Sure. I didn't even click the video or view the thumbnail because I wasn't sure if this was a 3rd party channel or the official one either, because I'm being careful about spoilers.
Just checked, the video above is indeed from Coffee Stain Studios' channel, it's presented by CSS community manager Snutt. The way I look at it, these videos are Coffee Stain's official marketing materials, there's nothing in those videos that they don't want players of the game to see and hear before they play the game.
Now, my definition of "spoiler" is relatively narrow compared to some people. I saw a youtuber once who realized Subnautica was a survival game about ten minutes into playing it. I don't know how you hear about, decide to play, purchase, download, install and run the game without learning at least that much about it.
If you have played the game in Early Access, you know or have assumed 95% of the content of this video.
Thanks! I've done Satisfactory runs in Update 5, 6, 7, and 8. I know that update 1.0 is coming from other Snutt-led videos which they had said would have some meaningful completion of the story and explain some of the items that are useless in Early Access, beyond that nothing specific about the plot I've heard.
I'm going to talk about the things in the above video, so don't read beyond here if you don't want to.
Early on in some fluff material on CSS' website, they established a couple characters, Caterina Parks, Boss Babe CEO of Ficsit Inc, and her overworked assistant Steve. I think the in-game description for Caterium establishes it is named after Caterina. These two characters no longer exist in the story, it is unknown what effect this will have on caterium.
The only real plot point they've revealed is "Earth is in peril and us Pioneers are participating in Operation Save The Day." Whatever they're building out of the parts we send up the space elevator is supposed to save Earth. Whatever the nature of that peril, whatever the thing we build, remains to be seen.
