| 1s | hey everyone my name is Jason I'm a |
| 3s | community manager at coffee stain |
| 5s | Studios and today we're talking about |
| 6s | new whoops sorry Mike uh we're talking |
| 8s | about new blueprint improvements that |
| 10s | are coming to satisfactory in update 8. |
| 12s | now before we get into the uh the new |
| 14s | stuff that's coming the stuff that is |
| 15s | coming let's talk about some things that |
| 16s | aren't coming because according to this |
| 18s | video here according to the views on |
| 20s | that you guys love it when I talk about |
| 21s | things that aren't coming to |
| 22s | satisfactory so let's uh get those out |
| 24s | of the way and then we'll talk about the |
| 25s | new stuff so the first thing that isn't |
| 26s | going to be coming in update 8 is that |
| 28s | we've gotten a lot of feedback from |
| 29s | people who who want the blueprint |
| 31s | designer to be bigger and we we aren't |
| 33s | changing that in update 8. okay so we're |
| 36s | going to keep that the same and another |
| 37s | thing that isn't coming in update 8 uh |
| 39s | is another thing that we've got a lot of |
| 40s | feedback about which is issues with |
| 42s | snapping the blueprint when building |
| 43s | them we're not actually releasing any |
| 45s | fixes for that in update 8 and the |
| 47s | reason for that though is because we |
| 50s | actually have already released a bunch |
| 51s | of fixes throughout update sevens uh |
| 54s | this updates seven period so most of |
| 56s | those issues should uh have been |
| 58s | addressed at this stage live right now |
| 60s | for you to play with but both of these |
| 63s | issues together blueprint sizes plus any |
| 66s | snapping issues what we would really |
| 67s | like is more feedback from you guys |
| 69s | about this after update 8 comes out |
| 71s | because we're going to talk about some |
| 73s | other features that are going to come to |
| 74s | the blueprint system now and so what we |
| 77s | would like is uh your feedback on the |
| 80s | dimensions of the blueprint snapping |
| 83s | etc etc the entire experience after you |
| 86s | get this entire package of new stuff |
| 87s | right so what we're probably going to do |
| 89s | with the QA site is when it comes to |
| 90s | like the snapping stuff we're probably |
| 92s | going to be marking those off as |
| 94s | resolved and then what we would like is |
| 97s | your feedback off drop to a drops to see |
| 99s | well is the snapping experience resolved |
| 101s | are there still issues that way we can |
| 103s | see like well what is actually relevant |
| 105s | feedback to the current state of |
| 107s | blueprints and what isn't it could be |
| 109s | also that like a lot of these quality of |
| 111s | life issues will alleviate some of the |
| 113s | stresses that people have had with with |
| 115s | snapping but also with like the |
| 117s | dimensions of the blueprint as well okay |
| 119s | so that's why we kind of I want to put |
| 121s | blueprint feedback on ice we're going to |
| 123s | we're happy with what we're putting out |
| 125s | for update eight and then you guys let |
| 126s | us know what you think about that at |
| 128s | that stage cool all right housekeeping |
| 130s | is out of the way let's move on to the |
| 132s | new stuff that's coming to blueprints |
| 133s | the first thing that we're going to talk |
| 134s | about is going to be quick switch so |
| 135s | quick switch is not a new feature to |
| 137s | satisfactory we've had it with |
| 138s | buildables forever it's the thing where |
| 139s | you can just tap e to toggle through |
| 142s | different buildables uh within a |
| 144s | category or you can hold e and that'll |
| 146s | open up like a radial menu where you can |
| 147s | choose different conveyor belt speeds or |
| 149s | different kinds of Foundations or |
| 151s | whatever so this is not a new feature |
| 153s | but we're now bringing that feature to |
| 154s | blueprints so what's going to happen now |
| 156s | is that you guys can customize what |
| 158s | blueprints you put into subcategories |
| 160s | that was already in the system and now |
| 162s | you can anything that's within a |
| 164s | subcategory will be available via the |
| 166s | quick quick switch system so if you put |
| 168s | a bunch of related things in one |
| 170s | subcategory in the blueprint designer |
| 171s | menu you can hold a they'll all be there |
| 174s | in the radial menu or you can tap e and |
| 176s | you will cycle through it this can be |
| 177s | really really useful in certain |
| 179s | situations like if you uh build a |
| 181s | subcategory of structural pieces for a |
| 184s | big structure that you're making like |
| 185s | out of Foundations then instead of |
| 187s | having a bunch of different things on |
