Just a quick comment to mention a few things I didn't get around to in this already way-too-long video. Obviously I talked a lot about Jace's impact but I did a disservice by not talking about Snutt more. He has long been an important personality around this game, and I love working with him because he has great attention to detail and making things high-quality. And I think Mikael has done a great job as a community manager as well, and they both bring a ton of humor to the table. I also mentioned Temporal Illusion as one of many examples of a great pillar of this community, but there are so many others I didn't bring up but could have. Signpost Marv is one. He has done an incredible job of preserving the history of this game through the Satisfactory Clips Archive channel (a huge help while making this video) and updating the Wiki. And probably other things I'm not even aware of. There are so many things that make this game great and I could have spent a whole video talking about the great people behind it. But that's not really what the video was about. So just know no one was left out on purpose!

This is the reason I got the game. I was on the fence but their marketing + constant updates/transparency/honesty made me know it was right for me.

Great video Mason! This was a nice trip down memory lane and cool to see everything summed up from an outsiders perspective.

"3 SATISFIED MEN" is literally what got me to buy the game back in 2019. Thank you Mark for showing me this gem that early on.

Zero clickbait in that title. Top marketing work.

Let's game it out is absolutely the reason I bought this game. I saw him doing all the cursed stuff, and as fun as THAT seemed. I was surprised at just how beautiful Satisfactory looked. And even now I'm still surprised every now and then by the scenery and the animation. Satisfactory is gorgeous.

I was sad for Jace leaving CSS ! would love that he follow with us the adventure but a man must do what he must have to do ! good luck to him and in his carrier ! Satisfactory is the best factory game i played since the start of the project . excited to the 1.0 release

Temporal Illusion is the satisfactory information hero

Good marketing only really works if you have a quality product behind it. The Satisfactory Dev Team, IMO, is an amazing example of a quality dev team and Satisfactory is pretty awesome.

Main KZfaq Page, congrats! And about the real content of the wideo lol: Satisfactory is indeed a great game, bought it way back on the launch of U3, and was playing a new save every major update. Definitely worth the money, and it's definitely a masterpiece, looking at the fact it's in Early Access. Duh, even Experimental branch is way more stable than some full releases!

what really sold the trailer to me, was they didnt just go "this is a game about factories and open world explorations. go make giant factories or whatever you like" but rather they included humor, which made me wanna watch the trailer again. a good trailer/advertisement to me is when yes you give the fundamental information about the product, but you deliver it in a way that even if im not interested in the product, i still wanna watch the trailer/ad again just for the sake of the ad

A++ Video. Well done. For all my friends who do not understand my love for Satisfactory, I will be sending them this video.

13:31 man.... i almost teared up when i saw the name Life is Strange again... its been such a long time... i absolutely adore those games too.

I got this game from a Humble Bundle (I think) at some point in time in the past few years. I couple months ago I needed a game where it felt like I was actually achieving something so I finally installed Satisfactory and I've been hooked since. Everything you stated in the video I agree with 100%. Well done!

Never saw a single one of these community update videos, but the fact they are so transparent is what made me buy the game legit after trying…. Lets call it a demo

as a fellow shill for satisfactory this is a thumbs up all the way. im looking forward to 1.0 just started a new save today just for fun. miss you jace.

Great video. I have been playing this game since update 4 and have 5,000 hours invested (okay, a lot of those hours accumulated while I was sleeping and my Awesome Sinks were generating tickets for me, but I am an addict and NEEDED those tickets). I have never seen anything like this game, and you do a fantastic job of representing it. I am both excited and terrified by the impending release of 1.0, because I have enjoyed the ride through what I believe is the greatest early access experience ever, and I don't want that to end! I "liked" your video early on, because it was clearly made from a place of love and respect for the game, its developers, and its community. I subscribed when you continued with the generosity and grace that makes everything about this game and community so great by giving a shout-out to Griffilicious and his video about Satisfactory (which I had coincidentally watched right before watching this video, both of which I enjoyed tremendously). It's great when content creators take a moment to acknowledge the other people passionate about the game. Thanks for being awesome!

I havent had much experience with community management in other games as a player in the past. But now being an ardent viewer of Jace👋 Snutt❤ and Mikael♥ makes you feel the difference and boy is it large. Those 3 people are miles ahead of community managers from other games. And they manage to create enjoyable to watch videos even when they cannot offer much or even anything new in terms of information. I buyed the recently released soundtrack not because I particularly like the music, but because I wanted to support the devs, because they deserve it.

I like quite a few factory games, but Satisfactory is my first love

I love the grind in Satisfactory. It's not a classic grind of doing repetitive tasks endlessly, but it's a constant expansion of your manufacturing lines. Then, if you don't want to build more at the moment, you can just get up and walk away for a moment while the grind happens for you.

