ChatGPT has a tendency to lie ferociously if it knows a little bit about something and feels it needs to flesh out its answer. They've put safeties in, like you encountered about explicit future predictions and opinions, but they haven't found a way to stop it from lying like a rug in general.

Ngl, the idea of entire underwater production chains is awesome! Special types of Miners that acquire resources from the ocean floor, like Silica or Iron. Or even dedicated new resources.

Oil Platforms, that acquire Oil from drilling the ocean floor. Cargo Ships/Cargo Submarines as the newest addition to the transportation roster, which can hold far more items than a Train, but are slower and require a lot of fuel. Submarines could even have 3-D routing that support moving up and down underwater. Seaweed farms as a renewable source of Liquid Biofuel.

[@dariuszmajecki]

I would love few features actually: 1. Underwater base sounds cool now. It could be a DLC or something like that after 1.0 version is done and finished. 2. I would love to have the ability to travel to another planet/moon/asteroid with new challenges/biomes awaiting us; basically satisfactory 2.0 3. After we are done with sending items needed to unlock tiers by Space Elevator we could potentially use the Space Elevator for something else whatever it would be. My idea would be to allow the space elevator to send us some basic resources we would not have in new planet/asteroid/moon that would be necessary for us to build something. 4. Normal Elevator, I mean stairs are cool and all, same for the fast transportation options but I like the classic elevators. 5. Hover bike, call it what you like, I wanna fly on a bike through the map.

[@ayulin9577]

Honestly, underwater mining would be so insanely cool!! Especially if there was some sort of advanced resource that cannot be found on land and forces you to expand into the sea, just like the current late-game resources force you to expand into certain parts of the map to get Uranium or Nitrogen for example.

[@Metrion77]

I love the idea of dynamic events. Running into a dry spell for some ore nodes, so you have to ensure you have a buffer to keep your systems flush. Random Enemy Spawns. Rain that impacts machine efficiency or transport speed if they're not covered by roofs or foundations.

[@dariuszmajecki]

BTW: For all that I saw myself I think Pioneer is bioengineered android or some kind of cyborg/ bio-drone. My reason for thinking so: 1. We take damage from poison gas means we are some kind of living being. 2. When we are near radioactive stuff our screen changes showing the ''spots'' in front of our vision caused by gamma radiation hitting camera sensors, that would suggest our sight is either from camera view (drone piloted by for example people in space above the planet) or android/cyborg view. This also means we are not Hulk from Marvel movies since it hurts us =] 3. We can ''heal'' our damage by eating plants, but do we actually eat them? No, we do not take helmets of do we? It means all we do is absorb the elements we found in the plants to fix damage in our ''bodies'' or change the plants into condensed form of inhalators. 4. We have our health indicator in the form of a bar, suggesting our suit or visor can see and calculate how much damage our body has, meaning we need to have some kind of sensors and electronics in our body. 5. Coffee actually looks like some kind of dense liquid/oil. 6. Alien artifacts can read our minds and make us worr yabout our family, which means we must be some kind of living being after all that was born. To sum it up, my theory is Pioneer is actually bioengineered drone that is not an AI but instead is being piloted from some kind of base or space ship above the planet (Avatar inspired). And why we have made space elevator; to deliver goods somewhere above the planet, to a base or space ship. We also got some kind of receiver built into helmet (head) to allow us control over the bio-drone. That is also the reason why the alien artifacts can go inside our mind and worry us with weird messages, they just use that link to do it. We can use the plant life to fix broken Pioneers (a name for the drones) because they are part flesh and part machine (Warhammer 40k servitors inspiration I guess?). Inhalators work on us because they work kinda like our dimension pockets, we stuff it with something that can repair and heal bodies of the pioneers. Also because the view we get is from camera we get all the warnings and gamma radiation affect that view with the spots. Since I went that far I also came up with what PIONEER means. P.I.O.N.E.E.R. stands for: Planetary Inbounding Organism Non-stop Excavating Every Resource

[@donmuerte7828]

Out of the things that ChatGPT came up with, I actually think underwater bases or (more) weather events would be cool to be added. Neither are at all necessary, but would be neat to see. I've always wanted to be able to build a factory under the sea that I could roam through. I like the addition of rain, but seeing as there are several biomes, maybe different sorts of weather for each biome? Like dust storms in the desert, or dense fog in the northern forest. I wouldn't necessarily want that to affect the factories or really even the player much, since the game isn't intended to be that way, maybe at most make it harder to see where you're going. Loved this video though, definitely a fun watch.

