sometimes

[zenith pecan]

I just sucked up a lot of sulphur and nitrogen to use the blue crater.

[abstract heron]

debating on 940 RF for power then 4 for idk

or all RF

[zenith pecan]

Having all that power is very convenient.

My support tower is likely more overkill, it has 7776 power stores in it.

[tawny urchin]

Oh that’s a smart idea. Then I can have an extra freight cars and instead of a locomotive

Hello guy who is so helpful all the time

[near quarry]

[maiden smelt]

hey uh, what does temp mean when it's on a resource node?

like

[zenith pecan]

Hmpf, I wonder what google broke this time, I can't get youtube to load on: Edge, Opera, Firefox or Librewolf 🤦‍♂️

[maiden smelt]

it says that it's purity is temp

[tulip orchid]

I assume this is either on the map or with resoure scanner pings?
My best guess is it's a dev thing to make an entire cluster of nodes read as "one node" of the ~3 you tend to get with a resource scanner ping

[lost shell]

When using drones do all ports need access to fuel because my drones aint doing drone stuff right

[night phoenix]

how much versatile framework is a good amount? getting the 1k slowly rn but im not sure if it needs to be faster

[tawny urchin]

It doesn’t, while you’re doing other things it will fill up in no time

[lost shell]

I am trying to setup drones rn i am having a drone fly from a fuel point to a pickup point to a drop off point but it only goes to fuel and pickup not drop off

[prisma thicket]

If I hit Flush full pipe network, does that also empty the buffer in each generator or will those stay full?

[paper sand]

Should be everything on that pipe network aside from the buffers in the machines

[prisma thicket]

Hmmm ok, I may need to try doing that if my stuff keeps backing up

[crystal cedar]

i wann atest something out

lets see if i get timeout

nope

i dont

[full thunder]

whatca doin yall?

[vernal musk]

my in game to do list will not show when i add something to iy

[tough seal]

When manual crafting you can can tap SPACE to do it automatically... if you have a dimensional deport and set it to use inventory first. is there a way to STOP it from using the DD source once your inv empties... I tapped space, walked away got side tracked, and came back with loads more crafted than I wanted as it used my DD storage as well 😦

[tough seal]

Press the X in the corner to "save" don't press Esc.

[vernal musk]

did not work

[naive pendant]

@tough seal Nothing immediately comes to mind. Generally all the resources in the game are infinite, so you’re supposed to not really care about your issue.

[tough seal]

Thanks I thought that might be the case as I couldn't find an option,

[naive pendant]

But the only time you should care about that is for things you haven’t automated and have in the DD. So just manual pull the items to a storage container before manual crafting I guess.

[cold fable]

Anyone else think they should add a mk 3 pipe that uses ficsonium and copper sheets? For a 1200/min flow rate?

[prisma thicket]

That would be nice. Something else I'd love to see them add: Adjustable height ceiling hooks for belts

[green fiber]

They said they cant do that

Mk 2 Pipe is the absolute max

Its the limit of the pipe system

[prisma thicket]

Ahhhh, one pipe system flush later and my rocket fuel plant is running completely smoothly 😄

[vestal mica]

FORNOW

[prisma thicket]

True

[cedar warren]

what are the two remotes on the two hands and how do I unlock it ? I am on tier 2

[tacit crater]

how much power do u need to complete the game?

[vestal mica]

hoverpack is in tier 7

[tacit crater]

i got only two phases left and im producing about 67GW. do i need to build a nuclar power planet?

🙂 how much is all of it

[prisma thicket]

It depends on how big you make your production facilities. If you are willing to wait for parts, scaled down lines use much less power. If you want it done faster, you need lots more power.

[vestal mica]

you can't really quantify that, it depends on how much you want to be producing per minute or whatever at the time you finish

[tacit crater]

okay gigachad sigma alpha male

[vestal mica]

people have definitely finished with less than 67GW

[strange arrow]

Let alone power production consistency

[tacit crater]

not sure actually. hows the game meant to play? i mean everybody can finish the game with a one constructer if they dont mind to wait for parts

i been mewing since i was 6, my face is like a stick

[vestal mica]

so you just answered your own question

[tacit crater]

too narrow

[tacit crater]

what do u think is better? cuz i dif need to build a necular power planet but i dont know how big should i make it

[prisma thicket]

That's entirely up to you, you set your own pace in this game. If you want to build gigantic factories producing 100s of parts per minute, then go for it. If you want small streamlined production making the bare minimum to proceed, you can do that too.

[prisma thicket]

I'm cursed, everything is backing up again T_T

[tacit crater]

okay alright, i dont have all the time in the world to build giga factories so ima wrap this shit up quickly

[wicked nacelle]

anyone have problems with trains set to "full pickup and wait 15s" getting a full pickup and never leaving? Woke up to a starvomg SAM factory this morning. Finding posts of other people talking about it but hoping someone maybe knows a workaround. It works most of the time, of course.

[naive pendant]

@wicked nacelle I remember seeing posts about that bug when I was learning trains. Idk if it’s for sure still a thing. I standardized on schedules using “full/empty cargo OR 10,000 s” which is effectively how you do full/empty leave condition.

[wicked nacelle]

and you don't end up with stuck trains for 10000 seconds when there's cargo to move? - that wouldn't be an improvement for me

[naive pendant]

Has seemed fine with the testing I did and my 1.0 playthrough.

I know when I was testing I thought I saw some stuck trains but want to say that was before I swapped to the current schedule.

I do use single item type trains. Idk if that works if you only fill one of a multi wagon train.

[wicked nacelle]

yeah, this was a ENGINE/CAR/CAR train at a STATION/BLANK/FREIGHT station - usually works great as soon as the second car can be fully loaded (by stack count) it loads and the train leaves. but this morning it was just sitting there full

it is weird that it goes as soon as there is 1 item in the final stack instead of waiting for all the stacks to be full - but % wise that's tiny

[naive pendant]

@wicked nacelle Satisfactory does treat “full” as non-zero items in all item slots. So a full satisfactory train leaves ones there’s at least 1 item in the final slot. Kinda weird but oh well.

For train stuff in this game, 100% need to do small scale setups to verify your schedules, signaling, etc. functions how you want before implementing at scale. Will save a lot of time overall.

[wicked nacelle]

yean, it's no big deal as a % of the throughput for me and it would be essentially impossible to make a system that was that sensitive to small variations using a train system

[wicked nacelle]

I just take a guess and go to sleep and see what's broken in the morning (though it's usually signals not schedules)

or spaghetti train intersections too close to each other and there's a train deadlock

[naive pendant]

Yea. Kinda a lot of ways to mess up trains. People here mention the more advanced train stuff than other game discords like Factorio that use trains more. Safe exit block signaling doesn’t get mentioned much; ala intersections too close together.

Kinda due to satisfactory being 3D letting you avoid that type of intersection.

Guess factorio’s emphasis on scaling and 2D really forces a higher percent of people to scale train throughput. And many train issues you only need to think about when scaling throughput. So yea.

[jolly garnet]

Hey guys as someone who is getting a little tired of the modded MC journey- Would satisfactory be a good thing to move on to?

[azure swan]

You -might- just get a biased answer here.

[naive pendant]

People posting here inherently like the game and will say yes. Just watch some gameplay streams to see if you like it.

[jolly garnet]

That might be what I'm looking for lol

[azure swan]

If you're looking for someone to convince you to buy the game cause you already want to buy it, let me do you a favor.

Buy the game.

[jolly garnet]

Makes sense lol I'll check it out

[prisma thicket]

There's a few really good examples of satisfactory gameplay on YouTube - TotalXclipse and ImKibitz are personal favourites. Then there's the chaos gremlin version if you want that - LetsGameItOut - who likes to play the game as wrong as possible and tank the performance lol

[naive pendant]

WhatDarrenPlays is pretty chill also.

[astral fern]

I used to play a ton of modded MC with all the tech mods. Satisfactory has completely replaced that for me.

(500 hours in the last month. 🫠 )

[toxic zenith]

I'll chime in with a different answer here, just to be at least somewhat controversial:

Factorio is another fantastic automation game and it was originally inspired by a Minecraft tech mod (IndustrialCraft, to be specific.)

Both are fantastic games. Just don't call Satisfactory 3D Factorio or vice versa, they're not that similar.

[jolly garnet]

Thanks you two, Already downloading the game as we speak haha! It seems like a game I could dump 1000 hours into and then still want to go try to do thing a different way

Or maybe there are mods that expand things but either way it defintely looks insansely fun

[astral fern]

I would suggest not touching mods on the first playthrough. But there are a few fun ones once you get through it the first time

[jolly garnet]

Yeah I didn't plan on it- Maybe some QoL things that look nice but I

Not sure yet

[toxic zenith]

There are a few small QOL mods I wouldn't rule out, though one of my must-haves is now base game (hurray, sample tool grabbing color as well -- though it's not perfect)

But definitely at least get your feet coal power generators wet before you look into modding.

