4,000 Hours Later - How to be "Good" at Satisfactory

Seeing how terrible my first save was, does that reassure you, that you can achieve anything you want to?

Incroyable j'ai pas les mots! si seulement tu pouvez venir faire la même vidéo sur mes saves tu ne sera pas déçu ni des premières ni des dernières.😂

Adeu, without further adeu! Not a do.

I tried restarting, but after I realized how long it would take to get jetpacks and rifles and even just blade runners, I ran out of enthusiasm pretty quickly.
I went back to my first save and moved to a new area. I still want to tear down my old junk, except the power plants, but I've been too busy experimenting with long range transportation and the best way to organize resources. For some reason, I never can seem to get caterium automated properly, I just have a mental block about it.
I seem to get stuck trying to setup new factories in a way that scales nicely, but I get sidetracked and never get past tier 1 for some reason.
The one time that I did, it got really cumbersome and I gave up on it. I do have a lot of computers, though. Just... nothing to do with them.

How to be good at Satisfactory: time, learning, willingness to try new things and get creative

After a couple hundred hours you'll get really good. After 1000 hours you'll start to hit a new stage of mastery. After a couple thousand hours you are a boss

Thanks for this. Suddenly my efforts at 250hours dont seem so lacking 😊😊.
You've progressed so much, look forward to your next 4k hours (and more)

ADVERT: If you are an adult who can afford two entire years of your actual life (to the tune of 8 hours a day) on a single computer game, you, too can be a big fish in a little pond.
Seriously, unless you are getting paid by adverts shown to 1/8 million subscribers watching you play, you need to find a more productive passtime than spending 4000 hours of single computer game.

Why making factories? Use the ground like me :p

You get used to the Mess Style watching Let's game it out

How to be good at the game "I started over a few times, now look at my massive bollocks".

I find it so funny when you said your save was lost, there is only a 60hour save for that play through. I’m like two of my entire playthroughs were just 60-70 hours each. 😂

happy to have ya mate !

This video is great. I was thinking that i've been playing now for 3 weeks and i should be doing great builds, but as you said, even 4 or 5 months of gaming time makes a player a newbie in the scheme of things. I'm looking forward to seeing the results of my first thousand hours :)

My factories don’t look messy they are just massive boxes and I’m trying to find out how to decorate my factories so they don’t end up as boxes on the outside with lack of detail on the inside

New player here with just 140 hours in, unlocked today the tier 4 belts/lifts and was a little proud, but yeah my place is a huge pile of spaghetti mixed with macaroni, I will keep going with it so I can unlock more stuff&things and once I see more of a bigger picture of all the stuff&things I'm going to have to automate, then I will consider starting a new save.
I like the chill aspect if this game and the music is nice and relaxing, it helps at my age. lol

No one is good as long as stin archi lives

Honestly, this video is great and it really makes me feel better about my mess lol

I wasted 12 minutes and 47 seconds to feel better about wasting 20 hours on a game I got on sale.

youre incredibly uplifting, thank you for being so welcoming and helpful

You have some good some bad but overall it's acceptable. There is a lot that I'd change for myself, but for you, it's great.

Thanks I needed this.

Thankyou so much for sharing your early and intricately interwoven and impenetrable industrialised imaginings! I'm up to 2150 hours on my second build and I owe a lot of my perseverance and inspiration to you.......especially the curved foundations and those damn train signals.

My problem is I have to get way more comfortable with trains and other long-distance logistics. I just really don't like trucks. Setting them up and fueling them is such a hassle.

I was more shocked that you called that pixel art of the boo "not great" than any of the spaghetti of the first base

Your first one is way better than all my attempts lol

sitting here with 111 hours.... 😟

Thank you for this video. I started playing in 2020 during the pandemic and swiftly got over whelmed with how small my brain felt while playing this game. My best friend showed me his world and i got really depressed because I could never achieve that. I'm trying it out again and learning as much as I can. This (hopefully) will help me to not be too hard on myself because it's just a game...

5x5? Iam a 5x6 fan right now ;)

After you said spaghetti a couple times I got an ad.... Guess what it was HURL- SPEGHETTI CARBONADA ! 😂😂

Who is this WE you are talking about? Who are you doing it with?

Here's the thing about continuing saves and starting new worlds. I feel that starting a fresh world and doing the grind and unlocking researches all the way up to the point you can start building good stuff again, is more of a hassle and a time sink that just building a huge number of storage containers and deconstructing your entire factory and everything you've built. You can store all the items you get and it's basically the same as having a new world to play with except now you've got all the hub upgrades done and all the Ficsit Store stuff, and you'll have a heap of building material ready to go for starting your new build.

Thats Nothing to my new base that i Build extra „Bad“

I liked the Boo

Amount of concrete required: "Yes"

This game is incredible

thank you. you made me feel better about my play through style. I know that i keep learning each restart and im going to be honest im happy about that now.

I'm still in my first world working through the last tier and think the main thing making my factory messy is not knowing which resources will need to be combined later and how big everything needs to be.
Recently moved my space elevator outside of the factory area so I could put copies of the cable production
Not sure how I feel about the game demanding thousands of objects that have a production time of a minute yet. It forces me to fix my production but since my computer is only slightly above minimum requirements I'm not sure how many copies of the same buildings I can even run

I love my spaghetti. It's all a mess, but it's a mess with a purpose.

I think at the end of the day, however i build a factories, there is at least for 1% better to make factory in fresh new save. I think, this is just the one point of this game.(to improve on designs,etc.)

The spaghetti is REAL for everyone!! Omg... I thought I was just terrible. Lol! Have gotten better though... :3 (Loved the Boo, by the way)

I'm 300h into my first world, got as far as nuke and plutonium refining.
It's now the last stretch to the current space elevator upgrade with nuclear pasta and the likes.
What really helped me was the blueprint designer and a friend that was compulsive about making stackable modules, it's advanced our production nearly 3000 fold.

I think when I finally reach that glorious end (before update 8) I'll start again in the new update, be more creative with architecture... But it will be hard moving away from my 4x4 skyscrapers of +30 smelters.

That's beautiful :)

In short how to build a perfect factory let ur imagination go wild 🙂

These videos are helping me to progress to the "Box Plus" stage, where I build a box and then tart it up to be slightly less boring

tool..
