      There's a lot of questions, it's the biggest one we've done, so let's just get on with it now and we'll jump into the questions.

      How likely will it be that our saves will break in updates after Update 4?

      Yeah, so a couple weeks ago I mentioned in a video that Tier 8 is coming, and it will also kind of break your saves in Update 4.

      So your saves will load, but your factory will probably not be working anymore.

      You may have to repair it, I suppose, so you could say.

      That was not necessarily intended, but...

      Given the direction of the game, given the feedback we got, we had to change the way that we looked at Tier 8, and so we had to make some more drastic changes.

      The intention now is that we want to avoid that, of course, and there's actually no plan right now to do any other major rebalancing after Update 4 into 1.0, so the current plan is no, there won't be breaks, but the reality is there's a really big chance that we will start observing

      some, you know, some feedback from the game and we will make decisions that, you know, well, you know what, we may need X, Y, Z for the game to be good and maybe that will result in the saves breaking.

      It is likely that this will happen again, but we don't want it to and we don't plan on it, but you never know.

      Are tiers 8 to 10 anywhere near accurate on the satisfactory wiki?
