satisfactory

[last jungle]

u can place them manually further than u can extend a standard support

basically a longer standard support

[median shell]

They double as ladders also early game

[last jungle]

yea

[lavish sleet]

unfortunately i don't think so, i just bought a mouse with a less sensitive scroll wheel for all my gaming 😅

[median shell]

I really really wish they would allow equipment on the hotbar to eliminate that issue. But to answer your question, I don't know :D At least with in-game settings

[vestal mica]

yeah, i don't think so. seeing if my mouse can do it

[last jungle]

frfr

[median shell]

Upvote equipment hotbar on QA site :3

[ivory condor]

Well the game does have a modding api, but its basically for community sponsored modding support, aka not officially provided by the studio, but can even see in some patch notes mentions of it, usually about the modding api they add to the game to help with modding

But I do know what you mean, there was talk about official modding support, aka actual modding directly integrated with the game, that would in theory require no third part apps or plugins to make mods, but so far that has yet to material, if it ever does

[zenith pecan]

Ю

Crap!, wrong keymap, 'afternoon folks.

Another day, another tunnel to dig!

[heavy jay]

I mean the question about modding api was more like an example question bcs i know there is a community made modding api at this time. I am interested in the future of the game in general, like if any new update is planned/being worked on in general. Basically is anything confirmed?

[boreal musk]

as of rn, no

1.1 just released recently

[heavy jay]

i know, and it looks really good, but i havent played yet. just curious if there is something else to expect in the future or if this might be one of the last updates 😄

[stuck grove]

Should I play satisfactory today

[boreal musk]

afaik they arent denying the possibility of dlc, but god knows when

[tranquil narwhal]

I hate it when my satisfactory partners arent online 😭

I may just join another group ngl

[hard ivy]

I have no such issues haha 😅

[tranquil narwhal]

Lucky aaah

Also valid name btw balancer over manifold fr fr

[last jungle]

i just clipped myself through the map with hypertubes lol

[tranquil narwhal]

A right if passage

[hard ivy]

I do both

[tranquil narwhal]

I mean same but

If I can I use balancers

[peak wasp]

I feel sick when playing this game lol

[reef basin]

you should not base your life decisions on randoms on discord

[stuck grove]

Heads or tails

[frozen ingot]

perhaps it was a rhetorical question

👀

[stuck grove]

I like your profile picture

[lavish sleet]

i tried to play satisfactory last night for a couple hours right before bed to wind down. started at 10:30.... i look up and it's 2am 💀

[grave garnet]

Ah, cant hurt ive been playing since 6am EST

[lavish sleet]

dude 😭

i think this is a sign for me to log back on (i'm working an 8am-noon desk shift and nothing ever happens)

[stuck grove]

I want to play it but I feel more motivated if I also told to

[grave garnet]

Alright i may have a problem, but there's no better way to simultaneously get the next space elevator goal and warm your bedroom up by 10-20 degrees

[stuck grove]

Because I've been just laying down doing nothing

[cinder violet]

What is bauxide?

Is it good?

[peak wasp]

Bauxite is used for aluminium production

[sour pilot]

yes

[cinder violet]

sounds even more complicated

[peak wasp]

What Tier/Phase are you on?

[cinder violet]

I just unlocked trains

[cinder violet]

trains

[sour pilot]

you'll get to it later

[dense violet]

Every tier gets more steps

It’s not really more complicated, just ‘more’

[cinder violet]

I wont

[cinder violet]

I already have to make computers, some ai stuff, train stations and now this?

[peak wasp]

That's in the next tier then

[cinder violet]

and my base is a mess

[cinder violet]

I will mark it then

[sour pilot]

you always can redo it if you want

[reef basin]

wdym by "good" lol

[peak wasp]

You don't need trains, I've personally haven't got to using them yet

[cinder violet]

they look useful

[peak wasp]

They are

For longer distances

[sour pilot]

conveyor belts > anything else

[lament niche]

update 12 wen

[cinder violet]

should I priortize computers ove anything else now?

[sour pilot]

but trains look cool

[boreal musk]

late tier resource

[sour pilot]

there is no correct anwser to this, all depends on your playstyle

[cinder violet]

I am stuck right now

I want to make a new base on an open space and I can't find anything good

and also my buildings suck

[sour pilot]

make your own space, clear some trees

or just go up and build up high

[cinder violet]

I will

and I want to make trains that bring everything in the same place

[sour pilot]

that's not a necessity anymore since dimensional depots are thing, but if you like it - why not

[peak wasp]

I'm going to start my 3rd save now, I think I can do even better

[cinder violet]

I am also thinking of this since everything is a mess

but i'm still in mid game

[sour pilot]

you'll find your buildstyle

some guys just loves a mess

[cinder violet]

everything I build it ugly

I started making factories with two floors but they are just orange boxes

a spagetti would be more beautiful than this

[unreal sparrow]

hii i cant open the console for some reason.. its supposed to be ~, ´ or § right?

neither of these seem to work...

[fading flume]

should i fully upgrade dimensional depot ?

[boreal musk]

it comes with experience, every buildings you saw in #screenshots and #design-and-architecture tooks a lot of hours, a couple hundreds, even

[tranquil narwhal]

i thought it was `? or is that just source games

[hard ivy]

I'd say yes

[unreal sparrow]

is it the ´ or the `

[tranquil narwhal]

the ` under escape maybe

[cinder violet]

yes but make sure you also have enough for your factories

[tranquil narwhal]

idk if you need to enable it in settings first tbf

[unreal sparrow]

do i just have to press it? do i need anything else? spam it? idk nothing is wroking

[unreal sparrow]

didnt find anything...

[tranquil narwhal]

shouldnt do 🤷‍♂️

maybe check keybinds or smth it may be there

[unreal sparrow]

ah got it.. tbh idk what i did differently i just pressed the same ` key but this time it worked idk.. whatever

thank u

[fading flume]

Thankss

[peak wasp]

Dude

Everything is gone from Satisfactory Tools

[fathom shuttle]

Chat how cooked am I? Power grid just collapsed

Coal generators

[peak wasp]

Depends

Not cooked, get a few biomass gens

Then kickstart the coal gens

[fathom shuttle]

I need to expand capacity first

[peak wasp]

All my calculations and stuff are gone

It's so over

[fathom shuttle]

Did you delete cookies?

Or clear cache

[fathom shuttle]

You can try going back to old browser windows

[cinder violet]

should i use 1 or 2 meters ramps for trains?

[peak wasp]

Welp, maybe I can redo it all with a fresh perspective

Both my saves have been done without aesthetics in mind anyway

[fathom shuttle]

Oh ggs

[peak wasp]

This save will be different though

[dense violet]

Either works

[peak wasp]

I seriously can't be bothered taking the time to collect all the slugs and stuff

[lavish sleet]

i played all the way through 1.0 in a no-ac dorm so i know what you mean 💀

[mortal ginkgo]

People say stingers are creepy. I say the sound the Somersloops make in machines is creepier

I was like bro where is this sound coming from, and I was like "oh!.... oh.... o..."

[fathom shuttle]

I got power production back up let’s goo

[thorn flint]

just found out you can stack the regular storage crates

[grave garnet]

Me with more fluid buffers holding fuel, than i have refineries that make fuel

[fathom shuttle]

Yea I do that with industrial crates

Connect with conveyer lefts

[fathom shuttle]

Nah I’m still on coal power plants

[thorn flint]

How should I connect the lifts for input, do I put them off to the side

[grave garnet]

Il see if i can get a good screenshot of my power system, i think i did a pretty good job

[mortal ginkgo]

industrial storages can also stack

you can also put the dimensional depots on them too

and DDs can stack on top of DDs too

[thorn flint]

I don't have those yert

yet*

This is my first playthrough I just got the game like 2 days ago

[mortal ginkgo]

Go for it bro.

[peak wasp]

My room just has poor ventilation lol

[olive arrow]

Is there a way to debug crash logs?
was playing the game and it was working fine for a while but now when I play - get about 5 mins of play or less before it crashes.
im only at like milestone 4 so nothing intensive is going on

[jolly flax]

Finally unlocked coal power

Im no longer a caveman

[cinder violet]

why is there no ocean in south?

I can't make coal power becase of it

[reef basin]

there are lakes

[cinder violet]

the closest one with a coal node is 1600m from spawn

it has 4 nodes actually

[reef basin]

make power there then

[cinder violet]

it's difficult but I will

I'm in my other world

[reef basin]

the game is trying to push you to explore and expand

[cinder violet]

I realised

though you don't have to if you are in rocky desert

it has everything

[reef basin]

you should, no matter where you are

[mortal ginkgo]

Rocky Desert also has questionable amount of free space to build for beginners

but still, the only thing holding you is just, walking

[cinder violet]

yes but it's bad for late game

[mortal ginkgo]

because even one single power pole can transfer for TWs of power

[reef basin]

lategame you should have bases all around the map anyway

[mortal ginkgo]

ok I like its verticality, rocky desert rocks for it

[cinder violet]

A while ago I was in my other world where I just unlocked trains

and I went to explore

and found a weird dangeroyus radioctive biome

died 4 times to get my items back

one with red bamboo

[zenith pecan]

Either just uranium deposits that can later be removed, or you found a uranium node.

