Starting a new series here, I needed something to fill the void after finishing Alien: Isolation. A friend of mine recently picked this up and was raving about it and I've played Factorio in the past and thought I would enjoy this too. So we're starting Satisfactory completely blind for the most part.

Satisfactory is a factory simulation game created by Swedish video game developer Coffee Stain Studios. It is a 3D first-person open world exploration and factory building game. The player, a pioneer, is dropped onto an alien planet with a handful of tools and must harvest the planet's natural resources to construct increasingly complex factories for automating all resource needs. The initial goal is to build a space elevator and begin supplying the company the player works for (FICSIT Inc.) with increasingly numerous and complex components for their unknown purposes. These exports unlocks new buildings, that makes the next export possible.

The player takes the role of an engineer who has been sent to the planet with orders to "colonize" it by building a factory complex for FICSIT. The player has a choice of four starting locations: the Grasslands, the Rocky Desert, the Dune Desert, or the Northern Forest. This choice affects the resources the player has access to in the early game and the amount of flat land available for easy building. However, the player can move to any other part of the map at any time. After landing, the player must salvage the landing pod for parts with which to construct the Hub, the main location from which most other construction will extend.

As the player unlocks new equipment, it becomes possible to automate more complicated tasks. The ultimate goals of the game are to build a fully automated factory that can manufacture any item without requiring the player's manual intervention and to deliver all required project parts to the Space Elevator. Higher-level machinery requires more power, so the player must research and build power systems including coal and fuel generators, and eventually nuclear power plants.

Exploration and combat are secondary gameplay elements. The player must fight hostile alien life forms and conquer hazardous environments in order to find valuable resources in the wilderness. A limited number of weapons and vehicles are available to make exploration easier.
