Friday Facts #187 - Space science & 0.15 graphics

[Deadly-Bagel]

It's not even the first time it's been asked on this page

Aaaand just like I expected I've been bumped to a new page xD so by this page I now mean last page.

[Avezo]

Just tell us if 'tuesday' means something like minutes after midnight, or during actual workhours on said day? Not sure if I should go to bed tonight if it's the former.

[Deadly-Bagel]

They probably don't know. They'll probably be running tests right up until they release it and if they find anything moments beforehand and maybe the build takes longer than expected or a thousand other variables it could be delayed for a few hours. They might still be waiting on a graphic or two. They might not even have a time they intend to release it, just whenever everyone gives the green light. Regardless they clearly don't want to commit to a time.

Speaking from my experience performing software releases I'd expect it to be in the morning (Prague time GMT +2) as early as they can make it, they'll want to be on hand for any issues that arise for as long as possible.

Does anyone know, what time 0.15 will be released? Or does anyone know, what time, the earlier versions were released? At 12am? And what timezone?

It comes out when it comes out.

Will 0.15 auto update when bought from the developers website or will there be a dedicated page?

It will tell you that a new update is available and ask you whether you want to update when starting the game if the "Check for updates when launching Factorio" and "Enable experimental updates" options in Options --> Other are enabled.
You can also download the installer/zip-versions for the new update from the website as soon as it is released, check for the "experimental" link on the downloads page.

Steam will not automatically update the game, you'll need to explicitly opt-in on the Betas tab in the game properties.

Tuesday begins at 00:00, so i hope i can play 0.15 when i came form my nightshift in the morning.
If i can't i give factorio a bad steam review

btw why the bad steam review increases? About 20 more in the last 3 month?

Don't want to crush your hopes, but the last updates always went life at working hours, by which I mean czech working hours. If you live in America, you could get lucky. If you live in Australia, you are most certainly out of luck

I'm hoping that heat pipe is just a power source, so both boilers are the same entity type with different stats set, same with the Steam engine and turbine, I hope they're just the same entity with different stats set.

Yes, yes and yes. Heat pipe is power source, boiler and heat exchanger are same entity type. And steam engine and turbine are same entity type.

Does this mean that we can click on the heat pipe to see the heat produced and consumed, just like in the electric network window?

My body is ready for Tuesday

Tuesday night after work... This is when I die.

ALL MODS BROKEN!!!

I agree to use only vanilla for first 2 months also I will wait submissively when other modders update their mods

[McRib]

When it will be released:

Just look the last 3-4 major released it will be around 11 am and 18 pm. So working times. But my guess is evening... so still a lot of time to run in circels.
