satisfactory-consoles

[muted torrent]

Hey Pioneers!

We've decided to open this channel that's available for console related talks. This does not mean that console stuff is prohibited in #satisfactory; that channel is 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?

[deep sequoia]

First!

[brave vortex]

Second

[pale canopy]

5th!

[pale canopy]

Also, I hope you have a fantastic weekend Mikael! You all deserve it! Extremely excited for what’s coming next:)🫂 ❤️

So glad this game is on Xbox - plays great. I'm addicted all over again.

Only 2 issues ive found were with missing controls.

1. Can't do the trick with the catwalks to make circles because there is no mouse-wheel to spin/option on the controller interface

2. I can't lock the zip line to the cables - it requires holding down the right trigger. A real bummer for long stretches of powerline. on PC I could right click the mouse after attaching I think to stick to the line.

[tacit cypress]

🔴

[mighty jetty]

Isn't there a toggle option for this in the options? So you just press once and stay attached? I rarely used the zipline on ps5 so can't be sure

[burnt river]

I'm playing multilayer with one of my friends on Ps5, it keeps crashing and the ping/lag is bad. Any fixes?

[rugged musk]

I could use help from some people if possible for animal killing, in need of dna, willing to trade help on your map

[burnt river]

Is there any fix for this or anything? He has to restart his game every time it happens

[open cedar]

thank u coffeestain fors todays patch for the steam deck.
very nice changes and save fix.

[karmic scroll]

Welcome Folks! <33

[lilac edge]

@muted torrent suggestion: pinning a link to the console FAQ

[vocal gyro]

Will come on Tuesday

[deep sequoia]

Oooo

[topaz basalt]

Also setting a topic/headline line would probably be good, to include very summarized version of this.

Like the other channels have.

[surreal lichen]

#1201555265942724758 presumably remains the best venue to do that kind of thing, btw

[prisma glade]

Yo, j'ai fait un groupe avec que de fr, survie chill tous les niveaux d'expérience sont acceptés du noob au grand singe savant 🙂

[lilac edge]

a: #1201555265942724758
b: english-only server (I forget if lfg posts are counted as english-only)

[surreal helm]

Just got the game 2 days ago and it's can't put it down... 😭

It's becoming a real problem. Idk who's freaking idea it was to bring this game to console, but they should be taken out back and beat like a red headed step child because I do NOT have the willpower to put it down... 😅

Lol seriously though, big props to the developers, absolutely great game! Can't wait to continue to dive into it and discover new, more efficient ways of doing things.

[tulip finch]

Realll, bought it on release and already have 55 hours

[tulip finch]

I do them at the same time :3

[charred lily]

I'm having trouble getting a multiplayer world up, is there a option where anyone can join cuz I only see either friends or invite only. On PS5

[tender steeple]

loving this game

[frozen widget]

I'm thinking about getting satisfactory on Tuesday, I like games like hydroneer but does it have a similar building automation vibe or is it more manual working on the machines?

[tulip finch]

From my experience in the beginning its mainly by hand but you unlock more stuff and you can choose to basically automate everything

[frozen widget]

Similar to hydroneer then?

Other than the mining part obiously

[tulip finch]

I havent played hydroneer but if you like building your own factories or machine you will definitely like this game

[frozen widget]

I like conveyor belts and stuff that might finally be able to crash my console

It's funny

Will this break my console?

If I want it to?

[tulip finch]

I think it could but the game is really optimised

[frozen widget]

Lol ok that'll do

I look forward to the slow ass download speeds om Tuesday lol

[surreal lichen]

From what I've seen of Hydroneer (mostly just LGIO clips), Satisfctory is a very different vibe

Hydroneer's got various kind of gamey elements going on, whereas Satisfactory's quite focused on the actual factory automation angle

(like, you're not contending with item physics or "buying" items from a shop or whatever)

[frozen widget]

Ok thanks sorry I didn't see the message

[surreal lichen]

Heh, no worries; Internet chat is often highly asynchronous

[frozen widget]

I have another question

I keep seeing huge base builds

Assuming the player is abt 1m, how much space would an endgame build take?

10k?

[lilac edge]

July 9th, 2024 Livestream
Q&A: If Foundations are 4m tall, does that mean the Pioneer is 15 feet tall?
https://youtu.be/CNZbsMVk5jg

I think the Pioneer is 180 cm or 170 or something like that we have the default like on real size for the character

[frozen widget]

Yh im just trying to get a comparison tho

Just for scale yk

[lilac edge]

for scale? try not to get scared/put off by what you're about to click on https://communityhighlights.satisfactory.video/meta-search/?q=megafactory+OR+spaghett

[frozen widget]

Is that all the stuff I can build?

Noice

[lilac edge]

checks if there's any highlights with every production building in

[frozen widget]

Also I see there's a channel for the story, can you play after you finish it?

[lilac edge]

pretty sure yes, but haven't finished so can't confirm

[lilac edge]

(there's not)

[frozen widget]

Ok lol thanks

[solar abyss]

Does anyone know if you can copy friends save files and make them your own on console?

[mossy forum]

as big as you are willing to put the time in to make it

[zinc crag]

Maybe spoiler idk, but
|| A hog... had a jetpack and now i somehow have one. I have no idea what the heck just happened. ||

[dusty lance]

I love this game so much and have 1000+ hours in it already on PC and just got it for the console now too. It's great but please add keyboard/mouse for Console! .. or allow PC/Console cross play!.. Or better yet both! 🙂

[zinc crag]

I just want to be able to manually type in clock speeds instead of the nudge system thats in right now for console. I love the pc version better, being able to type extremely specific %'s

[surreal lichen]

||Congrats, you ran into Johnny! And yeah, he drops a jetpack on death. Pretty rare spawn, so you're lucky!||

[opaque cargo]

Hey guys, I hate to ask what’s probably a common question, but how do I change the direction I’ll go in the hypertube branches? I’m going through and can’t seem to figure that out (PS5)

[kindred beacon]

I think it's Square to change lanes. You'll see the other tube branch start blinking.

[zinc crag]

I have over a thousand hours and i dont recall ever seeing him before it was so unexpected 🤣

[serene onyx]

Will we have Dedicated Servers for the Game on Consoles

[topaz basalt]

Not being planned right now based on current dev comments about that.

So use QA site to ask for that in large enough numbers

[serene onyx]

But is it on the table though because I have friends who are in other time zones so our timing is a short window of like maybe an hour at most was wondering if a friend could join the Multiplayer world without me once they are invited into it.. because most servers requires the Host to be on

[warm seal]

Hello guys, do you know if it is possible on console to half nudge like in PC by holding right CTRL ?

[mighty basalt]

is there a way to know the length of a pipe?

[raw pier]

the pipe has a volume which can tell you how long it is but why do you need to know the length?

[mighty basalt]

like I see it say "often" that it will transport water 10m upwards... past that I need a pump right? Thats why i want to know...

[raw pier]

thats only height

you dont need to keep track of it bcs the pumps tell you

when you are about to build a pump it will highlint where you should place one

[mighty basalt]

oh ok ty

[raw pier]

you cant use that for headlift

when your building pumps. look at a pipe and you will have a outline where the current headlift ends and thats where you place the pump

[topaz basalt]

Better to place a tiny bit below.
That snappoint is at the absolute max distance, that is over the nominal distance.
And sometimes causes issues because of rounding errors or like.

Where production machines are 10m nominal, 12m absolute max with no marker.
Mk1 pipeline pump is 20m nominal, 22m absolute max.
Mk2 pipeline pump is 50m nominal, 55m absolute max.

And the UI of pipeline pumps shows the highest the fluid after it hits, where you cannot differentiate between being at that absolute max, and over the max.
So 21.9m and 54.9m are the highest that are "safe" to have in that pump UI.

Safe currently.
And 19.9m and 49.9m are max that are safe to any undocumented changes to that absolute max rating, as that is just current implementation and 10/20/50m are the official max ratings.

But the normal methods to place the first real pump are to either use walls as yardstick, or place a temporary pump at the outlet level and use its UI to place the real pump.

[mighty basalt]

are there any consequences to "flushing" out liquids?

[topaz basalt]

No.

Just makes the fluid go poof.

[robust crypt]

just the pain of flushing and loosing the product being flushed

[mighty basalt]

So I'm a newbie... And I found myself in this black hole... So I need plastic for base related stuff... but to make plastic, I have this liquid I need to store. All my tanks fill up, and can't make anymore plastic... So I see that you can put the liquid into empty canister, but to make those you need plastic.

So all I was doing there for a moment was making plastic to store the liquid in cannisters. Which completely defied the reason I'm making plastic in the first place...

So I flushed my tanks... lol

[topaz basalt]

Set up second refinery that uses that heavy oil residue and converts it into petroleum coke.
And then either burn that in coal generators, or sink it.

Don't use the plastic recipe that produces fuel as other output, but that heavy oil residue.

[solar abyss]

Anyone trying to start a save together or play

[mighty basalt]

is it possible its the only one I have atm?... Like its the polymer Resin that is making this orange fuel... which is what I am using to make plastic (the resin, not the fuel)

[topaz basalt]

Use the "Plastic" recipe, that uses crude oil and outputs plastic and heavy oil residue.

Not "Residual Plastic" or "Recycled Plastic" recipes.

[mighty basalt]

ahh ok

I understand

[topaz basalt]

And then that heavy oil residue can be converted into petroleum coke and dealt with.

[charred lily]

Can anyone please explain to me how I can add friends from the game without having to go to the mobile app? Because the mobile app doesn't have any type of friend list features available.

And I don't currently have a PC that's plugged in with network available.

[onyx oasis]

Is this for console

[onyx oasis]

Can't do pc and Xbox on one world

[topaz basalt]

Basically question is how to add Epic account friends without PC.

Possibly with any browser, either on the console or on mobile.
And not any Epic app.

[charred lily]

Yes that

That's what I was asking

[lilac edge]

<@&370483737957236737> if people want stuff answered in the Console FAQ, is it QA Site or CM ping?

[topaz basalt]

But no ingame way.
As the game is just using Epic Online Services, not implementing anything else.
On PC that was through Epic Overlay during the game, or via Epic Launcher outside of it.

But neither is available on consoles.

So it then goes to any other ways that Epic has implemented to do it, so their website when logged in is best bet, if their mobile software doesn't allow it.

[simple vector]

Anyone else seen the bean without the walking animation?

[reef mist]

Yes! And my bean started moonwalking like a boss!

I want to capture one of them, they’re so cute!

[dusty lance]

you could always play fortnite together and add each others Epic accounts there 🙂

[reef mist]

Hey, I’m looking for someone who’s be up to appearing in a stream! I’m on PS5. Please be atleast phase 4.. I need help with phase 3, getting oil production up.

