Satisfactory

Fantastic game. It takes a bit of time to get into it. In some ways similar to Factorio but with a nice exploration element. 10/10 ! Once you finished, re-playability is somewhat low though.

Well stick a fork in me, I'm done.

Satisfactory is one of the greatest video games I have ever played.

Do not be misled by the tags, this at its core is not a game about base building or crafting. The heart of this game lies around planning, logistics, critical thinking, and exploration.

Any yahoo can build a base or craft a series of objects.

But designing an entire complex with various purposes and requirements that all function efficiently AND looks good?

Now thats a task worthy of doing right.

This game is so free and relaxed it lets you do everything at your own pace. You wanna hand craft 10000 computers? Go ahead the game wont stop you. Its just obviously more efficient to automate that.

And thats what this game is so good at making the choice between easier and more efficient be two different answers.

Usually games fall into the trap of dominant strategy. One particular gun or mechanic is too powerful for its own good so the player just uses that. It makes things easier and more efficient because there's no switching around weapons or messing about with learning different ways to tackle things.

Satisfactory on the other hand makes it very clear. Its easy to make things by hand but it takes FOREVER, so the player in this manner is encouraged to engage with the systems and then are rewarded for doing so.

Thinking: Man this is taking forever F this Ima make a factory and then being rewarded for choosing to do the more complex action is peak game design. Its like crack, i cant stop playing it.

And the game is a master of respecting your time. Only have 10 minuets? Run around and grab some collectibles and explore? Clean up or dress up previously completed factories. Have 5 hours? Lets flush it down the toilet with a Heavy Modular Frames factories first floor. Any time you play you are making progress.

And the game is so no pressure, resources never run out, dying drops your stuff on the ground but you can easily recover it. This means that the games atmosphere is super relaxed and fun. Giving you total freedom to reap this worlds resources for Weylan- I mean Ficsit.

Briefly let me touch that the nuts and bolts of the actual gameplay are pretty tits. Id equate it to titanfall or Cod with regards to how snappy and crisp all the movement and gunplay mechanics are in this "factory building game"

What else?: Great music, great QoL, awesome developers, Hilarious Douglas Adams esque dialogue in the story bits.

10/10 Thank you Coffee Stain please never make a game like this again I have things to do.

its fun if your looking for long game play and using alot of damn math but yea its fun

I've been playing this game since it has been released at Epic and bought this on steam as well because both the game, devs and the other people behind this game including the community are awesome. I haven't been playing since update 8 till this month the keep the excitement.

The only things that would be nice are adding some edibles production and maybe some focus on living. but not too much, just giving some extra vibe of the pioneer being more alive.

Ficsit Co appreciates your contributions to humanity. If only you were doing more. Then you'd be more appreciated. But you aren't doing more, you're here reading this review. Humanity is at stake, so please try to do more instead of not doing that.

Satisfactory is problem-solving through design, and I absolutely love it. I dreamed in conveyor belts for a month.

Satisfactory is the best 3D factory game on Steam right now. You can race through the game with conveyor spaghetti everywhere or make immaculate structures to house your production. The world is beautiful, hosting many biomes, and the creatures that reside there are challenging and sometimes straight terrifying. You won't regret buying this game nor will you regret leaving your life behind playing it all day. My tip for new players - automate everything as you unlock it. Hand-crafting to brute force through the milestones makes the mid to late game super bloated and tedious. Have fun!

I can't put my finger on it, but I just can't get into this one. At face value I look at this game and think I like everything about what it is doing. I like the factory automation genre, with a little survival thrown in... It all sounds great. And yet both times I have started to play this game, I lost interest quickly. I don't know if it's the FPS view that ruins it, or the early gameplay, but it just doesn't work.

This game is addictive and should come with a warning... 145 hours later and I want the addiction to stop. But it keeps coming. HAHA HELP!

great game but you feel empty after completion. We need more stuff to build :D

For the engineers out there, this game let's you imagine the hypothetical; What if you were good at your job? Enjoy the little high you get from solving a problem or putting together a nice clean system, without any of stakes that exist in the real world.

