[red linden]

well I built all the manufacturing for solid biofuel, might as well store it

[dense violet]

turn it to liquid biofuel.

it is, arguably, significantly better than packaged fuel for the jet pack

[cursive crane]

Cobalt going around just repeating what I said every time i say it

[red linden]

Don't have liquid fuel yet

[dense violet]

you'll get there 🙂

[red linden]

IS there a way to prohibit how many items get into storage crate?

[formal prawn]

Speaking of, can you ever automate biofuel

[red linden]

Or will it keep filling until it's full

[formal prawn]

Programmable splitter maybe

[dense violet]

not fully, you need to put in the initial biomatter

[dense violet]

well you can either prioritise the line to go elsewhere and only fill storage if it's not being used?

but if there's a sink on the other end that won't happen

[formal prawn]

Is there a easier way than handpicking it or chainsawing and then never grow back

[dense violet]

as you're killing critters? if you sloop every step of the biofuel process you'll wind up with more bio fuel than you'll ever use in your pack

[formal prawn]

Oh right protein biofuel

[dense violet]

it's one of hte less silly uses of sloops imo - since it's a manual grind

[formal prawn]

Fair

[red linden]

Ah well, I'm leaving the base afk for a while anyway, just to get enough resources to rebuild it properly

[dense violet]

could always just go exploring to get more hard drives and slugs 🙂

you'd be surprised how quick storage fills up while you do that

[red linden]

Well I have stuff to do outside so might as well keep it running right

[formal prawn]

I needed some biofuel quick to make up for my overdrawing from the grid shiny new rotor/reinforced iron plate farm and used biofuel to make up for my lackluster amount of coal - it workex

I had so much alien protein from those stupid ah hatchers

[red linden]

Have containers set up for wires, cables, plates, hardened plates, screws, rods, mostly everything I need to set tier 0 base

[dense violet]

find a group of 3-4 coal nodes next to water - max out the coal burning. You'll need it

[formal prawn]

I did

I found them but noticed I was able to split the coal and water to power 2 generator

Yum pollution

[dense violet]

how many generators yo ugot going?

[formal prawn]

So now 3 coal generators + 1 for steel which I haven’t bought yet turned into about 5 coal gens

[dense violet]

yeah that's not using 4 coal nodes. You should be easily able to output enough coal with 1x mk2 belt from each node

for 32 gens

and when you get mk3 belts, double it

[formal prawn]

Should I do more or do I risk not being able to keep up with water/coal demands

[dense violet]

I mean design it so you do keep up.
clock the miners to output 120 each ( assuming your fastest belt is a mk2)

32 😳 🤯

Ok will do, I’ll get fired from FICSIT for not exploiting enough at this rate

[dense violet]

each new machine you get uses double or more power than the previous machine. It goes fast

iirc constructs 4mw, assemb, 8mw, refs 20, manus... 50+?

[formal prawn]

Good thing I built a copper sheet system

On an impure node ;-; don’t roast me it was the closest one

[dense violet]

yeah a lot of people do that in the grassy fields. the spot to the north north west with 4 nodes is what you want

and this is a good way to stack them #1368525377630244954 message

[formal prawn]

Nah I’m in rocky place

Either northen forest or other place

I’m not new as such, just didn’t play for a while and didn’t get very far in bad ol’ grassy fields

I swear grass is worse than every other map

[dense violet]

nah, it gives you lots of space to spread out. great to learn

[formal prawn]

Fair. Anyways im in rocky place, closest 4 nodes is like 1k M away, became so much easier when I cheated silica with awesome shop to get blade runners

Impure nodes are completely fine

is there a new way of doing it because I can't seem to recreate how I did it before 1.1 update

[boreal musk]

its always the same, its just with new hypertube branches you dont need to put multiple of them anymore

since you can just do the loop easier with branches

hi any experts here? i got a question its a pretty stupid one probably

[reef basin]

ask the question first

if it needs images/screenshots, better to ask in #1038092680493801533

also https://dontasktoask.com/

[dire niche]

so i got 4 coal generators running and i linked them all 4 to my powerpoles however when I inspect the powerpole it says capacity 300mw. is that the max capacity a powerpole can hold?

[dense violet]

4x 75mw is 300mw, sounds like what 4 gens make

poles don't have a max

[dire niche]

but when i open one coal generator it says "capacity 255 mw" and i got 4 of them

[reef basin]

I don't think that's what coal gen can say? post an image of it in #1038092680493801533

[dire niche]

ok i post there

i posted

[weak oasis]

I've played over 400 hours and have already reached the max tier. Now, I'm aiming to build a megafactory.
Could anyone share their experience on how to approach this? For example:

• How do you choose the right location for your factory?
• Is it better to transport all ores to one central factory before smelting and starting basic production?
• When is it more effective to use drones, trucks, or trains?
• How do you organize and divide production zones efficiently?
  Thanks a lot for your help!

[reef basin]

first suggestion would be: don't do megafactory, it's hard and requires insane amount of planning.

if you still want to do it, just for the challenge of it, here are some of my tips:

• plan EVERYTHING ahead. The whole run. From start to finish. All the production lines
• stick to the plan
• leave enough space everywhere, according to your plan
• split into small manageable chunks

[dense violet]

also plan every section ahead of time.
break down every production line, probably from the end point backwards

like down to what belts go where with what part pm on there

consider using sushi belts to minimise logistics

[pastel carbon]

You're tempting me to try building a megafactory next time I play lol

[weak oasis]

Oh okay, thank you! I want to build a megafactory like ImKibitz, but I know it’s really challenging, so I’d like to get some advice from everyone.

[heavy mist]

Megas are fun but i like to do a mega once i max the tiers

[dense violet]

once you've unlocked everything and build something from scratch it's not hard if you plan for it. especially if the end ppm is low

if you're doing quite a large end ppm though definitely make larger hubs

[pastel carbon]

Yeah, but that's different from a megafactory that you build from the start and work through the progression

[dense violet]

for example it's not hard to make quite a lot of super computer pm on a location and then just drone it over

[dense violet]

well yes, that's called 'a mess'.

[pastel carbon]

Messes can be very fun

[dense violet]

but not a challenge

[pastel carbon]

I have quite a bit of fun making spaghetti in factorio, for instance

[pastel carbon]

Well, I guess it depends on how you see challenges

Either way, I don't know if I'll ever actually do it, but it's on the list I suppose

[dense violet]

like this is the bottom floor of my 'make everything starter factory' #math-and-meta message

it's easy. not efficient, but easy, and every floor up is a new machine type that just feeds upwards

[pastel carbon]

I just prefer a decentralised style

[weak oasis]

Uhhh… you guys know ImKibitz, right?

[dense violet]

basically zero planning

[dense violet]

eh yeah, his piping leaves things to be desired

[pastel carbon]

Anything becomes easy with experience

The first time I did oil processing, I was really confused, for instance

[dense violet]

that images takes basically no effort. You don't even calculate the processes . Just link everything up. But it makes everything

[reef basin]

generally streamers build it for content, not for practicality 🙂

[pastel carbon]

Coming up with that idea, having the experience to know what to do, and planning ahead is the part that comes with playing this game a fair bit

[weak oasis]

Oh, but I can still learn from the way he builds his megafactories, right?

[pastel carbon]

Even completing this game is already a fair challenge the first time round

[dense violet]

eh to a small degree. But nowhere near making an efficient megafactory.

[reef basin]

I wouldn't suggest so

they are in the end entertainers, not teachers

[pastel carbon]

Well yeah, we aren't comparing difficulties here

I just think it's something interesting and new to try

[dense violet]

ehhhh... he's a good entertainer.
other than that it's fairly basic, jsut large.

