build belts outside placement range in situations where it shouldn't be possible. more
• Fixed that modded rapid trains could cause consistency issues with rails. Trains faster than 7386.3km/h will be limited to that speed. ...

Remember to always report bugs(like OP just did) on the forums for them to get fixed, as many times we can miss even obvious ones.

Bugfixes

• Fixed possible crashes when building train wagons near train wagon ghosts that are not on rails.
• Fixed that the search didn't work correctly in the prototypes GUI in some cases. more
• Fixed that extra warning sound was played when upgrading underground from the exit side. more

Changes

• Allowed to build blueprints anywhere regardless fog of war. Deconstruction planner, blueprint creation and related actions are still limited by the fog of war, so you can't easily make changes to the blueprint built out of fog of war, but this still feels like a better solution compared to having to use non-chart building of huge blueprints when no radar coverage is available.

Bugfixes

• Fixed that ghost reversion orders prevented manual reversion of existing underground belt. more
• Fixed that clicking near the train stop in a map mode with a spidertron remote with control settings that have conflicting the send click and open click opened the statio ins...

Yes and install it on the school network

Most of the Lua is data definitions, which is parsed and fed in to the game engine at startup. The running code is C++, only mod and scenario scripts are Lua, which is far far far less than 25% of the source code.

Some new bugs were reported, so we fixed them

Nice.

Optimizations

• Improved save-game speed by up to 2x depending on the save file size.

Bugfixes

• Fixed that ghost reversion orders prevented manual reversion. more
• Fixed application of the forced ghost mode that removes trees/rocks/cliffs in the way when ghost building. more
• Fixed that undo didn't work for upgrade order created by ghost overbuilding.
• Fixed extra collisi...