[cinder violet]

i found all of these

[zenith pecan]

Probably the deposits, one node shouldn't kill that fast unless you stood on it.

[cinder violet]

I didn't die of radiation

spiders killed me

[zenith pecan]

Ahh, for those, 💥

[cinder violet]

Really?

[reef basin]

practically everything in the game is infinite, so not a problem to just leave the items and make new ones

[cinder violet]

I had never though it

[zenith pecan]

I'm always blasting them 😄

[cinder violet]

I had many things ready to build train stations and I didn't want to loose them

[lusty pollen]

TIL you can mine through foundations

[zenith pecan]

Besides, bombing them is WAY easier than trying to shoot the bloody things or melee them, just plaster the area with shit that goes bang and let it all off when they're nearby.

[copper locust]

I tried doing a circular cannon using the hypertube junction new feature which I believe would allow for extreme acceleration with just two entrances!! but it's so hard to control it, have anyone tried something similar yet? Does anyone have some tips for controlling it? Maybe doing it larger would help controlling it?

I'm going to send a screenshot of it on a minut

#screenshots

[cinder violet]

I will. I remember doing that before but I completely forgot about it. Also am I far from unlocking uranium and nuclear stuff?

[zenith pecan]

Without knowing what stage of the game you're at, tier wise etc, I don't have a valid answer for you.

[cinder violet]

I just unlocked trains

[zenith pecan]

Two more tiers then.

Don't rush it tbh, I'm still not using nuclear power in this save yet and I've finished up on space elevator, take that on as a challenge or simple choice when you're ready.

[timid rune]

TIme to rationalise the train system maybe idk

placing rail on this save causes massive lag

[zenith pecan]

I'm doing more mundane stuff, widening a tunnel to move steel to the dunes.

[copper locust]

HAHAHAHAHAH IT WORKED USING THE BRANCH INSTEAD OF THE JUNCTION

[cedar iris]

splitters/mergers dont snap ;(

[lusty pollen]

do you guys keep low tier factories like iron rod ans such or do you entirely repurpose old factories into new items

[cedar iris]

we upgrade them

15 iron rods to 1500 iron rods

👍

[lusty pollen]

so technically keep

[cedar iris]

yes

[lusty pollen]

guess ill need some shmovement infrastructure

[cedar iris]

btw you dont actually need to upgrade it this much

[lusty pollen]

yeah i know lmao

[cedar iris]

that was just an exaggeration

[lusty pollen]

i was just wondering if i should repurpose my starting base into higher tier materials or just get more raw input from other places

[reef basin]

keep, build new, don't touch old

[jovial seal]

does bacon agaric regrow?

[cedar iris]

nop

other edibles do

[lusty pollen]

also i just noticed my fav spot has no sam close yaaay

[cedar iris]

w

[lusty pollen]

nah L

[white dawn]

Sounds like a job for... logistics ‼️ 🌟

[mortal ginkgo]

Real man carry stuff manually.

But then the gameplay character is female so you guys get a pass. Damnit.

[lusty pollen]

cant wait to be able to move items far away

[mortal ginkgo]

even the Tractors are so cute

[thorn flint]

What is the difference between impure and normal limestone

[lusty pollen]

how much you can extract per minute

[peak wasp]

Impure, Normal, and Pure just say how much they output

Impure is half of Normal, and Pure is double that of Normal

[reef sage]

is there wireless logistic in the game?

[fading whale]

Anyone got a proper guide to how auto-connecting blueprints is done and NOT done?
I have this, Blueprint is the Concrete with the pipe supports. They do not auto-connect when I put down the blueprint. And yes. I did select "Mode: Auto-connect"
#screenshots

[frozen ingot]

one thing to note is that there are two auto-connect modes

default and 'blueprint'

blueprint is for when you want blueprints to be adjacent to each other and the blueprint has the belt/rail/pipe right at the blueprint boundary

[cyan garnet]

What do you mean by “wireless?”

[frozen ingot]

judging from your screenshot @fading whale it looks like you need blueprint (auto-connect) mode. You know it will work when you see the blue link icon, looks like the infinity symbol ♾️

[dapper zinc]

what do I do if my coal node is about 500 meters away from my production space? do I just build the generator near the coal and just spam power lines to my base or do I use a 500meter conveyer belt?

[frozen ingot]

always simplest to build coal power plant next to water, and move the coal by belt towards the water

(belts are simpler than pipes)

powerlines in this game are simple with no limits so the power grid is easy

so basically the former but think about the water as well

[dapper zinc]

so i belt my coal to near water and then the energy I just grid it to my base?

[frozen ingot]

yeah 🙂

[granite dove]

pumps cost power and add complexity compared to belts, so yes

[dapper zinc]

thanks

[ivory vapor]

oh no 1.1 came out?? rip the loss of many upcoming hours of my life

[fading whale]

I know what it's supposed to look like. That why I know it's not working
What I have just figures out (and haven't been able to see this documented) is that the blueprint has to include the pipes/belts. Not just the connectors.

[reef sage]

hmm, like its connected without anything being physically connected?

[cyan garnet]

What biome did you start in? There’s an ideal coal power location in each starter biome that has coal and water close together

[frozen ingot]

not sure what you mean by connectors but yes, the blueprint has to have belts/pipes/rails in it

like it won't work with just a pipe support for instance

[cyan garnet]

By that definition, drones? The ports can be placed anywhere and the drones fly between them. But they have to be powered so they will require power lines run to them

[fading whale]

Which is what just dawned on me. Does make it a bit less efficient to do long runs with max distance between constructions.

[dapper zinc]

I have a pure coal node about 100-150 meters away from water so that should be easy, the only problem I had was transporting either the energy to my base (near water) or transfering coal to my base so I can make the generators near me

[reef sage]

ah satisfactory got those too? nice. If u know factorio, its basically the logistic bots right?

[cyan garnet]

Did you start in grassy plains?

[fading whale]

@frozen ingot Check screenshots again. I'øve added these "loops" on one side of my BP. Then it auto-connects. I delete the loops, and can continue with the next bp. Rinse and repeat.

[dapper zinc]

yeah but I moved far since I saw 3 pure iron pure copper,limestone next to each other

I'm in a beachy forest area rn

[frozen ingot]

yeah you don't need to that bud - maybe start a post in #1038092680493801533 and i'll jump in there?

[cyan garnet]

On the west coast? There is a lake with a big waterfall just inland of you with four normal coal nodes

[frozen ingot]

for a big ol' bunch of pipes like that you just need a single blueprint and blueprint (not default) auto connect mode

[dapper zinc]

so i use 2 normal nodes near me than 1 pure node far from me?

[cyan garnet]

Four normal nodes will be enough for plenty of coal power, especially if you overclock your miners. Save the pure coal node for steel production

[dense violet]

wdym 'wireless; ?

[reef sage]

nvm, i got my answer alr. U're quite late XD

[dapper zinc]

how do i remove massive boulders

[cyan garnet]

Explosives

[zenith pecan]

Only the cracked ones can but you can bomb them with nobelisks.

[barren arch]

I have big question, can you make a train go back and forth on 1 track?

[hard ivy]

yes

[zenith pecan]

Yeah, put a loco at both ends.

[barren arch]

ok good I didnt just waste a lot of time

[white dawn]

Just remember that if you do that, it's highly advised to leave it at just the single train going across that section of track. Introducing a second train on the line will make things more difficult (though not impossible)

[untold ember]

is there a hotkey for putting away whatever is in your hand? like an unequip so i can just have empty hands

[zenith pecan]

Press H

[untold ember]

ah, you legend

[frozen ingot]

wasn't always a thing

was much requested back in the day, hah

[barren arch]

oh my godddd

the whole reason I was building a train was to get coal to my computer factory

to make steel

and now I find that you can make it with petroleum coke

[zenith pecan]

I usually use a foundry, not a computer factory to make steel.

[hard ivy]

I don't think I've ever used steel anywhere in the computer chain

[barren arch]

I guess its not more of a computer factory but a whole tier 5 and 6 factory

[zenith pecan]

I have so much rebuilding to do 🤣

[pulsar helm]

anyone wanna start a world with me im new to the game i dont have many hrs i just need sum help and sum fun to do dm if u would like to 🙂

[reef basin]

#1201555265942724758

[zenith pecan]

Next project is to collect all the spire oil.

[fathom shuttle]

Just went into phase 2 boys

I need to get an oil set up running, any suggestions?

[reef basin]

suggestion: do it

[hard ivy]

Get alts before you do anything big

Build on foundations (piping behaves better when level)

[fathom shuttle]

Noted, what alternate recipes should I look for ?

