Pump can connect to fluid tank that is slightly rotated, but only to tanks that are standing on straight rails.

I take this to mean that it can connect to fluid wagons that are slightly rotated, as long as the pump in question is pointed at a straight rail segment, is this correct?

Heh. Gotta read the linked thread to know which it actually is! (Spoiler: It's )

Does this mean that admins could grief players by deleting all their blueprints in their library or does that simply mean the copy in multiplayer server library is deleted? Because this could lead to tears.

I'm assuming it means only the server library.

EDIT: Yes, I just checked, it's only the server library. I can't access any of my players' blueprint libraries, only those they've put into the shared server section. (Unless I'm missing a button somewhere)

Correct

Was this the issue mentioned (but not described) in the latest FF causing high network traffic?

It was described as such a bit further down, a bit hidden behind all the text in between.

When changing the name of a station, selecting an existing station no longer fills in that name.

Bug or intentional?

Tnx for the update.

It's a bug, fixed in the next release.

Thanks for the update

Does the map generator works fine for everyone ?. seems whatever presets i select the settings remaining the same (resource , advanced settings) , and also the presets doesn't show the description instead its showing Normal settings for all the presets,
Can anyone clarify it to me whether its a bug ?

I've noticed that when several blueprint books are in my inventory, 2 of them shift rapidly back and forth.

It's very annoying when my personal robohangar is loading and I walk sooooooo slow !

Does anybody know how to use the mod name/desc localization? How can I localize it?

Player's blueprint libraries are stored on their own machines, not on the server. If playing factorio on a multiplayer means that the server process can hack into files on my PC and change them, I'd be seriously worried.
