satisfactory

[hybrid nymph]

Should I even bother burning plutonium fuel rods? Or should I just Awesome sink them? Because they're twice as efficient as uranium fuel rods

[reef basin]

Up to you

[hybrid nymph]

The plutonium produces 5 times less waste than the uranium

[frail sleet]

20x less if measured per GW with the "correct" reprocessing recipe

[hybrid nymph]

Oh really?

[frail sleet]

yeah

[hybrid nymph]

I suppose I could set up a factory that is just for uranium waste reprocessing

[frail sleet]

use plutonium fuel rod, not unit, and non-fissile uranium

[hybrid nymph]

Because honestly it seems like it's worth it to use plutonium fuel rods as a fuel source since they produce less waste and last twice as long

[frail sleet]

yeah they are pretty good

[hybrid nymph]

Honestly with how good they are it just seems like a waste to put in that much effort just to awesome sink them

[frail sleet]

if you want to burn them then plutonium fuel unit is not terrible

[scenic mirage]

what does purpose does automating HMF do? im making 6/min now is that even necessary

[hybrid nymph]

Honestly, it seems like what I should do once I get to The nuclear reactor is to just Make the nuclear reactor and have one of them running off of uranium fuel rods and the rest running off of plutonium fuel rods

[frail sleet]

They're required to make buildings, and you have to automate a bunch more later because they're used for core parts.

[hybrid nymph]

Is it worth overclocking a nuclear reactor?

[frail sleet]

The ratio differs per recipe, but you'll have something like 2 uranium reactors per plutonium reactor.

maybe OC, not a big deal

[scenic mirage]

oo ok dope

now i needa figure out turbo fuel, finding a whole new oil node cluster 😭

[hybrid nymph]

Try the oil node by the beach the northwestern part of a map

There are three oil nodes over there, two of them being pure

[scenic mirage]

ye thats the one im using now for fuel

[hybrid nymph]

If you overclock the oil extractor you can pull out 600 ^3 from the pure nodes

[unkempt blade]

216million is going to give me so much plastic

[crisp barn]

holy moly satisfactory plus mod 1.0 update released 4 days ago

I just found out

[unkempt blade]

does it add mk2 factory carts yet?

[crisp barn]

I dont think so?

[noble stratus]

Can the satisfactory modeler calcutate the underclock speed?

[unkempt blade]

that's disappointing, truly a missed opportunity

[crude spoke]

anyone know how train block signals work?#

[onyx siren]

I found a quartz solution thing in a hard drive, do I need to find another alt recipe to convert it back to a solid (silica and quartz crystals)?

Or is it automatically learned

[unkempt blade]

you should have gotten the recipe it pairs with on the same unlock

[onyx siren]

Thanks! I didn't want to get it if I needed to get lucky with a second recipe, but since both are in one unlock, everything is good

[shy mulch]

lots of people do, what is the issue you're having?

[crude spoke]

they wont work😭 when i think i have finaly got it working it just stays red permenantly

[shy mulch]

put some clear screenshots of your setup in #1038092680493801533

[crude spoke]

ok

[unkempt blade]

or... factory carts are like trains but cuter and without all those annoying signals to deal with

[crude spoke]

dont think i have carts yet

[unkempt blade]

in that case my train recommendation is starting a save with AGS on so you can just mess around with a train setup for a bit really easily

but factory carts are still cuter

[fluid sapphire]

stacking pumps. where do i need to place the next pump relative to the band? anywhere so its touching the band? or entirely below so the new pump is not touching the band`?

[austere lichen]

Just a bit below the snap point

[green fiber]

If you want some safety, rebuild the pipe after you snappes the pump

Pipes are longer when you snap stuff on them compared to when you rebuild them

[fluid sapphire]

havent had an issue with pumps in that regard, yet

i will leave just a bit of headroom

if it ends up not being enough suppose i can add another pump later

i usually dont consider the band at all and just eyeball it, but these pipes are a bit taller than what i normally have xd

[crude spoke]

`done]

[chrome parcel]

Is there a known issue with personnel elevators being buggy in multiplayer?

[silk ocean]

There is a known issue with me I can say that much - spaghetti xD

[topaz shale]

I think it might be a good idea to unlock the power augmentation building

[shy mulch]

they are great

[silk ocean]

Just remember it's 10% of your production, per augmenter. i.e. if your powergen goes offline xD

[shy mulch]

plus 500MW

[silk ocean]

Not much xD

[fluid sapphire]

always have power to spare, problem solved

[silk ocean]

Protect your powergen assets I would say, e.g. dedicated logistics, don't rely on drones and fuel and things from elsewhere xD

[fluid sapphire]

amen

[noble stratus]

i found another bug. this time with the lights and how to have them light up without power

[silk ocean]

I've noticed this but they are in like a low power mode xD

[austere lichen]

Yeah i have been seeing that one too, or connecting a few extra and it not taking the settings from the light controller it's connected to

[noble stratus]

no, i mean full on

like, bright as day, exactly like with power

[noble stratus]

#screenshots message

also works with the tower

[silk ocean]

Is this a coal powerplant inside a building xD

[noble stratus]

in the blueprint designer

im setting up my refineries

[silk ocean]

Ah yea xD

[undone crow]

Can having too large of a fluid buffer complex between my rocket fuel manufacturing plant and my fuel generators cause known issues?

[noble stratus]

found a sound bug with the photo mode.

too

[silk ocean]

Big build xD

[noble stratus]

im planning for turbo fuel right now. later on ill go to the lake with nitric acid stuff further away.

[silk ocean]

I know this feeling xD

Nitric Acid took me like 2 days xD

[noble stratus]

posted the wrong screenshot

[noble stratus]

just designing turbo plant is taking me days....

dont know where to put all the gens

[undone crow]

If you make rocket fuel instead, it's a gas and not a liquid, so you can put the generators much further away.

Without a lot of headaches.

[scenic mirage]

bro how tf do i get 900 sulfur/minute

[noble stratus]

for that id need to be further than tier 5, i just unlocked trains

choo choo mf

[undone crow]

Ahh yah then turbo fuel all the way!

[silk ocean]

Which site is that?

[undone crow]

Easy places are crater lake area and swamp

[noble stratus]

?

[silk ocean]

Website? xD

[noble stratus]

dude, i just found out theres sulfur closer than above rocky desert

[scenic mirage]

i guess io have to figure out trains now... wanted to get turbofuel up first

[noble stratus]

im building my facility for fuel under the rocky desert on these islands

[undone crow]

If turbo needs sulfur, an easy place to build plant is in crater lake, southeastern part of map

coal, sulfur, oil, water, all in one location

[noble stratus]

? i got turbo way before trains xD

[fluid sapphire]

jfc, powering 150 pumps was so tedious

[noble stratus]

unlocked at least.

just scavenged crash sites, without them i wouldnt even have trains

[scenic mirage]

i have it unlocked but i just never cared to figure it out, i just finished phase 3 earlier so gotta get it all figured out

[noble stratus]

ahhh. it isnt a website

its a programm on steam for free

Satisfactory-Modeler

@silk ocean

[silk ocean]

Ah, thaks xD

[azure ermine]

is there a way to see your coordinates in Satisfactory? Not sure why it's not just part of the interface

[noble stratus]

my plant will generate 33.333,33 MW

[azure ermine]

ok I found the showdebug but it says my z is -4425. What does that mean in terms of meters below sea level....supposedly the death depth is -240 meters or something

[reef basin]

Isn't Y the height coordinate?

