Life After 1.0?

[mackster]

So, once this enjoyable journey concludes at 1.0, what would you like to see next?

DLC? Satisfactory 2?

I bet development companies wonder if this niche genre, which has had a lot of interest and new games lately, is at the peak and heading to decline or if there is more rope to pull new games in, interesting DLC or move on to a completely new genre.

Myself, I would like to see Satisfactory 2, though with more procedural generated worlds, allowing the same thing as the original, but with abilities to jump to different planets and perhaps some terrain modifications too! I like the world in this original, but its fixed. Being able to alter terrain would add a lot for me.

Also, I would def join EA for this, based on the tremendous support and connection that Coffee Stain community managers provide. They really are a class of their own. In fact they can have me EA money now, I would be that confident in them achieving

Anyways, what are your thoughts?

I'm guessing a 'Satisfactory 2' is unlikely, since they just add new stuff to the game. Yes, I get that you want procedural generation, but then there's games like Techtonica which already do this WHILE being similar to Satisfactory.
Statistically speaking, it's not out of the question that the do DLC, but then they'll still have to patch that stuff into the base game for MP, so :\
Free updates are the likeliest, as there are still many features that the devs want to add, but don't have enough time to do so for 1.0

DLC - Lava Planet (with which they are teasing us ingame right now if you look long enough).
That said I´d expect new Machines for thermal things, new ways of overclocking (slime slugs and high temperatures don´t go well along if your not going to eat the slug), and energy generation would be a new thing too. Change of ressource from water planet to lava planet, maybe with some new collector machines to not only farm on ground but also in space or Lava (like a space elevator in xxs - just for collecting...stardust? Asteroids for ressource? Molten minerals? Idk but something like that).
And on a world like that the old Trainmodels would be super nice which we only were able to see in a video back then (or via modifying game files) and of course we need cool sunglasses with different glass colors - I do not want to see red all the time ^^

Why DLC and not Satisfactory 2? Dunno, I thing DLC should only add to the Basic game and a new planet with some new and old stuff sounds more like a big dlc then a new game. I´d pay the full price for an addon like this as long as coffee Stain can keep their things together.

I think the best "life after 1.0" scenario is simply the continued existence of the current Coffee Stain identity. Given the ongoing and future chaos surrounding the restructuring and reorganizing of the development studios held by the Embracer Group happening over the next two years, I want to see Coffee Stain retain the staff, energy, charisma, and independence that allowed them to create Satisfactory, and that Coffee Stain be allowed to keep moving forward with whatever next project they choose.

I hope for a few new maps.
- New goals for the space elevator.
- They could add a leayer before the starting location as strarting planets.
- Cold and or lava biomes, barren world with extensive underground biomes.
- 3-4 new node types 1-2 new mechanic / planet
- Cargo ships, underwater ?

If they do satisfactory 2 they need to add something extra like destructible terrain/water physics or there is no point doing it.

Depends on the story stuff I guess. I would like some map DLC's. An archipelago would be interesting, or a space expansion Ala Factorio.

Why do you need that much attitude and rudeness against an OP? He just want to discuss possibilities, suggestions, expectations etc with others. That's all. Why so much hate Alsl, especially in Czech language? Or is the attitude only in confident Czech language because you are not able to say that in English and you think we are not able to understand you?

For the OP:
- I would like to see after 1.0 release many more community suggestion to be implemented, such as better Blueprint machine (expandable over Tiers)
- Better alignments to the world grids (possibely comes with 1.0)
- Story expand over the time. Like they will add more content to the story without the needs of restarting save.
- and many more I can't remember. Community is huge and will definitely help :)

they will polish 1.x a bit more with a few features that not will be in 1.0 but after releasing 1.0 they have all time in the world and need only a skeleton crew for it.

Hi Mackster

I wanna try Desynced, Foundry, Dyson Sphere and Techtonica. The one I like most I will stick with and try to finish. This is NOT depending on "before" or "after" 1.0. My feelings have their own iterary or "logic". I just do whatever I feel on a day to day basis. Since I play a lot Satifactory now I can well imagine to make a big break after that. Or not. There is no time pressure.
