satisfactory

[rustic hare]

power plants do consume and generate linearly as it's overclocked and underclocked though which will catch you off guard at first

[mortal ginkgo]

New Meta: All buildings at 5% power

[fluid sapphire]

Literally me

[mortal ginkgo]

fr fr

[surreal ingot]

I can’t wait until I finally get to power plant

[mortal ginkgo]

hot take: it should waste fuel when overclocked

[whole drum]

https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Clock_speed

This has a chart that shows you

[rustic hare]

btw, if you guys haven't: trap and kill a space elephant, ADA will speak up for the animal lol

[viral tendon]

Just for turbo and rocket fuel users tho

Any other fuel should be alright

[mortal ginkgo]

Yes, because nuclear gives waste.

[viral tendon]

Fuckass waste

[mortal ginkgo]

its alpha male energy waste

only alpha males can handle it

or they can stay "Imma spam 204923849508734058039 fuel gens" soyboy.

[viral tendon]

Welp i did by making 360 industraial containers for plut waste

[whole drum]

Imagine settling for being an alpha when you could be a deity instead. Nuke peasantry is disgusting.

[median tusk]

Whats like the best fuel for Biomass burner for early game?

[mortal ginkgo]

solid biofuel

[whole drum]

Solid

[hard ivy]

solid

[viral tendon]

For rocket fuel you just need to spam machines using blueprints made by other rocket fuel users

[median tusk]

wth is that

[drowsy rock]

can the jetpack use fuel in the dimension storage

[rustic hare]

process it just to put into the plant again, then process the waste again, just to put into the plant, again lmao

[viral tendon]

But if you're doing nuclear you actually need to do something about waste instead of just placing shit

[rustic hare]

no

[mortal ginkgo]

funny how it is always the same boring "4 fuel gens".

[whole drum]

When you make biofuel from leaves/wood, you can further refine it for Solid Biomass

[fluid sapphire]

No, just keep a stack in inventory

[drowsy rock]

your able to take it out of the dimension sotrage though right

[median tusk]

oh aight

[viral tendon]

Yaay 250 fuel gens with 1000 efiniries yaaay love it

[rustic hare]

yes, a stack at a time

[fluid sapphire]

Well yeah

[mortal ginkgo]

which can go truly chaotic at last stage. Considering you can't see the complexity, I think you are a soy.

[drowsy rock]

bettt

[viral tendon]

Can't be any more boring

[mortal ginkgo]

refineries are best buildings ever /s

[median tusk]

i'm currently tier 1 just started playing this morning

[whole drum]

No problem. You may not have unlocked it yet.

[viral tendon]

Refiniers are good unless they're used for rocket fuel

[mortal ginkgo]

🙂‍↕️

[rustic hare]

I'm at tier 6, spare me I have heard of how much of a pain it is to recycle nuclear waste, I'd prob just sink the plutonium

[whole drum]

You need to do research in the MAM for it, iirc

[median tusk]

its tier 2 so yea

[median tusk]

Okayyy will do

[valid lark]

Hi! Is anyone else having its PC turned off by satisfactory? It only happens with this games, it inmediately shuts off, no warning

[mortal ginkgo]

Dont worry bro, I personally cant handle 10 fuel gens properly and talking big in internets. Kek.

I will probably gonna get a nuclear meltdown with 2 nuclear power plants lols

[whole drum]

Sounds like your CPU/GPU are overdrawing your power supply. Shut off is a safety mechanism.

Try turning your settings down

[mortal ginkgo]

overheating issue possibly. this game can be demanding on both GPU and CPU

[valid lark]

It never happened before tho, only with the last update

[viral egret]

#screenshots message this is not very satisfactory...

[whole drum]

Last update made some changes that are a little harder on the sys reqs

[valid lark]

Checked that too, but it happens as soon as booting the game, so no time for overheating

[whole drum]

If it's not performance related, try verifying Steam files

[mortal ginkgo]

Sounds like a "power supply" issue to me.

[valid lark]

1.1? I played that on the beta with no problems, it started to happen a couple days ago when something downloaded. Tried reinstalling the whole game (lost my save too since it doesnt sync)

[fathom shuttle]

The PA for nuclear pasta is 1GW average right?

[whole drum]

Troubleshoot everything you can about the game first. If that doesn't work, it could be your BIOS or other settings. If that doesn't work, it could be hardware failure.

[fathom shuttle]

I’m building 20 rn

[valid lark]

Its weird since it only happens in satisfactory. I can play other demanding games with no problem, but yeah I will try to troubleshoot it, thanks

[willow dawn]

Ok another day another person with pipe issues. A section of my pipes (all MK1) is not getting ANY fuel while the section before is completely full

[fathom shuttle]

We need more context than that

[viral tendon]

Headlift maybe, pumps maybe, try to replace pipe

[willow dawn]

All the same level

[whole drum]

Remove/Rebuild the empty pipes

[willow dawn]

Tried that

[viral tendon]

Or did you

[whole drum]

Do it for the last full pipe section too

[mortal ginkgo]

"windows game bar crashing" is what some people are reporting

do you have some sort of thing like that?

[fathom shuttle]

How much are you making and how much are you consuming

[whole drum]

So glad to not be on Windows anymore

[valid lark]

I dont know whats that, Im on linux haha

[mortal ginkgo]

its not a Windows thing but an Xbox

[fathom shuttle]

AMD GPU?

[valid lark]

Yes: XFX SPEEDSTER QICK319 AMD Radeon RX 6750XT 12GB GDDR6

[whole drum]

Xbox is part of M$, which Windows also is, so all more or less the same to me lol

[willow dawn]

200 on both questions and it's all equally needed among my gennies

[fathom shuttle]

I mean obviously because your name is navi but anyway you’ll probably need to contact support or post on a linux gaming forum

[willow dawn]

so 40 for each of my 5

[fathom shuttle]

No one here has the technical knowledge/experience with Linux

[valid lark]

What else is Navi from? I did pick this username because of Zelda xD

[fathom shuttle]

Open a thread in #1038092680493801533 you might find help there

[rustic hare]

my current fuel gen layout, 3GW/5gens using diluted packaged fuel recipe #screenshots message

[fathom shuttle]

Navi is what AMD calls their gaming GPU chips, like navi48, 44 etc

[valid lark]

Oh lol, I did not know that. I dont have much knowledge related to components or systems tho

[fathom shuttle]

Any yellow light? Other than the ones that are not getting fuel

[willow dawn]

All the ones not getting fuel are red

[whole drum]

Keep your pipe junctions, pumps, and similar in place, but replace all the actual pipe

[fathom shuttle]

Try reconnecting all the pipes, sometimes the pipes bug out and don’t connect properly like with supports

[willow dawn]

They never got a drop

[fathom shuttle]

are you sure they are connected to power?

Or did you set the wrong fuel preference

[rustic hare]

btw is joining your game via multiplayer a valid way to diagnose problems and help people out here?

[willow dawn]

Ok I will just replace the entire pipe network and hope that stops it

[willow dawn]

Yes

[fathom shuttle]

Check the fuel you picked

[willow dawn]

Also yes

[whole drum]

If they let you, I don't see why not

[rustic hare]

@willow dawn if your problem haven't been resolved yet, mind if I join? I want to know what's going on too lol

[fathom shuttle]

That’s weird, go to the power pole you’re connecting the fuel generators with and check the power consumption

[left moss]

sorry for interrupting, but is it possible to kill those toxic gas emitting plant like creatures?

[hard ivy]

explosives

[fathom shuttle]

Yes you need bombs

[whole drum]

Yes

[viral tendon]

Guys it's 33c outside do you think my dog will survive going for a walk???

[left moss]

thank you

[viral tendon]

Nobelisks

[whole drum]

Probably, but you may ont

[wary parrot]

whats a power slug

[fathom shuttle]

Also just replace the pipes downstream of the problematic fuel generators

Not the whole thing

[wary parrot]

bring water

[willow dawn]

Replaced the entire line and now it seems all the pipes are getting fuel 🙂

[rustic hare]

do you want to be spoiled to the game content? if not, find it, reasearch it in the MAM

[whole drum]

That was my first suggestion

[viral tendon]

It's breed is very volnurable for heat

[willow dawn]

Thanks for the tips everybody!

[median tusk]

How do i scan fruits?

[wary parrot]

ok not unlocked mam yet but will try

[willow dawn]

Now lets hope the gennies don't slosh when I turn them on

[fathom shuttle]

Yea probably a bugged line then, wait until it fills up and it should work

[viral tendon]

That mothefucker won't drink but he's trying to get on the hands of other people

[whole drum]

Research it in the MAM

[median tusk]

ye i did, but its still only showing Ores when i press V

[rustic hare]

you use the hand held scanner (object scanner)

[whole drum]

Did you build the object scanner?

