Quiting game until they fix the issue :(


tbh, I also quitted the game because of that... already 1.5 years ago. Not, because I dont like the game anymore. I just hoped that they will add more features. But then it needed 1.5 years for 2.1. And even now... nothing new lol. I hoped they will ...

im surprised that they didnt add anything in 2.1 regarding train circuit networks.

This is the first bigger patch with new features after nearly 2 years from space age release and you are really talking about things being rushed? :roll:


I'm not concerned that they're rushed, per se. I'm more concerned that Wube has announced that further development on Factorio has largely ...

Nice, finally some interesting QoL stuff to play around with. Thanks!

But also tbh im a little bit dissapointed that there are no new circuit network features for trains. Is the feature list already complete or is there still some stuff coming?

What bothers me is that they’re completely silent. In one of the FFFs after the SA release they said they might share some news once work on 2.1 has progressed well. Since we’re apparently not even at that stage yet, I think 2.1 is still far off on the horizon. I’m still surprised by the huge ...

Wait for tomorrow! 1pm! FFF incoming for sure!

At least that’s what I keep telling myself every Friday… until I get disappointed again

Well, Happy Anniversary Space Age

I thought to read something from the dev team about it, but maybe they forgot their own bday?

I keep my expectations low. In the end, it's always better to be pleasantly surprised than disappointed.

... and all the bugs are not yet fixed. Once they are, start your two-month timer.


Hello Cpt. Obvious,

my question was not if all bugs are already fixed. My question was if there are some news about the status of bug fixing and 2.1 as Wube expected themselves to be done with bug fixing after 2 ...

Im just curious if there were any news on forums or elsewhere how the status for 2.1 is? In last FFF they mentioned it will be worked on when all bugs are fixed and that they are expecting to need at least 2 months for it. Well, now we are half a year later. Im just interested in those QoL ...

oh, no one said that they are not working

I just hoped that after 3 months we get some news about how stuff is going. And that was also the intention of the thread starter. So, no complaining here, just a little bit impatience

Or are they working on 2.1 quietly?


Why quietly ?


I guess because there are no news about it. In November they said they will need approx. 2 months, now its nearly march already.

Im waiting a lot for 2.1 and for those QoL changes, expecially in circuit networks. I even stopped playing ...

The more we integrate such "redundant" pieces of the circuit network, the more we move away from the need to have multiple pieces with distinct functionality in the first place. Basically, why even have 4 types of combinators at all? Why not go about things the way Mindustry works, as an example ...

I had some similar issues some weeks ago and reported a bug. Thanksfully I got an explanation from boskid how the new deciders work in 2.0:

Deciders have 2 operation modes:
- 'normal' mode:
normal mode is active when there is NO 'each' condition on input side. So only when using 'Any', 'Everything ...

The interrupt system really feels like they wanted players to run trains in a very specific manner.


Exactly, they even wrote it in one of their FFFs that you need a depot for catching the overloaded trains...


So we just added a special interrupt condition called "Destination full", which ...

/sign

I would also like to see the ability to change the sign of a number on outputs. Lets ban all those arithmetic combinators 'Each * -1'

I just opened forum now because I wanted to make a suggestion thread about the exact same thing. Giving us a checkbox on train station targets to get reserved when being part of a schedule and a train is en route. Something like "Reserve Station Slot before approach" checkbox on every target station ...

I would like to see a belt immunity mk2 that only activates when running AGAINST a belt direction or standing on a belt and is disabled when running along belt direction

TL;DR
New special signals (i.e. something like the blueish A-Z0-9) should be treated separately and not merge. That would lead to better signal handling on bus systems and when working with IDs.


What?
Especially when working with IDs like on trains or on train stations it doesn't make sense ...
