  • Satisfactory: Depots Change The Game

    It’s been a month since my last post about Satisfactory, and to be honest I’ve been on a sort-of-break from the game while I wrestle with how to cross the finish line on my current somewhat-botched save. (The nuclear power plant is a mess, but replacing it would mean building a whole second one elsewhere, and the first one took long enough as it is! And that’s not the only problem.)

    I might yet start fresh soon. We’ll see. I’d have liked getting two FICSMAS events in a row out of one save but if I’m going to be miserable the whole time, why bother? But if I start fresh I want to kick that off before month end so I’m ready for presents to start falling out of the sky…

    Anyway: I’m here to talk about the Dimensional Depot and how its ability to make all sorts of materials available anywhere in the map changed one of my long-held snobby opinions about alternate recipes.

    I have my coworkers to thank for this one, as it turns out.
