satisfactory

[viral olive]

damn for everything?

[sturdy mural]

not everything, stuff i need, for me its encased beams, wire, cable, concrete, and other stuff

like the very need, like for belts and foundations
other can be fine slower
especially elevator parts

[viral olive]

is there like a list for this

priority parts or something like that

[sturdy mural]

depends on your stage
are you like starting? what tier are you at

[viral olive]

im on trains

i have a plan for 2 hmf/min but i think thats way too low (?)

and my computers are like 12/min

[prisma thicket]

That's kinda something you figure out as you play the game, and you adjust your production to suit your playstyle.

[sturdy mural]

heavy mod frame? mine's 4/min

[sturdy mural]

except the things i need but they need more than 2 production steps cuz im dumb

cobalt help? 😭

[mental rose]

help how do i do coop

[trim vine]

Do you need Gas Filters AND Iodine Filters?

[mental rose]

i mean co-op

[dense violet]

Have you tried turning it off and on?

[dense violet]

well one is for gas, one is for radiation. You need them for those situations

[zenith pecan]

Gas can be resolved with , just bring iodine 😛

[trim vine]

https://tenor.com/view/swimming-black-dynamite-hip-thrust-dance-gif-16275552

[prisma thicket]

Though the gas filters make it easier to just run in, plant a bunch of bombs, then walk away and hit the detonator because cool guys don't look at explosions xD

[trim vine]

-stares in fireworks-

[zenith pecan]

Nuclear cleanup also works #screenshots message 🤣

[trim vine]

Now thats good content

[zenith pecan]

Nuclear spam ftw!

[trim vine]

Debating if I wanna do the whole Nuclear setup this playthrough, havent beaten the game since phase 4 come out 😛

and the modular power turbo fuel fields are doing me wonders

[prisma thicket]

@zenith pecan you got a link to your rocket fuel plant screenshots handy? xD Nuclear is optional

[zenith pecan]

You don't need nuclear power if you don't want it, #satisfactory-experimental message , granted it is a bit large #design-and-architecture message

The towers are more than half a kilometre tall though.

[trim vine]

1.1M MW is wild

At 16k Consumption no less

[zenith pecan]

A bit of a closer look, but still a little out of date here #screenshots message

[prisma thicket]

I wonder how much power you'd get if you maxed out on Ionized fuel instead of Rocket 🤔

[zenith pecan]

That is because most of my tangled industry is in a state of disassembly, power use will shoot back up when the converters are onlined again.

[prisma thicket]

Is that 1.1 TW purely that rocket fuel plant? Or do you have other plants around the map also attached to the grid?

[zenith pecan]

There are 32 coal generators still active which let me start the refineries, and power amps.

[prisma thicket]

Biomass kickstarts the coal, which kickstarts any and all fuel generator lines, gotta love it.

[zenith pecan]

Getting the three towers to stabilise was a task of mythic patience as the whole thing onlined though.

[prisma thicket]

I don't doubt that, my tiny 150 generator setup was having stability issues too, I can't imagine how much more of a pain it must have been with so many more gens in the setup.

[zenith pecan]

The issue was oil supply, the numbers were right but the system continued to act as though I needed another 5% oil, which was so maddening, I plugged in another nearby oil well and connected all six lines together, that brute force approach fixed the entire thing at the cost of an oil source, that said I can still syphon some oil off it for other stuff, like explosives.

[prisma thicket]

Man I wish you could see on the power graph, or somewhere in game at least, which machines are stuttering on power consumption >.< I just got my lines to smooth out and now something is acting up again.

[tawny urchin]

Where can I find the ficsit factory cart in the build menu? It’s not in transport which is weird

[prisma thicket]

If you bought one, it would be in purchases in the shop, pretty sure it's an item you use, not something you build.

[tawny urchin]

I figured it out it’s in equipment workshop

[prisma thicket]

Ahhh, my bad then.

[tawny urchin]

Can it be used to transport items?

[prisma thicket]

What's it take to build one?

[tawny urchin]

Reinforced iron plates, rotors, and iron pipes

[wanton stag]

hey uhm can someone thats good at math check the numbers for my dpf factory?

this doesnt make sense

[prisma thicket]

It does not have an inventory, so no it cannot transport items.

[wanton stag]

i put the flowchart in math and meta

[tawny urchin]

Why can you record a path for it lol

[prisma thicket]

That makes sense to me, one packager and one unpackager per one refinery. The numbers work, as long as your inputs are correct.

[prisma thicket]

Something to make factories feel more alive, have a bunch of these guys running around on automated paths, making it look like more is going on.

[tawny urchin]

Ah interesting

[prisma thicket]

Or as a taxi service before you get hypertubes lol set a path you travel frequently and you can just hop in and out as the cart is moving.

[wanton stag]

well yeah but ten refinieries takes care of 600 heavy a minute

and 5 does 300

So where did 30 come from?

[rich ivy]

make it make sense

phase 5 is supposed to be the hardest part of the game cause yknow

its the endgame and its got the most complex recipes

my entire phase 5 megafactory has gone off with basically zero issues, the only complications have been with managing space

[prisma thicket]

The recipe for diluted packaged fuel is different from diluted fuel, with 900 hor going into the system, it takes 30 refineries to process with 1800 packaged water per minute.

[prisma thicket]

I'd say that just a testament to your quality of gameplay and the knowledge you've acquired across your journey to phase 5.

[prisma thicket]

Each refinery uses 30 hor per minute, 30x30=900

[flint aspen]

Doesn’t it have a single slot?

[prisma thicket]

Not that I was able to see, the only option I had was to enter it.

[prisma thicket]

Oh no, you're right, it has one slot!

The question now becomes, can you automate loading/unloading it, which I don't think you can, otherwise that could be a great system for moving low volume items xD

[rich ivy]

if course right when i say this everything goes to shit

i automated alien power matricies and despite me making the correct amount of power shards per minute, the APM encoders just arent getting enough for some fucking reason

i love this game so much guys

[prisma thicket]

is it a manifold issue?

[naive pendant]

Did he turn it on again and off again?

[dense violet]

follow the problem backwards.

are the machines producing them starved or clogged?

[naive pendant]

Let's see... I'm not saying it's alien (s power generators) but it's aliens.

[dusky relic]

Is there any point to the island in the SW

[dense violet]

it's pretty and there

[prisma thicket]

It's there so people can ask questions and take it as a challenge to build their entire factory on the one part of the map that has 0 resources xD

[dense violet]

a spot doesn't need nodes to be nice to build

[rich ivy]

nah i fixed it

i used a wrong belt type somewhere

i got my first (and only) fully powered up augmenter

[prisma thicket]

Very nice. How much is the boost?

[rich ivy]

from this one specifically?

60k mw

[prisma thicket]

What's that % wise? I don't know how much you're producing baseline 😛

[rich ivy]

oh

its 30%

[prisma thicket]

Damn, that's triple the base boost right?

[rich ivy]

yea

[prisma thicket]

Very nice, sounds like a worthwhile investment if you can get to it. Free up more sloops for production duping, use up some of that bonus power you're making lol

[lime ermine]

Hey I'm experimenting with glitches are there any duplication glitches that any of you know of?

[dense violet]

there at least used to be

[latent prawn]

the stack splitting one appears to now be gone

[prisma viper]

yo if my save is in 1.0 will my save get corrupted if i transfer to 1.1?

[hollow vector]

no

any 1.1 assests will be deleted tho

[last jackal]

It has 1 slot.

Eh, you saw it. nvm.

[dense violet]

why would 1.0 saves have 1.1 assets?

[hollow vector]

if you convert it

like bring your 1.0 save to 1.1 then bring it back to 1.0

[dense violet]

they didn't ask that

[lime ermine]

@hollow vector I hate you

Took so long to make enough of you lol

[hollow vector]

I hate you too! ❤️

[lime ermine]

🤣

Saw your name and couldn't resist

[hollow vector]

Pioneer @lime ermine clearly isn`t doing his duties of saving the day.

