satisfactory

[hushed root]

can someone explain me how miners and ore nodes work, my understanding was that impure, normal and pure nodes can output 30, 60 and 120 resources respectively, but i put a mk1 miner on a impure node and overclocked it to 200% and the node is providing 60 resources per minute

[leaden ether]

I'm running into an interesting issue when trying to create a fully automated high tech factory. In short, I need a LOT of high tech items to build it. Especially trigons and time cubes for Mk6 belts due to it needing HUGE amounts of raw materials. Luckily I had a bunch saved up from my hand fed micro factories when doing phase 5. But if doing a full start from scratch... I can see that being a much bigger roadblock, requiring a bit of annoyance in having to make a smaller high tech factory to build the larger one.

[mossy rock]

200% of 30 is... 60...

[leaden ether]

Sounds like you fully understand it 🙂

[hushed root]

i know, but i shouldn't be able to do that right..

[mossy rock]

???

[naive prism]

for me it was so I could sit on my bed and play early game casually 🤷‍♀️

[dense violet]

if you make a miner mine 2x as fast you get 2x the ore

[mossy rock]

do what

[hushed root]

what's the point of nodes having purity classes if i can just circumvent them with power shards

[mossy rock]

you cant

[dense violet]

you're still limited by belt speeds, and it takes shards and more power.

[leaden ether]

Because that 60/m normal node can do 120 with shards and so on. They still retain their levels all the way up

[mossy rock]

the point is you can still use crappy nodes later in the game

like when u need 500 iron per min its just an impure node

a little more than an impure but about the same

[hushed root]

okay, understood

thank you for the explanations <3

[dense violet]

for most of the way up the tiers your real miner limit will be belt speed. Except for impure nodes, often it'll be less than your fastest belt

[spice stirrup]

can the output from a truck station be used to load to the space elevator for stage needed items?

[mossy rock]

yea

[dense violet]

if you can connect the belt, why not?

[leaden ether]

Just now I am belting up 4800 coal and I'm having to use 3 pure 1 normal and two impure to get it all in a relatively small area.

[spice stirrup]

ill have to setup a smart/programmable splitter as i have a few things coming to that station. thanks

[dense violet]

and a sink

[shut stream]

If you overclock at 200% that's 2×30 (base) = 60

[shut stream]

If you had put that on a normal purity miner you'd get 120 ore/minute...

[spice stirrup]

and where do i find a sink?

[dense violet]

you build an awesome sink

[mossy rock]

its a tier

[dense violet]

in the special section of thebuild menu

[spice stirrup]

oh, i have the awesome sink, but why do i need an awesome sink to put things in the SE?

[mossy rock]

when u have smart spliters u want one going to overflow so items still flow even if it gets jammed ig

i disagree cause u could be getting rid of important items but some people beleive it to be a necesity

[spice stirrup]

ahh ok i get it.

[dense violet]

well that's what happens when you mix items. There's nothing to 'disagree' with, you need a sink for mixed belts to work on delivery like that

[mossy rock]

u just need overflow storage u dont need a whole sink

[shut stream]

What happens when the storage fills up?

[mossy rock]

it shouldent if u make sure everything works

[dense violet]

it breaks xD

[mossy rock]

dont get more stuff than u need then it wont fill up

[shut stream]

Then by that logic you shouldn't have overflow in the first place

[mossy rock]

alr

[dreamy kestrel]

Are you just manually putting machines on standby when youre not actively using them?

[mossy rock]

???

[dense violet]

the only way to avoid this sort of thing is to not have a mixed belt
but even in that case eventually your production line will back up if you're not sinking production

[leaden ether]

Depends on the case, in come cases you don't care of the machines just stop working till you empty the storage, other cases it's critical that they never stop working and you need to use a sink to absorb the overflow.

[mossy rock]

i make sure all my stuff is 100% efficient.

[shut stream]

Exactly, my statement was intended to point out the hole in the logic

[dense violet]

resources are infinite in the game so either you'll sink items and not have a paused factory, or you don't sink items and the factories will be paused and still not making those items you could have sunk

[dreamy kestrel]

thats not what im saying

[dense violet]

blackcat has some hot takes

[dreamy kestrel]

say that youre taking, idk, stators off of a sushi belt to make motors

and then your motor storage fills up

[mossy rock]

well yea u put a sink at the very end of the line

[dreamy kestrel]

then your stators would back up

[mossy rock]

why would u make extra stators than u need

[latent prawn]

if you're main production continuously runs and goes to sinks, not only does it generate a lot of sink points but it also allows you to plan power use, detect factory problems, etc a bit easier

[shut stream]

Cause you never know when you'll need extra stators

[dreamy kestrel]

even if youre making exactly as many stators as necessary for motor production

if your motor storage fills up then the input will back up

[mossy rock]

at the very end of the line

you put a sink

[shut stream]

What if a new recipe uses stators?

[mossy rock]

u make more?

[dreamy kestrel]

quote:

u just need overflow storage u dont need a whole sink

[shut stream]

Why not already be making more

[dreamy kestrel]

so you both need a sink and dont need a sink?

[mossy rock]

cause then your grid isnt perfectly flat

[dreamy kestrel]

fwiw i agree that you should have a sink at the end of any sushi belt

[shut stream]

Okay and who cares if it isn't flat?

[dreamy kestrel]

(with rare exceptions like packager loops)

[mossy rock]

me

[shut stream]

Seems illogical to not utilize extra resources available to you

[dreamy kestrel]

overproducing stators is pretty useless fwiw

theyre only used as an intermediary material in some recipes

[dense violet]

if the sushi belt isn't being delivered by vehicles once it's stablised you can remove the sink though

[mossy rock]

like extra stators? just make more motors atp

[shut stream]

Overproduction of anything can be solved by sinks

[shut stream]

Extra iron, extra resources, etc

[dreamy kestrel]

this is true if youre also sinking overflow production

[mossy rock]

overproduction of anything can be solved by not overroducing anything

[dreamy kestrel]

if not then you can potentially get a backup

[dense violet]

yeah the final step somewhere has to be sunk

[shut stream]

Overproduction gives you a buffer and backup

[dense violet]

gotta have it continuous

[mossy rock]

i mean if youve got enough lying around to make extra stators who says there isnt enough to make more motors, a way more important ingredient

[shut stream]

What if you haven't discovered motors or w/e yet

[mossy rock]

y u makin stators before you get motors

[dreamy kestrel]

then how are you making stators

[shut stream]

Oh wait they unlock at the same time

[mossy rock]

yea

[dreamy kestrel]

regardless, if youre still early game you should not be worrying about future proofing your production lines

especially early game

[shut stream]

I definitely am

[dreamy kestrel]

if you really need to scale up without rebuilding, you can throw in some power shards and upgrade the belts

[mossy rock]

i tear down my entire early game factory after i build first coal power plant

[shut stream]

My entire factory design is focused around future proofing

[dreamy kestrel]

then youre being inefficient

[mossy rock]

mine whole idea is build more if u need more

[dreamy kestrel]

nothing wrong with that if thats how you like to play

[mossy rock]

waste of power 0:

[latent prawn]

a lot of intermediate components in the game used to have limited use in building things. now they're just parts that should only move on belts in factories

[shut stream]

Not inefficient, it's preparedness

[dreamy kestrel]

literally what are you going to use those extra stators on

ECRs? are you going to build a nuclear plant on this site?

[mossy rock]

waste of power

[dreamy kestrel]

like what are you "prepared" for

[mystic island]

Don't be like me. I built a store and automated wiring fac only to make a motor factory somewhere else without importing.

[shut stream]

Sink them for coupons

[mossy rock]

just turn them into turbo motors

they sink for way more

[shut stream]

Then yeah, do that

My factory has a single industrial storage per part and then sinks the rest

[latent prawn]

as like one of the last items to make you unlock in the game, lol

[mystic island]

Hey. Is there a website that can alter my save file to destroy everything and put the materials in crates?

[shut stream]

The industrial storage and sinks are designed to stick out so that they can be fed to the next process easily

[mystic island]

I feel lazy doing it by hand.

[mossy rock]

so lets say u were making 15 supa computas per min, pretty normal amount, would u make extra computers or any of the other parts for no reaon just in case u need more

[frail sleet]

SCIM

[latent prawn]

satisfactory-calculator.com

[mossy rock]

yup, satisfactory calculator

[dreamy kestrel]

not sure computers are a great example here since making some extra computers is actually valuable

[leaden ether]

Heh yeah always upcycle if you can, after a while sinking things like plats or frames becomes worthless. EIther use them to make more of something else or underclock you machines so you are not making any excess at all.

