satisfactory

[scenic mirage]

yeah push/pull setup, a locomotive on each side of the freight cars

[green fiber]

have you considered that its the train inside the station thats being detected?

because there are no other signals inbetween here?

[scenic mirage]

#screenshots message
i have this setup on the ends of the rail, exits to the right hitting a path signal then 2 blocks, then enters through the right side and a path and 2 blocks

it was working perfectly fine a few days ago and i didnt change anything either which is what makes me so confused

[green fiber]

the thing is that the one other piece of track going up a ramp that isnt actualy connected to the others also has a blue color

so they are counted as the same block

there HAS to be another train SOMEWHERE along this entire network

[scenic mirage]

but thats the issue, it was working fine before and the trains were actually running then suddenly it just stopped

[clever merlin]

anyone have the issue where dismantle wont target

[green fiber]

btw, i saw you use some path signals on a straight piece of track that just leads into another block signals - why?
theres a second block signal right after so the path signal serves no purpose there

[hard ivy]

you probably have it in blueprint mode

[clever merlin]

wat the kenbind for that

[hard ivy]

R?

[clever merlin]

o0o

ty

proable been doing that the whole time lol

it easy for me to do i keep switching in and out of zoom when playcing

proable just hit it out of mucle memory lol

[scenic mirage]

i deleted the path signals now and its still saying block occupied

[green fiber]

idk then shit's screwed

[scenic mirage]

😭 fuck

[green fiber]

average push-pull setup falling apart

could also be 1.1 being quirky with signals and whatnot

[limpid cairn]

its always worth lol

[hard ivy]

if it says that, it means there's a train somewhere between that signal and the next signal. so far, I haven't seen a screenshot proving there isn't one

[hard ivy]

it's rarely worth it

[scenic mirage]

it was working literally 3 days ago tho, ive just been busy w work and havent been able to play

[spice patio]

It can time for a deadlock to occur.
So that it was working doesn't mean there wasn't latent problem.

[atomic notch]

My pc is so bad i gotta use vulkan

[cunning siren]

WUUUUT? Are not not running windows?

[spice patio]

Either GPU driver issue, or monitor plugged into MB and not GPU.

[cunning siren]

Game is funny... it's like: "OH you want to open build menu while flying? Let me disable your flight controls for you! You're welcome!" 😆

[limpid cairn]

hoverpack ❤️

[dull flare]

how to do the pipe priority thing

[hard ivy]

check pins in #math-and-meta for the plumbing manual

[limpid cairn]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/images/Pipeline_Manual.pdf?2090cd

[atomic notch]

No its just that bad

[limpid cairn]

what gpu do you own?

[atomic notch]

Rx5500xt

Also yeah its on linux

[limpid cairn]

makes sense

dx12 only works on windows afaik

[atomic notch]

Ill prooly boot back to windows when i get better hardware tho

[true mulch]

did you try switching to vulkan?

[spice patio]

He said he is using Vulkan.
And I tried to find out why.

[scenic mirage]

i fixed it, one of my tracks was just a slight bit too small for 2 locomotives and 4 freight cars and it would leak out of the signals

[peak wasp]

So bad idea for myself

What happens if I create multiple levels of highways

[spiral summit]

god there is nothing more annoying than the game not letting me NUDGE THE PILLAR UP

[cunning siren]

One of the two pure NW most limestone depots does not show up AND i can place a miner on it 😆

Shows up on scanner, does not show up graphicly

[shy mulch]

what coordinates?

Hmmm, need to figure out a design for 76 manufacturers that doesn't look like a big boring blob/box

This is the part I'm not good at

[solemn crystal]

try using desending dark
gives you alot of iframes

[cunning siren]

I wish lifts worked with nudge 🤷 😭

[solemn crystal]

did you try using desending dark?
it gives alot of iframes

[cunning siren]

Desending dark?

[solemn crystal]

yea

descending dark
gives alot of iframes

[cunning siren]

Can you help us understand what that is?

[heavy pine]

Floor holes do. I'll put a floor hole where I plan to have a lift, nudge it a couple hundred meters into the sky, and then let the lift snap up to it.

[solemn crystal]

its a move that gives alot of iframes

[shy mulch]

Thanks I'll go have a look, wonder if I used it already or not 😄 I don't use the scanner much these days so might have missed it

[cunning siren]

Maybe somebody not as lazy as me will report the bug too 😆

[shy mulch]

points to name I'll think about reporting it for a few months

Just keep mentioning it on here until someone who isn't lazy actually reports it properly

[solemn crystal]

you should try using descending dark instead
it gives alot of iframes 👍

[shy mulch]

What on earth are you even talking about

[solemn crystal]

descending dark
gives alot of iframes 👍

[shy mulch]

Just checked, I am already using that one. Wonder how I didn't notice or remember

[cunning siren]

"It's a move"

🤷

[solemn crystal]

ok but in all seriousness its from hollow knight
basically if anyone has an issue you just tell them "did you try using descending dark? it gives alot of iframes"

because its a move that gives alot of iframes 👍

[shy mulch]

I just started reporting your comments as spam tbh

[cunning siren]

Trolling, got it

[solemn crystal]

yea but it sounds funny as hell wehn someone gets confused by it

i wont do that tho

maybe in #off-topic-general i would

[mellow elm]

Is it normal for the Conveyor Throughput Monitor to fluctuate?

