THIS GAME NEEDS SANDBOX MODE

[Misthaufen9]

like actually

[Dreadlow]

I believe it's planned but not a priority so maybe when the game hits 1.0. Using SCIM[satisfactory-calculator.com] you can switch to creative mode.

In the mean time there are mods that provide equivalent functionality

not being a jerk, wouldn't a sandbox mod defeat the purpose of this game. Wondering how it would work.

It really would, but it existing wouldn't take away from MY enjoyment of the game. I simply wouldn't use it.

If people wanna strip away 90% of the gameplay by using a sandbox mode, good for them.

Some people are more interested in creating weird and wonderful and giant creations, than the achievment of completing the game the intended way.
The same reason why people play minecraft in creative mode

No need to shout it. :)

It will be here eventually, till then you have mods that can help with it.

I really enjoy the "story" mode... Growing up, developing new stuff... But it is pretty easy to reach Nuclear power and MK5 stuff... Now it's boring and I keep wondering if it is worth it to finish the last Space Elevator capstone... Because there won't be nothing after (atleast stuff to unlock) you know? It's pretty easy to get to this point... I want Sandbox just because I want to start a new world with all the stuff I know now and have fun

Not if you think of this as digital Legos. ;)

Or a miniature train village.

People will start building, maybe for a day or two. Then get bored as they have all the content but have nothing to aim for. Nor do they have any consequences for bottlenecks or optimisation.

I think there is a fine line when it comes to sandboxes. Ones that can keep you engaged over a long time and ones that just kill the game for you like doing it all in one line.

it would be useful to plan builds in a separate world or just to mess around, it wouldn't take anything away from the game so i think it would be a great addition

Creative mode doesn't mean an end to having goals or wanting to run an efficient factory.

What is the purpose of this game? Like most, it's to have fun. Not everyone has the same fun the same way.

It kinda does when the game is a series of factories.

I mean make hearts and houses all you want, but the basis of this game is a stream of factories making stuff.

Its not like Minecraft, you cant basic build a computer with it.

I'm sure a dedicated person could make a Turing Complete factory if they tried hard enough.

It would make sense if there was some large loss from breaking things down. A sandbox mode would allow you to build and test designs before implementing them in the 'live' game.
