this have been sugested 2^1024 times...
And yup, if you read some posts, it will be for version 0.5 (not sure, lemme check)

Edit:

Factorio 0.4.0 (expected release at the end of April):

Game determinism and replay
- This is a first step towards the multiplayer
- Involves the replay functionality improvements (pause, fast forward, etc.)
First version of the scenario pack
- There will be three scenarios to start with
The trains
- Originally a stretch goal however we got a lot of requests for this
- There is already some functionality for the trains in the game and we want to finish it
Electricity improvements
- Accumulator entity
- Large electric pole
(Maybe) Speed improvements
- Thread separation of render and updater

Factorio 0.5.0 (expected release at the end of May):

First rough version of the multiplayer
- only cooperative mode probably with bugs
Automatic Factorio updater
- no need for manual download anymore
Additional resources and electricity sources
- titan and uran
- nuclear energy
- advanced mining drills
Standard Campaign and Scenario Pack Extension

Please note, for those non-Europeans please use spaces or don't put anything there at all. With global communities like this, the way you write large numbers are different. IE
$10.49 and $10,49. Either one could be interpreted as ten dollars and 49 cents, or one thousand forty nine dollars depending on where you live and how you write numbers.
