satisfactory

[wet shoal]

Just turn the byproduct into a sinkable solid then.

And if the byproduct is a liquid that is used by a previous step, you can just feed it into a seperate loop of the same production, and eliminate it completely. Like in aluminum production where water is a byproduct, but also required by the refinery.

[hidden sparrow]

We're speaking of minimum buildings to beat satisfactory tho

[wet shoal]

Oh well then.

Gotta flush a lot lmao

[hidden sparrow]

The crafting table would burn

[wet shoal]

Silly goals require silly actions

[placid stirrup]

Buffers if ya want to prolong non-automation

[wet shoal]

A cubic kilometre of pipes should buffer a fair bit.

[hidden sparrow]

The max buffer possible would be the inventory and hub chest

[hidden sparrow]

I confirm LMAO

600km of pipes in that save :)

[wet shoal]

But are pipes buildings

be carefully to not accidentally build a house with them

[hidden sparrow]

Mmmm fair point

I mean i'd say it count as a building

[wet shoal]

If you wanna have a WR on least possible buildings you probably just need to sink ore for a quadrillion years.
Ficsit coupons should allow you to unlock most of the milestones with adequate handcrafting

[nocturne nebula]

when preparing for phase 2 and needing 1000 smart plating and other resources, what Per min target do you guys go for?

[wet shoal]

I went with 5 / min, slooped to double.

[nocturne nebula]

goodness me sloops!

still haven't found my first, or even sam ore

[wet shoal]

Look under the arch

[nocturne nebula]

hmmm, I am not that far away ... time to venture!

[wet shoal]

Bring ladders

[nocturne nebula]

I might double from 10pm cos there is nothing left to unlock until the phase is completed

yeah, lol

[wet shoal]

I just spent any "waiting" time collecting snails, sloops and spheres

[nocturne nebula]

good call

[hidden sparrow]

Tho the sink and shop would be considered buildings, so not using them would be better than using them

[nocturne nebula]

guys the torch is too bright, and without it I cannot see ... how can I turn it down please?

[placid stirrup]

might want to play with your settings for this

[hidden sparrow]

Turn ur screen luminosity down ?

[static surge]

I need 100 of the fluctuators to make unlock slooping so ill just manually craft :(

[nocturne nebula]

fun fun

[wispy blade]

hello i have a question is 6 heavy modular frame per minute any good for first world or it is very poor amount for future recepis?

[tall lantern]

worry about future stuff when you get to it

[wispy blade]

very wisdom(i dont said it ironicli)

[nocturne nebula]

focus on what you need to build (costs of building) and expand your factory first 🙂

[wispy blade]

ok thanks

[nocturne nebula]

and go VERTICAL 😛

[wispy blade]

why?

[mossy moon]

more than enoguh for storage and prob enough for later if you dont plan to go crazy with some high tech item

[mossy moon]

if you want bcs why not. that 3rd dimention really increases how much you can fit in the world

[wispy blade]

ok i was worry that its not enougt because making 6 per minute reqiues insaine amouth of stuff

[wispy blade]

ye i gusse its true specially for bigger factory

[mossy moon]

yeah its famous for how anoying it is to make. funy memes from it exist tho

[static surge]

time to manually craft 100 SAM fluctuators

yayy im sooooo excited

[white dawn]

Heh, it is a shame it takes so long to be able to automate those

Though I suppose Depots have to have some downside. :P

[static surge]

yeah I could but I would need to transport all the SAM

[static surge]

i'm doing it to unlock slooping lol

[white dawn]

If you've got manufacturers, there's no need to transport SAM; just make 'em right near the SAM node and send 'em to a Depot. :)

[rancid turret]

yeah automating and depoting fluctuators was one of the first 1.0 things I did

[static surge]

need the steel and wire though

[white dawn]

Steel and Wire are easy to come by; just make 'em onsite

Plenty of locations where you can do that with pretty short belts

[static surge]

ig

kinda dumb that slooping takes two sloops

its so expensive

[white dawn]

Slooping takes a number of sloops equal to the machine's inputs

Constructors take 1, assemblers 2, manufacturers 4, etc

You can also partially sloop a machine; don't have to put them all in

[rancid turret]

get the iron pipe recipe

[static surge]

have it already

[rancid turret]

with iron wire, you only need iron

[static surge]

dont have iron wire, really wanna get it tho

[rancid turret]

it's super helpful

[static surge]

yea

[white dawn]

You misspelled "balanced" there btw. :P

[old canyon]

Except for particle accelerators which have 3 inputs and take 4 sloops

[mossy moon]

oh thats why they chose those numbers, i thought they just increased with how complex the machine and that was just decided by the devs

[mossy moon]

nvm then

[azure swan]

You could consider the 20GW of power the thing eats to be an item if that makes you feel better.

[median drift]

Encoders are even worse.

[mossy moon]

well i casually slooped all mine (whcih are 2 of them making the two itesm that arent space elevator parts)

no 3 mb theres the powershard one at a difernet location acorss the map

[median drift]

Goodness me man.

[mossy moon]

idk some 1000 fuel gens seem enough. im now starting up nuclear bcs ik i will need more for space elevator parts.

also thinking about slooping my 4 nuclear pasta machines to make more portals (pasta is my bottle neck for the portal shit)

[median drift]

I need to know what they look like.

Half the reason I oversloop things is so I can see those cool purple and pink flames 🔥

[mossy moon]

all the reason for me is they nice and saves half the work needed but too bad im nearly out and have 8 left

[median drift]

Love the noises overslooped machines make too.

BRAWWA
HUAHM
MMMMMM

[mossy moon]

my favourite sounds are the power augmenter tho

(still related to sloops)

[quick meteor]

I have a world. It’s five years old, and I started it back in 2020.
I keep coming back to it, it’s basically at the end of tier 8, but the r world is a massive mess

[white dawn]

Oh good call! Forgot about that. :P Okay, so it's slightly more handwavey than number of inputs

[quick meteor]

The problem is I hate starting over in games, especially when it’s back to absolutely nothing

[white dawn]

Well, it could very well have been that too. As Trek pointed out, Accelerators have three inputs but take four sloops. :P

[white dawn]

APM-enhanced APAs are A+

Really love those effects (both visual and sound)

That's reward in itself for automating the APMs

[quick meteor]

Also, what do you prefer, trains or drones
Trains only need electricity for power but need a lot of infrastructure and drones need fuel but no infrastructure

I’m thinking just reworking my current world into a big drone hub

[white dawn]

IMO all the available logistics options are quite good within their niches. I use all of 'em

[quick meteor]

Even trucks?

[white dawn]

Yeah, I love 'em (though I use tractors a lot more frequently than trucks)

I admit that once I unlock drones I'm far more likely to use those than the other options, for mid-to-long-range transfers. The near-total lack of required infrastructure is difficult to argue with

Though I still like running at least passenger rail to new factories/areas, so it's not like I completely disregard that

[quick meteor]

The biggest problem I have with drones is that the animation for docking is so long

[white dawn]

(And vehicles are great for shorter-range things throughout the game)

[quick meteor]

It’s like a three minute animation

[white dawn]

Eh, the only thing that matters is throughput. If you need a second (or third) drone then you need more drones, c'est la vie. :)

[static surge]

my dog just gave me a nuclear bomb

what do i even use it for

[static surge]

isn't hypertube faster?

[white dawn]

Maybe, but I just don't tend to build hypertube networks; always difficult for me to justify the work when I'm building rail infrastructure anyway

Easy enough to just hop on a train and watch the scenery go by. :)

[static surge]

Makes sense

[white dawn]

Mostly I just use hypertubes locally, to get to various parts of a factory

(In the past I have used tubes for factory-to-factory travel though; maybe with 1.1 coming up I'll start doing more of that again. The junctions and such look nice)

(Also, I realize I could just include tubes inside my rail-pillar blueprints and essentially get them for free. I just don't tend to do that, is all. :D)

I suppose part of is is that psychologically I don't really want a tube network to follow rails exactly, though. Like a tube network should complement a rail network instead of just duplicating it.

Personal preference stuff for sure, though!

[static surge]

You could just build a hypertube cannon

don't have to travel all the way there, just build a cannon and aim it in the general direction of your destination, it can go up to 2-3km/s

I have one that takes me like 1.5 km in just 5-10 seconds

(with jetpack)

[junior laurel]

God damn it you gave me an idea

[static surge]

what

[junior laurel]

I want to make a video of a factory and now I want to have it so a series of belts, hypercannons, bounce pads all perfectly lined up to allow me to press record, jump on the starting belt and just move my mouse around a bit for framing while the series of transport chaos goes around the entire project

[static surge]

sounds fun

[junior laurel]

throws onto the pile of the other 6092134 other things I need to do on this project

[static surge]

real

you should get a doggo btw

they're insanely OP

[junior laurel]

I kill them on site

[static surge]

I've gotten a nuke nobelisk, 9 turbo motors (both of which I'm not supposed to unlock yet), a yellow power slug, and some computers. and a handful of highspeed connectors

[white dawn]

I could, yeah, but I generally don't. Too "cheaty" for me (though, like tube networks, I have used 'em in the past)

[static surge]

WHYYYYY

[nocturne nebula]

do fluid pipes need pump over distance, or just height?

