satisfactory

[atomic notch]

Liquid bio cant

[sweet tusk]

I typically run liquid biofuel for my vehicles, but if you are pretty far into that game and have a large infrastructure for a better fuel, go with that.

[sick dragon]

The less "complex" the fuel the more it will require

[sick dragon]

Why on earth would you try to run vehicle infrastructure on that

[atomic notch]

I got tons of it just waiting for a purpose

[sweet tusk]

Also I just looked at them and drones don't accept liquid biofuel so don't use that, lol

[sick dragon]

My turbofuel plant doubles as a packaged rocket fuel facility giving me 600 rocket fuel for vehicles and drones

[atomic notch]

Yeak ik i just said that lol

[deep pier]

rigor motor or quickwire stator?

[cunning siren]

You eventually get a jetpack to hover over everything 🤷

[atomic notch]

Both

[sick dragon]

Crouching also makes you immune but it ain't fast

[cunning siren]

Are "day 0" doggos not a thing? Like, can not tame a doggo from game start?

[sweet tusk]

I run liquid biofuel in my trucks, tractors, and jetpack. I don't have any drones yet but I guess I'll need a different fuel for those when I'm there.

[atomic notch]

You can slide under belts tho

[sick dragon]

I was gonna use all the bauxite in the swamp plus the oil. I then notice 3 more nodes of bauxite that I could add to the plant but then I see that the oil well there is impure reeeee

So I can't add it

Unless I go get more from elsewhere

[vale grotto]

Are you talking about your personal vehicles or your factory's vehicles?

[feral geyser]

Batteries are best drone fuel

[sweet tusk]

Factory. Almost all of them use liquid biofuel except for the few that stop at fuel making locations like powerplants

[slender quest]

You totally can, just get some paleberries.

[restive river]

Imagion taming lizard dragos

[vale grotto]

Do you have just a massive surplus that you're running on, or do you have to regularly go out and collect more biomass?

[cunning siren]

OH right, they don't eat nuts

[vale grotto]

I'd take even coal in my trucks over using biofuel lol

[restive river]

For gathering their bio matter

[feral geyser]

Real G's fuel their vehicles with alien remains.

[restive river]

Waste to Energy production I can see that

biluge I think is what its called right?

[vale grotto]

I mean I fuel my personal vehicles with them
... by converting them into biofuel lol

[sweet tusk]

"Regularly" I guess you could say. I just have all the stuff I grab run through multiple slooped constructors and refineries so a small trip will last me for many play sessions.

[feral geyser]

If my tractor doesn't smell like hog hamburger rolling down the highway, I don't want it.

[vale grotto]

Fair enough yeah
I just can't imagine ever not automating something when I could instead have a fully infinite supply haha

[smoky nimbus]

why are my trains bringing in 512/m? the source is only producing 480/m

[feral geyser]

Magic

[hard ivy]

they're probably still draining some buffer

[feral geyser]

Why does the wiki not show burn time for Pacakaged Liquid Biofuel in the Tractor/Truck/Explorer columns?
Ignore i was looking at the regular liquid biofuel row.

They definitely can use it

[cunning siren]

Crafting bench volume slider! YEEEES!

[plush jasper]

Can i just ask if anybody knows the issue/potential solution to my issue, its simply just that my todo list is weirdly formatting in like 1 character > next line, repeating, almost as if it was writing vertically, i then reset the game and its now only allowing 6 characters before going to the next line, when normally it allows alot more, any help appreciated, thanks

[hard ivy]

???
https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Packaged_Liquid_Biofuel

[feral geyser]

I realize, my b

[feral geyser]

The to-do list has indeed been acting weird, every so often when I join someone else's world, it will be all blurred out.

[shy mulch]

I noticed that recently, it seems to randomly choose a new width, sometimes really narrow. Reloading my save seems to fix it.

[plush jasper]

well resetting the save didnt help, and rebooting the game only changed its width to 6 characters, super annoying to read

alright, i reloaded my save again and it seems to have worked... for now

we wil see how long it lasts

[fleet geyser]

Anybody wanna be friends?

[shy mulch]

I already have 2 friends, that's too many already, I can't cope with the popularity, sorry

[steady glade]

ADA's already my best friend and my FICSIT Inc. mandated breaks aren't enough for me to have a social life

[silk ocean]

Breaks are not permitted, the rest area is just for show xD

[restive river]

What is headlift? Is that the distance between each pump?

[silk ocean]

The height that water has to go up

or *fluid

[hard ivy]

how high fluid can climb before requiring a (another) pump

[restive river]

ohh

[silk ocean]

KYO explanation probably better

[sullen gull]

And tip, place "before" the next blue bubble. Try not to snap to the bubble. Can sometimes put it "just outside" the previous pumps headlift.

If needing to go higher than 50m that is.

[silk ocean]

If it has to rise up more than 10m then a pump is required and then more needed as KYO explains if it goes further up - I think a Mk.1 pump can lift by another 20m and a Mk.2 by 50m before needing another pump

[vale grotto]

Or 20m for the mk1 pump

[silk ocean]

Put the pump at the bottom of that headlift

[smoky nimbus]

my path signals are saying that the signal loops into itself on a T intersection, anyone know why?

[restive river]

ugh I placed so many pumps at this stupid site

[sullen gull]

But, really it's just about sizing, But I say above 50m, because that's the max you can go with "pumps" in general.

I.e, there is no mk3 that lets you go to 75 or 100 for example.

[silk ocean]

I've often thought there could do with being a Mk.3 set of plumbing, seeing as belts go to Mk.6, but it's not a big deal, just double, triple, the amount of plumbiing, or more xD

[unkempt blade]

I don't think discord can handle the amount of traffic from all the people who will come and complain about their mk3 pipes not working how they expect

[silk ocean]

At least there would be less complaints about Mk.2 pipes xD

[unkempt blade]

always a silver lining!

[restive river]

I want to create Siluge

by taming monsters

and harvesting their waste

But then we're dipping our toes into Farming SImulator territory lol

[silk ocean]

Pandemic.... 4 of us... oh my that was a lot of farming sim xD

Even rented a dedi XD

[restive river]

God I tried 2025 and that was the worst one yet

[shy mulch]

if people would just package their fluids and transport them by factory cart, this whole thing would be solved

[silk ocean]

Haven't tried that one xD

[smoky nimbus]

i've been messing with these train signals for 30 minutes now and I can't get them to work

[restive river]

its graphically pathetic

[silk ocean]

Shame :/

[shy mulch]

keep trying 🙂 it will make sense eventually

[smoky nimbus]

nah, my signals are saying it loops into itself for zero reasno

[stray herald]

Hello
My to-do list is suddenly not appearing after I tried adding blueprints do it

[silk ocean]

If I open my server up to "public" I'm sure it will just be to recruit 15 slaves to manually carry fluids and mats around xD

[stray herald]

I reloaded the save twice and cleared the list, still nothing shows

[restive river]

hmmmmmm, you mean like patchnotes?

[naive orchid]

nope i meant the message above u

suggestions..

