[robust crypt]

@narrow lake I beleive you both need epic accounts and pair them with your consol accounts

and friend eachother

but im a PC player so im only giving you info i have gleamed here

[narrow lake]

So. Me n my girl linked our accs.
Added on epic games.
And i cant see her world or anything (invites)

Help👁👄👁 why does this have to be so confusing

[robust crypt]

there is a explanation here #faq message

[autumn mica]

What are you on I’m assuming PlayStation but idk why you’re going about it this way?
If you’re not saying her invited that’s it an epic game issue that’s a Xbox or PlayStation issue.
As for not seeing their world. This isn’t Minecraft with realms there is no dedicated world so the other person would HAVE to be on and in the game for you to join. Most of the time at least on Xbox you need an invite anyway. As I said in your not seeing a inv that’s a console issue. Unless your playing thru pc as there’s no need for a epic account on the game unless your on pc

Kinda hate how this server operates in just asking for help in your world they are so demanding on using LFG when how they allow LFG to work is TERRIBLE if your on tomorrow night I’m on Xbox but can use dc to take a look but I’m really not the best at it so by all means if you find someone more confident chances are they are better then myself 🤣

[narrow lake]

Yea i couldnt see her invites or anything but SHE were instantly able to join etc

We figured it out tho etc

[dry crow]

Is it fine to put more input than your current belts can handle? I thought I had 4 impure nodes but turns out its 6, i only have a mk2 belt so i'd have an extra 60 on it

[autumn mica]

The 60 obviously won’t be used but it’s not like it’s gonna hurt. If anything you can expand your project to accommodate the extra 60 and when you get better belts simply upgrade. Working on a massive iron plant where each belt will run 1200 per min even tho I don’t have that unlocked yet

[light ravine]

Can u rent a server and play it on xbox or is it only for PC that u can rent a server and play it

[autumn mica]

Pc only

Lots of people looking on console this week ^-^

[civic field]

Ah yeah didn't see that my bad

[robust crypt]

All good. Just trying to increase your chances

[civic field]

Much appreciated thanks

[vernal violet]

Still need someone?

[hot island]

Do people have good coords for nice/good looking places to build?Looking for a nice place to build a central hub, but was interested in the opinion of others.

[rose isle]

Is multiplayer fixed yet?

[topaz basalt]

How was it supposed to be broken?

Ah, sorry, mixed channels.
No, the cross-console crossplay issues for some have not changed.

[still wharf]

Im building one in the Rocky Desert at the minute. Lots of Iron, Copper, and LimeStone and you can build an oil highway from the spire coast to the North of Rocky Desert. Bauxite in the swamp to the south. All in all a pretty decent place.

[robust crypt]

It really depends what you are looking for. If i were to build something Really big id like a bowl to do it in. Somewhere like the desert canyons. so you can make the part of it level with the canyons walls on either side.

if you want a good view you can really build anywhere and just go up

[hot island]

Can we not paint automated gates?

[robust crypt]

no i think the steel finish is your only option

[hot island]

Shame

Well, cheers!

[robust crypt]

although they may sneak that feature in at some point. They have yet to annouce you can paint rails in 1.2 but you can paint them the metalic colours.

[hot island]

Same goes for framed windows?

[robust crypt]

framed winodws can be painted i belive. But try it and see

[hot island]

Nah, still looks normale to me. Would be a great feature, if we can paint the autmated gates, and the frames of windows, as well as maybe tinted/colored glass

Or atleast, the framed one still has the grey-ish metallic look. Not that big of a deal, as it fits in the colorscheme of the building

[robust crypt]

i Thought you ment these ones. Im pretty sure you can paint them

#screenshots message

[hot island]

Oh those, yeah no meant the window walls, but in those that you sent, you only color the frame right? Not the "lines" in the glass?

[robust crypt]

correct

[hot island]

Ah, yeah not what I was looking for anyway, but thank you for the quick answers though! appreciate it.

[robust crypt]

Where this is a Console specific Chat most (if not all) game features are the same on all plateforms. Feel free to use the #math-and-meta and #design-and-architecture channels. They are really helpful.

I put my platform in my user name so that people know what i play on to make trouble shooting easier and the information i hand out context

[hot island]

Oh, yeah, I thought to ask it in here, as I play on console, so that people might know it's without mods, and maybe some things are a little different between PC and console version.

[robust crypt]

I get that. I just want to make sure you are not limiting yourself. ^_^

[storm sentinel]

Anyone got suggestions for lighting I am on Xbox series X and my frame rates drop drastically whenever I turn on my lights

[surreal lichen]

Honestly that can be a problem even on PC, depending on hardware, etc. I actually just got used to literally having my flashlight on all the time, awhile ago. There was a specific patch during Update 8 development where things just got darker in general

Other than that, it can help to use windows instead of walls, and make sure that your buildings aren't too "deep" in both directions, so there's decent natural light all around. Doesn't help the stuff that's in shadow anyway, but that's what the flashlight's for. :D

[dry crow]

Is there a way to get conveyor belts up a ramp?

[robust crypt]

ya, place a conveyor pole on the base of the ramp and at the top then connect the two

[dry crow]

yes, this worked, thank you

[robust crypt]

you can do the same for rails when you get there make the minimum length rails just going over the base of the ramp then run it most the way up (leave a half foundation of ram) then make a new short rail cresting the ramp and minimum length. this prevents clipping

(note rail only like 1m and 2m ramps)

[dry crow]

idk what rails are yet but ill keep this in mind 🤗

also do you have any tips for a storage area

for early game

[robust crypt]

Ya, Research the alien tree in the MAM there is tech in there for storage that is a game changer. Thats always my first priority

[dry crow]

okay, thanks again

hi another quick question is it more productive to use better nodes for materials needed to progress through the tiers? for example i need to be building modular frames and rotors, so should i dedicate a pure iron node to building the factories to build modular frames & rotors or is it fine to dedicate the pure iron node to producing basic matierals for storage (like iron plates and iron rods)

[robust crypt]

doesnt matter. as long as you get the ore you need.

[dry crow]

what are you supposed to do with far nodes?

i found like 3 different areas, one had 3 pure nodes but its about 1000 meters away

from my hub and other factories ^

is it just a drive i would have to consistently make to get my material or do i slowly build towards my hub

[robust crypt]

Build where the materials are. No need to have everything in one place. The map is big. Spread out ^-^

Click the link im about to provide if you dont mind spoilers and a solution

!wikisearch dimensional depot

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/index.php?search=dimensional+depot

[dry crow]

Yeah I know I was just wondering if theres any convenience to it, but thanks!

I've heard about the depot before I haven't progressed far enough

I can always just redo the buildings and connect stuff later on though.

[robust crypt]

its pretty easy to unlock find some glowing spheres and Purple or.

if you started in the grass lands the ore is || under the giant arch||

[dry crow]

Is there anyway to mark a location?

So you can come back to it when travelling

or do you just have to remember where its at lol

[robust crypt]

yes. the is markers you can place on the map

[dry crow]

do you know how to place them

[robust crypt]

I do not know console controls but on Pc you hit M then click the marker button

[dry crow]

is it permanent?

i've placed a warning marker thing before with my joystick but it fades after a few seconds

[robust crypt]

yes, although you can choose to remove it

[dry crow]

Okay, thanks

[dry crow]

i just unlocked the foundry and steel requires iron and coal, so does that mean i would have to connect the two across long distance? or find a place with both nodes close by

[robust crypt]

if you started in the grasslands i usually use the coal node to the south and south west. The SW one has lots of irn near

[dry crow]

i'll travel back since i moved bases for water and stuff

but yeah i think its grassland? its my first playthrough so i just clicked the first one to learn

[robust crypt]

Ya, they are all the same map just diffrenet spawn locations

Yo I need help 😭

[kind wyvern]

there are online maps that can show you the best locations, just search for satisfactory interactive maps

[robust crypt]

with....

