I have some downtime between jobs and I was wondering which of these two games you would all recommend if I only had time for one?

Never played DSP but I've got a lot of hours into Satisfactory. The only issue I've had with it is that it's not procedurally generated. There's a few maps and they're always the same every time.

However it's a long game. Even knowing where everything is it'll still take hundreds of hours to setup a nice starter base, never mind a giga factory producing end game items.

There is exactly one map, and that veteran players with dozens or hundreds of hours of playtime frequently think there are several ones (as when starting the game, you choose the starting area from a couple of possible ones) shows that there hardly is a reason to worry about the map being always the same - there are so many corners to explore anyway.
