Just wondering, if there's a rough estimate on when the next stable patch will be?
We added a rolling consistency checker/scraper to the 2.0.33 release, which has helped us find a lot more edge cases and consistency problems, with the side effect of causing more user crashes at runtime.
So we have been giving ourselves time to make sure we cover as many as possible before promoting the latest releases to Stable (generally our rule is that it has to me more stable than the previous stable).
Link is broken, do you still have this solution somewhere?
I think it was something like this:

I am baffled that you had time for this but not to make the comically tiny text fields in the parameterized blueprint windows large enough to display more than 3 letters at a time.
Have you posted a suggestion on our forum about it?
Yes its actually a hiccup we experienced ourselves, but its low priority for now, we want to make it work like you expect
I can confirm it exists in 2.0.
they mention in the fff that nuclear reactors could be powered by water from trains, but we will have to see how this scales
I can supply my 2GW reactor blocks just fine :) image
Hello,
It's another week! The release is getting closer!
We added the ability to connect reactors to the circuit network, which allows the player to:
This makes it quite easy to set up a lossless smart reactor, which doesn't insert any fuel unless it is needed.
In some ways, it feels a little bit too easy. The previous solution of people reading the amount of Steam in storage tanks felt like it needed a bit more brainpower and engineering, but it's hard to justify missing capabilities with this reasoning.
Anyway... reading the heat and contents from the reactors may prove to be ...

Hello,
We are a bit busy this week hosting a small LAN party with some fans and community members to playtest the Space Age expansion, so this FFF might be a little bit shorter than normal.
As with every major update, there are a few tweaks and balancing changes we have made. With new enemies and changes to existing enemies, we took some time to look at the current balancing.
In the early game spawners are pretty tough, you need to take a good bit of time to focus fire them. As the game progresses, biters, spitters and worms all get stronger, but the spawners stay the same.
When the end-game comes around, spawners just melt the first instant you look at them with personal lasers and upgraded ammo. In some ways this is satisfying and gives a feeling of how powerful you have become, but in other ways it is just strange.
So we have...

Hello,
As the 2.0 release approaches, we have been spending time polishing and resolving things which we found during our playtesting.
It is the same old story... A feature we've wanted for a long time but was never high enough on the priority list. With more types of resources, it became a little bit more important to have a way to find resources on the map view, and with the new chart search (FFF-400), it was finally time to put it into place.
It took some care to make it work in a performance friendly way. The game doesn't keep track of ...
Read moreOh cool. Is this (map previews) something that will be available via mod API as well? Could imagine some mods wanting to make use of it.
The Camera widget is already available for mods
Wonder if I'll be able to pin my diff spidertron squads so I can easily check in and make any necessary adjustments without having to remember where I had them lol that'd be handy for all my construction spiders.
Yes!
Camera previews for map pings seem like they could also be useful.
Ah, I forgot to mention that in the FFF, we have that too!

yes
Can you also disable building function if it is not on full health? If yes then you could emulate how it is in many RTS games, where buildings are low health when you plop them down and you have to actually build them before they start to function (or wait untill they are built).
There is a mod for that: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Building_Time

We update the Switch version when a new Factorio release is made Stable.
So right now PC version is 1.1.107 and Switch version is 1.1.107
Writing a 3D game engine / rendering pipeline is way more work than a 2D game engine.
With the game engine being written from scratch by a only a few people (in the beginning), 2D was the natural choice for speed of a working prototype.
Hello,
We know you love to blow things up, and the Space Age expansion will be bringing ever more advanced and powerful ways of bearing arms against your enemies.
The rocket turret does what it says, it shoots rockets:

It is very useful as an upgrade for Space Platforms, as laser and gun turrets alone start to struggle on larger asteroids. Each size of asteroid has resistances to different types of damage, but more on that another week.
