Trivia / Satisfactory

• Approval of God: A screenshot of the intentionally-insane factory built by Let's Game It Out is prominently displayed on the game's official Steam page. Josh, the person behind Let's Game It Out, would later cameo as the voice of "God" in the Update 5 release trailer.
• Ascended Meme:
  • After Jayce and Snutt did a finger guns gesture on a developers' stream, a community petition was opened to have that gesture be added to the in-game emotes. This emote was officially added as a reward from the FICSmas 2021 Christmas event.
• Schedule Slip: The 'end of June' update was released towards the end of the first week of July.
  • The next promised update was supposed to be on September 2019. It was delayed to December 2019. Then it was further delayed with no new release date announced... until February 11 2020, when it was released on Experimental, followed by its push to Early Access on March 11.
    *in a 'Patch Notes adventure' for Update 3, which was recorded in September*
    Jace: We had to go on this adventure back in September, and this video is probably coming out in December—
    Snutt: *editing the video in March* HA!
  • In a very minor case that crosses over with Trolling Creator, Update 3.6 (the 'Fluids update') was delayed by about five minutes as Jace scrambled about on-stream trying to notch coal power in his NoDismantle% run.
• Synthetic Voice Actor: After all the speculation about the voice of ADA, Jace has revealed that ADA is basically Google Text-To-Speech WaveNet C.
• Trolling Creator: As you might expect from the studio that produced Goat Simulator. Currently this is best exemplified by the Update 3 reveal stream; most of which consisted of Jace and Snutt, the community managers, sitting in a cinema playing random other games that were not Satisfactory, followed by a countdown, a distortion cut to a Rickroll, followed by a fake Youtube end-of-stream screen before the actual Update 3 trailer played.
  • The entire pipe dilemma is also the result of trolling of epic proportions by CSS. They dropped hints since Early Alpha that there will be pipes, but then kept flip-flopping between denying that there will ever be pipes and hinting that pipes may be added in the future when asked. Come Early Access Update 3 (which was delayed almost 6 months), pipes finally made its way to the game, but not before the above mentioned update 3 reveal stream trolling. The entire CSS team eventually revealed in an interview that the reason for the denial was because they were initially unsure of how to implement pipes and rebalance the game to work with it and didn't want to disappoint the early access backers, and it took them a while to come up with the solution seen in the game today.
  • An issue in post-Update 3 Satisfactory was that coal was improperly capitalized in the resource scanner, being all lower-case, as opposed to all other resources being properly capitalized. This was... 'fixed':
    • Version 0.3.6.1: "Fixed the capitalization of coal in the Resource Scanner." It had been changed to say "cOAL".
    • Version 0.3.6.3: "Actually fixed the capitalization for Coal in the Resource Scanner." Coal was now properly capitalized. Everything else wasn't.◊
    • Version 0.3.6.4 finally fixed the capitalization for real, but kept the previous one as an Easter Egg: you now have a small random chance of getting random capitalization when you open the Resource Scanner's options, with the random capitalization happening all the time on April Fools' Day unless Holiday Events are disabled.
  • Following Update 3, They also trolled about drones (another heavily requested feature) in an interview, with the same flip-flopping of answers when asked to clarify. Sure enough, Drones dropped with Update 4 in March 2021.
  • Before Update 4 dropped, the last few videos prior to the release kept warning pioneers to not go forward with Aluminum production, warning that there will be big changes to the process that will wreak havoc on any working aluminum factory. Come Update 4, the only fix pioneers have to do is to reset their aluminum scrap production refineries- everything still works untouched, assuming that the alt aluminum scrap recipes have been unlocked and both recipes are being used. However, they were not kidding about supercomputer, radio control unit, turbo motor and battery production also being wrecked by changes, although the latter can also be fixed by just unlocking an alternate recipe (aptly named "Classic Battery") and resetting the manufacturer.
  • For a while prior to Update 5, a community-requested feature that had been gaining a lot of traction was the ability to play golf in the game (which started with a post by Snutt asking fans to post to the Q&A site if they want to see it happen). To reference this, the Update 5 Patch Notes video was edited around Jace and Snutt at a golf course. At first, Jace flat out said Hahaha No where it came to golf, but then Snutt put forth a wager - if he won, they would add golf. Jace winning would release dedicated servers (which were possibly the only more requested feature, but considered a forbidden meme due to how hard they were to implement). Cue Snutt racking up a hefty lead throughout the course... right up until the last hole, where he fluffed over seventy shots and eventually lost due to a lizard doggo sneezing Jace's ball into the hole. To add insult to injury, the last clip of the video showed the Q&A site, going on to the request in question and setting it to 'rejected'.^note However, by now fans are wise to their trolling antics, and are holding on to the hope that the game will at least drop a putting executive toy in a future update
  • Also related to update 5, they noted that the Northern Forest biome will be reworked for that update, but only factories in the Northern Forest will be affected. People who logged in upon Update 5's launch found all the flora regrown, even in factories in different biomes. How much of this is a bug and how much of this is intentional trolling remains to be seen, but thankfully this is a quick fix involving chainsaws and explosives.
  • Players pointed out that despite having two seats, the Explorer vehicle could only carry one player. As a later part of Update 6, Coffee Stain fixed this... by taking out the second seat.
  • Snutt started the 2024 roadmap video listing out the release window plans for updates 9, 10 and 11, hyping each of them in turn, and even implying that they were going to give in to the group of fans who want the tower defense aspect of Factorio by adding more guns and lasers... before rewinding to the start of the video to tell everyone that there wouldn't be any more Early Access updates and that the next update would be the 1.0 release of the game.
• What Could Have Been: The lizard doggos were originally called space rabbits and their internal naming structure still refers to them as such. However eventually they were made to behave even more dog-like because the fandom began referring to them as "lizard doggos" and CSS just went with the flow.
