Pretty latent update.

A move that has not resolved yet is known as an "outstanding move". The Factorio client tracks these using the "latency state".

Factorio now implements the Axiom of Choice! Horray!

Hoping for

• increased spidertron movement speed or equipment grid size

Nah, the spidertron speed buff I want to see is "Spidertron can now climb on and attach itself to a train wagon"

Thanks, I made the grey signal darker to fit better between white and black.

I've been thinking about the special each/anything/everything signals to be different than just yellow/green/red. I'll do something but I need some more time to think about it.

Easy answer: * / ∃ / ∀

Changes

• Crafting machines will now refund item ingredients when crafting is cancelled before finishing.

I had *thought* something was going wrong in my Lazy Bastard run! This confirms it finally.

In the real world, uranium projectiles are made of depleted uranium... You can make DU bullets and DU cannon rounds with 238U "DU" ingame can't you? Sure, but now you've just transferred the storage problem from large quantities of DU items to large quantities of bullets and cannon round ...

Hold both CTRL and ALT when clicking a location in the world or on the map to ping that location in chat, which shows up as a giant X in game.

Significantly more obtrusive and lingering than visible selection boxes, but it gets the job done.

The problem with replacing is that players now have to deal with the problem of storage and destroying large quantities of "depleted uranium". The point of the Kovarex process is to give a gameplay flow that does not involve unbounded item storage requirements, as there is no method in van...

I enjoyed the NPE a lot, but I unfortunately agree that taking it out is for the best. The thing that finally convinced me was the realization in this article that the NPE campaign was promising a questing experience that Factorio was never going to deliver. Sure, with infinite budget an entirely ne...

Unfortunatelly, macOS Steam build failed Apple notarization, so macOS Catalina users who play the experimental releases on Steam need to revert to 0.18.3 or donwload the DRM-free package from factorio.com. Why oh why is this even a thing that can happen? Mad at Apple, not at you. They were clearly ...

On blueprints.

1) Build it yourself first.
2) Don't be afraid to tweak the designs.
3) With great power comes great responsibility.

• Unclear what it meant by "collect some of your belongings" - and then to have everything destroyed

It does seem like multiple people are missing the part where the text says "Prepare to evacuate".

A minor suggestion - make the "New Deconstruction Planner" button be a 'pick up deconstruction planner' item slot instead, so it gets replaced with a hand like a normal blueprint and will get "deleted" when you press Q. If you want to make a filtered decon planner, place it in yo...

This bug was already fixed in 0.16.6, so are both mitigations going to be in 0.16.7 or is this one going to be cancelled/removed?

One thing I noticed is it happened after hiding and re-showing the window on XFCE. I wonder if doing that destroys and re-creates the surface Factorio is rendering to, so the mouse position doesn't make sense anymore? This is persistently a client-side only crash, which makes sense because it's cras...

I have been informed this definition of "mismatched contents" will be great for the next version of Mojo's Make Everything Factory - currently, it has an inserter wired up to empty the assembler's requester chest into the provider chest once the ME request has been satisfied. With buffer c...