[astral fern]

I personally didn't touch any so I could appreciate. But to each their own.

I did a fully vanilla playthrough. A heavily modded playthrough. And then an experimental branch playthrough. And a friend just downloaded it, so we're going for playthrough 4 now. 😂

[jolly garnet]

I'm planning on playing experimental for my first playthrough- bad idea?

[toxic zenith]

Be aware it's a bit more buggy than release, but it's pretty stable right now in my experience.

[jolly garnet]

Heck I feel like if I can deal with modded MC I could deal with anything xD

[astral fern]

Eh. Not in my personal opinion.
A friend who hasn't played since update 4 just came back and started play on experimental as well.

Honestly, 1.1 hasn't had too many issues for me.

(especially if you did old modded MC, before everyone started being nice with launcher and proper modpacks)

[jolly garnet]

ohhh I remember those days

Not well- but I do remember them lol

[neon kraken]

question

[jolly garnet]

Half the day is spent diagnosing conflicting mods and then you put that on a server and it's a whole other kind of hell

[neon kraken]

how can i make a line of 60 fuel lines 30 of the sides and the pipe down the line and how do i fix the the like the last 4 not truning on

[toxic zenith]

Satisfactory at least supports mods (though they aren't first-class citizens with an in-game mod manager.) Minecraft I think never technically supported them until maybe recently? But I haven't played MC hard since 1.7.10 era soo

[humble glade]

Can someone help me with what to do with 1.000 rocket fuel/min? I dont think I have the time to build more than 200 fuel generators and the base generator usage for rocket fuel is for some reason not divisible by 600

[indigo osprey]

does every train stop for loading/unloading need a station?

[indigo osprey]

overclock generators

[untold pagoda]

why is aluminum confusing

[astral fern]

Generators, ionized fuel, or package it. I think those are literally your only options

[wet shoal]

Because you refuse to math I guess

[humble glade]

I havent yet automated overclock shards to have so many

[prisma thicket]

600 rocket fuel per minute I believe does 144 generators at 100% clock speed.

[neon kraken]

set the fuel gens to make 300mw or 600 mw it will take 5 or 10 per min

[indigo osprey]

sloops

[humble glade]

Not really, its way way more

[neon kraken]

600 rocket fuel is 36k power

[astral fern]

Fully overclocked it takes like 57.8ish?

[humble glade]

I think I have enough energy shards

[prisma thicket]

I just finished a rocket fuel plant, 150 generators for 625 fuel

[wet shoal]

Overslooped Slugjuicer-
It tastes like electric blueberry!
-# limited timer offer, consumption may cause internal burns and/or bleedings

[neon kraken]

my rocket fuel factory has 5,112 fuel gens

[indigo osprey]

?

[humble glade]

Yes, even if it doesnt have a load it stops

[prisma thicket]

I'm only doing a small one for now, I know you can get a ton more out of the system.

I'm only using 250 of the 1500 available nitrogen gas in the area, and not using any somersloops for production amp

[humble glade]

Darn, I have 1.000rocket fuel/min

[prisma thicket]

You need 240 generators for that much fuel, or overclocking a bunch.

[novel heron]

I keep having a Hatcher respawn through my foundations in Rocky Desert - it's not causing any errors, but it's annoying to kill every time I log into game

[humble glade]

Omg i was so confused, since every blender doing rocket fuel uses 60 turbo fuel and I have 1.200 turbo fuel, i have in fact 2.000 rocket fuel/min*

[prisma thicket]

Damn, how much oil are you using? xD

And 2000 per min means you need 240 gens clocked to 200% or 480 generators lol you might want to scale down your setup if you want fewer generators. Or package stuff and sink it.

[astral fern]

Probably just a pure node

[humble glade]

2 pure nodes, 1 into rubber, one into plastic, 600 heavy oil residue, diluted fuel to 1.200 normal fuel, and then 1.200 turbo fuel, which in fact makes 2.000 rocket

[astral fern]

1 normal node can give 600 rocket fuel, so I'm not surprised

[humble glade]

I was planning on only using 1.200 to generators, the 800 left package it and use it to power my super drone system for my mega uranium energy plant (planning in process)

[prisma thicket]

Sounds like a good plan.

[humble glade]

I am currently burning 1.200 turbo fuel in 160 generators how many more to burn 1.200 rocket

[prisma thicket]

288

[wicked nacelle]

overclocked rocket fuel burner burns 10.xxx/m

I just estimate with 10

[humble glade]

288 total or 288 more

[prisma thicket]

Total, 128 more

[humble glade]

How much underclock?

Or should I make it to just take in 4 and make 300 of them

[prisma thicket]

Shouldn't need any clock speed changes

[humble glade]

Rocket fuel burns at 4.167 and 1.200 is not divisible by it, it does 287.976

[wicked nacelle]

I suggest making runs of 30 pairs (60 burners) down one fuel line even if you're not overclocking them yet

then come back and overclock them all once you have shards automated

and then just repeat for each 600 rocket fuel you make

[humble glade]

I am full on the cloud of shards but thats it

[wicked nacelle]

that will get you plenty of power to get your nuclear online

and of course blueprints are great for laying down fuel generators (doubly so in 1.1 with autoconnections)

[humble glade]

Uhhh I am making 3 times my max cons rn, i just need a way to waste my 1.200 turbo and also make a rocket factory

[wicked nacelle]

shrug

what is your max cons, just curious

[humble glade]

3 times was a hyperbole, my max is 17,627 MW and my prod/cap is 31k something in theory

For some reason the fuel doesnt reach the last 20 generators

[vestal mica]

1200 / 4.16666666… divides evenly

[wicked nacelle]

I learned long ago -- don't bother with trucks and don't fight liquids

let them do what they want to do 🙂

[humble glade]

I hate trucks and I only have one train

But i have a like 300ft tower of generators

2 of them rn each w 80 on them

[wicked nacelle]

I love trains -- I did a nuclear plant once that was fully train supplied. It was like 20 train stations I think

This time I just did a little one right on top of most of the stuff I need

[humble glade]

In this playthrough im going to use 100% of the uranium usable, trains, drones, everything and I am going to use everything, convert, 0 waste, ficsit vision

[wicked nacelle]

I don't think that's possible - I don't think there's enough SAM - even fully slooped. Ficsonium slurps SAM down so fast

[humble glade]

I havent planned that far into it

I just have a 1.200 long ×1.200 wide foundation for now

[wicked nacelle]

I like to do nuclear processing tiers in vertical tiers... uranium fuel rods on the first floor, plutonium processing on the next, then ficsonium on the third. Helps me find things 🙂 Put all that above train stations on the ground floor

also gives me more room to expand each tier if needed (thouigh obiousdly not if 100% map -- can't expand past that)

[humble glade]

I dont understand the blue ring where the pumps* snap onto when going up

They are 51 meter above the one before it

[vestal mica]

if you mean pumps, they are showing how how high that pump will push water before you need another pump

[humble glade]

Yes I meant pumps mb

[humble glade]

But like, right there it says "exceding recomended limits"

[vestal mica]

yeah, i have found that the snap point is sometimes pushing the edge of what the pumps will actually do

unless there is a good reason not to, i usuually just move the next pump down a couple of meters from the recommended snap point to be safe

[humble glade]

I have one line that goes up and needs like 9 pumps

[wicked nacelle]

I have an autoconnecting blueprint that takes 8 pipes vertically - all I have to do is connect power on the outside wall power connector and I can go as high as I want with just a few clicks

[humble glade]

@wicked nacelle this is wrong bc I had a problem with my turbo fuel and it isnt making 100% for the moment

[humble glade]

Ooh, thats smart

I could have used that when making my towers of generators

[wicked nacelle]

it's a foundation with walls all around it and then 8 pipeline wall connectors around the inside

[humble glade]

They go so far up , at night the sky is clear and everything gets brighter

[humble glade]

Makes sense

[wicked nacelle]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/553550313533997057/1367233013338865776/image.png?ex=6813d678&is=681284f8&hm=69660ec872d0627f3a3f96aaca811faf7bc22e5432a54c3809aa15a8b886af43&

[vestal mica]

yeah, so being "safe" might mean you need one more pump than if you pushed each one to the limit, but 80 MW vs 72 MW, not a big deal

[wicked nacelle]

and autoconnect blueprints snap it together great in 1.1

[humble glade]

I am playing 1.1 but i never was very fond of blueprints

[dry bane]

where do i put my blueprints?

