satisfactory

[dense violet]

then turn down the music, for this

[unkempt blade]

but... I want to party while I drive my carts around

I have to play cotton eye joe at maximum volume or I'll literally die

[cunning glade]

There was a reason I check this before finishing it cuz I was unsure if it was gonna work I'll be fine

[cunning glade]

I can't do that or I'll either destroy my headphones or ears idk which first if not both but I don't wanna test this

But at half volume my headphones are almost too loud if not are too loud

I am curious how loud they can get but I don't wanna risk it

[unkempt blade]

it's concert rules so you should really be wearing ear protection while you listen to cotton eye joe at maximum volume

[cunning glade]

I honestly would need that if I did max volume

I like having a powerful amp

Nice audio setup and a good display is peak PC gaming tbh

My next setup is either custom made stats or he1000

Imo I wish the music was louder for this game

Like it's so quite it's a really nice sound track just u can never hear it

[smoky nimbus]

anyone know why my trains are saying "signals are making next stop unreachable"?

[cunning glade]

Cuz signals make ur next stop unreachable obviously

[unkempt blade]

probably one of...

1. the signals where your train is trying to go are wrong somehow
2. your track is incomplete
3. your stations is facing the wrong way

[smoky nimbus]

station was wrong way around, thanks

[mortal ginkgo]

You are wrong completely. What he is wrong at is that he is using trains and not carts.

👍

[stark summit]

man's spittin' facts

[smoky nimbus]

i use carts for my power slug and remains processing

[mortal ginkgo]

Ikr brotherman

[stark summit]

trains go choo, carts go weewooweewoo

[unkempt blade]

It's ok, I can spread the gospel of carts while still meeting people where they are 😆

[stark summit]

unless you get golden carts...

then it's DISCO NIGHT

[hearty plank]

yo, this chat is actually alive... prod~ prod~
-# please check out my thread, i need mutliple people

[unkempt blade]

I'm not sure what your thread is about but the answer is probably using more factory carts

[upper gale]

Forgot about it but this comment reminded me again

[hearty plank]

#1416169967786790942 <<-- btw

but actually, this is somehow a great recommendation -- ill see if i fit it in

[stark summit]

Carts are excellent at carrying super-low volume, very important parts, like fuel rods, nuclear pasta, etc

[deep pier]

best thing to sink to farm tickets after the reanimated sam?

[smoky nimbus]

fixonium fuel rods

[deep pier]

'_' NEVER COOK AGAIN

[shrewd palm]

ballistic warp drives (trust)

gotta go for like 50/min

[smoky nimbus]

fear

[frail sleet]

sadly ficsonium isn't even good for sinking (it clogs sinks)

[unkempt blade]

yeah all the spaceship parts are good for sinking once they've served their purpose

[cunning glade]

Okay so I have autosave on 120mins and it feels like every 5 mins I get a freeze like it's saving any ideas?

[smoky nimbus]

i'm going to laugh when your game crashes and you lose hours of progress.

[cunning glade]

My game doesn't crash

[frail sleet]

yet

[smoky nimbus]

yet

[cunning glade]

My game however does freeze if I tab out

[strong coyote]

Someone in my server placed down a blueprint, and crashed the game

[deep pier]

I am not a professional this is just a guess but maybe your pc been running for too long

[cunning glade]

Not on a server and I def won't crash after 1.0 it's been much better

[smoky nimbus]

how long has your game been running

[unkempt blade]

Is there stuff running in the background that might be hogging resources? 5m feels short for that sort of thing though

[cunning glade]

Cant u check this in task Manager

[frail sleet]

1.1 AFAIK still has a bug which causes runaway uobject generation until the game crashes

harder to get it on empty worlds but i had it every half hour while working on my power plant

[cunning glade]

No

[frail sleet]

i use like 999999999999999999 uobject cap now, so it slows down instead of crashing

[cunning glade]

I did build a big train grid but this is like the autosave where it freezes for a whole couple seconds

Maybe my CPU is just shit

[smoky nimbus]

are you running the game on a hard drive

[cunning glade]

Only have 3 ssds so no

[smoky nimbus]

or your windows installation

[cunning glade]

I do wanna verify it's on my fastest one tho rq

My PCs been on 13 hours

[smoky nimbus]

restart it

[hearty plank]

overused pfp alert

[frail sleet]

i used it first

[cunning glade]

Will moving my game fuck up anything mod wise

It did in cyberpunk that wasn't fixable cuz I had 600 mods there this is cuz I have like 10

I think the game is actually on my slowest ssd

It isn't on my p5 plus

[frail sleet]

I don't think so, you can always test it with copy/paste.

Regardless of the game location, it reads/writes from some user folders on your OS drive

[cunning glade]

Ight

[hearty plank]

heheheheehhe

[cunning glade]

This isn't using vortex so who knows

[rugged ore]

Would yall consume soup flavored peeps

[cunning glade]

I don't eat peeps so no

Okay moving the game def feels like it helped load times

Okay so didn't solve the freeze issue but I just hit 6mins in the game and it happened so def is the autosave

[cunning siren]

Hypertube cannons are not very "speed limited" vs. "normal hypertubes"? Or is there a way to make "normal hypertubes" faster?

[cunning glade]

Mods

[cunning siren]

Bleh screw that

[frail sleet]

multiple entrances chained before a regular hypertube

[cunning glade]

That's what I did atleast

With how easy they are too install ion mind

[cunning siren]

OH so a cannon before normal tube? 🤔

[cunning glade]

Plus then u can add ones that are really just game features the devs forgot like inf nudge

And inf zoop too tbh

[cunning siren]

MegaZoop would be nice

[cunning glade]

It's super easy u just install satisfactory mod manger

So I rec but obviously up too u

Some very very nice qol life mods

[cunning glade]

Plus most mods are pretty balanced tbh as they have u research them in the mam or as milestones

[boreal musk]

infinite nudge already ingame since 1.1 tho?

[cunning glade]

Oh it got added well my bad

[cunning glade]

Inf nudge I think is still valid cuz it allows smaller increments

Also allows other things too be nudged that can't normally so idk I have it and still think it's valid

[shrewd palm]

and with infinite nudge you can also rotate things vertically

[cunning glade]

Mods are just perfect for this game

Like I normally prefer a unmodded game for first playthrough but with this game there's so many just qol and fun ones that's its kinda like why not

As long as it doesn't alter the gameplay a huge amount I see no harm

[dire harness]

what generates more power hor to fuel ( direct ) or hor to coke and coal gens?

[shrewd palm]

next playthrough i do im gonna do it without mods so long as i can create different instances of the game

[shrewd palm]

hor to fuel through diluted fuel

[cunning glade]

I believe so u can play modded or unmodded it's an option in the mod Manager

And make profiles

[dire harness]

not what I asked x:

[shrewd palm]

problem is that my main save unfortunately relies on mods

[dire harness]

I have residual fuel, or petro coke.