Oil refining unlocks a lot of stuff

[hard ivy]

Heavy Oil Residue, Diluted Packaged Fuel, Recycled Rubber and Recycled plastic

[reef basin]

depends on what you want really. There are a few that give you bigger yield, there are some that save space, some that save power, some that reduce complexity, etc.

[hard ivy]

They're more complicated but a lot more efficient. So at the start I suggest you use defaults cause they're easier, but they're expensive so it'll be easier to use alts if you need a lot of oil products

[fathom shuttle]

Idk what I’ll need, so I’ll stick to defaults for now

I’ll rebuild things once I get more experience

[reef basin]

or build new and keep old 🙂

[hot needle]

I'm stuck on the welcome to 1.0 message, my curser disappears and I can't click agree and proceed 😭

[fathom shuttle]

How much oil can I extract from a single field?

[hard ivy]

Get the jetpack and packaged liquid biofuel for it. It's the best fuel you'll get for it for a while

[fathom shuttle]

A pure one

[reef basin]

depenends on purity and clock speed

the miner will tell you

[fathom shuttle]

I’ll set up a motor assembly line

Seems like I’m gonna need lots of motors

[hard ivy]

And if you need power, make fuel, not turbofuel. Unless you want to get the most power from your oil and/or have coal and sulfur nearby. Turbofuel is generally not worth the effort if you can afford the oil cost of regular fuel

[fathom shuttle]

I have 2100 MW of production rn, with continuous 1300 consumption

Should be enough to spare before I have to build fuel power plants right?

1800 max consumption btw, might spike up to 1500MW but Itll stay below the former

I have a lot of buildings to cull

[reef basin]

generally the best hint I can give is: play the game on your own and only ask if you have issues. Don't let other people spoil the fun of learning from you 😉

especially in a sandbox game where everyone plays differently, it's much better to learn on your own and apply your own playstyle, rather than following tutorials and such from other people and playing the game in their way

[fathom shuttle]

Yea true

I’ll just work on the motor factory for now

[jolly flax]

i just got the boombox and im listening to the hidden drg ost

[lime ermine]

That's my favorite disk

[fathom shuttle]

Bad news

I don’t have enough steel beams, I’m gonna have to cut my steel pipe production down by a lot or completely abandon it

[prisma forge]

Got my motor factory with refineries on top. Up to now I only put some catwalks around them. Should I leave it open? Kinda wanna decorate it with something else

[hard ivy]

just make more steel?

[burnt salmon]

its for making it look decent when everthing is aligned with the world grid. i noticed that i cant do it anymore

[reef basin]

just put it down, run a belt from it, turn 90 degrees, you're on a grid

(and world grid is crap anyway)

[fathom shuttle]

Problem is that the closest unoccupied coal node is 1000m away

2nd problem is that I’m already maxing out my belt capacity with current refinery set up

[prisma forge]

#screenshots message

motor factory

[past torrent]

how do i stop the hoverpack being sent into the depot storage? i just wanna equip it

im pressing 3 on my keyboard to equip it and that sends it to storage now apparently

[fathom shuttle]

3rd problem is that I’ll have to cancel my steel pipe production down now, but I have 20k of it in storage

[hard ivy]

that's a problem?

[noble sleet]

someone know an duplication glitch ??

[fathom shuttle]

.. it isn’t supposed to be?

Ok fine

[hard ivy]

just turn on AGS

[fathom shuttle]

I’ll belt it over

[fathom shuttle]

But you lose achievements for that save

Permanently

[hard ivy]

then SCIM

[noble sleet]

i can't

[hard ivy]

server?

[noble sleet]

no but i didn't finde AGS

[hard ivy]

save, load, load settings (bottom right corner), turn on advanced game settings

make sure you read the warnings and are fine with all that

[noble sleet]

ok

[hard ivy]

if not, then you can use save editing

[noble sleet]

ok

[hard ivy]

right, I didn't answer your question. as far as I know, there are currently no dupe glitches in the game

which is why you need AGS or SCIM to get items for free

[fathom shuttle]

Once I build the encased industrial beams I’ll get it the oil production project

I’m waiting for the motor depot to fill up first tho

[reef basin]

that's the game telling you to expand 🙂

[cedar iris]

@left jetty #screenshots message do the rainbow one next

[left jetty]

We have a whole building that will have rgb lighting. So that counts. ✨ 😂

[cedar iris]

[cedar iris]

🥶cwel

[fathom shuttle]

So how would you handle this?

I have trucks unlocked but idrk how to use them, so do I belt it or use truck for that

The trucks with 24 slots btw

[reef basin]

expand 🙂

build near nodes, ship final product to storage or just put it to dimensional depot

[fathom shuttle]

Only need coal, no final product. It needs to be shipped or something

[reef basin]

build near the coal then

no shipping required

[cerulean star]

Why do I like starting new play throughs every new patch, since like SF 5 and onward... someone please help me lol

[jolly flax]

As soon as I found coal, my biomass gens shut down oof

[fathom shuttle]

Yep after I’ve explored a bit I’ve decided this will be my second factory location

I have 2 pure, and 2 normal iron nodes nearby, with lots of coal and lots of oil

Also 1 pure and normal copper ore, which is pretty nice to have nearby for things like wire and copper rolls

[fathom shuttle]

Lol rip

Start building your coal power cluster, if it’s a pure node you can get 6 coal generators running off of it

[cyan garnet]

8 gens off a pure node at 100% or a normal node OC to 200%

120 coal/minute

[fathom shuttle]

Yea but then you’re limited by water after 6 generators

[cyan garnet]

8 generators requires exactly 3 water extractors

[hard ivy]

just use 2 pipes?

or top up the pipe in the middle?

[cyan garnet]

!wikisearch cg

[fossil ice]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/index.php?search=cg

[fathom shuttle]

Hmm you’re right

Idk why I went with 6 with my first coal generator tbh

I thought the pipe work was too much hassle lol

[maiden jacinth]

If you want it to be easy. 1 underclocked water extract to 2 generators

If you want optimal. 3 to 8

[ionic forge]

I HAVE COAL POWAAAAAAA

No more hand feeding

its cool theres a 120/m patch so close to spawn

[cedar iris]

@left jetty you should make a minecraft house

btw one beam connector is 1m^3

[nova orbit]

Did they talk about future plans at all in the 1.1 launch stream? (I'm guessing no, but its four hours long and I don't want to check. 🙂 )

[abstract heron]

when i start i always focus on rushing to coal and then big fuel

[cedar iris]

big fuel?

you mean like fuel power?

[fathom shuttle]

I guess, weird way to frame it lmao

[lucid pagoda]

in satisfactory tools, when it gives you total count of resources, is that with max miner fully overclocked or is that the nodes at base speed?

i assume its overclocked mk3 stats

[hard ivy]

the absolute maximum possible

so fully OC mk3 with mk6 belts

[fathom shuttle]

If you click on the node it will show you if you want more info

[deep sky]

Every time I see violet balloon flowers in real life I hear the noise that power slugs make... am I cooked chat

[fathom shuttle]

How much are dna capsules worth in in the shop?

[cedar iris]

you mean sinking?

[fathom shuttle]

Yea

[cedar iris]

i think 1000

[lucid pagoda]

Yea 1k each

[fathom shuttle]

Huh

[lucid pagoda]

my fav strat for coupons is to run to pink forest with shatter rebar and a prayer, or to look for advanced parts at crash sites

[fathom shuttle]

That’s not much, can I automate them during phase 2?

[hard ivy]

[lucid pagoda]

no, u need a kill stuff

[fathom shuttle]

Oh sucks

[lucid pagoda]

id recommend just running around in late game areas lookin for stuff to sink, i found a bunch of turbo motors yesterday and got 38 tickets

[hard ivy]

I'd keep those for unlocking drop pods eariler

[lucid pagoda]

and thats on top of the prolly 40 i had aready earned

[lucid pagoda]

i save 5 of every item

every advanced item, the less advanced, i save more of for pods

[maiden jacinth]

If you want something good to sink early

Feed a quartz node into it

Or solid biofuel

[deep dragon]

hello, i just joined this server. i'd like to ask for help, is this the right channel?

[lime ermine]

#1038092680493801533 make a post here

[deep dragon]

found a thread there that answered my issue. was impossible to find via google/reddit! thanks a bunch for pointing me in the right direction ❤️

[zenith pecan]

I kept the found turbomotors tbh, came in handy for my earliest mk3 mines.

[mighty zinc]

Is it too much to ask for furniture to the game?

...just a thought

[white linden]

Is there a way to find all machines with sloops/sloops in machines in any way? Did not find something to do that on the callculator map.

[hard ivy]

manually every one or dismantle a group and check for sloops in the generated dismantle crate

[white linden]

Yeah, I now scanned all machines with F in my factories, I just wondered if it could be done faster.

