Chainsaw all the things, you may be suprised what yields mycelia

[rigid glen]

I would swear some (def not all) of previously gathered mycelia will come back, but maybe only with a fresh load of the save (just my opinion, I'm sure others feel diferent)

*in caves

[cunning siren]

Maybe some science is in order to know the answer

[rigid glen]

maybe everything follows the chainsaw rule and i'm just wrong

that's more likely

[west verge]

Because I’m not into feet like you apparently 😭😭😭

[unreal hollow]

My brain is broke and I dislike clearing all the foliage in this inconsequential video game. I'd rather kill the the planet slowly with CO2 poisoning instead

[covert lintel]

Why would i be into feet? 😭. You're the one with milk feet in ur name

[cunning siren]

I tested hand picked vs. chainsaw for 🍃 and found it did not matter 🤷

[pulsar bobcat]

is there any mod to fix the broken signals?

[cunning siren]

DO want chainsaw hogs though! Why not this game!?!

[gritty shoal]

conveyor belts have their quirks 🤷‍♂️

[covert lintel]

[gritty shoal]

this is barely considered "weird" by discord standards

[covert lintel]

Ye true

[swift turret]

pretty normal name

[gritty shoal]

agreed

[covert lintel]

I think yall r the one who like feet

[gritty shoal]

its just not a weird name

[covert lintel]

Ok

[gritty shoal]

I do NOT like feet

[covert lintel]

Sure

[gritty shoal]

especially not milk feet

[covert lintel]

Alr i hear ya buddy. 😉

bro's saying that despite Tools showing 3600 plastic from 1200 oil, you'd, in fact, get 3560 instead. I have no clue where he got that number from

[cunning siren]

What is a plubber? And is anything like a plumbus and if so how is it made?

[feral geyser]

We talking about feet? Or F.E.E.T.?

[feral geyser]

Oh you're the one talking about feet. Or F.E.E.T.

[stiff wolf]

[tired axle]

Does a splitter slow down the transport of items significantly?

[stone nebula]

Does it experience plastic or elastic failure?

[hard ivy]

with the recycling loop, you can make both in any ratio you want, as long as they add up to 3x the oil input, so you don't need to specify what you're making with the loop

[hard ivy]

it doesn't slow item flow at all

[tired axle]

ah looks like it slows down, nvm then ^^

[cunning siren]

Optical illusion perhaps

[hard ivy]

or you have a slow belt that's actually slowing things down

[unkempt blade]

mergers on the other hand significantly speed items up

[cunning siren]

How many boxes is the correct amount of turbo ammo?

[limpid cairn]

Ada is glados

[covert lintel]

Ohhh

[limpid cairn]

funny thing you can web servers on portal cubes

[covert lintel]

Ik

I saw the yt video where th dude hosted websites in p2

[peak wasp]

So with trains how much better are they?

[covert lintel]

Use belts

[limpid cairn]

I wonder if you can play doom on the website…

[peak wasp]

NEVER!!!?

[limpid cairn]

Pretty alright in a small train system

[covert lintel]

😢

[limpid cairn]

Really good in big ones

[peak wasp]

2700m

[limpid cairn]

That’s small

[hard ivy]

besides, that's a distance, not a size of the train system

[limpid cairn]

I laid 3 belt from the blue crater to the south west side of the map

(I demolished everything after I saw trains)

[peak wasp]

From my plains start to blue crater

[limpid cairn]

Make sure to use the curved belt mode

( @glad drum am I doing it right?)

[hard ivy]

or lay foundations and use straight mode

[limpid cairn]

What are foundations and straight mode ???

[peak wasp]

I mean I already have a 4 foundation wide highway

I use it for the tractors

[manic topaz]

i think they should add a feature where you can use the chainsaw on the hogs n spitters n stuff and they drop rebar or rifle ammo
-# this is a reference to doom 2016/doom eternal

[leaden turret]

if you use a chainsaw on hogs, that'd impact the viability of the protein to be used in creating biomass 😛

dystopian space capitalism says can't violate TOS for chainsaw being plants-only 😛

Awwww ADA complains now when you kill the bean creature

Can anyone send a picture of how signs look as lights I haven’t unlocked yet and I want to know if they look good

[leaden turret]

https://communityhighlights.satisfactory.video/meta-search/?q="signs as lights"

[dull flare]

it also complains when u kill

[hard ivy]

afaik they only produce light with global illumination on. so prepare to have that on when you want to use them as lights

[atomic notch]

Some peeps got cool stuff like that #satisfactory-experimental message

[edgy python]

I researched mycelia expanded equipment slot and I didn’t receive the equipment slot for some reason why?

[small notch]

What does global illumination do

[leaden turret]

if:

and:

then maybe:

[small notch]

Apart from the signs light up

[edgy python]

Like ray tracing

[small notch]

Ahh

[hard ivy]

eats your GPU performance and makes everything darker

[small notch]

I’ll turn it on and see if it’s ok

I’m using the ceiling lights but I don’t like the wires everywhere

[dull flare]

real

[atomic notch]

Global illumination is a detriment to my pc

[small notch]

Is there any other alternative to ceiling lights other than signs

[hard ivy]

and a detriment to my ability to see

[leaden turret]

ADA wishes to discourage kerploding of things that annoy you 😛

[atomic notch]

If i wanted to see realistic graphics id go outside

[dull flare]

isn’t that deadly?

[small notch]

What’s outside?

[atomic notch]

Maybe if youre allergic to the sun

[dull flare]

i heard gr*ss is poisonous to touch

[leaden turret]

other people

[cunning siren]

Ooof, i've seen that sort of thing happen. This website can modify uploaded saves and you can download them and load them for the "fix" https://satisfactory-calculator.com/en/interactive-map

[leaden turret]

it's not that it's poisonous, it's that it's where dogs pee 😛

[small notch]

Why would I want to see that? When I have my lizard doggo

[dull flare]

i only go outside to drive

driving is fun

[leaden turret]

I wasn't saying that to encourage people to go outside 😛

[atomic notch]

Drive in game

[dull flare]

can’t go eat nice borgir with friends in game though

yet at least

[hard ivy]

there's pizza in the hub rn

[dull flare]

[small notch]

#screenshots problem solved no need to go outside

Is it worth just making 1 alien power just to up power production 10%

[smoky nimbus]

whats the best way to transport fluid long distances?

[hard ivy]

don't

[reef basin]

usually the recommendation is to build near fluids

[small notch]

If you do I would package it then train imo

[reef basin]

or just train without packaging

[small notch]

Yh forgot about fluid train never had to use it

I always build at the liquid

[smoky nimbus]

i thought the fluid train was complete garbage

[hard ivy]

you can get more throughput per wagon if you package

[reef basin]

nah, it's actually pretty competitive, at least in some cases

and is less complex to do

[smoky nimbus]

im moving like 2000/m of nitrogen

[cunning siren]

I forgot gases can be piped across the map this run 😆

[reef basin]

well for gas, packaging is usually worth the effort

since packaged gas is compressed

but again, I'd build near the source

[small notch]

Isn’t gas not affected by headlift?

[smoky nimbus]

yeah

[small notch]

Is there nitrogen at crater lake?

[cunning siren]

Nope

[small notch]

😩 I was hoping there was

What’s the closest is it far?

[hard ivy]

there is?

