satisfactory

[prisma forge]

thought they worked like biomass burners

[dense violet]

nope. Sin wave power

[dreamy kestrel]

trains also give power back to the grid when they brake fyi

not the cause here i dont think but that sometimes explains "why is my power generation varying unpredictably" questions

[static dune]

What governs flow rate? I have enough pumps to get the water up the hill, but now i had a fuse trip twice and i only have one coal generator online with barely anything plugged into it yet. so i'm thinking water flow is an issue but idk how to make it flow fast

[dreamy kestrel]

mk1 pipes have a max flow rate of 300, mk2 600

so if youre supplying 8 generators with mk1 pipes, for example, youll need multiple pipelines

since 8 generators (at 100% clock speed) consume >300 water

[static dune]

i saw that, but when i look at the flow rate its nowhere near 300

[dense violet]

you can do some overhead images of your pipe and generator layout in #math-and-meta

really hard to trouble shoot in this channel

[dreamy kestrel]

but yeah there might be a lot of factors

[static dune]

.< i hate water in this game 😄

[dense violet]

do the images. Can show yo uteh basics

[dreamy kestrel]

if you only have 1 generator then water throughput shouldnt be an issue

[dense violet]

it's honestly very easy if you keep it simple and follow ... the rules

[dreamy kestrel]

are you sure that youre not just exceeding the generator's capacity?

1 coal powered generator doesnt produce much power

3 assemblers and an awesome sink will trip it, for example

[dense violet]

if you under clock the miner and water extractor to what only 1 gen needs it shouldn't I don't think

but yeh it's not much power

[dreamy kestrel]

fair

[static dune]

75mw is a lot more than the 30mw bioreactors were giving. im trying to trouble shoot, but i just dont understand water yet

[dense violet]

#math-and-meta , over head images

[shut stream]

You'll have to learn to love it. From what I hear fluids become more and more regularly present until they're just like ores

[dense violet]

it's often impossible to troubleshoot pipes w/o being able to look at the set up

[static dune]

working on it. sorry. wait a few 🙂

[dense violet]

no stress 🙂

it's probably a very simple issue, just don't know which of the common simple issues it is

[latent prawn]

yeah, you end up using pipes pretty much everywhere. keep your pipe networks small, simple and clean and you'll not have many problems

[thin fiber]

when is 1.1 coming to base game?

[old yarrow]

june 10 iirc

[thin fiber]

what does iirc mean

[old yarrow]

Theres a vid on yt

[thin fiber]

ah, thank you

[old yarrow]

if i remember correctly

[thin fiber]

ahh

[latent prawn]

yeah, june 10

if you can't wait, you can switch to the experimental game branch

(i don't think much will change in the next 2 days)

[dense violet]

<@&387163995947270144> weird advertising

[zenith pecan]

Same again in Ex, I reported that one as well.

[dense violet]

I think they spammed al lthe channels

[abstract heron]

what going on here?

[stone python]

theyve been here since 2021, so seems they got hacked

[dense violet]

just a spam bot. But an odd one, the account has been in this server for years apparently

[abstract heron]

oh today is my 5 years thing getting the game on steam

[pine harness]

But they've never sent a message

[stone python]

plenty of people lurk

[pine harness]

Yea

[dense violet]

huh their profile says 'discord was hacked, ignore spam' ? how odd

[twilit aspen]

anyone able to join my game and help with piping and coal factory troubleshooting?

[stone python]

#1201555265942724758

[old yarrow]

do mods work on experimental

[burnt ferry]

toy for doggo #screenshots

[stone python]

yes, but it is a case by case basis. Load up SMM and check the indicators

[old yarrow]

what indicators

[stone python]

1.1 comes out on june 10th

[burnt ferry]

thats tomorrow

[latent prawn]

the mod loader was fixed a few nights ago. i'm sure there's a bunch of mods that still need updating

[old yarrow]

oh kk

[stone python]

when you have a mod open in the SMM, look at compatibility, the rocket ship is stable, the test tube is experimental

[old yarrow]

Ohh never knew that

[stone python]

green = working, yellow = partial working, red = broken

[burnt ferry]

all three colors give x4 mult

duh... wrong game.. 🧐

[dense violet]

post some overhead images in #math-and-meta or make a post in #1038092680493801533

much faster

[twilit aspen]

thank you, literally just put more pipeline pumps and it worked

[latent prawn]

'use a pump, and if that don't work... use more pump'

[timid rune]

44 nuclear plants online (only at 97-98% eff for some weird reason) but at least it is going ok

[sturdy wind]

is the update in 24 hours or is it 48 hours? im aus so june 10 is like 10 hours away

[whole zinc]

ooo 1.1 is so close?

can coal power be used to power the coal power generator itself?

[stone python]

no, you need to jumpstart your first coal plant (the water extractors)

after it is started, it can power itself

[median frigate]

i like to keep some backup batteries charged to full and DISCONNECTED from my factory to use in emergencies like that

[dense violet]

With priority power switches you can essentially avoid even needing those but I get it

[median frigate]

oh yeah definitely, im talkin early game

[whole zinc]

aha icic thank you

[median frigate]

mostly helps to start up new plants, and if you make silly mistakes

[frosty aurora]

What does throughput mean? I've seen it thrown around but I'm not exactly sure if it's referring to something like input to output or something

[dense violet]

It’s how much you can move through a logistics system

Mk1 belts have a throughput max of 60 for example

[frosty aurora]

Ohhhh, okay okay

[median frigate]

they're 3 different sources of bottlenecks, throughput refers to the bottleneck speed inside a factory, usually

[dense violet]

it can also just reference not getting the expected throughput

like if you're having issues getting your pipe manifold moving your 540 fluid pm

you'll have a throughput issue

[median frigate]

haha after the first half of your message i was about to mention manifolds

[dense violet]

if you have a hidden bit of lower mk belt in a belt manifold, that'll also do it

[median frigate]

believe it or not i have 480 generators running on manifolds 60 generators deep (two branches each) on 4 mk2 pipes doing 500 each

NO power instability, even though # of generators and amount of fuel being made is PERFECTLY matched, even after a buncha hours

[dense violet]

yeah that's not too hard as long as you're not doing silly things with them

[median frigate]

i just had to sloop the blenders makin rocket fuels to boost it to 600 for the first few hours while waiting for everything to fill

after that i could take em out and everything worked perfectly

[dense violet]

easier to just under clock a few machines to fill

[median frigate]

i suppose, but there are only 20 blenders fueling (5 on each of 4 pipes) fueling 480 generators

it only requires slooping 4 blenders to boost each of the 4 pipes from 500 to 600 rocket fuel

[dense violet]

yeah just under clocing 1 gen on each line works well

[median frigate]

i disconected the first few of each row to help fill the pipes faster yeah

anything makes sense to save time when all you're doin is waiting lol

all together that design wasnt bad, very sinple, and honestly nuts fast to build with blueprints, but i wish i made it bigger

at 120,000 mw it'll definitely only be big enough for me to get my megabase laid out and started, i'll need to make an ionic fuel or nuclear plant or sth on top

i didnt realize how heavily those particle accelerators are used in this new update, lot of buildings with nuts power overhead

[paper wedge]

if i have a belt with 90*/m ore on it. feeding into 3 smelters using 30 each.
is there any difference or weird efficiency things to know with using 1 splitter, vs 3 splitters? I know about manifold setups, but since its only 3 smelters im ok using a single splitter with 3 track outputs right?

[frosty aurora]

9 or 90?

[dreamy kestrel]

either is fine

[paper wedge]

90 im sorry

typo

[frosty aurora]

Don't worry about it, anyways either is fine

[paper wedge]

ok cool

[dreamy kestrel]

splitters dont incur any sort of throughput loss

[paper wedge]

ty, i remember some issues with that in factorio and people having rules to using them in certain ways and specific ways to merge tracks etc

kinda fun to master but also tedious, so made me wonder if anything here like it to worry about

[pale brook]

is the update for 1.1 today or tomorrow??

[dreamy kestrel]

june 10

[shut stream]

Is there a way to set default paint color

[frosty aurora]

Yes! Press X to go into your customizer, and you'll see the Default Colors. (FICSIT Factory Swatch. etc.) Just hover and press edit to tune to your liking.

