Major Features:
- Added logistic requests to spidertron.
- Train stop allows to set limit of incoming trains.
Features:
- The continue button now respects the last type of game played (single player,
MP host, MP client).
- Added support to use blueprints, deconstruction planners, upgrade planners,
and modded selection tools from the map view.
- Hovering the alert notification will show arrows on the edge of the pointing
to alert locations.
- Rich text icon selector.
- Newly unlocked recipes are highlighted until hovered.
- Spidertron remotes now allow to add queue commands and a command to follow
any entity.
- Added vertical/horizontal blueprint flipping.
- Transport belt drag building is locked into a line, can be turned off by an
interface setting.
- Ghosts can be fast replaced and rotated.
- Ghost build can be used to fast replace non-ghost entities, which results in
an upgrade order with (optionally) a direction
change order.
Minor Features:
- When editing blueprint:
Added a way to specify relative grid position for blueprint that is snapping
to absolute grid.
Blueprint preview rendering box is updated based on selected grid size and
position.

inventory slot (moves all).
- Equipment can be placed by moving.
- Cursor replenishes when placing into the equipment grid the same way as when
building in world.
- Spidertron item shows its color.
- Added a way to reset spidertron remote.
- Spider tries to move legs away when they are blocking robots construction.
- Power poles/underground belts built by dragging logic works also with ghost
building.
- Power pole ghosts show connections.
- Power pole connections are saved in the blueprint. They still auto connect to
other poles outside the blueprint.
- Entities marked for deconstruction show the target upgrade.
- Added tags, worker robots, rail signal states and recipes toggles into the
settings to what show on the map.
- Added support to use the add-stop and add-temporary-stop controls for the
train you're driving in the map view.

- Productivity module 2 decreases speed of the machine by 10% instead of 15%.
Changes:
- the Close GUI key-binding (default value is "E") was renamed to Confirm Gui.
It works the same as before for many cases (just closing the GUI), but in a
lot of other cases, it works as confirm, which generally means
the same as clicking the "green button".
- Renamed clean-cursor to clear-cursor on all the relevant places (locale, key-
binding name)
- Equipment placing now uses the build key-binding instead of the cursor
transfer. The default same key-binding is the same.
- Changed maximum temperature of all fluids apart water and steam to be the
same as the default.

range. (https://forums.factorio.com/91498)
- Fixed softlock in tutorial if the player took the iron plates too quickly.
- Fixed missing blueprint components scroll bar when there is a lot of
components. (https://forums.factorio.com/91426)
Modding:
- New item flag "spawnable", every item has to have that flag to be creatable
through the shortcuts directly. (https://forums.factorio.com/87777)
- Renamed create-blueprint-item shortcut action to spawn-item and
item_to_create to item_to_spawn.
- Increased the total number of collision masks from 14 to 55. See the lua-api
collision mask concepts page for which layers the game doesn't actively use.
- Changed collision mask 'layer-11' to 'rail-layer'.
- Changed collision mask 'layer-12' to 'transport-belt-layer'.
- Changed loader to only connect to the front belt, not from side. This is to
fix internal problems related to modded loaders with custom sizes and side loading
of it.
- Implemented NoiseExpressions::fromPropertyTree for the "offset-points" noise
expression function.
- Removed rocket silo rocket prototype property "result_items" because it did
nothing.
- Added draw_as_light and draw_as_glow property to sprite definitions.
draw_as_shadow, draw_as_light and draw_as_glow are mutually exclusive and
draw_as_shadow takes precedence.
- Unified laser and beam related ammo categories to just "laser" and "beam".
- Renamed technology "laser-turret-speed"->"laser-shooting-speed", it now
affects both robots and laser turrets.
- Renamed technology "turrets"->"gun-turret", "laser-turrets"->"laser-turret",

- Removed 'bait-chest', 'crash-site-assembling-machine-1-broken', 'crash-site-
assembling-machine-1-repaired', 'crash-site-assembling-machine-2-broken', 'crash-
site-assembling-machine-2-repaired',
'crash-site-electric-pole', 'crash-site-generator', 'crash-site-lab-broken'
and 'crash-site-lab-repaired' entities.
- Removed the "auto-character-logistic-trash-slots" modifier and
forceDataValues. The auto trash are now always enabled when any trash slots
present.
- Added direction to SimpleEntityWithOwner and SimpleEntityWithForce.
- Constrained collision_box and collision_mask of transport belt connectable
prototypes so it is not possible to build the entities in overlapping positions.
- Added optional draw_fluid_icon_override boolean to pipe to ground prototypes.
Causes fluid icon to be drawn, ignoring the usual pair requirement.
- Removed fluid turret prototype property 'indicator_light'.
- Added fluid turret prototype properties 'enough_fuel_indicator_light' and
'not_enough_fuel_indicator_light'.
- Added locomotive and car prototype properties 'front_light_pictures' and
'darkness_to_render_light_animation'.

This means the files with the demo- prefix were either merged into files
without the prefix and/or the prefix was removed from the file name.
Scripting:
- Renamed the clean_cursor method to clear_cursor.
- Renamed on_put_item to on_pre_build, as it is much more precise name for that
event. It fires when anything is used for building: item, blueprint, blueprint
record or ghost cursor.
- Changed 'control_behavior.parameters.parameters' to just
'control_behavior.parameters' for LuaDeciderCombinatorControlBehavior,
LuaConstantCombinatorControlBehavior, and LuaArithmeticCombinatorControlBehavior.
- Changed LuaItemStack::active_index to return `nil` if the blueprint book
inventory has zero slots. (https://forums.factorio.com/88427)
- Changed LuaItemStack::count to return 0 instead of failing when the stack is
empty.

- Changed on_player_cancelled_crafting 'cancel_count' to report the exact
number of crafts cancelled.

enough, or not present at all.
Modding:
- Renamed sprite and animation properties for sprite dicing from "slice",
"slice_x" and "slice_y" to "dice", "dice_x" and "dice_y",
because "slice" collided with property of rotated animation definition used
for defining spritesheet sliced into multiple files.
Sprite dicing is a technique of chopping large sprite into smaller ones to
improve packing in sprite atlas.

