SATISFACTORY Update 8 - A PERFECT START! - Let's Play Ep.1

Satisfactory Update 8 Gameplay is out now on experimental and I'm starting a brand new series for the update! New Builds, Blueprints, Unreal Engine 5 and Features! This is one of my favourite games that I never have enough time for, so I'm hoping with this beginner friendly playthrough, we can work together to build a better tomorrow!

My boyfriend is obsessed with this game, and I have no idea what's going on, or even where the factory is, but this vid explains a lot! Thanks!

[TRPLD]

I have to say, I really appreciate the tutorial-esque nature of this episode. It's in depth enough to get a good understanding of what you need to do but doesn't lose itself in details! Great job!

The Minecraft music is so fitting for Satisfactory, I love it.

18:37 you don’t have to actually sever the line. If you grab a power pole from your hot key, aim it at the line connecting two poles, you can then drag and drop a second power pole, giving you 2 more connections.

52:34 you dont always have to enter the percentage for underclocking. you can also edit the target production rate field to set it to required amount per min. Not sure if you knew it already

[aaronhauth]

i had no idea you could complete multiple milestones at once at 24:00 . that's a game changer for early levels!

This is by far one of the best video game videos I have seen. Nice cool calm voice with great emphasis when needed. Love the format with the speed ups and the cuts are not jolting and I love the little squigle so you know there was a cut. Then the visual representation after the builds is great too! I hope this serious continues!!

[CoFloCipher]

Darren, you’ve become my favorite content creator over the years and I’m incredibly excited for this new series! Your technique and pacing are spot-on. Very well done 👏

[alenonimo]

52:14 Just like you can click on the percentage number to adjust, you can also click on the smaller production number to adjust. No need to calculate percentages.

I'm a pretty new player, about 16 hrs in so far, and just had to pause the video just after 2 minutes and say thank you so much for showing that there's a notes part of the to-do list! I'm starting to discover just how helpful the to-do list is for just adding buildings to it from the build menu but being able to set notes for myself is going to help so freaking much. Thank You!

[dnny]

This is honestly one of the best video formats I've seen.
The combination of the typical "Let's Play"-Style and also tutorial sections is very nice.

[TRPLD]

Yes Satisfactory is back! I'm so hyped, can't wait to see what you have planned.

[treycox]

I am really enjoying this series. I started as a new player about 2 days ago and couldn’t find a content creator that could teach the game. They all were very knowledgeable about the game, but videos moved at a pace a beginner couldn’t follow. Your style and delivery has benefited me a great deal. Well done.🙏

[VlatkoDojchinoski]

I'm thrilled that you've embarked on this new series! Just a few days ago, I shared your previous Satisfactory Update 7, and the Anno 1800 content with my wife. Your series was my absolute favorite to watch back then. Keep up the fantastic work!

[lambdaboss]

This was a superb tutorial. Thank you. It's really great to see such efficient and easy builds. They seem like a no-brainer when viewing them, but as a brand new player, they're much easier to learn from a video than to invest yourself. I also loved the little tip on underclocking and on trying to keep the power usage constant.

[iansh]

I not exactly a beginner with 700+ hours but still picked up a nice tip or 2, Thanks Darren

[EthanSmith-pjvp]

I’ve watched hundreds of videos and continue to get lost and lose the want to play cause I’m lost but this video right here made everything click for some reason, absolutely perfect

[kentslocum]

I love this format for a series; I've been dying to do a fresh restart, but afraid to lose all of my progress. This has encouraged me that it's not difficult to automate from the start.

[kentheknight]

I'm so excited for this one. I'm really interested to see you apply everything you learned from your previous playthrough from the beginning of this one! Thank you Darren!