I have 4 constructors creating 35 iron plates. All 4 merge into a single 1200 belt. All 4 are being fed by a 1200 belt. They are operating at 100% efficiency, and have been running at this rate for several hours.

The Conveyor Throughput Monitor fluctuates between 135, and 144. All of my other monitors are rock solid. They show an exact amount. This is the only belt that does fluctuates. Is it a known issue? Or is there something with this particular setup that is messing with it?

[shy mulch]

funny to who? you're the only one I can see here who even knows what the joke is or means, to everyone else it's just spam

[solemn crystal]

tried to input a different material?

[shy fog]

I find it rather weird that I can easily just fly around building power poles along the way to gather hard drives...

[mellow elm]

Input a different material?

[fiery pewter]

Why?

[solemn crystal]

different item, like one of the items that arent fluctuating

[shy fog]

just feels too easy as I watch the spiders jump at me, miss, and fly off a cliff

[shy mulch]

the throughput monitor shows a running average over the last minute, if the outputs aren't perfectly uniform then it's completely normal for it to appear to fluctuate a bit, press E on the monitor to see the graph

[solemn crystal]

even easier if you make power towers and just zipline across, because those have like infinite reach

[fiery pewter]

But is should be at 140/min then

Power towers aren't the cheapest early game

[cursive python]

i am constantly checking this discord for 1,2 updates/teasers. Coffee Stain PLS

[solemn crystal]

nor is the hoverpack

hes talking about hover pack flight

[mellow elm]

If I press 'E' on it the graphic looks like a heart rate monitor. lol. It goes from 0, to 240, over and over. It makes no sense.

[mellow elm]

Yes. It should be. But it isn't. And I don't know why.

[solemn crystal]

that means your items are having a heart attack 😂

[true mulch]

per-minute values are averages

[shy mulch]

it's measuring items that go through it, most stuff isn't a perfectly smooth flow

[true mulch]

this is simply caused by the monitor having a 60 second history

there's a machine cycle that doesn't align

[shy mulch]

ondar while you're here can I be grumpy about the wiki please

[true mulch]

if I'm producing 0.2 fuel rods per minute and I put them on a mk6 belt, I am briefly transporting 1200/min and then 0/min for quite a while

[true mulch]

I'm all ears

[shy mulch]

I had it open on my personal pc while I was working, and out of the blue one of the adverts started playing music, took me ages to work out what was going on

I reported the advert to google as spam, but doubt that actually does anything, just made me feel better 😛

[mellow elm]

Would a solution be to let the counter 0 out, and then turn all the machines on simultaneously with a power line?

[cunning siren]

An advert from a browser got through your adblockers? Wuuuuut?

[true mulch]

@shy mulch ^

[worldly geyser]

nag that syncs the machines and makes the flow fluctuating worse

[true mulch]

sorry that you got to see a bad ad

[worldly geyser]

u would need to stagger the machines

[cunning siren]

I use noscript so it does not matter if it's blacklisted 😆

[shy mulch]

I don't use ad blockers. I understand websites need to make money to run, I encourage ads, as long as they aren't intrusive. If an ad is intrusive I report it to the website owner, if no action is taken then I simply stop using that website

[true mulch]

you can try, but ultimately I think the problem is trusting the throughput monitors to begin with (at least in their current implementation) :/ @mellow elm

[true mulch]

while that's commendable, your sanity also has a value

you can turn ad blocking off for select sites

[solemn crystal]

+STAGGER?

[shy mulch]

my sanity died years ago

[true mulch]

I can see why

[solemn crystal]

your family bloodline will be cursed with 3 unskippable 1 minute ads every youtube video you watch for the next 1000 years

[shy mulch]

I use youtube premium

[solemn crystal]

dosent matter

[solemn crystal]

dude actually pays to get no ads when pihole exists

[shy mulch]

it's an irrelevant amount of money to save me some hassle

[solemn crystal]

yea but it adds up over years

im just sayin thats alot of money lost

[zenith pecan]

What hassle, ubo just blocks ads, and no-script plus some ubo elements blocks adblock blockers.

[cunning siren]

[shy mulch]

every time you buy food instead of growing it yourself it costs more money, not really an argument there

[plain gate]

except that you can "grow food" by clicking two buttons

[solemn crystal]

i host it on my home server

[plain gate]

who wouldnt grow food if thats the case?

