[ionic forge]

ohhhhh, i have a handful of ores from hand mining rocks

[cursive crane]

Bunch of stuff especially if you start using alt recipes

Frees up some iron/copper

[west jackal]

straight build mode is amazing but its very buggy... building a straight conveyor with it it angles slightly

[fathom shuttle]

Did you unlock mk4 belts or no?

[valid timber]

'that small of an amount' i think i just felt my heart stop

[west jackal]

and then the next segment... well... goes off at about a 10 degree angle

[valid timber]

i havent even unlocked the tier for steel yet im just planning ahead

first order of business in phase 1 for me is always coal power

[cursive crane]

For example im making a 7k iron ingot/m refinery line right now

My steel ingot usage will be somewhere in the 1000-1500 area. Still figuring out the exact numbers

[valid timber]

all this time ive been stressing over 60 ingot a minute belt

[ripe basin]

I have 40 industrial beans per minute

[valid timber]

ive never gotten to phase 2 before so i wonder how ill cope when it comes time to have huge productions like that

[cursive crane]

Speedrun to mk5 then start planning stuff. Everything before then is a waste on the order of magnitude of resources you will use later

[valid timber]

im tryna take my time lol

this is my first run where ive dedicated myself to actually reaching that final phase

i usually quit just after coal but im not gonna let myself this time, so im still very new to the idea of HUGE production lines

[cursive crane]

To be fair builds like this arent entirely necessary, i was making do with about 700 ingot/m before. Just time to upgrade so I can do whatever I want in the last phase

[ripe basin]

I also have 5 motors/minute

And 20 rotors/stators per minute

[fathom shuttle]

You don’t need a lot of items/min to finish the game

[valid timber]

yeah but just thinking of watching a giant bus of mk5 belts makes me WANT to maximise efficency

[fathom shuttle]

It’s all up to you to be honest, do what you enjoy most, if you like building big factories then do it. If you want to just finish the game and enjoy it lightly then small and efficient factories are the way to go

[cursive crane]

Poor poor soul thinking of buses for mk 5s.

I fill one mk 5 belt with one resource at a time 😂

[valid timber]

rule of cool man

[cursive crane]

Then i need more belts

Also

Shoutout to this 100hmf/m build
#screenshots message

[valid timber]

do it anyway even if it kills efficency\

[ripe basin]

Isnt it just modular frames?

[fathom shuttle]

Looks like a circuit board

[fathom shuttle]

It is lol

HMF would need to be 5x as big

[west jackal]

finally!

[cursive crane]

Ah maybe not. Im dissapointed now lol

[west jackal]

my power grid is comfortable untill i unlock nuclear :DDDD

[cursive crane]

How much?

[west jackal]

63 GW

50GW available

well a little over 50, about 52 GW

and im going to build a power sloop thingy

[ripe basin]

I have 2 of them

[fathom shuttle]

I really just tried to build a steel pipe set up to turn my steel pipes into pipes….

I got lost while calculating how much steel was going through my belts 💀 😭 😭

[west jackal]

god i hate pipes

i have a 600/min pipe, that even tells me its flow rate is 600/min but 5 of the refiniers just stopped getting the crude they need. now my grid is unstable

[minor rock]

if u fill a tank inbetween , watch it over an hour

[fathom shuttle]

I’m making 800/min rn and it seems I’ve perfectly balanced them

[west jackal]

huh?

watch it for what

[minor rock]

if its the throughput is actually 600/min, the level will be stable

if its not quite there, it will slowly drain and you will notice before problems

[west jackal]

i dont get how it would not be 600/min

[arctic swallow]

be sure there isn't any sloshing

[west jackal]

its crude from an extractor

sloshing?

[arctic swallow]

that is has diffrent flowrates

sometimes it 100/min sometimes 500/min

[west jackal]

yeah the flowrate is fluctuating, but i dont know why

[arctic swallow]

you want it to be stable

[west jackal]

how do i stabilize it?

does a pump fix that?

[arctic swallow]

check if you have buffers in series

[arctic swallow]

it can

depending on the issue

[west jackal]

buffers? i have no tanks

[minor rock]

can ur setup fit on a screenshot or two

[west jackal]

erm

no

i can show part of it

[arctic swallow]

does your pipe get feed from two diffrent sides?

it can cause sloshing

[arctic swallow]

#screenshots or #design-and-architecture

[west jackal]

i was feeding it from two sides, but i stopped it from doing this when the issue started, though it may need to balance out before i can tell if it fixed

https://discordapp.com/channels/370472939054956546/553550313533997057/1387324873843539968

[arctic swallow]

does the pipe go up after?

[west jackal]

yes at the ends

now it has 10 on each side

[arctic swallow]

pipe lower have higher piority of filling up

[west jackal]

the sloshing appears to have stopped

wait no. it was fixed

[arctic swallow]

so when the bottom pipe is empty the pipe higher wants it to give its fluid cauing sometimes sloshing

[dense violet]

well you're kinda bottom feeding your system there with the pipe going up like that. make a #1038092680493801533 and take some over head images in day time

[kind rose]

Hello

I have just scrapped tier 4 to completetion

[smoky forge]

nice

[arctic swallow]

congrats

[west jackal]

so i can fix it by the long pipe on top instead of bottom?

[kind rose]

How bad is 5?

[arctic swallow]

yeah

[dense violet]

it's fine

[west jackal]

but why are none of the other modules breaking

[arctic swallow]

fluids are just weird

[dense violet]

maybe. your images aren't great and there could be more going on. which is why making a dedicated threat is useful

[kind rose]

Should i actually get fused set up?

[dense violet]

sometimes you can make a system that is just stable enough to work, and sometimes that system can jsut have a small stutter and just nto get going

[dense violet]

fused?

[arctic swallow]

i would say that you should feed from side and then from the front connect a pipe to the end for best results

[arctic swallow]

fused frames

[kind rose]

Box after heavy

[dense violet]

oh you mean you finished phase 4, not tier 4

[arctic swallow]

@west jackal

[dense violet]

yes, always automate things

[kind rose]

Yes? My bad

How is phase 5?

[dense violet]

eh it's fine. you learn about dealing with waste water from bauxite

it's simple with One Neat Trick.

[west jackal]

okay

[arctic swallow]

just feed it back to the machine

[dense violet]

how you feed it back is important xD

[arctic swallow]

with pipes???? idk

[kind rose]

Yes my bauxite does jam every 30 minutes

[steel hollow]

sad

[arctic swallow]

if you need 120 water get back 30 water make the extractor extract 90 water

[steady cedar]

I never try to use loops
They just break eventually

[minor rock]

idk with fluids i like to make a big u shape and feed it from the middle

[kind rose]

It hasent jammed in a bit

[minor rock]

idk why it works but it does

[arctic swallow]

mine doesn't break

[fathom shuttle]

I figured out a way to make 600/min pipes work

[arctic swallow]

remember to use pumps

[kind rose]

Yes, a little too much.

