As employees of FICSIT Inc. enterprising space Pioneers are tasked with charting and exploiting a vast and diverse alien planet to construct and automate intricate multi-story factories for a mysterious unknown purpose. Players must also defend themselves against hostile alien lifeforms, automate vehicles and research new technologies to keep improving their constructs.

Satisfactory lands today with three different biomes on a vast handcrafted world (30km2) full of varyingly hostile alien creatures and six tiers of milestones that unlock machines, resources and equipment. The Early Access launch also offers multiplayer and vehicles with automation capabilities. The live development roadmap already outlines two new updates scheduled for the end of April and May that will bring new milestone tiers, research chains for sulfur and quarts, and a train to transfer your resources between outposts.

Coffee Stain Studios announced that Satisfactory will receive a slippery update on November 10th!

The Fluids Update will douse the game in a shower of new fluid and pipe content, a ton of new buildables, a jump pad overhaul, and a hugely gratifying Packager building. The new content continues to refine and upgrade the Satisfactory experience as it develops towards full commercial launch. The Fluids Update is available on the experimental branch now, and will launch onto the main Satisfactory Early Access branch on Steam and Epic Games Store on November 10th.

The Fluids Update upgrades the Satisfactory Fluid System, allowing for Mk.2 Pipelines that carry up to 600 cubic meters of fluids per minute, accompanied by the Pipeline Pump Mk.2 with superior head lift and new in-world feedback. The update also introduces two highly anticipated fluid features; The Packager, a small and energy efficient building which will replace the Refinery for packaging Fluids, and the Valve, which can control the maximum throughput of a Pipeline. 

Alongside the newly revamped fluid systems, Satisfactory is also introducing a host of new Factory building content for Pioneers. The Jump Pads have been revamped with useful new visual feedback, and pipe placement has been upgraded for a smoother experience, meaning pumps can now be rotated, and various wall attachments can be placed in new and exciting ways. As well as the wave of new content and building systems, the Fluids Update will bring a series of bug fixes and quality of life improvements. The full patch notes can be seen here.

Satisfactory is currently available in Early Access through the Epic Games Store and Steam Early Access for $29.95/€29.99.
