Factorio vs satisfactory mod#

These recipes are only accessible by finding these items, so what you started building at the start of the game is NOT what you will end up building at the end.

Foundations can clip through the terrain and that is needed as they snap on each other to create a smooth level surface.Įxploring the map will net you researchable items that can lead to finding different, alternative recipes. Just cross them by taking it under or over the other one.įree placement on land, but snapping on foundation pieces. No underground belt Satisfactory is a 3D game so it doesn't need to have this to cross two belts. The only limit is the speed of the outgoing belt connected to these entities Splitters and mergers do NOT have an internal bandwidth like Factorio does. This means that balancers or changes in direction are very different in Satisfactory. Splitter and merger are two different entities with three entries to one exit. A belt comes out of the miner and into the storage or into the smelter. There are no inserters all interfaces are direct belt feeds. There is no fluid system per se while you do mine oil, that is made into barrels which are then moved by belts. However all can drive themselves via recorded paths you have recorded, and the train can of course have a list of stations to visit which it does in turn.Ĭombat is not a big part of it as the wildlife will only attack the players, never structures or vehicles. None of these are fighting vehicles, in fact, monsters do not attack them, and if you are driving one of these, you are not attacked. It has vehicles, two load transporting ones, and one exploration vehicle, and train.

It has 6 (alleged, 4 confirmed) belt speeds which makes moving materials easy. Make a miner and it will make resources forever. The map is hand made, singular, always the same. You can build high and create floors of factories and you will need to navigate around or over very high geographical features like waterfalls or cliffs. the 3rd dimension is a functional addition, not a gimmick. You will sit and admire some vistas that you come across. Whatever you used to make an electric engine at the start, you will also use to make it 1000 hours later. The recipes do not change after the game has been created. The map is infinite and procedurally generated The resources end, they are not unlimited, so always creating the need to make new outposts. It's not the prettiest, but it is highly functional and the graphics are far from acceptable they are actually nice and they did not have to be. The circuit network allows for insane complexity or control

All entities exist as a grid: a belt is 1 block, a splitter is two blocks, a factory is 3 by 3 blocks. There is no 'let me place this one pixel to the left'. The game has blueprints and robots which allow after a while to build fast and bigĪlways builds on a grid. Attach a blue belt to a yellow splitter and the outgoing blue belt will be fed items at the speed of the splitter. Has a 2 to 2 device that acts as a splitter and merger at the same time. The items are moved by robots or inserters. There is a fluid system which is still being upgraded (current best-known system is not in the game but coming) The car and the tank cannot do anything unless you are in them. It has a train for automated transport (or manual, you can drive the train), and you can make a car and a tank to drive in and fight with (car has a turret as well, tank has a cannon and a turret).

I will not mention mods as that is not the point start comparing mods and you are moving away from the game and its devs to the talent of its mod creators and its popularity.įactorio is precise, built to create big bases, has combat all over and is 'limited' to two dimensions. The two games are different, and only similar on a surface level.
