satisfactory

[boreal musk]

diluted copper powder, save copper with ton shit of water

instead of 300 copper for 50 powder, now you can get 50 powder with 200 copper and 600 water

[ripe basin]

With 1200 water/min

Sorry didnt really think what i was typing

That happens

[boreal musk]

1200/min only possible with blender

this one should be in refinery for maximum pain

[ripe basin]

Yay i made my 1.875 Scomputers/min

[ripe basin]

And i dont care that it looks like a mess

Wdym

[peak wasp]

Hahahahaha it's like machine city but with conveyor belts 😭

Hive city in satisfactory

[shy mulch]

After using straight belts forever, I've decided I actually now like curved mode

[peak umbra]

Is there a way to connect to a dedicated server via server manager using gamepad? I don't see a way to press Join button in the bottom right corner of a server manager, which leads to me having to switch controls to mouse and keyboard, connect to a server and switch back to gamepad, which is annoying.

[sterile blade]

Just wait until you try sushi mode

[boreal musk]

until straight belt not being straight after you placed them angled

[silk ocean]

Not sure but to me I would imagine it's more annoying to try and do it with a gamepad than connecting a keyb xD

[shy mulch]

Keyboards are life
Gamepads are strife

[peak umbra]

Understandable albeit it is hardly convenient to play the game on TV with keyboard and mouse controls only

[silk ocean]

Yea fair, just as far as typing stuff a keyboard on hand seems like a worthy addition

[idle owl]

pluh

[silk ocean]

You can get those keyboard/mouse trays you put on your lap

[idle owl]

or a desk

[peak umbra]

I was hoping there is an easier way to connect to a satisfactory server 😉

[silk ocean]

How do you type with a gamepad?

Virtual keyboard?

[peak umbra]

I do not usually have to type anything into a game or anything else. But when I do, I use a wireless keyboard indeed

To type a couple of words and then retreat back to using gamepad

I mean like how often does this game require you to type words in it?

[silk ocean]

Guess that's the solution

[peak umbra]

That's not a soultion; it is a workaround

[silk ocean]

Rarely, maybe more if multiplayer I guess

Workaround/solution tomato/tomato

Either way if you can't type with the gamepad then it's a permanent workaround? xD

[peak umbra]

Why would I need to type anything with a gamepad in order to connect to an already saved server in a server manager?

[silk ocean]

I was assuming you were needing to type in the hostname / IP address

[peak umbra]

I see

[silk ocean]

Can you not just hit the Join button if it's already in your list?

[peak umbra]

No, actually the problem is that there is no way to press join button with a gamepad, however I can do anything else with it

[silk ocean]

Hmm

[peak umbra]

Wait a sec, I have seen this issue described somewhere

https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/67eee3276b7c5731963634db

Yes, that's it

[silk ocean]

I guess it's K&M time according to that thread

[peak umbra]

Perhaps I'm just wording it wrong

[peak umbra]

Ah yes, König & Meyer time 😄

[silk ocean]

xD

Sounds like a minor issue with the UI that hopefully will get fixed in future

[peak umbra]

Yeah, everyone suggests that as a workaround

[silk ocean]

With the console release coming in November maybe that will get looked at beforehand

[peak umbra]

K&M is the only way actually

[silk ocean]

Although I'm guessing consoles won't have a server manager like PC but I might be wrong

[shy mulch]

I type words all the time

[peak umbra]

hope so!

[peak umbra]

Yeah, that would be crazy if it were so

[silk ocean]

Yea to be fair I do type a lot in the game - always typing into N box

Searching for recipes etc

Doing math

[peak umbra]

I see

[silk ocean]

So convenient to just hit N and start typing, hit enter on the matching result

You can pull up the codex for basically anything within seconds

[peak umbra]

Good for you

[silk ocean]

It is good for me yes, that is correct xD

[shy mulch]

yeah I do the same, use it all the time, also when filtering vehicles, I have hundreds of trains and drones, if I want to find/modify a particular one I can search the name of it on the filter

[vivid basin]

hi there, i don't know if this is the right place, but after the latest update if i enter my main world in satisfactory the game crashes after some seconds, i verified files, loaded an older save but nothing seems to work, what could i do?

[peak wasp]

feels good cleaning up spaghetti/quick builds to more organised modular factories 🙂

[silk ocean]

Logitech do an affordable little bluetooth keyboard, wireless, 2 x AA batteries, convenient to have at the sofa

[silk ocean]

Might be worth a #1038092680493801533 and posting the crash report

[peak umbra]

I'm using Logitech MX Keys S

[vivid basin]

oh, i just saw it haha, thanks

[silk ocean]

Oh yeah that's an even much better one

Do you need a mouse, can you tab to the join button and hit enter?

I need to load the game and test this theory XD

No seems to be the answer XD

Infact you can't really do anything on the menu system using the keyboard

[leaden turret]

June 17th, 2025
Q&A: Will Console players be unable to use Dedicated Servers?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obXiQVX0oS0

nope

[peak umbra]

The game won't let you use K&M when you are in a gamepad mode

[leaden turret]

<@&370483737957236737> getting the asmr tingles in anticipation of future dev streams from the stream bg music in that clip

[silk ocean]

Oh, didn't know that either

It seems you either need a gamepad, or a mouse to navigate the menu system, it doesn't seem to respond to any keys I press

[sturdy gate]

On a scale of ImKibits to Let’sGameItOut how organized are your factories 🏭

I’m definitely in the Letsgameitout side

My factory is cooked

[silk ocean]

Probably leaning towards Kibitz but not totally there

[sturdy gate]

can I lick it

[unkempt blade]

I don't really youtube so which option means I'm organized but use way too many vehicles?

[silk ocean]

Your tongue might stick to it like ice

[silk ocean]

Kibitz xD

Then again LetsGameItOut sometimes uses a lot of vehicles cough cough drones video

[sturdy gate]

I have a mess of belts covering my base like a blanket

[unkempt blade]

I think we need a multiaxis question to split out vehicles from organization then

[regal lantern]

I'm building a blanket of conveyers for packaging water and moving it for coal power and soon, aluminium

I can't think of anything else that'll need water much other than acids

But soon, I'll need them too

[sturdy gate]

Mmmmmm yummy uranium hehehe it tickles

[unkempt blade]

diluted fuel, nuclear power

[regal lantern]

It's up to 48 belts so far

Don't need dilated fuel, I've got about 5 containers full of ionised fuel for jetpack use and no other vehicles

And I've already got a shedload of nukes

[sturdy gate]

Radiation is fun

[regal lantern]

Does radiation spread forever?

Or does it just reach a point where the spread slows

[unkempt blade]

careful, I got bitten by a radioactive factory cart and it's largely why I am who I am today

[silk ocean]

Same as RL basically, it radiation only exists if there is a source of it present

[regal lantern]

Since I've got several thousand plutonium waste sitting in a train station at the moment

[sturdy gate]

I’m going to build like 20 industrial storage containers and just stuff all my nuclear waste into it and forgetting about it

[unkempt blade]

you should load it onto trains and have the trains drive in big circles so the radiation visits you occasionally

[silk ocean]

You can process the waste these days, at least uranium waste

[regal lantern]

I have one rain line, there are 5 trains. They stop and collect a random amount of waste each time they pass a station

It goes round the edge of the map

[unkempt blade]

plutonium waste goes into ficsonium if you want to go no-waste but some of the community doesn't really like the power efficiency for ficsonium

[sturdy gate]

🚂 🚊 🚆

[silk ocean]

Yea it's also a small mission to make Fisconium

[regal lantern]

I did wastetrain a while ago, just to get the achievement since I've gone 400 hours without actually using trains for their intended purposes

[sturdy gate]

Looooong train

[silk ocean]

and by small mission I mean not a very small mission XD

[leaden turret]

gonna struggle going uphill that one

[regal lantern]

I liked doing Ficsonium, also to have a wasteless nuke setup without sinking things

[silk ocean]

It's probably the next thing I should work on xD

[regal lantern]

I guess it'd be worth it more if the fuel would produce more power than Uranium or Plutonium fuel rods

I can't remember my numbers exactly either but most of my power comes from the Uranium and everything after is just processing the waste

[sturdy gate]

Not loooooooooooong enough

[fresh onyx]

hey yall is there a vc in this server

[leaden turret]

nope

[silk ocean]

Same power just lasts a lot longer?