[median tusk]

oh no

mb gang

[whole drum]

Np

[mortal ginkgo]

The fact that we can't reorder the object scanner items triggers me greatly.

[white dawn]

Honestly, it's sort of not worth the effort to scan for fruit anyway; you'll spend more time trying to interpret the scanner than you would just wandering aimlessly and stumbling on some

[whole drum]

I'm gonna play a little Siralim before I stream in a few hours

[whole drum]

I never really use the scanner until deep endgame for hard drives

[willow dawn]

EUREKA! Another 3kMW power for me to play with

[white dawn]

I mostly just use it for spheres/sloops; I've found that in general by the time the scanner picks up a hard drive, you can usually see the crash site anyway

[pliant prawn]

Is there a way to stop drifting in theHover pack? Air brakes at all?

[rustic hare]

it had helped me find some crash sites that are really high and out of sight

[willow dawn]

You can scan for hd's? I can't do that yet

[whole drum]

Mostly true, but it helps in the jungles and crevasses full of caves and such

[fathom shuttle]

Learn how to strafe

[rustic hare]

it's in the quartz tree iirc

[white dawn]

Eventually, yes -- need to unlock the ability in the MAM though

[pliant prawn]

not sure how thats suppose to help?

[willow dawn]

Thanks, I'll take another look

[fluid sapphire]

If you use toggle sprint option, just toggle sprint off when you need more precision

Quicker to stop

[white dawn]

The exact answer to the question is: no, there's no way to stop that drift. But you can get used to it with practice, hence "learn to strafe." :)

[whole drum]

That's more like "adapt"

[fathom shuttle]

That’s literally how you cancel out the movement from the hoverpack lol

[hard ivy]

A "kMW" doesn't exist. 1000 MW is a GW

[willow dawn]

Let me rephrase, 3k MW

[fathom shuttle]

So just say 3GW

[hard ivy]

That's still 3 GW

[mortal ginkgo]

Nothing wrong with saying 3k MW. Some people are just picky lols.

[hard ivy]

Putting a k after a number is technically not correct either

[fathom shuttle]

We are properly teaching people what they didn’t learn in school out here

[mortal ginkgo]

Maybe do so if they are requesting it so it doesn't have the backwards effect.

[pliant prawn]

ive been learning for a month and I'm just over it lol. Tired of misclicking when that last bit of drift bumps the holo over. @fluid sapphire had the only useful advice today for this one haha. Cheers.

[mortal ginkgo]

This is a silly factory game, not teaching stuff game.

[willow dawn]

Its saying it went from 4.500 MW to 7.500 MW

[fathom shuttle]

I’m a gigachad so this doesn’t affect me

[red sun]

WHO CARES we know what they meant

[mortal ginkgo]

Some folks in this discord server can not grasp it for some reason.

I think they would explode if someone says "your" wrong etc.

[hard ivy]

Yeah, we know until someone pulls out pm or P/M and it takes me several minutes to figure out they meant /min

[whole drum]

Reddit mod energy up in here

[mortal ginkgo]

For some reason this all suddenly makes total sense.

[viral egret]

#screenshots message this is much more satisfactory

[red sun]

i mean if that took you several minutes to figure out it sounds like a you problem

[left moss]

||I was doing some research on some purple rocks and my ai got corrupted by what I think is a forgotten alien empire? anyways they said my bones were ugly so that's odd|| spoilers for games lore I think

[rustic hare]

my mind maps pm to polymaker by now lol

[mortal ginkgo]

you are just a bit chubby.

[fluid sapphire]

Much better frfr

[rustic hare]

enjoy it

[whole drum]

I juse prefer p/m because it looks clearer/cleaner, but I know what people mean with pm

[fathom shuttle]

Konichua so this bigoted name calling of people “Reddit mods” is actually very harmful and toxic you need to stop being antismetic thank very much for you attention!
this post has been fact checked by real american patriots

[hard ivy]

It annoys me in Factorio too. They use /m to mean /min, which is incorrect, and then in some places I wonder if they mean per minute or per meter, because meters are in the game too.

Just use the correct units ffs it's not that hard

[red sun]

a true reddit mod would have deleted that message and banned them immediately

[fluid sapphire]

Thank you for your attention to this matter!

[mortal ginkgo]

Some people have really small things to get annoyed at and for some reason they need to annoy people back to feel better about themselves.

[red sun]

"read the rules" and neglecting to tell you which rule you broke

[whole drum]

Stop guys, I'm dying! 🤣

[fathom shuttle]

I never knew that, you’re telling me that for the first time

[red sun]

erm, RTFM 🤓 ☝️

[willow dawn]

Please don't ban me, I just read out what it said in the game... ban ADA!

[mortal ginkgo]

the person would be autobanned for being in another sub-reddit that mod hates so there is that too.

time goes backwards for reddit mods

[whole drum]

PEBKAC

[hard ivy]

How is it cleaner when it's incorrect for 2 different reasons?

[fathom shuttle]

500 mods moderate 95% of subreddit btw

[whole drum]

It makes more sense

[viral egret]

just found out i did all of my mining rigs on impure nodes...
i hate my life

[red sun]

incorrect
closed as duplicate of #nobody-cares

[hard ivy]

No it does not. What the hell is even the p in there?

[whole drum]

And they spend their days moderating each other

[fathom shuttle]

So the Reddit mod stereotype is literally inferred by like a conference worth of guys lmao and they actually live like that

[mortal ginkgo]

pee, obviously

[viral tendon]

]

[whole drum]

"per" as a stand in for whatever unit you are referencing

[hard ivy]

The / means per. Try again

[mortal ginkgo]

I am glad people are not talking about screws btw. That double triggers people to say "cast screws is a good early recipe and it is fine to make screws late game to a fair amount".

[red sun]

Xpm or X/min makes the most sense to me

[hard ivy]

"per per meter" truly makes more sense than "per minute"

[rustic hare]

that's something ADA doesn't teach you directly, it hurts when you do realize it tho

[whole drum]

Only if you read the / as "per," which many don't

Technically correct or otherwise

[red sun]

i shall repeat

who cares

[viral tendon]

Guys so i did a little bit of math that's very important because i couldn't find the solutionto the problem, so i needed a little bit of power and i couldn't do the math proeperly with all those overclocking things so i couldn't get what i needed, idk if y'all had the same issue, but anyways, it took me like 4 days to do that, so it's about coal gens, see, they're very specific and work quite like others but if you overclock them right, then they'll be different, so, the final math i did is 1 water extractor can power 1 200% overclocked coal gen, thank you

[viral egret]

well, it just means one smelter per miner, no?

[mortal ginkgo]

indeed it is not wildly known but when someone says 60/min, people get it.

because people are not stupid, which is not what that Kyo and alike doesn't get, ironically.

[hard ivy]

What else do you read it as? It's literally how all units work

[rustic hare]

but you get half the resources for the same power put in

[viral egret]

ehh, i just need reinforced plates on demand

[viral tendon]

Who are many

[whole drum]

The many who also write "p/m"

[viral tendon]

What many

[hard ivy]

Yeah, you're literally the first person who said that

No normal person fucking does that

[viral tendon]

Can you show the many

[rustic hare]

it'll suck when you start scaling up and needing more types of items tho

[viral tendon]

Like are the many people in the same room with us

[red sun]

oml fellas behave yourselves

[whole drum]

I didn't know this was the only place people talk about the game. Weird.

[mortal ginkgo]

Yes, we are all exactly in the same room as we speak.

[red sun]

i'll bang your heads together

[viral tendon]

Fair enough thank you

[rustic hare]

whoever thought of using signs as light sources, god bless you

[whole drum]

I just know I wasn't the "first person" to do it because I wasn't the one who originally brought it up, lol

[fluid sapphire]

It was me, you're welcome

[dense violet]

you mean everyone who put up a sign and saw it shone light? 😛

[mortal ginkgo]

I did. 🙂

[red sun]

t'was me

[mortal ginkgo]

no ur mom

[fathom shuttle]

Me when I remember that I need to automate filters for the 200th time

I hate filters they make me depressed

[whole drum]

And then get distracted and fail to... again?

[fluid sapphire]

Why would you need to do it 200 times

[fathom shuttle]

Nope I just keep putting it off because it’s gonna be annoying

[rustic hare]

I haven't even used up the 20 filters I made when I first researched it

[whole drum]

Once you have the oil->fabric recipe, it's relatively painless

I was just assuming you mean to and then forget like I did a dozen times, lol

[fluid sapphire]

I wouldn't even bother until you have spare polymer resin cooking somewhere

[whole drum]

I usually don't even bother with filters until I need them for the radiation filters

[sharp bay]

i mean before you can even automate it you can just blow up the gas pillars

[whole drum]

Anything that can produce poison just gets

[sharp bay]

[rustic hare]

ohh, there are radiation filters?

