Right or leave the planet like in Subnautica, put some more lore to the story would be great too for exploration purposes

@@Weshcomar i am NOT leaving my 200 reinforced plate per minute factory.

@@shady8273 What the hack 200 only? MK3 miners and use all of the 4 pure nodes in the north would already give you 160 per minute without overclocking miners. Overclock the miners to 150% and you reach 240/m just by this 4 nodes :D (or you want to use the leftover mats and build 2 more production lines then it would be 260/m) @Weshcomar "put some more lore to the story" sounds like their already is a story now :D we don't have any story till today, they already mention they want to add the story to the 1.0 release so their we will see what the story will look like.

@@michaelbauers8800 No, but it is the doggos' fault that they can delete nuclear waste.

This is exactly what I came to the comments to discuss! The fact that they are willing to hear arguments against some of their firmest beliefs, in order to make the best game they can for players, is amazing

@@SirValiantIII On the flip-side, though, it’s nice that they don’t cater entirely to the whims of the playerbase either. That’s a good way to get a totally passionless project that can also often be a mess in how it’s put together regardless.

@@hardcorewolf4273 Its really fun man, and IF you ever get bored of the base game there are a shit ton of mods for the game, and you dont have to install something like bepinex or whatever, as the base game supports mods.

actually no. Biomass should be a pain ITA to get. This is the driving force for the player to get on and build Coal and later better power plants.

@@batziii8745unless it’s a late game item to assist in settling up remote mining bases that arnt connect to oil

true and there could be some small downside to run down factories like a 5% speed penalty

​@@gabbemc5449 no then that would bring back the maintenance part. 5% speed penalty ruins your calculations for 100% eff

YES. Actually having to maintain the factory would be a PITA but having it _look_ old would be super cool atmospherically

one idea could be only making tgings break down if they arent in use for extended periods of time

I think it would also be cool if it functioned like the oxidation of copper system that minecraft has, where you **can** clean it up if it’s dirty, but if you want to, you can “lock” the wear at a certain stage if you do want to keep it clean. This is like how you can wax the copper in Minecraft to lock the oxidation, keeping at that stage indefinitely(unless you unwax it) instead of it continuing to visually decay.

Maybe you are actually golf-shooting batteries coming out of a green energy machine towards the turrets and other defense things to keep them active

No joke, I would actually play a game like this

Yeah, they have to be built in specific spots and provide a fluctuating amount of power.

That's infrared energy :P ;)

They really don't need to add green energy because mods already have that covered

*Biomass sad noises*

It only has cosmetic effects. So your grunts and noises sound crankier.

@@bobdobsin6216 As cool as that would be I feel like it's broadening the scope a bit much. I'm just thinking of a lil joke feature that takes a few minutes to implement at most. I don't know how it works in-engine, but all the assets you need already exist. I'd imagine at most you're adding an on-click trigger, a `coffee` variable, a counter that decrements `coffee` over some arbitrary period of time, and a UI element that displays the current value of `coffee`. If we need an in-universe justification as to why it does literally nothing, it's because FICSIT only allows decaf.

It should have some non-gameplay affecting element so new players don't get confused and don't have to read some post to realize it's a pointless gimmick.

@@Maddiedoggie oh yeah, here we go: *caffeine addiction*

To be consistent with his design comments, have them flitting around inside & between greenhouses. Keeping with the theme of exploiting a pristine world, the greenhouses could require mined & manufactured chemicals like fertilizer, minerals, water, etc. I would lean towards hydroponics & aeroponic machines to keep with the industrial/factory theme (though it would be amusing to start having the various critters start dropping gatherable "fertilizer"). Greenhouse spaces would need to be lit with artificial lights, supplied with water & power & nutrients, maintained (by bots?), picked and processed. I think there is a lot of space for chill gameplay with something like factory farming

EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING

Guaranteed that's what gave isbthe FICSMAS minigame this year, that was so popular it's being made permanent.

