Agreed: now is a great time to be a new player. (Next release should be even better but the difference between 0.17 and 1.0 won't be as significant as the difference between 0.16 and 0.17.)
Even the small changes that weren't advertised as much are great. For example, blacklist filter inserters. That sounds amazing
And Changed personal roboports so they won't send construction robots if you're driving in a vehicle that they can't keep up with or if in a train in automatic mode. Made me almost cry in happiness
