Engine Upgrade coming to ExperimentalSep 21, 2021 - Community AnnouncementsHi Pioneers! Today’s is the release of the Unreal Engine Upgrade 4.26 to Experimental branch, this update does not include new gameplay related content but there’s still some new stuff as we’re testing out DirectX12 and Vulkan implementation, we’ve made some changes to the conveyor rendering system which should improve performance ™️, we have also fixed a few bugs here and there but due to the nature of Engine Upgrades we’ve likely introduced a lot more new ones so… You can let us know over at our QA site if you find any annoying bugs or if anything is blocking your progress https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/ We’ll try to fix them ASAP Properties > Local Files > Verify integrity of game files...

Vehicle Automation and Truck Station changesSep 10, 2021 - Community AnnouncementsHowdy y'all! We've got more info for you all, hot off the press, regarding some things that are coming in Update 5! This week we're addressing some of the feedback we've received up to this point regarding vehicle automation in the game! If you're curious then read on and if you want to see some of these changes in action and get a little more in-depth information about this topic then check out the video we put out on these changes! Truck Station Before we get into the vehicle automation system changes let's talk a little about the Truck Station! The Truck Station has gotten a fresh look in the game with an updated model. The new Truck Station now supports two inputs and outputs so its throughput has doubled! We're also updating the UI for truck station to make it clearer and with some extra information in there such as the average fuel consumption by all vehicles using the station. It also shows how many items are loaded/unloaded. Vehicle Automation System Before we dive into the changes to the vehicle systems, I just want to say that we haven't made any changes to the vehicles themselves for this update. However, what we have focused on is improving the reliability of the automation of vehicles. Vehicle Pathing We've made some changes to the underlaying systems that make sure vehicles follow their designated path. Previously vehicles would only look towards their next waypoint whereas now they will instead take future waypoints into consideration making their pathing much more reliable. They're still not going to behave 100% the way they did when you recorded their paths, but they'll handle their pathing much more accurately than ever before. We've also improved movement visuals for vehicles when they're viewed from a long distance. Better Obstacle Handling We've also introduced a basic system to better handle obstacle your vehicle may come across. This means that if during the vehicle's route, if it were to bump into anything blocking the path, the vehicle would then try and correct its current pathing to avoid the obstacle. Now, it bears mentioning that vehicles will only handle these cases as they happen. They won't recalculate their full path if something suddenly blocks off the existing one so the vehicles will only handle obstacles sort of as they happen. Vehicle Ghosting In cases where your vehicle does get completely stuck (or falls off a cliff, or something else) and it doesn't manage to find a way to return to its designated path then as a last resort the vehicle will, with science, find its way back on track. We refer to this as the vehicle ghosting its way back to its designated route. Alright look. I'm no sciencestician. I don't know how this works. Ficsit inc. developed some kind of technology for these cases to ensure absolute efficiency for their vehicles. It's all good. Let's move on. Fuel Consumption Fuel consumption is now handled based on each vehicle route so that vehicles will only take as much fuel as they need to finish...Early Access Update v0.4.2.11Sep 9, 2021 - Community AnnouncementsHi Pioneers! Today’s patch is also being released on the Experimental version to bring both Experimental and Early Access to parity, including some newly added updates to translations.

Thank you all for playing our game, see you all again soon Satisfactory update 5 has a rampload of new cosmetics and structure partsSep 5, 2021 - PC GamerIf you, like me, know that a well-organized and aesthetically pleasing factory is a beautiful factory, then I have a treat for you. As we've known for a few weeks now, Satisfactory update 5 is on the way, and in addition to some map reworks it'll hit with a bunch of wonderful new cosmetic, structural, and foundation pieces for factory-building... Read more.New Build Pieces and Build System ChangesSep 3, 2021 - Community AnnouncementsHey everyone! In the past few weeks we've been dropping a couple of teasers on our socials and YouTube for new cosmetic buildables coming in Update 5 and today we're gonna drop all the juicy details surrounding what we've teased so far. But we're not only gonna talk about stuff you've seen! We're also going to reveal some changes coming to the build system in the game! 👀 👇 If you want to see these changes in action then Jace got ya covered in this video! 👇 New Cosmetic Buildables In Update 5 there's going to be a ton of new build pieces but also some changes to existing ones! Pillars Pillars now come in multiple sizes and types! There is now a smaller sized pillar (and it's matching base and top) for cases where the regular pillars were just a tad too big. There are also three types of pillars now: steel, concrete, and frame pillars. Railings/Fences Along with the regular fences there are now also half railings and barriers! Railings can be placed on ramps now as well, so that's neat. Roofing A new addition to the game: roofs! They will be available in different types, for example: regular, metal, and glass roofing! Beams BEAMS!!! That's right! Beams are a new way to help organize power pole connectors, run conveyor belts, or just fill out your factory in a nice way! There's also a beam connector to help connect and create various shapes with the beams. Walkways We have given the walkways a bit of a face lift to better fit the aesthetic of the new railings. We have also added stair walkways! ✨ Frames Last but not least, we've included more frame types! You can now also build frame walls, ramps, pillars, and floors! Build System Changes Quick Switch When placing buildables it is now possible to quickly swap between similar build objects by tapping 'E' (or any button you rebind it to). This is similar to the radial menu popping up when holding the button, but it gives you just a little quicker access to cycle between different ramp sizes or wall types while you're building stuff. Soft & Hard Clearance If you remember during the launch of Update 4 we addressed something community called the "cheatcrete" which was bug where some foundations in the game didn't have any collision when building. This bug made it possible to create temporary scaffolding when placing conveyor belts and other buildables. In Update 4 this bug was resolved but we ended up reintroducing this bug because it limited some of the creative build aspects of the game. Since then, we've taken a step back to solve the underlying problem of the build system to fill up the space that is the cheatcrete. In Update 5 we're going to introduce Hard Clearance and Soft Clearance. Patent pending. Any building with "functionality" (i.e., constructors, manufacturers, power switches, power poles, HUB, etc.) will have hard clearance and any cosmetic pieces, conveyor belts, and pipes will have soft clearance. This means that you'll have more freedom to place your cosmetic buildables in any way you w...Update 5 first look!Aug 20, 2021 - Community AnnouncementsWhat's up y'all!