[dry crow]

yeah i had heard from some videos but i wanted to explore naturally atleast for my first playthrough :)

either ways i found an area shortly after i sent that message

right now im having an issue with water pipes?

im trying to add more coal generators cause i need more power but i normally do a 2:1 ratio with water extracters but my head lifts are saying that they're exceeding their recommended head lifts?

im not sure what it means though i only have one water extractor using the pipes

[novel scarab]

[weary dawn]

Hello there totally awesome user! You can checkout https://discordapp.com/channels/370472939054956546/1201555265942724758 and check the pins on how to find folks to play with. <3

[old sparrow]

Hello world

[kind wyvern]

Water extracters can lift water up to 10m
Then u have to add pumps if u wanna go higher

[mint snow]

For your specific issue I suggest reading the 18page manual on fluid physics for the game, if your running into flow issues because of head lift make a water tower, or simply just make an inverted u bend above all the inlets of your coal plants, and pump the water up and over then back down. Because water always wants to be level now you won’t have head lift issues, and if your working with mrk 1 pipes, only make one water tower just make the outlet of it right back next to the pump so all other pipes take advantage of that lift

I’m a fluid geek for some reason, and fluids in this game can get so annoying

[fringe trellis]

HelloWorld.sh

[fringe trellis]

If you raising your pipes above where your extractors are then you have to supplement the lift with pumps. There’s a fancy snap point you can use but everything I’ve seen on YouTube is to put your pumps just below that(3-6ish meters?) and rinse repeat until your fluids are where they need to be. Also look into “Water Towers” as they may help you with what you’re making?

[modern heart]

The thing with pumps is that they frequently say they are exceesing their limit when you snap them to the recommended points, but thats technically a kind of display error

They dont actually excees the limit if you snap them to those spots

[dry crow]

Thank you all for the replies.

[dry crow]

I assume this is the issue as everythings flowing fine so 🤷‍♂️

[light fiber]

Unfortunately i found the opposite to be true, those snap points kept going past the limit, well this is on pc,maybe console is different?

I ended up stop using those snap points, because it results in pipes that didnt work

[modern heart]

They say they exceed the limit but i ran tests and they effectively goof up and start counting the wrong height.

In some cases, they start reading how full the next pump is even though they shouldnt

[light fiber]

All i know is my pipes stopped working and those were attached at the snap points so...

I even readded them at the snap points because i thought it was super weird, but same result

The best i could tell the snap points were slighty more than where it should have been, to not exceed the limits

Idk why, seemed like the game was calculating it wrong, overestimating it looked like i think

[dire portal]

I made a stupid idea of how to keep my world fun after finishing Project Assembly: something I call ConRAD. Don’t ask, but I am planning to make an awesome sink and just start randomising things to sink into it like a contract machine.

[gaunt reef]

Does anyone have the problem when you are trying to build something with an input or output, that it will turn to every side but the one you need and then refuse to go to it? Because its gonna drive me insane.

[topaz basalt]

Bug with one specific orientation of foundation at 45 degree angle from cardinal directions.
Remove and replace the foundation, they do have four orientations.

Returned bug in (console) 1.1 after getting fixed earlier.

[gaunt reef]

Thank you! Atleast I know its something they know about and that there is some reason behind it.

[shy galleon]

Who wants to play?(ps only)

Lf 24/7

[edgy pasture]

The snap points for vertical fluid lift work on console (Xbox) as long as you don't power them until after all are placed.
Currently have a series of mk1 pumps that are pushing the 200m mark. The loop at the top is non-negotiable.

[lucid compass]

Vertical fluid lift?

[edgy pasture]

Using the inline pumps, fluid can be lifted (pushed) 20m vertically per mk1 pump. Machines only give 10m lift from the output side. If you want to build vertical you need something (inline pumps) to push.

I'm close to the mk2 size pipes. Can't wait to see how much they f*** my grand plans

[heavy vale]

So I’m trying to build more “vertically” because I’m so sick and tired of not having enough space for factories on the ground. But I have no idea how to start building vertical. Mainly because I don’t know to do a vertical manifold.

[lucid compass]

This is how I’m doin it #satisfactory-experimental message

each blueprint has an in and out at the top and bottom. Connect them all vertically as you desire and you just end up with super tall buildings with the footprint of a single blueprint. I have tons of them now.

[heavy vale]

Thank you @lucid compass

[heavy vale]

Do you have a tutorial for how to make the blueprint for in the MK1 planner?

[lucid compass]

I usually start with a 1M foundation floor, build layer of machines, make a floor above, and so on.

I typically will use 18 constructors, 30 smelters, 9 foundries, or 6 assemblers in the Mk1 blueprint. But I also like to build specialized blueprints per each assembled item. I.e. I have a blueprint that makes motors only using iron ingots. Once you have a few blueprints set up, it’s not too hard to change them slightly and save as a new one.

Then I build walls which act as the “support” for the floating floors.

Avoid using vertical splitters in the blueprinter and test them after saving it.

[heavy vale]

Gotcha

[lucid compass]

hi, is it better to separate each materials production? im doing the milestones and stuff and i need steel beams & pipes, i have a steel beam factory and its 30 beams per minute, i used a calculator and it said if i add steel pipes to it they both can produce 22 per minute, wouldn't it be more efficient i guess to have both of them being produced by the same factory area?

also i recently unlocked blueprints is there anywhere i can go to see best layouts to blueprint/save?

[random relic]

!wikisearch independency

[weary dawn]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/index.php?search=independency

[random relic]

it's best to group materials if they have the same ingredients

and make each component from scratch

the wiki page explains it

[bleak robin]

So um Hogs with jetpacks is new?

[high furnace]

can anyone tell me if multiple drones can deliver to a singular port?

[twin pilot]

You need multiple ports I believe

[topaz basalt]

Yes, you can have multiple drones going to same destination port.

And is often used in pull configuration for fuel etc.
Where the port with items being input doesn't have drone by itself, but multiple droens go there to get that item.

[robust crypt]

Slim chance of one spawning with one. Its a easter egg

[topaz basalt]

One dev didn't like talk how jetpack was hard counter to hogs.
And added Johnny the Jetpack Hog into the game as 1 in 1000 chance replacement for Alpha Hogs.

[high furnace]

so for one port i want items coming in from one factory but i also want to send stuff out from there to a different factory

[topaz basalt]

That won't work well.
As you will then get mixed items.

A -> B -> C will not end well.
Only all incoming, or all outgoing.

[high furnace]

ok, will have to modify

Are you supposed to buy stuff in the sink shop to unlock them...?

I thought you got ladders and stuff by progressing in the game but I see it's in the shop 😭

[robust crypt]

ya, The shop has a lot of key items

[dry crow]

ok thank you do u know where to get strange alien matter?

i found the other two but im not sure where to get that from

[robust crypt]

SAM is found on purple glowing node. There is one UNDER the big arch in the grasslands.

bring a gun

[dry crow]

okay thanks

[dry crow]

rebar?

[robust crypt]

that works.

youll nbeed explosives to get in too.

[dry crow]

yea i was gonna ask

i dont think i've progressed far enough

if you're talking about the arch with the big hole-ish thing in the middle

[robust crypt]

its in the mam. no far from teh rebar gun

[surreal lichen]

You can get Explosives pretty early on, btw, though you need steel to actually build 'em. Once you find some sulfur in the world, start researching it in your MAM. :)

[dry crow]

hmm

i've found sulfur before but i dont see anything in the mam

i know i have some by my hub so ill travel back and mine more

nvm found some near the arch

[dry crow]

which rocks do i destroy? i got the nobelisks but theres multiple rocks

[surreal lichen]

Any rock that's in your way? Or which looked at you funny? :)

The rocks which block progression (like sealing up cave entrances or blocking access to nodes or items) have a distinctive "cracked" appearance

Though you can also often destroy other smaller rocks around the map too

[dry crow]

I was going through the wrong area lol, I had built ramps down towards the hole though since I found out thats where the SAM was and I was able to get enough to research the dimensional depots and stuff.