[dreamy kestrel]

as theyre a building material in addition to a production component

stators meanwhile are useless outside the production line

[shut stream]

Yes, unless I'm using the component resources elsewhere

[dreamy kestrel]

i usually end up outputting both computers and supercomputers from the same factory

[mossy rock]

i feel like computers are a think u should have a lot of by the time your making 15 supa computas per min

[dreamy kestrel]

(and often AI limiters/HSCs)

[mossy rock]

ok in that scenario sure, but what abt the rest of the parts

[old yarrow]

Where can I find the personell elevator? I searched it also didnt pop up

[boreal musk]

hey guys

quick question im building a modular engine factory and i just saw that from my rubber refiniries i will also have left over Heavy oil residue. Any help to get rid of it or should i just make it into Petroleum Coke?

[boreal musk]

1. turn into fuel for power
2. turn into coke for power or sink

[worn parrot]

got it thanks alot!

[dense violet]

It’s a great source of points early on

[worn parrot]

in working on phase 3 of the elevator

what do you think

[dense violet]

Good points? Simpler to just expand your coal station if you need more power and it’s probably better practice to keep power and factory systems split

[reef basin]

Not confirmed

[gritty sleet]

Where can I get that song from the 1.1 trailer? Is it part of the original OST?

[stray jasper]

Listed on Xbox store console release date. I posted screen shot on screen shots tap

#screenshots message

[leaden turret]

trailer music typically isn't part of the OST

[gritty sleet]

Is it in the game, maybe for the boombox?

[leaden turret]

ask on next dev stream 🤷‍♂️

[quartz totem]

should i get this game

[gritty sleet]

Yes

[quartz totem]

and is there a point of doing second playthroughs

[gritty sleet]

Yes

Especially if your first playthrough was several years ago

But you can try stuff you didn't try the first time, etc

[quartz totem]

why would soneone do one

[gritty sleet]

Do what?

[quartz totem]

a second play

[gritty sleet]

If you finished doing everything you want to do, but want to keep playing and start from scratch, I guess

[quartz totem]

and how many hours would it take me to finish in

it

like for someone who plays for hours at a time

[gritty sleet]

Depends on what you want to do tbh. I'm at almost 1000 hours.

[cyan garnet]

100-150 hours for first playthrough is typical

[quartz totem]

i have one more question

[sharp aspen]

my first playthrough was an absolutely unoptimized mess of kilometres of spaghetti and floating platforms

[quartz totem]

how often are the updates and how many more do they think they plan one doing

[sharp aspen]

not very but like atp it's not rlly content and more of optimization/qol updates imo

[cyan garnet]

1.0 came out last fall. 1.1 came out today. No word on how many more are planned

[sharp aspen]

but the qol is massive :)

[hollow vector]

hoping for many to come

[quartz totem]

what is that

[cyan garnet]

The game is likely to be under active development for a while to come yet

[sharp aspen]

[quartz totem]

will there be a 2.0

[reef basin]

Who knows

[dense violet]

It’s a logistical problem solving sandbox.

You play until you’ve run out of fun ideas to try

[rich condor]

imagine if we get future tiers that lets us do space exploration to other planets

[cyan garnet]

The game has been a big success for the studio, but they have not made any formal announcement about how many more versions are specifically planned

[rich condor]

would be like a massive update

[gritty sleet]

I hope they do an expansion, so I can throw money at them again

[cyan garnet]

Everything we know is in #announcements

[gritty sleet]

Like what Factorio did with Space Age

[rich condor]

ooo

that would be good

plus alot of content to dig myself in for days

[gritty sleet]

It would be cool if there was a lava biome we had to "mine" a special resource from, but only by using a lava extractor to pump lava through pipes to be processed. Not sure what else could be added to make it more-interesting though...

[fresh wharf]

Theres PROBABLY some industrial use to lava

[real field]

HELP!!!! I AM STUCK IN A HYPERTUBE LOOP

Those gifs don't work in #satisfactory , prevents spam from what I understand.

hmm Cloud Quality setting right arrow doesn't work, only left arrow, and you can only choose ultra for it by ussing the ultra preset.

[hollow hill]

Loaded into 1.0 world in 1.1 server after upgrading, and the respawn menu is stuck, even after I relaunch game and server

like, i can do stuff in game, but the respawn gui is blocking me from viewing anything

[dense violet]

Running mods?

[hollow hill]

Nope

[quick barn]

Controller support feeling real good. So hyped for console releases!

Can't wait to buy this game a 3rd time 🤣

[hollow hill]

stupid question but also is there endgame content

[hollow hill]

thsi is weird i can hear myself building and wacking stuff with bug zapper but the respawn ui is still covering

[ivory condor]

not like other games unfortunately, no infinite research or resource sinks for factory beyond the awesome link, factorio and foundry have better endgame content mechanics atm

But its possible this could improve with future dlc, etc

[balmy jolt]

can anyone gift me satisfactory

[hard ivy]

#rules

[ivory condor]

indeed....

[last jackal]

The endgame is probably covering the entire map with factories.

[vague jewel]

mouse/look sensitivity

[hard ivy]

You can finish the game with resources from 2 biomes

[last jackal]

Which isn't the "end game" they are asking for.

Sure. Afk for several weeks and you can probably finish it with just 1 biome tbh.

[hard ivy]

No and no. It doesn't take that many resources to just finish the game. Just don't overbuild.

And the reason it's 2 biomes is that no single biome has all the resource types (at least not that I could find)

[elder apex]

you are forgetting the awesome shop, you could easily pick up items there that you can't get in your single biome challenge

[ivory condor]

It would probably go against the spirit of the game to actually implement "end game", as other factory building games have it.

Though I think it would be fun to have objectives to continue to send resources into the space elevator, this is a factory building game and I would like other objectives besides running things into awesome sink to get more points and coupons

[last jackal]

Eh, the arbitary goal of X/ppm for Y resource always exists ig.

Not all games need an end-game anyway.

[hard ivy]

I wish they did because the current post-endgame is a joke. Ficsonium that's way too expensive to ever be worth it? Ionized fuel that's a net negative in terms of power compared to the rocket fuel it's made of? Matrices that only become worth it after 0.5 TW?

[ivory condor]

The problem with this game is that unlike other factory building games that do have endings, they also have end-game content past that, this game however basically doesn't have it, meaning even though the factory most grow, we aren't exactly given any reasons to do it.

I'm hoping the devs eventually give something, they have already said 1.1 isn't the end, so I want to remain hopeful that end game content might eventually come at some point

[last jackal]

That doesn't necessarily make anything bad though.

"Not having a post game" isn't a bad thing.

[ivory condor]

Not bad no, but boring once you finish the elevator shipments definitely

[last jackal]

Then at that point it is simply looking into your own projects.

[ivory condor]

But I suppose its what you consider bad, some might consider the game becoming boring once you send up the last elevator shipment, no real reason for the factory most grow after that

[hard ivy]

I don't have an issue with the lack of a practical incentive to do anything after phase 5. My issue is that there's no real reason to do anything.

[ivory condor]

I can put this into contrest to factorio, where you do have reason for the factory most grow past end game, because it actually has end game content, whereas this game simply put does not

[last jackal]

There are a lot of games that are like that though. Finish the "goal" set by the game. Then you are free to do whatever you want to the game in however way you want. If you can't make end game goals for yourself... then just make a new save or play something else?

[hard ivy]

The only thing you can do is build ridiculous factories. Which is fine for items, but if you want power, none of the endgame options are useful. It's all rocket fuel, and maybe uranium, both phase 4 power sources

[ivory condor]

Well yes, and the lack of having no real reason makes the game boring once your finished supplying the elevator

But this is a problem all games that don't have end game content have, satisfactory is simply another example of this

[boreal musk]

you mean post game content

[ivory condor]

The endgame options for power are another problem though, sure they are really bad and not worth using. I'm still not sure what the devs were thinking making them all so bad

[hard ivy]

I tried asking for a reason a few times and all I got was radio silence and this: #satisfactory message

Which is not a good look tbh

[reef basin]

the fact you don't see the appeal doesn't mean nobody does

[hard ivy]

Just because it's not utterly useless garbage doesn't mean it couldn't be better

[quartz totem]

i feel like i could get to endgame in 2 days if i tried hard enough

[cursive crane]

Speedrun record is a lot quicker than that lol

[quartz totem]

not even like speed running it

i mean lik just normally playing the game

its so simple

[hard ivy]

Wow, NMG is just over 8 hours

[quartz totem]

is that the fastest speed run?

[cursive crane]

Whats package%?

[hard ivy]

NMG is "no major glitches"

[cursive crane]

Cuz thats 17m lol

[hard ivy]

Phase 1

Phase 5 is any%

With glitches, it's 2.5 hours

[cursive crane]

Yea 8h11m set 3 days ago

[quartz totem]

how do ppl put hundreds of hours in the game

[hard ivy]

Max nuclear takes a few hundred

[cursive crane]

Creative building. Stop by reddit or #screenshots

[quartz totem]

is that required to beat the game

[cursive crane]

And yea. Im working on a 12k ish iron/m build just in the grassy plains. That alone is going to take me a hundred or so hours

And thats just one starting area.
Also thats not counting idle time.

