satisfactory

[dense violet]

eh up to you, I prefer to keep to coal until later. I'll have more oil efficient fuel recipes by then

and if yopu're not using coal for power use it for steel. Not much else going on

[maiden jacinth]

I set up 5 overclocked gens with a normal node
using the packaged diluted fuel recepie and heavy residue recepie

the packaged diluted fuel recepie is pretty funny

[sullen gull]

There are enough hard drives around to get them all

And you can buy hard drives with coupons if one so chooses.

[maiden jacinth]

coupons or hard drives

[sullen gull]

Not sure when they are avaliable in the Awesome shop, but you should have now for sure.

[maiden jacinth]

theres a lot of better stuff in the shop first tho

just go finding hard drives

theyre not that hard to hunt down

and you can use the interactive map

...

I think thats enough for every recepie

[sullen gull]

So, only 18 left

[maiden jacinth]

have you not been scanning them?

well there are more hds the recepies

[zenith pecan]

Got it, cheers, I am about to start work on my slender tower prints, to see if I can make those damned vertical splitters worth anything.

[sullen gull]

But yes, more hard drives than reciepes on the map

[maiden jacinth]

losing sloops is gonna be so annoying

[grizzled flax]

whats the final power slug color and where is it? iv got bluee and yellow

[left arrow]

There are also pink ones, and you can find them by exploring like the others.

[maiden jacinth]

🤔 how much power should I have for phase 3 I wonder

[left arrow]

Well, I was just about to post a picture of my coal power plant 🙂

[cyan garnet]

#screenshots if you just want to show off your build

[grizzled flax]

almost at oil and still no coal gens

[left arrow]

#screenshots message

I decided to build this one to give me an incredibly large buffer so I could get working on oil processing ^^

but to answer the question: when I unlocked steel I made a 750 MW coal plant and it probably would have been enough to carry me to oil power had I not made way too big of a steel factory.

[grizzled flax]

coal is for losers

biomass all the way

[maiden jacinth]

my first fuel power plant makes 3125mw

[left arrow]

The sad thing is, that coal plant I just showed uses a Mk1 miner on a pure coal node... There are three pure coal nodes there.

So to fully exploit that coal, it would have to be six times bigger 😂

not sure I want to ruin the scenery to that extent though

[maiden jacinth]

youll exploit the coal for other stuff later

you can even mix it with fuel

[winged saffron]

satisfactory instantly crashes when i open it

[spark ruin]

Blame NGX

[winged saffron]

ngx?

@zenith pecan

Vertical splitters/mergers are one of the most bizarrely fumbled features

i am pretending that they don't exist until they get reworked or at least improved to fix being out of alignment and BP issues etc

[mortal ginkgo]

I agree that instead of making brand new code that fits the lifts properly, devs choose the option of patching the splitter to fit in

like trying to fit a square box to circle hole

[frail sleet]

even then stuff like being half a click out of alignment and thus not fitting or snapping where they should is a big deal

[mortal ginkgo]

splitters etc also has some extra issues that. I had a splitter that refused to output from certain direction until i redid the belt over and over again

they needed to recook the splitter merger code instead they gave ultra raw lift splitters and mergers

and to be ultra fair I dont know why they didn't 1.1 patch or released it now.

they could do a minipatch for infinite nudge and photo mode and fix auto connect, multiplayer and splitter issues in next one

I just hope this is not a "shareholders telling them to rush for console release"

also game still starts to suffer memory leaks with constant building..

was obviously present in 1.0

[frail sleet]

for the most part 1.1 is like 1.0 but better and you can just ignore the issues, except the multiplayer crash that happens every 10 minutes. That made multiplayer just completely unplayable.

should never have released with that bug

[mortal ginkgo]

yeah its not worse for singleplayer that hard but devs spent some good will on multiplayer folk thats for sure

[left arrow]

I've found that the easiest way to use vertical splitters or mergers is to make a lift between two floor holes first

Just be sure to make the lift in the right direction.

[mortal ginkgo]

the issue is splitters are 0.5m off when put on the lift that starts from floor hole.

it only gers worse from there

[maiden jacinth]

Clearly no one that play tests has friends

[left arrow]

The splitters will perfectly snap in front of belts if you hold control, had no issue.

[mortal ginkgo]

friend is an interesting concept indeed

[frail sleet]

I sent so many reports in experimental

[grizzled flax]

why does my oil extractor have 0.1 oil?

[mortal ginkgo]

huh

[fathom shuttle]

No power

Is the oil extractor’s storage full?

[grizzled flax]

no, the extracting bar is going up and the % is at 90

[dense violet]

easier to troubleshoot in #math-and-meta , post an image of the control panel

[vapid stratus]

where do my photomode pics end up

[dense violet]

#faq

prob same spot as screen shots

[vapid stratus]

oh sry

[grizzled flax]

sent

[reef basin]

They aren't that good tbh

[frail sleet]

@grizzled flaxThe oil is just going into the pipe rather than sitting unused in the extractor

[grizzled flax]

all the pipes are full

[frail sleet]

every pipe, and every machine that it's connected to?

[grizzled flax]

yea

refinery is stuck at 0.1 too

[frail sleet]

did you connect it to the correct end of the refinery

[reef basin]

Move to #math-and-meta

[lavish lance]

wait do they not connect?

do they only work if placed on existing lifts?

[reef sage]

is mouse scroll the only way to switch around things at hand?

[lavish lance]

i think so

[reef sage]

was hoping theres a circle menu for it. the scroll thing is kinda annoying to use when being chased around by hogs LOL

[frail sleet]

Not properly, no 😛

[lavish lance]

[boreal musk]

vertical splitter has fixed grid, making it very awkward to use

its basically impossible to line it up if it has even a 1m height difference

[lavish lance]

oh thats a shame

i didnt get around to playingmuch since the update

[left arrow]

It's basically as hard to align as a tower of splitters.

[lavish lance]

surely thats getting a fix

[left arrow]

It seems like the kind of thing that could be improved over time. But right now they are usable, just a little clunky.

[lavish lance]

im ust gonna gues that if there was an easy way to make them less clunky they would have done it.
But at the same time 1.1 was cooking for like 8 months, so surely that would have been enough time to work it out

[left arrow]

It's a complex game. These things take time 🤷

[boreal musk]

does this happen to everyone? when connecting bp railway with auto connect, your hoverpack just cut off from power until the hologram is done?

[left arrow]

never made it to hoverpack, sorry 😅

[reef sage]

i feel like its such an essential thing to this kind of building game. Idk why they locked it so far away on the progress

XD

[left arrow]

The way I see it, it's like in a metroidvania. You need to experience not having walljumps to better appreciate them.

...and it's more fun to unlock movement abilities than just a new color of key.

[rich kestrel]

this game legit makes me anxious

i'm still kinda new i need some pointers on assemblers because there's some shit wrong with my base

[left arrow]

Underclocking really helps when you start working with assemblers. But what's your issue?

[rich kestrel]

no there's like legit logistical issues with my base

i'll let you guys know in the morning i need to sleep

peace! ✌️

[last jungle]

dude i got 8 hmf from my lizard dogoo

i havent even crafted one yet

[median shell]

Yeah those little shits can be clutch early on

Hopefully they've fixed them disappearing

[last jungle]

those little doggos*

[left arrow]

They gave me about 50 ficsit coupon worth of stuff x)

and like, a dozen pink slugs

[last jungle]

dozen is 12 right?

