- I've spent the last few days documenting my thoughts on Satisfactory and wanted to give you a deep dive into why I've logged over 500 hours in this game. To help illustrate my points, I've included some clips from the developer's official trailers and other promotional videos. These clips highlight the atmosphere and gameplay that make Satisfactory so captivating. If you enjoyed the video, please like, comment, and subscribe for more content like this!

This video was satisfactory.
What a worthy goal to have achieved!! 😄
As is the game.
I’m at 1200. It doesn’t stop. Still have never got to Phase 4.
For real! I've got a ways to go... I think the farthest I've gotten is hypertubes and blueprints. That alone has brought many hours of fun to my playthrough!
2400 h......and I have finished the space elevator at around 600 h...and then with the Satisfactory upgrade to; I do not know anymore, the next step after around additional 100 to 150 h.
If you have never gone further than phase 4, then you have likely never played with all of the alternative recipse and Uran and Aluminium? Sorry than you have missed something.
I have so many factories running on alternative recipse most will never use just because I CAN.
@@Nobodyisperfect-us6pk It is a great feeling to expand the factory and take advantage of every recipe! I aspire to this goal!
Phase 4 does not exist. There’s a good chance they will make a fourth space elevator phase in 1.0 though. Super exited.
@@LimeMan17 Good call... I'm always confusing phases vs. tiers. Tier 4 is a lot of fun. I wonder what the new phase in 1.0 will be like...
Thousands of players have 1000+ hours in Satisfactory, and it is not even released yet, still in early access.
Until Sept 10 that is.
Planning another 1000 hours once the actual complete game is out.
Isn't it wild? This game is so captivating. I'll surely put another 1000 hours into 1.0 too!!
i played around 1700hrs. and in every playthrough i discover something new. just love it
It seems like there's an endless stream of new things to discover, and sometimes, it's just a new method or play style. I love the feeling of progression!!
I Just looked through your channel and can I just say: What a hidden gem! Your channel is amazing and you deserve way more success man, keep it up and please keep giving us these beautiful, quality videos. ❤
I hope to be more consistent with my output soon... Sometimes my other hobbies distract me... programming and music, technology and cinema. Life is simply too interesting. But these kind words really have made my day. Thank you, I really do appreciate your comment! Cheers!!
you and me both! ive got 2000 hours and never quite finished across several saves. and I love the beauty of the early game. cant wait for 1.0!!!
I love racking up the hours in early game, I could cut down trees and lay foundation all day, honestly!! 😂
1930 hours, but kept running my pc through some (or many?) nights to compensate for my weak built factories. 10. September. 2 months and 1 day from now.
Gotta keep the production line moving somehow!! Ficsit corporation depends on us!!
I have a media server that was partially specced with Satisfactory in mind. It's running a dedicated server which isn't very resource hungry (in the grand scheme of things; CPU draws single digit watts with it and all my other services running).
I started playing either as update 3 came out or just before it. I've built, rebuilt, and restarted probably a dozen times. This game really is a satisfying experience. The name of it couldn't have been better chosen. If you're on the fence about whether or not to get it, just get it. You wont be disappointed.
I couldn't agree more! It's a great time to pick up the game and start learning the ropes before 1.0 drops in September!
I did approx 1400 hours during 1.5 years. Didnt get to nuclear. Then started a new play. Done 400 hours. Have small factories all over the map. I have 1 mod, Linear motion. Gives elevators. Love them. When 1.0 drops i will start over again. Find the game relaxing. Play for an hour every time i come home from work
Oh yeah I like having a lot of small factories. I usually end up having many outposts and then a few main hubs. The mega factories are awesome but it's fun to build a lot of small ones, too.
The factory must grow.
I made a mistake and decided to hop into DSP before factorio expansion comes out, and now I'm stuck for another couple hundred hours. Again.
Love DSP. Can't wait for the dark fog part 2 (space combat, space stations)
I gave DSP a brief try but perhaps I'll need to give it another go!! I've heard only good things and I wonder if I need to put in some hours for it to hook me.
I'd love to see what they do with space combat and space stations, I love those aspects in games like Elite Dangerous and X4. I'll have to look into this update!
