satisfactory-consoles

[wary chasm]

Also is the instant scrap recipe good to use I have blenders unlocked and I think maybe making a factory that builds every or at least important aluminium parts might be very good

[modern heart]

instant scrap is one of the alts with the highest aluminum scrap yield per bauxite

as for nuclear: after uranium rods, only plutonium rods can be sunk again

so if you want nuclear power that doesnt run on a timer, you should unlock plutonium processing

[wary chasm]

So it’s better than alt recipes

[modern heart]

theres only one other alt recipe combo for aluminum

electrode scrap + sloppy alumina

that has the same efficiency

[wary chasm]

Does electrode scarp take petroleum coke or am I thinking of a different alt recipe

[modern heart]

yes it takes coke

[wary chasm]

Is it any different then the other one that takes coal

[modern heart]

its more alumina efficient

and has different water output

just look at it on the wiki if you wanna know the difference

[ivory crow]

Hey quick question have they fixed the milestones trophy yet?

[stuck geode]

Not that I know of

[still lance]

im 99% sure i saw a video mentioning this where you need to make a new save and unlock one thing for it to pop providing you completed it already

[stuck geode]

Really?

[ivory crow]

Ive completed it previously and had a new save didnt work for me but i have seen something before saying it was messed up and had to be done in one sitting which is meh

Literally the last trophy I need

[still lance]

watch?v=ff7kc51OUeg < go to 31 min in , then 34 mins in about the solution
(09/12) (Dev Stream)

he does say its been sent to sony , i'm unsure if we have it yet

[uneven jolt]

Working on making that entirely new factory... dear god its a lot of buildings lol

[stuck geode]

I don’t want to do it in one sitting either

That would take like 10 hours

[uneven jolt]

When im done @surreal lichen ill post a screenshot and tag you

[uneven jolt]

🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️ dont have enough crude oil for the factory to be this big... so i have to shrink it

[rustic jackal]

I've been having an issue with my radial build menu not saving new additions. If anyone knows how to fix that, I would be eternally thankful

[wary chasm]

Are the crystal oscillators gonna be needed for making aluminium products?

[modern heart]

More like aluminum will be needed to make a crystal oscillator product - both get used on a recipe together though so yes i guess?

[fading scarab]

Hi is there that can help me on my world as im stuck on phase 3 and so is my brother in law we both on xbox hope to get a reply back please and thank you

[safe spindle]

does anybody have a problem where the game wont let you manually save nor is the autosave working?

[safe spindle]

yeah i could whatcha need

[fading scarab]

Im stuck on engine and the other part please

[safe spindle]

do you want me to join your world or did you want advice?

[fading scarab]

@safe spindle to help me on my world of that okay please

[safe spindle]

yeah ill dm you

[fading scarab]

@safe spindle thank you

[narrow stream]

I got the game on Xbox on my PC, but it seems to require I use my controller. I can play with keyboard/mouse when I get the game on Steam, which is my preference. Am I doing something wrong?

[rain elk]

hey

somebody want to restart a save ?

[random relic]

The console and desktop versions of the game aren't the same

KB/M support will be added to the console version later

[narrow stream]

Many thanks!

[random relic]

Not sure why'd you play the Xbox version on desktop, unless it enables crossplay and you want to crossplay

You mean downloading it via the Xbox app/MS Store?

[narrow stream]

I bought the game on Xbox, but playing on my PC. When I discovered it required me to use a controller, I bought the game on Steam

[random relic]

I didn't even know you can download the console version on PC this way

[narrow stream]

Surprise 🙂 You can, and it does work... just needs a controller. So I'll use Steam for now until that gets expanded

[random relic]

I'd recommend playing the desktop release now that you own it, it has additional graphics settings and such, so you should be able to configure it better

On top of that you have access to mods and save editors

[narrow stream]

Sounds good! It was my first time playing, but I was playing with a friend who has played for years so he was showing me the settings and such. Although he was a little sad to have to remove his mods since I didn't (yet) have any installed

[random relic]

It's best to start without mods and add them only after you have a grasp of the base game

[narrow stream]

Exactly what we're doing....

There's apparently a double jump mod he was missing, but we learned he could jump on my head and then jump up so that was fun

[short canopy]

You can't. User is on something.
Its streaming only.

Its criminal the console release and of pc releases are incompatible. They need to fix that.

[narrow stream]

I'm not "on something"
I was playing the game on Xbox on my PC, but yes - through cloud on the Xbox app, I didn't download and launch the game if that's what you mean.
Thankfully Ondar understood the question I was asking and helped by answering it

[unreal terrace]

Hey guy's, me and a friend on Ps5 are currently trying to play together but can't seem to join eachother. It happened before but it fixed itself after a day.

Does anyone know anything or any ideas on what to try?

We already did the usual restart and everything but it didn't work. :<

[fierce egret]

wya doing today?

[fierce egret]

do u have multipler enabled? It can turn off

[unreal terrace]

I double checked earlier, it was definitely on

[wary chasm]

Are drones better then trains?

[coarse lava]

Depends.

For simplicity's sake, I'd say probably.

But the throughput and integration that you can get with rails makes it hard to stay away from them.

[uneven jolt]

Why cant I calculate Plutonium fuel rods in Sat tools?

[topaz basalt]

Because there isn't recipe for change from Uranium Fuel Rods to Uranium Waste.
So you need to manually input Uranium Waste as input.

[uneven jolt]

I did that. It still says it can't calculate

[topaz basalt]

Share the attempt?

[uneven jolt]

Hang on. Have to log into discord on my laptop

[uneven jolt]

Do I just post it here?

[topaz basalt]

Yes.

[uneven jolt]

https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production?share=ufYllqbazRtymD9NJOgQ

[topaz basalt]

Because you are asking too much for the Waste you input.

[uneven jolt]

Whats the waste to rod ratio?

[topaz basalt]

200 to 1 for the base recipes.

[uneven jolt]

Holy crap

So I would need to be running my Uranium rod plates for a bit, stockpile waste. In the mean time build the plutonium rod factory and then fire everything up

[topaz basalt]

Remember, those are per minute.
And 1 Plutonium Fuel Rod per minute can keep 10 Nuclear Power Plants fed.

[uneven jolt]

Im gonna sink the rods.

Oh wait

I just reread what you said

10 plants running uranium and make 1 plutonium rod

[topaz basalt]

You input the amount of waste you calculate you will be producing, and then use that Maximize to check how many you can produce, then switch back to per minute and input that previous amount.

[uneven jolt]

Only problem is the uranium nodes are spread the hell out

[topaz basalt]

As Maximize doesn't optimize the chain, only the final amount, so it can use weird recipes in earlier stages and use tons more resources.

[uneven jolt]

OH boy

[topaz basalt]

Just generic Satisfactory Tools usage advice.
Calculate how much Uranium Waste you will be producing.
Add that as Input.
Ask for Maximized Plutonium Fuel Rods.
Check the number that would be produced and copy that up.
Set back to Plutonium Fuel Rod, Items/min, with that number from Maximize.

And then start tweaking alts etc.

[uneven jolt]

So, as an example, say im make 1.5k waste (stupid big number) put that in, see the max number of Rods is 7.5.
Take that number and then start tweaking to simplify everything? Don't tweak first

May have to try that the next time im producing a component for a new factory

[topaz basalt]

Depends what you want.
That is when you have some limiting input and want most you can make.
If you just want specific amount, you do it different way.

[uneven jolt]

got it

thanks

[wary chasm]

Do u need inoized fuel to 100% the game

[topaz basalt]

Unlocking, yes, for "Complete all MAM research trees.", producing, no.

[wary chasm]

So I just need to unlock it I don’t need to produce it aswell?

[topaz basalt]

Yes. You only need to produce stuff to complete Project Assembly (Space Elevator/Phases), everything else is "optional", just there to allow you to do that.

[wary chasm]

Oh cool thanks

Is nuclear pasta one of the most complicated space elevator parts in the whole game?

[uneven jolt]

Looking at this damn satisfactory tools calculator im betting you its up there

[wary chasm]

So it is the most complicated space elevator part in the game

Hey should I bother using plutonium when I unlock it or just use uranium

[quasi frost]

So I am in late phase 3 and umm kinda lost

Idk how to proceed should I build a factory for each of the major components for phase 3 and then transport them to be assembled or what

I am thinking of moving to the desert after I get all hard drives

Do nuclear powerplants give more power than a rocket fuel powerplant?

[woven hazel]

I've watched six different tutorials on block/path signals and I still can't get them to work

[wary chasm]

So I just unlocked rocket fuel and nuclear powerplants but idk which one I should build a powerplant for first

[woven hazel]

I've yet to get to rocket fuel ones so im not sure

From what reddit is saying there's a bunch more products needed for nuclear

[uneven fable]

Hey guys, did the trophies get fixed?

[carmine basalt]

Hey. Is there anyone that wouldn't mind joining my game and helping me set up 2 power plants? 1 of them I had working great until I added oil extraction. The new 1 I cant seem to figure out my water issue.

[limber mantle]

true

from what I have seen, nuclear is insanely complicated, and rocket fuel will generate more than enough power (I have about 600k MW rocket) for what is realistically needed in my experience

[woven hazel]

What type of plant?

[carmine basalt]

@woven hazel coal. Ive somehow had better success on water uphill vs almost flat 😒

[woven hazel]

I'll try my best

[carmine basalt]

Give me about half hour. Taking wife home from work atm

[wary chasm]

Can you transport nitrogen gas with a fluid fright station?

