Satisfactory has received patch v1.1.1.7 on PC, a release that takes the long-running spline collision refactor out of Experimental and bundles a set of Steam Deck improvements plus a handful of bug fixes. The spline collision work touches Conveyor Belts, Pipelines and Hypertubes and is intended to cut RAM use on huge saves. That change follows the earlier Experimental builds that tested the refactor. Players who have been following the Experimental branch can read more about that prior refactor in the experimental update v1.1.1.5 article.
There are also several Steam Deck-specific tweaks to make the first-run experience smoother. Those include updated font sizes and UI scaling defaults and new Deck-only graphical preset values for Quality and Performance modes so users can start with sensible settings and tweak them later. For reporting any problems after the patch, use the QA site where the team reads feedback daily.
