Factorio Forums

Hello,

Factorio 0.10.7 has just been released


EDIT: This is probably the shortest-lived release we had. There was a serious bug (https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... =30&t=5383) when saving on windows didn't work (and many people wanted to do that). So we have released the hotfix version: https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... f=3&t=5386.

• Bugfixes:
  • Fixed bug with non-primary mouse not working on OSX (https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... =49&t=5063).
  • Fixed OSX crash due to non-existent write data directory (https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... =30&t=5284).
  • Fixed crash when electric pole with open electricity gui is deconstructed (https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... f=7&t=5310).
  • Fixed crash when assembling machine item tooltip was active while it was removed (https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... f=7&t=5196).
  • Fixed crash when starting the game with dutch translation active.
  • Fixed various replay desynchronizations related to research.
  • Fixed bug in allocation of construction robots when rebuilding objects (https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... f=7&t=5117).
  • Fixed bug when removing toolbar filter didn't remove the picture (https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... f=7&t=5224).
  • Fixed that the car was displayed multiple times on the map (https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... f=7&t=5271).
  • Fixed other transport belt ending drawing logic issues (https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... 018#p39981).
  • Fixed small bugs with rails (and) ghosts (https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... f=7&t=5188).
  • Old save file is not overwritten when saving fails (https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... f=7&t=5354).
  • Fast replacing assembling machine keeps the direction of the original assembling machine. This is beacuse the common scenario here is to upgrade
    the assembling machine, rather than use it to change direction of existing machines (https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... f=7&t=5239).
  • Allowed to check placebility of item on ground from script as long as the item is specified (https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... =30&t=5238).
  • Fixed that the video memory was refresh needlessly when the window was just activated.
  • Fixed the error reporting with fault definition. It now shows mods involved in the error correctly.
  • Fixed wrong radar consumption (309kW instead of 300kW) (https://forums.factorio.com/forum/pos ... f=7&t=5226).
  • Fixed crash when a cargo wagon is placed in the map editor (https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... f=7&t=5308).
• Changes:
  • Mod zip package and folder should follow the pattern <Mod name>_<Mod version> (https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... =14&t=5364)
  • Slightly smaller bounding box for the steam engine (https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... f=7&t=5338).
  • Roboport gui says "repair packs" not "material" (https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... f=7&t=5351).
• Balancing:
  • Roboport is no longer categorised as military structure.
    Therefore biters don't target it primary, only when it is in their "area of rage", same as with other factory buildings.
• Translation:
  • Added Japanese translation and updated some of the other translations.

Use the automatic updater if you can (check experimental updates in other settings) or download full installation at http://www.factorio.com/download/experimental.

..yaaaaaaaaaaaaay.

Be carefull, I'm having a bug that breaks savegaming and also deletes files on overwriting savegames.

I have already reported, I hope they hotfix it before the weekend.

Well, if you go to the path indicated ([user]\appdata\roaming\factorio\temp\currently-saving.zip), copy this file to the main save location and rename it, you get a working save.
Be careful if you try to save over a save too, as the original file will disappear.

Ooh, and please don't wait a week to fix this
(Or if you do, let us know, I guess I'd have to downgrade)

Sorry for the inconvenience to the windows users. We will try to make a hotfix really soon.

What % of Factorio games are on the different platforms:

Windows %
Linux %
Mac %

I'd think Windows would be by far the biggest, but now I'm wondering...

Thanks! I want to play this weekend, pretty please with cream on top? :p

getting the error when updating from 0.10.6 to 0.10.7.
Must admit i have the NL file from version 0.10.2 installed.
File |D:/Program Files (x86)\Factorio_Experimental\data/base/locale/nl/item-names.cfg has unexpected content
but i shall download the 0.10.8 version of the website. and hopefully that works now when launching the game!


edit: the game will launch, dutch language file bug is solved, goodjob. also goodjob on the new save patch. some game developers can learn something from you guys.

R.I.P. 0.10.7

It would be hard to know this definitively. They could count how many auto-update on each platform, but that is unreliable as it requires players to check the option for experimental releases. Another option could be to track total downloads, but then people like me who play on multiple systems would be counted multiple times.
