What'south next forSatisfactory?

I think it'due south rubber to say that Update 4 is going to satisfy players for the time being. Information technology'southhugeand there's plenty in there to keep u.s.a. busy for quite a while. Despite that, players are always wanting more. Update four has been highly anticipated ever since Update 3, so you can expect people wanting Update 5 soon.

That said, as mentioned above, information technology'southward been over a year between Update iii and 4 and so nosotros aren't going to see v for quite some time.

Have something to tell us nigh this commodity?
