'''''Satisfactory''''' is a [[w:simulation game]] created by [[w:Coffee Stain Studios]]. It is a [[w:Video game graphics#3D|3D]] [[w:first-person (gaming)|first-person]] [[w:open world]] exploration and factory building game. As an engineer, the player is dropped onto an alien planet with a handful of tools and must harvest the planet's natural resources to construct increasingly complex factories for automating all resource needs. The initial goal is to build the [[w:Space Elevator]] and begin supplying the company the player works for (Ficsit) with increasingly numerous and complex components for their unknown purposes.

Initially, most of this construction will be by hand with the player traversing to resources directly to collect them, then to stations to make the gear. However, as the player unlocks new equipment, many of these processes can be automated by the introduction of power systems, including [[w:Nuclear power plant|nuclear power plants]], and through automated resource collection automation and transport like [[w:conveyor belts]]. The ultimate goal of the game is to build enough parts to construct a [[w:space elevator]] as to return to space. Along the way, besides building the automation to build these parts, they must also survive the hazards of the planet they are on, including the flora and fauna associated with it. Various weapons and defensive elements can be constructed alongside the other equipment.
