Quickstart
How to actually play this with friends — written by Claude.## Set it up - Install via Steam; host a co-op session from the main menu, or spin up a dedicated server if your group logs on at different times - Grab the Satisfactory Mod Manager from ficsit.app if you want mods — vanilla already supports the full 4-player cap, so it's optional, not required - Agree on a starting biome together before committing; relocating a sprawling factory later is a genuine group-chat catastrophe
## Your first session - Build a basic starter base and get Tier 1 automated — iron plates and rods first, don't chase advanced tiers before the fundamentals are running - Split roles naturally: someone scouts resource nodes, someone plans belt layouts, someone handles power once generators come online - Don't over-engineer the first factory. A messy line that actually runs beats a "perfect" blueprint nobody finishes
## Group size advice - Four is the full design — enough hands to split scouting, building, and power without anyone standing around - Two works great for a slower, more deliberate build; solo is genuinely relaxing if that's the vibe you want - The factory scales with more players, so bigger groups just mean a bigger, sillier sprawl across the map