Version: 0.18.37
Date: 29. 07. 2020
Major Features:
- New blueprint library GUI. Its user interface had been aligned with the way
inventory works in as many ways as possible.
(https://www.factorio.com/blog/post/fff-356)
Features:
- Added blueprint building from the map view.
- Blueprints can have snapping dimensions specified. When they are built by
dragging, they are only built in the grid relative to where the build started.
- Blueprints can have absolute map snapping specified, so the blueprints are
always aligned to the global grid.
- Blueprint books can be inserted into blueprint books, cycling through the
books works in a hierarchical way.
- Upgrade planners and deconstruction planners can be inserted into blueprint
books and the blueprint library.
- Blueprint books, upgrade planners and deconstruction planners can now have
custom icons specified.
- All blueprints tools have an editable description.
- Added Blueprint reassign tool. It allows to set new contents of a blueprint
by world selection.
- All blueprint tools have a copy function.
- All the blueprint tools are usable directly from the blueprint library.
- Quickbar links to blueprint tools are persistent when moving them between
library shelves and inventories.
- Most of the blueprint tools manipulation in the blueprint library is part of
a multiplayer latency hiding.
- Icons on the blueprint tools and filters in the upgrade
planners/deconstruction planners are preserving the original values
so whenever the mods would be re-added, the original values can be restored,
unless the player clears the related icons manually.
- Any blueprint contents that are not available due to mod removal are also
kept in the blueprint persistently, so blueprints
can be copied and transferred in multiplayer without losing its original
data.
- Added downgrading feature to upgrade planner. It works on blueprints, books
and also when applying in the world.
- Clicking an upgrade planner button in the blueprint or a book now provides a
list of all available upgrade planners to be applied.
- Upgrade planners now also update the relevant icons of blueprints and books.
Minor Features:
- Grabbing an item from a blueprint book has the same hand item functionality
as when holding an item from inventory, so it
goes back to the original position when clean cursor is triggered.
Gui:
- All the blueprint tools now show all possible actions it can perform in the
tooltip.
- Control settings search now also searches by the currently assigned key-
binding.
Optimizations:
- Decreased the header size of blueprint-storage and of individual blueprints
with backed up modded entities, as only the id mapping
relevant to the blueprints (and whole storage) is now saved.
Bugfixes:
- Fixed that exporting blueprint didn't include the unconfirmed blueprint
changes into the exported string.
- Fixed blueprint preview icons rendering scale when blueprint was held in
cursor.
- Fixed that blueprint was not detecting modded data to be lost when loading
unless one of the top level entities or tiles were to be lost.
This means, that a blueprint with vanilla constant combinator (for example)
with a modded signal will no longer silently lose the modded signals on resaving
the blueprint storage when the mod is not currently active.
- Fixed that biters when faced with a rock might get stuck in an infinite
pathfinding loop. (https://forums.factorio.com/86552)
- Fixed that clicking a technology in the research queue, holding the mouse
down and moving it over the cancel button would make the cancel button flicker.
- Fixed slider tooltip would show old value.
- Fixed terrain particles would be spawned when walking over belts.

the real game state logic. (https://forums.factorio.com/84554)
- Fixed that the set-request GUI didn't respect the show-all-items setting.
- Fixed that burner assembling machines could cause inserters to get stuck
holding extra fuel in some cases. (https://forums.factorio.com/87031)
- Fixed noise.terrace function did not assert that constant parameters are
constant.
- Fixed that item durability tooltips used the wrong locale key in some places.
- Fixed that upgrading inserters in blueprints wouldn't preserve modded
pickup/drop locations. (https://forums.factorio.com/86982)
- Fixed that exporting empty blueprint books didn't work correctly.
- Fixed that the mods GUI didn't have any mod selection by default.

- Reduced flicker of mining drill indicator lights when zoomed out.
- Fixed lua documentation for LuaGuiElement::index read.
- Fixed that biters would try to attack over large distances individually
instead of in groups. (https://forums.factorio.com/86920)
- Map tag edit GUI can now be confirmed with Enter key even when the textbox is
not focused. (https://forums.factorio.com/86386)
- Fixed a pathfinder crash related to entities and tiles using collision layers
11 to 15. (https://forums.factorio.com/82098)
- Fixed the changelog GUI indentation.
Modding:

- Added "bitwise-and", "bitwise-or", "bitwise-xor" and "bitwise-not" noise
expression types.
- Added "sin", "atan2" and "cos" noise expression types.
- Added "less-than", "less-or-equal" and "equals" noise expression types.
- Changed turret base_picture animation to actually play the animation.
- Added several properties to ExplosionPrototype to control light fading
through applying a multiplier to the light's size and intensity.
"light_intensity_factor_initial" (default 0), "light_intensity_factor_final"
(default 0),
"light_intensity_peak_start_progress" (default 0),
"light_intensity_peak_end_progress" (default 0.9),
"light_size_factor_initial" (default 0.05), "light_size_factor_final"
(default 0.1),
"light_size_peak_start_progress" (default 0.1),
"light_size_peak_end_progress" (default 0.5)
Scripting:
- Added permission events: on_permission_group_edited,
on_pre_permission_string_imported, on_permission_string_imported,
on_pre_permission_group_deleted, on_permission_group_deleted, and
on_permission_group_added.
- Simplified the rules of entity positions aligned to grid in the blueprint.
Now they have the same rules as entities in the world.

- Changed how beams are drawn to improve seamless tiling of beam segments.
Head and tail segments are now stretched to fill space from source/target
position to next segment.

action every damage_interval, instead the action is triggered when
its owner triggers shooting. The old behavior can be turned on by setting
BeamPrototype::action_triggered_automatically to true.

so they use exactly one slot corresponding to the specified fluidbox of the
machine.

Version: 0.17.29
Date: 12. 04. 2019
Changes:
- Simplified rail building.
Holding shift while rail building always activates the combination of ghost-
rail-building + remove-obstacles, releasing shift returns back to normal manual
mode.
It doesn't matter anymore, whether the rail building started with shift or
not.
This removed the possibility to do ghost-rail-building without the remove-
obstacles, but since it seems to be almost useless, we consider it to be worth the
simplification.
- font/color rich text tags now have to be properly terminated. This means eg:
"[color=red]Red circuits" will now need to be "[color=red]Red circuits[/color]".
This fixes a number of issues with handling start/end tags.
(https://forums.factorio.com/66263, https://forums.factorio.com/66256)
- Enter key will be shown as "ENTER" instead of "RETURN" on Windows and Linux.
Minor Features:
- Added a shortcut for increasing/decreasing/resetting UI scale, mainly for
debugging of proper automatic adjustment of UI, but people might find it useful for
something as well.
Bugfixes:
- After a realization of a big misleading mistake, the pollution per second had
to be renamed to pollution per minute, because it is what it actually is.
- Fixed that tree pollution absorption was recorded as pollution emission in
the statistics.
- Fixed that equipment electric network priority migration wasn't present.
- Crafting group selection by typing exact recipe match will now preserve the
same way as selecting the crafting group manually.
- Fixed few layouting issues in the mods GUI.
- Fixed that sticker duration could be 0. (https://forums.factorio.com/69042)
- Restored previous behavior where normal (not only underground) pipe
connections reconnected when a fluidbox got removed.

wheels on rails, but no rail in-between. (https://forums.factorio.com/68623)

- Fixed that the loading indicator in the browse games GUI was left of the
"Back" button. (https://forums.factorio.com/66513)
- Fixed turret prototype definition allowed ammo_type of attack_parameters to
be optional resulting in crash when the turret started to shoot.
- Don't consider recipes with 0 minimum amount (and possible randomised result)
when resolving automatic crafting of ingredients when crafting manually.
Scripting:
- Changed the LabelStyle::want_ellipsis default value to true and it is never
changed to be something else now. We are considering to even remove this style
property
completely, as we basically want the ellipsis always when the label is
squashed.
- Added tile parameter to on_player_built_tile and on_robot_built_tile.
- Removed unused on_player_tool_inventory_changed event.
Modding:
- Added emissions_per_minute property in the energy source, that is supposed to
replace the emissions_per_second_per_watt which was basically wrong and hard to
work with,
both emissions_per_second_per_watt emissions definition will work for some
time (at least in 0.17) so mods don't get broken.

