Satisfactory Dev Tracker

Hi Pioneers!

Hello again everyone, Today we have a patch for you with a bunch of fixes, This patch includes some very long requested QOL like the Invert look option also working for Vehicles and Trains, Crash and Bug Fixes and other goodies :)

In order to not disturb the experience for those who are currently enjoying the Early Access version, these fixes will stay on Experimental over the weekend, but if everything is stable, they will make it’s way to the Early Access version early next week

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...
