is it possible to get more than 15 where did it go uh I'm glad I painted before I lost it in chat uh more than 15 colors watch uh custom quality or is this game limitation so I don't know what the state of this is right now because these used to be game limitation this used to be a thing where we can only use 16 um we can only cache 16 colors in in the the Shader that we used uh to to render the factory um material I believe I don't remember if this was something that was now possible I think technically we can have more than than 15 at the moment because I think that's what the main reason why we added that like the the last custom one because now we can have as many as we want uh due to the change of how like that entire pipeline Works um so I think it's possible but I think at the same time it I think it's a bit of like a ux question too where like if you have too many swatches it might make it confusing I guess but please let us know on the keyword side if you want more callers watch options because I I think part of it is if if it's not a technical like reason why there's only 15 or 16 at the moment um then I think the reason why I've had added more is basically basically because we don't know that that feedback exists uh or there's not enough feedback for it I guess to make it worth the time doing it um so uh yeah that's the main thing there so if you want to see more than 15 please let us know in the Qs site I don't know if it's technically a if it's a technical reason anymore

uh will you add any achievements at one point we will add achievements to the game at some point we just don't know when probably closer to when a game is finished because we can only add you can't change achievements so for the most part least there's a few exceptions but for the most part when you publish achievements on any storefront it's like you get one shot um so if we make an achievement where it's like make 100 power thingies and that's like really hard right now and then we add like a tool that just makes that you get it instantly then that achievement is kind of like yeah whatever you want to make good Achievements not just achievements for achievements like

thoughts on being able to automate medical inhalers I honestly don't see the use for it because the game is like you you get health back by just being in the game you know um I I understand that a lot of people just want to automate everything all the time everywhere oh I don't know if you guys can see her she's like in the corner here um so I honestly I personally don't see the the the the the need for it but maybe a lot of people want it and if you want it make sure to put it on the QA site

will there be any development updates after 1.0 release so we haven't really planned anything after 1.0 we we're sort of in the I think we're in the mindset of like we'll get to 1.0 and then we'll sort of see what we do um I think I think that's partly true because I feel like the closer we're getting I think we're figuring out more also like what we can and can't do but I don't know what we're gonna do after one point honestly like we nothing's really set in stone we haven't really decided anything like that we haven't we haven't decided that like oh we're gonna make DLC we haven't decided that we're going to keep working on satisfaction satisfactory too yeah like or maybe satisfactory too like yeah we there's no decision sort of we just have right now we just have sort of uh a kind of a abstract idea of like what needs to be in the game for it to be considered 1.0 and we're working towards that and that sort of abstract idea keeps changing over and over again yeah um based on like what we want to add but also what we can add with a given time that we have and like what people want to do and stuff like that yeah that's that's not exactly to say that there has been no thought that's gone into it but the the thing about or efforts that have gone into like what will happen afterwards but like the thing is like that's just us operating on what we think now we have no idea how things are going to feel later change things might change who knows right and so it's like in the same way that we're not telling you anything about update 8 right now we would we would never give you the the tiny plans and vague plans that we have at the moment or efforts that we put in at the moment for post 1.0 uh now it would be irresponsible to do that when and then like hold ourselves to that for for some random reason um yeah there's just no shots so the the reality is if you asked anyone there what what will happen no one will be able to tell you that's just the answer um some people might tell you well we this is one idea this is one idea we looked into this but we can't give you an answer no one can there was no actual answer to the question so yeah

do you have any plans to improve replayability randomizing map creating etc for the final release of the game uh right now I don't think there are plans for it now this is going to be kind of weird right because like most people here have played the game for hundreds of hours or many people have played for hundreds of hours maybe even thousands of hours um and so whilst one could imagine that there could be better replayability features in the game we also think that the game actually is fairly replayable uh there's a lot of there's a lot of game time in here and so um I actually challenged the question of whether or not we need more replayability since like or not that we need it or not but it's like how big of a concern is replayability not maybe not really that big since people routinely play hundreds of hours of our game uh and and maybe our attention should be focused Elsewhere on other design problems having said that though uh randomizing nodes and things like that could be really sick I think may may be doable as a game mode who knows um it's definitely something that has been considered it's it's feedback that has been heard and um like my opinions here of like maybe we don't need it is not me mimicking uh things other people have said that's just like my actual just genuine personal opinion um and that there is probably interest in in having that happen in the game so it could happen who knows but I just I just challenged the question a little bit like how big of a problem is replayability really um you can kind of argue that there is a lot of replayability in the same sort of like when you say replayability you think like oh start from scratch again but I feel like you are kind of doing that constantly when you're like refactoring Factory builds if because you kind of need to in a lot of cases or you know you're building sort of the same if you build like one steel factory and like now I got all the basic steel and then you're like but then I want to make Parts out of that stuff then oftentimes you make a new steel factory you know like so you kind of like re replaying the game by itself and if we were to randomize the nodes how much replayability does that offer right so like let's say for example where I would normally get some oil it's now in a different place on the map yeah so I run the oil to where I want it to be because that's the end of the randomization uh that's that's all it made me do is I ran it from one place to another place and then now the game is the same as it was before I guess I guess the the difference is that like you have to solve a different type of logistic problem if like you have say that if you randomize all the nodes and then all the oil notes are on one side of the map and then all the coal is like in a completely different that creates like a bigger Logistics problem than what we've designed for you know yeah so like I guess that adds a little bit of replayability in that sense but also at the same time you know how much actual like replayability does it actually yeah exactly trains I mean that's exactly what I'm yeah I mean because because y'all like in the game as it is right now you'll solve those logistical issues anyway yeah um so if we move the nodes around maybe you would have to solve them an extra time but you would solve it in the same way it would just be it would it would kind of be the same thing I don't know I don't know just my thoughts just my thoughts yeah I am a sucker for randomization though in general me too me too uh and like I mean I I think I think there's probably more a little bit more value if we could randomize the location of the nodes and have them like appear in really funky places you'd be like well okay there's oil notice on top of this mountain uh you know like I mean stuff like that could be kind of fun as like a game mode yeah but yeah I don't know what's possible in the game uh and I don't know what the rest of the team kind of impedance on that yeah it's kind of fun if like you randomize and you get like you start off like here's a great starting area but there's a uranium node that's going to kill you every time I try to pull them through it yeah

how close is 1.0 so a lot of people have been asking is is 1.0 after update 8 or whatever you know questions along these lines um we're not talking about it right in the past we haven't talked about future updates and we want to keep going like that because we just want to focus on what's ahead for you guys to focus on what's ahead and then if we have another update update nine or whatever whatever's happening after update 8 we can announce that stuff then and then we can have like another like fancy you know amazing moment at that point um so basically not really talking too much about future updates just we never have in the past um and we want to keep doing that so right now the next update is update let's focus on that and then we'll focus on whatever's after updated after updating boom there you are that being said I can't wait for update 47. yep yeah you guys I mean I've been looking at update nine it's wild it's actually wild that's the thing like can you imagine if we came out here going like of the AIDS coming right but like update nine what do we do yeah you just downplay that this update is coming like a couple of weeks before like yo this update is pretty cool but nine though oh so cool like oh it makes up today it looks like dog it's barely worth it at that point like yeah yeah that's how they get I'm sure there's a selling strategy that's like that but actually you know what update 8 is update nine by the way um so we kind of messed up because we have an update 3.5 or 3.6 that was a meme about that yeah the Unreal Engine versions and stuff like that but that like that was a sizable update that should have been update four yeah and then everything should be like that shouldn't have been 3.5 that was like the packager and all that like updates to fluid that is true yeah because that was a major update it should have been update four yeah because I think we were still scared we were comparing our updates to like the size that was yeah being scaled up constantly and update three was the one that like broke Us in terms of like how we view the updates like we were always like we gotta make it as good otherwise it's not worth it yeah yeah exactly yeah but update three was uh was an outlier so yeah update 3.5 should have been four and then everything else should have been up one yeah so update eight should be update nine so update 10 when holy

wouldn't it be better for fix it to send additional resources up the space elevator rather than for scrap in the sink so there's an important distinguished meant no it's important to distinguish that Fixit doesn't need the the stuff the parts that you're putting in the sink uh the the stuff you put in the sink those are for research there's like they don't actually use the parts but the parts you do set up in the space elevator that goes into project assembly those are used for something exactly and the other thing is with the stuff that gets put in the sink for research gets ground grounded up right because to get the atoms so it's you can't use it anymore right otherwise you can't get that information obviously I mean we all know that right yeah but then the other thing is like with the space elevator uh there's only so much room up there right and then like if they need to transport stuff like that's like Fuel and fuel costs are honestly ridiculous these days so we can't just put everything up there right it's going to cost fix it way too much money thank you that's the official answer uh foreign

here's okay I think this is this question is always interesting when people ask it is it bad if you mod satisfactory no that's it that's the tweet I we I actually get this question surprisingly often or like people often ask us like what do you think about mods and stuff like that uh I I don't know like where the sentiments that game devs reject mods or like our anti-mod so whatever or like if maybe there isn't one maybe just like made up that people think that way but uh but we're super pro mods we're super pro the the modding community that we have we think they're making doing amazing things and we are trying to support them as much as we can the game doesn't have official mod support but that's something that we really hope we can have it someday some point and I mean we kind of do have mods support in the sense that like we are trying to be you know as helpful and like trying to do as much as we can for people making mods for the game so I can understand it from a game Dead perspective if you're making like a competitive game where mods can where you're cheating essentially that's a huge problem um but like when it comes to like the longevity of the game or even when people are making features that we wanted to to make and like try like it's it's super awesome because I would get can confirm like whether or not we were right on our assumptions that like this was good or not and for those people that want that ability to to do X or Y they can install the mod so I I don't know like we're I don't know where I don't know why people game like I don't know why that the idea that game does don't like mods I don't know where that's coming from I I would per if I made my own game and somebody modded it I would be super stoked about that uh uh so yeah is it is it bad if you mod satisfactory no keep going in fact check out the modding Discord and see if if you know someone can help you out or or if you need help or anything like that mods are making some amazing things

the topic of platforms any chance for Linux build so there is no official Linux or Mac build at the moment I know that you can run satisfactory on Linux using proton and the other one uh um maybe there's more actually I'm not super into the whole Linux world but people have said that they've been able to play the game like pretty much the same way as long on windows so so it is possible but we don't have like official official Linux support yet that's something that might come in the future it's something we've done in the past for our games but I don't think it will come until we're done with with the game so like not until 1.0 essentially until then you'll have to uh have to endure

is there potential for VR support in the future there's never nothing's ever impossible but I don't think we will make it because no one's really interested in doing that internally and I think that's the main reason really like we're not really interested in doing VR support uh from an implementation standpoint yeah that's that's pretty much it but maybe we will like maybe we'll change our minds in the future I don't know like it's hard to say

is there a road map somewhere we do not have a road map somewhere because we like to be flexible we like the idea that we don't have to tie ourselves down to um you know figuring out years from now like if we were to put a roadmap out we would have had to like you know updates come only come so often so like it's years of work that we would need to commit to uh and we'd rather be flexible and and do things at our own pace and like sort of when we realize things that move around so that's why we don't have a road map

there's a question that we get a lot is when will Sam or in the talking materials be used the talk that stuff will all be used in 1.0 so if you don't know um we are currently working on like the development team is a bit split it's ass uh like update five half of the team have been working on content that it's going to go into the final release of the game which is content that you won't see until the last release uh like the final 1.0 release of the game there's going to be a bunch of content that you have not seen up until now um that were keeping hidden you won't be seeing in an update you will be seeing it in the final release essentially so half of the theme we're working on that the other half of the team I've been working on the updates that you guys have been seeing so like the updates uh six seven and eight um so so we were working on two tracks sort of and the stuff with the samor and the talking like the well talking materials I think I assume you mean like the cool s and the that kind of like the the stuff you can pick up like that stuff is all going to be part of the final release so yes foreign

