Thank you again... certainly looking like a fantastic release... wish I knew when its coming out !

Excellent, thank you.
I (no doubt like everyone else here) am keenly looking forward to the new version.

I don't pre-order games. Unless it's Factorio. The level of effort that you guys are putting into the game and the expansion is really legendary. It's a credit to you I'm happy for your success I'm even happier for the enjoyment I get from the game. I am really looking forward to the expansion I mus...

I really enjoyed the descriptive text. Some of it reminded me of the teletype adventure games. Take a look at Colossal Cave Adventure on Wikipedia for example. I worked for a Computer Bureau in the early 1980's (before companies had their own computers... providing payroll and inventory control syst...

A note to say thank you to the entire crew for Factorio. I have enjoyed the game immensely. I still do. I too have been reading with interest and, sometimes, amazement this new series of Friday facts. Your letting us see a glimpse behind the curtain of what is to come in 2.0 and equally interesting ...

Really enjoying your Friday Facts. Every FF is making me more excited about the coming update. It certainly looks like its going to be terrific. Thank you.

Are you going to provide your players early adopter / pre order opportunities?

really enjoying your Friday Facts newsletters. Got to say the elevated rails is very exciting. So appreciative of your efforts. Thank you.

@Serenity, @Silari, thank you for your replies. Most appreciated.

What I think I want to do is keep a copy of the game in its current state so I can continue to play as it is with saved games and blueprints as they are. Steam will automatically update the game. Steam says "f you'd like to stop Steam from automatically updating a game, select "Only update...

It is exciting to hear about Factorio: Space Age. The Friday Facts have been great to read. I am wondering if I need to consider preserving my current installation of Factorio. I enjoy and know the game well in it current form. While I am looking forward to the new expansion I am mildly concerned th...

Well that was a nice email to wake up to on Saturday here ! Such good news. I can hear the excitement in the developers tone from the announcement...you are obviously pleased in how the game is progressing, the strategy applied and the results so far. I have over 5000 hours in Factorio (yes, retired...

Yes will do. Thank you.

It is now 15 Jul and it has not crashed since my initial report.

No.
I restarted the game, started the newest save (as provided in my upload), did a save of that auto save and then continued playing the game.
In the next 30 minutes or so the game continued to function normally without repeating the problem.

What did you do? I pasted a blueprint. I was in the process of placing items (rail track) over the blueprint What happened? Factorio froze and stopped responding. A Dialog box came up on the screen asking that I send the log file to Factorio via the forum. So that is what I am doing. After I dismiss...

Yes your so right.

terrestrial robot army defenders,
The problem with more focus on war is that there are already a thousand games that focus on that.

I don't even know why I included that given that I mostly play (build) without aliens !

There are no doubt many things that could be added to the one big expansion pack announced by the Factorio Team. I thought that I would jot down a few thoughts that might be OK for the pack. additional raw resources, new manufacturing methods, additional component manufacture, terrestrial robot army...

Excellent!

Let me know and I will be more than happy to contribute $ to the next phase.

I have 4,608 hours in the game (yes I am retired).... I have had more enjoyment and satisfaction from Factorio than any other game. Thank you all.

Congratulations and thank you. I retired a while back and have been playing Factorio for a bit over 4100 hours according to Steam. What a great game. Its been like a hobby for me. I truely appreciate the effort and attention to detail your team applies. You have every right to be proud of what you c...

Update:
Issue can be replicated.
Place a train signal on the track in front of the players current standing position then save the game (or wait for auto save) and game will crash.
