About: Satisfactory
Satisfactory is a first-person open-world factory building game with a dash of exploration and combat. Pioneering for FICSIT Incorporated means charting and exploiting an alien planet, battling alien lifeforms, creating multi-story factories, entering conveyor belt heaven, automating vehicles, and researching new technologies.
This Factorio like game has heavy automation, with automated mining, crafting, and you can even automate movement!
#TotalXclipse #bestfactorygames #topfactorygames - Hry
Do you have any other factory games suggestions I missed?
minecraft tekkit is pretty good
"Mindustry" is an automation-factory game with tower defense enemy waves. cross-platform multi-player.
level based maps with planetary hex-grid campaign. detailed map maker included.
mindustry has a single developer and started as a game jam entry in 2017.
Riftbreaker, Planet Crafter. Not exactly factory builders, but have that kind of feel
I think you missed; Automation Empire.
(Even have the word: "Automation", in the name, for the game.)
Then if you could drag it. ASTRONEER might be at the bottom of the list of automation games.
You can automate stuff with auto arms, trains and drills, but more like factorio. You need to move your drills. But there is a maximum node amount. That maximum node amount isn't that big, in my opinion. (Might increase in the future.)
@@th35leeper56 mindustry is so fun with friends :)
i feel like Minecraft is becoming a really good factory type of game with mods like Create or Immersive Engineering that add multiblock structures and many other machines to help automate basically every farmable resource in Minecraft
shoutout to compact claustrophobia
Well, modded Minecraft did inspire Factorio. It was a pretty good factory-game back then, but it's certainly gotten much better over the years.
I do miss spaghetti conveyor splines like you can do in satisfactory though. The whole item queues following exactly the spline of the belt is smt hcool to look at, and the blocky design of minecraft and factorio get there too much in the way for my taste.
Then again, i din't try out factory-related mods for minecraft since a long time, so i could be wrong.
Absolutely, I've had more fun with Create Above and Beyond than any of these other ones. It also works seemlessly with any other mod. Added about 100 mods of my own to a total of over 200 mods, and it worked absolutely fantastic. Then, I forced my poor server to run it with 8 other friends, went actually amazing, with all the mods of Above And Beyond, and most mods I added being massive (Ice and Fire, Twilight Forest, AoA, Astral Sorcery, Ars Noveau, overhaul of every possible biome and dimension etc) AND running shaders on my end, the server only started being probllematic as we built out factories that would inevitably construct our spaceship. At that point we basically automated everything, we even had a mod that adds aircraft (simpleplanes) that we built a giant airport for with lifts that bring you up to a tower to launch from. We even automated chocolate cakes, a unique create recipe, so we can use them in AoA bossfights.
We never got to space though. The server gave up when we started decorating our factories with carefully crafted miniatures using Chisel.
RIP magic forest kingdom that turned into an industrial hellscape. You will be missed.

Mindustry is quite the interesting Tower defense factory game as it has the blueprint element.
Including RTS like game modes where you fight of players rather than AI.
Though it is not an eternally expanding factory that only sees it's limit in your processing power it is a fun game where you learn to set up and manage your factory for incoming enemy attacks.
Like how Factorio is extremely difficult depending on it's layout if you ever try a Deathworld, to much ocean or desert nearby and you will eventually be outrun by biter evolution in comparison to your munitions production and pollution spread.
Played Mindustry a lot before I was able to play Factorio itself. Agreeing with this.
Sadly I missed the alpha for Technoica, but they're releasing a demo soon on steam. Glad to see Foundry on the list too, they're moving pretty fast with that game. Also nice to see Hydroneer on the list. It's pretty rough and ready in terms of user experience and quite slow to start, but I enjoy it. Thanks for a video, glad to have new games to try!
I’ve watched your channel since you only had a handful of subs and I am super impressed by your quality of work and dedication to the genre. Keep it up bud!
Well done. Really well done. Great suggestions, and excellent editing. Thanks!
I’m excited for Astro Colony! I backed the kickstarter and played a bit of the beta. A factory game set in space where you harvest asteroids for resources and you can set up bases on different planets. They had some colony management aspects as well with workers you can hire and manage.
Recently got into this genre with Techtonica. Thanks for the list of other gems!
