Really enjoying Satisfactory. Update 8 included migrating to the current version of Unreal Engine. This introduced some issues. Devs are on top of this, and are fixing existing bugs faster than they're introducing new ones.
Satisfactory has to live up to the level of factorio for bug-free-playability or it will never be as good, espeecially given all the MP bugs that still persist to this day.
@@jo-fe9mb Factorio is ugly, and has a very poor UI. Satisfactory is very buggy, nothing lines up, the UI is one of the worst I've ever seen, and a lot of features are half-baked, the train system for example is a joke compared to the one in Factorio. It also takes ages to get anything done in Satisfactory. Satisfactory is overrated.
I feel like Coffee Stain will never finish Satisfactory, they just update with cosmetic changes but no new resources or machines. Factorio is still the best imo, it gets even better with overhaul mods.
Dyson sphere program is a great game with just *one* issue- it turns my PC into a space heater, I straight up can't play it half the year because you can't lower any graphics settings.
Techtonica is Satisfactory inside a planet, rather than Factorio. I spend whole week in Techtonica. Still it is Early Access and not finished and lack of content is upsetting. I like the game though. It has best visual for me to the moment. I prefer realistic rather than pesky stupid dendy junior graphic.
Damn Oddsparks looks promising automation with pikmin combat, wonder how I missed that one and went straight to my wishlist for sure. Same goes with industrial annihilation, but then again I haven't played planet annihilation for a couple of years. Also seems Craftopia is also planned to go full release in 2024 and is an open world 3rd exploration/automation game.
*Summary for each game he listed* 1. The Crust Build a colony on the Moon for the future of mankind and space exploration. A classic factory game with an underground and an above-ground setting and a lot of research and exploration. 2. Dawn Apart Colony building and factory sim on a foreign, hostile planet. 3. Shapez 2 Top-down factory building game which is also sequel to Shapez; now in 3D. You extract and manufacture shapes. 4. Oddsparks Explore and build a factory in a fantasy world in co-op or singleplayer with the help of Sparks, minions made of wood. 5. Snacktorio A food-revolving factory game in which you industrially prepare meals for horrors threatening invasion. 6. Industrial Annihilation Sequel of Planetary Annihilation, only now you are in charge of making weapons to destroy enemies and factions. 7. ShapeHero Factory A game combining the rogue-like, tower defense and factory categories. Use combinations of shapes to produce heroes that will autonomously fend for themselves in wave-based fights. 8. Factorio Space Age DLC Bring your factory to space, gathering asteroids and manufacturing minerals and metals in the harsh conditions of a vacuum. 9. Automation Station A satisfying factory experience where you capitalize on raw resources and automate your tasks. There is no wrong way to play it. I personally find a similarity to Satisfactory in this game. 10. Autoforge This game also seems like Satisfactory a bit, but also is an apparently Terraria-inspired factory game, You start your factory underground as Auto, a robot seeking the history of the vast world. 11. Mini Settlers A minimalistic factory-city building game in which you gather and harness resources to fulfill the city's needs. 12. Foundry A basic first-person automation game where you supervise and adapt to the needs of your growing factory. 13. Dyson Sphere Program Construct an efficient inter-galactic megafactory where you harness entire solar systems' energy and resources to make various objects. 14. Railroad Corporation 2 Automate trains in the early 20th century to become the best, most efficient railroad company in the field. 15. Final Factory A unique factory game set in space in which you wield careful planning to produce things efficiently and to fend off alien attackers. 16. Omega Crafter Similar to Oddsparks, but instead of Sparks, you have robotic minions (Grammy) to help build a city and challenge bosses. 17. Craftomation 101 A 'hardcore' automation game where you program robots to do work for you. 18. Time to Morp Befriend Morps, creatures that can morph and become producers of specific resources. This game includes multiplayer as well. 19. Total World Liberation Referred to as "open world, survival, automation, crafting, building, turn-based". Innovate and gather survivors to liberate the world from zombies. 20. Satisfactory Might not need a description. A factory game with a dash of exploration; build immense megafactories and get lost in the mania of automation and industry. 21. SteamWorld Build The idea of this game is a city-builder with overlooking a mine harnessing resources from the deep underground. 22. Mob Factory A crossover between tower defense and automation. In your factory you fully take advantage of the enemies' bodies harvested after defeating them in waves of attacks. 23. Desynced A traditional factory game with a twist: it's very creative and customizable. 24. Techtonica Another traditional game inspired by Satisfactory and Factorio set under an alien planet. 25. Dinky Guardians Co-op automation game revolving around reliable companions that can automate and defend your base. I don't expect praise for all this; I made it at midnight because I felt like it lol but dont berate me either cuz english isnt my native language
As soon as the Dyson sphere update comes out, I'll need to start a new play. I've had this game since early EA days and it's impressive how far it has come
Oh, yeah. Stopped my first playthrough after I had the cannon thingys launching a steady supply of those mirrors into orbit for power, and had made some progress on the Sphere itself. Been quite a while.
