Patch v1.1.1.7 Overview
Coffee Stain Studios has released patch v1.1.1.7 for Satisfactory, bringing significant performance improvements and Steam Deck optimizations. The update marks the transition of the spline collision refactor from Experimental to stable status while addressing several platform-specific issues.
Key Performance Improvements
The most substantial change involves the refactored spline collision system, which now affects conveyor belts, pipelines, and hypertubes. This technical overhaul delivers measurable RAM usage reductions in large save files, particularly benefiting players with extensive factory networks. The optimization should result in smoother gameplay during late-game sessions where complex infrastructure typically strains system resources.
Steam Deck Enhancements
Significant attention has been given to the Steam Deck experience with this patch. Developers have implemented first-time user experience improvements including better font sizing and UI scaling defaults. The update introduces dedicated graphical presets specifically for Steam Deck, offering Quality and Performance modes similar to console versions while maintaining manual customization options.
Interface adjustments include changing the confirm button to X within the Server Manager menu to prevent soft locks during virtual keyboard text input. Additional fixes resolve saving issues with custom game names and address problems with conveyor belt item frequency and render distance settings in the video options menu.
Bug Fix Resolution
Visual issues have been corrected, including nighttime sky flickering around the Northern Forest region. The patch also ensures that conveyor belt configuration options now function properly within the video settings menu, providing players with reliable control over their visual experience.
This update follows the recent console release of Satisfactory on PS5 and Xbox platforms, demonstrating continued support across all available systems. Players experiencing issues are encouraged to report them through the official QA site at questions.satisfactorygame.com where developer teams regularly review feedback.
