Anyone else loving Satisfactory?

So I've been playing Satisfactory since it came out in Early Access on the 19th March and I was wondering if anyone else is playing and if so, got any screens to share of your factories?

I've been taking it slow to enjoy the game but here's a couple of images of my factory so far:

Not exactly epic but it's still early game

Nice! I was involved in the Alpha weekend and posted a couple of screenshots in the General Gaming Screenshots thread, here https://ufplanets.com/showthread.php...=1#post_385290.

I really enjoyed it, but I'm not getting it yet for two reasons:

1) Mainly, because it's not yet got enough content. Oh sure there's stuff I can do, goals I can set myself, but I don't want to burn out on it whilst it's in Early Access.
2) I am not buying this game on the Epic Store. I dislike the blatant bribery they're using to get exclusives. The store lacks features that I have come to expect from such online stores. And there's too many stories of poor customer service & account security for such a relatively young store for me to trust them.

Needless to say in another year I'll be getting it, probably from Steam, when it's got more content.

I've been watching videos of it on YouTube and it looks really good fun. Having played Subnautica to death and waiting for its next installment to be finished this looks like it may scratch my itch.
However i'm like Bedders in that the Epic Store is a no-no. It's just more bloody questionable software just to play a game that I really don't want on my system. I have Steam already so when/if it comes to there that will suit.

There is already more content than there was on the alpha weekend, but not much, I went exploring earlier and found all sorts of things they need to clean up before a lot of people will be able to fully enjoy the game, including a number 4 hovering over a waterfall :s all in all I would say if you played the alpha weekend it's not worth buying for new content yet, but it is a remarkably beautiful game and it's kept ke hooked for nearly a week so far.

i have not got the game yet but from what iv seen and watch it looks really fun! I hope to play it soon!

I've played it during the Alpha Test Weekend and I had a blast of fun. Didn't buy it though as there is not much content than in ATW and as I do not hsve enough money currently. 30€ is a high price for an Early Access game!

So I just picked the game up in the Epic sale and I’m loving it; seriously addictive !

The graphics are pretty stunning and even on my older PC I can run it on ultra without any issues so far.

There’s a fair bit of manual labour build up you need before things really kick off but once you start automating thing it gets really fun.

I definitely recommend it.

This is what I was looking for. A valid reason to stay away from the Epic Store

I have lost so many hours of my life to this game...

I just got the game last night. I've been playing it for about 6 hours straight so far. I didn't sleep.

Send help!

Joking aside, this is definitely a game right up my alley. I love the building and the strategy that goes along with it. I'm still starting out, but I have quite a few things automated.

I am absolutely in love with this game now! And will sometimes just leave the PC running overnight to help "heat the house" and of course get those sweet resources. Anyone still playing?

I play occasionally and when I do it is lot of time, heating the room/house is no longer an option with elec prices these days though!

Development of the game seems to be slow, it is still unfinished in some areas after many years, such as the purpose of the alien artifacts.

I think I will revisit when it is more finished, but this sort of game shouldn't have an end goal really, just needs a bit more finish always seems to be in beta.

Definitely a lot of stuff still being worked on, as you said, the artifacts have been around for quite some time. U5 was a great add on. Really changed things. I just enjoy the building of things, realizing I can do it better, so I build it elsewhere again with different structuring.

I recommend revisiting it if you haven't since U4.

I have visited recently of this game.

I did enjoy the xmas event and caught up a bit.

Next step is Nuclear to step things up a bit!