Then after exploring to try to build automatic wiring I came across a pure sam in the wild lol

[queen plinth]

Anyone got any good recommendations for start of phase 2

[stark knoll]

Anyone want to friend request me on Xbox so that when I get some free time we can play online? Damocles#4095

It's frustrating u have to use epic games launcher on top of Xbox to play online, but I'm Baron Damocles on Epic

[edgy silo]

@stark knoll what's your schedule like homie you on more at night or day?? I've been looking for someone to play with for a while now but I'm mainly on at night

[stark knoll]

Well I usually have free time after 4pm Arizona MST time, usually crash around midnight

[edgy silo]

Your 2 hours behind me so that should work perfectly, I don't normally get on until I take my wife to work around 8pm cst which would be 6pm your time

[stark knoll]

I need to get a headset too, lol parrot wrecked my Razer one

@edgy silo that's perfect, I linked my Epic account to my Xbox profile so I just need to figure out how to get u on my Epic friends list

[edgy silo]

My Xbox tag is deadly NaCl I'm supposed to be playing with 7 days tonight with a few friends but I'll go ahead and add you on Xbox when I get the chance. My epic tag should be the same if not it'll be Mr.deathattack but I think once we add each other on Xbox it should allow us to play together

[stark knoll]

@edgy silo apparently it needs to link us on Epic launcher too, and no worries about tonight I got to clean the house with my wife

[edgy silo]

Interesting, I never knew that before. I can access my epic account on Google through my phone I'll go ahead and shoot you a request here in a bit

[stark knoll]

Copy

[dry crow]

is there a prioritization list for what you should buy from the sink shop or can you buy whatever?

[robust crypt]

Personally I like floor holes for both pipes and lifts, and other things that add functionality to the game. After I get those I like cement foundation (removes metal from foundations but at the cost of more cement)

[surreal lichen]

Nothing from the shop is actually required so in the end it's whatever you want. Personally, catwalks are usually one of my first purchases

[dry crow]

Well I got pretty much everything you guys had recommended lol

I did see a lot about catwalks online so I got that and ladders and floor holes and stuff

Since I have the items though I was wondering if you're supposed to build up? I know a lot of videos have people with their factories in the air to avoid terrain I guess

[surreal lichen]

You've got 2km of vertical space to work with, should you want to. You're not required to build vertically but it gives you a lot more options while building

Personally I dislike the "skybase" type thing where you've got factories literally floating above terrain, but I do like multistory factories which are integrated into their environment. (Obvs all that is just personal aesthetic choices)

[dry crow]

Can you further explain on what you mean by integrated into their environment?

Also yeah I heard it gives you more options, I would have the concrete foundations under it though, I don't like factories with no surface either 😅

[surreal lichen]

Oh, just, like, making an effort to make sure it looks "nice" with the local geographical features, etc. Following contours of the land, keeping trees and such around as decorative elements, etc, etc

https://communityhighlights.satisfactory.video/meta-search/?meta[]=nature perhaps, though most of the shots in there will be from folks more skilled at decoration than myself

[dry crow]

Ohhh, okay I see. I was thinking more so about the designs where it's like factories on each floor, or something like that.

[surreal lichen]

Yeah, once you get past the ground floor there's little if any "environment" to have to worry about. :D

Unless you're building a factory which happens to be in a manta flight path, of course!

[dry crow]

Lol, got it thanks! Do you know any good places to visit to start learning how to build vertically? To learn about layouts and what not?

[surreal lichen]

IMO there's no better teacher than practice + experience. Go make some mistakes and then try to do better next time. :)

#design-and-architecture might be able to give you some better pointers

One general bit of advice is to make smaller independent factories for each product you make, going from ore->final-product. (And then once that factory's done, you never touch it again. When some other factory needs more of that resource, you just make more of it right inside that new factory.) That's something I generally recommend with folks struggling with general expansion + complexity, but IMO it's great for iterating on your design skills, too

'cause if you're doing a lot of littler factories, then:
A) You're not bound by any past "mistakes." If an approach you take in one factory turns out to not work so well, you can do something totally different the next time without having to work around everything you did last time.
B) Having a smaller project to try stuff on tends to be easier in general

[dry crow]

I have been doing mini factories for every material I needed to be created but I know it'll get harder/more complex as I further progress, but I'll try my best to build to my imagination then just visit here if things get stuck! Thanks for your help!

[gaunt mesa]

Is there a list of bugs and maybe even work arounds somewhere?

[lucid compass]

Any updates on the console save crash issue?

[modern heart]

so far none

[strong sedge]

Do some one know if there some console optimization with the 1.2 patch beside of the KBM thing ?

[pure hamlet]

Havent played since 100%ing the game on release. Have they added anything substantial re the lights looking pretty bad & the colours at +/- 1000 on foundations like pc have? Ive seen the 1.2 stuff and am considering another playthrough

Also is there a way to get a map of your custom seed, like the one of the standard map?

Final ask actually lol: can we transfer blueprints between saves now as well?

[robust crypt]

Next big update is 1.2 its being tested now with no release date.

Vehicle rework treats trucks more like trains for automation is the highlight.

Other features are daisy chaining power for machines, weather effects, and node randomness

[stuck frost]

Haven't found a way to do so yet 😔

[olive cedar]

probably a stupid question.
is there a way to make foundations snap to the world grid and not player orentation when pulling them out to build (without needing to press a button?

[surreal lichen]

No, snap-to-world-grid can't be enabled by default; have to hold down a button to do it

(although also: free yourself from World Grid! You don't need it. Build to a local grid for a factory, sure, but there's never a need to use world grid. If you do later decide you want to hook up remote factories via foundation, there's a lot of techniques to merge grids cleanly, such as https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uX_2i8T3Dbw)

[heavy vale]

So I know priority mergers basically prioritize sides of the input to merge based on how you set the sides. But I don’t know what I’d use a priority merger for? Could someone explain it to little ole stupid me?

[surreal lichen]

It's a very niche buildable, honestly. The fact that it wasn't introduced until v1.1 is a good indication that it's not been a vital part of Satisfactory factory infrastructure for the majority of the game's lifetime

But it can be used in some specific cases, for folks who want it. If you're looping back "waste/recycled" byproducts/items or whatever and want to ensure those are processed first, for instance. Certain kinds of "bus" designs (which many of us recommend against, but some folks like building 'em anyway), etc. :)

[heavy vale]

So basically something I don’t necessarily need to worry about.

[surreal lichen]

In the end, just an option available for folks who want it, etc

[heavy vale]

Well at least the option is there.

[surreal lichen]

Yeah, you can very easily do without (as literally everyone who's played the game prior to v1.1 has done. :D)

[heavy vale]

Thank you for explaining it though.

[regal grove]

Does console got keyboard support yet?

[surreal lichen]

Coming in v1.2. No release date set as of yet, but they're deep into testing on the Experimental branch (EXP is only for PC, though -- console folks will have to wait for v1.2)

[regal grove]

So soon?

Hopefully

[surreal lichen]

In a cosmological sense, definitely soon!

But much depends on testing + user feedback, etc. I'd feel comfortable guessing no more than like 3 months out, but that's just a guess. :)

I’m on console and don’t know the answer I’m afraid but it’s always a worry at the back of my mind. Do you have loads and loads of decoration etc?

Which Xbox? S or X?

[velvet gazelle]

Series X. Not a lot of decorations just lots of factories/ belts

I hope 1.2 brings a patch because it’s unlikely you’ve hit the world limit unless they are mega mega factories.

[queen plinth]

Like is it glitchier or is it just worse in general

[dry crow]

Not that I've experienced...? 🤔

I've had the game for about a week or two now with 100+ hours and I haven't ran into any bugs or glitches.

[queen plinth]

Ok

Thx

[dry crow]

np

[coral whale]

The game is very well optimized on PS5, no frame rate drops, no freezes, etc. The game is really good on console

[trail tendon]

more often than not games will run better/more consistently on console than pc

[plucky sonnet]

I’m on an Xbox X with over 400 hours (a lot afk) but the only difference I’ve noted is the autosaves take longer. Not long. Just longer.

[modest bramble]

It depends on what you build

You can beat the game on console if you only build the bare bones of what you need (like just foundations and machines basically) but if you try to build stuff to make your factories look nice the game will eventually crash when it tries to save

First it'll crash inconsistently but then it'll start crashing every time

[sharp mason]

Yo do you guys think for when 1.2 comes out for xbox to add better power sources like for e.g wind or solar

[modest bramble]

So you just have to build very minimally

[plucky sonnet]

I haven't really decorated yet for that reason - I also wonder if my decision to go nuclear - which has a lot of moving parts but overall fewer buildings impacts. Whether having conveyor belts or trains makes a difference to the computation etc.
There are so many worlds you can build - you cannot do a mega factory maybe but hopefully I can beat the game then go back and decorate without worrying too much.