[shrewd palm]

i could get rid of a fair bit of them but i have a mod that does stuff to my wires/belts/pipes that if i were to get rid of would take out like half the belts/wires and stuff in that save

[shrewd palm]

you get WAY more power out of fuel gens so go with those

each one gives you 250mw compared to a coal generators 75

[violet schooner]

Ive recently lost my phase 2 save and i dont feel like redoing it does anyone have a phase 2 save with factorys i could use

[shrewd palm]

i also have daisy chain everything which if i were to uninstall would nuke like every 2 out of 3 factories in my save

[cunning glade]

I have a decent save around phase 2 I could share

Not the best but I don't think it's horrible and better than starting over

[violet schooner]

sure,i think thats good if i could use it

[cunning glade]

Ye someone tell me rq what do I do too share it just the . Sav file right

[hearty plank]

is this what a normal first world is meant to look like?? ( #screenshots )

#screenshots message

[dire harness]

I guess I'll have to do the math.

[shrewd palm]

even if you're making more coke a fuel gen is making 3.3x more power than a coal plant

so ig you'd have to make that much more coke than fuel to even them out, and you'd need to make water extractors so it would use more power

[violet schooner]

i think you get the ..ssav and upload it to a website like google drive then snd the link

[dire harness]

wiki says as of 4.0 it is slightly less efficient.

[deep pier]

for the smart spilliter does the overflow count undenifed stuff?

[cunning glade]

Check dms if u haven't

[dire harness]

but anyway, 1 hor = 3 petcoke or it's 1.5 hor = 1 fuel

[shrewd palm]

anything that cant go out the other holes will go out the overflow hole

[deep pier]

ok thanks

[neon trellis]

Does anyone know how to align vertical splitters/mergers to machine inputs? They always snap 1m up or 1m down.

[stray herald]

Can you show a screenshot?
Nice pfp BTW

[shrewd palm]

1 coal gen eats 25 coke/min, and 1 fuel gen eats i think 20 fuel/min

[neon trellis]

Thanks, you too.

[dense violet]

there's lots of ways to make fuel

and 1 fuel gen makes a lot more power than 1 coal gen

[stray herald]

Try to press H, it holds the hologram in place, then you can nudge it with page up and page down. I believe if you hold control while nudging, it reduces the nudge distance. Hopefully that fixes it. Otherwise, build a floor to align them, then dismantle it

[neon trellis]

You can't nudge vertical splitters for some reason.

[dense violet]

but just sink the coke.

[stray herald]

Oh

[neon trellis]

it says "must be built on a lift"

[dense violet]

You'll get a lot of points @dire harness and you won't have a 'temp' power station

[neon trellis]

ctrl+pageup gets it in the right position, but it won't let me place it.

[stray herald]

Yeah I just tried. That's awkward

[dire harness]

I think I'm going to unlock fuel gens and go that route. I'm not doing any kind of big build on this save.

[shrewd palm]

#math-and-meta message this is what it would look like with 600 oil

[dense violet]

having dedicated power station, disconnected from production, is a pretty good idea too

[dire harness]

it'll just contribute to the total power.. I probably need 15-20gw total.

maybe more or less.. the goal is just to complete the game xD

[shrewd palm]

20gw is not going to be enough to beat the game but it will be enough to get you going for a while

[dire harness]

it might be.

[dense violet]

eh, I finished the phases with 30 without worrying much. 20gw is very doable

[dire harness]

my previous save had the bulk of the production taking place on ~15gw

[deep pier]

is there a way to hide the antenna on the awsome sink or do I need to make a whole other floor?

[shrewd palm]

that probably would have been pretty barebones tho, no big projects or anything right?

[shrewd palm]

more floor

[dire harness]

only complete the game.. or just have the parts in production

[shrewd palm]

if you're going for small amounts of space elevator parts and only going 1 at a time you can probably do it then

[dire harness]

after the last space elevator parts are automated I'll probably stop.

[shrewd palm]

but wheres the fun in going 1 at a time when you can make like 10/min of each

the more ambitious you get the more fun this game is imo

[dire harness]

you're more than welcome to come and play on my server. I don't have time to build giant factories anymore. xD

[shrewd palm]

maybe, but im pretty deep into my own world now

gonna get phase 5 started soon

[dire harness]

I get roughly 4 full days off a month, plus all the other life stuff. Maybe if we get covid 2.0

[shrewd palm]

what do you do?

for work*

[dire harness]

drive a truck moving equipment.. and hvac on the side

[shrewd palm]

ahh

[mortal ginkgo]

do a truck-only play in satisfactory

I am sure you can handle it considering real life experience 🙂‍↕️

[limpid cairn]

20gw is enough to make it to my phase 4

[shrewd palm]

might not be enough for phase 5

assuming you're at full efficiency thats enough for like

[dense violet]

just build low parts per min

[shrewd palm]

a couple quantum encoders and a few converters

[lament niche]

I've been running into that today then

[cunning siren]

Woh... full moon light looks nutty with HDR turned on

[somber quartz]

can u not transfer nitrogen with trains anymore?

does anyone know?

[dapper seal]

you can package fluids and transport them that way, for sure.

ive heard you can transport liquids in trains, but ive never seen anyway other than packaged.

theres no fluid connector on freigh stations sooo

[somber quartz]

yeah

like i used to be able to transfor it with the fluid platform

[dapper seal]

would be nice to get a small train update to include fluid cars

[somber quartz]

but now it doesnt go into it at all

[dapper seal]

since they do actually exist

[somber quartz]

yeah

[dapper seal]

fluid freight platforms?

[somber quartz]

yeah thats what im useing

it does go into it at all

id send a pic but i cant send pics here

for some reason

[dapper seal]

okay i must be dumb or something, ive gotten to the end of the final phase a ton of times

ive never seen fluid freight platforms

[somber quartz]

lol

[dapper seal]

O.O

omg

[somber quartz]

yeah they're not very efficent cuz u lose alot along the way

but when im trying now i cant do it at all

[dapper seal]

they are right there.. in the build menu, wow. im gonna go sit in a corner with a dunce cap

well with that knowledge, have you tried d/c and reconnecting your fluid ?

[somber quartz]

lmfao

i have no clue what that is

[dapper seal]

this game has weird bugs with fluid/pipes

sometimes ive had to delete / replace certain pipes

because there was no flow for w/e reason

[somber quartz]

yeah ive tried that

[dapper seal]

did you power the platform?

sorry covering all the basics first

[somber quartz]

all the fluid does industrial fluid buffer

or the nitrogen i mean

and from there it doesnt go into the fluid freight platform

[dapper seal]

did you power the fluid frieght platform?

seems basic, and im sure you did, but id like to eliminate that as a possible cause

[somber quartz]

yep its powered

[dapper seal]

what about deleting the platform?

