Satisfactory is an open-world, factory-building game that puts players in the shoes of pioneers exploring an alien planet as employees of FICSIT. There's a lot to learn when first stepping foot onto the massive planet and beginner players may be eager to know what to do first in Satisfactory. Indeed, some of the best things to do first can help players progress during those often head-scratching early-game days, whether that's what machines to set up first to get a foothold on automation, or learning the ropes of survival and exploration.
