satisfactory-consoles

[tulip scaffold]

ngl I resisted them for a while too but I will probably never do trains. i see way too many issues with signals 😭
i prefer the tractors & trucks.

[surreal lichen]

I actually basically always recommend using the game's natural roads instead of making your own

Making your own roads destroys one of the main benefits of using vehicles: hardly any required infrastructure

I will say that signals on trains are ezpz once you get used to 'em (much like how vehicles are ezpz once you get used to them)

The main advantage of trains is the near-infinite throughput growth across your tracks. If you invest heavily in trains, you can have bits of rail carrying some really staggering throughput. Trains get better the more and more you build 'em out. (Plus you get a sweet Pioneer transit system, to boot!)

In the end, IMO each has niches in which they shine; I wouldn't personally want to have to pick one or the other

[tulip scaffold]

The manufactured roads just take less time because you can build in straight lines instead of using the hills and things like that. But yeah, the natural roads are a benefit regardless.

What do you do with the natural roads in regard to all the things that are on top of mountains and stuff?
is that just the exception?
I find so many things on top of mountains😭

[worthy oak]

Can you craft med packs?

[brisk lion]

I use belts generally under 800 range. Trucks rarely. And trains for everything else. I took the time to set up a 2 track loop around the entire edge of the map. Then i built stations and branches for my smaller factories

[worthy oak]

I got tractors only atm but the terrain is rough man!

Don't know how the tractor can travel on some places

[brisk lion]

It does depend on the biome you are in

[worthy oak]

I took the beginner map

Its lots of trees and mountains

[random relic]

It's all one map

You can just walk to the other starting biomes

[random relic]

There's a system of natural roads

[brisk lion]

Plus by walking you will pick up a ton of slugs, spheres. But each starter location can get you to phase 3 with some work and not branching out too far. Phase 4 will get you to use resources all over the map

[surreal lichen]

Mostly I just don't use vehicles for those routes. :D

[surreal lichen]

There's definitely paths which are easier than others. Once you figure out the natural "roads" it's not bad. That does impose restrictions on the kinds of routes you can do, of course, but IMO it's well worth it to stick to the natural roads

If I have a factory set back a ways I'll often belt out its products to where the road is, etc

[languid briar]

Yes, there's a few different ones you can craft
They're in different trees of the MAM

[surreal lichen]

(For clarity's sake: the Medicinal Inhaler you get is identical regardless of which recipe you use. Three different ways of crafting the same item. :D)

[worthy oak]

Thank you guys

Do I need conveyor mark 2 for miners mk2 or can I use mk1?

[dense scroll]

You can use Mark1 just wont move stuff as fast

I used mk3 so much, since i find i can make the stuff for them much faster....but im also a newbie too.

[worthy oak]

Ok

So a normal node miner mk1 can supply 2 smelters. How many can a mk2 miner supply?

I mean... if I produce faster I must need faster transportation right?

[languid briar]

Assuming it's a Normal node, you haven't overclocked anything, and you're using mk2 or better belts, a mk2 miner spits out 120 iron/copper ore per minute, which can feed 4 smelters
Since mk1 belts can only carry 60 things/min, they would only be able to supply 2 smelters

[worthy oak]

Gotcha 🙂 i missed that little detail

[worn cliff]

Is there a keybind for the flashlight for console xbox?

[worthy oak]

Try right bumper + left on dpad

[worn cliff]

that worked thanks

[strong sedge]

It’s is possible on console to do the same technique for curves as on pc. It doesn’t work for me… but maybe I am to stupid 😄.

[vestal torrent]

Hey guys, I am new to the game on ps5, I got 36 hours for now. Is this community open to help new players? 👀

[worthy oak]

Why doesnt the fog on the map dissappear the more i discover?

Do I need to invent like a radar or something?

[topaz basalt]

Should happen around you for areas that are at same height or lower than you are...

[worthy oak]

So I need to climb the hills?

[tulip scaffold]

Likely, yes if it didn’t before. I climbed mountains and started exploring & my fog went away for surrounding areas, including everything below me.

[tulip scaffold]

It has for me! Just pick which channel best fits for your questions, or use the questions channel🙂
I’m playing on ps5 also

[worthy oak]

So I just died at a real though spot and i dont think I will be able to get my gear back. So if I now resupply and die again will the death marker mark my "new" loadout or will it still ping my old body?

[worthy oak]

I will try this. Thanks for clarifying ^^

[tulip scaffold]

I’m pretty sure death crates show up at different locations. I think PC has a thing where they can make all of it go to a single crate but I never saw that setting on ps5.
I used to climb with foundations until I got a better method, but I kept finding stuff at higher altitudes so it was worth it, even though it took time because I dismantled on my way up.

[worthy oak]

Ok ty 🙂

[languid harness]

Mk4 will become way easier once you get the special beams. They craft relatively quickly and easily and is not hard at all to automate. You're going to need them anyway for phase 3.

[granite lantern]

Iwhen you have the rader you can see all the nodes and undiscoverd feeld wil be visuele

[brisk lion]

Just ask

[main vault]

Been having horrible crashing issues, is practically unplayable at this point, what can I do?

[uneven jolt]

Is Ionized fuel worth it?

[modern heart]

To varying success, default as i understood it is barely even power positive

Only Dark Ion is decent i think?

Wait nvm

Apparently both are kinda ass

[uneven jolt]

For real?? Why? Takes too long to make?

[modern heart]

Takes more energy to make than just burning rocket fuel apparently

[uneven jolt]

Man wtf

[modern heart]

Its great for the jetpack tho

[surreal lichen]

Yeah, they're both pretty bad for power generation

Dark Ion is almost worth it if you squint, but you're still basically always better off just burning the Rocket Fuel instead

(For jetpack, Ionized fuel is A+ though. I'd definitely recommend setting some up just for that. It's also one of the only ways to sink Power Shards, if you care about keeping that production line always moving. And I assume that Ionized Fuel would make a good vehicle/drone fuel, though I've never used it for those purposes)

[modern heart]

I assume the only reason ionized exists is to keep power shard lines going and having some kind of benefit from that

[gritty karma]

Yeah ionized fuel is great for drones and player jetpack but super waste for fuel generators since you can make rocket fuel at a better rate depending on production

[uneven jolt]

Hmmm okay

[autumn mica]

Can wait to lead a boyfriend on Xbox yet

[brisk lion]

Try save, quit game, to main console menu. Reload

[brisk lion]

Also spread out your factories all over the map it will help a lot with FPS and memory/ ram usage

[agile otter]

do they still produce?

[brisk lion]

Yep, then I use heat sinks to keep things moving but reduce the end machines, so say I have four manufacturers making adaptive control units, I turn off all but one. Then I will purposely use mk3 light poles or mk5 belts to keep as many machines running as possible. I will then back check on usage of a random item say aluminum casing, then redistribute. Because space elevator parts are not always needed in the next phase you can often use the parts in other places

[autumn mica]

Is there a way to delete blueprints?

[stuck geode]

Yes, change the dismantle mode to blueprint

[tulip scaffold]

delete an entire blueprint at once or delete them from the saved ones?

[autumn mica]

From saved ones

[tulip scaffold]

It looks like photos are disabled here, but I took a screenshot and showed where it is for me on ps5. I should’ve tagged you.

[sturdy oracle]

Has cross play been fixed for console

[vestal torrent]

So I had the setting to keep everything if I die, yet when I died I lost all my items.. also had passive creatures on settings, yet they killed me. Happened to anyone else on ps5?

It's very weird

[high furnace]

if i place i splitter halfway up a lift,does one split continue upwards?

[tulip scaffold]

i can’t answer the crate one, but in regard to the creatures: No. I’m on ps5 & as long as I change a setting then “Apply” before I leave the settings screen, it’ll stick. They don’t bother me at all. Stingers will circle & react to my presence but they don’t touch me. The rest completely ignore me.

[main vault]

Having a crash on save bug, happen roughly every third save. Lost hours of cumulative progress at this point. And I already do space out my factories. Is there anything I can do?

[vestal torrent]

It seems to be working now, but it bugged out a few times.. I died, then adjusted settings AGAIN, i died AGAIN, then adjusted one more time and now seems to be working.. but it was an annoying bug, I saved the settings and still died

[brisk lion]

You can try lowering setting to balanced in the video option

[main vault]

It’s already the performance option instead of anything too fancy looking. Also been playing multiplayer with a friend, but still had save crashes when solo

[patent nymph]

Is there a way to split vertical conveyors that im just not seeing? I'd like to have 1 vertical conveyor drop off at different floors.

[surreal lichen]

Should be able to just build splitters right on existing lifts

Though at the moment they don't really "snap" at vertical heights; kind of just have to eyeball the height

[brisk lion]

I would report then on the coffee stain web site. You will have to create a log in, I am getting more bugs and glitches as I get closer to end of phase 4. My guess there are a few memory bleeds and optimization issues that need to be addressed because of how recent console release

[patent nymph]

Ty I'll give that a go.

[worthy oak]

Lets say i have a power consumption of 1000mw and i build 10 batteries with 100 each and that makes 1000. And I charge them. How long would the batteries last if my grid goes down?

I mean. How much power do they store

Im thinking it's a good idea to bring in some batteries into the fold

[wary chasm]

Your gonna create a train sim stations huh?

[ruby ginkgo]

kinda, I like trains 🙂

[quasi bison]

hmm

i might kidnap a space giraffe, put it in the way of some train tracks then send a train with a hundo nobelisks on it for him

im evil >:)

[versed harbor]

Trains

[fluid yacht]

I think they last an hour.

[wary chasm]

Huh same I also like train but isnt what your thinking of doing well very complex and not worth it

[ruby ginkgo]

not worth it? It's a sandbox game and you play as you like, what is worthly what's not who's deciding?

[worthy oak]

Jesus Christ my factory is a mess. Utterly chaos no order ^^ and im to lazy to rebuild it so I just add stuff all the time 😛

Its getting hard to remember where I put all things

Because it's growing

Just got to phase 3 and everything is blowing my mind. So much to do! Don't know where to begin!

[naive dove]

hi

[grizzled flower]

Help the crafting menu is stuck

[worthy oak]

Something that would be awesome is that if you could destroy terrain and just flatten the ground

[tulip scaffold]

i started using signs. so many machines 😵‍💫
i used billboards when i got access to them too.

[worthy oak]

Yeah that's the plan eventually ^^

Man! So much to dooooo i dont know where to begin!!

[languid briar]

This game is hard enough on the hardware
Adding terrain deformation would probably cause your console to melt 😀

[worthy oak]

Maybe ^^ though it feels like the ps5 pro is pretty powerful

[hard bobcat]

Is cross platform between console and computer ever a plan?

[modern heart]

So far no was the statement i believe

[stuck geode]

Indeed

[uneven jolt]

Can the put in a setting where we can turn off night time? Lol please. That shit be mega-dark

[short hawk]

Is there an official developer update on the Efficiency First trophy?