[surreal lichen]

#1201555265942724758 is, I think, still the best place to arrange that kind of thing even for consoles

[reef mist]

I’ve tried.

[reef mist]

I can’t find anyone.

[surreal lichen]

The people who want to be playing multiplayer will be looking in that channel. If you don't have luck there, you won't have luck elsewhere, etc

And the reason there's a separate channel for it is that the mods want to have all that chatter in one place instead of in the main discussion channels

[reef mist]

I’ve made so many, and barely found people, and the people who do play only join for maybe 20 mins before leaving..

[surreal lichen]

It has historically been difficult to find reliable strangers to play with on the Discord, from what I understand

But regardless of how hard you're finding it: the correct place to be looking is #1201555265942724758 , not here (or any of the other channels)

[reef mist]

To be completely honest, I couldn’t care less.

[surreal lichen]

You're not having bad luck because the people who would otherwise want to play with you are in this channel; you're having bad luck because the population of people who want to play multiplayer at all is, AFAIK, relatively small (and very much geared towards people who want others to join their server and not the other way around, when they do exist)

[reef mist]

What does AFAIK mean?

[surreal lichen]

As Far As I Know

[reef mist]

Ah.

[surreal lichen]

I mean, if you continue to flaunt server rules openly, eventually a moderator will notice. Obviously just asking the once isn't gonna cause any problems, but if you care about continuing to chat in a Discord server, you're best served by following the server rules. 🤷

[lost olive]

I know this has already probably been asked. However, I’ve been getting very frustrated. I can’t get the cross play to work between PS5 and Xbox.

[lost olive]

Be glad to help if you still need it

[reef mist]

DMs

[limber nebula]

Hiii

[surreal lichen]

#1201555265942724758 is the best place to be arranging that, btw

[halcyon tide]

Yea sorry

I just saw that

Ty mate

This game has literally taken over my life

60 hours past 4 days

Ive unlocked gaspower and set up a full gaspowered plant pumping put 20k mw

Now im revamping my entire factory

[royal galleon]

Nah, thats so relatable

Im 40 hours in within like three

Watched too many letsgameitout videos not to buy it

[halcyon tide]

Yes bro

Me and my gomie have been asking over night

Like we are stacked

U solo?

[royal galleon]

Yuuup

[halcyon tide]

Would yoy like to join us sometimes?

Qe play literally every day

[royal galleon]

Where you based?

[halcyon tide]

Im in canada hes in wisconsin

[royal galleon]

Shit, going all over, im from england

[halcyon tide]

Still west coast no?

I really dk my geography im aorry

I like history not maps🤣

[royal galleon]

Haha, don't worry about it

The UK

Place of tea and crumpets

[halcyon tide]

I mean hey it could work

We can try it out!

[royal galleon]

My best friend lives in cali so aye why not

[solar abyss]

Anyone know if console will ever be able to download other people's save files to play their worlds

[halcyon tide]

Let's do it bro!

[royal galleon]

Won't be on tonight as its 2am but should be free some point tomorrow

[halcyon tide]

My names viper

[royal galleon]

Console and PC work very different file wise

I'm YouTube, but feel free to call me anything you feel fits

What stage you at in the game?

[solar abyss]

Are y'all making a long term server? And I know I really want to be able to check out other people's worlds without having to play their actual save

[solar abyss]

Stage 3 rn

[royal galleon]

Ahead of me

Just set up my oil factories to make plastic and rubber

[solar abyss]

I meant I'm working on s getting 3

I'm at 2 rn

[royal galleon]

Ah, same same

[solar abyss]

If y'all are looking for long term teamates id be down to join I'm mainly trying to get a feel for the game rn

[royal galleon]

Im 40 hours in right now and a lot of it comes down to thinking of how to make all your machines work efficiently

As well as waiting.

A lot.

[solar abyss]

I'm waiting on frames rn I'm planning on moving bases after this stage so I don't want to make any extra huge factory's rn

I want to get a teammate but it's hard because everyone want to play their own world because how early the game is on console

[royal galleon]

I have a frame and reinforced iron plate factory. A steel factory for pipes and the other steel thingy. I then have a factory for plastic, rubber and the next level of coal thingy

[solar abyss]

I got the alt recipe for steel pipes so all I use is iron ingots

I hate looking for crash sites dude it's such a pain

[royal galleon]

Go to the purple place, dangerous as fluff but has tons

Game be beautiful in 4k icl

[solar abyss]

I'm waiting till I have a good fuel source for jet pack so I can just fly around and get them all

[royal galleon]

You got oil yet?

[solar abyss]

I'm waiting till I move to set it up

Im using my huge ass coal plant rn

You got any recommendations for a main base spot I'm struggling to pick

[royal galleon]

Man, I'll be honest, I aint really got one. I currently have three proper factories and thats it really

[solar abyss]

Lol it's a struggle out here I'ma just find a large flat area and build my mega factory

[royal galleon]

Nah fr

[void minnow]

anyone on xbos tryna play a new save

[somber pine]

Deos a anyone know a .com for Blueprints that dont require download for xbox at all?

I've seen ones for PC but requires download files

[novel kindle]

Ps5 new save anyone?

[surreal lichen]

My own recommendation is to try and avoid thinking in terms of a "main base" altogether, btw. You'll find that centralizing with a megabase is actually a lot harder than you think it'll be. Expanding with outposts is often a lot easier, and will be kinder to your FPS to boot. :)

(Though maybe console optimizations will help with that eventual FPS hit)

[viscid jungle]

me and my brother are getting the "unable to join user backend sessions." error, first time buying the game today on PS5... anyone know a fix?

[rugged musk]

Would anyone be willing to help a newbie for a few please? I need help hunting and gathering for bio? Can’t chat in voice

[surreal lichen]

#1201555265942724758 is probably your best bet

[storm steppe]

Is there a way to remove boulders that are on ore nodes?

[elfin hinge]

Explosions!!

[sweet bay]

=

[rugged musk]

I would but not opening a ticket to wait for responses so I’ll ask here and engage

[pure hamlet]

what do u need help with

u want people to actually get on and play with u ?

[crimson mesa]

Anyone reached world build height by any chance for the trophy?

[pure kindle]

Ik it’s like only just came out recently but how long until console can get mods?

[topaz basalt]

Very unlikely to happen at all.

[pure kindle]

Yea true that

Do you know if there’s a easier way to make sure scim uses machines to their fullest potential or do I have to manually figure it out?

[modern heart]

theres no setting for that - thats up to you

[patent siren]

bro i might be the stupidest guy alive. Im 15 hours in an i just figured out you dont need a bio burner for each machine and you can hook them up to one bio burner

[modern heart]

power poles are great

[patent siren]

they are

[surreal lichen]

Phrased differently: that's the channel the moderators want people to use to arrange multiplayer. :)

[rugged musk]

That would be why I asked if anyone would join me yes, and sorry gummies hit and I passed out

[surreal helm]

Ive seen a few different videos where people are hovering above what they are building so they have a better view. Not sure if its on pc or not but do we have this ability? I can't seem to figure out how.

[topaz basalt]

Tier 7 equipment

[surreal helm]

Ahh, gotcha, thanks!

[surreal lichen]

There's also "Advanced Game Settings" where you can enable fly mode whenever you want, though on PC at least, that'll disable achievements for that save

(I assume that exists on consoles too)

[surreal helm]

Hmm, ill look into that. Thanks

[surreal lichen]

Though for a first playthrough I'd recommend holding out for hoverpack

[surreal helm]

Yeah im going to. That would just be a sandbox mode thing

[brave plover]

Does someone know if we will be able to buy servers to play on in the future?

[topaz basalt]

Based on current community manager comments, not currently planned for consoles to have dedicated server option.
Request on QA site if you want that.

!qa

And is the bot dead or not enabled here...

[neon willow]

Hi how do I change interface language on PS5?
My kid started a game with a different language and played a few minutes.

Now I switched back the console to English and want to start my main game but the interface is still in the previous language.
How do I change that?

[high jacinth]

Can multiple portable miners be used on one spot?

I'm literally brand new. Just finished hub uograde 6

[topaz basalt]

No idea if same on consoles, but on PC:
Options, Gameplay, Language

[neon willow]

Yes it's in Gameplay, thanks!
(was looking in Interface)

[topaz basalt]

And you could have already tested that yourself?
But there is no limit for amount of portable miners on a node.

[ivory gale]

Expect space 🤣

[topaz basalt]

They can be inside each other, as long as you get the prompt for the node to deploy.

[high jacinth]

Why yes I could have but I only made 1 and didn't even think about it until I was strong at this slow ass limestone

[lost kernel]

Anyone else's lights not do anything? They turn on and off but they don't add any light to a room.

[shy canopy]

I wrote two things in the schematic creator. Where will I find them now to build them?

Aaaa okay. I already know what the problem is. I did lvl 2 and I didn't do lvl 1 and in lvl 1 is the thing needed for this

[surreal lichen]

Yeah, it'd be nice if you could load blueprints from lower-tier blueprinters into higher-tier blueprinters, but alas

You should be able to actually place the mk1-created blueprint inside the mk2 blueprinter and then edit it from there (which, when saved, would be a mk2 blueprint then)

[versed hatch]

I’m at tier 6 now, and I’ve never used blueprints. I don’t really get how they’re used.

[undone fulcrum]

How do you switch ammo types on PS5? I've even tried dropping my other ammo types and reequipping the rifle but it's still stuck on basic ammo after making Homing ammo.

[surreal lichen]

On PC you do it by holding down R. No clue what the console equivalent is, but I assume it too would be holding something down

(So if you've not tried that, give it a go. :)

[undone fulcrum]

I assume R is reload but on console holding R is auto-grab.

[surreal lichen]

Basically: if you notice that there's something that you build frequently, it might be nice to have it in a blueprint

Like I'll generally have a blueprint with 4x constructors all manifolded up the way I want

Or 3x Assemblers, etc (quantities depend on how much room there is with the blueprinter I have unlocked, etc)

And I'll often have one which is just 1x of the same so I can do partials

Or you can use them for stuff like train-support pillars

Or a one-click "panic" bunker you can slap down if you find yourself mobbed by hostile enemies you can't deal with

Lots of other possibilities too, of course. :)

[surreal lichen]

Really what I just meant was that maybe you can find out by holding down various buttons until you get the ammo-switch dialog. :)

Unless you've tried that already, of course

[undone fulcrum]

Pretty sure I tried them all.

[surreal lichen]

Ah, not sure then, sorry!

[undone fulcrum]

I found it... the only button I didn't hit I gues... Down on D-pad.

[surreal lichen]

Heh, intuitive! Glad you found it, though

[versed hatch]

Thank you!

