Satisfactory

First started the game planning on playing for a 1 hour maybe 2, played 12 and got barely any sleep. Woke up and played some more, worth every single cent.

Amazing Graphics: Yes
Flawless Gameplay: Yes
Doggo to keep you company: Yes
Built in timer to touch grass every couple of hours: Yes
Ignore built in timer to touch grass: Yes
Time spent doing tasks: Yes
Lose your job, wife and custody of your children because you'd rather industrialize a fictional planet than deal with anything else: Yes

10/10 would recommend.

436hrs in 3 months!!!
Best played on a private server so you can let the machinery grind while you sleep. Playing with a team also adds a lot to the game - dividing tasks up when you are building and listening to someone else scream as they are attacked from below by jumping screaming spider things.
Anyway - really enjoyed myself, have hit 100% Steam achievements and now its time to not play it for a long long while.

This game is amazing. Only just started but I would recommend it to anyone who is thinking about getting it.

I would recommend this game if you like to make chaotic or orderly factory and decorate it the way you want(this game will take many hours to complete the story line). But after that you still have acces to all the things in you world. And the replayability is also good. 10/10 game

Hugely positive review but mainly came here to say things I haven't seen much of elsewhere.

If you read about this game on reddit or look at its wikis, it looks daunting and it looks like perfection is expected. It's not. You don't need extremely complicated train routes nor do you need to cover the map in factories. I finished the game while having a relatively small number of "bases" (5 I think) and only a few train lines. You can make it more complicated if you want to, but the game does not demand it of you. You can also run conveyor belts everywhere and make a mess and I think that's largely expected. Only people with many more hours of playtime are able to organize everything perfectly.

I mention this because I get the impression a lot of players get paralyzed by their factories not being perfectly optimized or having some model clipping. The game lets your models clip! Use it! Clean it up if you want to, not because you think you have to. It took me 105 hours to finish the game without imposing any of these restrictions on myself, just default game settings and doing whatever the game lets me do. It's long enough without trying to make the game harder for yourself. Save that for a 2nd playthrough.

That said, I did look up a few early strategies on how to set up conveyor splitters and mergers. I might've figured out the basics eventually but it would've been frustrating ("load balancers" were immediately intuitive to me, but "manifolds" were not, and I use manifolds 99% of the time). There's also lots of random tips online that help immensely that the game doesn't do a good job of explaining. Just, when you do look stuff up, don't get discouraged at unnecessary complexity.

With that out of the way, this is definitely the best crafting game I've played. I've never put 100 hours into a game so quickly and then hopped right into a 2nd playthrough when I finished. It's not "addicting" necessarily; there have been other games that were harder to put down that took fewer hours. It's just time consuming when you do play.

The pacing is excellent. You unlock technologies quickly enough and there's enough variety to never feel stuck just waiting for stuff to build. There has been an odd moment or two on project parts where I don't feel like scaling up and do just wait, but there's so much else to do while that happens, it never got boring or tedious. And, as you progress to more complicated setups, the game gives you more tools to make it easier to manage. It's just a really well designed game.

I love that the world is hand crafted, and it shows a lot of thought was put into it.
I do wish there were more reasons to explore it, other than looking for spheres, sloops, and hard drives. In my first playthrough, I made it a goal to utilize all geysers for their power which had the side effect of covering a good chunk of the world, but only to quickly set up some power lines and keep on going. There's not really much reason to build, say, 10+ bases around the map, and with as much infrastructure as the game provides, it's sort of a shame because I would love an actual reason for a complicated train network, but I can't justify the time other than for the sake of it.

This game is done. The devs need put no further effort into it and I hope they move on soon and make another great game. The only bug I can recall is that I adjust the game's gamma and my setting never sticks, so every time I launch, I have to change it again. No big deal. Performance is great on my aging GTX 1080. Haven't played multiplayer so I can't speak to that, but it's incredible to me that this game had this much single player ambition and managed multiplayer too.

Despite recommending the game to other players, I am seriously considering asking for a refund.

