Hey! Nice game, I Will buy it after work!! Congrats! Now, some question about steam: How they fix the price based on each country (here I can see the price at u$ 3.5). how is the deal with them?, that is the price for all the countries or you fix a global price and they make the cut? I'm asking because I'm moving to USA and I'm staking games here in Argentina because the prices are, sometimes, 10 times cheaper.
3.50 USD?? Luxembourg is 30 bucks :/
Honest question: how much did prison architect and their work inspire you, in terms of solutions to engineering problems?
Honest answer: I have never played Prison architect. Do you see any similarities?
It does make me wonder...internally, how do trucks decide which deliveries to make? Is there a list of deliveries that need to be made and they just pick the top one based on priority, or does their location get factored in at all?
IT looks really fun!
;-)
Reminds me a little bit of Ostriv game: https://store.steampowered.com
Although I'm really impressed by your work (I know what it is to spend so many years on a "side" project), I can't help but feel that in this day and age of global climate/environmental crisis, making the apology of "10000 tons of diplomacy", "resource consumption" and overall expansion at any price is a bit, well, unfortunate. I think nowadays indie games are strong enough to carry a message....
I found it funny.

Certainly, but not every game has to carry a message. Sometimes people just want to have fun without a game being preachy.
If you want a game that carries a message about climate change, I suggest Fate of the World [0]. Its message is about as subtle as a jackhammer.

Hey! I have a bug report, related to downloading via Steam. I just purchased the game, but it won't finish downloading. It says "Missing downloaded files". I have retried multiple times. My drives are not full. Here's a screenshot: https://thatsne.at/file/buipxq.png The game looks great by the way. Really good promotional material! My friends and I can't wait to try it.
In Steam's Download options, there's a button to clear your download cache. Have you tried that? It usually fixes download issues.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
As far as I know, you get no support usually, when you run it with proton/wine. I'm not interested in paying full price and then having the risk all myself. Of course there is the return before two hours thing, but then I also don't wanna create all that hassle. But if a developer makes some guarantees about proton support, that'd be something else, actually.
Takes me longer than 2 hours just to download it :(

Among the design decisions that Satisfactory made meaningless by poor balance, Weapons is solidly middling. It would make sense if you had to clear areas of enemies to unlock the ability to build on them, and/or if higher-tier weapons were required to defeat higher-tier enemies (the kittens). As it stands now, it's such a non-mechanic - You get Xeno Basher and are more or less set until enemies are made completely me…
Factorio seems to have a similar issue with its OP Flame Turrets available in early-mid game already... but perhaps it's even worse in Satisfactory ?

It's less a question of balance and more a question of whether the feature actually properly fits the rest of the game. Factorio is designed around the attack waves being a motivator to get better tech quickly - you want to bee-line flame turrets and develop the tech to get self-refilling turrets and self-repairing walls... In satisfactory the enemies only exist to gate off certain map areas and they do that very poo…
