Satisfactory's first major update in a year brings back rain, adds fuel trucks and overhauls vehicle pathfinding, but Steam Deck players should approach with caution
It's been a long, dry year since Satisfactory last received a major update. Version 1.1 of Coffee Stain's hugely popular factory sim launched almost exactly twelve months ago, bringing proper controller support, an improved photo mode, better resource transportation, and more. Ye

Satisfactory 1.2 is finally here, and you're going to want to redesign your entire base
Satisfactory 1.2 has arrived, and that matters whether you're a long-term builder, a creative mode junkie, or someone starting out on their first adventure through the factory-crafting sandbox game. Coffee Stain Studios has spent months packing all manner of new quality-of-life f

Satisfactory 1.2 Update out now!

Hi Pioneers!
This update marks an important milestone for us since it’s the first time we’re officially launching an update simultaneously on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X, this way everyone can enjoy the update on their favourite platforms!
If you haven't seen what the update has to offer, be sure to check out our latest trailer below:
[dynamiclink href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoHCYhlYjlc"][/dynamiclink]

If you encounter any issues while playing, please let us know over at our QA Site
https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/ We read your posts every day!

While you wait for your download to finish, Here’s a breakdown of most of the new additions from the update
Weather
Rain is back! And better than ever, since its previous iteration from Update 6 we’ve done many improvements to it, with enhanced visual effects such as wetness on buildings and the pioneer’s suit, improved wind, fog, multiple variants of rain density, thunder and more!
Additionally, with a brand-new system to support it, rain will also now be occluded by most buildables, foundations and walls, and both visuals and audio will be impacted by this creating a much more atmospheric experience all around your factories and world
You can also tweak the frequency and intensity of Rain in the new World settings tab in the Options Menu
The World settings menu includes:
Weather presets
Default
Dry
The Great MASSAGE-2 (AB)b
Clear
Raining Kittens and Puppies
Extreme
World settings
Visor Effect - Raindrops on/off
Thunder on/off
Fog Density Slider
Added fog density slider
Found in Options > Video > Advanced
Controls the density of the fog in the map
Unreal Engine 5.6.1
If you missed it from the previous experimental from a month ago, we’ve also upgraded our Unreal Engine version to 5.6.1, bringing performance improvements all across the board
Controller
Since we launched Controller support on PC with 1.0 and later polished further again with the Console release we’ve received various feedback about functionality that you all would like to have, so once again we’ve closely collaborated with the help of the awesome folks at Fishlabs (https://fishlabs.de/) and some of your suggestions are now part of 1.2, such as:
Dynamic Gamepad Swap
You can now seamlessly switch from Mouse and Keyboard to Controller without having to change them in the options menu each with the new “Dynamic Gamepad Swap” Option in the Controls tab in the options menu
Whenever you press a button or key on your Controller or Keyboard, the game will now adjust on the fly to whatever you’re using
Of course, if you would prefer to avoid accidentally changing your input methods, you can still select only Keyboard and Mouse or Controller exclusively if you disable the Dynamic Swap
Rebindable keybindings for controller
We’ve seen that due to personal preferences or accessibility reasons it would help a lot of you to be able to tweak the existing controller configuration
With this update most Controller bindings can now be rebound in the Options menu in the Keybindings tab, if you can’t find the settings, please remember that these can only be accessed while using a controller
Vehicle paths rework
Vehicle path automation has been completely remade from the ground up with an entirely new system, old automated Vehicle routes should continue to work as-is, but from now on you will be able to place down Vehicle Paths from the Transport tab from the Build Menu by using the build gun, and then placing the Vehicle on top of the Path itself, similar to how Trains currently work with Railways and Locomotives

Straight build mode for Vehicle paths is available too and so are individual paths for each type of vehicle if you want to really customize your paths further

UI has also been changed to fit with the new system, showing available Vehicle Stations and Routes accessible when entering any Vehicle and opening the Vehicle Menu

