it’s very much borrowed from one of the reddit subs i frequent(ed) often, but the idea is to share what we’re playing weekly and hopefully create discussions around those games (or simply have a sort of “check-in”).

    If you’ve tried Satisfactory, how would you compare it to Factorio? I’ve found it to be a little easier to play in multiplayer, even if it isn’t as deep from an automation standpoint (but it’s still pretty deep).

      I have played Satisfactory, I started with it when I didn’t even know about Factorio.

      They’re very different games, especially after you get robots in Factorio. You don’t place buildings by hand anymore, but mostly blueprints etc. Setups should be able to scale. I have never built rail in Satisfactory, but I think they’re different too.

      I enjoyed Satisfactory so much, but once I had seen it all it was quite dull and pointless for me. It’s not the same with Factorio, it’s so satisfying to do it all again, but with more knowledge of the game.

        I enjoy the ability to just layer your factory higher and higher. One layer is my power generation level, base layer is just iron smithing and processing, and more complex machinery higher up. Still makes a lot of spaghetti the way I make it lol 🍝

      Satisfactory is enjoyable, but I missed the same challenge that I had in Factorio. The complexity and fight against the biters is quite something. Still, Satisfactory is very… satisfactory to move around in and great with friends as well. More chill I think.
