Why do you think this is an unpopular opinion? I allready got alot of gaming hours Out of the Games content, and they will actually still add more content (maybe even lore) to delve in into the 1.0 Update. At this Point fairly priced dlcs are absolutely legit in my Humble opinion
I don't have any issue with DLC in principle, as long as the base game feels complete, it's priced appropriately, and isn't just microtransactions purchased outside the game.
Bro just take my money and get that DLC rolling. You guys deserve it. Thank you for all of your hard work for us to continue to be SATISFIED with our needs and to keep enjoying a beautiful game in this tough world.
I'm new to the Satisfactory community and I love these little update videos. It's refreshing seeing a CM who is involved in the production and knows what's going and is also just 'one of us' so to speak. The added freedom of being able to do that outro without corporate marketing crying about being consumer unfriendly is great too. It adds a level of humanity to it all. Looking forward to 1.0 :)
After the KSP 2 debacle and Helldivers 2 controversy its nice to come back to a good dev that actually communicates with their player base and cares about finishing their product
Satisfactory is pretty much my poster child for how to do early access and dealing with community. KSP 2, gosh don't remind me, that was just sad to see. Not sure what you mean about Helldivers 2 though, I tried googling "Helldivers 2 controversy" but I could find anything. Can you elaborate or point me in the right direction?
@@Ahzealion Which is hilarious because when you first logged in, you were informed that a PSN account is mandatory. That notice has existed since day 1. Not sure if everyone just forgot, or clicked past that dialog and didn't read. I was surprised on release day when it said I needed a PSN account, but it let me play anyway. If the last 3-5 years has taught me anything about the community I used to love, it's that a significant portion of gamers have some serious issues. These games don't need mandatory PSN accounts to play, they need mandatory therapy sessions. Maybe then these people will grow up and won't freak out over the tiniest thing.
Back when I played Factorio, I started to refer to the process of removing trees with a vehicle "bumperjacking." It was faster than chopping but you didn't get the wood to use for crafting or fuel. In Satisfactory, I nearly never do that intentionally because it was my understanding every removed bush goes in the save file, so that's just another millisecond you have to sit there during the autosave for the rest of the playthrough, and I avoided driving through dense areas of foliage specifically. Especially disappointing was when the car spun out and crashed off the "road" into stuff I didn't intend to mow.
@@SineN0mine3 Funny enough though, "imperial" in computing is actually the powers-of-ten version (meGAbytes, kiLObits), while "metric" in computing is powers-of-two or -of-1024 (meBIbytes, kiBIbytes)...
Had a save with 50k foundations in total, but 30k of them was in one 50x50 tower. Lag was very substantial. Really hope that lightweight system unloads stuff like that.
I absolutely love that you put voice to these words in an actual video you put out to your consumers. It's so understandable and, quite honestly, reassuring to hear how much work and improvements you're continuing to add to this game after all this time. Thank you! (Edit was grammar checks)
I never said it publicly but I always hated the way foliage was destroyed by vehicles. This is a great change and as a bonus you get a better performance. Win-Win in my book.
All excellent updates, I'm eager to see how well 1.0 performs! Also I see Snutt is treating us like a bunch of puppies - first he sees if we can go 10 minutes without the beanie and then brings it back, presumably next dev stream he'll take it off for an hour, then two hours, etc.
Cheers, and thank you. I don't watch many developer posts but consistently through the years this has always been condensed, thorough, and even if I know nothing what you're talking about I am leaving feeling more informed. You guys didn't have to do this and I can't wait for your team to take us to 1.0. It's a journey and has a player I've enjoyed knowing what my chefs have been cooking up. Sad to know it's near the release but also happy you all are very content on the product your built. I dunno, it's felt personal to some degree and I'm happy with the many purchases I've done for my friends to experience it. Thank you.
Really excited about new patches post release and also DLC. I wouldn't mind tossing a bit more money at the wonderful team that made such an amazing game.
Take it from someone who played from day 1 public release, satisfactory has come a long way optimization wise. Also trucks getting stuck on random small objects has been the bane of my existence with this game, just not colliding with them at all makes it so much better.
Can't help but love all the effort towards making talking about optimization fun. It is a bland topic, but with how many badly optimized games get released anymore we are thrilled just knowing you care about it.
My last megafactory had a sort of twilight zone in the center that would freeze the game if I got too close, since (I'm guessing) there was just too much to simulate within too small a space. These optimization updates make me hopeful that with 1.0 I'll be able to make an even MORE punishing megafactory! Thanks, Coffee Stain, for making it so I didn't have to learn any lessons at all! 👍👍
This video... community managers everywhere should be made to watch this video. Excellent mix of the technical and non-technical, with some real insight into the work currently going on and its place in the dev cycle. Snutt, if this is the calibre of video you turn out without the beanie I would suggest the beanie needs to go, buddy... Perfect job, no notes. This is also all fantastic news. Save-times, reduced, check. Load-times reduced, double check! Foundations and walls becoming light-weight, check check CHECK. Insight into the decisions around destructible foliage, check check CHECCCKKK. I could go on, there is so much right about this video. Thumbs up, perfect job, way to go Snutt.
You guys are doing awesome work! I'm sure that 1.0 will be great. I am also very thankful for you to share all these Dev-Upgrades with us. That helps me to understand the process of creating a game.
Nope, that's not what I was thinking. What I was thinking is "Now you're on a version of Unreal with good support for Apple Silicon, when are we going to get a native MacOS build?". Finally being able to not use Crossover is a pretty major optimisation too!
