Factorio 2.0.77 Patch Notes (21st May 2026)
Factorio 2.0.77 lands with a pile of crash fixes, a nasty rocket silo bug resolved, and a small but useful scripting addition for mod authors.
Twenty-plus fixes in a single patch is a solid day's work, and 2.0.77 dropping today is a reminder that Wube's post-launch support pace hasn't slowed down. Most of this update is crash elimination, which is exactly what you want to see from a live game.
The headline fix for survival players is the rocket silo correction: previously, the silo could launch satellites even when the cargo landing pad wouldn't have room to hold the launch products. That's the sort of bug that wastes resources in ways that are hard to diagnose mid-session. Also fixed are inserter logic issues around stack size signals and recipe changes with fluid product overload, both of which could cause silent inefficiencies in complex factory builds without any obvious error to trace.
On the scripting side, mod authors get LuaEntity::send_to_orbit_automatically as a new read/write property, plus the missing Lua defines for cargo landing pad logistic points. Small additions, but the kind that unblock mod features that were previously awkward to implement. The Mods GUI also now surfaces a proper error instead of restarting the game when dependency conflicts are unresolved, which should save a few headaches.
Here's everything that changed.
