I love factory style games, but I can't play one without comparing it to the masterpiece that Factorio is, which is sad, because Factorio is such a good game, that few games stand up to it.

Satisfactory is up there, but not quite close enough. It's amazingly fun, 3D building makes up for some amazing vertical factories, and the world exploration is awesome.

My only problem is something that can hardly be fixed. Blueprints don't exist in Satisfactory, and that means that you cannot copy and paste a solution you already implemented before. That means that increasing your production turns into a chore because you need to build everything all over again, which is especially annoying with buildings that require two different ingredients.

It's a different experience, but it won't dethrone Factorio.