[lime ermine]

Hey I'm working

Just taking over a month to make the project part factory

And it's largely your fault

[wanton stag]

What's the ratio to make turbofuel again? I'm looking at my 1800 fuel per min factory on the oil coast and debating on if it'll be worth it to belt the compacted and add even more fucking refineries to this project

[dense violet]

what ratio?

!wikisearch turbo_fuel

[fossil ice]

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

[wanton stag]

*me taking 3 months to make 2 project part factories because I can't settle on ONE FUCKING DESIGN FOR LIKE A WEEK

[lime ermine]

I just have a concrete box

[wanton stag]

Coal to fuel

[dense violet]

the link is right there

[wanton stag]

I looked at it, I'm pretty sure that simplifies to like 1:2?

[dense violet]

each compacted coal is 1 coal 1 sulfur from memory, so that doesn't sound right

[wanton stag]

No I mean the ratio for compacted coal to fuel

Because it's 6 fuel 4 compacted coal

[dense violet]

isn't that 3:2?

[wanton stag]

I think? I'm not good at math

[dense violet]

you're doing it hte hard way anyway. don't go by ratio. Calculate from the goal

[wanton stag]

I'm just debating on if it'll be worth it to belt compacted coal all the way from the grassy fields to the oil coast to make turbo fuel and how much I'm gonna need

[hollow vector]

not my fault i exist to make project parts 🤷‍♂️

[wanton stag]

I'm making 1800 fuel a minute so I'd need like 450 compacted a minute?

[hollow vector]

what do you want me to do?

[wanton stag]

Not take 800 steps to make idk?

[lime ermine]

And plutonium cells

[hollow vector]

obliterate my self and destroy every project part + plutonium cell that used me?

[wanton stag]

Idek how many fucking steps that needs to make it

[hollow vector]

ask ficist or smh istg

pioneers gettin dumber every day it seems ||joke||

[wanton stag]

Tbh I don't think you're that hard to make

[hollow vector]

i dont find and of the cubes to make hard

[wanton stag]

I had to help my buddy with 4k hours make his factory for you and I did it in like, 4 hours?

[prisma thicket]

The ratio of Fuel to Coal is 3:2, so you need 1200 compacted coal per minute to turn all that fuel into turbofuel

[wanton stag]

YEAH I'M NOT GONNA DO THAT I DON'T HATE MYSELF

[prisma thicket]

You can break it down, keep some gens running on fuel and make just some turbofuel.

[hollow vector]

added an extra 4 hours to the clock that stops ticking when you finish project assembly

[wanton stag]

If the oil coast had enough nearby coal and sulfur I'd do it but its genuinely not worth it for me to belt the one mk 4 belts worth of compacted the 2 kilometers it takes to get to the plant

[hollow vector]

trains?

[boreal musk]

ive done 10km belt highway before

[wanton stag]

Sir, it's 480 a min, for 2 kilometers and I don't have the mental capacity or the resources to do trains easily

[boreal musk]

480/min is not that much

do 3-6 freight

[hollow vector]

im adding you to "the list"

[wanton stag]

I'm sorry 3-6 freight cars for one mk4 belt?

[wanton stag]

The what now? 😭

[hollow vector]

oh im sorry were you not paying attention to what ADA said during the start?

[wanton stag]

I have enough concrete to where I could probably just build a road all the way there but I'm lazy as fuck and tractors plus trucks like to break when I load my game

[wanton stag]

That was 200 ish hours ago

[hollow vector]

not my fault

[prisma thicket]

From what I understand, tractors/trucks are just kinda buggy when it comes to automation, trains are much more reliable, and realistically easier to set up.

[boreal musk]

overkill, but it ensure your freight station never full before the trains arrived

[wanton stag]

Also on a random note, ada scares the fuck out of me when she just randomly yells at you 😭

[prisma thicket]

I have never had ADA yell at me O.o

[hollow vector]

disable her or smh

or remove the visors, i think if you kill your self ||ingame|| she cant yell at you

[wanton stag]

Well the time to fill is 6 minutes, the round trip tip time would be like 4 minutes maybe

[wanton stag]

Are you on 1.0 or experimental?

[prisma thicket]

1.0

[wanton stag]

On experimental every now and again when you build smth ada will just randomly make a comment about what you built

Usually it's mean

KEYWORD USUALLY

I've had some time where it's not some mean remark but it's not nice either

[prisma thicket]

Oh, she does that normally, usually when you build some new piece of tech. Like my first coal generator in my new save xD

[wanton stag]

Well yeah but this time it's just random, and it has nothing to do with what you built

[prisma thicket]

Well that's something fun to look forward to xD

[wanton stag]

SHE'LL JUST RANDOMLY SAY SHIT AND IF YOU'RE PUTTING DOWN A BUNCH OF BLUEPRINTS OR JUST ZONED OUT IT WILL SCARE THE FUCK OUT OF YOU BECAUSE IT HAS NO NOTIFICATION

SHE JUST RANDOMLY STARTS TALKING IN YOUR EAR

😭

Also on a random note ada kinda sounds like the ai voice in subnautica

[unkempt kayak]

Can i not join a steam friend on epic?

[wanton stag]

No?

You need to be on steam

[sullen gull]

No, you should be able to join with someone having the epic version as well.

[wanton stag]

Well it depends on how the session is set up

[sullen gull]

I'm assuming you're just looking for someone to join @unkempt kayak ?

[unkempt kayak]

The person hosting on steam says they dont see the crossplay optiion,

[lime ermine]

New blueprint acquired

[wanton stag]

NO

STOP IT

[unkempt kayak]

I was trying to join a firend who recent;y purchased it on steam

[lime ermine]

Caution - multiple leviathan class lifeforms in the region are you certain whatever you're doing is worth it?

[sullen gull]

They have to go to the main screen, and under Manage Session, Session settings > and they will give you the session ID

[wanton stag]

The anxiety

[unkempt kayak]

they did, but its giving me an error

[sullen gull]

Oh, nm,. it's not showing up on mine atm either.. .. wonder if it's a 1.1 thing?

[unkempt kayak]

hittin me with the "Could not resolve online session."

[sullen gull]

You have Epic or steam?

[unkempt kayak]

I got epic, got it back in the alpha days

[lime ermine]

I've had this for a week but it works when I sign in on separate devices anyways

Steam here

[unkempt kayak]

What’s the server setting?

Or session setting mb

[prisma viper]

is homing rifle ammo worth it or should i just use normal rifle ammo?

[prisma thicket]

Make a little bit and try it out, see how you feel about it. I believe it slows down the fire rate of the rifle, so it might take some getting used to.

[dusky relic]

How does mob respawning work

[dense violet]

you can still join people in their mp fine. Not sure the steps but you can google it

[leaden ether]

Anyone use the conveyor wall hole mod? I installed it but it does not show up as a buildable in game. (Though I did notice that Satisfacctory Tools actually indicated it is installed when I upload me save file).

[dense violet]

have some time has gone, get near, it'll respawn

[dense violet]

are you in 1.1?

[leaden ether]

No, 1.0

[dense violet]

if not you probably need to unlock it somehow

[leaden ether]

I was wondering about that but the mod desc says nothing and I looked on the mam and there's nothing there either :/

[dense violet]

usually the hub

[prisma thicket]

or check the awesome shop where other wall/floor hole stuff is

[dense violet]

that too. check the hub, then shop

[leaden ether]

Oh like probably way back at stage 2 or something? Okay I didn't look at that

[dusky relic]

Can I make it not respawn?

I have one of those spawmers near my factory

they annoying

[leaden ether]

Does 1.1 have it built in? I know it has the walls with holes but they are limited in their verisility :/

[dense violet]

power a building nearby

[prisma thicket]

Kill it and build something near that spot, it'll stop spawning

[dense violet]

1.1 should. no idea how they work though

[leaden ether]

I have one of the fire spitters that spawns right outside the doorway to a factory and I find it inside the factory all the time -.-

[dusky relic]

Issue is, its still spawning

Its spawning in here

#screenshots message

#screenshots message

This guy is spawning too but hes chill

he can stay

[leaden ether]

Heh yeah on the hub at Tier 0 -.- THanks for the pointer 🙂

[dense violet]

where's the powered building?>

[dusky relic]

#screenshots message

[viral glen]

Does anyone know if the devs plan on adding DLSS 4 support via Nvidia app overrides? The current version in the game has lots of ghosting.

