It's a simple story conclusion that i think most people have overlooked - You are loading the game to build, nothing more, nothing less, that ship was never designed to have you sit onboard it, because why would you, your entire goal in this game is to build and help the human race chase after more planets, this is actually an extremely realistic approach to how we would actually colonize the stars, the game never actually promised you anything, only that your work, would help the human race .... well, it did, who cares about the space craft, that craft is off to another world to get it colonized, however, you're standing on a planet that still NEEDS to be colonized, you've just bumped the production up to a stablized level, yeah sure, your character will more than likely die alone on the planet, but the explorers, the ones they will send in the thousands into the stars, will be able to look at star chart data to know which planets we previously built upon, which ones were a success, and which ones were a failure, if it was a success, chances are, that planet, is habitable for those humans. But bare inmind, even if you did get onboard the ship, what would happen? .... yeah, you land on another planet, and start the process all over again. Its actually a kindness and a service to keep you on the planet, you've done your part, now its upto you what you do next, in this partcular case, working for FICSIT, to build, expand and make the planet more freidnly and less hostile. My conclusive thought at the end of this story wasn't "why didn't i go with them" it was, Yay!! i did the thing! .... lets get back to crafting! I play RCT, planet zoo, core keeper, factorio the anno franchise, im never expecting an end game reward, because the gameplay loop is reward in of itself, when im done with the story, my new adventure begins, which is normally playing a modded version.
Then again, all we really know about the situation is what ADA told us, and there is definitely a corporate propaganda spin to everything she says. The insincere nature of everything she says relating to "saving humanity" sounds more like a motivational poster, and all the gather resources to make the company profitable seems like the real reason you're on this planet.

Out of all the planets to settle on, it just happens to be one that has SAM on it? Way to coincidental, it was planned. The bigger question is, whats got humanity, or atleast in this case, the company ficsit, so worked up to need to travel across the stars, why even do all this, has earth fallen? is humanity on the brink of extinction? or maybe, has humanity found something in the stars thats not reachable, but with each new planet that gets crafted on, they get one step closer to that goal. It is possible that our telescopes of today, might see something that inspres us tomorrow, the last time this happened was taking a picture of a blackhole - but what if we saw something else, what if we spotted something that blows our minds and we get an overwhelming urge to get closer? - This is my personal theory for the games story. Keep in mind, ADA PREVENTS us from crafting things, we have to earn trust with ADA before those recipes are unlocked, we aren't developing blueprints, we are simply given them, meaning all recipes are already known to FICSIT, we don't actively learn anything new, a mere pawn, but there is one thing that happens ... a human mind connects with an Alien hivemind and ADA just so happens to be able to also talk to it? humanity in this game has known about this alien for a long time it seems.
@@Schumilex5 I see a few potential problems cropping up. We have no way of knowing if the starship plans are in the space dock, we have no way of knowing if our copy of ADA would go along with this plan or possibly try to actively try and stop you, you have no way of knowing if you can navigate your way there, and lastly you have no way of knowing if the evil corporation created you and installed a kill switch in you.

Seriously, wtf? I haven't even been able to play 1.0 yet. Got on UA-cam to relax before getting ready for bed and this is the first thing that pops up. I'm just blocking this channel if they think this is okay to do to people.
Thank you for posting this.. It's exactly what I wanted.. I played with friends for 63 hours. I found over 50 mercer spheres, over 25 somersloops, cooooountless slugs.. And I just noticed a few minutes ago that not only did they finish the game without me, they're already on tier 2 of a whole new game. So i guess this is how I see the ending. Neat..
Well, I already had very little interest in completing phase 5 since you apparently didn’t get anything, now adding this empty ending my interest in phase 5 disappeared completely
@400thekiller233 what I'm saying is, if you care, the game isn't made for you. Not all games are made for everyone. A good story isn't what would make a person who doesn't like factory games suddenly interested in them. The whole point of the game is to make a factory to make a better factory and do it until you get bored or accomplish a goal. The story is there to give you a goal from the developers, that's all.
what a bad ending. All that hard work to see a ship go through some sort of hyper space . It's not really worth it story wise but thats not what the game is about i suppose, it's about making a factory and getting satisfaction out of the process. This has helped me realise what the devs want for this game and its not a super in-depth and interesting story, which is what i was hoping for as there is a lot of potential for a great story here. Despite this I respect the devs decision and will definetly continue playing this as it is definitely so addicting and one of the most stunning looking games out there.
Not exactly, you are basically another cog in the humanity colonisation process, you did your part, stablished a self sufficient factory on the planet and helped reach the next planet, now you are free to do whatever you want while humanity keep reaching other planets repeating the same process, kinda what you could expect from a construction game, no glorious purpose, just another part of eternal expansion of planetary factories
If you're talking about anything that happened before the 1.0 update then I have some bad news. They announced in their dev blog that they threw that story out
That’s it? That’s the ending? No resolution to the Mercer Spheres, no explanation on how this saves the day, you literally just build a rocket and win this is as much a “story” as Factorio has
I think the ending sucked. Nothing was explained. What is the ship, where is it going, why did we build it, where did the aliens come from that were there before, where did they go, why do the things they left behind talk. There was tons of narrative throughout the game and the ending just sucked.
Some of the gaming commu ity, including me, doesn't care about spoilers because it's useless to care about something that doesn't affect your day to day life
So its not a food court
I was expecting to go ontop of the space elevator
Yes you can. Just use fly mode.
THERES A FLY MODE?!

Throughout the project phases I already expected we were probably building a ship, but honestly I still have no clue what's going on
yea i wouldn't include spoilers in the title and thumbnail, but for people for me who wont get to the end its nice to have a video that shows it

You are not human, you are a robot.
You have just made a facility to produce FLEETS of yourself, to automate more planets.
It is LITERALLY grey goo.
I wish we could have gotten on the ship and headed home, with an option to come back once the game ends and work on the world
imagine that and the final moment before leaving the planet is you overlooking the factory you made from high up
thanks, me and some friends ran a server to complete the game and i missed this event.
amazon worker simulator
I don’t get People crying about the spoiler.

it doesnt stop us from playing the game. It's just that in the game the goal of project assembly is SPECIFICALLY kept secret from the player.
i don't get people crying about people crying.
@gargenall8161 it's not though, if you watch each stage of the elevator you can see it building something
Its a bit disappointing, that there is no end game, like making endless Shiploads or somthing like this
Ugh, please change the thumbnail, this spoiled me :(

so you worked your best for years just to be left behind? just like real life job xD
And they left you behind to rot on the planet. Sad.
What is the purpose of the ship? What is the actual purpose of all of this?
Uhm...that you build it?
Company mandated fun fun fun. It's a factory game, no one cares what the story is. That's not the point of these kinds of games

Such an unsatisfying ending to a game named Satisfactory. The irony.
So do you still get to play after the credits??
Yep, a massive let down for everyone involved, good job guys, there's 2 weeks of my life wasted on a prerendered cutscene played on a sky box!

this could open the door for some DLC or something
thats it i touught you could go on the elevator i will not play 2 3 k hours youst that everything flyes away with a chip hell nah

i have been trying to justify the ending but honestly it wasn't satisfactory
is there another ending??? what about all the story
I guess that is the story. You exploit your planet so Earth gets spared another year or so.
What story? It's a factory building game
