=== 0.12.11 ===


==== Features ====
== Specific version navigation ==
* 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 eaiser to find when reporting the bug.
* The "graphics.force*opengl" option default value is true when AMD Graphics card is present.


==== Bug Fixes ====
{{VersionNav}}
* Fixed that multiple electric networks connected to a solar panel could be exploited to generate more energy. (https://forums.factorio.com/16778) The energy of the solar panel is now fractioned between all the networks it is connected to.
[[Category:Version history]]
* Fixed character entities disconnected from players not working correctly when in vehicles. (https://forums.factorio.com/16812)
* Fixed small*pump and offshore*pump not saving/restoring circuit conditions in LuaItemStack::get_blueprint_entities/set_blueprint_entities. (https://forums.factorio.com/16715)
* Fixed threading issue when loading games. (https://forums.factorio.com/16808)
* Fixed OS X Finder argument crashing the game on startup (https://forums.factorio.com/16719).
* Burner inserter now grabs fuel for itself even if the target doesn't need it.
* Fixed active sound playing on machines without power (https://forums.factorio.com/16754).
* Fixed empty unit groups crashing the game (https://forums.factorio.com/16371).
* Fixed crash when building locomotives in latency hiding.
* Fixed cannot load save with modded rails when a rail mod is disabled (will work only on 0.12.11+ saves) (https://forums.factorio.com/16834).
* Fixed crash when setting filters in the tank/car while riding in them. (https://forums.factorio.com/16910)
* Fixed crash when migrating/removing entities marked for deconstruction. (https://forums.factorio.com/16726)
* Removed one possible logical deadlock in the tutorial. (https://forums.factorio.com/16980)
* 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: https://forums.factorio.com/16541
* 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.

==== 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 (https://www.factorio.com/blog/post/fff*88)
* The Lamp, Storage Tank, Small Pump and Offshore Pump can be connected to the circuit network.
* 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).
* 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 ====
* Disabled loading of saves before 0.9.0 version (You can use 0.9.8 to load older saves and re*save them).
* 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 contruction 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.

==== Bug Fixes ====
* Fixed problems with inserters taking from diagonal wagons.
* Fixed several train related bugs and issues, mainly:
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 occasionaly 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.
* Fixed that diagonal parallel curve blocks both tracks. (https://forums.factorio.com/7865)
* Partial fix of the constant micro*freezes/frame drops.
* Fixed problems with inserters not putting items on belts to ground.
* Fixed crash when MP game is refused by the host.
* Update doesn't require UAC approval, when the zip package version is used.
* Fixed some of the technology prerequisites.

* 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. (https://forums.factorio.com/7943)
* Radar ignores chunks outside the map borders. (https://forums.factorio.com/7604)
* Fixed (hopefully) the "unique_path: An Internal error occurred" problem.
* Fixed that the inserter was buildable on the top of underground belt.
* Fixed that the electric pole was buildable so close to the curved rail that it would be destroyed by the train.
* Fixed that the electric network for power armor was ran twice per game tick
* 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() nolonger 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.

* 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}}

=== 0.11.2 ===
 
==== Features ====
* Mods that don't affect game state are not needed to be synchronised when playing multiplayer game or replaying game. This mainly solves the problem of multiplayer games where some of the people had scenario pack mod and some hadn't.
==== Graphics ====
* New graphics of construction and logistic robots.

|| 0.11.0 || Okt. 31, 2014 ||
=== 0.11.0 ===
 
==== 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 evoluton 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.
* 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 (http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3189)
* Randomized lights turning on and off during dawn and dusk (http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3493)
* Item entities are now de-constructable.
* Added a cancel deconstruction option to the deconstruction planner.
* Copy/paste entitysettings (filters) for cargowagons (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 (http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5853).
* 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 placable 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 (http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=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 2Xwood made from raw wood has the same fuel value as the original raw wood.
==== Optimisations ====
* 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 ====
* Disabled loading of saves before 0.7.0 version (You can use 0.7.5 to load older saves and re-save them).
* 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 cargowagon 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 recives 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

==== 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.

'''There is a problem with numbers/enter hotkeys that can be randomly disabled for the whole game.
 
