wow that was fast

Thank you very much, now we can spent the entire night on this awesome awesome game

Someone told me player deaths only announce to their force. What if another force kills them? I hope this can be custom scripted in control.lua...

In a pvp situation I think the intent is to not let other teams know.

but... isn't that kind of what you want in a PvP? If your team/force kills someone on the opposing team/force, you want your team to know they died, and you were the killer...

Sure but you don't want other team to know your base is over run by biters, or you got hit by a train, etc.

Maybe it should announce deaths to the player's force, and the force of whoever was responsible for the kill.

I agree, the logic should be that the team allied with the force + team allied with the killer sees it.

customization == freedom

At the least, include the information of the entity which caused the players death in the on_player_died event. called it "opposingEntity" or something. Then it could be scripted to announce who the player was killed by to the rest of the forces, if someone wanted to custom script it that way.

now you're asking too much.

Did the 0.14.7 downloads get removed? All I see in experimental now is 0.14.6.

Same issue as @MrGoodbits. It appears as though the download was removed.

EDIT: Haha, right as I post that, it's back.

My game crashes every ~5 mins for no apparent reason. I get a pop up saying to post about the crash, but the game gives me no info on it and I have no mods installed. I'm not sure what the problem is, but I'm hoping the game will be stable soon and my save game isn't corrupt

Post your %appdata%\Factorio\factorio-current.log in the tech support forum.

If the game told you to post on the forum, you should submit a bug report here : viewforum.php?f=7

More information on how to do a bug report post see viewtopic.php?f=7&t=3638

Crash can corrupt a savegame if it happen at the same time as the save occur. To be on the safe side you can backup your save by copy and pasting the save folder in "%appdata%/factorio/" (paste the previous text in an explorer window)
