STOP! building box factories and beautiful factories

Finding inspiration is hard and it can be even harder to figure out how to use that inspiration to build beautiful factories. I use a pretty simple system that helps me and hopefully will help you create beautiful builds in game.

If this does help you please let me know by commenting or dropping a like on the video.

Or why not come join me over on Twitch to watch me build some big beautiful factories.

wow, very inspirationnal.

For the 1.0, I not only want to play the game for the story (and for satisfaction of making a factory, obviously), I want to make a beautiful modular factory where I will show the evolution of it in a video.

So I am training myself on update 8 to try making functional factories that are also beautiful.
For the functional, it's ok (still work to do, but I got the idea), but I didn't manage making it beautiful yet.

I will try to use your advise to do something interesting.

Thanks

You make some great stuff man! you deserve more recognition!

Hey Scratch thank you for taking the time to to do this. I too am pushing my self to slow down and ask what is my main purpose. I like the challenge of building low to the ground and letting the resources dictate what I will build there. I was inspired by Skullynyc when I first started playing this game because he let the geography determine the shape of his factories. On my nuclear reactor site I built all the buildings with the same architecture all connected with a one way street to make it look like it was all one facility. That was my secondary feature. I need to be more purposeful on developing an entryway, defining hallways better, and making the stairs look great whether they are metal or concrete. Recently while I am decorating I turn on lumen and I am playing around with the uplighting and also downlighting on certain features. Stin and Fluxo are my inspirations too! Thanks brother!

industry goes
also realty inspires art
to see something in everyday live and make something beautiful because of it

Great job. Jace would be proud. I bet Snutt and Michale sre impressed.

Really impressed with these builds! Criminal that your subscriber count is so low! Hopefully when 1.0 releases there will be a bigger demand for satisfactory videos. Can see you doing well with this kind of quality content!

Great to hear your thought process around these builds, but you'd benefit massively from a better mic set up! Look forward to seeing more of your builds!

Pretty good video! But I feel like you could have explained what a primary/secondary "focus" is at the beginning. I had to guess its meaning throughout most of the video and it was used a lot

I just could never play like this. My primary focus is and always will be min-maxing. Spending time and ressources on creating a building just will never happen. Tho, that's also why i dont like Satisfactory. No replayability since the map and nodes are static. The optimal way to do things wont ever change. I last played several years ago and still dont think i will ever replay it tbh. Especially considering how much of a laggy, buggy and crashy mess it was in coop back then.