Vehicle path colors can also be customized from the Options Menu, in the User Interface tab for your preferences or accessibility uses
Vehicle suspension improvements
Manual driving has been improved as well on top of the self-driving controls, so not only automation will be improved but driving around and exploring the world should be more enjoyable as well!
Fluid Station and Truck
Fluid Stations and Fluid Trucks are now in the game! This allows for an alternative way to transport and store fluids across long distances, all the new changes to vehicle paths and improvements also apply to them

Both the Station and Truck have a Capacity of 3200 m3 in their internal storage

Unlocked in Tier 5 as part of the usual Logistics Mk.4 Milestone
Creative Mode
With 1.2 we have now renamed the old Advanced Game Settings Menu into Creative Mode, the functionality remains the same as before, disabling achievements and enabling many settings so you can have options to build around freely
Game Modes
We’re also introducing a brand-new menu for Game Modes, available only when creating a New Game, Game Modes do not disable achievements, and will allow you to enjoy Satisfactory in new ways compared to a regular playthrough with the introduction of Cost Multipliers and World Randomization

All of the settings below can be adjusted individually independently of each other, and once active they cannot be turned off forever for that save, any settings active on this save will also apply during multiplayer sessions
Cost Multipliers
Space Elevator Deliverable Cost Multipliers
0.25
0.50

World Seed
Shows the current world seed so you can share it with friends, currently other settings have to be manually matched on top of sharing the seed
Default world seed for a vanilla game is 0
Photo Mode
Photo Mode has gotten a few new upgrades this time around, with a few new upgrades
One new colour filter
“I know what you are”
One new effect filter
“Blueprint”
All photo mode poses also have new variants for when the pioneer is using a hover pack
Selfie Mode
We also have a brand-new Camera mode aside from First Person and Decoupled for the Photo Mode

You now have access to Selfie Mode, with a Selfie style camera for the Pioneer with support for its own set of poses, arm and head rotation, new cropping settings to mimic cell phone aspect ratios and all the settings and the usual image filters you know from the regular Photo Mode
SPWN
Another new buildable reminiscent of common day facilities built for maximum efficiency at the workplace
Unlockable as a part of the Alien Technology MAM Research tree
Alien Technology
SPWN
1 Mercer Sphere
11 SAM Fluctuator
20 Steel Pipe
Daisy chaining
This new MAM Unlock allows 2 power connections to be made to the same building and lets you connect buildings to each other allowing power to flow from building to building as a part of the power grid, instead of the usual pole to building setup

Unlockable as a part of the Caterium Research tree
Caterium
Upgraded Power Connectors
15 Computer
50 High Speed Connector
500 Quickwire

New buildables
We also have two new buildable pieces to allow for further customization when factory building
Pipeline T-Junction
Unlocked as a part of the Tier 3 – Coal Power Milestone
Cross Beam
Unlocked as a part of the Beam Expansion Pack in the AWESOME Shop

Real pause menu
There’s a new option, enabled by default, where pressing ESC to bring up the Pause menu will actually pause the game logic as well so you no longer have to worry about creatures sneaking up on you while you go grab a snack after long hours of hard factory work
Only available in Single Player, will be disabled in Multiplayer sessions

Quality of Life
As usual with every update, we also have plenty of QOL upgrades all across the board
Console Parity
All the changes that have come from the Console version, including bugfixes are now part of the PC version as of this 1.2 Update
Options Menu
We’ve done a full pass of the Options menu and all settings and creating consistency with the terminology and values
Hologram rotation mode
Found in Options > Controls, with this option you can change what the default rotation is when holograms are created by the buildgun, you can choose between:
Static
Spawn Facing Player
Always Face Player
As well as control what is the relative rotation to the player, between:
Relative Rotation to Player
Parallel
Perpendicular
Left handed train signals
Sampling a left handed signal will now correctly give a left handed signal instead of a default right handed signal
Manta art update
The Flying Manta has gotten a new visual overhaul
Signs
After several years of seeing you all use signs as lights and building thousands of them we finally caved in, Signs can now be zooped :)
Additionally, zooped signs on the ground will have a pole attached to them
Remembering Snapping Toggle
Enable or disable the saving of your snap toggle decision across the game