[topaz basalt]

Yes, but doing a container loop instead is much easier and gives longer time between trains, from the compression of the gas when packaged.
You can get it up to the full theoretical fluid freight station throughput, but even harder to get that than with liquids, because of the "fill to same percentage" behavior.

[uneven jolt]

What do you mean a container loop?

[topaz basalt]

Packaging the gas before shipment, unpackaging at other end, sending the empty containers back to be reused.

[uneven jolt]

Oooh

[quasi frost]

How does one make a good looking base since we can’t import blueprints

[sinful wolf]

does anybody here know if satisfactory runs good on ps5?

[carmine basalt]

@sinful wolf this chat here is for console. But yes. It runs great on ps5. Only had 1 issue. And that was my vehicle glitching to the top of a mountain above a cave I was in after I died

[eternal dune]

I have both PC and PS5 versions, and so far the PS5 version just works better in every way for me.

[granite tendon]

Whats the best method for elektric Farm and how to Use

Can anyone help me

[woven hazel]

So what's the plan?

[topaz basalt]

Which is common with PC version.
Vehicles in Caves can drop below ground, or pop up to ground level when you leave the vicinity.

[carmine basalt]

Im hopping on now. Was being hesitant as this was frustrating me last night and this morning. 🤣🤣

@woven hazel ill send you my gt in a dm if thats fine.

[woven hazel]

Yeah

[carmine basalt]

Glad to know thats not just consoles 🤣🤣 I was liken wtf is my vehicle. It had several of the alien tech mats and other mats I needed 🤣🤣

[somber patrol]

Hai

[ruby ginkgo]

ps5 here, I am playing on portal. It' s working fine.

[analog oriole]

Only issue I am having is with alot of stuff built the build menu does start to struggle a small bit

[wary chasm]

Do I need to feed both drone ports with fuel or battery or can just feed one with any type of fuel and the second one doesnt have any fuel

[topaz basalt]

Just one end of the drone route needs to be fueled, drones take fuel for round-trip.

[wary chasm]

Okay but does that mean I need to fuel both ports like the one at the end and the one at the start

[topaz basalt]

No, just one needs to have fuel input.
If that isn't the drone home base, then you need to input just enough fuel for one trip as bootstart fuel.

Into that starting drone port.

[wary chasm]

So only the starting point needs fuel

[topaz basalt]

Drone takes fuel for single round trip:
Home -> Remote -> Home
or
Remote -> Home -> Remote
If the latter, you need that single startup boot fuel load into the Home port, so the drone can get to the remove port and start fueling normally.

[wary chasm]

So it kinda works like truck station?

[topaz basalt]

Ground vehicles try to fill their single stack of fuel to max at any chance they get.
Drones (should) take the exact number of fuel items (rounded up) that they need for that single round trip.

At some point drones did try to fill up to full fuel stack too IIRC, but AFAIK that was a bug.

[wary chasm]

So it isn’t like that anymore?

[topaz basalt]

Only difference is how much fuel a drone takes when it is starting.

[wary chasm]

Is it a lot ?

You can create servers on console that’s crazy

[cloud edge]

Bruhhhhhhhhh, I was 3 minutes away from getting the floor is lava trophy and my game crashed 😭

[winged lake]

Any news on Efficency first trophy fix?

Who here wants to play by the way I’m on PlayStation and I can only play with PlayStation

[mint obsidian]

I’ll join

Ok my name is Tyron-hb

[shy galleon]

Who wants to play with me on PlayStation and EU?

[rapid peak]

Does anyone have tips on using a controller to play this game? I’m having difficulty adjusted rates and other inputs such as color

@somber patrol definitely need it. And im thinking of redoing my main hub.

[somber patrol]

I'm just finishing my coal 16 coal power plant

[somber patrol]

I can help dm me and I'll join ur world

[carmine basalt]

Well, I for some reason, git it into ky geas that power poles abd towers could only do a max mw of 300 🤣 last night was my realization ans shock moment 💀🤣

[somber patrol]

No worry

[carmine basalt]

You on ps or xbox?

[somber patrol]

Xbox

[carmine basalt]

So, ill have to give you my epic id then?

[somber patrol]

I still have issues joining ps5 players

I don't understand how to add someone via in game

Because no access to account

[carmine basalt]

Ah. Well then.

[somber patrol]

[carmine basalt]

There was someone else who i think was able to see my session the other day. We added each other on epic. But it had to be done from their site, and he sent a link where I could add him as a friend

[somber patrol]

BOOOO

Thay should add a way to friend someone from in game

[carmine basalt]

Yup. Im not finding.epics friend list 😒

Ill ask him how he got to it. Could always dl fortnite and do it that way. But then its figuring out how to join

[somber patrol]

Yep

I think I'm too good at the game

[carmine basalt]

Why is that?

[shy galleon]

Who wants to play with me? I’m an EU and PlayStation.

[inner estuary]

Any xbox people wanna streamline a factory in the second starting place?

[woven hazel]

Which one is that?

[uneven jolt]

Rocky Desert i believe

[woven hazel]

Oh never started there yet

[uneven jolt]

Its a solid starting place

[muted dust]

Hi, new to this discord. Is there aanyone interested in sharing with me a few decent blueprints that can help me make my factory more efficient?

I'm on PS5

[atomic stone]

can you use 3rd party blueprints on console?

[topaz basalt]

You cannot.

[muted dust]

but you can join anothers game and save through the blueprint maker.

You just get your friend to load theirs. Then save it to yours manually

[topaz basalt]

Hosts BPs are used in MP.

[muted dust]

oh maybe i am mistaken.

That is what i read when i looked it up.

[topaz basalt]

Unless it is completely changed for consoles.
On PC only hosts BPs are used, and any BPs done are only saved on host.
Clients don't get to bring any, or get to keep any.

[muted dust]

it is different for consoles.

the blueprint is saved to your save file. If you join another players session they can load a blueprint in the blueprint maker. Then you save it as your own through the blueprint make like you would if you made it yourself.

[wary chasm]

Is it a good idea to transport nitrogen gas on the fluid freight station thing

[uneven jolt]

But if you go to a different save it wouldn't be there? Isn't the Blueprint library individually connected to each save

[muted dust]

Yes it would be per save file/playthrough

[uneven jolt]

Right so if you go to your friends world (call it Bravo) and save his blueprints, you can't take it to your world (say Zulu)

[cloud jasper]

I believe it's better to just do a long pipeline delivering the gas as thats what I did and it didnt take long at all for the gas to expand and fill all the pipe segments.

[uneven jolt]

How do you use the advance settings on the train stations? And what are they used for exactly

[worthy spindle]

Do we have an idea of when keyboard and mouse support is coming to Xbox? or not yet

[high furnace]

anyone able to help with coal power?

[halcyon tide]

Yea

U on ps? Im on phase 5 and just found an insane dupe glitch so I kinda ruined my world lmao

[high furnace]

i have 4 generators each with a water extractor, coal is coming in constantly on 3/4 belt mk.2, the last half is currently mk1. im generating around 330 i think. and using under that. but by power keeps tripping

[high furnace]

xbox

[halcyon tide]

Do yk how to add cross platform i do not

[high furnace]

i haven't tried tbh

[worthy spindle]

Do we know when that’s coming out?

[lilac edge]

some time between february and july

[halcyon tide]

Hey signpost!

[worthy spindle]

Alright thanks

[high furnace]

i recently unlocked the dimensionsal depot thats pretty neat

[halcyon tide]

Dimensional is awesome I love it

Makes the game into creative mode

Make it a habit of collecting every mercer sphere you see

[high furnace]

yea, i found sam pretty close to my base

[halcyon tide]

And coal power your water is the issue?

Or is it the belt speeds

If its belts then underclock and place more

If its water place more water extractors

[high furnace]

no, the water is great, i got four water extractors clocked at 150%,each one has a liquid buffer and is getting full capacity on the generator constantly

[halcyon tide]

Upgrade your belts to the highest then

[high furnace]

it might be

[halcyon tide]

Don't use mk1s ever

Literally unless yoy have nothing else

Oh no your belt ain't full!

[high furnace]

atm im in the process of converting it to mk2

[halcyon tide]

It ain't that big of a deal aslokg as yoy can get said mats to the machine fast enough

I just got mk6 belts

And ripped every factory I built apart bc the math wasnt right anymore

[high furnace]

yeah atm iv got the hub bio burners fully over clocked and running everything for reinforced plating

[halcyon tide]

Try to always be upgrading your belts like as the first thing you do

Always get belts upgraded means more efficiently and bigger scale builds

So make a factory exclusively for that tier of belts

Maybe not mk1

Mk2 nd up

[high furnace]

have you had any tractors just up and dissappear? mine shows on the map but i think its in the rock somewhere

[halcyon tide]

Yes tractors are very bugged rn there the soul of a game breaking dupe glitch

2400 sloops a min type game breaking

[high furnace]

i saw that glitch, but not how it happened

[halcyon tide]

I wont explain it bc I want it removed

Ive sent a clip on how to do it every time to css

[high furnace]

fairs

my base is a mess atm XD

[halcyon tide]

One a full survival world I have 15k sloops

No advanced settings on

[high furnace]

can you have multiple worlds saved?

