Satisfactory reveals first expansion, Core Values

Satisfactory’s developer, Coffee Stain Studios, announced Core Values, the game's first expansion. Instead of just adding new items, Core Values sends players underground to tackle fresh automation and exploration challenges, using bulkier machinery and different tools. Above-ground factories remain key, but you can’t simply plug in existing workflows—the expansion is designed to force new approaches. There's no release date yet, but it's coming to all major PC and current-gen consoles.

• Expansion focuses on underground tunnels and caves
• Gameplay introduces new automation and transport tools
• Underground areas require different strategies than base game
• Machinery in the expansion is larger and more rugged
• Release date still unannounced; all platforms confirmed