[restive river]

ohhh

[naive orchid]

like more drone port inputs, outputs and pipeling inputs/outputs

cuz if not then my cooling system blender can shut down at any time

[silk ocean]

Sounds like you need TRAINZ™

[restive river]

I think we should get a bowl or food dish recipe to entice those lizard dragos

[naive orchid]

nah im over with trains im gonna marry drones back

[silk ocean]

The love affair with trains has ended xD

[naive orchid]

took me 2 whole hours to set up a train coming to collect rocket fuel and put it into a packager at my base

[restive river]

Back to train simulator for you

[silk ocean]

Back to OpenTTD 😈

[silk ocean]

Takes a while to setup a network but once global it's very handy

[naive orchid]

or we could just add inputs for storage boxes

problem solve

[silk ocean]

A Mk.6 out of a drone port should drain it pretty fast

[restive river]

ngl I always wanted to try OpenTTD isn't that the Thempark one or is that the Railroad one

[naive orchid]

heat sinks stack in 100s, rubber stacks in 200s, if rubber starts coming out of 1 input, heat sinks will eventually have no place to enter my blender

[stray herald]

Is it possible to tell a train to only load one stack on an item?

I am trying to figure out the logistics of a storage hub and how to ship items to it

[naive orchid]

so it's basically by hand every cooling system i get

[silk ocean]

It's based on the original - Transport Tycoon Deluxe, which is a similar engine/style to Rollercoaster Tycoon. OpenTTD has much more advanced features, pathfinding, etc. You can build massive rail networks

[restive river]

Ahh

I loved Rollercoaster one

[silk ocean]

Yea that was cool

[shy mulch]

I prefer sticking true to originals in games like that, where possible

[silk ocean]

The pathfinder in Deluxe fell over if things got too complicated

Trains just ended up getting lost all the time

[naive orchid]

god sh** i was wrong again

[restive river]

Like Balooons in Rollercoaster tycoon

[naive orchid]

if the rubber is drained from the conveyor then heat sinks can come in

yeah everything is good

[restive river]

Joking aside though I still want a foodbowl to bait in a lizard drago what a dream to have to have a tame lizard drago that will let you pet them

[leaden turret]

no bowl needed tho?

[rare rivet]

for vertical pumps does the headlift have to reach just to the pump? or does the headlift before that pump have to reach like to the top of the pump

[green fiber]

bottom of the pump

[leaden turret]

<@&370483737957236737> @open bone FICSIT orange (Lizard) Doggo Bowl

[shut fractal]

is satisfactory worth if I have no interest at tier 8 and phase 3

[green fiber]

the input of the pump must be reached, which is at the bottom of the pump

[shy mulch]

tier 8 is phase 4

[shut fractal]

yeah mb

[restive river]

not for it to run away but to stay in the main hub

[leaden turret]

can build a cage for that tho

there's also a mod for a lizard doggo house

[sullen gull]

Each pump will reset that of the last. Try to put the next pump within the headlift of the last. Ie, if the previous was a mk2, put the next one no more than ~45m up. (if that makes sense)

[rare rivet]

yeah it's more of "how far can i stretch the distance between pumps"

[peak wasp]

Any tips on how to get MILLIONS of PLASTIC? I have all the oil nodes all maxed out on power shards, all the refiners maxed out, but I NEVER have enough plastic to make COMPUTERS. ARGH

[sullen gull]

But, if you snap the next to the blue bubble, sometimes it put's it just outside the lasts' range

[sullen gull]

recycled rubber/plastic.

[shy mulch]

what sort of scale are we talking here, how much plastic exactly are you making right now

[peak wasp]

I have the residual plastic recipe but that needs the polymer. How many refineys must make all the polymers?

[true mulch]

Open SFTools, enable all recipes. It'll choose the most resource efficient ones. Diluted fuel and recycled plastic/rubber (as mentioned) are key

[sullen gull]

Go drive hunting, find the recycled plastic/rubber alts

[true mulch]

It takes a bit more buildings but makes 4,5x as much

[peak wasp]

Ah ok. So I haven't found the recycled plastic recipe ok

[sullen gull]

If you want max yeild of course. Otherwise, and, really in both cases, go with Ondar's advice.

[unkempt blade]

and the build is way more fun than the normal one

[shy mulch]

I find it incredible that someone has built plastic refineries for literally every oil node on the map, but still has alts to unlock

[peak wasp]

I don't think I have SFTools. Is that a mod?

[hard ivy]

https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production

[true mulch]

Beat me to it

How much plastic do you want, I can punch in the numbers

[peak wasp]

Omg is this like Rustrician but for Satisfactory machines omg

[unkempt blade]

all of it

[peak wasp]

THE MAX ALLOWED

[unkempt blade]

I didn't know this existed. It looks way more fun than actual Rust

[shy mulch]

I'm getting vibes of someone who has really underestimated what "all of the plastic" actually means. Would be useful for the asker to give a hint to what sort of scale they are working on

@peak wasp how much plastic are you making right now

[true mulch]

You tell it either how much you want or what you can work with and it spits out a flowchart optimized for the best resource efficiency. Note that that's not the only metric, often you want to optimize for lowest building count

[peak wasp]

I dunno, not enough

[true mulch]

Please not all of it, that'll drive you mad

[shy mulch]

less than 30k/min?

[restive river]

do you have any throughputs for your plastic outputs?

[peak wasp]

I don't know how to math that. I am shit at maths

[unkempt blade]

fine fine, just max out a 600 oil node 😄

[hard ivy]

max plastic is 37800/min

[true mulch]

I'll put 810 for starters and you can just change it if you'd like

That makes clean numbers of machines

[peak wasp]

ok

[shy mulch]

I get wound up when people ask for help but won't answer basic questions that will help us give them more appropriate answers, so I'm gonna step out

[true mulch]

@peak wasp do you have blenders?

[peak wasp]

Yeah

[true mulch]

https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production?share=8jtmU0VaItpB60FXXzxZ

I recommend sticking to multiples of 810 (or 81) to get clean numbers of machines

Otherwise you get repeating decimals and whatnot

[unkempt blade]

go all the way to 1800! use all the oil pipe!

[peak wasp]

omg so many refineys

[hard ivy]

it's not like it's an issue 🤷‍♂️

[peak wasp]

how can i even get enough oil for that many refineys

[true mulch]

That only consumes 270

That's not even a full normal node

[peak wasp]

oh

[shy mulch]

To max out all the oil, you will use 1751 refineries and 336 blenders

You wanted "all of it"

[stray herald]

How does everyone ship resources to their main hub?

[true mulch]

I try to avoid it when I can. Often you can achieve it with just a small adjustment of the target output

[shy mulch]

mostly trains

[true mulch]

I probably won't ship any finished parts and just stick to depots in this playthrough

[hard ivy]

eh, I only aim for a whole number of outputting machines. the rest doesn't matter

[stray herald]

I am thinking of having all trains stop at the storage area after they unloaded to all the stations on their path, before going to pick up new resources.
Do you use one freight per item or do you mix stuff?

[hard ivy]

I'd suggest using one station per item

[slender quest]

Dimensional depot if it's for personal usage, trains if the distance is more than half a kilometer, drones if the distance is a few kilometers and I don't wanna build a railway to that one location.

[unkempt blade]

if it's just dumping at the hub mixing isn't a huge problem as long as throughput is high enough for all the places you're drawing items from

if you're actually building stuff from the items on the train I'd do one item type per car

[stray herald]

It's mostly for building materials, I keep running out of them especially plates and quartz crystals. I have 3 stacks in my dimensional depot but they're not keeping up lol
Maybe it's just because I am building a railroad network, will see if I need more for other projects

[stray herald]

Wouldn't that be slower than 4 platforms per station?

I guess it's dependent on the resources

[hard ivy]

upload them faster then

[stray herald]

Honestly if I max the update out it might be the play, I'm currently at 60/min I think it would solve lots of headaches

[slender quest]

Dimensional depot then, maybe even 2 per a material you need most often.
And check the box "Use from inventory before Depot"

[hard ivy]

you use however many platforms you need for that particular item

[stray herald]

Wait you can stack depot uploads?

