    In terms of the factory breaking down, I think it'd be cool if a universal dilapidation texture applied over time as a way to mark that something has been there for a long time. Moving on to a new base post-start and going back to see your old base rusted but still functioning could be a really cool atmosphere feature. Cleaning should be absurdly easy and fast but still controlled so you can pick exactly which buildings get cleaned.

    I think it would also be cool if it functioned like the oxidation of copper system that minecraft has, where you **can** clean it up if it’s dirty, but if you want to, you can “lock” the wear at a certain stage if you do want to keep it clean. This is like how you can wax the copper in Minecraft to lock the oxidation, keeping at that stage indefinitely(unless you unwax it) instead of it continuing to visually decay.

I'd imagine at most you're adding an on-click trigger, a `coffee` variable, a counter that decrements `coffee` over some arbitrary period of time, and a UI element that displays the current value of `coffee`. If we need an in-universe justification as to why it does literally nothing, it's because FICSIT only allows decaf.

    To be consistent with his design comments, have them flitting around inside & between greenhouses. Keeping with the theme of exploiting a pristine world, the greenhouses could require mined & manufactured chemicals like fertilizer, minerals, water, etc. I would lean towards hydroponics & aeroponic machines to keep with the industrial/factory theme (though it would be amusing to start having the various critters start dropping gatherable "fertilizer"). Greenhouse spaces would need to be lit with artificial lights, supplied with water & power & nutrients, maintained (by bots?), picked and processed. I think there is a lot of space for chill gameplay with something like factory farming

    You're absolutely right! If I was a game developer, a place like Coffee Stain would be a dream job for sure! That being said, your comment is one of the top and I'm going to shamelessly piggy back off it to make my suggestion XD A lot of people are mentioning the little robots, and I also think that would be really cool to see. But most people are basically suggesting to copy Factorio's robots and what they do. I'd like to suggest that the robots do a purely cosmetic task. I suggest Coffee Stain adds Cleaning Robots to the game! I'd like to see your machines become weathered over time. I'm NOT talking about needing maintenance. I agree maintenance is tedious and doesn't fit the game design. I think it would be cool for your machines to become weathered and dirty over time, machines exposed to the outside would become dirtier than those that are enclosed. Maybe machines within a certain distance from a furnace/smelter would get black soot all over them. Real factories are often incredibly dirty places. Machine weathering would add gameplay in a couple of ways. First off, a "power washer" hand tool could be added to spray down dirty machines manually if you so choose. It could use packaged water from your inventory, which you get access to early enough that your factory isn't forever dirty, but late enough that your factory has a chance to actually get dirty. Besides by the time you get packaged fluids, whatever you built is probably getting torn out and replaced with shiny new machines anyway. This mechanic would really "shine" in the late game when you have established factories and some of them are showing their age and you can't possibly manually wash it all yourself. This is where the little cleaning drones come in. You could set up cleaning stations around your factories that would deploy cleaners in a certain radius. Perhaps you could assign certain areas for them to clean. The drone/robot dock should be a fairly cheap item. It serves the purpose of both charging the robots and providing them with water. The robots would be far more efficient with water usage than the hand held pressure washer. The robots themselves should be kind of expensive, but not too crazy. I understand that having to ship water throughout the factory would probably be a tedious task. I'm not certain of a work around for this. Maybe the cleaning being optional would allow for the slight annoyance to be okay? There could be multiple types of robots with varying prices and stats, kind of like the vehicles currently in the game. perhaps a humanoid robot that can only really travel where a player can walk. Maybe a sort of R2-D2 type "trash can on wheels" kind of droid. And the most high tech a hovering drone that can go over obstacles and work extremely quickly. I imagine that by far the hardest part of implementing AI into our factories would be pathfinding through what is often a spaghetti mess. Perhaps there's a potential for a super late game upgrade to robots that allows them to phase through obstacles. That seems like something that could be accomplished with the MAM using materials from the super collider. Perhaps something made from SAM ore??? With this idea we would get the visual bonus of having dynamically weathered machinery over time. Which in turn would add a mechanic to the game that is totally cosmetic but offers an interesting game play loop. We would get new tools and a new use for packaged water. The addition of little robots going about the factories with an actual purpose. As well as a new building to charge the robots with an additional item need to keep filled. I could see people leaving areas purposely dirty and weathered just for the aesthetic. It would add an entirely new level of visual detail to the game and a lot of life to player factories with little robots moving about keeping everything tidy. Thank you for reading, I hope Coffee Stain sees this! *One thing I would like to note, is that although I agree that maintenance is not necessary in satisfactory, it could be actually really easy to implement if the cosmetic weathering system was to be implemented. A mod creator could simply read the "dirt" level of the machines and say the dirtier the machine, the lower the max efficiency is. Maybe the dirtiest machines would run at 20% efficiency. Not totally crippling a production line, but certainly requiring attention. Is it possible to add custom animations to mods? If so, perhaps a "welding" type animation could be used after the washing animation to show the robots fixing after cleaning. A repair tool could be added as well for early game maintenance. There's a lot of potential.

