Your feedback remains invaluable to us. If you notice any improvements or encounter new issues, please report them over at our QA Site. Your detailed reports help us keep the game running smoothly.
If you are curious about the 1.2 Experimental build and want to dive in, you can find the instructions below. Please remember to BACKUP YOUR SAVES before making the switch to ensure your hard-earned progress remains safe.
To back up your saves and blueprints, simply copy these folders:

%LocalAppData%\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames\blueprints
How to access the Experimental version:
- Steam: Right-click Satisfactory in your library, select Properties > Game Versions & Betas, and choose experimental. The update will download automatically once you close the menu.