[shy mulch]

clicking 2 buttons, how is that growing food?

[plain gate]

actually thats not really true either unless you have a massive farm, economies of scale

[plain gate]

ask yourself what your shitty analogy is

[shy mulch]

so you'd rather spend the money you have buying food, instead of producing it, because it's more efficient for you, absolutely solid analogy, you get it!

[plain gate]

no, buying food is cheaper...

[solemn crystal]

you would grow food in this situation
but the situatioin we're in here
imagine you're paying more money for the exact same product only because its more convinient for you

[plain gate]

do mangoes grow in siberia?

[reef basin]

it's not

[plain gate]

not without a massive greenhouse

[solemn crystal]

man im done with ts im gonna go play forsaken
im out

[reef basin]

buying some food may be cheaper

[shy mulch]

I often do, I love paying for convenience

[fleet crest]

is it normal that the FPS cap doesn't work with DirectX12?

[plain gate]

in general buying food is cheaper

[reef basin]

hard disagree

[shy mulch]

absolutely isn't, if that was the case then every farm would be running at a loss?

[reef basin]

I buy seeds, plant vegetables, water them a bit here and there and get basically free food at the end

[plain gate]

thats only true for foods that can actually grow in your agricultural zone

[reef basin]

hence why some

[shy mulch]

irrelevant pedantry

[plain gate]

because they have the scale to produce a lot of it

[plain gate]

holy fuck i said in general

they mean the same thing

[shy mulch]

yeahhh, you're so close to getting it, keep going

[reef basin]

where the f is "in general" in the message I replied to #satisfactory message

[plain gate]

implicitly

[plain gate]

^

[cunning siren]

OH man! Infinite nudge with power tower placements can be handy 🤔

[shy mulch]

Farmers: Have infrastructure to produce food, have knowledge to produce food consistently, can produce food cheaply
Non Farmers: Do not have infrastructure, probably don't have knowledge, attempts to produce food will yield poor results and may end up less efficient than just buying it

Quite a simple concept I thought was easily understood

[plain gate]

yeah....?

[shy mulch]

So where's the disagreement? That was my point all along

[plain gate]

i was disagreeing on the analogy you made with food vs using an adblocker

[shy mulch]

How does it differ

[plain gate]

i dont know how buying food compares to installing a browser extension

or a pihole

[shy mulch]

For a browser extension, I need to vet it to understand the security implications, for a pihole I need to obtain some way of hosting it, research how to actually set it up, configure it etc.
For people who already have/know these things, go for it
For me personally, just spending some money and forgetting about it forever is a better option

[peak wasp]

Can I turn the farmers into biofuel to power my factory

[dull flare]

is there a way to check how many drives im missing?

[shy mulch]

satisfactory calculator interactive map - google it

[peak wasp]

After all people aren't needed in this game outside of us pioneers.

[zenith pecan]

My pi hole runs on its own linux box, a retired mini pc, it was pretty straight forward to set up.

[plain gate]

yeah makes sense, i would just argue that unless you make 100 an hour or soemthing, say it takes an hour to research a (pretty well known) extension, and that saves u 200 a year, you've essentially given yourself a pay of 200 for one hour of work

[solemn crystal]

ok guys he likes his own opinion yall can leave him alone

👍

[cunning siren]

Having a build radius indicator for power items would be nice

[shy mulch]

At work I have to think constantly, brain is always on the go, I put a very high value on not having to think about anything in my personal time

[solemn crystal]

i have something similar, i have a DIYNAS, basically a retired windows pc that i put 20tb into, made a raid-5 storage, and also added the pihole server to it(yes i added a network card im not crazy)

[limpid cairn]

Im so proud of myself for reaching tier 9 without having to leave the desert really. 😛

[solemn crystal]

it has alot of resources so its justified 👍

[zenith pecan]

I kept the old mini pc as simple as it gets, tiny m.2 drive, 8gb of ram, and completely fixed purpose, that way if it decides to suffer a single event upset, restarting it is just a matter of cutting power and restarting without knocking my file server out.

[limpid cairn]

Only copper and iron really

I had to import crystal and bauxite sadly

[solemn crystal]

i just.. didnt put a password, and made a macro on startup to start pihole

ok my foods here time to eatr

[cunning siren]

Some shroom things in the water can be chainsawed and others can not 🤔

[prime jasper]

I started making a rocket fuel factory and then I just realised I actually need aluminium bottles and not plastic jerrycans after balancing my plastic perfectly to package everything (except it was the wrong kind of container).

[cursive phoenix]

guyys how do i get rid of the flowers that create gfas]

[prime jasper]

Explosives.

[zenith pecan]

Use anything that goes boom, nobelisks, snowballs, clusters, nukes, explosive rebar.

got to love solving one problem just to be hit with the other side the resouces falling short i had an water issue but not a coal now i have a coal issue not a water

[cunning siren]

Water extractors can not be nudged! ReeeeEEEEEE!