[dreamy kestrel]

you can also change which palette is used by default by certain elements

i forget how though, right click maybe?

would test if i was in-game lol

[elder apex]

its on a drop down in the item groups, such as for foundations, ramps, etc

for changing default materials for those particular items

[shut stream]

Yeah that was what I was looking for, thanks+

I'm going with a white accent blue schema

[dreamy kestrel]

no, theres a way to change the default palette used by a certain category as well

so you can specify that all newly-placed concrete foundations use palette 4 or whatever

[versed portal]

Hey yall which setting do I use to see the creatures from further away? I keep accidentally running them over before reacting and it sometimes would fling me.... which is not ideal

[naive veldt]

Hi i have a question if i understand correctly wht 1.1 in jun 10 satisfactory comming to console right or i miss some information ?

[dreamy kestrel]

nope

1.1 will come with gamepad support but not a full console release yet

thats planned for "this year"

[sullen gull]

They are referring to how you can right click on the premade swatches to set them as defaults for different items.

[maiden jacinth]

satisfactory is a relaxing game
the mechanics exist with this as a guiding philosophy in a lot of ways

[elder apex]

ah, good to know

[dense violet]

they sometimes just spawn when you get close

[dense violet]

but it would be view distance if anything else would help

[dense violet]

you need to take care with pipes? about it

and each logistic choice liek trains and trucks take practice to master

[maiden jacinth]

ironically I feel like the thing to worry about most is how easy it is to do things

temp solutions become permanent
and finding where stuff is becomes challanging

[tight ridge]

is solid steel good?

[hard ivy]

Yes

Saves both coal and iron at the cost of an extra smelting step

Saves even more iron with pure

[lavish lance]

We dont happen to know at what time the update drops tomorow?

[hard ivy]

5pm Swedish

It's a 1.1 feature

Dumps items into nearby crates instead of creating new ones

[shut stream]

How do I stop driving a tractor

I got on one without fuel and now I can't figure out how to get off of it

[leaden turret]

same key you used to get on it, I think

[lavish lance]

acceptable.

[tight ridge]

why are vehicle camera controls inverted?

[dire fox]

is 1.1 coming out tomorrow or Wednesday for the aussies

[leaden turret]

<t:1749567600:F>

^magic discord timestamp, should display in local timezone

[dire fox]

cool thanks

[lavish lance]

that realy should be in the anouncement

[hard ivy]

It's pinned on Reddit. Idk why discord is getting second class citizen treatment

[lavish lance]

i dont use reddit, reddit is stinky

[paper wedge]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/uuwHvjrEMdk
so does this really work? what if i want to go up again, but not higher than the tower, water will go up and down multiple times because this is tower exists? is there a limit/distance restriction or anythhjing

[lavish lance]

never had to do that, what worked for is to fill all pipes to trhe max before turning on production

[hard ivy]

Water towers do work to replace pumps but my advice regarding pipes is to always keep setups as simple as possible. A water tower is decidedly not that. Just use pumps...

[paper wedge]

how long does the water tower keep pressure up for

is there a limit? IMO building that tower and never thinking about it again is way simpler

[hard ivy]

Afaik there's no horizontal distance limit. But there might be on the order of several hundred meters

[abstract void]

hi new in the game here, what use could have the fluid buffer?

[paper wedge]

what if i need to go up, down and up again multiple times, will it keep pressure up throughout multiple dips and elevation increases again even if its a good bit, as long as its under the tower height?

[hard ivy]

Extra volume in closed loops helps sometimes. Other than that, none

[abstract void]

okay thanks a lot

[hard ivy]

Buffering trains stations too, forgot about that

[abstract void]

haven´t got that far but thx for the info

[wind kernel]

so i just now unlocked oil rigs and I want to confirm, if I start spamming hard drives right now can i roll the alt recipes for plastic/rubber/HOR or do I have to obtain them first?

[hard ivy]

Theoretically yes, practically I'm not sure. Fluids are wonky

[wind kernel]

i would really like to get the alt recipes now so i don't end up ripping my entire oil production apart to utilize them

if I have to have rubber/plastic in my inventory in order to roll them, i'm just gonna sloppily through together enough to make some of each

[hard ivy]

The prerequisite for being able to roll a recipe is always unlocking a milestone and/or a MAM research

You do not have to have the item in hand, just unlock it

[wind kernel]

great, thanks

[tall lantern]

if you really want to make the most of that setup you'll also need diluted packaged fuel, which you'll need packagers for

but no reason you can't just make a basic setup for now then use the alts for later setups

[hard ivy]

!wikisearch hard+drive

[fossil ice]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/index.php?search=hard+drive

[hard ivy]

The prerequisites for each recipe are listed on the wiki ^

[wind kernel]

eh, for the oil nearest to base I think i'm just gonna use the alts to make the loop that doesn't need blenders

it's still a lot more efficient than just base recipes

and i would hate to sustain off of base recipes until getting blenders OR put time into optimizing it now just to tear it down later

[tall lantern]

packagers*

don't need to wait for blenders

[wind kernel]

wait i thought the diluted recipes came from blenders

[tall lantern]

diluted fuel, yes. diluted packaged fuel, no

[wind kernel]

wait you're right, i remember now

[hard ivy]

Diluted packaged fuel uses a refinery

Diluted fuel uses a blender

[tall lantern]

also, why tear down, if it works it works

[wind kernel]

yeah i was thinking of fuel that i did to make a turbofuel generator

[maiden jacinth]

its also like a storage crate

but for fluid

[tall lantern]

except storage crates are generally useful

[maiden jacinth]

finally got coal power runnin
🤔
when should I go find hard drives

[shut stream]

Is limestone only used for concrete, i.e. is it safe to turn all limestone into concrete

[static gull]

Anyone wanna join my game? I know there is a looking for group and I have two the other one was forgotten because ir didn't show for thing but now i found it but no one wants to join

someone almost did

but they went to sleep before they joined

[maiden jacinth]

resources arent limited

turn it into concrete for now
go back if you need it for something else

or just tap a new node

[shut stream]

True, I could always just tap a new node if I need to

[frail sleet]

it's safe to turn all limestone into whatever you want, wont run out

[maiden jacinth]

unironically concrete has been such a pain for me so far
making buildings sure takes a lot of it

[static gull]

for me its easy

[frail sleet]

by that i mean: there is so much limestone per min that you can't possibly utilise more than like 50% of it, and probably won't even hit 10% unless you try

[static gull]

with concrete and building making

[void cedar]

ASAP. Alternates really make the game so much easier and help you scale to late game

[maiden jacinth]

ive been playing with dumb rules
everything has to be in a building

thats been making concrete a pain early game
now that my coal plant is running I should be able to start ramping up the concrete tho

[void cedar]

Plus you could get wet concrete which will make your issue solved

[abstract void]

rly? i just got my third Hard drive

[void cedar]

Yeah. My first time playing I didn't get any HDDs until the end and it was a pain. So many alternates would have saved me tens of hours of struggle

[abstract void]

dmn gotta colllect more then

[last jungle]

is there a way to automate gas filters?

[void cedar]

Yeah

[abstract void]

those big spider always scare the crap out of me

[last jungle]

with manufacturers or smth? cuz i dont have those

[maiden jacinth]

dont you need refiners for that to unlock

[dense violet]

look up the recipe in the codex or wiki

[void cedar]

Yeah with Manufacturers

[last jungle]

e

[void cedar]

Yeah, but it's a lifesaver

[maiden jacinth]

im def gonna get that when I can

[void cedar]

Where did you start, Fray?

[maiden jacinth]

thinking about maybe taking a scan to try and get solid steel

[maiden jacinth]

the rocky desert area

[void cedar]

There should be some good limestone nodes north of you that may help you out until the next step

Tbh I always had more concrete than I knew what to do with until I got to encased beams

But I also may have over built for it lol

[maiden jacinth]

the building rule I have is whats causing the concrete issue

[void cedar]

That being?

[maiden jacinth]

no open belts
every machine must be covered

[void cedar]

Interesting. I always put everything in buildings of concrete and used trains rather than a bus system

[maiden jacinth]

im sure that later game this just is easy to do
but early game its def a little challanging

[void cedar]

I think in my case I just overdid the early game. I built like 5 factories for each thing in the early game and just rode on those for a while

Because I was in the low tiers for a lot longer than the later ones

[reef basin]

I assume you mean "belts", not "bus"?

[void cedar]

No, a bus system is when you use belts to transport commonly used goods over a distance to a processing location. I use trains to transport most everything. I only mentioned it because they said they had no open belts

[reef basin]

no, a bus is when you have stacked belts that distribute materials to a factory and gather back products

it's a logistic tool within one factory, not a transportation tool

[void cedar]

Eh, I've seen it used to mean both, but that is what I meant

[reef basin]

it's mostly people misusing the term due to some streamers doing so

not sure why we'd need a different term for "belts" (and why we would use a word for it that is already defined to mean something else)

[maiden jacinth]

which leads to a new question

why no bus

[hard ivy]

?

