| 1s | hi hey hello good morning uh my name is |
| 5s | snood I'm one of the community managers |
| 7s | at coffee stain Studios and you know |
| 8s | welcome to another video with me in it I |
| 10s | guess uh |
| 12s | today we're going to be talking about |
| 14s | what you can expect to see from us for |
| 16s | the rest of this year as well as what's |
| 18s | coming up in the next update so ooh |
| 20s | exciting all right uh it's been a busy |
| 23s | year and while you may not have seen too |
| 25s | much new content from us this year |
| 26s | there's been a lot of things going on |
| 28s | behind the scenes so I just want to like |
| 30s | quickly catch you up so if you've seen |
| 32s | any of our recent streams or YouTube |
| 33s | videos you may know that we've shifted |
| 35s | development of the game towards leaving |
| 37s | early access and finalizing the game for |
| 39s | 1.0 this means that all decisions we're |
| 41s | taking regarding development of the game |
| 43s | prioritize this goal and in the past we |
| 46s | sort of focused on like purely on |
| 47s | developing towards the next major update |
| 49s | but now our attention is sort of divided |
| 51s | between you know finishing content for |
| 52s | the future release of the game as well |
| 55s | as whatever content we intend to release |
| 56s | along the way such as update six and |
| 58s | seven as of right now this is what we're |
| 60s | currently working on so since the launch |
| 63s | of update 5 last year we've been working |
| 64s | on content intended to be part of the |
| 67s | final release of the game this is new |
| 69s | content that we haven't shown off yet |
| 71s | and won't show off until the final |
| 73s | release of the game and this includes |
| 76s | but is not limited to you know sort of |
| 78s | what the functionality of those like |
| 79s | items that you can pick up in the world |
| 81s | is and like Sam and that stuff and a |
| 84s | narrative to be told along with the |
| 86s | existing gameplay The Narrative by the |
| 88s | way is not going to take like the center |
| 89s | stage or anything like that it's going |
| 90s | to be told sort of on the sidelines of |
| 92s | the main game uh because satisfactory is |
| 95s | first and foremost a factory building |
| 97s | sandbox while working on this we're also |
| 99s | working on releasing another smaller |
| 101s | update this year that we refer to as |
| 103s | update seven and yes uh you heard that |
| 106s | right we're planning to release this |
| 108s | update this year so more on that in a |
| 110s | bit we're also working on the map itself |
| 112s | there's still a bunch of work left when |
| 114s | it comes to finishing up massage to ABB |
| 116s | and some of these changes may or may not |
| 118s | impact your factories with some you know |
| 120s | new Grown vegetation we've done this |
| 122s | dance before there will be no new biomes |
| 124s | added to the game but we are planning on |
| 126s | removing an area called Paradise Island |
| 128s | because it is right on the border of the |
| 130s | map and it's kind of close to the Keel |
| 131s | plane and we don't play plan to add |
| 133s | anything there in any way so since it's |
| 135s | a bit and ties into build there and it's |
| 136s | a bit weird with it being so close to |
| 138s | the kill plane we feel that it's |
| 139s | probably for the better if we just uh |
| 141s | you know |
| 142s | take it out behind the shed another |
| 145s | thing of note is that we've decided to |
| 147s | revamp the red bamboo fields that were |
| 149s | previously marked as being close to |
| 151s | finish so expect some mild to |
| 153s | significant changes to foliage and |
| 154s | Landscape in that area I've supplied an |
| 157s | updated version of the planned map |
| 158s | changes we're making so if you're |
| 159s | interested in that please check the |
| 161s | description and it is yet to be |
| 163s | determined sort of when these new world |
| 165s | updates will be released so we'll see |
| 167s | there are several system overhauls and |
| 169s | performance improvements we were |
| 170s | currently working on continuously along |
| 172s | with everything else that's going on for |
| 174s | the most part these are released |
| 176s | alongside the regular updates of the |
| 177s | game but occasionally we made a |
| 179s | standalone patches where you know we |
| 181s | wanted to test something with them or we |
| 183s | wanted your feedback on something so but |
| 185s | yeah for the most part every update we |
| 188s | release contain a number of fixes for |
| 189s | performance and multiplayer anyways so |
| 191s | they tend to go into those and lastly |
| 193s | we're also working on dedicated server |
| 195s | support at the moment dedicated server |
| 196s | support is still experimental and it is |
| 198s | available but there's still a lot of |
| 200s | work left for them similar to the |
| 202s | previous mentioned track dedicated |
| 204s | server improvements tend to be nestled |
| 205s | into other updates for the most part for |
