It's new concrete, but what devilwarriors is talking about is the angled concrete as shown in FFF120.

thank you for releasing 13.2 so soon! appreciated

Time to start a 0.13 game for me

[Bi0nicM4n]

I hope you take this into consideration for fixing in the next release: Terrain Generation in 0.13.1. The problem is that water generation is very edgy, and with "water only in starting area" setting water is still generated all over the world. Terrain segmentation also seems nonfunctional, there is no more a possibility to get a single biome continent like in 0.12 (at least 1km x 1km sized).

I second this. I guess the resource generation problem is related.
With water size to Big, and resources to Low, the starting area will be missing at least one key resource most of the time.

Wow! At the moment I wanted to post a bug I see a patch which fixes it already! And its 2nd time in a row!

Thumbs up Factorio devs, you rock!

Hey, just noticed something.

When launching the headless server, when you create a new game. It is not saved in the "saves" folder but it is saved in the current folder.

Same thing with you launch the headless with --start-server-load-latest, it looks for files in the current folder in stead of the "saves" folder.

Is this normal and is this going to stay this way ? If not, is it something that will be fixed quickly or is it going to take some time ?

Thanks for replying

[EDIT] by current folder, I mean the folder you're in when launching the game

[epsinator]

Hello,
Can't seem to connect electrical wires to power switch (image bellow), is this a known bug or i'm doing it wrong?

[EDIT 1] I'm trying to do it like in : https://www.factorio.com/blog/post/fff-115
[EDIT 2] Nevermind i found it! I had to use the Copper cable like a circuit Red/Green wire to connect them. Didn't thought of that.
For ppl to know how to do this:

Also thanks for this awesome game! 0.13 is AWSM!

The research screen needs some alterations.

On a 1440p display, the relevant information is all shot up into the top left corner, and the tree takes up just a tiny part in the center of the screen. The rest is unused grey.
Also, the research button itself sometimes wanders off the screen to the right (not in this screenshot tho, was in 0.13.1. maybe you fixed it?)

I suggest the research window not be fullscreen, and instead adjustable size, or size dependent on resolution.

My understanding is this: If you take the zipped version from their website and stick it on a folder on your desktop then yes it will look for saves in that folder (not the folder that factorio.exe is in but the topmost folder that every other folder is in, e.g. you extracted the Zip to a folder on your desktop named "Factorio 0.13.2" and then run a headless server from there it will look for a saves folder in "Factorio 0.13.2"). If you INSTALL Factorio then it will look in %AppData%\Factorio for a saves folder.

Also, the research button itself sometimes wanders off the screen to the right (not in this screenshot tho, was in 0.13.1. maybe you fixed it?)

They fixed that in 0.13.2, did you not read the changelog?

[Killkrog]

Good work guys! Thanks and keep it up!

[Tepalus]

I've started a new game after i've seen the new update but i discovered there is a problem with mapgeneration!

After restarting with different settings, there was allways tons of water and some resourcs were missing in the startarea. Will this be fixed soon?

Also the new concrete-style is missing, isn't it?


But over all a very nice update!
I hope it's a challenge to get all achievements!

[xcompwiz]

Thanks for fixing all these things so quickly! You guys rock.

I love the changes, too. Nice improvements.

It is like this on purpose, lot of other research trees are much bigger so we need as much space for the tree as possible.

[bobingabout]

Considering the research icons are so big, and most trees are relatively small, with slider bars, I personally think the division should be more half and half.