[somber quartz]

ive tried

[dapper seal]

dang

[somber quartz]

ive deleted everything and replaced it

[dapper seal]

i googled and found this; Fixed it by changing the direction of the train station connected to the freight station and also took the tracks off and connected them again. Worked for me

hope it helps

[somber quartz]

okay nvm it worked now

i deleted the train station and replaced that too

and it started working

[dapper seal]

yeah theres some weird bugs behind the scenes

i wont complain about them though

the games too good, bugs or not

[somber quartz]

ive never tried that before thats so fucking weird

[somber quartz]

yeah im loving it

idk what im gonna do when i complete it lol

[dapper seal]

start sinking everything

and get 2500 coupons in depot

[somber quartz]

sinking?

[somber quartz]

already working on it

[dapper seal]

AWESOME SINK

[somber quartz]

ive gotten 1k so far

oh right

[dapper seal]

nice but it only counts for 2500 if youve also purchased everything in the shop

[coral glacier]

Can ficsonium fuel rods be sunk?

[dapper seal]

😛

[somber quartz]

i see

[rigid glen]

I need 550ish on my main save to get the last achievement

[somber quartz]

oh i see lol

[dapper seal]

afaik everything can be sink'd except nuclear waste

[coral glacier]

what does afaik mean?

[dapper seal]

as far as i know

[coral glacier]

ah

[rigid glen]

There is a list with points in the wiki if you're really curious

[dapper seal]

also, i tend to only sink super comps, they have the best payout VS cost

well maybe not the best, but its pretty easy to get a ton of em, and they turn out alot of coupons quickly

[coral glacier]

An awesome sink takes up way less space than a reactor, so i was wanting to do that instead of taking up unnecessary space with a bunch of reactors. :P

Plus, reactors don't give me tickets :)

[cunning siren]

Can trains run on a single track with only two stations? on either end? Like with Locomotives on either end?

[rigid glen]

I think single track systems use a loop at each end, not sure if your description is feasible

[dim flint]

You can make push-pull trains.

[cunning siren]

Ok, must be my track is busted

Nope, track is connected 🤔 maybe the stations need to be in a fancy setup?

[dim flint]

Make sure your stations are facing outwards.

[cunning siren]

OH

[dim flint]

Think of it this way. When the train decides it's next stop, it must be able to go into the station it's trying to get to the correct direction.

[cunning siren]

Like towards each end?

[dim flint]

<station ----- station>

Oh and you need an engine on both ends of your train each facing outwards.

[heavy pine]

Is there a way to reduce the effects displayed when placing blueprints in quick succession? I don't need to see all that concrete spewing out of my storage every time I place some roads.

[cunning siren]

Do I have to power all the stations?

[dim flint]

They are one connected grid through the tracks. You can use a train station to power your factories in fact.

[cunning siren]

Hummm ok, train is powered through other station so track is connected but says it can not reach other station 😭

[solid grail]

[limpid cairn]

ficsodium

[dim flint]

I mean, I just made a dummy test of two station and a train going back and forth between them, so I know it still works.

[cunning siren]

Yep, mistakes were made. Other stations was facing wrong way 😆

[glad drum]

#screenshots message --- okay I made a water/fuel tower (albeit an unconventional looking one) so I didn't need to use a ton of pumps as it travelled across my world but only some of them are filling -- do I just have to wait for all the pipes to become saturated and it takes a while?

or does it look like something wrong? Maybe just the way the pipes are filling due to my wacky pipe placements?

edit: ugh nevermind I'm not sinking the plastic/rubber so I think it backed up, I'll do that first then see what's up

[limpid cairn]

btw when are you moving the buildings off the ground to cause more chaos

[glad drum]

WELL I'm glad you asked - I have a few buildings off the ground but I didn't love the look of it. --- I still do it a little bit, but when it's spread out, it's easier to appreciate the mess

[glad drum]

#screenshots message - I've got a couple Assemblers like this above catwalks, makes for a nice makeshift tunnel to have to walk under em

[limpid cairn]

🫡

[glad drum]

#screenshots message --- there's also THIS --- I made my modular frame assemblers ON TOP of my coal generators... I still like this but man it's hard to get a good screenshot ft. my STACKED AWESOME SINKS and a little constructor making biofuel canisters up above)

if you have any ideas I'm so down

[limpid cairn]

honestly how do you even keep track of anything 😭

[limpid cairn]

color the buildings maybe

like all different colors

[glad drum]

#screenshots message -- i saw someone on reddit did this with 9 foundries and i liked the idea

I color my pipes! but yeah maybe coloring some of the machines and belts would be cool too --- plastic, blue etc

[glad drum]

its not so bad - I do tend to keep my storage near my HUB and once I finish something, I tend to not touch it again LOL

for now im just trying to get my fuel pipes all filled and working so my plastic/rubber doesn't stop 🙁 #screenshots message

[solid grail]

🤨🤨

[glad drum]

I think it's starting to work! 😄

[shy fog]

I must confess that it feels like some pasta

[glad drum]

Pasta is an exquisite dish loved by the world so thank you

Though, I will admit, I forgot to leave space for my HUB drop-pod flyer thing to fly up so I'm moving some conveyors right now

[swift turret]

Does anyone know if they patched the extreme vivid colors thing

I can't seem to get the black color for concrete that i want

[glad drum]

I do believe it still works --- the whole +999 saturation/contrast thing?

[swift turret]

Yeah

Oh nvm I missed the other color section

[glad drum]

#screenshots message - drop pod will no longer clip, thank god - needs to have a safe flight

[swift turret]

If they do patch it I'll crash out, become coffee studio ceo and have them readd it idk feeling quirky

[neon trellis]

Is there a way to get conveyor lifts to autoconnect in blueprints?

i.e. between floor holes/ splitters/mergers

[dense violet]

only between belts

[limpid cairn]

does anyone know how present cooling systems are in tier 9?

[dense violet]

have a look at the item on the wiki. Im' sure like a lot of thigns it'll depend on the alt recipes you choose

[limpid cairn]

its only 3 recipes and one of them is OC supercomputer, rest is for building

[dense violet]

seems straight forward then

OC supcomps is a fairly niche recipe too

[limpid cairn]

its too expensive for me

especially when i dont have a lot of cooling systems or radio control units

[dense violet]

it's used with some turbo motors and thermal propulsion too

[cunning siren]

Gas filters automated! The towers that fart tremble in fear! 😆

[limpid cairn]

Does someone know how fast drones condone rocket / ionized fuel

[dense violet]

on the drone page

possibly fuels

[feral geyser]

Hell yeah, and you can now use gas nobs to take care of Hatcher nests

And then iodized filters are just one more machine, some quickwire and some casings, split your filters, and boom.

[cunning siren]

Oh yea, I guess I've never used the fart grenades 🤔

[limpid cairn]

How possible is it to automate 100 ficsodium per minute ?

[cunning siren]

Probably not enough SAM on the map

[feral geyser]

They kill the wasps instantly, so you effectively disable the hatchers until you kill them all. Or, you make a smoke bubble for yourself and shoot out for it.

