I recently finished my second Satisfactory play through.

On my first play though I spent a lot more time redoing things, reorganizing, and rebuilding. Also a lot of time trying to work my way out of corners I had painted myself into.

On my second play through there was still some of that, but far less. Mostly it was planning, building much bigger, and decorating.

For anyone considering a second play through i'd recommend it. I felt like I got a lot more out of the game the second time.

I played it vanilla on the 2nd play through too. I only added a couple mods at the end to help me hide the UI and fly around to make the video.

I didn't mind re-collecting drives, sloops, and spheres again. On my first play through I was sort of rushed and disorganized about it & stayed mostly just in the south and west zones zones. This time I was everywhere, so it was nice to see more of the world.

I didn't get all the alts but I got a lot more on my 2nd play through and came to appreciate what a big difference some of them make. Cast Iron Screws was big.

Did you get more into drones and trains the second time? That was a big difference for me. From 6 trains on the first play through to 29 on the second. Trying to make all the rail lines look OK was sort of tedious... But the second world looks a lot more "alive" with all those trains barrelling through it.