[white dawn]

Just height. Pumps set "head lift," which is how far up they can go

They don't really "pump" like a real-life pump would

[green fiber]

they do still push fluid out

so sorta like a real pump

[junior laurel]

Many moons ago back in 2018 when the alpha for this game started, I was the first one to have a doggo jump in front of me while I was attacking the little bug bastards, they used to be much more annoying back then mind you!
I killed it and I felt terrible, but upon looking at the body I saw "Press [E] to pet the creature"
I reported the bug and every update I killed one to see if they have fixed this bug, after years of updates and hundreds of patches I killed countless doggos and started to just do it on instinct, to this day you still get "Press [E] to pet lizard doggo" after killing one.

[static surge]

evil person

[vivid jackal]

tbh the best line in a satisfactory was i just realized i am the alien invasion

[junior laurel]

I'm a cult leader what do you expect?

Also I am just doing my job as someone who finds bugs >:(

[static surge]

you could kill one every update instead of massacring them

[junior laurel]

After the amount of patches we've seen, is there a difference?

[random wasp]

should i prioritize making alclad ingots or keep a lot as aluminum

[white dawn]

How I handle aluminum is: Essentially max out a bauxite node making ingots. Send all those ingots to a sink. Then as other factories need aluminum products (sheets/casings/heatsinks/tanks), I set up however many are needed off of that line, and over time the amount of ingots being sunk shrinks. Eventually the supply of ingots is about exhausted, at which point it's time to spin up another aluminum factory elsewhere

[random wasp]

didnt even think of using sinks to control excess

thanks

[white dawn]

Yeah, for systems which involve fluids especially I tend to like keeping them running at 100% if possible, so I've got sinks galore. (I do it for basically all factories anyway, but fluids are where I really want it solid)

[azure swan]

Has anyone else had issues where snapping a pump directly to the head lift indicator bubble doesnt work out? This has happened to me a ton, more times than not. I usually end up having to place another pump prior somewhere down the line cause the head lift wasn't actually getting fluid to the bubble.

(1.0)

[white dawn]

Yeah, fluid flow at the very limit of headlift can be a bit unreliable; I always recommend placing a little ways below that

Pumps are cheap; if you end up having an extra few here and there, you'll still be fine

[pure venture]

Why is satisfactory so addicting?

[junior laurel]

Because it is satisfying

[pure venture]

But is it satisfactory?

[low helm]

if it gives satisfaction

[pure venture]

That’s what I call satisfactory satisfaction

[junior laurel]

It satis factories my buildings

[leaden ether]

😦 First death ever, falling from the a mile high SAM node pillar.

[white dawn]

Constant low-level dopamine hits from watching resources go brrr

[junior laurel]

Looks like the consumer got consumed 😏

[white dawn]

We should all be thankful that CSS aren't predatory with monetization on this game. :)

[low helm]

And these help as well

[junior laurel]

Numbers go up :D

[leaden ether]

It is amazingly "satisfying" to relax and watch the factory humming along when you finish something

[azure swan]

Fun fact, you won't die from falling if you're at 100% health. You'll be left at basically 1hp.

[low helm]

Thats why you take damage halfway down to properly die

[leaden ether]

Oh, yeah I had that happen once before. I just finished killing a gang of 5 spiders and was probably one or two health bars down 😦

[azure swan]

Pretty sure the exact same thing happened to me at the exact same spot.

[leaden ether]

One thing I've noticed a lot (Happens in some other hames as well). If you are running along and your foot catches the edge of something like a tree branch or line of rock or a very shallow "cliff" like change in elevation of the ground or anything, It often sends your rocketing sideways and in a few cases off the edge of an actual cliff -.-

[olive condor]

I have to ask now. I constantly lose my jet pack. I think I built the 4th or 5th new one since the switch to experimental. Does this anyone else experience? Should I report it?

[regal osprey]

is there an official steam deck layout now that there’s controller support?

[olive condor]

I think it happen when I switch between jet- and hover pack. (TAB -> 1 -> TAB)

Nevermind, I found them. They where in the dimensional depot. 🤪

[finite mirage]

powergrid shutting down so frequently, my capacity is way decently more than the consumption

how do i go about troubleshooting

[white dawn]

Build more power!

[reef basin]

look at the graph

[white dawn]

You will never regret having more power than you need

When I play, I make sure to keep an eye on the power grid frequently; if I ever get within like a third or quarter of my production line, I build out more power

But yeah, in the meantime you can maybe shut down some areas of your factory to give yourself enough headroom to build more power

(If you are still early game and using Biomass Burners: sort of ignore all that for now; just do whatever you need to do to get to Phase 2, which is when you get fully-automatable power)

Early-game Biomass Burners is sort of Power Trips: The Game™

(It's much easier nowadays to have pretty stable power in the early game too, thanks to being able to hook bioburners up to belts, of course)

[finite mirage]

my production dipped slightly below the consumption

i can't tell why

[white dawn]

If your production line isn't a solid straight line, then one or more of your power gen buildings is starving on resources. What stage are you at? (ie: what power do you have running?)

Also this is probably a better topic for a #1038092680493801533 thread, because presumably we'll need to start sharing screenshots, etc. :)

[finite mirage]

coal power

[finite mirage]

alr

[white dawn]

Okay, yeah, open a thread, and include shots of your machines, etc. :)

(Caveat re: If your production line isn't a solid straight line -- later in the game there are some situations where your power production line might not be straight (geothermal, trains, etc))

[finite mirage]

okay i did

[leaden ether]

It was a little confusing at first with the bio burners in that, when they run out of fuel, it says that a breaker tripped, rather than "Ran out of fuel".

[red sun]

power production drops. no longer enough power to supply grid, consumption > production. fuse blows

or something idk

[buoyant anvil]

IRL, if a generator runs out of fuel, breakers don't pop.

[steady dome]

Given how little you use biogens, it's probably mostly a non-issue

#satisfactory-experimental 😉

[leaden ether]

Ooop, moved

[red sun]

yeah and irl when you remove all the supports of a foundation it doesn't remain floating in the air 🙃

[steady dome]

WHAT?!?!? That's news to me

[red sun]

i know, crazy right

you also usually can't eat food or drink coffee through an astronaut helmet

[steady dome]

Watch me

[white dawn]

Yeah, I can see that being confusing to new players

[elder apex]

the breaker isn't tripping because of a generator running out of fuel, the breaker is tripping due to not enough power for the grid, which in your case happened to be because of a generator running out of fuel because you didn't have an excess of generators providing power to that grid.

if you tried the same thing IRL with 4 generators providing 100% of the load for a circuit and then one ran out of fuel the breaker for the circuit would trip then as well due to undervoltage on the circuit

[red sun]

intuition is telling me the machines would just not run at full capacity but i'm definitely not educated in electronics and i'm fully prepared to be wrong

[leaden ether]

Do updates to the DD happen automatically across all already installed DD machines?

[sinful temple]

I want to say that I handcrafted everything to phase 5

[red sun]

even the project parts?

[sinful temple]

I had a mod that let me craft them with the bench

Same recipe

[red sun]

sounds incredibly boring

[sinful temple]

Oh it was

Trust me I would know

About 30ish hours of movies and shows and a fun crafting noise

[red sun]

rinky-tink-tink-dink-rinky-dink-tink

[elder apex]

since you already were using mods why not just use the mod that speeds up manual crafting as well?

[white dawn]

(Or just enable AGS and give yourself the SE parts. :)

[sinful temple]

Just isn’t the same feeling

[red sun]

i mean if you're gonna install a mod to remove restrictions deliberately placed in the game to make it fun you might as well

[white dawn]

Don't get me wrong; I'm all for modding so you can play however you like. :D Just seems like if you're watching a movie and not even playing the game, may as well just shortcut it all the way. :)

[red sun]

true that

[white dawn]

Can sign up for a distributed citizen science app for 30 hours instead if you still want to stress out your system. :)

[elder apex]

or just start the game post-phase 5 and don't even bother with the project parts

[fathom solstice]

Bro can any1 pls explain coal energy like i just built my first „farm“ with an YouTube tut but i dont understand. Like you need electricity to power the coal Generator but i also produces it like wth

[white dawn]

(I am being slightly disingenuous here; I understand the appeal of doing something silly just for its own sake.)