[cunning siren]

Maybe I'll give that a shot

[feral geyser]

You just need regular nobs and biomass

[limpid cairn]

Let me check

the satisfactoy calculater doesnt let me calculate ficsodium

[feral geyser]

Try fiscoNium

[limpid cairn]

i also just realised that theres an N instead of a D lol

it still wont let me calculate it

same for plutonium

[feral geyser]

Lol don't get salty with me 😏

Maybe it doesn't do that

I don't use those calcs

[limpid cairn]

i assume it doesnt work because greeny didnt add nuclear waste to the calculator

[white dawn]

Right, sftools doesn't have nuclear "recipes" in there 'cause they aren't technically recipes (and thus don't show up in the game data exports which sftools uses for its base)

To compute Plutonium Fuel Rods or Ficsonium Fuel Rods, you've gotta head to the "Inputs" tab and manually specify how much waste you're making, then it'll be able to give you the PFR or FFR production chains

[feral geyser]

There is definitely enough SAM for 100 ficsonium/min

[white dawn]

(And yes, arguably a solver could hardcode them as custom "recipes" but there's various considerations to take with that, and greeny doesn't want to spend time hacking new stuff like that into the existing sftools. Maybe in a hypothetical future Next Version of sftools. :)

[dense violet]

manually input yoru uranium and plutonium waste

[dense violet]

although apparently the new version of hte tool might have custom recipes?

[limpid cairn]

there is no option to manually input uranium waste and plutonium waste

[dense violet]

go to inputs

[white dawn]

Yes there is; the "Inputs" tab will let you specify whatever you want as inputs

[limpid cairn]

ah wait youre right

[dense violet]

toooo slooooowwwwww

[white dawn]

(Quite useful when creating satellite factories or sub-factories and such)

[limpid cairn]

my bad

[white dawn]

All good. :)

[dense violet]

amazing way to break up hubs

[white dawn]

Yeah

Can keep your individual graphs (and factories!) nice and clean much more easily. :)

[limpid cairn]

ill calculate it another time

its way to complicated for me right now

[cunning siren]

Looks like 95 is possible satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production?share=fp63N9mQpsbOFFY8XtCa

[limpid cairn]

did you add all the efficient alt recipes?

pure ingots etc

[white dawn]

The main problem with using sftools for "big" nuclear-power stuff like that is that you sort of have to do each step separately, so for instance Ficsonium production doesn't generally take into account how much resources you're using to make Plutonium (and Uranium, etc)

Like if that 95/min FFR production exhausts resources that you'd need to do the UFR/PFR steps, then it's not really feasible as a whole build

I suppose you could create some nasty graphs by adding in all three rod targets + specify the related wastes as inputs

Though you wouldn't be able to take advantage of "maximize" when doing such shenanigans

[limpid cairn]

true

my best bet would just be to go into a world and try how far you get

[dense violet]

or just not burn the plutonium rods

[limpid cairn]

a path i cannot take...

[hollow vector]

not burning plutonium rods is stupid

the waste isnt even that bad
such a huge waste of power too

[terse flower]

Yo cobalt

Any idea how I would fix blueprints not working? They dont save at all on this one world and i can never place them

[solid grail]

[smoky forge]

for the server link

[hushed inlet]

Ok

[smoky forge]

ok nvm imma do it in #off-topic-general

[limpid cairn]

okay wtf

i can make 1300 rubber and 1300 plastic while still making a shit ton of rocket fuel with only using 1200 oil per minute

[solid grail]

🤯

[limpid cairn]

ah nvm

the editor bugged out because of recycled plastic and rubber

[solid grail]

oh

[limpid cairn]

@shy mulch 50/50 or 25/75?

[shy mulch]

What?

[limpid cairn]

oil splitting into rubber/plastic and rocketfuel for drones

[shy mulch]

Depends on your needs. There's no fixed 'best' ratio

[limpid cairn]

i know but im not sure if i need a lot of rocket fuel for drones

since the rocket fuel will probably only power 10 drones max

[shy mulch]

If you know how many drones you have and their distance you can calculate how much rocket fuel you need. Probably easier to just overproduce and make the drones then measure how much they are actually using then scale it back if you need more of the other stuff

[limpid cairn]

also its smart to split a pure node into 2 seperate pipes since its hard to maintain 600 flow rate over a long distance right?

[boreal musk]

no

600 in straight long line isnt a problem, there never is

you only start encountering problems around the inputs, not output

[limpid cairn]

[dense panther]

hi, im new on the game and i would like to know if i can remove big stones one map ?

[mortal ginkgo]

some stones are indeed removable by explosions

[limpid cairn]

the stones with the big cracks in it can be blown up

[stray herald]

Do resource nodes send you messages on the console? xDD

Do tey say 'Hello' when you ping one?

I have a bunch of 'Hello' in my console log lol

[shy mulch]

also a lot of the smaller ones can be destroyed too, just random rocks lying around

[stray herald]

By abunch I mean 100-200

[solid grail]

ye 😂

[stray herald]

These devs lmao

They really love their job

[limpid cairn]

Being a dev is a great job

Would personally as an outsider rate it a 9/10

[stray herald]

Used to be my favorite way to pass time

Now I'm kinda burnt out on coding

[limpid cairn]

happens

[stray herald]

Why code when I can work for FICSIT?

[limpid cairn]

imagine programmable splitters needed code

[stray herald]

ikr

Like, we have valves for pipes let us do similar stuff with the splitter

[limpid cairn]

if I could understand game engines I’d do a mod for it

[stray herald]

Imagine you could code a splitter to split 120 into 30 60 30 then rotate every 5 mins to 60 30 30 and 30 30 60

[limpid cairn]

Unfortunately I am completely garbage at coding, I accidentally destroyed a custom library at an internship once 🥴

[stray herald]

😭 You're getting internships?

[limpid cairn]

good idea…

[stray herald]

ADA would be proud

I am almost her favorite pioneer anyways

[limpid cairn]

Connections

[stray herald]

Real

[limpid cairn]

my dad just worked in a somewhat tech company and he was good with the manager of the IT department lol

[coral glacier]

I'd be nice to have a remote control for those to switch specific item directions.
Like a pipe valve but instead of not only turning on/off the flow, you can specify which conveyor line splitting off of the program splitter the items are redirected to.

[stray herald]

Lucky af 😭 I've been trying for years

[stray herald]

I wish we had more powerful control of the tools FICSIT makes

[limpid cairn]

Don’t go into software engineering companies it’s genuinely not worth lol

[shy mulch]

The company I work for offers to fully fund entire degrees for any employee, but I declined cos at this stage in my career it wouldn't really make any difference

[limpid cairn]

Job market there is just straight up dead

[stray herald]

Oh wow

Might just apply to Coffe Stain, tell em I got efficient factories running

[stray herald]

I went into CS right as COVID was spreading less, and that was when things went downhill for tech

Now I'm unsureof what to do after I graduate in a few months

Sorry off-topic lmao

Exposed

[limpid cairn]

Bruh

[coral glacier]

Like a Wrist-brace with a display for monitoring conveyor flow and redirection capabilities for program splitters in a specific factory network.

