Post by FactorioBot »

  • Bugfixes
    • Fixed quickbar selection handling when accepting blueprint with item in cursor. (viewtopic.php?t=20564)
    • Train stations in the new hope level 2 had neutral force, so they weren't selectable as part of the schedule. (viewtopic.php?t=20521)
    • Fixed that wall graphics variations were not randomized when built by robots. (viewtopic.php?t=20364)
    • Fixed that rail signals were not visible under remnants. They are drawn above now. (viewtopic.php?t=20370)
    • Fixed that the multiplayer menu would allow one to resume the game as the game was already being disconnected, which would inevitably lead to a crash (viewtopic.php?t=20382).

    • Fixed that replaying multiplayer game ended once any player died. (viewtopic.php?t=20664)
    • Fixed the ungraceful error message when version/mods don't match in multiplayer. (viewtopic.php?t=20427)
    • Fixed game not restarting when mods were changed (viewtopic.php?t=20565).
    • Fixed headless server not working with the Steam version (viewtopic.php?t=20510).
    • Fixed that destroying a chain signal in the same tick as it was created crashed the game (viewtopic.php?t=20421).
    • Fixed fullscreen issues on multimonitor configurations (viewtopic.php?t=20635).
    • Fixed crash when canceling crafting of a recipe who's ingredients have changed in the meantime (viewtopic.php?t=20706).
    • Fixed update of stand-alone ZIP package should not require elevated rights on Windows (viewtopic.php?t=20760).
    • Fixed specific crash in replay viewing. (viewtopic.php?t=20703)
    • Fixed game ignoring local changes in config when using Steam Cloud.
    • Fixed double key in smart inserter definition, causing it to be slower than fast inserter. (viewtopic.php?t=20804)

I didn't notice that smart inserters are slower than fast inserters. Had to be a small change. ^^

Nice, a new version with bug fixes. :D

Factorio will not start for me now. I had no this kind of issue ever before including previous steam version.

If I may suggest, there should be some kind of a "news" entry in Steam with changelog every time a new version - even minor - is released (especially when there are so many bugfixes).
Customers can be forgiving on small defects during Alpha, especially if the Dev team shown great sense of responsivity fixing them.

I demand it be a thing. You really are going cause more hardship for mods getting spammed with what is new etc and it's only fair on the users too :P

Yep, that's nearly a must.

Not that small, i think it was somewhere around the 5% :D

log says 0.12.24, looks like something went wrong with the update. The last 2 lines also suggest you had Factorio running for 4,5hours without loading a map.

Why the game has so many bugs from version to version? :)

The bugs might have been there before, the problem is to find and reduce them :geek:

Yes, almost all of these were there from the very start, they just weren't discovered yet.

1) Updated factorio
2) Created a new map
3) Created .bat file like the wiki says

cmdwindow opened correctly! :D

4) Launch factorio in steam "Process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process"

Is this me doing it wrong? If so then the wiki needs updating.

What does wiki say about commandline and why? What is your goal?

I notice that launching/loading Factorio takes slightly more time than before, especially slowing around 50% while loading sprites. Is it normal, just after a small bugs corrections ? Not very convenient for mod writing/testings. :-)

Anyway, thanks for the bug corrections. Now "restart after mod change" is working.

I think the goal here is to first launch a server using the --start-server command (successful) and then use the same executable to launch the client on the same machine (failed). Problem is they are using the same log file (or other shared file) which gives that error.

Solution is to use the -c [ --config ] switch on the server to give it a different config file with a different application directory. But most of the players don't know how to do that since I've seen this issue 3 times already today and it's not documented properly anywhere.
Pre-steam I'd have given the advice to use the zip-version for the server, but this is not possible with the steam version as they don't have access to it.

EDIT: posila explains it here: viewtopic.php?f=53&t=20811#p130869

Today I could not use smart inserter to move train from factory to chest, but I could do this with fast inserter. It is not about changing filter, I can do this. I guess bug fixes fixed it.

Yeah I'm trying to run a server. Using only the steam version, I can't get it to work even using the information given by posila. I downloaded the .zip from factorio website and it works fine now. This obviously needs looking into because a lot of people with only steam version won't be able to run a dedicated server, not that dedicated servers are necessary as the multiplayer option in the game works fine but they are nice to have. e.g. Terraria's dedicated server allows the use of admin commands.

Here's an interesting one. I have a save I'm making into a sandbox to experiment with designs so it's set with peaceful mode on. If I take a tank I can completely destroy a nest and all the biters/worms without any of them fighting back simply by running over them. If I fire a single shot, everything attacks as usual but if I never shoot and have no turrets or defense slotted in the armour I can slaughter everything with impunity.

Now sure, peaceful means never attack first but I think this is a bug. The game should recognise me doing damage with the vehicle as an attack (which it is) and respond appropriately.

Well, looks like the biters don't think driving is an aggressive act, but that should be in the bug forum.

Thats since always. I thought it was intentional :D Well, i even thought peaceful means till i attack the first alien and then all turn hostile, not only that group :)
