Answering SATISFACTORY Questions!

[Snutt]

Hey folks! Thanks for all the questions y'all posted the other day! Here's the video responding to some of them!

I wasn't able to ask a question, because you didn't post on steam originally. :(

[Doc✪Hollywood]

Thank you for the video.

• Are the questions also from the Steam Discussion Board - Are you guys reading our discussions here? I ask that to know if it is enough when we write our questions, concerns, good ideas and wishes here on Steam - or do we need to come to your Q&A website? I think that is a very important point to clarify.
  
  
• One other very important point is that I would like to know if there is a official guide for all the hidden tools and shortcuts. The game has no tutorial and there are so many shortcuts and aids in the game (which is absolutely great) but they are nowhere mentioned in the game. By chance I found a short video with 40 tips and all 40 I didn't know after 400 hours of playing. it was exceptionally on youtube but generally I avoid it as much as possible because people there disclose far too much and spoil. I want to see and find out things myself. That is the reason why I ask for a official guide with CSS approval so that I just learn the hidden tools the game offers - but not more, no solutions, no spoilers, etc.
  
  
• I would like to give a feedback to the Mercer Spheres and Summersloop you mention:
  
  Though I really love Satisfactory I find these aliens very obtrusive. It's probably the most nerving point right after the rock-hard restriction to 250 map markers - which makes me very sad when I have to delete my very carefully and thoughfully and accuratley placed ap markers in order to make place for new ones. This is hurting a lot !!
  
  CSS other (or former) community manger said that Satisfactory is designed that the world is not imposing on players so that players can choose what they do in their own speed. True this with exception of these aliens:
  
  They are so loud that I have to turn down every time my loudspeakers to not wake up my neighbors. Practically I am forced to collect them to silence the over and over repeated unlogical messages of "I strongly advice to collect me"(?) ... "world presidents says".

Keep up the good work and thanx again for the video

There was a pinned AMA thread here on the forums. In case you missed it, no worries, there will probably be another QA video some time in the future, I assume.

DocHollywood, your first point is clarified already in our pinned posts. TL;DR: Suggestions, bugs and other error reports should be submitted on the QA site. And yes, Snutt reads (or at least skims over) the forums. I read it too and can forward if needed. Normal questions can usually be answered by the helpful community.

There is no official guide, but there is an official wiki. Also, you can find lots of guides directly on Steam (guides section in this game hub).

Somersloops and Mercer Spheres will get a purpose in the future. They are WIP.

I can TLDW this video without watching it. Every answer to questions about their roadmap/content will be some variation of:

"We'd like to do that but not sure if we have time. Maybe we'll do it later but we don't know yet."

"Sounds like a good idea. We haven't thought of that. Go suggest it on our QA site."

Did anyone watch the video? Is my prediction accurate?

I wish for a thorough official guide or tutorial for all the many many hidden key and mouse shortcuts and tools in Satisfactory. In my understanding a Wiki is an enzyklopedia which therefore reveals and spoils everything. NOT really a substitution for a tutorial/guide.

I completely missed that I'll go there to educate myself but surely hope that there are no spoilers too (and not sure about that).

==> Just make the aliens less loud. There is no reason to wait with that till 1.0.

And it would be really outstanding if you remove that mean map marker restriction. That would make me most happy.

Thank you.

I really hope that we get some curved foundations and walls!

Sadly none of my questions were answered, probably has to do with my game name, but let's hope for more Q&A videos. Snutt said there are a lot, probably most get answered when game is on 1.0, so some answers may just linger until then. But why answer the same questions over and over, like the base defense, and so on? And best answer is just a yes or no, will do (e.g. after release, but not before), or we do not. Some answers were again so that players will keep asking about it because they are not clear.

Answered right at the start of the QA video.

Wut about a new map tho?

@Snutt @Munin. Thank you for answering one of my questions!

The video answered the "snow biome when" question with "no plans currently, maybe after v1". I would assume an entire new map would fall into the same category.

Did you guys notice that he answered any of the questions, problems or wishes here from the Steam forum? I have the feeling all these topics he answered were not from here ...

right or wrong?

and the second guy just dismissed eveything I asked for.

I have the feeling we Steam players do not really matter. And then you heared him: We should go to Twitter. Sorry, the players are here!

They did answer some questions from Steam.
Munin posted and stickied an AMA thread soliciting questions. I asked this question: https://steamcommunity.com/app/526870/discussions/0/3875967149491805527/#c3874841497807428296
And it was answered at 19:03 (Steam's auto-embed of YouTube links breaks timestamp linking so I can'tlink you right to it) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lK-kN8QOrJw&t=1143s

They took questions from Reddit, Twitter, and Discord in addition to Steam, so it's no surprise that in a 30 min video there weren't many from Steam

Yes, but that was their sticky.

I think they did not answer or reffering to anything that was written in all the other discussion from us (the non-sticky ones). I can't tell for sure,I'm no psychic, but I have the feeling they are not with us. Though - but that's just a guess - most of their players are Steam players.
