Today I'm looking at where I believe the best starting location will be for Satisfactory 1.0 though I must stress that this could all change at a moments notice depending on any information we receive prior to 1.0

I decided before the node changes were announced, that I was going to start in the grassy fields. mostly for nostalgia reasons.

[Seanovan]

Rocky Desert is my favorite starting location. I got so much wood off the ground there, that I don't bother getting a chainsaw before getting to coal power. Hoping it's still that way in 1.0. To me, the starter base exists to rush through the early game to unlock coal power. After unlocking coal power, I slow down and start building more organized permanent setups.

[hunterrliese]

I will still start in the Dunes. In my opinion, it is the best place to start for people who have played this game before. The amount of space and resources is insane. The biggest downside being lack of oil, and the sand dunes. I always end up having my factories fairly high up because of the dunes.

The Rocky Desert has been a pain to deal with until you get coal power, and setting it up all the way in the bamboo forest was it's biggest downside. Now, with the pure nodes and the coal right on the coast (no more jamming water extractors into small rivers in the bamboo forest), in addition to all the flat land, it's an easy best. Still probably gonna start in the grass fields though just cuz I like plains-style biomes.

Please stop it with the 1.0 😅 its hard enough waiting for it!

[donaldpetersen]

Dunes 1000% Always regret starting anywhere else to the point of restarting.

Rocky Desert looks promising~ Being able to get as far as oil before sprawling is basically the definition of a perfect starter base.

The big problem I've seen with 1.0 starter location videos are the sheer number of people who include basically the whole south of the map as your 'starter' location when talking about the grassy fields.

So I very much appreciate this video being "this easily accessible corner of a biome". Because realistically, you do not want to be crossing an entire biome pre logistics.

Grasslands for me cause it's the closest Starting Point to where I like to place my Real Base when I get strong enough to start building it.

[johnb]

when 1.0 drops you should go back to all those speculation videos and see how much you got right

[alexanderwelshwelsh]

Definitely gonna start in the grass fields, itll be nice to spawn where i first started for the 1.0 save

[Ashley-rybr]

With quartz being more available in the grassy fields now, I feel like its become much more viable for 1.0, especially with the new train changes.

[AugmentedGravity]

My home is in the grassy fields. All my homies like grassy fields.

[arctic.wizard]

The rocky desert is my favorite starting spot, period, and I was already planning to pick it for 1.0.

[fibonaccino]

I'm thinking about starting in the Blue Crater because not only is it such an interesting area but its one of the regions i've explored the least. And looking at all the ore changes, I'm suspecting that 1.0 will bring additional starting zones and the Blue Crater will be one of them.

[lordazlan]

Love you man. 1, 300 hours in the game and could easily have doubled it but I paid for other games as well. Love your videos and they have helped me although I suspect you might be playing in the future (version 100 in 2055) as I can never replicate any of your designs and ideas. But it is inspirational!!

[Boiling_Seas]

I rather like starting in a place with more impure nodes rather than pure ones. Use the better nodes only when the tech is right and I can build a proper factory to use them.

[arctech]

To the video topic: Given the current changes we know now and also not knowing the story related resources (SAM ore / collectables), I think the Rocky Desert/Savannah is the best starter location for most players as well. Flat terrain, buff to coal with additional advanced resources, and quick access to other biomes, makes it a great corner to create a starter or mega factory.

Note: I'm sharing the below as a different perspective on how to tackle the early game because sometimes the "worst" starter location can be the best for your use case.

Rocky Desert was my first location in my first playthrough (mega factory), so I have fond memories. I personally decided to start in the Northern Forest in 1.0 because its not a perfect location. My plan is to get through the early tiers (Unlock Oil) in the Northern Forest and then transition to the West coast (Rocky Desert -> Grassy Fields) for my first real builds using nice designs (having unlocked needed items). While I work on my auto storage facility in the grassy plains, I'll have access to the crater lakes, NW rocky desert coal, and the coal location north of the grassy plains for three coal plants (at least 1 including compacted coal). Then use the gold coast for fuel and turbo fuel power (packaged also). My first nuclear build (12 reactors) will then be in the rocky desert using the remaining rocky desert and savannah resources.

I can't wait for 1.0

Ima miss my old save, been through a lot on it I prob tore down everything in my world and redid it like 3 times but I like how it looks now. This is my tism game

[adn_]

I've just started a speed run playthrough there as a test for 1.0 and even as it is it's still a great place to work in, you've got everything you need to get to nuclear power just within a few km of the general starting area and so far I have made it to aluminium without having to venture all that far from the rocky desert itself.

I've got a plan for a nuclear plant using the 1 impure uranium node and the surrounding items to get myself about 30, 000 MW of power which should be just enough to automate everything I need for the phase 4 space elevator parts and again, I generally haven't gone much farther than the rocky desert aside from a few adventures on the northern and western coast for some additional resources like oil and power slugs

[sneezyfido]

The only start location is the main menu! 🤭

Still, anticipation is a very fun stage of a game.