[mortal ginkgo]

filters saving you from constantly needing to explode them but also alpha stingers produce poison too so

[sharp bay]

tier 8 (or 7 i forgot)

[haughty flax]

Nearing completion of phase 4 and i can see the benefit of satellite factories. What do u guys commonly dedicate a factory to? Computers?

[whole drum]

[rustic hare]

those die pretty quickly anyways, it's not like you can see anything in the smoke to combat with it, the time spent in there would not be of importance

[mortal ginkgo]

alpha stingers die quick? D:

[sharp bay]

you trying to fight it with a xeno basher?

[mortal ginkgo]

Trusty Rebar Gun

[sharp bay]

[rustic hare]

yeah, as long as you land your explosive rebar shots, it takes like 8-12 shots smth I don't remember, it haven't even dealt any damage to me

[sharp bay]

that's not very "quickly"

[whole drum]

Protip: If you use clusternobs and land it under the enemy when you detonate it, it will 'shotgun' them. You can kill really tough things in one go that way.

[mortal ginkgo]

Listen, that PINK FOREST looked cute.

So I thought it was SAFE. Because it was CUTE.

CUTE = SAFE I THOUGHT.

I WAS WRONG BROTHERMAN

[rustic hare]

not getting damaged is quickly imo

[sharp bay]

same experience here

atleast the swamp looks dangerous
it IS dangerous

[whole drum]

Less dangerous than pink trees

[rustic hare]

alpha stinger is the tier 3 green shit smth right?

[sharp bay]

tier 3 green shit smth?

[mortal ginkgo]

I watched someone trying to res their friend from 20 Stingers with various sizes in reddit. It was hilarous and I am surely not going there without anything nuclear.

[sharp bay]

i go there for the loot

[rustic hare]

it's the 3rd variant of the stinger I saw, so I named it tier 3, and it's green soo tier 3 green shit smth

[sharp bay]

alpha stingers is the name for the tier 2 ones
tier 3 is gas spider or something

[whole drum]

There are small stingers, large stingers, toxic, radioactive... not sure if others. Idr

[sharp bay]

there's no radioactive spooders

[rustic hare]

oh, so the one that I said die fast is the gas spider lol.. the alpha tier 2 is wayy too easy to kill

[mortal ginkgo]

smol, large, CHUNGUS GREEN POISON FU INPARTICULAR

these are the versions

[whole drum]

Maybe misremembering then. I know I've taken rads while fighting them, but could have been environmental

[mortal ginkgo]

yeah there are some uranium chunks around where they are too

[sharp bay]

well they are usually found near uranium

[rustic hare]

explosive rebar clears, anything but the hatcher, those are resistant to explosive as hell

[mortal ginkgo]

I got the regular rebar gun ammo so blz

[sharp bay]

i strapped about 50 cluster bombs on an elite hatcher for fun
it died before i could blow it up

[rustic hare]

lmao

[sharp bay]

very disappointing

[mortal ginkgo]

I still remember the first jumpscare from a large stinger that I ran over with my tractor and I thought "heh ez loot git gud brotherman lols".

Then it stood up from being a ragdolled lay down state and I was BRUH

[rustic hare]

how did it die?

[sharp bay]

throwing bombs deals damage

THROWING not exploding

[surreal ingot]

Now I gotta figure out how to 100% wires and copper sheets

[rustic hare]

my brother got chased by the tier 2 spider, he jumped everywhere but goddamn that shit pursuits

[whole drum]

Spiders are the best designed enemy, but the worst to encounter

[sharp bay]

pov: you explore the map before tier 6 for jetpacks

[rustic hare]

I just learn to jump boost every time it jump now, so it'll miss, I'll turn back and land a shot

[mortal ginkgo]

Hot take but the worst part of the jumping is that sometimes Jumping + Biting animation overrides each other yet still do damage. So you get double damage.

[sharp bay]

SO THAT'S WHY I GET NEARLY 1 SHOT BY ONE SOMETIMES

[rustic hare]

the enemies are designed better than the lizard doggos, those babies keep clipping into the ground dammit

[sharp bay]

they never did for me

[mortal ginkgo]

Yep, I am an Unreal Dev myself so I can see it literally clear how the motion of stinger attack starts for a few frames but gets replaced by the "Jump Land" animation.

So double damage.

[rustic hare]

I had to use the calulator save editor to pull them out of the ground

[surreal ingot]

So I need…

3 smelters, 2 constructors making wires and 3 constructors making copper sheets right?

[sharp bay]

ngl i think i should work on the aesthetics of my factories
they look like doodoo rn

[mortal ginkgo]

yes please

[rustic hare]

I just started working on that a few days ago

build time went from 1hr/factory to 5hr+

[mortal ginkgo]

just 5?

It can take days for me to properly make blueprints etc

[sharp bay]

i just unlocked the hoverpack recently so it should be much easier

[mortal ginkgo]

And ı am not even good at it

[whole drum]

Maybe that why it takes days 😉

[mortal ginkgo]

DEEPEST LORE CONFIRMED 100%

[sharp bay]

i'll probably do it after finishing my heavy modular frame factory and aluminum

and computers?

[rustic hare]

5 just for 6 foundries making steel

[mortal ginkgo]

those are chungus factories no? decorate a smol one

to train yourself mentally too

[sharp bay]

i want to connect them all into a sky base

[mortal ginkgo]

ah so your decoration will be finished when "Satisfactory 2, Revenge of Windows" is released.

good good.

[undone crow]

Do mods disable achievements on steam? There are only three achievements left for me to get but they are the longest ones to take to get and I'd like to go back to a modded game if I can.

[sharp bay]

sure ig

[rustic hare]

depending on the output rate of the factory, I made a high speed connector + computer factory within 5x6 platform area that maxes out one manufacturer

[mortal ginkgo]

Gad damn.

[whole drum]

Haven't tried mods myself, but what I've read is that only the Advanced Options when you start a file disables them

Definitely make a save backup just in case

[rustic hare]

no they don't, atleast for me, still getting achievements

[undone crow]

Thanks. That's what I've read too but trying to get confirmation.

[rustic hare]

#screenshots message

no taller than the manufacturer too

[surreal ingot]

I figured out how to do copper right after setting up the copper stuff wrong

[urban shadow]

That is how we learn. Satisfactory is great for build teardown and rebuild as we advance and find a better way to do the same thing. This is my favorite part of Satisfactory!

[rustic hare]

that blueprint dismantle mode eheheheh

super super good

[surreal ingot]

I had made 3 smelters, 2 constructors making wires and 3 constructors making copper sheets.

I need 5 smelters, 6 constructors making wires and 3 constructors making copper sheets

Then 2 constructors making cables

[rustic hare]

that's alot, I just have one for sheet, one for wire, and 2 for cables

[surreal ingot]

The math isn’t mathing here. Are you overclocking?

[rustic hare]

give it a big storage, go explore, come back and earn a bunch of items

[rustic hare]

nope, that's my newbie setup and is still using until now, I don't burn through copper fast enough

[surreal ingot]

That’s fair but my goal is to 100% my entire factory

I want efficiency in my math game

[rustic hare]

absolutely, you don't need that much, but if your goal is to produce that much, go for it, I'm kinda lazy to do the math lol

[tulip orchid]

2 copper smelters -> 3 sheets constructors
3 copper smelters -> 6 wire constructors

That does check out, although it's a little weird to get exactly 150 copper ore /min

[viral tendon]

Js build the hub bro

[rustic hare]

it doesn't really serve any purpose

[surreal ingot]

My math might be a tiny bit off then. I got 120/min

[whole drum]

Portable HUB best life

[surreal ingot]

One of it feeds into 3 sheets and 2 wire

[tulip orchid]

The HUB is where you respawn if you die whilst doing something incredibly stupid, which is mildly important

[whole drum]

Just don't die

[surreal ingot]

They should add in the ability to not have to make the whole HUB. Like just give us a launch station and a bed

[rustic hare]

goated

[tulip orchid]

Sheets take 20 ingots /min per constructor, Wire takes 15/min per constructor
Smelters (for copper and iron at least) are always 30/min

[tulip orchid]

Consider: I intentionally play to permit deathwarping because walking clear acrosd the map for hard drives earlygame is fun

[surreal ingot]

Right math is a little off. I only need 4 for wires.

[tulip orchid]

Largely unrelated; it was an interesting realisation to have that HMF can entirely be made with steel-and-below products while I was setting up my more permanent starter factory

[rustic hare]

hmf?