[dense violet]

1.1?

[dusky relic]

1.0

[dense violet]

weird. any mods?

[dusky relic]

Unmodded 😭

[dense violet]

odd. Saved and reloaded?

[dusky relic]

Next time they spawn I'll try ig

[dense violet]

well if yo usave when they respawn they'll probably stil be there.

save and reload now

[frail sleet]

I'm waiting for them to add it in the game itself. Override used to be available in the app, but it caused a crash bug so Nvidia took it off. A similar game crash bug occurs when forcing 3x or 4x framegen on Satisfactory and several other games, but it doesn't occur in games where you can select the right model and framegen multiplier in the menu.

It's trivial to upgrade from DLSS3 to 4 even with backwards compatibility for the old model and it brings enormous performance and fidelity upgrades, so it's a no-brainer.

[dense violet]

see if it happens again

[marble tinsel]

I went hard drive hunting got an alternate Iron Wire recipe and a cast screw recipe which I think will help me cut down on using a ton of machines

[dense violet]

the lower tier item the alt recipe the more 'generalist' they tend to be. Good for broader issues.

and they are solid

[marble tinsel]

gotcha

Im on tier 3 I think

[last jackal]

Iron wire is sometimes nice for RIPs.

[dense violet]

basically only way I make wire 😄

although sometimes fused wire is cool

[marble tinsel]

Now im working on redoing my steel farm but my brain stopped thinking and I know I have to split up the machines cause I can use a smelter directly into the alternate iron pipe recipe but I also need to make steel ingots for steel beams

[last jackal]

You don't need to use all of them.

[marble tinsel]

and then I also want to setup a little automation for encased industrial beam for more Miner MK2 and other stuff 🤔

oo MK 2 on a pure node does 240 but Im too broke for mk 3 belts 😂

[viral glen]

I was going to do it manually using DLSS swapper and Nvidia profile inspector to set it to preset K for transformer model. Satisfactory DLSS has tons of ghosting.

[prisma thicket]

Have you found the Solid steel ingot recipe by chance? Might help you streamline things, you can smelt ALL the iron, then send the iron ingots + coal into foundries to get 50% more steel bars

[marble tinsel]

uhh no I havent got that one

[prisma thicket]

Damn, that's too bad. Did you tear down your previous steel foundry already? Might have helped you with the belts if you had it still running.

[last jackal]

It's a really nice recipe imo.

[marble tinsel]

I did tear my old one down but it was a tiny one and didnt do much

[prisma thicket]

I'm making use of it for the first time in my current save, never realized how efficient it was til now.

[last jackal]

It's one of those recipes that add a step, but makes things more efficient in terms of resources. Which is nice.

[marble tinsel]

well I got a decent setup now which is making a decent amount of steel ingots atm

[prisma thicket]

I'm combining it with Iron Alloy ingots alt recipe to make a ton of steel products. Had a copper node nearby I wasn't going to use otherwise, so it works.

[marble tinsel]

I got one iron node smelting into a steel pipe recipe so the pipes are good I just have to set the steel ingots into steel beam

[prisma thicket]

And once you have that setup done, you should hunt for more hard drives so you can make a nice big, super efficient factory to make all your steel products at once, including 2/3 phase 2 space elevator parts (which you also need more of in phase 3, so it's good to stockpile some)

[marble tinsel]

so look for more steel alt recipes?

[dense violet]

if you want

[prisma thicket]

Just more alt recipes in general will help your future builds by a fair bit.

Heck, you can even get alt recipes for some space elevator parts lol

[dense violet]

and solid steel really does expand your production

[prisma thicket]

Combine Solid steel with Iron Alloy or Pure Iron alt recipes for big time production.

[dense violet]

iirc Solid Steel is actually less power and machines per steel ingot than basic. Even with the extra step

[marble tinsel]

so my hard drive finished scanning...

[prisma thicket]

40 Iron ingots + 40 Coal for 60 steel per minute, per foundry.

[marble tinsel]

Guess what comes up 😂

[prisma thicket]

Solid steel?

[marble tinsel]

you bet ya

[prisma thicket]

Very nice, just when you're in a good position to start making use of it too

[marble tinsel]

time to rebuild again 😂

or actually I can let this run for a little bit and make it into steel beams and encased beams

cause then I can put a mk 2 miner on the nodes and put some mk 3 belts on it 🤔

[prisma thicket]

Sounds like a good plan 🙂

[dense violet]

just add a smelt process and reclock your foundries

[timid rune]

think I am going to pure iron + solid steel + cast plates for my nuclear setup

[dense violet]

I recommend alloy. Lot less piping and refineries

[timid rune]

ficsonium is gonna cause me grief with copper use though

[dense violet]

I mean, you don't need to do ficsonium.

and you can use copper alloy for that

[timid rune]

I am doing a step by step approach with my nuclear setup

planning to do uranium -> make plutonium fuel rods and sink them

[dense violet]

... you really ought to plan the whole thing out >.>

[timid rune]

then finish my ficsonium setup

[marble tinsel]

uh I kinda built them in a weird way so it would be easier to rebuild from the belt tbh

[timid rune]

yeah I have the numbers set in my planner

[dense violet]

can't just smelt the ingots at the node first before sending it along?

[marble tinsel]

... that would be a smart way to do it 😂

[dense violet]

iirc you'll need fewer foundries for solid steel?

if not fewer i doubt it'd be much more

[spark ruin]

BTW : DLSS T/4 actually runs worse that DLSS CNN/3

[prisma thicket]

I think it's more, but not by much, basic steel is 45/45 for 45 ingots, solid steel is 40/40 for 60

[idle wraith]

help a brother out, where can i get some circuit boards? im using a guide for the crash sites and its just wrong, ive been to multiple that it says have them, but none of them do

[dense violet]

make some

[idle wraith]

cant

[dense violet]

I think it's somewhat random

better get to unlocking things then. they're fairly early

[idle wraith]

i know you can find some, and ive just unlocked steel, i want them now not later, i found some in the rocky desert on my last save

[marble tinsel]

yeah the alt solid steel makes 60 which is 15 more than the original one

[prisma thicket]

You're more likely to find them in higher tier zones, so the eastern biomes (blue crater, swamp, dune desert) are good options to check. Might find some in the middle of the map if you don't get murdered by nuclear hogs xD

[idle wraith]

my base is in the dune desert and i havent found any yet

im currently headewd to the rocky desert to check there

[elder apex]

pretty sure the crash site along the southern edge of the Northern Forest along the north side of that big lake right before the waterfall is a static location for 50 or so circuit boards

[idle wraith]

ill check there cause i need 50

thanks

[coarse geode]

How do I craft heavy modular frames? I don't have another coal node to make steel again

[undone jackal]

Do we know an appropriate date for the 1.1 release?

[latent prawn]

most likely it'll hit EA at the end of summer

[last jackal]

Go find another coal node lol.

[coarse geode]

There is none

[spark ruin]

when its ready
(Few months)

[last jackal]

DId you actually try exploring before saying "there is none"?

The scanner doesn't reach anything beyond the first 3 scans.

[spark ruin]

You don't need steel for modular frames

[coarse geode]

I do, I need to make encased beams

[undone jackal]

U sure there arent more than 2 nodes on the map im pretty sure kekw xD

[coarse geode]

I have 6/6 nodes used already

[elder apex]

then there are 56 more coal nodes for you to choose from

[spark ruin]

Oh so you are making heavy modulars

[latent prawn]

that's what they said!

[last jackal]

Did you even unlock like 30% of the map lol?

[coarse geode]

There are definitely not 56

I have the whole map unlocked

[spark ruin]

Oh Im so blind
Sorry

[elder apex]

SCIM disagrees with you, and I trust them a lot more than I trust you ATM.

