i will never not find it incredible that a niche genre like automation is where we find this incredible group of talented, transparent, receptive and down-to-earth developers. Satisfactory is shaping up to be a masterpiece of game design and community support. Thank you Jace, Snutt and everyone else on the team for cultivating such an amazing community, helps a lot.
My Satisfactory is unmodded except for day/night setting. I love locking the time in at certain periods, be it perma-night (really nice when playing at night!!) or dawn/dusk and such. ^^
This is actually a great idea. I'd love a suite of tools around this idea: lock time (so its locked to whatever time you wanted) and adjust time so you could have a short night but still have pretty sunrises and sunsets, or a long night, etc. V-Rising let's you adjust time like that. We typically set it to have fairly long 24 hour cycles (so a full 24 hours might take 20 mins) but has a very short daytime (since your more or less trapped during daytime it can get tedious if day is very long). Settings like that always make me think of weird stuff. What would the world look like with 3-4 hour long days an 20 hour long nights? Lol. Probably way less large complex vegetation for sure.
I also wish we could reduce the speed of moons and planets in the sky. The only thing that breaks immersion for me is the speed those moons traverse the sky.
Yeah, I'm curious if this applies specifically to tools that are equipped or to all tools period (equipped tools and tools in general inventory). If I'm short on equipment slots, I'll often carry additional tools with me in general inventory and swap them into a slot when needed.
Would love an ore randomizer, keeping the same counts of each and some logic for where things can go, but giving each new start a very different feel. Honestly, an extra option for randomizing the counts would be extremely interesting, as it would push us toward different recipes. Edit: Added to the Q&A site! "Can we have an ore node randomizer?"
weighted so we dont get multiple uranium ores on starting locations, but this idea is great, one thing that frustrated me a bit when I moved on to my second save is that it was all the same world, and if i went to the places i knew it was the same.
Are you putting this onto the Q&A site? Otherwise I'd be eager to do it. This is a great idea and should definitely be seen by the devs. I hope this is technically not to difficult to be implemented.
As others have said, god mode, but also, you can fall once from full health without dying. As long as you don't fall again before healing completely, you should be fine
@@hardbrocklife no. Creative mode means that you can do whatever you want with no cost or worries, like in a sandbox game, but prior to this it was simply a building game.
I'll would see a hardcore mode, where: -monster can raid your home -you can permanent dead -Other players can kill you -you dont get resource back or 50%/25% back. This could be interested on the servers.
I particularly love the ability to remove all the spiders in the game in this update, in my current gameplay even if they are shown as cats i am still way too scared to confront them, and i dont even dare to explore deep caves coz i know they will pop up out of nowhere and give me a heart attack. Thank god and you guys for this update!
In other games - like Minecraft, for example, or Subnautica - I'll often have a Creative Mode save where I can test out designs or systems before going into a hardcore or survival world to implement them. It allows me to be more creative and daring with my builds, so I warmly welcome these options :)
This two save pattern is mandatory in Space Engineers IMO, though the blueprint editor in satisfactory largely serves this purpose to me. glad to see options for people who want them though - and the new keep equipment default is a VERY good change I'm happy to see come to satisfactory!
Some games have so many gameplay layers that can get overwelming really fast, like factorio. I aint touching combat in that game until I can finish the game once in peaceful. Removing tediousness in satisfactory even by "cheating" and letting you play with the "fun" stuff is a very welcome change for me.
I play a LOT of No Man's Sky and I've enjoyed being able to toggle creative and no power modes. What I usually do is play in normal while adventuring, find the perfect spot for a build, go into creative for a few moments to build something that'll give me a basic idea of future build, then switch back to normal mode to continue adventuring. Once ready, I usually build bases in normal mode with power and everything connected normally. I love all the new options!
I have a Minecraft world that's just named "Test", which is a flat map in creative with a bunch of random things built trying to either design resource farms or just testing a bunch of things trying to find something that looks good, that would involve a lot of building and dismantling. I've also briefly done it with Factorio, when designing a large nuclear plant, because Factorio nuclear plants have to deal with heat transfer and two types of fluids, and if you partially fill in a body of water to build around, you can't undo that.
i really like the method you guys chose for ags, because it would be so bad if a person could just go into there change some stuff and go back. now it is really more like a separate branch of the game, not just a gamemode like in minecraft or even valheim
Almost everything you talked about is flipping awesome, in the usual Coffee Stain manner! And thank you again for listening to the community! The only thing I wish was different, is that the "Disable Arachnid Creatures" wouldn't be an AGS feature. I don't want to enable it, just to get rid of the spiders. For me, even enabling Arachnophobia mode, and spiders looking like (creepy, because static) cat images, still doesn't help. In the back of my mind I still know those are spiders, "hiding" behind a cat image. I hope this makes sense to anybody not suffering from bad arachnophobia.
I really like new all alternate recipes setting. First time is fun collecting them one by one, second time is so so, but after that it gets kinda annoying to explore just so you can start building specific part of your factory on a new save. So that setting is a big plus for me, for rest of them i don't think i will ever use them but it is nice to have them in the game.
I'm super excited to skip the Bioburner stage on new saves. It's the only form of "maintenance" in Satisfactory, and was only fun for me the first few times.
i think this update (like many, if not all of your updates TBF) really summarizes how benevolent you guys are as a studio in that you have a vision for the game but you are very supportive of allowing people to play the game how they want to play, which is a really cool and under utilized mindset. Props again, I sound like a broken record telling you you guys are awesome every video but you are really are a unique and special studio. cheers and best of luck onward as always
I think you did a good job juggling AGS and convenience. I would maybe add into the red warning text something that says "Using AGS is not the intended core experience/challenge" or something like that.
Agreed, I see myself using it to skip first 2 or 3 tiers on new save to get to unlock "basic" buildings for proper factory, or avoid hours tracking down every last Hard Drive to get that one alternative receipt i just have no luck getting
@@keeganolsen1616 That means you have to fight temptation every time you see them (if you're struggling/game is too hard/are on the other side of the map and need some resources), whereas having the option on game start means you only have to choose once.
An interesting advanced game setting would be being able to change the purity of the ores whether that's individually done per ore or if there is a setting to change all ores or even possibly changing the purity of the whole world so it skews more towards resource rich world but still has a few impure nodes or a barren world, with a few pure oases. It would certainly make interesting playthroughs and allow even more replay ability!
Random Nodes gameplay would be incredibly fun for pro players to keep the game fresh and exciting. Exploration and towers would be very important. I have been playing since day 1, I have the map memorized (or re-memorized). This would force a new strategy option. I think the proportions and locations should remain the same, just the distribution randomized.
How's story mode going? I was super pleased when I've discovered all the story behind the subnautica game. It gave a new motivation to explore the world and unlock all the tech. I believe it took my experience to a whole new level and I think it would be a great addition to Satisfactory. All the love to the team, keep up the masterful work!