After roughly 300 hours, I've completed the final goal. I'm happy, because the amount of work needed to achieve the final goal is tremendous. I'm sad, because I will never get to relive this experience for the first time again.

This game is amazing and the amount of love, care, and dedication put into it's development shows.

Thank you Coffee Stain for giving me one of the best games of all time.

Satisfactory is a good game, possibly even a great game. It is not, however, a perfect game, as some are inclined to yell from the roof tops.

If you like factory games and/or you like games about exploring gorgeous alien landscapes then this is the game for you, It's probably closer to "Planet Crafter" than it is to "Factorio", but fans of either will find something to love here.

The devs put a lot of time into the game in early access and it shows. The experience is well crafted and polished. The only crash I experienced was due to an out of date mod, but I'd also spent hundreds of hours in the game previously without mods and it's perfectly playable.

My one major complaint about the same is also one of its strengths. They have crafted a gorgeous alien world to explore.... and then asked you to build a factory on top of it. The problem is that there are large chunks of the world that are very difficult to do that in. There were many times I wished I were playing a different kind of game that would let me enjoy the world more and not just pave over it.

They also gave us a variety of vehicles to help move our stuff around, but then made the world (somehow) too small to really use them the way you might want to. (I'm looking at you, trains, and your massive stations.)

My other complaint is more minor and it's the pacing of unlocking the blueprinting ability. Each tier unlocks too late in my opinion and arrives after it would have been most useful. I completed the game without ever unlocking the Mk3 blueprint designer because it needed end game components and by that point I just didn't need it.

The first hour is a little rough, but once you get past the tutorial things really start to take off. If you like exploration, efficiency, and base building you will have a lot of fun with this game. I'm still only 4 hours in, but I'm hooked!

Excellent addition to the factory building genre. It has been a masterclass in how to run an early access title.

Satisfactory is nothing short of a breathtaking experience that beautifully combines exploration, automation, and resource management in a stunningly crafted 3D world. From the moment you set foot on this alien planet, you're immersed in a vibrant landscape filled with lush greenery, towering mountains, and expansive oceans teeming with life. The game's visuals are truly remarkable, making every moment spent in this world feel immersive and engaging.

The core gameplay in Satisfactory is where the game truly shines. The satisfaction (pun intended) of building complex factories, optimizing production lines, and automating processes is incredibly addictive. Watching your meticulously arranged conveyor belts and machines work in harmony as you scale up your operations offers a sense of accomplishment that is hard to match. The game also encourages creativity, allowing you to design your factories however you see fit, leading to countless possibilities and innovative solutions to production challenges.

Exploration is another highlight in Satisfactory. The vastness of the open world invites you to venture into new biomes, discover rare resources, and encounter unique wildlife. Each new area presents its own challenges and opportunities, keeping the gameplay dynamic and fresh. As you traverse this beautifully rendered environment, the thrill of discovery keeps pulling you forward.

However, while Satisfactory excels in so many areas, there’s one aspect that feels like it could use some refinement: the overarching storyline. The premise of crash-landing on an alien planet as part of an advanced corporate endeavor is intriguing, but the deeper narrative of how you got there feels somewhat lacking. While it doesn’t detract from the core gameplay experience, some players may find themselves yearning for a more fleshed-out story that weaves together the technological pursuits and the mysteries of the planet itself.

A more compelling story could provide additional context to your objectives, enhance player immersion, and give more weight to your struggles against the environment and its challenges. Even if the narrative isn’t the primary focus of the game, an enriching backstory could turn Satisfactory from a phenomenal game into a truly unforgettable experience.