This is big news to me lol

[sullen gull]

With multiple uploaders for an item, yes.

[slender quest]

You get more speed, but the space is the same.

[hard ivy]

of course. the limit is per uploader. it doesn't care what items it has inside

[stray herald]

That's huge

Thanks folks

[slender quest]

You won't get past 5 stack limit (or whatever your current limit is), but the speed will increase. With 5 depots at 240/min you'll get 1200, and with uploading from your inventory (for some reason, idk, testing?) you get to 1440.

On my base I have a cargo container that is connected to 2 depots for various item uploading. Saves me time in the early game (so I get 30/min instead of 15, etc). I could also upgrade it to 3-4 depots, but... heh, it was already enough.

[sullen gull]

Hrm, wish you could swap the incoming/outgoing ports on the drone port

[limpid cairn]

is there a way to get more custom swatches ?

[slender quest]

Mods, probably, devs decided to limit the total color swatch amount.

[leaden turret]

https://jobs.coffeestain.com/jobs/5541357-lead-designer

[sullen gull]

Utilize making "presets". You can have as many as you want of those.

[narrow elm]

Omg the blueprint created saves so much time

[sullen gull]

Would it be a bad idea/possible to have a settings to make Blueprint saves global? I.e, if a blueprint is already being used in the world, and you update it in the BPD, the changes are made there too?

[cunning glade]

how does one import blueprints

[sullen gull]

Copy them to %localappdata%\FactoryGame\Saved\Savegames\blueprints

[cunning glade]

i dont see that tho

[sullen gull]

But, you have to first make and save a blueprint in a blueprint designer for it to make the folder

[cunning glade]

i see

[sullen gull]

For each save

[cunning glade]

will i need too reload after

[sullen gull]

I believe so, yes. Make a bp, save it, exit, copy in "other's work" and load up the game 😏

do you feed the compacted coal byproduct from rocket fuel back to your turbo fuel section for more consistency or do you sink it for coupons

[atomic notch]

Compacted steel

[sullen gull]

I merge it back in, and tailer my CC production to match.

[vague jasper]

chat should i reroll, take stitched iron plate or copper rotors?

[hard ivy]

feed it back ofc. the points you'll get from that are negligible at that point

[sullen gull]

Allows for less bldgs making CC.

[hard ivy]

I'd take the plates

[sullen gull]

Or just leave it until you need one. You don't HAVE to pick a choice right now.

[vague jasper]

im starting on assembler automation

i think nows a good enough time personally

also added note i have the iron wire recipe already

ive got cast screws and iron wire on my first 2 drives and this is my third

[carmine musk]

When is satisfactory comming to xbox

[hard ivy]

#announcements

[sullen gull]

Again, as stated, you can eventually get all the recipies in the game. There are plenty of drives on the map. Just because it's in your list atm, unless you need it, just leave it (or reroll and leave that), and whatever is in the list doesn't come up in the next scan.

There is nothing you would ever really "miss out" on in the game with things like that.

[cunning glade]

ty

got my tracks i wanna use

[narrow elm]

[cunning glade]

uhh i lied it no work

they dont show up

C:\Users\AppData\Local\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames\blueprints\do whatever

thats where i put the files

[sullen gull]

There should be one more folder, with the name of your save

[cunning glade]

thats the file i have no?

[sullen gull]

#faq message

[cunning glade]

yeah they show up there

[sullen gull]

And, so long as you have logged into your save, built a mk1 BPD, saved it, inside of that Blueprints folder, there should be a folder with the name of your save. They go in that.

[cunning glade]

yeah thats what they're in

[flint flame]

wait im confused. why did css. choose to only do xbox and ps cross play and not cross play with all platforms. they use EOS which is full cross play compatible?

[sullen gull]

And you have reloaded? and hit Q and they don't show up under blueprints?

[limpid cairn]

is there a way to place a pipe junction that faces vertically with the outputs/inputs without a pipe?

no right

[cunning glade]

ye ill reload a 3rd time

[sullen gull]

Foundations or walls

[hard ivy]

put it on a wall

I would advise against using vertical junctions tho

[sullen gull]

Why?

[hard ivy]

they're bugged

[sullen gull]

Not for me 🤷‍♂️

[hard ivy]

their connections are not at correct elevation

Are your bluprints in their own folder in that folder?

[cunning glade]

do they need too be

[sullen gull]

Oh, yeah... that ... I remember that.

[sullen gull]

no

[cunning glade]

cuz no i dont

i have the .sbp and .sbpconfig files in there

[sullen gull]

Other wise, I would just say make a #1038092680493801533 post, with screen shots of the folder, and inside the game.

Also, if you see NOTHING when hitting Q and going to the blueprints tab, that means you havn't made/saved one lol

And by made, I mean putting down at least one thing (pipeline support with a 1m section of pipe is a great start) and save it with some name.

[cunning glade]

i did this

ill do it again

[sullen gull]

Otherwise, without knowing what you're looking at, not sure what more to tell ya.

[cunning glade]

I see the thing I made

But the thing I made is invisible

It just eats my resources and places nothing

25/6

[limpid cairn]

that means 25m^3 per min?

[hard ivy]

no, 25/6 m^3/min

4.1(6)

[obsidian hinge]

Man. If there was one easy, minor change I'd make to Satisfactory... it would be to double the efficiency of all refineries by default. The number of these things you need is stupid.

[limpid cairn]

agreed

im using 40 at 200% atm for 1 small powerplant

[obsidian hinge]

They're too big, the input-outputs are awkward, and their efficiency is so piss poor just using one 300 pipe of oil to its max is still like 40 freaking refineries

[rigid mist]

watching the factory cart be dumb will never not be funny

[obsidian hinge]

I even made this and I still hate refineries: https://satisfactory-calculator.com/en/blueprints/index/details/id/2738/name/Refinery+SuperCube

A giant cube of 16 refineries in one

[bronze oriole]

I have 15 for 450 oil scrap all the polymer and then have 28 Blenders so i can make power with 240 fuel generators and rocket fuel

[mortal summit]

[hard ivy]

[fossil ice]

[shy mulch]

Ooh only 872, I thought it would have been more, nice

[mortal summit]

oh damn thats a lot

[late dune]

Who manages the Wiki page?

[hard ivy]

Everyone can?

[late dune]

Oh..

[hard ivy]

the most I've ever had in one world is 1546. I also thought it'd be more tbh
hmm but it is more than 1/4 of all of the production machines lol

[obsidian hinge]

All they need to do is x2 the recipes and power, making two refineries function as one. Then we can overclock them to 4x efficiency. I'm honestly surprised it doesn't annoy enough other people to have made enough noise for them to do anything about it. The infinite spam of refineries stretching beyond the horizon is just absurdity. I don't even bother with the "pure" recipes except for maybe Quartz because I want to throw up every time I try to find somewhere to fit them.

[elder wing]

I’m trying the freight platform for the first time. I have an industrial storage going into the two inputs and two outputs going into another industrial storage. Why do my items from the input flow right through the platform and into the output storage container?

[hard ivy]

you can't both load and unload at the same platform

[elder wing]

Ah. Ok. Thanks!

