Do you use as many conveyor belts as Josh does in Satisfactory?
Comment on Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how?

I love factory games. I have over a thousand hours in Factorio.
I’ve almost entirely avoided trains. I just build conveyer belts everywhere. Huge long world-spanning conveyer belts. I just dont like having to think about trains, when conveyer belts are so simple to use.

I haven’t gotten to trains yet in satisfactory (I’m desperately trying to get some friends to play with, because I have a tough time on singleplayer modes of these types of tasks), but my conveyor belts can be seen from space, I’m sure.

Dont sleep on trucks! You can record a route you drive, and set it to repeat. They do need coal as fuel, but you can set up a truck station as a fueling station and have your trucks stop by on their route.
I usually recommends belts for short range, trucks for medium to long, and then trains are for crossing the map to other regions. Trains take some planning though. Its best to have two tracks running parallel with each going one direction only, or else you run into problems when you have more than one train.
All that said, you can finish the game with just belts. The first time I finished thr game I only went from the southern grass fields, east to the oil lake, and slightly north to the autumn looking area with aluminum.

I literally spent like 12 hours this week figuring out how to do trains in factorio. Good times.

Not enough throughput? well, that’s what upgraded belts are for. Still not enough? that’s what extra belts are for. Still not enough? see previous comment.
