Satisfactory News

Hi Pioneers!

Hello again everyone, In case you missed the announcement video, 1.1 is soon leaving experimental so everyone will be able to try out the new content on the 10th of June

In the meantime, here’s another patch as we get ready to prepare for the official release

If it’s your first time trying out the 1.1 Experimental, remember to BACKUP YOUR SAVE before you try it as there might be unexpected issues

If there’s some major issues you’re having that you think we should definitely address before release, please let us know over at our QA Site https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/ We read your posts every day

And remember, If the Experimental release turns out to be too unstable for you, you can always switch back to the default version of the game and restore your save game and continue enjoying Satisfactory as usual

See you all again soon

And remember, If the Experimental release turns out to be too unstable for you, you can always switch back to the default version of the game and restore your save game and continue enjoying Satisfactory as usual