[hard ivy]

you can dismantle on SCIM, and you get the crate that you can check and then just reload the save to undo

probably faster than anything you can do in-game

[fathom shuttle]

I have 2000 of it

I’m using it as jet back fuel

Oh it’s almost 100k worth of points

Well then

I’ll just have to suck it up until I get packaged fuel

[hard ivy]

fuel sucks as a jetpack fuel

packaged liquid biofuel is much better

better than anythin you can get until tier 8-9 tbh

[fathom shuttle]

Yes it’s kind pointless to use biofuel, not really useful except for little hops to get above buildings

I can make more tho, it’s trivial to make lots of it

I gathered all of the stack I have right now by going around for like 10 minutes with a chainsaw

[hard ivy]

solid biofuel is the worst. liquid biofuel is one of the best

[fathom shuttle]

What about repackaged biofuel

[hard ivy]

tf is that?

[fathom shuttle]

Idk why I said that, I mean regular packaged fuel

[hard ivy]

!wikisearch jetpack

[fossil ice]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/index.php?search=jetpack

[lime ermine]

It's bad, but not as bad as biofuel

[hard ivy]

worse than liquid biofuel

but better than solid biofuel, at least in burn time

[golden axle]

how do I make a hypertube point upwards

[hard ivy]

tilt the normal support up or use a wall support

[fathom shuttle]

Yea I see, I’ll use whichever is easier to make

[cyan garnet]

DNA capsules have their own point system separate from everything else. They are a great source of quick coupons early on

[fathom shuttle]

Anyway, tomorrow I’ll build my second factory, will be a big day. I’ll need to build a fuel powerplant tho for the 5GW of electricity I’ll need

[cyan garnet]

Sloop the remains the protein and the capsules to get even more

[distant lichen]

Hi there, someone can help me? I'm play with my friend, I've it on Epic he have game on Steam, he's hosting the game, and I enter in that save. But sometimes I cant enter, direct ID say nothing found and he have to "exit game" and re enter, and it work again, but if he's afk and leave is game open, i cant enter if he dont reset that

[fathom shuttle]

Yea I’m planning to do that, but unfortunately I couldn’t find any circuit boards so I’ll need to wait until I can make them

I’m saving my power slugs for this lol

[cyan garnet]

Make what?

[fathom shuttle]

Circuit boards

[cyan garnet]

What does that have to do with DNA capsules?

Oh for the unlock in the MAM for production amplification

[fathom shuttle]

Ye

[cyan garnet]

Do you have any plastic? You could hand-make enough CBs for the unlock

[fathom shuttle]

Btw how many do I need to amplify production? does it depend on the machine or what

[fathom shuttle]

Nah, couldn’t find any near drop pods

[cyan garnet]

Amplifying itself only takes sloops

[hard ivy]

usually you need as many sloops to get double as the machine has input ports

[cyan garnet]

Once unlocked in the MAM

So for constructors you only need one sloop

[fathom shuttle]

My save feels kind of broke tbh, my space elevator top part despawns randomly sometimes lol, and when it comes back it stays above me even though the space elevator is far away

[cyan garnet]

I usually leave a free standing one near my hub w a sloop loaded in, and then just rotate the recipe for slugs to power shards, remains to protein, and protein to DNA capsules

[fathom shuttle]

Oh and if I deconstruct something, I lose all the items

[hard ivy]

1.1 added dismantle crate combining

[cyan garnet]

There’s a setting in 1.1 that consolidates dismantle crates, your stuff is probably somewhere nearby

[hard ivy]

so all your items are probably in some random crate 100m away

[cyan garnet]

You can also turn that setting off. It’s supposed to be up to 100m radius but it seems buggy rn

[fathom shuttle]

That could be it then, I have a bunch randomly laying around

But the space elevator thing is kind of funny

[cyan garnet]

Yeah all your stuff is probably in one or more of those crates

[fathom shuttle]

So I’m gonna need 4 if I want to amplify something in the manufacturer

[hard ivy]

yes

[cyan garnet]

Can’t speak to the space elevator behavior you are experiencing

[hard ivy]

but putting in 1 out of 4 gives you 1.25 times the output

[fathom shuttle]

Well, that makes modular engines a little less painful

I need 500 of them and 100 adaptive control units

Which will also need a bunch of soomersloops

[hard ivy]

yeah, slooping handfed machines is the easiest way to get space elevator parts

[cyan garnet]

I usually just hand-load a crate to feed a slooped machine to make exactly how many needed for the phase

You work your way backwards in the recipe chain till you get to base parts you are already automating

[fathom shuttle]

Hand fed? So you’re not supposed to be automating them

[hard ivy]

nobody says what you're "supposed" to do

[fathom shuttle]

Wow you’re telling me that for the first time

[hard ivy]

you can automate them or you can not

[fathom shuttle]

Yea but I’m talking about the common and less painful way to do it lol

[hard ivy]

spelevator parts are only needed for the spelevator

so i dont see a reason to automate them

[fathom shuttle]

Yea I see that now, if that’s their only use I have no reason to automate

[hard ivy]

they're good for points and needed for next phases but that's it

if you automate them, the next phases will be easier

or you can handcraft them every time and that's probably the easiest

but if you already have them automated, you can sink them for easy points

or disconnect the factory and repurpose the nodes

[ionic forge]

if i mass deconstruct do i not get the items back?

[fathom shuttle]

Alr so from now on I’ll be handcrafting that stuff only

[hard ivy]

no, you get everything back

[ionic forge]

wait nvm i see the box

[buoyant turret]

you do, its the same as normal deconstructing

[fathom shuttle]

I built a line for automated wiring for no reason smh

[hard ivy]

^

[buoyant turret]

i just spent the last hour troubleshooting my nuclear plant, only to find that i accidentally deleted a water pipe like 10 hours ago

[hard ivy]

keep a few thousand, you'll have it ready for the next phases

[buoyant turret]

you could sink them, or use them for adaptive control units

[toxic umbra]

is there a place to look for people to play with?

[buoyant turret]

#1201555265942724758

[toxic umbra]

ah, thank you

[buoyant turret]

np

[fathom shuttle]

They’re not a big drain on resources, they use like 10 stators so I’ll stock pile them

What do I need them for btw? More space elevator?

[hard ivy]

yes

[fathom shuttle]

Yea I’ll sink the excess

[hard ivy]

all spelevator phases need like 8k total

without sloops

8100

[fathom shuttle]

Oh alr, I’ll keep it in the background running

By the time I’m done with phase 3 I’ll have enough for all phases noice

[calm wharf]

can someone come in my dms to help me for some reason my pipes have water(im using pumps) but my coal gens dont get that water for some reason?

[hard ivy]

#1038092680493801533 and post pics

[fathom shuttle]

Post in #math-and-meta

I might rush phase 3

Phase 4 sounds more interesting, and I can plan out my second factory there

The 2nd factory will be at least 3x than my current one so I’ll definitely need a lot of foresight

Phase 5 is when I unlock nuclear power right?

[hard ivy]

early tier 8 is uranium, late tier 8 is plutonium and mid-late tier 9 is ficsonium

[fathom shuttle]

So ficsonium is the ultimate fuel source right

[white dawn]

Nah, it's just a way to have "clean" nuclear while also taking advantage of the power gains from Plutonium

Without Ficsonium, the only other "clean" nuclear option is to produce Plutonium rods but then sink them instead of using them for power

[fathom shuttle]

Knowing me I’d probably make a 100 high storage container and dump the waste there lol

[white dawn]

Storing nuclear waste is a 100% valid approach

A lot of folks seem afraid of accumulating waste, but it's honestly not a big problem

[hard ivy]

in this sense

being or happening at the end of a process; final.
yes

[fathom shuttle]

Can I inject it into the wild life or something

[white dawn]

You know how quickly you produce waste, so you've just gotta do a bit of math to find out how many ISCs you want to build

[hard ivy]

in this sense

being the best or most extreme example of its kind.
no

[white dawn]

The radiation spread really isn't as bad as a lot of people feel it is

[fathom shuttle]

Infinitely kicking the can down the road approach lmao

[hard ivy]

it's the final rod, but it's expensive as fuck and absolutely not worth making if all you care about is power

[white dawn]

But yeah, the power gains from using Ficsonium are positive, at least -- you get more power out of your nuclear than you spend making the Ficsonium -- but it's not a lot compared to the U+Pu steps

[hard ivy]

you can just make more uranium, so it's not even that

[calm wharf]

can someone come in my dms to help me for some reason my pipes have water(im using pumps) but my coal gens dont get that water for some reason?

[white dawn]

No need to go to DMs. A #1038092680493801533 thread is usually the best place for that kind of question

(also, no need to post the question in three different channels)

[fathom shuttle]

So plutonium is where it’s actually, because you get higher power density and you can destroy them for coupons? And fisconium is impractical

[fathom shuttle]

Prolly trying to scam

[white dawn]

If you make Plutonium rods, you can either sink them for a "clean" nuclear solution (in which case you get no power gains from using Plutonium, since you're just getting rid of it), or burn them in Nuclear Power Plants for even moar power.

