2 Hours into my first run through and only thing thats stood out as annoying is a "random" hang that occurs every now and then that i haven't figure out how to re-produce on demand yet. I may have over done it on the cliffs tho hahahaaha working my way to the explosives

Took me a while to search and identify that this was mentioned in FFF #206.

It's annoying, but if that's the only error I encounter, I'll be happy.

Edit: I take it back, Autoplace controls complained to me about category tag not set.... still an easy fix.
Good news! I hope Angel also does not have problems =)

The 0.16 auto-update crashes on the Mac under High Sierra. Installing the DMG from the Factorio page works

Thanks for the update! All those optimisations! So many new shinies :D

A question though...
Added /delete-blueprint-library *player* command to remove blueprints of players from the game.
Someone could delete all by blueprints? Why is this needed? What's it for?

Creating blueprints and using deconstruction planner in zoom-to-world map mode now skip entities covered by fog of war. (51247)
But I used this to mark trees to be cleared that are in fog of war. :( It will make building rail through forests more difficult.
Tanks no longer take miniscule amounts of damage from hitting trees.
Yay!

I don't see fff-211 on the feature list. Is it implemented?

It is implemented.
Blueprint previews and ghost entities now have their walls, pipes and belts connected.

Added support for setting a LuaGuiElement as the opened GUI for a player causing it to close with the normal close-GUI methods.
Thank you thank you thank you! How exactly does this work from the modder perspective? I don't see anything obvious in the API.
Added on_mod_item_opened event.
Added LuaItemPrototype::can_be_mod_opened read.
Added LuaGuiElement::focus().
These will help clean up the code of mod GUIs so much!
Added LuaEntity::get_train_stop_trains().
I read this as "Get train, Stop trains." Consider get_trains_with_stop()?

I believe when you connect to a server your blueprint library is uploaded to the server so that other players can browse your blueprints, and this sticks around even after you disconnect - even if you're banned from the server, or similar. So, someone might want to remove a particular player's blueprints from the game if that player isn't coming back for whatever reason.

Just noticed... not in release notes... (unless I'm really blind and this was already in the game.)

We now have shadows of clouds moving across the ground. COOL 8-)

Have they changed the way assembler machines keep stacks of resources? I could swear in .15.x and previously, an assembler machine would keep two products in reserve if its output were backed up (say its inserter was turned off), but now I'm looking at an iron gear wheel assembler in my new map that has 81 gears in it. This isn't terrible for gears here, but it is kind of tricky when it comes to how I used to deal with production of limited / expensive things - like turn off the output inserter if some value is high, or just insert into a chest that only has one slot unlocked. Now, this would just let the whole assembler back up quite a bit further. Not the end of the world, but a little troubling.

I mean the second part:
mod compatibility
The blueprint won't lose its structures, it'll keep its integrity even if we don't load the mods on a game and load the saved game with the mods again later.

Factorio Change Log wrote: Changed the terrain building size limit to be based off the player reach.
What does this mean?
[EDIT: Did a little Googling. Maybe when placing Concrete or Landfill, your not limited to just a 10x10 area. IF your using a long reach mod, you change a larger area (ex. 15x15 or 20x20) based on how much your player reach has been expanded.]

I don't use Steam. I download the game from the Factorio Website... Am I going to have problems with this? (Not getting achievements?)

No, when not using steam, achievements are stored locally in files as before.
