Factorio vs Satisfactory

[Sinnik]

Now that this game is officially released. Is this better than Factorio?

[KittyCoffeeCream]

Factorio is better.

factorio is a pixel mess without vertical building. even with less buildings you will have more options in satisfactory.

if you like designing stuff in 3d space, satisfactory wins. but you don't have to, you can expand horizontally.

factorio is more like an old school game where you chain buildings on a 2d plane. dump it, connect, done. without combat people would get bored very fast.

2 different games. Play both

[Eric Clapped 'Em]

Both games offer different types of gameplay despite being factory builders. It is hard to compare without knowing someone's preferences as that would matter, or even the metrics to compare the games on. Overall, I like both games, but I find that Factorio is still probably the better of the two. Just the sole fact that it is easier to design, build, and grow your factories in Factorio is what makes it better for me. I've always found this game to be a bit more tedious in that regard, but there have been improvements in that area. Factorio still does it better.

I could never get into factorio

I've played both, I love factorio, I have even beat the space exploration mod.
This is just way too meaningless and boring for me.
Research feels like a check box, without ever feeling fun.
The game had a ton of potential, but it definitely is not what I envisioned 1.0 to be.

there's a bunch more games now than just factorio/satisfactory.

Dyson Sphere is really fun, same with Hydroneers. There's techtonica and a bunch of other new and upcoming games just like this one. Satisfactory is a bit dated immo

[Schobbob]

both are great

[Hassel]

both are great, satisfactory is more manual building while factorio have more automation when building and combat

[Liquid Todd / Slash]

Factorio's problem is the tutorial. You are expected to know what damaged machines look like so that you can replace them with new machines.

My younger self would of had the patience to play factorio if I came across it 30 years ago because graphics didn't mean as much back then but that was then and this is now. Satisfactory is easy to get into and it matches my sense of humour.

The hell were you expecting? Its a building sandbox first and foremost. Always has been, CS has ALWAYS said this.

[Birdorf]

Try both games for yourself. or is money that tight?

I suppose it's a fair question, but it must have been asked many times over the years and I doubt V1 has made that much of a difference.

Have you tried searching (I just did. Lots of results)?

Clearly, Factorio is the superior factory building game!

[Marvk]

Let's wait if anybody finds out about the game Foundry. Satisfactory in Minecraft with destruction
