[wary chasm]

What do you mean?

Is update 1.2 still in beta?

[topaz basalt]

Yes.
Experimental is public beta channel.

Not available on Consoles, because of console maker update policies.

[frail sorrel]

Qui pour une survie sur ps5 (ajouté moi en amis discord)

[wary chasm]

So it’s not even out for pcs it’s only in beta?

[topaz basalt]

Any PC player can switch to that Experimental branch, but not the default.

Consoles and PC default branch get it at the same time, once that Experimental version is good enough.

[wary chasm]

Good enough?

[clear finch]

Hi everyone,
I’m not sure if there are any Hungarian speakers here, but I have a question. Is there any possibility that Hungarian language support will be added in the future, or is there any planned update for it?
As far as I know, Hungarian might already be available on PC — but I’m not sure if that’s an official version or just a fan-made mod.
Could you please help clarify this, or does anyone have any information about it?

[random relic]

it is available on PC
I think it's unlikely that more languages will receive an official translation and be added to console

[naive folio]

I am becoming very tired of refineries

And all the recipes that just use blenders are less efficient at scale than the refinery recipes

[modern heart]

there arent many recipes that are found in blenders and refineries that make the same part though

except maybe fuels

but there, Diluted Fuel in the Blender is usually more efficient at scale

[naive folio]

Fuels are what I’m doing now. I’m working on a 5k rocket fuel power plant

[modern heart]

the recipe choice matters a bunch. many different variations

[naive folio]

This is the only recipe I’m using blenders instead of refineries for

Using blenders to make rocket fuel uses too much nitrogen

[modern heart]

but you cant make rocket fuel in the refinery anyway

Rocket Fuel is always a Blender recipe

either from Turbofuel or from regular Fuel

[naive folio]

Yes. My bad, I mean using the turbo blend fuel recipe

[modern heart]

Turbo Blend uses less Sulfur than the other recipes but a bit more oil

[naive folio]

Or whichever rocket fuel alt there is. My brain is kinda mush

[modern heart]

the only refinery spam here is likely the Heavy oil and then maybe Turbofuel

[naive folio]

Yes

[naive folio]

*nitro rocket fuel

[modern heart]

Yeah the Refinery Turbofuel recipe is really slow.
thats just how it is

Most people go with Nitro Rocket Fuel for simplicity.
The nitrogen cost isnt that much bigger

[naive folio]

It uses 75 nitrogen to make 150 rocket fuel, the other recipe uses 60 for the same amount

[modern heart]

yes. Thats not a whole lot more

[naive folio]

Hmmm

[modern heart]

if you make 600 Rocket Fuel, thats 240 vs 300 Nitrogen

[naive folio]

For 5K I need 2500 nitrogen.

[modern heart]

2000 vs 2500

[naive folio]

Big difference

[modern heart]

not really. One (maybe 2) pipelines extra at best

[naive folio]

Where I’m building it that’s an entire train just to bring nitro to my plant 😭

[modern heart]

use drones?

you can package nitrogen and that way it gets compressed 4 x

a single drone can easily do that extra amount

[naive folio]

I haven’t used drones at all yet

[modern heart]

worth a try then

[naive folio]

Ok I’m in a tricky spot

[modern heart]

but if you already set up all the refineries for turbofuel you might as well pull through

not like you will build something like this again

[naive folio]

I destroyed my entire megabase because it was awful and built like 200 hours ago and my game would not save because of how much stuff was there. So I’m not producing aluminum or many of the high tier resources and I’m relying on whatever was stored in the factory. I can’t really add a new mode of logistics right now.

I’m doing all this in the southeast oil field.

[modern heart]

then you might as well just finish it.

Turbo Blend fuel could have saved you a lot of refinery headache due to how fast it makes Turbofuel, but then your oil usage would probably have gone up a bit

[naive folio]

I think I can use this recipe. I can’t make bottles but I can just make an entire train bringing nitro from the swamp to my plant. Fluid throughput issues aren’t as bad when you spread it out over 4 cars…. right?

Well I’ll be making 6,000 fuel as soon as I set up the water

The only waste would be the compacted coal I set up, but it’s all blueprinted so I can easily delete that.

[modern heart]

train cars and gas are a bit tricky.
theres a way to make it work but it requires some more in-depth pipe knowledge

buuut i think you can just do one pipe per car with 2 pipe connections, split off from one pipe

will need some buffers for that

[naive folio]

Dedicated single-use rail with multiple trains you say?

If I can’t do something efficient I can do it really big and stupid.

And worry about the consequences later

And this will be my entire power infrastructure until thinking about nuclear doesn’t make me nauseous so redundancy is warranted.

I played a lot factorio before I played this game so I have this sickness, you give me a huge nitrogen node in the middle of the map and a recipe to process quartz using that nitrogen? Well of course I need to send 9,000 quartz per minute there. Well shit now I’m making 6000 crystals and if I don’t use those then my silica won’t be produced. Well the only option is to make SIX HUNDRED CRYSTAL OSCILLATORS per minute. But that’s gonna need a lot of power and I’m only making 30MW, time to dedicate an entire biome to fuel processing and generators for 300MW and hope that’s enough for a while.

I don’t think the console version can handle my ambitions and it is extremely depressing

Oh. Nitro rocket fuel uses too much sulfur. So that’s not gonna work

[modern heart]

a tip for Quartz Purification:
If you only need Silica OR Quartz, using their dedicated alt recipes (Pure Quartz, Cheap Silica) is better than Quartz Purification

especially if you need them in differing ratios

[naive folio]

Yeah I know. I just wanted an absurd amount of both

I will be using all the crystals, and silica is super useful it won’t be hard to use that up

[naive folio]

Turbo blend uses a lot of oil but little sulfur but it’s too complicated to add it to my plant, I could use it in a diamond plant though….

[hollow gyro]

It looks like yes, from what I've seen there's legacy paths, where your old paths work until you redo them

[vagrant abyss]

Guys I started a factory with satisfactory tools, abondened it for over a month and now I have no idea what I wanted to make. There is bauxite and rubber, but also copper. Does anyone know what this is?

[robust crypt]

what phase are you on?

[vagrant abyss]

The last one

There is also plastic amd petroleum coke. I thought that maybe it was turbo motor or supercomputer

[robust crypt]

could be anything

[modern heart]

bauxite and rubber and coke?
sounds like you were trying to do electrode aluminum scrap and then something to do with rubber.
maybe cooling systems?

oooor you were just making heatsinks

with maybe alclad aluminum casing alt

Hello. My game is crashing very often on the autosaves, when I play with one or multiple persons. What can I do against it?

[modest bramble]

Nothing, it's a bug that they're working on apparently

[mint bobcat]

Hey does anyone know what are the trophys like in multyplayer?
If there are multiple people are there any missables?

[vocal turtle]

I have a question if anyone has the answer. i am trying to buy satisfactory on my PC on the XBOX app but when i search the game it just comes up with no results. i have the game on steam already. if i search it on a console it comes up fine. does anyone knowwhy i cant buy the game one my PC in the XBOX app?

[gritty karma]

The only real missables are the collect so many of a item by this I mean somersloops, mercer spheres, and maybe hard drives depending on actively the people your playing with are looking for items like these

[coral bear]

I was wondering that too about the golden nut. Me and a friend are almost there, and we where worried about us both getting the achievement. I was gonna do a hard save before one of us bought it just in case.

[gritty karma]

Oh yeah forgot about the nut, but yes that would be the best way to do it I mean world I have I bought the nut for my achievement but then realized should of done this for a friend worst case scenario will get enough coupons for them but the grind is crazy after first 1200 I mean last time I checked my sink ballpark of 100 mill points per ticket and the bad part since rebuilding a lot of stuff only avging 1 mill points per minute for now

[lilac edge]

I think it's because that requires it to be sold in the microsoft store, and it's currently only for sale on pc via steam or epic (and technically via humble bundle, but that's only cos it gives you a choice of steam or epic key)

[supple cove]

It sucks that due to the bug Im encountering, I can't go far into the game in general

[abstract oxide]

Are you also running into issues with the game saving?

[supple cove]

Yup, have been for about a month now

It's slowed my progress with the space elevator

[abstract oxide]

Yeah I've had the same issue for roughly the same amount of time

[supple cove]

I think it was from a patch they made back then when I started to experience it

[abstract oxide]

I think it's an issue with how many items are in the world that are being rendered

I'm not really sure honestly but I've noticed that stopping whatever I'm doing and just standing still and looking at the ground has helped some

[supple cove]

I did everything from uninstalling, reinstalling, deleted my original 150 hour build, clear the games data

[abstract oxide]

Yeah it's really annoying because I'm pretty close to the finish line and just can't progress any further

[supple cove]

Ngl though, I've played since version 3 on pc

Well version/update

[abstract oxide]

Yeah I've only been playing since it was ported to console

[supple cove]

Was happy it came to xbox so I could budget, I was in the middle of doing bauxite build when the close application bug keeps happening

Even though my main bace in the dune desert does nothing

But it also happens from three things that Ive listed in my post in the q and a

[abstract oxide]

Oh god yeah the bauxite area is horrible

I had to do deforestation and dismantle every single build in it

Just to be able to Occasionally exist in it

[supple cove]

I find its weird as the mushrooms can't be deleted via nobelisc

[abstract oxide]

Honestly I just encased it in walls, because the game only renders what you can see and walls block the other stuff from rendering and it kinda worked

[supple cove]

Yeah... I found that weird but helpful when I was on pc

It's just sad at the moment, wanted to carry on playing but the bugs prevent me from finishing off my builds

[abstract oxide]

Yeah I just tried to play it and it was just crashing too much

Another hypothesis I have is that there's too many save files, but I'd rather not test out that hypothesis

[supple cove]

Funny enough, I limited to one save per day if possible, use the resent one for when you start projects like in the dune desert

Apologies for bad spelling or grammar

[gritty karma]

I mean how many files do you have to maybe think about this for the issue you're having?