[small notch]

I’ll check the calculator thing

[cunning siren]

No, it's like 1.7km away

[limpid cairn]

It’s not even that bad

[small notch]

Just checked and there is

[limpid cairn]

I have a nitric acid pipe that travels a bit before being used

[hard ivy]

it's 500m away from the center of the lake

[small notch]

It’s not very far

[cunning siren]

OH crater lake = SE corner

[small notch]

Yeah

[cunning siren]

I was thinking you were talking about the other crater place

[hard ivy]

ah, yeah, one is "blue crater lake" and the other is "crater lakes"

[small notch]

All good 😄

[hard ivy]

but the other is lakes so if it's singular I assume it's blue crater

[small notch]

As soon as I reach phase 4 I’m gonna get rocket fuel after automating parts I need for new machines

[smoky nimbus]

i don't even want to START on fused modular frames...

[small notch]

I haven’t even started hmf lol

[smoky nimbus]

use heavy encased frames

[fluid sapphire]

If you already have HMF set up, it's really not a lot on top of that

[small notch]

I’m was planning on using normal I don’t really mind using screws in future tho I will use that I plan on making a big concrete factory

[smoky nimbus]

yeah but my HMF is nowhere near my aluminum plant

[small notch]

Trains 🚂

[smoky nimbus]

im not building a train network to the other side of the map

yet

[small notch]

I would, would look cool

Although it would take a while

[fluid sapphire]

trains

why not

[cunning siren]

Jetpack Hoverpack now auto-swaps with a button on my mouse! Hell yea!

[smoky nimbus]

how.

[cunning siren]

Macro

I macroed slide jump too 😆

[hard ivy]

default HMFs are expensive AF, though. you'll thank yourself when you use encased

[small notch]

Macroing slide jump is so lazy lol, not that I wouldn’t use it lol

[cunning siren]

Can't even feed 1,200 screws to a maxed out HMF either 😭

[small notch]

I’ll prob make default recipe for my personal use hmf then the factory I make eventually will be encased

[cunning siren]

It sounds like you are slowly understanding the level of lazy here

[small notch]

I something else can do it for you then why do it yourself 🤷

[reef basin]

maxed hmf needs 600/min 🤔

[smoky nimbus]

just don't use screws.

[reef basin]

eh, screws are fine

[smoky nimbus]

why manage something when you don't have to

[small notch]

I don’t plan on being screwed later on lol

[reef basin]

because there's no reason to get rid of that something

[hard ivy]

especially because there's 0 benefit to dealing with the screws (at least for HMFs)

[fluid sapphire]

plenty of reason to get rid of it

[cunning siren]

Default HMF does eat a lot of screws 🤔

[reef basin]

and you can make a lot of screws 🤷

[cunning siren]

Yea

Not a big deal

[small notch]

It’s not the amount you need to make imo it’s the amount you need to transport

[cunning siren]

And avoidable sometimes

[reef basin]

that's why you don't

you make them in front of machine that needs them, hook it 1:1 and done

[small notch]

With steal screws it’s easy to make hundreds

[placid stirrup]

With steal screws you don't even need to make any yourself

[hard ivy]

that makes it even more expensive

[smoky nimbus]

should I use the fuel-heated fused frame recipie?

[cunning siren]

Unless sloopage

[reef basin]

depends on your definition of expensive

[small notch]

I do still think screws is more effort than reward there’s no need for them if there’s alts

[reef basin]

do you like it? use it

[placid stirrup]

70 Ficsbucks

[fluid sapphire]

heat fused frame is great, i like it a lot

[reef basin]

effort for screws is same as for any other item, especially things like concrete, wire or quickwire

[cunning siren]

alts are gamba though, no way besides cheating to be sure you'll have what you want

[bronze atlas]

Aesthetic question - has anyone seen a mod that adds models for text so we could build 3d signs? Id like to smack for example a Big "Northern Ironworks" text on the outer wall of a factory so in multiplayer people can see what the building is for as they approach it, rather than having to just use big square sign boxes for everything.

I did try a mod search but didn't come up with anything, so wanted to see if i was just choosing my search terms poorly or a mod with a wierd name added that ability

[hard ivy]

? you can absolutely guarantee any alt(s) you want

[placid stirrup]

Just don't make any of those either, easy gg

[smoky nimbus]

make sideways foundations

[cunning siren]

Eventually when you have all hard drives sure

[smoky nimbus]

i believe theres a mod that lets you paint letters on foundations and one that lets you rotate things

[small notch]

Just spend a lot of time getting hard drives (or coupons)

[bronze atlas]

any clue what the letter painting mod is?

[fluid sapphire]

coupons?

[small notch]

Tickets for awesome shop

[fluid sapphire]

well, duh, what about them

you are not suggesting buying hard drives?

[cunning siren]

Yea, i guess if you wanted to collect all the hard drives as a priority

[small notch]

You can get hard drive for 100 I’m pretty sure

[fluid sapphire]

which is an absolutely insane price to pay for one

[reef basin]

I don't really see any reason to remove a specific item from production lines just for the sake of removing it

obviously if you have reasons to pick given recipes and a byproduct of those picks is that you remove an item from production line, it's fine, but I would never suggest removing it just because you want to remove it

[fluid sapphire]

like you seriously underestimate just how many coupons that is

[small notch]

Yh I would never buy one

[fluid sapphire]

it takes me several days to generate 100 coupons

[small notch]

I don’t think I’ve even made 100 coupons total

[smoky nimbus]

how much pasta should i aim for?

[small notch]

100 a second

[reef basin]

however much you need/want

[smoky nimbus]

real

[hard ivy]

however much you need for singularity cells?

like it's not used for making anything else

[fluid sapphire]

no one can say, i am gunning for 2 per minute to start

[placid stirrup]

I was agreeing with you tongue in cheek

[reef basin]

I know, I was just expanding on my argument

[smoky nimbus]

thats... 64 refineries of pure copper..

oh god im going to go insane.

[fluid sapphire]

64 really isnt a lot

[small notch]

That’s quite a few

[dull flare]

can i get alts for recipes i dont have unlocked yet?

[hard ivy]

it's really not

[dull flare]

ty

[reef basin]

depends

[dull flare]

i just unlocked phase 4 and i’m looking for an alt for uranium cells which i dont have unlocked yet

[hard ivy]

you can get alts you can't use yet, but I'm pretty sure you can't get alts for an item you don't have unlocked at all

[dull flare]

i assumed i can’t get it but wanted to make sure

[reef basin]

since alts are not really "paired" with base recipes.

each alt has a requirement you need to have before it's in the pool, look on wiki to see

[reef basin]

see above for why I answered that way

(as you don't really "unlock items")

[dull flare]

ok ty

[hard ivy]

yeah. you unlock the default recipe. with a milestone. which also unlocks the appropriate alts...

and I'm reasonably sure you can't get an alt for an item you don't have the default recipe for

[reef basin]

you unlock recipes
items are never locked

[hard ivy]

...that's what I said

[reef basin]

and again - there's nothing like "default" recipe 😉 all recipes are just recipes, they are not paired in any way, sometimes there's multiple non-alt recipes to make something, sometimes there's none, etc etc. I've had this conversation many times, no need to repeat it.

Hence why I wanted to clarify my answer

[hard ivy]

though, like I suspected, there are some shenanigans with turbofuel. you can unlock turbo heavy before you unlock turboufuel

[reef basin]

because turbo is alt 😛

[dull flare]

another stupid question it’s probably on wiki but which output has priority in a industrial shortage container

[reef basin]

none

[hard ivy]

depends 🙃

[reef basin]

or rather, one semi-randomly chosen, and can switch the priority at any time

personally I'd recommend to never rely on both outputs, unless they are both going to same place (e.g. buffering in front of train station)

[hard ivy]

(or both inputs)

[dull flare]

ye alr was just curious

[reef basin]

other interesting cases include e.g. charcoal/biocoal, which do not have any "base" recipe and can be unlocked by compacted coal in MAM, etc.