[minor rock]

like this #screenshots red is existing , black is proposed

[arctic swallow]

you should use pumps only for hight and direction you want the fluid to go

[fathom shuttle]

If you raise the junction above the machine’s input you’re feeding then it will get rid of the slosh issue, tho I get 97% util on my last machine so it’s not 100% perfect but it’s good enough. Thanks for kyo for this tip

[kind rose]

I’ve got a barely functioning rocket fuel plant making 25k power

Need to actually use my oil

Probably make a massive rubber plant given how many things seem to need it

[green fiber]

If you want 100%, make sure the input pipe is on a junction that splits up 3 ways, not just 2

[dense violet]

there's an easy way around that. don't feed waste water into frseh

[steady cedar]

I do feel like we need upgraded fuel generators cuz the amount of them you need as you make better fuel is way to much even fully overclocked

[kind rose]

Where then does the waste water go?

[dense violet]

it already is almsot 2x as faast as pre 1.0. Incentive to go nuclear

[dense violet]

pinged you in other chat

[steady cedar]

Its just it would be nice to have that option

[dense violet]

yeah that's why they doubled it from u8 already and you have over clocking.

but 1 nuclear gen still equals 10 fuel

[arctic swallow]

is 4k casings/min and 6k sheets/min enought for the whole game?

[steady cedar]

I never made a nuke factory my self my friend did but each time he goes for so big of a scale that we finish everything else in the game before the factory finishes and we lose interest in playing until a new save

[fathom shuttle]

You need at least 4x that lol

You’d run out of aluminum by tier 7

[dense violet]

you can make a very big power plant with the base recipes and it's not that big a production. Gets pretty big if you use all the alts but is still very manageble considering it pumps out more than 600gw

[weary perch]

Wait I have a gf now and a life, am I still allowed to play satisfactory?

[arctic swallow]

then how i can get more??? there isn't any recipe that could make it bigger

[dense violet]

get her to play with you

[fathom shuttle]

I’m just joking lol, you’re making way too much

[kind rose]

If you don’t then they will.

[weary perch]

Somersloops in the fuel rod production

[arctic swallow]

huh

[kind rose]

Ionic fuel

[weary perch]

Oh no

[dense violet]

it's more than enough for just about any project yo ucare to do, dw.
though some recipes call for alum ingots

[kind rose]

For the evil

[arctic swallow]

ohhhh

[arctic swallow]

but what fuel rodss???

[weary perch]

That's how my plutonium plant works, I can make double the rods for 1x the cost

It's diabolical

[kind rose]

I just set up a spinny wheel for my slugs : (

[weary perch]

Tip

Set up a battery farm

It's worth it

[reef basin]

yeah batteries are great vehicle fuel

[weary perch]

My whole world can go eight hours with ZERO production (like when I accidentally knocked oy my entire power grid

[reef basin]

(also we don't have farming in Satisfactory)

[weary perch]

No no the building

To store power

[kind rose]

I’m tempted and fearful of drones

[reef basin]

the building that is not called "battery"? 😛

[arctic swallow]

where is a good place for a factory that will use all 12300 bauxite?

[weary perch]

Power accumulator

[weary perch]

Red forest

[reef basin]

near water

[weary perch]

Bauxite lives there

[kind rose]

Probably the south eastern swamp

[minor rock]

just pipe it from the nearby water wells :p

[reef basin]

that counts as "near water"

[arctic swallow]

but then i won't have space for nucreal reactors

[weary perch]

My entire power grid relies on one train delivering all the stuff I need to my fuel rod plant, which is scary to me

[dense violet]

got fuel? they are very easy

essentially a teleporter

[minor rock]

its fun to build into the sky

[kind rose]

I’m worried I’ll forget to fuel them

And 100 mws

[arctic swallow]

ohh wait there is south west ocean

[dense violet]

automate the fuel, you'll never forget

[weary perch]

ONE trainwreck and my world is on its knees, or would be without the power storage

[arctic swallow]

that could pump water for the reactors

[dense violet]

it's why I don't like having my power system reliant on other systems xD

[kind rose]

This requires me to either get more buxite or properly set up turbo fuel

[arctic swallow]

thats why i use train signals :D

[weary perch]

laughs in ability to run on backup power for up to 9 hrs without a drop of fuel being burnt

[minor rock]

i axed this part of my base but heres how i got water to the red forest #screenshots

[arctic swallow]

does it take a lot of ingots?

[weary perch]

I had to rebuild my entire fuel rod plant once

The train arrived backwards and ruined everything

[kind rose]

Is nueclear worth it?

[weary perch]

Yes

Is a pain but oh my god so much power

[kind rose]

I feel like I could probably get away with rocket fuel plants for my energy need

[arctic swallow]

just don't process it more then platinium pallets that you will sink

[weary perch]

8 nukes making 50gw ish

[dense violet]

depends. The one that comes to midn is Heat Fused Frames. Saves on Alum but costs abit of fuel

[weary perch]

why do yall run any fuel generators??

[dense violet]

but it's prett yeasy to just unhook some ingots from one place and ship them elsehwer

[weary perch]

I have none except to burn off waste

I don't get it

[dense violet]

get what?

[weary perch]

I'm 90% nuclear, why burn fuel

[arctic swallow]

2/3k be enough?

[weary perch]

It's easy and powerful

[kind rose]

I was struggling to maintain my 6k power so I expanded to 25k power with fuel

[weary perch]

...megawatts?

[kind rose]

Yes

[weary perch]

Dude that's like three nuke plants

😭 girl just put nukes

Why is everyone running fuel

[kind rose]

But I don’t have a place for it

[weary perch]

Desert

All my power gen takes place in the desert, I train in all the raw materials

[kind rose]

It’s the next energy producer after coal

[weary perch]

My blue crater steel, red forest uranium, grassy area iron and caterium, and everything else is mined on site

[arctic swallow]

i plan to have about 2k fuel gens of rocket fuel

[weary perch]

Yeah but megafactories run it

[weary perch]

See?

How many gw is that?

[arctic swallow]

606 000 power idk how much it is in gw

[weary perch]

606 gigawatts... of fuel...

You scare me

[arctic swallow]

yeah....?

[weary perch]

How do you even use all that

[kind rose]

6000 drones

[weary perch]

Oh true

[arctic swallow]

bro i get it from my refinery that has mainly used for plastic and rubber

[weary perch]

I mean as a waste product I do burn it

Just run all nuclear tho

It's easier as you scale up

[arctic swallow]

and i just though that if i make fuel why not turn in into rocket fuel

[weary perch]

That's fair

[dense violet]

or you could jsut have 200 nuclear gens

[kind rose]

Sulfur

[weary perch]

I thought you made it for power exclusively

[arctic swallow]

also what purpose does dark ionised fuel have?

[weary perch]

That's what I'm saying

[kind rose]

Saving the day?

[arctic swallow]

it is so shit

rocket fuel is better

[kind rose]

Fly height

[weary perch]

I have eight barely at capacity nukes and they more than meet my power demands

[arctic swallow]

ohhh

[fathom shuttle]

Modular frames done

[weary perch]

Bravo

[dense violet]

another step you can do and use dark mater rather than power shards

[weary perch]

And condolences

[kind rose]

I feel like a 40k orc when I look at screenshots or math

[weary perch]

What

Is mod?