[latent prawn]

no, back in the day, you just posted your code on a bbs and said 'hey guys, play with it' 🙂

[latent prawn]

there's a 'no track' selection in the music selector scroll through

iirc there's also a building specific volume setting for the elevator too in your prefs

[spark oracle]

Where is the music selector

[latent prawn]

at the bottom of the floor selection panel

[spark oracle]

Ohhh I see Idk why I thought ficsonova was the elevators name 😭

[latent prawn]

haha for me it was like 'oh cheesy play on bosa nova' which is a typical style for elevator musak

[obsidian hinge]

I want the Cisco VOIP hold song

[wheat yew]

I had a dream about satisfactory 2017 or 18 and now I NEED to see it

[obsidian hinge]

I kinda want to see Stellaris v1.0 but the Steam version rollback doesn't go that far

[hard ivy]

no pipes :bliss:

[wheat yew]

no power shards either :pain:

I just hope that mikael and/or jason make a video of the second year of satisfactory's development. Please guys, please.

[leaden turret]

second year of satisfactory's development was like.... ~7 years ago?

[wheat yew]

It's 8 I think

[late dune]

And I only just started playing 3 months ago

[wheat yew]

that's ok as long as you enjoy the game :)

[late dune]

Oh I love it

[obsidian hinge]

I started playing at U7 and still never finished the game lol

[leaden turret]

don't forget to eat/sleep/poop

[obsidian hinge]

I didn't really play much of U8 and 1.0 was spent mostly waiting for mods to update

[late dune]

Never!

[restive knot]

Is there any way to mirror a building? I want my foundrys output on the other side of where it is :(

[obsidian hinge]

I waste too much time in this game 'trying' to build nonsense and accomplishing nothing

[wheat yew]

I played in the alpha test weekend. That was fun. :)

[leaden turret]

🪞 🖥️

[hard ivy]

not without mods

[restive knot]

Time to build the whole factory mirorred I suppose

[obsidian hinge]

I'm like "hey I want a really nice looking set of factories along that ridgeline" and then spend two whole days messing with foundations only to realize my dumbass setup doesn't work and is going to be obsolete with the next tech level

[wheat yew]

#satisfactory-experimental message WOAH what the heck?

[restive knot]

I split my factory in 2 sides, 1 is just making some items for me to use (belt stuff and what not) and I never touch it again and the other makes spelevator parts and I completely rebuild it from scratch every tier xd

[obsidian hinge]

#satisfactory-experimental message - Bring back these splitters/mergers

I hate the bubbly round shape

[wheat yew]

I saved the inventory picture IMMEDIATELY. That's history on a discord server, of all places.

[obsidian hinge]

Actually how about we just go Dyson Sphere Program and get rid of the concept of splitter/merger altogether and just base it on what belts you feed it

SO I DON'T HAVE THE DELETE THE DAMN THINGS TO RUN THEM ANOTHER DIRECTION

[wheat yew]

that would be neat

[obsidian hinge]

Yeah.... it would...... sigh

[unkempt blade]

if anything they should be rounder! round is way more adorable

[carmine aspen]

can you load additional cargo onto a freight car that already has a load on it?

[mortal ginkgo]

I love how an inter galactic factory company does not use any sorter or inserter which are much more efficient than splitter spamming

I could understand using mergers. not splitters to feed factories is abit.. odd.

[rose lotus]

is my memory crap or have the spire coast oil nodes been significantly downgraded in 1.0 or 1.1

[shrewd palm]

they nerfed a lot of resources in 1.0

i cant remember if spire coast was on the hit list but almost every biome was

[rose lotus]

I watched the videos Snutt made in the leadup to 1.0

but I do not recall any mention of this

[shrewd palm]

you might be able to check the patch notes

[hard ivy]

there's 3.5k oil in there

[rose lotus]

I remember the central region having two pure two normal and an impure

now it has one pure two normal three impure

that is a large amount less than before, and spread across more nodes at that

[hard ivy]

no oil nodes or wells have been touched in 1.0

1 well has beed added

[obsidian hinge]

Looks like they were unchanged

[rose lotus]

hold on let me dig up the factory plan I made here in U8

[obsidian hinge]

I have it

[rose lotus]

https://i.imgur.com/qQxV5Kp.png

[solid storm]

Even with all machines fully overclocked and the 4 Somersloops, those Supercomputers take SOOOO long.

[rose lotus]

so I remembered fewer impures but there WERE two pures

the one off to the north remains pure, but I remember the one to the east also formerly being pure

[hard ivy]

there still are

[rose lotus]

this one https://i.imgur.com/qAawo3C.png

[obsidian hinge]

#screenshots message -- Top is 0.8 bottom is 1.1. Same nodes.

[hard ivy]

like I said, no oil nodes have been changed or moved between U8 and 1.0

[rose lotus]

oh the other pure is off the map for me

ok this is not in the same place I remember but it at least does exist

[spark oracle]

how do you guys feel about fine concrete vs wet concrete

[hard ivy]

def wet

though fine is heh... fine... before you have refineries

[spark oracle]

in almost every case wet is best but if I we're trying to get abosolutely as much concrete as possible for my limestone would fine be better

[obsidian hinge]

There's so much limestone I never saw the point

[spark oracle]

hypothetically I'm lazy and dont wanna find a 3rd limestone node and somehow evenly split it 😭

[hollow halo]

Eat all of it

[spark oracle]

i already took down my whole steel factory once i dont wanna do it again :(((((((((((

[fallen moss]

Chat question, how do industrial storage work in regards to both outputs being used?

[hard ivy]

one output gets priority, though if there's enough items both outputs will be used at max speed

but if you're feeding slower than you can output, only 1 output will be used

[fallen moss]

What does that actually look like, if say you have 2 mark 2 belts coming out of it?

Oh ok

Ty fren

[rustic hare]

well I got in a case where I fed slower and it acted like 2 seperate storages, so how many in the top, goes out the top, and how many in the bottom, goes out the bottom

I fed slower than it's extracting, but faster than 1 singular belt, but it didn't prioritize the lower belt like a belt compacter does, it spread the load to 2 belts like I just described above

[frail sleet]

cheap silica + fine concrete? 😄

I just go for wet though.

[limpid cairn]

at what tier do you get converters?

@glad drum how much fps do you even get with all those conveyors

[spark sky]

Oh this is frustrating. I'm trying to put an X pipe junction vertically, and it just wants to go horizontally.

If I put a floor hole for a pipe, it doesn't want to go on top of it (at least while it's trying to line up with the fluid buffer).

I did it before, but now I can't figure out how.

[upper gale]

Point at the side of a foundation and try placing the junction

[carmine aspen]

i think the building system needs to be a bit simpler, like click and drag when placing foundation, merge mode for pipes

[mortal summit]

am i the only one or is the base as pretty as possible and all the conveyor belts connected to various ressource nodes that go to the base are complete spaghetti?

[upper gale]

Yep real

[mortal summit]

also how tf is this game not lagging, like theres so much shit going on and its not even dropping a bit

[limpid cairn]

What tier are you at?

[mortal summit]

space elevator or hub?

[upper gale]

It is optimized pretty well
But you'll feel it eventually when you build a lot more

[limpid cairn]

Hub is tier based

Space elevator is phase based

[mortal summit]

tier 4 finished and everything automized that u can get at that stage. i know its pretty much early game but if this was an EA game id already be at 30fps

[spark sky]

Ah, I put a vertical pipe to put it on, then removed the pipe afterward.

[limpid cairn]

it’s because ea is just money hungry

[mortal summit]

i mean not only but basically everything AAA doesnt give a shit about optimizing

[limpid cairn]

imo every game where money hardly matters is way better than any big game from the big companies

[hollow halo]

Uhh what’s happening?