[dull flare]

is phase 4 stuff complicated or does it just look intimidating?

[hard ivy]

why do those even have CC in the requirements? shouldn't it just be coal power?

[reef basin]

DPF seems to be unlocked by oil processing, not fluid packaging

[reef basin]

it's that or CC, idk why

[smoky nimbus]

whats the best turbo motor alternate?

[reef basin]

depends

(on practically anything you can think of, available resources, goals, preferences, priorities, other recipes, etc. - just look at the numbers and pick one that makes sense for your specific case)

[fluid sapphire]

It's not so bad if you divide and conquer

[zenith pecan]

Still worth building a couple of pasta setups just to enable teleports.

[hallow crow]

yo anyone else got that weird bug where if u click off then click back on it takes 5-6 business days to unfreeze, i never got that b4 the 1.1 update came onto main branch

[zenith pecan]

I will eventually stop taking a break and resume construction, I've been pretty busy of late so my gaming has taken a major back seat.

I hope they raise the limit on lift shafts, I don't really have many other complaints.

Hard pass on lift spirals again.

[thorny tree]

im kinda surprised that this server doesnt have a vc channel

Testing what the maximum distance with a single slide jump + pulsed jetpack with biofuel AND it's pretty strange the factors that dictate this are 🤔 so far ~130 foundations is the current record

[sullen gull]

Just wait till ya try Ionized 😏

[cunning siren]

Yea, I'm not at that stage in this save yet 🤷 and liquid bio is pretty fantastic as far as price vs. performance

[sullen gull]

Yeah, LBF and Ionized are the two goats in terms of jetpack fuel.

[cunning siren]

~64 km/h for a slide jump jetpack pulse and ~100 for a straight Zipline! I had no idea zipline was so fast

That's close to slide jump + MK4 belt

OMG zip line recharges the jetpack fuel AND you maintain the speed gain after a faster zipline trip for the jetpack pulse afterwards! WOH!

I got up to 118 km/h off a downward zipline

4x hypertube cannon ~230 km/h 🤔

[hallow crow]

1 wagon = 1 load station

its how it works, its useful especially when your taking multiple different things per train

like each load station could be for a different item, that way you dont mix and match. Although you can if you use smart and programable splitters ig, also make sure if your doing multiple different items and you have them linked to different stations, make sure the order is right on the other end aswell otherwise you might get plates in the frame car if ya know what i mean

hope i explained that alr

3 a plane/jet like vehicle

4. a possible expansion to the map adding a 2-3 different boat-like vehicles, not only that but adding some type of new resource you can only find out on the water (examples of vehicles: the cargo ship. exactly what it sounds like. the cruiser, a lightweight low storage and fast vehicle. thirdly, the submarine, a well, submarine. used to help find resource nodes that are only found in the water.) i also think it would he cool to add diving equipment (ik this is veering towards subnautica but it would be cool) ive been wanting a map expansion for a while so i thought this would be cool. please let me know what you think, and if any devs see this please consider it.

[carmine aspen]

1. sounds interesting but seems like a hassle to keep fueled
2. its an interesting concept for road trains
3. cargo planes would be better, but we already have drones
4. over sea transport would most likely be reserved for a mostly ocean map

[hallow crow]

a map expansion would be cool

like an island a lil away from the main land

[mortal ginkgo]

no ADA romance options? you guys really dont have too much imagination

[hallow crow]

abundant with something we dont really have much of, havent really gotten to the end game, farthest ive gotten is the nuclear stage but i had a bunch of QOL mods on so ye, dunno what we ent got much of

thats a good idea

you could select the planet whilst creating the save and where the spawn point of that planet would be

[hallow crow]

damn, accidentally tried nudging a wire connected to a pole and it crashed my game 😭

[leaden turret]

one can just... play without taking advantage of foreknowledge

[rotund pivot]

i know the map so well

[leaden turret]

current map took 6-8 years to make

[hallow crow]

ye we would be waiting a while for a new one if they decide to make it

[leaden turret]

game takes place on one continent, entire planet left to explore

reminder: Tears of the Kingdom was originally envisioned as DLC, got too big/grand with the ideas and released as a sequel

[rotund pivot]

yeah thats why i said a map expansion but not on a whole new planet

[unkempt blade]

satisfactory really needs to let me glue anything to anything else so I can live my dream and make jetpack factory carts

[leaden turret]

👀 Skovde office are looking for a Unity Programmer 👀

😅 is for Valheim, not Satisfactory 😅

[leaden turret]

point being if a new map takes 6-8 years of work, would it not be better to wait for a sequel?

[rotund pivot]

i guess your not wrong but idk about anyone else but for me satisfactory 2 does not sound right i feel like it would just keep getting updates occasionally but maybe thats just me

[shrewd palm]

yeah they have something pretty good already

they should just keep working on it imo

[atomic notch]

Satisfactory 2 electric boogaloo

[unkempt blade]

they should subvert expectation and do a new map for dlc but skip straight to satisfactory 3 for the sequel

[leaden turret]

CSS aren't Blizzard

[unkempt blade]

that sounds like paradox and I can't afford any more 4x games with a 3mo dlc schedule

[leaden turret]

referring to overwatch 2 vs. overwatch 1

[terse bone]

the game really needs the ability to make blueprints anywhere. Should be able to lay out a box around something and have it blueprinted. The pre planning to make stuff in the blueprinter before going out and building something is fairly annoying

[unkempt blade]

bring back OW1!

the bean counters did! and not the good kind of beans like in satis

yeah like an alternative game mode with no conveyors and only factory carts

[leaden turret]

• what would one want from a new map / map expansion?
• can those goals be achieved with existing feature set and mechanics?
• if the length of the time required to for the first question would take too long to wait for a map DLC, is there something that would require new features/mechanics that'd make those wants more expressive?
• if the answer to the second question is no, would the feature need to be exclusive to the new map because balancing? if yes, might be best as sequel.

[shy mulch]

People these days play a game for 5 minutes and start asking about DLC and sequels. Back when I were a lad we went out and found a cool stick and played with that for years, then when it eventually broke we'd go out at find another one

[leaden turret]

cool stick = Dead Leaf Collector

[shy mulch]

It could be anything! The beauty of imagination

I only started playing when 1.0 was released, I'm at a little over 1200 hours and very little of that was afk. When I play a game I really play it. No half measures. I've still got a lot of fun things to do before I even start thinking about mods etc

[atomic notch]

Me and my brothers were always doing sword fights with the sticks so they broke a lot

[shy mulch]

You godda get a bigger stick then! I'm old now and still appreciate a cool stick. Can't beat it

[atomic notch]

Ik dude if you got the biggest stick its like the biggest power move ever

[rustic hare]

mods

[versed mesa]

That would be because there team was or is very small like a 5 person team

[versed mesa]

What can be created in the printer?

Wonder how big there team is right now

[paper yarrow]

i should be buying the game soon it seems cool and looks really high quality

[rustic hare]

note to devs: take more of my money and less of my time please

[versed mesa]

Yeah it is so cool so far and not owned the game for long maybe a week or so now

[paper yarrow]

so from that i take its a great game and its well priced right

and lots of gameplay

[rustic hare]

underpriced yes

[versed mesa]

@rustic hare how much you think its worth 40 pounds ?

Id say 30 to 40

[rustic hare]

10/10 worth it, the amount of time you would spend on the game would actually cost you more than the initial game purchase

[versed mesa]

So true like I paid like 20 pounds if I remember correctly and its on sale right now

[rustic hare]

the gameplay count and exploration, the dedication put into the map is just too much

[versed mesa]

Lol

[rustic hare]

if you value money, use the time that could be spent on the game to work more
if you value time, don't buy the game
if you value pure mental crack from logistic planning, exploration, creation, destruction, buy the game

[rigid mist]

nice i have to make 9576 quickwire per minute now

8 mk6 belts

and 3000/m wire

[feral geyser]

why??

