satisfactory

[fathom shuttle]

How long did that take?

[cobalt lodge]

true...

[reef basin]

screws are useful with alts

[dry basalt]

nuclear pasta is just 2400 copper ores with pure copper bars recipie(just a lot of building)

[cobalt lodge]

yeah

[glossy iris]

Correct. The earlier you start doing this the more targeted you can make your scans

[fathom shuttle]

Can you unlock all of them or is luck based

is it*

[cobalt lodge]

idk, only got 8 so far

[dry basalt]

it's basically the planning that took about an hour I think

[past torrent]

you can get them all

[dry basalt]

you can ulock all alt if you find enough drives

and the ARE enough in the map

[fathom shuttle]

No I meant the save, unless you’re saying you built a mega factory in an hour xD

[past torrent]

even if u dont find all of them you can buy some from the shop

[cobalt lodge]

do you know how many exactly?

[past torrent]

isnt it like 105?

[dry basalt]

I wish lol

[past torrent]

not sure though

[dry basalt]

or 118 and you need only 112? something like that

[reef basin]

more than enough

[dry basalt]

checking right now

[random frost]

is there pollution in the game?

[reef basin]

no

[cobalt lodge]

what do you do with leftover hard drives?

[past torrent]

yes, radiation

[fathom shuttle]

I haven’t done any 💀

[dry basalt]

nothing

[reef basin]

nothing really

[cobalt lodge]

bruh

[random frost]

i use coal

[fathom shuttle]

I ignored them because they took power

[random frost]

infinite energy

[cobalt lodge]

same, just got to 1200 MW just coal

[past torrent]

when you do your second playthrough i suggest just unlocking all alternates from the start

[dry basalt]

my current save is only about 600 hours. not my first big factory, so planning ahead as much as I can

[random frost]

i made a 600m conveyr from the coal mine to the coal power generator

[fathom shuttle]

nah, you don’t have to worry about anything really if you set mobs to retaliate

[random frost]

i got 8h in the game

[dry basalt]

you got 8h in the game FOR NOW!! lol

[random frost]

what happens if i flush the pipeline?

[cobalt lodge]

As ADA says: "EXPLOIT the planet" so even if there were, you would not have to worry

[fathom shuttle]

Is there a map with all hard drive location

[dry basalt]

fluids get destroid

[fathom shuttle]

I need to find the diddy tapes

[random frost]

ah ok

[glossy iris]

In my defense I did scour the map for resources to get depot, sloops, the rifle, etc....

[past torrent]

yeah but its kinda cheaty, if you're fine with spoiling it does exist

[dry basalt]

yes, satisfactory calculator

[glossy iris]

before tier 2

[past torrent]

google satisfactory interactive map

[fathom shuttle]

I’ve allowed my self cheats, satisfactory open world exploration isn’t interesting enough for me to do it with no cheats

[dense violet]

exploration is very easy w/o cheats too, just get the exploration gear

[night glen]

who starting fresh ?

[celest gorge]

Just me not getting into my pingplayers server? It takes me in to the server but the loading menu dosnt go away?

[random frost]

wtf is wrong with this game

i just optimized a bit my factory and 2 hours have passed..

it felt like 10 minutes

[next umbra]

That means it’s a good game

[cobalt lodge]

true

[random frost]

?

[hard ivy]

<@&387163995947270144>

[random frost]

he is trying to scam

[spice patio]

scam spam.

[cobalt lodge]

nice

[random frost]

so fast

[hard ivy]

Thanks

[old yarrow]

Did vehicle mechanics change in 1.1 the explorer feels weird, like they accelerate weridly and are more slippery

[zinc pagoda]

Why is life so hard

[sly delta]

where can I get some help with dedicated servers ? I'm struggling to get mine running

[supple mica]

Why Was Ingame Voice Chat Talked About But Never implemented into the game

[peak wasp]

Y'all do I make a new save or is it ok to continue on my current one

[zinc pagoda]

Ok to continue

[fathom shuttle]

Old save?

[plain marten]

do drones still need batteries

[zenith pecan]

My really old save dating back from update 3 still loads, though recipe and map changes cause chaos, a 1.0 save is a none issue 🙂

[zenith pecan]

You can use other fuels now.

[plain marten]

perfect

perhaps i should reset my playthroguh and start over

[zenith pecan]

I'll probably still use batteries myself due to having thousands of aluminium ingots at hand 😄

[plain marten]

im feeling like making a superdense factory in a new save

like an organized spaghetti complex

[zenith pecan]

I've gone hard on spaghetti during my rush for phase 5 and such, most has been demolished since as I'm wanting to build proper.

[topaz shale]

After trying to really get into this game, I just don't think it is for me and that really sucks since it is a very cool game.

[plain marten]

i like spaghetti, the organized kind

i wanna make an ultra dense factory in a new save

[dense violet]

#dedicated-servers

[sly delta]

thanks 👍

[dense violet]

you can also use the search function in #1038092680493801533 , your issue has probably been solved a bunch of times

[zenith pecan]

What's spoiling it for you specifically?

I'm not aiming to be sarcastic or anything, there are settings that can customise the game experience if that can help.

[merry mountain]

I -REALLY- wish belts/lifts would keep their individual colors that I paint them when upgrading/downgrading.. so tired of re-coloring them

[zenith pecan]

You can set a default colour in the customiser (just remember to switch back) so everything you replace will be that colour without need to change it.

[topaz shale]

It's the same for a lot of really creative games where I almost feel slightly overwhelmed sometimes.

[zenith pecan]

That'll do it 😦 , there isn't much that can be done there aside from just come off the pc when you need to recharge some.

I love this game, but sometimes even I have a project get away from me and I just have to step away, it's entirely my own fault for trying to use all of something but it still happens.

[dense violet]

set the default colour of belt building to that so you don't even have to paint them

[zenith pecan]

I wish I had something better to say but this game can truly overwhelm if you let it because of its potential size being limited only by your pc.

[merry mountain]

not all belts are the same, not all buldings are the same.. I have 3 constructors, each with a different color palette (blue screws, gray plates, black/red rods).. and the belts correspond to those colors.. so when I upgrade one of the belts, say for screws, it turns orange (default).. like.. just RETAIN the color I set for it.. that's a nice QOL they could add

Sometimes there's a same-colored belt with the desired Belt speed nearby I can just mouse middle click, but sometimes there isn't.

[zenith pecan]

The picker keeping the customisation was pretty cool, though I do wish I could turn it off at times, I've picked a floor section and it keeps the decal (often in the wrong orientation)

[last ocean]

Is it possible to create blueprints using SCIM? Using the coordinates

[dense violet]

you mean eye drop?

[dense violet]

if taro means eye drop it sounds like you could at least eye drop the right belt colour to upgrade with?

[zenith pecan]

He already refered to using that for an already customised item nearby, I merely refered to the pitfall that I have to watch for.

[topaz shale]

It's just funny that I really really love Factorio and put over 600 hours into it but for some reason, this game just doesn't suck me in, even though they are both the kind of game that I enjoy.

[next umbra]

I've found I got more sucked into this game when I started a server and started playing with a few friends of mine. Factorio I could go solo or with friends either way.

[chrome cloud]

is there a way to quickly and easily switch to second screen? I have to change resolution and to window, drag window to second screen, change resolution and to fullscreen. Every single time

[static dune]

this game has exploration and more math. factorio you can just mass produce everything and connect more belts

and factorio has a much nicer view for building and planning. they're quite different

[glossy iris]

Set your secondary screen to your main screen is the only option I can think of

[chrome cloud]

The building is much worse in this, as a rule

you can really zoop 50 buildings down in factorio in seconds

[glossy iris]

As someone who has dropped down dozens of buildings in seconds, your frame rate appreciates not being able to zoop buildings

[reef basin]

they are vastly different games

[static dune]

factorio = 1 belt and dozens of grabbers will easily support many buildings. this one needs real planning

[cobalt lodge]

The comparison is like Minacraft and Terraria, something kinda similar but if you know both they are completely different

[zenith pecan]

Here, depending on your belts, 1 belt and dozens of splitters will support many machines, the main (sizable) difference is we have a Z axis and a lot of room for many floors.

[chrome cloud]

that's right and this is why no one has ever used planning mods for factorio

[topaz shale]

The similarities like the factory building I really enjoy. I may just need to completely restart again but with different settings.

[chrome cloud]

they totally aren't some of the most popular on the mod portal

[static dune]

factorio doesnt really use math. you just divert some resources from a belt. in this game my brain is hurting 😒

[zenith pecan]

I really need to actually try factorio, I bought it on release and still haven't loaded it 🤦‍♂️

[chrome cloud]

you just divert some resources from a belt

[reef basin]

hard disagree

[chrome cloud]

Me when i don't know what manifolds are

[topaz shale]

Oh you can do math in Factorio. You just can't get away with not doing math in Satisfactory.

[static dune]

i keep hearing that M word and i don't know what it means D:

[topaz shale]

Join us.

