yeah idk man that looks better than my graphics
Finite shards until t9 mostly
ig but i am on pc
what else would you play on
ur on xbox no?
u got that x y and stuff
controller support was realeased in 1.1
ooh controller
wdym
can automate power shards
you can, but you shoujldn't need to
oh
the game gives you more than enough slugs
forget the name of the machine like quantum smth
quantum encoder
you just wanna put overclock in everything no?
ye
first time using it at 90h+
looks at kibs
Even if you don't sloop your slug conversions, you still probably have way way more slugs than you need to overclock everything
for a normal run at least
its not a tedious proccess to do anyways
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)
You could always do power shard production to make ionized fuel for power
ionized fuel for power is not a good idea.
I know, but its funny to make jokes about it
or I did math horribly wrong
im gonna do ionized fuel strictly bc everyone says its "not good" like well see whos not good buddy
Anyone have conveyor belt mk6 in their factory
Crusader: Sure, if you want to produce less power than you would with rocket fuel
i dont even got turbofuel onlocked tbh
I know Dark Ion is less, but is the machine cost of the Encoder really so high as to lose power?
ill prolly just underclock it so it uses less power
The cost of converting rocket fuel to ionized fuel indeed is higher than you get from the longer burn rate for ionized fuel
Good jetpack fuel?
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
i mean at a certain point in my play though i just made it anyway
with spare items and shit
Power shard production is killer for ionized fuel, makes it to expensive
boo hoo ig
But do it for power anyways, it could be a funny meme
my whole world is a funny meme rn
or just buy it from the shop ig
Go for FFRs and ionized fuel for highest power memes possible
its 8 tickets
ah
Actually, highest power is neither of those
yeah but then its not a meme
honestly i think i got used to my graphics and see the current one i have as bad
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
But would it have the highest memes, i doubt it
i suppose my game just forces me to be on dx11 api rn
even though ive got -dx12 in my steam property
Right now I usually stream on twitch when I'm playing. Hoping that doesn't hurt video performance
I like how you have practically no AA and everything is very jaggy
Hello, have any additional new about console release been announced
what a rx5500 does to a mf
No news on c onsole stuff. They're working on it though
It is a development priority right now, they've said
so its a known issue?
I think console is still planned for later this year
😔
oh
It's not an "issue", just something they're developing
😀
did not read fully
the game technically has no official console support, until its out later
I hope it’s soon lol
Unless steam deck counts as a console :)
last i heard i think was later this year, assuming console port goes well i think
It went from like Q1 to before 1.1 to Q3-Q4
console that doesnt suck
But I’m sure it’s for a reason
but i still have no idea how they'll tackle cross play problem between console and pc, if thats supported
Steam Decks don't suck.
nice profile picture man
thats what i mean
I will need to have a truck bringing coal to fuel the other trucks until I can craft other fuels
my guess is console cross play won't be supported or if it is, it'll be with real limitations
its a sandbox tho why limit
Think they said it wouldn’t infortunately
because system resources
Unfortunately*
oh yeah limited that way
pc has higher system resources than console and your stuck with the hardware limits you have with console and can only work within them
thought u meant gameplay wise for some reason
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
no, more building limits, because ram, processor/gpu limitations, etc
console will likely have to be more limited, to keep the game playable for console
I think most consoles won't need limit adjustments.
Maybe Nintendo will be an exception
You think console will be able to handle mega factory saves🤔
Hmmm maybe within the 30 fps for console right?
it's ok, console they only need to worry about maitaining 30fps :^)
I don't know if all PCs can handle the largest factories.
Yeah your right I just though about that, with as much optimization as the game has already for pc, that might actually be feasible for console now that i think about it
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?
considering most pretty good computers can't handle large 'megafactories' very well, probably not
counterpoint: you mother is a murloc and your father smells of pokeberries
Satisfactory is pretty well optimized until you're getting to @grave burrow levels of large factories
whos blandrew
also depends how you define 'handle'
I think the expectation is 30 fps for console?