Why?
Well, the game IS awesome. It hit that spot that I had with Doom, Civilization, and WoT.
It's fun, has great graphics and expand a little bit at a time so that you're not immediately overwhelmed by all the choices that exist in the game.
Do I expand to here or should I start Yet Another screw construction line/should I fuel up first?
And so on. It IS a great game.

BUT it crashes A LOT.
The greatest feature in the entire game at this point may be the autosave.
About 17 hours is long enough that I am looking for coal, and so far I have seen more crashes than hours.
Thanks to the autosave I only lose minutes of builds each time - but that can easily be an entire construction chain that has to be rebuilt from scratch...

This is officially "version 1.0".
I beg to differ. Today (late march 2025) the game is a beta-release.
Version 1.0 of anything doesn't crash several times in a single hour.
And I know beta testers Get paid to test stuff, they are not expected to pay for testing games in development.

Having said all of that though, I will definitely buy the game again once there is a stable release of
"version 1.0".
Because it really is very good.

Great game, exploration, exploitation, expansion are all well designed and feel complete :)

Games great but fix the multiplayer. there needs to be a lobby where the players can join before the game so everyone joins at the same time. because steam is a pain in the a** with multiplayer joining. on this game specifically.

great game
already played 15 hours in just 3 days
rebuilt everything 4 times to increase efficiency
planning to rebuild everything again

I'm more writing this review for me, and I'm also assuming the vast majority of reviewers will have had a very similar experience as me:

You know why you downloaded this game; your addicted to throughput, mass balancing, and napkin scribbles. It started with Rollercoaster Tycoon when you were young. Continued along via simcity, and maybe some Black & White. But eventually, you realized you wanted control down to the unit. So it followed that you would play some Minecraft and probably some Starcraft, but eventually you would find your way to the sleep-ruining, posture-destroying, time sinks that are Factorio and Satisfactory. I have spent much more time on Satisfcatory, but that's likely because I'm a sucker for graphics, and there's something about the first-person aspect of this game that really shouldn't enhance, but really really does.

I have been playing this game for probably around 3 years, I've been checking in and out from Update 3. I've forgotten more QOL improvements than TotalXclipse knows (jk, he's one of the GOATS). Anywho, this game scratches the logistics management/exploration/crafting itch without feeling like a cheap imitation. The production values of the story and ADA are amazing, the progression truly sneaks up on you. Before you know it, your separate outposts grow as if in a petri dish- towards your main base- conveyor belts like lines of ants. You are manufacturing and refining across the map, your heaping monstrosities litter the landscape. Unsupported towers of smog-producing efficiency, the occasional customized and gorgeous manufacturing campus surrounded by hastily thrown up 'makeshift' and 'temporary' solutions for project parts, a beautiful mix of planned and improvised. Can't wait to come back to this game a year or so from now and do the whole fuckin' thing again.

Three hours in, and I can already begin to see the depth and attention to detail. Fun just learning the ropes and doing some basic mining and crafting so far -- looking forward to some engineering!

Satisfactory is a brilliantly crafted factory simulation game that perfectly blends creativity, strategy, and exploration. The game offers a deep and immersive experience, allowing players to master the art of resource management, item crafting, and intricate construction. Its expansive open world is visually stunning, and the level of detail in the mechanics ensures a rewarding challenge for players who enjoy optimizing processes.

The joy of building sprawling, efficient factories while troubleshooting bottlenecks is unmatched. Whether you're a fan of methodical planning or a lover of experimentation, Satisfactory offers endless possibilities. It's a must-play for anyone who thrives on problem-solving and loves a well-thought-out production line!

I am a huge fan of automation games, And I genuinely can't recommend satisfactory to automation games fans. Everything that makes this game unique in the genre makes me understand exactly why the genre normally never makes these design decisions.

The first person perspective combined with the enormous just makes building a simple production line tedious. You're constantly clambering over your machines just to get some high ground so you can build the damn belt lines. Sure they give you an observation to try and help early game, but the platform is static and the belt's you're trying to make are still blocked by the damn machines.

