Satisfactory

Satisfactory is a first-person factory automation game on an alien planet where players build increasingly complex conveyor belt and production line networks to extract, process, and synthesize resources. Unlike top-down factory games, its first-person perspective makes industrial scale viscerally tangible as production networks stretch across kilometers of terrain. Co-op multiplayer supports up to 4 players building shared factories.
