Very noticable speedup of game startup time on my 10 year old pooter! Thank you!

There is also a new limit for roboport recharge_minimum that did not make it into the changelog: viewtopic.php?p=569096#p569096.

Awesome! Thanks, devs!

Steam is screwed...
Experimental 1.1.59 has gone missing, selecting it gives you 1.1.60. and when was 59 latest when there is a 60?

Also I'm almost sure I had locked onto 1.1.59, but got 1.1.60 anyway.

Also noticed that Steam does not have some versions that factorio.com does. 1.1.51 and 52 for example. Not sure whether that's deliberate.

And didn't there use to be a 'latest experimental' with no number specified? That's not there.

This I’m pretty sure is deliberate. I believe there is either a limit or a cost associated with keeping many different versions available on Steam.

Here's your confirmation : viewtopic.php?p=498922#p498922

it has not gone missing, it was renamed to "Stable 1.1.59", as it was apparently declared such nearly a month ago.

selecting what? the thing that is allegedly not there anymore?

DRY411S wrote: ↑Mon Jun 06, 2022 4:32 pm and when was 59 latest when there is a 60?

the "Latest (...) (1.1.59)" is 1.1.60. they forgot to rename it.

you are either wrong, or it's a Steam issue. just downgrade it, and if needed report the issue to Valve.

it's still there, but with the number specified (just like the 1.1.59 becoming "stable"). since February 2021.
why would they have the same branch twice, one with a number specified and one without?

Steam started to give me 503 bad gateway when I was about to rename it and I forgot to try again.

Anyway ... 1.1.x is the latest experimental version, no matter what version it says in the description.

This would allow you to specify that whenever a new beta is released, you want it. I had thought (perhaps incorrectly) that this did not include the current version number. So those are not the same branch. One is fixed version number, the other is 'latest'.

I would expect when there is a new experimental release it would be available as 'latest experimental' and 'experimental (version number)'. This would allow us to fix on a specific release at the point it is released.

Well, that's the case. But, also ... if you need to fix on a specific release, download ZIP from the website, don't do it on Steam, as your specific release branch will be deleted sooner or later.

Understood.

I do this rarely, only when I want to complete a playthrough on a fixed version so I have a replay. I 'play' on Steam and test my mod on a website ZIP for more control over versioning.

Wow, that's ridiculously fast now with seablock. Great stuff!!

Have you looked at a base that is approaching 10k SPM for areas to tune the game?
