satisfactory

[hard ivy]

No, you have to pull out a stack every now and then

But a stack lasts 20 minutes, even at max radiation

[fathom shuttle]

Max radiation as in ficsonium right

[hard ivy]

No, as in the radiation bar on the screen

Even uranium ore gets you to max if you stand near a container

Or pick it up

[fathom shuttle]

I thought that the radiation intensity differed between items, or is it just the range of radioactivity

[ember locust]

16+ probably works. but i don't think theres a certain age range in mind. as long as you have the ability to do the math, you're clear

[hard ivy]

Both. But the bar has both a top and a bottom limit

A stack of Ficsonium rods in your inventory has more radiation than a stack of uranium ore, but both max out the bar and there's no difference in filter usage

[buoyant viper]

Hello? Can someone help me with something? I have been trying to "chat" with Ada in singleplayer and get no reponses. I am aware that they are preset responses, but nothing seems to work. I there a reason why? Did the feature get removed? I remember it working around a year ago.

[timid rune]

alright time to go pure caterium instead of tempered then lol

[astral moth]

Thx this really helped me

[limber mulch]

Hi folks, I need to set up a Rocket Fuel production facility. The recipe I want to use requires Fuel, Nitrogen, Coal, and Sulfur. I looked at Satisfactory Calculator and Satisfactory Tools, but neither has an up to date map showing Nitrogen sources. Does anyone have a suggestion for where to best locate a Rocket Fuel production facility?

[astral moth]

No clue sorry

[buoyant viper]

She probably just hates me :c
I'm not productive enough unu

[astral moth]

Haha, ADA always complaining about our productivity 😞

[fathom shuttle]

What does the train signal loops itself mean

[astral moth]

I grab stuff from multiple places, not sure if theres a best location that has all 3 of those things close

[limber mulch]

Thanks Jess, I guess I'll throw another train on the tracks 🙂

As for ADA, that cranky bitch can suck portal fluid for all I care

[astral moth]

No worries, I go to the tedious effort of connecting via conveyors, I should probably invest in trains though, it sucks when my conveyors span across large distances

[steady glade]

its pretty litteral, you messed up placing a signals and somehow there is a path from a signal to another that loops back

try replacing your signals or ensuring there is a block between them

[astral moth]

Does this game have a temporary power option.
For example say I want power to my hypertube cannon but only for about 5 seconds when I use it.

[steady glade]

no theres not really any way to cut power after some time, at least in vanilla

[astral moth]

What if I make a power system which always fuse breaks after a certain amount of time

[limber mulch]

@astral moth You can use the Priority Power Switch to remotely turn off a hypertube cannon

[astral moth]

Ohh, thank you I forgot about this. I believe it's accesible in tier 3-4

[fathom shuttle]

Oh I see

[limber mulch]

Yup. I used it for a while when I had more cannons than power.

[astral moth]

Amazing solution, thanks.

[ripe basin]

I made a factory for radio control units

[leaden turret]

biomass burners, pop some biomass in when you want to use the tube

[trail cave]

At this point I'm doubting console release was just a fake announcement

[ripe basin]

I mean like a proper factory, for 2.5 RCU per minute

[hard ivy]

You know, it's funny reading these kinds of messages when I'm making 15 for myself, 50 for Turbo Motors, and will be making even more later

I, too, was once proud of automating 3/min

[errant vapor]

hey guys, does anyone know why vulkan is giving me massive frametime spikes?

[fathom shuttle]

258 tickets lets goo

[ripe basin]

Why would you need that many

[atomic notch]

Who pinged me

[fathom shuttle]

Late game needs a lot of turbo motors

[arctic swallow]

what are RCU i only think about rocket control units but thats the wrong game

[hard ivy]

Because a single converter needs 50 RCUs

[atomic notch]

Lol

[ripe basin]

Radio control units

[arctic swallow]

close enough

[ripe basin]

It was me, Dio

[fathom shuttle]

It’s not that bad unless you’re building thousands of them

[ripe basin]

I can sloop the manufacturer for 5 RCU/min

[cyan garnet]

SCIM has nitrogen, but they are resource wells, not nodes. Different tab on the right side you have to open and enable to show on the map

But for rocket fuel I’ll save you the trouble and tell you the place to build it is the blue crater (SE corner of the map)

[brave flame]

Ey folks am new to Satisfactory just wanted to ask if anyone has some tips for expanding my growing factory

(just got assemblers and built the space elevator atm, still on biofuel)

[south sinew]

you wanna go for coal asap

so finish the phase and get tier 3

[cyan garnet]

Build on foundations. Don’t worry too much about your early factories, consider them temporary until you get to coal power

Eventually you will need to spread out and build all over the map rather than trying to continue to centralize. The game encourages and rewards you for exploring

The map is huge, and gorgeous

[south sinew]

you don't need to avoid centralisation at all

[kind basalt]

My I ask whether it's possible to save game on client side in multiplayer? My friend is annoyed I keep asking him for the save data and I'd like to save it myself to my local disk.

[fathom shuttle]

#screenshots this train junction is making me go insane

I redid it like 2 times already and still get the same signaling error

[kind basalt]

Dude me too, don't know how to continue lol. And I'm certain my signals are correct.

[fathom shuttle]

Idk what to do anymore tbh

[atomic notch]

Push pull trains no signaling required

[trim vine]

Anyone having an issue where you cannot place a blueprint while looking at foundations?

like, the BP appears if I target just regular terrain, but if I try and put the BP on a block of foundations it just.... doesnt show

[fathom shuttle]

redid it for the third time

[maiden notch]

and then a 4th time

and then a 5th time

and then even more after that

Sorry there's not Phase 6

[fathom shuttle]

Help me out 💀

Don’t tell me this is all because I didn’t place signals at the merges that I set up

[trim vine]

Your screenshot is fine from a quick, and very tired glance, its a recurring problem I think everyone is experiencing with trains at the moment, whatever they did in 1.1 fucked how rails interact and segment themselves with blocks and paths

[dense violet]

might be a mod?

[fossil ice]

Official Modding Discord

<3 @dense violet

[trim vine]

However, if you look at the second screenshot with the colors of segmented tracks, you can see that the intersectional colour of orange extends past the intersection, causing the glitch

[atomic notch]

Id be annoyed too tbh

[fathom shuttle]

I sent more screenshots, you can that I didn’t put signals at the stations and the mergers/exist into the rails

[trim vine]

That shouldnt matter

[fathom shuttle]

I guess the segmented tracks could be an issue too, since I redid it again and it’s causing the same issue and they aren’t changing in color

[willow dawn]

Hi all, I'm new to the channel. Decided to take a look at satisfactory again after a VERY long time. When I played last a lot of mechanics weren't in the game yet and the special objects were just something that would become important in the future so I am very excited to see how 1.1 plays

[cyan garnet]

There’s definitely some bugginess with rail junctions and 1.1. Just look at recent threads in #1038092680493801533 to see how often it comes up

[cyan garnet]

Make a thread, share all your screenshots there. Hard to troubleshoot when having to go back and forth between here and screenshots

[prisma forge]

do you guys build your train stations down on the ground or like a bit higher from the ground:

[willow dawn]

I have a question, is there any reason not to make biofuel out of Mycelia?

[cyan garnet]

I build my rail network and stations elevated, personally. The stations are so big it would be hard to place them on the ground

I use concrete pylon blueprints to make them semi realistic

[willow dawn]

I have been looking at some guides to get back into it and they all mention making it from leaves and wood but not Mycelia and I wanted to check if there was a reason for this

[cyan garnet]

Leaves and wood are generally easier to source

You can use mycelia to make fabric (but you can’t use leaves or wood for that)

[willow dawn]

True, but I am starting to get a lot while getting wood and leaves and it would be easy enough to expand my factories to have a constuctor for it, but perhaps I will need it for something else

[tall blaze]

what do people use trains even for

[cyan garnet]

once you’ve built a parachute and a good stockpile of gas mask filters, I would say you don’t have any other need for mycelia. And you can automate fabric later

[cyan garnet]

Long distance high volume transport

[willow dawn]

Thanks, I will keep some for fabric 🙂

[tall blaze]

for..?

like water and oil?

