First of all thank you Wube for taking the time to explain your thoughts and considering community feedback! Second, thank you very much V453000 for the Oil-changes mod, having this option to try out the changes provides a very good base for discussion and is really appreciated! Would it be possible...

I played over 15 hours of 0.17.14 during the weekend, and there were no freezes. This morning I played around 1.5 hours of 0.17.15 and there was a noticeable hitch for around 2 seconds (which was not an autosave, autosave triggered around 30 seconds later), but no freezes. I'll post updates if I get...

I wasn't doing anything complicated, just laying down another line of belts when the game froze. I waited a few seconds, thinking it's just the usual save game hitch, but when nothing happened, I tried to minimize the window to see if it would react. The window resized, but Factorio remained frozen....

Ok, thanks for the explanation!

I copy-pasted an Assembly Machine 2 making Processing Units, and the ghost image had two pipes instead of one, as if the rotated and default positions were combined into a single ghost.

I can confirm this on 0.17.8. Time passed is uncapped and works as expected, but time of inactivity is capped at 120s.

I can reproduce this on unmodded 0.17.8. With modular armor, small biters do no damage.

Cannot reproduce on unmodded 0.17.8. The atomic bomb correctly creates the area of effect for me.

No, the settings were from a previous 0.17.2 install.

Train sounds work fine for me on a full fresh install of 0.17.4, both repeated track sounds and the breaking steam sound play as they should and I can hear them just fine.

I downloaded and extracted the full 0.17.4 tarball, copied over my config and saves into the new structure, then tried to start the game. The first time I tried to start the game I got the following error: 0.000 2019-03-02 06:58:24; Factorio 0.17.4 (build 43174, linux64, alpha) 0.035 Operating syste...

Those are intended decorations on the GUI.

@Hexalan : There is a separate bug report for the bad_alloc on Linux: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=65264

Same here. Latest updates on Ubuntu 18.04 trying to update from 0.17.0 to 0.17.1 always crashes. If I click "Update now" on the popup on startup I get std::bad_alloc. If I select "Ask me later" then go to "About" -> "Check updates" and "Update now" I...

Oh lol! I should totally get some sleep. Thanks

When I insert a logistic robot into a roboport in a tiny network (of only one roboport), it vanishes if it is idle. Happens every time on that save game in that roboport. What is even more surprising, is that when I connect that single roboport into the main logistic network, the effect persists - a...

I would like to second the opinions to make cutscenes optional and/or skippable. The presented clip does make me feel uncomfortable. All required information (objectives/requirements/target location) should have already been presented in other means anyway (text, markers on map, arrow on edge of the...

Spoon isn't twitchy, at least in my opinion it isn't. 8 hours is more than enough time to execute any build you have planned (and perhaps practiced) earlier. It might not be enough if you're going in blind, but the expectation of having a plan fits Factorio reasonably well. Plus it is 8 hours in-gam...

I think the 8 hours achievement is great, and if anything, harder achievements should be added! Achievements should require some effort, not be given out automatically just for having the game installed. I had about ~500 hours in Factorio before I decided to finally sit down and do all the achieveme...
