table with following keys:
command(required), unit_count(required), force(optional), unit_search_dist
ance(optional)
This solves issue with not finding any enemies to attack: http://www.facto
rioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=16541
- Removed game.on_save function. There should be no need for it and it was c
ausing too many problems.
- Lua on_load function is not called when saving the game anymore. It is cal
led only on actual load now.
- Lua API calls on_load, on_init, on_configuration_changed, on_event and gen
erate_event_name
have been moved to a new namespace called script (so from now use script.o
n_load(...)). This will break many mods!
The callback registered in on_load function doesn't have access to the gam
e API. This is to avoid common desyncs.
The on_init and on_configuration_changed still retain the access to the ga
me API.
- on_configuration_changed is fired when the map version changes, a mod vers
ion changes, a mod is added, or a mod is removed and passes "data":
Pushes old_version="x.x.x", new_version="x.x.x" when loading map versions
other than the current version
When a mod version is changed it appears as a table of mod changes: {["Mod
name"] = {old_version="x.x.x", new_version="x.x.x"}, ...}
When a mod is added it appears as: ["Mod name"] = {old_version=nil, new_ve
rsion="x.x.x"}
When a mod is removed it appears as: ["Mod name"] = {old_version="x.x.x",
new_version=nil}
- Changed LuaGameScript::makefile to LuaGameScript::write_file and added an
optional third parameter bool to append.
Modding:
- Replaced entity type "rail" with types "straight-rail" and "curved-rail".
Property "bending_type" is optional for rail entities,
but is still mandatory for rail remnants.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Version: 0.12.1
Date: 24. 07. 2015
Features:
- Burner inserters start with enough energy to pick up 1 item and fuel them
selfs.
Changes:
- Train station names use natural string comparing (station "Iron 10" comes
after "Iron 9", not after "Iron 1").

- LuaSurface can be invalid when read from LuaPlayer and Player entity if th
e player is disconnected from the game (MP disconnect) - use LuaSurface.valid to
check.
Note: LuaSurface currently never switches between valid and not valid so t
he check only has to be done when it's first read from the LuaPlayer.
- Changed default maximum range of projectiles from 10^308 to 1000.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Version: 0.12.0
Date: 17. 07. 2015
Features:
- The game is now finished by launching the rocket with satellite.
- Added chain signals, they can be used to make more complicated junctions a
nd stations without deadlocks.
- Added personal roboport as modular armor equipment.
Once it is active, it uses the materials and robots in the players invento
ry.
It supports all the tasks construction robots can do like building bluepri
nts, repairing structures, deconstruction etc.
- Added logistic trash fields to the character gui.
They supply items into the logistic system in the same way active provider
chests do.
- Added combinators (Arithmetic Combinator, Decider Combinator and Constant
combinator).
These allow more advanced manipulation with the circuit network logic (htt
ps://www.factorio.com/blog/post/fff-88)
- The Lamp, Storage Tank, Small Pump and Offshore Pump can be connected to t
he circuit network.
- Multiplayer latency hiding (gives impression that some common tasks are pe
rformed immediately)
Applies to character movement, mining buildings, building, fast replacing,
opening guis, etc.
- Stone brick can be used to build stone path. (30% walking speed increase).
- Concrete can be created.

The concrete can be used to build concrete floors (40% walking speed incre
ase).
- Terrain modifies vehicle friction force (sand: 1.8, grass: 1.6, dirt: 1.4,
stone path: 1.1, concrete: 0.8).
- Trees degenerate slowly when there high pollution levels.
- Lab research is now continuous. Science packs have progress bars of usage.
This means that 20 labs doing research with 10 units will still be faster
than 10
labs and the science packs aren't wasted.
- Assembling machine input slot can contain more than the usual stack size w
hen the recipe requirement demands it (3 X recipe demand).
Example: The rocket silo requires 1000 steel, while the stack size is 100,
but the input stack can hold enough.
- Added / updated sounds for biters, spitters, worm, spawner, flamethrower,
tank, lasers, etc.
- New ambient soundtrack added.
Added mechanism that prevents playing track that was played recently.
The ambient player alternates between neutral wind/environment sounds and
soundtrack songs.
- Mousing over a train will show you its current path and blocks it can't en
ter.
- Locomotives now show the contents of attached cargo wagons in their toolti
p.
- Trees regenerate health slowly.
- Added support for transferring contents/settings when fast-replacing all e
ntity types.
- Added modules to the alt-view for entities that support modules.
- Factorio can run as a dedicated server without graphics (http://www.factor
ioforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Multiplayer#Headless_server).
- Basic PvP: New forces can now be created and merged back together; a cease
-fire can be agreed upon between forces
- IPv6 support for multiplayer.
- DNS names can be used when connecting to multiplayer game.
- Enabled mining trees/ghosts while holding blueprints to be built.
- Added explosive cannon shells.
- Building blueprints over existing ghosts restores the ghost time to live t
o full.
Changes:
- Disabled loading of saves before 0.9.0 version (You can use 0.9.8 to load
older saves and re-save them).
- Removed rocket defense entity.
- Items on transport belts don't go off the belt at the end, so the transpor
t belt has
to go directly in front of the required inserter.
- Reduced number of rendered Roboport connections.
- The trade in the marketplace only happens if the player can accept the tra
de items.
- Inserters can now extract from Roboports and Beacons.
- Inserters now take items from right behind them, not from the center of th
e pickup target entity.
- Copy entity settings mechanism now remembers only the last entity copied f
rom.
Also mechanism allows copy/paste across different entities of the same typ
e (i.e. assembling machine 1 -> assembling machine 2) and
from assembling machines to requester chests (sets filters to 2 x requirem
ents of the assembling machine).
- Trees have generally smaller bounding boxes, so it is easier to walk throu
gh forest.
- Power armor modules generate and consume 100 times more power in order to
be able to charge construction robots.