Peace! /SnutterOnly one of Epic's 'first wave' of exclusives made money, and it wasn't MetroAug 5, 2021 - PC GamerEpic Games, we learned courtesy of a likewise epic document dump in the midst of its lawsuit with Apple, is spending mountains of money to make games exclusive to its store—which is fine, because it's got mountains of money to spend, and big plans for the future. But a more recently released document, seen via Simon Carless' GameDiscoverCo newsletter, indicates that there was actually one game in Epic's "first wave" of exclusives, released between December 2018 and June 2019, that made money for Epic...

See you again soon Quick Update on State of DevelopmentJun 18, 2021 - Community AnnouncementsHey everyone! It's been a little quiet lately from our end but I just wanted to let y'all know that we're knee deep in working on Update 5! We don't have anything exciting to show just yet but I'll give y'all a little run down on what general development info we have at the moment for Satisfactory! If you don't feel like reading and would rather get this information in video format then we got ya covered in this video right here! When is Update 5 coming out? Update 5 is slated for release sometime this fall (2021). If you've been with us before you know that we generally won't announce any exact dates until we feel super confident that we can meet them. We'll announce more about the release date for Update 5 once we know more. What's in Update 5? This is still a little bit secret, but once we get further into development we're going to start revealing/teasing content for update 5 through our regular channels. Make sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel if you want to be notified about any info on Update 5 as this is where we'll post teasers and info first. However, one thing we can say is that we're working on improving the build modes in the game. When we released update 4 we fixed some bugs related to collision to some of the foundations (aka the cheatcrete™) which resulted in some of the freedom being lost while building in the game. Which sucks. So we reintroduced this bug again! In Update 5 we're focusing on improving the build mechanics in the game so that we can see even more creative builds in the future with having to rely on a bug! As with any update there's also going to be a bunch of optimization and bug fixes coming. This includes fixes for multiplayer. What's the status of Dedicated Servers We're-still-working-on-it™. There's a number of lingering issues with multiplayer that we still need to address before we can launch dedicated servers as currently only the host is able to resolve these issues and with a dedicated server there will be no host around to do so. I know it's been a long time coming and it's sort of a meme at this point but we're doing what we can to get them available as soon as feasibly possible. What else is coming to Satisfactory at-some-point™? There have been a few other things we've confirmed are going to make it in the game at some point before we hit 1.0, and here's a few of them! Signs Kinda self-explanatory. But yes, signs will be coming at some point! We can't imagine Satisfactory hitting 1.0 without signs. In the meantime you can always use the power switches as a sort of lame work around. Or train stations, they also got a text box on them. Not the best solution maybe. I dunno. Train collision/signaling system Ever since we first introduced trains to the game we've always wanted to do more with them. Having some form of train signaling system and/or collisions to trains is something we've been planning to add so expect some improvements to trains sometime in before 1.0.

There shouldn’t be any new issues from this upgrade but if there are any please let us know over at our QA site https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/ and we will try to solve them ASAP. Thank you all for playing our game Experimental Update v0.4.2.1Apr 26, 2021 - Community AnnouncementsHi Pioneers! Hello again everybody, it’s been a while, today we’re releasing this patch for the Experimental version with a lot of things that might affect the modding community so we want to get some feedback on whether things are okay or not before we move it to the Early Access version. There’s a few fixes that made its way over here because why not, but the focus is the modding related changes, if you’re comfortably playing and using mods you might want to stick to the Early Access version instead as this update might break them for a while. If there’s some newly introduced issues with this update that aren’t mod related, you can let us know over at our QA site as usual https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/ We read all of your posts. Until next time, take care everybody