I guess I could do this one as well to do house cleaning get out of the way so decide to go and come to console I don't know we don't have any plans for that at the moment maybe we'll change in the future I don't know at the moment the game is designed is not designed for controller in mind so if we do work to make it for console we would have to solve that and that's not something we know we if we can at this moment we don't know if we can make control of the support because we haven't finished the game and we would rather it would rather it be like a really good keeper to Mouse game rather than like a mix match you know like our mix Mass uh between the two because if you do want to have control support you have to make you have to sacrifice some things at the moment though I think the there's ways to like remap it so like it is possible that we could have control support but I don't know if we are gonna have control essentially so yeah

whoops oh I might as well like actually answer this I accidentally uh pin this but whatever Unreal Engine 5 plants we have been investigating Unreal Engine 5 for a long time and there's there's definitely a reason why we've spent this much time investigating it still because it is a huge endeavor to implement Unreal Engine or like to move the project over to Unreal Engine 5. there's a lot of issues that will come with it there's also a bunch of gains but probably not the gains that you're expecting so you know just because we switched Unreal Engine 5 doesn't mean that we will be utilizing like nanite and Lumen and all that um because you know nanite props are made for nanite and we'd have to convert all our props to nanite and that's not something we're interested in doing unless it makes sense out of a performance reason I can definitely see that like some of the um like mountain ranges and stuff like that could be good to convert to nanite um but but yeah there's a ton of reasons why it's scary uh for us actually it's going to be a huge call like it's going to be a time sink for us in the project like all the physics the physics engine is deprecated that we're using so we would have to re-implement all the physics in the game uh that goes for both vehicles that goes for both like the player character and all that stuff now granted we do want to look into vehicles and I believe we have vehicle um changes planned anyway because the vehicle physics are it's a little funky in the game um you know so maybe maybe it does make sense to to start from scratch essentially and re-implement all the physics for the vehicles but it is it is a scary thing to just do that uh and there's also a ton of rendering like reasons as well there's also a weird drop we would also be dropping support for some of the lower tier graphics cards if we move over which we've done before not graphics card but like we we couldn't support Windows 7 anymore because of the rendering Graphics API we're using um so I don't know we don't have a diff I don't have a definite answer to give today on that um but those are sort of the reasons those are the things we're weighing essentially like there's a bunch of good things in the tool as well stuff that you guys won't be seeing but like it the the workflow in Unreal Engine is also a bit better um so it's like we have to weigh the cons versus the the gains and it's a huge product it's been a huge project doing that by itself just just doing that has been a huge project so like actually undertaking under 95 is yeah yeah because we're yeah yeah that's all I'm gonna say yeah yeah just click update yeah yeah how hard can it be

if no biomass automation update is at least on the table no it's not on the table I I'm trying to think it's a it's a question we got a lot and and the reason why we don't want to do biomass automation is because you're supposed to move out of that like that's supposed to be the the carrot for getting into like the later uh power options and like it's supposed to be feel very gratifying gratifying when you actually do get out of it and power is suddenly automated you don't have to run around uh Gathering Leafs and anymore uh uh that's the main reason why it's designed that way

uh wait actually this is maybe we can talk about this one here boom MK2 smelter first of all QA site if you want to uh suggest features uh but uh we've talked about this on stream before but we haven't talked about it for quite a while but wait that's the wrong command my bad here we are um so the the idea of like MK2 production buildings MK2 Constructors or whatever um has been requested before and it makes a you know a bit of sense that people would naturally go hey I have this one thing wouldn't it be cool if it could be better um but like the the question there is like what is that what does that necessarily mean like if you've got a if you've got a Constructor and it makes things what does an MK2 Constructor do it makes maybe more complex things well then you got like an assembler um or you know you've got like foundries right um for yeah because you smelt as The Foundry exactly right so instead of like calling it like an MK2 Constructor or MK2 smelter we just add different buildings which do sort of the same thing um you might also think well MK2 uh would be quicker but that's what overclocking is for and ALT recipes so um I don't yeah so so like Foster doesn't really even make too much sense either um because overclocking is for the speed and then other buildings are for the complex parts and ALT recipes are for a combination of the two so I I don't think it makes too much sense I don't think Martin smelter finally smelts Limestone I think that's finally smelled faster oh I wonder if we could get it I wonder if we get an old recipe for an honor uh one other aspect of it as well uh is that if we do if we would have wanted to do like Mark II buildings of the buildings we probably don't want to just slap like a stick around and say like this is Mark II building like we would want to make them visually look like a Mark II who's melter or Mark II construct or whatever and that's like effort and time that we could have spent on something else that doesn't feel like super worth the time at the moment Oscar and in production yep okay well interesting question follow up why have Mark II minor then uh and the reason is because the speed is dramatically increased it's not simply overclocking like uh that that's basically why so like the the mark the The Marked miners uh offer kind of like um what's the word I'm looking for here uh like like levels of access to resources right that you're kind of limited to until you unlock the next one and it helps sort of with progression um and and so what we're saying is there are Mark II Constructors and there are Mark II smelters they're just not called Mark II Constructors and they're not cold Mark juice melters they're just assemblers or manufacturers or foundries or whatever that's what they are we just didn't call them Mark II it's also you have a limited amount of nodes like whereas with Constructors if you want to produce twice as many then you can build another Constructor whereas with miners you can't place more miners on the same node as well so it makes sense to upgrade those those buildings as well because you only have like yeah more out of the map yeah that's that's kind of why uh MK2 uh Cole uh biomass generator that's the coal generator yep there it is um

cup saying do you consider adding additional power generating structures the thing about like uh talking about additional structures that we wish to add I mean we're going to be adding new things all right I'll say that much but we don't really we don't really want to say much more uh about that um yeah as for what changes we have for power who knows maybe we can talk about that in the future if any right covering my base is here what changes if any all right I know Marv is always as good as Keen Eye here ready to call me out on Twitter but I cover my bases yes there's a clip that Marv shared recently where like we were talking about drones yeah you tried to get and we were like oh you said no to drones but then we had drones but in the clip Jace definitely said no to drones at the moment maybe in the future and uh no there were no plans true actually this ain't my first rodeo Mark that is something that like people will never truly truly believe us I guess because they can't know for certain unless you like work at coffee stain but we are we we're definitely telling the truth when we're like saying we're no we don't plan to do this at the moment and then later down the line we change our mind this is go back to the discussion I had before with like the roadmap thing like if yeah even pipes as an example this was by the way when I said no to pipes yeah I didn't know we were adding pipes and I thought we weren't genuinely and then it was one day it was like six months before we were releasing it they were like yeah we're adding it in update three and I was like wait what I I didn't know and everyone was like yeah we're all working on it I'm like no one told me I'm on the internet saying all this stuff this whole time that was that was that was after the like big push of like when you were memeing about pipes right or did you start doing that because you learned that we're actually going to do pipes like no I was yeah you know I started to push just for the memes yeah I didn't know we're adding pipes maybe maybe it was because of that Meme or like the push that you did maybe maybe you're the grandfather of pipes Chase yeah you're like the Inception dude who like went into uh the people that yeah the people who who made the decision you'd like in the little dreams you were like oh wouldn't you like little pipes you know this is what you look like in the Dream you're the bean to step up I suppose for sure for sure for sure

uh I saw a question about and I'm trying to find it right now so it makes it hard to pin it but I saw a question about the uh like being able to set ratio for um belts I can't find the comment anymore uh at the moment we don't have any plans for that um because a big part of the game is you are figuring out ratios and stuff like that but could change our minds on that I don't know QA side is the best place to give your feedback on that if you really want like the program a little spitter or something to do that or something I don't know uh

the main reason why they're not Cloud synced at the moment at least is because we were we we did it as a precaution because if the like the expectation when using blueprint the blueprint files is that you want to like share them or copy and paste them to your friends or whatever and the issue when you're like fiddling around with the save files in the Cloud sync folder is that you can sometimes run into the issue where when you change the Cloud sync files outside of the game uh when the game boots up and it's like trying to sync it's going to realize there's a mismatch and it'll pop up this error saying like hey there's a mismatch on the like closing files what do you want to do and a lot of times people aren't into the issue where they click on the wrong thing or even the case where for some reason I don't know why valve Steam and epic does it this way but sometimes I've also have run into case where I changed my files locally and it's like oh you change something do you want to copy from cloud I'm like sure and then it wipes all the save files uh this I've had that a couple of times where people have asked me about that stuff where they've rented the issue right regardless if it's like a human error or not like it's it's a it's a shitty feeling so that's the main reason why we're not Cloud syncing the blueprint files at the moment is because uh we are kind of scared that we've we allow if we make it so that people can fiddle with the files too much they might run into that problem a lot more often that's not to say like there's any technical reason as to why they couldn't be Cloud sync it's just that we've taken that precaution um which there may or may not be like a way around that like in the future maybe we'll do it so you can opt in to Cloud syncing your your your your blueprint files or something like that or if there's another way to do it I don't know but that's how it is right now so if you want your your blueprint files to be Cloud synced uh I don't know Chuck it on the keyway site or something and but then the the biggest kind of people who miss out here are those yeah where they can't really take advantage of it then um and that is yes that is unfortunate but yeah that is the case uh having said that though it's not necessarily impossible that something can be done about it so I guess you can maybe let us know but I don't yeah the team doesn't really want to take that kind of risk so we'll have to see how it goes but you can always have you know make your voices uh and thoughts heard on the QA site uh let the team know and then we can see what we do but yeah I mean the thing is as it is now we've like seriously heartbreaking messages where uh people lose all their save files because of Cloud sync mismatched stuff and then sometimes it's confusing with whether you should download or upload and then when it happens you lose everything and there's nothing we can do about it and people like I just spent 400 hours on this I'm like yeah I can't I can't remember so it really is from like for our perspective it's like we've gotten so many messages like that and it makes us really like oh we don't want to touch that stuff too much because we don't want a surge of issues to occur for people um yeah so that's the main reason and it's a good it's a good uh segue like mess I mentioned here make sure to back up your save files uh regardless you never know what can happen foreign

when the spirecos was redone it was said that the new nodes weren't going to be added right away the only nodes that would be there yeah the original one that moved around uh uh I've avoided building there for that reason don't want to have other nodes under power complex are the new nodes ever going to be added new notes are going to be added but we don't know when um probably oh that's like I actually don't know yeah I don't know when I don't know if they're coming in update eight they might be coming they might not be coming until like 1.0 uh for those of you don't know what I'm talking about um the notes Inspire Coast like there was we had a couple of nodes in the spiracles and then when we remade the spiracles we moved them around we also had the intention which we said I said in a video that we also kind of want to add more nodes to that part of the map because we kind of feel like we would like it so you could go there and have sort of a starter base set up in the spider coast and at the moment there's only like oil nodes in the spider Coast yeah so we in the future we wanted so you can have like a more diverse set of nodes there uh but we won't we wouldn't be out of that in the update seven uh update because we didn't have time to do that and at the moment we don't know when that change will come at the latest it will be in 1.0 um so yes so if you don't want to if you don't want to build there for that reason you might not be able to build there until 1.0 essentially but I guess we'll have to let you guys know yeah when we can but yeah