- Trains can be given temporary stations (by Control+clicking the map).
Temporary station is automatically removed once the train departures from it.
- Train stops without conditions work as waypoints. (the train doesn't stop at
those)
- Added Passenger present and Passenger not present wait condition to the train
conditions.
- If building of entity/blueprint fails, the reason of it is pinged as flying
text.
- Map pings. Ctrl+Alt+click on the map to show a ping in all players maps at
that location.
- Basic image tags format is [img=<image path>] where image path can use item,
entity, technology, recipe, item-group, fluid tile, virtual signal achievement or
utility icon.
For example [img=item/iron-plate] or [img=item.iron-plate]. The "." instead
of "/" usage is to make it usable in save names.
Additionally,
items/entities/technologies/recipe/item-group/fluid/tile/virtual signal or
achievement can be linked directly by [item=iron-plate], [recipe=iron-plate], or
[entity=small-biter] to provide tooltip for the appropriate object.
- Blueprint/special item tags.
Shift clicking the icon in chat will create an item and place it in the
cursor.
Format is [special-item=blueprint string], eg:
[special-item=0eNp1jtEKwjAMRX9l5rnCxkShvyIi3YxboU1Lm4lj9N9N54sv5iFwL/
eeZIPBLRiTJQa9gR0DZdDXDbKdyLjq8RoRNFhGDwrI+Ko4GcoxJD4O6BiKAksPfIPuyk0BElu2+CXtYr3T4
gdMEvjHUBBDllqgelVQrYJVdqnE/br+eVaBM1ITb0bnQvNMwTc8YzPOhiZ0YTpI5oUp78BL33YnmbY/l/
IBb4pSQQ==].
These tags also work with deconstruction and upgrade planners.

and will be updated in future minor updates.
- The quickbar is no longer an inventory, instead it can only hold shortcuts it
items in inventory or blueprint library.
The quickbar now has 10 pages of shortcuts.
Player inventory increased by 20 slots to compensate. Toolbelt research
further increases the player inventory.
- In the map, station and tag selection is now visualized by the standard
Factorio selection box graphics instead of highlighting.
- Added interface option: When selecting a buildable item from the quickbar or
when using the pipette tool, if you have no items of that type, a ghost will be
placed in the cursor instead.
- When something is not buildable (manual or blueprint building), the reason of
why it isn't buildable is shown as flying text over the cursor when the build is
attempted.
- Only compatible results of a furnace are manually placeable in the result
slot. (Mainly to avoid confusion of new players)
Optimizations:

OpenGL 3.3 Core and requires DirectX 10 class graphics card.
- DirectX backend doesn't keep backup of all sprites in RAM anymore.
- Added high quality texture compression to reduce amount of video memory
consumed by the game and increase overall rendering performance.
- Added texture streaming so that adding more sprites does not necessarily
increase GPU requirements.

with deep dependency trees (it's now 67,000 times faster).
- Optimized rendering of logistic overlay when zoomed in to map.
- Optimized rendering of turret ranges when zoomed in to map.
Changes:

predictable amounts. Uranium and oil are excluded from the starting area.
Resource generation settings now have a much more dramatic effect. Increased
the number of steps for each setting.
Ore patches are slightly less frequent but richer.
There will be a more balanced amount of resources within a large enough
region.
Many other small tweaks.
- Biter generation changed significantly:
Biter richness slider removed, biter placement is only configured by size and
frequency settings.
Biter generation settings now have a much more dramatic effect. Increased the
number of steps for each setting.
Biter bases will increase in size, frequency and number of worms depending on
the distance from player spawn.
Worm size increases depending on the distance from player spawn.
Small biter bases are now closer to the player spawn.
At large distances from player spawn, biter base frequency is lower than
before but biter bases are larger.
Other small tweaks.
- Terrain generation changed significantly:
Water is generated as large lakes instead of swamps.
Tile generation improved. Tile placement respects biomes better.
More predictable cliff placement.
Better controls in the map generator GUI for water, tiles and cliffs.

to the list when it is craftable by player.
- Increased ghost time to live of ghosts from 1 hour to 1 week.
- Since the catalysts have been tweaked, the kovarex enrichment process can now
be used together with productivity module.
- Tile construction jobs are being handled by robots separately from entity
building jobs, to prevent entity ghosts not being built due to large number of tile
ghosts.
- Switched key bindings from key codes to scan codes. This solves an issue with
bad default key bindings on layouts that are not similar to US QWERTY (ie. AZERTY).
- Armor no longer uses durability and all armor now has a stack size of 1.
- Manually putting modules into machines that are requesting modules from the
logistic network will reduce the modules requested.

simplify calculations. This should not change game balance.
- Removed the hardness/mining power mechanics, we just have a mining speed and
mining time now.
- Manual mining speed times of various entities will differ a bit, but probably
not in a noticeable way.
- Stone and other ore mining speed has been unified to be 1 (apart uranium ore,
which is 2 and shown as 200% mining time)
- Mining drill speed is now shown in the form of <x>/s (0.25/s for burner
mining drill, 0.5/s for electric mining drill), the relative mining
speeds of the mining machines have been decreased a little so the numbers are
rounded nicely (0.28 -> 0.25 and 0.525 -> 0.5).
- Renamed the whitelist and banlist to server-whitelist and server-banlist.
- Added server-adminlist that's used to determine which people are admins when
hosting any multiplayer game. This is synced both ways when hosting any game.
- Removed "admins" from the multiplayer server-settings file - they're now
handled through server-adminlist.
- "Z" (drop item) will drop single items into what ever entity is selected
instead of only dropping on the ground.
- Stickers can by applied onto cars and tanks now.
- Changed the chat gray-out mechanism. It always greyed-out after 5 seconds to
70% alpha, and then stayed depending on the setting. Now it stays 100% and only
greys out away in the last 2 seconds.
- Placing entities or paths removes tree stumps and biter corpses.
- Removed New Hope campaign.

Version: 0.15.27
Date: 03. 07. 2017
Balancing:
- Speed and efficiency module 3 technology now requires high tech science packs
instead of production science packs,
so that working towards power armor mk2 does not require production science
packs.
This makes the branching between high tech and production science packs more
meaningful.
- All researches now require equal ratios of science pack types. This reduces
the cost of some researches.

can fit more sprites into single atlas which reduces CPU load when rendering.

where would the train stop.
- It is possible to change the module in the slot to different one without
having to clear it first.
- It is possible to upgrade modules to more powerful variant in machine by fast
entity transfer.
- Clear cursor first cancels the current action (rail building, wire dragging,
blueprint/deconstruction), and only removes the item from the cursor when pressed
again.
- Saving a game changes selected name and directory for next saves.
- Clicking different filtered slot in quickbar will try to clear the currently
selected quickbar item if possible.
- Cleaning item in cursor that is taken from quickbar slot will try to refill
the slot from the inventory if possible.
- Clicking on the warning icon will open the location on the map.
- Pressing E/Escape will close the map mode.