This means building is slow. And worse? The game has standard, free form terrain instead of a set 2d grid or vowel world. Think of the building in this game works like Rust. You build foundation to give you a grid, but you're still at the mercy od the immovable terrain. This isn't a problem in most survival games where your base is reasonable, but Satisfactory wants you to make hundreds of machines for massive scales of automation. You either build the whole thing in the skybox or suffer on the ground with an inherit lack of expandability. The blueprints don't do much to fix expandability because of how limited belt throughput is.

And god forbid you want to build something that looks nice in this game, because the slow, tedious building only get's worse when you realize everything looks ugly unless if you manually decorate the whole.thing. That's my biggest issue with the game. It's slow and tedious the whole way through. I doesn't get easier, it doesn't get faster. It just keeps getting bigger and worsening it's own issues.

It's just good gamin'

Satisfactory really benefited from its time in Early Access. I've been watching it for years and fiddling around here and there. Now that we are released I am diving in and wow! The quality of life is just... so much better.

Go fuck up a beautiful natural habitat for untold numbers of creatures. Suck the world dry. Get made fun of by a passive aggressive AI companion. You know. The works!

Do you enjoy spreadsheets? Does the idea of hours and hours of running lines of supplies excite you? Do you want to close the door on your friends and loved ones for days at a time to make just enough screws in an imaginary land? You can play this or eve online.

Just be careful when you start this game. I haven't been able to stop playing it yet

Just complete all achievements. Time fly so quickly playing this game. Most of my 414 hour play time is within the last 2 weeks. I just can't stop playing it. It is definitely worth your money and time. Unlike another game in this genre which never gives any discount, this game always discount multiple times in a year which makes it even better deal. From steamdb, the number of concurrent players for this game already tell something.

Here are quick tips that I learned from trial and error. It might not be the 'best practice'.
- Focus on unlocking all milestones, tech trees and advance the space elevator level as fast as possible.
- The cost to get a coupon increases exponentially. There is one last achievement (Golden Nut) that requires 1000 coupon to get it. So, you can imagine how long it take to craft the very last hundreds coupons.
- Try to unlock coal, fuel power plant as fast as you can. I mainly rely on fuel + coal + power storage and biomass. With coal power or fuel power, everything is fully automate. With a large number of power storage devices, I can avoid power outage especially at the near end game stage without using nuclear power plant. The Particle Accelerator and Quantum Encoder will blow your fuse at the peak power usage. The ideal locations for fuel power plant are those small islands on the west of the map. For Coal power plants, it is in the lagoon at the middle of the map. Build as many as you need there.
- Create Geothermal Generator on top of all geysers on the map and wire them back to your base. It is the easiest power source to build in this game.
- Don't worry about items on the top of the tree, high hills until you unlock Hover Pack. With Hover Pack, I create a wired network everywhere I want to go in the map.
- In the middle of the game, Hyper Tube is convenient and fast. But the best thing is at tier 9 (Portal). This is the tech that you don't need to create track (as in Monorail, Hypertube).
- I use work bench to craft something simple and if I need only 50-100 items of it. But anything beyond that create assembly line to craft it automatically even it is available from work bench.
- Create everything except miner on Foundation. It is much easier and faster in the long run. It is one of the achievement too.
- Later in game, we will need to scale out certain part of assembly line which will no longer sufficient in the later phase. I use eleveator to pump to resource to higher floor. The higher floor sit on a single piece of wall that stack on top of each other until it's higher than anything at the lower flloor.
- Lay a very wide foundation before create lots of things. It is much more easier to not constaint ourselves on tight space. Scale out assembly line is much easier and faster on the same floor too. You cannot grow your factory vertically without foundation too.
- When scaling out assembly line, I just look at the output level from previous phase and match it with next phase. Use spliter for scaling out. Also check the speed of conveyeur if it can handle. Upgrade conveyeur when you have faster tech available. At the game, I use mk.6 conveyeur only to feed coal to produce. Everything else is mk.5.
- Useless tech :- Drone, truck auto pilot, cyber wagon, factory cart, blueprint designer, alien power augmenter, smart splitter, programmable splitter. Monorail is okay. Don't purchase anything from AWSOME Shop unless it is needed for achievements.

