satisfactory

[west jackal]

(Pre 1.0)

[dense mango]

rn im working on a save file with literally all 100% efficency

without power shards

[west jackal]

Ohh nice

[west jackal]

Ouch

[dense mango]

so im having actual hell trying to do motors rn

[west jackal]

Power shards are so nice

[dense mango]

im still in tier 6

[bold valley]

are trains completely broken in 1.1 ? all of my trains say cant reacy station even when they are already at it when i go into the train and press F to dock it just continues its time table ?

[dense mango]

my train works fine

[hard ivy]

I only use them for miners and in T9 after they're free

[west jackal]

Motors aren't too bad, I only make loke 15/min tho (I just finished my fuel plant)

[west jackal]

Really?

Ive never been short on them bc I slooped the slugs early on

[dense mango]

i cannot tell you the gratitude i have for the underclocking feature

[west jackal]

Had 200 shards early

[west jackal]

Hell yea! It makes factories so much nicer

[dense mango]

rn i have a factory for rifle ammo, nobelisk, and turbofuel, al connected to depots

[hard ivy]

Oh, I have 1.5k by now. But if I used them to fully OC the factory I'm currently building, I'd need over half of them

[dense mango]

so i can wirelessly get stuff while hunting spheres

[west jackal]

Yesss

[viral tendon]

I got weird bug that makes moving on hoverpack look like walking

[west jackal]

I have all that but ammo... I need to set it up but the smokeless is an issue rn

[dense mango]

i just made a train

that goes to every part of the world

that is far away, so it gets plastic, rubber, heavy oil(for smokeless) and sulfur

my factory is in the.. 2nd map im pretty sure

so everything is very far

[west jackal]

Yeah i forget that trains can move fluids bc ive never used them for it lol

I had a 2km long pipe in an old world LOL

[dense mango]

i had to move fluids before i got trains so i just had so many packagers around my world

[west jackal]

I normally just make a bigger factory instead. I only overclock semi auto factories or the miners

[west jackal]

Lol. I feel like trains are pretty soon after the packagers tho

I mean I haven't built comp factory this save but I have over 100 from crash sites

[dense mango]

yea but gettting 250 motors is hell when you have motors underclocked to 1 per minute 😭

[west jackal]

Oh lord

[dense mango]

i gave up on the no power shards thing so my factory is doing alot better now

[west jackal]

My man I think you need to get some alts to help with that😭

[dense mango]

almost no underclocks

[west jackal]

1 per minutes is so slowà

[dense mango]

yea i figured

[hard ivy]

well yeah that's pretty much what I'm doing? and you were questioning it

[west jackal]

I just built 240 fuel gens, those are 15 each

[dense mango]

W H A T ?

[west jackal]

Nooo I wasn't. I just meant they were available

[dense mango]

oh i see im talking to hardcore pros

[west jackal]

No I just wanted 60 GW

[vestal mica]

should take roughly 250 minutes if I'm doing the math right.

[west jackal]

Lol

[dense mango]

i see

[dense mango]

no sjhit bro

i just resorted to shredding some supercomputers i found at a crash site

to buy from shop

[west jackal]

240x15 for how long his motor factory would take to build my power plant (not including the 140 refinieres and 160 packagers)

[west jackal]

Based

[vestal mica]

multiplication is next semester

[west jackal]

Lol I'm doing bjt and current mirroring this very second

[dense mango]

except i actually fixed my factory so its running 100%

so 5 per min 😄

[viral tendon]

I have 21k motors it took me not so long to get those

[west jackal]

That's so much better

[west jackal]

Then you can do the sc :p

[strange glen]

Am I over thinking splitting up resources. Or can you manifold everything in this game ?

[viral tendon]

Im doing a whole another factory for them

[dense mango]

i want some advice on how i should advance my factory, muliple floors, or more cover area on the floor?

[green fiber]

both?

[west jackal]

Whatever suits the area you are building in 😄

[dense mango]

nah i dont want big fat factory i want either really tall tower or really big but short

[green fiber]

mix and match then

[west jackal]

I'm going to build a tower

[green fiber]

use either type depending on if the area allows for it

[west jackal]

I think two large towers for computers would look cool

[dense mango]

guys i just put my save into scim and it says i have 36km railways..

[green fiber]

this is really just architecture / aesthetics

[west jackal]

Logistic nightmare tho

[dense mango]

..

thats genius 😮

[west jackal]

I don't want belts between the towers so everything either needs through the base,ent or made in its own tower

[dense mango]

ill just use some underground clipping glitches

😄

[west jackal]

I really want to build the eye of sauron but that sounds hard in this game lol

Built one for iron farms in Mc years back

[dense mango]

make it construct screws as its the most accurate thing to sauron himself

[west jackal]

Lol

The eye just sounds like a pita with walls and foundations lol

Without it being MASSIVE and doing 8x8 pixels and doing pixel art

[viral tendon]

I'm making 114k p/m just with garbage idon't need, i think that's not for a long time...

Now 148k p/m

[dense mango]

i gotta go do sum else

adios

[west jackal]

Cya

Now I can pay attention to my prof lol

[dense mango]

ill be using scim

[leaden turret]

if you don't mind an non-uniform profile, do multiple floors but leave two walls unbuilt so you can expand it as-needed

[dense mango]

for spawning 500 cigarre- i mean coffee cups

[dense mango]

thats what im doing at the moment

[idle minnow]

I'm trying to join a game but every time it crashes with EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION, what can I do?

[reef basin]

post the whole crash log in #1038092680493801533 as text

[dense mango]

google it, probbably unstable hardware

[idle minnow]

googled it, no results

[west jackal]

Hmm yea.. for my two towers I need to fit the factory in the building not vice versa like a typical build

But that is smart for normal builds

[idle minnow]

ok restarting the server fixed it. Some train related crash i guess

[dense mango]

it was a dedicated server... i see

yea glitches like these can happen especially on servers

[viral tendon]

Any tools to help with building factory?

[warped pawn]

scim

[viral tendon]

Like websites

https://satisfactory-calculator.com/en/interactive-map#3;49935;168091|gameLayer|oilPure;worldBorder

import ur save and u figure it out, its pretty simple

[viral tendon]

I have no idea how

[bitter lodge]

there is also satisfactory tools.

[viral tendon]

It's very complicated for me

There's just too muich machines used

[bitter lodge]

That is how the game becomes-

what are you trying to make?

[warped pawn]

just press the small green arrow and import ur save u can find ur save at C:\Users\AppData\Local\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames

[viral tendon]

Supercomputer

[bitter lodge]

if you are already making everything needed before it, you can transport those items and its less machines

but if you are making it from raw resources, ya its gonna be a lot to process

[viral tendon]

Website says i need 50 fused modular frames

[warped pawn]

then thats what u need for how much supercomputers u want to make/m

[arctic swallow]

guys i have xray vision

[viral tendon]

Trust me

[bitter lodge]

you are using an alt recipe I assume?

[viral tendon]

I do NOT need 50 fused modular frames for 2 supercomputers per minute

[viral tendon]

No]

[arctic swallow]

i littery see train befinde cliffs

[proven swift]

whats the max height of an elevator?