- Hovering mouse over inventory logistic request slots makes matching items in
inventory be highlighted.
- Fixed the zoom to cursor feature introduced in 0.8 that was non functional
since 0.10.
- Improved the rail selection logic in junctions.
- Stone Rock can now be mined and deconstructed by robots. It gives some stone
as resource.
- Combinators input and output arrows in alt mode. Additional alt mode
information can be turned on in the options menu.

armor, deconstruction planner, selection tools).
- Inventory filter slots can be copy-pasted from empty slots onto empty slots
using the stack transfer/split controls (shift + left click, shift + right click by
default).
Balancing:
- The productivity module pollution addition was lowered (30%->5%, 40%->7.5%,
50%->10%), as the pollution generated by the machine is already increased
by the additional energy production and time, it doesn't need to be so high
as the modules are quite expensive already.
- Repair packs have double durability (100->200) and stack size (50->100).
- Changed stack size of raw wood (50->100) so it doesn't fill the inventory so
quickly.
- Roboport have decreased transmission power consumption (200kw->50kw) while
the robots (and their recharging) has increased power consumption (200kW per
recharge slot to 1Mw per slot)
Basically, covering area by roboports is cheaper, but using robots for
transport is more expensive. To keep the personal roboport usefulness, energies
used in personal roboport have been
all multiplied by 10.
- Inserters are able to squeeze things "slightly" better to belts. more
resources.
- Increased size of several green science and few blue science technologies.
- Increased inventory size of cargo wagon. (30->40)
- Oil yield drains to 10% two times slower.
- Big and behemoth enemies spawn 50% slower.
- Armor resistances are applied before the energy shield is used.
- Increased the ghost time to live when something is destroyed from 5 + 5
minutes to 30 + 30 minutes.
- Halved the mining time of rails, rail signals and walls.
- Changed the way evolution factor approaches the maximum (1).
The addition of evolution factor was changed from addition * (1 - evolution)
to addition * (1 - evolution)^2
This means that the progress gets more slower towards the high values.
- Balanced train acceleration and top speed, additional wagons no longer slow
trains so strongly.
- Changed the amount of items requested when copy-pasting assembling machines
to requester chests for several recipes.
- Express underground belts require lubricant to match the express belts and
express splitters.
- Increased battery equipment power storage, input, and output by a factor of
20.
Changes:

roboports on map.
- More virtual signals for combinators.
- Virtual signals can be used in blueprint icons.

- Ghosts created by player no longer expire and can be placed before
researching any technologies.
- Ghosts are brighter and easier to see.
- Alert of destroyed entity exists 2 times longer.
- Quickbar filters are set and unset using the same key.
- Loading a scenario without control.lua will automatically load the freeplay
game mode scripts.
This means new maps created in the map editor will get the freeplay game
mode.
- Loading a scenario in the map editor will preserve it's scripts.
This means custom freeplay/sandbox maps can be created in-game.
- Constant combinator can be rotated.
- All types of inserters can be controlled by the circuit and logistic network,
once the respective network is researched.
- All types of chests can be connected to the circuit network. Smart Chest was
removed from the game.
- Decider combinator "input count" option makes the combinator copy the count
of the specified output signal from the input signals,
instead of copying the count from the condition. This might break some
setups. https://forums.factorio.com/13706
- Transport belt connectable entities will disconnect from incoming (and all
other) belts when marked for deconstruction.
The problem is solves is described in this bug report:

Version: 0.12.11
Date: 16. 10. 2015
Features:
- Added --no-auto-pause: When running as a server, --no-auto-pause will prevent
stopping the game when no players are connected.
Optimizations:
- Optimised the particle performance. Helps during heavy fights.
Changes:
- Showing the log file location when the game crashes, so it is easier to find
when reporting the bug.
- The "graphics.force-opengl" option default value is true when AMD graphics
card is present.
Bugfixes:
- Fixed that multiple electric networks connected to a solar panel could be

