In one of the latest videos Jace mentions that Nanite requires fast hard drive write speeds - is this just a miscommunication somewhere (it definitely requires fast read speeds), because I don't find any other mention online of this issue, and it seems weird that a game engine would do a lot of writes to disk.

Probably, but was the context talking about playing the game, or their work doing dev? If it was dev side, this new U5 stuff does a huge amount of pre-computing during import and works with big caches. That would probably need a lot of drive performance. Otherwise, yeah: U5 docs posted:Since Nanite relies on the ability to rapidly stream mesh data from disk on demand. Solid State Drives (or SSDs) are recommended for runtime storage.

Or perhaps a special foundation that allowed power. Not sure if these are already mods, probably. My personal niche wish list is if you could set a blueprint to go off a wildcard so if I make a modular smelter block I only need 1 blueprint and don't have to run and update 16 smelters output directly. Or even just having a mass-change option when in the blueprint editor so I can quickly knock out different versions by just choosing different options/colors.

I'd love there to be energy management. It'd piss off tons of players tho, because it'd practically break every factory file existing.

Finally the liquid biofuel section of my warehouse will have a use. Certainly more use than fueling the dune buggy I never drive.

Solid and liquid biofuel in the jetpack means you can have one from nearly game start if you can find Johnny Jetpack. Fart rock destruction is nice I guess, kinda sad they didn't come up with something more interesting / unique. Fart rocks are basically spore flowers now. Good, but also meh. I really want a small-radius nobelisk now. I'm betting that whole 1st person trace thing is the unreal default and corrects for a gun being offset from the "eyes". So guns will aim a bit low now.

One of the comments on the coffee stain video suggested fart rocks could be used to make (liquid?) biofuel and I have to say, it's a nice way of making biofuel an automated product and keeping it important longer into the game. It's probably not an option now that players can literally destroy the "resource nodes" now, though.

Stoked about the zip line rework. I always liked them in theory but they are really clunky and the jetpack rules.

In case anyone is curious, but not curious enough to watch both clips; Jace is leaving his post as one of the community manager for Satisfactory because he wants to try to make his own games instead of working on someone else's game. Big step, but sounds like a healthy choice, and I wish him well.

Has something changed with the games graphics recently? I've got over 500 hours in the game, absolutely no problems with motion sickness. Could bounce around with the jetpack, slide everywhere, fling myself through hypertubes, whatever. Now I play the game for 15 minutes and I feel extremely gross. I'm not generally prone to motion sickness, but there are a couple of games that reliably cause it. Wolfenstein 3d for instance. I'm just confused because Satisfactory never caused me the slightest problem before.

I got hit by the motion sickness the last time I loaded it up a few months back too, I have no idea why. Perhaps it's just a getting old thing? The last game to give me that was "The Witness" which I had to stop playing as going from puzzle to puzzle just made me too queasy.

There's something that causes nasty framerate drops in menus, inconsistently. From people on reddit you can switch to DX11 to cure it. But then you're on DX11 and general performance is a bit worse, and it doesn't look as good. Alternately I feel like if I'm getting the menu bug and general stutter just restarting the game will cure it. Kinda dice roll though. All of their tech people have been all hands on dick with the Unreal upgrade so bugs are going unfixed. NoEyedSquareGuy posted:The lighting has changed a bit over the last few years but other than that it hasn't undergone any major graphical upheavals. In particular in one of the recent updates the lights tech got split into two paths -- low and medium light quality is the same as when lights were first released, high and ultra use a more intense system. So if your performance is taking a dump when all the lights switch on at night, change it to medium.

What's strange is that I had played a bunch after the last major update, no problems at all. I don't remember changing any settings either. It's just very strange. Good point about the FOV. I'll try messing around with that and see how it goes. Maybe the default got messed around or something.

euphronius posted:Extremely low content release, besides the Unreal changes. The Satisfactory devs are separate from the teams making other Coffee Stain games, they seem to be entirely focused on Satisfactory from what I can glean from dev logs. Long-reach power lines and priority switches are nice but not all that game changing, the engine update sounds like it caused a lot of problems and they had to spend most of the time sorting that out instead of working on actual game stuff. Still a possibility of new features they're keeping hidden until the actual release like when they kept drones under wraps. I'm always hoping for the next stage of production with quantum crystals and all the other unreleased materials but it doesn't look like that's coming with this update.

The tech team doing the UE5 upgrade is probably also separate from the content team, which is probably working on 85% story mode and 15% bonus gameplay features by now.

getting able to build stuff in space like spaceships, an orbital ring and eventually dyson sphere or other giant megastructures would be really cool. The interface is different enough from dyson sphere project so I don't think there would be a big issue of overlap

euphronius posted:Extremely low content release, besides the Unreal changes. The smart power switches are pretty cool, I was kinda  at first but the more I think about them the more of a big deal I think they are.Using them intelligently means you can ride the edge of your power output with confidence. Batteries alone couldn't really do that, they are just a softer edge than instant outages. But smarter load shedding gives you a bunch of interesting options. Basically, you never have to interrupt something else to build more power.