[tulip orchid]

Heavy Frame
Tier, 6? Part

[rustic hare]

oh

I'm not too used to the acronyms yet

[surreal ingot]

I miss having coal power

[rustic hare]

it's only problem is.. screw..

which can be solved via casted or steel screws

I'm using steel screws atm

[frozen cloud]

or heavy encased frame

[rustic hare]

I spent all my drives on diluted fuel and residual heavy fuel yesterday, too lazy to go drive hunting today

[ivory condor]

I would rather collect more hard drives than make more screws

[tulip orchid]

Idr what recipes I do and don't have, screws are ultimately more stupid than anything else though atp

Cased frames are probably what I go for though, once I iron out a few other issues like motors and the fucking concrete for my steel foundry

You always have either way too much limestone or not nearly enough, and turns out ~106 cement is a bit of a tall order

[rustic hare]

oops, I just burned through all the quartz in my depot building signs lmao

[ivory condor]

Lol

I used to build signs, but I want a framerate

So no more signs for me....

[rustic hare]

I use signs as a black mirror and a light source

[tulip orchid]

Actually no, well over 120 concrete if I want cased beams and HMF happening
For better or worse if I do go "fuck it" and make oil products in that factory I can use rubber cement

[ivory condor]

Hopefully your framerate survives

[rustic hare]

it's still good dw, worst case I disable taj's graphical overhaul

[shell lynx]

my screw/rod/plate factories are full

i didnt think id need more than 2 containers

[true mulch]

to anyone playing on a controller, what on earth is a "cost area"?

it appears in UI hints apparently

[ivory condor]

That's good I have saves with signs are beyond saving unfortunately

[rustic hare]

how did you even get to that point lmao

[ivory condor]

Well it took some work

[rustic hare]

you still got some ss of it?

they really should optimize the signs just so we can have more

[ivory condor]

Yeah and the save file, but I wouldn't play it because it has horrible stuttering now and the only solution is to remove all of the skgns

[left moss]

Man, i just stopped playing for a moment cus i was laphing at one of the hogs charging off a cliff and then a second hog launched me off the same cliff

[ivory condor]

They were optimized in 1.0 but the problem with 1.1 is the previous optimizations are gone, hence the these saves are now doomed

Hence just dont use signs anymore, they are now performance killers

[rustic hare]

wait what, why would anyone undo optimizations in a later update?

I am placing lot more signs as we speak

[ivory condor]

Because people wanted high resolution signs, CSS delivered that but at a terrible cost....aka playability

[tulip orchid]

People went "Hey, I can use signs to light up this space" and did not consider that lots of tiny lights do bad things to your computer

And then I assume got mad that signs stopped being tiny lights

[rustic hare]

they need to add more light bars

so we can stop using signs as light bars

[ripe elm]

https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production?share=I7RW2kFtihAfEzlLxmBr an someone help me with making these straight numbers no decibels while using max 450 iron ore

[ivory condor]

Problem isnt really the lumen from what I can tell, its the texture pool size, high resolution signs take up alot vram, which now overwhelming the games rendering pipeline

[rustic hare]

which is why light bars dedicated to lighting only would be great

[placid stirrup]

You want you to help yourself?

[ripe elm]

?

[left moss]

ha

[ivory condor]

Though this could be approaching hardware vram issues with as high as the vram usage now is with signs, which could be contributing to the optimization issues with signs now

[fallen moss]

Chat I am now OSHA compliant

[rustic hare]

count the signs lmao #screenshots message

[placid stirrup]

And you want it done quietly?

[ripe elm]

i dont get you

[ivory condor]

My saves have more signs....much more

[placid stirrup]

You said "can someone help"
When your name here in discord is 'someone!'. It would be like me saying "can tsunami help me?"

You also said "no decibels".
'decibels' measure sound on a logarithmic scale, 'decimals' indicate a non-whole number.

Isn't it funnier now that I've explained it?

[ivory condor]

Aka this one factory building is only 3k signs

[ripe elm]

jeeez havent thought about that tahst even the reason i chose these name

[gilded goblet]

how soon will I need to update my power infra?

[viral tendon]

Can ryancat help me please

[gilded goblet]

I have 8 biomass burners producing 240MW and i'm only using 30-50ish

[rustic hare]

if the only decent looking light source wasn't this the ceiling light...

[rustic hare]

as soon as you get coal

[gilded goblet]

alright

[ivory condor]

Wouldn't fix it, because the problem as I said isnt lumen, at least for my case

[viral tendon]

Damn, portals are nice

[shy mulch]

Until endgame I usually aim to produce about twice the power that I think I need. But if you don't like manually collecting stuff get onto coal as soon as you can because that can be fully automated

[placid stirrup]

It's ideal to automate power as soon as you unlock the capability to do so. There are great resources on that here and elsewhere.

[placid stirrup]

This guy

[viral tendon]

Welp now i need to make 256 expansion servers and the game is doneeee

[charred fractal]

Could someone explain why a path is blocked for trains when I have Path signal -> Block Signal and no trains in front of it.. Shouldn't both signals say Green instead of "Waiting for reservation?
(Should this go in Questions in Help?)

[rustic hare]

you said it was vram? lights have super low resolution which shouldn't consume much vram if that was the problem you are talking about?

[gilded goblet]

Mine is semi automated, Constructors turning wood and leaves into biomass then into solid biofuel

[flat helm]

after spending 15 minutes crafting 600 screws im considering using constructors

[tulip orchid]

Honestly I'm genuinely planning on just using coal power until I get nuclear setup, fuel is just way too much of an ordeal for me to care

[gilded goblet]

i just have to go collect the wood and such

[viral tendon]

Gte a load of this guy

[mortal ginkgo]

You must be a madman

[viral tendon]

This guy is a madman

[placid stirrup]

Which is the best we can do at that stage. Future power is fully automatable, fortunately

[flat helm]

i miscalculated it was 1.5 minutes not 15

[tulip orchid]

Check the signal segments to make sure your blocks aren't borked somewhere

[gilded goblet]

oh sweet

[shell lynx]

is there a way to lock my mouse in middle of the screen when in game?

[gilded goblet]

I'm doing resource sink program rn then I'm gonna build a space elevator

[mortal ginkgo]

Things you need to consider:

• Fuel is rather easy. The basic fuel that is.
• You need the fuel byproduct that is for plastic for rubber too.
• Nuclear Power is a big investment, and for that investment to work, you need big power to kickstart it etc

[viral tendon]

Don't use rocket fuel as your main fuel production tho

[ivory condor]

Well in my case im not using the signs for lighting, hence lumen isn't the problem

[mortal ginkgo]

yeah we call those soy beta "males".

[rustic hare]

yeah lumen is not the problem for me too, I wonder if the sign bg is optimized so it has low resolution vs the text?

[bitter agate]

Love it when you startup a power setup and it painfully fills up

[gilded goblet]

and if I run out of power my setup is made so that I can just put 8 more biomass burners on the other side and have more

[flat helm]

and now it will take me 10 minutes to craft 50 reinforced iron plates

[rustic hare]

I agree with this statement, ime you'll grow out of coal real quick, only good option then before nuclear is diluted fuel

[bitter agate]

I'm running 80 biomass burners because i'm crazy

[shell lynx]

i keep clicking out of the game cuz

[mortal ginkgo]

Once I got 10 fuel gens running, I looked at my coal gen setup with UTTER DISGUST

[ivory condor]

It used to be but not anymore, that's part of the problem, signs don't render in low res anymore, which is leading to performance issues

[shell lynx]

the mouse isnt stuck on the centre

[shy mulch]

Just finished work, going for dinner, then I'm gonna try and finish the last section of my APM factory tonight. It will be producing 21.5 APM/min and feeding into 4 APA with a bit left over to feed into storage buffer for emergencies. If I've done my calculations right it should put me in the region of 1.1 TW

[gilded goblet]

I have 6 hours in the game 😭 🙏

[tulip orchid]

1. Gonna be honest I don't give a shit, I have a personal vendetta against fuel gens
2. Even with byproduct oil residue, I'm currently debating if I either turn it into smokeless powder or just do the fuel recycling trick to make shitfucklots of rubber and plastic
3. Power storage goes hard when you actually have a reason to use them

[viral tendon]

Is that right

[bitter agate]

I only have a mere like 1,000+ hours in the total game

[charred fractal]

Yeah. I did... This is my first time doing trains on this game used to factorio signals which I thought they were pretty similar. I get green up the ahead on the block signals. But Ill Keep on looking!

[mortal ginkgo]

You are such a madman and I say yolo.