[white dawn]

Right, you need some electricity to get it going in the first place -- not for the Coal Generators themselves, but for the miners which get you the coal, and the water extractors which give you the water. Generally you'll use Biomass Burners to get those going

But once the coal generators are up and running (and providing enough power), you can take the biomass burners offline, and the Coal Gens will be self-sustaining

[red sun]

just hook up a bioburner to give it an initial jumpstart of power. once a few of the generators are running, you can remove the bioburner and it should power itself

[fathom solstice]

Yoo thxx

[sinful bobcat]

Another day another

[fathom solstice]

But does the water extractor power itself too after a while or does the coal generator power it

[red sun]

the coal generators will power the extractor :)

assuming they're connected via power lines of course

[fathom solstice]

Thxx

[white dawn]

Yeah, machines like extractors and miners (and constructors, smelters, etc) just need electricity from somewhere. They don't care where. So when spinning up coal, you usually first have biomass burners to get them going, but then once the coal power is up and running, you'd have that wired into the grid

Later on in the game you'll probably have coal power running alongside fuel power, running alongside nuclear power, etc. All that can be active at the same time, and just contributes power into your grid

The machines don't actually care where they get it from

(And in fact have no concept of "I'm getting power from this specific machine/plant." It's just "there's power on the grid, and I am using some of the power")

[old canyon]

imagine if power pole/grid was limited to one power generator
i actually watched someone on 1st blind playthrough thought that's the case for some reason lol
the moment he realized 😂

[white dawn]

Heh, on my first playthrough it took me a bit to realize I could hook everything up to a single grid; had these separate sets of machines being powered by a single burner

[zenith pecan]

My first playthrough had one burner per machine for about four hours 🤦‍♂️

[leaden sage]

If fluids are gravity bound per the pipline manual

Gravity-Bound: Pipes will always flow down first, if possible.

Why does the lower pipe in a Variable Priority Junction have priority over the higher pipe?

[white dawn]

Because the lower liquid is already there

The liquid in the higher pipe does want to go down, yes; the keyword is "possible", though. When there's already liquid blocking it below, it has no choice but to stay up where it is

(It's worth noting that the VIP Junction apparently isn't really 100% reliable anyway, btw)

I generally recommend building pipe networks which don't even need something like a VIP Junction in the first place. Pipes like being simple

[leaden sage]

I agree with this, and I think you point out a key phrase possible. I just struggle with the thought that as fluids move through the pipe fluids need to be replaced at that junction and gravity should prioritize the top, not the bottom.

[white dawn]

Yeah, I can see where you're coming from. :)

[leaden sage]

ah damn, I thought they were pretty reliable especially if I'm not at full capacity.

I'm setting up for sloppy alumina -> electrode aluminum scrap. What other options should I be considering for the excess water? Just packaging and sinking it?

[tender raft]

yeah i hate that thing its total cap

[white dawn]

What I recommend is using separate sets of machines for fresh vs. recycled, and downclock as appropriate to make sure the numbers work

[tender raft]

every single method of mixing byproduct and fresh has literally not proven itself to work consistently and i wish itd literally just be outlawed

[white dawn]

They can still be part of the same "line" of machines, but it's basically just Don't Mix The Pipes

As an example from a small vanilla-recipe Aluminum system: #math-and-meta message

[leaden sage]

funny reading reddit it seems like it can not work, but many people get them setup effectively.

[white dawn]

As I mention there, I do tend to pre-flood the "recycled" pipe so that the system starts off running at full speed

[white dawn]

I should probably have caveated that statement, btw: you can absolutely get a working system with VIP junctions doing what you want. If it's been running for an hour without problems it'll probably run without problems forever. But depending on small variations in build style, circumstance, or the whims of a chaotic and uncaring universe, a VIP junction build could run into some problems anyway. :P

I just prefer to avoid fancier pipe stuff altogether nowadays

[leaden sage]

yeah makes sense. I'm trying to figure out the math now on how to balance out using your suggestion. I've got some decently large numbers I'm considering.

[white dawn]

For any advice re: fluids, it's helpful to mentally insert "but it is possible to get stuff working without or even against this advice, and sometimes even people following this advice might have problems."

Fluids be a fun problem. :)

[tender raft]

sure, but if you go into a custom gamemode/creative world and try all 4 methods of mixing fresh and byproduct you'll find with 100% consistency that NO solutions work 100% of the time

[white dawn]

That said, once you're used to working with them and figure out what works well for you, it's generally possible to just slap down a pipe network and end up with no problems

[rancid turret]

the real indictment of the VIP junction is that the inventor, McGalleon, writer of the fluid manual and real engineer, doesn't fucking understand how they work and doesn't use them

they do not follow from any real world principle

they're probably a result of some weird ass code in the game

[white dawn]

Weird Ass-Code? Why would they put Ass-Code in the game? I thought doggo cloacas were hypothetical

[rancid turret]

i still use them sometimes because I'm a terrible human being who doesn't practice what he preaches and they will sometimes fail on me

[tender raft]

i dont see any time where you have to use them

[rancid turret]

aluminium water by-product recycling

[white dawn]

Yeah, for recycling loops in particular, the easiest solution is just "don't combine them"

Separate sets of machines, possibly with underclocking, is 100% the way to go. Dead simple, no opportunities for failures, should work every time

[tender raft]

as interesting as the problem is of recycling fluids i honestly just think its so frustrating and poorly explained to the player

[rancid turret]

though really it's so much easier to just split the recycled from fresh

[tender raft]

what logically should work just, doesnt

ive had so many friends ask me wtf to do because they get entirely confused and just end up sinking wet concrete or something

[rancid turret]

yeah imagine a player that doesn't use the wiki or tools or whatever, knows how splitters and manifolds work for belts, and doesn't understand why fluid no work

[shell sierra]

can drop item have an effect of Performance?

[white dawn]

There's probably technically a performance hit, though I expect you'd have to drop a lot before it'd become noticeable. They don't interact with physics and such so it shouldn't be too bad

[shell sierra]

can it delete? or i cant?

like drop time limit!

[rancid turret]

dropped items remain forever

ficsit does not waste

[shell sierra]

oh god

[white dawn]

You can always just go back and pick 'em up

If you have a ton of them that you want to get rid of, maybe SCIM (https://satisfactory-calculator.com/en/interactive-map) has a way to mass-delete 'em

[old canyon]

What have you done

[shell sierra]

i killl to many enemies

[white dawn]

Sounds like you've got a lot of tasty DNA to collect!

[old canyon]

Doesnt this also delete all the items from crash sites?

[rancid turret]

turn it all to biomass

[white dawn]

I was thinking more "select an area and then delete." I honestly don't really know what SCIM's editing capabilities are; I basically only ever use it as a viewer

[old canyon]

Yeah same

[white dawn]

I did use it to adjust the rotation of the dropped items in my Space Elevator Part Museum Room on my 1.0 save, though. :D

[buoyant anvil]

I don't recall SCIM having a way to see or remove individual dropped items, and while it can show spawn sites which is probably where a lot of the remains may be, I don't think alien remains show up either.

If you had them in a personal storage crate or container, then you could just delete what's in the container or the whole container in SCIM.

Years ago, Jace or Snutt talked about how the items on conveyors and in containers don't actually exist as models. It's just a count and those items on a belt are some magic texture trick. I don't understand how the belts can be that since things are unevenly spaced, you can pick things off a belt. In any case, individual dropped items have to have some details about their location stored with them, while once they're in a container they don't exist as other than a number and type in a stack array.

[tender raft]

why would trains not be fully/unloading evne when the setting is set on their timetable

ive never had to actually use this setting before but i have no idea why theyll just continue to act the same way and only unload half their cargo instead of waiting

[buoyant anvil]

Is there space for all of it?

[tender raft]

no which is precisely why I want it to wait

i already tried setting AND wait 15 seconds but it did nothing itd just unload and leave 💀

[buoyant anvil]

FWIW, I'm the guy who made the train bootcamp and I didn't cover these settings because though I've been playing since trains were first added to Early Access, these settings are not crystal clear nor does the behavior seem entirely predictable. I've been meaning to just sit down one day and test the heck out of them, but it's time consuming and with 1.1 on the way, I'm waiting to see if they make any changes there.

[tender raft]

lol, crazy timing for me to ask that while youre in this chat

you mean the map/save right? i sent that to a friend of mine and she said it was great

but yeah ive never had to use these until now and theyre being a pain in my side, I guess i'll give this loop another hour or so though to see if it stabilizes on its own

[buoyant anvil]

Yes, it's a save.

[hollow pelican]

random question am i the only one that uses that satisfactory calculator map to reset my awesome sink once in a while so that i get more points

[buoyant anvil]

Even the wiki doesn't seem to cover it.

[tender raft]

i mean probably not but like i argue whats the point of doing that you might aswell just inventory edit yourself tickets at that point

[hollow pelican]

but that feels like cheating i do it about after 150 hours so not often

[buoyant anvil]

I didn't even know you could do that. I'm chugging out coupons at a cost of hundreds of millions each.

[tender raft]

my next coupon right now says 150 million

[tender raft]

i mean what youre doing would feel like cheating to me but to each their own

[hollow pelican]

satisfactory-calculator.com/en/interactive-map#8.5;-79555;-218969|gameLayer|;somersloops yeah you can do it here just upload your save file right click the awesome sink and pres reset points

[tender raft]

i LONG beat the game and the fun for me at this point is to get as many golden nuts as possible so the exponential growth rate of the tickets is a fun mechanic

[buoyant anvil]

FWIW, if you want the golden nut, you can just give yourself one (or 1000) in SCIM.

[tender raft]

i mean, if you want anything you can just give yourself it in scim, its just inventory editing

[hollow pelican]

you can't give yourself the points you have to give yourself the items :) but that feels like cheating

[tender raft]

can just inventory edit every space elevator part in the game and beat the game in a few hours

[buoyant anvil]

Yeah, I'm just entertained thinking about the various lines where it goes from save editing to cheating.