I didn’t know a Shapez 2 is in the works, but considering how much I played the first game, I guess where all my free time will be disappearing to once that releases 😅
I would suggest that you make sure the captions actually line up with what you're saying. I appreciate that they're not the automatically generated cc! But there's words, phrases, and entire sentences that you say that aren't in the captions or the wording in the captions is different than what you say, and it's very confusing.
It reminds me so much of fantasy fiction, after a while it feels like everything is trying to be LOTR, but there already is LOTR. Which is fine for me as my Factorio time is precious and I really don't want to share it with another game.
Orbital Potato!! Satisfactory is not receiving any more big updates in Early Acces! They have just Announced that the 1.0 is comming here in 2024 :D :D Was announced only a few days ago :D
It's great that Factorio is getting a DLC, if only because they more or less established the standard for the genre. Ok, technically they were based on a Mod for Minecraft, but if we are going that route we have to go back to Dwarf Fortress and possible even Rouge.
Idk , I’d rather them go for factorio 2 instead. There already is a mod of factorio in space and it’s generally huge prob alrdy way more developed than whatever they gonna release so it seems kinda useless..
I've played the craftomation demo and even though I already know how to program I still found it too hard/tedious. Some functionality like telling how full the heat sources were was missing, and keeping all the heat sources fueled consistently with a limited number of bots was very annoying and if it failed at all, the area would ice over again and trap the bots in that area requiring manual work to unjam the system. Basically there was a lot of micro-managing for a supposed automation game.
Desynced is such a nice game, but their own sintax for programming has some flaws which makes the player use the language and not the logic (basically, their language is not intuitive), it needs to be polished to actually hit the crowd.
Great list as usual Orbital Potato, I'm at half and half, with one half on wishlist or EA purchase and the other not interested. I cannot play every game out there, sadly, so I have to limit myself somehow.
Thanks for the great recs. Hostile Mars is another one that looks interesting with a unique premise (Tower Defense, Automation, with thousands of enemies flooding your base and providing resources for your automation network)
my personal favorite upcoming factory game for 2024 is Techtonica, and I think describing it as "satisfactory but underground" doesn't really describe it. It's more "satisfactory but with a story line", and while at first you might think that people who want to play factory game are not there for the story, it actually works pretty well and helps give a motivation to keep expending your factory, you're not doing this just for the sake of it, you're doing it to progress in the story. it scratches the itch that satisfactory's never-finished alien artifacts were promising to do.
@@zanminer2617you missed the point, from the perspective of someone who wants to enjoy the game, telling them to wait for a long time just doesnt sound appealing, id much rather spend time on something that’s finished rather than something half baked ill have to revisit years later.
What am I most looking forward to? Satisfactory version 1.0! No, there won't be an update 9 or 10. The main things I like about Satisfactory - no base defence, no pressure, except that which you put on yourself. I can get enough pressure from work, thanks very much!