[halcyon tide]

Yep

Theres a load tab under the new game I belive

Or join game

[high furnace]

i kinda wanna make a test world, on god mode

[halcyon tide]

On main menu

You can turn off the animal hostility

In setting ita not an advanced setting

[high furnace]

so i can just mess around see ehat works

[halcyon tide]

I just turned it off for my nuclear plant cuz the node im using is under the map basically

[high furnace]

yup, you can even turn spiders into cats XD

[halcyon tide]

Yeee

Ive got arachnophobia for those big guys not so much the little stingers

[high furnace]

which actually sounds more disturbing than being killed by a cat instead of a spider

[halcyon tide]

Yea it really does

[high furnace]

those are the worst! they can jump up high too

[halcyon tide]

I wouldnt know I habe mob hostility off

Im there to build a nuclear power plant that puts chernobyl to shame

Im manufacturing like 200 uranium fuel rods a min

😭🗣

[high furnace]

i might actually do that, can you do that on existing save? the amount of times iv been killed by flying crabs

[halcyon tide]

Yea

Go to settings

Its in normal settings

Im gane

[high furnace]

also the flowery plant things that move, can they be killed? got like roots for legs

[halcyon tide]

Those will attack either way

[lilac edge]

sneak up on the hatchers

[halcyon tide]

But yes they can

NObelisk!

My personal favourite the nucker nobelisk

[high furnace]

yee, i now got that down to a tee

[halcyon tide]

Nuclear*

[high furnace]

lol

[halcyon tide]

Oh! Side note dont place more than 50 nucler nobelisks then pull the trigger

[high furnace]

just unlocked rebar gun too

[halcyon tide]

Your whole console will break

[high furnace]

noted

[halcyon tide]

And max cluster nobelisk is like 150

Normal is close to 1k

[high furnace]

ok

[halcyon tide]

Ive stress tested every bomb 💀

[halcyon tide]

The colors were really pretty tho I will admit

[high furnace]

have you done any of the sam power generators?

[visual canyon]

I didn't have arachnophobia until I played this game

[nocturne needle]

Same 🤣🤣🤣 the big one chased me for 1,000 meters I didn’t know it was still chasing me

[visual canyon]

They can really jump too. We're told this is an alien planet but I'm pretty sure it's just Australia

[rain lintel]

is anyone experiencing crashes on the PlayStation port it seems to hard crash my console every time i launch the game for some reason

[nocturne needle]

Yeah lol

[uneven jolt]

Sooo I just learned you can be too far out over the water to place the extractor

[lilac edge]

looks at CM they had when game was announced

seems legit

[clear moss]

Have the devs said anything about the broken milestones trophy on ps5 yet? Been broken for 9 weeks now.

theres 2 people on psnprofiles that have obtained plat, has there been recent fixes not mentioned in this channel?

[topaz basalt]

The achievement works, but the triggering is bugged.
Currently need to complete all the milestones in one sitting without reloads, in under 24h realtime.

[simple lantern]

what

[topaz basalt]

Slowdown in fixing is from Sony bureaucracy for changing game specific achievement related code deployed to Sony servers.
To change that from "complete all subtasks in one session" to "complete all subtasks once ever".

[clear moss]

A few people on psnprofiles tried doing it in one sitting and didn’t pop either. No idea how they manage to speed run it, takes me a few hundred hours.

Hopefully they get it fixed soon. Not sure if the devs have mentioned the bug anywhere.

[high furnace]

yes! the can, like 20 m! i was building a jank stair/ramp down to some sam, and one just eyed me up. then jumped like 20/30m up to me! i promptly gave him the gift of 6 rebar to the head

[high furnace]

huh..

[wary chasm]

Then if I do need to transport nitrogen gas then how do I go about doing that

How do u unlock portals?

Can u type what clock speed you want your machine to be on ps5

[clear moss]

Could be done with a couple really big trains but personally I would just build a really long pipe / section of pipes. Can do it fairly quickly and easily with blueprints and auto connect.

[sturdy glen]

Anay one on xbox that what to join a fresh wrld

[wary chasm]

Is aluminium casting needed outside of making products that need them in their recipe

[cloud jasper]

You have to unlock the tech which I think is in phase 3 or 4 to put pressure into the nitrogen gas nodes and the portals I know are in phase 5 if I remember right.

[tulip scaffold]

i’ve used them for a couple milestones in tier 7 or 8 at some point. i can’t recall any machinery using them though.

I am very off early in the story I'm only on like stage six of the hub and I'm trying to build the Christmas tree and I've got the cartridges for the first part and I feel like I'm missing something cuz I don't know how to build it

[flint jungle]

If you have cloud gaming you can play games your console isn’t powerful enough to play through cloud gaming

[strong sedge]

Right

[half depot]

Well don't everybody line up at once 🤣

[ruby urchin]

Anyone else have this issue - every time I restart the game, my favourites wheels and my To Do list is set back to some point early in my save .. I found similar issues on PC but people could delete files in app data, I can't do that on console. Reinstall?

[uneven jolt]

Where's a good place to set up a nuclear network? And should I just train all the uranium in the map to the plant?

[visual canyon]

Over the ocean

There's lots of water, nothing in the way, no big radioactive area you need to go near

[edgy moon]

I build nuclear in the voids down low near the bottom

[sterile spruce]

@strong sedge @flint jungle Just saw that in the Xbox One shop Satisfactory appears and Cloud Gaming is labeled. That is interesting, thanks to both!

[flint jungle]

Happy to help!

[rapid thistle]

Is there anyway to find a person and or people to play satisfactory on Xbox with reliably?

[random relic]

Well, you can find people to play with in #1201555265942724758 but there's no way to ensure they'll be reliable. If you have friends with an Xbox, you can try to convince them to get the game

Your question can't really be answered

[silk lagoon]

Yo guys! Nice to meet ya all!
Wanted to buy this game for my ps5 and beat it for platinum trophy, but seems like it's bugged. Or developers fixed it already?

[crude berry]

Yes

[dim wagon]

Anyone German ? Searching for anyone to start a new world dm me

[wary chasm]

Is transporting nitrogen gas with a train the best way to transport nitrogen gas

[stuck geode]

Not really fixed yet. Only 1 of the trophies is still bugged

[modern heart]

Depends. If you pipe it directly -not really.
Gas behaves different to liquids and so you cant buffer it well.

Packaged gas is really compact on the other hand

Packaged gas with trains is only worth it in large amounts. Else i'd say try a drone

[cloud edge]

I'm on my first playthrough and I'm beginning to realize my factory is seemingly always trying to off itself because of how I messed up with the pipes

And good lord I have absolutely zero idea how to go about fixing it

Whoops :p

[modern heart]

Keep it simple and keep it safe

Keep systems small if possible.

If you have a giant factory that needs lots of fluid, dont try to pipe it in one single giant pipe network

Make multiple smaller independant networks

[cloud edge]

I just need water for my coal plants atm

[kindred beacon]

Your mileage may vary, but don't be afraid to start a new factory a block away or, like I did after a lot of agonizing, bulldoze everything except the miners and start fresh. Having a fresh slate and more technology unlocked helps realign how you want to set up your assembly lines.

Sometimes it's worth it just to get the foundations laid out higher and larger, if that makes sense

[cloud edge]

I did that back when I started phase 2 and I've not really done much to progress towards phase 3 until now which is when I realized all my power plants weren't getting watered properly

[kindred beacon]

That's funny, I was doing the same thing last night 🤣

I had set up turbo fuel at my next location and looked at power, seeing it fluctuating all over the place. Took me 5 minutes to realize it was my old coal power plants I forgot about that ran through all the water in their fluid buffers. Tricked me into thinking they were self sufficient

[strong sedge]

When I am on business travel I have always a Xbox controller with and play it over Xcloud.

[wispy locust]

Will modding of any kind come to console

[surreal lichen]

Very unlikely

[modern heart]

devs said console is too modding-unfriendly

[surreal lichen]

There's an alternate universe where CSS decided to have "native" modding support along with v1.0, and I'm guessing if we had landed in that universe then modding for consoles would be more likely

In the end, I think they thought that the community-driven modding was probably better than what they'd be able to do anyway, so just left it at the status quo. (That plus Not Introducing "Native" Modding Support™ meant a hell of a lot of time saved for them to work on other stuff instead.)

[lilac edge]

if there were an alternate universe where satisfactory were to have native modding support, it would've landed way before 1.0

[lilac edge]

June 22nd, 2018 Q&A
Q&A: Will there be mods?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1E6EWrAsII&t=91

So we had actually been planning MOD support from the very beginning and we even have the foundations laid down for it but what we found was it was adding so much development time to Satisfactory and what we really thought we needed right now is to get the base game right get it tight, robust and running smoothly So because it was adding so much development time. We kind of stopped working on it so we don't have support for right now. We can't really promise that we will have it now or in the future But it's obviously a really good idea.

[fast gust]

Is there a vc here?

[surreal lichen]

Ah, I'd thought that mod support was something that was in the potential pipeline for 1.0, too. Though as always I may have just been mistaken. :D

[surreal lichen]

Nah, too difficult/expensive to moderate properly

[lilac edge]

point being they were looking into it for a while before the community implementation just got too good to usurp

I can see official modding apis maybe coming, but I don't see mods on console happening without css going full bethesda

(i.e. spinning up their own mod directory with pc/console support, requiring mod authors to effectively post in two places at once)

[surreal lichen]

Yeah, it'd be a hell of a lot of work

[lilac edge]

I could see them maybe coordinating with the modding community to get something solid in place for a sequel...

[uneven jolt]

How do I fix that weird glitch we you overlap a foundation or a painted beam and it keeps flickering?

[sturdy oracle]

Hey everyone, I’m having trouble with cross play from Xbox to ps5. We have epic on and friends added as well as have our games set to multiplayer but we can’t join each others game. Anything I’m doing wrong?