[scenic mirage]

#screenshots message
would yall run a train for this

the 3 miners

[azure ermine]

my Y is 333577.99

[reef basin]

Ah, then it's in cm, not m

[reef basin]

I'd build near miners instead 😛

[azure ermine]

ah, wow centimeters when the smallest thing is 1 meter thick foundation 🙂

[scenic mirage]

... im a dumbass lol

[reef basin]

Well the engine runs on cm...

[azure ermine]

thanks

ok X is NS, Y is EW, based on the number that isn't changing when running against a fence

no, the reverse

bah

[willow glen]

0,0 is the center of the map, not the corner

[azure ermine]

one might think the coords would be easier to get to than command line debug in a game about factory planning

but I'm just venting

maybe there's a mod for that

[gusty bronze]

but is there a mod to create catepults to shoot cargo from one side of the map to the other?

[reef basin]

It's called trains/trucks/drones 🙂

[gusty bronze]

yeah but they would be nowhere as cool as seeing stuff fly all over the map without vehicles

especially radioactive stuff

best you can currently do is get a herd of doggos and put two jump pads pointing at each other

[unkempt blade]

and most of all, factory carts!

[gusty bronze]

disco factory carts

[latent meadow]

i feel like i dont use lifts nearly as much as i should

i found in this last playthough i made huge beatiful layouts just with the lifts themself

[unkempt blade]

they're kind of pointless when you can just have factory carts drive up ramps instead

[latent meadow]

they are if you want to have room more on the floor to move around

tbh i not use the factorey carts

i feel like trains as good as they are just such a huge footprint to do

[minor rock]

what ??? factory carts are op though

[latent meadow]

i been trying to do more trucks and tractors

i beleve you i just not really exprenmented witht hem

i will for sure now though lol

[minor rock]

i am being facetious tbh

[gusty bronze]

tbh no map save I have, have I ever used trucks and tractors, just skipped directly to rail

[minor rock]

wait u dont just use conveyorbelts everywhere ? xD

[latent meadow]

when this game was back in beta

i did trains but tbh it felt like you need so much room for it

[gusty bronze]

well yes, until rail XD

[visual cosmos]

same lol

[gusty bronze]

long term I've always felt it best to use train hubs and then use platforms for getting stuff to the hubs

[unkempt blade]

I'm a train enjoyer too but variety with logistics stuff makes the world feel a lot more alive

[latent meadow]

i do agree nek i think in the long run i just gonna have to ponky up and just put a train in

and figure it out but i not sure how i gonna do that with my current setup lol

[gusty bronze]

I get a step up since I work for a train company 😄 choo choo

[latent meadow]

lol i loe the achivment

[solemn glacier]

@glad drum
#screenshots message
try using memory saver. chrome has it and other browsers might have an equivalent

[latent meadow]

i love the choo choo achivment

choo choo mf

makes me still chuckle

[gusty bronze]

haven't played in almost a year, thinking about starting up a new map, in a cold spell between game releases

[unkempt blade]

⚠️ Direct all your train signal questions to this person! They just volunteered!

[latent meadow]

can we have flying trains lol

[gusty bronze]

only two things you need to follow

1. create block signals the length of your longest train
2. use pass signals where train lines can intersect
3. profit!

[unkempt blade]

yes, just don't have any part of your track touch the ground/a structure touching the ground

[latent meadow]

i was terriable at trains in factorio

[sterile blade]

Good thing this isn't that :P

[gusty bronze]

we don't need flying trains, we need mk2 and mk3 trains 😄 that go 300m/s and 600m/s

[latent meadow]

lol

[gusty bronze]

and mk3 pipes, please for the love of god, mk3 pipes

[smoky forge]

peak

[latent meadow]

so we can get killed by a train like in factorio

lol instant death

[gusty bronze]

oh neat lol, my screen shots are in the screenshot channel

#screenshots message

here is the most important screenshot, map expansion or new maps when?
#screenshots message

will pay money for dlc of maps

[latent meadow]

i would love for it to show the death messages ada gives you in the inbox 🙁

[gusty bronze]

there is a game savage planet, that makes fun of you for dying and lets you know you are a clone

[latent meadow]

lol

i will say ada does a great job at that

not sure who wrost at this point gladdos form portal or ada

lol

[reef basin]

new maps won't be a thing, expansion of current map probably not either

[brisk stream]

was satisfactiroy ever on mac i feel like im going insane

[gusty bronze]

they need to take my money and give new maps

[brisk stream]

i want to play in study hall

[sterile blade]

There's probably a (few) suggestion on the QA site specifically about non-free map DLCs 😆
It's surprising how much stuff people can think up, honestly

[gusty bronze]

the priority merger thing surprised the hell out of me that it was ever added, like there is zero reason for this unless you suck at math

[sterile blade]

Cries in lack of easy improvements to Programmable Splitters despite devs saying they would "look into it"

[unkempt blade]

math is nerd stuff! I'm vibe automating instead!

[gusty bronze]

you will learn math and you will like it!

[sterile blade]

I think it had a lot of Upvotes on the site 🤷‍♂️

[unkempt blade]

that's what my academic advisor said too but she didn't understand C is for Degree

[visual cosmos]

There's someone on yt I think that mentioned it being useful for factories that have issues if one item isn't being cleared (nuclear waste)
Why you would combine 2 different items to the merger is a good question, but it was suggested and it's neat

[gusty bronze]

that person merging two different items needs their map deleted, I have strong feelings about that

[visual cosmos]

Probably wasn't too hard to implement too

[gusty bronze]

when you are outputting 2k-8k items/min why on earth would you clog your lines by combinging them with other stuff

[unkempt blade]

It makes more sense in other factory games with finite resources. I also don't see the point of it in satis

[visual cosmos]

[gusty bronze]

astrocolony so far is the only one I combine stuff in, but thats because there are a limited number of lines you can create, once they are in my base I split them back up again

[sterile blade]

The thing I don't quite appreciate about it is that it encourages some sort of "laziness" (for lack of better words) in logistical problem-solving. As in: without it one is forced to either figure out a solution by deepening their knowledge of beltwork (noticing how splitters-mergers act round-robin and leveraging that to obtain priority) or change approach so they don't need priority; with it, the solution is already offered

[fluid sapphire]

@shy mulch finally got to turn it on
#screenshots message

[unkempt blade]

plus the jank priority merger already existed and it's called the truck stop

[visual cosmos]

I personally dont see myself using it with how I play this game, but clearly some people thought otherwise else it wouldn't get added

[sterile blade]

Peak tech!

[gusty bronze]

I remember the arguement for it going on for 2 years and literally every reason given was because people don';t know how to math

[reef basin]

they said they won't do new maps

[gusty bronze]

fine, then Satisfactory 2.0

[unkempt blade]

not even for... checks wallet $8?

[sterile blade]

Well, let's hear them say that again after seeing how much @gusty bronze has to offer! 💰

[gusty bronze]

https://tenor.com/view/three-fitty-gif-1684909778489327763

[scenic mirage]

i got an extra 75 cents on top of that and a bottle of expired mayonnaise

[gusty bronze]

at least if Jace was around he'd lie to me and say we might get a new map

[azure ermine]

"It is not measured whether the z-axis border is at a uniform height." This seems true in the wiki, it says Z -244 is the bottom void border and I can't go below about -241 where I am

is there added atmospheric fog down here? I can't see the deck above

[pliant prawn]

Finally! Peak Efficiency! MK6 letsgoooo

[nimble minnow]

#screenshots message
Is this as dark as possible for concrete?

[abstract heron]

waiting for the #announcements

[gusty bronze]

you know, there's a fun idea, build entire factory only in the void center of the map

[unkempt blade]

perfect timing, this is where I step in and gesture at my username

[spare pivot]

So.
Whats the announcement

[white dawn]

Does anyone have change for a button?

