• Minor Features
  • Added logistics auto-trash slots: the opposite of logistic request slots.

  • Fixed crash related to wire rendering after switching to copper wire while dragging wire. (29216)
  • Map generator tweaks (predictable starting area resources, water only in starting area works now, fixed a few bugs in biome generation).
  • Fixed chat message rainbow when the game tick would go past 2147483648. (29307)
  • Fixed password field not being focused when connecting to a game. (29175)

Yes! Can't wait to test this

Added --mod-directory: Specifies which mod directory to use

YESSSSS! I can remove the drudgery and error prone process of switching from development directory to actual mod directory I am using.

Ooooh, just noticed it states the name of the mod currently being loaded on the loading screen now
Was that change from a previous version that I just now noticed, or an untracked new minor change? Either way, I liiike~

Awww, but it was fun!

seriously though, my enemies mod was a huge culprit for doing this, the subject came up quite often.

This one was one of my suggestions!

Another useful one.

Love all the changes. However, I'm getting periodic and heavy UPS slowdowns. I haven't tested reproducibility yet.

Any mod that runs find_entities on a single tile is broken and causes huge slowdowns.

Me and a friend have just been doing a couple of achievement runs and we were scratching our heads at what the hell the enemies were doing. "Are they eating eachother? Ewww."

Sadly, unplayable here because of viewtopic.php?f=30&t=29614 - seems to be a linux specific(?) CTD on any form of hand crafting. *sigh*

After getting a crash in my 0.13.9 game (and posting the bug), I tried a brand new game with this version. As soon as I tried to craft a pick axe, boom, game closed. Forgot to mention, I was running this game from Steam client on Linux

Instead of a `--mod-directory` switch, have you thought about replacing the mods directory with a set of subfolders? Say, any mod in `./mods/` is loaded always, any mods in `./mods/someOtherDir` gets loaded by selecting the `someOtherDir` mod 'pack' in-game, where it then re-loads using that mod subdirectory as a 'pack' of a sort (perhaps even support a `modpack.json` file or so for a modpack description file, could then load such a directory up as a zip even?).

I'm loving how richness affects variation now however I'm having the HARDEST time getting a desert, kindve missing the segmentation setting now haha. But its a step in the right direction resource distribution wise I'd say near perfect. I dont mind grass, I mind trees. Nice work guys! The crop circles are a litte odd though. Although I think ill revert to .9 for now I simply cannot roll a map to my likings, but I'll play with the mapgen settings some more they are verrrry different now.

All lights green for this build!
It feels snappier then the last version and is running overall smoothly

Hi,

how does --mod-directory work?
I have a steam-version of factorio.

THX

I am out of the country atm, so mobile internet for me now. After I saw there was some map gen changes I couldn't resist, so I paid £2 for the update data. Loving it so far. Thumbs up!

Yes it's not mentioned in the changelog. Was surprised too.
The downside is, the mod names are shown twice or three times because of data, data-updates and data-final-fixes i guess.
This could lead to distortion for average users.
Maybe the state can be shown before mod name: "Loading mods: [data] base" ...

0.13.10 is crashing on linux

I'm having the same problem. Version 0.13.10 (haven't tried 0.13.9) on steam and ubuntu. Game closes the moment I craft a pick axe.

Edit: Only just saw that its going to be fixxed in 0.13.11 Can't wait. Thanks for the good work guys!