[limpid cairn]

Check dm

Or wait

[stray herald]

That would be awesome

I'd love one for like somersloops or something

[limpid cairn]

#satisfactory message

[stray herald]

Sometimes I spend 30 minutes trying to find where I put a somersloop

[stray herald]

They need more experience than I have years on this Earth

[limpid cairn]

That’s normal

You need a bachelor degree for the company where I had my internship

[stray herald]

On the other hand, I would be cheaper to employ
Since they value efficiency, I am objectively a better option

[limpid cairn]

Well, for the it department

Honestly, ill try to make a Programmable splitters mod for satisfactory and see how it ends

Wish me luck

[stray herald]

LETSGOO

[coral glacier]

Along with a 3D mapping tool that works like a drag select, save that to the wrist-monitor, and if a program splitter is detected in that space, you'd be able to modify it.

[stray herald]

Call it Banana splitters

I think YOU should apply for that designer role

[limpid cairn]

do you randomly know how to write a compiler/interpreter ?😭

[coral glacier]

From wherever in the world, and be able to call it like "Nuclear reactor plant" or something depending on the conveyor network scanned / selected.

[coral glacier]

Lol, no

And pipe switches could also be a function ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[stray herald]

I actually have made an interpreter for a custom language:D

[coral glacier]

That way you don't have to go there in person and save time! 🤣

[stray herald]

IDK if link is allowed but let me try

https://github.com/NaturalBottle250/MapleLeaf

[coral glacier]

Assembly Language is the best language, and nobody can say otherwise.

[limpid cairn]

it actually looks decent

[limpid cairn]

binary...

[stray herald]

The only Assembly I like is Project Assembly at the Space Elevator

[coral glacier]

Assembly language is the best when you don't want to spend an eternity writing in Binary.

[stray herald]

I was writing a custom, virtual OS too that runs on it but that's when I got burnt out

<3 @leaden turret

[shy mulch]

Used to love that stuff, it's about 22 or 23 years since I last wrote assembly, used to do it for the motorola 86k

[coral glacier]

I like assembly because, since programs like c, c++, etc. are built off of assembly, you can make instruction groups based in assembly, like a "Macro-assembly". 🤣

[shy mulch]

Especially C, it's quite closely linked in function so you can use the same skillset

[limpid cairn]

how old are you

[shy mulch]

all the wild abstraction of high level frameworks these days makes me hurt

[limpid cairn]

i need to know the answer

[stray herald]

Does radioactivity scale with stack size?

[shy mulch]

I'm in my 40s

[limpid cairn]

youre twice my age btw

maybe the thrice my age

[coral glacier]

It makes me appreciate what you can do with just assembly, like Rollercoaster Tycoon 2.

[shy mulch]

god yeah, that man was a genius

[coral glacier]

Organization was top tier for that game.

Underlying mechanics that is

[fluid sapphire]

you can do ridiculous stuff with basically any language, i think it really comes down to the madman doing the stuff

[coral glacier]

That is true, i just like assembly language for fine-tuning based on what system a computer is running.

[limpid cairn]

@stray herald do you have experience with linking and visual studio?

[leaden turret]

programming outside the context of satisfactory is probably#off-topic-tech

[coral glacier]

I'm sure if Chris Sawyer was interested in making a 3D based game, and had plenty of time on his hands, he'd make something very enjoyable.

a, done now

Thank you Signpost, very informative

Get it? signpost.

🤣

[leaden turret]

signposts do not inform. they point people in the right direction.

[coral glacier]

That is exactly what informing is

It informs you of the direction posted on the sign.

[leaden turret]

informing: there's a reason you should probably brush your tongue
signposting: bathroom is thata way

[coral glacier]

I see no difference, both is informing you of something.

Nah I use JetBrains products

You get them for free if you are a student

I use Unity or Unreal with JetBrains Rider

[rich sequoia]

any way to dupe power shards?

[limpid cairn]

sloops technically dupe them

[leaden turret]

it says I am 100% correct 😛

[rich sequoia]

You know how?

[limpid cairn]

you put 2 sloops in a constructor and craft power shards through the constructor

you need the ability from the mam tho

[coral glacier]

2 - Time Crystals ( 10 / pm )
+
2 - Dark Matter Crystals ( 10 / pm )
+
12 - Quartz Crystal ( 60 / pm )
+
12 - Excited Photonic Matter ( 60 / pm )

= ( In Quantum Encoder )

1 - Power Shard ( 5 / pm )
&
12 - Dark Matter Residue ( 60 / pm )

[limpid cairn]

btw while we are at it

[rich sequoia]

Oh, that is wayyyy past my tier lmao

[limpid cairn]

how annoying is it to get rid of dark matter residue?

is it as annoying as water byproducts?

[solid storm]

I have a Fluid Buffer and a Valve on my fuel output on my refinery, but I keep having to flush the pipes from time to time? What am I doing wrong?

[vital locust]

is there any chance to destroy rocks in the game or to manipulate the game.ini so i can replace/relocate an ore node?
i cant place a miner on the only caterium node near my base cause there is a rock right in the middle so the miner only gets an invalid placement

[leaden turret]

[limpid cairn]

using a fluid buffer and valve

[solid storm]

Without those, it was worse....had to flush every 5 mins?

[limpid cairn]

Mind sending a screenshot of the problem into #screenshots ?

[solid storm]

one sec....btw, I have 4 refineries for plastic and rubber, and two refineries for fuel output.

[limpid cairn]

It shouldn’t matter unless you fuse the heavy oil residue pipe with the fuel pipe

[kind tartan]

do i need to provide both ends of the elevator with electricity?

[fluid sapphire]

You're using a fluid buffer and a valve

[solid storm]

Not sure what kind of screenshot you wanted, but here is my refinery. #screenshots message

[limpid cairn]

mind if you send one from above?

like from a bird perspective?

[solid storm]

You can do that with the photo mode, correct?

[autumn skiff]

are blueprints accessible from all saves

[dense violet]

you have to transfer them

[autumn skiff]

Or do i have to rebuild them every game?

[dense violet]

manually

[autumn skiff]

how?

[dense violet]

move them to the folder

[autumn skiff]

oh ok

[dense violet]

#faq

[static spruce]

I so wish we had the equivalent of the blueprint paremetrisation from Factorio

[fluid sapphire]

Sir, this is the Internet, people make shit up all the time

[unkempt blade]

This is very true. It's caused by not using enough factory carts and over time that shrinks your brain

[coral glacier]

You can try, if you haven't already:

Options > Gameplay, then down to where it says "Language", try setting it to "English (United States)"

[rugged tundra]

Sadly i tried all those things. I even used chat gps for suggestions and tried all those. As well. So as last resort i went here XD

[coral glacier]

I'm sorry i couldn't help, you could make a post in #1038092680493801533, and see if someone with more knowledge about troubleshooting these things than me could help! :D

how do train station s work with a loop desgine? do I just make 2?

im joking dw

oh lol im stupid

[dull flare]

the 10% powder boost from APA doesnt stack right?

