I released episode two of the Satisfactory Let's Play series! If you liked this video, please check it out! It gets even crazier 😁 czcams.com/video/mILUg4Gkrx8/video.html
when you get access to paint right click on a color and you can chose to build in that color until you change it it makes building mass projects a lot less of a hassle if and when you need to debug a production line
It's weird seeing an untouched world again that I've long since ruined with nests of conveyer belts and a concrete monstrosity of a factory that dominates the landscape for miles around.
Ive played through several new saves and I think simplicity with the logistics is my preference. I usually stay minimal until I unlocked the good stuff and skip the whole early tier sprawl and spaghetti, then i go crazy.
I am here because you, Sir, are very likable. The smooth way you are presenting your videos goes beyond what they are about. At least thats how i feel about it. Thanks
I totally understand your hesitation. It’s a pretty long game. Honestly it’s all entertaining, especially your “firsts” (first space elevator shipment, first lizard doggo, etc). I’d be fine with offline play and maybe quick factory tours on stream before you embark on a quest of some sort. That could be fun.
Or maybe record all the “firsts”, then make cuts with factory building / optimization. Similar for exploring. Film the first discoveries, then make cuts for discovered unique things
these days I play it to have fun, not to grind... so I cheat past the research using as small a base as possible, then once I'm done set up a proper megafacility spanning as much of the map as possible before FPS sucks. Sadly I tended to build a gigantic oil and fuel complex over the water in the area where the new stuff was added... so had to start over with update 6.
Enjoy your journey! Pro-tip for handcrafting stuff: Select the item you want to craft and then just press spacebar once. That will make it auto-craft that item until you select another. Much more convenient than having to hold mouse click.
@@rushi5638 it is cool that even though you played 200 hrs there is so more to learn. I have 90 hrs and still learning what feels like the entire game somedays
600 hrs in and I have a dedicated uranium mining and pickup train haulage line (it used to run on a passenger network but the 'glowy hurty train of death' would kill me when it passed), a vanity pyramid which I made far too big but since I'd committed to building it so I dedicated 3 weeks of game time completing (it takes 2 minutes to slide down), a pipe network so fast that it ignores psychics and a factory so cluttered that it'll take hours to reacclimatize where everything is come the next update. I love this game.
@@zigrakudo4092 I had an issue where I was producing far too much fuel, instead of swapping up production I circled the entire map with a road and had as many trucks and tractors travel around it as possible, it may come in useful later or just be a horrific waste of time and resources, Josh of 'lets game it out' has completely skewed my idea of how this game should be played.
yeah, i have built a train station in a kind of valley nearby and the ray's flying path accidentally clipped into it, so we could start the ride from the top of the train station. But it seems like the path varies a little bit, so it's better to build a bit of a bigger structure to get on reliably :D

Man, even if you are not that well known, your vids are really good, like at first glance I thought you were 1 of those CZcamsrs with half a million subs that does great reaction videos, but then got surprised about your actual channel's state. So ye, really good stuff, keep it up!
29:00 When you were reacting to Josh's LGIO videos and kept mentioning about how you like Tiers and Progression, I already knew you were gonna get sucked into this game. There's also a research bench as well as more stuff to make through the AWESOME Shop.
Most of it is base building though. Early game is crafting a lot by hand but your basically at the point where you should be having miners->smelters->constructors to build everything you need. The main trick is setting it all up with splits to feed one miner into multiple constructors to automate making all the different items. The down/boring time would be gathering all that biomass which if you have the recipe I recommend processing into a sort of refined biomass, i forget what it's called, because you get more fuel from it. Once you get coal power and can automate power though the hassle of biomass goes away. Also potential downtime is just waiting for the automated constructors to finish if you don't have a fast through put on them. The other potential interesting part is exploring as there are lots of wrecks around which you can gather tech from to unlock new recipes. So roaming around the map either on foot or vehicle could be interesting depending on what you stumble across. My recommendation is stream the building of base with setting up automation of production. have your constructors feed into storage containers then let them game run a bit offline so you have plenty of supplies to unlock things and further base building on next stream. But do the actually unlocking on stream as you like the sounds and there a nice satisfying sound and visuals when you unlock tiers with the space elevator.
A comment, for the algorithm! But seriously, I always enjoy watching someone new start playing Satisfactory, and over time realizing the game's scope as tiers are unlocked.
I would love to see your process for unlocking all the things, since as tiers advance that becomes some of the main gameplay, plus it's fun to see people figure things out for the first time!
