[dusky relic]

Build a truck and drive it below the station, see if it can transfer

[static finch]

try driving below and see (edit, what salty said)

[sterile blade]

Tbh, the main reasons I did delve into that stuff was:

• I like sushi
• I like precise stuff
• People kept saying it was impossible

... It was totally not mainly because of the last motive ù.ù

[dusky relic]

I love being fueled off of spite

[static finch]

lmao

[dusky relic]

That takes serious dedication though

[jovial oracle]

Well, the loading animation occurs but the unloading doesn't.

And it also refuels.

I'm assuming it will work.

[dusky relic]

Do you have the station set for loading?

[jovial oracle]

I'll just YOLO it.

[jovial oracle]

It's currently unloading now.

[dusky relic]

(I never do trucks, I'm just assuming it's like train stations

[dusky relic]

Do you want it to load?

[jovial oracle]

The logic should be the same though.

[jovial oracle]

I have some plastic in the station, yes.

[sterile blade]

The power of spite 😆

[peak wasp]

I steam deck a good choice to play this game on?

Also when are we getting actual ownership of this game

Instead of a license that can be revoked at any time

[last jackal]

Shatter's range is pretty much point blank to the extent that it's nearly identical to your melee. It packs a punch, but it's debatable.
Stun rebar is an absolute god against everything that isn't a nuclear hog where you just stun it and wack it until it's either dead or not stunned, where you just reload the next shot and repeat.

Oh and the rebar gun has more per-hit damage than the gun.

[peak wasp]

I wanna have a GOG copy of this game like I can factorio

I'd be happy to buy this game again if it meant a DRM free copy of this game on GOG

[latent prawn]

technically the game itself is drm free already

just because it is sold through steam/epic doesn't mean it has crippleware in it

what the game does use which would be difficult to rip out is its dependence on epic's online servers to broker multiplayer sessions

[reef basin]

There's a command line option to disable EOS

[latent prawn]

yeah, you can disable it and go only ip connecting, but the stuff is still built into the game

regardless, CSS is pretty on-record as saying the game is drm free and doesn't mind if you make copies of it for your personal use

[leaden turret]

1.0 added steam services, iirc.

[leaden turret]

Also a thing that should come up from the archive if one googles it

[latent prawn]

yep, thanks for mentioning that as well

[jovial oracle]

Completed the motor factory, I can finally sleep well tonight.

[void gorge]

I can't believe I'm checking the weather report to see if the camera will be all right today lmfao

But it's 12 degrees at the hottest and rain, we're good

(USB fans ordered)

[hidden sparrow]

Pretty good to hear !

[storm girder]

Why are railway signals so hard to understand? They seem simple at first glance, yet I find them utterly illogical. Am i the only one confused?

[frail sleet]

And the steam stuff is far superior

[pearl walrus]

Whats the issue? You have blocks signals and Pathway reservation for intersecting paths.

[leaden turret]

only in the sense that it won't fall over when epic does some promo nonsense in fortnite

[leaden turret]

tape cardboard to window while waiting for blackout curtains?

[storm girder]

i know but whenever i try to make it work it doesnt and i get lost. especialy with long lines

i wish i could send a graph here

[ivory storm]

#screenshots message is there anything i can do about this

[reef basin]

Apart from the fact that it can be used only within steam

[jovial oracle]

Yeah, just store whatever you currently have in your inventory to a personal storage box and then take the stuff from the grey box.

Oh, it's water.

Er... maybe take it in your inventory and push it into a water-related system or fluid/industrial buffer.

[true night]

When I was first learning signals in Factorio, I just kept repeating the mantra "Chain in, Block out" in this case "Path in, Block out".

For every entrance to an intersection, put a Path signal. After every exit of an intersection, put a block signal.

You can put path signals inside intersections in some places to clear unused routes so 2 trains can pass, but you can wait on this a bit until you start to understand the overall gist.

[storm girder]

well yea i get the idea. its just whenever i do something simmilar it doesnt work 😆

[reef basin]

You can also just put blocks everywhere

[true night]

The train experts can give a better answer, but it might be that the block signal has to be far enough away from the interesection for your longest train to clear its tail.

[jovial oracle]

Please do not remind me of Factorio.

[reef basin]

There's a few of these rules of thumb, but they mostly apply only in larger networks

[jovial oracle]

Factorio train signals were a nightmare to understand.

[reef basin]

For small starting networks, anything can work

[reef basin]

They are pretty straightforward tbh

[true night]

That's why I didn't put chain/path signals inside intersectiosn until I started to really understand. Kept it working, even if not quite as efficient.

[reef basin]

Putting path signals inside intersection is kinda pointless

[true night]

Possibly in Satisfactory. It depends on how the game defines a block.

[jovial oracle]

I had problems, Idky. Maybe I'm dumb.

[true night]

EAch game is slightly different.

[latent prawn]

i'm not going to go on at length about signalling, but when you are first cutting your teeth on the games rails & signals, enforcing exclusive access to train junctions and stations by using block signals at the stations & junctions is sufficient

[reef basin]

Block is a thing between two signals

[true night]

In Factorio, it counts crossing intersections/track as part of the block of the forward track as well, so it has to be diferentiated.

[jovial oracle]

Afaik in Factorio, you also had to take the length of the train into account for reservations, right?

[reef basin]

Yeah but path signals only reserve the actual path in a block

[ivory storm]

the problem is i cant pick the death crate up from any angle, i can only view the water resource

[jovial oracle]

Yeahhhhh just leave it there XD

[true night]

And if you put a block before an intersection, and the next block after the intersection is occupied, a train can go into the intersection and block other trains.

[latent prawn]

and subsequent blocks up to the next block signal

[true night]

That's why you reserve the intersection wtih a path signal.

[ivory storm]

is there really no way to pick it up man 😔

[jovial oracle]

Not that I know of. The others might know.

[reef basin]

Only needed in high traffic

[true night]

Might have to delete it with a map web site.

[jovial oracle]

Aright chat, I go sleep. Night.

[latent prawn]

or change its z coordinate

[true night]

^

[storm girder]

i can send my problem to screenshoots if its allowed. i made a simple graph

[latent prawn]

something else is that the hoverpack's extended interaction range can sometimes allow you to reach things in water

[jovial oracle]

Send it in #screenshots. Copy the message link. Paste it here for others to help.

[vernal phoenix]

So hotswapping pipes to mk2s really fast jumble liquids for anyone else?

[true night]

Sounds like expected behavior, as it tries to fill half-empty pipes, might send the flow backwards for a sec.

[vernal phoenix]

nah i have water in piplines 280m above ground connected only between an extractor and a refinery.

[jovial oracle]

Fluids in this game are sorta... weird and dumb.

[storm girder]

#screenshots message

its quantum physics for me

please help

[jovial oracle]

Wait, you are extracting water 280 meters upwards?

Or downwards?

[vernal phoenix]

not water. Oil the water came from some higher power and only in certain lengths along the pipe.

Same thing happened to oil and fuel lines... Seems to happen when i hotswap a whole bunch of pipes right next to eachother.

heres a perfect example, ill show you in screenshots.

