- Satisfactory is one of my favorite games of all time. In this video we will dive into what makes Satisfactory such a great game and why it is so easy to sink hundred of hours into it without feeling like you've even scratched the surface of what the game has to offer. If you like factory and automation games like satisfactory remember to subscribe to the channel for more content like this. Thank you all for watching and I'll se you in the next video.
- Hry
It's very addicting just to walk through a giant factory thinking "I made this" ^_^
I know right
@@Ventix. And the total and absolute destruction of entire eco-systems via chainsaws and explosives plus flishing resources down the sink so I can build stairs XD "The gentle touch of humanity has arrived" XD
As an industrial engineer student i fell like home while playing satisfactory , managed to put 1000 hours in the game , the last 300 hours were more building nice structures to encase my factories . It just never gets old . THE FACTORY MUST GROW !!!! 😀
THE FACTORY MUST GROW
...And I thought that was just a Factorio saying!!
- The Factory Must Grow -
"It's a very relaxing game."
Yeah, and then you hear a fuse blow and you stare in disbelief at your 80 diesel generators, 6 nukular power plants and all the coal thingies...
This game gave me a whole new kind of phobia 😀
😂😂 my worst fear
6 nuke plants? Who has the will power to have less than 250 nuke plants
power storage: bruh
@@Thegentechgamer Me: I'm overproducing power by a factor of 10. Why would I ever need power storage? Me a week later: trying to bootstrap a single fuel generator with a bunch of bio generators.

I got this game because a friend of mine was playing it and I decided to give it a try and now I have 2 full time jobs. My real job and now my factory job, WTF?? But in all honesty I am now fully addicted and really glad I picked this game up and can't wait for the 1.0 release.
Never tried Satisfactory (yet) but have 1,000's of hrs in Factorio and Dyson Sphere. I'm somewhat interested in giving it a try, especially after the 1.0 release is due to come out sometime in the near future (writing this comment on 4/21/24). Satisfactory looks really super good in the 3-D Unreal-5 graphics engine and I really like that.
Thanks for this video on Satisfactory - Well Done Dude!
This game is just insane. It is one heck of a sandbox. You can go totally casual and relaxed or full on OCD insanity. It looks incredible either way and runs great! Great commentary Ventix.
Only 95 subscribers so far? You should have more, lots more. These are the things I like about your vids compared to all others out there:
- The camera shows the GAME (subject matter), not your pretty face talking to the camera about the game (I despise talking heads in videos)
- You speak fast, and intelligibly
- You cover so much in fast video clips that aren't possible to describe using words in less than an hour
👍
Thanks for the kind words!
that conveyors clipping... Good vide btw :D
I know I these clips are from a bit earlier in my world where I was more concerned with just making the parts rather than having them all look good
@@Ventix. hahaha it was a joke, it was funny for me to see that (maybe my world has some clipping too xd), hope you grow your channel, good videos!!
@@fedeay10 Thanks for watching man
Your last part is the reason i fell in love with satisfactory, its relaxing. Its easy going. I can fight monsters if i want, but if i don't i can just relax turn a podcast on and vibe.
elite vibes
nice video again. I hope you gain a lot of subscribers with your content
Thanks a lot man
idk how I found this video, but well done my dude!
Thanks
You definitely deserve more than the 350 subs you currently have.
You are every bit as good as the Bitzes (Bitz and ImKibitz) at the game.
Thank you so much!
Satisfactory is the game with the highet ROI I ever got. For the amount of playtime, this game is sooooo cheap. Waiting for 1.0 to start a fresh game.
couldn’t agree more
A couple thousand hours in myself... seeing the quartz clip the cliff side "passable" then seeing your manufacturer belt clippage filled me with rage ahahaha.
i’m sorry the worlds still a major work in progress 😂
Well done my guy! Fantastic video!
Thanks
I bought it less than a week ago and already have 65 hours in it 😂
I've struggled to find games recently that I can actually enjoy and this ticked a lot of boxes.
that’s exactly how it was for me when I first bought it
Dont give up on yt! You got a great start so far, hope you expand a bit over the next few weeks...
Thanks so much
Another great video keep them coming!
Will do
yeah man indeed, awesome game ! and the communication between the developer and the community is so qualitative ^-^
Couldn't agree more!
Just saw the other video, and came and watched this one. The quality is great for a small channel, which is probably why you've grown so much in the past month since the original video. Congrats on the success, and I'm looking forward to more videos in the future! :D
I wish there were more decorations and stuff like that in the game. But it is one of my favorite build systems. And I'd rather have satisfactory build mechanics than all the options that fallout 4 out 76 offer.
Like valheim is the only build system I like more... And I was just wishing I could automate the resource gathering like I can in satisfactory.