With these knowledge, I believe I can cut down >300 hours out of my playtime to get 100% achievement. However, I think it's better to just chill and enjoy the game. Play with all the equipments, resources. Explore the world.

This building game on Steam drops you into a world where creativity is the name of the game—or at least, that’s the idea. You’re handed a set of tools and a pile of resources, and from there, it’s up to you to turn a blank slate into something worth showing off. Whether you’re piecing together towering castles, sprawling cities, or just a humble shack that barely stands upright, the possibilities feel pretty wide open. The early stages are simple enough, with a tutorial that’s there if you need it but doesn’t hold your hand too much. Before long, you’re knee-deep in menus and mechanics, juggling different materials and figuring out how to make things look good without everything toppling over.
The visuals sit in that sweet spot between charming and functional—not groundbreaking, but they get the job done. Sometimes the textures pop in a way that’s satisfying, other times you might squint and wonder if that wall is supposed to look like that. The sound design follows a similar path: ambient noises and clinks of construction keep you company, though nothing’s going to win any awards here. Controls can be a bit of a stumble at first—clunky in spots, especially if you’re not used to this genre—but they smooth out with practice, and soon you’re placing blocks or beams like a pro.
There’s a sandbox heart beating in this one, which is great if you love freedom. You can spend hours tinkering, experimenting with designs, or just seeing how high you can stack things before physics says ‘nope.’ That said, it’s not all perfect. The game sometimes feels like it’s waiting for you to give it purpose—there’s no real story or push to keep you going unless you make one up yourself. Some players might love that, but others could find it aimless, especially when the novelty of building wears thin. There are systems in place to mix things up, like resource management or environmental challenges, but they’re not always as deep as they could be.
Community-wise, it seems to have its fans. Steam reviews—if you dig into them—swing between glowing praise from people who’ve sunk hundreds of hours into perfecting their creations, and grumbles from folks who found it too slow or repetitive. Updates have kept it alive, adding bits and pieces over time, though nothing revolutionary. It’s the kind of game that’s probably best for those who already vibe with building sims or who get a kick out of seeing their imagination take shape, block by block. If that’s you, it’s worth a look. If not, you might just end up staring at a half-built tower, wondering what’s next.

Fantastic game. Highly recommend to play either with friends or solo. Significant depth without feeling tedious.

The game is well optimized however it is still tough to run.

This game is one of the reasons i started studying Computer Science. And learned that i have ADHS. The Uurge to build everything as efficiently as possible isnt small in this game and also gets rewarded every time. I did more maths (willingly) in this game, than i did in my entire career. Also very funny with friends.

Played this game twice before release and once after that. Amazing game. If you have a friend to play with, few games offer such joy. The progression challenges you at each stage but it does not overwhelm you. You will need a friend tho, because early game forces you to gather materials for energy and mid-game forces you to explore for research so it is much more enjoyable when you have a friend taking care of the factory part while you are exploring or vice versa. You also need to consult the calculator app and you may even need to take notes after getting to the assembler part. But overall, Satisfactory is a really satisfying experience and manages to be an amazing crafting survival game

Overall good, in a genre that only has like four serious entries in it. Dyson Sphere handles the 3D concept more compellingly and with reasonable physics and geometry. Factorio delivers a far more refined and optimized gameplay experience with much better emphasis on the core factory element. What Satisfactory does that is unique is that it personalizes the experience with exploration and (extremely light) combat, letting you hunt for specific unique items that offer interesting bonuses, as opposed to limiting you only to things you can produce from raw resources. In this sense, it is perhaps easier to get into than other factory games, because it starts off feeling like a first person exploration game. The lack of macro view is frustrating but limits the scope in the beginning, which might benefit new players.

It is ultimately a game about the player as a pioneer, and not the pioneer avatar existing as a way to limit player action range. Overall, a good time. Recommended if you like Minecraft a lot and are kind of interested in Factorio.

The clipping is unforgivably jank though. Why include the yellow clip warning in build mode if there is 0 penalty for clipping? Why are floor and wall holes discrete items if you can just clip belts through them anyway? Why include conveyor belt support struts if you can just delete them after building the belt and have the belt just float there?

