I wanna see this in all its glory lol

[ivory crow]

Yay thank you, just got my platinum

[fast mirage]

I have a question the alien power augmenter how dose that exactly work?

[topaz basalt]

You build it, plug it in, and get free power.
500MW into base production, and then +10% extra per augmenter over that total base production.
So 10 coal generators for 750MW, 500MW from augmenter, for total of 1250MW base production, and you will have 1375MW power.
Or 10 coal generators for 750MW, 2x 500MW from two augmenters, for total of 1750MW base production, and then +20% on that for 2100MW power.

With very late tier option for item input for even more boost.

[fast mirage]

So I can make 10 for double the power I am already using as it will do 100%

[topaz basalt]

Yes, if you have the sloops, and don't want to use those for production doubling instead.

[fast mirage]

How many sloop are there?

[topaz basalt]

106

[fast mirage]

Each one takes 10 and that's not even including what's used on the technology tree

Yeah I don't think I will be making that many then 😅

Ok another quick question sorry

If I am making 100MW

And the first one gives me 50MW+10% so +10MW

Making my total 160MW

Dose the next machine work off the total I have now it just the 100MW?

If it works off the new total U could get some insaine power

[topaz basalt]

No, not exponential.
And it is 500MW extra free base power for each.
But those modifiers are calculated on that "base" without any of the +10%:s in it.

Which is why I included that two augmenters in the orignal message.

[fast mirage]

Ok I was gonna say U really could skyrocket that power if it did 🤣

Why dose the machine have an input on it then?

[topaz basalt]

.

[fast mirage]

Ohh sorry it's almost 8am and not slepted that's my fault

The alien power matrix right?

[bitter rain]

Just discovered this neat trick, using your jetpack to maintain contact between your head and the bottom of a conveyor belt can accelerate you lo great speeds, especially with higher tier conveyors, could be used for transportation?

[uncut helm]

Are the conveyor belts still bugged on Xbox?

[robust crypt]

Yes. Jumping then crouch to drop kick gains momentum as well. Then ziplines preserve momentum

[naive monolith]

the milestones trophy bug finally fixed on ps5

just logged in to my game, opened the hub and got 100%

[tulip scaffold]

@uncut helm this might help. it helped me

[supple cove]

Is anyone on xbox series S having similar issues when in the dune desert when the game self close application?

[fast mirage]

Man the rocket fuel and Ionized Fuel not much difference between them is it even worth the exstra Hassel for Ionized Fuel

[ruby ginkgo]

imho ionised Fuel not worth it

[fast mirage]

Getting to rocket fuel seems worth it but after that the difference is so small

[marble umbra]

What is that?

[robust crypt]

its a generator that takes a fuel derived from oil

[marble umbra]

Hmm ok interesting Ig I ain’t that far in I’m barely on phase 2

[robust crypt]

not far at all

[marble umbra]

Oh

[robust crypt]

you start phase 2 wiuth smart plating already being made so you are 45% of the wayt to the next phase

[marble umbra]

Oh

I may or may not have figured my power issue

[robust crypt]

first time coal users find it a pain, but it is a very useful lesson and the knowledge you gain from setting it up is valuable

[marble umbra]

Yea I’m a little confused with it but I’m trying to get it figured out it’s gonna take sometime tho FS

[robust crypt]

here is some help

I’m on console after my computer fully broke and am having a hard time doing my logistics for mid-late phase 3 on iOS any help?

[autumn mica]

Anyone got any trips on how to make train slopes blue?

[fast mirage]

Is there a way to change how to delete items as I feel like it takes forever to hold R2 and hold square on everything

Sorry I ment to say from inventory

[marble umbra]

You on Xbox or PS?

[marble umbra]

On Xbox hold RB then R2

Idk PS just Xbox

[fast mirage]

And that clears all inventory?

[marble umbra]

Oh you meant inventory

[fast mirage]

Yeah

[marble umbra]

Oops lol idk I just put it in a cargo thing and sink them

I call it my garbage pit lol

[fast mirage]

That would of took forever 😅 I was taking down a build that was fully automating all the way to the end of phase 4 going into stage 5 but the new building just won't work in what I have

So I stripped it all down and building it all back up again

[marble umbra]

Oh my

I’m barely phase 2 abt to automate my coal power then my phase 2 requirements

[fast mirage]

It took a while

[marble umbra]

I bet

[fast mirage]

A few tears was shed aswel bit like they usually say out with the old and in with the new

Oh and don't like this effect you on any way of future builds as I just built way to big early on and now having to bite the bullet because of it

[autumn mica]

Anyone know any good videos for a train ramp blueprint? When I do them they won’t link up

[fast mirage]

What's it saying?

[autumn mica]

Not saying anything just won’t connect and yes auto connect for blueprints is on

[fast mirage]

Hmm

Well there is this video I usually follow that has helped me alot

https://youtu.be/MGw8ngs--7o?si=36FdQ_ZlA8aXiObj

Hopefully U might find answers in there

[autumn mica]

That has ZERO to do with slops at all

[fast mirage]

Someone just talked about it in #370472939054956548

[uncut helm]

Thank you very very much!

[dire portal]

Got to phase 4. I cannot wait for nuclear power.

Can’t wait for my power grid to stop exploding whenever I turn on the microwave oven.

[gritty karma]

Make sure you do enough setup to sink plutonium fuel rods to start off your build up since to go all the way you need a lot of stuff if you want to try for something like ficsonium fuel

[dire portal]

Ahhh

[teal wasp]

Should I use only 1 drill for each product? Or should 2-ingredient recipes use 2 drills?

[wary chasm]

Can one train cargo thing hold 300 items or no

[noble violet]

it holds 32 stacks

doesnt matter how much of an item

32 stacks concrete, 32 stacks iron plates, ...

[peak sphinx]

Does anyone want to do coop on PlayStation

[steady barn]

Hey, does anyone know how to increase the text font size on the ps5 version of the game?

[small helm]

check your dm's

[marble umbra]

Who wants to do a co-op on Xbox with me ?

[frail sorrel]

I am on ps5

Des français ?

[marble umbra]

I’m sorry what lol

[frail sorrel]

I ask for french people

[marble umbra]

Ik im confused as to why

[frail sorrel]

But ps5 and xbox user can play together

[marble umbra]

Yea but idk how to do that lol

[frail sorrel]

Connect ur epic game account

And have the other guys in friend

[marble umbra]

Idk how to

[frail sorrel]

when u are in the satisfactory menu

U can connect ur account

[marble umbra]

Idk the log in

I forgot my log in

[fast mirage]

Is there a map that shows all the mining spot types?

Been trying to look for a good copper spot that has atlest 4-5 spots near each other

[ashen compass]

https://satisfactory-calculator.com/en/interactive-map

try this

[fast mirage]

Perfect thank you 😁

[fast mirage]

That map might need updating as I only deleted copper and it's showing iron locations but with a copper icon

Wait nm

[ashen compass]

idk about your situation but you might want to

• unselect all layer
• go to resource nodes tab
• select iron and copper

[marble umbra]

God I hate coal power

[robust crypt]

its rough the first time but its a solid lesson and what you learn now is key for later

[fast mirage]

That's what I did and it's all good now as there was iron near the copper and it confused me 😅

[wary chasm]

Oh okay cool thanks

Are most of uranium nodes inside caves

[rustic canyon]

I think theres 4 nodes, 2 are in caves

[main solstice]

actually 5

[pastel tusk]

Hey how do i fix the issue with the belts and such not connecting?

[robust crypt]

ive read "here" that toggling through the build modes help. Im pc so i havent tried

[pastel tusk]

Thx I will try

I know now what the issue is.
The belt and such are going into snapping but snapping doesn't work for belt and such for the first connection

[robust crypt]

im sure they are rushing to make a fix as this is kinda a big deal.

[pastel tusk]

Yeah same

[robust crypt]

honestly reversing the patch to fix achievements maybe better then the bugs its created

not getting a achievement is unfortunate but not experience breaking

[pastel tusk]

I agree. I don't care about achievements anyway

[wary chasm]

What area in the game has the most copper ore nodes

[robust crypt]

dune desert

[wary chasm]

Are you sure because all I see in the dune dessert is just iron ore nodes & a few copper nodes but more iron then copper and if it’s got the most copper is it enough for well I need around 12000 copper ore for making copper powder

[robust crypt]

i made all the iron and copper i needed for phase 4 and 5 when i did my 10/min for all phase five parts in the dunes

[robust crypt]

assuming mk3 miners at max overclock there is 9600 copper ore in the dune desert

using pure copper ingot recipe that gives you 24000 ingots a minute

there is more just outside of the dunes you can get as well

[wary chasm]

So I’m better of using the pure copper recipe and use refineries instead of smelters

[wary chasm]

What?

[robust crypt]

for the quanity you want. absolutley. Fluids are a pain and youll draw more power. You'll also hate refineries after. but its the greatest output

[robust crypt]

do you use satisfactory tools?

[wary chasm]

So I shouldn’t use it

[wary chasm]

Yeah all the time

[robust crypt]

#screenshots message

[robust crypt]

you should if you want the quanity you are asking for

[wary chasm]

Does the dune dessert have enough water for this or am I gonna have to transport water from idk the Gold Coast or swamp via train

[robust crypt]

ya, the enitre right side is water

#screenshots message

[wary chasm]

Oh so should build this nuclear pasta factory in like the very top of the dune desert or near the right side & should I make the output 20 per minute or 10 per minute

[robust crypt]

thats up to you. Personally when i did a stupid build i transported all the ingots to another facility built over water. in my case on the opposite side of the map near a nitrogen node. as i do not want to ship fluids

i was also challenging myself

[wary chasm]

Oh well I don’t want to challenge myself so what’s the best well spot to kinda build this nuclear pasta factory

[robust crypt]

youll have to figure that out based on what you already have and all the choices you've made to this point.

[wary chasm]

Oh damn well okay but I wanna know the dune dessert has 9600 copper ore if every node is overclocked with mk3 miners right?

[robust crypt]

correct

3 pure nodes = 3600

8 normal = 4800

4 impure = 1200

total 9600

[wary chasm]

Huh nice thanks

[robust crypt]

i have all this math in a spreadsheet. so its no bother

[wary chasm]

Is the flexible framework alternative recipe good or is the normal framework recipe better

[robust crypt]

which ever supportsthe resources you have. I often choose resources based on what i have available.

My latest current save has lots of quartz im not using so i am making silicon Circuit boards and Crystal computers.

