Factorio Multiplayer is Stable
After five months as an experimental release, Factorio 0.11 has been released as stable, meaning that for the first time multiplayer is available without a load of bugs.
Multiplayer has added a huge amount of playability to Factorio as it’s much more fun to build a factory on an alien planet with your mates (although it is still really fun to build factories by yourself).
The Factorio team are now moving towards the release of 0.12, which will focus on optimisations to allow players to create even larger factory systems,as well as improving the way railways can be designed and beginning to implement end game content. They hope to get an experimental release of 0.12 out in the next couple of months.
The team also hope to get Factorio onto Steam.