[deep pier]

I am pretty sure it does

[limpid cairn]

APA?

[dull flare]

alien power augmenter

[deep pier]

alien generater

[limpid cairn]

it does stack

[dull flare]

oh

thats kinda op no?

[limpid cairn]

nope

you can get (if you fully max it out) 300% extra power

[dull flare]

i mean ig sloops have better uses end game

but early game that seems op af

[limpid cairn]

its more overpowered late game since you need A LOT of power

[rustic hare]

more like the buff scales, so it's equally OP at any stage ig

[dull flare]

i mean im about to set up a 35GW fuel powerplant

so it would deffinitely give be a visible increase

[static spruce]

I usually do a small fuel powerplant until I can rush nitro rocket fuel

[upper gale]

30% right? not 300%

[limpid cairn]

10*30%

[static spruce]

That thing is so easy to setup with diluted fuel, 70 GW with 300 crude oil

[dull flare]

u can build 10 of them and each gives u 30% increase if u feed it some stuff

i dont have diluted recipe yet :c

but had some spare oil

[upper gale]

Oh I see, didn't know you can build 10 of them

[solid grail]

Its not really 300% more

you get +30% overall output

[shy mulch]

Each. You can build 10 of them

[solid grail]

If you build and give each machine +30% clock speed then each machine puts out 130% of its base output.

[dull flare]

what

each APA boosts the entire grid by 30%

[upper gale]

Oh I get it now, 10 is the limit because there are only 106 sloops total

[dull flare]

their individual outputs are almost insignificant

[solid grail]

Ooh, okay entire grid, got it.

[zenith pecan]

Very rarely, patches respawned the sloops 🤣

[dull flare]

they fixed it though afaik

[upper gale]

Dang I shoulda kept some old saves around

[upper gale]

Ah makes sense

[zenith pecan]

Was only a one time thing, so if you had looted it, it was there to be looted again, if not, tough, no extra for joo!

No idea if it was also a thing in early access because I never grabbed them back then, but there were a couple of times when poer slugs came back on patch (and a couple of bugged spawns coming back on reload)

These days the slugs thing wouldn't matter one whit, not with artificial power crystals.

[upper gale]

Yeah true

[zenith pecan]

My save was created after 1.0, and there was a singular reset, after I looted all the worlds sloops, I still to this day have about half a dozen to re-loot.

[solid grail]

Ez dupe.

[zenith pecan]

Yeah, all you need to do is see the future and know when a patch is going to cause it 😛

[deep pier]

best place to set up fuel power generater plant?

[hard ivy]

Basically anywhere there's oil

[rustic hare]

everybody say blue crater lake, but imo spire coast beautiful af

[hard ivy]

Blue crater is for rocket fuel

[deep pier]

my biggest like worry is the sulfer and coal

[hard ivy]

Then don't do turbofuel

[deep pier]

I am not that familiar with the map do you know their cords?

[zenith pecan]

I've had fuel on the west coast, the islands there, my current one sits in the blue crater.

[deep pier]

🙁 but I wanna

[hard ivy]

Then find a place where it fits. Regular fuel can go anywhere with oil and it's more than good enough

[zenith pecan]

Don't worry about that, this game is about logistics afterall, just move coal & sulphur from wherever to the processing facility.

[rustic hare]

no.., but maybe google can solve that

[zenith pecan]

My old turbofuel facility was nowhere near any coal or sulphur, back then it ran 888 generators (old pre-buff values) and all the required crap was delivered via logistics tunnels.

[dull flare]

i did 300 turbo fuel and 2000 fuel in the north oil area idk what the biome is called

why are my trains stuck at the entrance to the passing lanes?

[rustic hare]

just a wild shot in the dark, place another block signal at the middle of the straight paths?

[scenic mirage]

on each side?

[rustic hare]

yes, same direction

[scenic mirage]

looks like that worked... lmao wtf?

is it bc i have 2 locomotives?

[rustic hare]

as I understand it, because the path sees the exit block signal for the desired path is saying no, so it also says no, but if you put another block signal in that says yes as the exit to the path signal, it'll fix the problem

btw you can also use all block signals here cause there's no way 2 trains can be on the same block but having different paths

[jade marlin]

I am currently trying to build a big train network but my test junction seems to have an issue. The train system has a total of 4 lanes, 2 for each direction and I thought that for a junction to work, you just have to place path signals at the entrances and block signals at the exits. This doesn't work as all path signals say "Signal loops into itself.".
How do I fix this issue?

[spice patio]

Make #1038092680493801533 thread, include screenshot taken of the intersection and tiny bit of surroundings with signal out, so that the block colors show.
You have signals where there is same color on both sides of the signal, and those need to be fixed somehow.
There is current game bug, that sometimes signals placed exactly on the junction split will bug out and leak like that for example and bypass is to put the signal little before.

[scenic mirage]

ahh makes sense. trains are weird 🤷‍♂️

@grave bloom any idea you have for programmable splitters?

besides making them programmable

[gilded halo]

Is it possible to convert an existing blueprint to just a normal structure? I have a blueprint called 5x5 2m foundations which, as it says, is just a 5x5 2m foundations however it screws up my blueprint placement above them when i try to auto connect stuff so i was wondering if i could make them a "normal" structure

[limpid cairn]

im not sure if its possible but you could probably replace the foundation file with the blueprint?

[mortal tide]

if you can't seleted any more alternative recipes does it fill up later on?

like i didn't even build the space elevator yet this time (just went exploring) and i researched 3 or 4 hard drives and now on the last one, the right slot is empty.

does that fill up with some recipe once i have unlocked more stuff? or does it stay empty and I will have to reroll later on?

[gilded halo]

No i meant the reverse, convert the blueprint i have created that i placed out to just normal structures so it doesnt mess with my other blueprints in regards to auto connect

[rustic hare]

kind of an indirect way of resolving this, but you can install mods like infinite zoop which allows you to zoop foundations in 2d and remove the need for said blueprint

[gilded halo]

im just going to stop using it in the future and just doing it normally by zooping 10 at a time

[limpid cairn]

I still do it the normal way, can be pretty fast if you're good at it (and not playing client side multiplayer)

i don't care about them

let people enjoy what they eat

[shy mulch]

what about strawberries on pasta?

[manic topaz]

kill them

[somber quartz]

wtf thats even worse

[shy mulch]

kill the strawberries?

[manic topaz]

publicly execute them with a guillotine

[manic topaz]

the people who commit such crimes

[shy mulch]

who's the victim?

