Coffee Stain and MOOD Publishing Bring the Hit Factory-Building Video Game to Tabletops
Fans of Satisfactory will soon have a new way to experience the popular factory-building game. Coffee Stain Publishing, Coffee Stain Studios, and MOOD Publishing have announced Satisfactory: The Board Game, a tabletop adaptation of the award-winning video game that will launch its crowdfunding campaign on Gamefound in September 2026.
The announcement was made during the Gamefound Feast event, where the companies unveiled the project and confirmed that additional details, artwork, and game components will be revealed in the coming months.
A Competitive Tabletop Experience Inspired by the Video Game
Designed and produced by Copenhagen-based MOOD Publishing, the board game translates the core mechanics of the original video game into a tabletop format for one to four players.
Like its digital counterpart, Satisfactory: The Board Game challenges players to build efficient production systems while competing to complete the Save the Day Program. Participants take on the role of FICSIT Pioneers, harvesting resources across the planet MASSAGE-2(A-B)b to construct a Space Elevator and earn the title of FICSIT Employee of the Month.
The game combines resource management, strategic planning, and factory optimization in a sandbox-style experience designed for both longtime fans and newcomers to the franchise.
Key Gameplay Features
Explore an Alien World
Players will explore the diverse environments of MASSAGE-2(A-B)b, discovering valuable resources and determining the best locations for building production facilities. Strategic placement of factories plays a central role in maximizing efficiency throughout the game.
Build and Optimize Automated Factories
Automation remains one of the defining features of Satisfactory. Players will construct machines, conveyor belts, and production lines while balancing power generation to keep their factories operating efficiently. As production chains become more complex, careful planning becomes increasingly important.
Unlock New Technologies
Completing objectives and project milestones allows players to unlock advanced technologies that expand production capabilities and improve factory performance. Technological progression mirrors one of the signature gameplay loops from the original video game.
Solo and Multiplayer Modes
The board game supports both solo play and groups of up to four players. Whether competing alone or with friends, participants race to complete their objectives while building the most successful industrial operation.
Developed With the Original Studio
Coffee Stain Studios said the tabletop adaptation is being developed in close collaboration with MOOD Publishing to ensure the experience remains faithful to the original game.
The partnership aims to recreate the atmosphere and strategic gameplay that helped make Satisfactory a standout title in the factory-building genre while adapting its mechanics for tabletop play.
More information, including component designs, artwork, and gameplay details, will be released before the crowdfunding campaign begins later this year.
