I don't know why I didn't get a notification for this response, but thanks a lot @PunPun for your help. It's a perfect solution for me!

I know you can download the latest headless version through https://factorio.com/get-download/lates ... ss/linux64 , but is there any API/URI to fetch just the latest version string?

It feels a little bit wasteful to always have to download the whole package to just check if there's a new version.

Factorio Cheat Sheet is extremely handy, it also has been updated to 0.17.

Is there a map-gen-settings.json with the default settings somewhere? Would help a lot with setting up a server for creating maps! There's an example in a subfolder of the server, but for some reason it's filled with seemingly random values instead of the defaults, and no information of valid ranges...

You need to increase continuity to see it clearly, but it's always a circle a cliffs around the starting point.

Background In 0.17 you always start in a circle surrounded by cliffs like on this image 2019-03-13_0927_34.png Proposition I propose that we can change the starting circles radius. Why? My experience with this now is that most often the resources are overlapping the cliff circle, like iron, copper ...

I'm pretty sure a warning like "This blueprint might not work as expected if mirrored" would be enough and everyone would have an awesome feature.

As soon as I look away for a minute there's 2 new versions out.

I'm happy 0.17 is finally here, but the devs spending the last year in hiding developing features without feedback from players made 0.17 become a mess of epic proportions. That they don't have anyone that knows about UI/UX and still went to try to develop a new system for about 2 years, again witho...

I think the graphics looks good and well done, but the biters turned into robots. In 0.16 they looked more organic and alive.

I see from the pictures here, and from my own testing, that the ones that finally manages to the beat the tutorial have a minimal base. I think the biter attacks might scale exponentially to what you have (pollution or something ridiculous like that maybe). My first try my base used up ~80% power fr...

Feels good that I wasn't the only one getting stumped first time. My first thought when reading these is that I don't understand how this can be meant as the first experience for a new player. You start with not knowing how to even move around or open your own inventory to 30 minutes later getting a...

I've got a couple thousand hours in factorio, tried the 0.17 tutorial and failed. The entire iron field on the map went to constant production of ammunition but still it could not produce enough to keep the turrets filled because of the never ending waves of thousands of biters. I think I should pro...

I'd like to confirm this too. I tried to rebind in the controls interface in game by just pressing the button (in this case Caps Lock that is mapped to Escape on my layout) to toggle menu. The rebinding interface in game understands that press correctly as Escape but and in game it opens the menu wh...

Same thoughts... Step1: i build my belts way too close... Step2: The next game i leave space between them!!! Step3: repeat Step 1 & 2 for about 4 times Step4: repeating the same with trains :D This is the evolution of a factorio player. There's a limit to both approaches, the max throughput and...

I find a main bus is really hard to expand beyond midgame, so I start with a tiny main bus to get things going and build train stations and network as soon as possible.

I'm not hyped for 0.17 much, but I will be hyped when my 0.17 Angel/Bob factory accomplishes the two rocket per minute goal. That way I can retire from Factorio permanently. I may return in 5 years to see the launch of the 0.18 update, but more out of curiosity than anything. Haha, I believe in you...

Will 0.17 be compatible with linux?

Yep

Nice =)

Will 0.17 be compatible with linux (Ubuntu LTS)?

Fluid "mixing" in 0.16 only ever happens if the pipe is empty, how does the new system know if it's the wrong fluid for an empty pipe? (Placing pipe/rotating/changing recipe)