In conclusion, Satisfactory is a fantastic game that offers a perfect blend of creativity, strategy, and adventure. The mechanics are addictive, the world is breathtaking, and the sense of progression is immensely satisfying. While the overall story could be strengthened, it certainly does not overshadow the incredible experience that awaits players. If you’re looking for a game that allows you to unleash your inner engineer while exploring a beautiful alien world, look no further than Satisfactory. It’s a journey you won’t want to miss!

Insane work. Love all the details with that the machines are designed and working. Lot of love from devs was given to the game with all its details. Played several states of the game and every session was worth it.

consume build automate repeat.

Great time killer. Build your base. Then you will end up rebuilding your base. Again and maybe again. The difficulty option for the game is starting location, there is only one map. Plenty of options to make the game more friendly or brutal.

Beware there are agressive alien spiders. There is an option to hide the model but takes away from the game.

Fantastic factory builder. Hundreds of hours of gameplay potential with replayability.

Do NOT start this game, idk what it is, but the combination of survival, resource management, and system optimization scratches the best itch in the brain. I now get up at 4 AM on my days off so that I can have a solid 6 hour uninterrupted session of rebuilding my factory for the millionth time.

Satisfactory is a dream come true for fans of open-world factory-building games. The sheer scale of the world and the level of detail in creating massive automated systems is nothing short of impressive. From the start, you're dropped into a vast alien planet filled with beautiful landscapes and a variety of biomes, giving the game an adventurous feel as you explore and gather resources.

The gameplay loop is highly addictive. You begin by mining basic resources and gradually advance to setting up complex, efficient production lines that feel incredibly rewarding to manage and optimize. The progression feels natural, with each tier unlocking new buildings, machines, and logistical options, allowing for endless creativity in designing your factories.

One of the standout features is the multiplayer mode, which makes the game even more enjoyable with friends. Working together to construct massive conveyor belts, sorters, and production hubs is an absolute blast and adds a collaborative element that makes the experience feel unique.

The developers, Coffee Stain Studios, have done an excellent job of providing frequent updates and engaging with the community, showing a genuine commitment to improving and expanding the game.

In summary, Satisfactory offers an engrossing, fun, and highly satisfying experience for anyone who enjoys management and automation games. Its immersive environment, rewarding gameplay, and cooperative possibilities make it a must-play for fans of the genre.

Addicting, extremely enjoyable, tickles the part of your brain that yearns to replace the rain forest with a beautiful, lifeless, manufacturing plant.

10/10 game for the 1.0 release. Only disappointment being that once you beat the game... you're done*.

*there's always more factories to build... but after completing phase 5... well...

This game is so darn addicting that I'm very glad the devs implemented a "break reminder" every few hours, otherwise I'd be playing this game for hours and hours on end and losing entire days to it xD

This is the greatest game to have ever been made. It certainly has some of the best game design decisions of any game I've ever played, as well as a great community.

Satisfactory brings an addictive gameplay loop with a clear purpose: complete Project Assembly. Building, automating, and optimizing are really great, with goals that make every milestone feel like a real achievement. Project Assembly ties all your efforts together, and each layer of progress introduces new challenges, keeping you hooked on the satisfying gameplay loop of building, upgrading, and automating your factory.

However, while the story adds some structure, it’s not satisfying at all. It doesn’t quite reach the same level as the gameplay. After investing hours into your world, the ending feels abrupt, with the storyline concluding without providing the expected satisfaction. It’s a bit of a letdown, but it doesn’t detract from the overall journey.

If you’re playing Satisfactory for the thrill of creating a massive, efficient factory, it absolutely delivers. The gameplay is addictive and well-designed, making each achievement and expansion genuinely rewarding. Even if the story falls short, Satisfactory remains one of the best experiences for fans of base building and automation.

I've really enjoyed the game. The ability to place things vertically was something I was missing in previous factory builders I'd played, and the mix of exploration, building and smacking things with a stick er combat gives me just enough variety in gameplay to keep me going. My factories look horrible, but they work - most of the time.

