Hi Pioneers!

Hello again everyone, Today we are moving over the previous patch released on Experimental as well as introducing two new changes, Aside from some very long requested QOL like the Invert look option also working for Vehicles and Trains, now you can also remove offline players out of vehicles by entering them yourself, as well as fixing another top mentioned issue on QA Site with the MAM research resetting when you closed the menu.

If you encounter any issues with this new update or if there’s anything we’re forgetting from Update 8 as a whole, please let us know over at our QA Site https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/ We read your posts every day

Hi Pioneers!

Today Update 8 is now available on the Early Access version of Satisfactory for everyone to try out and have fun with it! This update showcases the combined efforts of the studio over more than a year worth of work with both Unreal Engine 5 and Update 8 as a whole, so there are a LOT of changes that have happened since Update 7 released on Early Access.

We’ve spent the last few months trying our best to stabilize as much as we can so you all can have a good experience when Update 8 releases on Early Access, with that being said, It never hurts to BACK UP YOUR SAVES :)

If you are experiencing issues, want to give us some feedback, or just post any cool ideas you might have, please let us know over at our QA/Questions Site: https://question...

Hi Pioneers!

Hello everyone, here’s a few hotfixes from some of the bigger issues we’ve seen you encounter from yesterday that might be preventing some people from playing the game or that will hopefully improve the experience for others.

There’s two things to explain for this patch:

  • New Pioneer being assigned when loading your save

If you’ve linked your accounts before, yesterday’s patch would give you a new character, so you would see your previous character offline hanging out where you previously were.

The temporary solution was to find your old character and hit it with a weapon and then retrieve your items

If you did this, Today’s patch will result in the same situation, you will go back to your original character, so it will once again seem like you got a “new character” even though it is now back to the original

What this means is that if you didn’t play yesterday at all, the expected be...

With big updates like this, there might be a lot of unexpected issues showing up so if you’re experiencing any please let us know over at our QA Site: https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/ We will look into them AS...