[worn ember]

yes and it's a bit annoying
I hold space immediately and try to glide back towards the last power connection

[left arrow]

well, 1 at a time though 😛

[last jungle]

yea i get it

[leaden turret]

launch screen should have the build number on it, can check that against #patch-notes or the wiki

[median shell]

Personally the vanilla hoverpack range is too short and it's too slow, an improved hoverpack is one of the only mods I use

[left arrow]

Gosh, I have too many power crystals.

and not enough power to justify using them x)

[dense violet]

well it is supposed to be a construction tool, not a travel tool

that's what almost everything else is for

[median shell]

And that's still what I use it for

[true mulch]

experimental should match stable right now

[leaden turret]

it does mean it won't be getting updated until 1.2

[hard ivy]

I use the jetpack with liquid biofuel for pretty much everything from the moment I unlock it all the way to the end of the game.

I only use the hoverpack to look for mistakes in finished factories

[left arrow]

forgive me for I have sinned... I bought Crystal Oscillators with coupons

...I really need to setup a quartz miner at some point. But for now, Hard Drive scanning is mine!

I am addicted to MAM research

Yeah but I'm far from any quartz and have yet to setup a miner

[maiden jacinth]

I just walk and then drop a bunch of portable miners and fill my inv when Im lazy

[halcyon minnow]

On Q&A what is the HEHE Status? 🤣 🤣
Just doing some house cleaning on open issues and marking them complete

[dapper forge]

should i build a factory(nothing large or fancy) dedicated to steel pipes, steel beams and encased beams? or should I do end products with these raw materials for other parts(in the same factory)?

[timid rune]

up to you really

depends on how you want to plan your factory (whether you are looking at a fixed number of output per min)

[left arrow]

I like having a huge steel beam/pipe factory simply because it means I no longer have to worry about conveyor belts and containers.

[leaden bone]

found the purpose of trucks. When im transporting coal for steel but the distance isnt that far for a train but its a little too far to make a good looking conveyor belt, slap on trucks

[reef basin]

yeah, purpose of trucks is to carry items 🙂

or people

[sullen gull]

So, was going over this with @zenith pecan .. the snap points are odd for sure, but it is doable: #screenshots message

[leaden bone]

i dont see a reason to use them over trains unless the distance is too short to really make use of a train and theres an easily accessible fuel spot

[reef basin]

or you don't want to build train infrastructure - just run trucks on natural roads

[leaden bone]

natural roads are pretty nice

[sullen gull]

In that setup, The first 2m floor is 19m above the miner. Each 1m foundation is at 10m each section, and the last one at 9.5

[dense violet]

Trucks can also move a crazy amount of stuff over short distances instead of a bunch of belts

[sullen gull]

At least one stack more than an ISC for sure

[left arrow]

Over short distances, I just walk xD

Unrelated but wow, Spire Coast biome looks nice. I want to live here.

[ornate haven]

somehow I was expecting the entrance exam to actually continue, idk why

[sullen stream]

I accidentally turned on controller mode and I don't have a remote. How do I disable it?

[sullen gull]

I want to make something that utilizes that arch with the waterfall for sure.

[left arrow]

I'll take a break since uh, I played literally all night, but I might move my HUB there. I'm just too tired of staring at the Northern Forest x)

also, I have so many hard drives to open up, tomorrow will feel like FICSMAS 🙂

[leaden bone]

maybe i should use trucks more often but i feel like its hassle to bring over fuel

use trucks to bring fuel for other trucks

😂

[south sinew]

if multiple trucks are driving the same route, how does collision work? does the game just ignore automated trucks colliding with other trucks, or is there some kind of queueing system?

[reef basin]

they collide, but try to fix themselves if they go off road

[leaden bone]

they do collide but they usually just respawn. Ideally make sure you place them a good distance apart. Its ideal to basically turn off all auto pilot then build the trucks one by one spaced out. When it looks good then start the autopilot quickly for each one

[south sinew]

hmm

so that sounds like it's a kinda bad idea to have a lot of trucks servicing different items using a shared common route?

[leaden bone]

as long as its got some decent space between them it should be fine

[south sinew]

that sounds like a giant assumption that I'd rather not make

[reef basin]

should be fine, if planned properly

[leaden bone]

like if i had to make a guess maybe like 5 foundations apart minimum for scale lol

[true mulch]

no that's overkill

I used a 3-foundation wide road with a road barrier in the middle without issues

so 1.5 per lane, you can bump it up to 2 per lane if needed

[dense violet]

Personally I barely use vehicles until ive unlocked everything and making permanent factories (except a few drones)

[dense violet]

Don’t have the recording collide head on

[south sinew]

well, I was imagining a road system with one lane in each direction, so they wouldn't collide head on, but I was also imagining what might happen if the truck comes on to the shared road and another truck happens to be in the intersection at that time

especially for say, a 4-way intersection

[leaden bone]

i use tractors straight away usually for steel production mainly, since coal is always a good distance away. A belt would be completely fine to do but I just really dislike long belts. But when it comes to trucks I usually ignore them completely in favor of trains

[fathom shuttle]

How do you connect power towers together?

[south sinew]

use a Cable

[leaden bone]

its just like the normal poles

[fathom shuttle]

Ok but I get the “cable is too long message

[leaden bone]

are you connecting at the port at the bottom of the tower or top?

[fathom shuttle]

… there’s one at the top?

[leaden bone]

bottom is to take power out of the power tower for the small poles not the long cables for covering distance

yes thats the whole you know power tower thing

[hard ivy]

with blueprints

or by hand

[fathom shuttle]

I’m blind

[leaden bone]

lol

[hard ivy]

96 is not that many

[fathom shuttle]

Yea 96 is like early game, I have 10k power generators in my world

[leaden bone]

kinda wish there were electric vehicles later. Fuel is a bit annoying

i would use trucks way more than trains if that was the case

i mean drones exist i guess

[green fiber]

Cyber Truck is still a fuel vehicle

[reef basin]

but can run on batteries, like any other vehicle 😛

[leaden bone]

oh drones also use fuel

nvm

[green fiber]

Any vehicle can use batteries or fuels

Trucks, Tractors and such can use a bit more than that though.
Like coal, coke, Biomass

[fathom shuttle]

I imagine trains need a lot of steel beams

[leaden bone]

i dont remember i think its like encased steel beams

no nvm its just steel beams and steel pipes

railways only cost 1 of each. by the time you unlock trains you will be swimming in beams and pipes anyways

[silk trail]

is it possible to copy paset recepies on multiple machines at once? without mods

[fathom shuttle]

Yea

[silk trail]

or blueprints in this case

[fathom shuttle]

Ctrl c ctrl v

[south sinew]

how do you actually nudge? I can't seem to find the button

[fathom shuttle]

You can set it the recipe in the blueprint designer

[fathom shuttle]

Press h

Use arrow keys for left right front back, page up and down for vertical lovement

[tidal swallow]

Does anyone know when the next sale is

[dense violet]

Why would they advertise that? People would just wait

[hasty lion]

why are my trains all bugged after the update??

[dense violet]

Look out next steam sale

[south sinew]

thanks

[hard ivy]

SF was just on sale so not anytime soon

[hasty lion]

Bro there are liturally no trains in front of the next segment but the signal shows red

[tidal swallow]

Do you think it will be on summer sale?

[dense violet]

no one knows. Just check it out when it happens

[hard ivy]

if it's within 30 days from now, definitely not (they aren't allowed to discount it within 30 days of another discount)

if it's later, then it's likely

[fathom shuttle]

In 10 days probably, summer sale is when all games go on sale

I’m gonna buy mafia trilogy and cyberpunk

[slim laurel]

So when? 😅

[dense violet]

if it's not in #announcements it's not announced

[arctic fable]

But its already on wishlist in ps Store

[dense violet]

I'm not sure that affects it being in #announcements or not

[true mulch]

that tells me nothing lol

[timid rune]

time to think about more copper powder

copper alloy ingot it is! (probably)

[true mulch]

it runs on a custom engine but needs to simulate the entire factory nonetheless

[fathom shuttle]

Hmm so I guess not, there’s a really good bundle that can probably go on sale tho. It includes satisfactory, deep rock galactic and valheim, I got it for $15

Def the best 15$ I ever spent lol,

[true mulch]

huh, since when does it work like that?