[wicked nacelle]

I wasn't either and autoconnect is still annoying in situations where there's other stuff around -- it tries to make connections to things that are invalid shapes - and then stops you from placing it because the invalid connections

[wicked nacelle]

I don't understand your question

[dry bane]

i mean wheres the file folder to add blueprints

[wicked nacelle]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/553550313533997057/1367235141189242880/image.png?ex=6813d873&is=681286f3&hm=ee2b043441667c4f30eda1c6737cfe336af0b0bb8fca489422f2579d7423d1ce& it's also great for moving water horizontally

[wicked nacelle]

You mean like if you downloaded some?

[dry bane]

ye

[wicked nacelle]

%LOCALAPPDATA%\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames\blueprints\

[dry bane]

theres no blueprints folder

i just see my saves

[wicked nacelle]

have you made any blueprints in game? maybe it doesn't make it until you need it

[dry bane]

nop

[wicked nacelle]

then I suggest you either make the directory yourself or just make one in game and see if it pops up

even when autoconnect is dumb for things like pipes, it still shows you how long you can build it, which is handy on its own even if you have to remake the connections by hand

[dry bane]

alright

ok it created

thx

[humble glade]

@wicked nacelle can you help me w the rocket fuel thing? How many generators and how much over/underclock

[wicked nacelle]

https://satisfactory-calculator.com/en/planners/power/index/generator/Build_GeneratorFuel_C/fuel/Desc_RocketFuel_C/powerOutput/1000

it doesn't seem to let you specify fuel amount but just change the "power output" until it matches your fuel

if you say you have no power shards, it will calculate for 100%

AI expansion server sink points don't seem high enough for their cost/difficulty. warp drive doesn't seem much harder and is worth a TON more. Am I missing something?

warp drive is a bit more complicated, but expansion server needs SO MUCH SAM

[green fiber]

its not that much SAM

most of the dark matter cost is returned to you from encoding

the main cost from the warp drive stems from the fact that its made with Thermal rockets AND nuclear pasta

which are already really long recipe chains

you dont really get compensated for "raw resource cost of product" but instead for "crafting steps needed to make this"

.. except for alien power matrices.
those are really, really worthless

[dry bane]

[prisma thicket]

There's blueprints for that, you can do up to 25 foundations at once with the mark 2 blueprint maker, not sure about the mark 3. It let's you setup and save chunks of a factory you build often to speed up the process and make it easier.

[jaunty jewel]

Hey what's a good place to build a rocket fuel power plant

[dense violet]

just like every other factory, wherever is near your resources.
you can use SCIM to scout

or alternatively, nuclear

hey chat, so in my older playthrough i spawned in the grasslands ofcourse, my first ever one. but for this one i spawned in the sandyish area, where do i get wood and leaves from in large amounts? sitting here making a semi-auto biomass energy factory and im struggling with the items (wood and leaves)

[jolly garnet]

Guys I found my new crack cocaine..

[junior laurel]

Welcome Pioneer.
Maybe don't refer to the game as crack 😅
Like I know it is but still

[neat marlin]

I need some tips...the game is super appealing in every aspect to me but I can't seem to keep attention. I think its because Im just unsure of what to do

[mossy moon]

you automate the parts you havent automated

and research the next tiers and unlocks

[neat marlin]

also should I continue my save that I have a bad location on? or would it be better to just start clean

[mossy moon]

you could just move to a difernet location on the current save and use the existing infrastructure to help speed up building a whole new system

[neat marlin]

any spots I should travel to?

[dense violet]

they all have pluses and minus but are mostly the same

the game forces you to spread out.

[mossy moon]

you could just cover up the existing ones and just make a better one next to it

[dense violet]

the northern forests has the most nodes in a small area but it also forces you to build vertically

[mossy moon]

idk just find a big flat nice area with resouce nodes, also imo its more fun to explore on your own than use tools and stuff to find shit even if it takes longer

[stiff sparrow]

I assume this has been suggested before but the jetpack and the hover pack really ought to be merged

It should just fail over to jetpack mode if there are no power sources nearby

[toxic zenith]

Today I learned that the dimensional depot is just a tiny bit taller than a regular storage container, so if I built an industrial storage (for base building supply hub) on top of a regular storage container with plans to replace it with a dimensional depot the containers won't actually fit.

[rigid flint]

okay so i successfully automated every item independently up untill tier 8 and now tier 9 feels too easy if i just drone in everything to automate it

this normal or am i missing something?

[jolly garnet]

Damn I should've undervolted a longg time ago

Just earned 10 degrees from it

No performance hit

[lament niche]

congratz on the 10 college degrees

[dense violet]

it's as easy as you want to make it.

it's a sandbox so really your projects are up to you.

[jolly garnet]

I probably should go back to school huh

You know what they say though.. If you can't finish school you can always finish concrete

[mossy moon]

i thought that was just a bug bcs i can remove the container above it and then switch the bottom one for a dimentional depot and then stack an industrial container and it lines up perfectly with the belts, (conveyor lifts (which i used) extend in 1m increments and even if the machine is just barely lower or higher it wont connect but it does conect to the storage conatiner above the depot)

[prisma thicket]

Is it worth it to automate Iodine filters if I don't plan on doing anything with nuclear aside from what's absolutely necessary?

there's also 2 whole channels that could be dedicated for talking about this while posting pictures of it

[mossy moon]

uh quick question. is it a good idea to send multiple types of items with 1 drone port?

[dense violet]

as long as you manage the sorting and throughput, why not?

[mossy moon]

i got 4 drone ports and i want to ship 2 difernet items but i want to save as many ports as i can for future
the 2 items are only 40 quickwire per min and 5 aliminum casings per min

[dense violet]

ok

[mossy moon]

will anything back up in weird ways bcs 1 item clogs up adn the other item cant get through and the whole thing stops?

[dense violet]

that's what 'managing the sorting' is about

have a smart splitter and buffers for each item

[mossy moon]

ig i could overflow sink it from the output side if anything gets wonky

ok ill try it out

[dense violet]

and yeah you'll need an over flow sink possibly.

unless you have the other end ready and set up to use all the materials

[prisma thicket]

Setup a smart or programmable splitter right out of the drone ports receiving line and you should be fine

Are heatsinks needed for anything aside from production of other items? Like should I have some in the depot or have them be like screws and just have them be one part of a production line?

[prisma thicket]

Is it better to transport nitrogen as packaged or can it be put on a train as is?

[tall lantern]

"better" is always in the eye of the beholder, but nitrogen does have the benefit that it compresses well

[prisma thicket]

Can it be transported by train? I'm realizing for my next project I'll be needing to ship in a few resources, so I might be setting up trains anyways.

[tall lantern]

sure

[prisma thicket]

Alright, thanks

[olive condor]

Greetings Pioneers. 👋

[prisma thicket]

👋

[olive condor]

And nice and calm holiday to the german ones. 🙂

[exotic garnet]

hi if anyone remember me I'm sorry for past drama

[tall lantern]

and if they don't remember you, now they know what to expect 😄

[junior laurel]

[dense violet]

moving gas by train w/o packages is ... not great

gas behaves very poorly in buffers

[prisma thicket]

Blargh, roughly how many empty fluid tanks should I have on hand to package gas and ship it that way then? I'm assuming a fair bit. Also, is it difficult to have trains unload one freight car and load another at one station then do the reverse at another?

[dense violet]

1. depends on how much gas you're moving pm
2. it's very easy

1b) also depends on the return trip

[rancid turret]

also gases compress well in fluid tanks

[tall lantern]

too slow 😛

[prisma thicket]

Well I'm trying to setup Fused modular frames, and I need nitric acid for my setup... considering just changing the placement of the factory and have it close to the gas to minimize hassle.

[dense violet]

could just drone it. Drones are very convenient for gas

[ocean frost]

remember that one packager can package / unpackage 600 nitrogen with power shards

[dense violet]

but seriously, just fill up the train platform with filled gas and have an isc of empties ready to be filled

[prisma thicket]

I think I'll take the train approach, don't have the supply line setup for drone fueling.

Thanks for all the suggestions

[zenith pecan]

If you don't mind having a causeway, you csn belt the nitrogen and the return for empty bottles.

I only pipe the stuff because it's simple, and doesn't care about normal popeline rules with headlift.

[prisma thicket]

While I would do that, I've recently found I prefer laying train lines rather than pipes/belts over long distances.

[zenith pecan]

I never quite managed the throughput vs travel time thing with trains, my train would either not move enough, or inputs would back up.

My long distance pipe and beltwork is usually in underground tunnels.

[jade apex]

does the pope have higher throughput or something ? 😅

[zenith pecan]

Blame the phone keyboard for that dumb typo, as for the pope, given his current state, I'd assume lower throughput 😵‍💫

[dense violet]

pope has tons of throughput

infinite in fact

[tall lantern]

maybe not right now mind

[dense violet]

nah, they never stop being the conduit for god

[ocean frost]

Pope exe is no longer working hotfix is coming soon

[zenith pecan]

Keys on my phone are like half the size of my fingertips, and my hands are small, expect typos when I'm at work 😜

[ocean frost]

half the time if you set it to wait till empty & wait 0 seconds makes things flow smoother

[junior laurel]

Womp womp

Yeah phones are shite

[zenith pecan]

I just went full ham on logistics tunnels.

