That is a hell of a lot of ram, servers dont even have that much!

no amount of RAM is enough for a little piece of bugged code, or one that accepts any value a user can enter

This is why I applied to work for Intel to use their company servers. Dodged a bullet there.

We have a pair of 64TByte machines, but I´ll get either shot by the other admins for trying to install or we´ll ruin the company ifwhen I infect the others with factorio. Either way I´d need a build for AIX...

I second the AIX build request!

ps - e | grep "Factorio"

Ahhh bliss!!

Everything works in this new version. :> Super stable once again, and the new ore icons look awwwwesome! :D

[ChurchOrganist]

Is anyone else getting an "on_placed_blueprint" message when pasting or placing a blueprint with non-vanilla entities??

[akynaston]

Love the updates, thx guys. Quick side question: What source code repository do you use to store your code? GIT? SVN? CVS (gasp . .) . .

[Bilka]

We use git.
