satisfactory

[tawdry plank]

one day i will understand them :0

[atomic siren]

oh

[wicked nacelle]

only the current/previous and next station are white, the others are all grey with grey dots

[atomic siren]

still skips it both ways tho lol, thing is I swear I fixed this before I got off a few hours ago

and i think I fixed it with the loop thing I was talking about

[wicked nacelle]

delete and remake the timetable if that doesn't fix it delete and remake the train and if that doesn't fix it, delete, restart game, recreate train

[atomic siren]

alr

if that doesnt fix it then I delete the game and recreate my world

[high plinth]

i love the FICSIT© Corporation inc. they are very humane and good and help all the kitties and doggos and earth and us could not exist with out it

[wicked nacelle]

if that doesn't fix it, delete and remake yourself 🙂

[atomic siren]

yeah looks like I gotta remake this train bc its not even stopping at the desert station

just taking a ride around the world i guess

[wicked nacelle]

I have gotten a weird bug where trains just go in circles -- and I THINK it's related to the switch bug where you make a 3-way switch and it only recognizes two paths for the train to go but all 3 for whether they are connected

if you have any 3 way splits put a bare locomotive engine down in front of it and use a/d keys to see if it gives you all 3 arrows -- left forward and right vs just two left/right

[tawdry plank]

This doesn't make me look forward to trains because I'm patently stupid and I WILL mess it up

[atomic siren]

just 2-ways for now

[wicked nacelle]

ok

[atomic siren]

Not too bad, just gotta understand how to correctly arrange stations and then hopefully you don't deal with the thing i'm having

[humble osprey]

where can i send images

[wicked nacelle]

trains work well once they're built correctly -- but there are a set of rules (including checking for build bugs) that you have to know

[tawdry plank]

yeah but already everything about trains sounds unfun, from timetables to signaling and everything

[wicked nacelle]

#screenshots message

[atomic siren]

I havent even got to signaling and im confused haha

theyre very nice tho, moving my whole base w/ my friend to a new location because some friends might get the game and I really don't want to make a new save and its fairly easy

[tawdry plank]

It doesnt seem fun esp when you have more than one train on a lane

or the second you deal witht junctions

[wicked nacelle]

if you build a 2-rail highway system they work great

[dense violet]

with stations just keep them off the main line

with signals... you can just use block signals if you want

[wicked nacelle]

junctions are simple

[atomic siren]

I feel like thats the easy bit, getting this setup is more of a headache

[dense violet]

you never need path signals

[wicked nacelle]

cobalt said something right

[atomic siren]

this is just a temporary transport thingy so hopefully I wont need multiple trains but will definitely be using them in the future

[wicked nacelle]

a plastic/rubber factory can easily supply many many trains

[dense violet]

you can use block signals forever and with as many trains as you like too

[atomic siren]

at least I finally finished my 4gw fuel plant that has plastic/rubber as a bonus and not the other way around

before it was a plastic/rubber plant with power as a bonus

[wicked nacelle]

I strongly recommend NOT mixing power oil and plastic/rubber oil.

dedicate oil to one or the other

[atomic siren]

why tho

[wicked nacelle]

because one will starve the other -- or you're underutilize

[atomic siren]

wdym?

everything is working fine for now

[rich parrot]

You could always build a rail for each train. Then you could ignore signalling, when each rail only had a single train.

[dense violet]

having production and power dependent on each other can be fiddly and you can accidentally crash your system if you're not careful

you can do it, but you need extra care and I really recommend just keeping it split

[tawdry plank]

you can use the polymer biproduct you get from making the fuel. doesnt seem like it'll starve anything

[wicked nacelle]

take an oil node and build out all the power it will provide. pick another and build out full plastic/rubber.

[wicked nacelle]

that's true, but it's so little it's not worth mentioning.

[tawdry plank]

yeah but then i'd never be satisfied with myself due to not learning how to do it properly

[atomic siren]

for me it's plenty

[wicked nacelle]

for now -- not for long

[tawdry plank]

im a "do it once and do it right" kind of guy which is very hard with trains and infrastructure for me

[atomic siren]

true but this is a 16 gen small setup and I'll build a dedicated plant for plastics/rubber later

[tawdry plank]

yeah but for now it covers his bases. later on he can get a new node for all plastic stuff

[rich parrot]

Well, there is a simple rule for junctions:
Use PATH when you ENTER a junction.
Use BLOCK when you EXIT a junction.
That's it.

[atomic siren]

yeah thats what I plan to do. At least now I'm using polymer resin, before I was using heavy oil residue

[wicked nacelle]

watch for alt recipes: heavy oil residue, diluted (packaged) fuel, recycled rubber, recycled plastic. that's the end game plastic/rubber factory

[atomic siren]

good to know, my luck is really bad with them but will try to get those for sure

[atomic siren]

which I think with 8 main refineries was enough for like 2 fuel generators, now I run 16 which is plenty for now

[daring stag]

just realised one of the achievement is buying the 1000 tickets gold statue

I've been wasting a lot of tickets already..

[tawdry plank]

goodluck farming the coupons 🫡

[daring stag]

thanks. I noticed the dimensional depots are pretty good for that, fill them with expensive items and dump them whenever it's full

[tawdry plank]

i got like 100 but it'll be ages till i get 1k. i dont tend to buy stuff once i bought all the decorations

[tawdry plank]

eh i just have sinks at every factory so once storage is full all the rest go in the sinks

so once i got 1-3 storage containers full of stuff it all goes into overflow

[daring stag]

yeah automatic better idea

[tawdry plank]

smart splitters my beloved

[daring stag]

needs so many points thought to get a ticket now

[wicked nacelle]

that works ok if you have your raw resources ratio'd out perfectly but if they're not perfect you'll find that you're out of stuff that other things want because you're sinking other things that use it.

[daring stag]

even with 3 millions per minute it's slow. but I guess tier 7 and 8 items will boost a lot

[tawdry plank]

better start doing it before phase 5 :>

[silk ocean]

DNA xD

[tawdry plank]

i just send the end result to the sink nothing else. so if the storage is full then i dont need any more

[daring stag]

dna doesn't give me points anymore

[wicked nacelle]

if you're sinking something with a shared resource like aluminum or nitrogen or wahtever, you may find that you're running out of raw resources for other things because you're sinking intermediary products

[tawdry plank]

then ill stop sinking the product if i need it in something else. i dont see the issue

[silk ocean]

Sink 120/min of Nuclear Pasta xD

[tawdry plank]

and plus all my factories till now are self sufficient since i dont use trains

[tawdry plank]

so real

[silk ocean]

xD

[tawdry plank]

once ill use trains ill prob transport my aluminum stuff but first i gotta finish my aluminum factory

and i still dread learning trains

so the system i got works for me now to not have the machines stop

[arctic spindle]

I didn't tend to my factory today

[tawdry plank]

ada doesnt approve

[arctic spindle]

I feel my sense of being crumbling

[arctic spindle]

😔

[tawdry plank]

regain your sense of being pioneer

the factory must g r o w

[silk ocean]

I love that dialogue where the Alien voice is like, I like your curves, ADA is like, That is very inappropriate, tell me more xD

[tawdry plank]

how curvy is Ada's "waves" tho

👀

[silk ocean]

xD

[last tartan]

the Curve build mode on conveyors makes them look so much cleaner 😍

[silk ocean]

Long waves

[last tartan]

im loving it, i have to belt coal over 600m

[vast salmon]

So ive unlocked my first recipe with a bi-product

[mellow tree]

One of my grids just blew and i have NO IDEA where it is

Pray for me

[vast salmon]

oof

how many power grids you got?

