What's your favorite way of playing multiplayer?

I started a server with some friends and I pretty quickly realized I’d prefer to have my own spaghetti than work on someone else’s, so I ran off. Do you prefer working closely with people or do you have more fun making factories in far-off lands?

It almost sounds like I’m defeating the purpose of multiplayer, but there’s a whole map we can build on! And I’m sure my friends appreciate when I send them truckloads of plastic and rubber from the coast while they were working on space elevator stuff in the fields.

Depends on the project really. Sometimes working together is better, sometimes working solo for a common goal is better. Really depends.

I've done several now with friends. I keep having one friend we play with regularly, but there have been a few that have spun off. Satisfactory is a... really weird game to multiplayer with.

For the most part my buddy and I split and do separate factories, with a big todo pile that we can pull from, but sometimes we'll pair up and do something together. We do have a set of unspoken rules that I wrote down here somewhere in this community...

I know you would drive me bonkers lol, one of them is "Organized, no spaghetti, and no clipping"

I like those rules, I might ask my friends to adopt them cuz I do prefer everything to be nice and organized.
