Satisfactory

I know.

People thought that I was going to super love Satisfactory, and I kind of did, but it was a little too chaotic for me.

I like the building aspect.

I like all that.

Yeah

... it's kinda like Satisfactory, getting things automated so you-

This ain't no Satisfactory

...

it feels satisfying.

This ain't no Satisfactory.

No, it's not like that.

[laughs]

They require so many layers of manufacture that you have to make eight different things to make one.

He continues, some games like Satisfactory and maybe even Star Rupture work this style by automating the process.

This works for a while until again, you need so much automation to make one simple product.

It takes too long to do.

I have so many of these types of games and I can honestly say I do not think I have ever managed to get to the end game if it has one.

His list includes Satisfactory, Star Rupture, Planet Crafter, Astroneer, Minecraft, Icarus, Dune, Space Engineers, Empyrean, Valheim, etc., etc., As you can see, I am a sucker for them as I love the premise and the game genre, but they all have flaws.

Anyone else have an opinion? So the question is, do you find these games to become tedious? And do you have any other opinions about these games? I'm going to let Greg go first because I know he's particularly fond of this type of game.

And so I want to

It looks really cool.

And that Satisfactory and Star...

Oh, there's another one.

It's like Star Rupture, Star something like that.

That's another Satisfactory-like that looks really, really cool.

Before we get into house cleaning and getting out of here, we got two questions.

Finny wants to know, Balto or Toy Story? What's the other one? I'm going Toy Story.

The touchpads are actually pretty good.

I've been playing Satisfactory, which was designed as a mouse and keyboard game, and it's not bad.

Yeah, I like them, and I think they're genuinely... great like no other console is doing these fun little pad things right and then you can feel when it's actually tracking and that's that's lovely um but i'm just not playing something like starcraft

oh fair yeah

I have PTSD from it

now.

I was playing a hell of a lot of Satisfactory before I started drywalling my basement and had to take my OLED down so that we didn't get covered in drywall dust, which got freaking everywhere.

As soon as I get everything painted and carpeted, which will hopefully be in the next month or so, I can get back to playing because I would really like to start playing games again.

don't know if I'll play it.

I've honestly just been playing Satisfactory and Miss Fall Hunters.

Ooh,

how Satisfactory.

It's just, I haven't had time.

It feels like I need hours to get that properly set up.

That's fair.

I love playing games like

and I can run 20-year-old games without a problem.

But once I'm back on my regular desktop, which is actually this coming Monday on the 31st, we'll be back to playing a game called Satisfactory.

Very easy to be chatty with.

I'd like to talk about Eurovision if it's in the chat, or sometimes even if it's not in the chat.

Well, [laughs] my farmhands got to level 300 on my farm while I was AFK, which is sort of like playing, right? [laughs] So that's, that's been interesting, uh, and a lesson in, um...

[clicks tongue] You know how I'm playing it, Justin? I'm playing it like something like Satisfactory.

I don't know if you guys have ever played that.

Um, but that's pretty much what I'm doing.

And then you have to grow a bunch of plants to get tech four, and now I'm on the energy one, so I'm having to create a whole bunch of electricity and energy in different ways.

And then so it's, it's, it's kinda like, uh, milestones in Satisfactory, um, where each time you unlock like a whole bunch of new buildable things that you can then buy with your gold and, and stuff like that.

Yep.

Got it.

I, I will say this, I will say this.

It's fun to build the things.

It is not nearly as complex as like a Factorio or a Satisfactory.

It is far, far, far more basic.
