The lizard doggo's eradicate the crabs, however their population was crippled. The painting goes on, but becomes noticeably less legible with each part of the story. The final thing you're able to decipher is their civilization collapse post-war. After that, it's mostly scribbles, though, you can deduce that the collapse eventually led to their devolution. Resulting in their present-day adorably goofy state.

Terraria in a nutshell

Thanks for letting us know, I appreciate the update!

Years since I started playing, I still appreciate that you change the game towards what you think people will like most. Every single point I kinda expected more than a year ago. Mods work as-is; don't change what don't need changing. Circular foundations in a rectilinear world aren't worth the overhaul. Roads...tbh, I'm surprised trucks weren't ditched with the beacons that no one used. I paused playing shortly after color came in. It definitely was more annoying than fun. And recipe rebalancing; expected for 1.0 I think my largest wish for 1.0 is honestly just a small parts-grab container for manually grabbing parts. The last hub I built had to be massive, simply due to having 50-something storage containers. I had it all working great; one bin to drop stuff off on my way in to auto-sort, tubes to other mini-hubs, but it was always a needless chore to run around a massive warehouse sized hub, cuz that's the space it took to fit all the containers in. The crab, I'm still interested in. 100% I can see why you guys will not make it a core part of the game, but the world feels like it needs at least one behemoth to finish it off. Even if it's not in time for 1.0, i think you should at least reserve a space for it.

No circular foundation pieces is a real bummer. The biggest headache in the game is trying to make curved roads and buildings. It takes a lot of time to do and the end product is always in the realm of "looks great from a distance" or "ignore the seizure inducing z-fighting on the ground". I know there is ways to mitigate that stuff but it still takes a lot of time cause at the end of the day you are trying to make a grid based building system behave in a way it is not designed for.

@reznovvazileski3193

2 ай бұрын

Yea I mean it's not ideal. But on the other hand the curves people want to build are not always neat so they'll have to give free reign on angles and arclength for this to even help most of the people that want curves. That'd require them to make an entire blockset that functions like rails and is compatible with each other because the other blocksets already in the game definitely won't be compatible unless it's to link the start and finish of some curve into them. That's a metric crapload of work to be done there not to mention finding and fixing the new bugs it'll definitely introduce :p Not a great project to start right before release.

Ok, only two that I'm really disappointed that aren't going to be in on release are roads and official mod support. Hopefully those two are still in the plans for a post release update. Logic would be fun though, but I can understand how that would be a complex thing to get right in a way that feels fun and easy to use, without making the base game overly complicated. Again, some simple logic systems maybe in an update or DLC would be a good idea for after release, but I feel official mod support is something that needs to be added at least post launch. Mod support and an active modding community really boosts the longevity of a game too much for it to be ignored.

I personally liked the in game beacon mechanic. It made it stand out from other mini maps. Physically needing to place an item in the world to mark it on the map was pretty cool. But it makes sense, the ability to place pins from the map makes it redundant.

The lack of giant crabs was done okay with the possibility to automatic feed the tier 1 powerplants :D

I don't need circular foundation building. But I would really, REALLY like right angle triangular foundations. I feel like it would add so much opportunity in design to the stock build, without clipping or z-fighting. Its literally been the the first thing I check for each update since 3 or 4. Edit: I like the teaser at the end. I'm not worried. The game will continue to be amazing, cant wait for 1.0

I use inverted corner ramps for the triangle, I just wish there was a diagonal railing to go on it.

Thank you for the updates. Thank you for satisfactory and all the work.

We appreciate the honesty and up-front attitude! Thank you so much for breaking away from the general unwillingness to cooperate or coordinate with players that developers have especially been displaying over these last years.

Something I love so much about Satisfactory is how big something as simple as the end of the video is. Like I have massive factories and huge production lines and I am still excited about a feature that just makes a short part of the early game soo much easier. I think its because now I can use those features in later factories when I am setting up new lines and still trying to move power into a new place or I can just empty my 15 Industrial Storages of Biofuel into something useful.

Man I love Coffee Stain Studios. Great Communication and Staff. 10/10! Thank you guys!

At least you guys inform us what is out of the game and we didn't find it out first at the release date! Thank you for that!

Feature creep is actually a worse problem as home computers get faster. Too easy to go overboard. Better to reign in it and add new features later on.

I'm still hoping for waypoints for trains. I don't remember if that was mentioned in any previous videos, but if that's still an option it would be very useful for some more unique train systems. I know I have a train network in my current save that would be significantly improved if I could just tell trains to pass by a certain location on the rail without needing a whole station. I have no idea how difficult that would be to implement though, and it's technically unnecessary, even though it would be very useful. Especially if it could eventually be integrated with logic, but that's not a reasonable target anytime soon, if at all. Edit: Were those automated biomass burners at the end? If so, that'll be so nice :)

I always make stations separate from the main line that way trains have to exit to go to a station. Not sure if that's what you are going for, or something like that, kind of hard to understand what you mean through text. If my way of doing things helps, awesome. If I'm not understanding something simple, my bad.