[bitter lodge]

no super computer recipe requires fused frames

[viral tendon]

Some

[viral tendon]

Ai limiter, supercomputer, high speed connector, plastic

[warped pawn]

can u zoom in, all i see is red blocks

[viral tendon]

I made all of these things before unlocking fused frames

[peak wasp]

So question here

[arctic swallow]

these red stuff are the trains

[peak wasp]

Fuel Generation makes a byproduct correct?

[arctic swallow]

https://discordapp.com/channels/370472939054956546/553550313533997057/1387157338385027193

[peak wasp]

Can I use that bi-product for coal power?

[arctic swallow]

no

[peak wasp]

Like is it efficient to use the bi product of fuel generation to make into some kind of coal

[arctic swallow]

they just consume fuel

[warped pawn]

ohh yeah u have to hover the paint tool over them for it to go away or just reload

[arctic swallow]

i mean you can if you say a bi-product is power and you want to mine coal

[peak wasp]

It makes a Polymer Resin

[arctic swallow]

that are refineries

not fuel generators

[peak wasp]

Yes they generate fuel

They are not fuel generators but they generate fuel

[arctic swallow]

bruh

i will crash out

[bitter lodge]

That is like coal generators say they generate coal xD

[arctic swallow]

they produce residue oil that can be turned into fuel

[peak wasp]

But yeah the Polymer Resin can it be used to make coal

[arctic swallow]

only residue oil

[bitter lodge]

you can make coal coke from heavy residue I think

[arctic swallow]

resin is to make fabric, plastic or rubber

[peak wasp]

Hmmm that's unfortunate

I guess I'll keep feeding it into the sink I have no major use for ridiculous amounts of plastic and fabric

Or rubber

[arctic swallow]

remember to polute the ocean for more tasty fish :D

[peak wasp]

Like I need some of it once and a while but yeah

Wait game question

Can I make a setup where I can feed three machines with the bi product

[arctic swallow]

yeah

[peak wasp]

Like splitters that split things into a rubber machine, a plastic machine then a sink at the end

[arctic swallow]

use smart spliters with overflow to sink

[peak wasp]

And when the chests that contain all the rubber/plastic fill up everything will directly go into the sink

[arctic swallow]

you don't want your oil factory to stop if you use it for power

[sour ledge]

i'm actually here building out into the 'fog' from a waterfall, wondering if i can just... build way, way down here where nothing can be seen from above. i was down here just to build supports that went down "forever" into the void to give the illusion they connected to the ground... eventually, but now im thinking - hidden fog base?

i wonder if i go down far enough there really is an ocean...

[peak wasp]

Like you have a belt with the end of it being a sink

With splitters along that belt that split into plastic and rubber machines

[arctic swallow]

smart spliter before the container with overflow that feeds the sinking machine

[quasi juniper]

what was the alternative recipee used for rocket fuel? like it was a must

[peak wasp]

So I am curious of another idea

What if I make nothing but rubber and plastic

[arctic swallow]

with the blender?

[peak wasp]

And then use the bi product of that and dilute it into fuel

[quasi juniper]

Turbo fuel sorry my bad

[peak wasp]

Using the diluted fuel recipe

[arctic swallow]

there is one using fuel heavy oil sulfur and petrolum coke, the other was heavy oil and comapcted coal

[peak wasp]

Because I am pretty sure that rubber and plastic is worth more in the sink then the resin

And since I don't really need it outside a full chest of it I can just sink it all

Use the heavy residue as fuel

[south sinew]

You hit the bottom of the map.

[trim vine]

If you havent, you can automate gas filters, and there is never a downside to making more plastic and rubber, literally just need a splash of rubber

And as someone who is constructing a second, massive, recycled plastic and rubber plant, please trust you can always use more

[rancid hearth]

Guys, any idea as to why my train station containers don't fill ? It's set to load and I got power

[trim vine]

What phase/tier are you in?

[trim vine]

belts might be going into the wrong slot?

Send a screenshot

[rancid hearth]

Not possible, I load from the factory. It's just a small test station :

(and can't send screenshot)

[trim vine]

Send and tag me in a screenshot in #screenshots, or #design-and-architecture

[arctic swallow]

does the sation get the fluid?

check if you don't need to place a pump somewhere or a pipe

[rancid hearth]

yeah, it get one container of fluid, another of materials

[peak wasp]

Just got oil power

[trim vine]

ok, then I highly suggest you learn to utilize byproducts in a way you can palate.

Byproduct complexity will only rise as you progress further, with respect to fluid builds

[peak wasp]

Okay

[next umbra]

If in doubt sink it out.

[glad harbor]

is the best place for a nuclear power plant still crater lakes

[placid stirrup]

@peak wasp wtf there's an imposter

[south sinew]

goddamn I completely forgot that you can just stick belts to the ceiling

[arctic swallow]

you can also go thru walls

[placid stirrup]

From the windows

[south sinew]

yeah, but I'm not using walls so not that fussed about that

[peak wasp]

?

[placid stirrup]

This town ain't big enough for two tsunamis

[arctic swallow]

now duel and the victor keeps the name

[compact aspen]

I started this game when 1.0 released. Took a long break but now want to get back into it. I'm stuck on phase 4... so lost on what I was doing and how to pick up where I left off. Around 130hrs into this save. I think I need to backtrack... a lot. Man, I'm so out of the loop.

[hollow vector]

we need satisfactory dark mode ui

[shy mulch]

What are your goals? Just to finish the space elavator? Take one step at a time and just work out a separate production line for each thing

[south sinew]

SWEET MOTHER OF MERCY YOU CAN BUILD SPLITTERS AND MERGERS DIRECTLY ON TO THE CEILING TOO?

[mortal ginkgo]

you can technically infinite nudge them

but yes, they stick to walls and ceilings

[south sinew]

you don't need to do that, just pick splitter and aim at the ceiling

[viral tendon]

#screenshots message Rate this spaghetti

[lime ermine]

That's not spaghetti that's just overlapping belts

[viral tendon]

What's the difference

[lime ermine]

Not chaotic enough

[viral tendon]

#screenshots message Is this chaotic enough

[lime ermine]

Almost

You have yet to learn the ways of Josh

Sadly I am not home so I don't have any spaghetti pictures on me

[kind obsidian]

the even snap to walls

[compact aspen]

My main goal at the moment is to automate all the parts I sort of cheesed passed. I had built temporary setups to get parts made for past phases. I reeealy need those automated for real now. I have no clue what I am already making, though. I need to go back over all my factories and find out what I'm already automating and mark them on my map. I have no Manufacture items being made, which I really need to do. And a lot of Assembler parts that I still need to make setups for. But for now, I think I might focus on MAM research for dimensional depots. I have a depot for Iron Plates, Iron Rods, Reinforced Iron Plates, Concrete, Cable, Wire and Copper Sheet. I should scale up the production of those and make more depots for parts. That will make things easier. I should probably make a central storage place too... idk... so much to do...

[lost wagon]

Taj's Graphical Overhaul looks interesting, but for whatever reason it makes my mouse slow, feels like it add mouse acceleration for no reason

[fossil zinc]

is it possible to go off grid by .5m?

[south sinew]

yeah, but I just love it on the ceiling

maybe I should even start using lifts to lift them straight on to the ceiling

[viral tendon]

What can i do with awards or statues?