| 207s | the overall production of the game we're |
| 208s | quite happy with how things are going |
| 209s | but we don't really know exactly when |
| 212s | the whole game will be fully finished as |
| 214s | we're still trying to figure out exactly |
| 215s | what a feature complete satisfactory |
| 217s | will consist of so now that we've gone |
| 219s | over the overall work that's going on |
| 221s | let's dive into Update 7 specifically so |
| 224s | Update 7 is going to be another small |
| 226s | update in fact it's going to be even |
| 228s | smaller than update 6. there are a few |
| 230s | reasons for this it's partly because we |
| 232s | want to get some changes into the game |
| 233s | sooner rather than later so we can get |
| 235s | some feedback from you all so now we can |
| 237s | get keep it on it going forward but also |
| 239s | because of some overall scheduling |
| 241s | reasons the plan is to release this |
| 243s | update on experimental in November and |
| 245s | subsequently patch it up so it's ready |
| 246s | to release on the Early Access Branch |
| 248s | before the end of this year what exactly |
| 250s | this update will contain fluctuates a |
| 252s | little bit because the production window |
| 254s | for this update is pretty short so it's |
| 256s | hard to say you know exactly what will |
| 258s | be ready in time for this update it sort |
| 260s | of boils down to what we can manage to |
| 262s | get done done within the time frame but |
| 264s | let's go through a couple of things that |
| 265s | we know today will be in update 7. so |
| 268s | something that's been highly requested |
| 270s | by you all is the addition of multiple |
| 272s | game modes was satisfactory this is |
| 274s | something that we've confirmed in the |
| 275s | past that we want to include and in |
| 277s | Update 7 we plan to make an initial |
| 279s | release of this now there's a long list |
| 283s | of requested game modes on our QA site |
| 286s | uh some more likely to happen than |
| 288s | others so I thought I'd take a moment to |
| 290s | address a couple of them one of the most |
| 292s | highly requested game modes is creative |
| 294s | mode this is something that we intend to |
| 296s | add to the game eventually but not until |
| 299s | we are closer to the final release as we |
| 302s | still sort of need to collect feedback |
| 303s | regarding the balancing of the game and |
| 305s | we feel that if we introduce a creative |
| 307s | mode it will sort of Muddy the waters |
| 309s | and potentially get conflating feedback |
| 311s | from most of the player base so creative |
| 313s | mode will come just not until 1.0 |
| 316s | probably another popular request is some |
| 318s | form of peaceful mode where creatures |
| 320s | won't attack the player and this is |
| 322s | going to be a available in update 7. we |
| 324s | might extend this a bit in the future |
| 326s | but for this release we're just going to |
| 328s | make it so that you can switch off |
| 329s | creature aggression essentially for now |
| 331s | peaceful mode will be the only mode |
| 333s | included in this update but there's more |
| 335s | coming in the future other often |
| 337s | requested modes include being able to |
| 339s | set daytime hours god mode you know no |
| 342s | fall damage uh start with everything |
| 344s | unlocked not losing inventory on death |
| 347s | uh you know the list kind of goes on and |
| 349s | on and I can't really say at this point |
| 351s | in time which ones will be implemented |
| 353s | or not but there are a lot of them that |
| 355s | are on the radar so yeah game modes will |
| 358s | support settings that are both |
| 359s | persistent I.E you configure them before |
| 361s | you start a new save file and settings |
| 363s | that can be set for the play session so |
| 365s | so uh uh remember the talk we had before |
| 369s | the launch of update six where I |
| 372s | mentioned that we might change how |
| 373s | overclocking works in the game and then |
| 376s | like at the last second we decided not |
| 378s | to do that for update six will we be |
| 380s | doing that for update seven |
| 386s | oh but seriously uh there is gonna be a |
| 388s | slight change to overclocking update |
| 390s | seven uh we think I mean we know I mean |
| 393s | uh like we're still kind of working on |
| 395s | this so I can't give like a real update |
| 397s | on this at this very moment because like |
| 398s | I said things are fluctuating a little |
| 400s | bit uh however one change we do know we |
| 402s | intend to make for overclocking and |
| 404s | update seven is how overclocking works |
| 406s | for power generators at the moment |
| 408s | overclocking power generators does not |
| 410s | affect the fuel to power ratio both the |
| 412s | fuel burn rate and the power output are |
| 414s | increased proportionally meaning uh fuel |
| 417s | to power follows like a linear formula |
| 419s | when overclocking however their |
| 422s | operating rate does not so when |
| 424s | overclocking power you get a mismatch |
| 426s | between these two values so power |