[mortal summit]

first time player being fascinated about how this game is running as smooth as it is

[hollow halo]

Oh yeah no fr it runs pretty smoothly on my potato computer

After messing with the graphics…

[upper gale]

Hundreds of items on conveyors and you can pick up each one, while game is looking graphically great

[dense violet]

the items on the belt aren't 'real' though

[upper gale]

It's a smart trick, but it feels real enough

[limpid cairn]

Well you still get over 15 fps with bad graphics

[dense violet]

oh sure.

[upper gale]

Peak game design

[hollow halo]

Yuh

[limpid cairn]

In ark I had to practically delete everything graphic wise to be able to have more than 10 fps in my base 🥴

[hollow halo]

Oh yummy…

I’ve run into the screws and beams problem…

[glad drum]

uhhh I haven't actually had any drops so... at least 60 lmao

It hasn't been an issue at all yet

[dense violet]

screws and beams?

[limpid cairn]

First of all, why did you decide to use screws?

[rare rivet]

is there like a known best way to split a fluid pipe's flow in half?

[hollow halo]

I’m early game…

[dense violet]

are you trying to load balance fluids? if so , don't it's not worth it

[dense violet]

but what's the actual issue?

[limpid cairn]

So?
You can use alts to remove screws from every recipe besides reinforced iron plates

[rare rivet]

kinda? i just cant fit 3 sources into 2 pipes, and running an extra pipe would suck greatly

[hollow halo]

I don’t have alts and everything uses screws 😔

[limpid cairn]

Go hard drive hunting

[hollow halo]

So I run into the problem of figuring out how many screws (and beams) I need to sustain everything

[dense violet]

just send rods to them and make the screws right before hand

and yeah, go hunt alts

[hollow halo]

How to alt hunt?

[dense violet]

explore and find crashed pods

[limpid cairn]

There are broken space ships around the world and you can open the container of them for hard drives which you can scan for alt recipes

[hollow halo]

Ohh so THATS what those are for…

[limpid cairn]

I recommend opening like 10 for every tier

[upper gale]

I don't really go alt hunting until I get harddrive scanning

Maybe if I see one here and there yeah

Plus by then you got better mobility options

[rare rivet]

i burned through like 30 hard drives just to get diluted fuel and recycled plastic/rubber

[dense violet]

thats extremely late, and yon can easily find them with basic exploration gear. They are litered everywhere

[upper gale]

It's not thaaat bad wait lemme check what it needs again

[limpid cairn]

Same here but instead for pure copper 🥴

[rare rivet]

we're running into a sulfur issue first lol, afaik you cant really boost that

[upper gale]

100 motors 100 crystal oscilators

[dense violet]

for what?

[rare rivet]

turbo fuel

[dense violet]

centre of the map. Oil sulfur and coal in one spot

[upper gale]

That's where I built mine yesterday yippee

[dense violet]

I think it might be the only spot with all 3 there

[rare rivet]

same, it's just scattered and without mk3 miners yet i need 2 impure nodes along with that normal node

[dense violet]

you're talking about a different spot then, as it's no scattered

[limpid cairn]

Nothing is scattered when you have trains

[rare rivet]

40/20 coords, pretty central lol

[shy mulch]

I gave up collecting all the SAM in the world on trains and just used an army of drones instead. Some of it is in really inconvenient places

[limpid cairn]

im importing every resource for rocket fuel besides oil lol

[rare rivet]

yeah, i'm just lazy

[narrow elm]

Hey guys so I recently created some blue prints nothing fancy just x6 constructers outputting 180 items a minute without overclocking should that last me very far into end game or will that not be sufficient enough

[rare rivet]

it'll get you through early game XD

[narrow elm]

Actually x8 but yeah I can over clock the system

[rare rivet]

reject overclock, embrace expansion

[narrow elm]

My x6 foundry is fully overclocked putting out 680 a minute

[limpid cairn]

Till you have to place a thousand refineries

[narrow elm]

I can’t be stuffed to go much bigger it’s better then the 5 module frames I was making a minute

[wicked nacelle]

blueprints don't "get you through the game" no matter what they are.

[rare rivet]

the map can prolly fit that

[wicked nacelle]

you can always put down more copies of them though

[wicked nacelle]

I couldn't imagine not overclocking.

[wicked nacelle]

it's just not fun though

[rare rivet]

oh yeah i'm just jokin here lol, you'd have to be insane

[limpid cairn]

Id be at the world boarder kinda 😅

[rare rivet]

especially when the shards arent finite

[narrow elm]

I didn’t intend for them to, I just couldn’t stand tearing my builds down every 2 minutes to change it, it’s just easier to upscale if you have blueprints so you can mass make one items

[upper gale]

So uh, when do you have to place this many

[rare rivet]

my main use for blueprints is just trains and single machines with i/o semi-setup already

[limpid cairn]

you normally don’t unless you are a maniac wanting to automated 100 nuclear pasta per min

But you’ll have to place a 100 sometimes if you don’t overlock them

[rare rivet]

can you even eat that much pasta that fast?

[upper gale]

Yeah I see

I usually do like 20 refineries around there, unless I'm working with some pure nodes

[rare rivet]

i think imma draw the line with my "save the power shards early game" mentality with my plastic and fuel factory with like 200 refineries and 100 fuel gens, i'm already going insane with this few

[feral inlet]

what would cause the game to try to load to the main menu but automatically load a save where it puts me under the map and it says player 257

has joined

It worked with all mods on before so Im not convinced its mods

[rustic hare]

UE5 nanites contribute to it, the game is well optimized, but global illumination + long light rays just totally wreck the gpu's performance

[feral inlet]

Im wondering if a clean install would help

[shrewd palm]

and also it will get much worse with large factories

[upper gale]

Squid game moment

[feral inlet]

is that legit or a refrence... either way I dont know what yuo mean

[upper gale]

Player 257 is a squid game reference

[feral inlet]

lol

[rustic hare]

257 is the name for an offline user by default I believe? my friend joined me while he is offline and in IP mode (we were on the same local network) so he had no connection to steam or epic, he also shown up as 257

[feral inlet]

oh so its a lack of a connection to epic

odd... How do I resolve that because I am connected to internet

[stray herald]

What in the spaghetti is going on in #screenshots

Talking about games in general, and somewhat satis

[carmine aspen]

You know what would be cool, an air compressor to put on hypertubes to give you a boost

[upper gale]

What kinda boost we talkin'

[carmine aspen]

Just enough to get you back to top speed when going up

[upper gale]

Oh yeah that would be nice, the current ones do help but not by a lot when going uphill

[shy fog]

speed matters very little in a properly cannonized hypertube

STOPPING however...

[upper gale]

No air brakes

[rustic hare]

I installed the A/D junction control mod, and exiting it just throws me into a wall lol

[limpid cairn]

I usually always bump into my space elevator to stop

[stray herald]

Are my signals correct here? https://discordapp.com/channels/370472939054956546/553550313533997057/1414423829245198466

I think it's a small question so didn't merit a whole question thread

[shrewd palm]

yes

it doesnt really matter for that setup but in general you want to put path signals in the entrances to intersections

[stray herald]

So no risk of collision if two trains each go on one of the stations?

[limpid cairn]

Not really

Place a block signal at the exit of the first train station

[stray herald]

Yes, I have 3-way intersections but I can't figure out how to do this specific situation

[limpid cairn]

The signals can block the trains

[stray herald]

When I do that the signal at the entrance of the first station says it loops on itself

[shrewd palm]

you'll want to put a rail going around the first station so that the second can get through without waiting on the first

although with block signals that shouldnt be a problem

[limpid cairn]

Rebuild it or put it a little bit back / in front

[shrewd palm]

are you doing a 2 way track or 1 track for each direction

[stray herald]

It's two lanes, the right lane goes forward

[stray herald]

I think this is what I should do, sadly I didn't consider this when I placed the first station

[shrewd palm]

ahh

[stray herald]

Just to be sure, it;s 'path' before lane splits, and 'block' after they merge, eh?