If you do choose to burn the Plutonium Rods, you're left with Plutonium Waste -- the only two options at that point are: 1) Store it forever, or 2) Process into Ficsonium for a "clean" solution, and a bit more power

(or, I suppose, do #1 for awhile until you decide later to implement #2. :)

[hard ivy]

or you can use my mod and make Ficsonium make sense :)

[fathom shuttle]

No mods for me

[white dawn]

Eh, Ficsonium already makes sense -- it's net-power-positive and gives you a full-chain clean nuclear power

I still don't get why anyone's salty over Ficsonium; it's just a nice tidy end-cap to that whole power chain

[hard ivy]

compared to sinking plutonium, not really

[white dawn]

Totally optional, gives you a bit more power, and a fun extra factory to build to boot. What's not to love?

[fathom shuttle]

Are they planning to do a phase 6 of the game

[white dawn]

Because sinking Plutonium is throwing away a lot of GWs. :)

And that just doesn't sound efficient!

[white dawn]

Nope, new tiers/phases are extraordinarily unlikely

'cause they would require rebalancing the map+recipes yet again, and would break functional compatibility with previous saves

[hard ivy]

I asked about Tier 10 once and they said that they aren't saying yes or no

[white dawn]

They were okay with doing that occasionally while in Early Access, but I'd be surprised if they do it again, post-1.0

[fathom shuttle]

So they will probably release DLCs going forward

[fathom shuttle]

Maybe once the game dies down

Factorio’s popularity exploded after the dlc

And satisfactory has better ratings

[white dawn]

Time will tell!

I'd still personally give it a near-zero-percent chance, but I've been wrong before. :)

[fathom shuttle]

Well, a 2.0 update will definitely come in the future so that could be it

[rich kestrel]

i finally got my Ficsit mug 😄

[left totem]

like when you said that nuclear is better than rocket fuel

[peak wasp]

True, actually

[hard ivy]

tbf, just uranium is pretty cheap and not that hard. if you don't mind the waste, it's a decent competitor to rocket fuel. but as soon as you make plutonium it no longer makes sense

[left totem]

and then ficsonium...

[zenith pecan]

Not so bad spinning plutonium rods up to sink, it saves you having millions of barrels of waste sat in a corner or underground/skybox tomb.

[reef basin]

it makes sense for people that don't just look at a few properties

[white dawn]

I don't think I've ever said that nuclear is better than rocket fuel. If I have, then I'll go ahead and retract it. What I have said pretty often is that Rocket Fuel and Uranium Power compete very well with each other, and I'll stand by that

(I've also said that I personally prefer nuclear to Rocket Fuel, for power, but that's obviously a statement of opinion)

[left totem]

Maybe once you may havw

[white dawn]

And yeah, Rocket Fuel's main competitor is Uranium, not the entire nuclear chain

[white dawn]

Sure, and if so, as I just said, I'll go ahead and retract it.

[zenith pecan]

Nuclear, in particular the uranium side of things is fairly forgiving of ballsed up beltwork and will still work well, albeit a little radioactive.

[white dawn]

I'm confident that the overwhelming percentage of the times I've ever talked about it, though, I have not made that kind of claim

[dire laurel]

do anyone wand to join my world

i just starttet 15 mins ago :D

[hard ivy]

#1201555265942724758

[torpid junco]

Anyone know if controller support is supposed to work with ANY controller?

[leaden turret]

one assumes if windows recognises it as a controller it should behave

[radiant onyx]

how to make it so that the hypertube branch goes on the other side?

[golden axle]

My favorite part of playing satisfactory is handcrafting everything to proceed the milestones while my 2 buddies try to build a factory

[cedar iris]

#screenshots message guys what do you think about this

i havent done the wiring and piping yet

[fathom shuttle]

Has 1.1 made any changes to oil production?

[cedar iris]

i dont think so

[white dawn]

Nah, all production is unchanged in 1.1

[fathom shuttle]

Nice

I’ll need to build a proper connection to my main base tomorrow

It’s gonna be annoying

[white dawn]

That, or eschew the whole concept of a "main base" altogether!

Disparate smaller factories spread out over the whole map ftw. :D

[onyx fern]

If I have 8 Coal Generators in a row, all requiring 360 water/min in total, would stationing extractors on either side be sufficient with Mk 1 pipes?

[fathom shuttle]

Well it’s not really a main base, it’s just the place closest to my hub and space elevator but I plan to abandon it

I’ll relocate everything, and connect my factories together

[zenith pecan]

I'm keeping most of my production in the dunes, some in the swamp, and plan for nuclear in the grasslands again 😄

[fathom shuttle]

I just unlocked the crater biome

[white dawn]

Yeah, 8 coal gens to three extractors is what usually gets recommended, and doing a "loop" with those is one way to pipe it so that it works. ie: ```
[C] = Coal Generator | [W] = Water Extractor

[C] [C] [C] [C] [C] [C] [C] [C]
| | | | | | | |
/-+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+-

[cyan garnet]

!wikisearch cg

[fossil ice]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/index.php?search=cg

[white dawn]

Heh, bones beat me to it. There's some other ways to pipe it so that you stick within the mk1-pipe throughput limit. :)

[fathom shuttle]

I’m dreading pipes tbh

Mk2 pipes max out at 600/min

So I’ll need a lot of them for anything

[cyan garnet]

pipes aren’t that bad, you just have to understand how they work and try not to make them do something they don’t want to do

[onyx fern]

Ah gotcha! This and the schematics are actually really helpful lol. I always worry about pipes, so I'm just trying to provide more than necessary, just to be safe

I want to add 8 more generators on both wings, totaling 32 generators, but it looks like the setup you showed will work for this, I think.

Oop, just realized I can't paste pictures lol

[split pike]

Theres not a way to quick sample a color swatch off an object is there?

[radiant onyx]

how to bundle pipes so they're right next to each other?

[torpid junco]

Nevermind i was being dumb, back before controller support i tried playing with steam controller input it sucked and i left it on, so my controller was giving out keyboard and mouse inputs instead of controller

[split pike]

#screenshots message

By careful organization :D.

[cyan garnet]

Stackable pipe supports

[radiant onyx]

ah

because i saw in the trailer like super close together pipes

neatly organised

[lucid pagoda]

asking so i can plan for future, can i have two trains on the same loop going different directions in any way? even if it requires more track, thats fine

[onyx fern]

Wait, I actually just realized I have Mk 2 pipes. Should I use them in place of my Mk 1 pipes while going through with my addition?

Oop, nevermind actually. They use plastic, and I don't have any of that.

Actually, I might be able to make it work

[soft lark]

does anyone know if there’s a mod that send out an alert/code if there the converyor througput monitor is not within a specific amount/limit

[lucid pagoda]

i dont think so but that sounds very useful

[cyan garnet]

Pipe supports and stackable pipe supports, and then the new build modes (straight or curved)

[lucid pagoda]

im not very knowledgable with mods tho so youd have to do some research

[leaden turret]

there's a mod that lets you code stuff in lua, that might work; not updated for 1.1 yet tho

[soft lark]

ok

[leaden turret]

(ficsit networks)

[lucid pagoda]

anyone know about this?

[leaden turret]

that's what signals are for

[lucid pagoda]

i thought those were mainly for merges between different tracks?

interesting

[hard ivy]

They're for managing train traffic in general

[leaden turret]

block signals are for stopping trains from smooshing together by flagging "only one train can be in between two block signals at once"

[lucid pagoda]

oh shit, imma have to do some more research about signals, ty, ive only ever had two trains on a save

[cyan garnet]

There’s lots of videos on YouTube explaining the basics

[frozen ingot]

TIL about !wikisearch 😛

[white dawn]

You could use mk2 pipes, though for 8:3 coalgen setups, you may as well just stick with mk1s

I wouldn't recommend connecting up multiple 8:3 coalgen lines directly with water, though it wouldn't be impossible to get it working

[vapid stratus]

anyone know if I can save my schematics on the production planner thing on satisfactory tools website

[zenith pecan]

Tools will save your plan, you can even hold multiple plans, press the + icon to make a new plan, and name it what you want.

[zenith pecan]

Also the best person to ask about tools is @reef basin he created it 😄

[molten lion]

I got miner tier 2 so is it right for me to just double that?
also when I read it says 75mw per coal gen and 20Mw per water extract
does that mean it needs 20 and 75 for each one of them? or is that the output for both?

[wanton fox]

in single game, is too much cheating give myself mercer spheres?

[zenith pecan]

If you want them, get them, I ended up with extras due to patches respawning some, so have at it, as you said, it's a single player game.

[wanton fox]

ty

[zenith pecan]

I did however delete egregious amounts since it was just too much for my sensibilities, a minor advantage was one thing, silly amounts, no thanks, best way to nuke extras literally is tame a doggo, drop in a stack of unwanted, then let off a nuclear device 🤣 , but that's just me, remember, your game, your rules, so long as you keep such things to single player experiences 👍

[cyan garnet]

A coal gen produces 75MW. A water extractors consumes 20MW

[molten lion]

oooh thanks

[white dawn]

What bones said. :)

[molten lion]

so if with mk2 in pure source
gives me 240

is this descent?