[jovial oracle]

What do you need help with?

[true night]

First attempt using only words. For each of the 4 lines leading into that 2-way section, you need a path signal before the 2-way, and a block leading away from the 2 way. 8 total signals, one of each on each of the 4 tracks.
You also want a path signal just before the loop gets back to itself on each of those lines, and a block signal after the separation of the loop leading to the station. so 8 total more signals.

[vernal phoenix]

for whatever reason i cant sent screenshots, maybe im not allowed?

[knotty wasp]

cheeck #screenshots

[reef basin]

Use #1038092680493801533 for these

[knotty wasp]

i havent made use of em myself so unsure how they work

[true night]

Inside of each loop, you can put a block after the station, and 1 before, and any others that might fit beyond that.

NO signals on the 2-way track in the middle.

[storm girder]

uh.. yea im trying to process all that

in my head

[jovial oracle]

You don't wanna end up reserving space for trains on the 2-way track in the middle cause that'll clog the whole network.

[storm girder]

but building 2 tracks expensive and time consuming

[vernal phoenix]

ok i managed to get a screenshot up.

[storm girder]

especialy if it goes thru the whole map

[jovial oracle]

Flush the whole pipe network.

[jovial oracle]

How much are you planning to transport?

Cause if it's not much, you could just belt them.

Trains carry a ton of cargo.

[dense violet]

Do overhead shots in #math-and-meta or a qna post.

This is the worst channel for troubleshooting

[storm girder]

8 freight cars in every train

time of transport is not really an issue

due to volume

[jovial oracle]

You need 1 locomotive for 4 freight cars. Solid cargo, fluid or weight doesn't matter. 1:4 is the ratio.

Anything more than that, it will struggle.

So you need 2 locomotives/trains for your 8 freight cars.

[storm girder]

i just made one big hub with every resource in the game next to the main factory

[true night]

My attempt at art in screenshots. That's the minimum needed to clear the network.

[storm girder]

its lovely. thank you

[jovial oracle]

@storm girder If you are still having trouble learning about trains, just watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYBQZZOZrsg

[true night]

You can space just blocks inside each loop, starting with before and after station.

[jovial oracle]

But listen to Jimorian first.

[storm girder]

something will change if i decide to connect one more line just like 2 before? or it works the same

[true night]

But as said, no signals at all allowed inside the 2-way stretch.

I think if you start to undestand why what I put works, it will start to make sense for further expansions. But at some point, you really do want double track.

That single 2-way is always going to be your bottleneck, all trains have to wait for that to clear.

[jovial oracle]

Bi-directional tracks are a catastrophe waiting to happen, imo.

Just remember:
Number of block/path signals > Number of trains
Length of block > Length of train

[reef basin]

Too many signals

[finite latch]

dump question.. are there enough sloops on the map? as in, is it going to hurt if I don't collect one?

[prisma thicket]

Well you don't NEED them for anything, so techincally yes there are "enough". I think there's just over 100 of them in all.

[vernal phoenix]

will do soon as i unlock the hover pack.

[fathom grove]

107 precisely, they're very useful towards endgame

[dense violet]

build a ladder, or ramps, or a scout tower

[prisma thicket]

Absolutely, but not needed.

[vernal phoenix]

Would but now something is seriously wrong. I restarted the server and now it crashes on boot.

[frail sleet]

Had nothing but trouble trying to connect to peeps on epic, so at the very least cross-play is bad

[leaden turret]

prior to 1.0, epic and steam crossplay was done entirely through epic.

people still had issues.

the issue isn't epic vs. steam, the issue is networking is hard

[frail sleet]

I've played 500 hours with steam multiplayer, flawless. 20 hours with steam<>epic crossplay post-1.0, nothing but issues. Took hours to even get the game working properly the first time.

[true night]

You're assuming 1 train per route (2 total trains). The 2-way sections are an issue inside each loop otherwise. And thinking about it, if there are 2 (or more) trains are on each route, using only the loop ones ensure no blockages, so you are right, I used too many.

[reef basin]

The image mentioned 2 trains only

[clever pier]

they work fine in something like Transport Fever 2. But yeah I gave up on trying to make them work in satisfactory

theres just something not quite right about signalling on bi directional tracks that consistently messes it up no matter how careful you are

one way loops is the way to go in satisfactory OR simple A-B point to point with a single train

[sturdy ore]

guys whats the best effort to sinking cost item to automate? im trying to get the golden nut but im still 400 short

[clever pier]

nuclear pasta is pretty simple to automate in mass compared to other end game parts, you just need lots of power

and lots of copper (use copper alloy to reduce)

[shell sluice]

i cant for the life of me find fungus to do the parachute \ fabric research near the desert starting area, am i missing something obvious?

[prisma thicket]

which desert starting area?

[shell sluice]

east

[prisma thicket]

Probably easiest to go south into the swamp and collect mycelia there, it's all over the place.

[shell sluice]

alr thanks ill give that a go havent been that way

[reef basin]

Should work if you don't put any signals on the actual bidi section

[hard ivy]

Yeah, it's absolutely possible, but also absolutely a terrible idea if you care about throughput even a little bit

[sage wind]

What are the satisfactory ports?

I have 7777, 15777, 15000 ?

Are there any others?

[formal minnow]

you guys ever just stand right next to a 2m foundation to remind yourself how big everything is

like, logically I know 2m is a bit above average height
but I really don't feel the scale that often with satisfactory

[dense violet]

The size of objects and the desription of heights are weird yeah.

But also 6ft tall is like 180cm so 200cm is significantly taller than people

very few humans are close to 200cm

[fiery gust]

Guns gud

Spiders bad

Bombs better

[clever pier]

photomode with detached camera in 1.1 allows you to get better perspective on the size of things

[clever pier]

i like homing ammo for spiders

bombs for hogs

[hexed phoenix]

Guns with bombs - Legendary

[fresh seal]

God I hate the jumping spiders, honestly the most primal fear inducing things in gaming for me

[clever pier]

turn on kitten mode

[dense violet]

put on arachnaphobia mode 🙂

[fresh seal]

I tried it once but don't really like it, and fortunately I don't need to deal with the big boys too often (and will have rifle soon anyway)

[broken thorn]

Put on retaliate mode or peaceful

[prisma thicket]

Do you need Sloppy Alumina to use the 100% efficient bauxite setup? It's just Electrode Scrap and Pure Aluminum Ingots right?

[broken thorn]

I use all 3 recipes

[hard ivy]

You get the most aluminium per bauxite using sloppy alumina, electrode scrap and default ingot

[prisma thicket]

Ahhhh damn, then I need more hard drives lol just used my last one getting Rocket Fuel xD

[hard ivy]

But that requires a ton of silica so I always do pure ingot instead

[last jungle]

why is it when i click a /!\ appears and i cant swing my xeno-basher

nvm it let me swing again

[dense violet]

because you're alt tabbing out

[last jungle]

ok

[dense violet]

any chain of recipes can be 100% efficient? not a good description

[last jungle]

also the xeno-basher hitting noise kinda sounds like slime

[prisma thicket]

I just meant 1:1, bauxite to aluminum

[dense violet]

sloppy + electrode + pure gives you 1 ingots to 1 baux

same as instant scrap

[rugged abyss]

is there anyway to play online when you are below 18? i cant take control of my EA account cause im under 18

[last jungle]

i dont really know how

very helpful i know

also i found out mass dismantle is op

[clever pier]

satisfactory doesn't use an EA account? its uses an Epic account for multiplayer

[static finch]

you can invite people thru epic and steam

[clever pier]

does epic or steam block under 18 age people playing multiplayer

first I heard of that?