[robust crypt]

so if you have lots of excess rubber go for it

[wary chasm]

Okay then

Hey are nuclear pasta magnetic field generator thermal propulsion rockets assembly director are all of these going to be needed to make any items in phase 5

[robust crypt]

Yes

Nuclear pasta is also the only phase part used in non phase items

[wary chasm]

Okay thanks

Should I make 20 nuclear pasta per minute or 10 nuclear pasta per minute

[robust crypt]

lol plan out your current phase and your next and make a decision. also deside if you want ||teleporters||

generally speaking us in the discord dont like making decisions for people. I personally will help gather information so you can make a informed decision but i wont tell you to do something.

[old turtle]

Planning my computer factory using caterium alts. Feel like going all the way through to super computers on a single deposit may be pushing it? Can get 1950 quick wire with pure caterium but will I go through that fast making no real impact?

[surreal lichen]

Planning for the future (of the sort "will x/min be enough for my future needs") is basically impossible to do unless you literally plan out the rest of your factories for the rest of the game

Just make whatever you need right now and then make more later; either that saves you work (no overproducing) or you'd end up having to do it anyway

Plus if you produce a resource in various places around the map there'll be more opportunities to play with interesting alt recipes and such

[old turtle]

True that. I think the short answer is no, by the time I get to the super computers I’d be producing 1/m if that which for personal use is fine but for further tech is not. So I think I’ll keep this to basic computing and elsewhere build a bigger dedicated supercomputer factory

[autumn mica]

Omg I hate LFGs on this server

[old turtle]

Yeah seems like it doesn’t do much, I don’t think many people really play this game multiplayer

[autumn mica]

It’s not even that it’s just for a game like this I just get freaking useless DUMB crap and then it pisses me off cuz it looks like I found someone when I didn’t. This is the 5th post iv made where some idiot just post hi JUST HI like it’s a lfg not gen chat wtf n then never replies or someone replies and goes I wish I could play but I’m on pc AGAIN NOT GEN CHAT no need to POs that like do you reply to every freaking fb post scroll. So then I hate to delete the post and reset every time this happens I’d rather have ZERO replies

[old turtle]

Yeah I saw that, I get the frustration. Seems to be a theme in the lfg which is confusing lol

[autumn mica]

Even had someone post in my lfg did you know Xbox has this to. Like I don’t get it maybe I’m just to old and grumpy but if I see a lfg and I’m not intestine matter how dumb it sounds I just carry on If I think they won’t find anyone I don’t tell them I just carry on it’s a lfg not gen chat. Iv even had someone msg me before and go hey I saw your post had 9 msgs so I was going to help you but I see your good.
Well when I looked at my post those 9 messages were someone commenting he wouldn’t join my world but I could join his and then others hopped in and go yo inv me to yours. Not only did I get post jacked but somehow it worked for him

[wary chasm]

I thought anyone in the discord could say like what’s the best this or that you know that kind of thing

[wary chasm]

There’s teleporters in satisfactory when & are they better then well any of traveling & I’m guessing they are very very expensive to make for even two

I’ve seen people that have like more then one pipe when extracting water for nuclear powerplant or just anything why is that

[grand minnow]

There is a limit to how much water one pipe can supply

[wary chasm]

Oh I thought it wouldn’t matter

[modern heart]

Nukes chug a lot of water

Frequently a full pipe (mk2) if fully overclocked

[wary chasm]

Oh so how many water extractors would I need for 30 reactors

[modern heart]

At max overcloxk for reactors and extractors, its 2 to 1 extractors per reactor

At base clock its also 2 to 1
If you only overclock the nuke its 5 to 1

So pick your poison.
Its somewhere around 60 or 150

[wary chasm]

I probably won’t overclock the reactors

[frail field]

me when pipes:

[robust crypt]

They are a thing. They are not worth it from a efficiency standpoint

[old turtle]

Is there any downside in overlocking fuel generators?

[earnest patrol]

the only downside is the cost of energy cells

[old turtle]

The slugs?

[earnest patrol]

yeah

[old turtle]

I can live with that then since power shards are so easy to get, I don’t feel like building 160 generators 😂

[lost crest]

Im in desperate need of a bp that holds more then 1 fuel generator in a mk 2 bp machine

[robust crypt]

You can hold four on a mk2 blueprinter

Put one on each corner (4total) inputs facing in so they are kissing (2sets of 2). Connect the kissing inputs with a pipe. Then put a junction on the pipe. Do the same for the second set.

Finally Connect the junctions

[lost crest]

ok let me try

thanks so much

[robust crypt]

Np.

[still lance]

Anyone available for some pointers on mic ?

[meager matrix]

Do som1 on console finished project assemble cuz it released like 5 month ago i think

[umbral flume]

Yes i finished the game 30 min after new year xD

[meager matrix]

Im playing on pc personally is it hard to play on console

Like is it a good port

[umbral flume]

Nah i think its pretty comfy

Controller implementation is pretty good

[meager matrix]

They did well

I though this gonna be hard cuz of the complexity of the game

[robust crypt]

Did your bp work out?

[outer egret]

The milestones trophy is working properly? I was on phase 4 when they "enabled", but was not working if u already have some milestone unlocked. Im one milestone to finish the game now and afraid of not getting the trophy

[umbral flume]

All trophies should work now. For me i just had to interact with the HUB terminal to make it pop

[marble umbra]

Should I get on yes or no?

[lost crest]

yes

[fast mirage]

So this is where U got the blueprints 😂

[lost crest]

Stfu

You weren’t helping

And I’m not going to YouTube

[fast mirage]

I mean U never asked lol

[marble umbra]

Who and why?

[robust crypt]

I get the impression he and Bigfoot are friends and they talk to each others like that.

I don't get it but i don't have to lol

[lost crest]

He is

[fast mirage]

Don't worry he is always mean to me so I am mean back it's a healthy friendship 😂

Also I have now come to a dilemma I never knew that the Mk6 belts was gonna be so thin and now it's kinda ruining the look that I was going for in the base 😂

Is there a way to change the cosmetic of the belts whiles keeping it's speed? 😅

[modern heart]

In vanilla? No

Thats the look you get and thats what you gotta make work

[wary chasm]

Okay then thank you

[umbral flume]

Hypertube cannons are efficient

[wary chasm]

I still don’t know how to make them go faster that’s the only issue I have with them also what is that emoji

[umbral flume]

Check YT for compact Hypertube design and make a blueprint ez pz. The old community manager giving a thumbs up

[wary chasm]

And you sure they didn’t like patch that method of the hyper tube cannon launching you very fast

[umbral flume]

I mean i used it all the time in my playthrough. You just need 2 junctions and a few accelerators and boom you can fly to the moon

[wary chasm]

Okay thanks

[wary chasm]

Why is it that if I need to transport fluids it isn’t recommended to use the fluid station

[robust crypt]

a regular freight car holds twice the units of packaged fluid

this also bypasses any possible fluid issues

[umbral cargo]

I've been toying with hypertubes. Seeing what I can make for travel without that doesn't have the stutter of the cannon.

So far I have a hyper jump. A vertical U shape that let's gravity do all the work. You get some significant height. Exiting out a junction on it will send you several hundred meter just from gravity.

My next experiment will be setting up a single acceleration gate and setting how far it throws me. Then the goal will be more U bends at the landing site to hopefully just keep sling shotting you along the path.

Ultimate goal being to first see if it's as fast as a dedicated line and second if I can create a network of jumps in a loop around the island instead of relying on being blasted all the way across. A little more control to break out along the route.

Goal being a power tower blueprint with the setup atop it so that it's easily powered and placed. Also hyper into a zip sounds fun lol

[wary chasm]

Oh okay thank

Is it a good idea to make two water extractors for one reactor & do that for each reactor instead of building a line of pipes & multiple water extractors connected to those separate pipes like those builds people make on YouTube & are in thumbnails I’ve probably did a bad job describing what I meant but hopefully you know what I’m referring to

[robust crypt]

That i cannot help with as I've never fuel reactor.

Ive only used rods for drones and trucks

[modern heart]

Multiple smaller, seperated pipe networks are prefered over big interconnected networks

[umbral cargo]

The trade off on tanker vs packaged off course being all the infrastructure to package and unpack it all.

I've considered the tanker cars to be more if a quick and dirty way if you are just looking to get some rolling while you set up the rest for bigger numbers

[robust crypt]

You also have to consider the shipping if the packaging. Are you just making new packaging everytime on packaging side then sinking the empty packages on the other end. Or are you shipping them back to be reused making it a closed loop system.

If you are shipping them back you are loosing that space effectively using the same space as just shipping the fluid via fluid cars

[umbral cargo]

Currently I'm sinking but have vague plans of packing something else in them to send on with a sink for overflow

[wary chasm]

Wouldnt using the uranium fuel rods as fuel for drones & trucks not be a good idea

[wary chasm]

So a tanker car is good if I wanna transport fluids from point a faster but have less fluids being transported?

[rustic canyon]

depends how you measure good

uranium rods as drone fuel works fine, but big drawback is you dont get any sweet sweet nuclear waste to make into plutonium. The little radioactive balls of doom flying overhead are a obvious win

[robust crypt]

Yaya,

[wary chasm]

But wait if you’ve never used nuclear reactors then what have you being using as your like big source of power @robust crypt

[robust crypt]

2tw of nitro rocket fuel

Endgame power is rocket fuel or nuclear.

I wholeheartedly believe nuclear is the better option from a resource perspective as the uranium goes essentially unused other wise.

But the same is true the other way. You need little nitrogen to beat the game and sulfer is 100% optional

Which rocket fuel uses large quantities of each

[wary chasm]

Tw is above gw right & what area have you built your rocket fuel generators at is it the crater

[robust crypt]

1000 MW = GW

1000GW = Tw

Yes blue crater has all you need for a solid tw of production with three alts

Heavy oil residue
Diluted fuel
And
Nitro rocket fuel

Eventually you'll have to tap the second nitrogen node to the east and bring in more surfer and coal.

[wary chasm]

Really tw in the blue crater damn I’m using that spot for my rocket fuel setup tho idk how many mw I’m getting but I don’t think it’s 1tw of power maybe idk

[robust crypt]

Tw = 1000000mw lol

[robust crypt]

Think like computer memory. Mb, gb, tb

[ancient tulip]

It's 36000MW per 600 fuel. Diluting the oil results in a ton of fuel. But you probably don't need to set up 3200 generators

[robust crypt]

For rocket fuel i find its best to clock your generators at 240% so it uses 10 rocket fuel a minute

[wary chasm]

1 million mw wow for 1 tw

[robust crypt]

Ive never used more the 500000 mw to beat the game mind you.

First time I think i did it with 60000mw.

[wary chasm]

Wow just wow & have you overclocked any of the generators & if you did was it all of them that u have placed or a few

[robust crypt]

For rocket fuel i over clock all of them. A optimized nitro rocket fuel setup makes 2400 rocket fuel from one 600min oil node plus other resources.