    Jace you're spot on. I'm a board game designer and something that is so important even more so in that world but still applicable to video games is that you're vying for the player's attention. Everything you put in the game needs to be supporting a goal, experience, feeling that you want the player to have. Everything else is just a distraction. Otherwise the player is pulled in too many directions and won't be able to enjoy ANY aspect of the game, even if all aspects are "enjoyable."

I can lose myself for hours in building and adventuring without any real sense of peril.

    About the base maintenance thing... lost count how many times I removed a belt that I thought did nothing and later found a whole line of production had shut down and I had to backtrack the problem to a single belt or splitter that I removed by mistake. The game is already about improving and redesigning. It'd be a nightmare if we needed to maintain our belt spaghetti

    The first half has really made me appreciate why Satisfactory is such a nice, calming game for me. Nothing is out of my control... aside from all the automated buildings... BUT WHAT I MEAN BY THAT, is that it never really takes you away from what you're doing. There's no urgent tasks that try to take your attention away from what you want to do, you're allowed to work on what you want to work on with little to no repercussions. The only big thing I can think of that can be considered "urgent," is power management, but that's still something that's in your control, and an outage is preventable.

    I'm with you here, I would love to see agriculture and animal husbandry added for the benefit of having renewable plant and animal products as well as biomass, but I suspect you might unlock farmland and livestock pens before you unlock the bots to automate it. In terms of export value, medical inhalers that serve as a panacea would be a hot ticket item to send off to the home office. An added resource sink that didn't look like a masher wheel might be beneficial, and a way to launch nuclear waste into the void... just saying, there's plenty of other "unrealistic" factors in the game, suddenly having to deal with un-disposable nuclear waste is jarring. (edit) P.S. We already have "Green Energy" in the game with geothermal. Renewable energy with biofuel would be an appropriate expansion, as would some form of solar steam plant. the problem here would be configuring the water supply, the steam generators, and whether your game allows for the "collected sunlight" to vary based on real conditions (don't put one in the shade of a mountain, for instance)

    I'd like to also word it slightly different for anyone who is still not getting the whole "it's not the game we are making." They want to do one thing; working towards one goal. When you add big ideas in the middle of the project, you don't have one goal anymore, or even TWO! You now have three goals: create the base game, make the addon, and make them blend in a fitting way. This takes time, effort, and money that could be better spent JUST working towards one goal. Multitasking is never better. I haven't even mentioned how it may not fit with their ARTISTIC interpretation of the game they want to make. Imagine you want to change the statue of "the Thinker" slightly. Instead of him resting his head on his fist (therefore in thought) say you want him to be pointing to the sky with that hand. Small change right? Well, now it seems like he's REALIZED something. With that small change he's not thinking anymore. Now he's "the realizer" still a cool statue, but not one the sculptor set out to make. It's got a completely different vibe to it. TL;DR Multitasking slows down the workflow and is more expensive, and small changes shift the tone of the whole game.

    For the little bots. Just make them slow; frequent need to go to charge pad until endgame. That can essentially be a point A to point B "convayor belt" alternative. They pick up item, take it to next location, like a mobile filter splitter that can climb or move on any surface. For extra supplies, setting up special hyper tubes "duct" systems for bot travel can ultimately make each level of bot more efficient than convayer. Example; lvl 2 convayor speed would be equivalent to level 1.5 bot speed but with tubes it bot speed would be double convayor speed. Basically a resource sink to make your factory look even more busy with convayors, carts, and now bots running and being fired around your factory.