[silk ocean]

If my one global grid goes down it's basically factory/game over for me XD

[vast salmon]

oof

[silk ocean]

I honestly have no idea how I would restart it

[vast salmon]

fair enough

id probably shut something off then restart it tbh

[tall plover]

disconnect everything from power source

[vast salmon]

if you can

[tall plover]

turn on power again

slowly reconnect entire grid

[silk ocean]

Yea I'd have to fly around the world and disconnect and power up all of the powerplants individually, power off all the heavy consumers, particle accelerators, etc. Reconnect the powerplants and bring things online slowly

[vast salmon]

also what fuel would be best for the jetpack in early phase 3?

[silk ocean]

Probably packaged Fuel, unless you can do Turbofuel at that point?

[vast salmon]

im currently using solid biofuel, ill try packadged

[silk ocean]

Packaged Fuel has more energy than Biofuel yea

[vast salmon]

yeah, its just what i had on hand tbh

[boreal musk]

turn your solid biofuel into liquid biofuel and package it for jetpack fuel

[silk ocean]

I guess most of us initially use Solid Biofuel

[vast salmon]

ill take a look to see if i have liquid biofuel unlocked

[boreal musk]

it automatically unlocked if you have package milestone done

[arctic spindle]

how do I get 100% making reinforced iron plates

[vast salmon]

i dont yet, plastic is my next factory goal

[tawdry plank]

biofuel actually has much more flight time

but only for jetpacks

it's the best fuel before rocketfuel

[boreal musk]

check how much item/min it needs per cycle, and then supply exactly the numbers for it

[tawdry plank]

#screenshots message

[arctic spindle]

[vast salmon]

i mean they arent wrong

[last tartan]

#screenshots message

check out this conveyor

[boreal musk]

if you want efficiency, you will use math

[vast salmon]

math is very essential yes

[tawdry plank]

imagine doing math in an automation game

[hexed phoenix]

100% as in utilizing all Iron Nodes on Mk. 3 Miner, fully sharded/slooped/SAM converting ect. ?

I'd suggest opening https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/ use the Calculator, and select Reinforced Iron Plate, and click Maximize - and follow procedure :)

[tawdry plank]

i would never :>

i just realized my computer factory will not be nearly enough for supercomputers once i do the train network to move stuff 💀

damnit

[vast salmon]

oof

[tawdry plank]

i only got 2 manufacturers at 100% for computers so it's surely not gonna be enough for phase 4 stuff or phase 5 i bet

i need to scale all my factories up

[last tartan]

dw bro... i have one singular computer, it'll help you out a ton 🤡

[dense violet]

it'll be fine. Just shove a bunch into storage while you do other things. get a few thousand of them

[last tartan]

i found it in a crash site

I finally reconstructed (and actually organized this time) my coal power grid

looks so mucha better

[boreal musk]

for personal use? 5/min comp is already plenty enough

Currently automating 1 nuclear pasta/min

[last tartan]

what is nuclear pasta

can you eat it

[tawdry plank]

nom

i'd say yes go ahead eat it

[idle monolith]

U need nuclear pasta to complete phase 5

And I want to do it

btw is there still da golden coffe cup

?

[last tartan]

you need golden nut statue

[idle monolith]

For the golden coffe?

[last tartan]

no

[idle monolith]

Why

[last tartan]

golden nut is golden nut. golden nut good.

[idle monolith]

I want golden coffe

[last tartan]

no, you want golden nut

[idle monolith]

Both!

[last tartan]

nut is funnier and gooder

technically

[idle monolith]

Both best

[last tartan]

if we go into detail, a coffee bean is a nut and there is coffee in your coffee cup. therefore, you need the golden nut

[idle monolith]

U right!

[last tartan]

lol, coffee bean is NOT a nut

[idle monolith]

Idk

[last tartan]

thought id clarify before total disaster strikes

[tawdry plank]

The coconut nut is also not a nut

It's a coco fruit it's a coco fruit

[snow jewel]

is there are better way of getting leaves and wood for biofuel or do i just keep chainsawing everything

[tawdry plank]

Of the coco tree

[last tartan]

chainsaw until you get coal

[tawdry plank]

Chainsaw until you can get coal power

[idle monolith]

Nuclea paua

[last tartan]

isnt coal still a pretty popular fuel source even amongst endgame players?

[idle monolith]

Der

[tawdry plank]

Nope only until oil

[snow jewel]

dam okay
do you mean just untill i get a conveyor belt from a coal miner or do i need more

[tawdry plank]

All coal gets used for stuff like diamonds after

[last tartan]

is that after unlocking phase 2

[tawdry plank]

Until you get coal generation

[tawdry plank]

Yep

[snow jewel]

thanka

[last tartan]

sweeet!! super excited for oil extracting

[idle monolith]

I mean I‘m phase 5 and I still got my old coal power plant running

[tawdry plank]

It's not worth turning them off unless you really need all the coal

So just keep the old powerplants connected

[idle monolith]

I don’t

[last tartan]

im so relieved to clean up my old power grid

that was a total mess 😮‍💨

[idle monolith]

I only need da nuclear pasta

[silk ocean]

Ironically one achievement I don't yet have is "Complete the Onboarding process." xD

[tawdry plank]

Eat da pasta

Calorie dense pasta

Should I be irresponsible and eat pizza at 10am

[idle monolith]

I need pasta so Space elevator is happy and I can complete phase 5 and get my golden coffe

[tawdry plank]

My stomach says yes

[silk ocean]

Why not xD

[tawdry plank]

Pizza at 10am let's go

[silk ocean]

Food is food

[tawdry plank]

[tawdry plank]

Food is great

I love food in general

[silk ocean]

One of lifes pleasures

[idle monolith]

Ah f I need a maxed out mk6 of copper

I didn’t think about that

I already got every copper node around for super computer

[idle monolith]

Nah even more

I don‘t like copper powder

[tawdry plank]

Pizza is in the oven reheating and the kitchen already smells divine

I'm getting so hungry

[eager tartan]

Idk if this is like a wierd question but does anyone else feel hella sick when the play the game. I just feel like zoned out and stomach starts feeling wierd. Is it just me?

[tawdry plank]

I can zone out for like 10 hrs at a time playing the game without adverse effects are you sure you're not getting motion sickness or something?

Maybe change the motion blur settings or v sync for tearing as they can be a bit disorienting

[eager tartan]

Could be motion sickness, r there certain settings u recommend changing. Legit first time I’ve gotten motion sickness from a game

[tawdry plank]

Well other than motion blur and v sync I got no clue

I never dealt with such issue sorry

[eager tartan]

Lemme see if Reddit’s any help, thanks anyways m8

[boreal musk]

turn off motion sickness, lower ur mouse sensitivity

turning off the shake effect might work too

[silk ocean]

I usually turn off motion blur in most games, not due to getting motion sick, I just find it a bit annoying

[eager tartan]

Motion blur is already off, hmm

[tawdry plank]

I turn it off cause I just hate the look of motion blur in most ganes

Other than spiderman since they do motion blur well so I keep it slightly on

[silk ocean]

It's done pretty well these days, as is depth of field, in modern graphics engines but yeah it orinially was very hit and miss

[tawdry plank]

Tho for speedrunning spiderman miles morales I turned it off

[eager tartan]

Turned off upscaling and switched on vsync, lets hope

[silk ocean]

Turned on motion blur and tbh it's nice, some games it's super blurred, this is a subtle approach

[eager tartan]

Turn on? I thought ppl said its better w it off (It was already off for me)

[silk ocean]

Just to test

Some games when I am turning I feel like I am in a trance or dream XD

[tawdry plank]

Pizza devoured

Now it's time for the factory to grow

[silk ocean]

🍕 gone

[tawdry plank]

Sometimes leftover pizza is even better than fresh

Or maybe it's just my half awake brain really craving pizza

[silk ocean]

I tend to agree xD

I find leftovers area often better 😄

[vast salmon]

srry i wasnt paying attention to discord, im not trying to force you here maybe have like a little area in a spot in the map where all the grids meet up so if one of this gets shut down you can easily identify it and dont need to go to each one, this is just an idea tho

[silk ocean]

Can there be such a thing as "tidy spaghetti" ? Kinda like it's a bit chaotic but in a right-angled and clean sort of way XD

[tawdry plank]

there's a reason coffeestain has used his saves as a BENCHMARKING tool

this is exactly the reason they are turned off

[tawdry plank]

true that's why i only sometimes wish it

more like spur of the moment

Does anyone's discord ever crash when you alt tab from the game? It happens to me every once in a while and got no clue why

[humble osprey]

uh

prefered jetpack fuel?

