to be fair, I don’t do it without some mods… like long reach, train logistics mods… but damn, once you get into it, nothing can beat the sheer madness of a bobs run.
Has anyone played the desert map? Not the experimental one, but the other one.
I started on it and then got to the level of coal. Then when I pinged coal, it was all super far away in other biomes. I even built a ramp, which took a good while, made it over some mountains, through radation and monster, and still it was then down the other side in a valley somewhere. Is there some coal spot I missed that didn’t require a huge effort to get to? I just ended up restarting into the grassy plains biome (the first one), because I know coal isn’t too hard to get there.
Yep live on Steam now, so is there an end game goal for this? Do you launch a rocket or what?
No end game goal yet. You just progress to unlock techs, so I guess you can view that as a goal. I never had much use for the end game techs like trains or nuclear power plants.
There has to be more to the game than just delivering goods to some overlords, until then this is just not really a game imho.
You make your own goals in these kind of games - its not the end game that matters, its the experience and the journey, the building of structures, how you do that, the endless variaties in that regard - Like Minecraft and to a lesser extent Conan Exiles, and countless others in that genre.
I’ve been eyeing this game a bit, but the fact its only factories you build, and not homes, makes me wary of it.
I believe the developers intend to have a story in the final version. There are hints of it with weird objects scattered around the map. I don’t know if it’s going to be just some bare narrative to drive the build and deliver more stuff core of the game or if it will be more like Subnautica with a gradually discovered story.
In its current state it’s similar to Factorio. You build stuff so you can build more stuff until you have built all the stuff. I am hoping and assuming from the hand crafted map that when complete it will be more akin to Subnautica than Factorio.
I got a big update today (or maybe yesterday). Anyone know what’s up with it?
It looks like there was a bug fix patch yesterday, and I would guess the steam launch involved changes to the codebase that they released on Epic as well.
There is no endgame yet. the game isn’t done lol. its in early access
Both have a ‘win state’; I fear Satisfactory is quite far from having one. I know it’s part of the genre not to have one but for me it’s important to be able to achieve an objective (even if I don’t pursue it).
Darn it. I was hoping for a big add-on of content.
This is on their main page. I wonder how far out update 4 is:
??? .
they develop this game at a glacial pace
Yea I know. It’s annoying.
Oh wait, are you saying they’re making a joke about that fact?
no, I’m surprised they still don’t have any info about the next update except for something like this, I mean its been like 10 months lol
I just want them to put in really good modding support. Then the community can make and actual game out of it.
Can anyone confirm that the Steam version of this still requires an Epic log in?
