    blueprint auto connect seems like it could help with slapping down a factory quickly, but probably vertical nudging and vertical splitters will help me out the most

        exactly lol.

        the current campaign is the story mode that was teased and people waited for. the same one that said they were working hard on and kept delaying because they wanted it to be right and fit in with the world.

    My least favourite feature is that the more copies they sell the higher the price seems to go.

    I’ve had it on wishlist for six months and the price has increased since then 🥲

    P. S. Yes I am cheap. And also I’m not really that worried because I think this game might be a massive time sink for me, so they’re kinda protecting me from myself.

        It gets more expensive to work on a more polished product. If you’re only selling like 500 copies for $2 it doesn’t matter if the game is janky as hell and crashes sometimes, but if you’re selling more copies and want to make translations, ensure more compatibility with more hardware, improve performance, etc that takes more time, and more importantly, it usually means paying people. You also start having to worry about having to do more refunds, marketing, etc. Obviously it can be done where people just keep it small, but it’s hard to do especially if the developers quit their day jobs to develop the game. I call this the “Michael Scott Paper Company Problem” where you can end up running out of money while trying to scale up because you are trying to compete on costs at an unsustainable level. Of course, once you get to a large enough scale you can start getting more efficient and can do more to keep your price down, but in this middle range it’s kind of difficult.

      Yep, I exclusively play games with a controller and have wanted to play Satisfactory for years. Started playing yesterday and I’m already hooked. I’ll say that the controller support isn’t perfect, there are a few minor annoyances but nothing that’s bad enough to make me not recommend it.