[static dune]

It's kind of insulting to not have tried Factorio. Don't insult us! 😛

[reef basin]

both games you can divert resources from belt
both games require math to be efficient

[boreal musk]

im still yet to finish my space age run

[junior laurel]

Do it

[static dune]

i've never finished a Factorio run. I always start a new game by the time an update hits

[junior laurel]

I spent like a month or so when Space Age came out and played nothing but that. Very good ^_^

[static dune]

early game, i can make mk2 miners, that's how far i am. But to transport resources up a cliff, is there an easy way or i have to go allllll the way around or build a foundation ramp up it?

[hard ivy]

my space age run nearly doubled my total playtime lol

[hard ivy]

lifts

[junior laurel]

Oh good news. I can now move away from saying I have 5000 hours in Factoro.
Because I have 5500 hours now

[hard ivy]

I have like a tenth of that lol

[junior laurel]

My beloved 8:8 factorio balancers

The belts on the bus go round and round

[reef basin]

bus and balancers don't go together 😛

[hard ivy]

they do tho

[reef basin]

no, you push things to one side

[junior laurel]

All day long.
All week long..
All month long...
All year long....
All decade long....
All century long.....

[cobalt lodge]

we get it

[hard ivy]

or balance...

[reef basin]

no reason to have 8 belts with 1/2 material each

if you can have 4 full belts and split full belts

[hard ivy]

if you overflow to one side, you'll have 4 full belts and 4 empty ones

what's the difference?

[junior laurel]

UPS

[topaz shale]

Oh god what I have done to this chat

[reef basin]

that I don't have to balance after every split, and/or that I don't have to split from each lane

[junior laurel]

If you have a solid belt it is less of a hit to UPS

[hard ivy]

besides, if you have partially empty belts on a bus, you aren't producing enough

[junior laurel]

You've angered the factory Lords.

[topaz shale]

I just use crossbar switches for splitting off the bus and for compressing belts. It helps nicely.

[reef basin]

no? my bus is full at the start

if my bus was full all the way to the end, that means I'm not consuming anything

[topaz shale]

Seeing when you are running out of stuff on the bus does help to know if you may need to add in some additional materials but yeah full belt at start is good.

[hard ivy]

also, frankly since space age, I have never used more than one belt per item in my nauvis base and I haven't bussed the other planets

[topaz shale]

I like to have all nauvis science being made on nauvis so I just have 4 red iron belts, 4 red copper, and the rest as I see fit. It works well.

I just bot base the other planets except Vulcanus.

[reef basin]

I'm at 8 belts each and it wasn't enough (until I delivered stacking inserters from gleba)

[topaz shale]

I built my main bus with a set production in mind. Mainly 100spm of all nauvis science and be able to stay stable as long as I have enough stuff coming in.

So I made sure to have enough belts of what I needed for the base.

[junior laurel]

I liked busing on Vulc.. it's a lot of liquid metal

[reef basin]

also LDS shuffle

[junior laurel]

I never much cared for that. Feels cheesy to quality grind like that. I just cast my LDS for ma rockets

It also feels like it might be something that could get nerfed at any time knowing Wube

[split pike]

Hmm, I've got one refiner belt that refuses to work on a merger. I've redone the belt, the merger, even changed it to a priority merger and nothing. Any ideas?

[chrome cloud]

i actually didn't like space age at all

[reef basin]

kinda hard to nerf imo

[chrome cloud]

feels like an overhaul mod with questionable design decisions and very strict opinions on how you Should Be playing the game

so industrial revolution?

[reef basin]

maybe let's take this to #off-topic-general

[split pike]

Changed the shape of the belt from straight to "s". And it started working. Bizzare

[wicked moss]

How do you do a precise nudge in 1.1?

It seems they got rid of the Alt option

Also cant rotate when nudging anymore

[hard ivy]

I don't think you ever could?

[junior laurel]

I've been doing those half nudges for the last two months so it hasn't been removed.

[wicked moss]

It was removed in 1.1

2 days ago

Maybe it was a mod I had, but I dont see anything in my old mods list that would give me that ability

Zoopables?

[vestal mica]

infinite nudge had both the small nudge and the ability to rotate during nudging

[sullen gull]

Hold CTRL. Also cannot rotate while part is locked in vanilla unfortunately.

[cyan garnet]

Sounds like infinite nudge

[dreamy kestrel]

yeah it sounds like youre just used to infinite nudge

[wicked moss]

CTRL did it!

I didnt have infinite nudge installed

Just checked that

Guess ill install it tho

[reef basin]

isn't infinite nudge now in vanilla

[junior laurel]

Yeah I don't play with mods. So what he said read as the half nudging

Only like 10% of what inf nudge can do

[sullen gull]

Yeah, but the Mod allows for more 'precise' nudging that is configurable.

[cyan garnet]

It’s a good qol mod although the improvements in 1.1 have removed some of its usefulness

[sullen gull]

As well as being able to rotate on all axis if one so chooses.

[junior laurel]

I feel at some point we're slowly going to get more of inf nudge in vanilla.

[vestal mica]

with vertical nudge, the main reason I used it is gone

[cyan garnet]

Have been away on vacation so haven’t attempted to install the mod again since the 1.1 release. I defo used it on 1.0

[junior laurel]

Vert nudge is in 1.1 tho

[sullen gull]

That's what they're saying

[vestal mica]

that's what i meant. the main reason i had it before has been added to vanilla

[junior laurel]

Cool

[upper sinew]

hi ı just bought the game can someone teach me a litle

[junior laurel]

I could not go back to 1.0 a 2 weeks ago when a friend asked me to join them.
Losing vert nudge. Photo mode..
And if you can get that feeling in every update you're doing something right!

[sullen gull]

Btw, for anyone who isn't aware, Frame floors and Frame walls allow to achieve something like a .25 offset vertical and horizontal in vanilla if anyone ever finds their self needing.

[dense violet]

the game is built as a very very good tutorial. Mess around. You'll learn 10x as fast than someone talking at you

[junior laurel]

Micro nudging basically 😅

[sullen gull]

Ooof, photomode is super nice for sure. But totally agreed with the Vertical nudge as well.

[upper sinew]

yeah but ı wanna play with someone yk then its 10x times more fun

[dense violet]

#1201555265942724758

[sullen gull]

#1201555265942724758

[junior laurel]

I legit feel like I can start making videos to edit now. But the photo mode right now is 8.5/10
There were things mentioned in the update stream regarding it to bring it higher so I can wait for it.

[dense violet]

I really don't recommend playing with someone right from the start though. Whatever parts of the game you don't involve yourself in you won't learn

[sullen gull]

More key frames for the Dolly imo. That would be some icing on the cake for sure.

[junior laurel]

I did ask that on the stream and they said they've discussed more advanced things like that.
More key frames was my highest want.
I want sweeping shots!
Splines that angle out to make a 360 shot

I want to make a short film in in game.

So I want as much as I can get my hands on!

[sullen gull]

Yeah, I was laid up on the couch trying to watch it but kept falling asleep lol. I did see the interview with the guy that made it say that it's totally doable, but wanted to just make sure everything was running well with it all before adding on to it at all.

[junior laurel]

The sets I'm building for the thing will take an eternity so I have time.
Looking forward to more advanced stuff to play way.
Make me up my rating from 8.5 :]

[mortal hatch]

Is there a mod that can increase the milestone and/or project requirements by specified amount? to increase the duration/challenge of the game?

[abstract heron]

i wish when building a pipe it does not autoconnect into a other one while building?

[hard ivy]

third fucking time

[junior laurel]

<@&387163995947270144>

I assume every other channel.
Again

[cyan garnet]

Ugh

[spice patio]

Need to make the bot delete any post with exactly 4 pics?

[junior laurel]

They'll learn and add a 5th picture that is 1x1 pixel

[gaunt tulip]

@void gorge - In Version 1.1 Live/Stable Branch Release did they do a World Update and turn on Water Force as was hinted at in a 2020 Devlog by CSS Technical Artist Ben de Hullu? There was a Reddit Post which seemed to indicate that "Water Force" WAS added but I need official confirmation / clarification.
👉 View Reddit Post: https://www.reddit.com/r/SatisfactoryGame/comments/1l9ms92/currents_in_the_rivers_and_streams/

⭑ History: It should be noted that early in game development, one of the interesting Water changes planned in addition to improving waterfalls, that was noted in a Devlog from 2020 with CSS Technical Artist Ben de Hullu, was the addition of "water force" or "flow rate", as demonstrated here https://youtu.be/omjFqZQV9fI?t=208 (Video Bookmark), which means if the Pioneer or Creatures gets into a flowing stream they will float downstream and perhaps over a waterfall. There was no known information how Vehicles will react but it is suspected they will be impacted by "water force" if implemented.

[spice patio]

Would need per server adaptation, which they don't have even now with that image spam as is.

[junior laurel]

They'll overall just keep improving their shite

[abstract heron]

or to the pipe anything with this could be happening

[peak wasp]

I decided to power my whole operation with plants...imagine making 3750mw using only plants

[quasi juniper]

was the map modified since 1.0?

[finite saddle]

im currently at 1900mw with just plants lol and that took a bit, 3750 would be fun!!!!!

