Wow congratulations! You guys worked hard on this and it has definitely payed out as far as I can tell.

Now we're waiting for 0.18

I'm dazzled by the awesome screenshot at the top of the page. What is this bright blue stuff coming out of the chemical plant and going into the output (wtf) of the refinery?

Amazing! Thanks and congratulations on the milestone. The artwork is spectacular

(but I wouldn't expect anything less from you guys

You never fail to impress me).

Congratulations and tee-shirts for ~~everyo~~ - just me, they aren't as cheap as drinks...

Congratulations! I wonder, is the Factorio logo in the image an actual tile or was it added after with some photo editor?

i opened up the game to check on something, low and behold, an update prompt was starring back at me. the angelic choir proceeded to sing the praises of the first stable .17 !!! only issue that i have found, which i will post in the bug report, is that from updating to the .69 version from the .64 version, the landfill looks great in all its glorious brown dirt, but when not zoomed in enough to see detail on the map, it still shows as green grass.

Wait a minute!

0.17 had EXACTLY 70 releases so far. If you thought you can get away with saying "nearly" because it's 69, you might be right, but it's 70. Because we are also counting 0.17.0 aren't we?

There is that update to 0.17.27 that was withdrawn almost immediately after upload -- perhaps they didn't count that?

Congratulations!

the game can now work with much less VRAM

How dare you! I bought the new graphics card to match Factorios requirements... and now this!

When 0.17 experimental came out, I basically never launched 0.16 again, because it's works a lot better with my gtx 750ti (2GB VRAM)

Very good job.

Congratulations for 0.17 stable and thanks for improving the game over all the years.

Congratulations, reading about the major (not to mention the countless not explicitly described) changes again, just shows, how much work and effort you guys put into .17. The result is worth it, great work!

TODO: new game trailer. You still have the old trailer code around, so you can do it with the new graphics and add/improve some stuff? Notably I want to see COLORED pollution clouds

When are we going to see the new graphics & GUI running on our machines?

BlueTemplar · Post by **BlueTemplar** » Wed Sep 25, 2019 8:31 am

Now ?

I don’t see any new graphics in the most recent experimental