- Fixed that remove_item didn't remove from player ammo, gun, tool and armor
slots. (https://forums.factorio.com/16960)
Scripting:
- Changed LuaSurface::set_multi_command signature. Now the function takes a
table with following keys:
command(required), unit_count(required), force(optional),
unit_search_distance(optional)
This solves issue with not finding any enemies to attack:
- Removed game.on_save function. There should be no need for it and it was
causing too many problems.
- Lua on_load function is not called when saving the game anymore. It is called
only on actual load now.
- Lua API calls on_load, on_init, on_configuration_changed, on_event and
generate_event_name
have been moved to a new namespace called script (so from now use
script.on_load(...)). This will break many mods!
The callback registered in on_load function doesn't have access to the game
API. This is to avoid common desyncs.
The on_init and on_configuration_changed still retain the access to the game
API.
- on_configuration_changed is fired when the map version changes, a mod version
changes, a mod is added, or a mod is removed and passes "data":
Pushes old_version="x.x.x", new_version="x.x.x" when loading map versions
other than the current version
When a mod version is changed it appears as a table of mod changes: {["Mod
name"] = {old_version="x.x.x", new_version="x.x.x"}, ...}
When a mod is added it appears as: ["Mod name"] = {old_version=nil,
new_version="x.x.x"}
When a mod is removed it appears as: ["Mod name"] = {old_version="x.x.x",
new_version=nil}
- Changed LuaGameScript::makefile to LuaGameScript::write_file and added an
optional third parameter bool to append.
Modding:
- Replaced entity type "rail" with types "straight-rail" and "curved-rail".
Property "bending_type" is optional for rail entities,
but is still mandatory for rail remnants.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------
Version: 0.12.0
Date: 17. 07. 2015
Major Features:
- The game is now finished by launching the rocket with satellite.
- Added chain signals, they can be used to make more complicated junctions and
stations without deadlocks.
- Added personal roboport as modular armor equipment.
Once it is active, it uses the materials and robots in the players inventory.
It supports all the tasks construction robots can do like building
blueprints, repairing structures, deconstruction etc.
- Added logistic trash fields to the character GUI.
They supply items into the logistic system in the same way active provider
chests do.
- Added combinators (Arithmetic Combinator, Decider Combinator and Constant
combinator).
These allow more advanced manipulation with the circuit network logic
- Multiplayer latency hiding (gives impression that some common tasks are
performed immediately)
Applies to character movement, mining buildings, building, fast replacing,
opening guis, etc.
- Stone brick can be used to build stone path. (30% walking speed increase).
- Concrete can be created.
The concrete can be used to build concrete floors (40% walking speed
increase).
- Terrain modifies vehicle friction force (sand: 1.8, grass: 1.6, dirt: 1.4,
stone path: 1.1, concrete: 0.8).
- The Lamp, Storage Tank, Small Pump and Offshore Pump can be connected to the
circuit network.
Features:
- Trees degenerate slowly when there high pollution levels.
- Lab research is now continuous. Science packs have progress bars of usage.
This means that 20 labs doing research with 10 units will still be faster
than 10
labs and the science packs aren't wasted.
- Assembling machine input slot can contain more than the usual stack size when
the recipe requirement demands it (3 X recipe demand).
Example: The rocket silo requires 1000 steel, while the stack size is 100,
but the input stack can hold enough.
- Added / updated sounds for biters, spitters, worm, spawner, flamethrower,
tank, lasers, etc.
- New ambient soundtrack added.
Added mechanism that prevents playing track that was played recently.
The ambient player alternates between neutral wind/environment sounds and
soundtrack songs.
- Mousing over a train will show you its current path and blocks it can't
enter.
- Locomotives now show the contents of attached cargo wagons in their tooltip.
- Trees regenerate health slowly.
- Added support for transferring contents/settings when fast-replacing all
entity types.
- Added modules to the alt-view for entities that support modules.
- Factorio can run as a dedicated server without graphics
(http://www.factorioforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Multiplayer#Headless_server).
- Basic PvP: New forces can now be created and merged back together; a cease-
fire can be agreed upon between forces
- IPv6 support for multiplayer.
- DNS names can be used when connecting to multiplayer game.
- Enabled mining trees/ghosts while holding blueprints to be built.
- Added explosive cannon shells.
- Building blueprints over existing ghosts restores the ghost time to live to
full.
Changes:
- Removed rocket defense entity.
- Items on transport belts don't go off the belt at the end, so the transport
belt has
to go directly in front of the required inserter.
- Reduced number of rendered Roboport connections.
- The trade in the marketplace only happens if the player can accept the trade
items.
- Inserters can now extract from Roboports and Beacons.
- Inserters now take items from right behind them, not from the center of the
pickup target entity.
- Copy entity settings mechanism now remembers only the last entity copied
from.
Also mechanism allows copy/paste across different entities of the same type
(i.e. assembling machine 1 -> assembling machine 2) and
from assembling machines to requester chests (sets filters to 2 x
requirements of the assembling machine).
- Trees have generally smaller bounding boxes, so it is easier to walk through
forest.
- Power armor modules generate and consume 100 times more power in order to be
able to charge construction robots.
- The construction robots don't build gate in the gap between the rolling stock
vehicles. They wait for the train to get away.
- Player's logistic filters are now remembered after respawn in multiplayer
- All turrets are now 4x4; laser turrets are 4x more expensive and powerful,
gun turrets are 2x more expensive
- Roboport tooltip now shows correct numbers of construction and logistic
robots separately.
- When a train loses a path and cannot find a new one, it stops immediately.
This prevents it from riding into parts of the rail network, from where it can't
find a path.
- Improvements to circuit network wire connection. You can connect multiple
wires of the same color to the same entity.
- The autosave dialog no longer cancels an active blueprint or deconstruction
planner selection if the mouse button is still held after the autosave finishes
- Number of autosave slots is now configurable through config.ini (no GUI).
Optimizations:
- Overall optimisation of train + belt heavy factories is roughly 66% compared
to 0.11,
this means that the game runs 3 times faster.
- Optimised the transport belt movement.
- Optimised the rotated bounding box collisions checks (trains).
- Optimised the smoke update.
- Optimised the solar panel, all the solar panel input is merged, so the count
doesn't matter.
- Optimised the accumulators by merging then into groups, where typical factory
has 1 group per network.
- Optimised the land mine activation mechanism.
- Smaller multiplayer heartbeat packet size.
- Optimised adding/removing of roboport, robots keep their tasks if they can.
- Path finder will terminate when search is too long. This avoids save
explosions (see https://forums.factorio.com/12580).
- Optimised rendering for large logistic networks.
- Fixed that the graphics were saved twice in the RAM memory.
Graphics:
- New graphics of the combat robots.

Fixed the problem of train occasionally loosing path when moving fast.
This also fixes the problems of mods with super fast trains.
Fixed that trains could occasionally leave block behind them blocked.
Fixed that trains could do huge detours when some block was blocked.
The pathfinding is based on penalties for blocked segments now.
For trains waiting in station, the more remaining time in the station, the
bigger penalty.
- Removing train station doesn't remove it from the train list.
If there are no stations with the given name, the station is shown as red in
the schedule.
Such station are skipped by the train until the station with the name appears
again.
- Fixed the way train was preferring non-blocked paths/stations.

t=7942)
- The default value of item in the logistic GUI is the count of one stack.
- Fixed crash when accessing logistic GUI that is opened directly in the save
game.
- Fixed that in the logistic GUI selecting already set request didn't work.
- Radar ignores chunks outside the map borders.
- Fixed (hopefully) the "unique_path: An Internal error occurred" problem.
- Fixed that the inserter was buildable on the top of underground belt.

- Fixed the "trying to make chunk at unreasonable position" bug related to
sending empty unit group somewhere from script.
Scripting:
- Fixed problems in the lua equipment grid interface:
.clear() no longer crashes, .move() works now, and .generator_energy reports
energy as a floating point value.
- Fixed that the rail directions were messed up when building rails from
script.
The mechanism, that changes the rail direction based on the position is still
used for manual building, to allow the user
to build diagonal rails without having to switch direction after every piece.

they were stopped and prepared
for deconstruction.
- Fixed that construction robots, when deconstructing splitters/belts to ground
didn't remove the items on these
the same way as on regular transport belts first. The result was random items
leftovers after deconstruction.
Optimizations:
- Reduced the cpu load caused by big count of inserters loading/unloading
transport belts.
Can reduce the update time on big factories by about 30%.
Scripting:
- Fixed various problems in the lua blueprint interface.
- All the entity specific settings that can be specified in blueprint creation
are now
specifiable also at entity creation like game.create_entity{name="wooden-
chest", bar=5, position = {0, 0}}
- Fixed the problems related to setting the blueprint icons from script.
Modding:
- Disabled adding empty string as prerequisite of technology.