[rigid mist]

1680/m encased uranium cells w/ infused uranium cell alternate

doing 50.4 fuel cells/m

[mystic island]

After playing this game for a while, I have to commend the devs for building such a cool world. The choice for handmade instead of generative was not bad.

Though if I can complain about one thing, it's the lack of ocean that has to be crossed by cargo ships.

[rigid mist]

this

[shy mulch]

Yeah cargo ships would be cool. Not particularly useful, we have plenty ways to move things around, but it would be cool to watch

[glad drum]

guys is polymer resin recipe really bad and basically useless

[feral geyser]

no, it lets you balance HOR and PolyRes production more neatly without needing to sink byproducts by using a combination of refineries instead of all one recipe

[white dawn]

It's a bit niche, for sure. In addition to some balancing stuff like that, I suspect its primary use tends to just be folks automating Polyester Fabric (not that you can't just use some resin byproduct from some other line for that, but it's convenient if you want a dedicated setup)

[cunning siren]

Switching to hoverpack is a fast way to stop velocity 🤔

[feral geyser]

which is crazy cuz like, aside from a few pieces of equipment, the only thing fabric is used for is Gas Filters (and Iodine-Infused, by transitivity), and those don't even require that much

[white dawn]

Heh, yeah, you certainly don't need much of it. :D

[glad drum]

hmmm so basically useless right

like bottom 10 recipes

cause tru all I want is a big of fabric for my fashion designing business and nothing more

[grand owl]

@reef zealot idk if anyone answered your question here #screenshots message but its for Satisfactory's 1 year anniversary

[rigid mist]

while flying through the air, if you activate photo mode, and go to decoupled camera, and wait until you reach the edge of the distance limit, all your velocity gets set to 0.
it's the free version of hoverpack stopping

[feral geyser]

As an example, we were tasked with making a setup that fits in a blueprint that takes in only crude and water, and gives out only packaged fuel with no byproducts, no sink, and 100% efficiency. That was only doable because we could use both recipes to balance HOR and PolyRes in the right amounts, then make Residual Plastic and Diluted Fuel, package and done.

[cunning siren]

TIL you don't have to jump power towers while ziplining 🤔 for some reason I though that was a thing? IDK 🤷

[feral geyser]

Cuz you gotta jump past the smaller power poles, so force of habit probably. But yeah, you can slide right through the towers.

[naive pendant]

For the big poles it's angle based on whether you can skip jumping afaik.

[feral geyser]

Yeah, if the two paths are too close together, you might need to jump to the correct one.

[glad drum]

That's a really good example, you've proven your point and changed my mind. That's really cool!

[cunning siren]

Oh man... the "bonus" for using jetpack with tap tap tap on the thrust for distance and elevation is HUGE!

[magic silo]

no voice chat?

[turbid gazelle]

#screenshots message Kinda reminds me of something...

[rigid glen]

What fuel are you using?

[magic silo]

lame

[cunning siren]

Bio

[dense violet]

well it's not really a elevation tool

[cunning siren]

It helps, give it a shot

[feral geyser]

Is that Interstellar?

[rigid glen]

Liquid?

[cunning siren]

Takes longer for elevation though

[dense violet]

it's still not an elevation tool. More crossing distances while floating above it

[cunning siren]

Yea

[feral geyser]

Lmao what??

Not an elevation tool?

What does that even mean?

[cunning siren]

Ladder? 🤷

[rigid glen]

Liquid biofuel lasts so long per use it's a vertical tool WAY better than regular fuel

[shy fog]

ramps are best...

[dense violet]

it's shitty for gaining elevation easily. That really should be clear.

[cunning siren]

Ramps are pretty OP

[dense violet]

unsurprised you're not following along

[rigid glen]

of course, that's what rocket fuel is for

[cunning siren]

At the start Fortnight skills

[feral geyser]

Yeah, if you're using solid biofuel maybe

[slender quest]

Stackable ladder

[feral geyser]

If you're using any type of liquid fuel and you can't gain elevation, you don't know how to use a jetpack.

[shy fog]

heh... Satisfortnite, "unauthorized hostility towards pioneer" (IMMEDIATELY BUILDS EFFILE TOWER

[slender quest]

Or a cage blueprint.

[feral geyser]

Even liquid biofuel is pretty good when feathering the jump key.

[cunning siren]

Holy Fog batman!

I can't see anything

r.fog 0

saves the day

[feral geyser]

Also, you know what tool is really good for floating above things in place??

The hoverpack

[cunning siren]

Yea but who wants to spend 20 hours lining the map with power poles for that?

[austere ice]

Is this game ever going to come to mac? I loved playing it but i no longer have a windows pc so im just waiting for it to come out on mac 😭

[dense violet]

I'd be surprised

can't use a windows emulator?

[slender quest]

Power towers are great for that!

[feral geyser]

no one plays games on mac

[austere ice]

I will play it on mac 🙏

[slender quest]

Also reminds me how in older times my friend installed Windows on Mac.

[warm phoenix]

My brother do and his library looks sad

[cunning siren]

Except when you try to fly to the other one and it's to far for pack to grab power

Hope you can switch to jetpack fast

[dense violet]

?the hover pack isn't really a travel or exploration tool xD

funnily enough it's painful trying to turn it into one xD

like super painful. And always funny when people try to

[feral geyser]

If you fly high above them, you can catch yourself on the next one when you lose power on the first.

[slender quest]

Just build them with the cable length of 4 or less from one another. Like power poles.
5 works too, but there will be a bit of an "offline" time.

[cunning siren]

Hoverpack is pretty OP for combat though

[feral geyser]

If youre ever fighting near power

[dense violet]

eh sure, but combat isn't anythign special, especially with BPs now. You can paste a fortress and be invincible in 1 click

[cunning siren]

People do that?

[feral geyser]

But powered structures disable spawns, so it's not super likely

[dense violet]

sure

[cunning siren]

This is Fortnight 😆

[feral geyser]

I do that

I have a field shack blueprint

[dense violet]

I've heard it's similar. It sounds like a dumb mechanic in a pub

[slender quest]

I know it's not an intended SUPER HUGE distance, but it's great that it works with hoverpacks.
Btw the best hoverpack distance for power pole requires 2 cables.

[rigid glen]

I would have a cage BP handy if I left aggro on

[feral geyser]

Need it for my F.E.E.T. work

[cunning siren]

I usally "joust" with turbo ammo and jetpack out to reload

[shy fog]

depends on how many nobelisk nukes

If you chained enough bounce pads it could

I wonder if you could incorporate bounce pads into your truck routes

Make a truck elevator or smth

[sick dragon]

You could but they dont play well

[atomic notch]

Ik

Itd be funny watchin trucks jumpin around

[slender quest]

Physics simulation distance makes them freeze in the air after you get far enough, but i didn't try to use autopilot + bounce pads.

[feral geyser]

Cars jumping around on bounce pads? Now this really is Fortnite

[spice moon]

why is the drone listed as a part in the sign icons?

[rigid glen]

To annoy you?

[heavy pine]

Got my nuclear power production ready to go, just need to turn on the uranium miner. And set up the whole production line to process the waste.

[rigid glen]

Gz, I don't think I have the patience

[lament niche]

if I can complain about one thing, it's a lack of locomotive types

[heavy pine]

Thomas the Tank Engine mod?