[maiden jacinth]

give us the ficsit bus /s

[hard ivy]

Ah, an actual bus lol

The truck is bus sized

But can't carry 4 people I don't think

[prisma forge]

So, 1.1 releases tomorrow?

[dark thicket]

Ye

10th

[prisma forge]

Is it safe to backup the saves after updating but before opening the game?

[dark thicket]

Lets find out

[prisma forge]

As a wise man says
"Only one way to find out!"

[hard ivy]

As long as you don't overwrite your save, it should be the same before and after the update

[prisma forge]

Cuz I kinda don't have time to back up the saves since I have work and college to deal with

[hard ivy]

If you're on steam, you can just open the cloud website and download your latest save

[prisma forge]

Okay, good

[maiden jacinth]

the truck is bus sized

but think about how comical a bus would be
with a big ficsit ad on the side

[dark thicket]

A ficsit party bus

[maiden jacinth]

no

just a normal bus
parties are not a good use of pioneer time

[dark thicket]

Woot woot

[maiden jacinth]

as outlined in your contract

[dark thicket]

[rich dock]

Guys, please tell me
Has anyone else had a bug with Gastanks? For example, I had about 3000 Gastanks in a sealed system, if you can call it that. That is, empty Gastanks-> drone-> nitrogen in the forest-> pumping nitrogen into them-> drone-> base-> unpacking, etc.
I just went into the game. And there are no Gastanks. Everything is empty. I see the factory has stopped, and there is 0 nitrogen. Tell me, is this a bug or some feature of the Gastanks in the drone that can disappear?

[dense violet]

server? mods? miss applied an overflow sink? forgot to actually save and it's an old save?

[fresh wharf]

What items can the sink not consume?

[arctic cedar]

knows anyone an good base location where you find all resources exept uranium, bauxite and oil?

[dense violet]

[clever pier]

start in the rocky desert and go south and east to the cliff under the red forest. there's a lake there with coal, iron and copper and sulfur and quartz not too far away

[arctic cedar]

thanks

[clever pier]

this is the location I mean. #screenshots message

[cyan dust]

sup guys, hyped for the update but I wanted to see if you guys have some tips. i've been mentally stuck on phase 4 and it prevents me from playing cuz idk what to do , my stuff being a bowl of spaghetti bolognese isnt helping either LMAO

tbh, i've avoided using the website calculator tools, I should look into that after unblocking my mind

[dense violet]

best planner you can use honestly https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production

but best advice is just push through the spaghetti until you unlock everything. Then you can start fresh and build nice permanent factories you've planned your end goals with

[cyan garnet]

There’s definitely a difficulty spike in phase 4, especially if you didn’t fully automate everything in the earlier phases

[cyan dust]

i do feel like I rushed a bit

[hard ivy]

A lot of people are too focused on having a "base" and don't realise that they don't need to bring everything to one location

Just because you've automated something once doesn't mean you can't automate it again somewhere else

[cyan dust]

i looked at the recipe for thermal prop rockets and was like

[clever pier]

build seperate factories for each phase 4 part, physically seperate them and don't share parts between them

[cyan dust]

i do feel like i did that a bit LMAO , i also read that I should look into making factories for specific parts and stuff , which i wasnt doing i was just rebuilding each phase more or less for the stuff I needed in the same relative area

[clever pier]

that eliminates a lot of spaghetti

[dense violet]

if you embrace the spag that's easy enough to do that to phase 5

[clever pier]

i move the space elevator around so I can connect it directly into whatever part I'm currently focusing on

[cyan dust]

thing i am most hyped about are straight pipes mode. i hate the liquid factories 😭

[reef basin]

you can always just keep whatever you have and build new. There's pretty much no reason to ever rebuild something

[mild moss]

do we know a time for the release

[dense violet]

12 days from now

[mild moss]

i thought it was the 10th

[dense violet]

#announcements

[mild moss]

[unkempt shell]

That was exactly what I was looking for!! I searched for a long time, but could not find it. Thank you!

Now that 1.1 is comming up and I havent played since 0.8 I kinda want to try again.
I dont want to start a brand new world and delete everything, as I like my old builds. Is there a way to save the map but clear all progression? Like all unlocks, all research and so on?

[dense violet]

scim

create a new map and paste your world into it

if you don't start a fresh map 1.0 stuff doesn't unlock rigth

[unkempt shell]

Oh good point!!

Appreciate it

It's still through this site? https://satisfactory-calculator.com/en/interactive-map#4.25;-98042;-75487|gameLayer|

[dense violet]

yup, a number of recipes and nodes are changed though so a bunch of stuff will likely be broken or burried in terrain

[unkempt shell]

I saw some of the progress from 0.8 was broken, but after spending hundreds of hours it would be nice to keep the buildings

[near frost]

Guys I am about to play for the first time, any tips ??

[unkempt shell]

Plan BIG

[near frost]

Noted

[dense violet]

if you like sand boxes don't stress and treat all the tiers as a tutorial.

[unkempt shell]

Also, the first setup is usually poop and can be removed at a later stage, when you get better upgrades

[near frost]

Noted thanks

Dont mind the mess at first.

One question which is more fun

Get a factory plan from YT or plan my own ?

[mortal ginkgo]

Yours because you will learn and eventually get better.

[unkempt shell]

I like getting inspiration for the shell. Then fill it with my own crap

[mortal ginkgo]

First is making a good box. Second make it bit prettier. Third design it.

However getting ideas from others is totally ok

[near frost]

Ok 👍

[cyan dust]

try to plan your own. i am not the brightest but when you're done and everything clicks together and works its the best feeling ever

[near frost]

Can the factories get laggy?

I have an RX 7800XT is that good?

[dense violet]

if you ahve an odler computer or build huge thigns in one spot yes

[zenith pecan]

If you do both, keep a fire extinguisher handy! 🤣

[cyan dust]

but the question is.....why

[wanton hollow]

ofc, you post the antithesis of the game lol

your save files are NOT satisfactory

[static dune]

i'm surprised how well this game runs on my laptop with a 1070. but i hear mid > late game it can get stressful for systems

[wanton hollow]

fiscit will send you into the depths of hell if they ever come to pick you off the planet

[wanton hollow]

im running on a Igpu lol

[cyan dust]

at what hour did you say "f-- it" 😆

[wanton hollow]

i turn everything wayyyy down

[static dune]

idk what that is. An on board graphics?

[wanton hollow]

integrated yeah

[static dune]

oh dang. although i guess modern ones can be quite good. my other laptop has onboard and it's quite weak. but both of these machines are 8 years old

[wanton hollow]

mine is like barely 2

i dont have a GPU slot tho , its a mini PC

[static dune]

ah. probably more powerful than my laptop 1070 then 😄

[wanton hollow]

so i cant slap one in

i have to buy a new computer

or i build one myself

[spiral field]

exprimental or normal?

[wanton hollow]

wdym

[spiral field]

I wanna start a new world

[wanton hollow]

experimental

[spiral field]

but I dont want my world to get corrupted at the actual 1.1

[dense violet]

well experimental is normal tomorrow

[static dune]

can't you get external cards? although i'd presume they're expensive

[wanton hollow]

what could possibly go wrong

[dense violet]

why would it?

[wanton hollow]

its not getting the external card that is the issue

[spiral field]

I dont know much about file works

[wanton hollow]

its the fact i have no slot for the external card

[static dune]

oh, still needs a slot :/ darn

[dense violet]

it'll be fine

[hidden sparrow]

I'll be real i forgot when i started to make this mess

[cyan dust]

sounds about right

[wanton hollow]

it will be fine

the team for this game is quite thorough

[hidden sparrow]

Its not THAT bad...

A little bad ok buuuut i can still mostly remember where things are

[wanton hollow]

bro

your savefile can cause a threadripper to rip apart

what tier are you at right now>?

[hidden sparrow]

Last one

[spiral field]

Im so frocking pumped up for the elevators

its going to be so fun

[hidden sparrow]

Only missing the last 256 ai thingies and im done with the game

[wanton hollow]

ggs

[spiral field]

ggs

[wanton hollow]

when is it coming?

theres been alot of mods for it

[spiral field]

tomorrowww

[cyan dust]

missing as in you lost the production line in that mess?

