satisfactory

[violet needle]

yeah

[hard ivy]

Classic

[violet needle]

the priority merger between the resiudual and recycled rubber should favor the resiudal right?

also breaking news: local goober does a silly :3

[noble stratus]

#screenshots message feedback ? : )

[violet needle]

all should be good now tho

all that i need to fully run this now is sulfur

but its almost 4am so ill prob do it tomorrow

[honest geyser]

come make me building like that lol

[noble stratus]

took me all day and more

been reworking it for 3 days now

and in 8 hours after sleeping i will do some rebuilding on the inside because i switched recipes

[noble stratus]

logistic need rerouting

[violet needle]

also i just realized

i am producing ever so slightly more liquid fuel than i will use

how to keep it from clogging at some point?

[noble stratus]

valve overflow with packager and sink maybe

[violet needle]

uhhhh how

oh wait nvm

im using exactly 125

yet another oopise moment :3

i really should sleep

[noble stratus]

its 3:50 am for me

[violet needle]

same

[noble stratus]

so me too. gn

[violet needle]

bai bai

[fiery lotus]

I think I finally found the "intended" starting location for this area

It looks very convenient and closer to the oil

[violet needle]

i have temporarily™ solved the problem - 3 big tanks

fit neatly right by the station

[wicked nacelle]

fluid buffers are never the solution unless the question is train transport

[violet needle]

it is

[wicked nacelle]

for your "problem" the solution is realizing that you don't have a problem

[violet needle]

yaeh

still its a train ride in a single car so i want that buffer just in case

• it looks nice

[wicked nacelle]

can't argue with "I like the way it looks"

[fiery lotus]

Don't even need them for trains just make compact columns of pipes

(Don't do this)

[wicked nacelle]

they buffer the stoppage time when a train is docking

just like a container does for non-fluids

[frail sleet]

you can easily make a liquid overflow which runs generators

[violet needle]

i have a mod that removes this

[violet needle]

^

but still

[wicked nacelle]

apparently aeryn has blocked me..

[violet needle]

it shouldnt clog

[frail sleet]

you can easily make a liquid overflow which runs generators
to do this, just run a pipe which goes up a bunch and then down again. The liquid level has to rise to the top for it to pass over, and it won't do that if there's anywhere lower for it to go. But if the pipes are full, it will go over.

Headlift is a potential issue: put a pump BEFORE the junction, not after.

[hard ivy]

With the recycling loop, fuel being slightly underutilized is usually not an issue. Unless you set it up weirdly

[violet needle]

explain to me
i put in 400 sulfur
and got 776 turbo fuel
wheres the rest

[frail sleet]

It can be because of starving residual rubber

but that doesn't really make it halt, just run less efficiently

[violet needle]

no right now the only issue with this plant is that i need to bring in the sulfur

otherwise it runs okay

since like 3 hor plants dont work cos of it

[terse flower]

Wsg

[hard ivy]

Depends whether you designed assuming the extra fuel would be used or not ig

[violet needle]

#screenshots

[hard ivy]

It's fine to have extra production capacity and not intend to use it. It just lowers power efficiency slightly

But not using something you planned to use can be an issue when byproducts are involved

[wicked nacelle]

EVER so slightly. 0.1MW/machine

hoverpack takes 100MW I believe so 1000x

[violet needle]

what is yalls coupon point influx?

[terse flower]

Can someone help me do a bit of planning? I’m a bit stuck on what I should do and I want some advice

[frail sleet]

sure

[terse flower]

Mind if I dm you?

[frail sleet]

go ahead

[violet needle]

the throughput monitors are really nice

[thorn dagger]

HELLO!

[violet needle]

#screenshots pretty neat no?

also im going eepgn

[feral geyser]

Pretty sick

[fiery lotus]

Now I wonder how much energy such a thing would use in reality, surely under 1MW

[feral geyser]

Straight/curve mode for pipes are the best part of 1.1

[wicked nacelle]

presumably you can just take gravity * human mass * 1.1 (heat loss) and get the answer

[fiery lotus]

I could do that but that is going to give far less than it will actually take to run props I imagine

[violet needle]

Fr

[split pewter]

is 2 isc's full of overflow turbofuel enough to not need any more for basically the whole game?

[feral geyser]

For what purpose, jet pack?

[split pewter]

mainly (though not alot)

[feral geyser]

maaaybe, are you saying that's it, stop making more?

[split pewter]

more turbofuel is being made but its backed up so its not really being used

the other things is like a few truck stations

that i didnt touch due to it working

[feral geyser]

And drone ports, drones fly pretty fast on turbofuel.

Yeah, just get it used for more things, but for personal use, 2 ISCs will last a long while.

[split pewter]

k

ill turn it all into rocket fuel and do an overflow for power

once i get nitric

[fiery lotus]

Some of these alternate recipes are some real comedy, "Coated Iron Plate"

[feral geyser]

That one is good actually

[fiery lotus]

Surely there's enough iron to go around already

I guess it does decrease power requirements at least

[feral geyser]

Better throughput rate with fewer machines

[topaz shale]

I'm wondering if a megafactory of sorts for all of phase 4 parts is a good idea. Probably not but let's try it.

Will at least force me to use trains as a logistics option.

[split pewter]

1 particle accelerator can go up to 2500 mw?

(without oc)

[feral geyser]

Yeah, it depends on the recipe I think, but they are wild.

[split pewter]

eh

not too worried, shouldnt be yet

a whole nuclear power plant (the building) is needed to power just one at max mw though

not good numbers :P

[topaz shale]

I have plenty of extra power to handle all of phase 4. Well hopefully. I'm only needing to have 1 machine at a time of stuff.

[limpid cairn]

guys how do you fix the docking train bug

like my train perma tries to dock to the station

[silk ocean]

Station correct way around?

LCD display should be at the end

[split pewter]

what color code is caterium?

[crisp edge]

@thick oak thanks for playing, things are lookign good!

[crisp edge]

yellow/gold

[split pewter]

code

thats just a color

[silk ocean]

According to AI:

• Primary Caterium Ore: #e2b148 — a rich golden-yellow
• Secondary highlight (from item icon): #a7aab7 — a soft, muted gray-blue

[thick oak]

Aw thanks, I'm trying to figure out how I want to design that computer thingy. I'm going to put one in my world as well.

[split pewter]

a bit too dark

[silk ocean]

Could just be lighting?

[split pewter]

im using a sign, there would be no lighting issue

[silk ocean]

Well as in the global illumination / in-game lighting

or the AI is just wrong XD

[split pewter]

ai is wrong

[silk ocean]

Win+Shift+S on some, paste into an image editor like GIMP, use the dropper tool to select the color?

[split pewter]

gonna need a website

[frail sleet]

@flat zinc best not to put multiple valves in series like that, there's a headlift propagation bug that can affect flow badly.

Pump is not affected by that issue

[elder apex]

try these two: #ae9c77 and #a27a40 - from one of the swatch mods

[flat zinc]

yeah i gave up on what i was trying to do lol

[elder apex]

or #e9d2a0 / #ddc89e if you want something lighter

[silk ocean]

or just drag the color sliders until it's close enough? xD

[split pewter]

got it

b39a5e is very close

like same color

awesome

[topaz shale]

Phase 5 here I come.

Eventually

[boreal musk]

#957e4e

[split pewter]

i already got the color code

b39a5e

[boreal musk]

you can also use #e2b148

[crisp edge]

Missed that you asked for a hex code. Try looking at the wiki, idk why anyone would just know that offhand

And now I see you already got it

[split pewter]

yeah

looked at the wiki, didnt find anything, took it into my own hands

[boreal musk]

#design-and-architecture message

[split pewter]

now i have one for copper, ai limiters and caterium (#765044, #1B1C1E, and #B39A5E)

[split pewter]

caterium yellow is bad in that one

[lofty juniper]

is uranium only used for fuel?