[latent meadow]

yea

i foudn that with a couple items

[unkempt blade]

literally unplayable!

[zenith pecan]

I don't like trying to place those, especially making a large scale installation that provides water.

[cunning siren]

REFUNDING! 😆

[unkempt blade]

I'll build foundations as guidelines for big water builds but I still wish they'd snap to the global grid or something

[small notch]

for my factory im building idk what to make the roof out of any suggestions

[peak wasp]

quest for you folks

[unkempt blade]

train stations

[zenith pecan]

I usually have walkways laid out, then I can try to perfectly position one and have the other line up off it, not amazing but close enough to not look like shite.

[peak wasp]

so when I am making story parts early game....is it a bad idea to not automate them

like just put in a few parts in a machine

not deal with hooking them up to go forever and ever

[unkempt blade]

yeah it's better than not using anything, more or less straight rows

[unkempt blade]

you'll keep needing them for future space ship parts so I'd automate them AND leave them running

[zenith pecan]

Once automated, overflows just mean more ficsit coupons.

[peak wasp]

interesting...well I am not well setup for these fic sit parts yet

I mean everything runs but its not good enough to have it automated

[wary perch]

Wouldn’t it be cool if you could put water in your coffee cup

[peak wasp]

but I did have tons of the needed materials I threw into a chest

and have the chest automatically feed it into the machines

[zenith pecan]

Nooo, I put coffee in there, I really don't need to be without a source of caffine.

[cunning siren]

Thanks for the refill reminder good sir or madam

[peak wasp]

so this is a big suggestion

what if we put rocket fuel in our coffee?

it makes everything else go

[regal lantern]

Wouldn't be surprised if the stuff from the machine wasn't Ionised fuel...

[unkempt blade]

the only acceptable drink is plutonium waste with a bacon mushroom for garnish

[hollow halo]

I’ve escaped doom scrolling

And now I have this unbelievable urge to redo my whole factory…

Again…

[peak wasp]

Isn't that for the lizard doggos

[limpid cairn]

WHO doesn’t have that

[cunning siren]

Since we can not use the chainsaw on creatures maybe they'll give us a gun that shoots chainsaws 🤔 Seems logical to me

[hollow halo]

So does that mean I should do it?

[limpid cairn]

Depends, how much do you hate yourself ?

[hollow halo]

I’m already sick and did it 3 times 🫠

[limpid cairn]

Then, don’t do it again

[hollow halo]

HHH

Pain

[zenith pecan]

I'm so not rebuilding this #satisfactory-experimental message

[hollow halo]

Ig it’s a good thing to say that cause I need to fix my coal power (which I idk why it’s broken)

[limpid cairn]

Fly over there and check what’s missing 😛

[hollow halo]

I’m gonna eat that (it’s super cool)

[hollow halo]

Imagine being able to fly 😔

[limpid cairn]

My head hurts now

[zenith pecan]

That place generates 1.1tw

[limpid cairn]

@zenith pecan what’s the difference between sf experimental and normal sf?

[bright echo]

this game would be running constantly on my second monitor even if I was learning if there was weather in the game to make it more serene and like a relaxing background. 😞

[limpid cairn]

How do we tell you…

[zenith pecan]

Nothing at all now, that clip was taken during the last Ex build before the current 1.1 features rolled out.

[limpid cairn]

Basically it’s a beta version ?

[bright echo]

I was sstarting the game a few days prior when the engine update came that broke weather. I just had a few encounters with it but is was mesmerizing.

[zenith pecan]

That's why its experimental, we won't see many, if any experimental builds and new features since the game is post release and pretty feature complete 🙂 , during early access I was always on experimental, testing the ever living daylights out of upcoming stuff.

[peak wasp]

Think we'll get map expansions

[leaden dome]

i suppose its possible. logistics is already a big part of the challenge in satisfactory so maybe we get new regions with different resources that you can only get there, but in exchange you cant get regular resources there so you have to build big trains n stuff

[reef basin]

I don't think they'll be touching map much

[hard ivy]

unless 2.0 happens

[limpid cairn]

I don’t think that’ll ever happen

Unless someone makes a good map dlc mod

Which I highly doubt will happen

[cunning glade]

How hard would this be

[limpid cairn]

I have no clue but I assume it’s probably just time consuming?