Version: 0.11.1
Date: 31.10. 2014
Bugfixes:
- Removed test code leftover that artificially created desync every 20 seconds.
- Fixed the localisation errors.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------
Version: 0.11.0
Date: 31.10. 2014
Major Features:
- First version of the multiplayer.
Only co-op mode. Simplistic UI. Requires a public IP address for connecting
to.
Tested mostly on LAN. Replays of MP games don't work yet. Number of players
is not limited.
- Added gates, they open when friendly player comes by. Gates built on straight
rails become rail gates.
- Added a tank. It is way more durable than a car. It has its own set of
weapons.
- Added spitters. They are a next evolution step of biters with a ranged
(spitting) attack.
They are spawned in their own spawners (different mask color) but only after
evolution reaches 0.3.
Features:
- The console works as a chat tool by default now.
Ingame commands can be used, /w for whisper or /c for lua command (previous
functionality). For more type /help.
- Highlight of the items added into the inventory
- Randomized lights turning on and off during dawn and dusk
- Item entities are now deconstructable.
- Added a cancel deconstruction option to the deconstruction planner.
- Copy/paste entity settings (filters) for cargo wagons (like e.g. recipes for
assembling machines).
Bugfixes:
- Loads of determinism fixes, mainly for the multiplayer, but the replay
stability should improve a lot as well.
- When game speed is < 1 the GUI doesn't lag.
- Fixed crash when trying to connect trains in a situation that would result in
collision of the new train with other trains
- Fixed invalid directions in game.create_entity() crashing the game.
- Calling game.take_screenshot{} no longer crashes the game.
- Fixed that some entities weren't placeable in the map editor (worm corpses).
- Fixed incorrectly disabled New game -> Custom scenario -> Confirm button.
- Fixed that turret could be walked over when rebuilt until the game was
reloaded.
- Accidental building is now not possible when viewing the map.
- Compatibility fix of the new OS X Yosemite.
- Syntax error in script locale is now shown ingame, without closing the
program.
- Fixed crash when placing blueprints with wires over existing ghosts with
wires (https://forums.factorio.com/5966)
- Fixed the rail segment bug, when mod adds two same rails at the same
position.
Graphics:
- New player animation. Three levels depending on the armor. All with masks.
- Rail endings.
- Biters/Spitters/Spawners/Worms are now drawn using the same picture with
differently colored masks.
This allows making different color combinations of biters without rising the
video memory requirements.(Mods!)
- Blood splashes when units die are now procedural.
Balancing:
- Stone walls need research (just red science packs needed).
- Slower crafting (0.5s->10s) of solar panels and accumulators.
- Fast/Express splitter are made from the lower variants (same as with
transport belts/underground belts)
- Small electric pole can be used as fuel.
- Changed wood fuel value from (0.6MJ->2MJ), so 2X wood made from raw wood has
the same fuel value as the original raw wood.
Optimizations:
- Faster map drawing.
- Optimized main loop. The game will automatically skip rendering when it can't
keep up with expected updates per second.
LowFPS mode has been removed because this functionality fully replaces it (it
automatically lowers FPS when needed).
- Added Bitmap Memory Caching. This allows to store certain sprites classes
(defined by priority) in RAM and load them only when needed.
If your computer has little VRAM try setting "Bitmap Caching Level" (in
GraphicsSettings) to "very low".
This will keep the trains / player and enemies dying animations in RAM,
saving a lot of VRAM.
Changes:
- New physics for cars. Car now does very little damage when colliding.
- Disabled shooting from a vehicle (capsules can still be thrown).
Modding:
- Added phases to the mod loading. data.lua of all mods is loaded first, then
the data-updates.lua and the data-final-fixes.lua as last.
This allows mods to change the data of other mods without the need to be
last. This is used even in the base game, to add the
dust effect when a building is created, so the effect is added to mod
buildings as well.
- Every animation / sprite can now have a color tint.
- Every animation / sprite can have any number of "overlays" (see how player
masks work).
- Changed the frame_width/frame_height properties of animation to width/height
so it is the same as in sprite.
- Better specification for enemy spawner units (see biter-spawner for example).
- Furnace and assembling machine have been internally united. They the the same
animation and quite a few properties
(crafting_categories, energy_usage, crafting_speed, animation,
working_visualisations).
As a result Furnace can now have fluid boxes and use recipes with multiple
outputs (but not multiple inputs).
- Extended car prototypes to make tanks possible.
- Electric turret uses ammo_type directly from its attack_parameters.
- Attack parameters accept warmup field which defines the delay before the
effects take place (but animation and sound start playing instantly).
This is now used for spitter shooting animation only.
Scripting:
- Lua API for writing / reading player color (i.e. game.player.color = {r=0.7,
g=0.4, b=0.3})
- Fixed saving and loading references to LuaEntity and LuaItem prototypes.
- Fixed crash when calling game.set_tiles() with invalid parameters.
- Added New LuaFluidBox object to interact with liquids.
- Lua API for reading backer names of entities (and writing station-names).
- Expansion of get_circuit_condition-method; the returned table contains a new
key "fulfilled" which
indicates if condition is met.
- Expansion of get/set/clear-filter methods to allow access to cargo wagon
filters
- Changed onplayercrafted; it is now called for every item in the crafting
queue crafted
- Added new events:
on_robot_built_entity: passes entity built
on_robot_pre_mined: identical to on_preplayer_mined_item but called by robots
on_robot_mined: identical to on_player_mined_item
on_research_started: passes the research name
on_research_finished: passes the research finished
on_player_rotated_entity: passes the entity rotated
on_marked_for_deconstruction: passes the entity
on_canceled_deconstruction: passes the entity
on_trigger_created_entity: passes the entity created; only called if the
trigger creating the entity has been marked with "trigger_created_entity = true"
on_train_changed_state: passes the train
- Added show_entity_info parameter to take_screenshot.
- Function gettext was removed completely, localised strings are now specified
by the curly-brackets {"key", {"key-parameter"}, "literal parameter", 7}
- Added disconnect_neighbour: used with electric poles; takes the circuit
connector to disconnect - none to disconnect standard copper wire.
- Added ghost-related methods:
ghost_name read: the ghost entity name
ghost_localised_name read: the localised ghost entity name
ghost_type read: the ghost entity type
ghost_prototype read: the ghost entity prototype
time_to_live read/write: the number of ticks until the ghost dies
- Expanded direction and recipe to provide write access
- Expanded methods to support reading/writing from ghost entities:
(connect_neighbour, disconnect_neighbour, direction, get_circuit_condition,
set_circuit_condition,
clear_circuit_condition, orientation, rotateable, recipe, backer_name)
- Changed set_circuit_condition parameters to: {circuit = index, operator =
operator, name = name, count = count}
- Added Lua API for reading/writing information from special items (ammo,
armor, blueprints, tools)
- Added Lua API for reading/writing armor equipment and equipment grids
- Expanded methods for trains:
locomotives read: returns the locomotives for the train
state read: returns the current train state (train states are defined in
defines.trainstate)
- Lua objects can now be passed between scripts with remote.call().
If an invalid object is passed the destination interface receives nil in
place of the object.
- Added game.players[] - returns a table of the current players
- Expanded player-related methods to pass "player_index" of the player doing
the action. If there is no player (map editor) the "player_index" value will be
nil.
(on_picked_up_item, on_built_entity, on_player_mined_item,
on_preplayer_mined_item, on_player_createditem, onplayerrotatedetity)
- Added "player_index" read to LuaGuiElement

Version: 0.10.12
Date: 16.9. 2014
Bugfixes:
- Fixed that it wasn't possible to set a filter.
- Fixed that fast replacing moved items primary to character, it made upgrading
chests and machines not practical.
Instead, when fast replacing, the content is always transferred to the new
entity, when it can't fit, it transfers
to player, and if it can't be moved to the player as well it makes the good
old item bomb.
- The right ui container is slightly larger, so it can contain the roboport
info without enlarging.
- The worm turrets are not taken into consideration when deciding enemy
expansions.
- Fixed that enemy expansion candidates were not updated correctly when base
was destroyed.
- Fixed that combat robots were on the map/minimap.
- Fixed extra mouse buttons over GUI behavior
Balancing:
- The maximum distance for enemy expansion was increased from 5 to 7.
Scripting:
- makefile, take_screenshot and remove_path now use logger to report failures,
minor fixes in the path verification

destroyed afterwards (https://forums.factorio.com/5766).
- Fixed that the blueprint preview could go outside the window in some cases
- Fixed the crash when the selection window of filter slots of cargo wagon is
opened while the cargo wagon gets away (or id destroyed) and the
filter is selected. Now the crash doesn't occur and the window is closed
automatically (https://forums.factorio.com/5787).
- Show the logistic network areas when the deconstruction tool is in hand
- Fixed that the long entity names permanently enlarged the sidebar
- Fixed that downgrading container containing enough items to not fit into the
inventory resulted in both the new and old container on the same spot
- Fixed that wire connection isn't cleared when the wire is put away in god
mode (https://forums.factorio.com/5801&).
- Fixed that cursor for wire placing was inconsistent sometimes
(http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/posting.php?mode=reply&t=5802).

