Satisfactory Update 8 Gameplay is out now on experimental and I'm starting a brand new series for the update! New Builds, Blueprints, Unreal Engine 5 and Features! This is one of my favourite games that I never have enough time for, so I'm hoping with this beginner friendly playthrough, we can work together to build a better tomorrow!

It's funny how your way of starting to build is completely different from my own. You've gone for full automation strait away. I normally use the mini-miners to collect rescources without using power, instead I build storage containers and spend all my power on smelters and constructors to make far more items than fully automated can. This lets you rush the low level research very quickly.

52:34 you dont always have to enter the percentage for underclocking. you can also edit the target production rate field to set it to required amount per min. Not sure if you knew it already

@ashleymartin3260 8 ай бұрын

18:37 you don’t have to actually sever the line. If you grab a power pole from your hot key, aim it at the line connecting two poles, you can then drag and drop a second power pole, giving you 2 more connections.

This is by far one of the best video game videos I have seen. Nice cool calm voice with great emphasis when needed. Love the format with the speed ups and the cuts are not jolting and I love the little squigle so you know there was a cut. Then the visual representation after the builds is great too! I hope this serious continues!!

as someone who started in the exact same location, it’s a really efficient spot having the first 3 major resources in the same place really is a game changer. I find myself really lucky to have just stumbled across it in my first save. It makes it really hard for me to start a new save without just eventually making my way there before I start