[lilac edge]

Frequently enough that taking the time out to build it as a blueprint would be worth doing*

-# cos some things are built so quickly that blueprinting them would take more effort

[surreal lichen]

Need a bot for xkcd.com/1205. :D

[white maple]

can you help me understand the chart

-# I'm wasting valuable seconds here

[undone fulcrum]

Anyone else having issues with the Varied Eater trophy not triggering AND the Ficsit Factory Cart schematic not unlocking on PS5?

[nova night]

Low key so happy to see satisfactory on console it’s been very fun i played way back in the early stages before i binned the pc for a console and every since I’ve been hoping it would come that has been answered and did not disappoint

[high jacinth]

I'm a glorious idiot just playing the game. Fun so far..can't wait to set up my other basic resource nodes tomorrow

[serene onyx]

Satisfactory is crashing a bit again on Multiplayer on Consoles again

[lost olive]

Yes with Nobelisk

[lost olive]

Hold left on D Pad I believe

[lost olive]

Happy to get on and build a few in your world so you understand them.

[limpid sand]

My friend keeps crashing 30 seconds in when he joins

Ps5

[lost olive]

Mine did this in the first multiplayer match I joined I reset everything and it went away but still had minor lag here and there

[limpid sand]

Reset the world?

[harsh kernel]

Anyone else blue screen while placing blueprints?

[lost olive]

I reset my Internet and my console

[elfin oak]

I found a coal node with the purity (temp)

[outer ermine]

Anyone else having issues where crafting recipes are claiming they consume a certain amount of water, but they actually don't.

[topaz basalt]

In which screen?
Codex per cycle numbers are 1000 times too large, in liters and not in m^2.
And for others, remember to look at the per minute numbers, not the per cycle numbers for most part.

[sly mortar]

is someone herr playing on console?

I just need help with those water pipes

[vocal gyro]

You can find the Console FAQ here: #faq message

[pure hamlet]

Has anyoned managed to get the brightness/saturation sliders to go above 1 ?

[versed hatch]

Worth going for Caterium Circuit Board?

I’m at tier 5/6, and starting to go after HD to find good recipes. For that, any recipes I should really chase after if I see it?

[surreal lichen]

Try not to think of recipes as "good" or "bad" -- all recipes are at least situationally useful.

[mellow stirrup]

some of them are wise to use. others useless thought.

[surreal lichen]

They're just there to give you options whgile building. For instance, Caterium Circut Board lets you use Caterium instead of Copper, so if you're making circuit boards somewhere where you have Caterium but not Copper, then yeah, that might be a great recipe to use there

[mellow stirrup]

https://www.reddit.com/r/SatisfactoryGame/comments/1fekus9/alternate_recipe_ranking_10_optimizing_for this dude took the time to calculate what benefit most.

[surreal lichen]

The one way of categorizing them which is a bit better is "generalist" versus "specialist/niche." It's true that some recipes are more generally applicable than others. But even the niche ones will have plenty of fans. It's all about the specific needs of the factory you're building right now. (Whew, slowmode be tight in this channel! :D)

[lilac edge]

that's what editing messages is for.

can work around the slowmode

muahahahahaha

[surreal lichen]

The problem with lists like that is that even though they try to make it sound objective, the rankings carry a lot of subjective opinion to them. You've got to agree with exactly how they rank resources, you have to agree that those resource rankings are the main thing you care about, you have to hope that those rankings apply to the location where you're actually building the factory, etc.

[lilac edge]

recipe ranks are nonsense if you don't know what you're doing, because they lead you down a specific path and don't allow for discovery.

recipe ranks are also nonsense if you do know what you're doing, because you've already figured what works out.

[versed hatch]

ooo. Thanks very much. I’m just trying to finish tier 5/6 then ignoring the next step for space elevator, as I want to try and make a good factory. While it’s pretty good atm, I’m not automating a lot of stuff either. I tend to handcraft a lot.

[surreal lichen]

They try to give the impression that they're supplying objective numerically-backed proof of whether a recipe is "good" or "bad" but it's full of hidden subjective decisions which don't necessarily apply to whatever you're doing. For myself, there's vanishingly few recipes that I've never used. And it's not necessary to choose anyway -- there's more hard drives than you can use. Just get all the recipes. :)

[mellow stirrup]

its still a good guideline.

[surreal lichen]

Honestly I disagree. The best recipe for the factory you're building is the one which most suits that factory's location and your preferences, and that's something no tier list is ever gonna be able to tell you. For every recipe which gets "S tier" on a list like that, you'll have plenty of people who don't like it, and for every recipe that gets an F or whatever, you'll find folks who love it and use it all the time

[lilac edge]

☝️

[versed hatch]

Oh, I don’t have to worry about using up HD for like compacted coal and stuff?

[surreal lichen]

Correct; you'll have a surplus of drives by the end of the game (so long as you keep up with your exploration). And you can always even buy hard drives from the AWESOME shop eventually if you don't feel like exploring. (Also: Compacted Coal is a foundational recipe for some very powerful resource chains. Unlocking Compacted is far from wasteful. See? :D)

[versed hatch]

Ha, fair enough. I’m just getting overwhelmed with a lot of stuff unlocking, and not sure how to set things up properly. I haven’t even touch trains or a lot of transport options, outside of hypertube, which I only started to use, lmao.

It can be overwhelming sometimes

[surreal lichen]

Oh, one other thing and then I'll shut up about it : The other problem with tier lists is that it's difficult/impossible to judge a recipe in isolation; what's far more important is the recipe chain you're using for your factory. A recipe that's "bad" when paired with some other recipes might shine when paired with others, etc

[surreal lichen]

Heh, yeah, the game can definitely be overwhelming at times. Take heart that apart from early-game biofuel collection, there's literally no "pressure!" You've got infinite time, infinite resources, factories don't break down, you get all resources back when you dismantle stuff, etc. Folks can take literally hundreds of hours to finish a playthrough -- you can definitely just take stuff at your own pace, engage with the stuff you want to engage with and ignore the stuff you don't. :)

(And, of course, despite our usual "recipe tier lists are bad" spiels, it's not like you're gonna ruin your playthrough if you do decide to follow a list's recommendations, etc. :)

[versed hatch]

Oh, 100%. I’ve sunk 60 hours in this walkthrough already, and ngl, 20 hours of that is redesigning the factory over and over to be more efficient. I’m in no rush. I can absolutely see how addictive this game is.

[surreal lichen]

(And, as a corollary: there are definitely some opinions about the game which tend to get expressed somewhat forcefully on this server. But it's your game you're playing, so just 'cause some loudmouths like myself disagree with something doesn't mean you can't have fun doing it. So long as you're having fun, you're playing it right. :P)

[lilac edge]

[insert reference to the terribly sad people that are butthurt that hypertube canons are condoned by css]

-# see also people who take issue with pineapple on pizza

[surreal lichen]

I'm definitely guilty of the forceful-opinion-expressing at times, though I hope I try to keep stuff in the realm of "but that's just my opinion." Success at that may vary. :P

[lilac edge]

if one has to mention buts when referring to one's opinions, one's opinions may be from butts.

Hey everyone! I’m building on PlayStation, and I’m wondering if anyone has been able to figure out how to get circular building to work. I seem to only be able to rotate in 45 degrees unlike the small angle rotations you can make on PC. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

[storm steppe]

Whats the best fuel for jetpacks?

[surreal lichen]

In the midgame, your best bets are Liquid Biofuel (very long horizontal range, and surprisingly high (if slow) vertical range) or Turbofuel (not nearly as much horizontal range, but much quicker vertical ascents (though technically less than LBF)). Remember that whatever fuel you use, repeatedly tapping on thrust gives you a lot more range than holding down

After that point, IMO, Rocket Fuel is a good substitute for Turbofuel, and then Ionized Fuel is a great substitute for either. (I think LBF technically still has more range, but practically I found I didn't notice)

Often it seems like the meta is LBF, though personally I've found that I stick to the Turbo->Rocket->Ionized line unless I'm very specifically looking to float horizontally a long ways. Even Turbo often gives me enough horizontal to go where I want. In practice I tend to keep a stack of each onhand and switch as needed

[versed hatch]

Just came across my first movie reference. Planet of the Apes. Haha

[regal lodge]

Anybody wanna play on a new world?

[timber ibex]

So i have been having a problem where when me and a friend are on together after a few seconds i blue screen. Iv done every reset in the book but my mate doesn't get those issues and i dont get them on my solo world. Anyone have any clue 🤣

[halcyon tide]

Have it too but I just reset the game close it and join back

[timber ibex]

It is doing it every time i load in

[halcyon tide]

What did you build to cook your ssd? Lmaooo

[surreal helm]

Id try a mp mode for anyone that has been looking. Still fairly new. Just unlocked trains and the jet pack on my own.

[timber ibex]

I dont think so. I think its the blueprints struggling

[halcyon tide]

If you wanna keep that world solo you can join up on me and a friend were close to nuclear power well 4 days off prolly private message me bri

[surreal helm]

Thats leaps and bounds above anything ive done. 😅

[regal lodge]

@surreal helm I'll join I've always played solo

[halcyon tide]

It'll be a good learning point for your solo world

[surreal helm]

I was thinking the same thing. Give me a few, having a smoke break and then ill join

[surreal helm]

I was thinking of starting a new mp file if anything. Im too ocd on my first one to bring anyone in I dont know yet. 😅😅

[halcyon tide]

Rashad u on ps5?

[regal lodge]

@surreal helm I feel the same 🤣 I'm down for a new world and @halcyon tide yea

[surreal helm]

I need to find oil. Any accuracy to some of the maps youll find online?

[halcyon tide]

Yes The satisfactory calculator will be your best friend

[regal lodge]

@surreal helm The map is the same from pc so all the resources are in the same spots

[timber ibex]

So think we figured it out. We ran back a save before the blueprints was placed n built ect. And im fine. So we are gonna delete it and try see if it fixes it 😭

[halcyon tide]

LMAOOO OKOK good to knoe

[surreal helm]

Yeah I discovered the calculator last night and made sure to bookmark it

[regal lodge]

@surreal helm I started a mp server if you want to join my psn is the same

[timber ibex]

Ill let you know when its all destroyed 🤣🤣

[regal lodge]

@halcyon tide I would like to take a peak at your server I've never made ot to nuclear power

[halcyon tide]

Not there yet close tho

[surreal helm]

Yeah im half thinking about checking that out as well first...

you get larger power towers for longer distance but the poles are still for building to building

[surreal helm]

Ive just upgraded mine to lvl 2 in the MAM now I can have 7 connections instead of 4. Idr off the topic my head but I believe there was even a 3rd lvl... and of course the large ones for long distances. Just unlocked and discovered oil so that will be my project today.