==== Bugfixes ====
* Fixed that passive provider chest acted as active provider chest after game load.
* Fixed that player turrets could be walked through after reconstructed. (http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=5618).
* 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 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 of wrongly reported amount of items the player got from mining machines/containers (http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5688).
* Fixed entity icons of defender/distractor/destroyer robots.
* Fixed that deconstructing transport-belt-to-ground would delete items they held (http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5667).
* Fixed that deconstructing inserters holding items would delete items they held (http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5636).
* The notifications of destroyed buildings are created only when someone other than player (or his machines) destroyed 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 (http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5613).
* When unresearching (using script) the toolbelt, the items that can't fit it are inserted back into the player's inventory (http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5659).
* Recipes changed by mods will be refreshed to original value automatically when mod is removed (http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5676).
* Fixed crash, when opening save that contained mods that are not already present, that had the active crafting group selected to group presented by the mod (so it is not present anymore), the crash occured when the crafting menu was opened.
* Fixed that items were moved into quickbar even when there was already stack of the type in quickbar (currently selected in hand) (http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5661)
* Fixed the missing check of gun->ammo compatibility when putting the gun there using shift-click or when the gun was crafted (http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/posting.php?mode=reply&f=7&t=5682).
* Fixed that the visualisation radius of throwables (the green circle) wasn't visible when the player was in vehicle (http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5595).
* Fixed that the inventory didn't get sorted after the container couldn't be mined as all the items couldn't fit the inventory (http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?=5614).
* Fixed that when enemy unit was modded to attack by destroying everything including itself crashed the game (http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5727)
* Fixed that the player mined item event was not called when he got just part of the inventory (http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=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 (http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5048).
* The number input box "consumes" only numeric input, other keys for walking or closing the still works when the field is selected. This is true as long as these are not mapped to numbers, bad luck in that case (http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5741)

==== Modding ====
* Progress bar style enables to specify different colors for different ranges of values.
==== Scripting ====
* Added game.getchunks() iterator and game.ischunkgenerated(...) and game.player.force.ischunkcharted() 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). This means, that there might we could also other some other event, that will be called only when the entity is really going to be removed.

Instead of dropping all the items on the ground around (which could be A LOT 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 (http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=5350). Also blueprint which would place two signals next two each other cannot be placed.
* Fixed bug when train was self-damaging when driving backwards at the end of the rail (http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=5179). This also fixes the resulting crash when the wagon was destroyed.

* Fixed that laser turrets were not working when built near chunk boundaries (http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=5362).
* Saving the crc in the replay only once per second, so the replay (and save) size shouldn't grow so fast.
* Fixed that the beacon rotating animation was sometimes drawn under the beacon (http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=5431).
* Fixed bug where placing assembling machine over assembling machine of the same type could result into repetitve placing (http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/posting.php?mode=reply&f=7&t=5479).

* Fixed that construction/logistic robots inside a network that was removed weren't re-assigned to the closest logistic network (http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3088).
* The created effect of entities is not applied in map editor, to avoid too much freezed smoke particles at the same time that slows the render (http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=5492).
* Worms don't collide with the world during the dying animation (http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5409).
* Worms don't show healthbar and don't regenerate health during the dying animation.
* Fixed scrolling with sliders in game (http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=5392).
* Fixed bug when some controls didn't work with mouse over the gui (http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=5130) 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 (http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=5192)
* Fixed bug when using deconstruction tool broke the replay (http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=5570&p=42998#p42998).
* Fixed that pausing the game closed the opened gui (http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5563)
* 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 (http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=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 (http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=5587).
==== Debugging ====
* Added show_active_chunks debug option, shows which chunks are active on the big map.
==== Scripting ====
* Fixed that caninsert method ignored set filters (http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=5477).
* Fixed that LuaForce:reset didn't reset all the force modifiers. Namely: inserter stack size bonus, logistic slots, quickBarCount, followingRobotsCount, ghost time to live.

There was a serious bug (http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=5383) when saving on windows didn't work (and many people wanted to do that). So we have released the hotfix version: http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=5386.'''

* Old save file is not overwritten when saving fails (http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=5354).
* Fast replacing assembling machine keeps the direction of the original assembling machine. This is beacuse the common scenario here is to upgrade the assembling machine, rather than use it to change direction of existing machines (http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=5239).
* Allowed to check placebility of item on ground from script as long as the item is specified (http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=5238).

