satisfactory

[leaden ether]

ANd some of the last little bugs will probably be fixed by them too 🙂

[oblique cape]

I can't even start a new one. it goes to load it and then just crashes.

[leaden ether]

Oh that's not good 😦 I did try loading a new one and it was fine, just my save is causing it trouble.

[urban root]

Reinstall the game or verify installation files via epic/steam

[oblique cape]

I verify the integrity of the game files every single time i go to run the game.

Had to do it every time i wanted to play because it would crash numerous times before even getting to the main menu for 1.0

[urban root]

I think the game is not the issue

[oblique cape]

its not

its an Intel issue

why is this not autoconnecting? how does it work

[green fiber]

autoconnect doesnt connect junctions to junctions or splitters to splitters

it only connects pipes to pipes or belts to belts

[abstract swift]

can i make my life easier in any way

[green fiber]

add a small pipe or belt segment to stuff you want to autoconnect

[abstract swift]

ok ty

[frozen ingot]

if only 😄

it's relatively simple to workaround, but... if only 😄

like if they were in a perfect straight line, some option/toggle would be great

[vestal mica]

how would it know what mk belt to use

there are challenges i guess

[maiden jacinth]

Just use the highest tier you can make easily
And mk1 belts are useful from running from machine to splitter/merger

Bro fr tho why are mk3 belts so much cheaper then mk2

[frozen ingot]

what makes you think they are?

[lucid pagoda]

how should i go about fixing my mistake in #screenshots

[frozen ingot]

you mean the foundation that's off the world grid or something else? hard to tell

[lucid pagoda]

yea

i have a full path of foundations off the grid

[maiden jacinth]

Easier to get beams then rips

[frozen ingot]

why?

i disagree. Sure once it's all automated you could argue it kinda doesn't matter but certainly by some metrics, RIPs are cheaper than steel beams

[maiden jacinth]

Plus it's less complex. I'm sure later in the game both are easy to make
But when you get mk3 belts they're way easier to make then mk2

[opal rampart]

hi, where could i find the pics i took with the photo mode ?

[leaden turret]

#faq

[opal rampart]

sorry

but there is not?

[frozen ingot]

RIPs are a little less complex i think, but in particular steel beams require two resources

[sleek crow]

Im almost at tier 8, but all my facilities are garbage and the floor of the planent is riddled with boxes everywhere. Is it better to restart or rebuild?

[leaden turret]

#faq message

[maiden jacinth]

Steel beams can be made with a foundry and a constructor to get like 10 a minute
to make the same amount of rips you need 8 constructors 4 smelters and 2 assemblers

[frozen ingot]

yeah that's fair, just depends how much you value that complexity vs two resources instead of one

[maiden jacinth]

Plus mk3 belts are just better
So like. Less complex and better

I left my computer running with a single foundry feeding into an automated wiring and versatile framework assembler
hope I'll have enough when I get back to get oil

[frozen ingot]

pfft pump those numbers up, afk'ing is cheating 😄

[maiden jacinth]

Satisfactory is an idle game

[frozen ingot]

disagree 🤣

[zenith pecan]

Woohoo, trigon production is back, and before I ran out of old stock too 😄

[white dawn]

Time spent idle in Satisfactory is time that could be better spent making more factory. :) 🏭

[maiden jacinth]

But what if I wanna play a different game

[white dawn]

ERROR DOES NOT COMPUTE

An alternative to idling, of course, is just going on some expeditions. It's a big map out there, and there's lots of drives + spheres + sloops + DNA to harvest

[maiden jacinth]

I'll probably do some when I get the jetpack

[sleek crow]

Is there a way to clean up all the boxes in my world?

[ionic kite]

Dismantle crates?
I think the Satisfactory save file editor can be used

It's a third party thing. SCIM I think?

Should be able to do it in a web browser, uploading the save file to edit then downloading the edited one

[ionic kite]

Definitely worth it.
I highly recommend having gas filters, nobelisk (or better yet; cluster nobelisk) and rifle ammo and/or rebar ammo too. Oh, and manual uploading for your cloud storage so you can load stuff from your inventory.
Worth dismantling drone debris (can do in 1.1) after taking the drives so you don't mistake cleared drones for fresh ones

[shy fog]

hmm... seems we have no experimental chat anymore... so guess I need ask here. Is main branch ahead of experimental?

[keen nymph]

i died 2x in a row but only have 1 death box? i had more mats when i died 2nd time. is this normal

[cosmic lava]

is anyone else having the issue where they cant hover over the right half of their power graph

[shy fog]

death boxes can condense down to 1 now

thus if you were close to th e first death box, it's the same box

[true mulch]

Main branch is never ahead

Stable patches are released on both branches

(as of v0.3.5)

[shy fog]

thank you Ondar. also that should be pinned in the experimental section... somewhere...

[next umbra]

Dang :/

So I should probably disabled DLSS. GPU based crash after 2.5minutes on my server :/

[thorny valley]

So my friend got glitched into the void and died and lost some Mercer spheres, if we turn on cheats to get them back and then turn off the cheats will achievements be enabled again

[frail sleet]

Add them back into your save with SCIM, that doesn't disable achievements and it's perfectly legit for cases like this

you can even see how many are in the unreachable death crate, and delete it after

[thorny valley]

Its a server

Does it make a difference

[frail sleet]

just makes it a little more annoying to get the save and reupload it i think

[thorny valley]

Its a dedicated server running off of my friends second pc

[late void]

If you fall into the void all items go to the middle of the map (or origin point??) or it’s a set point, actually upon looking i don’t know if this is true in my experience they always ended up at a point in the map but let me check

[cedar iris]

dismantle crates and death crates merge when in close proximity to one another

[cedar iris]

I think it's when you last touched the ground

if you set the option for dismantle crates to spawn next to you and you were airborne while dismantling, the crate would be placed where you were last in contact with the ground

[late void]

Not 100% but i just dived off and im pretty sure its back at the point in the middle of the map a box just appeared there and it wasn’t before

[cedar iris]

so you fell off the map with items and the crate spawned at 0,0?

[late void]

Oh wait it is back here but i don’t remember a crate being at 0?

This is weird let me go check this

[cedar iris]

try removing any existing crates at 0,0 then try falling off the map again

if it appears there then that happen

[timber shoal]

does turbofuel make the fuel generators generate more energy?

[cedar iris]

no

turbofuel is better than fuel if that's what you're asking

[timber shoal]

im asking if turbofuel causes them to generate more power than regular fuel

[cedar iris]

no

turbofuel does nothing to fuel generators

[timber shoal]

then why use turbofuel when i can easily get regular fuel in much bigger numbers much faster

[cedar iris]

turbofuel has more energy than fuel

[timber shoal]

also the wiki says turbofuel has a bigger energy value than regular fuel

[cedar iris]

yes

[timber shoal]

what does that mean

[cedar iris]

than

[timber shoal]

no ik but what does "having more energy mean" if it doesn't generate more power

[cedar iris]

the wiki

[keen nymph]

ty

[wet juniper]

Is there a way to revert to 1.0?

[sullen gull]

It means it burns less. Same amount of power, up to 625W if gen is at 250%. The different fuels burn at diifferent rates, the 'energy' rating rating in this case means you burn less full at longer rates. So, you need 20m3/min standard fuel, whereas with Turbo fuel, you only need 7.5m3/min to produce the same output. And the numbers get better from there.

[late void]

So i guess it was just an occasional bug? huh that’s interesting

[topaz shale]

Has anyone here tried this on steam deck and if so, how is it? Kinda curious.

[sullen gull]

Word is it works welll from others.

Haven't tried on mine yet

[topaz shale]

I played this before on my pc but since I got steam deck, I kinda want to try it.

[topaz shale]

I'll have to check it out, then.

Will be a few hours but I really do want to try to beat this game. Never gotten past I think stage 4 or so.

I still get a bit overwhelmed with trying to finish this game especially once I get trains. Just not sure how to go about it.

[leaden ether]

If you are on Steam there is a convoluted way of doping it. DM me if you want instructions...

[unreal cosmos]

Does anyone know what this error note is? Fatal error! Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x000000000033061a

[leaden ether]

It is a generic memory acess bug message. If it happens repeatedly or every time you launch or read a save file, you can try looing in the logs to see if there is any more info, i.e. what was logged just before the error.

[reef basin]

post the whole error in #1038092680493801533 as text

[sullen gull]

WIth trains, figure out what route you'd like to take, build a 'pylon' support blueprint with either just a single column of pillars or any design of yours (also some really good inspiration in #screenshots and #design-and-architecture). Then, you can either zoop out foundations as a guide for the pylon to snap too, or, I personally just place the pylon on the ground, and stretch out a piece of rail where I want to go next to find my distance, and repeat. As you do it more, you get used to the max distance of the rail and it becomes easier imo. The hardest part is probably routing, design, and signals if you want to get fancy. However there are good few YT videos out there that explain it better than I could. As for overwhelming, it can be a bit daunting for sure. No matter what ADA says, there is no rush and breaks are ok.

[unreal cosmos]

Thank you

[ripe stump]

Do I have to start a new game or does 1.1 update allow me to just continue with existing games prior to the update?

[topaz shale]

What is a good method when it comes to making factories, in general? I tried the build a new factory for bigger and bigger items and that worked for a while until I just got overwhelmed once I reached after trains. I'm determined to beat this game, that is for sure.

[sullen gull]

Also, yyou can either do a push pull/end to end style, or a loop. If doing a loop, it's advisable to run two rails parallel you each other instead of trying to do it with a single rail, with a loop back on to itself from the station. More important if you're using multiple trains as well.