[C] = Coal Generator | [W] = Water Extractor
 
 [C] [C] [C] [C] [C] [C] [C] [C] [C] [C] [C] [C] [C] [C] [C] [C]

           [W] [W] [W]                      [W] [W] [W]

tho abt moving some coal gens to the bottom but I guess that complicates the logistics

[cyan garnet]

I would stick with pods of 8:3, you could build two next to each other and supply with a single mk3 belt

[molten lion]

I dont have that yet

[maiden jacinth]

You don't have mk3 belts?

[frail sleet]

coal is unlocked before mk3

[maiden jacinth]

Then you don't have an output of 240 from a pure source
You have 120

[strong prawn]

Are any other steam deck players struggling to close the “Welcome information” screen in the main menu?

[cyan belfry]

The cast screw alternate is so nice

[maiden jacinth]

Eliminating screws is also cool

[cyan belfry]

gotta make rotors one way or the other

[maiden jacinth]

Steel rotor doesn't need screws

[cyan belfry]

I aint got steel yet 🤷

[maiden jacinth]

Valid.
Getting rid of screws is more of an optional later thing if you want

[cyan garnet]

Your miner output is always limited by your belt speed. So as others said the most you can do from that node is 120/min

[maiden jacinth]

Cast screws do simplify the chain a lott

[wanton fox]

you know, im trying to twist the rail of the conveyor lifter to face front so i can display items... but doesnt work, any tips?

[white dawn]

The diagrams for coal gens generally focus just on the water delivery, since that's usually the trickier bit. For water, I'd agree with bones that it's best to stick to individual 8:3 setups

For the coal delivery, yeah, you can send the output of a miner to however many groups-of-8 you want; that's definitely quite common

[oblique cape]

Houston……..it finally started. Finally, I can play again.

[white dawn]

But even if you've got a single miner supplying (for instance) four banks of 8 coal gens, I'd still recommend having an individual 3 extractors for each set of 8, on pipes that are isolated to just that group of 8:3

[split pike]

Anyone been having issues with truck stations not wanting to activate to load and unload?

[white dawn]

If you're manually hitting load/unload while recording a path, don't worry about it -- it does seem to act a little strange when doing it manually, but you hitting the load/unload button while recording literally doesn't alter the path recording at all

Instead what happens is that whenever your path goes into a station's loading area, the path will end up with a yellow "pause" node, and any vehicle on that path will follow whatever the station's setting is (whether it's load or unload)

You can later go in and edit the yellow pause node to alter how long the vehicle stays there; the station will transfer items at a rate of 2 stacks per second

(So a fully-laden tractor would need 12.5 seconds of wait time)

The load/unloads you do manually literally don't matter at all to the path recording

[split pike]

Yeah, I was trying to manual load it without recording a path.

But fantastic info, thanks, I had been wondering a while how exactly how all that worked.

[white dawn]

Gotcha. It's possible that the weird behavior while doing it manually is related to the station setting itself. Like maybe a station will only accept a manual load when the station itself is set to load, etc

I've honestly not really played around with it much while manually driving

[mortal vapor]

Today's WTF moment, the game changed its language to French. Lack of baguette or poutine noticed.

Also forgot its hostility setting!

Right by a bunch of spiders

[keen maple]

I don't see an intro channel but I just wanted to hello my name is Breezy. I am completely new to the game but I can't wait to figure all this out lol

[lyric gyro]

I have a question

so in order to research something in the MMA you need to confirm the research after it has been done

can you hold the research done and complete others if you craft more mma's and research something different on them

So technically i have everything complete whilst nothing

[white dawn]

No, once you've chosen to research something from the main research trees, you have to accept its result before you can research something else

[lyric gyro]

even on a diff mma?

[white dawn]

For hard drives, you can leave the hard drive choice unselected and scan a different hard drive

[lyric gyro]

yeah that i know

[white dawn]

(btw, it's MAM -- Molecular Analysis Machine)

[lyric gyro]

smh

I always mess it up

Its MMA in russian

[white dawn]

And yes, I believe that the UI won't let you proceed until you accept the previous research

[glossy iris]

Thoughts for potential idea to add: A machine fill setting where the machine does not start manufacturing until it and every other machine in a connected line is full

[white dawn]

It wouldn't really matter anyway because it consumes the research cost when you start researching

So delaying your acceptance of the research wouldn't get you anything

[lyric gyro]

just fill last machines in the manifold for faster spinup

or just let all of them fill up before starting

[white dawn]

You can submit feature requests to the devs via the Questions site, btw. ie:

Sorry I didn't see this earlier, but I did end up going with Mk1's for the whole thing. It ended up looking like this, and it seems to be working pretty well so far.
#screenshots message

I have no plans to keep expanding on it, though I did consider the idea of adding 8 more behind the main row, just to totally cover the water.

[white dawn]

Nice! Looks fun. :)

[ivory mulch]

a puppy gave me a nuke :D what do i even do with that?

[white dawn]

🍄 ☁️

(It's an ammo type for the Nobelisk Detonator. If you don't have that yet, find some sulfur and get researching in the MAM)

Hold down r to switch ammo types, for the weapons

[ivory mulch]

is there a specific reason for it or just for... BOOOOMMMM

[white dawn]

More damage and larger radius than ordinary Nobelisks, I believe, plus it leaves behind a radiation effect which lingers for a little while

(plus different explosion visuals)

[ivory mulch]

I see my boyfriend just wants to blow up my orange puppy

good info ty!

[next umbra]

I think it’s a lot of fun 😛

[lyric gyro]

and a lot of radiaton

Great for cleaning forests tho

[sullen gull]

Only lasts about 30 seconds or so. Harmless if you have hazmat suit and filters by then ofc. Or just wait a minute or so to go back into the area.

[boreal musk]

you can radiate entire swamp with nuke nobelisk

[lyric gyro]

Hear me out

you throw it on a spider, and it becomes radioactive

[sullen gull]

Like so: #screenshots message

[torpid island]

it worked fine for me, should have thought of it as its happened on a few games before

[white dawn]

@tropic torrent (re: #screenshots message ) -- Yes: fluid flow can end up being unpredictable

[west jackal]

My point was that it was the only thing i can think of, its not ideal solution as the game already has a better solution

[tropic torrent]

unpredictable as in potentially not reaching the projected lift height?

[lucid pagoda]

man, liquid biofuel is crazy for jetpack, i just flew from the grass plains, over the purple forest and across the blue crater, i had a mk 3 conveyor and blade runners to help but still

[white dawn]

Though at that level you'll probably be fine? Personally I always make sure to stay in the fully-supported zone, though

[white dawn]

Unpredictable as in it'll seem to work fine for awhile, and then start having flow problems, and then maybe get better again for awhile, etc.

Just general fluid problems

[tropic torrent]

gotcha, thanks

[white dawn]

Pumps are cheap; not worth trying to minimize the number of 'em. If in doubt just put 'em a bit lower and use another one if you have to. :)

[sullen gull]

Always best to just never exceed the headlift. Just put the pump a bit lower, and add a seond later if needed.

[vapid stratus]

ah im sorry I was talking about satisfactory-calcualtor I wasnt not aware of the other one lol

[sullen gull]

Owe me a coke

[zenith pecan]

Ahh, whoops! no problem 🙂

[tropic torrent]

tbh im only trying to minimize everything to teach myself how to improve my efficiency. slow but steadily making myself better at the game

[iron marsh]

Does anyone know when satisfactory is going to be able to purchase on Xbox?

[white dawn]

Yeah, fair! Having slightly more pumps than you might technically need won't cost you much in the end, thankfully. Just a couplea MW here and there. :)

[tropic torrent]

thanks for the info

[sullen gull]

#announcements is all we know mate.

Cooler talk thinks sometime around October maybe.

[iron marsh]

Thank you

[white dawn]

You do technically have slightly more headlift range than the pumps tell you, fwiw

You can push the limits slightly and have it be fine. Like for fluids coming out of machines, the actual headlift limit is closer to 12m than the stated 10m

[sullen gull]

But makes things much easier when never 'chanced'.

[white dawn]

But, as I say, I tend to just stay within the advertised limits anyway; just not worth the fuss of trying to minimize the pumps. :P

[sullen gull]

Best bet is to always place it just below if you get the blue bubble

[white dawn]

(My usual strategy is actually to try and avoid needing pumps in the first place, but that's more of a design decision)

But like the 20.6 that the screenshot was showing would actually probably be just fine, in the end, technically

FYI. :)

[sullen gull]

I tend to do the opposite and try to bring the liquids above the input as quick as I can.

[white dawn]

Oh, so do I, but I generally try to put fluid consumers low enough that I can do that within the 10m extractor-or-whatever limit. :)

Not that I follow that religiously or anything

[next umbra]

Can you post a picture of the pipes?

Ohh your consumers are below the highest part of the pipes?