[cunning glade]

I feel like ue5 isn't that bad too work with for it but idk

[limpid cairn]

since you have to add hard drives slugs mercer spheres sloops etc etc

also I have no clue if we have access to the sf models

[cunning glade]

This part is easy besides hard drives

There's a mod that lets u spawn in all that stuff for decoration

I'm gonna use it too put purple slugs all around my base

Idk about hard drives

But I mean I'm sure we have access or could find them in the files

[cunning siren]

The build mode colors seem to be not 100% like: Yellow seems to mean: "Maybe bruh IDK give it a shot, NAW I'm just foolin' ya" 😆 Red is only on 2nd click

[limpid cairn]

Devs dislike giving access to code or models for games so I highly doubt we have access without doing some data mining

[solemn crystal]

basically its a conditional, for example if u have a pipe thats too long, it will stay yellow unti the second click, because if you raise the pipe or rotate it, it might reach.
this is why you always read te text instead of the colors when doing belts

[cunning glade]

This is what I mean

It isn't hard too comb thru files

[limpid cairn]

I’m not sure if that works but you could possibly reference the models maybe

[cursive phoenix]

Guys how does making steel work, what do i put into the machine

[solemn crystal]

depends on which part of steel, if its steel beams you use a foundry and follow the recipe,if its steel pipes/beams they're made in a constructor, press N then search for what item you need,itll give u detail

[cunning glade]

https://docs.ficsit.app/satisfactory-modding/latest/Development/Satisfactory/CustomLevels.html

[cursive phoenix]

found it

[cunning glade]

It looks like it's very doable and easy

[shy mulch]

Consider how many years it took a dedicated team of devs to make the existing map we have today. If another map was made it would need just as much development again to be good, if it was rushed it would just end up rubbish and there's no point in that

[cursive phoenix]

si there any way to make enemies despawn

[cunning glade]

I mean one person could do it

It would take a min but do able

I haven't used ue5 too make anything but from what I've seen it's pretty easy on ue5

[shy mulch]

There is tens of thousands of hours of work involved, yes one person could in theory do it, but they won't

[cunning glade]

Also the map for the game was done for a while it's just bugs and the story that took them a min

[zenith pecan]

I changed my build mode colours, eyesight issues being one issue, harsh but bright blue, no clipping, really bright red for ❌ no chance, and purple for yeah it'll go but don't expect nothing to clip.

[shy mulch]

You can see exactly what power the train is using in real time by riding on the train

The usage of a train goes up and down depending on many things

Just do as I suggested and you will understand

Trains don't produce power

[hard ivy]

regen braking generates some power

[shy mulch]

When has that been a thing?

[hard ivy]

up to 33 MW iirc?

[solar hamlet]

In the year I didnt play I forgot... all the basic ratios... guess I have to math it out yet again 😄

[cunning siren]

It would be nice if the colors followed absolutes; like always meant what the color indicates AND if there are various states then... use more colors 🤷

[shy mulch]

You don't have any geothermal?

[zenith pecan]

I had trouble with the original yellow in the desert where I mainly build, I found it difficult to look at, my brain just saw the sand and the yellow colour kind of mush together and I got a headache, I just made the extremes brighter as well.

[shy mulch]

My power fluctuates by like 20GW up and down :/

[limpid cairn]

We told you why geothermal power isn’t good

[cunning glade]

Does anyone here get bad pop in

[shy mulch]

smaller fluctuations caused by trains wouldn't even be noticed, so I guess it doesn't matter

[limpid cairn]

Especially when your grid runs on it

[cunning glade]

Cuz I don't and I don't think it's bad but my friend was saying it's horrible

[shy mulch]

I have everything in 1 grid, so it doesn't really matter, I don't NEED geothermal, I just add it into the grid wherever I can because why not

[limpid cairn]

(Im Talking about the 200h phase 0 save)

[shy mulch]

Oh that one, hah, yeah I have plenty power there too

[zenith pecan]

I considered running my transport tubes exclusively off the geothermals, until I changed my mind and decided on setting up the teleports instead.

[brave thorn]

Are there some unwritten rules in satisfactory?

[shy mulch]

I have an alien augmenter giving me 500MW which on it's own is more than enough, but I added in a bunch of geothermal too cos why not, and have about 40 biomass burners as a backup

[shy mulch]

Don't put your finger inside a lizard doggo

[hard ivy]

funnily enough, 20 GW is about the max fluctuation you can realistically get from geothermal. assuming it's 4x boosted

[solar hamlet]

Cant decide... if I should add the quicker manual crafting to reach factorization quicker... or if I will just end up manually crafting for longer because it will be more convenient 😄

[brave thorn]

Understandable

[shy mulch]

I have 120% alien boost too

[brave thorn]

Should I automate smokeless powder? Or is a double container enough for me?

It's kinda annoying without drones

[shy mulch]

depends how trigger happy you are I suppose

[hard ivy]

just find a spot with everything needed for the ammo

[zenith pecan]

You need very few resources for a comprehensive ammunition factory, only a handful of munitions per minute per item will eventually yield a warehouse full that can supply a revolution simply because you won't really have that much combat time.

[shy mulch]

If I was gonna handcraft anything it would probably be ammo tbh, but I choose to automate anyway because meh

[zenith pecan]

Ammo is well worth automating just to make it auto-dump into a depot, you just don't need to build a biome swallowing monster unless you intend to start a war.

