I can finally update my world that I've been working on for 9944 hours. The relief is sweet knowing that I can finally place a train and finish my remaining achievements. Thank you, devs, for fixing this little bug that has lurked in the saves of the biggest factories for too long.

This has increased the size of the doc-html folder from 26 Mo in 1.1.76 to 173 Mo in 1.1.94.
Which is fairly negligible when Factorio's own folder went from 1800 Mo to 1900 Mo.
Which made me wonder : how big is the wiki itself ? If it's also around 200 Mo (or less), why not also include the latest offline version of it ? And add a Wiki button in the game, which would redirect to the online version if pinged, and the offline version if not ?

I expect the wiki to be much heavier than 200 Mo due to pictures and videos ( at least 10 times ) , which is sad because they are already in the game, so it could be just the text, and images from the game engine rather than heavy web-images.

The in game help menu is better at providing images/ small simulations but many of the wiki text is based on images that would the need to be recreated for it to make sense. which may miss the point if light work was the goal.

If adding more in-game help is the aim, it may be possible to add some advanced tutorial or sections in the in-game help menu as those are less advanced and more practical explanations than what is found on the wiki.
