Schrödinger’s versioning: you don’t know if it’s stable or not until you observe something breaking.
Experimental: 1.1.104
Stable: We are trying to get there some day
To me that just reads as “development has ended.”
Which it kinda has for Factorio, because their current development branch is unreleased, the whole 2.0 expansion pack thing.
I figured there was an explanation like that. I also thought maybe they just had parallel version names for stable and experimental. Still reads funny to me.
I recommend you read the FFFs if you want to see the devel branch. I’m a little behind but it’s amazing and exciting.
Factorio FFFs and Zomboid ThurZdoids are that things that are very satisfying to read during the very very long breaks between the updates.
I’m pretty sure hotfixes are still being released. It’s more so that there are two release streams, stable and unstable, and when there isn’t a new unstable release, the unstable stream is just on the same version as the stable stream.
If there was any developer I’d trust with this, it’d be Wube.

This usually happens when preview builds have been tested and they are just promoted to a stable release, and newer builds aren’t just there yet. This is neither an “obvious indication” of pushing immediately to prod, nor this is an “abandoned software” by any means. Could be, but matching dev-prod versions don’t necessarily mean that.
Schrodinger version then
Either you installed the stable version or unstable versionTo be fair, Factorio experimental is more stable than 99,99% of released games.
The factorio devs are sexist, reactionary, arseholes :(
downvoted why? am I wrong? or are you just mad that they’re not as good as their game?
Wasn’t aware of the controversy, what did they do?
Edit: Nevermind found it elsewhere in the comments

Mindustry is better
Different games for different people.
[…] for different people.
Actually I’m sure that player bases of both games have a huge overlap