I think I recall you mused about making official functionality for hypertube cannons any news regarding how CSS feels about hypertube cannons so this information that I have is like super old but I think it's the same um I don't know if we're gonna be we're not touching hypertube cannons I think uh last I spoke to Mark about this which was like two years ago or something uh he was like yeah I kind of like hypertube cannons um at the end of the day they come at an extra cost the extra power cost they're kind of finicky to set up they're not precise and so I think I think he likes the idea that if you can make it work um then just go for it but I don't know if we're I I haven't heard anything about like making like an official have through Canon system no um but I think it's just like a fun sort of emergent things you know that you guys you'll have found out if you don't know what they are Google them look on YouTube you'll learn about them from other people and then you can make them yourself and they're fun to use with jet packs and stuff like that one one common feedback that I've heard is that like one way we could do it is we could make it so like you could overclock hybridoop cannons maybe uh so you would not need to set up as many but yeah we don't have as far as I know there's no plans to touch any of that at all at the moment mm-hmm yeah because like that's in the game now like you can make that it's just quite a lot actually yeah yeah it's really really good yep

so why is the blueprint maker designer so small I would like to put a set of three refiners within connections uh into blueprint the main reason why it's so small is because we wanted to be like chat we don't want it to be too big because we don't want to be able to like just copy and paste the entire factories that was never intentioned we want there to be sort of a puzzle mechanic when it comes to Blueprinting so you'll figure out like modules like the idea isn't that you're supposed to like I built my factory now I just want to copy and paste it the idea is that you're supposed to go to the blueprint machine first and think about like okay how can I create a module of my Factory in such a way where I can reuse it when I'm making my factory that's that that was the intent of of making blueprints essentially as to why we picked that size I think we I think we tested a bunch of different sizes um and just came to the conclusion that like 4x4 was our favorite uh I guess uh um it's my favorite so so I don't know the full rationale why that size specifically the only thing I know that like just adding one more Foundation size like making a five by five will like increase the the size by twice so like it's not just a small increment by doing that you're actually making a huge uh you know increment essentially um but but if you if you want to share your feedback the QA status the best place it goes if you have like specific feedback as to why that site doesn't work for you because I think part of it is like if people feel like I can't copy paste my factory then okay that's not the point so so but if you have any specific feedback as to why you would want to increase the size of it let us know

but um this question which I think I've answered a couple weeks ago maybe is CSS floating Slash playing with another game or concept um and the answer for the most part I believe is no I think I've I think I've heard of some people have come up with some ideas but that's just like naturally what game developers will do and maybe they've documented some of their ideas but I don't think that like we're gonna I mean yeah right now we're focused on satisfactory we can't really be thinking about another game uh and I think that and this is my personal opinion but I think regardless of what we do whenever we wrap up with satisfactory or move on or whatever whatever that looks like whenever that is um I hope that the process of thinking of a new game happens at that time and not before it because I think there's a lot of people who have a lot of input and a lot of creativity who aren't spending that on uh coming with new games right now and who would be we would be it would be bad for us if we didn't take advantage of everyone's creativity when they could focus on coming up with new ideas rather than get like three people to come up with new ideas while everyone else is busy working on the game I don't think that's like the way we get to the best possible next project and it's it's also not how coffee stand has historically everywhere not that we're the same company necessarily as we were before but like when it comes to like sanctum Goat Simulator that was like part of everyone was coming up with random things and goat simulator happened and then we satisfactory everyone was coming up with random things and satisfactory happened and I think you know I think that process is really really good so I hope we're not coming up with ideas now that we will pre-approve to make after satisfactory I'm assuming we'll have another like game Jammy massive sort of brainstorming process together we'll see what happens yeah

is it even possible to fully randomize resource nodes on the map so there's a mod that randomizes quality but cannot change resource types is it technically possible within the game engine to make random placements um so I I think uh technically speaking I'm not entirely sure uh probably um well I'm not sure if I'm not sure if like randomly placing nodes in a different place is something that would work super well or if that works with that system but I I wonder if randomly um randomizing which nodes are where I think that would be something that would be fairly doable well I accidentally pinned a message my bad what's for dinner so watch for dinner yeah I I remember um when we were having the game modes discussion I remember there was actually something with the way we've made the nodes and made it not possible to randomize them and I that I guess also like if if there's not a mod for that that probably also that you know tells that tale that like there's probably more to it than that so but that doesn't say that it won't like that it's impossible to do it but we probably would need to change how the nodes are set up if we do that yeah um I think it would be super sick if we could play some if it's like a randomizer game mode where like the nodes are in the same place but they could just be anything right yeah and it might not like thematically make sense you might have like oil right next to some uh I don't know like Criterium or something like that yeah um but like for replayability reasons it could be really fun I think but like in terms of randomly placing modes I don't know if that's like a super doable or not because then it's like there's a question of like well where's a reasonable place to put a note yeah but who knows maybe maybe you don't care maybe you just want it to be like that anyway and you get nodes in these weird places that make no sense we which could just be fun right if it's a game mode it's just replayability who knows like there's a pretty good argument for that so yeah I don't know I don't know what's technically possible I don't really remember how things work under the hood around nodes anymore so no but it it's a cool idea I like it um I'm huge into like the Hitman freelance more right now which is not really that but kinda because they do randomize a few things and it very like it really varies the game a bit so it'd be cool to just be like you know you start off and you're like oh I've got coal and nuclear next to each other or like uranium so like yeah yeah

should we wrap it up it's getting uh what we should yes we should but there's wait there's one thing that I where is it where is it where is it where is it where is it where is it okay someone asked oh did I find it someone asked can we get green tech oh I just found it just as I clicked away here we need Green Tech uh make solar panels yeah maybe you do right now the reason I'm bringing this up is because we're not gonna add it um but here's here's a video where I talk about not only how we're not going to be adding oh I like this but there's five other things that we're not gonna add I made a whole video about it all right and here's the thing guys I've had a goal there's two goals of mine yeah since becoming a community manager and like doing content creation there were just crazy goals that I thought would never ever ever happen but they were just goals that I had one was to get to 10 000 followers on Twitter and I'm very close to that and then the other one is get a video to 1 million views that I made and that video guys for some reason that I don't understand it's not even my best video I'm not even close um is that 928 000 views guys so if you could I don't know watch that make sure you like make sure you comment try keep getting YouTube to pump it a little bit I'm so close to meeting my my goal you guys uh I actually maybe I don't know I I don't know why I don't care about views that much but this is just a thing that I wanted to achieve so um please please help Jace achieve this so he can feel empty afterwards this would be like oh we achieve my goal you will get nothing for it I guess no but you know what neither will I yeah we get to a million and nothing will change I know what I mean like you're gonna get to million be like oh I achieved my goal uh now what yeah exactly I mean I mean like how is a million any any more uh impressive than 928 000 that's that's already insane right so I'm already like really grateful that it's doing well at all uh it's just like an arbitrary number that I had picked a long time ago and it would just be cool to see but I don't it's it's obviously not really that important regardless of that stuff like regardless how many views the video has I think it's one of the more interesting videos we've ever made because it it's kind a bold to be like this is not this is what we're not doing with the game because we are very open about a lot of things like stuff that you know we felt a long time ago we're not gonna do this We're Not Gonna add pipes is this not gonna happen turns out we added pipes but there's there's a few things that we feel like this is not satisfactory and and I don't think a lot of people think about that stuff uh when it comes to game day because I think I think a lot of people just see like just add everything and it'll be the better game it doesn't work that way and I think that video explains pretty well why it doesn't work that well that way as well not just like listing what it is did you say no to blueprints at one point I'm not sure if we ever said like no we never said no we always said uh who knows maybe you'll probably you could probably find a clip somewhere I was saying no but like my understanding for the longest time what we've been really careful to say was that we've had multiple discussions about it we revisit it every now and then and it it is it it had always leaned towards no we don't want it no we don't want it no we don't want it but it was a conversation that kept coming up again and again and again and no one was ever going to say we're not gonna have it because it was always somewhat interesting right it was always viable it was always there was always merits to it and then eventually the team was like actually I think we do one yeah I don't yeah it was no like that's not something that we ever said a harsh no to I think I mean I think I said a harsh note of pipes though I will take that um it just makes it funnier though yeah and then there's even an article on um there's an article right when that was written by who was it yeah Jesus PC Gamer or maybe satisfactory lied to the community yeah search for that you get the article how satisfactory is developers is Rock Paper Shotgun that's yeah yeah yeah trick Their audience and why they loved it and it goes into a lot of the lore about uh surrounding pipes in update three and how how amazing and big that moment was and at the end of it um it says uh it says um so what so the person asked us what if this stunt leads satisfactious players to expect anything and everything from the game in the future we've had people say that uh Varley says Jay says things like flying vehicles drones or whatever always come up and people have been like well in that case we're going to get our drones because we we say we're not going to add them and then Tim says I don't think we're gonna get them are we Mark and then Mark director Mark says maybe I don't know and then I say I said no to drones in the past so it makes sense that we'll add them yeah the next update we asked yeah but we didn't know we didn't know they were adding them at that time we genuinely okay yeah we didn't yeah because the next update was actually 3.5 so update four came like a year later we didn't know we're adding drones at that point good man yeah so like but I I feel like we've been very careful with our wording is like not say definite no on a lot of things we always say like we we probably not but we don't say definitely like no but there's definitely a few things that we definitely know definitely definitely definitely We're Not Gonna but are we there