Really sad to say this game in it's current state is very much half baked and I can't recommend anyone buy this until the devs fix the game breaking bugs & very frustrating QOL issues.

Honestly this very much feels rushed out to compete with the Factorio DLC release. The game does not feel like it has had 5 years of development.

Me & friends have completed the game and by the end of it we were left feeling frustrated not satisfied. Some of the experiences we had:

The early to early mid game is fine as you are building small factories with limited numbers of machines, everything after becomes a frustrating grind of placing the same 4 machines down hundreds of times and connecting them together one at a time.

You would think blueprints would make the grind better but they can straight up crash the game if you put belts in them & then try to delete them, leaving you with a blueprint in your world you can't remove. This happened on 2 separate occasions very early on and even ignoring the crashing they are so limited in space you end up being only able to put a few machines in or you have to cram them in making the builds less than satisfying to look at.

You are expected to make large factories but when loading them the frame rate drops for around a minute until all the entities are loaded.

The dedicated server is very unstable by the end we were experiencing multiple crashes a day - raising the amount of ram did alleviate this somewhat but the crashes continued and introduced a new issue that the server didn't handle game crashes & restart so it required me to be restarting the server multiple times a day.

If you try to build too quickly belts & pipes seem to randomly stop placing forcing you to un-equip & re-equip them which breaks your flow making the building even more frustrating! Nevermind that sometimes the game entirely stops you from interacting with it forcing a game restart.

The fluid physics seem to randomly just break requiring you replace things, the same issue with train signals, I was designated train man in our play through and pretty much every junction i created i had to replace all the signals at least once as they were flashing in error even though everything was correctly signalled!

The final kick in the teeth ended up being the credits using the full left half of your screen so we couldn't enjoy the space elevator completion after 200 hours of grinding?!

This isn't an exhaustive list as we found that many frustrations with the game so remembering them all is hard!

This is before you get into quality of life improvements the game is missing, for example the power graph is useless if you have a blackout, not being able to nudge items in all 3 dimensions before placing them is a huge pain.

If you want a massive factory builder go play Factorio and come back to this game in another year or so. Hopefully by then the devs can actually fix the bugs & implement some QOL features.

The game is simple to understand after about 10 minutes, when you realize what most things do. "Do it better" is the name of the game. Dont get me wrong there is a decent amount of repetition involved here, but its fulfilling and simple. Its easy enough my wife could play, and she doesnt game much, but its also complex enough to keep both of us searching for a better way to do something because its an insane mess. Absolutely recommend. This game has no "Pay-To-Win" type content. You are getting a complete game. It doesnt have many bugs, the object snapping and placement can be dumb sometimes, but switching the mode or moving your character around a bit has always solved the problem. I would not call this a "survival" game, but there are enemies that can kill you and drop your loot if you explore unprepared (you can usually just smack them and win or just run away and if you get nervous). Great fun solo or with friends. Currently supports up to 4, not sure if that includes yourself or not (probably does), Not server based, its a Host save file session. Enjoy

This is the most addicted I've been to a game since the first summer I got Minecraft over a decade ago. Absolutely brilliant game if you like the genre.

"If you're looking for a game to chill but end up thinking way too hard, Satisfactory might just get you hooked. At first, it feels super satisfying—starting from scratch, building long conveyor belts, assembling high-tech machines, and creating an automation factories like a genius. But soon enough, get ready for some headaches when you have to manage power, conveyor belts, and the worst of all: the fluid system!
Oddly enough, even though it can get frustrating, this game has a way of making you lose track of time. There's a weird satisfaction when you finally see your ultra-complex factory running smoothly. So, if you're the kind of person who enjoys a good challenge and finds peace in problem-solving, Satisfactory is definitely your game.

I never thought, as somebody who has a problem with doing something for too long, that I'd enjoy this game as much as I do. Destroying the entire factory just to rebuild it in a futile effort to stay organised is just as engaging as the amazing attention to details in the animations and larger events.

