I started in the Northern Forest, and took my time building up some factories to deal with all those pure iron nodes, and I’m just about to finish tier four. Has anyone been blazing a trail through the tiers? I’m curious what tier most folks are on.
I picked up a game server with Indifferent broccoli thinking my friends and I could build mega factories with all that sweet sweet server ram. Set the server to not pause on exit. Build my initial product lines and let the server build items while I sleep. I had damn near infinite building supplies by the second day and one friend came on, complained about the start area, and restarted the game in his preferred starting area. And haven’t seen anyone since. Meanwhile I’m on Tier 6 and have built entire tube subway lines for my friends to head to all corners of the map. And all I get in discord is “sweet” and “great” literally these same guys were talking non-stop and played for hours when I got an abiotic factor server, and beat it in a week. They even voted on Satisfactory as the next game.
Bummed
I just started today right around when I should’ve been getting to sleep. Got iron plates, rods, and screws as well as wires automated before forcing myself to stop.
I first (and last) played in I think update 5. It was a major PITA getting Proton to run it. I had gotten the space elevator built, but pretty sure I didn’t progress beyond that before a patch hit that caused the game to not even launch anymore.
Done.
Buddies on my server kinda sped run through it.
Sharing ‘magic pocket’ and sloops made the game go by WAY too fast.
As expected when I heard the changes, there is zero incentive to figure out proper logistics.
All the parts available in giant magic inventory, just power shard + sloop your way through it,
Seriously, the end game resources to send took <hour with only 1 or 2 buildings.
There is absolutely no incentive to build a larger factory.
We finished the game with a factory 1/4 the size I’ve ever created in a playthrough.
Building our my computer factory to finish T3. Still need to do heavy modular frames
I my group’s server just unlocked hyper tubes. But the real measure we are using is how many slugs are on the belts that make up our slug racing league.
