Minor Features

• Added radar minimap visualization for roboports and cargo landing pads. https://forums.factorio.com/117994
  
• Cargo pod scheduling reworked to send larger and more spaced out deliveries. This should improve the frequency of trickling space science and material drops.
  
• Dragging and dropping a blueprint file into the game window will import the file contents as a blueprint string.
  
• Dragging and dropping text into the game window on X11 will import the text as a blueprint string.
  
• Factoriopedia now shows recycling recipes for each item.
  
• Re-added the sandbox scenario questionnaire.
  
• [space-age] Added "Nauvis Bus" and "Nauvis Power Up" menu simulations.
  
• [space-age] Added camera views to Space platform tooltips.

Balancing

• [space-age] Changed rocket fuel from ammonia recipe to require the same amount of solid fuel as the main rocket fuel recipes to prevent a recycling loop. https://forums.factorio.com/122574
  
• [space-age] Land mines on space platforms now damage the space platform tiles in a radius.

Changes

• Attack groups containing stompers or strafers will now contain fewer units.
  
• Changed selector combinator circuit wire reach to be the same as wire reach of other combinators.
  
• Inserters (especially ghost long handed ones) spawn in stretched to an appropriate distance.
  
• Large egg rafts will try to have at least one stomper or strafer spawned at a time.
  
• Removed default secondary keybinding for redo action on AZERTY keyboards as it collided with super force building while moving up. https://forums.factorio.com/124377
  
• Reverted fix for god controller being able to zoom out to map view. https://forums.factorio.com/123675
  
• Small egg rafts no longer absorb pollution because they will never produce stompers or strafers.
  
• Space age mods no longer count as "has mods" in the server browser. https://forums.factorio.com/117812
  
• Tweaked how entities are selected in remote view when using a gamepad. The entity directly under the crosshair is much more likely to be selected.
  
• Wrigglers will no longer proactively attack pollen emitters. However, they will still respond to artillery.

Graphics

• Aquilo icebergs have longer shadows to integrate with the world better.
  
• Asteroid collector tentacles have less colourful rainbow effect on them.
  
• Changed the Rocket part icon to look more like a part of the rocket.
  
• [space-age] Changed the Space crafting category icon to look like a cargo pod instead of rocket silo.

Optimizations

• Improved GUI performance when logistics status diode is part of the structure. https://forums.factorio.com/124660
  
• Improved asteroid collector performance - we estimate it should be 5x - 15x faster when there are thousands of asteroid chunks on the map. https://forums.factorio.com/118736
  
• Improved asteroid update performance by up to 20%.