- The construction robots don't build gate in the gap between the rolling st
ock vehicles. They wait for the train to get away.
- Player's logistic filters are now remembered after respawn in multiplayer
- All turrets are now 4x4; laser turrets are 4x more expensive and powerful,
gun turrets are 2x more expensive
- Roboport tooltip now shows correct numbers of contruction and logistic rob
ots separately.
- When a train loses a path and cannot find a new one, it stops immediately.
This prevents it from riding into parts of the rail network, from where it can'
t find a path.
- Improvements to circuit network wire connection. You can connect multiple
wires of the same color to the same entity.
- The autosave dialog no longer cancels an active blueprint or deconstructio
n planner selection if the mouse button is still held after the autosave finishe
s
- Number of autosave slots is now configurable through config.ini (no GUI).
Optimisations:
- Overall optimisation of train + belt heavy factories is roughly 66% compar
ed to 0.11,
this means that the game runs 3 times faster.
- Optimised the transport belt movement.
- Optimised the rotated bounding box collisions checks (trains).
- Optimised the smoke update.
- Optimised the solar panel, all the solar panel input is merged, so the cou
nt doesn't matter.
- Optimised the accumulators by merging then into groups, where typical fact
ory has 1 group per network.
- Optimised the land mine activation mechanism.
- Smaller multiplayer heartbeat packet size.
- Optimised adding/removing of roboport, robots keep their tasks if they can
.
- Path finder will terminate when search is too long. This avoids save explo
sions (see http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12580).
- Optimised rendering for large logistic networks.
- Fixed that the graphics were saved twice in the RAM memory.
Graphics:
- New graphics of the combat robots.

- Fixed several train related bugs and issues, mainly:
Fixed the problem of train occasionally loosing path when moving fast.
This also fixes the problems of mods with super fast trains.
Fixed that trains could occasionaly leave block behind them blocked.
Fixed that trains could do huge detours when some block was blocked.
The pathfinding is based on penalties for blocked segments now.
For trains waiting in station, the more remaining time in the station, t
he bigger penalty.
- Removing train station doesn't remove it from the train list.
If there are no stations with the given name, the station is shown as red
in the schedule.
Such station are skipped by the train until the station with the name appe
ars again.
- Fixed the way train was preferring non-blocked paths/stations.
- Fixed that diagonal parallel curve blocks both tracks. (http://www.factori
- Partial fix of the constant micro-freezes/frame drops.
- Fixed problems with inserters not putting items on belts to ground.
- Fixed crash when MP game is refused by the host.
- Update doesn't require UAC approval, when the zip package version is used.

- Radar ignores chunks outside the map borders. (http://www.factorioforums.c
- Fixed (hopefully) the "unique_path: An Internal error occurred" problem.
- Fixed that the inserter was buildable on the top of underground belt.
- Fixed that the electric pole was buildable so close to the curved rail tha
t it would be destroyed by the train.
- Fixed that the electric network for power armor was ran twice per game tic
k
- Fixed the "trying to make chunk at unreasonable position" bug related to s
ending empty unit group somewhere from script.
Scripting:
- Fixed problems in the lua equipment grid interface:
.clear() nolonger crashes, .move() works now, and .generator_energy report
s energy as a floating point value.
- Fixed that the rail directions were messed up when building rails from scr
ipt.
The mechanism, that changes the rail direction based on the position is st
ill used for manual building, to allow the user
to build diagonal rails without having to switch direction after every pie
ce.

hen they were stopped and prepared
for deconstruction.
- Fixed that construction robots, when deconstructing splitters/belts to gro
und didn't remove the items on these

ansport belts.
Can reduce the update time on big factories by about 30%.
Scripting:
- Fixed various problems in the lua blueprint interface.