[prisma thicket]

Man am I looking forward to straight build mode for pipes

[jade apex]

pope is in experimental

[zenith pecan]

Experimental?, Pope.exe was legacy code, way out of date.

[jade apex]

pope update

[zenith pecan]

Reinstall more like, from scratch.

Back on topic 🤣 , I'm planning on moving all the worlds SAM to the dunes.

[ocean frost]

we need 2/3 verify game integrity

[junior laurel]

My current project is getting all the SAM on the map too 👀

[prisma thicket]

Man, it feels bad to be using a pure bauxite node for only 300/minute xD

[untold pagoda]

wheres the best place for aluminum factory that has all the ingridients close together

[prisma thicket]

That depends on what recipes you're using.

[true mulch]

👆 just look at https://satisfactory-calculator.com/en/interactive-map, enable all nodes and choose

(as with any factory)

[untold pagoda]

alumina solution and aluminum scrap, atleast thats the plan for now

[prisma thicket]

Then you'll need coal, quartz and bauxite, plus copper if you're making alclad sheets. I know there's a spot in the red bamboo biome with the coal and bauxite close together, with copper not too far away, but I'm not sure about the quartz.

[untold pagoda]

i think ik about what ur talking about, if im right i have it planned in the area, can i dm u the ss or smt?

[prisma thicket]

Sure

[zenith pecan]

Last time I built a bauxite refinery, I moved most of it to the dunes, not ideal but pfft.

[prisma thicket]

That sounds like a long ass belt highway/tunnel lol

[zenith pecan]

It was, it actually from west coast to the east.

[prisma thicket]

Holy crap xD that's some dedication to your goals lol

[zenith pecan]

I do go kind of nuts when I build.

[viral vector]

I probably should have checked if they fixed the hypertube clipping issue before trying to make a cyclotron

Now I'm dizzy

[zenith pecan]

I plan to rebuild the coast to coast bauxite highway in my current save.

When I think its ready 😜

I want to complete the bauxite highway, and the SAM highway.

Plan is simple, move ALL of both resources.

I' collect all of uranium again too.

[prisma thicket]

Mmmm uranium, all that radioactive goodness. I love the ADA lines when you unlock the nuclear power stuff lol

[junior laurel]

teehee spicy rocks

[zenith pecan]

When I do nuclear, you dont get much radioactivity.

[prisma thicket]

How do you manage that? Is it because of your underground tunnels shielding you? 😛

[zenith pecan]

Nope, radiological load balancing, spaced structures, feeding stuff via roof mounting and timing, 0 manifolds.

My last save consumed the entire world supply of uranium, and the only marginally radioactive space was the plutonium fuel rod factory.

You could hug a reactor and never see the radiation bar.

[junior laurel]

I love the taste of green :D

[zenith pecan]

How do you tasteмзжзшк?

Lol shit, space swiped keymap fail 🤦‍♂️

Take#2, How do you taste colour? Haha 🤣

[junior laurel]

synesthesia, unironically :)

semi ironically?..

[frozen cloud]

that tasted purple

would sommersloops or mercer spheres taste better
i feel like mercer spheres would have a nice pop to them

[zenith pecan]

I'm actually struggling with cases in русский, And the fun and games with non-stressesed "о" sounding like "а" with no indication in the written words 😵‍💫

[prisma thicket]

Ok, still learning how gases function in game. They flow up just fine on their own, which also makes them not great in buffers. Do they flow down easily or do you need something to push them like a pump?

[frozen cloud]

nope dont need pumps

[ocean frost]

they flow to the lowest presure of a system

[prisma thicket]

Ahhhhh ok, that makes sense, thank you. So if I were to harvest from on top of a cliff and pipe them down to a packager and train station on a lower level, that would be just fine?

Or would it be better to package them up top and belt the bottles down to the train?

[frozen cloud]

just think of it as water but you dont need pumps

[boreal musk]

from my experience with gasses, the shorter the pipe system are, the better it works

[frozen cloud]

ive had 2km nitrogen pipes
theyre fine

[boreal musk]

at straight line sure

[chrome cloud]

That's literally what I said, "blueprints but bad"

no they're not, lol

[ocean frost]

should be fine just don't complicate the pipes too much

[chrome cloud]

Awful chore to set up and use

[frozen cloud]

is mk1 a mk5 but "bad"?
no its game design

[chrome cloud]

the game design of having blueprints that are bad

[frozen cloud]

yes
intentionally limiting the player
like with belt throguhput
or pipe throughput
or slow machines

[reef basin]

But my message is not saying they are bad, it's saying they are different (and imo good)

[boreal musk]

gasses doesnt work really well with buffers, best to package them if you want to bring it with trains, and gasses are condensed when packaged, iirc its 4:1 and 2:1 instead of 1:1 for liquid

[chrome cloud]

don't talk to me about belt throughput in this game lol no thought was put into that

[leaden turret]

are you using them for small repeated segments of factory, infrastructure, or aesthetics?

[viral vector]

what? XD

[dense violet]

Yeah at this point ‘git gudd’ needs to be applied

[chrome cloud]

this community is hilariously snooty and defensive about bad design choices

aye mate not my fault that they're an awful chore

[viral vector]

So do most players

[prisma thicket]

Yah, that's what I was planning after some suggestions by others here 😄

[atomic notch]

Bros mad bc the game is hard

[dense violet]

This started a day ago and they are still ranting about things. Not worth listening to

[chrome cloud]

Be polite

[leaden turret]

I moan about the insufficiently thought out build grid feature at any opportunity, I think this is just you.

[frozen cloud]

well there was
a lot
evident by the huge amount of changes to belts throughout through the history
so maybe mark is just a better game designer than you
which is ok, he does it 8 hours 5 days a week and hes just insanely talented and has a lot of experience

[chrome cloud]

It's not polite to talk about people in third person while they're present in the conversation

[leaden turret]

Good morrow fine person, do please enjoy the commencement of being muted

[chrome cloud]

I logged back in and saw a bunch of @ highlights, so i'm responding. Weirdo.

[viral vector]

I know what I'm about, but thanks for the head's-up

[viral vector]

It's not polite to call a dev's decision bad in their own discord

What's your problem with belts anyway? They have loads of throughput

[frozen cloud]

you ever consider that its you thats wrong and not the 100 of thousand of players enjoying this game?
its fine not every game is for everyone
maybe just try another game, theres tons out there

[viral vector]

And you don't even need bots to make them

[dense violet]

Nah, that’s fine. Just have proper arguments for it

[chrome cloud]

Millions of flies cannot be wrong

[leaden turret]

don't hold up pants properly

[dense violet]

There’s a few bad choices in the game, they’re just making wild statements with no arguments

[frozen cloud]

maybe you have a low mk

[viral vector]

Not a problem if you wear a dress, smh, skill issue

[chrome cloud]

that's what the feedback is about

[leaden turret]

@open bone Mk.6 Belt Buckle, when?

[leaden turret]

I prefer pockets

[dense violet]

Why not both?

[chrome cloud]

when the counterarguments are "get good" and "have you considered that trillions like it"?

[viral vector]

That's my question WHY NOT??

[junior laurel]

What am I reading?

[hybrid crystal]

It's not polite to call people names.

[viral vector]

Well, let me lend a voice that's not those 2

[viral vector]

Give me pockets dammit! Still not wearing those leg prisons you call "pants"

[chrome cloud]

so here's an easy example. compare the mk1 belt throughput to the output of a screw constructor. see how it can't physically unload the machine?

[viral vector]

Ok "Zenon" :P

[viral vector]

That's what the MK2 belts are for

[chrome cloud]

so you can't unload the machine using the belts that are constructed

[frozen cloud]

no
im saying that game design is really hard
a lot of thought has went into it
if its too slow its tedious if its too fast its not a challenge
people dont give game devs enough credits where a simple varibale like belt throughput has HUGE impact on how much people enjoy your game
thing is its a job
you spend 40 hours per week on it
making spreadsheets
gathering player feedback
looking frough qa site on what people think
and eventually come up with the number "780"
they didnt just pull it out of their ass, A LOT of work went in to finetuing numbers like that

[leaden turret]

clothes where the top is torso is connected to the legs just seems weird

[chrome cloud]

factorio has a similar design problem with copper wires

copper wires are too fast for a belt

[viral vector]

That's like complaining that an MK1 inserter can't unload a wire making machine in factorio

[chrome cloud]

this comes with an elegant solution of using direct insertion instead of belts

[junior laurel]

Direct 3:2 green circuits :)

[chrome cloud]

which you are meant to discover on your own

[frozen cloud]

its not a problem
its a challenge
otherwise the game is boring

just like direct feeding screws

[viral vector]

Always, I only really use belts for reds

[chrome cloud]

satisfactory has the elegant solution of "uhhh just use a faster belt later idk"

[leaden turret]

game can't be boreing, has no augur 🥁

[junior laurel]

saaaame

[chrome cloud]

it's a problem that has a solution

[leaden turret]

@void gorge would still like to see Mark's spreadsheets

[chrome cloud]

you cannot direct feed screws, only beltfeed them

[frozen cloud]

bro i wanna see those spreadsheet

[chrome cloud]

because the game doesn't have direct insertion

[leaden turret]

you want to what those spreadsheets?

