Yes I did also wall as part of the change.

It doesn't sound like a good idea to me.

Ok, what about making blueprints (empty) stackable?

Together with that "loading crane" train-thingy I somehow get an interesting feeling/idea about what is to come. And if my theory is going to turn out to be correct they did a well job on keeping it a secret.

They do, occasionally. As long as you prevent basebuilding inside your cloud it should not matter too much.

It doesn't sound like a good idea to me.
Then what is the point in having to craft a deconstruction planner? Can't it just be something you get for free once you've reached logistics? By making it a button/keypress "mode" you can enter.

Yeah... It's depicted like a piece of red paper but it really is just a remote control.

Come on guys, throw us a bone!?
I don't think my heart can take the strain any longer
Waiting with immense amounts of anticipation for those lovely words "Factorio - Update Queued" only to be turned into "Factorio - Downloading", only to be turned into GAME TIME!
Can't wait!

what really bugs me is that last gif from Factorio development explained in gifs. What sort of magic trick are they reacting to?

@Malecord
Too true. I'm so excited for this release (TRAINS!) that I almost can't contain myself (TRAINS!). Plus I have a huge TRAINS fixation haha
I have four days off this weekend, was hoping I'd be accompanied by Factorio, but pointless starting another map until the update drops.
P.S. TRAINS!

While waiting for the coming Friday.... did anyone notice the shadow angle of the wall (or gate?) is different from the other objects? Most of the shadow is point to east, but the wall's is 45degree rotated. (Yes, I am bored. Friday please come early!)

Maybe it will be a part of the blueprint book?