[hidden sparrow]

Nah as in "i want to make a comicly large factory that will produce 200 ai things per minutes which will at minimum take me 1k hours" type of missing

U thought that it was a mess rn ? Buddy, im not even started

[cyan dust]

💀

[hidden sparrow]

Oh and im still missing like 400 reactors or smth

[cyan dust]

that's if the game and your pc can handle it

[hidden sparrow]

Oh it wont

The save is already starting to randomly crash

[wanton hollow]

i dont think anyone pc can handle it bro

[hidden sparrow]

But i do not care enough to stop

[wanton hollow]

at that point, hand it to the military

all they need to do to shut down another countries whole electronics system is just run that file T-T

[cyan dust]

satisfactory save file zip bomb

[shell grove]

https://imgur.com/a/ru1u3yU

is it normal for windows to be this shiny/reflective? was hoping they'd be a little more see-through

[wanton hollow]

get used to disappoitment ig

[hidden sparrow]

Yea this save file costed me like 650 euros because of how many pc upgrades i had to get to continue playing

[shell grove]

sigh... sad, that's some really cloudy/misty glass

[wanton hollow]

lmao

[wanton hollow]

complain to FISCIT for some glass cleaner

likely it wont be approved tho

[shell grove]

I mean I would try... but I'm kinda scared of what ADA would do

I quite upset her when I was researching things too fast in the MAM and she wasn't able to talk all her talk

[wanton hollow]

strongly recommended not to fk around and not to find out

ADA is scary....

i dont think its even human

[shell grove]

pretty sure ADA and the entity behind the SAM Ore would either kill eachother or kill everyone else together

[fluid sapphire]

Any idea what time the patch hits tomorrow?

[wanton hollow]

delayed.

[dense violet]

#announcements

[fluid sapphire]

Nothing there

[wanton hollow]

are they gonna release another new experimental?

after they make this current one the official?

[dense violet]

theres's "1.1 when"

watch a video or two

[somber quartz]

is it really

[dense violet]

not until they have a new update they want to work on

[fluid sapphire]

It's the old video, I don't believe they mentioned a time, only date, I already saw the video the day it was put out

[somber quartz]

how do u know its delayed

[dense violet]

then rip

[wanton hollow]

its a joke about how every single time there is a much awaited thing or event that happens, its going to be delayed

[spiral field]

grasslands or forest for a fresh beginning?

Im open to questions lol

[fluid sapphire]

Turn mobs to retaliate and go desert 😃

[hard ivy]

I'd say rocky desert. But between those 2, forest. Grasslands suck

[empty path]

i just finished the game for the first time and started on rocky desert, i think it is too easy of a start, im gona start a new one tomorrow with the new version, i still don't know where to start but i want a challenge

[spiral field]

I hate deserts, so lifeless

can someone make a tierlist of starter places? no lie

[wanton hollow]

desert

[wanton hollow]

there is already

[spiral field]

then? whats the scond

[wanton hollow]

i would choose forest second

the creepy crawlies are there tho

[spiral field]

erm

the noises...

[plucky plank]

is there a time for when 1.1comes out

[sweet granite]

Hello everyone. I have set up a train system. There are 3 stations. I want to load at the first and second stations and unload at the third station. My train loads at the first station but not at the second station. I couldn't find the reason.

[zenith pecan]

@green fiber While I was trying to dress up that ridiculous bauxite refinery of mine, I decided to install the horizontal pumps you'd suggested as a precautionary measure, as a hedge against another colossal fold-up, the system still feels so damned fragile it's unreal.

[fluid sapphire]

#satisfactory-experimental message

[wanton hollow]

assume it comes out next year

[wanton hollow]

wdym?

[green fiber]

did you manage to look at the save i sent you back?

[zenith pecan]

I was too slow, I wasn't at the pc when you sent it 😛 , I did say in the thread 😄

[green fiber]

ah, ill send it there again real quick

[wanton hollow]

also, i find that even though the max flow of a pipe is 600, i never seem to get there

[plucky plank]

any tips for starting in the desert?

[wanton hollow]

run

and rush for rebar gun

you are going to need it lol

[latent hearth]

rq how do I nudge less distance?

[green fiber]

it requires special care.
If you feed something with a mk 2 at max flow, try to have the pipes that merge into it and split from it be mk 1 (if you dont need to merge or split away more than 300/min)

Also, try to have as even of a split if possible while you are near the flow limit

[wanton hollow]

crtl

[latent hearth]

it doesn't work for me

[zenith pecan]

Got it, it made sense to take every precaution to try and avoid a lockup.

[wanton hollow]

hm

[wanton hollow]

lets say

[sweet granite]

Hello everyone. I have set up a train system. There are 3 stations. I want to load from the first and second stations and unload from the third station. My train loads at the first station but not at the second station. I couldn't find the reason. Can you help me?

[zenith pecan]

@green fiber you mentioned also attaching the pumps to the water loops as well right?

[wanton hollow]

i have 20 refineries and its all taking 30 m3 each, how do i ensure all of it gets all of the 600m3 flow?

[green fiber]

i put pumps on everything

[wanton hollow]

how do i split it?

normally i just do manifold

[zenith pecan]

Fair enough, the place now has a global off switch so I can turn the entire place off at once 😄 , I'll sort the 20 pumps for water once I'm done with painting 😄

[green fiber]

make the pipes into each refinery mk 1, connect the mk 2 pipe that carries 600/min as close to the middle of the manifold if possible.
and if you manifold.... dont manifold from below if possible

[wanton hollow]

wdym from below?

[green fiber]

have the manifold below the machines and move a pipe up into each machine individually

[zenith pecan]

I should look at my tiny refinery, it has 0 pumps atm.

[wanton hollow]

oh

[plucky plank]

i bought the game yesterday but ive got most of the mechanics down and how to automate and manage separation in different strength ore nodes, shoukd i start in desert? or go for another

[green fiber]

many like doing that but the pipes dont like it

[wanton hollow]

how about from above?

[green fiber]

above is fine

[wanton hollow]

try all of them 😄

[green fiber]

reason is gravity

if you do it from below, you fight gravity all the way.
if you do it from above, gravity works with you all the way

[wanton hollow]

pump if i have enough H head it should be fine no?

[cyan dust]

i assume 2nd one is set to load mode?

[green fiber]

nope unfortunately.
the height isnt the issue, it has to do with pipes being full

[wanton hollow]

might be because its totally full

[wanton hollow]

thats confusing lol

[sweet granite]

yes

[wanton hollow]

i normally pipe it from the side

[green fiber]

you can have as much head lift as you want but if the pipes arent always all full you get none of the head lift.

Head lift is only moved between full pipes

[wanton hollow]

oh ic

[cyan dust]

wait i remember, maybe the station is set backwards?

[sweet granite]

no it is set to normal

[cyan dust]

i remember having a problem with trains tho idk what i did

[wanton hollow]

wait so lets say i have 2 oil sources, each 300mm3 , i pipe both using mk1 into a junction with mk2 output, then i pip with horizontal pump?

[green fiber]

the gravity tends to pull fluids back out of pipes, but in a manifold fluid usually wants to have the same level in every pipe.
So that tends to pull down the fluid level of all pipes.
Its a big and complex topic.

[wanton hollow]

does satisfactory even simulate that lol

[green fiber]

you can put a pump down if you want, makes it easier to monitor headlift

[wanton hollow]

i want to pipe it 40m up

so do i hit 45m, then pipe it downwards?

[green fiber]

it simulates head lift gain from gravity and also the "cost".
and yes, it tries to have all pipes be on an equal level

[wanton hollow]

damn

[green fiber]

if you want to move a single pipe up 40m then thats fine to do normally

just use enough pumps

[wanton hollow]

so my 600mm3 has to be full at all times

[green fiber]

it only becomes an issue if you start splitting stuff up with many junctions

[wanton hollow]

wdym?

[gray ermine]

1.1 tomorrow right?

[cyan dust]

are you trying to fill the same cart or an empty one behind the first one?

[wanton hollow]

i was doing a manifold on equal level , with the 20 refinery thing and my max flow in mk2 was 597

[green fiber]

Im not sure what you mean there tbh

[wanton hollow]

i was trying so hard to hit that holy 600mm

[green fiber]

that has to do with the junctions

[wanton hollow]

600m3

[green fiber]

the junctions near your refineries

[wanton hollow]

hm?

so i shouldnt have junctions near my refinerie?

