Working good!

Hopefully the final 0.14 stable.

Hopefully the final 0.14 stable.

Could you explain please, what mean "final" here if there is yet 10 bugs in "Assigned" category? Does it mean that these assigned bugs are not "critical"? If yes, for what reason there is a "Minor issues" category?
And that is not to mention topics in common "Bug reports" category.

I think, it might be final if it will be 0 bugs in "Assigned". Or I'm wrong?

[Zeblote]

He's just hoping they will stop fixing bugs and start working on 0.15

Versions like 0.14.x can be final without having fixed all the bugs from Bug Reports or Assigned. It will be made final when the developers feel that it is as stable as it can be (no critical/major/few minor bugs) without taking too much time to continue working on it instead of 0.15. It's generally easier and less time-consuming to only maintain one branch (0.15) instead of two, therefore at some point there has to be a final version even if not all bugs have been solved. Although, even that line can be blurry as 0.13.19/20 were bugfix releases that came out after 0.14.0 was released. You also have to consider that not all bugs require a bugfix release. Some bugs are server-side (multiplayer server/mod portal issues), other bugs are caused by problems with the player's hard- or software.

1. I like round numbers. 20 is a nice round number.
2. This will be the... 3rd stable of 0.14 now?
3. Although there may still be some bugs, they should be minor bugs by now (Else it wouldn't be considered stable). Squashing all bugs is something that will likely never really happen until version 1.0, or the like, so there has to be a line between fixing bugs, and working on the next big update. Hopefully this is that point.

Additionally, see the 0.14.19 page, I made a prediction comment saying there would be one more bug fix release in about a week, and that would be the final one. That was about a week ago, so my prediction is coming true so far.

Hey, I didn't feel like this is large enough to be put in to another thread, its just quality of life if you could make the server settings persistent, it is sometimes annoying to have to retype all the information every single time you want to play with friends. Very nice game otherwise!

[ChurchOrganist]

If you want your settings to be persistent then you need to set up a headless server.

Hopefully the final 0.14 stable.

is this version stable at all ?

I just started my 0.14.19 standalone and was offered no update by the ingame updater
(my settings were: "YES, look for updates" and "NO, no experimental version").
after setting the option to "YES, also experimental versions", i got offered 0.14.20

thus i would have to assume that 0.14.20 is no stable version ???
and 0.14.19 remains the latest stable version ???
does this mean we'll get a new stable 0.14.21 soon, or did you only forget to set a "stable" flag on 0.14.20 ?

btw: really nice that we are able to use "E" again after setting numbers in the gui

edit1: just checked the official download page, and that page also lists 0.14.19 as stable and 0.14.20 as experimental

edit2: which settings can i use to get the latest 0.14.x version, but NOT any new and possibly (at first) buggy 0.15.x version ?

On the website (at least from my perspective) under the stable download tab 14.19 still resides,

Seems to be quite unstable as it locks up 2-3 times per hour...

[Mooncat]

hm.. another release, with new modding API.

Added LuaPlayer::disable_recipe_subgroups.

What is the usage if recipe groups and subgroups are disabled? I think it will be chaos?

Well i played 2-3 hours yesterday and have not encountered this problem, but something strange happened, ctrl/shift right/left clicking, on fast inventory items moved some of them to main inventory, when suddenly 150 old wooden electric poles i dont use anymore appeared in inventory too. Also some items doubled - Iron/copper plates, Iron wheels from 300 to 600. They just randomly appeared in my inventory, i was in wastelands, off logistic grid, far from resources, completing some far oil outpost. Dont know where is the problem. Also copypaste didn't work properly. I tried to copy factory properites set to build rocket fuel, but when i paste it to another blank factory, it created factory to blue science pack. I remember copypasting blue science pack factories in previous version of game week ago, when i played last time 14.19. and when i was building BSP factories.

Looks like something to log in the bug reports (create separate tickets for the two issues)

Hi!

Since this release ingame i cannot use the Numpad!

Iam left-handed so i dont use the W S A D to move. I use the numpad 8 5 6 4. This works well in the past. But since the 0.14.20 Version the Numpad key are not working any more in the game.
Iam able to adjust them in the options menu but in the game they are not working???

Just to let you guys know for the next release.
