      Now, you might be wondering, okay, well, I'm on early access.

      How do we get in on this experimental stuff?

      You know, I want to fly close to the sun.

      I want to live life on the edge, right?

      I don't care if it's unstable.

      I want to 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 re-download 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 going to 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 that's it you know when it's coming to experimental you kind of know when maybe it's coming to early access you now know how to get experimental if you didn't already and uh yeah update four come in march 16th we will also do a big stream so we stream every week at twitch.tv coffee stain studios devs and we will do a special stream on march 16th for the release of update 4 if you want to hang out with us at that time so