This is def the cozy game I return to.
500hs solid mid game territory
Yuppp 😂
The game definately has it's ups, but it also has its downs. My biggest downer is how overwhelming the game can get. Usually practice helps with this issue, but the closer you progress to phase 4, the more complex and time consuming it gets. I never finished phase 4, and don't plan to until 1.0 launches. I do miss the playing the game though. The visuals are great, and I love seeing the builds people make.
Nice video! Keep them coming!
Thanks! Will do!
MY personal theory about automation as a genere is just that it never feels like you are at a good "break point"
sure you may have just unlocked a annoying milestone in satisfactory, but look, now you get tier 3 conveyors and miners mk2, do you really wanna leave without trying your new toys?
and i mean... it is only really trying if you can automate them at least a little. and the circle continus until its 5 am.
Satisfactory however always had one thing few other Automation games offer to me. Understandable numbers. sure i might get a 4 lane stacked steel belt with 270 items throughput each, but what am i using that for? like 15 stators a minute 60 steal beams a minute and some other small numbers in different things. Comapare that to factorio where the average item stacks to 100 and the average train carries 4k per wagon in a system that runs a multible trains per minute. The smaller amount of production per space makes it feel... less dauting even if there are difficulties.
However i will always stay true to factorio for the endless amount of customizeability and the existence of a super solid logic system
Satisfactory makes me feel productive while not being productive at all.
so true
i realy like your the style of vidoes you are making if you would stream I would defenetly wach ot
i’m definitely going to do them in the future
Hi, one question. How do you place platforms in a straight line like that? Is this a mod?
nope it’s vanilla 😂
@@Ventix. Howww
Good Promo. Its worth to let the world know ^^
I have put over 200+ hours into the game... I gave it a fair chance.... but I hated it. It takes ages to get anything done... the distances.... the lack of terrain tools... lots of things don't properly align... the awful GUI.... the extremely limited blueprint system... no wonder why people often install mods (which is risky) in an attempt to fix some of these flaws.
Building in Satisfactory feels like trying to paint your house with a toothbrush.
i got like 1k hours in Satisfactory and i don't even have a mega base (i did started many times again bc of the updates)
Great video and I definitely agree with all these points, but I have a question…did you *breathe* at all while recording? I was out of breath just listening to you lol.
I go through and cut out all of the breaths and dead spaces when i’m editing the video
@@Ventix.I figured. Between the cutting and how fast you talk, it felt a little caffeine induced lol. It didn’t take away from the video though, I still enjoyed it.
@@ENDER_Music I’ll definitely work on slowing down in the next video i’m still in the mindset of talking fast because i’ve been primarily making tiktok content for the past couple of years where talking fast is key 😂
Counterpoints for me specifically:
Satisfactory has way too much jank that gets in the way for me.
* Power system is inaccurate; producing 50mw is not enough to satisfy a grid that takes 50mw and blows the fuse.
* Speed modules are non-automatable, which is fine for resources you transition out of early on like wood in factorio or biomass in this, but something as useful as speed modules should be automatable.
* Enemies are roadbumps and exist for the sake of having enemies. They add nothing to the game, though I've heard rumblings they're working on adding wave-defence like in Factorio or DSP.
* Not building top-down hurts a lot and slows the game to a crawl, relative to other games. The snap system requires you to consistently break out hacks and tricks to get curves or non-grid shapes.
* Smaller point; you can't see what recipes a building's making without interacting with it.
* Blueprints feel like a crime towards other blueprint mechanics, factorio & DSP both have an excellent system for this, but Satisfactory's blueprint doesn't even snap with itself; you have to manually add power & belts.
* Vehicles & their programmable paths are a really cool concept but just end up being janky; they basically admit the system isn't good enough by making them phase through terrain if they get stuck (which they do, even when they really shouldn't be getting stuck).
* Rail pieces behave stupidly, with some corners/bends not being possible unless you chop it in two. Trains as well seem inflexible but that's obviously with me coming from factorio where a M:M system is more than possible in vanilla. (Arguably trains being inflexible is not the end of the world and maybe a bit too demanding)
In your video you adress efficiency as something that makes satisfactory awesome, which I hope you don't mean *only* satisfactory.
Personally as well, I don't really like the open world aspect; i feel like it distracts too much from the factory building portion. Though I know there's plenty of people disagree with this, so I don't mind as much.
It just feels like the game does not really respect the time you put in, other games have tools that let you build more factory, faster, but satisfactory really doesn't. Besides the budget blueprint system.
Despite the janky requirement to use tricks and hacks, building is just fun and I agree with that point fully.
I feel like a lot of the points you've made apply to other automation games too, if not more.