| 188s | your hot bar you can just use the radial |
| 190s | menu or tap e to cycle directly to them |
| 193s | that'll clean up some space for your hot |
| 194s | bar or another thing could be if you're |
| 196s | building a larger Factory and you've |
| 198s | created modules for that larger Factory |
| 201s | for pieces of that larger Factory then |
| 203s | you can put those all into one |
| 204s | subcategory and very very easily select |
| 206s | which ones you need so I think it's a |
| 207s | really really handy feature nice Quality |
| 209s | of Life Touch yeah I think it's |
| 210s | inevitable that blueprints get this |
| 212s | feature and I think it's great that we |
| 213s | have it now so the next three features |
| 214s | that I want to talk about address three |
| 216s | of the biggest pain points when it comes |
| 218s | to a blueprint designer that we've you |
| 220s | know from feedback that we've gone from |
| 221s | you guys and that is building blueprints |
| 224s | in the wrong direction building |
| 225s | blueprints in the wrong location and |
| 228s | then having to dismantle the blueprints |
| 230s | um that is a pain because you have to go |
| 231s | and manually select everything and then |
| 233s | you rebuild oh it's the wrong |
| 234s | orientation all right it's one like |
| 236s | pixel off or something and you have to |
| 237s | go and dismantle all it again so these |
| 239s | next three features address all these |
| 240s | things |
| 241s | the first thing is going to be a |
| 242s | directional Arrow let's go an arrow it's |
| 245s | just an arrow but this makes all the |
| 246s | difference so now when you're building |
| 248s | your blueprints uh there will be a |
| 250s | little white Arrow which will point in |
| 251s | the forward direction of the blueprint |
| 253s | so you can ensure that the orientation |
| 255s | you have of your blueprint is correct |
| 256s | before building now what is forward in |
| 259s | this case is considered to be in the |
| 261s | direction of the little console that you |
| 263s | see on the blueprint designer okay so |
| 265s | that is the forward Direction |
| 267s | um so now you know that you can think |
| 268s | about that when you're you're you know |
| 270s | designing your Blueprints and hopefully |
| 271s | this will reduce uh the occurrence of |
| 274s | you building in the wrong direction |
| 275s | right hopefully that helps the next |
| 277s | feature we have uh to tackle the next |
| 279s | problem which is building in the wrong |
| 280s | location is this brand new feature which |
| 282s | I absolutely love I love this feature |
| 285s | and this is called nudge mode so what |
| 287s | nudge mode is is first of all it's two |
| 290s | things it's the ability to lock a |
| 292s | hologram in place you can now press h to |
| 294s | lock your blueprint hologram in place |
| 296s | and then you can walk around it and you |
| 298s | can check is this position correctly or |
| 300s | not right before building and if you're |
| 302s | happy with it you click again and then |
| 303s | it builds so when in nudge mode |
| 305s | blueprint building becomes a two-click |
| 307s | process but if not in nudge mode it's |
| 310s | just the normal one-click process so |
| 311s | nothing changes in the default case now |
| 313s | what happens if you lock your hologram |
| 315s | and it's not quite in the right place |
| 317s | well that's where the nudge comes in |
| 318s | right you can now use by default the |
| 320s | arrow keys to nudge your blueprint in |
| 322s | one meter increments along the |
| 324s | horizontal plane so you can align things |
| 326s | perfectly to where you want so now not |
| 328s | only do you have an arrow to make sure |
| 330s | you're facing it's the right way you |
| 331s | have the ability to nudge it to wherever |
| 333s | it needs to be which I think is super |
| 335s | super good super helpful now not only |
| 337s | that not only is nudge mode here for |
| 339s | blueprints it's actually being applied |
| 341s | across the board you can now use nudge |
| 343s | mode for anything and this makes a lot |
| 345s | of sense because not only can blueprints |
| 346s | be large and unwieldy and hard to aim |
| 348s | but we have some buildings that are |
| 350s | large and unwieldy and hard to aim and |
| 351s | hard to position like the particle |
| 353s | accelerator that thing's huge or |
| 354s | refineries right so like these kind of |
| 356s | buildings are hard to position perfectly |
| 358s | but now the fact that you can lock the |
| 360s | Hologram with h enter nudge mode and |
| 362s | reposition things is super handy across |
| 364s | the board with any buildable at all one |
| 366s | little caveat with nudge mode is that |