[fathom shuttle]

I’ll take a break then start working on the concrete train, once that is done I’ll build the encased industrial pipes line then the HFM

Then I’ll have 20/min HFM pumping

[dense violet]

ionized fuel is a fuel past rocket fuel

dark ion fuel is an alt recipe of it

[weary perch]

Ohhh

Fancy

[kind rose]

That is interesting

[dense violet]

It's good for jet packs

[kind rose]

Does it drop friend murder?

[dense violet]

but honestly even rocket fuel is very silly to burn for power

[fathom shuttle]

Diluted packaged fuel FTW

[weary perch]

I agree

Just make rod of uranium

Sick in bucket of water

[dense violet]

you can do the whole game on diluted fuel if you really want xD

probably just need to be a bit more modest on what you're goals are

[weary perch]

I will literally bow down to you if you did that

That sounds awful

[arctic swallow]

what recepies gives the best uranium fuel rods

[dense violet]

nah, I did that for phase 4 pre 1.0

not hard, 60gw of power

[weary perch]

Yeah I meant in modern times

I say that like I haven't been playing six years

[fathom shuttle]

Yea def, do 2 pure nodes of it and you’ll have 40GW, if you stay conservative with overclocking and don’t spam particle accelerators you can finish the game pretty easily

[dense violet]

even then keep the final output low and you could do it pretty simply

[weary perch]

[dense violet]

yeah don't sloop the particle accelerators and you're ridding high

[weary perch]

... what does that do?

[fathom shuttle]

1/min nuclear pasta will carry you until you finish phase 5 even

[weary perch]

Use a terawatt?

[dense violet]

I think it's x4 power?
a fully overclocked and sharded PA takes 20gw power

at it's peak usage

[fathom shuttle]

Way more I think

No it’s 14GW average

[dense violet]

no pretty sure it's 20gw

[weary perch]

I could handle two of those easy

[kind rose]

This reminds me

I haven’t moved the space elevator since placing it

[weary perch]

My power grid has 50gw max cons but it never goes above 18gw

[fathom shuttle]

If you overclock a quantum encoder and sloop it it can draw 53GW alone lol

[kind rose]

I feel like I should but am unsure what happens if I touch it

[weary perch]

Nothing bad happens

[dense violet]

orly? hillarious. Never actually paid attention to how much they use xD

[weary perch]

I've moved it before

[fathom shuttle]

Yea, gives you 25/min powershards so that’s nice

[kind rose]

Cool, I will now be dropping a vast majority of my starting location

[weary perch]

WHAT

You can make them?

[kind rose]

Yes?

[fathom shuttle]

Yes in late game

[weary perch]

Like manufacturing?

[kind rose]

It says so in the tech tree

[weary perch]

[kind rose]

Under power shards

[weary perch]

I've been manually collecting them even now

Hours of work for no reason

[kind rose]

Have you at least been slooping the crafting?

[weary perch]

What the fuck why didn't I think to check ;-;

[fathom shuttle]

You need to be tier 9 to automate get them

[weary perch]

I crafted all my shards BY HAND

[kind rose]

…

[fathom shuttle]

You can sloop them in a constructor

[kind rose]

So much bloodshed

[weary perch]

I gather BY HAND and craft BY HAND

[kind rose]

All the slugs…

[weary perch]

I've easily made 600

Jesus christ

[elder apex]

just wash your HANDS afterwards, those are slugs after all.

[kind rose]

Why tf do you need that many?

[weary perch]

You have no idea how close my factory is run to its limit

I don't actually have the infrastructure to make like 1/10th of what I do

[fathom shuttle]

Overclocking is pretty fun

[kind rose]

My factory needs to half break in order to function

[kind rose]

The slugs : (

[weary perch]

Mine is running at like 15% power

It scares me

[boreal musk]

my fuel plant alone needs 1.5k powershards, 600 is cute number

[fathom shuttle]

I overclock most of my machines just to match ratios and build less building

[weary perch]

What is waiting to just ACTIVATE and draw the other 30gw :(

[kind rose]

I normally don’t use that many shards

[weary perch]

One day I'm gonna take something out of a crate and Set my entire world into motion

[kind rose]

I’ve crafted maybe 200 through constructor

[weary perch]

I fear that day

[boreal musk]

theres 5k powershards worth of slug in the entire map if you sloop them

[kind rose]

And my slugs live on my carnival

[fathom shuttle]

Yea easily can carry you through to tier 9 when you can make them

[weary perch]

I have not slooped any

[kind rose]

I for some reason like the creatures

I should make a zoo

[weary perch]

Jesus christ on a stick lathered in misery sauce I have my work cut out for me tomorrow

So so many updates I'll make to everything

[kind rose]

Anyway, phase 5, not too scary?

[weary perch]

Phase 5 never

I'll never do it

[fathom shuttle]

It’s pretty simple from what I’ve seen

[weary perch]

Or whichever is the last stage

[fathom shuttle]

You’ll need a lot of coal though

[weary perch]

I've done all but the last one

I have an admission

[kind rose]

Is that what all those nodes are for?

[weary perch]

...I make like a gigawatt from just coal

[fathom shuttle]

I guess, some recipes for diamonds can take 1200/min+ coal

[weary perch]

It's just rocks and water, i hasn't no use for my millions of coal i have stockpiled

[kind rose]

Oh diamonds are coal based

Interesting

[weary perch]

Yes I stockpile everything I manufacture

[dense violet]

there are alts that change that.

[weary perch]

I'm go bed

[kind rose]

I must collect every hard drive on the map.

[dense violet]

it's very useful 🙂

[fathom shuttle]

One takes oil right?

Seems kinda free ngl

[west jackal]

the power plant has finally fully stabilized. all 60 GW are operational thanks to Cos and Cobalt

[dense violet]

it's pretty good. I like the crystal one. No PAs involved

[smoky forge]

i have never thought of slooping them o my lord

[kind rose]

I feel like the second I try to start -

[kind rose]

HOW MANY OF YOU ARE THERE?

The slugs

They were just sitting there

[smoky forge]

im deading

how did i never think of that

[fathom shuttle]

PA?

[dense violet]

particle accelerator

it uses converters instead

only recipe that does that

[fathom shuttle]

Oh yea, more power savings

[dense violet]

aactually with the output it costs more xD

[kind rose]

Hi

[dense violet]

but I hate PAs

[fathom shuttle]

But particle accelerators are so cool

[dense violet]

hate

[west jackal]

do you hate bc they have non static power draw?

[fathom shuttle]

Why? Lol

[kind rose]

Can I get away with stalling any of phase 5 for like an extra hundred hours?

[west jackal]

i think they look quite cool

[dense violet]

they are so frigging huge

and I'm not a huge fan of the looks. The looks are... ok?