My suggestion for a lets play is to montage "special moments" from when you're grinding out the various unlocks off-stream, like when you encounter and tame your first lizard doggo or stumble into an interesting area during off stream exploration so we can get your first reaction. I can understand cutting out 2-6 hours of crafting and planning then dumping that footage to save on storage space. That way you can dedicate the stream towards "Okay, today we're going to setup a copper mining outpost and send it back to our base." or "Today we're going to make a logistics network." type content. Also a fun tip: You can run calculations in the search bar so you don't need to have a separate calculator open for some quick math.
Almost the entire time your in game it will be base building, optimizing, or exploring to get more to build more. Offline you could definetly do planning and exploring setting up power lines to new places or just letting the game run in the background to build up resources. Even with 100% efficient builds, some things like reinforced plates only produce at 5/min and you need hundreds to thousands for belts. You will have no shortage of things to do, especially once you get foundation.
If you "wait for materials" you are missing a vital point: you should be making more factories producing the materials you need... 10 factories building reinforced iron plates produce 50 plates/min...
Really happy you're doing a playthrough of this game! I found your channel through your reaction vids, and I've been looking forward to see how you play it.

Whether we wanted it or not, we've stepped into a war with the Cabal on Mars. So let's get to taking out their command, one by one. Valus Ta'aurc. From what I can gather he commands the Siege Dancers from an Imperial Land Tank outside of Rubicon. He's well protected, but with the right team, we can punch through those defenses, take this beast out, and break their grip on Freehold.
hahahaha, that moment you realized how big the game was. You had no idea what you were getting yourself into! XD I've put almost 600 hours into my first save file and I'm 100% going to do it all over again when 1.0 comes out. Best game ever for us software devs. I encourage you to keep playing, even if it's off-stream.
Important tip for you: 1. 1 constructor/assembler per item at normal speed is more than enough, it might seem slow, but it will build up faster than you think 2. Always switch to the fastest conveyor belt and miners, but don't need to change previous ones used in your production(everything after the first smelter/constructor), only upgrade belts with ore and miners 3. Automate as many items as soon as possible, no matter how hard they are 4. Build with foundations and multiple floors, but don't have multiple floors for 1 item 5. Build everything to be multiplied by 100. Also make it as easy to upgrade to better conveyor belts as possible. Don't run a conveyor lift to each required recource on the floors, but have 1 lift with maximum items per minute going across every floor that requires it and split some off 6. Make a giant item storage hallway 7. Make a excel document for your ore requirements per floor. 8. You don't need to delete your old factory, just route its ores to your new factory. With these i managed to complete satisfactory without it becoming very frustrating.
I just gotta say: the appearance of Hobbes made my day! I haven't been doing well lately due to my parent's divorce, and Hobbes always makes me happy :) (Your cat's name is Hobbes, right?)
Thanks! Check out the full playlist for the other episodes: czcams.com/play/PLnABVyt7AbZk3mI-M0whrL7TdIJruH42N.html Episodes are releasing Tuesdays unless something comes up (this is my side gig lol). It's been a blast!
Biggest thing to know early is that a mk miner 1 will produce 60 ore per minute if its a normal node a pure will yield 90 a minute, so with that said you can run 2 smelters per miner on a normal and 3 on a pure. thats huge to know. you also can make things 100% efficient by feeding the proper amount of items per minute. like a smelter will make 30 ingots so you can feed the output into a splitter and make 3 more belts all connected to a contstructor and you have 3 iron rod stations at 100% efficiency. everything works this way. you should also try to get to coal power asap because getting biomass is a pain in the butt when you have alot of power needs. Pro tip for power. Build a big area purely made out of biomass burners and connect them all. you can underclock them if you dont need as much power making them burn fuel slower. A scenario would be you have 6 generators and set them all to half capacity. and up them as you need more. dont go too crazy as coal power will replace the burners. AND BUILD EVERYTHING ON A FLOOR TILE. YOU WILL REGRET NOT DOING THIS. Changing the build feature to Zoop lets you create up to 10 tiles at once . thats about all i can say without writing a 2nd essay
Wait until you try to create a zero waste nuclear reactor setup. Also the game takes over 200 hours. Here is a recommendation. Once you are producing steel, build a central warehouse that is off the ground by at least 20 of the big foundation units. Have a splitter from your lines go to a large container in the warehouse. Such a saver.
