Update 4 teasers and showcases

Hey everyone!

We've been super hard at work on Update 4 coming to Experimental sometime™ early March this year and there are a lot of new cool features coming!

We've been showcasing and teasing some of the upcoming features on our YouTube channel and if you're curious and want to learn more here's a quick summary of some of the features coming in Update 4!

[h2]Tier 8[/h2]
Tier 8 is coming in Update 4! With it comes a bunch of new parts and machines, but in order for us to make tier 8 as juicy as possible we need to do a few changes as to how tier 7 is balanced. Jace talks about these changes in this video.

[h2]New Parts[/h2]
There's a bunch of cool new parts coming in tier 8 such as packaged sulfuric acid and alumina solutions, Aluminium casing, and the eluded Plutonium Waste - there's also some new parts for project assembly such as Magnetic Field Generator, Thermal Propulsion Rocket, and the Assembly Director System. You can learn more about these parts in this video.

[h2]The Blender[/h2]
One of the changes to tier 7 is the production chain for Nuclear Power. We've haven't revealed fully yet exactly what changes we're going to roll out but we're essentially going to expand the nuclear production lines. One building that plays a big part in this change is The Blender and we teased this building in the following video.

[h2]Gases[/h2]
There's going to be gases coming in Update 4, or specifically Nitrogen gas, and with it comes a set of machines specifically used for extracting gas which are Resource Well Pressurizers and Resource Well Extractors. You can learn more about these in the following video.

[h2]New Traversal Equipment[/h2]
And finally, this week we revealed a new tool used for traversal in the game. I won't say too much about it but you can check out the teaser video for that here. 👀

That's all for now! Stay tuned for more updates in the coming weeks before Update 4 drops and we're looking forward to getting it out there!

Peace!

Engine Upgrade Hotfix 0.3.8.1

Hi Pioneers!

Thank you all for your feedback so far, we have been reading your posts over at our QA site, https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/ We are aware of some of the issues you are having and we are already working on fixing a lot of them.

We also noticed that a lot of you seem to be experiencing crashes when launching the game or when loading a save, we are investigating those issues but, in the meantime, you can verify your game files and try updating or removing all mods, as they might not be currently compatible with our current engine upgrade in the experimental version.

To verify your game files on Steam:

Right click the game > Properties > Verify integrity of game files…

To verify your game on Epic:

Click on “…” next to the game title > Verify

This process might take quite a while depending on your PC and it might re-download a lot of missing files, which might also take a while depending on your Internet connection.

There’s more fixes to come, as always, thank you for playing and for your support