[latent prawn]

technically you could make them with either iron pipe or aluminum beam, but steel is probably the better choice

[last jackal]

There is 16 pure, 31 normal, and 15 impure. Stop saying nonsense and get out there.

[spark ruin]

[Press X to doubt]

[spark ruin]

Its totally not what im currently doing in my T7-8 megafactory
It is quite nice if you have some spare aluminum

But its worse than using steel if you have a life

[green fiber]

the aluminum > steel recipes are hilarious

[boreal musk]

a very niche use

unless you have alu ingot sitting around

[spark ruin]

OR you are just lazy to make steel

(AND you already have aluminum)

[green fiber]

Use the more complex aluminum as a justification for being 'lazy with steel'

[spark ruin]

🤣

[spark ruin]

Its not like I did that

[latent prawn]

honestly, they're not awful when you're looking at making a lot of rotors for nuclear

[green fiber]

I never said "hilariously bad" just hilarious after all

[boreal musk]

u can make steel more than alu anyway, with option like coal or oil, while alu stuck with bauxite

[latent prawn]

i don't think you're really barking up the right tree if you decide to use aluminum for stuff that can be made from simple iron, but copper rotor with aluminum screw is kind of tidy

what's weird to me is the alum rod recipe. I can't figure out a way to make use of 7 rods, lol

[spark ruin]

Its situational for sure

[spark ruin]

Its quite space efficient

Cuz you get lots of rods per machine

[latent prawn]

yeah, its just the 1:7 ingot->rod always gives you a wierd number. about the only recipe that takes a derivative of rods in multiples of 7 is bolted frame

60 mf's for 60 aluminum doesn't seem like a bad trade if you have the excess bauxite

[spark ruin]

True

[boreal musk]

what about steel rod, i forgot the number

[green fiber]

12 to 48

[latent prawn]

really outside of making mod frames, you don't really need rods except as building material

[rich ivy]

i had a thought

[green fiber]

No you dont

[rich ivy]

ok

nevermind

[latent prawn]

steel rod is a pretty great recipe

[boreal musk]

oh yeah u get more screw by using steel rod instead of direct steel screw

[green fiber]

Become Fused Modular Frame

[rich ivy]

so if satisfactory is getting controller support

you think itll be getting any console ports

[green fiber]

That was their plan

afaik

[rich ivy]

cause im now thinking like

[latent prawn]

it is in their roadmap to release for console

[rich ivy]

you got the ps5 an whatever xbox is on rn as candidates

but also, nintendo's releasing their own current gen console

which makes me imagine satisfactory on a switch 2 which is

oddly funny and i dont know why

[boreal musk]

will satisfactory even work well in console, especially in late game stuffs

[rich ivy]

idk man consoles have gotten pretty good lately

ps5 might not have any games but ive heard the few it does have run pretty decently

the fact that the steamdeck can run games like cyberpunk at all is impressive, and if the switch 2 can run at the same graphics, while cramming it all into an even smaller console its like

damn

[spark ruin]

2fps gaming😎

[rich ivy]

you people just see the word "switch" and assume it runs like dogshit

did you even see any of the promo material or any info about it outside of the price tag

[spark ruin]

it would be fine as long as you aren't crazy

[spark ruin]

im just trolling lol

[rich ivy]

they promise 120 fps and 1080p in handheld, and according to people doing the hands-on experiences their promises are holding up so i can maybe see satisfactory running on it

[boreal musk]

tbh not really matters to me, i havent play in console for years and i can just port them to pc if i want to

[spark ruin]

Its gonna be like steamdeck level
So 30fps at medium would make sense

[rich ivy]

the issue is satisfactory in general just

doenst run all that well

[spark ruin]

❓

[rich ivy]

i have a good computer, i can run cyberpunk at max graphics while floating around 50ish fps, its not a supercomputer or anything but its decently strong

[spark ruin]

I can max out the settings on an RX 6600 and still get like 40fps

[rich ivy]

this game will usually run at 60fps but then will just randomly slow down to like

10

and theres no discernable reason why

it just happens

[spark ruin]

There is
VRAM

[rich ivy]

my card only has 11 gigs of vram so maybe thats why idk

[spark ruin]

If you use ultra textures + lumen at 1080p...

[rich ivy]

i do ultra settings and 1080p without lumen

again it runs totally fine most of the time

but then sometimes itll just chug

[spark ruin]

Probably a mem leak then 🤷‍♂️

Could also be too high textures

(Though that's unlikely)

[latent prawn]

i've found the most taxing thing in the game is the collision physics on rock chunks after you blow them up

that always causes an fps drop for me

[rich ivy]

same

[spark ruin]

Well
I've never lagged out BC of that

[last jackal]

It's definitely weirdly intensive when that happens.

At least its a one and done deal.

[shy ocean]

It may not, we don’t have the exact numbers but this years iPhone might already overpower it in undocked mode

So take of that what you will, I’m assuming they’re gonna do a switch 2 pro and charge 500-800 dollars for it

Then switch 2 pro games will be 100 dollars

[subtle palm]

That's probably a low estimate

[shy ocean]

I hope it is

Cuz like cmon Nintendo

I hope the rumors that the switch 2 emulates the switch 1 games is false

[thick vine]

damn, you got the catboy to catman dude as your PFP? awesome, I love that image.

[spark ruin]

never had this sort of lag
im lucky i guess

[boreal musk]

only specific boulders that lagged my game after detonating it

the laggiest one for me is the boulder at north west cave entrance at rocky desert and the northen forest somersloop behind rocks

[nova orbit]

Hey, is there a reason none of the recent streams are availble on the Coffee Stain twitch page?

All I see available are highlights

[leaden turret]

because Twitch

[nova orbit]

Did they lose partner status or something?

[leaden turret]

they never had it

[nova orbit]

Does twitch have a reason or is this just a general screw-up?

[leaden turret]

because Twitch

[nova orbit]

Any more information?

[leaden turret]

nothing confirmed.

they don't have partner status (which presumably would increase the VOD retention period) because they don't believe in monetising the satisfactory community in the ways that come with having twitch partner status

although exactly why they don't have an office amazon prime account connected to the twitch channel I don't know beyond apparently amazon not being all that big in sweden

Right, now I remember them saying that. Okay, thanks for all the help.

[vestal moth]

What's the best starting area for me, because I don't feel that grassy lands are good for me no more. I already have basic steel production and I a quickwire factory.

[coarse geode]

can i use trains to supply my factories?

[leaden turret]

that's one of the options you can choo choo[se]

[coarse geode]

i started going north for oil and east for other stuff

[coarse geode]

how do i not fuck up the supply rate?

[leaden turret]

math

[coarse geode]

my factory needs 270 a minute, how much do i need to load?

[leaden turret]

someone in here will have a link to the math (I don't use trains any more)

[reef basin]

any starting area is good. depends on your preferences. what do you not like about grassy fields?

[coarse geode]

why? is there something better?

[reef basin]

270

[leaden turret]

I just run belts everywhere.

[vestal moth]

that the resource nodes are far way from eachother, from what I found on the wiki I think the Northern Forest might be a nice place.

[reef basin]

resources are far intentionally, the game is telling you to expand (and you need to do that in all places, not just grassy fields). Building everything in one place is generally not recommended

[vestal moth]

does northern forest is slightly more compact with does nodes?

[coarse geode]

expanding would be a whole lot easier if i didnt have to walk everywhere

i dont wanna walk 30 just to get to my next factory 😭

[reef basin]

trucks, trains, hypertubes, ziplines, ...

[vestal moth]

I like hyper tubes

[reef basin]

sure, but there's also way less building space. And you have to expand sooner or later anyway

[ocean frost]

Jump pads

[last jackal]

I enjoy connecting a nice zipline between the west oil coast to my grass field hub area. It gives me time to appreciate the scenery.

[coarse geode]

why does my train not unload?

[last jackal]

Your train stations are not the correct way around probably.

[boreal musk]

check the freight station if its unload or load

[mortal ginkgo]

I managed to finish my work and can play Satisfactory now.