[rustic jackal]

I think i might have gone a bit overboard
Decided to fully sloop my rocketfuel production for the fun of it and I am just now realizing that I have got the infrastructure down to produce 18k rocketfuel, but not to use it at all

Even overclocked I will need 1800 generators

[lilac edge]

that would probably be z-fighting, and the only solution is to offset them enough to not

[uneven jolt]

Ok. Thanks

[wary chasm]

Does it matter if when you build something it says clipping may occur

[modern heart]

Then it just clips

It doesnt disrupt function

[wary chasm]

Okay thanks

[uneven jolt]

Hey I posted a screenshot of a "monument" I tried to make. Can yall take a look and if you have any helpful ideas on how to refine it, would you share?

Another "crash on save" player checking in here. Posted on Reddit about it and on the QA forums, just looking around to see if anyone's been able to come up with any kind of solution.

[wary chasm]

What recipe for encased uranium cell is the best

[patent storm]

If you want the most cells from a recipe, disregarding resource need, i'd use Infused Uranium Cell Alternate Recipe

Made in a manufacturer, not a blender

And only outputs the uranium cells, unlike the sulfuric acid byproduct from blender.

For Plutonium fuel pellets, i HIGHLY recommend using the alternate "Instant Plutonium Cell" recipe because you only use aluminum casing and non-fissile uranium.

They're made by inputting these materials into a particle accelerator, and by using Power shards you can increase that production even more.

Wow, it almost sounds like i know what i'm talking about

[wary chasm]

I don’t have plutonium unlocked yet but I do think at this point of the game I’m in it would be helpful to make a uranium nuclear plant that’s kinda why I’m asking about this

[patent storm]

Absolutely!

Happy to help :D

[naive monolith]

does anyone know when the unlock all milestones trophy bug going to be fixed? in my new playthrough also didnt get it unfortunately

[topaz basalt]

Not even the devs know yet. It will be posted on the channel as pinned post patchlog when it happens.

[fast mirage]

Hey how is everyone doing?

[quasi frost]

Is efficiency first achiment broken

Cause I did all the milestones and nothing

[topaz basalt]

For PS5, yes.

Cause is known, fix is known, but deployment was AFAIK stuck in Sony side bureucracy before christmas, based on CSS dev streams.

[ivory crow]

Yeah sure it’s Sonys fault lol

[topaz basalt]

Not Sonys fault, but fix is being delayed by Sony bureucracy.
CSS delivered bad spec/code for the achievement tracking, that is handled on Sony servers.
But amending that is for some reason much more difficult than just delivering patch for the actual game.

[ivory crow]

My issue here is that wasn’t this an issue on steam also and they launched with the same issue with trophies on ps5 seems like they never learned from their original mistake

[topaz basalt]

No, with Steam there is issue where in some cases sending specific milestone doesn't get registered for unknown reasons.
For very small amount of people.
Possibly MP and another player sent the milestone and the person complaining wasn't close enough to HUB.
Or possibly you can run out of the range? Where it doesn't get registered when you press, but only when the freighter actually leaves or something.

And you need to resend that/those milestones only.

[ivory crow]

But without being a dev you can’t confirm if that is the same issue here, we are only taking their word for it but I doubt they’d admit fault if it was just sloppy on their part

[topaz basalt]

And they did say they fucked up the original set?
And that is why it isn't working.
They just complained they cannot get the fix into use because of Sony slowwalking the fix deployment.
Where the exacts weren't told, only that it needed changes to that achievement progress tracking code on Sony servers.

[ivory crow]

But the main issue here is how did the dev fuck up the same achievement nearly a year apart

Don’t get me wrong it’s an impressive game, I enjoyed playing with my mates but our main purpose was to platinum it and it frustrates me having that 1 trophy I can’t get

[quasi frost]

Fucking gotta be kidding me

I have been to every biome and can’t get that trophy

[topaz basalt]

That should have been fixed in 1.1.1.2 CL#460993, on 2025-12-08.

And after that people have been able to get that one.

[bright bramble]

So my buddy and I have been playing for a while, and switched to console. A problem that we're having is that the game sometimes freezes and so we can't join each other's world, even though it's online and ready to play.

[quasi bison]

well what consoles are you two using?

[bright bramble]

Xbox one he has series x, i have series s

[uneven jolt]

Is there any talk of them allowing us to import blueprints to console?

@rough granite where did you find that picture of the hex color codes you posted yesterday? Some of the codes are distorted when I zoom in

[quasi frost]

Still not working

[topaz basalt]

And what version is your game currently then? Should show up in title screen.

[bright bramble]

Xbox one he has series x, i have series s

(i'm resending this reply, just in case you didn't see my earlier reply. Sorry everyone)

[quasi bison]

oh

idk about that, but ik that ps cant connect to xbox but xbox can connect to ps

[bright bramble]

Dang

[gaunt hinge]

I just finished phase 5. Can I use the blueprints I've made in my next playthrough?

[surreal lichen]

I don't think there's a supported way to move them over on console, no, alas

On PC, you have to go manually copy the blueprints over to the new save's blueprints area

(and even then you have to re-organize it into your categories; they import in the flat "uncategorized" section)

[gaunt hinge]

Gotcha. That's a bummer 😢

[surreal lichen]

If you're looking for a happier angle, you could take it as an opportunity to create better blueprints the second time around! :D

(I've actually never taken any of my blueprints with me from playthrough to playthrough, even though I've always had it on PC; I tend to like building stuff up from scratch regardless)

[gaunt hinge]

for sure. I didn't get into MK6 belts etc on my first playthrough. Will probably stick around in this save for a bit longer.

[wary chasm]

Is it a good idea to use a train to transport water into a nuclear power plant?

[woeful heath]

Probably not.. If there's any hickup in the train moving the water throughput will be affected

You might be able to make it work, but I wouldn't count on it being very stable

Also fluids are so fucking weird.. I was trying to implement a variable input priority junction and it kept backing up.. Until I ran across someone else who had the same question in #1038092680493801533 and they mentioned that putting a valve afterwards seems to fix it.. And I just tried that and now it seems to prioritize my aluminum byproduct correctly :/

Ah wait no spoke too quickly it broke again it seems

[halcyon tide]

Anyone on rn?

[modern heart]

an image of the VIP junction build would help.
specifically of the junctions.
Theres a specific way to build them and if the junctions arent facing the right way it doesnt work

[rough granite]

Nope

[stiff roost]

Anyone else got the glitch where stuff won’t rotate to one of the 4 default orientations on a platform?

[topaz basalt]

Change the orientation of the foundation.
Returning bug where one exact foundation orientation makes one building rotation be skipped.

Used to be when you were doing the foundation slab at 45 degrees from the cardinal directions, and then with one specific of the four foundation rotations.

[wary chasm]

So how should go about getting water to a nuclear reactor

Also should I do a nuclear powerplant that takes plutonium or should I only do uranium

[woeful heath]

#1459434445634539591 message

[wary chasm]

Is it a good idea to build more then one nuclear powerplant or is one just enough

[stiff roost]

Huh that’s weird

I’ll look into it

[uneven jolt]

Is there a point in making multiple nuclear factories? Or should I just gather all the uranium and train ship it to the factory I made? Also, how big of a nuke factory should I make?

[modern heart]

As big as you need

[wary chasm]

How am I supposed to build a nuclear powerplant in the dune dessert?!

Should I just build a nuclear power plant in the ocean because I don’t seem it’s possible to build one in the dune dessert

Is it a good idea to skip uranium powerplant and make to plutonium I haven’t made a nuclear powerplant but I’m gonna need to because my current power it isnt enough through the game so I need to build a nuclear power plant but I’m afraid todo something wrong & idk how & where to start

[limber mantle]

How much power do you need?

If you only need 6-800k MW then building rocket fuel should suffice

[limber mantle]

and should be much simpler to make

[uneven jolt]

I found a spot on a "cliff" by the water. Im going to build the factory making the uranium rods on the cliff and then have the rods go down conveyor lifts to the nuke plants. The only thing I need to do now is set up the plutonium rod plant so I can turn the uranium waste into the plutonium rods to sink them

[uneven jolt]

You have to do uranium because you need uranium waste and non-fissle uranium to make the plutonium rods

[topaz basalt]

Uranium Waste is needed, but nothing else Uranium Ore sourced is needed for Plutonium Fuel Rods with base recipes.
Only with specific alts to get more from same Waste.

[wary chasm]

Oh so I can’t make a whole plutonium setup layout first because I need to have an already running uranium nuclear factory?

[wary chasm]

Is that a good spot to build a nuclear factory?

[uneven jolt]

You need water for the nuke plants so it works. Resources are relatively close by

[wary chasm]

I know you need water I just wanna know what location is best for that and other needed reasoures for a nuclear plant

[surreal lichen]

Honestly water is the main thing. There are few places on the map with everything, and if you're building out sufficient scale even then you'll need to be importing material

By that point in the game you've got access to all available logistics methods, so location really doesn't matter much at all, apart from easy water access

[surreal lichen]

Nothing preventing you from building out Uranium+Plutonium at the same time. That's actually what I usually do; I don't tend to send Uranium into the system until I've got things set up all the way through Plutonium rods

[wary chasm]

Oh really okay well I tried building a nuclear plant layout in the dune dessert but there’s like no water there so do you know any other locations that are easy to transport items to & if it has plenty water needed for uranium and plutonium and thinking about doing plutonium also not just uranium based powerplant

[surreal lichen]

My advice remains the same: build anywhere there's lots of water. Everything else can easily be logistic'd in. Water's the main thing.