=== 0.10.2 ===
 
Another (mostly) bugfix release, most of the critical bugs should be resolved, but it is still not a release candidate as there are still obvious bugs in our bug reports.
 
'''The automatic update system was messed up in the 0.10.0 and 0.10.1. As a result now it is working only partially: OSX, Linux for 0.10.1 -> 0.10.2 should work, the rest is downloadable from http://www.factorio.com/download/experimental as full package.
 
==== Bugfixes ====
* Fixed the crash when opening save with active replay saving.
* Fixed crash when smart inserter with logistic condition was rebuilt.
* Fixed leak in path finding that was causing huge saves(http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=4562&p=34339#p34339).
* Fixed that splitter was buildable over transport belt to ground (and vice versa).
* Fixed crash when renaming OSX application name.
* Rotation of turrets doesn't play role when deciding if the part of the overlapping blueprint doesn't collide. Rotation of other entities like belts, inserters etc. still matters.
* Fixed that the underground belt cover did have the same graphics regardless if it was input or output.
* Fixed that the underground belt direction when building to be connected with different underground didn't have the preview direction correct (both in blueprint and manual building).
* Fixed wrong blueprint positioning when it contained rail/stations and was created just from ghost entities.
* Fixed crash when showing tooltip of construction material warning for unbuildable entities.

* Not showing energy for flying robots that don't use energy (combat robots).
* Fixed corrupted save problem that occurred when the player had follower robots active, was in a car that had blueprint with roboport in the trunk. Saves corrupted this way from earlier versions are not loadable.
=== Changes ===
* Changed the prioritization of resupplying source of logistic robots. 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.
=== Graphics ===
* More realistic train light drawing (light cone in the front, red light in the back).
=== Balancing ===
* Wall repair speed is twice the fast.
=== Translations ===
* Added Catalan translation.

|| 0.10.0 || June 06, 2014 ||
=== 0.10.0 ===
 
==== Beware of the trailer mod ====
 
The trailer mod changes the game properties significantly. If you have it enabled it can cause some very strange behavior in your existing games (different recipes, different consumptions, different speeds of vehicles, etc.). Use it only to preview the trailer scenario!
 
==== Features ====
* Environment sounds. Active machines close to the player create a small factory orchestra.
* Proper volume settings for master volume / effects volume / etc.
* Map generation string - stores seed and settings for sharing map conditions.
* Clipboard copy & paste (useful for map generation string, updater username, updater password).
* Station names can be changed in the train stop gui.
* Burner inserter will use item with fuel value for itself when it has empty inventory.
* Logistic and Construction robots slowdown to 20% of regular speed when out of energy (instead of dying).
* Flying text indication for items collected while placing a building (for instance a rotated transport belt).
* Cargo wagon can have filters in the inventory.
* Blueprints copy circuit network connections.
* Updater can now detect some problems caused by firewalls.
==== Graphics ====
* Dust effects when building is placed.
* Added new doodads for dead desert (dead trees, dead trunks, stones, grey grass, etc.)
* Different inserter hand drawing logic (now including hand shadows).
* New icons (circuits, steel, copper plate, inserters, etc.)
* Puff of smoke when locomotive stops.
* New steam engine graphics.
* New radar graphics.
==== Gui ====
* Proper research unit tooltip in the laboratory gui.
* Save game gui tweaks (Enter key in text field saves game, text field starts with focus)
* Scenario message dialog resizes when the image is too big.
* Whole language name in locale dropdown.
* Slots with filter have a blue background (both in quickbar and in cargo wagon).
* Highlighted item in inventory (when hovering over corresponding recipe) is blinking.
* More polished loading screen.
==== Sound ====
* Working sounds for most of the machines (inserters, assemblers, furnaces, steam engines, labs, etc.).
* Sound effects for car and trains.
==== Changes ====
* Disabled loading of saves before 0.6.0 version (You can use 0.6.4 to load any old saves and re-save them).