[azure ermine]

well I wanted to see how far down it was and I am there

[grand ravine]

how "deep" can you build in this game ? like if I wanted to start building in the hole as deep as possible ? (absolutely no pun intended)

[gusty bronze]

lets find out :D, for science!

[sterile blade]

Satisfactory VR, console release and official mod support.
Also CoffeeStain-hosted free dedicated servers for everyone
||Joke disclaimer||

[abstract heron]

idk if i should ask mikael for a hint and its also gamescom aswell

[steady cedar]

Its pretty deep
You can build far below the map

[heavy pine]

And we all get free puppies and kittens to represent all the puppies and kittens that we saved

[gusty bronze]

and just to be fair, gonna start a new map from scratch

[unkempt blade]

we did a nuclear setup down there in our U8 save, you can go fairly deep

[visual cosmos]

how should I make my train supports look like

[azure ermine]

presumably at the lowest safe building level (about Z= -24100) there would be nothing in the way all the way to the world boundary.

that would be a lot of foundations

[grand ravine]

brooo that's amazing for nuclear yeah

[azure ermine]

what's the advantage of deep nuclear, is the whole setup radioactive? (I haven't gotten to that part of the game yet)

[gusty bronze]

uhhh why is almost the entire map no clip?

[unkempt blade]

I just thought it was cool to do it way down in the pit. I'm not actually sure if the nuclear area is a circle or a cylinder or what exactly 😆

we did have to bring water in from outside of the pit though

[modest nest]

That must've looked sick

[azure ermine]

well you wouldn't have to add pumps to get fluid to go down

[unkempt blade]

yeah nuclear just wants a LOT of water so it was a pretty chonky set of pipes

[azure ermine]

once you're down here there is literally nothing except death about 2 feet below the foundation I'm standing on

[sterile blade]

What do you mean?

[azure ermine]

I turned on flight mode and the underside of the land is a little...weird

[gusty bronze]

only the "ground" is solid, all objects such as rock, trees, etc I noclip through

granted I haven't played in a year but pretty sure the game isn't supposed to do that

[azure ermine]

buggy save?

[mortal ginkgo]

might wanna verify the game files or save file might be borked

[sterile blade]

Got any mods on?
Or perhaps did you have any that affected (possibly permanently) clipping?

[grand ravine]

that was going to be my question : at some height level you insta die right ?

[dense violet]

you just take a lot of damage

and will keep taking dmg until you die

[shy mulch]

Same as when you reach max height or one of the game world boundaries

[unkempt blade]

I haven't used AGS much but when I had flight mods pre1.0 it seemed like there were lots of ways to clip through terrain with that too

[azure ermine]

but right above it, if you build a floor it's safe

[shy mulch]

I've built right out to the game boundary off the east coast

[azure ermine]

up at the level of the Grassy Start I built foundation all the way out to the edge and the entire southern edge

maybe I will use it all for something

[gusty bronze]

zero mods, vanilla everything, just started a new save

[sterile blade]

That is weird...
Try verifying game files?

[azure ermine]

well at least with a new save if it's broken you won't lose a lot

[sterile blade]

I mean, some foliage and rocks that look like they could have collisions actually don't have them, but...

[worthy hatch]

Suggestion: 24 hour channel for speculation and talk about the announcement at gamescom today

[modest nest]

What was the announcement

[worthy hatch]

It will be in a few hours

[obsidian zodiac]

theres an announcement?

[worthy hatch]

#announcements

Look at the video

[worthy hatch]

You posted the damm thing

[sterile blade]

Yes, they said that they were gonna add Satisfactory VR, console release and official mod support.
Also CoffeeStain-hosted free dedicated servers for everyone
||Joke disclaimer||

[obsidian zodiac]

yeah mikael's watching gamescom

we should all watch its good for the industry

[worthy hatch]

Yes especially at 11:00 est

[modest nest]

But I'm about to board a plane

[obsidian zodiac]

11:09 actually but 11:00 is cool too

[modest nest]

I would otherwise though

[dense violet]

prob just console release

[obsidian zodiac]

have a nice flight!

[modest nest]

Thank you!

[worthy hatch]

Got the exact second we should be there?

[obsidian zodiac]

i do but i dont wanna stress yall out

[worthy hatch]

11:09:xx

Oh wait

Oh poop

Update on 11:09:25

Speculation

[solemn glacier]

ill guess 11:09:05

[modest nest]

Probably :00

[visual cosmos]

Isn't it in 1h

[worthy hatch]

No like that could be the date of release

Also

[mortal ginkgo]

I am sure they will announce that they finally fixed vehicle waypoints 🙂‍↕️

[modest nest]

11:09:00

[worthy hatch]

Controller issues with some game ui still present

[obsidian zodiac]

i can definitively say

[gusty bronze]

reloading the game in dx12 works, the bug is in vulkan :/

[obsidian zodiac]

that at 11:09AM EST

[modest nest]

The suspense is real

[obsidian zodiac]

it will also be 5:09PM CEST.

[lofty hazel]

how to create server in satisfactory?

[worthy hatch]

Once I get a job im gonna give 25% of my money earned to coffee stain for further development of satisfactory

[obsidian zodiac]

please dont do that

[modest nest]

That's pretty satisfactory

[worthy hatch]

The server creates you

[lofty hazel]

ok?

[gusty bronze]

but we need to give money to get new maps

[worthy hatch]

Satisfactory is the only meaning of life

[solemn glacier]

yes

[grand ravine]

better : procedurally generated ,maps

[solemn glacier]

the answer is 42 and the question is how many hundreds of hours you will play satisfactory

[mortal ginkgo]

Its not exactly better.

[obsidian zodiac]

contrary to popular belief there is no exchange rate for money to new maps

[modest nest]

I bought a hummus wrap at the airport and it had literally zero hummus in it :(

[worthy hatch]

Yet….

[abstract heron]

What’s the #announcements I am excited also hi

[modest nest]

What about a system for community made maps?

[worthy hatch]

Watch it

[solemn glacier]

mods

[gusty bronze]

$100,000/map

[obsidian zodiac]

there arent currently plans to do any procedural maps. the current map was meticulously designed over years and years, definitely a quality bar to follow

[modest nest]

Yes but like official supported

[worthy hatch]

Would gladly spend my life savings

[worthy hatch]

Maybe extend the map underground?

[abstract heron]

Just asking when is the team and u offical back after summer vacation and streaming again?

[solemn glacier]

a moon map could be cool, but it would prob take a while

[obsidian zodiac]

the announcement is that mikael is watching gamescom at 5:09PMCEST (hi)

[obsidian zodiac]

very groundhog-coded of you to suggest!

[obsidian zodiac]

mikael and i are working on some videos right now, still some scattered folks on vacation. streams TBD!

[worthy hatch]

I want to create factories in a lava biome and use lava for power

Have you found the alt recipes of heavy oil resedue and diluted fuel? That should net you an easy 20gw from a single pure node.

Anyone have a rough guesstimate on an ideal ratio for plastic and rubber production? 2:1?

[unkempt blade]

if I get a hobby like that I won't be able to afford coffee and avocado toast anymore 🙁

[scenic mirage]

ye i got both, the sulfur is the issue. i have a pure node and a normal node and im going for 900 turbofuel/min

should be 30k mw

[gusty bronze]

In all honesty though, if there are zero plans for dlc maps, map expansions or satisfactory 2 then we just need the ability to make our own maps

[clever sandal]

maybe just have 2 hammers and decleare war between them

[topaz shale]

I see. How much power do you need?