[cunning glade]

Does this game have anti cheat

[rigid glen]

There must be a mod to change the skins of objects, a choice of train types would be cool

[cunning glade]

Like will optiscaler work for this game

[rigid glen]

I don't think so, it's a solo game, who cares what you do to your save

[lament niche]

<@&387163995947270144>

[cunning glade]

Oh?

What's bad about optiscaler

[cunning glade]

That's what I figured cuz mods work

[mystic island]

Of all options, devs chose to make monorails.

[rigid glen]

Ya, the mods community is pretty big, there are lots of fun ones

[mystic island]

Bad trains

[lament niche]

they work in Japan just fine

[dense violet]

you know you can put two rails next to each other right?

[cunning glade]

I'm so confused why my message got @ too the mods

[lament niche]

still is a monorail

[mystic island]

The only thing monorails got for them is marginal better climbing and cool retrofuturistic look.

If I have to be generous, it's a good gadgetbahn.

[slender quest]

At least it's not a monorail under the rail.

[dense violet]

zero mechanical differences in game

[lament niche]

the ones in sabiscracktory are a more contemporaryfuturistic look

[mystic island]

I'm not sure if that typo was intentional or you really have shaky fingers. Either way you got a chuckle.

[lament niche]

0 differences from the didneyland monorail irl

[lament niche]

sabiscracktory was intentional

[slate totem]

Accurate because they are both as addicting as crack

[violet oyster]

Does anyone have a good video or plan for a TurboFuel power plant? I cant seem to get it to work on Satisfactorytools

[heavy pine]

Uranium waste processing is going to be a tomorrow project, certainly not gonna have time to get deep into it tonight.

[zenith pecan]

How much waste?

[heavy pine]

A good amount. 15 reactors running at 240%.

360 waste/min.

[zenith pecan]

Not so bad then 🙂 , you'll need a place only a third the size of this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvH2myCJoXo , but you'll still have some balancing ahead so you don't get a radioactive snarl up.

[heavy pine]

Oh yeah, I'm not even going to turn on the uranium miner until the waste processing is ready.

[zenith pecan]

Mine used to chew up 1050 waste from 100 reactors.

90gw, though you do end up dealing with waste, to be perfectly honest, I'll stick with my three towers station 😛

[cunning siren]

OH yea! +6 inventory slot HD!

Had to sacrifice silicon circuit board for it 😭

This game sounds great with headphones now for some reason

[dense violet]

turn on compacted coal and turbo fuel alts

[violet oyster]

Ah, Thankyou!

[zenith pecan]

My old turbofuel plant is not really valid with the buffs/changes to fuel generators in 1.0 🙂

[dense violet]

combining the Oil > heavy oil residue alt > diluted packaged fuel, really extends your oil too

and honeslty, diluted fuel might be a simpler option

[zenith pecan]

Dilute is rather amazing 😄

[fresh copper]

i've got a 30mw disparity that corrects for a few seconds every minute or so

[dense violet]

Do turbo if you think it's fun, but Diluted fuel just goes such a long way

[dense violet]

awsome sink?

[fresh copper]

can they fluctuate?

[zenith pecan]

Rocket fuel on the other hand seems to produce a ton of power and no need to care one whit about head lift.

[fresh copper]

doesnt seem to be that, disconnected it its still there

[dense violet]

they only use power when consuming so it's common

is that your only sink?

[fresh copper]

im doing a localized test #screenshots message

wait thats 20mw not 30

[dense violet]

probably a water extractor stuttering

[fresh copper]

no water extractors on this branch to my knowledge

its just a copper factory

ill relog, see if its just tweaking

[dense violet]

well you're under your max consumption so you do have a machien that is often not on that is using exactly 20mw

[fresh copper]

looked around and everything looks green when the disparity is there

ok no looks like it was just bugging

relog fixed it

no nvm its back lol

[dense violet]

w/o being able to snoop around couldn't tell you. I wouldn't stress though, just keep going

[coral sundial]

building my first actual favtory building

we have 270 raw iron going into one floor

its huge

whats the best way to feed 3 diff resoruces to combiners

like plates, rods and screws

stack the belts?

[dull flare]

i want to go with my theme of building one factory for everything in each tier :3

[dull flare]

why would u do that

[teal geyser]

Combiners?

[coral sundial]

because I want to make Reinforced plates and then make moduilar frames

[dull flare]

u need to make plates first

[teal geyser]

Assemblers?!

[dull flare]

then use them to make frames

[coral sundial]

yes

[dull flare]

what’s so hard about it?

[hollow onyx]

anybody else crashing when connecting a pipe to a junction

[coral sundial]

how should I route the belts into the factory is what im asking

[dull flare]

nope

[dull flare]

however u want

[teal geyser]

Whatever way is easiest or looks good

[coral sundial]

im asking whats easiest lol

[teal geyser]

We are saying that there is a million different ways to do it.

Easy ways, hard ways, good looking ways, bad looking ways, etc

It is your world

Have all 3 come into the factory in the same spot IDK

Have 1 belt coming into the factory at one spot, but then have the other 2 don't come into the factory at all and just sit on the outside of the factory not coming into the factory and then you will only have 1 belt coming into the factory instead of 3 belts coming into the factory

[cunning siren]

At least some the hogs are smart and get demoralized 🤷 #NoChance

[cunning glade]

43 refineries can support 6 refineries making fuel from hor the refineries are making plastic with hor as bi product

The gods are taking my hor residue and wasting it

The pipes have 400 flow rate but the refineries aren't getting any wtf

Bet it's the pipe floor holes

[mortal summit]

can u delete items from dimensional depot that have 0/xxxx?

[rustic hare]

with mods, yes

[cunning glade]

It was indeed the floor holes

[coral sundial]

OK the first floor of my iron factory is done and were making 10 modular frames a min

Why is it my bday

[worldly geyser]

this may be caused by you being born on the same day in a previous year
conflagulations, ur slightly older

[versed mesa]

Can we actually create this in game like underground type factory https://youtu.be/aNDbB_Nc2fg?si=g88uNBLMTy_vBB7n

[upper gale]

Satisfactory's birthday

Anniversary party in the hub

[versed mesa]

Looks cool if so

[upper gale]

Dang they've been buggy for so long, ever since they were added I think

[versed mesa]

@upper gale hi can we actually build underground factories?

[zenith pecan]

I've built all sorts under the map.

[versed mesa]

Really how is this possible?

[zenith pecan]

Here's a brief primer on how to get under the map https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rc9T_ZlDv68

[versed mesa]

Cheers

@zenith pecan what the fudge thats cool

[zenith pecan]

Once there, you use similar methods to get through the land barrier and build things like this place https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ga4LcICPnkI , it's just a matter of keep building, before you know it you have half the worlds resources being taken down into the underworld via shafts, feeding your industry that you built like a nuclear refinforced bunker.

[versed mesa]

Ill look now that awesome i would not mind a nice underground factory also in the future

[zenith pecan]

It takes a bit of practice and a few terrain penetrating blueprints to do consistently, just be mindful that a mis-step will result in a death by scenic view.

[rocky rock]

is there a bug in 1.1 where items get deleted from the world when you deconstruct a storage container and don't have enough inventory space for everything?

[zenith pecan]

Also subsurface construction is NOT supported in any way shape or form, if things go tits up for any reason, you are so on your own.

[rocky rock]

I've noticed a couple times that items appear to have gone missing, including power slugs

no crate gets created on the ground

[zenith pecan]

Not that I've seen, but overflow items get combined into fewer boxes rather than having them appear per dismantle.

Items might just be in a dismantle box that is near enough but you didn't know was there, or worse inside terrain, which will suck in repeated overflowing dismantles within range.

