Basic gameplay
Satisfactory is a game about automation and efficiency, building and upgrading your factory to produce the resources needed to progress through Milestones, culminating in a fully-upgraded Space Elevator. As you complete each tier, the requirements for the next tier become increasing complex and time-consuming to make, so you must upgrade your factory to produce them automatically and efficiently.

The game starts in the establishing stage, as you land on the planet with only basic tools for harvesting and parts to build the The HUB. ADA will guide you through most of the early learning process, directing you to an Iron Ore deposit with your scanner (default ), and encouraging you to build the HUB there. You will then be presented with milestones. Pay attention to the rewards the early ones give, and start building automation machines as soon as they become available.

In the development stage more advanced recipes and buildings will become available, including the space elevator. Upgrading the space elevator will makes new milestones available, which unlock equipment that can in turn be used to help upgrade the space elevator.