[bitter agate]

Welp, time to AFK while i'm at work and let the machines spam Biofuel into storage bins

[rustic hare]

my 5 fuel gens are making 6GW, which is more than my 40 coal gens... and the coal gens eat up 2 whole pure nodes with full overclocked mk2 drills vs barely scraping a pure node of oil for 6GW

[shell lynx]

i got 155 hours in game but 150 of that is from last year

i forgot like everything

[gilded goblet]

i just unlocked the ability to color things

I'm in love

[shy mulch]

I'm at 980 hours, need to think of something interesting to do to celebrate my 1000 hour mark

[quiet gust]

I have 1250, I have been playing only this game for a while

[shy mulch]

Probably gonna hit it over the weekend

[rustic hare]

diluted fuel gen is just goated tier 6-8

[tulip orchid]

Also like
If you aren't using the coal for anything else, you can get a surprisingly decent amount of power off of just coal
As mentioned you'll definitely still want power storage and a modular enough system to maintain off switches, but like

Saying "Fuck fuel I have better things to do" genuinely isn't as crazy as it sounds, you people are just all deeply dependent on it

[quiet gust]

Real

[shy mulch]

fuel gens are life

[shell lynx]

aaaaaaa why wont satisfactory lock my mouse

[wary parrot]

ive just unlocked foundations should i rebuild my whole like production?

[tulip orchid]

(This assumes you build like I do and also say "Overclocking is horseshit" but)

[shell lynx]

this is so annoying

[placid stirrup]

If anyone is apprehensive of fuel power, there is always geothermal around the map that I'm a huge proponent of

[quiet gust]

Just diluted fuel or did you turn it into turbo or rocket fuel

[rustic hare]

it's efficiency, you get way more for less work with fuel gens, it pays off, and I can use coal for compacted coal, steel, etc.. in other recipes

[shell lynx]

i never went nuclear power ngl
fuel power is super cool

[rustic hare]

diluted fuel only

[shy mulch]

how many fuel gens you got 😄

[mortal ginkgo]

you had me at first half ngl, but now I just realised, you are yoloing.

[placid stirrup]

Just include geothermal in your exploration for other map resources as well (drives, sloops, spheres, etc)

[shell lynx]

i ahve 4 bio gens to my name rn :3

[shy mulch]

oh

[shell lynx]

atleast i got solid biofuel for now

[shell lynx]

i satrated anew in full release

[gilded goblet]

I just realized theres no VC channels

[rustic hare]

how do you automate it tho?

[tulip orchid]

Geothermal also goes hard if you can get it set up
Granted if you're someone who cares about having a clean power grid (as you well should, in my opinion) then that gets annoying, but that's why we have two world-spanning power networks

[rustic hare]

most big servers don't, it'd be a mess to moderate

[gilded goblet]

ehh fair

[shy mulch]

According to SCIM, I have -
24 biomass burners
18 coal gens
627 fuel gens
21 nuclear plants
16 geothermal
494 power storage

[gilded goblet]

borderlands has them and it has like 200k members

[shell lynx]

i just overflow container with biomass and it turned to solid fuel

[rustic hare]

600?!

[shell lynx]

is enough for now

[shy mulch]

I did say I really like fuel gens

[mortal ginkgo]

95% of the discussions would be heated arguements about "fuel generators, nuclear power and screws".

I think it would be wasted moderater power kek

[rustic hare]

and you have nearly 500 of the power storage?? what for

[gilded goblet]

fair

[rustic hare]

oh, particle accelerators?

[quiet gust]

We just dm each other and VC that way

[placid stirrup]

The real question is whether they're overclocked

[shy mulch]

I have no purpose for them at all, just was fun to build

[rustic hare]

lmao

[gilded goblet]

i see

[mortal ginkgo]

Mods. This is the madman yes. Get'im!

[gilded goblet]

THENN you argue about nuclear power screws and fuel gens

[rustic hare]

it'd be really useful once you setup nuclear and use particle accelerators

[shy mulch]

yes, almost all of them at 250%, 84 of them are at 200% for pipe flow reasons

[placid stirrup]

Makes sense, that's a lot of slugs haha

[gilded goblet]

might have to afk for some concrete

[quiet gust]

Im going to use all 3 major late game power sources and get nearly 3tw of power, I think both are fine

[mortal ginkgo]

Nuclear bros don't need to worry about pipes.

Pipes are a bygone era for them bros.

Bros being bros per usual.

Bro/min + Nuclear/min = Game Win Condition 100%

[shell lynx]

also irl isnt nuclear power literally the power generation we need that doesnt kill our atmosphere?

[shy mulch]

I'm making 50 power shards per minute, 45 per minute go towards alien power matrix and the other 5 are pointed at dimensional depot, so I can pull out a stack and use whenever I want

[viral tendon]

Fuck ai expnasion server

[shell lynx]

like the nuclear waste is stored in a very secure place too

[quiet gust]

Yes

[quiet gust]

Tbh easiest space part at p5

[mortal ginkgo]

Yep, and got actually ridiculously small amount of waste compared to this game. This game's nuclear plants make waste as much as my irl problems.

[viral tendon]

Not at fucking all

Uses 3 parts that you haven't automased yet

[shell lynx]

😭

[viral tendon]

3/4 btw

[gilded goblet]

my friend told me that i could skip logistics t2 and just go for t3 because of reinforced plates being a pain in the dickhole

[quiet gust]

You didn't automate super computers?

[shell lynx]

i cant wait to automate frames rotors and RPlates

mmmmmmmm

[viral tendon]

Ai expansion server uses SPO, NQP and MFG

[mortal ginkgo]

correct, compared to reinforced plates, mk3 belts are pretty cheap and easy to make. only challenge about them is bringing coal to iron to make steels

[quiet gust]

Yes

[viral tendon]

None of those you needed to automate before

[gilded goblet]

ah

[quiet gust]

Nqp only hard part is supercomputers

[viral tendon]

What's the hardest part in p5 in your opinion

[rustic hare]

yes, and t4 is just t3 + concrete

[quiet gust]

Mfg are the easiest space part

[gilded goblet]

I'll DEFINITELY be skipping t2

[mortal ginkgo]

you dont need to utterly skip as t1 belt is painfully slow. just dont forget to head for t3 😛

[viral tendon]

Yeah but neural quantum proccssor sucks

[quiet gust]

And spo are annoying but nice bc they yet you make crystals without sam

[viral tendon]

So what's the harrdest part in your opinion

[quiet gust]

Bwd to set up

[gilded goblet]

yea logistics Mk3 is what i'm rushing as soon as tier 3 is unlocked

[quiet gust]

Bio for gathering resources

[gilded goblet]

so the tiers are what help me progress

like as a progression line

[mortal ginkgo]

yeap, each one aiming to push you for automating more and for the better

[gilded goblet]

ahhh

[viral tendon]

Ai expansion server is hard becqause it's hard to set up and you havent automated a lot of things

[quiet gust]

Do you know how to set up crystals so you don't have extra byproduct or have to use extra sam

[willow glen]

t2 belts are useful, to go from a miner directly to a splitter into 2 mk1 belts.

[viral tendon]

BWD on the other hand uses dark matter crystal which is easy, TMR which is easy because you got everything you needed for it before

[mortal ginkgo]

Oil to crystal no?

[viral tendon]

What

[shell lynx]

ngl something in my brain doesnt let me progress till i automate the next lvl of resources

[rustic hare]

is automating everything automatable at 5/min a valid endgame goal?

[quiet gust]

Using the alts you can make dark matter crystals without sam

[mortal ginkgo]

valid for the "Save the Day" missions, other stuff may need to be much more

[viral tendon]

ok ig

[ripe basin]

.

[quiet gust]

Depends how many you want to make tho

[quiet gust]

It's kinda hard to have an invalid endgame goal

[willow glen]

5/min is slow to start but really fast by the end. Just shoot for using nodes, don’t need to use the whole map. A quick and dirty setup can finish the game before the neat and orderly large line even gets up and running.

[placid stirrup]

If you mean all endgame products at 5/min, then sure why not. Those products will require way more than 5/min inputs though

[rustic hare]

5/min cause some items that consume massive amounts of screws are a pain, I'll try to produce at atleast 1x the speed of the manufacturer though

[willow glen]

notably I’m remaking nuclear pasta up to 2/min rn and it’s finally up and running, but at 0.2/min from the “quick and dirty” I’m almost done with the milestone.