[Music]

um but yeah those things in the video are things like that we we I'm 99.9999 sure we're not gonna add and and I I wanted to make really sure that if I was going to make a video that was gonna be you know like click baity or like Sensational in its title we're not adding these things that I wanted to be really sure that okay if we get if I'm gonna if I'm gonna bait you in like that I want to be really like serious about about like and and honest about what we do like I don't want to like bait you in and then like with you yeah um I don't want to play with you guys like that uh anymore apparently I had no issue doing it in the past but I don't anymore um yeah make a part two of that video literally part two of that video has been added to our list of videos to make so there's something maybe a cooking around a brewing a brewing yeah um yeah

smart splitters for whoa it disappeared when I pinned it wait there we go smart Splitters uh and uh or sinks for fluids so do we have to stick to the pack unpack with overflow packed items method so uh smart splitters for fluids I'm not quite sure what you mean by that because you can't mix fluids you can only have one fluid and one pipe segment so it doesn't really make sense to have a splitter unless you want to split like different ratios which you can with the the vents so maybe I'm not understanding but when it comes to like syncing fluids that's yeah definitely something that we've intentionally not had added to the game because we want that like little challenge that you do have to pack them if you want to sync them and that's totally something you can do but then you need to solve that like logistical problem right um but it's not impossible that you know we cover on this like given so please post on the QA side if upload that I'm pretty sure there's already a ticket on it if you if you really want to see that and uh we'll see what happens I guess indeed thank you

uh why does gas marks stop working when in truck because all the equipment are unequipped when you enter Vehicles because there's some kind of reason for that there's like some issue is that is that a design uh reason or is it uh is it technical no it's a technical reason as far as I know really yeah it's been like that since forever because when you if you have equipment equipped while you're in vehicles it messes up with like the player controller and stuff like that I'm pretty sure

[Music]

make sure to let people know on the QA site but I think this is something that's been it is super known yeah yeah I'm pretty sure it's really known yeah but uh always you could still let people know the QA site let them know maybe the solution to fixing attachments when the hyper tube yeah so that's an actual similar thing with like the vehicles right because they get real like we detach the attachments on you when you're in the hypertube for some reason and that's why they're floating next to you right because they're still they're still on you but they're not equipped so the mesh is still there it's strange

can you tell us when your plan on uh giving us a day for update 8 no the date for update but a date for when you will give you a date for when we'll announce a date for when we'll announce a date for update 8. uh no but for real though um it is fairly soon that we can start dropping some more information I would say probably nothing in the next couple weeks maybe y'all will get more information we can't I can't say that you will for sure but I'm pretty sure that within the month you can say that we're kind of in pre-production of making sort of the the stuff that we do at least you know for the content that we put out we're sort of in that pre-production stage right now where we're planning what kind of content we're gonna put out and how we're gonna announce things Etc we've sort of mixed it up a little bit between updates you know like with update six for instance we dropped everything from the get-go with update seven I think we did a little bit differently so that's kind of we're in the face right now where we're planning sort of how we drop information and announcements and stuff like that so I mean that's that's a thing I guess yep

um please make the main game uh mode where the monsters are much more aggressive let us defend them from building walls in different areas um so this Strays pretty close to the whole like base defense element of the game which I don't think we we've been pretty clear on that we don't want to go down but this is also what you're saying is not necessarily that they attack the base and destroy your factory but maybe that they're just there and more annoying you need to deal with them all the time I think that if there's a decent amount of requests for that it could be a possibility but um you're gonna have to put that in the QA site and see if there's much more support we haven't I'm gonna say that I don't think I've heard that be requested too often so probably not a huge chance but yeah

you had a question that I interrupted you maybe you don't have it anymore it's gone now that's gone um here's a question and someone said please pin the posts okay we'll do that here here's one will there be a major Improvement FPS wise to be expected uh I don't know I don't know if it depends what you consider major and it also depends on so many factors like like what your setup is uh and things like that and it also depends like how your factory is built because that can affect uh performance in certain ways and then we may have certain optimizations that affect certain issues like certain bottlenecks but not others so it's it's really really hard to answer the question um yeah I don't know I don't know if there's going to be major FPS uh things um I feel like between One update to another probably not from like from like multiple updates probably and I don't mean updates I mean like patches like probably you're probably going to see if for like you if you play the game the way it ran in like 2020 or whatever it ran so much better now at least on my machine but uh it's it's like a constant we're making micro adjustments all the time um finding like all these uh bottlenecks Etc takes a long time making we we are making like big fixes that have like incremental improvements uh we're at that point really there's like no real low hanging fruit uh but we are working on performance all the time so it's like it's never it's always on our plates to make things better and that there are things that uh that we're working on that will hopefully you know fix or help maybe improve some people's things but like we won't really know until we test that with you guys and see how it goes yeah yeah but like it's it's hard to give a really clear answer to that question because it's like what what is Major yeah it also as we're improving performance you guys are also building more which also is more demanding so like it's a constant battle between those two things which makes it hard for like some people to actually ever notice performance Improvement yeah exactly because if you're if your game uh becomes like under more load quicker than we can optimize yeah uh it's not as if we're not optimizing it but also your performance will decrease yeah uh good question

is there a release window for full release this person has been out of the the loop for a while so forgiven if the answer's already been given um so there's no we've not publicly given any sort of release window for the full release yet we do have plans internally uh however that doesn't really mean much uh we've had plans internally for a long time and it moves around a lot uh it seems like the plan so that we have for are probably going to be a bit more fixed now um than before but who knows only time will tell right now we're just looking towards update 8 which unfortunately I can't give you a date on that either uh it's uh but hopefully we can start talking about it soon yeah I I I feel compelled to give something here and uh I don't know all I'll say is that it's not it's not like it's not super far updated is probably not it's probably not super far famous last words uh as as we know now it's not super far away yeah you have given dates though and I think you can give a date now uh sure could probably just give another one yeah yeah probably like uh yeah probably February it's already February February two probably February 8th I think that's probably a good date yeah that's a good day yeah maybe yeah go with it it's a nice round number oh hang on I'm getting a call from Stefan what's going on he says turn off he says that there's a fire fired there's a fire or something the office is fired yeah weird I don't know I think he's Swedish yeah weird yeah yeah well we'll check with the master story yeah yeah yeah it'll be fine uh what stage is the game at at the moment in its entire lifetime if you were to guess it's always so hard to say because there's a there's a famous saying that like the the last 10 of your game is like half the game development or the half the time development so because the game feels like it's like 90-ish percent well maybe a little less actually because I feel like there's some content missing that should be there but yeah a little bit more than that yeah maybe 80 90 something like that but like wrapping that all up is very hard yeah but the thing is yeah but the thing is like our team is kind of split on working on different things like there's some bigger plans that we have further down the line uh and you know people are already working on Futures things things that are going to be coming after update 8 so yep we'll see hopefully you know after update eight we'll be able to tie things up eventually

damn it my question disappeared oh my name's Smith my question to speak will we be able to sleep I don't think so I think I think we're gonna address the thing where people are like complaining about the the night stuff by just having a game mode where you don't need it or something like that I thought I thought I thought night mode has gotten much better I feel like it has I don't see as many people complain about it but I definitely see some mention maybe they just go tired of coming yeah what do you guys think is night mode still too dark or hard to plan or one if it's too much two if it's okay wait can I do a poll no because we're not affiliate oh one day twitch Senpai will notice us one if what I say one if if it's too dark too if it's not too dark and any other number if you're illiterate that's too bad chat it's a lot of people insomnia mode yeah we never sleep but there's still some ones in there yeah maybe maybe we can make it a thing who knows make it a make it a game mode or something an option just for those people who don't like the night time wait when that mode has gotten better but it would be nice to get lights are earlier interesting

once it's 1.0 is out will you make DLC slash add-ons with new maps uh potentially uh we don't really know what we're doing uh beyond that we have there's like we have like an infinitely long list of things that could potentially go in the game uh and and infinitely long list is very big so like 90 of those things won't go in the game um you know we have so what 1.0 is to us is something that we consider to be a complete version of the game of course there are other things that could still be in it and so it could be that those things are added after 1.0 but we don't really know we don't really know what the future is going to hold and right now we're just focusing on getting to 1.0 but right now it's update 8 and then it's anything else after that and then it's 1.0 foreign

what is considered done in game um most of the machine circuits that are done yeah they might be like recipe changes sure but they changes potentially one of the first things that we focused on finishing as soon as possible was like the whole how do you describe it like that the machine gameplay aspect of it so like most of the machines are pretty done yeah it's it's kind of it's actually a kind of weird question because I feel like there's not like a lot that's done as in like yeah we're never touching that again it's hard to say too because like I think they're definitely things where we consider like this isn't done and then when we reach 1.0 we're gonna realize no that was done because like you can always you can always keep working on the game for forever like the a game is finished when you decide it's finished like it there's never Aid when you stop working yeah yeah exactly the game is finished when you stop working on it yeah and um it's also one of those things that like it's it's always hard to know because I get like a game is not a bunch of individual features right everything works together and when you touch something something else moves and so like what might seem done now uh might require changes in the future so it's kind of hard to know like but I mean like it's it's weird to say well nothing's done but there's it's a game that people have played for hundreds if not thousands of hours um so a lot of things are done in many ways but it's probably very few things that we we would say are absolutely final

[Music]

but a lot of things are very close to final yeah and just maybe need a few little tweaks and a Polish pass so no new machines will be added I think new machines probably be added so that's not what I said yeah yeah exactly yeah

also Implement more realistic physics so foundations require supports this is something that we played with many years ago and we had a working prototype of that and then we were like no no how about no yeah so uh yeah I don't think that's gonna happen actually I don't that's that's a pretty hard no I think we really didn't like it yeah no yeah also if if you thought your computers were running hot while playing the game just wait until we had more physics oh yeah exactly

but pretty please can we cut down a bit on the Unspeakable machine name for recipes in the end game but what does that mean wait oh uh refinery is it Refinery yeah uh we we know about that um this was an issue that this was worse before yeah and we try to address it should be better now and uh but we are Mark actually asks me from time to time like hey do people still and like a refiner still super annoying like uh we are aware of that so um uh and QA site QA for sure team let the team know see like they need to hear you guys on the QA site yeah you can't use that word wait will twitch banners yeah it's uh oh I didn't know I haven't I haven't read that late if the terms of service yeah I actually have just started spamming a bunch of refiners from my Turbo fuel bit building oh no you said it I am uh oh sorry oh uh and uh I I feel I feel the pain yeah uh uh is your dad texting you right now if you want to talk to your dad I can totally I understand yeah I think I need to just take my dad okay yeah yeah kind of missing if they weren't so tall wait you don't like tall buildings that's fine

but it's on blueprint undo I think it's a great idea yeah it would be safely if it's uh doable or not it would definitely uh I don't know what kind of edge cases it might create um and but that's like a concern with every feature but like on the surface it sounds like a great idea I mean undo in general in the game I think that's the thing right yeah because like why just blueprints why not for the entire yeah yeah exactly if we add it we should add it to everything yeah

uh will we be able to mirror uh for example Refinery so we can finally get symmetrical mirroring setups this is something that you should definitely put in the QA site I haven't seen super big support for that internally at this stage but if you guys show more support who knows maybe maybe um I think it's I think it's a feature that if if you watch The Bugs video you'll you'll know that looking for good bang for our buck is really important and I think if we have an entire feature where you can mirror your buildings what we get for that is like a slightly more aesthetic build in some cases and nothing else but that's a lot of work and so it doesn't sound like a good bang for our buck in my opinion um and so I think that's a hard sell when there's other more critical things that are needed for sure but you can always suggest it if it's really really requested then maybe we can do it because if you guys really want something that factors into our decision making even if it makes a little less sense but if you guys are happier then maybe we'll do it