Probably depends on the console; maybe the latest xbox or playstation does 60fps
I know for the longest time it was 30 fps generally, some exceptions had games running at 60 fps to
Slechtvolk: I think that's true
i think the ps5 can handle satisfactory pretty well
What’s the difference between a mega factor and a factory?
hear me out, my brother uses a 980 ti and runs high on 60 hps
I'm not a huge fps nut, but that seems a bit low even for me
We don't want to hear you out
mostly because 'expectation' means it could be lower easily
30 fps is considered unplayable to me imo
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
It's fine as long as its synced for tv refresh rate, its been 30 fps for the longest time, even the xbox 360 had many games running at 30 fps, granted that console certainly isnt modern anymore
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
Depends on how fast graphics hardware is advancing in consoles
yeah, yet another reason I haven't bothered with consoles for ages
plus most of the games I'm interested aren't console
mostly determined by amd's soc chips for console
ps5 for instance uses zen2 and rdna 2 for the soc
guys i am kinda new to this alien stuff but whats the input for the alien power augmentator for
!wikisearch power_augmentor
madness: Probably best ignore it, it makes things better, but at a crazy resource cost
Boosts the level of the alien power boost from 10% to 30%
Slechtvolk: Switch 2 doesn't use amd.
Hey, wondering if anyone else was experiencing random black screens on while playing satisfactory, or if its on my end?
Sciphon: Probably your end. But update your graphics drivers
oh handheld, right that uses nvidia soc instead
i wonder if nvidia might be moving more back towards making soc at some point for console, that could be interesting
Still, point taken - it really depends on SOC advances, and what SOC they pick.
except its 20%
for now it seems mostly limited to handhelds but that could change
wait
Okay, thanks for answering, I have watched and played plenty of horror games, thinking that my computer was going to jumpscare me.
Remember that recent Mac hardware is actually mostly a SOC
no it isnt-
The ARM-based macs use a SOC mentality, which is why none of them come with many options for RAM
consoles for the longest time have mostly been amd's deal, but as you say that can change and we might start seeing more nvidia soc for consoles in the future
?? It's 30% total boost.
Slechtvolk: Or other SOCs.
i forgor b
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
guys what if u could use depots for wireless conveyor belts
You can't automate pulling things from DD
i said whatt if
it would be too op
trains, trucks, and drones become useless?
Ah. That'd kinda be bad; it'd greatly diminish the degree to which logistics is important in the game
yea but what if distance = power requirement
or like some nerf to it like it needs time to transwer
Even within a factory, logistics is important - routing things
Your idea would lessen one of the core ideas of the game
There is a wireless transmitting mod on SMM
true
Question gents is there a way to make stackable pipeline supports diagonal on foundation?
rotation ?
unless you mean tilt them
you mean stackable conveyor poles? Not directly, I don't think
ah, yeah, same thing with stackable pipeline supports. They snap to 90 degrees
Ahh ok thanks cant rotate them past 90? shame my water supply line isgonna look weird now :<
so maybe temporarily deconstruct the foundation, build at your orientation, and put the foundation back down
I think you're onto something il try that
play around with pipe building settings (auto, noodle, auto2d, straight, curve...)
might find something that works
It will be a pain in the butt, unfortunately, if that works
Dachte's suggestion does work gonna be a bit of a pain but it looks semi good (Slightly clipping into the floor)
you have those already, they are called drones
980s were pretty good.
So was the 1060 and 1080
they said the ps5 pro is similar performance to a 2060
so i think it can run satisfactory quite well, not the megafactories tho
PS5... pro?!
uh huh
the PS5 came out like three years ago
uh huh
how does it already have a half-gen upgrade
and so is the ps7 and ps8
It'll be as fast as a 3060 😄
point?
that half gen is like 6 months ago or som
and? PS4 pro didn't come out till y5
November 7, 2024
idk man they decided to do it
i dont got contact with sony
lies
slander
BLASPHEMY
how is that blasphemy
nobody does
💀
i do
prove
its my word to gatekeep
heresy and blasphemy
you dont have bro
get your own word
anyway i gotta get to work on my 10 alien power augmentators
only 10?
theres only 106 in the world
106 somersloops and each augmentator need 10
i have 97 rn
gotta find those last few
like findin a needle in a haystack lol
bro does not know the way
anyways thoughts on the new rimmie world expansion where we go to space and stuff?
guys shoudnt they make the lookout tower height adjustable
Use satisfactory calculator
cheats
could do that, but i choose the hard way around here
Fair enough
guess the hard way is procrastinating on discord instead of acually finding them?
yeah
i just finished finding them dude
im literally in game rn 🥀
pls dont ping me
yay from 2000mw to 55,000+mw
only 2gw?
this is a new save dont judge me
o.0
im trying to 100% efficency factory
I have like 150gw-300gw before t7
get on that oil production lol
i hate fuel gens with a passion
why dude he just built 10 augmenters
skill diff
fuel gens are peak boring
and thats your opinion
same to you
nah, i state Only Facts
sure bud
btw guys if you didnt know if you touch the somersloop inside the APA it sends u to new mexico
Remember that you can mute people in Discord.
