September 10, 2024 marks the date that Satisfactory is fully releasing. This update will bring many new features, and most importantly optimizations to make the game smoother all around. Say goodbye to many of the common crashes and bugs that you discovered in early access. Here's what to expect.
With the 1.0 release, Satisfactory plans to introduce all new story content. The game previously had almost no story driven content, however now will feature a more narrative driven gameplay experience. If you're into games with a story, you'll now be able to enjoy the story to Satisfactory. This gives players a goal to work towards, instead of creating a factory just for the fun of it. The story is optional.
While Satisfactory already has a beautiful world with different biomes and places to explore, the update will introduce changes to the existing Red Bamboo Fields, Red Jungle, Swamp, Abyss Cliffs, Titan Forest, and Desert Canyons. Paradise Island is scheduled to be removed from the game entirely. These changes seek to improve foliage and water in the various biomes.
With this update, recipes should have much smoother progression and never require an excess amount of grinding to get to the next tier. This will make the game a bit easier to get into, along side the story element. This update will also bring the converter building, which allows you to feed in ores, and change the ores into other ores. The Quantum Encoder is also being introduced, which will introduce new recipes for endgame items.
When you access your crafting menu, you'll notice that there is a new Tier 9, the final technology tier. This will significantly improve the endgame of Satisfactory, and allow you to do much more with your factory with all of the new recipes. The Space Elevator is also getting a new Tier 5, belts and elevators are now getting mach 6 speeds, 1,200 resources/minute.
The Hard Drive Library is a new menu that will be introduced. Here, players will be able to begin researching more drives and select them for research. You will no longer need to select a reward to research new drives. Each drive will also include a reroll, which will let players choose a reward between two different options.
1. Game optimizations and stability fixes.
2. Many new items and recipes.
3. UI and Model changes.
4. Research Tree changes.
5. Generators will create more power.
6. Much, much more…
