  • All infinite technologies have Space science pack as a pre-requisite.

What does this mean:

Something happened with the rendering?

Code: Select all

Value must be a list or dictionary in property tree at ROOT.update.
Guess something's screwed on the update server??

I strongly agree. I created a new map and realized afterwards the setting for the queue was reset to "after ...". I actually wanted to try this feature out :-( While its only half an our in, i still don't want to grind the beginning AGAIN for the 1033426th time in my life :-D

it means that the updater doesn't work - you have to download the whole game anew for the moment to get 0.17.2

Is this a bug?

Whenever I try to move the furncaces it makes a copy to that slot. Maybe related to this?
Only compatible results of a furnace are manually placeable in the result slot. (Mainly to avoid confusion of new players)

Not linked. What this says is "you can not insert into a furnace's output something that can not be made into the furnace".

The behaviour you describe is not a bug, works as intended. If you want to clear a quickbar slot, empty it with mousewheel click (by default).

The quickbar at the bottom is no inventory anymore, but just a list of "links" to items in your main inventory. "Moving" the furnaces in there just creates more links to your inventory.

Just want to say that whatever you did here fixed a big performance issue on the Mac version. 17.1 was running really sluggishly and 17.2 fixed it. Just thought I'd mention it as there's nothing in the changenotes that related to that issue, so it was probably a second-order effect of something.