[meager fulcrum]

hello

bru i just got to tier 7 and 8 and my brain is on fire trying to figure it all out

[stuck geode]

Nope lol

Only that the studio that helped them on the PlayStation side is working on it

[open briar]

Im rebuilding my current factory into one to match my Mk5 belts and stuff, how do yall decide how much of what you are making? If you base it off of a final product how much of that are you making? Like full scale factory rebuild so if anyone has any advice please lmk

[tulip scaffold]

Well what phase are you on? Because what products you’re going to be building UP TO would help me answer that question.

[pure hamlet]

Depends, but if they are used in project parts then just think of it in terms of how many project parts you need

[worthy spindle]

How do you guys figure out how you want to design your factories? I’ve always played 2d factory games so I couldn’t build a building around the machines and now that I can I have no idea where to start

[short canopy]

Build the production lines first, then cosmetically skin around it.

[rotund harness]

Trial and error 😅

[wraith skiff]

How do I upload items from my inventory?

Never mind I figured it out

[fiery lava]

Is there any way to rotate hologram on xbox I can't even fund a keybind for it

[modern heart]

DPad right (held) / left (held) should be it

[topaz basalt]

And there is a screen that shows the various keybinds in various modes.

[uneven jolt]

Soo im gonna try something insane....
Im going to try and combine the Biochemical Scupltor, AI Expansion Server, and Ballistic Warp drive into a factory
But im going to try and split it into like 2 or 3 multi-floor factories

[prisma helm]

Has anyone got to phase 4 and just feeling overwhelmed

[golden coral]

Does it work on ps4?

[modern heart]

No only PS5

[quaint remnant]

Yeah there is a ton of stuff in tier 7 and 8 but I find the most important part after phase 4 is to unlock aluminum production and start making a bunch of that

[uneven jolt]

Yea a bit. But im just fractioning it off bit by bit

[robust crypt]

Phase 4 is a jump in complexity and logistics.

Aluminum is a game breaker for many. But you can do this. Just break the problem down into but sized peieces

[uneven jolt]

Lol I saw im fractioning it off bit by bit as im about to try and combine the last three elevator parts into one big factory

[robust crypt]

You can do that for sure. Or you can ship the parts from previous phases to a new factory so you don't need to start from scratch

Up to you. Its a personal choice

[prisma helm]

Can you have all items in the dimensional depot

[robust crypt]

As far as it now yes. I have rebar ammo nobs miners. Everything i can think of in mine

I never want to run out of stuff while exploring so I just manually input everything I can think of to max stacks

[uneven jolt]

I thought about shipping but that train would be super freaking long.
My plan is to make on three floor factory for the basic parts and then move those to another factory for the advance parts

[prisma helm]

Thank you 😊

[robust crypt]

I'm okay with long trains. Thats what they are for ^-^

To be clear I have done it both ways. Both are legit. Its a matter of preference and what you want.

I want a interconnected logistics network this playthrough. So Im running lots of rail now connecting all my factories

[uneven jolt]

My next save ill try and make factories that connect. Rn my trains looks like straight booty cheeks

I got one train my wife says looks like a lasso thats just floating in the air

[robust crypt]

Name it tomestone and move on lol

[uneven jolt]

I named the train station Uranium Lasso

[brisk lion]

Agreed the alt recipes and trains make a huge difference. Just be prepared for some longer belts and try to find a good central place. I suggest casing / sheets 70/30 split. I have 2 aluminum plants going with plans for a third (nuclear stuff). One with copper and one the alt coke recipe (used I pure oil node).

[worthy oak]

Ok so im playing around with tractors and truck stations and it works good. Only problem i have is that they are very fuel heavy. Using solid biofuel and it runs out very fast. Any tips?

[languid briar]

Coal!

(until you unlock packaged fuel)

[worthy oak]

So I can use coal for fuel???

[languid briar]

Yep!

[worthy oak]

Makes sense but I am slow ^^

[languid briar]

np 😄

[worthy oak]

Awesome. I'm going to try that! Thanks:)

Can I use coal in my jetpack as well?

[languid briar]

Not sure (I haven't actually unlocked the jetpack yet :D)

[worthy oak]

Ok 🙂

Ty anyways ^^

[worthy oak]

Jesus christ.... this game it blows my mind :S I'm trying to figure out to build motors efficiently and it's a pretty big beast I need to build.

Lots of screws for the rotors

I need to begin taking notes

[tulip scaffold]

Rotors were a huge bottleneck for me, for a while. I dedicated a whole node to them for a bit😭

[stuck geode]

I suggest using Darren’s series to at least get ideas on some alternate recipes that can save you a lot of time & headaches

Can also make steel rotors and copper rotors too

Cast screws is another good one

[worthy oak]

I see it as a project to get this beast together

[marble umbra]

Hey I’m relatively new what do I do here do I take my first look server a dedicated server for the campaign or what I would like to know

[worthy oak]

Its good for my cod brain to have something to think about for a change ^^

[marble umbra]

Fr I used to be that way but now that I see using logic in a video game hell yea yk

[worthy oak]

I usually play games where you just kill stuff like diablo ect

[marble umbra]

I did too but like I said I needed to be challenged by something with logic yk

[worthy oak]

Yeah amen brother

Its fun to challenge yourself like this

[marble umbra]

Intellectual games are low key better now that I’ve grown

[worthy oak]

I was so happy when I got my coal power plants up and going

Goddammit the pipes ^^ couldn't make any sense of it in the beginning but now i get it

[marble umbra]

Bro I got 5 right now but I’m abt to start up a dedicated coal power plant with at least 1-2 pure nodes yk

[worthy oak]

Yk?

[marble umbra]

You know?

[worthy oak]

Ahh 🙂

I see

We can do this!

[marble umbra]

You play Xbox or PS?

[worthy oak]

Ps

[marble umbra]

Ah damn I’m Xbox

Can we still play?

[worthy oak]

Don't think so 🙁

[marble umbra]

Damn well let’s add each other to help each other yk

[worthy oak]

Sure

[hard bobcat]

Aww :<

I wanna play with my pc friends tho

[limber shoal]

PlayStation and Xbox do have cross play I believe

[hard bobcat]

Yeah

[worthy oak]

Is there any way to nudge already placed buildings?

[gleaming linden]

Just wait till you get crude oil and fuel power plants 😉 the pipes just get better and better.

[worthy oak]

😮

[abstract oxide]

Oh good god I still have my coal power plants and Jesus the pipes are a mess

[charred lily]

Anyone looking to play in group?

[sage matrix]

#1201555265942724758

[cloud jasper]

I got something like thirty fuel burners burning nitro rocket fuel

LOTS of piping lol

[sudden cairn]

I made mine at like 20 hours

Im 80 hours in and its completely obsolete and yet I refuse to touch it😭

[abstract oxide]

Yep, I'm like 110 hours in and I still haven't touched it at all

[sage matrix]

it makes you power and you can never have enough power

hell i'm pretty sure deep within the tower at base there's like 10 biomass burners

[sudden cairn]

It BARELY makes power, it's like the biggest waste of coal I have😭

[sage matrix]

lol

[worthy spindle]

How can I tell if a rock can be destroyed? There’s this decently sized rock in the middle of where I wanna build that I honestly should have realized would be a problem. I already tried the first tier of bomb

[sage matrix]

if you nob it and it doesn't break then i would assume it's not nobeliskable

not sure if nuke nobs have higher breaking power than normal nobs

[worthy spindle]

I have a nuke but I’m kinda scared to use it so close to my factory but yeah I blew up a normal nob on top of it and nothing happened

[sage matrix]

dw the nukes won't blow up anything you built

[worthy spindle]

Oh really? I thought it would since it has a warning on it about ficsit property

Alright I now know it’s a indestructible rock

[sage matrix]

me too but i have carpet nuked a few factories and had no structural damage

[gleaming linden]

Most warnings about damage to fixit property usually refer to you needing to respawn the character.

[high furnace]

when building factories how does everyone here do their storage? do you pipe everything out to one central storage or give each factory storage floors?

[modern heart]

I only have storage if its for personal use, and stuff only ever goes into storage (automatically)

Never out really

And i have a few storages strewn about sometimes

But usually, i have a central place where most storsge stuff is made and then some is imported

[high furnace]

ok, currently i build each factory and once the product lines are built, i pipe it up to storage floors, just wondered if anyone has a compact way of linking the containers together. currently i use conveyor lifts

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/553550313533997057/1463500825925259294/qTsHHPQt.jpg?ex=69720edb&is=6970bd5b&hm=0bfa9f4b44cc7a290bc5116a12b6c57e4eee2fdca212667078a194e469cb091d&

this is how i do mine currently

[wary chasm]

Is the rocky desert a good spot to build a nuclear powerplant

[surreal lichen]

Anywhere near water. Water's the main thing; you don't want to have a million long pipes to deal with

By that point in the game you've got all logistics options available to you, so bringing in anything else shouldn't be much of a problem

[hearty shadow]

i like trains

srsly trains atm in myt game is carrying my coal to steel

[hollow gyro]

That's because in the game you as the player are ficsit property and compared to a nuke you are very squishy lol

[sudden cairn]

I HATE trains, they take forever to set up >:[
-# they are carrying my entire plastic, rubber, fuel, aluminum, aluminum casings, quartz crystals, but that doesn't matter!

Drone siff

[hearty shadow]

i dont have drones yet

they do take a while

[sudden cairn]

Ah I get the struggle
They're pretty convenient!
They have a much easier set up than trains but they take fuel😭

[brisk lion]

I am toying with swamp fir my nuclear build

[meager fulcrum]

e

[charred lily]

I made it through an entire playthrough without ever touching nuclear, while that power source might help never fully got it started.

[robust crypt]

Ive done 7 playthroughs without nuclear lol

Rocket fuel is a great fuel source

[vital skiff]

anyone willing to teach an old guy how to play this game

to be honest on 35 but i feel like i'm asking a bunch of 10 year olds how to teach me how to play this lol

[vestal olive]

Are there still issues with game rcashing? thinking of buying iy on console

[stuck geode]

I’m 23 actually

[surreal lichen]

Heh, I suspect the demographic for this game skews older than in many other genres. I've got you beat agewise, for one. :D

As for how to play:

1. Pick something you haven't yet automated
2. Automate it!
3. GOTO 1

Slightly less reductively: honestly IMO one of the real joys of the game is just figuring stuff out for yourself and learning the systems. I'd recommend avoiding youtube, streamers, and this Discord unless you've got something specific that's bothering you or you're not figuring out. There's extremely little "pressure" in the game, and it's foriving on many levels. Creature hostility can be tweaked all the way down to "peaceful," you always get all resources back when deconstructing things, nodes are infinite, etc, etc. Really the only pressure in the game is the early game biomass collection for power. (Your next tier after bio fuels is fully-automatable, as are all later tiers)

[sudden cairn]

Or

1. automate things
2. Find new things to automate
3. Realize you could've automated things better
4. Tear everything down and rebuild it
5. Repeat 3 and 4 till you realize its been a week

[surreal lichen]

When pressed, I tend to recommend not doing number 4. :D Realizing you could have automated things better just means that you've got motivation to do better on the next factory! IMO no need to waste time tearing things down when they're working, even if they're in some way inefficient or not up to your new standards. :)

I've done my own fair share of tearing down in the past, of course, and perhaps it's easier for me to leave things as-is since I'm pretty "good" at the game now (for whatever the hell "good" means in a game like this, I guess), but yeah. Even a shit factory is still a factory. If it's spitting out resources, it's good enough!

