Friday Facts #187 - Space science & 0.15 graphics

[redlabel]

Big fan of the game and the new update looks great,
the only thing that is really upsetting me is the GUI reskin, it looks so old now, real retro if you get what I mean.
the rest of the update is super!
looking forward to it!!!

I agree that the sort 3D button effect reminds me of the early internet days... some abstraction and the more minimalist current button look would be better.

Why was the 0.15 pre-release topic on the forums and Reddit removed?

I made a mistake by releasing it early, so I deleted the threads

Sorry for any confusion this may have caused

[Deadly-Bagel]

Ahh I see, fair enough =)

Just looking at that list though, wow, this is going to be like upgrading to 0.13 again thinking "how did I ever play without all these features" xD

The nuclear reactor looks weird. Not bad, but weird. Will be really interesting to check that thing out ingame.

Where is says that we can help playtest on Tuesday, what part of the world are you referring to? I have a public holiday on Tuesday but not the day after/before so I was just curious.

The new graphics are gorgeous and I'm going to test .15 just so I can see all that in motion. Amazing!

[ThorsDragon]

I LOVE WHAT YOU'RE DOING WITH FACTORIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm SOOO excited for the high res, and the science update!!!! So many new things, and they all (pretty much) look gorgeous now. :3 <3 Please keep up the AWESOME work!!!!!!!!!!

[Covertcreeper]

These changes all look amazing

but I feel like I was the only one to notice when corner belts stopped doing that nice thing where items stayed in line.... what happened?

You can transport a tank or a satellite in your pocket.^^ Let it glowing green.^^

"Is that a tank in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?"

I like the updated graphics, but that reactor design looks like an assimilated potato or machine tumor.

[DaemonKing]

Nuckear warheads?! Oh, F*cking yeah. Much easier to deal whit big nest clusters on the map and you able to explore/expand more than before

Yeah we Australians have a public holiday on Tuesday, but I don't think we'll be able to spend it playing the new version. Friday Facts always comes out on what I call Saturday, so I'm assuming the new release will come out during our Wednesday when we're back at work.

how to feed and stack a normal steam engine?
Given that the water connection(s) have changed.

Can someone confirm if the building blueprints from zoomed in map view made it into 0.15? I was soo looking forward to it.

[5thHorseman]

I didn't think I'd get hyped. I even set my Steam branch to 0.14 to make sure when 0.15 came out I could play my current world at my leisure, ignoring the new update.

But forget that. MY BODY IS READY.

Thanks. The rocket science (not gonna call it space science ) is truly a brilliant idea. Whole update is just full of pure awesomness. I know you guys have heard a lot of kind words already, but for the work you have done it is not enough.

They look horrible to me though...