[elder apex]

nuclear fuel and nuke nobelisks

[dense violet]

So basically fuel

[limpid cairn]

what are the odds that i dont get the alt recipe i want with 5 hard drives?

[bronze dagger]

Just randomly found out all the biomes are connected and it’s not just a map for each

Holy this games huge

[vale grotto]

Depends how many alts you have unlocked and how many you have available that you could roll from the drive

[wicked nacelle]

Until you make hypertube canons and see it from above. Then it feels small

[vale grotto]

Always a huge moment when a newbie finds that out o7

[wicked nacelle]

It’s like the thing astronauts say when they see the earth from space and all the petty political squabbles seem .. well petty

[limpid cairn]

Well I got 24 alt recipes I can’t get

good question, let me check

I'm on phase 3 on my current save. Think phase 4 was as far as I went

[zealous urchin]

Hey could I get some help, how do i switch foundation to concrete foundation

[sullen gull]

Heh, Over 3500 hours, and I only just realized you can right click to switch something like foundation styles while holding E.....

[zealous urchin]

so hold e and right click

alright thank you

@sullen gull it didnt work

[sullen gull]

How far are you? Can you make any foundation types other than the standard Ficsit?

Concrete, asphalt, coated concrete...

[zealous urchin]

I think concrete

Im teir 2 right now

But Im going to be getting off, I am getting tired

[sullen gull]

#screenshots message

[boreal musk]

from your hotbar?

go to foundation tab, select the concrete filter on top right

[zealous urchin]

Ok I am definitely not far enough

[halcyon dawn]

wdym youre not far enough

you need the awesome shop and 3 tickets to get concrete foundations

which is tier 2

[sullen gull]

You can also click Q to open the build index, click foundations, and switch it at the top right corner of each section

[zealous urchin]

ah thats my next milestone

I was just in a start with someone else for just a bit and they told me about concrete foundations

[halcyon dawn]

and you can easily get 10 tickets if you get like 10 (def less, but 10 is still an easy goal) animal remains

[zealous urchin]

sorry to waste your time

[halcyon dawn]

oops i mean 3 tickets

[zealous urchin]

sounds good other than that im going to bed

[halcyon dawn]

i think youd actually need 6 remains

[sullen gull]

For other foundations, you'll need coupons. And not a waste of time. You asked and aswered.

Night

[zealous urchin]

Thank you

[halcyon dawn]

wdym other foundations youll need coupons, you need them for all of them

[zealous urchin]

And thank you too park

[halcyon dawn]

yw

[sullen gull]

Other than the standard Ficsit.

[halcyon dawn]

oh i thought you were including concrete

in the you dont need coupons

[sullen gull]

No, afaik, you need to purchase all other concrete foundation types, other than the ficsit standard, with coupons.

[halcyon dawn]

idk what afaik means

[sullen gull]

As far As i know

[halcyon dawn]

ah

[limpid cairn]

why is the pure copper alt recipe only using 10 water per min

[sullen gull]

What's your clock rate set at?

[limpid cairn]

100% (normal)

[halcyon dawn]

its one of the most efficient recipes

[limpid cairn]

theres no point in upping the clock rate since i dont have enough copper

[halcyon dawn]

:P

what situation are you using pure copper and dont have / need enough copper for more than 1 refinery?

[sullen gull]

Post the ask in #1038092680493801533 with screenshots of the refinery screen and any other pertinate info.

[limpid cairn]

i have like 20 refineries

[halcyon dawn]

oh

[limpid cairn]

each uses 10 water each

i still have 760 p/m excess water

😭

[halcyon dawn]

so just delete all of them except 1 and overclock it or leave 2

[sullen gull]

oh, right ... I don't understand the issue.

[limpid cairn]

its using TOO less water per min

😭

[halcyon dawn]

this isnt an issue?

[limpid cairn]

yes

[halcyon dawn]

is it a water biproduct or smth?

[limpid cairn]

yup, from alumina

[upbeat charm]

I have starved myself of Satisfactort for a week cuz I have an important exam. All the waiting is almost over as the day of reckoning is tmr. However I started to lose control of my urge.

[halcyon dawn]

or did you place water extractors

[sullen gull]

If it has an abundance of water, that's not an issue other than the power draw of the extra extractors.

[halcyon dawn]

so, people like to back feed the alumina water back to into its self, and just underclock that water extractos

[sullen gull]

Just t off and use the water for other stuff.

It won't hurt to have 'excess' water.

[halcyon dawn]

its a water biproduct from alumina hes not feeding back into itself

[sullen gull]

Only when trying to recycle (aluminum), do you need to feed a specific amount.

[sullen gull]

We were talking about pure copper mate.

[limpid cairn]

i tried feeding it back into itself but tbf that was kinda too complicated for me and then someone told me to just feed the excess water into pure copper

[sullen gull]

Oh

[halcyon dawn]

so like i asked how he got the water

[sullen gull]

never mind, I didn't notice chat scroll.

[halcyon dawn]

so what you do is see how much water byproduct you make, and how much water you need, subtract those numbers and set your extractor to that number, and make a junction to connect them

[sullen gull]

If you are trying to recycle alu water, just close the loop and only feed the amount needed for (Total Needed - Waste produced)

[halcyon dawn]

and if you have multiple refineries just dont loop them all together loop them back individually

well it could work depending on the items per minute

[silk ocean]

Is there an alt recipe for Copper Powder?

2000/min of Copper Ingots then XD

[halcyon dawn]

your alternative is converting items into copper ig

[halcyon dawn]

pure copper 🤤

yeah nuclear pasta is kinda intended to be expensive

[sullen gull]

You can tell if something has an alternate if you hit O and search the item. If there is a blank spot with a '?', then there is an alt that you do not have yet.

[silk ocean]

Thanks both

[limpid cairn]

bro why do batteries make water too

😭

[halcyon dawn]

they do??

you should use classic battery

its better anyways

[halcyon dawn]

and if you dont wanna just feed the water into the sulfiric acid refineries

or allumina refineries

you have options here

[elder apex]

or just skip making any batteries, it's not like they are required

[halcyon dawn]

youre so right actually

oh nvm :P

[limpid cairn]

you just reminded me that i got the alt recipe for that thx

[halcyon dawn]

theyre used in super computers

[elder apex]

you can make super computers without batteries

[halcyon dawn]

oh, theres a recipe that doesnt use them lmfao

yeah and batteries arent even that good for drones anymore

[limpid cairn]

so i guess i dont make batteries for now?

[halcyon dawn]

what was your plan with them?

[limpid cairn]

craft them, i thought something in my tier needed them

[sullen gull]

Not recycling. but feeding multiple refineries are fine. Just distribute the flow evenly : #screenshots message 😏

[sullen gull]

Unless you're using then for drones, you only need to handcraft a few for the mam I think. I don't ever make batteries, and use rocket fuel for drone fuel

[halcyon dawn]

i like circles

yeah turbo fuel is also better (barely) than batteries

[sullen gull]

I believe it was slightly less iirc

[boreal musk]

base recipe supercomputer doesnt need battery nor aluminum

[elder apex]

i don't even recall ever having to handcraft any for the mam either, but I also skip a lot of the things in there that i find unnecessary

[halcyon dawn]

i aspire to do stuff like this but i never take the time to make logistic floors and stuff, i throw down a rectangle esc shape, and make uncooked spaghetti (its all straight belts but they get to where they need (without clipping) in interesting ways)

[halcyon dawn]

tinker what mod do you use for circles, or are you crazy and make them by hand

[sullen gull]

I have too much time it seems. Out side of work of course! 🤣 But, to be fair, I did 'cheat' by using the Curvebuilder mod.