* Backer names are used for Locomotives, Roboports and Radadars.
==== Optimisations ====
* Parallelised map generation, the hiccups when new part of map is generated should be smaller or non-existent.
* Reduced the saving time (autosave included).
* One very long path search will not block path finder for others. This should fix a bug with stuck biters.
==== Bugfixes ====
* Fixed that inserters had switched the closed/open hand pictures.
* Load game dialog scrolls to the selected item (that can be off screen).
* When there are more items than 4 in the entity info (i.e. smart inserter filters), the first 4 are shown.
* Limited (and sorted) the amount of items in the finished game gui.

=== 0.9.4 ===
 
==== Known issues ====
''' If you are using Dytech mod you will need to download the new version, otherwise the game won't even start. This is due to the change of provider chest to active provider chest.

|| 0.9.1 || February 21, 2014 ||
 
=== 0.9.1 ===
==== The hotfix mod ====
There are two bugs in the 0.9.1 that can make the game pretty much unplayable for some people. These are: the fast and express underground belts are not working properly ( http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=2511 ), the crude oil barrels cannot be emptied(http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=2484 ). These will be fixed for the 0.9.2 however since they both can be fixed by changing the factorio data files we have made a small hotfix that solves the issue for now. However this hotfix doesn't solve the bug when transport belts to ground can be built one on top of each other (and so they get blocked as well).
 
'''The hotfix can be downloaded from here: http://bit.ly/MPExrq - It is basically a tiny factorio mod so just copy the zip file to your mods directory and you should be good to go.
 
==== Known issues ====
* Existing saves might take a while (10-30 seconds) to load depending on the size. This is because of the adding-new-doodads migration.
* Basic campaign and scenario pack are still broken.
 
==== Features ====
* Tooltip with info of the armor equipment.
* Capsules can be used in god mode now.
 
==== Bugfixes =====
* Fixed bug when blueprint in the second quickbar would corrupt the save (already corrupted saves can be loaded again).
* Fixed bug where unloadable save was made when blueprint containing roboport/armor was as item on ground/held by inserter.
* Fixed save loading bug when oil refinery/chemical plant with reset recipe was saved.
* Fixed bug with stuck inserter when putting sulfur into chemical plant producing sulfur acid in some cases.
* Structures now get repaired even when they are in the bigger (construction) distance from roboport.
* Fixed that the alert icons weren't visible after resize in some cases.
* Fixed that steam engine rotation was wrong in rotated blueprint.
* Fixed double info in item tooltip.
* Oil processing shows oil-refinery in "made in".
* Fixed the burner inserter/locomotive energy consumption.
* Fluid input to chemical plant/refinery is limited to twice the amount in the recipe.
* Chemical plant and oil refinery accept modules.
* Fixed bugs in the automatic connection of rolling stock when being built.
* Updated migration to enable explosives recipe when explosives are researched.
* Fixed bug in assembling machine fast replace.
* Fluid inputs for chemical plant/oil refinery are now saved properly.
* Requester chest now starts working as expected after settings (filters) are copied.
* Logistic condition is now copied as well for smart inserter.
* Assembling recipe machine tooltip takes fluid amounts into consideration.
* Fixed not visible recipes when item groups are turned off (Forced in the tutorial campaign).
* Fixed leftovers of enemies on the map when they were moving.
* Fixed crash when wrong settiles command arguments were given.
* Fixed stuck construction robots with cargo to be returned.
* Fixed that some of the productivity modules had x.9 values instead of x+1
* Fixed, that the storage tank connection to pipe wasn't refreshed when it was rotated.
* Fixed that canceling crafting didn't reset the crafting time spent.
* Show energy consumption for the exoskeleton and night vision equipment in the tooltip.
* Show dimensions of equipment in the tooltip.
* Fixed the help message to open armor to be connected with the correct control (split stack).
* Fixed crash when generating map under some circumstances.
* Updated the map generation gui to be more responsive to water settings.
* Fixed crash when throwing capsules in the God mode.
* Fixed crash when technology window is displayed over logistic condition window.
* Config file is saved as early as possible to avoid problems with switching to low graphics mode.
 