All I understood was "keep playing Satisfactory"
After playing Satisfactory there is no other the same but I’ve been hooked on Foundry for which the devs are really proactive and updating regularly, the multiplayer is awesome playing friends works very well but the true challenge is the single player, check it out it’s not the cartoonish aspect of the game the logistics is brilliant the way everything works in harmony 😉
If you havent yet, definitely give Dyson Sphere Program a try
@@Cynik45Yes I have, interesting but got bored very quickly unfortunately, maybe when multiplayer drops I might go back to it 😉
For me, that game is Dyson Sphere Program.
Being space-faring, going from star system to star system, planet to planet, having interstellar transport ships....
And the combat system that's not far away....
I can't touch the other games.
I fell in love with the look and feel of Captain OI the moment I saw Nilaus play it. I was so happy to see it come out and not be a bomb. Factory Town is probably a good one to recommend to players new to factory/management games. I do feel like Timberborn should have been included as it opened to Overwhelmingly Positive Steam reviews and certainly has a unique approach. But I have to say, Factorio is near and dear to my heart because it completely changed my world of gaming. And as much as I love Factorio the game, I love more the fact that it popularized this genre so there are so many flavors. PS but not really PS, Transport Fever 2 is also a great game that's not technically a factory builder, but is a fun logistical management game.
Well technically i don’t think Timberborn will come under factory building. It’s more of survival city building.
@Marauder I agree, I like Timberborn but it doesn't scratch the factory game itch. It's a colony sim.
I played Factorio, Satisfactory, Mindustry, Fortresscraft Evolved. But my favorite is DSP. It has a great end game and great scaling of factories.
To me scaling is key. Satisfactory doesn't quite hit it, and factorio does but not as well as dsp.
thanks total, helps alot
There are two games still in Early Access that are available on Steam and a third one in full release that could fall into this genre: They are Industries of Titan, Mega Factory Titan, and Mindustry respectively.
mindustry is really good
Final Upgrade is a great factory game too! Honestly somewhat of a hidden gem.
Might have to check it out!
Love factorio but never gelled with the 3d factory games. Excited to hear there's a possible expansion in the works.
same here!
I found Junkpunk needs a lot more work on the automation front to really work as a factory game. One problem is the fact that manual crafting is pretty cheap compared to setting up any automation (in terms of both resources and space), which means you tend to set up a single machine and then manually reconfigure it to process materials you can't handcraft. Some sort of programming on both machines and splitters would allow actual automated factories. Especially at the NWR level (at the scrap level you can readily do everything with a single process line to produce ingots.
Mindustry is an amazing factory/tower-defence game, definitely something to check out.
this was a vid I love all these games and hope you make more like this
This is a great list. Factory Town, Satisfactory, Factorio and DSP are my faves but looking forward to trying Foundry and COI. Would definitely recommend adding Autonauts to the list - It's not a traditional factory game but shares a lot of the same elements, with the addition of some simple drag and drop programming gameplay.
I second Autonauts, that's just great.
Nice, i was interested in junk punk and learned of a few other new ones near the end.
Awesome list! Factorio got me glued to automation/factory games and I think it was your channel where I first found Satisfactory! I don't know when it will be out of EA but I also love Evospace. Have you played that one yet?
Oh no, I think you've just inspired me to start a new satiafactory playthrough
You forgot Mindustry :3 While a light factory game, more so a tower defense. I think it should be in the list!
Thank you, this is most helpful.
A little bit different than a factory game perse but it does incorporate resource management, automation and colony growth is Oxygen Not Included. It's an excellent game! I feel that it is closely related to this genre.
yep definitely an adjacent genre, lots of overlap in player base too! ONI is somewhere between factorio and rimworld if I had to place it. odds are it appels to both groups
been playing factorio for around 7 years, and got satisfactory on release day, both absolutely amazing games. if i should add any game to the list, it would be autonauts, a game about programming your own bots, by showing them wha you want, but also a game with no stress, no resource limits, and cutesy artstyle, animation and theme in general. Autonauts also still gets semiregular updates with tons of new features, so really a good game for anyone to get in to the genre.
while i know of most of the games you covered, i have only played satisfactory and factorio, i just feel the rest miss something, and i think it might be the insane amount of presieze control you can have in factorio, but im not 100% sure. anyway, good list, and a great to see a little bit of everything, the greats, the small, the odd ones, and so on.
Autonauts makes automation a pain in the ass, unfortunately.
I was gunna say Hydroneer, but it was there as well haha. love that game so much. Thanks for putting this together though.
I played foundry now for a day, its pretty nice.