[pure hamlet]

This isn’t true at all

I had a 400 hour save when the game launched on console, a massive mega factory making 40 of each final phase part, a 900gw nuclear facility and close to 50 satellite factories and i never had a crash.

[modest bramble]

Yea it's very hit or miss

Which means it's probably a specific bug that causes it

[topaz basalt]

On PC side there is very long running bug that can cause a belt connection be built bugged, and start to corrupt random memory, causing crashes in several varieties.
From building belts too fast compared to FPS, with clients in MP making them much more easily (and tied to host FPS / tick rate).
Need to wait subsecond between pointing and clicking to confirm the build position in general.
Probably in the console versions too.

For some versions you need to be in belt item render range, for other versions it can be anywhere on the map

For crash to be possible to happen.

For that crash on save, probably running out of RAM.
Happens much earlier on Series S, because of the way smaller RAM.
When lot gets used as VRAM for the graphics.

There is uptick in RAM usage while saving.

[pure hamlet]

Does anyone have much experience with ags on console? Is it the same functionality as pc?

I mainly just want the fly, unlock all alternate recipes and to give myself all the mercer spheres, slugs and sloops

[surreal lichen]

I have no direct experience but I'd be shocked if it wasn't identical

[pure hamlet]

i imagine so yah, i just wasnt sure how it worked as i think pc is all done via console commands?

[surreal lichen]

No console required; AGS is something you can enable when you start a new game, or whenever your load an existing save

Mostly just keep in mind that one it's enabled on a save, (ie: once it's saved with the AGS flag on), that flag can't be removed (and AGS disables achievements)

[pure hamlet]

oh i didnt realise it was an ingame menu lol

[pure hamlet]

good thing i 100%’d on my first save lol

i just dont wanna get all the hard drives, spheres sloops and slugs and wait for the hoverpack lol

[lilac edge]

<@&370483737957236737> does keyboard support on console mean console players can access console commands?

-# you dawg, I heard you liked consoles so we put a console in your console so you can [insert punchline here]

[dry crow]

Are power slugs only used for overclocking or do they have any other uses later in the game?

[queen plinth]

Only overclocking I’m pretty sure

[heavy vale]

You only use slugs to create power shards. Later you can unlock artificial Power Shards in the MAM.

Note: It is best principle to sloop Power Slugs so you double how many shards you can make from each slug.

[queen plinth]

That is correct

Sloping power slugs is OP in early game

slooping

[zenith tangle]

wen PSVR2 support for satisfactory?

[sharp mason]

Who wants to play satosfactory with me on xbox

[robust crypt]

#1201555265942724758

[dry crow]

What is slooping?

[rocky wigeon]

Theres items (somersloops) you can collect that after researching in the mam allows you to double the output of your machines in exchange an increased cost in power and a certain # of sloops depending on the machine

So in the case mentioned there, you can use sloops to turn 1 blue slug into 2 shards, or 1 yellow into 6, or 1 purple into 10 (if I remember the numbers right off the top of my head)

[dry crow]

Ohhh okay thank you.

[rocky wigeon]

The sloops are not used up btw, my explanation may have made it seem otherwise but they are used in a similar manner to the shards in that they can be moved around machines and are not consumed

[dry crow]

Okay. I've just been saving the sloops at the hub personal box because I didn't know what they did so whenever I get the required stuff unlocked I'll have plenty to use

[wary chasm]

Are valves good to use or is there no point to use them?

[modern heart]

in normal production lines there is rarely ever a need to use them

You can use them, but they have a bit more nuance to use them

[hybrid belfry]

basically unless you want to experiment a lot to get some use of them, the rule of thumb is "don't build them at all, make your life easier"

[wary chasm]

So they aren’t worth using outside of experimenting with them?

[broken pond]

satisfactory on ps+?

[hybrid belfry]

Not at all imo

[ebon cairn]

can ps player play with pc ?

[hybrid belfry]

no

[wary chasm]

Okay thank you dude

[dark drift]

Looking to figure out if my setup is good, currently running a rocket fuel powerplant with the process being oil -> alt rec: HOR -> diluted packaged fuel -> turbo rocket fuel, is this the best way or should I work it another way?

Tried asking in the pc channel but got ignored

[wintry delta]

How the heck do you make smart plating automate any faster

[surreal lichen]

1. Build more machines
2. Overclock the existing machines
3. sloop the existing machines
4. Use the alt recipe which adds in plastic (though you probably don't have access to that yet)

If you're still at the beginning of the game as I suspect, honestly just a single machine making Smart Plating will be fine

It won't take long to reach the initial Phase 1 goal, and then if you leave that single machine running while you work through Phase 2, it'll probably finish that 1k delivery long before you're ready with the other requirements to unlock the next phase

[broken rampart]

someone for coop EU?

[surreal lichen]

#1201555265942724758 is the best place for that, btw

[broken rampart]

mb, thanks

[supple cove]

Do we have an update about the issues when it comes to xbox series S?

[misty ferry]

Can anyone on Xbox confirm something for me?

I found a workaround to get symbols and special characters working on PS5 since they lock it down so much but I've heard Xbox literally will just let you copy and paste from a web browser? Accurate?

[vale quail]

Yeah

[misty ferry]

So you can copy/paste the special characters directly from wiki.gg onto your signs in game?

with xbox. @vale quail

[vale quail]

Yeah, as long as you're using the Xbox browser

[misty ferry]

beautiful. Thank you.

PS5 players should be pretty happy with me tomorrow lol

[vale quail]

We can select text with the controller cursor, three lines, copy, to into your text box, and paste, or if you have a keyboard you can make the process easier

[pure hamlet]

Have you figured out a way to get the solid colours using the -10 stuff on the swatch selector?

When i did my save on launch i couldnt get it to work no matter what i tried

[vale quail]

No

I don't really play around with that stuff

[pure hamlet]

https://youtube.com/shorts/BnsWV4R4acs?si=5Ym2Moaj92Z5TnV2
its this in case you werent familiar, but i think its only a pc thing unfortunately:/

[plucky sonnet]

That sounds amazingly useful How do you paste? Which buttons is it?

[plucky sonnet]

It just resets back to 0 when I try it. I thought I read somewhere it isn’t available but I hope 1.2 fixes that.

[vale quail]

3 lines by the power button

[plucky sonnet]

Thank you!

I have gotten really fast with the clunky Xbox controls but special characters were still beyond reach.

[misty ferry]

Wait til you see how jank the solution to special characters is on ps5

Might share the video today. If not, tomorrow. But yikes lol. Sony does not want people using them

[wary jungle]

Tbh sony behaves like they do not want people to use their systems in general. I cannot wait to be able to afford a pc someday because PSN is actually tragic.

[pure hamlet]

Yeh i think 1.2 with kbm we might have a chance

[misty ferry]

The amount of money I've saved on games bought me my PC. Easily.

If you're buying a certain number of games per year you should calculate that. The discounts on PC are way steeper, way easier to track, and far more frequent

[wary jungle]

Twin, my income almost entirely gets sucked into living costs. I wish it went into games

[misty ferry]

Yeah I mean, now that I have kids same. Lol

[wary jungle]

Damn Bros got kids. I kinda forget that gaming demographics go beyond 25+

I don't think I could pull through if I had another person on my income tbh

[misty ferry]

Satisfactory in particular has a pretty wide demographic I would say.

99% male if YouTube demographics are anything to go by. But it does meet the criteria for a dad game in terms of the age group it appeals to

[wary jungle]

Yeah true. Kinda cool games like this can connect entire age brackets :3

[plucky sonnet]

Plus older girls like me!

[misty ferry]

Just saw the models you posted in your bio. Super cool

[modern heart]

Ive heard a bunch of times in here how parents use this game to get their kids to secretly learn math (and have fun)

[plucky sonnet]

Thanks! I love designing stuff but Satisfactory keeps distracting me.

