Greetings, Pioneers!
We are rolling out a minor but essential hotfix for the current Experimental branch. While this update does not introduce major features, it optimizes our internal crash-reporting pipeline. These improvements will allow our team to better analyze and resolve technical issues moving forward.
If you are planning to test the Experimental build, please remember to backup your save files to prevent any potential loss of progress.

How to Access the Experimental Version
On Steam:
Right-click Satisfactory in your Library > Properties > Betas > Select “experimental” from the Beta Participation dropdown. The update will begin downloading once you exit the menu.
On Epic Games Store:
Search your Library for “Satisfactory Experimental” and install it. This is a standalone entry and must be downloaded separately from the main game.
If you encounter any bugs or technical hiccups, please report them on our official QA Site. Your detailed feedback is instrumental to our progress, and we monitor your submissions daily.
Thank you for your continued support and for helping us refine this Experimental phase. See you in the foliage!