[silk ocean]

Rocket Fuel? XD

[tawdry plank]

ionized rocket fuel is the best but until then i just use turbo rocket fuel

biofuel is better for jetpackbut it's not worth it for me to get leaves and wood

[daring stag]

is it normal to have unstable energy production? it fluctuates from 5 to 6k

would you fix every power generator

[tawdry plank]

that means that there's a problem in your system. prob one of the pipelines not keeping up with the generators

ideally it is as flat as possible

[daring stag]

yeah but I have so many of them

[tawdry plank]

check whichever one blinks yellow

[daring stag]

I try to solve the problem by having it fluctuates above max cons

[tawdry plank]

and see what is wrong on the way to it

[silk ocean]

Either guarantee that all generators always have what they need (i.e. not shared with other production, or if shared there is still a guaranteed amount going to the powergen), or use plenty of energy storage to ride out the ups and downs

[daring stag]

they're all over the map but yeah

it's fuel that isn't reaching fast enough

[humble osprey]

huh

[daring stag]

or coal/water etc

[tawdry plank]

next factory you make just make sure it doesnt fluctuate

[humble osprey]

fluctioation isnt normal??

[tawdry plank]

it shouldnt fluctuate at all no.

as long as you plan it well

[silk ocean]

Fluctuation is a bit unavoidable if you have 15 geothermals xD

[daring stag]

well t's dangerous because if I have a fluctuation to my lowest gen power and at the same time my cons goes to max, everything goes down

[tawdry plank]

yeah the more pipes the more problems

[humble osprey]

#screenshots message can you take a look at my graph

[tawdry plank]

it looks like 1 or 2 of your gens go off intermittently

not too bad but yea

[daring stag]

4175 to 5925 lol

worse than I thought

[humble osprey]

for context im using rocket fuel only

no geothermal, no nuclear, no biofuel

oh, also, a bunch of rnaodm coal

i throw my byproduct water in a coal plant

[daring stag]

btw how do you automate fuel to a truck station? you need oil nearby?

[silk ocean]

Various options but generally needs some form of logistics to get the fuel to the station yep

If there is a way to produce it locally, you could belt it to the station

[daring stag]

seems pretty involved

nah oil is extremely far away from my truck station

maybe I should expand my rail network and ditch truck

[silk ocean]

You could truck the fuel into another station and distribute it locally. I do that with some remote drone ports, I fly in the fuel service xD

[daring stag]

you also need to package it right?

[silk ocean]

You need to package liquid fuels yep

Solid fuels are generally fine as they are

[humble osprey]

oil or coal

trucks are really impractical

[daring stag]

coal? how so

I have coal and water near one truck station

[silk ocean]

If you do trucks, when you train the route, stay clear of obstacles, and when you move into the station, generally try not to get too close

[foggy heart]

Anyone know of a good camera mod for time-lapses?

[silk ocean]

You can feed them coal I think

[humble osprey]

coal can be used as fuel

[daring stag]

well that simplify things a lot then

[celest lichen]

depends on how many and how far are they apart, if you have multiple station at the drop point you can just manifold fuel to them, if you're talking about a larger and further outpost with multiple station, you could consider adding one in charge of refuelling the pickup ones, but that's hardly ever needed if you have a better fuel source than coal

[silk ocean]

When you drive the route, also make sure to have a separated outbound and return route, so they don't bump into eachother xD

[daring stag]

you mean pure coal directly into the station? that's op

[silk ocean]

Yea they can actually burn coal like a steam engine xD

[daring stag]

well thx that will make it a lot easier Im gonna do it

the truck brings back SAM from the huge grotto in the desert

[true mulch]

Trucks can use anything that lists fuel energy in the description as fuel

[dreamy bane]

can i use the conveyor lift to bring items down? top to bottom?

[daring stag]

you cluster bomb all trees on a truck path?

[silk ocean]

The more trucks you use, the more you will appreciate trains 😉

[daring stag]

yeah but trains are brainy

[silk ocean]

Signals take a bit of getting used to but they aren't so bad

[daring stag]

I have a single track rail that just does A to B (load to A, unload B)

[silk ocean]

Yea you can always just do one line, one train, no signals

[daring stag]

not very scalable

[silk ocean]

No not scalable, generally it's best to have dual trunk lines, and branch stations off from that

[daring stag]

damn I have a lot of stuff running parallel to my single track

belts

guess I'll do that for other bases though

[silk ocean]

Nothing to worry about in the earlier stages of the game, sounds like you are doing good, you can always upgrade the railways as you progress

[daring stag]

I'm not the kind to destroy and rebuild, I prefer starting from scratch elsewhere and let the old stuff work

[humble osprey]

#screenshots message should i build more fuel burners or more batteries for this situation?

[silk ocean]

Yes I have some original parts of my factory that still provide things like iron plates for building that I just don't tend to destroy and rebuild

[daring stag]

yeah just putting all into sink for instance

map is big

[silk ocean]

I did build a "starter fac" for phases 1-3 and then mostly tear it down and rebuild to a more advanced standard

Sure is, you're not going to be space constrained xD

My general rule when building out foundations for a part of the factory.. When I think I have left enough space... triple it xD

[midnight pollen]

I just started playing very recently and I hate the main enemy. Can't collect resources without one aggroing on me 🥀

[idle monolith]

I built the first half of my phase 5 „starter factory“

[silk ocean]

Most resources are guarded by some mobs yep xD

[humble osprey]

oh dear

[reef basin]

I'd generally recommend keeping them around, rebuilds just waste time for no real gain

[silk ocean]

It was quite small relatively speaking xD

[true mulch]

You can, multiple ways to do it. One is R for reverse mode

Make sure to check all build modes for everything that has them

[midnight pollen]

lil bro is blocking my access to my crafting station 🥀

[idle monolith]

Does someone know how much SAM you can maximally get

!wikisearch Resource+Node

[fossil ice]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/index.php?search=Resource+Node

[true mulch]

There's a table

[true mulch]

Gotta have 1 per person in multiplayer lol

[idle monolith]

10020 is definitely enough

[true mulch]

You can sloop the reanimated SAM constructors

[idle monolith]

Ye

But alone the Sam is enough

I don’t need more than 1200 right now

[mellow tree]

Yeah im gonna end up doing that when i get to nuclear power...or oil. havent decided yet

[lost wagon]

My factories never end up the way I plan in my head, quite sad

[vast salmon]

fair enough

im probably going to do that when i get to nuclear tbh

[lost wagon]

Trying to make a "big" factory per biome, but if you don't play all the nodes beforehand you end up with stuff scattered

[south lion]

Guys do u have 1 stack per item by default in dimensional depots and u just upgrade to more stacks of each item?

Just makin sure if that's how it works

[slate glen]

[rich trout]

hi, Has alot changed since 2021?

[silk ocean]

Yas

[tawdry plank]

Well yes. 1.0 esp has changed a lot of the game

Now you don't really need storage bases anymore cause of cloud depots etc

[lost wagon]

Still good to have one

how do you guys put on railing on curved roadas

[silk ocean]

I don't think it's possible but I am usually wrong xD

[subtle hatch]

How many rotors will i need in the future? Should i make a separate factory for them?