any updates on the new tutorial uh no no updates on no words on the tutorial last thing if we do that yeah it is like the most important part of the game is like the first uh uh like your first time user experience so like that's the thing you really want to be sure that the game is like finished and ready so you know like but but I doubt we'd put much time into it right now when there's new things that we plan on adding so we might want to do that yeah lost when we've got everything else in so that we know that we can explain everything well I think the tutorial at the moment is pretty decent pretty good so I don't think we're in too much of a rush but of course we should absolutely absolutely revisit it to make sure we get it as good as it can possibly be it's super important for new players because it's definitely um I was gonna say how did I forget what I was going to say the moment when I started speaking because because I don't feel like we've seen ambulance um I think the thing we also kind of want to check out as well with the new because we added new analytics system or no not analytics but metric system in the game because we want to kind of figure out like where people drop off as well so like maybe we we need a little bit data on like knowing specifically like where people get stuck in the game if they get stuck so like if we start working on a tutorial system before we know have that data fully established then we might be focusing on like the wrong parts of the game where we think like oh this is something that people don't understand but it might be something else that people will get stuck on so we also kind of want to gather a little bit more data on that thank you I know that like uh pipes and coal power was always a uh you should drop off point in the past hmfs oh boy God I'm still well oh my God I still have flashbacks when I try to go to sleep you get stuck at that point then you're already screwed like you you've gone too far

automated farming

[Music]

um I think so the team has expressed interest in farming it makes sense I think it would be a really fun element to add onto the game and I think it would be pretty relevant to what's already there so who knows might be might be a thing

a way for faster Auto saves uh right now there's no way for there's nothing you can do to make a lot of saves faster they just kind of depending on what your build is um but in terms of us making Auto Sales quicker we do what we can to you know we always try and revisit that and um optimize all areas of the game and Auto Sales is one of them I think maybe when we get safe if we get save files like Andrew's one or something like that maybe we can look into it and find small ways to optimize things but at the end of the day there's only so much we can do especially with a game where you can build infinitely so

character customization that's something that like I think has been like pretty interesting for us at the studio especially you know at the very least changing colors of the the character for like multiplayer and stuff makes perfect sense so I don't know to what degree we're interested in doing character customization but I think um it makes sense to add it to the game personally different hats yeah hats make sense has makes sense beanie on the helmet that makes sense that makes sense

the game made in C sharp no that's made in the yeah mostly in C plus but also blueprints there might be some c-sharp stuff that's done within like build build chain tools and stuff like that but for the most part we use C plus plus there's like a 40 minute video detailing how the game is made and the tools they use on YouTube channel that's true that's true actually let me find that video I worked really hard on that video so I would appreciate it if you uh checked it out uh 69 tools satisfactory there it is copy link address here I'll give it to you guys so there's no excuse I wanna I wanna one thousand word paper on my desk in the morning next week on Monday that was a good video actually thank you very much I worked super hard on that and I was in Australia when I was working on that too so like I worked on a bunch before I filmed it and then I went to Australia and I was editing it with Mason our other editor um so I was like doing that while trying to like hang out with family and friends in Australia is weird that was a good time like a year ago

uh other plans to reduce more cause and effect to the game so I um I feel like there should be consequences for abusing this pretty little planet yeah right so uh there was like I know in the very beginning of satisfactory there was the intention that um you know like if you build like a lot of stuff it will affect the environment and that might screw with things maybe create like bigger monsters or whatever and then we ended up scrapping that very early I think just to sort of simplify the game I think that the interest for that is probably one where most people are probably like yeah that would be cool but I think it's also something where we I think it's gotten to a point where it's also something that's just not as important as other things like it's one it's it's a cool feature but there's a lot of features that would just be cool but what is the game what do we think the game absolutely needs to get to 1.0 and I'm not sure if we think that environment stuff um matters uh for a 1.0 release uh yeah that's kind of where I think it lies right now

have you guys ever pondered about taming and breeding the mobs yeah I think a lot of people like the idea of like like of like farming and then like could even be breeding with like animals who knows um but I don't really know where that fits in our plans for what we need for 1.0 or not

could there be some uh creative or cheats most likely so with in Update 7 we've added the ability to support game modes and with that came uh like passive mode or the retaliation mode where uh creatures won't attack you unless you attack them first or the default mode where they're you know aggressive creatures are aggressive um and that's the groundwork for Creative for uh game modes in the future and I think a creative mode is a very obvious one and I'm 99 sure that that's something that's going to come but it's it's something that we don't we we haven't wanted to work on um through the majority of development because we don't we don't necessarily want to encourage everyone to easily go into creative mode I know some people go get mods anyway and they can get something like that and that's fine if you go and jump through those Hoops to do that but we don't want to just give people a button to turn on creative mode if they're frustrated with the normal mode because we want you to be frustrated with the normal mode if it's frustrating so that you can tell us so that we can make it less frustrating you know what I mean so if we give creative mode too early we may miss out on a lot of feedback and I know that maybe comes at the cost of maybe the fun for some people so like who knows maybe it's a good decision maybe it's not but that's just the justification yeah but uh creative mode is is an obvious uh an obvious game mode I think that should be added personally

is there a possibility to get first-person cameras and vehicles for me the third person always kills the immersion uh possibly I think there's a chance the thing is Vehicles will probably get reworked um at least under the hood I don't know if their functionality in game will change but they're likely going to get some work done to them and I think generally what we do is we try and if we're going to rework something then we just we save all the work for it until we dive into it so I since we have plans to rework vehicles I doubt we're going to do anything even with the camera if we do it at all um but I doubt we'd do anything with the camera until we dedicate time to the vehicles as a whole

will there be a way to make use of post 780 parts per minute for MK3 miners so that's something that we will address at some point yeah we will address that at some point that's my understanding yeah um any plans over 1200 Min per minute belt or Miner uh probably not so as I was saying before we get Precision issues as the number of uh units in the through port throughput or like that are being generated or sunk or or even fluids right when these numbers as these numbers increase we actually like mathematically and not just mathematically but like they're just technical issues and like limitations that start to uh cause issues and so I think that if anything if anything uh there might end up being a point in time where we scale down everything just so that we we don't have to deal with that technical limitation so much anymore and you guys can have more Precision but like in a relative sense right so it will still essentially be the same game it's just like list numbers um and then so if I take your question then like is there going to be a 1200 per minute belt or is there going to be a foster belt uh uh maybe if we can get around these technical issues that could possibly be floating Point Precision issues yeah so it is floating Point Precision issues that's one part of it but it's also like the other issue is also like um the way now I don't know this I'm trying to think of this if I can get this correct but it's also a matter of like when you're how many how many items gets processed per frame right now if if we if if there's like if you're you've got items zipping through and in one frame they're supposed to be like six items that go into a building because maybe I don't know you have a low frame rate or there's a spike in at this one moment or if if the uh the the belt is so obscenely quick that that happens accounting for all of these different like movements within the factory uh in the factory tick can be really tough uh I think I think you can only actually do the way it is you can only do like one at a time or something like that and then I think we have to then simulate frames to make up for it if there's like a one long frame I don't know all this like weird so it's it's not just the floating Point position issue which I think is there as well but it's also like how do you handle if there's a lag Spike or if there's just low FPS and there's a lot of uh um items that get you know produced or sunk into a building how do we handle that on conveyor belts or split or merged how do we handle that like completely accurately right because you guys you guys will know if there's like a one percent sway you will notice it in your factory won't you you will like your power will go out or you know buildings will be like backed up like you will know it it so it really needs to be really really really precise like 100 of the time otherwise you will feel it in your factory and that's that's a very hard issue to solve especially on like computers where frame rates can be variable and all that kind of stuff so Update 7 was a huge Improvement on your lag and lag spikes that's good to hear the math yeah it's a it's a combination of like math and just like like algorithmic logic kind of you know it's like how how do we handle it how do we handle it what do we do there should have been 10 items that went into this building what do we do how do we calculate that

what's your stance on terraforming and do you plan for update 809 my stance I'll give you my stance on terraforming right now are you ready I don't like it well the uh terraforming as a feature I think is an interesting feature in games I don't think our game needs terraforming uh I don't think we can add terraforming to our game um I don't think I don't think you all the same terraforming in satisfactory I'm pretty confident in that um but I I genuinely don't think our game needs it like I I made a video about this people made fun of me like what our game is and game isn't right but like uh one of the points that I made was like just because you can imagine a good feature right in a game and I think like if we could imagine satisfactory and there was terraforming it would maybe be a better game right it would maybe be a better game but just because like there is a feature you can add to your game that would make your game better that doesn't mean you have to add the feature and it also doesn't mean you're actually lacking something uh because there's a million things that your game can be like a million there's an infinite number of things in fact not even a million a billion maybe even a trillion things that can be in your game um so and it's really really easy to see things that are like hey this could be cool and so terraforming is one of those uh terraforming could absolutely be cool it might cause more headaches than it's worth um techno technically speaking I I don't see how it will be possible at this point and design wise I don't think the game needs it I don't think it needs it it would be so much work for something that probably isn't needed yeah if we could snap our fingers and it'd be in the game and all the user experience issues and the knock-on effects of adding terraforming could be solved maybe maybe it would be good but yeah could add map editing instead I think map editing would be uh more doable than terraforming but I I don't know what the plan is for I don't know if there's going to be any map editing maybe maybe like some ability to expose map editing for mods or something who knows maybe that could be a thing in the future I'm spitballing ideas I'm not saying we're doing it

I played this game a while ago but never installed it as I'm waiting on control support how is it doing uh there's probably been I think there's been no progress in control of support and I'm still not entirely sure on what the official stance is going to be on controller support uh I think if we could click our fingers and have control support we would want it um for the longest time we did have control support in the very beginning and I think to some degree there is some control of support but there's not a lot of thought that's gone into it um but we didn't want to do it because we thought the game is changing a lot a lot of things are being added we don't really want to keep revisiting control support every single time we do something because we want to focus on getting the design of the game done and getting the features of the game that that are needed in um but then now at the stage I'm not really sure where we stand like I I don't know if the planner right now is well when all that's done we'll get the control support in or not uh I think if we can have control support of course we would want it there's so many good reasons uh you know some people just like control support but also for accessibility reasons controllers can be really good for people too and so it would be great if we can do that but it all comes down to uh you know the planning and prioritizing features and I'm not sure what what the you know the plans or the intention of the team is uh on the on the front do people play it on Steam decks okay I'm not sure does people who hit plays satisfaction steam deck does anyone play Satisfaction on Steam deck you do I do okay that's pretty good

just want to have Road pieces again we've actually worked on road pieces way way back when and I don't remember why we stopped working on them I don't think it's an impossibility that we'll have them but also I'm not sure how high prior they are at this point in development it might be a bit tough to get them in uh over other features but at the same time especially with blueprints people are making some really good stuff when it comes to roads they take a bit more effort there's you know they're not like dragging and drunkness well they are when they're blueprints but you know they're not like easily buildable like conveyor belts or something are uh but these look really really good and in fact this was made with blueprints um I think there was someone on either the last stream that we featured we may even or maybe it's two streams ago he was making all these like Highway pieces in blueprints uh and yeah so I think there's been like a lot of good work when it comes to roads and blueprints how often do you make zero mistakes I have never made zero mistakes not even once