You're absolutely right! If I was a game developer, a place like Coffee Stain would be a dream job for sure! That being said, your comment is one of the top and I'm going to shamelessly piggy back off it to make my suggestion XD A lot of people are mentioning the little robots, and I also think that would be really cool to see. But most people are basically suggesting to copy Factorio's robots and what they do. I'd like to suggest that the robots do a purely cosmetic task. I suggest Coffee Stain adds Cleaning Robots to the game! I'd like to see your machines become weathered over time. I'm NOT talking about needing maintenance. I agree maintenance is tedious and doesn't fit the game design. I think it would be cool for your machines to become weathered and dirty over time, machines exposed to the outside would become dirtier than those that are enclosed. Maybe machines within a certain distance from a furnace/smelter would get black soot all over them. Real factories are often incredibly dirty places. Machine weathering would add gameplay in a couple of ways. First off, a "power washer" hand tool could be added to spray down dirty machines manually if you so choose. It could use packaged water from your inventory, which you get access to early enough that your factory isn't forever dirty, but late enough that your factory has a chance to actually get dirty. Besides by the time you get packaged fluids, whatever you built is probably getting torn out and replaced with shiny new machines anyway. This mechanic would really "shine" in the late game when you have established factories and some of them are showing their age and you can't possibly manually wash it all yourself. This is where the little cleaning drones come in. You could set up cleaning stations around your factories that would deploy cleaners in a certain radius. Perhaps you could assign certain areas for them to clean. The drone/robot dock should be a fairly cheap item. It serves the purpose of both charging the robots and providing them with water. The robots would be far more efficient with water usage than the hand held pressure washer. The robots themselves should be kind of expensive, but not too crazy. I understand that having to ship water throughout the factory would probably be a tedious task. I'm not certain of a work around for this. Maybe the cleaning being optional would allow for the slight annoyance to be okay? There could be multiple types of robots with varying prices and stats, kind of like the vehicles currently in the game. perhaps a humanoid robot that can only really travel where a player can walk. Maybe a sort of R2-D2 type "trash can on wheels" kind of droid. And the most high tech a hovering drone that can go over obstacles and work extremely quickly. I imagine that by far the hardest part of implementing AI into our factories would be pathfinding through what is often a spaghetti mess. Perhaps there's a potential for a super late game upgrade to robots that allows them to phase through obstacles. That seems like something that could be accomplished with the MAM using materials from the super collider. Perhaps something made from SAM ore??? With this idea we would get the visual bonus of having dynamically weathered machinery over time. Which in turn would add a mechanic to the game that is totally cosmetic but offers an interesting game play loop. We would get new tools and a new use for packaged water. The addition of little robots going about the factories with an actual purpose. As well as a new building to charge the robots with an additional item need to keep filled. I could see people leaving areas purposely dirty and weathered just for the aesthetic. It would add an entirely new level of visual detail to the game and a lot of life to player factories with little robots moving about keeping everything tidy. Thank you for reading, I hope Coffee Stain sees this! *One thing I would like to note, is that although I agree that maintenance is not necessary in satisfactory, it could be actually really easy to implement if the cosmetic weathering system was to be implemented. A mod creator could simply read the "dirt" level of the machines and say the dirtier the machine, the lower the max efficiency is. Maybe the dirtiest machines would run at 20% efficiency. Not totally crippling a production line, but certainly requiring attention. Is it possible to add custom animations to mods? If so, perhaps a "welding" type animation could be used after the washing animation to show the robots fixing after cleaning. A repair tool could be added as well for early game maintenance. There's a lot of potential.

Deep Rock is Kinda same place like this too.

Lots of places have this sort of L&D time for staff. The company I work at gives us 10% of our time to spend on whatever we want. Most of the time the managers have to nag you to actually use it! I end up just clocking a bunch up and taking it in a multi day block so I can really dig into something I want to try out.

dead on me and a few mates just spent two sessions "fixing" our overly complicated and inefficient factory.

Lol too true! My friend and I always end up saying something along the lines of "Damnit 3am me! Why did you build it like that?" Or "3am me strikes again!" because we always end up playing so late into the night that we obviously aren't quite thinking straight by the end.

tell that to those who has multiple huge factories across the map... it's soon to be a bother rather than an interesting element..

About the base maintenance thing... lost count how many times I removed a belt that I thought did nothing and later found a whole line of production had shut down and I had to backtrack the problem to a single belt or splitter that I removed by mistake. The game is already about improving and redesigning. It'd be a nightmare if we needed to maintain our belt spaghetti

or unlock to recipes, that made me change many things.

completely agree

Klei Entertainment is pretty good too.

