I think Wube does so much bugfixing between the Major versions, that the stable version of every branch could called a finished product (kovarex stable >>>> AAA title release state). And they have not done only bugfixing in the year since 0.12.0 but also developed the 0.13 branch. If it was not so, then they would start with the development of 0.13 now and we would have to wait approximatly half a year from now on for the 0.13.0xng wrote:I am a big fan of Factorio almost since the very beginning, and I spent countless hours in this game a long time ago.
That said though, it has taken almost 1 whole year to fix bugs for alpha 0.12 (and we're maybe not done yet), it is a loooong long wait for between major updates especially so early in development. When this reaches beta and the real bugfixes and polishing work starts instead of adding major features I fear we might have to wait decades before we reach release-ready product.
I hope you guys will find a way to work on bugs, polishing and new features in parallel so we dont have to wait a year between major updates during the alpha phase. No one expects a game in pre-release status to be without any bugs or edge cases. My experience in development have taught me that most bugs gets fixed during development of new features because that is when they surface, and patching on code that will get old during development is premature optimizations, at least in most cases.
Anyway, this is one of the best creative games made, and however long it takes to reach the finish line the result will be awesome.
Good luck!
Fixed that for you.xng wrote:most bugs getsfixedcreated during development of new features
Wow! That's seriously impressive if it gets pulled offThe plan is to enhance the script serialization in a way, that modder basically can't make a faulty mod, as all values will be always saved. This requires some low level hacking, so the lua functions, closures and other internal stuff is saved as a byte code as part of the script.
Haha, true. Old bugs gets fixed or disappear with replacement of new better code paths and new bugs emerge, to be even more precise.doc wrote:Fixed that for you.xng wrote:most bugs getsfixedcreated during development of new features
Appearantly too many modders do things wrong (because it's not explained how to do it correctly, or they just don't care) and the only solution is to force everyone onto a more restrictive system so it can't be done wrong.Divran wrote:Why save all values in the lua script? What's the advantage of that over having a function that is called when the game is saved? The game would simply save all values that are returned by the function, and then it would call a different function on load.

Looks nice! Just make it secure enough zo you cant edit other peoples mods, atm I can get in weird stuff. (but cant update it) And as you said: its not the final version.Darkhogg wrote:Has anyone else noticed that http://mods.factorio.com is already up?

I'm sure that any mod can be manually installed and updated, like they can be currently, but I respect their stance not wanting to making things easy and convenient for pirates.

The Workshop isnt really necessary since you can access the website a.k.a. Mod-Browser from within Factorio.AlexAegis wrote:It's cool that you have a website for mods but wouldn't it be easier to enable steam workshop for this? Or at least alongside with this.
