MOOD Publishing and Coffee Stain Studios announced on July 30, 2026, a new board game based on the factory-building video game Satisfactory. Titled Satisfactory: The Board Game, it is a competitive sandbox for 1 to 4 players who take on the roles of FICSIT Inc. pioneers on the planet MASSAGE-2(A-B)b. Players explore, mine resources, and build production lines to complete the space elevator before rivals, fulfilling the Save the Day Program to save humanity. The game adapts the original's automation and technology progression through projects and milestones that unlock advanced machinery. A crowdfunding campaign is scheduled to begin on Gamefound in September 2026, with a preview page already open for follow registration. MOOD Publishing, based in Copenhagen, Denmark, has previously developed board games based on Deep Rock Galactic, Valheim, and Hitman, and is working in close cooperation with Coffee Stain Studios, the original developer. Pricing, support plans, shipping dates, and the availability of a Japanese version have not been disclosed.
The announcement follows a pattern for MOOD Publishing, which has built a niche adapting popular video games into tabletop experiences. Its previous work includes board games based on Deep Rock Galactic, Valheim, and Hitman, with the first two being published by Coffee Stain Studios. This close relationship likely facilitated the Satisfactory adaptation, which is being developed with direct input from the original studio.
The board game aims to capture the core loop of Satisfactory: exploration, resource extraction, and factory optimization. Players will use conveyor belts and machines to automate production, mirroring the video game's mechanics. The competitive element, racing to complete the space elevator, adds a tabletop-specific twist not present in the original cooperative or solo experience.
While the crowdfunding campaign is set for September, many details remain under wraps. The Gamefound preview page does not list pricing, shipping regions, or a release date. Whether a Japanese version will be produced is also unconfirmed, which may affect availability for international backers.