[sullen gull]

See above

[halcyon dawn]

ty

[limpid cairn]

i make 480 byproduct and need 800(600 basically for now), so i just underclock my water extractors to 120 water p/m?

[halcyon dawn]

i think part of my issue is i also make the bare minimum most of the time so i also cant make a medium scale factory anyways

[halcyon dawn]

if you need 600 water per min and make 480, yeah you only need to make 120 more

itll be slow to start up since you arent giving enough water to begin with but eventually itll pickup itself slowly

alternatively you overclock the extractor for like a minute to jump start it, then quickly turn the extractor back to pace

[sullen gull]

Which is it? 800 or 600? For one you'll need 320. The other only 120.

[sick dragon]

If we dont want to recycle it you can also just turn it into concrete then sink it

[limpid cairn]

the factory needs 800 but the pipes can only carry 600p/m so ill supply the max ammount for now and use more extractors later

[halcyon dawn]

you use 200 units of water, add a junction and pipe the extra water from there

or pipe the water from both sides

[sullen gull]

Just split 800 between two 600. The 600 should only flow at 400 each and be fine.

[sleek pine]

any way to split things into specific amounts?

[halcyon dawn]

belt splitters

/belt balancers

[sullen gull]

Outside of some crazy balancers, no.

[sleek pine]

shame

[halcyon dawn]

hopefully a manifold could work for you

[sleek pine]

i deleted my save with a load of progress for some stupid reason and now im having trouble getting back in the game without using cheats

[sick dragon]

Praise the manifold

[sleek pine]

my attention span is cooked

[halcyon dawn]

i cry when i manifold rods and screws, theyre stack limit is so high

[sullen gull]

It's really not needed. So long as the required amount doesn't exceed the input, you could manifold everything and it would balance fine.

[sick dragon]

We worship manifolds like factorio worships the bus

[sleek pine]

dont manifolds lower the amount of stuff received more and more the farther you go down?

[sick dragon]

Yes but all machines will still get their inputs

[halcyon dawn]

also depending on the situation, you can send extra items that direction and if theres a splitter somewhere, the belt will start to overflow and the correct items/min will go the other direction

[stray loom]

Honestly just make each production line based on how much you can extract from the nodes you need for the item you're making. There are so many nodes you can always go tap into another one to build another production line

[halcyon dawn]

a manifold fills up the inventory of the machines, then the machines will only take at the rate they need

[sleek pine]

ive had trouble with machines getting all the shtuff

[halcyon dawn]

theyre more compact than belt balancers but take longer for the factory to start up since machines need to fill up

[sick dragon]

The downside of manifolds is they take time to warm up as the first machines must fill. You can prime it by putting inputs in the first machines

[sullen gull]

In the terms of splitting each time, yes. But, again, as long as you don't exceed 1200/min required per 'section', no worries.

[stray loom]

As long as your input is >= to the needed amount it will eventually saturate but a larger manifold with faster belts will take longer

A really big line might take a couple hours to reach steady state production

[sullen gull]

Unles you 'prime'

[halcyon dawn]

im so glad this hasnt happened to me (yet (hopefully never))

[sullen gull]

As long as you are letting all the machines fill up all inputs and outputs before sending the parts wherever they're going next, it should balance in a few minutes.

[halcyon dawn]

its only never happened bc i havent built at a large scale yet :P

[sick dragon]

Oh sweet summer child

[halcyon dawn]

and thats bc for most building materials i only make 1 constructor worth, and at a small factory dedicated to it or up to 4 materials

and ive beaten the game this way :P

[stray loom]

It's honestly not really a problem. I'll get the works going and then by the time I've finished designing the building to put around it all everything has saturated and I've identified and fixed any issues I had in the build

[sick dragon]

Im planning an ingot factory

Can turn a line of 1200 iron into 3k

And im using the leached recipe for it

[sullen gull]

I was the same way for a long while. Only building the bare minimum and just being patient while a container fills up.

[halcyon dawn]

my issue is a wire after building the whole factory, unless its a blueprint

[halcyon dawn]

i never ran into issues playing this way actually

bc i never really used those materials often and/or quickly enough they would stock pile while i deisgn my next factory and even if its a quick design i might only use like 40 super computers for example max

ah wait i think i know why

im producing 980 alumina per min

980 water?

or alumina solution?

i have no clue how you got 980 alumina solution /min in one pipe

[limpid cairn]

alumina

[halcyon dawn]

oh...

did you merge all of your alumina refineries outputs?

[prisma thicket]

They didn't get 980 into one pipe, they got 600 into the pipe with 380 being stuck in the machines 😛

[halcyon dawn]

ok thanks for correcting my grammar or smth

That will keep happening until you finish phase 5 😭

[bronze dagger]

I so don’t even want to though I’m enjoying just there being more

[limpid cairn]

i had 4 refineries that produces 120p/m per refinery(480p/m in total) with the normal recipe, im currently using the alt recipe that generates no silica

[halcyon dawn]

yeah sloppy alumina and pure aluminum ingot?

[limpid cairn]

and that is producing double the normal ammount

[halcyon dawn]

so you did merge the outputs?

[limpid cairn]

yes

there was no real point in not too since i was producing 480 p/m

[halcyon dawn]

there is a point not to

the next refinery uses the same amount the first refinery makes

[hybrid nymph]

I just fixed my friend's setting now all of my Steam friends can join me 🤗

I feel so proud of my self

[limpid cairn]

are you trying to say each refinery should be hooked up to only 1 other refinery? (both creating other recipes)

[hybrid nymph]

Apparently you have to go to > Manage session > Session settings >Session type Steam > Open for friends

I feel so dumb that I didn't know that lol 😆

[halcyon dawn]

i dont remember aluminum production too well but i do remember 1 refinery uses bauxite and water to make alumina solution, then another refinery uses the same amount of alumina solution (if clocked the same) as the previous refinery and some coal to make alumina scrap

[limpid cairn]

yeah

next save ill just package the water and sink it

i cannot be asked to do this again 🙏

Tomorrow maybe, I just closed the game

[frail sleet]

@kindred seal 144 gens, not 143

[zenith pecan]

My loop for aluminium production works alright, though its scale is a bit out there, each group was 7 refineries, 1 used fresh water alone, the other two were wastewater only, the remaining 4 made the scrap.

[halcyon dawn]

this is interesting

[zenith pecan]

It needed some mild clock shenanigans to make it go but the loop isolates the wastewater from the fresh.

[boreal musk]

all my alu plant has separate waste and fresh water system

[zenith pecan]

This clip is short but shows the layout #screenshots message

My original pipe layout absolutely did not work though 🤣

[neon cloak]

i feel like i might return to this game to do everything properly next playthrough

proper start i mean

[prisma thicket]

I'm doing a stupid start for this world xD started in Dune Desert, and I'm hand-crafting everything until I get to Coal Power (minus the smart plating for the spelevator)

[neon cloak]

😭 i hate handcrafting now after figuring some things out

it's weird to return to it out of necessity when im far

[silk ocean]

I find it kinda annoying the flow outta stations stops when a train arrives, it's a busy station so it's hard to get everything belted out xD

[neon cloak]

trains sound rad

[silk ocean]

They're awesome xD

[neon cloak]

im near finish line on unlocking FICSIT Blueprints so i hope my progress will be slightly faster with it

[hybrid nymph]

Awesome glad to hear

[silk ocean]

I should really make more blueprints

[hybrid nymph]

I never bothered with them to be honest

I prefer manual building

It's more fun

[prisma thicket]

That's why you should setup buffers for any input/output. An Industrial Storage bin attached to both ports of the station with your fastest belts, then a single belt feeding out of the bin to or from wherever the materials are going to/coming from.

