The final constraint, lag, is a technical one: simulating all these moving parts is expensive. One cannot simply “move an assembly line three meters to the left”. This forces players to make early choices with these constraints carefully in mind, because there is a linear (and generally large) time cost associated with rebuilding a production line.

Every machine and foundation is placed by hand. Unlike Factorio, Satisfactory never automates factory construction. The knowledge that this loop is coming pushes players to lay out new factories, and adopt general strategies, which facilitate observation, expansion, and refactoring. Improving production rates is the foundation of a key gameplay loop: observing current behavior, expanding production lines to create more, and redesigning or reconnecting lines in new ways. Once automated, we want higher production rates in order to build more sophisticated things, fulfill required power production, or satisfy whatever goals we set for ourselves. We automate things because building them by hand is time consuming. The desire to save time creates new goals: Satisfactory isn’t a game about factories–it is a game about building factories. (I claim, having played this game for more than two hundred hours). The time constraint is critical, though: as players, we want to spend our time well. These constraints shape what kind of structures and strategies we use in factory design. The tech tree is self-explanatory: solutions to problems can only use buildings and tools which we have researched. Instead of viewing Satisfactory in these terms, I think of the game in terms of three main constraints: Resources can be transported arbitrarily long distances without loss or power, via belts. Space constraints are mainly enforced through aesthetic preferences: it is always possible to escape the limitations of local terrain, trees, rocks, etc by building a suitably large flat plane above them. Factories generally require little supervision or active control. Waiting long enough guarantees you’ll have enough parts. The game has no time limits, no quotas other than what you accept for yourself, and what consumables one needs (fuel, ammunition, filters) are readily fulfilled by small production lines. Many of the constraints one would assume shape the design of a real factory, or even other factory sims, are absent or muted in Satisfactory. This is only one possible language for Satisfactory-if you’ve played the game for a while, you’ve undoubtedly started to create your own.

Using these patterns together helps generate a series of buildings which work together. The patterns are described in relationship to each other: each helps to organize, to refine, or to flesh out, others. Each of the patterns identifies forces present in a particular context, and resolves them by describing a particular kind of place, in which an arrangement of structures can resolve those forces. This is a pattern language: a grammar which generates buildings.

COVID-19 has given me license to spend FAR too much time playing it, and I’d like to share a few thoughts that I hope might prove useful, or at least interesting. Satisfactory is a first-person factory construction game. With apologies, as usual, to Christopher Alexander.

If your megafactory requires alternate recipes, then explore regularly to get them hard drives.Update : Owen Jacobson has written a lovely companion to this piece which covers new dynamics in update 5.

supercomputers) and work your way down, you can figure out how many machines you want and how many nodes you will need.

With the basics being made, get an idea of the speed at which you want to create things.

Always have a solid supply of conveyor-making materials: plates, reinforced plates, steel beams, reinforced beams.

If you plan on building large structures, have a solid supply of concrete and plates at the ready.

Iron is used for everything, so make sure you have tons of rods and plates.

Always go big on expanding power - since you really don't want to have production stop.

Seer it into your soul and it will be your guide.

SATISFACTORY GUIDE MANUAL

In terms of preventing a serious bottleneck - where you are forced to do a bunch of manual crafting or something. You will always have access to less of some resource than every other in a chain. Well, the thing is that bottle necks are inevitable. There are other posts and comments around here that really dive into how splitters work to squeeze the efficiency as high as possible - but it may be to a degree beyond what most would notice. It has some guides for splitting resources in prime numbers above 2 and 3, so with the proper combinations, you can split resources into any fraction you wish. This post is one of the most helpful so far.