[static finch]

i do believe theres parental controls

[clever pier]

oh so its the parental controls... not any restriction by coffee stain

[static finch]

nope

[clever pier]

yes, convince your parents to let you

better you're playing satisfactory online than GTA or call of duty

[last jungle]

is it lucky that i have an alpha hog not too far from my base

[static finch]

the parental controls come from the epic account or steam family group. Even if youre under 18, but still mature enough to use discord and have a pc, your parents should let you play with others. Especially us here, everyone is pretty mellow. at least from my experiences

[last jungle]

like he doesnt directly obstruct me just annoying me sometimes

i mean once i have enough offensive abilities free hog remains ig

[static finch]

lol

[clever pier]

I would use poison grenades to kill the hog

[rugged abyss]

tbh, im not to concerned, im turning 18m in august, so i just have to wait

[clever pier]

and then build some powered machines near the spawn point

[last jungle]

grenades?

like nobelisks or smth?

[clever pier]

poison nobelisks

[last jungle]

im struggling with sulfur rn so might be difficult to get

plus ill prob only get default nobelisks for crumbled rocks

[clever pier]

or just walls around the hog to trap it

[last jungle]

mmm yes

the treatment that i did to the spore flowers near my base

(its basically useless)

[static finch]

my parents did the same thing to me with parental controls until i was 17(im 21 now), dm me if you would like advice. I can tell you how i got them to relax a bit

[clever pier]

I hope your parents let you sooner, especially coop games like satisfactory

tell them its educational... you have to do math to figure out machine optimisation

[last jungle]

also where is the "satisfactory calculator" i see ppl talk about

[clever pier]

theres a few different ones

satisfactory tools and satisfactory calculator websites

[static finch]

https://satisfactory-calculator.com/ upload your save game in the interactive map

[clever pier]

i prefer tools

https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/

[last jungle]

where can i find my saves

[final epoch]

has anyone tried the automate it game thats coming out in like 20m? looks interesting

[last jungle]

like save files or smth

[clever pier]

the satisfactory calculator website tells you where to find your save

[last jungle]

i just found out how to change session name

yess

[outer sparrow]

Im afraid

of sending the last space elevator load

[last jungle]

why?

[static finch]

your c drive> users> your username> app data> local> factorygame> saved> savegames> then theres one more folder

and youll see a list

[last jungle]

i guess ill look later

[static finch]

it can be used to plan or "cheat"

[last jungle]

are stingers difficult to kill?

[static finch]

not in my experience

[last jungle]

i have xeno-basher so i assume not

[static finch]

the game isnt combat oriented, so nothing should be difficult to kill.

You'll be good

[last jungle]

honorable mention

alpha hog is a bit difficult

[dense violet]

research stuff in the MAM, makes exploring easier

[last jungle]

yea i need quartz for blade runners, dont have enough

what should i try getting?

rebar gun?

You asked for the crouch key

Its C

ohh

wow

does it do anything like prevent u from walking off ledges?

[static finch]

nope

not like minecraft lol

If you don't wanna fall off, you build railings or fences

[last jungle]

get me out of this omg

ooo you can also jump while crouched

if you ever need to get somewhere and theres something blocking your head

theres a stinger and 2 spore flowers

i hate this despite being pretty safe

100 coupons is insane

[sullen gull]

Oh, you said 27 blues lol. My math is wrong

[pearl walrus]

But it so much time to run around, i just make coupons passively so

[dense violet]

reload to a time before you purchased them. It is in no way sustainable

[last jungle]

never thought that the regular sky would be so calming to see

[dense violet]

you know the next 100 coupons will take like 10x as long right?

[static finch]

i believe its a total of 40 now

[pearl walrus]

Maybe

[dense violet]

and the next group 10 or 100x as long? the cost increase is dramatic

[pearl walrus]

But like wjat am i gonna use coupons for anyways

[dense violet]

everything in the awesome shop

[last jungle]

16 quartz from my leftover dead body

i think i can research blade runners now

[pearl walrus]

Reinforced iron plates?

[dense violet]

all the statues? There's a ton of alt recipes and it's not feasible to coupon your way across.

honestly reload to a time you hadn't spent them

[last jungle]

do i research blade runners?

[outer sparrow]

stuff ur too lazy to automate yet need some of

[pearl walrus]

But its just a statue

[outer sparrow]

yes

[last jungle]

ok

[pearl walrus]

@dense violet look at this guy hes even worse then me

[outer sparrow]

hehe

[dense violet]

have you bought all the other objects? there's tons of new items unlocked as you go up the tiers

[pearl walrus]

Now I have

[green fiber]

Buyable Hard drives only become available once you are basically done with the game anyway

What else is there left to automate

[pearl walrus]

Im gonna just make a Nuclear pasta sink to get the 400 coupons back that ive spent on hard drives😎

[dense violet]

I guess if you've bought literall yeverything else... but if you're not likely to get all the rest of hte recipoes unless you've gotten almost all of them

[pearl walrus]

Hmmm

Gues ill just save game editor my way there

[green fiber]

Lazy bastard

[pearl walrus]

[last jungle]

should i buy reinforced plates if i still dont have them automated

[pearl walrus]

No

[green fiber]

So you are forced to buy even more later? Sure
Go into debt

[vestal mica]

my new goal is to just put a miner down on an iron node into a sink and then buy everything.

afk a bit

[last jungle]

do copper not iron

[pearl walrus]

Keep dreaming buddy

[last jungle]

i read copper gives more points

[green fiber]

Uranium gives even more

[dense violet]

sinking ore basically gives nothing

[last jungle]

i have semi-automated reinforced plates

[last jungle]

ok so how do i do this coal gen

[vestal mica]

teach them how to use the chainsaw

[last jungle]

coal power gen

[vestal mica]

you put coal and water into it, and it makes gogo juice

[last jungle]

thats the hard part

i dont know if i have nearby suitable water

coal is near but idk where water

[static finch]

bring coal to water not water to coal

[last jungle]

like wdym

[vestal mica]

explore some if you can. every section of the map has at least one spot with multiple coal near some water

[static finch]

put miner on coal vein, build power plant on lake, belt coal to said lake

[dense violet]

there are more coal nodes located next to water than not, find a group of 3-4 nodes next to a water source. Each start zone has at least 1 spot likethat

[last jungle]

#screenshots my approximate map location, idk where water

this is about bottom right of the map

[static finch]

you might have to make a powerline highway

[last jungle]

whats a powerline highway

[static finch]

a bunch of powerlines in a line to your factory

[dense violet]

not a thing that really exists. All you need is 1 cable from your power station

ok

[dense violet]

1 cable can move infinite power

the cable has a distance limit tho

[last jungle]

yea

[dense violet]

1 cable does not make a highway

[last jungle]

i have cables and power pole materials on me

thats not a problem i hope

[dense violet]

that's like saying stretching 1 belt across the map is a highway , which is silly.