@andyglovergames
Dsp is an awesome game, dude.
Especially when you get to space tech and your first Dyson sphere... and you can cover entire planets with smelters... the scale is just marvellous.
@@fast1nakus That sounds amazing... I need to dive into this soon.
I love simulation games or resource management games. and of course, factory games and satisfactory is my favorite. it's not as complex as the other ones I've played but the beauty of it is the customization. you can build factories with your own design. your imagination is the limit. seeing other's build will inspire you to build a version of yours. looking down on those monstrous factories you've built from scratch is just satisfying.
I totaly agree, It is brilliant. For me it is the immersiveness and first person perspective that puts satisfactory in my favorite slot. Other games do first person but none grab me quite like Satisfactory.
Nice vid! 285 hours here, and it feels like I played this game for an eternity, making truly monstrous factories and power plants.
Indeed, it's amazing, the scale of factory that is possible in the game!
I have seen a lot of Satisfactory reviews or essays and gotta say few hit the nail on the head as this one, trying to carry over the spirit to potential non factory game players (And that in a pretty short amount of time). Well done :)
Thank you kindly! I like to play a lot of different kinds of games but I frequently gravitate toward a certain type of experience. If I can communicate the appeal of the Satisfactory game feel to a different crowd, that's a big win!
@@andyglovergames Same here. Now I got a mate who has never played any factory game Satisfactory on sale to play 1.0 with him. We‘ll see how that goes ^^
Oh nice! I hope they like it! I think it's a great entry point to the genre!!
I have just over 700 hours in this game, I've never quite finished it though every restart I do manage to get closer and closer to the end. Furthest I got was getting the materials setup for Nuclear power and just never building the factory for it.
Nuclear seems so wild, I'm excited to get to that point some day.
A friend got me to play this last week, and I've already logged over 60 hours hahahaha. It's such a satisfying loop
Welcome to the factory!! I hope you build some cool stuff... I've certainly enjoyed my time doing so. Oh, how the time slips away!
2000 hours and still going. Just started a new one to refresh my memory of the early stage before 1.0 drops. I can't remember how many worlds ive made. Some just testing mods. but fully through once vanilla and a few times modded.
Wow! I haven't even touched mods yet, I am sure it's an entirely unique experience! One day I will take the plunge.
@@andyglovergames with u8 I'm not using mods, main thing I liked is flying and god mod. Now those are already in the game. I get tired of building towers to build refineries and big stuff. So just popping into the air is nice.
@@CountryAndProud Ooh, yes. Jetpacks are super useful in games like this, it's so nice to see they've added things over time that make the player experience top notch even without using any mods.
For Most games, 500 hours is the amount of time you would need to 100% the game many times over.
For Satisfactory, 500 hours is the tutorial.
I am always learning new things in this game! It's a wonderful sandbox!
Running the nukes is such a huge pain in the ass. Hope they made it better.
I've almost finished the last Space Elevator phase on my first world.
Very nice! I'm still working toward that!!
@@andyglovergames Just finished after 560 hours on Saturday. :P
@@jessecarozza6745 Very nice congrats!! Wow, I actually just hit 560 hours today... about 40 hours into my current save!!
It’s one of my favorite games all time. Can’t wait to see what 1.0 will be and what else they do to this game down the road.
It would be cool to see some longevity after 1.0 - I'm excited for the future of the game too!
you got me in the first 4 seconds, ah the good times on the C64
Oh yes! My gaming roots! It's amazing how far we've come
@@andyglovergames I could only afford the vic-20. But, I had a cassette backup and the 16k memory expansion.. so... :) I miss Byte magazine days
load "satisfac",8,1
I just had a rush of nostalgia reading that command!
Yes it is rare for a game to have that touch, you know in that right place! But Satisfactory is definitely hitting it. I just bought the game about a week ago and I already crossed 100 hours of gameplay. The last time I took such a liking to a game was Ark Survival Evolved and I have 1400 hours in that game. So I am pretty sure Satisfactory will likely at least cross 1k hours for me. It really is a wonderful game.
I still need to try Ark, I have a feeling it would be my type of game too. I'm glad you're liking it so far, that is a strong first week!! I hope you like what you are building!!