The forest is actually the best starting area as it has all the end game resources near by and a spot with 4 pure iron, 2 pure copper, 2 pure Limestone, 2 pure quartz, within 10meters of eachother, 1 oil lake in the ravine with a geyser, 4 pure coal next to water across from starting spot and 2normal caterium nodes not too far up the hill. The only downside is alot of hatchers and a high level spitter in the area as well as cramped land space for building horizontally. The Spot is x: -398, y: -1398. So you can build up resources quickly than transport them to say the desert for larger horizontal building projects. The Grasslands are the worst besides the 2 coal and caterium all the nodes are impure for the most part.
DND sucked today. Half of my 12-person party proceeded to try and sacrifice me to nothing for literally no reason. I was sitting here, in the dumps, when I noticed this new video. This really helped :)
This game is so good. The name is program. I also love the community management and no microtransactions and you can see the developers care about the game and the community and not only the money. Whats crazy in this game is when you are proud of your first half decent factory and then open youtube and see a recommendation of factory tours of other players and you see the masterpeices they make. It goeas far beyond only production and optimization of resources since update 5 its also esthetics.
Get Hobbes a sticky-brush! Meaning one you can stick on something, and he can rub against it himself. That way, maybe he can get scratches while you're busy playing, too.
yesss excited to see you get into this! take your time with it, truly! I play in really short bursts for a few weeks and then back off til an update comes around, because i dislike survival games but i LOVE the building aspects. Play as you want, I would totally be down with you playing the grind off stream and then only do certain things on stream. I have about a thousand hours in game, it's genuinely so fun. I dont even optimized my builds or anything.
I would give anything to experience the game again for the first time. But watching your first time through brought back so many memories. I have been playing it non stop for over 3 years now with my current save just shy of 2k hours. This was really nice :) and an instant sub with the cat scratches XD
I totally don't mind you doing some stuff offline. But it would be interesting seeing how you tackle new challenges. As you go through the milestones they ask for more refined/processed materials sometimes requiring new raw materials. It is often interesting to see how different people work in the new production steps into their factory. From finding new materials, to figuring out how they want to lay out the necessary production buildings. You might need to redo your whole setup a few times depending on how you plan it out.
I love satisfactory but it’s also a real pain to get everything the way you want, like you can build it just to unlock everything and then overhaul it later
I love when people go in games blindly but in krakenfalls case only slightly knowledge from let's game it out videos I would very much appreciate a series of this
7:35 - Well, you might not think you are property, but Ficsit certainly does. For an interesting take on the nature of your relationship with Ficsit - you can check out the youtube video "A Matter of Factories" Satisfactory Rap - by Stupendium. I personally consider this view as cannon to the game and sometimes just put the song on loop when playing. Worth giving a listen when you have time. Greatly enjoying your playthrough. Keep up the good work.
You basically do automation and base building as you unlock tiers. There is a lot of tearing down and rebuilding. Deleting stuff is going to be your part time job. This game is the evolution of your base.
Nothing stopping you from having a 2nd game on the side for your pleasure. As long as you don't burn yourself out. For your next session. Tier 2 Obstacle clearing is good choice. Get Chainsaw to quickly clear foliage in an AoE around you. And sooner you get to Coal power, the sooner you can automate electricity and never have to pick shrubs and sticks anymore. It is unlocked in Tier 3 and you will need water for it also.
@@Krakenfall Absolutely enjoy the game your own way. I've played it since it first launched years ago. Now I streamline towards coal. Basic setup, and a lot of hand crafting. But I bumrush towards coal asap. Biomass burner is 30MW power, Coal is 75MW each. And with belts and water, it is all self sustaining. (basic values before overclocking. Which can boost Coal to 151.5MW each) Such a relief when you get it setup. So I tend to ignore everything else and beeline towards it. It is the most satisfying production you will unlock until hoverpacks and can effortlessly build vertically (*with active power grid nearby, it uses wireless power transmission) 😄
You can also build over the edge of a cliff and only need platforms to build on. They don't need to be supported. This can give you a lot of free real estate that is perfectly flat and built however you want. You just have to have it attached to the land to get it started
tips-holding crtl with a build (like a constructor) will snap it to an already placed object. You can click space while crafting so you dont have to hold down your mouse.
The way i approach a new world is first make what is called a spaghetti base, which is the basics all automated allowing mass production of plates, wire, concrete, cable etc (the first stage stuff) then work towards mass production of each (concrete is used a lot for walls and floors) next big goal is coal power ... and the rest is too mind blowing to go into. If you can get to coal you have done well. Note you can put containers stacked on top of each other (just line up input outputs) and use lifts/belts to connect them at the end of each product. This also means if you put a butt ton of storage on your spaghetti base you can leave it running in background to fill up and then use those items for building ... on stream build off stream let factory fill. This method is in no way comprehensive but it works for me.