I hate refineries more, but only because yo uneed so many of them

[fathom shuttle]

If you’re not planning to build a mega factory then yea

[kind rose]

I have 1 railroad with 3 stops and 1 drone total

[west jackal]

also cobalt, i found out why i wasnt having issues with the other side. i didnt have enough canisters so there wasnt enough fuel being produced

(easy fix)

[dense violet]

ahh ok, in the future it's often simpler if you do the packaging system 1:1:1, packager, refinery, unpackager.

manifolding the containers can be a bit weird

[fathom shuttle]

The nice thing about them you can put them in a room to make them look pretty, since you don’t need a lot of belts and the volume of output is really small

[dense violet]

easy to BP too

[west jackal]

yeah but that would cost a lot extra resources, although you have a point about bps

[dense violet]

yeah look, they could be cool if you embeded them into stuff, then you have a glowing circle... but I end up needing a lot and it's a nnoying

[dense violet]

only extra at the start 🙂

[west jackal]

its working fine now, and the manifold for items is good, i just didnt put enough canisters in the crate

[dense violet]

and maybe not even then? I think 1 stack of containers per system would work ok

[west jackal]

er

[dense violet]

bit of a non issue in any case. The solution to solve the Manifold version is to have a container of empties before the packagers, make sure it's constantly flooded

[fathom shuttle]

Problem with containers is that they stack 100, like why??

[kind rose]

This is giving me ideas

[west jackal]

i put 2 rows in a crate and it ran out since its manifold

[west jackal]

yes

this is what i have, but im very tired and forgot to give it 24 stacks, only gave it like 14

[dense violet]

@kind rose example of a bped loop.

you could stack the packagers to save space though #design-and-architecture message

oh , like this one #math-and-meta message

I like this one

[west jackal]

that is cool

[dense violet]

poor man's blender

[west jackal]

mine is not a poor mans blender lol

although if i had thought of that before building this i probably wouldve made something similiar

[dense violet]

it's a very convenient set up with BPs.

[west jackal]

cant wait for t7 and blenders... can finally switch to normal diluted fuel!

[dense violet]

probably a little more awkward w/o them though

[reef basin]

I'd say that if you build DPF setup, switching to DF is kinda pointless, the gain is minimal and you spend a lot of time rebuilding

[fathom shuttle]

What’s the highest points/min you guys ever got

[reef basin]

given that the ingame display caps at max int32, can't really compare that 😉

[ionic forge]

are foundries as broken as factorio foundries or do they only make steel

[reef basin]

wdym "broken"

[ionic forge]

factorio base foundries have 4x crafting speed and 50% productivity to making metals, are foundries just as broken in satisfactory or do they just make advanced metals

[reef basin]

I mean... it's a completely different game 😉

[ionic forge]

im going to strangle you

[boreal musk]

why even comparing it?

[reef basin]

we don't have recipes that can be made in multiple machines

[ionic forge]

so foundries just make advanced metals

like steel

[reef basin]

foundries make recipes that are made in foundry

[boreal musk]

foundry has 2 inputs, they made items that require 2 inputs that smelter cant

as simple as that

[ionic forge]

so basically a smelter assembler

[boreal musk]

for example, normal iron ingot made in smelter, but theres some alt that can gives your more ingot per yield, which need extra input

some of them are made in foundry, some of them are in refinery

[fathom shuttle]

W recipe btw

Needs a lot less coal

[clear aspen]

Where

[kind rose]

My factory requires its own disfuctuon in order to function

[ionic forge]

hmmm, 120 RIP/M

[kind rose]

Quite

[ripe basin]

RIP?

[fathom shuttle]

Reinforced iron plates

[leaden turret]

some people get stupidly high ones https://communityhighlights.satisfactory.video/meta-search/?q="awesome sink" AND "user interface"

[fathom shuttle]

Not sure what items need that much tbh

[ionic forge]

My belts

I need more RIPs for more belts to make more RIPs

[fathom shuttle]

Are you just starting out?

[ionic forge]

Yes

[spare talon]

Is there a way to auto craft without holding my mouse down?

[ripe basin]

Tap space

[spare talon]

You’re a hero ❤️‍🩹

[dense violet]

try to automate things asap, you'll save your self a bunch of pain

[spare talon]

Got it 👍

[dense violet]

oh and turn biomass fuel into solid biomass fuel as soon as you get the recipe. much more fuel efficient

[arctic swallow]

speedrun coal power

[spare talon]

Thank you 👍

[cyan garden]

If i break my hub and my elevatir to moove them does that will release all upgrades ?

[dense violet]

nope

you can move hubs and mams all you like

and the space elevator

[cyan garden]

Ty

[south sinew]

except for having to get the biomass to fuel the damn things, which pays back most of the pain you save by automating

[dense violet]

nah, sprint and punch plants for like 8 minutes. Get about 10,000 leaves, turn it to solid bio fuel. Will probably get you to coal

[polar flame]

have any of you guys used satisfactory fandom website for tips and just to read ?

[hard ivy]

yes, when it was up-to-date. like 2 years ago

[polar flame]

figures LOOOL i was looking at stage 6 for tutorial on fuel power and it says 148 generators can be fueled by 14 ish blenders

[south sinew]

yeah the annoying thing is that searching for stuff in google often still gives the fandom wiki

[polar flame]

did they nerf alot of that ? id assume 148 generators produced alot of power lol

[tall vigil]

I imagine Ficsite being light as aluminum but strong as steel

[hard ivy]

they actually buffed fuel gens so you need fewer of them to get the same power

[arctic swallow]

every generator give the same amount of energy but consumes more or less fuel depending on the type of fuel

[polar flame]

damn

[dense violet]

you still need the same amount of fuel though. the yjust consume and produce more

[polar flame]

can i show pics here or not allowed ?

[dense violet]

screenshots channel

if you're actually trying to figure things out though pick the right channel and talk/post about it in there

[boreal musk]

before 1.0 it was 12/min fuel and 150MW for each gen

now they consume 20/min and each gen produce 250MW

[polar flame]

i see cool

[arctic swallow]

just say that the generators are better by 66.67%

its for just power

fuel efficency is the same

[green fiber]

they are just faster now basically

Burn fuel faster = more energy produced

free overclocking in a way

[grave burrow]

👋 me 🙂

[sharp rivet]

i almost won

[fathom shuttle]

So my freight stations are lifting the entire thing up and loading it into my train cars. It’s supposed to open up a sliding door and pick up a container but nope it’s lifting the entire thing up for me

[restive drum]

umm how to unlock the hypertube? I have reached t4 and I only have hypertube floor hole and ceiling mount on transportation

[hard ivy]

It's a milestone

[hard ivy]

I think the animation depends on how much you're loading

[restive drum]

oh I just seen it now

thank you

[arctic swallow]

i hate fluids

[mortal ginkgo]

but they love you

[arctic swallow]

the pipe should always have 600/min flowrate but it just changes nonstop without any reason

[leaden turret]

you are 60% fluid

[arctic swallow]

not 70%?

[mortal ginkgo]

sloshing to be like that

[fallen violet]

yo, im at midgame, made a giant coal powerplant on the open sea but its just not meeting up the energy demands, whats the best move here? i heard turbofuel burning is good, but whats the best lazyness to energy ratio here?