I'm picturing factory carts that can actually drive on non-foundation surfaces and I'm there for it

[dense violet]

if you google 'load balancer, reddit, satisfactory' you'll find a reddit post with a bunch of 1:X designs

[gusty bronze]

Ig, hand crafting 3k bars is a pain lol but challange is a challange

[pallid tide]

Lol not literally. How do you balance rubber vs plastic production optimally

[stone python]

press space, walk away for lunch, proffit

[pallid tide]

2:1?

[dense violet]

make however much as you need

[unkempt blade]

depends what recipes you're using that consume them mostly

[pallid tide]

I don't knowwwwwww

[dense violet]

there is no optimal ratio

[dense violet]

what item do you need plastic for?

[pallid tide]

circuit boards

[dense violet]

ok plan how many CBs you want to make per min

and plan your plastic around that

[unkempt blade]

my first big oil-stuff factory I normally do half and half on plastic and rubber but I basically always need more plastic first

[gusty bronze]

Literally training my replacements while I press spacebar

Company outsourcing to India

[modest nest]

Then you can't balance it optimally

[pallid tide]

I guess it just seems like plastic is used in more things but I'll get into the numbers 🙁

[unkempt blade]

with default recipes I definitely think that's true

computer stuff uses lots of plastic

[dense violet]

depends on what recipes you're using and your goals
if you're just going up the tiers, with no alts? you'll use more plastic early on most likely

[modest nest]

But there's some nice alt recipes that use rubber

[violet wave]

i cannot comprehend playing this game without getting into the numbers

just building everything blind might make me have a stroke

[dense violet]

I mean, for just going up the tiers? I smash things together and don't care about efficiency

[violet wave]

not me 🙂

[dense violet]

its a very fast method

[grand ravine]

sorry but i'm on team @violet wave for this, i need to plan and calculate everything in advance

[unkempt blade]

yeah I'll just find some clump of nodes I like and the output is whatever the max my current miners/conveyors can handle

[gusty bronze]

Well crap, doing void only is going to make the initial coal setup kinda difficult

[latent meadow]

i kind of regret putting my foundation in water

[dense violet]

let everything over flow 🙂

make pretty factories when things are unlocke

[pallid tide]

I think I'm just planning end to start. Running stuff for a fuel power plant? No problem. But like coming up with some arbitrary value like "ok so for no reason at all I want to make 60 cooling systems a minute so that means x rubber a minute and then that means..."

Does that make any sense? I think I just try to maximize resources sequentially and then when I have my rubber production THEN its like "ok so this much a minute will give me x cooling systems, cool"

[latent meadow]

now when i remove something and it cant go into my invetory it end up somehwer on the beach seem random at times

[unkempt blade]

I still want to always rush at least to the hoverpack and mk5 belts and then worry about what I'm building a little more

[pallid tide]

On the note of this, what later game alts or alts that make late game easier do you recommend? Planning on nitro rocket fuel, gonna use both recycled rubber/plastic recipes, pure ingots, etc.

[modest nest]

The only thing I rush is coal power

The it all slows wayy down

[dense violet]

entirely up to you

there are alts that you could use all the quartz on the map if you like and are fine
or you can cut out all but the barrest sliver of crystal

[dense violet]

it's truly a sandbox after you've unlocked everything. Create your own goals and how you want to approach them

[hard ivy]

that includes like 70+% of alts lol

[dense violet]

hell, you could cut out steel and coal from your world if you wanted to 😛

[hard ivy]

use some calc to find out which ones you want to use, then get them

[unkempt blade]

wet concrete is the best recipe tied with all other recipes

[prisma forge]

I work as IT support and I received support requests daily, and they have a certain amount of time to be solved.
I received a report about my efficiency in solving those requests in the set time.
The efficiency is at 91.33%. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AAAAAH

[unkempt blade]

if they figured out why the pipes are sloshing so much instead of giving you a consistent amount you could probably get up t o 100%

[willow glen]

well that’s what happens when you try to cram 656 m3/min of work down a mk2 pipe

[prisma forge]

They haven't even built a water tower smh
Even worse, they're still using trucks to transport material instead of trains. So cringe.

[wicked narwhal]

hey guys just outta curiosity has CSS given us an idea or hint on whether they will be adding more content to the game?

[glad drum]

I hope they add "Spaghetti" mode to conveyors and pipes. You select a start point and an end point and it will take a wildly ridiculous path, including loops and unnecessary changes in height.

[dense violet]

why is a water tower even a thing there ?

[quiet gust]

Straight mode basically

[prisma forge]

Let's Game It Out would be happy

[willow glen]

actually curve mode can make some horrendous spaghetti if you never line up the endpoints properly

[grand ravine]

Shots. Fired.

[prisma forge]

That's the problem: it isn't. Thus, slushing pipes and causing backflow.

[dense violet]

water towers don't help with that

[reef dock]

how much smart plating should I produce in the early game, I made it for 10/minute but that uses 9 out of 16 furnaces that I have

[glad drum]

#screenshots message
oh trust me, I'm well aware of the splendor of curve mode >:) Coal power is almost up

[hard ivy]

0/min sustained tbh. just handfeed a single assembler making it. and only put in enough to complete your current phase

[willow glen]

5.4/min completes phases 1 and 2 quicker than you can unlock all milestones.
Phase 1 I hand feed, phase 2 I automate, usually just 1 assembler worth unless I’m speedrunning

[quiet gust]

Water tower just makes some pipework in terms of pumps easier

[reef dock]

when do I need more after phase 2?

[willow glen]

The main issue with completing phase 2 quickly is actually the versatile framework. It needs a LOT more steel

[willow glen]

You’ll also have better tools, specifically better power

[dense violet]

if you keep it running in the background and get a storage of them probably never

you'll have enough saved up for all the other parts

[reef dock]

thats not my question xD

[dense violet]

well the previous space parts are used to make the next space parts

[willow glen]

Yes you’ll need all project parts you’ve previously built. But that doesn’t mean you should build for phase 5 in phase 1.

[dense violet]

so whenever you want to make the next space parts

[glad drum]

you'll need 2/min to make 1 modular engine per minute for later phase... then 2.5 engines/min to make 1 thermal propulsion rocket... so I guess 5 plates/min minimum?

[dense violet]

you could always clock it lower

[hard ivy]

not really. you can beat the game without automating any space elevator parts

in fact, with sloops, it's probably easier if you don't automate them

[scenic mirage]

is the pure aluminum ingot alt good? tryna make sense of aluminum

[hard ivy]

makes alu easier, but has slightly lower yield

[willow glen]

When paired with Sloppy Alumina is eliminates silica from the chain entirely, freeing up your quartz to be better used elsewhere.

[tired ginkgo]

Who else is watching the ign stream, waiting for the announcement?

[violet wave]

🙋‍♂️

[obsidian zodiac]

idk why ign has two of the exact same streams playing

[hard ivy]

i've got a timer set lol. will join in like 5 mins

[obsidian zodiac]

OH

[violet wave]

a trailer is playing legit rn

[steady dome]

It's happeniiiing

[tired ginkgo]

there it is

[hard ivy]

few minutes early?

[scenic mirage]

YOO?