[stone fern]

i mean you might be able to run it on low settings

[fluid sapphire]

Idk I've definitely seen other games go on sale more frequently than the 30 day interval

[true mulch]

per the new EU regulations, they just can't show the % sale, but it can still be discounted

unless Steam changed their terms very recently

[hard ivy]

huh, I was kinda wrong. seasonal discounts don't count

so you can put it on steam summer sale within 30 days of a previous discount

[warped ridge]

how does the blueprint auto connect work? I built belts right up to the edge of the blueprint, but now I can't seem to connect them seemlessly

[hard ivy]

AC needs to create a section of belt to work properly

or at least that's how it worked in exp

[warped ridge]

oh, so don't build the belt right to the edge?

[hard ivy]

basically, yeah

unless they fixed that issue in the stable release

I made all my AC blueprints in exp so I haven't tested if that particular issue has been fixed

[sullen gull]

Afaik, AC still need a belt or pipe to connect. Can't connect directly to inputs/junctions.

[spice patio]

Need to have belt/pipe stubs, and then set the BP build mode to one of the two new autoconnect variants.

For both sides, cannot work directly on machine/splitter/merger etc. ports.

[hard ivy]

the side you're connecting to (outside of the blueprint ghost you're placing) can be an input/output

[spice patio]

Ok.

[sullen gull]

Ahh, wasn't aware of that either. Gonna have to give that a try.

[warped ridge]

powerlines I can't get to auco connect, can I?

[spice patio]

No, no power autoconnect at this time.

[sullen gull]

Unfortunately not. too many possible connections

I just finished my 4k rocket fuel factory it took forever 😭

Well at least I have over 300GW and won't have to do nuclear

[reef basin]

should've gone nuclear instead

[broken thorn]

I've never done nuclear and I'm scared of recycling it etc

[dense violet]

a 300gw nculear would have been a lot quicker honestly

[reef basin]

recycling is not required

[broken thorn]

I used over 80 overclocked blenders and 70 refineries

[reef basin]

and base nuclear is super simple

[dense violet]

and recycling is just like any other process

[timid rune]

base nuclear is pretty simple yeah

alt receipes was a bit of a pain

[broken thorn]

Well the blue crater had everything I needed so I didn't have to do much logistics just the build itself was insane

But it's fair I should've probably gone nuclear

Anyone else having some problems with the belt straight build mode?

Thing seems really keen on curving at the end

[foggy lotus]

Try scrolling your mousewheel before placing

[simple parcel]

Nope, still happening

[hard bloom]

This might be a dumb question but if I started a server in 1.0 will it update to 1.1 or do I need a new save

[dense violet]

use the other mode, sometimes it doesn't work for all situations

[foggy lotus]

You could try setting the belt starting from the opposit direction. Like B to A instead of A to B. That reverses how the belt will be formed

[simple parcel]

Could be, honestly

[fathom shuttle]

So what can I use petroleum coke for

[simple parcel]

Coke steel

One of the best recipies for steel imo

[leaden turret]

coalgens, if you want

[fathom shuttle]

I’ll check it out, I don’t wanna use it for power tho so I’ll find a different recipe for rubber and plastic that don’t produce it

does the trick with the double train thing work? like you have a train to left,cargo in middle, and another train to right and they go to the station and come back without needing to make a loop

how do I flip a junction?

*branch

[foggy lotus]

yes, actually have this running in 1.1

[hard bloom]

Will my world update to 1.1 of do i need to make a new save?

[white dawn]

You can keep your old save

[broken thorn]

If you had a save from update 1 I'd bet it'd work in 1.1

Just most of your factories if not all would break

[white dawn]

Technically you can still load in saves from the very earliest public version of the game, even! (Though a factory from that early would be pretty unlikely to still work, and could end up buried inside map changes. :)

[fathom shuttle]

A fully overclocked manufacturer uses 300MW

Amazing things

A single machine be using 30 GW

[ember marten]

is iron wire alternate good

[reef basin]

that depends on you, do you like it? if so, then yes, it's good

[ember marten]

idk what i like

[pastel harness]

U said u have a 300GW setup right

[reef basin]

alt recipes aren't "good" or "bad", they are situational, usually trading something for something else (e.g. more complexity, but better yield; or more material cost, but less space needed; or changing resource needed for making something, etc.)

whether a recipe fits your factory, only you can decide that 😉

and since you can get all recipes anyway, it's not "this or that", you can get/use whatever you want

[fathom shuttle]

Only got one lol, I’ll start looking around for more, im not gonna automate heavy modular frames rn so I’ll hand feed the machines

But god damn, I need a lot of screws, almost 600 per minute

[pastel harness]

Many screws

You gotta hold things together

[fathom shuttle]

I’ll get the 2x soomersloop multiplier then start making them, only need 100 or so for the hub and adaptive control units

I’m gonna unlock phase four today probably

[broken thorn]

Yeah

[pastel harness]

Man and I thought my 100 was a lot lol

[broken thorn]

It only took about 70 hours

I'm using 3 augmentators tho

Without them I produce around 230-240GW

[pastel harness]

ah right

how many fuel gens is that

[broken thorn]

Uh around 900 or so

[pastel harness]

Uhhh thats a lot hahaha

[broken thorn]

But I overclocked them all so it's less

I used 1068 power shards

It should be 360 gens

Overclocked

[pastel harness]

Oh nice

Mine took forever to back up to all working tbh

Maybe something to do with the compacted coal loop

[broken thorn]

It worked instantly for me

But I have a specific technique

I use a bp that has a fluid container above the gens, I only turn on the valve once the container is full and all gens turn on instantly and keep turned on forever

My production went from 10GW to 300GW in a minute 🗿

[urban fossil]

I just researched my first hard drive and I got the option of increased inventory space (+6) or an alternate recipe: Bolted Iron plates. (Basically a more costly version of the original recipe. With thrice the input of plates but 50 screws required each operation..)

Should I reshuffle?

[next folio]

My bro did a stress-test to half our coal generators, 3 hours later, i realized, he didnt connect the water back, and we were running with only 2 coal generators instead of 4, i think they passed the test

[hard ivy]

if you don't want either result from the drive, do not take either. Leave them in there, and you won't get them from future drives as long as they're in the library

[urban fossil]

Guess I'll have to search for more drives.. Thank goodness we can just clean them by deconstructing the wreckage now.

With the 1.1 release

[fathom shuttle]

And I’m planning to do a 5GW power system

[simple siren]

is anyone having an issue with the sprint keybinding

my shift key is broken so i binded sprint to left alt but its just not working

[fathom shuttle]

Bind it to ctrl

[pseudo token]

Yeah im having some really strange issues with it as well

[simple siren]

why does that work but alt dont?

[fathom shuttle]

Oh wait it probably reset the way sprint work, if you had it on toggle then it resets back to hold to sprint

Try changing it from the settings

[simple siren]

no alt just don't work generally

alt will not function as a sprint key

its only like this in satisfactory

[fathom shuttle]

Maybe keybinding interference. Guess you’ll need to work around it with ctrl

[simple siren]

man i was getting used to using left alt for my sprint key to

[fathom shuttle]

Yea that sucks, but setting it to toggle on will make it less painful

[median shell]

Alt is used for triggering hotbar swapping also, maybe it's conflicting?

[simple siren]

dang it that makes sense

yeah getting rid of the hotbar swapping fixed it for me

[median shell]

Nice

[burnt ferry]

how do you guys handle bauxite aluminum transport when you have all your facilities at ocean level.. the bauxite reserovirs seem to be all super high in the mountains

well.. considering the southern part of the map around the n00b spawnpoint

[boreal musk]

trains? thats just ramp

[craggy yarrow]

hey quick question, is the speed you get with slide + jumps intentional? like I reached the achievement to get to 140 km/h before building anything...