[sudden cairn]

Good point, but tearing it all down and rebuilding it better gives you more experience so that when you build your next factory it'll just be THAT much better since you know how to make it more efficient! :D

[sudden cairn]

Good in this game is getting good at mathematics and having alot of spare time :>

[surreal lichen]

Honestly my main issue with the rebuild cycle is just that IMO it's often a recipe for burnout. You spend so much effort just go get yourself back to the exact same level of functionality you had before

Feel free to tear down and rebuild factories if you're enjoying yourself, of course. Just remember that it's a choice, not a necessity, and if the thought of re-doing all the work you've already done starts feeling like a chore, keep in mind that there's Other Ways To Play. :D

Getting in an Independency (https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Tutorial:Independency) mindset probably helps too, since each factory you build is a totally-isolated thing. Past "mistakes" never come back to bite you (for whatever "mistake" means in a sandbox game where the only measure of success is your own fun) because you're always just doing The Next Thing, and any shortcomings of your previous factories just don't matter

[quaint remnant]

Watch “gamingwithdoc” on YouTube. He’s a real old dude who really knows how to play this game

[quaint remnant]

Totally worth the buy on console. It’s crashed on me 3 times and I just hit 110 hours on my save. In the worst case I lost 2.5 minutes of play time. It’s really not a big deal anymore. Definitely worth it’s value for entertainment and satisfaction

[robust crypt]

40 here. Lots of us "old" here lol

[brisk lion]

Ask away median age for gamers in the US is now 38 years old based on the last study I saw

[brisk lion]

Totally agree someone gave that advice and it has been a life saver. I did one major rebuilt in the middle of phase 3. After that trains, and smaller independent factories

[umbral flume]

I had a few when i started the game but i think they got patched pretty fast, in my 200h playthrough it only happend like 10 times the first 20h or so then never again.

There are 2 things that arent fixed as far i know:

• efficiency first trophy not unlocking (known issue and worked on)
• when playing in another language then english the decimals of machines round themself so precise adjustement is not possible (not sure if fixed by now)

[wet pilot]

Anyone tried playing Satisfactory on the iphone 12 using a Backbone? I use bifocals and my concern is being able to read codex and mam entries.

[worthy oak]

Are splitters just pure math? Like if I put 120 into 1 splitter it will be 40 each and if I put another 3 way it will be like 13 each?

Does it work the same way if I only use 2 way so 120 becomes 60 each?

[modern heart]

Its math

If you use 3 outputs it splits it in 3

if you use 2 it splits in half

If one of the output backs up, the rest of the material flow will be divided onto the other outputs

Its a 0 sum kinda thing.
Sum of all outgoing rates = input rate

[worthy oak]

Ok good. That explains alot of things why my rotor production is all fudged ^^

I thought it just distributed everything evenly no matter how many mergers and splitters i used but thats obviously not the case and it explains the chaos ^^

Buuuuut... just redo and learn I guess

[strong sedge]

I play it in a rog ally Xbox x … sometimes over xcloud or the steam version. Hard to read the letters 😂

Btw : the steam version running with high est setting around 50fps on the rog 😎

[raw ice]

Hey anyone know how do rotate in smaller intervals than 90 on console

[brisk lion]

Try the cat walk trick

There is a YouTube video

[warm steppe]

You have to stack on top of another structure then vertical nudge into place

[wary chasm]

Huh okay so then would the rocky desert be a good spot does it have well plenty of water needed

[vestal torrent]

Anyone having trouble building with blueprints on console? Aligning is a mess, even on some basic 4x4 foundation.. not sure what im doing wrong or if this is just an issue on consoles. I find it easier to build without blueprints which shouldn't be normal

[umbral flume]

I didnt have any problems on console with BP. Did you maybe half notch some stuff in the BP? That can cause alignement fk ups

[vestal torrent]

What do you mean by half notch?

[wary chasm]

Are singularity cells going to be very important once I get to phase 5

[umbral flume]

You can notch factory parts. Lets say you use a smelter then fix it in place (hold R2 on ps5) and then use the dpad to move it right/left , forward or back thats called notching. 1 notch is not the same as when you move the machine freely so it can messup allignment

[umbral flume]

If you just wanna finish P5 you dont need many of them, if you wanna make use of ||teleporters || you will need them as fuel

[vestal torrent]

Oh so like the nudge... alright, this might make things easier, I'll give it a try, thanks!

[umbral flume]

Nudge notch whatever english aint my native language 😅

But you know what i meant

[vestal torrent]

Yeah, all clear and greatly appreciated. I tried and indeed this helps with my smelters/constructors/assemblers blueprints, I didn't test yet with the 4x4 foundation bp but I assume it will work as well

[brave jewel]

Y a des français ?

[vestal torrent]

We use english in this server as far as I know from the rules

[wet pilot]

Was able to play it and just look at codex on my iPad.

[icy vigil]

Just in case on PS5 I think you press Dpad down when placing a blueprint to change From Default -> Auto Connect -> Blueprint

If it's in blueprint mode it will snap to blue prints in a similar way a foundation will to another foundation.

Not sure if that's what you meant but makes it much easier to align them when building lots of them

[vestal torrent]

I dont like blueprint mode, idk why it doesn't build properly... i knew that, what i was looking for was the nudge thing

[ivory crow]

Milestone trophy been fixed yet?

[stuck geode]

Not yet

It’s obtainable, gotta beat the whole game in 1 sitting

But other than that no

[gritty karma]

Also need them if they wanna try out ficosonium fuel rods at all but yeah main purpose of singularities is fuel for teleportation @wary chasm

[sullen rapids]

Just built my first genuine factory making 10 modular engines a minute things are looking up 🥹

[woeful bronze]

Thats actually great ngl

[sullen rapids]

Now I gotta rebuild my entire power network with turbofuel its so over 😭

[woeful bronze]

Its not really that much of a change 😭 just gotta add coke into the mix and leave everything

[sullen rapids]

Yeah I could do that but the power plant itself is super ugly so I gotta redo it

[woeful bronze]

Fair enough

[half plaza]

Hey

Anyone here on ps5?

[uneven jolt]

How do you build on blue crater? This shit is so weirdly shaped.

[woeful bronze]

Either adapt or just make a platform

[wary chasm]

Teleporters?

[vestal torrent]

Yep

[broken mulch]

Anyone having issues with save games failing? I get message saying failed to save game when saving manually. The auto save says it is saved but when I check the save games the auto save also actually failed even if it did not give any messages. I started the game over from start, and at 222 hours the game again gives this fail. It might come from clearing a lot of trees and bushes as I could save and then remove some stuff and the fail start.

[topaz basalt]

@undone knoll For your notice, once you are back at work.

[ruby ginkgo]

The same here, 2 days ago auto saves started failing then manual save then total corruption.

[hoary cave]

moin leute aus deutschland hier

[ruby ginkgo]

it's interesting you said "clearing a lot of trees and bushes". this has started after I destroying ever tree and bush etc.

[leaden scaffold]

Hello, is there a way to quickly switch between jetpack and hoverpack on PS5?

[white bronze]

With like one button i dont think so

Does somoen have the same problem as me with game crashes?

I play on the xbox series i am hosting with a mate that plays on PlayStation. A bunch of times like 3-5 times in an hour the game just crashes completly and i get thrown into the xbox home screen. We realy dont know what we can do against it, we tried without auto-saving, without hyperloop

We are just on tier 4 and only have 2 trains and 3 drones

If anyone knows what we can do please help us because it robs realy a lot of funy

Sometimes it even crashes at still standing

[lusty berry]

Also a problem for me

usually only happens when im near multiple factories or well built in areas tho

[pallid burrow]

Hello! Has any Q&A addressed the poor (completely absent) M&K implementation while using a controller? I know this may seem like a niche issue but it is very important to many dozen.

[strong sedge]

KBM should be in the 1.2 Update for consoles

[sudden cairn]

Get really used to opening the inventory flicking your joystick up selecting it and closing out😭

[topaz basalt]

Keyboard & mouse support on the console is also in large part up to if MS and Sony allow it to be implemented.
But even on PC, you cannot currently use both controller and KB&M at same time.

[uncut pike]

Hi, does anyone know a workaround with saves not working?

I'm on Xbox, recently my game just stopped saving. Manual saves pop up with a 'save failed' message, but autosaves appear normal, only to not actually save at all.

I have tried deleting older saves, deleting saved data on the console, but nothing seems to work. Any help would be appreciated

[topaz basalt]

Just as possible hunch, do you have lot of older manual saves?
See if deleting few allows for new save to be made?
If there is some kind of game specific combined max save storage use limit.

[uncut pike]

I went through and deleted all saved games except the most recent couple. The issue persists 🙁

[topaz basalt]

I only asked to delete few.
Because that would have freed enough space.

Because next would have been to load as old save as possible and trying to save.

To see if it would be somehow single save file size limit.

[uncut pike]

Just did some testing. Loading an earlier save allowed the game to successfully saved once. Any further saves go back to not working

[topaz basalt]

@undone knoll Another possible hint.

[uncut pike]

Some additional info, I have recently been trying my best to go around the world destroying every destructible item. (Rocks, trees, etc).

I will go back to an old save again, and not destroy any further objects, to see if that affects anything at all.

[topaz basalt]

That has been reported by at least one other as possible cause.
And is bad idea for general performance and save size.

[uncut pike]

Well another update. Before doing what I planned as stated above. I just left my game idle for a bit. It appears after 20 minutes an autosave actually worked. Autosave frequency is every 5 minutes, so it looks like 3 didn't work before this. But doing absolutely nothing for 20 minutes seemed to allow the game to save somehow

[topaz basalt]

As the game by default has everything in it and save is "clean", and only the removals are saved in the save.

[broken mulch]

It seems to be the issue. If I start from a save earlier and stop removing bushes and such it seems to work. Well maybe untill I build a few more things. But in my test it fails when I again start removing bushes or gras and such.

[broken mulch]

Is what I already issued as well. For me it seems to be because of removing too many objects or something like that. At a certain point it just stops when removing things. My first game got the same issue. I removed all save games and started over and 222 hours into the game after removing a lot of rocks, gras, bushes and trees the same error when saving appeared. I can also add that I started noticing that the games goes slower when you remove things. Not at first but when you remove a lot it goes significantly slower. Same with the save games, instead of like a second it now started taking several seconds to manually save the game.

[ruby ginkgo]

Before save got corrupted I was on tier 9, phase 5 completed.

