I normally don't respond to reports outside of Bug report section, but we will have to do hotfix release (come at me ptx0), so I want to know if something got broken in this area too ... so ... can you be more specific? I mean, there are no mod settings if you don't have mods.

Every time I tryed update mod - I get and fatal error and Factorio crash.

I have posted in the bug section too.

I have some mods of my own, when I goto setting -> mod settings I get a blank screen saying there are no setting to change, when I know my own mod has several startup settings that can be altered.

Got full A+B mods plus LTN and some others. From the main menu get "There are no..." for startup map and player. Same for ingame

EDIT: Just tried updating mods, and got a crash

EDIT2: Never mind, both already in bug forum

Thank you!

Ok, that seems to be all of the factorio friday fuck-ups ... hotfix release should be out soon ... ETA 90 minutes.

Do not deploy on Friday (55M results found). I don't believe you haven't heard of it

Krastorio 2 with LTN and schall endgame also failed to update mods and deleted all mod settings.

Removed Compilatron chest,

aaaaaand all my scenarios are broken.

Not removing compilatron also includes to not remove his other assets

There is no other chest that would have distinctive graphics so people know "this is objective chest". This was one and is no more.

There are many ways to tell the same idea using slightly different words. Google also know about it and tries to guess your actual intention. That is good.
Anyway, try "deploy" "on friday".

I was still early, so I suppose they felt confident enough

New Campaign was good, wait to next steps)