It is a factory game, but also an architecture game, as you can spend just as much time designing and building structures as turning them into factories. It is a blend of creativity and efficiency, both of which are fun. This is the best game I have ever played.

This game is a never ending cycle of tearing all your hard work down just to rebuild it with 15% more efficiency.
And i absolutely love that it feels like you've "started over" when u rebuild your base without actually starting over.

Love this game, it feels like its just made to be played with and that's about it.

Very engaging and fun! I haven't messed with any multi-player biz yet but have enjoyed single player it a lot.

i have never played a factory game before but this game is amazing. You can make everything you build look amazing if you put time in, and the world is huge with creatures and places to explore which helps progression i 100% recommend this game even if you havent played a game like it before. It has a scary way of making you play way longer than you thought i got the game 4 days ago and have 32 hrs...

In all my years of gaming, two games stand out as being the premier experiences I have ever had. One was Minecraft, back when I had a server along with my children and their friends. And now, Satisfactory has risen to that level of incredible enjoyment. I just completed all the milestones in the game, and those 351 hours were immensely satisfying (yes, the game's name couldn't be more appropriate). V1.0, which I started in, is a masterfully crafted environment that was stunningly beautiful, intriguingly challenging, perfectly balanced, and just a blast to live in. The decisions that were made by the developers regarding all aspects of the game were extremely impressive. I could go on and on... just get it, just play it, and you will absolutely love it.

10/10 – Would lose 50 hours of my life again.

Satisfactory is the game that makes you wonder if you’ve accidentally become a robot. A really, really stressed-out robot who’s trying to build a factory the size of a small country, but with absolutely no idea how to make a cup of coffee.

This game starts out innocently enough. You land on an alien planet, and your mission is simple: Make stuff. And then, before you know it, you're designing conveyor belts that could stretch from one end of the galaxy to the other, all while desperately hoping no one walks by your screen and asks what you're doing with your life.

There’s a certain magic in Satisfactory. A magic that starts when you realize you’ve accidentally created a factory complex so large it can only be described as a dystopian nightmare of pipes and belts. The moment you think you’ve “finished” your factory, you realize you’re just getting started. Oh, you wanted to build a simple iron refinery? Sure, let’s throw in 18 levels of scaffolding and over-complicated assembly lines! We need 9000 megawatts of power, but hey, why not add an extra 10 just for fun!

And let’s talk about the animals. They’re mostly harmless, except when they’re charging at you like an angry rhino after you dared to build a factory in their backyard. I guess I don’t mind that much – they’re just upset because I’ve turned their lush home into a sprawling industrial complex. I’ll just continue my mission of creating, while avoiding being eaten by an angry alien deer thing.

The best part? The game doesn’t even hold your hand. Nope. It throws you into the deep end, lets you figure out how to power your entire factory, and then just stares at you with a blank, alien stare when you start crying about running out of fuel for the third time.

In conclusion: Satisfactory is a game that rewards your obsession with optimization, fuels your addiction to creating over-the-top conveyor systems, and gives you a deep sense of pride when you finally manage to power an entire factory with nothing but biofuel, crushed dreams, and the faint sound of the distant screams of my character as they fall into the abyss.

Would I recommend it? Absolutely. But be prepared to lose track of time and your sanity.

Satisfactory is all about efficiency, planning, and making the most out of limited resources. The fun starts immediately, with rapid progression in the early game. You’ll quickly set up miners, belts, and production lines, only to realize that the next upgrade requires a ridiculous amount of resources—forcing you to either expand or just stand around waiting.

The real magic happens when you scale up. Massive power plants, intricate belt systems, and logistics that make your head spin—this is where the game shines. Building is smooth, and working with friends makes the whole experience even better. You can divide work, optimize production, and solve power problems together. Sure, sometimes there are connection issues, but that’s just life.

Exploration? It’s there, but it’s more of a necessity than a focus. You’ll hunt for power slugs (some easy, some painfully hard to reach), but the world itself doesn’t drastically change as you move across the map—it’s just different scenery. What really matters is where the ores and water are because having to travel for basic adjustments is a pain.