[leaden ether]

Decorate youre base

[viral tendon]

What about the ficsit mark

I can just ficsit mark everything?

[leaden ether]

I honestly don't know about that one O.O

Oh it's a multiplayer joke on the buyable X/Twitter checkmark fiasco

[bitter lodge]

Its organzied?

[leaden ether]

If you buy it then there will be a ficsyt checkmark by your name in the players list I guess

[south sinew]

having all your belts on the ceiling is amazing

[bitter lodge]

Only difference is that its all on the same Y level

[viral tendon]

Wdym

[bitter lodge]

If you raised each splitter set up by like 1. It wouldn't be "spaghetti"

[bitter lodge]

Makes logistical floors 10x better

[loud ivy]

try to share resource inputs to save on transport costs

[bitter lodge]

I have enough space I can run under the belts. Then just use the ceiling for extra space

[lethal ocean]

OK so I used AI (Ew, I know) to come up with a massive list of production for me to challenge myself, and it has some outrageous goals set for me.

[bitter lodge]

I imagine you have better belts now vs when you first made them right? So upscaling can be a little easy

[lethal ocean]

150 nuclear pasta/min?!

[mortal ginkgo]

you dont need AI for that. "use all uranium" is ridiculous as it is 😛

[lethal ocean]

Done that before. I want to automate everything to the maximum degree

[bitter lodge]

Can I give a suggestion?

[lethal ocean]

Go for it

[bitter lodge]

Take all the iron, copper, caterium, and using pure recipes only. Make it all into ingots :)

[south sinew]

I've just made a new build with Pure Iron Ingot and Coated Iron Plate

[trim vine]

I dont think you can do this

[south sinew]

maybe this is "huge overkill" to be making 2k ingots and 2k plates/min, but whatever

[hard ivy]

you can do 200

[leaden ether]

Getting ready to start a new playthrough. Gave myself all researches and alt recipies (no need to go through all that again). One thing I am not super looking forward too is the initial power/building supplies factory bootstrap 😛

[bitter lodge]

2K PLATES!?

[trim vine]

You sure?

I threw 150 into satisfactory tools with everything enabled for alts, and it said no, 100 though can be done

[bitter lodge]

You can turn that off :)

[trim vine]

Hgihest I could make it in the tools was 134

[south sinew]

with Pure it's 1 ore to 2 ingot (close enough), and with Coated it's 1 ingot to 2 plate, so that's actually only one Pure node with mk2 miner and overclock

[hard ivy]

sloops get you to 203.55 according to Satisfactory Optimizer. It doesn't do sloops perfectly, but I haven't seen it make mistakes, so it's possible you could make slightly more than that

[mossy palm]

damn this game so good

played for the first time

[trim vine]

ahhhh, using sloops, gotcha

[bitter lodge]

Hold up.

[trim vine]

134 sans sloop then

[bitter lodge]

1 pure iron node. You are making 2k plates?

[south sinew]

yeah

[bitter lodge]

....so stealing that

[viral tendon]

When awesome sink for fluid

[bitter lodge]

I am only making like 20 plates/min atm xD

[hard ivy]

package it and it's solid

[bitter lodge]

Packager :)

[leaden ether]

Well I know I can turn off "Cost to build" BUT... I think that might be a little too sandboxy for me. I would like to have the build cost there. Like I want to continue with the gameplay I had at the end of my last save, just with a completely blank slate. But I do have to build the construction materials factory and power it before I can start building anything else for real...

[south sinew]

mk2 miner is 240 iron/min, then overclock to 100% is 480 iron min, which is 960 ingot/min (close enough, pure ingot), which is 1920 plates/min (coated plate)

[viral tendon]

Fair enough

[bitter lodge]

I was talking about turning off power

[lethal ocean]

Hell no lol, it would need literally every available node, and then some

[south sinew]

I really think I probably have no need for this but last time I thought I made too many iron plates but singularity cells really annoyed me with needing a ton of them, so this time I'm being.. more aggressive

[bitter lodge]

I am so happy you shared this :)

[summer agate]

gang how to overclock brain to be able to play this ass game

[south sinew]

if you're making 20 plates/min you're probably some way away from hitting Tier 5 and having the alts you would need to put it to such a use

[bitter lodge]

Calculator :D

[mortal ginkgo]

you need power shards irl, find a doggo , release them at night and they will bring something in morning. Hopefully a slug.

[leaden ether]

OH 😄 heh... I thought about turning off cost to build (and power too I guess) till I GOT the powerplant and materials factory built then turning it back on but... I'll try to work through it as quickly as I can 🙂

[bitter lodge]

No...I just never updated my iron factory xD its still using mk1 miner, and mk1 belts

[summer agate]

how to calculate where to put the buildings 👴 I need an engineer

[trim vine]

Yeah, a 134, sans slooping things, is the max

[viral tendon]

Draw that cool S paint it red and repeat it 50 times, then glue it to your head

[summer agate]

hate logistics

[bitter lodge]

Your factory your chaos :D

[trim vine]

and it would take.... 542143.442 MW

[viral tendon]

Now because of somersloops you're 2x smarter

[summer agate]

things could just teleport to the destined place

[bitter lodge]

I turned power off really early cause my god. My leave gaining was annoying

And now its just cozy not having to drag power across the entire map

[bitter lodge]

Trial and error

[bitter lodge]

Automation game...but you hate logistics...

[leaden ether]

Yeah 😄 My personal set of things I do and don't want to be challenged by. It's nice we have a lot of options. If I did a third I probably would go full sand box.

[hard ivy]

650 GW if you OC everything. and only 3k machines lol

[bitter lodge]

I love ceral. But hate milk

[summer agate]

belts occupy space, I do not have space 👴

[bitter lodge]

That would be crazy fun. See how much you can just mass produce of like 1 item xD

[bitter lodge]

Go vertical :D

[summer agate]

I want a tight claustrophobic factory but it don't fit logistics

[summer agate]

👴 might

[bitter lodge]

Uppies is my go to always :)

[lethal ocean]

Is 500 batteries/min even possible lol

[summer agate]

is there any chat where y'all put some of your constructions?

[lethal ocean]

I dont mind working out the kinks with the AI charting it all but I gotta know if its even possible

[bitter lodge]

#design-and-architecture

[hard ivy]

not just possible, it's easy

[bitter lodge]

Put it in satisfactory tools

[lethal ocean]

okay

[clear aspen]

Hello chat

[summer agate]

the spiral petroleum project really helped me out ♥️

I'll try finding something useful for tier 3 and 4

since y'all look to hate this moment

[bitter lodge]

Hate what?

[clear aspen]

How’s ur day been

[summer agate]

[bitter lodge]

Its fun o.o?

[summer agate]

lost this day off in satisfactory and made absolutely (literal) zero progress

what about yours?

[viral tendon]

Why is aweesome shop so awesome

[summer agate]

it's not

[clear aspen]

Good, just chilled and played cod cause somehow foraging update came out before console support

[summer agate]

it's expensive

[summer agate]

which cod

[mystic oriole]

how do you guys get custom signs in game? Do you use a mod?