[shrewd palm]

in that case it seems that the signals are tweaking for some reason and im not really sure why

[shrewd palm]

ye

[rustic hare]

time to tear down tracks and place them back lol

[stray herald]

Yeah lol

[shrewd palm]

yeah there have been a few problems with trains since 1.1

[stray herald]

The entire first station gotta move

[rustic hare]

also why are you putting stations one after another?

[shrewd palm]

would be better just to put them beside each other and have a rail that splits off into both of them

[limpid cairn]

To maximise space efficiency ofc!

[rustic hare]

well that def does not look space efficient at all lmao

[stray herald]

I wanted two separate trains, the first train I have feeds to the oil fields to the west, I am making 250 aluminum casings that are to be shipped south towards the purple forest or whatever it's called. I just wanted the trains to avoid each other. I think I have the right idea just a bad execution

I have tracks I just need to figure out the station placement now https://discordapp.com/channels/370472939054956546/553550313533997057/1414426125731368970

[rustic hare]

also putting the exit facing your main railroad allows a buffer at the side for higher train throughput to not clog up your main line like I did here, still is using this layout for every one of my station and it's great
https://discord.com/channels/370472939054956546/1409600946404851894

last picture in the thread to be specific

[rustic hare]

then one train would wait on the other train loading/unloading if it came after the one that goes into the first station

[stray herald]

Yes that is true

[stray herald]

Thanks for the reference image:)

[shrewd palm]

#screenshots message this is usually what i do when i need multiple train stations

almost certain its not the best design but it works

[rustic hare]

yeah it'll work, for me I have a buffer line on the side, always, it's so that trains going into the station, waiting on other trains can have a place to be and not on the main track blocking other traffic

[stray herald]

I see

[shy fog]

meh... trains by doc https://www.youtube.com/shorts/S6S7VMCM4bg

[shrewd palm]

will figure out how to do that for my space elevator factory

probably gonna have a ton of trains coming through for that

[stray herald]

I love Doc

[rustic hare]

last time I tested with 5 trains back to back buffering, waiting on the station I'm glad I prepped in advance, my next move would be to make a central station that distribute specialized train's cargo into composite trains that can go into bases to save space on stations there

specialized:
3 freights of iron ingots
or 3 frieghts of quartz crystal

composite: 1 freight of steel, 1 of alu, 2 of iron, 1 of quartz

[shrewd palm]

usually i dont have enough trains on the network for that to be a problem but i might

going to need to bring in a ton of copper and a decent amount of SAM

also oil

[rustic hare]

I have quite alot of trains on the network due to low stack size items like ingots needing more frequent trips, which a central station will solve by having much higher train throughput than the station I currently have at the main base

[shrewd palm]

and maybe coal although i think the red desert has enough

[limpid cairn]

Wait you can use multiple trains for faster frequency?

This might fix my problem

[rustic hare]

yes, but only if your network supports such high freq without congestion

you can also add multiple slower freight stations to have a higher transfer size per train but I went with the 2x mk6 belts per freight method which minimizes the train length but maximize train count

[spark sky]

Well, I think I have a working Stacked Coal Powerplant blueprint. You have to put in the powerplants and connect the logistics, but it's tileable and consistant. #design-and-architecture message

[earnest oak]

anyone know why biofuel generators just stop using biofuel i still have like 8 of them and coal power but the bar aint going down

[spark sky]

Yes, they run when needed. If the others are supplying enough power, they will shut down.

[rustic hare]

cause they only use as much as needed to generate the power, if your coal is already exceeding machine usage then biofuel drops to none

[earnest oak]

ahh ok thought it was along the line of that thx

[rustic hare]

biofuel is the only generator that does that and it's by design, to save you from hand numbing sessions of leaf picking

one upside is that you can build as much biofuel gen as you need, as long as you can supply them, and they'll only ramp up when that capacity is needed

[earnest oak]

ya i just reached oil

any jetpack tips and how to use it first time unlocking it

[spark sky]

I have a biofuel powerplant that has 9 Biofuel Burners fed by a setup that makes the biofuel (fully slooped). The setup has 4 input storage units to put in the 4 different raw materials. These are powered by the biofuel burners on my HUB (the only thing the HUB powers). These are the backup for my Geothermal power (plus power storage). I've collected so much biological matter that I won't need to for a long time (though some gets collected along the way, anyway, so I just throw it in there).

[hard ivy]

Use packaged liquid biofuel as fuel

[earnest oak]

when i get there

[spark sky]

Speaking of... Will the Biofuel Burners use liquid biofuel, or just solid?

[hard ivy]

If it's packaged, yes

It'll eat your canisters tho

Can I put slugs on belts?

[sullen gull]

No. Can't post gifs here the normal way... so ya gotta click to see the sauce 🙂

[sullen gull]

Yes

Put them into a container to feed onto a belt.

[sweet tusk]

Sweet. I was hoping it could work that way

[glad drum]

Uhoh... GPU Crash dump triggered

[sullen gull]

Well, stop doing that.

[crisp edge]

You know, this is something that i never thought about or noticed, and would never have thought to mention to someone. though i can't see why it would be an issue, if you're packaging fuel you're usually not caring about getting the containers back

[sullen gull]

*Packaged Diluted fuel you are

[glad drum]

That'd mean I'd have to stop building spaghetti

[sullen gull]

Switch to Lasagna ... Garfield would be proud 🙂

[crisp edge]

this brings up an interesting(i think) question. is it faster to have trains just take liquid freight cars of fuel places or package it first? i'd assume liquid cars because packaging and unpackaging time, but i'm waiting for someone to tell me the cars load/unload 3x as fast when they're freight vs liquid, or that the time it takes liquid to pump out of the train station to a reservoir makes it less efficient than packaging

[glad drum]

Actually my main area may be so layered, it could be considered lasagna... but might need 1 more.

[spark sky]

Just glue elbow macaroni together.

[sullen gull]

Packaged get's more yeild afair

[crisp edge]

haven't done it yet, can you explain why?

[crisp edge]

oh you mean you can fit more liquid per car if it's in containers on a freight car?

[sullen gull]

Because usually you are packaging water and recycling containers. Though, in hindsight, that isn't fuel 🤣

[sullen gull]

If I recall correctly, yes.

[crisp edge]

yeah, i totally get why you'd want to make a closed system of containers in a water distribution network, but like you said, it's not fuel

[sullen gull]

And so long as you're buffering correctly, you can unpackage and recycle the containers to go back on the same line (with a seperate station)

I just can't seem to find a pleasing way to arrange these dump accelerators 😒

[glad drum]

#screenshots message --- man it takes FOREVER to build like this but the tentacle spaghetti god must be appeased

[sweet tusk]

If I use any kind of packaged liquid without unpacking it first, I don't have to deal with empty canisters being put back into an inventory, right? The canisters just get consumed with the fuel?

[glad drum]

DO THE CIRCLE! Is it not lining up?

[glad drum]

Once the machine is done drinking the liquid, it eats the container - think of them like bread bowls.

[sweet tusk]

Perfect. That's what I was hoping for

[glad drum]

Yeah it's only if you unpackage it do you have to worry about empties.

It's like, if you eat the soup, you eat the bread bowl, but if you take the soup out, you still have a soggy bread bowl to... do something with.