Conveyor belts are solid, though they can get clogged with unwanted materials, which is annoying to fix. Power management, on the other hand, is one of the best mechanics in the game—you're always pushing for more, and finding new ways to generate it is super satisfying.

Now, my biggest gripe? The lack of variety in resources. There’s one main ore that’s used in almost everything, a secondary one that’s kinda important, and the rest are barely relevant. More ores, more recipes, and more ways to create new things would take this game to the next level. Right now, progression mostly just builds on itself instead of branching into new areas.

One last thing—this game is a beast when it comes to performance. If you’re planning to play it for the visuals, be warned. You’ll need a strong graphics card, because even on the lowest settings, weaker PCs will struggle.

Overall, Satisfactory is an incredible factory builder with deep logistics, great multiplayer, and endless optimization potential. But it could use more variety in crafting and a smoother late-game experience. If you love efficiency, planning, and automation, this game will hook you for hours. Just make sure your PC can handle it.

8,5/10 – Needs more ores, but still an addictive masterpiece.

It tickles the brain parts too good. I like to think of it as the best clicker game ever made.

Just finished it. So enjoyable. Beautiful scenery. Great as a solo game or with friends. I will be playing this again. This Satisfactory is Excellent.

Satisfactory is a dream come true for anyone who loves automation, problem-solving, and open-world exploration. It masterfully blends factory-building with a stunning environment, letting you construct massive production lines while navigating a planet ripe for corporate greed opportunities!

The progression is deeply rewarding. You start with simple manual labour and gradually build an industrial empire of conveyor belts, trains, and logistics networks. Every efficiency tweak feels like an achievement, and boy is there a lot of this going on. In multiplayer, collaborating on a megafactory with friends is pure joy; easily resulting in those ultra late nights we all feel nostalgic about.

If you've ever dreamed of building a sprawling, efficient factory while exploring an alien world, Satisfactory is an absolute must-play. It’s one of those rare games that perfectly balances creativity, problem-solving, and pure, unadulterated satisfaction (pun intended). It’s the kind of game that makes hours disappear in the best way possible. Highly, highly recommended!

This game is insanely addicting even when your alone,I would recommend getting satisfactory modler for big factories. This game has so many different elements such as exploration, combat and automating. This game is also very creative so even if you don’t want to make factories you could design factory buildings and architecture. I would rate this game a 9.8/10, as it’s the best game I know but starting off is slow when you get automated power then it becomes very fun.

I love this game. I wish I could play. I have played in the past. I was an early adopter; since the very first day of EA. I can no longer play because I can't play games that have no auto-move/toggle-move feature because of a new disability. I have been asking for this simple feature from the devs for years. There are active discussions open with dozens of other players asking politely for this feature with not a single response from the devs. I can only surmise that they are ableist. I cannot recommend this game, because of this. There is no space in my life or time for games that refuse to add the simplest of accessibility options.

Honestly one of the best games ive ever played its so intricate and already my 2nd most played steam game so much fun

Satisfactory is a remarkable factory management simulator that offers a unique and captivating gaming experience. With its blend of exploration, automation, and resource exploitation, Satisfactory has become the uncrowned king of factory games. The addictive gameplay, stunning visuals, and the promise of continuous updates and improvements make Satisfactory a MUST-PLAY for fans of the genre.

A Good 3D Factory builder and competitor to Factorio (another game I invested a lot of time in.)

I've been playing this game before the original release which means I experienced Mercer Spheres and SAM ore when they weren't usable at the time. It's good that they have a purpose now.

Just by looking at my play time and taking the time to optimize the factory layout while unlocking milestones and technologies, this game can be pure addiction. Even with unlocking the special mechanics from the MAM terminal it made a whole lot easier to use things like Mercer Spheres, Somersloops, etc.

If you like exploration, sandbox but also creativity and optimization construction, then this game is for you and all Factorio players.

