CoffeeStain has fixed some crazy Satisfactory saves that went all the way back to update 2 from 2019.

From what I've heard they also specifically used the insane "let's make the factory into a bowl of spaghetti with a radioactive giant swirl towering over it"-save to do some heavy optimization improvements.

Some players take games to insane lengths in their saves, and it seems those saves can sometimes be hugely useful assets to study, and learn a lot about the game when put into that kind of state.