The story will only be revealed when the game exits Early Access. This not only means we all get to experience it together but that there isn't any kind of weird change midway through that sends us sideways. If they had a storyline now, then they might have issues explaining some of the modifications to the game that have developed. It's much better to develop the functionality of the game separately and only really commit to a final story when the story is done.
Being able to unlock stuff up front is nice, but one setting I think would be useful to have would be one to carry over unlocked alternate recipes and MAM progress from a previous save (as sort of a "New Game Plus" type mode) instead of just unlocking everything. I am tentatively planning to start a fresh world with update 8, but having to go back and unlock a bunch of the alternate recipes makes me second-guess it. Presumably this would require carrying over the collected hard drive progress as well though to keep it balanced, which might be a bit trickier to do.
I like this addition, but definitely agree that its a slippery slope. It would be easy to be tempted into using it and then regret it later. The fun is in the challenge. You should add this feature. When you enable advanced game settings, jace pops up on screen for a moment, shaking his head in disappointment. To remind us that we are letting down someone we love.
I do agree with you. I do love the QoL introduced, but yes, build with no cost and no power honest screw all the fun and the challenge. For the counterpart, it's very useful for content creators.
"When you enable advanced game settings, jace pops up on screen for a moment, shaking his head in disappointment. To remind us that we are letting down someone we love." This.
I turned on arachnophobia mode on and forgot about it, got jump scared by a giant cat glitch face, and now I'm scared of both. The disable spiders option is a lifesaver!
As a person who doesn't have arachnophobia irl it's still exactly the thing what happened with me too! I was even more scared by those glitchy cats than by default spiders! So I left the spiders in the end and got used to them :D After some time, I even fell in love with those creatures (in some slightly distorted sense of the word lol) They are still scary no doubt, but it's hard for me to imagine the game without them.
@@zombiekilla25979same. I turned the setting on without knowing what it did and when I died by a glitch face cat, I feared the cats just as much as the spiders lol
I think making you directly enable AGS on a save before you can use it is a perfect way of dealing with it. It's like having to enable cheats when you make a world in Minecraft, but a bit more flexible. The biggest thing I want to try with this is starting a new world and enabling the automatic alt recipes from the beginning, because I like the hard drives but I rarely use the alt recipes because by the time I get them, I already have my whole production line of that item set up. So this will give me a good chance to check them out.
I wish to god more developers felt that way. I frequently see both players and developers struggling with this. Too often options are taken away. It's always made little sense to me so long as those options are, well, optional.
One thing that always bothered me about arachnophobia mode was that it still dropped the spider corpses, which was still a bit on the bordering side. I think some basic cat food model could replace the item for arachnophobia mode. I also think some sounds still made it past arachnophobia mode, but im not all that sure about it, like, I think ambient stepping sounds weren't replaced.
I'm so glad you thought through the issues with making it too easily accessible -- that was exactly what I was worried about as I was hearing about all these options. I was concerned it would be too tempting to quickly turn on in-game, which I've found tends to ruin the fun. But you thought of that -- amazing! The thoughtfulness you put into the implementation is very much appreciated.
Implementing Day Night cycle mod to AGS or even just in photo mode would be awesome. It seems very non game breaking and would really help with lighting, the world, and enhancing all the fun features the game already has.
Another nice feature would be to be able to set a creature damage multiplier. Most creatures just don't feel powerful enough. So a 2x Creature damage Setting would be nice.
@@thientranduc-pu2nn Charger: With blade runners, jump shortly before it reaches you. Spitter: Sidestep, and then reverse direction *after* it fires. Stinger: Just kill it lol. Big stinger: Just die lol.
Excited for the equipment loss change, and not having to hunt for hard drives anymore. I love that the hard drives encourage exploration, but now when I explore I can just worry about finding a new spot to build, not what jank way I'm going to try to get up to a drive. Thanks Jace, helps a lot!
Love the idea to make AGS a one-way action - as you say gamers will take the easy option when the going gets tough and miss out on the satisfaction (which let's face it is in the name). They will tell you that they won't, but they will, and they'll want to enable it, cheat and then disable it so they can say they achieved it for real - making it one way retains the challenge, the integrity of a real achievement and therefore the satisfaction - great job!
Option, that's the key I think. Sometimes it's just fun to play around and build the perfect factory. Personally I always love the first play-through on a game, though find the replay value goes up when you can choose how your next session is going to be. Having this as an option is therefore in my opinion, the perfect way of doing it.
thank you so much for adding this, I'm one of those creative minds and I love building and experimenting with this game. plus it allows us to build a separate save for testing purposes before we waste precious resources in our base save. I'm am totally looking forward to next weeks release of update 8, you guys rock!
game modes you could also add: creative: you have everything unlocked and infinite of all the resources (for all those people who want to build a factory for the fun of it). build: you have every thing unlocked but still have to collect the resources to build. normal: the normal. easy: biomass burns slower, resource nodes are more abundant and you take less damage. hard: biomass burns faster, there are less resource nodes and you take more damage. hardcore: same as hard just with only one life.
Thank you for making these all separate options. I might actually complete a full playthrough since these address some of the big friction points I have. Thank you!
This is awesome! I can totally see myself using the no build cost option in a non-cheetey playthrough just to make dismantling large factories less of a pain. I won't use most of them, but it's nice to know they are there. Also it will be really nice to be able to quickly experiment in a "creative" world before making something big in your main world.
I really appreciate this kind of transparency and level of options, especially in a game as multifaceted as Satisfactory, and double-especially in a development process like Satisfactory's. The option to skip a few phases (basically skipping to coal so I don't have to deforest an entire zone for biofuel) is fantastic. Adding a flying toggle to the base (non-modded, anyway) game is also fantastic; I can turn it off while exploring, but for me it's essential while building big factories (the hover pack never quite clicked for me).
You made my child incredibly happy with this. We have both owned the game since the original Epic release and but he LOVES to play Sandbox mode and has been anticipating it for a very very long time and now we are finally getting it. I can now build a factory while he builds absurd contraptions without repercussion. Just know that you made a little kid smile today (as well as his big-kid father)
Just a suggestion for the Advanced Game Settings. you could make it so that players can lock them to prevent cheating in items while allowing changes like passive mode or removing spiders. That way temptation would be completely removed. Edit: I understand that this may be kinda hard to understand what I mean. But For some people having access to cheats can be a tempting way and a quick way to ruin the fun of a game. Ultimately I understand that this may be hard to implement because the devs don't want to be dealing with people asking them how to unlock. Perhaps they could take a page from Rimworld where the Dev Options can be completely disabled but to reenable it is just a file that needs to be deleted. In the FAQ website they could have a page about it to help people because having a distance rather than an in-game option that you can change on the fly can be very tempting. Also I know that they lock you out by default but being able to change stuff like retaliate and drop no items can be helpful so having the option to lock in the change after you set it could be helpful. Ultimately I know mods can add in this feature however I see it as an accessibility feature so it should be available to everyone without having to download mods. I know that this would take time and energy to implement. But with that said this is just a suggestion.