[fresh onyx]

thats rough

[sturdy gate]

Much better

[fresh onyx]

Do yall know any other satisfactory based servers that have vcs

[silk ocean]

Needs a lot more engines xD

[regal lantern]

I have more uranium fuel rods being produced and more power plants burning them

So the majority of the power from my setup is uranium

[silk ocean]

Yea I'm entirely uranium atm but I am starting to gear up for plutonium and then fisconium

[regal lantern]

I did all three at once, it was not fun trying to turn it on with low power

[silk ocean]

I'm making the Plutonium Rods from the reprocessing but I'm not buring them yet, sinking them because once burned... stuck with the waste until sorting out the Fisconium

[sturdy gate]

THEY DONT HAVE A NUKE NOBLESK EMOJI 😭😭😭😭

[silk ocean]

Yea I dred the thought of low power

[silk ocean]

Crisis!

[fresh onyx]

what phase are yall on

[sturdy gate]

Working on 4

[fresh onyx]

Damn I just got to 2

[silk ocean]

"End game" on this factory

[regal lantern]

Once it's all up and running, you'll have more power than you can ever use. I don't know how many insane cannon contraptions I can produce to suck up all this energy

[fresh onyx]

Built my first reinforced iron plates factory and now its useless cuz i got to phase 2

[regal lantern]

I might even build a large tube round the edge of the map and see how fast I can accelerate to before the game crashes or something fun happens

[silk ocean]

I'm currently only using about 120 GW, producing 310 GW xD

[regal lantern]

I'm up to TW levels because of my massive nuclear setup

Using about 300GW or something

[silk ocean]

If anything I should work on actually consuming more power rather than building more powerplants XD

[fresh onyx]

JEEZ

[regal lantern]

I just did the setup so I wouldn't need to worry about power again

Just the looming fear that I've made some mistake that'll take a few hundred hours to cause it to all break

Hence converting my original coal setups into something massive for a backup

[silk ocean]

Build a large factory kickstart building with like 50,000MWh energy storage with a switch to connect it to the network if you have an emergency xD

[regal lantern]

Enough to comfortably restart the nuclear should it experience catastrophic failure

[silk ocean]

Charge it up and then disconnect it from the network

[regal lantern]

I probably should but I'm just gonna make massive coal as a backup for now

[fresh onyx]

Dude i made a reinforced iron plate farm to make my 50 smart plates and now i have to automate smart plates and i need 1000

[bitter coral]

Yo does anyone know of a command in the debug menu that makes the world border visible?

[regal lantern]

Just wait another phase or two for some more exciting automations and bottlenecks

[fresh onyx]

what kind of bottlenecks

[regal lantern]

Slow manufacturers

[silk ocean]

Not sure about the console but you can display it on the SCIM map if you load your save into there

[fresh onyx]

idk what that is ill probably have a heart attack when i find out about it thanks

[bitter coral]

Yeah unfortunately I need to be able to see it in game (basically trying to map out where it is with walls and just running until I start dying hasn't been the greatest strategy)

[regal lantern]

I built a platform around it by just getting up to the edge and then following it round, healing items help

Takes a long while to do

[silk ocean]

Can't find anything much googling it

[bitter coral]

Yeah probably what I'll end up doing just checking if I could find a quicker way

[bitter coral]

yeah same. Thanks for checking tho

[rose tulip]

anyone ever notice how the corner of heavy modular frames are messed up

#screenshots

[shadow torrent]

Those fucking spiders, i want a flamethrower ...

Or a rapid fire plasmacannon.

[regal lantern]

Just wait until you get nuclear nobelisks and a jetpack

Tends to be a fun way of dealing with them

[shadow torrent]

Too slow when they are on my heels all of a sudden.

[regal lantern]

Hence the jetpacking

[shadow torrent]

The other problem is the collateral damage. I try not to blow up flora, for the most part (except the swamp, to hell with the swamp).

[restive knot]

Is there a way to automatically place t2 power poles when using the wire or do I have to place the poles first?

[regal lantern]

If you place a pole first and then anything you connect from it will automatically be the same pole type

[near frost]

when do u consider yourself good enough to say super computer like IMkibitz

i say 3 words that use every single item in the world

[exotic pilot]

how much nuclear plants use plutonium fuel rods

[regal lantern]

Nuclear plants will use whatever Uranium/Plutonium/Ficsonium fuel rods that are put in them

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Nuclear_Power_Plant

[coral glacier]

Nuclear Reactors use either Uranium/Plutonium/Ficsonium

[regal lantern]

They burn different fuels at different rates, this wiki page has numbers

[exotic pilot]

k

[coral glacier]

With plutonium being burned twice as slow as uranium.

:P

[exotic pilot]

w

that means i need 8 nuclear power plants for plutonium

[regal lantern]

Depends how many fuel rods you're making and how much uranium waste you produce

[exotic pilot]

i produce 80 waste/min

so i make 0.8 plutonium rods/min

[shadow torrent]

You can sink plutonium fuel rods to get rid of them.

[sweet tusk]

There's no way to zoop in two dimensions with foundations, is there? Without mods

[steady glade]

not really, you can make a blueprint to accelerate it a bit

[sweet tusk]

That's what I was thinking I might do. I just don't know if zooping 10 in a line would be faster or however many I can fit in a mk.1 blueprint.

[steady glade]

its a 4x4 so you can make 16 or 32 in 2 clicks

the time it takes to spawn them in makes it a bit dangerous to blindly run on but it is faster than just zoops for making a large platform

[green beacon]

My Game is so bugged rightnow ! I make a Blueprint and than when i try to place it nothing shows and when i try to load it in the Blueprint Designer again it says the File is missing

i added Blueprints from a Other World too but those wouldn't show up in the menu ether.

[boreal musk]

have u tried save and load the game?

[green beacon]

yes

i saved the game and restarted the BPs are still in the folder but they don't show up

i use a Bigger BP Designer Mod but when i tested it. it Worked completly fine(The Mod uses the vanilla Code from SF)

[atomic notch]

There was a patch recently was the mod updated?

[green beacon]

what does a Yellow name mean ?

[gusty bronze]

real satisfactory players don't play with mods, or ui's, or applications, we open our map files in a hex editor and play that way

[green beacon]

stfu

[silk ocean]

May as well not play with a monitor or graphics card at that rate.. build the entire factory using the keyboard xD

[gusty bronze]

rather rude and rule violating first thing in the morning

[gusty bronze]

I'm melting the sand down right now to assemble the bits to create my factory

[green beacon]

i have a issue and you try to make me say stuff like that to you so don't thing i would hold back after such an stupid response

[atomic notch]

Bros mad

[green beacon]

of course i am

[gusty bronze]

so word salad, but obvious you have some emotional issues going on, try some breathing or something?

[atomic notch]

He needs bigger blueprint designers

[green beacon]

750hours in this game and still finding new bugs

[atomic notch]

Eh

I think ur looking too hard

Also isnt it modded?

L take

[gusty bronze]

mods are the modders problem, not the coffee stains problem, they aren't supported

[edgy python]

Has anyone else experienced a glitch where randomly their conveyer belts stop working

[gusty bronze]

you can always tell steam to not push patches automatically

[regal lantern]

If you're having issues with blueprints and you have a blueprint mod, try removing the mod and see if your issue goes away

If it does, mod issue and go yell at the mod creator

[green beacon]

yes but the mod isn't causing the Problem since i used the vanilla Blueprint designer and the mod is using the vanilla code.

[edgy python]

My coal powerplants conveyer belts randomly stopped working even though they were working fine before I have no mods installed

[regal lantern]

Remove the mod and see if you have the issue

[gusty bronze]

I've only had 1 bug since 1.0 in 4 worlds start to finish and thats the MP stuff acting goofy on the map sometimes

[regal lantern]

If you don't have the issue without the mod, the issue is the mod

[green beacon]

WOW DO YOU THINK I HAVEN'T TRIED THAT BEFOR ?

[atomic notch]

Dude chill tf out

[regal lantern]

No, because you've not stated that you have in the bit above

[gusty bronze]

he just wants to vent, not solutions XD could've said that from the start

[steady glade]

[craggy oar]

Bro u need a chill pill

[green beacon]

i think i know what i did and what not ;D

[regal lantern]

Great, did it help at all?

[void gorge]

I swear I'm not making up that I hear when people lose their caps lock key

[gusty bronze]

step 1) uninstall all mods
step 2) repeat steps that caused bug
bug still exists? report to coffee using reporting features with save and blueprints having issues
bug not exists? it was a mod
step 3) profit!