[quartz totem]

?

[cursive crane]

ish.

You could probably get by on fuel if you use all the oil right but late game machines get pretty hungry. Nuclear just becomes the better option

[quartz totem]

man it is so hard to find a game that you can pour hundreds of hours into with a good replay ability

[cursive crane]

Congrats you found one

[hard ivy]

Modded Minecraft

[quartz totem]

idk abt the replay ability yet

[quartz totem]

too much work

[hard ivy]

I have 1700 hours in Satisfactory across like 10 saves

[quartz totem]

but not a bad idea

[hard ivy]

Just install a launcher and a modpack made by someone else

[quartz totem]

what is there to do atp

[hard ivy]

I do max nuclear

3rd time now

[lucid pagoda]

whats the shortest path for a hypertube from grassy plains to the dunes? is there a cave perchance

[quartz totem]

are all world the same

[cursive crane]

Modded anything really. Survival genres full of it. Conan, ark, 7d7d [procedural generation ftw] icarus [roguelike runs]

As for satisfactory, you can really benefit from starting over a few times and trying diff starting areas. The world is the same, just very large

[boreal musk]

1 giant map with 4 starter location to choose from

[quartz totem]

i love rougelikes

[cursive crane]

Not that reaches all the way, if you are willing to go pretty vertical shortest way would probably be over redbamboo/jungle area.

@lucid pagoda ^

[lucid pagoda]

yea, ive been trynna decide between goin over or makin an oil plant in the crater and having a split on that tube since they added intersections

[cursive crane]

#screenshots message

[boreal musk]

or just go over void

[cursive crane]

Yea my favorite route is east though. Bit longer but better view. Always build a hypertube network from grassy to the blue crater. So shouldnt be too bad to continue that to the swamp>dunes

[lucid pagoda]

yea, and swamps will be a good stop later game for nuclear productions

[cursive crane]

Ig kinda depends too, if you want to build in a central area of the map or if your main base will be in grassy

[rapid wren]

would it be realistically possible to make satisfactory basements in this game? by somehow having the visuals for the earth be removed by some method or when building a certain way.
it's not an issue building below the map, but you would have issues with seeing the grass and rocks when taking an elevator down below ground right.

[boreal musk]

theres some trick to go underground for bases

[rapid wren]

yeah i know, that is easy, not an issue.

[zenith pecan]

Not much of a trick, just clip there and build.

[lucid pagoda]

i usually dont have a main base realistically, i have a factory for each phase, im starting a new one soon for T 5 and 6 so ill prolly just do a kind of network with stops around it

[rapid wren]

but you want an elevator, and that would clip through the ground visually

[rapid wren]

i adressed that, i know, the building part is very easy, but then you see the earth still, and you could not make a staircase that looks nice from above.

[cursive crane]

No map editing as of yet. Its always possible modding may have some way but probably not

Dont think he means clipping through anything but actually building down into the ground. Unfortunately not that type of game

[boreal musk]

u can just use train that clipped to the underground

[rapid wren]

again, i know, it's easy to build underground, the issue is the collision and visuals of the ground every time you wanna go below.

[zenith pecan]

My underground structures are enclosed, and surface access is via shaft.

[rapid wren]

yeah that's the only somewhat satisfactory way to go between right. some hypertube?

[urban root]

Build teleporters

[zenith pecan]

In my old save I did have a staircase going there, but I haven't checked if that's still possible.

[rapid wren]

would be cool having a basement floor you could see from the first floor, or from the outside perhaps, so if ther was a trick to make the ground seethrough and non-collision in a certain area.

elevators and stairs etc.

[boreal musk]

trains doesnt care about collision (except trains to trains collision ofc) and visually speaking its all up to how creative you are

[zenith pecan]

Here's my old stairway to the underworld #design-and-architecture message , no idea if I can do it post 1.0

[rapid wren]

really cool spot and build, so there is at least one place that works 😄

[zenith pecan]

I tested elevators in experimental, you can't transition the ground layer in either direction, you get bumped from the lift car and get stuck in the shaft.

[rapid wren]

yeah.

[spare turret]

Anyone available for questions regarding drones? Trying to figure them out.

[rapid wren]

ofcourse it's not possible right now in this game, but can it be possible with the games engine? to add some building piece of tool that makes the ground non-collision and seethrough?

ofcourse some people would use it to remove the whole world for sure 😄 but it is a sandbox after all

[cursive crane]

Anythings possible if you are willing to toss enough dev time at it Lol

Doesnt make it probable itll happen

[zenith pecan]

Here's the test from my tunnels to the surface #satisfactory-experimental message , quite a fall.

[rapid wren]

@hard magnet could you imagine a way this would be possible? in any engine at all?

excluding ofcourse a reshapable world like enshrouded or valheim.

[zenith pecan]

Hypertubes have been my default access, and floor holes through an 8x4 metal grip foundation at the transition spot, not brilliant but I do what I can.

[cursive crane]

Are you really pinging another games community manager to ask if its possible in a game thats not theirs? Lol

[rapid wren]

oh wait, i forgot smiffe was the valheim dev 😄

[zenith pecan]

This is my default access to the tunnels #screenshots message

[rapid wren]

i did not even know smiffe was in this discord, i just thought to tag him automatically 😄

and it worked out

[cursive crane]

Regardless, no clipping and seeing through terraign goes back years. Even MC has a way of doing it. But its not usually something a team would implement on purpose. Quite the opposite usually

[zenith pecan]

The change to UE5 made going under the map marginally more difficult, the old aim a tube directly at the ground stopped working and you could no longer freely pass through the ground from below, not that it stopped me 🤷‍♂️

I'm the tunnel rat afterall, I'm going to build where I like!

[rapid wren]

They should avoid it happening by accident, but by design and intention it is fine in a PVE sandbox game.

[rapid wren]

imagine that glass floor in a world where you have removed the ground visually, so you can see the whole basement factory from the first floor, so cool

[zenith pecan]

The glass floor alas, is only to show the belts I have running underneath, but I get what you mean.

[hollow hill]

so is the respawn UI not going away when joining a dedicated server in 1.1 a bug

or a glitch on mine

[cursive crane]

Its usually actively prevented.
Imagine paying a team thousands of development hours to build and create a beautiful map, then some guy coming along like.. "can you just turn it all into glass so I can see through it?"

What you want is an empty testing environment not an official tool

[winged glen]

need to port forward 8888 tcp and 7777 tcp/udp now

[crimson jewel]

left my PC on all day to craft automated wiring only to come back with it half done as it only stacks to 50 😭

[rapid wren]

turn tiny sections of the ground underneath my factory invisible, i have already built over it, that art is already gone from my world.

[winged glen]

do the hypertube junctions feel a bit unreliable at speed? or is this just because its on a server?

[hollow hill]

thought i did

[winged glen]

make sure to restart the server after doing it

[rapid wren]

i definitely only want an official tool, or mod, that removes collision and visuals from the ground.

[zenith pecan]

I see what it means by english UK only being 60% haha, some of the spellings are still wrong.

[lucid pagoda]

What’s yalls opinion on decorative splitters as shown in #screenshots ? I use it to hide crossing

[zenith pecan]

I'm not really a fan personally, it does hide crossing, true, but I prefer to have belts at differing heights.

[cursive crane]

If space saving demands it, w/e you gotta do, its your world lol

[jolly swan]

The game keeps on crashing while Im building is there a fix or am I just gonna have to suck it up

[hollow hill]

yeah so i made sure its got 8888 and 7777 port forwarded and i restarted but it stil is showing the respawn screen ui over the game even after i load in from the dedicatged server

[spice patio]

Use the new -ReliablePort=8888 to explicitly set the new port.
#patch-notes message

[spice patio]

Because that 8888 is often used by something else and the game switches automatically to use some port up from that.
Very bad default set by CSS.

[hollow hill]

on linux, forgotten what file that goes in

[cursive crane]

How experienced with general file structure for software are you?

[spice patio]

Point is that they could have selected ANY port between 1024 and 65535.
And they chose 8888, which is somewhat commonly used.
Where the 7777 for the older port is UE default.

[cursive crane]

Asking because I have a random question, not questioning your knowledge lol

[reef basin]

https://dontasktoask.com/ 🙂

[cursive crane]

Not asking to ask, asking if he knows about the subject im looking for so I don't ask the wrong person.

Dont quote the dark arts to me I was there when they were written

[reef basin]

I mean that's exactly what the article speaks about 🙂 ask the question, because people may know the answer even if they don't know the topic (or vice versa)

[cursive crane]

If you make random folders to store unrelated server files inside a server, does that affect anything?
Or like if I want to store different versions/informational/ini documents, can you have say... engine.ini and TESTengine.ini in the same location without them interferring?