Kudos to a very well thought out, well running, and amazing experience!

It's good but has a few rough edges:
The main objective takes a bit too long to complete, I like the game length but it should take this long to complete the main goal plus side objectives, but all the content is largely entwined with the main goal so there isn't much to skip if you become impatient.
The ending is neet, but a 'lil underwhelming, There should either be an ending like subnautica or an endless goal like Factorio but this has...neither. It's a decent ending, but just a 'lil lax
The world is too small, The machine to player ratio is good, the player to world ratio is pretty standard for FPS games (that being the world is shrunk) however this means that the machine to world ratio is off. This means that large structures like train stations (which is particularly irritating) or wide factories take up entire landmarks/features into taking up entire biomes. The factory should be *in* the world, it shouldn't *become* the world
The combat scales poorly, the later enemies are bullet sponges that are just annoying, the only solution is nukes, which I don't want to over use as it destroys terrain features.
I do kinda wish there was more to the world, it's *good* but I would love some narrative features.
and finally a couple of the later machines have hitbox issues

Otherwise it's a good game 7.5/10

Summary: Get Factorio if you want to build a factory. Get Satisfactory if you want to explore.

Pros:
- Good graphics and world design.
- Loading times are great considering the sheer amount of stuff I've built.
- Good performance most of the time (the belt-placement-hologram has some kind of serious performance issue in extremely complex bases).
- Exploration is fun and there are a lot of different biomes.

Cons:
- The alignment grid is too small, causing you to mis-click too often.
- You can't continuously lay down belts, pipes or train tracks and you have to constantly backtrack when reaching the "too long" indicator.
- Things don't snap or align themselves in several situations where you'd expect them to which requires cumbersome workarounds.
- It takes too long to move around your factory and you need to be physically present to do almost everything (including controlling trains).
- Until mid-game, it's extremely cumbersome and time-consuming to build anything vertically.
- Trains are incredibly annoying to use for all but the most trivial things.
- Blueprints are too small to be useful. It's basically impossible to use them to speed up train station and track construction.
- Blueprints don't automatically connect belts/pipes/power to neighboring entities like they do in Factorio. This means even if you have blueprints, a lot of your time is still spent connecting them.
- There are six tiers of conveyor belts and upgrading them periodically will waste WAY too much of your time. In Factorio, you would just have bots do this for you. In Satisfactory, you have to do them all by hand.

I LOVE FACTORY GAMES. give me some way to build some enormous complicated machine, then just mindlessly spend dozens of hours just going over production ratios and little improvements, and I'll dump HUNDREDS of hours into it apparently. Fantastic game.

It's OK.

1.0 balance is a little weird, with nuclear power being useless, thankfully, as it looks like it would add around 50 hours of building mostly the same things you've already been building. I can only build so many constructors, with a splitter each, and a merger each, and a belt to connected the entrance, and a belt to connect the exit, and a belt to connect the merger, and a belt to connect the splitter, before I just don't want to build anything anymore.

Trains are OP and carry way too much, usually 1 wagon of anything is enough and there's no need to check the train's throughput. The infinite resource nodes limited to a certain x/minute and spread across the map are an interesting difference with Factorio, as it encourages building nice little factories everywhere; but once you have trains, there's really no reason anymore to not move everything to one place and build a single factory there.
Drones and cars feel like a waste of time to try to fuel and use, unless you need them to carry fuel around, which is pretty much just coal as the other types of fuel are not worth putting in them.

Sulfur is entirely skippable. Liquid/gaz containers to build once and move packed resources one way, moving empty containers the other way seems interesting, but sadly I never had to do it more than once across the whole playthourgh, with Nitrogen, which is also weirdly balanced as any resource well you find will make 10x what you will ever need. Most resources in general are way too abundant and outside of iron and copper, you'll only ever need to find one of each. Iron and copper each have trees of things to make with, but most of the other resources types feel wasted as you don't really make anything with them that feels like it's made of the stuff.