A fuel generator clocked at 240% uses 10min.

So thats 240 fuel generators per Pure oil node

Honestly most players will only ever need to use one pure oil node

[umbral flume]

love me metric system

[wary chasm]

Did you like automated power shards todo that overclock every generator to 240% clock speed

[robust crypt]

No,

I put my slugs through a constructor with a somersloop installed.

I am currently in phase 3 with 500 power shards

There is over 1000 slugs in the game. Purple ones give you ten when slooped

[wary chasm]

What? Are you serious

So would that kind of mean I can’t do that on my current playthrough because ive spend most the power slugs I find and just crafted them in a crafting bench to get power shards

[robust crypt]

Somehow I don't youve touched much of the 1000plus that can be found. Just start doing it now and you'll have a surplus in no time

[wary chasm]

Oh okay then

[robust crypt]

I like collecting at night. Its easier to see them and building during the night sucks anyways (im on pc so I have global illumination aka path tracing aka raytracing this makes night time darker)

[wary chasm]

Wait satisfactory has path tracing & ray tracing on pc

[robust crypt]

Yes sir

[wary chasm]

& it’s not a mod?

[robust crypt]

They use lumen the unreal version

No its a game feature. I play vanilla

[wary chasm]

So path tracing it’s not as good as games that need you to have an rtx gpu to run path tracing

[robust crypt]

Honestly its the only time I felt like pathtracing was worthwhile

I have it off on every other game

[wary chasm]

Really is it because it’s hard to run on other games

[robust crypt]

Path tracing is the technology

Raytracing is Nvidias way of doing path tracing.

Lumen is unreal version

Its hard on orher games because nvidia pays games to use there variant which only works with there gpus.

Lumen works on intel amd and nvidia

[wary chasm]

Doesnt stalker 2 use luman instead of hardware path tracing

[robust crypt]

Lumen is path tracing

Raytracing is path tracing too.

Its to ways to get pathtracing

[wary chasm]

I thought ray tracing & path tracing were two different lighting techniques

[robust crypt]

Path tracing is the goal. Raytrqcing is a way to get there

Its real time rendering of light paths. Path tracing

[wary chasm]

Oh okay I see

[robust crypt]

Anyways. Satisfactory has global illumination on pc and it works well

[wary chasm]

Is it as good as cyberpunks path tracing I know that doesnt have luman because it’s made on red engine not unreal engine 5 but is as good as that

Also for path tracing to even run on a pc wouldnt you need to have a high end gpu like a 4080 & above

[robust crypt]

Its good. It hard to compare as cyberpunk is garbage unless you are in a closed space.

Satisfactory tries to optimize for open spaces.

There is more noise. But honestly I dont notice it.

[wary chasm]

What does audio have todo with lighting?

[modern heart]

Not audio noise

Visual noise

Graininess, like TV static in a way

[naive umbra]

Like the old CRT tvs

[modern heart]

Maybe?

[robust crypt]

Visual noise. Sometimes you get spots around lightsources

[robust crypt]

im running amd 6000 series graphics many consider the worst implemintation of path tracing and i like how the game looks

#design-and-architecture message

[wary chasm]

AMD 6000 series what’s the nvidia equivalent to that those cards also wouldnt you need a high end nvidia gpu to run luman at well stable frames

[robust crypt]

My rx 6900xt was the same price as a rtx3070 ti.

Im a price point kind of guy so thats my comparison as they released around the same time

[ancient tulip]

You don't need to overclock gens until you basically can print power shards anyway. Get a few hunting but once you unlock tier 9 you can make 2000 in an hour and call it good

And if you don't want to tweak each to 240 and it's easier to do 250, you just use like 2395 fuel instead of 2400. And produce like 150MW less out of 144000

[robust crypt]

I just made a blueprint with 4 gens already overclocked. Set to blueprint mode while placing allows you to place 240 real quick

[ancient tulip]

How are you fitting 4 in with any space for a pipe without mk3 blueprint? Aren't they 20x20? Or are you placing them back to back with the connections outward

[robust crypt]

On a mk2 blueprinter. Place one in each corner inputs facing in so its kissing the one across. Look at this as two sets of two.

Link the kissing inputs with a pipe then place a junction on the pipe. Do the same for the other set. Finally connect the junctions

[ancient tulip]

Huh I guess I don't understand blueprints at all, I thought if I tried to go outside the box it wouldn't save. And stacking 2 20x20m buildings across a 40x40 would leave no space?

[robust crypt]

You are not going outside the blueprinter. It fits exactly

[naive umbra]

I have to build 756 fuel gens to utilize all the turbofuel i wana make. Hooboy.

[ancient tulip]

So you're saying
[G]-[G]
[G]-[G]

And junctions on each of those midpoints and a pipe across all of that. And there's no clipping?

[robust crypt]

No clupping

[naive umbra]

You want me to die.

[robust crypt]

Im on lunch so I can grab a screen shot for ya

[ancient tulip]

Yeah I assumed you had to point connections outward and just snap pipe to it with a separate print

-[G][G]-
-[G][G]-

Like this. Because when you print them next to each other, it does the same as yours but allows you to dictate the space between generator rows
-[G][G]- -[G][G]-
-[G][G]- -[G][G]-

Then you'd blueprint the pipe, but if it all fits in 1

[robust crypt]

1471201257715662848

[naive umbra]

303 gens total if i overclock the fuel gens.

[naive umbra]

Im gonna have some FUN building this thing-

#screenshots message

I extend the pipes to the edges and delete the pipe mount to make autoconnect easier

I didn't here but I tend to run a metal beam under each set then run power along it connecting all four on the bp. This way after placing and my pipes are ful I can quickly just link each set of four together

[ancient tulip]

Oh nice and this will connect blueprint to blueprint?

[robust crypt]

Not power but pipes yes.

[ancient tulip]

What power do you run? Is that a wall plug stuck to a beam?

[robust crypt]

Hence me connecting all four generators up on the bp machine. This way I can just chain each blueprint together quickly

[ancient tulip]

Hmm my generators aren't spaced right for this, but I can make my next setup whatever. Or use the space in a bp mk3

[robust crypt]

Yup. Most machines have a bend on the frame of the machine. I run it through there. It looks good

I did it on a mk2 blueprinter. One in each corner fits just right

[ancient tulip]

True

I haven't tried using power connectors meant for factory walls etc yet

They didn't want to snap to the floor and I was like... but floors have outlets. So Idk maybe I did it wrong

[robust crypt]

Ya the stick to walls, under and sides of foundations, metal beams, pillars and must the things in the architecture section.

You kind of fill a bag of tricks the more you play and utilize the ones you like or are needed

[ancient tulip]

Ah ok. Guess this will be my first bp. Other than this I haven't had a factory build that matched a previous so stamp smelter/constructor etc hasn't happened

But maybe I set one up with a manifold etc that is smelter->constructor as that's a fairly common start

[robust crypt]

im sure ill change how i play again but lately ive been doing smaller manifolds and nodes using bp'

[ancient tulip]

Can I make a blueprint after I set something up?

Like I set up a build and I go "I like this" can I just drag the bp model over it and copy it?

[modern heart]

No

[robust crypt]

for example.

this bp uses exactly

75 oil/min
150 nitro gen
200 sulfer
225 coal

and produces 300 rocket fuel
50 compacted coal ''

then i feed it into 30 fuel generators clocked at 240%

this is one node.

the full system is this 8 times which uses a total of one pure oil node at 250%

this allows me to shut down sections for troublshooting or build it over time.

#screenshots message

[modern heart]

Gotta rebuild it in the designer if you think this design is good enough to need it multiple times

[robust crypt]

I am starting to use this approach across the game especially everyrime fluids are involved.

[ancient tulip]

Are you blueprinting conveyers and floor holes underneath or you adjust that however

[robust crypt]

I tend to make blueprints save specific and factory specific.

My rotor, stator and motor factory is a tower each section has two constructors, one assembler and designed to be stacked vertically.

[modern heart]

I always do that manually unless i have a huge run of pipes / belts next to each other

In that case making a bp in 20 seconds for that isnt hars

[ancient tulip]

Okay, guess I try some of these out. I know the recycle plastic/rubber is a standard layout, etc

[robust crypt]

#math-and-meta message

[robust crypt]

tools help a lot

[ancient tulip]

Tools?

[robust crypt]

satisfactory tools pinned in #math-and-meta

[ancient tulip]

Oh I haven't had to use a planner for anything, I tend to build under max consumption for a given set of rss and then build additional side stuff branching off where I find it looks good

[robust crypt]

gotcha, im at the point where i plane everything in spreadsheers and note pads before turning on the game using toold to check my math

[ancient tulip]

I checked the planner, I feel it may lead down some bad paths, like it's recommending refineries raw producing plastic. Yes it'll get it done. But a rubber plastic fuel setup recycler is gonna be ideal.

But I do the planning in game. With what I call a "no connections build" and set up at stages .

So I lay the end product down. Say it's a manufacturer, then I trace back my desired builds. Each building would move back one row or stage . Then I align and compress it and decide if I. Like those recipe choices and how I want to route it/rotate it

Then I have a visual representation of my build in 1-2 minutes

[robust crypt]

The tools is a good as you configure it. You can tell it what recipes you have and what you want. Then it will spit out the best way to get parts per minute. Oruboros recycled plastic and recycled rubber is real.

@narrow pelican just set up a system for plastic he has to prime manually to turn on by hand feeding the system. Apparently its a b**** to turn off for troubleshooting lol

[robust crypt]

Solid way to do it

[ancient tulip]

The pc tools I find don't represent the scale

[robust crypt]

Everyone's experience is different. As long as you are having fun i say do it

[ancient tulip]

Knowing you need 12x foundry and 16smelter and 8.333 assembled, do you know how that lays out with arrows and boxes?

[robust crypt]

They dont. They just tell you raw numbers and quantity of machines at 100%

[ancient tulip]

Yeah for load balancing it's great

[robust crypt]

I think of the game in blueprint sizes. On a mark 1 blueprinter I know i can fit 4 constructors wide or three refineries or 2 assemblers one manufacturer. This lets me visualize my layout without ever laying a foundation because I use it as a reference point. Even if I dont use blueprints.

[ancient tulip]

That's a smart plan I'm not there with blueprints yet

I don't even use shortcut wheels lol

Open menu, muscle memory the item I want , build repeat

[robust crypt]

Im at 1000 hours in game and likely 2000 out of game. In another 400 im sure my perspective will shift again.