[hollow pelican]

*seconds

[buoyant anvil]

Speed run: Unlock all tiers, recipes, and items. Give inventory for final space elevator delivery and watch animation. FIN.

[tender raft]

personally i copypaste builds all the time with scim because its like yeah is it really cheating to hack this in when i have infinite building materials being put into the depot 🤔 but i dont really give myself anything since thatd be blatant cheating

[hollow pelican]

you can go from face 1 to face 5 in 1 second whit save editing

i also just discoverd this after like 800 hours of playing the game

nearly 900

[buoyant anvil]

No judgement. I'm just kidding around.

[hollow pelican]

i know i'm just saying that i'm not a new player

[tender raft]

big fan of playing games in any way you want to have the most fun, unless they are pvp in which case, add the clause of not impacting other peoples fun :P

[hollow pelican]

exactly

[buoyant anvil]

Me, too. The game is for fun. Do anything you want.

[tender raft]

some games almost feel unplayable without cheating, the old versions of persona 3 for instance O.O

are there any known issues with throughput of mk6 conveyers when maxed to 1200? i've been staring at this conveyer of petro coke for the past 30mins and cannot find literally any issues with it at all yet its not able to feed the last machine properly

[buoyant anvil]

We all have our tolerances for tedium. Sometimes you just want to say, yeah, yeah, I know I can do/build that, but to I want to spend all weekend at it.

[hollow pelican]

have you tried restarting the game or re placing the mk6 conveyer

[tender raft]

I've already restarted the game, sanity checked every machine and belt 2 times, and replaced all the belts

but yet still the last machine fails to be fed, yet when watching the belt for like 5mins it doesnt seem to ever hiccup?

[hollow pelican]

ah yes satisfactory is the perfect game

[hollow pelican]

have you tried feeding the feeder beld from the center

not from the left or right

[tender raft]

wdym by that

gonna open a thread

[hollow pelican]

alright you have like 4 machines normally you would connect your beld one one side but it's more efficient to do it 2 on the left and 2 on the right (sorry if my grammar is bad)

i mean 2 machines on each side of the beld

[modest smelt]

Ionized fuel not actually better for jetpack than rocket fuel?

[split badger]

how many sloop crystals are there?

Since they can let me double my item creation, i need more

[tall aurora]

like in early stage of the game, like phase 2, i guess there is no rigth or wrong way to play the game, but should i start making a factory for like the basic stuff? like plates,rod,screws,reinford plates,rotors? And then my biggest question is. What would be a good amout to automate a min? 500 of each?

[tender raft]

im not sure about the total height from either of them but ionized fuel lets you vector your momentum to an insanely useful degree so its definitely better overall

[devout forum]

fluid tanks, or canisters. Which one lasts longer if i put biofuel in it

[modest smelt]

There's a steam achievement to collect 100, at least

[steep valley]

Is there only 1 custom swatch or can you make more?

[tender raft]

uh, what?

[devout forum]

For fuel, liquid boifuel.

[tender raft]

you can only use plastic empty canisters to make packaged liquid biofuel

the aluminum fluid tanks are for certain types of fluids/gases

[devout forum]

oh

alr then

[tender raft]

off the top of my head
plastic canisters -> water, biofuel, fuel, heavy oil residue, crude oil
aluminum tanks -> rocket fuel, ionized fuel, nitrogen gas, etc

[split badger]

Liquid Biofuel gives you alot of air time with the jetpack, slow ascent but plenty of hover time

[tender raft]

liquid biofuel is genuinely great until you get turbofuel (or just skip to rocketfuel like a chad)

[crude canyon]

why not both

[tender raft]

cuz nitro rocket fuel is goated

[split badger]

i wish turbo biofuel was a thing

[crude canyon]

once you get nitro fuel you can easily get ionized

[tender raft]

no lol you need the encoder to get ionized

[shell sierra]

is there fix camera?

[orchid solar]

hi can somoene help me figure out how the vehicles work ?

ye but they mostly dont want me to open the recording menu

i cant

the menu doesnt open

dont worry about that im just trying to connect one truck to two stations, but idk maybe the game is bugged, bcause i cant open the menu to record the path or launch the autopliot

[sinful bobcat]

That’s weird, the only vehicle bugs I know is like, you can’t put fuel into it unless you get in the vehicle first

[orchid solar]

wait

i quitted the game and now i can open it

but my truck is gone in the air lmao

[sinful bobcat]

They do that

[orchid solar]

it works !!

thanks

[soft orchid]

Hey guys, i am à bit overwhelmed with my game at tier 7. Should i stop everything and do it right on another because i'm a bit lost.

[sinful bobcat]

Idk what you mean

Train line

[soft orchid]

@unborn gyro not all over. I've put everything in the same area interconnected like a noob

[leaden ether]

I feel attacked 😄

I seriously need to force myself to move out of the grassy starting area after I finish phase 2

[soft orchid]

@leaden ether please dont

I start in the rock désert. And all my stuff untill tier 7 is in the area maybe to much in the same place

[leaden ether]

Hmm, I'm working out a small set of minor factories specifically to fill in my DD that I just unlocked, so maybe now is the time to go exploring new bioms

[median drift]

I’m PURPOSELY building all in one place.

[onyx ember]

Hi I just joined. This game absolutely rules.

[nova igloo]

part of me misses exploring the world, not knowing what's out there. It's a shame they didn't go down the procedural route but it's whatever

[median drift]

Yes it does.

[crude canyon]

yeah it's in my top 3 of all time

[nova igloo]

BeamNG.drive and satisfactory are my only games to reach quadro numbers

[soft orchid]

I wish i've done one factory for one pièce at à time and search for the Best place with ressources nearby

[onyx ember]

My most recent obsession is trailing a line of foundation from my last construction behind me everywhere I go so that I can keep my new builds "on the grid"

in case I ever join them

[crude canyon]

you know there's the world grid

you hold control when making foundations

[reef basin]

only one (but you don't really need more anyway)

[onyx ember]

Is that always going to orient the same way? that's interesting but I feel like since I've already built a bunch of stuff it's too late for me ;_;

[soft orchid]

I'm not even able to make truck and train properly.

I've never think about that.

[reef basin]

you can connect things even if they are not on the grid

(and generally there's no need to connect builds)

[onyx ember]

Yes but the megafactory beckons

[reef basin]

that still doesn't need to be on a grid

[soft orchid]

Hey when you start a New game from when did you think about truck amd tractor or even trains to move your stuff? From the real beginning? I mean without unlock everything at first

[reef basin]

when I can't find a place to build a factory which would have all the raw resources the factory needs

[golden nexus]

you need to unlock them to get them... but yes i have a save where i move crude oil to the grass fields like this... #screenshots message

[reef basin]

which is usually pretty late in the game

[soft orchid]

@reef basin i've made the worse thing ever. I've almost built everything by hand 🤔

It seems a lot of work to me to redo everything with what i've done yet. I'm not even sure if my power grid is covering everything i have

I've done that too fast. If 468h is too fast lol

[leaden ether]

Someone removed my wood meme from the memes thread, I gues they didn't get the joke 😛

[golden nexus]

did the meme have two short planks?

[leaden ether]

My daily windows background today was a picture of a lake but HUGE in the foreground was a couple of pieces of knarled wood that looked VERY much like all the wood scraps you find in world. So I plastered a big "E" at the top of it.

It was removed. I mean it wasn't a screen shot but it was a satisfactory meme.

[steep valley]

I do though

Ill just change the already existing ones

[reef basin]

why? you can change the one you have

[exotic grail]

I got a question, I am making an oil rig like factory on those 4 oil nodes everyone first goes to (2x pure 2x normal overclocked to 240) but I heard people say it is not recommended to make liquids going up since they are affected by gravity, I scrapped my first design and now I want to make it so the 4 oil nodes push the crude oil straight to the top floor of the factory and then the products will go down (rubber, plastic, fuel etc) is there any chance this will work or will I get the same results as making the liquids go upwards

[steep valley]

Every time I want a different swatch I would have to change it back to the colors I used before

[golden nexus]

the power costs of pumps is negligible..... its like people optimizing for not using a copper node when they only used 5% of the copper nodes on the map

[reef basin]

if you have "colors you used before", that's what the 20 numbered swatches are for - reusing colors

[steep valley]

Thats why I'm using those 20 swatches, but eventually I'll run out of them

[exotic grail]

yes but I did use pumps for the fuel but the pipes kept draining and I made sure there were enough refineries for fuel

[onyx ember]

why can't i pick up these green birds and feed them into my biomass shredders

there's gotta be some joules in there

[rain estuary]

can u get multiple different custom swatch slots

[reef basin]

no

[rapid valve]

just slap a nobelisk on their back and turn them into kamikaze drones

[old canyon]

You would get told how you are doing something wrong every 30 seconds 😂 jk greeny

[onyx ember]

Like FICSIT doesn't do that already

[zealous chasm]

Is there a "take all" shortcut in machines?

[onyx ember]

Shift click grabs a stack. Ctrl click grabs everything

[zealous chasm]

Ah, so when picking ore from those drills I need to always click the button?

