The difficulty could definitely be tweaked. I think the circuit board recipe might be better off in a manufacturer and maybe an alt as an assembler recipe. But that would require a lot of change.

Maybe nerf liquid fuel power a bit and add a vaporized fuel tier between it and nuclear?

I think it be neat to go through some sort of liquidized coal power like your thinking after the basic coal plant.

Then to fuel, turbo fuel and then rocket fuel before moving into nuclear. Ease players into the more complex set up step by step and before they know it they're building a full recycled nuke plant. Rocket fuel is actually easier then turbo fuel, all you have to do is add in Nitrogen Gas and you good to go. Hell you even get back one third of the compacted coal you put into the system to use elsewhere. No reason to let it idle because plain fuel is perfectly OK.

Satisfactory does a pretty damn good job of scaling the building needs but for what ever reason you can complete the game on only basic fuel generators if you wanted to. That seems like such a waste too me as the nuke plants are pretty fun to build and manage and I get a kick out of seeing all the glowy dangerous stuff zipping around on belts. I just warms my heart to see it...and irradiates my body too I guess. Having a train chocked full of nuke waste zipping around the world keeps me on my toes as it will kill you if it drives by and your near the tracks. Good thing clones are cheap I guess.

I wish I could say the game was rushed and they didn't really think end game through but the Dev's had 5 bloody years to get the game done. Only Sweeds could take 5 years to make a game and still half ass the end parts.

The game obviously got appeal as player count is still holding at like 30K a month for an almost year old game and with the DLC coming out "soon" Coffee Stain has the money and time to get this shit right.

I have to finish my 1.0... 1.1 playthrough before that. Really taking my time.

I hope they add more depth to the combat. Maybe some underwater or underground stuff.

I just found out about "drilling" and building under the map, which seems fun.

meh it will just be a new map, nothing really earth shattering. I sure wouldn't expect any changes to combat or any new features any time soon sadly. If I remember correctly they did have some features they wanted to add if the demand was there but they never elaborated on what they were.

Not that I won't enjoy a new map, after 3,000 hours I know this one like the back of my hand. I've even started to keep all the stingers, spitters and hogs alive just to keep things a bit spicy for when I'm out and about. Try building belt highways and train lines when you have 3 alpha stingers leaping at you constantly...fun!

A new map and a node randomizer are near the top of my list, so that'll be cool.

You want something crazy? Try Satisfactory Plus mod. It's a whole and I mean whole new ball game.

But it's super hard and ultra complex so much so that even Let's Player's like Kibitz don't mess around with it too much. I gave a small whirl a few months before the 1.0 update and it's crazy deep. New power sources, new resources, tonnes and tonnes and tonnes of new parts and buildings. Hell you can even farm if you want too. Everything is different except the world map.

But it's not easy at all. It's a complete new game IMHO and I do plan to give it a real try once I get 1.1 done but for now it's on my back burner.

I never understood mods that make these factory games "harder". I'd imagine factorio being hard meant more survival, but just adding additional buildings and lowering production rates is the equivalent of bethesda doubling the hp of mobs and calling it expert mode.
 
Coffee Stain announced 1.2 is coming soon to the experimental branch

Mostly just more tweaks to performance issues to get the game ready for console release in a month.

The Merch Store is doing a big sale so if you wanted some CS merch now is the time I guess. I'm happy with the stuff I got last year so I might grab that OST record and make a wall display out of it.

And....fluid trucks? Ya, I guess people have been asking for a way to move fluids via truck so they'll be added in 1.2. I dunno whut use it might have but hey more choice is always better.

Trucks? Never use them.

The multi function pen is actually great. I recommend it.

I know right? Fluid trucks? that makes zero sense to me. trucks already suck so who exactly is asking for a way to move fluids with them? buff fluid rail cars that might help but TRUCKS?

But they did leak that mark 3 pipes will come too so you will be able to finally fully use the pure oil nodes. probably a new water extractor too I'd bet

Spent all weekend trying to relearn signals. Finally realized I was missing a block signal facing against traffic on my passthroughs.

At least I got it sorted. I have over 30 stations.

Phew!

Lots of folks get off on difficulty. Just look at the success of Dark Souls. I can't stand those games, I'm just too old and no longer have the reflexes needed. I still recall in horror the day some sub-teen beat me in Halo CTF, squealing over and over and over as he killed me and tea bagged my ass each time. Getting old is a terrible thing.

When it comes to factory games for me I like complexity because it makes me think more. I get pleasure from solving logic puzzles, which is all these games really are, so the more complex the more fun I tend to have. Hell Factorio is nothing more then a logic gate/circuit designing exercise with a paint of coat slapped on to hide it...I think that's why autistic's love it so much.

To each their own though, some folks just want to power through and get the game completed and while I never understood that attitude I can at least respect it. Satisfactory leans towards the pretty easy side already so I'd personally like more challenges when it come to the puzzles, thats all.

Hell I have over 3500 hours in Satisfactory (I really have to stop tearing things down and rebuilding every time I find a more efficient design) and I still have not ever fully completed it. And that doesn't bother me at all. More to do! More lines to perfect, more production chains to set up and more logistic systems to design!

The factory must grow!

It's that time of year again! Ficsmas is here!


Nothing new at all, the excuse is to give the new console players a chance to experience Ficsmas before it gets up-dated...sure whatever.

I'm sad to see the presents are now just tiny little things, good-bye to my beloved massive, earth shaking gifts from the sky.
 
I just got back into it after taking a break for a bit. I still have my ficmas stuff from last year in my base lol.
Just unlocked the last phase belts. Last thing looks to be the interdementional portals. I've not started on any of the space elevator parts yet so that will be something I guess. It's a good thing I have so much backed up production at this point because I think if everything was running I would need like 2x the power I'm currently generating. I was going for nuke power, but never finished that build.

yah I passed the 1K hours mark and still haven't weened myself off rocket fuel. I really really need to move into nukes and soon as my power usage is getting pretty scary. Got a finish the Red Forest logistics and sort facility then nukes, I promise for real this time.

probably...

Yeah but then you remembered that half built factory somewhere else....
It's funny, I listened to a lot of MATI and Kino Casino while playing and I'll randomly remember something about a lolcow when going back to an older factory. Don't know if it's good or bad that my HMF factory gives me flashes of Rekeita. :really:
 
It's never a bad time for a tear down and rebuild! If you've got a better way to get stuff made it's a shame to let it go to waste.

yee...that's why even after 3.5K total hours played I still haven't finished the game. I really need to stop tearing down everything every time I get a better idea.
 
OMG 1.2 will have a fucking PAUSE BUTTON

Thank Jebus at last we can pause the game without quitting.

Rain is coming back as well!

New game modes too? I dunno what that means? Random node spawns maybe?

The upcoming DLC will be a whole new map but when it will release they can't say. Not anytime soon that's for sure.


hyped for 1.2 am I

1.2 needs a remote on/off button so I can point at a row of machines and turn them all off.

The last Bauxite processing node is now complete...well almost complete. I'll decorate it later, I promise.

But with that, all the Bauxite in the world is now mine and I can use it to make...

Screenshot_20260116-000500.png

120 Fused Frames per min!

Ok can I have the last 300 hours of my life back please?

So next up I guess I should start on Nukes as my current factory is eating up 125K MW of the 130K MW I am producing. Looking forward to that at least. And after that maybe I can finally think about moving onto Phase 5 for once. Really, I've never completed all of Phase 5 despite over 2,000 hours of play.



I wonder how hard Ficsonium power will be?
