Why I Spent 500+ Hours Building Factories

I've spent the last few days documenting my thoughts on Satisfactory and wanted to give you a deep dive into why I've logged over 500 hours in this game. To help illustrate my points, I've included some clips from the developer's official trailers and other promotional videos. These clips highlight the atmosphere and gameplay that make Satisfactory so captivating. If you enjoyed the video, please like, comment, and subscribe for more content like this!

I've spent countless hours in Satisfactory telling myself "just one more minute to tidy up this assembly line..." Eight hours later, my alarm clock went off. 😂

I’m at 1200. It doesn’t stop. Still have never got to Phase 4.

For Most games, 500 hours is the amount of time you would need to 100% the game many times over.
For Satisfactory, 500 hours is the tutorial.

Howdy hi hi,
I just started on satisfactory myself. I bought the game a few years ago. Tried it a few times but just couldn't get into the game play at that time. Now it's taking up most of my free time.

i played around 1700hrs. and in every playthrough i discover something new. just love it

I have seen a lot of Satisfactory reviews or essays and gotta say few hit the nail on the head as this one, trying to carry over the spirit to potential non factory game players (And that in a pretty short amount of time). Well done :)

I Just looked through your channel and can I just say: What a hidden gem! Your channel is amazing and you deserve way more success man, keep it up and please keep giving us these beautiful, quality videos. ❤

I did approx 1400 hours during 1.5 years. Didnt get to nuclear. Then started a new play. Done 400 hours. Have small factories all over the map. I have 1 mod, Linear motion. Gives elevators. Love them. When 1.0 drops i will start over again. Find the game relaxing. Play for an hour every time i come home from work

[marcbennett]

you and me both! ive got 2000 hours and never quite finished across several saves. and I love the beauty of the early game. cant wait for 1.0!!!

[mrbfros]

I’m currently at 1, 600 hours with about 1, 000 hours in my first play through. By the time I was done with my first play through I had unlocked everything and got every achievement available. Very cool game, and I’m definitely looking forward to 1.0!

[samuelrobinowitz]

Nice vid! 285 hours here, and it feels like I played this game for an eternity, making truly monstrous factories and power plants.

[STRMTROOPR]

Such a good game. I have taken a break but I will definitely play again once 1.0 comes out. Great video btw

Satisfactory is like no other game when it comes to building your enviroment . The architect in me loves it :D

[gamertrem]

I started playing either as update 3 came out or just before it. I've built, rebuilt, and restarted probably a dozen times. This game really is a satisfying experience. The name of it couldn't have been better chosen. If you're on the fence about whether or not to get it, just get it. You wont be disappointed.

I've restarted Factorio countless times. I like the early game immersion going all the way back to Civ II. Once it gets tedious, I'm on to a new game. Once the map has been explored, that's the end of my patience.

[yofoot]

You have one of the best way of reviewing games

[Zaroff]

It’s one of my favorite games all time. Can’t wait to see what 1.0 will be and what else they do to this game down the road.

[creativecave]

I love simulation games or resource management games. and of course, factory games and satisfactory is my favorite. it's not as complex as the other ones I've played but the beauty of it is the customization. you can build factories with your own design. your imagination is the limit. seeing other's build will inspire you to build a version of yours. looking down on those monstrous factories you've built from scratch is just satisfying.

[Jumper]

Thousands of players have 1000+ hours in Satisfactory, and it is not even released yet, still in early access.

Until Sept 10 that is.

Planning another 1000 hours once the actual complete game is out.

@07:04 fun fact, in one of coffeestain videos, they said "we actualy never played satisfactory" . . . so, they never played it once.
