Version history/0.10.0
0.10.12
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 robot 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 mousebuttons over GUI behavior (more).
Balancing
- The maximum distance of enemy expansion was increased from 5 to 7.
Scripting
- makefile, takescreenshot and removepath now use logger to report failures, minor fixes in the path verification

- Fixed that the blueprint preview could go outside the window in some cases (more).
- 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 (more).
- Show the logistic network areas when the deconstruction tool is in hand (more).
- Fixed that the long entity names permanently enlarged the sidebar (more).
- 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 (more).
- Fixed that wire connection isn't cleared when the wire is put away in god mode (more).
- Fixed that cursor for wire placing was inconsistent sometimes (more).
0.10.10
There is a problem with numbers/enter hotkeys that can be randomly disabled for the whole game.
Bugfixes

- Fixed that deconstructing inserters holding items would delete items they held (more).
- 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 (more).
- When unresearching (using script) the toolbelt, the items that can't fit it are inserted back into the player's inventory (more).
- Recipes changed by mods will be refreshed to original value automatically when mod is removed (more).
- 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 occurred 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) (more)
- Fixed the missing check of gun->ammo compatibility when putting the gun there using shift-click or when the gun was crafted (more).
- Fixed that the visualization radius of throwables (the green circle) wasn't visible when the player was in vehicle (more).
- Fixed that the inventory didn't get sorted after the container couldn't be mined as all the items couldn't fit the inventory (more).
- Fixed that when enemy unit was modded to attack by destroying everything including itself crashed the game (more)
- Fixed that the player mined item event was not called when he got just part of the inventory (more).
- 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: preferred-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 (more).
- 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 (more)

Debugging
- Added option to turn off vertical synchronization of the display (v-sync).

GUI
- Progress bar showing electricity availability is now colored. Green for all required energy available, yellow, more than half, red less than half)
Modding

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.
0.10.9
Bugfixes

- Fixed various problems of not loadable save when energy source type of entities changed or mod specifying entities with energy source missing. (more).
- Removed so called "item bomb" effect. It happened When the player tried to a mine chest that contained items that couldn't fit his inventory. 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 (more). 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 (more). 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 resetting key bindings when changing keyboard layouts (more)
- Fixed bug when using deconstruction tool broke the replay (more).
- Fixed that pausing the game closed the opened GUI (more)
- Fixed that setting more than 65535 value in the logistics request GUI didn't work properly.

- 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 (more).
Debugging

Optimisations
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 crash when smart inserter with logistic condition was rebuilt.
- Fixed leak in path finding that was causing huge saves(more).
- Fixed that splitter was buildable over transport belt to ground (and vice versa).
- Fixed crash when renaming OSX application name.

- 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

Balancing
- Wall repair speed is twice the fast.
Translations
- Added Catalan translation.

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 consumption, different speeds of vehicles, etc.). Use it only to preview the trailer scenario!
