Kovarex enrichment history

Post by inasfe »

"Kovarex enrichment process is now unlocked by automation, logistic and chemical science pack only."

This does not seem to be reflected on the research's page, and it still requires production science in the current version of the game. I assume this ether means:
A) It was silently reverted in a later update (No other patch notes mention Kovarex enrichment)
B) This was an erroneous patch note, in which case I think the wiki page should clarify it as so?

The update notes are verbatim from the official release notes and not subject to change. They're not a regular part of the wiki, they're included for reference.
According to https://github.com/wube/factorio-data/b ... .lua#L5176 the change you mentioned was never in the released game.

As far as I see, the wiki documents the game correctly and just the update notes contain an error. You're free to add this to some "trivia" section to create a note about that, but honestly I don't see this as good to know because it was never in the game. And how the devs internally shuffle research requirements back and forth before release is not that important. It's just a small error in the update notes. Do you want all your own errors pointed out in public this way?

I encourage you to put your energy into improving and extending stub articles with missing information instead. How about those?

I've updated the in-game changelog for the next release and also updated the wiki page accordingly. No worries about pointing out issues like this.
