If you’ve been building factories, taming Lizard Doggos, or trying to figure out why your conveyor belts are playing some weird self-replicating game, then you’re in for a treat. The developers just dropped patch v1.0.0.5, packed with changes that will enhance your Satisfactory experience. This might be the last patch for a while, but they’re going out with a bang!
So, let’s dive into the juicy bits of this update. We’re talking about re-added visualization boxes for buildings, improved smoke effects for the Gas Pillars, and a treasure trove of bug fixes that will make your game much more stable. And who doesn’t want a smoother, less crash-prone experience when engaging in the complex art of resource management?
Patch Highlights
- Clearance Visualization On by Default: The developers have made those oh-so-important clearance boxes visible on buildings right from the get-go. This is huge for preventing you from running into your own designs—have you ever seen a factory collapse because you miscalculated a few inches?
- Gas Pillar Smoke Fix: The obnoxious lingering smoke from Gas Pillars has been successfully addressed, meaning your beautiful vistas will no longer look like a foggy day in London.
- Community Translations: Three additional languages are now fully translated in the game. So if you speak Arabic, Latvian, or Norwegian, you can now enjoy Satisfactory without those pesky language barriers. And your hard work hasn’t gone unnoticed by the translators out there!
Critical Bug Fixes
Now, let’s talk about the bug fixes. Honestly, the number of bugs squashed in this patch could fill a warehouse! Here are some of the notable improvements:
- Improved performance when hovering over large blueprints, so you can build without your frame rates spiraling into the abyss.
- Fixed the issue of Lizard Doggos taming too well, causing other creatures to vanish. You can no longer be the Lizard Doggo god, though it’d be pretty sweet if you could!
- Added sounds to the Jetpack for a more immersive experience when you’re soaring through your factory skies.
- Resolved a few multiplayer issues that would make you question your sanity, like losing your inventory when joining a session or having your nudging go haywire.
- Fixed the infamous “Efficiency First” achievement not unlocking properly on the Epic Games Launcher. Finally, no more angst about unearned accolades!
Modding and Server Improvements
If you’re a modder, this patch includes crucial updates that enhance functionality and fix inconsistencies. But for the dedicated server fans, some advanced game settings won’t accidentally follow you to new sessions anymore. No more unwarranted chaos!
Known Issues: What to Keep an Eye On
Of course, with every grand patch, there’s a few hiccups to be aware of:
- Some community translations are still in need. If you’re itching to help out, hit up the Discord.
- A workaround is available for switching between supported languages for struggling people. It’s a little technical (exiting the game and renaming folders), but we’re gamers—we’ve faced worse!
- And there are some driver issues for those with AMD Radeon 5000 Series GPUs. Try disabling upscaling or forcing DirectX 11 as your rendering API. Check out the linked video for detailed instructions!
Remember to keep your mods updated if you’re experiencing crashes or weird graphical artifacts. Outdated mods can be a source of endless frustration.
