Modding

• Added LoaderPrototype::frozen_patch_in and frozen_patch_out.

Use the automatic updater if you can (check experimental updates in other settings) or download full installation at https://www.factorio.com/download/experimental.

Just wanted to thank you all for the hard work on these regular patches! Your dedication is admirable and very much appreciated! 🫡

Is smart belt placement toggle back?

Very Nice

Good work, you guys must have skipped the weekend break!

The devs working during weekend and Czech national holiday, just amazing <3

2 things about Updates.....

First, I noticed instead of downloading just a patch(?), the game seems to be redownloading the entire game again?
(Maybe it always did this but due to the much larger size of 2.0 SA it's just more noticeable.)

Second, my download for 2.0.12 keeps stopping after a few minutes about ~10% of the way on the progress bar, (happened 4 times now) and stopping with the error message "Update Failed:"
(Maybe the server is just real busy with everyone trying to download the update now? I have never had a problem with download speed or completion before.)


EDIT: 6 hours later I tried again and it downloaded in about 15-20 seconds.

Oh, so it was a bug. It was confusing me so much

Developers - you are the best!)
I can't stop wondering
However, after updating Headless Version 2.0.12, when logging on to the server after +- 5 minutes, a crash occurs (the server does not respond)

whether it's my fault, or something is wrong with the update, I haven't had time to find out yet (

_______________
PS

So, I will complete my post

I found time to sit and read the logs
The problem was in the script that I wrote to update the server automatically

I changed it incorrectly, which is why the owner of the mods and saves files was root, and the server itself, of course, does not work from root,

Thanks again for what you are doing

It looks like the Windows installer and Linux stand-alone downloads for the non-expansion version are not working right. I get download times of 7 or 8 hours (the Space Age downloads are in the 30-minute range) and then it eventually fails on Network Error. It has been thus for upwards of 2 hours.

My vanilla run + DLC now says it's modded and I didn't get the achievements on Steam after reaching Fulgora... No mods, no console commands...
Is my save ruined now?

I see the same thing - running vanilla with space age, but considers itself modded. Also with this version, suddenly the map is showing up as gridded, but I
don't think I modified any options... nor see where I can disable that.

OK, I recant my report - somehow "Factorio Standard Library" got added to my game (which I saw was updated, but I wasn't running with it previously so I'm surprised it activated itself). Anyway, disabling that and I'm back to a vanilla game without a grid (so that mod somehow enabled it!?).

A clarifying question. When you mention 'gridded', do you see 32-tile wide and tall chunks with a slightly heavier weight to those lines? If so, then you probably have a debug feature turn on by accident.

To remove the grid:

• Press F4

• Look through the list for an attribute named (something like) show-tile-grid

• Clear the checkbox beside the attribute

• Close or dismiss the pop-up window (Either press F4 or click on the X

The grid of thin black lines should be gone.

I hope that this was helpful.

Also, you might find that some of the debug features can be helpful to your gameplay, if you stick to those that are 'permitted' by speed running rules. I tend to turn on multiplayer-latency (or something like that), which shows how well my PC is performing on large multiplayer maps. I can tell just by looking at the numbers, when my PC will be dropped from a server, because my jumps exceed 1000, with no chance of catching up.

Other debug features should be left alone, unless you are doing some serious troubleshooting or testing. Just fair warning.

Yes, that's what I was seeing. Thanks for the info about F4, I'd never run into that despite playing since 0.10 or thereabouts!

i think F5 directly toggles the grid - easy to toggle it on by accident and then being confused by it )

F5 toggles whatever you configured as debug with F4.
show-tile-grid might be pre-configured by default ?

We sometimes remove obsolete options for the sake of the sake of simplicity.
With smart belt building, it was first off by default, then we changed it to be on by default, as we started to be confident with it.
Then after long time, even speedrunners realized it is better and started using it and we assumed practically no one has a reason to stick with the old settings, so we cleaned up the code and removed it.

This is just about getting used to something which is better, instead of writing under every release.
