Satisfactory

Although it arrived in the shadow of both Factorio and Rimworld, thanks to successive updates and enhancements, Satisfactory has transcended its influences and found an identity of its own. The full edition from back in September introduced the last tier of Project Assembly, portals, the converter, and the final version of the Hub.

Hello again everyone, Here is another patch for Experimental, today we have a much bigger change that improves our Foliage, Lightweight, Recipe and Schematics systems to overcome multiple networking bottlenecks that we’ve had in the past While playing in Multiplayer and Dedicated Servers, you could end up in situations where after removing large amounts of foliage, foliage might stop replicating completely, resulting in foliage being non-interactable or not properly disappearing, the same could happen to buildables like Foundations and Walls among others after building many of them. We’ve made improvements that should result in less strain on Unreal Engine’s replication system leading to an improved multiplayer experience, they should also alleviate the “Reliable Buffer Overflow” issues on joining a session, as well as addressing additional side issues like interacting with the Advanced Game Settings menu during multiplayer kicking you out of a session With this, there should be a significant improvement in how fast foliage and buildables are loaded, compared to joining a save and seeing buildables and foliage pop in and out of existence or have them be uninteractable Since changes in Experimental might have some unexpected side effects, please BACKUP YOUR SAVES before trying it out You can find your saves in: %LocalAppData%/FactoryGame/Saved/SaveGames/ There should be a folder with a lot of numbers, that is your Steam/Epic ID and that folder will contain your saves, you can copy this folder somewhere else If you would like to know more about this change and the previous changes added to experimental you should watch our video on them by our community manager Mikael https://youtu.be/Z3UtGdftZbc If you would like to quickly access the Experimental version, first BACKUP YOUR SAVES and then: For Steam: Then right click the Game on Steam > Properties > Betas > Beta Participation > Select Experimental For Epic: Look in your game library for “Satisfactory Experimental” from there you can install it And don’t forget to BACKUP YOUR SAVES before you start playing We’re very curious to hear about your experience with this latest patch so please let us know over at our QA Site if you encounter any new issues https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/ We appreciate all of your feedback And remember, If the Experimental release turns out to be too unstable for you, you can always switch back to the default version of the game and restore your save game and continue enjoying Satisfactory as usual See you all again soon Experimental Update v1.0.1.5Feb 18, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsHi Pioneers! Hello again everyone, Today we are reopening Experimental again! From now on we intend to use Experimental to properly implement bigger bug fixes, programming changes or optimizations without compromising the current 1.0 experience for those who are comfortably playing in the 1.0 default version of Satisfactory This should also help with reducing the frequency of patches/downloads necessary for the majority of players since we’ll space out a bit more when we will move Experimental versions into the default version once they have been stabilized Since changes in Experimental might have some unexpected side effects, please BACKUP YOUR SAVES before trying it out You can find your saves in: %LocalAppData%/FactoryGame/Saved/SaveGames/ There should be a folder with a lot of numbers, that is your Steam/Epic ID and that folder will contain your saves, you can copy this folder somewhere else The fixes today involve the Customizer, Lightweight Buildables as well as a Dedicated server fix and some crash fixes, if you would like to know more about the changes in detail you should watch our video on them by our community manager Mikael https://youtu.be/Z3UtGdftZbc If you would like to quickly access the Experimental version, first BACKUP YOUR SAVES and then: For Steam: Then right click the Game on Steam > Properties > Betas > Beta Participation > Select Experimental For Epic: Look in your game library for “Satisfactory Experimental” from there you can install it And don’t forget to BACKUP YOUR SAVES before you start playing If we happened to introduce any new issues with these changes, please let us know over at our QA Site https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/ We appreciate all of your feedback If the Experimental release turns out to be too unstable for you, you can always switch back to the default version of the game and restore your save game and continue enjoying Satisfactory as usual See you all again soon Best Sandbox 2024: SatisfactoryDec 26, 2024 - PC GamerCoal for Christmas?