Satisfactory is an amazing game, keep up the great work. You guys are setting an amazing example for how game studios should operate. I can't wait for 1.0 release and have been recommending the game to all my friends.
Hey Snutt, great video. I'd love to see a longer form video or talk on the lightweight actors system you guys developed, that sounds really interesting!
Can’t wait for 1.0 to start all over again. Hearing that they’re on to this level of optimisation makes me very excited that release may not be too far off. Fantastic communication with the community as always.
These guys are fantastic. I'm happy to see that a dev is actually talking to their players and keeping them posted. Actually addressing the community's input. Plus I just love Satisfactory and cannot wait until 1.0 to start fresh with the crew.
"Thx for signing up to closed beta, we will notify you when it starts, even if you not in" ... and now i hear "1000 people been playing for a week now ... " 🤨 ... *Meaning of life terminated*
Been playing since U3, and optimization has already improved so, SO much since then. It's crazy to know more far-reaching optimizations are coming. Looking forward to 1.0!
I've been super impressed with your optimization so far. When compared to some other UE5 games (I'm looking at you Ark Survival Ascended), Satisfactory runs soooo well even with Lumen on.
Oh damn! That was Snut the whole time!! Don't forget, Golf ball tracking on the HUD and the factory cart needs a place to hold my clubs. Can we get a superdy-dooper Nuke to blow up the glowing orb trees in the swamp?
4:48 Why not offer this feature as an option in gameplay or performance settings? This leaves the choice to the player and allows him to activate it only when he needs to clear an area.
Related to optimization: I noticed that DX11 is being marked as deprecated in the most recent update. However, it seems that DX11 performs *significantly* better than DX12 on my GTX 1060, which is kinda older hardware. I get like 10-15 fps on DX12 on the same settings that I get close to 60 fps on DX11. I hope that you don't drop support for DX11 in the future.
I'm so incredibly hyped for 1.0 !!! Been waiting to start my first mega factory but I can't get myself to do it in U8 considering how close 1.0 is. Well done CSS. Snutt, love what you're doing!
Thank you so much for the constant updates on the working status of 1.0. Normally studios go dark after announcing 1.0 and then go tight lipped about the status so they aren't held accountable for a time line.
Quite ready and excited about v1, used to pick up sum flowers on strolls looking for slugs, but after finally choosing to automate ammo production some old habits may change after watching they will be gone :) Offroading about in biomes and hitting often to a stop can be disappointing. Great work !
Really the only time I find the game to be laggy or buggy is in multiplayer. I would hope that there are some improvments coming there. Great video Snutt, can wait for more!
Hell yeah! so excited for 1.0! Pretty much stopped playing as my big save was grinding to a halt with the factories at about 97% complete, framerate dipping below 20 and waiting a few minutes for each auto save was killing the enjoyment. I use manifolds for everything, so chunking up belt mechanics and pushing more compute to GPU should see a great improvement. Not to mention the massive frame drops while hyperlooping across the map will be great when they are reduced.
I love the depth you guys go into. Very few dev teams say so much about the inner workings. It probably helps dispel conspiracies about how the game works.

Sounds great. Appreciate the communication
4:48 Why not offer this feature as an option in gameplay or performance settings? This leaves the choice to the player and allows him to activate it only when he needs to clear an area.
Related to optimization: I noticed that DX11 is being marked as deprecated in the most recent update. However, it seems that DX11 performs *significantly* better than DX12 on my GTX 1060, which is kinda older hardware. I get like 10-15 fps on DX12 on the same settings that I get close to 60 fps on DX11. I hope that you don't drop support for DX11 in the future.
I'm so incredibly hyped for 1.0 !!! Been waiting to start my first mega factory but I can't get myself to do it in U8 considering how close 1.0 is. Well done CSS. Snutt, love what you're doing!
Gotta get that release date out - I need to know when to put in my 2 weeks notice!!
Thank you so much for the constant updates on the working status of 1.0. Normally studios go dark after announcing 1.0 and then go tight lipped about the status so they aren't held accountable for a time line.
That thumbnail is a BMW cluster and i love it.
As a smol indie developer this information is insanely valuable! Thanks for sharing Snutt
Quite ready and excited about v1, used to pick up sum flowers on strolls looking for slugs, but after finally choosing to automate ammo production some old habits may change after watching they will be gone :) Offroading about in biomes and hitting often to a stop can be disappointing. Great work !
The thumbnail is an e46 320D facelift lmao
My car i love it 😂
(I dont even play the game i just came for the thumbnail)
Really the only time I find the game to be laggy or buggy is in multiplayer. I would hope that there are some improvments coming there. Great video Snutt, can wait for more!
Thanks, Jace. Helps a lot.
Hell yeah! so excited for 1.0! Pretty much stopped playing as my big save was grinding to a halt with the factories at about 97% complete, framerate dipping below 20 and waiting a few minutes for each auto save was killing the enjoyment. I use manifolds for everything, so chunking up belt mechanics and pushing more compute to GPU should see a great improvement. Not to mention the massive frame drops while hyperlooping across the map will be great when they are reduced.
I love the depth you guys go into. Very few dev teams say so much about the inner workings.
It probably helps dispel conspiracies about how the game works.
These sound like significant optimizations that will really help a lot. Thanks Jace!
So that's HUGE! All my complex pretty manifolds are gonna be so smooth!