[gusty bronze]

cobol developers

[regal lantern]

GOTO

Or is it GO TO

Been a while since I had to go back 70 years and experience cobol

[silk ocean]

Fun fact - I disabled my caps lock key in steelseries config, never use the thing and if I do it's by accident XD

[gusty bronze]

nah, all cobol developers know you use perform thru on all statements 😄

cause screw not having spaghetti code

[regal lantern]

The cobol I dealt with was all GO TO

[green beacon]

step 2) repeat steps that caused bug:
start the game load the world bug is their nice step ;D

[gusty bronze]

you obviously don't want help lol

[regal lantern]

Can I have some help?

[craggy oar]

U didn’t read all off step two then 🤣

[regal lantern]

I think I need it since I'm packaging up 59600 water to move cross map to unpackage it elsewhere

[gusty bronze]

no, cause you aren't venting in chat with capslock XD

[regal lantern]

If I make my shitpost again in caps, will it be worthy?

[gusty bronze]

yes

[regal lantern]

I THINK I NEED IT SINCE I'M PACKAGING UP 59600 WATER TO MOVE IT CROSS MAP TO UNPACKAGE IT ELSEWHERE

[gusty bronze]

but yeah sounds like a design issue maybe? don't have your map so don't know, I usually build ores to the water, not the other way

[regal lantern]

Thanks Professor

[atomic notch]

Hey man chill tf out

[gusty bronze]

XD

[regal lantern]

It's an insanity thing, I hate liquids

[atomic notch]

Yeah

[regal lantern]

So rather than moving the solids to the liquids, I package the liquids and treat them like solids

[gusty bronze]

oh yay wife wants to take me outn to breakfast, later gators 😄

[regal lantern]

And bring them to the other solids, way in the sky

[silk ocean]

CHILLAX BRO™

[atomic notch]

Im just gonna pull some from the cliff nearby

[keen crane]

MY FACTORY IS SO MESSY AND IM PRODUCING EVERYTHING SO SLOW I MIGHT HAVE TO AFK FOR A DAY JUST TO GET THE THINGS I NEED TO MAKE A NEW FACTORY THAT IS MORE EFFICIENT

[regal lantern]

SOUNDS NORMAL!

[atomic notch]

Woah dude

Chill out

[keen crane]

i am i just have to capslock my problems

[silk ocean]

You typed all that without noticing you had CAPS lock on? xD

[shadow torrent]

Why, though?

[atomic notch]

I think were just mocking some other guy

[regal lantern]

I hate liquids, this lets me get back at them by treating them as solids

[keen crane]

i have 14 hours on this save and i just got to phase 3, yay me

[cyan valve]

hello newbie here. can I ask factory problems on this thread?

[silk ocean]

Yep xD

[regal lantern]

I'm just extending Caligula's orders to Satisfactory

[shadow torrent]

I think you would have less issues if you used trains.

[steady glade]

you're supposed to caps lock your issues, solves all your problems

[silk ocean]

Bold+Caps = MegaShout ?

[keen crane]

for instance i now know the solution to my efficiency problem (stand still for 6 hours)

[regal lantern]

I have a train, it moves random amounts of plutonium waste around the edge of the map. Everything else is belts

[regal lantern]

RESPECT THE FORMATTING

[shadow torrent]

Nevermind that a box car can carry twice the amount of packaged liquits than a tank car ...

[regal lantern]

Yeah, I don't like trains either

I respect them, I see the use. I'm just too deep into BELTING EVERYTHING

[keen crane]

i set up a few trains usually just cause i like seeing them go around

[astral gyro]

Last night I started using power shards and sommersloops

[regal lantern]

So I made a traintrack round the edge of the map, put a train on it and let it run

Just for the steam achievement

[steady glade]

kidding, go ahead, its fine for newbies to post here since early issues quickly get resolved, complex questions like mid/late game stuff often go in #math-and-meta , and stuff that wont work properly goes in #1038092680493801533 to centralize pics

[astral gyro]

Ive been using trucks for fun

[shy mulch]

Quick question. If I transport my caps lock keys via train, do I get better throughput. Currently I'm only able to shout a few times per day

[regal lantern]

You'll get 66.66667% more shouting today but it might attract too much attention

[gusty bronze]

With italics and underlines and blackjack

[shy mulch]

Thanks for the advice!

[cyan valve]

I have an 8 coal generator setup with 3 water extractors. my problem is that only 1 extractor seems to be doing all the work. is it something have to do with my pipes? should they need to be equal in distance from the generators?

[regal lantern]

Post a picture so we can see the setup

[steady glade]

have 1 pipe connect at each end of the line, and the 3rd in the middle

[silk ocean]

Ubershout

[fluid sapphire]

this one is best posted in #1038092680493801533

[shy mulch]

Distance is not really important, but think more about the throughput of each pipe

[shy mulch]

Don't forget you sloop your shouting

[gusty bronze]

M-m-m-mega shout about shout

[silk ocean]

DoubleUberShout

[regal lantern]

All this shouting is putting a disturbed song in my head

[silk ocean]

Echo....Echo....

[cyan valve]

i have posted now. thank you

[green beacon]

removed all mods as you wanted and the Problem is still there even after deleting the BP folder for that world and creating a new one by making a new BP after opening the folder it's still empty and when Building it only shows me the cost but no Buildings.

[shy mulch]

I'd get banned if I wrote the song I'm singing in my head right now 😂😂

[regal lantern]

Great, raise a bug then

[coarse epoch]

does anyone know why they made iodine infused filters protect against gas in update 5 then reverted the change in update 6? I find it annoying to have to maintain 2 slot of inventory, one for each type of filter?

[astral gyro]

Btw is it normal that the first item in a slooped machine doesnt get doubled?

[gusty bronze]

At that point you've do e all you can do really, so zip up the save and send to coffee with description, they fix things pretty quick

[coarse epoch]

You: Down with the sickness!
Mods: BANNED

[astral gyro]

Well the specific part only on the explicit version

That probably would get you banned

[green beacon]

To be onest this game makes me go Crazy i allways stop playing while building my Nuclear powerplant and start a new save because i dislike the previous and now while just starting the game after 3.5h makes me want to delete it again with this stupid bug.

[atomic notch]

dude honestly you would hate it less if you stopped restarting and focused on just making your current world better

[uncut trail]

is heat exchanger alt recipe good? i seem to be falling short on aluminum sheets

[shy mulch]

There are ways to resolve issues, and to avoid them in the first place. But you seem more intent on just shouting into the void rather than getting a resolution. When you act like that people are less likely to want to help you

[crystal siren]

is there a fix for train tracks sometimes not letting you use the hoverpack?

[coarse epoch]

what times?

[silk ocean]

I find you just have to go back a bit until the tracks give power, but it can be a bit hit and miss

[coarse epoch]

the only time I've experienced that is the blip right as you connect a new station

[crystal siren]

well I am standing near a power pole and fly towards the train tracks and they don't let me hover

reequipping the hoverpack does nothing

[silk ocean]

Tracks definitely powered?

[crystal siren]

when I run back the tracks for like 100m they let me fly again until I get to the end. But I'm standing right beside them

[green beacon]

there is no resolution for this bug since the World seems to be corrupted so i just stop playing (my other worlds still work so it has to be a corupted world file or something like that

[crystal siren]

already rebuilt the last few train track parts, no change

[dense cave]

guys how do i just get rid of water from alumina

bottle it then sink?

[regal lantern]

Reuse it in your aluminium setup or alternatively package it up and sink it

[silk ocean]

Hmm, unless there is some glitch how the last segments are connected, not entirely sure, maybe try rebuilding that last 100m

[dense cave]

ah ok

[green beacon]

you could combind all output to one water pipe which you than link to completly different refinerys(with you aluminum recipe) over and over again till you have a small amount of overflow left which you craft into wet concrete

[coarse epoch]

it depends on which recipes you're using

[coarse epoch]

also, here's a diagram greeny showed me yesterday:

[dense cave]

yuh?

[coarse epoch]

sorry for some reason I just can't paste the picture in no matter what I'm doing, lol

one sec

[dense cave]

paste in media channel?

[coarse epoch]

#1412550951176503388 message

try that

[dense cave]

errr so still recycling it, but powering a whole new refiner

i kinda see

wth how the hell did i just loaded 60 ammo into my rifle

with normal ammunition

[uncut trail]

is there a way to bottleneck belts?