• I have removed every tree and bushes etc in pink bamboo forest,
• removed a lot of trees and bushes in green land
• swamp, removed 75% of them.

auto save was blocking the main thread when it was running. then that error started to show up, eventually save corrupted and gine.

Can't be console save file size limitation, when my save got corrupted it was around 440 mb, Forza Horizon's save file is 1.5 gb.

[topaz basalt]

Autosave always pauses the game for the saving, to get consistent state.
Just that that pause gets longer and longer larger the save is.

[covert oriole]

How can I remove those flower cocoons in the red bamboo forest?

[topaz basalt]

If something doesn't go away with chainsaw or explosives, it cannot be removed currently.

[covert oriole]

Damm it

[ruby ginkgo]

use explosive rebar, not to stem or body but baloony thing

[leaden scaffold]

good advice, thanks. Ive memorized △,↑,X and using it im able to switch between the two pretty fast

[covert oriole]

How can I create a priority pipe for water bioproduct

[ruby ginkgo]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/images/Pipeline_Manual.pdf

[uneven jolt]

So with the different nuke rods... only difference is the burn time? The plant is still going to produce 2,500 MW (at 100%)?

Wait (cause I feel like I've been looking at this wrong)... if im making 21 rods, would that be 21 nuke plants? Or would it be like 5 plants since the burn rate is 300 seconds for 0.2?

[surreal lichen]

Correct, yeah -- that's true for all power-generation buildings as well. A fuel gen is always 250MW; a coal gen is always 75MW. The only difference between fuels is the burn time

[uneven jolt]

Wait (cause I feel like I've been looking at this wrong)... if im making 21 rods, would that be 21 nuke plants? Or would it be like 5 plants since the burn rate is 300 seconds for 0.2?

[surreal lichen]

For Uranium rods, the burn time in a NPP is 0.2/min, which means that 21/min Uranium rods can feed 105 nuclear power plants (at 100%, anyway)

[uneven jolt]

Oh.... im doing math wrong

So if I wanted to overclock to 200% I would divide 105 by 2 right?

For the record im copying what you said and saving it so I can remind myself later. So please any nuggets of knowledge are appreciated

[surreal lichen]

And yeah, when building out power at those scales, it's generally quite nice to overclock the gens

[uneven jolt]

Bro I made a plant making 10 rods and I only make 5 plants overclocked at 200% and was wondering why my Uranium rods were backing up (so I just was sinking them) and I made another plant with 9 rods and 9 plants

Now I need to go add NPPs ASAP. Thatll add some more MW to my grid and help meet my goal of increasing it to 200+k MW

[surreal lichen]

10/min Uranium Rods can easily get you to 200GW once you add in Plutonium

[uneven jolt]

I was sinking the pluto so I didn't have waste

Damn you cant sink the fisconium rods

[uneven jolt]

Bro im not mad lol. But im salty cause I didnt know

I didnt think to rethink the math

[lucid compass]

Anybody know if the Xbox version on the game works on PC (play anywhere?)

[ruby ginkgo]

there is no cross save. if you are playing on pc you are locked to pc and vice versa for consoles.

[surreal lichen]

Oh, I didn't mean to attach any emotional connotation to my statement. :D Was meant as an encouragement, nothing more. :)

[uneven jolt]

Oh that wasn't aimed at you. Im just saying im salty as hell cause I robbed myself of MW. I know its probably a newbie mistake lol

[surreal lichen]

Aha, gotcha. :D Well, at least you know that you've got room for a lot more power now!

Basically free, since you're already making the rods. :)

Just need some extra piping, basically

[uneven jolt]

If im going to max out the NPP, ill do it on the far right of the map in the desert. You can go pretty far out before you hit the edge of the map

Ill do that next save

But im torn, cause Pluto give more burn time but give waste, then id have no choice but to make fisconium rods and burn them since I cant sink them

But I also feel like 53~ NPP should be plenty but it'll be a god save so I can always go bigger

[surreal lichen]

Plutonium generates waste far more slowly than Uranium, btw

Waste storage really isn't a big deal, especially with Plutonium

[uneven jolt]

Oh yea. Pluto makes 1 can while uranium makes 50

[surreal lichen]

You know the rate at which you're generating waste, you know how much waste can fit in a single ISC, so you know how long a single ISC gets you of playtime. Some work in a blueprinter and you've got a blueprint which gives you X hours of playtime; slap down a bunch of those and you can pretty trivially give yourself literally hundreds of hours

Just make sure that if you do end up spending those hundreds of hours ingame to go expand your storage if need be. :D

[uneven jolt]

Right right

[surreal lichen]

I'm personally quite fond of Ficsonium, but keep in mind that it is very resource-expensive (particularly SAM), and doesn't provide much extra power on its own

[uneven jolt]

Yea I saw that and it burns faster than the rest

But I could do it just to say I did

[surreal lichen]

It's SAM-heavy enough that folks doing really big nuclear buildouts might literally not be able to convert all their Plutonium waste to ficsonium. At some point you'd need to start slooping your RSAM production but even that only buys you so much time

[uneven jolt]

Damn

[surreal lichen]

My back-of-napkin math seemed to tell me that you'd be generally fine so long as your total nuclear gross power (U+Pu+Fi) is <= 1TW or so, though you'd want to plan carefully when building that big, to make sure you've got enough SAM available for whatever else you want to use it for

[uneven jolt]

But i could always do the Sat tools maps. Do max amount of Uran Rods (with 2100 U ore and Baux conversion), then take that waste from those plants and do the math on Pluto rods.
And halve it. Sink half the pluto rods and burn the other half

That would be a hefty project and take a lot of time but then my power grid would be solid

[uneven jolt]

Since the NPPs are all 2500 MW I just need to do the math to not hit 1TW with them. Ill still probably do a Rocket Fuel plant maybe even an Iodize Fuel one

Damn 1 trillion watts is a large ass amount of watts

[surreal lichen]

Well, don't take that number as gospel; best to do the math (or have something like sftools) do the math for resource usage instead. :)

[uneven jolt]

Yea definitely

So im looking at pluto rod making. Im thinking 10 or 12 rods would be good (depending on the other resources that are needed). Ill burn half and sink half

That 5 or 6 ill burn will get turned into Ficsonium Rods

[surreal lichen]

Yeah, that's not gonna stress your SAM availability

[uneven jolt]

Sweet

I just gotta watch the Bauxite is all

[uneven jolt]

Wait was this a statement or a question lol

Bro the conversion rate of waste to fuel rod is wild
200 Uran Waste to 1 Pluto Rod
But then its 2 Pluto waste to 1 Fisconium Rod

[surreal lichen]

Statement; you'll have plenty of SAM leftover. :)

[uneven jolt]

Yea i just did the math. Combining the SAM ill need for the bauxite conversion and for the fisconium rods its 1,682.5 total

Which is a pure node and a normal node w/ Mk 3 miners

And the set up im planning is 48 Uran Rods, to 12 Pluto Rods (half sunk and half burned), to 6 Ficsonium Rods

[pallid burrow]

Thank you. You correctly guessed I was asking about mixed MKB + Controller support on PC. It is a major advantage on Steam and it's very unfortunate CS has decided to lock it down to one or the other. I hope they reconsider

[opal escarp]

can somebody play with me and teach me?

[uneven jolt]

Hey can they make a setting on console so I can control the time of day, a brighter flashlight, or both? Cause night time be hard to see anything especially in the swamp

[pseudo orchid]

Do you have flood lights set up? FWIW I agree but know you get more lighting later

[cold quarry]

Does anyone happen to have a list of the items in the game that are storable (around 178) in alphabetical order? Not done enough to have them in smart splitter list but want to account for them in sushi belt warehouse

[vestal torrent]

Light infrastructure sadly.. I do need it too

[clear moss]

Have the devs said anything about fixing the efficiency first trophy yet? Are they even going to fix it?

[marble umbra]

Can Xbox and PS play together?

[marble umbra]

Asking for a friend 👀

[marble umbra]

What’s the transfer rate on conveyor belts in each mk?

[umbral flume]

Known issue. The company that ported the game to console is working on it. No date yet

[umbral flume]

You can check ingame or in the wiki

[clear moss]

That’s a bit of a worry, Fishlabs aren’t exactly known for their stellar console ports. They did goat sim 3 and that still has bugs they didn’t bother to fix.

[umbral flume]

This apparently already was a thing on pc for a long time and the community found a way to solve it, but that doesnt work for console. While i hope they fix it, i dont have much hope if its already such a long lasting problem without proper solution.

[topaz basalt]

Completely different issue on PC for Effiency First, where some specific milestones don't get registered for very tiny minority of players.

[umbral flume]

How you know its different for console?

[topaz basalt]

Where those milestones are completely random to each person.

[topaz basalt]

Because on console it is general issue with PS5 only?

[umbral flume]

Oh rly? Didnt know that

[topaz basalt]

Not issue on Xbox at all AFAIK.
And on PS5 it is everyone.

Except few who might have somehow cheated that in with external tools.

[umbral flume]

Well i hope they find a way to fix it because i wanna start a new run when its fixed

Because i assume it wont be retroactive once fixed xD

[clear moss]

Right now you can get the trophy if you unlock every milestone in one session without closing the game. A few people on psnprofiles managed to unlock it that way.

It’s likely the counter for milestones unlocked is resetting every time the game opens/ closes.

[pseudo orchid]

I believe so! There just isn't Crossplay between PCs and consoles.

[drifting coyote]

Hi all, what do we know about the bugged trophy ? I saw that you just do all the games under 24h without loading but :

• can we skip onboarding?
• can we start a game, gather all the accessible hdd, somersloop some wood, build some infrastructure, then save, load and start with a fresh new 24h ?

[marble umbra]

Ight I’ll see if a friend wants to test it with me

[strong sedge]

Not on Xbox … it’s a standard SDK function and the devs are 100% in control to use it or not.

[surreal lichen]

AFAIK CSS plans to introduce K+M support for consoles in v1.2

No clue if that'll include more flexible use of controller/K+M at the same time or not though

[night cypress]

It says in the descriptions of the belts but I think it's 60 120 240 480 780 for 1-5 off the top of my head

Lol guess I should have scrolled to the bottom of the chat mb

[marble umbra]

No it doesn’t atleast not for me

[night cypress]

I was almost right its 270 not 240

[modern heart]

The belts definitely do state that info in their build menu description

In english and most other languages

[lilac edge]

<@&370483737957236737> keyboard + controller?

[pseudo orchid]

I'm loving playing with controller; it just needs to work with the d-pad for fine-tuned movements

[old violet]

I'm 44 hours into my save, and I have to automate the control units for the space elevator (I'm on their 3 thing I think)

Why is it so annoying to automate big things 💔

[trim trail]

Not sure if anyone’s already spoke about this but have major issues on Xbox of game crashing in multiplayer with me and my brother when online together , would be so much better if could host a server instead of me having to be online all the time so he can join to play , crashes every half hour minimum on phase 5 , any recommendations to help fix this be much appreciated

[azure ice]

Hey does nyone know how to do the bug where it logs you into your account as a different person, but your normal account is shown as offline? Im in a tight situation, my previous save is 20hrs prior and my only autosave is inside a chasm where if i fall i die instantly, and i cant get onto any ledges, also i have just gotten into stage 4. My idea is that i can build a bridgw under me and log back onto my qccohnt qnd i will fall onto tje bridge and be saved. Bareing in mind i have never died on this save and i would like it to remain that way

[granite tendon]

is there mouse and keyboard on console

?

