[Smarty]

Awww but kovarex congratulations

[Klonan]

Get well soon!

[McRib]

Solution for this: Just put Kovarex with coffee in a PC room and let him do this magic and dont let him out until he is finished .

Argh the pain of no .12! :-O

Oh congrats on that wedding thing.

[skomick]

Individually, we might feel a pang of disappointment. But I can't imagine how it must feel making the decisions that you know are going to disappoint thousands of people. That being said, there must be good reasons for the postponement, so I for one am with you guys!
Congratulations on the wedding!
Get well soon!

My first reaction was ... OK, I buy a T-Shirt. A oil factory would be a cool motive.

I think you bug fix sessions are to long. Can it be that there is a lack of propper software architectue or attitude of work.

[JamesOFarrell]

I think a t-shift with a power armor grid would look pretty cool.

Edit: I should also say, congrats on getting engaged

[Mangledpork]

T-shirts? Count me in!
Not sure about the loading bar one myself, my ideal shirt would be just the cog, and factorio either under it or on the back. Some might prefer "Factorian".

I waited a month for Factorio 0.12, and all I got is this lousy T-shirt.

[Ohlmann]

I hate you !

More seriously, is it impossible to get the 0.12 as experimental update, for thoses who play alone ?

[_aD]

The good news, if you ask me! Congratulations are in order. Then, back to the walls to defend them against the Biters!

[Candunc]

Ah man, was looking forward to playing this during the commute to the US next week . Love the tshirt idea, I'll totally buy one. Also, congrats on planning to get married, hope that goes wonderful for you!

Perhaps you can do weekly 'unstable' releases, where we get to test out new features, but things that aren't ready, such as multiplayer or new features, are disabled. Then when it is almost ready to release, you can push it up to an experimental release, where you do the final bugfixes for the stable release!

[matheod]

Maybe "Releasing 0.12" for the text ?

[Buggi]

T-Shirt ideas:

Big Biter sprite instead of "loading sprites"

You could create a "set" where it has one of a sprite of a factory, mining drill, oil refinery, research lab, furnace and boiler

One that has a row of each belt wrapped around it.


Just some ideas

Do it right . I am sad to not play 0.12 now, but your relesaeas are the ones that AAA's do not do. So take your time and put Betheda, EA, UBI and all others to shame (basically, bury their graves 10 miles deep), and give us a working alpha

btw, gratulations to wedding preparations (I have feasted silver marriage some years ago)

AAA not do?

Hi !

I'd like to see a t-shirt with one basic item, that makes the game unique. Like a transport belt or an inserter. Maybe a basic setup mixing a few of those ? But it would have to be a very good and simple setup.
Also, a funny sentence about a common situation in Factorio could be nice. Something like :
"A : Build railways.
B : Set up a clever train schedule.
C : Get killed by the train."

Personally, I like merch, but I love funny merch.

Well, GLHF with your next week of bug hunting, we're with you !