I got the game after watching Mark and Jack play it and have been hooked ever since. The only computer games I have played more than satisfactory are rouge-likes. It’s just so great how you can take it at your own pace. That’s great with their goals. There’s just an amount and then no other specifications. It doesn’t matter if you have those parts laying around, it takes you an hour, or two days. It only moves forward when you want to. But you also can’t stay put forever. You do have to do some exploring. It just depends on you how much you do it and how much you come back with each time. Their monsters also stay gone. So even if you died there five times to some monster, you’ll barely think about it after you have placed your five story factory on top of it.

The community support and the communication style and volume of info from the developers are the reasons why I broke my "never buy early access games" rule for Satisfactory. To date it's the first and only e.a. Game in my library and I have spent far too many hours in it. Great game, great community, awesome devs.

Great. After watching this video I want to get back to Factorio :). I had no idea that these were the Goat Simulator guys, but I have pretty much only heard good things about Satisfactory. Another thing the games have in common is that they both seem to be early access done right. Factorio was also a great game even prior to launch, and I think the community management there is also top notch.

-Have community highlights celebrating the creations of the community -Spend time with the fans in weekly streams, directly interacting with them -Making entertaining content videos -Care about their product, patching and improving it to the best of their resources and time -They thank the community for their efforts and being there with them Satisfactory puts most AAA community interactions to shame. Being passionate about their work it's something that truly resonate with people and cannot be faked nor bought. Kudos to the community they formed and the game they are making

My man talks like logistiks are fun, great video

Great video this is the first time I've come across your content I'm a subscriber now🎉

I got it when it was on sale recently and I heard that the price was increasing after early access. I was already considering it but that pushed me over the edge

Satisfactory is by far one of my top games of all time. I used to be an Xbox player. The moment I saw satisfactory on a KZfaq video I knew I wanted it. Satisfactory is the SOLE reason I bought my first gaming PC. Thanks for creating such a masterpiece. I can't wait to see what future updates and potential dlc will include!

I wish more studios would be as transparent as Coffee Stain.

Good job! Keep this up!

Very good video, new sub here and I think you have big potential making video essays for more than just this game. Start streaming satisfactory too!

I love the "Yeet Tube" for fast and dangerous transport.

I bought this game in Epic because I love Factorio and now in 3d form, hell yeah. And when it gets release on Steam, I also bought the game there as well and never touched the game on my Epic launcher because Epic Fail Launcher.

Awesome video

I've played just about ever factory builder on Steam, yet Satisfactory remains my favorite one by a long shot. There's just something so...satisfying...about it. Can't get enough. I'm so hyped for 1.0

Great stuff!

I bought the game one week after it came out. I don't even remember why, there weren't that many content creators at that time. Have clocked in over 1000 hours since then (and another ~1000hours where i had a rented server running all the time). Absolutely this game is a Master Class of Game Marketing and Community Management, thanks to Jace and later of course Snutt. Big Companies like EA/Activision-Blizzard could learn a lot from this - to have a more open communication with their communities instead of - as you've pointed out - reading from Marketing Material. It's boring as hell and usually somebody posts a summary video where a 3 hour "camp fire" is boiled down to 10-20mins on the actual changes like 2 hours after the Stream of the publisher is done. Looking forward to 1.0, have taken a bigger break after playing Update 8 for a while. And for some reason i never stumbled across this channel in 5 years so take my abo :)

This video is so good!

i bought this game full price having only watched the trailers, marketing is pretty good in my opinion! (I BOUGHT IT A DAY BEFORE SUMMER SALE WHERE IT WOULD BE HALF PRICE)

Bought this game in feb 2020. With over 4000 hours i've sunken in this game it was not just about the marketing.... It's a darn good game !

Subnautica and satisfactory have multiple ways /directions in 3d space to move around that keep things from getting monotonous.

Jace and Snutt are primarily engineers who took on the CM hat, and they communicate as such. Honestly and not in a smooth PC manner like a manager type.

Let's game it out is what made me play it. I got a pirate version of it but loved it so much I had to get it the real version. Then I paid for it again on steam.

A work colleague mentioned this game to me and I joined shortly after update 4, I've now got 3600+ hrs in the game, I've still not unlocked everything as I start a new game after each update. I'm using early access as a test bed for design ideas and when 1.0 comes out, I'll be starting a new save and that will be it, I will play that save FOREVER!!!!!!!! I have a good friend who doesn't have a PC (he's a console fan!), but whenever he comes round, he always asks to watch the dev streams as they are so entertaining

I don't know if you have notifications enabled but it's worth a shot. Where on the map can I find the location from the final scene of the video? I'm looking for a homebase location for when 1.0 drops in september and that looks awesome :D

you forgot Nilaus and he is probably the one who made me buy this game

I have played this game sinds the open beta, and I just keep enjoying it. Not like most games that realy can get boring over the time.

spot on....

The nice thing about lets game it out is that his save file is used for optimasation becouse if that dumpster fire of save runs better normal saves will also run better

Let’s game it out also affected the game in an unexpected way. Because of how he dealt with nuclear waste, by giving it to lizarddoggos and then throwing them off the map, then it got added to the game. So now there’s a chance your cute little lizarddoggo will bring you deadly toxic waste. But that’s not all. When they made plushies, the toxic waste also got one, to go with the lizarddoggo, of course and when The stupendium made a song based on the awesomeshop from the game, it ends with him getting toxic waste from a lizarddoggo.

