yeah idk man that looks better than my graphics

Finite shards until t9 mostly

atomic notch
#

what else would you play on

midnight mulch
#

ur on xbox no?

atomic notch
#

nah

#

its pc only

midnight mulch
#

u got that x y and stuff

atomic notch
#

controller support was realeased in 1.1

midnight mulch
#

ooh controller

quaint flax
atomic notch
#

can automate power shards

stark solar
#

you can, but you shoujldn't need to

quaint flax
#

oh

stark solar
#

the game gives you more than enough slugs

atomic notch
#

forget the name of the machine like quantum smth

stark solar
#

quantum encoder

midnight mulch
atomic notch
#

ye

quaint flax
#

first time using it at 90h+

atomic notch
stark solar
#

Even if you don't sloop your slug conversions, you still probably have way way more slugs than you need to overclock everything

atomic notch
#

for a normal run at least

midnight mulch
#

its not a tedious proccess to do anyways

undone yarrow
#

I guess future goal for next Ficmas: Make a giant ficmas factory that produces 2.5 stars per minute (just a hair over what one impure iron node making pure iron ingots can handle)

ivory condor
#

You could always do power shard production to make ionized fuel for powerhehe

stark solar
#

ionized fuel for power is not a good idea.

ivory condor
#

I know, but its funny to make jokes about ithehe

undone yarrow
atomic notch
#

im gonna do ionized fuel strictly bc everyone says its "not good" like well see whos not good buddy

tall vigil
#

Anyone have conveyor belt mk6 in their factory

stark solar
#

Crusader: Sure, if you want to produce less power than you would with rocket fuel

atomic notch
#

i dont even got turbofuel onlocked tbh

undone yarrow
#

I know Dark Ion is less, but is the machine cost of the Encoder really so high as to lose power?

atomic notch
#

ill prolly just underclock it so it uses less power

stark solar
#

The cost of converting rocket fuel to ionized fuel indeed is higher than you get from the longer burn rate for ionized fuel

midnight mulch
#

Good jetpack fuel?

stark solar
#

So, jetpack fuel is complex.
Liquid Biofuel gives you the longest burn per unit, but it has almost no upward boost.
Rocket Fuel gives you the best upward boost, but it doesn't burn long.
Ionized Fuel is kind of in between, but far too expensive to produce.

#

It really depends on what you want your jetpack to do

midnight mulch
#

i mean at a certain point in my play though i just made it anyway

#

with spare items and shit

ivory condor
#

Power shard production is killer for ionized fuel, makes it to expensive

atomic notch
#

boo hoo ig

ivory condor
#

But do it for power anyways, it could be a funny memehehe

atomic notch
#

my whole world is a funny meme rn

midnight mulch
#

or just buy it from the shop ig

ivory condor
#

Go for FFRs and ionized fuel for highest power memes possible

midnight mulch
#

its 8 tickets

midnight mulch
#

ah

hard ivy
atomic notch
#

yeah but then its not a meme

midnight mulch
#

went to dx11 to see if vram leakage was dx12 fault which i think it was and when changing back i couldnt go back to dx12

ivory condor
atomic notch
#

im using vulkan api so idk man

#

could be why

midnight mulch
#

i suppose my game just forces me to be on dx11 api rn

#

even though ive got -dx12 in my steam property

stark solar
#

Right now I usually stream on twitch when I'm playing. Hoping that doesn't hurt video performance

Hello, have any additional new about console release been announced

atomic notch
#

what a rx5500 does to a mf

stark solar
#

No news on c onsole stuff. They're working on it though

#

It is a development priority right now, they've said

midnight mulch
ivory condor
#

I think console is still planned for later this year

midnight mulch
#

oh

stark solar
#

It's not an "issue", just something they're developing

midnight mulch
#

did not read fully

ivory condor
#

the game technically has no official console support, until its out later

vestal canyon
#

I hope it’s soon lol

stark solar
#

Unless steam deck counts as a console :)

ivory condor
#

last i heard i think was later this year, assuming console port goes well i think

vestal canyon
#

It went from like Q1 to before 1.1 to Q3-Q4

atomic notch
vestal canyon
#

But I’m sure it’s for a reason

ivory condor
#

but i still have no idea how they'll tackle cross play problem between console and pc, if thats supported

stark solar
#

Steam Decks don't suck.