[robust crypt]

for insane builds follow this guy here #design-and-architecture message

[ancient tulip]

Ya I feel like I don't utilize logistics much. Movement is waste in manufacturing so typically you'd move finished goods and build on site to tier 2/3 etc

But there's no detriment to a 2km conveyer.

[robust crypt]

i try to move dense parts. in the low end this means steel ingots instead of screws. high end this means phas e4 parts to a phase 5 factory so i dont have to remake them

[ancient tulip]

That's pretty dope factory

I think I worry too much about building high tier finished goods, instead of a nicely designed singular task facility

My next plan is to do just that, along the north coast. Just oil in, products out. Find someway to ship them. Maybe a rooftop drone shipping service with a flotilla of refineries overlooking the ocean. And a hyper tube tour of the facility

[robust crypt]

Whatever gets you to your goal. Honestly making things look "nice" is a goal alone

[ancient tulip]

Beating the "phases" is simple enough, gotta up my cosmetic game.

[robust crypt]

Its a sandbox game. After you see the credits roll and get all your achievements all that is left is personal goals.

[ancient tulip]

How did that guy do glass floors?

Are those windows?

[robust crypt]

The frames pack in the awesome shop includes glass foundations. There is a glass material for roof tiles and there is glass walls

[ancient tulip]

Oh huh, I only had like concrete, asphalt and standard floors

I'll double check next time

[robust crypt]

The glass foundations are hidden in the frame unlock

[naive umbra]

Wait wha-?

[ancient tulip]

I've unlocked everything but statues and cassettes, so maybe I just haven't found it

Lowkey, I wish my 2km conveyors didnt work

I need more of a reason to use vehicles/trains/drones

[ornate forum]

Anyone having issues after the latest PS5 patch? Anyone else having issues connecting stuff to other stuff? Conveyor belts to splitters / mergers. Pipes to pipe junctions. I have to save and quit to the main menu and it'll work again but a few minutes later it'll act back up. Except this time I can't unpause it so I need to close the game all together

[robust crypt]

yes yes yes and yes.

for belts apparently switching through the build modes helps

[ornate forum]

I had to quit. Its too annoying. I'll come back in a few weeks. Its bascially unplayable

[ancient tulip]

All you have to do is hit snap on/off

Nothing about it requires closing out the game at all

[marble umbra]

After placing I think over a kilometer or two of belts I finally got self sustaining power so I shouldn’t run out of power again let’s go

[dull ore]

So i cant go.past the join game screen?? I just bought this game and i cant even play it

Any fixes?

[robust crypt]

did you try new game?

[dull ore]

Couldn't. Pressed joining screen and its stuck on a loading symbol it wont even pop.up my friends game. Restarted and everything just nothing.

[topaz basalt]

Question was if you can make local single-player game or not.
To diagnose if the issue is general to both local and network play, or just to network play.

[ancient tulip]

If your friend game doesn't show up, it's THEIR HOST SETTINGS. They have to specifically allow friend list players

And even then the host may need to restart if their game has stopped showing on the join list

Get a screenshot of their settings confirming friend join is on as well as relaunching the host then see if it still doesn't work

[dull ore]

False, my buddies was playing with each other off xbox with crossplay on, the game was just bugged and wouldn't load up the join screen.

[dull ore]

I can make a game, my friends cant join me and i cant join my friends

[wary chasm]

Are train signals only good or only purpose is if you have a train intersection that has like 4 paths or something & each path dedicated to one train

[robust crypt]

signals are used when you have more then one train sharing the infrustructure

the break the track into blocks if a train is in a block another train cannot and will not enter it. this prevents crashes

generally speaking you want to put all signals facing the same direction on the same side of the track. The signal side with two circles needs to face the oncoming train.

Block signals are used the most as they break the track into....blocks

at intersections where a rail splits or merges you put a path signal BEFORE the intersection and a block singnal after the intersection?
again all signals are viewing fromn the perspective of the train moving forward.

Path signals do more complex math checking all the other signals at the intersection before telling a train wether or not to go through

[wary chasm]

So they aren’t good if one track is clipping through another existing track

Can you sink non-fissile uranium & what should I do with the water it gives as a byproduct

[modern heart]

If multiple trains use those tracks, yes they are

Clipping tracks still allow trains to crash into each other

[wary chasm]

I get that but like I’m having trouble with the signals I’ve tried placing block signals & path signals on both tracks on two sides but the trains kept getting stopping

[modern heart]

Would need images

theres lots of things that can go wrong

[robust crypt]

make a post in #1038092680493801533 with as many details and pictures from different angles. and any additional info you can think of

[umbral cargo]

What are you playing on ?

[dull ore]

Ps5

[dull ore]

Forgot to reply, ps5

[umbral cargo]

Everyone has an epic account set up?

[umbral cargo]

It is possible to set up blocks that will lock trains because they have no way to pass each other. It might not be just the intersection but the rest of the track around it

[dull ore]

Its setup and logged in, my friends are added in it but its just bugged all to Hell

[umbral cargo]

Yeah. I haven't used myself but everything i see says occasionally it still breaks when going xbox to ps5.

[umbral cargo]

And everyone double checked privacy settings? Cross play enabled? Allowing others to see you etc?

[dull ore]

Yep

was able to end up joining them once but leaving game and trying to rejoin dont work. Even restarted playstation snd everything.

[umbral cargo]

Sorry if sounds basic but that has often been the issue when my kids play various games with their cousins. Finds out one of them has privacy set up wrong to allow them to connect

Ok I have seen there is a known rejoin bug

I would suggest looking into that. Looks like it involves hard resets and killing characters and a whole lotof other stuff to reconnect

[dull ore]

Understandable, i cant wait for my kids to get old enough for me to have to do stuff like that for them 😂

probably easier to wait for a hotfix id say

[umbral cargo]

Have you all tried to fully close the game and then fully restart all consoles to get the epic session to refresh?

[umbral cargo]

Unfortunately it sounds like it might be an issue with epic servers more than satisfactory. So who knows if when a hot fix will come

[dull ore]

Yes. Both parties. Nothing

[robust crypt]

Console multiplayer has had issues since day one

I hope they figure it out.

[slate fulcrum]

Ja bin auf console

[marble umbra]

They should add passenger cars for trains

[latent lion]

I think they should also add a driver's view in vehicles like trains or trucks

[marble umbra]

They should add like another type of vehicle the doesn’t destroy any food and greenery it should instead collect such things like a giant harvester yk

[latent lion]

I would really love it if they added a new island with new materials and consequently new vehicles like planes or boats to travel to the island and transport items from one island to another
That would be so much fun! I can already imagine myself building my airport for hours

[marble umbra]

I got it they can add a new material “GOLD”

[latent lion]

caterium is the gold of satisfactory

[surreal lichen]

I think Caterium was originally just gonna be "gold," but they thought that too many players would feel compelled to hoard the stuff or whatever so they made up a different name for it instead

[robust crypt]

i assumed the name was chosen so the abbr would be cat

well cat because felines

but also cat wire used for networking. Caterium in game is often used for AI limiters and high speed connectors and such

[surreal lichen]

Could be; I'd not ever heard anything about the rationale behind the name. :D

The original lore was that it was named after FICSIT CEO Caterina Parks, though I don't know whether the ore name or the person's name came first (and that is no longer true as of 1.0, anyway)

[umbral cargo]

Wiki says named after the ceo of ficsyt that has since been removed from the game Caterina parks.

Seems early concepts had us dealing with management more.

[surreal lichen]

Yeah, that was the original in-game lore; I more meant that I didn't know if there was some outside-game rationale

[umbral cargo]

But it's not exactly gold. Not every property matches up. Sorta a super gold

Dunno have not seen anything beyond that. Maybe because they changed the properties of it they didn't want to call it gold. Let them use it in ways gold couldn't?

[surreal lichen]

I'm pretty sure it was just the whole "not wanting players to think they should be hoarding it" thing

[dull ore]

Does the game have dedicated servers for consoles?

[foggy hare]

We need the ability to make white concrete on consoles again lol

[robust crypt]

i dont think so

[ancient tulip]

Uhh what properties are we talking about. I just put ore in, wire out

[umbral cargo]

Conductivity, corrosion resistance, malleable, etc

[ancient tulip]

They put those in game?

I mean its uses in game heavily imply conductivity and malleability . How else you making it into wire.

[blissful coral]

Can anyone help me, me and my friend are playing on ps5, we have 300+ hours and only now are having an issue where when my friend logs into my game he is stuck at a loading screen, he can rotate and sometimes move if i shoot him with a rebar gun but he cant see the game and eventually gets kicked back to the main menu, he can join other save files but not OUR world anyore, please help

Yes I posted in #1471670997777256508

But no one is answering

[ancient tulip]

Have you tried restarting at all? Is he in an area with an insane number of objects?

[blissful coral]

We have tried restarting and deleting/redownloading the game.

If he is in an area with lots of objects can I get him to spawn elsewhere?
Or do I need to delete the objects? (Our entire home based lol)

[topaz basalt]

Move the HUB somewhere away, then kill the other player when he/she is offline.

So on reconnect they respawn at the HUB, that isn't in middle of the factory.

[pastel tusk]

Nope sadly not

[bitter steppe]

anyone on xbox down to help me figure out coal power automation? im really new

[blissful coral]

Ill do that thank you for the help

[topaz basalt]

Still a game bug, host switches from "sync the game state to client" to "play" earlier than the client, and if there is too much to sync, the client never catches up and stays in that weird limbo or something like that.

Same issue on PC side.

[wary chasm]

Hey guys I wanna know once I get to phase 5 should I make fisconium fuel rods

[topaz basalt]

Depends on how much you like complexity and megaprojects.

[wary chasm]

That’s it really oh well I don’t want things to be very complex and when ever I try making some what of a mega project in satisfactory I fail

[topaz basalt]

Then probably better to stay completely away from nuclear power, or stop at using uranium and reprocessing and sinking plutonium.

[wary chasm]

Oh I’m already doing that I’m making 6 uranium fuel rods per minute and I’m powering 28 reactors with the uranium fuel rods now I don’t really know how much plutonium fuel rods I can make not to burn them just to sink them

[wary chasm]

I’m on ps5 but idk if it’s normal of the game to keep dropping my frames from 120fps to 48fps everytime I go to my nuclear factory or just any factory I have built

[robust crypt]

I play pc. But I want to say this is normal. The ps5 is or was a midrange pc.

My mid range right has similar issues

[vestal torrent]

Play on performance

Not gonna improve much, but there is less fps drops

[blissful coral]

Unfortuantly switching from "sync the game state to client" isnt an option on console from what I can find 🙁

[topaz basalt]

That wasn't about any option, just about how the MP join works and bug in the final stages that trips in certain cases with large factory around the connecting clients old body.