[wintry delta]

When will 1.2 come to consoles

[wintry delta]

I've been tryna convince my parents to let me play satisfactory instead of math homework

[misty ferry]

Might be able to combine the two if you're interested. Check your DMs

[desert oxide]

Just get the homework done, then play. Grades are more important, even if school sucks, good grades let you get into colleges, which lead to you being able to go into a field you are genuinely interested in

It really sucks though, math is miserable

[surreal lichen]

Same time it comes to PC. Release date has not yet been announced

[deep sequoia]

Still in the oven as in the fixing

[trim pike]

Icl need cross play tho

[vast forge]

idk if this is a known bug or even pre-1.2, but it feels like tiny trees explode way too dramatically. I chop down a tiny tree, and it makes wood and leaves as if I chopped down the biggest tree in the jungle.

[misty ferry]

Here is a way to use special characters and symbols on playstation 5. Hope this helps.

https://www.reddit.com/r/SatisfactoryGame/comments/1t76147/hello_satisfactory_console_community_here_is_my

[undone knoll]

Can you create BP names with symbols? I remember having empty hologram issue and that's why we removed emojis from the console virtual keyboard

[misty ferry]

Probably. I didn't try but it didn't seem to have any restrictions.

My next goal is to get the ultra bright colors on console

[undone knoll]

Yeah right now we cannot enter the number to support a wider range, might as well allow it natively.

[misty ferry]

Meaning you can't? Or generally you can't.

Like what's the barrier lol

[undone knoll]

we could have, skill issue in my part to push for it. Right now its too risky to do it as we are in stabilization phase for 1.2 . Adding any new editable text field on consoles would require us to do a UGC pass on it,

[misty ferry]

I don't play on console so no complaints here.

I did figure out how to edit the text field though. It just doesn't accept any values higher than 1

@undone knoll

[undone knoll]

[misty ferry]

Did nobody figure out how to edit the text field yet? Really? That was easy actually

Getting to accept bigger or smaller values will be my task

[undone knoll]

I assumed it was not editable. Good to know that we should only extend the range of values it should accept.

[misty ferry]

It's not supposed to be. You can't get to it the normal way

I had to get creative. But it was the easy kind of creative

[pure hamlet]

Yeh this is the easy part lol

My theory is that for some reason the xbox keyboard doesnt accept a value above 1 and just defaults back to 1, so once we get 1.2 kbm support we can just use kbm to input it like you do on pc

[regal socket]

I finally got my first basic coal plant done

[regal socket]

Im still getting the kinks out 😭

[robust crypt]

Build, be proud. Sit back and marvel...... troubleshoot repeat

[plucky sonnet]

I thought you just typed in it like normal. It definitely just defaulted back for me though.

[mighty basalt]

I feel like I am getting AI mixed messages... Is it possible to rent a server for xbox players?

[topaz basalt]

No.
There is no support for Dedicated servers for Consoles.

[stark nova]

Has anyone else been experiencing lag around geothermal power plants I built a couple near the southeastern lake well I’m setting up a turbo fuel plant went afk for a bit came back to a massive frame rate drop that lasted until I removed them

[plucky sonnet]

Nope. Just lag when autosaving.

[runic imp]

Anyone know why my game is crashing? Running on series x. Trying to place a blueprint ive placed a hundred times. Put it down now and game crashes. Tried with a similar blueprint and same happens

Seems to be when I use auto connect

[marble igloo]

Happened to me before but it just stopped happening after the 4th or so try

[marble igloo]

Check if the blueprint has any material cost if it doesn’t you may have to remake it

[regal socket]

Does anyone know what the white light instead of green is on the coal generator

[surreal lichen]

The blue light which indicates something overclocked can look pretty saturated, might be that?

[regal socket]

Ohhhh I have it overlocked it just looks white

Thank you

[surreal lichen]

np!

I do wish that the light-indicator colors were a little more distinct

At a distance it's sometimes even hard to distinguish between yellow + green

[random relic]

Yellow ones flash

[surreal lichen]

Yeah, though I still wouldn't say no to some less-saturated color

[regal socket]

I finally have enough coal powered generators to fully automate everything 😁

[desert oxide]

nice!

[regal socket]

I didn't realize that when I was building more coal plants I accidentally deleted a power line and coal mining stopped so I just spent like 30 minutes setting up a coal generator near my coal miners so now that's on its own power

[split blaze]

Anyone trynna chill on vc while we play our own games?

[raw venture]

trying to? probably not.

but you never know!

[spiral lily]

same

i got 2 and overclocked both of them

[wind knoll]

Why overclock instead of just building more?

[distant void]

You can overclock your miners you can overclock things to keep it more organized and condensed

Mainly miners I overclock so I can get the most out of the ore deposit

[wind knoll]

Yeah, i know how it works, but coal power generators are fairly cheap, why would you ever overclock the generator?

I always overclock the miner and make way more generators

[surreal lichen]

To be fair, shards are plentiful (and eventually fully automatable)

So if you've got 'em to spare, may as well use 'em

[candid smelt]

Guys, is there a way to make the concrete colors more vibrant than the standard ones on the consoles?

[pure hamlet]

Unfortunately not

Possibly the worst thing about the console version

Concrete looks awful without it, hopefully with kbm support in 1.2 we can do it

[candid smelt]

I hope it works even without a keyboard and mouse, since you can change the value but the game kind of gives you a "corrector".

[pure hamlet]

Yeh my theory is that when you pull up the xbox keyboard, its values are capped in someway to 0-1. Hopefully with kbm we can edit it in the field directly and just type in a value past that

[lone fulcrum]

Anyone with experience think they could join my world and help me out a bit? Trying to build a huge factory and kinda struggling with my first major production line 🫩

[plucky sonnet]

I am sure I have already just typed in it and it resets to 1. I will have to try again.

[pure hamlet]

I don’t think youve understood the message you replied to

[plucky sonnet]

Probably. You said it was a theory. I think it’s a fact given what they said on the Dev stream and it needs more testing which they haven’t put in 1.2.

[pure hamlet]

What did they say on the dev stream?

All im saying is that im hopeful the kbm support will let us bypass the value cap that is clearly there

[plucky sonnet]

Not the Dev stream, sorry. It was a message here.

[pure hamlet]

Regardless, what did it say?

[plucky sonnet]

#satisfactory-consoles message

Took me a while to find it.

[pure hamlet]

Yeh thats part of my theory: the xbox keyboard is designed to accept a number between 0-1

The idea behind my theory is that kbm support lets you just edit the field directly without needing the xbox interface, like pc players do

Its just my theory idek if thats plausible or thats how programming works lol

[plucky sonnet]

We agree. I hope they fix in 1.2 as it was an easier fix than Guru seemed to think it would be.

[pure hamlet]

I really hope so lol, foundations look shit without it

[plucky sonnet]

Maybe just a field that is limited. Given you can type larger numbers in the field above, it’s either Xbox or CSS constrained. Depending which is how easy it is to fix in my head. Reality will differ.

[pure hamlet]

Fingers crossed they push it out

[misty ferry]

It won't. They need to actually change that in the game

[pure hamlet]

How come youre so certain?

[misty ferry]

The values are sanitized in the game forcing it between 0-1

[pure hamlet]

Oh that would make sense

Like i said im coping w my theory lol idk if its possible the way i said it

[surreal lichen]

Still, if the PC+Console code is getting merged to be closer, it's possible that K+M mode on console might end up allowing 'em to bypass it

Time will tell!

[misty ferry]

they may unlock them as @plucky sonnet said.

I tried very hard to bypass it using exponents, special characters, equations, etc. No dice

I also tried every workaround for the hex input that I knew. Nothing.

Hex allows for far more input types but is still santized properly on all the attempts I made so far. Still working on it.

[pure hamlet]

Yeah but this doesnt mean the game itself is limiting it

[misty ferry]

It is

[pure hamlet]

Why cant it be the xbox keyboard is only allowed to accept a certain value range

[surreal lichen]

Yeah, I suppose the last comment from Guru indicated that it was indeed a clamp on the UI element itself

[misty ferry]

well, it happens on ps5 and remote play as well

[surreal lichen]

(#satisfactory-consoles message)

[misty ferry]

and I can bypass all other character type limits on ps5 via remote play and quick timing lol

[surreal lichen]

But still; perhaps it's something that'll get tweaked prior to the v1.2 release. :)

[misty ferry]

and yes Guru indicated it was on their end. But also with the way it works it's obviously something they can control

[pure hamlet]

What other character type limits are there? Just symbols?

