For engineers testing the latest builds of Satisfactory, this patch is a significant quality-of-life win. The most important fix addresses several scenarios where player actions became completely blocked, effectively soft-locking your ability to interact with the world. If you've found yourself unable to build or move after specific UI interactions, this update is meant for you.
Beyond the critical bug fixes, Coffee Stain has introduced a clever accessibility feature: the "Remember Snapping Toggle." This allows the game to retain your last used snap mode across different menu sessions, saving you from the constant micro-management of re-enabling your preferred building alignment every time you open a build menu.
Other notable fixes in this hotfix include:
- Resolved an issue where custom colors wouldn't save in the Customizer.
- Fixed a bug where God Mode would unexpectedly disable after exiting Photo Mode.
- Corrected various UI inconsistencies in the Experimental branch.
As always with the Experimental branch, the developers recommend backing up your save files before diving in. You can access this version via the Beta tab on Steam or the Manage menu on the Epic Games Store. While these updates can be less stable than the Early Access branch, they are essential for testing the heavy-duty automation features coming to the main game.