==== Changes ====
* Merged the second quickbar (researched by toolbelt) with the main quickbar (now it has 2 rows). The keyboard shortcuts apply to the top row. Rows can be rotated by a button or keyboard shortcut (default X).
* Fixed transport belt to ground collision boxes, so they are more inserter friendly. It is even possible to insert into it.
* Less controls in the new game dialog.
* One of the two connected pipes to ground next to each other shows icon of fluid inside.
* Very small quantities of fluid can be pushed away / destroyed by another fluid in the neighboring pipe. This helps for instance in situations with tiny fluid leftovers after pumping.
* More doodads in the maps.
* Finished crafing sound (tsss) is played only when a full non-intermediate recipe stack finishes crafting.
 
==== Balancing ====
* Merged oil gathering and oil processing into one technology.
* Barrel costs just 1 steel plate instead of 2 and can hold 25 litres of crude oil.
* Added cracking recipes (heavy oil to light oil and light oil to petroleum gas).
* Storage tank has 2.5 times bigger capacity (2500 litres) and takes longer to mine.
* Increased basic-grenade splash area by 30%.
* Smaller probabilities for spawning big worms close to the starting area.
* Slightly more coal is generated.

|| 0.9.0 || February 14, 2014 ||
=== 0.9.0 ===
 
==== Known issues! ====
* Although we were able to spend some time with testing, so the most frequent bugs should be solved, we are quite sure there are more to be found. We altered almost every aspect of the game.
* We also didn't have time to clear all the problems specified in the Bug reports thread (we solved just those that were most simple to solve for now)
* Basic campaign and scenario pack are broken as new recipes and technologies are needed and not enabled in these.
* Only a subset of the doodads is integrated into the world generation.
* Saving a game with blueprint in second quick bar will result in a corrupted save. So please avoid having blueprints in the second quick bar. This will be fixed in the 0.9.1 and the already corrupted saves will be loadable again.

* Blueprints. Blueprint item allows the player to select the area that will be copied into the item. The player can customise the icons that will represent the blueprint. While building blueprints, player can rotate these, and they can also overlap with existing entities as long as they match.
* Deconstruction tool. Allows player to order construction robots to deconstruct buildings in the selected area. When the buildings contain items (chests, transport belts etc.) construction robots first move these items out of it and place it into the logistics network.
* Oil industry. Pumpjacks mine the crude oil from the oil spills. Oil refinery processes the crude oil to oil fractions. Chemical plant processes the oil fractions to useful products.
* Added fluid storage tank.
*  Added electric onshore pump (can speed up the fluid or push the fluid against the slope).
* Biomes. Gives more variation to the nature, tends to generate similar types of vegetation close together.
* Logistic network condition for smart inserters. Takes the sum of all items in storage/provider chests into consideration.
* Recipe gui contains even recipes not craftable by player (their tooltip shows machines where they can be crafted).
* Copying entity settings (replaces the old shift build functionality). Shift + left click sets the selected entity as a copy source, shift + right click applies the settings to selected entity.
* Ghost buildings can be built (shift + right click) and mined individually.
* Saves directory can contain custom sub directories. Added delete save button.
* Game saves and mods are read / written natively to the zip files.
* CTRL in the textfields including dev console (CTRL + left/right = jump word, CTRL + backspace = delete word, CTRL + up/down = home/end).
* Roboports have separate logistic radius (now 25) and construction radius (now 50).
* Player gets separate warning icon when building is destroyed.
* Warning icons tooltip shows list of entities that are under attack/destroyed/attacking.
* Highlight inventory slots that contains results of the recipe the player already have when he is hovering the recipe slot.
* Added / updated sounds for player actions (building, mining buildings, crafting, inventory move, gui click, etc.)
* Optional ordering of items sub-categories into individual lines in the crafting window.
 
====    Graphics ====
* New pipes graphics.
* All not connected pipe connections have ending visualisation.
* New 10 types of trees that replace the outdated 2 types.

* Roboports visualization density adds up only to a limit.
* Pipes show the fluid inside in the alt mode.
* Only every second pipe in the row has the window.
* Nicer rail diagonals/turns on minimap.
 
