Changes

Removed the message of "<X> is in the way" when building over the exact same entity with same direction and position as in cursor. (65436)
Rails under trains can be marked for deconstruction. (72579)
Better latency hiding in multiplayer when experiencing connection issues. Less issues with rubber-banding or character teleporting.
Latency hiding is no longer completely disabled when the character is shooting. Character position and animation are still not latency-hidden while the character is in combat (10 seconds after shooting or taking damage). This should make combat smoother in multiplayer.
The Linux version of the game now depends on PulseAudio.

Fixed that textfield selection wasn't removed when the focus was lost. (72860)

Modding

Equipment with the "manual" shape now renders backgrounds/outlines automatically like equipment with the "full" shape.

Use the automatic updater if you can (check experimental updates in other settings) or download full installation at http://www.factorio.com/download/experimental.

Please provide the linux headless tarball so I can update from 53 to 54. I can see the full game is https://www.factorio.com/download/experimental but it hasn't arrived at https://www.factorio.com/download-headless/experimental to obtain so I can update my server.

EDIT: Thank yoooooooooou!!

Posted: **Thu Jul 04, 2019 1:59 pm**

hmmm, the client auto updater seems to fail on download, and when I go to https://www.factorio.com/download/experimental I get 404 not found when I click on the various download links... Something is off...

edit: There now, seems as though CDN took longer than usual to update...

Posted: **Thu Jul 04, 2019 2:01 pm**

I, too, am seeing 404 issues.

Posted: **Thu Jul 04, 2019 2:02 pm**

Yep, latest headless is just 404 when I try to download it.
CDN issues maybe?

Well well, that particular "ain't gonna do it" didn't last very long. Did someone make a rainbow-colored background :D?
Cheers though, more work automated!

I am also unable to download the latest headless experimental. When I try and use the following URL to download 0.17.54 headless I'm getting a 404 from the web server:

Why did a burner inserter don't produce pollution?

I am getting "Update Failed" going from .52 to .54 at just above 50% download.

I am getting the same thing. Trying to update from .50 to .54 It quits around 50%.

I am using the in-game update, as I bought the game through the website and not on steam.

EDIT: after the 4th try it completed.....

I would have also liked to see latency hiding when connecting to a server for driving a car, sometimes it is very hard to drive when the response time till the car moves from when you press the button is too long and i crash into things. it would be nice if it was as smooth as when playing local.

Thankyou for continuing to fix things devs!! :D
The bug reports forum is down to less than one page, I can't believe it! All other devs/games I've seen, the bug reports forum never gets empty. Stuff just accumulates, and only the recent things stand any chance of getting looked at. It's so cool that with Factorio absolutely every point raised is being considered.
Basically just thanks for being so awesome :>

Yasss.
Pulseaudio is by no means perfect but OSS has been broken for me for some time now and only way to get working sound was with padsp that emulates OSS via pulseaudio. And running steam via padsp breaks half of steam.
So now I can finally stop wasting time on trying to make that deprecated OSS-heap work

Dammit. I took far too long to realize what's happening :D.

The oldest pending bug has an epic quote though:

Pending isn't a dumping category though; the bugs in pending are specifically waiting for more information from the reporter because they're too vague or couldn't be reproduced. Minor issues is a better representation of where bugs are "shelved" on low priority.
