Version 0.17.0

[Brathahn]

Updated installation linux gives me

Code: Select all

File __base__/campaigns/beta/description.json not found (No such file or directory)

Guess I can fix it from the download, but you should know that this happened.

Edit: I don't think downloading 1,1Gig of full game is worth one json file, can I get it standalone somehow?

i have the same problem on windows.

Love you guys,
I've made a big pan of soup and got beers in the fridge.
My mate on his way round for a gaming session, then you release 0.17

Awesome, we'll test the shit out of it.

Use the automatic updater if you can (check experimental updates in other settings)

I don't have this option in the Steam version, and the installer is trying to install under Program Files rather than into my Steam library. I use a Steam controller to play, so I have to run the game through Steam for that to work. Am I missing something, or will the installer automagically connect the game to Steam when I run it? (Some games do this, some don't.)

EDIT: Resolved.

Yes the Steam version works, just go into the betas and select it.

Finally! I am waiting for this for so long time. I was holding myself and not playing it. Haha. Goodbye life.

Wait can I still build repair outposts that stop trains passing by for repairs?

From what I recall from FF if you give it a wait fo few secs condition it will stop.

My repair outpost doesn't use train stops. It uses signals with circuit network to stop all trains that pass by for some time and until no construction bots are deployed.

Edit 2: Removing the beta (and demo, just in case) directories from the campaigns folder made it start for now.

This is how that looks on MacOS:

And for some unknown reason, the demo directory can not be deleted.

The demo directory may however be moved away (which makes the game start).

The only thing in the demo directory is a Russion localisation directory (a few directories). The bottommost directory, "ru", looks empty, but actually seems to contain a hidden file. This makes the directory un-deletable.

Linux tarball link looks still broken

Edit 2 worked for me, Widows version.
Thanks.

Waiting for updates keeps me awake, thanks for the great work!

Love the Logitech keyboard loading animation !

[RocketManChronicles]

Excellent, tonight I get to start fresh in 0.17!

[jatz81]

Yes!!!! The legendary 0.17 is here !

[SupplyDepoo]

Is it supposed to run on Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks)? I get this error when I launch it:

(Since I created a post about this issue in the Technical Support forum, I'm unsubscribing from this thread because I don't want to be bombarded with email notifications.)

Thanks guys!!

EDIT: Seems like Automatic Updater is not working for me: "Download failed (HTTP status code 404)"
EDIT2: Working now. Weird.

When I told my wife Factorio 0.17 was out, she told me "well, see you again in three months".
So long life ! Forum moderation, here I come !

Medium and Big power pole recipes now use iron sticks.
Lamp recipe iron sticks ingredient changed to copper cables.

Gah! While I like the increased use of the neglected iron sticks, this is really messing up my mall

Rocket launcher range increased from 22 to 36 to outrange medium worms.

Nice. I always felt that it was way too low
