We also wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who took part in the recent PTE sessions and provided feedback ahead of release, we appreciate the time you take to share your experiences.

December Patch Notes

Additions

Traits! Each of the seven main playable characters now have two traits, which grant the character with a powerful passive effect, which can be selected in place of one of the current six abilities before battle, giving an even larger array of options to pick and mix from.

Thief, Pirate and Mercenary, the three unlockable characters in Adventure Mode, now feature a full range of eight abilities and traits to select from and each now have an innate trait.
AI controlled Thieves, Pirates and Mercenaries in other modes also have access to the new innate traits and some of these new abilities so be on the look out!

Adventure Stat Points! A whole new Stat Point system has been added into your Adventures, allowing you to upgrade the Health, Movement, Speed and Accuracy of each of your party members using points earned from battling. Each party member also comes with their own stat-affecting Attitude which is revealed upon their recruitment to your team.

Grand Effects! Now that you've invested your hard earned Stat Points into a character, you can boost them even further by selecting from one of three available Grand Effects, which gains the character with an additional passive bonus in battle. With over 20 Grand Effects available between the ten playable classes the passive possibilities just keep growing.

Adventure Battle Changes! Gone are the old randomly selected battle boards, with each of the 30 possible battle locations instead now having their own unique board to battle upon.

New items! Six new items are now available in Adventure Taverns, providing players with new ways to deal damage and heal allies in battle and instantly earn Stat Points early.
Players with existing Adventure runs will be able to find these new items in taverns in their next Adventure run.

Fast Mode! A new Fast Mode toggle is available in the Options menu, which when enabled will double the speed of all movement and action animations in offline battles.

Story Battle Changes! We've listened to your feedback and gone are the endless waves of Thieves, Pirates and Swords. All 24 Story battles have been reviewed and the vast majority updated with different enemies and/or different rules around how many characters you can select and which characters can be selected.

Fixes

Fix for background music disappearing for the client after a second battle in an Online Custom Game session was started.
Fix for the auto-save start-up text going off screen in some resolutions in some languages.
Fix for gamepad/keyboard directional input sometimes being incorrect after rotating the board.

Comrades!

Thank you for participating in our Pre-release PlayTest! You gave us a lot of valuable comments, most of which have already been implemented in the project!

We mainly addressed the following issues:

• Easier shootouts
  Significantly improved weapon accuracy and marker visibility when hitting or killing an enemy. We speeded up reloads, increased the player's health and regeneration, improved the effectiveness of police units.
  
  
• Longer time of day
  We've increased the time of the day from 25 to 35 minutes (real time) - this allows you to safely perform inspections and explore the world.
  
  
• Detailed Inspection summary
  From now on, you can get detailed information about the places where contraband was hidden (e.g. tires, headliner, glove box)
  
  
• More tutorials
  Added more explanations for basic mechanics (e.g. garage, computer, phone, trade etc)
  
  
• Item balance
  Lower tool prices and improved durability
  
  
• Easier comparison of declared cargo
  We have added the ability to show notes from the cargo notebook in the duty folder. You no longer have to hide the entire folder to check your notes.
  
  
• More interesting driving around the world
  To diversify your journeys between locations - from now on you can encounter hostile Oberankov gang units that make it difficult to transport prisoners or contraband!

Once again, thank you very much for all your comments! Get ready for the Contraband Police premiere in January!

Best regards,
The CrazyRocks Team

Update 7 is now available on Early Access, so in here we are again going over all the content of the Update in detail for those of you who haven’t followed the Experimental releases. The most fun and convenient way to get all the highlights is our patch notes video that you can watch here:



For those of you trying out the new content for the first time, and those of you that might have ongoing issues from the Experimental release, you can let us know about your thoughts on our Questions Site as usual: https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/

Blueprints are the biggest addition to the game coming with Update 7, but keep in mind we are not entirely done with them yet. For Update 7 this is what we can share with you, and we are looking forward to your feedback and what you make with them in Early Access before we finalise the feature in a later Update down the line.

Hope all of you have a fantastic time with the new content and a wonderful FICSMAS <3



In this brand-new building you will be able to design, adjust, and save Blueprints for use in your factory. Anything that fits inside the confines of the Designer (4 by 4 Foundations and 8 Walls in height) you will be able to build with a single click as a Blueprint.

Any Blueprint you save in the designer is added to the Blueprints Build Menu Tab, which you can organise as you see fit. From there you can select it like any other building or add it to your Hotbar. Blueprints have some unique build modes of their own, one focused on detailed control and the other on snapping with other Blueprints.

These are the two new modes we added for Creature hostility which allow you to adjust how to interact with the combat aspect of Satisfactory. If you do want to fight, but want more control over the when and how, the Retaliating mode is for you. Creatures will only attack you if you attack them first, and this works per single creature. So, if you want to fight a group of Hogs or other creatures one after the other, you can do that now.

Passive mode is exactly what it says: All creatures will remain passive, no matter if you attack them or not. If you want to enjoy Satisfactory without the action aspects, Passive mode gets the job done.

You can set your preferred Creature hostility in the Escape Menu under ‘Advanced Gameplay Settings’.

This is mostly what we have in mind for allowing you to customise your experience with Creatures. In the future we are planning to implement more game modes that allow you to adjust how you play Satisfactory. But that is for after Update 7.

We’ve talked a bunch about Overclocking before and we are finally making some changes to it. If you don’t know, the Overclocking mechanic allows you to make buildings produce parts faster at an exponential power cost or produce slower while consuming exponentially less power.
The basic mechanic of Overclocking remains largely unchanged, but we’ve lowered the exponential power cost change. This means that Overclocking is less expensive than it was before, and Underclocking is not quite as cheap.
Generators are the only exception to this rule: They Over- and Underclock completely linear.

And of course, there is some more. Conveyor Ceiling Mounts are new, with the addition of contextual switching between relevant buildables when aiming at a wall, ceiling, or floor. This works for both Conveyor and Pipe attachments. The Zipline has a sprinting mode that allows you to go dangerously fast at your own risk and you can now name your favourite Lizard Doggos to let all the other ones know where they stand. Of course, we also fixed some bugs and worked on system changes and improvements under the hood.

KNOWN ISSUES

1. A reminder for people who have been having issues with unexpected crashes on start-up or weird behaviour with the game, in that case please try to verify your game files.

You can do this on Steam by Right Clicking the game in your Library > Properties > Local Files > Verify integrity of game files...

This may or may not redownload a large number of files which might take a while depending on your internet connection or hard drive speeds so be wary of that.

2. If you are using mods, they might need to be updated or uninstalled after updating so please keep this in mind too.

3. If you are experiencing issues launching the game or loading a save and you have already verified your files, you might have some incompatibility with DX12 as the default renderer, you can try the following launch options to try to force DX11, DX12 or Vulkan to run respectively.

• -d3d11
  
• -DX11
  
• -d3d12
  
• -DX12
  
• -vulkan