[hybrid nymph]

well my power is out so I need to fix it because I was an idiot and summersloop overclocked 3 manufacturers and drianed all of ym power

[prisma thicket]

Gotta make sure you got surplus power before you sloop and OC your machines, especially bigger ones like manufacturers

[neon cloak]

im surprised how fast machines can pump out steel beams

[hybrid nymph]

exactly

but apparently summersloop overclocking quadruples the power consumption

[silk ocean]

I do have buffers yea, still a challenge to get everything out when it's continually pausing

[prisma thicket]

Just wait until you get to the Particle accelerators and Converters, up to 2500 MW per machine xD

[neon cloak]

LETSS GOOO MILESTONE REACHED

[neon cloak]

the best reward

[silk ocean]

2500 xD Mine are 21500 xD

250% + Sloops

[prisma thicket]

Oh, is it 25000 top end? My bad

[neon cloak]

i thought that blueprints would be small asf but MK1 it's massive

[silk ocean]

Normally they are about 2500 but sloop and overclock them and it's like 21500

[neon cloak]

i'll just have to finally figure out vertical

[prisma thicket]

And Mk.1 is still too small for some people lol

[hybrid nymph]

well now I need to setup some energency coal generators to make power

so I can get my fuel generators back online

[zealous spear]

Does anybody know what road barrier is the best I'm making kind of a sky Bridge to quickly travel using the Explorer but I don't really trust myself not to throw myself off the edge so I've been looking at them but from what I remember none of them fully cover the entire length of a foundation

[silk ocean]

Other option is build a large battery storage array, charge them, and then disconnect with a switch

If you ever need a kickstart you can just throw the switch again

[prisma thicket]

You can probably overlap them or attach some short walls instead of road barriers.

[zealous spear]

Another issue I remember is that certain Vehicles like the Explorer/truck can just climb over those short walls

I guess I could just do a half wall by placing 2 of them it'll just take a lot more resources so thanks

[hybrid nymph]

well then back to the absics to get my power back up with biofuels

[neon cloak]

biofuel is still rad

even with coal around

[hybrid nymph]

I refuse to craft solid biofuel manually it takes 4 seconds, so lonmg

why devs? Why did you have to make solid biofuel so damn hard to craft?

[silk ocean]

Simple solution don't manually craft anything xD

[hybrid nymph]

not really an option right now with no power lol

[silk ocean]

Ah right xD

[tacit ocean]

why are you out of power?

cus' i would isolate the generators from the network then direct line them to the factories that were critical

[hybrid nymph]

oh thank god my power is back up!!

[silk ocean]

Always a good idea to guarantee resources for powergen, i.e. first priority before anything else downstream

[hybrid nymph]

fine the game is being difficult, so I guess I need to reqire the ENTIRE OIL PLANT!

[silk ocean]

If your power plant needs that much oil then yep XD

[hybrid nymph]

my power plant needs 1200^3m of oil per minute with my 27 refineries

and I need more power slugs...just great

[silk ocean]

loads of slugs around the world at least

[hybrid nymph]

true that

just need to explore some more, haven't even been to the East side of the map yet

[silk ocean]

Night time is good for slughunting, they show up really well

[hybrid nymph]

cool just optimized oil resadue recycling to make petrolem coke and I'm awesome sinking it

I just saved 10 power shards 🤗

[stray herald]

What are some ideas for tier 1 blueprints? I feel like a 16x16x16m cube is too restrictive

(ADA bullied me for that 💔 )

[neon cloak]

idk, with the game's big corpo demeanor towards the player i've thought that it's MASSIVE for mk1

[stray herald]

😭

[neon cloak]

just unlocked blueprints today

[stray herald]

I couldn't even fit a coal generator in it. Just one

[neon cloak]

ig coal generators are smth to be easily put manually

but the rest of the things are too much of a pain in the ass to do it the old way

[stray herald]

Oh yea for sure I was just trying to see what I can put in it

[neon cloak]

everything

[blissful fable]

why does satisfactory hurt my head i love the game but it hurts my head

[neon cloak]

i dont mean to troll but damn the square is fr so generous

[stray herald]

😭

[hybrid nymph]

ahh good my power is FINALLY back up

[stray herald]

This is the most accurate description of the game ever

[neon cloak]

honestly i feel kinda tired and confused during like from 14 to 9 PM irl

it's nice to direct it to specific one game

at least i feel results now

[blissful fable]

i got the game august 13th 14th and i put 64 hours in

[hybrid nymph]

I just finished my oil plant, I will post it in #screenshots

[blissful fable]

but I still have no idea what the entire bubble-gum fuck I'm doing

[hybrid nymph]

how come?

What you confised about? Ask the Professor

Only thing I don't know is train signals

[blissful fable]

its overwhelming thats mainly what it is

[hybrid nymph]

why do you think that?

you don't know where to start?

Well start by placing the hub and building the space elevator

I can hop on your game with you and help you if you'd like

[blissful fable]

im use to games that kinda ish walk you though stuff

[blissful fable]

got both already

[hybrid nymph]

This is a sandbox game like Minecraft, you can setup your factory in any way you desire to complete the space elevator deliveries

okay good good

What tier are you on?

[blissful fable]

i have 2 saves started the second last night

[neon cloak]

i have so many steel ingots bloody hell
like 1800

[blissful fable]

and the first that i am still on tier 3-4

[hybrid nymph]

that's decent

why are you overwhelmed then? Seems like you understand things

[blissful fable]

cant remember exactly i know i just started steel production

[hybrid nymph]

just hunting for power slugs right now

[neon cloak]

did y'all do enhanced asset security milestone on tier 3?

idk if it's worth the work

[blissful fable]

for game i usually have a friend thats played something then i got it and they help me understand the game better but not this instance

[hybrid nymph]

I can help

just ask me a question, I basically have my PhD in this game

[shy mulch]

That's what phase 0 is for, it really walks you through everything

[neon cloak]

wait so do you actually know how pipes work?

so you do know

[hybrid nymph]

yes

I do know how pipes work

[neon cloak]

the pipegame is too hard

[hybrid nymph]

They have a headlift of 10 meters, and if you want them to go up more than that you need a pump, and the mk1 carry 300^3 meters and the mk2 carry 600^3 meters

[neon cloak]

what does 300^3 meters mean

[hybrid nymph]

the pipes work like electricity, they will automatically take the shortest path possible you provide for them, the same with trains

[neon cloak]

ohhhhh

[hybrid nymph]

300 cubic meters of fuild

that's how you write exponents in the chat, the "^" symbol is the exponent symbol

[neon cloak]

the only thing im afraid of for now is HOW MANY and HOW MUCH

[hybrid nymph]

for example 2^3 = 8

[neon cloak]

dem numbers are confusing

[hybrid nymph]

cubic meters is how you measure volume

[neon cloak]

yeye i wanted to write 300x300x300 using * but it makes cursive

[hybrid nymph]

either with fluids, building materials, or airflow

[neon cloak]

what airflow

is there some cooling system in game or what

[hybrid nymph]

I work with computers dude

[neon cloak]

oh you mean generally

[shy mulch]

What level of maths are people learning it school these days, everything I needed to know for satisfactory I'd learned in school by age 12

[hybrid nymph]

We measure fan efficiency in cubic meters per minute

if the Noctua fans blow 52^3m of air per minute they are efficient than the corsair fans that blow 45^3 meters of air per minute

[neon cloak]

math is easy, it's just i need to make the whole line work without over or underconsumption

[hybrid nymph]

just as an example

[neon cloak]

with a clear goal in mind of how much is the end result

[green fiber]

300^3 m is not the same as 300 m^3

[hybrid nymph]

true

but you still understood my point

[green fiber]

Yes but its still confusing to look at

[hybrid nymph]

the game uses the metric system because Americans are dumb and that's what science uses

I work with computers, we use everything in metric units

[shy mulch]

300^3m is an extremely long line
300m^3 is a volume
Or just write 300m³

[green fiber]

I dont use metric in this game i use gallons and fathoms

[silk ocean]

metric is technically the official system in the US I believe

[hybrid nymph]

it isn't

[neon cloak]

do only muricans use ounces?