Where the bypass to that bug is to move the hub to place with less things going on around it, and killing the old body, so the player respawns at the hub.

[blissful coral]

Does it matter if host is near the items when other player tries to join?

[topaz basalt]

When client connects:
1: You first get the basic connection setup.
2: Then the server sends over the "static" stuff around the body (machines and their positions etc.)
3: Then it sends the "dynamic" state of that stuff (what those machines, belts etc. are doing right that instant).
4: And then it switches to upkeep mode and normal gameplay.

And there is a bug that causes in cases that process to get stuck between that step 3 and step 4.
With server already switched the logic to that step 4, client being stuck in almost finished step 3 or like, but still allowing for inputs to be sent to the server, but staying in the loading screen.

That happens when there are too many constant dynamic updates needed in the near sphere (about 100m diameter sphere around the body AFAIK) of the connecting player.

[blissful coral]

Omg thats wild that its that complicated.

I moved the 2nd player and hub to desert with NOTHING and they were able to join.

I assume the devs are hopefully aware of this?!?

Thank you for your help by the way 🙏

[plain reef]

Hello folks. Does anyone happen to know if there are any plans to implement transferring blueprints between saves on console? (I'm not necessarily talking about downloading blueprints online but that could be nice too.) I'm specifically talking about just moving local blueprints from one save to the other.

[wary chasm]

Ur having the same issue even on pc?

[wary chasm]

Okay I did that I’m on performance mode & it worked I’m not getting that many fps drops thanks

[vestal torrent]

You're welcome. In my experience fps drops shouldnt happen on performance unless you build mega massive project

[robust crypt]

On a mid range pc. Its target to perform as well as a ps5. Its for a friend who couldn't afford a ps5.

My personal pc has no issues at all

[wary chasm]

Oh I’m assuming your own pc is high end?

[robust crypt]

Yes, I have a high end pc and a mid range lap top and a NAS for personal use.

I run servers off my nas

[plain reef]

?

[umbral cargo]

Not currently. Heard it asked about on the recent live stream but nothing currently for it

[lilac edge]

tl:dr; console drive is like [redacted], gotta be super careful about downloading stuff. one wrong move and your console gets bricked.

reusing blueprints from an existing save is gonna be more feasible than downloading ones though, so there's hope there

[uneven jolt]

Okay i have a big problem.
The Ballistic Warp Drive factory im doing needs 10,732 ingots. And I was going to bring them by train but I realized I can't send them out like I need to.

Should I just make a freighter car for each line?

Example I need 7,888 ingots to the Iron Pipe constructors. Should I just make a train of 7 cars so I can hit each line?

[wary chasm]

Whats a nas?

[robust crypt]

Network attatched Storage

[wary chasm]

Huh okay so it’s like an extra storage for your pc?

[robust crypt]

its a computer running light weight System specifically to hold Data used over my home network. So i can access the data from any device.

[surreal lichen]

For your PC and/or any other device on your local network

[robust crypt]

[wary chasm]

Oh okay cool

Hey once I get to phase 5 is the Sam ore going to be very important

[robust crypt]

it can be

youll want it for ||mk6 belts||

[surreal lichen]

It can be important long before that point, too (get to researchin' in your MAM!). Though it does start getting used as a part of more production lines in P5, yes.

[wary chasm]

I’m assuming the sam ores are located in places that are hard to go to like inside a cave or in cliffs and most of the Sam ore nodes are impure

[surreal lichen]

They're mostly in pretty out-of-the-way places, yeah, though a few of them aren't too difficult to get to

[wary chasm]

Okay then

[surreal lichen]

It's mostly a question of just finding/noticing them. Once you spy where one is, getting there isn't generally a problem.

You've always got foundations/ramps, if nothing else (and you've probably got ladders/catwalks/etc as well)

[wary chasm]

I do have those but ive been always using my jet back for traveling outside of places that don’t have well power

[umbral cargo]

Longer trains move slower or need extra engines making even longer. Might be easier to run more trains for more frequent shipments

[uneven jolt]

Valid point

I might do that for the Ballistic Warp factory since its 10k+ ingots

[umbral cargo]

How many main lines do you think you will need? You may want to think of a compressor set up to ensure a few lines are always maxed

[uneven jolt]

What do you mean compressor?

[umbral cargo]

Basically it's a series of priority mergers and smart splitters to condense everything from say 5 lines that have varying accounts in them and shifts them to fill as many lines as possible

[uneven jolt]

Hmm interesting

[umbral cargo]

This is a vertical one I built. Pushes everything towards the bottom belts.

So i can have a bus running and split off the bottom belt or 3 and know they will be at capacity. Then I can build amother after i split of some so the bottom becomes full again. I also feed in new lines into the top sections and they filter down again

[uneven jolt]

If i make a train w/ 3 locomotives, do I need 3 train stations? Or just one station and two empty ones?

[umbral cargo]

Hmm can't link a picture here

[uneven jolt]

Tag me in screenshots

Holy crap thats intense

[umbral cargo]

Crazier at the horizontal ones

But basically if you see a merger there is a smart spilt above it

All priority is set to the center
And every smart is overflow center and any into the lift.

So if there is room it will send it down a belt and if not it goes forwards

But you can invert it all to if you rather if fill up the top row. Or build one's that are horizontal. I saw one that was like 20 something belts wide. It was massive

[uneven jolt]

Okay let me see if im following this

You have a line with mergers, priority mergers and smart splitters. The idea is to condense everything from 5 belts into 1

The smart splitters are set to overflow into lifts to the next level in the set up if they hit overflow, if not the keep moving down the line

Am I good so far @umbral cargo?

[umbral cargo]

No regular mergers

You overflow to center so it continues down the belt unless there in room below. Set any to the lift side

If you look at my picture the bottom row those 3 are all priority mergers .

Then above each is a smart splitter. In between each is a priority mergers.

So you keep going up like that in a triangle

Make sense or should I label for you?

[uneven jolt]

Can you label it? Please?

[umbral cargo]

Found the original i built off

Sorry for wrong numbers earlier going from memory.

So belt 1 is the bottom in mine
A is any. O is overflow. Ch is highest priority

[uneven jolt]

Okay I see it now. Its clicking

[umbral cargo]

You can just add another smart splitter on 5 and have it go straight otherwise 5 could back up

[uneven jolt]

This would work best if its like you need 1200 ore or ingots and you have 600, 150, 300, 150. Gradually and smoothly merge them all together to get to 1200

Probably a terrible example but I get the concept

[umbral cargo]

I basically am slowly building a bus around the map in a giant loop.

So if a build along the way needs iron I send a line. If it gets low or I get near iron ore I convert to ore and feed it in.

It's a great injection manifold too

But I really have to start draining resources to worry about the bottom 2 belts not being full

Crazy goal is also to set this loop up running all ingots types

[uneven jolt]

That would be wild

[umbral cargo]

I figure i just need to include the belts in a train set up. Or design soothing i can attach to my existing rail

Probably the later

And it's consistent with those people. Yet, sometimes, if we both join a different players hosted game and I don't get the error, we can play fine, it's just joining each others worlds it errors

What recipe for making diamonds is the most efficient or that doesnt cost that much

[surreal lichen]

All depends on what resources your value over others. The only one I'm personally not super fond of the petro coke one (and that could just be down to opportunity), but I've used basically all the others

[frank fractal]

Did you get an invite or try to join the game through the menu and has the host got thier game set to open for friends or invites?

[mighty belfry]

He's playing with other people and I can join some people's games but not others 😅 so I don't know what it could be

[wary chasm]

Um what about the turbo diamonds alt recipe the one that takes packaged turbo fuel

[umbral cargo]

I was trying to help someone the other night with similar. I came across there is apparently an issue with rejoining and it sounds like it's the epic servers used for multilayer for consoles.
Were you able to join them once and now can't get back in?

[surreal lichen]

Turbo Diamonds is A+. Situational like all the rest, of course; if you're not already making turbofuel nearby then there's a lot of setup

Depends on how you're feeling about relative resource value, of course, but I believe by some measures it's the most resource-efficient one

I seem to think that sftools ends up landing on it, in the absence of other criteria

(not that that's an objective measure of worth, of course. But as usual, all recipes are at least situationally useful)

[stiff prism]

persone italine ci sono qui

(Oh, and I do find it a bit strange that Turbo Diamonds requires packaged turbofuel, but eh. Just means it requires a little bit of plastic/steel/whatever)

I am so pissed off. I just bought Satisfactory for the PS5 and couldn't find how tp connect to my dedicated server and come to find out they screwed us! They don't allow it at all!! The single best feature of the game and they had to ruin it. I will be getting a refund ASAP.

[wary chasm]

Oh I already I’m making rocket fuel near by maybe to much then needed

[rugged forge]

Does conveyor belt mk6 stable for full speed on console?

[strong sedge]

Would be nice if they make the Lod for the belts higher then 100m on consoles ..

[wary chasm]

Can you sink dark matter residue & excited photonic matter

[surreal lichen]

Nope (nor can you sink anything else that's carried via pipes)

For EPM, it's trivial to just make exactly as much as you need. I tend to just have one for each QC, underclocked to provide the exact rate required

For DMR, managing that is the central "new" thing in Phase 5; gotta get it converted into Dark Matter Crystals, which you'll then use in the production (potentially sinking the excess)

[wary chasm]

Okay thanks

[blissful sail]

of all the byproduct fluids I found dmr the easiest to manage so it shouldn't be a problem

[wary chasm]

How though it’s fluid so won’t it like overflow or stop production of other items I am struggle to deal with the water byproduct from the aluminium scrap recipe it keeps stopping production

[blissful sail]

I believe it's considered a gas, but for the most part, especially with the dark matter crystallization alt recipe you will actually need more than the byproducts offer, but that's my experience

as long as you incorporate the DMR into whatever needs dark matter crystals, you'll be fine

[wary chasm]

Are ballistic warp drives the most Complex item to craft in the game

[robust crypt]

maybe?

it depends on opinion. I find ficsoniun more complex

[surreal lichen]

Correct; if you don't process the DMR properly it could cause production lines to seize up in the same way

The water byproduct from aluminum is (IMO) best dealt with by keeping the recycled water totally separate from the fresh water. Can loop it back to the earlier step in the process, but use a totally different set of machines for it (and presumably underclocking/overclocking as needed so that the numbers line up)

The game does kind of expect you to have a handle in dealing with fluid byproducts by Phase 5; you'll have had plenty of opportunities by that point. :)

Though IMO the DMR/DMC cycle is probably a bit simpler than aluminum water handling, since there's an implicit convert-to-solid step in there

[last basin]

Anyone else having stability/ connection issues in multiplayer?