[abstract oxide]

Uhh

Maybe 100ish

I just know that other games get wonky with multiple saves

[gritty karma]

I mean if it is the object limit means you have over 1 mill rendered that counts towards the game limit

[gritty karma]

Dang yeah with that many it might be an issue, maybe an older file is corrupted or something hmm

[gritty karma]

Yeah over like 10-20 srea think I have had similar issues in some games so very well might be at least part of the issue your having

[warm viper]

Yall I'm in a bit of a pickle and I need yalls help

So I have 3 factory locations, my main one is near my space elevator and hub and it makes basic early game mats like plates and stuff, I have another factory thats focused on making rotors and steel related equipment, I have a third factory related to copper related equipment

Problem is I'm not sure what to do with my main factory because I need to transport stuff to the space elevator

And I've been a bit lost in where to build my next factories next that are related to processors and phase 2 related materials

[gritty karma]

by the sound of it you should be able to belt them from the machines making the parts you need unless your elevator is on one side of the map and the materials being made are on the other but you did say that factory is near you elevator....i mean worst case scenario you can manually feed the elevator if belting would make your area look like a bowl of spaghetti

[gritty karma]

what materials do you see are your next target for when you start that phase

[warm viper]

That's the thing tho I need to transport supplies from factories

I've been thinking about making a giant factory that gets supplies from across the map but I'd need alot of power for that my current situation doesn't let me do that

[warm viper]

I just wanna be done with phase 2 atm, I don't know what mats are after

[gritty karma]

so then your working in phase 2 currently what is it you need to finish the phase so know where your at exactly

[warm viper]

Mhm but I feel like I need to remake a factory of mine otherwise theyre not operating to their full efficiency

[gritty karma]

i mean early days yeah you will be doing remaking alot of the times but until you get oil processing which is next phase your almost at its only so many things that you really have to remake

[robust crypt]

There is a lot of resources. Its more efficient to leave the old factory and build a new one and have both.
I understand wanting to rebuild something you think can be better. But this can lead to burnout and feelings of repetition as you are taking steps backwards.

[worthy hearth]

Very true, think its learning, is but can get burned out quickly, on my 6th restart and ive already given a name and at maybe 100hrs total 🤣 such a noob 🤣 im loving the game and thru those trials and errors, my factory setup has gotten more streamlined but in comparison to my last, im not covering as much distance due to the burn out of having to travel far, even with a truck, I need trains 🤣

[robust crypt]

burn out can be real and we all have our limits.

Back tracking kills any drive i have. I thought i lost 100 hours last night due to a steam cloud issue. luckily i made a back up on monday so it was only 8 hours. But even then......losing eight hours for me is huge, I rarely turn on the game unless i have a detailed plain of what i am going to do. I have a plan with all the math and layouts generally don so i just need to do the work

I dont idle in game

i almost quit still

[worthy hearth]

Sounds like me with kerbal space program and having 7k hrs in it between pc and console; its on the back burner for satisfactory 🤣

[robust crypt]

rough, Apperently the certification of updates through the two console platfroms is a pain and fail if they do not make significant changes to the game. Making bug patching really hard

[worthy hearth]

Thinking v1.2 will be the fix for trucks upon my issue lol

[robust crypt]

likely since they have completely reworked the vehicle pathing. I cant drive in Satisfactory so i am excited for this

I could try it now but as previously stated I refuse to loose playtime

[worthy hearth]

I dont mind losing time, either way, its passing us by, no matter what we do

So, just go with the flow as updates are active, unlike ksp

Hey everyone. I'm playing on console since a while and while i am construction something in a tunnel, 2 trucks have disapeared. The map say that they are there but not able to see them. Any clues ?

[surreal lichen]

I've seen various reports that vehicles on console can end up falling through the ground, alas -- something that I'd thought was patched up awhile ago but maybe the console version has a regression

At the moment there's honestly probably not much to do except just create a new vehicle, alas.

[trail saddle]

is there a way to "hover" the nodes that show up on the map to see if they are normal or pure or whatever? with mouse and keyboard you just mouse over them 🤔

you can see it with normal pings, I just don't know how to use the functionality with a controller hmm

if I just ping then hover nodes with a mouse it says what they are but on controller that doesn't seem to work for some reason

Yes, if it works its apparently worth it.

Just be careful, if you do Xbox and PS crossplay theres a chance you might be affected by a nasty bug where that just straight up wont work

just to give you a heads up Megafactory is generally looked at as all part creation is in one place. if you have more then one factory its not a megafactory.

Just make sure those that are contributers have a designated area to log out..

[safe briar]

You can kill their offline body and take their stuff from the crate they drop, their body will despawn and when they join again they'll just spawn in the hub.

I had to go kill one of my friends who was logged out because he had all of the mercer spheres on him.

[pallid umbra]

How do you kill them though. All I have is the Xeno Zapper right now and it doesn't seem to do anything to them.

[safe briar]

Players have a lot more health than enemies, it takes a few more hits to kill a player than it does a normal enemy. Or even just spend a bit of time to unlock the rebar gun.

[pallid umbra]

Never mind, he finally died. Thanks.

Question for console satisfactory players

Is late game possible on PS5?
You know, as in does the game function OK or does it get to the point that it crashes every 20 mins and runs at 15 fps

[buoyant panther]

Not sure if this helps at all but I’m currently on Tier 4 on an Xbox series S (a little less powerful than the PS5) and my game runs perfectly fine

[simple vector]

Anyone know when the stable version release date of 1.2 is?

[robust crypt]

No date. Likely fall

[surreal lichen]

#1201555265942724758

[wary jungle]

Hm sounds good then
It's just that I've got experience with late game cities skylines and late game Transport fever 2
Those two games absolutely throttle the loving fuck out of the ps5 cpu and eats up the ram like hell.
And concidering this game simulates a metric ton of product moving around, it worried me if I can even complete the game on the ps5 sinde the late game production gets insanely complex from what I know.

And... well, I don't want to push the GPU either since my ps5 is showing its design failure in the form of GPU artefacting (liquid metal cooling fails over time if the ps5 is vertical and unfortunately i dont have the space to place it horizontal), at least I saw it when playing no mans sky, so I don't wanna damage my system.

[buoyant panther]

I’ve also made it to the late game of cities skylines and I can totally relate with the game playing really slow. I believe satisfactory is really well optimized with objects outside of a certain distance not technically “rendering” but they still function if that makes sense.

[wary jungle]

That makes me super happy then honestly
Cuz I'd love to get to the very late game with this with megafactories that are extremely complex. Plus I adore detailing so I'm sure I'll spend a ton of processing power on polygons by just building the factory buildings themselves.

Everyone hyped the hover pack and I can see why but after a few hours of setting up a factory, I had to turn off the vibrations. They’re nasty. Plus the inertia is annoying and I wish I could turn it off as I drift off alignment all the time when building.
Is there anyway if you accidentally run out of power and fall in water whilst building, to get out without walking ashore somewhere? I just get stuck in the build menu when I try to get out.

[supple cove]

Already posted about it, but god dam there are about 20+ bugs reported for console

[vocal iron]

Do i do cloudy diamonds or tempered caterium ingots? Or do I rescan?

I do have oil based diamonds

[surreal lichen]

The inertia definitely takes some getting used to. Over time you develop the reflexes to account for it, though!

[plucky sonnet]

I hope so!

[hearty shadow]

i got to aluminum the other day, this is the farthest ive gotten

ever

im proud of myself

the hoverpack is a really good utility

[cyan kindle]

Hey all, long time PC player looking to move to XBOX so I can enjoy the game with my nephews. Can anyone let me know 1.) If the XBOX multiplayer is decent enough for us to enjoy the game together. 2.) Do I need to have XBOX live and all of that jazz? Thanks!

[radiant leaf]

If you are planning to build a bigger factory I do not recommend it on xbox.

It is 2nd time I am having issues with saving the game due to object limits. This time I have avoided placing anything from architecture and went a bit further but stucked in phase 5.

So far I saw several people reporting this issue and no information from developers if they are planning to fix it

[buoyant panther]

Since the game is not free to play you’ll need Xbox live to play online. I haven’t played multiplayer so I’m not sure how well it performs

[cyan kindle]

Thanks for the info. How big are we talking? My goal is to build enough to beat the game in multiplayer, but not necessarily do anything over the top to get it done.

[radiant leaf]

I rather go big, but not as big as some of the people. Total power useage was a bit over 150 GW and just started with time shards.

I had main megafactory and few larger outpost (for example one of the letest one was producing around 7k aluminium ignots per minute).

I will be fair - it is still prabably over 200 hours of a play before you will reach it, so it is still worth to have that experiance with your nephew. I hope they will solve it before you will reach it.

[cyan kindle]

Great knowledge and I appreciate your input!

[regal grove]

Does console have keyboard & mouse support?

