Changes

Blueprints in the blueprint library are sorted using case-insensitive natural compare. E.g. the sorting order now is "1", "2", "10", instead of the previous "1", "10", "2".
Inserters will no longer drop what they are holding when disabled by the circuit network. more
The deconstruction planner filter now treats any entity filter as also matching entity ghosts of that type.
Multiplayer creation GUI now remembers game name. more

Balance

Explosive Mine now only does damage to enemy units and structures.

Sound

Added missing vehicle collision sounds (pipes, solar panels, etc...)
Reduced volume of ore mining and tree chopping.

Bugfixes

Toggling fullscreen via options or Alt-Enter now keeps window on the same monitor. more
Fixed that in long recharging queues some robots would never get a chance to recharge. more
Fixed that it wasn't possible to click and drag blueprints into an empty blueprint book. more
Fixed that deconstruction/blueprinting selection would be canceled if the selection ended on one of the always-visible GUIs. more
Fixed the productivity bar in the furnace GUI wouldn't show in some instances. more
Fixed exiting a multiplayer game hosted through the in-game multiplayer option. more
Fixed that tile ghosts would always get selected over real entities. more
Fixed that the heat-connection icon was not visible on entities other than boiler and reactor. (related to modding)
Fixed that furnace with heat source couldn't be rotated before placing it.
Fixed the gui of furnace using heat as energy source.
Fix PvP Gui script error. more
Fix that clearing items in Transport belt maddness didn't give the items back. more
Fixed that rails marked for deconstruction wouldn't allow canceling deconstruction while a train was on them. more
Fixed that biters would change orientation rapidly when they were near a player whom they couldn't attack. more
Fixed that Rocket Silo would continue crafting for 1 tick after completing a rocket. more
Fixed that lot of other keys that can be used to write characters in the edit box (or console) were not blocked from affecting the game if they are assigned to do a game action. Having text box active now means that all of the keys are blocked from affecting the game.
Fixed (hopefully), that the stretching of bounding boxes of walls to touch their neighbours was not taking into account when marking things in the way for the blueprint. more
Fixed that the description pane would change width depending on the content. It should now never change width. more
Fixed that the shooting-target would render as valid to shoot with rockets when it actually wasn't. more
Fixed that programmable speakers would get wrong instruments after importing pre-0.15.19 blueprint string. more
Fixed that maximized Factorio window had thin border around it. more
Fixed that vanilla and modded version of achievements could be mixed up. more
Fixed that inserters would try to insert items into other non-burner inserters. more
Fixed that fast-transferring modules into the rocket silo would put them into the module slots and the rocket at the same time. more
Fixed that the "rocket launched without satellite" message couldn't be dismissed in some cases. more
Fixed the mining drill GUI wouldn't show mining progress when it had a large number of modded module slots. more
Fixed fast-replacing an assembling machine with overloaded ingredients would spill the items. more
Fixed many ingredients or products in recipes would break the assembling machine GUI. more
Fixed wrong values when using /config set allowed-commands with invalid values would crash the game. more

Modding

Fixed that giving rolling stock entities invalid collision masks would crash the game. more
Mod title and description can now be localised.
Fixed a crash when mods use reset technologies during the technology researched event. more
Fixed that modded GUI elements wouldn't get removed in some cases when the mod was removed. more
Fixed source_effects applying effects to the source by the target instead of to the source by the source. more

Scripting

Fixed setting robot.energy for logistic/construction robots wouldn't account for the robot battery upgrade. more
Fixed that setting LuaBurner::currently_burning didn't accept LuaItemPrototype as the docs said. more
Added LuaEntityPrototype::count_as_rock_for_filtered_deconstruction read.
Added LuaEntityPrototype::filter_count read.
Added LuaEntity::spawner/units read.

Factorio: Space Age

Factorio is a game in which you build and maintain factories. You will be mining resources, researching technologies, building infrastructure, automating production and fighting enemies. In the beginning you will find yourself chopping trees, mining ores and crafting mechanical arms and transport belts by hand, but in short time you can become an industrial powerhouse, with huge solar fields, oil refining and cracking, manufacture and deployment of construction and logistic robots, all for your resource needs. However this heavy exploitation of the planet's resources does not sit nicely with the locals, so you will have to be prepared to defend yourself and your machine empire.

Join forces with other players in cooperative Multiplayer, create huge factories, collaborate and delegate tasks between you and your friends. Add mods to increase your enjoyment, from small tweak and helper mods to complete game overhauls, Factorio's ground-up Modding support has allowed content creators from around the world to design interesting and innovative features. While the core gameplay is in the form of the freeplay scenario, there are a range of interesting challenges in the form of the Scenario pack, available as free DLC. If you don't find any maps or scenarios you enjoy, you can create your own with the in-game Map Editor, place down entities, enemies, and terrain in any way you like, and even add your own custom script to make for interesting gameplay.