[viral vector]

That's kinda the whole gameplay, get better stuff to get more efficiency

[frozen cloud]

directly belt fed as opposed to manifolded

[chrome cloud]

so instead of having the option of designing your factories more efficiently you should just wait to get better machines

incredible content

[mortal ginkgo]

I got the feeling game is about also finding out different recipes so you use ores lesser, such as adding water to it etc.

[chrome cloud]

options are bad

[viral vector]

You know factorio is the same right?

[frozen cloud]

no thats just a bad approach
you progress through the tiers using your best available tech

[viral vector]

Also, it's always a balance

[frozen cloud]

well yes and no
factorio blue belt is 3x faster (12 with stacking)
satisfactory mk6 belt is 60x faster

[chrome cloud]

it literally isn't? i just explained to you that the problem of "belt is too slow for machine" can be avoided in factorio through intelligent factory design

[viral vector]

what? XD

[tall lantern]

as it can in this game

[viral vector]

I meant like basic assembler vs beaconed foundry

[chrome cloud]

explain the intelligent factory design through which i will be able to unload a screw constructor using a mk1 belt

[frozen cloud]

man i wish we could overclock above 250% with mk2 power shards

[boreal musk]

you can do that in this game by "under clocking" the machine to match the throughput for your current belt tier 😆

[frozen cloud]

sushi xd

[tall lantern]

seeing as screws are made at 40/min, that easily fits on a 60/min belt

[junior laurel]

The idea of sushing screws makes me want to cry

[viral vector]

Basic inserter still can't handle a lot of stuff, so you need fast/bulk/stack

[chrome cloud]

brilliant. you can also just not plug the machine so it fully unloads its 0/minute screw output

[viral vector]

@chrome cloud This

[frozen cloud]

#math-and-meta message
sushi 40 screws + 20 rods for 1 mk1 belt + 1 screw belt for 100/min screws using only mk1 belts

[zenith pecan]

Don't go full ебанутый on producing screws in the early game, produce screws inline with consumption, mk1 works fine if you build appropriatly.

[viral vector]

Speaking of which, you can easily fit the output from a wire assembler in factorio onto one belt

[junior laurel]

This is an English only server, please insult people in English so we can warn you correctly :)

[viral vector]

On to 1 lane even

[dense violet]

Pockets are great, don’t know what I’d do w/o them

[frozen cloud]

not in the lategame with beacons

[chrome cloud]

While that is true it would not be sufficient for any serious green circuit production

[viral vector]

That's options, also, pretty sure it can with stack inserters and greens

[frozen cloud]

nah beaconed foundries are insane

[viral vector]

Get in the sea ya git! XD

[chrome cloud]

Belt-feeding is functional for reds

[junior laurel]

So this became Satisfactorio

[frozen cloud]

always has been

[leaden turret]

misread as "not in the lasagne with beacons"

[viral vector]

Always, no?

[frozen cloud]

yum

[junior laurel]

Only most of the time

[frozen cloud]

wait till someone mentions main bus

[junior laurel]

... but you just did

[viral vector]

a wire assembler

[viral vector]

Can't stand it

[frozen cloud]

main bus is best bus
in both games

[viral vector]

Rails in factorio, uh... not sure about S, only got like 1.5k hours in it

[junior laurel]

I foundry wires, direct into a green circuit electro plant I love it

[frozen cloud]

its working

[junior laurel]

Now all of China knows you're here!

[mortal ginkgo]

Oh God please don't tell me we need bus in this game D:

[viral vector]

nah

[junior laurel]

The wheels on the bus go round and round 💀

[boreal musk]

doing nuclear in factorio is fun, especially when you build them in the middle of your mega base

[frozen cloud]

you dont have to
i think its better
but some people (wrongly) disagree

[mortal ginkgo]

Thank you. You saved a life today.

[mortal ginkgo]

That's what a heretic bus enjoyer would say! 😡

[frozen cloud]

man i wish we had proper drones in this game

[mortal ginkgo]

Aren't drones cool? I am aiming to use tons of them.

[frozen cloud]

not as cool as in DSP since they need fuel

[junior laurel]

Fuel is just solid power :)

[viral vector]

XD

[mortal ginkgo]

Ah, DSP, my beloved.

I think what's worse is as I start playing this game, I will miss blueprint the most.

This game's blueprint system feels.. odd.. like... wrong?

No offense, not everything has to be same.

[viral vector]

I know what you mean

I'm factorio main and no ctrl+c is... painful

[frozen cloud]

its defenitely different but i kinda like it
stamping down huge blueprints just gets kinda boring after a while
its like youre playing a different game at that point

[mortal ginkgo]

Ya, I mean, the fact that I can't select a specific part in game and not copy paste it (not even copy paste it to a blueprint maker) feels so restritctive to me.

[junior laurel]

I would like bigger ones but like I get it
Just because I get it doesn't mean I disagree with it.
For instance the bio burners having a belt input now.

I don't agree with it but I get it

[viral vector]

Hell, I played F before we even had that, back when you had to craft BPs from circuits and something else manually

[atomic notch]

Middle mouse button

[junior laurel]

This game needs a ctrl+z

[mortal ginkgo]

You actually gave me a knowledge that.. I can agree on!

[viral vector]

I think the burners having a belts is good since you still have to do some stuff manually, i.e. input

[frozen cloud]

actually deleting blueprints is a nice middle ground

[junior laurel]

To me; personally... AS all things I say are.
Factorio and Satisfactory are equal in what they aim to be.
Top of their class, the best and equal in value.
I have 5300 hours in Factorio and 4ksomething in Satis.

I see them as equals.

[mortal ginkgo]

Yeah, the thing is, DSP made me too happy about 3D factory shenanigans that I can't really play 2D without seeing sky or above. Maybe its a mental issue that I feel limited even I am not etc

[viral vector]

People talking about the 3 big automation games, but no-one going to mention the OG? Technic SSP?

[mortal ginkgo]

We got portals already = 100% HL3 confirmation here folks.

[zenith pecan]

My not so subtle way of saying dont go crazy, If I insult someone, I do it directly, and I tend not to do that much here as I gave no reason to.

At least I know what grass looks like

[frozen cloud]

ye i see it everyday in my seablock run

[zenith pecan]

Nope, never said that either, not in my native language English, nor my half a second language русский, 😜

[junior laurel]

Can't wait for the complexity of pyanodons to be expanded to Space age.

And than multiply it with Space Exploration Space Age ||(I've heard from [redacted] sources it is almost ready for public)||

[frozen cloud]

i wish satisfactory had cool mods like pyanadons or bobs and angels
SF+ just doesnt cut it for me

[zenith pecan]

I still haven't messed with mods, a save potentially getting completely broken is offputting to me (patches yay)

[junior laurel]

I don't actually care too much for Py/Bobs/Angels. Since they basically just add a 100 crafts in between normal steps
Things like new planets mechanics is what I love!
Unironically Space Age is exactly what I look for in mods and I've currently playing a "all the modded planets" run
Warptorio is one of the wild ones that I loved
SF+ does have quite a few new mechanics like the slug breeding, I haven't seen how much has changed since U8 since a lot of things would've changed

[zenith pecan]

Slug breeding would be redundant thanks to fully automated shadrs.

[junior laurel]

I played SF+ in U8 on my old computer.
I couldn't get past trains.
Because my computer was on it's way out 🫡
I think my new rig can get through it

I wonder what they replaced that with cuz I loved the multicoloured slugs that needed certain breeding conditions

Annnd haven't played with mods since U8 because I completed 1.0 and was a lil burnt but I have been playing 1.1 for the sake of reporting bugs like a good lil pioneer owo

[wet shoal]

Satisfactory will probably never feature farming or breeding since the devs explicitly want you to exploit the planet in the most disgusting manner, so any remotely natural process is outruled.

[junior laurel]

A couple comments on farming have been mentioned in passing

[wet shoal]

I have seen mods that allow for biofuel automation via plantboxes. I liked those a bit, but then again, its a source meant to be inconvenient.

