Is .14 more buggy than .13?

Post by Rinin »

According to news every new .14 patch solves a lot of old bugs, even from .13 version. So is vanila .13 actually more stable than "experemental" .14? Because in .13 I faces problems with trains every 2-5 hours, and this bugs seems solved for .14. But because .14 called experimental I was assuming that it has more bugs.

So what version is more stable right now?

I have only ever encountered a single crash in Factorio, and i was while I was playing with signals in sandbox mode. Thinking back on it, I was trying to reproduce a crash at the time where you did something like linked a train signal to a power pole, then removed the signal and used a robot to remove the pole. Pretty obscure.

Most of the bugs are to do with multiplayer because that was the big feature of 0.14, however 0.14 has much better multiplayer regardless so yeah I'd recommend upgrading.

0.13 is officially considered stable but 0.14 is stable enough to have several playthroughs with only very edge case downsides.
I recommend updating to 0.14 because it has so many "nice" features. It also runs a lot faster for me.

You can always make a backup of your save and reinstall 0.13 if you don't like 0.14 so there's no loss in trying it out.