good reminder
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?
yeah
no, it needs to be connected to grid
Sure. Also remember that blueprints are good for instant power. You can even keep fuel i nthe blueprint
1 whole constructor
its produces 500mw
it augments power, not creates it
it creates some power and augments it
what happened to facts lmfao
nope
wiki disagrees
wrong sear-
idk ive used it that way so
No it generates 500mw
!wikisearch alien_power_augmentator
Alien Augmenters produce power whether they're on a grid or not
!wikisearch alien_augmenter
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
you can tell who reads the descriptor for the APA
kay
So they're actually pretty decent portable instant power if you prefer not to use blueprints.
stupid lmao
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
yes, just load it normally
my u3 saves somehow still load fine
since resource nodes have been changed
will they still function in my world or is my nuclear power plant cooked
I realized that I’m missing all the oil alternate recipes
(I was working on backup power before 1.0 but never finished it)
you'll just have to place new miners is all
well until then will they continue to work?
the ones on nodes will ye
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
EUROBEAT BEGINS BLASTING
GAS, GAS, GAS
I made a backup save so
I'm gonna have to re:zero routes until I figure out how to fix it
"I reset my world over 200 million times"
this is giving me so much nostalgia looking at it though its practically fossilized
the memories..................
load world in SCIM to check things without needing to reload a billion times
they could be cooked.
just disconnect your power plants
you could temporarily change game world rules, I think, which might help
I dont have enough to sustain power
oh thank god how does that work
that'll disable achieves
advanced game settings - cheats.
it nullifies all achievements though
not if you use mods
I don't care about achievements I just want to save my world
go to advanced game settings
ill post a picture real quick in design/architecture the nostalgia is crazy
just shut down your grid until you can reboot it. it'll be fine
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
how small is your factory? jfc
only 29 mw? thats what, 10-15 constructors and some smelters?
oh crap sorry I meant 29k mw LMAO
one APA allegedly outputs .5kmw plus boosts ur power production by 10%
you just need to reboot the power grid
and power storage can output a lot faster
I think some of my data is screwed some of my tiers regressed
just make a big block of them fed by a geothermal
though honestly if this is pre 1.0 I'd just recommend starting over.
Souls: It'll be ok. Just take it one step at a time
ehhh maybe
also question is the particle accelerator hypertube patched or na
no idea what you're talking about there
the cannon is still around
no iead what that is
oh you mean cannons? they break every update
im sure they still exist in SOME form
they mean the hypertube cannon
but yours are almost certain dead
wdym you don't know about the Neo Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong Cannon
thought they were talking about particle accelerator
my U3 cannons still work somehow.
I also don't use exploits
how are cannons exploits?
can you use the satisfactory map to move like
ya nodes and stuff to fix it
move miners to fix it, ye
not nodes iirc
mine worked just fine lmao
your pre 1.0 cannons work fine currently in 1.1? that's surprising
just wondering whens the next update?
they usually break every major update
maybe never
we dont know
that would be sad
shrug pay attention to #announcements all info will be there
ok how exactly do I edit this map
you'd have to ask in the SCIM discord
but at this poitn you might as well download mods that let you spawn nodes
i looked at the update history, and 1.1 was 6m after, 1.0, which was ~1y after upd 8, so my educated guess is 6 months to a year and a half
dont quote me tho
I'm gonna probably start a new file but 'm also gonna stop all progression in the old one to at least explore it
dam
maybe tack on another couple months bc of console
I wonder if console update will have any major content updates
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?
hi
mostly it's nothing that completely changes gameplay, but makes big changes (look at early access, gameplay remained mostly the same update to update, but things like trains, lifts and bp were added. (in my exp, ive only been playing since ~upd 6)
or 7, i forget
And gamepad support!
ok whoever made the heavy modular frame recipe at coffee stain studios, just so you know every ounce of my hatred, rage, and malice is directed towards you
How do I set directories in blueprints? I forgot
You need the alternate recipe
ALT:Heat fused frame OR ALT: plutonium fuel unit?
lemme pull out my 36 hard drives from the depot
build menu --> bp menu --> edit (its on the bottom)
if you played after the ychantged norther forests not a ton was changed. just a few node locations
and a bit of polish
Heavy encased frame recipe, substitutes screws for concrete. Also much better material yields
the screws arent the bad part
the screws are the easiest thing there imo
the modular frames
you seriously want me to give you 10 per minute
It needs half the modular frames too
hmm i could use bolted frame recipe
Just use the one I told you about it so much better
yes? gonna guess you're very new
not new, returning after a while
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?
