Several hidden and dangerous bugs fixed, it might uncover some not so hidden bugs.
We are starting to be quite content with the stability, the next release will be a stable candidate (it was about time).

• Features
  • Blueprints can be built over things marked for deconstruction.
  • Blueprints can be force placed using alternative build mode (shift click).
• Balancing
  • Increased the cargo wagon inventory size (20->30).
  • Increased the crafting cost of the cargo wagon and locomotive.
• Bugfixes
  • Fixed save corruption (rare probability) related to rendering alerts and saving the map.
  • Fixed crash in map editor when changing / setting assembling machine recipe (https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... php?t=8997).
  • Fixed desync loop when changing player force via script - in PvP mod for instance (https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... php?t=9053)
  • Added explaining text for the second new hope campaign supplies objectives. (that the car supplies count only the user is in the car)
  • The flamethrower fluid input order is the same as before, so it matches the refinery outputs.
  • Fixed clearing the cursor while attempting to repair something (https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... php?t=8986).
  • Fixed that changing force of roboport (in map editor or by a script) didn't update the connections properly.
  • Roboports now behave correctly when teleported using scripts.
  • Fixed that some of the technology icons were scaled down in the technology selection.
  • Fixed that the Not minable checkbox was set based on the Indestructible value in the map editor.
  • Fixed that the two way signals weren't possible to build on diagonal rails. (https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... php?t=9003)
  • Fixed copy-paste for Cargo wagons not activating inserters.
  • Fixed copy-paste for entities with inventory limits not copying the limit.
  • Fixed that the "Electric demand satisfaction" label was not translatable.
  • Removing and merging the locomotive of a train without any additional locomotives doesn't clear the schedule anymore.
  • The line height in the debug info is dependent on the scale, so they don't overlap or take too much space on different scales.
  • Fixed "Trying to make chunk at unreasonable position" caused by some vehicle collisions. (https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... php?t=8812)
  • Fixed weird behaviour and bad damage calculations when colliding with multiple objects while in a car or tank.
• Changes
  • Small change of collision box of curved rail, so the underground belts can be built on one additional particular position.
  • Car and tank movement should be better. Tank should no longer get stuck. Tank can now destroy objects by accelerating into them even when standing still (https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... php?t=9046)
• Scripting
  • Fixed that non valid require did crash the game instead of giving proper error message.
  • Setting technology as finished using the script also fires the ontechnologyresearched event.
  • Order to chart a big area doesn't slow the game horribly anymore. (https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... php?t=9050)
  • Added onresourcedepleted - called when a resource is depleted to its minimum yield or 0. Passes the resource entity as event.entity.
  • Car prototype now uses "energy_per_hit_point" instead of "crash_damage_multiplier", consistent with train prototypes.
• Modding
  • Moved the player hit tint color into the player prototype.

Same problem, auto-update stops with the message that the factorio binary is bad.
Nice update annyways

Great update with, as usual, a lot of work ! Thanks for it !

Look out if you have filtered cargo wagons! Wish I'd read the notes before upgrading, I should have paused all my trains.

Nice update though!

It seems that cars now also do much more damage if you drive against players or buildings. I don't know if that is deliberately so.

my power production goes negative..well just the bar but i produce 0W

edit: nevermind it fixed itself...

Tnx for the great update

Increased rail car capacity ..... force placing blueprints, I cried tears of joy!!!

In all seriousness, great update. Keep them coming, the game is already great and getting better with each update.

Should it be better to make a cargo wagon inventory size researchable?

thanks for the update, guys. looking forward to the stable version so I can move up from 0.11.14 and enjoy all the new changes.

They are as good as stable you know?

It is. I believe that driving a car into something at full speed should do some damage

yup. damage increased. we testet it with 2 player, 2 cars to full speed into a forrest. we stoped after a few trees. in the old version u coudnt hit one tree that way. guess 1 energy per hit point is too much for the car. maybe 0.5?
