Satisfactory review

I'm knee deep in a swamp doing math for aluminum production: three miners pulling ore means I'll need six pumps for water, so that I'm pushing out about 420 cubic meters of alumina solution per minute, and I figure a holding tank here as a buffer would be good, so I slap one down and climb up on top of it. That takes me above the treeline, and suddenly I realize the sheer scale of what I've organized and built in the last 50-some hours...

Satisfactory breaks 100,000 concurrent players on Steam for the first time ever after its long-awaited 1.0 release

Planet-smelting sim Satisfactory is now satisfactory enough to leave early access

Grand duchess of first-person factory sims Satisfactory has finally hit 1.0 on PC after five years in early access, introducing a "full narrative overhaul" together with some new alien technology which you can witness and boggle at via the 1.0 launch trailer, below. They've also announced a console version, but we don't care for such things. The only Satisfactory console I care about is the one that lets you deactivate the fog so you can obtain an unmurky view of your glittering conveyor belt empire.
