Satisfactory's First Paid DLC Takes Building Underground
Coffee Stain Studios announced Core Values, Satisfactory's first paid expansion, adding underground building plus new resources, flora and fauna.
Coffee Stain Studios has announced Core Values, the first paid DLC and a major expansion for Satisfactory. The expansion takes building underground for the first time in the factory game's history, and it introduces new resources, flora, fauna and more. A Steam page for Core Values is available now.
Going underground is a meaningful shift for a game built around sprawling surface factories. Satisfactory has always pushed players to spread out across an alien landscape, so moving construction below the surface opens a different kind of spatial puzzle: tighter layouts, new logistics problems, and whatever the expansion's new flora and fauna turn out to be.
For context, Satisfactory won PC Gamer's 2024 Best Sandbox award, and it has a habit of eating hundreds of hours — this writer has put roughly 400 hours into it across a few years, including near-daily sessions during the lockdown months. An expansion that changes where you build is exactly the kind of thing that pulls those hours back.
There is no release date yet. For now, the Steam page is the place to watch for details on Core Values.