[bright magnet]

finally decided to return to satisfactory since March 2024 (yeah ... 1 year without playing im having an existential crisis) and im strating fresh new to relive the start and did noticed some stuff changed like the HUB

but my GPU working at 98% without looking bad ... goddammit i blame my pc

[white dawn]

Wrong reply, btw; wasn't me with the image/setup. :)

[next umbra]

Same difference lol

[lean nexus]

So I need 225 concrete a min and I am pre space elevator stage 2 any suggestions?

Need a 675 limestone -> 15 constructors currently using default recipe unless I get/use an alt recipe

[next umbra]

Yeah I’d suggest an alt for higher output if you can find one

[cyan belfry]

How do you manage the feeling of being overwhelmed? Like there's so much going on and there's so much you need to do.

[cyan moss]

Slow down

[lean nexus]

I stepped back from progression to explore and start my item mall

[next umbra]

^^^^ I usually go hard drive hunting and exploring

[lean nexus]

I am in the easy starting area currently, I have a factory making concrete totaling to 160/m but I need to somehow get more over towards there and then build a dedicated concrete only somewhere else

I have the option to take the alt recipie that uses Water + Limestone -> Concrete but I am not that far in the game

Wet Concrete ^

This is for a 15 encased beams/min setup

I could just OC my mk2 miners on existing nodes :/ Im stupid
Also could reaserch the output boost thing with somersloops

[pallid hatch]

What is the most efficient Heavy Modular Frame recipe? default and alts. I have some rubber to spare but dont want to use it unless it is exceptionally more efficient to use it.

[next umbra]

I use a combination of alt recipes. That only require iron. No coal needed. Heavy encased frame, iron pipe, encased industrial pipe, and steeled frame to make my heavy modular frames. Than also stitched iron plates with iron wire alt to eliminate screws as well.

Idk I just hate having to run an extra conveyor for making stuff

[frail sleet]

Chunking. Break down a task into smaller pieces until they're of a manageable size, then do one of them. Afterwards pick another.

[cyan belfry]

Cool

[frail sleet]

Our brains work way better with that kind of approach

[next umbra]

Yeah I used to make builds as if the node was a MK3 miner and it was overwhelming. By just placing something down as if it’s a Mk1 miner producing materials and just adding a second story when I upgrade had helped me manage the immense amount of machines some recipes require

[cyan belfry]

Yea

[next umbra]

It’s pretty intense when you gotta place 152 fuel generators and the accompanying machines to produce the fuel to supply them 😅

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1383266522583007232/1383626094153830523/image.png?ex=684f79b7&is=684e2837&hm=be34bf258177d8ef25420b7bc6b500ed240bcfb71c278e30bb9859df812bff77&

[cyan belfry]

It would be really nice if machines had zoop.

[frail sleet]

Yeah, blueprints are as close as we have

[sullen gull]

Lol, while that may be true, 152 is minute compared to SOME builds 😏

[next umbra]

Oh indeed for sure. I didn’t get too far playing with my friends we just did the minimum

To get research and other stuff unlocked. We did explore the map though by using a hyper tube cannon tho lol

[sullen gull]

Show me a funner way, I dare ya! 😏 (Yeeeeah, I said funner ... sue me. )

[next umbra]

I know I got launched out of the map multiple times before tuned it in 😮‍💨

[sullen gull]

Jetpack is a must for those, to control distance, descent, and landing for sure.

[next umbra]

Until you run out of fuel

Did that a few times 🙃

[sullen gull]

If you weren't aware, holding walk back will slow/stop the travel from the HT cannon. And yeah, same here lol. Ya learn to 'feather' real quick 🤣

[dusty oyster]

Greetings, people. How do I find the certificate for my dedicated server?

[lean nexus]

Yea I needed 225 limestone a minute not 225 concrete a minute whoops

[cyan belfry]

#dedicated-servers

[next umbra]

Oh yeah life be flashing before your eyes when that fuel meter hits zero 😂

[sullen gull]

Keep the parachute on ya. And in one of your first slots, then you can hit tab and then the corresponding number that the parachute is in at the very top (i.e. if in first slot, hit 1)

[next umbra]

That’s not as fun as slapping the ground I’ll admit

[sullen gull]

What's more fun though is when you're trying to land in a powered area, switch to the hoverpack, and try to catch some power before going splat 😏

[next umbra]

How to pancake 101

[untold ember]

is lumen kinda borked? i swear the lights were WAY brighter in 1.0 release

[sullen gull]

Soon as you can though, HP will stop ya in your tracks 🤣

[sullen gull]

They were changed a lot since .8

There are SOME tricks you can do with engine.ini if you so choose.

[frail sleet]

It was apparently a lot better in update 8.

Bad in 1.0+

You can use a custom config in 1.0 or 1.1 and it sucks less, but it still has major issues like light not travelling as far as it should and going through an 8 meter thick foundation because it's limited to software lumen.

[untold ember]

i used it in 1.0. it had good light distance and what not. could light up an area with signs

its doing absolutely nothign right now

[frail sleet]

you might have the nvidia driver that broke lumen

[untold ember]

radeon ; )

[frail sleet]

Dunno then, never used custom configs?

[untold ember]

nope.

just the video settings for lumen on

[sullen gull]

There was a reddit post that had decent info about it, but can't find it anymore unfortunately.

Oops. didn't mean to reply to yours.

[frail sleet]

#1350576664068755476 message

[sullen gull]

Ahh, or that 🙂

[cyan moss]

I only need to be connected to platform services for multiplayer right? for whatever my game is erroring out due to time trying to connect to services

[sullen gull]

Correct. And, afaik, you don't even have to be connected at all.

Unless it's different for those on Epic

[split pike]

Well after 400 hours, I finnally had to learn exactly what the valve's flow rate limiter was for, lol. I spent 2 hours trying to figure out why my aluminum production kept stopping and going. Water junction flow rate was overloaded.

[zenith pecan]

You can manipulate clockspeeds to have a completely separate set of refineries (waste and freshwater) for processing bauxite.

[sullen gull]

Or, if you want to recycle, the best best is to make sure that incoming fresh is not greater than (total needed) - (waste produced.)

[dense violet]

Valves are not a reliable system and are very finicky. If you have r to direct feed waste into fresh a VIP junction is more reliable

[zenith pecan]

Evem the fabled VIP can fold up big time if there is a snag anywhere.

[dense violet]

But not mixing them is objectively the most reliable and unbreakable option

[sullen gull]

^Opinions, and not the only way

[dense violet]

Oh yeah. Sometimes you can build one and it just doesn’t work and needs to be rebuilt

[zenith pecan]

I prefer the separate system over the voodoo method that even the man who wrote the book on pipelines is unsure how it works.

[sullen gull]

The main issue I see with people trying to recyle is that they pump in the total needed fresh water.

[dense violet]

Absolutely- split system if you don’t want to learn to juggle

Just that if you HAVE to mix, probably vips

[sullen gull]

I.E. if you are producing 500 sloppy, which needs 500 water, and your're using properly clocked electrode scrap making 350, then you ONLY need to pump in 150 fresh.

[zenith pecan]

You still need to learn to juggle, just with clocks instead, there is a working system involving an unpowered pimp and a large buffer that causes an alternate approach to priority input, I didn't go with it due to the larger footprint and I hadn't learned of it until I placed 140 refineries and the needed smelters upstairs.

[sullen gull]

But, no matter how you look at it with recycling, never try to pump in more that (total needed) -(waste produeced) an you can't go wrongh.

[sullen gull]

You really don't. MAYBE a VIP junction, but it's not needed.

[dense violet]

The guy who made the video for that one needs to pay for his crimes.

So many people coming in with broken systems trying to use that and linking the video

[zenith pecan]

Stuff up the clocks on the intake group and see how well the liquids work, that was a miner maths problem.

[split pike]

Bah, I didn't even think of using sloppy this entire time lol

Forgot it existed

[sullen gull]

I have been doing it for the last month with the BP I sent you. can try it out if you don't believe.

Every single buffer, except for waste water, has built up numerous times.

[zenith pecan]

Suffice to say I'm staying with the 90%, 2x 105% separate setups from this point on after my craziness refining 120 baux.

[dense violet]

180 and 210s 😄

[sullen gull]

As soo as the output 'releases', everything is back to 100 within 5-10 minutes,.

[zenith pecan]

How did you fit 7 refineries into one bp?

[sullen gull]

I don't need 7, 3 per. imo, trying to match belt speeds is the 'trap' in this regard.

3 refineries, 7 smelters. 500 baux, 200 pet coke, and 150 water in. 500 ingots out

[zenith pecan]

Not much, all my baux intake is naturally on 600 belts that are fully taken up.

[sullen gull]

There are no "600" belts though. You are using 780 belts

[cyan belfry]

I feel like another one of my issues is not knowing what to automate.

[sullen gull]

Unless load balancing

[dense violet]

Everything

[zenith pecan]

Tell that to the throughput monitors, overclocked normal mine = 600 , overclocked pure, divided by 2 due to mk6 throughput issues, 2x 600, those feed quite naturally into a group of three refineries.