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 🙏
as your head will explode
back in my save file, tier 8 wasnt even a thing ;-;
My new factory will use like 50/min for HFM
that would have been pre u4. Maybe alpha?
like pre update 3?
I was in update 3 and and almost 100% certain tier 8 existed
lemme check rq
I wasn't in u3 for long before u4 hit. but I could have sworn there wasn't a tier addition
that is not at all true
reddit is often wrong
Reddit sucks
!wikisearch update 8
you would have needed tier 8 for phase 4. And phase 4 has been around forever
the wiki says upd 4
yea
its upd 4
i checke
Patch 0.4.0.0:
Introduced Tier 8 and moved things around in previous tiers
hehe i dont remember, ive played since the initial release, still not as good as others here
I'm looking and u4 info... doesn't say new tiers. Does say new phase parts though
ah no. tier 8 yup
that makes sense. I was probably only in u3 for a couple months
wait guys does the last phase still give you the golden coffee mug
please tell me it does...
hey i live in texas 😄
I remember watching let’s game it out play the game like at the very beginning
It’s been 4 years since then
i aspire to be the chaos that he is
i watched petezahutt 6 years ago play 😄
YES THE GOLDEN COFFEE MUG STILL EXISTS YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
thoughts and prayers
i begged my parents for it
what for?
living in texas
oh
Employee of the planet cup?
yes
You get it when you finish the game right
the employee of the plant cu- ok thats too much of a mouthful i like gold cup more
after phase 5
Wdym? When you send off the phase 5 package or is it after you send off the phase 4 one and unlock phase 5
i want a real ficsit mug
they are/will sell those
there's the merch shop, but I've heard they are very cheaply made
oh 😦
yeah :\
i may just make a tumbler with satisfactory stuff. i already made a pokemon one
I'd get one but they are small and I've heard poor things about them
also just the general quality of stuff in there is poor for the price imo
ok i need blueprint designer mk 2
Huge missed opportunity tbh
theres 1 pixel of conveyor belt overlapping and it just wont let it slide
did this guy just say 100 heavy modular frames
while im making a blueprint to make heavy modular frames
i make the epoxy tumbler things from steel cups, i may just make one with satisfactory paraphanelia
Get it asap and make all the blueprints you need
You’ll be stuck for a while with the mk2 one
100 heavy modular frames for the milestone
soundsl ike a solid plan 🙂
and im still making the hmf factory
Yea that’s fine, just hand feed a manufacturer and sloop it
I was tempted by the golden one, but they only have it in small and can't be put in the microwave
bruh it cant be microwaved?
hi
my modular frames are running on life support i cant even hand feed it
im working on a more effective way of making modular frames in the blueprint
Get some alternate recipes for it
my hard drive is still scanning
anything can be microwaved if you are brave enough
or stupid enough
nice
Gonna need to belt over my iron over to the other side of the factory
guys should i get crystal computers?
For only like 100 of it
or basic iron ingot
Rescan
already did that once
personally i never found a use for crystal electronic alts but thats just me
its for when u got quartz
same dude the quartz purification is crazy
dude im gonna partially overlap some sense into this bp designer
ITS 1 PIXEL OF CONVEYOR BELT DUDE
the only thing quartz is needed for rn is oscillators but i seem to remember needing it later in game
not the golden one iirc
which makes sense, probably metal in the gold paint
Something I wish they add in the game is terrain editing
nah
never happen
gotta play like foundry for stuff like that
Yea know but the terrain is kind of annoying sometimes
Especially the grass that clips through foundations that can’t be removed
nudge it up
so does anyone else's game freeze when mass deleting stuff? the more i select the worse it is
Then it will be misaligned
Yea, lots of particle effects
There is probably a setting for it
i dont have any other issues except for mass dismantling
i mean i used to use a mod that let me place hundreds of foundations at once and i didnt have an issue. it started with 11
cool
1.1*
i dont have any problems like that
make your foundations thicker 🙂 part of the design process
first step of layout a foundation for a building is making sure it all lines up with your needs
have you done a fresh install since coming back?