[green fiber]

no, it comes down to how and where you put your pipe input

you cant avoid using junctions, so you have to use them with care

[wanton hollow]

me confused

[green fiber]

thats where the "try to split the mk 2 as equal as possible if you can" comes in

give me a moment here ok?

[wanton hollow]

me need diagram to understand T-T

[green fiber]

i wouldnt know what to draw here

[wanton hollow]

i cant post pics here?

[green fiber]

nope, make a #1038092680493801533 thread if you want and ping me

[wanton hollow]

ok

[molten light]

You could call this fluidfactory

[static dune]

so 1 smelter puts out iron which i split into 2 lots of rods, 1 of those is made into screws. then i go to feed it into an assembler and see the rod input would be filled 2-3x quicker than the screws one. should i be mathing this (i'm not many hours in, i just got coal power) or just let the belts fill up with overflow?

[cyan garnet]

You’re gonna have a much better time if you do the math. Match inputs to outputs

[static dune]

;_;

[cyan garnet]

I mean, you don’t have to, but as the game progresses you’re gonna have a harder and harder time building complex parts if you haven’t worked out how to math it

[wanton hollow]

guys

[static dune]

very true 😦

[true juniper]

guy

[wanton hollow]

anyone here just maxes out the resource exploitation and then pipes whatever they dont need into a SINK?

[fluid sapphire]

use tools to help, I like Satisfactory Tools production planner

[static dune]

ooh, thanks!

[true juniper]

For things that you're gonna need later on anyway, sure

[fluid sapphire]

the further in you get, the more complex production chains become, for me there is no way i could manage all that without the help 😄

[wanton hollow]

i need spreadsheets and diagrams lol

[fluid sapphire]

Satisfactory Tools diagrams are fantastic, spreadsheets would still be too much manual labor for me

[wanton hollow]

fr

[fluid sapphire]

i have my entire chain mapped in there up to and including tier 8, just waiting for the patch to drop to start building hehhehh

[wanton hollow]

dang

[prime crane]

1 more day until 1.1 ts crazy

[last ocean]

Hello. I am trying to make a fuel power plant. I have all the items, but to build the blueprint I need more inventory space. I am not really familiar with dimensional depots and haven't explored them. I have finished Tier 8. Is it possible to utilize dimensional depots in my use-case?

[mystic island]

Finally started making plastic and rubber

[wanton hollow]

yes

[wanton hollow]

cool , make smokeless powder with the purple stuff and start blasting

[mystic island]

How nice of the developers to make the perfect ratios of two rubber, two plastic and one fuel per petroleum node.

[wanton hollow]

fr

[mystic island]

Time to turn this rich, lustrous planet into a 100% efficiency mega factory.

Inject plastic in the oceans here we go.

[wanton hollow]

overclock them and the resource heavy ones can give you 20 refineryies worth, rubber and plastic split evenly

[elder apex]

yes, depots will basically increase your inventory size for the build gun, as well as make your life so much more convenient for everything

[south sinew]

DDs are great and make building way easier

[last ocean]

Okay! Thanks. I will explore Dimensional Depots

[scarlet kettle]

how do you connect ur machines to power? i always have a bunch of cable 🍝

[cyan garnet]

You made it all the way to tier 8 without unlocking dimensional depots? Rough

You’re gonna be kicking yourself once you have them set up

[last ocean]

Haha. I had a lot of hours before the 1.0 release. I was too lazy to see what dimensional depots do. I didn't think the developers would give us this much convenience lol

[cyan garnet]

How many Mercer spheres are you sitting on then?

[last ocean]

I researched as much as I could. Now I have production amplifiers unlocked, and have I think the last 2 uploading speed and stack size upgrades left

[mystic island]

Do you also know about the cool S?

[last ocean]

What is the "cool S"?

[scarlet kettle]

how many fuel generators should i go with for rocket fuel?

[mystic island]

Sommersloops.

[scarlet kettle]

and can i use rocket fuel to power drones?

[vagrant oar]

we have a 25x25 of fuel gens running

[last ocean]

I just got to know about them today lmao. Thankfully I try to not use power shards thus I have a ton of slugs now.

[cyan garnet]

Rocket fuel is good for drones

[rich dock]

Guys, does anyone have a scheme for automated wiring? 50 per minute

[naive pendant]

@rich dock All default recipes with 50/minute production is good.

[white dawn]

Can just plug your targets into sftools: https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production?share=fwiXJ99jcX5VK9sWjMdK (will have to manually switch to the tab once the page loads)

[lavish moon]

only joined the server to complain about not being able to climb into the sleeping compartments in the HUB-6 despite being able to do it by just crouching in HUB-5
0/10 literally unplayable

[naive pendant]

@lavish moon Pioneer’s butt got too big.

[rich dock]

Sorry mate. 500
I miss clicked
I just don't want to build this shit with my hands 😭😭
It will be too large. I need this for Assembly Director System

[naive pendant]

500/minute doesn’t make sense to do. Just build smaller and let it run longer.

[rich dock]

I hoped to build this fast and don't wait long😔

So, thank a lot for helping guys

[naive pendant]

The game gets a lot lot lot slower later on. Need to be comfortable with things taking a while.

Usually you automate something then go explore the map while it automatically does stuff. That’s the game loop.

[vestal mica]

just multiply everything by 10 from the build for 50 then. i'm sure building ~1000 constructors making iron wire will be worth the time savings

[rich dock]

Oh. Ye. A lot

[vestal mica]

OYAL

[silent aurora]

How much power you need? Or willing to dedicate as gens?

[vagrant zodiac]

Do i pick 6 inventory slots or caterium wire recipe

[rich dock]

Inv

[rich dock]

Yes but, bottled

[night glen]

do we know the time release for the patch

[hard ivy]

3 pm UTC

[cyan dust]

5pm Swedish time I think?

[hard ivy]

it's the 3rd or 4th time I'm typing this lol

[night glen]

its because you are awsome

[static dune]

ive unlocked the transport + station but not used it yet. When should it be used? I've found ore 600m away from my base and see no problem conveyoring that back to base on belts

i guess if you find lots of nodes in the same area far away it's useful?

[reef basin]

which one do you want more? pick that or flip a coin

[fresh wharf]

Is there a way to make excess fluid go into the sink?

[empty path]

you can package it and then sink it

[hard ivy]

package it

or convert it into another solid and sink that

[wanton hollow]

you can also use mods

[hard ivy]

or use it for something

[gaunt tulip]

@void gorge - Any answer to this question?

[rapid wren]

who thought it was a good idea for mk4 belt upgrade to build thickness downward, clipping into literally everything.

as well as being wider, so it clips down and to the side into all machines, lifts, splitters, etc.

[void gorge]

Think I've been vocal about it on the last couple dev streams, no? :O Almost guaranteed but now I'm second guessing myself

Anyway, starting 13:00 Swedish, running for 4h!

I'll make proper Socials posts in an hour back home

[rugged remnant]

whats the latest on 1.1? ran into someone who also plays satisfactory by chance and told me it was releasing tomorrow

[gritty sleet]

It's releasing tomorrow.

[rugged remnant]

where can i see that? #announcements is old

[cyan dust]

#announcements message

[white dawn]

The most recent post in there is a video about the release date: #announcements message

(which is not the post that Felix linked to)

[rugged remnant]

ah i thought there was something more recent

[dark timber]

@remote beacon

[cyan dust]

oh i thought you meant whats in the uppdate

[rugged remnant]

ah i watched both

is that the latest then? its from march lol

[rich dock]

It s useful for 1+ km

[cyan garnet]

1.1 has been in experimental since March. That’s what’s getting the mainline release tomorrow

[hexed flume]

Hello!

There is an opinion that the localization of the game is carried out with the help of the community.
How can I participate?

[molten light]

Satisfactory train station

[spice patio]

Read #welcome ?

[fresh wharf]

Thanks

[hexed flume]

Thank you!
I read it and submitted the application.

[gaunt tulip]

Thanks. I have updated my Reddit Post (which you can view if you haven't already).
👉 LINK: https://www.reddit.com/r/SatisfactoryGame/comments/1l6krsu/psa_version_11_release_to_live_stable_branch_on/

[lucid pagoda]

why does satisfactory tools show the limit of water and how did they get that number 😭

[spice patio]

Just largest number the specific language can easily support.