[green beacon]

making the byproduct water flow back into the input of the same Refinery can couse problems when the factory isn't constandly working on it's limits(you have production of 1000 Aluminium solution but you only need 100) when one Refinery is used all the time and the other Refinery aren't needed the Pipe will fill and the ByProduct can'T go out of the machines

[leaden turret]

afaik, only by getting creative with belts of different speeds

[uncut trail]

like from 780 a min to 750

[leaden turret]

consumption on the receiving end will effectively bottleneck the belt as well

[uncut trail]

i guess i gotta bottleneck miners

[green beacon]

make a splitter and a priority merger behind it make the splitter go into the priority Merger than you can make it go down to 20p/min or with a second down to 6.667p/min (when using Mk.1 belts)

[leaden turret]

run a belt into a splitter with mk.1 on one side & mk.5 on the other (so you have 60 and 720), split the mk.1 in two so you have 30, 30, and 720, then merge one of the 30 lines with the 720 line to get 750.

🌈 math 🌈

[reef basin]

Reuse in the setup

Peak efficiency really got me on the iron plates this time. Been relying on early game production this whole time lol

Like 20 a minute

make the refinery always work 100% and sink the overflow

[green beacon]

but than you need more power since you produce stuff you don't need at the moment just to sink it

[shy mulch]

if power is that tight, then you have more problems 😛

[topaz shale]

Looks like save scumming for a specific alt is causing the game to crash every now and again.

[shy mulch]

Why savescum? If you want to go to those lengths to get a specific alt, just go to SCIM and edit the alt into your save

[regal lantern]

You can always leave bad alts unpicked and they won't turn up on other hard drives once scanned until you do pick them

[topaz shale]

True but I also would like to stay "legit" At least as far as using a hard drive for an alt. I already used up a ton of them to get the one I want.

[regal lantern]

Hold bad alts and scan more drives then

Since you won't get the alt again until you actually choose it

[white dawn]

I know it's a matter of internal perspective, but IMO a quick save edit isn't any less "legit" than savescumming. Can also remove a drive from your inventory if you don't want to have "too many" (though there's already more drives on the map than you can use, so you'd have spares on a fully-"legit" play as well)

(That said, also the game shouldn't be crashing in general, but that'd be one way to avoid it, at least)

[shy mulch]

Yeah I agree. Everyone has their own view of what is "legit" and what isn't. But for me I think it's a very fine line between those two particular types of action

[leaden turret]

I used a save editor to:

• put a reference foundation precisely where I want it to mod-free
• move over half a kilometer of factory 8m north when I missed a spacing foundation
• move a bunch of placeholder floors up/down a bunch when I already placed my signs and realised I missed a floor / added too many floors

I don't consider that cheating.

[topaz shale]

I already know about that. Just trying to save some time but with the amount of scumming I'm having to do, I'll probably either just get more hard drives or scim.

[topaz shale]

And that's fine but getting an alt outside of the game just feels cheaty to me.

[leaden turret]

if you gonna cheat, cheat in a way that doesn't waste your time, unless you need an excuse to take a poop break.

[topaz shale]

That's fair.

[green beacon]

wasting power is stupid a big alluminum plant which isn't used much since you just started in the Phase 4 could need up too 10 or 20k Power or even more. or would you tell a car manufacturer just sink all Cars which doesn't get bought every minute and rebuild them out of your infinite resource node just to waste the energy you used on the existing cars ? ;D

[white dawn]

Sure, if this car manufacturer also existed in a world with infinite resources and zero pollution. :)

[gusty bronze]

IMHO cheating only matters in multi-player games when it effects other players, otherwise I don't care what someone does with their own time

[white dawn]

Nothing wrong with playing tight with power, of course, but personally I'd never want to be in a position where taking stuff out of storage (or whatever) suddenly activates enough previously-idle parts of the factory to trip my grid. I always "overbuild" on power about as much as I can stand to, at every stage. :)

[shy mulch]

I prefer to go way overboard on power so I just never need to think about it, the concept of "wasting" power is alien to me, I'd really struggle to use even half the power I'm generating

[regal lantern]

I don't think I've come across an SF player who doesn't go way over capacity on power

It'd probably be very challenging to make a run where you don't

Especially when you get towards things like Nuclear Pasta

[gusty bronze]

I never use nuclear power and still overkill on turbo fuel

And considering I won't have direct access to water with my current save, I for sure won't be using it

[hard ivy]

my production is always above max consumption

[regal lantern]

I've never done turbofuel generators

I just make regular fuel burners to deal with heavy oil residue then nothing until nuclear

[astral gyro]

The only time mine may not be is when im building and turning on my new gens, the filling up process may get it to be above my current consumption but not for long

[regal lantern]

I've only had one occasion when my consumption was above my production and that was when I went for my largest nuclear setup

Would not recommend

[gusty bronze]

Turbo fuel is pretty insane and comparable to nucleur with a much smaller setup

[astral gyro]

I just build a few power storage before I start building new gens, then if it does go over I have that backup, but im not at the scale yall are yet im only making like 5k mw

[hard ivy]

I think you mean rocket. turbo is pretty meh

[gusty bronze]

Yes rocket, brain hasn't booted yet 🙂

[regal lantern]

I've never stopped long enough and done turbofuel for anything other than jetpack. I generally end up with too much coal and normal fuel on the way up and then only scaling lategame power with nukes

I've always felt fuel alternatives are a bit of a sideline I can't be bothered with

[gusty bronze]

I'm usually short on coal, sulpher and quartz end game

[regal lantern]

I am not... yet...

[boreal musk]

i used mods like no time research and auto collect foliages to save a lot of time

[gusty bronze]

What about a mod to make my parents say they are proud of me?

[boreal musk]

learn c++ and make one

[astral gyro]

Fair and valid, but also cheating in single player isnt playing the game as the dev intended and CAN (not always) affect the enjoyment of the game as the developer intended

[near frost]

What did u go with Nuclear or rocket fuel?

[upper gale]

That sounds about right for me too

[gusty bronze]

True, but that's a player problem if they mod the fun out of the game for themselves. I ain't gonna tell them what to do.

[astral gyro]

I also think there is a difference between first playthrough and second or third modding

[shy mulch]

sam is first thing I run out of

[gusty bronze]

I use Sam as a multiplier outside of one pure node for sam things, so having or not has never really been much of an issue

[shy mulch]

what do you mean as a multiplier?

making dark matter crystals ends up burning through the SAM supply pretty quick

[gusty bronze]

There's only so many dark matter crystals you need and I don't recall using Sam for it

And you can use same to convert / increase resources for other nodes

[shy mulch]

I need lots of DMC
How do you make it without SAM? I can't find any way to make them without SAM being involved

[gusty bronze]

Had to look at an old save, I piped the stuff in from half a map away lol

[hard ivy]

you can make DMCs without SAM

[shy mulch]

That's one way to do it haha. But still need SAM regardless, wherever it comes from

[shy mulch]

How?

[narrow cedar]

Is heavy oil residue a good alternate recipe?

[shy mulch]

if you need heavy oil residue, then yes

[hard ivy]

power shards and superposition oscillators are net positive on DMR - they use less than they produce (if you use dark matter trap for the DMCs)

[gusty bronze]

But there is a path using super computers where you don't need sam

Dark matter is the byproduct of several things so once you are primed you actually need very little

[hard ivy]

NQPs and AESs are also included in that list iirc, but they take Ficsite, so it's not SAM-less

[gusty bronze]

I remember it actually killing my machines cause I had nowhere to use it

[shy mulch]

Hmmm handy to consider, thanks

[gusty bronze]

The power shards though, you need a sink for them, you will produce way more than you will ever use

[hard ivy]

do keep in mind that shards can't be sunk and have to be turned into ionized fuel and either burned or packaged and sunk to get rid of them

though unlike oscillators, they don't take bauxite, so that might make them a better choice

[green summit]

is freigth station output the same as the input in the other station? (as long as its not like more than the train can handle)

[gusty bronze]

Dark matter trap is also a multiplier recipe if you have access to lots of time crystals

[hard ivy]

trains don't delete items. of course it is

[shy mulch]

I'm already producing a lot of shards which are used in my APM plant, the shard production is balanced perfectly SAM neutral, uses exactly the same as it creates

[green summit]

yeah i just maybe the train is like too slow or idk i didnt really wanna think hard about it

[green summit]

so thanks

[gusty bronze]

In theory with recent changes you could just keep building trains and launching the power shards in to the void

[hard ivy]

the trains aren't deleted, so no, that'll just lag your game

[shy mulch]

Forgot you can use them to make ionized fuel, I'm currently making something like 7k rocket fuel /min so any spare shards can just get chucked over there

[silk ocean]

I remember in maybe U7 or U8 a train somehow launched itself into the ocean and I couldn't delete it XD

[gusty bronze]

Void stuff still isn't fixed?