First thing I encountered is 3 Stingers and I barely survived.

10/10. Would get stinged again.

[boreal musk]

the default set is load

[coarse geode]

why does it say station unreachable

its clearly reachable ive driven it myself

[boreal musk]

your station is backward

theres an arrow to indicate the direction

[reef basin]

either there's a backwards signal that blocks traffic or the station is wrongly built (the train needs to arrive so that the driving engine docks with the station)

[coarse geode]

this is bullshit

fuck this shit

[reef basin]

?

[mortal ginkgo]

riding the train ignores all possible rules. calm down and check those stuff mentioned above

[bold verge]

howdy pioneers have a quick question, been trying to finish the game a couple of times now but phase 4 hits hard and I want to redo all my stuff. What do you think is the fastest way to speedrun the first 3 phases? cant advanced options bcs I want the achievements. Maybe "hand crafting" some stuff + crashsites?

[reef basin]

get out of the "need to redo stuff" mentality. Just build new, keep old 😉

[bold verge]

I wish I could do that

[reef basin]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Tutorial:Independency could be a good read for you

[bold verge]

interesting indeed but I love making train tracks, just wanted to do a fresh start and see how it goes but without spending to much time with the first 3 phases

[reef basin]

you can easily do trains with independency

but it seems you're set on your goal anyway, so good luck with that 🙂

[bold verge]

I see what you mean, I usually make modular factories and connect end products to whatever I need

[coarse geode]

ive driven the track 3 times now, its clearly reachable game are you fucking stupid

[last jackal]

Nah. You're stupid to understand that people gave you the answer already, but you're just refusing to listen.

[bold verge]

this guy need a break

[reef basin]

if it's "end product", then the only place to connect it to is storage 😛

[reef basin]

please share the images so that we can see what the problem is

[bold verge]

end product can be screws early game, I mean the purpose of the factory, I guess I shoudnt think to much about it and just have fun

[reef basin]

if screws are end product, route them to storage
if something else needs screws, it makes its own screws

[vestal moth]

I just found my first sam node!

[true mulch]

Create a #1038092680493801533 thread for it ideally

[frozen ingot]

i started a new world on a server recently, in 1.0 after trying 1.1 in the solo playthrough that I started when 1.0 released - i chose the grassfields so it was more beginner friendly, but also because I wanted the nostalgic vibe; I had not started a game in the grass fields since the test weekend about six years ago. And it's been so lovely! Despite missing all o the QoL improvements in 1.1, can't wait 'til that gets merged to main branch 😄

vertical nudging in particular

and i'm sure little things like when you middle click a coloured/customised pipe now and build a new one, in 1.1 it copies the customisation preferences as well

[last jackal]

At least vertical nudging has a mod to do it...

[mortal ginkgo]

Guys I have a question.

I got 5 Smelters. So power consumption should be 20 MW. But power line sometimes says 20.1 MW. Should I be worried?

[true mulch]

Idle buildings draw 0.1 MW

[mortal ginkgo]

oh dear

[true mulch]

Are you just starting?

You can (and should) merge multiple generators to one power grid

[mortal ginkgo]

yeah I am at ultra beginning so was curious 😄

[frozen ingot]

that's true, for now! Not tried modding my server yet

[mortal ginkgo]

Bros. I have a confession to make; 20MW is not enough power.

[rustic cloud]

hey I have a problem I can't load / unload the cargo from my tractor at a station despite the fact that they are correctly configured can you guys help me?

[boreal musk]

is it connected to grid?

[rustic cloud]

yes

[boreal musk]

did you properly connect the belt

[rustic cloud]

yes

[frozen ingot]

if they were correctly configured it would work unless it was a bizarre bug and I doubt that - would recommend posting in #1038092680493801533 @rustic cloud

[prisma thicket]

Man it's amazing what a mess one conveyor lift at the wrong speed can make xD 2 whole production lines running dry because I put in a mk.1 instead of a mk.3 lol

[rustic cloud]

I realized it was the key on my keyboard that wasn't working.

[frozen ingot]

i have done this at least three times 😛

so frustrating when you come back to a build, notice an efficiency issue, then troubleshoot it and find a single section of belt, vertical or otherwise, that's the wrong speed!

[prisma thicket]

Yah, I was lucky, caught it early as I was turning everything on lol would have sucked to come back to it 2 hours later and not have any project parts to show for it xD

[quick sky]

Ohh mmmy god 1.1 has vertical sorters now

That would've been real useful when I was making my nightmarish spaghetti compact setup

[prisma thicket]

Yah, looking forward to vertical splitters and mergers. And a few other QoL features in 1.1

Wow, I just noticed how much power a proper steel plant eats... glad I gave myself some overhead on my coal generators or I would be running half this place on solid biofuel xD

[dense violet]

you could always attach lifts to the sides of splitters >.>

[quick sky]

it's what I ended up doing to a large degree but still when working in a 3x2 space with an assembler taking up most of the space and only one belt for input I'm starving for space

[frozen ingot]

the vertical splitters and mergers are frickin' great

only had one real issue with them which i'm sure will be fixed

although i do kind of wish they just added in/out vertical slots to the top/bottom of existing mergers and splitters

but no doubt there was a technical reason behind making them separate buildables

[coarse geode]

can i have 2 trains loading on one station

[sterile blade]

You can have however many you want going to one station, but only one at a time, ofc

After all, you can't have multiple trains in the same block of rail anyway

[coarse geode]

how would i have to build to do that?

i have one miner with a train station next to it

and i want 2 trains going to different factories

[sterile blade]

Do you have any experience with rails?
If you don't, it might be easier for you to just test things out in the game ^^

Eg: making a small-scale setup with stations

[coarse geode]

i have no clue

[dense violet]

have a waiting space off the main track going to the train station

[coarse geode]

it took me 3 hours building 1 track

[dense violet]

but every extra train you stop at a station reduces the throughput of the platforms

[dense violet]

zoop a line of foundations the whole way , put blueprints of pylons on it and connect up rails. Do it in 10 minutes https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/558721941410807812/1366408059907477554/image.png?ex=681d5c6c&is=681c0aec&hm=2bb6a52425574b0bb9ea2ba09d6dca458d48eb4d7f5653d528d02842e72f85f7&=&format=webp&quality=lossless

[coarse geode]

pylons?

[sterile blade]

Or any kind of support. A commonly used approach to not have "floating" rails/roads/structures

[coarse geode]

how do i build that?

[frozen ingot]

blueprints always good for infrastructure like that

and in 1.1. blueprint auto-connect makes railways super quick

[coarse geode]

whats that?

[jovial crag]

somehow iron got on my uranium belt and crashed my entire power grid, all 300 of my reactors have shut down

[frozen ingot]

well you know how to 'zoop' foundations right?

[quick sky]

image doesn't embed 🤔

[dense violet]

if you click it it opens up

[coarse geode]

uhhh no

[dense violet]

right problem one

when you're building objects look under neath for build options

many have 'modes'

one of hte modes for foundations is 'zoop' , lets you build 10 foundations in a line

[quick sky]

I did but it didn't

[dense violet]

it should open up a browser link or take you to the image in discord

if you use it on jetpack or drones and trucks, yes

ficsit does not waste, pioneer are obligated to consume the cans

i mean wouldnt you technically waste a canister

since it could be reused

[quick sky]

you eat the plastic

[jovial crag]

It is funny how 1 iron crashed my entire power grid

[quick sky]

tfw 1 iron

[jovial crag]

got in my uranium line

[coarse geode]

heavy modular frames have been automated

it looks ass but that shall not be a concern as of now

[jovial crag]

Thank god I made that battery bank, nuclear power is back online and is warming up

[placid stirrup]

Who put it there, a lizard doggo?

[jovial crag]

I think there might be a hiccup somewhere in the transportation stage, probably at the train station because I ship the uranium by train, I most likely messed up with belts because I found more iron in the uranium line

[coarse geode]

oh shit not good

i dont even wanna get to nuclear energy

i wont think big enough for it

[jovial crag]

I did not know there was anything wrong until all the factory's went offline at once and found the breakers tripped

and power grid crashed

[coarse geode]

thats a common occurence in my gameplay

[stiff wolf]

who can help me out with train signaling. im making a t intersection and need some help. I can send a screenshot in the #screenshots for you.

