Steam still hasn't updated to .78 yet here. A shame, because the server I was playing on already updated :o
Should be fixed now, thanks for the notice
Use the automatic updater if you can (check experimental updates in other settings) or download full installation at http://www.factorio.com/download/experimental.

Hello,
we feel that the Factorio development is taking way too long. The approach "It is done when it is done" was serving us well to deliver a high quality product, but if we continued this way, we would be doing it basically forever. A lot of us don't have any problem working on Factorio for some more time, but the main problem is, that we would like to introduce new features and content instead of just polishing parts that are already present in the game. We also considered, that the game is quite polished now, and if we just pushed the button to release 1.0, it wouldn't be a catastrophe. From our perspective, a lot of things wouldn't be finished, but from the perspective of a new player, the things we are working on now are mainly nitpicks.
With this in mind, we decided to just specify a 1.0 release date publicly, so we have to stick with it. We will just focus on the most important aspects as we approach the date, and we just do whatev...

Do you have any desync reports to share?
EDIT: We managed to identify a problem, will fix it tomorrow, would advise against playing with biters on this release
Its on the TODO list
Factorio is in a state that even though is not yet finished, it is very close to its 1.0 version. That means that most of the work is done and we are polishing the game in order to make it bright. That's what we've been doing for the past 2 weeks. Literally making it bright.
Since years I wanted to do this post-production work. But I didn't dare to do it until most of the graphics were finished. I was afraid of breaking the consistency of the look and our production pipeline.
Now it's different. There's only a couple of entities to re-design and some other stuff to do, but in general this missing details are not affecting the possibility of working in the post-production.
Factorio is a dark game. I mean conceptually. All these things about industrializing a planet, polluting an entire world just for the sake of the factory, and killing all its inhabitants are not precisely happy concepts full of lig...
Read moreI wonder if the pathfinding is time limited or what limits it. Determinism makes this a tricky question.
They are limited by number of pathfinding steps the pathfinder can perform each tick
Are your video drivers up to date?
Hmm, i'll take a look at it, maybe we could do some tweaking
Isn't klonan experimenting with batch building with his construction drones mod?
Thats just silly mod fun, no concern over performance there
Does batch building also work with deconstruction?
Nope
I wonder if they're going add support for my Corsair k70's RGB 🤔
We were in talks with Corsair about adding their RGB support to the game.
However due to the way their software works (which is different to Razer and Logitech), it was much more difficult to add their RGB to the game, so we decided not to do it.