[surreal lichen]

Not yet -- that's coming as part of v1.2 (release date is not yet set, probably within 1-3 months. could take longer, though -- all depends how the current Experimental phase goes)

[placid jungle]

[low rune]

Well my fellow console players, i have a conundrum.

I'm paving over blue crater lake for a turbo fuel plant.

I did all the math, figured out what recipes I'm gonna need/use (there's some alts involved) and how many fuel generators I'm gonna run. (60 gens using turbo fuel).

The conundrum? While paving the lake i noticed random frame rate drops. So now I don't know if my xbox can handle it and I'm worried it's either gonna crash my whole save or make the location unusable unless i scale it back.

Is down scaling pretty much a must for us console players or can i have big grandiose factories? I've been operating out of my starter factory for most of my play through (this is my first btw) and just completed the research for nuclear power and have access to pretty much EVERY alt recipe (that i currently can have anyway) thanks to a couple of very extensive hard drive hunts.

TLDR; building a big factory and even with just the super structure I'm noticing performance hiccups. I haven't even built a machine here yet

[plucky sonnet]

Are you on a PlayStation or an Xbox X or S? I have an X and am at a similar stage and just did a 200+ refinery with my auto saves just getting a bit more noticeable but no other issues so far. I’m not techy though.

[low rune]

Xbox Series X. I just don't wanna crash my save. Lol

[plucky sonnet]

I've small/medium factories spread out plus my rebuilt starter and the big refinery but only a few decorated ones and haven't noticed it dropping yet.

[split blaze]

I built 160 fuel plants on ps5 and was a little low frames wise but worked fine

[low rune]

@plucky sonnet @split blaze

These are both comforting to hear. Maybe once i scale back my "starter base" (it's so much bigger now. Lol) and reduce my other power plants it'll stabalize. Thanks for the input

[split blaze]

It should be fine. My old world had some mega sized produciton lines. And my new one has an insane amount of asthetic buildings. And it still ruins fine

[split blaze]

If you want invite me and ill see what yours is like compared to mines and show you mine if you want

[low rune]

I appreciate the offer but as of right now i haven't done the EOS ID thing to enable online play. But I'm unsure if that is specific to crossplay or just multiplayer in general to be honest

[split blaze]

Think its multiplayer in general

[sterile tangle]

Is anyone else having a problem of walking through terrain or falling through the map recently

[kindred dock]

[lyric moss]

Nitrogen has broken my brain!

Hi everyone. I was wondering if anyone can help me wrap my head around pipes, blenders and rocket fuel. I've done loads of research but I'm probably not looking in the right places. Just a question or two to get me unstuck.

I'm sending nitrogen down hill in the Blue Crater part of the map to where the oil patch is across a waterfall. The pipe appears to be close to 600 meters. Every section seems to have differing fill rates and amounts. The pipes indicator flanges(?) all are full but where the pipe hits the blender that section shows pulsing flow rates up to 200. The blender also works on and off and sits around 15%. Anyway everything is kinda of working but I just dont know how to test or evaluate pipes and gas. Some of the section flow rates are 1 - 10m at any time and kess the 50m full on a mk2 pipe.

Is there a way to test the piping at the end? The best testing I've done is with a lone industrial fluid container at the end. Any help or pointing me to a guide would be appreciated, TIA

[lyric moss]

Oh gosh, I answered my own question. When I said end of the line.... it was at the end of one extractors up the hill by the nitrogen. I immediately thought when I wrote my question I never tried the actual end.... at the Blender. So I hooked the pipe up to an industrial container at the blender and could see a 600m flow. So my pipes are good.

So my inefficiencies are between the turbofuel and blender not the gas. Seems like I could setup like 5 blenders if I wanted (I dont).

[robust crypt]

Glad you figured it out

gas has no head lift. so no pumps needed. I suggest no fluid buffers as the play havoc.

let all you lines fill completely before turning on machines this will help achieve max flow

[lyric moss]

Yeah. I started bottling the Nitrogen and using drones to my main factory blender for fused frames. Built a whole blasted battery factory. Then I got to Rocket fuel and everything changed prepping for greater power needs.

So I understand sloshing and buffer issues and I think that kept from testing one at the very end of the pipeline. But as I come to think more about gas what I really needed was something to draw it from the source and the industrial fluid buffer was a perfect test for a large immediate draw at the end of my pipeline just before getting into my factory. I now know I can pull the maximum non-overclocked amount from my pure nitrogen field.

I think the confusion is looking at individual pipe sections. I need pressure rates not amount rates. Flow rates only make sense if the flow is continuous. I'm not sold on buffers being a problem just yet but I did see after the buffer was filled it lost some amount of volume (20-30m) periodically causing some sloshing.

Thanks for the response. I still need work on the whole rocket fuel loop. I still am very unsure of what all the numbers in each machine are actually trying to tell me. Have a great day!

[robust crypt]

can i dm you my NRF write up? it has a suggest layout for easy scaling and ratios

[lyric moss]

Sure that would be great. You already hooked me up with Satisfactory Tools which looks very interesting. Thank you.

[robust crypt]

its just another resource like any other,use it or dont i just want folks to have information available

[vocal iron]

With the trains, if thats transporting, lets just say my iron, should i do "freight wagon us fully loaded/unloaded"? Or "One load/unload has been completed"?

I dont understand the difference

[short canopy]

I haven’t noticed any issues in performance mode on Series X

[uneven jolt]

Is there a website that we can load the blueprint files from a PC player and view them?

[uneven jolt]

Correction/addition, can you open the .sbpcfg files w/o having satisfactory on your laptop

[turbid siren]

Dunno if you can load the blueprint file directly, but with SCIM you can at least load the blueprint into am existing savefile (even an empty one) and then view it

[modern heart]

I dont think so.

[vast granite]

Apparently there’s a build limit on console I seem to have just hit, and once you hit it you cannot save your game. I have 500 hours in now and it’s all wasted, if this is indeed what’s causing the issue

[gritty karma]

there is a build limit on PC as well just they can manipulate there limit unlike us but the baseline is like 2.1 milllion+ objects

[vast granite]

There’s no warning given at any point, this is the frustrating part - just at some point, boom, your game is done because you’ve hit an invisible limit

It sounds like a massive limit, but you could only use about 10000 on actual buildings and machines - then the rest is eaten up in the background with pipes, foundations etc

[supple cove]

I know about that, it can definitely be annoying, but to be fair the game is about under 10gb on console so far, so maybe if they eventually double the object limit, it might work? I know there is a work around on pc, but It might corrupt the save file

[supple cove]

Depends if they are on series s or x

[wispy flower]

Do we know with 1.2 if there will be a way on consoles to be able to download blueprints other people have made? Or at least know if this is something the devs are going to consider

[robust crypt]

at the moment there is no way nor have they revealed if it would be ever possible. the issue is the filing system on consoles.

[vocal badger]

I think you basically have to assume you'll never be able to dl bps for console

[turbid siren]

There is a lot of work done to optimize the number of objects in the game, so it's impossible to make a 1:1 comparison between what you build and in-game objects
Eg: placing 2 foundations (not touching) may count as adding 2 objects to the game; zooping 2 foundations (in comparison) may count as just one; same as zooping 10.

In other words: if you take the engine's limits into account (the limit is set by game engine by default iirc) you can choose designs that greatly cut down on how many objects your game actually has to handle (other than more obvious solutions like overclocking and not being "wasteful" in logistics and vehicle usage etc)

[vast granite]

The actual objects - foundations, trains, buildings all make sense.

What is a pipe? Or a conveyor belt, or a train track? What length of any of them is “one” object?

It is completely impossible to actually plan anything in this game without knowing these

[modern heart]

They are aware of that issue with being unable to save if the save file gets too big and it is worked on

Its not announced ingame or anything because its obviously not intended to even matter

You shouldnt ever need to know what an unreal object is and how high the limit is

Even on PC, you dont get the exact limit nor how many objects are in a buildable.

Because even UI elements are objects

[wispy flower]

Like for snowrunner on console, they use Mod.io that you just link the accounts together and ur now able to download mods. Wasn't sure if this is something that can be similarly done but for blueprints

[vast granite]

Is there any word from the developers on a fix release for it, or is it just whenever? It’s probably the most major flaw I’ve found on this game, everything else is more of a quirk - but to sell the game to people that has a fake file save limit size and prevents people actually playing it is a massive problem. I don’t know how they’re still selling this game on console when it quite literally always ends up broke

No matter what you do on console, if you want to keep playing it/building, it will eventually stop saving.

[topaz basalt]

On PC the game just crashes when it hits limits.

Either by hitting UObject limit, or running out of RAM & swap.

[vast granite]

Any way to check your current UObject usage on Xbox?

[modern heart]

No

In general its not really possible to check that

On PC there used to be a mod for it

But you cant mod consoles anyway

The devs only said "Our Partner Fishlabs is working on it"

But if anything that would probably be wrapped up together with 1.2 because apparently you cant make smaller patches

[robust crypt]

Patches must be "meaningful"

[topaz basalt]

And those Xbox S specific autosave issues are almost certainly about the console running out of RAM.
As S only has 8GB, shared as Game RAM and VRAM.
And 2GB of slower OS RAM.

Where on PC, you need minimum of 4GB of VRAM, and classically 8GB of RAM was seen as minimum.
4+4GB can run the game at smaller saves now on PC.

As result of lot of optimizations to RAM usage.