Also Unknown Worlds -makers of subnautica

Great point

It's got downsides too. As a dev, when I give reasons for not adding things, people immediately start trying to argue or negotiate the reasons, or offer solutions. It's irritating and wastes time. I'd rather just say yes/no and let people deal with it on their own.

It would have to not affect any buildings, though. Or maybe there could be a rain catcher to get more water. Would that count as green energy?

@@domesticatedwolf8995 Im thinking they wouldnt make it effect the game but just to have different weather and such

You're on alien worlds, they can go all out on weather, perhaps more and more harsh ones on the more difficult worlds (standard rain on the "plains" world and something like sandstorms and acid rain on the "desert" world)

that would be very cool. Considering the different terrains and what types of weather you could be dealing with. My only request for that would be a choice to turn off weather

just for the optics? or should it do something?

nah, i saw his base, there is still a bunch of space betwin those pipesXD also you still can build pipes and conveyor belts INSIDE EACH OTHER.

@@Circle9ru this was added recently

How does this have likes when LetsGameItOut has actually just repeatedly proven that Jace is right...

@@Dunkurtin because it states the obvious. and people like the obvious.

@@zerrierslizer1 missing the point isnt stating the obvious. Jodh would have no interest a game so stable and limited that it doesn't break long before he runs out of things to do. 🤦‍♂️

Yep, if you go out to explore, it is largely still in your hands. You can choose to run back to base until you have more guns, or just blow things up with snowballs. I really like the fact I can stop what I'm doing to either look up something online, make a cuppa, what ever, and not have to worry when I get back. Even power is not that urgent, as you can just shut down factories while you build another powerplant.

It is bless for us, people with ADHD

The only things "not in your control" are things you didn't forsee (I can't tell you how many times I've been building out a new production line and I ran out of power lol)

That's actually a pretty nice idea! Sort of like the geothermal energy but with supply (lava), a generator with water and waste. Very nice!!

Hell yeah sounds great!

Well, only obvious green thing i thought is we need a water turbine ... counterpart to the pumps... i like building a floating factory at the base of the huge waterfall :-) (But this might be an easy mod)

That and I really want hydro, having these options to me seems less about not destroying the planet and more about adaptability to each situation

Someone get this idea in front of the eyeballs of the folks at Coffee Stain, stat!

AKA the Ubisoft Open World

eh, you can just raise foundation and build belts below the foundation, if belts bothers you that much

This.. There are "green" ways to exploit a planet.. export foods. I made another comment about how green energy would actually make sense along with farming etc and robots. It's not a change in the lore imo, it's just a different mechanic or variety of play.. considering we only get one map and only go nuclear (which IS a tedious joke in this game vs. reality)

I was thinking using the bots to harvest biomaterials, but having them hunt down nuts/berries/etc would be fantastic!

also they could investigate the map and mark resources on your map.

Biggest gripe is mycelia is required for fabric to make filters and stuff. Going to pick mycelia by hand SUCKS the enjoyment out of my soul SO FAST!

I'm with you here, I would love to see agriculture and animal husbandry added for the benefit of having renewable plant and animal products as well as biomass, but I suspect you might unlock farmland and livestock pens before you unlock the bots to automate it. In terms of export value, medical inhalers that serve as a panacea would be a hot ticket item to send off to the home office. An added resource sink that didn't look like a masher wheel might be beneficial, and a way to launch nuclear waste into the void... just saying, there's plenty of other "unrealistic" factors in the game, suddenly having to deal with un-disposable nuclear waste is jarring. (edit) P.S. We already have "Green Energy" in the game with geothermal. Renewable energy with biofuel would be an appropriate expansion, as would some form of solar steam plant. the problem here would be configuring the water supply, the steam generators, and whether your game allows for the "collected sunlight" to vary based on real conditions (don't put one in the shade of a mountain, for instance)

yea they could solve this by just making your inventory hold much larger stacks too. When I start playing again I'm just going to find a mod to make my inventory much larger because it gets sooo tedious refilling my inventory all the time. I spend far more time doing that than building in the late game.

That's exactly what I was thinking about. Take my excess, and top me up on building supplies. And maybe I can bring them out with me and have them go out and harvest EVERYTHING until the world is barren and gray. That said, I wouldn't mind having them build my roads.

A little robot that could fetch a little item quantity of something for you would be a bit helpful but it could be goat simulator-ish fun, too. Like if it fails, you get a video of the adorably stupid little robot failing. Make it a FUN, silly thing, but also a little useful, too. They already have the path-finding code mostly finished for trucks and such. So tis doable.