[gaunt tulip]

BTW, I viewed your June 3rd, 2025 Livestream last week and made my usual consolidation post. During that Livestream, based on clips by @leaden turret, I did not see you state the start time of the livestream only that there was going to be a livestream and the Version 1.1 Release time.
View LINK: https://www.reddit.com/r/SatisfactoryGame/comments/1l6oahw/satisfactory_developer_qa_06032025/

[spice patio]

Yeah, start time was never said, neither was release time.

[leaden turret]

launch time of game was mentioned

[spice patio]

Sorry, that was mentioned, in swedish local...

Still no direct UTC times told, ever...

[gaunt tulip]

The launch time of Version 1.1 was stated, but NOT the start of the Livestream occurring before that, unless I missed that.

[abstract heron]

Do we get a video this Friday

[void gorge]

Gotcha, my miss then! Sorry folks!!

Thank you for covering Reddit as usual @gaunt tulip, all our common platforms should now be notified!

[urban root]

Always very thorough, quick and concise. This community is lucky to have you in it.

[rotund sentinel]

I find it really hard to keep focused/motivated, any tips

[void gorge]

For real

[spice patio]

Please start including UTC times in there too.
As "Swedish time" has two meanings, you are currently at CEST, not "normal" CES.

You cannot expect people around the world to know when EU switches between summer and winter times.

[void gorge]

That's exactly why I'm sending "Swedish" times, so ppl who toss it into google automatically get the one correct today

[spice patio]

Doesn't work that way because of that summer/winter time.
UTC doesn't change, but the offset Sweden has from UTC changes twice a year.

[void gorge]

This works

[spice patio]

And depending exactly how you ask google or like to convert the time, it can get it right or wrong.

[void gorge]

But I'll go back and edit stuff

[urban root]

Like a competitive eater. One bite at a time. If you need to make an elevator part. Pick one and work backwards (this is where the game happens) it's normal to have to rebuild a supporting production line because you need more than your making.

[static dune]

atm i just produce plates, etc into containers and also have smelters/constructors producing items to make into more complex items. does building buildings get done automatically at some point? if so, what tier? I'm gonna reference factorio here and their bot network

[spice patio]

Mostly around when one country has changed time, but another hasn't yet.
US and EU change between summer and winter times at different times.

[void gorge]

There is

Zero

Risk for that in June

[rotund sentinel]

thats how I play already, I just find it really hard to keep the motivation to make said parts to begin with

[abstract heron]

Hi do we get A 1.1 video of release tmr and is there a Friday video?

[leaden turret]

no patch notes video

[spice patio]

Yes, but doing it right all the time would be good idea anyways.
Converting local to UTC and UTC to local is easy.
Converting anything to anything is not.
For CSS to do the conversion to UTC in the posts makes it so much easier for anyone else to convert to their local, any time.

[void gorge]

Maybe!

[abstract heron]

Like a trailer

Also hi Mikael how’s life

[void gorge]

Got it, got it

UTC from now

[void gorge]

Stressful as fuck

[abstract heron]

Why what happened

[leaden turret]

aerosmith reference with Love in an ElevADA, perhaps?

[abstract heron]

Is @leaden turret being annoying 😂

[leaden turret]

June 3rd, 2025 Livestream
Q&A: Is Mikael having a good day?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QC3bG_34zmk

[abstract heron]

Mikael should bring former css snutt or jace to stream as a guest

[spice patio]

Also, some countries don't do summer time at all and are always at same offset from UTC year around.

[leaden turret]

@void gorge might want to use discord timestamps in the #announcements post so it displays in people's local timezones

[ancient sky]

Hear me out... putting lizzard doggo's in hypertubes

[abstract heron]

@void gorge what time is realse stream going to happen and what time will 1.1 update be hitting stable

[spice patio]

That is another option too, which I personally dislike at least as the only time listed.
UTC + that would be very good.

[leaden turret]

Lizard Doggo Hypertube Artillery Cannon

[spice patio]

That was the content of the recent #announcements?

[abstract heron]

Oh okay

13:00 Swedish time is what my time

Probably all when I sleep

[spice patio]

Which I was complaining only containing Swedish/Central European Summer Time time, as just "Swedish time".
And not also UTC for easier conversions to everyones local times and unambiquity around the year.

[spice patio]

11:00 UTC, which you then have to convert to your time zone, whatever it is.

[leaden turret]

<t:1749553200:R>

[abstract heron]

7am my time

11am utc might be

7am for update aswell

I’ll be sleeping

Probably when I wake up it will be there

[spice patio]

So you live in UTC-4? So EDT?

[abstract heron]

I am in EST

It’s 2:37pm for me atm

[spice patio]

EST is only during winter.
EDT is when summer time is in effect.

EST is UTC-5.
EDT is UTC-4.

[abstract heron]

Idk I am half awake but I am on summer time

[spice patio]

This is exactly why using UTC is so important, as people keep using the winter time variant timezone codes even during summer so often.
But in spring and fall it is real pain to try to determine which they actually mean, when you don't know the specific countrys switch schedule.

[frozen ingot]

UTC best TC

[spice patio]

But basically "EST" is Eastern Standard Time, when summer time isn't in effect.
"EDT" is Eastern Daylight Time, same area when summer time is in effect.
Which have those different offsets from UTC.

[abstract heron]

Yes sun goes down like Nearing 9pm for me now

[reef basin]

or just https://everytimezone.com/s/43a537d9

[clear aspen]

I’m normally in UTC but I’m in UEP

[midnight fog]

not sure if I follow but isnt 1.1 already out?

[spice patio]

And if I had asked for Google or like to convert xx:xx ET or EST to my local time, when that source time was actually in EDT, I would have gotten wrong time off by one hour.

Google at least used to always consider ET as EST equivalent, and not autoswitch between EST and EDT based on current summer time status.

[midnight fog]

I think that was experimental

[dusk mist]

I bought satisfactory 2019 march 22 , early access at Epic store. Is there possibility to transfer the game to steam ? But I guess not :? Kinda want to try to play multiplayer too 😄 always solo. Is there diffrences for online joining steam or epic ?

[frozen ingot]

it's the exact same game, no way to transfer it from epic to steam

[spice patio]

And for crossplay between Steam and Epic owners, everyone needs to use Epic Online Services anyways.

With ingame login to Epic account for Steam owners.

[frozen ingot]

oh really?

😮

[spice patio]

SteamPlay is Steam owners only closed ecosystem.

[abstract heron]

So it might be there when I wake up tmr

[spice patio]

EOS used to allow for full crossplay without that login either, but newer API version needs that ingame login since 1.0.

[dusk mist]

Thanks for the clarification. I guess it's better to stick with Epic

[spice patio]

SteamPlay MP has only been supported since 1.0, it was always EOS before that.

[hollow vector]

amazing

[neon dragon]

is there a "faster" way to grab all the resources out of a Portable Miner ?

[cyan garnet]

Build automated miners?

[leaden turret]

#1201555265942724758

[neon dragon]

i dont know what kind of answers i expected. thats on me.

[leaden turret]

you could maybe see if dismantling them was quicker than going up to them one by one

[cyan garnet]

They are deliberately tedious to deal with in order to incentivize automation. It is an automation game, after all

[neon dragon]

you cant dismantle portable miners

[cyan garnet]

Same deal w biomass collection

[wheat reef]

Is there a way to disable the experimental label?

[leaden turret]

wait until tomorrow

[hard ivy]

play on stable

[wheat reef]

official 1.1 release?

[leaden turret]

yup

[wheat reef]

yay

[slate gyro]

Ok, I’m new to oil producing, and have downtime while I’m at work. Anyone willing to talk me through the basics?

So far I have 6 pumps (forget the quality) and they pump into 8 refineries, is that not effecient enough or can I go larger?

[frozen ingot]

i would encourage you to just experiment, the game does a good job of giving you all relevant numbers

first thing i usually do is make a jet pack and package fuel, cos it's so good for exploring, but it depends on where you are at

you may want to focus on fuel power, or producing plastic/rubber first

usually you can get enough out of one oil node for a few refineries worth of production though

if overclocked, that is

[slate gyro]

I got 4 producing rubber and 4 going to plastic. Was seeing that it was backing up and shutting my pumps off. Was just curious, I’m at work so experiment time is limited lol. And my friend is researching everything under the sun and I’m behind on building everything. I’m trying to get it set up to set and forget in a way

[frozen ingot]

with oil refining there is usually a byproduct to deal with

would recommend using satisfactorytools.com to crunch the numbers for you

if the byproduct, e.g. heavy oil residue or polymer resin backs up, it'll stop all production

[dusk mist]

Well depends what are you aimin for 😉 Like at this save -- I have 1 pump that feeds 7 ref to make plastic, and residue to make fuel for power plant.
That oil pump generates 200 m3 overclocked , Then got 2 oil pumps that generates 600m3 output for 12 refin , that make plastic, rubber , fuel , and splits to turbo fuel , generating some power plants -- well dependin on your goal

[frozen ingot]

once done properly though you're right, you can set it and forget it. If the production line is stable, it'll just keep going as long as there is power and adequate sinking/storage etc

an oil pump would usually be either 150/300/600 fully overclocked, for impure/normal/pure

just to nitpick 😛 😄 😊

[slate gyro]

Got any pics? I’d love to see the setup. I’m at work and on light duty so I am just doing numbers and getting some inspiration for what my setup will be. It sounds like I can add more and still be able to sustain it. 8 refineries to 6 pumps seemed light.

