satisfactory

[burnt ferry]

no.. you were replying to questions you thought i would have by misinterpeting my messages and i was politely notifying you about it

[tired cypress]

Does this game support surround sound? I'm getting conflicting info on Google

[reef basin]

no? every message was just a reply to your previous one

[burnt ferry]

hence you could have been wrong in the very first one already, and then be wrong consequentially because of a wrong premise?

simply because you missed the fact that a response was found

which - like i said - isnt a big of a deal, unless you keep it making one

[reef basin]

or simply discord didn't scroll, as I was (at that time) replying to a message at the bottom of my screen 🤷

[burnt ferry]

not following the discourse and still responding.. yes..

like i said, i tried to say it indirectly, to be polite

[reef basin]

oh no, I'm talking in a public chat

[burnt ferry]

not good at being polite

[atomic notch]

Im also not good at being polite

Comes with the big brain

[burnt ferry]

nah

big ego maybe

im saying being impolite is not a result of having a big brain

[reef basin]

note to myself, answering a question is impolite

[burnt ferry]

thats just a cheap excuse for being unable to be polite.. me being not good at being polite, does not prevent me from realizing that at least 😂

[steady dome]

Hello newcomer. Perhaps chill down a bit?

[burnt ferry]

i was saying that i wanted to be polite and that i am not good at that.. i wasnt talking about you at all

so now youre gaslighting

ironically you do that because of the thing i actually said to you which you now probably missed because you are being mad about thinking i said you are impolite... if you had read properly both times neither would you have wasted your time by answering questions, not being asked, nor would you have wrongly come to the conclusion, you being deemed impolite.... .. i have no trouble being perceived as a snarky dude.. but i demand properly understanding my snarkiness, otherwise i'm forced to ridicule criticism

[mossy moon]

maybe just not extend the reply chain bcs this slowly going outside of satisfactory related stuff

[unkempt blade]

You're all amazing people and I hope you're having a great day unless you disagree with me about the tier list for best vehicle which is as follows from best to worst

• gold factory cart
• factory cart
• train
• tractor
• drone
• truck
• cyber wagon

[covert vault]

Factory cart is well and good until you even think about look at anything other than foundations... and then it's slipperier than a mario-kart banana peel lubricated with liquid teflon

[unkempt blade]

a small price to pay for the joy that is taking it through a skate park or off a jump pad!

[covert vault]

wait you can take them off jump pads... I did not know this...

[rain oracle]

indeed you can

[spark ruin]

is the ranking based on fun factor ?

[quick sky]

they should add zoning laws to satisfactory so you have to submit a 20 page document every time you want to add, remove, or edit any structure

[unkempt blade]

partially fun and partially in order of the joy they bring me as I see them zoom around

[spark ruin]

best tier list ever

[quick sky]

cyber wagon is #1 sorry not sorry

[spark ruin]

it even has the broken glass !

[unkempt blade]

You're still an amazing person. I just question your judgement!

[quick sky]

It is a deeply artistic statement echoing the intimate truth that we are all truly broken inside...

It can also teach you that even if you can't turn left, you can still get there by turning right 3 times.

[quick sky]

not naming names or pointing fingers but uh yeah

[azure swan]

I basically only didn't do rocket fuel or ionized yet because I had made a ton of turbo fuel specifically for my power grid. I didn't have enough power grid headroom to be able to take it down to upgrade to rocket fuel. I was also feeling much too lazy to just simply make an entirely separate factory (making everything from oil up).

I should probably make a teeny tiny ionized fuel factory just for the rocket pack at some point. Might be funny to see how little you can make with a single plant. Like make an entire logistic chain from the ground up to make ONE IONIZED FUEL/MIN. See how grossly large it would be.

Last time I fought a "large" stinger it actually jumped to me.

I DID NOT like that.

When I explored this area I'd already unlocked hoverpack and I'd begun my deep-sea diver exploration technique. Like an old school deap-sea diver who relied on an umbilical cord for air supply, I relied on dragging power lines with me. Those spider bitches aint NUTHIN when you've got hoverpack. A little mid-air side step when they jump at you is quite satisfying.

[azure swan]

It's a little bit of a pain in the ass, but the good thing is you automatically lay out a network of power to hook up to any random resource node you want to tap into, or to plop down a radar tower.

Alternatively a safety cube with peepholes you can shoot through

Think my discord is shitting itself. No surprise.

Oh that's funny. Blueprint a "Japanese pillbox" (google it if you're not familiar). I think those spiders clip a fair bit though. I recall getting hit by one that was stuck in the ground.

You could make a whole project out of this. BP an umbilical thingy with pipes, belts, rails, power, road, the whole thing, and tile the whole map with it. Get infrastructure'd

the bad thing is that you can no longer adapt any new buildings to the terrain if you do this. The good thing is that you no longer have to!

[azure swan]

Unfortunately I did most of my explore in 1.0 so autoconnect wasn't a thing. My next playthrough I will certainly be combining explore with powering/railing the world. Unfortunate that power will not autoconnect, but the autoconnect on the train rails and hypertubes is huuuuuge

[quick sky]

THERE'S AUTOCONNECT????

[azure swan]

Only in 1.1. It's one of the new features coming with the new release still under dev.

[quick sky]

also connecting power towers is not a huge deal tbh I think you could just mark spots out on the bp and place towers only like every 2 or 3

[quick sky]

nice, i'm already addicted! even more than previously!

[azure swan]

Yeah this would be the way. Basically the same as my power-only umbilical method but now you're dragging rails around with you too.

[quick sky]

oh but then you can't use your hoverpack 😮‍💨

you could conceivably place power towers in parallel while you're doing it... not terribly slow...

This is like saying a square isn't a rectangle.