[high jacinth]

Thanks

[robust crypt]

The large one "power pylons" are great for ziplining around the mapping too

[hard furnace]

When will the trophies been fixed for ps5?

[surreal helm]

So ive ventured out of my starting location a bit and discovered some of the map hasn't unlocked when I go through areas. Is there something I need to complete to be able to "unlock" these areas in the map?

[robust crypt]

When you traverse in cave systems and other areas under the surface it doesnt remove the fog for the surface.

Perhaps this is what you are experiencing

[topaz basalt]

Basically need to have players head at higher height as the highest terrain height at that location.

[stuck geode]

Also wondering this lol

[surreal helm]

Ahh ok, I wasn't in caves, just a really low valley. Was wondering if that was the issue. Thanks!

[robust crypt]

The radar towers are great ways to reveal chunks of the map. You can use them for triangulation of things like somersloops

[surreal helm]

Ok good deal. Don't think ive unlocked those yet, just the lookout towers so far.

[dapper egret]

is any up to help build a storage depot and train system?

More people have crashes when u join someone? I'm in the game and then after 2 min he gives a error

[fierce egret]

hello

is it better to invest nodes into screws or because i steal screw should i invest mire into forges

[surreal lichen]

The only thing you need screws for outside of production lines is building AWESOME shops, and a handful of Equipment Workshop items you'll only need to build once (or maybe twice)

[fierce egret]

ok

[surreal lichen]

Having a "dedicated" screws factory is, IMO, not really worth it (that said, if you do make a dedicated screws factory anyway, it can be extraordinarily small since A) you don't need much, and B) the production line can be so basic)

[fierce egret]

ive recleantly been deboating have a factory resest latly ive got the spaghetti as well as I was talking about having those screws go into my production line not go off into their own thing. Just wondering if it’s better to go for steel screws or reg screws

[surreal lichen]

(Keep in mind that my own advice tends to come from a perspective of Independency (https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Tutorial:Independency), which is where a "factory" only ever outputs to your own personal storage (ie: stuff you need for your build gun). For instance I'd make a Rotors factory, but that factory only goes to my personal storage. If any other factory ever needs rotors, I just make more rotors right inside that new factory. So by that paradigm, you'd basically not need a Screws factory. You may end up making screws inside dozens of other factories, but having a dedicated factory for them wouldn't make sense, if you play along those lines)

[fierce egret]

Yeah I get that. It’s just I have a lot of stuff going on in my factory right now. I’m planning on tearing everything down and redoing everything to tier 3 and such. I’m just worried it’s gonna take three days to redo everything. I’m looking for a team to fix that though, but it seems I can’t find squat.

[surreal lichen]

No need to ever tear anything down. Just let your spaghetti factory keep making all the stuff that it's making, and let it sit there producing forever! Instead, for all the new stuff you want to build, start expanding out and building fresh new factories for those things.

[fierce egret]

but the way I’ve made it is I made the mistake of building too close to rock so I had to move it as well as I don’t have enough spots to put foundries in so it’s gonna be a lot of work to get steel back in production

[surreal lichen]

Rebuilding can be a drag, and can often lead to burnout (as I suspect you already fear). It ends up taking so much effort just to get yourself back up to the same level of production you had before. You can certainly do it if you enjoy it, of course, but just remember it's a choice, not a necessity. You can just leave it, and build new stuff elsewhere. :)

[surreal lichen]

Building space isn't a problem if you start expanding outwards! It's a huge map, with a lot more resources than many people realize. I guarantee you're not going to run out of resources. If you're finding the prospect of tearing down + rebuilding daunting, then don't! Just find some more nodes, build some new factories, and you'll be off. :D

[fierce egret]

Ye also i forgot about going up

[surreal lichen]

One more small plug for independency: if you do sort of generally follow the Independency strategy I linked to above, it sort of naturally ends up letting you do that, and never being bothered by past "mistakes." (Though "mistake" is in the eye of the beholder, of course. :D) Each factory's totally new, from scratch, and isolated from what you did previously. So who cares if your latest factory is a mess of inefficient spaghetti? Can just try to do better on the next one, etc. 🥳

[fierce egret]

okay

[surreal lichen]

Though that's only one way to play, of course. Your game, your rules. :)

[fierce egret]

oo i forgot to ask does compact coal act smilarly with fountry as they do with goal genterors

[hard furnace]

Server keeps crashing on ps5 😒

[surreal lichen]

Coal Generators can take a variety of fuels (namely: Coal, Compacted Coal, and Petroleum Coke). On PC, if you open up the coal gen control panel, there's a little orange icon next to the fuel "buffer," and if you click on it, it'll show you the consumption rates for the various fuel types that it accepts. (No clue what the console equivalent is.) Should be able to look it up in the Codex as well (though again, not sure how to do that on console). Failing that, the wiki will tell you what fuels the things accept

Recipes, on the other hand, require specific resources. So if a recipe needs Coal, you can't just substitute Compacted Coal; they're two different kinds of resources. Fuel Generators are just a little bit "special," since they don't really have "recipes" per se. But any recipe in a Foundry will need (and will produce) specific resources; you can't substitute with anything else unless you've got a totally different recipe to use.

[high jacinth]

Woohoo almost have coal power.

I feel as if I need to build a whole new section of floor and rebuild all the machines and storage then reroute to new and destroy the old ones after...

[robust crypt]

Just abandon and build new somewhere else.

[high jacinth]

Abandon !lol guessing not common ?

[robust crypt]

There is so much resources i rarely rebuild factories i just build new somewhere else

[surreal lichen]

I personally wouldn't phrase it as "abandon" so much as "just let your old factory continue to do its thing." It is quite common for newer players to want to tear down + rebuild, so you'll be in good company if you do. But getting used to expanding throughout the world, and just building new factories instead, is a nice way to not have to re-do work you've already done in the save

Like: you're already making iron rods and rotors and modular frames and stuff that you can use to build things. You can let that stuff continue to do that! Can just start making new factories for the new materials you want to make. (Which, yeah, might mean you also need to make more rods/rotors/frames/etc, inside those new factories, but that's still less work than rebuilding your current stuff)

(Apocalyptech Go 24 Hours Without Advocating For Independency Challenge™)

[robust crypt]

Correct. Phrases is not my strong suit. I say abandon because my first factory doesn't generally have foundations, sinks, storage depots. So after a while I'll stop using It. This causes a build up of resources and parts until all the belts are flooded and stops producing. It becomes a forgotten factory in the grasslands. Wasting away and overgrown (if the foliage grew)

[atomic stone]

dimensional depots and awesome sinks can make that factory not forgotten and or wasted

[burnt yarrow]

Hi me and my partner have been playing we re logged on and her explorer with a bunch of sloops and data drives has despawned we've gone to where it is on the map but it's not there any ideas would be great as she's quite upset about it

[surreal lichen]

Hm, wonder if it fell through the ground; I'd thought that basically didn't happen anymore, but could be there's a regression?

If it's still on the radar but not on the ground, it seems likely that's what happened, though. Maybe if you're lucky there's a cave underneath where you are, and the vehicle just fell down into there?

[steel jackal]

I have a few issue/question that I asked Reddit about and was pointed here for help is possible.

Me and a friend are on Xbox, I built a hyper-tube cannon and he can use it just fine (he’s host) but when I try I get stuck and can’t leave the cannon going around in circles till I’m forced to respawn. Some other things don’t work when not hosting such as bunny-hopping, HUD (just not loading when first joining and disappearing after a while when playing), jumping (rarely), placing/destroying buildings, very bad lagging, and severe stuttering when mid-air. Just some things I’ve noticed.

Would these problems be related to desync, connectivity issues, or bad ping?

Apologies for horrible paragraph structure.

[high jacinth]

Ok i may just move out a couple hundred meters and just reroute stuff if I need. Just my ocd kicking in and it's a hot mess of spaghetti , I almost have coal power unlocked. I'm.hopong that cleans up the mess of biomass generators I have.

[oak pelican]

Ping and server performance

Best not to use circular accelerators, just make one that goes in a straight line and throws you out the end.

The rest you have to put up with (I'm not sure if they're worse on console or not, but on PC there is a setting which is harder on your PC but updates the multiplayer more frequently/accurately).

[oak pelican]

could try a bit earlier save?

[burnt yarrow]

Can ask the host to check

[burnt yarrow]

Had no luck sadly

[surreal lichen]

Hrmph. I assume that a quit+reload does nothing? Are you doing multiplayer together? Any difference if just the "host" is playing?

[burnt yarrow]

I can ask the host to check it's me my partner and a friend

[surreal lichen]

Good luck!

[burnt yarrow]

🤞 thanks

[high jacinth]

Oh my I found coal 982m away.... That's gonna be a long conveyer belt...

[surreal lichen]

What are you using the coal for? I'd recommend just processing it right near the coal rather than belting it a whole kilometer. Having to go afield to get coal is one of the game's first little nudges to get you to expand rather than centralize. :)

If you're planning on using the coal for power, btw: there are various places on the map where there's 3-4 coal nodes right next to water. Those places are ideal (and in fact hand-crafted) to be early-game coal generation hotspots. I'd highly recommend seeking one of those places out and building coal power right there, where you don't have to move either coal or water. You'll have a 1km (or longer!) power line to get that new power back to your original factories, of course, but that's nicer than moving the material itself.

[neon tide]

Stupid question: can you blow up the bigger rocks across the starting zones?

[surreal lichen]

You can (eventually) blow up any rock which looks like it's full of cracks, and you can blow up many of the smaller rocks (like maybe up to Pioneer waist height or so). In general anything bigger than that is permanent, though

[fierce egret]

ive got my train set up but i can seem to get it to load via the loader station (its pacaged fuel)

[high jacinth]

😂 Well yeah I mean I'm like 15 hours in just taking my time.

I was thinking make a coal plant next to the coal to keep it running 😂(infinite power lol )

Then run a conveyer to a spot not as far by where my concrete comes from there are 2 or 3 iron nodes there

(I have chronic pain so taking a long time to do it doesn't bother me )

I've gone crazy with conveyer belt splitters and mergers my main spot looks like spaghetti

[fierce egret]

i think thats half the fun

[high jacinth]

No limit to conveyer length right?

I Mena I have concrete and copper coming from like 400m away each already

[fierce egret]

Bru i just spider/ cat luanch its self into my rib caige

[burnt yarrow]

Sadly no dice

[atomic magnet]

Is crossplay still having issues?

[still lance]

Psn does anyone want to play

[high jacinth]

Why does coal seem to.be up higher than everything else , or in reference to where I was the two I trekked to were like80 to 100m above me 🤷‍♂️

[outer ermine]

???

I think that's just where you built your base because there's some coal pretty low down relative to the average elevation of the map.