Thanks, Jace, helps a lot! The Armadyl Godsword will be super nice for when I've got an idea bumbling around in my head, but lack the time to do it "properly"!
Nice! I think you implemented this perfectly. I for one was a little worried when I saw the options just there in the menu, tempting you at all times. I think making something like this explicitly committal is super important.
Awesome video! I really like that you put all that power of the gameplay experience into our hands, so we can experience it the way we like it the most. I played quiet a few hours now and I can say that the intended gameplay-experience is a really cool experience and I want to keep on like that. But when starting a new factory, I would not want to collect leafs and wood again. My first goal is always to get coal power plants as fast as possible, so I can automate power production. The first tier always was a little like "ugh, no biomass again for the burners. Maaan. *picks up chainsaw*" Now, I can relax and cheat some leafs or wood for biomass burners. Love it.
I feel like setting inventory to "loose all" is slightly out of place. For example if you want harder experience, not only your save is marked as "cheaty" but on a server you basically enable cheats for everyone.
I guess, but keeping your equipment as default makes so much sense, so I can't even see myself ever wanting to put it back to "lose all" anymore. It was so annoying to have to grab my backup gear to go get my other gear, just so I can go back to the hub to put the backup gear back.
I want a setting to permanently disable(not give me an option to enable it in the first place) AGS on every save on a particular world, so that i can't be even the slightly tempted to enable it.
It's been decades now that game developers tries to make a "good" creative mode. It took you guys to come along and really think about it to make it so great, clean and simple. We see the care you guys put on developing news features for the game and it shows, every single time. Thanks for the good work, can't wait to try every new things out!
We seem to get a lot of options that simply make the game a lot easier. I get it, a lot of people would like that. Is it possible we also get somethings that make it harder, such as more monsters, harder monsters, node exhausting, ect?
When I first ran into the spiders in Satisfactory I wasn't afraid at all. Then I found the ones the size of a person, and still wasn't scared. Then I found the ones the size of a VW van, and immediately switched the bulk of my production from space elevator tech to nuclear explosives.
Having been there and done that in the game multiple times, i love the new ags features that let me just basically sandbox a new factory into existence. Great job Coffee Stain!
I like that you can change starting tiers. I always go into new games wanting to keep everything clean but not having enough stuff unlocked to really do it well.
Honestly a fantastic update. As someone who has played a vanilla game quite a way through, I wanted to get full freedom to build a crazy factory. This deliverers everything I want from that! A potential idea to encourage the original game experience you could potentially have AGS as an unlockable achievement upon hitting a certain milestone (like hitting Space Elevator Stage 3). Plus you could maybe have a check in the defines for this that people could mod out if they are really bothered.
I think they way they have it right now is pretty good because being able to activate it on a playthrough from the beginning is really useful, and I don't see (at least for myself) using it in a world I'm currently playing through. I honnestly think they should only let it be activated when creating a new world. That way you can make a "creative" world for messing around in, and not have the temptation of cheating in a vanilla save.
@@galacticviper4453 I can see enabling AGS midgame. The later milestones are quite tough to achieve so after playing 100 hours with your savegame and you lose motivation for the last milestone why not enabling it via AGS and have fun building again?
Just the fact that the they gave us the ability to make critters passive made game play so much better for me. I came back because of that. And the kitties too. :)
Since the beginning i just play in a selfmade "sandbox" mode (safegame editor) [no resources needed to build,everything unlocked, but still need all power and inputs] ... And 1500 hours later i still enjoy every second of this game. I really love more options ingame to make some kind of sandboxy experience! Awesome.
I think this is great for a few reasons: I have invested almost 300 hours in the game, so I'm familiar enough with the "satisfactory" part of the game where you lean back and look over your completed factory. But after having restarted the game a few times either because I felt like it, or broken saves, it starts getting a bit old to go through the different tiers, if you simply want to try out a new feature in a new update, especially considering the frequency of updates in Satisfactory. I still love playing the game with the 'vanilla' experience, but if I simply want to play around with new stuff, this is great for that. Thanks Jace, helps a lot!
9:29 THANK YOU FOR THIS CHANGE! It is especially good in the early game before you have copper to make another xeno-zapper, if you lose the starter one by some fluffy-tailed hogs or something. Had this happen on my original save, and never played the game for months until I saw some more Satisfactory content on RUclips and decided to give it another shot.
Honestly Satisfactory has become my adult train set that I could never afford. Come to think of it Satisfactory has drop my real world productivity to.... crap how am I going to keep the lights on?
You guys are awesome, every updates feel necessary, i've known so many games in which most of the updates i was like "oh okay that doesn't change anything and they kept us waiting for a whole year to add it ?" but for satisfactory's updates i'm always surprised by new good features that really impact the game in the good way and that's awesome !
First of all dude i'm gonna miss you as the community manager but will follow you on your own chanel. Second i love the way coffeestain is handling the development the way they do. I myself only have 1 to 3 hours a week of gametime and stuff like flying will make this game less of a hassle for me as i don't have to fight with power points for the hoverpack.
Thank you for the extra advanced settings. It is great to have fine tuning choices and shortcuts for advanced experimentation after we have played the vanilla game through several times. Thank you! Much Luvz for all! ❤
most excited for the flight mode (sometimes its so tricky to place buildings and pipes and stuff and the lookout tower can be so cumbersome) and removing the spiders (so creepy)!
One of the mods I use has all these features, and I exclusively use it to fly so building is easier. I personally find building so frustrating just running around trying to get the right angle. SOOOOOOOO GLAD to see this getting added.
Regarding Moving through the world. I think flight mode will be good as is, but what we could really need is a map teleport for the game settings, I'd be more than happy with a loading screen, just like when respawning at the hub.
Thank you so very much! I absolutely understand the desire to keep the challenge in the game, but for me I get burnt out very quickly on certain days and find myself abandoning my save before I do what I wanted to do. I would probably have a few saves at different teirs to play at the level that I'm craving in that moment, but still be able to explore everything that the game has to offer~ Thank you for being the exact type of development team that I wish to be apart of myself!
All these “AGS” settings are great news even for veteran players like me. I have plans to start a new playthrough once the game is updated to its full release. I don’t want to have to reunlock everything all over again, so these settings are a great way for me to speed up my progression and playtime.
Thanks to using mods I generally have to restart every update, so normally I end up burning out before finishing Tier 5 and 6 as I redo everything I've done before. The ability to just pick up at the Tiers I left off the previous save will be a game changer, letting me skip to building the extensive networks I enjoy building and or building a starter base quickly.
Being able to skip biomass is huge tbh. I hate playing through that every time I start a new game. Especially because I want to preserve the trees and vegetation and incorporate them into my factories too. It feels bad when you cut down trees and realise the terrain looks crap now and you can't reverse it.