Techtonia will be interesting
One of the games I regulary come back to is Fortress Craft evolved. It's a hybrid between Minecraft, Satisfactory and Factorio.
Procedural and completely destructable voxel world
base defense
HUGE mining and crafting automization
exploration
a very unique way of energy transportation and Ore-vein harvesting
It's a little tricky to get into if you are new, but once you get the hang of it it's a real gem. Already released a few years ago but totally worth checking out. And I mean, there is a huge ass orbital laser later in the game to wipe out huge alien hive minds! LASERRRRS!
Overminds. The hiveminds are the terrible terrible senders of mynocks. The Overminds are the ones who send wasps/tunnel nukers etc. For anyone reading this you don't need to fear the mynocks on normal mobs. I unfortunately am playing on hard mobs and I'm feeling a bit differently.
Major issue with the game is polish and lag. Played it with frozen factory with my friend and the lag became so bad underground that I had to lower my fov which made me sick and had to quit.
Was fun until then, cryo was cool
I feel it would be more accurate to say that Fortresscraft is the Grandfather of Factory games, as it's older than Factorio by some way, and definitely nailed the 'defend against waves of enemies' schtick.
@@lusulesinistral6537 Now if only it polished itself so that it was playable late game. Factorio is still the only large factory game that actually finished. Every other game is early access, small, or unpolished as hell.
Maybe Mindustry is considered finished and polished?
"Create above and beyond" is a brilliant factory Minecraft modpack
Techtonica looks very cool, I like the colors the game has, I will wait for videos of this game...
+1 for Hydroneer! Been playing it for a while, since before the big update that overhauled Bridgepour. It's such a chill game!
Love the game. Only issues I have are the grind at the start and the mad skills required to start a new dig with the excavator.
@@ostlandr I don't dislike grinding. I find myself often attracted to grindy games lol
Like some others here I wanna add Mindustry. Its an amazing tower defence and factorysim. You can either try to fend of A.I attacks for as long as you can in survival or other players attacks in pvp you can even attack A.I controlled bases if you dont want to deal with players.
1:14 I have no idea about what kind of DLC it could be, but the Space Exploration mod can count as a DLC if you want 😅. DoshDoshington made 3 hour-long videos of him playing through the whole mod and it took him ~300h. I highly recommend watching it if you're a Factorio fan and even playing it if you've reached the vanilla Factorio endgame multiple times and would like a challenge.
My personal favorates are Dyson Sphere Program, have around 500 hours in that one, Factorio have about 175 hours, and Satisfactory, which I haven't put much time into yet, but I do enjoy it.
autonauts is a good Factory game too, the creator even released a new game with the same base mechanics
Check out The Riftbreaker also! Not as complex about building but more fighting oriented and easily one of the games I had great fun with this year.
Well, since you had it in the thumbnail, I guess I'll mention Fallout 4. Specifically the -Wasteland Workshop- CONTRAPTIONS* DLC. Watching Robbaz's videos on the Meat Factory is what got me into factory games at all.
Yep I was going to mention it but didn't as it was DLC, same with city skylines industries ... Maybe that's something I can cover in a future video
FortressCraft Evolved is quite nice. It's OLD, but it's great. You fend off waves of enemies too after you crash land on a planet. The planet is incredibly hostile and even stuff like the temperature can kill you. You recharge your suit at certain stations to venture deeper into the planet where you'll find (a) resource(s) to progress the game with. There's a fair bit of exploration too. Kinda like Factorio, but 3D and harsher. Has Mod support too.
thank you so much!!!
I think one that should be looked at, though I don't know if it fully would fit in there, but I feel Craftopia would have been a good thing to mention. I mean, how many games have you automate breeding cows onto a conveyer belt to move them for... eh... use. XD
Seriously though it's a fun game with a major update coming soon.
Dang it Total! this is gonna go live right after school starts! ur gonna taunt me all day xD
Apologies 😅
I started junk punk yesterday and lost my entire Saturday before I knew it 😂 I'm definitely keeping on this one for a while
I have Hydroneer , Dyson Sphere Program and Junkpunk, would be interested in looking into getting Satisfactory and Foundry eventually. Another two to maybe take a look at would be Astro Colony and Facteroids... currently have the demo versions myself.
You will not regret getting Satisfactory. Its a awesome game
I've been playing Dyson Sphere Program lately. It's excellent. It's absolutely worth a try. And they're adding new stuff regularly
You should've mentioned Mindustry. It's free, simple, and with great PvP-aspect.