====    Optimisations ====
* Optimisation of the logistic network update - slow performance with many robots with cargo and no place to put it.
* Optimisation of the electric network update by the factor of 5.
* Optimisation of inserters update, inserters that have nothing to do are set to sleep and woke up when their target/source changes.
* Turrets don't search for enemies when there are no enemies nearby.
* Logistic network doesn't go through empty provider chests/satisfied requester chests any more, so they don't slow down the update.
* Only chunks with changes are recharted, so the limit of 2 recharted chunks per ticks is applied only on chunk that actually changed, this allows to have much higher areas covered by radars.
* Optimisation of the building electric poles by dragging (It could get slow for big networks).
* Small optimisation of transport belt movement.
 
====    Balancing ====
* Changed many existing recipes (science pack 2, science pack 3, advanced circuit, laser turret, car, diesel locomotive, logistic and construction robots, rocket, flamethrower ammo, defender capsules, most of the armor equipment, etc.)
* Nerfed down productivity modules. Best module productivity bonus changed: 15->10, it has slow down factor, and its usage in assembling machines is limited to intermediate products.
* Slightly more stone in the world.
* Pipe to ground is made in pairs and is more expensive.
* Fast/Express transport belt to ground is made from Basic/Fast transport belt to ground + gears so it can be upgraded.
* Character logistic slots technology needs only red and green science packs.
* Rail signals don't collide with player/car so it can run/walk over it.
* Halfed the radar electricity consumption.
 
====    Changes ====
* Multiplied all energy values by the factor of 1000.
* Optimised pipe/asembling machine/chest bounding boxes, so they obstruct the movement less.
* The green color of night vision visualisation is less dense.
* Configurable key mapping for lua console, "/" key no longer opens the console by default.
* ESC (by default) closes the windows in the game as well.
* Capsules (including the fish) are used by build action when they are in the cursor
* By default the left mouse key builds and opens gui and the right mouse key does mining.
* Disabled loading of saves before 0.5.0 version (You can use version up to 0.6.4 to load any old saves and re-save them).
* MiningDrill can be built only if there are some resources within its radius.
* The world is slowly generated around the player up to big distance, so exploring should not matter regarding the existance of enemies.
 
====    Bugfixes ====
* Modules are now transfered when fast replacing furnaces.
* Electricity icon of laser turrets in ghost mode.
* Fixed missing black text font borders in some of the texts.
* Fixed crash when opening gui in the ghost mode that is active in some of the challenge missions.

|| 0.7.0 || September 27, 2013 ||
=== 0.7.0 ===
 
==== Features ====
* The factory now produces pollution. Pollution is visible on the map after pressing ALT key. Pollution is mostly produced by mining drills, things that burn coal, assembling machines and modules.
* Enemy creepers were replaced by small, medium and big biters.
* Enemy turrets were replaced by small, medium and big shooting worms.
* Enemy attacks are triggered by pollution accumulated around their base (no time based attacks from the script anymore).
* Enemies move and attack in groups.
* Enemies wander around their base when they have nothing to do.
* Enemies call for help when attacked.
* Enemies can create new bases.
* Added new weapons/ammos: shotgun, combat shotgun, explosive rockets.
* Added upgrades (research) for all types of ammo and for laser turrets as well.
* Added concept of capsules (usable items). Capsules are used from quickbar. Quickbar shortcut (1-5 shift 1-5) applies the capsule at mouse position. Current capsules: basic grenade, poison cloud capsule (doesn't damage buildings), slowdon capsule (doesn't work on buildings), combat robot capsules (spawns robot(s) that fight the enemies)
* The player movement is slower when he is shooting (differs per weapon).
* Added Modular armors with placeable equipment. The armor is opened by right clicking it. Equipments can be: night vision, speedup exoskeleton, energy sources, batteries, energy shields, laser defense, discharge defense
* 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.

==== Changes ====
* Removed the filter inserter (merged with smart inserter), all filter inserters are transformed into smart inserters.
* Land mine has bigger damage radius and trigger.
* Disabled loading of saves before 0.3.0 version (You can use 0.6.4 to load any old saves and re-save them).
* 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 cause stucks 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

* Simple way to add gui elements using script.
* Divided the player and its character, some functions that are not directly connected with the charater (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 onentitydied
* Check for positive addition in the LuaInventory::insert method
* Added LuaInventory::remove method
* Added LuaInventory::getcontents method
* Simplier access to player from game object (game.player instead of game.getplayer())
* Added LuaRecipe::reload method
* Added force parameter in createentity 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).