[hard ivy]

you have to re-rail it first

[shy mulch]

I was reading today that you don't take boundary damage while inside a vehicle. Can you build rail tracks outside the boundary and drive a train around outside the map? Hmmmm

[silk ocean]

I could never find it I seem to recall

It was way to the edge of the map

[shy mulch]

Or drive an explorer outside the map, I suppose?

[silk ocean]

If you can build the rail without dying xD

[shy mulch]

Easily done if you keep within 100m of the boundary

[silk ocean]

Yep

[shy mulch]

I suppose an explorer is the easier optiopn

[hard ivy]

stuff doesn't get deleted when when OOB. never did and probably never will

[shy mulch]

Just logged into a thing and got a OTP sent to my phone, then got surprised by receiving an SMS. I really should have a coffee

[silk ocean]

Most I use my authenticator, some by email, some by SMS, it's a mixture XD

[hard ivy]

I often buy something and then get surprised when I get an email
somehow I never realise it's an order confirmation and expect something else

[shy mulch]

A lot of services don't give you the option, you use what they tell you to use :/

My work system allows SMS or email, and I find the email takes a few minutes to arrive sometimes but the SMS is always instant, so I use that even though SMS isn't secure

[silk ocean]

Yep, the good ones let you use your own authenticator and give you the code / QR

[shy mulch]

In the industry I work in, change is never fast, surprised we aren't still using COBOL for everything

The fact that we have 2FA is a miracle

[silk ocean]

You usually get at least an order confirmation email

[hard ivy]

Oh, I know. I always get one and somehow never expect it

Like not once did I ever think "oh, it's the confirmation for the order I just placed" before checking it and getting bamboozled

[silk ocean]

xD

There are 45 sites/servers in my authenticator, and probably another 5 or 10 that just do SMS/email

I generally 2FA anything that supports it these days unless it's really unimportant

[silk ocean]

Shocked by the confirmation... What sorcery is this, oh it's the order invoice

15 years ago when playing World of Warcraft a lot, Blizzard were sending out authenticators - these digital keyring devices, push the button and the number appears on the LCD. Amazingly it still works to this day

Back in the day before apps were prevalent

[shy mulch]

Hardware tokens are still used in high security applications. I have one for my work laptop

[silk ocean]

I can imagine yea, probably most secure as long as nobody steals it

[shy mulch]

Still needs a pin

[silk ocean]

Oh okay, these ones from Blizz are just push button

[shy mulch]

A lot of the high security stuff is only accessible if you're connected to my work VPN. To access it requires 2 authentications, a 6 digit pin which I enter, and a key which is entered when I press the button on the key which is in my usb slot

[silk ocean]

I can't remember when they first introduced them, it wasn't at the start of WoW, they came later on

[silk ocean]

Sounds pretty secure

[placid stirrup]

bro... why...

five more hairs go gray

[silk ocean]

The authenticator really adds to your world ranking

[unkempt blade]

they had to experience enough of a hacking problem before they rolled it out so not quite that long 😆

[silk ocean]

Yea it was in response to all the "hacks"

Accounts getting compromised, mostly due to crap passwords

[unkempt blade]

aka people using weak passwords, using them places they shouldn't, etc 😄

[silk ocean]

or people getting fooled into phishing sites

[shy mulch]

Back in those days nobody really thought about password security

[silk ocean]

It was a different time yeah

[shy mulch]

Late 90s early 2000s, I was a bit of a, what some might call a "script kiddie", I got banned from a lot of games

[tame marlin]

new to the game how do i remove the power line from my generator to put a new one connected to the pole

[shy mulch]

F

[tame marlin]

but my generator is the hub

ig i destroy whats connected to it

[shy mulch]

destroy the power line

[tame marlin]

but weird

oh ty

[shy mulch]

tbh it was mostly social engineering

90% of "hacking" these days goes like this
Hacker: give me your password
Boomer: ok, it's Melissa, that's my daughters name
Hacker: thanks, I now have your pension, good luck

[silk ocean]

I put the authenticator in #off-topic-media XD

[unkempt blade]

Joke's on them, I don't even know my password

[silk ocean]

Savage xD

Yea I use the app now

For quite some time in fact

Both rocking the green, love it @shy mulch I give it a hoover once a week or two with the brush attachment xD

I'm more amazed that the battery is still working after all these years

[unkempt blade]

I wish more stuff let me use my yubikey, vastly prefer it to phone-based 2fa

[shy mulch]

I just lick mine for the protein boost

[uncut trail]

how can i divide 3k iron into 1650 and 1350

[shy mulch]

you usually don't have to, what's the use case?

[green fiber]

You don't have 3000/min belts so start with the belts that you have

[uncut trail]

i have mk5 belts and i need 1650 for iron plates and other for rods

[green fiber]

1650 is 2 mk 5 belts and one third of a mk 3 belt

[atomic notch]

Splitters can be used to divide

[uncut trail]

no shit but it will divide in half and i dont want that

[shy mulch]

why half, why not 1/3?

[green fiber]

It can also do thirds

[atomic notch]

Youre being too narrow minded

Splits half but will still balance out

[green fiber]

If you use smart splitters you can do even more funny stuff

Like fill up a belt of a certain mk completely and the rest goes out the other side

[uncut trail]

i have 4 furnace manifolds total making 3k iron ingots, i need 1650 to go to manifold for plates and rest to manifold to make rods

[shy mulch]

These questions are almost always an overcomplication
The easiest answer is usually "you don't actually need to"
Can you give any detail on why you need to split them like that? I can probably explain an easier way to do it

[uncut trail]

im asking whats best way to split em

[hard ivy]

balancer

[uncut trail]

one you showed me?

[hard ivy]

depends how many belts you have in and out

[uncut trail]

i have four manifold which smelt iron so 4?

btw i got solid steel recipe

[shy mulch]

Are the 4 manifolds each outputting 750?
If that's the case
1st one and 2nd one go to plates, 3rd one goes to rods, 4th one split and go to both plates and rods
The fact it is 50/50 split won't matter, the plates machines will be overfed and fill up after a while, once they are all full, it will naturally balance perfectly for you

[hard ivy]

you can do something like this: #math-and-meta message

it'll be much easier than an actual balancer

and functionally the same (unless one or more belts goes to a sink or container, then you'll need smart splitters)

[uncut trail]

sure ill give it a try. thx

[hallow fox]

I am having some trouble where i only have one coal drill that distributes towards 4 generators, but even so it is still too small of a powergrid for my machines, the closest second coal deposit is fairly far away, what should i do?

[shy mulch]

Make more coal generators, being far away isn't an issue. You can run power lines any distance you want. Find coal nodes near water and build the generators there so you don't need to transport the coal or water, just the power

[uncut trail]

should i use pure iron and solid steel recipes?

[hard ivy]

I would use pure iron for sure

steel depends on whether I'm using default pipe or iron pipe

[uncut trail]

what pipe are you talking about

[hard ivy]

steel pipe

[uncut trail]

i gotta set up 65 refineries tho

[hard ivy]

can be made either from steel ingots or iron ingots (with an alt)

[uncut trail]

i have iron pipe and molded

[hallow fox]

I am also trying to get drill mk2 so i can get coal faster

[shy mulch]

yes that will help 🙂

[hard ivy]

use Satisfactory Tools to figure out which recipes you want to use. it all depends what resources you want to use and how many

[shy mulch]

if you unlock ||overclocking|| that helps too

[uncut trail]

what recipes do you recommend for hmf

[hard ivy]

either
https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production?share=kBdNowTR9CIUmfIPQeRF
or
https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production?share=HougDlPI9icPxV8DAUE7
or
https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production?share=16HrV8bDTvJkNy3iKyA6
depending on coal and iron availability

[uncut trail]

thx

heavy modular frame?