lost wagon
#

I will need to have a truck bringing coal to fuel the other trucks until I can craft other fuels

ivory condor
#

my guess is console cross play won't be supported or if it is, it'll be with real limitations

atomic notch
#

its a sandbox tho why limit

vestal canyon
ivory condor
vestal canyon
#

Unfortunately*

atomic notch
#

oh yeah limited that way

ivory condor
#

pc has higher system resources than console and your stuck with the hardware limits you have with console and can only work within them

atomic notch
#

thought u meant gameplay wise for some reason

stark solar
#

It's not usually about hardware limitations with cross-play, it's more that the consolve vendors are jerks and want to disallow cross-play

#

console, I mean

ivory condor
#

console will likely have to be more limited, to keep the game playable for console

stark solar
#

I think most consoles won't need limit adjustments.

#

Maybe Nintendo will be an exception

ivory condor
#

Hmmm maybe within the 30 fps for console right?

lost wagon
#

it's ok, console they only need to worry about maitaining 30fps :^)

stark solar
#

I don't know if all PCs can handle the largest factories.

ivory condor
lost wagon
#

if I edit the pause node in the truck station to like 5 minutes, I can make the truck only do a trip every 5 minutes, right?

dense violet
lament niche
dense mango
#

whos blandrew

dense violet
#

also depends how you define 'handle'

ivory condor
stark solar
#

Probably depends on the console; maybe the latest xbox or playstation does 60fps

ivory condor
#

I know for the longest time it was 30 fps generally, some exceptions had games running at 60 fps to

stark solar
#

Slechtvolk: I think that's true

dense mango
#

i think the ps5 can handle satisfactory pretty well

echo ice
#

What’s the difference between a mega factor and a factory?

dense mango
#

hear me out, my brother uses a 980 ti and runs high on 60 hps

dense violet
stark solar
#

We don't want to hear you out

dense violet
#

mostly because 'expectation' means it could be lower easily

dense mango
dense violet
#

eh, I have a decent rig but it'll dip down to 40 in my heavily built areas. I'd rather have better quality graphics and fewer frames

ivory condor
#

but its been 30 fps for a long time, but i think its gradually starting to move more towards 60 fps, but still with games only becoming more graphically demanding, hitting 60 fps on console is likely only going to become more difficult, meaning 30 fps remaining the general standard is likely going to remain mostly true

stark solar
#

Depends on how fast graphics hardware is advancing in consoles

dense violet
#

yeah, yet another reason I haven't bothered with consoles for ages

#

plus most of the games I'm interested aren't console

ivory condor
#

ps5 for instance uses zen2 and rdna 2 for the soc

dense mango
#

guys i am kinda new to this alien stuff but whats the input for the alien power augmentator for

dense violet
#

!wikisearch power_augmentor

fossil iceBOT
stark solar
#

madness: Probably best ignore it, it makes things better, but at a crazy resource cost

dense violet
#

praise the wiki, love the wiki

#

basically jsut fuel to dupe even more power

leaden ether
#

Boosts the level of the alien power boost from 10% to 30%

stark solar

Slechtvolk: Switch 2 doesn't use amd.

faint hemlock
#

Hey, wondering if anyone else was experiencing random black screens on while playing satisfactory, or if its on my end?

stark solar
#

Sciphon: Probably your end. But update your graphics drivers

ivory condor
#

i wonder if nvidia might be moving more back towards making soc at some point for console, that could be interesting

stark solar
#

Still, point taken - it really depends on SOC advances, and what SOC they pick.

dense mango
ivory condor
#

for now it seems mostly limited to handhelds but that could change

dense mango
#

wait

faint hemlock
#

Okay, thanks for answering, I have watched and played plenty of horror games, thinking that my computer was going to jumpscare me.

stark solar
#

Remember that recent Mac hardware is actually mostly a SOC

dense mango
#

no it isnt-

stark solar
#

The ARM-based macs use a SOC mentality, which is why none of them come with many options for RAM

ivory condor
leaden ether
stark solar
#

Slechtvolk: Or other SOCs.

dense mango
stark solar
#

It's not like Microsoft, Sony, or Nintendo lack the resources to design and manage fabbing of their own SOC. It's just a question of if they want to

dense mango
#

guys what if u could use depots for wireless conveyor belts

stark solar
#

You can't automate pulling things from DD

dense mango
#

i said whatt if

ivory condor
#

it would be too op

bitter lodge
#

trains, trucks, and drones become useless?

