icons discussed starting from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqwymEjGxv4&t=2515
in short: blue icon: locomotive /red: wagon
They look horrible to me though...

To me they look like 1/3 of the train and 1/3 of the cargo wagon. A bit unusual but ok, I think.

Diesel locomotive with diesel fuel?

Diesel locomotive with diesel fuel?

That has been there before. It would be a nice idea.

It wont be a diesel locomotive in .15 anymore.

0.15 Hype
I've been a vanilla player since 0.10, though with the new shuttle workings, I'm excited to see if a space mining mod comes up.
Can't wait to try death world!

People asking for an exact time for release on Tuesday... LOL! Would you like that to the nanosecond, or will the nearest microsecond be enough?

Well, the time in GMT rounded to nearest second would work for me.

The refineries at the bottom left are utilizing a new 0.15 recipe - coal liquefication to get more oil for the price of coal.

I feel like a pioneer: I have been using coal liquefaction throughout 0.14

This will turn coal into something actually useful. Plus you're now independent from big oil deposits. Thank you!

This is the only thing this FFP is really missing and actually looks more like a FFP bug. Hopefully it will be fixed for the V0.16/1.00 and that FFP will have a time counter.

When appears 0.16? Waiting for 0.16 is so boring!

Depending on the exact time, the "Tuesday" may actually be Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday for people in different time zones.

why not today? ;( want it today...want to play ;$

[Nova]

Everyone wants to play now, illmaren, you are not alone. ^^

[Tardan]

I'm so excited by this.
All of this awesomeness is just for $20.

I NEED AN INSTRUCTION HOW TO DONATE MOAR, I'M NOT KIDDING!!1111

There is Factorio Soundtrack DLC in Steam. I would buy any new DLC no matter what's inside, because Factorio's price/fun ratio is too low.

at the buy page you can give a tip: https://www.factorio.com/buy

this is better for donation. because at the steam page around 30% from you money go to steam.

Because no one wants to have to work furiously like a madman over a weekend to fix any bugs found only after release. Think of it as the calm before the (potential) storm

Well since it's a global thing the release date could be any time during Tuesday edging into late Monday for some people or early Wednesday for some. Having a rough time estimate would help a little bit there. A good example would be the Friday Facts themselves. I live on the west coast of the US and the Friday Facts appear in my RSS feed around 4-5pm for the most part. (There's some earlier ones in my feed that appeared at 11am but the last dozen or two are 4-5pm.) My timezone is GMT+8 so that means anyone in the GMT+1/GMT+0 timezones or lower would be getting them on Saturday. (Or actually I may be off by a full day there and they get it Friday while I get it on Thursday? This last one was April 20th in my feed which was Thursday though it definitely didn't at 5pm like it's marked in my feed. This is exactly why having a rough estimate would be helpful. Timezones are fairly confusing at times.)

Those changes are awesome! Im so excited but I miss one thing: flippable blueprints

[Johntron]

The changes look great! I want to play and test this Tuesday!