well assuming your computer in general doesn't need a clean up I'd
a. Back up saves and blueprints
- uninstall the game, and the mod launcher
- manually delete all remaining folders of both (don't skip this step)
- full reinstall
i turned it back to high preset and im getting better fps
oh geez.. just for mass delete? 😦
just in case something is making it chug
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
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
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
I always build with 4m foundations
pleas help :(
You’re too fat
sure but if you're not paying enough attention you're left with some spots creeping above them. Gotta move all of it up
Put two on top of each other
it's not like i can't get up without it but i at least w ant it to workkk
mods? server? multiplayer?
no mods, not a server, it was multiplayer aaaaaaages ago just to show people around but not anymore
have you saved/reloaded yet?
oh good point
Holy power draw... Maxed out Nuclear Pasta draws 20gw o.o
don't sloop it. you'll be fine
Oh, this is purely for the phase 5 thing
sure but that's huge draw
once its done I may rebuild 90% of stuff slowly
Don’t sloop and overclock machines that need a lot of power
I have a 100k pre boost grid, I'm fiiiiiiiine
Yeah, max consumption is still below unboosted grid
huh, so apparently if you are wearing a hoverpack, it breaks the elevator
So much fuel being burnt out on the far west cost
loooool
amazing
Yeah dude my boosters also runnin everything lol
Small question, how Satisfactory can handle so much conveyor and machine system without major lags?
Rendering
I mean, the game lags quite a bit if yo udon't have a very good computer and build very large saves
Hm. Ok.
it helps making multiple hubs over the whiole map. Don't put it all in the same spot
What if I merge all the resources around the world into a gigantic factory?
you mean the exact opposite of 'making multiple hubs to make it run better' ?
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
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.)
Do it lol
you might not have a very good computer then
I think CPU temperature heavily depends from GPU.
the game is very cpu intensive
You mean your PC is overheating?
You need to repaste probably
Yeah dude my pc is a space heater rn
Can reach 80 degrees. In the hottest temperature.
Is it amd?
Well… I will clean the dust of my laptop.
Intel i7 10870H at 2.2 GHz.
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
Oh boy, just 200 nuclear pasta to go at a rate of about 6/min
You need to probably clean the fans and repaste (don’t do this unless you know what’s your doing)
that can help,
Wanted since a while but uhh…
30 minutes ain’t that bad lol
Scared to damage it.
anyone recall how much the game cost this last sale
take it to a proper computer store
It’s quite a lot if you can make 6.
Watch an ifixit guide or send it to a laptop technician
Hm. Ok.
Steamdb
idk what tht is
Google it
type it into google
that shouldn't strain things too bad
Idk what my pastas gonna be havent really checked resource limitations
I have particle accelerators and pression conversion cubes, but no copper powder.
Somewhere around 2-3 tho
Nuclear pasta is very tasty though.
Nuclear pasta is pretty easy if you start slooping
All my sloops in augmenters rn
Best way to make copper ingot? (Instead of standard way, maybe.)
Plus dude i should be fine usin leached copper
lots of ways. Copper alloy is nice
Well… being most resource efficient.
Leeched or pure copper ingot
Cause during all the time I just use copper ore and smelt it.
Ok
Pure is probably the easiest if you build near water
I will make a renovation to my facility then.
I mean, pure copper, but that's a pain in the ass.
copper alloy lets you convert iron to copper. and is very fast
Process the powder on site and train it over to the particle accelerators
how do i efficiently use 17 crude oil refineries using heavy oil residue recipe into blender and x amount of generators ?
I will unlock all alternate recipes.
Me who needs 20/min (9600 copper/min)
the same way as every other recipe step.
Well… leached copper ingot I do not think it is worth it.
break up the heavy oil residue into 1 or more groups
process it
break them into more groups
process it
feed to generators
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
I brought sulfur to my base just for leached copper lol
I rarely use alternate recipes.
Cool
hello everyone, im new to the game so pls answer some ignorant questions of mine
- i fell into the void, can my death crate be retrieved?
- what to do with somesloops and ive heard that using them 1 hog remain can be turned into 4 alien capsules. is this true?
But now I have to massively renovate the factory.
Why dose my nuclear plant use 4k uranium
Yes to both
yeah im using 14 blenders on alternate turbo blend fuel recipe but i don't understand why 5 of them are working while the others are just sitting idle wondering if new patch glitched something or if im just overlooking a mistake
so the crate will be in the void? how do i get it then
Now in my factory I mostly use standard ingredients.
You may need to build platforms down to some low land near the void, but it will be retrievable
May not even be that low.
alright thanks, how exactly can i convert 1 remain to 4 capsules using somersloop?
Me bring packaged water to my giant facility.
