So yes, it is another factory game, and yes, Zac had to check it out. But he decided to bring Rob along to look at the belts prior to the early access launch of Satisfactory. Skip to 49:50 to see Zac’s full operation.
Satisfactory
Satisfactory is an FPS open-world factory building sim. You play as an engineer on an alien planet tasked to complete ‘Project Assembly’ - a massive machine for a mysterious purpose. Conquer nature, build multi-story factories, and automate to satisfaction!
Zeg is getting all the factory he wants this winter. Satisfactory is the second. It's time to start fresh and get onboarded.
After a few hours of off-video building, Zeg is back and ready for the next big steps. These include: A Space Elevator, Coal Power, Sinking Caterium, and Gunpowder. Also just a little bit of bug wrangling.
How many hours did it take for human civilization to get from coal to oil? Well, it took Zeg less than that at least. It's time to start pumping in Satisfactory.
Your whole life is just a trailer for someone else's movie, or at least a part of The Game Awards. That thing is so long we'll all be in it soon.

Somehow we didn't talk about Splatton 3's Grand Festival. Rob is sorry for the omission and will submit to punitive gunging just like you would see on a 90's TV show. What happened to gunge? #BringBackGunge
What we did talk about is the PS5 Pro, a wild new Like A Dragon game announcement, Satisfactory going 1.0, Kunitsu-Gami, Time Crisis: Project Titan and a bunch of other stuff... but no Splatoon.
In this podcast:
Zac and Rob have caught 2023's "brutal cold". Unfortunately there's no umlaut on that so I regret to inform you that Jack Black is not a guest on this episode. Zac does talk about his new PC though, Rob finds his inner moth man with Cocoon and Dan is still full of Wonder.
In this podcast:
Just because it's episode 343 doesn't automatically mean we talk about Halo. They don't return our calls anyway. It's making me feel guilty but I have no idea what sparked it.
In this episode, we try to understand why the UK is blocking the Activision/Blizzard sale, Zelda hype and the important topic of educating the youth on videogames. There's also Hot Wheels Unleashed, Oxygen Not Included and more Ni No Kuni.

2021 has been a weird year for games and for how the Happysalad crew played them. As a result we're making the Game of the Year stuff less of a thing. This way we can talk about Halo Infinite some more and with only mild spoilers.
In this podcast:
In this episode we pick out the bits that interested us from The Game Awards whilst juggling cats and bad throats. Rob wraps up Backbone, flies away in Exo One and Zac adds some DLC to the usual Oxygen Not Included segment. Oh and a little thing called Halo came out so we checked that out too.
In this podcast:
Statistically, from a sample size of this podcast, 2 out of 3 factory games have the word "factory" in the title. You may also know that there are other genres that exist. This week we include the "shoot stuff", "drive stuff", "hit stuff", "think stuff" and "read stuff" varieties.
Genre learnings coutesy of the Saladcast.

In this podcast:
I'm spending my time thinking about alternative doomsday theories. If cats cast aside their differences with the pigeons, their web of information could bring down governments. They know what they're doing and I'm onto them.