But PC UObject limit hitting saves used to need 32+GB of RAM, 16GB of RAM would run out and start swapping long before.

[vast granite]

I got so frustrated but the more I understand about it all, the more I realise it’s an unreal engine issue and not coffee stain

I suppose this does help me breathe fresh life into the game - I was definitely being incredibly wasteful and building a huge city - time to spend days deleting and optimising before progressing further 😀

[robust crypt]

Udating the Console experience is a pain point for CSS they are also frustrated. I have faith they are doing the best they can with the restrictions they have. Console players will likely get a monster bug update come 1.2.

[vast granite]

Absolutely - this is honestly my favourite game I have ever played, and I’m 34! They’ve done an incredible job with it

Especially making it work on console, even bothering to try is to their credit, but it works amazingly well

[robust crypt]

if you want to help (spread the word too) They do most of there bug and feedback on the QA website. upvoting similar issues there is the best way to get attention. As well as making new reports and request. They have been stressing during community streams that everyone should leave input there not on discord or redit

<3 @robust crypt

[vast granite]

To be fair though, as far as I’m aware they’re well aware of the issue, and are actively working on fixes - there’s not a lot can be done on their end apart from optimisations - now that I know the problem lies with unreal engine and not them, I’ll not pester them with something they know of and are also limited by

I now know how to get playing again- get optimising and deleting any random filler stuff

[robust crypt]

this specific issue they are very aware of. But there is other issues the may not be privy to. For example the Quick search feature is buried in a menu, not quickly accesible. This kinda defeats the purpose

[faint stone]

can you use the signs as light, like on the pc version. Do they light up as much?

[topaz basalt]

No, as console version doesn't support Global Illumination/Lumen.
Which is officially unsupported even on PC.

And can cause 50% FPS loss when enabled.

[faint stone]

ah I see, thanks

[topaz basalt]

Lumen is Epics own raytracing solution in Unreal Engine 5.
With SW (GPU shaders) and HW (GPU RT-HW) versions, and PC Satisfactory has that unofficial SW Lumen support.
HW Lumen cannot deal with the amount of objects in Satisfactory so isn't implemented.
But consoles just couldn't deal with the extra load and it was left out even in unofficial form.

[modern heart]

probably because it clogs up console memory. no clue if console tries to increase the share of VRAM vs normal RAM and would thus make the object limit issue worse

[topaz basalt]

That too, needs significantly more VRAM too on PC.

Besides dropping GPU side FPS 25-50%.

[round geyser]

No. Time to kill yourself and Isekai into a new save with the knowledge of this life.

[vast granite]

Not at all - I built a huge sky city that looks like a circuit board - trains upon trains upon trains, each area making something to shift on. But I filled the whole thing in with a 6x6 blueprint. Now that I am realising about the limit, even if it’s 1000x1000, I’ve wasted about 1,000,000 objects on foundations - a majority of which are filler!

I cannot stress enough how much I love this game

I was literally about to cover the entire world with a city above it, lots of wasted space that is easily deleted now that it’s basically constructed

[abstract oxide]

So theoretically if I just put more ram in my Xbox satisfactory would work a little bit better?

[uneven jolt]

So if I read the previous messages correctly, CSS is still working on balancing the object limit for console which most likely (hopefully) will be released in the 1.2 update

[pseudo wasp]

Does console have mouse and keyboard support?

[uneven jolt]

If the object limit is 2.16 million, and that also includes trees, can I just destroy all the trees to free up some object space?

[topaz basalt]

Other way around probably.
Flora by defaults exists, and any removals are saved.

[uneven jolt]

Damn...

[unreal reef]

Yo yo yo yo anybody got a gun like you I think like he is the game I play now I play for 25 hour and is it possible to play this game for 5000 hours and still will not be done or is it gonna have finish is it like red red redemption that’s finish after 25 5135 hours or is it not?

I use the voice to text feature, so I apologies for the misspell

[modern heart]

There is an end

25 hours isnt a lot

People can play this game a lot, whether its on the same save file i cannot say

I have like 2 to 3k hours spread out among a few saves

[bright harbor]

Hi everone, im currently working on the calculations of a uranium waste processing plant, however, seeing the required resources to make plutonium rods i almost had a seizure, if you have tips to reduce the cost in raw resources i'll gladly take notes , thanks

Once im done making the uranium fuel rods i'll make 300 waste per minute

[modern heart]

classic

you can make plutonium a bit cheaper by using instant plutonium cells

hmm actually, that gives you more plutonium so its more expensive

yeah no nothing to be done plutonium just do be like that

you could make most of the part needed for plutonium fuel rods out of aluminum

[robust crypt]

Not currently

Idk if this is my computer or the game but it likes to do this thing where it's kinda like a smear frame. Or maybe a flash bang effect. Pixels trailing behind?

Hi all... so I'm doing something accidental or wrong where there are times my refineries and blenders kind of stop doing work and just go idle. There really doesnt appear to be a resource constraint because If I go into the machines menu and select the recipe again it starts working.... but eventually goes idle again. I'm missing something.... thoughts? Thanks.

[robust crypt]

Are the outputs completely clear?

[surreal lichen]

Are you using a hoverpack? If so, are there any power switches (priority or otherwise) nearby?

(but yes, check your outputs as well. :)

[lyric moss]

I think somehow Im overloading the turbofuel with compacted coal. I'm feeding it an external source and the byproduct of the rocket fuel. I have both sources inputing to a large storage container and that buffer filled stoping the rocket fuel from being made... Originally the rocket fuel wasnt making enough compacted coal and now Ive added an external source so Im feeding it too much. My brain is broke.... lol

I have theory... but it will take a second to see. By adding the external compacted coal to the input of the turbo fuel and causing a back up so much the rocket fuel goes idle because it cant offload it's coal into the line.... after a period of time my fuel generators might be turning off because no rocket fuel is being made. Not totally sure but by getting rid of some of the coal in the buffer things seem "stable"...

[sinful path]

Can you do a bypass train line? Like so if a rail already had a train there it would take another rail that was empty that reached the same destination?

[uneven jolt]

Okay slight problem. I have two trains on a looped track with signals coming out of the stations, but on the main track going in between the two stations only one train will go at a time...
What the heck did I do wrong? Do I have to put block and path signals all the way down?

[uneven jolt]

Update, I ran pathing signals down both sides of the train and it seems to be working but is that the only way to get this to work?

[stark nova]

Ok don’t flame me me I am going to leave room to improve apon it when I get mixers later in the game but for my first time making a power plant on this scale I have prepared 18 lines worth of 300ml oil going to what will be 18 heavy oil residue to alternate dilited fuel for 81000MW before I commit to it is there any advice or recommended alternatives before I make it

I have made about 3 of these before on my first attempt at the game but noticed almost immediately after finishing them that I was running on power shortage issues from not having enough power production I’m using the packaged fuel design in this video of course modified for the updated generator consumption/output

https://youtu.be/oGlbkgkx0oA?si=m_QB4hehWvbUnEGi

Would complete it all tonight but unfortunately I have irl obligations tomorrow

[gritty karma]

@stark nova that is the beauty of this game play like you want not everyone has to play the same way like some games out there

[red hearth]

It kinda depends, if you send a screenshot I can give you a hand

[uneven jolt]

I ended up placing path signals (and a couple more block signals) down both sides of the stretches of track and it worked

[red hearth]

Alright, glad you figured it out 😊

[cyan kindle]

Wondering if anyone here can help me with a few multiplayer console questions. Specifically about Xbox and multiplayer.

[pure furnace]

Quick question, does anyone know when 1.2 will be released on console?

[robust crypt]

No date set

[gritty karma]

from what they said it will be a few months in exp. branch before they release it so since it was end of march probably looking may or June at the potential earliest it will be added to live branch but this is only a guess at best

[slow copper]

I’m on ps5 and was wondering whether anyone else is lacking background music?

[somber bison]

You may of muted it or it’s just very quiet

Or it’s just not playing
Sometimes I get periods where it just doesn’t play

[weary pecan]

Anyone on Xbox looking for a friend? It's a lonely game

[sturdy jetty]

Anyone know when they will fix the game from crashing when it saves?

[sharp dirge]

Anyone down to start a creative project?

[serene kernel]

You can install Spotify and listen to any music that you want

[stable tinsel]

Any chance they add MOD.IO support for consoles and let us have Mods?

[gritty karma]

i wouldnt count on that until that xbox steam hybrid comes out the project helix or whatever its called

[stable tinsel]

Why do you think the new console would change things? Or just timeline lol

[gritty karma]

timeline more so then anything i mean if they add mod capability to series x and s or Ps5 the games performance would tank immediately i feel like

[stable tinsel]

I think it would depend on what you were doing with them or how game breaking they were

They already use Mod.io in a few other games so I could see it for sure. But with no official modding scene on PC it’s hit or miss

[gritty karma]

also true but gotta also take into account most PCs of people who use mods are way better speced then what a xbox or playstation could handle

[split tapir]

Nope

[stable tinsel]

That’s true too, always forget that consoles are underpowered compared to pcs now lol. I feel like it was somewhat neutral at one point in time

[gritty karma]

it was for awhile but yeah that's is why imo if they were to one day give mods capability i wouldn't see it till you can play steam games on the console i mean since at that point you could play the PC version of the game anyways

[stable tinsel]

True, even if you can play steam games on console it won’t be all games or it won’t run 100%.

