Summary
Gameplay & Balancing
Factorio 2.0.55 introduces a significant balance change to vehicle handling; the Tank and other car-driving vehicles now receive a portion of their fuel and equipment speed bonuses as a turning rate increase. Additionally, landmines now explode when killed, and turret ranges are now visible while ghost-placing new turrets.
Technical & Bug Fixes
This update is primarily focused on stability, resolving dozens of potential crashes related to space platforms, logistic filters, and remote view interactions. It also addresses critical logic errors in belt dragging, railgun turret cooldowns, and asteroid collection efficiency.
Modding & Scripting
Extensive new Lua hooks have been added, particularly for the Space Age expansion content, including new properties for Agricultural Towers, Lightning Attractors, and Solar Panels, alongside a new 'valve' entity type.
