Satisfactory News

Hi Pioneers!

Today’s patch has a decent mix of stuff, we’re mainly addressing a crash for clients related to the wire hologram which appeared after we introduced the ability to Upgrade Power Lines into the FICSMAS Power Lights variant and vice versa, it should now be fixed™.

We also now have a FPS caps options so your GPU no longer tries to take off in main menu and the FOV going much lower alongside the options we previously introduced should help ultrawide monitor users get much more comfortable configs.

As always, if you’re experiencing some issues with the latest updates please let us know over at https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/ so we can fix them as soon as we can.

We’re glad you’re enjoying the game and we thank you all for playing
Merry FICS*MAS!

Hi Pioneers!

This December Holiday Content and Event were brought to you by the FICSIT Inc. internal marketing department.

The in-game Event is available in both Early Access & Experimental versions of the game until Jan 18th, 2021!

Any resemblance to external holidays, celebrations, events, traditions, historical or contemporary, and their products, is purely coincidental.

[h2]Patch Notes[/h2]
[h3]Patch Notes: Early Access - v0.3.7.0 – Build 138299[/h3]
The Conveyor Belt networking rework is now live on Early Access. But, as you probably have already noticed, that is not the only thing changing today. We added some seasonal event content for you to explore December through January!

While we could not push a big update before the end of this year, we still wanted to give you something new over the holidays. So, we spent a little bit of time on this FICSIT themed event. What exactly we have changed and added you will have to find for yourself over the course of December, but we really hope you all will enjoy it! And if you don’t, you can simply turn the event off in the gameplay options from the main menu.

There is some additional stuff in this patch as well that we added previously on Experimental, such as translation updates, some bug fixes and some optimizations. You can find all the details in the patch notes below.

Hope you all are having a great time and will enjoy the event Merry FICS*MAS!