I absolutely support this. And the thing that immediately popped into my mind was having little worker robots to automatically gather biomass and drop it at a predefined container. Might require some balancing but I would love to finally be able to automate that aspect of the game as well.

Actually wouldn't mind this at all. I could easily do without the maintenance aspect but the bots loading and unloading inventory was definitely something I took for granted in Factorio.

Everything else on this list seems like a serious 'No'. It's kind of interesting though, half the things on this list aside from Terraforming, Survival, and golf are actually central mechanics in another game: "The Riftbreaker" which I bought just a couple days ago lol.

I vote in favor of this! This sounds like it'd make more chill relaxedness! :D

Yupp the robot collecting stuff for me is dope. Could even be a drone

also what if you could program them to expand your floors and build random parts of the factory like making blueprints and set them to work on them, making base expansion and upgrading easier as updates drop

What if we just renamed the game factorio

Yes, little robots that could do short-range stuff like filling biomass burners for me or maybe collect biomass for me as I explore so I have some to craft with when I get back to base. they could replace conveyors in small factories if you have a few scattered around one area or just a couple mechines doing one small task in the corner. I like the idea of a little buddy robot I could make early on that would inevitably become obsolete around tier 5 or 6. it's limited to small tasks and an item per second limit as well. and does not require me to fuel it.

I'd love just a simple colour picker, like the paint gun but for players. I wouldn't want to change models or anything

If there was ever character creation/customization I would really want an old-school diver’s helmet because the idea of someone using a diving suit as a space suit is really funny to me.

No one cares about your ego trip.

I agree! This is one of the main reasons why I almost feel in love with the game at first sight! In fact, it's probably the only main reason.

Now just to add a mode without combat, and we're all set.

@@nolan1915 there is an arachnophobia setting you can turn on

@@PeetFeet Thank you very much for that information

Also it helps with people new to factory style games so they can get used to the genre without things ripping all there stuff apart

Such as lights, green energy or no electricity need ;x (have been around for a long time on mods)

Came here to say this. Want something in the game? Mod it in. Been that way for a long time.

I believe their thinking is that they want getting to coal to feel like a huge step up, and one of the main things you should be focusing on early game. Which if you already have these robots which essentially would automate biomass fuel, that would automatically become less of a priority.

Imagine the robots would restock your inventory slowly piece by piece. You have to assign the storage they are getting the stuff from and when you are building a lot they can not keep up with restocking your inventory but they would be everywhere🤩 It would be funny when you are exploring and suddenly some robospiders appear out of the bushes.

I agree with this statement. Always collecting fuel for the generators that the game gives starts you off with is tedious and a pain to do. Robots that are relatively cheap in resources and that generate energy from sunlight would fix this.

@@limited4ever1 i would disagree, thats on my list of things i would hate since it would make the game to easy. When I build a new Outpost somewhere for whatever reason i get there in a Truck loaded up with ressources. And when a Train track to the location is finished i fill a Train i have always around with stuff, get there and construct a new Base. And the game already punishes me for forgetting something since i then need to get home to get that ..whatever i forgot.

I agree with random little robots running around the factory... may set it up that they only walk on foundation... and just go around all over the place... have them stop randomly at machines.. or enumerate all the machines on the map... the randomize the list... and have the robots walk up to each machine and perform an animation pretending to ficsit...fake maintenance as it were

OOH... and you can make it cost 100 tickets or something... not a tier unlockable.. but tickets... A HA

Yo little factory robots sounds amazing. Factories seem so empty without inhabitants. Like, Eve from Wall-E

Little Bots = less fps

They can deliver supplies from storage bins to other storage bins

I'd like to also word it slightly different for anyone who is still not getting the whole "it's not the game we are making." They want to do one thing; working towards one goal. When you add big ideas in the middle of the project, you don't have one goal anymore, or even TWO! You now have three goals: create the base game, make the addon, and make them blend in a fitting way. This takes time, effort, and money that could be better spent JUST working towards one goal. Multitasking is never better. I haven't even mentioned how it may not fit with their ARTISTIC interpretation of the game they want to make. Imagine you want to change the statue of "the Thinker" slightly. Instead of him resting his head on his fist (therefore in thought) say you want him to be pointing to the sky with that hand. Small change right? Well, now it seems like he's REALIZED something. With that small change he's not thinking anymore. Now he's "the realizer" still a cool statue, but not one the sculptor set out to make. It's got a completely different vibe to it. TL;DR Multitasking slows down the workflow and is more expensive, and small changes shift the tone of the whole game.

