I haven't even started with satisfactory 1.0, I'm still behind on DSP the dark swarm update. Factorio coming out soon and I'm eyeing Alan Wake 2 that's on a sale right now, while I just recently bought the DLC for Against the Storm that I only played for a few hours.
Yeah I played so much pre 1.0 but never really got around to it after release. I knew how much I would be addicted if I really got into it again so I never really got around to it. I really need to get some time to try the base game as released before doing this expansion. But man, I really want to.
Have the whole week off from work just to play this. 2.8k hours, with many more thousands of hours to come! The Factory Must Grow! The Spaceship Must Grow!
I have a group of 4 other friends that'll be joining me, much less experienced, but enthusiastic group.
I've personally kept myself in the dark for designing factory layouts as i havent watched any videos of space age yet, and don't know any recipies. I wanna cherish the experience of playing my favorite game for the first time again struggling through all the stages.
But speaking of sketching... Ive done literal sketches before during my free time at work of nuclear setups when i was first getting into those about 4 years ago. (yes i mainly did only solar for a loooong time) And doing some spaghetti belt puzzles bc i was bored :p