[Music]

but adding the ability to build a cover on belts that you could build onto finished factories belt uh belts help performance um people have asked this since since like day one actually um and I think I think it might it like maybe in some cases but uh I actually think that yeah I'm not sure it's something that we've not wanted to do and part of me wants to say and I don't know if this is correct or not but part of me wants to say that like the rendering of the items on the belts is not really necessarily the bottleneck I think because we've done some really clever stuff with the way that we instance the items on belts so we actually draw them in very very few draw calls and stuff and so like if I if I remember that correctly um and that like a lot of the bottlenecks come elsewhere from like other buildings or from calculating things in the background like the game uh the game itself is actually as far as again as far as I know as of now it is CPU bound so it's it's uh it's it's more like all the calculations that happen for like what's going on in your factory is what holds things back more often than not um yeah

DLS is satisfactory so DLS s dlss is not planned at the moment because we haven't seen any uh reasonable like reason to do it because the thing with the LSS is that it improves the rendering time or like it it fakes rendering like it it low it unloads rendering time off the GPU but the game is CPU Bound for the most part so it wouldn't actually make a huge difference um so so we haven't really seen a huge advantage of having that and also if you have a GPU that can support dlss then you already have a GPU that's well within reason to be able to render the game like rendering isn't a heavy portion for satisfactory this is It's the CPU bound game um so if your course are maxed then or like if your CPU is Max then like having a faster GPU won't actually increase the the render time uh not even my save I mean I'm not sure but there's a bunch of issues too with um with uh like the way we do rendering as well where the LSS wouldn't really work because it can't actually do proper proper Magic so we don't really we don't really think there's going to be any good gain by implementing it at the moment

does it support multiple cores well I mean it supports multiple cores but there's always going to be uh uh like there's only so much parallelization we can do in the game because we are also Bound by Logic um you know we I think I used this example last time I talked as about talked about this as well but when it comes to you know threading and multi multi parallelization it's like sometimes you know you can't produce a baby faster like you can't have nine ladies produce one baby in one month it doesn't work like that uh so uh yes

there it is I was like I didn't get a single question about turbo fuel for jet packs to stream it has it really been a stream if there's no question about turbo field for jet packs uh the answer to that question is maybe in the future because the issue isn't necessarily that okay I'm gonna give the full answer like because I don't want to just dismiss someone for asking that question but because it is it is a valid question and I actually don't care if people ask the same question every time because how are you supposed to know that it's your first time asking the question unless you know naughty naughty but um we would like to have it so you can have uh um plutonium fuel rats we would like to have it so you can have turbo fuel engine in your jet pack one idea that we had uh that we've been throwing around a little bit and maybe we'll do it maybe we won't I'm not saying that this is what we're gonna do but there's definitely like there's definitely room to have the possibility to have turbo fuel for jet packs and one idea we had was that uh maybe we could make it so that you can unlock the jet pack a little bit earlier than it you can right now but it's like a significantly worse jet pack than it is right now and you use the packaged fuel for the worst version of the of the jet pack and when you make turbo fuel you can use that and it will work the way that jetpack works today in the current iteration of the of the of the game uh that's one idea we don't know if that's actually going to work or not because there might be some balancing issue uh but that's that's that's one thing we were thinking about um so yeah it's already terrible well get ready to go it's gonna get a lot worse if we do that so yes

the rebound Scout for update seven um good question actually that's a good question no I don't think so uh maybe I don't know it this goes this goes back this goes back into like a little bit of like we're we're sort of trying to figure out when we can release it and what we can do in that time and you know if we feel like it's it doesn't make sense to to uh to release it at a certain point in time then you know maybe we'll be able to do more if we delay it or whatever and it's also something we're trying to figure out like or maybe it's more important for us to get this next update out so that we can work on the next thing so that's also something that we're trying to figure out so it's our I like we haven't fully decided yet you know actually what goes into this update and the rebalancing is one of those things where maybe now but also maybe later down the line uh so it's it's I don't think it will be a huge rebalance in update seven but I might be wrong because development is a fleeting thing so maybe we'll have time for it or maybe we won't but I doubt it at the moment uh let's say yes

ever thought of making twitch integration in the game we have um actually thought about that the the problem with twitch integration is that um I think it would be pretty cool and I I and I I wish we had a better opportunity for it because I think we could do something really interesting because I think I think a lot of games that have twin certification are pretty stingy about it and I don't understand why um but the problem with the game is that like it's very easy to cheat stuff so like if people are watching and they get coupons or whatever then they could they could get coupons some other way so like maybe it's a fun thing as a bonus on top of that um but I think it would be cool to have like you know twitch integration where like you can spawn like maybe enemies or something like that or you know the ones where people make it so that you turn around and dismantle something or like that I think those type of integration uh things would be pretty cool um but yeah the hard thing is just like valuing like what what's worth doing um but if people have ideas please post them on the QA side uh and let us know uh what you would like to see like twitch chat on signs and stuff would be also be cool so we've definitely thought about it but it's always like either we work on that or we work on um something else you know like it's it's always like a question of like what do we spend time on

will the game end if we complete the story or can we play afterwards pretty sure this is my guess but pretty sure you're gonna be able to play the game afterwards i think story is gonna be it's not gonna be like take the stage so to speak i think when we add story to the game it's going to be like a like a side thing it's not going to be the game isn't going to be like the pacing of the game is going to be controlled by the story i think the story more so is going to be like a like a yes a side side chick the store is going to be a side chick for the game okay like you because like i think the ambition is you're gonna be able to play the game without playing the story at all and you're still gonna sort of get the experience that you're getting today yeah you can ignore the story i'm pretty sure that's that's what we're still so here's here's why i'm like hesitating on that is because we've been changing internally a lot about like how how the story works and like how it plays into the game we've been going through so many iterations of like what the story is and how the story plays into the game so you know it's still pending pending to change but i think i think that's still our stance that like you can completely ignore the story if you want to

plan the dedicated server will fully support multi-threading technically dedicated already support multi-threading it's the fact that like the game can't be more threaded than the game is you know like you can't you can't just add more threads uh to a game and expect it to run faster like sometimes it can actually get worse the more thread it gets so we have we have made the game as threaded as it can be there are i think there's some bug on like linux dedicated servers where it doesn't actually use any more thread than it already like allocated so it's only running on one thread which is with that is a bug but i think we solve that um but if you're noticing that like oh it's using a bunch of threads it's not using every thread then you know you're running as many threads as you can right now essentially

what is your favorite biome so far boy i mean my favorite biome is always the latest one because like i i i can see myself improving every time with like how how i build things or just like sometimes i have this thing where i i don't necessarily like something for what it is but for what it could be if that makes sense uh when i see like the potential in a place or or like oh like all these things that i sort of still have in my mind layered on top of it that changes things too but like i mean i really like how this spider coast turned out i'm really proud of it um i'm i mean northern forest's the same thing like i don't know like it's it's all cool it's yep we talked a little bit about this before too like when we were comparing the different clips here and between the the uh rocky desert and the uh spider coaster you just tilt the camera to the left here not tilt wait it's roll whatever no it's not roll whatever um how like the cliffs the way we're doing clips now looks different compared to how we used to do them and they're like ah do we go back and look at the uh change all the clips again but then once we do that we're going to change it again pan is not the term i'm looking for chat by the way i see a lot of people say there's a lot of a lot of terms that people always use like pan and stuff like that where it's actually not correct i can't remember the actual term whatever um no it's not swivel there's there's a fancy diagram for like filming um

[Music]

i cannot remember everyone just uses pan like just pan left i was like all right that's pen exactly the movement is part of it too uh so yeah we just never never stop working on the game i guess no yeah that's the that's the risk too right like you're never really done uh you just have to decide you're done at some point and then that's that's your limit because you could always always make something prettier like there's a lot of work i'm doing on the sparrow coast that i'm i know that i can i can improve it and i can make it better but kind of like we talked about earlier like that that 20 improvement would take me the same time as working on this entire area like again right it's just not worth the amount of time and effort for the the small amount of gain even though i know it's possible it's not uh there's other sacrifices too like doing not for sparkles means that suddenly sparkles is gonna be so beyond quality-wise the rest of the map that the rest of the map is gonna kind of suck in comparison right that's something that you also have to keep in mind like we don't have time to upgrade every single area to the same exact level we just have to kind of keep it uh the moment you like improve something above and beyond the rest you kind of start needing to improve the rest as well so you shoot yourself in the foot again it's like like eternal improvement cycles right uh because you want to sort of equalize the level of quality across the entire map and like i i'm absolutely already pushing that and shooting myself in the foot with that with this kind of stuff because like also because like i've learned so much ever since i started working that like you know everything i do like i want it i want it to be better and i want things to be nicer but not i shouldn't always do that right you have to keep things consistent too yeah stop getting better hannah yeah yeah yeah it's like oh no before i uh go mad with power you know or we just work on the game forever i guess that's a big problem

any plans for extreme weather that affects productivity it affects productivity never i don't that's that's part of like the video we put out a couple of weeks ago on a youtube channel like something that we don't want to ever add to the game is like any kind of maintenance aspect of the game um you know we already have fog exactly like uh remember how much worse the fog was by the way you guys in the past you guys have it good right now with the fog okay i'm just saying um what was i talking about yeah so so weather effects is something that we always wanted to add to the game i think is really cool and i think we always felt that it was really cool we've had ideas in the past where like oh what if you know the more factories you put out in the the map it like rains acid rain or something like that and you have to maintain your factories but it's like a cool idea and concept but i don't think we like that and that's kind of like abandoned that idea um so uh we've been uh kind of like kind of putting our foot down and saying like no we're not gonna add that kind of stuff but weather effects could be cool in general for the game by itself just having like rain and stuff like that i think that would be really nice it's a nice little detail and it's something that we always wanted but it's it always gets like pushed because there's always like something more you know crucial to the game or whatever like it's it's kind of hard sometimes when you're working on games like this where you want to add so much polish to it but like it's hard to like define like where is the polish you know because the weather system is a huge task you know working on and making so um so uh it's like it's a tricky balance there as to like what we would need to do minimum for it to be worth the hassle of doing it especially when we have so many else cool things everyone implements