U gotta put a sloop in a constructor
With a single slooped constructor, convert a hog remain to the meat pasty thing, then put it back into the constructor and change the recipe to the DNA thing
Also… I use heavy turbo fuel > Rocket fuel.
It doubles both times
meat paste? i dont think ive unlocked/seen that before
ohhh alright
are the dna capsules good for points? right now im using copper sheets and wire and cable to turn into points
Is it bad that i use 75 recactorys jest for uranium i am starting on plutonium tomorrow
DNA capsules are excellent for points
U get like 1000 dna points iirc
If you keep double-slooping corpses you can easily unlock the entire shop with enemies alone
Might take a while for the golden nut lol
oh, right, true.
wow, what material should i use for points in early game? like most returns for production value in early-mid game
But all the stuf you need ya
I have it
Random: Focus on corpses. Only sink other stuff when you're at the oil stage or so.
You can find rare items on the ground they give lots of points
The corpse path to points is very rich
I am sinking 500k of empty canisters
Ok
got it thanks
I think I will change everything in my facility.
Do it
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
I will make ingots from water.
Do it
But I have no recipes from these.
i sink overflow of final production. If my storage crates fill i just sink it, because why not
Dylan: That is a fine strategy
Go look at scream shots i have a lovely factory
Just post the message link here
make a post in #1038092680493801533 with over head shots of the whole system.
basically impossible to trouble shoot w/o images and this is not a channel for it
looking at that hurt my head
Hahahhahahha
ok, FULL elevator system for The Monolith (my 588m monstrosity)
DO NOT ride with hoverpack
I like waching people lose it over my world its like i give them brain damage
Is there a way to disable those time-wasting "autosave explanation" and "epilepsy warning" screens when the game starts?
Nah i jest like my own stuffering
Dehve: Go find one of the issues people raised on the QA site and vote for it
So like you
As long as it works
Hahahahhah you really think it wworks i run on batterys not a power grid
and now to blueball ADA
That’s just the game loading
They would replace it with a different loading screen
not it is not, get the mod that disables it and you'll see
so its just plug and play or what
Yeah it didn't used to do that before 1.1. Just went to the menu screen directly, and almost immediately.
Oh, if there is a mod for it then why not use it
Because I'm not using mods
Cba setting them up and then keeping them maintained every time the game updates
I think its only supposed to give those warnings the first time you play, but it uses online stuff to tell if it is or isnt your first time
m🤮 ds
The battery is so big that it takes up 800000MWs
At least not until CSS adds official mod support via Steam Workshop to the game. Until then, mods are effectively just unsupported hacks.
sounds like ur compensating
Who me
ye
What you mean
big battery lol
nice
Yap my world of abomination
its not bad ive seen worse
eh
I am useing every single piece of coal on the map
cool
Its a mess
yeah same here, but mine works lol
You need to join mine but tomorrow
sure
Kk i added you now good night this sever of slaves to satisfactory
ill have a look around
Ok
enjoy the scenery
Night
man its been 3 days of sessions and im still building my fuel plant (like 10-12 hours)
into my 35h save lol
so... a third of my playtime on this save has been for this fuel gen
nice
Refineries and fuel gens, the inescapable machines
nuclear, avoid both 😛
or 15hr or 20hr in a day
thats not even a year
Ah, but making all the raw ingredients will still want refineries
nah, alloys work. can do all the uranium rods w/o refineries easily
you'll need a few for p rods, but not a lot I think
ive got like 1300 i think
HAHAHA MY PLUTONIUM PRODUCTION IS BACK ONLINE
I like the yields of the pure recipes and am being silly and using leeched caterium
totals to 330 (always rounding up and without overclocking)
idk people can go say touch grass but like imagine 4500 hours of touching grass, what a useless activity, you would probably develop allergies
ant bites , all terrible things
alloys have almost the same yields and ... god the output of copper alloy is so fast.
sun burn
In the words of Will Turner: THATS NOT GOOD ENOUGH
yeah yeah leeched is faster but... so much sulfur
gotta leach everything
if it was not hot outside ill play for longer
and I'd trade 1 foundry from a refinery any day
Oh, only Caterium gets Leeched
temmmpered 😛
idk morning/evening is usually pretty good in hot climates
Has the same yield as pure and both have miserable throughput
1 tempered foundry does 2x what a pure ref does and the coke is basically a nothing cost
rip
waiting for belts to saturate has to be the most anxiety enducing things ive ever experienced in this game
I cant tell if my factoriy is inefficent of if its just not saturated yet.. grah
per minute aye, but per ore they're the same ingot output and while I whine about it, I'd rather the higher yield
and while 1 coke per 3 ore really isn't that much oil... Water is still cheaper :P
Heh and it gets worse the higher up the manufactuing line to. It took HOURS for parts of my nuke plant to settle. Then any changes you made took hours more to take full effect.
