Why aren't you playing Factorio, Yea Forums?

satisfactory is better

The artstyle isn't messy at all

You don't need to be a genius. Just don't be a dumb quitter and you'll launch a rocket. It literally doesn't matter how long it takes. As long as you're doing research you're progressing. If all goes to shit you can just abandon your base and start up somewhere else.

How long is the learning curve?

Crashed into a main water pipe while testing out plane mods and simply replacing the pipes wont' work. Probably has something to do with my nig-rigged plastics industry but the system was set up ages ago and I'm too retarded to figure it out.

Fix your power supply.

Satisfactory is a factory game where the factory part is the least satisfying part.

A few hours. Just take it slow and automate production of all the buildings.

everything has cracks and details on it making my eyes hurt

Because I'm making 3D furry porn.

It's just so boring. After a point there's no more problem solving, just repeating the same solutions on a larger scale.

*tier 7 in satisfactory

Satisfactory is a worse game on a technical level, but more enjoyable when you just want to build stuff in a sandbox. Factorio might as well be played in a spreadsheet.

literally just stopped playing for today
almost at the rocket for the 1st time, producing yellow science
playing this game co-op is so nice when you can share planning and production

Is Dyson Sphere Program any good?

It's good and looks pretty but incomplete. Wait a few years.

I got 500 hours out of it. I get urges to play again but Im going to wait for the expansion to put another 500 in

Come home...

I wouldn't say smart but you do need some mental stamina, planning out your factory for maximum efficiency and connecting the dots when something happens can tire you out pretty quickly if you never played it before., especially while under the pressure of biters

Needs more artillery soaring through the sky.

I really don't get this game, bros.

Assembling machines, power poles, pipes and underground pipes, chem plants, rail signals, and chain signals for the minimum

It looks super fucking boring.

this is the first time i've ever seen someone describe an entirely 2d game as having a "restricted camera"

Someone made a shader that makes it 2.25D, apparently.

Kek

>restricted camera
how? you can zoom out if you want.

Because I went too hard into my initial factory and now that the local resources are dried up I either have to pack up and move to the promised land (there's an absolute shitload of all sorts of good shit WAAAAAAY off to the west) or I have to start laying down enough tracks to keep everything flowing smoothly where I am.

>Why aren't you playing Factorio, Yea Forums?
But I am though.

How long did this take to make?

Because I'm having a cup of coffee before I jump back in.

dunno wtf he was on about with the camera but the art style is not very nice to look at all, and isn't very clear unless you know what you're looking at

>How long did this take to make?
It's a 2 rocket per minute megabase. Probably 200 hours, but I'm not exactly efficient. That copper feeds 48 saturated blue belts of green circuits, which is less than half the green circuits I'm producing (something like 250k per minute).

Art style is perfect for the type of game it is.

>having that many resources just sitting still on a belt
Your throughput is shit and you should feel bad.

Boring and miserable? You're right, it is perfect.

>Why aren't you playing Factorio, Yea Forums?
Because it feels like work
I only enjoy it in while jobless or in vacation. Same as dwarf fortress

>a game about engineering
>the artstyle shows smoke and gears and machines working
>somehow that's boring

call it miserable, because it is.. but it's not boring

I wanted to, then the devs used shilled the "current thing" and I have a personal law against that.

I have problems.

I channel my autism into MSFS.

I played 3 hours when I bought the game and decided to delete it because I realized the addictive factor and noticed that I would waste hundreds of hours in a fictitious factory that only exists to feed itself.

Meds

This is the best game I've ever played that I'm absolutely terrible at. How do I git gud?

I would want to build optimized setups but if I do that then it just be soulless so for me it's better not to play.

wat

Identify the main problems you are having in the game and read tutorials and watch videos for solutions. You will expand your repertoire little by little this way, and after hundreds of hours you will know how to do a lot of things that seem extremely clever to those who don't know the game.
Don't get obsessed with trying to create insane things, either. Just do whatever it takes to have fun and study new things little by little.

You do stupid shit. You realize it's good enough. You kill everything.
Then you unlock bots and automate everything without needing belts, trains, balancers, and whatever complex garbage you need, because bots are overpowered.
Now you kill even better.
You win.

not on sale

I stopped playing because I get stuck, can't seem to properly find a balance between protecting base with wall defenses and pumping electricity for all the production malls and miners. Also I still haven't figured out how to expand my base to get more resources, I tried making a walled off outpost with trains but it's a bit too costly. Lastly, I don't know how to make trains efficient, best I could do is make 1 closed track for one resource transportation.

I can't think of a game that provides more value for its costs than Factorio. $30 is a steal for what I've gotten out of it.

>a game that provides more value for its cost
Not him but Terraria, hands down no contest. I spent a fucking dollar on that game and have 600 hours logged.
That being said Factorio is still worth the price.

PC games are always on sale. Factorio even has a demo if you want to see if its worth your money.

Fair counterexample. Factorio is still excellent given the asking price.

This. Satisfactory is actually fun while factorio is dreadful to play