[stark bluff]

guys how do i kill the radiactoive hog things

[abstract heron]

i wish mikael updated the yt playlists

[mortal ginkgo]

just like others

[junior laurel]

I like throwing nobes at them

[finite saddle]

bludgeon them to death

[stark bluff]

im trying with shooting them with iron rebars and etc

ok

[finite saddle]

any ranged weapon is fine

[mortal ginkgo]

it still works, albeit they are the ultimate enemies so

[finite saddle]

build a little platform for yourself and shoot away

[stark bluff]

okay thanks

[static dune]

i'm dumb, i never thought about building anything, let alone a platform >.<

i do like how the mobs work in this game though, rather than just stand there and out DPS each other

[mortal ginkgo]

that doesnt work all the time and I think it isnt exactly a great advice to begin with

large stingers can jump, hogs can throw stones etc

[static dune]

i just strafe/jump and try to get them when they charge

ohh. i have encountered one stone throwing one so far

[mortal ginkgo]

funny trivia, the obelisk you throw at them can stick to the stone that they throw at you, making it explode in your face

so its a really nice "heck you" from them 😄

[static dune]

😮

i've managed to explode the rock they shoot with a rebar gun

[mortal ginkgo]

You are gamin'. I declare you a gamer.

[untold escarp]

is there a way to disable the speedcap for bunnyhops via console?

[static dune]

well we were facing each other just dukeing it out. so every so often the stone would be spat out at me at the same time i fire

[mortal ginkgo]

dont be so modest, I know you calculated it all

for that perfect angle, just to prove that you are a gamer, that you are gamin'

[zenith pecan]

Watch it when throwing bombs, they can blow up in your face if an inbound missile hits it just as you throw.

[static dune]

i so want bombs! i'm not that far yet. got a stupid boulder on top of a much needed coal node i need to get rid of

[peak wasp]

How are you doing it?

I mean I make 12 liquid biofuel with 10 leaves due to sloops, I also have powered my entire operation using 6 fully overclocked fuel generators, it only costs 550mw to power my slooped gear and leaves me with 3200mw

[mossy birch]

Me thinking how to fit the rocket fuel to the generator that I’m going to build.

[peak wasp]

Remember kids the plants know what they did

Nature is just profit

Remember using plants to power your factory just means you fucking hate those damn dirty plants

[rough geode]

i made one of my blueprints 1m off
i will hang my head in shame

[zenith pecan]

Due to it not being able to be fully automated, I'll only use the liquid biofuel foor my personal vehicle and a jetpack.

[zenith pecan]

Easy done, I built an entire logistics floor of my steelworks 1 metre too low 🤣

[rough geode]

i spent an hour on it instead of going to the gym

[peak wasp]

But destroying nature

[rough geode]

i mean i dont normally go to the gym so its not out of the ordinary

but still i could have

[zenith pecan]

Secondary to functionality to me.

[peak wasp]

What's more important to you guys? Complete ecosystem collapse or efficiency

[zenith pecan]

That said I have spammed nukes just to clear a plot of land #screenshots message

[peak wasp]

But nuking it is waste.... FICSIT DOES NOT WASTE

it could of been power

Mutters in ficsit

[candid agate]

Does anybody know how to change the settings back to keyboard & mouse from controller without actually having a controller? It doesn't auto-switch back to M&K when the controller is turned off.

[zenith pecan]

Naa, with the power I already have? , turning biomass into physics is never waste, look at the lovely mushrooms that grew in their place.

[peak wasp]

Hmmm okay

[abstract heron]

i am debating of pining mikael to ask him fixing the playlists for yt

like for adding 1.1 playlist and fixing up 1.0 playlist

[zenith pecan]

I do need to revisit the coke plant at some point, it is working, but it's a skeleton, I was in a hurry to get the coke to where I'm refining aluminium.

[marble socket]

"ATF OPEN UP!"

interchange 3 letter acronym to one that applies

[summer wyvern]

DEA

[zenith pecan]

Wrong kind of coke, I'm not sure how well a particle accelerator would work when fed with narcotics instead of a baked carbon product 🤣

[marble socket]

It would keep running faster but using less power 😛

[zenith pecan]

Until it burns itself up 😛

[marble socket]

Aye. That's the tradeoff xD

Keeps going for longer, but is scrap at the end

xD

[mild tartan]

they removed my video from memes

[zenith pecan]

Not ideal, I can't process narcotics into time crystals like I can with all that carbon 😄

I need to get 4800 steel from the blue crater to the dunes, another tunnel is on the cards.

[hard ivy]

not with that attitude

[glossy vapor]

i'm going to run my entire nuclear factory in the middle of the map by using the biggest water train you have ever seen, thoughts?

like, irl scale oil train, but water, across half the map coming from the ocean

[summer wyvern]

Big trains are cool.

[lime ermine]

I need over 3000 caternium a minute for my nuclear power plant and I'm not even to the ficsonium stage. This is going to be fun to set up all the trains

Trains are the best part of this game

[marble socket]

Lego Loco on steroids 🤣

(really showing my age here my god)

[lime ermine]

I had Lego trains when I was young

Satisfactory trains are helping me relive that

[lyric coyote]

Hi, does anyone know if it's possible to downgrade on Steam? I was using mods that stopped working in 1.1 😦

[marble socket]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lego_Loco

[lime ermine]

Where was this all my life

I needed this

[marble socket]

A friend of mine ran a LAN version with a bunch of people in college, and the trains once they leave the screen drove onto someone else's screen xD

[mystic oriole]

I grew up with an electric train set, small. Not a lego train set. Always wanted one.

[marble socket]

https://ideas.lego.com/projects/ac5de7e4-62a3-471d-9a66-f0406dac25ed

Sadly didn't reach the goal

[mystic oriole]

sad, very sad

[lime ermine]

Hey I supported this

Great build btw

[marble socket]

As did I 🙂

Even rooted for the Constructor 🙂

https://ideas.lego.com/projects/6e70b8ae-dc7e-4066-8a31-938bf65e14b8

[lime ermine]

That I have not seen

[mystic oriole]

are the parts orderable? like can I just get a list of lego bits and order it like a kit?

[static dune]

Lego? Damn that stuff is expensive. I don't get the appeal given the price

[marble socket]

Link got removed. Google for Lego Satisfactory MOC

[marble socket]

The saving grace when it comes to MOC models, you're busying loose parts mostly

So instead of dropping a large chunk of change, you can just order in batches if money's tight

[mystic oriole]

but you end up spending more than if it was in a bundle

[limber birch]

i wish the neon helmet made the entire pioneer neon

or the gold helmet adding gold bits or replacing regular bits with gold

[plain valley]

I think I broke horizontal splitters(and mergers) by installing them vertically - https://discord.com/channels/370472939054956546/1382757244357316648

not sure if thats the best path for bug reports.. but didnt see anywhere better for it

[zenith pecan]

I tried to use a vertical splitter at my steelworks, the bloody thing refused to line up with the logistics floor, after an hour, I just went back to my old splitter/belt method going to lifts.

[plain valley]

I am a little sad you cant nudge them up and down the belt.. I was only trying to get it to mount closer to the ground

It’s the only place where devs officially look at bug reports

[fair orbit]

Does anyone know where I can talk to a moderator about a bug I found in the game?

[leaden turret]

a moderator isn't going to be able to help you with in-game bugs

[white dawn]

This server is mostly user-to-user support. #1038092680493801533 is your best bet for discussing specific things. The Questions site is where you can report things to the devs, though. Specifically:

[fossil ice]

Satisfactory Questions

You can send Questions, Feedback, Suggestions, and Bug Reports
https://questions.satisfactorygame.com
<3 @white dawn

[white dawn]

You can also find and upvote existing bugs; it's possible the thing you're looking to report is already in there

[plain valley]

lol... my bug report is on page 14... they are never gonna see it

[leaden turret]

they see everything

[lavish lance]

lego is obscenely overpriced

sadly

[white dawn]

Dunno why that was a rofl'd statement; CSS have said many times in the past that they're pretty rigorous about reading through everything that makes it to the Questions site

[abstract heron]

hello who are u

[plain valley]

Sorry if that seemd inconsiderate

[white dawn]

They obviously don't have the resources to respond to everything on there, but someone at CSS has seen what's in there, and I'd wager that they have an internal tracker where they prioritize stuff, etc.

Heh, all good. :)

[plain valley]

I didnt mean to rofl like I didnt believe you, just read it in a way that sounded like they were god like and all seeing.. a rofl of respect if you might

[leaden turret]

ceiling hannah is watching you automate

[lavish lance]

i dont doubt that they do see everything on there

[maiden jacinth]

They probably sort the bug reports and then look at a file of similar ones or smth

[lavish lance]

there are not that many new daily posts

they probably go on there on most days

not hard to keep up probably

[limber birch]

right back to completly reworking my power station

shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii im almost out of coffee

[tame kiln]

Did anyone ever used SCIM to mark spheres in our map?

[peak wasp]

Can you use sloops on packagers?