CE speedhack if your lazy but cheating is bad
but apparently you don't hate refineries enough. Let the hate flow
im not lazy unfortunatley
classic aussie culture
Oh, yeah... Talk of hate reminds me of want to laugh at my stupid idea for a Ficsonium alt?
worst part is im not even happy with the factory ive built so ive got half a mind to tear it down and start again... curse me!
its also the ultimate violation of fiscit because your time ingame gets sped up as much, and your productivity goes into the ground
if it doesn't triple the power requirements it's not good enough 😛
idk is leaving the game on overnight cheating ? what do u think
i dont think so
just a waste of electricity for your bill
it's a sandbox. It's cheating if you think it is
though personally I'd just go exploring while wiating for parts. Lots of things to grab and gather. Like more recipes
that would make 24/7 servers mega cheating
should I rebuild the RIP plate factory I just made because im not happy with how unorganized it is....
sure
sustainably or "toss everything into a box until you hit 200?"
im cursed with wanting to rebuild factories man i hate it
bros afraid of a screw
screws are actually what are cursing me on this
my entire screw line has something very weird going on, it should be consuming 120 ingots and its being provided 120 ingots but they will not run as intended despite my best efforts
eh not been too hard
im going to rebuild this factory i think... ill just wait for it to fill up a storage container with reinforced plates first so ive got them for building
if u hate urself us the alts that use more screws
ive made a really good modular frame factory but i cannot for the life of me remember how i did it
it was on an old word from like 2 years ago
I find late game hard, I am on a new play through and want to start building out each items but I have no idea how much to plan for. What are the top items I need to add to the calculator to give me a plan?
i join back into that world just to admire it im in love with it
if its under 260 1 constructor will be fine
im not there yet
just put in your final end products and they'll produce a chain for you
havent even unlocked coal power yet...
i probably do need to do more exploration yeah
tbh its worth to grab as many as you can
Which are the finnal tear items, I have not been to Phase 9 yet with the new version,
ive kinda just been at my main factory area
ill probably get the research done for the xeno basher then get out there
you'll get there. 🙂 the main trick to later game items is not to worry too much about eficiency. Just smoosh the items you automate together and get there
after you're done with phase 5 make pretty clean factories
I know I enjoy exploring all of the floating rocks and bushes myself
you mean phase 5 or tier 5?
im staring at my milestone menu looking for a phase 5...
well i never use the third party stuf so exploration for me is still just scanners and radar tower
phase 5, just smoosh things together until the end. Learn how to do things
then start fresh factories to your own goals
its in like t3 or 4 i dont really rember
fuck that means I have to actually go to phase 1
theres one on the map
FUCK i need screws god DAMN it
Cobalt, I think it may be memory related, the problem doesnt seem as bad when i first start the game. I think its possible the memory leak go worse in 1.1
||also bladerunners||
possibly - keeping something like SCIM open at the same time is really rough as well
but in general a fresh game after old version and mods is a very good idea
scim? ive got multiple scims, two isntances of tools and another dozen chrome tabs.
yeah if you're worried about performance I'd highly recommend not having them oppened simultanesously
especially if you've loaded a save into one
absolute murder on resources
haha... they both have saves loaded
aparently chrome is using like 8 GB of ram...
how much ram you have ? chrome is pretty terrible for memory
sat is only using like 6, i still have some free
🫡
we have found (one) of your problems
guys, i don't think i want to use load balancers anymore
unironcally 10+ hours to make a big steel fac
i think i may have gone a little overboard in screws
i dont think I need 240 a minute
the challange
How much steel?
Manifolds for life
Steel Pipe: 30 items/min
Smart Plating: 6 items/min
Versatile Framework: 5 items/min
Modular Frame: 7.5 items/min
Steel Beam: 15 items/min
Encased Industrial Beam: 7.5 items/min
yeah, after this one i 'ont be doing load balancing anymore
Lol, why would you bother to balance this
my brain is soup
It’s not something critical like nuclear power
How hood is Iron Pipes alt recipe?
Also 10 hours for that is crazy, you need to start using blueprints
Depends on how much belting you can tolerate
i calculated the clock for every single building
after phase 3 i was unlocking mk 3 miners?