Thanks you for you thoughtful nuances
Don't forget it's still early release. Your feedback is good, make sure to let the devs know on the feedback website.
Do you have satisfactory streams/vods? I am looking for a really good satisfactory let's play
Not at the moment
Can anyone else suggest me a good satisfactory let's play?
My OCD doesn’t let the spaghetti happen
Edit: you also earned my sub
Thanks man
@@Ventix. 👍
cant wait about your opinion after you finally adventure the factory games
specially AFTER you played dyson sphere program, lol
in progress
You should do a Satisfactory LP series!
I’ll be streaming one starting next week
What I don't get is why this doesn't click with me. I love factorio and DSP. I love the blueprints.
Satisfactory feels tedious, because the blueprinting is basically not available (too limited to be useful to me).
BUT I do love stationeers, which is on a whole different level of tedium than satisfactory. Somehow satisfactory falls in this inbetween zone, between convenience and scale, and the tedium mattering to make the simulation feel deep.
I tried getting into it a couple times but I keep bouncing off. It keeps puzzling me. I occasionally click such videos to see if it gets me excited, but somehow it doesn't work.
interesting
Nice! I need to check how many hours I've spent in the game...
You should!
In my case, I'm at 866h so far... and I probably spend half the time trying to make my buildings as decent as possible.
I can definitely relate to that
i might have to hop on againnnnnnnnnnnnn i put like 30-40 hours into it but sorta got burnt out. How do you recommend i get started again?
Definitely
Started about 3 days ago. Played before, but only like 20 hours. Just take easy steps for the beginning. Take your time, you don’t need to do everything perfect from the start. Don’t overthink the layout at the beginning. Just have fun. You can organize things later if you like.
That’s what I would recommend you.
Started playing again today!@@TheRealAlan
@@obsolete9734 Nice. Have fun!
Im literally playing it while seeing this video the last fact couldnt be more real jajajjajjaa
that’s so ironic
the clipping and spaghetti and the 4 minute mark😭
😂😂
it's awesome right until you need todo tier 5 and 6 "mats" - then it become extremely tedious with mass production being slow and the need for so many bolts. and don't get me started on aluminum production.
agreed
I just don't think it isn't "the most", because IMHO it is repetitive in terms of every playthrough, the same resources, places, etc are in the same place. I miss procedural generation to make every run unique. This is my take. I know the game have beautiful graphics and the spaghetti can make this look awesome, but once I play once, the the ones will be the same regardell of how many variation of building styles I make in each location.
very valid
I have 600 hours into Satisfactory and have yet to launch a rocket 😔
same…
W video
Thanks
1800+ hrs ingame. 🤪
Yessir
Value for your money nothing beats this game. Mid-priced game with many players hitting over 1000 hours gameplay. Cents per hour.
Even most "free to play" games are more expensive with micro transactions.
i couldn’t agree more
While I agree with all of your points I don‘t see how Satisfactory does them better than Factorio. Especially after Oil production Satisfactory becomes pretty tedious, because you need massive factories but still have to build lots of things individually. While Factorio manages to bridge the gap with Construction Robots, who build stuff for you and make increased scales not increasingly tedious.
You definitely have a point I don’t have to much experience in factorio but your right about the oil production
@@Ventix. I would absolutely recommend trying factorio, in my experience it is just Satisfactory in 2D, with significantly more quality of life features, more insane automation and more sense of purpose.
Sub number 438
Hey ! I completely agree with you Ventix. Although, man. You talk fast. too fast ! Waaaaaaay too fast. The downside of playing a game that exciting !
Noted!
I agree, a bit too fast for my liking. Great video otherwise!
I need more help
there are a lot of tutorials on youtube
Nice video, but there is some popping on your mic, especially around 1 minute, makes the sound a bit annoying.
Sorry about that
bro them crates
I know right
satisfactorytools is better
noted
Does not work on Linux.
Pathetic
Install a windows OS on a digital PC then
533 hours logged so far, 100% of them on Linux. Valve has worked wonders with Proton.
@@michaelmosier9496 Yeah l, still works for some people, it's very, very inconsistent
@@zenoheilmann7829 There's no way I am downgrading to Windows, even on a virtual machine
fortunately i don’t use linux 😂
great video love the content. (Future let’s play?)
I think i’m going to stream a satisfactory play through
@@Ventix. WHERE!?!?! will it be on CZcams, Twitch, another platform? The only good streamer (in my opinion) Is ImKibitz, but one isn't enough!!! I need to watch Satisfactory while I play it!!!!! Also, WHEN!??!!?!??! Also^2 Incase you haven't gathered, I think streaming it would be a fantastic idea, and would much appreciate it lol
@@robbie523 I’ll be streaming on this youtube channel and i’ll probably start streaming pretty soon
