0.17.38

Date: 10.05.2019

Changes

When a train performs path finding while in a chain signal sequence, the pathfinding will have a constraint to not go through reserved block before exiting the chain sequence.

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. (more) (more)

Enter key will be shown as "ENTER" instead of "RETURN" on Windows and Linux. (more)
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.

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. (more)

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.

Reworked the Map Editor so it's now part of the standard game and can be toggled at will using the '/editor' command.
Support for mod synchronisation when joining multiplayer game. Works as long as the used mods are on the mod portal.
Fight changes. Enemy projectiles are dodgeable and slowdown/damage the target over time. They also leave splashes on ground that have the same effect.
Rich text tags. These tags can be used almost anywhere: Chat, station names, save names, custom ui and probably a few places we didn't think of.
- They allow changing color, font, images and location/blueprint/armor/station/locomotive linking through chat. (More in features)
Fluid mixing prevention. Actions that fail as they would lead to fluid mixing (like building a pipe, changing recipe, rotating etc.) produce an error message as flying text.

Features

Trains can be blueprinted and deconstructed.
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+CXtYr3T4gdMEvjHUBBDllqgelVQrYJVdqnE/br+eVaBM1ITb0bnQvNMwTc8YzPOhiZ0YTpI5oUp78BL33YnmbY/l/IBb4pSQQ==].
- These tags also work with deconstruction and upgrade planners.
Map ping tags: Created by shift-clicking the ground/map when the chat is open. Format is [gps=x,y], eg [gps=10,30] will show a map ping in all players maps at location 10,30.
- Clicking the icon in chat will open the map on the specified location.
Font tags: Format is [font=debug-mono]mono text[/font].
Color tags: Format is [color=1,0,0]red text[/font]
Fast replacing pipes by pipes to ground similar to underground belts.

When selecting any item to the cursor from some of the player inventories. As long as the item is being held, hand icon is shown on the slot it was taken from. The hand prevents any other item to be inserted into the slot as long as the player cursor isn't cleared.
When holding radar in cursor, area covered by existing radars is also highlighted on minimap.
Configurable (in gui), the count of rolling stocks shown in the train visualization.
Added two levels of shallow water tiles (only placed by map editor, not generated). Enemies and vehicles can travel over shallow water.

- Other screens than the mentioned ones (more than 100) have inconsistencies 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)

Optimisations

Modernized and optimized rendering backend. The game now uses DirectX 11 or 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.

Optimized rendering of logistic overlay when zoomed in to map. (more)
Optimized rendering of turret ranges when zoomed in to map. (more)

Changes

- 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 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.
New map terrain type selectable: Island. Launch the rocket with only a limited amount of resources available on the map.

Increased player reach from 6 to 10.
Inserters are putting science packs to the lab even when there is no research in progress or when the research doesn't need that particular pack.
Default_request_amount removed in all places where it was used. Default logistic request is 1 stack, unless changed by the setting "Default request is 1".
All personal equipment stack sizes changed to 20.
Placing a tile will now clear any tile ghosts at that position. (more)
It is allowed to use unicode characters in save names.
Recipes that have more ingredients than the assembling machine allows are now shown as red instead of not present when selecting the recipe.
When the "Made in" row is shown in the recipe tooltip, player icon is added 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.
Increased maximum train stop length from 50 to 100 characters so it can fit at least 3 tags in most cases.
Items consumed by hand crafting are counted in item production statistics.
Added --disable-migration-window command-line option to disable the "migrated content" gui.
Removed tile properties debug overlay.
Command-line map preview generator now shows biter nests.
Items sent in a rocket are counted in item production statistics. (more)

Removed Wood from the game (And raw wood renamed to Wood).
Added rotation smoothing to biters.
Chests and wooden power poles are no longer usable as fuel.
Burner efficiency is set to 100% for all entities and fuel value is halved to 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.

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.