[last jungle]

what is that screenshot that u sent

[dense violet]

just a general idea of where you need to go for coal+water

with the arrow. Pointing.

[last jungle]

thats like

northwest?

[dense violet]

seems that way

[vestal mica]

yeah, grassy fields says it's for new players but it may be the most unfriendly to setting up real coal power. especially if it drops you where you are

i don't want to do spoilers. but run around and press the coal scanner until you find a clump of them. they will probably be close to water. that arrow is a hint

[dense violet]

it has broad stretches of space and all the early materials you'll ever need. And introduces you to critical aspect of hte game. Like making hubs.

it's an excellent starting place for new people

[last jungle]

great scan

oh wait

[formal minnow]

yeah have a fun road trip

[last jungle]

i think i found water not too far

[dense violet]

the arrow pointed you to 4 coal nodes next to a nice big lake. you'll need all that power

use nearby coal for steel

[formal minnow]

trust me when I say that finding water without coal is pretty much worthless when deciding where to put a power plant

[last jungle]

so i just go in that general direction and wait?

[dense violet]

why wait? go and look and then build when you find it

[last jungle]

like not wait time i mean wait until i get there

[formal minnow]

first of many road trips in the name of growing the factory

[dense violet]

well can't do anything until you find it 🙂

[last jungle]

i found doggo

[dense violet]

I suggest planning it out so you give yourself lots of space to build lots of geneators.

[last jungle]

[dense violet]

maybe multiple floors

[last jungle]

i found sulfur heck yea

like a sulfur deposit

[formal minnow]

ehh I find coal gens annoying to stack
I've never really had to anyway, by the time you need that much power you have better options for power production

[pearl walrus]

One skyplatform is the answer

[last jungle]

going nw i find a weird cliff that i have to go to

i just traverse it?

[formal minnow]

mmmm fluid dynamics

[formal minnow]

the map has vague "roads" that you can follow
just take the one that seems to go in the general direction you want if you want an easy trip

alternatively, build gun

[dense violet]

#1368525377630244954 message something like this can easily last you to tier 7

[dense violet]

ping for coal, it'll help

[last jungle]

I FOUND MYCELIA

FIRST TIME

[formal minnow]

tasty

[last jungle]

lets go in while ignoring the absolutely catastrophic consequences

[formal minnow]

surely the conses won't quence this time

[last jungle]

i only went very lightly

got 82 mycelia eitherway

what does purity temp mean

like node purity

found water pool

[dense violet]

just means there are many nodes

[last jungle]

ok

WHAT IS THIS

IM HERE AND ITS LITTERALLY A LAKE

[dense violet]

why are you shocked or surprised you found a lake where you were told you'd find a lake?

[last jungle]

no like

ive never seen such a big lake in satisfactory

[dense violet]

you've barely explored the map 🙂

[last jungle]

now how do i get to the other side

i assume foundations and ladders

[boreal musk]

there is a path

[dense violet]

swim?

[last jungle]

ok

im afraid theres smth in the water

[dense violet]

there is not

[last jungle]

cuz i wanna set up an easier way to get here for later trips here

[dense violet]

ladder?

[last jungle]

ok

swim go

thought that would cause dmg

[dense violet]

you cannot drown

[last jungle]

no lik

dmg from the fall in water

that fall height into water would kill a person i think

[boreal musk]

well its a game

[last jungle]

ye

quartz?

didnt expect that here

so many spitters here 😭

i hate spitters

why was there red one

[woven estuary]

Hello, currently having an issue with one train not loading 1 of 3 items. It will load up the plastic and rubber but some reason wont load the packaged fuel ,Works manually. I hope someone has a fix that does not require redoing all my train stations. Thank you

[last jungle]

maybe its using the packaged fuel as its fuel?

[dense violet]

trains don't use fuel

[last jungle]

they dont?

[dense violet]

electricity

[last jungle]

ok

[woven estuary]

Its probably bugged

A user from reddit had to delete all their railroad system to fix the same issue. Even the trains not delivering that bugged item.

[pearl walrus]

Its probably an issue on the individual level

[last jungle]

also how will i fuel the miners

with the coal gens that they "power"?

[vestal mica]

yeah, i wouldn't dismantle your entire rail network, when you just forgot to set that one platform to load instead of unload or whatever the issue really is

[last jungle]

wait i could make blade runners here

heck yes

im so fast whoa

[vestal mica]

and bouncy

[last jungle]

fr

i love blade runners

[dense violet]

bioburners?

[spice patio]

Squashed lifts going away?!
Pitchfork time!

[last jungle]

to get them started?

ok

[static finch]

once u jump start the system, its self sufficient.

[last jungle]

ok

Do we have any news on 1.1 by any chance? Last I checked, it was coming out in early May, and that has passed without 1.1

[last jungle]

why are water extractors so annoying to make

[sullen gull]

Wait, wut??

Don't be messing with my squishies!!

[spice patio]

Moments ago in the Twitch stream.
Didn't catch all the specifics.

[static finch]

wym?

[sullen gull]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.

[last jungle]

for my unautomated assembler ahh that might be annoying to make

also i placed the water extractor down

[sullen gull]

That would be super dumb imo. Was it a "bug" this whole time?

@spice patio

[oblique aspen]

if you need to employ tricks to build it, its clearly not the design intent 😛

[last jungle]

i hope i have enough copper for this

[spice patio]

Yes, it was unintended "feature".
And in 1.1 they broke inside BPs when that BP was deployed.
And the "fix" seems to be to prevent building them.

The ends clip into each other little bit at the minimum squashed size.

[sullen gull]

Gah, yeah, I was having issues with lifts breaking when clipping a merger or splitter on them, but I will cry if they have to "remove" it ..

[vestal mica]

will existing ones in my save stop working or I just won't be able to build new ones?

because hell if i know where they all are

[spice patio]

Not being able to build more.

[sullen gull]

Good question, not sure.

[spice patio]

Existing ones will keep working.

[last jungle]

ok so what do i do if i possibly dont have enough copper for pipes

[dense violet]

get more. that's why you automate things

[last jungle]

bro im so far from my base

[dense violet]

sprint slide jump with your blade runners, will only take a couple min

[last jungle]

what

sorry i dont know what the movement tech in this game is

[dense violet]

sprint, then crouch to slide (this gets you a speed boost) , then jump to maintain the speed

you said you had the blad runners right?

[last jungle]

ok ill try

ye i do have

always the screws man

screw them bro

this is so fast actually

tysm

what does "always generates power at the set clock speed" mean

on coal gen description

[zenith pecan]

One issue with building masses of tunnels on one plane, sooner or later there will be some crossing points: #screenshots message

[dense violet]

that it will always produce that amount

as long as it has fuel

[last jungle]

ohh

so unlike biofuel gens they dont slow down to reduce resource usage

[sullen gull]

Lol, I would like a copy of your save when you're done 🤣

I want to run around in it lol

[last jungle]

what item are u holding

[zenith pecan]

The bauxite highway and SAM delivery route collided heh.

