Anybody have any info towards when 0.17 experimental will drop?

I want to start a new game (haven't played through since .15, but I don't want to start until .17 so things don't get stale!). I tried to search the forums for hints, but for some reason it can't properly match "0.17", "*.17", etc., so I'm sure this has been asked before! :)

I'd say not even the devs :)

Not even a ballpark?! Secrecy only does favors for so long!

My guess is not before December. But it could easily be March of next year or later. So if you want to play, I'd start a 0.16 game rather than waiting. (If you want to keep things fresh consider playing Bobs + Angels or Seablock (which includes Bobs and Angels) or some other mod set.

If you can manage to get perfect knowledge of the quantic state of the whole universe at a given time, with enough computation power, you'll be able to compute, and get back to past conditions that led to the current present backwards on the arrow of time, and the future on the forward direction of time. As soon as you're there, please let us know what the 0.17 release date will be : both the community and the devs will be very interested I'm sure :mrgreen:

Oh I'm sure.
Let's just hope that no black holes are part of the equation.

My guess is definitely before February, unless something really unexpected happens.

Yeah my last playthrough was with Bob's. Haven't seen Seablock yet, will have to check that out.

I *thought* we were really far down the checklist for 0.17 goals (at the rate stuff getting checked off), and we'd see 0.17 drop much sooner (IE: in a month or three). Darn :p

Specifically, "perfect knowledge" and "quantic state" are not compatible. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncertainty_principle

I'm no quantic physics specialist, but I was under the impression that this was true in the boring old Copehnagen interpretation of the quantum theory (the one everyone who deosn't know much about quantum theory has heard about), whereas the de Broglie and Bohm's pilot wave theory was compatible with a deterministic understanding of the quantum theory (thus allowing the forward and backward time unraveling, at least in theory).

However all this is highly off topic. One has no idea of when 0.17 will be anounced, let alone released, so be patient, and wait.

For an update that maybe fixes all issues with the game's current state.

Sure. I'm patient.

Keep in mind that several band-aid approaches have come out on how to deal with those issues (avoid cliffs, avoid too much water, keep frequency way down, use circuits and creative designs to address some needs, mods, etc).

It might be nice to see the issues fixed, but by making wise choices we can endure until 0.17 comes out without too much pain.

I love how you manage to talk about a great game like it was some failed studen project that crashes every 5 minutes.
Also i need moar time to make mods before 0.17 hits :p.

Hi,

First of all, thank you for your hard work :).

Do you think that is possible to see an update of this thread? Could be nice to see where exactly you are comparing with your goals. I know that the Friday facts are more or less what I'm asking for, but to keep the Roadmap Todo list updated(done, in process, next release, etc) could be a nice gift for those who are enjoying the game and that are waiting for the 0.17 version.

Maybe, I'm asking too much, but it worth the try.

Have a good day and continue with your awesome job.

You could try to create a new topic somewhere for this. It will sink under the replies here.
