[0.15.2] factorio.pdb is included in the install

Post by Zyrconia »

Unless Factorio does something weird I am not aware of, *.pdb visual studio program database files are not needed only during the development process. Once you have a shippable binary, it is safe to delete them.

Not a bug.

The .pdb file is used to generate a human-readable stacktrace for the log file, see this thread: viewtopic.php?f=49&t=24750

Ah, nice one!

Most devs don't go into such depths to investigate stack dumps.

Thank you!