For example

[spice patio]

Unless specific directory has millions of files, no effect outside of the disk space used.

And even for directories with way too many files, only effects trying to access that directory.

Not anything else on the same drive/partition.

[cursive crane]

Appreciate it, i run some game servers where I need some version control, putting them inside the same file structure would save some headache Lol

[plucky plank]

do i need to make a new world for the new update? or are all the new features able to be used in a 1.0 world

[compact python]

ye

its compatible

[cursive crane]

Should be able.

Always backup saves before doing so though

[urban root]

You can boot right into your 1.0 save. I'd make a copy of the entire save games folder first just to be safe.

[cursive crane]

Just backup your whole drive every day best option

[urban root]

I pretty much do that lol

[hollow hill]

what file was this in

[spice patio]

Launch argument.

[zenith pecan]

I guess I'll wait for the weather to clear in game #screenshots message

[hollow hill]

hmm im still experiencing the issue

[dark phoenix]

Hey guys can train have 2 stations and go from A to B back and furth without making a loop at the end of the station? like go backwards?

[leaden bone]

we are so back

wanted elevators for so long, the ladders are so annoying

[urban root]

Yea. Makes sure the stations are both facing the opposite way - round part out.

Then build a loco on each end of the freight cars so they can push and pull as needed.

[dark phoenix]

The issue im facing is i can move the train from A to B but when it comes to B it says A is unreachable i tried to flip the direction of the station
so should they face like <---->?
I think i tried:

---<
<---<

[frail sleet]

yes <--->

[dark phoenix]

Thank you! ill give it a shot now and see.

[crimson jewel]

hit respawn and watched my new truck drive straight through the ground

[zenith pecan]

I wish the lifts went further than 196 metres though.

[lucid pagoda]

How tedious would it be to hand craft the components needed to get trains, I wanna use train to bring rubber and plastic to my manufactory from a few biomes away but I don’t have any other manufacturer items automated yet

[lucid pagoda]

Brudda where u goin 😭 trynna meet god all the way up there

[zenith pecan]

My power station towers are like 600 metres each 😦

[leaden bone]

💀

[leaden bone]

Just make 2 elevators I guess

[zenith pecan]

I'd need three, and the setup would look like crap, is one shaft really too much to ask for, the bloody lift car has buttons for 20 floors, but I can't use it in an 18 floor structure 😡

[leaden bone]

💀

[zenith pecan]

I wasn't kidding when I said my power station towers were tall either: #screenshots message

That said, the individual floors aren't excessive either, that's why I don't get the lift shaft limitation, yet allows for 20 stops, it just doesn't compute.

The one structure of mine where even uncapping the lift shaft wouldn't work is my support tower 🤣 , that thing has alien power augmenters on the grond floor, and 24 floors of power stores, too many for the lift controls 😄

I'm off to work, so I'll be limited to the dreaded mobile discord as and when I have time 😛

[frozen ingot]

will be using this in the future, thank you 😄

reminds me of 'letmegooglethatforyou.com' 😄

[dreamy kestrel]

If you have steel pipes and beams automated that's enough to build a rail line for 1 train

Multiple trains will require signals and therefore computers

[old basin]

Hey, i can't seem to figure out how the blueprint autoconnect feature works. I am in the right build mode, but it places the blueprint down instantly upon left click instead of the auto connect mode

[rustic cloud]

Hi can someone tell me how to activate the photo mode please ?

[fathom grove]

P i think

[rustic cloud]

thx it works

[hard ivy]

1. you need belts sticking out of mergers/splitters/machines, so the game knows which tier of belt to use
2. you need to bring the blueprint close, but not touching, and have link icons show up to initiate the AC
3. click with link icons showing to confirm connections, click without icons to place

[old basin]

Yeah i had teh sticking out of mergers, but it seems you also need them in to mergers as well.
And how do i get cables and power poles to connect?

[ivory condor]

I think its possible, after all I have seen some evidence in the past the collision with the world geometry and tied to the save file structure itself. Though I never got down into the real details of these cases but I have seen examples of saves in the past, where certain saves did have permanently broken terrain collision geometry that wasn't present in other save files. So it might be possible, but I couldn't say for certain without really looking into the details.

[hard ivy]

Poles didn't connect in exp, and I haven't heard about power AC being added

[old basin]

oh damn, so i have to manually bridge power to every blueprint. I mean its still a great feature.
Thank you anyways

[modest rune]

hi. just started a new game (never went far) and when i did the base building milestone, it launched, but then nothing unlocked, i could relaunch it again when it landed, but now the button is stuck? 😦

[ivory condor]

Welcome to the new 1.1 ea branch

[modest rune]

Known bug?

[ivory condor]

this branch has many bugs in it, why i backed up my 1.0 game

[modest rune]

ANd by that you mean the release branch since it released, right? 😦

ok server restart fixed it! cool cool 😦

[ivory condor]

and dedicated has even more known bugs with it to

[modest rune]

😂

[ivory condor]

we are all basically testers here now

[old basin]

Always has been

[ivory condor]

lol indeed

I'm still waiting for the game to eventually become stable, surely we should get there at some point

[steady edge]

please tell me the 1.1 update is save safe...

[hard magnet]

what would be possible you mean? 🤔
Tunnels? Reshapeing the world?

[zenith pecan]

Just keep a copy of your save from 1.0, if it goes tits up, you can reztore the backup.

[steady edge]

awesome!

[zenith pecan]

I already do tunnels, I'm assuming he means reshaping terrain.

[rapid wren]

making basements in satisfactory, with elevators and stairs, so you would have to make the ground non-collision and invisible, but only in a certain section.

[hard magnet]

I can't see how it can't be done in Satisfactory.
but I don't think they want to do it in the game tho since it would break alot of gameplay mechanics, make it to easy to avoid stuff 🤔

[rapid wren]

not reshaping terrain

[hard magnet]

could probably be done if you want to

it just a matter of how much performance it would require 😄

you can already clip into the ground in Satisfactory with trains so..

[rapid wren]

could limit it to the world grid, so you can only dissapear 8x8m sections.

[zenith pecan]

I saw that while punching through the ground for my access shafts.

[hollow hill]

also guysd is temporal illusion on the subreddit chatgpt responses

because it sounds suspicially similar and makes errors like "continuing conversation" and "the OP" vs "OP", uses emojis and makes steps and formatting just like chatgpt was

[zenith pecan]

Oh man, Framework called the AI chatbot on Access4all .... ADA 🤦‍♂️

[ivory condor]

So it begins

[rapid wren]

ADA is benevolent right

[spare turret]

That moment when you find the root cause for your 44 GW turbofuel facility starving itself is because you linked a 600 crude oil pipe and a 300 crude oil pipe thinking they were two 300's, and you left the other 300 on a line needing 600. . . . . .

[frozen ingot]

sounds about right 😄

quite a few times troubleshooting faults i've found a slower belt than required, like a tiny section usually

frustrating! but you found it 🙂

[spare turret]

I had a nightmare about fluids and connecting all the pipes the night after completing it. This is the third time I've troubleshooted. My math is correct, it's just. . . .fluids. They never behave.

[reef basin]

they behave like fluids 🙂

[clever pier]

its a pity alien power matrix is so expensive and not worth it, because the animation while its active is awesome

[hard ivy]

Last time I checked, crude oil wasn't a superfluid

[reef basin]

like, not exactly 😉

[spare turret]

What do you mean not worth it? I'm getting an extra 5 GW from it

Put it down and faggetaboutit

[clever pier]

did you work out the total energy cost needed to produce them?

[spare turret]

Built it, machine noises were made, I was happy.

Also, I'm not putting anything into it yet. Still just the 10%

[clever pier]

you need like 15 power shards a minute production

I am talking about alien power matrix, not the augmenters

the augmenters are worth it yes

[crude canyon]

and the opportunity cost

[clever pier]

i have six augmenters

[crude canyon]

you could've used the sloops for more power

[clever pier]

alien power matrix doesn't cost sloops

[spare turret]

Ah, I don't have the matrix unlocked yet (heh)

[crude canyon]

but the augmenter does

[spare turret]

10 sloops and thats it

[acoustic mountain]

does anyone know why fluids sometimes just go to 600/min then 400/min then back to 600/mib

[clever pier]

yes but you can descontruct the augmenter and get the sloops back if you need them elsewhere

[crude canyon]

10 sloops is huge

[spare turret]

Sloshing, let the buffers of everything fill and it'll quit

I would know.

[acoustic mountain]

thanks

[clever pier]

theres enough sloops on the map to have 8 augmenters and roughly 20 left for boosting production

[vocal tide]

Hello, I have a question : if a save is corrupted, does the game detect the corruption when trying to load the save ?

