What to consider
Summarized by AISatisfactory fans want to build big automated bases on an open world, alone or with friends. The five picks spread across it: FOUNDRY is the nearest factory builder, while Raft, Grounded, Subsistence and Valheim bring building into survival, from oceans and backyards to Norse lands.
The closest match for the factory builder side. You land on an unexplored planet and design a giant automated production facility, in a procedurally generated, infinite voxel world, with an AI companion named Carl and interplanetary trade to sell goods.
Standout features
- Infinite voxel world
- Automated robot production
- Interplanetary trade networks
Building turns practical and tiny. You wake alone on a raft with a plastic hook and gather debris to survive, expand the raft and sail toward dangerous islands, on your own or with friends. The goal is survival and adventure across a perilous sea, so you build to stay alive, not to automate.
Standout features
- Expandable raft
- Gather floating debris
- Island exploration
The crafting and base-building continue, shrunk to ant size. You explore, build and survive together in first person, among hordes of giant insects in the backyard, and there is a mystery to work through. Building here protects you from bugs and the hostile yard, rather than feeding a production line.
Standout features
- Ant-sized backyard
- First-person survival
- Giant insect dangers
A slower, harsher survival build. You live through changing seasons while you set up a base, advance your technology and gear, farm crops and fish, and defend yourself against wildlife and AI hunters who also build bases. It runs solo or co-op.
Standout features
- Changing seasons
- AI hunters build bases
- Farming and fishing
Building and exploring in a shared world, with Norse mythology in place of machines. One to ten players craft weapons, raise elaborate halls and slay mighty foes across a procedurally generated world with different biomes. The building carries over from Satisfactory, with fighting added to the mix.
Standout features
- One to ten players
- Norse mythology world
- Distinct biomes