[rugged forge]

I use () to bypass xbox filtering. Like (Pump)

I don't know, why xbox censor "Pump".

Got the platinum after playing for 35 days split between 176 hours for an average of 5 hours per day 💀

Longest session being 12 hours

[sand mural]

Congrats im trying to do rdr2 currently its very painful

[fast mirage]

In all fairness I just use a packager and just package the water and shove it into a sink it might slow down plastic production but U can just make more plastic and rubber at the same time

[fast mirage]

Hey congratulations 🎉🎉

[uneven jolt]

Question:
If im moving 1200 ores per min, but the refinery only takes 37.5 per min, do I need to have mk 6 lifts? Or do I just need the belts at mk 6?

[robust crypt]

Assuming the lifts feed the machines and the lifts are fed by mk6 belts. Any lift tier will do

[uneven jolt]

Okay. Thanks

[rugged forge]

I'm using the suitable belt tier for aesthetic purpose. Just the see the item moving.

[umbral cargo]

On that feeling when you were running numbers to make turbo fuel. But then somehow neglected to precheck how many generators you would need to use it. And then realizing that number is 72

After you have built everything else and now have to fit them in

[ancient tulip]

Go verticalish...

[umbral cargo]

Oh I did the whole build is double decker. It's still having the resources on hand to build and pipe that many

[meager matrix]

Guys console will get keyboard+mouse support

So console players gonna have the same adventages as pc

[wary chasm]

But what if in where I’m building my aluminium production there isnt oil near by

[fast mirage]

Then I would suggest building where there is 😅

[wary chasm]

K

[fast mirage]

There is a spot left side of the map with a big water area for plenty of building and a perfect spot to grab oil from

[ancient tulip]

Which is? I haven't had any issues on controller.

[uneven jolt]

Bro im doing research and apparently any save after 250+ hours is a gamble for it to crash

[meager matrix]

Theres alottttt of control for a controler can handle

[wary chasm]

Do singularity cells give the most points if you sink them

[blazing sage]

Ballistic Warp Drives give the most at over 2mil points

2,895,334 points

A singularity cell gives 114,675

[weary sand]

I have a big – or maybe small – problem.

I was really excited that the game is finally verified for Steam Deck, so I installed it right away and wanted to jump in immediately.

Unfortunately, I can’t get past the start screen. A dialog pops up right away that needs to be confirmed, but no matter what I try – touchscreen, Steam Deck controls, or even my PS5 controller – I can’t click or confirm it. I’m basically stuck there and have to force close the game.

It’s pretty frustrating.

Does anyone know what I can do? Do I maybe need to connect a mouse and keyboard, or is there another workaround?

[robust crypt]

How much is ficsonium

[modern heart]

less

Weird... wiki says Ficsonium rods cant be sunk

[robust crypt]

Not suprised tbh

[topaz basalt]

Wrong channel, this is for consoles.
But you need to set the SteamDeck input settings for the game to work as controller, not keyboard & mouse emulation.

Or whatever the current default is.

[elder goblet]

hey i have a question, im new to the game and after quite a few hours i found the world grid but i already rebuild a lot of stuff and now my base is not aligned with the world grid. but i heard the worldgrid is made after my structures, i guess after the ones i deleted by now. is there any way to reset the world grid basically so it is aligned with my main factory?

[storm berry]

Yo guys should i get the Game?

[valid smelt]

I say yes because its something that's fun to do when you have free time. It also makes you use math if you want perfect flow of materials.

[storm berry]

K thanks for the reply

[topaz basalt]

No, the world grid is tied to the map coordinates.

[meager matrix]

Definitly

Its the best shit ive ever seen

[elder goblet]

oh ok, something i found on google said its alighned to the first foundation. hmm thanks so i guess i have to live with it or rebuild...

[meager matrix]

U have to rebuild everything if ur early game anyways

[elder goblet]

yeah but i already build a massive foundation now. although it would probably still early game i guess. not sure how far this game goes

[meager matrix]

About 120h for 1 playthrough

Without all the achievments

[elder goblet]

how important is it to build in the world grid? with trains or whatever comes later, is it important to be aligned to the grid?

[modern heart]

no its never important

it only matters for aesthetics

[lyric lake]

For a console player on their first world. Which is the best way to make a turbo fuel farm, I have pipes two unlocked aswell and industrial liquid holders, I also have all the power slugs you could dream of

[robust crypt]

same as pc Likely want Heavy oil residue and Diluited packaged fuel ( or diluted fuel if you have blenders)

If you have blenders i suggest skipping turbo and go for nitro rocket fuuel

[wraith edge]

can you still use a manifold set up if one of the buildings in underclocked

[coral lion]

Yeah, I don't see why not, you will have to account for the changed numbers though.

[umbral cargo]

You can have all of them under clocked if you like. You might have 3 buildings produce something at 40 per minute when 100% but you could also have 4 buildings all at 75% so that 40 becomes 30 /min.

And why build 4? Maybe you have blueprint and it's faster just to use 4. Or you are close to being able to upgrade so you might as well prepare a little.

[shell basin]

gents im officially at the point where i can slowly delete my starter base. dedicated factories around it that take up the roles of the mini factories in it, and mercer boxes for all the materials somewhere along the assemmbly line instead of dedicated mercer factories.

feels good. now to build around it

Im on xbox btw

[muted torrent]

Heyo team! As you can see above, we're gonna start using polls on Discord to see if we can gauge changes in the game's state. With the expanding number of players in general, and across multiple platforms now, it's getting trickier to pick out details in feedback or cut through noise, so this is a little experiment

[vocal iron]

Tbh, idk, i havnt played with anyone

[ancient tulip]

Uhh what do I answer if I started after ficsmas but still sometimes have issues joining my friend unless we rehost.

[muted torrent]

Nothing, tracking comparisons between FICSMAS and now specifically

would u only add IF you play on console not on PC and same in General chanel?

meant in #satisfactory chanel

[vernal rover]

My PlayStation gets hot when I play Satisfactory. I don't know if that's due to your game or my console.

Me and my friend are both on PS5 and we have been unable to connect for days, we connected once after hours of trying but the game crashed after a few hours.

No matter what I try he cant join, and when he does it have no idea why it works

[blissful coral]

This game is amazing but this multiplayer connection issue has taken my enjoyment from a 9/10 to a solid 3/10

[ancient tulip]

Could be due to epic login as well as server settings

Saving and restarting is a good fix

[regal viper]

Anyone know how to fix the crossplay issue where me (ps5) can't join my friend on Xbox even though I got him added

[split tapir]

When will we be able to to make concrete pillars fully white like you can on pc

[blissful coral]

Tried logging in and logging out, turning on and turning off.
So many join issues.

Great single player game, crap co-op game

[meager matrix]

Only on console

On pc it work well

[blissful coral]

Yeah, thats why im in the console channel

[ancient tulip]

Have you had the host relog and check invite settings

Have they relogged their epic account

Are you on the same version and system update

[floral pollen]

Hello folks, We have just released a patch just now for both Consoles, To confirm you have it you can check at the bottom left of your main title screen and look for: "Version: 1.1.2.1 CL#473716"

This patch addresses the Snapping behavior change from the last patch, (Aka "Cannot snap belts/pipes) so if you used the previously mentioned workaround, now it should be fine to go back and use Toggle instead of Hold again

Now each time you open the build menu, The last used Snapping state is not remembered, so you won't run into scenarios where certain buildables cannot be built

This patch also solves a few other bugs with inconsistencies related to Nudging

Hopefully this makes the experience more enjoyable for everyone 🙂

See you all around ❤️

[trail lantern]

i was about to ask what the update did

[slender marsh]

Crossplay still not working?

[blissful coral]

Yup we tried it all and none of it worked.

Finally got them to join after deleting most of what I had placed which in phase 5 was ALOT once they joined we both bought the Nut and launched the ship, done and never going back unless theres a patch and DLC

Would have been a 10/10 if it wasnt for the inconsistency in co-op.

Great game though.

[mighty belfry]

I'm noticing after maybe 30 mins I have to reload the game and rejoin the lobby with my friend too. Since the update it seems that connection to epic is buggy

Idk Just speculation

[late wyvern]

Good stuff! Does the patch also adress any issues regarding (auto)save crashes, or is that still under investigation?

[somber osprey]

I will more Items, ressource and any more ❤️

[sonic pike]

Can someone help me with a Multiplayer problem?
I played with my friend for Like 1,5h and them I started langging and now iam unable to move. We have both tried restarting our ps5‘s, logging in and out (epic and normal game), but nothing works. The Host is completly fine and his Internet ist good aswell but I am never able to move no matter what

[ancient tulip]

Did you do anything weird like throw stuff into the void, etc

[vagrant abyss]

Guys is it normal that neither the date nor number matches the patchnotes. I got a random update today, but its 1.1.10

[warm linden]

I was just about to ask about this. Is there any official source documenting console patch notes? The biggest change I've noticed with this patch is that the default build mode for beams is no longer locked flat to the ground, and will now completely follow the angle it is placed on. That's pretty significant for detail builders, and I'd have liked to know about it before randomly discovering it today

oh my god ignore me I should have just scrolled up 😭

though this specific behavior wasn't noted so maybe it was unintentional? 乁⁠[⁠ᓀ⁠˵⁠▾⁠˵⁠ᓂ⁠]⁠ㄏ

[wary chasm]

Hey what recipe for fused frames is the most efficient

[surreal lichen]

As with all alt recipe questions like that: there's no right answer to the generalized question. If you constrain it further ("I want to use as little aluminum as possible" or "I want to use as little Nitrogen as possible" or "I want to have the simplest factory layout" or so on) then there may very well be an answer. But there's basically never a "most efficient" on its own. The word "efficient" is kind of meaningless unless you constrain it to exactly what you mean

https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production is a great site to compare resource usage for various recipe chains; plug in your target production and start playing around in the Recipes tab. Note that overall resource usage is dependent on the whole recipe chain, not just the end recipe (which is one more reason why you can't just say that one recipe is better than the other -- synergies may appear when you combine various recipes together)

[wary chasm]

Okay well I wanna make fused frames but I want that to be as simple as possible

[surreal lichen]

Well, as I say, start playing around with sftools. :)

Many alt recipes which save on resource usage also introduce a lot of complexity. The most oil-efficient petrochem setup (plastic+rubber) for instance is IMO one of the most complex factory setups in the game

Even much earlier in the game, for instance, nearly everyone ends up highly recommending Solid Steel Ingot when doing steel (on account of its resource savings) but doing so does increase factory complexity. So "as simple as possible" would probably have you going back to the vanilla Steel Ingot recipe instead

[wary chasm]

Oh okay then

[surreal lichen]

By default, btw, sftools will be solving for least-resource-usage, based on some hardcoded "weights" for each of the resources. So if you're prioritizing simplicity you'll want to be on the lookout for recipes which seem to be adding more complexity to the build and disable those on the Recipes tab

[fringe fiber]

Where does one report bugs for console?