[sullen gull]

My personal goals aren't to build as much as I can. I usually just build factories for an end item. Meaning I end up having each factory making all in needs on locations. Only things I ever really transport between factories are sometimes plastic/rubber, or aluminmun products. But again, it's stressed that this is YOUR game and it's best when you can form your own goals and paths that you would like to take. Build Big, Build conservatively, build only exactly what you think you may need to progress. There really is no right or wrong way to go about it imo.

[timber shoal]

are the used for anything other than the dimension depot

[sullen gull]

After MAM research, I don't believe so. Decoration? 😏

[topaz shale]

Yeah doing it this way definitely worked well for me and I might do this again for sure. I think I was just building too much too fast.

Also, is there a way to have near infinite amount of ? I think there is enough of them to be able to have nearly every buildable be transported to you just wasn't sure about end game stuff.

[sullen gull]

It's very easy to want to go crazy with buillds and challenges for sure. Quite a few in here are doing large builds where they, myself included, are building plants to utilize all the Bauxite on the map for instance. Or all the Uranium, SAM, etc. Things like that. Just about setting personal limits on yourself I'd say.

[topaz shale]

Yeah I think I'll just focus on getting through to the end first.

[golden zenith]

whats the difference between Synthetic Power Shards and the normal ones?

[sullen gull]

There are already quite a few in the game, probably more than enough for MAM research and a few DD's per item if wanted. Though really, probably the only item that 'should have' multiple DD's is concrete for building. Otherwise, you 'could' generate them for yourself using AGS or a save editor such as SCIM

[boreal musk]

same thing

[sullen gull]

One is made from slugs, the other from not slugs 😏

[marble socket]

The client Lord Gaben bestowed us with 🙂 (Steam)

[topaz shale]

Maybe on the save editing but I doubt I'll ever need to. Thank you for all these tips though! Coming from 600hours in Factorio, I really love this game. Just want to try to get through it better.

One more question: Which starting location is good? I tried the grassy area and the beginner friendly desert area and curious on how the others are.

[marble socket]

https://youtu.be/arFtIiUBga4 is a good one to watch if you're new 🙂

[sullen gull]

They all have thier merits. Though my personal choice is the Rocky Desert and setting up shop near the lake. But as others have said, the Northern forest is good for it's concentration of pure ore in close proximity, with a caveat of having to maybe think "outside the box" a bit more when it comes to building and logistics.

[marble socket]

Grassy Fields will always have a place in my heart, but man, I don't miss the miles of pipes stacked 5 high xD

[cursive crane]

Snutt talking about recommended difficulty in relation to starting areas.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rE78zEdKy8
tldr, higher difficulty starting areas harder to build/solve logistics, but usually have purer node access

[pseudo moth]

of course "outside the box" works until you unlock walls and all the foundations you want and then start boxing it in again lol

[marble socket]

I miss Snutt.... and Jace....

[sullen gull]

Hence the quotes 😏

[cursive crane]

me too
they still occasionally do streams/videos together if you check their personal channels 🙂

[topaz shale]

I might start in rocky field again. I really do like that area and it got me the furthest.

[marble socket]

At least we still got the easter egg 🙂

[exotic oak]

Why did i lose access the the experimental chat?

[sullen gull]

Because experimental is over.

[cursive crane]

no longer experimental to try

[swift kernel]

Hey, where's the modding server?

Anyone have a link for that?

[fossil ice]

Official Modding Discord

Learn all about modding and join the community here!
<3 @zenith pecan

[sullen gull]

Ask and ye shall recieve 😏

[minor whale]

stupid question is there a way to hang storage containers from the roof without placing flooring under them?

[swift kernel]

Huh.... That link isn't working on mobile. Thanks Discord

Wait I got it

[sullen gull]

Use the flooring as temp scaffollding. However, now that there is Z-nudge, you should be able to do it that way as well (If you're not one who rolled back to 1.0 that is)

[minor whale]

i figured i was hoping to avoid destroying half my place to accomplish this

[sullen gull]

Should be no need to 'destroy', though I havn't seen what you're working with. You never 'loose' anything in the game unless it's trashed. So laying down foundations/beams/pillars, etc, as scaffold and then deleteing later should be no issues.

Maybe outside of putting some items in your inventory that can't go back into a DD if full maybe.

[minor whale]

based off my height clearance i will

[zenith pecan]

I'm firmly caught up in 1.1, the first factory I have with the extractor fans in the ceiling is where my trigons are made 🤣

[sullen gull]

Also PSA: be sure to check the box ticked 'Take from inventory before depot' to help with inventory getting full during large builds

[sullen gull]

Though I know it would be a framerate killer for sure, I just wish the smoke/steam was more 'physics based' and the fans would actually pull it from a building 🤣

[zenith pecan]

The reason I didn't keep my old trigon factory was it used iron>ficsite which is horribly inefficientm I swapped it to burning 300 aluminium ingots.

[sullen gull]

Well but of course! I mean, you only have 12,300/min of them 😏

[zenith pecan]

12000 left for other things 😄

And still 2400 reanimated sam.

I'll make further decisions on what to do next after I get the 4800 steel out of the blue crater and into the dunes, then all the spire coasts oil.

[sullen gull]

I have all my belts finally ran for one side of mine. 12 'blocks' @ 500ingots each... Though, I now need to go and finally work on doing phase 4 so I can have mk6 belts so it runs fully.

@zenith pecan #screenshots message

[zenith pecan]

It looks like my actual stores of stuff will last until the factories are rebuild, the only one where I might run short could be alclad sheets, but that can be temp solved quickly by grabbing ingots from the refinery outputs.

One long refinery?

I went with five rows of 28 instead, it made it easier to enclose and light to boot.

[sullen gull]

Currently the plans. All the ingots produced along the outside feeding to the middle. two rows of 12 'blocks', 3 refineries/7 smelters giving 500/min. Willl still need one last 'node' to take in the last 300. Though, I think I am going to 'borrow' your idea and just make a block doing trigons. Once I get there that is 🤣

[zenith pecan]

The idea worked out ideally tbh, the "spare" 150 reanimated sam that didn't fit neatly into one of the four belts of 600, and the left over 300 aluminium ingots coming from the tiny refinery convert into 225 trigons for the depots (and sink) so I once again have all the trigons I could possibly need.

[sullen gull]

#screenshots message

Ignore most of the randomness in the middle. Those refiners were going to be making a ton of sheets, but realized I really don't need that many heatsinks 🤣

[zenith pecan]

Sheets can hapilly feed batteries if you wish to use them.

[sullen gull]

And still not sure about the "roof" I have on each BP also lol

[sullen gull]

Nah, using RF for drone fuel and the OC super computer recipie for Super computers.

Not sure why but it always annoyed me making batteries 🤣

[zenith pecan]

My old battery plant made 600, once I have everything else I want, I'll see if I can beat that.

[sullen gull]

This plant should also be 'self sustaining' as well since the RF plant in the center rear will be powering all of this. Disconnected from the 'main' grid 🙂

[zenith pecan]

Old battery factory shown here #design-and-architecture message

[sullen gull]

Heh, awesome as always 😏 Where/how do you get your music for your vids btw?

[zenith pecan]

I've got mountains of old chiptunes in the form of tracker files on a 20-30 year old archive here.

That battery factory wasn't the most annoying part, this damned wire factory was #design-and-architecture message , It took several mines to feed it (pre mk6 ofc)

[sullen gull]

HAH, Noticed a mis-colored foundation! 😏

Love the use of floor decals though 🙂

[vital bough]

does anything happen when you complete phase 5?

[sullen gull]

Amazing things

[zenith pecan]

The one on the ground floor, right hand side? that was fixed after the video was created.

[sullen gull]

Humanity is saved, the kittens are saved, and best of all, the puppies are saved! 😏

[sullen gull]

But other wise.. if you reeeeeeeeally want to know, You may be able to find some material in #story-spoilers 😏

[vital bough]

naw

i just hope the game doesn't end

the spaghetti must grow indefinitely

[cloud panther]

Is there a wall-running mod for satisfactory

[sullen gull]

You can think of the game like a sandbox for sure.

[sullen gull]

?

[vital bough]

splendid

[cloud panther]

I build these fantastic buildings and want to just parkour off them around the base.

[sullen gull]

Oh, haha, kinda figured that's what you meant. And I am not sure. Best bet would probably be to search SML or ask in the Satisfactory Modding discord. The link is there with just a short scroll up.

[cloud panther]

thanks friend

[sullen gull]

Why did I just here Rami Malek saying "Hello Friend" in my head 🤔

[zenith pecan]

Speaking of floor decals #screenshots message

[sullen gull]

Awwwwwwl yeah

[zenith pecan]

I started using those decals the moment they came out, they made factory floors actually look like factory floors, not slabs of concrete with stuff tossed in.

Hazard zones under the machines, perimeter markings, and numbers to identify rows, and hazards where lifts are as well as fencing those off.

[brisk veldt]

is anyone having the hover pack always flying up bug, too ?

[zenith pecan]

Did you open your inventory while climbing?

[brisk veldt]

no just building things

[sullen gull]

Wish me luck.... I am about to tear down all my starter spagehetti and build a 'smallish' plant doing everything up to 5.16/min Thermal rockets, 3.08/min assembly director sys, and 2 nuclear pasta/min #screenshots message

[zenith pecan]

Not had that, I have had it lock into climb mode when I opened my build menu etc solved by hitting space again after closing menu,

[brisk veldt]

yes that also happens from time to time

but that cant be the "standard" right?

[sullen gull]

And, what I mean by "smallish" : #screenshots message 🤣

[cloud panther]

IF you haven't mastered feathering your jetpack for building, are you really trying

[zenith pecan]

just a jammed input condition that is cleared by repeating the input.