Pro tip: You don't need to hold your mouse when you craft, you can just tap "space" once. If you are planning to play this game more, I suggest you look up some QOL tips. It will save you lots of time and make your building much more enjoyable.
This game is going to take at least 30 hours for a new player for just the first two tiers so I would probably recommend waiting for update 6 (tomorrow) and resetting the save so there are no issues, and your going to want to stream as it will be a lot of automation which is what people want to see and people will also want to see your reactions to trying to build the easiest recipes to automate and also chat can have a ton of tips to help you with their supposed infinite knowledge.
rewatching... quick tip belts are the rafts custom planks of satisfactory. think of them as the speed boost walking belts (walkelators?) at airports... specialy end game they rival the blast tube setups. build 2 directions everytime you explore furthure than a jet pack trip.
My suggestion is to get coal generator going as fast as possible. Then you can set up a factory and let it run while you go and do things like 500 chat push ups and not worry about power loss. Also set up auto mining units. They have converbelt so it is even more automated
I would love to see how far you progress! Satisfactory takes around 500 hours to completely finish the game. And other CZcams's just unlock one milestone at a time and play around with those.
You can press 'B' for the flashlight when it is dark. Helps alot in some darker spots on the map. You will see how big the map really is only by exploring it. Personally i hope that the wildlife would be more diverse in future updates. Most critters are too easy to eliminate.
If that's your hope, then you're in luck! That's literally what the whole next update is dedicated too. New hostile wildlife, new biome themed versions of existing ones, some new AI that will maybe be a bit more of a challenge, and a bunch of other cool improvements to exploration. Also a new equip system for utility items so you can use more stuff at once (you will be able to wear a gas mask AND a jetpack)!
Im waiting to see how many people in this comment section will tell/ask you to make something Josh did. Also, Im looking forward to see you maybe starting a series, Because you've told us you got many jobs, Now im curious on how you'll approach this game.
There are quite a few comments about that already! I have some plans of my own, so I'm in no rush to build one of Josh's abominations--- I mean creations lol
Certainly feel free to let it run overnight to gain material once you have a stable power source. Alternatively, only gather resources off stream? Depends on how much of the map you want people to see, im sure you'll visit that location again, and its a BIG map.
I love the cat cam spots (he looks like one of my old cats, Orion, who sadly passed a few years ago, only way less grumpy), and appreciate the pain of the workout section. Definitely gotta keep caps on suffering for channel points, especially if you have friends in chat lol!
Probably the first time I've heard of a gamer that works out on stream out of breath for a new reason on stream. Well offline is good. Just give 10 min streams with updates on how you are doing. Hope you enjoy the update
Ah, memories about my first play through came up with this'^^ Good memories tho. Little tip about the work benches, don't know if someone else mentioned it in another video maybe already. But if you hold down SPACE to manually craft an item, you can drag and drop a stack of the highlighted items in the top right corner of the workbench interface. That will cause the Space bar to get "stuck" and you can manually craft things in bulks without holding down or repeatedly smash a button.
Thanks for the tip! I think Coffee Stain Studios actually added that "feature" to the game officially. You can now select the item and press spacebar for the crafting to run until you run out of parts. I love how much they take these quality of life improvements and bring them into the game. It's truly legendary
@@Krakenfall Anytime, I've been really enjoying your Satisfactory Videos. A huge thanks for that. Yeah coffee stained studios do a fantastic job by trying to be as satisfactory as possible. But I am not sure if it was intentional that you can stuck or "cheese" the space bar hold in the workbench.
lol you're good really. Coffee Stain has made so many QoL improvements, I wouldn't know if your way was THE way at some point. I *think* this was a change they made since update 4 or 5, but 🤷♂️
4:33 *watches screen turn off* huh, played this game for ages never noticed there isn't any back lighting to that screen - that said, Satisfactory is easily in my top 10 favorites. Great video!
I loved "I will need one per" so much optimism, before you start using calculator to figure how many constructors you'll need for next part. And being really happy if it under 100 😁
As a fairly new player please keep in the starting phases, everyone seems to do that different and that is what I would like to see. Just so you know, I haven't seen it mentioned but you can just press space bar and it will keep crafting and you don't have to hold anything. You won't be doing a lot of crafting by hand but boy it is nice to let it keep going for some repetitive parts. Also if no one has told you, you don't lose materials from dismantling.
I released episode two of the Satisfactory Let's Play series! If you liked this video, please check it out! It gets even crazier 😁

If nothing else, do some exploration on stream cause I love reactions to all the different areas (and enemies)
Now it’s the perfect time too cuz they adding new enemies
If chat lets him lol they seemed more interested in turning the stream into a workout fest.
