So how is this game

[Imortalin]

I purchased rise of industry when it was first placed on Steam and only played a handful of times. Wondering how this game is? I love Factorio Satisfactory and most building games with lots of automation. Does this game have automation at all? And is it worth it?

[ainijames]

It's all automated, but it requires babysitting.
it's worth it to me, is it worth it to you - who knows.

[jamiechi]

It is difficult, but it is improving. I think I am addicted.
I love Factorio and have over 2500 hours in that.

I quit playing Satisfactory and Dyson Sphere Program.
Edit: I quit playing Satisfactory for now because the modding community there is extremely Toxic. If you don't use Discord you will be ignored and the mod forum has not seen a post in months. It was disabled for quite awhile.
Dyson Sphere is nice, but I don't like the spherical maps. I thing the Earth is flat and sitting on top of turtles. (There are turtles all the way down.)
I may play Satisfactory later, when things settle down a bit.

This game is better than these two.

[Imortalin]

Ok cool thank you. I have both of those as well.

can't see your steam profile. no clue if you'd like it.

you didn't say if you liked those games jamiechi mentioned either.

I do like all of this games. With satisfactory and factorio being on the top of the list. I even have quite a few hours in Minecraft modded for the automation lol. Thanks.

For sure. I sunk tons of hours into modded Minecraft.
Get the game, try it for up to 2 hours. If you don't like it get a refund through steam no questions asked.

sastisfactory is fun until u have to rework ur whole industry chain. i like this more than factorio due to the realism.

[tripodalt]

lol realism is relative in all that games

i remember hearing there was a jetpack in satisfactory before i played it. i played it with a friend first time and I kept repeating. you should start the game with a jetpack. not sure if the designers understand the main issues in that game. AA sums up the game in the intro:

Rise of Industry was crap, I didn't play it much either. This on the other hand, has a lot to offer already, and more to come

I have been using the 'just fly' mod for that reason in Satisfactory. Never used the jetpack.

Edit: And as for other similar games, the ships and pirates remind me of the Anno games. In Anno you start in a ship, select your landing zone and place your initial dock and settlers.
I wish this game had those options. (See my comment on Suggestion forum in subject "Move starting dock".)

This game is a ton of fun in terms of setting up an ideal factory, though as you progress in research, what was ideal can't remain.

Evospace is also a great factory builder game.

[Lancar]

Unlike both Factorio and Satisfactory, this game makes you fear supply shortage like nothing else. Unless you prepare ahead of time with plenty of reserves stashed away, your factory can grind to a complete halt, and getting it back online can be a pain.
You're provided with ways to prevent this, such as customizable alerts for critical storage levels. While I'm sure some things will eventually be made more forgiving by default, thinking ahead is critically important in this game.

In many ways, this game is a lot more realistic than other factory games.
I really like it.

That sounds interesting, though what do you mean by that?
"though as you progress in research, what was ideal can't remain."

right now game is death spiral simulator, you either okay or completely dead.

also game demand from you to make storages and set alerts on all core parts of your industry, as recovering from death spirals is tricky.

devs probably should look at stellaris, that recently implemented wonderful system to prevent death spirals, in addition to "virtual market" that was here for ages.

both systems are designed for AI actually, but players can benefit from them in same way as AI do.
