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

Got an error on updating to .12.4, and straight after Avast anti virus told me it was deep-scanning some new files in the Factorio folder. The game restarted automaticly when that was done, to 0.12.4, showing the changelog as expected.

Win 8 - x64, zip version, full screen

[edit] tried again with a different folder, no crash, Avast scan again, this time with a windowed Factorio
[edit2] installed it 3x on the same system, all got anti virus scan, none crashed

I made two changes in the file, just some numbers shuffled around. Why does the update care about them?
Would it not just replace the file if the patch changed something.

Nope. Changing the base files isn't recommended. If you want to upgrade you'll want to either change the file back to what it was or download the installer.

If you want, you can just copy the entire base directory into the mods folder and then make the changes, thus your changes will override the base without overwriting the base.

Something that didn't get added in correctly to 0.12.4's changelog:
Scripting:
- Added LuaEntityPrototype::autoplace_specification read.

Will updates ever be available for download on the site so we can manually install?

Something like this should work, at least on linux: https://github.com/narc0tiq/factorio-updater (Thread: https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... 33&t=14626)
Headless servers use the same data as regular clients, so it should work on any installation of Factorio.
I've no experience with python, so I can't tell if you can use it on windows.

Code: Select all

python update_factorio.py -u Narc -t xyz123abc456def789ghijklmnopqr -p core-linux64 -f 0.12.2 -x
As far as I understand it, you give it your current version, the username, token and desired architecture (core-linux32,core-linux64,core-mac,core-win32,core-win64) and it downloads the update package(s) for you.

You can only download full installs. I'm asking about downloading the updates, which are much smaller.

Updates will never be available on the site. They are designed to be downloaded and applied in order, it's too easy to mess that up when doing it by hand.

You can use https://github.com/narc0tiq/factorio-updater if you really know what you're doing.

I think you mean to say, "reversed." Either way, I love this change! Now if this could be applied to logistics bots, it'd be perfect!
