SATISFACTORY 1.0 RELEASE DATE (official) - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hZN1nM1jmd2cmY0.html&t Despite many players choosing this location to build their starter factory, it is by no means the best spot at all! Instead, you might want to choose one of the locations mentioned in this video. Thanks for all the support on the last 2 satisfactory vids. Expect A LOT more to come! (so subscribe!) Grab a snack and a drink, smash that like button on your way in. Enjoy! 😊

The grass fields in Satisfactory aren't that bad and I consider it home, I've been to the rocky desert and most of the other biomes apart from the pink forest. When the grass fields doesn't provide the resources I need it's no big deal, I simply pop over to another biome and belt the resource I want over to the grass fields, problem solved. In 650 hours I've put up lots of conveyor belts, if I ever restart Satisfactory I'll probably set up another factory in the grass fields.

If you are new to the game start in the green feilds. Alot of more experienced players forget what its like to be new to this game and how overwhelming it can be. So starting somewhere where the resource are limited and space is plentiful, as well as low level mobs is perfect for a new player to get their head around all the systems. As more experienced player its easy to forget that, especially if this is your first logistics game, which for many it will be, it can be alot to get your head around. figering out belt speeds, how much power you need and what the recpie ratios are best ect. Thats why it best to learn about all this stuff with low numbers. You will have to spread out mid game anyway so its not like you are stuck there. Its recommended as the beginner location for a reason.

im not sure what you mean by the northern forest isnt used much. its one of the most highly recommended starting locations, so much so that they are nerfing it for 1.0. my favorite starting location is the dune desert. but for my 1.0 save, im going back to the grassy fields. node purity isnt everything, I use the nodes I need to get the amount of resources I want. sometimes, an impure node is better for that. but the biggest reason I am starting in the grassy fields at 1.0 is pure nostalgia

Dont let some guy tell you where to start Greenfields is just as great if not better for a new player. New players dont need only pure nodes to start. New players dont need any oil to start. They need a reason to expand and a reason to spread out and thats the most aparent in the Greenfields. The couple times I started in the Nexus as a new player I never played long enough because I built everything in one place and then got overwhelemed when I actually needed to move. Powertowers are your friend they will make expansion in the early game easy and also dont be afraid to start building trains or roads even if you only have "temporary" factories they wont be as temporary as you might think at first.

Rocky Desert is my favourite start location 😃 Lots of normal and pure nodes allows huge production of basic materials to flood your belts and enough plant materials to get you towards unlocking coal power - automated power is a huge step

That forest is where I first started! It's very interesting as a first introduction. It's easy to run a tractor to the coal and caterium to the south. You can make a path to the oil and coal to the south too.

Dune Dessert is my go to. By the time you need Oil and bauxite you have the explorer or trains or hypertube cannons. The only thing that is far away is bauxite. It totally sucks walking up and down the dunes over and over again in the first few tiers but ultimately worth it as you have more pure nodes and I feel like it's easier to get only one or two mid-sized factories that give you all basic and advanced materials for Iron, Copper, Limestone, Caterium, Coal, Quarts, and Sulfur. Oil is just to the South and West. I just love it there. It also leaves a lot of choice locations for more complicated factories that come mid-late and in the late game untouched and ready for you to sculpt.

and "favorite location" has been nerfed :-P kudos for the APEX LEGENDS music though brings back memories

I completely disagree with you. Early game you don’t have good enough belts and miners to really utilize a full pure node anyway and once you do get better belts you can just easily expand to those western pure nodes without needing to tear down your factory to rebuild for your faster belts. Most KZfaqrs trash grass fields but I think it’s perfect for a good start… and it’s much prettier than dune desert. I end up all over the map on my play throughs anyway and would rather leave the pure nodes for my mid to late game factories when I actually need very high quantities of resources.

I have played through the game to the end with my factory in that location. It was tough, but doable.

Less than two minutes in this guy has convinced me to start in the grass fields.

So did this video not take in the recent map changes? The 'starting zone' as it were in the grassy fields is actually looking to be one of the better zones to play in. They're buffing most of the nodes here and adding new ones.

Thanks Pickle! You got my sub. Giddy Up!

