Satisfactory Update 1.2 Brings Rain, Fuel Trucks, and Overhaul, but Steam Deck Users Beware

One year's a long time. Fans are ecstatic. Satisfactory's Update 1.2 is a massive overhaul, bringing back rain, introducing fuel trucks, and reshaping the game's core mechanics in ways that'll significantly impact gameplay and performance, especially for Steam Deck users who might want to exercise caution.

It's been a while. We've had to wait almost a year for new stuff. That said, the last update, Version 1.1, dropped twelve months ago. You'll get some cool new things in Update 1.2, for sure. They've brought back rain, which is a big deal. So this time, it's not just rain - we're talking wet buildings, characters, the whole deal. Coffee Stain says they've fixed a lot of the visual issues, like clipping through structures, and most buildings will now block your view, making it look way more realistic inside your factory. That's key, as it means less distractions, and a more immersive experience, which is what you want, right?

1.2's Biggest Missed Opportunity

You'll see fluid stations now. They're useful. In Satisfactory Update 1.2, fluid trucks are also available, giving players the option to ditch pipes for liquid transport, which is pretty handy. It's coupled with a remade vehicle pathing system, allowing for bespoke route planning, kinda like when you're building railways, which should help with logistics and reduce congestion in busy factories, for a more streamlined experience overall.

Other notable inclusions are:

• a selfie mode for the enhanced photo capabilities
• a buildable Portaloo that serves as a spawn point adding a touch of humor and convenience
• a T-junction piece for more flexible pipeline routing
• a crossbeam for expanded building options

It's a key update. We've got Satisfactory Update 1.2 now. You'll see rain, fuel trucks, and a major overhaul. The real feel is there. For fans, it's worth mentioning that Steam Deck users need to be careful with this one, we've seen some issues.

You'll notice the rain. It's nice. The real feel of weather in Satisfactory Update 1.2 is worth mentioning, with fuel trucks and an overhaul, for fans of the game. They've added a lot, we've seen it. In Satisfactory, it's key to have honesty about performance, especially on the Steam Deck, where the new rain system causes slowdowns, so you'll want to adjust or disable it, with the option to do so, to play smoothly, it's a good thing they've given us that.