I wasn't sure initially if I would like the game, but as soon as I started playing i quickly understood the appeal. I am now playing it regularly on my PC and my Steam Deck. There's always something to tweak and optimize or just to explore. The 3D element allows for so much creativity. I know I've only scratched the surface as I've seen what some people have posted online of their builds.

was amazing at first. Worked with no issues for several days of gameplay then suddenly the pipelines decide to stop conveying water. I had not changed my setup at all the game just changed the rules. What is worse, the community simply indicates that this bug does not happen and i must have made a mistake. When showing screenshots of the issue and detailed descriptions, this is all ignored and no helpful advice is given. So now all of my coal generators just wont work because the pipelines all decided to fail for now reason.

I played a TON of this game in Early Access on EGS. Stopped right before they added nuclear power. Jumped back in at 1.0 and now I've got a problem. I finished my first playthrough at ~650 hours. I'm now over 100 hours into my second playtrough, and I just started making screws. I have never been this addicted to game in my entire life.

That form can equal function is the number one thing that keeps my brain engaged with Satisfactory. I am a systems-thinker. Since I was a kid, I've always been into systems designs. First it was roads, highways etc that kept my mind busy. Later more complex systems like modular synthesizers etc. Satisfactory lets me play with systems, and I just see endless possibility.

My perfectionist brain constantly scours my designs to find inefficiency. I'll look over a iron plate layout, realize I could make it 2x faster, then spend the next few hours making it so. Once I'm overwhelmed with numbers, I just switch to designing aesthetics for my factory.

#1 Desert Island Game for me, and one of my favorite games ever made.

Best enjoyed with friends, especially if you really like one aspect of the game above all else. Let me explain:

If you really enjoy crafting and building the best ever factories you can, get yourself an explorer friend. Send them out into the world to find you the resources and nodes you need, even if it may result in wonky conveyor belt solutions finding their way to you.

But if exploring and collecting shinies is your thing, then get yourself a crafter friend. You may need to put up with not knowing where things are every time you return, but you'll have someone to figure out all the machines for you and ensure you'll be making progress towards your next upgrades (and other things, probably) while you focus on finding more new stuff... Don't forget to let them know in advance that you'll be needing a ton of ammo, filters and whatnot when you get back to base!

Either way both get to focus on their favorite thing and can of course dabble in parts of the other's interest to their heart's content.

Anyway, in seriousness: This game is gorgeous and quite lovely to play with friends. You'll get some nice hours out of it, whatever your favorite aspect ends up being.

GOOD!

This is not a bad game, but I just can't get it. The gameplay loop feels boring and it feels like so much of the game is just waiting for stuff to happen. I see other people playing this game and having a ton of fun, but I just don't get that, and I don't know why. I'm hoping someday i can understand the appeal to this game and have fun with it, but right now, I can't honestly give it a good review. I'd like to refund it, but I have more than 2 hours in it so that can't happen.

5/10 Not a bad game, I just don't like it.

very addicting and funny when it gives you the game allerts i think every 2 hours of playing continuously

Really fun and immersive factory sim. Great first person perspective to get a close up look at things. Cool exploration, great progression systems, and interesting story to ground everything. As far as sandbox sims go, this one is really well executed.

This game is a gigantic logistical puzzle and it is excellent, the best I know of in this genre, nice to look at, great to interact with. This will spark your creativity and give your brain a work out. There are still some little bugs but nothing game breaking and rarely show up, Multiplayer works great as does everything else. If you want something that is chill but also challenging this could be your gig. Over 500 hours for me now and I expect another 500 at least. Well done guys, this game is just properly good.

A chill and long factory building game on a massive hand-crafted world, resource nodes are inifinite and only you can destroy/desconstruct your buildings; so you can take your time in building big and beautiful factories around them, as there are plenty of customization options to make some striking architechture.

Making sure you build with verticality in mind and also in spaces that are bigger than you expect to use is important.

There's a blueprinter building that allows you to create blueprints but only within the constraints of the building. Which can force you to think modularly and vertically which is nice, however i feel you get this tool later than you'd want to, and upgrades to it you also unlock later than what you'd want, and by that time it doesnt give you enough space to even create a neat modular blueprint with newer bigger buildings, and also by the time you unlock its final upgrade you might not even need it anymore