increase object limit when so uh never we can actually say that for sure because the object limit isn't something that we've set this is not something that we can control either because it's something that is part of the engine um and you know the engine isn't really intended to be used the way we use it um it's it has to do with how the memory is managed uh in the engine and like you can sort of up that limit using config files and that's been possible ever since day one but uh the problem is that like there's no there's like you're kind of like losing out on safeguards when you do that so like a lot of weird things can happen memory wise if you start you know changing that number uh because that is a theoretical limit um so like there's been people reporting that like they've had their save files corrupted or you know like weird stuff happening factory logic not working the way they should um so it is always recommended that we don't change that we are however working on improving the game so we don't have to use as many game objects now a game object isn't the same as like an object that you place in the world it has a memory object specifically so like if you place a constructor for instance it used to be that a constructor was like maybe 16 different game objects and now it's like down to eight and i think there's plans to improve that as well and like maybe not specific for the constructor but like for a lot of different things we are constantly working on improving the memory footprint of the game and uh i believe recently we've been working a lot on like the environment to like kind of get down the memory footprint on that and like how we manage loading the environment and stuff like that um so um but we can't really change the the like the u object limit the unreal object limit uh that's set by the engine

why is mac supported four and not six or eight i'm not asking for more but four seems low especially considering the 128 event so i mean i i mean you know it could be whatever but we have to sort of then balance the game so that it works for that many people right so we we if we officially support eight then in all of our design and everything that we do and the technical side of things everything we do must then maintain that so like i i i'm yeah so like i think when we go with four then that's just kind of the line that we drew so that when it comes to balancing when it comes to technical stuff we know what we're aiming for yes

fixmas is my favorite time of the year there's been discussions about more events like this and so would be more likely post launch we have talked about other events um we said last year that we were going to look into more events look how well that went uh we will always have fixmes at least i don't think like i think the problem mainly is that we we're quite ambitious uh the people that work at coffee stain are really ambitious we always want to do a lot of things but it always ends up that i think a lot of that ambition goes into the major updates that we've made so far and i don't know like we've always wanted to do more events we have support for more events in the like the the seasonal system that we use to like trigger this kind of stuff that is support for many more events uh stuff like that so there's always the possibility for more events and i think it's going to be like if we get around to doing something then we'll do it but right now there's no talk of anything else but i guess that's because we're so still kind of wrapping up fixmas because we haven't finished fixmas even so it's not impossible but you never know

is satisfactory called factory game in the project code for unreal yes um i heard i've heard yes exactly it is uh correct i've heard that it is quite hard to change it and a lot of tools i use show the true name of application called color factor game yeah so we called it factory game and you're right it is hard to change which is why we haven't changed it i don't know if or when we ever will um the longer we we go into this the harder it gets changing the name um but like this is a this is a somewhat common problem for unreal engine games specifically i know that like arc is still called shooter game which is like the name of the template project in unreal engine when you like when you boot up unreal engine you can pick like if you want like a clean template like if you want a clean project with nothing in it or if you want like a template project with like some base functionality in it and uh one of them is called shooter game which is like a first person shooter like it's it's it's unreal tournaments like in a small like yeah segmented like thing yeah i think i think i don't talk was sangdom called furious i can't remember now that you mention it that because i know i know that it was called like i know that the the the code classes and stuff were sg yeah and i don't know if it was sanctum game or shooter game that's a good question and i get the feeling that when they started making the project they probably didn't know the game was called sanctum that's my assumption stargate you're right it is stargate game very good coffee stain got the license thing for that make a game for it yeah and i'm pretty sure like factory game is also based on that template uh with the first person shooter thing maybe i feel like most first-person games in a real engine usually based on that but i don't know yeah but we call it factory game because we didn't want to call it shooter game because it's confusing and it's not a shooter game yeah it's a factory game it is yeah uh sure glad yeah i'm sure glad we couldn't didn't call it factorio 3d game when we started that project well that would have been weird yeah whoops

will there be any fixes for multiplayer's sync issues life forces trees being cut i'm not sure exactly what multiplayer fixes will be done but we always do work on them and with every major update there's always a whole host of like bug fixes uh from all areas of the game right so uh i don't know exactly if the the bugs that you're experiencing uh or that you're talking about here those specifically have been fixed but there's no doubt in my mind that a lot of bugs will have been fixed um so yeah hopefully hopefully it does take care of the ones that you're running into yeah it has to be a party pooper but i don't think we're going to be able to have time to fix that particular issue um because that's a huge system overall i guess okay but we we we sort of maybe we'll make like a some kind of like half solution or something i don't know but that's a huge uh problem this exists in there for a long time we kind of need to redo the whole like foliage system so that's not something we have time to do for this update he thinks it's but for the record um it's mostly just a visual issue sort of like on the server and everything still works the way it's supposed to so like if you run into that issue um like you can still pick up stuff sometimes if if it's correct unless something is really weird which also can be the case but like for the most part i think a lot of people are used to it by now too like where you just run around like hope to pick up foliage sometimes sometimes you get it sometimes you don't

will trains collide with land or just other trains i think

[Music]

if i had to guess i think trains are going to behave sort of similar to how they did with land before um but they will collide with other trains i uh first i'm guessing um i think the thing we want to get in is collision without the trains and like signaling so that you have you know you need to manage your your training lines in a different way i don't think we care too much about like clipping with the environment like it's a similar thing with like conveyor belts like that if we need to fix the clipping issues with the trails uh the trains in in the terrain with the trains train lines then why aren't we fixing it for the conveyor belts you know so and the conveyor belts are like kind of an active choice that we don't want to like overdo or limit like what you can do with the game so like if clipping annoys you then you won't clip you know you won't build your factory's clipping and if you don't mind clipping um and also you get like a little bit more freedom then clipping is is enabled sort of or available to you um so i think that's sort of the approach that we're going to take with trains as well no i can't say for sure because we haven't reached that point where we've made a decision on that because we need to work on it first but so yeah that's that's i think that's my take on that as right now there will be train signals yes at some point there will be train signals

uh from dev to dev how do the calculations work so that all factories keep running if they're not actively loaded are you calculating every item constantly no it's like the the factories have their own tick like thread uh if i'm not incorrect um yeah they have their own like factory thread that runs at its own speed and stuff so that kind of stuff isn't they're they're not like tied to the map that's loaded so all the stuff that's being built is like built on a different level to the rest of the map yeah like all the logic of all the factory buildings are always running i mean um yeah at the same time and that's how the calculations are done and then sometimes you see their visual representation when you walk closer yep you can check off another mansplaining there actually i think you explained it that more correctly than i did because i i said that that they're actually on a different level but they're not on a different level it's just a different different thread yeah i mean yeah they are like that they are okay i mean they are on a different they're on the like the the the the persistent levels i mean it's that's that is true

uh when do we get a map updating for us so i can actually play the game without having uh without keep having in mind my instructors might disappear and stuff uh well so the reality is you're playing an early access game so you know that's that's probably that's likely gonna happen you know sometime soon when we do do the map update um but that's probably not gonna be the last time we do a map update right so this is kind of like you know uh something you're gonna have to just kind of deal with with the fact that we're in early access however um hopefully the plan is hopefully in the next few weeks uh i will be able to release some information about the world update um and with it i would like to try and just give some sort of like map with some like hotspots of regions that have been modified so that people can sort of uh plan ahead right but the thing is you know the game is designed so that you can build wherever you want so it's it's just likely that there are people out there that have just built in the hot spots of where we've made massive um modifications we've had it before where people have factories that end up being inside a mountain or underground and that's likely just going to happen again but hopefully with with um you know releasing that information when i do um with a map and some hotspots we can mitigate that kind of damage to give people some time to try and move their factories to a different location um but that's that's always going to be a pain like even moving like like what if your factory is in a hot spot right you're gonna have to move the whole thing it's gonna be a pain no matter what but it is it is kind of the nature of early access and we don't want to you know we're striving for a good 1.0 game and we don't want to be like well you know the world would look better if we made it like this but we you know it may scrub some factories so we're not going to do it you know we don't want to do that we do have to put the game first at the end of the day and that doesn't mean some people are going to get kind of screwed over by it to be honest when uh the world does change you know just some safe spots we can move yeah yeah yeah we'll do that sometime soon before like well before the update so that you'll have a lot of time to move things if you want to move things but no doubt they're gonna be no doubt the world is gonna change on top of your factories some of y'all uh a lot of work is gonna be taking place in the northern forest we have talked about that but yeah i i would like to i'll talk to hannah in the future and when we when we do release a video we'll try and release something that um will be as helpful as possible to uh ensure that people can safely move their factories

uh what does the object limit uh refer to exactly one constructor because one object so this is the the confusing thing with the object limit it refers to you object which is not like a physical object or a game object an unreal engine it's an unreal an engine object which is like way programming languages try to like obfuscate how memory works is by referring to massive object you may have heard the term like object oriented languages where they try to like simplify it but how you how you can think of of code um and it's it's essentially a memory object and no one constructor does not equal one object one constructor is could be many objects i don't know the exact number um and they also vary from object to object like maybe you know maybe a beacon is like three objects or maybe two objects or one i don't know exactly and then another constructor could be many objects so uh it's really hard to like to to to to know but something that we sort of tell folks is that like the the number of people that actually hit this object limit is so so few yes like you shouldn't have to worry about it there's unless you're really building some super crazy stuff you really really should not worry about it um and so like you shouldn't have to like don't don't let the object limit impact the way that you play the game unless or do if you want to but you shouldn't need to like you should see a better play as you normally want to yeah and you know we do things on our end to reduce the uh the overhead or the impact that uh objects have on the objective as well yeah so and also the amount of people that hit that object limit that are playing the game vanilla is even smaller uh most people that hit it are using mods to like build way faster and stuff like that and build like humongous things like place i'm thinking i'm talking like placing down like you know half a million foundation blocks and stuff like that um

uh any thoughts about attaching splitters directly to machines such miners i mean i like the idea i don't know why we don't have that uh but yeah i'm not sure so say that again what was it i missed the any thoughts of attaching splitters directly to machine slash miners yes i was actually part of a lot of discussion in that regard in the early days this is the early days because i believe we changed our minds a little bit but one of the main reasons was because it wasn't clear enough what happened uh when you just attached a splitter to a machine it became like odd to like figure out what was going on there's also like a technical reason um where we need the the the belt sort of and if we wanted to do the thing where you can attach splitters to to factories we would need to like add like additional logic to the splitters and mergers and it made it like pretty ugly um so we just decided not to pursue that it's not impossible that we change our minds in the future and and make it so that you can attach them straight on because i believe there's an exception to conveyor lifts because they are technically a belt you can attach splitters directly on them i believe correct me if i'm wrong um but that's not but that's because it is a conveyor belt and it already has because the problem with with the also with this threading in the game is that when we update the threads in the game they're updated separately so belts are upgraded updated separately and then splitters and then factory buildings which would mean that the order of execution would be like a special case when a factory building could output directly to a splitter so we would like mess up that update order or something i'm not quite sure exactly how what was the issue there but that was one of the reasons too but it's not like an impossible thing to fix at some point but i don't think we are going to spend time on that because it's a lot of it's a lot of time for like maybe a little too little payout sort of so yeah you

