Version 1.1.0

[valneq]

It's not gonna help anyone, but my standalone Linux copy of Factorio updated just fine when the 1.1.0 became available . I am surprised so see that many other people have problems .

[NotRexButCaesar]

Thx for the info...now do we copy over the whole game to existing one or should we copy only the basics into the new game update (full game folder) like mod;settings etc

Just replacing bin and data in your install directory fixed everything for me

After downloading the whole game direct, I can run the latest release of Factorio but get this message on the Mac:

In some ways it gets scary how well polished this game is...

I'm really excited to play 1.1 now.
Also the drawstring backpack just arrived today. This is probably the second best factorio-day after the release of 1.0.

Tho I would like it if the menu simulations in the background were a bit longer. Especially those where there's only a factory working on something. Would be a more relaxing view if they wouldn't switch so fast to the next simulation. Maybe a smooth transition from one to the next would also be good. But I really like the idea.
About the content of those simulations: Imo there are too many simulations depicting combat compared to one of the factory working. Also there are three (or more?) sims in which exactly the same biter nest is destroyed in different ways.

Hmm, how to update via steam?

[ptx0]

Lowered volume on game won and lost sounds.

the bug so nice you fixed it twice

Here's how.

I'm assuming the blueprint change (power poles remembering connections) doesn't break old blueprints, correct? So old-non-connected blueprinted powerpoles will still autoconnect randomly to each other?

[teleksterling]

Awesome about flipping blueprints! I assume signals and stations will just be broken in flipped ones?

you aren't allowed to flip stuff if it would break

• Added logistic requests to spidertron.
• Added support to use blueprints, deconstruction planners, upgrade planners, and modded selection tools from the map view.
• Added vertical/horizontal blueprint flipping.
• Ghost build can be used to fast replace non-ghost entities, which results in an upgrade order with (optionally) a direction change order.
• Power pole connections are saved in the blueprint. They still auto connect to other poles outside the blueprint.

Lots of good stuff here!

• Added support to use the add-stop and add-temporary-stop controls for the train you're driving in the map view.

OK, but what's really needed here is a sensible default waiting condition for the temporary stop. My vote would be for switching to manual on arrival, but almost anything would be an improvement on 'wait 5 seconds and then go away again'.

• Productivity module 1 decreases speed of the machine by 5% instead of 15%.
• Productivity module 2 decreases speed of the machine by 10% instead of 15%.

Unexpected. Probably a good change, but it makes productivity 1 modules an absolute no-brainer anywhere you can use them.

• Clicking non-empty quickbar slot with something in cursor sets the quickbar slot to the cursor value rather than selecting the quickbar value.

Aargh, no! I agree that the previous set-up is slightly inconvenient when you do want to change the contents of the quickbar slot, but this doubles the effort required to use the quickbar (you have to clear your cursor before clicking), which is far more important.

• Arithmetic combinator 'Each' signal can now be used in either left or right parameter.

Cute. Now I have to remember where I wanted it on the other side ...

Yes, since we have map version saved in blueprint/strings we could apply one time migration that adds the connections for these.

Balancing

• Productivity module 1 decreases speed of the machine by 5% instead of 15%.
• Productivity module 2 decreases speed of the machine by 10% instead of 15%.

Why?

Just trying to understand what's wrong with 15%.

[UraniumAnchor]

Be honest, you dropped this now because Shadowlands is releasing hours from now and you wanted to go play that.

(I kid, just funny timing.)

Mostly agree. I can se it as an setting. Different players may prefer different variations: some use quickbar with mouse (old style is mostly better), some with keyboard (new style is better).

I was going to reply to a comment on when 1.1 would be out a few hours ago, but scrapped it because I couldn't be bothered to finish writing it and I might come to regret making predictions...

I should have made bolder predictions.

Optimisations

• Multithreaded belt update logic.

Excuse me WHAT? Why didn't I get an FFF on this?

Mostly because with the first tier of productivity modules you get the full punishment for speed, but rather little productivity. Having the upgrades not be a strict upgrade, but rather increasing the downsides as you gain more speed, is more interesting.

Also, this means that productivity module 1 does not decrease throughput of the machine, so it's not as necessary to use beacons as early.

You can still middle-click to just set the filter, but keep the item in your hand.
