Hi Pioneers!

This update marks an important milestone for us since it’s the first time we’re officially launching an update simultaneously on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X, this way everyone can enjoy the update on their favourite platforms!

If you haven't seen what the update has to offer, be sure to check out our latest trailer below:

If you encounter any issues while playing, please let us know over at our QA Site

https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/ We read your posts every day!

While you wait for your download to finish, Here’s a breakdown of most of the new additions from the update

Weather

Rain is back! And better than ever, since its previous iteration from Update 6 we’ve done many improvements to it, with enhanced visual effects such as wetness on buildings and the pioneer’s suit, improved wind, fog, multiple variants of rain density, thunder and more!

Additionally, with a brand-new system to support it, rain will also now be occluded by most buildables, foundations and walls, and both visuals and audio will be impacted by this creating a much more atmospheric experience all around your factories and world

You can also tweak the frequency and intensity of Rain in the new World settings tab in the Options Menu

The World settings menu includes:

Weather presets

• Default

• Dry

• The Great MASSAGE-2 (AB)b

• Clear

• Raining Kittens and Puppies

• Extreme

World settings

• Visor Effect - Raindrops on/off

• Thunder on/off

Fog Density Slider

• Added fog density slider

  • Found in Options > Video > Advanced

  • Controls the density of the fog in the map

Unreal Engine 5.6.1

If you missed it from the previous experimental from a month ago, we’ve also upgraded our Unreal Engine version to 5.6.1, bringing performance improvements all across the board

Controller

Since we launched Controller support on PC with 1.0 and later polished further again with the Console release we’ve received various feedback about functionality that you all would like to have, so once again we’ve closely collaborated with the help of the awesome folks at Fishlabs (https://fishlabs.de/) and some of your suggestions are now part of 1.2, such as:

• Dynamic Gamepad Swap

You can now seamlessly switch from Mouse and Keyboard to Controller without having to change them in the options menu each with the new “Dynamic Gamepad Swap” Option in the Controls tab in the options menu

Whenever you press a button or key on your Controller or Keyboard, the game will now adjust on the fly to whatever you’re using

Of course, if you would prefer to avoid accidentally changing your input methods, you can still select only Keyboard and Mouse or Controller exclusively if you disable the Dynamic Swap

• Rebindable keybindings for controller

We’ve seen that due to personal preferences or accessibility reasons it would help a lot of you to be able to tweak the existing controller configuration

With this update most Controller bindings can now be rebound in the Options menu in the Keybindings tab, if you can’t find the settings, please remember that these can only be accessed while using a controller

Vehicle paths rework

Vehicle path automation has been completely remade from the ground up with an entirely new system, old automated Vehicle routes should continue to work as-is, but from now on you will be able to place down Vehicle Paths from the Transport tab from the Build Menu by using the build gun, and then placing the Vehicle on top of the Path itself, similar to how Trains currently work with Railways and Locomotives

Straight build mode for Vehicle paths is available too and so are individual paths for each type of vehicle if you want to really customize your paths further

UI has also been changed to fit with the new system, showing available Vehicle Stations and Routes accessible when entering any Vehicle and opening the Vehicle Menu

Vehicle path colors can also be customized from the Options Menu, in the User Interface tab for your preferences or accessibility uses

Vehicle suspension improvements

Manual driving has been improved as well on top of the self-driving controls, so not only automation will be improved but driving around and exploring the world should be more enjoyable as well!

Fluid Station and Truck

Fluid Stations and Fluid Trucks are now in the game! This allows for an alternative way to transport and store fluids across long distances, all the new changes to vehicle paths and improvements also apply to them

Both the Station and Truck have a Capacity of 3200 m3 in their internal storage

Unlocked in Tier 5 as part of the usual Logistics Mk.4 Milestone

Creative Mode

With 1.2 we have now renamed the old Advanced Game Settings Menu into Creative Mode, the functionality remains the same as before, disabling achievements and enabling many settings so you can have options to build around freely

Game Modes

We’re also introducing a brand-new menu for Game Modes, available only when creating a New Game, Game Modes do not disable achievements, and will allow you to enjoy Satisfactory in new ways compared to a regular playthrough with the introduction of Cost Multipliers and World Randomization

All of the settings below can be adjusted individually independently of each other, and once active they cannot be turned off forever for that save, any settings active on this save will also apply during multiplayer sessions

Hi Pioneers! Hello everyone, 1.2 is finally ready for Experimental and we can’t wait for you all to enjoy the latest features and improvements we have been working on Before we get started, make sure you check out the video our Community Management has made for this update, we hope you love it as much as we do, it’s better than the written patch notes for real, so check it out before you keep reading :D

If you happen to find any issues with any features, new or old, please let us know over at our QA Site https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/ We’ll be reading your posts every day! As usual, before you try Experimental, make sure to BACK UP YOUR SAVES just in case so if there’s anything unexpected you can keep your factory safe, you can find them in:

Without further ado, Here’s the highlights of 1.2:

Weather

Rain is back! And better than ever, since its previous iteration from Update 6 we’ve done many improvements to it, with enhanced visual effects such as wetness on buildings and the pioneer’s suit, improved wind, fog, multiple variants of rain density, thunder and more!

  To access the Experimental version on Steam: Right click Satisfactory on your library > Properties > Game Versions & Betas > experimental Then exit this menu and the experimental version will start downloading for you   To access the Experimental version on Epic:   In your Library, search for “Satisfactory Experimental” and install it, it’s a separate entry from the default version so you need to download it individually   For this Experimental release, one of the big changes is that we’ve upgraded our Unreal Engine version all the way to 5.6.1 which as usual with engine upgrades, alongside many improvements it might also bring in unexpected bugs or other unexpected behaviour   The other big change is that all the other changes that have been done for the Console version will now finally be available for PC users here on Experimental, this includes hundreds of improvements, bug fixes, controller polish and quality of life upgrades and localization updates!   This experimental is very big in terms of how much work has been put into it, so as always we’re focused on maintaining an enjoyable experience for all of you, so if you find any new issues or there’s anything you think we should fix please let us know over at our QA Site https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/ We read your posts every day   There might be a few things from the last few patches from the latest live version that might not be present in this version, as all of this has been developed in parallel over the past year (yes, before the console release even!) but before this experimental version moves to the default version of Satisfactory, all of these improvements will make it back and be consolidated into one version again, so don’t worry   Hope you enjoy trying out this experimental, we appreciate your feedback and support, it will help us make the game better for everyone   Thank you for your support, See you all next time <3