I ask that because the game crashed nearly the same time of an autosave and I would like to be sure I can use that save safely or I should use the other autosave 5 minuts before

[spare turret]

Wait for all pipes and buffers to fill, then connect whatever you are going to use the fluid in to it. It should fill right up and the sloshing will stop

[hard ivy]

There's 106 sloops, 3 needed for research, 103 left

[clever pier]

yeah I like to use 8 for augmenters and keep 23 spare for boosts

[boreal musk]

i keep 30 to sloop all the sam in the map

[hard ivy]

You need 34 for that

[patent crane]

everything that is spoken in this server sounds like gibberish because im only like 5 percent through the game

[edgy tiger]

hello

[patent crane]

hello

[leaden turret]

<@&370483737957236737> fyi if you haven't seen the beanana hammock concept art yet, check if the office has an eye wash station first 😛

[patent crane]

should i restart for a better area on the map

[tall lantern]

probably not

[leaden turret]

depends on what else you don't like about your current playthrough

[patent crane]

because im stuck in the worst area its got loads of hills

[leaden turret]

nothing stopping you from moving to a new area without starting a new save

[vocal tide]

The game crashes A LOT

The game is unplayable since the 1.1 is relased

[lethal citrus]

Buffer stops? They added buffer stops. Dope.

oh. wait. that isn't what I thought it was.

[true juniper]

Make sure you manifold the nuclear pasta into the sink so the space-whale-ticks don't eat your pressure conversion cubes while you upload your blueprint into the dimensional depot. Or something like that

[zenith pecan]

That has to be system specific, I left the game running since the update yesterday, it hasn't crashed on mine.

[lament niche]

wot

bro isnt going to be beating these allegations

[spare turret]

Alien Power Augmenter. Drop it down and forget about it. Italian Style.

[lament niche]

no, the other word you said

[true juniper]

He plays Warframe, I think he's allowed to say it

[lament niche]

obiwan voice Oh, I don't think so

only the purest COD MW2 player is allowed that word

Hi, looking for people for dedicated server 1.1 in EUROPE. Please dm if youd like to join. we are about to start the server. 18+ and voice chat is mandatory.

[ivory condor]

My game doesn't really crashed much in 1.1 so far, but its very laggy in some saves

[prisma forge]

Where did you start?

[indigo willow]

was wondering if the bug where if u have Q menu open when u enter water it closes but when u jump out it opens up for split second and closes again when u get back into water, is known or is that intended (i hope its not cuz its annoying)

[lament niche]

hannah screwed up the world geometry again
#screenshots message

[ivory condor]

not sure what im looking at

[lament niche]

the triangle in the middle of the screen jutting out

[alpine shadow]

Does MAM hard drive library not work for some people? Its empty for me and I can't put a hard drive in

[ivory condor]

well

[finite saddle]

when it says to have a foundry at 33.3333... % would it be fine to just round it to 33.4%?

[prisma forge]

Yeah

[finite saddle]

gotcha

[vocal tide]

Didn't crash since the last update

The last update crashes a lot

[blissful mesa]

In fact there are a ton of issues with them, this one is pretty painful yes. 1.1 is nice but man, when are we going to get basic improvement for "wheel" terrain vehicles which were in the game a lot longer than trains and flying vehicles??

[faint compass]

can i continue my 1.0 playthrough to use new stuff in 1.1 ?

[spare turret]

I am

[blissful mesa]

For example this simple issue was reported more than half a year ago by several people (see duplicates), but even this is not fixed! and there are more essential/(existential even) problems with tractors such as path recording being ass and path editing not being a thing.
https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/67539798c3824959d2139c4a

[finite saddle]

do i take 1 iron ingot 1 steel ingot --> 3 iron plates or should i rescan hardrive this is the first time ive scanned these things. the other was just charcoal

[ivory condor]

there is enough hdds to get all alts, you can just keep the recipe in queue, that allows you to get the recipes you want faster

[finite saddle]

so i dont need to pick the reward now and leave it for later when i actually need alt recipes

[ivory condor]

yep, and it won't pick those recipes as long as they are in the mam hdd queue and you haven't picked one

that'll allow to get the recipes you do want from other hdds faster, by removing those recipes from what you could get from the next hdd scans

[finite saddle]

ohhhh thats cool ty ty

also would u recommend more steel pipes or steel beams. i have the option of doing 15 steel pipes 40 steel beams or 30 steel pipes 20 steel beams

[lament niche]

the first one

[marble socket]

Options > Controls > Mouse Sensitivity 🙂

Also, I pressed the coffee maker in the HUB yesterday, and I can assure y'all they used the sound of a Senseo coffee maker for that xD

[vocal tide]

Since the experimental has been released as stable, the game crashes very a lot

Before the last update, we can play hours without any problem

[bold heron]

how u decide what you build or how much u wanna produce of X ?

[finite saddle]

should i use a manifold when have 2 100% foundry's and 1 at 66.6% or should i just use splitters and make a regular belt setup

[frozen ingot]

arbitrary big numbers that i pull out of thin air

[mortal loom]

my friend just sinked our coupons 😢

[frozen ingot]

generally 10/min of most parts is a reasonable goal but honestly it's just whatever, i pick a spot on the map, pick the nearby nodes, and use sftools.com to maximise as best as i can

[near frost]

Is The game coming to console and what is the release date?

[bold heron]

coupons ? multitude ? that sucks

[frozen ingot]

yes, no date yet

[golden token]

Hey I have a question, does anyone have experience of joining servers while playing through Geforce now? Can't seem to make it work

[bold heron]

satisfactory on switch 2 would be awesome.

[near frost]

what about like an approximate date like this year or next year?

[bold heron]

anyone tryed satisfactory on steam deck ? how is it running ? how is it playing ? are controls ok ? whats whit lategame ?

[near frost]

💀 HELL NAAA That small joystick would be pain

[mortal loom]

it's her first time playing the game I'll just edit them back in

[steady glade]

like they consciously built a container, stuffed all the coupons in, and destroyed them? why//

[mortal loom]

no she saw the coupons in the sink and then put them in the container it was connected to

she had no idea what it was for

[steady glade]

yikes

[frozen ingot]

how many coupons?

just how bad was this? lol and yeah, save edit will fix that i guess

[torn frigate]

How do I start the game without initiating the update?

[true mulch]

Steam or Epic?

[torn frigate]

Steam

[true mulch]

close Steam, and use the shortcut method here https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Launch_arguments

[clever pier]

i thought coupons would clog the sink after the first one that gives you an easter egg

[true mulch]

use -NoSteamClient -EpicPortal

[true mulch]

they're worth 1 point

[clever pier]

oops

thats unfortunate then

[torn frigate]

You're awesome @true mulch

[zinc pagoda]

I was getting so annoyed with this yesterday. It was so hard to get out the screen because of the water

[torn frigate]

@true mulch It's strange. I've set the target aug but it still keeps closing

[true mulch]

try replacing -EpicPortal with -NoMultiplayer

[torn frigate]

Then I can't play Satisfactory with my wife

[true mulch]

you can't play the game offline and in multiplayer

[earnest ridge]

If the game version is after 1.0, then there is SteamDRM so no more offline launch arguments.

[true mulch]

are you sure?

[earnest ridge]

Yes.

Update 8 is the last time you can use them, to skip Epic and Steam overlays and play offline.

[true mulch]

oh the binary is different

[zinc pagoda]

They said 2025

[true mulch]

it's called FactoryGameEGS.exe on Epic

[torn frigate]

So it's basically forcing me to update and start over my game

Cause it corrupts my save when I update

[reef basin]

wdym "corrupts"?

[torn frigate]

I'm using mods and it breaks the game

[near frost]

yayay

[reef basin]

ah, well, you have to wait until mods are available again
(that's what you get with using third-party modding)

[torn frigate]

Rude.

[zinc pagoda]

It's their focus now 1.1 is done. Everyone is on console until it launches

[earnest ridge]

Hopefully some of the focus is on fixing the current 1.1 bugs...

[reef basin]

just stating the fact

[near frost]

would it work for the PS4?

[torn frigate]

I've used steam for a very long time and I've never seen a game force you to update nor remove the ability to downgrade updates.

[true mulch]

@earnest ridge EGS was defeated just by using -NoMultiplayer -EpicPortal

[zinc pagoda]

No ps5 and Xbox series console they said

[near frost]

sad

[earnest ridge]

Make sense since it is SteamDRM.

[zinc pagoda]

Time to upgrade 🙂

[near frost]

ya i am getting a 1K PC

[true mulch]

very strange, I always thought we were promised to always be able to run the game offline/DRM-free

[reef basin]

the ability to downgrade is still there though? you can use steamcmd to get any steam version you want

[true mulch]

yeah, but it seems to have Steam's DRM (?)

I can't test that because I only have the game on Epic

[reef basin]

what are the launch arguments for steam?

