Story

 * SAM Ore, Mercer Spheres, and Somersloops are all story related items that will be properly implemented and changed in later updates.<ref
 * Satisfactory will have story content (which is fully written and being prototyped), but it is not expected to be released until 1.0.
 * The story was written by Hannah Beuger.
 * Some items may be unlocked exclusively through the Story.

Biome changes
The following changes are planned after Update 5:
 * The Spire Coast biome will be completely reworked as a new biome. It was later confirmed this is planned before 1.0, and spans the Desert Canyons biome as well.
 * The changes to the Spire Coast are sufficiently extensive (having been deleted and restarted from scratch), the current advice if you have a factory in this biome is to "move your stuff out of there- just move it".
 * It has been confirmed that the resource nodes will be changed, although not *which* resource nodes, nor whether existing saves' miners/extractors will stop working (if one uses a save editor to move a placed miner, the miner will continue to work).
 * The Red Jungle, Swamp, Abyss Cliffs, Titan Forest and Desert Canyons will receive "mild to significant foliage changes" and "landscape changes that MAY impact factory"
 * The rest of the world will only receive minor polish

There will not be a snow biome in the game.

Unspecified
Coffee Stain are looking into revamping the tutorial and very beginning of the game to provide a much easier entry into the game, and to bring in more people to the game and not scare them. They specifically asked for the community to provide them with ideas and their own thoughts on how this could be accomplished in the future.

The main issue with only one type of fuel being possible with equipment (i.e. the Jetpack can only use Packaged Fuel) is because of an issue with the UI and the engine. They cannot create an efficient way for the game to select which fuel type at which time in your inventory for the Jetpack to use. Snutt has confirmed that it will be in the game eventually.