[frozen ingot]

but yeah it all depends on your goal. With oil it's generally down to:

1. fuel power (and packaging fuel for jetpack, if you want that)
2. producing plastic and rubber

[peak wasp]

The next update they should make a rocket launcher with rocket fuel

[slate gyro]

I was hoping to do both off all 6 lol. So far I’m slowly filling 3 industrial storages with HOR to pump over to the fuel factory

[prime nexus]

hey guys quick question, i dont think it even needs a qna post - does overfeeding water to my refineries have any downsides other than my water extractors not operating at 100%?

[cyan garnet]

You should consider thinking about your builds in terms of resources used per minute instead of number of machines

Because the amount of resources used will change with different recipes

[dusk mist]

Yea I can send screenshot of first part of refines setup with 200 oil pump 🙂 some overcloked stuff some downclock so it would work 100% 😄

[cyan garnet]

Just asking “is X refineries enough” can’t be answered directly without also considering the recipes and other parts of the production chain, not to mention over/underclocking

[midnight fog]

no downside, except for some power spikes

[frozen ingot]

i generally prefer to pick one node for one purpose and max it out

and yeah, it's all about items/min rather than number of buildings

arguably... 🙂

[dusk mist]

Yea I do not overbuild I make sure everything is running at 100% it takes that much resources it makes that amount, other buildings take only the amount made and so on 🙂 no overfill

I have question 😄 few days ago on my newest save I got infinity walking bug 😄 how to fix that

[slate gyro]

My problem is I under build lol

[neon dragon]

interesting, i have items around drop pods show as an item, that it is actually not
i just picked up aluminum sheets, but they were electro rods on the floor XD

[dusk mist]

I DM ya with a screenshot 🙂 of basic build 😄 of the oil

[broken jasper]

Hi guys, please lead me, where I should report the bugs?
I found the way to dupe everything in the game.
I was excited to play, but this bug kills any desire to optimise my factory 😦

[neon dragon]

I encountered a bug, how do I report it?
For bugs related to gameplay etc, go to https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/

[sharp yoke]

Greetings fellow SatisFites. I am hoping someong might point me to a really useful "Trains Tutorial" or a best practices video on trains. I am trying to understand whats the best approach for the building of a train system.

[broken jasper]

Yeah, I just find same bug in their tracker.
And it lasts more than six month.
doh

[latent prawn]

probably the most comprehensive one that i've seen is by 'toaster gaming' over on youtube

[dusk mist]

Simple from me 😄 use hidden raod tracks through out the map as train tracks 🙂 Do simple roundabouts 🙂 effective simple 😄 and casual player friendly

[latent prawn]

i've found laying them on the bare ground doesn't work so well when you want 2 tracks to run parallel

[dusk mist]

Hmmm maybe you can try checking out Gaming_with_Doc youtube channel 🙂 he gives out nice tips

[frigid dome]

Hi. Can someone help me out - me and my friend have a world with over 400 hours , one day he couldnt join to it and we didnt change anything. My other friend tried to join it and it worked so i send the first friend my save just to see if i could join on the same file and i could not. We tried the same world but a realy old save with under 200 hours in it and that one worked fine. Also tried reinstalling the game. I realy dont want to start from 0 when 1.1 comes out

[charred sentinel]

Is there a way to rotate a Pipe Junction around the X-axis without it being attached to a pipe? Rotating them on the Z-axis is easy.

[neon dragon]

probably want to put this in https://discord.com/channels/370472939054956546/1038092680493801533

[frigid dome]

oh thanks, i joined this serves just a minute ago, will do so

[river island]

does anyone have a timestamp for when 1.1 releases exactly

[frigid dome]

i have 14 Hours till work so i hope its before that xD

[vital elk]

15:00 UTC

[river island]

thanks

[lapis crest]

How do i pick which fuel my flippin jetpack uses?!

[empty path]

click the cog wheel on the jetpack

to select the preferred fuel

[sharp sentinel]

Gang, real talk. Am i going to want a whole new save tomorrow, or to use the new things to make my current one amazeballs?

[swift goblet]

Is this the place to say ? whatever update there was today, my game crashes on startup now!

[dreamy kestrel]

Using mods?

[swift goblet]

vanilla

actually, I am vanilla...however, there are mods attached now that I think of it. I am not going through the mod manager at all. Using steam.

gonna try a reinstall

[frigid dome]

i am going to go for old save with new things

[ashen hatch]

Do we know at what time 1.1 goes live?

[empty path]

4pm cest i believe

[ashen hatch]

😔

[empty path]

think ill start a new save going 🙂 don't think theres anything new that would impact starting only when 1.1 drops

is there a patch list somewhere yet of the new stuff?

[ashen hatch]

https://youtu.be/Ty7GdZvCETo

[empty path]

thanks

[chrome crescent]

Will it be satisfactory with version 1.1? And will there be cross playform?

[swift goblet]

question...I am playing this game yet again...UGH! are any of the mods available, useful? or is pure vanilla better than ever?

[empty path]

i can't play without "Efficiency Checker" mod lol, but be aware once you use that....it's hard to not use it :c

[ashen hatch]

I really hoped that it would release in 40 minutes

[empty path]

outside of that i don't like mods

[swift goblet]

@empty path what is it for?

[empty path]

you legit have a hand tool that looks like the object scanner but when u point at belts/Pipes it shows how much items its injected, the limit throughput on the belt and how much it is required for the output

i use it mainly to know exactly how many items are coming out of belts etc to avoid math mistakes

[ashen hatch]

your gonna love 1.1 then

[empty path]

yeah but the thing on 1.1 is not as good as this mod...this u just carry it on your hand point at belts and know what u need to know, from my understanding 1.1 u need to actuall place the thing that counts stuff moving on belts and even needs to "warm up" etc which is weird

[chrome crescent]

Will it be satisfactory on console with version 1.1? And will there be cross platform?

[empty path]

with the mod is way faster

[ashen hatch]

No it will be Fortnite

[stone bridge]

do we know anything about the time 1.1 will be realeasing?

[ashen hatch]

we believe

[stone bridge]

lets prey and belive to the slug we get it then

[ashen hatch]

I secretly hope it releases in 40 minutes

[stone bridge]

Ha what a joker

[ashen hatch]

I got a lot of pipes to take care of and i dont want to do it without straight mode and neither do i want to wait until tomorrow

[supple mica]

why is my blueprints not working, it say file not found & it wont let me save a new blueprint, it sometimes crash, Can anybody help me with that?

[stone bridge]

i have a tall building and i am bored to go up and down... am waiting for the elevators....

[empty path]

ok just checked everything coming and yeah i can start a new playtrough already, won't be missing anything yet in early spaghetti phase

[stone bridge]

wait a moment.... are we saying that 1.1 comes out in 23 ish hours...........

[empty path]

think ill start on northern forest this time coz i hate myself xd

[ashen hatch]

Where did you get the information for release time?

[empty path]

think i saw somewhere but now i can't find it? maybe someone said it and got stuck in my head lol

could be earlier, could be later

[ashen hatch]

Well lets hope your wrong and we get it in 30 minutes🙏

[supple mica]

?

[ashen hatch]

Not the place to ask we are all just gamers

[empty path]

never been around when an update hits, only played v0.3 and now 1.0 for the past month

so i have no reference, but we can still play until it updates right?

[supple mica]

gamers that play satisfactory that comes across bugs, yeah this is the right place

[ashen hatch]

I dont think that anyone will be able to help you sadly

Try questions and help instead

[stone bridge]

for me here the update comes at 11pm, and i have to wake up early the next day at around 4, unforchunatly i will have to miss it

[ashen hatch]

Yeah there are no servers or anything you can play as long as you want

[mystic island]

Oooh boy. Just unlocked fuel. Liquid biofuel is amazing.

