Pros, cons, and early resources for each starting area. Pick the best spot for your playstyle.

Grass Fields Starting Location in Satisfactory

Where to Start in Satisfactory

Pick your starting spot: wide open plains for beginners, or rich canyons with pure nodes for experienced players.

Start 1 · Easiest Start

Grass Fields

Wide open fields with plenty of wood and leaves for fuel. Gentle creatures and flat ground make this the best choice for your first game.

Terrain:Open & Flat
Biomass:Abundant
Pure Nodes:Low (Mostly Impure)
Oil Distance:Long (Blue Crater)
Start 2 · Balanced Expansion

Rocky Desert

Flat rocky plateaus right next to water and early coal by the crater lakes. Easy layout with quick access to western oil islands.

Terrain:Flat Plateaus
Water Access:Direct Ocean
Coal Power:Fast (Crater Lakes)
Oil Access:Moderate (Islands)
Start 3 · Pure Node Hotspot

Northern Forest

The fastest start in the game. Tight canyon packed with 4 Pure Iron, 2 Pure Copper, 2 Pure Coal, and 1 Pure Caterium. Best for vertical factories.

Terrain:Steep Canyon
Node Purity:Highest in Game
Space:Tight / Vertical
Key Metals:4 Pure Iron Nodes
Start 4 · Megabase Heaven

Dune Desert

Huge open desert with endless flat space for giant factories and train loops. Plenty of ore nodes, though water and early wood are scarce.

Terrain:Vast Flat Sand
Space:Virtually Unlimited
Biomass:Scarce (Oasis)
Train Grid:Ideal Flat Layout

FAQS & TIPS

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to common questions about resource nodes, drop pods, and map tools.

How many resource nodes are on the Satisfactory map?
The Satisfactory 1.0 map has 608 resource spots: 459 solid ore nodes, 30 oil deposits, 88 resource well outlets, and 31 geysers. All locations are updated and verified for Satisfactory 1.0.
What is the best starting location for a new game?
For beginners, Grass Fields (Start 1) is the easiest due to flat terrain, gentle wildlife, and abundant wood/leaves for early biomass generators. For experienced players who want fast progression, Northern Forest (Start 3) is unbeatable because it concentrates 4 Pure Iron, 2 Pure Copper, 2 Pure Coal, and 1 Pure Caterium node in one compact valley.
How do you open drop pods that need power or crafted parts?
Satisfactory features 118 crashed drop pods. 28 pods open freely with zero cost. 23 pods need direct power lines (between 5 MW and 420 MW); carry 2 portable Biomass Burners and solid biofuel in your pocket to connect and power them on the spot. 67 pods require specific crafted parts such as Rotors, Modular Frames, Motors, Computers, or Quartz Crystals. Click any drop pod on this map to see its exact unlock cost.
What is the highest mining speed possible in Satisfactory?
With a Miner Mk.3 at 250% on a Pure node, the output is 1,200 items per minute. In Satisfactory 1.0, the Conveyor Belt Mk.6 moves 1,200 items/min, so you can transport the full output without bottlenecks.
Where are the 3 secret Boom Box tapes hidden?
The 3 hidden world Boom Box tapes are placed in specific scenic spots: Deep Rock Galactic is found in a subterranean cave southeast of the Grass Fields, Songs of Conquest rests atop a towering rock spire in the Swamp, and Huntdown is tucked onto a cliff ledge overlooking the Spire Coast canyon.
How does the map route distance measurement tool work?
Press the R key or click the route tool on the map. Click to place points along your path. The tool measures distance in meters and kilometers, calculates conveyor travel time, and shows the exact items you need to build the line.
