Cannot wait for 1.0 to release.

[@wow6720]

I'm very glad the the Satisfactory devs speak so honestly about the practical aspects of game design and fixing games, so many gamers just assume that fixing bugs and making games is just so easy, when it's really not.

[@mattolson898]

Their community engagement is unreal. I wish all devs were half as good as Coffee Stain Studios 🫶

[@tyrant5616]

I love how realistic you all are when it comes to how releases actually work and setting expectations.

[@jeremyboudreaux4179]

agree

[@geneshairzan]

LETS GO 1.0 !!! cant wait anymoreeeeee

[@crawley6957]

I personally cannot wait for v1.0.1 on release day!

[@checkpoint2189]

I cannot wait for release, best game release of 2024 for sure!!!

[@kylemossi]

I for one am excited to throw away my whole factory. The best times I had on this game were running through the tiers for the first time and I was a little disappointed that I couldn't use the mercer spheres and summerset loop, or the S.A.M. ore. I am looking forward to a square one replay with all of the glory the devs intended.

[@ravage7295]

Hello from France, Courage to the whole team and thank you for this great game.

[@stevelawrie9115]

I've played this production game, a long time ago and when we did testing, if someone found an error, that was like fix error and test the entire thing again. Bit Stressful and you hate it when someone finds an error, but it's inevitable.

[@andrearrestad2943]

With all the node changes with 1.0 Waiting for release feels like purgatory!

[@christreadway9756]

As a developer(not games) who plays this game to relieve stress, I was always curious about how much stress a major or minor change can affect a game

[@edmundmondo1682]

Snutt Treptow is his stage name. Good choice! I wonder what easter's egg is behind that choice.

[@heyitsseabass]

are you ever adding half size walls to fit the short edge of the half foundation?

[@HowBoutDemBoyzz]

Gotta ask them, this isn't run by the developers :)

[@SatisfactoryClipsArchive]

October 3rd, 2023 Livestream Q&A: Will there be half-width Walls to match half-Foundations? kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHi4aJWXqp5jp6c

[@HowBoutDemBoyzz]

@@SatisfactoryClipsArchive the goat!

[@evox6878]

I litteraly took days off the week of the 10 September just for this

[@RMJ1984]

I'm happy to hear that they like Factorio developers are thinking about making a space dlc. I mean lets be real here. We all want Satisfactory SPACE dlc, we want to follow space elevator into orbit and we want to go to other planets!. This will be the gold state of the game. But until then. Factorio

[@miniFarten]

Thank you. I forget to click the LIKE button way to often sorry. It is rare that a developer will take so much time to keep users as up to date. Again thank you !

[@MusicMan-pq1ld]

glad to see we can finally use the bathroom after a hard day of optimizations to the factory, but sex update when

[@franchellevanheerden]

Water pipes are annoying at the moment. Only works fine when using the build menu, but from the tool belt or (middle mouse button copy function) it is a bit buggy. Sometimes escalators don't work going through the Conveyer holes. I would like an option to disable fog in the settings. For me who creates a tower Mega factory. It also improves performance by a million. Jetpack fuel is buggy. Would be nice if you could make the bracers to jump about 2 foundations further. That is about all i can think of right now.

[@jdestef]

Feature freeze and feature complete are two different things... Wonder what it'll be

[@MaxDeBleu]

Day 1 patch confirmed

[@kltechnerd8177]

I wanna play 1.0 now. I wish I could be in on the beta version.

[@adrianwilliams6577]

As long as the creatures aren't resurrected for the fourth time in 1.0 I'll be happy, if sales are excellent I envision the introduction of tiers 9 and 10.

[@mplewp]

Imagine a duplication glitch for the spiders 😹. Nightmares

[@johnberwyn23]

Why.....? Why......? Why would you say that?!

[@seichhornchen]

Everybody loves *CUTE KITTY CATS*. Why would you have nightmares?

[@jeremyschultz4731]

i cant wait to see an after 1.0 monster attack mod now that be something of nightmares a hoard of spiders swarm you.

[@michaelmonstar4276]

*what - WHAT will it look like.

[@lxbjerre]

What amazes me most is ppl doesnt realise that theres a difference between finding bugs "in house", and finding bugs on a global field. Some things just wont bug out until the game goes live, because not 2 players computers are the same.