[cyan garnet]

I have trains moving aluminum, plastic, rubber, silica, quartz crystal, caterium

[ripe basin]

I used it for oil, caterium, aluminum and quartz

[cyan garnet]

Uhhh….coal and sulfur

Those are the main ones

Basically all the resources that aren’t usually next to each other but are needed together for later tier production

[fathom shuttle]

Will do, thanks everyone. I’ll need to cool my head off because this rail really pisses me off lol

[cyan garnet]

Yeah I get it. It’s annoying but it’s fixable

[rocky sierra]

why wont my save file load?

[cyan garnet]

I do not move oil or water with trains, personally, but some people do. My preference is to process oil on-site, and to build near water when water is needed

[cyan garnet]

#1038092680493801533

[barren dove]

Everything!

Got a safe where i do an entire oil to rocketfuelproduction with trains between each needed step

[ripe basin]

I really like the desigh of trains

[versed mirage]

if i have a power plant should i just build near it or build wherever and connect it with power poles

[loud ivy]

not much really,just the best transport in the game thats all

[tall blaze]

what do yall use to generate power

[loud ivy]

trucks are flexible medium volume low speed mass transit,trains are non-flexible high volume high speed mass transit,and drones are low volume high speed transit, suitable only for low items/min transport

[tall blaze]

theres so many options

[loud ivy]

personally turbofuel, changing to fuel only soon

[smoky forge]

wherever you get more than enough recorces for the power grid

[trim vine]

when you're in bp connect mode, is there any way to change it from curved to right angles when you're making turns?

[fathom shuttle]

Play Tokyo drift to the blueprint, might help it get sideways

[loud leaf]

i tried making a blueprint for the first time but when i clicked save blueprint the game crashed and when i turn on the save it instantly crashes. I can sand the crash log

[wet dock]

If anybody has had the same problem as me not having framegen with a 40/50 series card and having HAGS enabled, you might need to turn off vsync.

[swift kernel]

Skill issue

[loud leaf]

tf

[swift kernel]

I'm joking on the Internet

People do that

I don't know why your game crashed so I'm implying lack of skill was involved even though skill was clearly not a factor

Over explaining jokes is another thing I like to do. Because I find it amusing.

[arctic swallow]

nahhhh man thats too much.......how could you say something like that ||(joke)||

[swift kernel]

I'm a rude person. The absolute rudest. Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves.

[arctic swallow]

😭

[remote lake]

for me I use trains to move parts between different factories because I've adopted the play style of having multiple satellites factories for different products, and it's gotten to the point where long belts are no longer feasible or nice looking lol

[wet dock]

#screenshots message invisible water?

my game feels so buggy after forcing it to be directx 12

[open pollen]

Maybe try #1038092680493801533 and make a post including the log

[loud leaf]

i already fixed it but now i have a problem that the blueprint is invisible

[mossy birch]

Well… if I produce 1200 m3 of rocket fuel, and produce uhh… 200 compacted coals, how to recycle all of it?

[grave linden]

Ay, is the game stuggeling performance wise after 1.1? My system is constantly working more than it did before resulting in my gpu heating up a lot. Or am I missing something?

[loud leaf]

and it says file for this blueprint is missing even though i just saved it

[tall lantern]

probably an invalid session name

ending with a space, or having unusual characters

[open pollen]

I just sink the compacted coal personally

[mossy birch]

I am thinking of rebuilding my oil factory.

With aesthetic.

Issue: I can’t do it cause I am bad.

[open pollen]

You could also use the compacted coal in coal gens, but given the amount of rocket fuel I’d say you wouldn’t need that tiny bit of power

[mossy birch]

Machine itself is fine.

[mossy birch]

I’ll see alternative recipes.

There’s steel ingot, but super slow. (Maybe build more.)

[open pollen]

What I’ve been doing is browsing in #design-and-architecture for ideas. Also someone in there linked some good easy building tips videos several days ago or like a day ago not sure

[mossy birch]

Hm. Okay. I’ll have a look if I want.

[open pollen]

I just sunk mine cause my rocket fuel place was far away from all my other stuff and I didn’t want to transport it via train 😆

[mossy birch]

Well…

I transport everything to my hub.

Steel ingot… well… 200 compacted coals means that I can create 800.

The machine that I will make will be two 480 m3 per minute machines.

(Adapted to 250 over clock if I want.)

[dense violet]

check out architecture vids. Totalxclipse has a lot of them

[bitter lodge]

Do you have mk2 pipes?

[mossy birch]

Uhh… how can’t I have?

[open pollen]

Good point. I personally have separate factories and no real main hub

[bitter lodge]

By just not taking it

[mossy birch]

And uhh… it’s a small mistake of doing the mega factory though.

First. Rebuilding completely the machines is a huge pain. Second. Fluids, pain to transport large quantities, especially water. Third. It’s cooking my laptop. I have to downgrade the GPU performance as it reached 80 degrees.

[dense violet]

use liquids on site?

[mossy birch]

Uhh… I package the fluids to the hub.

Cause before I build a mega factory to save my world from abandoning.

[dense violet]

?

why

[mossy birch]

Different resources from different locations.

[dense violet]

you can plan factories to work on a location though

[mossy birch]

The new factory just take all the ores from the world and process all in the hub.

I am thinking of decomposing my mega factory.

After I heard of adding water for higher yield for ingots/concrete.

And water is “limitless”.

[cyan garnet]

You likely have invalid characters or a space at the end of your session name

[wet dock]

#screenshots message why is there just invisible water here?

[dense violet]

you know you're not going to be able to process it all in one spot right?

[mossy birch]

Well… it’s split in 7 sections.

What I am doing right now.

[dense violet]

sure, but even if you try to spread all the resources around the world into different hubs, your computer will catch on fire before you can process all the nodes

[mossy birch]

Section one: Smelting / SAM treatment / Concrete. Section 2: Constructors. Section 3: Assemblers. Section 4: Manufacturers. Section 5: Oil processing. Section 6: Aluminium processing. Section 7: Blenders.

[mossy birch]

That’s what happened to my computer. GPU 80 degrees before lower its maximum speed.

[dense violet]

so you're going to do it again?

[mossy birch]

Also I didn’t clean the dust.

I am thinking of cleaning it one day in a repair centre.

Also it’s a freaking laptop.

[dense violet]

that's not going to allow you to process all the nodes

you're looking at frames per min if not straight up crashes

[mossy birch]

I set to the lowest settings. And well… FPS spikes might happen.

But never crashes. Only in rare circumstances.

[dense violet]

even then. Anyway, you have a warning, you do you

[mossy birch]

Last time it crashed I think was when I built a radar, then it starts freezing and then crash.

I do not know exactly what I did.

[mossy birch]

But in general it is 60. (Set max fps as 60.)

[plucky inlet]

hey so I assumed if I hooked the storages of my iron factory stuff to smart splitters and then to a Sink that the storage would fill up and then the overflow would be take but its taking it now? Is it taking the backlog on the convayors into account or did I do it wrong?

[open pollen]

Maybe go to #1038092680493801533 and add screenshots

[plucky inlet]

ah missed that section my bad

[frigid meteor]

The game is very satisfying

And its about a factory

You could say, its satisfactory

[open pollen]

No worries. You can’t do screenshots in this chat so it’s easier if the question and screenshots are in the same place

[open pollen]

You could also say, out of all the games I’ve been playing recently this one is the most satisfactory

[buoyant pawn]

I wonder... has anyone requested a smart merger yet? A bit like how you have smart splitters, where you can programme in "priorities" (such as overflow), the idea behind a smart merger would be to allow things like "pulling" from one direction as a priority over others

[stuck dagger]

Priority Mergers were added in 1.1 and I think they work similarly to what you described

[buoyant pawn]

In that case I'm probably a doofus and didn't read the patch notes fully xD

[mental ether]

I swaer you used to be able to talk to ada in the chat. That got removeD?