[rocky rock]

I'm not seeing new dismantle crates appear on the map

unless it's teleporting my items to a distant dismantle crate from when I deconstructed some stairs I built while exploring

[versed mesa]

Wow this is mind blown i would not mind something like this is anyone allow to come visit and see it ?

[rocky rock]

I'll check that crate to see if that's what's happening

[zenith pecan]

I don't know the max range of the altered system so I can't comment reliably.

[rocky rock]

if so it's free item teleportation

[versed mesa]

Rip

[zenith pecan]

When I feel the save is working adequately, I will be happy to simply share the file, right now, there is only partial working industry and I'm sort of on a break 🙂

[zenith pecan]

I also tend to build on a very large scale, here's an example #screenshots message

[rocky rock]

a giant underground biome would have been awesome

[versed mesa]

Cool

[rocky rock]

sprawling cave network under the entire map to provide alternate logistics routes

[versed mesa]

Love it so cool

[zenith pecan]

Their caves and my tunnels would likely not align, mine are all right angles and tend to innervate the entire world, I think Hannah's would be more localised and definitely not in keeping with my very concrete sense of order 😛

[zenith pecan]

That one building processes the entire worlds supply of Bauxite.

[versed mesa]

Or my lord

@zenith pecan ive nit unlocked Bauxite yet but ive got little amount what will that be used for ?

[zenith pecan]

Erk!, I wasn't thinking when I raised it, to be honest, experiment and play with it, I'd hate to spoil things hard.

[versed mesa]

Ok thanks good on you lol

[zenith pecan]

Also, don't abandon the lower mark belts, without looking too deep into whats moving, look how cool the right speed in the right place looks 😄 #design-and-architecture message , and ignore the discord ping, it got caught when I recorded the clip 🤣

[versed mesa]

Yeah dont spoil it for me since am new lol

[zenith pecan]

You only really play the first time and see things that way once, the most important thing is have fun 🙂

[versed mesa]

I agree

[zenith pecan]

Getting back to subsurface building, you only have what you take with you to build on, buying the pure concrete walls and foundations will help immensely.

You can get them really early.

[versed mesa]

At the awesome store right

[zenith pecan]

Yes, my earliest coupons from that were earned by sinking screws, only really good for a fast first half dozen but works for the concrete.

[versed mesa]

Can you you make them belts any slower lmao

[versed mesa]

Awesome

[zenith pecan]

The slow belts are decided on based on how much stuff goes through the factory.

[versed mesa]

Ok

[zenith pecan]

You can have really fast feed a group, then as its all divided up, you get to slow them down if you want to.

[versed mesa]

I see

[zenith pecan]

The goal is mostly aesthetic, but it also keeps the place looking like all the conveyors are full or mostly, mega fast items zooming and then looking empty didn't really work well for me 🙂

[versed mesa]

Ok

[magic valley]

Okay, I'm daring to try my hand at nuclear power for the first time. In the endgame, I have access to everything. Any advice, tips, or tricks you can share?

[versed mesa]

@zenith pecan how long you been playing for ?

[zenith pecan]

While the game is much more optimised, be mindful of how much you build in relation to your computers power and its ram, you can overbuild to the point your machine will refuse to load it.

[zenith pecan]

I've been playing since update 3 early access, so several years for sure, one of my saves has more than 3000 hours in it, that one did it's job throughout early access, I restarted after 1.0 release.

[versed mesa]

Awesome

[zenith pecan]

Moving the radioactive items can have less of a radioactive impact if you load balance, here's an example: #satisfactory-experimental message : the reactor hall in that old save is utterly radiation free.

The clip is mega old 😛

[versed mesa]

@zenith pecan how many do you think is part of the team working on this game ?

[zenith pecan]

Errr, I've never paid it much thought, I merely ran experiments and presented my findings to other players and even the devs during early access.

[versed mesa]

I see ok

@zenith pecan am gonna guess between 5 and 10 who knows

[strange vigil]

Yo yo, does this happen to anyone else?
Using the straight feature when building conveyer and it puts a little hook at the end?

I've seen that happen since 1.1, best bet if not actually putting a right angle in, switch to default.

[strange vigil]

Oh can I actually not put images in here

Yeah okay! I'll try that instead

[zenith pecan]

Yeah, #screenshots , #design-and-architecture and/or #1038092680493801533 for screenshots, you can right click said comment and copy link and paste that in here.

[cunning siren]

There are so many funky build tricks in this game, I learn more each day 🤔

[dense violet]

if you look up architecture vids you can find a lot more. Very useful even if you use placement mods. Sometimes it's just much more accurate and less fiddly doing something vanilla than with something like Infinite Nudge

[strange vigil]

Yeah cool as

[dense violet]

build in regular mode

[zenith pecan]

Already suggested 😛

[dense violet]

apparently needed a 2nd suggestion xD

[zenith pecan]

I think that was the follow up with being able to post a screenshot in here.

[strange vigil]

^

Appreciate the second suggestion tho!

[zenith pecan]

Decent way of being sure I didn't post complete bollocks too, having it confirmed 🫡

I do need to be more mindful of spoiling the game, I really didn't think earlier when I posted my rather huge factory ..

[strange vigil]

Its fun seeing other peoples creations

I just hit Phase 4 anad already looking forward to my second playthrough

[zenith pecan]

My post history is full of some truly monstrous constructs, but it is getting a chore to search through, I just haven't been able to get the motivation to make a greatest hits or large scale tours onto youtube really.

[strange vigil]

That's going to be me

[zenith pecan]

My "three towers" installation is an example of when power generation goes insane.

Here's its output #satisfactory-experimental message

[strange vigil]

Pretty good!

I have 5k consumtion, 6k production and 14.5k max consumtion 🙁

consumption even

[zenith pecan]

Here's a brief look at what the place looks like #satisfactory-experimental message

[strange vigil]

Crazy! Thats what mine is going to look like

Phase 4 and I haven't even touched sulfur yet oh dear

[cunning siren]

❤️ belt throughput monitor OH man super handy

[strange vigil]

How cool is it! Such a great addition to the game

[dense violet]

the counters are often not reliable.
You're better off looking at the consumer or producer's lights to see if everythign is working fine

[strange vigil]

I've found they are pretty reliable, for me anyway

[dense violet]

to double check you'd want to make sure the machines aren't stuttering.

and at that point, just check teh machines

and if there is a flow issue, your machines will light up and tell you something is wrong.

It's a gimmick at best

[strange vigil]

I can tell if there is a problem by looking at the counter tho

And not going one by one through the machines

[zenith pecan]

The counters are a handy tool within a set for troubleshooting systemic issues.

[dense violet]

you don't look at every single machine individually, you look at the top row of the machines

[strange vigil]

Or you could look at the counter

[dense violet]

if it's accurate. Which again, it often isn't especially depending where you place them

much like the efficiency counters on individual machines aren't super reliable

[strange vigil]

They wont work if you dont place them on the belt

[zenith pecan]

In my case, a counter helped me find a missed bit if mk4 belt in the midst of a mk5 chain that caused an epic snarl up in my 4800 ingot steel foundry,

[strange vigil]

Would love to be able to connect a wire to it and have it display on a screen panel or something

[stray herald]

@strange vigil Duuuuuuuuuuude that little curve in straight belts kills me every time 😭

[grim ermine]

I'm sorry is that one terawatt

[dull flare]

only with constant flow of items

not with small “bursts”

or just not constant flow of items in general

[zenith pecan]

Slightly over.

[grim ermine]

Thats insane

What're you using to generate that?

[zenith pecan]

Rocket fuel and boosted using poer augmentors in the support tower.

[grim ermine]

Thats crazy man

[zenith pecan]

Wait until I finally add all the worlds uranium into a nuclear installation, It'll likely surpass 2tw.