[tired ginkgo]

yep

[violet wave]

I guess so

[ashen hatch]

i really hope thats not it

[scenic mirage]

hub decor 👀

[ashen hatch]

not all of it

[tired ginkgo]

well, i guess that's it

[violet wave]

i'm gonna be sad if it's just console release date, but what can you do

[willow glen]

oh, that’s it? huh, well cool to have a date now

[lean turtle]

yea

[tired ginkgo]

will wait till 05:09

[sinful yew]

Was that it? I was hoping for like a 1.2 announcement

[ashen hatch]

i legit couldnt care less about console release date

[scenic mirage]

yall are too damn impatient damn 💀

[willow glen]

was hoping for 1.2 news but they’ve only hinted at console news anyway

[ashen hatch]

lets wait till 09

[violet wave]

indeed

[solemn glacier]

fr fr

[hard ivy]

missed a chance to release console on the joke 1.1 release date tbh. I was hoping for 10.06

[wary perch]

With customizable coffee cup liquids

[waxen parcel]

NOVEMBER

[scenic mirage]

looks like hub decor coming tho

[acoustic heart]

Well, time to talk my console friends into getting satisfactory

[ashen hatch]

Bro what are these background sounds

[obsidian zodiac]

that was it, IGN punked us with the time. Nov 4 folks! even if you dont care about the console release, a lot of people who only have ps5s and xboxs will be happy to hear it 😄

[waxen parcel]

https://tenor.com/view/elmo-burning-hell-gif-4808980

[strong fiber]

November 4

[violet wave]

welp lol

[acoustic heart]

Can we put flat screens in the hub now?

[strong fiber]

Bro i gotta wait for that long

[lean turtle]

nov 4?

[scenic mirage]

am i right tho is hub decoration coming

[ashen hatch]

Nah been hyped all day and its console release date

i mean happy for all console guys

[finite forge]

more like 17:00:09 instead of 17:09 😛

[strong fiber]

bro im marking November 4 on my calendar

[visual aspen]

i dont think they would make furniture models without intention to add them..

[tired ginkgo]

yeah, building a fishtank!!

oh, star sand island

[lean turtle]

maybe they'll post a video on Friday with more info🤷‍♂️

[dusty pasture]

who's playing factory games on a console??

[tired ginkgo]

would it work well?

[ashen hatch]

Satisfactory should be doable

[robust brook]

People who only have console

[ashen hatch]

Not sure if console players deserve the game tho

[mortal ginkgo]

what kind of... logic is that?

[abstract heron]

<@&370483737957236737> can we have the trailer from gamescom in #announcements

[waxen parcel]

We aren't opposing factions in some gamer war. More Satisfactory players = good

[orchid herald]

i hope there is a little more that will be announced than just console release for nov 4 otherwise is kinda disappointing hehe

[robust brook]

Real

[ashen hatch]

Well they are not ficsit qualified

[sinful yew]

1709 now

[ashen hatch]

But if we were, pc would win

[sick agate]

ok ig the announcement came early

[glad drum]

wait its over??

[tired ginkgo]

Would the server be cross platform as well?

[violet wave]

i'm gonna close discord and pretend nothing was announced to smooth over my (personal) dissapointment

[zinc kelp]

Will the trailer be reposted soon?

[mortal ginkgo]

Well.. yeah. I wish we had some extra additions...

I mean, game lacks half foundation ramps.. That would be HUGE.

[unkempt blade]

I agree, we need to stay focused on the real threat and band together with our fellow video gamers and crush all the collectible card gamers

[tired ginkgo]

the trailer was kinda fun, to watch, true

[solemn glacier]

someone already pinged jason and mikael

[mortal ginkgo]

no new carts for you bro

[lean turtle]

yea

[solemn glacier]

the tv thing was cool

[spare pivot]

So just console release?

[unkempt blade]

yeah but think of how much more fun factory cart skateparks will be with an xbox controller

[zinc kelp]

Apparently furniture?

[mortal ginkgo]

I wouldn't bet on this too much brotherman.

[obsidian zodiac]

the announcement was console release date folks 🙂 sorry about the time mixup, IGN sent it off early. we have more news to share soon but thats it for today!

[mortal ginkgo]

Nah, those stuff surely looks for the sake of trailer.

IGN being IGN per usual. Quality at its best.

[solemn glacier]

hey jason, i was wondering, for the tv did you just make it green then key it, or do smt else

[long void]

Will it be more news about console, or other things? 👀

[sick agate]

classic ign

[abstract heron]

Will u add the trailer in #announcements so people can watch it again and don't have to look for it?

[obsidian zodiac]

the trailer is built in unreal so the TV is emitting the actual footage!

[solemn glacier]

thats cool

[stoic shell]

What will the price be on console? Same as PC?

[stone python]

it is not efficient to think about the cost. Comply and bye

[pliant prawn]

welp Imma get a drink at the bar and let the game run. gotta let mk6 materials accumulate lol

[unkempt blade]

Playing satis from inside the hub while playing satis would be a great feature for 1.2. I need a little more meta in my gaming

if it sets my computer on fire that's something I'll just have to live with

[tacit belfry]

yo lads, I'm having a problem with my pipes

[hard ivy]

don't we all?

[stone python]

might want to see a urologist

[tacit belfry]

specifically, one oil extractor

[tired ginkgo]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6xjTRYLaC0&ab_channel=IGN

console trailer

[tacit belfry]

I have 300m^3 + 2x150m^3 feeding 4 refineries each demaning 150m^3

should be a 0 sum, yet the 300 one is accumulating

and making one of the refiniries lose the 100% eff

[unkempt blade]

ok now we need to scour it for hidden messages and start some conspiracy theories about new pc features

[tacit belfry]

I have 15 refineries, none of them have this problem except for this one of the 15, all also have 0 sums and work flawlessly

[unkempt blade]

did you see how the pioneer picked up the computer and put it back down? that was clearly hinting at the addition of golf in 1.2

[mortal ginkgo]

Your mixing of Hopium and Copium is so potent that you could provide power in a Nuclear Reactor

[solemn glacier]

there is a couch

[unkempt blade]

the key to life is to be relentlessly optimistic about stuff you imagined your dog told you about in a dream last night

[reef dock]

is there any other use for the power slugs than power shards (and also the base research)?

[mortal ginkgo]

My arguements are defeated and I rest my case. You are 100% correct. Yes. You won.

[mortal ginkgo]

decoration if you really want to, otherwise no

[unkempt blade]

my dog said that would happen so I was expecting as much

[alpine pond]

That trailer was quite underwhelming, especially because half of it was just reused trailer footage.
I was atleast expecting like teaser for the next update (1.2?), and November is still quite far out, and with the 1.0 anniversary next month i really was expecting a bit more.

[mortal ginkgo]

I agree, some teaser would be nice too but alas.

[unkempt blade]

On the plus side, more people playing the game means more people to help us bully them to release DLC

[mortal ginkgo]

The problem is now they will have to spend time fixing issues console-based.

[alpine pond]

Even like a 1.1.5 would have been cool together with maybe the console release.
With some extra decoration stuff, like planters, traffic cones, decoration crates, office tables and chairs, just small stuff like that.

[mortal ginkgo]

O'well, I am not completely disappointed, more of expected this. They said game is coming to console anyway so...

[ruby estuary]

Console! 🥳

[green fiber]

1.1.5: console update

[lean turtle]

they did say a new video's coming out next week, so maybe... hopefully

[alpine pond]

The fact that half the trailer was reused trailer footage I am not expecting them to suddenly give any new fun stuff other than the console stuff.

[tacit belfry]

already did a ticket there lad but cheers

[unkempt blade]

How they handled EA and the last couple releases earned a lot of trust so I'm happy to let them cook. Development takes time

[lean turtle]

idk Fishlabs, but I think they might be handling the console ports?