As usual, before you try Experimental, make sure to BACK UP YOUR SAVES just in case so if there’s anything unexpected you can keep your factory safe, you can find them in:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\\FactoryGame\\Saved\\SaveGames\/code Without further ado, Here’s the highlights of 1.2: Weather Rain is back! And better than ever, since its previous iteration from Update 6 we’ve done many improvements to it, with enhanced visual effects such as wetness on buildings and the pioneer’s suit, improved wind, fog, multiple variants of rain density, thunder and more! Additionally, with a brand-new system to support it, rain will also now be occluded by most buildables, foundations and walls, and both visuals and audio will be impacted by this creating a much more atmospheric experience all around your factories and world You can also tweak the frequency and intensity of Rain in the new World settings tab in the Options Menu The World settings menu includes: Weather presets Default Dry The Great MASSAGE-2 (AB)b Clear Raining Kittens and Puppies Extreme World settings Rain Post processing on/off Thunder on/off Fog Density Slider Added fog density slider Found in Options > Video > Advanced Controls the density of the fog in the map Unreal Engine 5.6.1 If you missed it from the previous experimental from a month ago, we’ve also upgraded our Unreal Engine version to 5.6.1, bringing performance improvements all across the board Controller Since we launched Controller support on PC with 1.0 and later polished further again with the Console release we’ve received various feedback about functionality that you all would like to have, so once again we’ve closely collaborated with the help of the awesome folks at Fishlabs ( https://fishlabs.de/ ) and some of your suggestions are now part of 1.2, such as: Dynamic Gamepad Swap You can now seamlessly switch from Mouse and Keyboard to Controller without having to change them in the options menu each with the new “Dynamic Gamepad Swap” Option in the Controls tab in the options menu Whenever you press a button or key on your Controller or Keyboard, the game will now adjust on the fly to whatever you’re using Of course, if you would prefer to avoid accidentally changing your input methods, you can still select only Keyboard and Mouse or Controller exclusively if you disable the Dynamic Swap Rebindable keybindings for controller We’ve seen that due to personal preferences or accessibility reasons it would help a lot of you to be able to tweak the existing controller configuration With this update most Controller bindings can now be rebound in the Options menu in the Keybindings tab, if you can’t find the settings, please remember that these can only be accessed while using a controller Vehicle paths rework Vehicle path automation has been completely remade from the ground up with an entirely new system, old automated Vehicle routes should continue to work as-is, but from now on you will be able to place down Vehicle Paths from the Transport tab from the Build Menu by using the build gun, and then placing the Vehicle on top of the Path itself, similar to how Trains currently work with Railways and Locomotives Straight build mode for Vehicle paths is available too and so are individual paths for each type of vehicle if you want to really customize your paths further UI has also been changed to fit with the new system, showing available Vehicle Stations and Routes accessible when entering any Vehicle and opening the Vehicle Menu Vehicle path colors can also be customized from the Options Menu, in the User Interface tab for your preferences or accessibility uses Vehicle suspension improvements Manual driving has been improved as well on top of the self-driving controls, so not only automation will be improved but driving around and exploring the world should be more enjoyable as well! Fluid Station and Truck Fluid Stations and Fluid Trucks are now in the game! This allows for an alternative way to transport and store fluids across long distances, all the new changes to vehicle paths and improvements also apply to them Both the Station and Truck have a Capacity of 3200 m3 in their internal storage Unlocked in Tier 5 as part of the usual Logistics Mk.4 Milestone Creative Mode With 1.2 we have now renamed the old Advanced Game Settings Menu into Creative Mode, the functionality remains the same as before, disabling achievements and enabling many settings so you can have options to build around freely Game Modes We’re also introducing a brand-new