There is one game I'd like to make a honourable mention: Minecraft with Create mod and all the Create Mod Addons. Just to put it in perspective: With Create Mod and Create Craft & Addictions (two mods) you can get 80% of all stone and mineral resources just com cobblestone. You need to create machines (contraptions) and factories to get and process your resources. Minecraft being Minecraft the space you have is near infinite and you factory is all module so there is no "perfect way" to build it so do as you like!
Man Industrial Annihilation sounds cool but after the shitshow that was total annihilation I can't really be exited for it, i mean really any dev with a game where they end up taking the old game down and making a "new" game that is really just a tagged on expansion to remove bad reviews is really a dev I am not going to trust.
Snacktorio Does Have a demo. Not sure for how long but it does have it now. As for Dyson Sphere program the "Rise of the Dark Fog" update is set to launch for the 15th of this month (December) Least Half Seem somewhat interesting.
Kind of off topic from the video, but I think there is an issue with your twitch schedule times. I only recently found your twitch channel and it said stream tomorrow 5pm so I came back next day at 5pm and no stream and it said stream tomorrow 5pm so I came back at 5pm the next day and no stream again. It said stream 2pm on Saturday also no stream.. either twitch is trolling me or there is an issue with the schedule (I’m in Europe, so times might be different from what you put in since twitch adjusts them to my Timezone)
after factorio, the best in this list is desynced. great amount of hours to play, although im downloading autoforge to try it out. it have a very good feeling
Survival Vacancy was an attempt at a 2D vertical factory builder but the game is not great. Snacktorio looks like another attempt at this. Autoforge is another one I guess. Looking forward to these!
definitely if i had a top 3 most exited games i want to play from last to most hyped it would be this . #3 industrial annihilation #2 the crust , and #1 because i already played like 50 hours of it , foundry .
You missed Captain of Industry, one of the best in my opinion with deformable terrain and great graphics and set in modern day. Came out on steam last year and average 93% after 4000 reviews.
would count to much on that game it is a yogcast after all it will get 3/4 of the way done then they run off with your money look up their past game , do the research before buying any yogcast game 👎🏽
one developer has a new idea, make a good game, and afterwards there come a tonn of copys, either 2d or 3d. So i doubt its worth buy anything else if you still have one of them...
Uhhh...no. Factorio was a cool concept when it came out, and I thought it was neat. Played a bit, and its not for me. Then, Dyson Sphere Program dropped and I haven't been the same since. If you think these are all simply "clones", you are missing out. On a lot.
i dont think so. I tried factorio - i cant handle that game. So i tried satisfactory, it is for me really better, so i put ca. 300 hours in it. Then i tried mosseminers - game is senseless, because no any challenge (game runs to 100 percent without doing anything - a background game), then i looked the ohter games... well, its ok, if u have fun with the others, but as I said, for me, its like the other genres: one idea and thousand clones. @@NateWilliams-h8q
The Crust and Desynced look interesting. I like the graphics and the seemingly higher complexity of the former; the latter has an interesting automation aspect. I already got Satisfactory and Factorio to fill most of my needs. :)
*_"I already got Satisfactory and Factorio to fill most of my needs"_* Dyson Sphere Program is superior, it's not without a reason ranked 31 on Steam (highest ranked factory game), while Satisfactory is ranked 52, Factorio ranked 72.
howdy just found your videos i was wondering if theres anyway you could in the video say if maybe they could be coming to xbox series x for example steam factory is dropping today on series x just a idea because theres a ton of these games i would really like to try thanks keep up the awesome videos
Been in early access for a while but Voxel Tycoon is another automation/logistics game I'm keeping an eye on. Thanks for the list plenty of games I hadn't heard of in it.
Foundation and Tectonica I will never even try, for the same reason as Satisfactory. I am medically incapable of playing first person games, even if they have 3rd person mode. I can't even play Minecraft. Omega Crafter and Craftomation remind me a lot of Autonauts, I will certainly enjoy them.
Satisfactory - zero challenge and a terrible building UI Mob Factory was light, but a solid good time. Steamworld Build looks like a city-builder with no automation.