People come here asking questions that don't necessarily relate to experimental. Seeing a post about patch notes could get them thinking there's a patch to their version when in fact there is not. Clearly going into the dedicated experimental channel is the best option for everyone involved

or is it??

[south siren]

Hello guys, can someone help me understand why my 2 refineries are not getting enough oil? I have 6 refineries each requiring 60 oil. I have an oil extractor pumping out 360 oil/m. I'm using mk 1 pipes(to my understanding, mk 1 pipe works better because pipes are always full, correct me if i'm wrong please). My pipe from the oil extractor is elevated and the refineries are below the starting pipe. The set up is like this. 1r-2r-3r-4r-5r-6r. <--main pipe. Refineries from 3 to 6 is working fine at 100%. 1 and 2r are both not getting enough oil.(max at 50%)

I've tried using mk 2 pipes but i still have the same issue.

ooof. I just figured it out. I had a small MK 1 pipe under a pump. T_T

It's working fine now.

[tawny urchin]

When a train is loaded, does it make it “heavier” and therefore harder to pull and move slower? Or is the weight the same on an empty freight car as a loaded one?

[shell scroll]

Pretty sure they accelerate more slowly and take more power to do so.

[tawny urchin]

Does it affect whether or not the train could pull the cargo up a steep slope? I want to see how many freight cars I can add on my track, and I want to test with empty freight cars but I want to know if they act the same as loaded ones

[shell scroll]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Freight_Car#Weight

[tawny urchin]

Dang why they gotta make it so complicated 😭

Makes sense though

[leaden ether]

SO first of all Mk1 pipes are only 300/sec so you have to use a Mk 2 or use two Mk3 pipes. Second, manifold distribution of liquids like you have set up there do not work well as the last in the line will get starved. You need to at least slit the line into to then manifold three refineries each. Or possibly even better, slit the 600 into three pipes and then split each three into two for the smoothest fluid flow. (If you still want to use a manifold and as long as it's not more than 8 or so in a row, you can sometimes fix the manifold by splitting the pipe before it enters the manifold and then connect one pipe to the near end and one to the far end.

[south siren]

I understand that mk 1 has a limit of 300 but how come a coal factory with 8x coal can be fed with 3x water extractor on a mk 1 pipe?

[shell scroll]

!wikisearch cg

[fossil ice]

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

[frozen ingot]

because it is set up in such a way that no single section of pipe requires a flow rate exceeding 300/min

as above ^

[south siren]

OOOOOOOH

[frozen ingot]

but you can never get more than 300/min out of a single point (e.g. an oil deposit) without a mk2 pipe

there ya go 😄

[azure swan]

Basically it's not just 1 pipe.

[south siren]

Can I technically break a 360 oil extractor into two then connect the two pipes at both ends if used for 6 refineries?

Like if I do an mk 2 pipe THEN break it off to two mk1 pipes then connect those two pipes at the end of the refineries

[leaden ether]

Yeah 🙂

[reef basin]

the problem with "1 pipe" is that you can't really say "1 pipe" when it has junctions and such, because then it becomes a bigger system than just one pipe

[south siren]

Geez satisfactory makes me smarter each day lol

thank you guys I really appreciate all your help

[azure swan]

if you do mk2 pipe then break yes. You just can't violate the need for each individual segment to be able to carry the amount needed.

[leaden ether]

Pipes can get to be a real headache fast so best to always think about splitting as evenly as possible and breaking things up into smaller groups that get fed with a pipe from separate sources. So rather than trying to combine a fluid from 8 things then separate it again into another 8 things. Combine and separate into 2 groups of 4 for example.

[frozen ingot]

yeah exactly, hence why you have to think about single sections of pipe sometimes (i.e. without junctions)

[sand relic]

Valves have fixed like 90% of my issues with pipes

[reef basin]

valves make like 99% of issues with pipes

[shell scroll]

But they can cause as many issues as they solve.

[sand relic]

Huh. I guess I havent run into issues using them yet. maybe im not building big enough yet tho.

[atomic notch]

1-1 pipes go hard

No splits no manifold just machine to machine

[vestal mica]

i don't even unlock logistics. who needs splitters and mergers

[leaden ether]

Or belts! Hand carry all materials from machine to machine 😄

[atomic notch]

Me bc too many belts will crash my game

[vestal mica]

i hand carry outputs from one machine to the next

keeps me busy

[atomic notch]

What if u got like 300 constructors? Lol

[vestal mica]

the nice thing is when you open a machine it puts all the relevant parts at the top of the display. and when you change a recipe on a machine, it automatically takes all the other stuff that was in there out. i just have one of each machine

[atomic notch]

Yeah ig that makes sense

[fickle tusk]

this GOT to be trolling

[atomic notch]

If u plan around 0 logistics u want it to be as simple as possible

U just got miners into dd then or how do u collect resources?

[vestal mica]

you press e on the portable miner and then press "gather all" or whatever. then you run back to the smelter

[leaden ether]

There have been times where I needed to only transfer like 10 stacks of some high level item across the map to another factory to have it do a complete run on a phase requirement and didn't feel like setting up a delivery system right then. But uh doing it for iron plate or something would not work well 😄

[atomic notch]

SE of the map would be a great spot for that

[golden furnace]

I didnt realize just how efficient turnofuel was now I got 1800 crude oil/min just standing around

[leaden ether]

I have a fun pipe situation coming up shorty. I have to take the ouput of 8 diluted fuel blenders and split it into 27 refineries. There nothing even about that distribution 😦

[lavish sleet]

those are the moments where i partake in under/overclocking without a second thought

[leaden ether]

Yeah I could add a 9th blender (and underclock them all) for an even split but then of course that'll mess up the piping further back in the line -.-

[lavish sleet]

8x diluted fuel is 800/min so split it into halves, 13.5 refineries for each half

[leaden ether]

It's that .5 that kills it, someone is going to end up starving

[lavish sleet]

i see yeah is that just accounting for pipe weirdness?

maybe you could split it into 4 sections so as long as you let the pipes fill before starting and do a loop there shouldn't be an issue (2 blenders to 6.75 refineries, so build 7 and underclock)

[charred sentinel]

Why not just make it a multi-input manifold? Send each blender's output to a line of three refineries, and put a junction in the middle of each pipe going off to the side to feed the final three.