[@vidim888]

Day 1 patches got bad rep for bad actors who put additional stuff like Kernel anti-piracy software or additional in-game purchase systems a day after the game came out.

[@Rogue0257]

After so much content and so many people already playing it, do you guys think you are going to get much more new players?

[@007i1]

Yes

[@arabhawk6568]

What game is this?

[@Grnademaster]

You can resolve the "z-layer" flickering already. Where 2 pieces of architecture are the same height and they constantly flicker. All you have to do is make the heights different by 1 integer. Prioritize a piece to appear over another. This can't be difficult. I want to do a lot of things with beams and concrete together. This stupid flickering ruins it

[@reldeam7367]

Which direction do you offset it? Always up? To the side? What about objects that can be at any angle, how do you determine the offset then? What if it's two of the same asset? How do you determine which asset you intended to see and which one you intended to hide? There are a few tricks already to slightly offset objects from each other. Have a look around.

[@davidmartensson273]

This is way harder than you might imagine, you say offset it, but to do that the engine needs to identify where this flickering actually happens and the only sure way to do that would be to keep the last few frames around and compare them for areas that switch back and forth. That will eat up memory and processing and since it might not show up in all angles it would have to do this constantly. The other alternative would be to calculate any intersecting planes where patterns are different. If you offset pieces that have the same homogeneous pattern you would create lines that did not exist and people would complain about that so you only would want this there you know it will be a problem, and that is a hard thing to identify. If not I am very sure the engine would already have this built in.

[@vaulttraveler]

they made a video explaining why its not that easy but they look if they can improve it.

[@mz00956]

The best solution would be a tool/mode where we can just push/pull a piece slightly

[@bovax6259]

NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING is perfect upon release. Especially computer code!! I would expect a day 1 patch because of all the systems that the game will have to run on and all the various things us players will do to the game that Snutt and the team just couldn't possibly think of testing first or even think "yeah, that was gonna break on release." They can only look in so many areas and test so many things meanwhile us players will get in depth on every biome, every nook and cranny, almost attempting to find a bug to get the game to break that we'll find what they just couldnt. So yeah, I expect a day 1 patch for 1.0. It's the most logical thing to happen on 1.0 release. Murphy will show himself and he will break something. It will happen and it will be at the most inopportune time. 😁

[@cbvids8781]

Oi! I haven't got grubby hands!

[@Cymon343]

this will be the oldest new game to memory.

[@leonardflaro6779]

when?

[@shadowforge]

Sept 10th

[@TheExsniperxe]

RELEASE DATE WHEN

[@shadowforge]

Sept 10th

[@timothyosborn637]

Are you currently in a development freeze?

[@SatisfactoryClipsArchive]

They're currently working towards a 1.0 release, so no new features or content.

[@shadowforge]

this isnt an official channel.....

[@Boy-zy6cu]

ah, i see. So since there won't be any more features added and only bugs will be fixed, then that means your job position won't be needed. Goodbye then!

[@MagicZ_YT]

Id way rather have bug fixing like 70-80% of the game features arent working properly and so many new people dont even realise it😅

[@wildtj4714]

People that complain about patches, complain about any kind of attempt to improve the game, or whatever it is, are just dumb, dont listen to dumb people..

[@specialopsrecon8818]

hey first to comment love the game guys!

[@HowBoutDemBoyzz]

Not an official channel :)

[@itsmaxmint]

Good vibes though ✌🏼

[@TheDementation]

This was a car crash.

[@jarno8608]

Crashes, crashes and more crashes LUL

[@JPEaglesandKatz]

Looking at the videos from the last years it sends such a confusing or chaotic message. It seems over the years you've been saying the same... Fixing a lot of bugs... Maybe an idea to test before releasing something so not that many bugs remain? So I gather that 1.0 doesn't actually add anything just freezing the game and fixing bugs? What I'm saying is that from all the videos I get the feeling that you guys have no control over the game and that is no direction or management. Rewriting stuff constantly? uhmm... not really standard in the business. Info and statements are constantly all over the place.. maybe this... maybe that..... we might do this, we might do that..

[@shadowforge]

See this shit pisses me off, there was ABSOLUTLY ZERO REASON to not tell us the release date in the fucking stream when they ended up doing it anyway a day later.... its Sept 10th btw

[@realBronas1]

Who cares??? Give us useful Updates for the Game!
