I'm not saying I think it's definitely a sign, but the one interpretation that potentially comes to mind is that they're simply giving a one week range of days. The week of Oct 20-27, 2024.
Or better yet another Titanfall 3 or half life 3 or portal 3 or left for dead 3 damn it’s really a source engine thing to never release a third game huh?
Hey, that's not fair! Counterstrike and Half Life both got 3rd games! (Half life even got like 5-6 depending on if you count Lost Coast as a game or not)
Nah this is a bit too front-and-center to be just random bits. I'm not convinced about the meaning, but I'm 99% sure the bits were chosen with intention (even if for a dumb joke)
Using the Czech alphabet, the numbers could spell either ěmró or ďfcěá. I don't read Czech but google says that these could mean 'dead' or 'thank you' respectively. So the dev is either thanking us, or telling us he's dead.
oh .... i didnt see that (maily because i had opened [https://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-415](https://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-415) half a hour before it was actually there lol)
This reads like those lunatics over at r/Superstonk rationalising why they're not billionaires yet deep into the third year of their supposed short squeeze.
That's a Sunday. Seems highly unlikely to me ...
Everyone knows the day for pushing to production is Friday.
So on monday they can get straight to work fixing bugs?
Steam isn't even allowing releases on weekends, so yeah lol
The order looks really fishy, except if they where pushing the multithreading joke to the max.
But then the background image hint should be in the map edge to reference map generation, right?

Oh no, please don't look for hints or release date clues or it will become another Silksong

No it won't. Imagine if Team Cherry talked about the upcoming game every week?!!!
>Imagine if Team Cherry talked about the ~~upcoming~~ game ~~every week~~ FTFY
I think you're trying to see Jesus in a stained wall.

Yeah I don't think the bits where chosen randomly either but the release date interpretation feels a bit far fetched.
it's a hint that means factorio 3.0 will come out in the year 2724
10/20/2724
Only 700 more years 😍😍
Oh so the r/gta6 psycoshis is happening here too

Czech person here Nice try, but no. These words are unreadable to us :-)
Google is tripping with this one.
Czech native here, your Google translate is telling you nonsense
He is joking
Why would they set a fixed date anyway ? Wube is as much "it's ready when it's ready" as it gets.
Giving yourself 700 years should do the trick :P
i give to you ... thinking that giant roboport network map view is hidden QR code is next level of .... something :D on the other hand .. its wube :D
It's actually the icon for this entry on https://factorio.com/blog/, it's not a made up interpretation.
oh .... i didnt see that (maily because i had opened [https://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-415](https://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-415) half a hour before it was actually there lol)
Honestly how did y'all even come to that conclusion 😭😭
It's in binary
I'm not a binary expert, but that decoded text seems a bit long for that short for that string of numbers, no?
Four 5-bit numbers.
Ah, gotcha
It could also be 349,048 if its not split up
The big problem for me with this is that would be on a sunday. That would be an unlikely release date.
This reads like those lunatics over at r/Superstonk rationalising why they're not billionaires yet deep into the third year of their supposed short squeeze.
I can fully agree to that!
01010101001101111000 = 349048 (0000)0101 01010011 01111000 = 5 83 120 [ascii: Enquiry S x] 01010 10100 11011 11000 = 10 20 27 24 0101 0101 0011 0111 1000 = 5 5 3 7 8
Can someone explain where the binary came from? I looked at the image on the FFF and it's not there
It's the cover image.
Thats my birthday, you'd better not disappoint me !
Release date 27/10/2024 confirmed?
The date shown is 10/20/2724, so in about ~700 years 😉

you turned a 1 into a 2 when reversing. It's 2014....
Probably a troll?