Phase 4
fine tuned systems are not blueprintable
i ate them, sorry
how do i get my lizzard doggo to stay still?
that's the neat part. You don't. Unless you throw it in a pen
wait what? yes they are? have a blueprint for 4 6 8 12 16 of constructor or smelter, refineries and packagers. makes everything easy
i have 5 in a pit rn
Depends how you like it
i just fusion them with a conveyor belt
I don't think that's accurate. You just have to plan them to be so
Hey greeny
remember me from yesterday? I just posted the thing I was having problems with. thanks for showing me the help channel
if you use the xeno zapper on them, they'll stay very still after that
umh i have a feeling that you are lying
oh okay just making sure
gotta zap the doggos then
trust me this will work
do i need a truck stop to refuel a tractor or can i just stuff fuel into it
man i cant tell if youre being ironic or not understanding what he said
thanks
i do my best
i have fallen to the curse and made a line of 240 screws per minute
totally un-needed i do not need that many screws
yes you do
Well
I don’t have the modular frame recipe I need to build my factory
Troublesome
I HAVE A TRACTOR
Its no trains but im already in love with it
you can do it by hand
Man I don’t wanna go hard drive hunting
think about your factory
can i tame any other animal besides lizzard doggos?
i like the flower birds they seem nicer
but you can pet the giant flying manta
HOW
you work for ficsit and they need a lot of things, so you maximize production and get rid of all anoying thing
jump on it press "e"
just build a huge tower right in their flight path and time it right
OK I'LL TRY THANKS
or get REALLY lucky with a hypertube cannon
or take a jetpack
I feel like
satisfactory and slime rancher are like on the same universe
plus both have the same mision
im going to sleep
goodnight everyone
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?!? 😭
have you tryed to prefill before starting the factory
yep
then recheck if you produce enough
but when I do the solids get too full somehow and dont make any residue, therefore I dont get fuel and power goes
its the plastic somehow
Maybe you dont have enough space in your containers
i have a overflow leading to sinks
what s your belt tier?
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
and im using the T.2 pipes with everything running at 600/min so idk why everything isnt smooth
depends if you need coal i guess, i usually delete mine
you upgraded t1 pipes to t2 or build them?
built with T2 from scratch
hmm recheck the ratios again
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
so you built it like before 1.0?
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
leave them in general
might be best to make a post in #1038092680493801533 you can post pictures and it'll be clearer to fix as it sounds like it isn't super simple
what pictures would i take of it lol
over head images of yoru set up, specific descriptions that are easily seen and referenced by people helping. Its very hard to trouble shoot things, especially pipes, in gen chat
😄
🍄

or maybe try to take some rest and come back tomorrow, i also get lost after playing for like 12 hours straight
oh yeah if you've been at ti that long take a break, then come back and post
I got steeled frame first try lol
Kinda depends where it is. My starter one is the coal nodes north of grassy, i plan to decomission it and incase it in glass once I start making ||diamonds||
Could just leave it or take it down for the space if I had a plan for the area but all depends on your plans
I kept mine because I’m too lazy to destroy them
Will probably convert one to a weapons factory later,
Modular factory or megafactory?
starting a new world
what starting place should i pick as a more experienced player?
Rocky desert probably
I think its either rocky desert or northern forest
alrighty
good ole northern forest
ill probably enable flying👀
running around is so boring
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
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
so? for most of the game your limit from miners is your belt speed
dune and rocky are much of a muchness early on, and by the time you're further along that's the time to spread out anyway
whats covered under the FICSIT employee health plan
that’s funny
How many alternate recipes are there
damn i forgot how tedious the early game is
Get the chainsaw it’ll save you a lot of time
just started a new game
https://youtu.be/7rE78zEdKy8?si=bn2WnITNdzIOKuk-
Snutt breaks it down pretty well here
i just grab alt recipes early
did they buff the crafting speed on the concrete?
it seems like it only takes 2 hits
i remember it took more than that
Always possible
But even so, you need so much of it that crafting it is a horrible idea lmao
Just hook up some constructors asap
Which material ends up (as generally as possible) in use more, steel pipes or steel beams?
I need to build a smart plating factory but im too stupid
I think its beans
thought so
Pipes if you use alternates
Encased industrial pipes is a good one
Beams for conveyors if you get stuck on mk 3/4 belts. But pipes after that with alternative recipes
im thinking ill probably just make a balanced amount...
You'll use a helluva lot less beams once you hit mk5 belts
i can make about 45 beams a minute and 40 pipes a minute comfortably
what do i use caterium for
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