[hybrid nymph]

Americans are just stupid and are the only country on earth that still uses imperial units

[fiery lotus]

I kinda like the crater lakes, maybe I should try making round factories here

[hybrid nymph]

and everyone else laughs at us because it's super easy to use

[silk ocean]

okay, yea, it's more like encouraged to use

[hybrid nymph]

it's based on the number 10!!

and Celcius is based on the boiling and freezing point of water 😆

a 10 year old in Europe can figure it out

so why can't Americans?

[neon cloak]

explain to me in football fields 🦅

[silk ocean]

UK is a weird mix too, malf metric half imperial

[hybrid nymph]

We measure in yards, which is 3 feet

[neon cloak]

all countries were weird before globalization

[shy mulch]

I built a factory that's 8 football fields long and has to process 19 3/8ths bald eagles per AK47 of allominum gas. Can anyone help me understand why the earth is flat

[silk ocean]

Understandable yea

[fiery lotus]

I mean I went to elementary school in California & we transitioned to metric in 4th grade.
That's where my experience ends though

[hybrid nymph]

well every single country in the EU converted in the 70-90's whether their citizens liked it or not

[neon cloak]

#off-topic-media message

[hybrid nymph]

this has gone off topic

[neon cloak]

Ancient Rus dude were too eager to use them limbs

[hybrid nymph]

regarless we use metric for this game

[neon cloak]

everything gets back on topic immediately professor

it's hard to follow off-topic topics

[hybrid nymph]

thank you for calling me by my title, much appreciated

[subtle escarp]

Hello.
Just to confirm what I'm seeing in the wiki.
||Turbo Motor|| is only used for ||Miner Mk3|| and creating ||Particle Accelerators|| right?
(Mark as spoiler just in case, those are items from Tier 8)

[fiery lotus]

Thank god for spacefaring civilizations

[green fiber]

I wish pirate english was officially back in the game because pirate english does NOT use metric it uses fathoms, leagues and gallons per minute lol

[neon cloak]

HOW MANY TIERS WHAAAAA

[hybrid nymph]

In Minecraft people call me "Dr. Revan"

Since I literally wrote about 30% of the FTB wiki

[green fiber]

And for a certain space elevator part

[hybrid nymph]

If you've played modded MC and looked at the FTB wiki for help, good chace you've read at least 1 of my articles

[shy mulch]

FICSIT guideline breach detected. You have exceeded your daily limit of procrastination. Get back to work immediately or your life contract will be terminated

[subtle escarp]

Yeah, I do not count that as it's a temporary element, but yeah, thank you then !!!!!

[subtle escarp]

OOppss, on my way

[hybrid nymph]

OOps BACK TO WORK!!

No talking on the job site, we're wasting Caterina Park's money

we're slackers lol

[neon cloak]

feed-the-beast.com

FTB is a UK based company and community platform that creates innovative mods, maps, and mod packs for Minecraft on the Java and Bedrock editions.
huh, never heard

[hybrid nymph]

she would be upset

[neon cloak]

Caterina Parks slightly reminds me of that smug aussie billionaire woman

[green fiber]

Oh and some buildings in ||Tier 9|| use them

[neon cloak]

i doubt irl counterpart is as effective tho

[hybrid nymph]

Whatever Ficsit is a trillion dollar company, wasting a few thousand dollars won't hurt them lol

[neon cloak]

it will hurt their ego

[hexed phoenix]

-# Ficsit don't waste, stay efficient!

[hybrid nymph]

I don't give a rat's ass what Caterina Parks thinks of me lol

I work for her, and she doesn't even give me a pension

she doesn't even allow us unionize

[neon cloak]

you for sure like the lore

[hybrid nymph]

She strips us of our identity, my name was Becky, and she made me legally change my name to "pioneer"

True story according to the lore BTW

[neon cloak]

i want to try Subnautica after this game

maybe i should put more faith into singleplayer games

[hybrid nymph]

The woman you play as is named "Becky" and apparently Caterina Parks is a sexist piece of shit because she only hires women to be pioneers

[ivory condor]

subnautica is a great game

[neon cloak]

i have seen way more women doing boring tedious work with no expressed dissatisfaction

[hybrid nymph]

Never played it actually

[neon cloak]

i got it for free on PS4 few years ago but never opened

[hybrid nymph]

been meaning to, I just got stranded deep about a month ago

[neon cloak]

thalassophobia is strong with this one

[hybrid nymph]

Ugh, it's about time I collect my pension from this job

[neon cloak]

imma boutta eat some okroshka

Caterina Parks wont stop me

[hybrid nymph]

I would do the same thing, but damn car is in the shop, and I'm not walking 7Km to the nearest restaurant that sells that

forget that, I'm not walking 14Km round trip

wow night does make it easier to find power slugs, who knew?

[silk ocean]

They stand out like a beacon

[hybrid nymph]

turbo rifle ammo OP

[silk ocean]

Loads of spread/recoil if you unload the entire clip tho xD

[hybrid nymph]

oh cool just found the desert spawn

[blissful fable]

i chose the rocky desert and i wanna feel like i chose right but at the same time IM SO FUCKING FAR FROM EVERYTHING!!!

[hybrid nymph]

exactly, that's why I chose the grassland

[oblique aspen]

I like the rocky desert start, there is pretty much everything you need not that far, and plenty space to build

[blissful fable]

but also at the same time it is nice to have good resource nodes nearby

[silk ocean]

You generally have to end up going globally wheerever you start

[blissful fable]

that is true

[silk ocean]

Dune Desert is good up to about tier 4/5, but then you have to go really far for a lot of stuff

[winged walrus]

This is in every starter place

[hybrid nymph]

Little life hack for this game, if you spam space when using the jetpack, instead of just holding it down, you get about 30% more fuel efficiency

[shy mulch]

I keep thinking "I'll do a playthrough from each starter location just to get a feel for the differences, once I finish my main save" hahaha as if the word 'finish' has any meaning here

[mild stream]

the conveyor belt item frequenzy setting is stuck at 30 items and i can't change the numbers whatsoever. anyone has a solution?

[silk ocean]

Yea blipping space gets a lot more performance out of it

[hybrid nymph]

I'm gathing slugs until i get 50 power shards

[silk ocean]

Sloop the constructor to get double shards

[hybrid nymph]

really?

[silk ocean]

Yep

[hybrid nymph]

are you serious?

[silk ocean]

10 from a purple

[hybrid nymph]

that's so busted!!