[brisk veldt]

oh found a bug report from 3 years ago that says "open"

[sullen gull]

Never with the hover pack, though I get it quite a bit with AGS flight.

[brisk veldt]

aha

[zenith pecan]

I will build proper facilities again for the space elevator parts (not needed) in time, there is so much to build though and no rush 😄

[brisk veldt]

So this bug seems to be still in the game, weird ;-/

[sullen gull]

I am just tired of having the mess and not utilizing the resoureces at hand properly lol

[cloud panther]

Hey... where do I top off the oil on this thing

[zenith pecan]

Amen!

[vital bough]

ok so uhhh when i approach my factory, the audio starts stuttering, cuts out entirely, and then the game freezes

[cloud panther]

does this happen on any other game

[vital bough]

no, and it didn't happen before 1.1

[cloud panther]

Have you updated your drivers

[vital bough]

i tried the 1.1 beta and it happened before

[sullen gull]

What great is that, to build all of that, I can use everything around the lake in the rocky desert. With the exception of a train bringing quartz/sillica and rubber/plastic. And a drone bringing in alu parts.

[zenith pecan]

Before other solutions and shit, are you using a 13th or 14th generation intel?

[vital bough]

what drivers

[cloud panther]

I used to deal with UE6 crashing constantly, but my solution was to increase the power delivery to the GPU by 25%

Across the curve

[vital bough]

ryzen

[zenith pecan]

Rocky desert has quartz in a cave just below it, and oil to the southwest on the islands though.

[vital bough]

gosh

[cloud panther]

I can afford it. I'm only using half the capacity of the PSU's 1400W to keep the efficiency high.

[zenith pecan]

Alrighty np, I had to be sure you weren't reaping the fruits of Intel's clusterfuck, it might be a graphics driver issue, it's worth trying to update that if you haven't already.

[vital bough]

might as well

although

[sullen gull]

That cave isn't near the lake though. And I already have a rail coming from that canyon with the coal and the quartz nodes in the cave at the end. And also a rail coming from the a quick plant doing rubber/plastic. As for the quartz and oil you mentioned ..... (Sec, getting over there 🤣 )

[vital bough]

i am on linux so there's a million other possible problems

[zenith pecan]

Those oil islands are where my old backup power station was, I don't know what to use them for this game unless for a few hundred time crystals.

[zenith pecan]

I don't know nearly enough about linux to offer any decent assistance, though steams proton plays quite well with msot games afik.

[vital bough]

yeah it worked perfectly in 1.0

wonder if i can downgrade

[brisk veldt]

are you using pulsewire yet? 🙂

[vital bough]

the wha

[brisk veldt]

the sound system is chooesable in linux

[vital bough]

that sounds like a mix between pipewire and pulsesomething

[sullen gull]

I already brought all the oil over from the Spire coast and a rail out from that cave as well 🙂

#screenshots message

[brisk veldt]

ah lol sorry named it wrong

[sullen gull]

pulseaudio

[brisk veldt]

yes so it seems youre using it - for me the game works fine

[vital bough]

i'm using pipewire

[brisk veldt]

me too and proton-ge 10.4 with latest mesa drivers kisak

[vital bough]

i'll try a different proton

[brisk veldt]

and the new kernel due to the gaming improvements

[zenith pecan]

My spire oil is destined for the dunes again, a bit like this (the old one from last game) #math-and-meta message

[vital bough]

oh thanks

[vital bough]

those are some nice tunnels

[sullen gull]

A name well deserved for sure 🤣

[zenith pecan]

The end of that save had about 66km of tunnels.

[vital bough]

end?

[sullen gull]

Of that save* 😏

[vital bough]

ohno

[zenith pecan]

Here's a clip of a more modern tunnel section from my current save #screenshots message

[vital bough]

nice

[zenith pecan]

Much more detailed, power cables hidden, more belts and it's lit.

The amount of bauxite being moved through that junction is, err well, ... . . All of it!

[vital bough]

ok well i updated my system

lets see if that helps

[brisk veldt]

cool tunnels

add mk3 hypertube entrance and this rocks 😄

[vital bough]

i didn't even think about hypertube entrances having upgrades

i enjoy the scenery while waiting to get places

[brisk veldt]

its a mod but very cool possibilities with that 😆

[vital bough]

ah

[brisk veldt]

10x power of a mk1

[zenith pecan]

Does it match this old chestnut from my retired save #satisfactory-experimental message

[hybrid tulip]

Hey
I'm debating coming back to this game for 1.1 after enjoying 1.0 and a few runs in beta
If I do though, I want to make heavy use of trains. And... it's hard

[brisk veldt]

ow wow yea kind of like that but a little faster because it doesnt go through numerous jumps 😉

[sullen gull]

Lol, the music with it 🤣

[zenith pecan]

The old cannonway offered anywhere to anywhere in ten seconds or less, though alas, UE5 amplified performance issues with supersonic travel when the game save starts needing 40gb+ ram to load.

[wispy gulch]

is satisfactory playable on steamdeck?

[sullen gull]

The auto-connect made it a bit easier, and some other rail updates to I believe.

[hybrid tulip]

Factorio's trains are amazing, way better than lines of belts
Satisfactory's trains are... less than amazing. Exceedingly slow, draws electricity, a major pain to place the tracks... and the nail in the coffin is that if I change my factory's formula for a good, I now have to bring in different goods, a colossal pain in the rear
am I missing something? Are trains supposed to be so painful to use?

[sullen gull]

Yep

[zenith pecan]

It seemed like a good idea at the time 🤣

[wispy gulch]

ooh nice was about to go to a trip

haha

[brisk veldt]

absolutely nice, cool 🙂

[sullen gull]

Perfectly apt lol. Though, with the way things looked, yyou were stuck in a section forever and then popped out the other side 🤣

[zenith pecan]

The game engine couldn't render the travel so well, that was back in UE4.

[sullen gull]

I have not personally tried on mine yet, but others have said it works well.

[sullen gull]

Ahh, fair.

[zenith pecan]

I'm aiming to build teleports this time, the fun part is rebuilding a decent sing plant for running it.

[vital bough]

how do i make it show the full map? it seems to cover areas i haven't explored yet with black

[hybrid tulip]

Guess not

[zenith pecan]

Easier to lay down, that old cannonway innervated the map and took months to build.

[lucid pagoda]

is it possible to change the power pole that the cable defaults to when building?

[hybrid tulip]

Oh well. I'll keep an eye out for 1.2. Maybe they'll finally make trains better than belts then.

[lucid pagoda]

https://tenor.com/view/gandalf-keep-tongue-behind-teeth-gif-22558925

damn the channel for stoppin me

[hybrid tulip]

https://tenor.com/view/epic-embed-fail.jpg

Later

[dense violet]

Trains are great

[lucid pagoda]

exactly

and, they're cool

[hybrid tulip]

Satisfactory trains are cool but awful.
Factorio trains are great and cool.

If you think otherwise, that's fine. I'm not interested in debating you.

[vital bough]

still froze, let's try a different proton version

[lucid pagoda]

its fair, i mostly use em for how they look

[sullen gull]

There is an icon in the top right that will unhide the "fof of war"

[rough bolt]

Isn't there like a phase after Phase 4 that's like 1000 nuclear pasta?

[dense violet]

Factorio trains have to deal with variable production and consumption

Satisfactory trains run on static production and consumption

If you’re coming at this with factorio brain that’s your issue

[static dune]

i think planning bases is a lot easier in factorio as you get a much wider/further away view. in this game you gotta be fairly close, so everything is more compact

[vital bough]

thanks

[zenith pecan]

Also in satis, you can build multiple floors, my power station is a 20 floor beast.

[sullen gull]

Don't be fooled by the scale. Your pioneer is only 2~2.5m tall 😏

[static dune]

dang

[sullen gull]

Smaller than an input on a machine lol

[lucid pagoda]

anyone have an answer abt this?

[sullen gull]

Outside of putting that reqpestive power pole on your hot bar.

[dense violet]

Build from a mk2 pole and it’ll place mo2 poles

[sullen gull]

And the wire uses whatever pole you pull it from

[hybrid tulip]

Yeah, more or less what I expected for this discord

[static dune]

im so looking forward to mk2 poles. mk1 are so annoying >.< 4 connections?!

[sullen gull]

But, if pulling from say a machine or wall outlet, it defaults to mk1 and you can use e to cycle

[hybrid tulip]

just nonsense and elitism.

Goodbye.

[zenith pecan]

Here's a brief look #screenshots message

[vital bough]

#screenshots message

[lucid pagoda]

what're u even talkin bout? all i saw was comparisons, not criticism

[dense violet]

Using higher mk poles and sockets everywhere tends to spider web everything and make a mess. 1 socket to 1 machine tends to be easier

[zenith pecan]

The mk1 socket is one of my most used connecters.

[sullen gull]

Looks like you hid the buildings 😏 . Looks like pretty clean runs though

[static dune]

damn. pretty sure my laptop would explode with that many buildings in 1 area :p

[vital bough]

check the next screenshot haha

[sullen gull]

Haha, niiiice ... I retract previous statement a bit 🤣

[dense violet]

Am awful lot of people criticising SF boils down to ‘this isn’t factorio and that makes me angry’

Other than the concept of automation the games are completely different in design philosophy.

Like busses are just awful here but you keep seeing people try to shoehorn it in and bitch

[rough bolt]

I made a main bus

And I'm very happy with it.

