  • Rail signals connect to more than one rail when connected to junction.
  • Fixed memory leaks related to train path searching.
  • Fix of building station desynchronising the replay.
  • Don't show the contents of the cursor when map is stopped.
  • Fixed bug in connecting rolling stocks across crossroads.
  • Fixed crash when removing rails in rail crossings.
  • Fixed crash when not selecting research while the inserter had already his science pack on the way to the lab.
  • Stop train when riding manually and switching to automatic mode.
  • Fixed bug of crash (and other problems) when riding rolling stock after it was rotated.
  • Fixed a bug of crash after removing train stop on circular rail.
  • Cannot rotate train stop and rail signal after built.
  • Fix of crash when splitter with connected transport belts was rotated.
  • Fixed bug in setting up the train while reversing
• Changes:

I had last tried version 0.2.10, nice progress since!

I installed factorio_alpha_0.4.1-1_all.deb, a few bugs I think:

• The internal debian package version number says 0.3.2 even though the game is 0.4.1
• The package contains the scenario pack (e.g. /usr/share/factorio/scenario-pack/campaigns/tight-spot). Isn't that supposed to be separate? That also means that when trying to install the latest pack in ~/.factorio I get: "Duplicate mod scenario-pack."
• When starting a tight-spot level, the speed starts at 32. That means the first steps happen very fast. I personally would prefer speed 1 by default, and I can crank it up when I saw how things start up.

I can confirm number 2 for the linux tar build as well. I don't know if backers with access to the scenario pack just get different packages.

Number 3 is also somewhat annoying to me. It's difficult to try and optimize the startup of the factory (especially coal distribution).

Thanks for the report, the first and second problem will be fixed in next release.

I also noticed the files, but they didn't seem to do anything, so I assumed that part of the pack is shipped to everyone and part to those that should be able to run it.
(I even actively tried to peek in the pack, but failed)

Yup, for some reason the mod in /usr/share/factorio is registered, but does not show up.
I had to move it to ~/.factorio.

I noticed something strange - Main menu -> Play -> Custom scenario -> Why is the "play" button called "Create"??
I was not sure whether that wouldn't overwrite the file.
