Friday Facts #285 - Bugs, Bugs, Bugs.
We have a proportionate number of bug reports coming in for macOS systems, and we don't have a dedicated developer responsible for the problems. The Job listing is still up on our website, and we have the desk already set up for someone willing to join our team. If you might know anybody who might be interested, please point them in our direction.
We are slowly getting to a phase, where we are fixing bugs faster than they are reported. Interestingly enough, the worst bugs were not happening right after the release, but as a reaction to non-trivial fixes later on. Overall there have been over 12,000 crash reports automatically sent in for 0.17, and we are slowly stemming the tide as you can see in the graph.
The second indicator of progress is the amount of active reports on our bug forum reports, the current count is 372. Lets see how long it will take to get it to the magical 0. :)
With the entire rewrite of the graphics engine being put to the test, there have been some very interesting and some very cool looking glitches occurring.
This is almost like a 'cell shaded' effect.
The tiles are slowly being soaked in blood.
This one is just glitchy. Even though some may look cool, these 'effects' have been fixed. Other than bugfixing, not much is going on in the office, so we don't have any interesting news to share with you. That said, if you have some thoughts, let us know on our forum.

Hello, This past weekend we beat our previous record of most simultaneous players with a peak player count on Steam of 22,457 players, and no doubt another couple thousand playing the non-Steam version.

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.
