What is Satisfactory?

A first-person, open-world factory-building game set on the alien planet Massage-2(AB)b. As a FICSIT employee, you gather resources, build and optimize production lines with conveyors, pipes, trucks, and trains, and explore or fight local wildlife alone or in co-op.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy planning, automating, and repeatedly optimizing large factories
  • +you want open-world exploration alongside base building
  • +you prefer building alone or cooperatively with friends

Not for you if...

  • −you dislike long, increasingly complex production chains
  • −you find precise three-dimensional construction tedious
  • −you want steady progression without late-game resource grinds

What players say

97% of 247,170 reviews are positive · 96% of 1,517 in the last 30 days

Players praise the factory-planning loop, especially finding bottlenecks, rebuilding production lines, and scaling automation. Common complaints focus on repetitive late-game requirements and finicky three-dimensional construction, particularly belts, pipes, alignment, and blueprints. Some players also report crashes and broken blueprints after recent updates.
