Version 0.16.25

Post by FactorioBot »

Changes
  • Inserters and belt sideloading can now squash item on belt even when the gap isn't big enough. The squashed gap is extended to normal size once the front of the belt starts to move again. This means, that inserter rows and side loading can produce fully compressed belts without the usage of splitters.
Minor Features
  • Improved behavior of mode switches in deconstruction planner. (57871)
Bugfixes
  • Fixed crash when train was leaving station that was disabled by circuit network or destroyed. (57869)
  • Fixed search box losing focus inconveniently in mods gui. (57821)
  • Fixed client crash when server exits while player has the save game dialog open. (57701)
  • Removing components of a blueprint no longer resizes the window. (56412)
  • Fixed performance issue when running out of storage while big deconstruction is in progress.
  • Fixed scrollbar buttons that would ignore mouse up event. (57899)
  • Fixed that after changing some control settings, the quickbar wouldn't react to them until the game was reloaded. (57974)
Scripting
  • Added LuaControl::is_player()
Use the automatic updater if you can (check experimental updates in other settings) or download full installation at http://www.factorio.com/download/experimental.

Finally, now that we have compression once again, we can relieve our tension! :P

This will render some of my carefully designed solutions obsolete but COMPRESSION!!!

I am glad that you decided to keep crash log sending enabled by default.

And I had just completed my new smelter designs :)

Thanks for the change, sounds like something we will never (have to) think about again!

Same for me, it's hours of brainfucking to optimize design for full compression which are now useless but I'm glad to hear that :D

Does this mean an inserter dropping onto an underground belt entrance will also compress, as it used to?

Great! I'm happy with this choice, which removes a problem that was not really interesting to think about.

Thanks for another wonderful update :)

This makes me sad, but I still love this game. As a game that derives its pleasure from actively engaging creative problem solving, I hope there aren't too many things we stop thinking about before 1.0. Now all that's left keeping me from 0.16 is the belt segment decompression bug! I can almost smell my new megabase!

Bravo!!!!!

I think the game is complex enough (specially for new players) to be forced to do huge worarounds that revolves around glitches or bugs, or unintuitive use of other elements (like splitters) in order to compress a belt.

I think is a step in the right direction.

Eeeeeeee I was just planning in my current base how to move everything around to put extra room between furnace columns to have each column produce two 1/2 compression belts but I clearly don't need to anymore =D

Does this mean that belt compression has even been boosted!? So we'll no longer need undergrounds for extra compression in smelter arrays.

It looks like compression now always works properly, so ugly underground belt tricks are no longer necessary.

Thank you very much for this release. Now it is fun again to play with belts!

I guess the main bug report thread about belt compression can now be moved from the "assigned" sub-forum to the "resolved" sub-forum.

EDIT: Meanwhile, the main bug report thread has been moved to resolved.