[hard ivy]

yeah, I would never consider using any other recipe

especially default

especially because they nerfed it in 1.0 😂

[smoky forge]

i can 100% relate LOL

[unkempt blade]

you're missing out on all the screw usage though if you use that recipe 🙁

[hard ivy]

good

[unkempt blade]

won't someone think of the screws?

[rare rivet]

Is there any way to nudge by larger amounts?

[shy mulch]

only 1m or 0.5m nudges are available, just hold the button down to keep nudging

[rare rivet]

Pain, any simpler way to build railways than just zooping out foundations from each blueprint? It's plenty fast but i wish it was faster

[shy mulch]

include the foundations in the blueprint

[unkempt blade]

20m alternative "shove" action when?

[steady glade]

for 20m you might as well slide jump over

[hallow fox]

Ok my scanner is messing with me, apparently right below where i had my coal deposit, there was another one and right beside the lake

[rare rivet]

Yeah I already do but I prefer 10 foundation gaps between pillars which no blueprint can do

[hallow fox]

And it didn’t mark it down

[hard ivy]

it marks the 3 closest nodes

[shy mulch]

do a 5 foundation one with pillars and a 5 foundation one without pillars, and place them alternately

[hallow fox]

It was right next to the other one, less than 30m away

[rare rivet]

Oh you're a genius

[steady glade]

consider separating the pillars and designing the track such that it has an easily identifiable snapping point for the pillar

function first, cosmetics second makes building faster

[rare rivet]

My current way was just a foundation under the pillar on the blueprint, zoop 10, auto connect the blueprint walk to the end, go down one meter, place, remove the zoop, repeat

Mind numbing stuff

[shy mulch]

Sounds slow 🙂

[sleek token]

It's also not been marking all iron for me

Satisfactory interactive map ftw tho

[unkempt blade]

I mostly build skyroads when I'm stuck in a zoom meeting. It's nice low-attention satisfactory while I occasionally have to talk or something

[atomic notch]

You can get radar towers to mark all the ores

[tame marlin]

just unlocked chests was expecting them to only output what the machines need :> rip

oh nvm is because the belt wasnt connected to machine

[hard ivy]

it'll keep outputting at max speed as long as the belt has space

[tame marlin]

or not idk

outputting random stuff?

[hard ivy]

it'll output everything it has inside

[tame marlin]

ugh... so for now the best i could do is have many chests for each item. im sure this will soon get powercrept and be a waste of time tho

[hard ivy]

why multiple containers for each item?

one each is enough usually

[tame marlin]

to serve as a buffer for the machines like smelters

[hard ivy]

why?

[unkempt blade]

other than building materials you typically don't want to store/buffer a lot of stuff in satisfactory

resource nodes never run out so you build with a known amout in mind

[hard ivy]

only put containers at the end of production lines to grab supplies from them

there's little reason to put containers in the middle of production

[feral geyser]

I don't know why I never realized how cracked the Stitched Iron Plates recipe is.

[hard ivy]

especially with iron wire

[feral geyser]

It cuts the cost of RIPs by nearly a third

[hard ivy]

ayep

[feral geyser]

Yeah, but I don't so much mind blending resources, so with Cat Wire

[hard ivy]

and no screws to deal with

[heavy pine]

Indeed. I'm not using screws anywhere if I can help it.

[feral geyser]

Cast Screws is also usually in the first few recipes I take, cuz you can't get rid of them in rotors until steel

[hard ivy]

eh, I just deal with default screws

I consider screw using and screw making alts a waste of a drive

except copper rotor, that ones's decent

[shy mulch]

For me, I give "most underrated alt" award to rubber concrete

[tame marlin]

is it possible to divide a conveyer belt into 2?

[feral geyser]

Agreed

[feral geyser]

Yeah, just put only two belts on a splitter

[tame marlin]

oh ig i dont have splitters yet

[feral geyser]

Oh yeah, you gotta do your logistics milestone

[olive condor]

Oh boy! I just had a dangerous thought. There are smart splitters, but why are there no smart mergers?

[feral geyser]

Priority mergers are kinda that, but not quite.

[shut heart]

How would a smart merger work?

[unkempt blade]

I still want an RNG splitter to inject some excitement into my factory

or a splerger with 2 inputs and 2 outputs

[shut heart]

That sounds kinda like a crossroad type thing.

[unkempt blade]

I just like the name but a priority smart splerger could be entertaining for... something

[shy mulch]

Splerger Carts?

[shut heart]

Splerger sounds more like putting a sushi belt into a hyper tube and splerging resources out like a sprinkler

[unkempt blade]

that would also have a lot of entertainment value

[shy mulch]

I know some people like mods that make the game annoyingly hard. How does this one sound. Drunk train drivers that sometimes just unload all their cargo at the wrong station

[astral gyro]

Lol

Tbh I do think a fully random recipe run would be fun

[shut heart]

That's a fact

[astral gyro]

No other alts besides the alts it gives you

[shy mulch]

That does sound fun

[unkempt blade]

I've been rolling dice for recipes a lot, it's been fun if you don't care about min/max stuff

I was realizing I gravitated towards the same clumps of recipes all the time

[shut heart]

Max rate random item generator would have to go on a belt that runs through a series of smart splitters. Like I used to do before the dimensional depot for mall input

[astral gyro]

I know that theoretically you could get soft locked with the random recipies mod

But still sounds fun

[plush pumice]

i gotta ask yall, when yall build blueprints with train lines, do the the tracks auto connect for yall or do you have to manually build the tracks?

[shut heart]

I haven't played 1.1 much yet. From some videos I've watched, the tracks should connect automagically

[hard ivy]

they auto connect in auto connect mode

[small notch]

hello

[plush pumice]

alr, thx mates

[small notch]

what recipe is better normal modular frame or steeled frame or another if there is any

[gusty bronze]

I always used steel, cause you can make an insane amount of steel pipes with very few nodes

[small notch]

alr ty

[shut heart]

Steeled frame requires less reinforced plates too

[hard ivy]

yeah, I always use steeled frame too. really useful with iron pipe

[small notch]

i have a lot of steel being made should i make iron pipes or normal steel pipe recipe

i can easy do either

[gusty bronze]

I prefer molded steel pipes, but iron pipes also works

molded requires a bit of setup and math

[small notch]

yh molded seems good but i hate anything with concrete required

not sure why

[gusty bronze]

I know people hate it, but just use wet concrete, keep it simple

lot of people hate all the water refinery recipes for requiring large quantities of land

[small notch]

also can you get bigger blueprint designers?

[gusty bronze]

Max is 6x6 if I recall, nods give bigger

[small notch]

alr ty

[shut heart]

That 6X6 one is way late game though. Like one of the last milestones if I remember

[small notch]

are versitile frameworks used for phase 3

[atomic notch]

Yeah

[small notch]

k ty

[atomic notch]

Im using residual sulphuric acid from plutonium processing to do leached caterium then the caterium is goin towards ficsite. Then whatever goes beyond that havent planned that far

[bronze dagger]

if weve already put resources in for one milestone, switch it to do another, what will happen to those resources?

[atomic notch]

They stay there

You used to be able to pull them out iirc

But they stay with the milestone so if you select it agan theyll be there

[raven anchor]

anyone know where to find plastic starting from the northern forest region?

[atomic notch]

Needa get sam fluctuators automated so i can spam converters lol

[rustic hare]

yeah I used to do iron pipe, but it was just way too frickin slow and wasted so much iron, I decided to build this wet concrete plant with 25 refineries to run my molded recipe needs #screenshots message

[small notch]

that factory is awsome

[rustic hare]

ty, ofc iron pipe is still useful, paired with iron wire allow you to make sam fluctuators from just iron & sam, eliminating coal and copper

[small notch]

yh them two aternatives are some of my best right now

[hard ivy]

eh, I don't like molded pipe. uses a ton of limestone, even with wet concrete. way too much to be worth the minuscule steel savings

[small notch]

probably would do that but i havent got refineries yet unfortunately

[deep brook]

@smoky forge it only appears on that singular priority switch

[smoky forge]

dam ok then idk

[white dawn]

Your resource scanner should point you in the right directions

[deep brook]

i relaunched the game and it's still there 😭

[smoky forge]

it happens to every switch in my world

[white dawn]

Though there's a lot if you head north

[late radish]

dont wory about complicating stuff in early game

[lapis lagoon]

maybe im overthinking it

[ripe basin]

If you have more than your machine eats its actually good

[smoky forge]

[atomic notch]

Id just leave the 12.5 in it tho

[smoky forge]

you just said its coal

[lapis lagoon]

to get rid of the exess

[smoky forge]

aluminum is a whole diffrent story

U might have to restart steam

[hard ivy]

is SCIM set to 1.1?