[dense violet]

If you’re hand crafting more than a handful of items to get over a hump you’re missing the point of the game

[boreal musk]

is it intended that stackable pipeline color is now following the factory swatch default in 1.1? it was following the pipe swatch default before

[zenith pecan]

That isn't exactly load balancing, I only do that on purpose with Rad-Haz ☢️

[sharp zinc]

guys will this game cause me pain

[sullen gull]

Gimme a bit on a 6x6 and I;ll do the same 'unbreakable' setup pushing 600 ingots.

[split pike]

Yes, and you'll enjoy it

[sullen gull]

The Bp I did was on a 5x5, so space limited.

[zenith pecan]

I never claimed unbreakable btw, I did however aim for utterly simple 😛

[sullen gull]

Heh, take a look, can't get much simpler imo

[zenith pecan]

Everytime I've done something I thought was a good idea, and complex, something has gone wrong.

Clip it and toss up a vid 🙂

[sharp zinc]

im is phase 3 the 50 percent mark

[sullen gull]

I sent you the BP already.

[zenith pecan]

This system is radically different to mine for sure.

[sullen gull]

Give it aformentioned input and tell me if you can 'break it'

Working on a 6x6 BP atm to do the same and give the 600/min that is popiular.

[zenith pecan]

The 600 will make simple clocked belting in straight forward, though it will be a more complex bp.

[sullen gull]

So far not. 4 refineries, 8 smelters.

More complex that is.

[cyan belfry]

I'm not gonna tell you the sins I committed before I had coal

[zenith pecan]

My original refinery design had all the bauxite refineries in one cluster and the alumina refineries in another, it didn't work 🤣

And mine does have its smelters sitting on another floor.

[sullen gull]

It would take some fancy pipe work for sure, but you weren't trying to recycle were you?

@zenith pecan

[zenith pecan]

Here's the setup as it runs now #screenshots message , I was aiming for separate fresh and waste, but initially I failed hard, as demonstrated here https://discord.com/channels/370472939054956546/1379199612908474409

[boreal musk]

i noticed that all the faunas i killed no longer spawn even if the said area doesnt have any powered machines

[quick barn]

THE CONVEYOR WALL HOLES ARE NOT SEE THROUGH?!?! 🤮

[ivory condor]

Glad it worked for you, looks like in my case its the same broken features as in 1.0 and driver switching won't fix it

[stone python]

YOU WILL STARE INTO THE VOID AND YOU WILL LIKE IT

[quick barn]

legit wont even use it now

what a disappointment

[stone python]

do you use floor holes?

[quick barn]

i do, but never even considered it nor bothers me because floors be thick

1000= hours never cared

the wall holes being black is gross

[stone python]

the reason wall holes are not see through is likekly the same reason floor holes arent

[novel jacinth]

my character got stuck in the walk animation after falling to my death, looks like he's dancing XD #streams-and-videos

[quick barn]

im sure there is a good technical reason, i just hate it

[novel jacinth]

the sound just adds to the whole thing imo

[stone python]

it will never cease to amaze me what will bother someone, especially when presented with two identical things and they accept one but not the other. The brain is an interesting thing

at least the conveyer walls still exist

[novel jacinth]

I've been thoroughly enjoying all the 1.1 stuff, especially being able to get materials out of dismantling crash sites since i started a new save, but one thing i wish they added is vertical placement guides to make it easier to tell if buildings are lined up vertically

especially now that we have vertical bumping

[quick barn]

Thank the gods

[stone python]

go make a post on the site, maybe people will updoot you or there may be one already @novel jacinth

[quick barn]

yeah probably will tomorrow

they gotta know it is a bummer, and wouldn’t have done it unless it was a technical issue

[stone python]

wasnt aimed at you pitta, sorry

[quick barn]

nah i didnt take it that way

[stone python]

but you could always make a post anyways

[quick barn]

This community is chill

[stone python]

maybe enough people agree with you

[empty path]

is there an option to make nights longer? im doing a neon-build aesthetic type build, and the day time is too damn long :<

[quick barn]

doesnt matter if they agree if its just not technically feasible for the effort

[stone python]

only via mods

[stone python]

it is probably the same reason mergers, splitters, and lifts all have a black wall inside

if i had to guess

[dense violet]

Mods

[empty path]

Sadge

[stone python]

you can make it perpetually night if you want.

[empty path]

might have to mod it for the day time cycle then lol, feels like night time is fast and day lasts forever

[ivory condor]

I believe its because they are lightweight buildables now, and those allowing them to have such customization likely wouldn't work as a lightweight buildables, this in turn would result in walls in general being less optimized, having larger memory foot print, etc

I think it could work if the walls weren't lightweight buildables, but the problem is they are

[hexed flume]

Can someone tell me, please, if there is still no way to dispose of plutonium waste?

[dense violet]

Turn it into ficsonium

Look at the wiki

Massive pain in the ass though. Just don’t burn p rods

[hexed flume]

Thx!

I saw such a thing, but I didn't know that it could be used in a waste recycling chain 🙂

People also advise throwing it into the cliff along with a tractor.
I was already thinking about throwing a waste into the cliff along with a train 🙂

[maiden jacinth]

you can throw it off a cliff and that works?

[hexed flume]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2608147241

The only requirement is an abyss.

1. Wait for the small waste container to fill up
2. Make a "Tractor"
3. Add fuel to it and make sure the back is empty
4. Mark the waste container for demolition (ctrl key in demolition mode)
5. Approach the tractor from behind
   The following must be done as quickly as possible if you do not have a suit or iodine filters:
6. Break the container
7. Put the waste in the back
8. Get into the tractor. Radiation in transport does not bite (relevant for version update 4)
9. Drive to the abyss and get out at full speed before the cliff.
   That's it, there is no more waste (the main thing is that there is no ledge in the depths where the tractor can fall).

😀

[sly vortex]

are saves saved to the cloud

[hexed flume]

I haven't tried doing it like that yet, I mean throwing tractors 🙂

[sly vortex]

what

[hexed flume]

You mean if do that, will it save normally in the cloud or what?

[sly vortex]

what? im asking a question

are your satisfactory saves saved to the cloud

[hexed flume]

No.

[hexed flume]

Steam cloud synchronized.

Nothing else.

[dense violet]

Just don’t burn p rods

Or use them in vehicles

[cloud panther]

Hey so

If I nudge a building into a cliff face how do I get back to it

[dense violet]

Back to it?

[cloud panther]

To disassemble it

Otherwise servers are just gonna fill up with buildings in walls

nerdpoles are one thing, but yikes

[dense violet]

Clip your way into the wall with hyper tubes. Careful you could die

[lucid pagoda]

i didnt know spiders and boars fight, just led a green spider to a nuclear hog, they dukin it out as i build my highway

[urban root]

steam and epic save to the cloud. This does not include blueprints.

[latent prawn]

yeah, they wreck one another 🙂

[sullen gull]

There ya go @zenith pecan Try that.

Exact same design, except now on a 6x6 and outputting 600 ingot.

And so long as you only give it the stated inputs, can't break it imo.

Er, one sec, one small change.

OK, there ya go.

[maiden jacinth]

starting to plan out a heavy frame factory
alternates are cool

im using like 7 for this

[sullen gull]

Honestly, I may just use this instead of the 5x5... Only need 20 vs 24 ...

Though, really would rather not replumb and rebelt lol

[maiden jacinth]

pure iron
wet concrete
iron wire
stitched iron plate
iron pipe
encased industrial pipe
and heavy encased frame

no screws or coal usage

[sullen gull]

How many you going for per minute?

[dense violet]

Not steeled frame?

[maiden jacinth]

oh yea steeled frame too

[dense violet]

You’ll save a ton of iron if you actually just use steel

[maiden jacinth]

true

idk how valueble coal is compared to iron anyway

[cedar iris]

valuable

were there always auroras at night? It’s very pretty

DOES EVERY ITEM HAVE A UNIQUE FLUSHING ADA VOICELINE??!!

upon further testing no

but it seems a lot have unique ones

[dense violet]

[junior laurel]

There's a list of them all in #story-spoilers

[sullen gull]

She genuinely makes me feel bad with the lines she uses every time you kill a steve 😦

[maiden jacinth]

fair enough
but its more about what nodes are close to each other i guess

[dense violet]

the game forces you to spread out. Use distant coal for power, nearby for steel

[maiden jacinth]

Im not really using coal for power rn

just like 8 coal generators

[dense violet]

you'll want to find a group of 3-4 nodes next to water some distance away. Every start zone has at least one spot like that nearby.

8 gens won't last you long.

[rich kestrel]

if i load a pre 1.1 save will 1.1 be added on top of it or will i have to start a new save entirely

[dense violet]

1.1 doesn't kill your saves

yes but i'm saying will i be able to access 1.1 content on a pre-1.1 save?

[dense violet]

yes

[rich kestrel]

ok thank you
