    • Fixed cutting off last character of single word console commands.
    • Fixed the 32bit versus 64bit desync issue related to damage (and health manipulation).

    • Fixed that the car wasn't always pushed by transport belts.
    • Fixed that the scorchmark was created water.

It might be related to the position migration, does it work when you get the blocked items, or does it get stucked again eventually?

Autosaves seem to work, I managed to save manually after that one time, too, but saving after that caused a crash again.

It seems you are launching Factorio directly from the dmg file you downloaded. While this works, the application has just read-only access to its files and it cannot do some thigs (like updating itself).

To fix this you can either drag the Factorio app to the applications folder (shortcut to it is inside the dmg file next to the app), or manually download factorio from the web again.
The first version is recommended, because it is faster to download and checks the updates automatically on each start.

That is great to hear that the auto saving has been optimized. :D though I am a bit worried about the crashes with manual saving. :o

It's not the zig-zag. It appears on straight belts also (see screenshot in the bug report).

I think I have a similar issues with belts:

It works if I straighten it out, then stops working again when I reverse the change.

Example of fix:

I can add a savegame later if it would help.

Please don't post pictures of bugs which are only reconizable in a moving manner. All this pictures of your belts are useless, because you can't see any mistake.

this. Same here. also with dytech and treefarm. Otherwise it seems stable. We've continued our 11.6 game since the update was live.

I just upgraded to 0.11.7 and have been experiencing crashes due to floating point exceptions. It happened when I selected drones ( logistic or construction ) from my inventory.
Loading an autosave, I can select drones but It still crashes after a few minutes. ( I use linux x64)

I guess it's a nice occasion to start over (this factory was messy anyways :) ), but I thought I should let you know.
