Hi Pioneers!

Hello again everyone, This is just a super minor patch with a hotfix for the crash introduced with yesterday’s QOL change, hope it helps :)

Yesterday’s patch was decently big so if you haven’t seen it, please go check the post for it, there’s a lot of important stuff you might want to know, like all creatures intentionally respawning.

There might be some other issues so if you find anything please let us know over at our QA Site: https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/ We read your comments every day.

Some people might have missed the Known Issues section from yesterday so I’m including it here again.

Until next time!, Take care everyone <3

Hi Pioneers!

Hello again everyone, lots of details about today’s patch so please make sure you read the patch notes, overall there should be plenty of improvements everywhere and hopefully we didn’t introduce too many new bugs :)

But if we did, let us know over at our QA Site: https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/ We read your comments every day.

So, without further ado, one of the biggest changes in this patch is that we did some changes to the creature spawner behaviour, this was to address the situation where for a lot of players, the game had no creatures at all or much less creatures than before, also to fix other issues.

This will unavoidably result in all creatures respawning across the world, even inside Factories and i...

Hi Pioneers!

Update 6 has arrived on Experimental. I’d like to preface this event with the fact that some of the new content released isn’t as far along in development as our previous Update releases, so consider this our most experimental Experimental yet! Nonetheless, we think you can have fun with everything here already and we need more of you playing with the incoming changes to help us see how far along they are and inform further development. As always, you can leave your feedback and any issues you encounter on our Questions Site: https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/

Overall, this Experimental period is going to be a little different. We will be pushing updates to finalise content that is released, and we might add some additional content along...

Hi Pioneers!

Hello again everyone, today’s patch brings a big bunch of fixes from the Experimental version over to Early Access, it also brings both versions to parity.

Some note worthy changes from the update are the Engine Upgrade to version 4.26.2, EOS account Unlinking, Localisation updates, tons of Vehicle and Train fixes and more!

Worth noting that this setting is only visible from the Steam version.

Without further ado, here’s some explanations!