If you're building a modestly-sized plant then a lot of folks do like the swamp

On my last nuclear plant literally the only non-water resource I used "locally" was sulfur; literally everything else was sent in

In re: other locations that are easy to transport items to -- by that stage of the game, that's literally anywhere on the map. You've got belts/vehicles/trains/drones. The map is your oyster. :)

[remote locust]

Des fr ?

[cloud edge]

What does temp mean in terms of node purity?

[surreal lichen]

Just a display bug on the map. They're ordinary nodes

(Don't remember what purities the "temp" ones actually are, but there's nothing actually special about 'em)

[cloud edge]

So normal?

[surreal lichen]

Normal in that it's been happening for awhile, though it's definitely a bug. It's not just you, regardless. :)

[slender marsh]

Is crossplay fixed?

[rough haven]

Anyone want to play? 21 +

[uneven jolt]

I thought it just meant temporary and was referring to the weird looking formation that capped the nodes and that are scattered through the map

[nova nest]

Can you use 3 drone ports one connected to each and it will work for example one port is for fuel one is for the resource and one is to receive the resource would that work

[wary chasm]

Okay then

I know

I think the coal isn’t getting to the last generator

Is your consumption going over the grid limit?

Even if only for half a second that can kill your grid

Also, it sounds like more coal supplied should fix both your grids if you simply added more generators

[crystal junco]

Hey all, kinda new here. May I ask a few questions?

I'm trying to recreate the main screen factory and was curious as to if anyone had any info?

I'm on Xbox rn, and I'm using the game as both a good game to relax too, and also a teaching tool for logistics.

It got me curious.. I'm sure the devs made a full factory to use as the main screen (the one with the street, elevator, and the three band belt from one side to the other).

I'm genuinely curious if there is a download seed, or even a YouTube video explaining location and factory setup.

For the life of me I can figure out /why/ they did that setup. It's bugging me badly so any info is greatly appreciated!

[tulip scaffold]

I cannot help, fyi I just wanted to say that I never considered the location for that factory until now… or the moving items. Now I also have the same questions 🤔🤔

The questions & help channel may help also though?

[crystal junco]

I wonder if I can throw this on reddit and have a dev respond, lol

The things that bug me is.. well location.

But.. wtf are they doing??

[topaz basalt]

Nothing.
It isn't real factory, it is just thing made to look cool.

[opaque crow]

Hello! Any information about when will keyboard and mouse be available for Xbox?

[topaz basalt]

Even the devs don't know if that will ever come.
Needs to get permission from MS first.

[opaque crow]

Uhmm...so bad. I am planning to buy the game if they do

[robust crypt]

The porting of the game is done by a external company. Microsoft and Sony are weird about KB and mouse support. I blame competitive first person shooters

[topaz basalt]

Paranoid about controller users being left as second class citizens in any game.
Even SP only with usable controller implementation.

[robust crypt]

Ive never understood it from a user pov mouse and keyboard is cheap.

As a corporation forcing a user to pay $100 for a controller is profit margins.

[opaque crow]

That's exactly my case. My controller started drifting and i bought a K+M instead of a 100$ controller

[robust crypt]

I was there 3000 years ago playing unreal tournament on ps2 with kb and mouse. Being yelled at do to my "unfair advantage) which any player could spend $5 to get. My kb and m cam from a dumpster

[topaz basalt]

AFAIK most of the console ongoing support is now back with CSS itself.
With just consultations with the external company that did most of the porting work and controller UI work for both console and PC versions.
But AFAIK the major pain point right now is getting those permissions to actually deploy KB&M support to console(s), and work to implement that isn't being done until there is very high chance it could actually be pushed to players.

[robust crypt]

Seems like you got you finger on the pulse ^-^

[topaz basalt]

Just based on the dev streams and dev comments in here.

[high furnace]

has anyone made logistics floors?

[robust crypt]

Many I like them above and below

[high furnace]

how do you build yours? would 2m be enough space for floors? and would half plates be good for logistic walls?

[surreal lichen]

IMO 2-wall-height (or 8m) is my minimum when I'm using 'em

[high furnace]

currently building a new factory and wanna make it as clean as possible

[surreal lichen]

I generally want enough room to freely move around regardless of what belts/splitters/etc are doing

[robust crypt]

I used to do 4m but found it to short. Ive upgraded to 10m.

I suggest getting the build to max height achievement. Puts the space you have into perspective. Spoiler ||its a lot||

[surreal lichen]

Also lets you more easily use both floor and ceiling-mounted belts

[high furnace]

i want it to be as compact as possible

[robust crypt]

Then tight with no logistics floors maybe the way to go.

[surreal lichen]

As compact as possible would imply no logistics floors. :D Never actually need them, with sufficient layout planning. :)

Anyway, as with essentially everything else in the game, in the end it's very much up to you. There's no "right" or "wrong" way to put your factory together so long as it's outputting what you want it to output

[high furnace]

true,just trying to improve on last one i made

last was 6×6 and a routed convyers outside and up to next floor

this one is 9x9

[gaunt hinge]

Spent about 3 hours last night fucking around with pipes/water for a coal power plant. Fun times! 😢

Ahh coal the start of energy

[wary chasm]

How do I stop my um refinery from stopping production I have it make aluminium scarp I put the output pipe back into the other refinery making sloppy alumina but eventually it stops production of scrap it’s always that it has 49 or something water in it and it’s still happening

[umbral flume]

Easiest way to get rid of the water output is to make wet concrede out of it, way less complicated then let the water flow back into the alu production

[robust crypt]

You spelt nitro rocket fuel wrong

[umbral flume]

True

[buoyant schooner]

Anyone want to join my world they can

I’m on ps5

[surreal lichen]

If you're trying to merge the "fresh" and "recycled" water into the same pipe system, that can be done (and be done solidly), but it can be tricky to get right. The most reliable method involved making a "VIP Junction" as described in the pipeline manual: https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/images/Pipeline_Manual.pdf

Personally I recommend keeping the fresh and recycled on totally separate systems, though. You may need to underclock/overclock some things to get the numbers to line up just right, though. Some examples of that: #design-and-architecture message

The other option is what Nitr0 recommended; you can take the recycled water and use it up in some other process instead (like Wet Concrete). Personally I tend to find that a bit wasteful, but it would certainly do the trick. :)

[high furnace]

can I share screenshots in this channel?

[surreal lichen]

ok

[karmic nest]

Is anyone playing on PS5 in a party with Xbox on the same server?

[strong sedge]

It’s more Sonie….. many Xbox game has K/M support .. like fs2020 and fa2024

Fs2024

[pale gate]

Is satisfactory on gamepass?

[wary chasm]

Is that the only option?

[wind tulip]

no

[remote roost]

Question: is having a machine on standby the same as setting it to 1% clock speed to fill pipelines?

[modern heart]

no. on standby they dont accept liquids or solids

only generators do

[cloud jasper]

No I don't believe so.

[cloud jasper]

I made tunnels around the outer edges of my city base to hide as much conveyor belts as I could. And then built on top of those tunnels as well.

[high furnace]

ahh ok

[long bridge]

@tulip scaffold & @crystal junco I cannot help but if you look closely n long enough, you’ll spot an Easter egg item on the middle belt pass through

[long bridge]

IMO logistics flooring is best at 8m. Reason: I will hide all my conveyor belts & power cable system inside the floor

That’s tedious & takes a lot more time but looks cleaner, completely up to you

[long bridge]

Yes, I use auto save & tge interval is set at 2 minutes

[half depot]

Should I go with the alternative screw blueprint or the alternative steel plate

[umbral flume]

Get more harddrives and get rid of screws

[umbral flume]

Probably not but hard to see your problem without pics

[karmic nest]

Is anyone playing on PS5 in a party with Xbox on the same server?

[mossy bluff]

Ngl, tempted to make a factory similar to the ones seen in Avatar

[carmine basalt]

Building a bi directional train, do I need 2 train stations on each end of the final stops?

[lilac edge]

consoles don't have dedicated server support yet

[modern heart]

no just one station on each end of the rail line

the stations should face "away" from each other

[carmine basalt]

@modern heart that part i knew. Just couldnt see if I needed 2 at each end. Should I still place an empty platform? Or can I just run track after I fill up the liquid or freighter spots?

[modern heart]

you can just run tracks for the trailing locomotive

[karmic nest]

This means you can't play on the same server on PS5 and Xbox.

[carmine basalt]

No. But there is crossplay. And im guessing they are asking to figure out how to join a buddy.

[lilac edge]

they don't have servers

is peer to peer

[carmine basalt]

Thank you.

[karmic nest]

reply in private messages

[lilac edge]

not gonna respond to private messages that I don't need to

[karmic nest]

at least read it

[lilac edge]

nope

public chat exists for a reason

[karmic nest]

Got it, thanks for the help, in quotes.) 👍

[carmine basalt]

@karmic nest always ask someone before sending a message. As thats how most accounts get hacked on discord.....so neclzt time. Just ask 1st. If you really need help. Someone in the server will help you. But in server. Not in dms usually. But again. Always ask 1st before sending a dm

[karmic nest]

I understand, but I need help, there is an error on the console, but support says there are no solutions for it on the Internet, and I want to know who had this on their console

[karmic nest]

Also, we don't need a dedicated server since the console doesn't have one. We're using crossplay, but we're getting an error when connecting. I can send a photo.

