I’m planning to start a new Satisfactory world with a number of friends and acquaintances of mine, some from different friend groups.

In a game like Minecraft, the world is limitless and people can set their base up anywhere, obtain resources wherever they please and just trying not to impede on others too much. In Satisfactory I worry a bit about competing over the resources or ideal space, or someone decides to take down another person’s hourslong work to make a more efficient factory, etc.

What would be ways that I could fairly share the world with many people? I’d think most of the people would get along and the objective is shared, but I’d want to reduce areas of frustration where possible and would appreciate any advice to that end.

    Thing is that you are kinda dependent on the Hub in the beginning. I find it best to go in voice chat together and just assign tasks to everyone. We had a guy in charge of power, a guy who did factory building, and I did research and exploration. Which is not to say I didn’t do any factory stuff, that was just supplemental to what was already built.

      Thank you, those tips were exactly the kind I was looking for. I’ve done a few runs to aluminum, then nuclear power (roughly the endgame in respective Early Access updates) on my own… I’ve screwed around with a small group of friends to steel beam tier making floating concrete go-kart courses but not much co-ordination needed. My new server will be more serious with letting people build up.

      One more question: Is the current post-release version still as crashy as before in EA, or does it run stably for longer without a crash?

        1.0 has been rock solid for us. The experimental version for 1.1 has been less so. As nice as the new things are, I’d wait until it hits stable.