I watch let's game it out is how I found this game. Looked fun and it is

Satisfactory is an amazing game.

Main objective is to not have to do anything after you've built a perfect factory.

Best ONE MAP only game ever made? HTF did they do that? One Map? Wow imagine a new Map.....

I ignored this game for a couple years because i looked it up and found Jace making some snide comment i can't remember on twitter to someone. So i never thought he was a good community manager. Snutt is cool though

The reason is simple... you guys bring something different, and bring it HARD. It's accessible. You deal in digital heroin mixed with crack cocaine... AND IT'S (somehow) LEGAL! KEEP IT COMING!

The masterful marketing wouldn’tt mean a thing if the game wasn’t so amazing. I just bought a few days ago…wow. I’m pissed at myself for not buying it sooner but it’s also cool that I can warm up for 1.0 for a little bit. To me the game is more Minecraft than factorio, though I played neither. I have put a couple hundred hours in Dyson Spehere program which is very similar to this and also amazing. It is made in China which raises some red flags (especially right now) though they claim to be mostly (but who is there) independent… anyway, yes these devs are amazing as well, but the game is more amazing.

I actually bought it on epic... One of the only games I've ever bought on there. Then I bought it on steam so I wouldn't have to play it on Epic lol. The game is that good.

I still regret buying on Epic - I certainly don't regret buying it though and have come very close multiple times to rebuying it on Steam!! - currently it's not installed because new PC and how painful and annoying Epic's launcher is to re-import games! ( because it's still there on the disk and unlike Steam there's no simple way to just re-import it - even after all these years of Epic's launcher! )

I just loved the office tour, with a drunk Jace and every one in the office hates him... And to get to know the developers, like Snutt (The man behind the camera in the office tour.. :) ) and Hannah, this was on another level and surtainly a level every game studios should reach for... Wube (gamestudio behind Factorio) was almost there, they always answered the questions, always listened to the community and ALWAYS gave us a very good and detailed overlook on what's new and that is the reason I have over 5400 hours in that game, I bought it the same day it was released and just loved it. So OC I was excited when someone in factorio community made me aware of satisfactory... Jace, and then Snutt and Jace, then just Snutt, or not just, love him too, has given us som many hours of good content, tips tricks and a lot of love I never seen any other game studio do. As this video say, usually you see one or two guys sit there and read something they did not invent themself, with a lot of bragging and that's it.. I have know (....*checking*...) almost 2000 hours in satisfactory, and 400 hours of that in my latest save (that has survived since some mouths before update 6) and the main factory, in the northern forest, is OC a huge mess of spaghetti (like it should) I now have a hard time figuring out what I actually produce there, but I also have a lot of smaller... or well, better constructed factories all over the map producing, well more stuff.. That I transport with trains and drones.... It is so huge that it takes almost ten secs too save it every 15 minutes (i use the breaks to drink or fetch something, and yes, I have an solid state HD... ) And still watch every video Snutt puts out, on updates and stuff, still loving the game.. :) So keep on going Coffee stain studios and Snutt, you really doing a great job. :)

I mean, you can turn off enemies in Factorio

Ohhh jace...Jace.... NEVER CHANGE!!!

this video deserves more views.

You've done good, Mason!

No golf in the game tho...

I have bought it twice ))) Once on epic, and once on steam.

Satisfactory is the game that came the closest to the Minecraft.

❤

No they're not, they generally just tease info instead of providing any, and had that horrible debacle where they decided that mocking their fans was preferable to admitting people don't like Epic. Jace killed a LOT of hype and interest I had in satisfactory with their attitude.

The devs truly can be proud about there work they have done over the years. For me it is the best game in various ways. But the most how early access should look like.

"Promo sm"

From my and many friends point of view, they had anything but good marketing. The epic exclusivity put a stain on this game and the company forever showing their greed. And once it finally came to steam it just felt like an inferior factorio clone but 3d. Factorio Spaceage cant come any sooner

*video title* Insert meme: Obama putting a medal around his own neck.

epic did nothing other than a paychaeck, we only got the game because it was forced onto us to buy it there, if it had launched on steam it would have been the same or more popular than it was at launch, most of us that got the game on epic also purchased it on steam once it released there, epic wasbasically early access for the game, im glad they took epics money, we made damn sure to welcome the game to steam the moment it dropped there too just to let them know that epic games is not and never will be needed for any game developer IF your game is good, now look at the epic store... nothing but nft games and garbage.

Definitely Lazers are responsible of the success of this game

Fuck Epic games Glad I have it on Steam though, but I don't think Epic games endless money pit is really the cause of their succes Freedom to the people, not to the companies!

Wassup

definitely a game of all time

“That is why satisfactory is a great game” - shill account with satisfactory right in their fucking KZfaq name

12:15 Don't forget @WhatDarrenPlays

The background music enhances the video.
