Friday facts #95 - 0.12 Release today

[jockeril]

I was 95% certain that there will be a version today, after last week's FFF #94 (kovarex said they will give us a version to play single player) - I ok with multiplayer problems in the experimental version, since I don't play multiplayer yet...

Have a great week end everyone ! hope you stop to eat and get off the chair every now and then

No new updates on win x64.

Windows automatic update is disabled for now due to an issue.
You will have to use the installer or zip for now.

Any idea when the automatic update will be fixed? Because I'm stuck with really crappy Internet for now and I don't want to download the whole client with 10kb/sec

I suggest you don't wait for the fix - better wait for the whole client D/L ( I think that's what the update does anyway, since this is a major update)

When do we get steam keys?

[DaemosDaen]

Time to start a new game

When do we get steam keys?

That's not going to start until 0.12 is declared 'Stable' and released on Steam, which will likely take more than a few weeks, then they have to go through the Greenlight process (or alternatively get in touch with Valve themselves, given Factorio is a lot more than just 'proof of concept' at this point)... Unless someone from the actual design team wants to drop in and explain the plans for Steam so far.

Umm...
So I just got home and updated the game and now it won't open.
When I launch it the window pops up and then closes. I'm on linux.
Is anyone else having this problem?

I noticed you said the circuit network can be connected to the existing storage tanks, pumps and offshore pumps.

That is, there are not separate smart tanks and smart pumps.

Is this a temporary thing, or is this going to be the future direction of the circuit network?

@kovarex, soon the Friday Facts are going to be fully automated and the progress reports are going to be done by some obscure script of yours. Let's just hope it doesn't grow a conscience of it's own

I'm liking the update so far but I do have one question. Is there any way to remove stone path after placing it?

Keep up the great work!

The changing of way stacks in hand are handled have been changed and not mentioned.

I play with the auto sorting off & used split stacking to control production in new construction for testing, feeding things manually, as well as manually running things when I want to. However, this change in the way the hand now grabs a full stack from your inventory & completely ignores very intentional & deliberate split stacks. It works just fine opening each machine & then shift clicking, but now it's a lot slower inputting smaller stacks of things.

If there won't be an option to disable this change or give us back the old stack preserving method, then could you at least add it to the changelog? A very frustrating & annoying change.

I must admit, that I cannot follow your description. I think this is one of those cases when a picture says more than 1000 words.

They said ..

"Download stable release

This is the cutting edge "experimental" version. There might be some nasty bugs. Use on your own risk. Your computer probably won't explode though . "

This happened.

That's why it says "probably"