[untold moat]

i think ADA responds to certain chat messages if you are in Singleplayer. could be wrong though

[wise junco]

Its factory time

[mental ether]

according to wiki it will respond to "Hello Ada" but apaerntly not. Maybe only works for singleplayer

[red sun]

i know it responds if you say "thanks jace, helps a lot"

[shy mulch]

there's a bunch of inputs that you can type that it will respond to

all the known ones are listed on wiki

[mental ether]

didnt work

[shy mulch]

I'll go to game now and try it

never done it before just remember seeing it on wiki

yeah seems to not work for me, weird, wonder if 1.1 broke it?

[lost wagon]

seems to not work in singleplayer either, at least most commands

[lost wagon]

this one works

[shy mulch]

I use hypertube cannons a lot, since there are junctions now I thought I'd have a go at making a compact one, but tight turns seem to slow me down, doing 20+ laps of my accellerator seems to launch me at at slower speed than a normal 10 entrance cannon. How are people getting around that?

[loud leaf]

is there a way to put multiple items in smart splitters

[shy mulch]

programmable splitters

[loud leaf]

how do i get those

[shy mulch]

unlock them, same way you got smart splitter

[loud leaf]

okay

[white lodge]

Hello!

[alpine apex]

why does the fused modular frame seem easier then the heat sink

[latent prawn]

because you already built the hmf factory

[alpine apex]

imma build another one

i make separete factorys for each recorce

resoruce*

what is my english

[latent prawn]

heatsinks are pretty easy, just casings and some other stuff. motors are easy & nitrogen is easy

i suggest you caffeinate some more 🙂

[alpine apex]

the would make me lose time, the factory must grown

i run on will power, and nothing else to do

[static dune]

So i build a bunch of foundations in the air, as the ground is uneven as heck. But now i want to make a blueprint and it's just red, is that because everything is in the air? I've never used it before, so i'm not sure how it works

[sterile blade]

Whenever there's an issue with placing a hologram, you should also have one or more tooltips detailing the issue(s)
Eg: missing materials

[fathom shuttle]

How complex is an alien power matrix set up? For 4 APAs

120% power sounds awesome ngl

[static dune]

it's all about other objects clearances :/

[sterile blade]

Try nudging it around or removing obstacles

[green fiber]

is there a creature in the way.
or are you in the way?

[fathom shuttle]

Press h or nudge it

You can clip buildings inside terrain so idk

[sterile blade]

Either way, nothing that a good bashing can't solve

[versed mirage]

should i build my reinforced iron plate factory on 3 pure nodes even if theyre like way further away from my powerplant

[static dune]

waaaaaaiiiit a minute, does the blueprint copy existing buildings or it's only to place and then make a template onto a blank slate?

[junior minnow]

Are oil Trains feasible for a large factory or do I have to build the factory near the oil nodes or do long pipe networks?

[wicked grove]

anyone notice that crouch jumping gradually increases in speed every time you do it in 1.1?

[static dune]

yep, you can go very fast!

[lament niche]

yup, bunnyhopping was implemented apparently. Not complaining

[wet dock]

can you kill creatures with turbo bass?

[mortal ginkgo]

you mean the music box yes?

[wet dock]

yes

[mortal ginkgo]

it does 1 damage, which is enough to oneshot smol bees, but others may take some time

[wet dock]

for reference how much does the first weapon deal?

[mortal ginkgo]

I think rebar does 15, dont trust me on it but wiki might have more info

[sharp sentinel]

My save is officially at the same place my previous 1.0 save was minus seven hours. So I've gotten slightly better at the game. And TBH if I didn't stand around so much I'd probably be even further ahead. I do need to automate some of the lategame parts, but I have things in place to do it so it shouldn't be too hard.

[viral tendon]

How do i give berries to lizard doggos

[viral tendon]

I belive zapper does like 2 lines of damage

Also how much damage doe nobelisk does

Not the explosion but when you throw it on enemies

[hollow needle]

Is the iron pipe alternate recipe good?

[latent prawn]

yeah, i've killed alpha hogs with it before. takes quite a while

[viral tendon]

Fuckass doggo didn't want to get my berry

I killed it

[viral tendon]

Hell yeah it is

[wet dock]

if ficsit can just make infinite materials with the AWESOME shop, why not just do that?

[latent prawn]

there's two main thinks pipe are used for - hmf's and motors. for motors, the iron pipe recipe is awesome, for hmf's, you really need a lot of pipe and making it from steel is more efficient

[viral tendon]

How tf do i get doggos on my side

[untold moat]

feed them paleberries

[latent prawn]

for the other stuff like sam fluxboxes and portabellas, iron pipe is +1

[viral tendon]

They run away from me

[latent prawn]

don't run around them

[barren dove]

Throw paleberry pur of inventory before it starts baxking off

[viral tendon]

Im not running

[latent prawn]

have to toggle walking, drop the berry and back up a bit

[viral tendon]

Done what's next

[barren dove]

Also you have to whisper sweet things to your screen like.. heeeere doggo doggo.

Got a berry for youuuu!

[latent prawn]

they walk up and start eating and you can interact and name them

[untold moat]

crouch, and move slowly while holding it

[viral tendon]

I've got bad news

I accidentally exploded it

Yikes

[untold moat]

well thats not efficient

[latent prawn]

they like uranium ore too as a treat

[viral tendon]

Do they like nuke nobelisks

[latent prawn]

haven't tried

those things are a pita to make

[viral tendon]

I tried

He liked it, he stopped running away from me

Ig they love nuke nobelisk

[fallen violet]

is there a mod that lets you start with the equivalent of mk6 belts and mk3 miners? besides just cheating them in with advanced settings

[viral tendon]

Why would you need thia

[fallen violet]

i dont need it

i thought it would be a fun way to replay the game

with architecture in mind

[viral tendon]

Yikes

I accidentally killed another doggo

[fallen violet]

the issue with cheating them in with advanced settings is mk3 miners costing a lot of power for the start of the game i pressume

[viral tendon]

Skil issue

[sharp sentinel]

I've seen them drown themselves several times, so I feel like it's just natural for them to die at this point.

[viral tendon]

Is shooting them with rebards and exploding them natural?

[sharp sentinel]

Survival of the fittest.

[viral tendon]

I somewhy can't find any mre of them

[rare torrent]

is there a way to port blueprints from one playthru to another?

[untold moat]

just cheat them in and turn on no power

[fallen violet]

well no i still want power consumption

ah, found a mod that lets you configure power consumption of machines, this might do it

[untold moat]

so you want the very power hungry buildings... but don't want them to be cheaper for power?

[leaden ether]

I started my second save with all the mam, alt recipies and hud tiers unlocked. I mean after going through all that at a snails pace once, I don't see a lot of fun in doing it over and over. You do still need to bootstrap you're way back to where you were on your initial playthrough though. Biofuel then coal, then building a small construction materials factory, then up to frames and motors to start building bigger things. So you still need to pay some dues unless you go full on no-cost and no-power.

[fallen violet]

i wanted to start the game with max belts and max miners, thats it. basically that would make it so you no longer have a need to expand a factory once you build it, hence letting me focus on architecture, which is something i rarely do because of the expanding nature of the game

but i still would want a "proper" game, including power generation

[untold moat]

IMHO I would get a world with a decent power generation (1GW) and everything unlocked, then just copy the save whenever I want to start "new"

[leaden ether]

You still want all the alt recipies going that route or you'll likely be rebuilding factories anyway (Unless doing a specific pure recipie run)

[rigid glen]

I don't mind generating the power, I'd be fine with no wiring, all wifi power

[fallen violet]

i dont see much differences without the alt recipes cheat because i most definitely always just savescum recipes

[untold moat]

if you are focused on architecture, just do creative mode at that point...

[leaden ether]

Oh man, I hadn't thought of that :D I need to go back through my save checkpoints and pull one out at that stage for later use :D

[fallen violet]

well, its not black or white, i just want gray

[untold moat]

there is a mod for that, don't remember the name though off the top of my head

[fallen violet]

i want to focus on both architecture, and gameplay

idk, im finishing the game for the first time and its just kinda sad that no nice architecture is being made because its just a constrain in this game

so id like to replay it with proper factories without having a feeling that im shooting myself in the foot

¯_(ツ)_/¯

game shouldnt be called satisfactory, more like, satislab of concrete with machines ontop

[sterile blade]

I don't think the game should be as anyone's playstyle, it's quite diverse!