[burnt ferry]

its 200m

i just accidentally build my elevator at max height

[boreal musk]

yes, just ramp it

or build spiral track

[burnt ferry]

okay so youre saying, you do eventually route a train up there..

[fathom shuttle]

What did bro do that

[urban fossil]

Hey- What's the keybind for photo mode again by default?

[median shell]

P

[reef basin]

should be in your UI

[urban fossil]

Thank you

[boreal musk]

yes, was already a thing before 1.0 and they brought it back

[burnt ferry]

i just build my platforms at that height without planning... was just surprised thtat it roughly matched the height of the waterfall at the western oil reserve

[urban fossil]

I made a really basic (I think) setup for making rotors and I do want a review from the people.

[craggy yarrow]

yea I played early access but I didn´t know the full extend could be this fast...

[timid rune]

love it when your train system gets so complicated it takes 5 seconds of lag to place a single track lol

[sullen stream]

How do I connect my headphones to the game?

[burnt ferry]

plug them into your hub

dont confuse with the electrical outlet for ficsit approved stimulation devices

[median shell]

Plug into PC

Select them (or the port you plugged them into) as the default audio device in Windows settings

[burnt ferry]

i wish there was more to the hub than just minigames and a toilet.. like for example customizable dashboards with modules from the ticket shop.. and then you can control stuff like power switches or other configuration maybe from certain production buildings, or blueprints or whatever... some qol and some more coziness in the hub

[fathom shuttle]

So my first refinery set up will be 1200/min oil, to produce 10GW of power, 150/min rubber and 100/min plastic

Wish I had the blender unlocked though, would make life so much easier

[median shell]

All I wanted after 1.0 was the coffee machine to actually work and we got that with 1.1 :D

[urban fossil]

Posted my build in #design-and-architecture. Just gonna wait for people to review it.

[somber smelt]

where did stuff from the fixsmas went (i came back to this game)

[boreal musk]

packaged diluted fuel exist, and you can make a bp for it, easy loop

[somber smelt]

i cant place them down nor see it on the mam tree

[urban fossil]

It's a seasonal thing. So you'll have to wait until next winter/december.

[burnt ferry]

im like why would i even build it.. you can have a crafting bench at a much smaller foot print

[median shell]

Character customization

[somber smelt]

so should i just delete the factories that makes presents?

[median shell]

And uhhh... Milestones xd

[pastel harness]

Ah see I built my power cus I actually need that much power haha

[burnt ferry]

you just reminded me about the modular component which include a customizer in no mans sky 😂

[fathom shuttle]

I’ll need to get the alternate recipes for it right

[boreal musk]

1200/min oil can easily produce 40GW with hor and diluted packaged fuel alt (tier 5)

[burnt ferry]

but now i know where the desire comes from.. the way you can customize your freighter is so dope..

[molten lion]

how do I get rid of those big rocks on top of resources extractions?

[fathom shuttle]

Hmm I’ll check it out later, can put packaged fuel directly into the gas powerplants?

[fathom shuttle]

Bombs

[boreal musk]

they only accept fluids

[molten lion]

oooh I see

[fathom shuttle]

So I’ll need to unpackage it first then send it to power powerplants

[burnt ferry]

some stuff is hidden behind resource outcrops... which you can get kinda blind for on a bombing rampage

[timid rune]

mmm 130 refineries worth copper ingots

[fathom shuttle]

I’ll put space for it between the refineries and power generators

[sullen stream]

They are connected

[median shell]

Also lore. If you haven't already noticed, the ship that you send milestone resources with from the hub is the same as drop pods containing hard drives around the map, implying you are far from the first pioneer attempting to exploit this particular planet. And 1.0 added a "secret" helmet placed on the map among other things further adding to that

[boreal musk]

diluted packaged fuel ratio is 1:1:1

you can make a bp for packager > refinery > unpackager loop

[burnt ferry]

refineries are super huge.. i would def separate that

make a zoopable packager setup and a zoopabale refinery setup and then use both them blueprints

[fathom shuttle]

Yea, I’m thinking of double stacking them lol

[boreal musk]

no, mk2 bp is enough to build the whole loop

[midnight fog]

Wow, I didnt know that

[boreal musk]

heck, even mk1 is enough

[burnt ferry]

im not saying it doesnt fit.. im saying having two separate blueprints allow more scalability and flexibility

[fathom shuttle]

Quicksave lol

[burnt ferry]

when the combined one doesnt save as much time

[fathom shuttle]

First I’ll need to get the mk2 pipelines unlocked though

[hard ivy]

Why tf would you do that

That's gonna make belt management a nightmare

[burnt ferry]

you heard of autoconnect?

theres none.. you just zoop them refineries

[median shell]

Better get used to refineries. They have like half the recipes in the game xd

[burnt ferry]

ye thats what im saying.. you need refinery blueprints anyway

[hard ivy]

That doesn't really help

[burnt ferry]

then you are using it wrong bro

[hard ivy]

Especially when the alternative is simple loops

[burnt ferry]

no clue what youre doing but its not a nightmare as you said before

[white dawn]

You can fit the 1x Refinery + 2x Packager closed Diluted loop in a single 4x4 blueprint; just requires some creative placement

[fathom shuttle]

I like my spaghetti pure and raw

[celest onyx]

Today I'm commissioning my upgrade setup from 15 uranium power plants to 40 plutonium and 20 ficsonium power plants. I'm so scared of firing up this logistical monster, one big mistake and the whole thing will be glowing like a Christmas tree 😱 , wish me luck

[burnt ferry]

like i said.. theres something you are doing wrong OR you are misunderstanding the context

[hard ivy]

Have fun buffering 10 times the canisters then

[white dawn]

Then it becomes a single-click mini-Blender

[burnt ferry]

within the context your statement about belt management is false

[reef basin]

I can't imagine anything being simpler than "place one blueprint that has everything AND can autoconnect to nearby ones"

so yeah, small loop in a BP ftw

[hard ivy]

Merging the loops is just asking for canister problems

Not only do you need like 10x more, you also need to get the amount correct or it'll either deadlock or drain

[median shell]

I prefer to individually place machines and charge more for artisanal factory building vs mass produced cheap labor

[reef basin]

unless smart splitter and merger is used, but even then it's still crap vs separate loops

[ivory condor]

I don't see a problem, especially with priority mergers being in the game now to

sure priority mergers in the past required a bit special setups to get right but now that makes prefilling systems pretty straight forward and requires one buildable to do

[hard ivy]

the problem is that there's 0 benefit to doing that

[ivory condor]

not sure what the problem is given priority mergers are straight forward to setup and use

[reef basin]

more straightforward than "not needing them"?

with the BP loop you literally just connect it as you would connect a single machine

[tame vortex]

Hi all, do you have screenshots of basic factories, like iron rod, iron plate thank you, I would like to see nice factories with a lot of architecture thank you.

[reef basin]

#screenshots and #design-and-architecture will have a lot I guess

[ivory condor]

well i was thinking more for prefilling the system but given you only need to fill it once, probably not the best use case for priority mergers

[tame vortex]

Yes thank you but not basic factories I mean I can't find them

[hard ivy]

you can items ion BPs so with separate loops you don't even need to fill anything

with merged loops, canisters put into the blueprints will not be enough unless you put in full ones too

and even then, you'd still need a smart splitter/priority merger to make sure the amount is correct

[ivory condor]

hence my comment about priority mergers

[broken thorn]

Best one yet

[median shell]

Idk what's more useless, priority mergers or the old conveyer walls now

[ivory condor]

though canisters i just tend not to use, besides small early game setups, for larger setups i always end up waiting for the alts that involves blenders, then your just dealing with pipes

[reef basin]

well with the BP version, it's basically that (you only need some canisters in depot)

[ivory condor]

that works to

[somber smelt]

is there a way to download blueprints?