[sullen gull]

I can get it to be evenly spaced and all that jazz, Just not sure if I like the idea I have of building around it... I kind of want the hoops posistioned to be more of a "feature" to the front facing.... if that makes sense

[sweet tusk]

Now if I could just get an alternate recipe for containers, that would be fantastic ...

Yeah I kinda get that - what if you also made it a train-loop and have the train travel through all the loops? It doesn't solve your problem but it'd be cool

[sullen gull]

No train will be needed here. This is for singularity cells and Power shards ... at most, cells will be delivered by drone. All of the other buildings that will be part as well: #screenshots message

Though, I may bring in pressure cubes by drone as well ....

I lied, that's just the start for Sing Cells .... #screenshots message

I'll need another 8 for shards ....

can someone help me with my fuel factory

i dont understand why its not working lol

[dense violet]

show some overhead images in #math-and-meta

[meager patrol]

is there a command to fly

[restive river]

ZIPLINES! Are so fun

[dense violet]

no, use photo mode or build something tall

[sullen gull]

Lol, I was literally just going to say @dense violet would totally help 🙂

P, then R

[stray herald]

I attached some extra railroads to my intersection and the signs broke, I removed the extra rails and it still is broken even after replacing all the signals 💔

[stray herald]

YEAA

[dim flint]

Is there a reliable way to effectively make a fluid overflow junction?

I feel like I heard about using gravity to acomplish this, but I don't know how it interacts with pumps inline.

[spark sky]

I have never completed Phase 3 before.

[restive river]

its such a pain until you learn the scim for it

The real issue is space making

[spark sky]

But, as I said elsewhere, I'm taking my time. I spent a lot of time gathering lizzard doggos and Ficsmas Gifts.

Well, time to say goodnight. Morning comes early.

[restive river]

Ficsit does not consider sleep as productive methods of Ficsit manufacturing

[spark sky]

Yeah, I know. They said the same thing about Ficsmas.

[restive river]

lol , goodnight

[stray herald]

Sorry for the ping but how exactly are you doing the splitting? My stations won't snap properly to the rail

[sullen gull]

I just realized accellerators are a bit "forgiving" on thier hit box! ... woot.

[sullen gull]

They don't snap to a rail. You bring the rail to the station.

@glad drum Better maybe? #screenshots message

Or flip them so that all three circles are on the outside .....

[dense violet]

build the stations first

[stray herald]

Okay that's smart thanks:)

I got it working!

[warm phoenix]

Does anybody transport liquid with train, straight from the pipe or pack the liquid beforehand?

[dense violet]

you can do either. Both are fine

[dense violet]

some proper examples of buffering your train platforms for liquids #design-and-architecture message

[coral glacier]

Efficiency depends on your setup

[dense violet]

if it's gas though, package it

[warm phoenix]

I havent reached gas stage yet 😔

Currently thinking of re-planning the whole oil processing line

[coral glacier]

because nobody want to smell yo stink 👁️ 👅 👁️

😆

[dense violet]

mostly because gas doesn't work well with fluid buffers 😛

also I'd be surprised if Nitrogen gas smelled of anythng since the atmosphere is mostly n gas

[warm phoenix]

What does using buffers do?

[dense violet]

gas flow with buffers is just a mess

worse than with liquids

[coral glacier]

Doesn't really smell like anything since it makes up our atmosphere as a basic component, like water.

[whole drift]

Does anyone want to play Satisfactory together?

[dense violet]

[rigid glen]

Buffers theoretically prevent train stoppages by making sure the train depot is emptied out all the time, and it regulates the output to something regular and planned, not based on the actual arrival of products

I've never done one, but the theory seems sound

[sullen gull]

arrivial + the stopping of material when the train is unloading/loading

[void cliff]

Train output buffers are still limited by the belt speed, belts out of the freight platform will still stop for 30 seconds, thus still reduce your maximum throughput

[rigid glen]

for sure, it s all part of it

[void cliff]

Phase 4 my builds are turning into spaghetti again, dang it. Just keep scabbing on to the same factory

[crisp edge]

idk why you'd immediately jump to mk6 belts. i feel like a common speed to assume would have been mk4, maybe mk5, but i can't be the only one who's never unlocked mk6 yet

[meager patrol]

should i be using pipe pumps even if they are flat for long distances?

[warm phoenix]

Iirc no unless to prevent reversing

I suck at piping so don't take my word for it

Re: radiation
I'm reading things that claim both that radiation fields from individual ISCs do and do not combine their radiation to increase the radius of the field. Is that something that changed at some point?

[covert vault]

hmmm, another thing I just thought would be really nice in the game, being able to see your train tracks on the map

I'm trying to build a new station near some oil, but not sure where the nearest tracks are to head towards.

[crude cave]

Why does the petroleum power milestone give you caterium ore scanning? Would you already have unlocked it though the MAM by then?

[dense violet]

some people don't do the mam beforehand. So this pushes them to it

[cunning siren]

Is coral farming a good way to get "early" Blade Runners?

[dense violet]

I mean if it's there why not? I just find a quartz node, help unlock the basic mam stuff

[cursive crane]

I mean you can get bladerunners early af by just going and grabbing them

[surreal meteor]

How should I go about building in the northeast desert region? Should I just build a huge layer of foundations on top of it?

Actually, a factory suspended by pillars would look pretty cool

[dense violet]

I probably wouldn't stress about it tooo hard early on. Just build and learn

[feral geyser]

That's what I usually do, go about 20 meters above the dunes and lift everything up to you.

The problem is making enough concrete to do that early game, you got hit up several limestone veins, including the pure one by the lake.

Plus, tractor highways and rails will be easier on an elevated flat level

[surreal meteor]

Or maybe a few small elevated platforms

[dense violet]

you're very on early in the tiers?

[surreal meteor]

I began moving to the desert after finishing Phase 1.

Thought it would be flatter than this

[dense violet]

? just build up. Having flat spaces is very easy

[rustic pier]

So i made this monster with 4 manufacturers.. with a few lines that can use multiple inputs. I have to flip splitters manually and clear the lines if i switch recipies.. wosh i had like a main command console for the splitters at least 😆 anything that was not pulled for production from the belts is cycled back into the system. I have containers for the resource feeds, and containers for the production which also can be tied into production… >.>

[peak wasp]

afternoon, pioneers

[sour vessel]

[unborn oar]

after a long ban i am back

[limpid cairn]

holy is rocketfuel op

[limpid cairn]

how do you even get banned on official game discords

[smoky forge]

yes, but dont get your hopes up with ionised fuel

[limpid cairn]

i already know that ionized fuel is not good for energy sadly 😔

also, when im producing 200m^3 of fuel per min the flow rate in that specific pipe should be at 200m^3 flowrate right?

now the question is

how do i get 600 power shards

[true mulch]

Spire coast and craft shards in a slooped constructor

Or reevaluate it you really need to OC that much 🤣

If it'll take longer to gather that many slugs compared to just building more generators, you're not really saving time by building less generators

[hollow halo]

I fear I’m tired but I’m not tired enough to sleep. Should I go back to playing satisfactory

[crude cave]

Sleep isn't very time effective anyways

[hollow halo]

Hm.. yeah- but I also have school tomorrow

[shy mulch]

Constantly change time zones, move around the world every hour, so it always night time. Then you don't have any work/school

[limpid cairn]

i refuse to build another 300 generators

i dont have that much space....

[hollow halo]

Seems much more of a hassle.. not very efficient pioneer…

[limpid cairn]

school is optional, 1.1 is only here once.

[oblique aspen]

just build on top of the previous 300

[hollow halo]

Tbh.. I just need my save to be accessible from both my steam deck and pc

[true mulch]

2nd floor

[hollow halo]

Also what’s a good way to go hard drive hunting?