[rare torrent]

how do i put my blueprints from previous saves to my new save?

[fallen violet]

yeah but its a fact that building actual factories is a constraint

i would like if the game rewarded building... buildings

like, production increases to machines if they are encased

[sterile blade]

and an objective ^^ (unless one just cares about milestones)

[willow dawn]

I personally find find creating perfectly effecitent factories VERY satisfactory. I let go of trying to beauty build in this game and it makes it a lot easier

[fallen violet]

well i would like it to not only be a personal objective, but also get acknowledge inside of the game

[viral tendon]

Is killing lizard dogos neccessasry

[leaden ether]

Hand copy them from one save(world) to the other here: C:\Users\<you>\AppData\Local\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames\blueprints

[willow dawn]

what!>

[viral tendon]

Did i stutter

[rare torrent]

ooohhh

thanks

[willow dawn]

I'm hopping a cat walked on your keyboard

[wet dock]

too lazy to make a factory so i am using awesome shop to get to the next phase

[viral tendon]

I don't have a cat

[sterile blade]

Yeah, the benefits are purely cosmetic 😆
Most of the building pieces (walls, catwalks, windows, hypertubes) are at worse just cosmetics and at best for personal mobility ^^

[fallen violet]

if the game rewarded factory buildings, the game would actually encourage more diverse playstyles. do you want to just make it ugly and quick? or take your time and get extra production?

[willow dawn]

Why would you kill the doggo?

[viral tendon]

Why not

[leaden ether]

Looking at stats, I have killed seveal doggos but I have no idea how, I've not intentionally not noticeably killed a single one. It's like if one dies for some reason within a certain range of you you get the blame or something

[willow dawn]

Actually happy to hear that for the sake of the cat

[wet dock]

maybe cars and trains? the self driving ones

[viral tendon]

I have a dog tho

[south plume]

I just deleted a dimensional depo because I had to rebuild something. And I did not get the materials back to my inventory. What happened to that mercer sphere? Is it gone?

[viral tendon]

He's sleeping on my lap

[fallen violet]

crate near you?

[reef basin]

should go to your inventory, or if no space - to a loot chest

[warm pivot]

Why is straight mode for pipes so f'ed? am I using it wrong? It turns the end diagonal almost all the time, making the mode borderline useless

[viral tendon]

He doesn't get in the way when i'm building

[wet dock]

i had a bug where they do not appear in any chest near me

[south plume]

I have space and it did not go back to inventory

[sterile blade]

The reward is the result. Use cosmetic items for a cosmetic result
Of course, the appeal of that is up to one's own tastes, but that (and factory preferences) is where you can see people achieve extremely different results

Hell, there's even some who prefer not to build on foundations

[fallen violet]

this also happens with belts, means that they are not properly straight. change to a different mode w ctrl, place it, and then use straight after that

[willow dawn]

Do the doggo's still bring you powerslugs?

[spice patio]

Yes.

[willow dawn]

Nice 🙂

No idea where mine is, I just tamed one

[south plume]

Was it just gone? That sphere. It did not appear for me

[viral tendon]

It probably died

Because of like fall damage

[warm pivot]

you sure it wasnt deposited in a dismantle crate somewhere?

I turned merging of dismantle crates off, prefer it without

[south plume]

Damn just found it underneath the foundation. Thanks

Not sure why though I had space in my inventory

[willow dawn]

Already?! I had it like 5 minutes

And there are no deep falls near my factory

Is there a way to check?

[raw dragon]

Did it walk into a gas cloud?

[willow dawn]

None nearby either

[leaden ether]

There is something a little weird about the doggos, they do seem to completely disappear for a time then come back. In the northern coral area I tamed 6 doggos and I never see more than one or maybe two on rare occasions. I dunno.

[raw dragon]

I always put mine in a box after capturing I am too destructive for the little buddy

[willow dawn]

You build a box around them?

[raw dragon]

A tall box around them and a ladder to get in and out easy

Put a sign on the outside so I remember what one is in there

this server isn't for complaining tbh

that's for showing off your factories

[untold moat]

what are you complaining about?

[tardy osprey]

the new way color are while building

[wet dock]

i tamed one and i never saw it again

[kind rose]

I love making just barely functioning machines

[reef basin]

so a bug report or feature request? as said, not what this discord is for

[tardy osprey]

i see
while i understand that, the best way to describe my complaint is with pictures and since i know that this chat can't sustain that i want to know if there is a way

[reef basin]

your complaint should go to QA site

[kind rose]

when I make a resource creater, I need to not understand what I just made within 10 hours

[reef basin]

not in this discord server

[true mulch]

complaining in this discord will reach the developers as much as shouting out of your window

So I just had a thought to a sport in the game: Conveyor Long Jump. Place down a stretch of Mk.6 conveyor and end it in a Merger. Then you get on the conveyor and time your jump over the Merger, and see how far you get. No running, no crouch jumping.

[kind rose]

factories have walls i think

mine don't

[wet dock]

they dont need walls

[kind rose]

its a mess of stuff

and it outputs a thingy

if you call my creations factories, I will agree I suppose

[wet dock]

as long as it takes raw resources and makes a product automatically it is a factory

doesnt even need to be raw

[kind rose]

I now need a map of peoples definitions of factories

[leaden ether]

Factory seems easy, I need a definition of what makes a "Megafactory". And Suggest another level of "Gigafactory" because Megafactory seems to mean anything from 50 to 5000 machines.

Personally I think I builkt my first megafactory at around 1000 machines. But it's just my personal gut feeling.

[reef basin]

"megafactory" is "all production in one place"

it has nothing to do with size

[wet dock]

seems understandable, what about a gigafactory?

[reef basin]

gigafactory is not really defined tbh

you can just say "big factory" lol

[leaden ether]

Interesting.

Are you allowed to atleast ingot-ise ore on site before transporting it or is it all raw ore to the central factory?

[shy mulch]

you can do whatever you want

[leaden ether]

I guess this run is a "Semi-Megafactory" for me. I'm producing all low level items, rubber/plastic/wire/iron sheets/concrete etc in local factories, then shipping all the base materials to a central city area.

i decided to bring my old nuclear plant back online cause i realized there's no reason not to

[barren dove]

Lol you made me google bc i always thought it was on a horse with no name. Guess its bed time for me 😆

[spiral dew]

just unlocked phase 5 of project assembly

oh boy

[weary perch]

760,885 barrels of nuclear waste as of right now :3

[reef basin]

megafactory is "everything in one place"
as soon as you have outposts, its no longer megafactory

[weary perch]

thats what a quitter would say, i have THREE megafactories, one for nuclear, one for oil, and one for everything else (that one is the one with the triplet towers)

[reef basin]

yeah that's not what "megafactory" means

[weary perch]

i'm being silly

[reef basin]

by definition you can't have more than one

[spiral dew]

megafactory = factory so big it takes up all of massage b

[reef basin]

no, megafactory = everything in one place

[spiral dew]

megafactory = so big i can see it from spelevator

[weary perch]

yknow what

megafactory is a giant factory, i think what greeny wants is MONOfactory

[wet dock]

how does the dimensional depot work?

[weary perch]

that's more accurate

[spiral dew]

i unlocked the boombox. its so good

[weary perch]

cause a megafactory is just "big factory", but monofactory would be if everything was ONE ENOURMOUS factory, ya?

latin lessons with TV 💯

[reef basin]

no, the term is quite clearly defined 🙂

[fallen violet]

by who

[reef basin]

community

[fallen violet]

thats far from clearly defined

[stray sorrel]

yea you're not allowed to have different definitions

[wet dock]

is it a different inventory for each item in the dimensional depot?