[prisma thicket]

#screenshots message I might have enough biofuel to last until I can get packaged Ionized fuel for my jetpack.

[wanton stag]

I didn't realize how long it would take me to craft all the stuff to make all the acus I'll need hopefully for the rest of the game, istg that sucked and if I have to do more I'm gonna cry

[leaden ether]

Yeah I have 3 rows of 9 refineries needing the fuel and two sets of 4 blenders making fuel so I'm going to try running a pipe to each end of three sets of manifolds from each set of blenders and hope the refineries in the center get enough. Otherwise something fancier...

[lavish sleet]

hmmmmm not enough (i doubt i used more than 1 or 2 industrial containers for my jetpack all the way through endgame)

[prisma thicket]

The effects of slooping the entire biomass/fuel line is ridiculous lol

[humble glade]

hello, can someone who like, understands pipes help me? i need some help on a factory.

[gritty shoal]

can circuit boards be found around the map?

really want to unlock somersloop to speed up early game

[humble glade]

yup

[charred sentinel]

Has anyone ever seen anything like this? #screenshots message

[prisma thicket]

Whats the problem? Not sure I can help, but I've been working on learning pipes the last little while so I'll give it a shot.

[humble glade]

i want to move 600 rocket fuel per minute

thats all i want to do, but i cant

[atomic notch]

Just clock to 9 blenders

[prisma thicket]

Have you tried splitting it into two pipes of 300?

[humble glade]

the problem is that i am trying to get it up to the top of a tower before letting it down on the generators

[frozen cloud]

dont do 600, do 300 or 500

[prisma thicket]

That was my suggestion, 2 pipes of 300

[humble glade]

either that

or i get started to building my 2000 rocket fuel into ionized fuel factory

[dense violet]

or just do nuclear?

[humble glade]

then what would i do with my 2000 per minute rocket fuel?

[prisma thicket]

Well, getting the rocket fuel up the tower shouldn't be a problem, since it's a gas it doesn't need pumps to travel up. Splitting your output between 2 pipes should make it easier.

[humble glade]

oh i totally forgot it was a gas i thought it was a liquid and i left the pupms i used to get the turbo fuel up there

[zenith pecan]

Rocket fuel tower 😄

[brazen hinge]

[prisma thicket]

Taromani is well versed in the difficulties surrounding a massive RF generator setup lol

[humble glade]

wanna see it? there are 2 towers 145 generators per tower

[abstract heron]

i am making 9444 rocket fuel per minute

[dense violet]

toss it in the garbage where it belongs

[humble glade]

why that number?

[abstract heron]

idk but debating on making 9440 for power

[humble glade]

then what will power my jetpack?

[dense violet]

keep like, 5pm, being bottled

[leaden ether]

Definitely a fallback plan, should have considered it earlier, I'll need to redo everything all the way back to do that at this point :/

[humble glade]

either way i am currently sinking 800 rocket fuel per minute

[prisma thicket]

Cobalt, you seem to be in the minority here, many rocketfuel enjoyers in the chat today lol

[zenith pecan]

go for it #screenshots I built a rocket fuel tower as well, albeit it is a little bit mental.

[prisma thicket]

How many gens did your towers have again Taromani? I remember your support tower had over 7000 power storage units, but not the number of generators you were running

[dense violet]

people are allowed to have terrible opinions. Look at the US.

when you can put down 40 nuclear gens instead of 400 fuel gens, you have a bad opinion 😛

[prisma thicket]

Eh, I like fuel generators. Sure the Nuclear option delivers 10x the power per unit, but generators are simpler to run, no byproducts to deal with and only one input.

[reef basin]

time for me to join in I guess

[humble glade]

#screenshots message and yes i did put a whole platform of batteries just in case i run out of fuel, i have about 27 hours last time i checked

[wanton stag]

guys im now in phase 4 :D

[dense violet]

by products are trivially looped back in and I'd barely describe water fed from a single pipe a second input

Got my cute little 900 rubber/m factory running. It's really weird how it works too. It uses some of the oil to make rubber which is then used to create plastic and the plastic is used to create a massive amount of rubber, a good % of which is fed back into the plastic section increasing output even more.

I am SO wary of feedback mechanisms, especially if there is any fluid involved. My rocket fuel power plat uses a mechanism to try to use some waste product but the entire piping of trying to get that little bit of extra turbo fuel back into the system was a nightmare of instability.

