What can we do after Tier 8 ?

[TheIntelloBox]

There isn't any goal anymore except upgrading the factory.

[Suzaku]

Sip coffee from your golden cup and take a 5-minute mandated break.

[Wolfgang]

Build what you haven't built yet. Get all the statues. Find more harddrives and improve your lines with alt recipes.

[NZ.Zero]

It's open world so do whatever you want. Set your own goals.

[The Big Brzezinski]

Hit follow on the Satisfactory news feed and play something else.

[syphonax]

When game is fully released there will be an epic story and campaign mode or else someone will make glorious macho man leader mod with partial controller support,

[XLjedi]

Presently, there is no endgame loop; but maybe it's in the works for 1.0.

Maximize the points per minute for the awesome shop.

Make as much assembly director systems as the map provides and save some for thermal propulsion rockets.

Feed 250 ish nuclear power plants with uranium and recycle the waste into truck fuel (Plutonium fuel rods)

Make in insane amount of an item (40k smart plating just for fun)

Try the 5x5 chalenge.

Watch how others do it on youtube.

Make a sorting system and storage room that sorts all items and processes overflow into more valuable items. Only sink if there is no other option left.

Rework your factories with the most power efficient recipes and see the insane resource demand to save the unlimited power you have on the map for no apparent reason.

No Water Extractor chalenge. Buy enough aluminum from the awesome shop to get the pressurizer. Before that no water....

For a specific chalenge you don't always need to start over.
You can always dedicate a specific save name to that.

Remove all manifolds and replace with exact load balancing. Even the mergifolds.

Make your own constraints and challenges.

Since the gold novelty cup, I have nearly tripled production and power with the idea to prepare for the next tier. Currently. it's all going into the sink, but it's there to be used. I'm talking dozens per minute of high tier stuff like fused frames, pressure cubes, turbo motors and even thermal propulsion rockets, Plenty of heat sinks and cooling systems. Basically, kept going until there's hardly any bauxite and nitrogen left to extract. That and transportation logistics systems. Ready to go.

Wait for Tier 9 and 10! 🤣

[markornikov]

Mods! there are mods that add hundreds of new tiers, resources and stuff to craft.

Well, there are now 3 other items to build for the space elevator after tier 8. There are 4000 Assembly Director System, 4000 Magnetic Field Generators, 1000 Thermal Propulsion Rockets, 1000 Nuclear Pasta. This makes you build almost every single item.

I also wanted to go back and upgrade all my mines to Mk 3 miners. And optimize all my existing factories.

After you do all that, wait for an update :)

Well, you could start a Satisfactory Plus modded play through .. the added items in that mod will take forever to grind out.

when I get that phase 4 sent...then the real game begins because now now everything unlocked and I can rebuild my factory to be even more efficient.

There's always something to do. The factory must grow!

If you must ask...

Unless you want to burn yourself completely I suggest you take a break and come back when the game is properly finished.

Plenty of people leave a game if they push themselves to play it or feel they absolutely need a reason to play it. Especially if the game isn't finished you might not get as excited when you play it once it is finished.

I don't unlock the last tiers and play the game properly good until it's finished. I did that with a couple of games, and even though the developers released more content and somewhat stretched the goals, I was completely done with them after many many hours, and I moved on.

It's like marathoning a series you really love and once it's finished you're left with a huge empty abyss in your soul. :D

[Squirrely Wrath]

its a sandbox game, the goal is what you set for yourself; get creative