There has to be a catch with that new console

[gritty karma]

yeah probably more then one since its Microsoft were are talking about at least in regards to that console lol

[stable tinsel]

Copilot console

[sinful path]

That shpuld be changed really I mean once you have so many trains one rail gets very crowded, i mean it would be a big change as from what I saw online the pathfinding isn’t progressive it does it at the start of the path so it would theoretically be a bigger change but

[split tapir]

Did you already build it?

[gritty karma]

i mean heck what i wish is they console the ability to toggle the object limit since we cant see that number unlike PC

[sinful path]

Yes

[split tapir]

Send me a screenshot in dms

[sinful path]

Ok I will later

[split tapir]

Alright

[sinful path]

I’m not home so

[slow copper]

[white maple]

Does playing Satisfactory on PC using a controller count?

[uneven jolt]

This may have already been asked, but are they going to make a way for blueprints to be shared between PC and console? Or Console and Console?

[gritty karma]

As of now there is no way for that due to how data is saved on console maybe one day but probably gonna be awhile if they do ever allow this

[uneven jolt]

sigh hell ill even take a central library or just a website to view blueprints from a PC save

[robust crypt]

Do you nor have a web browser on console?

You can browse the internet for BP designs and build alongs

[gritty karma]

Yeah would be nice for sure but unfortunately yeah due to how data is written

[gritty karma]

I think what they are wanting more is what the scim site provides for an example with the BP files people upload there

Yeah figured as much

Like I said it would be awesome to get something like that for the console but if we ever do it's gonna be some serious time

[uneven jolt]

Sad day lol

[robust crypt]

I get that, but I offer solutions we can implement rather then waiting for someone else

[gritty karma]

i mean have you seen a build tutorial were they have explained how to build stuff i mean i have seen builds with no commentary but not a lot with guides really

[robust crypt]

Totalxplise has blueprint build along throughout his videos specifically for console users.

Im sure there is others but he is the one that comes to mind

[gritty karma]

oh guess i havent seen enough videos then...my bad

[robust crypt]

Its not ideal. But I want us to find solutions and build information to help eachother. Ill be making a google document with videos and time stamps for us full build alongside as I see them.

Mind you I'm pc, but I want others to get as much fun and help as they can get

[gritty karma]

i mean get that i do but gotta keep in mind you have the mindset of the PC brethren im coming from the console mindset i get the fact i didn't see someone like totals console based guides as you said but also cant exactly say someone is not helpful if they say oh you gotta wait since console data is so very limited compared to the almost free range that PC players get access to i mean heck until they add the feature (if they ever do) we have to build blueprints from the ground up every new game we do were as PC can copy there save data to a new world if they want

[robust crypt]

I know i have a" pc mindset" but im doing what i can to help with the tools I have. Most ppl have access to google docs via there phone. So its how I can help.

[uneven jolt]

I watch totalxplise and some of his blueprints are in his videos which sometimes he shows how to do. Most of his blueprints are on his Patreon which does help me considering I cant use them. Hence why I said what I said

[surreal lichen]

To be fair, building new blueprints with each save is essentially the intended experience

Why play the same game each time? Building new blueprints lets you evolve and iterate your builds, etc. The fact that PC players can copy blueprints around is sort of a side effect, not an intended feature. :)

(Which is, more or less, why there's no "native" way to move blueprints between saves)

I agree that it'd be nice for console users to have some way to copy blueprints if they want, though

[robust crypt]

This is how I play

[surreal lichen]

Yeah, I've literally never copied a blueprint from one save to another. :D

[gritty karma]

i mean not super upset that cant move them admittingly 800+ hrs one world so no room to complain until start a new world when 1.2 starts but yeah if i had the choice of bp save transfer or ability to say see hd, slugs, object limit, and all that similar to how PC can drop there save file on the satisfactory calculator site i would for sure take the later rather see data on stuff then have bp transfers unless i somehow got some crazy bps to work that would fill the overall space of a mk3 bp designer lol

[surreal lichen]

(Or used someone else's blueprint, for that matter -- that feels just icky to me. I don't quite understand that impulse, though to each their own)

[south yarrow]

yesss yess

its fun :L

[uneven jolt]

Its not playing the same game each time. Its using what works and building on it.

With everything coming in 1.2 being able to carry over some blueprints (trains for example) would shorten some of the time

[lean peak]

Quick question I’m sure has been posted many times, but other than setting up your own second console are there any companies offering dedicated servers for consoles yet?

[robust crypt]

there is not dedicated servers for consoles at all

[lean peak]

Ty for the reply

[raven leaf]

Will this game have a physical release?

[robust crypt]

I think there was a limited premium run

But generally Speaking

no there is no physical release

[robust crypt]

they do have a merch store though

[robust crypt]

this is the closet thing you can get

How do I undo swatches I accidentally made one Color to be for pipes but how do I make the Color back to the default colour

[modern heart]

You right click on the pipe swatch and set that as the pipe default

[plucky sonnet]

I’m on an Xbox X. I’m not planning to do mega factories but there’s still a lot to build to finish. If object limits is a real issue, should I hold off decorating and adding loads of lights until nearer the end or is it a non-issue?

[queen garden]

Object limit is really high

How much deco you can do is entirely dependent on how many fps you want

[wary chasm]

Do people use caterium or aluminium for making ficsite ingots which ore is more commonly used

[surreal lichen]

I used all three recipes on my 1.0 save

[wary chasm]

Well which one is the easiest one todo and which one is least reasoures demanding?

[surreal lichen]

Depends what resources you currently value the most, as with most alt recipe choices! Which may vary considerably depending on where you're building the factory (hence why I'd ended up using all three)

the Aluminum version is the most SAM efficient, but obviously uses up Aluminum to do so, which makes it the most complex production chain (and, if you value Bauxite more than SAM, potentially the most expensive)

Iron+Caterium are simpler production lines but aren't as SAM-efficient

As always with alt recipes, there isn't a "better" or "worse," there's just "recipes which are appropriate for a specific situation" and "recipes which aren't as appropriate for that specific situation"

[surreal lichen]

I should maybe also mention that when I say I used all three, it wasn't because I was indecisive or regretted my decisions or anything

It was just that I was building Ficsite in various factories, as the need came up, which meant that there was often a different selection of "local" nodes to choose from

I admit there was also an element of merely Wanting To Try Them All Out™, since Ficsite was part of the new production lines added in 1.0. But I don't think that angle affected my recipe choices in any significant way

[wary chasm]

Um okay then thanks

[autumn mica]

Ok I’m going to try here cuz the other chat lacks common sense.
Haven’t paid attention to anything other than the trailer. I know these updates can take months to go in. But has anything been said on when they are trying to such as may be this month or still going to be a few months out

[robust crypt]

several months out. 1.1 took 3 months to come to main branch. 1.2 is much bigger and has way more bugs. so i expect a long experimental timeline.

[autumn mica]

Ok that’s good to know thank you for giving an actual answer to this question didn’t think that would be as hard as it was 🤣

[robust crypt]

Unfortunately the real answer is "when its ready" as the dev team will not release things to main until its ready.

I tell myself fall. This way if we get it sooner its a happy suprise ^-^

[autumn mica]

I’m fine with that answe I had a pc many years ago when this game was just getting start but life family so I sold it and got a Xbox.
Wasent asking as a complaint and I’m fine with the answe of its going to be a few months likely but who knows. Mainly asked incase there has been a projected target date set and it was in a week. Because didn’t want to spend hours setting up a factory when daisy chain is coming in a week but few months out I’ll get her done.
But the other group was just simple why you playing on Xbox just play the experimental pc better not a single fucking answer so I gave up in the normal chat don’t I said don’t have a pc so how tf you still going to say that

[robust crypt]

All good my dude.

[oblique plinth]

can we abbreviate fluid truck with fuck ?

[broken axle]

Hi guys I’m pretty new to this game and I just bought it on console, I’m having a little bit or trouble and was wondering if I can share my screen and show my beginner factory. And it would be awesome if you can use VC as well

[novel scarab]

Sure

What phase are you on?

[hot island]

Hey all! Since this week me and a friend have started playing Satisfactory (on Xbox). Now my friend has started a world so we can play together, now we are contemplating to make it a hosted server, so we can play when the other isn't online. Now I was wondering if it is possible to transfer this world we have now, to be the world for a hosted server. That way we won't lose our progression. Is this possible, and if so, any advice on where to host, and how we can do this?

[novel scarab]

I don't think console can host dedicated servers

Of course, you could always make an alt account and have it AFK the game forever

If you have a secondary console system, if not I don't see why one person couldn't leave a console on during the day with the world up.

[hot island]

Ah, shame. Well thanks for the answer! Don't think we'll do the secondary account thing. but We'll see. cheers!

[robust crypt]

There is no dedicated server support on console

[worthy hearth]

My TV has a 4hr timer till it shuts off, if the TV goes off my system goes off, as well as the system turn off settings, leave it on till the nearest time runs low and show some activity and walk away again

Im on ps5

Can't leave it on all day unless you show some activity on either

[wary chasm]

Can I transport more fluids via pipes if the maximum of a pipe can carry is max 600

[valid plaza]

second pipe

[robust crypt]

you can run as many pipes as you want as far as you want.

Although trouble shooting will likely drive you nuts. Backwash, sloshing, and such become issues over long distance

[spark palm]

Is a hypertube how do I change direction in an hypertube branch is that possible?