Most of it is base building though. Early game is crafting a lot by hand but your basically at the point where you should be having miners->smelters->constructors to build everything you need. The main trick is setting it all up with splits to feed one miner into multiple constructors to automate making all the different items.
The down/boring time would be gathering all that biomass which if you have the recipe I recommend processing into a sort of refined biomass, i forget what it's called, because you get more fuel from it. Once you get coal power and can automate power though the hassle of biomass goes away. Also potential downtime is just waiting for the automated constructors to finish if you don't have a fast through put on them.

Come for the LGIO reaction content, stay for the gameplay
I would love to see your process for unlocking all the things, since as tiers advance that becomes some of the main gameplay, plus it's fun to see people figure things out for the first time!
👍
My suggestion for a lets play is to montage "special moments" from when you're grinding out the various unlocks off-stream, like when you encounter and tame your first lizard doggo or stumble into an interesting area during off stream exploration so we can get your first reaction. I can understand cutting out 2-6 hours of crafting and planning then dumping that footage to save on storage space. That way you can dedicate the stream towards "Okay, today we're going to setup a copper mining outpost and send it back to our base." or "Today we're going to make a logistics network." type content.
Also a fun tip: You can run calculations in the search bar so you don't need to have a separate calculator open for some quick math.
Almost the entire time your in game it will be base building, optimizing, or exploring to get more to build more. Offline you could definetly do planning and exploring setting up power lines to new places or just letting the game run in the background to build up resources. Even with 100% efficient builds, some things like reinforced plates only produce at 5/min and you need hundreds to thousands for belts. You will have no shortage of things to do, especially once you get foundation.
I think I'm leaning towards material grinding offline and doing automation and base building on stream/let's play. Seems like a good compromise 👍
If you "wait for materials" you are missing a vital point: you should be making more factories producing the materials you need... 10 factories building reinforced iron plates produce 50 plates/min...

Whether we wanted it or not, we've stepped into a war with the Cabal on Mars. So let's get to taking out their command, one by one. Valus Ta'aurc. From what I can gather he commands the Siege Dancers from an Imperial Land Tank outside of Rubicon. He's well protected, but with the right team, we can punch through those defenses, take this beast out, and break their grip on Freehold.
hahahaha, that moment you realized how big the game was. You had no idea what you were getting yourself into! XD I've put almost 600 hours into my first save file and I'm 100% going to do it all over again when 1.0 comes out. Best game ever for us software devs. I encourage you to keep playing, even if it's off-stream.
Should have called this: Automation Engineer Runs In Circles Around Hostile Wildlife
Important tip for you:
1. 1 constructor/assembler per item at normal speed is more than enough, it might seem slow, but it will build up faster than you think
2. Always switch to the fastest conveyor belt and miners, but don't need to change previous ones used in your production(everything after the first smelter/constructor), only upgrade belts with ore and miners
3. Automate as many items as soon as possible, no matter how hard they are
4. Build with foundations and multiple floors, but don't have multiple floors for 1 item
5. Build everything to be multiplied by 100. Also make it as easy to upgrade to better conveyor belts as possible. Don't run a conveyor lift to each required recource on the floors, but have 1 lift with maximum items per minute going across every floor that requires it and split some off
6. Make a giant item storage hallway
7. Make a excel document for your ore requirements per floor.
8. You don't need to delete your old factory, just route its ores to your new factory.
With these i managed to complete satisfactory without it becoming very frustrating.
I just gotta say: the appearance of Hobbes made my day! I haven't been doing well lately due to my parent's divorce, and Hobbes always makes me happy :) (Your cat's name is Hobbes, right?)
New on your channel, but it was a pleasure to see you play Satisfactory! Would love to see a full lets play.
Thanks! Check out the full playlist for the other episodes: czcams.com/play/PLnABVyt7AbZk3mI-M0whrL7TdIJruH42N.html
Episodes are releasing Tuesdays unless something comes up (this is my side gig lol). It's been a blast!
At the end of this game, he will have some squared up muscles
Welcome to your new addiction. when you are ready we have Addiction meetings every 6th Tuesday.

"Don't thank random chance. Thank my meteor wishing power."
Less than 30 seconds in, cat scritches.
I'm absolutely here for it, instant sub.
