Ah, FactorioBot is back. Nice!

I'm not saying that posila was doing a bad job posting release changelogs, but I still prefer FactorioBot.

Just curious, what was the reason to publish 16.30 so quickly, none of these bugs seem critical (annoying maybe, but not critical). I am not saying it's wrong we all love bugfixes and features as well as admire your work. I am usually curious about the "Why" of things.

I think this one : 58633 introduced in previous version is quite penible to play with...

Rseding: Bob, do you do X in your mod?
Me: Yes, why?
Rseding: I'm getting a lot of crash logs with your mods listed.

It's not that I was doing anything wrong, but, was a big issue for anyone using my mods, which, lets face it, is most people who play with mods.


But I'd say the main reason why this was pushed so fast is because of the graphics issue.

The graphical issue was pretty bad. Seeing how just small percentage of people report issues and bug report forum started to be flooded by this particular issue, we wanted to push the fix out asap.
Also removal of "pushable" flag caused errors for lot of mods, so made the flag not to cause an error (it's not mentioned in the changelog as its removal wasn't mentioned either). And we got huge spike of crashes caused by reset technology effects, so I am happy we were able to fix it quickly too.

Also, 0.16 hasn't been released yet, so it's quite normal that fixes are deployed frequently. We are some kind of test factory

Hmm, then 16.30 crash while updating. Now I've to reinstall all the game :/

Dunno what in this update did it, but really improved FPS at high zoom out levels.

Thanks everyone, and yeah the CG bug seems to be very bad, did not see that and I do keep up with releases and bug reports (upgraded to 0.16 as soon as it was out and never missed a minor version. Sometimes I wasn't able to install it after DL as new one was out already but yeah.. the devs here are amazing, and know the codebase well.

BTW. since you have lately run out of topics is it possible to explain better how factorio works behind the scenes? It may have been talked about in some old FFF, but I am quite amazed and curious (Again) how all that data is processed behind the GUI (belts, measurements, splitters, fluids etc.) it's a lot of data every frame. Hardware is fast but where are the limits? How far can you push Factorio?