[jaunty jewel]

personally for rf i use nitro rocket fuel so i can put all compact coal into making more turbofuel and just burn that (or i could even make more rf but thats insanity)

[wanton stag]

[sturdy mural]

guys quick question
is nuclear power as easy as

• place plant
• hydrate it with water
• make nuclear cells
• feed them to plant
• take out waste

[jaunty jewel]

i am excited for sulfuric/nitric acid in nuclear however where the water output from the blender matches the water input for the acids

[junior laurel]

Bonus step:
Lick the glowy rocks for a chance to become a superhero

[jaunty jewel]

i am not however excited to fix stuff that wont work (also placing npps will be the bane of my existence)

[sturdy mural]

(why)

[jaunty jewel]

evern with blueprint i dont want to bother with placing the water extractor

each npp base clock needs 2 water extractors base clock, each 250% npp needs 5 base extractors or 2 250% extractors

and then i get to spam my logistic blueprint

carries rods below, water comes from below, waste stays above, looks pretty clean

[gritty shoal]

does stun rebar do same damage as iron rebar?

or is there damage tradeoff for the stun effect

[jaunty jewel]

a lot less but it simply stuns

if you have two rebar guns you can more effectively use it

or two players works even better

[latent prawn]

yeah, you have to switch to another weapon to do damage while a critter is stunned

[junior laurel]

Or just be me and #fan-art message

[sturdy mural]

stun it with rebar and decorate it with nobelisks

[latent prawn]

imho, unless you do some control remapping, the sequence to switch weapons after a stunning shot is a little too unwieldy to be practical

refinery that uses 60 units of crude oil is 60 m3 of oil from extractor

[jaunty jewel]

PHEW! After hours of research finally found out by looking closely, why some Blueprints don't snap (no way!!). Example:
If you place an industrial container, then it kinda "hovers" over the ground - not even 1m, but just enough to make it impossible to snap (not even with nudging!)
I can clearly see the shadow under the container.
Is this a known bug?
(The only soultion until now is to place a basement before - but in my case this doesn't work because I wanted to place it over an existing container)

how do i get the train freight platform to fill the train?

I’m at the area between the desert biome and the northern forest which used to be OP but then got nerfed a little at 1.0. In theory I can get most materials there

Next to all the iron ores is more copper and limestone but it’s so high up compared to the steel location

[cyan garnet]

I built an entire electronics factory on that cliff face

Overlooking the canyon and river delta

[dense violet]

then you have more than 1 copper and 1 limestone node.

[daring trout]

Yeah it’s gonna be a big factory just idk what all is going to go on there

[dense violet]

it's still very good

[lime ermine]

And more water, and it outputs more power

[daring trout]

Right now I’ve built a 8 coal generator power plant, currently producing steel pipes and such and I have a rudimentary section for Sam ore so far. I got mines for all three quartz but haven’t developed them yet. Got myself a small one limestone and concrete production

I’m running out of reinforced iron plates though so I’m trying to get iron rebuilt next to this area so I can be free of biofuel

[stoic mason]

hey does anyone know how i can place only two blockers signals on a station

without needing more

cause they wont stay green

[true mulch]

You can't only signal a station or junction. Once you have signals, you have to signal the entire railway network

Open a #1038092680493801533 with screenshots of your problem

[stoic mason]

well like do i have to place signal blockers all the way around my tracks if i have more than 1 train

[boreal musk]

if you only place signals on your station, the entire block will be occupied by that one train

and your other train wont be able to move through that block until that one train complete the whole loop

hence you need to put block signals pretty much on your entire railway network

[stoic mason]

if i open a question and help do the screen shots have to include the whole track?

[boreal musk]

ye, bird view preferably

[daring trout]

How do you all plan your iron factories?

[stoic mason]

i opened the question thing

[boreal musk]

use planner

[dense violet]

or just basic maths

[grizzled lotus]

questions about speed; sliding speed > sprinting
sliding = jumping after spring-slide?
using a jetpack with the initial jump maintains that speed. correct?

[dense violet]

but yeah a planner works well https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production

[dense violet]

you might slowly lose momentum?

[grizzled lotus]

tbh it doesn't feel like it

[true mulch]

Jetpacks exactly maintain the launch velocity

[grizzled lotus]

but I did notice that when I use hypertube launchers I do lose momentum. unless I use the jetpack at the peak of the jump/speed

[dense violet]

It's hard to tell. I always though you might lose a bit with jet packs? maybe?

[grizzled lotus]

could never tell, to be honest.

is solid biomass better than liquid fuel for the jetpack?

[frail sleet]

You don't lose momentum unless you give control inputs which are far enough off your velocity vector. If you tell pioneer to accelerate in the wrong direction it will cancel out some of your velocity and you won't get it back.

There's a pretty large safety zone where acceleration that is a little bit off your velocity vector can redirect your velocity without reducing it, and you can use that to do a 180 degree turn or fly in circles around a zone until you run out of jetpack fuel.

[true mulch]

No, way worse

[frail sleet]

liquid biofuel is way better than either

[dense violet]

yeah solid is ... basically unusable

[grizzled lotus]

maybe my launcher is aimed too high

[frail sleet]

If it's aimed high, then your velocity vector will point upwards during the first part of your flight and downwards during the end, and you can't redirect that very effectively because you don't have motion controls that point up or down. You get the cheapest and easiest redirection when flying level and redirecting your vector using A/D and maybe camera turning a bit.

[prisma thicket]

Liquid Biofuel in the jetpack has the longest burn time, so you can go the furthest on a single tank of fuel.

[true mulch]

It only exists so you can use the jetpack if you get one from Johnny early 😛

[frail sleet]

I've still never seen that guy ever

[dense violet]

seems cruel 😛

[true mulch]

I read that it might be bugged after 1.0

[dense violet]

I've seen some people on here post 1.0 with sightings

[prisma thicket]

Or until you get packaged fuel setup. Jetpack is the first milestone of tier 5, packaging fluids is further down the line.

[frail sleet]

either it's so rare that you can play for 700 hrs and not see it a single time while exploring everywhere, or it's bugged 😄

none of my friends who started after 1.0 saw it ever either

[prisma thicket]

I've seen him once, not since 1.0 though.

[true mulch]

Yeah, but Johnny can spawn at any point, and solid biofuel is available starting in tier 2

[grizzled lotus]

this feels like spoiler-territory but if someone has played over 700 hours and not seen it then meh

[true mulch]

He can only replace alpha hog spawners, not any other hogs

[frail sleet]

i have been rather genocidal

[true mulch]

A lot of alpha hogs were replaced with cliff hogs which doesn't help the situation

[frail sleet]

maybe it's just that, low chance to replace only those variant of hogs and not many of them in the world.