[wicked marlin]

I think elevators should have the option to move upside down on a rail. Personal tram.

[lavish tree]

I'm confused what exactly changed with building rail? "easier to build than ever" was to mean "slightly less inconvenient than before but still super finnicky"? Or am i doing it wrong

[shut stream]

I mean... slightly less inconvenient is 'easier to build than ever before'

But idk I don't have rails

[lavish tree]

just endless belts? or are you a trucker

[shut stream]

I'm a phase 2-er

But so far, yeah endless belts

Tried using trucks, spent like 8 hours of my life before giving up

[lavish tree]

I skipped them too, still too traumatized from early access. But i'm told they are a lot better these days

[fathom shuttle]

Is there an easy way to delete things quickly?

[lavish tree]

mass deconstruct, hold ctrl

[hard ivy]

Or SCIM

[fathom shuttle]

I meant items

[hard ivy]

Sink

[white dawn]

Also, if you build with blueprints, you can dismantle whole blueprints by switching modes while dismantling

[rancid rock]

Anyone heard the timeline on Refined Power and/or digital storage being updated?

[white dawn]

Though I see that's not what you'd meant. :)

Mobile keyboard lag! :)

[cursive crane]

holy hell coffee stain gimme the flippable hypertube branch already 😠

[white dawn]

Modding discord would be the better place for that question

(Link is in #welcome )

[rancid rock]

Much obliged

[white dawn]

Though I suspect the answer, as with basically any software, is "when it's ready.". :)

[fathom shuttle]

Whoever is eating from the sink will enjoy all the coal I’m sinking

Oh and I’m getting 4k/min points from this

[fathom shuttle]

W idea

[fathom shuttle]

Yea took me a while to figure that out, I used to delete things one by one lol

[fathom shuttle]

No actually, 20k per minute

[white dawn]

Yeah, there's a lot of qol that's not immediately obvious. Takes awhile to figure it all out.

[fathom shuttle]

This is awesome, so many points from something I was planning to throw away

[cursive crane]

so... is there any known bugs for milestones repeating?
just did Particle enrichment.. and didnt get the stuff. and the milestone is still available

[cyan garnet]

You can use the scroll wheel to change the angle of a curve when placing the rail. You can create a junction on an existing rail without having to mange the splits manually. You can use auto-connect blueprints to quickly build a rail line over distance

[reef basin]

what are your problems with rail building?

[reef basin]

they were good in EA as well

[fathom shuttle]

Are you playing online?

[cursive crane]

on my server yea

[fluid sapphire]

rows of splitters connect fine with belt only on one end, why dont machine inputs connect the same way

[fathom shuttle]

Desync bug probably

[barren arch]

do yall actually bother to calculate everything in fractions or do you just put the rounded numbers from the machines

[fluid sapphire]

i try to get whole numbers wherever possible

[hard ivy]

depends what you mean. I always target a whole number of machines of output, but everything after that doesn't matter

I just leave it all at 100%

[barren arch]

at this point I might just make some excess and sink it off so I dont have to deal with this

[hard ivy]

just let it back up lol

[barren arch]

no?

[hard ivy]

it literally doesn't matter

[barren arch]

It does to me

[hard ivy]

if you care about it so much, just do the math

or use a calculator that does fractions

[reef basin]

I use third-party tools to calculate it for me and then put it into the machine as clock speed

[barren arch]

im doing manual slave labour then

800/9 copper needed for 160 cable xd

[hard ivy]

I mean I'd say that even putting in the clock speeds at all is unnecessary labor, nevermind actually calculating them

everything 100% or 250% and it works fine

[fluid sapphire]

https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production

input what you need, adjust numbers until you get nice ratios, easy

[hard ivy]

you just need to correctly bottleneck it

[hard ivy]

Modeler and FactorioLab can do fractions if you want to be exact

[reef basin]

I like machines that run at 100%
because then machines that are stopped mean something is wrong

[barren arch]

how do you turn on alernate recipies

[reef basin]

the "recipes" tab? 🙂

[fluid sapphire]

satisfactorytools can do it too, just fine

[hard ivy]

I do that for the last ones before a sink. it's functionally the same

[barren arch]

I selected it and its not doing anything

[fluid sapphire]

if you want to make sure the alt gets used, turn off the base recipe

[barren arch]

I want coated cable but its just showing the stock cable

[reef basin]

umm... that's what I meant? (whether it's last/first/all is irrelevant for my point and differs based on what is being built)

[fluid sapphire]

toggle the base recipe off on the right side pane

[barren arch]

its in decimals

[hard ivy]

I thought you meant you have all machines at 100%

[barren arch]

no difference between copying and pasting the numbers from machines and using that tool

[reef basin]

running at 100% (of time)

[hard ivy]

all?

[reef basin]

yes, all machines run all the time

(overflow gets sinked)

[hard ivy]

at every step?

[fluid sapphire]

not sure what you mean, you usually only need to adjust the speed/output rate of a single machine

[barren arch]

im using like 50 alternates

[reef basin]

it optimises for raw resource consumption, so it picks recipes from your selection that lead to lowest resource consumption. You can force a recipe by disabling the base recipe

[reef basin]

no, just the final product of given factory

[barren arch]

And Im using iron as a heavy substitute for copper

[fluid sapphire]

ok, and?

[barren arch]

so you get stuff like 35 iron turns into 65 when purified

and 22.5 wire equeals 12.5 iron

[hard ivy]

then I don't see a point in having all machines at 100% uptime

[reef basin]

again, the point is "if machine stops, something is wrong"

[lavish tree]

but still doesnt auto-connect to existing rail except on snapping points, rail signals only want to go on one side of the rail except on snapping points, and for neat reproducible corners you still have to pre-place the start and endpoints of the curve..

[hard ivy]

the last step gives you all the information you need about that

[reef basin]

last step doesn't give me info about build issue in the middle

[hard ivy]

if one of those isn't running at 100% uptime, none of the machines will

[reef basin]

aka green lights everywhere = fine, yellow light anywhere = likely a build issue

[lavish tree]

maybe I am spoiled by factorio/openTTD by having the cleanest and best working rail system i've ever had.. But every time I work with rail i ask myself "why didnt they just do what factorio did, instead of creating their own janky way of doing things"

[reef basin]

they have practically the same system as in Factorio though? the only difference being that trains do not repath

[hard ivy]

all green lights in the last machines = fine, yellow light in any of the last machines = an issue or manifolds still filling

[fluid sapphire]

yeah, but there is usually a way to adjust your numbers until you get mostly whole numbers, provided you're working with small enough modules

at least thats my approach anyway, i have a ballpark estimate how much i want to produce, then i try to adjust numbers until i get numbers i like

[hard ivy]

having all machines clocked correctly doesn't help with that

[barren arch]

yeah I think I will just make a sink and get rid of the excess

[reef basin]

how do you differentiate yellow light on last machine (working normally, just at X% efficiency as desired) vs yellow light (it's not getting enough resources due to math error)?

[hard ivy]

I said at least twice that I design my factories for the last machines to run at 100% uptime

and only the last ones

that's why I say only the last ones being clocked correctly is enough

[reef basin]

what's the difference from what I'm saying then?
in my factory ALL the machines have 100% uptime

[hard ivy]

I'm saying that this doesn't give you any more information than just the last machines

[lavish tree]

trains dont re-path, trains dont pre-reserve chain signals and have to slow down a lot, stations cant be named the same thing whereby the train goes into the first empty station of a given name, stations cant be re-sorted in the timetable omg, overall signal snapping points leave a lot to be desired, not to mention the new train group capabilities that came with factorio space age

[reef basin]

assuming you do a specific design and don't make a mistake while doing that design

while my approach is generic and works in all cases

[hard ivy]

the difference is literally "clocking all machines exactly" vs "clocking only the last ones before a sink exactly"

the second one is entirely contained within the first one

if you failed at the latter, you failed at the former

[reef basin]

except you have to remember which machines are allowed to have yellow light and which don't

[sullen gull]

I'm so funfused. everything Green or blue or I failed imo lol

Screw it, I'm leaving the typo lol

[reef basin]

I have no idea what the message was supposed to mean 😄

[sullen gull]

I am with you on everything at 100 and am not following the 'last machine' logic.