I think it all comes down to playing style, Grassfields is great if one wants to build mega factory or spread out ealry and make use of trucks. Low purity nodes not to far from each other, easy terrain to build on, I can see both styles working here, trucking in everything to a mega factory or build modular ones and have some central storage to truck everyhting in (distances are too small for trains for most parts.) The enemies, mostly hogs, are also the ones easier to take down in CQB before Rifle becomes available. However from Tier 5 oh boy.... Long way to get oil in. I agree that for newbies it is the Dune desert. For me it will be Northern Forest. I was tempted by the Rocky Desert, but I want to make use of the new belt fed Biomass burners and skip Coal power completly go straight to Fuel Gens from Biomas/Geothermal.

Huh.. Well how about that.. Brand new player here, about a week now. So.. Guess where I started at?? OF Course I'm right down there in the Grassy Fields!! Hahahaha!! I'm just at the point of looking around to see where I'm going to setup my Steel Factory now. I'll probably Truck, or belt in the steel to my factory in THE GRASSY FIELDS!! Heh.. Good video! I'll probably start out in a different spot when I restart for 1.0. Thanks for this!!

the rock desert with the nuclear rocks added in update 8 area is the better then most of the spots aka single waterfall area with the coal factories built into the cliff i did to 800hr runs on a two meah pcs, in that area its classed as the swamp corridor in update 8 so an on steam in game it kept saying lurking in the swamps with login to messenger also the game gone you play shows in messenger or if you lurk in main menu screen so you can find people by that info too in mp.

I think if you consider a starter base as relatively temporary - that is, not going to be where you hang out in mid and late game - Grass Fields is an excellent option, just because you can get an ample supply of iron, copper, limestone and coal all within comfortable running distance of each other. If you're looking for a spot to call home until the late game, the Crater Lake is excellent, just 'cause it has all those things in ample supply plus buttloads of oil. Caterium and quartz up the hill a bit.

I live in the Jungle, i stay in the Jungle.

I am curious for making a mega base, why no one ever recommends starting in the North west corner of the map and making a mega base over all that water? I get that alot of stuff would have to be in by train eventually, but the sheer amount of flat space you could use with foundations strikes me as huge.

The apex music 💀

0:08 I didn’t know there would be zombies

why the sh*t apex music its satisfactory its a good game

Whats the point of this video? With so many ways to deliver resources to you main storage base, there no difference where it will be exactly, just build at most pleasant view area.

a comment for the algorithm :3

I started my newest safe in that exact location you showed. A bit to the south there is a lot of space for building a mod frame fab and to the south east theres a lot of iron and coal for steel

Why is your view fish eyed? Is it just from the recording? My game dosen't look like that.

Your thesis is crap. My 9 bunched up impure iron nodes run errands around your single or dual pure node. There's so much beginners material there - and plenty of it if you combine the spattered nodes. Also there's caterium and Oil quite reachable towards the west.

Finishing the vid, thanks for all the info and I’m def starting in the titan forest. Thanks!

I've started in the Northern Forrest on my Sunday safe, great location, especially for vertical building styles

porque a musica do apex no video??

Release my people and i myself will carry you through the gates of valhalla , shiny and chrome , new sub great vid

I will agree that the dune desert is actually the easiest place to start. You don't even have to travel very far until you get to oil. However, it's kind of boring and ugly. I also agree that the grass fields is not good for starting, but not because of the nodes, it's because sulfur and especially quartz are really far away. That makes getting the blade runners early very hard to do. The rocky desert has this problem too. There is quartz in the area, but not easy to get to early game -it's deep in spider-infested caverns (I always play with aggressive mobs, too much challenge removed otherwise) that you need nobelisk to get into. Northern forest is just too much pain to build in, and now it's being nerfed. I think I may start my 1.0 playthrough in the dune desert and then expand west through the northern forest and into the rocky desert. Instead of trying to keep everything relatively close, I want to try to spread it out as much as possible. The only thing I'm concerned about is the two quartz nodes way up in the northern part of the dune desert. They don't say anything about removing them, but they also aren't shown on the map of nodes for the area. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

what a load of rubbish. 1.0 played here no problem at all.

If you’re gonna beg for likes and subs, wait until the end. Not in the first two minutes before even getting to the point of the video.