I'm also suspect that his fluids aren't stable

[reef basin]

(and you'd be surprised how little streamers actually know about the game(s) they play)

[pastel carbon]

I think the most fun way to play is to try and figure things out on your own

[dense violet]

there's better people for technical ideas

and much better people for architecture and design

[pastel carbon]

Especially the first time around

If you want to get more inspiration and stuff when you reach the end, that's great, but a lot of the fun of factory games like satisfactory is solving the problems the game poses to you on your own

[reef basin]

hell, streamers don't even use many terms correctly, see "bus" and "megabase"

[dense violet]

Just play around.

if you like sand box games you can treat all the tiers as a really good tutorial that preps you for your own goals and projects afterwards

[weak oasis]

Yeah, right, but I want to build a megafactory because I want something that will make my friends go wow… so I really want to give it a try Or simply, I just want to explore something new because honestly, I don’t really know what to do once I reach the max tier.

[reef basin]

large separated factories have similar/same wow effect and are much easier to build

[pastel carbon]

Even decentralised factories get pretty large

[heavy mist]

hit the entity limit

[pastel carbon]

My rocky desert is far from a single centralised factory and it's got a fair number of buildings

[weak oasis]

I think before I reach the entity limit, my computer will hit its own limit first...

[heavy mist]

worth it

[dense violet]

Make a final plan with Satisfactory tools

Break it down into hubs that exchange items

[weak oasis]

[arctic anvil]

Hey, a quick question, is it possible to turn off the new chainsaw animation, the falling tree is ok, but the camera shaking is giving me a headache. Right now I have put the "Camera shake intensity" to 0.5, but that makes the nobelisk a bit tame !!

[green fiber]

I dont think theres a seperate setting for that atm

[prisma hazel]

is there a list for ideal alternate recipe combos anywhere? akin to the alternate recipe ranking list

[reef basin]

no, because ranking of recipes is subjective and every player sees them differently, based on their own preferences (and you should too)

basically every recipe is viable if it helps your case and your preferences

[prisma hazel]

is it possible to obtain every alt? In that case i wouldnt worry so much

[reef basin]

yes

(that being said, there are some ranking lists on the internet, but they are hardly useful, given that practically no alt recipe ranking agrees with another)

[prisma hazel]

I personally like recipes that make things easier/simpler rather than whether its the most resource or power efficient recipe, so i can see how rankings are not ideal

[reef basin]

yeah, this is exactly the reason - you have your preferences what you like in a factory, so your ranking will vary from other people who prefer different things 😉

[prisma hazel]

spent yesterday getting half of the avaliable drives, anything to put off starting alu production lol

[rapid wren]

there is virtually an infinite amount of combos, but i personally like screw and caterium recipes, i make screws through steel beams. most people hate screws

[prisma hazel]

yeah thats a great recipe and I have had that for a while and it really helps with the complex recipes

[reef basin]

(many people hate screws because they were bad back in U2 and have been changed since, but they keep repeating over and over without actually knowing why, and nowdays it's more like )

[prisma hazel]

I wouldnt be a screw hater if mk5 belts were avaliable slightly earlier than they are

[frozen ingot]

i hate screws

laptop screws. Too bloody many of them most of the time

[reef basin]

that's one of the main "reasons" people hate screws - "they don't fit on a belt"

well... have you tried not merging them all into one belt? 🙂 screws work great if you build them in front of machines that need them, connect them 1:1 (or 1:2 or 2:1, etc.)

[hard ivy]

It's hard to even measure recipe performance (resource, machine and power cost) because it all depends on the other recipes you use

[frozen ingot]

^ best piece of advice about this game you ever game me greeny, lol

i'd just discovered manifolds and so was manifolding everything, and you pointed out that it's often easier to 'directly inject' screws into the machine that needs them

[reef basin]

practically the only possible comparison that can be made is "bolted plate vs reinforced plate", because they use same resources

anything other comes with assumptions that are by their nature subjective

[hard ivy]

I'd do this if screws were even worth using

[lost wagon]

Manifold with smart splitter?

[reef basin]

well as you just said, "worth" is subjective to the individual 🙂

[dense violet]

And to do that different recipes can combo with other recipes depending on what you want to make 🙂

hence why lists arent very good

[hard ivy]

But the only screw using recipe that isn't utter dogshit is copper rotor

[frozen ingot]

😆

[dense violet]

Build the screws right before each machine and directly feed . Steel screws help a lot with that

[reef basin]

that's your opinion 🙂

[hard ivy]

Well, I still haven't found any redeeming qualities of Bolted Plate

[lost wagon]

Yesterday I did a journey in a new game before buildng the elevator and got 7 drives, it kinda feels like cheating skipping the early recipes like going for iron wire instead of using copper lmao

[frozen ingot]

it's bolted

[reef basin]

(and just to be clear - I'm not attacking your opinion, it's as valid as anyone else's. I'm just saying that other people see it differently because they have different preferences)

[frozen ingot]

it's an aesthetic 😆

[prisma hazel]

not using a manifold? heresy!

[reef basin]

fits nicely in a blueprint 🙂

[frozen ingot]

👀

[reef basin]

actually, I'd heavily recommend getting alts you want as soon as possible, rather than after you built the factory that could use it 😉

[dense violet]

bolted plate was part of a very compact group of machines that spat out 10.6 frames pm with only 36ppm fed into it

[lost wagon]

Surprised this future doesn't have solar panels or grappling hook (without mods)

[reef basin]

devs don't want solar power due to practically being impossible to balance (and not being "just spam solar panels for infinite free energy")

[lost wagon]

Yea, I got some of them now and didn't scan yet because I need to find a list with the recipes and what tier you unlock them so I can use the drives when I am at those tiers without diluting the pool

[lost wagon]

Solar flare 😄

Go full rimworld weather disasters

[prisma hazel]

i saw a screenshot of a mod with solar panels, that aesthetic could greatly improve my concrete cube factories lol

[hard ivy]

This isn't a survival game

[lost wagon]

You're not surviving anything if you get no sun for days

You just don't have solar power

[hard ivy]

Actually, you could make solar balanced

Just make it realistic

[prisma hazel]

speaking of no sun for days, since moving from experimental to main, the day night cycle has stopped and its permanently day time

[red linden]

so make it awful lol

[hard ivy]

~1kW of solar irradiation per m^2. 25% efficiency

And you need to cover ~50 foundations to get a MW

[lost wagon]

Solar should be early stuff, less power than biofuel maybe so it makes the fact that you have to get leaves and wood worth, and obviously only works during daytime

[lost wagon]

So make it awful

[somber quartz]

does anyone know how to make it so when u open ur map u can see all the ressources that u claim

so i dont have to scan it everytime

[lost wagon]

You could put markers yourself if the game doesn't

[somber quartz]

ive seen on some vids/streams that they have it on the map always

[somber quartz]

so i have to do them all manually

[rapid wren]

it would not make sense to have it early, because solar panels use all kinds of metals. but it would also be potentially infinite energy.

[lost wagon]

Like coal

[rapid wren]

maybe solar panel compoinents could be a rare find in crash sites or something, so only 5 exist on the map

[ivory condor]

Devs implement solar, make it so bad nobody will use it anyways😇

[somber quartz]

so i gotta do them all by themselves

[ivory condor]

That actually would be pretty funny

[lost wagon]

People will still use it early before getting coal just to not have to go around getting leaves

[ivory condor]

CSS be like here is your suggested solar power, enjoy

[lost wagon]

DSP you can fill a planet with solar, sure, that's what people do early game, then you unlock the lil guy that one of them makes the same amount of power as the solar planet

Or if you're in the lava planet you can do geothermal

[rapid wren]

hydropower would be much cooler then solar, placing it at some of the smaller and larger waterfalls

[lost wagon]

Most likely, don't know if the game auto create without mods

[ivory condor]

Yeah it could be interesting to change the early game a little, but make it so bad that it wouldn't make any sense to use past that

[rapid wren]

hydropower would be the exact same balance as hydrothermal, no problemo

[lost wagon]

Isn't there a mod that adds all that and wind?

[ivory condor]

There is its refined power, but wind is OP with that mod last i tested it, even makes coal power useless

[prime crane]

is there any way to remove those things from the hoverpack that are in your hands?

[lost wagon]

I think I saw it when I was looking for grappling hook

clock based on amount I need?