[zenith pecan]

Nope, that would open up a hilarious fuel dupe with 0 inputs otherwise.

[mossy birch]

Well… while placing conveyors, and then I press M to see the map (yes, I do this.) then the conveyor UI disappears. Until I reopen it.

[peak wasp]

I was hoping that would be the case lol

[zenith pecan]

I saw that once, I didn't realise what the cause was so I couldn't reproduce it.

[mossy birch]

You put into build mode as conveyor.

Then you press M, then you press M again. And UI for resource requirement of the conveyor disappears.

[maiden jacinth]

Perpetual energy machine

[zenith pecan]

Yeah haha, a sloop in this #satisfactory-experimental message , would yield free fuel while the loop continues 😄

[vocal frost]

Coming back to satisfactory to replay after a complete playthrough ~1 year ago.

Any tips on a new save? I'm finding the early game grind more frustrating than enjoyable knowing that I want a bunch of technologies like platforms & belts & what not earlier on.

Do folks typically just redo it all again? The game doesn't really encourage good factory organization from the start because you're blocked by a lot of factory organization tools.

I'm tempted now instead to just start a new game with a decent amount of the tiers unlocked.

What do other people do on subsequent playthroughs? Do y'all just go from scratch every time, or do y'all start a certain tier?

[zenith pecan]

My early game usually just has machines sitting on the sand that I use for unlocks and some materials, and I build a proper setup with the things I unlock down the line.

[void gorge]

It should be in the game since 1.0

For the Pioneer at least, vehicles haven't changed

[tame kiln]

Does anyone know what this means?

Tried sending image without success

but looks like rising star in going to the ground

[leaden turret]

can't send images in this channel

[tame kiln]

falling star, shooting star

going on the floor

[leaden turret]

@void gorge did you see the beanana hammock merch concept art yet?

[lime ermine]

and yet I still buy it

I can't help myself

[lucid pagoda]

anyone know why my settings dont save? the resolution always goes to 1920x1080 instead of 3840x2160 and fps refuses to cap at anything higher than 30

[void gorge]

Nein

[leaden turret]

https://www.reddit.com/r/SatisfactoryGame/comments/1l86zzc/beanana_hammock_merch_concept/

ehehehehehe

[void gorge]

I hate it

[limber birch]

i recommend a mod called 'Free Samples' it gives you things when you unlock stuff (usually only enough to build some and gives you one built item, can change this if you want) basically helps you get thru stuff faster

[leaden turret]

you hate it or you hate that you want it? 😛

[lavish lance]

i stoped, i dont buy if the value is bad

[limber birch]

i dislike how much i had to redo on a new save after spending 65 hours in one save

[zenith pecan]

Only 65 hours?, man my old save had nearly 3000, yet I restarted 🤷‍♂️

[tame kiln]

does anyone know?

what means the shooting stars in the grass?

[lucid pagoda]

either you speedran the game like crazy, or only saw half the game

[leaden turret]

oh, slug probably

[void gorge]

Even if this was the last piece of art on Earth I'd trash it

[leaden turret]

I was referring to the beanana hammock itself, not the art by @lofty dew 😛

[tame kiln]

is ther a way to pierce the grass?

[leaden turret]

if you're seeing slug vfx coming out of the ground, there is possibly a cave or alcove in the terrain nearby

[cyan garnet]

Did you play before or after 1.0? Do you care about achievements? Because you can just use advanced game settings to set your starting tier but AGS disables achievements

You can also skip tier 0 (onboarding) in the base game

[vocal frost]

Yeah i skipped Tier 0, tier 1 feels a bit slow. Wondering if anyone has their own personal preference of which tier to start? I kind of forget each tier, I played the full game after the v1.0 update. I don't care about achievements so perhaps I'll tinker with that.

THe other option would be to just upload my save to those save editors, and just delete everything, but i guess that could be the same as more tweaks to AGS

[tame kiln]

Has anyone been having non stop crashes after 1.1?

[turbid badge]

Update: It works just the same as with Windows, no hiccups or anything 👍

[green shoal]

Anyone not get the +6 inventory slots from a hard drive? I have a video of it happening.

[lucid pagoda]

i usually start at T4, it gives you a fair amount to automate but doesnt send you straight into the oil and refinery stuff, you can easily have one factory for the time being before moving on to more advanced parts soon after

[trail folio]

🥹 i though the day would never come but we have straight pipes, i might actually cry.

[green shoal]

https://imgur.com/a/F9fVWpG

[iron patio]

which should i choose between iron pipe and stitched iron plate? i know both are good but i can only have one sadly

[leaden turret]

do you like making screws

[trail folio]

i love that

so fun

[iron patio]

no but at the same time i can get cast screws later. Iron pipe will also allow me to make only iron factories

[leaden turret]

I mean technically so would stitched plate if you get iron wire

[cyan garnet]

Which recipe is more useful to you right now? Pick that one

[iron patio]

i meant that for recipes that use steel, cos steel is also a pain

[leaden turret]

which recipe fills you with the least amount of dread at the prospect of rebalancing a factory?

pick that one.

[iron patio]

i think i prefer iron pipe rn but if i pick this one, will i be able to get stitched plate later or no?

i find it dumb that you can't get all the recipes that you want

[leaden turret]

if you want all the recipes, cheat

[zenith pecan]

Just farm more hard drives, you'll get the recipes 🤷‍♂️

[cyan garnet]

There’s more hard drives than recipes. You can get them all

[iron patio]

are you sure about that?

[zenith pecan]

I have all the recipes and there are still some drives on the map, so yeah, quite sure.

[iron patio]

if so then i take it back, ill pick the most useful for my next factory, ill worry about screws later

[iron patio]

okok nvm then thanks guys

[maiden jacinth]

Screws aren't that bad

[reef basin]

you can though

[cyan garnet]

Yes

[iron patio]

they suck, cast screws make it a bit better but its still bad

[reef basin]

bad how?

[maiden jacinth]

The problem with iron pipe is that it just takes a lot of iron ngl.

[zenith pecan]

Steel isn't that bad to setup, you'll love bauxite processing if steel is an issue 🤣

[iron patio]

don't know don't like them

[iron patio]

don't tell me stuff like that 😭

[lucid pagoda]

bauxite gave me ptsd bruh

[maiden jacinth]

Esp if you get solid steel

Solid steel is maybe a bit too good of a recepie

[zenith pecan]

I'm producing 4800 steel with the compacted steel recipe (byproduct from power generation)

[reef basin]

I mean fair, but they are same item as any other, not much different there

[lucid pagoda]

damn

thats good

[summer wyvern]

Did you make a bug report?

[rough bolt]

There are 85 recipes and 118 hard drives

[maiden jacinth]

Solids better early game tho for sure

[iron patio]

i thought that when you pick one, the other gets deleted from the pool

[rough bolt]

You can get a majority of the hard drives with the loot you find near them.

[maiden jacinth]

Smelt the iron to go from 45 45 45
To 40 40 60

[rough bolt]

No, it doesn't, it just gets removed from the pool of future ones that you scan, since you've already gotten it scanned.

[maiden jacinth]

Nope
Which is why it's good to hold hard drives with recepies you don't want

[rough bolt]

Basically, if you have iron pipes show up in the hard drive library, it won't show up again in the library until a recipe is selected from the hard drive it's from.

[zenith pecan]

I still default to solid steel when making it on purpose, it's only because my power station spewed out a lot of compact coal as a byproduct.

[iron patio]

right so when i don't care / don't have a use for a hard drive, i should just leave it?

also should i rescan them when theyre not interesting?

[maiden jacinth]

Mhm
Or even if a hard drive has 1 recepie you want one recepie you don't

Scan a second first before picking if you have one

[manic tartan]

Can someone tell me what the max power consumption of the particle accelerator is when making nuclear pasta?

[rough bolt]

So if you just keep scanning hard drives and hoarding them in the MAM, you'll eventually have every recipe, or you'll narrow down the possibilities making it more likely to get the ones you want. It'll make sense once you have like 10 hard drives in the library with no duplicates.

[manic tartan]

Forum says 1500 but it just jumped to 6000 after making the first one

[onyx owl]

Satisfactory

[rough bolt]

Personally I savescum my hard drives, even though I also have found like half of them already.

I haven't really had to savescum that much though. Usually I find a recipe I'm looking for in like 1-2 loads

I use like a LOT of alternates, I almost always use them, even if they are very complicated.

Uranium fuel unit... My divisively beloved

[nova igloo]

just had a fist push the pod button, is that an easter egg?

[leaden turret]

yes

[faint jacinth]

So do we have a official release date for xbox or is it still in preparation

[leaden turret]

it's currently wishlistable on xbox and playstation storefronts, so best add it and get notified

[faint jacinth]

I've got it and downloaded it, but do we have a official release date yet?

[short root]

Not yet, but it's said to be 2025.

[timber shoal]

are geothermal generators worth using?

[short root]

Yes because free energy.

[lucid pagoda]

theres no downside to them if i recall, so yes, its free energy

[leaden ether]

Try to place a lot of them around the map to even out the fluctuations. Their one big benefit is that they always produce a solid minimum of power so if somehow your entire grid goes down, they can provide enough power to get it bootstrapped again.