[dense violet]

use #math-and-meta , you can post pictures there

[jovial crag]

my grid is back online but I drained my emergancy battery bank

[coarse geode]

chat i got 9 refineries producing 80 fuel each, how do i connect that best with a plant?

[jovial crag]

conveyors

[dense violet]

I'd probalby just make two groups of refineries feeding 2 groups of generators

[split badger]

i wish the personal storage was a pixel or 2 smaller in size so i can compact my storage

because if i try to make it hug others it overlaps (cannot be placed)

[quick sky]

what do you think of making MAM research an automated building-based thing like in Factorio

maybe it could be repeatable bonuses instead of unlocks

[junior laurel]

Will it have the disco labs mod installed?

[quick sky]

mk1 pipes can transfer 300/min and mk2 pipes 600/min, that means you got 720 fuel which means you need at leaast 3 independent pipe systems taking from 3 refineries each and transfering to any number of generators. But pipes are cheap so just do whatever you want y'know

[quick sky]

FICSIT™️ does not waste. That includes not wasting time that's meant for 💃 PARTYING 🪩

[junior laurel]

The colours are not intentional. They are strange bioluminescent bacteria used for the reseach process.

[quick sky]

actually I might be wrong, I have no idea if making pipes independent influences their "capacity". I just connect one pipe to each gen and forget about it

maybe if you have enough pipeage to match throughput in total it'll be fine idk

[junior laurel]

Similar reason why the slugs glow different colours

[coarse geode]

i have mk2 pipes

[quick sky]

Of course. The party bacteria are completely necessary for the scientific process.

[junior laurel]

Could someone grab that knuckles "approved" meme for me? I'm on mobile and nothing wants to work here.

Close enough

Party bacteria will now be needed to improve pre existing processes via the MAM

Unironically might suggest party bacteria if they have any such mechanic for post- game things

[split badger]

how do i make conveyor lifts turn?

[quick sky]

with default mode use the scroll wheel, with straight mode it turns wherever you point

[white sparrow]

sup

[split badger]

cause with my oil farm i think i need to put my refineries on another floor to make room cause i found a spot with 3 oil splotches

i need turbo fuel and plastic

[quick sky]

you also probably need rubber so split your residue

[coarse geode]

is there a smoke alarm beep sound in the game or am i tripping? 😭

its definitely not in my room

[quick sky]

Maybe it's in your mind

[junior laurel]

SAM moment

[coarse geode]

is there something like a smart splitters for pipelines to filter overflow out?

[frozen ingot]

nope

but you can do some pipe shenanigans for priority input

[junior laurel]

Make pipe go up a bit :)

Overflow goes there

[stark bison]

i hate pipes

[dense violet]

production lines are static, if you have 'extra' put it into a different pipe

[dense violet]

they're very simple. People just treat them like belts

[junior laurel]

I prefer mounds over piles 😏

[quick sky]

You could potentially manage overflow if you underclock the machines meant to take overflow according to how much you expect to have

[stark bison]

yea its fine but they are very unconsistent if you wanna go 600

[dense violet]

600 is also straight forward, you just have to be tidy with them

[stark bison]

i am kinda now just waiting to get another 200 cupons for the golden nut

[coarse geode]

still no clue how pipes are supposed to work

[dense violet]

make some overhead images of what you're trying to do with a description and what the issue is in #math-and-meta I'm not going to bed for 20 more minutes

[dawn sun]

[dense violet]

not really.
Not even circles anymore

[dawn sun]

i dont have a problem currently, i just still dont know how they math

[chrome cloud]

how do i make truck stations load cargo into vehicles?

I'm trying to record a path but it doesn't happen

[coarse geode]

oh no

[stark bison]

i wish i had the patience to build them

[chrome cloud]

except sometimes it does

i thought it was about positioning but it isn't

i thought it was about how full the truck station is but it isn't

[coarse geode]

ooohhh no, im producing more fuel than my generators can use, id have to quadruple them 😭

[chrome cloud]

i just pressed F and it worked, then unloaded the cargo, pressed F again and nothing happens

[quick sky]

Set the station to load and press F

There's a switch on the station interface

[chrome cloud]

Also make sure to remind me to breathe air

[quick sky]

Yes also remember to breathe air it is important

[chrome cloud]

The same station with the same settings sometimes loads and sometimes does not load.

[coarse geode]

how do i pipe vertically?

[white dawn]

Attaching to walls is easiest; can dismantle the walls afterwards if you don't want 'em permanently

[stark bison]

walls/pipe floorholes with pumps

[quick sky]

I think you can use the wall pipe support

[chrome cloud]

I literally just said that it loaded the truck once. Why would it load the truck if it wasn't set to load

[quick sky]

I just tried to help don't yell at me

[coarse geode]

what else can you use fuel for?

[stark bison]

trucks/jetpack/power

[stark bison]

^

or better fuel

[dense violet]

pause it in front of a station

[quick sky]

Orange juice decoration

[dense violet]

next time you're planning fluids ping me. I generally check server at least once a day

[paper star]

I dont think I'll ever touch trucks. Belts get the job done until trains

[dense violet]

with the right recipes you can create more rubber/plastic with fuel

[stark bison]

oh true

[quick sky]

The good thing about trucks is that they're good in rough terrain and you don't have to build rails or conveyors

[coarse geode]

i just tweaked my rates a little

good enough for now

[quick sky]

I dislike spaghetti so when an area is difficult I just truck it

[junior laurel]

F|| tr||uck it

[chrome cloud]

wait so tractors can just teleport back to the route offscreen?

[stark bison]

yes

[chrome cloud]

i just had one drive off the bridge for no reason

went down to pick it up and it just arrived at the destination

[stark bison]

they teleport anyway even on screen if they are on the correct path

[chrome cloud]

interesting

[stark bison]

they are delayed tho or very very slow

[chrome cloud]

so i don't need to worry about walling off the bridge

[stark bison]

not rly only make sure you dont drive to close to the edges and slow down before strong corners and 4m uphills

and if multiple trucks take the same path make sure they have enough space to go up and down at the same time

[chrome cloud]

i don't drive off the edges on the path but tractors happily suicide themselves at full speed for no reason

[stark bison]

they are quite stupid i understand it like. when you see an arrow on the path they will go like the arrow until they are very close to the next arrow (more space between the arrows more speed (up to max automatic speed))

if you know what vectors are in math.

[undone apex]

I just got into trains, and I just have to say; the animation that plays when you are loading a container that's still on the train is so cool. That is all~

[abstract heron]

anyone having issues with Satisfactory tools?

is it a horrible idea to put my train stations underneath my whole base and have vertical conveyors going out?

Hmm maybe I could set up an automated race track with explorers

[quick sky]

based, probably

[sturdy mural]

anyone else do the thing where you don't have something automated and instead of spending 5m automating it you spend 5h in total hand crafting it the whole game

[quick sky]

no, of course I don't (I actually do)

[steady dome]

Imagine thinking it takes 5 minutes to automate something

[sturdy mural]

reinforced iron plate:

[quick sky]

automation is high upfront cost, high eventual dividend
hand crafting is low upfront cost, zero dividend

[steady dome]

Sure, but you have to build up a factory and prettify it. It's a lot more work than 5 minutes

[quick sky]

however i do think the game does expect you to hand craft some high level stuff because they are useful for automating themselves, for example you can hand craft some HMFs for radar tech and then use that tech to find sloops to make the automation of HMFs easier

[sturdy mural]

720 iron already calculated for 60/m

[quick sky]

SAM fluctuators are also a crucial item from which you can gain great benefit without automating them at first

[sturdy mural]

find iron

and build it

[steady dome]

ANd prettify it

[quick sky]

extendable standard blueprints go brrr

[sturdy mural]

maybe not 5 minutes, but like 15 is already like fine if you're going for efifciency

[sturdy mural]

find resource
build factory
finish what you were doing
go back and prettify

[quick sky]

I don't wanna say there's a right way of playing the game but if you're constantly crafting RIPs then wtf 😆

[steady dome]

Two things:
You don't have blueprints at that point in the game (Reinforced Iron Plate)
Most of the time the extendable standard blueprints don't look good, but rather are a mass produceable thing

[quick sky]

it's a lot more fun for me to forget about achieving goals and focus on automating. It shifts my mind from "labor" mode to "problem solving" mode and then the goals achieve themselves eventually while I'm not looking

[sturdy mural]

i turned the thing where i had automated screws, plates, RIPs, Rotors into an Encased Beams, Screws, Plates, and more

i dont remember but it was those iirc

[quick sky]

If you don't have blueprints:

Iron -> split off -> constructors, plates + rods - screws -> assembler -> storage

no brain stuff

you don't even have to balance it, just get some plates

yass girl get you some platesss

[steady dome]

I never claimed it was hard

But you still need to prettify it 😉

[stark bison]

u can just explore and find them on the ground

[quick sky]

ain't nothin gonna be pretty 10 minutes into the game

trve...

