Re: Friday Facts #347 - New hope demo levels


Was never part of the demo. We are now adding Level 4 and 5 to the demo, so the new demo will have more content than the 0.16 demo.


OK I must have mis-remembered.

My point is, regardless of demo content, why not just restore the entire new hope campaign for retail version. It was a fun memory ...

Re: Friday Facts #347 - New hope demo levels


Are you going to keep the level with the car/biters?


No, we decided just the first 2 levels are worth it,

Re: Friday Facts #347 - New hope demo levels

Re: Always capture trainstop names in blueprints

Why is this not enabled by default?

Is there a mod or vanilla config tweak to accomplish this?
