Satisfactory players were sharing impressive factory builds long before the automation base-building game's recent 1.0 release. While you can certainly get by in Satisfactory with a haphazard gnarl of conveyor belts and power lines—as I often have—it offers plenty of optional logistic and aesthetic parts to build pristine, professional industrial
facilities. But where others have made expertly-finished manufactories, redditor Calpurnius777 decided to dabble in .
As you'll see in the YouTube video linked above, Calpurnius777 took a break from factory-building and started building cathedrals instead. Calling it impressive work is an understatement. All the component pieces might've been intended for industrial applications, but placed in one of Satisfactory's otherworldly forest groves, the build looks more like something out of Elder Scrolls [[link]] or Nightingale. Calpurnius777 found ways to emulate stained glass, pointed arches, rib vaults—all that's missing is a or two.
On Reddit, reactions range from amazement to [[link]] existential crisis. "What game are we playing again?" One .
"Man, I'm over here making small factories with one tall wall just so I can put a wall connector up for power and this pioneer is over here making a house for Doctor Strange," said . "Just awesome."
Seeing the cathedral build almost makes me wonder what I could accomplish if I fire up yet another new factory. A cathedral might be beyond my talents, but surely I could find a way to cobble some columns and supports into a space pioneer's Parthenon? I'm sure there's enough factory bits to build an adequate colosseum. With enough practice, I might be able to work my way [[link]] up to a Satisfactory Hagia Sophia.
Or I might just stall out again once I hit the point where I'm having to keep track of my conveyor math. It's nice to dream, though.