It works wonderfully

[lucid pagoda]

yea, i just dont understand how a person can get so annnoyed about a little comparison

[sullen gull]

@vital bough Also, that SCIM is a decently awesome tool for editing the save as well. If you'd like. Though best used after more understanding and after first 'saving of the day' probably.

[vital bough]

my first playthrough will be vanilla, i think

[sullen gull]

It happens daily. There seem to be "purists" that get mad when this game is not the same as one they like (Factorio, DSP namely). They seem to feel that all automation games HAVE to have the same principles or something.

[sullen gull]

Which just got much better with Z-nudge and Infinite nudge in 1.1 imo.

[vital bough]

factorio doesn't allow quite as much spaghetti

[shy fog]

factorio had blueprints early on...

[sullen gull]

I mean .. kind of :https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Ft22ojhv46l921.png lol

[vital bough]

not very spaghetti

[shy fog]

to be fair we have josh's creation as the main page picture

[sullen gull]

But, much different build style as well with being top down and primarily grided as far as I remember

[lucid pagoda]

tbf tho, thats less spaghetti, more just condensed

[rough bolt]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/553550313533997057/1382528205713440778/image-41.png?ex=684b7b3a&is=684a29ba&hm=5d04daac73b7feaaabed4f0688ef598ac4db3c3ee2335932bc768134f593d6aa& I've always called it the Thingamajig, but I'm pretty sure it's a main bus

[sullen gull]

Comparatively no, but this game has 3 dimensions 😏

[vital bough]

yees

[ivory condor]

True, factorio also doesn't have soft clearance, which has only amplified this games spaghetti

[shy fog]

not much stops brains harder than the nuclear tornado

[lucid pagoda]

lord have mercy

[sullen gull]

Given discussion here before about the definition of a bus, I would have to agree lol

But, maybe more of a manifold perhaps🤣

[rough bolt]

I'm still gonna go with Thingamajig

[lucid pagoda]

thats not a manifold thats the manifold

[rough bolt]

I kinda want to design one that's more scalable

Like so I could add more belts to it.

[ivory condor]

I have built many of busses, but it seems this game it really doesn't make alot of sense, you benefit alot from decentralized designs as you scale up

[rough bolt]

But idk how I'd do that without completely redesigning it

[shy fog]

know what... I'ma gonna have to say it

Picture what Josh would create today?

there... it exists

[lucid pagoda]

oh no

[dense violet]

Is your main bus just a bunch of stacked belts?

[sullen gull]

Referring to the guy from Let's Game it Out right? Tornado spaghetti?

[limber lintel]

Curious about this, has anyone else encountered issues with hypertube branches where you can't change your direction? Im on a server with a friend and sometimes it'll give me the prompt and sometimes it wont.

[rough bolt]

They still have applications imo, like I absolutely needed a main bus here since there's so much locally that it's difficult to manage otherwise

[ivory condor]

Im certain if Josh comes back to this game it will be nightmare fuel

[rough bolt]

It's the 6 iron node location in the Northern Forest spawn.

[vital bough]

aw man

[rough bolt]

I have to handle 6 pure nodes of iron in one location...

[dense violet]

Because a bus is a bunch of mixed belts that machine take and put items back on.

Not just stacked bekts

[rough bolt]

Yeah that's what this is.

[ivory condor]

I only really get into main bus making in factorio but that's mainly because the mechanics it makes more sense

[rough bolt]

Not mixed belts, but separate belts refilling each other

[sullen gull]

I mean, they did post a screenshot ... smh

[rough bolt]

A main bus is just a bunch of manifolds 🗿

[ivory condor]

Especially when I get into things like mining from space platforms, that makes alot of sense to make main busses for, though because my drone army is really just moving the ores around it is kind of a weird setup

[dense violet]

That’s just stacked belts then, long regular manifolds

Buses, especially when talking about factorio, are mixed belts that have items taken off and put back on

[rough bolt]

Supplying an entire factory

[dense violet]

That’s just manifolds

[sullen gull]

🤦‍♂️

[dense violet]

A lot of them

[rough bolt]

You mean there'd have to be a bunch of manifolds next to each other with different items to be a main bus?

All parallel?

Because that's exactly what I did. I built a bunch of these, like one for copper, one for iron, one for coal

[vital bough]

ok well i tried 3 different proton versions, seems satisfactory is currently unplayable for me

[rough bolt]

And they run perpendicular to my factory.

Oh wait I know how I can scale my bus design

I can just scale it vertically

Basically just make a manifold of the manifold

Manifoldception.

[sullen gull]

Since we're being seemingly pedantic again, I am pretty sure that when every other person thinks of a 'bus' in this context, it is based from these two "text book" definitions: 5: A bus bar. 6: A parallel circuit that connects the major components of a computer, allowing the transfer of electric impulses from one connected component to any other. In that regard, EVERYONE ELSE, is correct in their terminology and usage.

Buuuuut anywho .... 😒

[swift kernel]

https://tenor.com/view/inception-deeper-go-deeper-we-need-to-go-deeper-leonardo-di-caprio-gif-16756828

[swift kernel]

I just think of a conveyor belt line that resembles a USB

If your parts don't fit, take it out and flip it over.

[verbal veldt]

This is what happens when people use the manifold too much. They start calling everything a manifold even when it's not.

[hard ivy]

First we'd need a precise definition of a manifold

[cloud panther]

Manifold has a definition.

[sullen gull]

Ask and ye shall recieve : manifold /măn′ə-fōld″/
adjective

Many and varied; of many kinds; multiple.
"our manifold failings."
Having many features or forms.
"manifold intelligence."
Being such for a variety of reasons.
"a manifold traitor."

😏

[verbal veldt]

We're cooked. 🧑‍🍳

[hard ivy]

A manifold is a topological space that locally resembles Euclidean space near each point. More precisely, an n-dimensional manifold, or n-manifold for short, is a topological space with the property that each point has a neighborhood that is homeomorphic to an open subset of n-dimensional Euclidean space.

[maiden jacinth]

a manifold is the thing you put in your factory

[sullen gull]

Lol, saw that one too 😏

[lucid pagoda]

opinions on my resource pathways? how could i make em look better (if need be) #screenshots

[sullen gull]

Lookin snazzy 🙂

[lucid pagoda]

ty, ty, i still have over double the conveyors to path but thats gonna be on the other side of my factory

[glossy iris]

Nothing quite as Satisfying as unlocking the boombox and Absolutely FICSIT and jamming to Tier 1

[finite saddle]

i goit the jetpack holy this is a life changer.

[jaunty slate]

where are photos from photo mode located?

[finite saddle]

probaBLY GO %appdata% and find the satisfactory directory and there will be a screenshots folder or smth

[sullen gull]

You can hit tab to bring up the menu and there is a button that will take you to the folder.

When in photo mode that is.

[jaunty slate]

oh, can't send screenshots on this chat

[sullen gull]

You'll want to still make some Liquid Bio Fuel to use until you get Rocket Fuel later and even more so with Ionized in very late game, You can use the other 'fuels', but they have a very short life and leads to a lot of 'Rut-Roh' moments 😏

[sullen gull]

#screenshots

[boreal musk]

ill just settle with rf first and then go to ionized when i unlock synthetic power shard

[dense violet]

No, the explicit difference is that machines pull from the belts abd put items back on so they are mixed

Like it’s fine to have a bunch of manifolds in the same spot but that’s not a factorio bus

And that’s what isn’t very good in this game

[pseudo moth]

I like the elevators but at the same time now I might rip up my fancy hypertube pseudo-elevators in my bigger factories.

Like, thanks CS for giving me elevators, but also curse you for making me want to replace existing infrastructure lmao

[dense violet]

I am, in fact, pretty enticing

[pseudo moth]

I built my hypertubes with these fancy panel-lit elevator setups in a test base, liked the result enough that I slapped it in three of my big factories via blueprints.

Now I gotta juggle if it's worth it to rip it out and throw elevators in lol

[desert kindle]

I need better time management playing satisfactory, I spent what felt like 15 minutes and it turned out to be over an hour lol

[static dune]

is there a way to delete things quicker or more things at once? like when you lay down 10 foundation, do you have to delete 1 by 1?

[static dune]

i think any factory game has that effect. also any civilization game. "Oh, it's daylight already? I just started playing!"

[pseudo moth]

well, they can have walls attached to them, so that's a plus for beautification.

[lapis pulsar]

hold cntrl to multiselect

[sullen gull]

Ooh, can they now? I haven't tried yet. Been ascared to use them due to random car that got stuck in my way lol.

[lapis pulsar]

is it just me or do the doors sound like super sick now?

[static dune]

ohhh, i love you! 😄

[lapis pulsar]

dumb question but where is the elevator 👉👈

[static dune]

that makes life so much easier. there are some things which should be explained ingame!

[lapis pulsar]

I can't find the elevator 😭

nvm found it

[sullen gull]

It's in the Aw..... cool 🤣

[lapis pulsar]

hiding in the shop..

it's too small for my base 😭

[cyan garnet]

I was kinda expecting it to be bigger tbh, but one foundation square works

I hope they add heavy elevators for vehicles later, that’d be rad

[lapis pulsar]

or the ability to made elevators wider

[zenith pecan]

I'd be happy if they made them taller.

[lapis pulsar]

how tall are your builds vro

[wicked marlin]

I'll literally never forgive ADA. If you know you know. If you don't, I'm not going to spoil anything for you.

[zenith pecan]

My power station towers are about 600 metres or so: #screenshots message

[sullen gull]

I mean, there are so many things though 🤣

[lapis pulsar]

cray cray, mine are an original build I did so they flat as (60 per side per floor or 240 over 2 floors only like 8 walls up)

[zenith pecan]

I'm on my way back to the power facility now to continue work on one of the byproduct facilities, that will push out 4800 steel, that's built on 4 floors.