[shy mulch]

I have a minifactory, a bollocksfactory, and a goosefactory

[reef basin]

but it's how it's used 🙂

[weary perch]

mayhaps omnifactory

[reef basin]

if you want to talk about a big factory, say "big factory" 🙂

but "megafactory" is a term that kinda means oposite of "outposting"

[spiral dew]

#screenshots message i have a largely centralized factory, with only power or alluminum produced offsite. giant main bus spine underneath the city

[grizzled lotus]

I'm in the 3rd biome (the cramped forest?). I'm trying to build my buildings vertically, but I don't know how. how do I build "floors" and similar things?
I'm currently in phase 2

[fallen violet]

megafactory is a big factory. it can have similar characteristics between definitions, like centralisation, but a very far cry from arbitrary rules such as "there can only be one", much less that are "clearly defined"

[stray sorrel]

when i hear megafactory i hear big factory

[reef basin]

yeah well that's not what many people hear 🤷

"megafactory" is a playstyle

[green fiber]

if megafactory was the same people would just say big factory

[fallen violet]

its so used 3 persons here already disagreed with you

[lunar frigate]

if i split one belt of 60 into two, then split one of them again into 15, will the other belt then be 45 per minute? or will it be 30?

[green fiber]

megafactory is used for a reason, isnt it?

[stray sorrel]

and? i dont care how "many people" hear it

[reef basin]

why would we need a word for "big factory"

when we can just say "big factory"

[stray sorrel]

because people can do what they want

[fallen violet]

yeah why we would need a word for big meter, we dont need kilometer

[reef basin]

what

[green fiber]

why would it be 45
60 / 2 = 30 and 30
split one of the belts again and you got 15, 15, and 30 in total
you would need to merge the 15 and the 30 to get 45

[weary perch]

holy shit i just found out i missed an entire oil deposit area

[spiral dew]

#screenshots message someone was adamant that this wasn't a main bus but idk what else it would be in factorio terms

[fallen violet]

literally the same example. mega means big. big factory. you just said why we would need a word that means two words

[lunar frigate]

ah right i'd merge them good point

[reef basin]

"kilo" doesn't mean big though? so how is it same example

[lunar frigate]

reason i asked is because i have 60 p/m production, but i wanted to split off 15 of that throughput into storage

[reef basin]

and "mega" means 10^6

[green fiber]

bus usually means items come off of that belt and and items also go onto it at some other point
do they go off and onto it again at multiple points? or is it just a lot of stuff going from A to B?

[lunar frigate]

i only need 40 for the production im aiming for

[spiral dew]

yes, merged and split many a times across the life of the belts

that way you can re-up ingots supply for example

alluminum was really the only thing i needed to bring more in of though

...so far

[green fiber]

kinda sounds like bus.
if it works for you

[midnight sandal]

https://tenor.com/view/古加-gif-25888225

[spiral dew]

if i go for nuclear, should i try to build it with ficsonium or plutonium?

[reef basin]

you can do it in stages

[spiral dew]

probably need to for the waste yeah?

oh i am gonna need a lot of SAM

[reef basin]

you can store waste

[green fiber]

plutonium processing is needed to "discard" the uranium waste

thats one way to have waste free nuclear first
if you actually wanna use plutonium, you can either store that (as its much more condensed that uranium waste) or you can aim for Ficsonium

[prime wadi]

ok, some time ago I made a nice little coal generator setup in the Snaketree Forest lake. Can I copy that from that world and paste it in my current one?

[shy mulch]

you have to do uranium first
then the uranium waste u can either store or refine into plutoium
then the plutonium u can either sink or send to more reactors
plutonium waste u can then either store (uses a lot less space than uranium waste) or refine further into ficsonium

[lunar frigate]

so smart splitters cant split 60 throughput into 45 and 15

they only do items right

[green fiber]

they have no throughput setting, yes

you can only tell it to filter which item should go where, not how much

[shy mulch]

split 60 into two (30+30) then one of the 30's split into two (15+15) then merge one of the 15s with the other 30

[storm carbon]

Hi, quick question: Do I need to use pumps for gases like nitrogen gas to get it upwards or downwards? (both directions)

[spiral dew]

not for gas no

[storm carbon]

alr thanks

[spiral dew]

mildly useful for limiting slosh I think to have it directional but thats all

[wet dock]

is there any reason not to put a dimensional depot uploader ontop of every resource i have?

[green fiber]

limited amount of spheres

also, some stuff isnt worth having

like iron ore

[spiral dew]

some intermediates like stators too

[wet dock]

i havent even made a factory for stators yet

[spiral dew]

can be kinda useful to pull stuff out of depot for tier unlocks or hard drives

[wet dock]

i see

[spiral dew]

but yeah theres kind of that balance between do you want to spend the orbs on upgrades for depot or more resources as is

[shy mulch]

also for some stuff its useful to have more than 1 depot

[spiral dew]

i only have 1 depot per resource but i also only really produce items in one central factory anyway

[lost wagon]

double wall outlet share the energy between both ends?

[shy mulch]

yes

[wet dock]

so annoying to make a steel factory imo

i havent found a good location yet

[spiral dew]

i ended up doing two - one that does just steel pipe and one steel beam

[south sinew]

where did you start

[wet dock]

the first spawn

dont spoil the map please

[south sinew]

the grassy fields has an excellent steel spot available

[wet dock]

pretty sure i already used the one your thinking off

[south sinew]

if in need of more, there's a secondary steel spot you can use if you use the further-away power spot

[wet dock]

#screenshots message is it this one?

[south sinew]

no

[fringe siren]

Algum br para jogar junto?

[south sinew]

that's really more of a power spot

[wet dock]

yeah ik but there is both coal and iron

oh ok thanks

[faint iris]

what sholud I spend my coupons on early game?

[south sinew]

bottom left green circle, one pure coal node on the island, two normal iron nodes on the mainland right next to it

[wet dock]

btw as of now i have just purchased steel products in the awesome shop

[spiral dew]

boombox for amazing music

[south sinew]

bottom right green circle, one pure coal node high up, two normal iron nodes a bit to the west

[wet dock]

the car

[south sinew]

between those two spots you shouldn't have too much trouble with steel

usually I only use the bottom left spot

[south sinew]

Mostly stuff like conveyor floor hole, ceiling mount, catwalk, and other items of direct value

@wet dock also make sure you're using Solid Steel Ingot, if you don't have that alt, try farming it

[wet dock]

why?

[spiral dew]

better ratios

[south sinew]

yeah it just plain makes more than the default

[shy mulch]

dont spend them on things you can make in factories

[wet dock]

well i didnt have a factory for it yet

[shy mulch]

save them, the coupons become a lot harder to get later, and you'll need a lot if you want statues

[south sinew]

I don't totally agree with that

[wet dock]

ok

[spiral dew]

dna will get you a ton early on too which is nice

[south sinew]

early steel can be useful, for stuff like getting your first SAM/Caterium nodes

it's best to save if you can but not life or death if you spend a few

[peak wasp]

hi, stupid , really stupid, question : industrial container, have 2 O 2 I , if i put 2 convoy in input of 120 each, in output i use both output use 2 convoy of 120 each , auto split 120x2 equals or is random ?

i'm sure the answer is yes XD

[fathom shuttle]

Equal I think, but the top belt stops draining once it becomes empty for me

[peak wasp]

ah 😦

then is best 2x normal container if i need only use it like buffer ?

[shy mulch]

99% of the time when people use buffers its entirely unnecessaryto have a buffer at all

[lime ermine]

Unless it's at a train station

[spiral dew]

reanimated SAM a good use case for drones?

I still haven’t figured out what I want drones for except maybe nuclear (shipping electromagnetic rods)

[leaden ether]

They are great for late game stuff where the quantities are low. THe fuel situation is annoying though. Need to have a sep[erate fuel network setup if you have the destinations all spread out :(

[spiral dew]

Yeah i was thinking about having a dedicated fuel delivery drone system that each would consume from to set up initially

do they have to use batteries or any fuel?

[leaden ether]

Any fuel, I used rocket fuel because I had a huge RF power plant and just bleed off some of it to package and distribute around.

[spiral dew]

sweet. I feel like I had to use batteries when they first came out

[fathom shuttle]

Entirely up to you, if you’re using it at a train station then I’d do 2 belts for the fastest transfer rates

[peak wasp]

is true , but is cool ahahah (for me XD )

[peak wasp]

yup for transfer i used.

now i want use it for give 120x 2 limestone at 2 refinery and the input was from 2 x miner t2

other stupid question, if splitter have a t3 convoy in input(but transport 240 no the max ) and 2x t2 convoy in output , split equals then 120 120 or is "random2 ?

i remeber is split equals

[prime wadi]

in the https://satisfactory-calculator.com/ planner, how do I tell it I only have the Mk1 miner?