[high jacinth]

I must be in a bad spot I just buikr right by iron when I first landed

[surreal lichen]

No real "bad" spot per se, but I would encourage you to expand outwards and build outpost factories. That way even if one factory is in a sub-par location, that doesn't mean the next one has to be. :)

[high jacinth]

Thanks I'll prob build a 2nd location

[high jacinth]

Is there a good website or app with descriptions / required parts for stuff?

(bear in mind can't transfer blueprints to console yet)

[pure hamlet]

i doubt this will ever happen unless CSS make a way to do it in game. i dont think ive ever seen a game on xbox which allows for file editing/adding

[lilac edge]

looks at the various console games with mod support

[pure hamlet]

i mean modding is different from copy and pasting a file in ur pc's directory but oki - 'various' is a big overstatement as well

[lilac edge]

modding is "download file from directory"

here replace "mod" with "blueprint"

but also same explanation as to why so few games have mods on consoles.

plus you'd need a system that'd keep microsoft and sony happy otherwise you'd end up with separate systems for each platform

nope

a: it's possible
b: it'd be a pain in the ass

ive not said anything contrary to any of those points but okay man, you're just saying things for the sake of it. c is essentially just what i said initially

[copper fable]

Spotted this earlier, thanks!

[frosty flicker]

Tbf it's perfectly fine to build it first, and optimise when you can.

Get the resources coming in first, and before you know it, you'll have everything you need to unlock the next Tier, and the next phase, with more than enough resources to build a mega factory.

[ruby cloud]

Can it tell me how to work the water extractors? Cause theyre apparently more complicated than I thought 😭

[jagged parrot]

Does anyone know where/if the 'Directional Subtitles' setting is on the PS5?

[still lance]

Nope but u can save other blueprints

[modern heart]

Extractor is weak and cannot lift water up higher than 10m - that means it cant even lift it above itself.
Needs pipeline pumps if you wanna go higher than that

[ruby cloud]

So itd be better if I come straight out of the water extractors a bit then go straight up using pumps? Does distance play a part too?

[modern heart]

Horizontal distance doesnt matter

Its purely about height
Check how high your pipes go and if it goes above the extractor (or even if it goes right near the top of it) you need a pump before it goes higher than that

[ruby cloud]

Ah ok. I was trying to make a water tower that went straight up then back down to have the height be above where it was going but it wasn't working. Ill have to rework it again later

[modern heart]

If you dont have a pump going up, it wont work

water towers arent magic builds that pull water up.

You have to push it up first

[high jacinth]

Where are the coordinates in game so I can compare to the interactive map?

I was in starting area 1, not far from me there's a drop pod floating in a grotto

But I can't seem.to.Find that on the map either

[topaz basalt]

Same coordinates, just different scale.
SCIM is 1 cm scale, ingame is 1m scale.
So divide by 100 to change from SCIM to ingame, multiply by 100 to go from ingame to SCIM.

SCIM was first, and the game internally uses 1cm scale, so it uses that.
The ingame coordinate display came much later, and uses 1m scale.

[high jacinth]

Ugh I guess I'm building a new factory area up, leave the old one might have to conveyer some stuff to new point , but literally the coal that showed up was 980 to 1200m away.

[robust crypt]

Just build everything you need there. You are likely to find copper and iron not far from the coal

[sly kernel]

Any news on having PS5 cloud streaming?

[high jacinth]

I didn't notice water but I wasn't looking I'm baout to start it up and check stuff

How far does the jump.thing have for range? And.he exactly do yoh hit the jelly thing lol

[trail tendon]

the jump pad doesnt have the greatest of range but you can change the angle to increase/decrease it, and just put the jelly thing wherever you want to land

[robust crypt]

If you are at full health fall damage leaves you at 1. So I use the jump pad and put the jelly (or another jump pad )where i land

[high jacinth]

Well I can't seem.to find water close to this coal .... But there is a huge water thing about 450m from where I built.

So I guess for now I'm just transferring the coal to where I not gonna do anything worth coal j.til the 3 storage containers I.built are full

I got plenty of other stuff I need tto build anyway to get ready for coal copper sheeting etc

It's 120 coal per minute at 2400 per container plus a couple minutes of travel 20 minutes to fill a container? Plus travel time.

Crap guess I shoukd have built mk2 conveyors ...

So 40 minutes per container I'm stupid this game is gonna drive me bonkers

[robust crypt]

Grasslands start?

If so to the north of the spawn area there is a wat waterfall with 4 or 5 coal nodes. Most ppls do there first coal build there

[high jacinth]

Huh guess I'll go look in a bit. Either way I'll have 7200 coal in reserve

There is a drop pod in that water by the waterfall too

[robust crypt]

The pure coal nodes to the south has iron and limestone near by. I think most ppl use that for steel.

Of course your game your rules.

[high jacinth]

I mean first time I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually 😂

I do enjoy building things and messing with conveyer belts

Just gotta figure out the conveyor lifts

And apparently I need to set up another copper mine...🤔 One just won't do I'm sure 😂

[high jacinth]

Thanks

[high jacinth]

How in the world do yoh peer the water pump ....if needs 20mw alone... Biomass until coal is running?

[surreal lichen]

Yep, new tiers of power require the old ones to "bootstrap" it. Don't forget the miners for the coal nodes as well. (Also it's a Water Extractor -- a "Pump" is something different)

[gray trench]

Total newb here, playing on xbox. Better to convert leaves/wood to biofuel first then use in generator?

[surreal lichen]

Yep, 100%. "Biomass" lasts longer than wood/leaves, and Solid Biofuel lasts longer than Biomass. Well worth setting up a little production chain to feed your burners. (Note that Alien Remains can generate a lot of biomass, too)

[gray trench]

ah appreciate this!

Havnt gotten to setting up a production chain yet, lots to learn

[surreal lichen]

Be sure to take your time and enjoy! The early-game biofuel collection is a bit of a drag, but you get to fully-automatable power before too long. :)

[gray trench]

yea my base is a sorry mess

Ive played alot of Techtonica and Palword, so I do understand the concept sort of

[high jacinth]

I think it's working....

Power consumption keeps alternating between like 80 and 120?

I assume they can be daisy chained just connect to same power pole?

[surreal lichen]

A single coal gen will provide 75MW of power; not sure what would cause a 40MW variance. If there was a 30MW variance it could be a bio burner flipping between off/on. I suppose the two bio burners on the HUB are 20MW each; if both of those were flapping then that could cause 40MW, though I wouldn't expect that to happen at the exact same time. (And also bio burners generally just flat out turn off, not go back and forth. Though if you had an erratic supply of fuel going into them, then that could happen)

[gray trench]

How man smelters/constructor/assembler be run from 1 biomass burner?

[surreal lichen]

Biomass Burners will tell you how much power they provide (it's 30MW for the ones you build yourself, or 20MW for the ones attached to your HUB). Likewise, the buildings themselves will tell you how much power they require. Some simple math will get you there. (Also be sure to watch the power graphs via your power poles.) Remember that you can wire all your power up into the same network -- you don't have to run specific machines from specific burners. Generally a lot more convenient to just have one big power grid

[gray trench]

ooooo thx! Im about to dismantle everything and try to get it organized

[high jacinth]

I built 3 coal..my grid had max consumption of around 80...so I don't think I have everything connected

I'll check tomorrow got errands and stuff ...🤔 Maybe I didn't click all the poles together 😂

Ok consumption is what's being used

Max says 200
Prod says 225
Capacity says 355

[robust crypt]

Biofuel generators will turn themselves off if they are not needed.

[uneven fable]

Hey so has anyone figured out the milestone trophy?

I completed them all but the trophy does not pop up. Also the edible plant one, Im pretty sure I ate all 3 of them

[high jacinth]

Ah OK thanks

And those other coal nodes were a lot closer there's 3 or 4 but one has a boulder and I don't think I'm far enough in to blow that up yet.

Now on to more miners for more iron copper etc

[robust crypt]

Doesn't take much. Go down the sulfur tree in the mam

[spiral zenith]

I spent most of my day doing mam research today finally hit a road block where I believe I need to move into the next phase to get plastic to unlock circuit boards and so on

[gray trench]

Just opend my first crashed drop pod. Tractor was a really big help! Loving this game

[cyan ginkgo]

@surreal lichen just particularly shouting out your answers and advice and guidance on this channel. Thanks! I'm new to the game on console and loving it. This whole discord has some amazing folks

[magic isle]

Just out of curiosity. what framerate does the game run at? does the game look good visually?, do you guys have graphics settings? do the controls feel good and smooth considering it was made for mouse and keyboard? hoping that y'all are finding the game fun so far. I want to see if the console players are going to have the average 20-40 fps on a good day experience.

[spiral zenith]

I'm on Xbox series x and have yet to see any frame drops or anything games looks good and honestly controls are really smooth I still occasionally press wrong button do the wrong thing but that more on me still getting use to control it I'm about 50hours in on my save it's been a lot of fun tho I'm gonna end up sinking way too much time into it 😂

[high jacinth]

So since I built the coal generators I should be able to dismantle and rearrange my biomass ones ?

Becaue somehow I.buils one directly on top of an iron deposit....dummy

[heavy wigeon]

I just started playing on Xbox today!

[gray trench]

Im new as well, only a few hours in, and about to tear down /rebuild my entire setup

[high jacinth]

I've been told that's a thing with new players lol

[gray trench]

You get back all the resources so its just the time invested

I finally set up 2 end to end assembly lines, that are working well, but everything else is a hot mess

[frosty flicker]

Just build a massive farm of them and go nuts grabbing leaves.

You can hold down the button to start auto-picking.

Then when you get the chainsaw, cut down all the trees, because they'll only get in the way of future builds.

[frosty flicker]

Had a slight frame drop on PS5 when placing objects, until the server got reset and it was back to smooth gaming.

[gray trench]

so how does chaining generators ? Can i chain a series, and then do the same for a rolw of machines?

[magic isle]

no daisy chaining is not a feature in base game. you can connect them via series of power poles

[gray trench]

oh that explains why I keep blowing fuses thx!!!!!

[magic isle]

daisy chaining is a feature exclusively for power storages and thats it

[gray trench]

think Im gonna start a new playthru, not a bad thing with all that I ve learned

[ashen spire]

Lights as well.

[magic isle]

oh yeah. any light/lamp as well, sry.

[limpid sand]

Any patch coming in to fix the crashing? My friend cant join my world anymore we have stopped playing till its fixed haha

[copper fable]

Not gonna lie, I'm addicted to this game on PS5. I don't get a massive amount of time to play it as I have a family but late nights are going to be eaten up by this fantastic game.