[viral tendon]

I will go on a walk with my dog and then make ai expnasion server, that will be a pain in the ass, anyways the ballistic warp drives will be done inl ike 170 minutes

So no need to rush those servers

[willow glen]

I find that works up until heavy modular frames; feeding just one manufacturer is quite a lot of iron

[austere pendant]

how you guys unlock that cool concrete floor? or is it modded floor

[rustic hare]

sink -> coupon

[willow glen]

Awesome shop

[placid stirrup]

Wham bam thank you MAM

[austere pendant]

cant find that there lol

[placid stirrup]

Oh wait yeah it's the shop

[rustic hare]

yeah it's crazy amounts of screw, so much that it overloads a mk4 belt

[austere pendant]

i see none :c

[placid stirrup]

Progress unlocks more purchasables

[austere pendant]

im finishing phase 4

so it unlocks there i assume

[rustic hare]

customizer tab, unlock that

[willow glen]

concrete foundation is unlocked at tier 1 but must be purchased in the awesome shop. Plastic concrete is also t1 but good luck building any before t5 lol. Unless by “cool concrete” you mean a mod.

[quiet gust]

I could sworn it only unlocks after you unlock plastic

[austere pendant]

i have t3 rn, working on finishing t4. i just looked in shop and found none of plastic concrete xD

i have just standard foundations

[willow glen]

just trusting the wiki here, I’ve never used awesome shop stuff before phase 3 so I haven’t verified myself.

[willow glen]

“Coated concrete foundation”

[shell lynx]

okay so uhh
idek whats the normal crafting recipe for this

but what do i pick?
copper rotors, bolted frame

[willow glen]

If you close the menu the choice will remain, and you can look at the regular recipes in the codex to compare. Copper rotors is more useful after steamed copper sheets, bolted frame is meh.

[austere pendant]

also not, well gonna stick to standard walls and foundations xD

[shell lynx]

it also is like pretty fast

[rustic hare]

oh for that to open up you need to unlock oil and plastic which is like tier 5 or 6 smth iirc

[willow glen]

I’m really confused as to how you can’t find it in the awesome shop, it should be on the first page of the customized tab in the awesome shop. Sure you didn’t already purchase it?

[austere pendant]

thats why probably

[austere pendant]

standard foundation i have, not the other ones

[willow glen]

If the wiki’s wrong please edit it instead of just spreading it in discord 🙂

[rustic hare]

iirc = if I recall correctly, I am unsure of my statement, as I already unlocked the material, I can't look back to see if it's true within a short amount of time

[willow glen]

Once you unlock it it can be difficult to find, you need to use the drop down menu in the foundation panel of the build menu

[willow glen]

@rustic hare

[austere pendant]

@rustic hare I SEE THAT NOW xDDD

[rustic hare]

nice

[austere pendant]

thx

[quiet gust]

Iirc I think you can see all foundations as soon as you have foundations unlocked but you can't unlock a material until your at the correct milestone

[rustic hare]

I still use normal concrete material for most of my floors to show it's an industrial place, only use coated in my base

[steel atlas]

How do I turn pipeline junction upside down?

[willow glen]

I assume you mean rotate it so it’s got ports facing up and down? Build a temporary vertical pipe (floor holes help here). Then delete that and connect the intended pipe

[steel atlas]

Ohh it has to bbe on the pipe

[quiet gust]

Scroll wheel

[steel atlas]

To rotate it

Thanks @willow glen

[gilded goblet]

space elevator is such a cool structure

[rustic hare]

can't miss the animations

[gilded goblet]

i didn't dw

[steel atlas]

I was so impressed when I,saw it for the first time today

[gilded goblet]

lmao

i just seen it for the first time ever

[steel atlas]

Yea me too

I forgot a "," there lol

[tidal epoch]

how to pet lizard

[gilded goblet]

ah

[steel atlas]

Drop a berry close to it and just wait

[green fiber]

yo new patch drop!

[gilded goblet]

once I get Mk3 belts I need to redo my iron proc

[wanton blaze]

I got triggered by the spelling of nullptr in patch notes 🙃

[ripe elm]

https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production?share=I7RW2kFtihAfEzlLxmBr can anyone help me with making these numbers rounded

[ivory condor]

NullPTR

[wanton blaze]

The keyword is all lowercase

And I hope unreal does not use it's own macro for it...

[rustic hare]

hint: you can place the new conveyor right on top of the current one to replace it

[gilded goblet]

yee but I need to make it cleaner entirely

it's a very messy setup

[rustic hare]

highly recommends a creative world with blueprints if you are a perfectionist lol

[gilded goblet]

oh yea

i dont have the blueprint thing on my main world tho

look in #screenshots

[rustic hare]

yeah, try to get it asap, useful stuff

[gilded goblet]

it's a very messy setup

[rustic hare]

my only gripe is that mk1 blueprints can't be loaded on mk2 and so on

[gilded goblet]

when do you unlock it

[ivory condor]

Unreal prefers to use nullptr over the C style NULL macro, mainly because of its c++ coding standards, though some older unreal engines can still use NULL

[rustic hare]

tier 3 iirc? I'm too far away from the HUB to check atm

[gilded goblet]

ah

thats not too far away then

[wanton blaze]

Like anything in c++ should.

anyways back to slacking 🙂

[gilded goblet]

thank lord for the fact that deleting things doesn't delete the resources

I just moved my space ele 5 times

[haughty flax]

how do i get the oil out of this kind of node? cant build an extractor #screenshots message

[rustic hare]

you pressurize the middle node then collect the smaller surrounding nodes

[gilded goblet]

next thing to automate, wire and cable

[sharp sentinel]

Hm... 1 GB patch...

[gilded goblet]

i have literally everything else done

[sharp sentinel]

Small bugfixes 1GB... Dang.

[plain quest]

Interesting there's no patch notes or anything for this update

[spice patio]

Because how UE5 data file compiles work.

[spice patio]

Yes there is? #patch-notes message

[plain quest]

Oops somehow missed that

[lean ferry]

guys I got a question

im making a oil refinery rn, I have 4 set to plastic 4 set to rubber and they are medium length from the extractor, but no height difference. Do i need pumps?

[south lion]

As far as I'm aware no

[sharp bay]

no

[remote wasp]

Yea pumps are only needed for height difference, you can go an infinite distance at the same level/down without pumps

[sharp bay]

pumps are needed for headlift only

[ivory inlet]

im fairly new, is it normal to want to just rip down your entire "factory" (not sure I can call my mess a factory) and remake it? I just got to coal and in doing so I tried to keep things organized but didnt realize how much room I would need

[leaden ether]

Yeah, I started the game an hour ago, no patch, just restarted and boom...

[solemn vale]

Oh god, I just noticed what they call the lines ADA says when you prep and send up the space elevator!

[boreal mica]

mmm, server updated automatically on me aaand now i can't log in

[sharp bay]

it is completely up to you to do it or not

[leaden ether]

I did that twice to two fairly large factories. It's a bit of work :D A lot of people say "Leave it and build a new one elsewhere" But that kind of "development" is really distasteful to me. :(

SO it's entirely a personal preference

[sharp bay]

yuh

[ivory inlet]

Hmm ok, I think I am being too picky on where to put it is the issue, I started in the first area and every I look feels mostly the same, might just have to build something in the sky haha

[solemn vale]

Which starter area? There's four.

[ivory inlet]

the grassy one all the way on the left, the first option amongst the 4

[sharp bay]

build it in a suitable location for resouces for your factory

although when you unlock better transportation methods like trains and drones you can pretty much build your factory anywhere
(abeit you'll have to build more)

[hasty cradle]

Is there a program like satisfactory modeler for mobile devices?

[viral tendon]

jjjjjjhhhhhhhh

[vestal mica]

all devices are mobile if you try hard enough

[hasty cradle]

I am not gonna carry my setup around

[tidal epoch]

why my tractor is not loading

[hasty cradle]

Why are you using tractors?

[rustic hare]

trackless trains, but way worse

-1 belt +1 cute vehicle running around

[hasty cradle]

That runs you over and gets stuck all the time

[ivory inlet]

wait the tractor can run you over?

[rustic hare]

get stuck is up to your path configuration, and just mind where you are

[hasty cradle]

If its auto driving it can

[rustic hare]

it'll even give you an achievement for that

[vestal mica]

there might be an achievement for it. you should go let it kill you

[sharp bay]

hell yes

[sharp bay]

"UNFORTUNATELY" it can't kill us

[hasty cradle]

I have a massive skill issue when it comes to driving vehicles in games

[steel atlas]

I have a coal energy grid and I have 16 coal gen with 8 water extractor so 4 feeding 8. I have no coal issue but the water.. it keeps stopping. I have no idea what can I show you guys to ask what is wrong, help lol

[hasty cradle]

4 feeding 8?

