Devs are in early talks about future updates / expansions.

[SomethingCoolBro]

Reading between the lines, after what was said at the Coffee Stain "Spill" event, the success of 1.0 has pretty much guaranteed further development on Satisfactory.

1) This means a revamp of Ficsmas this year (new art, assets, things to collect and a couple of "surprises")

2) A hint of a 1.1 patch in 2025... sometime.

3) And internal discussions of an "expansion", although nothing was decided yet. They briefly mentioned the possibilities; a new biome attached to the map, or a new map entirely - possibly underground.

I think it makes more sense for them to have some kind of paid expansion, but maybe they'll just keep updating the game with free updates, No Man's Sky style.

I think this game is a classic in PC gaming and I hope we see more of it. 1.0 is a finished product, but I hope the game gets expansions for years to come.

Hopefully before then, they'll fix whatever bug is suddenly preventing the entry and exit routes from the train station platforms at my aluminum parts factory from working after many hours of clean operation.

Trains aren't bugged, but problems can be difficult to diagnose.

Signal problems can manifest when you add more trains to the network, if you're just using block signals, things can clog up. You'll need to add path signals at each entrance, and block signals at each exit.

Sometimes track can be badly placed too.

QoL is my vote.

Theres already the ability to bottle gasses in game so it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to add bottled oxygen and diving fin leg equipment.

I'd be down for an aquatic expansion, not just below sea, but above as well - giant oil rigs, wind / hydro-power farms, ships, underwater bases, etc.

Maybe in 5 years for now, just wait.

Sounds like a deadlock issue. Double check your signals and when they aren't working, Find a blocked train, then find the next and see if they are both blocking each other.

The blocked train was sitting at the station in front a yellow block signal into an empty junction that had worked for many hours with the exact same configuration. No changes had been done to this entire facility. It just suddenly stopped working, as though the track as simply decided to stop being connected anymore. Not that it helped, but I don't make changes to functioning factories because this is the sort of thing that can happen.

Game's been out for about a month. I'm presuming a more substantive bug fixing update is on the way. If it comes and fixes the bug, I may pick the game back up again. But I'm not going to try and engineer around a bug. Not in this game.

Definitely willing to pay for a DLC. Underground sounds cool. Personally I think the ability to dig/terraform would be cool.

[Freak4Leeks]

I don't want a separate map I would prefer to further increase the size of the existing world, if it's a new map it will be smaller and making a mega factory is like the coolest part of satisfactory.

[MetalSpaceDust]

Underground on the current map would be cool.

[Watchi57]

There is no question for me i´m willing to pay for a DLC . To be careful "Why 1.0 ?"

[[GWJ] Puce Moose]

I'd definitely love to see an underwater expansion (hopefully fewer spiders) - we have some pretty advanced life on land on the planet, so it stands to reason that there should be comparable life in the water bodies. Fish, coral, seaweeds, sharks (for new biological hazards), etc. I wouldn't expect something on the complexity scale of Subnautica, but a bit more attention to the water and its life forms and resources would be great.

An underground map would be epic. Instant buy for me

[Zak]

Happy to hear that the game was successful. Still lots of bugs to fix but future expansion is indeed certain at this point. I'll buy any DLC except anything that involves underwater or underground activities. That's an absolute no-buy for me. I like wide, open space :) Winter or lava biomes would be fine or even something in space perhaps, like one of the other planets or something in orbit.

Though I'll probably stop playing by the time it comes out, 1400 hours and I feel a burnout coming... but then DLC might be a good reason to return to the game after a while.

Congrats and good luck CSS.

Underground, like moles.... much better then 'only night'.... no light at all (at least I hope)
