An FPS open-world factory building sim. You play as an engineer on an alien planet as part of the 'Save The Day' program - a program whose goal is to construct a massive machine for a mysterious purpose. Conquer nature, build multi-story factories, and automate to satisfaction!

"Probably this year. But who knows, really", according to the FAQ on the official site.

The main new thing seems to be lifts to help build on the z-axis (which they incorrectly call the "y-axis").

CONVEYOR LIFTS

Because you need something to do all the lifting for you.

No more overly complicated, inefficient and messy conveyor belt spirals. Verticality is the new black, so we’ve been working hard on a streamlined, efficient way of transporting goods along the y-axis. They take less space, less effort, and definitely require less overheating from your poor computer.

They also started a blog: https://www.satisfactorygame.com/blog

Dedicated servers are on the roadmamp, but with no ETA: https://www.satisfactorygame.com/#roadmap-section

I'd love to run it on our server. It's been dormant for ages, and this game would be perfect for it.