Biggest thing to know early is that a mk miner 1 will produce 60 ore per minute if its a normal node a pure will yield 90 a minute, so with that said you can run 2 smelters per miner on a normal and 3 on a pure. thats huge to know. you also can make things 100% efficient by feeding the proper amount of items per minute. like a smelter will make 30 ingots so you can feed the output into a splitter and make 3 more belts all connected to a contstructor and you have 3 iron rod stations at 100% efficiency. everything works this way. you should also try to get to coal power asap because getting biomass is a pain in the butt when you have alot of power needs. Pro tip for power. Build a big area purely made out of biomass burners and connect them all. you can underclock them if you dont need as much power making them burn fuel slower. A scenario would be you have 6 generators and set them all to half capacity. and up them as you need more. dont go too crazy as coal power will replace the burners. AND BUILD EVERYTHING ON A FLOOR TILE. YOU WILL REGRET NOT DOING THIS. Changing the build feature to Zoop lets you create up to 10 tiles at once . thats about all i can say without writing a 2nd essay
Every time I hand chisel, I start singing We Will Rock You in my head.
Wait until you try to create a zero waste nuclear reactor setup. Also the game takes over 200 hours.
Here is a recommendation. Once you are producing steel, build a central warehouse that is off the ground by at least 20 of the big foundation units. Have a splitter from your lines go to a large container in the warehouse. Such a saver.
The forest is actually the best starting area as it has all the end game resources near by and a spot with 4 pure iron, 2 pure copper, 2 pure Limestone, 2 pure quartz, within 10meters of eachother, 1 oil lake in the ravine with a geyser, 4 pure coal next to water across from starting spot and 2normal caterium nodes not too far up the hill. The only downside is alot of hatchers and a high level spitter in the area as well as cramped land space for building horizontally. The Spot is x: -398, y: -1398. So you can build up resources quickly than transport them to say the desert for larger horizontal building projects. The Grasslands are the worst besides the 2 coal and caterium all the nodes are impure for the most part.
You could spend 100 hours of game play just unlocking things. I loved seeing your reaction at the end, there is a ton to do
And thousands of hours building your factories and even thousands more building to giving them an architectural look. This game rarely ever gets old.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I was waiting for an upload of this :D Otherwise I would have hoped that there are VODs of the streams :D
The engineer has landed on the planet
All resources please be advised.
DND sucked today. Half of my 12-person party proceeded to try and sacrifice me to nothing for literally no reason.
I was sitting here, in the dumps, when I noticed this new video. This really helped :)
😂glad to help with the post-sacrificial-attempt dumps
This game is so good. The name is program. I also love the community management and no microtransactions and you can see the developers care about the game and the community and not only the money.
Whats crazy in this game is when you are proud of your first half decent factory and then open youtube and see a recommendation of factory tours of other players and you see the masterpeices they make. It goeas far beyond only production and optimization of resources since update 5 its also esthetics.
Good, now climb to the top of the space elevator with a giant tornado.
Get Hobbes a sticky-brush! Meaning one you can stick on something, and he can rub against it himself. That way, maybe he can get scratches while you're busy playing, too.
yesss excited to see you get into this! take your time with it, truly! I play in really short bursts for a few weeks and then back off til an update comes around, because i dislike survival games but i LOVE the building aspects. Play as you want, I would totally be down with you playing the grind off stream and then only do certain things on stream. I have about a thousand hours in game, it's genuinely so fun. I dont even optimized my builds or anything.
I would give anything to experience the game again for the first time. But watching your first time through brought back so many memories. I have been playing it non stop for over 3 years now with my current save just shy of 2k hours. This was really nice :) and an instant sub with the cat scratches XD
The game opens up once you unlock coal power. Now you don't have to constantly supply biomass burners, unless they're a backup power source.

"There is so much to do in this game"
*WHEEEEEEEEZE*
My man. You can only go up from here.
I totally don't mind you doing some stuff offline. But it would be interesting seeing how you tackle new challenges.
As you go through the milestones they ask for more refined/processed materials sometimes requiring new raw materials.
It is often interesting to see how different people work in the new production steps into their factory. From finding new materials, to figuring out how they want to lay out the necessary production buildings.
You might need to redo your whole setup a few times depending on how you plan it out.
Say goodbye to your life! 3 years, 1200 plus hours, and there is an amazing modding community for when you get tired of the basis!
I love satisfactory but it’s also a real pain to get everything the way you want, like you can build it just to unlock everything and then overhaul it later
I agree, start with the spaghetti until the last tiers where you have the tools to build from top down and plan it all cleanly :)
"And with this last one let's see if we can get *nothing but net* "
Awe your kitty looks just like my lovable little girl! Her names shadow.
