Satisfactory Truly Lives Up To Its Name

We are back at it with a "review" for a game that has technically been out forever but its my channel and I do what I want. Today is Satisfactory, the early access first person factory builder game from Coffee Stain Studios. This is my second highest played game on Steam and one I am very attached to. Enjoy!

Factorio can also be quite a casual experience. It has a setting to make the biters only attack you if you attack them, and you could also disable them completely.

[@seththepotate]

Just realized I misread your comment with my last reply. Sorry. I had no idea Factorio had that! Maybe I will actually check it out then.

[@mickys8065]

Very good review! Also the "it is hard to push the game to its limit" is the fault of let's game it out, since the devs use his belt nuclear reactor cocoon to test every update.

[@seththepotate]

How in the hell did I not know that?? Thank you for sharing that knowledge.

[@Oxibase]

I think they also use BLAndrew575’s save. That dude has a factory producing 375 heavy modular frames per minute. If you have played Satisfactory then you probably have an understanding of just how gargantuan of a task that is. I think it makes like 68,000 screws per minute.

[@Redkasquirrel]

CoffeeStain is so great at interacting with their fanbase/customers. There are so few companies that have the humility to really use the community for development without taking advantage of them.

[@marshallc6215]

​@@Oxibase ... people use screws for HMFs? I thought heavy encased frame was the only recipe

[@Oxibase]

@@marshallc6215 heavy encased frame is an alternate to the original recipe. The original uses 100 screws. There is another alternate, heavy flexible frame, that uses 104 screws. Heavy encased frames are definitely the preferred recipe depending on circumstance.

[@HumanShield117]

I let Factorio sit on my Steam Wishlist for over a year. And the first time I played it, I did nothing else for 30 hours straight. I was basically 30 Years Old at the time, and now have several thousand hours in the game. Not because I dedicate huge chunks of time to it anymore, but because I play at least some almost every day.

[@kzar99]

when (if) you finish with the elevator final parts and want something else, take a look (if you haven't already) to Satisfactory Plus, a mod overhaul of the main game (and forget almost everything you know of the vanilla game).

[@seththepotate]

Wild how I haven't heard of that one. I'll definitely have to take a look at it. Thanks!

[@neveryatis5019]

Nice video, i love this game so seeing other people talking about it like that really makes my day, also idk if it's early gameplay but remember the hotbar! you have 9 hotbars you can access with ctrl+ number and assign whatever you want by hovering something in the build menu and press a number!

[@seththepotate]

Oh yeah it's gameplay from "newish" early game save. I usually have specific hotbars saved for pipes, hypertubes, and quick foundationing. Honestly can't believe I forgot to talk about it because it is an amazing system.

[@neveryatis5019]

@@seththepotate Alright i do the same, have a nice day bro

[@jonasholm-mw5bn]

I like this game because I have time to think about it. The extraction points are infinite and you don’t have to worry about always eating or breathing. You just have to worry if you make enough power to make the other things. There’s monsters around so the world don’t feel dead and to find out where stuff is. Since if there’s an alien, then it’s protecting something. My favorite part is probably that you don’t loose anything when building something. You also don’t have to make belts separately and the same with buildings. You just have these parts that can be put together to make something. The only thing that’s really missing from the game is the story. As it is now you only realize it when it tells you “this item isn’t finished yet” Besides that, people don’t need more reason than, they’re there to exploit the planet and make factories

[@irimph]

If you like these types of games you should try Mindustry. As Satisfactory is like Factorio but much more simpler and more about the Tower Defense part

[@seththepotate]

Oh thanks! I'll add it to the list. Been thinking about trying every factory game on the market and making a mega-video about all of them.

[@davidboesen4400]

Really cool! Definitely going to check it out on steam

[@seththepotate]

I seriously cannot recommend it enough.

[@fastfiddler1625]

I'm trying to give it a serious go now. I've been playing since August 2019, when it was still just a baby. No trucks, no trains, definitely no drones. I have yet to get even to serious mid-game. I'm easily distracted by the flood of games that Factorio has inspired. Dyson Sphere Program, Factory Town, and if you haven't played Captain of Industry yet, seriously... Hoping to give Satisfactory a real play through, especially now that I just bought it AGAIN on Steam. 1, because I dislike Epic. And B, because I think they deserve a full $60 from me.

[@seththepotate]

I've never even heard of Captain of Industry. Adding it to the list, thank you!

[@WOF000]

Found this gem in 2020 and it's been my game of the year for the last 3 years

[@seththepotate]

Would have been for me if I hadn't discovered Stellaris. Whoops.

[@Oxibase]

I have been playing Satisfactory exclusively since I discovered it 5 months ago. I didn’t even know this genre existed but I absolutely love it.

[@ciubciubpl]

great video ,deserves more views ,its the only video ive watched about this game and i also read steam reviews and i want to buy the game ,but do you think it would be better to wait for 1.0 to come out or should i not wory about the campaign comeing out ??

[@seththepotate]

Well any and all updates heading to 1.0 are free updates and I truly believe the game has felt like a full game since update 5. I wouldn't say wait. It's a truly fantastic game already and the story will just add to it later.

[@ciubciubpl]

Ok thank you :)

[@Rambrus0]

The only thing you probably should be waiting for is update 8, since they update their engine from U4 to U5. It might corrupt existing save files if you didnt make safety copies

[@dirtysink373]

Factorial is a beast of a game, you should try it

[@chrischarlescook]

Great video. You should definitely play Factorio. Ive unistalled it countless times because its TOO good. Ive lost days and weeks optimising and designing.

[@diminacomusic7070]

Ive been playing for four days now...had now idea all the areas were on the same map...omg! Lol

[@seththepotate]

Yeah it blew my mind a bit when I realized

[@longfish5174]

I mean satisfactory is very similar to factorio in fact almost the same game they have differences but if you like satisfactory you will like factorio

[@Rambrus0]

Its crazy how many hours i put into this game but still couldnt finish the current last tier in the space elevator

[@seththepotate]

Exactly the same right here. Gets too complicated for me to have the drive to finish it.

[@Rambrus0]

@@seththepotate not neceseraly complicated, but very time consuming. After You unlock aluminium, the game kind of becomes a more power - more stuff - more power - more stuff loophole. I love the game regardless but the more casual side will give up at aluminium

[@marshallc6215]

​@@Rambrus0 for me, I generally build a single 20GW fuel/turbofuel plant before getting into bauxite, then that'll last me well into nuclear, where I can add another 10 or 20 GW and I reliably burn out on the transition into the final space elevator phase because of the semi-mandatory global resource movement.

[@pieterjanssens7017]

Rofl i also started playing this game duo a youtube video of Lets game it out. :)

[@kansasrockers1157]

COMPLY

[@TheGreenguy85]

Claiming Satisfactory to be "The best factory builder" in the thumbnail, without even having tried factorio... yeah..."do not recommend this channel" checked..