[arctic swallow]

it can't be sloshing

[dense violet]

if it has junctions it can

[mortal ginkgo]

Oil and fuel gens

[arctic swallow]

no junctions

no thing

[dense violet]

show some overhead images of what your'e doing in #math-and-meta

[arctic swallow]

straint from node to buffer

[fallen violet]

without refining? just oil? any alt recipes?

[arctic swallow]

needs only one pump

[dense violet]

oh a buffer. that's worse

still images of what you're trying to do

[mortal ginkgo]

even without junctions it can, thats how I could not feed 2 coal plants at the each end due to very long pipes.

had to put pumps (early game, no valves) to prevent sloshing and it magically worked

[dense violet]

that would be a headlift issue most likely

[mortal ginkgo]

I am not experienced enough to give correct info but it all starts with at least burning fuel in fuel gens, then go for turbofuel

[mortal ginkgo]

wouldnt explain other 6 coals working fine, it was alas, sloshing

[fallen violet]

i mean i can go for turbofuel directly

it just requires some sulfur and coal

[dense violet]

I'd have to see the set up to comment really, but if you were feeding 1 water extractor to 1 coal gen, it'd be a headlift issue.
if you were doing 6 others you probably had enough pumps on it or you had an edge case on how high things were pumping

[mortal ginkgo]

sure but you need to support buildings that ask for power to make turbofuel. but if you can support it why not. I will be going for turbo fuel myself too.

[hard ivy]

Nah, turbofuel is only worth it if you specifically need the oil efficiency. In all other aspects, it's as good or worse than fuel. So if you can find sulfur and coal near oil, it doesn't really matter, but if you're gonna have to move them to the oil, fuel is probably less effort

[mortal ginkgo]

nope, 2 pipes feeding into the pipe manifold, 3 water bois with one being 50%, 8 coals exactly in same place.

I studied pipes manual so I knew what I was doing. I just had to put pumps and magically 2 other coal plants got it

[fallen violet]

a lot of people also recommended alt recipe diluted fuel

[hard ivy]

That's the best fuel recipe

[fallen violet]

oh wait that requires a blender

[mortal ginkgo]

its free fuel

[fallen violet]

not there yet

[mortal ginkgo]

it does..?

[hard ivy]

There's diluted packaged fuel, which only needs a refinery and packagers

[fathom shuttle]

I was loading 5-10 stacks so idk

[dense violet]

if it was a manifold , yo uwere using pipe junctions xD

[mortal ginkgo]

oh you mean like that

o'well

[dense violet]

the main issue with pipes is that some cases that look exactly the same might not work the same.

just because they are kinda unstable at the start.

for example you could try spinning a plate on your finger and it'll work 9 times out of 10.

[mortal ginkgo]

I swear if Satisfactory 2 Reveng of the Mankind got the same pipe functionality, I gonna flip tables

[dense violet]

but fall and break that 10th time because it didn't start QUITE right

[fallen violet]

so whats the play here, extractors into heavy oil residue into diluted fuel into burner?

[hard ivy]

It depends on the history of the pipe lol

[dense violet]

honestly yes. sometimes how the pipes gets to a point can affect it

[true mulch]

pipes are easy if you stop trying insane cool setups and just stick to what's proven to work

[dense violet]

honestly pipes are very simple once you get the basics. People treat them like belts very often and run into issues.
feel free to ping me when doing your next fluid thing, I can give you pointers

[ivory condor]

how about giving belts the same functionality as pipes, that would be perfect for the next update

[fallen violet]

what should i do with the excess polymer resin? do i just sink it?

[hard ivy]

That's why I always flush my pipes whenever I have issues. 9 times out of 10, I don't have issues afterwards

[dense violet]

that can help sometimes

[true mulch]

or make bonus plastic/rubber

[fallen violet]

im a wet concrete kinda guy so i think ima just going to sink it

[hard ivy]

Sink or turn into plastic/rubber if you have a use for it. Just remember to sink overflow so your fuel plant doesn't stop running due to resin backup

Or fabric, that works too. You'll be able to automate filters

[tropic dove]

Hey, i saw a Video from Early Acces with the Train and the Car. In the Video, the Train and Cars didnt work well because they were in Multiplayer.
What about now? Do they Work Lag/Bug-Free in Multiyplayer?

[true mulch]

they work alright in multiplayer now

how old was the video?

[tropic dove]

2021 or something

[dense violet]

although 1.1 sounds like it's a bit wonky in general. A lot of people having mp and server issues

[true mulch]

oh yeah, definitely better now

[dense violet]

might want to wait a couple weeks for patches on mp

[tropic dove]

Okay, but are there many Sync Problems?

[true mulch]

I don't know how to answer that

[dense violet]

yeah, just a lot of general issues.

[true mulch]

when I played back in update 8, they worked well

but as Cobalt said, multiplayer has other problems now

[dense violet]

single player does seem more stable

but that's almost always the case with new updates

[left totem]

around 60%

[fickle pier]

Have frequent crashes on 1.1 playing on Ally z1e

[idle wren]

yo, is satisfactory going to be discounted on upcomming summer sale? id like to try the game out but its super expensive for my country

[dense violet]

maybe a bit. probably8 not much though

[reef basin]

We don't know in advance

[idle wren]

kinda was hoping there was some info D:

[reef basin]

Makes no sense for devs to announce future sale

[dense violet]

there'll probably be a small sale.

[idle wren]

why tho?

[reef basin]

"Hey if you wait a bit, you can make us earn less money"

[shy mulch]

Imagine if they plan a sale in 1 month and they tell everyone about it, between now and then they would get 0 sales as everyone would just wait

[boreal musk]

the game is fairly new if we're just counting 1.0 release, so dont expect big sale

[rich parrot]

Probably 30 % sale, like the last one.

[hard ivy]

Probably, but I wouldn't expect more than 20-30%. But then again, they discounted it recently, so it might not be on sale again anytime soon

[reef basin]

I wish more games went the Factorio way

[vital crane]

how can i change directions in the hypertube junctions ?

[reef basin]

"this is the price, take it or leave it"

[boreal musk]

press E

[velvet idol]

what gradually becoming more and more expensive?

[reef basin]

Fixed price, no sales

[hard ivy]

On one hand, never having a discount on a mid-price game kinda sucks for people who can't really afford it but at least you know for sure that if you bought it, you got the best deal you could've gotten.

[dense violet]

I typically wait like 3 years until they slash the price in half then goes on deep sale xD

[shy mulch]

Pricing on steam can be different per country, so it's entirely possible to adjust it for varying economies so everyone can enjoy the game while paying a reasonable but affordable amount

[clear aspen]

General kenobi

[reef basin]

This may sound a bit harsh, but usually if you can't afford game at full price, it's not a good financial decision to buy it at 70-80% of original price either.