Is it the same place as pc? Most cross platform devs have separate systems which is why I’m asking

[robust crypt]

I think so.

There is a bug poll active here as well pinned to this channel.

But it is bug specific. Made by the dev team.

[fringe fiber]

Yeah it’s for the nudging, I’ll check out the website, thank you!

[umbral cargo]

You’d need a smart splitter for that. The first splitter just splits the input to the output it doesn’t filter, but the more advanced splitters do have filters

Best way to make curves on console?

[surreal lichen]

Some frequently-linked-to videos about building curves:

Wan 3.0: https://youtu.be/8Jxfy2_Iw6U
Wan Curve: https://youtu.be/i5qnl0PzkXE
Any-size Circles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XI3ZM4Zzhqs
KyloBuilds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLwyyYpe0c4
Foundations following rails: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9V0fQPq3Xo

I believe those are all vanilla (ie: no mods). The specific controls they mention are doubtless gonna be the PC controls, but console/controller would have equivalents

[rustic jackal]

Kinda wish greenhouses were a thing. Liquid biofuel seems so underused, even if its just for drones

[drowsy yew]

3000 hours in and I didn't know liquid biofuel was a thing

[runic imp]

Is it possible to do the tiny nudge rotation on console? Always turns 45° for me

[rustic jackal]

Thats what I mean. And honestly, growing local flora and the using it to expand the exploitation of the planet would fit in so well with the game

[surreal lichen]

On PC you have to hold down Ctrl, which gives you 15° increments instead. As I say, I'm pretty sure there's a controller equivalent, though I don't know offhand what that is

[runic imp]

Ill scroll through the controls, thanks

[frank fractal]

Im not 100% of the streaming part but its not on ps plus.

So id guess you need two ps5's one to stream to your portal (which is possible) and another for your partner to play on the tv with thier profile.

I thought the streaming direct to the portal without the ps5 being on was down to either specific games or they need to be on ps+

[stoic bear]

No. I wont tell but ill be straight. I was gonna buy it from G2A but its not even good for the devs so i did what some devs even tell you. You get me? Anyway. It was like at the first josh video. It didnt run and i later tried it on EGS and it work... about when he fixed his framekilling conveyor coocon

[delicate plinth]

They added being able to play streamable games on the Portal before Xmas 2025 without needing a PS5 tethered. This helped with people who wanted to play on the go. It has a wide range of streaming games and almost all of my catalog is included. There's a handful that I've looked up to be told that the developer themselves basically has to allow it. Maybe eventually if it gets added to PS Plus, then it would also get the streaming aspect.

[vale silo]

ah josh , the legendary WTFer ..

[stoic bear]

They shouldve made The PS Portal with 5G (and call it PSP 2? Idk)

[stoic bear]

Yeah i usually play games when he plays and just do the same but he always make chaos

Okay I’ll stick to making plutonium fuel rods & sinking them and just using uranium as my main way of getting power

[robust crypt]

Power your trucks with plutonium. Get that sweet 166 minutes of gogo time per rod

[wary chasm]

Really okay?

Should I make 5 alien power matrix per minute or 10 per minute

[robust crypt]

Thats some end game shenanigans that is a personal choice.

[gritty karma]

Unless you're making a crazy amount of power shards, superposition oscillators and sam flux I personally wouldn't even worry about the matrixes since just having the machine for this is net positive on power

I personally would say focus more on fuel generators or more uranium reactors if your gonna sink plutonium rods there @wary chasm since more overall generation you have more the Alien Power Augmenter is worth

[radiant leaf]

Hi everyone,

I am Xbox X series player and I am having issue with saving the game since my factory grow a bit. It will not give you info about fail but save (both automatic and manual) will not be there.

Only solition I found was to remove some objects. It allowed me to continue to build but I had to switch between removing and building. I think I reach a point where I would not like to remove anything else and I am stucked now.

Any chances it will be fixed in next patch?

I saw that many people encounter this issue and so far no solution has been found. It is preventing me now to finish the game, unless I will just start over, and not use any architecture, just as plain factory as it can be.

I would not imagine as well that I have builded more than people you can see on youtube via PC version, so I think this is very xbox related issue, however I saw some posts from PS users experiancing the same

If anyone was able to find a fix other than just removing significant portion of your buildings please let me know

[robust crypt]

If you were on pc id say you likely hit the 2million object limit. But I have no idea what the limit is on console nor if that is even your issue

[radiant leaf]

I do not belive I am anywhere near that number, but I saw some comment that is 1/4 of it on xbox? Not sure however how confirmed that information was...

Is there a way to check current object number on xbox? Any access to game console and commands?

[robust crypt]

I have no clue what's so ever.

I thin your best bet is #1038092680493801533 ppl lurk there just waiting to help

[lyric moss]

Hi folks I'm a total noob on the game and play on xbox and I'm not able to use the resource scanner. It's controller bound to "up" on the d-pad but I can't seem to get it to work. The very first time I played (yesterday) the "quick"? Scan worked but I couldn't hold it down to get any selection. Today even the quick scan won't work. I thought I could bind it to something else but I don't think thats doable on xbox either. Any thoughts? TIA

[ancient tulip]

I forget which shoulder or trigger button brings up the menu, you need to select what to scan first

[lyric moss]

So what I've read was a long hold is what brings up the radial menu but even the quick press hasnt brought up a immediate scan.

[ruby ginkgo]

Been there and couldn't find any solution. Eventually save files corrupted.

[lyric moss]

Any work around you know of? I'm only about 20 hrs in but I'd hate to start over to have it happen again.

[ruby ginkgo]

Nothing, searched a lot, lost of console users suffering because of the same problem and so far no help from company.
Because of the same reason, I dragging my feet to start over. what's the point.

[lyric moss]

Yeah, looked like they actually got rid of controller support on Steam. That can't bode well for console players. I'm running around trying to find resources and marking them on the map with a rock icon.

[robust crypt]

Im not a expert but as far as I know the console port is handled by a third party. Hopefully help is in the works even though there's crickets

[lyric moss]

So I just did a "continue" and it picked up the save correctly. But the funny thing is when I went to save the file it wasn't listed (just auto-saves) to overwrite. I retyped it and it asked me if I wanted to overwrite it. I found that odd.

[ruby ginkgo]

I lost my whole save, approx 1000 hours 🙁

[lyric moss]

Wow, thats awful. I'm not sure what to do now. I just came from Astroneer which is an absolute Gem of a light factory sim type game. I just couldn't figure out anything left to do so I came here.

[ruby ginkgo]

to be honest, the idea, how they built etc very good. enjoy until you can't 🙂

[lyric moss]

The art work, the music, the caves, environment, the automation chef's kiss. The way the told the story not so much! But I love Astroneer.

[ruby ginkgo]

to be honest I like the game a lot, I could spend hours and days without getting bored... but under these circustances to me it is unplayable.

[radiant leaf]

I have that issue only after around 450 hours, and I was playing a bit with all additional objects to add something to my buildings. I think that if you will keep it simple you prabably would not encounter same issue and hopefully before you will reach it there will be some fix for it 🙂

It is still worth it, game is very cool, addictive and I had a blast till this moment building massive factories.

As I am waiting for an update I decided to play a bit on a fresh save with flying option just to play a bit while waiting for the fix 🙂

[lyric moss]

Yeah the Astroneer gang got upset with the last dlc (super broken) and many folks recommended Satisfactory. Of course if this is broken too....

[lyric moss]

Yeah, i'll keep going for a bit. Learning the game and loving what I'm seeing. My base is janky and all over the place but I'll learn to be more efficient. I hope you get your problem resolved so you can use everything!

[vale crystal]

Google saying that coffee stain collaborated with Fishlabs. Unsure how much of that work was left to Fishlabs or if Coffee Stain had a good handle on doing the work in house.

[robust crypt]

i really dont know.

Anyone had issues with crossplay between xbox and ps5?

[bright salmon]

[strong sedge]

I play the steam version on the Rog ally X.

[ionic narwhal]

Is there a way to change what fuel you are using on the trucks or no

[topaz basalt]

Change what is input into the stations, and then need to open each trucks inventory and remove the current fuel stack and replace with new type.

[ionic narwhal]

How do you open the truck inventory ive been sat here for 30 mins trying to figure it out lol

[topaz basalt]

In back, down low.

[ionic narwhal]

Im going to cry like really tho lol

[topaz basalt]

Its tiny and hard to find.

[ionic narwhal]

Ive literally been trying to figure it out for a good 30-45mins lol

[topaz basalt]

It's basically a small visible box on the model in the back, below the main cargo compartment part, making it really hard to trigger instead of the main truck hitbox.

[ionic narwhal]

Yer bit stupid like but I found it straight away when you said lol

[ionic narwhal]

How long you played for

[wary chasm]

I only make a crap Ton of power shards that’s it anything else no

[wary chasm]

Oh okay then but 5 alien power matrix is plenty to power of alien augmenter?

[robust crypt]

honestly i have never needed more then 500gw and i build more then that without Alien augmenters. I dont have a use for power matrix added

[topaz basalt]

Augmenter works without input, that input gives further boost, and you need to size that to how many augmenters you want to get extra boost.

Each seems to want 5/min.

Raising the bonus from 500MW + 10% to 500MW + 30%.

[gritty karma]

unless your making at least 15 superposition oscillators, 15 power shards, and 25 SAM fluctuators a minute then you wouldn't be able to do 5 power matrixes a minute which you need to keep one augmenter in mode 2 or charged up mode since what i have said above here is what it takes to make 5 matrixes a minute on one quantum encoder with two power shards in @wary chasm

as @topaz basalt and @robust crypt here have said you dont need to use the matrixes to use the augmenter you would be better off just finding all sloops and building like 2 augmenters then worring about the bonus fuel you can make espically if power shards are all you have of the process

[wary chasm]

I thought alien power matrix lets the alien augmenter give more mw of power then it gives by default

[topaz basalt]

Raises that base power multiplier from 10% to 30%.

[gritty karma]

it does do that it gives 30% more overall power boost to your production per one you maintain but unless your making what i said before you wouldn't be able to maintain that extra boost

[wary chasm]

Oh I am currently trying to make 5 alien power matrix per minute

[gritty karma]

if you are then yeah good but make sure you always maintain that if you wanna keep that boost since if it burns that off you lose the 30% back to 10%

Ugh I Wish the uobject limit wasn't so low on console but given the performance specs for this game to get crazy levels

[craggy pebble]

How can i rotate holograms on controller ?

