if I remember correctly the writers had to rework the 1.0 story a while ago do they like it much more now so, yes and like sort of sort of rewrite, the story for satis Factory have gone like up and down we've had different iterations of it we've had different directions that we want to go with it, and I think we had more Grand Ambitions to to what to do with the story originally when we made satisfactory but I think as the game sort of developed and as we went along and like you know depending on like how much time we actually have to spend cuz Hannah is the lead narrative sort of designer I think or whatever you want to call that, like first and foremost Hannah is like lead level designer so that's like her first, calling if you will so it's possible that that like we just found out that like we need to do more on the level and then like that sort of meant that the narrative got push aside a little bit but I think we also like realized that we wanted to take the narrative in a different direction based on what we can Implement and that stuff and also based on like feedback from people playing the game where like I think the majority of people you know really enjoy the factory building aspect of the game and like you know having a narrative that would take over or like be the main you know focus of the game or have like a campaign or anything like that, wouldn't really fit our game so I think that's also something we sort of like that was more cemented as we went on, so so we we sort of reworked the The Narrative to fit that little bit so like the narrative is still, I wouldn't say the narrative is optional because you do need to sort of if you want to finish the game you do need to progress a little bit through the narrative but it doesn't take up like a huge like it doesn't take up the stage so to speak when it comes to playing the game the the main part of the game is still building factories and and progressing through the the tiers and whatnot, but, yeah we have Rewritten reworked the story a little bit and and both on how we deliver the story and also like how what the story is and, I'm not quite sure what the current state of it is but, I think we're pretty happy with it right now and we sort of have, like most of the like most of the narrative work is is sort of happening right now we're in full on production for that so yes