​@@Remaggib I already do that usually, but that's not what I'm referring to. Basically, add something that is placed like a signal between pieces of track, give it a name, and trains can add it like a station to their schedule. The train would be forced to path through that waypoint, and wouldn't stop at it. In my case it would be useful for quite a few things, but one thing I would use it for with my current network is to force heavy trains to take a longer route up a hill, but light trains could just climb the shorter but steeper track up the hill. At the moment I just have the system designed to allow the train to build momentum to make it all the way up the hill without being interrupted in the middle of the hill by a signal, but it's not optimal, and I've noticed that trains get stuck on it if I happen to leave the game and reopen it when a train is on that hill. I could also make every train use a long path up the hill, but I would rather have more control that that.

@@coreycarries6325 As far as I can tell, you can't tell a train to path through a specific track without it being either the shortest track (so it paths there by default) or put a station on it to act as a dummy station. If I've missed something completely somehow, let me know, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't exist.

I can see the thought process; biomass power had 2 manual touchpoints (harvesting the biomass, feeding it into burners). Cutting it down to one manual touchpoint doesn't change the fundamental need to get to coal power, and it encourages you to find caterium to make a smart-split bio-power setup earlier.

The removal of flower petals and cartridges makes sense in the current context. But I can imagine some kind of automated flower farming process, maybe some little botanical container that produces them - and they could be used to recreate decorative flora from around the world so you could find a place in your base for them to live. That could be pretty cool. But it would have a very limited usefulness and people woould likely ditch them pretty quick... So, I dunnno, but it seems kinda cool.

Im kinda sad that some stuff i really wanted didnt make the cut but im still happy that were near 1.0. It was an amazing journey with you guys. I bought the game when it launched first on Epic Games and Satisfactory has become one of my favourite games of all time. Satisfactory is a prime example on how to hande early acces you guys are open about the develepment status and youre interacting with the community and its a blessing in todays standarts. And i hope 1.0 isnt the end of this wonderfull game i would buy any DLC for the game cause you all deserve it. Much love from Germany you guys ROCK!!!

With all the things you aren't adding, I'm excited to hear what could be better than those that you'll be adding! Thanks for being so transparent and setting our expectations. Also I'm happy for the flower change

Automating bio burners, and actually placing items on the ground? Love these changes.

Maybe you guys could add a giant crab blaster game to the HUB terminal?

I played for a long time and the factory side resonates with me so strongly that I'll probably try it out again, but what I really felt the game lacked was a why... I found myself spending hours building a factory to meet some arbitrary target that I had no connection to... The dream for me would be that there was some amazing combat system where the factory fed into a bunker that had to defend from waves of enemies and there was a real interactive guerilla warfare map like farcry series and had the combat mechanics of destiny 2 while in the world but I understand that it's clearly not easy. However, I feel like a simple but captivating game that's supported by the factory building (even as an alternate mode). Where the factory is sending resources into space and you then can log into a terminal and fight for territories or defend the galaxy from some tyranid-like invasion or something... I'm sure there's something that can be done to give the whole thing some sense of purpose

What about in 2.0??

I for one love how you did the end instead of just telling us

I have mixed feelings about the beacons. While I do love the map markers, I unlocked the map super fast and it took a lot of the mystery and feeling of discovery out of exploration for me. I personally think it would be really cool to have just beacons starting out, then you unlock the map after the first tier of the space elevator, and finally get markers a touch later. Perhaps as an awesome shop feature. I can totally understand why they were removed, since it would be a pain to support both, but I did feel like i had to add my two cents there. Id love to see other people's thoughts on this, since I'm unsure if its just a quirk with myself.

that outro tho, hit me right in the feels, almost brought me to tears

I don't see how this fits well together with their whole prioritization of what adds how much to the gameplay at which cost (i.e. developer time).

Combat and management aspects multiply themselves. So even the factory building is the key aspect of the game, dedicating some development to combat will improve the game significantly

I spent the last how ever long it's been since I started paying (sometime in update 3) hating flowers and paying to decorate, but now they're disappearing I feel oddly lost....

Excellent update folks. I do truly hope you're considering the option to let players daisy-chain buildings with powerlines for a smoother building process too. Keep up the good work.

Iirc, they've previously mentioned that they want to do some form of continuation after 1.0, they've just not decided what form it will take.

a pleasure to hear you talking about such stuff nearly all other studios dont do! communication is everything!

I think all of this makes complete sense. As someone who has delved into game sev myself, it really is huge amounts of times for things like this and yiu cant do it all, but it can come in the future! Excited for 1.0

I strongly disagree with the part of Circular Foundations. Calling it "not a smooth experience" is the understatement of the year. And suggesting we use those ridiculous workarounds instead feels kind of disrespectful, like you expect your playerbase to use all their time to build a damn curve.

Also it's the sort of thing that's very difficult to work out for yourself. Someone playing the game without researching specific building techniques online would almost never work out those ridiculous methods.

Thank you, Snutt! Regarding circular foundations I think the thing I want most is the ability to attach a foundation to another, and then rotate around one of the two connecting corners like a hinge so I can make the two foundations connect in a concave or convex manner around that connected corner. Would something like that be possible?

I'm really happy about the flower removal, picking up flowers has always been annoying. I've never used the customization features, so flowers have always been useless to me

Having neither curved foundations nor a proper road tool is a huge bummer. I really hoped connecting your factorys would be less tideous. But the automated bio generator will make the early game sooooo much better!

As someone who doesn't spend much time building structures and mainly focuses on exploration, I actually think the lack of circular foundations and dedicated roads is what makes Satisfactory so unique and challenging. I love using the trains as a substitute for trucks when covering large distances.
