It's very addicting just to walk through a giant factory thinking "I made this" ^_^

As an industrial engineer student i fell like home while playing satisfactory , managed to put 1000 hours in the game , the last 300 hours were more building nice structures to encase my factories . It just never gets old . THE FACTORY MUST GROW !!!! 😀

"It's a very relaxing game." Yeah, and then you hear a fuse blow and you stare in disbelief at your 80 diesel generators, 6 nukular power plants and all the coal thingies... This game gave me a whole new kind of phobia 😀

I recently discoverer X4 Foundations. It's also automation, but in a space simulation setting. Where you end up with a factory producing ships for your carrier fleet. While you can manually pilot a ship and teleport between ships in battle.

I got this game because a friend of mine was playing it and I decided to give it a try and now I have 2 full time jobs. My real job and now my factory job, WTF?? But in all honesty I am now fully addicted and really glad I picked this game up and can't wait for the 1.0 release.

Only 95 subscribers so far? You should have more, lots more. These are the things I like about your vids compared to all others out there: - The camera shows the GAME (subject matter), not your pretty face talking to the camera about the game (I despise talking heads in videos) - You speak fast, and intelligibly - You cover so much in fast video clips that aren't possible to describe using words in less than an hour 👍

A couple thousand hours in myself... seeing the quartz clip the cliff side "passable" then seeing your manufacturer belt clippage filled me with rage ahahaha.

This game is just insane. It is one heck of a sandbox. You can go totally casual and relaxed or full on OCD insanity. It looks incredible either way and runs great! Great commentary Ventix.

Never tried Satisfactory (yet) but have 1,000's of hrs in Factorio and Dyson Sphere. I'm somewhat interested in giving it a try, especially after the 1.0 release is due to come out sometime in the near future (writing this comment on 4/21/24). Satisfactory looks really super good in the 3-D Unreal-5 graphics engine and I really like that. Thanks for this video on Satisfactory - Well Done Dude!

Your last part is the reason i fell in love with satisfactory, its relaxing. Its easy going. I can fight monsters if i want, but if i don't i can just relax turn a podcast on and vibe.

Dont give up on yt! You got a great start so far, hope you expand a bit over the next few weeks...

Well done my guy! Fantastic video!

The worst thing is that recent patches broke LOD distance and factory tick. I always look to far away machines and cant see them working so I think there is no fuel etc or they loose a lot of detail.

idk how I found this video, but well done my dude!

I wish there were more decorations and stuff like that in the game. But it is one of my favorite build systems. And I'd rather have satisfactory build mechanics than all the options that fallout 4 out 76 offer. Like valheim is the only build system I like more... And I was just wishing I could automate the resource gathering like I can in satisfactory. This is def the cozy game I return to.

You definitely deserve more than the 350 subs you currently have. You are every bit as good as the Bitzes (Bitz and ImKibitz) at the game.

that conveyors clipping... Good vide btw :D

nice video again. I hope you gain a lot of subscribers with your content

The game definately has it's ups, but it also has its downs. My biggest downer is how overwhelming the game can get. Usually practice helps with this issue, but the closer you progress to phase 4, the more complex and time consuming it gets. I never finished phase 4, and don't plan to until 1.0 launches. I do miss the playing the game though. The visuals are great, and I love seeing the builds people make.

Just saw the other video, and came and watched this one. The quality is great for a small channel, which is probably why you've grown so much in the past month since the original video. Congrats on the success, and I'm looking forward to more videos in the future! :D

Another great video keep them coming!

I bought it less than a week ago and already have 65 hours in it 😂 I've struggled to find games recently that I can actually enjoy and this ticked a lot of boxes.

Nice video! Keep them coming!

MY personal theory about automation as a genere is just that it never feels like you are at a good "break point" sure you may have just unlocked a annoying milestone in satisfactory, but look, now you get tier 3 conveyors and miners mk2, do you really wanna leave without trying your new toys? and i mean... it is only really trying if you can automate them at least a little. and the circle continus until its 5 am. Satisfactory however always had one thing few other Automation games offer to me. Understandable numbers. sure i might get a 4 lane stacked steel belt with 270 items throughput each, but what am i using that for? like 15 stators a minute 60 steal beams a minute and some other small numbers in different things. Comapare that to factorio where the average item stacks to 100 and the average train carries 4k per wagon in a system that runs a multible trains per minute. The smaller amount of production per space makes it feel... less dauting even if there are difficulties. However i will always stay true to factorio for the endless amount of customizeability and the existence of a super solid logic system

Satisfactory is the game with the highet ROI I ever got. For the amount of playtime, this game is sooooo cheap. Waiting for 1.0 to start a fresh game.

yeah man indeed, awesome game ! and the communication between the developer and the community is so qualitative ^-^

500hs solid mid game territory

Satisfactory makes me feel productive while not being productive at all.

In my case, I'm at 866h so far... and I probably spend half the time trying to make my buildings as decent as possible.

i realy like your the style of vidoes you are making if you would stream I would defenetly wach ot

i got like 1k hours in Satisfactory and i don't even have a mega base (i did started many times again bc of the updates)

Great video and I definitely agree with all these points, but I have a question…did you *breathe* at all while recording? I was out of breath just listening to you lol.

Hi, one question. How do you place platforms in a straight line like that? Is this a mod?

cant wait about your opinion after you finally adventure the factory games specially AFTER you played dyson sphere program, lol

I have put over 200+ hours into the game... I gave it a fair chance.... but I hated it. It takes ages to get anything done... the distances.... the lack of terrain tools... lots of things don't properly align... the awful GUI.... the extremely limited blueprint system... no wonder why people often install mods (which is risky) in an attempt to fix some of these flaws. Building in Satisfactory feels like trying to paint your house with a toothbrush.

