Will ever have the procedural map?

[Tyler]

In future maybe? Far far future? Yes? Tell me yes.
Can't accept a no as answer

[Verios44]

Most likely no.

To me most things procedural actually lower quality of the work.

But you must admit that will be more long-lived. Instead of play everytime in the same map, with same environment and spots...

Unlikely, would be way too much work for a map this size.
Works fine in 2D worlds but not in Satisfactory.

Try to explore all of the current Satisfactory map and report back when you're done. ^^

Minecraft, No Man's Sky, Space Engineers, etc. have no problems to handle big procedurally created map

Not really. The playable land mass is appx 5.4 x 5.4 km square. Total including oceans and building over the void is 7.5 by 7.5km. Add in the ceiling and floor, and the total volume of playable area is close to 125km in volume.

Yoy can easily get a totally different experience by starting the game in a different start location.

Procedural would be nice, but the game isnt designed with it in mind. Static nodes, collectibles, etc.

Yeah, but they're far from the quality this map has. (and it's beauty)

Explore one NMS planet, explore another and you have seen it all already.

Planets in SE are extremely simple in comparison as well.

But will be more challenging gather resources from random locations, instead of positions studied for a gradual increase in difficulty.

Now you start nearby to iron and basic resources, but in procedurally way, you can start away from iron and close to oil. (just an example)
That will be more difficult to handle and more long-live...

Seems you don't know the game that well.
There currently are 4 different starting locations, each with different amount, grades and distances to resource nodes and space to build. And you can always choose where to go and build your base, even in your procedural "hard" map you could just go to the next node.

How? Oil isnt even usabale for the first tiers.

Thats why the starting locations start you near iron, copper, and limestone.

Oil, quartz, bauxite, sulfur, uranium, caterium, and coal are worthless in the early stage of the game.

It's not going to happen - The sooner you get to terms with that, the less you'll be annoyed.

The map is hand-crafted. Ergo - no. "Far far" future - who knows, but still very unlikely.

[aY227]

As above.
But you know... I can imagine some kind of random mode where resource nodes will have a lottery. Same with slugs.

Anyway, Im 99.5% sure there will be no procedural generation maps. Best procedural will look like a ♥♥♥♥ in comparison.

Btw - please check youtubers mega factories, and how much of map they utilize :DDD

So true, it's a game where everything is fake.

[CrazyOdd]

The answer is no. Its way too expensive to get it right.
Not to mention, it rarely works with games that will have a story.
