Amazing changes, feeling hopeful for a system that we can calculate ahead instead of trial and error in the editor. Specially excited not to have to worry about build order ever again.

Just one thing: is there any planned improvements to heat pipes? Currently they don't communicate very well how ...

The beacon FFF mentioned that using beacons seems restrictive on build variety and tends to feel monotonous and uninteresting and it showed a picture labeled "8 Beacon build" as an example of this boring and uninteresting setup that feels mandatory at some point. Which I agree wholeheartedly.

A few ...

Windows 10, the power plant works in 1.1.56 and breaks on 1.1.57.

Interesting. I made a lot of testing power plants, there is such trick.
Make sure your steam flows like this : Heater > Turbine > Storage
or
Storage > Heater > Turbine

When you place storage in the midle (Heater > Storage > Turbine) of the flow, it could work as a plug. Due to flow preassure ...

I dont have time for deep analys, but can you post a screen at night ? So it is visible where the heat is ?
Also check the water supply.

This was taken on 1.1.57. In this screenshot, the heat pipe on the bottom right side is 80º hotter than the left one (and climbing). Since ...

Would a mod kindly move this to the Bug Report section, I have no idea how it went in Gameplay Help, since I clicked the add post from there (maybe the fact that I had to login in between).

I have a nuclear reactor that stops working properly as soon as I load my save on the 1.1.57 version.

The orange line, which was stable for dozens of hours, dropping only when there was no energy use, becomes irregular in the exact moment the game loads into the 1.1.57 ...

Can I finally blueprint this in 1.1?

Amazing, now we can finally set a supply / demand train network, without the nightmare of manually balancing everything.

Now, if only we could centralize train refueling. Maybe optional station conditions (go there if fuel count < X). What about GLOBAL train conditions, something that you set once ...

Stay strong kovarex!

The new library looks great. One of the big problems of the live version is that input is kinda of a mess. You left click to pick blueprints, but right click to open books, so I always wrongly pick the book that I'm trying to open. I was hoping for a more standard click to ...

Looks great. Just please, please, for the love of all that you hold dear, DO NOT change the forums to one of those infinite scrolling layouts. You can't search, you can't link. It's a nightmare. I can't even comprehend why they became so popular. Just no, please.

I do like the final new beacon design, but removing the alt view from it is a very bad thing imo. It's inconsistent with the modules in asm and it's very much harder to see if the beacon has modules inserted compared to alt mode which is there to actually give that improved overview.
The alt view ...

Perhaps this is a good time to ask: why the stack filter inserter can have only one filter, while the regular filter inserter supports 5?

I once tried to make an unloader that cleaned my building train from wood, coal and stone, but the stack filter inserter seemed needlessly limited.

Cool.

Will we eventually get proper nuke explosions? You know, mushrooms, and blinding lights, and shockwaves, and stuff.

If I may, I think you guys forgot the most important aspect of beacons: they are support units. They don't do anything, they just exist so stuff around them do things better.

Let's take a look at this: https://cdn.factorio.com/assets/img/blog/fff-339-composition.png

A problem with scaling wave defense scenarios is that the only way to scale attacks is to increase the ammount of biters. As you increase the number of players, and they get gear, waves become trivial, even when you have thousands of enemies. But at that point, half the server stopped playing ...

The numbers, what do they mean?

Hi,

Last week I reported that the Loss side of the Kill count was incorrectly reporting some values, and Rseding stablished that some values were being incorrectly rounded, and it was fixed.

But today I came upon something fishy:

Amazing, that was fast.

Sure.
