A few months ago, I finished Satisfactory, including all the achievements. I really enjoyed the game, and though it felt really good to finally complete it and see everything I had built, I also was sad I would no longer be in the world.

I’m thinking of doing a new run, but I’m daunted by having to get all the collectibles again. In the first run, it was nice to explore the world and take a break from building things, but I’ve really seen the world now, so that’s less appealing.

Curious if there are others who feel similar. I’m wondering if I should just start a new game with all recipes unlocked and give myself all the spheres and sloops up front.

What have others done for a second run?

    The collectibles are one of the biggest icks the game has for me. Controversially, I want my factory building game to be about building a factory, and don’t really care for exploring a mediocre, mostly empty map. The factory building is objectively worse and simpler than Factorio, the blueprint system is a joke, and your tools for doing things differently to “the obvious solution” are so limited that I cannot ever bring myself to finish the game. It’s wild to make a game in an entire extra dimension so much more limited.

      So… Why are you in this community if you don’t like the game? Genuine question. You’re allowed to not like a game, of course, but why comment on a post with a list of irrelevant complaints that nobody was asking or talking about? There’s music and TV shows I don’t like, but if I see a group of people talking about it, I’m not going to insert myself into the conversation to rudely criticize what their likes.

        op is being put off another playthrough by the thought of going through the tedium of the exploration a second time, a complaint being echoed, but go off king, reading comprehension’s for losers

        the same complaints stopping the second playthrough for them stop the first one for myself. irrelevant though.

          You listed like 4 things you dislike about the game, and not in a constructive way (“blueprints are a joke”, “ComTroVerSiaLlY I want my game to be about 🤓”, etc).

          Imagine barging into a restaurant because someone said their drink had too much ice, and ranting about how there’s a shit ton of ice, the staff are morons, the menu is a joke, and the food is mediocre.

              I don’t think we’re gonna get anywhere with this, but I’ll end with saying that it isn’t common for people to interject themselves into in-groups to complain about what the in-group likes, especially in places designated for them to talk about said thing.

              Hope you have a better day.