[junior laurel]

But FICSIT is against renewables like solar

Geothermal is... that weird semi renewable?

[wet shoal]

Nah its just outright renewable.

[chrome cloud]

being against solar is befuddling

it's literally free electricity

[mortal ginkgo]

Could there be a lore reason about not liking sun etc.

[chrome cloud]

and you're already using renewables

[abstract heron]

anyone?

[junior laurel]

I cannot sight my source because it was said on a stream and I don't want to go digging.
That can be an exercise for the reader

[mortal ginkgo]

I assume Ficsit really loves infinite AND consistent stuff unlike solar where Sun can be rude and like, go away time to time.

[wet shoal]

Lore reason is: Exploit, not merely harness.

[mortal ginkgo]

Yeah, they are fixed on the exploit everything pretty harshly.

[wet shoal]

Perhaps ficsit intends to leave obtained planets in a state completely useless to any competitor that might come later,
immortalizing their monopoly.

[junior laurel]

"What do you mean the sun is off?"
No.. it's behi- it's night...

[mortal ginkgo]

[mortal ginkgo]

yes but its not pretty then Q_Q

[wet shoal]

You can make balancers pretty and compact. Pretty compact I might even say.

[atomic notch]

Just 1 splitter then 2-3 manifolds

Idk

[wet shoal]

I guess its still a manifold of sorts.

[atomic notch]

Ive built some crazy manifolds tho

[frozen cloud]

sadly the ores are so similar that its hard to see it as 2 items

[junior laurel]

No? that's balanced, it splits and splits again

[junior laurel]

Correct! 💀

[wet shoal]

Yes, but thats also what a manifold does.

Splits again and again.

A balancer makes sure every output is equal

[junior laurel]

It balances tho...

[wet shoal]

Thus, balanced

[junior laurel]

It's single input sushi, iron alloy and copper alloy recipes

[wet shoal]

Well perhaps I wasn't able to tell correctly

[junior laurel]

Iron and copper ores are kinda hard to tell apart

[mortal ginkgo]

manifold eveytually becomes a compact boi by itself.

It just takes time or you can manually fill first few buildings once if you have excess

[wet shoal]

Well yeah, but takes more splitters.

[frozen cloud]

now the real tech is vertical auto connecting manifolds

[wet shoal]

Not that I care lol

[mortal ginkgo]

I assume that solves itself with le blueprints

[wet shoal]

Do whatever
Satisfactory is a performance clusterf*ck

[mortal ginkgo]

😔

[wet shoal]

So why even optimize

[mortal ginkgo]

what hurts most the performance? Long belts etc?

[atomic notch]

Imo is the shadows

[mortal ginkgo]

Madness

[wet shoal]

Yeah probably long belts with capacity exceeding what you actually need are among top contenders, alongside power storages for some reason.

But someone more enlightened may be better for that sort of discussion

[frozen cloud]

man i wish i could get a lobotomy so exploring could be fun again
right now its just such a chore to get hard drives/artefacts

[wet shoal]

Thats graphics, graphics can be turned off. More interested in stuff of actual factory computation.

[atomic notch]

Oh

Then idk man i never had problems

[wet shoal]

I know for a fact people keep hitting obectlimit, meaning "too much stuff to compute, bye savefile"

[zenith pecan]

Break the object limit and keep building.

[atomic notch]

#screenshots message what yall think of my 27 assembler manifold

[junior laurel]

The team do what they can to optimize the game. Belts alone have been touched like 50 times

[wet shoal]

I guess its neat

[frozen cloud]

still think its funny that the mk6 lift doesnt show items moving since they would be too fast and nobody notices xD

[mortal ginkgo]

manifoldin'.

I would rate it 8/10

it could manifold more tbh

[atomic notch]

Lol

[wet shoal]

this sounds dirty
poor belts

[atomic notch]

Maybe ill do 27 manufacturers next time

[mortal ginkgo]

I would rate that 9/10. Now get to work.

what yall think of my 20 manufacturer vertical manifold

[junior laurel]

They been ripped apart and glued back together often enough

[hazy gust]

Guys

I need your help, I just joined for this lol I would appreciate if someone could assist me

[junior laurel]

Gals

[atomic notch]

Awesome

[hazy gust]

My friend and I were playing yesterday on his world, and his internet went kaboom. When it came back, it restarted our progress to like 3 days ago. We managed to get the sav file from 3 minutes before the crash, but so far no luck on booting the game with the save file loaded.

Anyone has any ideas on how to fix this?

[wet shoal]

Missed a perfect chance to say ficsit at the end

shame

[hazy gust]

lol fr

but people could've thought I was trolling

And I'm kinda losing my mind over this lmao

[atomic notch]

Might get better help from #1038092680493801533

[wet shoal]

Well best to open a thread in the question and help section,
best to attach also any error messages that pop up and stuff.
Can't help with your issue, im a satisfactory loner

[atomic notch]

Cuz idk man

[zenith pecan]

I've seen it before where an object on the map got corrupted, the monent you're within render distance, it just exits to desktop with no crash reporter.

[junior laurel]

Would throwing it into SCIM help?

[zenith pecan]

I did sort it with scim, the file in question had a crashy foundation, it stopped crashing then, the incident is in my post history, but thats back in U7.

It was another players save however.

[junior laurel]

So you're saying there's a chance?

[zenith pecan]

Doable, but it will be at the end of a chain of object deletions near players, not a fun experience ghough.

[hazy gust]

I've used the SCIM but it says the version isn't compatible lol

[zenith pecan]

Are you on 1.1?

[hazy gust]

I've asked him for a save from a few minutes before the crash, gonna see if it works

nah, 1.0

[zenith pecan]

Odd, the file itself might be completely done for if scim can't load it 😞

[hazy gust]

the weird thing is that the world has loaded, but from 3 days ago progress

and we did some stuff on those three days

[spark ruin]

R.I.P.

[junior laurel]

Back up your saves

[hazy gust]

yeah I guess it's done lmao

[atomic notch]

did you lose any progress or just production

[unkempt blade]

For MP saves especially I really liked just doing a one way sync to google drive. Was super easy to set up and it made it easier for my friends to do keep their own copies if they wanted them

[mossy moon]

ok so i did testing and i found out that you can make multiple drone ports send diferent items to the same port and it works, i think this is similar to what a sushi belt is (but idk never seen one). tho i only used a very low throughput of 40 per min and i spammed buffers and sinks everywhere i could bcs i thought it would help prevent a clogging

also re-found out you cant sink powershards and the system making that clogged up the other systems and nearly took down my entire fuel powerplant bcs i built it there and had drones using it as fuel (not good design)

[hazy gust]

I've done it!

There was a backup from 21:30 that he didn't see lmao

we lost about 1 hour and a half of progress

better than 3 days ig lmao, thank you guys for your help, the SCIM tip was helpful

[static surge]

I hate building railways

it sucks

so much

As though Coffee Stain TRIED to make them annoying

[true mulch]

there are some improvements to their placement in 1.1

[static surge]

good

[true mulch]

• connections across blueprints allow you to blueprint the whole support structure including the railway

in 1.0, the fastest way to build them is either using foundation bridges or blueprinted supports to lay the railway on

[brave horizon]

Question

Why does the nitrogen not pump

Like through pipes

[true mulch]

gases don't have head lift

[brave horizon]

Do they have down lift?

[true mulch]

afaik they try to push themselves up

but that could be just my (wrong) observation

[wet shoal]

As gases are far less affected by gravity they don't give a shit about height

[true mulch]

you can't control their flow using pumps, the pumps will always idle if placed on a gas pipe

[brave horizon]

Sooooo

How do I work with gasses

[true mulch]

just like with liquids but don't place pumps

[dense violet]

basically like fluids but w/o headlift

[brave horizon]

But they don’t work…..

XD

[wet shoal]

Well then tell us what you did

[true mulch]

if you want help with screenshots, open a #1038092680493801533 thread

[wet shoal]

probably unpowered extractor node or some shit lol

[brave horizon]

Oh

Ok…

[neat osprey]

My friend wants to join my game, so when I loaded I selected Steam session, and join by invite, but when I load the game I can only invite him to watch, not to join. What gives?

[solar forge]

I'm my brain is confused every step of the way (trying to get the objective done but I think I'm in it over my head, currently on getting phase 3 done)

[mossy moon]

you make small chunks of it at a time, and you could work backward from the final product machines if you have a goal for final parts per min or work forward from the raw resources if you are limited by a resource and want to produce the most you can from it, you will probably be doing both at difernet times and places

[solar forge]

I think the last thing would be the best but I think I'm already in to deep

I have everything I need, yet its trying to get everything for the final product ready

I can send ss if need be

[mossy moon]

if you have the resources then working backward from the final step in production is what i think is best

[solar forge]

So for where I am I started from the beginning then got carried away with the other parts

so I'm all over the place

[mossy moon]

its fine youll eventually get there

trust the process yk

[solar forge]

fair but my brain is melting

[mossy moon]

then take breaks to think ig?

