[IamNic]

Release date:

The fixed release date is the 27th of June 2016.

Things that are done or almost done:

• Tech tree[www.factorio.com]
  
  
• Additional train conditions[www.factorio.com]
  
  
• Turrets revisit - Minimised to flame thrower turret and fire system
  
  
• Better rail building[www.factorio.com]
  
  
• Achievements
  
  
• Multiplayer matching server[www.factorio.com]
  
  
• Basic Multiplayer matching server (allow listing running MP games via a central location)
  
  
• Modules in blueprints
  
  
• Power switch
  
  
• Blueprint book
  
  
• Safe rail crossing
  
  
• Search field (recipes, technologies, filters, stations and maybe more)
  
  
• and a lot of small things

These are to be finished:

• Circuit network additions
  
  
• Redo of the train graphics and fixing the train distances, so they are whole tiles and vertical and horizontal distances are the same.
  
  
• Graphical GUI redesign - one of the big things that just had to be done sooner or later, we will definitely talk about it in detail in the future FFF
  
  
• Native mod portal integration
  
  
• Resource generation overhaul.
  
  
• The Loader
  
  
• and a lot of small things as well

Stuff that had to be postponed to 0.14, so they can deliver the rest:

• Spidertron
  
  
• Fluid wagon
  
  
• Artillery turret
  
  
• Higher tier mining drill

Roadmap to 0.13?

Hey guys,

I just bought the game because it looks quite interesting to me and I wanted to support the developers. However, I read that the game currently does not have proper Steam support yet which is supposed to be added with version 0.13 alongside some other additions.

Have the developers indicated when that release may hit Steam? The only thing I could find is this post[forums.factorio.com] on their official forums, however, it seems a bit dated, so I am unsure what the actual plans are now. I'd probably hold off with playing the game if the patch is around the corner since I am still occupied with another game at the moment and I'd rather play the game with the new features + Steamworks.

According to the devs (one post latley) they try to get it out in 1 to 3 month. I do not know if this is then first an experimantal relase and if experimentals hit steam.

Hi ultio,

from what I have heard it still could take 2-3 months until 0.13 will be released.

The developers won't release it until everything works perfectly, so if they run into any major issues it could take longer, if everything works on the first try it could be faster.

That is all I can say regarding that question.

Thanks, I'll keep an eye out for news and definitely check the game out before 0.13 hits Steam in that case.

Since Steam pre-release you just need to follow the game on Steam. The blog entries have been duplicated in the announcements already for 2 Fridays.

With dedicated servers you usually can join your friends via Steam.

The problem is I don't have a public IP. Even after "try hard and overlook imperfections", it doesn't work

Thanks for the quick response on achievements.
I am disappointed to see that you're looking at speedrun achievements in a "game about building and creating automated factories to produce items of increasing complexity" :(

Factorio looks like a game genre of its own and I believe it would benefit from creativity on that matter. Game's on my wishlist, keep up the good work
