The Absurd Physics of Satisfactory

Background Knowledge

Satisfactory! A game created by Coffee Stain Studios. It is a 3D first-person, open-world, factory and exploration game on an alien planet named MASSAGE-2(A-B)b.

The planet is filled with natural resources waiting to be exploited optimized, and as an engineer of FICSIT, you are tasked in utilizing these resources as efficiently as possible.

Whether it be deforestation to make way for new factories, mining and processing uranium for power, or combining sulfur and coal for explosives, the world is your oyster.

Initial Conditions and Observations

Standing at about 2 meters tall, the engineer has a lot interesting characteristics that will be explored through out this website.

However, whether it be by design or by virtue of being on an alien planet, the real-world laws of physics seemingly hold different on this world net as compared to our own.

I want to preface, however, this game is likely not intended to be realistic (as there are infinite resources) but I chose this out of having a lot of fun playing this game and being curious of the parameters of the game without having to deep-dive into the code.