    Regarding terraforming, I always thought a nice alternative would be "terrain projects", where CS could implement a number of pre-made map alterations that are just toggled on after the player completes some milestone. Some examples: widening and clearing a cave entrance, transforming a scenic waterfall into an oppressive hydro dam, or building a path up a cliff face to connect two biomes.

Maybe when you get the milestone that unlocks them, the terminal in the HUB that has the "Yellow Screen of Death" on it becomes a terminal that you can program the bots from. Using whatever language the devs think would be best. I think it could add a whole new layer of automation to the game, being able to program complex behavior or automate things that would normally have to be done manually like refueling bio-burners.

I've been a player in games in the past that have decided to shift their game, like from PVP to PVE, but without having the PVE elements to justify that, and ultimately end up disenfranchising their community and destroying their game. I really respect coffee stain as a studio, it seems like you really have a good vision for your games and do an excellent job bringing them to life.

At some point they just made a small event in closed beta where we all could try it for a short amount of time. Everyone knows how it ended.... the "just for fun"-project turned out to be the biggest success ever for Fortnite/Epic and got bigger within a short amount of time than the base game within years. This is the reason why ALL studios should give devs some hours to do whatever they want, no matter how crazy their ideas are.... often someones idea is so good, it has to be put into the game.

Why? Ficsit, please. 2) Also fix the Blade Runners pivot point while player flying into the Hypertube. Now they flying at the left side and below the tube, looks weird. 3) Fix the navmesh of The Space Giraffe-Tick-Penguin-Whale Thing, it stucks in my layered factory between the foundations, or moves thru the meshes. It disturbs with its yaws full of existential pain, and I have to kill it. 4) Add the decor: sofas, tables, plants, PC or wall screens (perhaps, it can show the lines of production statistic, effectiveness, power capacity), ets. That will be cool to half-lay on the sofa a looking thru the window how your factory works. 5) I'm not sure, but that thought came to me while playing: a possible to make music with the machines (just like in Dancing in the Dark, 2000, factory scene, "Cvalda" song), it requires fix the timing of sounds and its pitch a little. 6) I'm not sure if it exist, but I'll be glad to see that when I build a conveyor on a certain height it keeps this height of previous conveyor pole automatically, and not set default to lowest level...

    Labor Robots possibility list. 1. Refuel bio generators. Make it post unlocking coal so it doesn't imbalance the early game but makes keeping them as a backup before battery use viable in the late game. 2. Sentry duty. Regardless of if intended sometimes creatures do spawn in factory areas. I've had it happen in the most recent patch inside my elevated off the ground magnetic field generator facility. This would make an in game reason to not fix this. You could also make them collect the items and drop them in a designed loader (something like the hopper mod maybe) that you could feed into either storage or filtration and production. of biofuel or dna for extra coupons (giving you more reason to give us more materials to work with in the shop rather than 3 or 4 per object, *wink wink nudge nudge.* 3. Scouting duty. Possible mid game alternative to radio towers, with whatever limitations you deem fit. Like limited range, only be able to mark nodes on the map one at a time and if you've unlocked them or something. 4. Forage Droid, Does what it says and would look in range from it's hub for ripe berries bacon and nuts. giving people a reason to try and automate medical inhaler production as the material though slow will be gotten without manually filling storage units that fill the system. 5. Piggy backing on the last one, Medical droids. Give them a supply of medical supplies and any player who is injured in range of the factory, or it's sensor, or whatever, will seek out the player and offer them one to top up. Make the code if they accept it they go away for X amount of time so it doesn't follow the player if they choose not to use it. 6. Logistics droid. Lose something in your factory, but know you should have a supply of it SOMEWHERE... well there are various mods that now show us that the game does keep track of them and where they are. It could be a simple it travels your power network doing whatever small draw and if the item is in range it retrieves or even just guides the player to it's location. I'm not saying add them, I'd like it and I'm sure there will be mods eventually. I'm just saying as a player what I could see them doing that wouldn't completely break the game.

