Hi Pioneers!

We’ve got another hotfix for the Steam Release going live now on all versions of the game. This one addresses a few crashes some of you are experiencing when trying to play the game, as well as some login issues when starting the game.

We are also adding two start-up arguments that can be set as a launch option manually on Epic or Steam. One of them disables all multiplayer related connections, so no connections between accounts and EOS are attempted while playing singleplayer. The other start-up argument blocks Steam from activating while playing on the Epic Games Store, which allows players that own the game on both platforms to play using EGS only if their accounts are not linked and to run both versions of the game at the same time.

On Steam, you can set launch options by right-clicking on the game in your library and set it under Properties > General > Set Launch Options

On Epic Games Launcher, you can set this under Settings > Manage Games > Additional Command Line Arguments

In addition to this, we’ve added Serbian translations, updated all other translations, fixed some minor bugs, and are now blocking EOS metrics when playing through Steam, which are not necessary since Steam has their own metrics. You can find all the fixes in the notes below.

If you have any further feedback or bugs to report, please let us know on our questions site.

Hi Pioneers!

This is a hotfix for a particular crash on start-up that some of you are experiencing. It seems like a conflict with in-game overlays (such as the Epic Games Store and Steam overlays) can cause this in some cases. The patch should fix that issue for the moment by disabling the EGS overlay for Steam users, while we look at finding a good long-term solution.

To make the current solution take effect immediately, you will have to restart Steam.

Additionally, this patch should also fix the issue that Epic players cannot connect to Steam players via the Session ID.

We’re glad to see so many new people enjoying the game today and are doing our best that those of you who are still having issues can do so too as soon as possible. <3


BUG FIXES

• Temporary fix for a crash on start-up related to in-game launcher overlay conflicts
  
• Players on the Epic Game Store should now be able to join Steam players via Session ID

We're super stoked in welcoming you to drop down on MASSAGE-2(A-B)b in the binary star system of Akycha to create some tasty conveyor belt spaghetti!

We've worked many years getting Satisfactory to where it is today, but the game is still in Early Access so there's still more sweet stuff coming! We hope you'll have a grand ol' time and help us in developing our game with your feedback and support!

Yours truly,
Coffee Stain Studios

Satisfactory is a big and complex game that can be expanded and refined for a very long time and we believe that there is a community of factory builders out in the world that would love to join us to create this beast of a game together. We want to involve players, see how they play and iterate the game based on that. Going Early Access will help us build an awesome factory-building game and help us focus on the right things moving forward.

We hope to work on this game for years to come and make something truly special. We are not entirely sure what would qualify as a 1.0 version of Satisfactory, but the game will be in Early Access for at least 1 year, could be longer.

We’ve reached the point in development where we feel ready to open the game up to the public. There are still a bunch of performance, design and visual issues and the game is far from perfect. Having said that the game is in a state where you can have a lot of fun and enjoy tons of hours of gameplay, single or multiplayer. If you are into building factories and adventure in a vast unexplored world, we think that you are going to like Satisfactory a lot!

• 7 tiers full of milestones that unlocks machines, resources, equipment and vehicles
• 4 different starting areas/biomes on a large handcrafted world (30km2)
• Vehicles with automation capabilities
• Equipment and weapons
• Alien creatures
• Pipes(!!!)
• Multiplayer (still in a bit funky state but it’s Playable and Fun™)

We are planning to at least add the following:

• The rest of the FICSIT milestones and tiers
• More machines, resources, vehicles, equipment, and weapons
• Improvements on core gameplay, systems, UI/UX, Quality of Life
• Iterate on world, exploration, landmarks, rewards, and creatures
• Full narrative
• More optimization
• Dedicated server support
• Mod support

We expect the price to increase once we go 1.0, but we don’t know for sure.

The game has been available on a different platform up until this point and we have somewhat learned how to balance addressing feedback and introducing new content from this time. We will keep on reading the discussions and talking to our community. We use Discord, our own up-vote forum, in-game bug reports, surveys etc. This process is likely something that we will iterate on as well. We have an experimental branch where we want to push in early content for future stable updates for those who want to opt in and help us test it. You can always follow our updates and progress through our different channels; Website, YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, and Discord.

Yo!

The day has come when we can finally tell you when Satisfactory will be available on steam!



Yeah we said Tuesday in the past, but we say a lot of things.

I know it's been frustrating that we haven't been able to announce an official date until now (believe me, It's been frustrating for us as well). But we're here now and we're definitely releasing it Monday, June 8 and we're super stoked about that!

During release we'll also be a running a 10% discount on the game (which is released Monday, June 8)!

Until then (Monday, June 8)! Take care!

Hey gang!

We were really hoping to be able to announce an official release date today, but there are still a few unknowns that makes it so that we can't commit 100% to a date just yet. :( We're really close though!

As mentioned in the video that if we need to delay, it'll be by a week or two. We really want to release as soon as we possibly can which unfortunately means that we have to announce it kind of on short notice once we feel confident that everything will fall into place.

We'll give you an update as soon as we have one! Stay awesome and have a nice weekend!

Snutt

Hey everybody!

You've all been very patient waiting for the steam release and I'm gonna give ya a quick update on things and stuff!

We've said for quite some time that our intention has been to release the game on steam sometime late May. And that is still our goal.

We're currently in the last phase of testing the steam version to make sure that online sessions work both between steam friends, and cross-play.

At the end of this week we'll be able to give you a more definite answer as to when you can expect Satisfactory to be available on steam.

It really is coming down to the wire so please bear with us as we figure out the last few things before we can officially say when we know for sure it's coming out! :)

Until then, stay safe, and take care!

Snutt

Sup!

Remember that AMA video we talked about earlier this week where we asked you to hit us up with your questions? Well, we made that video. It's this one 👇



Jace answers everything from what 1.0 will look like, what's up with mod support, will we support steam workshop, will there be green energy, and other questions. I didn't really watch the rest of the video so I don't know what's in there but maybe you'll find it interesting or something!

Have a good weekend y'all!
