It's been a few patches since last, and Update 8 is live on the Experimental Branch, so I started a new save of Satisfactory.
Never managed to get far in previous runs, because I tended to think complicated instead of thinking big, so have a new strategy this time. When I need modular frames, I find a fresh set of iron nodes and dedicate the entire output of those to modular frames. Things are more spread out, but collecting resources is an uncomplicated problem to solve.
So far I'm optimistic - feeling less overwhelmed.
I'm thinking about that too. My rail system is poorly planned. Either I can rip up a ton of spaghetti track or start over. Maybe I should start over.
It's always annoying to restructure, as just tearing stuff down can destroy the infrastructure you need to build the new system.
In Factorio that was a non-problem as I'd just move a bit to the left on the infinite map and make a completely new base, but here I am stuck in place.
I'm not excited to deal with the in-place rebuild problem, so I just start over.
Yea, I was lucky to have a ton of hours in Factorio, so the Rail system is pretty well laid out. Ist still possible to to move and rebuild in Satisfactory, but it's just so much more anoying than Factorio makes it
I've been waiting on Satisfactory until it's out of early access. Should I continue to wait or is it good now?
What is there is fun and stable. It's easy to spend hundreds of hours as it is, so I'd give it a go. :)
Loving the new update - starting a new update 8 run with some friends, been a while! Getting horrendous frame stutter trying to play multiplayer at the moment, but I guess that's the price to pay for running the experimental release.