[young tartan]

Hypertube entrys also

Builded a blueprint with 10 poles befor i Realyced

[storm steppe]

Dumb question, isnt the radar tower supposed to show the locations of collectibles likes the mercer spheres?

[topaz basalt]

No, just how many there are left in its radius.

And this kind of game generic questions are best written to the main #satisfactory, for larger people pool, it isn't -pc for a reason.
This channel was mainly created for console version specific things and lot of people don't read it.

[storm steppe]

Sorry, playing on console that's why I asked here

[topaz basalt]

Just generic note, lot of people doing the same thing and not getting quick answers.

[solar abyss]

Just beat the finished phase 5 and I'm deleting everything and letting people build whatever they want as a type of sandbox community server you can use it to get trophies if you want I play Xbox

[ivory gale]

Is the in game calculate accessible on console ?

[grave crag]

good question, id like to know also

[pure hamlet]

Nope

[ivory gale]

Rip

[pure hamlet]

Good thing calculators are prevalent nowadays. Also would be so annoying to type in the numbers id just never use it

[ivory gale]

Can use a keyboard for the text boxes on ps

[old cypress]

I put a bug in on their website for this last night. I was fine playing solo for days, then the second I try to do anything multiplayer related, it's multiple crashes before getting lucky and joining. Then once we're joined up, it takes about 10-20 minutes for the lag to make the non-hosts game unplayable.

That's my experience with multiplayer so far on xbox sx, yalls mileage may vary.

[torpid rampart]

Has anyone experienced multiple game crashes? Mine are usually during running somewhere lol

[rocky acorn]

All of mine have been just opening the game they don't usually happen twice tho

[spiral zenith]

Tbh I have one game crash and that is yet to have any other issue about 50 hours in so not loads of hours but still enough

[torpid rampart]

I think I’m up to 6 crashes now but the game auto saves so frequently it doesn’t bother me

[old cypress]

I've never had a crash doing anything related to single player, but after last night's experiment with multiplayer, I had 5

[high jacinth]

Can I do something else while the hard drive is being scanned?

[topaz basalt]

Yes, you can even dismantle that MAM.

[high jacinth]

On thanks. First hard drive I found. Also lots of nice material by and from dismantling the crash

[topaz basalt]

So norm is to go HDD hunting, build a MAM whenever research finishes, put new drive in, dismantle, continue.

[high jacinth]

Oh no doni choose alternate: copper rotor.or iron wire?

Or rescan

[topaz basalt]

Questions that aren't Console specific are better put into main #satisfactory. That isn't "-pc" for a reason and will reach larger audience.

[high jacinth]

Sorry will do

[topaz basalt]

Just suggestion to get more talk about what you asked.
This channel has much less people actively monitoring it.

[rocky acorn]

1. what console are you, 2. Is there anything in your save that could be crashing your game

[torpid rampart]

PS5. No I don’t believe so

[surreal lichen]

alt recipes are just there to give you options while building, and there's really no such thing as a "good" or "bad" recipe (though there are recipes which are more niche-use than others). There are more hard drives in the game than you can use, so you'll get them all eventually. My own advice: if you don't know, just flip a coin, then go find more hard drives. :) (Also, in the end that's more of a #satisfactory question than here, btw)

[rocky acorn]

So your game is just fkd, dang

[torpid rampart]

I don’t believe it is, but ok

[rocky acorn]

If its crashing that often for no discernible reason it 100% fkd

[torpid rampart]

It’s crashed 6 times since the game came out. Not unheard of for a console release

[rocky acorn]

I thought you meant 6 in like the past hour

[torpid rampart]

No sorry.

[violet reef]

My son says the game lags when he jumps, but that's the only multiplayer issue we've had

Other than I have to invite him, he can't join my game otherwise even when I leave it fully open to friends

[regal crest]

My friend has the problem, when he joins in my world he can only move two Seconds and after that his Game crashes. He deleted the Game and downloadet it again nothings works. We cant play together anymore.

[remote moth]

Ohhhh consoles, nice.

[violet reef]

The thing I'm having is enemies not dying. I hit em a few times, corpse shows up, no loot, then I get hit again because he stands back up

[topaz basalt]

Enemies can get stunned for moment.

And the stunned state is often very close to looking dead.

[ruby cloud]

Nah I was going diagonally up out of the water extractors. I had a pump on the diagonals but I dont think it liked it😅 i tore everything down and halfway made a new one. The new one looks like its going to work. Thanks for the help.

[modern heart]

if the pump is placed too high, it wont work

pumps have no suction

they can only push fluids out that manage to reach their input

[ruby cloud]

Ohhhh. I didn't know that. I was thinking if it was pushing it forward it would have a bit of suction.

[pure hamlet]

Pumps just create the lift from the point in the pump, so its best to put it on a flat bit of tube just before you go vertical

And then if you press your trigger once, or hold it in place you can look to see the pump’s range

So if it doesnt make it all the way you need to add another pump just before that line

[ruby cloud]

Yeah In the new water tower im building I dropped a 1m foundation down to below the water extractors output and put a small straight section of pipe down a little lower than it with the pump before it turns up to go into the tower I only needed a small tower so the one pump works

[pure hamlet]

Yeah sounds good. I don’t really see the benefit of towers as you still need to pump up to that headlift lol

[reef mist]

What’s the maximum amount of hyper cannon segments can I put before it crashes my game? I’m currently up to 320

Noticeable drop of frame rate when launched, and my body gets stretched out heavily.

[ruby cloud]

I mainly just wanted a mini water tower🤣 I was also having issues with my coal gens not getting enough water so im hoping it fixes that in the process

[pure hamlet]

Probably an issue with your piping rather than headlift. Wiki has good resources n layouts for coal

[reef mist]

#screenshots message

boys, I broke it.

[ruby cloud]

I did similar piping with a different set of coal gens and those work so Im guessing it was just the headlift. The 3 extractors thats causing issues are a lot further away

[frozen prawn]

My power situation is so shit that some of my critical resources for upgrades are being held by a manual generator I have to fill every time it's out

125 capacity

I did start the game 6h ago so if anyone could like join me and fix my terrible power situation that would be great

[surreal helm]

@frozen prawn set up 2 storage containers, one for leaves 🍃 and one for 🪵. Directly in front of those put a constructor for each one creating biomass. Converge those two into a single constructor producing solid biofuel. And then pipe that into your biomass burners.

[frozen prawn]

Yea but at the end of the day it's pretty much still manual labour to keep putting leafs and woof

Wood*

You just get better power sources overtime

Coal is automated

But for the love of god I cannot find a water source

I even got a pure coal vein ready

Also how do I get steel

Iam gonna completely revamp my factory when I have enough coal power generators

I will probably completely rebuilt it

Just a big mess rn

Also what are the mergers for I like never use them I only use splitters so far

[versed hatch]

You can pump two or three vein into merger and it’ll come out as one belt toward something else

[frozen prawn]

So your telling me I can combine my 3 iron Viens into one and still make screws,plates, reinforced plates,and rods?

Instead of seperating for each one

[still lance]

so my game just crashed and on restarting it cleared my inventory and has made a duplicate character of myself i cant interact with or clear with the destroy tool does anyone know how i can remove it ? (ps5)

[deep sequoia]

Da what

[random relic]

you should be able to kill it

or try restarting the console and loading back in, perhaps an older autosave if not the most recent one (dunno how exactly that works on console)

[still lance]

nope was unable to had to load an earlier save

[random relic]

players have a lot of heath and also rapidly regenerate below 30 HP

either way, if loading a save worked, your issue is resolved

[still lance]

never mind yes you can kill it i did not try long enough

i still saw it after death so i tried reviving it then it vanished , thanks

[ruby cloud]

Ive only been playing for about a week but I could join and help out a bit

[frozen prawn]

You on Xbox?

Is there cross platform?

[still lance]

ps5 to xbox yes to pc no

but i have seen people say its not working

[ruby cloud]

Rip

[still lance]

it may work im just saying ,no harm in trying 🙂

[ruby cloud]

Jeez. Could they make adding someone on EGS any harder...

[winter ocean]

My friend cant join my session. Im on ps5 and he's on xbox. I have online multiplayer on and friends can join on. We are friends on epic games but it doesnt show my session for him on his multiplayer tab. I was able to see his and joins his a couple days ago. Idk whats going on

[ruby cloud]

There needs to be a way to add people from different platforms in the game

[mighty basalt]

The green gas plants or rocks, not sure what they are... How do u get rid of them?

[surreal lichen]

Find some sulfur (yellowish rocks) and research it in the MAM

[surreal helm]

Anyone else finding that the interactive map isnt very accurate? As far as recourse go, the drops seem to be ok.

[surreal lichen]

Do you mean the ingame map or https://satisfactory-calculator.com/en/interactive-map? Though either should be quite accurate

[spice crown]

Hello, can someone tell me why the icons on my map keep turning yellow please? I can't see anything. It's seriously stupid to have to put up with.

[young tartan]

Yeah have the same problem here me and my friend cant play together thes said that you have to make a new acc on xbox/psn and epic and then it should work when you add then in epic

[surreal helm]

I have alot of resources that are either in different places, or just completely missing from the map calculator. And ive only explored a small part of the desert in the top left.

[surreal lichen]

Did you have an example? The node data in SCIM is taken directly from the game data

[surreal helm]

Umm in unable to send pictures to this channel, I can dm one to you?

[surreal lichen]

Can use #screenshots

(I don't mind a DM but best to keep stuff public. :)

(Also, btw, the channels #1038092680493801533 , #math-and-meta , and #design-and-architecture also allow screenshots -- the questions-and-help one in particular is often the best place to ask stuff which needs shots)

[topaz basalt]

Are you sure you have the right Game Branch selected in top right?
Should be "Stable (1.1)" and not "Early Access (Update 8)".

And do note that you can select which types and rarities of nodes are displayed in SCIM under the Resource nodes tab.

[surreal helm]

Ahh I had no idea about this... mine says version 1.1 on the start menu

[topaz basalt]

Yeah, that U8 is the last Early Access version, before game exited that and was fully released last year.
But there were node changes in change from EA U8 to Stable 1.0.

Current game version is that Stable 1.1, and console never had anything else.

[surreal helm]

I wasn't using the map correctly... 🫠

It's set up completely different on my phone, I need to play around with it a bit more. Thanks guys and I apologize for wasting more of your time with dumb questions. 😅😁

[surreal lichen]

Heh, no dumb questions, all good! Enjoy!

[pure hamlet]

https://youtube.com/shorts/SxrjY9T1gC0?si=UNA7394H_0bV6nky

has anyone been able to get this to work on console? Im able to edit the numbers but it seems like it doesnt save? I didnt try setting it to 10 so maybe thats why

Its editing the colours on swatches to make whites and blacks more prominent

[topaz basalt]

It is basically bug in the PC version of the game.
So no wonder it didn't make it to the Console version UI.