I'm sure its really hard to look at player feedback and go no but I have seen way too many games ruined because features that players (including me) were asking for got added and it just didn't work well.

i'd love this, would also really add to the exploiting the planet thing as getting these upgrades could damage the nature and make everything look depressing :3

I mean, you can already build paths, but hydrodrams would be cool. Are they too clean?

Damming rivers does disrupt things like fish migration and such in the real world, considering the ficsit mentality, yeah you just don't have to worry about things like that. Stick a turbine on it! Still it is green energy so it potentially messes up the balance of the game.

@@rptrrwr well, it would still be limited and you wouldn't have many, i'd be like the geothermal but look a bit different. i guess

@@the11382 You could limit the amount of water thats able to go through so even while by todays standards it's considered a green enegry, it could work well with the game.

Perhaps like flammable poison that you can package and use in a biomass or fuel gen?

this is actually a pretty good idea that satisfactory could use tbh

Yeah I'd like solar, wind, and hydro power. I'd also like automated bio-power.

@@Shorty_Lickens no, that goes directly against what satisfactory is about, unless they make them require an input they consume

@@NoobMicesters The only way I could see either of those suggested energy sources needing an input they consume, would be for water extractors to provide the hydropower generators with water, but even that could be exploited easily, making it too OP.

biomass generators are VERY early game, you will see that once you progress some more, you wont ever use biomass for energy again.

I don’t think AAA Developers would be that brutal and can hurt their sale.

@@Nhatanh0475 Well... No golf is brutal. Alas, I can't unbuy my copy of Satisfactory. So I have to stay in this rotten hellhole of a factory world (legends say it was once a beautiful paradise - But I see no evidence for this...) without golf.

No but instead AAA developers give us crap year after year and still everybody is on it like flies on shit. Give me this honesty and you will have my loyalty but i'm from the netherlands and i like brutal honesty

@@transfer1992 it was a big meme when early access first released, in particular because oil wells originally outputted oil barrels onto belts rather than using pipes.

@@adriananderson1894somebody didn’t get the joke…. 😬

unlike other companies *ahem* -bungie-

I think perhaps alternatively they can go scan conveyors and point out ones that are bottlenecked / give metrics on average throughput per minute|second|hour|whatever. That would be very useful, I'd love to see a bunch of little dudes going around scanning belts and coming back and yelling at me

@@gebcrafter That would be a great idea. It'd be nice if there was more factory information on the map and the bots could provide that.

@@gebcrafter or build blueprints... like when you're running out of mats you can keep planning what to build and the little robots will build it as soon as they have the mats in some kind of storage they can access

@@gebcrafter in Dyson Sphere they added a sprayer that added a production boost to items that would be good in this game too

LGIO is why I bought this game in the first place, ngl

i honestly feel like that WAS a personal attack on josh..

Yeah, honestly I'd be happy with a pacifist mode that removed hostiles and either removed the need for animal parts or had a silly way to get them. Maximum chill building is my jam.

one does not prevent the other, the chill and relax mod remains the basis of the game. Adding a complete mod adding a tower defense aspect would have been just a way to please more people

@@Mylouz42 oh for sure, I'm not actually poo-pooing a distinct mode for tower defense. Just saying it's personally not *my* jam and I'd go 180 degrees the other direction if I were supreme FICSIT overlord for the day.

To me base defence would have been good. I lack action ingame and feel like the world is empty. I love the building and chill vibe but I don't get immersed as much. Hey, they don't care. It's their game that we fund for them to make who are we right? lets buy their merch! yay

@@RickM-ce3yz It's not that they don't listen, I think it's just too much work. This choice could have been made at the beginning of the project. But let's be happy with the work done because Satisfactory is unique in its kind. I hope that FICSIT will release a new project that will combine tower defense and factory in FPS view.

Dont feel bad. Remember Construct, Automate, Explore, and EXPLOIT.

You could use biomass to make compost for fertilizer

and it could have the need for electicity to run black lights in a greenhouse

@@drippii Definitely, would be an interesting feature to install lights and program/automate them into different light cycles and intensity as well.