[last jungle]

rifle?

[sullen gull]

Lol, doh

[sick agate]

10th of June 1.1 release!

[zenith pecan]

Had to happen sooner or later, I'm trying to keep the tunnels at a standard depth.

[last jungle]

water connected now i need to connect coal

[runic acorn]

I have started laying out the 90 fuel generators I had planned and I am starting to maybe have some regrets

[robust nymph]

nah don't regret 90

[amber sorrel]

JUNE 10!!!

[robust nymph]

It's only time for regret when you build 767 of them #screenshots message

[amber sorrel]

1.1 JUNE 10

[last jungle]

what does flush mode mean

in pipes

[robust nymph]

it means you empty either the pipe or the entire network of pipes

[runic acorn]

I thought I would be able to fit them on the lake in the lake forest but I severely underestimated how big they are compared to the coal ones

[last jungle]

do i get them as an item?

the water

[robust nymph]

don't need water though, so don't need to be above a lake

well, the generators themselves

[robust nymph]

no

it disappears

[last jungle]

i mean its a good way to get rid of excess water ig

[robust nymph]

no

it's not, if you make too much water either deal with it (in case of aluminum production) or place less water extractors

flushing your pipes manually means you have to manually deal with excess water

[runic acorn]

big flat space though

[robust nymph]

it's only good for "resetting" the network

[robust nymph]

or multiple floors

[last jungle]

alr thx

so now i power this and it should run

[hollow anvil]

glass panes make a thunk when you run into them and no other walls do

[robust nymph]

probably? no idea what you built

[last jungle]

i made coal gen

[robust nymph]

would be funny if they had a chance to shatter

[hollow anvil]

that would also be amazing

[runic acorn]

I think I will have to, it will be totally out of scale with the rest of the field though. Is going to need a big ass building

[last jungle]

that would prob cause poison-like dmg from the bleeds and stuff

[vestal mica]

big-ass building or big ass-building

[last jungle]

ass building skills

i cant build properly

[dawn path]

phew. it's been a looooong while since i was active in this community, anything new on 1.1? (i stopped playing shortly before it was announced)

[zenith pecan]

Break enough windows and you'll have the old mill look in rundown areas where every pane of glass is smashed, I still wish they would add brick walls.

[vestal mica]

no, they just wanted to bump the version number

[last jungle]

#satisfactory-experimental is prob where u should be asking this

[dawn path]

experimental?

[runic acorn]

Also I have decided to supply my main power source with sulfur, coal and nitrogen via trucks :#screenshots message

[last jungle]

i think 1.1 still in experimental cuz idk anything about 1.1

[last jungle]

content-wise

[runic acorn]

So I hope that doesn't cause any problems in the future lol

[last jungle]

yesss i made my coal power gen work

[woven estuary]

Its a simple railway system from point A to point B. I'll trying redoing the time table again and see if that fixes the issue.

[keen dagger]

Why is it knocking out my entire grid when I'm trying to reroute some wires. Not even using half of my capacity

[last jungle]

because ur prob disconnecting ur power

[keen dagger]

Yeah inside one of my buildings and its reconnected after

I shouldn't have to throw the breaker after.

Now my trains signals stopped working...

After working for like 20+ hours

Weird ass issues.

[vestal mica]

weird-ass issues or weird ass-issues?

[keen dagger]

Yes

Had to rebuild a small section of track and it started working

Already done the game. Pretty much decorating and fixing things up at this point.

[ruby estuary]

Nice 👍

[storm girder]

is there a way to automaticly get rid of excess fuel so i dont have to flush it every few minutes?

[smoky spindle]

Sorry to ask... How do I get the oil out of these? https://i.gyazo.com/58bbc653d3ed2677dde87da6790c810a.jpg
I tried sending a couple of nobelisks at them without success, and the oil extractor won't snap onto either of them, neither will pipes

[peak wasp]

So when are we actually gonna get game ownership

I am still waiting for my GOG version like Factorio got

[placid stirrup]

Burn it

[lime ermine]

Later game item

[storm girder]

i would love to just drop it in a river or something

[lime ermine]

You unlock it in tier 8

[lime ermine]

Burning it gives power

[smoky spindle]

Ah crap. Thanks

[peak wasp]

I'd love to actually own this game

And not be forced to be online

[lime ermine]

What?

I've played offline

[peak wasp]

And not forced to use a launcher that could remove my license at any time

[storm girder]

yea but what about remote locations and stuff? i dont want to build power stations everywhere just to burn fuel

[placid stirrup]

You can package it and sink it then

[tall ivy]

y'all see the release date for 1.1 annouunced? October 6 June 10th!

[lime ermine]

Not to specially make power, it'll just be a bonus and it'll get rid of the fuel

[storm girder]

thats a plan

[peak wasp]

I want actually unrevokable ownership

[vestal mica]

you have excess fuel being created at a lot of different remote locations?

[peak wasp]

I wanna throw this game on a USB and run it whenever I want no matter if I'm signed in or not

[vestal mica]

sinking fuel instead of just sending it into generators seems weird to me. free power

[hard ivy]

even having byproduct fuel is weird to me

[naive pendant]

Fuel generators fed with fuel are functionally identical to packaging and sinking fuel.

[placid stirrup]

It's not that weird. To each their own though, there are multiple solutions to the issue

[static finch]

why am i 20 hours in and just now figuring out that you can make the lifts for the belts taller and you dont have to build like 10 connected together

[storm girder]

what if im eco friendly and i dont want to burn fuel and other demonic stuff?

[vestal mica]

dude, i saw that image and was like why use 1 lift when you can use 20

haha

[static finch]

my brain hurts now and im not gonna fix it

[vestal mica]

or dudess, sorry to assume your pronouns

[atomic cobalt]

hello, where can I find community blueprints?

[static finch]

my pronouns are listed on my profile 😂

[naive pendant]

@static finch Do you know about the infinite height lift trick?

[static finch]

no

[naive pendant]

A lift can snap to a floor hole with any length of lift. So you line up two floor hole and get any height lift.

Foundation -> huge wall -> foundation. Identical floor hole locations. Snap lift.

[north tendon]

1.1 will be released on 10th of June

[static finch]

oooo thanks! also what do the blue lights mean on all of my constructors

[vestal mica]

overclocked?

[static finch]

some are yes

[vestal mica]

i think it turns blue in that case.

i can't remember. i very rarely overclock production machines

[storm girder]

anything new or its just the end of 1.1 experimental?

[lime ermine]

Blue is overclocked, red is no power, green is running fine, yellow is some error (no input mats, full output, stuff like that)

[lime ermine]

It's when 1.1 goes stable

[north tendon]

Ye

[static finch]

ahhhh ok thanks

[storm girder]

is there going to be a problem with saves made in experimental?

when transfering to stable

[vestal mica]

wouldn't hurt to back them up, but shouldn't be

[peak wasp]

Is the satisfactory console releasing along side 1.1 or later on?

[vestal mica]

no console yet

controller support is official though, I think.