1100 hours, almost finished building my first complete factory to produce 10 Fused Modular Frames per min. Still have not finished the game.
You can never have enough frames!!! I'm still on heavy's!!
I'm approaching 5000 hours in this game... Did 4 playthroughs starting from each starting locations.
That's awesome! I think I might switch it up and start somewhere different for 1.0, I've spent a lot of time in the starting forest.
Satisfactory is like no other game when it comes to building your enviroment . The architect in me loves it :D
It truly is like no other! While there are many games that give the user such creativity, it is not the same level or vibe... this game connects with me the most!!
glad you like the game!
Thank you! I like it a lot!! 😁
snutt?!
Yes grab it early access during steam sale, best discount before the 1.0 price change
It is the perfect time to get into the game, for sure!!
You have one of the best way of reviewing games
Thanks! Honestly it's easy to review Satisfactory because I love it and have played it for so many hours! 😊
Criss-crossed the planet 4 time with factories, trains, and drones. Can't wait till 1.0 comes out and I'll do it again. 1840 hrs in game. 😎
Whoo, thats a lot of hours, drones seem so cool. I am preparing for a challenging late game!
@@andyglovergames I'm retired, got a lot of free time. 😎
@@bobklk51 The Ficsit Co. factory is a great place to spend it! : )
304 hours here - excited for 1.0 and planning to start over then. playing other stuff for now (what i want to do will require too many flower petals and it'll be free in 1.0)
ooh, care to reveal the big plan? what else are you playing in the mean time? 1.0 will be a good time to click "new game" again for me too
@@andyglovergames Highways. A lot of them. Very high. Very ways, lol. I found the highest point of any naturally occurring structure, and then the middle-right corner of the world boundary and relocated my hub etc to there. (34 hours to transfer resources via 1 mk3 belt that was long enough, lol.) I had just unlocked the patterns I needed from the awesome shop and started on blueprints, and that's when I discovered you don't get your color cartridges back when dismantling, and also that I was going to need a /LOT/ of them. The main issue is I started that world with the promise to myself that I'd never use the chainsaw (to preserve the natural beauty). Sigh. In the meantime, I've been playing Outbrk, Beltmatic, and modded KSP1 (RSS/RO/RP-1 + Principia or vanilla w/ only kOS depending on mood). Anyway, great video. Happy gaming! :)
woah... first of all: Was totally thinking about a chainsaw-less run for 1.0 yesterday after seeing Stin Archi's Eden project again. (Bitz has a nice video on it if you havent seen it yet - very awesome base)
Secondly, wow, highways and the explorer totally consumed my playtime after posting this video. It changes the game when you're able to traverse efficiently (without an overly complicated hypertube network -- tried in my last save, was quite a task).
I didn't realize you don't get color cartridges back after dismantling, that is a bummer... I'll have to be more precious with my flower petals for now. Here's a sneak peek of what I've got going so far: imgur.com/a/5V62uB0
I'll have to check out those games. Thanks for the comment and cheers :)
@@andyglovergames Very nice. I see you made use of coated concrete, too. It looks good. I probably wouldn't need so many petals if I didn't add side lines to my road blueprints, so I'd guess that'd be about 3 times the cost of what you have there in my case.
@@xionix4 Oh yes, I bet getting detailed gets expensive fast... can't wait for the free customization 1.0 will offer. Yeah I'm really loving the coated concrete! It's a bit of a mess but little corners of my base are stating to look polished.
Strange that I've tried Minecraft and can't stand it, but Factorio, ARK, and Satisfactory are right up my alley.
Another great reason to pick up Satisfactory right now is that the sale price is lower than ever and the retail price will increase for 1.0.
what a steal!! I can't remember what I paid for it, but it was surely worth every penny, multiplied many times!
Im currently only at 200 hours but I love the idea of building up a single world, just slowly improving everything one factory at a time i absolutely love it. Im about to finish my last project before 1.0 Twin towers of 1200 turbo fuel = 104 generators, proud of that one, will probably post it on reddit once im done😄
Ooh my, that is a lot of generators! I hope I get to the point of turbo fuel and beyond in 1.0, if only I could stick with one save game for long enough 😅
I've enjoyed over 650 hours in the early access version of Satisfactory, tier 8 has enormous challenges to overcome, I'm struggling to restart the game again from scratch.
