Satisfactory Hits 1.0

Satisfactory, developed by Coffee Stain Studios, has officially launched its 1.0 version, following a successful early access period that saw over 5.5 million copies sold since March 2019. The game immerses players in the role of a FICSIT employee tasked with industrializing an alien planet, where they gather resources, build factories, and optimize workflows. Players can collaborate in groups of up to four, enhancing the experience of exploration and construction. The game has been noted for its addictive nature, with some players logging over 1,000 hours while still discovering new aspects of gameplay. The 1.0 release introduces new features, including a "Quantum Encoder," and promises improvements to the player experience, such as enhanced in-game facilities. Despite its engaging mechanics, the game raises ethical questions about environmental impact and the treatment of alien wildlife. Satisfactory is also playable on Steam Deck, although some technical adjustments may be necessary. The developer encourages players to maintain a balance between gaming and real-life responsibilities.