My thought was to actually farm biomass in like a hydroponic system and could use robots to harvest them, add them to a pulverizer to turn them into biomass. Make it the most industrial approach to "green" energy as possible.

@@TheWayneJesse Robots!

Solar only gives power during the day. Wind can only be placed on a few very high (and inconvenient) locations.

Solar power and the day/night cycle could be fun! It would make power storage way more useful, having to store up enough power in the day to last through the night Edit: but yeah Jace makes good points about how it's making the game less fun to make it less challenging

@@FrankLeeMadeere But I can build as high as I want to place wind turbines. It's hard to see how that would work.

Geothermal is there, but "supply" is still limited to geysers. Solar panels and wind turbines could be placed everywhere.

Or make a solar reflective array that needs light and water. You have to build a large tower and tons of positioning mirrors that take computers. By end game play you stop worrying about power anyway. So just make it end game hard.

or even have it as part of a Biomass farm that outputs biomass based on the Biome it's located in (if it's in an area that has fungi, it also outputs myocilia)

I was thinking they could apply a temporary buff to the production speed of buildings. The more drones you have, the higher the uptime on the buff so you could theoretically build around it being permanent.

It's so relaxing when you're just chilling in your factory going out to search for power slugs or something is *dangerous*

Seriously, if I wanted to play Factorio, i'd play Factorio. Satisfactory being done at the player's pace is different and good.

Until the Random 10 M Big Spider jumps into ur face 😂😂

the sound design is a little paranoia inducing. too many clicks and clacks and stuff

yeah that's brilliant. I mean it's their game, so as long as it doesn't negatively affect stability or maintainability, let the team go wild and just derp around. That's probably how they got Lizard Doggos (or Shrimpy, as it was once known...)

Fun fact: This is how actually Fortnite battle royal got created :D during the closed beta of the PvE game (which was the original idea) some devs fooled around and created the battle royal just for fun during their "free time". At some point they just made a small event in closed beta where we all could try it for a short amount of time. Everyone knows how it ended.... the "just for fun"-project turned out to be the biggest success ever for Fortnite/Epic and got bigger within a short amount of time than the base game within years. This is the reason why ALL studios should give devs some hours to do whatever they want, no matter how crazy their ideas are.... often someones idea is so good, it has to be put into the game.

@@Aeekto Wasn't that also how Red Dead Redemption got started as well? I seem to remember reading somewhere that it was just some dude who took the GTA 4 engine, put a desert in it, and basically made a "Grand Theft Horsie" mod, and the rest it history.

@@Aeekto I played the both the Alphas and Betas for Fortnite, and to be clear, they weren't sure what the hell they were going to do with game. I figured it was just them jumping on a bandwagon to make money, glad to hear it was at least something the devs wanted.

@@Ericisnotachannel Didn't they kind of start the bandwagon? There were battle royal games before, but none at this scale.

THIS!!!!!!!!! i was going to say like logistical robots who can get items you request from different parts of your factory so you can stay where you are but i like this idea way better PERFECT EXCUSE TO ADD BLUEPRINTS!!!!

Honestly even if it doesn't build it for you I like the idea of like resource collection, give it a to do list like the one you can make for buildings, and it can get the resources for it collected in one spot

So basically "Oxygen Not Included"?

@@DarthPoyner Factorio Basically Factorio

Oh so like Surviving Mars?

Yes. The robot could be a actual factory machine thats x storage bins. Which has a robot dispensor. You request a item. A wireless network is connected to say the RADIO TOWERS. That aren't used good. And they can drop them off to the nearest towers. They would work simliar to drones. But are meant for fast transport of items to you. So no drone ports. Just you in range of a radio tower. They're powered by your grid. So making bigger nuclear building would be needed for map wide player drop offs.

Totally agree. I can't remember how many times I've gone to build an outpost and forgotten something like metal rods, and then have to run back and forth across the map.

I think that some kind of automatic fill empty inventory would be awesome. I know I’ve heard theories about something like that being part of SAM ores use possibly.

a robot delivery service that would be useful. maybe the robot would need to be attached to a container that items can be pulled from or put into. I regularly have the problem of being short some plates or concrete.

i was going to suggest the same thing, use the little robots to harvest berries and nuts and use them as an automation tool for food. you could add alt recipes for the inhalers etc too

It could have been cool for the little robots to be the method used to overclock rather than the finite slugs, feed the lil dudes resources to improve the buildings speeds, but I think the slug mechanic and being able to balance rates is kinda too critical

Automated scrooping.

