Unfortunately, this is the exact issue I tend to have with logistics games. Logistics is, by definition, interconnected systems. And the rudimentary ways that each game implements these complex systems more often than not lead to very failable and fragile networks, with typically no reasonable way of preventing or getting warning from things that are about to fall apart, nullifying hours if not days of progress, due to one tiny slip, resulting in more hours of Sunk Cost just to try and make your initial time investment worthwhile. Other genres (with perhaps the exception of pure Roguelikes) mitigate this issue through saving systems on simple progressive structures for advancement. Logistics games are far too complex to have saving be the main thing to prevent progress loss. Potentially extra warning systems might be a solution for complex games like Factorio, but I believe that'll ultimately fall apart

I agree. It's a similar thing over here. My friend and I also play Satisfactory together and we work pretty well as a team. He hasn't built as much as me, but the stuff he does build are usually huge, complex, and look awesome (currently he's trying to process over 1500 Iron ore per minute divided as efficiently as possible between plates, screws, wire, and rods while also having a train station below to transfer resources.) Meanwhile I handle the progression through milestones and the research, as well as building smaller, not as awesome looking production buildings that produce the resources he needs for his larger projects. The result is he doesn't need to worry about grinding through the lower tiers to get to the point where he can do what he really enjoys in game and in turn the stuff he builds (power and transportation) blows anything I can do out of the water and provides us with more than what I'd be willing to do by myself. (His 40 coal generator power grid is more ridiculous than what I'd conceivably do myself lol).

I have hundreds of hours in Satisfactory... and I still find myself coming back to it over and over. Players are completely free to do whatever they want in this game, and the learning curve is easy and intuitive for both new and experienced players. One important thing, I think, might be that you can't really do anything wrong; make your factory the way you want, inefficient or with 100% effiency, it will still produce your goods. It is up to the player to understand efficiency... and you are truly given this freedom. In other words, you choose the difficulty by your own playstyle. You can't really blame the game for the mess because you've created it yourself... and so you learn from your mistakes. Or rather, you learn efficiency. You learn logistics. And there is no limit to how many production lines you're able to build. It's relaxing and make me feel good. It's a nice feeling watching your factory grow bigger and bigger, not even knowing yourself how it works.

[Oh, and: don't trust the demo to give you a representative experience of the game; the demo for DQB2 is terrible. It's like if Minecraft had a demo that stopped when you got a stone pickaxe.

God bless you for discussing the Oil Cracking fiasco in early Factorio. I was the only one of my friends who could set up oil production because it was too complicated for them to learn in one go. As people may know, oil fields and such in Factorio will slowly lose production, eventually forcing you to expand to new territory, and I had to be the one to make it work, every time. Resources in Satisfactory, on the other hand, don't run out. This encourages you to fiddle with the dials and get nice and efficient with your toys to within a percent or two, and it feels really good.

@asmonull

4 жыл бұрын

Whether it was a fiasco is debatable - while it is a wall of complexity to climb in order to move to midgame, very similar approach is quite often used by large overhaul mods for Factorio - you get a process that can't easily be optimized or scaled directly (due to byproducts, multiple paths to same outcome that have their tradeoffs, logistics complexity vs process complexity etc.) and you have to think your way around constraints using whatever tools you have available at the moment and in the forseeable future. Old oil worked well as a stepping stone for lategame (after first rocket) stage where just adding more assemblers stops being viable, and you need to think about what you want to achieve, what options you will have available in near future, what steps are involved and how to plan your whole production chain while taking multiple aspects into consideration before you start building. If anything - oil rework more or less changes focus of main campaign, and - while making road to first rocket much easier - also makes post-rocket stage of the game much harder to transition into. Lategame Factorio follows similar pattern, to which resources running out are a vital component - you can optimize for whatever metric you aim for, but every time it causes some direct or indirect drawback you have to take into account and balance for; the more you reduce mining/oil outpost complexity, the more you have to deal with logistics of moving intermediates around. General approach is similar between games, it's those little differences that shift where the focus of a challenge is placed - Satisfactory pulls you towards getting every little efficiency boost possible, while Factorio puts you against the challenge of scaling up and finding good balance between microoptimizations and raw expansion, self-contained modules and responsibility segregation, efficient fast working factory and efficient fast to build factory.

@@pixelknight163I...don't know what happened. The video made me forget what satisfactory meant/was. I guess I was thinking it had some other meaning that I hadn't heard before. "The feeling of satisfactory" or something because of the title of the game.

Satisfactory : You wanna *suffer trying to create this increasingly complex factory that will never end, only leaving you to wallow in pain as you scatter your notes of designs and all the calculations you spent hundreds of hours of your life working on?* Me : ... Satisfactory : we have coffee Me : gimme

Yay! Modded MC finally getting some love. Still the best logistics game experience out there imo. If only the load times weren't so bad.