[surreal lichen]

Not yet, but planned for v1.2 (which should theoretically be out sometime before July)

[granite tendon]

oh ty

[cold lion]

Hey the game is multiplayer right ?

[naive umbra]

For consoles yea. From pc to console? No

No cross-platform is what im trying to say

[cold lion]

Okay I’m just looking for people to play with

[naive umbra]

#1201555265942724758

[cold lion]

Yea I made a post

[cold lion]

Hey is there cross plat for Xbox and PlayStation

[covert oriole]

How can I add custom color palettes on the ps5?

[surreal lichen]

Yes, should work fine, though I believe you have to be linked up with each other via Epic or something. (Though maybe not; take that advice with a grain of salt. :)

[cold lion]

Ok

[surreal lichen]

On any of the platforms, you've just got the fiveish "default" swatches, sixteen more to play with at the bottom, and one "custom" swatch at the top

For all but the custom one, changes you make to the swatches in the Customizer will automatically update the coloring for anything using that swatch in your world

The custom swatch is different in that things don't update when you change the custom one, so that's generally your workhorse for doing detailed coloring outside of the "standard" set of swatches

You can at least save individual colors in the color-chooser dialog, though it's a bit annoying for swataches since you have to do that for both the primary and secondary colors

On PC you can right-click on any of the swatches to set them as the "default" for various buildable types, so you can have the swatches applied automatically instead of having to "paint" them after the fact

Not sure what the controller equivalent is for that, but I assume it's still possible

[wraith flax]

Spaghetti > straight and neat

[fierce sinew]

really?

im 30hours in and i want to restart my iron/copper/steel factories

[wraith flax]

Yes

Really

[cold lion]

Hey guys

I got up to something

[old violet]

Have fun 🙂

[old violet]

Do share

[cold lion]

Look in the off topic media

[uneven jolt]

Random note: if I were to go into Sat Tools to the calculator tab and put in every item and maximize it... you think its doable?

And this is purely for the hell of it.

Like put it to Tier 9 unlocked, everything is available. Would it work?

[surreal lichen]

I'd expect the solver to at least give you an answer, though the "maximize" output option doesn't really work how you might hope with multiple items in there

It basically ends up solving for equal production rates of each item

For instance, if I restrict Iron Ore to 60/min but leave Crude Oil at the default (12,600/min) and "maximize" both Iron Plates and Plastic, you'll see that it only gives you 40/min of each: https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production?share=xk5ClW0SNQM2fgXk6rzN

[uneven jolt]

Right. Ill test it out

[surreal lichen]

If you want to actually maximize multiple outputs, what you've gotta do is prioritize which one is most important to maximize and do that one first, and once you get that answer switch it to target that specific per-min production rather than "maximize." Then add in the next one and do the same, etc

[uneven jolt]

So if I did ballistic drives first and it said 45, put that in and then go to ai server expansions

[surreal lichen]

Though keep in mind that you're definitely making a pretty extreme prioritization choice there

[uneven jolt]

I wouldn't actually pick that cause it would bottle neck everything

[surreal lichen]

Maximizing BWDs first is almost certainly going to really limit the amount of AIES you can create in the next step

Yeah

[uneven jolt]

I could set the final 4 elevator pieces to 2 each and the go down the line

Ill maybe max out Uran Power rods or close to it, then go down the chain to Pluto and Fisconium rods

Thats gonna be a big ass power grid

[surreal lichen]

Yeah, it's actually tough to get a good "max Uranium power" number from sftools 'cause it doesn't really solve for power output, and doesn't solve "in-between" the nuclear steps

I seem to think that max nuclear is something like 13-14TW?

[uneven jolt]

That's insane

But hey, my power issues would be covered

[warm linden]

When I modeled it it was around 1.6 TW assuming no slooping

If you're looking for a factory modeled with everything maxed out I recently made one using the same tool, total power usage sits around 1.1 TW. though I've been warned that the game won't be able to handle it. I say my console shall burn in glorious fire.

Additionally, has anyone else really been struggling to find people to play with?

It just feels like the game is so dead in the multiplayer sense on console even so soon after release, which saddens me.

[umbral flume]

I guess the no dedicated servers is not optimal for multiplayer in such a game

[warm linden]

That's true. It still feels like there should be more people just wanting to hang out and build together though, even if it's in separate worlds. idk, maybe I'm just the outlier engineer extrovert lol.

[topaz basalt]

Even on PC that is common complaint.
Most people playing the game don't want to play MP with random people they don't know.

And lot wouldn't play the game in MP even with their friends.

[warm linden]

That's strange to me, though I also come largely from Sea of Thieves where that sort of collaboration with random people is more or less a core game mechanic haha

[uneven jolt]

You used Satisfactory Tools? Can you share the link?

[warm linden]

Yeah, let me grab the updated one

[uneven jolt]

Awesoooome!!!

Now I can see how insane this will be

[warm linden]

https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production?share=lbG8rc9EfqWZfkueJJx8

[robust crypt]

this is fine. similar to mine

[uneven jolt]

Holy crap that looks insane

[warm linden]

it does assume you sloop every sam constructor, but other than that doesn't require any sloops, though I'll probably end up using some to make numbers nicer with weird percentages

[uneven jolt]

Gotta figure out a way to organize it into sections or something maybe. Build up to a certain point across the board and then transport. Idk its a thought

Ill throw in my own Alt recipes as well to see what changes

[warm linden]

I have all the alts, those are just the ones I've chosed to use

[uneven jolt]

Like if I use the Pure Ingot recipes I could group all the Ingot production together

[warm linden]

I used copper alloy just to use more iron, and leached caterium to get more caterium.

cause like

I could use pure

but then I've gotta figure out what to do with like 60% of the worlds iron.

so while it's not technically the most efficient.

It'll be easier question mark.

I hope.

[uneven jolt]

Oh your set up uses all the ore in the world?

[uneven jolt]

Are you doing this on a normal save or a creative?

[warm linden]

More or less, and normal

I've reached the point in the save where it's basically creative though haha]

[uneven jolt]

What does that point look like lol? Cause the amount of materials and space youre gonna need to do this is a lot

[warm linden]

Well, for space it's just building the factories on semi floating foundation where I want that production to happen, and for resources it's just stockpiles into dimensional depots

As production goes on in the background

It'll be a very gradual switch to the new factory

[uneven jolt]

I see i see.
I think imma try to do it from the ground up and then maybe on another save start at like a certain tier and go from there

I gotta organize it somehow. Try and make it flow in a decent way

[uneven jolt]

One question: why the portable miner at 1/min?

[warm linden]

I try to automate all the materials I need to build anything

[uneven jolt]

Oooh

I think i have an idea (for my brain at least) on how to break down the plan into sections so I can follow the map. And its literally that. Break it down by Ore and fuel.

So ill map out where im going to set up the nuclear field(s) and do those, then the iron section as best I can, then the copper and so on. The second floor will be the next advanced part, the assemblers and manufacturers. I think ill do all the quantum stuff on its own floor since the particle accelerators are so damn big lol

[uneven jolt]

How are you breaking the web network down and organizing it though? I know the belts are going to cross and everything but what's your plan?

[warm linden]

Can I DM to avoid slowmode being a pain?

[uneven jolt]

Yea

[warm linden]

Has anyone on xbox experienced being unable to save your game at all? I've tried everything, and when I tried to launch it with cloud gaming instead the save just crashed the game.

[warm linden]

a second installation cycle seems to have fixed it

[uneven jolt]

How do you calculate ionized fuel to generator ratio?

[warm linden]

check the wiki on that one, just divide by fuel used/min and that's how many gennys ya need

[warm linden]

I: was wrong. if anyone has a solution to this let me know

[robust crypt]

In the fuel generator top left there is a ◽️ on the corner of that there is a circle. Highlight circle for per minutes use

Then divide you fuel by it

[uneven jolt]

Saving this to try when I get home

[robust crypt]

For example if I generate 4800 units per minute of rocket fuel and my generator uses 10/min it would be

4800÷10

[uneven jolt]

Gotcha

Thanks

[uneven jolt]

Bro why does discord show theres a new message when there isn't one

[chilly onyx]

Why's it so hard to find ppl to play with like fr who cared about random man I just wanna make some cool shit with decent ppl

[zinc spindle]

Mood

[chilly onyx]

Right

I'm so damn bored I've beaten the game 3 times on PC and now once on console and ain't no one down to play with me dog

[zinc spindle]

Im on my first ever playthrough and i am having ISSUES

[chilly onyx]

Wanna run together I can help 🤜🏽🤜🏽

[uneven jolt]

Is the recipe list in-game organized by complexity of crafting, or by ore?

[zinc spindle]

Im down

[zinc spindle]

Looks to be by ore

or material

[uneven jolt]

Hmmm okay. Thats interesting

I have a mega creation idea (courtesy of thefloweringlilies) and im trying to organize it.
On Satisfactory Tools it organizes items by alphabet. Trying to map it out

[zinc spindle]

That could be good but that would still end up organizing by material but in slightly different order

[uneven jolt]

It does. The web/map chart is confusing to follow. I need to move nodes around

[random relic]

The wiki categorizes it by tier

Just find the items box on the main page in the navigation section

[uneven jolt]

Okay. Cause on Satisfactory tools I organizes by building which tells me how many is making what item which may help

[random relic]

The wiki has all that too

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/

(not the fandom one)

[uneven jolt]

Yea this project is about to be insane

[naive umbra]

I want satisfactory for ps5. But am too broke. Spent so long on pc. I wana try it on console

[zinc spindle]

Its not a horrible expierence

[zinc spindle]

its just a lack of enough buttons and remembering all the buttons

[chilly onyx]

Bet what's your ps name m8

[chilly onyx]

True

[zinc spindle]

Its on my discord

Idd have to add you due to my settings

[uneven jolt]

I do feel like I need more buttons. But I also want some mods like PC has

[zinc spindle]

I love the Nezuko PfP btw

[chilly onyx]

😂thanks

Added

I'm also free to play for a bit

[zinc spindle]

Nice start a party

[chilly onyx]

Bet

[zinc spindle]

I feel like mods arent too hard to implement on console ex. Arma, but the thing is, does CoffeeStain want to do the work for it and do you allow community made mods?

[uneven jolt]

Yea thats the dilemma. So ill just use the advanced settings and rock out next save

[zinc spindle]

mood

[lucid compass]

I enjoy it on the Xbox. It’s fun to play on a 75” screen but there’s certain things I miss, even as a guy who never uses mods, the SCIM, and has a calculator

Kinda sucks there’s no dedicated server for it.

