Satisfactory Update 8

Satisfactory Update 8 ushers in a significant leap forward with an upgrade to Unreal Engine 5, bringing extensive reworks and system enhancements that lay a robust groundwork for upcoming features. Since its initial appearance on the Experimental branch, Coffee Stain Studios has dedicated efforts to fine-tuning the update, focusing on delivering stable and efficient gameplay. As "Satisfactory" ventures into this upgraded chapter, players are welcomed to explore the revamped vehicles and audio, refined keybinding options, the visually impressive Global Illumination lighting system, and much more. For those who thrive on power and the factories that demand it, Update 8 elevates the game's energy dynamics. Debuted in the Experimental release in June, the new Priority Power Switch is a game-changer. This ingenious, adjustable circuit breaker is designed to shut off power grids when consumption exceeds production, thus averting complete operational shutdowns. Players have the flexibility to manually set grid priorities and toggle power at any Priority Power Switch, maintaining optimal control over their industrial empire.
