Most reviews think that Satisfactory is a game about building factories and automation, and that is true. However, this game is really about personal achievement. It's in the same idea as beating bosses in Elden Ring. This game becomes challenging when you get to the higher tiers. You really have to start thinking, and planning as you go. To this end, when you do finally complete a complicated production chain and turn it on fir the first time and you see it working end-to-end, there are few feelings in gaming more thoroughly...satisfying. The first time you get coal power, the first time you get Heavy Modular Frames, etc, are so memorable. I still remember my first coal power setup from 2020 and how ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ it was, but I was thrilled to see my hard work and planning paid off.

That is what Satisfactory offers you. It gives you the tools and environment for you to realize that you are smarter than you think, and that you are capable of implementing something properly pretty complicated.