[true mulch]

Otherwise, if the Johnny roll succeeds on a group spawner (bunch of those in the red jungle) then all alpha hogs in the group will be replaced

[grizzled lotus]

how does the fuel consumption work with jetpacks? I thought it only consumed the fuel if you used an entire unit in one jump. But I'm guessing it just collects what you've used and it's all-over very efficient?

[true mulch]

They tend to be on paths between biomes

[frail sleet]

Yes, i think the pioneer tracks % of a unit of fuel used and they subtract 1 every time you've used 1.0 or something like that

[true mulch]

It overdrafts the fuel usage

If it could refill 2.5 canisters, it will eat 3 from your inventory and buffer the 0.5 for the next refuel

[frail sleet]

For the jetpack hovering and air control, personally i found it very easy to pick up, BUT on analysis that is probably because i spent a bunch of time doing quake strafe jumping and stuff. It's complete nonsense as far as physics goes, but it's fun and the Satisfactory version is rather forgiving once you do have a vague sense of what to do

[true mulch]

We were forced to learn jetpack hovering because the hoverpack wasn't a thing for several updates

[frail sleet]

sometimes i see how many times i can fly in a circle and take the same hypertube cannon without losing speed

increasing speed and the limited control rates which eventually force you to fly completely around a biome before coming back 😄

Air control rates also differ between equipped fuel, even when you're not burning it. Liquid biofuel has huge duration but little control

Turbofuel has more control, but very low duration and i didn't like using it.

Rocket fuel has high control and moderate hover duration

Ionized is great at everything

IIRC if you look directly ahead and just hold A or D, then it will curve your horizontal velocity to that side without reducing it. I think the horizontal and vertical velocities are separate, and horizontal is the one that you can control. Pairing camera angles with directional inputs is a bit more advanced

[boreal musk]

i mean, we still forced to hover with jetpack anyway since hoverpack is phase 4

[grizzled lotus]

what happens if I connect a different liquid to a fluid buffer that already has something in it?

[frail sleet]

the universe explodes

(i think the liquid which is in X pipe/buffer already stays there, and the other cannot enter)

[dense violet]

you can't.
and you suffer for even having buffers exist

[grizzled lotus]

man ppl really hate buffers

[dense violet]

because they suck ass

[frail sleet]

a buffer is just a vertical pipe with a funny model and an extra zero or two on the pipe capacity

[grizzled lotus]

I just unlocked packagers and I haven't gotten to using them

[dense violet]

they have a bunch of mechanisms that easily break flow if you don't know what you're doing, and don't add benefits even if you do know how

[frail sleet]

They're neat for warming massive manifolds, especially with rocket fuel. If you don't make accomodations for warming them, they can take 10 hours to warm up. If you do, the same powerplant can be full in 10m.

[true mulch]

If you circumvent the fluid mix prevention by e.g. connecting two refineries and changing the recipe in one of them, only whichever fluid enters the pipe first will be allowed to enter and the other refinery won't output

[true mulch]

Buffers aren't useless but 99% of people following their intuition use them wrong

[frail sleet]

agree 😄

[true mulch]

Tbf manifolds are also unintuitive

[frail sleet]

fluid manifolds especially are really easy to do wrong

[native harness]

if im working to complete phase 2 what like basic stuff should i keep in storage and not feed into space elevator parts

[dense violet]

have containers of ball building parts

basically everything but screws

[true mulch]

The parts you need for building now are parts you'll need for the whole game

[frail sleet]

For the most part people recommend a building method where if you want a final product like space elevator part, you build everything that is needed for it specifically for that product from ore.

So you could have for example a small amount of each building material automated, and when a new part required that material, don't take it from storage - just build more of it in front of the machines for your advanced part.

[native harness]

would you say wire is neccesary

[dense violet]

yes

[grizzled lotus]

yes

[native harness]

ok cool thanks

[dense violet]

many things need wire

everything except screws

[native harness]

gotcha

[grizzled lotus]

wire is necessary but you almost always end up with more wirre than you need

[dense violet]

the only building that needs screws is the awesome shop

and they only are needed for a few equipment pieces you might only make once

[mortal ginkgo]

I would like to say something positive about screws-
User autobanned.

[grizzled lotus]

is smart plating necessary after phase 2?

[dense violet]

every space part phase following

[spiral badger]

slide jumping feels the same, but not normal jumping 😦

[dense violet]

at least I'm pretty sure each space part phase

[true mulch]

!wikisearch Space+Elevator

[fossil ice]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/index.php?search=Space+Elevator

[frail sleet]

Generally the answer is yes, and when it's not, you can/should sink those parts for coupons if you're not using them and their storage is full.

[crimson blaze]

I want to swap all of my tractors to use packaged turbofuel instead of coal, what's the best way to do that?

Connect turbofuel instead of coal to each truck station and empty the fuel slot of every tractor

[crimson blaze]

Cool, thanks!

[grizzled lotus]

can I change the marker's size on the compass?

my compass is kind of cluttered

[prisma thicket]

You can turn off certain markers in the map menu

Either turning them off on your map or your compass

[grizzled lotus]

hmmmm. I'm kind in that situation where I want to know where stuff is without being it a mess. I've set up different minifactories for different parts

[prisma thicket]

Then just turn off the compass markers of the factories you don't visit often, you can keep them marked on your map for when you need to find them, if you can't remember.

[grizzled lotus]

true. I'm also thinking of grouping them. For example, I would have one marker to the east, and then have all the markers east of that only show up when "near"

[prisma thicket]

Sounds like a good idea. Gotta go with what works best for your own brain.