Your cat looks exactly like mine. He is super cuddly and also chills on my lap while playing satisfactory. :3
I love when people go in games blindly but in krakenfalls case only slightly knowledge from let's game it out videos
I would very much appreciate a series of this
To defeat those "plasma spitters", if you go right up to it, it can't hit you.
😲
7:35 - Well, you might not think you are property, but Ficsit certainly does.
For an interesting take on the nature of your relationship with Ficsit - you can check out the youtube video "A Matter of Factories" Satisfactory Rap - by Stupendium. I personally consider this view as cannon to the game and sometimes just put the song on loop when playing.
Worth giving a listen when you have time.
Greatly enjoying your playthrough. Keep up the good work.
You basically do automation and base building as you unlock tiers. There is a lot of tearing down and rebuilding. Deleting stuff is going to be your part time job. This game is the evolution of your base.
Nothing stopping you from having a 2nd game on the side for your pleasure. As long as you don't burn yourself out.
For your next session. Tier 2 Obstacle clearing is good choice. Get Chainsaw to quickly clear foliage in an AoE around you.
And sooner you get to Coal power, the sooner you can automate electricity and never have to pick shrubs and sticks anymore. It is unlocked in Tier 3 and you will need water for it also.
I was wondering when I'd get coal processing. We've done a second session on stream, but I'm not quite to tier 3 yet. Looking forward to it!
@@Krakenfall Absolutely enjoy the game your own way. I've played it since it first launched years ago. Now I streamline towards coal. Basic setup, and a lot of hand crafting. But I bumrush towards coal asap.
Biomass burner is 30MW power, Coal is 75MW each. And with belts and water, it is all self sustaining. (basic values before overclocking. Which can boost Coal to 151.5MW each)
Such a relief when you get it setup. So I tend to ignore everything else and beeline towards it.
It is the most satisfying production you will unlock until hoverpacks and can effortlessly build vertically (*with active power grid nearby, it uses wireless power transmission) 😄
Also nice: the "predecessor" of satisfactory, factorio
Seems similar but is a completely different game and plays very different
I just started watching your videos with your reactions to Just Game it Out and im enjoying the content so far.
Love the videos! Keep it up man!
Can't wait for your next satisfactory stream ;)
You can also build over the edge of a cliff and only need platforms to build on. They don't need to be supported. This can give you a lot of free real estate that is perfectly flat and built however you want. You just have to have it attached to the land to get it started
Then you press ctrl buildings automatically snap to other objects.
tips-holding crtl with a build (like a constructor) will snap it to an already placed object. You can click space while crafting so you dont have to hold down your mouse.
You picked a good time to start. There's a new update going live in about a week.
We'll see you in about 400-1,000 hrs and see where you're at when you're processing aluminum! :) Happy Building!!!
The way i approach a new world is first make what is called a spaghetti base, which is the basics all automated allowing mass production of plates, wire, concrete, cable etc (the first stage stuff) then work towards mass production of each (concrete is used a lot for walls and floors) next big goal is coal power ... and the rest is too mind blowing to go into. If you can get to coal you have done well. Note you can put containers stacked on top of each other (just line up input outputs) and use lifts/belts to connect them at the end of each product. This also means if you put a butt ton of storage on your spaghetti base you can leave it running in background to fill up and then use those items for building ... on stream build off stream let factory fill. This method is in no way comprehensive but it works for me.
Pro tip: You don't need to hold your mouse when you craft, you can just tap "space" once. If you are planning to play this game more, I suggest you look up some QOL tips. It will save you lots of time and make your building much more enjoyable.
Subbed for the cat, the whole cat and nothing but the cat
This game is going to take at least 30 hours for a new player for just the first two tiers so I would probably recommend waiting for update 6 (tomorrow) and resetting the save so there are no issues, and your going to want to stream as it will be a lot of automation which is what people want to see and people will also want to see your reactions to trying to build the easiest recipes to automate and also chat can have a ton of tips to help you with their supposed infinite knowledge.
more of these i wana see your struggles ideas and conquests. here to see your problem solving
Can definitley tell you've played a lot of games - attacking and dodging right off the bat was excellent
ive been watching for a while and that intro still hits well
as a guy who automates stuff for a living this game, factorio, and dyson sphere program will take months of your life.
rewatching... quick tip belts are the rafts custom planks of satisfactory.
think of them as the speed boost walking belts (walkelators?) at airports... specialy end game they rival the blast tube setups.
build 2 directions everytime you explore furthure than a jet pack trip.
Mr. Hobbs seems to steal the show as a cat.