Date: 31.10. 2014
Bugfixes:
- Removed test code leftover that artifically created desync every 20 secon
ds.
- Fixed the localisation errors.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Version: 0.11.0
Date: 31.10. 2014
Features:
- First version of the multiplayer.
Only co-op mode. Simplistic UI. Requires a public IP address for connectin
g to.
Tested mostly on LAN. Replays of MP games don't work yet. Number of player
s is not limited.
- Added gates, they open when friendly player comes by. Gates built on strai
ght rails become rail gates.
- Added a tank. It is way more durable than a car. It has its own set of wea
pons.
- Added spitters. They are a next evoluton step of biters with a ranged (spi
tting) attack.
They are spawned in their own spawners (different mask color) but only aft
er evolution reaches 0.3.
- The console works as a chat tool by default now.
Ingame commands can be used, /w for whisper or /c for lua command (previou
s functionality). For more type /help.
- Highlight of the items added into the inventory (http://www.factorioforums
- Randomized lights turning on and off during dawn and dusk (http://www.fact
- Item entities are now de-constructable.
- Added a cancel deconstruction option to the deconstruction planner.
- Copy/paste entitysettings (filters) for cargowagons (like e.g. recipes for
assembling machines).
Bugfixes:
- Loads of determinism fixes, mainly for the multiplayer, but the replay sta
bility should improve a lot as well.
- When game speed is < 1 the gui doesn't lag.
- Fixed crash when trying to connect trains in a situation that would result
in collision of the new train with other trains
- Fixed invalid directions in game.create_entity() crashing the game.
- Calling game.take_screenshot{} no longer crashes the game.
- Fixed that some entities weren't placable in the map editor (worm corpses)
.
- Fixed incorrectly disabled New game -> Custom scenario -> Confirm button.
- Fixed that turret could be walked over when rebuilt until the game was rel
oaded.
- Accidental building is now not possible when viewing the map.

- Compatibility fix of the new OS X Yosemite.

gram.
- Fixed crash when placing blueprints with wires over existing ghosts with w
ires (http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5966)

ion.
Graphics:
- New player animation. Three levels depending on the armor. All with masks.
- Rail endings.
- Biters/Spitters/Spawners/Worms are now drawn using the same picture with d
ifferently colored masks.
This allows making different color combinations of biters without rising t
he video memory requirements.(Mods!)
- Blood splashes when units die are now procedural.
Balancing:
- Stone walls need research (just red science packs needed).
- Slower crafting (0.5s->10s) of solar panels and accumulators.
- Fast/Express splitter are made from the lower variants (same as with trans
port belts/underground belts)
- Small electric pole can be used as fuel.
- Changed wood fuel value from (0.6MJ->2MJ), so 2Xwood made from raw wood ha
s the same fuel value as the original raw wood.
Optimisations:
- Faster map drawing.
- Optimized main loop. The game will automatically skip rendering when it ca
n't keep up with expected updates per second.
LowFPS mode has been removed because this functionality fully replaces it
(it automatically lowers FPS when needed).
- Added Bitmap Memory Caching. This allows to store certain sprites classes
(defined by priority) in RAM and load them only when needed.
If your computer has little VRAM try setting "Bitmap Caching Level" (in Gr
aphicsSettings) to "very low".
This will keep the trains / player and enemies dying animations in RAM, sa
ving a lot of VRAM.
Changes:
older saves and re-save them).
- New physics for cars. Car now does very little damage when colliding.
- Disabled shooting from a vehicle (capsules can still be thrown).
Modding:
- Added phases to the mod loading. data.lua of all mods is loaded first, the
n the data-updates.lua and the data-final-fixes.lua as last.
This allows mods to change the data of other mods without the need to be l
ast. This is used even in the base game, to add the
dust effect when a building is created, so the effect is added to mod buil
dings as well.
- Every animation / sprite can now have a color tint.
- Every animation / sprite can have any number of "overlays" (see how player
masks work).
- Changed the frame_width/frame_height properties of animation to width/heig
ht so it is the same as in sprite.
- Better specification for enemy spawner units (see biter-spawner for exampl
e).
- Furnace and assembling machine have been internally united. They the the s
ame animation and quite a few properties
(crafting_categories, energy_usage, crafting_speed, animation, working_visu
alisations).
As a result Furnace can now have fluid boxes and use recipes with multiple
outputs (but not multiple inputs).

