There are no limits to your factory
What does the gameplay in Satisfactory look like? To build your factory, you first need to gather enough resources. At the beginning, you only have simple tools available to collect natural building materials from your surroundings while getting to know the planet better.
During your exploration tours, you will sooner or later encounter extraterrestrial life. Along with alien flora, you will meet aggressive creatures that will attack you. However, with crafted safety gear, you can manage combat situations in the game.
Over time, you won’t need to complete the tours on foot anymore, but you can use different means of transportation in the game, such as:
- Jump pads
- Factory carts
- Jetpacks
- Hyperloops
- Trucks
- Trains

Gradually, you will expand your factory further so that the manufacturing and processing processes become increasingly automated, allowing you to expand further.
How exactly your construction should look is up to you. You can build well-structured facilities where you receive your end products neatly sorted or create chaotic conveyor systems that connect your outposts to the base.
You can play the game both alone and with up to three other people in cooperative mode. This gives you the opportunity to showcase your factory creations to others or hunt for resources together.

- StolleJay | Daniel: ‘I knew Factorio but could never really get into it. Probably because of the 2D top-down view. From the moment Satisfactory first emerged in Early Access, it captivated me […]’.
- Demian DeVile: ‘A truly dangerous game. You just want to try something for a couple of hours in the evening because you have an idea of how something could be designed more efficiently, then you look outside and it’s noon the next day […]’.
- MrGoodkat: ‘Satisfactory is probably one of the factory games after Factorio, with the difference being a first-person view and a beautiful, high-resolution world.
I have been loyal to Satisfactory for years (2000+ hours), and despite being in Early Access, this game has continued to expand, with content updates usually exceeding expectations […]’.