[true mulch]

try all three, -NoMultiplayer -EpicPortal -NoSteamClient

but considering the two executables aren't the same, it's possible -NoSteamClient doesn't work anymore

[torn frigate]

It doesn't work.

[reef basin]

why wouldn't steamcmd work?

[torn frigate]

Because it still forces you to update

[reef basin]

steamcmd? the command-line utility?

[torn frigate]

After downgrading and starting the game, it tries to update.

[reef basin]

with steam turned off, and launching the game via normal executable?

[torn frigate]

It tries to pull up steam.

[reef basin]

the executable? or are you running it from desktop shortcut or something?

[torn frigate]

Okay, new hurdle, it gives me a E010 error when trying to load my game. Probably due to it being a LAN game.

[reef basin]

get the game on epic then

[stoic mountain]

where do you get the elevators`?

Nvm found them

[pliant prawn]

wheres the FAQ to get off of the experimental build and onto main 1.1?

[reef basin]

prob in #faq

[pliant prawn]

its only updated to 1.0 😦

[nimble moth]

Hey guys how are we all :)

I cant wait for this game to come to consoles it looks so fun and addictive

[torn frigate]

Epic is trash

[jade perch]

Gonna get 13 year olds hooked on process engineering

[pastel harness]

Here for it ngl

[reef basin]

epic is completely fine (but this is a topic for #off-topic-general )

[jade perch]

Me too
So much better than call of duty

[torn frigate]

same for this

[reef basin]

that was on topic - if you have game on epic, you should be able to play without DRM

[torn frigate]

This should be on topic as well. Found a fix. https://docs.ficsit.app/satisfactory-modding/latest/faq.html#PlayOlderVersion

[reef basin]

that is also from pre-1.1

[torn frigate]

It worked so shrugs

[reef basin]

well then it's exactly what I've been telling you to use 🤷

which you specifically told me didn't work

[torn frigate]

yawn

[pliant prawn]

stumbled my way around, even the FAQ for 1.0 didn't seem to have it anywhere but you have to go to your library in steam, and select the drop down for version. Was quite the treasure hunt lol

Hey ik this is a stupid question but I'm gonna ask it anyways. Is it possible to keep the starting drop pod or I must delete it?

[reef basin]

go czech it

[hard ivy]

Theoretically yes you could leave it and source the iron ore another way, but idk how onboarding is gonna like that

[stiff sierra]

Yeah that's what I'm thinking about too

[hard ivy]

Logically, it should skip past building the hub if you do that without completing the earlier objectives but frankly idk how it's coded

[stiff sierra]

Cool, thank you! I'll look into it later. Cya

[viral olive]

did u guys restart for 1.1

[reef basin]

no

I didn't even play 1.0 or 1.1

[torn frigate]

Nope, I'm staying on 1.0 till i'm finished with my game

[strange lichen]

Did they just remove the possibility to place "stackable conveyer poles" diagonally on foundation??? i did it yesterday, but cannot do it today...

[long cave]

my pipes just say loading i dont know why the others work fine and ive replaced them but they still are loading how do i fix this

[pliant prawn]

Honestly dont remember ever doing this? is it specific to build mode maybe? like turn off straight and go auto?

[pliant prawn]

pipes are weird. are you trying to move fluid between different heights? Base headlift is only ten meters

[long cave]

no it is a straight line after some headlift but it just has a spinny thing where it normally shows that fluid is in the pipe

it is for a long row of refineries

and the first 8 get water fine

[strange lichen]

Changes nothing to toggle the build mode. 😅

[long cave]

but the last 2's pipes are loading

[pliant prawn]

double check your math, and rebuild a bunch. You may just be out of flow. Mk1 pipes? only 300/min rate cap

[empty path]

man the sunrise the spire coast is so red/dark i love it, building here this time around my mega factory

[pliant prawn]

derp okay my b. stackable ones? hold on a sec let me try

[long cave]

i can show you image

[pliant prawn]

pop over to #1038092680493801533

[long cave]

ok

[copper raft]

Spiny thing means pipe doesn’t have a liquid, so pipes aren’t connected properly, delete the connecting junction and rebuild

[long cave]

ive done that twice

[copper raft]

Guess you’re cooked

[long cave]

il try again

[long cave]

it worked thank you

[pliant prawn]

@strange lichen I cant get it to work either, you could trick it bu rebuilidng the foundation at an angle, build the stacker, then rebuild the foundation after

[strange lichen]

Oh right, thank you. 😉

[vernal musk]

i take photo in game and it dont save

[pliant prawn]

are you in the right folder? did you switch between experimental branch and main 1.1 recently?

[vernal musk]

i never went on the experimental

[pliant prawn]

double check your in the right folder then, they save to the pathway in #faq

[vernal musk]

i found the right folder

Hello guys

When I create blueprints in the designer, I can't find them in the game. The files in the directory are created, but they are not visible in the game...

I have dedicated linux server.

[empty path]

lol on my 2nd playtrough im spending 10 times more on aesthetics before even starting production lines 😂 i might need help haha

[pliant prawn]

not sure if linux affects that? try reloading and the usual?

[woven juniper]

I tried many times

[pliant prawn]

hmmmm. weird. sorry I cant be more helpful.

[wise comet]

Console development is being done by Fishlabs.

[cyan garnet]

Make sure you don’t have any spaces or special characters in the name of your session

[zinc pagoda]

Ok. They said yesterday on the stream the teams focus is no console.

[opaque plume]

A question, think ive maybe bin dumb for a year. I have always put a Hypertube from 1 point to anothor, and then a seperate one back. However now im finding out i can put 2 entrances connected to the same hypertube, and it works both ways. Is this a bug, or Have i always done everything way more complicated?

[ancient cradle]

Was the fog of those toxic stones whatever always those weird 2d animated images directed to camera view? It looks so weird when you look from above to them hell nah! 😅

[empty path]

They improved it but it is 2d now 😂 i hope that was an overlook and gets fixed coz it looks super bad lol

my immersion :c

[earnest ridge]

They always have been bi-directional, if you put an entrance on either side.

[ancient cradle]

fr :/

[flat sorrel]

they added new stuff but it aint like an update like before where u had revolutionary new things

just improvements of stuff already on the game

[opaque plume]

BRO

how did i never know that

[earnest ridge]

Now you know.

[opaque plume]

200 hours

xD

[earnest ridge]

Trying out stuff is how you learn, there are many regular and "hidden" game features that are not always obvious.

[opaque plume]

changing all the paths in me world rn

[opaque plume]

making me feel better

thx bro

[pastel oriole]

Hey everyone, I’ve just recently gotten into the “automation” genre as a whole this is by the best one I have seen so far. Idk why but I found the gameplay loop here particularly cathartic. I hope the devs will see this, keep up the good work all!! P.S. TYVM for the full controller support, I’m a KB+M hater so that update alone was fantastic!

[hidden sparrow]

I mean im at 800h total and still havnt made a single automatic train or drone or car

[opaque plume]

ive tried trains, but i had problems powering em. new world tho, ill figure that one out later

completing phase 3 from space elevator now

[untold escarp]

quick, is the "map" keybind broken?

oh right nvm, gotta unlock map first, didnt start a new save in ages

[dreamy kestrel]

just connect a station to power and the entire railway gets powered

[opaque plume]

think i was lacking in the power department

but ohwell

[untold escarp]

wait did they introduce bhopping again?

[warm pivot]

Do Oil/Water Extractors provide headlift when they are idling?

[rain wedge]

just use drones lol 🤣 dont have to worry about crashing like car/train

[hidden sparrow]

belts belts all over the map

no throughput issues

[dreamy kestrel]

trains use like 30 mw of power each, it shouldnt be burdenous

[rain wedge]

sounds like some 'lets game it out' stuff lmao

[opaque plume]

idk man

too long ago

[hidden sparrow]

#screenshots message boo

[split pike]

I just learned how to autoconnect railroad blueprints. Is this part of the new patch or was this always here?

I know they added blueprint autoconnect in general, but I wasn't sure whether rail always could.

[untold escarp]

rails, pipes and belts afaik

[dreamy kestrel]

hypertubes as well

but yeah autoconnecting is new to 1.1

[split pike]

Well, its GLORIOUS. Makes railroad building actually fun rather than fairly tedious.

It unfortunately causes the rail to lose its "electric" property so if you're using the hoverpack you just drop when you build the next rail section

[frozen ingot]

part of the new patch and probably the best part of it

hopefully it gets more work, but it's already so usable and so useful

i built a long train line recently with it

i'm already not happy with the blueprint i made, but i did build it quickly lol

i've never bothered with trains much before but now i think i'm going to dive in and try and build a fun train network

[pine temple]

Where are photos saved with the new camera mode now?

