Satisfactory Tips

Satisfactory—the first-person, open-world factory-building game by Coffee Stain Studios—has become quite an astonishing hit. Its gamers take control of an Engineer, who crash-landed on an alien planet named Massage-2(aB)b. Set with the task of building colossal, immense factories of enormous complexity collecting resources to produce complex items and eventually launching a space elevator, the game offers exploration, automation, and problem-solving in a fun and unparalleled way.

But to venture onto Massage-2(aB)b unprepared is a daunting task: resources are scarce, logistical nightmares can prevent the best-made plans from bearing fruit, and the wildlife is very, very hostile toward your industrial ambitions. Worry no more, fellow Pioneer! This guide will prepare a treasure trove of tips and tricks to fluidize the construction of your factory, perfect production lines, and make sure you emerge victorious above the face of this alien landscape.

Early Game Strategies

The early steps of Satisfactory lay the foundation for the industrial empire you will be building throughout the game. Some important tips to get off on the right foot include:

• Automate resource gathering as soon as possible. Don't be bogged down in manual resource gathering; automate simple resource collection with miners and belts at the soonest. It will allow you to be free to pay attention to the expansion of the factory and the environment around it.
  
• Prioritize Power Production: An ever-growing, expandable power grid is important to the success of your factory. Start with the Biomass Burners, but eventually transition to sustainable power sources like the Geothermal or Coal Power Plants.
  
• Plan How Your Factory Will Look: While a higgledy-piggledy, sprawling factory might look charming at first, organization becomes so important later. Make sure to have dedicated areas for processing the resources, making them, and storing them. This will avoid big logistical headaches later on.
  
• Unlock the HAM and MAM: The HAM and MAM research stations unlock valuable technology improvements and bonus unlocks. Deconstruct some essential research, including Automation research and alternate recipes to increase the efficiency of your production.
  

Optimizing Your Operations: Mid-Game Strategies

As your factory expands and production lines get more complicated, place the focus on optimizing operations to the maximum efficiency.

• Exploit Underclocking and Overclocking: Machines run at different power consumptions. Underclocking reduces power usage while overclocking increases the production output. Tinker with these mechanics in the interest of balancing power demands with production needs.
  
• Embrace Smelting and Refining: The most raw resources have to be processed into anything useful. Unlock Smelters and Refineries to convert raw materials into refined, useful forms to feed your production lines.
  
• Prioritize Conveyor Belt Management: Spaghetti junctions (tangled networks of conveyor belts) very quickly turn into a maintenance nightmare. Use mergers and splitters for the smooth conveyor of materials throughout your factory.
  
• Unlock Logistics and Trains: As your factory grows in size, manual transportation over long distances becomes less and less practical. Unlock hypertubes or trains to move your materials over great distances quickly.
  

Mastering the Alien Landscape: Late-Game Strategies

Late game in Satisfactory brings forth newer challenges and opportunities. This is how to address them:

• Explore And Exploit Your Environment: Massage-2(aB)b is rich in biomes teeming with valuable resources. Search for deposits as you explore the world, and set up remote outposts to service your ever-expanding production requirements.
  
• Hostile creatures: Parts of Massage-2(aB)b are inhabited by hostile wildlife. Research and build your outpost and factory defensive structures, such as turrets, to avoid these creatures' attacks.
  
• Embrace Automation Tiers: Further research brings with it the ability to unlock tiers of automation, giving the possibility of working on increasingly complex chains of production. Assemblers, manufacturers, and refineries will provide all that is needed for creating intricate multi-stage production lines.
  
• Ready to Launch: Ultimately, you're heading toward actually launching a Space Elevator. By this point, you'll need to have made an almost ludicrous production of terribly complicated parts. Plan your endgame factory layout accordingly and ensure you have a steady supply of all necessary materials.