[surreal lichen]

Hit E as you approach the junction

Oh, sorry, didn't notice this was in the console channel

No clue what the controller button is. :D

[spark palm]

Is that a junction or branch

[robust crypt]

There is a popup on the hud that tells you what to do as you approach the branch or junction.

Be mindful that the non symmetrical option is not bidirectional

[spark palm]

I see the pop up on the tube but don't know the button

Nvm I got it

It's x

[robust crypt]

Awesome.

Im pc but I wanted to give you any info I can think of. Console players are not the most active here

[spark palm]

I can tell dw Ty for your input

[marble cloud]

I do wish console players were infact more active lol

Would be much easier to find help and friends 😂😂

[hearty cosmos]

I have time off until the 17th and no 1.2 on console 🙁 my RTX2060's gonna be set on fire by this game

[robust crypt]

Its runs okay on the 2060 (desktop)

My 3060 laptop struggles come late game but its a cpu bottleneck

[surreal lichen]

I'm still running the game on a crusty ol' GTX 1060

[willow flume]

anyone knows how to fix my shop. i added 3 thinks into my cart before updating and the 3 things is gone from the shop. cannot purchase doesnt exist in my build menu.

[spark palm]

What items and as in like U bought them and there unavailable or there not even visible put smt in screenshots and tag

[willow flume]

i added to cart but didnt purchase, updated to experimental and only found out after 8h more of progression

[spark palm]

I mean there probably gone

It's experimental for a reason bugs do happen

[willow flume]

is there any thing i must unlock to get it to show?

using satisfactory calculator but still cant see it

might have looked at the wrong category

yep was wrong category

[gritty karma]

I second this I mean only a handful that are actually active since what 90% of help in this channel is from our PC brethren

[robust crypt]

We try to help. But it's hard as we just don't have the exact same experience. We can help with game mechanics, layouts design ideas. But when it comes to glitches bugs and controls we are useless lol

[gritty karma]

Hey no worries I mean to be fair most of everything I know is thanks to people in here and PC player content creators

[marble cloud]

Hopefully one day I’ll own a pc so I can join the bigger community for satisfactory because I absolutly love the game and can’t wait to see where it goes

[gritty karma]

yeah i know that feeling i mean have a PC that should be able to handle the craziness of the game but certain other factors make it annoying but if certain IRL things fall into place ill definatly do the same and try this game among a handleful of other games on PC

[topaz basalt]

And how are you on Experimental on a console?
Or are you on wrong channel?

[willow flume]

Wrong channel

[bold flame]

How long will it take for 1.2 to arrive?

[wary chasm]

So how can I be able to transfer enough fluids that I need to even tho that fluid is over 600 without it driving me nuts

[modern heart]

You use multiple pipes side by side

But for a given pipeline, 600/min is the absolute max

if you need 900/min, thats at least 2 pipelines

[safe briar]

I accidentally drove an explorer into one of the big bottomless void pits by the plains biome. Is there anyway I can destroy or recover the explorer? Or is the marker for the explorer just always going to be there now?

[plucky sonnet]

I know the PC bunch could do it but how to do it on a console... you can remove the marker perhaps?

Or think of it as a grave marker?

[wary chasm]

How would I do that like how can I connect two pipes into like one input also can I not just use 1 mk2 pipe

[modern heart]

I need a better example from you here, like which factory
Because there is no single machine in the game that consumes more than 600/min

That only happens when you have multiple machines.

And for that you just use multiple, seperate pipelines

[wary chasm]

Oh I was referring to like placing down multiple blenders and refineries and just make the layout like a manifold

[modern heart]

Ok yeah that works of course.

But still, if those machines need like 900/min oil, you need to bring that oil in with 2 mk 2 pipes minimum

Mk 2 pipes only do 600/min.
Distributing the oil to machines is no problem with junctions you can input more than 600/min into a pipe network and have it work.

But the supply to that has to be at minimum 2 pipes if its more than 600/min fluid

You would need to supply the fluid to that manifold from both ends.

Though theres some more nuance to that

[wary chasm]

Oh I already have 3 pipes of oil and each one gets 600 crude oil it’s the water I’m having trouble with because I need more water then 600

[modern heart]

How is the water different

Each blender asks for x/min water

Group blenders so they at max use 600/min

If each Blender uses 100/min and you have like 15 blenders, group 6 blenders into one pipe.

You get 2 groups of 6 blenders and one group of 3 blenders

Thats 3 pipes total

[wary chasm]

Is using one pipe like still good or would I need to use 3 pipes

[modern heart]

Again: how much water do they need in total

If its more than 600, the answer is ALWAYS "yes you need more than 1 pipe for all of this"

[wary chasm]

100 but I’m overclocking them to 200% clock speed or 250%

[modern heart]

How many blenders total

[wary chasm]

Okay I’ll try to do that

[wary chasm]

6

[modern heart]

Then that might be 1200 water total

For that you would definitely need 2 pipes minimum

No way around that

[wary chasm]

I can’t use 1

[modern heart]

Do you understand how flow rate works

[wary chasm]

Nope

[modern heart]

Can you move 300/min iron plates on a mk 2 belt?

[wary chasm]

No I think the max is 270 otherwise the machines will back up or something

[modern heart]

Mk 2 belts do 120/min

[wary chasm]

Oh I was thinking of mk3 belts I think sorry

[modern heart]

Do you understand why you cannot put 300/min onto a single mk 2 belt and expect all machines to work

[wary chasm]

Yeah but I thought it doesn’t work like that with pipes

[modern heart]

It does

The limit of a pipe is the same way as with belts

[wary chasm]

I didn’t know that

[modern heart]

The only difference is that you have splitters and mergers in one

So things can go both ways and you can split / merge from multiple points

A pipe network is comparable to a "belt network" with splitters and mergers

Can you move 300/min iron plates with a mk 2 belt "network" somehow?

[wary chasm]

Nope idk how to so I just always use the next lvl belts

[modern heart]

You use multiple belts.
And when you use splitters to remove materials from a belt, you can then merge more material back onto the next belts

[wary chasm]

Oh okay I’ll try todo that does the same thing work with pipes

[modern heart]

Yeah. If you take stuff off from a pipe you can then add more stuff to it later

[wary chasm]

What do u mean?

[modern heart]

Wish i could post an image here

[wary chasm]

Why can’t you?

[modern heart]

But that link should explain

Yellow dashed line is pipes. when 2 or more pipes meet theres a junction there

[wary chasm]

Okay uk thanks I kinda get it

[wary chasm]

So it’s kinda like a balancer system but for pipes?

[modern heart]

Yes

[wary chasm]

Cool

[modern heart]

Not quite but yes

[wary chasm]

Huh?

[modern heart]

It doesnt perfectly balance it

But it works just as well

Idk, forget what i said and just pretend its a balancer

[wary chasm]

Um okay then

[robust crypt]

McGalleon know his stuff. I have no input

[gritty karma]

Can agree @modern heart definitely knows what they are saying in this case 100%

[wary chasm]

Is plastic more needed to make other late game items or is it rubber?

[hallow turtle]

for plastic and rubber you can technically have a dynamic factory

you can't make 100% plastic or 100% rubber, but it'll adapt to what you use

[raw seal]

Is it possible to control how splitters distribute items like on pc or is it at a fixed 1 to 1 ratio?

[wary chasm]

So I should make both as both are gonna be needed? For something

[hallow turtle]

it's a bit more complicated than that, where in the game are you rn?

[hallow turtle]

like on pc?

[hallow turtle]

it's a whatever the output allows ratio

i have no idea how programmable splitters work though

that might be the solution

[raw seal]

I’ve scene videos where people can control how a splinter distributes items so like 2 from conveyor A then 1 from B

[hallow turtle]

you're describing a merger here

[raw seal]

Ye that haha sorry

[hallow turtle]

i do not remember this being possible tbh

but i'll check

[hallow turtle]

(not with just a merger, but you can definitely achieve this

[hallow turtle]

but uuuh, why do you need this? are you making a sushi belt?

[raw seal]

More curious haha I’ve played like 20h n hadn’t discovered how to do it

[hallow turtle]

well.. there is something at least a bit close, the priority merger

Anyone else encounter error code CE-100002-3 on PS5? I was just playing and the servers refreshed and it caused a crash. And now whenever I load or save the game it pops up with this error and claims one of my save files is corrupted. I'm still able to save and load from them, but every autosave now brings up this error. Anyone know how to fix this?

[robust crypt]

its from playstation

tyhis is from there website

If this error occurs, the update file for the application may not have been installed successfully. Please try the following steps: Restart your PlayStation®5 console. If your system software is not up to date, please update it to the latest version.

[onyx forge]

I already restarted. And the game and system are both up to date

[robust crypt]

Restart your PlayStation®5 console.If your system software is not up to date, please update it to the latest version. Go to Settings > System > System Software > System Software Updates and Settings.If the issue persists, select the application from the home screen, press the options button and delete the application. Reinstall the application and update it to the latest version. "

thats all its says on the playstation website.

Sorry wish i could help more

[onyx forge]

Yeah I suppose I'll just have to try deleting the app and reinstalling. I'm hoping that works. I finally got to start work on my turbo motor factory today after 500 hours in the game. I don't think I have what it takes to start from scratch ngl

[robust crypt]

fair make sure your cloud saves are up to date

[onyx forge]

I mean, I can still access the save file so I could still play it, it'd just be hell to deal with that error code every time I want to save. I'd have to turn off autosaves but even that is not optimal because those autosaves have been useful quite a few times.