I wish I had known that earlier

thanks a lot brother

[silk ocean]

np xD

[hybrid nymph]

you learn something new everyday lol

[silk ocean]

ultimately if you get the Synthetic Power Shart alt recipe later you can just manufacture them instead

Yep XD

[hybrid nymph]

how hard is that to do?

[silk ocean]

It's late game ingredients, but it comes from one of the hard drives, just have to gather and scan loads from around the world

[somber elm]

Oui oui baguette 🥖

[mild stream]

it's quite a complicated process tho... as it involves alot of fancy smancy recipies and machines that just sucks your grid dry

(tier 7 stuff)

[silk ocean]

Yea, fortunately you realistically don't have to make that many

[hybrid nymph]

question: is that big lake in the center of the map crater lake?

[silk ocean]

Crater lake is way down south east

[hybrid nymph]

Oh i see

[mild stream]

i thought blue crater for a sec 🙂

[silk ocean]

xD

[hybrid nymph]

I honestly think there is only 1 thing missing from this game

Farming

[mild stream]

ficsit farming got you covered

xd

[hybrid nymph]

I wish you could farm pale berries, nuts, and bacon mushrooms

[mild stream]

there is a mod for that

[boreal musk]

hard drive? synthetic shards is unlockable through MAM tree

[mild stream]

ficist farming 😉

[hybrid nymph]

and just have like an irrigation system and grow thousands fo them

[silk ocean]

It would be nice to automate food / inhalers

[hybrid nymph]

it really wouldn't be that hard to implement I feel like

instead of hunting and gathering it lol

[mild stream]

only way to make it work is with mods

[hybrid nymph]

oh sad...

[mild stream]

sadly (if you want to keep a full vanilla experience)

[hybrid nymph]

I haven't tried modding yet

[mild stream]

im lightly modding as in some qual mods (mostly with placement and buildables)

infite nudge and infinite zoop is a lifechanger as they don't add content to the game but makes building easier, more enjoyable and time saving

[hybrid nymph]

oh hey just got an achievement I just got a mixtape 🤗

[silk ocean]

They are a thing yea

[mild stream]

now get that boombox to play it

[silk ocean]

I should get infinite zoops

[mild stream]

would recommend 😉

[hybrid nymph]

how do you scan for crash sites?

[mild stream]

not sure you can? maybe the object scanner

[fiery lotus]

You unlock it in the MAM eventually

[hybrid nymph]

I am 4 achivements away from 100%ing the game

oh I see

[boreal musk]

quartz tree

[fiery lotus]

Quartz>Radio Signal Scanning

[hybrid nymph]

Oh okay, thanks

[stone python]

you dont 100% untill you are activly mining every single node on the map at at least 100%. GL

[hybrid nymph]

well i get that yeah, but I am just shooting for all of the achievements

[mild stream]

or get a gazillion points in the awesome sink

[hybrid nymph]

how much is that golden nut statue?

[silk ocean]

1000

[hybrid nymph]

Jesus christ...

and I have to get it for an achievement

I have no idea how you;re supposed to get that many tickets without modding the game

[silk ocean]

It's actually not as bad as it seems as you get into later game tiers

[hybrid nymph]

because plutonium fuel rods are woth a lot?

[silk ocean]

Not sure what pays best, I can never remember

Some high tier stuff is very lucrative

[mild stream]

the space elevator parts (balistic warp drive) is the one that yearns the most points

[hybrid nymph]

apparently according to Chat GPT, ballistic warp drives and nuclear pasta are the best items to sink

apparently nuclear pasta gives 543,000 points

[mild stream]

the more complicated and resource intensive parts will end up giving the most

[hybrid nymph]

i mean honestly if you can produce those in mass, I can see how you could get 1000 tickets

[stone python]

just always sink excess production and youll get the tickets eventually

[teal horizon]

will they ever add an antimatter reactor

[hybrid nymph]

I'm currently sinking all of my petrolem coke

[stone python]

and if you need to, DNA points can go a long ways to helping

[hybrid nymph]

but that's it so far

oh okay okay

I will do that

[mild stream]

it seems the antimatter reactor is located in a folder thats called "discontinued projects"

if i remember correctly

since ficsonium got inplemented instead

[prime jasper]

If i want a given ouput of petrol from 4 oils wells, and considering the oil wells have different purity, how should I balance the overcoaking/undercloaking to get maximum efficiency?

[limpid cairn]

what quality do the oil wells have

[prime jasper]

2 pures and 2 normals

[hybrid nymph]

the oil source by the beach has 3 pure, 1 impure, and 1 normal

[mild stream]

split the pure into normal nodes

[limpid cairn]

you basically have 3 pure onces, work with them

[prime jasper]

I think you don't get my message

[shy mulch]

I'm making 50 per minute to feed my alien power matrix factory

[mild stream]

you can do both so either balance the individual pipes inton 3x600 or 6x300.

[prime jasper]

Like what is the best way to use them in term of undercloaking and overcloaking? To get the right amount of petrol with MINIMUM energy consumption

[mild stream]

as the pure would output 600 fully overclocked

[silk ocean]

Fair xD

[mild stream]

what factory is this gonna be inplementet in?

[stone python]

OC them to 250%, then figure out what you need to produce from that oil between plastic, rubber, fuel, etc

[prime jasper]

in a turbofuel factory

[mild stream]

fuel? plastic? rubber? other parts?

[hybrid nymph]

if you want the most per MW, only use the pure and normal ones, the impure isn't worth it since it takes significantly more power to extract

[neon cloak]

conveyor belt mk3 is really useful when crafting biomass from wood

[shy mulch]

Don't use chatgpt for that sort of stuff, just look it up on the wiki

[neon cloak]

270 RESOURCES PER MINUTE WHAAAAA

pure magic

[mild stream]

i would recommend looking at the wiki as it has a guide that helps with each "tier" of fuel. or use an website/application such as satisfactory calculator or satisfactory modeler (available on steam)

[hybrid nymph]

True but I also like chapt GPT

[prime jasper]

But i have 2 pures and 2 normal so it doesn't change much i guess

[neon cloak]

nah it ain't enough

[hybrid nymph]

are you at the oil source by the Western beach?

Any conveyor belt lower than MK4 SUCKS

[stone python]

if you are making a turbo fuel plant, you dont even need to worry about how much power the oil rigs are pulling

you will have power to spare off 1800 oil

[violet needle]

How the hell did I wake up earlier than normal despite going to sleep at like 4:40

[prime jasper]

Yeah, but i didn't found any ressource that helps me with how balancing the wells outputs with different rarity. They just tell me how much wells for how much machines, but it doesn't help with reaching maximum efficiency in my case. Or I haven't found the tool that does it yet.

[violet needle]

Well anyway the factory must grow

[stone python]

just overclock them all to 250%, that is the most efficient use of oil

[shy mulch]

I gave it a chance, but I constantly had to remind it to only give answers relevant to the current version. It seems to have soaked up information from every version and gets them mixed up. Honestly the wiki is very good, very detailed, always accurate and very easy to search and navigate

[stone python]

regardless of rarity

[violet needle]

Today’s goal is: main factory train platform and bauxite refinement in the swamp

[prime jasper]

They will consume way more but they will often stall due to all the output not being used. Is this really worth it?