[peak wasp]

Yeah it's in 1.1

So the games being prepared for console release then

Can't wait

[vestal mica]

they've said 2025. hopefully that is still reality. which will I be able to play first on my ps5, Satisfactory or GTA6?

[peak wasp]

Hmmm

Satisfactory mostly likely as gta 6 been pushed to 26

[vestal mica]

i am aware. Satisfactory hasn't been pushed... yet.

[peak wasp]

Yeah but once 1.1 is out it probably will take 3 months to work out the kinks and maybe a console I just hyped 😅

[leaden ether]

Huh... After stripping the planet of all Power Slugs unfortunate enough to let me find them, I just found out you can actually create them "synthetically" -.-

Does take some late game items though so only of use on a second playthrough of the save I guess.

[sullen gull]

I thought there was some late game items that required power shards to make as well?

[prisma thicket]

Ionized fuel for one

[leaden ether]

Oh yeah, Ionized fuel and alien power matrix

[sullen gull]

Yeah, forgot about that one.

[sullen gull]

And you slooped them all I assume? 😏

[leaden ether]

Only the latter half of them after I learned you could :D. First playthrough is an encyclopedia of learning 😄

[sullen gull]

Lol, 100%

[robust nymph]

@static finch you know lifts can be extended past minimum length, right? 😅

That screenshot is wild

[static finch]

i just figured that out earlier

after i did that with the lifts

[sly maple]

How do you do it again? Floor holes right?

[prisma thicket]

Yes, with 2 conveyor lift floor holes lined up, you can extend a conveyor lift any distance

[robust nymph]

Sure, but I meant just extending them past the absolute minimum in the first place

He did not, he just chained like 50 minimum height ones

[opaque spruce]

I've been looking at moving my save to a dedicated server but wondered is factory resource generation/build linked to the fact a user is logged in the game and everything generates or if the world is "live" as in loaded to a dedicated server but no one logged on will it just endlessly generate resources even when we are not logged in? (Dont want that as it effectively feels like cheesing the game)

Just wondered if anyone knew?

[leaden ether]

I believe it's a setting where you can idle the server if no one is logged in or not.

[opaque spruce]

Thank you 🙂

[leaden ether]

This kind of thing scares me... #screenshots message
I loaded my last save this morning and find a lot of stuff backing up in a factory. I find this rubber belt had just stopped working. Belt graphically moving (as always) but the rubber was just sitting there not moving. Deleting the belt and replacing it fixed it but... I've had a few minor oddities happen before but always chalked them up to "Oops I forgot that tiny connector belt" or whatever. Now I'm not so sure.

[prisma thicket]

You on stable or experimental?

[leaden ether]

Stable.

[prisma thicket]

Hmmm no idea then. I know there's a bug with belts/lifts and splitters/mergers on experimental, but no idea what might cause that on stable.

[leaden ether]

First time I've seen that in 600 hours. So not like common or anything but... really weird.

[latent prawn]

it is pretty infrequent, but sometimes belts and pipes just fail to register a connection to another entity when you build them it happens more frequently with pipes, but i've seen it with belts and lifts as well. more often than not, however, what actually has happened is the belt connection looped around a splitter to a different port; that isn't the same more rare occurence though

[prisma thicket]

What's the best way to figure out how many plutonium fuel rods I need to make to process a certain amount of uranium waste?

[trim vine]

Do you know what your waste output will be?

[prisma thicket]

Well I was looking at 25 NPPs, 5 Uranium Fuel rods per minute, so 250 waste/min.

[tender quarry]

are you doing normal plutonium fr recipe?

or fuel unit

[trim vine]

assuming your 250 is 100% accurate, you can make 4.444 Plutonium Fuel rods a minute

[leaden ether]

Heh yeah I get a lot of that while building 🙂 But this had been running fine all day. So something happened either in the saving or loading of the file this morning :/

[trim vine]

with 17.7778 manufactuers running

[prisma thicket]

Either is fine, I just want to know how I calculate the waste -> fuel rods

[trim vine]

side note, that 4.444 was based on fertile uranium

[prisma thicket]

Ok, now can you tell me how you got those numbers so I can do it myself if I decide to go bigger or smaller?

[trim vine]

https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production?share=1fZsu1j0UQyikIqC0PK4

let me know if that opens

it presumes having access to plastic, rubber, and aluminium ingots

as in ready to go

[small urchin]

does anyone know if we will eventually have random map gen

[trim vine]

we will not

[trim vine]

They have talked about that before, both that and terraforming, and its not what they wanted to do, they spent a good bit of time building the map, and we are meant to enjoy it as is

[pearl walrus]

Did you get the answer?

[small urchin]

that makes some sense

[pearl walrus]

Ye maps are handrcrafted

[reef basin]

they also tried RNG and weren't happy with the results, so it's not just "we don't wanna"

[prisma thicket]

Still trying to figure it out

[tender quarry]

i would recommend getting satisfactory modeler for free on steam

[trim vine]

@prisma thicket have you used that tool thing I linked you before?

[small urchin]

so is it safe to assume we shhould be getting map expansions?

[reef basin]

and SFTools are free on the internet 😛

[trim vine]

Also not so much, they have reworked existing biomes
But I have not heard of expanding the map

[pearl walrus]

Gl😉

[reef basin]

also most likely not. Definitely not second map, not much info about expanding (but not likely)

[prisma thicket]

I use tools daily, it's probably my most visited site in the past few weeks lol

[tender quarry]

ig but sometimes factories are a bit too complex and it might not lay out the factory how i want

[reef basin]

I mean, if it gives you different recipes than you want, then select the recipes you want 😛

[tender quarry]

if its oil based processing i use modeler and other ones sftools

[reef basin]

out of curiosity, what's so "bad" in Tools with oil processing?

[trim vine]

Something requires 20 plastic, it then makes an entire oil set up at 0.05% to make 5 pet coke

But, thats an easy fix with adding that as an input

[vestal mica]

how many can you get if you don't want to introduce more uranium into the system

[trim vine]

1.481 @ 5.926 manufacturers

and, still assuming 250 waste per minute is 100% on the nose

[vestal mica]

yeah, this other tool spits out 1.25 as the answer

wonder where they differ

[jovial lark]

the real satisfactory tool is google sheets 😤

[reef basin]

real satisfactorytool is satisfactorytools 😛

[tender quarry]

they are doing instant plutonium cell in particle accel

[vestal mica]

oh, i forgot when i start a new factory it doesn't turn on alts.

with alts turned on, it gets 2.2222 per minute

[trim vine]

Well, work down

250 uranium waste divided by 37.5 equals 6.6667

That means 333,335 non-fissile uranium

which is 100 plutonium pellets

which is 50 encased pellets

which is 2.5 rods with an alt or 1.6 with base

everything is wrong xD

[vestal mica]

it sends the 333 into "instant plutonium" which it sends into "plutonium fuel unit" to get 2.2222

[tender quarry]

dont do instant plutonium if you want more fuel rods

[vestal mica]

how can you get more fuel rods with the limitation of 250 waste and 0 uranium?

