Variable refresh rate support for the console's screen.
Does this mean VRR-support for PC as well? Please say yes!
Not asking for higher FPS (though smooth-scrolling would be nice), just that VRR stops causing "un-smoothness".

I went back to playing factorio now that it's been a year since the release of SA, and I'm very very happy to see a new FFF

(And now I actually plan on finishing SA, I have very mixed feelings about Aquilo)
Thanks Wube, I really want to see what else you got in store for the FFFs in the near future !

There is a purple inserter on this image, will this mean anything?
Sadly it cant be the long handed stack inserter i would've hoped for.

I assume it's left over from when there was a specific filter inserter, before all inserters could filter:

Glad to hear that the Nintendo Switch 2 upgrade is free! I'm looking forward to trying out mouse controls. Controller support is already great considering how complex Factorio can be, so it'll be interesting to see how mouse controls improve/change things.

Glad to hear that you are taking the time for 2.1. Really looking forward to it.
@Twinsen - I hope you found the time to set up zigbee

I love dissecting these types of images. The devs definitely do this on purpose to mess with us

I hope I didn't miss any other 'errors'!

"Mouse Mode" is how the user Bigfoot (
youtube) plays this game on PC. He has been playing with controller and mouse for years. Might be worth reaching out to if you want some insights in user experience for that control scheme.

Super-exciting news!
Any chance of an iOS (iPad Tablet -- they come w/keyboard & mouse now a days, and quite powerful CPUs!) version in our future?
Seems to me there'd be a lot of sales, there!

Nice read as always ! It doesn't feel like time passed fast though, it feel like it was yeeeaars ago after playing so much, novelty wears off fast

even if there's couple things i have yet to try to keep me busy for when 2.1 arrives
Happy to hear the making of the switch 2 tm version helped the performance of the PC version too, that you make project for the future, and that you're working on 2.1

Any chance we could get a IOS/ Android release too? I’ve been playing with UTM and box64 a native port would be so much easier and another sale
