How long is the game currently on content?
Seeing like only 6 hours of stuff to do in reviews. And satisfactory alone gave me 100+ hours on the little it had when it launched in EA.

I have 78 hours into it now and the first update has not hit yet. I am sure you could finish what there is of the story in 6 hrs but its an open ended, procedurally generated world and you can spend a lot of time designing and building your airship/base.

Yeah, it's fair to compare two different games of two different genres, developed by two different teams with different background and development experience and judge them only by the amount of time you can spend in them. Gimme a break.

This plus spending time finding every different location type and the tech that can be found in them.

I have 45 hours in, and completed the main "quest" in 15 or 20. Time after that I spent expanding my ship and finding the bits..many of which I found *after*. I went in pretty much blind, and only watched videos and such after completing the main quest.

I'm pretty confident i have nearly all the bits and bobs other than perhaps a piece of furniture or two, and possibly some paint types although i have an awful lot of those so I may be nearly there.

How much content the game has *now* has very little to do with how much content it'll have in say a year...it's pretty early in the early access phase. I'm sure there will be more.

This is my exact same experience give or take a couple of hours here and there. This is one of those carry your base with you where you go game, so it really rewards going out there and exploring. Which means you will sync a good amount of time doing so. I do got to say, even though the point of interest are procedure generated, they do look a bit same, or at least the landing zone makes it look same-ish specially since it takes such a large spot in the POI.

I'd say right now realistically story 4-6 hours. Finding every location and blueprint another 5+ hours, designing a ship the way you want and outfitting it another 5+ hours.

Once beta comes that should add a few more hours in the two latter categories.

So, overall probably conservatively speaking a solid 15-20 hours of things to do at a minimum.

I personally have 46 hours but I have been patiently waiting for the beta to come to live or else I'd have a lot more haha.

Did everything there was to do in a bit less than 15 hours. Maybe there are some more furniture blueprints left to find, but i dont really care about those.

I would say that a seasoned player who knows how everything works and/or who watched a few well done tutorial videos could handle it in 4-6 hours. A green player who did not sit down with the tutorials and just started the game will take longer..at least 2x, probably closer to 3-4x as long as they learn/make mistakes.

Uncertain if this is any indication of "how long the game is in its current state" but I'm just about to hit 140 hours played.