[solar forge]

is it ok if I send some ss of what I have done? sorry I'm going to send it in the ss instead

[atomic notch]

Brain melting? Happens lol

[mossy moon]

ye but you can only send pictures in #screenshots or #design-and-architecture (last one for non automation stuff ig)

#screenshots message looks like you making good progress, dont really know what your trying to produce or how much of it and what your struggling with

[mossy moon]

ye do that

[supple canopy]

just to make sure: we can't have the output of

• a vertical splitter go down
• a vertical merger go up
  right ?

[bleak osprey]

I just had steel, how much to play is there left to play ?

[static surge]

I just saw 2 elite gas stingers and a super mega hog of doom (bigger than an alpha hog)

The elite stingers can jump while in midair

and they 3 shot you

I barely escaped, only to find this massive hog, and was bouncing on a confusing creature to escape it then I got killed by some flying crabs

[crystal cedar]

#screenshots i saw this downloaded a bluseprint and saw this.can someone explain how to do that?

[supple canopy]

somewhere between 30 and 2000 hours

[true mulch]

finishing the game in 30 hours is speedrun worthy

[prisma thicket]

True. Though the phase one speedrun is 17 minutes

[supple canopy]

yea lol 30hrs from steel you really gotta rush it. But possible

[astral spindle]

fast question

[bleak osprey]

30 ??!!!

[astral spindle]

its possible to beat game under 100h?

[supple canopy]

allegedly. I hit 2000 recently, never finished it lol

[bleak osprey]

Is there an « end » ?

[astral spindle]

but at first run

first time plain game

[astral spindle]

bc one guy sayin to me he beat in 163h at first run

first time playin game

[supple canopy]

if you spaghetti it and don't care about ratios I'm not too surprised

[prisma thicket]

#screenshots my latest water monstrosity xD

[true mulch]

@supple canopy@prisma thicket there is only one 4package% entry, in multiplayer and with a time of 2D 3h 56m 53s

[prisma thicket]

Not surprising in the slightest

[true mulch]

there isn't even a tab for 5package%

[prisma thicket]

almost 200 hours into this save and not even one phase 4 part made xD

[true mulch]

as long as you have footage of your entire playthrough up to the 4th or 5th package, you can be the world record holder

[twilit oasis]

we appearently got cheats in vanilla just by placing a few blueprints from this user, wtf https://satisfactory-calculator.com/en/blueprints/index/index/idU/84063/user/EchoesOfDarkness

[supple canopy]

that I'm surprised actually

[true mulch]

yeah on my last playthrough I got to around 230 and never actually sent off the 4th package, stopped playing shortly before finishing the factory

[prisma thicket]

Satisfactory calculator is essentially cheats itself. Modify your save, find all the goodies, respawn spheres/sloops.

[lusty isle]

hey... strange question.

Is it wierd for someone to ask for your save file?

[twilit oasis]

yeah well im just looking around for some cool blueprints to learn how to design stuff myself.. i dont get how a blueprint can have a "place anywhere" miner

[tall lantern]

depends entirely on who you are and who they are

[lusty isle]

[solar forge]

quick question so I have a split in the tracks and I want 2 trains to go through the same side but I don't want them to collide. How should I use the train signals to prevent this

[mossy moon]

there are a bunch of guides on yt

but the basics is.. block signals every so often along a long straight track to prevent trains colliding by ramming the back of another one bcs its faster or ther other one stops.
path signals leading into an intersection and block signals going out of it which prevents trains colliding at an intersection (this part most confusing so i dont blame you if you dont understand this part)

[solar forge]

what do the warning signs on them mean?

[spark ruin]

@prisma thicket #screenshots message
you **do **know that you dont have to manually balance liquids ?
liquids always load balance themselves

[static surge]

HOW?

[prisma thicket]

I've been having issues with fluids lately, so I'm just playing it safe. Besides, it's fun to build vertical pipe networks like that

[mossy moon]

click e on them and they tell you whats wrong

[prisma thicket]

A lot of building and deleting the hub and hitting respawn to warp around the map xD

[static surge]

dang

[prisma thicket]

Should watch it on speedrun.com, was kinda chaotic and hard to follow, but fun to see what can be done by people that know the game well.

[mossy moon]

i wonder what a tas would look like in sf, i seen minecraft ones and they are just flashing immages where one second you at spawn and the other your in the end

[prisma thicket]

Tool Assisted Speedrun

[spark ruin]

oh

thx

[prisma thicket]

No problem 🙂

[prisma thicket]

Hmmmm, does using faster belts than what is required have any negative impacts on production lines? I've been just casually using Mk. 4 and 5 belts and lifts for everything, even though often times a Mk. 1 or 2 would suffice.

[cold fable]

quick question. is there a way to hide my hands when taking a photo in 1.0? i know in 1.1 photo mode gets a massive update, but in 1.0 is there a way?

[true mulch]

holster equipment with H
not possible in midair

[cold fable]

aw, but i wanted to hide my hoverpack 😦

oh well. in a month or two when 1.1 comes to official version I'll enjoy the photomode revamp.

[prisma thicket]

You can do it with the advanced game settings, though that disables achievements (if you care about that) there's an option to enable fly mode, no hoverpack needed. Not sure if your hands are still showing though.

[cold fable]

I want to 100% the game so i still need achievements. oh well

[ashen belfry]

No negative inpact. Positive impact for startup maybe.
However later on Phase 4 and 5 you see a performance impact.
If you have plenty of belts of 1 tier you see some lags when placing. You can mitigate that by replacing some of the unnecessary ones with lower ones

[unique barn]

we still dont have the ability to assign hotkeys to the individual hotbars, right?

[atomic notch]

Could try standing on a ladder

[unique barn]

wat

why would it matter if its unreal or not, just to load a specific hotbar with a keypress

i dont see how that relates to my questions at all, or why you couldnt assign individual keys on your keyboard to specific functions

[atomic notch]

Might be able to do it through steam input

[prisma thicket]

To hell with Unity, their ceo is a money-grubbing scumbag

[atomic notch]

Every ceo is lol

[prisma thicket]

Most*

[jade apex]

tbh just makes life easier, aluminium is a respite from mk3/mk4

theres maybe something to say if ur doing manifold cuz maybe it would help bring input to the further sections faster but otherwise i dont think its that tragic

[cold fable]

Anyone else put down a foundation for a factory and think, this'll probably be big enough. And then end up adding 4 floors to your factory because you ran out of space 4 times?

[naive pendant]

@jade apex Manifolds don’t really care about belt speed. People have debated if mixing belts in manifolds is faster but it’s negligible or faster to just do all fast belt is tldr. Faster for equilibrating the manifold.

[jade apex]

build your factories out of modules of blueprints

[prisma thicket]

Lol I just keep adding 25 at a time to the far edges of my platform time everything fits

[jade apex]

yea ive kind of ignored mixing belts either way, if you dont want to do it its much better to put a buffer on ur input

and even then thats not required

[naive pendant]

Yea. Imo just use your fastest belt for everything other than aesthetic considerations.

I do like mk1 belts for the final output belt of higher tier components as it shows the items off for longer.

[cold fable]

I always use the fastest belt available to me. The only time I don't is when I need to send some resources to a different belt because it needs exactly 20, 40, 60, 90, 120, 240, 270, or 480 more resources. Which very rarely happens.

[azure swan]

Early on I was using the lowest possible belt wherever I could to conserve materials, but everyone should pretty quickly get to the point where your highest belt is of a trivial cost so easiest to just build it.

[zenith pecan]

I use the lowest mark belt I can get away with because the fastest on low throughput just zooms, I do like to see the production.

[atomic notch]

If im bein super lazy ill do em all the same

[naive pendant]

Can also get into the concept of a belt being under “backpressure” which stops the items on the belt mitigating the zoomy item look for manifolds. Compared to feeding a sink where you don’t have backpressure since infinite void.z

[azure swan]

I guess lower tier belts for slow producing radioactive materials would prevent them from piling up as much which would reduce your radioactivity too, but by the time you're doing that you probably don't care about radioactivity cause that spot is gonna be quite hot either way.

[cold fable]

When i first started i did a similar thing, it resulted it pure node miners getting a 6 inch segment of mk2 belt, so it goes into a splitter that let's me use mk1 belts. But generally when you get mk3 and mk4 belts I agree, you just start using those everywhere

[frail sleet]

steel is phase 2/5 of the tutorial and each phase is like 5x longer than the last 😄

[frail sleet]

5 and 6 too

2 is a very awkward belt that is expensive but you dont have mass production on any scale up yet, and it's not worth taking the time to do it because mk.3 is not that far away while being much cheaper and faster

[naive pendant]

A rare necro in the wild (mini necro reply)

[cold fable]

Definitely haven't been on phase 4 for the last 60 hours of my 100 hour playthrough. 🫠

2 is weird, but I also find 3 a stop gap measure till you get mk4 belts, since simply adding concrete to steel gets you mk4 belts

[naive pendant]

Mk 2 becomes “free” once you automate them which isn’t difficult. Never understood the mk2 dislike.

