Exactly so must look a Train who is running through Enemy territory (or a Snow landscape)!!!

In fact, Factorio trains are running through conquered territory, not enemy's.

However, I completely agree new trains graphics looks quite fragile - have written this earlier as well.

Would also nice to have turret wagons - Death-on-da-Wheels! :D

Not just that, but also tanker wagons for fluids and flatbeds for loading fitted vehicles onto.

Fluid wagon is announced, but flatbed platform is also useful idea.

Also would like to see train semi-automatic riding - i.e., set station to go, without placing it in schedule.

This could actually be as simple as allowing "Go To Selected Station" to accept inputs from the station list.

A long long time ago (in the game's history), Back in what, 0.9, 0.10? They basically announced the oil tanker wagon, along with other fluid related changes like being able to use them as a fuel, for 0.13. So in theory, we should be getting them with the next update!

However, I think this has been pushed back to 0.14/0.15 now.

In FFF #131 they stated that the fluid wagon was postponed :

No word on fluid as fuel but I don't expect it.
Want more space restriction ? Or maybe you want to be forced to use train for other thing than ore and oil ? Try Building Platform Mod !

I remember commenting on that at the time. How it wasn't supposed to just be a wagon, but a whole fluid system overhaul, making them able to act like a lot of specialised items (Ammos, Fuels etc)

I just want to say that I can't wait for the Friday Fact today... Any possible information about 0.13 is urgently needed!
Greetings, Nova.
Factorio is one of the greatest games I ever played, with one of the best developers I ever heard of.

I hope that FF #142 will be one-liner:

0.13 is out, ejoy. See you next week.

When the 1st will come: "it is only psychological date" :mrgreen: :trf:

To be honest, I don't mind if they say... "0.13 will be released in 4 weeks." or "0.13 is out!", it's the not knowing that is killing me, and the sore gums around my root canal, and my right eye that just won't focus, and my left finger...

Yes ... the unknown is the point. Not the time to wait.
So dont let us advise when it come ... just say it ... and when you say "We need some more week" it will be OK.
Or some User will die on heart attacks.

But i hope it come today!
I hope! I hope! I hope! I hope! I hope! I hope! I hope! I hope!

I'm free of that thoughts because I really enjoy actual version. If v0.13 will be released today then it would be great but if not then I can still play v0.12.

Personally, I'm waiting since 2 weeks for launching a new game, because I don't won't to break my game with the new release. So a estimation would be really great, because it's it should be in weeks from new, I can start a last 0.12 game.

Information is always good !
