How is this game still early access ?

I've seen people on youtube play this game for several years ..

yet its still early access ?

[Fenix]

Game development takes time, lots of time.

[XistenZ]

It means it's been a fully playable game for years, but not finished.

[simonhobnob]

It's not done yet?

SAM ore, alien artifacts, story... etc etc. All are still WIP. So, we get the factory building game that's pretty solid. Just not finished yet.

[curtyuiop]

It is because it isn't finished yet.

What a lame video the roadmap to 1.0 is. Do you think Snut just wastes the first half of the video with bs just so the channel can make money?

Is there any rule carved in stone, how long an early access takes? See... ;-)

Besides that, you can play this game for many many hours and have fun. Even more to do, when using mods.

[Wolfgang]

And it is fully playable.

Diablo 4 releases in unfinished state where even MAIN STAT OF CHARACTER DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY.
People like TS -WOW SO COOL RELEASED GAME YAAAAY. 0 Good features 0 replayability 0 end game conent WOOOOW RELEASE SO COOL YAAAY.
Cofestain keeps game in EA because they think game is not finished and they want to make a better game while still allowing you to play full game with tons of content to do.
People like TS - Wow game still in ea? It was like this years. Kek lol mad bad game lol seen on youtube still not released lol kek.

Epic also made Fortnite. We don't expect they will ever move from early access, if they are raking in money from micro-transactions. What company would, right? Free money from brainless people buying their garbage. Never used to take game developers years to create a final product before. (Diablo, WoW, EVE, Starcraft....cough cough) Get your act together developers and release a game, already. Geez!

Yes they did, you absolute ignoramus. They just didn't tell anyone about the games they were working on until they were almost done. If this game wasn't in early access, then it might not even be announced yet.

What are you smoking? Most of the larger games in the past (the 90s) took 2 to 3 years to make... the smaller/simpler the game the shorter the Dev time.
The OG Diablo took like almost 2 years to make and that is a simple (but excellence) Point and click Action RPG....
Satisfactory dwarfs that in complexity 100 fold... You need a reality check.

is there a rough estimate of when the game will be finished?
this year? 2025?
anybody got info?

No, And most of us who are enjoying the game as is don’t really care. (Yes I know I can’t speak for everyone, but I generally think this is true.)
I just want multiplayer bugs fixed asap, and vertical nudge on blueprints the most.

[Serious]

They recently upgrad to UE5. and you ask when they released 1.0^^
Pretty much everyhting related to the physics needs to be redone.
Lumen is difficult to implement.
There are numerous bugs in multiplayer.
Not even the map is finished.
I would say a release in 2024/25 is unlikely
Probaby we get 0.9 end of 24, start 25, and the full game someday 26.

But as others already said.... this is not important for many satsifactory players.
And technically it's not important at all.
It's just a number. They could release the current version as 1.0 and... ?
It would be fully released but buggy and with many ideas left behind.

What type of EA do you prefer? The ARK style EA or the Subnautica style EA ;-)

[NeoJ4K3]

Because it isn't done. i don't care if it stays in early access for 10 years, why does early access status matter?