[grim ermine]

What would you ever need that much power for 😭

[zenith pecan]

Nothing, just building for the sake of it, my current generation will never be fully used because my pc would melt before I even hit that consumption, even with portals and clocked accelerators.

[grim ermine]

I thought making 125000MW was impressive and then yku just go and make like 10x that Lol

[cursive crane]

Lizard doggo bütthºle research

[grim ermine]

Not the lizard doggos 😔

[zenith pecan]

If its fully supplying your needs, that is perfectly fine, it'll run the entire show past end game, I tend to go overkill for its own sake, here's what happened when I let a small quartz project get away from me: #screenshots message , lets just say the result was a lot bigger than I planned for.

[grim ermine]

Nice

[spice moon]

is the amount of dimensional storages you can make total limited by the amount of mercer spheres on the map?

or is there another way to make them at some point

[zenith pecan]

Limited by spheres.

[green fiber]

Theres like 300 spheres i think?

[true mulch]

no way

[green fiber]

But a few of them get sacrificed to the MAM

[spice moon]

ok. thats more than i thought. my fears are mostly quelled then

[true mulch]

oh you're right

[zenith pecan]

The research uses quite a few spheres.

[spice moon]

also i have yet to find a single somersloop. did they make them harder to find or have i just been rather unlucky in my wanderings

[true mulch]

There are roughly 60 items worth storing, 40 of which are building materials and the rest ammo

There's much less of them

[frail sleet]

some are worth 5+ depots on though

like concrete

[true mulch]

Yeah but that's only a few

[spice moon]

does having multiple increase how many you can have stored or just the upload speed

[frail sleet]

upload speed

[true mulch]

You can just upload in parallel

[zenith pecan]

Most thankfuly are one depot feeds, concrete, I have six and can still overrun it if I build like a complete toon.

[true mulch]

The upload speed is per uploader, not per item type

[spice moon]

gotcha gotcha

[frail sleet]

I have a blueprint for 108 foundations (756 concrete) and when i was in stride, i was getting about 50 clicks per min. So 37,800 concrete per min (315 depots)

with that context in mind, 10 doesn't sound so bad 😛

[green fiber]

You were spamming those at 0.833 / sec ?

[frail sleet]

Yeah

[spice moon]

i feel like placing that many things at once would brick my game

[true mulch]

You can zoop 10 foundations at a rate below 1/s

[zenith pecan]

I thought I built too quickly when I blueprinted entire tunnel sections.

[true mulch]

If you position yourself correctly, it's plausible

[frail sleet]

Actually i did not sustain that rate, but the average was around the speed of 100x depots.

just doublechecked the math

It's like, a single click takes 5 depots a whole minute to replace.

[spice moon]

...you can place wall outlets upside down? the heck. i coulda sworn i couldnt earlier

[frail sleet]

aren't they symmetrical

[true mulch]

On ceilings or rotated on walls?

[spice moon]

specifically a floating foundation

[true mulch]

Wdym

You can build pipe/HT supports on ceilings too

[zenith pecan]

Like this #screenshots message , I frequently use wall/ceiling outlets on the floor.

[spice moon]

huh. interesting

oh. it was probably cause i had been trying with the dual wall one

[next plover]

did something happen to the character color palette? my purple overalls appear orange.

[versed mesa]

Not long ago I had gotten the 4k spaghetti achievement lol

So that now makes me another spaghetti expert lmao

[next plover]

oh the hazmat suit changes your colors =/

[frail sleet]

it has a weird quirk or bug that screws with one of the color channels

i think it was blue? As in it only shows green and red properly

[spice moon]

i put the only computers i've found so far in a chest somewhere and now i've lost track of where they were when i need them

[true mulch]

Lol, keep crates for stuff like this near the HUB

[spice moon]

that is what i normally would do. i have no clue why i didnt

[peak wasp]

I can't wait to run satisfactory on max graphics and use a mod to further increase them on my 8 year old pc

[spice moon]

oh are there graphics mods for this game?

[peak wasp]

Yeah

There's only 1 on mod manager I believe though

My pc gonna die

It'll still run better than warzone though

[atomic crest]

How far apart do tracks need to be to avoid the signal loops back on itself error

[reef basin]

1 foundation

[atomic crest]

As in the centre?

Of each individual rail? Or is it hitbox to hitbox

[reef basin]

middle of foundation and middle of next foundation is the minimal distance

[atomic crest]

Ive done that

Still getting the error

[reef basin]

share image in #1038092680493801533 with segment colors

[rustic hare]

does it even care about length?

[reef basin]

no? it cares about train hitboxes not crossing

[rustic hare]

then why did you answer with 1 foundation when they asked how far apart, aka length?

[reef basin]

"length" is usually when you're talking about e.g. "length of a track", not "distance between tracks"

[atomic crest]

#1417792932324573214

[rustic hare]

does distance between tracks even matter if they aren't connected (not on the same block), and therefore the block signal cannot loop into itself, unable to create that message?

[reef basin]

it does matter, if the blocks overlap

[rustic hare]

so it's overlap distance is 1 foundation?

[reef basin]

afaik it's a bit smaller, but 1 foundation makes sure you can also do turns with it. The "distance" is however close the trains need to be to crash

[rustic hare]

alright thanks, learned something today

[fickle walrus]

OIL

[final trail]

OIL

[spice moon]

do the resources around crash sites respawn ever?

[leaden turret]

no

-# yes, but only if someone has borked a world map update

[grim ermine]

Glorp?

[versed mesa]

Why will it not allow me to swim to the other side ?

I get so far then its like am about to fall off down

So i turn back quickly

[spark sky]

Hm, so we have a Dimensional Depot Uploader, is there a Dimensional Depot Downloader (how do we get stuff out of the thing)?

[spice moon]

you can just pull stuff out through your inv or when building it'll automatically pull stuff out

[spark sky]

I thought the Dimensional Depots were supposed to be used (at least partially) to move stuff across the map without having to build rails/roads/etc..

[spice moon]

nah they arent teleporters for items. think of it as an expanded inventory that you can hook conveyors up to to put stuff into it

[unkempt blade]

factory carts on the other hand DO move items across the map

[spark sky]

Yeah, well, that means that you'd have to build one for each item, and production would stop as soon as the "cloud" storage got full.

[reef basin]

That's exactly what they aren't for

[reef basin]

That's where smart splitter overflow to sink comes to play

[unkempt blade]

each item you want in the cloud at least

[zenith pecan]

Commonly used ammo for the cloud too 😀

[true mulch]

this is a game about logistics and that would remove the logistics part of the game

[spark sky]

So, what I really want to do with a DD is put it as one of the things I'm directing output to from a manufacturing line, just to keep it full for building.

[true mulch]

factory -> container -> DDU

[limpid cairn]

Guys yes or no

[spark sky]

BTW, you know how we can put splitters and mergers on a vertical lift? I see how you can make a vertical manifold that way, on one vertical lift, but there seems to be no way to make a vertical load balancer (with say, a merger in the middle and two splitters top and bottom), because putting a merger in the middle doesn't change the direction of one half of the vertical lift.

[limpid cairn]

You place them on lifts

[spark sky]

Yeah, but there is no way to make the center of the lift be the input with the top and bottom (and the splitters in-between) be the outputs.

(I was trying to figure out a way to keep that whole balanced distribution in one vertical line.)

[spice moon]

wouldnt that require a single lift to be moving in two different directions?

[spark sky]

Or, allow you to delete the top part of the lift and attach another lift to the top, going into it from both drections (perhaps attached to the other side of the hole).