[last jungle]

no like

[rapid wren]

overclock heaps, it's so overpowered. but if i stop needing so much of something i will turn machines off or underclock.

[last jungle]

this is like "overwhelmed, underwhelmed and just whelmed"

i wanted to make that joke but yes overclock op

[rapid wren]

overclocking is just 99% positive. the 1% more power requirement is so minute.

[autumn talon]

i always underclock when my production line sucks. so i can get that juicy 100% efficency for free

[rapid wren]

i feel like overclocking was more ''fair'' when it actually had a big power impact.

[last jungle]

yea fr

[rapid wren]

like 250% would mean it conumed some 500% power or something.

[ocean whale]

the last version before smart splitters came had only 0,1% material loss :>

now they are all gone 😦 who entertains me now while my hard drives scan

[steady mesa]

Greetings. New here and new to Satisfactory as I have an Xbox so could never play it and try it out but now I hear whispers of a console version launching sometime this year? Is there a channel on here to follow that progress?

[boreal musk]

use no time research mod

[glossy cloud]

im not reading it wrong, fuel powered generators consume 20m of fuel per minute? so to get rid of 100m of fuel id need 5

[boreal musk]

whenever they have news to share, you can always check #announcements
and yes, console should be releasing around this year

[dense violet]

sounds about right

[glossy cloud]

damn thats good

[spring basin]

is satisfactory releasing on playstation too or just xbox

[autumn talon]

you can get even more power out of it if you refine your fuel more, there a 3 more stages of refinement in sulfur tree in the mam

[steady mesa]

Seems like PS as well yes

[spring basin]

Good lord I am excited. I've always wanted to play Satisfactory but never had a PC, just Xbox. Up until now i've been playing Techtonica on Xbox which is fantastic but Satisfactory looks next level amazing

[rapid wren]

not even a workstation or laptop?

[steady mesa]

I've got a i3 laptop with 8GB ram, SSD and intel integrated GPU which will blow up once I launch the game😂

[spring basin]

ive had a pc for so long i forget some people just run a console and thats it

[rapid wren]

i played lots of games on intel integrated, but that got a lot better when i swapped to AMD integrated, then a lot better still when i got a 6600xt 😄

sold my 980ti just before the GPU crisis hit, so i did not buy a gpu for years.

[steady mesa]

Yeah but I know it wont run Satisfactory, sadly

Well it will probably run but at like 0.000001 FPS😂

It will run at 2 FPD

[rapid wren]

on intel my PC got only some 15 fps i think. then maybe 45 on amd

and my screen is 60hz, so i never cared about getting more then that 😄

[steady mesa]

Yeah sounds good. I aint playing a masterpiece like this on shitty graphics. That should be considered a crime and it will run at like 2 FPD😂

[dense violet]

the whole reason I upgraded my computer. It could run everything beautifully except satisfactory

[rapid wren]

AMD integrated graphics are getting really good, i might go for an APU in a few years

[obsidian zodiac]

please do not milk the lizard doggos

[dense violet]

I don't think an intergrated gpu is ever really going to be a real choice for this game

[obsidian zodiac]

im not letting that one go

[dense violet]

sadly I cannot find fan art of soemoen milking a doggo

[hard ivy]

Modern IGPUs should be able to handle it I think

at low settings, but still

mechanical milker for tier 10 confirmed it's made with a quantum oscillator

[boreal musk]

dont give them artist ideas

[leaden turret]

read as CobaltOfDeNiro / meet the fockers nipple scene

[dense violet]

I will need to watch the movie xD

[dense violet]

I will give the artists all of the ideas

[leaden turret]

one moment while I delve into gimp

[prisma hazel]

how do you guys manage power connections in factories? i always find it the least aesthetic part of mine

[woven maple]

van itt magyar?

[boreal musk]

power towers? railway also carries power if you arent aware

if its in the factory itself, i always use the power wall outlet attached to pillars or beams

and the new addition of elevator bringing power to each floors neatly

[rapid wren]

why have all monitor producers decided to use these old horrendous external power supplies

[dense violet]

gimp doggo!

[rapid wren]

transformers for power supply.

[dense violet]

1 power point per machine usually.

maybe from a beam above the machine, or below it clipped through foundation

[hard ivy]

Just a web of poles placed between machines

[shy mulch]

depends what order you do stuff, doesn't have to be after oil, you can get radar tower very early if you gather the stuff for it

[peak wasp]

Is 1.1 fun? I'm holding off resuming my save until I quit my job. Gotta beat some other games first.

Like what's y'alls favorite new feature/addition?

[leaden turret]

tagged in #satisfactory-memes

[peak wasp]

I heard there was new build modes, vertical nudging, and elevators but that's all I know

[steady glade]

infinite nudge

[peak wasp]

It's infinite too????

[steady glade]

merging/splitting in the micdle of a lift

its crazy nice now

[peak wasp]

Oh bb

[shy mulch]

My fave new feature is hypertube junctions
Blueprint belt/pipe snapping is really nice too though
And vertical splitters will add interesting new factory layout possibilities but I haven't used them yet

[rapid wren]

yeah i think you need computers, wich i mentioned 🙂

[shy mulch]

Doggos can give computers, so you can get them at any phase

[peak wasp]

I love your name.

[timid rune]

mmm I now have learnt the art of mixing copper alloy and pure copper

[peak wasp]

My dogs got me through some milestones while I faffed about with architecture

[timid rune]

Pure Copper is overkill and useful lol

[rapid wren]

also crash sites

[peak wasp]

I'm using a LOT of steamed copper sheets in my current save. It's kinda fun.

[timid rune]

steamed copper is actually decent value yeah

[jolly flax]

Tried underclocking and I finally started making more reinforced plates

[timid rune]

since you are trading power usage for less copper use

(same as pure copper really)

[rapid wren]

i considdered changing it to Pontoons, as i really want that now.

[jolly flax]

I hate rotors

They are a pain to make when you got biomass power

[shy mulch]

Why? Rotors aren't complicated

[rapid wren]

get cast screw

[jolly flax]

Already have

[timid rune]

go unlock coal power 😄

[hard ivy]

just rush steel rotor

[shy mulch]

If you are very early phase and need to save power, underclock your machines, they will be slower but use a lot less power

[peak wasp]

I would like a passenger car for trains, with doors that open at stations when docked.

[rapid wren]

any item that only needs 1 resource is super easy

[shy mulch]

Or just make more biomass

[jolly flax]

Thats what Im doing man, but I need 160 reinforced iron plate to make 8 gens

I found a pure coal node

[shy mulch]

Never burn normal biomass etc., always turn leaves/wood/mycelia/dna into biomass, then turn that biomass into solid biomass, then burn that in biomass burners. Makes the stuff you collect last a lot longer

[timid rune]

still another 1.6k copper ore needed

hmm

[jolly flax]

Ye I semi automated it into making biomass and then into solid biofuel

[timid rune]

is 60 superposition oscillator/min overkill in endgame?

[jolly flax]

But its a pain I wanna get rid of biomass power

Give me coal power, no more cave man

[shy mulch]

60 per minute? That's more than you'd need, but if you want to go overboard, go for it

[shy mulch]

Or geothermal is nice early game

[timid rune]

yeah I am way beyond phase 5

I am just stuffing around really

[shy mulch]

Yeah it's fun 🙂

[jolly flax]

Im early phase 2

I need to make a detonator first

[shy mulch]

Go unlock geothermal in MAM if you haven't already. That will sort you out for a while

[jolly flax]

I did find a pure caterium node

[jolly flax]

Oh nice

[cyan garnet]

And now your Google search results are forever tainted

[cyan garnet]

Elevators for transferring power between floors

[dense violet]

as if they weren't before?

[cyan garnet]

Fair

[peak wasp]

I got most of phase 3 done with biomass burners. My factories just sunk into the depot and ran idle 90% of the time. Not sure why I did it that way, but it was fun.

[jolly flax]

Its a pain for me

[jolly flax]

Its 900 caterium ores enough?