| 429s | generators do what we refer to |
| 430s | internally as following a linear formula |
| 433s | in a stupid way |
| 436s | Mark made sure to tell you that okay in |
| 438s | Update 7 their operating rate is going |
| 440s | to match their power output it's it's |
| 442s | silly that they don't and it's like just |
| 444s | unnecessarily confusing it's it's one of |
| 447s | those things that we've been wanting to |
| 448s | fix for a long time but we just haven't |
| 449s | been able to get around to it until now |
| 451s | with this change we're also making an |
| 453s | adjustment to the nuclear power plant's |
| 454s | water requirement So currently nuclear |
| 457s | power plants require 300 cubic meters of |
| 459s | water per minute at 100 which would |
| 462s | become 750 at 250 percent uh quick math |
| 466s | which is impossible to deliver with the |
| 468s | current pipes essentially so we'll be |
| 470s | reducing the water to 240 or lower at |
| 472s | 100 in the future this change shouldn't |
| 475s | break any existing power setups that you |
| 477s | may have you know at worst you'll be |
| 479s | delivering too much water to your power |
| 481s | plants so |
| 482s | yeah another change we're making is |
| 484s | regarding the coupons and the awesome |
| 485s | sync so in the awesome sync there are |
| 488s | now two tracks that I use for syncing |
| 490s | items one is for the regular parts of |
| 492s | the game and the other is for organic |
| 494s | data capsules crafted from Alien protein |
| 496s | this means that there will be a |
| 498s | difference in return on effort between |
| 499s | the regular parts that you sync and the |
| 501s | organic data capsules giving you like |
| 503s | another incentive sort of for dealing |
| 505s | with the local fauna so regardless of |
| 507s | how many points you've synced in the |
| 508s | awesome sync by now you'll still get |
| 510s | like a fair number of coupons for the |
| 511s | capsules since their points accumulate |
| 513s | on their own track in the future we're |
| 515s | also planning on rebalancing the coupon |
| 516s | costs for the awesome shop in general |
| 518s | there's also a couple of qualitative |
| 520s | life improvements coming in this update |
| 521s | with the most significant being that |
| 523s | we've improved sort of how conveyor belt |
| 525s | building works and we've implemented so |
| 527s | that snapping to walls and foundations |
| 529s | will automatically switch to the wall |
| 531s | mount and drumroll we've added ceiling |
| 535s | mounts for conveyor belts exciting times |
| 537s | all right I don't know why I'm |
| 539s | downplaying that feature because it is |
| 540s | kind of sweet actually I also want to |
| 542s | mention and that I think I said in the |
| 543s | last video that we were planning on |
| 544s | releasing a couple of more updates to |
| 546s | creatures in Update 7 uh spoke too soon |
| 549s | because yeah that will likely not happen |
| 552s | it will probably happen later down the |
| 554s | line uh it's partly because there were |
| 555s | some dependencies or something in the |
| 557s | work that goes into the world changes I |
| 558s | mentioned previously uh so we'll see |
| 561s | when those creature changes make it in |
| 562s | there'll also be a couple of bug fixes |
| 564s | and performance improvements coming in |
| 565s | Update 7 as usual but apart from that |
| 568s | these are sort of the things that you |
| 569s | can sort of expect in this update uh you |
| 571s | know there might be one or two more |
| 573s | features added if we have time but you |
| 576s | know that's it for the most part so yeah |
| 577s | I just want to kind of set expectations |
| 579s | here that's this is a small update and |
| 581s | lastly I want to mention a little bit |
| 582s | something about fixmas our seasonal |
| 584s | event that we run at the end of the year |
| 586s | a lot of folks have asked us recently if |
| 588s | we're doing fixmest this year as well |
| 590s | and the answer is yes we are but because |
| 594s | this update is coming so close to the |
| 596s | end of the year will most likely be so |
| 598s | wrapped up with that so we won't be able |
| 600s | to make like any new additions to fix |
| 602s | Christmas this time around so this |
| 604s | year's seasonal event will pretty much |
| 606s | be a rerun of last year's fixmest but I |
| 608s | think it's still going to be pretty |
| 609s | exciting and on that note we're gonna |
| 611s | round off this video hopefully you feel |
| 614s | informed about many things you know |
| 615s | there will be more videos coming up |
| 617s | keeping you up to speed regarding the |
| 619s | work that goes into update 7. so hit |
| 621s | that old subscribe button if you want |
| 622s | but you know that's up to you though you |
| 624s | know you're your own castle I don't want |
| 626s | you to feel like I'm pressuring you or |
| 628s | anything like that you know take your |
| 629s | time think it over you know I'll love |
| 632s | you regardless of your decision thanks |
| 633s | so much for watching take care goodbye |