[uneven jolt]

Hey I got a question for you

[warm linden]

What's up?

[uneven jolt]

Howd you get your nuclear rods all to work? Im trying to isolate the three of them by themselves and the tool just fails lol

[warm linden]

Uranium is easy, then for plutonium and ficsonium you need to add the waste from the prior one in as a input item. The tool doesn't see the nuclear generator as a production building even though it very technically is

[uneven jolt]

I did that. I even selected all alt recipes...
Ill keep messing with it. Maxeek got it to work on the steam modeler app so idk why it isn't working

[uneven jolt]

So i got the uranium rods and the plutonium rods to work together. Can't get the fisconium ones. I can get to 95.6 and it'll work. After that is shuts down

[warm linden]

Ah yeah, that's because of the SAM limit. You'll need to double the sam available in the world, which is doable by slooping all your reanimated SAM constructors. Takes 36 sloops if I remember right.

[uneven jolt]

Oooooh

Got it!!

[chilly onyx]

True there

[uneven jolt]

Ive isolated the nuke rods to a page and the ionized fuel, package ionized, and plastic/rubber to a page

[brisk lion]

So apparently I hate my shelf, planed a 72 nuclear reactor power facility, zero waste, and well I used the swamp and no trains, I used only belts and resources with ~1200m. After 2 days of planning, a lot of math, 30 hours of play time. Up and running, now….. many hours of troubleshooting and checking….

[uneven jolt]

Dear god why? Why must you hurt yourself?

[robust crypt]

was it worth it. Did you get joy from this?

[umbral cargo]

Ok so I think i put a suggestion in the right place. At very least I hope it gives the devs a good chuckle

Asked for chocolate. You know for ficsmas. Use pipes and refineries

[lilac edge]

would have to be dairy-free, as the only milk on the continent is highly combustible

[umbral flume]

Does someone know if blueprints are shared between saves on ps5? Or do i have to redo them in a new save?

[umbral flume]

Casually quoting venat

[robust crypt]

yopu gotta redo them

[umbral flume]

Sadge while waiting for the trophy fix and 1.2 update i thought i could spend the time making nice blueprints

[brisk lion]

Well…. Satisfaction…

[chilly onyx]

Tbf if it ain't satisfaction it ain't right

[umbral cargo]

I mean would it even be chocolate? But I figured we can make trees that spit out gifts. Why not build a liquid source building to produce all the necessary things for the event.

Plus with Ada I'm sure they could have lines about us feeding in parts to then be chemically altered into what we needed. Well close enough anyways. You know there would need to be byproducts. 😉
Milk is combustible? How about a byproducts fuel that combines with the snow like substance to have all exhaust be snow instead on things it's used on?
There are possible ways

[lilac edge]

specifically Lizard Doggo milk.

we don't know the properties of hog, stinger, or bean milk.

[autumn mica]

Ugh sadly I think I need a break from this game I dream big and can never deliver and when your by yourself it sucks

[uneven jolt]

I tamed my first lizard doggo!

[naive umbra]

I tame them, then bring them to a 2x2 box and trap them there

[half depot]

Is anyone having a crashing issue

Also do lizard doggo's respawn

[naive umbra]

Most animals do. If there is no building that's powered nearby

[surreal lichen]

I believe it's only hostile mobs whose spawns can be disabled by nearby Pioneer buildings, btw,

Doesn't technically have to be powered buildings -- I believe how it works is that everything you build has a "suppress nearby hostile mob spawns" value, with some things having higher values than others. Powered machines do have a higher value, so those tend to be more effective. But at some point even just foundations will do the trick

[safe umbra]

Does anyone know when Dev streams will start again?

[marble umbra]

Should I have an overflow system where it sinks all items in emergencies?

[lilac edge]

-# emergencies normal operation

[marble umbra]

What?

[lilac edge]

implying lines will always overflow because math is hard 😛

[marble umbra]

I have the perfect rotor factory I believe

[lilac edge]

by sinks all items in emergencies do you mean having things all set up so you just need to add/remove a belt segment to divert flow?

[marble umbra]

Ig yea

[lilac edge]

it's more straightforward to use smart splitters set to overflow to always sink excess capacity

but sure, you could do that

[marble umbra]

I don't have smart filters yet

[lilac edge]

do you have much caterium production going on?

[marble umbra]

No i honestly forgot about that

[lilac edge]

lol

[marble umbra]

I should go set that up lol

[lilac edge]

option 1: do it manually as a "temporary" setup
option 2: go unlock smart splitters first

bearing in mind pursuing option 2 will get you into the habit of "I should set up these complex factories just to do a thing in my other factories. [one week later] "now what was I doing?"

[marble umbra]

Lol got it im gonna get back on and start doing that

[lilac edge]

[marble umbra]

Should I invest in hyper tubes for long distance travel?

[lilac edge]

hypertubes don't require as much attention when travelling long distance as ziplines do

[serene trout]

Can't do it myself unfortunately, I've passed it along 👍

[marble umbra]

Do i have my hyper tubes specially for long distance travel even tho they are really fun to me

[lilac edge]

do you need an excuse to take a poop break?

[marble umbra]

Wdym

[lilac edge]

long distance hyper tube = enter, step away from computer for a bit

[marble umbra]

Does it I just thought it was an fast travel method

[lilac edge]

it is, but if it takes you a couple minutes to sit and watch yourself go from A to B, can also use it to take a step away to go pee/poop/eat/drink/exercise/check the mailbox

[marble umbra]

Ah yea ig so

I mean I plan on having it go from my little gas station to my steel mill across the biome

[lilac edge]

I tend to build a hypertube interchange at my hub so I can get to everywhere from one place

[chilly onyx]

Yo anyone up for a game?

New start up?

[marble umbra]

Hey I need help

How do you get Caterium Electronics unlocked? It won't let me

[naive umbra]

#1201555265942724758

Best spot for that

[naive umbra]

In the MAM?

[marble umbra]

It won't let me click research

[naive umbra]

Like, load up mam, not letting you hit the research button? Or does the tree not exist for you yet

[marble umbra]

It won't let me hit research button I'm in the mam it just won't let me research it

I'm rebooting rn

[naive umbra]

Odd...

[marble umbra]

Yea it won't let me go further in the caterium research tree

[naive umbra]

Did you make sure you had enough resources to research it?

[marble umbra]

I did still didnt work

[naive umbra]

Weird.

[marble umbra]

Got it fixed!

[small swan]

Xbox can play with ps5

[mossy olive]

i sold my xbox for RAM

[small swan]

[small swan]

I get that

[buoyant solar]

Just overclock your ram with powershards

Struggling but getting there

[cosmic cargo]

Whats the best place to make steel/general purpose factory? Looking for a flat, rich place to settle down

[wooden drift]

Hello pioneers, is anyone else having the issue that a trophy is not unlocking? It’s about the milestone trophy. I’ve completed Tier 9 but didn’t receive it. I’m playing on PS5.

[modern heart]

Thats a known issue with not feasible workaround on PS5

Iirc it only triggers there if you get all milestones in one session

[wooden drift]

Ok, thanks. I hope CS will fix it soon. It’s the last trophy I need for platinum.

[lilac edge]

I thought they fixed that ?

[modern heart]

Morning yal

[high raptor]

Hi y'all. I just recently got the game on my ps5!

I would like to talk with someone who would be willing to guide/help me until I am less confused and I know what I'm doing

[robust crypt]

the totalxcplipse build along guide is pretty handy

butr for groups try #1201555265942724758

[chilly onyx]

Yo I'm free m8

[umbral flume]

Same i hope its get fixed soon but i also think we will have to get it again in a new run

[autumn mica]

Piggy backing off of what he said keep in mind half the LFG people you will get are trolls other half join to then give you a world tour of their world and never to be heard from again then maybe 1% will actually help and play

[covert oriole]

A question, since all of you who are in this chat are probably from console....but can you make BUILD a little more complicated in terms of structure? Creating curved and thick areas? I honestly can't do it with the controller

[warm linden]

Yeah, I've had a good degree of success with it.

The amount of stuff possible in vanilla is mind blowing, take a look at the winner of this years ficsmas contest for an example

When it comes to the concept of just building in the game, anything you can do on PC you can do on console.

[mossy olive]

I had no ram at all

[wary chasm]

Are thermal propulsion rockets going to be needed in phase 5 or just every phase 4 space assembly part like will they be needed to make phase 5 items

[modern heart]

yes

all the previous parts of this phase will be needed in the next one

[surreal lichen]

Though note that the quantities required for Phase 5 aren't bad; whatever rate you produce for P4 is likely to be fine for P5

[dapper egret]

is there a eta on patch 1.2 for the game?

[surreal lichen]

Still just "first half of this year"

Once we have new info it'll almost certainly be in #announcements

[wary chasm]

To make other items that aren’t space elevator parts

[wary chasm]

At some point when I’ll need to have more mw should I skip ionized fuel and do nuclear powerplant instead

[modern heart]

Many people swear on rocket fuel all the way

Its simple to make and better energy-wise than ionized fuel

Nuclear is the more complex alternative, main upside is that it ideally needs 0 oil and needs far less sulfur

[dark pond]

I didn't realize for a long time that rocket fuel plants were a thing (I didn't read anything online while playing). So when I finished tier 9 I only had coal power, some geo, and two uranium reactors. That gave me more than enough mw.

Nuclear was fun to setup. And later ficsonium and alien. Still don't have any rocket fuel plants.

[idle gale]

Is anyone interested in joining me on my world to play

[robust crypt]

try #1201555265942724758

[idle gale]

Ok thanks

[safe spindle]

does anyone know if console commands and mnk are coming to console anytime soon?

[gritty karma]

exactly this i mean in the long run ionized is only good for the player and maybe drones depending on setup since in a overall burning rocket fuel in fuel gens is better output then either ionized recipe we currently have access to

[robust crypt]

when i made ionized i just shunted my packaged rocket fuel line to a ionize setup temporally to fill a industrail storage with packaged ionized then shunted it back and that was enough for the enitre run

[gritty karma]

Yeah kinda what I said I mean ionized is only good for player jetpack and maybe drones only depending on setup I mean I have same as you one industrial chest with a depo for jetpack use and another line primed to like 40+ drones I mean I'm making 5 semi maxed out blenders of rocket fuel with 3 of them for just fuel generators and 2 packaging rocket fuel to make the dark ion fuel recipe since I made ionized fuel before my infinite power shards which are all made in the same area

[robust crypt]

at the low cost of 8 tickets you get 100 units and honestly come late game you dont use your jety pack much

[gritty karma]

Yeah only have so many tickets after buying the golden nut so I'm fine having a constant production

I mean last time I played I was at 40 mill per ticket

Even if I use hover more it's nice having the production when I or anyone who joins can have

[robust crypt]

ya, build what suits your needs ^_^

that sthe whole game in a golden nut

[gritty karma]

Lol exactly

I mean can't wait to see what 1.2 adds besides what has been teased

I mean If need be I had like 2 full industrial of the ballistic warp drive in case I need coupons I mean those drives are definitely needed to get to the golden nut for the common console people who can't use mods

[wary chasm]

I’m guessing the website satisfactoytools.com it isn’t good for building an all aluminium factory or just all anything really

[modern heart]

Why not?