[shy mulch]

I can't remember how much stuff they need to unlock and build, but don't think about it in terms of total number of whatever, think per minute, just automate everything

Stick a miner on the caterium node and feed that into machines that make what you need

[jolly flax]

Yeah the problem is i dont have the big kaboom

To put a miner on it

[shy mulch]

Use a different node

Which biome are you in

[jolly flax]

But its a pure node and the only one close to the base

[jolly flax]

Grass fields

[reef basin]

Build near nodes, doesn't need to be next to base

[shy mulch]

Go as far west as you can until you reach the water, then head north a little bit, there's a caterium node on one of the big rocks beside the waterfall

[jolly flax]

Do you know perhaps its coordinates?

[shy mulch]

-131 , 227

just head east until you find water, then go north to waterfall, and you'll find it

actually I forgot there's no water at that bit until you reach the waterfall

so just go west until big cliff and follow the cliff round until the waterfall, and it'll be there 🙂

if you really want to spoil the exploration for yourself, use satisfactory-calculator

it will show you where everything is

[jolly flax]

K

[boreal musk]

find some caterium deposits, research them in MAM to unlock the scanner

[rapid wren]

mine all the stuff you find so you can scan for it

[arctic cedar]

Does someone know the diameter of the mark one and two pipes?

[rapid wren]

the first things i like to MAM research is caterium and SAM

[desert kindle]

satisfactory players making 100 crystal bingzoids and 500 plutonium marshmallows a minute so they can automate 2 galactic defibrilators for project zeep zorp

[rapid wren]

accurate

some preffer calling it zingboids

[shy mulch]

Sounds like a perfect excuse to spend 40 hours making a tiny factory look really pretty

[brazen trout]

Do you guys know if there’s going to be a dev stream today or was I the week mikeal was going to Japan

[void gorge]

There's a stream

I'm going in September

[hallow flicker]

That is a long time from now.

[peak wasp]

We love you

[void gorge]

<33

[vernal linden]

i wish i had more brain power

[rapid wren]

i like you a moderate amount

could say an appropriate amount

SFW if you will

[void gorge]

That sounds appropriate

I will

[sharp sentinel]

This is the first save I've ever adopted a lizard doggo on, and now I have 5....

[leaden turret]

so that's confirmed for no 1.2 update in september then 😛

[cobalt lodge]

Maybe he’ll go once 1.2 is out, there’s still hope!

[void gorge]

Tbf I did sod off to raid 10h/day when 1.1 EXP hit

[leaden turret]

more thinking you wouldn't leave jason to tackle an update launch stream solo? 😛

[void gorge]

Bro is a pro already

[sharp sentinel]

1.2: Elevators now have the possibility to just shoot into space with you in it. This is all we've added. Thank you, goodbye.

[void gorge]

I'm barely needed in here

[leaden turret]

you could also maybe join live from a noodle shack in japan

[cobalt lodge]

Dude, building in space would be huge!

[final flume]

Hey. Does anyone know anything about the PS5 version yet? Because it's listed, but it only says 2025. I'm so excited. Unfortunately, I don't have the desire to play on PC right now, and I'm eagerly awaiting the PS5 version so I can finally play it on the balcony with the PS Portal 🙂

[ripe basin]

Good day my guys

[leaden turret]

• can crossplay with other ps5 players and xbox players only

[final flume]

I can't connect my PS5 game to a PC server that I've had running for years?!

[leaden turret]

they haven't explicitly clarified about dedicated servers, but 🤷‍♂️

[final flume]

Oh, sorry. So: I have a PC server running online. I want to play with it later on the PS5. And if my son, who plays on PC, wants to, we can play together too. Is that not possible? Is there only console crossplay?

[leaden turret]

I posted on the dev stream qna list asking for clarification regarding dedicated servers and console players

[dapper forge]

does dimensional depo refund mercer sphere if you dismantle it? What does dismantling depot do? is the depo dimension left there with the items still within it even if no depot exists?

[dense violet]

highlight dismantle over it and see

and items stay in depot

[dapper forge]

Haha, I was afraid of even placing one

[dapper forge]

thanks

[wooden minnow]

I just got this game a week ago, and got coal power 2 days ago. I fully understand your pain 🫂 It's a temporary phase don't worry. Coal node logistics are interestinng to implement too, and then you will have fully automated power source. Life is nicer

[jolly flax]

Finally got the gens and water extracter put in their place

Time to put the pipes

[jolly flax]

I feel you

I kept procrastinating

[final flume]

Okay, thanks. If there's no PC crossplay, I'll consider buying the console. That was the only reason I bought it, so I wouldn't have to start over after spending so much time playing and building. Thanks for the answers, though. But it's not clear when the PS5 version will be released yet, is it?

[leaden turret]

no release date announced as yet

[hard ivy]

Well, other than "sometime this year probably"

[wooden minnow]

I saw this tip on youtube, but I will put it in spoilers in case you want to figure out stuff through trial and error:
||Bring the coal to the water, instead of the other way around, its more convenient that way given the things like water pressure and all||

[leaden turret]

you can tinker with the pc release via native controller support and see how it feels tho

[dense violet]

there's plenty of spheres, there's basically zero things you can do in the game you can't take back.

except spending items to unlock tech

[final flume]

Yes, I'm talking about playing on my PlayStation Portal, not on the PC. But thanks.

[jolly flax]

Ye thats what I did

And now I gotta do wiring

My worst enemy

[wooden minnow]

Ahaha

[jolly flax]

Since the coal is like 800 away from my hub

[wooden minnow]

One good thing about wiring is that they can go really long distances

[leaden turret]

point being to train the muscle memory, you could plug a playstation controller into PC and be ready to go for the ps5 release

[jolly flax]

Theres no problem is the pipes are cliping right?

[leaden turret]

@void gorge : I don't have children
me: you don't think of chat as your children?
Mikael: Oh god no.

[wooden minnow]

I have a new player tip for you from my experience, but once again marking it as a spoiler in case you wish to discover what's available on your own:
||Get the zipline if you haven't already. You can unlock it fairly easily through the MAM with some caterium. Zipline allows you to travel across the power lines and with some basic movement techniques you can get lots of momentum to speedily travel to and from the coal nodes. That's what I did. It's hella fun too||

[brazen trout]

oooooh in my mind i thought you were going after the 1.1 launch stream

[jolly flax]

Hmmmm thats a great idea

[wooden minnow]

Its such a time saver

[jolly flax]

Ye

[wooden minnow]

But more importantly, its FUN

[jolly flax]

True but I assume its better when you get the big brothers of the power lines

[wooden minnow]

Might be, I don't think I have unlocked those yet

[jolly flax]

Its in the caterium tree

[wooden minnow]

Ohh

Thanks

[jade scaffold]

hey its been awhile since I have played and I'm trying to use the Satisfactorytools production calculator. having issues remembering how to get the graph, I thought it should just show up when you have something in the production tab.

[dapper forge]

the big powerlines are not in the MAM, it's part of a tier unlock

[jade scaffold]

nvm it was having a hissy fit over me wanten to calculate a max volume

[jolly flax]

My bad

I got confused

[dapper forge]

It's cool, the caterium tree has power pole upgrades

[jade scaffold]

wtf? in loaded the page like 6 times it wasnt working right, ask for help, and now its working fine, Murphy and his laws

[south sinew]

is it worth building like a personal road for driving around?

or just wait for hypertubes and stick with hypercannons for getting from A to B

[reef basin]

not much, just use natural roads

[south sinew]

hmm, I kinda found the vehicle handling is a bit too bad for just driving around on the terrain, if I don't make a road, may as well just run with blade runners

[reef basin]

they handle fine, especially explorer

[dapper forge]

which biome are you on?

[jolly flax]

Unlocked the zipline and crafted it

Time to get powerline mk2

[south sinew]

grassy fielfd

[dapper forge]

The deserts are perfect for driving on natural roads

I do low profile roads(not raised) on deserts sometimes to bridge

[south sinew]

hmm, I just unlocked the Explorer to give it another go but I don't have motors yet kek

[wise ice]

Planning on picking Satisfactory back up soon, and I was wondering... how does the controller support fair?

