I have, against better judgement, returned to Satisfactory. Game is good and fun, at least. I feel like I'm a lot better at it then I was when I first played it, most of that is probably me but I also think starting in the rocky desert helped too. It just feels like a much better starting location, and it also helps that the easily accessible crash sites are ones you're likely to actually just stumble accross. I have gotten up to my first (half) coal power plant, which is when the automation game becomes automated. If I have one complaint it's that you should unlock trains sooner, steel is just a pain with how far away coal is from my base, and while you're supposed to just build multiple small local factories rather than just a mega factory (at least for intermediary products) it's still a big hassle to have to bring anything long-distance by conveyer belt.
