Satisfactory Alpha release

Tombstone · 1 Oct 2021 at 19:26

Cannot wait for the 26th October for Update 5 to release. Going to get really sucked in again !!

Do updates affect saved games?

Had a week off work last week, loaded up a save that had about 20 hours on it, hit 80 hours by the end of the week, the addiction is once again real. Up to about 200 hours played now i think.

I haven't even unlocked tiers 7 and 8 yet

Builds like this just make me think why am I bothering, just amazing.

Yeah some of them are stunning, I just console myself by saying they are using mods and whatnot to give them unlimited resources rather than creating those in vanilla Satisfactory

But are they all running at 100% efficacy?

That's where most of my time ends up, trying to get perfect efficiency

The guy in the video above was managing 60 thermal rockets a minute but maxed out the bauxite resources and can't get above that.

The train signal system is more in depth than I thought it would be, I thought it might be quite basic but thats great. I could imagine that some people who havent played Satisfactory but like Train sim games might even be interested now

I'm dreading firing up one of my older train orientated savegame. It'll be absolute chaos.

I was thinking along similar lines, but in my case it made me fancy playing Factorio or OpenTTD.

Some tips here for anyone getting back into this when Update 5 drops, I've got hundreds and hundreds of hours in the game and I still found stuff in this video that I didnt know about

Interesting changes to the building, snapping and collisions.

Someone needs to show the Satisfactory updates to the Valheim devs so that they can learn the right way to add game content.

Kainz · 16 Oct 2021 at 06:55

Absolutely amazing set of QoL changes. Yes, these guys have to be respected for the way they communicate with fans and add content. A good while ago in Update4 I actually thought that there couldn't be more that could be added to the game really!

Update 5 video. It's fairly long, enjoyed it though. Here's the reddit link with the patch notes if you want to just read that.

Tombstone · 26 Oct 2021 at 19:41

Yup, Update 5 is here, send your family away for a while, grab some drink and a bucketload of food and prepare to disappear from the world for the next 1000 hours