[onyx forge]

I don't think I had anything uploaded to the cloud tbh

[robust crypt]

does playstation no longer back your saves top the cloud? it was a ps4 feature

[onyx forge]

I think if you have PS+ it does? Though I don't know if that's an automatic thing. Idk it's been ages since I bought PS+

[robust crypt]

fair

[onyx forge]

Well I just re downloaded it. Same issue :/

[robust crypt]

No posts on the offical satisfactory qa site

[onyx forge]

Ah

I did find something on some forum that it might be due to an object limit cap or something. But I'm not sure where i found that

It sucks cause I was doing fine until that server refresh happened. Rarely had crashes or bugs.

[robust crypt]

Im finding this error code for lots of other games though on redit and Youtube

[onyx forge]

Yeah

[robust crypt]

I doubt that its the object limit that usually shows up in other ways

[onyx forge]

I've also heard that it's something to do with corrupt files. But I already deleted all my old save files and made new saves. But I think that just made sure the new ones were corrupted

[onyx forge]

Even a complete database rebuild couldn't fix this

So now it's referencing a save file that doesn't exist. It keeps saying that autosave_0 has a problem, even though I deleted all my autosaves hoping that'd fix the corruption.

[robust crypt]

😐

[onyx forge]

I made a post on the forum. Hopefully someone will have a solution :/ it's just really discouraging

[topaz basalt]

On PC the game will not show corrupt saves... But you can delete them via OS.
And console version probably also contains that filter code...
But on consoles you cannot deal with any saves that are invisible inside the game...

So the save is still there, just invisible.
And there is no way currently to deal with it except nuking all the game stored data, including all other saves, from the console settings...

Playing until that specific autosave gets overwritten might work.

If possible.

[marble cloud]

PlayStation does still backup your data to cloud ONLY if you purchase a ps plus

Otherwise it won’t it allow your PlayStation to upload or receive

[snow cloud]

[vernal violet]

Why is my pipline flow rate going to zero in some segments

My pumps stop working

Flow rate is zero

I’m on Xbox.

[marble igloo]

More context?

[vernal violet]

The flow rate on my pipes is zero despite some segments having pressure

[marble igloo]

Likely a bug rebuild the segments that aren’t getting flow

It’s never happened to me, but I’ve heard of it happening

[vernal violet]

Some segments have a loading circle

[marble igloo]

???

[vernal violet]

Where the flow indicator is it’s filled with a circle spinning

[marble igloo]

1, make sure the entire pipeline is working properly by deleting it and replacing it 2, make sure your extractors are powered

[vernal violet]

Ok

[marble igloo]

Pipes going through floor/wall holes may also be the problem

[vernal violet]

No floor or wall holes just on the ground outside

[marble igloo]

Mm are you aware of head lift?

Extractors only supply 10 meters of the head lift meaning fluids cannot flow properly at anything higher than 10 unless you use pumps

im not a console player, but i say try use the most recent save, whatever that date might be, and if its your most recent one, keep playing on it and itll update to the correct time when it autosaves

[visual pasture]

Thanks for your reply, I'll follow your advice.

[regal storm]

Jemand deutsch?

[autumn mica]

Want to know if there’s a better fix or anyone running into this. Really the only person who has offered helping hand in my world with decent skill just about every time he joins I have to kill him. Because he’s stuck loading untill it fails and I have to reset him to hub. At first I thought it was due to factory sizes but seems it’s no matter what.

[buoyant goblet]

Does anyone else on console have issues with multiplayer Satisfactory by any chance?

[rapid wind]

Yeah I have one but I might know what causes mine. what issue is it your having?

[buoyant goblet]

It's been a slow progression for over the last month. It at 1st was just general lag for the client and less so for the host. Over the last week however, it's been consistent crashing frequently with some strong lag spikes. As of today, the world will crash on multi-player whenever it autosaves.

The last part didn't happen until we finally completed phase 3 tonight

[rapid wind]

Ah so not same as mine then.
I've not encountered that issue (only crashed once). Mine was for friends joining my world, they would occasionally get a error joining but I think it's related to my nat type

We're still on stage 2 ATM so will see if we get that issue soon when we pass stage 3 this week

[buoyant goblet]

PS5 or Xbox?

[buoyant goblet]

I would say around mid way into phase 3 is when lag issues started to appear btw after I had build a few bigger factories.

[rapid wind]

Ps5, I'm just starting the layout of my larger factories for phase 3 (I'm also playing on pc so I know what's coming up)

[wary chasm]

Idk I can I think I can

[rapid wind]

Could you check when you have a chance please? Rather find out it's a glitch on my save game now instead of when I'm about to complete tier 4/5😅

[hot island]

Am I doing something wrong, or am I not able to put a blueprint, as a build into the blueprint designer?

I have made a blueprint, and demolished it for the resources, now I need to expand said blueprint, but when I select the blueprint, I can't build it in the blueprint designer, to save a new blueprint

Nvm, found it. A part was sticking out, which caused it to think it was outside of the blueprint designer

[wary chasm]

Okay I’ll check if I can change swatches with different colours and stuff when I can

Okay ive just checked and I can I can L2 I’m on ps5 and see the swatch list and I can choose what ever thing on the list and the Color changes and stuff seems to be working fine for me but idk how to remove the ticked sign on the active swatch list thing

[rapid wind]

Could you edit the Swatchs to your own colour options and save them? I can see/use them but only default ones

[peak sandal]

How do I submit a crash bug for console?

Do they get the crash reports PlayStation sends?

[robust crypt]

we dont know what data they get. in the Main menu there is a link to the QA site all bug reports should be placed there.

I reinstalled the game and it now works😅 for now atleast

[silver hatch]

Could anyone help? What should I do with 4.5 industrial containers full of power shards?

I have a factory for that already.

And 10 containers of it

Ionizwd fuel

I already produce like 500 A min of ionized fuel.

Good idea

[random timber]

I have just got unlocked upto t8 and looking to make my base much larger then the bare essentials.

I am just can't rap my head around how to go about the layout or what items to make and in what volumes.

I have played just over 100hrs now on this paticular go through.

Any advice would be very much appreciated.

[random timber]

Thanks, it will make planning easier.

Its funny, on youtube it looks so simple, I guess in a way it is, but playing the game is so different.

[marble cloud]

I be in the same boat brother😂 I can do it just don’t know where to start

[surreal lichen]

My main bit of advice is to not have a "main base" in general. Whenever you need something new, make a whole new factory for it, from ore->product

For late game products that might be difficult to have all in one location; I'll often have "sub-factories" linked together for some of that, but for ease of planning/building, it's all still isolated from any other production line

The other part of that is that when I'm deciding how much to make of something, it's basically only for my own personal build-gun use. How quickly do I want that storage to fill up?

Then when some other factory needs more of that resource, it just makes more right inside that new totally-isolated factory (which, indeed, may have one or more subfactories)

It's an easier mindset to get into earlier in the game when production chains are simpler, though IMO it pays dividends in the late game especially

[lone gate]

how do i put a weird number of recourses into a constructor? like 76

[meager fulcrum]

[bold flame]

Hi it’s when the final version of the 1.2 I’m too impatient it must have been a little more than 2-3 weeks already since it was announced in exp I ask in case there was news

[muted torrent]

Soon^TM

[bold flame]

Soon like really close or still very far just to have a little clue 👀

[muted torrent]

To word it like this: if I was allowed to say, or hint at it, every time someone asks on any platform, you'd know long, long ago

[brave vortex]

Hello mikael

[gritty karma]

They did say a few months on the exp announcement stream so rough guess probably be end of May or end of June at the very least timewise but that is only a guess, I mean was March 17th when it went onto the exp branch

[bold flame]

Oh ok thks you

[dry crow]

different question! is it possible to have a material stored (like excess) and also have the material be sent somewhere else like an assembler?

[raw seal]

Anyone know how to use the nudge feature? I see it a lot on YouTube for pc but doesn’t show for me on console?