[lilac edge]

apocalyptech: "no dumb questions"
rando on the internet: "challenge accepted"

[visual gulch]

I’m looking for someone who is willing to start a world together

Been really bored playing solo

Dm me if u up for it I could join existing world

[surreal helm]

What console?

[visual gulch]

Xbox

Ps and Xbox can play with each other

[surreal helm]

My name is JayBurner420, add me, we can get in one tomorrow. Just heading to bed, realized it was 3 hrs past what I thought and I have to get up in 2 1/2.... damn this game! 😅😅

[visual gulch]

lol

See u then

[surreal helm]

There was a problem with it the other day, not sure if its been sorted out or not.

[pale wind]

R there mods on console?

[visual gulch]

No

[pale wind]

K

[balmy geyser]

yo can anyone help me make a simple iron factory

[balmy geyser]

can you help @pale wind

[pale wind]

Not on now and I just started n im just following tutorials

[royal galleon]

How many hours is everyone in?

[pure hamlet]

160 ish

Hard to tell w afk time, my save is around 185

[royal galleon]

Miner -> smelter -> constructor

[pure hamlet]

But ive definitely not been playing all that time lmao. Think xbox quick resume tracks your hours

[royal galleon]

My save is around 70 hours rn I think

But I can only play between my course and social life

Joys of college

You got a screenie of your base(s)?

[pure hamlet]

Yea work has been v quiet for me since release so i havent been doing much else

[pure hamlet]

Up until phase 5 i just built satellite factories. Im making my main base rn which produces everything. Will tag you in the screenshots channel

[royal galleon]

Awesome, what you do for work then?

[pure hamlet]

im a lawyer

[royal galleon]

Shit, lend a man a fiver? Lol

What type of lawyer you be?

[pure hamlet]

disputes

[royal galleon]

Fair enough

[pure hamlet]

But its private practice so its all pretty large scale high value stuff

[royal galleon]

So plenty of money in your pockets huh

[pure hamlet]

I do well for myself yeah

[royal galleon]

Good on you, bet it took a while to get there

[pure hamlet]

Yea a very tough path

[royal galleon]

You passionate about it?

[balmy geyser]

is that in order?

[royal galleon]

Yes, yes it is

[balmy geyser]

thanks good sir

[royal galleon]

Miner - does the mining
Smelter - makes iron ingots
Constructor - makes iron rods

[balmy geyser]

cool

[royal galleon]

Any tips for getting all the phase 3 items for the space elevator?

[pure hamlet]

Not really? I would always automate things like the newest belt and any other important resources tonget me through the tiers

And then i would usually just hand feed the actual elevator parts by phase 3 cuz i knew i wanted to build this mega factory

[royal galleon]

I have a few modular factories at the minute

Working on one right now for multiple things and its looking good

Motors are brilliant for the sink like damn

[balmy geyser]

how do i create a manifold?

[pure hamlet]

Its just a row of machines which have splitters infront of their inputs

The first splitter receives the item, like iron ingot and splits it to the machine and then toward the next splitter

[balmy geyser]

oh ok

[pure hamlet]

The wiki is very helpful, it has a section about them

[balmy geyser]

thanks dude

[royal galleon]

If you want an example lets me know

[balmy geyser]

please

[royal galleon]

Give me a minute

[balmy geyser]

ok

[royal galleon]

Xbox isn't uploading my screenshots :/

[balmy geyser]

aww man

[topaz basalt]

No pics allowed on this channel, use #screenshots

[pure hamlet]

Just check the wiki’s page on manifolds it has plenty of pics and diagrams

[balmy geyser]

i want to know how to biuld one

[pure hamlet]

The wiki will teach you

Its not a building by itself, its just a combination of splitters

[south lagoon]

Mornin yall

[balmy geyser]

how do i give power to my miner?

[south lagoon]

Run a power line too it that is also on the same grid as a generator, your hub has a bio reactor on the side of it.

[pale wind]

I never used those my playthrough I spent first like 3 hours doing everything by hand i do not recommend

[pure hamlet]

Did you ping me in screenshots?

I saw the noti but text cant be sent there

[pale wind]

Ye i was just saying that terrifies me to carry on ur sc

[south lagoon]

Automation is key, however small.

[pure hamlet]

It’s basically done, i just need to automate some t9 stuff and then i can design

[loud jewel]

When is satisfactory supposed to hit consoles? I thought it was sometime this year.

[pale wind]

Ye it makes me debate whether its worth it to carry on with how huge that built is just for those parts

[pale wind]

Already out atleast on ps5 like a month ago I think

[loud jewel]

Ooooooo I know they said that they’re never going to do cross play, but I really wish they would

[pale wind]

I heard xbox n ps have crossplay

[south lagoon]

Ye

[pure hamlet]

Why wouldn’t i lol?

[balmy geyser]

how do i get power again?

[royal galleon]

With generators

Automaton for power is unlocked at thingy 3 I believe

[balmy geyser]

not power poles then

[balmy geyser]

thanks

[stone terrace]

Hey, does anyone know whether Satisfactory will ever be launching on Nintendo Switch 2?

[pure hamlet]

You need to power your biomass burners w biomass

Which is made w leaves

Or wood

[balmy geyser]

good to know

[topaz basalt]

Pretty unlikely as far as I know.
Much lower performance CPU compared to Xbox Series S/X and PS5 (Pro).

[stone terrace]

That's unfortunate 😅

[balmy geyser]

how many biomass burnuers do you need?

[south lagoon]

Unless your really stretching phase 1, you shouldn't need more than 8

[balmy geyser]

8!

[south lagoon]

I cannot see any situation in which you'd need more than that, unless you're intentionally trying to blow the grid (so long as you're in phase 1 that is)

[flint crypt]

I've just got coal up and running with only 4 burners, 2 of which were the ones on the hub. Granted it was extremely close but it's definitely possible

[south lagoon]

Yeah, 8 is the max I could see anyone realistically using, but 4 is just as realistic

[surreal lichen]

Eh, I've gone up to 12, and I know some folks go even more than that

You burn through bio fuel at the same rate regardless, for the same amount of power draw, so especially with belt-fed burners nowadays there's no real downside to building more, even if you're not going to push your power capacity

4 is tight if you don't like doing handcrafting; I think that's just enough for a single Smart Plating factory line with vanilla recipes

[flint crypt]

Oh yeah I definitely don't think 4 is particularly smart. I've played through the early game a few times and started in dune desert this time, so I wanted to push to coal as quick as possible so I wouldn't be running back to the forest so much

[opal cliff]

Hello i need help what is the backend error on ps5?

[pure hamlet]

https://youtube.com/shorts/SxrjY9T1gC0?si=UNA7394H_0bV6nky

has anyone been able to get this to work on console? Im able to edit the numbers but it seems like it doesnt save?

[opal cliff]

Help for backend error of joining a session

[pale wind]

I think i saw someone say before it a bug on pc

[pale wind]

Thats crazy I didnt get coal up until I had my biomass at like 18 with the method that splits evenly

Tbf i had a farm for everything

[spiral zenith]

Tbh I got my coal up pretty quickly too I Think I had 4 biomass plus the two burners from the hub but now I have zero burners running just coal and 2 geo Thermal geysers of pure with I think 6 batters connected I got very tired of biomass and tried to speed run past it lol

[gray trench]

Game changer for me was using ramps to get to floating areas pinging coal

Now I use ramps to explore everything, delette or leave depending on whats up there

[mortal willow]

Yeah. This is allready getting to much for me to do in my world.

And my world is only 1 hour and 48 mins old

[versed hatch]

It get worse later, lmao if you’re this overwhelmed already.

(Me, I am talking about me)

[mortal willow]

What platform you on?

[versed hatch]

Oh, I’m at phase 4, so I’m pretty far ahead of you. I’m on PS5.

[mortal willow]

Iam also on ps5. Maby we could play together?

[versed hatch]

Sure, it won’t be a while and I can’t do mic but when I get online later, sure thing.

[mortal willow]

What time is it for u right now?

[versed hatch]

I’m in UK

So 6:23pm

[mortal willow]

You are 1 hour behind me

[versed hatch]

Neat. I’ll DM you later on here and add ya when I’m free.

[mortal willow]

Do you mind if u join my world? Iam brand new to game after all

[versed hatch]

That’s absolutely fine with me!

[mortal willow]

Sent u dm

@versed hatch did u see it yet?

[uneven jolt]

Hey guys, super new to the game.
Im trying to organize a game plan so I dont overwhelm myself. Are there any YouTube channels yall watched as guidance and tips that you can share?

[high jacinth]

I'm 4 days in just having a blast making stuff in random places 😂 I did the coal plant properly though I've just watched videos on what I wanted to do

[wild cave]

15 coal per 45 water per plant

ts peak

[wild cave]

tbh do a spaghetti factory and learn that way

much more enjoyable and most yt skip early game which is the most important for learning

[uneven jolt]

What does that mean? 15 coal mins for 45 water plants? Like thats the ratio to go for?

[wild cave]

so each coal power plant requires 15 coal per minute and 45 water per minute

[ruby cloud]

Yeahhhhh full send it in however way you want. You get the exact resources it take to build when you demo it so dew whatcha want and if you dont like it demo it

[wild cave]

so if u have 60 coal per minute you will need 4 coal power plants and 180 water per minute

[uneven jolt]

Aaah ok

[wild cave]

dw its all good

[uneven jolt]

Im so happy they brought this game go console

do u guys have mods?

[ruby cloud]

Idk i dont typically play with mods (personal preference) so I wouldn't have even noticed

Im still fighting 3 water extractors tbh🤣 😭 😭

[last onyx]

Hello
I need help. I have Error E007.
Where can I get help for this?

[wild cave]

#1038092680493801533

[wild cave]

i would recommend underclocking or overclocking makes them much more manageable

[ruby cloud]

Yeah...I put them in SUPER deep water. Have foundations skimming the waters surface pipes coming out of the extractors so that the extractors are the highest things and still got basically no water coming out of them 🥲

[wild cave]

they powered? if so add a pump

also how many pumps per pipe/

[storm steppe]

Should I go for the copper rotor recipe?

[opal cliff]

what is backend error???

Pls help

Heeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllppppppppppp

[pliant forum]

Copper rotor is bleh. Aim for Steel Rotor to eliminate screws.

[lilac edge]

#1038092680493801533 if still stuck and nobody responded

[pure hamlet]

Screws are really not that big of an issue, you should just aim to pick alts which make things more accessible to you

[ruby cloud]

Yeah all three are powered. there's barely any water coming from the extractors themselves. Everything is lower than the output of the water extractors so they shouldn't even need pumps

[wild cave]

yo can u send a pic in #screenshots

[short canopy]

Can I really not make a small blueprint and then use that blueprint in a bigger blueprint?

