Hello,
I just started playing after a long pause and just noticed that iron sticks recipe have been removed from the game in 0.17.13 update. But when I open the game I can craft them. Is there something I am missing? I mean the recipe is still available. Here is an image of the update post. Image
Thank you in advance!

  • Removed unneeded Iron stick recipe from NPE
NPE was a scenario that does not even exist anymore.

OOh does this mean that actually it was never removed from the freeplay/campaign?

No, they were an essential part of e.g. rails.

I suggest you forget everything you did know from the old versions you played and just start the just released 2.0 version of the game as if it is a new game. Everything has changed except the core game concept: build stuff to automate, automate to build new stuff. It's of no use to study ancient game updates. Everything has changed somehow. Just start the game, create a new map, and have fun as it is now!

If you want to know about some given item, where it's produced and where it's consumed and how to produce it, do ALT-leftclick on it and get the ingame Factoriopedia entry. This works wherever the item's icon is visible, doesn't need to be a real item you have to click.
