Version 0.16.0

Is it just me or does it seem strange you do not need an artillery turret to build an artillery wagon?

[bobucles]

found a treat not listed in the notes, nuclear fuel for cars/tanks/trains 1.21GJ 250% acceleration

Great scott!
Looks like the major features are
- Stacks to 1 (55% inventory fuel capacity compared to rocket fuel)
- 115% top speed (same as rocket fuel)
- 250% acceleration (big train boost)
- Stick it in a boiler like any other fuel (nuclear pollution yay!)
- No Prod3s, not an intermediate product (?????)
- TOO FAST (player vehicle braking research when? )

One thing I noticed is that white science is nowhere to be found in the crafting menu. Technically its ingredients are rocket + satellite and it's made in the silo. With all the good things getting polished up, I guess this was worth a mention.

Oh and no more landfill cheating anymore. Seablock early game is going to need some rebalancing.

Thank you guys very much.

fuck I wanted to do that

[keyboardhack]

This is awesome. Got a ~25% perf boost
Time to blow up biters in real time!

I still don't see any advantage whatsoever to this being on a wagon instead of static =/ just seems like a pain that if you want one permanently planted in an outpost it still needs to be on rails.

There are 2 versions of artillery. Static turret and a mobile artillery wagon.

Amen to that... in every conceivable scenario.

Not really? The Artillery Wagon recipe has all the same item requirements except less gears and no concrete and instead pipe and engines, because it's not being anchored into the ground into but into a moving wagon.
So basically building the turret is part of the recipe already!
Also rail cannons are built somewhat differently from turret artillery, I believe.

[Serenity]

Is it me or was water generation changed? Setting it to something like "frequency - low, size - big" generated big continents separated by large oceans, but connected by a few land bridges. Now you just get masses of lakes

very low, very large comes closer to what it used to be, but is noticeably different too. You get large bodies of water, but the land outside the starting area is pretty small and broken up. There are even islands

Also, about uranium. It can still be generated right outside the starting area, so you don't necessarily have to go far

A few quick notes on artillery shells:

- The inventory item stacks to 1 and inserters will thus only move one shell at a time. It is more inventory efficient to load up ingredients and assemble on site.
- The stationary gun stores 15 shells and will auto load up to 5 shells.
- Artillery trains store up to 100 ammo. Don't hold back.
- Wagons will not attempt to fire on the move and their guns will park when the train moves.
- Ammo is not shared between guns or cargo wagons (but they only hold 40 ammo anyway, build more guns!).
- The targeting remote will show a count of how many guns are in range.
- Artillery has no damage bonuses, not that you really need it.
- Artillery shells can fire into the fog of war and will scout it.
- Range research boosts both automatic range and maximum range. Maximum range is SCARY.

Use the mobile artillery to ferry the arty shells, you can unload them using an inserter

Christmas came early!!!

Thanks Wube!

Now, I just can't wait for my other package under the tree... a t-shirt!!! (I wonder how long it takes to ship one from Prague to the US)

after enabling experimental updates and restarting the game it also want to update from 0.14.22 to 0.16.0.
now i'm totally confused...

[Zavian]

The linux build is buggy. (It has already been reported multiple times in the bug report forum). It should be fixed for 0.16.1

[ZombieMooose]

Idk if this was intended, but I can't seem to find the options of not using crafting groups and such.

[Koub]

This is not a "bug report" thread. It's a release thread. If you experience technical issues, please have a look in the Technical Help and Bug report sections, and post if your issue is unknown.

[bobingabout]

I'm honestly not ready to work on updating my mods, however, after a few quick fixes, I'm yet to find a loading error that isn't "icon_size" not found.

It's annoying, but if that's the only error I encounter, I'll be happy.

Edit: I take it back, Autoplace controls complained to me about category tag not set.... still an easy fix.
