Yaaaaaaaa keep the reviews coming! See, this is perfect, man. I have seen a few let's play videos of this but I didn't know anything about it and if it is actually good. This review is what I needed to know.

Its 3 years in development already. If you want voxel factory game go for fortresscraft evolved or techtonica.

To clear cursor you can just push the same hotbar key again and it puts whatever your holding away.

You can remap your keys if you don’t like the default controls. The endgame is in there. Repairing the space station and selling robots and stuff.

This game is fantastic and plays perfectly on the Steam Deck 🙂

I hope this game adds different game modes and goals. Like maybe a supply demand system with quotas. Or maybe you are supplying an intergalactic war and your factory can get bombed and you need AA. Or if the side you are funding is losing maybe the war comes to your planet and you have to build bases and units and play RTS while managing a factory. Idk

Waiting for more robots and droids so I can live my Star Wars droid factory dreams

Pretty much 100 percent agree the game is fine , but tech tree is half finished, it feels nice to play, the graphics are nice, much better than Minecraft, i hear later you can switch to underground mining, which is a difference, is it worth it? Probably...since the updates will come , with paradox funding there will be no ..early access..fade out , theres no reason to buy now , umless your desperate for a another factory game, its one of the better new factory games imho

I do love me a factory automation game.

I only can say. The differences and unique things of this game starts with tier 3 technology. At the beginning its really similiar but then it has its big goals with big projects ( look in the sky above , i didnt want to spoil too much ) Then the buildings getting bigger and bigger and selling goods and getting new things is a blast. Hope you keep it up, because then the game really starts to shine. To be fair, the worst thing is to build pipelines. its clunky as hell and for the most part, i really want blue prints. Satisfactory is my nr 1 , its neat and has the best feeling to build things in 3d. Nice review so far ;).

Thanks!

Press Z to clear cursor, I hope it helps

I like the idea of no real goal. I just want a chill game to relax with. I have been wanting a game to just build stuff in, and this game scratches that itch for me. That is what makes it different for me. I have Dyson and Satisfactory, and I like this one better than either of those.

the Mid goal of the game is to repair the space station. green sci....yellow and purple long term goal to a modular assembly line of robots to sell to the station for ingots not found on the moon. just look up in the sky u can watch the station get repaired after the radio tower is builded

A point that always prevents me from buying Satisfactory tbh. The fact that the map is static feels like it's gonna be a huge break on replayability :x

I totally agree ... no story, lore ... no goal ... so for what reason should I build for? I started 3 worlds, as I assumed the seed would be 'wrong', but I stopped playing again and again ... and lastly, again. I am back to some other random game, that pushes me forward. (Du könntest mal Voices of the Void ausprobieren ,-) )

I see no reason to buy this game as there's nothing that actually draws me to it. I got a lot of factory games and playing one with cartoony graphics is not an option if you own satisfactory IMO unless that game would actually add something. Oh and destroying "everything" like minecraft sounds fun but it's pointless pretty much. I haven't spend much time looking this game up so maybe I'm wrong and there's loads of stuff I don't know about. I hope they will add enemies maybe it will be better but think I'm gonna skip this one. Nice video!

This game seems to be a competitors version of a factory game. I have an interest in it, and put it on my follow list. Satisfactory has no goals, except to feed a space elevator very complicated parts. It has 4 phases and nothing to show for all that hard work but a golden coffee mug. Satisfactory has story items, since the beginning, they never made use of; and they are annoying. Satisfactory has the benefit of beautiful biomes and creative builds; even if such a build has no machines in them. Factorio and Dyson Sphere Program at least has a simple goal to finish the game. Devs have no excuse not to put in something so simple.

Good game but feel like it is lacking something´. The voxel world feels a bit sad.

It's a paradox game, so will be a basic game with tons of paid DLC to Flesh the game out... city skylines style.

"Paradox" is all I need to know. Pass.

I have a few thousand hours in Factorio, and yet despite having Satisfactory for over 3 years, I've only played it for about an hour. The reason was the beginning. The beginning just straight up felt bad, so bad that it stripped all motivation I had to learn the game. It felt like the game was simultaneously telling me "you haven't automated that yet? Time to suffer through some more painful grind then!" and "you can't just automate that now, you need to take care of all this other stuff at the exact same time". I've also seen some videos of people messing around at endgame, and I can't help but get bored as it seems like they spend more time laying foundation than they spend building things. Plus the whole idea of building your factory suspended in midair with foundations is to ignore the underlying geometry of the world, instead of trying to mold your factory around it. In some sense that sabotages some of the advantages of a handcrafted world. My impression from a little bit of time with the demo is that Foundry doesn't have that specific problem with the early game. It still has a foraging for biomass phase, but otherwise it seems like the early game has a lot in common with the early game of Factorio, in that you get a lot of payoff from even partially automating things. I'm still kinda underwhelmed by the same sort of things you said, though.

Eww Paradox. I refuse to buy 18 20 dollar DLC to have a full game. Makes me so angry since they produce good games. I feel sorry for the devs who sign on to a Paradox release.

Need more innovation in this space. Merging Satisfactory + Factorio + Minecraft is not it. And for $30 fresh into Early Access? What a joke. It's really frustrating how much slack people give to Early Access. You just cannot get a proper review of these games.
