Patch Notes
Patch Notes: Early Access - v0.3.7.0 – Build 138299
The Conveyor Belt networking rework is now live on Early Access. But, as you probably have already noticed, that is not the only thing changing today. We added some seasonal event content for you to explore December through January!
While we could not push a big update before the end of this year, we still wanted to give you something new over the holidays. So, we spent a little bit of time on this FICSIT themed event. What exactly we have changed and added you will have to find for yourself over the course of December, but we really hope you all will enjoy it! And if you don’t, you can simply turn the event off in the gameplay options from the main menu.
There is some additional stuff in this patch as well that we added previously on Experimental, such as translation updates, some bug fixes and some optimizations. You can find all the details in the patch notes below.
Hope you all are having a great time and will enjoy the event <3 Merry FICS*MAS!

Hi Pioneers!
Thank you all for submitting your crash reports and for your posts over at our QA site, we are aware of the new crashes that have surfaced and in today’s patch we are including some more tools for us so we can fix these new issues more efficiently and bring a better experience to everybody as soon as possible.
If you are still experiencing issues please let us know in our QA site at: https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/ and keep sending your crash reports so we can fix them.
We have also included two new FOV options that should be of extra interest to players with ultrawide monitors, you can find them under Options > Video, please let us know what you think about them.
And lastly we have included a new console command so we can get even more debug info which we need in some cases, the command is “ToggleDebugOverlay” and to use the console it must be enabled by pressing CTRL+Shift+L and using the “§” key to bring it up.
Hope you all have a great weekend, there’s more updates to come, see you next time and thanks for playing!
