 * 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.
 * SAM Ore, Mercer Spheres, and Somersloops are all story related items that will be properly implemented.<ref
 * Some items may be unlocked exclusively through the Story.

Biome changes
The following changes are planned:
 * The Red Bamboo Fields, Red Jungle, Swamp, Abyss Cliffs, Titan Forest and Desert Canyons will receive "mild to significant foliage changes" and "landscape changes that MAY impact factory"
 * Paradise Island will be removed entirely.
 * The rest of the world will only receive minor polish and half of it will have some fixes to water.

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.

"Upgrading" to Unreal Engine 5 "is not an impossibility, it is being looked into".

Obvious jokes