[south sinew]

just multiplty the number of miners by four

[junior laurel]

Hehe. I'm just belting teleporting over the world

[reef basin]

[high sonnet]

back to the eternal crashing cycle

game crashed when i was placing the hub and never let me play again, not in this game or a new one

[leaden ether]

Ugh, how am I supposed to merge/split 34 machines into 54 machines. 2 is the only divisor they even come close to sharing and I'm not merging 17 machines to split into 26 :D

[high sonnet]

sometimes i can reach the main menu screen and try to play a new game, another crash

[leaden ether]

Probably have to overclock enough of the 54 machines to reduce their count to 36. I am BLEEDING power shards on this.

[reef basin]

splitter chain

--S--S--S--S--S
  |  |  |  |  |

[leaden ether]

Heh well I can't even merge al the machines any way as that would be 2880 items / min. But any combo of merging and splitting is just all weird numbers that don't split evenly at all (And this is a fluid, not a belt (of course it is))

And the boost necessary to achieve a 34 to 34 (I mistyped 36 above) would require a 158% boost meaning 2x shards per blender -.-

THis is a cursed ratio

[reef basin]

clock them to match ratios

[leaden ether]

Well that's what I was talking about above, but it'll cost me 72 powershards to do it. Unless I underclock the output and reduce my total factory output drastically :(

[reef basin]

you can underclock

and build more

doesn't affect output at all

[wet dock]

does stun rebar deal the same amount of damage as normal rebar?

[tranquil maple]

What color do yalls use for ur RF pipes (besides red thats for my tf pipes)

[undone yarrow]

One thing I've always found curious is the "Sulfur is a rare resource" mentality.

Because yes, by volume it is one of the less common resources, but by use case... What do you actually do exclusively with Sulfur? Power, Weapons and Batteries. (which are a meme now unless you really like the Super State Computer alt)

So spend your sulfur on compacted steel, on leeched caterium, on instant bauxite, you'll run out of usable amounts of other ingredients in power before you run out of sulfur.

[reef basin]

Batteries. (which are a meme now
batteries are fine though?

the "problem" of sulfur usage is people spamming turbofuel (or any TF-based fuel) instead of going nuclear

which obviously means they will have low amounts of available sulfur (but by their own choice)

[tranquil maple]

Well if ur like me and hate aluminum, you use it for instant scrap.

[leaden ether]

TF/RF sulfur usage is pretty low, the limitation is more likely nitrogen. I built a 192 GW RF plant and it only uses a single Mk3 (boosted) pure sulphur node.

It did utilize 100% of a nitrogen field though.

[untold moat]

im curious how power hungry some people's late game factories are...

[leaden ether]

As soon as I can afford the materials to build a couple alien boosters (Well 4) that single plant will probably cover just about any ambitios plan of mine for this run. But I just like having stupid power and never ever having to worry about an entire world wide grid shutdown :D

[undone yarrow]

Actually now I'm kinda curious how Batteries vs Packaged Rocket Fuel stack up per MJ when it comes to production cost... Tied on drone speed...

for the same MJ (6,000 or 1 battery)

Classic Battery needs: .83 copper ore, .82 oil, 1.75 Bauxite 1.5 sulfur

Nitro Rocket Fuel: .83 Bauxite, .42 oil, 1.11 sulfur, .56 coal and .83 nitrogen.

Hmm...

[leaden ether]

I think my total usage on my last save was around 160-180 GW but I was planning on doubling my output on everything this run. so I'll need atleast 300, though well see. I do plan on doing a nuclear plant later in this save.

I have to say I've never really been tempted by NF. But Maybe I just don't go hard enough :)

[undone yarrow]

Nitro is more sulfur and nitrogen for a lot less oil and much much simpler logistics

I hesitantly want to say Rocket > Battery for vehicle fuel unless you're doing something that leaves you strapped for nitrogen.

[winter ruin]

Anyone know how to fix the issue with not being able to turn up the conveyor belt item frequency

[undone yarrow]

Though one point in Battery favor is: 1,200,000 MJ a stack vs Rocket's 720,000 (Ionized is 1,000,000) so slightly less risk of surprise out of fuel

for overclocking, its one power shard per building that you want to overclock yes? like if i wanted to overclock 6 constructers, then i would need 6 power shards?

[reef basin]

depends how much you want to overclock. Each shard gets you up to 50%

up to 3 shards can be placed into a machine

[rigid raven]

but for just one shard in each machine that would be 6 needed

out of curiosity, why do you think that? I'm not meaning to imply that you are wrong, i just want to hear your thought process

[reef basin]

base nuclear is super easy, needs 10 times less gens for same power output and doesn't require you to do insane refinery spam (which many people hate)

(and obviously there's no "wrong" here, we're just stating our opinions, but there's no "best" or "worst" way to play)

[wet dock]

#screenshots message

[reef basin]

and?

[wet dock]

thats what i meant by particle accelerator

[mortal ginkgo]

thats a pioneer accelerator brother. particle accelerator is a late game building

[wet dock]

mb

[mortal ginkgo]

you are a pioneer, not a particle, incase you are curious about the truth

[untold moat]

*player accelerator

[wet dock]

no pioneer accelerator

[untold moat]

oh we are using official FICSIT language, let me put my corpo hat on

[buoyant kettle]

does it matter if i round up or down with the amount of machines i need for a certain item?

[worthy pebble]

They should add a square zoop

[reef basin]

or just build the exact amount by changing clock speed?

[untold moat]

FICSIT does not endorse the idea of Pioneers using high velocity acceleration of their body to slowly explore the map, with each iteration causing a terminal status. The Body Synthesizer is expensive, and all uses of it is deducted from your paycheck, and eliminating the possibility of your annual efficiency bonus.

[mortal ginkgo]

annual efficiency bonus?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooo........................................

[wet dock]

do we even get paid?

#screenshots message is it possible to kill this btw?

[untold moat]

no, but your families do get paid. Your mother does desperately need the money, do you want her to be out on the street? ||this is a joke||

[lusty temple]

Go pet it

[lost wagon]

fuel generator takes awhile to stabilize or something?

[wet dock]

i dont have a jetpack yet

[lusty temple]

They fly on the same path

[untold moat]

fluids can be a bit hinky when you first start, it depends on your layout though

[wet dock]

ok i will pet it

[shy mulch]

Can't kill it. Can only pet it or milk it

[wet dock]

i thought you were joking

i missed it but something popped up

[vagrant oar]

milk it ??

[shy mulch]

manta milk and lizard doggo milk can be mixed in the refinery to improve rocket fuel

[wet dock]

now how does one milk the manta

[shy mulch]

you'll find out, don't want to give too many spoilers

[wet dock]

YOU CAN MILK THE DOGGOS?

[reef basin]

no?

[wet dock]

this is legendary information

[stark solar]

I wonder how much it'd change the game for there to be a late-game add-on to the jetpack that would let you use 4 fuel before landing.

[shy mulch]

wouldn't make a game-changing difference, you can already cover the entire map in one go

I'd imagine there are probably mods that allow jetpack to have unlimited fuel

[wet dock]

IM RIDING THE THINGY

[reef basin]

would make portals less viable

[stark solar]

unlimited fuel would kinda wreck game balance.

Or at least would be quite dramatic a change

[wet dock]

now this is the best way to explore the map

[stark solar]

Use 4 units between landings seems more like the kind of incremental change the devs might actually approve of

[shy mulch]

I already find portals quite pointless, I just have hypertube cannons on a blueprint, got dozens of them dotted around, I use them for transport. I have a few portals but generally don't bother using them much

[reef basin]

hypertube cannons should be removed

for this exact reason

[worthy pebble]

can someone help me get unstuck from my particle accelerator

[shy mulch]

I agree. I overuse them, they really feel like cheating tbh

[untold moat]

in your escape menu, there should be a respawn button

[reef basin]

esc->respawn

[stark solar]

I've never made portals; beat the game a few times, but portals just seemed way too much trouble to keep running

Maybe if portals could have multiple destinations they'd be more worth it

[mortal ginkgo]

I am surprised devs allowed hypertube jumping to begin with and I am more surprised that the hypertube entrance does not have a button prompt.