You can delete the output end of the lift and just split that two times, but you can't add an input to the lift other than a merger, and then that only feeds one direction vertically.

Hm, I wonder if there's a way I can at least fake it in order to show what I mean....

[sweet tusk]

If I fill up my pipes and then turn off the extractors and machines using the pipes, will they stay full?

[spark sky]

Wait, no, because when you delete the end merger/splitter it puts a lift end in it's place.

[reef basin]

What's the question?

[spark sky]

Good question.

Perhaps they were asking if "factory -> container -> DDU" was right.

[spice moon]

or perhaps their name

[limpid cairn]

Already got answered Dw

[spark sky]

I know what I was thinking of, instead of placing a splitter/merger on an existing lift, having actual vertical splitters/mergers (with inputs/outputs on the top/bottom in a vertical plane, just like the ones in the horizontal plane) and the ability to place vertical lift pieces between them (like we put belts between horizontal splitters/mergers).

Oh well, back to working with what we've got...

[cunning siren]

It sounds like you may be saying the game allows moving stuff in the horizontal with more flexibility than the vertical, and having more flexibility in the vertical may be a helpful change

[spark sky]

Yes, essentially, I'm in the process of building something that will functionally work for what I'm talking about, but with a regular splitter in between to feed the two vertical lifts. Then I can post the screenshot.

[atomic notch]

Iirc theres a mod that lets you rotate stuff like that though im not sure how well it works

[spice moon]

ok. got my 40th coal generator up and running. hopefully that lasts me longer than 20 did

[peak quail]

do you need any other material than aluminum produce aluminum

[slender quest]

Yes, water, then choose between coal, silica and petroleum coke.

[limpid cairn]

im recommending petrolum coke

[cunning siren]

The more specific answer to that question depends on what alternate recipes you have currently 🤷

[spark sky]

I'm trying to do things without mods. So I'm having to work out ways to do things. I don't mind the ends of lifts clipping into things as long as they work and aren't in a place where they affect the aesthetics of my build, but then being able to nudge lifts would be nice.

[atomic notch]

Bauxite

[peak quail]

ok but do you need water or other materials

[cunning siren]

Here is an example of "maxing out a pure bauxite" node with MK5 belts in some areas AND no alternate recipes: https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production?share=KjLzqPKSiPm0AIfuQOdr

[silk ivy]

hey guys anyone got a layout for a fuel power plant i could use

[slender quest]

Quick solution: put 4 fuel generators into 5x5 blueprint machine.

[silk ivy]

wait do different types of fuel give more power or do all fuel powered generators give the same power

[cunning siren]

Both

Power gens always generate the same amount of power, it's a good idea to shard them

AND fuel type dictates for how long per unit

[versed mesa]

Are we able unlock stuff like stairs for getting up high ?

Ive not seen any stairs where abouts ?

[cunning siren]

There are stairs that are angled higher than the ramp foundations yes

There are also ladders

[versed mesa]

Where abouts ?

In sink shop am guessing ?

[zealous ravine]

Is there anyway to complete ly get rid of spiders from games?
I'm arachnophobia, I really hate ****ING spiders. Obviously I already turned on arachnophobia mode after knowing there are spiders in the game, but I already know there are spiders behind the cats hologram. And after killing them cats holo go away and spider bodies left uncensored. The existing of spiders really make me sick.
I just want true arachnophobia mode

[cunning siren]

Oooof

[dense violet]

mods

if passive mode doesn't work for you

[cunning siren]

This staircase can get you more vertical with less horizontal space: https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Catwalk_Ramp

Default FICSIT Ramp from Tier 1 works too 🤷

[zealous ravine]

Thanks! Passive mode helps me a lot. but cat's purr sounds make me know there are spiders, it make me sick.

[versed mesa]

Yeah that will do i am guessing I get it unlocked in sink shop ?

[shy mulch]

No need to guess. Just look at the shop, there's only a couple of tabs of things to look at

[versed mesa]

I was looking earlier

[cunning siren]

Be sure to get the Modern Catwalks one

DO not get Industrial Walkways, cuz no staircases 🤷

[versed mesa]

Am doing fuel foundation factory bill going to make it clean as possible with colour

[versed mesa]

Ok

[shy mulch]

Just get everything, cos why not?

[cunning siren]

Eventually OH yea!

[boreal musk]

advanced game setting > disable arachnic

[cunning siren]

I guess one of the reasons I don't do that is because it will clutter the menu and I don't really use most of them yet anyway 🤷

[shy mulch]

he already explained why that wasn't enough

[dull flare]

u can maybe try to replace the texture in game files

or just use mods

[boreal musk]

no the one he does is arachnophobia mode, not the one that disables stingers

this is exclusive from AGS

[pine tulip]

When creating a new save there is a setting to completely remove them

[boreal musk]

which turned off achievement as trade off

[zealous ravine]

WHAT

[cunning siren]

That is nice feature

[zealous ravine]

I already use mods so I don't care about achievements

[boreal musk]

well mods doesnt disable achievements

ags does

[zealous ravine]

In the first place, why there are spiders in this game? they just suffer peoples and 　has absolutely nothing to do with the fun of the game.
Having spiders in games should be banned by international law.

[cunning siren]

If you use this website to upload your current save you can avoid using a mod to enable the feature 🤷. Another option: https://satisfactory-calculator.com/en/interactive-map

Like so: #screenshots message

[upper gale]

I kinda agree they really went overboard with the model for no reason 😹 other than to make people freak out. Especially the big ones that also jump

[dense violet]

well they are just monster critters. Vaguely spider like

[zealous ravine]

Me when seeing spiders 😭
WHEN THEY JUMP 💀 🤮 💀

[cunning siren]

OOooof

[dense violet]

lots of things jump
doesn't make them kangaroos

[zenith pecan]

You can use arachnophobe mode and have cat heads instead.

[dense violet]

and jumping spiders are the cutest little buddies

[cunning siren]

#satisfactory message

Though the AGS does completely disable them 🤔

Apparently

[zealous ravine]

Making creatures passive was the best QoL improvement.
Fighting aliens with crappy rifle (and I have to make and carry ammos!) is not enjoyable at all

[boreal musk]

they should add nuclear stinger

[peak wasp]

They should also add a creature that one shots you and is faster than you.

[cunning siren]

It's nice that the Dev's made the changes they did to attempt to accommodate folk

[upper gale]

Accomodations, you mean attonement for their sins? Jk

[zenith pecan]

Just spam nukes and watch the landscape burn.

[cunning siren]

It's somewhat funny how some games "create pain" AND then "offer a reward" in relation to the "created pain" 😆. The Devs: "Lets make the players suffer horrifically and then give them goals to slowly alleviate it"

[upper gale]

Yeah, biomass burner

Although the biomass burner doesn't feel as bad ever since they added a way to hook up conveyors to it

[cunning siren]

OMG, I had no idea there was a time that was not a thing 🤔

[zenith pecan]

Less babysitting for sure, chuck biomass into a can and watch it feed the burners.

[cunning siren]

I just had an idea for a macro that would allow "hand feeding" stuff to be a "one button" thing instead of "a bunch of buttons" thing 🤔

Factorio is nice about hand fedding stuff like that

[unkempt blade]

Yeah I think new-player-me would have gotten a lot more benefit from it than I do now. It's just a mad rush for coal power now so I feel like I refill burners maybe once

[upper gale]

Lol true
Get to coal just to be able to play at a relaxed pace

[boreal musk]

ive restarted so many times that speed running phase 1 is like a normal tuesday

always reach coal in 1-2 hrs

[cunning siren]

Nice

I've done ~6 playthroughs AND it's been ~1 year since I did 5 of them so, kind of rusty