[eager siren]

Do the higher tiers have to unlock for some alternate recipes to be available? Like turbo fuel for instance...

[manic topaz]

I think you gain the ability to get an alternate recipe when two conditions are met

• you are able to make the default recipe
• you are able to make/obtain the resources for the alternate recipe

[shy mulch]

yes, most recipies have either MAM requirements or phase requirements

[manic topaz]

or listen to the guy above me because he's probably right

[shy mulch]

me? I'm usually wrong

[manic topaz]

no I'm usually wrong

[solid grail]

[shy mulch]

Hi usuallywrong, I'm dad

wait wrong joke

[solid grail]

dad?

😔

[upbeat charm]

Is Liquid Biofuel still viable as jetpack fuel?

[hard ivy]

always has been

always will be

[copper saffron]

Hey - I seem to recall a mod in development thats looking to add factorio style guns and enemies. Does anyone remember or know what it’s called?

[heavy pine]

They should change the models on the ends of conveyor lifts so you can tell the difference between them. I've got a manufacturer with two Mk.1's, a Mk.2, and a Mk.6 and I can't tell which is which just looking at the ends of the lifts.

[hard ivy]

why would you use anything other than mk6 lol

[shy mulch]

^ this

[steady glade]

@unkempt blade lmao

[heavy pine]

Because I don't need to shove things in at 1200 items/min when the manufacturer only needs 25/min.

[shy mulch]

There's no downsides to just using mk6

[heavy pine]

Like I'm using Mk.6's for the uranium because I want that to be off the belts as quick as possible, but the rest doesn't need to go that fast.

[leaden turret]

mk.1 belt: has 3 small lights per segment
mk.2 belt: has 1 small light per segment
mk.3 belt: has 2 large lights per segment
mk.4 belt: has 1 large light per segment + higher guard rails
mk.5 belt: has 1 large light per segment, higher guard rails, and an extra rail on top
mk.6 belt: has 1 large light and 2 small lights per segment

not being able to tell the speed by sight is "consistent" ¬_¬

[heavy pine]

On the lifts themselves, but not on the ends.

[shy mulch]

Why do you need to know?

[hard ivy]

with faster belts, the manifolds fill faster

[rigid glen]

just click F and target the lift end,

[unkempt blade]

yeah the downside is just material cost (and not getting to see adorable vehicles zipping around instead)

[heavy pine]

#screenshots message

[manic topaz]

the middle right one
obviously

[shy mulch]

I'd love to understand why it matters

[hard ivy]

if I built that, all of them would be

[leaden turret]

smaller number of actions required to perform an activity is considered good UX

[heavy pine]

Why does anything aesthetic matter? Though now that I'm looking closer, I do see that one of them is slightly different. And that does happen to be the Mk.6; it's the second one, that doesn't have the black bars just below the curve.

[upper gale]

Faster belt for the main line, slower belt for lines feeding the machines

[hard ivy]

also, you can just check with F

[shy mulch]

placing all of them as mk6 is a smaller number of actions than placing them all differently

[hard ivy]

why would I ever do that?

[unkempt blade]

not everyone is playing just to slam out achievements or see numbers go up 🙂

[leaden turret]

you don't start the game with mk.6

[upper gale]

Cuz even though it fills the machines slower, it gets all of them to 100% faster

[shy mulch]

he said some of them are mk6, and some aren't

[hard ivy]

it literally gets them to 100% slower

[heavy pine]

I already got the achievements on the last run. Though this is the first time I'm getting serious about setting up nuclear power.

[leaden turret]

you don't start the game with mk.6

[shy mulch]

I'm with him on that one, sorry. But you can fill a manifold faster by placing slower belts between the manifold and the machine, and just having mk6 on the main line

[unkempt blade]

I mostly like to use slower belts when I have the option not to because it makes the factory look cooler seeing stuff moving around

basically the same reason as using vehicles

[shy mulch]

That's a good reason

[hard ivy]

I did the math and it's slower 🤷‍♂️

unless your input matches the sum of side belt speeds

[shy mulch]

My calculations and yours are different then

[upper gale]

I mostly use slower belts to tell how much is supposed to be on that line from a quick glance

[hard ivy]

the fastest filling manifolds use all mk6 belts and smart splitters to fill machines 1 by 1

[heavy pine]

My plan right now is to get everything else ready before I start pumping the radioactive bits in. Ideally that keeps the belts from being full of spicy green rocks.

[daring girder]

days without train accidents: 1

[meager patrol]

how do you get sloppy alumina recipe?

[manic topaz]

is satisfactory performance better on windows with dx12 or linux with vulkan

[heavy pine]

Though come to think of it, I should redo the manifolds to balancers to keep things even.

[hard ivy]

scan HDDs after unlocking the default alumina recipe

[shy mulch]

By dribbling on the regular recipe

[somber sigil]

hello i just bought the game on steam and friend is on epic can we play together ty!

[steady glade]

🤤

[solid grail]

yes

[upper gale]

With all fast belts, each machine is waiting for the next to have a full stack in it

[solid grail]

Why use overkill belts if the machine is already running at 100% efficiency?

[limpid cairn]

theres a lot of bugs

[hard ivy]

and unless your belt speed matches machine consumption exactly, so will machines with slower belts. except the machines fill much slower, and it takes longer

[upbeat charm]

Why does a boar have radioactive property

[upper gale]

Basically you can limit each machine to how much it needs using slower belts

[upbeat charm]

[unkempt blade]

because they eat uranium when they can't find berries

[hard ivy]

there is no 45/min belt

[steady glade]

🫳
🏀

[manic topaz]

it makes me feel cooler

[solid grail]

I mean if you can why not ig.

[unkempt blade]

a perfectly good reason to do something in a sandbox game!

[upper gale]

Yeah anything below 60/m you'll need to do something different

Or just use mk1

[manic topaz]

and i feel like the main reason is whatever you have in your hotbar

[hard ivy]

there's no 90/min belt either

[manic topaz]

or quick selector or whatever they call the little bar at the bottom of the screen that contains buildings

[hard ivy]

then it fills slower than with mk6

[upbeat charm]

Can Chainsaw use Liquid Biofuel?

[hard ivy]

no, only solid

[solid grail]

yes but that does not matter if the machine uses 25/min

[unkempt blade]

yeah but patience is a virtue 😄

[meager patrol]

can someone give me a basic aluminum layout

[somber sigil]

ty ive allowed invite trhough steam on my game but how do i open the steam popup to actuallly invite my friend

[upper gale]

That's alright, the mk2 belt will feed the machine at 120/m instead of like 480 or higher from the main line. Filling the machine isn't a necessity

[hard ivy]

it is if you want the next machines to get enough items to run

unless you're completely overfilling all of your manifolds

[steady glade]

consider getting all the alt recipes before deciding how much effort you wann put into this

[solid grail]

Launch Satisfactory.
From the main menu, click Manage Session.
Make sure Crossplay is enabled.
You’ll see a Session ID
Copy that code and send it to your friend.

