Au début, on se bagarre avec des buissons pour que tout fonctionne. Ensuite, on découvre le charbon et la vie prend de nouvelles saveurs. On débloque des véhicules, on part explorer, puis on leurs traces des itinéraires pour qu'ils acheminent automatiquement nos ressources. Pour débloquer des trains, on essaye d'automatiser les cadres modulaires lourds et on se rend compte du casse-tête que ça va être, puis on se dit que ça serait une bonne idée de construire un réseau ferroviaire qui relis les 4 coins du monde. Et tout se complexifie, les quantités augmentent et on a la Satisfaction de voir nos lignes de production tourner à plein régime avec cette courbe de consommation électrique parfaitement stable. Il y a des tapis roulant, ai-je besoin d'un meilleur argument pour vous convaincre ?
While Factorio didn't really click with me, Satisfactory is one of the most fun timesinks I've ever had!
It's gorgeous, plays very well and easily, you can unleash your creativity however you want (all hail spaghetti!) and the sub-objectives keeps you occupied enough to pursue that big project at the end! It's perfect for engineers, like me.

Demonic piece of software. Once I had to pull up a calculator, Google Docs, pen and paper, and start drawing blueprints, I knew that the worms had infested my brain and that The Fog was drawing ever closer.
This is still in early access, so I assume the devs are fully aware of all the problems, but I'll throw in my two cents:
• The map is too big and too empty. There's a lot of interesting biomes, but zero reason to explore. Having to travel longer distances for resource nodes is a waste of time and a glorified loading screen - you will not find anything on your way to your destination, and nothing will kill you.
• Enemies are barely a thing and only serve as minor annoyances. The game throws some pretty cool weapons at you, but you don't have any reason to use them, since everything dies with 2-3 hits from your laser sword anyways.
• 99% of the factories are the same thing. They don't get more complex and satisfying to build - they just get bigger and more tedious.
For the final few products, I just started putting down a bunch of overclocked Manufacturers and feeding them manually, because factories for stuff like Supercomputers are insanely hard to optimize, and way too slow even when fully optimized.
Noped the fuck out once I calculated how long it would take me to build all the Phase 4 Space Elevator parts.

This game will suck your life away. A masterclass in base building and the only video game that has ever gotten me to bring out a calculator and spreadsheet. Factory automation is never a game category I thought id enjoy but I put 100 hours into this in less than a month and I still cant stop expanding my empire. Highly recommend.