[clear aspen]

Bo6

[bitter lodge]

Alien protein go brrrr

[hard ivy]

I have 500 coupons with nothing useful to spend them on

and I haven't even completed phase 4 yet

[summer agate]

people saying it's bad but idk, haven't wanted to play it since 2, don't u like bf?

[summer agate]

good

what

[bitter lodge]

[clear aspen]

I like battlefront and cod, they’re both good

[summer agate]

battlefield

[bitter lodge]

Hoverpack or jetpack while building factories?

[clear aspen]

I don’t play battlefield

[summer agate]

idk ground maybe 👴

[bitter lodge]

New challenge. Limit your movement. No special legs, jetpack, or hoverpack :)

[hard ivy]

Jetpack with LBF for me. or modded hoverpack. vanilla hoverpack is kinda trash

[west jackal]

anyone that says anything other than hoverpack is lying

[bitter lodge]

Lbf?

[mystic oriole]

depends on the scenario

[hard ivy]

liquid biofuel

[bitter lodge]

What is the modded!?

[lethal ocean]

I'd rather die lol

[bitter lodge]

LMAO

I like the hoverpack cause I stay floating and look down

[summer agate]

bf open fields are way better than cod, multiplayer speaking

[hard ivy]

hoverpack configurator mod with all sliders set to 2

[compact aspen]

Woah, Just found out you can drop your save into Satisfactory Calculators Interactive Map and it shows... basically everything. Every powerline, conveyor, building, foundation... down to what ITEMS are on the conveyors. How much per minute and shows the direction too. This will make it easier to plan out where everything goes.

[west jackal]

yeah no. the first thing i get every playthrough is bladerunners

[clear aspen]

I play it cause zombies and free extraction game

[west jackal]

you also Could modifyinventories with that

[summer agate]

extraction? like a looter shooter?

[clear aspen]

Yea

[bitter lodge]

Nexus mods?

[clear aspen]

I enjoy those from time to time

[bitter lodge]

I totally forgot about modding...

[hard ivy]

ficsit.app

[bitter lodge]

Once I discovered them...my god. The zooommmieeessss

[bitter lodge]

Oh a specific site. Awesome :D

[compact aspen]

Oh wow you aren't lying. I can interact with buildings directly from this map. I can move this biomass burner, turn it off, delete it. Wow. I wonder if I could theoretically drag and drop a factory somewhere else...

Nah I cant.
Nevermind I can.

[clear aspen]

I wanna belt so bad it would make let’s game it out jealous

[viral tendon]

Oh have you not heard? I thought everybody have heard

[compact aspen]

I've never used this interactive map before. Only the production planner and the blueprints.

[viral tendon]

That was

That was not the joke

[clear aspen]

I’ve never used blueprints before and I’m about to start phase 3, should I start early?

Or wait until I need to make blueprints

[viral tendon]

You can use blueprints for big walls big floors

[west jackal]

blueprints are insanely nice

[clear aspen]

Alr imma do that once I get back to Texas

[lethal ocean]

I dont really use blueprints-

[viral tendon]

For scs' i would need a LOT of plastic

That stinks

[clear aspen]

Dead chat

[south sinew]

by the way anyone having a problem where with vertical splitters, if the top connects to a hole where the other side isn't used yet, the other side doesn't work until you re-place the bit between the splitter and the hole?

[lethal ocean]

I feel like vertical splitters were slightly rushed and not thought through completely. There definitely could have been better design to it

[barren lily]

Only problems I have are bugs when conveyors in stright build mode are randomly making small curves

[atomic notch]

Cope

[viral tendon]

Thats because

[mortal ginkgo]

vertical splitters doesn't work much more than they work, I am afraid

[lethal ocean]

Hey man, I'm allowed to have an opinion

[atomic notch]

Yeah

[barren lily]

Oh god I need to build a base

[mortal ginkgo]

Eh... he isn't wrong.

Problems were reported constantly about them.

[atomic notch]

Oh im sorry then

[dense mango]

guys its official i have 100GW worth of coal generators now

[mortal ginkgo]

bro why

[atomic notch]

Sickk

[dense mango]

boredom

[barren lily]

Damn and WHY

[dense mango]

i wanted to

[mortal ginkgo]

This is madness. PURE madness.

[dense mango]

i agree

[atomic notch]

What kinda coal. Just regular coal?

[dense mango]

regular coal

[atomic notch]

Rip

[barren lily]

[mortal ginkgo]

bro at least turn them into compacted coal Q_Q

[dense mango]

i had to use almost every coal node in the world

[bitter lodge]

I love satisfactory being the way it is. Because everyone has their own chaos

[bitter lodge]

But what about steel?

[atomic notch]

Shoulda just done pet coke haha

[lethal ocean]

Oh god I was gonna congratulate you if you used compact coal or petroleum coke but using regular coal...

[dense mango]

wdym

[atomic notch]

Coke steel

[mortal ginkgo]

Correct. At least he doesn't have 100GW with Biomass Burners

[barren lily]

About that, any ideas how to make 1920 compacted coal for my rafinery?

[dense mango]

yea becsuse i have 150GW actually XD

[mortal ginkgo]

asking someone who doesn't even have refinery 😛

[atomic notch]

I got like 2 but yeah its tough

[bitter lodge]

Ohhhh didn't know that be a thing

[barren lily]

Me too (yet)

[atomic notch]

Oil is op dude

[bitter lodge]

Refineries change the game

[clear aspen]

Chat is alive

[bitter lodge]

Add a little water. Have hella more ingots

[dense mango]

ohh you guys use alternative recipies

i forgor about those

[clear aspen]

Why can’t we have emojis and stickers?

[dense mango]

too boring to make it easier

[atomic notch]

Bc i would get banned prolly

[clear aspen]

Then don’t send bad stickers or emojis

[barren lily]

My math said Im able to produce 200 plastic 300 rubber, 1920 turbofuel (I can double it by sommersloops but Im not sure) and that's gives me around 128GW of pure power from some oil

[mortal ginkgo]

you are a shrimp on a crusade, don't think you will hurt much

[clear aspen]

I read rubber as scrubber I play to much industrialist

[mortal ginkgo]

not being able to post images and make people go to screenshot section is meh tho'

[atomic notch]

Well its just that a lot of them are nsfw

Or offensive and whatnot

[dense mango]

guys i put my save file(the one with 100GW of gen) and it says i have 46km of trains

as in railway

[hard ivy]

My condolences

[barren lily]

About alternative recipies, I finished my computer factory today, only 60 per minute (59h save💀)

[atomic notch]

U can in other channels like math and architecture

[barren lily]

And btw this factory produces 4500mw per minute just by burning trash like fuel made from heavy oil

[atomic notch]

Its all just spam prevention

[dense mango]

huh?

[barren lily]

You said you forgot about alternative recipies

[hard ivy]

No alts is pain

[dense mango]

uh huh

[dense mango]

not for me

[atomic notch]

Pain is just weakness leaving the body

[barren lily]

Put this man in mental hospital hes crazy

[atomic notch]

Bros afraid of screws that why he uses alts

[dense mango]

i aspire to be a certain person named lets game it out

[barren lily]

Okay that explains much

[snow rune]

anyone know where i can find all the sfx for the game?