[lapis pulsar]

why you even need allat

[zenith pecan]

That's only two nearby iron mines and the full byproduct of the facility worth of compact coal, I'll convert it all into a mess of motors frames sheets pipes and shit.

[zenith pecan]

Besides, my bauxite plant dwarfs the output, it processes like all the worlds bauxite.

[lapis pulsar]

I just wanna make my factory pwetty

[zenith pecan]

I've been known to build ever so slightly system crashingly large constructs.

[zenith pecan]

Amen to that, tbh our moderation team probably don't receieve nearly enough thanks for their on the spot spam nuking when they're at the computer 😄

So I'll say it here & now, Thankyou <@&387163995947270144>

[static dune]

oh there's no smelter mk2?! dang gonna be needing a lot of smelters then

[zenith pecan]

If you have enough power shards you can clock them up and double their throughput, but early-mid game you will need to farm the slugs for processing.

More than double, 2.5x max

I often just do double for easier number and machine management.

[static dune]

i'd forgotten about slugs. i only have 21 power things

i've explored very little. i want a big gun before i do more D:

[cosmic sand]

might be looking into this to much but im how can a machine make 7.5 iteam a min like is it going to make half a curcit board lol

[boreal musk]

no thats the cycle machine, it makes 7.5 every minute

[zenith pecan]

What weapon do you have available to you right now?

[boreal musk]

every 2 min you get 15 circuit boards

[cyan garnet]

It’s professor farnsworth in the “angry dome” but superimposed with the cupola from the ISS

[static dune]

i use rebar gun. its ok but i meet BIG pig things sometimes and they take a lot of damage

[dense violet]

… is that a serious question?

[outer pecan]

I can now make the ultimate spaghetti with the new curve mode for belts

[zenith pecan]

If you have the blueprint designer mk1, design a concrete combat shack you can shoot out of that restricts or blocks return attacks, it gives you a way to line of site ranged attacks and keeps melee way off, that rebar gun will happily kill pretty much everything, more so when you unlock the explosive rebars.

[static dune]

ooh explosive rebar!

[cyan garnet]

You need smokeless powder for explosive rebar FYI

[zenith pecan]

Sort of demonstration #satisfactory-experimental message , though I'm throwing bombs through the conveyor walls (ignore the bug report, its fixed)

[boreal musk]

ex rebar is really good for exploration, its just nobelisk but faster

i have them automated at 5/min rate, so i will always have enough

[static dune]

seems like a cheesy way to kill things, but it's either that or try to strafe them >.< and that can be painful

[zenith pecan]

This game is primarily a builder and explorer, not fps, if building something to fight from is cheesy, then hell yeah, go full on 🧀

[boreal musk]

the real cheesy way to kill big hogs is using 2 power pole next to each other making them stuck

[static dune]

i didn't realize how dang big the map is. i've explored so little

[boreal musk]

just give small gap, enough to not let them go though

and they will stay there forever

[ionic forge]

Handcrafting the space elevator

Who needs automation anyway

[pure venture]

When the factory is satisfactory

[zenith pecan]

Whoops, I messed up the logistics for an entire floor, oh well.

[bleak garden]

anyone know why using the arrow keys is moving my camera and how I can disable that

[static dune]

are you in photo mode or something? that's all i can think of

[bleak garden]

no im just trying to nudge buildings but its moving my entire camera which is frustrating and have no idea why

[static dune]

no idea then, sorry 😦 maybe try a restart of the game

[timber shoal]

does the nuke nobelisk have an actual use or is it just a meme?

cause it seems way too expensive when a bunch of cluster nobelisks accomplish the same objective of clearing a large area

[zenith pecan]

Just goes bang and makes a rad-haz, I prefer clusters to be honest.

[dense violet]

Just siphon like 0.25 u rods pm from your factory

[zenith pecan]

Or just sloop one cell manufacturer so you don't cut your fuel output.

<@&387163995947270144> ☢️ 💥 please

Thankyou!

[dense violet]

That argument assumes not slooping something is an opportunity loss 😛

Which you can take that position but I would strongly disagree

[zenith pecan]

Not so much, tbh I wouldn't sloop the nuclear setup due to the sheer size of the thing, but one machine with even just one sloop will add the trickle of spare cells without impacing the whole drive 252 reactors thing.

Assuming ofc someone wants max uranium reactors.

Most don't

Once I finish cleaning the map of slugs, highly likely heh, I'll get a sloop back from a constructor that I use for processing slugs.

[sleek crow]

how do you unlock rifle ammo?

[rough bolt]

That's a sushi belt

[dense violet]

Look at it this way. Any amount of fuel rods can be the amount of rods that can be trickled into bombs. You don’t lose anything if you’ve planned around it.

Sure you don’t want to siphon already working system but that’s true of anything

[dense violet]

All busses are sushi belts, but not all sushi belts are busses

[zenith pecan]

To me, the nuclear explosives are a side show and low prio, not the power, so I'd maybe use a sloop, maybe not, but I plan around using alll the uranium again.

If I don't make sense atm, blame the vodka and that its near 0500, I should be asleep.

[dense violet]

As mentioned a number of times the difference is many mixed belts that have items BOTH taken on and off, throughout the factory and generally blended together into a loop that goes around and around

[flat patio]

anyone else having a bunch of array index out of bounds crashes?

error says "assertion failed" at the start

[cyan garnet]

In the MAM

seems to be happening more frequently since last update

[cyan garnet]

Maybe start a thread in #1038092680493801533 w the full crash log and see if someone knows something

Whole lotta crashes reported there since 1.1 so it’s possible someone else has already run into it

[fathom shuttle]

Hi
Can someone help me with my coal power plant?

[white dawn]

You can get help in here, sure, though it's often better to post a thread in #1038092680493801533 . Can embed images and such over there, and the conversation is less likely to get buried

[fathom shuttle]

I have a mk1 miner (extract 120/min) that feeds a mk2 belt
This is connected to 6 coal generators, 1st one is overclocked by 50%
So total coal consumption should be less than 120/min
only the first 3 coal power plants work, the rest turn on and off

I feel like there is something really obvious that I’m missing

Is it the splitters?

[fathom shuttle]

My question is pretty basic so idk, but I’ll try if I don’t get an answer

[boreal musk]

posting image is easier to torubleshooting

[boreal musk]

water? are the coal gens getting enough water?

[dense violet]

Post overhead images in #math-and-meta

It’s probably the water though

[white dawn]

Yeah, for setups which involve pipes especially, images are super useful

[fathom shuttle]

Yes they are, I checked every line and it’s full, plus I have a couple of fluid buffers that are full

Issue is coal

[dense violet]

Delete the buffers, and provide overhead images in a channel that takes them

It’s very very very hard to diagnose things w/o images and often trivially easy with them

[wet juniper]

anyone else get bugged in the hoverpack? and it just yeets you to the sky? lol

[kindred echo]

anyone else have troubles with searching for an item and it pulls up a menu associated with a key press

[ivory condor]

All I know is it seems to be one of the more common crashes that i see get posted about alot.

[vernal patrol]

i had that bug, restarting the files (ie exit to menu and load) fixed it

[ivory condor]

Still no idea what the cause is, beyond the obvious engine is trying to access a array index that is out of bounds

[flat patio]

its happening more and more frequently as time goes on

I am considering getting my friend's save sent over and opening the game in a debugger, not my first time fixing this kind of thing

[ivory condor]

Not sure how a debugger is going to help you identify issues in compiled assembly code, but sounds fun either way

but there should at least be some information in the crash call stack either way

I gave up trying to understand this main bus discussion already🙃

[worn bolt]

are people having issues recently with multiplayer (non-dedicated server) and people joining after the update? even with just 2 players?

[fathom shuttle]

6 (or 8-12 once I unlock mk2 miner) coal power plants should be enough until I can unlock oil right?

[rough bolt]

8 is the magic number, nice ratios with 8

[dense violet]

It’s a bunch of manifolds.

I have explained this to you a number of times now the differences in what they are. You can call a cow a truck for all I care. Good luck

[rough bolt]

Main bus is just a bunch of manifolds

[ivory condor]

this discussion🙃

[rough bolt]

https://discordapp.com/channels/370472939054956546/553550313533997057/1382581603653390447 This is a main bus

In factorio

It's functionally the same

[ivory condor]

All I see is belts ok🙃

[dense violet]

Some people think that a group of belts is called a bus. Even after several very explicit key differences.

A group of belts that are just manifolds don’t behave any differently whether they are stacked together or miles apart.

No idea why they try to call them something else

[outer pecan]

in what situations would the priority merger be useful

[rough bolt]

https://discordapp.com/channels/370472939054956546/553550313533997057/1382582561305399336 Another main bus

This one has a load balancer on it

There's ones that have load balancers, and then ones that have more of a manifold design. I prefer the manifold design.

[dense violet]

Realistically? None. There was really no system you couldn’t build before without them

Some people argue feeding containers into a packaging system? Though I could see that backing up

[ivory condor]

I like belts ok

[frank python]

How to get satisfactory 100% off

[dense violet]

You can ‘love’ belts as much as you like 😛 but having 2 or more belts in a factory doesn’t make a bus 😛

[ivory condor]

I never said anything about a bus or what it was😛

[dense violet]

I know, I’m just continuing to point out what busses arent 😛

[ivory condor]

Anybody want to hear my theory of what I think a main bus is, do I dear👀

[rough bolt]

What do you think it is?

