Version 0.17.16

[FactorioBot]

Changes

• Disabled vanilla pollution attacks in the NPE until after the final wave.
• Changing teams in PvP will try to preserve the current character. (68018)

Bugfixes

• Fixed alerts showing for trees and rocks in the NPE (65370)
• Fixed solid fuel not triggering "fuel furnace" quest item (67941)
• Potentially fixed scrap metal crash bug again (67821)
• Fixed that a fluid furnace revived from a ghost would not work. (67372)
• Fixed that launching tutorials could leave the running game in a broken state. (68046)
• Fixed that clearing the ghost cursor did not clear the hand in the quickbar. (68062)
• Fixed Compilatron blocking placement of burner inserter in NPE (68063)
• Fixing a bug from last version that allowed fluid mixing by setting a recipe in assembler. (68074)
• Different alert when unable to revive ghost due to fluid mixing by hand vs. by robot. (68074)
• Fixed spitters would not properly target construction robots that are blocked from fulfilling their task. (67886)
• Fixed a crash when joining Steam game invites while a multiplayer connection is in progress.
• Fixed that the "research finished" indicator would display the wrong technology level. (67864)
• Fixed a crash when removing the end rail of a temporary train order. (67926)
• Fixed that cargo wagon filters wouldn't get preserved in blueprint strings. (67641)

Scripting

• Fixed that printing the output of LuaProfiler anywhere except log(...) would cause a desync. Note: this means if the results are shown in things like player.print() they won't persist through save/load (but won't cause desyncs).
• Fixed Electric Pole smart coverage placement not building over other pole ghosts. (68083)

Do I even read the changelog? [Moderated by Koub]

When to we get the UI improvements? The new UI is still very clunky and we only got bug fixes so far.

Do I even read the changelog? No. Do I want to be first? Yes

I opened .15 and .16 and read them in-order. While reading the complete .15 changelog, I could have been first on .16. Now you're too fast for me. I should have checked this page first

And it would have been pointless. Good thing you didn't.

or make such a mess they have to frenetically patch the game...
Seriously the experimental branch is more stable and polished than most AAA games on release day.

Hi McPoldy, you should definitely post your issue in the Technical Help subforum, with your game logs, ...

It seems that what they're actually doing is 1 patch per work day ?

Hi team,

My latest save is now broken after updating, no mods installed and I haven't modified anything in the vanilla game:

Here's the error:

Code: Select all

Error while running event level::on_load()

...Data/Roaming/Factorio/temp/currently-playing/control.lua:508: attempt to index field 'story' (a nil value)

stack traceback:

...Data/Roaming/Factorio/temp/currently-playing/control.lua:508: in function <...Data/Roaming/Factorio/temp/currently-playing/control.lua:507>

https://pastebin.com/7VFEunwM Pastebin of my factorio-current after the issue

EDIT: This only seems to be saves on version 0.17.15, older saves prior to this version still work any save with this version including auto-saves presents the same error.

[Mendel]

Any idea when the campaign will be complete?
I don't want to start it before it has all the missions.