[willow glen]

ya I took too long typing that out, sorry to bug ya with steps ya already did

[tacit belfry]

its alright lad, you could have written something I wouldn't have known

[cunning scaffold]

satisfactory 2 when frfr

[unkempt blade]

the real satis2 is the friends we made along the way

[feral geyser]

Make a conveyor carousel for them

[scenic mirage]

does compacted coal not have an alt recipe?

[hard ivy]

more like it doesn't have a normal recipe

[lost wagon]

The whole announcement was just about the console version?

[hard ivy]

its main recipe is an alt, and other than that it's only a byproduct

[scenic mirage]

byproduct of what

[willow glen]

Yup, the news is the date (nov 4th)

[hard ivy]

rocket and ionized fuel production

[scenic mirage]

ah dont have that yet 😭

[lost wagon]

Meh

[hard ivy]

it's normally made from coal and sulfur

[unkempt blade]

if you put it just below the top of your foundations it looks like they're just zipping around your factory which makes me happy

[tight pawn]

Of course PC playing discord users aren’t jazzed about playing on consoles they don’t own with joysticks they dread. It’s about opening new markets for the game and good for them on that

[honest fern]

Guys, if I have a drone port, and Fuel is going into it, can the drone refule from an output station?

Can the Drone refule from a outloading Drone Port?*

I ran a test, I suppose it can... I'm not sure tho

[woeful gale]

hey im wonder what the use of battery after 1.0 beside that one supercomputer recipe?

[hard ivy]

mediocre drone fuel

[woeful gale]

bruh they really kill battery in 1.0

[hard ivy]

it's not even used in MFGs anymore

[woeful gale]

the only reason battery is use is for drone which dont even need so its just a waste of sulfur

[hard ivy]

the SC recipe with batts is pretty decent

but that's the only thing I'd use batts for

[woeful gale]

the alt one?

[hard ivy]

super-state computer

[scenic mirage]

#screenshots message
why does my power keep going down? i didnt change anything but now it just wont stay on?

[abstract heron]

I want to see the trailer in #announcements

[abstract heron]

<@&370483737957236737>

[worthy hatch]

lol

That would be too easy

[unkempt blade]

the battery recipes are a pretty fun build, do it for the love of the game 😄

[vale quail]

https://tenor.com/view/i-cant-say-i-didnt-see-this-coming-moira-rose-moira-catherine-ohara-schitts-creek-gif-20787518

Told ya it was the console release date

[unkempt blade]

and I told you it was golf! we're both smart!

[void gorge]

Tomorrow

[abstract heron]

Okay

Can u use mouse and keyboard on console

[void gorge]

Not at launch but it's on the list for down the line

[abstract heron]

Okay

And I love satisfactory thank you for the great game

It keeps
Me sane and happy

[void gorge]

Man

I really appreciate that

Personally, as someone who believes intensely in comfort zones and keeping yourself grounded

[unkempt blade]

I'm still looking for easter eggs in the trailer and I'm pretty sure the stuff on the conveyor spells "mk2 factory carts" in morse code

[visual aspen]

there was a sign saying "Sequence Group" and i was thinking logic stuff when i read that

[abstract heron]

I am still working on 1.0 world

[storm talon]

Does anyone know where to find the mass upgrade mod for belts in satisfactory?

[cobalt lodge]

I just finished the game, it was soo epic!

[storm talon]

I'm having trouble finding it.

[topaz shale]

Is it even worth using regular fuel for drones or just use turbo/rocket fuel for them?

[cobalt lodge]

I use batteries xD

[woeful gale]

use what ever u have in hand

[unkempt blade]

depends on your route, if you're not already using existing throughput no real reason for higher end fuels

[glad drum]

Regular fuel probably won't be enough (dependent on distance)

[rigid mist]

how do you do the spinny building thing again i remember seeing it in a kibz video years back

[glad drum]

It can only hold 100 fuel and if you're using it for long distance (which is usually what you wanna do) it won't have enough fuel for the round trip. Though, you COULD use another drone to transport fuel to the destination from your main base as well... but yeah, really dependent on what you're gonna be doing

[abstract heron]

Is console 1.2 or will there be still 1.2

And if there is epic and steam AND CONSOLE if there is a major patch can u keep them all updated

[void gorge]

Consoles are 1.1

We'll clearly tell you what Satis' next step is next Friday

The 29th

[abstract heron]

And after a tough day Ik my factory is siting and waiting

After my pc old one fry or something

Now I have my beast of a new one

[void gorge]

(don't expect many details!)

But definitely a label

[abstract heron]

Can u make a generally asked tips for the video next week etc etc

And tell me that new hub is coming into game that was sick

[hard ivy]

hopefully the label is not gonna be "abandonware" 🙃

[void gorge]

||Don't worry we're not Silksong||

Can't believe that joke went extinct an hour ago holy

Still shaking

[abstract heron]

I was hoping for big content in 1.2 or 1.3

[glad drum]

"Satisfactory 1.2: The Spaghetti Update"
Yesss

[abstract heron]

Also when gameplay streams when

I miss truly missed the dev streams

[void gorge]

Both streams start back up in October

Also touching on that/why next Friday

[abstract heron]

In OCTOBER

[void gorge]

Yes

[abstract heron]

Why October

Is css getting a makeover

[hard ivy]

.

[void gorge]

Cuz I am not in the office between Sep 9 - Oct 2

[abstract heron]

Before u go on to Japan

[mortal ginkgo]

"We'll clearly tell you what Satis' next step is next Friday
The 29th"

You need to chill a bit.

[abstract heron]

I just want more ficmas and Ik sorry

[mortal ginkgo]

I am sure you can survive one more month. Make a better factory till then 😛

[void gorge]

Better yet, play Silksong

Holy

[mortal ginkgo]

I personally can't as I am still waiting for HL3.

If Silksong can happen, so does HL3 yes.

[lusty crown]

#screenshots help, does anyone know how to fix this? reloading save and restarting the game doesn't work

[void gorge]

Real

[hard ivy]

research spitter protein. don't ask me why you need spitter protein specifically, but you do

[lusty crown]

i did that

did nothing

[hard ivy]

the 4th one is spitter protein

[lusty crown]

oh right that thing

sadly they are miles away from my start area also what about nutritients?

they bugged too

[hard ivy]

you need specifically that one for some reason. the other 3 researches don't do anything

[lusty crown]

damn

When did they break that qwq

[hard ivy]

1.0 I think?

pretty sure any of the 4 worked before that

[lusty crown]

That worked, thank you

I haven't noticed that bug before

[leaden turret]

<@&370483737957236737> now that the PS5 release date has been announced, PS6 release date, when? 😛

satisfactory remastered: lizard doggo now has subsurface scattering on the butthole/cloaca

[abstract heron]

ALREADY

For ps6 coming out

[void gorge]

If I break that NDA I'm pretty sure I'd be blacklisted even on the fucking moon

(that's a joke no we don't know anything about a PS6)

[crimson sundial]

What's all the dislike emojis for the recent stream announcement for? Did the haters get to the reactions first this time or something? Lol

[leaden turret]

(was more continuing the running joke about people immediately asking when the next-next update is coming out following an announcement for the next update)

[mortal ginkgo]

IGN is only loved by minority of the minority so.

[pliant prawn]

PS6 will be a nano bot injection that uses AI to gamify your whole life. All blue collar jobs just get a satisfactory skin for your brain chip to lay across your eyes

[unkempt blade]

it's ok, we can figure it out from the hidden messages you left for us in the trailer

[mortal ginkgo]

Satisfactory 2 wont have Carts, can confirm. 100%. Yes.