Very nice vidéo for a very nice game

You should do a Satisfactory LP series!

Good Promo. Its worth to let the world know ^^

Do you have satisfactory streams/vods? I am looking for a really good satisfactory let's play

Counterpoints for me specifically: Satisfactory has way too much jank that gets in the way for me. * Power system is inaccurate; producing 50mw is not enough to satisfy a grid that takes 50mw and blows the fuse. * Speed modules are non-automatable, which is fine for resources you transition out of early on like wood in factorio or biomass in this, but something as useful as speed modules should be automatable. * Enemies are roadbumps and exist for the sake of having enemies. They add nothing to the game, though I've heard rumblings they're working on adding wave-defence like in Factorio or DSP. * Not building top-down hurts a lot and slows the game to a crawl, relative to other games. The snap system requires you to consistently break out hacks and tricks to get curves or non-grid shapes. * Smaller point; you can't see what recipes a building's making without interacting with it. * Blueprints feel like a crime towards other blueprint mechanics, factorio & DSP both have an excellent system for this, but Satisfactory's blueprint doesn't even snap with itself; you have to manually add power & belts. * Vehicles & their programmable paths are a really cool concept but just end up being janky; they basically admit the system isn't good enough by making them phase through terrain if they get stuck (which they do, even when they really shouldn't be getting stuck). * Rail pieces behave stupidly, with some corners/bends not being possible unless you chop it in two. Trains as well seem inflexible but that's obviously with me coming from factorio where a M:M system is more than possible in vanilla. (Arguably trains being inflexible is not the end of the world and maybe a bit too demanding) In your video you adress efficiency as something that makes satisfactory awesome, which I hope you don't mean *only* satisfactory. Personally as well, I don't really like the open world aspect; i feel like it distracts too much from the factory building portion. Though I know there's plenty of people disagree with this, so I don't mind as much. It just feels like the game does not really respect the time you put in, other games have tools that let you build more factory, faster, but satisfactory really doesn't. Besides the budget blueprint system. Despite the janky requirement to use tricks and hacks, building is just fun and I agree with that point fully. I feel like a lot of the points you've made apply to other automation games too, if not more.

My OCD doesn’t let the spaghetti happen Edit: you also earned my sub

What I don't get is why this doesn't click with me. I love factorio and DSP. I love the blueprints. Satisfactory feels tedious, because the blueprinting is basically not available (too limited to be useful to me). BUT I do love stationeers, which is on a whole different level of tedium than satisfactory. Somehow satisfactory falls in this inbetween zone, between convenience and scale, and the tedium mattering to make the simulation feel deep. I tried getting into it a couple times but I keep bouncing off. It keeps puzzling me. I occasionally click such videos to see if it gets me excited, but somehow it doesn't work.

Nice! I need to check how many hours I've spent in the game...

the clipping and spaghetti and the 4 minute mark😭

Im literally playing it while seeing this video the last fact couldnt be more real jajajjajjaa

it's awesome right until you need todo tier 5 and 6 "mats" - then it become extremely tedious with mass production being slow and the need for so many bolts. and don't get me started on aluminum production.

i might have to hop on againnnnnnnnnnnnn i put like 30-40 hours into it but sorta got burnt out. How do you recommend i get started again?

I just don't think it isn't "the most", because IMHO it is repetitive in terms of every playthrough, the same resources, places, etc are in the same place. I miss procedural generation to make every run unique. This is my take. I know the game have beautiful graphics and the spaghetti can make this look awesome, but once I play once, the the ones will be the same regardell of how many variation of building styles I make in each location.

I have 600 hours into Satisfactory and have yet to launch a rocket 😔

W video

1800+ hrs ingame. 🤪

Value for your money nothing beats this game. Mid-priced game with many players hitting over 1000 hours gameplay. Cents per hour. Even most "free to play" games are more expensive with micro transactions.

While I agree with all of your points I don‘t see how Satisfactory does them better than Factorio. Especially after Oil production Satisfactory becomes pretty tedious, because you need massive factories but still have to build lots of things individually. While Factorio manages to bridge the gap with Construction Robots, who build stuff for you and make increased scales not increasingly tedious.

I need more help

Hey ! I completely agree with you Ventix. Although, man. You talk fast. too fast ! Waaaaaaay too fast. The downside of playing a game that exciting !

bro them crates

Sub number 438

Nice video, but there is some popping on your mic, especially around 1 minute, makes the sound a bit annoying.

Overrated game: Steep learning curve: the game's mechanics and UI overwhelm at first. Performance issues: lag, crashes, and other technical problems. Limited building options: restricted by the game's building mechanics and lack of customization options. Repetitive gameplay: the gameplay loop of gathering resources and building structures is repetitive and boring. Unreliable multiplayer: the game's multiplayer is highly unreliable. Hostile creatures: the game's hostile creatures can be too aggressive and frustrating. Resource scarcity: some resources are too scarce, making progression too slow. Limited vehicle options: lack of more vehicle options and customization choices. Limited exploration: the game's world is too small and lacks diverse biomes to explore. Lack of NPC interactions: lack of interaction options between NPCs No endgame content: the game lacks content and challenges for experienced players. Limited blue-print system: the game lacks a more useful blue-print system Transport systems lack polish: bugs, poor features or lacking features Bugs and glitches: many frustrating bugs and glitches that hinder their progress.

satisfactorytools is better

Does not work on Linux. Pathetic

great video love the content. (Future let’s play?)