Yea on one of my play through I got so far to tier 7 and 8 but when I had got there I just was completely burned out. Skipping to this would be nice to avoid that l
Jace, every single change I posted in the early days on the forum has been implemented so I am feeling the love for the community. Love ya Man, all the best in the new venture.
I love that you're aware enough of players optimizing fun away and then regretting it later, and that as a result these settings aren't available to see as default, and that you have just the right amount of friction AND that the settings aren't there to tempt you every time you pause unless you so desire
I'm happy to see a creative mode. Sometimes I want to be able to build a factory without having to repeatedly head back to base to restock supplies. With the exception of concrete, there are so many limestone nodes. I just set up a quick constructor for concrete near a new build
Yeah. CSS updates are amazing. Six weeks of hype and then a totally new version of the game to explore. Always has a midnight release feel to Update day.
For a more restrictive option to just simply have AGS as starting as open, possibly have parts locked behind main game steps? As like unlocking full creative reaching tier 7, or maybe just starting with the option to keep/drop equipment or inventory as like a tier 1 unlock. Something along those lines?
They want the game experience to be the same for Epic players, and using steam achievements or workshop would leave the Epic players out. So... prolly won't happen. Maybe it will change in the future, but this was communicated in some Twitch stream if I remember correctly.
@@Saaihead A quick Google shows Epic Games does have its own achievement system though? On their site they even say this: "Products that support achievements through other PC storefronts that sell third-party products must also support Epic Games Store achievements. The achievements available to users on the Epic Games Store must be substantially similar to those offered through other storefronts."
One idea for an alternative to "no build cost" mode: Allow us to set storage containers as "universal storage" that we can pull the resources from, so we still have to make things. Would help for all the times I go to start up a new mini factory and realize I forgot something. I do appreciate the effort that went into putting these settings in the game for people that want them. Thanks for all of your hard work
soooo glad for this! I love SF but hard drive hunting is not a fun element for me (since i've done it so many times) and this will be really nice to not have to hard drive hunt! Personally, I'd actually prefer an "in game" way to craft hard drives, but this is still far far better! I also love keeping equipment on death :D
Love these updates! These will be so useful for those of us that game as a group, and often want to restart after completing a "playthrough" or goal for the world. It will make it much easier to set up new worlds with specific settings so that we don't have to replay the "tutorial" phases over and over again, which has always been a struggle to get through, since most of us have played that content hundreds of times. It will smooth the start up when all we want to do is start fresh on a new factory together. these will let us all start at P1 or something and just get to playing rather than spending our entire first session getting through the first couple tiers. Accessibility aside (Which is still great, coffee stain cares and we love it), this change is great for smoothing out the beginning of a new group playthrough way more than i think you've given credit for. Excellent job everyone :)
Best change ever! I was sick of losing my stuff after a game crash and having to recover it out of nowhere, as well as losing hard drives in the void forever.
You could add an option for those you might not be able to resist using AGS. You could add an option do Permanently disable it (for the save) in the AGS settings. That way even if someone might be tempted, they might not be able to if they turned it off completely.
I would love to see a setting that enables that you not to change AGS setting after creating the save file. So that it is an option to make make settings once at the beginning but cant cange them later 😜
keeping items on death will be something I will always have on, and all those other settings sound awesome for a creative-mode experience. thanks again for the awesome updates!

i will never not find it incredible that a niche genre like automation is where we find this incredible group of talented, transparent, receptive and down-to-earth developers. Satisfactory is shaping up to be a masterpiece of game design and community support. Thank you Jace, Snutt and everyone else on the team for cultivating such an amazing community, helps a lot.
I second this 👏🏻❤
+1
Secret is niche. Everything niche is awesome, one vision. like movies, director's movies vs studio movies. These guys are passionate!
THIS is how you create a game WHILE also respecting your customers.
I'd love to have Time of Day as an AGS setting. Locking it to day, night, dusk or dawn would be great.
An alternative could be having day be longer than night eg dark night is 10-4 and we have a dawn/dusk period of medium lighting for a few hours
My Satisfactory is unmodded except for day/night setting. I love locking the time in at certain periods, be it perma-night (really nice when playing at night!!) or dawn/dusk and such. ^^
Especially at night when you're trying to tweak the nighttime lighting and you only have a few minutes to do so.
This is actually a great idea. I'd love a suite of tools around this idea: lock time (so its locked to whatever time you wanted) and adjust time so you could have a short night but still have pretty sunrises and sunsets, or a long night, etc.
V-Rising let's you adjust time like that. We typically set it to have fairly long 24 hour cycles (so a full 24 hours might take 20 mins) but has a very short daytime (since your more or less trapped during daytime it can get tedious if day is very long).
Settings like that always make me think of weird stuff. What would the world look like with 3-4 hour long days an 20 hour long nights? Lol. Probably way less large complex vegetation for sure.
I also wish we could reduce the speed of moons and planets in the sky. The only thing that breaks immersion for me is the speed those moons traverse the sky.
Keeping your equipment becoming the default makes me so happy
Eww..
@@hardbrocklife the fuck?
Hopefully with a can of gas too.
@@hardbrocklife what??
Yeah, I'm curious if this applies specifically to tools that are equipped or to all tools period (equipped tools and tools in general inventory).
If I'm short on equipment slots, I'll often carry additional tools with me in general inventory and swap them into a slot when needed.
Would love an ore randomizer, keeping the same counts of each and some logic for where things can go, but giving each new start a very different feel.
Honestly, an extra option for randomizing the counts would be extremely interesting, as it would push us toward different recipes.
Edit: Added to the Q&A site!
"Can we have an ore node randomizer?"
should add this to their Q&A site, this idea is genius.
a difference to this comment could be keeping the same locations of the ore but randomizing what type of ore it is
weighted so we dont get multiple uranium ores on starting locations, but this idea is great, one thing that frustrated me a bit when I moved on to my second save is that it was all the same world, and if i went to the places i knew it was the same.
Are you putting this onto the Q&A site? Otherwise I'd be eager to do it.
This is a great idea and should definitely be seen by the devs. I hope this is technically not to difficult to be implemented.
Yeah sure, imagine you start the game and theres a single coal node on your world
I really like how Coffee Stain is so open about their goals and decisions.
The cherry on top being that they have good goals and make good decisions.
Could definitely see a ‘No Fall Damage’ setting being a good advance game setting to add.
I’m pretty sure that’s in god mode
@@matg1683 Just fall damage though makes me happy. Fall damage is annoying when you're JUST a little bit too high.
As others have said, god mode, but also, you can fall once from full health without dying. As long as you don't fall again before healing completely, you should be fine
Its so sad to see you go, you were the absolute best community manager the community could have ever asked for ❤
It's so bittersweet to be this excited for the update, but sad that Jace is leaving. We love you Jace, I hope you find success.
jace has his own channel if you want to follow him and watch his progress in his own game developing!
I guess this game has a creative mode now, nice to see a official version implemented in the game
yea, basically all the things I use scim for is now official
The whole game is creative mode. There is 0 existential threat in this game.