[late tartan]

Is there a place where i can get the model files for the plutonium and ficsonium fuel rods?

[humble osprey]

yes

[subtle hatch]

Oh no

Also hi Dan

[silk ocean]

or maybe not xD

[humble osprey]

do i know u

[ashen spruce]

Guess who's back.

[late tartan]

Sketchfab has plutonium

[subtle hatch]

[ashen spruce]

Anyone wanna yap?

[late tartan]

I just need to find ficsonium

[ashen spruce]

Find?

You make Ficsonium

[late tartan]

Im trying to 3D print the models

[ashen spruce]

Ah yes

[late tartan]

I have the uranium fuel rod being printed right now.

[ashen spruce]

I kinda feel like they look similar, but with other colors.

Not the same, but definetly similar.

Maybe make Ficsonium itsself.

[late tartan]

Thats kinda what im thinking but i haven’t messed with plutonium or ficsonium in game yet so i dont know

[ashen spruce]

That looks cool.

[late tartan]

Im going to be making the models glow as well

[tawdry plank]

Ah yes the Ikea head lamp

[late tartan]

Except this one put out deadly amounts of radiation and can act as a space heater :)

[ashen spruce]

And make a lot of power when fed to a NPP

[tawdry plank]

Welp at least it's pretty :>

Worth the radiation

[late tartan]

Exactly

[tawdry plank]

Can't say Uranium without 'yum' :>

[daring stag]

where are there giant spiders in this cave tho

[silk ocean]

They couldn't fit through the entrance xD

[late tartan]

Right behind you

[daring stag]

they don't know I have 1000hours in deep rock galactic

[ashen spruce]

German "Uran

[daring stag]

I have huge power problems tho

[ashen spruce]

Fuel Power Plant it is

[tawdry plank]

Good thing German ain't real

[daring stag]

I need to use fuel source and only make energy with it

[ashen spruce]

I am german, wdym bruv?

[ashen spruce]

Yup

[tawdry plank]

Obviously you mean eastern dutch people :)

[ashen spruce]

Make it Turbofuel tho

[tawdry plank]

/j

[daring stag]

hm I was using orange fuel

[ashen spruce]

Dutch ain't real

[tawdry plank]

So true tho

It's just English+German UwU-fied

[late tartan]

Make more power

[ashen spruce]

Someone name me "German #1 True Believer"

[tawdry plank]

At least it's not Danish

[ashen spruce]

Oh so now german is real?!

[tawdry plank]

Only in my delusions

[late tartan]

One thing I’ve noticed is that whenever i upgrade my power, it always goes up by a minimum factor of 4x

[ashen spruce]

Congrats.

[tawdry plank]

Same here I went from 1500 to 6k then to 32k MW

[ashen spruce]

World Before World After moment

[daring stag]

I wish I discovered you could dismantle crash sites earlier

[verbal yoke]

wait, is it not possible to have trains just go back and forth along a line, or do they require a turnaround spot?
When I placed a train (one engine in each direction) it still decided to just go in one direction and mark the other station as unreachable

[tawdry plank]

It's only been a thing since 1.1

So it's a recent change

[daring stag]

well I never played before 1.1 tbh

[late tartan]

Its possible. Most going for a one way approach tho. That method is going for first setup and simple lines.

[humble osprey]

Hiiii

Can you guys give me build suggestions if I show what I've made so far

#screenshots message
What else can I add here to make it look like a proper road and parking lot

[silk ocean]

My artistic skills almost reached the ability to draw a circle one time... I'm probably not much use here XD

[daring stag]

night in the red bamboos, can it get better

[tawdry plank]

i made my aluminum factory there :>

[daring stag]

the first time I went there I only had the xeno basher and the parachute lol

didn't know anything about the area

[dense violet]

There’s a whole channel for that where you can post images

[tawdry plank]

i went straight to the swamp with that equipment 💀

instant death

those bloody stingers

[daring stag]

the first time I saw the green one I didn't know there was that stuff in the game

now that was scary

[smoky forge]

i didnt know spiders were in the gme untill i played whithout the mods my friend gave me

3 lil spiders in a cave scared da shii outa me

[daring stag]

somehow they're worse than spiders with the strafing and such

but when you have the correct gear that becomes ok

[tawdry plank]

the arachnophobia mode makes it scarier tbh

seeing a cat png lunge straight in your face

[daring stag]

yeah it seems weird

I know you can disable stuff to passive but exploring the world is a good part of my fun with the game

world needs to be dangerous or it's boring

[tawdry plank]

After a certain point the enemies become just a hassle tho

Esp the damage sponge alpha hogs

[daring stag]

yeah the big hog takes like 100 bullets

[tawdry plank]

I use cluster bombs or turbo bullets for them

Easier to spam 75 at a time to their face

[daring stag]

yeah I have to unlock the turbo ammo

[tawdry plank]

I didn't explore half the map till start of phase 4 so I got a lot of ammo ready and stocked up

[daring stag]

I use like 1/2k homing ammo when I do an explore run

[tawdry plank]

Turbo for the hogs and the bug spawner thingies and clusters for everything else

[daring stag]

thank god for alien depot

[tawdry plank]

And homing ammo for random spitters

[daring stag]

idk the cluster seems not too great in combat for me

maybe I don't use it correctly

[tawdry plank]

But usually I just stick to cluster bombs tho

It just kills everything if it sticks to them

And sometimes the lil clusters also hit that same enemy

[daring stag]

oh ok I was aiming the ground

[tawdry plank]

You can kill a big hog in 3 clusters or so

[silk ocean]

You can hold to charge up the throw

[tawdry plank]

If you don't miss

[tawdry plank]

I only figured that out after like 20 hrs of using them

[silk ocean]

Probably me too XD

[daring stag]

it's great for "terraforming"

put a dozen of cluster on the ground, then explode all at once, no more forest

[tawdry plank]

remember to always consume

anyway brb

[silk ocean]

Plunder this alien world for everything it can give, be a human xD

[tawdry plank]

i tend to explode them in air so the clusters fly out farther

[humble osprey]

Yes I've posted there

You got any ideas?

[tawdry plank]

he means the design channel

to talk about design with the image next to it

not in a different channel and link it

[rain crystal]

Would someone be up to start a co op world? I wanted fir a long time but i have no friend that plays satisfactory

[verbal yoke]

I just realised that you can put ficsit coupons back in the awesome sink fsr
(as in not sink them, but physically put them back in the slot where they come out)

[fossil ice]

Hello there totally awesome user! You can checkout #1201555265942724758 and check the pins on how to find folks to play with. <3

[true mulch]

only if there's less than 500 total

[verbal yoke]

in what situation would you ever have over 500 coupons though?

[true mulch]

the humble golden nut statue:

[verbal yoke]

yeah but each coupon gets harder, no?
do people really get the golden nut?

[true mulch]

you just let it run 🤷

[boreal musk]

ppl who want that achievement does

[true mulch]

if you start sinking early on and sink all overflow, it comes without any effort

[verbal yoke]

there's an achievement for it?

[boreal musk]

just sink 5/min bwd, you will easily reach 1k coupons in no time

[verbal yoke]

I guess I've just kinda looped tiers 1-6 each time I've played the game, so I wouldn't really know how many ya get with late stage overflow, but it just seems absurd
(each time I'm nearing T7 fsr I just stopped for a while and then forgot about the game, and after I come back I look at the factory I no longer recognise, scrutinize it and start over, I've done this since update 2)

[gilded goblet]

i dont know just how realistic this is, but I want to setup my new iron factory to produce 30 rods/m 80 screws/m 20 iron plates/m 30 rplates/minute 10-15 modular frames/m and 22.50 rotors/minute

[lean ferry]

guys

I was spamming manufacturers for phase 3 and I got a power outage

[true mulch]

totally reasonable, don't bother making screws for storage though

[gilded goblet]

oh?

