Ok last question

[SuperDean]

Is this just a non blocky version of modded minecraft where they removed the ability to mine and change the land?

That's like comparing Doom, Halo, CoD, or any other shooter just because you run around, jump, and shoot things. Taking the most fundamental parts of a game and super over-simplifying it doesn't help you understand it in the slightest.

But sure, if that's how you want to spin it, then yes, it's just non-blocky minecraft.

i really have no experience whith shooters, and i don't see why wouldn't you be superficialy comparing them just to see what kind of thing you are looking into, the same way as you can compare "shooters", "sandboxes" and "puzzle games" to see what are the main huge differences to understand what kind of games is more for you
i mean, yeah, people always say "don't comprare orange whith apples", but i think that because they are so different, the comparation is more important, just not on details but on overall feeling


whith also what i said above, to address op:
first of all, i'm wandering around this forum to see what's going on, while waiting for some end-game stuff to be made by my ME system on GTNH, so understand that i'm going to be biased since i can't really enjoy any other game since when i got into gtnh.

i also want to take factorio into account since we are comparing really different games when checking the details but all being sandboxes often compared.

the main different thing i see in the "ffeling of these 3 games are:

-modded minecraft:
you have A LOT of stuff to do manualy when copared to the other 2 games. really a HUGE TONS. yeah, you will be "smeelting" by hand your first iron ores and making some iron plates by "hand" on satisfactory, but it won't go on for too long, and it's pretty chill to do (just do 2 click and then keep a button pressed", while in minecraft you will always, from the biginning to the end, moving items around by hand, no matter how much yo uautomate, you are still using the ME crafting terminals. on factorio, the crafting is even "invisible", you click what you want to craft and the game does the whole sub-crafting tree, and pretty fast you start having drones stocking your inventory whith everything. so, isay that modded minecraft is more about experiencing in first person the items/machine you are using/working whith, even whith heavyly automated packs

-satisfactory:
i didn't goo too far tbh, i'm waiting for the final release to complete it, but from what i've seen, it's more about aestetics and relaxed crafting. resources are basicaly infinite, once you palce a mining machines, this will last forever and keep producign stuff forever, so, 0 maintenace required, this is also true for all minecraft packs, but only in supre-late game usualy, it's compeltly different.
that makes resources less critical, so you can just relax and build, whith no worries.

-factorio:
i'd say you can play this in different fashons, but i'ts mostly about mass producing and scaling up, it is also theo nly one of the three games where combact is fun and relevant.

also, everything depends a LOT on how you want to play these games, and how you tweak the settings and what mods you use (well, i didn't touch any satisfactory mod/settings actualy).

TL;dr:

-modded minecraft: resource managing
-satisfactory: relax while building cool stuff that does stuff
-factorio: make things go big

You can slap down foundations anywhere you like. Flat squares of three different depths, and ramps of three different slopes. Later you get walls, stairs, and ladders. But that's as far as terraforming goes.

yes but i mean its like modded minecraft but minus the changing of the land (and graphics)

Dear OP
You appear to be desperate for a game that includes the ability to terraform and you have only mentioned 'modded' Minecraft as a comparison to Satisfactory.
Allow me to be clear, this game is all about manufacturing parts for an ongoing construction project in space above this alien world.
There is no terraforming or any manipulation of land or sea.
There is a huge map to explore, resources to be discovered and fauna to be 'dealt' with.
The game neither looks nor plays like Minecraft, mods or not.
By all means watch some of the many Youtube playthroughs to get a better idea.
I wish you success in your search for whatever it is you are looking for ;)

If you want, and make enough raw material to do it. The map's pretty damn huge, I think I heard it's 7km by 8km.

well ill go look at that game, but ill still buy this game once its a bit more (shall we say) not updating every so often to have to keep replaying the game

lol (sry for the lol but if some people read that they probably get triggered) but the game is known for updating very slow and you dont have to rebuild anything when a update hits.

really? people are talking about how the power generators has changed so they had to change their layouts but whatever

that was a joke i would get no joy from doing that

also, you usualy don't build too much underground (yeah, stop doing dirt houses and living in caves!) in minecraft, and whith how ores work here, there is realyl no need to dig.
you can build how much you want going upwards, there are many blocks for building cool stuff

[Zorlond]

You never know, I've seen YouTubers who build ridiculously enormous factories just for kicks. You should look up ImKibitz, his voice gets a bit annoying, but his builds are undeniably massive.

ok, i'm thinking op is jsut bashing the game at that point,
3 threads on the same topic by the same person

everyone plays minecraft differently, i usally build a small room on the side of a montian and then slowly mine out the mountain and replace it with stone bricks untill its a square like castle and there is no longer a mountain there

I mean imagine you build a factory and your boss buys new machine, ofc it will need lots of organization to fit it in your current set up.

Sure people who build to few generators had some problems but they simply had to build more power plants now. (If you build correctly the new power system was never a problem to begin with)

I mean thats something you dont have in modded minecraft right? Electricity and power managment? ;)

Also its early access expect changes.

oh i was talking on how exsiting generators are now 100% and what not, but you should go to that discussion they are talking about that on if you want to talk about that since i don't know much on how that works
