Update 4 news + Fan Forge Challenge

Hey everyone!

Just wanted to give a quick update on the happenings right now!

[h2]When's Update 4?[/h2]

We're currently hard at work getting all that new sweet content into the next coming Updates. There are still a lot of things we want to fix and implement before the game reaches 1.0 so you can expect more updates to the game before then.

We're expecting the next coming update to be available sometime early 2021. However, between then and now we're going to be rolling out a few patches and a minor update to the game expected in early November.

This minor update will contain:
  • General bug fixes
  • Optimization
  • Quality of Life features/fixes
  • An Update to Fluids

We'll be revealing more information as to what's coming when as we get closer to the completion of these updates!

[h2]What's the situation with Dedicated Servers?[/h2]

We've been working on dedicated server for ages it feels like, and while the steam release took a lot of focus away from dedicated servers, some work that went into cross-play and the steam release also benefited dedicated servers.

We've decided to put more of a priority on dedicated servers but we don't have a good ETA for them yet. Dedicated servers will be its own thing and will be released independently from Update 4 so as soon as we're ready, we're going to the possibility to host dedicated servers available.

[h2]Fan Forge[/h2]



Last week we finally launched our first lineup of Merch over at For Fans By Fans! We're super stoked to finally have merch available and with that we're now also kicking off something over at ForFansByFans called Fan Forge!



Fan Forge is an open gallery for artists to submit their fan art and ideas of merch for Satisfactory! There, your designs will be shared and rated by the community for the chance to become real officially licensed products! ALL selected artwork will earn a commission per item sold on For Fans By Fans website, through wholesale, and at conventions.

With this we'll be having a launch challenge with some prizes and goodies! You can read more about it on our Fan Forge page!


If you wanna learn more about the above topics you can check out this video we just released on our lil YouTube channel.

Please note that For Fans By Fans is US based and while they do ship internationally they have favorable shipping in the states. We're also looking into alternatives for non-US shipping.


Now that we're back from vacation we're also chugging along working on Update 4! We're currently in sort of the pre-production phase of this update so it's hard to say when we expect to have it ready but we'll let you know more as things progress!


Until then stay excellent!

Patch Notes: Early Access - v0.3.5.4 - Build 125236

Hi Pioneers!

We’ve got another tiny patch coming out, this one largely addresses translations. For all of you new to Satisfactory, the translations are a work in progress which means changes are incremental and improvements are being released regularly.

Hope you all are having a wonderful time and are enjoying the game

LOCALISATION
  • Updated all languages with the latest translations


BUG FIXES
  • Small stability fix for an edge case related to Steam presence
  • Fixed a bug where old translations were displayed instead of the latest version

Patch Notes: Early Access - v0.3.5.3 - Build 124884

Hi Pioneers!

We’ve got a tiny patch coming out today to address a crash bug and Truck Stations fuel inventory breaking when a client interacts with the building. Additionally, all languages have gotten the latest translation updates.

Cheers
LOCALISATION
  • Updated all languages


BUG FIXES
  • Fixed a crash that could occur when the Steam login status got refreshed
  • “Received” is now spelled correctly in the Hub
  • Fuel inventory in Truck Stations no longer breaks after a client player interacts with the building

Patch Notes: Early Access - v0.3.5.2 - Build 124504

Hi Pioneers!

We’ve got another hotfix for the Steam Release going live now on all versions of the game. This one addresses a few crashes some of you are experiencing when trying to play the game, as well as some login issues when starting the game.

We are also adding two start-up arguments that can be set as a launch option manually on Epic or Steam. One of them disables all multiplayer related connections, so no connections between accounts and EOS are attempted while playing singleplayer. The other start-up argument blocks Steam from activating while playing on the Epic Games Store, which allows players that own the game on both platforms to play using EGS only if their accounts are not linked and to run both versions of the game at the same time.

On Steam, you can set launch options by right-clicking on the game in your library and set it under Properties > General > Set Launch Options

On Epic Games Launcher, you can set this under Settings > Manage Games > Additional Command Line Arguments

In addition to this, we’ve added Serbian translations, updated all other translations, fixed some minor bugs, and are now blocking EOS metrics when playing through Steam, which are not necessary since Steam has their own metrics. You can find all the fixes in the notes below.

If you have any further feedback or bugs to report, please let us know on our questions site.