But yeah, the "best deal you can get" is a big argument for no-sale policy

[restive drum]

uhh how to kill the strong hog?

idk its name, I keep dying to it

[velvet idol]

hit it till it dies

[restive drum]

T.T it kills me before that

[shy mulch]

ranged attacks

[true mulch]

cliff hog, use ranged weapons and remember you can build in combat too

just build a wall for cover

[restive drum]

unfortunateley I dont have ranged weapons

ig I will try walling

[hard ivy]

Except steam regional pricing sucks. They like never update it, so if you're like poland and the conversion rate was frozen at the worst possible time, the games are now as expensive as in the US, despite Poland having like half the average income.

Very few Devs bother to manually set the price to something sensible

[rich parrot]

You could build a foundation, jump on it and then whack the beast from above when it comes near.

[idle wren]

yup

[restive drum]

cool, will do that

[velvet idol]

all EU contries are part of the same "region" and thus subject to the same pricing, even though not all EU countries are built equal

[dense violet]

research the MAM items, it's very useful

[true mulch]

not true at all

[restive drum]

okie

[dense violet]

makes exploration reasonable

[velvet idol]

well, all EU member states that are part of Eurozone anyway

[true mulch]

Epic's regional pricing doesn't seem much better. The game is priced at $39.99 but also €38.99, I guess from that time when both currencies nearly matched lol

[hard ivy]

I'm reasonably sure it's done per currency, and Poland, unlike most of the EU, doesn't use Euro

[steel hollow]

do you guys build your starter factory in 1 big building?

[hard ivy]

AFAIK, the US price is without taxes, EU is with

[true mulch]

Eurozone is only the countries that have already adopted Euro, the others are either bound to adopt it or are exempt

[true mulch]

okay, that would explain it

[shy mulch]

I've never understood why americans seem to be completely happy to accept the practice of stating the price of something then adding on tax at the very end, just tell me the amount of money I need to pay for the thing, it's such a misleading system and very dishonest imo

monarchy has been deleted, you are now president

[reef basin]

and then add 20% mandatory tip 😛

[velvet idol]

yes, and on Steam, they all use the same pricing. Me in Croatia have to pay 38,99€ for Satisfactory, the same as Germany, despite the fact that one of those countries has about 3 times higher wage than the other one

[shy mulch]

"if you can't afford to tip, you can't afford to eat out"
replace with
"if you can't afford to pay your staff enough that they don't need tips, you can't afford to run a restaurant"
but americans aren't ready to hear that

[boreal musk]

it was 20 bucks for me in full price

[true mulch]

these are systemic problems which the average American can't do much about

[shy mulch]

individually no, you're right, but if society as a whole get behind something change can happen, cancel culture exists

[dense violet]

I mean 'cancel culture' is a fabricated term by right wing wackos who claim they are being silenced while on tv talking about things

[reef basin]

cancel culture should be cancelled

[shy mulch]

whenever an american tries to argue anything with me, I'll just explain that the world sees america the way america sees florida, and leave it at that haha

im mostly pc but a little bit xbox

[velvet idol]

I'm more of a Playstation guy

[pastel carbon]

It seems like americans have certainly gotten behind something, that's for sure

[ivory condor]

Anyways never stop mewing

[fathom shuttle]

My plastic and rubber factory will need 120 refineries and 24 blenders 💀😭

I’ll start overclocking

I have 300 powershards which part of the process should I OC the most?

[shy mulch]

I'm just going to sit here and moan that a really nice top I bought myself a few weeks ago for quite a high price has some stitching coming loose already

[heavy mist]

F

[shy mulch]

It's only 120 refineries, just build them 😛 megaproject ahoy

I'm off to find something soft for lunch that won't irritate my toothache

[boreal musk]

less refineries sounds better

[velvet idol]

nah, I play on PC, but Playstation 1 was my gateway to video games when I was a wee lad

lol, lmao even

[arctic swallow]

i am stupid

it wasn't the probleem with the fluids

it was a problem with wrong stations

[smoky forge]

its always fluids

real

[velvet idol]

Play on the lowest settings on 720p, cap the framerate to about 20 and now you can pretend you're playing Satisfactory on the Switch

[ivory condor]

I need to go find my void rays now

[dense violet]

don't egg them on

[arctic swallow]

also did they break ziplines on bigpower poles?

[boreal musk]

works fine for me

but if you talk about the animation reset for each line, then yes

[velvet idol]

bonus points if you have a Switch controller now that 1.1 has controller support

[arctic swallow]

yes

you can't zipline on sharp edges

with fingers

[boreal musk]

cant really imagine playing sf with controller

[arctic swallow]

how about vr?

[fallen violet]

any mods or ways im missing to only take a certain amount from inventory depot? feels kinda klunky getting 100 power shards, then using 3, then uploading 97

[arctic swallow]

blancers

[dense violet]

... jsut.. keep the stack in your inventory?

you get lots and lots of spce

[fallen violet]

so im guessing the answer to my question is no

[dense violet]

no.
and if you're BP a machine with shards in it it'll pull from depot anyway

[heavy mist]

next project is 600GW in rocket fuel send help

[north violet]

My brain breaks when trying to design a metro station. Everything else apart of the game is fine. But a friggin metro is what gets me

[abstract heron]

i did 700GW factory

with RF from 2550 oil into 9444RF per minute

[heavy mist]

hell yea, i wanna do max nuclear to so im saving some sulfer and some more to spare for other shit, only going to use 2500 crude

[dense violet]

why are you doing that much fuel if you're going to do nuclear?

[heavy mist]

cause it looks cool

[boreal musk]

600 oil into rf is enough to do nuclear

just for kick start of you want big nuclear setip

[dense violet]

one geyser hooked upt to power storage is enough to do nuclear

[heavy mist]

higher number goo brrrrt

[boreal musk]

i never really use those power storage tbh, i just build enough power to build more power

[dense violet]

eh, I had a power station that needed 15gw to run, jsut charged up storage while building it

[heavy mist]

wut im doing for this one, as the jump wont be able to be ran on the current grid

[dense mango]

i forgor

[abstract heron]

mine i only use 475 oil or 500 oil enough to have it in swamp

still 29C high today

When you get a better alternative recipe and you need to deconstruct the entire factory

Pretty much any alternative screw recipes

Who doesn't?

[dense mango]

guys do i get heavy flexible frame

or steeled frames

[abstract heron]

unlock in hub idk which tier tho

[maiden notch]

Those are some good questions

[dense mango]

as in alternative recipies..

[hard ivy]

those are recipes for 2 different items?

[abstract heron]

there are alt recipes for frames

[dense mango]

hard drive scan gave me those 2 options

[hard ivy]

ah, then steeled

[dense mango]

kay

[boreal musk]

if you want to simplify production? go for steel frame

[maiden notch]

Guys lets be real. There's really no good starting location

[abstract heron]

How i play is i rush to coal and then RUSH to other stuff

or rush to oil power

[dense mango]

why did they limit the hard drive alternative recipies from 3 to 2

wait no but they added rescans..