[rustic hare]

the first time it ran over me I laughed so hard, the attention to detail is crazy lol

[steel atlas]

4 extractor is feeinng 8 gen

[hasty cradle]

Mk1 pipes can transport 300 m3 water per second

[sharp bay]

you need to make a loop for the water pipes
because pipes mk1 can only support 300/second

[rustic hare]

try adding a pump, you may not be getting enough headlift
split the 4 pumps to different pipes btw, mk1 can't support 8 coal gens at 100% speed

[lean ferry]

guys yk those hypertube cannons that send u flying does it work without the send flying part just go rlly fast in a tube

like spam entrances and then it goes into a tube

[vestal mica]

yes

[sharp bay]

yea the speed remains

[rustic hare]

yes

[hasty cradle]

Thats a thing yeah

[lean ferry]

do you guys think I should make a cannon or a tube

[sharp bay]

it's actually super damn fun to use something like that

[lean ferry]

like a human particle accelerator or a cannon

[hasty cradle]

You should make a cannon

[sharp bay]

cannons are less painful to make (MUCH less)

[lean ferry]

wait

[sharp bay]

i still make tube cannons cuz it's fun

[lean ferry]

can I not just cannon and then parachute down??

[sharp bay]

yeah?

[lean ferry]

ok thats good

[rustic hare]

jetpacks better since you don't lose xy speed

[clever fossil]

you can only parachute once you're descending

[sharp bay]

if you have that

[lean ferry]

k ill use jetpack

[lean ferry]

no but like what if I go too far

its probably better to use parachute then

[hasty cradle]

You die

[steel atlas]

am I doing the math wrong, 1 extractor can extract 120m3 per min so 4 = 480. 1 gen takes 45m3 min so 8 takes 360 min. if I extract 480 min and consume 360 min how am I having issues with water?

[clever fossil]

again, you can only parachute once you desend

[sharp bay]

you can decellerate

[lean ferry]

so what do I do then

[rustic hare]

btw is infinitely rerolling a drive via reloading the save a bug or a feature?

[lean ferry]

just accept my fate and then fly out the map

[clever fossil]

if you shoot yourself off the map, use less entrances

[hasty cradle]

The pipes can only transport 300 per min

[lean ferry]

k

[vestal mica]

they just mean if you're tyring to force that 480 into one pipe at any point, it won't work

[steel atlas]

ooh damn I need to seperate pipes

[rustic hare]

headlift, and pipe transport limit

[steel atlas]

4 and 4 different pipes..

[viral tendon]

Use hoverpacks when you need to keep consistent high

[lean ferry]

experiment time btw how much entrances do u guys recommend for like 1.5km distance?

[sharp bay]

just hold S to slow down

[lean ferry]

im only tier 6

[viral tendon]

Well when you'll unlock it then use it around factory

[lean ferry]

ok thanks but u know how many entrances to use at 1.5km

[hasty cradle]

I have a cannon that only needs 2 entrances and infinitly accelerates you

[rustic hare]

last time I did 10-11 I can already go half the map with jetpack

[sharp bay]

i have no idea since i just use an accelerator

[rustic hare]

cyclotron?

[lean ferry]

I knwo ive palyed the game im tier 8

like was tier 8 now I started new save

[hasty cradle]

Works like one yeah

[tidal epoch]

how to recover vehicle that fell in void

[vestal mica]

with the junctions now, couldn't you makea cyclotron wiht just one entrance?

go left, it loops back around go right, you shoot out

[green fiber]

load autosave

[viral egret]

thinking about iron rods

[sly shoal]

I don't know if this is the right place, but I finally got 1000 tickets and now I'm 44/44 for achievements!

[viral egret]

i guess i'll just dedicate one furnace to them, not much

[rustic hare]

Emazing!

[hasty cradle]

Yeah

Thats what mine is

I Just spam e to go inside the infinite loop and spam e to get out

But i need two entrances to make the acceleration faster

Whats the best place to make a no waste nuclear power plant?

[steel atlas]

okay I connected every 4 gen to 2 extractor. Now it works perfectly

[quiet gust]

anwhere near a LOTTT of water

thats the only resource you need to be near for nuclear

[undone yarrow]

The western swamp is popular for its wide variety of nearby resources, otherwise the northern or eastern oceans are also great because of the huge amount of open water to build off of

[whole drum]

Off the western oil islands seems like it would be good since there's a lot of open water to build on that isolates it from the rest of your factory while still being part of it.

[quiet gust]

imo water is the only need b/c you need soooo many different reasources that need to be brought in

[whole drum]

I'm starting up to play. Check out my thread in LFG if you'd like to join.

[silk ocean]

Train on self drive almost had a collision, had to back up at the red light XD

[narrow cedar]

Is it best to play with someone, or without?

[lean ferry]

I PERFECTLY CALCULATED IT

[trim vine]

what are your OCD and ADHD levels?

[lean ferry]

I LANDED STRAIGHT AT MY HUB YAY

[narrow cedar]

both are quite low, my factory is a mess atm

just started yesterday

[unkempt blade]

YOU'RE AMAZING AND I'M PROUD OF YOU

[whole drum]

10 / 10

[trim vine]

then you are likely better with someone with similar levels, the higher the ocd and adhd you less you should play with folks unless their style matches yours

[unkempt blade]

what about intentionally making just a little bit of subtle mess to drive the other person crazy? that's my love language with friends

[trim vine]

-blows you a kiss-

[trim vine]

Awwww, didnt see the you're new to the game part

Starter factories always are a mess

[clear aspen]

IM BACK IN US AIRSPACE

[trim vine]

It will improve with time 🙂

[viral egret]

#screenshots message pretty happy i managed to do this myself

[narrow cedar]

lowkey just saw the trailer, and the trains looked cool so i bought the game

[trim vine]

whats it do

[viral egret]

perfectly balanced rods to screws

[trim vine]

Please, for the love of god, do not hesitate to reach out when you're about to start trains/when you run into problems with trains

[unkempt blade]

the trains ARE cool, second only to factory carts in awesomness

[viral tendon]

Chat do i fuck neural quantum processor and just buy 256 of them for tickets????

I did not mean fuck in literal way

[shy mulch]

depends if you have the patience to make them or not

[viral tendon]

Fuck no fuck them

Thanks for the answer

[trim vine]

And, as a new person, allow me to give you some unsolicited advice

You have 3 priorities in this game at all times throughout your playthrough

1. Power, isolated from other factories
2. AGGRESSIVE MAM research and hard drive scanning
3. Whatever you want

[mortal ginkgo]

its one time purchase for the only building that needs, I say go for it

[ivory inlet]

This game is gonna make me buy more RAM

[trim vine]

They are super easy, I literally cleared all of phase 5 in a single night (it was a huge let down)

[viral tendon]

No fuck neural quantum procesers

[unkempt blade]

4. sink tickets to unlock factory carts

[trim vine]

Whats the part about them processors that are annoying you?

[narrow cedar]

#screenshots i got a beautiful factory

[shy mulch]

tbh you should automate time crystals and trigons anyway for mk6 belts, and photonic matter is the easiest thing ever. So if you can automate supercomputers, collect a bunch of them, you can hand-feed a quantum encoder, shard and sloop it, you'll be done in like 15 mins

[trim vine]

For a new player on their first playthrough, its gorgeous

[narrow cedar]

im just overproducing everything atp

[trim vine]

Good, you have building materials

How much power do you have available to you right now?

[narrow cedar]

150

just built 2 coal generators 700m away

no coal in the area, or water ;(

[trim vine]

Perfect! You're on coal

[viral egret]

#screenshots message extremely satisfactory

[trim vine]

If you ever want help with power, just fire me a dm

[trim vine]

Thats sexy

[steel atlas]

miners not on foundation triggers my ocd..

[shy mulch]

one of your smelters isn't going anywhere

[unkempt blade]

yeah but what about clipping when they are on the foundation? there's no right answer!

[trim vine]

You ever get your smelters up to a 100%?

[steel atlas]

yes! lol

[viral tendon]

I'm too lazy

[tidal epoch]

There is a huge boulder on top of coal mine, how do i destroy it

[stray loom]

Using nobelisks

[viral tendon]

Like it's not that hard but dealing with that big ass logistic line and dark matter aahhh

[tidal epoch]

i havent even done phase 2 yet

[viral tendon]

Not doing this bullshit

[trim vine]

I understand, which step of that process is engaging with the laziness

[wise junco]

are we satisfied yet?

[narrow cedar]

Should i just go for researching alot of stuff in the MAM? and what is hard drive scanning?

[unkempt blade]

never! more factory carts!!!

[trim vine]

Nobelisk is MAM research my friend

[tidal epoch]

😐

[viral tendon]

Logistics, time crystals are too far away, never got a problem with logistics, but it's end of the game

So like whatever

I will just buy em with tickets

[tidal epoch]

any other option?