[true mulch]

they are used for only a few researches and specifically the AWESOME Shop and nothing else

[gilded goblet]

ah

[lean ferry]

I do have diluted packaged fuel, but idk if I should
A. get heavy oil residue recipe from hdd hunting (for phase 3 onwards)
B. ignore diulted packaged and just spam turbofuel generator
C. make bunch of plastic and stuff sink it all and use heavy oil residue for diluted

[gilded goblet]

what ab rods and regular plates

p sure those are rlly useful

[lean ferry]

how many mercer spheres u got? it would be very helpful if you could dimensional depot them

[gilded goblet]

not enough to get depot, plus I need to get 10 SAM ore

[lean ferry]

using dimensional depot for mk 3 conveyors was best thing ever I never had to restock steel beams from tier 3-6

[gilded goblet]

yea

[lean ferry]

you can check satisfactory interactive map if u want to just get it immediately or u can find it yourself

[gilded goblet]

ah

fair enough, i was just about to go there to find sufficient iron nodes 😂

[lean ferry]

wha tier are you btw

[south sinew]

always use diluted or diluted packaged fuel if you got it

[verbal yoke]

yeah I mean looks good, I think I make only 20m⁻¹ for each and that's done me well

[lean ferry]

i dont think its worth it tho I dont have recipe for heavy oil res

[south sinew]

diluted fuel is insanely good even without that

[gilded goblet]

i completed phase 1 so 3-4

[lean ferry]

hold on let me check my ratios for diluted packaged

nevermind you are right

I make double the fuel lol time to restart my whole entire powerplant

I made it before diluted packaged anyways

[hard ivy]

It's literally 2x worse without it

[south sinew]

pretty sure that 2x worse is still better than the alternatives

in fact if I recall, it's still about twice as good as other options

[hard ivy]

Fair

But I still wouldn't bother setting it up without it

And definitely not a second power plant

[idle monolith]

How do I get turbo fuel

[hard ivy]

Mam sulfur tree

Not that I'd bother with it, at least for power

[gilded goblet]

time to put another like 4k wire into my awesome sink

[idle monolith]

Ahhhhh

Quickly gonna go to my nuclear power plant and steal a little bit of sulfur

[restive ridge]

How do you guys generally set up your train networks? Coming from factorio the logic available seems a bit simple

I was hoping to set it up so mixed trains would roam around the map picking up and dropping items but idk how practical that seems

[hasty cradle]

I always Just use belts or drones

[restive ridge]

even for long distance?

[hasty cradle]

Yup

[tawdry plank]

I'm still avoiding trains myself so sorry can't help there

Tho I'm in the minority here

[hasty cradle]

Usually drones for long distance bc the only thing i transport long distance are things like turbo motors or supercomputers

[restive ridge]

for example getting SAM/quartz out of the western desert cave and into my base seems like a pretty big undertaking

[hasty cradle]

My main base is in the rocky desert

Infrastructure everywhere

And im gonna go set up radar for the whole map for easy planning and infrastructure

[wanton fox]

Quick question, im using diluted packed fuel as energy. But i just finished tier 7. Should i move from that fuel to Turbo fuel or rocket fuel?. Or just wait a little to Nuclear? (i have 10K to spend in energy)

[restive ridge]

i just though the idea of various train stations around the map connected to medium/small sized factories was cool

[hasty cradle]

You should try to get diluted fuel and use that for the rocket fuel

[tawdry plank]

That's how a lot of people do it. Me and kiwi are in the minority here lol

[hasty cradle]

Heavy oil residu alt+ diluted fuel alt+ nitro rocket fuel alt is insanely good

[tawdry plank]

Tho for supplying small amounts of things drones are better

[hasty cradle]

I can use 8 blenders 5 refineries 150 oil 400 sulfur 200 coal 400 nitrogen gas for like 37.5 gw

[restive ridge]

speaking of fuel, how do you guys set up fuel generators? because just the residual heavy oil from my rubber/plastic factory turned into normal fuel is taking up a ton of space

[tawdry plank]

Nitro rocket fuel recipe is convenient and you can get a lot of power

[restive ridge]

i couldn't imagine where to fit the generators in a dedicated turbo fuel build

[hasty cradle]

Turbofuel is rlly skippable

[tawdry plank]

Well space you can just build more foundation. No workaround for that with fuel gens

[hasty cradle]

Rocket fuel is way better imo

[tawdry plank]

Fuel gens take a lot of space

[restive ridge]

i'd need hundreds of em

[ashen spruce]

bwd?

[boreal musk]

ballistic warp drive, the most complicated item in the game

[ashen spruce]

ah ok

[boreal musk]

which give them the most value when sunked

[idle monolith]

While automating nuclear pasta:

Radio control unit:
You only need 62 copper for me!

Copper powder:
You know what they say it’s not all sunshine and rainbows

[tawdry plank]

Guys should I do my super computer factory first or do the rocketfuel plant. I still got quite a bit of energy but either way I'd have to do either one after the other

[fathom shuttle]

It’s finally done bruh
#screenshots message

@boreal musk is there any reason that 1200 bauxite doesn’t work? Like bro howww it doesn’t make any sense

[fathom shuttle]

Rocket fuel, get it out of the way first

[boreal musk]

it works, but the clocking cant be done without 4th electrode refinery, and you need to rebuild your pipe since mk2 cant hold 840/min

[frail sleet]

rocket or nuclear, i like rocket cause it makes jetpack and vehicle fuel too

[boreal musk]

which is very inconvenient to me and i rather have 2nd 600/min system

which can be built with bp, much faster to do

[fathom shuttle]

Yea the thing is, I did have a 4th refinery and clocked the others appropriately
Then separated the waste water into 2 which was 420/min for each pipe

But for whatever reason it does not work

Sucks but whatever
All that’s left now is to rebalance the trains

[boreal musk]

did you math the waste water back into the alumina refinery as well?

each one need 420/min

if clocked to twice speed

[fathom shuttle]

Yep that’s what I did,

[daring stag]

in theory it is better to have a lot of buildings than having boosted buildings? if space is unlimited say

[hard ivy]

Map is huge (on the order of 50 km², 1-2 km in height), but your time isn't unlimited

[daring stag]

true

[hard ivy]

If you have the shards, it's better to OC everything

[tawdry plank]

On my way

[daring stag]

I have more shards than I can use without breaking my energy limit tbh

[hard ivy]

It's only 34% more power (per item) for 250% anyway

[ashen spruce]

well, ingame it is! 🤓

[daring stag]

I'm building a turbofuel power plant

you would boost everything there?

[ashen spruce]

Because you don't seem to age, nor does ADA care if you just don't save the day!

[daring stag]

got 3 pure oil source, coal, sulfur nearby

[boreal musk]

id rather have them overclocked

less machine = more processing = more fps for me especially in late game

[daring stag]

hum yea

even with my 3090 I noticed some huge frame drops

I think it's CPU bound

[tawdry plank]

The game is never GPU bound only CPU bound tbh

[gilded goblet]

can someone peep #screenshots and tell me if this will load balance right?

[daring stag]

yeah with all the entities to track

[tawdry plank]

It really likes CPUs with more vcache like the x3D CPUs

[hard ivy]

Nah, if you crank the settings to max, it'll be GPU bound pretty much throughout

[daring stag]

idk I never reached my 165fps (gsync monitor) with 3090

90fps is best I can have in empty area

[ashen spruce]

Watch me, speedrunning the game in a .1 x .1 km area!