[unkempt blade]

ok if you go to 0:21 and zoom in on one of the boxes in the background it says "PS6 release is 05/15/2026"

[crimson sundial]

But it's a satisfactory progress update.. lol it's making it seem like we dislike satisfactory and not the IGN part. I'm all for a game I enjoy still getting attention from the devs. I doubt they'd say much different at all if they were doing the announcement with a different group besides IGN.

[mortal ginkgo]

I mean, IGN garnered so much hate that it spills to everywhere. I am not a hater but I get where those people are coming from.

In a way, they hate the fact that CSS doing anything with IGN to begin with can be a trigger for this.

[unkempt blade]

yeah but it says they'll be replaced by factory trains which should be equally adorable

[uncut bolt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdjkq0imI6c

[abstract heron]

What is dis

[leaden turret]

#streams-and-videos

[uncut bolt]

ok didnt noticed

[tall root]

@void gorge As far as I know this hasn't been clarified yet, will the console version have support for dedicated servers? I know there won't be cross-platform p2p play.

[abstract heron]

CSS plans to do a video next week about it

[tall root]

Sweet

New job starts earlier and I can't catch the dev streams anymore

[rigid mist]

is there a way to rotate a hologram slightly less

[void gorge]

No Dedicated Servers on consoles no, sorry to say

[mortal ginkgo]

they didnt specify what they will talk....

[tall root]

Gotcha...
So we're sol in terms of playing with console & pc together?

[abstract heron]

Will it have mod support

[glad drum]

Multiplayer? Couch co-op or online?

[void gorge]

Yeah

[tall root]

Oh that's extremely unlikely, console makers do not allow modding

[abstract heron]

Okay

Probably disclaimer then modding has to be on pc then

[void gorge]

Uhhh I'll bring the couch co-op question back to the devs tomorrow, I sincerely don't remember what the consensus was back in June

[abstract heron]

Maybe idk

[void gorge]

But my guess is no

[tall root]

That's also likely where the restriction on multiplayer is coming from, xbox and playstation both want most games to use their matchmaking servers for all multiplayer functions

[mortal ginkgo]

everyone including my mom knows that consoles do not support or allow modding 😛

[abstract heron]

Will u keep everything updated?

[tall root]

And my understanding is that games with crossplay usually have to work out a special deal to be allowed to use 3rd party matchmaking servers

[void gorge]

On consoles? Same version as PC always

[glad drum]

Yeah, that was my guess too lol - Thank you for the answer 🙂

[abstract heron]

Okay

[abstract heron]

You should do a showing off consoles for a few weeks when back to show us how it works

[fiery lotus]

Tell that to all my modded console games when I was a kid

[abstract heron]

Or always gameplay

[fiery lotus]

Haven't had a console since I was like 13 though

[tall root]

Part of the reason that ms does this is that they can push people to using the ms store on pc to purchase games if they want xbox crossplay(exactly what happened with drg) and shovel a little extra money into thier big greedy pockets

[mortal ginkgo]

Things were different when you were a kid.

[feral geyser]

So like, 2-3 years

(I tease)

[fiery lotus]

Try 17

[mortal ginkgo]

holy youngster

[feral geyser]

We're old

[mortal ginkgo]

I go die then. 😔

[feral geyser]

Don't forget to make an appointment with your chiropractor 😭

Unless the answer's changed recently, consoles will be able to crossplay with each other (so Xbox + PS). The given reason for not having PC+Console crossplay is that CSS don't want to have to tie PC release schedules to consoles, since consoles tend to have a time-consuming acceptance process, and they wanted to be able to push PC patches out more quickly

[mortal ginkgo]

I know bro, I will go tell him that I saw someone in internet that wasn't even a vitamin when I came to life. 😭

[feral geyser]

No, they meant they were aged 13, 17 years ago

[mortal ginkgo]

Oh..... oooooh....

[tall root]

Great, thanks

[leaden turret]

*lack of console > pc crossplay is not because of css, is because of ms/sony

[lucid flower]

my dimensional depot wants to multiply items from the upload slots.. :c

[white dawn]

Ah, okay, my info's outdated then. :)

[feral geyser]

That's how it was with Astroneer too. Microsoft was the key reason crossplay didn't work effectively.

[leaden turret]

because of the time-consuming acceptance process + obligation for same patch release = no crossplay with the mouseless plebs 😛

[mortal ginkgo]

one of the main reason is how PC is too easy to mod/cheat while consoles are not. its just PR disaster when you get constant complains from PC Gamers etc

I mean look at the recent Battlefield and the cheater count.. its like holy doggos, go get some life or go outside.

[white dawn]

Er, well if that is still the stated reason, then technically that is CSS's decision, not MS/Sony throwing up technical barriers to crossplay. They could support crossplay between PC+Console if they were willing to work within that framework

[leaden turret]

didn't say it wasn't their decision, was saying ms/sony were to blame

[white dawn]

(Not that I'm saying CSS was wrong to have decided that, but if the acceptance process + patch-release parity is still the reasons they're not doing crossplay, IMO that can't be blamed on MS/Sony)

Heh, I guess I just wouldn't phrase it that way. :)

[mortal ginkgo]

I think you should delete that headcannon of yours.

Crossplay is not supported or cant be because of service providers. Thats all there is to it.

[leaden turret]

if console peeps require that pc be on the same patch but also have cumbersome release schedules, console peeps are to blame

[mortal ginkgo]

I mean, its not that deep 😛

[feral geyser]

shallow-deep?

[white dawn]

I have yet to hear CSS say anything about service providers not allowing PC to crossplay with consoles.

[feral geyser]

incompatible music

[white dawn]

The stated reasons I've always heard from CSS is that they don't want to have to shackle PC releases to parity with Consoles

[leaden turret]

because of the obligation placed on them by ms/sony

[white dawn]

Which is fine -- as I say, I don't think that's a bad decision. But CSS technically could have decided to do that, and there would be PC+Console crossplay

[lucid flower]

heyy..

[mortal ginkgo]

They don't have to say that, they don't have to respond to every proclaim.

No company does crossplay because MS/Sony does not allow it for various and justifable reasons.

Just because "you got a self proclaimed hint", doesn't mean CSS should have a respond to. Kek.

[white dawn]

Nah, it's just that that obligation turned out to be incompatible with what CSS wanted to do with the game. Neither side is at fault there, IMO. It's just that CSS chose to do it the way they did

[lucid flower]

is anyone having the same issue as me?

[leaden turret]

ms/sony: pc/crossplay requires pc and console be on same version
css: we could do pc/console crossplay, but we'd have to delay releases on pc

[abstract heron]

I am hoping for a good ficmas this year

[leaden turret]

therefore, ms/sony to blame

[willow glen]

quick multiply the somersloops before the bug is fixed
(no I’ve never encountered this)

[white dawn]

Well, you are correct that it's not like I have some magic mirror into CSS's business meetings and such. :D But since Xbox+Playstation can crossplay, and lists like https://store.steampowered.com/curator/39520863-Cross-Platform-Play/ exist which seem to imply that Console/PC crossplay is entirely possible so long as the developers are okay with the restrictions, I'm inclined to continue to believe CSS's public statements on the matter. :)

[leaden turret]

ms/sony could say "oh yeah, you can have a release channel/edition that's crossplay-enabled", but if they don't, developers would have to choose between delaying pc releases or not enabling crossplay

[white dawn]

MS/Sony aren't gonna say no to a developer's money if they want to implement crossplay. Doing so means you've gotta agree to their requirements, sure, but that's nobody's fault, it's just how it is.

[lucid flower]

haha, its actually a selection of items.. i cant multiply what i want haha

[mortal ginkgo]

Crossplay is always possible. Doesn't mean Sony/MS likes it.

