As employees of FICSIT Inc. enterprising space Pioneers are tasked with charting and exploiting a vast and diverse alien planet to construct and automate intricate multi-story factories for a mysterious unknown purpose. Players must also defend themselves against hostile alien lifeforms, automate vehicles and research new technologies to keep improving their constructs.
Satisfactory lands today with three different biomes on a vast handcrafted world (30km2) full of varyingly hostile alien creatures and six tiers of milestones that unlock machines, resources and equipment. The Early Access launch also offers multiplayer and vehicles with automation capabilities. The live development roadmap already outlines two new updates scheduled for the end of April and May that will bring new milestone tiers, research chains for sulfur and quarts, and a train to transfer your resources between outposts.
Satisfactory is now available through Steam Early Access for $29.99/€29.99, with a 10% launch discount, supporting cross play with the Epic Games Store.
Since the reveal in 2018 Satisfactory has seen three major updates which have included:
"We've been in Early Access on the Epic Games Store for a little over a year now and we've reached a point where our conveyor belts are running smooth and our pipes are longer and harder than ever before. We are ready for Steam." said Jace Varlet, Community Manager, Coffee Stain Studios. "Players are expected to expand their factories by razing gorgeous biomes, overcoming angsty wildlife, and efficiently exploiting local resources. Oh and we had Arachnophobia Mode before it was cool."