Buen video. Tal vez hecho en falta juegos como: Good Company y Mindustry
and i wish you good luck with your future endeavors ❤
X4 foundations, released by Egosoft, can also count as a factory builder since you fly spaceships to trade goods between factories and you can build your own spacestations that produce everything the universe needs. And those needs are huge since every destroyed ship (due to wars between factions or pirates) needs to be rebuilt with the products created at every factory in the universe. You also forgot about Automation empire. Nice little game but development seems to have stopped.
Dyson Sphere was my first step into factory games. at the moment i play between Dyson Sphere, Captain of Industry & Satisfactory
Can definitely recommend Shapezio, got it on sale for like 5€. Good for +40 hours.
Depends how deep you want to go in it, just till level 26?
Or you really want to go into the wire layer and make a MaM (make-anything-machine).
Demo is pretty basic and only goes till level 6.
Gracias, señor mexicano! 😎
Facteroids is another small chill one.
I'm glad I got to experience Dyson sphere program before they added enemies.... Like I beat the game before it had a lot of it's latest quality of life improvements.
Enemies should be optional though like Factorio? Why does it matter?
@@AJ213Probably They will be optional.
Will there be enemies? Neat!
@@Havoccus there is a trailer, look it up it's amazing
Honerable mention: Minecraft.
With so many mods and so many things there are now modpacks for all type of players and one of them is Factory.
With or without Create Mode, minecraft have modpacks like Project Ozone, Create: Above and Beyond, All The Mods, ... and many more
I still really love playing some good old Minecraft Modded one of my favoriets for Factory like gameplay must be Nomifactory (Omnifactory)
Cant regret not playing a game you dont know exist.
so thanks for this 😶
A lot of you know and have said that already, but Mindustry is one of the better factory games. I've been ignoring it for some time now, but I strongly regret my decisions. It seemed like a really simple Factorio clone that's not worth playing. I really love it now.
Great video! I couldn't agree more with your selections. I do have a question, would you consider Riftbreaker a "factory" game? It is a mix of Factorio (base defense from alien bugs) and Dyson Sphere Program (movement/mech suit).
Glad you enjoyed the video - i wouldn't consider riftbreaker a factory game though it has resource management at its heart.
Automachef had me hooked for the entire time
Rise of Industry, Voxel Tycoon, Capitalism Lab(it is Capitalism 3 kinda) and good old Industry Giant 1 + 2 are worth here as honorary mentions.
The aim is not to have a giant factory town wich eats all resources to grow itself from it but make more and diverse products in smaller factory complexes to be consumed by the npc towns to get money to offer new products.
I feel like DSP doesn’t get enough love and attention. When unlocking achievements throughout the course of the game I noticed that some fairly early game achievements only 15-20% of players have unlocked? I don’t know if it’s how rough the early game can be with fuel consumption, early game red matrices, or just a learning curve, but I feel like if more people gave it an honest shot it would gain a lot more publicity like Satisfactory and Factorio. DSP is hands down my favorite factory game. 600 hours in it alongside my 500 hours in Satisfactory.
This is because the achievement system was launched more than half a year after the game
Great list I ve played 4 out of 10
Factorio still the best
Satisfactory great
The rest mostly between average and good
Gonna be selfish and recommand one of my favorite, not really a factorio style but not too far. It s oneof my 2 best games this year with Satisfactory. And that s "planet crafters". Lack a bit of depth compared to the others but not any less fun to play. I really recommend to test this one out 😁. Have fun
I did not see in the comments. But one I did miss in the list was Timberborn.
Good list
Another game with the factory and automation is outerverse. It has bosses, multiple planets, lots of resources, and lets you turn gravity off or on.
A merge between cities skylines, sims and satisfactory would be very interesting. Imagine satisfactory but instead of just factories you have to manage employees that handle tasks only a human can perform. Adding an extra layer to the automation, where you also have to build a city that can home all your workers. Who require some degree of happiness if you want them showing up on time and doing there jobs properly... or an economy system as well where you sell your resources to pay workers.
Check Captain of Industry.
There’s a game simply called “The factory,” where you manage a factory, making and selling items, and avoiding trying to go bankrupt. The reason why it’s so fun to me is because I found it once when I was younger and I really liked the game. If you’d like to play it, it is only available on android devices.