[boreal musk]

you can use the cartography mod, it shows your factory in the ingame map, which is useful

[grizzled lotus]

you mean the factory itself? and not just the marker?

[boreal musk]

basically scim, but ingame

[vestal mica]

it lets you categorize markers. it should let you turn on and off the categories and not just all markers or no markers

[quiet vigil]

Hey guys
Do drones refuel only at their original port (the port on which the drone was built) or do they refuel at any port they land in?
Cuz one of my drones takes 11 mins for a really short trip and the destination port always has fuel in it and so idk what's wrong

[dense violet]

any port

11min for a short trip? I think that's impossible.

[frail sleet]

It's probably just not able to unload at the destination so it stays there until it has room to unload

[grizzled lotus]

OK, I'm starting to realize I need trains to finish this phase

[dense violet]

long belt 🙂

[grizzled lotus]

~2km!? sounds like a lot of trouble

[dense violet]

much quicker, just sprint slide jump dragging a belt along

slap dash your way to tier 9

or at least drones

[grizzled lotus]

I mean, aren't trains more fun?

I haven't set them up in my last run, but I don't imagine it's worse than belts

[winged parrot]

think anyone could help me? apologies if the answer is somewhere that i havent bothered to look yet
i have a coal generator just running at half production when the water and coal intake is fine

idk if this is the right channel to ask, i can post a pic in a different channel if that would be better

[austere valve]

Did you underclock it to 50%?

[placid stirrup]

#1038092680493801533 would be the place for that if you want, otherwise there's a few handy tips/diagrams on the wiki we can share if you'd prefer that

Those are the "foolproof" idiot proof something and they'll make a better idiot setups if you follow them closely

[winged parrot]

i think i might know what my issue was

[placid stirrup]

Trying to push more through the pipe than it could handle?

[winged parrot]

no uhh

the max power for a coal gen is 187.5 mw right?

cause i mustve had 2 connected together which doubled the max power? cause i was under the imrpession it was 375 mw

[placid stirrup]

If you OC it all the way yeah, 75*2.5. the inputs scale, is that what you're saying?

[winged parrot]

yeah

i thought something was wrong with my coal gen cause one alone wasnt pushing 375

[placid stirrup]

Oh haha, yeah a machine will always tell you what it's producing in its interface if there's any doubts

[prisma thicket]

Hmmmmm redoing my coal power plant for funsies... how should I arrange 56 coal generators to make feeding the water easier?

[frail sleet]

https://i.imgur.com/QhoE5aF.png this is my fav 😄

(88.8888 clock so that 1:3 ratio lines up without power shards - that very conveniently means that it takes exactly 9 generators to consume 120 coal, rather than 8)

tiled example

[prisma thicket]

Hmmm with that I'd need space for 63 gens... I guess building offshore makes the most sense then.

[frozen cloud]

i really like clumps of 32 fed by 3x 240/min water

[frail sleet]

I resisted building anything on water for hundreds of hours after the trauma of building my first coal in the little pond of the grasslands. Eventually realised i was just being dumb and there's plenty of water for anything imaginable and unimaginable

[frozen cloud]

wait 32 * 45 isnt 720

#satisfactory-memes message

[trim vine]

Been eyeballing that Instant Scrap in the blender, but everything I am reading looks like Electrode Scrap is the move....

To me it looks like a 1:2 ratio of bauxite to Scrap

Whereas electrode scrap uses oil, and is still a 1:2 ratio?

Am I missing anything?

Is it just the use of Sulfur that turns folks off?

[frail sleet]

Mainly, but it also uses more coal (and coal is precious in p5)

[trim vine]

But OIL DIAMONDS

😛

[frail sleet]

it's cheaper to use electrode scrap and make coal diamonds

[trim vine]

Nah, I understand now, its planning for p5, gotcha

[frail sleet]

instant scrap buys a reduction in complexity at the cost of sulphur and carbon consumption

but i think sloppy electrode is simple and efficient enough to just do that

[trim vine]

I gotta ask though, outside of a steel mill, which is kinda not needed with Iron pipe, how much coal do you need roughly in p5

considering there is 42.3k in the world

(also considering Cloudy diamonds too, with the abundance of limestone

[frail sleet]

enough that burning 1.2k of it is tiny scale 😄

like 10k or 20k is nice to have i think

and yes, cloudy diamonds are good to increase yields as you don't use all of the limestone on rando other stuff.

[frozen cloud]

eh alu doesnt need that much oil
probably have enough for alu and oil diamonds

[trim vine]

ok, so I'm not gimping myself with the instant scrap, which, considering the most important factor, looks super cool with all them blenders, and overclocks in a really nice way 🙂

[trim vine]

Nah, its not that much, but I wanna use BLENDERS!

Thank you both ❤️

off to sleep

[frail sleet]

likewise in end p4 / p5 btw you also need industrial quantities of copper

these sorts of things start to pop up https://i.imgur.com/Efx0ipS.png

[dense violet]

sloppy + electrode = instant in terms of output

but imo it's less convenient to do at larger scales

(instant I mean)

[frozen cloud]

been there done that xD

yup green lights

yup

oh shit i found the problem i had 2 trains stations but they were facing opposite directions

https://tenor.com/view/facepalm-really-stressed-mad-angry-gif-16109475

[trim vine]

Easy fix though 🫠

[old yarrow]

ya

[prisma thicket]

You can have train stations facing the opposite directions, just need to set up a push-pull train with a locomotive at each end facing opposite ways.