[uncut trail]

where can i check/do that

[hard ivy]

top right

[ripe basin]

@north cloudHey theres some guy that might be a troll

[uncut trail]

i did it and it still says "That save version isn't supported! Are you sure this is a proper save file???" should i start thread or...?

[thin bough]

я вообще то просто зашел, а ты меня заткнуть попытался, первый начал

[ripe basin]

Ты хуйню стал нести брат

never seen that tbh

no

[ripe basin]

U sure?

[thin bough]

yea

[uncut trail]

fixed it

[hard ivy]

that's what a troll would say

[smoky forge]

[thin bough]

please forgive me, I won't troll you anymore, even though I'm not.

[ripe basin]

Its okay brother

[uncut trail]

can i "filter" hard drives to only ones i havent taken?

[smoky forge]

im my times where i was a mod, i muted people like you

[north cloud]

lets all calm down please

[uncut trail]

during my times we did lot worse

👍

[uncut trail]

ive uploaded my save to scim to farm harddrives but only see part of map ive "unlocked" is there a way to display full map?

[hard ivy]

disable fog of war in the settings

[uncut trail]

thanks dude

[true mulch]

you can either toggle it temporarily or disable it permanently in settings

uncheck "generate fog of war" somewhere in there

[uncut trail]

yea i did it

[ripe basin]

How can you get the "Pioneer" role?

I like the color

[true mulch]

have 9k edits on the satisfactory wiki

[smoky forge]

flex

[hard ivy]

so you're saying 1 isn't enough

[true mulch]

you're on the right path

[clever merlin]

prety much end game at this poing not sure if i want to fishing phase 8 or just start a new world

[shy mulch]

you've barely begun

[clever merlin]

how so

you mean just building after you finish all that

like factorio then it just a building and more effient

[shy mulch]

completing the space elavator is basically one giant tutorial, then the fun begins

[clever merlin]

and making something cool you like base wise right

[woeful ocean]

i get "your connection to the host has been lost" when trying to join my server. any idea how to fix?

[wary perch]

Wouldn’t it be cool if after the space elevator you could put a certain vending machine down which allowed you to have different liquids in your coffee cup

[scenic mirage]

after space elevator i think imma start a new save and do everything correctly no spaghetti or anything

on this save i was avoiding space depots and stuff for the longest time

[latent meadow]

that wat i was thinking too lazars

as much as i love my base i feel like i did so much spegti belts it hard to fix it without almost just redoing it all

kind of want to just do another base this time i not sure i gonna sepreate out the the belts on ach side to walk down

kind of have a centreal system of belts that i can break off on each side to feed items to the area of my base

[small notch]

finally hit 1 gw power 🥳

[hollow tartan]

I think it is worth trying to finish the space elevator if you haven't, it is a beautiful sight

[hollow tartan]

drone network is OP

[scenic mirage]

yeah i just unlocked drones in hub but i havent touched them yet

[scenic mirage]

W congrats

[small notch]

ty

[latent meadow]

same it looked cool just i wasnt sure how i would use the drone tbh

[hollow tartan]

they are the best. Fair warning though, make sure each depot has a different name, so come up with a naming scheme that will make each unique, otherwise it could totally mess up your network

[latent meadow]

although now i think i know

[scenic mirage]

is it rlly fuel intensive? i run trucks rn but the trucks are awful they all run into each other and stuff

[latent meadow]

if i did a drone with the alumium stuff i could just keep my partical excellerator over near my nuclear stuff

wat there range

[hollow tartan]

I used rocket fuel for them and had no fuel issues

[latent meadow]

can use nuclear rods too right for the drone

[hollow tartan]

basically infinite with good fuel, but the limiting factor then would be transport speed

[latent meadow]

true

i wish i didnt try to make such compact setups lol

kind of my mo

[hollow tartan]

yea thats fun, but makes for tougher expansion late game

[latent meadow]

yea i foudn that out hte hard way

even though i mange to spegti in some belts here and there

each time i felt the grip of having to redo everthing getting tigher lol

[hollow tartan]

haha good blueprints should help that seem less burdensome

[latent meadow]

true

i not played with blueprints yet

i need to play around see how i ike them

[hollow tartan]

or leave your tiny nice factories on the impure nodes and then expand bigger factories to normal and pure nodes

[scenic mirage]

yeah my first world i unlocked blueprints and then just gave up

[hollow tartan]

it changes the game

makes setting up a factory take like 1/8th the time

[latent meadow]

i can image

[hollow tartan]

If you do blueprint setups I’d recommend building your buildings directly on the ground of the printer and not on foundations. First time I did it I built them on foundations and lining that up everytime is annoying

[shy mulch]

lining them up is easy once you get the hang of it

[hollow tartan]

Yea it’s not hard, just more annoying than anything else compared to just plopping the blueprint on a premade foundation

[severe plover]

I need to split a 240 iron ingot input into 135 and 105/min is it even possible to split the load this finely?

or is it the case of just forcing everything on a 240 belt and let it build up excess because the machines aren't fast enough

[hard ivy]

just use a single splitter and it'll even out eventually

[small notch]

#screenshots 15 frameworks a min it may not be the best setup ever but im happy lol

[severe plover]

fair enough, thought that would be the play

[hollow tartan]

ye this would be like a minimally load balanced manifold

[uncut trail]

Is pure aluminum recipe good?

i think base one gives more alu ingots no?

[hard ivy]

simpler but less ingots per bauxite

[hollow tartan]

it does, but pure is nice to simplify a factory if needed

[hard ivy]

unless you need peak baux efficiency, I wouldn't bother with default, it uses a ton of quartz

[hollow tartan]

^

[uncut trail]

ok ig ill take it

what about steamed copper sheet and caterium computer

im kinda short on computers

[reef basin]

Do you like what the recipes give you? Then it's good (for you)

[unkempt blade]

I'm a big fan of steamed sheets when I have extra power to throw at it

[uncut trail]

hot take when you spawn walk around every crash sites and youll gather insane resources no?

[shy mulch]

that's a common tactic for speedrunners, who know exactly what they need and where to get it

[unkempt blade]

I would imagine even more so now that you can disassemble them too

[uncut trail]

i think i "discovered" a "bug"

when im flying with jetpack and game saves automatically i get launched in the sky

[shy mulch]

it's known

[unkempt blade]

They should keep that one. It sounds like a really entertaining unintended feature

[undone kestrel]

It's been in the game forever, they either can't fix it or don't have any intentions in fixing it anytime soon 😂

[shy mulch]

I need to make a building that has 7 drone ports, 2 train stations, 52 converters, and 8 particle accelerators. Need design inspiration. Time to go browse #design-and-architecture I suppose

[uncut trail]

Is either molded beam or tempered copper ingot good?

[red sun]

alt recipes are basically all situational

[hard ivy]

I wouldn't take either

[red sun]

they're all tradeoffs in one way or another, no alt is really "better" than another

[uncut trail]

respectfully thats the answer i dont like

[hard ivy]

unless it's heavy encased frame 🙃

[red sun]

respectfully it's sort of the truth. if an alt recipe works better for you then use it

[uncut trail]

i got iron wire and is coated plate worth it

[undone kestrel]

If you're just gonna ask us what to pick for every hard drive you scan you may as well just save yourself some time by going onto the reddit and looking at an alt tier list

[hard ivy]

I like both. but i'd consider iron wire more useful

[scenic mirage]

steel screw 😍

[unkempt blade]

do you have extra plastic you want to use instead of iron?

[uncut trail]

nah i already have iron wire

[uncut trail]

maybe

[red sun]

iyam, if you don't see a use for a recipe then don't pick it

[hard ivy]

nah. I do not want to make or use screws, ever

[uncut trail]

it cant be that bad

[unkempt blade]

it's a pretty ok recipe if you don't mind using some plastic (see the situational answer)

[scenic mirage]

early game tho its goated

[uncut trail]

im farming hdd like crazy have 11 still going

[hard ivy]

other than copper rotor, all other screw-using recipes are complete ass imo

[red sun]

i very rarely touch alts at all

[hard ivy]

at that point you can skip screws entirely. so I do exactly that

[unkempt blade]

sometimes you just need to use screws though for the love of the game

[undone kestrel]

Minimum 50k screws/min needed for a sucessful save

[red sun]

aside from pure aluminium ingots. fuck silica

[unkempt blade]

I agree. If you're not using 50k screws is it even a real factory?

