Coffee Stain Studios announced that Satisfactory's major update 1.2 will release June 2 for PC and consoles. The update includes a rebuilt autonomous driving system, a new daisy-chaining power research, a respawn toilet, improved weather with lightning, and game mode customization options.
The rain system now applies wetness effects to buildings and the pioneer suit, adds wind and fog, multiple rainfall variations, and lightning. The autonomous driving route system was rebuilt from the ground up to work more like railway pathing. A new research tree for daisy chaining lets buildings connect directly to transmit power, removing the need for separate power poles in many layouts.
The SPWN toilet lets players set any location as their spawn point. A game mode feature allows free adjustment of delivery cost multipliers and resource node randomization. Photo mode and many quality-of-life improvements are also included. The update arrives June 2 local time on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
