Hello,
we present you the regular batch of bugfixes and polishing, we took 2 weeks for this version to avoid having too many bogus updates.
We also tried to fix the demo/alpha campaign missions so you are free to report bugs in those from now on :)
Scenario pack is not updated though. (We need to do a lot of rebalancing as the recipes changed)

P.S. The linux release is delayed until tomorrow.
  • Bugfixes:
    • Fixed crash when train stop is built in blueprint before rails.
    • Fixed bug when crude oil barrels couldn't be unloaded.
    • Added missing recipes for productivity module.
    • Fixed bug when belts to ground could be built on top of each other.
    • Fixed bug with items not going into fast / express belt to ground.
    • Barrel filling was affectable by the production module.
    • Fixed segfault at research screen after researching tool belt
    • Fixed missing translation after loading game in campaigns.
    • Fixed bug with mining drill getting stuck on low yield resource.
    • Fixed overflowing effects in the technology preview gui.
    • Displaying car rotations when building it.
    • Unified the smelting recipes time to mean seconds in the stone furnace.
    • Train stop and Lab built from the blueprint have proper dedicated to names.
    • Fixed stucked items on transport belt in special case.
    • Enabled inserter to take fuel out of the boiler.
    • Fixed drawing of equipment and some of the icons in low-graphics mod.
    • Fix of some of the icons scale in low graphics mode
    • Fixed bug with chemical plant draining the fluid from the pipes.
    • Tweaked what "size" setting does for resources.
    • Fixed that repair sound ignored sound volume settings.
    • Fixed that inserter couldn't (inconsistently regards to logistic robots) take out of the red (limited) part of the inventory. The limitation is now just for input.
    • Fixed clouds drawing in low-graphics mode.
    • Fixed that trying to build trains as ghost did create corrupted rails.
    • Crafting gui has the size that fits all groups, so it don't change size when switching groups.
    • Right gui container doesn't change size when certain entities selected.
    • Fixed bounding box + connectability of underground belt build by blueprint.
    • Items in the selection guis (quickbar filter, logistic filter, etc.) are ordered into subgroups.
    • Fixed offshore direction when building using blueprint.
  • Changes:
    • Assembling Machine Recipe Gui shows all the recipes, but those that are not craftable are show in red (consistent with character recipe gui).
    • Assembling Machines 2 and 3 have an input and output pipe. Electric engine unit, processing unit, filling and emptying barrels is done here.
    • Locomotive can be fed by fuel even off station when not moving (on signal, out of fuel etc.)
  • Balancing:
    • Poison capsules hurt worms as well.
    • Engine unit doesn't need lubricant (so car and trains don't require the oil industry).
    • Fixed: Replacing underground belt's end unearthes items
    • Pipe to ground is up to 10 tiles long.
    • Disabled enemy spawn shift (but this might not be the cause for big biters in the beginning).
    • Express belts require lubricant (because they need to run extra smooth).
    • Changed the amount of wood in dry tree from 1 -> 4
  • Graphics:
    • New assembling machines.
    • New inserters.
    • New copper wire.
    • New light cone.
    • New dark entity info background (the old one can be still switched in graphics settings).
  • Scripting:
    • Added clearchart method to luaForce.
    • Destroying/adding custom gui element will correctly update the size and position of parent elements holding it.
  • Modding:
    • Offshore pump can specify the fluid it will produce.
    • Max on row/resize row to width in flow style can be specified.
    • Pipe to ground can have multiple underground connections.
    • Inserters can have arbitrary pickup and insert positions (this allows 90 degrees inserters).
    • Transport belt to ground max distance is now moddable (max_distance).

I assume we should remove the hotfix that you guys made for 9.1?

Great, now I need to reorganise my factory again.

Well, this one was starting to get boring anyway.

All saves that I got are broken, even when dissabling mods.
Well... even saves done with this version cant be loaded.
I guess the problem is this thread and GUIs

Just tried it out, the Ore generation is still just as screwed up as it was in 9.0.
Ores with "small" sometimes end up with giant patches of the ore and other ores with "Very Big" are barely large enough to fit a single drill.

The generation function seems to have a ceiling as to amount generated.

What I've found is setting frequency to low or very low, and size to big or very big results in very big but spaced out patches.

Also of note, regarding Oil generation, selecting a low richness value will result in more patches being generated which is a different behavior compared to the other types of resource generation.

This is observed behavior regarding 0.9.1, I will post back if the generation behavior has changed since then.

My saves works fine but i something is different with electric furnaces.
I'm using DyTech Industrial Grinders to produce dust. Before dust was smelting in 1,2sek. now it takes ~40sek. My entire factory stopped because i don't have enough plates.