[hard ivy]

eh, imo it's just more work for exactly 0 benefit

[reef basin]

trains not repathing is a feature (and repathing in general is not needed in SF), trains slowing down means you didn't leave enough space between signals, naming two train stations the same would be weird (given the train always goes to the same one anyway, due to no repathing)

[lavish tree]

repathing for 2 reasons:
-In multiplayer, having 3 "personal parking" stations of the same name, and the train automatically picks one that is empty
-For busy sections, to create staggered 'train buffer' zones (though maybe this one can be done nowadays? not really sure tbh)

[reef basin]

3 personal parking stations are equal to one station with 3 blocks so 3 trains can queue

[lavish tree]

but i painted my train gold and gave it a name... i dont want to take the first one in line

[reef basin]

then make one of the 3 parking spots as yours, and only use your parking spots

[lavish tree]

are you starting to see why i prefer factorio's train system yet?

[reef basin]

no

[sullen gull]

If you'd really like to see the capabilities, might I suggest Hornslet 1.0 Global Rail Network megaprint on SCIM? Or am I off base on that one?

[reef basin]

you can do most of the things you ask for, just differently than you do them in Factorio
and rest of them are not needed in this game due to the game being played differently

not even sure what do you mean by "buffer zones"

[lavish tree]

You are "off the rails" with that one 😉

I do want to build stuff myself but that does look like an amazing creation

[sullen gull]

Badum tsss..

[lavish tree]

"game being played differently" vs "game forcing me to play differently than I'd like due to limitations"

[sullen gull]

I just usually suggest that, plus some of the addons, for showcasing how well a system can be setup.

[reef basin]

game is "forcing" you to play differently because you're trying to do something the game is not about

obviously if you go against the intended gameplay loop, you'll have issues

but that's true for every game

if you don't like SF's gameplay loop, then it's not a problem of SF, it's a problem of you wanting something different

[lavish tree]

the reality is somewhere between my vocal frustrations and your mild glorification

almost done with trains tho. Using it only for the raws like iron/steel product, polymer resin, aluminium etc.
Need to bring it all to a big area where advanced processing will be done and logistics are planned to be done with drones for the middle distances

[lavish tree]

https://ficsit.app/mod/DynamicTrainRoutes the "train stacker" example from this mod basically

it's really nice to prevent trains from blocking intersections if you have more than one train going to a station

and the 'single trakc configuration' i tried to build yesterday in a tight space but had to give up on it when path signals kept giving errors

[reef basin]

yeah, train stackers are pointless in a game with fixed production/consumption

[reef basin]

single track is totally possible

[lavish tree]

what if I want to bring iron ore from different sources to one big foundry

[reef basin]

then just make a queue

the trains won't be able to unload close to each other anyway due to station lockout

[lavish tree]

so a stacker but worse

[reef basin]

so more than one waiting train is kinda inefficient anyway

and sign of too many trains in your network

[lavish tree]

moreso if trains have to travel long distances and might get out of sync

[reef basin]

(which means you have reduced throughput)

[reef basin]

then they will wait in the queue

[lavish tree]

still not seeing why i prefer factorio train system?

[reef basin]

no

[lavish tree]

incredible

[reef basin]

I've played both games and both games have their train system adjusted to that game

[ivory condor]

well megaprinting with scim has problems, so if you can I would avoid using scim megaprints

[reef basin]

you may like one game's playstyle more than another, that's fine

but that doesn't mean one game is better than another

[sullen gull]

Unless there was changes with 1.1, I made a couple saves using that same one mentioned before in 1.0 a few times.

That't not to say they all work of course.

Otherwise though, I've gotten away from using them and make my own stuff

[ivory condor]

Might depend. I found cases in which megaprinting has lead to problems even with 1.0

[sullen gull]

Duely noted, cheers.

[lavish tree]

I'm thinking of putting polymer resin on trains and making the plastic/rubber/fabric on-site, and considering training in also the required water.. viable or a terrible idea?

[reef basin]

generally just build near water

[frozen ingot]

yeah moving water is a hassle

just do it on site, so to speak

[sullen gull]

Moving liquids, unless packaged, generally not so great. And what greeny said.

[frozen ingot]

i think i've only ever used polymer resin for rubber/plastic for storage/depots, or i just sink it

[ivory condor]

Maybe it would be better if a mod could provide a compressed form of water for transporting on trains, it wouldnt be so bad then

[sullen gull]

Not sayying it can't be done' just usuallly personal use cases and thr throughput isn't as good as just building near water.

[frozen ingot]

have you ever tried compressing water? 😆

[ivory condor]

look we have portals for guns, we can do compressed water surely

[frozen ingot]

😄

[warped ridge]

is there a splitter that allows me to do "output here only if the other output is backed-up" ?

[sullen gull]

Smart splitter > Overflow setting

[frozen ingot]

honestly compressing it doesn't seem quite right for the game, you'd end up with folks wondering why you can't compress coal and iron etc 😄

[sullen gull]

Researchable in the MAM

[warped ridge]

oops IDK why I repplied to that message from ages ago lol

[lavish tree]

I guess i'll make plastic and rubber at the oil refinery then.. it has a higher item density anyway for the train (considering the resin-> plastic/rubber ratio and equal stack sizes)

[frozen ingot]

recycled rubber/plastic loop isn't too tricky and has lovely extra yield

if you're into that

[sullen gull]

Worth looking into the rubber/plastic recyle loop if you have the alts.

Most "bang for your buck"

In this case the buck being oil 🙂

[frozen ingot]

and you do need quite a lot of it, unless you're the kind of player who sets up production and then spends 400 hours making stuff look amazing, in which case you're fine 😄

[warped ridge]

we just built our first oil processing, and we're going full fuel, and make rubber / plastic from the residue. we needed more power anyways

[urban root]

Smart spitter. Overflow setting on the side that should divert flow away from the backed up line

[ivory condor]

Don't you wonder though why nobody is wondering why we as the pioneer can have a pocket dimension but we cant have pocket dimensions for our freight cars so they can carry more

[frozen ingot]

i don't, lol, but i totally get what you mean. Welcome to gamedev 😄

[solemn glacier]

doing it on the trains would probably be too expensive for ficsit

[frozen ingot]

pocket dimension clearly a lot of work for the FICSIT backend team

[lavish tree]

i don't have recipes for recycled plastic/rubber, but i do have alt: polymer resin so at least i'll be able to get a lot of plastic and rubber out of a few oil spots

[frozen ingot]

exclusive to Pioneers only

i do wonder about the deep lore

i should resume my fan fiction lol, i wrote a few chapters back in the day

i did have a direction in mind but ended up stopping

[solemn glacier]

it would be cool if they put ficust manuals in crash sites for lore

[ivory condor]

We exist on a planet with literally limitless nuclear pasta production, surely more pocket dimensions for our infrastructure is feasible at this point👀

[sullen gull]

Or pioneer final logs 😏

[ivory condor]

Just tell me how much nuclear pasta needs to be sacrificed ok

[sullen gull]

42

[solemn glacier]

we could also call them pioneer timesheets instead

to keep with the corporation theme

[sullen gull]

Pioneer TPS reports! 😏

[zenith pecan]

Nooo, this isn't office space!