[dry crow]

on console if you're on xbox the half nudge is your right joystick and you use the D-pad and i think the direction matters

[surreal lichen]

Not sure exactly what you mean, but via the MAM you can unlock a "Smart Splitter" which lets you define what goes on which output. One of the options there is "Overflow" -- so you can have all material go out via one exit, and then once that fills up, the material starts going to the Overflow output

[clever echo]

Me and my friend can't join eachother, I'm on Xbox he's on PS5. Epic Games knows we are friends because when we tried to unadd and add eachother back, we got in game notifications, we are both sure we have everything right

[modern heart]

Possible that everything is right. That issue is one that generally has no clear answer

Not even the devs have one for that at this time

[light fiber]

Item stack bug right, thats probably the single biggest issue in 1.2, because its game breaking

[modern heart]

no, Xbox PS5 crossplay

[dry crow]

I probably shouldn't have used excess I was just wondering if there was a way to produce a material, for example screws, I was wondering if there was a way to have them be split to go into a storage container and then the other half go into an assembler but I think I'll just worry about it once I progress further into the game. Right now I'm just trying to understand manifolds if you're able to help with that

[surreal lichen]

So yeah, if you've got something (like Screws) on a belt, you can send that belt into a splitter. The splitter's got three outputs -- you can hook belts up to as many of those as you want

So if you have two "outgoing" belts, then the splitter will send one Screws down one belt, then the next Screws down the other (so long as there's room), back and forth

So long as neither belt "clogs up" then each output would be getting 50% of the total Screws going into the splitter

If you hooked up all three belts and none of them clog up, then each output would get a third of the Screws going in

So, indeed, you could have one of those belts going to an Assembler, and another belt going to a storage container

As for a manifold, that's all actually quite apropos. A manifold is just when you've got a line of machines which all need the same resource, and you just put a single splitter in front of each one and send the resource "down the line"

[S]: Splitter | [M]: Merger | [B]: Building

              [M] ---> [M] ---> [M] ---> [M] ---> [Output]
               ^        ^        ^        ^
               |        |        |        |
              [B]      [B]      [B]      [B]
               ^        ^        ^        ^
               |        |        |        |
[Source] ---> [S] ---> [S] ---> [S] ---> [S]

At first, when it first starts up, the machine at the front is getting "too much" material, and the ones further down are getting too little. The first one's getting 50%, and all the others have to share the remaining 50%

But the magic happens becasue the input buffer on the first machine fills up pretty quickly, 'cause it can't handle that full 50% of the belt. Once that happens, the belt going into the machine clogs up too

And then, when the splitter can't send more material into that first machine, it gets sent down the line instead

So now it's the next machine getting too much material, so it will clog up, and so on. After awhile, everything in the manifold is getting exactly what it needs! (So long as you're sending in enough material, and your belts are fast enough. :)

Note that the last two machines in a manifold will generally have hardly anything in their input buffers; they'll be getting just exactly what they need; it's all the ones up until then which will end up with full input buffers

[dry crow]

And you can repeat this right? Like have different manifold machines producing different stuff (like iron rods and screws) as long as they all have they require the same input/source?

And thanks for the confirmation on the splitter my belts are kinda wonky but I think I have a way to split them all. And thanks for the information on manifolds :)

[surreal lichen]

Yep, so long as your belt can support the rate you need, you can keep on sending it down the line. :)

[dry crow]

Okay, thank you

that makes the manifolds process make a lot more sense now

[dry crow]

is there somewhere to go to see whats the best alternate recipe decisions? i found my first one its wet concrete vs the modular frame (but i hear you should try to go screwless in a factory) theres also a reroll option, it says only one reroll i dont know if thats in total or per hard drive

[surreal lichen]

The reroll is per hard drive. If you don't like either of the two choices you're offered at first, you can always hit reroll to get a different 2 choices. You've got that option for every hard drive you scan

As for what to choose, though: alt recipes are all about giving you options while building. There's no "good" or "bad," though there are recipes which are more specialized than others. But they're all at least situationally useful

So you trade one resource for another, or you trade complexity for resource efficiency, etc, etc

There are more hard drives on the map than you can use -- if you keep up with exploration you can unlock literally all recipes and have hard drives to spare

So my advice is always to just flip a coin and pick one at random if you're not sure. Then when you're building you'll have those extra tools in your toolkit to help build the next factory

(In the interests of even-handedness: other folks will recommend you just keep the drives unredeemed in your library if you're not sure now, so you can go choose them later. IMO that's a strategy which could work for an experienced player who's already familiar with the recipes and knows what they want to do with any given factory, but not good for folks still getting used to the game. Just redeem and Go Find More Drives™ is my advice. :)

Oh, and as for screws: screws are fine! Don't avoid them just because they're screws. If you've got a production line that you like which happens to omit screws, then sure, go ahead and do that

But don't avoid them just because they're screws. One thing that really helps with screws is to make them right in front of the machine which needs them, rather than trying to make them in one area and then routing them around. Slow belts + high-throughput resources == pain. If you avoid moving them around your factory, you'll have a better time. :)

[dry crow]

Okay! Thanks for the information again, there is another hard drive near my current base too so I'll just redeem them all like you stated!

Thanks again!

[dry crow]

hi, i finally found a water source for the water miner thingy for coal, however i used a tractor to get there and when i step off it says something about radiation...?

do i have to further progress through the game for radiation or is there other water sources in non-radiated areas? (if they exist?)

[valid gust]

Idk about radiation as I haven’t got that far yet but there are other water sources that aren’t radiated

Rocky desert is a good biome as it has coal nodes right next to water

[dry crow]

im in grassland

idk if rocky is far or anything still kinda was just exploring the map

im stuck waiting for my health to recover though cause my tractor ran out of fuel..

[surreal lichen]

Yeah, radiation on the map is actually pretty rare -- there are a lot of spots on the map with coal+water which don't have any radiation around

If you're looking for spots for coal power, my advice would be to make sure you've got a spot which has 3-4 coal nodes right next to decent-sized bodies of water. Makes your life much easier

Make the power plant right there next to both the coal+water.

There's a few spots that are good from that which are north/northwest from Grass Fields. May be a bit of a hike to get there, but you can just drag power poles behind you

[dry crow]

Ohh, I was wondering what you were supposed to do because I found coal nodes but there was no water so I just assumed you had to make insanely long pipes or something 😭

makes more sense to find coal + water next to each other though

does that mean you're supposed to move base or?

i dunno if theres a way to connect all the power back to base

[surreal lichen]

Not move base, but the game will be frequently encouraging you to expand. :)

It may use the term "outpost."

[dry crow]

ahh okay

[surreal lichen]

Lots of littler factories, sited near the nodes that are most convenient for it

You're not obligated to follow that encouragement, of course, but IMO it makes for much easier building in the long run

[dry crow]

that should be fine then, i just have the factories to make smart plating

so its not a lot

[surreal lichen]

Yeah, just power poles are fine. You can unlock "Power Towers" in the MAM I think, which are a bit easier for long-range power cabling, though I think you need steel for those

The approach I most often recommend re: expansion is this, btw: https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Tutorial:Independency

[dry crow]

I don't have steel yet so I'd have to do power poles but hopefully theres other nodes nearby to setup more factories

[surreal lichen]

Yeah, it's a huge map with a lot of resources out there

[dry crow]

yeah, thanks for the wiki link by the way! i'm sure it'll be more helpful once i get to the resources they covered

oh is uranium radioactive

that would explain why i was dying in grassland areas then 💀

[surreal lichen]

Heh, yes, Uranium's radioactive. :)

If you've got any in your inventory be sure to get it out quick!

(Note that there's a weird bug where if you sort your inventory with radiaoctive material in it, and then drop the material, you'll remain radioactive in that session. A save/reload gets rid of that)

[dry crow]

I don't think I have the bug, I just sorted my inventory so my deathbox just has the uranium in it

Also, I found a water source deep enough but theres no nodes nearby and its like 500 ish meters away from main base, is it best to just continue to find a source with coal nodes?

[surreal lichen]

Keep searching! The "best" spots for coal power tend to be about 1km away from the usual grass fields start. :)

Keep following the pings that are taking you North/Northwest

[dry crow]

Okay. Thank you!

Found a spot!

It has 4 coal nodes nearby

[dry crow]

oh another quick question, since coal will be more power efficient and it'll be better to build up new factories there, should i move the space station near it?

[surreal lichen]

Up to you! You can move around the Space Elevator and HUB all you want without losing progress, so if you want to move them, go for it

[dry crow]

thank u :)

[dry crow]

hello again! i have a question about building vertically? theres 4 iron nodes about two mountains up from where my water extractor and stuff is, am i supposed to build the factories on top of the mountain then just connect with power lines (if you can do that vertically) or am i supposed to use conveyor lifts to bring it all down to the 'floor'?

[robust crypt]

personally i prefer moving solids nopt fluids

[robust crypt]

this can help

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/wYyvq1Jr0z4

[dry crow]

i don't have floor holes unlocked yet unfortunately

[dry crow]

wdym? the iron is a solid

i just meant connecting power when i was asking about the water extractor

[robust crypt]

You mentioned a water extractor. From this i tookj you are going to use Pure Iron. which is a recipe that takes iron ore and water to make iron ingots. This makes 1.8 ingots for every one ore. The base recipe is one ore = one ingot

both are valid i just made the assumption

[dry crow]

Oh no, sorry I don't even think I have that recipe yet lol, I just meant about like connecting the miners on the mountain to the iron nodes

I was wondering was i supposed to use lifts to bring the iron down and build factories near the water extractor

that way power is easy to connect

Or build on the mountain since theres multiple nodes

[robust crypt]

either is valid, its a sandbox game. You could place the miners then bring the ore half way down the mountain and make a factory that perched in the mountian side

[dry crow]

hmm i see, thank you

[robust crypt]

the game is mostly built upon your choices. This makes every playthrough diffrent. Choosing a Different recipe means different costs and resources put in. this compounds of the course of the game making evry playthrough unique

[dry crow]

nvm found the answer!

does anyone know how to build multiple manifolds w/ the same input requirement?

[still lance]

Anyone on ps5 can help with us with something. Got water problems.

[dry crow]

I've saw this picture, but I'm still kind of confused, would I split the smelters into different mergers or...?

The plan is to link the materials to assemblers and storage anyways

Mainly assemblers for now to finish the objective

[robust crypt]

click the link ^)^ It expl;ains it

[dry crow]

I have, it's just hard to still grasp without any visuals..?

[robust crypt]

so it functions by making sure your belt input for the manifold is equal or higher then the parts needed. each machine will overflow then onkly except what it needs per cycle sending hte remaining amounts to the next machine and so on