OpenTTD is one of my favourites in the genre

"... and other types of evil boxes" You mean like... METAL BAWHKSESS! :-)

Really love the videos you put out really helps me grasp things I missed in games due to personal hurdles. Good luck and stay safe out there.

It's the best bundle you'll probably get this year. So many great games. I think it's on 1500+ items at the moment. All for as little as $5.

You should play the game mindustry, it is eerily similar to factorio, but has more of an arcade feel to it.

I think the most important way in which satisfactory beats out factorio is being 3D. In satisfactory, if you want to change a bad part of your factory, you can build a roof over it, make the new factory, and redirect a few belts. in factorio, if you want to change or expand something, that part of the factory has already been completely surrounded and you can't do anything without expanding excessively at which point enemies start destroying your stuff. that's when i stopped playing

That the fun of factorio if it didn’t have that it would not be as fun because you have unlimited space in one small area

That is important difference, but I don't think it makes either game better. Satisfactory lets you freely build upwards if you need to scale up without rebuilding half of what you constructed already, meanwhile Factorio turns space and distance into part of the challenge, which sounds fun due to the map being effectively infinite in size. Planning for expansion and eventual rebuilding parts of your factory is part of the game loop in Factorio, and non-issue in Satisfactory; depending on whether you like this kind of challenge you'll like one or the other more.

I like the way that factorio does the information because it does give the efficiency and the amount of power and crafting time

3:11 does he not know the miners can go strait into smelters

"fact oreo" made me laugh for some reason.

The editing in this is so smooth. The transition at 11:50 gave me goosebumps. Well done!

I was playing Satisfactory while watching this video and your sound effect in the end of the power tripping scared the EFF out of me.

Already loving the video minutes in! Brilliant!

I like big brain games but at the same time I'm a big small brain. "Need more metal? Im going to waste all my other metal to get this one metal faster!"

Dude, thanks so much for the "players will optimise the fun out of a game" quote. It really made me re-think stuff and do what was most fun, or challenging, rather than effiecient. Like in subnautica, for example, I no longer us the thermoblade as i consider it boring. It causes me to have to prepare more and think about what i am doing (or, i guess, shove my inventory full of food and water, but then i can't carry as much)

There is a lot of valuable knowledge in this compendium of videos you have created! I hope to see these theories and technical know how, be put to the test and used more in the upcoming era of game creation.

Of course Josh would take a game intended to utilize machinery as cleanly and efficiently as possible and turn it into a low frame-rate mess of conveyor belt tornados and hyper tube cannons!

Commented specifically to point out that you missed the chance to title the video "How Satisfactory Makes Work....Satisfactory"

In Cookie Run Kingdom, one of the things to do in the game that gives me the most satisfaction is redecorating my base. There’s nothing quite like the feeling of looking at your base after all the hard work you spent rearranging it, seeing all the characters you’ve collected walking around and living among it, and thinking “wow, I made something really cool.” I always love it when games give you those kinds of customization options. Whenever I work on a creative project, I not only have to put the pieces together to make the thing, but I have to build those pieces in the first place myself, which can be really stressful. But in games, most of the time, the building blocks are pre-made, and you get to put them together however you want. Those types of stress-free creative experiences are really therapeutic for me, and I applaud any game that pulls it off well

Honestly, I absolutely adore this content. Seeing a video that makes the shoutout to my OG optimization game of modded minecraft made me smile. Glad to know that this is still a growing genre that people enjoy :D

nobody: Adam Millard: in factorio...

4:37 I'm still no fan of the heavy manual labor required in satisfactory. While factorio takes you away from extending your factory to *increase* your power production, satisfactory takes you away from doing anything to keep your power production going. True, that changes with coal power. But I think it is not only in power production. Almost anything in factorio can be automated from unlocking it, while the machine to produce a new item in satisfactory almost always requires that item to be built. In a multiplayer game, we got to a point within 5 hours where I'm not in 20 hours, just because we minions manually crafted all the items for the next unlock. So my point is: In a game, where the focus lies on automation, the great demand of manual labor especially in an interruptive way, feels like simply stretching play time.

Clever mr. Adam showing footage of A Short Hike whilst talking about the world on fire outside so it soothes my soul

This video is 2 years old and still amazing!

Adam: "My hours in these games number in the hundred." Me: "Those are rookie numbers."

It sure is satisfactory! I went from hand crafting , pressing and holding a button for alot of time, to automating resource production. FEELS FOKING GOOOOD

Just gotta say bruv, you're awesome! Love the work, love the humor, love the compassion, love this channel!

Totally saw that Opus Magnum mention coming. A game I played because you mentioned it in the first place. Also, I literally had to look up Factorio on Steam because I couldn't believe it's still in early access. Someday, I'll have to dive into either that game or Satisfactory.