Magic

[onyx ember]

You could pick up the miner, probably, then you'll get all the ore as well..

[sour pilot]

you can use ctrl+LMB as it was said

[latent prawn]

for machines like constructors, refineries, etc, when you ctrl-c then ctrl-v the machine, it will grab into your inventory whatever is buffered. i don't think that trick works for portabellas though

[onyx ember]

Portabellas? That's great

[latent prawn]

at one point, every now & then when you opened the miner ui, it would randomly say 'portabella miner'

[onyx ember]

I had no idea

[latent prawn]

easy to miss, lol

[zealous chasm]

Oh wow

[abstract heron]

@unborn gyro should I keep 3k for alumin

Or use it a bit or not

Huh

Ik but the 3k gas can be good for having alumin stuff being made

[onyx ember]

You're on to something

[bitter crow]

what happened??? #screenshots

did i accidentally enable cheats?

[dense violet]

flying pig

[shrewd palm]

jetpack hog

[bitter crow]

?

[dense violet]

a literal flying pig died there

[shrewd palm]

theres 1 pig on the map the spawns with a jetpack

[dense violet]

you didn't notice the explosion?

[bitter crow]

i did

but i was walking distracted

[dense violet]

that was the pig
exploding

lucky you didn't die

they are surprisingly accurate suicide bombers usually

[bitter crow]

i wanna redo it

it sounds fun

[dense violet]

rare spawn. Unless you saved the game like 10 second before it happened, you're out of luck

[shrewd palm]

i think the first time i found one was in the swamp (i immediatley killed it and i have the jetpack as a trophy)

[bitter crow]

LMAOOO

im a stage below jetpacks so this is fun

[shrewd palm]

you should be able to use it as long as you have fuel

i think it runs off solid biofuel too but i doubt it will be very good

[dense violet]

solid biofuel is ass for it. Make liquid biofuel

[bitter crow]

stage below that

i found 4 of it in some place

[terse venture]

329 hours gametime and i build my first train .p lol

[near quarry]

when do u unlock trains?

[terse venture]

long ago, first 100 hours i followed wrong base strategie and started again, this time was near that trains was needed .p

[shrewd palm]

i think its phase 3

cant remember what tier tho

[terse venture]

i have 2 parts half of phase 4 end

i think its end then with phases ?

[shrewd palm]

game ends at phase 5

[terse venture]

ah one more ok

this game is brainstory enough but its nice to fnish some stuff 🙂 hope next is grow more hard. i like games need longer than 20 hours .)

[leaden turret]

looks at 4k+ hours and not having completed the game yet

[shrewd palm]

im at close to 400 hours on this one save and im like halfway through all the phase 4 stuff

need to get factory set up for phase 5

[terse venture]

ya complete is another thing .) collect everything etc.

not need if you have fun .p

[white dawn]

And really, can you actually say you've finished the game without an ISC of Golden Nuts?

[shrewd palm]

working on it

[white dawn]

I actually only semi-recently found out that coupon cost is eventually capped; they don't keep growing forever

So you could get yourself to a fixed rate of Golden Nut acquisition

[shrewd palm]

warp drives are the best right?

[white dawn]

Most points per item, anyway

[shrewd palm]

im making like 2 mil/min with this aluminum factory

[white dawn]

Whether or not that actually equates to "fastest point acquisition" I'm not sure (though I'm guessing it probably does)

[shrewd palm]

probably going to switch over to warp drives once i finish phase 5

[tiny python]

does anyone know if theres a way to disable ADA's new negging lines? her normal dialogue is fine, but the negging when you build is actually irritating when you just want to relax :/

[white dawn]

Heh, eesh, even at max BWD production (and I'm not sure how you'd power max-BWD-production unless you maybe made yourself a stockpile of fuel rods first or something) you're just getting 200 million points per min, which at max coupon-acquisition rate is a bit less than a coupon per minute. So even then you're looking at ~16 hours per Golden Nut

Max TPR is very nearly the same amount of points per minute, actually

Fewer points per item but you can produce quite a bit more

[shrewd palm]

phase 5 has got me worried

i should have enough power but you never know

[white dawn]

(this is without factoring in sloops, but I suspect they wouldn't change the numbers significantly, at those scales. Too few of 'em)

Oh hey, max ADS is ~280 million points/min, so that beats out BWD + TPR

I am slightly weirded out that Max Neural-Quantum Processor (again minus sloops) appears to be exactly 255

[elder apex]

are you also considering all the points you get from the byproducts needed for max BWD production ( ie. the AI Expansion servers made just for the dark matter residue )?

[white dawn]

I suppose I could've just clicked through to https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/AWESOME_Sink/Theoretical_maximum_of_points

Anyway, fun

[white dawn]

Ah, I had not been

Just some quick back-of-the-sftools solvers plus multiplication

Anyway, obviously that question has been investigated far more thoroughly than I'd intended to ever do, so 🥳

[night summit]

Build a factory and design it and stuff just to unlock a new belt or item and have to re design it all

[dense violet]

why redesign it?

[latent prawn]

um, thanks, lol

[hearty gate]

Is the new update out?

[leaden turret]

on experimental, yes

[hearty gate]

Sweet

[latent prawn]

yeah, pretty solid so far. bugs at this point seem to be minimal

[static gyro]

how to smart splitters work? im using it for overflow but it just takes the item from my industrial storage container even if its not full

[leaden turret]

they work not that way 😛

one of the traditional ways of using them is to use them on the input to storage, with overflow being used to send them somewhere else.

or vice-versa- sending them to storage when the somewhere else backs up

[static gyro]

OHHHH

[static gyro]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[static surge]

Bro the cyber wagon is so funny

[humble plank]

Hello

[static gyro]

i just died

[latent prawn]

TF is one of those builds that takes a lot longer to build than you anticipate

[distant pilot]

That’s just normal gameplay lmao

[near quarry]

how big does the body of water need to be for the pump?

[humble plank]

@near quarry it doesn't need to be any bigger than the extractor really... IT just needs to be deep enough (has to be a little deeper than a super-shallow puddle)

@near quarry doesnt need much space really.

[wet shoal]

Yeah. I screwed myself when I didn't actually check how much sulfur and coal are nearby, and now I need to build another supply line to actually make the whole build work. The polymer resin is actually a necessary resource for my planned factory that will make nuclear pasta and the other stuff, so there is no pulling out now.

I can let it run at roughly 80% capacity now, and fix the rest later

[latent prawn]

it is why i really try to defer doing a fuel power build until after blenders and i can use blended tf with drones moving the sulfur

(or just build fuel power in blue crater)

[distant pilot]

Diluted fuel is enough by itself in my experience

[humble plank]

check your IPv6 connectivity?

[static gyro]

how do i change fueltypes?

[obsidian wharf]

Objective: You're a quantum engineer. Your main goal is to design a quantum circuit (by placing quantum gates) that transforms an initial quantum state (usually all qubits starting as |0⟩) into a specific target quantum state.

Challenge: Each level presents a different target state (like a Bell state or GHZ state). You need to achieve this target with high fidelity (meaning your final state is very close to the target state, typically > 98%). You might also have implicit constraints, like needing to use few gates.

[dense talon]

Not yet

[humble plank]

@dense talon try test-ipv6

[dense talon]

I tested it now and it is ok

Could it have something to do with the network drivers?

[humble plank]

@dense talon well, probably not if you can comm out to anything else...

@dense talon want to try joining my game?

[dense talon]

Yeah

[humble plank]

@dense talon I sent you a friend request but I dont think I can DM because you have do not disturb on.

[dense talon]

Ok

[wet shoal]

Thats the thing, have over 80 GW of power planned lol

Already using blenders to maximize crude potency, but now I gotta tap the last two nodes of coal and sulfur as well

[latent prawn]

you might consider slooping the compacted coal until you secure more

[wet shoal]

Never 🙂

[latent prawn]

i'm just saying, lol

to me in this game until you get to nuclear which is a formidable project (= fun for me), power is something i really just build to keep the grid supplied with as little effort as i can swing

[leaden ether]

DO items have different amounts of points for the awesome sink? Like does sinking a versitile frame count more than a piece of coal?

[wet shoal]

Yes

[leaden ether]

Thanks. (Whew) 🙂

[latent prawn]

yeah, more complex parts are worth exponentially more points

the last phase space elevator parts are in the range of 100-500k per item iirc. there's a full table of point values on the wiki

[wet shoal]

2,895,334 Ballistic Warp Drive

[last jackal]

Doesn't it say how much it exactly is in the database in game?

[latent prawn]

last i looked, no

[last jackal]

I swear I saw something like that... huh...

[latent prawn]

no, not in the codex

[last jackal]

It definitely was in game.
Probably was a mod pre 1.0..

[leaden ether]

Ohhh, interesting. I'll keep thaty in mind. In one spot I was just sinking the extra ore bnecuse it was simple to put in but I just finished adding a sink to the final output of a factory so was sondering. I should go change the other one now...

[wet shoal]

Well if you want an estimate, you could always sink one minute worth of an item via MK1 belt and compare the resulting spike against your "background" sinking.