[daring stag]

seems it's both cpu and gpu heavy I guess lol

[ashen spruce]

I won't though. So have fun waiting.

[gilded goblet]

does anyone know if that setup will load balance properly?

[ashen spruce]

Nope

I think

[gilded goblet]

sadge

[hard ivy]

Nope

Don't bother tho

[spice patio]

Probably broken Nvidia GPU driver install.
Make #1038092680493801533 thread and I'll post fix instructions.

[hard ivy]

For only one belt total, balancers are pretty useless

[gilded goblet]

well i was gonna have my reinforced plates assembler which makes 15/m and balance it across all 5 of my assem's

[hard ivy]

Or they turned on global illumination lol

[daring stag]

I might be CPU bound it's pretty old 9900k

[ashen spruce]

Load Balancing only really works with 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, etc. (I think)

[daring stag]

yeah I turned everything to the max even if I don't know what it is

[golden river]

make thread and figure it out 🙂
worth a try

[gilded goblet]

interesting

[spice patio]

Not in empty save.
Only with more stuff built, and that would be easy to check with ingame "stat unit" command.

[gilded goblet]

i guess I could just do 2 assemblers maybe

30 plates a minute double what I need

[daring stag]

could check, the only annoying lag for now is during combat strangely

[gilded goblet]

in cases just like mine, lol

[daring stag]

the homing ammo make the game drop fps a lot lol

[hard ivy]

Nah, you can do a 1:5, but just... why?

[ashen spruce]

someone say 1-4.

[ashen spruce]

How that?

[daring stag]

btw on turbo fuel power plant #screenshots message

[ashen spruce]

I mean, no reason not to use Manifolds.

[hard ivy]

Do a 2:6 and loop the extra output to the extra input. You're left with a 1:5

[ashen spruce]

tas dumb

[boreal musk]

wdym dumb, thats how balancing works

[hard ivy]

It works 🤷‍♂️

[boreal musk]

6 ways, merge 1 back into line and you get 5

[hard ivy]

If you just merge, you're limited to 5/6ths of a full belt of input

If you want a full belt, you need a 2:2 balancer at the start, not a merger

[gilded goblet]

did I just start a war? 😂

[ashen spruce]

so like this? #screenshots

[ashen spruce]

Mini Nuking you!

[boreal musk]

yea you want to split it into 2 lane first if youre working with full belt for 5 ways

[hard ivy]

That's the 5/6ths capacity setup, but yes

[foggy heart]

when looping a pipe manifold, does the loop need to connect back to where the manifold starts, or can it be before that ?

[fathom shuttle]

I’d simply manifold it

[gilded goblet]

I just need something that'll make my assemblers put 15 items evenly in 3's across 5 more assemblers

and i started a war accidentally

[fathom shuttle]

Wdym? For loops you just connect the ends

[fathom shuttle]

Split into 3 until you get 30 belts, then merge two belts into one belt and you’ll get 15 equal belts

[gilded goblet]

what 😭

i have 5 assemblers, need 3 items in each

[foggy heart]

yeah I know, but the first junction will be using 3 of the 4 outputs (1 input, 1 to machine, 1 to next junction) so I'm wondering if I can loop from the end of the manifold to before the first junction, or if it needs to connect to the first junction

[fathom shuttle]

Assemblers have 2 inputs or do you mean 3/min?

[gilded goblet]

i'm doing a factory for modular frames

[lean ferry]

how much aluminium do I need guys

[gilded goblet]

yes

[lean ferry]

im about to finish phase 3 i need like 20 frame- how many sheet and casing I need p/m

[fathom shuttle]

Yea you can connect it there
Faster startup as well

[lean ferry]

and should I remove my steel beam depot and make it aluminium sheet

[fathom shuttle]

You’ll need sheets for your dimensional depot, 60/min is fine for starters

[daring stag]

bro I don't get it, when you make a turbo fuel power plant, the ratio of refinery to power plants is 1:2?

that seems op

[lean ferry]

but I am dedicated ficsit employee

the factory must grow

[hard ivy]

Depends on the clock speed?

[daring stag]

I overclocked everything, no sloops though

[lean ferry]

TF

[fathom shuttle]

Wait until bro learns about rocket fuel…

[lean ferry]

I SLOOPED MY ASSEMBLER IT LOOKS LIKE ITS GONNA EXPLODE 😭

[daring stag]

also the ratio of extractor to fuel burner seems even more insane

[lean ferry]

phase 3 space ele is FINNALY done ima go do aluminium stuff now

[daring stag]

1:8

[hard ivy]

Yeah, then I'd suggest you redo your math. Because there's no TF recipe that makes twice as much as a generator consumes at the same clock speed

[fathom shuttle]

Probably forgot a zero there or something

[daring stag]

I have alternate turbo heavy fuel

[hard ivy]

Ouch

[daring stag]

it outputs 75 turbo per minute

[hard ivy]

By far the worst recipe

[daring stag]

at 250

it feeds 4 burners at 250%

[fathom shuttle]

You have blenders unlocked and rocket fuel and you’re going for turbo fuel??

Crazy work ngl

[daring stag]

with sloop that would make 8 burners for 1 refinery

yeah didn't look into rocket fuel yet; I had shutdown nonstop needed fast power fix

[hard ivy]

I suggest you get diluted fuel instead

Turbo heavy fuel is an awful recipe

[lean ferry]

why did ada call me a monkey 😦

[daring stag]

why

[lean ferry]

"this is so simple even monkey could understand"

[hard ivy]

You'll get the same amount of power (ok like 5% less) but with water instead of sulfur and coal

[fathom shuttle]

Then go make it bruh

[ashen spruce]

Phase 4 Progress Presentation be like:
Don't even try
Won't understand
Don't bother

[lean ferry]

btw should I hdd grind for heavy oil residue recipe? I have diluted packaged fuel

[daring stag]

I have alternate compacted coal on assembler

[south sinew]

if you can

[daring stag]

not sure that change anything

[south sinew]

HOR recipe is a powerful additive to diluted fuel

[ashen spruce]

Most casual Session Name:
BeFrIdIgEnD 1.1 (Satisfactory 1.1 translated to german)

[hard ivy]

That's the only way to get compacted coal without making rocket or ionized fuel (which make compacted coal as a byproduct)

[fathom shuttle]

If you’re making any large scale oil related product heavy oil residue and diluted fuel are a must

[lean ferry]

then time to hdd farm :9

[hard ivy]

And both recycling recipes
Well, except when making fuel or fabric

[lean ferry]

bruh I literally skipped on recycled plastic

-_-

NVM its there lol

[fathom shuttle]

You want both recycled recipes like rubber and plastic

[lean ferry]

should I get the recycling recipe? the other option is heavy flexible frame

but I mean I alr got heavy encased so...

[fathom shuttle]

Recycling def, the flexible frame recipe is terrible

[south sinew]

the recycling recipes are super strong

[lean ferry]

other than that the only good recipes i have left are fused wire and copper rotor

are they good??

[fathom shuttle]

Fused wire is pretty good, it saves on Caterium

[lean ferry]

and fused quickwire and solid steel

[hard ivy]

3 plastic/rubber from each m³ oil

[south sinew]

fused wire is definitely good

[lean ferry]

fused wire or fused quickwire?

[fathom shuttle]

Solid steel is very good

[fathom shuttle]

The one that makes quickwire

[south sinew]

fused wire is better than fused quickwire IMO but both can be quite useful

solid steel ingot is very good as wel

[lean ferry]

I can choose both anyways

im gonna choose them later tho

cuz If i choose lal now i will get more options next time I hdd hunt

[hard ivy]

Eh, iron pipe made solid steel lose a lot of its usefulness

[lean ferry]

I want to narrow down and get good recipes like recycled rubber and heavy oil residue

I have diluted packaged and recycled plastic

[south sinew]

solid steel saves coal and iron, and also makes iron ingot alts like pure available to use

so IMO still really good

[fathom shuttle]

@daring stag you can make 144GW from 600/min oil with rocket fuel

[hard ivy]

Oh, I'm not saying it's no longer good, but I do use it a lot less often than I used to

[ashen spruce]

Next Person to write something gets a Lizzard Doggo!