I know keyboard is always superior, but i do enjoy lounging in a bean bag and sitting back infront of a big TV.

[cursive crane]

Might be better to wait till console update drops to have the full controller experience, from what they have said in the past the UI will also be getting a rework for that, not sure if any of thats been done yet, or if itll apply to PC or only console

[wise ice]

Ah okay, I started the game up for a few minutes and it seemed like a few things were missing, but I wasn't sure if that's just because I need to unlock everything

[cursive crane]

hmm.. just tried changing my settings from K+M to controller, and now im stuck in the menu with no way to control anything

[edit for this, fixed by changing my steam default controller layout, wasn't using the official.]

it seemed alright before that point

but when I switched that it did appear to change some of the menu so maybe some of that UI stuff has been changed

[wise ice]

Yea, it's kinda weird that you can't use both at once

I noticed when I enabled controller, I couldn't mouse click anything

[final flume]

Yes, it's not about training 🙂 It's about the fact that I don't want to play on the PC, but in the living room or on the balcony 🙂 with the PS Portal.

[wise ice]

I guess that answers my question actually.... It probably has kinks to iron out... And the fact that you can't simultaneously use the mouse and keyboard whilst also using the controller.... Means those kinks can't easily be avoided by just a tap of keyboard

My experience has been that most games alot both to function at the same time.

[cursive crane]

yep, wondering whether that'll change even with official console release, probably due to the UI changes they'll be doing it might not, time will tell Ig.

[wise ice]

Other games tend to swith the UI once the mouse is moved, or the controller is pressed

So it's not a setting to be manually changed

It's automatic based on the input device used

[cursive crane]

automatic if thats how they design it, which they prob wont... wow yea just got in using controller, menus are a bit different, some of it it actually kinda cool

can sample things into the toolbar, map and codex are together, and theres an actual page for notes

[sharp sentinel]

Just noticed the game isn't adding to the map as I ride in the Explorer.

[cursive crane]

some places on the map require you to be HIGH up, so it depends on where you are

especially if you are in a cave or below other terraign

[leaden turret]

@final flume confirmed on-stream, not going to be able to use dedicated servers

[proper olive]

is there a way to mitigate geothermal generator power fluctuation?

[leaden turret]

!wikisearch Power+Storage

[fossil ice]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/index.php?search=Power+Storage

[proper olive]

ty!

[pearl sphinx]

One of my friends decided to lock in super hard, and they went from one the worst players in my friend group to one of the best.
Frankly, it's great.

[sharp sentinel]

Yay! One of my lizard puppers brought me a slug.

[jolly flax]

Man I hate having to fuel 8 coal gens with mk1 belts

[hard ivy]

just use mk2?

[jolly flax]

Just unlocked mk2 belts and now have to do everything again

[jolly flax]

Yeah I realized it after I finished building the belts

Now im crying in a corner

[final flume]

Oh no 😦 Then the game is already over for me. Thank you.

[prisma forge]

Know what would be funny?
Sinking a sloop and getting a very angry message from ADA.
And then that sink starts producing double the amount of points.

[solemn vale]

I found a funny little secret with the trains

||There's a small chance for a cartoony-sounding two-chime steam whistle to play in place of the standard pneumatic horn that normally plays||

[cursive crane]

i just logged off homie, now ill have to try that tomorrow lmao

[hallow flicker]

Lizard Doggo nipples confirmed

[leaden turret]

not confirmed

[hallow flicker]

oh. I was mistaken

I guess the modders will have to make it happen.

[leaden turret]

all that is confirmed is that @obsidian zodiac doesn't:

• want to see anyone milk the lizard doggo
• want to see anyone make any lizard doggo nipple mods

reminder: lizard doggo milk is highly combustible

we just don't know where it comes from

[elder apex]

I ran that through a translator and it came out "New phase 1 fuel source coming to Satisfactory soon."

[red linden]

I'm just wondering what are the power cables made of in this game

One cable can carry seemingly all the power in the universe

[hallow flicker]

One cable, or one lizard doggo nipple

[green fiber]

Cable is made of Cable

[eternal delta]

#screenshots message Yep something is cursed

[zenith pecan]

Yeah, that's cursed alright 🥶 , you need an exorcist!

[zenith knot]

So for the controller/steam deck configuration: I noticed there isn’t a way for me to toggle the players flashlight? I can do headlights while in a vehicle but no flashlight on foot.

[shy mulch]

You don't need to do anything again. Just select mk2 belt then click on an existing mk1 belt and it will upgrade

[cyan garnet]

You can upgrade belts in-place

[zenith knot]

Apologies if this is a know issue already 😁

[shy mulch]

People who have number of hours played in their name, is that just done manually, or is there some link between discord and steam?

[zenith knot]

My guess is manual

[shy mulch]

Aint nobody got time fo da'

[zenith knot]

There is a mod for better discord integration, but as far as I know that just tells peeps what tier your currently playing in

[grizzled lotus]

is it, or are the warthog kings really aggressive after the update

[shy mulch]

Seems redundant if you have multiple saves

[zenith knot]

I honestly don’t know too much about it tbh I actually turn off most of that stuff for privacy reasons 😛

I don’t need my friends knowing how bad my sleep schedule is

[shy mulch]

Oh everyone knows I only sleep at work

That said, I finish work soon. Started drinking an hour ago.

[zenith knot]

But yeah having a total hours played would be a handy feature

For this discord I mean

[shy mulch]

Yeah

I think I do play too much

I have a bit of an addictive personality

Only started playing at 1.0 and see people who been playing since very early beta with less hours than me, embarassing for me I think lol

[hard ivy]

Or for them

[shy mulch]

depends on your outlook I suppose

[zenith knot]

I was thinking about that too. But with how much the ui and game play alters to accommodate controllers (like foliage auto pick up or how you just need to toggle some things that are hold downs for keyboard… I kind of understand? I do wish there was easy switching though and the ability to use keyboard input for controls that aren’t mapped to a gamepad.

[leaden ether]

Eeep, there seems to be a value bug in Satisfactory Tools with the creation of wet concrete? It's suggesting I use 6.25x refineries to make 500 concrete which would require the wet concrete recipe to output 80/m but it only outputs 60/m in reality... (Yeah nevermind, I hatd set them to underclock for unknown reasons a couple weeks ago)

[hard ivy]

It outputs 80 though?

[zenith knot]

I think I was playing this as soon as it was on steam lol

[hard ivy]

Also, m is a meter, minute is min

[wise ice]

I suppose i can't really make any fair criticisms since I haven't experienced the game with a controller for more than a few minutes. I'll have a play with it.

[zenith knot]

Maybe even before on epic I can’t recall. This and void train were epic exclusives back in the not too long days ago

[south sinew]

derped my solid steel ingots.. put iron ore in them instead of ingot lol

[finite hornet]

#screenshots message

[cyan garnet]

We’ve all been there

[south sinew]

then I put my 180 steel ingots/min on a 120/min belt, more genius

[leaden turret]

does the lizard doggo sculpture have nipples? it may annoy @obsidian zodiac if you add them 😛

[leaden turret]

also, no hydrant? 😛

[timber shoal]

Why do the charcoal and biocoal recipes exist? You literally cant automate them so they're both a waste of a hard drive

[finite hornet]

Nope x) is it about doggo milk ? !

[zenith knot]

It plays pretty well imo. On my deck these past few days and it was defiantly playable and fun. I liked the driving a lot more with a controller. I can totally see switching to that just for driving parts if I didn’t need to fiddle in the options each time I wanted to do that.

[leaden turret]

yes, lol

[timber shoal]

Are they meant to be jokes or red herrings or something?

[leaden turret]

(the earlier ping was about the lizard doggo peeing on a fire hydrant)

[reef basin]

some people use them for e.g. ammo production without coal nearby, since you only need limited amount of ammo

[leaden turret]

you can automate stuff but you can't necessarily automate the ingredients supply

[timber shoal]

What ammo needs coal?

