Factorio Forums

• New beacon graphics.

• Changed fluid mixing to a simpler version that only checks when manually building most things.
• Added a flush fluids button to the pipe, underground pipe, and storage tank entity GUIs.

• Show only unlocked items in filter selection (inventory and quickbar) and logistic/trash requests. Other selections like signal selection/upgrade selection are not affected. New interface settings (off by default) bypasses this and allows the player to see all items as before.
• When selecting an element from a slot that has already value, the selected value is now going to be highlighted with the related tab (if applicable) selected.

• Fixed a few weird pixels in heat exchanger East sprites. (85069)
• Fixed player mining animation had the backpack affected by the color mask. (85830)
• Fixed mining drill status after disconnecting it from logistic network. (85836)
• Fixed massive script time usage in Wave defense scenario after configuration changes. (85841)
• Fixed that infinity GUI filters didn't list all items.
• Fixed issue with upgrading ghost of assembler with pipes. (85905)
• Fixed new electric mining drill was missing integration layer. (85923)
• Fixed crash when unit group is destroyed while its goto behavior is being updated. (85883)

• Changed beacon graphics definitions. Graphics are now defined in graphics_set prototype property. If graphics_set is not defined, old animation and base_picture properties will be loaded instead for limited backwards compatibility.

• Added LuaFluidBox::flush().
• Added LuaPlayer::auto_sort_main_inventory read.

Because honestly, this is just ultimate troll/griefing button for public servers...

I have been on a specific version of the game (0.18.22) for a while now, but when I woke up this morning, steam says Factorio is queued for update. I check Properties, and under Betas, the "NONE, Opt out of all beta programs" is selected, and only versions 0.18.24 + are available. Is this something that Factorio devs decide, or is it decided by steam?

Edit: Also, when I go to try and play the game, The "Play" button has changed to "Update" with no other options. It seems like we're being forced to update to the latest experimental version. There's a specific reason I stay on a version that's a little older: to avoid the situation where a new update breaks things. I thought we were free to choose which version of Factorio we wanted to play on. I guess that has changed.

Steam only allows us a certain number of beta versions, eventually we need to free up the slots.

Also we have never recommended or supported users sticking on old experimental versions, and we make no guarantee that we will make them available in perpetuity.
If you want to not worry about 'forced updates breaking things', we would recommend staying on Stable versions of the game.

What do you mean?

The new interface setting to show or not show which modules are inside the beacons when alt-mode is active?

Or do you mean surfaces different from "nauvis"?

Or something different?

What you want is the interface setting that was introduced alongside the new beacon. Go to "Settings" → "Interface" and adjust what you want