[shy mulch]

I handfed a slooped manufacturer to make 10k nuke nobelisks then destroyed it. If I ever use 10% of them I'll maybe consider automating it lol

[zenith pecan]

I was disappointed in nuke nobelisks, they don't really have that much of a bang, as shown here #screenshots message , I set a couple off to clear part of the swamp for construction.

[shy mulch]

they have new graphics now

[smoky forge]

very funy then because my nobelisks have a radius of like 230m

(mods ofc)

[zenith pecan]

Oh?

[solemn crystal]

guys does anyone else just get the urge to stick a thousand nuclear nobelisk to a single creature and then click the funny boom RMB?

[mortal tide]

is it possible to restore the plants(bushes, trees, etc) and the slugs as they were in a new world? I would like to have them back as decoration

Found it:
SatsfactoryCalculator Interactive map.
Selection tool left in the map -> restore vegetation (poison rocks don't come back)
top right "options" -> "collectables" -> "reset" on whatever you want to reappear

[solemn crystal]

because i do, i made a fully automated factory to make nuke nobelisk and send it through DD

[leaden dome]

my computer wouldnt survive that

[solemn crystal]

what woudnt it survive

[zenith pecan]

If it was possible to set off containers full of stuff that goes boom by blowing up the container, or even fluid buffers full of rocket fuel for gigantic bleve's, I'd be blasting things way more often just for the fireworks.

[smoky forge]

vegetation i think yes, slugs or other artifacts no

[smoky forge]

i do to my friend

[mortal tide]

and how? xD

[leaden dome]

detonating a thousand nuke nobelisks

[smoky forge]

very often, with cluster nobelisks, that have like 30 projectiles on their own(mods)

[solemn crystal]

one time my brother kept wasting my ionized fuels so i trickshotted him mid air with a gas nobelisk followed by a nuke

[solemn crystal]

just get better pc

[brave thorn]

I just smack everything with the zapper because it's fun(usually doesn't end well)

Gotta inhale the copium thinggy all the time

[solemn crystal]

dang

[zenith pecan]

That's one reason I go blast ahoy!, I also won't tolerate knockbacks, if I wanted to move, I'd do it myself.

[solemn crystal]

i just carry around explosive rebar, homing rifle ammo, turbo rifle ammo, and a bunch of nukes in my pockets at all times

im basically demoman if he likes making factories

[brave thorn]

Bro is ready for war

[solemn crystal]

i am the war

[smoky forge]

i only do rifle ammo and cluster and nobelisks

[solemn crystal]

i am the storm that is approaching

[smoky forge]

[solemn crystal]

i mean any sane person carries those around right

[smoky forge]

ig

[solemn crystal]

i, however, went insane a long time ago, and i nuke every living being that isnt a lizard doggo or a space tick whale penguing thing

[smoky forge]

a bean

and i basicaly only kill those

[zenith pecan]

Cluster is quite destructive, though A long time ago I had one creature unaffected by them because it clipped into a bloody rock: #satisfactory-experimental message 🤦‍♂️

[solemn crystal]

one time i attached a bunch of pulse nobelisk to my friend and made him die of world height

[smoky forge]

the other mobs i only kill bc they would kill me and or are annoying and ore give me loot

[solemn crystal]

wait i have an idea
what if you attach a nobelisk to a rebar mid air

or no collisoin dosent work like that..

[smoky forge]

nope

[solemn crystal]

has anyone else tried to MLG with a pulse nobelisk?

because i have, it was epic

[smoky forge]

rebar is piercing projectile untill hitbox

nobelisk is a projectile untill impact

[solemn crystal]

cool

[smoky forge]

could try that

[solemn crystal]

wait surely everyone carries around a factory cart to MLG off a cliff right

[smoky forge]

nope

[solemn crystal]

oh

[smoky forge]

me only jetpack

[solemn crystal]

yall actually lame smh

[hard ivy]

jetpack?

[smoky forge]

other inventory slots are for artifacts and crash site stuff only

[solemn crystal]

factory cart

[smoky forge]

i did explorer once

bc of mobs and they get passive when u init

[solemn crystal]

pfft imagine using vehicles to move around

[smoky forge]

not to love around

[solemn crystal]

those slow me down

[smoky forge]

to place next to hatcher, then camp untill the hatchlings die off bc they touch vhiecle

then jump out and bash em 2 times

[solemn crystal]

nah, i just fly up, charge a nuke, throw it at em, dart away, and blow them up

[smoky forge]

move around only before jetpack

[leaden dome]

damn can’t believe I didn’t think of that

[smoky forge]

if i have jetpack i only use nobelisks

[solemn crystal]

just use the particle accelerator slide

[smoky forge]

slide?

u mean hypertube cannon?

