Use the automatic updater if you can (check experimental updates in other settings) or download full installation at http://www.factorio.com/download/experimental.

On upgrade, I got the notification that research for radar had been removed. Not a problem, just curious what that was about, as I didn't see it in the list of changes.

It was just some technology used in the now removed NPE.
I did a bit of clean up of these things as I was working on the new campaign maps

Changes

• Added a search bar to the mod settings GUI.

It would be very useful/more user friendly if you weren't limited to searching for the individual setting name alone, and could also search for the mod name as well.

Mod names tend to come to mind very easily, but the specific setting name I'm looking for... not so much.

Of course I'm the type that also wants to search through keybindings by the "bound" key itself... "What bindings are currently bound to 'g'? Better start scrolling..."

When I first loaded .25, I did notice radar message as mitigated content, after that I did briefly lost radar coverage for a few ticks. I wrote this off as nothing more then a one time migration issue transitioning a map from pre .25 to post .25 Factorio. Nothing to really get excited about.

After 0.18.25 I noticed a performace boost on my vanilla savegame.

Until 0.18.24 my fps were 35 to 60 randomly walking in the map according to the zoom and the objects present on the terrain.

Now with 0.18.25 I have a solid 57 / 60 fps all time. Same save, same pc.

Asus CN65 with ChromeOS running Debian Buster under Crostini project
CPU Intel i3-8130U
GPU Intel HD Graphics 620
8 gb ram

Just for curiosity, which are the possible causes of this boost?

Thanks.