[sullen gull]

They said corporate! It's where my brain went 🙂

[zenith pecan]

PC load letter! 😡 💥

[solemn glacier]

i just thought of something

will tariffs apply to satisfactory?

cuz its made in sweden

[reef basin]

but it's not imported

[solemn glacier]

ok

[reef basin]

afaik physical copies of SF aren't sold

[hard ivy]

to the merch? yes. to the game itself? I don't think so, because it's not a physical good

[solemn glacier]

it would be cool if they sold a version of the big box they were talking about on the last stream with a game code tho

[leaden ether]

Uh, someone wanted to put tariffs on movies so... 🙂

[solemn glacier]

well.. if the files are in the us before the tariffs got applied...

[zenith pecan]

All trying to charge even more due to tarrifs would do with media and games is encourage a lot more exploration of the high seas (that's all I'll say on the subject)

[reef basin]

yarr matey

[zenith pecan]

Ahh shit, I didn't think on how best to add lift shafts to the lower floors of the power station 🤦‍♂️

[barren glacier]

does anyone know why an mk3 belt of 240 is backing up and pausing even tho its being split into two mk2 belts of 120

[zenith pecan]

Hmm, what are you moving, coal?

[median shell]

Tariffs aren't going to effect your games. Although $80 for unfinished or repolishes of old titles is going to become the norm for other reasons

[solemn glacier]

where does it go after that

[barren glacier]

yes

[reef basin]

does it have 240 or 270 on it?

[barren glacier]

240

[zenith pecan]

Check the generators themselves, there could be a water shortfall, or a mk1 piece hiding in a splitter.

[reef basin]

and the two 120 are being processed all the time?

[cursive crane]

someone gimme motivation to make a trainline that circles the map and each biome

[barren glacier]

120 belts are being used up

[barren glacier]

im not working with coal generators, just foundries, which are consuming the 120 coal

[solemn glacier]

think of the scenery

[reef basin]

don't, is pointless 😛

make train lines that are useful, not scenic 😛

[zenith pecan]

Whoops, poor assumption on my part.

[barren glacier]

Dont worry

[median shell]

Mega print an existing one, motivation = killed, still a success

[barren glacier]

Its weird because neither of the 120 belts are backing up

Wait i think ive found my issue

[zenith pecan]

The mk2's won't backup if there an issue in the splitter causing the mk3 to go, are you ... , oh what was it?

[barren glacier]

I used a mk.1 lift in the middle of one of the mk.2 belts 🤦‍♂️

[zenith pecan]

That'll do it 😄

[solemn glacier]

at least its a quick fix tho

[barren glacier]

Yeah

[zenith pecan]

Oddly enough, I have mk1 lifts all over the map, feeding machines.

[solemn glacier]

i try and use the slowest conveyor belt possible for the circumstances

[zenith pecan]

A bit like this #design-and-architecture message , but more successful I wager (I hath yellow lights 🤢 ) old save though.

[hard ivy]

why?

[reef basin]

and then cry as you keep fixing the tracks all the time or get used to them being inefficient 😛

[solemn glacier]

look at the video taromani zula sent

[sullen gull]

Ficist Tip #(I don't remember) Faster belts don't mean faster production 😏

[zenith pecan]

Zoom Zoom just don't feel right, not everything has to move at supersonic speed when that level of throughput isn't necessary.

[hard ivy]

has to? no. can? absolutely

[solemn glacier]

it also caaan let you guage if its producing as much as it should

[hard ivy]

and it's less work to use the same belt everywhere

and no chance of placing the wrong belt

[hard ivy]

throughput monitor

or just look at the machines

[solemn glacier]

those take a while to calibrate and stuff tho

it takes 1s to look at a conveyor tho

[zenith pecan]

Only one minute for the throughput monitor, I've started using those as well as apprpriate speed belts.

Looks cool too, and for the real zoomies, looking at you steel foundry, that 967 throughput looked visually the same as the 1200 next to it, I found a mk4 in the wrong place thanks to the monitor 🙂

[hard ivy]

you can get the first reading within seconds

[elfin bronze]

i drove into this big hole without bottom and died can i get my loot back?

it shows my tractor and lootbox at the compass thingy at the top but i cant seem to find my loot

i built down to the point where i got damage and no loot found please help me i was farming slugs for like 2h and now theyre gone

[sullen gull]

Yyou can try to use a save editor to move the crate to you. https://satisfactory-calculator.com/en/interactive-map

[copper raft]

load auto save

[elfin bronze]

to late

i have multiplayer save with my friends

but lemme try the link

[ivory condor]

unfortunately the loot crate can spawn in area's you can't get it, you might have to scim it

[fathom shuttle]

Just unlock steel screws , Ws in the chat. If I 2x overclock it then it will max my mk4 belts lol

[ivory condor]

it will even count ground beneath other terrain as valid location for the loot crates, making getting to those crates rather difficult

[dire saffron]

Satisfactory

[elfin bronze]

how can i move crates @sullen gull

[fathom shuttle]

Just load a quicksave, you’ll only lose 5 minutes of progress

[hard ivy]

Congratulations, you now get to waste resources and space making and using screws

[sullen gull]

You should be able to right click on the crate and update position

[elfin bronze]

ahhh

[dire saffron]

Satisfactory

[sullen gull]

Nothing wrong with screws. Can easily make 5200 on a 6x6 using Alu beams.

[fathom shuttle]

Lol, the problem I’m running into is that I’m not getting all the alternate recipes that I need so yea I’ll just suck it up

[warped ridge]

with the hypertube junctions, is there a way to set a default direcction?

[elfin bronze]

@sullen gull can i move vehicles

[ivory condor]

It's fine just keep on putting down enough mk6 belts to handle the screws

[elfin bronze]

cuz in my truck there were most of my stuff from the lootrun

[sullen gull]

I've never personally tried, or you could just delete it and have the materials placed next to you.

[zenith pecan]

Whoops, fixing the power stations nitrogen blunder had a knock on effect in the foundry, it's producing 4711 out of 4800 ingots due to the coke stoppage.

[elfin bronze]

i can edit the position aswell thanks still @sullen gull +rep

[south nova]

are there any channels for translations? Specifically Czech translations?

[sullen gull]

Afaik, it's english only in the server. Unless you're wanting to help with translation, then there was a way I thought, but don't recall.

[solemn glacier]

Check for a localization channel/server

Try again please. If it happens again we'll get you in another way

[ivory condor]

Sure. I'm still working on porting mine over to 1.1, will have it done at some point hopefully

Also will need it because scim keeps on making corrupted prints, so I'll need to use mine to clean the corrupted scim prints

[sharp rivet]

7 months in and still havent won

[ivory condor]

Winning is overrated anyways, its all about the mews

[lyric gyro]

Alright, i think i found what i needed already but ty anyway

[ivory condor]

Sure, looking for bp mega printing right?

I think some of those mods are already updated

[lyric gyro]

More like a ghost construction

[ivory condor]

oh

[lyric gyro]

A hologram like in minecraft for large builds

[ivory condor]

thats a interesting idea for sure, still not sure why ghost construction never got vanilla, that is strange now that I think about it

[lyric gyro]

Its easy to bypass to abuse

[ivory condor]

I mean the game already has the base mechanics and holograms, it just isn't done for some reason

[lyric gyro]

Imagine a building that requires tons of resources and you can just make it work by changing one parameter in the settings

and now you have a ghost building that actually works and makes resources

[ivory condor]

well i would assume if it was done they would make it so you cant abuse it that way, like factorio ghost construction-aka its only visible asset but isnt ususable for production

[lyric gyro]

Exactly

[past torrent]

why do my notes disappear when i reload the game? had a whole plan typed there and now its gone lol

[lyric gyro]

You type them in the in game chat?

[past torrent]

wait im so cooked it was under private notes

[lyric gyro]

Aight

[smoky reef]

chat whats the thing behind the keyhole in the biomass burner

[fathom shuttle]

So if I’m feeding a manufacture items, do I need to segregate where I store the items or will it work if I just use a single storage container that I dump all the items I need into

[sullen gull]

You still need to unlock the center SAM line

[hard ivy]

mixing items is not a good idea unless you really know what you're doing

[sullen gull]

Those side branches need the center completed as well before the rest in the lines open up.