Its one of the better tools

You just have to enable the right alts and disable any unwanted recipes

Because it will optimize to use the most resource efficient recipe chain with the available recipes

[white bronze]

Does somoen have the same problem as me with game crashes?

I play on the xbox series i am hosting with a mate that plays on PlayStation. A bunch of times like 3-5 times in an hour the game just crashes completly and i get thrown into the xbox home screen. We realy dont know what we can do against it, we tried without auto-saving, without hyperloop

We are just on tier 4 and only have 2 trains and 3 drones

If anyone knows what we can do please help us because it robs realy a lot of funy

How can we workaround this problem? What could be the Probleme? I just want to undestand it? Or Does Nobody know?

[night sluice]

I don't have console and have no idea if this is the issue but it's definitely worth trying as a troubleshooting step. Are you on a wired internet connection or is your console on wifi? If you're on wifi I'd definitely try switching to an ethernet cable since desync and jitter go hand in hand with wifi and can cause weird issues.

[white bronze]

Omg i will try it

[night sluice]

hope it helps

when hosting with a friend, network quality becomes a real issue to manage sometimes

[white bronze]

It didn‘t worked

[robust crypt]

did you look in #1038092680493801533 for similar situations?

[white bronze]

Theres i think nothing thats like our Situation written down there

The Mysterious thing is my friend is doesnt even get an error or something like that, my game crahes completly and throwes me back to my console home screen and his is completly restarting so that he is in his game home screen but like i said without any error msg

[robust crypt]

sucks

[robust crypt]

you can try here

https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/

[wary chasm]

Oh I just usually have all base recipes on same with all alt recipes

[wary chasm]

Because for some reason when I put thermal propulsion rockets & turbo motor & cooling system & fused frames & Alclad aluminium sheet & pressure conversion cubes all of these at 10 per minute it doesn’t show be the visualisation

[modern heart]

Did you try adding them one after another and seeingnif it breaks somewhere along the way

[robust crypt]

another option is to make a seprate tab for each. Personally i prefer this way as it breaks it down into smaller manageable sections.

[modern heart]

Tools usually works fine as long as its really doable

https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production?share=GJrrR7m3UBrcnet7aD2J

seems to work fine

[robust crypt]

ive helped a few ppl today using tools, i personally have had no issues but people are saying it is broken.

[wary chasm]

I tried doing that having the website open of two different tabs but it didn’t work because for some reason it showed the same items I selected on the other one

[modern heart]

By tab do you mean a browser tab or a tools production tab

Because tools itself also has tabs for different factory plans

[noble violet]

any way to get your save files on xbox?

check #1201555265942724758

[covert crystal]

Okay thank you

[robust crypt]

no problem ^_^ hope to hear how your adventure goes

[covert crystal]

So far am on my 2nd world I've gt about 34h in as I took long route on 2nd world n waited for coal energy before I powered my irn factory I'll upload some pics if that's aloud in here

[robust crypt]

if you want commentary #design-and-architecture is best if you just want to show off #screenshots

[covert crystal]

OK thanks

[robust crypt]

no problem most sections are pretty self explanatory. as for world false starts i did that too. ive cleared the game 7 times over ten worlds

[marble umbra]

Should I continue to upgrade my factories to try and produce more?

Or should I keep it the way it is which is perfectly fine

[robust crypt]

leave it. If you need more build more else where.

Lets say your ore has a mk1 miner now you have the ability to upgrade it to Mk2. upgrade the miner then put a splitter in front shunt the new resources to a new factory or facility leaving what you already have in place.

I like building for purpose and leaving it that way

[marble umbra]

Well I have already upgraded a miner to MK2 and I must say I have 3 things being produced and stored from just the one when I get mk3 should I upgrade it to mk 3 and get more resources or keep it the way it is now?

[robust crypt]

mark three is a long way from mk2. You can cross that bridge when you get there ^_^ lots of resources of the map

[marble umbra]

Ok I thought mk 3 was right after mk 2

[robust crypt]

to put it in perspective a Pure node with a fully overclocked mk3 miner gives you 1200 ore per minute

[marble umbra]

10x than what I have on my normal node rn

[robust crypt]

as a rule of thumb i always overclock miners to my highest belt speed and just sink what im not using worst case more points

if none of that makes sense disregard.
"

[marble umbra]

It does and doesn’t ik what you mean I just don’t see me doing that personally

[robust crypt]

many ways to play ^_^

[marble umbra]

So true

[robust crypt]

i play very diffrent now then i did 1000 hours ago im sure in 200 hours itll change again

[marble umbra]

Yea

[marble umbra]

Ugh I can’t play yet tn this is so irritating

[wary chasm]

I meant browser tabs like the ones in chrome

[wary chasm]

Wait it does?

[robust crypt]

yes sir

[agile otter]

does slopping miners work

sloop*

[surreal lichen]

Nope, no place to put the sloops

[agile otter]

aw

also if u overclock power generators what does that do again?

does it increase cost of resources exponentially

[torpid island]

Hello all! Anyone got the fix on servers for console players?

[wary chasm]

Okay so I havent done a nuclear powerplant before but I wanna know if I should worry about thinking or planning to make uranium fuel rods & plutonium as well or should I first make uranium fuel rods & not worry about making plutonium fuel rods

Also why is it that when I put none fissile uranium in the satisfactorytools.com it doesn’t show me the visualisation I’m having this problem either plutonium fuel rods thermal propulsion rockets

[steady plinth]

Sure is quiet at CoffeeStain....

[blazing sage]

With NPP I’d say it depends. If you can setup processing for the nuclear waste now then definitely do. Turning it into plutonium and furthering its production into fully useable/sinkable items is very good as you don’t have nuclear waste building up in an area and making it near impossible to get around there. If you have an area you never visit that you can just setup hundreds of boxes you may be able to make it through a good amount of hours producing and storing the waste but again, you’ll be affected by being near it.

Tdlr if you can you definitely SHOULD

With production lines this may be a given but it’s good to look at the amount of materials you have vs the end products. Then, starting from the end, work your way backwards.

[wary chasm]

So what I should not worry to much about making plutonium fuel rods at the moment atleast where I haven’t even made much progress into making uranium fuel rods

[wheat harbor]

whats wrong about storing all waste in one place when it comes to radiation?

Isnt there a certain limit where radiation tick gets to?

[robust crypt]

nothing

[wheat harbor]

"making it near impossible to get around there" was wondering about this comment as if too much waste in one place like wastes 1 filter/sec

[surreal lichen]

There is a max radiation value, yeah, at which point your Iodine Filter usage caps out at 5/min. But so long as you've got 5/min filters automated, you could literally spend the rest of the game with radioactive material in your inventory and be fine (so long as you remember to top up your filter usage)

In terms of map radiation, ever-increasing amounts of waste will technically cause the irradiated area to keep growing, but it's an inverse-square dropoff, so practically it doesn't tend to be much of a problem

On big nuclear buildouts on long-running saves, it's not unheard of to have the radiation be irradiating a whole biome (or at least a big chunk of a biome) but it'll rarely get beyond that point

I forget what the math was but I think it's something like literal years of playtime, on a relatively big nuclear buildout, before you'd irradiate the entire map

(and then even if you did, 5/min Iodine filters would keep you from ever taking damge)

(Though admittedly the nonstop click click click might drive you a bit insane. :D)

Anyway, all of that is to say that if you decide to just store your waste offshore somewhere, you're unlikely to ever have to worry about it

You know how quickly you're generating waste, you know how much waste can fit inside an ISC, and you can pretty easily make blueprints of bunches-of-ISC. You can decide exactly how many hundreds of hours of playtime to give yourself before you'd have to expand waste storage

[sudden bay]

what is this update

ive already encountered 5 bugs

[visual bloom]

Game just had tiny update?

[upper hemlock]

I came here just to see what the update was, no word on details yet?

Well ps5 patch notes I guess

[robust crypt]

no update today for pc is all i know lol

I'm sure the consoles need some love

[floral pollen]

Hi everybody, today's patch should change your version to: "1.1.2.0 CL#469909" on the bottom left of the title screen, The most important thing from this patch is that it includes a potential fix for being unable to unlock the "Efficiency First" trophy and getting the Platinum Trophy on PlayStation.

In order to obtain the trophy, you may have to interact with the HUB terminal (Where you see the milestones) for some information to refresh, then the trophy

Please let us know if this addresses the issue finally 🙂

There's also other assorted bug fixes in this patch so if you notice any new issues you can let us know over on our QA site: https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/

[strong sedge]

And what was fixed on Xbox ?

[robust crypt]

i imagine the patch is for both consoles

[umbral flume]

Poggggg need to try asap when im home

[fiery parrot]

Can’t connect belts to storage containers on ps5 as of this morning

Reloading fixed it…belts were completely broken and not attaching to anything.

[night sluice]

I tend to look for normal nodes with mk3 miners since you can max them out with mk5 belts

pure nodes can't be mined fully with mk3 miners and mk5 belts

[umbral flume]

Can confirm, trophy popped as soon i touched the HUB terminal

Finally my well earned plat 😁

[umbral flume]

Sooooo when 1.2 so i can start a new run now that trophies are fixed.

[robust crypt]

you seem to have high hopes for 1.2

[umbral flume]

I dont have any expectations tbh. But i said myself imma start a new run once 1.2 is out because i thought i have to, once the trophies are fixed to unlock them again (didnt expect efficiency first to count retroactive). So now i want 1.2 to start a new run

[robust crypt]

ah, just aa placeholder gotcha

[robust crypt]

ngl i like it when i start a new run so ill iuse any excuse

[novel dock]

Is it worth buying the game on ps5?

[devout sequoia]

Wdym?

[novel dock]

Does the game run good? Is it good optimized? Are there framedrops? Is the gameplay good on ps5?

All that kind of stuff.

Also never played the game before but seen some videos about it.

So is the game worth buying on the ps5 (not ps5 pro)

[umbral flume]

I played through the whole game on ps5. At the start i had a few crashed but it seems they fixed that because didnt have another crash for 150h after.

With todays patch all trophies are fixed too.

Performance and all was totally fine for me.

Only thing im not sure if fixed by now is adjusting production numbers in other languages then english. When i played in german first the decimals automatically got rounded down so fine adjustment wasnt possible.

Besides that awesome game and runs smooth. Just be aware highly addicting

And i played on base ps5 too

[novel dock]

Alright, damn thats alot of good info.
Danke

[umbral flume]

Gerne 🙂 have fun and dont forget the factory must grow 😉

[novel dock]

I will do my best

[stuck geode]

This worked! Got it

[main vault]

Does this patch fix the crash on save bug?