[fierce flicker]

why is coal so rare

[smoky forge]

its not

just not so often to find in starter areas

[reef basin]

That's the game telling you to expand

[smoky forge]

everythings pre-calculated by the devs!

they are in our head!

[barren dove]

Just find jetpack jonny and move around with bio fuels

[limpid cairn]

I have 4 in my depot

[versed mesa]

Hello all good evening

Am back playing the game and I've learnt from yesterday and got an understanding how serton things work and running so proud of my achievement this morning

Just set up my first manufacturer to produce 2nd version of modular frames

How's everyone's day been ?

Ive needed to make rods and then now crews again by hand while the manufacturer is eating my nails for now lol

[unkempt blade]

screw recipes are the best recipes

[fierce flicker]

i just turned of the game after 3 days

[versed mesa]

My oil factory seams to be running nicely with with turning on 2 more fuel gens and extended extended my storage department so I can craft more if the fuel and keep more circulating through the pipes to the gens and to try fill up the fuel storages as well

[versed mesa]

What do you mean after 3 days lol

[versed mesa]

Why ? I could a green with you lol

[glad drum]

Man, I'm around the same point as you right now and I'm just like... OK, I made more stators, but now I'm probably gonna need more circuit boards... and more cable... and more of most things. Dang let's go

[fierce flicker]

after 3 days

[unkempt blade]

Because it uses so many screws! It makes me happy to see them go brrrrrrr into the machines

[versed mesa]

Really I thought you have played for year lmfao

[versed mesa]

You been awake for 72 hours ?

[versed mesa]

True lol

[glad drum]

I beat the game but somewhat recently came back to start a new spaghetti build

[versed mesa]

Awesome no harm to retry over and increase your build skills

[fierce flicker]

i slept

idk when but i did

[unkempt blade]

You should use screw recipes too. It will look good on all the spaghetti

[versed mesa]

@fierce flicker ok so maybe your saying your new to the gMe and have been playing the game 3 days in a row since getting the game

[glad drum]

Dude, you're so right - they do look really good on the conveyors... but I specifically unlocked those alternates to conserve power lmao --- I'll do one with screws just for you though

AND ill put it on a sushi belt

[versed mesa]

Lmfao

[fierce flicker]

idk what does that mean

[versed mesa]

I could say the same to you about 3 days am clearly fixing your saying lmfao

[unkempt blade]

it means you need to go eat some food and empty your feces bucket and then get back to factorying

[versed mesa]

Lmfao

[glad drum]

Conveyor food into your mouth*

[versed mesa]

@unkempt blade tell me what he said was not fully clear 3 days so it could of ment he not been to sleep for 3 days or he's had the game for 3 days and is new player like me lmfao

[unkempt blade]

I think he's been playing most of the last 3 days except for the time it took to briefly sleep and use the bucket

[versed mesa]

Some typos

[versed mesa]

So he's just gotten the game basically

[unkempt blade]

depends how fast he's going, could very well be in phase 3 at least

[versed mesa]

Lol

[fierce flicker]

just placed the house?

wdm phase 3?

[versed mesa]

Damn lmfao

[unkempt blade]

did you use the space elevator yet?

[fierce flicker]

i just placed the house

[unkempt blade]

hub?

[solemn relic]

how do i get rid of the big cracked rocks ontop of coal depots?

[barren dove]

Nobelisks

[unkempt blade]

you use nobelisks that you research in the MAM

[versed mesa]

Blow them up

[hard ivy]

💥

[versed mesa]

Lol

[solemn crystal]

theres a glitch where if u slide jump long enough you just infinitley gain speed

[unkempt blade]

yeah but what if you go infinity speed and then go into a hypertube cannon entrance?

think of how far you could fly!

[cunning siren]

Why is vertical nudge not also mouse wheel up and down? #MassiveOversight

[solemn crystal]

tried that, died a horrible death because i discovered that massage AB is flat

and i dont loop around like a normal planet

[unkempt blade]

Because Firefly got cancelled after only a single season and we're still dealing with the fallout from that terrible decision decades later

[hard ivy]

wdym? pg up/dn makes perfect sense

[peak wasp]

If your keyboard has those two keys

[solemn crystal]

up and down makes more sense since if a keyboard dosent have arrow keys thats an ipad with extra steps

[hard ivy]

I don't subsribe do anything other than 110% KBs

[cunning siren]

There are other areas of the game that "double bind" like this so... 🤷 also... having ability to double bind... 😆

[solemn crystal]

thats your opinion, otehrs dont have the luxury or prefer smaller keyboards

i still believe up and down arrows is the most logical

[cunning siren]

I'm leveling up my macro creating skills working around this games sillyness 😆

[hard ivy]

I'm sorry but keyboards that don't have pg up/dn cost more than the ones that do

going 60% is a deliberate choice

[unkempt blade]

they should just make nudge controller-only so you have to pick up and entirely new device

unless you're primarily controller, then the reverse happens

[shrewd palm]

and if you use the main input device a factory cart with a random item inside is generated

[peak wasp]

It was in my case, but I get along fine without the extra keys for gaming. My work keyboard has all the keys.