[old yarrow]

nono i meant they were literally right next to each other, im setting up a circuit

[thick vine]

yay it seems I summoned an update by asking about it. sad that they removed random ada comments, I rarely get to hear her later in the game

[mossy moon]

just got back and saw the patch notes, so thats why i was jumping so high i thought they changed the physics of the pioneer

[sterile blade]

Were you the one who requested to be able to throw wall holes at stuff?
#satisfactory-experimental message

[thick vine]

yes. very glad they added the wall hole launcher in the latest update, game was unplayable without it.

[undone jackal]

Im thinking about making packaged fuel just to sink it

[austere rivet]

@void gorge did I miss something, shouldn't there have been a video last friday or was that cancelled?

[void gorge]

Next one is scheduled for this Friday

Cadence scuffed cuz holidays left right center

[austere rivet]

yeah ban all those darned holidays... work more cracks whip thanks... stream today?

[latent prawn]

yeah, both instand and sloppy+electro end up with the same yield. the advantage to instant is that it is a very easy thing to build

[void gorge]

Bruh I've actually been labelled a psychopath for wishing we could do 4 or 5 days some of the shorter weeks ;__;

The curse of jobs where "holidays" mean you just have to cram what you can of 5 days worth of work into 3

Don't get me wrong it's still a pretty neat job

[frail sleet]

I went hundreds of hours without any ada lines on my 1.0 save, so i was unaware that she was even supposed to be playing voicelines outside of unlocks

[latent prawn]

for me, at some point the ada lines in the new 1.1 playthrough stopped

[void gorge]

There is probably a middle ground imo

[latent prawn]

i kinda found the passive agressiveness of them funny

[void gorge]

The latest EXP patch removed her completely

Should definitely be room for them every 2hrs or so

[frozen cloud]

just make it a slider

[frail sleet]

if Ada lines are supposed to happen when you build things, i've never had that happen in 1.0. She only ever spoke when i was doing something new at the start of a phase, and then for the other 90% of the phase there would be zero voicelines.

[latent prawn]

yeah, the really funny ones were after a respawn

[void gorge]

ADA afaik is only supposed to react to milestones or first time events yeah

[frail sleet]

That's my experience, is there an issue with that?

[void gorge]

Nope, intended

[frail sleet]

Like, you can probably disable her in the options if you don't want to hear or skip those. Otherwise i want to hear more Ada, not less 😄

[thick vine]

reminds me of the horror stories from.some game Studios where the devs have to work 800 hour works at the end of the development

https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production?share=Ohg48uzU2K2QB2141qWa Looking at the hor refineries, should I a) make 2 and slightly overclock them, b) make 3 and underclock one massively or c) make 3 and underclock them all equally?

[digital depot]

i usally let all run at 100% except last in the row underclocked or overclocked depending on actual need

[prisma thicket]

Alright, just feels weird to have a machine running at 3.7% clock speed lol

[digital depot]

or whatever suits your math

[tall lantern]

I usually clock either evenly, or into groups that then clock evenly

[frail sleet]

make minimum number of machines (3, if not overclocking) and underclock equally (~67.91%)

[digital depot]

if you need to split it anyway i would try to split equaly ,..

[last jackal]

It kinda differs on the number of machines imo.

If you have 100 refineries... I'd rather overclock/downclock 1 or 2 rather than downclock 50 of them.

[tall lantern]

eh, at least in 1.1 it's about the same effort either way, thanks to the sampling also taking the recipe and clock speed

[last jackal]

But if you have like, 3-4 machines. Just downclock them equally imo. Especially when you're dealing with fluids.

[grizzled lotus]

how do I build a freight platform?

[tall lantern]

build one, clock, middle click, place the rest with the same parameters

[frail sleet]

same as any other building, but you need to build a station first for it to attach to

[grizzled lotus]

so trainstation and a freight platform attached to it

why can't I build a trainstation that attaches tot he end of my railway

I did it. Can I build a trainstation/platform in the middle of my railway?

[gilded scroll]

so a quick question... I need to jump start my entire water production and coal power plants, is it worth building batteries and then having them discharge for like 30 seconds?

otherwise i would need to build like 20 biomass burners

[kindred pumice]

Hi, sorry to bother you guys, i play on a server with a friend and the serv just crash, don't want to stard ( infinite load) and show error message ( on Nitro serv website + the console show nothing). Someone can help me ?

[frail sleet]

You can't build them on a rail, you need to delete the rails and connect them afterwards

[tall lantern]

though also you probably shouldn't put them on the main line anyway, usually better to put 'em off to the side

[frail sleet]

Are all of your coal plants interconnected? If they're all a single unit then you may have to do that.

With the module i've shown off here, you only need to power up one extractor (so 1 biomass burner of capacity is plenty) and then it'll run 3 coal gens, and you can use that to power up the next, and the next, and the next etc.

[gilded scroll]

yeh they are interconnected

[frail sleet]

Ye power storage is probably the easiest way

[dense violet]

Build the station first

[grizzled lotus]

ok, ok

[dense violet]

Kick start one section of it first , power the others with it

[grizzled lotus]

I rode the train and I got nauseous 😵‍💫 I need to straighten out the tracks

[gilded scroll]

@frail sleet I guess I fd myself over a littlebit oh well 😄

[frail sleet]

Bootstrapping is a significant design consideration, but something that you tend to think about more when you're doing something for the 5'th time i think

[gilded scroll]

my last playthrough of this game was update 4

[prisma thicket]

If I'm using the Recycled Rubber/Plastic combo with no additional rubber or plastic coming into the system, I need to provide some initially for the system to work correct?

[tall lantern]

normally that combo's kickstarted by Residual Rubber (and Heavy Oil Residue)

but if you have a setup that doesn't do that, then yes, any loop with no source outside the loop will need some initial input

[prisma thicket]

Ok, I think I'll put half a stack in each of the machines, should give me some wiggle room.

[alpine jolt]

whats the 2.3 gb update?

nvm

im reading in patchnotes

[grizzled lotus]

how do I build train intersections? is that unlocked later?