I totally get it, every fresh restart is a grind but a clean slate. 1.0 will be a new adventure.
Proud member of the four-digit-club here.
Hang in, young padavan, eventually you will get there ;)
Still working on my 4-digit membership! Thank you for the encouragement! :)
I've played 128 hours the last 2 weeks. 4,300+ total
That's what i'm talking about! Very nice!!
500+ hours. Okay, so you just started.
Absolutely! I'm just a novice, truth be told!!
Over 1k hrs here. Every few months I'll dump like 50 hrs while being COMPLETELY consumed by the game. I mean 15 hr sessions. Meal prep so I don't have to stop and cook.. Drawing out productions lines at work.. ABSOLUTLY CONSUMED. Then, out of nowhere, I stop and go "well all this feels very silly and kinda pointless. I'm done." Don't think about it at all for a few months. Then.. repeat.
This is easily top 5 favorite game of all time. But I'm really not kidding when I say, if you have any ADHD or ADD symptoms. Be careful. This is the most addictive gameloop I've ever played.
That's very relatable, I sink deep into the Satisfactory lifestyle from time to time! It's quite a wonderful experience to be immersed in it, if I do say so myself!!
@@andyglovergames I'd have to agree. Don't even get me started on the Map Design. (it's a masterpiece)
@@slumberspeak Oh yes, a pleasure to explore, and slowly learn the locations of each resource, and favorite spots to build!
2500 hrs plus been here sense update 4 😅may have a issue as well 😂 cant wait to restart on release of 1.0 soon myself 😅😅🎉🎉
That's an impressive playtime! I'll be starting fresh when 1.0 drops too, seems like a good move!
Simply the best game ever made imo
I am inclined to agree! It ranks among my favorites of all time.
Watching this in 720p was painful.
Sorry about that! I had some trouble with my editing software on this one, I'm still learning the ropes!
Yup 1162 hrs and counting 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 Would be a lot higher if I didn't work and have a wife and kids 🤣 but then I wouldn't have been able to build myself a nice PC either 🤷🏾♂️😁 "subbed" "liked" 👍🏾
Ah yes, sometimes I would like to work on my factory all day!! :)
And its on sale
For a few more days!! Nice discount too.
3:53 The game has been in EA since 19th of March 2019 on EPIC, only after a year of g@merz asking did they agree to port it to steam.
Good call. I neglected to account for its time before steam... I knew it felt like it had been longer. Thank you for the correction!!
I stopped before nuclear tier.
It seems like a big project!!
May we see your Factories?
I'd recommend checking out the community spotlights from the dev's live stream archive, andTotalXclipse has a ton of great factory tour videos too! Some very cool stuff.
I should probably make a video tour of my newest factory, I think my longest running save is right around 100 hours, which I started earlier this year. In the mean time, I do have a couple videos up of my older factories, nothing too impressive. 😅
Is this a competition? I'm in my 50s and about to cross 2,000 hours
If it is, you're ahead of me! Well done, keep up the good work!! :)
Im 58, i win. 😂 Done 1400 + 400 hours.
1.0 = September 10th, 2024
So close, yet so far!! Can't wait!!
I’m at almost 2000
That's a great amount!! Lets go!!
00:03 what the hell is that
That's an enemy that appears in some trailers, but not yet released. It's referred to on the wiki as the "crab boss"
i have 503 hrs on Steam + maybe 150 hrs on EGS (the game was EGS exclusive for a year).
Never got the golden coffee cup for the final space elevator part 😀
Can't wait for 1.0
I can't remember if I have the EGS version too, its been a while since I've opened Epic... Here's hoping you get that golden coffee cup in 1.0! :)
@@andyglovergames The first I did, was to try to sink it...yes it works an I am driving around with the golden factory car.
@@Nobodyisperfect-us6pk Sounds like you are now driving in style! Very nice!!
Like a truly honest player of satisfactory i must say, dont play it, it will SCREW your life.
Only 500 hr? Noob 😂
Yeah... its true.
@@andyglovergames i just checked and i have 384 hr
