Satisfactory 1.0 best PC settings – Destructoid
The best PC settings are the ones that will rock a good balance between FPS and quality. For an open-world game like Satisfactory, it becomes even more important as the possibilities of building and expanding your factories are endless, and that can require a lot of resources.
Thanks to a generous set of system requirements from Coffee Stain Studios, you can easily achieve that balance even on a bit dated hardware. So, here are some of the best quality and performance settings for Satisfactory 1.0.
