Yep... they're late again...

Only the second time in years though, I mean, pretty impressive overall imo.

I wonder if they actually just forgot or if they're still working on it :P

Well Klonan normally posts the forum link, and if he's in the US atm, then by his clock he isn't late (yet).

Yeah, I'm in the eastern US, and it was posted at 5:35, so there was plenty of time. It actually seems like they've been coming earlier recently (this being a minor exception).
There are 10 types of people: those who get this joke and those who don't.

WHY ON THIS GAY EARTH ARE THOSE COMMANDS SO GOD DAMN LONG?
I really hope that's just mashup for sake of preview, but if f.e. color command will be longer than 10 signs total i riot.

They're adding easier ways to put them in chat, etc.

I can imagine also another usage of this:

lua can replace icon strings with code, that returns given signal and has loadstring function to execute it ... :)

This looks most awesome!
You know, in Minecraft they have the json format in /tellraw commands and books and stuff, that was really useful and cool for map making. Now it's in Factorio, too, Great!

Will you have both [color= and [colour= tags supported?

POVRay Scene Description Language supports both.

HTML only supports the American one (or this was the case last time I was writing HTML by hand), which gave me a lot of trouble when coding pages and not getting the expected results.

The syntax changed. By trial and error I ran onto the right one.
Simply type [item=solar-panel] etc.
Some people say math is useless in life. I say life is useless in math.
