Our team has been diligently looking at all the feedback and reports coming from the community, and we have valuable information to share that we hope will be of help.
*LAST UPDATED: February 11th, 2026 – Any changes from the previous version of this report will be added in italic lettering to facilitate distinguishing new updates.
Modding Reminder
We’ve seen reports of the game crashing upon launch, and in the vast majority of early cases this was because the game was modded. We do not officially support mods, so if you have used them on any of your old saves, you are likely going to crash. We recommend removing all mods and starting a new save if you want to enjoy the content. Do consider that simply reinstalling the game can still leave mod files behind.
Note: A quick update to help clear up any misconceptions: Mods are not THE source of crashes here. They do, however, historically contribute to them. We’re addressing the issues we can internally but unfortunately cannot address issues caused by external Mods and recommend you uninstall them to see if that helps with any issues you might be experiencing.
Fixed Issues
In February we released Patch 1.37.4, the first in a series of monthly patches scheduled for the first half of 2026. We also have a full compiled list of all 4 Hotfixes following the Megatech release available for review here. .
Platform Parity
Review the following list to verify what update version each platform is in.
- Newest Patch – 1.37.4.0: Steam, PS4, PS5, Xbox, and Microsoft.
- In the case of the Nintendo Switch, the Megatech update is planned to be released later in the month of February 2026. We expect all platforms to return to parity on the same version by then.
Upcoming Fixes
We’re aiming to release monthly updates for the first half of 2026. We will work first on fixing Megatech bugs and releasing Megatech on the Switch, and we will then move on to things we should have fixed/changed a long time ago, addressing longstanding issues and other feedback to focus on quality-of-life improvements.
Our next patch is coming in March, and we’re aiming to try and release these patches on roughly the same time of the month for each one. This should be the second full week of the month.
We will continue to work on additional fixes in order of severity, so please continue to send your bug reports for any issues you encounter as you run into them. If you’re not already, keep an eye on our social channels and our Discord server too for any news that we’re ready to share.
PS4 DLC not transferring to the PS5 version
Players who purchased the Megatech Deluxe Bundle for the PS4 version of the game on December 11th or before have not retained access to said DLC after upgrading to the PS5 version. We contacted PlayStation to remedy the situation and heard back that as of mid-January, all affected players should have correctly received their DLC. If for whatever reason this wasn’t the case for you, please contact our support team: support@systemera.net.
PS5 Save File Imports
We’ve seen reports of PlayStation players unable to import their PS4 save files over to the PS5 version because the import button appears to be unresponsive. This can happen because PS4 save files that are saved in the cloud are not accessible directly on the system. To resolve this, you can refer to this guide for step-by-step instructions on how to import your save files from PS4 to PS5.
Save File Repair Tool Addition – Partial Nuggets
Some issues in the game could create “partial nuggets” of resources that cannot be interacted with and block access to the slots they’re in. We’ve issued a fix that should address this bug on all newly generated resource deposits, though you may still experience partial nuggets that persist from prior to this fix.
For this reason, we have updated the Save File Repair Tool so that it now has the option to remove partial nuggets from a save file. If your save has been affected by this issue, follow the link to this guide for steps to follow and look for the “Delete Partial Nuggets” setting.
Known Issues
Work continues on fixing the remaining issues in the game. For added visibility, you can find a list of known issues in our Megatech Live Bug Tracker. This isn’t a completely comprehensive list of every bug present in the game, largely the ones that get reported the most to our support team. You can also find information we’re looking for from the community to help us investigate some of these issues.
Additionally, we recently added a new channel to our Discord server for gathering more information on high-profile and trickier-to-figure-out bugs. If you’re able, please look for the #bug-investigations channel and see if you can provide insights on bugs that are under investigation.
Other Feedback
We’ve also been seeing some feedback shared around some aspects of the Megatech Update’s game design that we are reviewing, listed here for awareness.
- Intermodal Terminal: While there are some bugs disrupting the functionality of the Intermodal Terminal, much of the feedback we’ve seen seems to revolve around the complexity of getting it to work as expected. We’re poring through all the feedback and hope to make improvements to this Megastructure in a future update.
- Megastructure Recipe Costs: We are watching recipe costs closely and will report back if we feel like we need to make any adjustments. While the numbers look daunting at the start, we also want them to feel somewhat challenging. Keep feedback coming about these.
For clarity, we’ve also received a lot of feedback on the other Megastructures, and we’re still taking it all in to evaluate what improvements can be made.
Thank you to everyone for sending in their bug reports and for your patience while we work out these issues. For anyone encountering issues, please send us an email bug report to support@systemera.net with as much info as possible, including which platform you play on, your in-game username, and a description of the problem encountered so we can sort it all and work on it.
