Building factories in Satisfactory Satisfactory Guide And Tips

Satisfactory is a game in which your main goal is to build factories. How to build and optimize such installations? You can use two simple methods that are at your disposal. Thanks to them, you'll have an easier time expanding your base and you'll organize your production lines better.

Building in mesh mode helps you maintain order in your base.

You can build objects in mesh mode, available by pressing CTRL. This option allows you to build various buildings more easily and effectively. When you hold the button, the game will attempt to place the objects so that they match other buildings nearby. You'll also see blue lines - this way, the game shows how to connect the building with other buildings using conveyor belts, or simply shows a location parallel to other buildings. Building new objects in a cramped factory is not easy, but thanks to this option, you'll do it better, easier, and save a lot of time.

Foundations enable you to build objects with more precision.

Other option involves using various objects in the Foundations tab in the building menu. After unlocking the initial upgrades in the HUB, you have access to a few types of surfaces and ramps, as well as walls in various variants. It is recommended to use these elements, as they can help you plan your growth beforehand. Every structure that you want to place on foundations, will automatically fit the mesh of the floor, without having to use CTRL button.

Foundations will enable you to create simple constructions that will increase the effectiveness of your factory and use less space.

Moreover, using foundations will allow you to create buildings on top of buildings which save space and use it more effectively. This is especially useful on maps with varied geography that contain a lot of obstacles. A factory build in a smaller area will be easy to manage - you'll be able to introduce changes or build something quickly. The final advantage is the ability to build stairs or pathways that can only be created on foundations. Thanks to that, you'll have an easier time moving around the factory. In the later stage of the game, using foundations will be key to growth of your base. Thanks to that, you will be able to move swiftly in the factory.

Building a factory is a big challenge, which is both effective and attractive.

In the later stage of the game, the use of foundations will be crucial for the smooth development of your base. More and more buildings will not allow you to build where you simply would like to. Convenient terrain will soon start to end, so you have to take advantage of the option to build a factory. Over time, you'll have to build really complicated and long production lines, and the use of foundations, walls and floors can only make this task easier.