I mean... it seems you are too deep into this for some reason so I will be leaving it at that.

[white dawn]

Anyway, I feel like we're playing semantics here and it's not like I've got a dog in this race anyway, so eh. :)

[visual cosmos]

I'm pretty sure thats a duplication glitch that works with anything
And we're not supposed to talk about it but yes

[mortal ginkgo]

Also I dont think a Console user would love to play with random PC folks. God knows the mods that can hell, even hurt the consoles can be dangerous.

[lucid flower]

its multiplying those items every time i load back into my save :c

[visual cosmos]

Yea dup glitch

[mortal ginkgo]

it is a known bug I believe.

[white dawn]

Well I was mostly responding to "No company does crossplay because MS/Sony does not allow it for various and justifable reasons," which is patently untrue; there's a list right there of games which do it. :)

[feral geyser]

I've had this happen where I save and quit with leaves uploading from my inventory, and when I come back, it is a full stack again, duping leaves

It never happened with anything else, and now it has stopped.

[lucid flower]

oh... sowy its just that i wated to fix it if there was a fix.. but thank you <3

[leaden turret]

wasn't sure anyone was saying that

[mortal ginkgo]

I was saying it and I was wrong.

I was being FOOLISH brotherman!

😭

[visual cosmos]

The issue happens with game recording what you have uploading when you die, if you dont want to duplicate anything just die with nothing uploading

[feral geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/fool-took-fool-of-a-took-gandalf-pippin-gif-5998055

[leaden turret]

I remember back in the day that some FPS games didn't have console crossplay because the PC players would have mouse advantage and kick their asses

[feral geyser]

Ah crude, we can't do gifs, I keep forgetting

[brave horizon]

Consoles will never be able to catch up with PC hardware wise so that kind of sounds right

[white dawn]

I will also gladly accept a label of foolishness here. :D Kind of a silly discussion anyway. :)

[lucid flower]

will do thanks

[visual cosmos]

Old controller sensitivity was just sad lmao

[brave horizon]

The reason being is because of the companies and networks they run on such as PSN and Xbox Live

[mortal ginkgo]

I also got the feeling that MS/Sony doesn't like games being moddable when also being cross-play. It is a dangerous and sometimes damaging thing.

Not that I wouldnt mind if Satisfactory had cross play. I wouldnt lose anything and more power to you folks.

Hope it eventually changes in future.

Anyone know how to get rid of these black squared in the interactive map when I upload my world?

[willow glen]

auto aim was desperately needed, goodness I was not having fun on controller before that became a thing.

Difficult to add to satisfactory tho, specifically for buildings

[leaden turret]

scim has their own discord.

buuuut there's some fog of war setting somewhere.

I honestly detest Sony for that sole purpose. Sure there’s other reasons but that’s the reason that made me switch

do i keep the light in the inside or move them to the outside "ring" that i made

[unkempt blade]

they could make those expansion packs too, then the game would have somewhere to go later

[leaden turret]

I wasn't aware monopoly had expansion packs?

[brave horizon]

Imagine playing satisfactory in satisfactory but on a game board

[visual cosmos]

and yes the beam connector could be replaced by perfectly placed beams but clipping causes weirdness so eh

[glad drum]

Thank you 🙂

it is intentionally sus

also if you think that's sus, you should see the comment I made the other day about arachnophobia mode, achievements, and mods

Hello Doctor Monocular, I have recently reconciled my relationship with my wife, so I am not available to marry at this time. However, I will let you know if that changes. It is good to have a plan B for everything. Hope this helps,

[feral geyser]

You can't just say that and not say it.

[leaden turret]

yes I can

[glad drum]

No way, are you the real Doug? I saw your posts on reddit

[native tapir]

Hello, yes I am the real Doug. Have you been having many issues with fake Dougs?

Thanks,
-Doug

Hello Satisfactory Community, I am so glad they have a Satisfactory Subreddit on Discord. @glad drum, let me know if you spot any fake Dougs. I have long suspected that Kay Whitmore from Kodak has been impersonating me to sully my "just okay" reputation.

Thanks,
-Doug

[leaden turret]

snoop dougie doug

[glad drum]

Not many issues, they never live up to your reputation so they're easier to spot.

[native tapir]

Hello again, always good to hear from you. You do not have to worry much about most fake Dougs. But be on the lookout for Kay Whitmore from Kodak. The easiest way to spot him is to ask him if it was a mistake for Kodak to ignore digital cameras. He is a proud man and will break character even when the risks are high.

Hope this helps.
-Doug

[violet wave]

im near about to lose my mind lol. i've narrowed down a power consumption fluctuation to my rotor/frames factory, but i've checked over every single machine minimum 8 times each, and theyre all at 100% efficiency (miners included)

[icy temple]

how do you exactly do that?

[glad drum]

Hm... it must not be the rotor/frame factory then, eh?

[violet wave]

it simply has to be

I have a power switch on the whole factory

switch it off, power grid goes 100% flat 100% solid

switch it on, fluctuations

[strong wind]

i wonder in satsifactory on console will be crossplay atleast between xbox and pc dunno if sonys got that stick out their backside yet

[lunar jasper]

so i have three identical aluminium factories and one makes 555, one makes 585 and one makes 570 how is this possible

[leaden turret]

me no likey spaghetti

uhh some would say valves, some would say some sort of looped manifold system or something

[hard ivy]

then they're not identical

Kick your little brother off the wifi, tell him to torrent illicit material some other time.

[lunar jasper]

how does this work?

[azure linden]

or stop seeding that hntai tentacle collection for everyone

[lunar jasper]

i put random valves and it worked

[hard ivy]

that's not how you fix pipe issues

[lunar jasper]

but now i get steady 600

then how do i fix it?

[azure linden]

maybe disconnect the end points from the main pipe

let it fill up

[noble topaz]

i have 2 choices, settle with geforce now, or fight with my laptop to get it to play the game at below 30-40 fps

[azure linden]

and then connect again

[leaden turret]

pretty sure your graphics are going to look better on your laptop

[lunar jasper]

okay nvm it didnt work, just looked like it cause i got steady for some minutes now its down again Xd

[azure linden]

i'd probably choose less fps than the most compressed image i ever saw xD

[violet wave]

are ur pipes full

full pipes r happy pipes

[lunar jasper]

pipes are very full

unless you're doing aluminium, then full pipes means a deadlock 💀

I'd rather drop the game's detail and run it locally than depend on streaming services like that.

[white dawn]

Yeah, keeping them totally separate means you're unlikely to run into problems (beyond whatever problems you might run into with pipes in general)

[hard ivy]

VIPs work fine for merging

[white dawn]

You can mix them into a single pipe system and have it work just fine, but it can often mean a lot of otherwise-unnecessary debugging when things go awry

[violet wave]

look me in the eyes and tell me to build a VIP pipe system and we're fighting right there

[white dawn]

It's a lot simpler to just keep them separate and not incur any potential future debugging load

[lunar jasper]

yeah i use this

[noble topaz]

i got another screenshot to show how bad it is,

[azure linden]

good enough for low settings tbh

[noble topaz]

#screenshots message
you can count the pixels

[hard ivy]

all of my aluminium setups run on VIPs and every single one works fine

[lunar jasper]

but the problem is not the water i guess, but the alumina solutioin

[violet wave]

no diss to the effectiveness of the system, I just dont wanna google how to build it every time

[white dawn]

Over time I've settled on the "as simple as possible" piping schemes. :D I've spent my time debugging pipe systems, and don't feel like doing it again