[hard ivy]

Nobody wants a Doggo it seems

[cedar portal]

Is it one of the 12 that 1.0 deleted?

[reef basin]

the answer is the same as last time - pick what you personally like more

[gilded goblet]

still trying to figure out how I can split my rplates

[hard ivy]

Manifold

[gilded goblet]

ah

idk why I didn't think of that

[fathom shuttle]

If you use all sulfur in bluecrater you can make 287GW from rocket fuel and an extra 25GW from turbo fuel
At the cost of like 330 oil

[cedar portal]

How many buildings is that? Generators and production.

[gilded goblet]

is 1000MW 1gw or 10,000MW 1gw

[fathom shuttle]

Depends on if you’re overclocking or not
Without overclocking, it’s a lot of generators

[south sinew]

1GW = 1000MW

[gilded goblet]

ah

i was like, thank god I dont have to worry about GW's for a while, as I'm making 1200MW's 😂

[fathom shuttle]

@cedar portal #screenshots message this is what around 112GW of rocketfuel looks like, every row is fully overclocked and consume 600/min rocket fuel

You need around 57 fully overclocked generators for 1 600/min pipe

[gilded goblet]

what, the FUCK

[cedar portal]

I'm making 240Gw using nuclear and want to expand but my nuclear production line is a giant hot mess and i can't cram anything more into it. Been pondering doing fuel generators just cause.

[fathom shuttle]

The machines to make it aren’t a lot, 4 blenders and 6 refineries

[fathom shuttle]

Someone in the server made a factory that’s like 10x the size of mine lol

[gilded goblet]

just fucking why

[fathom shuttle]

It’s quick and easy to set up tbh, I’ll help you out if you need

How much power extra do you need?

[cedar portal]

I think I might just have to cram more machines into my nuclear swamp. Thats a LOT of generators. 🙂

[fathom shuttle]

Took me less than 30 minutes to place them down

The amount of powershards is crazy tho so keep that in mind

[cedar portal]

I'm more concerned for the CPU load, I'm pushing the limits already, lots of slowdowns in big factory areas

[fathom shuttle]

I probably have a worse cpu and haven’t noticed anything

I have like 1k machines in the same area of blue crater and I’m not experiencing anything

[cedar portal]

I get down to 30fps sometimes. Seems to be random as I can be in an area and it's fine at 60 then drops to 45-30

[ashen belfry]

Technically u are already generation 1,2GW

[cedar portal]

My main factory has 9000 machines in it

[fathom shuttle]

Is it near blue crater?

[gilded goblet]

yea I realized

[fathom shuttle]

A while ago I made a 1k battery pack and the lag went away when I covered it up with walls

[cedar portal]

That is down in the green starting area, but I have large factories all over.

[ashen spruce]

You are being promoted!

[fathom shuttle]

That’s less than the power consumption of some late game machines btw

[gilded goblet]

:(

[fathom shuttle]

Oh then lag shouldn’t be an issue

Too far away to render

[gilded goblet]

i'm getting a new PC soon which is good cuz my PC Is already starting to struggle running the game, lol

[cedar portal]

I have a 3000/min aluminum factory plus rubber/plastic in the west oil fields, but have not touched the new extraction oil well they added.

[wanton fox]

Ty for the answer, another question, im looking for build, but aside of the al recipe for rocket fuel, what other alt recipe should go?

[fathom shuttle]

Blue crater is the big lake in the south east
It’s north of the purple forest

[cedar portal]

@fathom shuttle My starter factory that makes small amounts of everything now, mostly unused since I am not making elevator parts anymore.
I get about 40fps here

[tawdry plank]

diluted fuel, heavy residual oil etc are also useful

for a power plant factory

[lean ferry]

whats keyt to go through 2nd area of hypertube branch

[tawdry plank]

E

[lean ferry]

im making hypertube cannon and I forgor key

[maiden brook]

Hello everyone! 👋

[lean ferry]

ok thanks

[fathom shuttle]

Sheesh, I dismantled mine ages ago because I thought it was ugly

It was no where near as bad as this lmao

[wanton fox]

last quesiton, sorry for bothering, any build to get and idea of how set things up?

[fathom shuttle]

Nitro rocket fuel
Heavy oil residue
Diluted fuel

[cedar portal]

A few bits are still running, I kept it because they kept adding new tiers so it was easy to add stuff to this thing to get the new parts. The rest of my factories made after blueprints wwere a thing are a bit nicer 😄

[wanton fox]

ty

[tawdry plank]

best figure out your own layout in a modeler or the tools site to see what you need. im still planning the layout of my factory

[dreamy scroll]

I love that station tower. Iconic.

[lean ferry]

im makign hypertube cnanon that branches you back into entrance so basiclly particle accelerator

do I needa spam e to change junction or time it

[tawdry plank]

with how fast it goes i just spam it

since depending on how small the loop is you can miss the timing very easily

[cedar portal]

@fathom shuttle My nuclear reactors are at least lined up nice in rows. Uranium, plutonium, ficsonium.

[cedar portal]

Thanks. I couldn't fit all the stations I needed for importing stuff to my mall factory so decided to go up. It came out really nice I thought

[bold python]

I can’t wait for the moment I switch my power plant on 600m^3 of oil to heavy oil residue, then diluted fuel then into 70 refineries with comp coal to make turbo fuel for 120 generators

[ashen spruce]

SPAM E

Go as fast as you want and then spam e

sorry, caps was on

[tawdry plank]

quick guys how much uranium is there on the map

[bold python]

3

[tawdry plank]

what about 4

[bold python]

Shit, maybe

[tawdry plank]

maybe 5?

i can only count to 4 tho D:

[bold python]

Use satisfactory map on ur browser and filter fir uranium

[tawdry plank]

yeah i am doing that rn was just hoping anyone knew the number quick

[lean ferry]

I need a macro to spam E bro

[tawdry plank]

looking for all the nodes

[tawdry plank]

lol

[gilded goblet]

its okay if I do a manifold producing 100 items and I only need 90 yea? or should I underclock a machine or two to get it to 90

[cedar portal]

Overproducing generally isn't a problem unless you are sinking extras. If you are only using 90 items then your machines will throttlee down automaticly once the buffers fill up

[lean ferry]

guys theres bauxite on other side of map (hypercannon worked yay) theres coal next to bauxite next to water do I:

A) bring power tower for ages
B) make a bunch of coal gens

[gilded goblet]

ok so I could just leave it at 100 for now till I get smart splitters then sink the extras?

[stray loom]

Fine to just let it run unless you are OCD about your power graph being a perfect flat line

[gilded goblet]

eh i dont check it very often

[cedar portal]

Yes, although you don't HAVE to sink the extras. It will run fine.

[gilded goblet]

ah

alright

[cedar portal]

Those people have a bad time once they reach Particle Accelerators. And trains. And all the rest of the things that are variable.

[dreamy scroll]

Power towers is my vote

[lean ferry]

hold on let me do some deforestation with 100 cluster nobelisks

[stray loom]

I only hate that it makes it harder to tell if I have an issue with a production ratio being off because machines aren't able to run 100%

[tawdry plank]

how tf will i get 6800 sulfur to the rocket fuel plant 💀

[cedar portal]

I wish we had production graphs like Dyson Sphere Program. It's got the BEST stats of any factory game I've ever seen. So easy to keep an eye on the entire galaxy.