[ivory condor]

Well I think a main bus would be something that takes end finished products and puts them onto a very long section of belts, this can then be grabbed to continue production into higher tiers of production in other factories, also it needs to be a central location, why I would call it a main bus, because its a bus for items and its a "main", though you could have multiple main busses as long as they serve the same functions

[rough bolt]

That would mean that a main bus for like ore wouldn't be a main bus, because they're not finished products, even if it functions exactly like a main bus

[ivory condor]

Well traditionally yes, as ores aren't really useful until they are processed, those they aren't typically considered for what a main bus usually is

[dense violet]

So every single factory with more than 1 manifold?

[ivory condor]

I really shouldn't have gotten involved in this discussion👀

[dense violet]

My main issue is that people will call any system with more than one manifold a ‘bus’, and it’s very silly

Not even that a bus as described within factorio is a thing on its own, but that there’s no point in the other definition

[ivory condor]

Well my definition was basically factorio needless to say

Also main bus is a thing in foundry to, if you want to get into that discussion to

[rough bolt]

Send a picture of what you think a main bus is then

Versus what is not.

[dense violet]

Exactly that’s why it’s silly.

I don’t care if there’s a satisfactory definition of bus and a factorio definition.

That sort of thing happens all the time.

But having satisfactory definition be ‘2 or more belts kinda near each other’ is so pointless

because that describes almost every single factory.
hell, an assembler manifold that isn't sushi fed is 'a main bus' going by that definition

[ivory condor]

I knew this discussion wasn't going to go anywhere good

[fathom shuttle]

Does sliding then jumping make me go faster or is it my imagination

[steady cedar]

It does

[dense violet]

you got it defined for you like 3 times. That's all you get. the definitions were explicit. Go re read them

but you'll have to do better than '2 or more belts make a bus'

[fathom shuttle]

Yea it feels really floaty

[dense violet]

floaty?

[steady cedar]

Less gravity i guess

[fathom shuttle]

Once you gather momentum

[dense violet]

oh, I suppose? but yeah it's a really good boost

sprint slide jump with blade runners + jet pack. Best way to get around

[steady cedar]

You keep momentum better in air so with jetpack and enough speed you can zoom till you touch the group

[rough bolt]

You say that like you're the end all be all God of definitions, and as if I'm saying '2 belts make a bus' which isn't what I'm saying

[charred spoke]

How much power does one 250% rocket fuel generator produce?

[steady cedar]

They all produce the same amount just how long the fuel lasts changes

[rough bolt]

It's a series of belts with mixed items going into a main factory, that literally fits your definition of a main bus. They're just spaced out a bit to look cleaner and have some walking space. The only thing that doesn't match your definition is that things aren't put back ON to the bus, which I really feel like isn't necessary for it to be a main bus

[steady cedar]

625MW on max clock speed

[charred spoke]

Thank you, my brain for some reason couldn’t understand what it was generating

[rough bolt]

Because if you look at all the examples of main busses online, literally everybody but you will say it's a bus even if it doesn't have items going both directions.

[dense violet]

the difference between all the fuels is extra processing to extend burn time and/or expand volume of fuel. You're basically just converting the other ingredients into more oil every step

[rough bolt]

Are you telling me that you alone, against the entire playerbase of all production games, are right, and everyone else is wrong, about a definition, something that is decided by it's actual use by the majority of people?

I mean, it's a shit definition, because people will literally call a series of belts a bus as long as they're primarily parallel with each other and primarily perpendicular to the factory so they are orderly and can be scaled up. THAT'S a better definition for a bus. Those are like the two key characteristics for something to be a bus. Everything else is just superfluous.

[ivory condor]

And this why I stay away from definitions, besides its all belts

[rough bolt]

Well, a bunch of disorganized belts aren't a bus. Even organized belts that go in all directions isn't a bus either.

[ivory condor]

I like belts🙃

[peak wasp]

So bad idea for you

[cloud halo]

i return again

[ivory condor]

Fine I shall just hand craft as its intended

[peak wasp]

You can double the amount of fuel you get from plants with sloops...so you double it twice

[rough bolt]

#screenshots message here's an example of NOT a bus imo, this is just fucking incomprehensible belt spaghetti in a rectangular shape

[peak wasp]

Because you can double plants into biomass and then double biomass into solid biofuel...then double it again in the refinery for liquid biofuel

[ivory condor]

I'm imagining what i would do with double rocket fuel production. I would have over 16k rocket fuel if I doubled it

[peak wasp]

So would that mean I get six times the liquid biofuel

[west eagle]

Correct me if I'm wrong. Can the game theoretically ask steam for user's birthday and personally give that guy a birthday helmet?

[elder apex]

so you are saying that 2 * 2 * 2 is 6?

[peak wasp]

Actually fuck its 8 times

[elder apex]

it's that "new" math

[peak wasp]

2 x 2 = 4 x 2 = 8

[ivory condor]

Lets see what to do with over 26 mk2 pipes all full of rocket fuel

You know if I had enough sloops I could easily 4x the amount of rocket fuel i have and have over 32k rocket fuel🚀

Over 53 mk2 pipes full of rocket fuel, that would be alot

[dense violet]

crash the game because the pipe/pump glitch still exists?

[west eagle]

Guys. I've just recently decided to come back to the game, can anyone verbally introduce me to the new stuff they added in 1.1?

[dense violet]

the videos about 1.1 in #announcements would probably do that

also probably #patch-notes

[west eagle]

Didn't really help. Is elevator bought in the ticket boot or a hub research?

[spark ruin]

I especially hate defining Bus

[pastel harness]

🚌

[spark ruin]

Everyone seems to have a different concept of it

[peak wasp]

BEHOLD MY ABOMINATION

I brought it back

using liquid biofuel as a power source

[green fiber]

Most of the new buildable stuff is in the shop, some is in the MAM

And than "some" is only the priority splitter i think

[west eagle]

Thanks

[peak wasp]

#screenshots message

[glossy iris]

The freecam is so nice for scouting

Send up a little drone for you to look around with...

[ivory condor]

🚐

[glossy iris]

Only problem is sloops dont render at distance like mercer spheres...

[peak wasp]

honestly it works decently well

I sloop everything so it x8's everything I put in

[glossy iris]

Its hard to scout for sloops with the free cam though because they're not rendering lol mercer spheres do for whatever reason just not sloops

but its okay its what the item finder is for

[boreal musk]

its a really good feature to view your factory before unlocking hoverpack

[spark ruin]

Ugh

♻️

[peak wasp]

Honestly the good ol liquid biofuel fuel generator combo is doing great

[fathom shuttle]

I’m making 120 steel Ingot per minute how should I split them up

[reef basin]

Keep them until you know how much of one of the products you need

[boreal musk]

easier to manage resources if you plan from end product

for ex, how much steel beam you want per min and then how much steel ingot it needs

[peak wasp]

Okay I did the math

3,750mw out of just picking plants

At a cost of about 550mw so 3200mw of spare power

[eager oar]

Oh man, I just found out how to get the elevator (awesome shop) and I tried it out. It's quite nifty! 😉

They upgraded the constructor animation, instead of the black block teleporting to the side and clipping into the arms it actually moves there smoothly

Immaculate attention to detail

you can make blueprints higher than the blueprint designer using zoop mode..

but you can only exceed the borders once, you cant add anythin to th piece that pokes out

[plucky plank]

whats the best place to make my first coal energy farm if im in the oasis of dune desert (i just got coal milestone)

but is there a good spot close by

is doing it in the ocean on the right of dd good

or can u not place stuff there

there is an ocean

on the right of the oasis

check dms ill send u ap ic

[mint mirage]

anyone else having an endless cloud syncronising on epic today? cant play the game

[reef basin]

near coal and water (and we don't have farming, we only have factories)

[plucky plank]

woopsie

its cos i used to play this roblox game when i was a kid that was like satisfactory and skyblock combined and it was called farms in there

is factorio better than satisfactroy

[reef basin]

yes

if only controls can be rebound

I use the practically default ones without an issue

[lament niche]

careful you can get banned for badmouthing color named users

[sterile blade]

@ivory condor See any of the "performance improvements" mentioned by #patch-notes?

[ivory condor]

No, in some saves it's infact worse now

[sterile blade]

Also no mentions of Programmable Splitters

[ivory condor]

Well....between the bugs, crashs and worse performance, this 1.1 is just perfect

[boreal musk]

what part of oasis? theres east and west part of oasis

[plucky plank]

im just on the bottom right of the main large lake

right next to the pure iron and limestone

[boreal musk]

go to north east bit, you should be able to find 2 pure coal node there, and dont forget to scan the coal

altho you might need to do some belt to bring the coal to the oasis

[plucky plank]

ive connected those 2 and brought them down to the ocean on the right of me

[boreal musk]

as long as theres enough water, youre good

[plucky plank]

alr

how many coal generators can one pure node power at max efficiency

[boreal musk]

check the coal gen intake, how much coal it consume?

you can check it via the exclamation mark on top right of the input slot

[plucky plank]

mining rate of 15 needed

so that 8 gens

[boreal musk]

yes, and you can also check the water intake on the bottom part of it

[plucky plank]

aight

thankyou

@boreal musk if i produce 120 coal a minute but im using mk1 conveyeres with 60 a minute s hould i merge the coal miner instantly to 2 conveyors for 60/60

[boreal musk]

you need a higher belt tier to bring more than 60/min

[plucky plank]

yeah so should i merge the miner into to 60/min = 120 min

[boreal musk]

you cant, merger doesnt do anything

[faint jacinth]

When is satisfactory coming to console ?