[hard ivy]

yeah, you get up to 4 but only 2 at a time

[abstract heron]

first power was 3450 oil into 9200 fuel for 460 fuel gens

[maiden notch]

I thing rescans are a scam 90% of the time

[abstract heron]

also with the game have a movie or a show in the background while working on very long projects

[hard ivy]

especially because the 2 recipes you passed up on go back into the pool to haunt you again

if you have the drives, don't rescan, scan more drives

[maiden notch]

Yep. It reminds me of a story a teacher told the class about double guessing. There was a guy who was doing a military test and he would always double guess himself and do worse so on one test the director decided to cut off the eraser on the pencil and the guy did way better.

hello, my friend wanna join to this server but he got stuck on entrance-exam, what he should do?

[dense mango]

write !lizarddoggo

[clear aspen]

That doesn’t help

[half kiln]

thx

[clear aspen]

I have no clue what ur talking about

[south sinew]

is there any way to make a one way grid connection? I want to charge my power storages but not allow them to discharge

[mortal ginkgo]

unplug them from the main line

[clear aspen]

Make power to send into the battery and only the battery

[south sinew]

unplugging them has the slight side effect of them not charging ;p

[clear aspen]

In game I have a doggo named thermonuclear warhead cause it gave me and my friend a nuke Nobelist first thing

[mortal ginkgo]

may I suggest unplugging them AFTER charging them fully? Might work wonders

[south sinew]

it probably does work but also involves some babysitting of the batteries which I'd rather avoid

I was looking at the priority power switch but I guess the switch won't trigger if it can drain power from the batteries instead

[warped pawn]

texan has a ping for already DANGG

[mortal ginkgo]

how is it babysitting if you just go back to them once after an hour or two to unplug them? 😛

[clear aspen]

Blast furnace, it combines coal and iron to make steel, summer to the satisfactory foundry

[clear aspen]

First ping

[south sinew]

The main issue is that I intend to go back and keep adding more batteries

[warped pawn]

no i mean like ping for

[clear aspen]

Yea

[clear aspen]

U already know the Indus machines

[warped pawn]

@clear aspen

[south sinew]

so it would be less of a "once" and more of a "repeatedly"

[clear aspen]

Craft assembler combines two items, similar to the assembler from satisfactory

[warped pawn]

wowzers

[clear aspen]

I ping per person

[clear aspen]

Per day

Name a satisfactory machine and I’ll tell u the Indus counterpart

[mortal ginkgo]

I know its against your playstyle but, how about putting A LOT of them at first and let them charge slowly?

[south sinew]

that would involve having a lot more copper wire right now than I actually have

[clear aspen]

No more

[south sinew]

especially because the damn DD holds so little copper wire

[mortal ginkgo]

well I am out of options to help

[clear aspen]

Just name a satisfactory machine

[south sinew]

yeah that's fair, if the game doesn't have a decent option for power grid management, it doesn't have one

[mortal ginkgo]

I at least keep smol container with wires stacked so

[warped pawn]

npp

[clear aspen]

Not in Indus yet, you should know this

Name one

[warped pawn]

the reason i quit FOR NOW

[clear aspen]

Ur Indus machine is the cpp, related to the coal power generator

[south sinew]

hmm, fused quickwire + quickwire cable seems pretty decent

[warped pawn]

blast furnace is similar to foundry, it makes steel, and basically just combines stuff

[south sinew]

mkay then, made 21600MWh of storage, that'll do me for a while even if it will take 3 hours to charge

[warped pawn]

for some reason batteries absolutely lag my world

[ripe basin]

What does Indus mean

[warped pawn]

theres a game called industrialist, its the coal tag

[ripe basin]

Roblox?

Understandable

[warped pawn]

kinda sucks since theres not much space and lags almost instantly so endgame is hard if u dont ration ur models

[stark solar]

Satisfactory isn't exactly bad at power management; you do need to learn the tools it offers though.

Priority Power Switches are more capable than you think

[oak night]

What do they do exactly

[boreal musk]

i avoid those cuz it can force stop machine to idle while using hoverpack, in my case

[stark solar]

They have two main purposes; you can control them remotely from any other PPS, and they let you have part of your grid fail without the entire grid failing during overuse

So anywhere on the map you could power off some copper plant if you want, and you can establish priorities to keep up when you use too much power.

If you put your oil pumps and refineries on a priority 1 switch, and various factory floors on, say, priority 4, if you go over your oil pumps and refineries will try to stay up

even if your factory floors start shutting down

[warped pawn]

basically if u do it right u never run out of power, and if u want to disable something, as long as u connect a power switch the right way u can shut it off whenever

although its not inf power its just if u use too much it disables factorys until u restabalize

really good for stuff like npps

[oak night]

I understand, thank you

[boreal musk]

or just build power big enough you never encounter that problem

[warped pawn]

priority is still really important

[stark solar]

Yeah. Means you don't have that "oh shit" moment of your power production needing a careful bootstrapping to get it back up with overages.

[boreal musk]

not really, i never have power problem without power switch

[stark solar]

soranei: It is of course not necessary, it's just a nice quality-of-life thing

[boreal musk]

that means youre doing something wrong if your power is shutting down

[stark solar]

There is value in "doing something wrong" leading to a small loss rather than a huge one.

[cloud crown]

Is there a mod that reduces monster agroo range?

[ripe basin]

Theres no "Doing something wrong" in satisfactory

[warped pawn]

go to settings and u can change mob reactions to u

[stark solar]

Empress: I think you can set the server option to have monsters retaliate only

[warped pawn]

theres passive retalliate and other stuff

[dense mango]

default, passiv, retaliate

[ripe basin]

Did you know that you have the button "Reply" in discord?

[dense mango]

tried telling him that

[warped pawn]

and know what i should do with 26k aluminum ingots/m

[cloud crown]

If i click that option i feel i might as well remove them from the game but i guess...

[dense mango]

he has habits

[ripe basin]

Huh

[stark solar]

bug: I am aware. I don't use it because I prefer just to use the keyboard, and I chat on a bunch of other systems.

[dense mango]

he uses multiple different text apps so he dosent wanna reply and prefers whatever he uses

[warped pawn]

i only go retalliate when im building its the best for just like experiencing the game without being annoyed

[stark solar]

Mmm: Alclad aluminium sheets are a good belt material unless you're already past that stage

[dense mango]

i use default because im opps with every creature in this sacred world

turbo rifle ammo + default = doom eternal

[warped pawn]

im still on the water looping part, im asking for future ref

[stark solar]

I love sniping with the rebar gun

[tame vortex]

Hi I have a question do you prefer factories in buildings, or large slabs with flat factories?

[cloud crown]

I hate they chase you to your home when they are protecting an ore or a slug
I would love if they attack anything in large range around what they are protecting but you can easily carry enemies from one end of the map to another

[boreal musk]

depends

[stark solar]

Mmm: containers for rocket fuel, alclad sheets for belts, good stuff.

[dense mango]

i sometimes fill my whole hotbar with rebar gun and just spam them like crossbows from minecraft

[boreal musk]

having factory with multiple floors is eye candy, but if im lazy i just do one floor

[stark solar]

I get the turbo rifle is a fun rambo thing, but I find the rebar gun to be very satisfying.

