I do own the game but sadly I could just never get into it, I have probably thousands of hours in the factorio but the building just isn’t satisfying ironically enough in satisfactory for me.
Especially in the early game, it takes so much fucking longer to get to Coal Power than it should I am sick and tired of being ripped out of my flow of building the factory by needing to stop and go collect some goddamn leaves manually. Even when i finally get stable power, the unlocks are just tedious annoying uninteresting and everything is constantly trying to pull me out of just focusing on building.
The building itself can get frustrating because uneven terrain and issues with SNAP placement can mean things don’t quite line up perfectly and you have to keep trying again. That’s easily moved past tho it didn’t bother me too much in Dyson Sphere program so I can work past it.
There’s a lot of little things I can complain about but for whatever reason the overall gameplay just did not click with me like it did in other Factory games
To their credit there is a sandbox mode. You can just say fuck upgrades amd start at whatever tier you want and just build