[misty ferry]

on ps5, yes symbols.

but that one is on playstation's end and is easily bypassed via remote play

you don't have that limit on xbox

[pure hamlet]

I dont see why its out of the realm of possibility that its the xbox/ps5 keyboard that has the number cap but time will tell i guess

[misty ferry]

See, in that situation, the game will accept the input once I bypass Sony's nonsense. But with the hex codes it doesn't matter.

[pure hamlet]

I hope being able to actually directly edit those text boxes will work lol

[misty ferry]

@pure hamlet it's not. I have entered numbers higher than 1 and special characters and more. Sony accepts them but the game sanitizes them

Coffee Stain have to decide to change it

[pure hamlet]

same on xbox but idk how you’re determining that the game is what sanitises them

[misty ferry]

Okay you win. It's actually the game that is sanitizing them. Kbm support will fix it.

[pure hamlet]

maybe im just being dumb and/or too hopeful

[misty ferry]

You just have misplaced hope lol

[pure hamlet]

But youre not explaining your thinking, just saying your thoughts have to be the case

[misty ferry]

you should place your hope in css unlocking it

[pure hamlet]

I made a post on the qa website the second day the console port was out and heard nothing lol, gave up on that pretty quick

[pure hamlet]

Its not about winning lol im just trying to understand how you arrived at your conclusion is all

[misty ferry]

They see everything there. They don't have time to answer everything but if issues come up enough or are highly upvoted there, they will talk it over and decide something about it

not saying it'll be a decision you like but it will get dealt with on their end

[misty ferry]

Guru already indicated that they locked it down. Guru is a game dev.

I can bypass the blocks sony puts on special characters easily. The game accepts them.

I can bypass the blocks Sony puts on values easily. The game does not accept them. It is the game making that "decision"

If it were being santized or filtered by SONY (which, it kind of is), then there would be no issue when I bypass their block. The game should accept what I got in there. But it doesn't. So when I type 3 manually which I have successfully done, console hands it over to the game and the game says gfy

[pure hamlet]

Yeah that seems pretty reasonable

Seems bleak if we have to wait for css to do smth ngl lol

I imagine its pretty low on the list of priorities for them w 1.2 on the horizon

regardless, i made another suggestion on the qa site. would be beneficial for us all if everybody upvoted it: https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/6a034f4eb4a0d61847270347

[glass mica]

Anyone knows when 1.2 on console is expected?

[surreal lichen]

Same time that 1.2 on PC is expected. (A release date has not yet been announced)

[neon helm]

Does someone know when the update is coming out?

[surreal lichen]

Employees at CSS probably have an internal target they're aware of. They may have some job openings so if you're quick, you could maybe find out before the rest of us!

[vale quail]

Question, Xbox and Ps can't play together can they.

[somber pine]

Um anyone know when 1.2 uodate is coming to consoles or is it a sit and wait thing and all

[pure hamlet]

Same time as when it comes to pc

[desert oxide]

Play station can play with Xbox if that’s what you meant, if you meant PC, no you can. It

[vale quail]

Oh, okay

[desert oxide]

Hey, does it bother anyone else that the map is stagnant? Like it doesnt change based off what you place

[surreal lichen]

I admit I wouldn't mind it if the world were more responsive, though if you stack the amount of time+effort that would have to go into that versus all the other stuff they've been working on, I'm glad they've been focusing on what they have been. :D

Of course v1.2 is bringing with it the return of rain, and addition of some new weather effects, so it's possible future environmental changes could land in the game

[desert oxide]

Oh I was talking about the actual game map, like the one used for navigation in the menu

[surreal lichen]

Oh! lol, gotcha

Yeah, that'd be nifty. On PC there's a mod which does that, though of course that's no use to console folks

Once v1.2 drops, I think that the map starts displaying vehicle routes, at least

[pure hamlet]

This will be cool

Eventually getting the same kind of evolving map that scim shows would be best case i think but maybe thats too ambitious lol

[surreal lichen]

I believe that the devs have indicated in the past that they're not against the idea; it's mostly just a matter of prioritization and such

So we may get something like it in a future update

[misty ferry]

Seems like its pretty resource intensive in other implementations I've seen

cartograph mod has issues late game with this

SCIM is limited mainly by displaying the buildables. If you stop it from loading the visuals you can avoid the memory limits you normally run into

[surreal lichen]

I've never actually used Cartograph but my understanding is that it's pretty well optimized. The trick would be to update a "flat" image as things are being built and only modify the stuff that's changing; actual map-viewing will ideally just be one extra flat-image layer on top of the existing map

I know earlier versions of Cartograph had performance problems but I think they'd addressed all that pretty well

But yeah, you definitely wouldn't want the map to be building that image every time you open it; you'd want to have a prerendered version available which just gets layered on top

[somber pine]

O I thought PC already had it

[desert oxide]

Oh it’s a mod? I thought it was just smth not implemented into console

[surreal lichen]

Yep, it's a mod -- In terms of "vanilla" game functionality, the console version is essentially identical to the PC version

[desert oxide]

I saw ppl with it online; just they didn’t mention it so I thought it was regularly there

[surreal lichen]

The only real differences between PC+Console is stuff like the swatch-color chooser UI element, where on PC you can convince it to escape the usual bounds, etc.

[desert oxide]

Well, I mean clocking is objectively harder

Its a lot less flexible

You can edit the items per minute, but not percentage, and no putting in equations

[surreal lichen]

No way to input numbers directly?

Wonder if that'll arrive with the K+M support in v1.2

[desert oxide]

Items per minute, but thats it

And it’s a keypad

[desert oxide]

I will be messing with my setup whenever I play satisfactory, kbm is actually so much better once you get used to it

[surreal lichen]

Well, regardless: outside of stuff like text input, the games should be essentially identical. PC users don't have a builtin buildings-show-up-on-the-map feature. :)

[desert oxide]

The console teams done a great job

[misty ferry]

They did a great job but also I'm talking about saves with an absurd number of buildables lol

[slender marsh]

Is crossplay fixed?

[spring copper]

hello - i started playing today on Xbox and i can no longer load into my own saves after adding my epic account and cannot join friends or even click on the join game option - i have cleared caches, reinstalled and restarted etc but to no avail, what can i do?

Guys i have an issue my game just casually crashes like i cant stay a minute in it im phase 4 (at the beginning) i dont have any big build my ps5 is like 6 months old idk what to fo

[formal helm]

Little note i reinstalled it it still crashes a minute in iy

[dreamy pollen]

My Xbox was doing it when I first got it I closed app for a bit then loaded it after the console cooled off

[sullen gyro]

Is there a work around for the notes bug on Xbox where the cursor moves on its own and wont let you input text without closing the window on its own? I have tried several Google tips and have searched chats and bugs here... Seems to be known but no real work around yet?

[spiral lily]

went into a cave with my explorer where i found uranium

after a minute i noticed my explorer vanished but still shows on the map

[surreal lichen]

Sometimes vehicles seem to fall through the ground, unfortunately. On consoles the only real way to fix it is to load a prior save/autosave

(It still feels like a regression to me; that used to be semi-common on PC as well but I thought that was fixed up by v1.0, and I never experienced it myself on my last playthrough)

[spiral lily]

you can't just save and load again?

[surreal lichen]

Nope, the "new" location of the vehicle will just get saved along with. There's nothing in the game code to make vehicles auto-snap to the nearest vertical surface or whatever

Would be worth reporting to the Questions site, fwiw, or at least upvoting an almost-certainly-already-existing post about it

Console users can crossplay (PS <-> Xbox), and PC users can crossplay (Steam <-> EGS), but console users can't crossplay with PC users, no matter what the platform/storefront

[topaz basalt]

Body assignment uses your Steam or Epic ID.
And for some reason or other the game didn't get it correctly this time.
Try restarting the game.

If doesn't help, just kill your old body to get the stuff back.

Looking for any Xbox players that want to do a free build. Needing help making a mega/ giga factory

[orchid imp]

I’m relatively new to the game (90 hours) and I’m still getting to grips with mechanics and general efficiency with satisfactory. If anyone from UK is in the same spot as me I’d like to find someone else to play with either on each others world or make a new one 🙂

Is there a interactive map for xbox/console?

