win32 version is behind

Comment
    posila87 on Steam Forums - Thread - Direct
Explanation in FFF that KatherineOfSky mentioned: https://www.factorio.com/blog/post/fff-158

It is unfortunate we decided to drop the 32bit support just few months after releasing the game on Steam. It would not be reasonable to prevent access to the product people payed for, so we can't mark the game as 64bit only now. Doing that would make Steam Client update everyone to 64bit build of the game, and would prevent people from even installing the game on 32bit OS in the future.

If you bought the game recently and have only 32bit OS, you should request refund.

Can you send me your save game? I think you will need to clear the control.lua from inside of it

1.0 date kovarex

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...

EDIT: We managed to identify a problem, will fix it tomorrow, would advise against playing with biters on this release

Friday Facts #320 - Color correction

Color correction Albert, V453000

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...

TIL.: Biters won't attack you, if the path doesn't generated

They are limited by number of pathfinding steps the pathfinder can perform each tick

My entire PC lags when i switch from or to factorio

Are your video drivers up to date?

First launch, very long

Hello, it's usually caused by slow HDD. In subsequent starts, game files are cached in RAM by OS, so it's not reading them from disk anymore and starts fast.

Installing the game on faster HDD or SSD should help decrease the startup time.