[boreal musk]

it will still limited by mk1 speed

[plucky plank]

but wouldnt having 2 lines of 60 transport 120 resources at 100% efficiency

[boreal musk]

you can use mk2 belt infront of the miner and then use splitter to turn it 2 belt of 60

[plucky plank]

alr

[ember locust]

so the worse performance is a known thing with 1.1 now ? cause i thought i was going crazy

[ivory condor]

Well i have known about it since 1.1 ex, not sure how well known it is though

[ember locust]

i play on a laptop by no means built to play this game so i usually hover around like 15 or so fps with parts going so hot and my fans sounding like they have whooping cough (obviously exaggerating but . . ) but i still find a way to play even if it has to be the lowest of the graphics settings possible

but now the fps has dropped so low that some inputs are not registered. unforch that makes the game functionally unplayable for me now

so after waiting for 1.1 im gonna have to wait some more until something is addressed jrnfdfdnjfdnj

[leaden turret]

had you played on 1.0 / 1.1 ex without issue?

[ember locust]

i played 1.0 without problems, 1.1 is giving my laptop a heart attack, but both on stable versions only, i dont play experimental

[fathom shuttle]

Yea I figured I’d do 2 steel pipes 1 steel beam factory since I don’t need them in large quantities once I unlock hub upgrades, I’ll use the excess for versatile frameworks

[leaden turret]

best to try experimental when it's available so you know in advance if you're going to have issues so you can report them before release.

have you checked you're using the same rendering engine as with 1.0 in case 1.1 has a different default?

[ivory condor]

Not surprised unfortunately, performance has regressed compared to 1.0 for whatever reason

[fathom shuttle]

I ran into a new issue after I started building the factory though 💀 not enough power

[leaden turret]

it's currently wishlistable on the xbox and playstation storefronts, so you can get notified when it's available.

[fathom shuttle]

What’s your laptop

[fathom shuttle]

Yea it sucks, I’m really excited for a console port since I’m forced to play it on my iPad right now

[ember locust]

this might sound dumb but i wasnt sure if it'd make sense for me to test and report performance issues since my laptop wasnt built to run this game anyway . . . does that makes sense 😭 or should i be reporting issues anyway

[fathom shuttle]

What are your specs

[leaden turret]

check in #1038092680493801533 for similar perf issues with your laptop in case anyone else has found a workaround

[ember locust]

samsung notebook 7 spin iirc, let me get my specs

[fathom shuttle]

Go to system information and take a screenshot

[glossy iris]

Me: Am I insane for rushing the rifle before tier 2
Also me, being chased by eight spiders and four cliff hogs: actually I think I'm perfectly sane

[fathom shuttle]

But i assume it’s on integrated graphics, so terrible performance is expected

[leaden turret]

🏃‍♀️

🏃‍♀️‍➡️

[leaden turret]

tolerable performance on 1.0 and pants performance on 1.1 is an indication of something going wonky

[fathom shuttle]

He is gonna need to downgrade to 1.0 and see if the issues preside

[glossy iris]

I mean I wouldnt have been in trouble if I wasnt out hunting for crash sites that have rubber to begin with but--

[boreal musk]

even if you unlock rifle, you need smokeless powder to craft the ammo, which is locked behind tier 5 and i dont think i ever find them in crash sites

[glossy iris]

You can buy the smokeless powder and ammunition in the shop

[ember locust]

not sure whats important and my device username is sprinkled around so ill just grab a couple things:

• Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 3500U with Radeon Vega Mobile Gfx, 2100 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)
• Installed Physical Memory (RAM): 8.00 GB

[ivory condor]

Yes, because im well within this games specs and have seen performance issues as well, so it isn't just you

[boreal musk]

oh yeah, i forgot about awesome shop, been a while since last time i touch the resources tab

[glossy iris]

Unfortunately shatter rebar sucks at dealing with spiders 😔 otherwise it'd be perfect

[ivory condor]

Also because I know its specifically causes 1.1, tested some saves in 1.0 and it doesn't have the performance issues, so I know for a fact it's a problem with 1.1

[boreal musk]

you'd have easier time using default rebar ammo dealing with spider than shatter

[random frost]

guys i have a question

[ember locust]

i really dont mind the awful fps sometimes tbh, sure it'd be REALLY nice to enjoy this game with smoothness and the beauty of high graphics but being able to play at all is often enough for me

i just take a big issue with 1.1 now because the fps is interfering with the game reading my inputs and forcing me to click or press keys twice for things to register

[glossy iris]

Ah I need steel pipe to make the rifle =A= time for another expedition

[random frost]

if i have 2 or more coal generators and i connect both of them to the same
power pole, will i have over 100 electricity in that pole?

[boreal musk]

as long as theyre at the same connection, yes

[fathom shuttle]

Oh you’re 90% running out of ram

[random frost]

wdym?

[fathom shuttle]

Toggle the msi afterburner overlay and monitor your usage

[ember locust]

the who what

[boreal musk]

youre connecting both coal gens into same power grid, no?

[random frost]

yes

[fathom shuttle]

Install msi afterburner, it’s a software that displays your performance stats

[ivory condor]

No real solution besides going back to 1.0 unfortunately.

[random frost]

so more electricity :)))

[boreal musk]

then exactly as you said, 2 coal gens means you have 150MW in your power grid

[fathom shuttle]

You can connect all everything on the same grid btw, there are no transmission losses in this game

Took me a minute to figure that out

[random frost]

k

[ember locust]

can i know whats next after that? i dont really wanna install new software just to tell me my specs are whack fnjdfnj sorry

[boreal musk]

theres no transfer limit in power pole, you can have a whole 1 terawatt in a single power pole

[fathom shuttle]

You edit some settings in the software, so it can show your cpu, gpu memory utilization then that’s it. Everything related to performance should be clear

[ivory condor]

Best i can tell buildables are less optimized in 1.1 now, though it would take more testing to determine how many of the different buildables are less optimized. The only one I know certain is the signs

[boreal musk]

one thing i noticed when testing 1.1 exp is the frequent crash

never had one in 1.0

[fathom shuttle]

I’m playing with 40fps, with GI on high

It’s ok, though the graphics are definitely not polished

[ember locust]

ooh i can give a new start a try to see if it's what i built that's choking my laptop (but i dont build that much anyway so maybe not)

[tidal pagoda]

dam I saw 1.1 release soon and got reminded I have game on wishlist and bought it to try on 1.1 update and all I've been seeing so far is new issues with it 🥹

[boreal musk]

just hope for patch notes soon

[ivory condor]

Its possible, depending on how many of the builables are being impacted by the optimization problem, I know for certain signs are

[fathom shuttle]

What’s wrong with 1.1? I’ve honestly had 0 issues when it comes to bugs

[spice patio]

Week until studio heads out for summer vacation AFAIK.
For some reason they wanted to get 1.1 out to stable before that, and not after...

[tidal pagoda]

just see repeated comments both here and on reddit about performance regressions and way more crashes

[spice patio]

Mainly MP issues, and BP issues.

[fathom shuttle]

Wait what build are you guys on? I’m on v1.1.1.0

[spice patio]

Lot of those are Nvidia driver issues.

[fathom shuttle]

Oh, I haven’t tried MP

[spice patio]

572.x and 576.x Nvidia drivers are a mess.

[tidal pagoda]

not super keen on starting a playthrough as I planned it with a friend with a dedicated server (so also MP issues), and we'd prefer not to run into performance issues either

[spice patio]

And the current latest Nvidia 576.52 drivers cause crashes on some of the GPU models in Satisfactory, which earlier 576.x didn't mostly do.

[fathom shuttle]

Just refund tbh

I got it in a bundle for $15, so you should probably look at that bundle once you buy again

[tidal pagoda]

ah yea already did, but that's because I ran into an even worse issue right away (game doesn't have hardware cursor) so it's back to wishlist to grab sometime later that's fixed, though not holding out on that since I saw it's been acknowledged years ago now but seen as a minor issue

[ivory condor]

Yeah sorry, this 1.1 release isn't really the stable release I wanted to see either.

[tidal pagoda]

happens, hoping for improvements in later patches

[ivory condor]

Still not sure why the devs felt the need to push this to stable, it obviously needs more time to cook

[spice patio]

And the state of 1.1 Exp when it coming to Stable was announced was the reason why I really didn't expect them to push it out just before going onto vacation...
Because of all the dangers of leaving significant amount of players to not have playable version for their vacation.

[fathom shuttle]

Is it okay to keep my max power consumption above my production levels?

[spice patio]

Depends, can cause a power trip if things align.

[ember locust]

i better find a way to revert to 1.0 or I . might just be doomed

[ember locust]

this is some crazy UI damn

[spice patio]

Or just use "stat fps" and "stat unit" ingame commands?

[fathom shuttle]

Fitgirl

[spice patio]

I know how to do that on Steam, but because 1.0 and 1.1 cannot be run without Steam, the files 1.0 need to be placed into normal install location, you need to be very careful around updates.
As Steam deploying 1.1 delta patch over 1.0 install will break everything.

[fathom shuttle]

Game doesn’t show ram consumption or utilization

[ember locust]

if im being completely honest i dont know where to see that here either

[spice patio]

Might need to write instructions for that downgrade on Steam and post in QaH section...

[fathom shuttle]

Just watch a YouTube video, it takes 5 minutes to set up

[ember locust]

i feel like one wrong button click and im gonna set my laptop on fire . .

[ivory condor]

Hopefully i know they want to do another engine upgrade, it could be why this stable branch seems particularly rough, its possible they don't want to do repeat work, depending on how soon they want to do the engine upgrade

[spice patio]

And both AMD and Nvidia drivers already include performance overlays?
And Windows Game Bar does that too.
So why third party OC program just for that?