[dense violet]

jet pack, blade runners, gun, zip line, medical inhaler and go

also the parts you need to open them

[hollow vector]

so just a bunch of misc parts

[midnight vessel]

And if you find one requiring parts you dont have, pin it and name it after the required parts (example: HD:SuperComputerX10)

[hollow halo]

Oh yummy…

[midnight vessel]

also, if you have the blueprinter(s), make a blueprint for a biofuel power plant and carry some fuel and the parts required for that BP so you can open ones with power requirements on the spot (avoiding having to build 1 time use power lines from your factory)

[smoky forge]

no

[sour vessel]

Does anyone know if there's a way to see the full changelogs from U4 -> 1.1? I'm kinda curious what all has changed since my last playthrough, but I don't want to have to click through several changelog pages 😅

[smoky forge]

it can wobble between 0 and 600 still

[midnight vessel]

Once you get hammerspace, you'll have to worry less on which parts you need to bring

[native cradle]

There isn’t, but id recommend just looking at the main features of each update to save time rather than reading the full patch notes

Or just start a playthrough blind

[minor rock]

it's never too late to buy a gpu

what if you die tomorrow, without owning a 5090

[sour vessel]

sounds good, just thought it'd be neat to like select a version, and compare all the changelogs

I've already started a blindish playthrough, but still would like to know if anything crazy has changed

[dense violet]

they should be on the wiki?

[native cradle]

A lot crazy has changed

[sour vessel]

it is, just didnt want to have to click through several pages 😅

[native cradle]

You should be good with a blind playthrough and then just check the wiki if you see something new

[dense violet]

trying to ask on here for a non page solution is probably more work than clicking your mouse a few times

[sour vessel]

I thought the dimensional depots were pretty cool

[sour vessel]

no ik, i was just curious lol

wasn't asking all of chat for a full changelog, just asking if there was a way to compare versions and see all the changelogs between

[keen jacinth]

Drones are a pain to work with

[sterile blade]

No, there is no automatic system to do that

[shy mulch]

Drones are one of the simplest transportations to work with

[keen jacinth]

Fuel is something, and this is someone whos dealing with them for the first time

[dense violet]

drone the fuel in

[shy mulch]

Fuel is the only issue. Place a drone port at the product source, place a drone port at the destination, figure out the fuel, done

[keen jacinth]

i did that but i'd need an extra platform and drone for every platform

[dense violet]

that's why you generally try to sort things out so you have spots where multiple drones share a location. That way you only need 1 fuel drone for each one node

[shy mulch]

Make a fuel plant with an array of drones that send out fuel to each of your ports

[dense violet]

if you have a lot of A to B flight points , yeah you'll need a lot of fuel drones. but that's also very easy

[keen jacinth]

I guess

i'll probably sort out a blueprint for the fuel

cause it might clog up the incoming inventory

[dense violet]

it has a dedicated fuel port?

[keen jacinth]

its a shame i cant have a drone go to one spot then to another then back to its original port

[dense violet]

that would be much worse

you'd shrink each individual drone's throughput which isn't huge in the first place and use a ton more fuel picking it up every go

worse in every single way

and each landing take off sequence takes a full minute so you'd have to have a bunch of fuel drone ports to avoid traffic jams

[limpid cairn]

holy its crazy how much quartz purification takes

i need 2700 quartz per minute

[dense violet]

well, it has a total output of both silica and crystal that's higher than doing them individually? just depends on you needing both

can someone help by any chance

im confused 😂

[silk ocean]

You need a drone on the platform to interrogate I think

[sour vessel]

i love interrogating drones... they always steal my stuff and i need to know where they put it

[reef basin]

what do you want to know from them?

[jade frigate]

I do have

[limpid cairn]

what clock rate they are using since 1 crystal computer produces 3.33333 computers per min

[silk ocean]

Try interacting with the drone on the platform

[limpid cairn]

also when i place 3 assemblers at 100% clock speed do they produce 10 computer or 9.99999 computers per min?

[reef basin]

and why is that a problem?

[jade frigate]

nvm, I just pressed F on the drone and I just realised the items are collected in drone first, not in platform

But is it possible to see somehow the drone's inventory?

[limpid cairn]

using excess computers for different things

but i think i found a fix

[reef basin]

10

[limpid cairn]

or that fixes my issue

[hard ivy]

100%?

[silk ocean]

I will fire up the game and check xD

[hard ivy]

F

[silk ocean]

...for respects

[jade frigate]

You don't need to, there is no inventory I think

but ty

[silk ocean]

The game should be running anyway, it's an abomination not to have it using the CPU and GPU xD

[hard ivy]

there is an inventory. you can even see it in SCIM. you just can't open it in-game for some reason

maybe because they don't want people manually adding items directly to the drone

[silk ocean]

Yea can't seem to see how much is on the drone

[hard ivy]

you can with dismantle mode

[silk ocean]

Another reason why Trains are the greatest and drone are in the gutter XD

[silk ocean]

Oh yes, nice

[shy mulch]

Bahhh I'm stuck at work and actually have things to do, but I want to play games. Adulting sucks

ngl i wish i would be allowed to work but sadly im underaged 😭

[shy mulch]

Hah, they already sent me 2 laptops, unfortunately neither of them are any good for gaming 😛

[shy mulch]

I'd be happy to swap. Working isn't as fun as you think it is

[silk ocean]

and of course you would definitely need supporting equipment, like an ultrawide, 1000W PSU and a new motherboard and 9950X CPU xD

[limpid cairn]

well everytime i had an internship it was hella fun

[silk ocean]

and you can't render engineering diagrams without at least 64GB main memory XD

Don't forget the secondary storage - couple of 4TB NVME PCI-E 5.0 SSDs xD

[limpid cairn]

where are you working btw

like not company, more as in job

[shy mulch]

I am tempted to get a new rig, currently with a 4070 rtx, 16gb, it's really struggling with my megafactory

[shy mulch]

I am an implementation consultant in finance sector. Companies who are trying to set up large scale payment acceptance systems come to me for technical assistance and guidance

[silk ocean]

You can't possibly do engineering diagrams without at least 1 ultrawide and 3 4K secondary panels xD

[shy mulch]

Convincing them I need to do engineering diagrams at all would be the first hurdle lol

[limpid cairn]

no wonder you dont want to work that sounds hella boring

if water/copper/iron are both right by eachother would a pure or alloy version give the most of both?

[sturdy gate]

Did yall know that the industrial fluid buffers texture has a hole in the middle of each of the 4 sides

[deep pier]

ok thanks(AND WTF IS THAT TAG?)

[hard ivy]

pure

[shy mulch]

you can easily do the calculation to see what would give more, with a very simple recipe like this it's useful to work it out yourself, as it's good practice for when recipes get more complicated later in the game

[silk ocean]

Don't any of the alts that involve water usually yield more

[limpid cairn]

I have worse ones Dw

[shy mulch]

it's a very long time since I used an industrial fluid buffer, so haven't noticed, still not really sure what the use case is for them

[limpid cairn]

The formula is

output / input

Right ?

[shy mulch]

any problem that can be solved by using a fluid buffer, can also be solved by designing your pipes better

[silk ocean]

I use them out of train fluid stations because you can't pump a constant 600 out of one, so I double pump and buffer, and the more trains you add the more downtime you get

[shy mulch]

fluid train stations are horrible, why not package?

[true mulch]

Freight platforms and temporarily for pre-filling setups

[dense violet]

Except for Trains

[true mulch]

How so?