Sometimes I just get yoinked by my hypertubes 😛

[stark solar]

If the devs really want to embrace hypertube cannons in a sane way, they should let you overclock entrances but remove the serial boost effect

[worthy pebble]

how do i change directions on a junction

[vagrant oar]

hi leon

[mortal ginkgo]

hi aspen

[robust thorn]

i got a ficsit note, smth about playing for 2 hours straight, but it went away.

[reef basin]

I'd rather see a booster buildable, similar to a pump

[vagrant oar]

how's dsp, any interesting news or same old

[stark solar]

greeny: that'd work too

[robust thorn]

anyone know what it could have been

[mortal ginkgo]

abit off topic, this server rules are a bit more strict my friend. regardless, there are news, check their discord

[median shell]

just a break reminder, you can turn them off in settings

[vagrant oar]

aw shucks, I'll check it out when I get the chance, thanks

[robust thorn]

you know where in settings?

nvm, found it

[stark solar]

Options->Gameplay->Notifications

[worthy pebble]

how the hell do the bracnh and junction work

[median shell]

E to change which tube you switch to

[worthy pebble]

bruh thought it was directional

[wet dock]

all the sound effects just dissapeared when walking

nothing makes anysound anymore

[stark solar]

Zyrkon: Sometimes the sound engine crashes; usually bringing up the menu brings it back

[wet dock]

there is sound but just not the sound from machines walking monsters, just ambience

[stark solar]

(I assume that's what's happening, but it's just a guess)

[wet dock]

also weapons and interacting makes sound

[stark solar]

Try hitting start and then go back to the game. It might help.

[wet dock]

ok reloading the game worked thanks

[stark solar]

You may not have needed to go that far, but if it worked, great

[wet dock]

well nothing else worked

[worthy pebble]

should i try to fit multiple truck paths on one road or no

[wet dock]

i would say no because they can collide

[worthy pebble]

thats what i was thinking

[wet dock]

make the road wider

[worthy pebble]

or build more

[stark solar]

I thought they had an update where automated vehicles won't collide anymore

[wet dock]

how do i spawn the ficsit factory cart

[wet dock]

well they collide with me if i drive infront of them so i was just guessing

[stark solar]

After you buy one, it's in the rewards section of the store.

you can transfer it from there to your inventory

[wet dock]

it isnt in the "purchases" part

[stark solar]

You're sure you bought one?

[wet dock]

#screenshots message pretty sure

oh i think i know

[fierce granite]

check the equipment workshop

[lime ermine]

You need to craft it in the equipment workshop

[wet dock]

yeah found out just now

[stark solar]

Oh, darn. Sorry. I had forgotten that needs crafting.

[gloomy heart]

can't decide on starting location :I ideas?

[stark solar]

Meri: Between one of the starting 4, or someplace else?

[reef basin]

roll a dice

[worthy pebble]

what is that item called

[stark solar]

Desert Dune is pretty nice. If you're up for a huge challenge, try starting in the swamp. If you want a moderately rich and challenging time, the blue crater would be interesting

[worthy pebble]

what is it called

[lime ermine]

The factory cart?

[worthy pebble]

no the thing that stops vehicle collision

what dachte was talking about

[stark solar]

Oh, I thought it was just an update they did sometime back so automated routes won't collide

It's not an item

[thin pilot]

I never thought starting phase 3 of space elevator would be so difficult I don’t have enough power to being to attempt to make the rubber/plastic to research for oil electricity production😭

[stark solar]

Ahh, there is nothing more satisfying than finally unlocking rocket fuel. Suddenly power almost entirely stops being a problem.

[worthy pebble]

how do i get mods?

[stark solar]

go visit ficsit.app

[half scaffold]

Ok, is it me, or there like mirages or something? More than once I swear I see a crash site or mercer sphere in the distance only to go there and find nothing.

[stark solar]

The low-res textures don't get updated and often show outdated info in such cases

There's a bug on it on the QA site: https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/68017a186b7c573196367a59

[worthy pebble]

theres a mod that gets rid of collisions between vehicles and its amazing

[plush trellis]

Anybody figured out an easy way to identify which smart/etc splitter/prio merger port is which when it's snapped onto a lift?

[worthy pebble]

if conveyors are overlayed

[stark solar]

So so good to lead one of those giant spiders into a fight with a giant hog

[worthy pebble]

the one thats not yellow is the one its on

[winter ruin]

Is making and burning 10k fuel/min worth it for the 125GW?

[stark solar]

Cade: Regular fuel?

[winter ruin]

Yeah

[stark solar]

Generally better to convert to turbofuel or rocket fuel first

[winter ruin]

Not happening lol

its gonna take long enough just for the fuel

and the amount of coal and sulfur required would be alot

[stark solar]

Hm. I'm not used to thinking about base fuel once I'm really going for a lot of power.

Base fuel is so bad, comparatively

[winter ruin]

When making so much of it using alts its actually not to bad im realising

[stark solar]

Hopefully you're at least using diluted fuel as an intermediate

Or do you not want to manage water either?

(to be clear, not meaning this as an insult; if this is what you want to build, go for it)

[winter ruin]

Im using heavy oil residue then diluted packaged fuel

I'm gonna recycle containers and in total I will need around 1920 oil/min to make the 10000 fuel/min

[stark solar]

Ah, ok. Is that actually more efficient than the diluted fuel recipe?

[winter ruin]

Its the same

[stark solar]

I haven't checked - have never used diluted packaged

[winter ruin]

The diluted packeged fuel is just an earlier game option the used packaged water in the refinery

The only downside is needing to package water and unpackage fuel

[stark solar]

Oh, does this mean you're not at the stage in the tech tree to unlock diluted fuel?

Ah, right, you'd need blenders.

[winter ruin]

Yeah we are currently in tier 6

[stark solar]

And you need that much power in tier 6?

[winter ruin]

Nah

cool factor

[stark solar]

Ah, fair! Actually all this seems reasonable if you're doing it for the cool factor.

Sorry then! Don't want to cramp your style, and this is hella stylish

I imagine getting all that packaging/unpackaging working smoothly won't be easy

[winter ruin]

Gonna need 167 packagers just to unpackage fuel

[leaden acorn]

Y'know speaking of cool factor, has anyone ever managed to make a factory complex so big that it encapsulates the entire world map?

[stark solar]

Troll: Probably that'd go over the object limit

[winter ruin]

I managed to make one that bricked a save but never heard of that

[stark solar]

There's a limit to how many objects the game can track. It's big, but not infinite

[leaden acorn]

Would it help if you could cut down on the amount of conveyor belts?

[winter ruin]

cutting down on anything would help

[stark solar]

I think anything spanning the entire map would run into issues.

[winter ruin]

You could use alternates and or overclocking to reduce machines meaning less buildings and conveyors

Im gonna have to build 500 fuel generators soon so I might have to overclock to cut down on that

[leaden acorn]

I just wanna know if it's possible to use all possible resources on the map all at once. As in, all the ore veins and stuff.

[stark solar]

Oh, that's entirely possible

Many people have done it.

(it's a lot of work though)

[worthy pebble]

is a cap of 4.4 GW good for right after phase 2

[leaden ether]

I wonder how much space a solid single floor mega factory would take up. At least one warp drive/min and +10 of all buildable items (Actually I guess since that was pretty much my last save I could calculate all the floorspace used)

[winter ruin]

I would reccomend 10 - 20GW

maybe even 30GW

[worthy pebble]

thanks

[feral jay]

Power in this game is like violence

If you're not sure, use more

[winter ruin]

real

125GW in tier 6 is not gonna be fun but so worth it

[worthy pebble]

i find making big factories fun unless it looks like this #screenshots

[half scaffold]

Thanks... I thought I was going crazy. Wasted 2h chasing these 4 down :/

[sharp sentinel]

Woo! First playthrough where I fully upgraded my DD!

[worthy pebble]

i swear if i have to put another anything at 66.6667% again im losing it

[feral jay]

This game has designated drivers?