Though I can already see me wasting hours repurposing my coal-powered tractors to start using packaged fuel.

I don't know if it's worth it man. I'll probably just expand somewhere else lmao

[empty path]

i never touched liquid biofuel, went straight to fuel and turbo fuel

[steel sluice]

It's awesome for the jetpack

[empty path]

is it better than turbo fuel? o.o

[mystic island]

I'd say so.

[steel sluice]

Depends who you ask, but I like it more. It has less thrust to put you in the air quickly and ascend but you can hover for ages before it runs out.

[mystic island]

It's the best fuel for air uptime and gets you higher than turbofuel iirc

[empty path]

interesting, i just assumed it would be worse than regular fuel so never bothered

[dreamy kestrel]

The only jetpack fuels worth using are liquid biofuel and ionized

Rocket fuel is a decent substitute for ionized before you get it, but you can also just make a hypertube cannon blueprint instead

[urban root]

Be a man and build a rail corkscrew all the way up the building exterior.

[mystic island]

Ehhh. Rocket fuel is good though. Ionized is late game iirc

[gusty skiff]

as good as any jetpack fuel is whats better for mobility is hypertube cannons

[empty path]

didn't bother with ionized on my last save, im gona mess way more with everything this new save since i want to go for a "conquer the whole map" 😄

[mystic island]

Oh I'm still in my first save.

[dreamy kestrel]

Yeah that's the thing, if you just wanna go up vertically fast you can make a quick hypertube cannon blueprint with biomass gens that launches you vertically

[empty path]

then theres me that never used one coz i rather use my trains to take me to the other side of the map haha

[dreamy kestrel]

(Or a power augmenter if you prefer)

[mystic island]

I figured I won't bother with aesthetic factories. Just basic foundations and get to the end of the story.

Then I'll start a new save and really spend my time on doing pretty facs.

[gusty skiff]

they are good until you softlock yourself

[empty path]

thats what i did on this save for 1.0 coz i wanted to know what was there since i didnt play since 0.3, so now im playing for reals if that makes sense

[mystic island]

It also hurts a bit not having friends to start a coop save

[empty path]

my factory doesnt look super bad, but there is so much hidden spaghetti under the floor haha ( like the cable management behind the pc)

i never played satisfactory coop and i doubt my efficiency paranoid ass would tolerate it lol

[frail sleet]

I view liquid biofuel as an alternative to rocket fuel with the current balance, and even then it's good to carry and use both.

some would say no, it's an alternative to turbofuel - or even that it's worse than turbofuel, depending on how highly you rate air control, boost power and longevity. But it's very good.

and regular fuel is not 😛

[abstract void]

is it worth using compacted coal?

[reef basin]

depends what do you mean by "worth"

it's a power source/vehicle fuel like any other

[hard ivy]

for what?

[abstract void]

i have 3 coal mines and 1 sulfur mine

[reef basin]

do you want more power and have extra sulfur? why not

[empty path]

Sulfur is a bit limited so theres that, but theres plenty of stuff that gives compacted coal as byproduct later on, rly depends on what you need

[abstract void]

hmmm, sulfur ain´t a must yet for me

i think i´m going to safe the sufur for something ese in the future

[dreamy kestrel]

fwiw sulfur is basically only used for power and vehicle fuel

so you dont need to worry too much about saving it

(there are a couple alts that use it in various capacities but most of these are small quantites)

the main exception is if you really like leached recipes

[abstract void]

what are those?

just bought the game like 4 days ago so

[dreamy kestrel]

Alternate ways of processing iron/copper/caterium ore

[abstract void]

oooh get it

[dreamy kestrel]

You make sulfuric acid and get better rates, but it's pretty comparable to pure recipes which just take water instead of sulfur

[empty path]

basically adding sulfuric accid to a raw mat to get more ingots out of it

[dreamy kestrel]

The advantage of leached recipes is that they produce a ton of ingots per machine

Pure recipes are similarly efficient in terms of resources but require a lot more machines (hence power)

But the sulfuric acid uses extra machines to make in the first place, so.... mreh

[empty path]

i prefer going the pure ones

[abstract void]

oooh okay okay

[empty path]

simpler lol

[dreamy kestrel]

There are a couple other alts that use sulfur, either directly or indirectly, but these are typically very small quantities

[pearl kelp]

Is there any way to get foundries closer to each other, trying to create a blueprint but their hard clearance seems insanely wide comapred to their actual model

[dreamy kestrel]

Super state computers use batteries for example, but combined with classic batteries you can make 10 supercomputers from 90 sulfur

So not really a super significant cost

Or turbo diamonds uses sulfur (turbofuel) to make diamonds but again in very small amounts

[abstract void]

so, for the plalce where i´m at i think using sulfur to make compacted coal could sllow down alll the process

[empty path]

are you planning to make compacted coal to make a bigger Coal power plant?

[abstract void]

that was the main idea, yes

[empty path]

id sayy go for it, once you get to fuel, if you need those nodes back you can always halt your coal power plant which becomes obsolete

up to you 🙂

[abstract void]

okay okay thx

and for last, i should build over water right?

[empty path]

with a proper Turbo Fuel setup you can easily get 40+ GW once you unlock fuel generators, you won't need those coal power plants anymore

[dreamy kestrel]

Makes it easier

Flat space to work with that's close to extractors

You can build wherever you want but over water is very simple

[abstract void]

hmm, i think i´m gonna star using fundations a lot more haha

[lime ermine]

Try holding control while building them, it snaps then to the sides of each other

[ashen hatch]

Its not out yet right?

I was away past hour

Or more

[frail sleet]

it's on experimental

[ashen hatch]

Alr

[frail sleet]

nothing is rly gonna change between now and later basically

[ashen hatch]

Is it just as stable?

Does it auto switch to stable when it drops in a couple hours?

[frail sleet]

they might do a fix or two in the morning, but they just pushed the last week/s of work today

i dunno about steam branch switching, have not had any issues with it though

[ashen hatch]

So i probably wont have to deal with save game version issues or something

because i really dont wanna do that

[timber shoal]

how do i stay in the air for 30 minutes? (for the achievement)

[ashen hatch]

Lots of hypertubes maybe

[empty path]

any time u spend not on the ground it accumulates

[timber shoal]

so just constantly use jetpacks and hypertubes

[cyan garnet]

If you switch to experimental now that means you’ll be on 1.1. When it officially drops tomorrow it will still be 1.1

[empty path]

i got that before jetpacks and hoverpack coz of constant slide jumping xD

[timber shoal]

is there a way to revert back to 1.0 when 1.1 drops? i have a save file for 1.0 and 1.1 will probably break a bunch of mods

[cyan garnet]

No

You’ll have to wait for mods to be updated for 1.1 (or turn them off)

[timber shoal]

so is my save is completely screwed?

[hard ivy]

no. don't update

[cyan garnet]

No

[timber shoal]

how do i not update? steam will force me to update

[cyan garnet]

Make a backup of your save and don’t update

[timber shoal]

how do i backup my save

[hard ivy]

run steam in offline mode? idk, I never had to do that. I just know it's possible. try googling

[cyan garnet]

#faq message

[timber shoal]

offline mode isn't an option cause its a multiplayer save

[cyan garnet]

A quick google suggests it is possible to turn off auto updates for individual games in your library

[timber shoal]

i checked the local filles for satisfactory and i cant find my save

[potent ether]

Can I get someone's graph for tubo power being built within the blue crator? As about to start it

[hard ivy]

i'm sorry but did you read the FAQ?

[timber shoal]

i did, im trying to find the file location but i cant find it

[hard ivy]

it doesn't say anything about satisfactory game files

just paste %LOCALAPPDATA%\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames in the file explorer address bar

[mystic island]

You may have to enable "show hidden files"

[hard ivy]

or press WIN+R and paste there

that should work regardless of hidden files (though the first should too I think)

[mystic island]

Go to C, then users, find your user, then appdata.

[timber shoal]

how do i do that

[maiden jacinth]

its crazy that portable miners have the fastest potential mining rate

[timber shoal]

ok i think i figured it out

the saves are under my steam id in the SaveGames folder right

[hard ivy]

just press WIN+R and paste there

[finite saddle]

is there a way to pull up a graph of the total power within a base or do i have to manually check the generators?

[hard ivy]

a generator shows everything that's connected to it

[timber shoal]

i figured it out

the saves are under my steam id in the SaveGames folder right
