About: Satisfactory

Satisfactory is a first-person open-world factory building game with a dash of exploration and combat. Pioneering for FICSIT Incorporated means charting and exploiting an alien planet, battling alien lifeforms, creating multi-story factories, entering conveyor belt heaven, automating vehicles, and researching new technologies.
This Factorio like game has heavy automation, with automated mining, crafting, and you can even automate movement!

Perfect timing. I just finished my first aluminium factory using paper and a pen for all calculations, as the inline calculator did not have the alternative recipe I wanted to use.

[allanlarsen]

A simple thing, but also remember that you can also build vertical. You do not have to build everything on the same floor.
Can be an 'easy' way of scaling, simply to build an identical production floor on top and merge the output.

I’ve learned more in these 12 minutes than in my 30ish hours playing the game. Thank you sir, you’re a gentleman and a scholar.

[puddlefoot]

Thank you for this information. As a newly obsessed player of the game I often was frustrated with videos that just state the number of structures for a build but no mention of how those numbers were determined, now I know where to get that information for myself. This makes my game life much happier. Thanks again!

[shlomster]

Okay, this is an ESSENTIAL episode! Thanks, Tom!

[stormfireimastarcitizen]

Thank you for sharing this video with us and I will admit I haven't been playing the game at all lately. Because I've been too busy with other games that I've been playing as well as feeling my age and sleeping more since I'm not exactly young anymore.

Plus showing these tools that you were talking about intrigued me since I've never used them before and I will have to consider doing that sometime soon. Because I'm hoping in the next month or two to start up my own server and bring some of my friends online so we can play together.

In addition, for anyone else who is reading this I strongly urge you to use YouTube's safe feature to create a satisfactory guide and save this video to that guide since this gentleman provides a lot of useful and helpful information.

Also to the gentleman who creates this beautiful video I hope you and your wife are doing well and having a lot of fun since you were still newlyweds.

God bless to both of you and may you have many happy wonderful years together.

learning how to use the production planner was such a godsend for me. Can just easily figure out the perfect ratios and clockspeeds and build a factory for anything just gotta get all the materials it needs to it.

may be 3 months old but this is the vid I needed. I am new, around 27hours played and started with a friend ages ago but didnt get far, started again and didnt get far. Our stuff looked ugly. However my fellow nerdy friend got it and we wanted to make it look amazing. So we started planning stuff out and its already looking so much cleaner. Now this will help make it much look better overall.

Pointing out on the satisfactory tools site you can also edit the inputs including the available ore and set the output to maximize the available resources. For what your doing, set iron to 120 and industral beams to maximize, thus it'll the most efficient numbers.

[nicomiebach]

I needed this Video for so long, I even stopped playing the game because I was so frustrated because I had no Idea on how I should plan my builds. Very helpful Video. <3 I will probaply start playing again from now on.

[DistracticusPrime]

Grateful for any and all planning tips. Thanks!
1:50 For your next Heroic Replicas product placement, please use the "clank" noise instead of the "sip", because humor is the best marketing.

[theofficialfcq]

I swear, subscribing to you was the best idea in my entire life. I searched around all of youtube looking for a video like this; I couldn't thank you more for posting this.

[TheMrCurious]

Thank you for the video! Very helpful! Can you do a video on building the factories needed to build a train network? I have lots of spaghetti I am still trying to unwind, and I think dedicated factories and trains are the solution, but getting all the parts FOR the trains is my current biggest challenge. Thanks!

[manuelandrei]

lol forgot something at the end was a nice touch. No matter how much or how little you plan....Ops! Sometimes its a small ops and sometimes its a OPS!

[earlgrey]

I feel like using all those external tools takes the fun out of the game for me. Without the task of planning and designing stuff its just mindless hours of building after someone elses instructions.

[driverhd]

great step by stp guide. I would have liked see how you worked out the converbelts. But this should just be it for wishes ^^

[donaldpetersen]

Re-asking the same question I had on the last video, tips for vertical building. I have been building 2x3 on each level for effective splitter usage. Should I note any potential changes with the addition of smart splitters or mrk4+ logistics? Any design tips for industrial towers? I can't wait to replace the belt wall leading to them with a train.

[josiahkiehl]

What a coincidence, 2 of the 3 locations chosen are relevant in my current playthrough with my friends. Our hub is placed at the bottom of the crater with the nodes fueling some starting production lines. Then the 2nd place chosen with the lagoon in the forest is where we are currently building a massive coal power plant.

[stenmartens]

while this is a great episode i feel like the core game's design is what makes it difficult. you have shown here how to build a neat looking and functional factory based on what you need. but the problem with satisfactory i feel is that you never know what you're gonna need. and as long as you can keep on scaling what you already have that isn't a problem but i've found that that's increasingly difficult since you're going to require space which you didnt account for when buildling initially.
in my case we've built a factory to produce computers, then unlocked the aluminum tier and realized we were going to basically have to redesign the factory again because what we had wouldn't be scaling nicely towards supercomputers and turbo engines. i feel that this is the biggest difference between factorio and satisfactory where satisfactory of course isnt at all about aesthetics, but the building itself is much less of a hassle and you're rarely going to get so surprised that you'd have to redesign your entire factory again.

[JamesLynde]

Great video! I recently started playing, and planning had been my biggest hurtle 😁 Thank you!