[pliant prawn]

WOOT! Just finished the last milestone! Now to ...do...the rest. hehehehe, crap

[hard ivy]

I'd rather not play the game at all rather than deal with default recipes

[red sun]

can't yuck one another's yum

it's too much mental bandwidth for me to choose an alt recipe that could be better spent actually building shit

[uncut trail]

10min wait time is so retarted

[red sun]

to each their own and whatever

[unkempt blade]

you can yes-and someone's yum though which is why he's not wrong but he should be using factory carts in addition to alt recipes

[hard ivy]

SFTools, enable all recipes, and 90% of recipes are exactly what I want

[hard ivy]

scan drives as you collect them

they're 80-100% scanned before you find the next one

[uncut trail]

yea im doing that

[scenic mirage]

do pipes lose liquid if theres a new segment? does it need to be one continuous pipe instead of a buncha smaller ones connected?

[red sun]

i hate waiting in games holy shit

smells like a headlift problem

[scenic mirage]

i have like 3 mk2 pumps on a horizontal pipe theres no way it is 😭

[undone kestrel]

They don't however good practice is also to minimise the number of connections

[unkempt blade]

imo never scan drives and set up a conveyor going around your hub with the following - blue slug => yellow slug => purple slug => sloop => sphere => drive => repeat sequence

[red sun]

well if that's the case that's just pipes being pipes

they can be wack as fuck sometimes

[hard ivy]

pumps on level pipes are a bad idea unless you know what you're doing

[scenic mirage]

i have no clue what im doing 😄

[red sun]

this guy knows what's up

[undone kestrel]

Remove the pumps they willl be doing nothing if the pipes are horizontal

[red sun]

@scenic mirage might be worth making a #1038092680493801533 post and adding some screenshots, will help to pin down the problem

[scenic mirage]

i should but its also 9:15 pm and i havent eaten dinner yet and i have work in the morning 😭

[undone kestrel]

Try rebuilding the entire pipe segment. You might have dodgy connection(s) somewhere

[atomic notch]

Daily pipe appreciation

[scenic mirage]

#screenshots message

thats a tomorrow me problem 😂

[red sun]

that's definitely a tomorrow you problem

i'm not making heads or tails of that lmao

[atomic notch]

Yeah somethin like that id have to be lookin at it to know whats goin on

[peak wasp]

iron pipes are my goat rn

[scenic mirage]

yeah if i cant figure it out tomorrow then i dont rlly have time until sunday

[signal needle]

i eat smart plating

[hard ivy]

that can't be healthy

[scenic mirage]

i eat ai limiters

[peak wasp]

I eat beryl nuts

[undone kestrel]

In the last 3 days I have walked 45 miles, now starting to get a feel for how my poor pioneer feels 😭

[scenic mirage]

this week im working 44 hours but with overtime ill prob be at like 47 or 48

[uncut trail]

broo i got hardest choice of my life

6 inv space or good recipe for me

[hollow tartan]

good recipe!

[uncut trail]

its silicone circuit

[scenic mirage]

scan more hard drives until you have no recipes left then pick the good recipe then reroll one and then pick the inventory

[uncut trail]

one with silica

[hard ivy]

that one's pretty decent

I like cat CBs more tho

[hollow tartan]

dimensional depots make inventory space less of a necessity and you will get the space on a different hard drive soon

[uncut trail]

yea i can use less plastic and put that plastic towards coated plate

damn i shouldntve slept on researching this long

[hollow tartan]

go exploring! its super valuable

[limpid cairn]

please add a mini map into the game 🙏

[calm dawn]

whats the natural height limit that water extractors can raise the water to?

is it like 5 meters?

[hard ivy]

10

[calm dawn]

thanks

[limpid cairn]

is there a way to measure height without mods?

[hard ivy]

1m walls

[uncut trail]

yea i came back with 160 powershards and around 25 hdd

[hard ivy]

or put a pump immediately after the extractor and it'll tell you how much head lift is providing

[uncut trail]

there should be system where you can "favourite" items in inventory so they never get moved automatically like it is in terraria

ill stand on that till i die

[hollow tartan]

ye smart

[red sun]

and i have walked 45 more

[shy mulch]

there is in dimentional depot

[uncut trail]

not really my point

[latent meadow]

sorry i only have phase 9 left

[astral gyro]

But your pioneer has blade runners taking some of it as well

[latent meadow]

not sure wat items are for phase 4 of the elevator

[plain gate]

ads mfg tpr and pasta

[latent meadow]

wat the first one

i dont see that i unlocked it though i already unlocked everthing

[white dawn]

Yeah, re: inventory, I would definitely really like to be able to at least "pin" stuff on the hot-switch bar, so you can develop muscle memory for swapping between equipment (like jetpack/hoverpack/parachute)

As it is, the hot-switch options you have can feel pretty dynamic, even if you keep your inventory well-sorted

[leaden turret]

whatchu mean pin stuff?

[white dawn]

Like make it so that 1 is always my hoverpack, 2 always the jetpack, etc

[leaden turret]

ah, go ask Anthor nicely 😛

[latent meadow]

i just like to see the jetpacks get a bit of a remake

tbh they feel so clunky

[white dawn]

I'm pretty sure the game determines it dynamically whenever the inventory's opened -- I think it mostly just depends on what order things are in. Could save-edit a particular order once but then the instant you start messing with your inventory it'd go screwy

There's probably a mod for what I want, if I took the time to look for one. :D

[leaden turret]

I thought you were talking about hotbars?

[lament light]

did they fixed multiplayer hypertube junctions?

[leaden turret]

imagines hypertube junction with no beryl nuts and a cone of shame

[latent meadow]

Assembly Director System

[white dawn]

That was probably the wrong term to use. I mean that when you open your inventory, you get a dynamic list of items at the top which you can use for equipment. You can use number keys to switch to them. But the problem is that that list is pretty dynamic, so you can't really develop muscle memory. If you have a panicked "oh I need to switch to parachute right now" moment, you've gotta look for the parachute in that list, and it might not have even made it to the hot-swappable list, depending on the state of your inventory

Not that shift-clicking is difficult, but it'd be nice to be able to have somthing under the fingers

[leaden turret]

ah

then yeah, pop into anthor's discord and politely request a feasibility check

[white dawn]

Eh, as I say, it'd be a modding thing, not a save-editing thing. Presumably SCIM could already do it, since I think it just depends on what order the items are in your inventory. But then as soon as you hit "sort" it would change

[leaden turret]

yeah preservation on click would be mod thing, one assumes

[white dawn]

(By the same token, just manually rearranging your inventory would do it. No need for SCIM for that. :D)

[latent meadow]

ok now i am super confued where do you unlcoked the assembly director system

[fluid sapphire]

tier 7 - control system development

[latent meadow]

ok werid i dont see it in a assembler

nvm

[fluid sapphire]

collapsed section?

[latent meadow]

oh i dumb i did manufacory

not assember lol

i need another cup of coffie lol if ada will let me take a break

i would have to have put the control rods ont he other side of the base form my vestile frames 😐

my base is such a disaster lol

[ripe basin]

Good night guys

[uncut trail]

are diluted packaged fuel and diluted fuel separate things?

[peak wasp]

I have recipe for quickwire stator and normal stator, but it's not there in crating bench or assembler

[white dawn]

They both produce Fuel, in the end

[hard ivy]

yes, they're 2 different recipes

[white dawn]

Diluted Packaged Fuel can be acquired in Phase 3, and only needs Refineries + Packagers

Diluted Fuel can be acquired in Phase 4, and requires a Blender

[uncut trail]

i was looking for diluted fuel for long time

its good right? produces more fuel

[hard ivy]

yes

[peak wasp]

maybe need advanced steel in t4

[hard ivy]

it's t7+ tho

[white dawn]

The packaged version technically produces Packaged Fuel, which you'll generally then unpackage. All the material ratios are the same, though. The same amount of HOR+Water will give you the same amount of Fuel, whether you use the packaged version or not

[peak wasp]

but im sure i have

[uncut trail]

im there

[uncut trail]

only have nuclear bs left
