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...

We’re are currently looking out for any issues we might be forgetting about as we’re feeling in a more stable situation with Update 8 as a whole, so if there’s anything important that you think should be fixed ASAP please let us know over at our QA Site: https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/ We read your posts every day

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...

Big disclaimer, from a technical standpoint this is a BIG Update, so please BACK UP YOUR SAVES before trying it, we don’t want to see anyone lose their saves due to unexpected behavior, so please back them all up

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...
