Version 0.16.crash.fixes

Very glad for how y'all have the crash report submissions setup.

In regards to the belt compression issues... Significant issues fixed in 16.25 and issues that mostly just those with OCD would notice in 16.26. I love the attention to detail by the devs and time taken to work it out. I think the Factorio players in general love attention to detail. A well oiled and optimized machine is so comforting. Would like to see the player base expand even more. Hopefully will hear more on updates in future FFF's on the GUI and/or if new tutorials and/or campaign updates. I see a lot of new players still get stuck on power setup and wonder why the alt view does not start off toggled on by default.

Thank you!

Thanks for compression fixes. I hope soon we'll get rid of them all.

And just yay to those crash reports! Look at the amount of fixes which were not reported on forums!

I was going to say 感謝感激, thank you, but...i can't get Japanese input to work.
Does this require an actual Japanese hardware keyboard (for the input mode buttons)?
Has anyone else manage to get it working?

[Sander_Bouwhuis]

I originally pirated this game and played it for maybe 20 hours or so.
I went to the forums and saw how friendly not only the developers were, but also how polite and civilized the forum topics/messages were. I then bought this game for me and a friend and have played a LOT since then. I also promote it to anyone I talk to who is even remotely interested in more cerebral games.

Thank you very much to both the developers and the community for being great. If only all developers/publishers/communities were like this.

Still waiting on that Expensive Recipes mode overhaul from https://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-217

Considering its supposedly a matter of just juggling a few numerical values, you'd think it'd come sooner

I tried inputting Japanese without a physical keyboard, and I could.

I see the auto crash uploading feature is doing a great job.

[Maldor96]

Make me wonder how much is auto-upload vs reported crashes. What is the approximate ratio?

I think in this short time they're already up to about 100:1, auto:manual.

How do you turn hiragana mode on thought, i.e. what key combination? I'm trying with a german hardware keyboard and nothing i press or click seems to be able to switch to hiragana mode, and the task bar icon stays in "no input" mode.

Do you have chat opened or some other text input box selected (like train station name edit box, blueprint name edit box, ...)?
For me default shortcuts work: Alt + ~ to togle between kana and direct input mode; Alt + Caps Lock switches to katakana; Ctrl + Caps Lock switches to hiragana (tested Microsoft IME on Win 10)

[cbhj1]

was poking around adjusting decorative obliteration rates and came across references to modern concrete, a budding addition perhaps?

[Ghoulish]

Thanks for all the fixes! Especially the belt ones. Looking forward to starting a new base

Normally, IME is disabled while playing factorio.
It becomes available when some input field, e.g. chat, train stop, ... is selected.
Then you can switch to hiragana mode in normal operation(click/right click icon and select hiragana mode).