[topaz basalt]

Same map, so SCIM works as viewing only: https://satisfactory-calculator.com/en/interactive-map
Save reading and editing functionality doesn't.

[cinder urchin]

Anyone know when 1.2 officially comes out for console?

[modern heart]

Nobody does

[mint ocean]

Guys are there logs or something? Because I have no idea of what I was doing or where I was doing it

[random relic]

you can write your own notes

[surreal lichen]

There's a built-in note-taking thing which is accessible while you're in most menus, though I'm not sure how usable that is on console -- presumably it'll be easier to manage with the upcoming Keyboard support. On PC you get to it via most menus; open inventory (as an example) and then click over on the righthand side of the screen. If it's there on console presumably it's a separate button press, though

But it's generally (IMO) more convenient to have notes outside the game, anyway. The notes field in the game is a bit limited. In the absence of anything else just get yourself a cheap notebook + pencil/pen and do it oldschool. :)

[mint ocean]

Thanks guys. I actually found a note of what I was building and just don't know where it is. Anyway I startes building train roads...

[celest ore]

so i just unlocked coal production, and i dobt know how to switch from biomass to coal without fucking everything up. how do u start?

[mint ocean]

You build your coal energy completely, so it matches your energy consumption and only then dismantle the biomass production

[surreal lichen]

Honestly, embrace the fact that you will eventually fuck everything up. :D

It's a learning curve; the chances of getting it Exactly Right on the first try are pretty small.

Fortunately "fucking everything up" in this game generally just means "I need to kickstart some factory lines" -- it's generally not a big deal

But yeah, what you do is build up coal, and you have to use bio burners to power the water extractors + miners to make that stuff work. So you kind of bootstrap your coal power using the bio power you're already using

But then once the coal power's up and running, you wire it into your grid and the coal stuff starts powering itself, so you don't need the bio burners anymore

[weak yoke]

Note: there is literally no reason to ever dismantle your biomass unless it's occupying space you need for something else

[spiral lily]

when you need to make steel pipe and copper and iron are 1,000 metres apart 😭😭

[robust crypt]

Its not so Bad, At the start this seems like a great distance but as you play and unlock more options and get comfortable its less daunting

[spiral lily]

this is to unlock phase 3 and its the closest to crude oil

lucky i just got an alternate steel pipe which only needs 3 iron ingots

[robust crypt]

you could make petro coke

[spiral lily]

needs to be unlocked in an alternate recipes

[robust crypt]

for sure, But i beleave in you !

[celest ore]

where can you see ur total power consumption of all machines?

[surreal lichen]

So long as you have everything on one unified power grid (ie: all your stuff ultimtely connects via cables/poles), then you can interact with any power pole to get the graph. "Max Consumption" is the line showing you what your power requirement would be if every machine you've got is running at the same time, and "Consumption" is what they're actually using right at the minute

("Production" is the amount of power you're producing, and then "Capacity" is basically just Production plus any Bio Burners you happen to have plugged in still -- once you're past Bio Burners most folks don't see a difference between Production and Capacity)

If you don't have everything on one unified power grid, then you can only get those graphs for your individual power networks, not everything at once

[safe spindle]

does anyone know if there's a way to increase the entity limit now or with 1.2

[surreal lichen]

There is not right now, and if they were planning on adding something like that in to v1.2, they have not announced it (to my knowledge, anyway)

[safe spindle]

only reason i havent beat the game yet is i always run into the entity limit lmao

[robust crypt]

itll prob go up sliughtly with 1.2 but they havent said anytthing 🙁

[regal socket]

Im actively running off my battery supply while I expand my coal power plant. Im almost out of power in my battery's 😔

[cinder urchin]

If we make a new save in 1.2e, when 1.2 fully comes out will I have to start a new save or will that specific save update too?

[surreal lichen]

You can always load a save from a lower-numbered version of the game in a higher-numbered version of the game (in Satisfactory, anyway). Your EXP saves will work just fine in the public v1.2 release

(In fact, once v1.2 releases, it'll get released to the Experimental branch as well. So even if you don't switch back to public, you'll get on the full v1.2 and get "upgraded." :)

Although I just noticed this is the Consoles channel, where Experimental isn't a thing. So if we're staying ontopic, then: you cannot create a new save in 1.2e in the first place. :)

[unkempt otter]

Hello,
what are the thoughts of Satisfactory on Steam Deck?

[plain holly]

Wrong channel, this is for actual consoles.

[unkempt otter]

OK, my bad. Tyvm!

[safe briar]

What starting area is probably fastest to go from stat to coal?

[plucky sonnet]

I keep seeing that PC can replace a splittler with a smart splitter but it never seems to work on my Xbox. Does anyone know if it is possible and what the command is please?

[surreal lichen]

There's not a separate command; you just choose the Smart Splitter as the thing you want to build and then "hover" over an existing splitter

(you can replace mergers/splitters/smart-splitters/programmable-splitters freely so long as the outputs "make sense." LIke you can turn a splitter into a merger so long as only one output belt had been connected, etc)

[plucky sonnet]

I try that but it stays yellow and doesn't light up the original like the conveyor belts so I assumed that it is not replacing. I will test - thank you

[dreamy geyser]

Hi since the #satisfactory channel of the Satisfactory Discord doesn't want to talk about Satisfactory, I'll ask here: Why is my Mk. 2 Miner and Mk. 3 belts struggling to service the 16 coal generators it mathematically should be able to?

[robust crypt]

each one needs 15.min?

[dreamy geyser]

Right. 240/16 is 15

[robust crypt]

make sure there is not a little bit of lower tier belt hiding somewhere

beyond that #1038092680493801533 with lots of pictures is best

[surreal lichen]

I'd recommend not thinking in terms of "I have a mk2 miner and mk3 belts," and instead try to get in the habit of just using the numbers, btw. Saying "mk2 miner" could mean three different things depending on node purity, and a practically infinite number of things if you start changing the machine clocks

Rather, take a look at the miner and make sure it says that it's generating 240/min and then start with that number instead of just "mk2," etc. :)

(That presumably doesn't have any bearing on whatever problem you're having right now, of course, but it'll be a good habit to get into)

[dreamy geyser]

I know it's a long shot... But is anyone familiar with the Youtuber Krydax and his "Compact, Clean, & Tileable" series?

Specifically this video (time stamped to right spot): https://youtu.be/oDskJop0G9o?si=_GEEpI-2mKmmXNs8&t=283

I'm trying to do the Merger belt/lift clip trick and I can't get it to work on the output side. I'd think it's just not possible on console or 1.1, but I was able to do it on the input side.

[hardy hatch]

Is there a way to prevent vehicles from clipping through to bottom or top of the map?

[vague ginkgo]

Is it possible you have fluid issues rather then coal issues?

[dreamy geyser]

We figured it out! I had a pesky tier 2 belt hiding in a splitter

[vague ginkgo]

The classic lmao, ive also spend hours troubleshooting a factory before figuring I forget to place a entire belt

"Why cant this shit drop its output" 😂 😂

[dreamy geyser]

The crazy part is I replaced all of the belts TWICE because I thought there was some bug happening that made my Mk.3 belt run at Mk.2 speed and somehow missed it both times.

[vague ginkgo]

Do you tend to place splitters on existing belts? I ve ran into issues where the game doesnt upgrade belts inside the splitter if you place em like that resulting in the same thing

I try to remove the belt, place the splitter and connect the belt again. It massively reduced those hidden belts not getting upgraded for me

[dreamy geyser]

Lol I do it exactly as you described in your first paragraph. I'll try setting the splitter first.

[vague ginkgo]

Yes I dont blame you, its abit more buggy. Dont think its supposed to do that but it does

Game just decides half a meter of belt inside the splitter is a different placement then the rest of the belt

[regal socket]

I'm generating 905ish mg of coal power and I'm only using 500 mg why does my fuse keep blowing??

[dreamy geyser]

Sometimes I do weird clipping stuff for aesthetics, and it usually requires the belt to be down first. So I just do it that way.

[vague ginkgo]

Accidental seperate power grids?
Generators turning off and not 100% efficent?
Dorment production lines waking up causing consumption spikes?