My suggestion is to get coal generator going as fast as possible. Then you can set up a factory and let it run while you go and do things like 500 chat push ups and not worry about power loss.
Also set up auto mining units. They have converbelt so it is even more automated
I would love to see how far you progress!
Satisfactory takes around 500 hours to completely finish the game. And other CZcams's just unlock one milestone at a time and play around with those.
You can press 'B' for the flashlight when it is dark. Helps alot in some darker spots on the map. You will see how big the map really is only by exploring it. Personally i hope that the wildlife would be more diverse in future updates. Most critters are too easy to eliminate.
If that's your hope, then you're in luck! That's literally what the whole next update is dedicated too. New hostile wildlife, new biome themed versions of existing ones, some new AI that will maybe be a bit more of a challenge, and a bunch of other cool improvements to exploration. Also a new equip system for utility items so you can use more stuff at once (you will be able to wear a gas mask AND a jetpack)!
Im waiting to see how many people in this comment section will tell/ask you to make something Josh did.
Also, Im looking forward to see you maybe starting a series, Because you've told us you got many jobs, Now im curious on how you'll approach this game.
Well Josh made it really far in the game so eventually there will be as many things in Josh’s world as in this one. Just with different placement.
@@CraftingCat_IX it’s already like this if you include all the missing trees from Josh world 💀
There are quite a few comments about that already! I have some plans of my own, so I'm in no rush to build one of Josh's abominations--- I mean creations lol
You have over 300 jobs as I can see from your title 😂😂👍
Love Mr. Hops (sorry if I wrote it the wrong way) 🥰
I think it’s Hobbes like Calvin and Hobbes
Best line was, "I'm gonna want one per" 😆
Certainly feel free to let it run overnight to gain material once you have a stable power source. Alternatively, only gather resources off stream? Depends on how much of the map you want people to see, im sure you'll visit that location again, and its a BIG map.
It’s funny, due to my first base being in the grasslands I recognize the area he’s in.
Tell Hobbes a Calvin says "Hello!"
I love the cat cam spots (he looks like one of my old cats, Orion, who sadly passed a few years ago, only way less grumpy), and appreciate the pain of the workout section. Definitely gotta keep caps on suffering for channel points, especially if you have friends in chat lol!
Probably the first time I've heard of a gamer that works out on stream out of breath for a new reason on stream.
Well offline is good. Just give 10 min streams with updates on how you are doing. Hope you enjoy the update
Ah, memories about my first play through came up with this'^^ Good memories tho.
Little tip about the work benches, don't know if someone else mentioned it in another video maybe already. But if you hold down SPACE to manually craft an item, you can drag and drop a stack of the highlighted items in the top right corner of the workbench interface. That will cause the Space bar to get "stuck" and you can manually craft things in bulks without holding down or repeatedly smash a button.
Thanks for the tip! I think Coffee Stain Studios actually added that "feature" to the game officially. You can now select the item and press spacebar for the crafting to run until you run out of parts. I love how much they take these quality of life improvements and bring them into the game. It's truly legendary
@@Krakenfall Anytime, I've been really enjoying your Satisfactory Videos. A huge thanks for that.
Yeah coffee stained studios do a fantastic job by trying to be as satisfactory as possible.
But I am not sure if it was intentional that you can stuck or "cheese" the space bar hold in the workbench.
@@Krakenfall My god, I am so daft...
I just realized that I don't have to hold space. After hundreds of hours...
Sry for this inconvenience 😅🤣
lol you're good really. Coffee Stain has made so many QoL improvements, I wouldn't know if your way was THE way at some point. I *think* this was a change they made since update 4 or 5, but 🤷♂️
4:33 *watches screen turn off* huh, played this game for ages never noticed there isn't any back lighting to that screen - that said, Satisfactory is easily in my top 10 favorites. Great video!
"There's so much to do in this game" homie you haven't even began, don't get overwhelmed just yet😂
Stream for building things and offline gaming for afk-ing so you get all necessary things sounds good.
I loved "I will need one per" so much optimism, before you start using calculator to figure how many constructors you'll need for next part. And being really happy if it under 100 😁
Here you can see one of the most chill cats, and if you want to see Dogs, look up Dave McKeegan. Nice video!
As a fairly new player please keep in the starting phases, everyone seems to do that different and that is what I would like to see. Just so you know, I haven't seen it mentioned but you can just press space bar and it will keep crafting and you don't have to hold anything. You won't be doing a lot of crafting by hand but boy it is nice to let it keep going for some repetitive parts. Also if no one has told you, you don't lose materials from dismantling.