[carmine basalt]

@karmic nest why not go to the developers site. Or steam profile(as im sure they have 1) abd look for a help option there. The dev team would be the best bet on getting your issue fixed.

[karmic nest]

There is no Steam on PS5)

[carmine basalt]

@karmic nest 🤦‍♂️. Use your phone, or a computer.

You can also get your screenshots from ps to your phone by downloading the ps mobile app

[karmic nest]

I already wrote that this game's support team hasn't responded for a week, and there's no information online about a solution to this problem. That's why I'm writing to see if anyone else has had this issue and has resolved it.

[granite tendon]

question when comes out mouse and keyboard on ps5?

[lilac edge]

1.2

[cunning hearth]

Is Multiplayer working now on Console

[carmine basalt]

Do you lose cases when unackaging them? I had tons going through a loop to now none.

[surreal lichen]

Nope, packaging loops can be "closed," where the packages just spin around in a loop. In a Packaged Diluted Fuel loop for instance you can have little modules of 2x Packager + 1x Refinery, stocked with maybe 20 Empty Packages and that'll run forever (given eternal HOR+Water inputs, anyway)

(And if you're packaging liquids for transfer via vehicles/trains/drones, you can always send the empty packages back to the start via the same method)

[carmine basalt]

@surreal lichen well, Ive lost about over 1000 cases to a closed loop well kind of closed. A drone uses batteries. But takes packaged water and alumina between a bauxite farm and main hub.

[surreal lichen]

Unless there's a sink somewhere which eats them, they must be somewhere. :D

(Packaged fuel used in drones/vehicles (as fuel, not cargo) does end up destroying the container, fwiw)

[carmine basalt]

There is no sink on these lines. Only alt fabric and quartz are sunk atm 💀

[dense eagle]

is there anything that the console version dosent have compared pc? (not including world edits and that)

[surreal lichen]

I don't think so. Though I've often wondered if it's got the codex search bar, since that's generally interacted-with by typing in search terms

[south walrus]

Yes

Console can type too

[bright bramble]

So is anyone else having trouble with hover packs going up and not being able to come down?

[surreal lichen]

Use the "crouch" key (no clue what that is on console, though)

[bright bramble]

No, I mean, when the crouch button stops working. And it won't let you go down. It only goes up even though you don't want it to go up. It just starts going up and won't go down even though you're not pushing the button

[topaz basalt]

Your up control got stuck.
You need to press and release that.

[wary chasm]

Huh okay well it’s fine I ended up making 3 refineries making wet concrete it actually worked better then I thought

[fervent halo]

It is a problem and it isn't your controler. I just tap the up/jump and it stops the accent. Bad bug.

[wary chasm]

If I wanted to make inoized fuel would a need to be at phase 5

[modern heart]

yes because it needs automated power shards

[wary chasm]

You can automate power shards?!

[modern heart]

ionized fuel consumes power shards

without an endless supply of shards, you cannot make ionized fuel

[wary chasm]

Oh so I can’t like place a storage container and place all my power shards & then search for more power slugs

[modern heart]

you will run out of shards

very fast

[wary chasm]

Oh okay

Hey so is 54,000 mw enough to carry me through end game I have one small coal power plant one regular fuel plant & one big rocket fuel plant at the blue crater & im wondering if I should build a nuclear powerplant at the dune dessert I was thinking of building 15 nuclear reactors 5 getting plutonium fuel rods and 10 getting uranium fuel rods

[surreal lichen]

All depends on how "big" you want to build. Folks have beaten the game with less than 20GW, so 54 would feel roomy in comparison. :)

[gritty karma]

not necessarily if you get the dark ion fuel recipe i mean the dark ion recipe takes packed rocket fuel but no power shards to make ionized fuel

[wary chasm]

I just wanna build big to the point where I don’t need to worry about a broken fuse according

[surreal lichen]

It really does all depend on what your own idea of "big" is. My advice is to just keep an eye on your power grid -- if your max consumption is ever getting to within like 1/3 or 1/4 of the Production line, then you'd probably want to make your next project Build More Power™. :)

As I say, 54GW could certainly do the trick, at least

[wary chasm]

Oh my current max consumption is 24Gw

[wary chasm]

Oh cool alright

[simple vector]

Has anyone else been able to make categories for blueprints? I can’t seem to add one

[lusty berry]

Go to edit catagory

In blueprint tab and click on it and you should see a add catagory thing popup below your current catagory

[short canopy]

It's kinda flakey.

I have best results doing so outside the blueprint machine

[worthy agate]

on the Satisfactory Console what's the command to give myself a mercer sphere, i deleted a dimensional depot and it didn't return my damn sphere

[modern heart]

Theres no command, its advanced game settings.
You enable them before you load the save and then you can use extra settings from the menu

Note that this disables achievements

[topaz basalt]

And are you sure it didn't go into some disassembly crate on the map?

[worthy agate]

yeah, i'm sure, i've cleared all of them and its fine, i used SML to make a dimensional depot, disabbled cheats then disassembled it which returned my mercer sphere

[topaz basalt]

Why are you talking on console channel if you are on PC and using mods?

[worthy agate]

i thought this was for the in game console

mb

[wraith karma]

Game is so buggy and crashes since christmas updait

[high furnace]

whats the most effective way to deliver fuel to fuel generators ? is it better to pipe it direct, package then unpack at the power station? or build power by fuel source?

if i pipe it, its basically all downhill so flow should be fine

[topaz basalt]

Not common issue, something about your install or your save.
Try with new world first to see if it is save or install.

[fallow monolith]

i haven’t had a single game crash in the 35 hours i’ve played

[topaz basalt]

There are some long term issues where single belt connection can get bugged while being built, which then start to cause crashes until removed and replaced.
Easier to get if you work very fast.
And easier for clients to cause than host.

Usually starting to only manifest after save and reload cycle after being built

[wary chasm]

Are battery only worth it for drones and are they the best fuel for drones

[surreal lichen]

Batteries are in a bit of a weird spot since 1.0; you can do perfectly fine without them. They make for a good drone + vehicle fuel, and are still used in one alt recipe, so they're not entirely useless, but they've definitely been demoted

You can check out the wiki page on Drones for the exact stats on fuel types. They're not the "best" in any category, really, though they're still a prefectly fine fuel

They provide the same flight speed as Packaged Rocket Fuel, but RF is slightly more energy dense, so RF would last slightly longer

Depending on circumstance, it's possible that batteries might be the most convenient fuel to start out with, with drones, though if you can spare some aluminum for Rocket Fuel packaging, that'd probably be the more straightforward process

[wary chasm]

Oh so battery serves the same stats as packaged rocket fuel but they don’t require any of the stuff you need to make rocket fuel

[surreal lichen]

Likewise, rocket fuel doesn't require the stuff you need to make batteries. That argument can go either way. :D

Not exact stats. As I say, RF is technically more energy-dense per unit. RF should theoretically last you a bit longer, if you're comparing identical production rates of batteries vs RF

[wary chasm]

Huh?

[surreal lichen]

Although anecdotally, I've found the energy density difference between batteries and RF to be pretty insignificant in practice, for drones

[wary chasm]

So?

[surreal lichen]

Sorry, not sure what needs clarification. :)

For drones, RF and Batteries are quite similar, though they're not exactly the same

[wary chasm]

So the difference between RF & batteries Is that rocket fuel will last longer than batteries aj I correct or no

[surreal lichen]

As I say, the wiki page on Drones would have all the exact numbers

[surreal lichen]

Theoretically, yes. In my observations, the practical difference is practically negligible, but RF will theoretically last you a bit longer

!wikisearch drone

[weary dawn]

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

[wary chasm]

Oh okay then are batteries more easier to craft compared to rocket fuel

[short canopy]

Doesn't matter really.
So much of this game is preference.

I just put together an aluminum factory with sloppy alumina and pure aluminum ingots and I'm trying to recycle the water back into production so I don't need packagers and stuff....

Completely unnecessary

But feels good to get dialed in.

[robust crypt]

I personally like having my water packager, refinery to make the packaged fuel and the unpacker as one blueprint. Thenpipe the fuel to the generator bank. I like setting up simplified banks to make build modular and easier to trouble shoot

Personal preferance

[short canopy]

p r e f e r e a n c e

[surreal lichen]

I suspect the general consensus would be that Rocket Fuel is easier, particularly with the Nitro alt

But I've always felt that batteries were pretty easy too. Up to you, in the end

(Also your choice isn't just RF or Batteries; they'll take other fuels as well)

[worthy oak]

Do trees and stuff grow back? Im worried my source of fuel will go away eventually 🙁

[robust crypt]

No

[robust crypt]

It doesnt take long to unlock unlimited fuel resources

[worthy oak]

Ok so I just focus on the tech now then? 🙂

[robust crypt]

Yes sir. Don't sleep on. The mam either

[robust crypt]

No rush either. Lots of leaves

[worthy oak]

This is chaos. There is no order in my base 😄

[robust crypt]

After I unlock foundations I tend to start using them to organize machines and sections. As you are learning the game this is difficult but if you look at the foundations there are lines. Those are there to help you.

Things will be a mess. You will make mistakes and you will get flustered. You got this though and if you find yourself smacking against a wall we can help

[worthy oak]

Thank you 🙂

[cinder canyon]

Hi everyone, does anybody know if M&K is already working on console? Specifically Xbox

Already found the answer on the FAQ channel, thanks!