[latent prawn]

i mean you can, but it really isn't worth many points to sink ore

each coupon requires more and more points than its predecessors, so sinking ore at 1-3 points per item really just becomes a drop in the bucket quickly

some people like sinking uranium early b/c it has a decent point value. i'd rather spend that time making 10 rip/min and 10 rotor/min and using them to make smart plates to sink 🙂

[spiral badger]

I still can't figure out the flow problem with my oil 😦

Where do you fall into the void from

[latent prawn]

when you go far out on the gold coast, the water isn't really water anymore but instead void which you can fall into and die

it also prevents placement of water extractors too far out at sea, which is really annoying

not knowing that ahead of time nearly ruined a big power build i was doing there

[last jackal]

Overclocking might help, if you didn't.

question for the nerds

[potent atlas]

she's done better than i have and i have about 160 hours in the game

[royal rune]

I'm producing fuel using oil nodes across the map for burning.

the polymer resin or w/e it's called will be used for plastic and rubber. Should I move the polymer stuffos itself or do production of plastic/rubber on-site with it being transfered instead

(transit is by train)

[potent atlas]

id say make the production on site but it might lead to starvation of the production

actually no if you make it on site nvm

[leaden ether]

The grass fields has lulled me into a false sense of security -.- THere are some weird and dangerous places out there. I need to make the rebar gun I think.

[royal rune]

there's no consumption yet, it's still just a byproduct

[onyx forge]

dude why is evrey thing so slow i need hel

when do i stop using bio fuel

??

coal power is the first one after bio, I think

Tried throwing a nobelisk at a bee hive and it hit a bee on the way there and stuck uselesslty in the air -.-

[wooden lintel]

that feeling when you're making a third of your turbofuel power setups worth of power with a single overclocked refinery that exists for the sole purpose of making polymer resin for fabric

[old canyon]

Dont think i've heard someone call them beehive yet

[old canyon]

Thats funny, kinda dissapointed it didnt stick to the "bee" and detonated when it touched you lol

[onyx forge]

any tutorial yall recomend me to idk know how to do stuff in the efficnt way

[cursive crane]

In b4 that guy comes to tell you efficiency doesn't exist

Fr, all you gotta do is divide prodyction by consumption*

If you have 4 assemblers needing 200 screws/m, and 4 constructors each making 50 screws/m, all you gotta do is get the product there

[royal rune]

efficiency does exist but it doesn't matter

most resources are infinite

[onyx forge]

yea but idk why all is just going slower, i destroyed and rebuilt my factori to make it better looking and now i just fell that it is slow

i am getting much less than before and i divide

and i dont waste

[royal rune]

fair

my OG save has been left unattended for long enough that I started a new one w/ friends. We just got trains unlocked :3

[misty path]

Oh damn nice

Yeah furthest Ive gotten in Beta was setting up coal power xD

This time im taking it slow, getting the factories done more or less as efficiently as I can with available nodes

Won't destroy it again thouhg, will just build in a new location when I have better shit

[royal rune]

I'm leaving the stuff i don't wanna deal with to friendos lol

[strange plover]

I do the same with my bf and his friends, I ain't do anything an run around exploring the map for em...an make a lizard doggo army LOL

[royal rune]

but i've mostly taken over power generation so I guess it's fair

[misty path]

I hate exploring so I can imagine your friends appreciate that xD

[thorny valley]

What alt recipes should I look to get for a turbo fuel plant

[royal rune]

I dislike some of the things friendos have done (random foundation bridges in many places) but if it means I don't have to set up motors production for the Nth time I'm fine with it

[last jackal]

Pretty much every enemy except 2 of them = Shock rebar + smack with sword.

[strange plover]

I get distracted easily so I just run around without realizing how long... Last time was almost 2 hours

[royal rune]

you've been playing for 16 hours

[leaden ether]

Ugh, definately not building a factory here... Managed to barely grab a single sphere. Dissassembled my tractor and death portaled home for the evening.

[royal rune]

where at

[leaden ether]

So from like the middle of the grass fields starting area, directly east a ways is a large lake and the landscape looks like a dried up coral sea. Has like thiord tier wildlife protecthing the nodes and spheres.

Basically the large lake in the southern eastern bit of the map.

[royal rune]

oh yeah no from grass fields I recommend expand NW

along the shoreline on the west side

[leaden ether]

Neat alien landscape 😄 but I need better weapons I think.

[last jackal]

Push the MAM a bit and get a gun.

Flying crabs are no longer a threat.

[jaunty jewel]

you'll likely want to go back there at some point

[last jackal]

Not the most satisfying thing to shoot, but it's amazing at killing hatchers.

[jaunty jewel]

quick tip the equipment workshop works amazingly as cover and allows you to cheese any kind of hog

[last jackal]

Except the nuke one.

Nuclar AoE is fun.

[dense violet]

? just build a little fort to shoot the hog from

[jaunty jewel]

just in general they can mostly be countered by building

[jaunty jewel]

it allows you to melee then which is typically faster especially for cliff hogs

[last jackal]

Yeah I know. I just meant in terms of the single workshop building.

I kill them from the trees anyway with my rebar gun.

[jaunty jewel]

i throw explosives at them

[last jackal]

They are in the trees.
It gets really funny to pulsar juggle mobs.

[leaden ether]

Ah, heh I'll thingk about that. I was using the vehicle to escape the bees as I was trying to blow up the hive. And yeah it's sometimes easy to trap an animal behind a rock or coral outcropping sometimes. I tried hopping on top of the tractor to fight the rhino thing but his new trick was to nose butt rocks at you 😄

[jaunty jewel]

alpha spitters can be very easily killed by staying away from them to the point they only do the rapid fire attack and shooting them while dodging

[dense violet]

make a small bp with a couple foundations, walls, and a 4m ramp. just poke your head over the wall to chip away at the big hogs

[last jackal]

Shock rebars are perfect to bumbrush anything that isn't flying crabs & nuke hogs.

Alphas are so big, easier to hit them even.

[wooden lintel]

i just hit a nuke hog with stun rebar and it disappeared

[cursive crane]

Stunbar and Basher s tier combo. Knock em out and beat em out

[rapid valve]

gas nobelisks are hilarious against crabs too. especially the big nests. small nests you can just instagib with a point blank shatter rebar

if you have crazylegs and the parachute or a jetpack and a convenient cliff you can usually trick hogs into throwing themselves off the edge if you time it right. it's only when they're actually running at you though and not the special charge attack that cliff hogs do because that one is actually constrained

[last jackal]

Since the old days of bioshock 1. Zap them and smack them. The classic 1-2 punch.

[vernal swan]

is there an lfg channel in this server?

sorry for random question

[last jackal]

#1201555265942724758

[vernal swan]

ty!!

[misty path]

Aight, my starter iron & concrete factories officially completed, next up copper xD

[prisma thicket]

Can anyone tell me how many hard drives it takes to unlock all the alternate recipes in phase 1 and 2?

[dense violet]

you'd have to look at the parts in phase 1 and 2 in the wiki and look.

you don't need all of them especially just going up the tiers anyway.
just grab a bunch and go

[olive condor]

Can someone tell me what's wrong here? I must be bline somehow. #screenshots message 🤔

Nevermind waste output full. 😅

[steady dome]

A lot of countries don't have today off in fact

[finite latch]

its a holiday?

[steady dome]

I've had the entire week of, so 🤷

It depends where you are

[tall lantern]

tomorrow*

[steady dome]

Case in point ^

[finite latch]

is the one where a bunny tries to lay an egg to see if spring will be early this year?

[tall lantern]

that's the one

[reef basin]

*tomorrow

yes, only kids have holiday

[steady dome]

Like I said. It depends on where you live whether today is a holiday or not

[reef basin]

well we live in a same country 🙂

but public holiday here is only fri/mon

but kids got thu as school holiday

[steady dome]

Odd. Usually they would be countrywide. Although I guess some countries do holidays on a more regional basis cause of their sizes for example

[reef basin]

nah you're just confused

[steady dome]

Yea I don't know about Sweden. In Denmark today is a public holiday

[sterile blade]

Just be a good person and become a saint, so everyday is a holyday

[steady dome]

Bitch please! I'm already a saint!

