SATISFACTORY Update 8 - A PERFECT START! - Let's Play Ep.1

This is a great guide for new players. All the right info and good habits to get in to early (including my mandatory hologram colour adjustments. The defaults are a bit of an eyesore for my tastes). And even after 800+ hours I can still learn a few new things. Never thought of trying to send multiple Milestones at once. :) I've been looking for some good Update 8 videos to see how the new Engine is performing. I'll be sticking with this series. Thanks!

Love the minecraft song playing in the background

I'm glad to see you regaining your viewers back with this new series. It shapes to be a great one to follow along. Thinking about trying the new update to see what it has in store as soon as it comes out of experimental

Thanks for sharing - very fun to watch. Appreciate your 'teaching' style. Tempted to pick this up.

I'm loving the mini timelapses to speed up movement

Dang they really changed it. Used to have to mine everything by hand for a couple days and make things to get blueprints.
And the animals would just kill you. Food is damn near non existent ...

Gotta love that minecraft music in the background

Very easy to follow, thank you for uploading

I am not sure what I am doing wrong, but the place a splitter/merger directly on a belt (using CTRL to line up) doesnt work. I have to delete the belt and draw it again.

Ah, if only Satisfactory were like Empyrion or Space Engineers. Randomly generated huge world, destructible surface. How many cool things could be created?

It's me or there's the Minecraft music in background?

If you press Spacebar 3 times while crafting by your own (fast), it will autocraft!

I had no idea you could build splitters right on the belt like that. Literally starting a new game because of this alone lol. To be fair your last video sold me the game so i have only about 6 hours on the game.

I wish they add more peaceful creatures like sheep, cattle, flying mounts etc..

the minecraft music works well

perfect

it took me an embarrassing amount of time to realize it has minecraft music in the background lol

im so glad to see this series come back

Im still stuck on wait....waiting for stable release so i can run easy with SMR xD

i hope i dont regret starting this series and being sad cuz i have to wait for episodes

I really enjoyed following along. Thanks for helping me get back into this game

Did Anyone else notice the subtle Minecraft music in the background or am I just hearing things?

i love the fact that you playing satisfactory and have minecraft music in the background

awesome video

Nice introduction and the sneaky MC music put into the background.

hey man I've been trying to play this game since I saw this is there some bug going around that crashes the game when you try to make a new save?

bro has minecraft background music and i love it <3

I started this game twice and stopped playing after 2 hours. It should be a game for me but Im having a hard time getting into it.

Also, show beginners the power of the N key.

Awesome format for beginners. My two cents (haven't seen the next episode yet):

You can do math in the machine settings and you can set the output as well. Instead of filling out 66.666666, you can just enter 2/3*100 or 200/3. Or even what you have over what the machine needs: 30/45. Or you can set 10 as output. All the same.

When you are missing a power pole: instead of selecting power connection, select power pole and aim and click at an existing cable. Then, put down the pole down. It will insert itself in the existing connection.

I love the minecraft soundtrack in the background 😂

Orientated. My favorite new word that's not a word. Orient/oriented.

I love this

Thank you Darren, I was contemplating starting my own channel in gaming. Thanks to you i feel i can. (Dont' worry. I won't be a competition since i'll be doing it in my native language.)

Amazing video!!! very well explained!! Thank you!!!

Great beginner guide Darren! I am about to jump in to Satisfactory, and I can see that this will be super helpful! The whole video was super good! Liked. Subscribed. Looking forward to the next episode!

Darren - glad to see a new satisfactory series beginning. Thanks for the content!

Does it matter I still run on update 7 btw? Do i need to have update 8 so I can follow you?

Is Update 8 out of the experimental branch?

I was already expecting the 2nd episode! Please keep the series episodes coming. Looking foreward to it.

I am loving the deep dive! You've really grown as a Satisfactory player!

I have taken maps to high tier, but eventually it's always spaghetti. I am starting again and working along with these videos. I learned a lot. Underclocking. Who knew that helps stabilize the power grid? can't wait for future ep.

Is it today the new episode comes out?

Would somebody please tell me if that is the new update. To make use of the pasta. or if that is just the version rn

anyone else hear minecraft music?
