| 2s | hi today I'd like to talk to you about |
|---|---|
| 4s | The Narrative of satisfactory and what |
| 6s | you can expect in 1.0 when it come to |
| 8s | this aspect of the game a long long time |
| 11s | ago when we started working on this game |
| 13s | and we had just gotten like the basics |
| 14s | of the game in place one of our earliest |
| 16s | play tests we did uh one piece of |
| 18s | feedback we got from players was that |
| 20s | players sort of felt like they were |
| 22s | missing a purpose as to like why you're |
| 24s | building all these factors in the game |
| 26s | after that play test it sort of made |
| 27s | sense for us to try and use like a |
| 29s | narrative to tie everything together and |
| 31s | sort of set the stage as to why you're |
| 32s | on this planet and why you're creating |
| 34s | all these factories being Early Access |
| 36s | we didn't want to have the narrative |
| 38s | half finished in the game so we decided |
| 40s | to completely omit it for the duration |
| 43s | of Early Access which is why you haven't |
| 45s | seen any of it apart from you know any |
| 47s | World building we've done you know in |
| 49s | the game and and our socials and website |
| 51s | and whatnot over time the narrative for |
| 53s | the game has gone over many different |
| 55s | iterations of various Scopes uh at one |
| 58s | point The Narrative grew into something |
| 60s | overwhelmingly big and we weren't sure |
| 62s | we were going to be able to deliver on |
| 64s | our vision and Hannah who is our lead |
| 67s | writer also had responsibility for like |
| 68s | World assign and stuff like that so she |
| 71s | already had a lot on her plates so we |
| 73s | decided that we wanted to aim for like a |
| 76s | good story that we felt was manageable |
| 78s | to implement for us we've talked about |
| 80s | this many times on streams and videos in |
| 82s | the past but our goal for the narrative |
| 84s | uh of satisfactory is that we don't want |
| 86s | it to take sort of center stage and like |
| 89s | we don't want it to be disruptive we |
| 90s | want the narrative to fit the current |
| 92s | game and we don't want it to change what |
| 94s | people are already familiar with |
| 96s | satisfactory is first and foremost a |
| 98s | factory building game and if you don't |
| 100s | care about the story you can you know |
| 102s | pretty much ignore it uh it will sort of |
| 104s | play out in front of you but you don't |
| 106s | have to pay attention to it we don't |
| 107s | want to remove any agency from the |
| 109s | player either so there won't be any like |
| 110s | cutcenes or anything like that that will |
| 112s | interrupt you from playing the game as |
| 114s | usual so don't expect like a big story |
| 117s | campaign or anything like that uh there |
| 120s | will will be an ending to the game that |
| 121s | you're working towards but it won't |
| 123s | distract you from like the existing core |
| 125s | Loop of the game but one of the main |
| 127s | reasons why I'm making this video is |
| 129s | because the story in 1.0 has changed |
| 132s | since its initial conception so we need |
| 135s | to sort of Recon most of everything |
| 137s | we've told you up until now uh when it |
| 140s | comes to the story for the most part |
| 141s | it's still you know the same world and |
| 143s | all that stuff you're still a Pioneer |
| 144s | working for Fixit but you should |
| 146s | probably like forget everything you |
| 147s | thought you knew about Fixit or you know |
| 149s | any of the characters that we've |
| 151s | revealed working for fix it you know cuz |
| 153s | characters such as like Karina parks and |
| 155s | Steve they're all redcon at this point |
| 158s | okay you'll still interact with a your |
| 160s | personal instance of the artificial |
| 162s | directory and assistant uh we're going |
| 164s | to keep a because |
| 167s | uh uh because we want to we decided to |
| 171s | keep Ada and we're also not going to |
| 173s | replace the Vocaloid that we've been |
| 175s | using to voice Ada because you know |
| 177s | you're already so accustomed to that and |
| 179s | we also think it's pretty cool that |
| 180s | people can create their own voice lines |
| 182s | for you know content or extend mods with |
| 184s | it or you know even streamers have like |
| 187s | a chat bot read out messages live we |
| 188s | always thought that was pretty cool and |
| 190s | fun so you'll still be interacting with |
| 192s | Ada uh and in fact every single existing |
| 195s | dialogue with adaa in the game has been |
| 197s | completely Rewritten in 1.0 if you're |
| 200s | planning to play satisfactory |
| 201s | multiplayer uh it might also be good to |
| 202s | know that any narrative that is |
| 204s | triggered by unlocking Milestones or |
| 207s | faces or research uh will be shared |
| 209s | globally in the session but a lot of |
| 211s | other narrative delivery will be |
| 213s | triggered individually on a proximity |
| 215s | basis so if you're not close to someone |
| 217s | when they're triggering something |
| 219s | related to narrative uh you won't |
| 221s | experience that until you trigger it |
| 223s | yourself all dialogue in the game will |
| 225s | also be logged into the Codex so you'll |
| 227s | be able to revisit it again uh once |
| 230s | you've triggered it I also want to |
| 231s | clarify one thing about Summers sloops |
| 233s | and Mercer spheres uh we've said in the |
| 235s | past that those items are story items |
| 238s | and they're tied directly to the story |
| 240s | this is not true anymore uh they're not |
| 242s | story items but they will have some form |
| 245s | of impact on the narrative uh but their |
| 248s | primary use case is en TI to it so with |
| 251s | all that said I'd like to take a moment |
| 253s | in this video to sort of set the stage |
| 255s | for the gamees |
| 263s | narrative in satisfactory you take the |
| 265s | role of a Pioneer for fix it |
| 267s | Incorporated designated to the planet |
| 269s | massage 2 a BB in the aacha system and |
| 272s | to fulfill your obligations you must |
| 274s | exploit this planet for its resources by |
| 276s | building factories setting up Power |
| 278s | Systems organizing Logistics utilizing |
| 281s | vehicles and asserting dominance over |
| 283s | the local fauna using whatever tools you |
| 285s | may |
| 286s | engineer to advance fix its Mission all |
| 289s | notable phenomena resources technology |
| 292s | or other influence should be |
| 293s | investigated regardless of their |
| 295s | perceived danger as stated in the |
| 297s | Pioneer contract it is your duty to |
| 300s | ensure they come to good use on this |
| 302s | Mission you are accompanied by Ada your |
| 304s | personal instance of the artificial |
| 306s | directory and |
| 310s | assistant potential edible collected |
| 313s | reminder that look and smell alone do |
| 315s | not provide sufficient data to determine |
| 317s | exact risk of consumption Ada will guide |
| 320s | you throughout your mission measuring |
| 321s | your performance and providing you with |
| 323s | helpful advice as you explore the planet |
| 325s | and progress in your |
| 327s | exploits your first official objective |
| 329s | is to initiate project assembly by |
| 331s | building the space elevator project |
| 333s | assembly is divided into faces Each of |
| 336s | which requires the delivery of project |
| 338s | Parts via the space elevator subsequent |
| 341s | faces unlock access to new tiers with |
| 343s | more Advanced Technologies to construct |
| 345s | automate explore and exploit but it's |
| 348s | time to be honest this project is part |
| 351s | of the Save the Day program the largest |
| 353s | United undertaking in human history |
| 356s | destined to save us all Earth is in |
| 359s | peril and only fix it Pioneers offer |