😉

[sterile blade]

!ban @unborn gyro
Reason: Obscene language

[steady dome]

Spot the italian

I mean with the amount of worse shit other countries tend to put on pizza, pineapple is pretty casual

Pineapple ain't got nothing on potato chips pizza

[sterile blade]

The point is the psychological damage it creates, not the taste. I'm 69% sure people actually don't care about the taste and simply order it out of spite

[steady dome]

The sweet taste of pineapple can do alot to food honestly. I don't have a strong opinion regarding it on pizza specifically, but I made a slowcooker dish the other week with it which gave it a sweet flavour with a hint of pineapple and that was delicious

[sterile blade]

It's not just that it's sweet, it's the fact that every time you eat it you win a battle for survival that really gives a kick to our brains
||Ananas enzymes actively try to digest us when we eat it, so by managing to eat it we actually win a battle for survival... Against a fruit...||

You should not believe that I actually am, outside of acting like a walkingtipying stereotype :P

[stiff sparrow]

if it hasnt been reported and someone wants to report it

ADA's post-unlock dialogue after getting T5 fluid packaging mentions the industrial fluid buffer but you dont get it, you get it with T5 petroleum power

[sinful carbon]

is turbo heavy fuel best if i want to make plastic and rubber additionally?

im not even close to that stage yet

[tall lantern]

put it in a planner and see. I suspect you'd gain more from doing it with another alt tho

[sinful carbon]

from what im seeing normal turbo fuel recipe is to get turbo fuel with only polymer resin as a byproduct and heavy turbo fuel is to make plastic and rubber additionally

[tall lantern]

it'll depend on which recipes you're using

[steady dome]

Just a shame that rifles are useless as a client 🙃

[tall lantern]

but heck, a basic test with 200 turbofuel, 100 rubber, 100 plastic uses less oil with turbo blend (and diluted fuel) than turbo heavy does

if you add in HOR and the recycled recipes I reckon that'll tip even more in favour of not using Heavy

[bleak crane]

hey quick question where is a good place to build like 10 nuclear plants?

[reef basin]

ocean

[tall lantern]

near water

Begging is against the #rules
Find a way to get cash money

jokes are also against the rules

[red sun]

alpacas are also against the rules

[olive condor]

I shouldn't probably say this, but IMHO a good education shouldn't get you broke. 🤷 Education should be free, always.

[shadow hedge]

completely unrelated note, wow slooping protien and dna is op

i asked the animals, they didnt have anything to say about that so its probably fine

[olive condor]

9 out of 10 animals on Massage 2(AB)b think mobbing is okay.

Do you guy all deal with Lizzard Doggos? I ignore them mostly but try not to scare them.

[tall lantern]

nope

[shadow hedge]

I sometimes tame one if its near my base, but usually ignroe them

unlike some things they dont get in the way

[sharp saffron]

I tame them so I can pet them. One of them gave me a nuke. Not sure if that was a yes or a no.

[shadow hedge]

in my current save the first one i tamed got me a nuke as the first item

I took that as a good sign till he bugged on the ground (wasnt moving at all) and i had to.... deal with it

[olive condor]

True, in my current playthrough I lifed up my factory from the beginning. Only pillars and miners are on the ground level.

[stiff sparrow]

im on stable idk, im not inclined to post it there cuz it might suggest its a new bug

[zenith pecan]

I build factories on support colums, that way the lay of the land doesn't get in the way of construction.

[olive condor]

Speaking of animals... my cat woke up and demands food. 😄

[sinful carbon]

is there no way to make it so items get put into my sink only if a container is full

like some type of overflow system

[shadow hedge]

Smart Splitters

They are a part of the caterium tree in the MAM

[sinful carbon]

but it only allows specific parts to be filtered

[shadow hedge]

No, look at the generic filters at the top of the filter list

[left totem]

what I used to do until I discovered the existence of Smart Splitter and the sink was just build tons of storage

[sinful carbon]

ooh

[sinful carbon]

nice thanks

[shadow hedge]

no problem

[wet shoal]

I guess you made a lot of coupons after you finally found out lol

[reef basin]

on the contrary - sink anything you have excess of

[wet shoal]

Ficsit does not waste-

The sink is just a big shredder is it not

[ruby merlin]

are we ever going to get a new map

[dense violet]

prob not

[rancid turret]

they overreached making this map

[ocean frost]

The current map maker is burnt out as it is, maybe as a dlc or a community project is on the cards.

Part of it depends on CSS long term support for the game.

[gilded marsh]

Can I use Satisfactory Calculator inorder for me to clean up some conveyor belts? I mean I need the belts but they are pretty unorganized. Can I organize them with Satisfactory Calculator or smth?

[left totem]

I maxed out the shop around turbo motor time

[left totem]

not really

[olive condor]

Anyone playing experimental? The hypertube junction, can it only go left? I haven't managed to right yet. (Pressing E or D) don't work.)

[tall lantern]

#satisfactory-experimental

[olive condor]

I see, I'm sorry.

[bitter crow]

Hi peeps

[mossy moon]

oh they made autocnnect better huh. lets see if it works bcs when you have a stack of belts or pipes you have to nudge it to the farthest possible place or it connects all over the place and cross wires everything it can

waht... 4 hours. shits never taken this long

[zenith pecan]

I'll create a tunnel making guide.

[rocky wind]

on 1.0 rn, my frames were always pretty consistent between 70-110 on high settings, but out of nowhere my performance just tanked, now even on low settings im getting 45-60 fps

[zenith pecan]

It will be later, my brother was involved in a car wreck, so I'll be checking in on him soonish.

He seems fine, his car though is a write off.

[brave widget]

can someone who play in 1.1 tell me what are de dimensins of the elevator please

not the height

juste lenght and wight

[reef basin]

I would tell you but I don't play 1.1

[zenith pecan]

Do remind me about the guide creation if needed, I've been quite distracted of late.

[zenith pecan]

Just 8m by 8m, the size of one foundation.

[brave widget]

just 1 fondation??

[zenith pecan]

Yep, the floor area is one foubdation.

[brave widget]

can you make is bigger tho?

[zenith pecan]

Nope.

[reef basin]

not really needed anyway

[brave widget]

oh okay thanks👍👍

[mossy moon]

1 foundation or 8 by 8 m

[mossy moon]

theres the video they released where you can see the elevator

[reef basin]

I know. I even knew the answer. But the question was only to people who play 1.1, which excludes me 🤷

[mossy moon]

well id still answer bcs atleast id help

[reef basin]

I'd rather teach OP to not limit the scope of who can answer 🤷

[cinder harbor]

I downloaded the game again today, but for some reason it runs like trash. I am locked to 1080p only with dx11. Other resolutions are not available and dx12 and vulkan are not selectable.
3060ti + 5800x3d

[reef basin]

check if you have launch arguments, and if so, remove them

[cinder harbor]

No, no launch options are there.
I am trying to rollback to dec released graphic driver in the meantime

[rancid turret]

try DDU to entirely erase your graphics driver

i would link it but links are not allowed

Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU)

[spice patio]

Make #1038092680493801533 thread.
Not going to paste lot of instructions here.

Other to that DDU driver cleanup is deleting old configs as 1.0 doesn't handle U8 configs correctly.

[gilded marsh]

Can I somehow spawn a source of something with a command or smth?

[dense violet]

there's creative mode though

[jaunty jewel]

heļlo

[split badger]

i wish the hub had an entrance for the conveyor

so i can keep the biofuel generators full

[white dawn]

Eh, you're only bound to the HUB burners for a pretty short period of time

The ones you build yourself provide more power per gen anyway (though the fuel-per-MW ratio remains the same)

[dense violet]

they also output less power than crafted burners

[split badger]

true, but they still help

[dense violet]

hand craft 10 parts. boom. two more generators

[green fiber]

its better to get the biomass burners that you can build yourself

those have belt entrances

[mossy moon]

finally the update downloaded

[split badger]

im guessing the hub generator is 20 and the craftable is 30

[mossy moon]

also its funy how all the bugs they fixed are all bugs that i came across day before yesterday

[split badger]

dammit i accidentally deleted my copper lines

[mossy moon]

the crashing, radiotowers, and autocnnect bcs i started playing around with big blueprint stuff

[split badger]

thankfully copper is common

[dense violet]

you know you get the parts back in your inventory right?

[mossy moon]

ye theres no way to lose any items in the game (accidentally)

(ignore flushing and sinking)

[split badger]

my inventory was full

[dense violet]

then it spawns a crate in front of you

[mossy moon]

then there would be a dismantle crate

[dense violet]

which you should really empty out some of your crap

[split badger]

1.0 or 1.1?

[dense violet]

yes

there's very little that can happen in the game where you lose a resource for ever

[mossy moon]

hmm sounds similar to the conversation in #satisfactory-experimental

[split badger]

because i dont see the crate 😰

[dense violet]

and that's mostly spending items for research

[split badger]

but like i said, at least it was copper

[mossy moon]

ig dismantle crates got bugged or smth bcs what are the chances you are talking abt full inventory and items being lost and the same thing in the experimentall chanel

[tall lantern]

if you are running experimental, best to keep it in the right channel

[mossy moon]

ye

[near quarry]

is there a way to get rid of the green gas thats toxic?

[mossy moon]

explosives

[split badger]

i know but i'm on 1.0

[mossy moon]

"when in doubt.. C4" (or smth like that i fogor the exact qutoe)

[mossy moon]

oh ok

[sturdy mural]

guys do trains care if they go from the one side or the other?

[mossy moon]

wdym?

[sturdy mural]

like'

[mossy moon]

trainstations requre the engine to be facing the arrow the station shows while building

[sturdy mural]

i have a line
that splits and one goes forward into the station (like the forward) and the other one goes to the back

the train will always go from the back right?

