Satisfactory Biomes: All regions, resources & best starting location Coffee Stain StudiosThe place you start your journey in Satisfactory 1.0 is crucial for a successful factory, but which starting location is the best on this game\u2019s map, and where can you find all those ores? Other than this open-world factory builder crashing on launch and a Plugin SML error popping up, most Satisfactory players have only had issues with choosing the best starting area or finding a specific ore. Although the game takes place on one large map, there are four starting areas to choose from, each with its pros and cons, especially when you consider the ore nodes surrounding your base. So, here\u2019s the best starting location along with all the game\u2019s biomes and resources. All biomes & resources Starting Biomes Grass Fields (Start 1) Available Resources: Limestone, Coal, Caterium – – Rocky Desert (Start 2) Limestone, Caterium, Iron, Copper, Bauxite, Raw Quartz, – – Northern Forest (Start 3) Limestone, Iron, Copper – – Dune Desert (Start 4) Iron, Copper, Coal, Limestone, Caterium – – All other biomes Southern Forest Copper, Raw Quartz – – Blue Crater Iron, Crude Oil, Sulfur – – Abyss Cliffs Coal, Sulfur – – Swamp Copper, Limestone, Iron, Caterium, Bauxite, S.A.M – – Titan Forest Copper, Limestone, Iron, Bauxite, Raw Quartz – – Maze Canyons Coal, Limestone, Iron – – Desert Canyons Limestone, Iron – – Spire Coast Crude Oil, Caterium, S.A.M – – Crater Lakes Coal – – Red Bamboo Fields Coal, Limestone, Bauxite – – Lake Forest Crude Oil – – Red Jungle Coal, Uranium, Raw Quartz, Bauxite, Limestone – – Eastern Dune Forest Raw Quartz, Limestone, Uranium – – Western Dune Forest Caterium, Limestone, S.A.M – – Snaketree Forest Limestone, Iron – – Jungle Spires Iron, Limestone, Caterium, Sulfur, Bauxite – – Which starting map area should you choose in Satisfactory? There are four areas you can begin your save file in: Grass Fields, Rocky Desert, Northern Forest, and Dune Desert. Overall, the best starting location on Satisfactory 1.0\u2019s map is the Rocky Desert. There\u2019s something to be said about each area, and players will find certain locations useful and others not as worthwhile. We\u2019ll explain why the Rocky Desert is the best, and what the other areas have to offer or why they don\u2019t work. 1. Rocky Desert Even though the Rocky Desert doesn\u2019t sound too appealing, it\u2019s by far the best place to start if you want a successful factory. First off, you get a great amount of open and flat space, which is perfect for building solid and clean foundations to place your machines. Although it seems like there\u2019s a lack of greenery, you still get a ton of flora to make into leaves, which can be used to make Biomass for powering your builds. You also get a great balance of resource types when you\u2019re looking for different versions of Pure Ore Nodes. Essentially, the Rocky Desert will offer you a lot more than you may realize, and you cannot go wrong with it as your first, third, or 10th try at Satisfactory. 2. Grass Fields Any Satisfactory beginner will probably flock to the Grass Fields after seeing the game recommend it to new players. Sure, it\u2019s a nice environment to learn the tutorial, but you won\u2019t get a ton of open, flat areas like the Rocky Desert. There are a decent amount of useful resources nearby such as Iron for Screws, or Copper for Copper Sheets, but it starts to lack when you\u2019re attempting to find rarer types of resources that are more abundant in other locations. Try this one out if you\u2019re fresh to Satisfactory and are going through the tutorial, but I would eventually make a new save to start in the Rocky Desert. 3. Northern Forest The Northern Forest is a place better suited for more experienced players, but that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s a good spot for them. You\u2019ll barely find a flat, open plain in this forest, so you\u2019ll inevitably struggle to find clear space for your factory. Despite there being an abundance of Leaves and Wood to create Biomass, and a diverse array of resources, anyone who likes to build organized factories won\u2019t find many good spots here. You should try this spot out if you\u2019re looking for something new after hours of playing in the previous two areas, but you may quickly fall back to the incredible Rocky Desert after finding no solid space to build. 4. Dune Desert Unfortunately, I wouldn\u2019t recommend starting a new Satisfactory game in the Dune Desert, whether you\u2019re a new or old player. Sure, you\u2019ll find a lot of flat space in the dunes, but you\u2019ll struggle to collect enough resources to survive. This location is very challenging despite the many mining spots available, but you\u2019ll rarely find any flora that you can use to create Biomass. The toughest aspect of this area is keeping the lights on in your factory by feeding your power generators. There\u2019s nothing wrong with a bit of a challenge for veteran players, but you\u2019ve been warned. The Dune Desert can provide a ton of space, but it\u2019s lacking in unique types of resources so you\u2019ll find yourself traveling far and wide for them.