[hard ivy]

Nurse, we're losing him

[snow rune]

are they in the files?

[dense mango]

💀

[barren lily]

Check #faq

[snow rune]

dont think it says there

[barren lily]

Then idk

[hard ivy]

I'd assume so. Might need to use FModel though, idk where they are

[barren lily]

Well I need idea where to build heavy modular frames factory (and how much of to produce cuz I feel like im gonna produce too much again)

[dense mango]

in the place where u find them

[barren lily]

Goos point mr. MADNES

[hard ivy]

Make sure you use Heavy Encased Frame

[barren lily]

Which one was that?

[hard ivy]

Wdym? The recipe is called that

[barren lily]

And im asking which recipie is that😅

[hard ivy]

!wikisearch hmf

[fossil ice]

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

[barren lily]

Okay now i know

-# I was thinking about this recipie accualy

[snow rune]

any possible way that doesn't involve downloading anything?

im very paranoid

[south sinew]

hmm

[barren lily]

But now I need perfect place to build that and most important how much

[south sinew]

maybe I'm overbuilding things if I'm up to 8GW max consumption and barely finishing up iron products..

[lost wagon]

tfw steam goes into maintenance as I click to open the game

[hard ivy]

No clue where the sound files are. They could just be in some folder. But if they're in the unreal engine project file, then I don't think you can just open it without downloading anything

[barren lily]

Im up to 25GW and produce 50 engines, 60 computers, 100 stators than needed for engines and other basic parts

-# Now i need to build a base

-# im still using base I made after 9h of game

-# Now im on 60h and need something new, big and shiny

[bitter lodge]

Chrome paint is shiny

[dense mango]

can i change my server profile name

i answered my own question

yes i can

[barren lily]

He did it

[clear aspen]

It is time

[dense mango]

im officially mr madness

[atomic notch]

Cool

[barren lily]

Time for what?

[clear aspen]

Name change

I tried to fit machine

But it didn’t work

[south sinew]

did I really need 130 reinforced iron plates/minute? no, but I want them

[dense mango]

only 130? Thats cute

[south sinew]

eh, it's way more than I actually need ;p

[atomic notch]

U wanna talk about madness im using every alt

[dense mango]

last time i checked it was 375 before i fully power sharded my factory

[dense mango]

im using no alts

[clear aspen]

Yall should read my bio

[dense mango]

rey is not a skywalksr

thats true

[clear aspen]

The ping part

[dense mango]

shes a sky crawler at most

[clear aspen]

She a palp

[tired cypress]

anyone else having the game become a slideshow after a few hours

[dense mango]

ill think about it

[mystic oriole]

I read that wrong

[barren lily]

1. Ray is not Skywalker (+1)
2. You gonna die alone for flashing me at 00:18
3. F-15 Good

[dense mango]

Yea same after 3 hours it just jumps between stable 75 and 40

[celest onyx]

haha, producing 60 Superposition Oscillator per min only for dark matter residue. Need the residue for my nuclear waste recycling, want the process free of SAM

[barren lily]

I do

[clear aspen]

This made me laugh

Do you want me to do all deep forest green

[tired cypress]

ok good, not just me then

[leaden ether]

Not a slide show but it does slow down and if I let it run over 10 hours (of my running around all over the place) it will crash due to a UE5 Object leak

[dense mango]

i dont think you should be playing 3 or more hours imo

[barren lily]

I though my rtx 3060 was burning

[dense mango]

i also have a 3060, only its a 3060 ti

[barren lily]

I had 20-30 fps after 7h

[mystic oriole]

<- this guy playing for 16 hours on weekends.
Nope no problem here.

[dense mango]

i got a notification for playing 84 hours because i forget to turn off satisfactory and im pretty sure after i saw it my game crashed

[barren lily]

[dense mango]

only from mr madness

🙏

[mystic oriole]

longest run I did was 47 hours

[dense mango]

wait wdym 1176 hours

[mystic oriole]

oh, that's just how much time i've played the game in total

[barren lily]

Im special, I had 6 test runs of my computer factory today, everytime I was able to find something I fucked up

[dense mango]

ah i see

[dense mango]

lemme upd me name then

[hard ivy]

The highest break notification I've seen was an 18h hour one. And I was actually playing for 18 hours 😅

[dense mango]

ok is done

[mystic oriole]

nice

[dense mango]

oh i forgot comma

[barren lily]

Find a god in yourl life

[clear aspen]

Mine was 12 I think

[dense mango]

oh well im too lazy to try to

[dense mango]

my grandma has 16482 hours on candy crush

[clear aspen]

Get 8k you won’t

[dense mango]

i actually checked it

[dense mango]

i probbably will in the future

[barren lily]

Im sure she has Diabetes now

[dense mango]

bob has diabetes ahh

she dosent have diabetes, she has cancer💔

[mystic oriole]

eeek cancer

[dense mango]

guys should i make a fuel generator tower with 5 gen each floor that goes to height limit

[barren lily]

Sounds fun

[dense mango]

i wanna create a power plant

my third one this save

[barren lily]

But i see a small flaw

[dense mango]

imma do it

[mystic oriole]

how about a power plant that does all power generation there.

[barren lily]

Too many gens per floot

[wild igloo]

Do we know if the Xbox release will be soon? Now that 1.1 is out

[barren lily]

One should be enough

[dense mango]

why tho i was thinking 10

[barren lily]

We know exactly nothing

[dense mango]

nah im doin 5

i wanna make a big pentagon tower

[hard ivy]

We know it's planned for this year

[lethal ocean]

I just hope xbox will be able to play with pc

[dense mango]

of fuel generators on each corner

[hard ivy]

Pretty sure they already confirmed it's not going to

[wild igloo]

Would be nice

[barren lily]

Build wtc

[dense mango]

wtc?

[barren lily]

9/11

[lethal ocean]

I feel its a big missed opportunity to not have crossplay

[dense mango]

cross-play is easy with dedicated servers, unless its like Minecraft with 2 different versions

[south sinew]

opprtunity has nothing to do with it; they won't offer crossplay because they can't, not because they don't want to

[lethal ocean]

Hm, I suppose

[dense mango]

no thanks i like pentagons

[dense mango]

they can if they don’t figuratively change the entire game just so its console compatible

like minecraft java and minecraft bedrock

[south sinew]

that's mostly minecraft-specific fail, rather than something any sane person would choose to do

[dense mango]

or minecraft ps4 edition for som reason

[lethal ocean]

Idk, I just wanna be able to play with my friends that dont own a pc

[barren lily]

I can imagine ps 4 burning cuz satisfactory
-# hope it's gonna be aveilable only on new gen consoles

[dense mango]

maybe satisfactory is too hard for consoles to play, so they need to change the entire game code so it performs well

[dense mango]

just play on low quality(impossible)

[lethal ocean]

Wait hang on, isnt there strong indications that the next xbox will be a gaming pc?

[dense mango]

could be

[south sinew]

Usually it's some more mundane and less sane reason, like a restriction from the platform owner, or some problem with linking accounts or some crap like that

[dense mango]

xbox ally seems like it

[lethal ocean]

And I am fairly certain that we got a leak of a steam tab on xbox

[barren lily]

That will be a xbox with acces to steam

[dense mango]

Xbox ally is the device the leak came from

[hard ivy]

Unless they do massive performance improvements for 1.2, console players won't be able to do huge endgame builds. Those can bring a 9800X3D to its knees lol

[barren lily]

Happly i Have Xbox series X
-# Still gona play on pc cuz better

[dense mango]

so my 100GW coal generator power plant isnt enough to crash my i7?