stark solar
#

Ah. That'd kinda be bad; it'd greatly diminish the degree to which logistics is important in the game

dense mango
#

yea but what if distance = power requirement

#

or like some nerf to it like it needs time to transwer

stark solar
#

Even within a factory, logistics is important - routing things

#

Your idea would lessen one of the core ideas of the game

faint hemlock
#

There is a wireless transmitting mod on SMM

dense mango
#

true

dry sparrow
#

Question gents is there a way to make stackable pipeline supports diagonal on foundation?

lusty pollen
#

unless you mean tilt them

stark solar
#

you mean stackable conveyor poles? Not directly, I don't think

#

ah, yeah, same thing with stackable pipeline supports. They snap to 90 degrees

dry sparrow
#

Ahh ok thanks cant rotate them past 90? shame my water supply line isgonna look weird now :<

stark solar
#

so maybe temporarily deconstruct the foundation, build at your orientation, and put the foundation back down

dry sparrow
#

I think you're onto something il try that

lusty pollen
#

play around with pipe building settings (auto, noodle, auto2d, straight, curve...)

#

might find something that works

stark solar
#

It will be a pain in the butt, unfortunately, if that works

dry sparrow
#

Dachte's suggestion does work gonna be a bit of a pain but it looks semi good (Slightly clipping into the floor)

cant you just keep the materials for a APA inside your inventory and if you ever come up to a crash site that needs power just use the APA?

yea it says 500

Alien Power Augmenters (APA) automatically generate 500 MW of power independently. Their contribution to existing base power production is as follows:

is what wiki says

lament niche

you can tell who reads the descriptor for the APA

So they're actually pretty decent portable instant power if you prefer not to use blueprints.

is there any way to recover an old (right before) 1.0 world or turn it creative mode

there's this world I spent incredibly long on and I want to restore it to working order

since resource nodes have been changed

will they still function in my world or is my nuclear power plant cooked

you'll just have to place new miners is all

glad harbor

well until then will they continue to work?

lament niche
#

the ones on nodes will ye

glad harbor

oh I mean as if I have some miners on nodes that have been changed or deleted will they still function

changed will output the new node resource, deleted wont work anymore

ill post a picture real quick in design/architecture the nostalgia is crazy

That'll give you as much time as you need

That works to

my max power consumption is...... 29mw I dont think anything is going to resonably reboot that but yeah thanks for telling me

It's under the pause menu, same menu you use to save or load the game

only 29 mw? thats what, 10-15 constructors and some smelters?

maybe tack on another couple months bc of console

I wonder if console update will have any major content updates

solemn glacier

prob not

they said the studio was busy with console, so my is guess is they wont have time for whatever is after 1.1

How much does the game change from update to update anyway?

Just use the one I told you about it so much better

typically people jsut freak out at HMF because it's the first even remotely complex thing in the game. But it's really just baseline

did you never get past hmf?

dense mango

i got past hmf in a past save file

but i finished everything that i could remotely do in the game

so i left for a while

then I'll keep you in my prayers when you revisit future tiers 🙏

i played in early access

not upd 3 thats for sure

I was in update 3 and and almost 100% certain tier 8 existed

lemme check rq

dense violet

I wasn't in u3 for long before u4 hit. but I could have sworn there wasn't a tier addition

dense mango

update 8 added tier 8

that is not at all true

well assuming your computer in general doesn't need a clean up I'd
a. Back up saves and blueprints

  1. uninstall the game, and the mod launcher
  2. manually delete all remaining folders of both (don't skip this step)
  3. full reinstall
west jackal

i turned it back to high preset and im getting better fps

especially if there were once mods installed. Sometimes things get left over even if you turn them off

#

gjfidsoghjsdfo why do my elevators only go halfway up then stop and turn around

west jackal
#

yea... i had mods... the world doesnt like that im not using mods anymore. all i ever had was zoop mod but i didnt like it

dense violet
#

yeah. Fresh reinstall.
easier than fresh OS and reformating. Which would be my next suggestion.

starting your OS hard drive completely fresh every couple of years can really help performance

Rendering

dense violet
mossy birch
#

Hm. Ok.

dense violet
#

it helps making multiple hubs over the whiole map. Don't put it all in the same spot

mossy birch
#

What if I merge all the resources around the world into a gigantic factory?

dense violet
mossy birch
#

Yep.