Building in 3D is rather annoying at first compared to Factorio's top down view, and blueprints are really not anywhere close to Factorio's blueprints. But Satisfactory shines more in how you can decorate your factory. Making belt spaghetti in 3D is awesome.

The story seems like it could go interesting directions, but doesn't get anywhere and the single ending is short and uninteresting. The alien language is interesting as you start to understand the real meaning of the words spoken, but that doesn't go anywhere either. Wasted potential.

Combat is forgettable as there's only 4 enemy types, and after seeing how much repeated things have to build to upgrade my weapons, I just turned ennemies aggressivity off (that was near the end of the game though).

While I'm mostly complaining, note that the game was good enough for me to take the time to write this wall of text after spending near 200 hours playing it; these problems don't really get in the way of having a good time, but would have made the game so much better. VS Factorio, this game for me is less about building efficient factories, and more about using the 3D and floor/walls/decorations/environment to build cool looking factories. In a world where Factorio exists, the devs of this game somehow managed to make different choices and get interesting gameplay out of them, when it would have been easy to just make "Factorio but in 3D".

Do you want to build a factory? Play this game

Do you want to design a factory? Play Factorio or DSP

Tasks that take seconds in latter games, like placing a couple smelters and connecting them, take minutes in this game. Every building is needlessly gigantic and you find yourself spending more time on making sure that all belts attach to right places and that they are parallel to each other, in short you are fighting the 3rd dimension.

Scaling up in this game feel more like a punishment than achievement. Just finished one factory? Want to build next one to progress in the game? Guess you are out of luck because that 4GW power plant you've built 30 hours ago now is almost maxed out and then next power plant will probably take you 10-15 hours to complete before you can go back to building your factory.

Yes, there are blueprints in this game but:
- You have to build your blueprint in specially designed machine that is a mid-game unlock
- You can't copy existing build outside of the blueprint designer machine and just paste it
- Your blueprints are constrained by 5x5x8 (or so) block limit. That is barely enough to fit more than one or two mid-game buildings
- Good luck snapping the blueprints to each other, in a 3D game you can't nudge buildings on vertical axis and blueprints will sometimes try to snap on top instead of next to each other. As a result you have to "fight" the game using some questionable methods just to place things where you want them

We are simply not given adequate tool set to build anything other than 4 walls without running into QoL issues. Don't start me on clipping, vehicles falling through the ground, wonky railroad placement or other things that I can't recall right now. This was acceptable in EA but should not be tolerated in 1.0 release.

it's so good a game I bought it twice, just to support Coffee Stain Studios. I've been playing it off and on since it launched in Early Access and it has come such a long way and CSS does amazing community work. This is early access done right and it shows. The game has a great mix of factory building and exploration in this beautiful hand made map where every rock and tree was placed, moved and replaced by hand. It even has D&D references such as the Mercer Sphere because Hannah (who did the map) is such a big Critical Role fan and I ma stop now before this review gets any more random. Go play it.

Honestly I didn't think I was going to like this game, but with my A.D.H.D this game honestly ticks every single box, you just lose yourself in the building, exploring for resources, discovering alien wildlife and plants.

The game is a solid 9/10, just for quality of life you should be able to mantle when jumping against objects just to make movement around your factory or in the wilds more fluent and smooth.

The handcrafted map, the models and the animations are all wonderful.
The factory part of the game on the other hand is just terrible and feels like the developers don't play their own game. The game is ripe with small annoying design problems that have existed since the launch into early access. It also expects large scale mass production but the tools provided to the player are severely lacking, to the point where the game even ridicules the player for complaining about a limited blueprinting mechanic
It can only be enjoyed heavily modded where you just build a pretty looking factory buildings. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this to any fan of the automation genre

This game has severe multiplayer crashing issues late-game.

The game itself is quite fun and well made. Just be aware that once you hit late-game (at least in v1.0.0.3), if you're playing multiplayer, network clients will crash a LOT nearby highly complex factories (host will be fine). Crashes can happen within minutes of each other. It gets bad.