[barren lily]

It's about rendering

[dense mango]

i call blasphemy

[dense mango]

i play on max settins

[barren lily]

Game doesn't render everything, most things are reduced as much as possible when you dont look at them to optimalize the game

[barren lily]

Me too

[dense mango]

i was working in it and no massive frame drops other than the fact it freezes before i look at it

[hard ivy]

100 GW of coal at 100% clock speed is only 1.3k coal gens and 500 water extractors. Using up the majority of the world's resources requires 10x that, fully overclocked

[lethal ocean]

I suppose only time will tell

[dense mango]

i literally used every coal node

miner mk 3 with every speed upgrade

[dull wraith]

how do i counter radition creatures

[barren lily]

Hazmat suit

[lethal ocean]

Hazmat or blow them to outer orbit

[dense mango]

pulse nobelisk

3 of those and it should be travelling biomes

[barren lily]

I recommend using nuclear weapons

[dull wraith]

okay i dont have rebar gun or hazmat or pulse either im working on getting hard drives to scan and still on phase 2

[atomic notch]

Prolly missed a pipe/belt/cable somewhere

[dense mango]

just get nobelisk

[hard ivy]

Unless you underclocked, it's only 2k machines 🤷‍♂️ U6 could handle that just fine, nevermind 1.0

If you used the resources, ekhem, efficiently, you would need 10x that to consume them (though obviously not just coal)

[dull wraith]

okay thanks

[barren lily]

Then you can do exactly nothing

[dull wraith]

okay

[dense mango]

i just wanted 10gw not consume all the worlds nodes

[lethal ocean]

I sure do love waiting for my fuel gents to balance out because I am not going to perfectly split fluids

[dense mango]

fuel gens overrated

[barren lily]

Naaah

[dense mango]

biomass burner is more peak

[atomic notch]

Real

[lethal ocean]

I'm just making a 20gw turbofuel plant to sustain me until next tiers

[barren lily]

Sick

[atomic notch]

Bio burners are the best

[dense mango]

i have a 50GW bio burner power plant

it uses literally no material cuz they only generate what is needed

[atomic notch]

Imagine making power at a set clock speed 🤮

[barren lily]

Only 20gw? Im gonna build 128gw power plant using turbofuel

[dense mango]

yea exactly

[barren lily]

Only 512 fuel gens needed

[clear aspen]

I read gas instead of bio I’m to adicted to Indus

[hard ivy]

My condolences

[lethal ocean]

I fully intend on retrofitting this to rocket/ionized fuel

[hard ivy]

Ionized sucks for power production. Literally objectively worse than rocket fuel

[atomic notch]

Only got like 2250mw bio burners on my workd but endgame its getting an overhaul

[dense mango]

my auto correct sorry

sleep turns jnto that

for some reason

[hard ivy]

Autocorrect for an entire paragraph, huh?

[dense mango]

imma go sleep bye

[clear aspen]

Should I go to bed?

[barren lily]

That's why im gonna build second line that turns all this fuel into ionazed fuel so yeah, more power

[dense mango]

text replacement sorry

[clear aspen]

Imma go to sleep

[dense mango]

same

[atomic notch]

Sleep not allowed

[barren lily]

I definitely should

[hard ivy]

No sleep, only factory

[atomic notch]

Gotta make more bioburners

[barren lily]

I still have like 40 of them in my base

9h save vibes

[stark solar]

ionized fuel means less power, not more

[cursive crane]

#screenshots message
??

than what

[barren lily]

Wtf

250mw costs only 3m³

[hard ivy]

Unless you use augmenters

[hard ivy]

Now check how much it costs to make :)

[barren lily]

Allat

[cursive crane]

!wikisearch ionized fuel

[fossil ice]

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

[hard ivy]

You need a + between words
Instead of space

[cursive crane]

got me to it

[undone surge]

Use fluid buffers to help keep them from acting up.

[hard ivy]

Including the opportunity cost of not burning the rocket fuel it takes as an ingredient, it takes more power to make it than you get out of burning it. Unless you have several augmenters

[barren lily]

Well i see... So okay, I'll stick to Rocket fuel

[still ginkgo]

finally beat the game, now time for the achievments

[wise junco]

howdy yall

[dense mango]

not again bri

[stark solar]

Rocket fuel is awesome

[fair imp]

hi guys im considering purchasing satisfactory and i would love to know if it is as marvelous as most people say, because i have heard that this game tends to get tedious over some time

[dense mango]

as i was saying, i forgot how to sleep

[barren lily]

Am I stupid or satisfactory calculator is dumb

[cursive crane]

check steam reviews

[dense mango]

its peak

[stark solar]

kisiel: Have you enjoyed other factory games?

[wise junco]

hands down, seriously, the best game i've ever purchased

[hard ivy]

Correct. Use Satisfactory Tools instead

[fair imp]

okay thank you all for answers

i will prob buy it xd

[fair imp]

havent played

that is why im asking

[wise junco]

IMO, if you're a fan of idle games, this is an idle game on super crack

[barren lily]

I wanna calculate how much rocket fuel i can make if i have 3840 turbofuel but I have no idea how

[stark solar]

Not everyone likes factory games, and that'll be the biggest unknown for your purchase

[fair imp]

okay guess i will give it a shot

[barren lily]

Kisiel kupuj nie pierdol najwyżej raka dostaniesz od matematyki ale to tyle

[stark solar]

4str0: Consider the Nitro Rocket Fuel alt recipe

It doesn't use turbofuel; it makes it directly from fuel

[fair imp]

[fair imp]

okay sr

[hard ivy]

Should've known that the person with XD in their name is a Pole XD

[stark solar]

I think that's Polish

[fair imp]

Btw other question, how easy it is to find team to play with?

[barren lily]

Well I am and this nickname is already 5 years old😅

[wise junco]

that can be tougher

[barren lily]

It is

[atomic notch]

difficult

[fair imp]

damn

[stark solar]

4str0: It's a good game solo, really

[atomic notch]

u can make an lfg but youll just get a bunch of peeps who play like once

[barren lily]

I can't, it requires nitrogen and I havent unlocked it yet

[atomic notch]

and all the dedicated ones have stupid rules

[stark solar]

4str0: Ah, ok. I'd wait, but that's just me

[atomic notch]

hell is other people

did you forget the reply feature exists

[barren lily]

I have found

[wise junco]

i will say having a steady buddy or two to play with can be fun - you can divide and conquer projects, etc - but it has to be someone you really jive with because you'll be spending A LOT of hours together

[stark solar]

i just dont bother, let yall figure out who im talkin to lol

acting like an old man with a smartphone dosent make you cool if you coudnt tell

[stark solar]

[barren lily]

For me it just works like this - playing with one friend - something stupid happens - throwing random nuclear boom boom at him - building again

[atomic notch]

lots of old dude here

[dense mango]

kay

[atomic notch]

ive played a lot of multiplayer and ive had good groups but few and far between

[stark solar]

I've actually never tried the multiplayer function. curious if it works well

[dense mango]

multiplayer just messes with my flow and the factory ends up like shit

[atomic notch]

lots of people lack foresight

[dense mango]

i can control what happens when im in singleplayer

[ivory condor]

I heard in 1.1 MP is broken, but personally no idea

[dense mango]

communication is overrated

[stark solar]

I think the game tends to attract control freaks and control freaks often don't agree with each other ^_^

[ivory condor]

Alot of issues I have heard about MP with this game, still seems like something that needs more work

[spiral dew]

any tips for vertically tileable blueprints for assemblers?