[last basin]

What was today’s update for(

[umbral flume]

Trophy fix

[robust crypt]

apperently some people are turning on to broken belts too

[fiery parrot]

Pipes, hypertubes, and belts all periodically break (won’t connect to anything) and require game to be reloaded on ps5. I’ve reloaded 15-20 times today.

[dark pond]

Was that after the patch? Wondering if I should hold off if they need a hotfix. Platinum trophy is attractive but I don't wanna gank all my belts.

[carmine orchid]

Same for me. Building pipes works until I build something else then pipes won't snap to anything. After trying to build a pipe the 2nd time, belts won't snap to anything

[carmine orchid]

Turning snapping off allows them to snap again so they'll snap with snapping off but won't snap with snapping on

[last basin]

They did more than that I’ve got volumetric clouds and the gas giant in the sky looks different for me now

[spare agate]

What got patched, my satisfactory just updated

[robust crypt]

moslty fix for achievments not poping

[spare agate]

Alright thank you :3

[half depot]

What was in the update to day

[robust crypt]

@half depot

[half depot]

Ya it was only 911mb

[fiery parrot]

After patch. I’d definitely hold off updating if you can. I’ve been focusing on exploring after dozens of reloads

[dark pond]

I got impatient and updated. So far so good

[still lance]

If belts aren’t connecting try R1 toggle snapping off

[wary chasm]

Can make a train intersection in a bluepoint mk2

[uneven jolt]

Wait all the trophies? Including the milestone one?

[dark pond]

Seems so. I got platinum today after patch, just needed to open Hub.

[uneven jolt]

Hell yea

[wary chasm]

Why doesn’t the satisfactorytools work when I place plutonium fuel rods in it & make it make 1 per minute

[warm linden]

It doesn't consider the reactors as production buildings. You need to put in the amount of waste required to make 1 rod a minute as an additional input

[flint oracle]

Hello, i was wondering if there is anyone that has a **Steamdeck **and is playing Satisfactory on it (endgame) i would like to know how it runs. Ive found quite a few reddit posts but most of them are years or months old, and they all seem to say different things, reason for me to come here. If anyone has the answer (TESTED pls) ping me, would highly appreciate it

[marble umbra]

Yo

[marble umbra]

Why don’t they add passenger cars since the game is multiplayer now

[topaz basalt]

Been multiplayer from before trains even being in the game

[umbral cargo]

And every train is a passenger train if you jump on top of it. Just create an engine only with no cars and set up a "tour" of your facilities

[bleak robin]

Any idea what the update was for today?

[umbral flume]

Trophy fix

[hybrid egret]

Seems to also completely break pipes. Use pipes for more than a minute and they will become completely dysfunctional now.

[carmine orchid]

Toggle off snapping and they work again

[timber patrol]

What was the update for?

Haven't been on the game in a month or two so didn't know if something changed

[robust crypt]

fix broken achievement

[pulsar yoke]

Im like 150 hours into this game now and according to Playstation im only 78% done ✋️😭

Feel like a drug addict playing this game

[rapid knoll]

Game is still crashing on my PS5 pro when it autosaves 😖

[floral pollen]

Try deleting some blueprints from the save that is crashing and see if it helps

Also, it doesn't crash with manual saves? Only auto?

[dull edge]

what is latest ps5 updafe about?

okay they fixed platinum

[bitter rain]

I think it breaks some hyper tubes too

[rapid knoll]

Alright, gonna do that when I’m home 👍

As far as I know yes

[jolly steeple]

Hello everyone! New to the server, I'm happy to join and glad to see so many console players.

[robust crypt]

Heyo

[jolly steeple]

👋

[surreal helm]

Anyone else's game broke now after the update? Cant even attach belts to miners. 😒

[robust crypt]

People have been saying this. Hopefully a hot fix is incoming

@floral pollen

[surreal helm]

Figured i wasn't the only one. It's a lot easier to ask and hope for a answer than it is to read through a cpl days worth of comments 😅 thanks @robust crypt

[robust crypt]

Lol I get that

[surreal helm]

Might I suggest something ive seen some other pages do and create a chan on this server for bug reports? I know ive seen someone throwing out a link to a page for that, I just think it may be easier to do it on here? Just a thought. 🤷‍♂️

[robust crypt]

I think they have a dedicated website for that

[rapid knoll]

Nope, it also happens when I try to manually save the game.

[glad mauve]

the fix mentioned earlier works reliably for me on PS5: enable/disable snap while placing belts

seems to reset the behavior

[rapid knoll]

It’s unplayable for me … crash over crash and my builds are not filled with clipping or glitching … I’m depressed 😔

[still lance]

Ps5 on performance was really smooth before update now sluggish overall

[ruby ginkgo]

yeah last update really messed up things 🙁

[robust crypt]

You can report bugs here.

There is likely a report already in that case you can up vote it to signal you have that issue too

Just a fellow gamer BTW. Don't confuse me for being anything other then that.

[simple vector]

Can we get coffee stain to decrease the perimeter of the truck station, I want to align them with freight platforms but they are just a few sizes to big and there is really no reason to have the perimeter THAT big when it can obviously be shrunk

[rapid knoll]

There are reports about ps5 crash’s 2 month old and I got them since 1 month … nothing happens … I don’t know if I really can continue this struggle or wait till it is finally console release ready … because in my opinion on my experience it isn’t 😖

[acoustic urchin]

Anyone else get a bug where conveyors don't snap to anything?

[glad mauve]

See a few posts above

Try cycling through snapped/not snapped

[hybrid egret]

thanks will try this

[somber pine]

What was the update for anyone know on console or Xbox at least?

I dont a see any notes for xbox

Or console in general

[robust crypt]

all consoles to fix achievement bugs.... so other bugs have seem to popped up do to it

[fast mirage]

I feel like my game is bugged 🤣

I making 15k power but the fuse blows when I use just over 8k power

[quaint sleet]

@fast mirage there might be spikes from your factories kicking on and off, look at max cons. Power

See if it is over production, also put in some energy storage and it will probably fix the issue

[fast mirage]

Well after a few minutes it seems to be steady again now

[lyric trellis]

The Adjust Target Rate interface changed when overclocking machines, and now only lets you increment in 0.1 steps (or 0.05 if you try to finagle it with the joystick, but that is so difficult it's basically a waste of time!; whereas it used to allow for 0.01 increments using the d-pad. This is so much worse for efficiency and waste! 🙁

[fast mirage]

Just wondering how do U change the fuel that's getting used in your jatpack

[robust crypt]

on pc while the jetpack is on your back there should be a orange marker in the corner of it. click it to choose your prefered fuel.

It will use prefered first then use whatever it cqan find if there is none

[fast mirage]

Perfect thank you ❤️

[robust crypt]

no problem. some things are not explained.

[robust crypt]

derp forgot this was console chat.

[fast mirage]

I mean it managed to help me 😅 but if someone dose ask it was triangle when hovering over the jetpack whiles equip

[robust crypt]

ty ill try to remember

[fast mirage]

Your welcome 🤗

[fast mirage]

I don't no if this will be a big ask but is there a way to see how much a serton building type is consuming in total?

Like if U have 20 fuel generators is there a sheet that says how much 20 fuel generators are needed or is it just check one count how many U have and multiple it by that

[short canopy]

It's check and count.

For belts there are unlockable indicators that clip to belts that show you throughput right there on the belt.

Nothing for pipes sadly

[carmine orchid]

You can now enter a number yourself by pressing X (PS5) I haven't checked but I assume you can input more precise numbers than the slider allows, like you can with the customisation sliders

[lyric trellis]

So you can! Thank you, I didn't notice that. Unfortunately, any input numbers are automatically rounded to the nearest 0.05 it seems; so still a net loss of fine tuning from the 0.01 we had earlier D:

[floral pollen]

PSA: If you're having issues with "Conveyor belts not connecting" please check if "Snapping" (R1/RB) is active while you're attempting to build, if it is you can press R1/RB again to toggle it off, this should let you build as normal

As of last patch the status of Snapping is remembered when exiting the build menu, so if you enabled it before it will stay enabled when you reopen the build menu

To alleviate this for now, you can change the default behavior for "Hold to Snap Building" to "On" which makes it a Hold action instead of a Toggle you can change this by going into:

Options > Controls > Hold To Snap Building

This will make it so you have to hold R1/RB to move a building while snapping but it will also make it so Snapping is not active when entering a menu, so this might alleviate problems with this for the time being 🙂

[supple cove]

So uhhh... I posted a question last year, and I've experienced the same thing again yesterday, does anyone know why a save suddenly close application? First my 250 hour save, next a 80 hour save... I've tried to recreate the issue but with no luck

Mostly for context, I've tried to set up a mega bace in the dune desert, got to about phase three of the space elevator, using sloops to fast track myself to nuclear power on a non god mode save file (where I play with achievements in mind) I've done at least three factory resets on my xbox, uninstall and reinstall, but I'm still experiencing the same problems

I've deleted my 250 hour save as I could only run it for about 5 minutes before it crashes and the game self close application

[bright harbor]

Hello everyone, im rather new to this server and i would like to ask, if anyone had issues with conveyor belts on console lately ? A new update just dropped for console and i've been having problems with building my conveyors. When i sample a conveyor sometimes they don't want to snap to anything, the only fix i've found is to reload my save.

[robust crypt]

yes, the last update borked some things. apparently shuffling through build modes help

[bright harbor]

Oh nice thank you, i'll try that at home 👌

[lilac edge]

turning it off and back on again

[midnight ibex]

Im having issues with belts and pipes not connecting. I have to save and load my game just to connect a line. Hopefully I dont have to start ANOTHER playthrough because of belts.

[robust crypt]

read the last few comments. essentially its a new bug do to the latest update. cycling build modes apperently helps

[novel dock]

How to play with friends on ps5?

It say‘s to change this option connect to epic games? Where do i do that? Via browser?

I found out how.

[granite tendon]

options

QUESTION WHEN COMES MOUSE AND KEYBOARD ON CONSOLES

[quick verge]

Anybody’s crossplay joining not working? Cant join a friend (im on ps5) on xbox.

[remote roost]

Anyone’s game bugging out not letting them place conveyer belts?

[strong sedge]

Perhaps with 1.2

[tulip scaffold]

thank you omg. this kept happening and I was so confused, i saved and went to the main menu every time thinking it was a glitch🙃

[autumn mica]

Just had that issue had to re turn on snapping but no matter what was always yellow idk what going on

[ivory crow]

Have they fixed the milestones trophy yet?

[surreal lichen]

Yeah, that's what the most recent patch hoped to address: #satisfactory-consoles message

[robust crypt]

apperently clicking your hub will reward you with siad achievment

[fast mirage]

Yayy I'm about 30 minutes away from finishing phase 4 and my god what a journey it took 😅

U really do need to go around and find the node u really need and actually travel far for them

[tough pewter]

Bro I might die before I finish phase 5 lmao

[stray radish]

You just got there?

[tough pewter]

About to just waiting on pasta to finish up loading

Plus, its like my side game so

[fast mirage]

Finally at the end of phas 4
