    Just wanted to point one thing out - I think the video and my comments are coming across like I did all the work, but I should have done a better job saying that there's a huge team of Q&A testers that were contributing to fixes long before I started to help and I should have done a better job giving everyone credit. My mistake! Everyone working on this game has done a phenomenal job making it better and I'm really lucky to be a part of this!

      Deeepends. Coffee Stain Studios are intentionally not fixing some bugs in Satisfactory because they're in systems that will be/are being reworked. From purely a development perspective, it can make a lot of sense to wait with polish.
      On the other hand, a lot of players will buy the game around its launch into early access and then get bored of it, so they'll never benefit from changes that only pay off later. Bugs can obviously also mess with game balance, which throws testing results out of whack.

    When you claimed no crashes, I wanted to challenge that. I had a post victory save game which had become unplayable as it would crash on the same month every time. So I was sure it would still crash, but I loaded up the new patch and it doesn't!

    At this point Greg is doing the right thing. Get the core gameplay working and balanced. He is listening to feedback and tweaking what is needed.

    It's a real solid feeling that SGG is helping out on this game. Good overview.
    King's tax:
    Might have been a little OP, but I found I dealt with it, and I liked how it made me plan. IMO it now seems a little too nerfed.
    What about this: Make it family+burgage level based and aligned it with how burgages generate wealth, but start RW generation at T1. This makes it 1/3 the 07960 rate at T1 and 1:1 at T3 compared to charging by residents grouped by 3 into families.
    A T3 duplex would generate 9RW/month and be taxed 3T/year. I could see realigning RW generation to the same basis, so T1 generates 1RW per fam, going up to 3 for Tier 3.
    From memory, this might align more historically - charging by family.
    I'd also add to the difficulty setting to make the choices: 1/2 regular rate, regular rate, and 2x regular rate - to better crowd test the approach.
    Trade:
    Will be interested to see how the linear increase in trade routes feels when played.
    One approach if it feels too generous now - make it modified geometric: route cost = (some fraction: .5 or .25 for example)*(route quantity after new route)^2
    Farming:
    Also be interesting to see how it plays/feels now, especially coupled with TactiCats bender apples/veggies - corpse pit surveyed farms.
    Snap grid level - Grrrr!
    Please devs make this finer. Lots of rage-at-screen trying to put down a market stall or get a plot in right. Market stalls are the most infuriating.

      @Strat-Guides  หลายเดือนก่อน

    A note on optimizing stable spaces: Use other buildings to reserve oxen that are not close to the building you are trying to optimize first. Once the slots of those other buildings have reserved all animals that are not at an optimal distance, go to the building your are trying to optimize and set the slot reservation with the animal you intend. Then you can unassign all of the other reservations you made.

    To answer your question mr. Strat, I think the dev is on the right track, and I like the fact that You helping him, and He listening to You.
    Another thing I experienced: Let's say, for the third tier of housing you need ale. So I consider ale production and ale distribution to high tier, or "late game" possibility. BUT you can build your tavern right from the get go, if you want. It doesn't need special resources hiding behind locked content. So you are able to pre-plan your entire settlement. I love it! There are no later building, witch will be bigger, make the planning uncomfortable at best. So it's not complicated, I love it. I hope the dev will keep this logic. Because in other games is like this: new milestone, one new building, potential reconstruction of entire village, later new milestone, new building, rebuilding again... and again...
    I hope you get my point, I hope the dev will keep the current well integrated simplicity.