[barren lily]

My friend needs to use vietnamise vpn to play with me but that's problem with steam we guess

[barren lily]

Make them work

Simple, just build separate factories

[dense mango]

no

we dont sleep here

[dense mango]

fine ill go rest then

[stark solar]

We don't need to be informed of your sleep plans

[dense mango]

I truly believe i have a live guys

[barren lily]

No you dont

[dense mango]

You guys dont

[atomic notch]

4300 hours sure dude

unless its all afk

[dense mango]

i played since early access

[hard ivy]

I couldn't leave my friend alone to build a factory because he'd always build at least one splitter/merger setup that didn't work and refused to use my balancer blueprints that'd save him a lot of time

[dense mango]

since upd 1

of early access

[spiral dew]

#screenshots message first draft of doing vertical tiling w/ conveyor floor holes...it seems to glitch out and have some artifacts tho

[dense mango]

back then tier 8 didnt exist

[hard ivy]

I did too and yet I only have 1700h (ok, maybe U2 I don't remember)

[dense mango]

most of my playtime is afk

overnight

[atomic notch]

thats another problem with multiplayers is that everyone has their build order and think thats the only viable build order

[dense mango]

so my factory finished project assembly

now im actually gonna go rest guys i gotta wake up on 9am for my job

[hard ivy]

Yeah, no, I don't do that. Longest afk is 1h to eat lunch.
Even then I usually turn the game off

[atomic notch]

comes down to what the other guys said, bunch of control freaks

[atomic notch]

j*b

Me too

Cyaaa guys

[urban root]

It's only 4pm (here)

[weary perch]

just discovered past me's actually clinically insane plans to irradiate basically the entire desert

i had been building up to an ENOURMOUS plutonium plant

and dear GOD did i get a lot of extra power to play with in order run it

[half scaffold]

Hey all! Picked up the game for my birthday at the end of May, LOVING IT!

Quick/Random question... For the portal storage, is there a limit to the number fo things I can upload directly from my inventory? ie, is there a cost to having a couple stacks of virtually everything if uploaded via inventory?

[stark solar]

No costs like that, no

By portal, I assume you mean Dimensional Depot

[half scaffold]

Yes, I couldn't rememver the name 🙂

[stark solar]

(there is an endgame facility called the portal it could be confused with)

[half scaffold]

I just unlocked the Dimensional Depot last night

[stark solar]

You get 1 stack of anything you can store, initially

and you can expand that limit to more than 1 stack with upgrades

[half scaffold]

Yup, I upgraded to two stacks and unlocked the ability to upload from my inventory.

[stark solar]

Great. Yeah, it's a very useful feature. Make the most of it

[half scaffold]

Now I'm trying to find more stones because I'm struggling to decide what to load via boxes or unlock another stack, or speed.

Speed isn't a huge concern for me right now though

[stark solar]

I usually max out speed, then max out size, then the rest is just for uploaders.

The faster speeds really improve quality of life

[half scaffold]

Yeah, but I'm a slow builder and still learning, so not a big deal for me at the moment

[stark solar]

The big change it makes to gameplay is you no longer need to go stock up if you want to build a factory somewhere

[half scaffold]

Yeah, I was realizing that as I was treking across the whole map to start an oil factory

I decided to focus on the depot for a bit, thought it would be worth the time investment 😄

[stark solar]

depot is absolutely worth the time investment

[half scaffold]

Another dumb question, are all the maps the same?

[stark solar]

There is only one map.

[half scaffold]

So even a hosted server has the same map?

[stark solar]

The 4 different starting positions just start you in different parts of the map

Yes. Hosted servers all share the same map (the changes to the map are obviously unique to the server, but they all start the same)

Meaning if you go grab a somersloop on one server it's not grabbed on all the other servers as well, for example.

But it's the same map, same terrain, same item and mob locations, etc

[half scaffold]

Hmmm, interesting. I'm suprised they don't have generated map options.

[atomic notch]

it would suck so bad dude

trus me

[stark solar]

They put a lot of effort to make this map awesome, and it still has some glitches here and there

Map gen is hard if you want quality

[atomic notch]

if you wnat theres a game called foundry thats got all that

[half scaffold]

I would think it would increase the replayability and encourage more servers

[hard ivy]

I'd say Minecraft pulled off map gen well, but it's probably easier when your voxels are 1m^3

[atomic notch]

its just more around science packs versus milstone

[stark solar]

Replayability is surprisingly good for Satisfactory.

and when they keep making it less and less impressive

[stark solar]

KYO: It's ok, but it has a lot of glitches that the Minecraft community just needs to be ok with, and it doesn't have the same kind of rare items and permanent ore location concerns

[atomic notch]

lots of peeps keep replaying the game over and over

[stark solar]

Syzzle: Making maps taller/deeper in Minecraft was a big win

[atomic notch]

workin on their build orders and whatnot

[half scaffold]

Just looked at Foundry. Interesting, but TOO big, I'll stick to a single planet 😄

[stark solar]

Still, Satisfactory needs to have sloops, spheres, HDs all be rare, satisfying to reach, and so on. It has permanent nodes, and you can't fix bad terrain. It's a different set of challenges.

If Coffestain managed to do mapgen well in some future update, I'd be happy, but I don't expect it anytime soon because of how hard a problem it is

[half scaffold]

Yeah, I can see that. I've watched videos where they normalize flow rates and stuff and my head about exploded. I'm just trying to get stuff to WORK 😛

[atomic notch]

yeah

[lost wagon]

they nerfed mountain range height, they nerfed ravines, everytime the game made some unique cool generation that wasn't intended instead of just making it intended because it was a good unintended generation, they just fix it to never happen again

[half scaffold]

I'm on my 3rd try with oil

[bright magnet]

all i want in the game is logic stuff like combinators and all that stuff

[atomic notch]

once you beat the game it still pulls you back in, like what if i did this differently yk

[lost wagon]

it's all about the factory design, you learn different ways of building things as you play

[half scaffold]

Got my FIRST truck running a route yesterday. Hauling coal to my main power plant

[bright magnet]

like Factorio is ... i have seen some bases that are over 2000h and still being played on

thats the beauty of a true sandbox

[half scaffold]

I think I just hit 500h on Factorio. I like this better though.

[bright magnet]

the map is your playground to do anything

[atomic notch]

yeah dude once i beat this world ima switch to foundry otherwise id just get stuck in the loop again

[north widget]

whats your guys favorite and least favoriite phase

[half scaffold]

I've got 90min before dinner, so I'm going to play a bit 🙂

[stark solar]

First landing is fun, and setting up oil power is fun

[atomic notch]

least is 1 fav is 5

[half scaffold]

ttyl!

