So back to my original question.... is there a change to vanilla weapon range?

So does this mean weapons shoot farther? Or not as far?

10^308 (read: ten to the power of 308) is a 1, followed by 308 zeros.
Therefore, the maximum range has been decreased.
However, since I've never actually seen any projectiles leave the boundaries of the known universe (10^308m = 1.06 * 10^292 light years), I don't believe that made any relevant changes to weapon range.

No, that is why they put it in the Scripting section.

((REALLY Sorry for Frozen. But it was the only gif I could think of that fits))

But seriously, this SUCH a good change. This changes EVERYTHING about early game power systems.

This also means that each laser tower has now two attack ranges displayed
Looks curious

Thanks for explaining it

Nice, My request has been granted.

Thank You Factorio Dev team.

For whatever reason, my vanilla Laser Turrets say Range 1000.

It also has standard 25 displayed - this is the limit that was added in this patch.

Oh come on guys, this would have been so good map... (enemy bases to maximum, but this cozy little spot with everything needed to survive)

Boats must happen soon. Or at least catapult so i can fling myself to the mainland when i am ready

Doesn't the story mention some kind of aeroplane?

Does this mean we won't get the Sensor for the Accumulator until alpha 13?

I had been hoping that at least the simplest of the promised items that got postponed from alpha 12, were only meant to be postponed to alpha 12.1 and not all the way to 13.0.

Possibly the best and most wanted new feature. Great!

Yes, indeed! Burner Inserters just became literally a million times more useful.

You can! You need to place a car on the other side and jump into it. The distance to the main land to the upper left corner seems near enough to do that

With landfill mod, this would be a perfect fortress, care to share the map string ?

Was something done to Laser Turrets? An attack on my defense lines suddenly turns off my entire factory, something that did not happen before patch.

Oh, I just checked Wiki. Laser Turret had 600 kW drain, now it has 6 MW... ten times more. Did I miss it in patch or something?

Laser turret power requirement was quadrupled in the 0.12 update.

Replace 'quadrupled' with whatever you say when it was multiplied by ten and you are spot on.

Decupled?
Increased tenfold?

• Changed Assembling machine's auto-insertion behaviour when using speed module effects. Faster speed with fast recipes will insert more items sooner.

I don't quite understand the effect of this change. Could someone give me an example of how this would be different?
