I must admit... how this one happened has me intensely curious.

Surely they just directly entered mod_setting = 1/30 into the config file

Let the pvp begin!

Something like this comes to mind:

Code: Select all

int value = parseInt('1/30');

Awesome job squashing bugs!

Coal Liquification Issue: Raw inputs have been swapped.

I'm using coal liquification in my current base for oil. The inputs for steam and heavy oil have been swapped by the last patch, rendering my build inoperative till I fix it.
Was there a specific reason why this was done?

i'm guessing it has to do with "Ingredients in recipes are automatically sorted."

I think this is also breaking the GDIW mod that adds recipes that swap fluid input/output orders, the outputs still reorder but the inputs do not.

So...will the 'auto-sorting' been kept as a feature or fix in next release? I just found many of my designs for Angel's petrochem been affected with this new feature.

it's now changed in the next version of 0.16. so fluid inputs aren't sorted - only items.

Logistic Train Network mod is crashing, is this related to

Partially fixed trains sending circuit networks signal to the wrong station. (53688)

?

[HammerPiano]

Added 'Max players', 'Neutral chests' and 'DEFCON mode' PvP options.

What is DEFCON mode?

[Cisz]

Alien Biomes Mod seems to be broken for me now. Edit: The next patch fixed it. Yay.

Walls will extend towards cliffs same as they already do towards water. (58273)

The issue of walls leaving a gap when connecting them to cliffs works a lot better now. However, the issue has not been completely fixed. It is sometimes still possible for the player to move through the gap. See my bug report thread quoted above for further details.

• Fixed crash with high-speed short trains crashing into something. (58504)

Great. So that means short trains can no longer "crash"? They are op then.

No, crash the game.

[Tekky]

No, crash the game.

I'm sure he knew that. It was a pun.

Ah, okay. I guess in hindsight that would make more sense. I've never been great at recognizing puns, although I've lived with them all my life (*cough cough* siblings and high school)