[robust crypt]

It is not currently. The hope is next large update. Rumored Q2

[high furnace]

can anyone help with a 1:5 load balancer? iv looked at the wiki but thats confusing me more than helping

scratch that im gonna simplify it

[rustic hawk]

Who wanna play? I’m on phase 3 and new (I’d prefer you be new too)

[plucky plume]

Uh so my phase 4 factory is just straight spaghetti all over the map I have uranium crossing plastic and rubber with AI limits crossing copper, iron, steel, and reinforced steel beams. I have 18 coal gens, 6 fuel, 50 bio mass burners, I have way too much smokeless powder and Christmas stuff

Yet my power grid still trips

[spare sand]

My first play i got to phase 5 but decided I knew enough to start fresh. My entire build was chaotically organized spaghetti. Waited years for satisfactory to come to console 😭 so happy. Already spent over 300 hours on the game

[plucky plume]

I spent like 500 I think idk I got it in Nov and just let it run through the night and day

[spare sand]

Pretty much what I did, some nights running all night as I sleep. Had water pipes for coal power dry up after 90 hours of perfection. Spent 8 hours fixing it and waiting on a new turbo fuel generators to be ready in a new spot to connect to it 😭.

[undone knoll]

Hello everyone 🙂 , we are making our way back from vacation and before we left we had pushed out a patch to console on the 3rd week of December addressing a connectivity issue when joining a Session hosted on PlayStation 5 [Non save specific].
We would like to know if the fix attempt from our side improved connectivity experience for any of you and would like to get feedback.

Referring to this patch if someone did not know.

[umbral flume]

Manifolds are the solution

[umbral flume]

Hello and welcome back. Sadly i cant provide any infos about that because solo play.

But i would like to ask if the trophy bug ( efficincy first) is know and worked on, seems like a issue that was already in the game on the pc version.

[undone knoll]

Yes the trophy bug is known and Fishlabs (our external partner) are working on it but hard to give an ETA on it.

[topaz basalt]

PC version has completely different issue with that achievement.

For smallish amount of players, not general issue.

[high furnace]

its ok, i figured it out just went with 4 instead

[wary chasm]

Yo I know that satisfactory isnt crossplay between console & pc but I wanna know will they make it so that you can play with pc players just curious?

[frozen geyser]

Have they fixed the broken trophies yet

[umbral flume]

All except "efficiency first" should be fixed and this one is worked on apparently

[frozen geyser]

That the main one

[umbral flume]

Yeah sadly the most annoying one :/

[orchid meteor]

um does anyone know good ways to make a streamlined factory if your like barely new in a playthrough?

[lofty bison]

wdym streamlined

[worthy oak]

Do I need to consider height differences and stuff when building the pipes for my water pump? Trying to get some coal power going.

I mean.... if the pipe pumps water I should be good?

It fills up

[wary chasm]

Can you copy blueprint links on console?

[robust crypt]

So gravity effects fluids yes. It is something to factor in. That being said pumps do work. I tend to pump above the minimum height then feed the machines from a higher height. Letting gravity to assist feeding machines

[worthy oak]

But if I select the pipe and it's full of water I should be good?

Building my first coal power plant

[modern heart]

if its near the top of a water extractor (height-wise) its going to be too tall

[unreal terrace]

Hey, has anyone else been having issues for the PS5 multiplayer? Me and a friend have been yearning to play together but we're still not able to join eachother :<

[worthy oak]

How many coal power plants can one water pump "feed"? Currently have 3 and it seems fine

[robust crypt]

A fully over clocked water extractor give 300 water. So 300 divided by whatever your coal generators need

[surreal lichen]

It helps to get used to reading the control panels of the buildings; they'll tell you exactly what they need and produce

In this case, take a look at one of the coal gens and you'll see it requires 15/min coal + 45/min water

If you take a look at the water extractor (not a "pump" btw; there's a totally different thing called a pump) you'll see that it extracts at 120/min

The other main number to keep in mind with coal gen setups is that a mk1 pipe can carry a maximum throughput of 300/min, so depending on your setup you may need some creative piping. :)

(The usual recommended setup is 3 extractors + 8 coal gens, but the total amount of water in that system is 360/min. so a single pipe to feed all the water isn't sufficient)

[worthy oak]

Man.... it's so much information and my small brain has trouble grasping it all :S

[high furnace]

u mean like from pc?

[worthy oak]

So i cant trust the information on the pipes?

[robust crypt]

Take your time and make notes you got this

[robust crypt]

In the details of the mark 1 pipe it says its maximum flow rate is 300. So you cannot move more then 300 fluid a minute through a mk1 pipe

[worthy oak]

Also I got this object scanner but I can't seem to find where I "set it up" to search for a item?

[surreal lichen]

Hold down the "fire" button (on PC it's left-mouse, not sure what it is on controller/console)

Note that the Object Scanner is kind of a hot/cold indicator type thing; acts totally different to the resource scanner

[worthy oak]

I get this menu with empty spaces

[surreal lichen]

Yeah, someone in #1038092680493801533 was just saying that they had an object scanner with nothing in the radial menu; I actually didn't realize that you could build it without having anything to scan yet

You unlock various things to scan primarily via the MAM; could be you need some more unlocks in there

[worthy oak]

I was thinking maybe being to put it to search for example rotors if I forget where it is in my base ^^

[robust crypt]

its for finding collectables Flora and fauna

[robust crypt]

If you do not want to make extrerior notes such as a layout of your facility.... ive seen ppl make map boards with many signs which are unlockable in the AWESOME shop

[worthy oak]

That's a good idea

I will look for this

Well.... my 3 power plants are currently powering all of my base and no need to insert fuel all the time so I can just chill and try figure this out 😄

Im so stupid for these type of games.

What happens if I die? To like fall damage or a creature

[surreal lichen]

You respawn at your HUB (or your starting zone, if you don't have a HUB constructed at the time). Depending on your game settings, you may leave behind a "death crate" where you died which contains your inventory, but you can change those settings at any point

(the three options being: keep equipment but leave inventory (the default), leave equipment and inventory in the death crate, or keep all your inventory+equipment)

[worthy oak]

My water extractor got bad flow rate. Is it because it's not in enough deep water? It was green when I placed it.

My coal plants is getting bad amount of water

Flow rate just go up and down real fast in my pipes

[surreal lichen]

That can happen for sure even on totally-working system. Fluids slosh about. To really diagnose we'd need overhead shots of your piping arrangements and such; open up a #1038092680493801533 thread and attach 'em there

[worthy oak]

Is it really sensitive about height?

So i need to build pumps

[surreal lichen]

Pumps are used to let you move liquids up vertically, yeah

Each liquid-producing/extracting machine gives you a free 10m headlift. mk1 pumps will give you 20m

As you're placing a pump, there'll be a little moving hologram ring which will show you how far "up" it will work, on the existing pipes

You can't "stack" pumps; each one totally resets the headlift. So if you need to push liquids up 60m, you need to place the pumps 20m apart, rather than having three right at the bottom

(I'd also not recommend placing the pumps too close to the previous headlift limit. Put it firmly in the "safe" zone. Pumps aren't expensive, and things can get a bit weird if you're right at the headlift limits)

[worthy oak]

Can it be buggy? I got a pipe here with nice flow but the water don't fill up

[burnt river]

Yall should make it so I'm able to do stupidly high saturation to make bright glowy conveyor and purer colours

[surreal lichen]

So long as things are placed "properly" (and the pump being powered, and facing the right way), it should work fine

But, again, pictures are worth a thousand words with pipes in particular. #1038092680493801533 is nearly always the best place to ask about 'em. :)

[surreal lichen]

PC version does allow for going outside the "intended" limits; I wonder if that'll be possible when v1.2 introduces keyboard+mouse support for console, too

(As for bright glowy conveyors, we do have the mk6 belts, at least! :D)

[burnt river]

Yh but not ultra bright glowy

I wanna make my mk6 blinding.

[burnt river]

U can change the saturation w a keypad on console

[worthy oak]

I just put in another water extractor into the network and now it seems to work 😛

Maybe not the finest of solutions but it seems to work ^^

[modest bramble]

Is anyone else on Xbox getting the bug where the game crashes every time it saves. I'm on Xbox series S and about 300 ish hours into one save and it runs perfectly apart from this one bug. I really want to play the game but I can't progress 😭

[worthy oak]

Ok so there is this big rock on top of a coal deposit i want to mine. Surely there is some kind of tech I need to get rid of it? :S

[surreal lichen]

Yes -- find some sulfur and start researching it in the MAM. :)

(Assuming it's one of those "cracked" rocks, anyway. If it's a resource deposit instead, you can chip away at those with your hand tool to get rid of it)

[worthy oak]

Yeah big cracked rock ;/

[surreal lichen]

Sulfur is the way forward, then! :D

You do need to be at Steel to actually make use of it, though. If you're not to Tier3+ yet, you'll need to finish up your first Elevator delivery first

[lofty bison]

if youre on PC you can #screenshots message

[still lance]

Anyone wanna play ps5 satisfactory bc idk how to use crossplay?

[slender marsh]

Is crossplay fixed?

[autumn mica]

Going to assume no one is interested in joining my world and helping build things so they make sense and helping with trains?
Fairly far along at the end of phase 4 but my world is TRASH n every time I try on my own get discouraged and take a break

[sullen delta]

You can already adjust the numbers but i think its just bugged on console rn

[uneven jolt]

Can you put multiple train stations in a line? Like a coal train station with a Limestone station behind it and a copper station behind that?

[visual canyon]

You can connect the stations however

[uneven jolt]

So yes you can set up different resources train stations in a line?

