      So yeah, once the game is out, do tell us on the QA side if we should prioritize this next.

      And on the topic of that, I also want to mention roads, because this is also something a lot of people ask about specifically.

      And it's sort of the same thing there.

      People are able to build roads in Satisfactory already with the build pieces that exists.

      It's a finicky, it's annoying, but it's technically possible.

      We did prototype, actually, a sort of system early on where you could build roads using splines, similar to how train tracks work, but it wasn't great, if I'm gonna be honest.

      It was really hard to make it look good.

      It didn't really jive that well with the current build mechanics that we had, so we decided to get rid of it.

      There are also some optimization issues that come with all this stuff.

      So, again, instead of tackling that problem, we instead opted to develop other features for the game that we sort of felt were missing instead of supporting this stuff better.

      I'm just, okay, so I'm just a messenger here, so, like, don't shoot the message, okay?

      But just saying.