[stone python]

they wont stall if you build your factory right

[shy mulch]

!wikisearch awesome+sink

[fossil ice]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/index.php?search=awesome+sink

[prime jasper]

I would have to buid an insanly large factory to "use them right". We are speaking about several maybe 2 000 cubic meters per minute

[hybrid nymph]

Absolutely it's worth it, better to have too much than too little, plus just sore your excess in a large tank

[stone python]

1800

[mild stream]

i would recommend satisfactory modeller as you can make lets say 3 separate nodes going into your system or else it's a lot of experimenting but a sim,ple way would be seperarting the nodes into their own "block" so you would work with 3 "blocks" each block has 600 oil to work with (or however much you have)

this method can simplify the project by splitting it into smaller bits making it less of a headache working out a 1800 oil line in one big factory

[stone python]

1200+300+300

[shy mulch]

If power is a concern, make more power first

[hybrid nymph]

Thanks for the help, I just got 100 power shards

[stone python]

and OCin them to 250% is not that much more power when you are building a turbo fuel plant, it is rather minuscule

[mild stream]

i used 1200 oil for my rocketfuel production. it filled the whoel blue crater. (this is mostly the fuel gens fault)

[prime jasper]

OK i guess i should'n bother optimizing power that much considering how easy it is to generate. I could say i wanted to spare some power shard but i guess I am having enough of them too.

[stone python]

there are over 5000 slug shards in the world if you sloop them all in a constructor

[mild stream]

you could op for a quick "booster" line where you just make the fuel directly an put them into fuel gens if you are worried about the power drawn from the factory would exceed your current grid (resulting in blown fuse)

(with one of the 300 lines ofc)

[prime jasper]

I am gonna do the thing like a brute.

[hybrid nymph]

What thing? The oil?

[mild stream]

ye

[stone python]

just make sure you plan with any good alts you have access too as well for a turbo fuel plant, they can make even 1200 oil seem like a TON of power

[prime jasper]

I am basically using turbofuel (regular recipe from MAAM) and heavy turbofuel.

[mild stream]

i skipped turbo entirely (not recommended as it tanked my power grid) but rocketfuel gives 72000 for each 600 line

so 1200 rocketfuel=144k

you need 600 oil for that amount*

[neon cloak]

my pace in unlocking today is so good

[mild stream]

not 1200

[neon cloak]

logistics 3 and advanced steel production go brrrr

+blueprints

[mild stream]

the factory must grow!

[prime jasper]

If i want to turn the whole 1200 oil into turbofuel i would need to import way more sulfur

[neon cloak]

YES

[mild stream]

where do you plan building the "power plant"

[stone python]

if you use the good alts, you can turn 1200 oil into 1600 turbo fuel, which is 53,333 MW (this would be 213.3333 fuel gens by the way)

you just need these alts:
Heavy oil residue
diluted fuel
turbo blend fuel

[neon cloak]

do trees regrow in this game? i feel like the nature around me is totally not scarce

[mild stream]

foilage if i remember correctly does return after a lot of time (just not where you have building around)

[neon cloak]

good to know

solid biofuel must flourish in storages

[mild stream]

check the wiki maybe as im not 100% sure

[silk ocean]

Noice

[prime jasper]

I also need to unlock the blender i think no?

[stone python]

yes, you would need the blender to use the alts i mentioned

[hybrid nymph]

Alright, time to setup more fuel generators at oil

[stone python]

however, with different alts you can get around the belnder for turbo fuiel, though you wont get as much turbo fuel per oil

[hybrid nymph]

I'm so happy my friend gave me her save

because we were working on it together, and I can work on it when she's offline

I also finally figured out how to make multiplayer work

I have 80 hours on this save

[bronze pawn]

Set up a server and just connect to it together

[hybrid nymph]

exactly

I could do that

but my Dad doesn't want to get solar

I have 2 computers

I have an HP Prolaint M6 small business server with a clock speed of 5.2GHz and 64Gigs of RAM

[bronze pawn]

I remember when 15 years ago we played minecraft in our community. I remember logging in, and going straight to excavation and building. Half an hour of silence and then someone writes in a chat:

• look, deimos does not even say hello. He's not here to play games, he's working

[stone python]

can you afford 12 a month

[silk ocean]

I use wolverix/satisfactory docker image on my LAN Linux server, works good

[hybrid nymph]

It's just that my Dad won't let me run it because he's super cheap about the electricty bill

He won't even let me run the fucking AC, in NEVADA of all places!

[silk ocean]

Yikes xD

[hybrid nymph]

Do you know how HOT Nevada gets?

[silk ocean]

Hot

[hybrid nymph]

It can easily get 45-50C in the summer

[stone python]

if you can afford it, pay for a server. there are a lot of good choices

[silk ocean]

Certainly in like Death Valley

[bronze pawn]

How do you survive in there? I'm melting when it gets to sub 30

[silk ocean]

or is that Arizona

[stone python]

death valley is california

[silk ocean]

Oh I fail xD

[hybrid nymph]

There is a reason it's called "Phoenix" the phoenix is the bird of fire, and it's called that because it's super HOT!

when you live there it's like the world is melting

I have no clue why anyone in their right mind would live in Phoenix

[green fiber]

self-punishment

[hybrid nymph]

They must hate themselves obvisouly

[silk ocean]

Been there, everything is basically AC

[hybrid nymph]

oh and BTW did you know that in Nevada 42% of our ENTIRE ELECTRICY CONSUMPTION is used on AC!

[shy mulch]

Hottest it's ever been in my country is 33C, that's about 91F for you. It reached 28C this summer and everyone was suffering. AC doesn't really exist here

[hybrid nymph]

that's nothing dude

40C is something

[stone python]

28c

:wheeze

[hybrid nymph]

33C is nothing

[silk ocean]

It's like 22C here in the UK and even I have the AC on 16

[bronze pawn]

Europe is such a better place to live than the US. Everything above 30 is considered an anomalous heat

Not to mention, no tornados

[hybrid nymph]

Americans love their AC except my Dad

[shy mulch]

It's all relative. I'll go out in a t-shirt in minus 10 and tell you it's nothing

[dense violet]

I really don't think that would be the defining aspect of europe that makes it a better place to live

[hybrid nymph]

he's a conservative and he hates using anymore electricirty than he has to, and he REFUSES to get solar in the godadamn desert!

[bronze pawn]

It's one of the aspects.

[stone python]

ive been outside for 12 hours digging 3.5 foot holes all day in 100f weather when it was 45% humidity.

[toxic spruce]

We have open borders to

[hybrid nymph]

where it's sunny and hot 300 days a year!!

[stone python]

i always love when i see someone from the UK call 80f degrees hot.

[dense violet]

sell it to him as becoming independent from the government and big companies because they can never turn his power off

[shy mulch]

While I expect the majority here have vaguely similar political leanings, I'd express concern and restraint regarding allowing such topics to be discussed in any detail

[hybrid nymph]

that's not a bad idea actually

[green fiber]

Conclusion: stay away from subtropicals

[hybrid nymph]

Someplace I will NEVER go again is Los Angeles

[neon cloak]

what topics

[dense violet]

it's not dissimilar to selling environmentalism to conservatives and keeping water and nature 'pure' and 'untouched'

[shy mulch]

Politics

[hybrid nymph]

I HATE LA!

[neon cloak]

i feel like Russia is doing good in it

well it did approach one "subtropical" place

[dense violet]

I've only been there a bit, not my jam

[hybrid nymph]

Too crowded, too mcuh traffic, too dirty, too many homeless, too much crime, and so overrated

[dense violet]

too much concrete. Bad public transport

[green fiber]

russia went the complete opposite direction and went subpolar

[neon cloak]

General Motors

two words

[dense violet]

oh there's 'L'ibertarians and trumpers in here.

[stone python]

theres everyone of every stripe in here

[hybrid nymph]

It's not easy living with someone who voted for Trump

[green fiber]

What unites us all is the urge to increase production

[hybrid nymph]

I voted for Kamala because bernie wasn't an OPTION!

