Factorio
Assembling machine circuit control:
Now with the circuit network, they can change recipes, and think of them as modules used in Rocket Control Units or Speed Modules, allowing for another layer of automation.When changing the recipe to something unrelated, an assembling machine creates a special "dump inventory" to handle items.
This will enable more versatile assembler setups, and utilities such are Enable/Disable, Set Recipe, Read Ingredients, Read Recipe Finished, and Read Working.
Blueprint Flipping Gets Real:
Version 1.1 introduces Blueprint Flipping, allowing horizontal or vertical flipping of whole item sets before placement.Some buildings with fluid inputs/outputs couldn't be flipped, leading to the need for a real flipping solution.
Buildings now have an automatic detection of symmetry for fluid connections, enabling a more intuitive and logical flipping experience.
Flipping becomes a first-class operation, applicable when hovering over a building and pressing F or G, flipping items in hand before placement, and during copy-paste actions.
Naming Changes for Inserters:
Following community discussions, Stack inserters will be renamed to Bulk inserters in version 2.0.The new inserter, capable of stacking items on belts, will assume the name Stack inserter for clarity and consistency.
We encourage you to go through those updates and leave your thoughts on this occasion. Factorio is developing steadily, and the feedback of players from its community is vital in terms of shaping it. So well, flip your thoughts onto us at the usual places, and let's keep building a better Factorio together!