[dense violet]

Just build them with rails

Using foundations makes it easier

[grizzled lotus]

I mean literally how? is it a unique part?

[zenith pecan]

I did that to make my rails in the past really understated, just the rail on the large pillars & their supports.

[frail sleet]

No, you just connect 2 different rails to one rail

[boreal musk]

no? its just rail on top of rail

[mortal ginkgo]

I think the way she actually did it was unnatural some people claimed.

Like one person said she would immediately say something when you choose a building etc.

I honestly think instead of scrapping the idea they should just build on it.

I dont mind ADA yapping time to time. It actually makes little sense for her to not talk considering earth is danger and I spent 3 game days decorating stuff.

[boreal musk]

rail intersection is when 2 or more railway from different connection overlapping each other

[frail sleet]

it is ironically simple enough to be confusing if you don't know anything about it lol

[leaden turret]

someone on dev stream asked for a snarkyness slider in game settings

[true mulch]

to be exact, you can join tracks together on track joints (where each segment ends), which will form a switch

[mortal ginkgo]

ADA Tsundere slider when?

Its not like I care about you b-b-baka pioneer-kun!

Man I even felt the cringe. I am still not leaving the server tho. Sorry.

I think ADA still comments when you build something at first time. It is good enough albeit I wouldnt mind surprise ADA yap

[boreal musk]

i wouldn't mind as long as its not like the ficsmas ada, too repetitive it became annoying

[mortal ginkgo]

Also eventually running out of things to say after a while would be equally unrealistic.

I am sure very late game would take alot of time to build

[dense violet]

I think at this point you should just watch a basic tutorial on YouTube

[grizzled lotus]

k

I think I've literally spent over an hour just setting up railways

if I end up having to dismantle it I'll rip off my gpu

[leaden turret]

I think we should have ADA speaking Swedish (or Dutch) before we have ADA speaking Japanese

[mortal ginkgo]

No. Weeb in me disagrees heavily.

[leaden turret]

[mortal ginkgo]

Sorry. I am not strong enough to resist weebness.

[junior laurel]

ADA should speak like a pirate first.

[leaden turret]

we could ask our resident Sweeb, @void gorge

[mortal ginkgo]

At first I was naive.

I thought screw haters are silly. They are goobers. They are silly goobers.

And now I see that for such a tiny setup I need 18 constructors making screws...

I was a FOOL to think otherwise.

[red sun]

cast screw is calling

[mortal ginkgo]

Yeah I have that funny enough.

I still hate screws.

[red sun]

welp, that's just the fun of screws

[young crest]

Is ADA hot?

[red sun]

incredibly

[young crest]

[mortal ginkgo]

Ada is cute uwu

[frozen cloud]

have you considered steel screws with mk6 belts?
idk screws are easy

[red sun]

ficsit, may we invest in larger screw containers

[boreal musk]

you wont need much screw if you do 1 rotor per year

[mortal ginkgo]

Brother in all faiths possible, I dont even have oil unlocked yet and you telling me to yoloswag mk69 belts

I want to make a silly cute goober hub to have stuff made for me and screws are hell already

also for this setup I need 70 constructors like gyatt damn

my DSP days of smelter numbers are over, time to embrace constructors I suppose

[mortal ginkgo]

2/min Heavy Modular Frame brake the camels back for me, casually asking for 420 screws per minute

Horror in factory games was not in my bingo card.

I was like bro not jumping was hard enough. Why are you large AND jumping

The devs... maybe

[boreal musk]

you dont, you place pipes you pray they work

[mortal ginkgo]

I still have a question about pipes that I am afraid to ask.

my last coal gen on the line was not getting water enough on a row of 8.

water was in the pipe but value was going up and down.

it all got fixed after putting a motor thing before main line.

I still dont know if it was sloshing or height issue

[boreal musk]

mk1 pipe only hold 300/min
you tried to butt force 360 to mk1 pipe

[frozen cloud]

then how did the pump fix it

[mortal ginkgo]

Nope. Or else motor wouldnt fix that. I studied my lesson. 2 pipes were feeding into it all

[boreal musk]

are you sure the pump fix it?

[mortal ginkgo]

yeah pump fixed it

if I take the motor water refuses to go get filled

[frozen cloud]

probably height issue
though theres a chance......

[mortal ginkgo]

if it was height other pipes should have the same issue.

basically 3 water bois filling up 2 pipes. 1 water boi shares both pipes

i waited for all to get filled only to see first and last gen on left and right was having water issues

[boreal musk]

pre filling the pipes is always recommended first before connecting the coal into gens

[mortal ginkgo]

yup. I was in that lesson. Studied it too so I did that.

I still think the issue was that Coal Gens requested too much water at once ( I toggled them all on one by one but still fast)

[boreal musk]

wdym by too much

[mortal ginkgo]

so there were sloshing happening everywhere and motors just fixed it

[mortal ginkgo]

they succ water the moment they start no?

wait I think they were filled.

I think there were some sloshing happened because water bois were not full at the time?

I dunno man.

problem immediately went away the moment I put motors on the very long pipes leading to coal gen main line

[frozen cloud]

*pipes be black magic

[boreal musk]

pump does block backflow, but it rarely needed for coal gen setup

just prefill it and you're golden

[frozen cloud]

eh pumps do some crazy stuff as well

[mortal ginkgo]

when I am home imma delete motors to see if the problem comes back.

but I am pretty sure i waited until water and coal was maxed as one streamer suggested

so I didn't go into pipe business blind

I just hope Satisfactory 2 Revenge of Ada will have better pipe system.

[ashen belfry]

I did some crazy things with the pipes.
Whole system with no pumps and way higher than a single pump can pump
