This is a complete beginner’s walkthrough of the opening of Satisfactory, broken into short guides you can follow in order. It runs from landing on the planet through completing the Space Elevator’s first phase, where the early game opens up into the full tech tree. Everything is current to the 1.2 update.
The Guides
- Part 1: Starting Out – Landing to Your First Iron. Picking a starting area, the opening objectives, and hand-mining your first Iron Ore.
Follow them in order for a full run, or jump to the part you’re stuck on. By the end you’ll have gone from hand-mining your first Iron Ore to a factory that runs itself.
