It’s been a long, dry year since Satisfactory<\/a> last received a major update. Version 1.1<\/a> of Coffee Stain’s hugely popular factory sim launched almost exactly twelve months ago, bringing proper controller support, an improved photo mode, better resource transportation, and more. Yet outside of a few hotfixes, that’s been it for fans of building enormously convoluted assembly lines.<\/p>\n

Now though, Coffee Stain is back. Update 1.2<\/a> is even more substantial than 1.1, adding one major new feature, one major returning <\/em>feature, and a massive overhaul to an existing system.<\/p>\n

The headline addition is rain, which was already added to Satisfactory once with Update 6 during early access. However, Coffee Stain has folded in a new, more advanced rain system that will now give buildings and characters a proper wet look. According to Coffee Stain, rain will also be occluded by “most” buildings, meaning you should see effects clipping through your factory walls and ceilings far less often.<\/p>\n