[steel atlas]

Damn my first coal gen grid works on max efficiency, I am proud.

[trim vine]

AGGRESSIVE MAM research, bury your nose in that shit and actively look for things you can finish

Hard Drives are found at crash sites around the world, they usually require items to open, or power. However, at each crash site there are a ton of resources, usually tech you wont unlock for some time, so its good to go searching

What are Hard Drives? They unlock alt recipes. For example, an early recipe you can get is "Cast Screw" which lets you make screws directly from iron ingots instead of rods

[quiet gust]

hard drive sacnaning lets you scan hard drives you find in crash pods, which unlocks alternate recipes which majorlly change how you polay the game

[trim vine]

Do you not like the MAM?

[viral tendon]

Idk why but when i get new machnies i'm so excited for 0 reason

[tidal epoch]

i dont have the mats

[quiet gust]

no

[trim vine]

Crash sites will allow you to get the pipe and other stuff you would need

[trim vine]

Assuming you are in the Grass Plains though, there are 2-3 other coal nodes right next to you, so plenty of coal to work with

[viral tendon]

Can we all agree that excitedf photonic matter is the best thing ever in this game

[quiet gust]

it s mid

it just kinda exists

[viral tendon]

The only thing it needs is some power

[trim vine]

Should only take a quick train station set up

[quiet gust]

thats why its mid

[viral tendon]

I'm like not doing that, it will just take more time than buying

[narrow cedar]

i need that cast screw, so annoying crafting screws, as it clogs up my system since it's so slow

[trim vine]

Everything takes more time than buying xD

[viral tendon]

How is it mid, it needs nothing

[quiet gust]

boring

[unkempt blade]

I can agreeto third best tops behind factory carts and trains

[viral tendon]

How is it boring

[quiet gust]

its just kinda, there

[reef basin]

cast screws don't help with that

[viral tendon]

Screw screws

[reef basin]

just build more machines to make it faster

nah, screws are fine

[sharp bay]

it just takes up alot of space

[narrow cedar]

oh

[viral tendon]

What's the maximum amount one thing can consume?

[trim vine]

Couple of things about hard drives:

You do not need to pick a recipe when its done scanning, you can let it sit.

Recipes sitting in the library after scanning but have not been selected do not reppear when you can new hard drives (so leaving 2 bad options is good because it saves them from reappearing)

You can build a MAM in the wild, start the hard drive scan, then delete the MAM, and it keeps scanning

[wise junco]

cast screws? i haven't learned that spell yet

[sharp bay]

spell?

[unkempt blade]

I use self sealing stem bolts instead of screws whenever possible

[viral tendon]

Power i mean

[trim vine]

Screws aint that bad once you get steel screws honestly

[viral tendon]

What's the maximum amount of powerr one thing can consume

[quiet gust]

i think 30 gw

[viral tendon]

Still, screw screws

[trim vine]

~20/30k I think I have seen

[viral tendon]

What is it

[quiet gust]

fully overclocked slooped quantum encoder

[viral tendon]

Welp could have guessed that

[lean ferry]

guys what do I do with 20 ficsit coupons

[reef basin]

keep them until you need something from the shop

[trim vine]

that or the accelerator, but I would guess the encoder

[tidal epoch]

how to use nobelisk?

[trim vine]

@reef basin ❤️

[unkempt blade]

factory cart + skate park foundations

[viral tendon]

Someone's whole power production btw ✌️

[trim vine]

throw and right click

[quiet gust]

its like 26 gw cause it is 13x the base power when you fully overclock

and sloop

[trim vine]

-stares in 600 gigglywatts-

[viral tendon]

Daaaaaaamn!!!

Giggitywatts

[quiet gust]

not mine, my plan for this woorld is 3tw

[viral tendon]

I genuinely have no idea how crazy can satsifactory plyaers can be

[main topaz]

I haven't played since pre 1.0, do trains still take the shortest route and won't reroute to an open block if the shortest one is full?

[quiet gust]

yes

[viral tendon]

There was a guy who made 20 millions MW

And everything required 30M MW

[sharp bay]

tbh any factory games enthusiasts are insane

[viral tendon]

I like this game , but not THAT much

[vestal hound]

Kai i remember you i think

[viral tendon]

I don't know really what will i do after i finish satisfactroy

[sharp bay]

who are you?

[vestal hound]

From mamytemas studio, i was that one guy who couldnt make a cpp

[sharp bay]

factorio

[unkempt blade]

I submit exhibit A #screenshots message

[sharp bay]

oh hey that's me alright

[viral tendon]

I don't have money for that

It's too expensive

[sharp bay]

ok then factorio

[vestal hound]

steamunlocked

[viral tendon]

Piracy is for losers

[lean ferry]

guys im gonna byu dotted line patterns concrete foundation asphalt foundation modern catwalk metal barrier and industrial railing

[vestal hound]

You don't even own that game dawg

[viral tendon]

Who else but satisfactory players

[vestal hound]

They can delete it at anytime, and boom, no game in your library

[viral tendon]

Fuck does that change

[lean ferry]

I have other architecture stuff

[vestal hound]

you will have the game file infinitely

[lean ferry]

should I get what I said? I can make roads and stuff#

[viral tendon]

Even if the game is removed from steam it stays in your library

[unkempt blade]

I learned it from minecraft degenerates so at least them too 😆

[viral tendon]

They can't just delete it

[vestal hound]

Same with piracy dawg

Otherwise, the other one is free

[viral tendon]

Get a load of this guy

Justifying piracy

Use it all you want but not get other people into it jeez

[lean ferry]

how do I get walls?

[viral tendon]

You'll unlock them from tiers iirc

[vestal hound]

I was just saying to that guy blud, he didn't have money

[lean ferry]

whats iirc idk srry

[viral tendon]

That guy, blud, was ME

[sharp bay]

isn't it just unlocked thru tier 1

[viral tendon]

If you can't even remember a picture or a nickname then idk bro

[viral tendon]

If i remember correctly

[vestal hound]

Your picture is a

one leg monster

[lean ferry]

o lol

I was lookign in architecture not foundation

[viral tendon]

It's bunny with pancake on his head on leg from 1 legged pukeko meme yes

Whatever

[sharp bay]

man i can't get enough of the free coupons i get from duplicating with somersloops

[vestal hound]

how do you duplicate them?

i left the game cus my only coal ore that was the most near me, was 1100m

[viral tendon]

Piracy and no spyware in the same sentence

[sharp bay]

you just put in a somersloop and it doubles the amount of items outputted with the same amount of resource used
at the cost of more power consumption

[vestal hound]

where?

[sharp bay]

MAM

you unlock it with MAM

[vestal hound]

research station?

[sharp bay]

yes

[viral tendon]

Stop trying to make other people use piracy like you are

[unkempt blade]

recommending piracy is against the server rules so I'd suggest dropping this convo

[viral tendon]

Yep

[vestal hound]

ok

[viral tendon]

And we're deleting the message not like moderators have logs

Bravo

[quiet gust]

how gives a shit unless it s a game like subnautica two where there is very bad buisiness practices, it hurts the people who make the game

no discussing piracy bro self owned

[viral tendon]

What are we proving

[vestal hound]

i just sent the rule bruv

[viral tendon]

Why

[vestal hound]

i copy and pasted it

[peak wasp]

https://tenor.com/view/why-what-in-the-hell-oh-god-pizza-house-on-fire-gif-15536410

[sharp bay]

it's pretty unnecessary because you basically just repeated what the other guy said

[vestal hound]

he sent the rules?

[sharp bay]

in this context yes

[viral tendon]

This might be ragebait

[sharp bay]

real

[viral tendon]

I don't really know

If it's one it's a good one gotta give him that

[peak wasp]

Why are we talking about piracy lol

[quiet gust]

some dude was arguing in favor of it

[viral tendon]

Because the guy reccomemend me it, also stop the conversation

It's against the rules i don't want to get muted

[peak wasp]

Anyway is there a way to get my production lines in Satisfactory Tools back? I deleted them on accident when I deleted browser cookies

[quiet gust]

oof

[viral tendon]

Well no

[quiet gust]

modeler ftw

[peak wasp]

[viral tendon]

What's y'alls favrite dr pepper flavour

[peak wasp]

Limestone

[sharp bay]

yes
(i never drank one before)

[viral tendon]

Then drink one

I'd reccomend to ont start with blackberry

[sharp bay]

don't know how i'm gonna get one tbh

i've never seen one irl ever before

[unkempt blade]

I like the limited edition golden factory cart version

[sharp bay]

cybertruck flavor is better

[viral tendon]

Cyberwagon

[sharp bay]

no. CYBERTRUCK