@@hardbrocklife no. Creative mode means that you can do whatever you want with no cost or worries, like in a sandbox game, but prior to this it was simply a building game.
I'll would see a hardcore mode, where:
-monster can raid your home
-you can permanent dead
-Other players can kill you
-you dont get resource back or 50%/25% back.
This could be interested on the servers.
@@ThePrototype other player can kill you using any means nececary
I particularly love the ability to remove all the spiders in the game in this update, in my current gameplay even if they are shown as cats i am still way too scared to confront them, and i dont even dare to explore deep caves coz i know they will pop up out of nowhere and give me a heart attack. Thank god and you guys for this update!
preach🙏
Jesus Christ, you're in front of your computer.... it will not eat you alive xD
In other games - like Minecraft, for example, or Subnautica - I'll often have a Creative Mode save where I can test out designs or systems before going into a hardcore or survival world to implement them. It allows me to be more creative and daring with my builds, so I warmly welcome these options :)
exactly what i do and why i wanted these options in the game
This two save pattern is mandatory in Space Engineers IMO, though the blueprint editor in satisfactory largely serves this purpose to me. glad to see options for people who want them though - and the new keep equipment default is a VERY good change I'm happy to see come to satisfactory!
Some games have so many gameplay layers that can get overwelming really fast, like factorio. I aint touching combat in that game until I can finish the game once in peaceful.
Removing tediousness in satisfactory even by "cheating" and letting you play with the "fun" stuff is a very welcome change for me.
I play a LOT of No Man's Sky and I've enjoyed being able to toggle creative and no power modes. What I usually do is play in normal while adventuring, find the perfect spot for a build, go into creative for a few moments to build something that'll give me a basic idea of future build, then switch back to normal mode to continue adventuring. Once ready, I usually build bases in normal mode with power and everything connected normally. I love all the new options!
I have a Minecraft world that's just named "Test", which is a flat map in creative with a bunch of random things built trying to either design resource farms or just testing a bunch of things trying to find something that looks good, that would involve a lot of building and dismantling. I've also briefly done it with Factorio, when designing a large nuclear plant, because Factorio nuclear plants have to deal with heat transfer and two types of fluids, and if you partially fill in a body of water to build around, you can't undo that.
i really like the method you guys chose for ags, because it would be so bad if a person could just go into there change some stuff and go back. now it is really more like a separate branch of the game, not just a gamemode like in minecraft or even valheim
Looks like a dificulty selector. You enable per save when create or convert a existing save BUT there is no go back.
I really like this method.
It's not hard to already do the same thing with mods.. I don't see how this would be all that bad for the game...
We already know how to read the savefiles its not gonna be hard to just remove the ags flags and return to a normal savefile
@@user-to7ds6sc3p yeah, but not for an average player
So hyped for the new update! Y’all are awesome, keep up the great work!
Hypertubed ^_^
Almost everything you talked about is flipping awesome, in the usual Coffee Stain manner! And thank you again for listening to the community!
The only thing I wish was different, is that the "Disable Arachnid Creatures" wouldn't be an AGS feature. I don't want to enable it, just to get rid of the spiders. For me, even enabling Arachnophobia mode, and spiders looking like (creepy, because static) cat images, still doesn't help. In the back of my mind I still know those are spiders, "hiding" behind a cat image. I hope this makes sense to anybody not suffering from bad arachnophobia.
I'm confused. So what's your solution? Get rid of the enemies completely?
You guys are truly a shining beacon of what a game developer can be ❤
Thanks Jace, helps a lot!
I feel like a perma day setting would be useful for all the content creators out there
*cough mods .. *cough
I really like new all alternate recipes setting. First time is fun collecting them one by one, second time is so so, but after that it gets kinda annoying to explore just so you can start building specific part of your factory on a new save. So that setting is a big plus for me, for rest of them i don't think i will ever use them but it is nice to have them in the game.
In my latest game I modded in unlimited hard-drives and power shards. After so many years exploration gets tedious
I'm super excited to skip the Bioburner stage on new saves. It's the only form of "maintenance" in Satisfactory, and was only fun for me the first few times.
i think this update (like many, if not all of your updates TBF) really summarizes how benevolent you guys are as a studio in that you have a vision for the game but you are very supportive of allowing people to play the game how they want to play, which is a really cool and under utilized mindset. Props again, I sound like a broken record telling you you guys are awesome every video but you are really are a unique and special studio. cheers and best of luck onward as always
I think you did a good job juggling AGS and convenience.
I would maybe add into the red warning text something that says "Using AGS is not the intended core experience/challenge" or something like that.
Agreed, I see myself using it to skip first 2 or 3 tiers on new save to get to unlock "basic" buildings for proper factory, or avoid hours tracking down every last Hard Drive to get that one alternative receipt i just have no luck getting
It would be cool to have an option when creating a world to disable AGS so you eliminate the temptation of using cheats when playing normal
It's called not enabling them
@@keeganolsen1616 That means you have to fight temptation every time you see them (if you're struggling/game is too hard/are on the other side of the map and need some resources), whereas having the option on game start means you only have to choose once.
@@tshakah Sounds like a will power issue, not a game issue.
Agreed 100%
@@tshakahjust resist the temptation. There are more tempting things than cheating.
An interesting advanced game setting would be being able to change the purity of the ores whether that's individually done per ore or if there is a setting to change all ores or even possibly changing the purity of the whole world so it skews more towards resource rich world but still has a few impure nodes or a barren world, with a few pure oases. It would certainly make interesting playthroughs and allow even more replay ability!
Or some randomness in the ores, including purity and type.
@@Neo-vz8nh yes that would be cool
@@Neo-vz8nh yeah just generally allowing us to manipulate ores in general would be very interesting
Random Nodes gameplay would be incredibly fun for pro players to keep the game fresh and exciting. Exploration and towers would be very important. I have been playing since day 1, I have the map memorized (or re-memorized). This would force a new strategy option. I think the proportions and locations should remain the same, just the distribution randomized.
I would like to make all of them pure
How's story mode going? I was super pleased when I've discovered all the story behind the subnautica game. It gave a new motivation to explore the world and unlock all the tech. I believe it took my experience to a whole new level and I think it would be a great addition to Satisfactory. All the love to the team, keep up the masterful work!
The story will only be revealed when the game exits Early Access. This not only means we all get to experience it together but that there isn't any kind of weird change midway through that sends us sideways. If they had a storyline now, then they might have issues explaining some of the modifications to the game that have developed. It's much better to develop the functionality of the game separately and only really commit to a final story when the story is done.
Being able to unlock stuff up front is nice, but one setting I think would be useful to have would be one to carry over unlocked alternate recipes and MAM progress from a previous save (as sort of a "New Game Plus" type mode) instead of just unlocking everything. I am tentatively planning to start a fresh world with update 8, but having to go back and unlock a bunch of the alternate recipes makes me second-guess it. Presumably this would require carrying over the collected hard drive progress as well though to keep it balanced, which might be a bit trickier to do.