[frozen ingot]

in the same root folder that the saves are iirc

icr off the top of my head but the #faq will need to be updated <@&370483737957236737> (sorry for the wrong ping there)

new folder location for screenshots in 1.1
%AppData%\Local\FactoryGame\Saved\Screenshots\Windows

it's like app data/docs/factorygame/screenshots/windows or something

[summer egret]

i just build a whole factory just for me to forget i directly connected my iron to screws instead of making rods first ughghgh

[frozen ingot]

%AppData%\Local\FactoryGame\Saved\Screenshots\Windows that's the new path for screenshots in 1.1

[split pike]

Last night I was building a train around the desert biome, and I got halfway done which took about 3 hours, and I was thinking to myself, I'm not sure how people manage to do these huge rails networks across the entire map without getting very tired lol. Then after I figured out how to rail autoconnect, I did another quarter in ~10mins.

[frozen ingot]

yeah, it must have taken much longer before. I did build some raillines back in the day but never a big network

and i didn't realise until recently that there's two auto-connect modes, default and blueprint. With the latter you can have blueprints go up against each other and connect belts/rails to the edge of the blueprint. So good!

[marble socket]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Screw Cast Screws go brrrrrrrr

[summer egret]

i know but i still have to make changes then

items per minute is different tho

[worn lark]

true

[summer egret]

LMAO

[worn lark]

yeah

[summer egret]

BRO REALISED

[upper gale]

I remember when people were saying it would be impossible to auto connect conveyors in blueprints. Welp, here we are

[whole flame]

Is there a save game? I really wanted to see this base setup from the main menu of 1.1 !

[zenith pecan]

Hmm, I've left the game running since yesterday, and it's memory usage has gone up by 1Gb.

[split pike]

Dedicated server or client?

[zenith pecan]

Just a client, me running the game as bog standard.

Back in a little while, going out the door.

[sinful wharf]

where do you build the elevator again

i press Q and i see nothing on it

[split pike]

Awesome shop I believe to unlock it first

[sinful wharf]

ahhh awesome shop gotcha, thank you

[outer yacht]

New nudge is great

Lil buggy though unless we're supposed to be able to place things as high as we want with no supports lol

[abstract heron]

i notice that auto saving is bigger now

[white dawn]

That's basically always been the case, in the end. Floating structures ahoy, etc

[outer yacht]

Yeah just wasn't as easy before

But it's fun I built my coal power in the sky just bc I can

[white dawn]

Just that prior to the new nudging behavior, you'd either have to use a mod (infinite nudge, I think) or just dismantle your temp foundations and such afterwards

[late void]

Is anyone else having problems with getting the stuff you’ve dismantled back?? Anything over the limit of your inventory seems to just disappear instead of going into a box?

[hard ivy]

In 1.1, dismantle crates combine. Look in a crate nearby

[grim epoch]

When moving around, things are leaving a trail behind them, how do I disable that?

[late void]

They’re not appearing at all no crates are in the area

[tepid bear]

Bruh, why does the game switch back to controller every time I load the game? It soft locks me until I find a controller.

And this time, it permalocked me, because I was unable to get past the message on the main menu.

[grim epoch]

NM, found it. Temporal AA.

[late void]

Nevermind? I think i found them they’re like 100m+ away Holy they can travel now

[hard ivy]

200m iirc

[spark ruin]

you probably shouldnt turn TAA OFF 😄

[stray onyx]

quick question dies any1 hear Blade Runners when u jump even if u dont have equipped?

[round hound]

Man, they fixed the dupe glitch with the factory cart

[sonic apex]

Is it just me, or are the zipline sounds a little... messed up?

[severe stump]

Am I the only one or is the crafting bench 'total' count messed up with the actual output number

[real field]

at what point in the game did you move to just building a working factory to building a stylish factory

[leaden ether]

Heh I started that at the end of phase three getting ready for phase 4 🙂

[clever pier]

todays factory goal... finish half done UWaste to plutonium. start on conversion to ficsonium

[maiden jacinth]

Smart splitters seem like a good time to start doing that

[clever pier]

IMO theres only one good place on the map for UWaste processing where you have sulfur, nitrogen, water, and quartz relatively close.... north of the dune desert. at least I haven't found another spot with all of those

[leaden ether]

The north shore of the rocky desert is decent, it's where I build my plant. THough I had to drone in encased uranium rods from the red forest.

[clever pier]

i am flying in the waste yes

from a nuclear plant further west

[snow arch]

Can you explain how to auto connect vertical conveyors in blueprints? They connect visually but nothing goes through.

[clever pier]

i like to physically seperate the nuclear plants and the waste processing

[worn lark]

others: connecting blueprints ! elevator !
me: mmb copies colour now as well

[upper gale]

I haven't tried it yet I just saw it in the trailer is all

[iron trout]

Also, am I correct in understanding that rain still hasn't returned to the game?

[worn lark]

oh no what did you do

[clever pier]

no rain

they said they have to upgrade to a newer UE version to get rain working again and it was too late in this release to do that

but they did not rule out it coming back in a future update

hes too busy snorting cocaine and arguing with tim cook

other UE games like Ark have rain

[fluid sapphire]

im at the point where i want to make a rail loop around all my factories, in advance of building, in order to bring power and later add stations, intersections, sidetracks and what have you

is it a safe bet to simply make a dual rail loop all the way around and then later delete sections to add all the extras, or is there something i am not considering? never done rail before

[clever pier]

you can do it that way

just delete sections to add stations later. I've done similar

[outer wasp]

what happend, this is the most buggy patch we ever had in satisfactory

[clever pier]

you probably want to add two stations at least to test the routing

[eager oar]

Definitely safer to make it a dual rail

[fluid sapphire]

yes, i have a Y shaped post basically, with 2 rails

[clever pier]

I've been playing the experimental for weeks and didn't notice any bugs apart from minor cosmetic stuff? what bugs?

[eager oar]

Speaking of the patch. I noticed a pretty significant FPS drop. Anyone else?

[outer wasp]

crash to desktops, foliage does not dissapear, dedicated server crash

vanilla game, no mods

[eager oar]

I'm also on vanilla

[clever pier]

oh dedicated server well thats different

[fluid sapphire]

but coolio, that means i can get most of it out of the way

i had 2 crashes yesterday, 1 today

[eager oar]

I'm only single player though

[outer wasp]

and yes, fps drops appear sometime but looks like bottlenecking for a little hickup

[eager oar]

My gaming laptop is not very powerful but I was still getting higher FPS prior to the 1.1 patch

Lol!

Jeez I wish I could do that. Or even if I could buy it and install it lol

[sterile bluff]

where can I find someone to play with?

[eager oar]

I think I'm going to get a decent custom built gaming desktop soonish

[outer wasp]

#1382411513628852306

[eager oar]

I just need to organize my space a bit better.

[iron trout]

Verify game files?

[clever pier]

nice with 6 power augmenters each Uranium rod nuclear plant gives 4GW

[outer wasp]

already did

playing on dedicated server

[clever pier]

sure if I underclock the particle accelerator to 1 percent

[iron trout]

Ohhh. It's multiplayer. Have you verified the server files, too?

[outer wasp]

yes

[eager oar]

Lol. Well either way I could use an upgrade from the gaming laptop I currently have

[iron trout]

I honestly have never really tried multiplayer, and often have seen nothing but "more bugs" be the state of it in Early Access. May be the issue here, too. Does it happen if you're not playing on a server?

[real field]

how do I unlock elevators

[sonic apex]

Seems zipline tool sounds are bugged

https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/67f16c336b7c573196363f10

[eager oar]

Actually I'm running the game on a 1650

It runs on pretty much the lowest of graphics

[maiden jacinth]

Also theres some stuff you can do to improve performance in factory building

Like using trucks instead of long belts

[clever pier]

or trains

[eager oar]

Ouch is right

Well, I bought this Acer Nitro 5 a few years ago. So it's already kind of old and not that fast to begin with

[sonic apex]

I am running this game on an RTX 3070

[eager oar]

Yep

[peak wasp]

Jest ktoś z Polski

[reef basin]

#rules english only server

[eager oar]

Me

But you cannot speak Polish here

If you need to, use Google translate

[peak wasp]

Can anyone test my Satisfactory server for me?

[eager oar]

I would but I'm not at home right now. What do you need tested?

Good idea

[jaunty jewel]

was there general graphic improvements in 1.1?

[green fiber]

liiike?

there were some vfx changes

[jaunty jewel]

it feels like the game looks sharper and there are some small changes i feel i mightve just not noticed before

[delicate blade]

The "Welcome to Satisfactory" screen doesnt have controller support, and the mouse wont work while controller supports turned on. Is their a fix?

[fluid sapphire]

well, explosions got overhauled

[spice patio]

It does, but Steam is still by default in mode where it converts any controller input into emulated mouse & keyboard.
Need to disable Steam Input for the game to disable that.

As the game didn't have controller support before 1.1, and Steam defaults haven't catched up yet to the new state.