[boreal musk]

ex rebar ftw

[dense mango]

explosive + stun

[stark solar]

I use the base rebar ammo.

[warped pawn]

rebar with stun and basher is best combo

[dense mango]

i see

[stark solar]

Right now there are few foes where that's not good enough. The giant radhogs are ... not fun though.

[dense mango]

i have a homing rifle ammo factory connected to a depot so when in lazy i just spam homing

[stark solar]

If you can snipe them from far enough away they won't aggro on you when you hit them

[dense mango]

yea

discovered that when i shot the space tick whale penguin thong

[stark solar]

So killing stuff with basic repo is either a graceful dance or a sniping contest

[vestal mica]

you should get a keyboard with an @ key on it, @stark solar

[dense mango]

true

[boreal musk]

you can hold C when using jetpack, it help to reduce detection when using rifle and rebar

[dense mango]

he prefers to do it this way dude

[stark solar]

krumpss: The way I do it I can talk exactly the same way on IRC, slack, here, and other places

And IRC custom is the way I'm doing it

[vestal mica]

he prefers to make it unecessarily difficult to see that he's addressing you

[stark solar]

Nah, I'm just on the old side. Habits are part of life.

[vestal mica]

you spelled my name wrong, @stark solar

[mortal ginkgo]

you know whats a bit ironic? it should be considerably more effort to constantly explain people other than just, pressing "Reply" arrow 😄

[stark solar]

krumpps: Happens.

[ripe basin]

I have a(n?) easy to remember name

[vestal mica]

at this point, it feels like they just like the attention it brings

[mortal ginkgo]

I wouldn't disagree.

[stark solar]

krumpps: I'll answer questions about it, but I'm not bringing it up.

[dense mango]

plan with a bug

[ripe basin]

Yeah

[vestal mica]

yeah, just like the guy wearing a parrot on his shoulder in the starbucks

[clear aspen]

Industrialist

[stark solar]

This is more like someone coming from another culture and you're grumpy they speak with an accent

[mortal ginkgo]

nobody's grumpy, we are just talking about it

[vestal mica]

that's such a false analogy

[mortal ginkgo]

I am glad the guy muted me but I can't mute him because it is too entertaining at this point

[vestal mica]

refusing to press @ instead of : to make it easier to communicate is not some cultural heritage

you're just being different to be different

[stark solar]

"Submit to my whims or you're bring a snowflake" isn't really a solid line of reasoning

[vestal mica]

hard disagree to whatever nonsense you're typing now

[mortal ginkgo]

He got.. issues.

Too much internet / reddit / bluesky.

[vestal mica]

no "you're bring a snowflake"

whatever that means when translated to english

[warped pawn]

pretty much means baby

nicest way to describe it

[stark solar]

Do people really not use that expression anymore?

[vestal mica]

I am bring a snowflake

[warped pawn]

its used a lot

[ripe basin]

I use swear words to describe someone

[mortal ginkgo]

You are a bug.

[ripe basin]

Yes i am

Questions?

[stark solar]

Anyhow, curious when we'll see 1.2 experimental builds start to drop

[mortal ginkgo]

why so buggy?

[ripe basin]

Uhh

Hmm

[mortal ginkgo]

is it ethically correct to bug someone as a bug?

[boreal musk]

the 1.1 literally just drop recently

[ripe basin]

Yes

[boreal musk]

we're not having 1.2 for a good while

my rough guess will be around 1 year

[stark solar]

soranei: Wasn't expecting 1.2 release soon; you think experimental 1.2 is a year out?

[warped pawn]

possibly even more ngl

[stark solar]

Sadness

[tropic dove]

Hey i need your help because i dont know whats better,
I want to Produce 15 different Items in a Factory.
Would i be better to let every Product have his own Production line and just Splitting the Ores out of the Miner, or should i do the Products in the Same Production line.
For Example: I split Iron Plates, Screws and Iron Rods from the Production line for Reinfoced Iron Plates

[dense violet]

either works.

[stark solar]

Beasty: Both are valid, might depend on what resource nodes are local

[dense violet]

just a personal preference

[tropic dove]

Okay. I just dont want it to be to Much to Handle but want to Produce many Materials

[stark solar]

although at the ore level I suggest having each node have a set of smelters that fully utilizes the production rate, and only split things out downstream

[warped pawn]

none are easier, its just how u like ur machines, all the same ones in one area, or different ares for different items

[stark solar]

e.g. if your copper node produces 120 with your available miner, you want 4 smelters immediately downstream of it to handle that rate.

[warped pawn]

i like having different priority switches for different parts/machines for my factory cuz it looks cool lmao

like a switch for refineries one for miners etc etc

[carmine musk]

Anyone got tips to make my stuff look better im early game at the moment, should i focus on efficiency for now and later on style?

[stark solar]

You don't have to turn on all those smelters immediately and you can underclock your miner if you don't need the capacity immediately, but at least have it built and ready to go for when you might need it

[dense violet]

mostly practice and planning

[warped pawn]

yes

[tropic dove]

Okay, i think i will just find my Way through it when i am Building it.

[carmine musk]

Bet

[mortal ginkgo]

Personal suggestion, screw looks until you get to chapter 3, get some jetpack and fuel going

[dense violet]

take ideas from images from other people, and practice 🙂

[dense violet]

there's also a whole channel for it #design-and-architecture

[carmine musk]

Yeah cause ive been tryna make farms with building but i keep falling and dying lmao

[carmine musk]

Thanks

My friend says that using biomass burners is the easiest way to get a lot of fuel (he says that for endgame mid game and early game) is bro right or am i tripping

[stark solar]

huitg25: they don't give you fuel, they consume it.

[warped pawn]

maybe not burners

[mortal ginkgo]

parachute can save you most of the time but its really not worth it, take it from my experience. get simple fuel and jetpack going before you do anything pretty

[carmine musk]

Thats what im saying like coal sounds way better

[warped pawn]

spiders are gonna annihalate him bro 😭

[dense violet]

your bro is trolling you

[carmine musk]

Cats*

[mortal ginkgo]

he needs to hug spiders, they need love too

[stark solar]

Biomass burners are good both as your first real power source, and as a portable power source to open up crash sites. They're not otherwise good once you hit midgame

[carmine musk]

Cats*

[warped pawn]

spiders creep me out but not enough to have them on arachnaphobia

[mortal ginkgo]

no, fight your fears, it will only get you stronger

I hate them as much as you do, but I am like "heck you, have some explosives"

[carmine musk]

Cats are scarier than spiders in this game for some reason

[carmine musk]

I dont

[mortal ginkgo]

I mean, you will hear constant meows that are coming out of nowhere

[stark solar]

Although if you want to do a challenge run, only biomass burners and hydropower would be interesting

[carmine musk]

Like you know damn well its not a cat wich is scarier

[mortal ginkgo]

Thats a new way to look at things

[stark solar]

Arachnaphobia should rarely but randomly cause bumps to show up on your arms and then little spiders hatch from them

[carmine musk]

@mortal ginkgo do you work for unreal?

[mortal ginkgo]

nope
