Closed because a sudden wave of realisation hit me: "The experimentals have been so stable and so much chosen that it has been as if they whore actual release updates" =/
Hi, recently there have been a few mod breaking updates. Due to so it would be very helpful if mod developers could receive updates to Factorio earlier so we can update our mods (and we'll abandoned too) so that when a mod breaking update arrives. Players can play the modded games as soon as possible.
This should be possible with steam's betas that require a code.

We can't really supply any builds early, either to mod developers or youtubers, and really strictly speaking 0.13.0
is the advanced build

Ok, i guess it will be a stressful time when 0.13 releases, but I understand.

I think there might be some confusion about this. The last few 12.3x releases were (at least on steam) beta/experimental releases that you had to opt into. So while technically anyone could get it, it wasn't the autoinstalled versions and that gives modders some time to test.
From what it sounds like 0.13.0 will be the same.

AH yea, you are probably right. Due to how stable the experimentals have been i have been treating them as actual updates. So yea case closed