[hard ivy]

? it makes more rods

[tender quarry]

makes less

2.5 vs 2.22

[tender quarry]

fuel unit

[hard ivy]

it's 1.875, not 2.5

[tender quarry]

1.67 vs 1.48 (basic recipe)

[vestal mica]

can you link the build that makes 2.5?

i can't beat 2.2222 and that uses instant plutonium cell

[trim vine]

that was my napkin math following the recipes

[hard ivy]

you missed that pellets need both non-fissile and waste

[tender quarry]

wait i was looking at wrong thing

it is 1.875 yea

#screenshots message

[trim vine]

non-fissile > p-pellet > encased > p-fuel

[sudden pumice]

is this something thats common to do, or am I missing something that makes, fetching resources closer to base easier ?

shoot cant post a picture

[trim vine]

#screenshots and tag us

[sudden pumice]

basically a long conveyer (very long), goes into smelter
splitted
goes into constructor, and then storage unit

[sudden pumice]

done

[trim vine]

Its common in early game and later in the game

[sudden pumice]

ok perfect ty !

[trim vine]

you just make it look better, with foundations, or build trains or trucks

[prisma thicket]

That's a pretty common early wire and cable setup

[vestal mica]

but 2.222 using instant #screenshots message

[hollow anvil]

is there a reason why my cyberwagon only turns left

sorry i mean right

[hard ivy]

because the in game one is about as good of a vehicle as the irl one

[prisma thicket]

Because it's the cyberwagon, it's meant to be terrible.

[hollow anvil]

oh im not doubting how good it is i was just wondering if the bright minds at ficsit intended to include such a revolutionary feature

[vestal mica]

i just let the self driving function take over

[hollow anvil]

wdym terrible

[vestal mica]

and kill pedestrians

[tender quarry]

oh yea it is more but more power is used too

[prisma thicket]

It's making fun of the tesla cybertruck, and they made it the worst vehicle in the game on purpose. It eats fuel faster than any other, doesn't control well, top speed sucks.

[hollow anvil]

but why would they make fun of the cybertruck

its an amazing vehicle

who added that

[reef basin]

devs?

[hollow anvil]

make fun of the cybertruck you make fun of me and i take that personally

[vestal mica]

yeah, it's like 2 more GW consumed in the setup to make .4 more plutonium rods

[hollow anvil]

no the reaction

[reef basin]

you can hover over it to see

[prisma thicket]

👋

[hollow anvil]

why i oughta

[tender quarry]

i remember exactly why i did it with basic pellet and epc

[hollow anvil]

watch your back pal

[vestal mica]

how much does .4 plutonium rods per minute generate?

[hollow anvil]

10000MW

i think

[vestal mica]

0.4?

[hollow anvil]

yeah each one eats 0.1 per minute

[vestal mica]

so it's a net power gain to do it then

[hollow anvil]

yeah ofc

[blissful violet]

am i the only one that plays for several hours but doesnt actually make any/almost any progress? Just hanging around lol

[void gorge]

Nah I

am the same

[prisma thicket]

Nope, I'm in the same boat

[zenith pecan]

I sometimes spend ages just deciding on what to sort out next, for example, moving all the worlds bauxite to the dunes has been quite the engineering project, which results in a degree of procrastination & distraction.

Hmm, just calculated, so far I have 10,200 bauxite down in the network, only a few more mines to connect 😄

[tender quarry]

krumpps i figured out why i had it with basic recipe

[deft axle]

Started looking into some mods and realized how many old mods that the devs have just added to base game

[tender quarry]

i had a uranium waste bin so i did the basic pellet to get rid of more waste and i sunk plutonium rods anyway

[void gorge]

They were giga popular mods for a reason

[deft axle]

I don’t see many “new” mods

[ornate jacinth]

anybody seen a bug on dedicated servers when the game crashes when you press escape ?

[deft axle]

It’s honestly so cool that the devs did that

Most games too lazy and just leave the community to dev

[frozen ingot]

yup, tends to happen, popular mods tend to be a clear sign to the devs of What The People Want

[sullen gull]

Cyber truck is dumb. Real and fake. I said it.

[hollow anvil]

you insult me like that again and i swear to god you wont see the end of this day

[placid stirrup]

[sullen gull]

Hah! Shows how much you know, I won't even be looking! 🤣

[hollow anvil]

ill rip your eyes out so you dont even get the chance to look thats how much i value the cybertruck

elon musk is jesus incarnate and his brain is a temple

[sullen gull]

Yeah, I just had to say it cause I have to program a robot to spray a dumb part for it, even though we keep telling em it don't reach 😒

[sullen gull]

Now I know you've drank the 'juice' 😏

[placid stirrup]

It'll reach once the paneling falls off after a slight breeze

[sullen gull]

Can't say what the part is, but it's long and heavy, it comes off in traffic, it's killing someone for sure

[sullen gull]

And yeah, sorry, was taking a peak while the lathe ran, and didn't scroll back 🤣

[deft axle]

Genuine question, why would I use truck stations over belt highways?

[trim vine]

Rule of cool, and less building; I personally dont like trucks, and would wait for trains

But for me, I only use trains to span biomes

[small urchin]

cuz truck go beep

[trim vine]

trains go chew and I like that

[small urchin]

This

[deft axle]

No reasons to span biomes tho :(((

[small urchin]

not yet

[trim vine]

Not right now

[trim vine]

what phase/tier are you in

[deft axle]

Uhhh phase 2-3 I’m tier 6 just unlocked trains

I want to use them but no reason yet, all of my factories are within 1000M radius. In the desert

[trim vine]

in my opinion, until you hit bauxite, other than oil, you are correct and dont REALLY need to span biomes, however in phase 4, that changes a lot

[deft axle]

Ok good I was hoping it would!!

POOR POWER SLUG

[placid stirrup]

I think it's great practice to use them before you're "forced" to, so you kind of know what to expect once you begin taking on more complex projects

[frozen ingot]

forgot to save a blueprint. It was a minor change... but oh, for an undo button 🤣

[half surge]

how do i unload stuff thats in my trucking station to my tractor

[deft axle]

Make sure the mode of the station is set to Load and make sure it’s powered

[half surge]

i have did both them thing and it says press F to load cargo into tractor but when i press F nothing happens

[deft axle]

Oh it’s a bug

Jump out interact with the station and then jump back in the truck and it will work

[half surge]

oh yeah thanks it fixed it

[deft axle]

Good to know, you’re welcome!

[gloomy path]

1.1 is almost out

Let’s goooo

[neat flint]

how do i split 6 pipes to 15 buildings?

[sage wind]

Does somersloop not work for slugs?

I only got 1 shard

[zenith pecan]

Sloops usually work for slugs.

[reef basin]

build 18 buildings and do 1:3

[prisma thicket]

It needs to cycle once for the sloop to take effect, if you make more shards now they will be doubled.

[sage wind]

aw ffs

[compact nest]

Hello !

[leaden ether]

Today is just the day of oddities. One of my drone routes was not transferring anything and I just founf the drone circaling continuously above one of the platforms -.-

[loud nexus]

is there a vanilla way to remove the invisible wall when using the free camera mode?

