My favourite feature is the decreased framerate

[aedanmc]

after spending 400 hours plus on the game i feel the fact that i can without limitation build the most insane builds with the creative mode stuff is really exiting

[wreryn]

Expected favorite feature: new jet pack fuel. Hilariously regular packaged fuel still might be the standard favorite since it also got a boost. But boy howdy is the bio fuel just lasts and lasts. Favorite unexpected features: New sounds!! From the clink of metal legs on platforms to rocket running out of fuel sputtering, more detailed & nuanced soundscapes too!

Gas pillars being able to be destroyed is the finest thing added this update alongside engine ofc.

I'm most excited about the priority switch for the electricity grid. Having a backup plan organized around which part of the factory to shut down and activate certain power supplies feels like an awesome thing to me, and I can't wait to test the power poles

For me, auto-unlocking alternate recipes is everything. No longer do I have to edit my save so that I can build without as much worry of things being stupidly inefficient.

[mustangcody]

Unlock all in Awesome shop has to be my favorite. I love decorating builds after I build them but can never find the motivation to go back and decorate old builds because I didn't have the awesome tickets at the time.

[rhulkdiscipleofthewitness]

Can't wait for Josh to try the new stuff and break it in every way possible

[Caffintor]

It always bugged me that you could blow up the fart plants but not the fart rocks. They don't look THAT strong!

[davebeck]

I have hundreds of hours in, but will start from scratch. Play normally and experience my favorite game from beginning.

[Definitelynotasam]

Kind of wish they would add like a Grid control device for a completed rail loop. You could then customize the intersections and lay custom block signals at a set length remotely via drones.

[dadbear]

I can't wait to cover the even more beautiful nature with an even more beautiful factory

[tattybojangles]

Can we please get a road system that has the same mechanic as a conveyer belt. Road building is such a grind

[BaldyMacbeard]

Makes me want to play the game again. So many quality of life improvements...

[alvaroluffy]

1:20 how do you make a curve like that, so large??? there are no foundations or anything that let yo do that i know it because ive been hours trying to make it and its impossible

[gdlifesteal]

You didnt mention zipline sprint mode or staying on the zipline when crossing ceiling poles or the new power towers

[PandaMoniumGaming]

For anyone unaware, the update comes out November 14th 2023, so anyone watching this video after that date will have Update 8 as default, so it'll be on Early Access not on Experimental anymore :) Thanks for the video. It's been really helpful for me for planning my next moves in my save.

[Xenthian]

The option to keep inventory on death will get me playing again. The amount of times I died and my corpse vanished through the map meaning all the HDDs were lost caused me to stop playing. (Multiplayer game so couldn't use a save editor)

[markus.schiefer]

Lumen looks awesome.
But I hope they add FSR2 and / or DLSS2, because TSR looks just horrible. Should also be rather easy since there are Unreal plugins for it.
I haven't noticed any big issues except Constructor animation being reduced significantly when only a few meters away.
