• It is not possible to fast-replace pipe to ground by another that is in an orthogonal direction.

[*]Right panel sizing fixes.

Thank you SO DAMN MUCH.

Woo! nice suprise after a hard days work

Does anyone noticed the game freezing when you hover the mouse over a recipe or technology that unlocks many recipes or uses many ingredients?

Woo! Great progress. Any informations when the updater is gone be fixed? And iam curious how many of these fixes are contributed due exp release?

Update:

Factorio Download Server under stress... ?

Attempt to fix tile transition rendering on Sandy Bridge iGPUs.

0.17.6 improves tile transitions, but still an issue. Now distortion is square blocks.

Pictures posted here shows distortion before 0.17.6 and after: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=66196&p=407763

Thanks for all the quick fixes, everything else has been working great!

Auto-updater server is disabled but Steam has it's own update servers.
Steam can download the patch/diff. All others must download the full game again.

Sweet, i was just finishing up my initial .17 playthrough, ready to get into a more serious go at it after getting used to new ui and recipes, just in time to see the map gen get some tweaks!

not really complaining, but I always seem to be rather annoyed by map gen at the beginning of every major version. then the patches start coming in and my annoyance goes away...

Tested, and pre 17.xx files now load up as expected.

Wow you rock Factorio team !!

*ugh* Well, my 0.16 save was converted successfully, but my mining went from level 177 for 354% to level 5 for 50%...
