Very nice, Lets hope there are no major bugs!

[AnarCon]

already found a bug, for some reason after doubleclicking the 12.18.exe my doubleclick no longer works
ive checked mouse settings and it works jsut fine there, but not in explorer or anything requires doubleclick to open/execute i now gotta rclick first to open/execute and i gotta reboot puter to make it go away
oh and the factorio game never launches either (im using compressed version)
UPDATE: starting new explorer seems to reset it so it works again only until i try n run the exe
UPDATE2: to make sure i tried the installer version, it installs fine, until it wants to run the exe, then it just goes into thinking mode, nothing launches and the mouse displayes the thinkingglass as long as its overing over the background
FINAL UPDATE: and the sinner ladies and gents, my AVG;) time to add it to exceptions list

Thanks for removing the burden on my shoulders ^_^!
Look at this and be hypnotized:

offtopicstuff

Hopefully there will be no more huge mod breaking updates, unless theres a good reason behind it !

my heavily modded game just loaded fine ...

Some friends of mine both loaded the save on both linux and windows and they both crashed. Although it did take a bit longer than 5 sec at their end.

Anyway I'll take another look tomorrow. Just hate it when updates break save games. Changing your basic API is one thing, screwing it over every other update is just too much ... Prolly revert back to .17.

Why are you complaining? Disable experimental updates and your world an life is fine...

[Vile]

No issues here. Running Win 10 64-bit with 3 small mods. I really like the change to the construction bot issue with the trees now being cleared before building stuff. This was driving me nuts!

Or just wait couple days with updating like I do.

People running new games don't risk much when anything happens to their save, but when you have 100+ hours factory you should be a bit more cautious.

Having api documentation is great, but we don't have any prototype documentation.

Having api documentation is great, but we don't have any prototype documentation.

I know. Prototype documentation is going to be another big task and it's going to take quite a bit of time. It's definitely something I want to do, though.

Until then, it's all guesswork and experimentation. fun times.