menu for Game Modes, available only when creating a New Game, Game Modes do not disable achievements, and will allow you to enjoy Satisfactory in new ways compared to a regular playthrough with the introduction of Cost Multipliers and World Randomization All of the settings below can be adjusted individually independently of each other, and once active they cannot be turned off forever for that save, any settings active on this save will also apply during multiplayer sessions Cost Multipliers Space Elevator Deliverable Cost Multipliers 0.25 0.50 0.75 1 (Default) 2 5 10 25 50 100 Recipe Parts Cost Multiplier 0.25 0.50 0.75 1 (Default) 1.25 1.50 1.75 2 Power Consumption Multiplier 0.25 0.50 0.75 1 (Default) 2 5 World Randomization Resource Node Randomization Default Random Basic Resource Rich Advanced Resource Rich Fossil Fuel Rich Resource Node Purity Default All Pure Mostly Pure Average Mostly Impure All Impure Random World Seed Shows the current world seed so you can share it with friends, currently other settings have to be manually matched on top of sharing the seed Default world seed for a vanilla game is 0 Photo Mode Photo Mode has gotten a few new upgrades this time around, with a few new upgrades One new colour filter “I know what you are” One new effect filter “Blueprint” All photo mode poses also have new variants for when the pioneer is using a hover pack Selfie Mode We also have a brand-new Camera mode aside from First Person and Decoupled for the Photo Mode You now have access to Selfie Mode, with a Selfie style camera for the Pioneer with support for its own set of poses, arm and head rotation, new cropping settings to mimic cell phone aspect ratios and all the settings and the usual image filters you know from the regular Photo Mode SPWN Another new buildable reminiscent of common day facilities built for maximum efficiency at the workplace Unlockable as a part of the Alien Technology MAM Research tree Alien Technology SPWN 1 Mercer Sphere 11 SAM Fluctuator 20 Steel Pipe Daisy chaining This new MAM Unlock allows 2 power connections to be made to the same building and lets you connect buildings to each other allowing power to flow from building to building as a part of the power grid, instead of the usual pole to building setup Unlockable as a part of the Caterium MAM Research tree Caterium Upgraded Power Connectors 15 Computer 50 High Speed Connector 500 Quickwire New buildables We also have two new buildable pieces to allow for further customization when factory building Pipeline T-Junction Unlocked as a part of the Tier 3 – Coal Power Milestone Cross Beam Unlocked as a part of the Beam Expansion Pack in the AWESOME Shop Real pause menu There’s a new option, enabled by default, where pressing ESC to bring up the Pause menu will actually pause the game logic as well so you no longer have to worry about creatures sneaking up on you while you go grab a snack after long hours of hard factory work Only available in Single Player, will be disabled in Multiplayer sessions Quality of Life As usual with every update, we also have plenty of QOL upgrades all across the board Console Parity All the changes that have come from the Console version, including bugfixes are now part of the PC version as of this 1.2 Update Options Menu We’ve done a full pass of the Options menu and all settings and creating consistency with the terminology and values Hologram rotation mode Found in Options > Controls, with this option you can change what the default rotation is when holograms are created by the buildgun, you can choose between: Static Spawn Facing Player Always Face Player As well as control what is the relative rotation to the player, between: Relative Rotation to Player Parallel Perpendicular Left handed train signals Sampling a left handed signal will now correctly give a left handed signal instead of a default right handed signal Manta art update The Flying Manta has gotten a new visual overhaul Signs After several years of seeing you all use signs as lights and building thousands of them we finally caved in, Signs can now be zooped :) Additionally, zooped signs on the ground will have a pole attached to them

Last year's addictive co-op building game, Satisfactory, is 30% off in Humble's Cyber Monday sale
There are few joys quite like turning an alien planet which was doing just fine without us into a beautifully organised industrial nightmare... and Satisfactory, one of the best building games of last year, remains the king of that oddly meditative fantasy. Thanks to the Humbl St