[stuck geode]

Yes

As long as they are being emptied into the same row of stations in the same sequence wherever it’s unloading

So
Load

Car 1 Coal
Car 2 Iron
Car 3 Uranium
Car 4 Oil

Unload

Car 1 Coal
Car 2 Iron
Car 3 Uranium
Car 4 Oil

Then you can connect belts directly to each cargo platform

You mean the cargo platforms right? Not actual stations

[uneven jolt]

No stations. Like this
Unload

Car 1 Coal
Car Coal

Station
Car 1 Limestone
Car 2 limestone

[stuck geode]

Well you could but then you could be unloading/loading the same resources

You could do it like this

Load/unload
Car 1 Coal
Car 2 limestone
Car 3 Blank
Car 4 Blank

Station
Car 1 blank (blank meaning empty platform)
Car 2 blank
Car 3 iron
Car 4 copper

[uneven jolt]

Hmmm okay

[stuck geode]

If you try and load or unload different resources into the same freight car they will get mixed in

Now you can do it, but you will need to filter everything out from the platform using smart splitters or programmable splitters, but then you have a logistical challenge in terms of throughput

I always find it easier to keep 1 resource per car and then every train station is set up per train

[uneven jolt]

Right

[stuck geode]

Why would you want train stations in a line

Just curious

What would you need that for that you couldn’t achieve with just freight platforms

[uneven jolt]

Train time. I didnt want to make a 8 car train of different resources. So I was going to make a series of smaller trains. But space was restricted so I was thinking about trying to just put them all in line

[stuck geode]

You can do 2 train stations back to back with 4 cars each

I think 6 is kind of the rule of thumb for max, it’s doable to do bigger but on steeper inclines you may have issues

[uneven jolt]

Aah ok

[topaz basalt]

The simple rule of thumb for worst case is 1 locomotive per 4 freight cars.
But can be lot more, and you can have multiple locomotives for same train.

On level ground, one locomotive can move hundreds of empty freight cars.

[worthy oak]

Is there some way to get conveyor splitters "higher" up?

[tulip scaffold]

vertical nudging?
lock the hologram and then vertical nudging should be available. move it up vertically where you want it.

[wary chasm]

Ah no I’m on a ps5 and if you could copy the link of a website through your phone

[worthy oak]

Cool thanks

Also I'm building on a foundation and then I can't freely place stuff like i can on the ground is there some way of making it like I'm placing on the ground? It's snapping and it's only in 4 directions for example with the smelter I want to put it in a different angle

[tulip scaffold]

None that I know of. That was one thing I had to come to terms with once I realized building on foundations was a QOL improvement; no more omni-directional movement for items on them.
I have only been playing since console-release. Sometimes PC players know tricks that’ll work for us as well. Try the questions channel for that one, and see if they can help?

[worthy oak]

Ok 🙁

Well... might as well get used to this

[high furnace]

no you can't import blueprints unfortunately

[wary chasm]

So the only way todo that is if I was playing satisfactory on pc? And sense I can’t do that then my only option of copy blueprints is to look tutorials on how to make that blueprint

[modern heart]

if you see a blueprint you like and want to replicate it on console - yes

[worthy oak]

What do I do with power shards?

Sorry I can google

[modern heart]

research in the MAM - you will know soon enough

[wary chasm]

But only via YouTube tutorials not like coping the whole thing from a link right?

[modern heart]

the only way to "copy" a blueprint on console is to build it yourself completely

[wary chasm]

Can you type or right down what clock speed you want the machine to be in on console just like how on pc you can type the speed you need

[modern heart]

i dunno

[wary chasm]

Oh I’m mainly asking because when I use satisfactorytools.com when eever it shows me a machines clock speed it shows something like 46.875% clock speed and I can only change the output amount only

[ruby ginkgo]

you can't enter fractions for clock-speed but on playstation if you hit square when you are clock speed area a slider pops then you can adjust more acuratelly.

[wary chasm]

Yeah but that only effects the output though like how many you want this to make of this thing I thought like you could type the clock speed & only that like on pc

[ruby ginkgo]

yeah I hope they add that feature in the future.

[wary chasm]

You know what I’m talking about tho right?

[ruby ginkgo]

yup

[wary chasm]

Oh okay I to hope they add that on console maybe they will when they release 1.2 which btw isnt that update coming out?

[surreal lichen]

Yeah, first half of this year

(Periodically I wouldn't expect it before April)

[wary chasm]

First half? What so like around June?

[ruby ginkgo]

as far as I know 1.2 coming 1st half of the year and yes I hope they add more details to console version like setting exact clock speed.

and mods would be nice too

[surreal lichen]

The only estimate we were given was "first half of 2026.". So technically anywhere from right now through June. :)

[wary chasm]

I think mods on console only can happen with sim games but I would love that to

[surreal lichen]

Mod support is almost certainly never coming to console; would require a full "official" mod support framework which just doesn't exist at all yet. And CSS doesn't want to disturb the existing PC modding scene

[ruby ginkgo]

I like building big factories, and building foundations is a huge hassle even with 6x6 blueprint.

[wary chasm]

Doesnt pc also need an official mod support?

[wary chasm]

You mean the kind of building big factory like from YouTube like imkibitz

[ruby ginkgo]

if not mod support, if CSS add some mods ass add-on I would pay for them.

[wary chasm]

Doesnt Skyrim have a mod support but you have to pay for it?

[ruby ginkgo]

I don't know what's imkibitz, but my iron factory's footprint is 36 x 90 foundation.

[wary chasm]

He’s a YouTuber who makes satisfactory content

[ruby ginkgo]

oh okay, I watched some videos but I don't know who's who. most of those videos not for me. I like building functioning factories but I have no taste for how they look (not saying theirs not working).
As long as they are not spaghetti alike, it's good enough for me. 🙂

[wary chasm]

So you don’t care how your factory’s look like as long as they function correctly and there’s no spaghetti that’s basically what you do am I correct?

[ruby ginkgo]

correct, as long as it doesn't looks like a huge mess I am not interested about decoration, lightning etc.

[wary chasm]

Okay so most or a few of your factories look like boxes right?

[surreal lichen]

Official mod support was part of the original plans, but it was basically a case of the unofficial community-driven mods getting good enough that reimplementing mod stuff officially just didn't seem worth it

The community stuff is extremely mature and well-run, and any official mod framework now would disrupt all that

My impression was that they had considered working on it anyway for 1.0 but eventually decided not to

[wary chasm]

Oh Okay but wouldnt that mean that every pc game that has mods supports those are unofficial?

[worthy oak]

Haha my factory is getting big
Sometimes I feel lost when going around 😛

[ruby ginkgo]

pretty much box alike. I finished phase 5, maybe I can start a new game in creative mode and create a train sim. nice stations etc.

[surreal lichen]

Officially sanctioned; CSS does do a fair bit to support the modders. It's all linked to via #welcome etc. But yeah, in the end it's technically all third-party stuff

[plucky plume]

Are we allowed to ask people if they wanna start a world?

Imma crash my console with 100 nukes

[autumn mica]

You can kinda but then be nagged about lfg then you post a lfg and then it’s people using your lfg to recruit people to their world or people treating your lfg as a redit form iv blocked someone many people just from how they reply to LFGs from this group

[remote roost]

I’ve nearly solved my power issues. I just need to get my heavy oil refineries to cooperate and stay pumping and I’ll be rocking 45,750 total MW of power. More than enough until I get to nuclear power!

[tulip scaffold]

I’m jealous, I’m at like 14-15k power, but I just grabbed some sulfur & coal. Just need to get the oil piped in so i can turbofuel & get way more power. I haaaate watching power

[uneven jolt]

This is why I dont lfg lol

[autumn mica]

Yeah I keep trying and 90% of the time that’s all that happens and I’m fed up with it.

[uneven jolt]

I ask for tips/guidance, and bounce ideas. Thats it

[remote roost]

I’ve got 50 refineries feeding into blenders from three different points. Two on either end and one near the middle all supplying 32 blenders making fuel for 160 generators. My math has been right so far I’m just not the best laying pipelines for something quite this big.

[lusty berry]

45 is enough?

45k?

[remote roost]

More than enough for late stage

[lusty berry]

bro i make 143k MW and that barely gets me by

Im working on a 300k MW nuclear plant rn

[remote roost]

For what I’m doing making modular factories instead of a mega factory it’s holding me just fine

[worthy oak]

What do I do with minerals very far away from my base? Build very long conveyor belts?

[tulip scaffold]

I have a modular setup, though I have connected most of it with walkways/roads.

Are you using an alt recipe to make fuel? Is that why you’re using blenders related to power? 🧐

[remote roost]

Diluted fuel alt recipe.

[tulip scaffold]

if you have no other way to get them there, unfortunately, yes.
ideally, setup some roads for tractors so you can automate them moving items for you. depends on what you have available in transportation.

[worthy oak]

I got tractors but haven't really played with them. Can I build roads later then? 🙂

[tulip scaffold]

I only mentioned building roads because the terrain is treacherous is a lot of places but if you want to automate a route over the ground without roads, you totally can.
They just make it smoother and a bit quicker.

Build the roads once you get used to the tractors, for sure. 👍🏾

[worthy oak]

Ok maybe I should play around with tractors. Don't I need to refuel them all the time? Sounds like a bit of a hassle 🙄

[tulip scaffold]

the vehicle station has storage for fuel. when the tractor pulls in to load/unload, it’ll refuel it automatically and send it back on its routing once it’s done. the storage space in the station is plenty IMO.

[worthy oak]

Ok. Thank you 🙂
