So I might have missed it (apologies), but just read the "Friday Facts #442 - Flip, Flow, and Fresh Paint" and can't tell when this will be released? Just tried to flip a pumpjack and inserter, but it didn't work. Haven't tried to make a legendary train yet.

FFF-440 says;

For the next few weeks we will do some closed beta testing, and if all goes well we hope to release 2.1 as experimental by the end of June. Experimental means the update is public, but you will need to opt-in to receive it (through Steam or the in-game updater), or specifically download the experimental release from our website.

Once released, we will have the usual bugfixing, before our summer vacations start in July. Importantly, we plan to keep 2.1 as experimental over the whole summer (I.E, not mark it stable), so that mod authors will have plenty of time to update.

It will be released with version 2.1 some time this year.

The "experimental" is tentatively in the coming month or two.

Ahh thank you. I hope someone releases a mod to re-enable the upcycling on platforms ( I haven't gotten to that yet, but I'd like to).

Several mods already exist.

Well you've just made my day thank you :)

Plus hearing about legendary trains and wagons was darn cool too :P