how many dollars are there total in the world so here's how that system works i don't think if we've hannah has actually explained this to me it's actually no i think there's on the map there's like a bunch of spawn points and on each spawn point we designate like how many can spawn at the same time so like a spawn point can have like something between you know one and five or whatever or any number really but we we've probably not spawned more than like maybe three or four or something like that and once a spawn point has like spawn lizard doggos it won't spawn any new ones until you like get close to that spawn point again so there is a theoretical number of like min max amount of lizard doggos that can exist at the same time because if you like run to a spawn point and grab a little doggo and run back with it that spawn like that spawn point one spawn new ones i believe um so there's a there's the first person to reach the theoretical maximum of lizard doggos in one pen i'll buy you a coffee cup hell yeah on me yeah so so help us find out what that maximum number is and then find the doggers yeah challenge accepted i like it we'll buy you the more coffee mug yeah wait oh okay bye you owe me a pizza juice do i owe you a pizza now do you still love me i don't know i i've lost track like 16 times all right you still have me then i know you or me whatever pretty sure whatever yeah 90 doggos in one pen there's a lot of doggos that's a lot of doggos maybe hannah can figure it out i'm pretty sure she can maybe hannah has better things to do no does she maybe she does i fix the trees am i right i fix the floating rocks nobody cares about that the amount of dog was on the map yeah that's that's what we need to figure out right now it's the drake meme yeah let's spend a week on this

uh can chainsaw use liquid in the future potentially we the reason why chainsaw only uses like solid biofuel up until now is because the that has that has made sense when you unlock or like rather when we intended to unlock the chainsaw and then further down the line it made sense like maybe to have other fuel and we haven't had that in the game because we haven't solved we haven't had support to like change fuels uh for the equipment and that's something that we're probably gonna do in the future i don't know exactly when that will happen um but that's why we haven't had in the game i'm pretty sure we're gonna have it at some point like turbo fuel and chainsaw or you know liquid biofuel which like what else do you use that for um so yeah

any changes of the coloring system yes there's going to be some changes in the color system i don't know exactly what those changes are going to be that's something that is uh most likely going to change or one thing that i am i think is going to change maybe it will check my answer is like declining more and more um i think there's some issues with the coloring system that we've been putting off um such as not being to like paint vehicles and stuff like that so i think there's gonna be somewhat of an overhaul of the coloring system and the fact that we're like using srgb uh or not wait are we using linear rgb in the game or not i can't remember whatever the the color values in game aren't linear i think or they are linear wait which one is the common one hsl yeah yeah but that's not the thing i'm talking about right now because you can even if you if you if you're like in a uh if you're like on the internet you're like look up a color and you see like oh that's a nice color and you try to match it uh in the game it will still not be correct and that's because the in-game color picker is is using srgb which isn't a linear color space but most applications use color like linear color space even if you have the same hex it will not like match uh that's just because we picked one of them so we're probably gonna change that as well because i think a lot of people are confused by that uh i think a lot of people don't even realize it um and yeah we do we do use hl hsl in the color picker but that's not what i'm talking about right now um but that's something we probably will also change at some point this is like ui that probably is is like in the backlog of things uh we just haven't been prioritized well enough so we'll probably happen in alignment with the coloring system

it's part of that is there a road map publicly no there's not and we talked we talked a bunch of times why we don't have that the tl dr is because we we want to be as reflect uh we want to like react as quickly as possible to community feedback uh we change our minds all the time even when we're developing things so we don't want to lock ourselves into a path and be like ah this is bad um this is also kind of why we're not like telling you guys you know everything we're working on because we need to manage expectations a bit in that regard because if we tell you guys like oh we're gonna we're gonna implement a big robot that's gonna blow the whole game up and make your computer become uh alive like and we start working on that and we're like we can't do that then it's going to be a bummer for everyone

so wind power mark when no

[Laughter]

um what is the what is the reasoning why we don't want to add wind wind power or solar power or stuff like that uh i think both of those have the problem where that you can effectively even if you make a system around it that kind of checks for uh certain restrictions that you can just build them everywhere of course they would still effectively be limitless in in this game i think uh and we don't really want that for power like you could just build a giant solar panel field and not have to worry about the power at all which kind of defeats the point of the power system where it's supposed to be a pain in your butt every now and then and you're supposed to want to fix it and make it all run smoothly and i feel that that those kind of power supplies would take away from it because they don't have enough limitations that we can effectively uh contain the balancing off gotcha remember we we also brought up like water turbines yeah i think those will be more in the realm of what the the geysers now do yeah and right now the guys have the issue where some people actually brought this up where they feel kind of what kind of they're super weak for when you get them the amount of power that you get from them uh so we might change it as well but for the yeah water turbines i would be more interested in them because you would have to place them potentially on fast flowing rivers or waterfalls which are a limited resource so to say in the world which is more interesting in my opinion because it kind of gets you around like you can't just pop them down anywhere you actually have to find a waterfall we get up a cliff to get to the waterfall place them there connecting to your factory i think it's a more interesting way to approach power with a bit of a challenge like that than just to give a building that just produces it out of thin air gotcha free power when do we get free power

what's the feature you wanna add to this so i personally really wanna improve the build modes uh i there are there are a lot i think we talked about this last week as well there are a few um there are a few things that really annoy me when you're building and i think there are somewhat easy to fix and they will improve building immensely so i would love to to improve some of those things first and foremost and maybe like a global grid situation but also like how you place you know um mergers and splitters i think that's one of the like places mergers and splitters uh not the fact that they don't clip on foundations when you're dragging them i'm already placed um conveyor belts and stuff like that i think that's really annoying uh stuff like you know the what are they called the the pipe connector thingies i can't remember what they're called that they rotate too i think they rotate too freely i want them to be able to clip snap it a bit better the snapping system we have for the guidelines thing when the green lines show up when you hold control that's a prototype that's not done at all um that's a prototype i made and then we're like alright i just put in the game whatever it works pipe junction thank you uh i want i want better clipping and like snapping with that so if you're if you're one of those people that like builds very methodically it just makes it so much easier to build because i think the addition of the the hover pack makes things so much better in the game i think the hover pack is like one of the best items in the game right now um so improving the the build modes would make the game a ton better imo god i love the hover pack i know it's so good right

um any mods you want to add to vanilla at some stage i'm sure there are mods that i'm sure there are things that we already thought about that there's a mod for currently um and um look guys like we worked in this game for a long time and uh we've had the opportunity to think about this game a lot so drones for instance was something that we've like thought about before we we released this game okay uh and it's been our like backlog since then um and and and obviously when when there's a mod for something that we've like thought about but not like released that's a good sign that like this is probably good feature to implement um so uh so yeah that be like it do lights is another thing lights was actually implemented in the game uh before it was it was out if you remember the stream me and jace did where we played the old version of the game that had lights that version had lights so it's been in the game since then and and at that point lights weren't that good for the game they didn't run that well um and that's why we didn't release the game with lights uh but now we're at the point where we feel confident with our solution for lights there's still i think a little bit tweaking left to do with the lights but we as far as i know i it looks pretty good and they work pretty well um also saw the street lights and the alpha screenshots yeah and i think i think people also data mined like the uh the lights out of the game uh so you know this was coming okay and we knew it was coming and it's it's here now so good times were had by all

object limit any chance to display how much is left somehow uh not really the the common misconception about the object limit is that people think that it's like the number of objects that are placed in the world but this is a memory thing so you know placing a foundation has a smaller object you object imprint in memory than placing a constructor has um and it's not simple to explain it because memory in programming is is very complex uh it's not just like a lot of people often like describe it as like it's a it's an array of of of um ones and zeros that's memory no that's not exactly how it works uh because they're there's like memory caches and and setups for how they're loaded and stuff like that but uh the system that handles all that has a limit in unreal engine and uh there's not much we can do about it uh we can optimize for it but there's always going to be a limit um and you can even load a save file that crashes due to the object limit you can you can sometimes load that save file and sometimes you can based on what's going on in the game at that point um so kind of hard to it's it's hard to explain we're optimizing for it um and maybe in the future it will be a bit better but there's all there'll always be like a limit to it

uh how much uh like what percentage of the update do we know about um what do you reckon i'm thinking like maybe like 70 or something yeah they're still like maybe not because there's like a lot of things i think 70 is a pretty good number though because the stuff that we haven't shown yet isn't like there's some pretty amazing things that we have yeah they're pretty major but they won't like you know i guess i'm like still thinking about pipes because like pipes was a small thing that affected a lot of stuff yeah where these are like you know more things that may affect your save file like or your factories a lot but also maybe not you know what i mean but then they add they add a lot of like yeah they add a lot of stuff but then there's also like a lot of smaller things that are coming that don't work like a video or something you know what i mean yeah there's there's there's like oh i don't know if i i can say it but there's one thing that i discovered when i was uh play test and i was like my god why hasn't this been in the game until now and i'm so happy yeah and it's a very tiny thing but it makes such a huge difference

march 16. we still have questions now you know why does it go to experimental first and basically it's because we want the early access branch to be stable basically that's our stable branch and we do everything we can to make sure that the you know with testing internally to make sure that the game is as stable as possible when we bring it to experimental but we can never really be sure you know there's only like 30 40 of us or something like that and there's a bajillion of you guys and the feedback and the crash reports and all that kind of stuff that we get from you guys in the community um is just on a level that we couldn't get ourselves when testing internally so we put it we always put this stuff out all of our updates out on experimental first we gather as much information and feedback from you guys as possible fix any bugs all that kind of stuff stabilize the game and then once it's stable we bring it over to early access and that's just kind of the procedure that we have you might be wondering then so like okay so when's it gonna be on

soon as we can uh now you might be wondering okay well i'm on early access how do i get on get in on this experimental stuff you know i want i want to fly close to the sun i'm going to live life on the edge right i don't care if it's unstable i want update for the second it drops how do i get experimental i hear you say okay so everyone has access to experimental if you are on the epic version of the game in your epic library you actually will just have two versions of satisfactory there one's experimental one's early access download the experimental one and play if you're on steam and you want access to the experimental version you just find satisfactory in your steam library and you right click on it go to properties select betas there's a drop down box and then choose experimental from the drop down box and that's all it is the game will redownload the experimental version of the game one thing that you should be wary of is your save files whenever changing versions always back up your saves save files from early access to experimental are supported not necessarily the other way around and then also experimental is unstable so you never know what's gonna happen maybe you need to revert but then you can't and you've lost your save files now so back up your saves i'll leave the path to your save files in the description down below back them up before changing branches like that okay uh yeah so

um so are you pack packing the update 4 to an engine upgrade um so yeah um the engine upgrade won't go to early access before update 4 comes to early access so we will keep the engine upgrade on experimental branch as update 4 drops and then we're going to keep working on that until we feel that they both work and the main reason for that is because we there were a few like things that got way better for some people with the engine upgrade but some larger factory lines and stuff like that didn't get better um they got worse um so and that's annoying we don't want to like push the upgrade that can result in some people playing in early access getting a worse experience we would rather fix those issues before we do that and we don't have time to do that before update 4 launches so that's why we're doing it this way