This is a great idea.
I like this addition, but definitely agree that its a slippery slope. It would be easy to be tempted into using it and then regret it later. The fun is in the challenge. You should add this feature. When you enable advanced game settings, jace pops up on screen for a moment, shaking his head in disappointment. To remind us that we are letting down someone we love.
I do agree with you. I do love the QoL introduced, but yes, build with no cost and no power honest screw all the fun and the challenge. For the counterpart, it's very useful for content creators.
"When you enable advanced game settings, jace pops up on screen for a moment, shaking his head in disappointment. To remind us that we are letting down someone we love." This.
What's challenging and fun for you may be different from what's challenging and fun for someone else.
I turned on arachnophobia mode on and forgot about it, got jump scared by a giant cat glitch face, and now I'm scared of both.
The disable spiders option is a lifesaver!
For some reason I'm scared of the cats as well as the spiders, idk why tho
As a person who doesn't have arachnophobia irl it's still exactly the thing what happened with me too! I was even more scared by those glitchy cats than by default spiders! So I left the spiders in the end and got used to them :D
After some time, I even fell in love with those creatures (in some slightly distorted sense of the word lol) They are still scary no doubt, but it's hard for me to imagine the game without them.
Never got the problem with spiders in this game...they are like 2 hit, dont deal much dmg, and eze to hit.
@@zombiekilla25979same. I turned the setting on without knowing what it did and when I died by a glitch face cat, I feared the cats just as much as the spiders lol
@@ParkerTyler do you also send your friends into areas that have spiders to get bauxite?
I think making you directly enable AGS on a save before you can use it is a perfect way of dealing with it. It's like having to enable cheats when you make a world in Minecraft, but a bit more flexible. The biggest thing I want to try with this is starting a new world and enabling the automatic alt recipes from the beginning, because I like the hard drives but I rarely use the alt recipes because by the time I get them, I already have my whole production line of that item set up. So this will give me a good chance to check them out.
I wish to god more developers felt that way. I frequently see both players and developers struggling with this. Too often options are taken away. It's always made little sense to me so long as those options are, well, optional.
One thing that always bothered me about arachnophobia mode was that it still dropped the spider corpses, which was still a bit on the bordering side. I think some basic cat food model could replace the item for arachnophobia mode. I also think some sounds still made it past arachnophobia mode, but im not all that sure about it, like, I think ambient stepping sounds weren't replaced.
I'm so glad you thought through the issues with making it too easily accessible -- that was exactly what I was worried about as I was hearing about all these options. I was concerned it would be too tempting to quickly turn on in-game, which I've found tends to ruin the fun. But you thought of that -- amazing! The thoughtfulness you put into the implementation is very much appreciated.
Implementing Day Night cycle mod to AGS or even just in photo mode would be awesome. It seems very non game breaking and would really help with lighting, the world, and enhancing all the fun features the game already has.
With using AGS on non-AGS saved games it could be an option where autosave ask the user if they want to overwrite the non-AGS or create a new one
Another nice feature would be to be able to set a creature damage multiplier.
Most creatures just don't feel powerful enough. So a 2x Creature damage Setting would be nice.
As I still don't know how to avoid any of their attacks, I agree
@@thientranduc-pu2nn Charger: With blade runners, jump shortly before it reaches you.
Spitter: Sidestep, and then reverse direction *after* it fires.
Stinger: Just kill it lol.
Big stinger: Just die lol.
I find the creatures are just annoying
Excited for the equipment loss change, and not having to hunt for hard drives anymore. I love that the hard drives encourage exploration, but now when I explore I can just worry about finding a new spot to build, not what jank way I'm going to try to get up to a drive. Thanks Jace, helps a lot!
nothing kills the fun like making your way to a drop pod and finding you don't have the stuff to open it.
Love the idea to make AGS a one-way action - as you say gamers will take the easy option when the going gets tough and miss out on the satisfaction (which let's face it is in the name). They will tell you that they won't, but they will, and they'll want to enable it, cheat and then disable it so they can say they achieved it for real - making it one way retains the challenge, the integrity of a real achievement and therefore the satisfaction - great job!
Speaking of achieving, if achievements are added to the game in future, they should 100% be disabled by AGS.
Option, that's the key I think. Sometimes it's just fun to play around and build the perfect factory.
Personally I always love the first play-through on a game, though find the replay value goes up when you can choose how your next session is going to be. Having this as an option is therefore in my opinion, the perfect way of doing it.
Thanks Jace, helps a lot!
thank you so much for adding this, I'm one of those creative minds and I love building and experimenting with this game. plus it allows us to build a separate save for testing purposes before we waste precious resources in our base save. I'm am totally looking forward to next weeks release of update 8, you guys rock!
The unlock all recipes mode is a blessing for us, since it takes a lot time to open them even with a detailed map.
game modes you could also add:
creative: you have everything unlocked and infinite of all the resources (for all those people who want to build a factory for the fun of it).
build: you have every thing unlocked but still have to collect the resources to build.
normal: the normal.
easy: biomass burns slower, resource nodes are more abundant and you take less damage.
hard: biomass burns faster, there are less resource nodes and you take more damage.
hardcore: same as hard just with only one life.
Some great settings for content creators. I love that the default setting for death is changing to keep your gear. Great addition!
Thank you for making these all separate options. I might actually complete a full playthrough since these address some of the big friction points I have. Thank you!
It's great to see pak utility mod basically being integrated into the game, and some more.
ye, no refund of materials on dismantle of no cost buildings is a nice qol improvement of the og mod xD
This is awesome! I can totally see myself using the no build cost option in a non-cheetey playthrough just to make dismantling large factories less of a pain.
I won't use most of them, but it's nice to know they are there.
Also it will be really nice to be able to quickly experiment in a "creative" world before making something big in your main world.
Thanks Jace. I'll use none of this, however. Even after thousands of hours, I enjoy unlocking things and using the equipment in each playthrough.
Same! But I love that they’re adding this for people who want it! Coffee Stain really are the Goat developers
This! Well said.
I really appreciate this kind of transparency and level of options, especially in a game as multifaceted as Satisfactory, and double-especially in a development process like Satisfactory's. The option to skip a few phases (basically skipping to coal so I don't have to deforest an entire zone for biofuel) is fantastic. Adding a flying toggle to the base (non-modded, anyway) game is also fantastic; I can turn it off while exploring, but for me it's essential while building big factories (the hover pack never quite clicked for me).
I think an in-game solution to avoid nights would be great
Or some night-vision goggles in the MAM.
You scared of the dark, bro?
@@whatjake7898 No its that it can be a pain to build in the dark.
+1 doesnt really "change" the game in a negative manor, just a matter of preference/qol
@@beeilve ohhh, thats a neat idea.