    Oh god some needed patch, thanks for the info. Can't wait to play again.
    But I've got some questions. So do the farms can be harvested late, or the farms automatically reset after September?
    Tbh I think farmhouse priority ala Timberborn is good, so you can choose to prioritise planting or harvesting for each farmhouse.
    Because idk why but my farms usually are not fully harvested through September and popped reset when november came while it's still being harvested.
    Idk why I did wrong, I have 9 wheat fields, 3 barley and 3 flax, 1 morgen each rotated 1 year active and 2 years fallow (basically only 3 wheat, 1 barley and 1 flax fields active in 1 year) with 5 farmhouses but it's never fully harvested. I'm really confused at this point.
    Also, wild game still kinda not worth it especially after 10+ family. Even with traps unlocked. Thought the sheep can be butchered for meat ala furthest frontier. Is there any plans for the future?
    Also why is it limited only 2 horses for trading while it can hold more household/workers?

    Holy rapid updates. And partnering with you to improve the game? One of the best things that could happen.

    This is SUCH good news! I'm excited to try this patch.
    The "Loserville" thing was annoying, and farming was a pain. I never used automated crop rotation because it just didn't work - workers would start ploughing the field they'd just picked off that was meant to rotate to fallow. And that's not even mentioning crops just vanishing after harvest.

    The speed of tee patch and the volume of items that were fixed is a very encouraging sign for the future of this game.
    Another is that Greg seems to be pretty good at implementing the feedback that should be implemented.
    Overall, the game is off to a good start. I'm going to test out this new patch now that it is out of beta.

    Holy 🙏🙏 great changes! I'm most excited for the marketplace! It's the one that would frustrate me the most and the farming is my second favorite change.
    I think focusing on these types of things first are great! It allows for people picking up the game to be able to do better I think and keep them playing, while not actually changing how "difficult" the city building is

  • @a5cent
    @a5cent หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    To answer your question...
    Yes, the dev has focused on the correct issues.
    The game does not include all the features the dev wants, but the features that are there must be usable. Essentially, for the features that exist, that encompasses three things:
    - Features that exist should work as players would expect them to (inter regional trade not feeling broken)
    - The UI doing a better job at clarifying why things don't work (like when you need and don't need a trade route)
    - Fixing bugs.
    The last category still needs work, like path finding which is often ridiculous, or ordered Oxen wandering off map and never arriving without destroying their stall.
    Balance issues are secondary as that will change entirely as features are introduced. But I understand the dev wanting the game to already be as enjoyable as possible.

    • @Strat-Guides

    I have about 10 hours in on the current test version that went up on Steam a couple of days ago.. I do like it. I have had game crashes though. I was able to replicate the crash and sent off the crash report three times (from the three crashes). The crash condition was attempting to add a vegetable garden to an odd shaped burgage plot. There was a well in the corner which was the reason for the odd shape. I had to delete the plot and rebuild it without the odd shape or it would crash each time. Minor issue, but I hope the crash reports help nail it down. Great game, best of its type I have seen in years.

    Thanks for the review. I think the DEV's priority is good. However, it would be nice to know, in game, that a new patch was installed somehow? I was playing this morning and notices some changes, but had not realized it was due to a patch. If you could suggest the DEV maybe just add a date flavor text to the patch number akin to the word "modded" that was added ... that would work and I am sure is not a big lift programming wise.

  • @McYavelli
    @McYavelli หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Very exciting, lots of good stuff! I am a bit concerned about farms de-prioritizing harvest recovery in combination with rain damage though. Any issues?

    • @Strat-Guides
      @Strat-Guides  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The way I see it - I would rather risk losing a small chunk of my crops to rain than have a guaranteed loss when the unharvested crops rotate to the next type. Yeah you might lose some sometimes, but it's not the whole crop and it's also not going to rain every year when you harvest so I feel like it's a good risk. The problem when prioritizing taking crops back is they waste so much time when they stop to walk back to the farmhouse and they end up harvesting half or even less than half (at least that's what I concluded for many hours of testing).

    Hi Strat! Thanks for the huge cooperation with the Devs!
    Could you ask them if they want to implement assigning oxens to specific buildings? I mean if you assign an oxen let's say to farmhouse. Preferably you want get assigned from the closest hitching post/stable but it's completely random and giving me headache.
    Thank you good sir!