[leaden turret]

gives you something to do with your stockpiles after you've progressed to coal power

[reef basin]

anything black-power based

[zenith knot]

Surely it will only get better with console release on its way, which even if you don’t like controllers is still a good thing because it also means more optimization for all platforms! (Plus devs get more money so we get more game?)

[hallow flicker]

Yes. Jason needs the milk to power his drones... but he just doesn't like the idea. Yet.

[timber shoal]

Black powder isn't expensive though, just branch off from a coal deposit and set up a small (or large) production area. Also you can just buy ammo in the shop

[zenith pecan]

Understandable, although I prefer to fully automate ammunition, it's one reason I never produced gas bombs.

[lavish sleet]

i use all my biomass for liquid biofuel for jetpack

[timber shoal]

Gas bombs are also completely useless lol

[hallow flicker]

Doggo milk jetpack fuel mod wen?

[hard ivy]

They neutralize hatchers (though so does sneaking tbh)

[leaden turret]

if planet farts on you, you can get your revenge by farting back

[timber shoal]

So does shooting them with the rifle (and faster)

[reef basin]

classic "the fact that you don't see the appeal of a recipe doesn't mean nobody does" 🙂

you're completely free to not use them, but some people are actively using them 😉

(as with all recipes - they are subjective to the individual's preferences and such)

[south sinew]

hmm

[timber shoal]

Me who never has to deal with those shitass pillars because I turn them off via mod: (Seriously devs make the gas mask available much earlier)

[shy mulch]

Has anyone used the DilutedDoggoMilk recipe? Are there any good alternatives?

[south sinew]

trying to decide if I want Steeled Frame or not

[leaden turret]

you can blow them up now

[hallow flicker]

I was going to... but I just couldn't find the drive.

[timber shoal]

is still a midgame item tho (also you gotta expose yourself to the gas to place them)

[hard ivy]

Just throw?

[south sinew]

no you don't

[leaden turret]

... you know you can throw them a fair distance, yes?

[shy mulch]

It really doesn't take long to get gas masks and nobelisks

[south sinew]

nobelisk is just steel and sulfur/coal, so you can get them in Tier 3 pretty easy, and you can throw them on to the pillars and plants and blow them to bits, which is my preferred method

[shy mulch]

taming lizard doggos is so underrated. if you're early game and taking it slow, they really give you some useful things

[timber shoal]

Oh right

Either way I just turn them off via mod cause they're annoying af

Why do those gas pillars even exist from a design standpoint? Are they just there to piss you off until you unlock nobelisks?

[reef basin]

lock areas

They are part of the lore. Just like lizard doggo nipples.

[shy mulch]

Why does anything exist?

[timber shoal]

Lock what areas? They seem to just be placed randomly

[south sinew]

gas mask is terrible really, better to just make more nobelisks

[reef basin]

afaik there's often nearby loot

[timber shoal]

At first I thought you needed the gas mask AND the hazmat suit to be radiation immune, turns out you just need the suit lol

[south sinew]

yeah just consumes the ionised filters

[heady mica]

really gotta hand the portable miner some praise

[timber shoal]

If there's a or then maybe, but I ain't wasting nobelisks for a single power slug

[reef basin]

how are you "wasting" something that's infinite? 😛

[timber shoal]

I mean...you gotta craft them

[reef basin]

which happens on its own on the background, fed into your depot and is overflowing to sink anyway

[quasi juniper]

are elevators normally shaky on multiplayer?>

also how do i configure floor names

[timber shoal]

Elevators are vanilla now? I only know them from a mod

[quasi juniper]

since 1.1

[hallow flicker]

And elevADA

[finite hornet]

I put added milk on the screen
@leaden turret

[leaden turret]

lol

[fluid sapphire]

petition to allow 1m conveyor belt segments 😩

[south sinew]

I wish you could have a storage container that was smaller

[leaden turret]

personal storage container or mods for that

[red linden]

Is there a way to display my build on the map?

[leaden turret]

SCIM (linked in #welcome )

[red linden]

Oh nice, thank you

[white dawn]

In addition to the external tool SCIM, I do think there's a mod which can do it too, on the ingame map. Though you'd want to check the modding discord/db to know if it's been updated for 1.1 yet

[mystic oriole]

is there a spot on the map, with the hard drives, that have steel pipes laying around?

[hard ivy]

there's like 2k pipes to be found total so there's several drop pods with them

[mystic oriole]

right, but where?

[hard ivy]

you can check SCIM for that

[reef basin]

or explore, you want to get most if not all the HDDs anyway 🙂

[pallid egret]

anyone else having dismantle crate issues on 1.1? I dismantle a bunch of blueprints that overfill my inventory... then go to remake the exact same blueprints (repositioning, etc), and find I'm short some random item like cable. Check the dismantle crate, and there's no cable inside.

[tropic dawn]

why does coal spawns in places i cant get bruh, is there any sort of jetpack in this game?

[leaden turret]

yes, if you're lucky you can get one free from johnny

[pallid egret]

yes, unlocked in T5

[hard ivy]

1. it doesn't spawn, the map is the same every time
2. there is a jetpack
3. you can just build up until you get it

[tropic dawn]

alr, ty

[heady mica]

im using portable miners to supply my smelters because i dont want to find another iron node

[tropic dawn]

also while travelling i've noticed some green gas which damages u, is it usable anywhere

[hard ivy]

usable, no

it's an obstacle

[broken thorn]

Is it me or do hypertube cannons change work based on your fps

[reef basin]

you'll gonna have fun later when the game will expect you to find many new nodes in other biomes

[mortal ginkgo]

there is a possible bug that game may not select the closest dismantle crate to put stuff together in

i sometimes get stuff from crates that are 600m plus away

[worn plume]

Has anyone figured how to turn off the ping sound yet? I thought maybe with 1.1 we'd be able to adjust/change/turn off the ping sound. I see other people complaining it messes with their dogs too. I'd even be open to checking out a mod if it is a solution.

[pallid egret]

I don't usually keep those around very long

[harsh terrace]

Any news about satisfactory on consoles aftre the stream?

[heady mica]

Portable miners truly are goated

[south sinew]

argh, I wish you cuold automate SAM fluctuator right away

[leaden turret]

consoles can crossplay between each other but not pc and not dedicated servers

[shy mulch]

as soon as you get steel you can, it's fairly early game

[south sinew]

it takes 3 inputs so you need a Manufacturer

[harsh terrace]

@leaden turret they dont gave us a release date ?

[white dawn]

Yeah, it takes awhile to be able to automate Fluctuators, alas

[reef basin]

meh, just automate things

[reef basin]

no, unless it's in #announcements

[leaden turret]

none as yet

[harsh terrace]

😦 i have it on pc but i want to play with console friends

[shy mulch]

You'll change your mind on that once you get to larger production chains

[rapid wren]

i made a massive heavy modular frame factory producing 11 per min, turns out o only needed 25% of it, unless p5 requires more

im generally surprised that you only need 1 constructor for many end game things, and midgame things like frames

[south sinew]

P5 does require quite a bit more

when do you get the personal elevator? I guess I expected to find it in Phase 2 but it's not there

[rapid wren]

im missing the 4th recipe requiring frames, is that a new kind of part or just an alternate?

[hard ivy]

shop

[fluid sapphire]

you need to be able to produce steel beams

[rapid wren]

elevator requires steel, motor, and quartz, so whatever phase that is.

[south sinew]

ah, I looked in the shop but didn't see it, musta been blind

[heady mica]

Yeah Im replacing my portable miners as we speak 💔

[south sinew]

once I get the elevator I can finally start my "real base" and junk this trash

[heady mica]

I used up all my iron plates making reinforced plates and now I need to make more iron plates for my conveyor

[heady mica]

And the cycle repeats...