Besides that, very fun.

Satisfactory brings a highly addictive factory-building experience set on a lush alien planet. As an engineer working for FICSIT Inc., your task is to explore, mine, build, and expand your production lines. The game’s massive world offers endless possibilities, especially for players who enjoy complex systems.

For fans of sandbox building and logistics games, Satisfactory is an absolute recommendation. Its flexible design lets you go as simple or complex as you want, solo or with friends. If you like spending hours optimizing workflows this game will pull you in.

P.S.: Alex stop building conveyor belts...

860 hours and still playing on multiple save.

best part : can play at leisure pace, dont need to rush things
worst part : screw

I've always been a fan of games that take automatization to the next level, I remember being younger and playing minecraft with mods that allowed me to create my own factory inside the game and automate the process of obtaining resources, thats why i think satisfactory does an amazing job Satisfying that need for automation The gameplay is very fun if you like making calculations for rates of production, for example how many ore deposits you need for an efficient production of reinforced plates, etc. The only thing i would say i dont like about the game is that sometimes when trying to place buildings the it does feel like you cant exactly place them how you want, and I do think that is important in a way, since sometimes you want to build a factory building but the problem i mentioned makes it hard to properly distribute in the building are you designed. Anyways, the game is great and i do love every second of playing it. Recommended.

This to me is a rare example of an indie dev releasing a game in early access (EA) and not only finishing the game with a 1.0 release, but having added so much to the game it's outstanding. Too many games are a gamble, most of them are EA releases anyway and by the time the game is out either nothing has changed at all or you've lost interest altogether.

I'm glad I came back to this if you like base building and factorios than this shit is great. I'm not even done with a single world yet there's a bunch of generally good pieces of world building that are super rewarding to spelunk upon, caves and shit like that

Will recommend when game is fixed better. Too many headaches over such trivial building. Things don't snap into place, tractors teleport to inconvenient spots, connection guides are almost never right and you have to replace the same structures multiple times. Was fun until you got to later game aspects where functions just don't work properly.

When people ask me what do I currently play, and I tell them "A factory building game that sometimes requires a calculator"
Their response is a raised eyebrow or an uncertain "...Oh"
At that point it's too late to add that it also has combat and exploration.
So now I just started describing Satisfactory as a legal way to experience drugs in a form of a video game.

Satisfactory is the only logistics game where I just go "man... I don't want to do this anymore" and just stop. Probably because of the lack of viable blueprints. I know what I want to do, I know the design already, it's just busy work trying to build it while like Factorio and Dyson Sphere Program there isn't that issue, you're designing 90% of the time instead of just building stuff you already designed. The exploration is nice, fun and rewarding, but the actual factory part is such a slog.

Dear Consumers,

This is one of the most addicting and fun games I have come across in the past 4 years. As an engineering student I can't explain how thrilling it is to go from one milestone to the next and see your inventions thrive.

I'm a man of not many words, all I can say is that I highly recommend this game to people of all ages and it's especially fun with your friends :)

Much Love.

The iron never stops. It can't stop. I tried to step away, I really did. I thought I'd be free, just a quick break to touch grass and maybe talk to another human being... BUT THE BELTS! ooooHHHH, those beautiful, cruel conveyor belts kept calling me BACK. They whisper in my sleep, "YoU’rE oNe cOnvEyOr shOrt of PERFECTION." And I listen. I always listen. My friends are long gone. My social life? Disassembled and repurposed as modular frames. I don’t eat unless it's biofuel. My house is just a storage container for reality, while my mind is powered by somersloops.

They say there's an end, that you can finish the space elevator, but I know the truth: Satisfactory never ends. There’s always another node, another resource to exploit, another mega structure to build. My soul belongs to the factory now. Efficiency is my religion. And somewhere in the distance, I can hear a miner churning... forever.