You made my child incredibly happy with this. We have both owned the game since the original Epic release and but he LOVES to play Sandbox mode and has been anticipating it for a very very long time and now we are finally getting it. I can now build a factory while he builds absurd contraptions without repercussion. Just know that you made a little kid smile today (as well as his big-kid father)
Just a suggestion for the Advanced Game Settings. you could make it so that players can lock them to prevent cheating in items while allowing changes like passive mode or removing spiders. That way temptation would be completely removed.
Edit: I understand that this may be kinda hard to understand what I mean. But For some people having access to cheats can be a tempting way and a quick way to ruin the fun of a game. Ultimately I understand that this may be hard to implement because the devs don't want to be dealing with people asking them how to unlock. Perhaps they could take a page from Rimworld where the Dev Options can be completely disabled but to reenable it is just a file that needs to be deleted. In the FAQ website they could have a page about it to help people because having a distance rather than an in-game option that you can change on the fly can be very tempting. Also I know that they lock you out by default but being able to change stuff like retaliate and drop no items can be helpful so having the option to lock in the change after you set it could be helpful. Ultimately I know mods can add in this feature however I see it as an accessibility feature so it should be available to everyone without having to download mods. I know that this would take time and energy to implement. But with that said this is just a suggestion.
There actually already is a passive mode in the game
I think this is a good idea too...
I know that I'd likely use the "No Power" setting anytime I have a failure somewhere... lol.
@@trevorcurrie4774 Yes I know there is but being able to lock that setting in and preventing further changes, I think is a good idea.
This
From my understanding, the settings have to be enabled when loading or starting a new game, and once they're enabled there's no way to turn them off.
This is a new level of freedom. I like the settings a lot. Perfect to customize your playstile.
The amount of thought, that goes into every feature in this game is amazing
Thanks, Jace, helps a lot! The Armadyl Godsword will be super nice for when I've got an idea bumbling around in my head, but lack the time to do it "properly"!
Nice! I think you implemented this perfectly. I for one was a little worried when I saw the options just there in the menu, tempting you at all times. I think making something like this explicitly committal is super important.
Awesome video! I really like that you put all that power of the gameplay experience into our hands, so we can experience it the way we like it the most. I played quiet a few hours now and I can say that the intended gameplay-experience is a really cool experience and I want to keep on like that. But when starting a new factory, I would not want to collect leafs and wood again. My first goal is always to get coal power plants as fast as possible, so I can automate power production. The first tier always was a little like "ugh, no biomass again for the burners. Maaan. *picks up chainsaw*"
Now, I can relax and cheat some leafs or wood for biomass burners. Love it.
I am a little sad that there is no option to "randomly shuffle" the resource nodes. That would have been great.
That's fun
Do you mean the nodes? That does sound fun haha
Yeah that could be fun.
For the metal/stone resources this should (?) be pretty easy. But the gas ones feel very handcrafted, so probably not going to work there.
@@perhapsyes2493 just move minerals and leave gas alone?...
I feel like setting inventory to "loose all" is slightly out of place. For example if you want harder experience, not only your save is marked as "cheaty" but on a server you basically enable cheats for everyone.
I guess, but keeping your equipment as default makes so much sense, so I can't even see myself ever wanting to put it back to "lose all" anymore.
It was so annoying to have to grab my backup gear to go get my other gear, just so I can go back to the hub to put the backup gear back.
I want a setting to permanently disable(not give me an option to enable it in the first place) AGS on every save on a particular world, so that i can't be even the slightly tempted to enable it.
It's been decades now that game developers tries to make a "good" creative mode. It took you guys to come along and really think about it to make it so great, clean and simple. We see the care you guys put on developing news features for the game and it shows, every single time. Thanks for the good work, can't wait to try every new things out!
We seem to get a lot of options that simply make the game a lot easier. I get it, a lot of people would like that.
Is it possible we also get somethings that make it harder, such as more monsters, harder monsters, node exhausting, ect?
When I first ran into the spiders in Satisfactory I wasn't afraid at all. Then I found the ones the size of a person, and still wasn't scared.
Then I found the ones the size of a VW van, and immediately switched the bulk of my production from space elevator tech to nuclear explosives.
Oh this is sooner than expected. I knew these were in the cards but I didn't think they'd drop until 1.0.
This includes all the settings I'd choose in SCIM for "creative mode" worlds. Great addition to the official game!
Having been there and done that in the game multiple times, i love the new ags features that let me just basically sandbox a new factory into existence. Great job Coffee Stain!
I like that you can change starting tiers. I always go into new games wanting to keep everything clean but not having enough stuff unlocked to really do it well.
Honestly a fantastic update. As someone who has played a vanilla game quite a way through, I wanted to get full freedom to build a crazy factory. This deliverers everything I want from that!
A potential idea to encourage the original game experience you could potentially have AGS as an unlockable achievement upon hitting a certain milestone (like hitting Space Elevator Stage 3). Plus you could maybe have a check in the defines for this that people could mod out if they are really bothered.
Put it in the Awesome Shop!
I think they way they have it right now is pretty good because being able to activate it on a playthrough from the beginning is really useful, and I don't see (at least for myself) using it in a world I'm currently playing through. I honnestly think they should only let it be activated when creating a new world. That way you can make a "creative" world for messing around in, and not have the temptation of cheating in a vanilla save.
@@galacticviper4453 I can see enabling AGS midgame. The later milestones are quite tough to achieve so after playing 100 hours with your savegame and you lose motivation for the last milestone why not enabling it via AGS and have fun building again?
@@seriousmike90 I guess.
Personally I would rather just rough through the milestone for the satisfaction of doing it the way the devs intended.
Just the fact that the they gave us the ability to make critters passive made game play so much better for me. I came back because of that. And the kitties too. :)
Since the beginning i just play in a selfmade "sandbox" mode (safegame editor) [no resources needed to build,everything unlocked, but still need all power and inputs] ... And 1500 hours later i still enjoy every second of this game. I really love more options ingame to make some kind of sandboxy experience! Awesome.
I think this is great for a few reasons: I have invested almost 300 hours in the game, so I'm familiar enough with the "satisfactory" part of the game where you lean back and look over your completed factory. But after having restarted the game a few times either because I felt like it, or broken saves, it starts getting a bit old to go through the different tiers, if you simply want to try out a new feature in a new update, especially considering the frequency of updates in Satisfactory.
I still love playing the game with the 'vanilla' experience, but if I simply want to play around with new stuff, this is great for that. Thanks Jace, helps a lot!
I feel like these options should be hidden behind a "X + X + Y + UP + DOWN" Combo :) , Yeah my son calls me a Dinosaur for some reason.
9:29 THANK YOU FOR THIS CHANGE! It is especially good in the early game before you have copper to make another xeno-zapper, if you lose the starter one by some fluffy-tailed hogs or something.
Had this happen on my original save, and never played the game for months until I saw some more Satisfactory content on RUclips and decided to give it another shot.
Honestly Satisfactory has become my adult train set that I could never afford.
Come to think of it Satisfactory has drop my real world productivity to.... crap how am I going to keep the lights on?