[mossy moon]

and if you want a train to move back and forth wihtout having to turn then you need 2 engines facing both ways

[mossy moon]

yes, if i read it corecly

[sturdy mural]

imma send a pic in #screenshots

[mossy moon]

yes that works

[sturdy mural]

yay

now time to deadlock 50 trains in here

[mossy moon]

intesrting design choice how it clips right into the rocks

[sturdy mural]

i'm testing it out and i can't find a better spot

• rails are confusing
  like brother how do you curve

[rancid turret]

the train can only ever go in the same direction the station faces

[rancid turret]

alas, with a lot of bullshit

[mossy moon]

yes

[random wasp]

so i have 2 trains running through the same station, one is a car longer than the other. the shorter one delivers raw material to the factory, the longer one picks up the produced goods, is there a way to have the longer train only take from one station and not have it be unloaded to the factory it doesnt belong at?

its one longer than the other so it doesnt end up putting the finished goods on the raw material train

[mossy moon]

curves have a minimum radius of about 2.5 foundations so people usually like to go with a 3 wide radius so it lines up with the foundations

[mossy moon]

there are settigns to only load/unload certain items at each stop in the time table

[random wasp]

god bless

thanks

[rancid turret]

real life trains can't turn at all, but real trains also can go backwards and don't need a loop

[mossy moon]

ey sf trains can also go backward. u just need 2 engines

[random wasp]

"real trains cant turn"?

[mossy moon]

but yeah the turning radius of our trains is insane, with those speeds

[random wasp]

ohhhh

take an upstate ny amtrak if you wanna change your mind on that

[rancid turret]

okay lemme rephrase: a real train can't turn within a 10m radius

[sturdy mural]

builds a train tthat can turn within a 9.8m radius

[rancid turret]

yeah but then you need switchbacks and the like that you can't really implement in satisfactory

[sturdy mural]

parry that you filthy pioneer

[tardy basin]

its due to train wheels btw

[mossy moon]

arent sf traintracks limited to 20m radius or smth close to that

[rancid turret]

i forget

[tardy basin]

they are semi cones, designed to sway train onto tracks and turn based on weight and gravity play

think about string with ball on bottom, when you push ball on left it goes to right, its like that

[mossy moon]

i wonder what the gforces will be for the train turning a usual 24 m radius at its max speed of 120 km/h

[tardy basin]

but its absolutely correct that train wheels do not turn

[low helm]

I just calculated the centrifugal force

[mossy moon]

yeah ik i watched practical engineer so totaly qualified (im kidding). but the wheel layout of the sf train is completely diferent

[mossy moon]

what is it

[tardy basin]

im not professional with trains as well lol, i just love them and know stuff about it, ferroequinologist is just humor term

[low helm]

At 24m radius 120km/h, 13.8 MN

[rancid turret]

how many g is that

[mossy moon]

the layout of the wheels is literally inverted and idk if its tehcnically possible for turning (ignoring junctions and shit)

[mossy moon]

dam

[low helm]

According to the wiki a single engine weighs 300 tons

Which creates the massive number

[mossy moon]

meganewtons? am i reading that right?

[low helm]

Yes

[low helm]

Almost 5

[rancid turret]

not great not terrible

[low helm]

F1 territory

[rancid turret]

rollercoasters go to 4 vertically, 1 laterally

[mossy moon]

lol

[rancid turret]

and that's unbanked too

[low helm]

But that calculation is a single engine not pulling anything btw

[rancid turret]

wouldn't want a load of supercomputers hauling ass like that

[low helm]

So the numbers probably go way up if you add freight into the mix

[sturdy mural]

4.72 Gs?

[mossy moon]

or radioactive shit

[low helm]

Yeah

[tardy basin]

ok tested a bit, satisfactory train's wheels do turn, they turn both ways, this concept could work but not efficient, its due to single rail design, if it was two rails it would be like real life as there is less mechincal parts need to mantain for wheels

[mossy moon]

i mean im surprised the train tracks dont fly off with the train

[silk rose]

what saisfactory related keycaps can i print?

[tardy basin]

it has bumps and wheels concaves down onto it

and angled so it will not fall out

[sterile blade]

You may find some browsing #fan-art

[silk rose]

TY but ig last interesting thing there was made by me)

[sturdy mural]

dang, quite a lot, still nothing compared to flying thru a tube at mach fuck

[low helm]

We need a physics nerd to calculate the numbers if its pulling cargo as well :)

[mossy moon]

ye

[old badger]

is there a way to disable the warning messages every time you start the game?

[mossy moon]

i was also gonna ask that before but i keep forgetting

[low helm]

Just replied in #satisfactory-experimental

[sturdy mural]

with cargo that'd be like at least 4 more kgs

hell, maybe even 5

[mossy moon]

someone could do the math. or make a computer sim

#screenshots message @modest mist waw how you make that? new photomode and/or smth else? looks sick

[modest mist]

yes new photo mode and end of world color filter

[mossy moon]

i never know how to mess with the colour filters and settings so i just randomly change things to make it look better like some ai machine learning algorithm but slower and worse

[modest mist]

Usually when I see something that can be nice I try a little everything at random and save only the combinations beautiful

[gilded marsh]

Is there any way to automaticly destroy items?

[ashen belfry]

Yes.
Awesome Sink

Combined with a smart splitter set to overflow it will destroy all overflowing items and generate coupons

But it can't destroy every item

Rest needs to be flushed or used in other recipes

[eternal delta]

Idk if any of the CM are active in chat but will we get a friday stream or not as its a red day tomorow in sweden.

till one of CMs respond i will take the normal awnser of NO we want to have that extra day to the brake.

[nocturne nebula]

how much space do you guys like for underfloor logistics?

[eternal delta]

enuf to fit 3 convways staked is what i do when i use underfloor logistics

[wispy sequoia]

are u able to sink fuel canister thingys if they overflow? or only empty ones

[true mulch]

you can sink full fuel canisters, but what lead you to that?

don't make them if you don't want them

[nocturne nebula]

16m high?

[eternal delta]

Well it deppends on how many belt you need

[wispy sequoia]

im making a nuke nobelisk farm

and im using drones to transport uranium down so i needed fuel canisters but if it uses less fuel than what i make ill sink overflow

[real wolf]

#screenshots message yeah its bad but im very early in the game

[cinder briar]

Guys i'm trying to figure out coal power.

More specifically I'm trying to figure out the formula for how many coal generators I can run and how many water extractors I need to power these.

The numbers I've found while researching so far is the following.

Each generator running at 100% consumes 15 coal per minute. 3 water extractors can feed 8 generators.

Are these numbers still accurate?

[frozen cloud]

yes

[stiff sparrow]

why shouldnt I do mk2 pipes

[frozen cloud]

generator consumes 45/min water 45 * 8 = 360 = 120 * 3 water generators

[cinder briar]

Thank you sir, next question, by my callculations 8 generators need 360 water, but the pipes are limited to 300 how do i get around this?

[frozen cloud]

you use 2 pipes

[frozen cloud]

because they dont do 600/min in long manifolds, its more like 550/min

[stiff sparrow]

oh cuz of the fluid dynamics?

[frozen cloud]

yes

[stiff sparrow]

L

[cinder briar]

Cool, next question water tower / water pumps.

From my understanding If i pump a pipe up to a high point, it will never need a pump bellow that point again?

I'm thinking I'm going to build a water tower next to my water source, pump my water up there, and then pipe it down to the generators.

Secondly what how are fluid dynamics implemented in the game?

[placid stirrup]

You can achieve 600 if you set everything up perfectly

[frozen cloud]

yes you split it into 2 x 300/min pipes

[cinder briar]

I'm thinking I will build this with tolerences in the system, my Idea is that once I get this setup I wont have another power trip from generators running out of fuel...

[stiff sparrow]

yeah a water tower is a good idea to buffer some fluid in case ur breaker blows and the coal gens need it

yeah gravity will carry it down

[cinder briar]

Would you recommend I keep my old biomass generators in the system? from my understanding they will be the last power source to be consumed, ie they will only engage if the coal power is insufficient?

[placid stirrup]

Water towers can only add complexity, not solve for it. Their trade-off comes in as reduced amount of pumps on pipes, which gets better the more pipes you're supplying if you provide headlift with just one pipe.

[stiff sparrow]

im unsure about whether the volume of fluid in a particular container contributes to "head lift" so its possible with some bigger fluid containers youd need more pumping to fill em all the way up but im not sure

[cinder briar]

They are currently setup on a rotating manifold system, where i run aropund gather some wood and leaves and input leaves/wood into two containers, this then get's sent off into a loop that converts them to biomass > solid biomass > feeds generators.

[placid stirrup]

Just tell us you don't know how to do 600/m fluids

[frozen cloud]

no its only the actual y distance, no matter how many buffers w.e. you have

[frozen cloud]

xd

[cinder briar]

Where can i read up on how fluids behave with distance etc in the game?

[placid stirrup]

#math-and-meta The Pible

[frozen cloud]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/images/3/39/Pipeline_Manual.pdf

[cinder briar]

Thank you <3

[stiff sparrow]

im not far enough in the game but im pretty sure theres a way to segment off some bits of ur grid

u should have biomass gens on standby to power just the water and coal acquisition

if ur grid is monolithic though dont waste your time with backup biomass gens rn cuz theyll just blow a fuse trying to power ur whole grid, then youll have to go find which power lines connect ur station to the grid and temporarily cut em and its a hassle

get some batteries up when u can so u never have to deal with a downed grid