[rapid wren]

a single damn nuclear pasta wants 600 copper ingots per min

wtf game, relax

[sullen gull]

If you feel you must mix, Smart/Programmable splitters are your tools. But as KYo097 stated, nbest to keep things separate.

[sullen gull]

Pure Copper Ingot is your friend 🙂

[hard ivy]

and blueprints

[fathom shuttle]

Damn so I’ll need to build 3 containers lol

[reef basin]

or copper alloy

[sullen gull]

That one as well. Saves all the plumbing lol

[hard ivy]

depends how much you're making

if a lot, alloy will need a lot more ores to be transported

[sullen gull]

I always just went with pure... 3K from 1200 ore = ❤️ 🙂

[reef basin]

but it's dealing with solids, rather than with fluids 🙂

[rapid wren]

i know but i only want 780 on the one belt

[hard ivy]

you can build the pure refinery over water and it's no problem

[rapid wren]

so pure won't do anything atm.

i always refine on the miner locatiuon too

[hard ivy]

you can't build the alloy foundries over 10 nodes

[sullen gull]

I mean, you can clock accordingly

[reef basin]

you're still dealing with fluids

I didn't say it's a problem

[rapid wren]

i can sloop

[sullen gull]

Erm... or .. that .. lol

[rapid wren]

i will sloop to double the copper powder

clocking would do nothing

[hard ivy]

then why even bring it up...?

[rapid wren]

i only have 780 copper to work with, the full mk5

[sullen gull]

Because it is an alterantive lol.

What do you mean by can't build the foundries over 10 nodes?

[reef basin]

because it's an option and some people like to not deal with fluids?

[sullen gull]

@hard ivy

[hard ivy]

where will you find 5 copper 5 iron nodes if you need that many for alloy?

[rapid wren]

particle accelerator is just comically large

[hard ivy]

but you can find 3-4 copper node in one place

[sullen gull]

Erm, I am using .. oknm, only 3/3 in the swamp lol

[hard ivy]

and enough water to purify it all

[hard ivy]

^

[fathom shuttle]

How much power does it use?

[rapid wren]

500-1500mw i think

[fathom shuttle]

Sheesh

[rapid wren]

unstable

[fathom shuttle]

1 OC and amplified manufacturer takes 1/3 of my grid lol

[tall lantern]

then you overclock and sloop it

moar powah

[sullen gull]

Lol, try putting in shards and slooped 🤣

[spiral dew]

any tips for building vertical/specialized buildings? first attempt at really building something multiple story #screenshots message

[hard ivy]

the max consumption of a single machine is lik 27 GW

[sharp sentinel]

Hm. I only have 133 hours, so it's okay if I still start in a beginner location right?

[hexed phoenix]

Battery packs can be somewhat recommended - if you need to sloop&oc a Particle Accelerator for a brief period :D

[spiral dew]

anywhere that sounds fun is perfectly good

[sharp sentinel]

I wish I remembered where my last save was because it was either Northern Forest or Rocky Desert because I know at some point it had reached both...

[spiral dew]

doing dune desert for my first 1.1 playthrough rn

[sullen gull]

Plan accordingly. Typically logistics on first floor, and then maybe each process as you go up. Or some may do top down, to have finished parts at the bottom. Totally up to you. Keep like production lines together, leave at least a foundation width between if want walkways (or 4m width if using catwalks)

Utilize at least 4m "sub floors" for belt routing... (Fits a merger/splitter real nice like)

[sharp sentinel]

I think I'll do Grassy Fields because I really need to work on teaching myself how to use trains, and it's great for it. I do want to try the desert sometime because it was so neat looking when I checked it out in my big save, but I just don't think I'm ready for the challenge of an area where I don't start with a lot of biomass.

[spiral dew]

so right now i'm just doing a merge left manifold for each floor, output goes to a conveyor to the left basically

#screenshots message but it gets messy

[sullen gull]

Cool cool. All of that is up to personal tastes. And, perhaps after one factory, you do a "center out" approach.. or really like the single sided approach and find ways to improve/do things different.

Some like to have one wall dedicated to material travel to and from the different floors. All sorts of different ways/layout/design concepts, etc

[spiral dew]

i'm loving the blueprints, last time i played was before that feature

[untold ember]

is there some wonky bugs with clipping things not placing together?

[sullen gull]

The great thing is you never really 'loose' anything with building except time. You can redo until your heart sings 🙂

[spiral dew]

making appropriate building sizes is a bit of a mystery to me as well 😛

[sullen gull]

Same friend, same .. 🤣

[spiral dew]

11x11 is easy enough though

[sullen gull]

I've been making a bunch of variations of these styles today: #screenshots message

[spiral dew]

oh sweet, so you actually just do belt i/o completely underneath

[sullen gull]

The cleaner I make make it, the more my ❤️ is at rest 🤣

And just started using signs to remind myself which input is what lol.

[spiral dew]

decided to name my first factory building the Parking Lot

[fathom shuttle]

Grass fields is great tbh

I have at least like 2400/min oil within 2000m, and lots of ore near the oil nodes

Mega factory heaven basically

[sharp sentinel]

Last time I did Grass Fields it started me by the giant chasm, and it made the save for a bit feel very contained. This time I started by that one valley, and I think I'll start out inside it. A very nice, clear space.

[rapid wren]

listening to the particle accelerator feels a litle underwhelming, i want more bass

it sounds like a microwave

[sharp sentinel]

When I hold left control nothing happens. Is world grid disabled or something?

[rapid wren]

check key binds

world grid is disabled when hovering over placed foundations

[sharp sentinel]

In build mode it still says it is left control.

I'm placing like my HUB and stuff. Odd.

[rapid wren]

only foundations snap to world grid

snap mode for other things is snapping to connection points or snapping to allign structures

@sharp sentinel

i have been ''using'' 24 heat sinks per min for hours, but somehow my 22.5 per min has been backing up

Is there a way in AGS to make an infinite power source or something like that ?

Without enabling “no power” setting

[sullen gull]

"No Power" option

Oh. Not afaik lol

[sage scroll]

That is kind of a bummer honestly

[sullen gull]

Out of curiosity, If you already have AGS enabled, what is "No Power' doing/not doing that you are seeking?

[ember marten]

Why holes

[spiral dew]

didnt know what i was missing

[oak night]

Hi guys. I started the game about a week ago now and I'm wanting to know how to get over an addiction to this game thanks

[lime ermine]

Wait until you see wall holes

[ember marten]

just pass it thru the floor 👍

[spiral dew]

illegal

[lime ermine]

Get addicted to no man's sky instead

[oak night]

Can't, I've already done everything in NMS

[lime ermine]

Or something else

[fathom shuttle]

I already automated them, but this will take all of my built up motor reserves lol, I was planning to fill it up before I use any of it but oh well. Also I included the 32 refineries I need into that number sorry

[sullen gull]

When you find the method, let me know kthx 👍 😏

Na

[azure cape]

how do you guys set up factories for the basic stuff like iron plates, rods, wire etc

because i just had constuctors everywhere but i want to make it more neat

[oak night]

I have a satellite factory making plates and rods which get shipped back to main with trains

[fathom shuttle]

Double stacked smelters and constructors, you put two or more ontop of each other. Really neat way to make your builds more compact

You will need to use lifts

[sullen gull]

Take a look through #screenshots and #design-and-architecture. Easy to get a few ideas quickly. So many different concepts/ideas. Some commonalities, etc.

[azure cape]

yeah i have a few factories elsewhere making more complex items but im at a loss for how to make one factory for multiple different items

[polar leaf]

there is no way this is easier than making 300GW from rocket fuel 😭 #screenshots message