[lucid pagoda]

love this, something i do sometimes is have all my geothermals as a restart grid, i can easily split them from main grid to run the systems that reboot coal or fuel power in case shit hits the fan

[tame kiln]

Do most people use mods or vanilla game?

[fathom shuttle]

So I have 4 normal iron mines,with fully overclocked mk2 miners I should expect 1000+ iron ore right?

[fathom shuttle]

There aren’t as many mods for the game rn, they usually break after each update. Only some qol mods are worth it I believe

[tame kiln]

infinite loop seems awesome

[leaden ether]

I played straight 1.0 (Exceptf for infinate nudge) till I finished the space elevator stages, Now I use a few extra decorating and QoL mods for fun.

[fathom shuttle]

The large inventory mod seems great

But I’ll only use it once I’m getting into late game,

[still ginkgo]

server wont allow me to send screenshots in #screenshots lol

[abstract heron]

can u fix the yt playlists please and make 1.1 with all the videos that where in and 1.0 updating them on yt pls thanks and is there a tmr video or one next week?

[maiden jacinth]

Vanilla obviously. Most people don't play with mods for any game

But there's def some really good mods like infinite nudge

[still ginkgo]

that exists for with 1.1, no?

[cyan garnet]

some mods may not be updated for 1.1 yet. It only just came out this week

[tame kiln]

i was looking into this smart mod too

seems that it was awesome when it worked

[vestal mica]

@cyan garnet do you wish you had stayed in school like @still ginkgo ?

[still ginkgo]

lol

[cyan garnet]

I opted to become a warlock instead

[lucid pagoda]

does anyone have an example of a spreadsheet for a factory? im debating how to organize one

[oak hinge]

Wait since when has this game had slidehopping as a fast movement option???

[still ginkgo]

yeah i cant send images on this server

[oak hinge]

I LOVE this

[clever pier]

try satisfactory tools dot com

[lucid pagoda]

go to #screenshots

[still ginkgo]

yeah, dont work

[lucid pagoda]

i have, i need it for general knowledge tho, a spreadsheet would help me know what im using, where its going and extra resource from my nodes, i do use sf tools but a spreadsheet seems easier in some ways

[lucid pagoda]

odd

[fathom shuttle]

Oh boy, I just realized that I’m gonna need to automate 1,200 iron ore

I just unlocked blueprint so this shouldn’t be too painful

But the smelters + constructors alone are probably gonna melt down my entire power grid

[clever pier]

so just use google sheets then?

[frozen ingot]

moooorrrree powwwwahhhhh 😄

[burnt ferry]

pure ingots have a decent yield

[clever pier]

check for alts that might make it easier

like iron alloy or pure iron

i'm doing 1200 copper ingots a minute for pasta

[burnt ferry]

and since this is most probably for screws mostly: have a look at steel screws.. one constructor and 3 slugs will saturate an mk5 belt for you

[clever pier]

and that only makes 1.5 pasta a minute

[abstract heron]

i hate it when auto pipes when i build them straghit they auto connect to each other

[burnt ferry]

in fact 3 slugs do more than one mk5 belt

[tall ivy]

Im having it constantly today, where the game will be running smoothly, I do something (such as alt-tabbing) and then at some point it starts to runn more choppy

[leaden ether]

Recently completed a 500/m one, that was enough for me this round.

[clever pier]

its "only" 18 assemblers with copper alloy

[leaden ether]

18 assemblers and 100 refiners!

[clever pier]

you maniac

[leaden ether]

Actually I was using Pur copper recipie, was 40 refiners

[burnt ferry]

40 refiners for 600/m?

[clever pier]

i was making pasta with only fuel gens thats easy

[burnt ferry]

just put slugs in it.. i have like 8

[clever pier]

30 fuel gens with rocket fuel

so it is kind of cool having nuclear powered drone cause they are super fast but I think I'm going to change them over to rocket fuel

so I don't have radiation everywhere

[leaden ether]

40 refiners and 8 assemblers for 500/m

500/m copper powder that is

[clever pier]

theres no point making batteries anymore

packaged fuel is better for drones

[vocal frost]

Right on, this is pretty nice (just launcehd one at 4)

I really wish I could have the floor holes for conveyors as that is my top tier organization strategoy. I forget when they unlock, but I feel like they should be a lot sooner than they are.

[lucid pagoda]

floor holes are in the awesome shop, id definitely get some tickets before building

[frozen ingot]

i still use batteries for drones out of habit i think, but last time i looked they were still a decent option

[clever pier]

if you're making rocket fuel anyway.... then its less work to package that than to start battery production

[vocal frost]

ohhhhhhhh riiight i should look at that then, okay i think t4 is a good spot to start, with the mk2 belts ready as well feeling pretty important.

[burnt ferry]

them fucking drones take fuel? so far fo rmy battery fac 😂

[oak hinge]

Use nuclear drones like a true gigachad

[clever pier]

it was changed in 1.0

nuclear drones are good but you end up radiation everywhere

[burnt ferry]

nah.. after i finally have aluminum now i want to continue with the elevator

or even beginn thise phase

no they make biofuel from it because the jetpack runs fucking forever with that for some reason

[oak hinge]

I just started a new save for 1.1 (mostly because my 1.0 save is REALLY scuffed and all the stuff i've built is blueprints anyway)

And i'm running into some tech and some jank stuff that i've never noticed before

[maiden jacinth]

biocoal gotta be the worst alt recepie

[oak hinge]

For example why do you not have access to ladders but have access to multiple buildings that have ladders on the side lmao

Like, i dont have ladders so im using storage containers stacked on top of each other to climb cliffs

[reef forge]

excuse me how did i not know you can get a jetpack before completing any milestones

[oak hinge]

Because they have ladders on the side

[cyan garnet]

You unlock ladders in the awesome shop

[oak hinge]

Yeah ik

I'm just saying it's a bit silly how storage containers are the best ladders for now xd

[burnt ferry]

large power towers and the zipline

[oak hinge]

Yeah i just started a new save

[burnt ferry]

plus blueprint nudging

[oak hinge]

So don't have those

[burnt ferry]

gets you everywhere save with a handful of mats

[oak hinge]

Yeah ik

I generally prefer jetpack tho lmao

Jetpack + foundations

[clever pier]

stackable belt supports have a ladder on the side

[oak hinge]

Sloped foundations are actually such a lifesaver when getting hard drives

[oak hinge]

Also need to be unlocked separately, storage containers are unlocked from the start

They're the only stackable building that has a ladder that's unlocked from the start xd

[burnt ferry]

isnt that only the tutorial phase?

[oak hinge]

No, that's phase 1

[burnt ferry]

cant remember that to be a problem at any time 😂

either ladder unlocks fast enough or something else

[maiden jacinth]

which oil recepies are better
the residual one or the other

[oak hinge]

Diluted oil

[oak hinge]

Yeah i didnt either lmao, i just started a new save and was like "huh"

[maiden jacinth]

I mean like the recepies for rubber and plastic

[burnt ferry]

from the two: residual

[maiden jacinth]

is it better to do the normal or residual

[oak hinge]

Oh, residual by far

If you have the heavy oil recipe too

Heavy oil + diluted fuel + residual rubber / plastic + recycled rubber / plastic is the most efficient setup

[burnt ferry]

plastic directly from oil, and rubber is certainly much better than the polymer shit

[oak hinge]

You get triple the rubber / plastic that you would with normal oil processing

[burnt ferry]

regardles of any other recipe

[maiden jacinth]

whats bad about the polymer stuff

[oak hinge]

Oh yeah for starter oil for sure just do basic setup

[burnt ferry]

nothing .. just bad ratio

[oak hinge]

I was talking about endgame setups where you want to get as much out of your oil as possible

[burnt ferry]

you get more per time and per crude oil from the other recipe

[maiden jacinth]

yea im just doing starter oil
and like
getting two recepies for plastic and rubber is a bit confusing for which to go for x3

[burnt ferry]

but only if you use rfubber and plastic as far as i remember

[oak hinge]

IMO just do something for the starter one, you'll unlock better recipes anyway

[burnt ferry]

like if you make ONLY plastic, the polymer thing might be better

ye just get started.. dont overthink it..

[oak hinge]

I personally did one where the polymer got turned into either plastic or rubber, i dont remember which, whichever is the more efficient of the two

[maiden jacinth]

I mean probably gonna also be using fuel generators ofc

coffee stain are cowards for not letting us sloop packagers

[cyan garnet]

Just use the base recipes and burn or sink the byproduct to get you started

You’ll end up doing a much bigger plastic and rubber build later, almost certainly

[burnt ferry]

like at first i was for fuel only, so i took the polymer recipe as that yields fuel directly.. however if you use both the plastic and the rubber residual recipe the total fuel amount will be the same

[peak wasp]

I found something out...If you put a factory cart in a elevator and go up it freaks out. I put 10 in the elevator and well...you can imagine what happen

[maiden jacinth]

this was in the announcement video

[burnt ferry]

while yielding a lot more plastic and rubber

[maiden jacinth]

using the personel elevator for vehicles is against policy

[maiden jacinth]

thats um
good to know

[clever pier]

how can you increase the flow rate of nitrogen through pipes? I have tank connected to a train station thats completely full and mk2 pipes connected but its only reaching my nitric acid machine at like 40 m3 a minute

[burnt ferry]

the numbers tell you.. i was just not looking at both recipies in combination at first

[peak wasp]

against policy lol

[maiden jacinth]

ficsit gonna put you on the list

[clever pier]

is the factory cart small enough to drive into the elevator door?