| 367s | there is a maximum distance that you can |
| 369s | nudge things so you can nudge them in |
| 370s | one meter increments up to eight meters |
| 373s | or up to half the width of the buildable |
| 376s | that you're you're working with |
| 378s | whichever is bigger so if you're working |
| 379s | with really really really big buildings |
| 381s | you can actually nudge a little further |
| 383s | and we found that that works fairly well |
| 385s | so I'm really excited to tell you about |
| 386s | this I think you guys are going to love |
| 388s | nudge mode super excited to see your |
| 389s | feedback I can't wait to see your |
| 390s | reactions in the comments below but also |
| 393s | when people get to play with it I think |
| 394s | I think it's going to be cool Okay so |
| 396s | we've handled |
| 397s | orientation building the wrong spot but |
| 400s | what happens if you build the wrong |
| 401s | thing or if you still end up building |
| 402s | the wrong orientation or you still |
| 404s | building in the wrong spot you know it |
| 405s | could still happen it's still really |
| 407s | really painful to dismantle blueprints |
| 409s | by highlighting it's so tedious so we've |
| 412s | actually created a blueprint dismantle |
| 414s | mode I think you guys are going to be |
| 416s | really excited to hear that this feature |
| 417s | is now here it was so relieving when I |
| 420s | heard about it and then when I used it |
| 421s | it was just super super good as well uh |
| 424s | felt really great so I'm so glad that |
| 426s | this feature is here blueprint dismantle |
| 427s | mode is exactly what you think it is now |
| 429s | when you enter dismantle mode by |
| 431s | pressing F that's the default key you |
| 433s | can now press R to toggle what dismantle |
| 435s | mode you want where either it's normal |
| 436s | dismantle mode where you just highlight |
| 438s | one thing at a time or you can go into |
| 440s | blueprint dismantle mode where when you |
| 442s | select one building that was part of a |
| 444s | blueprint it then also selects |
| 445s | everything that was part of that |
| 447s | blueprint and this is going to be super |
| 449s | helpful because it makes tearing down |
| 450s | blueprints that you've built super quick |
| 452s | and then you can reposition things and |
| 453s | you can prototype without having to sit |
| 455s | there and manually destroy everything |
| 457s | it's super tedious um so this feature |
| 459s | makes that so much quicker and so you |
| 461s | might be wondering if you build a |
| 462s | blueprint and then you dismantle like |
| 464s | one of the buildings in that blueprint |
| 466s | it's technically no longer the same |
| 468s | blueprint what happens in dismantle mode |
| 470s | in those cases dismantle mode remembers |
| 472s | what buildings were part of the |
| 473s | blueprint so even if you tear apart |
| 475s | small parts of the blueprint you can |
| 477s | still Mass dismantle the remaining |
| 479s | elements of that blueprint without any |
| 481s | issue not only that if you build other |
| 483s | pieces within that blueprint so say part |
| 485s | of your blueprint has two different |
| 486s | buildings and then you manually go in |
| 488s | and connect them with the conveyor belt |
| 490s | later blueprint dismantle mode will |
| 491s | still select the original two buildings |
| 493s | you'll dismantle them and then the |
| 495s | remaining conveyor belt will just stay |
| 496s | floating there and then you'll have to |
| 497s | go and manually dismantle those things |
| 499s | so it's it's very very straightforward |
| 501s | very easy to use uh and I think another |
| 505s | another just godsend of a feature |
| 507s | honestly I think you guys are really |
| 508s | really going to appreciate blueprint |
| 510s | dismantle mode as well so those are the |
| 512s | new features that are coming in update 8 |
| 513s | for the blueprint system I would love to |
| 515s | hear what you guys think about it |
| 516s | because I was really excited about when |
| 518s | I heard these features and then I was |
| 519s | really excited when I played with these |
| 521s | features it they it's super great the |
| 523s | team has done an amazing job so I would |
| 525s | love to hear what you guys think put it |
| 526s | in the comments below let me know let me |
| 528s | know let me know and uh yeah I'll catch |
| 530s | you guys next time on another video so |
| 531s | have a lovely weekend everyone take care |
| 532s | bye |
| 538s | put them in the comments below because |
| 540s | one I want to hear it also it's good for |
| 542s | YouTube algorithm all right so feed both |
| 545s | of us |
| 548s | stupid |
| 549s | let me read you the outro again I'm |
| 551s | getting loopy I'm so tired okay |
