One full release after another is being presented to us in 2024 and Satisfactory is now one of them. Find out what awaits you in the Satisfactory 1.0 version and what you can discover and do in the popular factory building simulator in the GPORTAL blog.

What is Satisfactory about?

In Satisfactory, a game first released in 2019, you start out on a huge planet that is completely unexplored. You enter a giant sandbox that consists mainly of exploration, automation and strategy. It doesn't matter whether you are new to Satisfactory or an old hand who has long since left his first factories behind him: for players who enjoy automation, strategic thinking and exploration at the same time, Satisfactory is just the thing.

Your job as an employee of FICSIT Inc. is to work on the big project, so you have to scour the new planet for all kinds of resources to create machines that produce a wide variety of parts. Create fully automated product lines that produce complex parts and steer them ever closer to the goal of Satisfactory. In addition to the whole topic of strategy and automation, you can of course also incorporate your own personality and ideas, because regardless of whether you want to build at lofty heights or on a large area - there are virtually no limits to your own creativity.

In addition to all the thoughts you have to give to development and strategy, Coffee Stain Studios has also thought about other areas in Satisfactory. The world in the factory building simulator is quite large and offers you an incredibly exciting open world that you can and should explore. Various biomes with individual materials and adventures await you. Exploring the planet is essential if you want to get better and better and advance your production, as this is the only way to gain access to additional resources that open up new paths. You will also discover the local creatures, but you should be careful, because in Satisfactory they are not only well-intentioned, but often also quite dangerous for you and your factories. So don't just invest in progress, your safety and that of your production is also important.

The core of the Satisfactory game mechanics

  • Discover and collect resources: As already mentioned, collecting resources is simply indispensable in Satisfactory. Without all the materials and, above all, finding new materials, you will quickly find yourself standing in one place and unable to make any progress
  • Automation: The more resources you find and collect, the better the automation of your production will work. Your products will become increasingly complex and you will use conveyor belts and machines to move and process objects as quickly as possible
  • Exploration: Satisfactory is not really a survival game, but you have to be prepared for the possibility of one or two creatures appearing that pose a danger to you, especially during exploration tours. Defense should therefore still play an important role and, of course, the expansion and continuous improvement of your factory
  • Management and logistics: Of course, management also plays a major role in Satisfactory, because what do such huge machines need to function? That's right: energy. You can obtain this from cheaper materials, especially at the beginning, but the further your game progresses, the more energy your machines naturally need and you should therefore never lose sight of this point - after all, you don't want your production to come to a standstill. The last point to mention is logistics. Ensure smooth processes by using pipelines, efficient delivery and a regulated flow of materials

Tips for getting started in Satisfactory

We can totally understand that when you look into Satisfactory for the first time and are faced with this huge mammoth task, it can certainly be overwhelming. All the possibilities and the sheer size of the world can easily make you feel lost at first. We'll give you a few tips for your first few hours in Satisfactory:

  • How could it be otherwise, of course the first thing you should do is start collecting resources, keeping an eye on copper and iron in particular. You can use these two materials to produce your first tools and machines, which will form the basis of your future factory
  • As soon as you have launched your first production lines, you should ensure that they are automated as quickly as possible. This will give you an overview of how to expand your factory and allow you to focus on further research
  • Reach further milestones to ensure that you constantly have access to new machines, tools and skills. This is particularly important, because with further expansion and more progress, you will eventually reach your goal and thus also make things easier for you in your factory
  • Make sure you have a constant supply of energy. In the beginning, you will have to laboriously refill your generators manually and constantly keep an eye on the energy supply. Make sure that you can switch to other energies as quickly as possible so that this point also runs automatically

Highlights and functions of the Satisfactory 1.0 version

  • Endgame content: Phase 5 and Stage 9 introduce quantum technology and a variety of new items, all tied to completing Project Assembly
  • Balanced Stage 4: The final requirements for Stage 4 have been adjusted to more realistic values, making it easier to complete
  • Natural story integration: A non-intrusive storyline has been implemented that improves immersion without interrupting the gameplay of factory building
  • Achievements: Achievements will finally be available, with challenges ranging from milestones to meme-worthy tasks. However, achievements will not be applied retroactively to older game saves
  • Alternative Recipes: A streamlined system for alternative recipes now allows easier access via a dedicated MAM tab and offers more control over research and rerolls

These changes bring fresh and exciting challenges and build on the foundation that players helped refine during the Early Access phase.