You guys are awesome, every updates feel necessary, i've known so many games in which most of the updates i was like "oh okay that doesn't change anything and they kept us waiting for a whole year to add it ?" but for satisfactory's updates i'm always surprised by new good features that really impact the game in the good way and that's awesome !
First of all dude i'm gonna miss you as the community manager but will follow you on your own chanel.
Second i love the way coffeestain is handling the development the way they do.
I myself only have 1 to 3 hours a week of gametime and stuff like flying will make this game less of a hassle for me as i don't have to fight with power points for the hoverpack.
Thank you for the extra advanced settings. It is great to have fine tuning choices and shortcuts for advanced experimentation after we have played the vanilla game through several times. Thank you! Much Luvz for all! ❤
most excited for the flight mode (sometimes its so tricky to place buildings and pipes and stuff and the lookout tower can be so cumbersome) and removing the spiders (so creepy)!
One of the mods I use has all these features, and I exclusively use it to fly so building is easier. I personally find building so frustrating just running around trying to get the right angle. SOOOOOOOO GLAD to see this getting added.
Regarding Moving through the world. I think flight mode will be good as is, but what we could really need is a map teleport for the game settings, I'd be more than happy with a loading screen, just like when respawning at the hub.
There was speculation that teleporters would be built with SAM ore, so maybe that'll come eventually?
Thank you so very much!
I absolutely understand the desire to keep the challenge in the game, but for me I get burnt out very quickly on certain days and find myself abandoning my save before I do what I wanted to do.
I would probably have a few saves at different teirs to play at the level that I'm craving in that moment, but still be able to explore everything that the game has to offer~
Thank you for being the exact type of development team that I wish to be apart of myself!
All these “AGS” settings are great news even for veteran players like me. I have plans to start a new playthrough once the game is updated to its full release. I don’t want to have to reunlock everything all over again, so these settings are a great way for me to speed up my progression and playtime.
Thanks to using mods I generally have to restart every update, so normally I end up burning out before finishing Tier 5 and 6 as I redo everything I've done before. The ability to just pick up at the Tiers I left off the previous save will be a game changer, letting me skip to building the extensive networks I enjoy building and or building a starter base quickly.
Being able to skip biomass is huge tbh. I hate playing through that every time I start a new game. Especially because I want to preserve the trees and vegetation and incorporate them into my factories too.
It feels bad when you cut down trees and realise the terrain looks crap now and you can't reverse it.
@@chickenmadness1732 Maybe they could implement a discrete way of reforestation? Replanting stuff? :)
Yea on one of my play through I got so far to tier 7 and 8 but when I had got there I just was completely burned out. Skipping to this would be nice to avoid that l
Jace, every single change I posted in the early days on the forum has been implemented so I am feeling the love for the community. Love ya Man, all the best in the new venture.
I love that you're aware enough of players optimizing fun away and then regretting it later, and that as a result these settings aren't available to see as default, and that you have just the right amount of friction AND that the settings aren't there to tempt you every time you pause unless you so desire
I'm happy to see a creative mode. Sometimes I want to be able to build a factory without having to repeatedly head back to base to restock supplies. With the exception of concrete, there are so many limestone nodes. I just set up a quick constructor for concrete near a new build
The game that just keeps on giving..
I owe so much to this game, ❤
Yeah. CSS updates are amazing. Six weeks of hype and then a totally new version of the game to explore. Always has a midnight release feel to Update day.
@@makergaming2022 ah maker you found my comment xD
For a more restrictive option to just simply have AGS as starting as open, possibly have parts locked behind main game steps? As like unlocking full creative reaching tier 7, or maybe just starting with the option to keep/drop equipment or inventory as like a tier 1 unlock. Something along those lines?
I wait for the Steam Achievemnts, I hope some are coming one day
I have to assume they have them planned for 1.0
They'll probably be the last thing added, when everything's settled.
They want the game experience to be the same for Epic players, and using steam achievements or workshop would leave the Epic players out. So... prolly won't happen. Maybe it will change in the future, but this was communicated in some Twitch stream if I remember correctly.
@@Saaihead A quick Google shows Epic Games does have its own achievement system though? On their site they even say this: "Products that support achievements through other PC storefronts that sell third-party products must also support Epic Games Store achievements. The achievements available to users on the Epic Games Store must be substantially similar to those offered through other storefronts."
One idea for an alternative to "no build cost" mode: Allow us to set storage containers as "universal storage" that we can pull the resources from, so we still have to make things. Would help for all the times I go to start up a new mini factory and realize I forgot something.
I do appreciate the effort that went into putting these settings in the game for people that want them. Thanks for all of your hard work
soooo glad for this! I love SF but hard drive hunting is not a fun element for me (since i've done it so many times) and this will be really nice to not have to hard drive hunt! Personally, I'd actually prefer an "in game" way to craft hard drives, but this is still far far better! I also love keeping equipment on death :D
Love these updates!
These will be so useful for those of us that game as a group, and often want to restart after completing a "playthrough" or goal for the world.
It will make it much easier to set up new worlds with specific settings so that we don't have to replay the "tutorial" phases over and over again, which has always been a struggle to get through, since most of us have played that content hundreds of times. It will smooth the start up when all we want to do is start fresh on a new factory together. these will let us all start at P1 or something and just get to playing rather than spending our entire first session getting through the first couple tiers.
Accessibility aside (Which is still great, coffee stain cares and we love it), this change is great for smoothing out the beginning of a new group playthrough way more than i think you've given credit for. Excellent job everyone :)
I would like to see an AGS that alows you to edit the size of you inventory because I feel like the base game max inventory size is pretty small
Just add a fly speed slider. Set the default to your "safe" setting, then let people tune it for themself.
With every update, this game keeps getting better and better. Thanks for the hard work and the dedication.
Best change ever! I was sick of losing my stuff after a game crash and having to recover it out of nowhere, as well as losing hard drives in the void forever.
You could add an option for those you might not be able to resist using AGS. You could add an option do Permanently disable it (for the save) in the AGS settings. That way even if someone might be tempted, they might not be able to if they turned it off completely.
"Ficsit brand immortal"
dang that one got me. Thanks Jace, helps a lot
Wow, Coffe Stain Studios really squeezes some serious overtime out of Jace before he leaves.
That, or some people don't burn the bridges behind em! 😅
I wound love to see a wire load on power lines and have them glow hot when they are overloaded.
Coffee Stain might be the best game studio to exist. Every update is absolutely a banger.
Love the ability to choose tier where you start, to be fair they are all pretty cool additions so thank you to you and the team.
I would love to see a setting that enables that you not to change AGS setting after creating the save file. So that it is an option to make make settings once at the beginning but cant cange them later 😜
keeping items on death will be something I will always have on, and all those other settings sound awesome for a creative-mode experience. thanks again for the awesome updates!
Doubling the stinger population setting?
“I ain’t scared of no spiders!” mode.