[reef basin]

~~ditch your console friends, get PC friends 😛 ~~

[reef basin]

that's why I always suggest to not mix "production for personal storage" with "production for other factories/machines". Keep those separate

[heady mica]

Im already automating reinforced plates and rotors for phase 1 of the elevator
So i have to make more reinforced plates and normal plates for the conveyor

[sharp sentinel]

Woot, I've fully automated everything I need to make phase 2 products without doing anything super dumb like I usually do. I've actually managed to make the only thing I have to do for more complicated materials be adding another floor to my factories across grassy plains. I'm sure it'll only get easier when I unlock more content and expand further out.

[sharp sentinel]

Early on you can use splitters to feed the items you need for phases to machines to make then, and also feed to a storage unit or dimensional depot if you yourself also need them. It's a big help for progression.

[heady mica]

I would, but i need all the reinforced plates im producing to go where they need to go, or else it'll interrupt the crafting

[rapid wren]

https://tenor.com/view/game-of-thrones-got-shame-nun-gif-4969023

[hard ivy]

then just make more?

[rapid wren]

come on devs, give us gifs

[heady mica]

What do you think im doing?

[sharp sentinel]

As of this recent patch i think you can slot a splitter or merger directly onto a line and not interrupt the flow.

[heady mica]

I was talking about how ive already automated one bit but I cant grab the resources from there so I have to craft them myself to make the conveyor

[hard ivy]

you don't have to. build more machines

[heady mica]

Bro, what do you think im building a conveyor for

One problem solved, onto the next

[reef basin]

no, the spam here with enabled embeds is horrible, the channel becomes basically unreadable (and your message is a prime example why 😛 )

[hard ivy]

I wouldn't bother using something to make something else until I have the thing automated for myself first

[jolly flax]

Thank you and thank you too @cyan garnet

[heady mica]

I already am automating normal plates and reinforced plates, its just that I needed more for a side project to get more resources

[jolly flax]

And sorry for the ping

[hard ivy]

this has been a thing for years

[heady mica]

Side note, I just finished phase 1

[sharp sentinel]

I love I have this huge power overhead, and there's just randomly six biomass burners slotted into it because they looked too nice where they were.

[reef basin]

and is not very recommended for years, because it often makes the small belt sections inside splitters that are impossible to upgrade, so if you plan to ever upgrade the belt, better build splitters separately first 😛

(unless they fixed this recently, but I haven't heard yet that they did, so I'm assuming it's still the case)

[hasty peak]

anyone here an expert in using satisfactory modeler?

[reef basin]

https://dontasktoask.com/

[heady mica]

The construction in the sky scene is very nice

Uh... dont know how ill be able to attain 1000 smart plates

[hasty peak]

My bad I just finished my model for the entire game and just need some help on how to make recycled plastic/ rubber feedback loop work with the modeler

[hard ivy]

priority mergers/splitters

[white dawn]

If you set up a single machine making Smart Plates and let it run in the background, you're likely to be through 1000 smart plates long before you're at the point of actually being ready to unlock the next Elevator phase

Even if it's underclocked

[heady mica]

Passive crafting
You might be a genius

[hard ivy]

and just drop in 1k reinf plates and rotors into a container

[hasty peak]

may I dm you the screenshot so you can help?

[leaden ether]

Total? Or per minute? Total is easy, "time". 10 plates a minute would only be a little more than an hour and a half of automated production, 5 just about 3 hours.

[reef basin]

don't go into DMs, that way other people can't help 😛

make a #1038092680493801533 thread with images if you want to get help

[white dawn]

@heady radish (re: #screenshots message ) - Explosives! Find some sulfur and start researching it in the MAM

[reef basin]

I mean... that's what the whole game is about 😛

[heady mica]

I must be doing something wrong then

[white dawn]

So long as you're having fun, you're playing the game right. But yeah, the game more or less encourages you to automate everything and have stuff being produced 100% of the time in the background. :)

[heady mica]

My base is a mess right now

But it is full at the moment

[hasty peak]

just posted it

👍

[white dawn]

Everyone's first factories are a mess! (Many people's subsequent factories continue to be a mess!)

My main bit of advice there is to try and get out of the mindset of having a "main base." Just do smaller factories spread out all over the map. Leave your existing stuff as it is, producing its stuff. Make new stuff elsewhere! Each factory you build is an opportunity to avoid earlier mistakes, and make exciting new mistakes instead!

[heady mica]

I used to play with this guy, got me pretty far in the game but I barely did anything, so the main contributor to my issue is that I have no clue what to do

[sharp sentinel]

If you think your factory is a mess, you should have seen the one on the community spotlight during the 1.1 launch stream.

[white dawn]

Being able to start entirely fresh with each new factory is a lot easier than trying to undo a bunch of spaghetti in a "main base" attempt. :)

[sharp sentinel]

No surface of the ground was visible for conveyors.

[reef basin]

yeah, I'd recommend starting from scratch then and following what ADA tells you, learning the game for yourself 🙂

[heady mica]

I am, thats why I was pretty happy when I completed phase 1

[mystic oriole]

ADA is fine for the first experience, I ignore her most of the time now

[surreal ingot]

Man that fine concrete doesn’t seem immensely useful

[sharp sentinel]

They added new voicelines for ADA in 1.1, so I started over entirely just to hear them.

[mystic oriole]

wet concrete is better

[reef basin]

it is useful

[broken thorn]

Which one is better? Pure or leached caterium ingot

[formal glen]

is there a way to connect trains together or can i only build off the one?

[reef basin]

that depends just on you, which one you like more

[mystic oriole]

Like, I get it when you're making an aluminum plant. getting rid of waste is important.

[reef basin]

what waste?

[broken thorn]

water

[formal glen]

ficsit does not waste

[surreal ingot]

I got a hard drive early game do I grab iron wiring, fine concrete or rescan it

[reef basin]

recycle it back

[mystic oriole]

LOL!

[broken thorn]

ye thats what I do

[reef basin]

so then... it's not a waste? 😛

[mystic oriole]

always waste...

[leaden ether]

Heh, seeing a manufacturer poot out a single ballistic warp drive after two weeks of intense effort on an entire advanced tech factory is actually kind of anticlimactic 😄 ALL THAT WORK for one measly warp drive a minute. Well okay I'm making some other stuff along the way for other purposes too, but that one drive is sort of the ultimate culmination of everything else. Four trains bringing in high level materials from all over the map, tons of on site processing as well... All for this #screenshots message

[mystic oriole]

then put some sloops in it and see 2

[formal glen]

help me with my train problem please lol

[green fiber]

Leached gives you more ingots per ore but costs sulfur

Pure is cheaper but also a bit slower and you get a bit less ingots per ore

Which one is better for you depends on if you want to get sulfur involved

[junior laurel]

And how does one make 500 refineries look good? kek

[hard ivy]

I don't make anything look good so 🤷‍♂️

[junior laurel]

Lucky

[leaden ether]

Tempting 😄 Gotta get my sink score maxed out! That's like the winning "score" of the end game right? They should add a sink score leaderboard... 😄 (/s)

[green fiber]

One could call that a skill issue

[broken thorn]

I think I'll go with leached, I have some spare sulfur, and If I use it I'll be able to makeee 250 computers /min with 1560 caterium instead of thee 130ish /min with pure caterium ingot

although I am unsure If I'll need 250 computers p/m

[reef basin]

why are you making them then? 😛

[green fiber]

You dont ever need anything

[broken thorn]

I'd also need shit ton of oil

[green fiber]

The question is: do you want to make it anyway ?

[broken thorn]

why am I making computers?

[reef basin]

why are you making 250/min of them

[broken thorn]

I was planning on making 120

but I can double it with sulfur :V

[green fiber]

Usually the advice is: unless you need it in large amounts, settle for less until you have things that need a lot of it

[reef basin]

that also seems overly uneccessary

[radiant onyx]

can you connect pipe networks so you can flush them all at once without affecting flow?