#

(Or kind of.)

dense violet
#

the opposite of what my suggestion does

#

that should be pretty clear

#

honestly if you process all the resources of the world in one spot your computer will just catch fire

mossy birch
#

One time when I was playing it when I wasn’t in the hub it starts overheating. (In the hub it can’t be that hot.)

dense violet
#

you might not have a very good computer then

mossy birch
#

I think CPU temperature heavily depends from GPU.

dense violet
#

the game is very cpu intensive

fathom shuttle
#

You need to repaste probably

atomic notch
#

Yeah dude my pc is a space heater rn

mossy birch
atomic notch
#

Is it amd?

mossy birch
#

Well… I will clean the dust of my laptop.

mossy birch
dense violet
#

if you weren't near your main factory and it was overheating you probably need to get it checked

and if it's moderately old, new paste could help. But the game is NOT laptop friendly

undone yarrow

Cause during all the time I just use copper ore and smelt it.

Well… leached copper ingot I do not think it is worth it.

dense violet

But pure copper ingot might be a good choice.

Use pure ingot, very good recipe

#

The leached still requires water but doesn't do much better then pure

Really, most of the time you sink things other than corpses you're just trying to get rid of stuff in a production line that you don't want or need and would like not to block the rest of the production

Hello there Maxeek

round gale
#

got a question bout my factory

#

i did all the calculations and the whole thing ends up being 100% efficient, and is self powered using that efficiency. However there is a lack of liquids or overflow of solids almost at all times no matter what I do, and so power keeps on cutting out due to backlogs. what do i do?!? 😭

quasi juniper
#

have you tryed to prefill before starting the factory

round gale
#

yep

quasi juniper
#

then recheck if you produce enough

round gale
#

but when I do the solids get too full somehow and dont make any residue, therefore I dont get fuel and power goes

quasi juniper
#

link it to a sink

#

the polymer resin

round gale
#

its the plastic somehow

ripe basin
#

Maybe you dont have enough space in your containers

round gale
#

360 plastic a minute running into 12 refineries

#

which consumes 360/min

round gale
quasi juniper
#

what s your belt tier?

round gale
#

Mk.4

#

480/min

west jackal
#

do you guys destroy coal power plants or leave them once you get to fuel/nuclear? i have a 60GW fuel gen but i dont need the coal right now so im curious

round gale
#

and im using the T.2 pipes with everything running at 600/min so idk why everything isnt smooth

round gale
quasi juniper
#

you upgraded t1 pipes to t2 or build them?

round gale
#

built with T2 from scratch

quasi juniper
#

hmm recheck the ratios again

round gale
#

I dont even have project asembly phase 3 done but i just build a mega rubber/plastic factory for like 720/min each, i prechecked every inch of the factory cause i plan on keeping it

#

wait, not that mega thought number was bigger lol

#

ill walk you through it, I havent played since pre release so mabye some stuff is new

#

Oil - plastic/rubber - recycled plastic/rubber - residue = fuel for power gens - spare oil node for fuel required for recycled rubber/plastic

#

resource sinks for any spare items that couldnt fit on primary belts... due to Mk.4 speed limit

quasi juniper
#

so you built it like before 1.0?

round gale
#

no

#

i started my save a day or 2 ago

#

but havent played the game in a long time

#

so I dont know if they changed stuff, or if there are bugs not letting my liquids flow at 600/min or what

#

my biggest issue is not enough residue even though i theoretically should be producing the perfect amount

#

i spent literaly all day on this factory but am thinking of tearing it all down becaues it just wont work

#

ive ran every calulation several times

rocky desert needs to rush to coal right?

might do that just because of the space and purity

#

oh wait no thats dune desert lmfao

dense violet
#

it's really not much different

#

there's coal on the edges of the rocket desert easy enough

the main differences are grassy plains is more spread out and open with nodes further apart, northern forest more cramped , nodes close, gotta build upwards

steel hollow

hmm most coals on rocky desert are not pure tho

but ill probably manage

When you are talking that small of an amount, doesn't matter much either way. Make a bunch of beams to get to mk5 belts asap. Will really only matter once you start using a lot more than that