[worthy pebble]

@lusty temple the way the spawning works #screenshots

it sucks

[lusty temple]

So move the whole build

[worthy pebble]

up to you

[lusty temple]

Glad Im not on the second floor yet

[fallow adder]

anyone got a ballin 240 iron ore input rotor factory?

I have gotten to the point where everything is rods

and now my head hurts

[lusty temple]

Is it normal to have multiple different saves?

[winter ruin]

In total or playing at once?

[lusty temple]

at once, I feel like Ive learned so much more that I can easily start a new build and play both

theres a lot of stuff that I can stream line if I just start over

[winter ruin]

Early game I would say yes because there is so much to learn

Once your more experienced I would reccomend sticking to just 1 save at a time

[lusty temple]

I mean Im almost 100 hours into this save

[sharp sentinel]

I only started a new save because ADA got new voicelines and I needed to hear them.

[winter ruin]

I got burnt out and bricked my last save so that why I started another one

[cloud crown]

Bricked?!

[wicked mango]

#screenshots any advice for my train station? im thinking of switching to pure copper alternate and duplicating my 5-3 load balancer to get 6 belts of ingots instead of ore... or i could balance at the miners instead

[winter ruin]

yeah, playable for maybe 5 - 10 minutes before crashing and requiring a full pc restart

I think it was also partially an issue going updating from 1.0 to 1.1 as thats when it started

[cloud crown]

Interesting

[next meadow]

Where's the big pond that people normally build coal generators at?

Like north of the first starting area

[cloud crown]

Right besides the spooky forest the big one I'll guess

[winter ruin]

#screenshots

[next meadow]

I mean where on the map

[lost wagon]

damn I will need to start really small after Phase 2, most factories uses like 1.5GW just that one factory

packaging and unpackaging stuff must be really efficient, because satisfactory tools tells me to do that in every factory

[neon jay]

Is there any info on 1.2? or DLC plans? or is this too early to tell?

[lament niche]

middle of the map

[lament niche]

no announced plans yet

[azure cape]

anyone know why my pipes arent full and my refineries arent receiving enough oil? im new to liquids other than a simple coal generator https://discordapp.com/channels/370472939054956546/553257340108013568/1389049702565281863

i have two 150/min pipes with another refinery making 60/min split into each pipe for a total of 180/min in each pipe

[leaden ether]

You got some LOOOONG pipes ther and are filling them with a very slow /min rate. It may just take a while to fill

[azure cape]

ahh

yeah i wouldve had the factory closer but i had a huge platform i wasnt using that i wanted to use

[dense violet]

clock a couple refineries to 50% until it's all full

[feral jay]

FUll pipes are happy pipes

[azure cape]

or should i just take it offline to let them all fill up?

[dense violet]

oh long pipes will take extra forever. Use fluids near the source to make it easier on yourlsef

[dense violet]

nah just under clock a bit is fine

[feral jay]

Generally bring stuff to the water, not water to the stuff

[azure cape]

yeahhhhh i didnt know how difficult pipes were until today lmfao

[dense violet]

they aren't difficult unless you make them difficult 🙂

[feral jay]

Kinda like making a hollandaise sauce

Once you know how, you wonder how it ever seemed difficult

And even then, you still fuck it up once in a while

[azure cape]

yeah this is my first oil factory so i didnt realize how far it was lmfao

im used to conveyors just moving stuff at an even pace

[gritty phoenix]

how come almost no one is currently playing satisfactory when there on the satisfactory server

bye bye now

[prisma forge]

I somehow messed up the order of limestone and coal when setting up my railway system, only to end up realizing I also somehow accidentally corrected it

[fresh wharf]

The plastic recipe shows 20 plastic per minute and 20 heavy oil residue per minute. This doesn't make sense as it creates 2 plastic and 1 heavy oil residue per transformation. How come they both have the same production rate?

[fathom shuttle]

What is bro on about

[prisma forge]

who knows

[fresh wharf]

Do you want me to simplify it

[cyan garnet]

Recipe is 20 plastic and 10 HOR per minute

[fresh wharf]

Shows 20 HOR per minute for me

[cyan garnet]

2 plastic and 1 HOR per batch (every 6 seconds)

!wikisearch plastic

[fossil ice]

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

[cloud crown]

Screenshot or it didn't happen

[fresh wharf]

Okay wait

[prisma forge]

alright, it's time for me to settle up the last railway system, and the get the train running to the megafactory. Can't wait!

[fathom shuttle]

It’s 10/min HOR

Bro was not cooking

[cloud crown]

Cooking with HOR? No way only the finest Turbo for the kitchen

[fresh wharf]

I had two power shards on I'm so ed 💔💔

[versed mirage]

whats the difference between capacity and max consumption im producing 600kw but my max consumption is 150

is there anyway i can fully use the 600kw or

[fresh wharf]

...yes by using more machines

[raw dragon]

Getting back into the game on a fresh world and I am lost again

[fathom shuttle]

On bio burners prosuction matches consumption

[feral jay]

North is up

[versed mirage]

as in more generators or just use more power

[cloud crown]

Production is production
Max consumption is what your machines will use if they turned on at the same time usually the mark to beat

[fresh wharf]

You're making 600 kW and your machines need 150 kW
Whats the problem

[versed mirage]

oh yea i get it

[fathom shuttle]

Anyways, I’m building my HMF and I think I’m gonna double it and give it to my self I’m not dismantling my existing machines

[raw dragon]

That's about the only thing I can see as the same since last time I got on haha

[spiral dew]

so...||ficsite|| ingot with aluminum or iron?

[shy fog]

when in doubt make spaghetti

when in more doubt make BIGGER spaghetti

when in maximum doubt "Hey there it's Josh"

[fresh wharf]

Aluminum
30 per minute

[spiral dew]

figured thats probably the best for saving sam

[fresh wharf]

It's not like SAM is the most expensive thing ever anyways lol

[leaden acorn]

Hey I have a question, if you're still using biomass burners for your power grid, would it be a good idea to use that power grid of biomass burners to power your biomass automation, that fuels your biomass burner power grid?

[spiral dew]

yeah biomass automation is nice

just throw leaves/wood in a container and let it be

[fresh wharf]

How did you even automate biomass

I don't think that's a thing

[feral jay]

You can automate everything except the collection of the raw materials

[shy fog]

biomass burners not attached to the hub have inputs now

[fresh wharf]

Oh yeah, forgot automatic and autonomous aren't the same thing

[shy fog]

you can toss all the biomatter into bins to let the factory factory it

[spiral dew]

coated concrete is GOAT

so shiny

[sharp sentinel]

The fact that I put real effort into this playthrough and didn't try to handcraft everything is wild. I've never once had frames or heavy modular frames at the point I had excess stacks to get rid of like this.

[leaden acorn]

Well you still have to go collect the wood and leaves, but after that you just throw the wood and leaves into separate storage containers, which are fed into constructors to make biomass, then into more constructors to make solid biofuel, which then gets fed into 45 biomass burners to be 100% efficient.

[sharp sentinel]

There's someone in here who has every part of that process slooped for some reason.

[feral jay]

But if you're not doing like me, and stockpiling millions upon millions of liquid biofuel, you're doing it wrong.

My way is the only way

[fresh wharf]

By the time you unlock liquid biofuel I think you have coal and fuel

[elder apex]

i'm stockpiling on nukes, therefore I will have no problems taking your biofuel stockpile when the time comes

[sharp sentinel]

Biofuel is the best for the jetpack.

[feral jay]

That is irrelevant. Stockpile ALL the fuel.

[leaden acorn]

I can't even get liquid biofuel, just the solid stuff. Which makes sense, cause I haven't even built the space elevator yet.

[fresh wharf]

Really?

[feral jay]

Well, "best" is subjective, but it lasts the longest

[sharp sentinel]

It burns slower so you get more distance. You just don't ascend as rapidly as you would with other fuels.

I briefly toyed with swapping fuel midair. I do not suggest this.

[feral jay]

Rocket fuel gets you the hell out of doge a lot faster, if you're fighting stuff

There, unlocked hypertubes, I've got a bit of MAM stuff and awesome shop stuff to buy, but well on my way now