[cold fable]

Basically I use mk1 for everything till mk3, which i only use to build the first encased beam factory, and then use mk 4 till mk5 and so on

[bleak osprey]

Tutorial ? I was thinking this is the main campaign!

[cold fable]

I'd like to think of every thing till steel as a tutorial, since every factory after that gets exponentially larger as now you are basically done learning about the resources, and the true factory game begins where you now have to use manufactured parts to make more complicated parts. No more feeding ore into smelters and then getting what you want. 🤣

[azure swan]

The whole campaign is a ramping difficulty tutorial

[cold fable]

A lot of my playthroughs ended after completing phase 3, since phase 4 is a kick in the teeth.

[naive pendant]

Anything before the absolute highest tier creative building for aesthetics is tutorial.

/s there’s an actual tutorial. The rest is the game. Saying xyz is just tutorial basically diminishes the game for people.

[cold fable]

What? No more concrete slab factories with no walls?

[forest bridge]

Anyone got beginner coal power plant layout I can snag

[azure swan]

Every phase of the game forces you to do something more complex, which is leading you down a road to learn more. Call it what you will.

[static surge]

make a water and coal bifold stacked on top of each other

you can easily adjust based on input

[tall lantern]

!wikisearch cg

[fossil ice]

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

[forest bridge]

Alright cool. Is it common practice to just place the coal generators a floor above the water pumps, and just pump the water up there?

oh sweet a map, thanks

[tall lantern]

that's one option, you could also just put the coal gens in front rather than on top

the main thing of note with those layouts is that they do the standard 8:3 setup of 3 extractors to 8 gens, without exceeding the mk1 pipe limits in any individual segment

[forest bridge]

Yeah that's what I'm looking for so it works out great

Already tired of having to manually deal with power

[naive pendant]

The 2:4 instead of 3:8 ratio is also nice with 75% clocked water extractors.

Avoids any pipe bottleneck issues due to messing up pipe layout.

[tall lantern]

or 1:2 yeah, that's usually what I go for

[naive pendant]

I imagine people debated recommending the 3:8 with the more confusing pipe split concept vs the 2:4 with the under clock concept way back in the day here when making the coal power pin.

I prefer the 2:4 also because it teaches to scale production to match your belt/pipe throughput while keeping things clean, simple.

[tall lantern]

part of it might be that clocking is an optional unlock

[slate igloo]

hello, I am sure this has been asked and answered before but discords search function is a bit sub par. Can me and my friend swap to experimental whilst still playing on an existing world? would that mess anything up?

[tall lantern]

sure all the folks who've played a while know how useful it is, but new folks who need that sorta guide might not have it yet

[tall lantern]

saves carry forward, yes you can take 1.0 to 1.1 experimental (but not in reverse)

as always, back up your saves

[slate igloo]

Thank you

I just got a random discord message from someone in this server trying to get me to click on a link to watch their coal setup 🤔 are scammers common here?

they seem to be an active member though, so maybe they just wanted to give advice, weird that it was unpromted

[wanton blaze]

Always question random dms. Specially with links from strange domains.

But you can always double check the domain before clicking if anything.

[frozen ingot]

there's a lot of members, it's a big server/popular game, so it does happen

but yeah, by hyper vigilant!

[true mulch]

#open-a-ticket to report this to the mods

[forest bridge]

What alternative recipes should I be looking out for

I'm on phase 2 right now so still pretty early, but I'm starting to find some hard drives

[frozen ingot]

none in particular, really

it's all individual preference

if you're a new player don't overthink it

there are certainly some that i prefer and like to get early, like diluted fuel

[flint fjord]

Ingots to screws, every time

[lusty isle]

THIS

[frozen ingot]

packaged diluted fuel in tier 5 is nice

[lusty isle]

Tuurbo rocket fuel

[frozen ingot]

cast screws i like too, especially early on, but they're not that big a deal either

[flint fjord]

Steel pipe, steel stator 👌

[frozen ingot]

but there's loads of recipes, it's totally doable to get them all, so you don't have to worry about your decisions early on

@forest bridge ^ 🙂

it's worth considering with the alt recipes that some are about resource efficiency, others are about space/power efficiency (e.g. cast screws)

some pair very well with others and are perhaps more about simplifying a production chain in some regard

like the steel pipe + steel stator combo mentioned above

[forest bridge]

Damn can't use outside emotes here

But makes sense, thanks

[prisma thicket]

Anyone else find doing logistics for manufacturers annoying?

[lusty isle]

if that bothers you just wait for the Blenders

[steady dome]

Except the second you get steel to iron rods it's entirely useless except to save some space

[prisma thicket]

I've already gotten used to blenders, do the liquids main level, solids from below xD Just manufacturers have the 4 inputs and it hurts my brain trying to figure out a decent way to manifold them.

[neat marlin]

anyone know how I can automate biomass production?

[zenith pecan]

Not so bad when you have smart splitters and you feed from single belts.

[prisma thicket]

You technically can't automate biomass, not completely anyways.

[zenith pecan]

While this footage is ancient, here is manufacturer logistics highlighted with the old lighting: #design-and-architecture message

[prisma thicket]

Ok... either that's genius or I'm an idiot because I never even considered the possibility. I only use smart splitters for sink lines lol parts into storage, then overflow the rest.

[zenith pecan]

To avoid surprises with the mixed system, each splitter has the required ingredient pointed at the manufacturer, and the rest is overflow, that way the line cannot back up, you can send everything that passes through to containers, depots or even a sink, again using overflow to set it all up in priority order, the only thing to consider, is you need to calculate the max throughput of the belt, vs the total numbers of individual pieces, however you can setup multiple lines using separate feeds.

[prisma thicket]

Yah, I can see that working really nicely in that footage, and I don't think line throughput will be an issue I have to worry about just yet, as I'm not massively producing any parts atm.

[zenith pecan]

I also run a lot of my logistics underground.

[cinder kraken]

#screenshots message

will that be enough?

[lean grove]

just curious, is there any way to connect blueprint designers to make bigger designs?

[cinder kraken]

uhh, i just did some math it would power roughly 864 Fuel generators so around 215,983MW

[near bay]

I have a question, will 100.000 mw be enough for late game?

[cinder kraken]

didnt think this would make so much

[latent prawn]

probably around 200 gw is comfy for endgame

it really depends on how much phase 5 stuff you have powered on

[near bay]

Omg, that sounds like a LOT of time building a plutonium power plant or sum. Rn I am building a uranium one cuz I am a lazy bish

And I was thinking that my 20 nuclear power generators at 200% will be enough, damn

[hollow vector]

the factory must grow.

• just store plut waste somewhere

you alr got hazmat filters i bet

so it wont matter

[frozen ingot]

nah, but you can build multiple ones next to each other to plan a larger design and save each part separately

[lean grove]

ohh okay

[near bay]

F in chat for me

[neat marlin]

whats a blue print designer

[hollow vector]

it might cause a radiation hotspot as large as that desert biome

but you got ddu hazmat filters

[near bay]

Rn I got off, need to make some big decisions lol. Idk for much longer I m gonna play tbh, fist like 120hrs were just pure adhd hyperfocus but it is starting to wear off, idk if i m gonna reach end game

[hollow vector]

happens to alot lol

past phase 4 it stops being fun planning

more of just productive

[near bay]

Yeah, idk how people manage to play this game and make the most mind blowing builds gaming ever saw, like how do they have that drive and patience,

[rancid turret]

normal to get burnout, you'll come back

[near bay]

I hope, had a blast

[leaden turret]

4k+ hours and I never fired up a nuclear plant

[near bay]

How

[leaden turret]

don't have to finish the game if you're having fun

[near bay]

True

[leaden turret]

would come up with new things to try and eventually have a pile of new things to try that couldn't be integrated into the then-current playthrough that I'd start over

right now I just don't have the energy to stream and play, so debating whether to start over with 1.1 and just not stream the game any more 🤷‍♂️

[near bay]

Tbf, started playing when I had some days off work and put like 80 in hours in, after work I just don't have the energy to play, I just fire up CS, forza horizon 5 or ets2 for a couple hours, make food and go to bed.

[leaden turret]

@void gorge any plans to vtube with the elgato no signal logo? seems like you could face track the logo / o to your eyes and the no signal to your mouth?

[leaden turret]

could build yourself some cart/explorer race courses in satisfactory 😛