[peak wasp]

Im at tier 5...they just gonna let me go now?

[burnt ferry]

it fits into your pocket

when you deploy it youre actually shrinking to fit

[clever pier]

oh yeah what happens if you build an explorer inside the elevator?

[burnt ferry]

i have made a 1 foundation fence for my doggo and it has an explorer as a toy.. fits

what happens? idk 😂

[burnt ferry]

btw. were you starting at?

[fathom shuttle]

I’ll check that out later

Is there an easy way to design my factories? Or at least keep track of inputs and outputs on like a website

[clever pier]

to answer my own question... it seems the only way to increase nitrogen gas flow in pipes is over produce so they are always fuill

eg if you need 600 m3 a minute produce 720

[fathom shuttle]

This results in decrease efficiency right? Like in builderment

[clever pier]

no it increases flow in my experience

[fathom shuttle]

I don’t think satisfactory uses a different method of calculating numbers

[clever pier]

because you can't use pumps with gases the only way to increase flow is higher pressure

[fathom shuttle]

I’m talking about efficiency , because the game rounds numbers down ( so 599.99 becomes 599) which results in decreased efficiency

[sour pilot]

flow depends on demand

[limber birch]

i didnt think global illumination would make it look this good but damn

[clever pier]

nope... i have a machine demanding 240 m3 it doesn't pull it unless the pipes feeding it are full

[clever pier]

thats a different issue you can never get perfect 600 m3 with mk2 pipes

[sour pilot]

you're doing it wrong or it's a bug

[clever pier]

no... this is the way it works with gases and its different to liquid or belts

[fathom shuttle]

Yea it looks really good, but I assume this won’t last as I progress into late game and fps becomes a huge problem

[clever pier]

flow with gases depends on the pressure pushing from the back

[sour pilot]

no, it's more likely "sometimes using manifolds you can't have 600"

[fathom shuttle]

I have it on high and I’m getting 40-45fps, mostly ok with it since the difference vs 60fps is negligible because I have a terrible monitor

[mystic oriole]

so is it just better to use 2 mk1 pipes than 1 mk2?

[fathom shuttle]

Yes, less piping to deal with

[viscid escarp]

The game keeps crashing

[mystic oriole]

sounds like it would be more piping to deal with, but since you can't get perfect flow on a mk2 pipe but can with a mk1.

[gaunt tulip]

Thanks for the response. This should of been highlighted prior to release of Version 1.1, but I will take your response as confirmation that both rivers and streams (of a certain size), and waterfalls, all have "water force" and will move both Pioneers and Creatures.

[fathom shuttle]

Nvidia?

[viscid escarp]

Yes

[sour pilot]

you can get a perfect flow from mk2, but not at all situations

[fathom shuttle]

Welcome to the state of NVIDIA drivers in 2025 then

[viscid escarp]

I never had problems before 1.1 came out

[fathom shuttle]

Why not saturate the lines then? Especially if it’s water

[clever pier]

i just use mk2 pipes for everything when I unlock them

[fluid sapphire]

i just noticed how incredibly misaligned conveyor lifts look when connected directly to inputs/outputs. googling seems to indicate that this has been going on for a while, but i could swear it wasnt like this when i bought the game in october, what gives

[viscid escarp]

Why 1.1 keep crashing

[hard ivy]

mods?

[viscid escarp]

Yes

[fluid sapphire]

i also have crashes, without mods

[hard ivy]

make sure SML is 3.11.1, not 3.11.0. 3.11.0 crashed like crazy for me

[fathom shuttle]

Get the logs and post in questions and help, the update was kinda rushed it seems

[mystic oriole]

I use mk2's for short distances. I try not to add outputs into a mk2 unless it's water.

[viscid escarp]

You smm

[void gorge]

It should have been highlighted prior to 1.0 if it wasn't :p

[abstract heron]

Mikael

[void gorge]

But ye, cheers!

[abstract heron]

did u update the YT chanel yyet for playlists 🙂

[void gorge]

Nope

[abstract heron]

ill keep at you until u do 🙂

can u PLEASE do it today and is there a friday video?

[void gorge]

Keep at it, it's veeery low on the prio list

And again, this week's video was released 2 days ago

[abstract heron]

Oh okay

Enjoy the weekend

One more thing does the sign arrow why does it only APPLYS to walls not placing on foundations?

or with the post mikael

[mossy coral]

better be dyson sphere building for more power

[gaunt tulip]

AFAIK, the only mention of "water force" being eventually added was from an old 2020 Devlog featuring CSS Technical Artist Ben de Hullu.

Yo havnt played in a long arse time at this point, just started up a new game, whoever decided on having a ton of aussie slang at the start of a new game I fucking love you. absolutely stunned when I saw the subtitles lol

[maiden jacinth]

how good is turbofuel

[maiden jacinth]

what aussie slang

[hard ivy]

not very

oil efficient and that's it

[clever pier]

ther best thing about turbo fuel is you need it to make rocket fuel

[hard ivy]

you don't

[clever pier]

theres an alt without it?

[hard ivy]

yes

[frozen ingot]

good for the jetpack though

[hard ivy]

turbo? nah

[frozen ingot]

i never use turbofuel for power but always package some for jetpack

[fathom shuttle]

What’s your yt channel

[frozen ingot]

yah!

[maiden jacinth]

just kinda working on the sulfer tree and was wondering if I should burn the hd on it now or wait

[hard ivy]

i'd say wait until t8 for rocket fuel

[stone zodiac]

at the start of a new game, Im guessing its like region locked or something but theres subtitles talking about tradies and building the hub to get some pies n a bunch of other stuff

[lucid pagoda]

by T8 arent there better fuel recipes anyways?

[unkempt blade]

I don't use YT I just put my videos on cdroms and leave them at random places around the city I live it. Satisfactory drives inspired me

[hard ivy]

better than rocket fuel? not really

[unkempt blade]

when someone cracks open that abandoned fridge in my neighbor's backyard they're going to be pleasantly surprised by the production quality though

[lucid pagoda]

OH i didnt notice u said rocket fuel, mb, i just saw "wait until T8"

[clever pier]

ionised fuel is "better" in that it has more kilojoules but its obscenely expensive

[hard ivy]

turning rocket into ionized loses energy. on top of it being insanely expensive

[clever pier]

but maybe the dark matter alt is better

[lucid pagoda]

yea, i haven't gotten there but it sounds expenive

[clever pier]

theres an alt that doesn't need power shards

[lucid pagoda]

IT USES POWER SHARDS??????????

wow

[unkempt blade]

just need enough to make my jetpack go whooooooosh

[hard ivy]

it's worse. costs over double the rocket fuel

[clever pier]

|| you unlock a way to create synthetic power shards in phase 9 ||

[lucid pagoda]

i know but the fact that a fuel type requires that complicated of a setup is wild to me

[burnt ferry]

theres also organic powershards farmed by doggos 👹

[ivory condor]

Yep and there is no alts to get rid of it, why you shouldnt used ionized fuel for power, its literally the worst fuel to use for generators

[unkempt blade]

that's how a lot of endgame recipes work though

[hard ivy]

I wouldn't mind complicated if it was good but it's dogshit

[ivory condor]

needless to say rocket fuel is 1000% better for power compared to ionized fuel

[fathom shuttle]

Before I start this build, is there a better way to smelt items and process them using smelters and constructors? At tier 4

[clever pier]

I only feed my factory 100 percent organic power shards

[reef basin]

build with what you have now, future factories can use new tech (if you unlock it) 🙂

[clever pier]

still I'm gonna make ionised fuel in small amounts just to test it in the jetpack

[burnt ferry]

doesnt hurt to go a little scouting in tier 4

steel screws!

[hard ivy]

it's good for the jetpack

[unkempt blade]

don't let all these ionized haters see how complicated nuclear is 😆

[fathom shuttle]

Steel? Like with steel ingots?

[winter mulch]

I am literally not able to connect an output of a machine to a floor hole next to it, via a conveyor lift. I know it's a known bug that somehow resurfaced in 1.1, reported many times on the Q&A site it seems. I can't be the only one (?) Any acknowledgement from the devs?

[ivory condor]

It's the only thing its unfortunately good for, its simply to expensive to use for anything else

[clever pier]

power efficiency doesn't really matter in the end game. I have way more power than I needd

[burnt ferry]

no steel beams... the iron : screw ratio and also the crafting speed is insane

one constructor can yield > 1000 screws/min

[fathom shuttle]

OC?

