Questionable English

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I found some questionable English text in the game.

The text appears at the end of the last section of the New Hope campaign.

While it is easy enough to understand, it looks bad, to me at least.

So on the picture the first red painted word should probably be "that" rather than "what", or possibly just delete the word entirely.
And since I'm already on it, the first yellow painted "the" should probably not be there, unless you are assuming "the Factorio game", in which case you should probably just write that whole thing.
Similarly with the second yellow painted "the" seems to assume "the Freeplay game mode" or something similar, and again I recommend removing "the" or typing the entire sentence.

Anyway love the game, and just want to help make it a tiny bit better.
By now I can say with confidence that Factorio is the game I have played the most ever!

BTW I'm on the 0.13.11, but that is probably not relevant in this case.

Thanks for the report,

I have moved the post to the translations forum.

The proper way to alert these issues to us is join the community on crowdin:
https://crowdin.com/project/factorio

And you can submit things there

For the translating community I thank you for the report.

It got noted and will be fixed in following releases.

Klonan is right, if you find more mistakes like that, Crowdin is the place from where they will get fixed fastest.