Version: 0.10.10
Date: 12.9. 2014
Bugfixes:
- Fixed that passive provider chest acted as active provider chest after game
load.
- Fixed that player turrets could be walked through after reconstructed.
- Fixed that the starting chest in sandbox mode didn't contain some of the
items in full stacks.
- Fixed that the pause game control reset itself to default after every
restart.
- Fixed wrong directory name inside save (it was "currently-saving", now it is
the same as the save name).
- Fixed that map2scenario didn't copy locale and script state to the scenario.
- Fixed crash related to enemy pathfinding.
- Fixed wrongly reported amount of items the player got from mining
machines/containers (https://forums.factorio.com/5688).
- Fixed entity icons of defender/distractor/destroyer robots.
- Fixed that deconstructing transport-belt-to-ground would delete items they
held (https://forums.factorio.com/5667).
- Fixed that deconstructing inserters holding items would delete items they
held (https://forums.factorio.com/5636).
- The notifications of destroyed buildings are created only when someone other
than player (or his machines) destroys the building.
This affects player destroying his buildings manually and also land-mine
destroying itself on impact.
- Fixed that slightly more robots than needed could be send to empty provider
chest (https://forums.factorio.com/5613).
- When unresearching (using script) the toolbelt, the items that can't fit it
are inserted back into the player's inventory.
- Recipes changed by mod will be refreshed to original value automatically when
the mod is removed
- Fixed crash when opening save that contained mods that are not already
present.
Crash happened when the crafting menu was opened and the active crafting
group was added by the mod (so it is not present anymore).
- Fixed that items were moved into quickbar even when there was already stack
of that type in the quickbar (currently selected in hand)
- Fixed the missing check of gun->ammo compatibility when putting the gun there
using shift-click or when the gun was crafted.
- Fixed that the visualisation radius of throwables (the green circle) wasn't
visible when the player was in the vehicle.
- Fixed that the container's inventory didn't get sorted in case the container
couldn't be mined because all the items wouldn't fit the inventory.
- Fixed crash during enemy attack when the enemy unit was modded to attack by
destroying everything including itself. (https://forums.factorio.com/5727)
- Fixed that the player mined item event was not called when they got just part
of the inventory (https://forums.factorio.com/5608).
- Fixed that it wasn't possible to start fullscreen game in other than the
primary window. There is now settings in config in category [graphics] section:
preffered-screen-index. Changing the value changes the display adapter
(monitor) that is used. If many people use this feature in the future, we can put
it in the
graphics settings ingame as well (https://forums.factorio.com/5048).
- The number input box "consumes" only numeric input. Other keys for walking or
closing the window still work when the field is selected.
This is true as long as these are not mapped to numbers, bad luck in that
case (https://forums.factorio.com/5741)
- Fixed that actions made in the last tick before closing the scenario due to
error were applied again when different game was opened.
Debug:
- Added option to turn off vertical synchronisation of the display (v-sync).
- Fixed crash when starting game without config file.
Gui:
- Progress bar showing electricity availability is now colored. Green for all
required energy available, yellow, more than half, red less than half.
Modding:
- Progress bar style enables to specify different colors for different ranges
of values.
Scripting:
- Added game.get_chunks() iterator and game.is_chunk_generated(...) and
game.player.force.is_chunk_charted() methods.
- Pre player mined item event is called really before the player starts to get
items from the inventory.
Note that the change means, that the event is called even when the mine can
eventually fail
(not enough inventory to hold all the items). In the future, we might add an
event for when the entity is really going to be removed.

of items in some cases), the mining just fails, while player
gets as many items from the chest as possible.
- Fixed performance when cancelling large crafting queues and the player has no
room to hold the items.
This also fixes performance when a loot-enabled entity dies and drops a large
amount of loot.
- Fixed bug when sometimes rail segments were messed up by placing rail signals
from blueprint (https://forums.factorio.com/5350).

placed.
- Fixed bug when train was self-damaging when driving backwards at the end of
the rail (https://forums.factorio.com/5179).
This also fixes the resulting crash when the wagon was destroyed.
- Fixed bug when train with 2 locomotives with opposite directions was not
moving backwards when first locomotive had no coal.
- Fixed that laser turrets were not working when built near chunk boundaries
- Saving the crc in the replay only once per second, so the replay (and save)

- Fixed that the beacon rotating animation was sometimes drawn under the beacon
- Fixed bug where placing assembling machine over assembling machine of the
same type could result in repetitive placing
- Fixed the problem with deconstruction of transport belt with inserter (or
something other) putting items on it (https://forums.factorio.com/3090)
- Fixed that logistic robots were confused when inserting into storage with
damaged items (https://forums.factorio.com/5326).
- Fixed that construction/logistic robots inside a network that was removed
weren't re-assigned to the closest logistic network.
- The created effect of entities is not applied in map editor, to avoid too
much frozen smoke particles at the same time that slows the render.
- Worms don't collide with the world during the dying animation
- Worms don't show health bar and don't regenerate health during the dying
animation.
- Fixed scrolling with sliders in game (https://forums.factorio.com/5392).
- Fixed bug when some controls didn't work with mouse over the GUI
Now they work just fine unless there is a GUI action (i.e. crafting,
transfer) with the same binding.
- Fixed extremely low placement probabilities of worms.
- Fixed resetting key bindings when changing keyboard layouts
- Fixed bug when using deconstruction tool broke the replay
- Fixed that pausing the game closed the opened GUI
- Fixed that setting more than 65535 value in the logistics request GUI didn't
work properly.
- Fixed that the number in the logistic GUI wasn't set to 0 when the slot was
cleared (https://forums.factorio.com/5565).
- Map map2scenario reports errors correctly instead of crashing.
- Using map2scenario no longer resets researched technologies and unlocked
recipes.
- Migrations are applied even when using map2scenario.
- Fixed bug when blueprints were "looting" the items from transport belt to
grounds (https://forums.factorio.com/5587).
Debug:
- Added show_active_chunks debug option, shows which chunks are active on the
big map.
Scripting:
- Fixed that can_insert method ignored set filters
- Fixed that LuaForce:reset didn't reset all the force modifiers
Namely: inserter stack size bonus, logistic slots, quickBarCount,
followingRobotsCount, ghost time to live.

- Old save file is not overwritten when saving fails
- Fast replacing assembling machine keeps the direction of the original
assembling machine. This is because the common scenario here is to upgrade
the assembling machine, rather than use it to change direction of existing
machines (https://forums.factorio.com/5239).
- Allowed to check placeability of item on ground from script as long as the
item is specified (https://forums.factorio.com/5238).