Seems to not let me build blueprints within the blueprint machine

[jolly quest]

Just stepping into trains. Do they need to be circuits or is point A to point B fine?

[modern heart]

A to B works if you set it up right.
Locomotives can usually only drive in one direction and not go in reverse

so if you wanna go A to B (and then back) you either need a complete loop or 2 locomotives on the same train - one on each end of it

Oh and the stations also need to face the right direction

[spiral zenith]

Any good guide for trains as honestly I'm slowly getting to that point and that honestly the one thing I'm a little unsure on like do I need signal ect and so on ya know

[south lagoon]

Steel rotors give them the same crafting recipe as stators, which is very convenient for motor factories.

[fading vapor]

How do I have my PlayStation buddy join me where both are added to each other on epic and we have the right stuff for cross platform active what am I doing wrong?

[surreal lichen]

If you just have a single train running on a track, then you don't need any signals. You need signals when you want to run 2 or more trains on the same bits of track

[south lagoon]

Should be a join game option in the main menu, make sure your/their hosted game is set to online mode, and the host doesn't have show offline turned on.

[surreal lichen]

When starting out, ignore Path Signals entirely; just use Block. You can add Path later if you want/need to. Signals divide up your tracks into "blocks," and only one train is allowed inside a block at the same time.

When you have the signal specified to build, the game will colorize the rails around you to show how it's currently dividing up the blocks.

Mostly, it's just a matter of making each intersection its own big block, and then making a new block every 200-300m of "straight" rail.

[fading vapor]

I have everything set up right it just won't work

[surreal lichen]

With more than 1 train, it is easiest by far to do a "dual-rail" layout where you pick a side to drive on (right-hand drive or left-hand drive) and then stick to that everywhere.

Sounds like more work, but it is far easier and expandable, esp. once you're used to building it

[rugged musk]

Are we allowed to offer commission for extensive help and work from others to do stuff on our maps here? I need help with setting up certain things I lack knowledge and/or patience for and would like to trade for said help

<@&387163995947270144>

[tight falcon]

anyone know why my screen js goes black?

[rugged musk]

I’ve had the same, quite annoying, also noticing trains won’t load or unload from platforms

[primal kraken]

Just noticed as i just unlocked it in the MAM, is there no Inventory upload for the Dimensional Depot?? ive unlocked it in the mam yet cant find it in my inventory

[topaz basalt]

Need to upload at least one item via depot first, bug/feature in the game.

[primal kraken]

ah i see, trigger it to appear, cheers!

[lilac edge]

that's what #1201555265942724758 is for

[rugged musk]

Yeah well I never can find people to play so I’m willing to offer for it

[lilac edge]

people who are looking for group are in looking for group
if nobody is responding to looking for group then nobody is in looking for group because nobody is looking for group

[rugged musk]

Not solid logic, solid logic some people are more motivated to do something when it benefits them

But ty for your input when I was asking moderators

[lilac edge]

you probably wanna #open-a-ticket

[rugged musk]

At this point probably just wanna mind your own business

[lilac edge]

blocks rando for happy life

[rugged musk]

Ok good, I didn’t ask for your help man

[balmy geyser]

can i just hook up power poles to my miner mk1,constructer and smelter?

@primal kraken

@rugged musk

[lilac edge]

that's what power poles are for

[rugged musk]

Yes but they will still need a power supply

[balmy geyser]

whats the power supply called?

[topaz basalt]

ADA told all this as part of the Tier 0.
At first single fixed Biomass Burner that is part of the HUB after specific Tier 0 Milestone.

Then later you get second fixed one, and then even later freely constructable ones.
Then even later other fully automatable ones.

[rugged musk]

You can use biomass or coal any of them

[topaz basalt]

Bioburners don't work with coal.

[rugged musk]

He asked what the power source so

[topaz basalt]

And he isn't up to any of the other options if he doesn't know about bioburners.

[rugged musk]

Fair

[balmy geyser]

thanks

[rugged musk]

Np

[balmy geyser]

how do i stop the smelter from being ilde?

[rugged musk]

I hate to say it but go through the tutorial again, they cover all of this

[balmy geyser]

i havent done the tutorial

at all

[rugged musk]

🤦‍♂️

[topaz basalt]

That "Onboarding" Tier 0 is very important, don't skip it on first play.

[balmy geyser]

i didnt

[rugged musk]

But you did you just said you did

[topaz basalt]

That is the main tutorial.
With the ADA messages containing main pointings to get you to try and search.

It isn't explicit "Do exactly this" thing like in many games.

But in the machine UIs, you can see how many items they want as input, and how many items they output, per cycle and per minute.
And to get them to work all the time, you need to feed them enough items, and have somewhere for the produced items to go, all the time.

So they don't have to wait between previous cycle ending, and next cycle starting, for either input or output.

[balmy geyser]

are you trying to teach me?

[topaz basalt]

Also do note that you can reread and relisten to any of the previous messages via the Codex Inbox.

[silent bolt]

Is it worth getting on xbox?

[south lagoon]

Absolutely

[silent bolt]

alrighty thank

[calm kayak]

I got the game on Xbox but i accidentaly enebled auto pick up how do i disable it?

[calm kayak]

Yeah

[rugged musk]

I’m looking for someone who plays pc and knows the game well enough to help me with a good amount of stuff, build a rail network and help me with build related stuff as well as mass demo work in exchange I’d offer a key for the console version of satisfactory

[crimson compass]

Wasnt it with holding pick up button?

[calm kayak]

Every time i’m looking at a conveyor it automatically picks up things

[rugged musk]

Look away and hold the same button

[pearl harness]

About rigid disks, I guess we are able to unlock all alternative recipes right? If we get them all

[calm kayak]

Thank you very much it works

[uneven ivy]

Is there a website that's shows Blueprint designs so I can copy them?

[pale wind]

How u do make actual black foundations that r concrete? Cuz its always dark grey n black when I build it

[pale wind]

Yw with hard drives u can get more than what there is alternate recipes plus later on u can buy them for a certain amount of tickets

[pearl harness]

Ah I can buy them lol

[surreal lichen]

They only become available to buy pretty late in the game, fwiw. But yeah, there's more drives on the map than you can use, anyway. You'll have spares after unlocking everything (assuming you find them all, at least)

[pure hamlet]

what are u looking for that you cant do yourself? paying your way to smth will be unfulfilling

[pure hamlet]

the standard ficsit ones are the best looking in black imo, the rest are pretty shitty. coated concrete with the carbon colour placed on it looks good as well

[pale wind]

K so i need to buy the finish paints?

[pure hamlet]

yea

[pale wind]

K thxs

[wild cave]

go to awesome shop then once u purchase go to build menu then the top left u can change it

[south lagoon]

Awesome shop has a concrete skin for foundations, although you have to manually apply it once you purchase it

Didn't see the messages below, mb

[acoustic stump]

Look away from objects and hold X

[unborn summit]

So I have to ask since I have been following the game for ages, PC or console

[south lagoon]

Is there a difference other than modability and hardware quality?

[unborn summit]

As far as I have read so far on the console launch, doesn’t seem to have mods

[south lagoon]

Yeah it doesn't

I was saying PC has it

[unborn summit]

Ah yeah sorry misread what you said

[unborn summit]

Controller support is better on consoles apparently but idk if I will use controller or not lol

[topaz basalt]

Should be same for controller support, either now or very soon in future.
PC was used to test the controller implementation, and there were few bugs and omissions that were fixed to final console version.
But either were already moved back to PC version, or will soon be.

[rotund dune]

I love this game it is amazing

[wild cave]

ikr

[rotund dune]

Yeah who would not like this game it is so easy and fun

[wild cave]

fun yes easy? idk about taht lol

[rotund dune]

I am good at factory games

[wild cave]

what phase are you?

[rotund dune]

6

[wild cave]

that explains it

it gets alot more complicated after alimium

aliminium

[rotund dune]

I play alot I own it on PC and ps5

[mortal willow]

And i baught it yestorday for ps5

[rotund dune]

Me to

[wild cave]

does it run well on the ps5?

[main vault]

Hey all, been playing with a friend on ps5 for 40ish hrs and now am facing issues. I keep crashing on joining his world, is there a fix? Thanks

[wild cave]

lag?

and are you both on the same update?

[main vault]

Yes we are on the latest save. Also been seeing this issue on the website and the discord

[main vault]

I think it’s lag related, I join the game and it lags within 10 sec and crashes

My friend who is hosting is fine though

[wild cave]

are you using a dedicated server and do both of you have good internet

[main vault]

Not dedicated, and we have good WiFi

[wild cave]

thats rlly odd ask #1038092680493801533 make a post and they should be able to help

might be faster than waiting here for a response

[main vault]

I saw a few posts on that without responses for days

[wild cave]

make one anyway never know someone may respond quite quickly

[main vault]

Did so

[ruby cloud]

If there's no responses to the older posts there's the possibility someone's looking into it🤷‍♂️

[rotund dune]

Ps5 running great for satisfactory

[simple vector]

So if you open your map when your respawning your game crashes

[slow quarry]

Anyone looking to play, I’m stuck and would really appreciate some help 😅

[rotund dune]

Sure

[rotund dune]

Sure

[winged nimbus]

This game gets so intricate it’s INSANE

Haven’t even built the space elevator yet and I’m looking at all the stuff people are doing especially with trains and oh my

[wild cave]

it gets more so aswell

[winged nimbus]

My buddy struggles a bit splitting iron rods to make screw and rods simultaneously so it’s gunna be fun to teach him while I learn

[wild cave]

tell him to use a manifold

[winged nimbus]

A what

[obtuse ivy]

Question my friend is on ps5 I'm on xbox were friends on epic and all linked but he doesn't show up on join game with it set to open

[rotund dune]

It is has some bugs like that@obtuse ivy

[slow quarry]

Sent you a message

[fluid kettle]

Anyone having issues with the second you load into your save your game, instantly black screens, and sends you back to the dashboard?

[rotund dune]

Yeah it happens sometimes

[fluid kettle]

Even weirder is that it loads in sometimes and everything is fine for the first few seconds, and then it just black screens

I cannot figure out what’s happening nor are their logs that show what’s happening

[violet reef]

I have to invite my son in order for him to see the game despite being Epic friends, so for now it seems like cross-play doesn't work because you can't send an invite across console types

[rugged musk]

So as my post says I need help with a rail system and other odds and ends I can’t figure out, so “fulfillment” is not a high priority

[frigid fulcrum]

lol

[limpid iris]

How many somersloops are in the world

[topaz basalt]

There are no somersloops stuck in ground.
