Watched the Starfield gameplay, when Todd Howard pulled out his space laser to mine iron ore it was like my soul left my body and i watched the rest of the trailer in a dissociative state.

I like Minecraft. It's a good time. I also really like Satisfactory. But every single other game that has resource mining would be better off without it. It's like hacking and lockpicking minigames, the only thing it can possibly offer to the player is a minute of annoyance - but with mining it's often hours of annoyance.

    The reason i give Satisfactory a pass is that, once you get through the first couple steps and get your automated miners going (which takes about an hour the first time, then fifteen minutes once you know what you're doing), you never actually have to mine ever again. It just becomes about building a factory to get parts, then building an extension to that factory to get more advanced parts, and so on, and so on...
