[Grooohm]

Is it just for me, or are the "Has Mods" and "Has Password" filter options not working?

[Mooncat]

Added LuaSurface.set_chunk_generated_status().
Added defines.chunk_generated_status.

(Open http://lua-api.factorio.com/ to see whats that)
(Not updated yet)
(Sad)

A bit surprised that it is still experimental build.

A friend and myself get "Could not obtain External IP Address" error when hosting a multiplayer game.
We are on completely different machines and networks, one private ISP and one university network.

This update appears to have some network issues.

EDIT:

Some stuff I pulled from the log...

You forgot to mention a change: many fields are no longer reported for each game in `/get-games`. It might be understandable for short-term bandwidth improvements, but it makes no sense in the long run.

- It would require me (or anyone else that hosts a server browser) to query each game id individually in order to find out on which continent the server is, whether it is password protected, whether it requires user verification, etc. Removing the data makes the list much less useful so you bring lots of extra load upon the API servers by requiring us to query each game id individually.

- If you want to improve your in-game server browser by sorting by ping time (many games do this and sort by ping as default, for obvious reasons) you'll have to include the data again. If you want to improve the list by showing icons with each server, you'll have to include the data again. So until you reverse the change, little improvement of the in-game browser will be possible.

So either you don't intend to improve the in-game browser any time soon, or perhaps you mean to break third party server browsers for some reason you have not communicated to us, but I don't see a logical reason for the change.

Or maybe it's just a private API that happens to be open to the public.

• Achievements unlocked locally without using steam get unlocked on steam once the game is started in steam mode.

Does this basically mean that you can get achievements on steam now even if you are playing a modded game?

Pretty sure it just means that if you get an achievement without having a connection to steam you will still get the achievement (on steam) next time you connect to it.

Is there ANY chance that the tanks output the temperature as well? Struggeling with this since weeks...

Yes I made a copy of my server instance and updated to 0.14.15 and my friend was able to join.
Make sure your server is set as DMZ in your router if you are self-hosting.

Factorio first looks for the runtime --bind command to get it's IP address. If none is provided it defaults to 0.0.0.0 which just means it will accept connections on any ip address connected to the machine. This is fine for me since I'm just running an old computer in my basement. If you are on a shared host it's not that simple.

My best guess is that you need to manually specify your server's IP using the --bind option when you run the server.
That's what I would try first.

[MrGoodbits]

Also on Ubuntu 16.04.1 and cannot get 0.14.15 to work headless. I tried through browser and direct to known IP address and port. It is NOT a firewall/DMZ issue. The server cannot determine it's IP and sees 0.0.0.0. Even when I specify --bind.

Also, I concur that the browse for password/mods check boxes don't seem to change search results.

MrGoodbits.... I need to play.

I am also having issues attempting to host due to the update. I actually had thought it was something else, and went through attempting to re-forward ports, and even call my ISP to question whether they had blocked something. I get the same error regarding being unable to establish external IP. One of the members on the Factorio Discord pointed me to the update (which I had not realized had installed).

If there are any specific logs you'd like, just let me know.

I was getting the same thing after the update, we had to revert to fix it. We are Steam players I don't know if that has any meaning though.

Make sure your server is set as DMZ in your router if you are self-hosting.

did they connect via the browser or your IP? forwarding via DMZ is just a bad idea security wise. the matchmaking was working for users with proper port forwarding before the update. sounds like something got broken. there is a problem determining the external IP address. fixed in next version.
if you need to use DMZ for your router and port forwarding doesn't work, it's time to ditch that SOHO router and install something like pfSense® on an old machine with a couple of NIC cards.

can you folks test if you can connect to me via the server browser? '-new Co-Op group with mics (mumble) US east'

Can't connect to you - ping is showing as Can't reach.

Trying to connect brings up this error:
