0.17 Hype?

[Oktokolo]

To be honest I've been eager to start a new game since beginning of January. However the Friday Facts pointed that 0.17 was just around the corner, and since there are quite major changes - including in various formulas - I decided to wait for the time being. It's getting so hard to keep on waiting!

Do not wait. If you want to play now, just do it! 0.16 already is a pretty good and enjoyable game and most techniques you learn and blueprints you create will work in 0.17 too.
Also, there is a ton of mods already working well with 0.16. It might take some time for them all to get updated to support 0.17. So if you are into mods, you should definitely not hold your breath...

So... Am I the only one waiting impatiently for 0.17?

My patience slider is somewhere around 50-70 percent.

My patience slider is somewhere around 50-70 percent.

Is 100% completely patient or extremely impatient? I mean, you didn't label the axis.

NERD!

Oh, sorry. Manners. I mean...

FELLOW NERD!

I had exactly the same thought, though I figured "Patience" meant 0 is totally impatient, and 100 is totally patient. Otherwise, it'd be an "Impatience slider."

I'm in Australia so we get it before anyone else. I'll let you know when I see it.

I just set my time zone to Australia so I can play early without all that mucking about with flying halfway around the world.

0.16 was worth it of course but now that I know the workaround I'll never do it again.

If you set your calender to wednesday you have it since 2 days.

As i've just sat down for the evening to play games, right now would be absolutely awesome

That's just cheating.

Personally, struggling to resist compulsion to urgently finish all my half-baked 0.16 builds with mod dependencies.

I really, seriously, have a lot of work to do this week... people are depending on my and shit. Sadly I was super over-committed in RL this week before FFF announcing release target was posted. There was no reasonable way I could have possibly cleared my schedule without, i.e., feigning illness (but I just got over a huge three week cold so people would start to worry even if I did).

So... really going to try to behave. At the same time, I have occasional thoughts like "If I'm honest, there's definitely a small nonzero chance I'll be single and jobless soon "

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 your foreseen timeline =)

I don't use raw modules or beacons if that's what you're asking. I'll use regular speed modules for slow buildings to be more up to par with faster ones (Slow-ass algae farms for example) or to slightly reduce the footprint if it's getting out of hand, but designs based around beacons were never my style, so I never make them.

The challenge may take a nice while to complete, but it seems to be the ultimate goal to saying you're a true Factorio champion these days. It should be fun and very stimulating, so I intend to retire with a bang. (Biter intense mods with no infinite ores might bite me in the ass though.)

Something is happening...

Hype? Don't know if this is a good indicator. But change is always good right?

Klonan: It's time...

Kovarex: Wait, let's just finish this last thing...

Oh Factorio, what have you done...