[broken thorn]

I needed a reason to make 300GW ok? I need big factories 😭

[green fiber]

No, flushing empties them so you get 0 flow

[reef basin]

given that flow depends on fullness of pipe, no

[broken thorn]

I want to make shit ton of end game items

[radiant onyx]

not what i'm asking

[green fiber]

Then your question is confusing

[radiant onyx]

sorry this is where grammar could be used yeah

[reef basin]

calculate how much you need of final product and work backwards

[hard ivy]

and they use exactly 250 computers/min?

[broken thorn]

def no

ye I'll just use pure caterium 😔

[lament pelican]

No VOD of today's dev stream? wonder what I missed.

[radiant onyx]

can you connect various pipe networks so you can flush them all at once
literally just in the sense that they're all connected
and connect them in a way that doesn't disturb the flow so they all function normally

[broken thorn]

with the 2 pure nodes of caterium I have in hands I should get 125 computers /min

should be fine

[green fiber]

Ah.... welllll you could have unused vertical pipes from high above connect them.

But thats only safe if you arent near any flow limits

[radiant onyx]

ah okay

i read back my initial question and was like 'right yeah i see where the confusion is'

[primal haven]

why do you need to flush them for?

[radiant onyx]

no it was just a theoretical question

[green fiber]

Mind you this only works for networks that have the same fluid type

[radiant onyx]

yeah of course

[primal haven]

does the game let you attempt to mix multiple liquids?

[trim vine]

Theoretically, why are you asking?

[radiant onyx]

for no reason whatsoever

[green fiber]

Not at all

[trim vine]

You either flush or do not flush, no attempts

But, when systems are built properly, outside of initial set up when you're priming and making sure things flow as intended, you shouldnt have a need to flush ever

[primal haven]

yeah ive only ever needed to flush when i mixed up pipes i think

[broken thorn]

is this the best way to make it? https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production?share=e9FNrwMxqRq3q0uu7RVt

[trim vine]

confirming, this is for rubber and plastic?

[hard ivy]

the least crude oil, yes

[broken thorn]

yes

[trim vine]

Yes, I will assume you are in the western oil fields?

I did this exact set up

[reef basin]

well, depends how you define "best" 🙂

[hard ivy]

you know you can just enable all recipes, right?

[broken thorn]

I haven't decided yet. I might use the North area because I'll leave the oil in West for all that bauxite to make electrode scrap

[trim vine]

kk, if you would like I can send you a screenshot of my recycled plant

[broken thorn]

Sure, I'd want some ideas

I already have an idea of what'll do tho because I made a power plant that used pretty much the same logistics/machines ( 70 refineries and 116 blenders )

I'll just do the same thing but In a lower scale

[radiant onyx]

with a pipeline junction, can there be two inputs and two outputs?

[broken thorn]

it can be however you want

[radiant onyx]

alright

[hard ivy]

all connections are inputs and outputs at the same time

[white dawn]

That said, we tend to recommend keeping pipe networks as simple as possible

So doing funky things with flow like that might end up causing more problems than it's worth

(Or it might end up working fine, depending on how it's built. If you do run into problems with it and ask about 'em here, though, it's probably likely that someone will recommend simplifying the network. :)

[radiant onyx]

alright

well in that case i'll explain it briefly

[broken thorn]

If I've learned something after having tons of problems with pipes, it's that vertically solves it 90% of the times

for example, make the input higher than the output of the junction

[radiant onyx]

just trying to get 1020m^3 of crude oil (3x 240, 2x 120, 1x 60)
into 34 fuel generators that i want to split up amongst 4 floors

[trim vine]

Exactly

#screenshots message

[trim vine]

You can have oil flowing into a junction from 2 sides, and have outputs on the other 2 sides, yes

As long as the flow rate does not exceed 3 or 6 hundred, based on pipes

[broken thorn]

yeah that checks the 250 refineries out lol

[white dawn]

Personally I'd keep each extraction totally separate from each other. Have a three banks of machines processing 240/min each, two banks processing 120/min each, and one more processing 60/min

[radiant onyx]

why do you recommend that

[white dawn]

Debugging flow issues with liquids becomes exponentially harder the more and more complex the system is. Keeping things as simple as possible will give you the best chance of A) having a stable system, and B) having easier debugging when/if anything goes wrong

[trim vine]

@radiant onyx Agree with this though, no reason to mix input lines unless you have a very specific reason, such as merging two 300 lines of oil to 600

[broken thorn]

Just to make sure, it the non overclocking of the oil extractors intentional?

[radiant onyx]

yes

[broken thorn]

Ah, alright

[trim vine]

why?

[radiant onyx]

i'm not going to need more power for the foreseeable future

i can overclock when the time comes

[broken thorn]

I wish I thought like you

[trim vine]

In order, I tell everyone the same thing who is "newish" to the game

In order your priorities are:

1. Power
2. Aggressive MAM research
3. whatever you want

[trim vine]

Hmmmm?

[radiant onyx]

i mean i'm making 2x the power output my factory will need

so i think i'll be okay

[white dawn]

I always give my MAM a few whacks with the basher whenever I research anything; keeps the li'l bugger in line.

[broken thorn]

I made so much power I'll never use

[trim vine]

And its much harder to augment an existing liquid system later down the line, might as well just plan out whats needed now and build it up, you can potentially eliminate the need for expanding power for even longer

[radiant onyx]

well that's what i'm doing

[broken thorn]

could've saved myself 70 hours 😭

[trim vine]

What phase you in?

[solar aspen]

how make the train not take the shortest path?

[radiant onyx]

i'm on tier 6 so

[broken thorn]

No

[trim vine]

you cant

[radiant onyx]

phase 3

[white dawn]

You don't -- trains will always take the shortest path.

[broken thorn]

There might be a mod for it tho

[hard ivy]

make the shortest path not available

[vernal musk]

is there anyone here that is good with train signals

[white dawn]

The one exception is if you have a station "inline" on a track, with a "bypass" lane going around. Stations add a bit of virtual "distance" on their bit of track, so what trains view as the shortest path could end up being the bypass lane in those situations

[trim vine]

ok, so, you know how the economy of scale was an order of magnitude larger than tiers 1-4 compared to 5 and 6?

Tiers 7 and 8 are even larger

[radiant onyx]

great so

[broken thorn]

That's true, a single machine can consume dozens of GW

[radiant onyx]

i'm making 2x more than i need

and i don't really have the resources to make more power infrastructure at the moment

i can always overclock later on

[white dawn]

By the same token, though by the time you get to Tier 7+8 you're likely to be building out either nuclear or rocket fuel

[radiant onyx]

the question of 'why don't you overclock now' is because i have enough for now

[broken thorn]

Mitesse is just a chill guy :)

[radiant onyx]

^^^

[vernal musk]

is there anyone here that is good with train signals

[white dawn]

There's some diminishing returns with building out Fuel power; at some point you've just gotta decide that you're building Enough For Now. :)

[trim vine]

so i was producing 117 GW, hit phase 4, and had to stop my multiple mega factories to build this Rocket fuel Plant

@white dawn knows whats up 😛

[broken thorn]

Rocket fuel goes brrrrrrr

[white dawn]

(And you can always just build out some more if it turns out you under-estimated)

[trim vine]

I'm working on that now, and I have been here for weeks

[broken thorn]

I am regretting making rocket fuel instead of nuclear

[white dawn]

Could do both! :)

[hard ivy]

if you went nuclear, you would be regretting nuclear lol

[trim vine]

I WANT to do Nuclear, but I did an instant scrap thing and have no more sulfur 😛

[broken thorn]

Because I need power shards in other factories and I'm dried out

I used over 1200 power shards in my rocket fuel facility bro

and I don't even have them automated

😭

[white dawn]

Yeah, nuclear's a lot easier to scale, on that front

And Uranium nuclear competes very well complexitywise, IMO

[broken thorn]

you also need sulfur for rocket fuel...

[white dawn]

Could always just AGS or SCIM yourself some more shards, of course

[trim vine]

Correct, however, I need a lot less in terms of overall production (in this case power) to get the rocket fuel online versus nuclear