[steady dome]

Why wouldn't you prettify it. There's no need to remove it later when you can just keep it

[quick sky]

you turned the thing?

[stark bison]

90 coupons left

[quick sky]

the amount of machines that I still have that I built in the first phase of project assembly is zero

If you build with obsolescence in mind you won't have to stress about the small stuff

[steady dome]

Unless you built them before foundations that's a big mistake imo

[quick sky]

why?

[steady dome]

Cause you're effectively deleting something to produce elsewhere when you could've just left it. There's plenty resources to go around

When it's still actively producing

[quick sky]

The reason there are plenty of resources is exactly why you're not afraid to delete it

You'll have the same abudance within minutes of automating the new setup

[steady dome]

That's backwards logic if anything

[quick sky]

I don't get it

The game isn't about hoarding stuff, it's about making more

[steady dome]

You're not hoarding it anyway

You produce what you need, not more

[quick sky]

that's very stressful

Just set it and forget it

[sturdy mural]

guys anyone knows how to fix the glitch where i'm called to do everything when i hop onto satis

[steady dome]

Except you're clearly not forgetting it cause you're deleting it later

[quick sky]

brain transplant

[quick sky]

No I'm deleting it because I want the ore

[sturdy mural]

also do slugs respawn??

[steady dome]

But there's plenty ore elsewhere

[quick sky]

nope

[quick sky]

yeah but it's far away

[steady dome]

So go explore

You're not supposed to only build in one location anyway

[quick sky]

You can't overclock your jetpack speed

there are enough resources to finish the game within one biome and a little way into its neighbors

[steady dome]

Good luck finishing the game in grass fields 🙃

guys can you get underwater without swimming

[empty spoke]

gotta jump in

[sturdy mural]

its too deep

like
underground deep

[empty spoke]

hypertube into it maybe

[placid stirrup]

Haven't tried in a bit but you might be able to get ragdolled in by a vehicle or APA which allows you to walk and build on the bottom

[sturdy mural]

apa?

[hollow anvil]

alien power augmenter, mam research reward

anyone else think the hmod frame recipe is a little bit over the top? for just 10/min with heavy encased frames it costs 1220 iron per minute, thats crazy imo

[sturdy mural]

APA can ragdoll you??

[stark bison]

nah its fine

[sturdy mural]

yeah its crazy, but you can shave a bit off with alt recipes

[stark bison]

you have so many more nodes on the world then you need

[hollow anvil]

yeah but its transporting them thats the pain

im gonna use train transport for mine

i cant be bothered placing massive ugly lines of conveyors

and it gets me to start my rail system

[stark bison]

what phase are you on?

[hollow anvil]

still phase 2, ive got the trains unlocked

ive gotten to aluminium in the past though, i just reset cause i didnt like the factories i made

even though now they look even uglier

lol

how do people even make such cool buildings?

[stark bison]

eh take your time

lots and lots of time

[hollow anvil]

its insane

[sturdy mural]

mods

i like how pipe modes are like "hey can i put the pipe here" and noodle is out there like "I wasn't asking."

[placid stirrup]

No mods, still making cool shtuff here 🖐️

[coarse geode]

is turbofuel worth it?

[stark bison]

yes

[fresh wharf]

Hey, I'm new, would it be better to make my miners put their ores into storage units then have the ores shared around machines or have the machines be fed ores directly from the miners?

[main heron]

turbofuel is worth it. Many people (including me) beat the game with rocket fuel, which is an easy upgrade from turbofuel.

[main heron]

Doesn't matter unless you want the ore for something. Coal & sulfur can be useful to have a little stash of.

[coarse geode]

i just finished building my whole fuel plastic rubber thing and now i can tear it all down again 😭

[stark bison]

nah just leave it and build new one

[fresh wharf]

Wdym? I'm asking which one is more efficient for production speed

[main heron]

no difference. miners & machines already have buffers. production speed is determined by the machines, and transport speed is determined by belts.

[fresh wharf]

Yeah but that's different, you can have only one of a miner per node, and you can have as many machines as you want on the same miner

[coarse geode]

that is also something ive been thinking about

[main heron]

🤷 storage doesn't affect anything unless you need the buffer for something. Train stops, for example - when loading & unloading, the belts pause. Having a buffer will help smooth it out.

[fresh wharf]

No, what I meant is
Is it better to share out the ores from the miners to machines or have machines per miners

[main heron]

uhm. Check input & output speeds to answer that

[lean quail]

is there a difference between having a fluid buffer on the main pipeline between lets say a Refinery to a Fuel Powered Generator vs having the pipeline split with one going to the Generator and one going to the fluid buffer

[fresh wharf]

What do you mean by that?

[stark bison]

the other one will not work that well

[main heron]

Keep playing for a while, you'll get it.

[lean quail]

if you produce 120, but only use 60, you can have 1 miner that goes to 2 machines

[fresh wharf]

Oh, alright thanks

[sturdy mural]

guys is this #screenshots message distance beltable or should i atp just use a train

[stark bison]

everything is beltable if you wish to. trucks or trains would be fine here as well

[sturdy mural]

yeah but what would be better

[stark bison]

i would go with a truck as its just long enough to be very ugly for belt and a little bit short for the train unless you are getting all the rez from there then maybe a train but you would save a bit of space if you go with trucks and use "row" method for trucks

[sturdy mural]

like 30 rubber/min

[stark bison]

that has to be a tractor or truck

are you going into the basin?

[sturdy mural]

if the basin is the like lake wiht a bunch of coal near it

then yes
i made a quick part factory

[coarse geode]

what do you need nitrogen for?

[main heron]

late game parts

usage section

it's also shown ingame in the codex, but you only see unlocked recipes

[ashen belfry]

It's better to not have any fluid buffers at all. They are kinda wonky

[rustic cloud]

Is there such a thing as a circular ramp foundation? Like when you want to get onto a freeway

[sturdy mural]

like
a round ramp?

[quick sky]

Why are some nodes on the radar scan green?

[spice patio]

Bug

[ashen belfry]

I don't think so

[rustic cloud]

I forgot a detail that goes up or down

[rustic cloud]

yea but which go up

[sturdy mural]

i dont think there is one

[rustic cloud]

sadge

[sturdy mural]

also guys can you like check which exact grid shut?

[rustic cloud]

#streams-and-videos message

[stark bison]

are radiated zones(with manual minable uranium) always radiated?