    Using the framework foundation, you can place a temporary foundation below it, then put mergers/splitters on that foundation. When you remove it, the splitters look like they are supported by the frame despite technically not, and the belts fit fairly well in that space.

    You know, Looking over this, it seems to me like basically all of the first three suggestions come from a similar place: "We want the factory to do something, have a way of interacting with itself or the world, that isn't just expansion and production of core goods." With survival, it's making new classes of items in the form of food and supplies for the player, or shelter, depending on what exactly the suggestions were. With base defense, it's a new a different set of design considerations that involves keeping critters out, or herding them tower defense style if they get in. With maintenance, it's design that ensures the factory is walkable and readily accessible, so that the player, or their robots, is always moving to and fro and so interacting with every bit of it or having it visibly interact with itself. Rather than making a cool production structure, turning it on, and leaving it to gather dust as it plugs away.

    This is a very reasonable take and one of my gripes with satisfactory. Making the factory is cool, really cool, so much so I have pured hundreds of hours into this game. But the factory justifies its existence by expanding the factory and thus, is pretty noninteractive with the world. You have this really cool map, which invites to amazement and wonder, yet interaction with the map is only done wiht the intent of making the factory bigger, or goofing around and building hyperloop-cannons. Something must be possible, some kind of interaction between the factory and its surroundings which is in sync with the vibe Satisfactory is going for, like painting the sky through the technology you develop in the factory. Or carving paintings in the rock with some kind of laserbeam, which is totally possible without opening the development-nightmare that would be real terraforming idk. I'm just spitballing here.

    5:35 Little robots running around would be great. And there's so many cool things they could do that it's hard to just pick one. The most practical might just be bringing you supplies, like a tiny drone that doesn't need a drone port but only carries one stack. "Concrete and iron plates, keep 'em coming while I build out this new factory floor." (Or maybe it does use a building like a drone port, but with you as the destination instead of another port.)

    I think that someone already mentioned that, but I'll just bring up this again to get some more credit for this idea. Weather can be an issue with green power. So let's say that there can be a cloudy week or something, solar panels won't work by themselves, as a result you can just make a better use of batteries in combination with classic powerplants. Green power will be something profitable, but not stable, cause weather is unpredictable in many ways. And, well, if your classic powerplant is not producing enough - you can just expand it via new sources, but if your green powerplants don't work because of cloudy unwinding days and weeks - you can only pray. Something like that.

    On Green Energy and Terraforming: Green energy: I understandthe lack of green energy not being in the base game and I personally love that it isn’t since it would require major management of them - building, consumption of power, how much you exploit the resources, etc. With that said, to me a green energy version would be more like an ultra hard mode for Satisfactory which definitely does intrigue me to play and experience. From that standpoint I would love to see if you guys could consider it. Same map but completely different buildings, materials not mineable, etc. Terraforming: since the world is based around the same map with different drop points, I understand why the world would isn’t possible for Terraforming. With that said, I would ask the following: Farming for space elevator deliveries: with how the game is setup, I don’t see that it would be a major issue to add hydroponic farming to the game for deliveries back to earth. Based upon messages from Earth in game, this doesn’t seem like a huge stretch of the lore to add. Full Terraforming: this would require a new map and totally new mechanics but I would love to see us dropped into a world similar to mars in conditions where we first have to get the world habitable then have to scan for resource nodes which don’t visually exist on the map, etc. This, to me personally, would be a type of god mode in game where we start with nothing and have to figure it all out on our own. Yes it would be making a completely new version of the game which I understand, but at the same time, would be crazy nuts to see what we can do with it. Just my 2 cents. Yes I am one who finds ultra hard and god mode games very entertaining, enjoyable, and relaxing as well.

Also the thematic argument of green energy doesn't work that well considering they already have green energy geothermal generators.

    Could just be a build gun upgrade. But one thing I'd really like is maybe having the drones to be able to see from high up and build at the same time with them, so you could also use them for making a factory a bit easier but still have some limits so you don't go to the other side of the map. Like a 800 meter range sounds good if you need to place conveyors and such. I think it would fit somewhere after you get the jetpack.