[bright magnet]

but Factorio have some major mods that can extend the gameplay to 800h upwards easy ... dunno if Satisfactory has one but then Factorio doesnt push alot of memory like Satisfactory since its just 2D

[hard ivy]

Favourite is 3 least probably 1 or 2

[spiral dew]

definitely never playing satisfactory new game w/out hover pack again

[atomic notch]

factorio is based on science packs so its a lot easier to just add more

[ivory condor]

Also the base engine isn't optimized at all for voxels, modders got voxels to work with the game, but the optimization is so bad its basically unplayable

So if voxels could work for this game, it would require alot of work to make that actually viable gameplay wise

[atomic notch]

makin satisfactory harder like that is more complicated bc its based on milstones

complexity requires it to be small

[stark solar]

They don't need to do voxels to do mapgen

[lament niche]

?

The terrain gen is lightyears ahead of where it was at release

[lost wagon]

surely, because on release is the only parameter you can compare it

[stark solar]

I appreciated Caves and Cliffs, but I think Syzzle really appreciated the weird terrain that came from bugs

[lament niche]

and versus alpha, and versus beta, and versus 1.6, and versus 1.7.2, and versus 1.16, and versus 1.12...

Do I need to go on?

[lost wagon]

yes, keep going

[lament niche]

syzzle is a bad alpha gen enjoyer = confirmed

[stark solar]

I think Minecraft's terrain gen has gotten better over time, although it's not the kind of terraingen that could work for Satisfactory for many reasons

[lament niche]

^^

[round patrol]

Anyone knew how to change to directx 12? It says here directx11 deprecated forced, even though my system support directx12

[lament niche]

they even added leaf litter and new bushes recently...

Which while not as impressive as something like caves and cliffs, is still things we didn't have before which improves the terrain gen more imo

[dense mango]

1 2 buckle my shooz

yes i didnt rest because i forgor

wait a min

minecraft in satisfactory chat

[atomic notch]

man hes back

[lost wagon]

in the options there is a dropdown to change the renderer

[atomic notch]

its a launch command afaik

i just got mine set to vulkan

[lost wagon]

Options > Video > Graphics API

[atomic notch]

-dx12 or smth

[exotic bane]

Anyone else have an issue where when you dismantle a Dimensional Depot you dont get the mercer back?

[atomic notch]

prolly in the dismantle crate

[round patrol]

How do i do that?

[summer agate]

eyo my guys do yall smelten the ores at the node, right after mining, or at the factory?

[lost wagon]

do you have a dismantle chest somewhere?

[round patrol]

Can't cuz its forced

[atomic notch]

right click the game go to properties should be under launch options

for steam at least

epic idk

baldur would know

[round patrol]

Ohh then I'll just type the api there?

Thanks man

[atomic notch]

find out what the launch command is

[round patrol]

I jusy did and it works, thanks

[atomic notch]

👍

[summer agate]

hello

[atomic notch]

wherever i need to ig

doesnt really matter all that much

[quaint flax]

I need some advice

I'm 100 automated wiring off before finishing phase 2 of space elevator

what should i automate before going to next phase?

[atomic notch]

whatever you dont have automated

[tropic plover]

Depends on the outputs.
MK 1 Miners with level 1 belts, make ingots wherever, but as your output grows and your belts get faster, easier to smelt near the source as you will need to split the lines

[quaint flax]

I believe i dont need iron plates or rods anymore

[atomic notch]

lol

[tropic plover]

You will need then FOREVER!
And screws, tons of them

[quaint flax]

talking about stocking those materials

[atomic notch]

yeah just make everything

[quaint flax]

i guess i start with autmated wiring stator and motor

[atomic notch]

sure

[summer agate]

yeah im smelting them on the factory but logistics seems to get harder when i have to worry about smelters

[atomic notch]

yeah logistics gets harder

[hard ivy]

After steel, you don't need a single screw

[quaint flax]

really?

[atomic notch]

bros afraid of a screw

[summer agate]

i might move the factory to an cliff to have more space, its it any better than just building on the ground?

[hard ivy]

If you get the right recipes, yes

[quaint flax]

i mean less machines

[summer agate]

helping so much crusader ahh

[atomic notch]

more material sourced in

[summer agate]

an official server can not be that slow

[atomic notch]

bruh build wherever u want

[midnight mulch]

has your game also been buggy?

[summer agate]

buggy how

[midnight mulch]

like vram leaking

and being forced to dx11

even with -dx12 in property + chaning in engine.ini

[summer agate]

man im running it on integrated graphics i cannot afford to be looking at performance

[midnight mulch]

yeah my game just been weird all day went from very good graphics to dx11 and barley any gloom and other effects

[atomic notch]

maybe ask in #1038092680493801533

[midnight mulch]

game look staler then a loaf of bread

[summer agate]

just try reinstalling it idk

[atomic notch]

baldur would know

[midnight mulch]

whos baldur

[summer agate]

thats how helpful dis dude is

[atomic notch]

one of the guys ig

[midnight mulch]

im sure they are helpful just maybe not on hyper specfic stuff and for ur question just build whereever mate

[summer agate]

as helpful as you could thank you mate ily

[midnight mulch]

it does not really matter where you build as long as u get the amount of screws or whatever per minute and its enough for your current production line

[summer agate]

i was speaking space wise man but alr i got it

[midnight mulch]

space wise its better to build wherever because a conver belts are smaller then say an assembler

[atomic notch]

invest in verticality

or just pave the biome

who cares

[lost wagon]

first time I didn't wanna to build in the air because of how bad and unrealistic floating platforms looks like, but I am sure the second run I probably won't care for realism anymore lmao

[summer agate]

damn fr

[summer agate]

ill try it looks way cooler than same level belts

[summer agate]

like terraforming or sum?

[atomic notch]

foundations

[lost wagon]

there is no terraform, just put foundations everywhere to make it flat

[summer agate]

top floor boss of nonchalant

[summer agate]

how sad to be a guy who aprecciates combining nature and buildings in a game with ficsit

[lost wagon]

maybe one day they will add a foundation customization that makes it takes the look of the surface it's over

[midnight mulch]

mate just do whatever u want like u think like 99% of the ideas are bad. if u want optimization i suppose just smell and craft at ur mining and then use belts to get it over to an assembler and make a hub where all the items end up

[atomic notch]

workin on paving a biome rn actually

[midnight mulch]

i had the same plan till my graphics went to hell

[atomic notch]

just turn em down lol

[midnight mulch]

they are to down

[atomic notch]

yeah kinda sucks down here

[midnight mulch]

can u send me a ss of how ur game looks in dms?

[midnight mulch]

ah well i have a poor refrence photo of how mine used to look

[summer agate]

i didnt even said syzzle idea was bad gang 👴

[quaint flax]

are there any downsides of overcloacking

other than more energy usage

[midnight mulch]

no

[quaint flax]

they dont have time limit or something rightr?

[atomic notch]

can destabilize fluids to an extent

[summer agate]

need more storage 🙁

[midnight mulch]

how it kinda used to look

[quaint flax]

i still didn't solved storage problems

storage containers looks ass