- Fixed crash when a cargo wagon is placed in the map editor
Changes:
- Mod zip package and folder should follow the pattern <Mod name>_<Mod version>
- Slightly smaller bounding box for the steam engine

provider has biggest priority, then storage and the last one is passive
provider.
This is to avoid uncontrolled filling of storage chests from the leftovers.

slowdown capsule (doesn't work on buildings), combat robot
capsules (spawns robot(s) that fight the enemies)
Features:
- Enemies wander around their base when they have nothing to do.
- Enemies call for help when attacked.
- Added upgrades (research) for all types of ammo and for laser turrets as
well.
- The player movement is slower when they are shooting (differs per weapon).
- Weapons have different damage types, entities have different resistances.
- Added production statistics similar to the electricity statistics. (on the P
key by default)
- "Shift-build" - when building with shift the settings of the last built
entity of that type are applied.
This works for assembling machine, smart/logistics chest and inserter,
includes circuit network wiring and internal settings.
- Laboratories and mining drills are module compatible.
- Logistic robots try to not mix different items in storage chests if possible.
- Placing resources now uses the "autoplace" mechanism as well (see lua data
files).
- Better labeling of map generation parameters (swapped frequency and size),
frequency and size are less dependent on each other.
- Automatic updates can use proxy server.
Gui:
- Extended tips and tricks.
- Mark missing elemental ingredients in the recipe tooltip as red.
- Show cooldown of weapons/usable items in the slot.
- Debug settings can be changed in game (F4 triggers the GUI).

inserters are transformed into smart inserters.
- Land mine has bigger damage radius and trigger.
- Enemies can destroy all player creations they find (not only labs, turrets,
logistic robots, train and player as it was now)
- Long hand inserter puts the item into the distance 2 (instead of 1).
- Decreased the car health from 2000 to 500, laser from 350 to 250.
- Increased the wall health bar from 200 to 350 and increased health of most of
the player structures.
- Enemy spawners and turrets slowly regenerate health.
- Electric pole connects to all poles in the reach with no common neighbour.
The limit of 5 connection per pole stays.
Building electric poles with shift pressed builds it without any connections.
Bugfixes:
- Straight belt pushes items from the center to one of the sides, so randomly
inserted items on belt
shouldn't get stuck in the U turns.
- Indestructible objects are now handled properly in the path finding.
- Fix of game being very slow with lots of logistic robots with no place to put
items (no free storage chests).
- Fixed several critical bugs in the map editor.
- Fixed of confused logistic system when rebuilding logistic chests
- Shortened number format works properly for large negative numbers.
- Fixed script crashes when using god mode in freeplay.
- Fixed armor relative protection (It was inversed and 10% protection made 90%
instead)

player received
items from logistic robots or dropped item on ground.
- Fixed sharp edges in new maps.
- Fixed crash when player hovers ammo placed in quickbar.
- Fixed bug of losing bonus production in furnace/assembling machine when the
output slot is full (the production will stop instead).
- Item tooltip is updated when the item on selected slot changes and closed
when the slot is cleared.
Optimizations:
- Mining drills deactivate when the resources run out.
- Speedups in the path finding (though path finding around very big lakes is
still slow).
- Speedups in enemy movement.
Scripting:
- Fixed lua GUI element#isvalid function, it threw error when the element was
invalid.
- Added lua object for entity/item prototype. All prototypes can be acquired by
game.(entity/item)prototypes.
- Added (readonly now) way to access tiles by game.get_tile(x.y) (provides name
property and collides_with method)
- getenergy method additionally works for Lamp, Lab, Electric turret,
Accumulator, Car, Locomotive and Solar panel.
- The on_chunk_generated event is now called for all chunks, even for the
starting area and for chunks created in map editor.
Modding:
- Result of shooting, projectiles, capsules and items used in general, is now
specified by our small but powerful effect framework.
- Added way to migrate/rename entity/item prototypes.
- Introduced moddable game wide map settings in data/base/prototypes/map-
settings.lua.

although, the
GUI interface should be upgraded. (Price is not shown in the tooltip, and is

Version: 0.3.0
Date: 29.3. 2013
Major Features:
- Added walls. (Walls are made from stone bricks, these are created from stone
in the furnace.)
Features:
- Game updates are using timer event. The program keeps 60 game updates even
with FPS < 60 or FPS > 60.
The "catchup rate" is configurable. When the FPS drops very low this stops
having the effect.
- Storing console history in the player data.
Graphics:
- New tree graphics (8 dry trees 12 big trees)
- New inserter graphics
- New laser turret and gun turret graphics
- Bullet particles for gun turret
- New solar panel graphics
- Lighter stone furnace graphics

Bugfixes:
- Fixed crash when restarting the game with technology GUI opened.
- Fixed crafting queue properties when saved during crafting.
- Fixed laser turret not consuming energy in idle state.
- Splitter has maximum memory of 5 items when forced to send items on one side
because the other one is blocked.
This means that when left is block for a long time, and then both are free,
the right will get mostly 5 items
before it is split 1:1 again.
- Fixed that the electric pole has the same orientation all the time
(regardless connections)
Gui:
- Removed the text length limit from the input console.
- Wrapping of the console text in the game.
Modding:
- Mods are self sustainable folders now. They contain the prototype
definitions, graphics, sounds, locale, scenarios or campaigns.
- Mods Gui in the game to enable / disable mods and change their ordering.
- The default game contents is treated as a mod (called base).
- Prototype definitions are generated by Lua scripts (no json anymore). Mods
can manipulate the definitions from previous mods.
- Mods can have control.lua script that supplements / changes the behavior of
the default scenario script.
- Multiple running scripts (from the mods) can communicate with each other
using interfaces.
- General furnace energy source specification in json (so it can be electric)
- Started to use the name of the recipe, this allows different recipes for the
same product.
Having different recipes for the same product for player crafting is not
tested (regarding the auto crafting)
- Translation files are merged properly.
- Default English fallback for translations.
Scripting:
- Simple way to add GUI elements using script.
- Divided the player and its character, some functions that are not directly
connected with the character (goal description, printing etc)
are accessible from the player object, the rest from the character.
The access to character is game.player.character
- The migration script runs before the control.lua is loaded and can be used to
reload scripts from the original scenario
this is used to solve the issue of incompatible scripts in the save game.
- Merged onunitdied and onplayerdied to on_entity_died
- Check for positive addition in the LuaInventory::insert method
- Added LuaInventory::remove method
- Added LuaInventory::get_contents method
- Simpler access to player from game object (game.player instead of
game.get_player())
- Added LuaRecipe::reload method
- Added force parameter in create_entity so player can specify the owner of the
created entity (was always enemy now)
- Added way to change force of entity and damage entity (damaging is different
then sethealth).
- Position doesn't need to be in format {x = 34, y = 7}, the format {34 ,7}
works as well, the
same with bounding box.
- Added simple interface for the Freeplay that allows manipulating the attacks
from mod scripts.
- Scripts receive only events they have subscribed to.
- Scripts can emit their own events (for instance Freeplay emits an event
whenever it starts the attack).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------
Version: 0.2.10
Date: 3.3. 2013
Bugfixes:
- Repaired the not minable lab/turret bug.