[fathom shuttle]

Just don’t touch the overclocking options

[ember locust]

oh thank you for reminding me the game bar exists

[vocal tide]

Hello, the 1.1 exp was stable until the latest version that crashes a lot

[burnt ferry]

no

[spice patio]

Make #1038092680493801533 thread, include the crash report as text (attachment)

[burnt ferry]

was stable all the way.. except for truck shenanigans... but thats not exclusive to the last experimental version

[vocal tide]

What's the problem with trucks?

[burnt ferry]

i had a few crashes while messing with them paths

[reef basin]

that people somehow think they have to build roads for them

[fathom shuttle]

Meh tbh I’ve never used anything other than msi afterburner

[burnt ferry]

and the pathfinding itself also seemed to be bugged,

[fathom shuttle]

It’s all in package, why would I use anything else yk

[ember locust]

yeah i dont think it can tell me anything the other tools i already have dont already

[burnt ferry]

no this is about the experimental branch where there was real bugs with them trucks

[vocal tide]

Hire truckers

[wide hedge]

is the hypertube branch only spliting to the left ?or am i missing something?

[burnt ferry]

press e

like on train branches

[spice patio]

Turn it around with mouse wheel while building after first click.

[wide hedge]

ah lol facepalm xD

[fathom shuttle]

How do I remove the big rocks from coal deposits?

[burnt ferry]

ah exiting while building... use the junction 😂

[spice patio]

That whole free orientation is why it isn't a or d to switch like trains, but e to toggle.

As it was much easier to implement.,

[burnt ferry]

i want a game where you can build factoriesl like in satisfactory, then there will be players who will transport goods, like in truck simulator and then there will be players managing the network from the big picture perspective like in transport fever... all in one game... in fact meanwhile we could include the super market simlulator, drug dealer simulator etc. to abring life to them cities

then i could hire truckers for real

[burnt ferry]

? the toggle is from the fact that no matter from where you enter, there will always be only 2 exits... on a single train branch thats not different, regardless of free orientation

also #screenshots

[spice patio]

Lot of people have asked for hold type input with WASD, because that E toggle in previous section is problem in guided hypertube cannons and if there are multiple junctions in close proximity.

[burnt ferry]

ah.. so you mean in buildings not standardized by ficsit?

[glossy iris]

[burnt ferry]

ye.. more mobility would be dope

[rapid wren]

it would definitely alleviate the boredom of traveling through the jungles and mountains so many times.

[compact crane]

I'm new to the game and have a question. What is the best/or a good way to transport resources such as quartz or SAM out of a cave (the cave near the beach in the rocky desert at the northwest corner)
Should I just make a 5km conveyor belt? I've tried it with the car transporter, but it's too rocky. I haven't unlocked the train yet, so I don't know if it can go into the cave. What should I do?

[glossy iris]

Homing ammo my beloved

[burnt ferry]

find yourself an easy to access area close by and build your preprocessing facility/transportation station there

[rapid wren]

belts are fine, i suggest making a belt tower so you can expand capacity in the future

[glossy iris]

Now all I gotta do is somehow find a rocket hog and my tier 1 will be finished

[burnt ferry]

just yesterday i watched a video from totalexclsipse or whatever 😂 who build an off shore oilrig in the sea.. pretty inspiring

[compact crane]

thanks, a belt tower is a great tip

[burnt ferry]

as long as its only one kind of material.. without smart splitters you can only carry one thing in belts and even with smart splitters you will be limited by throughput very fast, rendering all belts including late game ones to be kinda one type material only.. theres mixed belts but those are rather special.. hence id look into setting up proper transportation route instead of encasing the planet into a cage of belts

transportation also allow you to overproduce without worrying as the train or trucks will only load what was unloaded before, so you can have buffers safe from overflowing and blocking

[spice patio]

Ok, almost done with "How to get and use Satisfactory 1.0 if you own it on Steam" instructions.
Just need to wait for download to finish so I can see what message Steam gives once the download is complete.

[latent kite]

@fathom shuttleyou need nobelite charges to blow the boulders. sulfur minung required

[rapid wren]

most of my factories are connected by belt towers, trains are incredibly large and impractical. i think belts used to be a problem before they got optimized.

trains are no doubt great to traverse incredible distances with incredible volumes.

as long as foundations do not work with blueprints well, i won't be spanning the world with anything but power towers for fun. i stick to one area

i feel you 💀 i learned way too late that crouching disables the parachute. i'd drop down and whilst hovering i could go end world hunger and solve climate change, and still come back to myself still floating down

[midnight fog]

crouching disables parachute now?

[ember locust]

i dont know about previous versions but ive been able to do it since i figured it out in 1.0

[spice patio]

Double-pressing crouch has always disabled parachute, hoverpack, fly-mode etc.

[midnight fog]

yeah but you can still crouch will parachuting?

[ember locust]

i . . dont think so

[tame vortex]

Hello to all! Small player of satis, I ask you if of course you wish it, to be able to send to me your factories, so that I can see how you make, don't say not byourself please lol, thank you with you, if possible Foundry, Builder, and Drill thank you with you

[ember locust]

not that you'd have much use for it anyway

[midnight fog]

you do have use for it, it doesnt set off the flying bees

forgot what theyre called

[ember locust]

crab hatchers?

[midnight fog]

ye

[ember locust]

i mean you can still land far enough away and crouch from there. guess that'd be hard for the ones on walls though

i usually just use the rebar gun to snipe them lol

[midnight fog]

also why did i say flying bees as if bees dont fly lol? dont mind me

[ember locust]

if i do it quick enough i can kill them right before they spawn crabs but it's not always guaranteed. just a day in my life without a rifle 💔

speaking of the rifle, does anyone use the turbo rifle ammo? cause ive tried it out in creative before and its.. hard to adopt to say the least lol

game is not starting up

[true mulch]

then make a #1038092680493801533 post and explain it in detail

what platform, what happens when you run it, what are your specs

[dry basalt]

@glossy iris a small tip, use somersloops on the constactors to double(or even x4) the biofuel from the same ammount of wood and leaves

[glossy iris]

Oh don't worry, every constructor there has sloops in them

one side is being fed by wood, another is being fed by alien remains

I collected A Lot in my travels

[dry basalt]

lol I use the dead aliens(x4 with somesloops) to farm points

[glossy iris]

that's the plan later, but I don't need decorative blocks yet

I have enough alien remains to last me multiple hours of production time

[compact crane]

what's the difference between miner mk1 and 2?

[dry basalt]

x2 production from the same node purity

and to add powershards as well, is a great idea

[boreal musk]

twice the extraction rate of previous miner

[compact crane]

thanks

[boreal musk]

100% for mk1
200% for mk2
400% for mk3

[urban fossil]

Holy smokes. I just realized you can actually bhop in the game now. o-O

[junior laurel]

You can also get banned for bad mouthing anyone for that matter, comes under the rules about respecting one another.

[granite pasture]

Yo noob @junior laurel I see you 😂

Do we only have 1 size of catwalks?

[fathom shuttle]

Shouldn’t take too long

I need to wait for reinforced iron plates to build up anyway

[past torrent]

big suggestion: set up like 10+ ri plates stably and afk over night

stably? make sure power doesnt drop

idk if stably is a word

[fathom shuttle]

Let me introduce your to a guy called screws

[past torrent]

screws are fun

[cobalt lodge]

and hard to manage

[glossy iris]

imagine not using stitched plates

[past torrent]

but completely useless once you get alternates

[glossy iris]

<not me I use bolted plates

Actually wait no I don't I forgot that recipe is doodoo

[green fiber]

Why

[glossy iris]

It costs more screws than the regular recipe

[green fiber]

Because its a few % less efficient than default screws ?

Oh bolted

I thought you meant steel screws

[cobalt lodge]

steel screws are so cool

[glossy iris]

No I love steel screws all my homies love steel screws

[green fiber]

Bolted's only purpose is being fast

[abstract heron]

for the signs arrow where do i find that

[green fiber]

Icons of course
Click on change layout first and select one layout that has images

[reef basin]

nah, super easy

[cobalt lodge]

with mk3 conveyors, sure

[reef basin]

with any conveyors

[cobalt lodge]

I'm stuck on mk2

[reef basin]

base recipe outputs 40/min

[cobalt lodge]

Nah, I need like 200/min

[reef basin]

for one machine?

[past torrent]

underclock and place more assemblers

[cobalt lodge]

No but the machines are right nex to each other xD

[reef basin]

build screw constructors in front of each machine

[cobalt lodge]

Yeah, probably a smart idea

[reef basin]

99% of "screw issues" are self-inflicted by the player, rather than being property of the item

[past torrent]

mfw constructors make 7500 biofuel per minute

[hard ivy]

I hate all screws

[cobalt lodge]

I have my little screw factory on one end of my base and use them at the other end

[dense violet]

yup self inflicted. make screws where you need them

[cobalt lodge]

i know, i know

but that would mean tearing down a lot and you don't know how lazy i am

[dry basalt]

@true juniper you nailed it!!! looks so much like firewatch

[true juniper]

Haha omg thanks 😄

[dry basalt]

so don't be lazy lol. I'm lazy as hell IRL and very dedicated and motivated in the game

[cobalt lodge]

Yeah, I'm planning to rebuild my whole factory once I'm back from the holidays my family forces me to

To the late game players: What is the most annoying item in the game?

[dry basalt]

currenly in mid tear 9, Turbo Motor is terrible to make

[fathom shuttle]

You get these alternate recipes by scanning hard drives right?

[reef basin]

personally I recommend not rebuilding, keep what you have, build new stuff. Much easier and faster, less chance to burnout