- Extended car prototypes to make tanks possible.
- Electric turret uses ammo_type directly from its attack_parameters.
- Attack parameters accept warmup field which defines the delay before the e
ffects take place (but animation and sound start playing instantly).
This is now used for spitter shooting animation only.
Scripting:
- Lua API for writing / reading player color (i.e. game.player.color = {r=0.
7, g=0.4, b=0.3})
- Fixed saving and loading references to LuaEntity and LuaItem prototypes.
- Fixed crash when calling game.set_tiles() with invalid parameters.
- Added New LuaFluidBox object to interact with liquids.
- Lua API for reading backer names of entities (and writing station-names).
- Expansion of get_circuit_condition-method; the returned table contains a n
ew key "fulfilled" which
indicates if condition is met.
- Expansion of get/set/clear-filter methods to allow access to cargowagon fi
lters
- Changed onplayercrafted; it is now called for every item in the crafting q
ueue crafted
- Added new events:
on_robot_built_entity: passes entity built
on_robot_pre_mined: identical to on_preplayer_mined_item but called by rob
ots
on_robot_mined: identical to on_player_mined_item
on_research_started: passes the research name
on_research_finished: passes the research finished
on_player_rotated_entity: passes the entity rotated
on_marked_for_deconstruction: passes the entity
on_canceled_deconstruction: passes the entity
on_trigger_created_entity: passes the entity created; only called if the t
rigger creating the entity has been marked with "trigger_created_entity = true"
on_train_changed_state: passes the train
- Added show_entity_info parameter to take_screenshot.
- Function gettext was removed completely, localised strings are now specifi
ed by the curly-brackets {"key", {"key-parameter"}, "literal parameter", 7}
- Added disconnect_neighbour: used with electric poles; takes the circuit co
nnector to disconnect - none to disconnect standard copper wire.
- Added ghost-related methods:
ghost_name read: the ghost entity name
ghost_localised_name read: the localised ghost entity name
ghost_type read: the ghost entity type
ghost_prototype read: the ghost entity prototype
time_to_live read/write: the number of ticks until the ghost dies
- Expanded direction and recipe to provide write access
- Expanded methods to support reading/writing from ghost entities: (connect_
neighbour, disconnect_neighbour, direction, get_circuit_condition, set_circuit_c
ondition,
clear_circuit_condition, orientation, rotateable, recipe, backer_name)
- Changed set_circuit_condition parameters to: {circuit = index, operator =
operator, name = name, count = count}
- Added Lua API for reading/writing information from special items (ammo, ar
mor, blueprints, tools)
- Added Lua API for reading/writing armor equipment and equipment grids
- Expanded methods for trains:
locomotives read: returns the locomotives for the train
state read: returns the current train state (train states are defined in d
efines.trainstate)
- Lua objects can now be passed between scripts with remote.call().
If an invalid object is passed the destination interface recives nil in pl
ace of the object.

- Added game.players[] - returns a table of the current players
- Expanded player-related methods to pass "player_index" of the player doing
the action. If there is no player (map editor) the "player_index" value will be
nil.
(on_picked_up_item, on_built_entity, on_player_mined_item, on_preplayer_mi
ned_item, on_player_createditem, onplayerrotatedetity)
- Added "player_index" read to LuaGuiElement
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Version: 0.10.12
Date: 16.9. 2014
- Fixed that it wasn't possible to set a filter.
- Fixed that fast replacing moved items primary to character, it made upgrad
ing chests and machines not practical.
Instead, when fast replacing, the content is always transferred to the new
entity, when it can't fit, it transfers
to player, and if it can't be moved to the player as well it makes the goo
d old item bomb.
- The right ui container is slightly larger, so it can contain the roboport
info without enlarging.
- The worm turrets are not taken into consideration when deciding enemy expa
nsions.
- Fixed that enemy expansion candidates were not updated correctly when base
was destroyed.
- Fixed that combat robots were on the map/minimap.
- Fixed extra mousebuttons over gui behavior (http://www.factorioforums.com/

