Satisfactory Guide

An open-world factory builder in which you construct huge factories in first person. Gather resources on an unfamiliar planet and connect multistory production sites with conveyors. Exploration and combat are also included. Developed by Coffee Stain Studios, fully released as 1.0 on September 10, 2024. Japanese is supported.

The viewpoint and dimensions differ. Factorio designs lines on a 2D plane; Satisfactory centers on building in three dimensions from a first-person perspective. Stack floors, separate levels, and route belts vertically. Dividing roles between floors is easier to organize than packing everything onto one plane, and this spatial design is part of the appeal.

Use milestones as your guide. Delivering materials to the HUB and unlocking milestones makes new building materials, machines, and transport available. When stuck, check what the next milestone needs and build production lines for those materials as the shortest way forward.

Yes. Play solo or with friends. Dividing roles between maintaining production lines and exploring for resources or expanding the base noticeably speeds up progress.

With a first-person viewpoint, travel distance itself is a cost. Preparing vehicles and vertical routes such as lifts and roads early changes the practical pace of work considerably. Consider how you will walk through a factory while designing it.