Between all of the mentioned games, particularly modded Minecraft and Factorio, I probably have around 10000 hours in this genre. I love these games

i just like seeing numbers get bigger. it's why i go back to play universal paperclips from time to time to see exponential growth in action.

I'd consider oxygen not included in here as well, even though there's a survival element. It was really good at slowly introducing systems while also slowly ramping up your needs. The biggest difference between it and other logistics games is the fact that a lot of those things you manage need to be managed before they kill your whole colony.

16 minute video that can be summed up in one phrase. Sense of achievement. With that said, the video is excellent.

When I started my first game of satisfactory I had a perfect setup, two nearby pure iron deposits, 2 nearby normal iron deposits, one nearby pure copper deposit, a normal limestone deposit, and a pure coal deposit on top of a cliff. Once I got the coal for the generators there was nearby water but only room for one extractor so I had to create a system where I would lose power and then wait to store water in a bunch of tanks and then start it back up once full. This went on for a while until I finally found a river to put a bunch of extractors.

It's impossible to describe how much I love this guy's voice and the way he talks. These videos are perfect to watch when you have nothing to do :D

a little detail I like about factorio and satisfactory is that there's no losses when tearing things down. You always get 100% of the materials back (except liquids and fuel inside) So you never really feel pressured to keep a design that isn't efficient, as you can easily tear it down and rebuild it for free

when you played the EMP/power outage noise from Offworld, my brain immediately thought of "pirates, I hate those filthy bandits"

Wonderful transition at 11:50!

Talking about optimization, Satisfactory is so fricking good optimized in term of performance !! This allow you to put any amount of stuff without having to think about performance problem or else and that awesome !

If anyone is looking for a simpler sort of game that gives you logistics challenges, particularly in the sense of getting resources from where they're gathered to where you actually need them, I would highly suggest the game Kingdoms and Castles.

This video is beautiful. The rhetoric is spot on and I can tell a lot of time went into making the clips relevant to what you are talking about. I know those two things alone dont sound like much but there are so many that dont put in the effort. Good stuff man.

I also love incremental games like Factory Idle, Kittens Game, and Evolve Idle for trying optimize a setup or properly allocate resources. This is obviously evident in Factory Idle, but the others have you chosing between what jobs to allocate your citizens and balancing input and output of certain resources.

14:15 I was playing Satisfactory while watching, and this scared the hell out of me

Fantastic video, quality as always. I haven't put work into any management game more complicated than Cookie Clicker tbh

Here's one of these you might like. Mindustry is a Tower Defense factory game. It's cool.

Every time I watch one of you videos my wishlist for games grows.

In Slime Rancher's defense, using Largo slimes is pretty dangerous considering they can hop out more easily, and they can turn into farm-destroying Tar if left unchecked.

This my second time watching one of your vids and you make good vids. Ima subscribe

one of the best game analisys you've ever done. :)

I've come to this video to say that when you first uploaded this you introduced me to zachtronic games, and man, I fucking love/hate them, been into Shenzhen I/O lately and is so obtuse, it literally gives you a 40 page manual and tells you "go ahead, play"

Satisfactory is sooo good. I only have played on one world so far, a year ago, and currently waiting for my friends and myself to have the time again, but it looks so good.

Soren's quote is generally applicable to many game genres, but on some games the fun or satisfaction is DERIVED from optimization. Then your optimizing the fun INTO your game.

Regarding optimzing everything in such games: I wrote a programm for factorio in which i can give it information about what i want to produce and in which quantity per minute. it tells me each dependency (how many items are required, how many producers, etc) for every item in the perfect ratio. And I must say it works like a charm

I've already picked up the itch.io bundle, even though I am looking for work and surviving on loans from family--some things are *always* worth supporting. Thanks for a GREAT video (I've been wanting to check out some of these games for a while, and now I have more reason to and a few more options to consider) and for taking a moment to use your platform to share an important message.

I just remembered and wanted to add: Satisfactory has what might be the best trailers I have ever watched. The music is so compelling, and the video aligns so well to the music that the whole is nigh-irresistible. I can't remember the last time I willingly watched a trailer more than once, but I watched these again when a few weeks had gone by and I had somehow forgotten what the game was. I kinda want to go watch them again right now.

I love these games. Me and my roommate have stayed up way too late so many nights just building massive factory's that cover huge swathes of the map, and are as efficient as we can make it. There's just something so fun about arguing with someone about the proper math for the ratios for making super computers in Satisfactory. Or debating the best setup for the main bus in Factorio without cutting off the oil or train lines. God I love these games.

Factorio tip: you can put a furnace directly next to the drills for auto input, although it's only usefull at the beginning :P