[native rover]

Can you send a pic of your power chart?

[regal socket]

Ohhh I'm using coal on the other side of the lake and those are off

[vague ginkgo]

Haha in that case its just good to know the game does this sometimes. Makes troubleshooting next time way easier

I dont really care about it either, especially with input lines where I know I wont be upgrading belts ever

[regal socket]

I fixed it. I was math with my total of coal power plants instead of active plants

[dreamy geyser]

I get lots of weird little bugs like that. Nothing ever to really put me off the game, but I have noticed that sometimes also lifts don't properly connect to whatever you're attaching them to. I actually just realized when it does link successfully, it plays a little sound.

[vague ginkgo]

I hate connecting lifts to splitters and mergers

I feel like there is 0 visual indicator if its connected or not

[native rover]

they can also visually connect successfully in more than one way

and the unconnected ones don't look visually distinct from the connected ones 🙂

[vague ginkgo]

Good to know its not just me haha

Thanks, I will do.

[regal socket]

Is it smart to make a backup power source with a bunch of batteries or like a secondary power source

[surreal lichen]

If you want to, sure. (it's "Power Storage" instead of "Battery" btw; there's a separate item called "battery")

There's also a Priority Power Switch you can unlock in the MAM which can let you only have parts of your factory go offline if you trip a breaker

In the end, the best way to manage power (IMO) is to keep an eye on your power usage and make sure that your Max Consumption never gets close to your Production. Whenever I've got like 1/3 or 1/4 left to go, I go build more power so I've got a lot of headroom. :)

But folks like building backup systems (I do too!) so go for it if you want to

[plucky sonnet]

I ran the whole of my first 4 phases up to doing nuclear with my max consumption way way above my production. I am not sure why - guess it was a combination of not running machines unless needed but having them sat there plus a lot of trains. I read somewhere that stations take a max draw but you never run them all at once.

Just saying - max consumption was almost a meaningless figure for me. My actual consumption was under half of it just before my nuclear came online, Now my nuclear power is up and running and I have 160GB production, I am going to go and add more awesome sinks back in my phase 4 factories that I didn't dare leave running because of such a high max consumption...

1.2

Experimental is just for PC

[orchid pivot]

I have a question. I'm on PS5. If I put several factories together with just conveyor belts, like 10 belts of 3 km each, would that cause a lot of lag, or would it be better to use trains?

[spiral lily]

how would you even use trains when the entire map is full of mountains? Bauxite on a mountain while copper on the ground 💀

[random relic]

1. follow natural roads
2. bridges
3. lifts

you don't always have to bring the railway all the way to the node, or do everything by rail

[vocal badger]

bring it to a cliff and drop it by belt

or process it on top and drone it down

What belts are needed to move all the ore from a mk 2 miner

Mk 2?

[modern heart]

Depends on node purity

Check the miner's description

It states the speed for normal nodes

Pure nodes double that, Impure ones halve it

[regal socket]

And normal is the amount it says?

[robust crypt]

When you place a miner open the miners GUI. It will tell you how much ore it give per minute. Match it with a belt that is adequate. You can also over clock or under clock the miner to change the output

Need to overclock it to match the mk4 belts

With my friend we can't meet despite the fact that we are friends on EPIC Games

While he's on PS five and I'm on Xbox

you can try reinstalling the game or checking internet settings.
otherwise, there is no known fix for that issue atm really

[rose dock]

Do you know this problem

Already try

[modern heart]

nothing left then

There is no known fix

[rose dock]

I don't understand we pay €31 the game so that in the end it's not at the forefront

[modern heart]

it doesnt happen to many people.
so its not a very frequent issue.

and there is no real known cause.
So also no known fix that the developers know of, as of now
they ARE trying to fix it. But we dont know when

[surreal lichen]

Yeah, crossplay between PS + Xbox works fine for most folks using the game, but some folks seem to have problems, alas

Can doublecheck that you're following the steps described at #faq message perhaps

Bonjour des français ici?

Here is fine, or #1038092680493801533 if you'd also like to attach screenshots and such (screenshots are often helpful for diagnosing train problems)

[primal grove]

Well my issue is loading things onto the freight platform

I don’t think I’ll need image proof, but I recently unlocked monorail tech and my fuel I’m loading into the platform won’t go in

It was working perfectly fine before I re attached the railway to the platform so

Now it’s loading onto the platform since I got rid of the train ?

[primal grove]

I fixed one platform I was able to dock onto it but now my other platform is acting up

[rose isle]

I haven’t actually seen anyone explicitly say that cross console play has been working fine

I’ve only heard ppl recount that same console play has been working (sometimes only half working)

[rose isle]

Neither, I’m in the same boat as you mate

[modern heart]

the devs have stated before that those who get things to work rarely report how they got it working / they dont say "everything is fine"

Most people that come here come due to console issues, not because everything is fine
the devs do have some statistics in the background on how well things are actually working though, which is where the "only a fraction of console players are affected by this bug" info comes from

If not, just build a big ramp?

[ebon coral]

Hmm. Can you build them anywhere?

[tired sapphire]

Well, you can build them down there.

But that is just a death pit

I don't think you can recover that without loading the save into an external tool, which I believe is impossible on console.

[ebon coral]

Yeah, oh well, I guess I'll just chalk that up to experience.

If im already in a save (for example im in my creative save), am i going to be able to "update" it with 1.2 settings or am I going to have to start over?

[surreal lichen]

Your game will still work fine (though it's always good to make backups just in case there's something weird)

You can always load a save from a lower-numbered version of the game in a higher-numbered version of the game

You can even load saves from the very first public versions of the game, still, though due to map/recipe/machine changes it's unlikely a factory that old would actually work still. :)

[uneven jolt]

If i can load this 1.1 into a 1.2 save and change the node purity that would be fire cause I've put in a lot of work on this

[surreal lichen]

That you won't be able to do; the node purity/randomization stuff can only be set on a new game

(On PC you can load the save into a save editor to change it, but obvs that's more problematic on console)

[uneven jolt]

Damn it...
Ok

[ebon coral]

What do I need to unlock to fly around like in a lot of the YouTube videos I see. They've got two hand controllers and I can't seem to find where they come from.

[surreal lichen]

That's the Hoverpack; available in Tier 7 (Phase 4)

There's also the jetpack, available earlier than that but doesn't hover in the same way but is quite useful

Or you could enable Advanced Game Settings and turn on Fly Mode, if you don't mind not getting achivements

[frail meadow]

We cool like that

[surreal lichen]

I mean you could look at the channel description. ```
We've decided to open this channel that's available for console related talks. This does not mean that console stuff is prohibited in ⁠the other channels! Those channels are still open for all general discussions surrounding the game! But if you have questions or topics you wanna raise with emphasis about the gameplay experience on Xbox or PlayStation, feel free to use this space. We're hoping this gives both you guys and our team a more dedicated channel to track and address console concerns as they come in. Like on a conveyor belt. Get it?

[misty ferry]

Because you guys don't have lumen, mods, shareable blueprints, save editing, etc.

different button layouts obv as well

whats for console then

[lilac edge]

please don't shift the goal posts when you're losing an argument 😛

the main point is why console exist not whats exclusive for pc so

[lilac edge]

• consoles have their own quirks
• experimental releases have their own quirks
• dedicated servers have their own quirks

Not sure why this rubs you the wrong way; at this point the right thing to do is drop it

-# and for that we typically direct people to a totally different server, not just a separate channel. :)

And we can't even play together

Can't share blueprints or world saves

[subtle cedar]

No, I read it now tho

[subtle cedar]

Well am only asking am not pissed about it

[sleek crescent]

I really wish we had a global blueprint system. So you can make blueprints and use them in any save. I hate having to remake blueprints

[regal socket]

Yeah

[kindred mica]

online bp downloader built into the game would be cool too

The ability to move blueprints between saves is something I could see CSS maybe doing; it's not really what they intend for the blueprint system, but on PC it's always been a case of "well, you can copy the files if you want to." An option for console folks would, indeed, be nice. As for an online downloader, that's well outside of what CSS actually wants the BPs to be used for, so I wouldn't hold my breath for that. :)

Satisfactory's for playing, not just copy+pasting someone else's factories. :)
