An option menu for mods? All for it, because for big mods it is really bad to change things. Just today I tried rising the damage of Bobs laser turrets and it is quite a pain, not blaiming bob on that though. A damage coefficient for the laser turrets as a config option would really have helped.

Auto sync of mods would also be a nice feature sometime in the future.

AMAZING!!!
Imagine if you (the devs) had seen this picture from the future when you first started Factorio... Factorio has progressed an almost incomprehensible amount!

[LotA]

Every single FF is a little star shinning right through my heart

[Proxy]

it looks like a Cute little Model Train.

I have only one problem with this post....


THE PICTURE ISNT DESKTOP SIZED

Anyways I can't wait for the update

[Mooncat]

I thought the locomotive and cargo wagon are taller than the image. Anyway I am not an artist.

The save files I was testing with that would run around 30 UPS in 0.14 are now running between 55 and 60 UPS in 0.15.

Damn, this is great. Some good titles like Starbound went bad when they were officially released because the devs didn't optimize their code while kept adding new features to it. Factorio is showing them how they should be. Good job Rseding91!

Perfomance, Performance, Performance! 400+ Players aren't enough, right?

[DeathMers]

What do you consider "larger save files" Rseding91? And just out of curiosity, what is largest save file you have ever encountered (till 0.14.20, do not include 0.15) ?

[MrGrim]

Wow! Mod options, that impressive as hell 2x speed up, and holy cow that render! I am so excited for 0.15!!

Exceptional work, guys. Simply exceptional.

I feel like you could get some really big maps if you post a question on the subreddit saying what parts of the game you'd like to get stressed, there will always be players doing weird shit that you might just be able to use

[Ohz]

It is just crazy to imagine with those amazing 3D HD models you could with a 3D engine make a totally new game

If you have maga base you can submit your save file and help optimize Factorio even more

Almost 2x better performance omg nice job
Trains and other stuff going to look awesome in .15

[DanGio]

Again, if some day you release a book with all the FFF and a few pictures of the team at work, I'd buy it right away...

[DutchJer]

if you want some stressing bases, maybe try mine (its not done yet) Countycupid, Shredguy, mightymike and probably some others in the twitch env. I will be happy to give my map just for testing. What im building right now, should still work in vanilla.

[dasiro]

seeing this render makes me hold my breath until this level of visual quality is transferred to the game itself. Now I'm having no issues whatsoever running the game windowed in 2560*1440 on my ancient radeon 6850 (the only remnant in my newly build setup), but I guess I'll have to throw it out of the window to have this kind of quality, which saddens me. I know you spoke of introducing the new HD graphics and keeping the current graphics optional, but still

If mods have a problem of local editing on multiplayer games making desyncs
maybe it will be beneficial to add Signatures/checksum to the mod that will be verified against the server version of the mod to prevent inconsistencies and corruptions

[EdTheMad]

I cant find anywhere all the changes they plan to do at 0.15.

Anyone knows where I can find that?