They launch the game (on Epic).
Go to Join Game.
Choose Join via Session ID.
Paste the code you sent.

[somber sigil]

ok tyyyyy

[solid grail]

Or link your steam account on epic games

[steady glade]

the most efficient uses sloppy alumina and electrode scrap but you'll need proper wasste management

[daring girder]

enemy creatures really start to become annoying

[solid grail]

skill issue

[upbeat charm]

this gonna be annoying to keep separate Solid and Liquid pile

[rigid glen]

Try peaceful mode once you've experienced enough aggro

[daring girder]

maybe one day

[upbeat charm]

Me fighting big boar with zapper losing 15 hp pips

[rigid glen]

Keep getting annoyed then, it's your game 😛

[unkempt blade]

basher is the best weapon, it makes me feel like a really crappy Jedi with the jetpack and blade runners

[daring girder]

I'll set myself some challenge, and if I can complete it, I'll set peaceful mode on

[solid grail]

peaceful is for the weak

[upbeat charm]

We need rocket launcher that can shoot straight

[rigid glen]

This isn't one of those games

[upbeat charm]

I'm not trial and error my nobilisk

[daring girder]

btw, are there some rocks that can only be destroyed with stronger explosives?

[spice patio]

No,.

[upbeat charm]

Everybody gangsta until big spider comes

[upper gale]

This is cool although it does make some things kinda unnecessary to automate like lots of ammo and you can be more relaxed about unlocking defensive weapons as well as carrying them around. And well danger in general. But it's a tradeoff

[solid grail]

You look more like a sheep. 🤨

[upbeat charm]

Saw somersloop on top of rock

foundation my way up and peek

1 big spider and a dozen of small spider

[daring girder]

nuclear hog can be funnier

[rigid glen]

So it's less stressful AND less work? sign me up 🙂

[cunning siren]

Most of the good ground loot is guarded so peaceful mode is like... "come get it" 🤷 nobody is going to stop you. Starting with max sloops and spheres... nah, the game is easy enough as it is

[upper gale]

Fr this is how everyone felt after 1.0 when they released dimensional depot lol

[timid oar]

dont, like 20 minutes ago i was walking along a mk5 belt (not far enough for mk6 yet) and the game didnt load in a big spider until i was practically on top of it. scared the living daylights out of me 😭

[upper gale]

Both are valid ways to play

[daring girder]

it's not really a question of difficulty, but more about how much we choose between fun or annoying

[leaden turret]

satisfactory: effective constipation relief

[solid grail]

The more you fight the easier it becomes

[rigid glen]

I played for 1500 hours with agrro on, that's enough for me lol

[upbeat charm]

Sense a hostility attitude towards Pioneer*

and then your health drop little by little

and you are in forest

hate that

[timid oar]

no horror game has gotten close to the heartrate spike that spider gave me

[rustic hare]

yeeting the monsters feel too easy so idk, if I turned aggro off then something feels missing

[upper gale]

It does get repetitive killing them everytime

[rigid glen]

Then don't do it 🙂

No one is forcing anyone to do anything

[upbeat charm]

If you turned enemy off

You missed out on 6 Inventory Slots though

[daring girder]

well, I guess it's up to everyone how they want to cook their pasta

[rustic hare]

just sharing a pov I'm not changing anything because of anyone or telling anyone to do anything

[rigid glen]

How

[timid oar]

doesnt peaceful turn off achievements though? or was that the "keep whole inventory" setting

[rigid glen]

neither of those turns them off

[solid grail]

Hostile organisms research tree in the MAM grants +6 inventory

[rigid glen]

Opening the advanced settings turns them off

[timid oar]

ooh gotcha

[deep pier]

is there a double wall outlet but for ceilings? found non and couldn't rotate the wall one

[rigid glen]

It's not turning them off, it's just making it so they ignore you

You can still kill them

[sullen gull]

Use a beam

[timid oar]

gotcha, that makes sense, cheers

[deep pier]

what's a beam? like the pole?

[solid grail]

Ooh, i see, oke.

[sullen gull]

@deep pier, one sec.

[rigid glen]

I totally missed the anniversary party in the hub D'oh

[deep pier]

you didn't miss much

[upper gale]

Nah the structural part like "painted beam"

[deep pier]

oh like the ones at the awsome shop?

[upper gale]

Yup

[sullen gull]

Vid incoming.. .

[solid grail]

..?

[deep pier]

they are cooking up something, atleast tinker is
cool pfp btw

[sullen gull]

@deep pier ... Ignore the failed nudging in the beginning .. in vanilla to just need 1 ctrl Z nudge.

[solid grail]

ooh i see in #screenshots

[sullen gull]

#screenshots message

[crisp barn]

fair, tho I haven't noticed much

[feral geyser]

Circle zoop ftw

[rustic hare]

the fact that there's a damn toxic spider right in frame lmao

[feral geyser]

Also, that is a clever way to bury power sockets

[sullen gull]

@deep pier , or ctrl Z nudge twice to just have it just barely poking through.

[deep pier]

ok thanks

[sullen gull]

Yeah, I got lazy, and already use a tone of beams as it is .... Efficiency man! .. and Time is apart of that imo 🤣

[sullen gull]

Haha, yeah, I have it on retalite. There is a "plan" for them though with this build 😏

[feral geyser]

I know someone who would call that "cheating" and say "YOU'RE LYING TO YOURSELF IF YOU SAY IT'S NOT" and I just simply don't care about that view, it's convenient

[feral geyser]

Spider zoo

That wouldn't work, would it? They despawn at a certain range?

[limpid cairn]

Cheater 🤓👆

[rustic hare]

quote from #rules :

We encourage mods for Satisfactory! Feel free to discuss topics regarding mods.
tbh do anything you want with the game

[feral geyser]

See above

im joking Dw

I meant to send 🤓👆 too but accidentally sent snutt

[sullen gull]

Nah mate, already saved the kittens and puppies a few times now 😏 Before the "time saving" 🤣

[rustic hare]

I just reacted your prev message with 🤓 👆 and someone else also joined in lol

[sullen gull]

Afaik, they don't despawn... Just won't return if I kill them. We'll see though, I may be wrong.

[feral geyser]

I genuinely don't know, I was just assuming cuz that's how a lot of other games handle mobs.

[upper gale]

If you think about it there's a lot of mods that could've been added as a feature in the game. And if it ever did/does get added, it won't be considered "cheating" anymore

[rustic hare]

part of inifinite nudge got added lol, prime example

[limpid cairn]

I saw it lmao

[feral geyser]

like curve zoop or 2d zoop

I hope they do that

[sullen gull]

They have already said that the "combat" aspect wasn't a "crucial" part of the game. Most likely would be a mod. 🤦‍♂️ - Can't read

[sullen gull]

Shit, re-read... you said mods... not mobs 🤣

[leaden turret]