[neon cloak]

сюдааааа

[shy mulch]

I've only visited America once, went to Vegas and stayed in the Paris hotel. Felt like I'd time travelled to 1985. Very unlikely to go back

[hybrid nymph]

Bernie Sanders would have won by a LANDSLIDE IF HE RAN!!

[fiery lotus]

Ficsit can make the right decisions. Countries are unnecessary.

[neon cloak]

idk if most russians sit in russian-speaking servers of Satisfactory

[neon cloak]

neofeudalism doesnt seem that good

[green fiber]

they likely do have their own language servers
So does anyone who doesnt speak english at all

[hybrid nymph]

I'm not trusting Caterina Parks to be the defacto president of the world

[green fiber]

Shes not even CEO of FICSIT anymore

[shy mulch]

The best form of government is despotism, as long as I'm the despot

[green fiber]

by all means she could be retired or dead

[neon cloak]

man, i would like to stay in one of the hotels GTA SA referenced in Las Venturas

[hybrid nymph]

I've already seen how bad things are when a fucking billionaire is leading my country, things under her would be just as bad if not WORSE!

[neon cloak]

Las Vegas is a weird place

[stone python]

i like all the YELLING that is going on

gets my blood pumping

[hybrid nymph]

The earth would be uninhabitable under Ficsit

[shy mulch]

Which hotels? I haven't played that

[green fiber]

AUTOMATE
EXPLORE
EXPLOIT

Thanks ADA

[shy mulch]

Alright nixon, back in your jar

[neon cloak]

any thematic hotel

[hybrid nymph]

We would be living like it was the movie Avatar, coiming to alien planet to exploit their resources to try to save our dying planet

[neon cloak]

i forgot myself

[green fiber]

Funny enough Avatar 2's buildings reminded my family of Satisfactory

[split pewter]

Incorrect, you can be reassured that Ficsit will take great care of your sector and do their best to make it habitable (and make a few bucks off it too!)

[dense violet]

I mean, the whole thing was just a heavy handed metaphor of what's happened on earth xD

[silk ocean]

Sounds like standard humans (when we have that tech)

[shy mulch]

Now I want to rewatch 3 body problem

[split pewter]

its simply rinse and repeat, when that new planet gets polluted, do the same cycle!

[stone python]

im a 3 body problem, you can watch me.

[silk ocean]

Love Judgemenet Day ep xD

[split pewter]

Problem for future people!

[hybrid nymph]

Game probbly takes place in 2100 something

[shy mulch]

I've fallen for that trap before, not this time Shaniqua!

[split pewter]

no, a whole lot further down

[hybrid nymph]

well back to power slug hunting

[split pewter]

no way in 75 years we have dark matter

[shy mulch]

If you want spoilers, SCIM tells you where they all are

[shy mulch]

I don't believe in dark matter anyway

[split pewter]

or you can use the scanner thingymobob

[split pewter]

well you've seen the residue!

[neon cloak]

i wonder if FICSIT has some cool-ass planet with all the offices and city life

resembling Coruscant

[hybrid nymph]

I managed to find 51 shards and doubled them with the constructor and a somersloop

[stone python]

good thing for something to exist doesnt require ones beleif

[hybrid nymph]

so I have 102 now

[split pewter]

they'll turn massage 2-(a-b) into one of those

[shy mulch]

Not only seen it, but cleaned it. You any idea how hard it is to get dark matter residue out of a bed sheet?

[split pewter]

fair

way too sticky

[dense violet]

I mean dark matter is just a place holder name for whatever is impacting the motion of the galactic matter

[shy mulch]

Like you're scrubbing it then it just randomly changes gravity, sucks you into another universe and sends you back with your dimensions all the wrong way round

[stone python]

[neon cloak]

i've unlocked miner mk2 and i GOTTA rebuild my everything

[split pewter]

i hope we get deemed satisfactory!

[shy mulch]

Very inconvenient

[split pewter]

just upgrade

[neon cloak]

at least revisit and recalculate

[neon cloak]

oh i forgot you can do this

but how

[split pewter]

get 2 automatic miners

[gusty bronze]

they missed the boat on calling it Chaos Matter, warhammer fans would've loved it

[split pewter]

use the miner mk2 schematic

upgrade it

you'll get 1 automatic miner in return and iirc theres no way to not get it

which is lame

[shy mulch]

Exactly. It's a mathematical tool to make our models work. But I think it's more likely our models are just wrong

[gusty bronze]

theres literally observational evidence that they aren't wrong

[split pewter]

does anyone know what year satisfactory does take place in?

theres gotta be a calender somewhere

[dense violet]

I mean, it'd have to be a core misunderstanding of gravity that is readily observed here too

[shy mulch]

Observations that are built on assumptions about the nature of spacetime. What if all of it is wrong

[green fiber]

if you wanna know more about what dark matter in satifactory could be, check the wiki page
we DO list sources as trivia

!wikisearch dark+matter+residue

[fossil ice]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/index.php?search=dark+matter+residue

[split pewter]

thought there was a command for that, just couldnt remember

[shy mulch]

That's entirely plausible to me

[split pewter]

cant it be used for ionized fuel with an alt?

[gusty bronze]

there is "something" effecting the gravitational pull of parts of the galaxy and is pretty prevalent and in varying densities, something must exist

[split pewter]

replying to a bot expecting an answer 😔

[green fiber]

Dark Ion fuel

[split pewter]

so yes

[green fiber]

but that needs the crystallized from

[split pewter]

basically the plutonium for dark matter residue (but no power being made)

[gusty bronze]

chatgpt, copilot, gemeni, etc 😄

[green fiber]

dark matter is technically just "liquid gravity" but its not a liquid... or maybe it is

[split pewter]

its a bot that replies to wiki searches too 😭

[green fiber]

its not a chatbot

[split pewter]

im not quite sure what form it would take, mind-bending because nobody quite knows what it looks like

[green fiber]

its a command bot

[green fiber]

because you literally cannot see it. thats the "dark" in dark matter

[shy mulch]

I accept that. But I still can't shake the notion that we are making assumptions that it must be some kind of matter or energy, rather than a flaw in our understanding of what gravity is and the nature of spacetime

[gusty bronze]

saw a recent article in the list of "what it might be" saying that it's string energy on a massive scale on a different vibration, but then again it could be tacos flying through space for all we know

[split pewter]

fair but what about the unrealistic game satisfactory is

[split pewter]

i wouldnt mind tacos flying through space

unless they explode on contact

[green fiber]

i can only assume our DM is dark matter still mixed with excited photonic matter

[split pewter]

yeah

[green fiber]

thats why theres any light at all

[gusty bronze]

tacos in space would indeed explode on contact with our atmosphere, they don't have the structual integrity to survive air impact

[split pewter]

isnt it made with sam?

[green fiber]

as an alt

[split pewter]

no like just touching it

[split pewter]

ah

[shy mulch]

Tacos are unnecessarily annoying to eat. Give me the same ingredients but arrange them on a plate

[green fiber]

usually, its made when the quantum encoder does its lightweaving magic

[split pewter]

i agree

especially bigger ones

[gusty bronze]

now if you want to talk about REALLY annoying misunderstandings of science, lets go on about quantum teleportation, which is not teleportation

[green fiber]

its closer to "faxing" iirc

[split pewter]

it might just be you getting deatomized and reatomized

[shy mulch]

That's just 4d photocopying

[gusty bronze]

hoenstly love this lol

[split pewter]

portal takes an exact copy, deatomizes you, reatomizes that copy in another place, and then that copy becomes "you"
