Reinforced Iron Plate is the first item you encounter in Satisfactory, requiring two items to make it. This means, unlike the Iron Plates, Iron Rods, and Screws that you were producing for the prior milestones via Constructor, you need the Assembler for the first time to automate its production.

Reinforced Iron Plates are needed to build machines like Constructors and Assemblers, but they’ll be used most for Mk.2 Conveyor Belts. So, the way to go is to automate their production as soon as possible.

Alternate recipes in Satisfactory are your rewards for exploring the world and researching hard drives collected from crash-landing sites. As their name implies, they give you alternate ways of manufacturing a product, which can potentially make your production line a lot easier to design.

While many Satisfactory players may value resource and power efficiency above all else, talented nerds in the Satisfactory community have already made alternate recipe tier lists by crunching those raw numbers. Our picks, on the other hand, prioritize convenience. So, with this, you’ll be better served in your progression through the tiers without having to make mile-long infrastructure to transport resources across the map.

Arachnophobia is no joke, so when Satisfactory fires a whole horde of Stingers after you, it’s understandable that you might feel the urge to exit the game immediately and never go back. Thankfully for players, there’s a dedicated Arachnophobia Mode to alleviate your concerns and make the experience more user-friendly.

By activating the “Arachnophobia Mode” option, you’ll be replacing the Stinger models with three sprites of different cat breeds, each one corresponding to a Stinger variant. an orange cat represents Baby Stingers, a black cat representing Alpha Stingers, and “lying black cats” represent Elite Gas Stingers.

Power and energy are the building blocks of Satisfactory. You can’t progress to bigger and better tools and resources if you don’t have enough power to run your factory. But what are the best sources of power in the game? Let’s find out.

The full release of Satisfactory has been greeted with tons of positive reactions from existing players as well as new ones, with developer Coffee Stain Studios adding several new features and improving older ones. While there’s still more to be added to the game, like the use of SAM ore, Satisfactory 1.0 should keep players busy for a fair bit.

Ore mining is one of the most crucial aspects of Satisfactory, as each ore is used to create new machines, tools, and even vehicles. However, one ore strands out from the rest: SAM. So, here’s everything about SAM ore, including how to get it.

Satisfactory recently had its full release on Epic Games and Steam, with tons of new players joining the game and existing ones exploring the latest features added to it. The game continues to reach new player count highs, with the latest all-time peak sitting at more than 186k players. 

Compact coal isn’t a popular resource to generate power in Satisfactory except for its use for Turbofuel, but it can be used as an alternative to regular Coal. We’ll analyze if it’s worth replacing coal with Compacted Coal or if it’s only good for Turbofuel.

How to make Compact Coal in Satisfactory

You first need to unlock it via the Sulfur Research chain in the MAM in Satisfactory. It’s the fourth research item in the chain, and requires one Hard drive, 25 Sulfur, and 25 Coal to unlock. Once you unlock it, you’ll have to put at least five Coal and five Sulfur in the Assembler to get five Compacted Coal.

Satisfactory has several buildings you can use to grow your factory and run its daily functions. Some are used for crafting items, while others assemble resources into essential components. One of these structures is the Power Tower, so here’s everything you need to know about it.

Satisfactory 1.0 adds several new buildings and tools to the game while updating the designs and functions of existing ones. The latest version has also brought in new players, resulting in the game hitting peak player counts. Over 186k players are enjoying the title on Steam alone, with more using the Epic Games version.

Satisfactory just released its long-awaited 1.0 update, porting the game to a new version of the Unreal Engine and adding a ton of new, exciting content for players to try. However, if you’re an avid modder, you might wonder how to mod Satisfactory now.

Here’s everything you need to know.

As you progress in Satisfactory, you’ll gain access to new types of machines, components, and tools to upgrade your factory. Many of these new items have additional crafting requirements, one being a component called Smart Plating.

After five years in early access, Satisfactory is finally at its 1.0 version. With its full release comes loads of new content like the final tier of technology, new tasks, fresh structures, and the opportunity to expand your factory even further. 

Satisfactory has a huge open world with lots of space to build and expand a factory. However, traveling can take up a lot of time due to the scale of the map and resource nodes spawning on opposite ends. Thankfully, a Parachute can solve this issue—among others.

The full release of Satisfactory brought tons of new features to the game while expanding and improving several existing ones. While we still don’t know what SAM ore is used for, the addition of Tier Nine and Alien Technology paved the way for more buildings and structures you can build for your factory, but that also means you’ll need more land to place and maintain them.