[@born2bbald12]

Suggestion: I really enjoy the FICSIT Farming module. However, integrate it into the Pioneer's health. Include dynamic body dependencies on food so that you are motivated to NEED the farming products. Aside from annoyances taking away your life force have time be a factor (you get hungry over time). One last suggestion: have a choice of different worlds to exploit. Have resources dispersed randomly - this would add variety and more challenges. I know you receive MANY suggestions and that you have a busy development schedule. I really appreciate the work you put into this most amazing simulation!

I was casually listening to the suggestions from chatGPT as I was playing Satisfactory but I had to stop and rewind when I heard Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC).

If you ever decided to implement a sorf of programmable device such as a PLC I would be over the moon.

If you place a splitter/merger right at the enterance or exit of any storage or machine, t will autoconnect withough needing any tierded belt needed, it should act like its a part of that item its connected to, same goes for liquids and/or other things that can hook up to eachother. A new type of Splitters/Mergers that if stacked ontop of eachother, they share inventory space, so input on bottom can go to the top ones, allso a splitter and a merger works together as well. Make the vehicle more stable, you can run into them and make them fly across the map. Add a button to droped crates (deconstructed items end in a crate) to auto delete everything in that crate, REALY handy when dealing with storage or mines that backlog. Autoreplace powerpoles and miners when you need to upgrade, just like upgrade belts (I couldnt find a way to do it, if that thing is in the game) A port for liquids on the Awesome Sink (water should not give any points) A Flow regulating valve for liquids A check valve for liquids, to prevent backflow Solid Conveyorbelt, think of a fluidpipe, but for items, might help with some of the laggfest in some factories and the load on the gpu (my factory getting laggy from all the items moving around) Metroite rain that can hit your factory or even transport belts, but to defent these, adding defenc lazors.

Buildable shelters/bunkers for REALLY bad weather (electric storms, sandstorms, solar flares, etc) ain't a bad idea. So maybe extreme weather events once in a while with a bit of warning to the player so they can prepare/hunker down?.......and they can play mini-golf in the shelter/bunker :)

[@eyeofthasky]

really cool how chatGPT suggested stuff that is already included in the game (but vice versa bad that it does not know these things are already in the game e.g. configurable conveyor belts (was that added only post 2021?)). BUT: i really think the underwater stuff would be a logical step in FICSITs direction of exploiting ressources, and the weather stuff might be cool twofold: normal weather effects are just cosmetic but those storms etc. could be just on particular places on the map (maybe new zones) much like the poison clouds already in the game require specific equipment to access and advance in that area.

Extremely over the top, rube goldberg device for creating the coffee to put in our coffee cups.

ngl, the underwater factories and the weather/storm effects are actually pretty cool ideas

Underwater biomes and structures sound like a perfect plan for a major DLC

[@jaye1967]

While creating shelters from storms or weather might be something interesting to explore, I think that from an in-game world perspective this is something that's not really necessary. Much like factory maintenance not being needed, the character's overalls, gloves and helmet would benefit from the same technology. Sot of a super industrial work PPE. To take inspiration form the movie "Men on Black", the last suit you will ever put on. Made from advanced materials like all the machines they don't fade, degrade or ware out. Also, probably self-cleaning.

In a previous video jace mentioned the potential of mini robots around the base, unsure of their purpose. What if they were to collect vegitation in a certain radius from their home port, deposit the vegitation to be turned into biomass? Automating biomass making the use of biomass burners further useful?

Gonna be real bummed if Update 8 doesn't require any High Memperature Finsulations to construct its blast furnaces.

I think it would be cool to see a snowy/frozen biome/area be added to the game, something like a tundra, snowy mountain or a glacier (maybe all three), maybe not for the current map but for a secondary map perhaps, just giving ideas for the future, I personally really like when games have cold environments and would love to se coffee stain's take on the subject

[@VinnyPuxGG]

Alien's invasion, turrets, ally AI robots, battle transport, factori-like area of influence to attract the enemy. May be as another game mode? Should be poggers!

[@Luminosus2012]

Underwater Factories would be great for example oil platforms or something like that but it would be great to see deep sea like where you really need to dive down a few minutes to reach the floor. That would add to the exploration:)