[lean quail]

Wanted to fill them with Fuel for the generators, so if the refineries' power grid goes down the generators would have spare fuel as an extra buffer on top of batteries

[white dawn]

Uranium nodes (of the sort you can place a miner on) will always generate radiation

[latent prawn]

no the radiation disappears once the rocks have been removed, but usually you need to do a save/reload to have the game recalculate the radiation

[white dawn]

The deposits which you mine by hand and then disappear should stop generating radiation once the deposits are gone, but sometimes the engine gets confused and you need to save/reload to get rid of the ambient radiation

[stark bison]

ah ok

#screenshots message 30 more coupon

[scenic crow]

why cant i place my oil extractor on this oil node? #screenshots message

[coarse geode]

finally found bauxit

finally i can make aluminium

[steady dome]

Cause that's a different type of node that doesn't support the regular extractor (You'll unlock them later)

[scenic crow]

damnn i need oil but the nearest oil is like 2000m+

i dont want to siphon off what im already using

[pearl geyser]

hi

is there a way to mark my auto miners

[prisma thicket]

You can place stamps or map markers on your map in their locations.

[pearl geyser]

how do i pull up map

[prisma thicket]

Are they each getting 15 coal and 45 water per minute?

[zenith pecan]

Press M

[pearl geyser]

thx

[stark bison]

#screenshots message if you look at the bottom left corner you have some helpers

[prisma thicket]

One water extractor isn't enough for 5 generators. Each water extractor provides 120 water per minute, but for 5 generators you need 225 water per minute

[vestal mica]

5 coal need 2 water exctractors unless you've overclocked the water extractor

[zenith pecan]

Pump or extractor, because if extractor, the five generators want 225 water.

[coarse geode]

is there a program to help with the math in this game?

[zenith pecan]

Also are you using mk1 belts, if you are, the generators will be short 15 coal too.

[sturdy mural]

interact with a powerpole

[prisma thicket]

If you look at a power pole, you'll see some a few line graphs. The blue one is your maximum consumption, which is how much power you'd use if your whole factory was running at full capacity

[coarse geode]

yo wtf are adaptive control units and why are they so difficult to make

[velvet temple]

for me making adaptive control units

[prisma thicket]

ACUs are space elevator parts, and they are very annoying to make until you unlock some things to make the production of them easier.

[velvet temple]

i just made a factory and left my pc running overnight

[prisma thicket]

Generally you'll want 3 water extractors and 8 coal generators per normal node of coal you're using, for 600 MW of power production

[velvet temple]

yeah coal is nice

[coarse geode]

like?

[velvet temple]

gears??

wdym gears

[prisma thicket]

Alt recipes and higher tier tech, some of the later recipes can make your earlier production easier.

[velvet temple]

ohhh

[steady dome]

Press 'N' - write rotors.
See what is required

[velvet temple]

u can do that

do you have any different recipes

for screws or rotors

[steady dome]

You probalby haven't found any yet, but there are alternate recipes for both yes

[velvet temple]

because just having cast screws makes it SO much easier

its an alternate recipe that makes it so you dont have to make iron rods for screws

you can just use iron to make screws

[coarse geode]

huh

[velvet temple]

like instead of iron rods being needed its just iron ingots

okay

automated rods?

idk

pipelines might be too slow

[steady dome]

You can see the limit to pipelines in the build menu in the info area

[velvet temple]

lemme make u a demonstration rq

[coarse geode]

time to rebuild my whole oil plant.... for the third time

[velvet temple]

for rotors

[cyan garnet]

Coal gens take 45/min, extractors produce 120/min, mk1 pipe limit is 300/min

You should be able to work out the math from there

How many generators can one water extractor support?

[spice patio]

Whops, there was instruction going on.

That one water extractor cannot fill needs of four coal generators, when everything is at 100%.

[jaunty jewel]

what

why did you randomly say coal all caps

[lean quail]

1 water extractor set to 150% overclock can support 4- 100% coal plants or 2- 200% coal plants (with 120 coal)

[jaunty jewel]

i gathered

[lean quail]

if you can't/won't overclock you can have 3 water extractors supporting 8 coal generators

[jaunty jewel]

with power shards unlocked in the mam

[velvet temple]

no

M.A.M.

[prisma thicket]

You'll need to find and collect the colourful slugs around the world and research how to turn them into power shards.

[lean quail]

the glowing snails you can turn into Power Shards which allows you to overclock machines

[velvet temple]

molecular analysis machine

[coarse geode]

finally making space elevator parts feels so satisfactory

[velvet temple]

real

[coarse geode]

pun intended

[velvet temple]

fun knee

[jaunty jewel]

i finished phase 4 space elevator parts before i got nuclear power down which idk

[prisma thicket]

Nuclear power is optional, don't have to use it if you don't want to.

[jaunty jewel]

i accidentally had all the materials to make them all in the same place

[coarse geode]

can you buy space elevator parts from the awesome shop?

[prisma thicket]

No

[jaunty jewel]

i know, i planned on doing it before phase 4 and im doing it becuase it is fun

[velvet temple]

thats what my dad did too

wait no

i replied to the wrong one

[velvet temple]

i meant this one

[jaunty jewel]

still doesnt make sense to me

[velvet temple]

he finished phase 4 before nuclear

[coarse geode]

i also need to get used to finally coloring my pipes its getting clustered

[jaunty jewel]

oh i was expeceting a "my dad left me" joke or something because the internet seems to really like those

[velvet temple]

no my dad introduced me to satisfactory

[jaunty jewel]

thats pretty cool

[velvet temple]

and he found satisfactory from lets game it out

[jaunty jewel]

that is also pretty cool

[prisma thicket]

xD lot's of people got into this game because of Josh, myself included

[jaunty jewel]

i definitely went a little bit overboard with phase 4 space elevator parts

[prisma thicket]

Not a bad thing, you'll likely need most of those for phase 5 parts

[jaunty jewel]

making 1 bwd was painful enough last time i did it idk how im gonna manage 4

but i will because it will be fun

also 8 alien expansion servers or whatever theyre called might be annoying might not be ill have to find out

to be fair my last save i had 24 biochemical sculptors /min so idk if this could even be classed as overboard

[velvet temple]

wdym lol

ohhh

okay so

[jaunty jewel]

you unlock them in the hub first then you place them in build gun

[velvet temple]

yeah

and if you want like roofs and windows you can unlock the awesome sink and awesome shop

build tool

where you build constructors and stuff

or just q

no

[lean quail]

only costs concrete

[velvet temple]

concrete platforms only cost concrete

[coarse geode]

are 3 oil nodes enough to make turbofuel, a plant, plastic, rubber

[velvet temple]

its concrete and iron plates i think

[velvet temple]

depends on the purity

nvm

[prisma thicket]

Also depends on how much you want to make of each product.

[velvet temple]

yeah that too

1 unpure 1 normal node should be enough for those

[coarse geode]

thats what i dont know yet

i have no clue how much i want/need

[velvet temple]

if you overclock the extractors

[coarse geode]

i have 1200 oil output

2x 300 1x 600

[velvet temple]

how much power would you want to make

[prisma thicket]

Well a good basic setup makes 100 plastic, 100 rubber and 100 fuel per minute, from 300 oil.

Do you have mk.2 pipes yet?

[coarse geode]

yes

currently powering 9 fuel power generators

with 50 input

[trim vine]

Hey all, whats a good way to determine how long it will take for a given train station to fill up enough for a full load onto the train?

[prisma thicket]

Well a freight car can hold 1.5 normal storage containers worth of an item, so figure out how long that takes to fill with your current production/belt speeds

[coarse geode]

eh ill be fine without turbofuel and smokeless powder for now

im producing 12gw anyway

[prisma thicket]

How much fuel are you producing right now?

[coarse geode]

9x50

[prisma thicket]

If you turned all of that fuel into turbofuel you could power 50 generators

[coarse geode]

fr?

at 100%?

[prisma thicket]

450 fuel makes 375 turbofuel, and turbofuel is consumed by fuel gens at 7.5 per minute, so that's 50 gens worth of turbofuel per minute.

Just need to add enough compacted coal into the mix

and it would increase the power output of your fuel setup from 2250 MW to 12500 MW

[swift kernel]

I can't believe there was an alien species on this fucking planet that I didn't know existed

[prisma thicket]

Btw, each fuel generator only requires 20 fuel per minute to run, so you must have a massive backup of fuel if you're only running 9 generators.

[swift kernel]

I guess I've never explored the mushroom biome properly. I came across that little tall guy who emits small poison clouds

Anyone know what I'm talking about?