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Version: 0.10.10
Date: 12.9. 2014
Bugfixes:
- Fixed that passive provider chest acted as active provider chest after gam
e load.
- Fixed that player turrets could be walked through after reconstructed. (ht
tp://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5618).
- Fixed that the starting chest in sandbox mode didn't contain some of the i
tems in full stacks.
- Fixed that the pause game control reset itself to default after every rest
art.
- Fixed wrong directory name inside save (it was "currently-saving", now it
is the same as the save name).
- Fixed that map2scenario didn't copy locale and script state to the scenari
o.
- Fixed crash related to enemy pathfinding.
- Fixed wrongly reported amount of items the player got from mining machines
/containers (http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5688).
- Fixed entity icons of defender/distractor/destroyer robots.
- Fixed that deconstructing transport-belt-to-ground would delete items they
held (http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5667).
- Fixed that deconstructing inserters holding items would delete items they
held (http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5636).
- The notifications of destroyed buildings are created only when someone oth
er than player (or his machines) destroys the building.
This affects player destroying his buildings manually and also land-mine d
estroying itself on impact.
- Fixed that slightly more robots than needed could be send to empty provide
r chest (http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5613).
- When unresearching (using script) the toolbelt, the items that can't fit i
t are inserted back into the player's inventory.
- Recipes changed by mod will be refreshed to original value automatically w
hen the mod is removed
- Fixed crash when opening save that contained mods that are not already pre
sent.
Crash happened when the crafting menu was opened and the active crafting g
roup was added by the mod (so it is not present anymore).
- Fixed that items were moved into quickbar even when there was already stac
k of that type in the quickbar (currently selected in hand)
- Fixed the missing check of gun->ammo compatibility when putting the gun th
ere using shift-click or when the gun was crafted.
(http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/posting.php?mode=reply&t=5682).
- Fixed that the visualisation radius of throwables (the green circle) wasn'
t visible when the player was in the vehicle.
- Fixed that the container's inventory didn't get sorted in case the contain
er couldn't be mined because all the items wouldn't fit the inventory.
(http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?=5614).
- Fixed crash during enemy attack when the enemy unit was modded to attack b
y destroying everything including itself
- Fixed that the player mined item event was not called when he got just par
t of the inventory
- Fixed that it wasn't possible to start fullscreen game in other than the p
rimary window. There is now settings in config in category [graphics] section:

preffered-screen-index. Changing the value changes the display adapter (mo
nitor) that is used. If many people use this feature in the future, we can put i
t in the
graphics settings ingame as well (http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/view
topic.php?t=5048).
- The number input box "consumes" only numeric input. Other keys for walking
or closing the window still work when the field is selected.
This is true as long as these are not mapped to numbers, bad luck in that
case (http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5741)
- Fixed that actions made in the last tick before closing the scenario due t
o error were applied again when different game was opened
Debugging:
- Added option to turn off vertical synchronisation of the display (v-sync).
- Fixed crash when starting game without config file.
Gui:
- Progress bar showing electricity availability is now colored. Green for al
l required energy available, yellow, more than half, red less than half.
Modding:
- Progress bar style enables to specify different colors for different range
s of values.
Scripting:
- Added game.get_chunks() iterator and game.is_chunk_generated(...) and game
.player.force.is_chunk_charted() methods.
- Pre player mined item event is called really before the player starts to g
et items from the inventory.
Note that the change means, that the event is called even when the mine ca
n eventually fail
(not enough inventory to hold all the items). In the future, we might add
an event for when the entity is really going to be removed.

e big map.
Scripting:

the assembling machine, rather than use it to change direction of existing
machines (http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5239).
- Allowed to check placebility of item on ground from script as long as the

Quickbar shortcut (1-5 shift 1-5) applies the capsule at mouse position.
Current capsules: basic grenade, poison cloud capsule (doesn't damage buil
dings),
slowdon capsule (doesn't work on buildings), combat robo
t capsules (spawns robot(s) that fight the enemies)
- The player movement is slower when he is shooting (differs per weapon).

t clicking it.
Equipments can be: night vision, speedup exoskeleton, energy sources, batt
eries, energy shields, laser defense, discharge defense

- Logistic robots try to not mix different items in storage chests if possib
le.
- Placing resources now uses the "autoplace" mechanism as well (see lua data
files).

frequency and size are less dependent on each other.
- Automatic updates can use proxy server.
Gui:
- Extended tips and tricks.

The limit of 5 connection per pole stays.
Building electric poles with shift pressed builds it without any connectio
ns.
BugFixes:
- Straight belt pushes items from the center to one of the sides, so randoml
y inserted items on belt
shouldn't cause stucks in the U turns.

ng gui, it shows Inifnite count craftable
of that item (and all items dependent on recipes that are for free).

works as well, the
same with bounding box.
- Added simple interface for the Freeplay that allows manipulating the attac
ks from mod scripts.