[glossy iris]

Am I mildly insane for rushing depot before getting to tier 2 belts-

[spice patio]

If on SteamDeck, need to switch the integrated controls to pure Gamepad mode, not anything else, not even the "official layout".

[delicate blade]

Gotcha, my buddies been freaking out thinking his game bricked lol

Thanks dude

[hollow vector]

1235u intergrated graphics intel.

[white dawn]

Yeah, I know some folks didn't like the updated water effects; IMO they're quite nice

[midnight fog]

nah, t2 belts are expensive skip to t3 instead

[hollow vector]

if its so bad why dont they make it?

[glossy iris]

I just want more storage space and sloops for a biofuel generator set-up ' v'

[late torrent]

anyone having issue with their epic account being used for online instead of steam and their hotbar being cleared after the update?

[zenith pecan]

I really need to sort out the liquid biofuel processing plant.

[static dune]

is there a way to put parachute away once its opened? it feels very slow for some situations

[ember locust]

by crouching i believe

[green fiber]

crouch

[static dune]

oh crouch, marvelous! Thanks 🙂

[lucid pagoda]

5 of every item is do-able, correct?

[lament olive]

yup

[static dune]

so i'm not far in, i'm at the tractor phase. when i upgrade miners and belts that knocks production numbers all off. so is it viable to put all smelted ore into containers and branch out from there? In theory it sounds easier

[lucid pagoda]

what i personally do when i get mk2 miners especially is rebuild my factory, sounds tedious but imo it makes the management and usage of raw resource easier

[static dune]

but wont it all go out of whack again with tier 3 and so on?

i just got tier 2's. they're so nice 😄

[lament olive]

does sftools need a 1.1 update or should it still be fine - no recipe changes right?

[marble socket]

#screenshots message @hollow pelican was about to post the exact same

[glossy iris]

"How much travelling did you do to get the steel pipes necessary to unlock sloops and depot?"

me, with 400+ beryl nuts: Oh just a little bit

[white dawn]

Correct. No recipe changes, so it needs no update

[hollow pelican]

i am thinking to just back up my save data and delete the game and re install it

[marble socket]

It's probably not updated in game files

Mine has the exact same xD

[hollow pelican]

yeah but when i play every 1.1 item is there

well i deleted it and it is installing again

i love the faced that my wifi card is wifi 6 so it just takes 20 minutes

[static dune]

pfft. took me 3 hours to download the update yesterday

[hollow pelican]

took me like 12 minutes but after 2 reboot's and everything i was 1 hour later and i am still having problems

[static dune]

it took me 2-3 days to download 120gb RDR2 😦

[hollow pelican]

i will just connect my laptop to Ethernet at that point and then use steam link to update it on my pc

wait i can set up something called a steam cash

[static dune]

i'm in England and wherever i've lived the internet is always awful. i use my phones hotspot now and have done for a few years

England has pretty slow internet compared to the rest of the world

[leaden turret]

sits here with gigabit internets

[hollow pelican]

then use a steam cash it's basically a server that saves the update data so when you download it a 2nd time you pull it from your own server so it will be faster

[pseudo moth]

Since when does the AWESOME sink not accept Quantum computers? Or did it never accept them and I'm just looney tunes?

[hollow pelican]

and i am in the Netherlands who have one of the best networks

[stone finch]

When is 1.2 (definitely not satire)

[white dawn]

Quantum Computers were removed as an item in 1.0; probably got removed from the list of acceptable sink items then

[outer pecan]

is there any issues updating a 1.0 world to 1.1

[white dawn]

(I didn't know you could even retain them in your inventory post-1.0)

[hollow pelican]

nope not that i know of

[white dawn]

It's always a good idea to make backups, but CSS have historically been very good with savegame compatibility

You can technically still load saves from the very first public versions of the game, even

[keen temple]

spawn crash spawn crash spawn crash

[hollow pelican]

btw who here plays whit mods

[pseudo moth]

Now that explains why my production in one of my factories ground to a halt, there was a stack of 25 quantum computers that weren't being accepted by the line. So I had a stack of 25 quantum computers holding up the line of 600+ supercomputers, lol

That's what I get for not checking on that factory until its output dried up

[lament olive]

Why did you have quantum computers on ANY line in the first place

[pseudo moth]

It was a factory that had plenty of backlog of inventory going out, its output didn't dry up until recently.

[lament olive]

Still not sure how you end up with a factory output and inventory mixing up

[hollow pelican]

btw do you use steam or epic

[pseudo moth]

Let me rephrase, then: The output was being collected in a storage container. That is what I was labelling as inventory. The container was quite full, then eventually, because the quantum computers were holding up the process, the storage dried up.

That's what I get for focusing on building beautification for a couple gaming sessions. shrug

[lucid pagoda]

how do i get a truly dark foundation? the darkest i can get is a grey kinda color as shown in #screenshots

[lament olive]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YB8mH5Rh8sQ

[pseudo moth]

the Carbon Steel finish is pretty close, though shiny.

[keen dagger]

Why can't I use the mouse in the menu when in controller mode.

My game is frozen now

[green fiber]

is this your issue?
#satisfactory message

[keen dagger]

Closed steam. Still don't have a mouse.

[green fiber]

i dont think closing steam does the trick

[sinful depot]

this is probably a dumb as fuck question and has been asked 1000 times. I hate to be the 1001 but I have no other choice. are mods working in 1.1?

[south sinew]

depends on the mod

[keen dagger]

Tried disabling controllers. Didn't fix it

[south sinew]

gotta check your specific mods to see if the authors have updated them

[leaden turret]

unplugged controller?

[keen dagger]

Yeah I'm nowhere near my controller

How did bug make it past beta. Holy.

Controller/mouse keyboard should work at the same time without having the need to switch.

[paper mauve]

how to fix not wanting to play but wanting to play. like being burned out but not in a sense

[keen dagger]

Find a new task

[paper mauve]

would play with people but they dont know how I want it set out in a way

[paper mauve]

Tried. honest

[keen dagger]

Vyvanse 😉

[paper mauve]

??

[hollow vector]

you dont even need mods tbh

satisfactory calculator is all i use for some extra slots in inventory and hadn

[keen dagger]

Perscription stimulants.

[paper mauve]

ah havent but no thanks

[urban root]

This could be you. https://youtu.be/aNDbB_Nc2fg?feature=shared

aw

[sinful depot]

I just use 300 inventory slots, infinite nudge and utility pak for flying

[hollow vector]

you dont need mods for extra inventory slots

you can do that using calculator
and some extra handslots

theres now vertical nudge so there isnt too much need for infinite nudge

utility pack sounds a bit cheesy to the game progression

[still ginkgo]

nudge limit removal and vertical nudge helps me so much with building railways

[hollow vector]

vertical nudge is built in

[still ginkgo]

yh ik i dont use mods, im talking about normal game

[hollow vector]

k

[still ginkgo]

1.1 very good QOL

[hollow vector]

yea

[urban root]

Mods are fine. As long as you're having fun that's all that matters. This is one game where even with mods you can still be trash lmao.

[paper mauve]

but it aint

also ive watched like all of his vids

ik you trying to help but like anyone got anything else?

[still ginkgo]

i agree, though some can break progression, or make the mathing too easy

[urban root]

If that footi isn't inspiring idk what is.

[still ginkgo]

with 1.1 i dont rly have much complaints anymore

[hollow vector]

real

[still ginkgo]

maybe like small vehicle lifts

[hollow vector]

people thought mathing was too hard?

theres a fucking built in calculator

[paper mauve]

but it doesnt help me inspiring yes but not enough to fix being burned out

[urban root]

I usually ride my dirt bike when I feel that way. Something about being outside and nearly falling off a cliff really helps.

[fluid sapphire]

the background of some of my map markers just turned yellow, whats the deal

[random wasp]

Where should I start if u want nice open area for a big factory but also few resources to pueh me yo make a nice logistic network?

[vestal mica]

have you tried playing while submerged in melted butter?

because i get the feeling there is no correct answer and you're just here to whine

[urban root]

The "Paula Plunge"

[paper mauve]

im js here for opinions. Serious ones.

[urban root]

Go outside, go interact with society.

[vestal mica]

i could not be more serious

[paper mauve]

at 9PM?

[urban root]

Go to bed then. Get a good night of rest. I also side with @vestal mica. Don't be chronically online and depressed. It won't get any better. Go to bed, get up early, interact with society then come back and relax with ficsit

[oblique cape]

I was so looking forward to playing the update, but since i cant load my previous run nor a new run without it crashing, looks like i'm gonna have to play something else.

[urban root]

Were you using mods?

[oblique cape]

no

[urban root]

Upload your save to satisfactory calculator make some changes then redownload it.

[leaden ether]

Heh same here, something odd in my 750 hour save caused it to crash on load every time. NBD I have maybe another month to finish this save and then I'l start a new one on 1.1