They could be used to retrieve resources when bulk building.

@@Zarky026 Hold up, that's a Foxhole reference!

Agree 100%

What would mk2 machines do that makes them different from an overclocked mk1?

@@DavidGuild They could be much faster than the mk1s. Like 300% faster, and can be overclocked just like the mk1s.

@@DavidGuild they could also operate on a different power curve - and not require power shards

Or have more effiecient recipes

Yes the most painful of nuclear power is getting enough water 💧

It could be a big project. You know, like the space elevator, but not mission critical, just optional, built from the Hub.

@@totherik91 Maybe at a predefined spot on the map

My thoughts exactly, that and mindustry were my thoughts.

*modded*

Factorio with the natives turned off: no stress, very chill… and construction bots and basically unlimited blueprints.

This is a very reasonable take and one of my gripes with satisfactory. Making the factory is cool, really cool, so much so I have pured hundreds of hours into this game. But the factory justifies its existence by expanding the factory and thus, is pretty noninteractive with the world. You have this really cool map, which invites to amazement and wonder, yet interaction with the map is only done wiht the intent of making the factory bigger, or goofing around and building hyperloop-cannons. Something must be possible, some kind of interaction between the factory and its surroundings which is in sync with the vibe Satisfactory is going for, like painting the sky through the technology you develop in the factory. Or carving paintings in the rock with some kind of laserbeam, which is totally possible without opening the development-nightmare that would be real terraforming idk. I'm just spitballing here.

Play rust

It just begs the question, What is EndGame?

@@midlifemettle7841 The Story (tm). They have given very little detail about what The Story will entail, just that it will be released in version 1.0, and utilise the WIP and SAM ore in some way, maybe. And in general, the End Game is to finish the assembly project, which means building factories that can make the items required for the assembly project. If you can do that, grats you.

nah, it's mainly people who wants to see factorio in 3D

You can switch up to cat pngs! I honestly prefer the cave crikets (they look more like crikets to me) than the pngs, because I expect the crikets, but I had to double take way too many times what the cats where.

A 1st person factorio would be better than both games.

He didn't say that pray mechanic won't be added to the game, so...

YES!

at this point proper mod support would be a way for them to go, then people can create good quality mods

Just sorting robots in general Like i want to just dump my inventory and watch them run around with the stuff

I thought a similar thing. My experience with the game was pretty great until I died in the late game, while being in a Place I could hardly reach again or would need quite a bit of time to get to because I lost some needed equipment on my death and it was very far off. So my idea for the robots was drones that can acces items you droped (like on death) or containers you build an deliver them to a building. TlDr.: Drones that can retreve your death crate. PS.: If the late game already has ways to retreve items dropped on death from a far plese let me know.

@@Lion_204 With a hyperloop cannon and a parachute you can get virtually anywhere in the world within seconds

@@Gstrangeman96 Thank you

and as an option you could automate parts of the building process… so you design what you want to build like lets say as kind of a blueprint and the robots build it for you… thinking of copying whole factory parts (could be restricted like the dismantle process (50 items)…) that would be nice i think

@@ebbars_ Yeah, they should implement more ideas (like yours) from Factorio into Satisfactory.

Fissile could be added too, maybe it could be balanced be needing and enormous amount of water, producing a lot of gas; the system shuts down if it gets saturated on gas or deprived of water

@@crashstudi0s nuclear? it's already in the game

Only problem is it's got no downsides. Not to mention fusion energy pretty much just needs heavy water and some very rare tritium. There's no radiation, not even any production chain. I feel like if anything, antimatter could be a good power source at some point.

@@jonaut5705 very rare tritium. The answer is in the question here. I think it would be very feasible from a balance standpoint

@@octaviusaugustus7205 The thing is, even if there's only 1 tritium deposit on the entire map, you could just use drones or trains. Late game long distance transportation is pretty easy. Not to mention there's no danger nor any production chain, as I said.

And what would you get as a reward?

@@gownerjones1450 A giftcard, admission to the bonus vacation days program, uhh...man, I dunno! Maybe hab decorations. I hadn't really considered what you'd get out of it, I just like the idea of having to figure out specific types of product supply lines.