[burnt ferry]

i basically have only one constructor for screws until now 😂

[unkempt blade]

that's why I run way more trains than I need - I like seeing them zoom around and energy is just a number by then

[fathom shuttle]

Max belt speed is 270 tho

[burnt ferry]

ye fully oc.. so this means you need like 2 shards or so to saturate an mk5 belt

[hard ivy]

it's 1200

[burnt ferry]

ye i tthink thats the oc yield from that recipe

[fathom shuttle]

Only have mk3 unlocked unfortunately

[burnt ferry]

doesnt matter for this one

[clever pier]

insert drake meme: rocket fuel gens, NUH. nuclear, NUH. BOTHJ: thumbs up

[burnt ferry]

point being: steel screws will saturaate ALL belts per one constructor with only little input of steel beams

[clever pier]

are you my brother from another mother?

[burnt ferry]

so in the early game yo can craft screws with very lower power demand

[hard ivy]

and what for? all but one recipe using screws is trash

[burnt ferry]

and then increase output step by step

[unkempt blade]

Thomas?!?! Is it really you?

[clever pier]

i have like three times more trains than I need just cause I like watching them

[unkempt blade]

it's also why I have factory carts everywhere, the factory feels a lot more alive

[clever pier]

I'm gonna make some one hour videos of just watching the train junctions and upload to youtube

[burnt ferry]

when you have unlocked all alts things will be different anyways.. until then steel screws it is

[leaden ether]

Yeah I'm kind of disappointed at how little need for trains I have in my current save. THinking of planning a new one around them specifically

[slate magnet]

do you have a partner?

[burnt ferry]

i have a bunch of recipes using screws.. can be replaced prolly but why bothering when this thin gjust ejaculates screws like amaniac

[hard ivy]

i'd rather not waste an alt on screws in the first place.

[slate magnet]

are you taken?

[unkempt blade]

I don't think you like any recipes 😆

[clever pier]

lmao I'm married to my cats

[hard ivy]

and by steel, you have access to all screwless alts

[slate magnet]

wanna come look at my trains?

[hard ivy]

I like HEF

[burnt ferry]

bruh... lets stop it here.. im not even convinced that screws are as unnecessary as you claim they are.. like i can think of how they could.. but as far as i can tell you need lots early game

[clever pier]

might be a long flight, I live in Thailand

[slate magnet]

in game lmao

[hard ivy]

you need need them only for rotors and only until you unlock steel

[sharp rivet]

help i cant join multiplauyer game

[fathom shuttle]

Iron plates and rotors?

[burnt ferry]

all good mate.. youre crazy player for sure!

best in the world +++

[clever pier]

post a viddeo of your trains on the streams and viddeos channel

[slate magnet]

I love screws.

To make screws I made a megafactory building them from coal. I turn coal into sulfur and sulfur into limestone using converters. Limestone then gets converted 1:2 into iron ore.

And I use the iron to make steel ingots, from that you make some steel beams and you get many many screws. It takes only 50 000MW

And I sink it all

[burnt ferry]

just learned nobody needs screws.. what are you? a noob?

😂

[clever pier]

this was a few weeks ago, I have more trains now https://discordapp.com/channels/370472939054956546/553257340108013568/1375434883190489229

[burnt ferry]

but you are doing sometihing wrong in your steel beam setup

[fathom shuttle]

Can I make smelter 2 high?

[unkempt blade]

@slate magnet how's my freehand 4 way intersection? #screenshots message

[burnt ferry]

you mean stacking without foundation? blueprint locking and nudging is your friend

[fathom shuttle]

Yes, idk how to do those things you mentioned tho

I’m ok with using foundation tho

[burnt ferry]

press h

then arrow keys

and page up/page down (while in building mode)

[fathom shuttle]

Oh cool

[ivory condor]

I don't know pocahontas

[fathom shuttle]

This makes my blue prints 2x as compact very nice

[clever pier]

applause !

[slate magnet]

here you go #streams-and-videos message

[burnt ferry]

rather make your blueprints connectable

(can be combined with stacking of course)

[slate magnet]

honestly? looks sick. Like literally sick

needs medicine

[fathom shuttle]

Now I need to figure out how convert lifts work lol

[burnt ferry]

order matters... if you place them in the right distance, theyll put connecting conveyour belts themselves..

[unkempt blade]

and the only cure is more cowbell!

[clever pier]

nice setuip with the lights. I like to keep my trains following the curves of the terrain rather than just on flat roads

[burnt ferry]

i always place them lifts first, then i konw where to put splitters etc.. . i then put those.. to then rebuild the lift because itll autoconnect then

[fathom shuttle]

Can I put a lift on the top side of the splitter

[burnt ferry]

and the most important thin gimo is that you can glitch its max height by making it snap into a conveyor lift floor hole... itll snap to any arbitrary length

[slate magnet]

I wanted to do that, but too much work, so I just went slightly above the ground. Will put pillars eventually to connect it to the ground

[burnt ferry]

you want to do this the other way around i think.. which is to put them splitters onto the lift.. you can tell when they loose one horizontal opening infavor of a vertical one

[maiden jacinth]

when im tryin to build something with a decent amount of machines I usually put lifts on everything and splitters/mergers on the lifts

[fathom shuttle]

Oh no it doesn’t show if the lift and inputs are aligned or not

[maiden jacinth]

it makes it easier to move around and see stuff

[burnt ferry]

ye lifts used right can remove a lot of clutter

[burnt ferry]

takes a bit of a practice

[fathom shuttle]

Yea I’ll need to eyeball it

[burnt ferry]

no

it has the same guides as sp[littesr/mergers

its just a bit 'quirky'dont konw how to say it. i got used to it long time ago

[maiden jacinth]

so youre trying to feed a splitter into a lift or what

[burnt ferry]

wait a second.. they said vertical alignment..

thats true.. but there is no indicator at all for that

theres only snapping.. if it doesnt snap vertically you have to eyball it.. or nudge it..

wait u ntil you unlock pipe junctions 😂

[fathom shuttle]

Yes I got it now

I use shadows to align them, works well enough

I’m lucky that it’s dusk

[burnt ferry]

are you simply moving transportation upwards to have space?

[lofty dew]

Everyone's a critic. At least most of the server emotes survived.

[burnt ferry]

because thats a scenario where there is notoriously no snapping.. in more 'typical' lift scenarios, the snapping is more helpful

[fathom shuttle]

Yea, I wanna avoid building a second factory floor cause idk how tbh

[burnt ferry]

by just putting platforms there.. they dohnt nee dsupport

yoou can nudge the platforms the same way to have them snap into the same grid

or use walls

[leaden turret]

I felt your art was the most effective way to illustrate the beanana hammock concept, hope you approve 😅

[lofty dew]

Made me go back and look through all the other awful stuff I made, so my approval has been retroactively given.

[fathom shuttle]

Sounds like a lot of work that I’m too lazy for

[burnt ferry]

bruh

it is one click.. the very same way you put platforms onto the current floor 😂

[fathom shuttle]

now I need to deal with the outputs, I started a factory build not knowing what to use it for lol

[burnt ferry]

i literally wrote 'they dont need suppport' which means you can just have floating platforms

[molten lion]

hello guys, just started playing the game and I dont wanna create a bunch of spaghetti designs
who do yall recommend I watch to learn placement and organization?

[fathom shuttle]

Ohhh well that’s smart

[burnt ferry]

you literally just did the same with your smelter or whatever it was

when i told you how to nudge it up

and then i said 'you can nudge it the same way'... 'too much work' 😂

[fathom shuttle]

Now I can avoid spaghetti splitters and mergers for assemblers

You don’t wanna see my starter iron factory and copper factory

[burnt ferry]

everybody in here can tell prolly

from personal experience that is....... obviously

[fathom shuttle]

Anyway, now I need to deal with power
Miners will use 150 MW, smelters & constructors 256-312 MW
So that’s at least half my available energy budget

Should I double my coal power plants first or build the iron factory first

[burnt ferry]

coal before iron? how have you made the ingredients for the coal generator

[fathom shuttle]

Oh I already have 18 coal power plants built, I’m just expanding iron production

[mighty zinc]

https://tenor.com/view/satisfactory-snutt-gif-5629525167291494385

[fathom shuttle]

My current set up.. isn’t great to say the least

(Nothing works)

[mighty zinc]

hello?

[burnt ferry]

eighteen coal generators are not delivering enough power for your not yet aluminum yielding facility network?

bruh

[naive pilot]

Got an odd question - has anyone tried rebinding up and down nudge to shift + up/shift + down?

[burnt ferry]

i had 2 coal generators until late midgame

and an array of biofuelburners

[fathom shuttle]

I know aluminum uses a lot of power IRL, so is it the same ingame?

[naive pilot]

It's not quite working properly when I do it

[burnt ferry]

i dont even know about irl 😂 im just saying you have way too many generators to have power issues with a savegame that early in progress

[fathom shuttle]

I have 2800 biofuel that I made during the Stone Age

[burnt ferry]

i mean there is nothing wrong with 18 generators.. im just saying when i had 18 i was doing so much more with it 😂

[fathom shuttle]

Aluminum factories irl use more power than the cities they’re located in

[prisma forge]

So many things to keep track of I had to make a sticky note with all the stuff I need to do. I thought it was only a myth. Am I cooked?