For PC its mouse wheel but for Playstation i cant find the option

For the hyperloop canon, i need to rotate the branch

[ionic narwhal]

In need of some help with my power plant which ever way I configure coal generators I am not getting enough coal throughout them all causing for the fuse to trip all help welcome

[bright salmon]

What is the avg fram rate you get?

[candid condor]

Happy timezone, is anyone getting crashes as soon as they load into their world for the 1st time

[weak dragon]

i do sometimes crash to dashboard, yes

never happened after console restart tho

[blazing sage]

D Pad

[modest bramble]

Yea

The console edition is a mess atm

[candid condor]

Thanks guys

[gritty karma]

The biggest question there is where you have your generators set since it may just be a location issue for you that or you have too many generators for how much you are feeding them @ionic narwhal

[strong sedge]

60 fps in high…around 50 in ultra. But in a 900p resolution.

[strong sedge]

Nope

[modest bramble]

Yuh 🗣️

[open cedar]

Beginner question.
On pc if a constructor snaps to an output i can use shift to snap it there and move it on this line.
How do i do this on console ?

[rugged forge]

Snapping, i think RB or R1

[bright salmon]

Mine is the non-x version, so it may be unplayable xd

Will give it a try, and boot it there to see how it performs

[dusty notch]

my Series S plays the game really well though i havent finished phase three yet

[jovial zealot]

Hi! I just started this game today, before breakfast. Looked neat! And now it is 9pm and I have no idea where the time went. This game is great!!! I cant wait to find more stuff and build more things!!

[robust crypt]

one of us, one of us, one of us

[vagrant abyss]

It means you are getting better at the game

[karmic cradle]

Just got everything ready for the space stations tier 3 upgrades and a train station from my power/plastic/rubber factory to my main base and all I need now is to bring the excess materials I need screws, plastic, automatic wires, reinforced beams, and smart plates so it fills the storages lol just re built my entire copper iron and steel factorys with compact blueprints yesterday 😅 but the factory needs moreeee

[shut bramble]

Getting error 007 with my friend no matter what I do, has there been a published fix or work around for this error?

[plain holly]

Why do blueprints not carry over to other saves like they do on pc?

[topaz basalt]

Even on PC you need to manually move the BP files between saves in OS file explorer.

[robust crypt]

Check pins

[velvet thicket]

My whole main base isn't on the world grid its just slightly off

Ive never been more tempted to just start from scratch 😭😭

[weak dragon]

thats what i did the last 2 days

can not recommend

[robust crypt]

that's fine. You just need to learn building tricks to line up foundations. Lots of youtube content for this.

as some point i decided i prefer to follow the terrain not the world grid

[hallow bluff]

maybe you console players can help me

i play on pc with a x box controller

when i edit a sign the search function doesnt work

like search for a certain icon

i press the button but the search doesnt open

is this a bug or am i doing something wrong ?
button basically says "press select" to open search

but yeah when i press the button then nothing happens

[unkempt stratus]

I don't remember having any issue with signs
But also that was a year ago and I still play on steam deck
If the same issue exists on steam deck I'll probably try to find a fix when I get home

[shut bramble]

The only pin that shows up with key word search is a poll about the error, there isn’t anything addressing the issue itself that i can find

[robust crypt]

i was trying to give you a active way to talk to the devolpers. the poll ended 2 hours after i pointed ytou to it naturally

[fickle saffron]

Jemand hier auf Xbox unterwegs und deutsch?

[marble umbra]

Tut mir leid, Kumpel, ich bin neu in der deutschen Sprache und verstehe im Moment noch kein Deutsch.

[sudden cairn]

Huh, you'd think they would have a polls channel for this stuff tbh

[fickle saffron]

Can somebody Help me on my world on Xbox pls

[scenic canyon]

GUYS ISTHE CYBER WAGON SUPPOSED TO BE BROKEN HELP

I'm pretty sure that is part of the joke.

And German people, not to act as der polizei or something, but this is an English only server

[brazen jacinth]

could you send me the link to the german server then?

[robust crypt]

This is the only official discord.

You'll have to seek out a German community.

[timber crystal]

Hey everyone! Is there anyone willling to add me and let me tour their world? I'm fairly new to the game ( just unlocked oil production for the first time) and struggled to get that far. I'm just wanting to see how everything is setup to get a feel of what I should be doing. I wouldnt touch a thing!

[gritty karma]

Not currently on but a tip I can give you is the alt recipes for the oil stuff in this game can be very useful depending on how much you wanna use to play around with @timber crystal

[timber crystal]

Im not either. I mainly want to see how the beginner material factories are set up and how transportation between factories is used. I've gone the modular route but I just always have the feeling like I'm missing something, efficiency wise

[gritty karma]

well when it comes to oil production your best friend is a lot of the alt recipes

sent you some screenshots @timber crystal

[heady fog]

Anyone else having trouble connecting to epic

[robust crypt]

just booted up the launcher nad claimed the free games to test. No issues

[distant breach]

Is it possible to play on a dedicated server as a playstation Player?

[robust crypt]

no

[distant breach]

Boo

Actually sad...

[robust crypt]

likely a issue with Xbox and Sony wanting that subscription funds

[queen needle]

Xbox and Sony moment

[ionic narwhal]

Looking for some people to help rebuild my factory to get through the next stage of the space elevator

[buoyant solar]

How can i change keybinds on controller bc it wont let me

[lyric moss]

So I thought I lost my first doggo. I left him up on a 3 high foundation with no tall walls and poof he was gone.

It was disheartening because he brought me some really good stuff - rubber (which I cant make), a purple slug, and a SAM (which I haven't looked for).... he magically just showed up with a fused modular frame (which I cant make). For my stage of the game he seems very useful.

Any thoughts on how to not lose him? The research I did said basically a standalone foundations and wall him in. It sounds like even that is iffy should I just let it roam and he'll occasionally respawn where I found him or try to wall him in? TIA

[lyric moss]

I couldnt figure it out but it appeared to be at least half implemented. I'd love to change stuff on the D-Pad because not much is working, especially a long hold.

[frank fractal]

If you find out let me know. Ive had about 7 of them and they sometimes dissappear into the ground right before my eyes.

I have 3 currently and mourn my lost 4 every time I visit the remaining 3

[lyric moss]

What I've read is confusing and the results seem spotty at best. So, right now I have two x 1-high foundations enclosing the little bugger with high walls.

Im pretty new still and everything is a struggle but he's been there for a few hours. I read they can fall through foundations which was why I only went 1-high and can actually clip through the world on solid ground and its a silly fiasco trying to get them back. TBH, I don't think you can on xbox because you have to manipulate the save file.

Anyway, we'll see how the enclosure goes.

Xbox: A couple days ago I was asking if there was a bypass for the resource scanner function since on my Xbox controller the d-pad only functioned for a short time. Even when it did function it would only do the quick scan and I couldn't select an ore type.

Anyway, I have an series-2 elite controller. I went ahead and mapped a trigger to the d-pad and the trigger worked. Then I tried the d-pad on the elite and that worked also. Both ways were fully functional.

The controller I was originally using was very old, like maybe Xbox-1 (maybe even 360) old so maybe its a funtion of the controller? IDK (ps-Both controllers were updated to latest controller updates).

If you were having the same problem maybe switch controllers to something newer...

[frank fractal]

Mine clip through the walls sometimes. Ive removed the walls and they are just gone.

Ive had such a headache trying to keep my lovely little guys happy and not disappearing

[vagrant abyss]

Is the Hoverpack bug still a thing? Because my machine is idle and there is no reason

[surreal lichen]

Yes, when a hoverpack changes what grid it's drawing power from (as it might while hovering near power switches or the like), one side of the switch may temporarily go idle

It won't last for more than a second or so, though -- if you've got machines that stay idle then that's something else

[flint veldt]

Does the cross play not work?

[analog ember]

Wdym

[flint veldt]

It’s not pulling up my friends game

And we are epic friends

[analog ember]

Ps and xbox?

Both have crossplay enabled?

[flint veldt]

Yes

[analog ember]

Whoever is hosting put the lobby into multiplayer and open for friends?

[flint veldt]

Yes

[analog ember]

Both linked to epic 100 percent? And added the right accounts

[flint veldt]

Yes

[analog ember]

Who cant join who

[flint veldt]

When he joins me he crashes and he doesn’t appear on my join list

[analog ember]

Wdym he crashes

[flint veldt]

It sends him to Xbox home and force closes app

[gritty karma]

lol i swear water in this game is so fickel i mean should be the easiest of all the sloshables but the logistics of it are crazy lol

[vocal iron]

This happens to me, even when I play alone, you just gotta be lucky

[gritty karma]

hopefully some QoL in the patch notes for when 1.2 goes into experimental branch

[surreal sable]

They should add the entirety of the subnatica map under the water

[robust crypt]

im okay without the terror the deep that brings to my lizard brain

[surreal sable]

Silk issue

[surreal lichen]

-# A Silk Issue would be adding the entirety of Pharloom under the ground

[gritty karma]

Pretty sure they said they won't do underwater stuff in one of the dev streams, but here's hoping the new game mode and whatever else 1.2 brings is a decent time sink since 1.1 to now for 1.2 decent timeframe, but devoted crazy grinders will hit that the floor running the second it's live ( the 1.2 stuff ) guess we will see in march what's actually getting added in 1.2 once it goes live on xp branch

[surreal lichen]

Yeah, underwater stuff is super unlikely to ever happen. Will certainly be interesting to see what the game mode(s) bring(s)!

I'm not personally expecting anything that'll radically change the game or whatever; I think that stuff along the lines of randomized resource nodes is more likely (not that that's been confirmed)

[supple valley]

Any option in the future to have 24/7 open servers?

[vocal iron]

How can I invite a playstation player to my xbox world?

They can't seem to find my session

[gritty karma]

PlayStation and Xbox players can play Satisfactory together using cross-platform play supported through Epic Online Services (EOS). Both players must link an Epic Games account to their console profiles, add each other as friends within the Epic system, and ensure their in-game session is set to invite friends.

Found this on google

[gritty karma]

Think only way since they haven't mentioned it yet will be setting one up through a third party service unless that is a feature in like 1.5 or something way down the road

[gritty karma]

I'll admit having a third option in a sense for fluids will be kinda of hype, just hoping they fixing the logistics on pipes when it comes to pipes since for example you have a refinery process for say copper sheets or something and you have a consumption of water like 50 shy of what your extractors are putting into the system that it fills the system that plus if you do anything that makes headlift like it should it actually works more then like 60% of the time

Fluids are busted even if you do all tricks you're supposed to do