[lean ferry]

time to spend like 30 mins bringing power to bauxite 😦

[stray loom]

Man I haven't played that in forever. I remember giving it a go right after it first came out

[dreamy scroll]

Just think about all the treasures you will find on your adventures infil

[bleak pollen]

Just realized I’ve been calling steel black iron for the past three days💔

[tawdry plank]

power towers are pretty quick. or you can use rail lines to transfer power

[cedar portal]

@fathom shuttle I have more ugly to show. My aluminium production at the west oil fields.
#screenshots message

[tawdry plank]

if you run trains

[austere flume]

anybody else got despawning storage boxes when ur inv is full?

[cedar portal]

I played the heck out of that, but on an extended break. I'm finally picking Satisfactory back up after the 1.1 update to play with the new toys and make some new goals.

[lean ferry]

did you just say rail lines

[stray loom]

Absolutely hideous. I love it

[tawdry plank]

yes

[lean ferry]

rail lines transfer power

[dense turtle]

should i get modular frames automated? like to have them a lot stored? or its not worth it

[tawdry plank]

they transfer power yes

[lean ferry]

thats bloody crazy

[tawdry plank]

you will need modular frames later on and a lot so yes

[lean ferry]

I never knew that what

[white dawn]

It's worth it to automate anything which you use for building things, which is most resources in the game. So yes, automate Modular Frames

[reef basin]

Sinks

[boreal musk]

pro tip, foundations.

[cedar portal]

I started this save in 2019 so a lot of the mess is from years of incremental tweaking as they added things, changed recipies and I learned more. Lots of stuff crammed in wherever i could fit it

[white dawn]

I would advise against trying to "future-proof" your automations, though. Just automate what you need for your own personal use. Then if some other factory needs more Modular Frames in the future, make more Modular Frames right inside that new factory.

[reef basin]

How does it differ from Factorio's?

[white dawn]

Modular Frames might seem complicated now, but by the end of the game you won't think twice about spinning up some new MF production. :)

[lean ferry]

hard drive and 2 modular frames

covered by 2 massive spitter and radioactive hog

[cedar portal]

I do have some nice looking buildings with supports and everythign in the desert, but I kinda like to build with the terrain. Even if it's a god awful mess

[dense turtle]

okay because my plan is to get all 4 basic assembler thingies automated

and would yall say 1 or 2 assemblers for smart plating

[white dawn]

Yep, automate all the things. :) Automation is the game's primary gameplay loop, after all!

[white dawn]

For Elevator parts, you can generally just get by with a single machine. It's all down to how long you want to wait for the Elevator delivery to finish

[stray loom]

Just do 1 to start and let it pile up in a container while you do other stuff

[dense turtle]

aight then 1 it is

[stray loom]

If you feel like it's not fast enough then you can go back and add more

[lean ferry]

MY HERO CLUSTER NOBELISK

[dense turtle]

yeah, i got 2 for reinforced plate tho

[white dawn]

Some folks don't even fully automate elevator parts; you can just set up a machine connected to a couple of storage bins and hand-feed what it needs. Since you only need a set number of most SE parts throughout the game, some folks don't find it worth it to automate those.

[cedar portal]

Lets you drill down, showing production of individual locations. Systems, planets, transportation hubs, ect. Easy to find WHERE a problem is.

[white dawn]

Personally I always automate 'em anyway; they're good for coupons if nothing else

[dense turtle]

how many levels are there i only did 1 rn, i cant check cuz i dont have elevator placed rn, i got to figure out where i want it

[white dawn]

Each Phase will require you to make 3-4 elevator parts, and there's 5 phases

Earlier elevator parts are used as part of the recipes for later elevator parts

[dense turtle]

aight

maybe i will make a separate section for elevator parts

to have more space

[white dawn]

But you do only need a specific quantity of each, to complete the deliveries, so you don't actually need constant production of them

Also, you can move your elevator around without losing progress, so don't sweat its placement too much

[fathom shuttle]

My factory just collapsed

[white dawn]

(Also your HUB! And MAM, etc.)

[fathom shuttle]

Not great, not bad

[dense turtle]

yeah ik i just want it placed nice

[fathom shuttle]

All of them btw because my aluminum factory was down for too long

But now back to fully operational status, will take a while until everything stabilizes

[lean ferry]

are u sure train lines can transfer power

[fathom shuttle]

They do

[lean ferry]

thats very helpful

[fathom shuttle]

Connect the station to a railway with power, and you can use it as a power hub

[stray loom]

They don't work for a hoverpack but if you put down a station you can draw power off of it like it was a normal powerline

[lean ferry]

yall

I found uranium and idk if I shoudl buidl train line through it

not a node its the mini nodes

[fathom shuttle]

I’m down to 3.7m/min sink points

[fathom shuttle]

It’s fine just don’t stay there for too long

[lean ferry]

im about to unlock suit anways

[dreamy scroll]

Just a little bit of radiation. As a treat.

[fathom shuttle]

Oh noo my pressure conversion cubes line is down

Now I need to wait like 20 hours for the manifold to saturate

[cedar portal]

Loop it temporarily?

[silk ocean]

Started a new game to get the onboarding achievement lol xD

Aaaand back to factory

[fathom shuttle]

Wdym?

[cedar portal]

Put ssommerloops in the pressure conversion machines until they catch up

[fathom shuttle]

Why do you have a giant battery pack in the middle there lol

[fathom shuttle]

Yea I might do that cause this will take wayyy to long

[cedar portal]

No batteries in that screenshot

[fathom shuttle]

The power storage system

Also I’m planning to do the same as you did for the nuclear power plant

[cedar portal]

I don't have any of those buildings in that area.

[fathom shuttle]

No ficsonium tho cause it’s not worth it

I’m targeting 375GW

[ashen spruce]

yippee

Xeno Basher and Blade Runner before completing POOP

[cedar portal]

I only have a few ficsonium reactors because I built the whole support system for it before realsing how awful it was. So I just run a few, just because

[boreal musk]

ficsonium is just unreasonably expensive, id rather have max uranium for 630gw and sink plut rod or use them as drone fuel

[stray loom]

It's interesting as a challenge but I'd only ever do like one production machine for it

[cedar portal]

I hate it. It's a net loss to use it, and it can't be used for anything else, no vehicles or sinking so it's kinda pointless.

[barren leaf]

how can i tell whether my coal generator will not run out of coal? per minute it shows how much i burn but what about how much im gaining?

[fathom shuttle]

From the miner

[barren leaf]

crap, what if its on the other side of the map

[silk ocean]

Do you sink all excess off every production line to ensure your factory keeps running at 100% to identify production bottlenecks, or just let storage fill up and parts of it go offline

[fathom shuttle]

Is it a pure or normal node?

[barren leaf]

pure

[fathom shuttle]

It’s better to put overflow sinks but it’s down to preferable

[fathom shuttle]

What’s the miner level? Is it overclocked?

[silk ocean]

Yea some cases overflow sinks are essential

e.g. where there are production biproducts

[barren leaf]

yeah to level 3, although i split it once to feed into its own coal generator to make it self sustaining

[fathom shuttle]

Mk1 miner overclocked to 250%? In that case it’s 300/min if your belt speed allows it

[silk ocean]

Managed to get a particle accelerator to pull 21 GW fully overclocked and slooped xD

[ashen spruce]

What recipe?

[barren leaf]

neat neat thank you

[silk ocean]

Nuclear Pasta I think it was

[ashen spruce]

nice

now make 59x the power by making a FPP

[silk ocean]

FPP? xD

(21 GW was the peak I saw, of course they go up and down, average is less)

[ashen spruce]

Fuel Power Plant

[ashen spruce]

Me know.