[left totem]

me with my flex belt mod

[toxic spruce]

When do yall think the console version will release? Now that we know when 1.1 will release, and we know the console version should have been released before, its probably not that far in the future.

[sullen gull]

According to the stream before this one, the plan was to tackle console right after 1.1 was released. Date unknown.

[gritty shoal]

why is like every nuclear plant i see a pyramid

[zenith pecan]

My old one wasn't a pyramid, just a long hall: #satisfactory-experimental message

[sudden pumice]

I finished all T2 milestones, but T3 is locked. what am I missing ?

[gritty shoal]

space elevator

[swift kernel]

Hey @sullen gull, just trying to future proof this design: How many different items are needed for the final phase of the space elevator?

[sullen gull]

No pyramid here! #screenshots message

[sullen gull]

Erm, like, production items to make the parts, or space elevator parts?

[swift kernel]

Space elevator parts

[trim vine]

what phase/tier are you in right now?

[swift kernel]

I wanna make sure I have enough conveyor wall holes at the end of this

[swift kernel]

Phase 2, just wrapping up my giant truck depot

So I only need three now

But obvs, I want to be able to expand this later.

[vestal mica]

you need to make all 12 to do phase 5, but some are intermediary. only 4 actually go into the elevator at that point

[trim vine]

a lot of items are needed 😛

I would highly recommend looking up whatever items you are currently making, and see where they might be used later down the line, without spoiling too much for yourself

[swift kernel]

Okay, so it's never more than 4 at a time

That's all I needed to know

[swift kernel]

That's why I'm asking

To avoid the spoilers. The spoilers of things I've already seen a thousand times, but I keep pretending to myself that I haven't

[trim vine]

v fair, I only mean to say that even smart plating is needed throughout the entirety of the project, and it just scales up to "how much do I wanna make" to make more of the downstream stuff, which gets very expansive

[sullen gull]

P5 takes 4 parts. pasta, biochem, AI expansion, and BWDs

[vestal mica]

says 5. lists 4

[trim vine]

nat the pahsta

[swift kernel]

I don't need anything more than just the largest amount of different items I need to send to the space elevator at one time

[trim vine]

4

[sullen gull]

Yeah, my bad, had '5' on the brain

[vestal mica]

giggity

[sullen gull]

Want to know quantities of each item? lol Or would that be spoilers?

@swift kernel

[swift kernel]

I don't need to know that

I appreciate the thought

[silent burrow]

is the game able to be played offline?

[sullen gull]

Afaik, you do not need an internet connection to play single player.

I may be wrong though

[silent burrow]

I have a screenshot of the error that the game gave me when I tried to play offline but this discord channel won't let me upload it :/

[sullen gull]

Upload it in #screenshots

[silent burrow]

ok I just put it there

[sullen gull]

Make sure your 'session type' is set to 'Single-Player' under Online Settings

And did you get the game from Steam or Epic?

[reef basin]

#1038092680493801533 is for uploading them

#screenshots is just for posting cool images of bases

[sullen gull]

Ahh, ok, fair.

My fault

Also, that save maybe setup for multiplayer already? Anyhow, the official reqs say Internet Connection only required for Multiplayer.

[sage wind]

No way to get rid of those things that stand up then gas you?

[swift kernel]

Nobelisks get rid of them

I remember the update they added that. It was such a big win

[sage wind]

Ohh yes it worked - I think I had some server lag it didn't do anything at first

[leaden ether]

Just finished the last of the new electronics factory machinery. Just have to make it look nice now. I posted a picture of the STools plan vs how it looks in reality. #screenshots message
Main outputs are:
Radio Control Unit (40/m) (20/m slooped)
Crystal oscillator (40/m)
Super computer (3/m)
Assembly Director Unit (2/m)
as well as 5-10 spares of several other things just for storage/DD use.

[atomic notch]

Pretty sure i purged my world when that update came out

[primal void]

hey guys how can i copy a blueprint after i placed it on ground? (what i want to do is to skip the process that i have to go back to menu to reselect the blueprint)

[sullen gull]

Firstly, put it on a hotbar.

Second, you can hover to dismantle in bluebrint mode (press R) and then MMB to sample it.

If that's what you needed that is @primal void

[primal void]

thank you soo much the second option was the one i was looking for ❤️

[sullen gull]

But also, putting it on your hot bar, (Alt+scroll to change, there are 10 of them) and then when you are in the blueprint menu, hover over the one you want and press the number of the slot you want it in. (I.e. 5 for slot 5), can save a ton of time as well.

[smoky spindle]

I'm trying out a bus base. How much silica/caterium ingots do I need, if possibly able to compare it to steel/iron ingots?

[primal void]

i knew that but i have a mod that will copy the color of the objects as well so if i color 1 line of smelters now i can copy them with the new color, thanks

[sullen gull]

Ahhh gotcha.

Fyi, 1.1 is bringing that to vanilla 🙂

[primal void]

finally

[sullen gull]

Though, I haven't tried 'if you change the colour of something in a blueprint" sampling ....

Nope, still uses the orginal colour 😒

[primal void]

i use many different colors for each factory like this if i want to place 10 smelters in a different color that i have in my blueprint i color half then copy the colored onces and put it back

[primal void]

ahhh

[sullen gull]

Works for single sampling though.

Actually, is there a way, when making say a smelter with wall outlet BP, to get it to snap as close as they do when it's just the machine? (if that makes sense)

[primal void]

im not sure

you mean somthing other than holding CTRL?

[static finch]

What tree in the mam do you unlock the jet pack and hover pack on?

[sullen gull]

It seems that when I put just a single smelter in a BP, it changes the clearance and I end up having to nudge everyone I put down. I could be doing something wrong though

[hard ivy]

None of them

[sullen gull]

Tier 7

Not in the MAM. Through the milestones.

[static finch]

Wait really

Tier 7 seems so far away

[hard ivy]

That's the hoverpack

Jetpack is 5 or 6

And jetpack with liq biofuel is almost better than the hoverpack anyway

[sullen gull]

Oh, yeah, duh.

T5

Sorry

[static finch]

Ahh ok

I just got tier 3 conveyer belts. Massive speed improvement from tier 1

[sullen gull]

@primal void LIke so: https://discord.com/channels/370472939054956546/1377052153910398997

[vapid falcon]

is there a default hotkey to put the buildings in standby?

[sullen gull]

Nope

It's been suggested that you could just set the clock rate to .1% instead

[cyan garnet]

You can set standby in blueprints, however

[sullen gull]

Then can use CTRL+C and CTRL+V

That too

[swift kernel]

I had a vision for Project Assembly, and by god, I've executed it #screenshots message

[sullen gull]

Was just looking at that lol, right out on the edge eh? 😏 . Good pic though.

[swift kernel]

Thank you kindly. Here's a view from the other side. #screenshots message

With all my color coded silos of materials

I've always been obsessed with this island on the other side of Caterium Falls, and I've finally built something out there

[sullen gull]

I was wondering if those were just 'pylons' or if there was something more to them.

Ahh, wait, is that the 'paradise island' or whatever?

[swift kernel]

It is indeed

[sullen gull]

Noice. I too have it on my 'bucket list' of locations 🤣