[fathom shuttle]

So yeah it’s not looking good for me

[mighty zinc]

oh

[fathom shuttle]

Yeah I’m telling you my iron & copper factories are terrible

[burnt ferry]

i think every big industry complex does that.. like in germany the industry areas all have their own power

[abstract heron]

woops

[clever pier]

it has a hassle using urods with drones because if you have a lot of drones and you use a manifold to feed the urods it takes a very long time for the manifold to fill

so you have to hand feed

[fathom shuttle]

Yea but aluminum smelters take that to a whole different level, a single aluminum smelter uses like 100MW of electricity

[burnt ferry]

15700 kwh per ton

[sharp rivet]

my straight belts arent straight in striahgt mode

[fathom shuttle]

Yeah and you need to melt it quickly, so it’s done very rapidly

[sharp rivet]

yea wahts going on the straight belts are curved

[burnt ferry]

'every step in the process of making aluminum yields severe environment issues' 😂

that sounds like something for ficsit

[fathom shuttle]

Yea the only places that can do this without too much pollution are China and Australia

[burnt ferry]

without too much pollution?

you mean without anyone bothering... too much... about pollution

[fathom shuttle]

China & AU aluminum pipelines are high automated, and most pollutants are captured and processed

[burnt ferry]

a minute ago you was talking about the absurd power consumption and now you are a shill?

[fathom shuttle]

Yea it’s relatively clean

[fathom shuttle]

Wdym 😭 shilling for who

[burnt ferry]

the reason its done in these countries is because of cheap energy

not because theyre doing it clean.. nobody cares about clean.. money doesnt need to be clean

[burnt ferry]

im jk because youre defending china

[fathom shuttle]

Lol no? The refining & processing are exclusive to a few parts of the world because of how complex they are

[fathom shuttle]

What am I defending China from? Idc really care about them

[burnt ferry]

no...

theres alumionum refineries in germany as well

not too many though because costs.. also our resources are depleted mostly

[burnt ferry]

you said its done in chine because they can do clean

neither can they do clean nor is that the reason why it is done there

[leaden turret]

Geopolitics is probably #rules

[clever pier]

why are we discussing this stuff in satisfactory channel?

I changed all my drones from urods to rocket fuel and all of a sudden I have so many excess urods

[finite kraken]

My friend has started the game and he keeps setting his session settings from Single Player to Steam. But after confirming settings he backs out and it reverts to single player. Anybody experienced this?

[clever pier]

luckily I already set up a processing plant for the waste into plutonium rods

[fathom shuttle]

German refineries fell behind in the early 2010s because of high energy costs, but they also do it clean because it’s good to capture the byproducts

Gallium for example is a byproduct of bauxite processing, which can fetch a good price even during peacetime. There are lots of metals like this in the supply chain

[clever pier]

#off-topic-general

[fathom shuttle]

Yea true im just spamming shit

[clever pier]

I will say I like China's high speed trains but I don't like other stuff they do.... now back to satisfactory trains

[fathom shuttle]

You gotta learn from your enemy ykwim

[hoary cove]

so.... where I can go and start translating the game to catalan?

[reef basin]

#welcome

oh, actually - #open-a-ticket , last few messages

[clever pier]

60 packaged rocket fuel a minute can power a whole lot of drones

[patent crane]

so is the wood instead of coal good for coal gens

[fathom shuttle]

How do I make conveyer lifts

Go down

Dude

How do I make conveyer lifts go down

[quick forge]

anyone notice that they updated movement? speed cap is increased or uncapped

[south sinew]

you can drag them in the opposite direction or use reversed mode

[oak hinge]

Yeah i noticed this, it's AMAZING

[peak wasp]

W H Y does the game set the control type back to controller on each launch, now I have to constantly have a controller around to change it back to M&KB >:|

[fathom shuttle]

Is there a way to know which direction my lifts are going

[oak hinge]

You can now slidehop at insane speeds, it's SO NICE in the earlygame when you don't have blade runners yet

[lilac sedge]

are power cables also able to auto connect via blueprints?

or only railways pipes and conveyors

[dusk crater]

Is auto-connect not a finished feature?

[dusk crater]

My blueprints don't seem to auto connect any

Do the blueprints need to be made after the update to work?

[south sinew]

I think they just need to be in the new build mode

[maiden jacinth]

You have to have two conveyers for it to auto connect

[dusk crater]

What do you mean

If I have splitters only, it doesn't auto connect splitters?

Also what about pipeline junctions?

[maiden jacinth]

No

[wet juniper]

anyway to get the damn hoverpack to not zoom to the sky when slide jumping?

[oak hinge]

Don't hold spacebar when jumping, and don't press it again midair

[wet juniper]

why is that even a thing?

on purpose?

[maiden jacinth]

Or take it off

[still ginkgo]

how does one take out 1200 ore out of a lvl3 miner

[lime ermine]

Mk6 belts

[vestal mica]

but the belt hitches and what you actually get is like 1190, or did they fix that?

[zenith pecan]

I'm actually seeing 1200s so far, so my fingers remain crossed.

The throughput counters are surprisingly helpful, one showed a shortfall that revealed I had a mk4 lift hiding somewhere 😄

Uh oh haha, I found another fluff, got 748 out of 1200, time to go digging.

[timber shoal]

whats the easiest way to transfer liquids between floors?

[wet juniper]

Package and unpackage jk

[timber shoal]

without using packagers cause they're annoying af

[wet juniper]

why not just pump it up?

[timber shoal]

i mean like how do i pipe it up there

S shapes and curves?

[wet juniper]

i usually just go straight up

at the source if you pump it higher than your factory and have it come back down you wont need to at the factory

[timber shoal]

pipes can go straight up? i can only seem to go diagonally

[wet juniper]

"Fluid Tower" Essentially

[cyan garnet]

Build mode “horizontal to vertical”

Also unlock pipe floor holes in the awesome shop

[wet juniper]

check #screenshots

just quickly did that for you

[vestal mica]

you never do stuff like that for me

[urban root]

Dam the spams out

[zenith pecan]

🤮

Usually the spam just evaporates, this time I saw a "message hidden from liekly spammer" then it vanished a few seconds later.

[lucid pagoda]

random question, i was looking in the screenshots place #screenshots message what tool is this, it doesnt look like he built it, unless he did, if so thats impressive, but it looks like some sort of planning tool kinda thing

[zenith pecan]

I've never seen that before, it looks like a tabletop model of a facility that would look at home in a building lobby.

[cyan garnet]

It’s one of the new photo modes in 1.1

[lucid pagoda]

thats what i was thinkin, it looks neat

[zenith pecan]

My steel plant had not one, but two mk4 lifts strangling it, no wonder two entire floors didn't work properly.

[lucid pagoda]

so did he just build that? (im kinda slow)

[peak wasp]

Check out my new power plant...its running off liquid biofuel #screenshots message

[cyan dust]

ok so i never bothered with hypertubes until now, so i decided to build a tube launcher with the new junctions that I saw on youtube. you can loop and build up so much speed holy shit

[wispy tinsel]

what made you do this

[cyan dust]

i have an idea 🤔

[lavish magnet]

how would i move a blueprint down in the designer?

[peak wasp]

Insanity

[fathom shuttle]

960 iron ingots up and running

What can I do with all that now… I’m lost

I’ll kms if this anything breaks because I’m not gonna rebuild allat

[wispy tinsel]

i am going insane with my new game #screenshots message

[fathom shuttle]

Wdym?

[mortal pond]

Hey, I'm new, I'd like to know how much hours do y'all have on this game, everything looks sick and I don't know a lot of things

[fathom shuttle]

You can’t move things in the designer unfortunately

[lavish magnet]

im gonna move the designer up

[hard ivy]

you can place a hologram in the designer and nudge it

[fathom shuttle]

I have 22hrs, it’s a game that you learn and expand your knowledge overtime, not something you can learn all at once

[fathom shuttle]

If you’re talking about the ghost of the object you can move buildings individually, but not the whole design

[peak wasp]

but yeah I built it and now I shut it down...but yeah this is gonna be my backup power plant

[wispy tinsel]

i have 850 hours and am still learning things

[lyric sphinx]

Hi guys quick question. Can i localize the game or is it no longer possible to sumbit a form?

[peak wasp]

or if I need a bit of extra power temp wise

[mortal pond]

you WHAT

[hard ivy]

save the blueprint, clear the designer, place the blueprint in the designer, nudge it, and overwrite it

[hexed flume]

Hi guys!
So how do I switch to 1.1 from experimental mode?
Just in the game settings in Steam?

Should I make a backup of my saves just in case?

[wispy tinsel]

you should be able to go into game properties on stream the go to then betas tab and change

[fathom shuttle]

Yes this works

Very nice

[limber birch]

what global lighting mood fits the most? so far for me its moody bright

[hexed flume]

Ок, thx!

[fathom shuttle]

Depends on your monitor tbh