There’s nothing quite like factorio. It’s just so good. It’s addictive
very nice
As much as I like Satisfactory for now Factorio is still number one. One of the best buys ever. Also I like Dyson Sphere Program and I'm curious how they will manage with hopefully optional enemies.
Maybe also have a look at Learning Factory, Timberborn, and Voxel Tycoon.
I second this hope that the enemies in DSP are optional. I love the game for the logistics and operational challenge, and am really not interested in having to add in fighting off some enemy. That's what killed Space Engineers for me. Not every game needs combat.
All three of them are very good games good. So is Oxygen Not Included.
DSP devs have said from the start that enemies will be optional
Blueprint tycoon is an AMAZING factory game with simple graphics and amazing gameplay. You guys need to check it out.
Fortress Craft Evolved is an amazing factory building game. The UI is overly complicated but once you get past that it's a ton of fun.
thas true :D its a nice game
There is a really interested factory game called automation empire. You have to automate production to sell 30K Kg per month and is really tricky. Highly recomended
also very promising is Astro Colony, release in Q3 2022
Captain of industry and infraspace to me fall more into the city builder bracket alongside things like the anno series.
Factory games need a really solid gimmick & setting to stop them being just another factorio (for 2d) or satisfactory (for 3d even though modded minecraft was doing it earlier) because at the core all you're going to be doing is plopping down machines and belts in order to plop down fancier machines and belts
I havent gone too far but it is said to have automation later on, Astroneer could fit here as well.
Y'all missed one that came out later that is Astro colony. Very good game
Dyson Sphere Program is the best factory building game for me right now. By far the most fun one in late game where you can work on building massive factories and not worry about overly complicated transportation mechanics getting in the way. Satisfactory is sadly the very opposite - there is no way of disconnecting production into blocks. Be it by belt or vehicles, the paths are predetermined. It won't be a fully developed factory game until you can put in place logic that will determine where product is needed. Simplest one being many-to-many train connection logic like in Factorio.
Riftbreaker is wonderfull too :)
I can't believe mindustry is not here...
Dyson Sphere Program is a lot of fun.
You missed one of my new favorite called automation empire maybe even you would like it ❤
There's good company too
And iCorp looks promising when it comes out hopefully still this year 🙏
I think you should've included the Automation Empire too.
Need to look at factorio.
"Automation Empire" is a nice Factory/resors gatering game
Fortresscraft evolved was my entry into this genre.
Don't forget Space Engineers.
I love it, but It's not really a factory game though, although with the right builders they do seem to be able to turn anything into a factory.
Space engineers by itself is not a factory game, more like a sandbox ship builder. There is a mod that adds a crazy amount of "factory" content, but it's still a mod, so...
@@TotalXclipse space engineers let's play?
dunno if The Planet Crafter counts but i really lked the demo and looking forward to its release.
It's good fun but id classify it more as a survival sim than a factory game
If you liked the demo and don't already own planet crafter then I'd go ahead a buy it. Very chill game and the devs are adding new stuff every 2-3 months.
i love the compilation but one that you missed is The rift breaker
I like riftbreaket but there's not so many factory elements in it, more of a base defence style resource management game
Honestly, Factorio could be a really good sci-fi movie
For anyone looking, Satisfactory is about $15 on Humble Bundle's store right now. Sept 26 through 7 days after.
Minedustry is a good title it's tower defence with factories.
I'm still playing Factorio, waiting for the expansion, and Dyson Sphere program, and waiting for the combat update.
The most useful than Factorio and not listed is Mindustry! (My best universe.)
There's some games I've seen around that didn't appear in this list but I think are worth checking out, so I'll drop a list of them here.
Timberborn
Infinifactory
Mindustry
Kubifaktorium (I think that's spelled right?)
Autonauts
Automation Empire
Transport Fever 2
Megafactory Titan
Fortress Craft Evolved
Astro Colony
thanks!
I'll definitely add a thumbs up for Timberborn - beavers building a society, farming, planting and chopping trees, etc. And now in recent update with robot beavers to help your real beavers happier (queue robot uprising in some future patch ^^).
As much as Timberborn is a great game it is not a Factory game but a colony sim. If Timberborn counts as a factory game then so does Oxygen Not Included and Rimworld.
I really enjoyed fortress craft evolved but haven't revisited it for a while.
Captain off industry alot off fun to play , satisfactory our hydroneer also alot off fun!