[shy fog]

250/500 done... so slow waiting on machines...

[hard ivy]

OC? Sloops?

[solemn crystal]

Like I said, opinions.

[rigid mist]

guys i have twice as much acid as my refineries need but they just won't take more than 60/330 of it

[hard ivy]

tf does "60/330" even mean?

[leaden turret]

remove any valves you've added for giggles and see if that fixes it

[rigid mist]

how the fuck....

honestly at this point i shouldn't even question it

[hard ivy]

buffers too unless it's a closed loop

[leaden turret]

more valves = more points of failure for sloshing/water hammer

[rigid mist]

i just have buffers for storage

#screenshots message nope it's still doing the same thing
the pipe supplying the line of refineries in the back can supply all of them, but it only transports 45 when the refineries are absolutely parched for 330/m

[unkempt blade]

is it the ones furthest from the input side of the row that are starved?

[hard ivy]

leached copper? ew lmao

[leaden turret]

would suggest you flip which are on top of the main belt and pipe line.

belts aren't impacted by gravity, liquids are

[rigid mist]

bruhhhhhh it might have been head lift

[reef basin]

Storing fluids is kinda pointless

[leaden turret]

if main pipeline is on top, first machine's pipe will fill up first, then the second, and so on

[unkempt blade]

I agree, no screws makes it non-optimal as far as recipes go

[rigid mist]

no it wasn't head lift it still only wants to transport a tiny amount of what it can

[rigid mist]

i need 4000 ingots a minute

[unkempt blade]

that's a lot of screws

[rigid mist]

of copper

[next sequoia]

Got my train up to 230kmph 😳

[real shale]

😳

[next sequoia]

Time to double my power output #screenshots message

[rigid mist]

i've gotten 310

[next sequoia]

Next goal is the speed of light lol

[rigid mist]

might've been a lack of sulfur tbh that's why i had the storage

[real shale]

bullet trains when

[unkempt blade]

I heard those are after we get mk2 factory carts

[rigid mist]

oh lmao that was a 300 line i needed 900

[hard ivy]

Storage doesn't help with shortages?

[rigid mist]

yeah but the thought is what counts

[real shale]

mk2 implies there was something wrong with mk1, the factory cart is perfect as it is, FICSIT would never make something that was already 100% efficient :p

[rigid mist]

trust

[unkempt blade]

it's faster because there's a jetpack taped to it

[real shale]

flying carts......

[rigid mist]

and a water shortage why is everything a shortage

[unkempt blade]

because math 🙁

[rigid mist]

why did i build my factory that needs 1200 water/min in a goddamn desert

[shy fog]

assembly director systems, finally finishing stage 4

[unkempt blade]

architectural hubris and an irresistible desire to spit in God's eye?

[rigid mist]

lmao

[limpid cairn]

no factory carts?

[unkempt blade]

factory carts are the answer to problems not the cause of them

[limpid cairn]

Oh

[rigid mist]

i have roads specifically for my personal factory cart

[limpid cairn]

I thought she asked how she would do that

[rigid mist]

well no shit that pipe was undersupplied it had 120 water/min out of 300

[limpid cairn]

why not 600m^3

[rigid mist]

i only need 300 for that one it's split in two adding up to 600

[limpid cairn]

Interesting

[unkempt blade]

classic Satisimpsonry

[leaden turret]

as hard as you wanna make it

[next sequoia]

On having funability or beat the gameability

[unkempt blade]

how difficult do you want it to be?

[prime rampart]

Having fun

[next sequoia]

10/10

[prime rampart]

😭

[next sequoia]

Would reccomend

[unkempt blade]

it's not very difficult unless you make it difficult but it is sort of time consuming

[next sequoia]

Yery time consuming lol

Speaking of I need to check my hours

[prime rampart]

I could tell that its time consuming

[unkempt blade]

beating all the objectives is sort of time consuming, playing the game beyond that point can become very time consuming depending on what goals you set for yourself

[limpid cairn]

Making a factory cart road across the map

[unkempt blade]

yeah incredibly awesome vanity projects like this add time 😄

[next sequoia]

I saw my hours earlier but idr where- where do I find it lol

[unkempt blade]

when you load a save it'll show you there

[hard ivy]

Strangely, I think this game gets both easier and harder the more you play

[next sequoia]

240h and I'm working on phase 4 of space station
First world

[unkempt blade]

Yeah that about what my first world was in EA. The most recent one in 1.0 was like 110 total with some vanity projects

[half narwhal]

there will be cross play with console players ?

[cursive phoenix]

Ive gotten this game for 3 days and i have 35hrs play time. 10/10

[leaden turret]

nope

well, between consoles yes, between consoles and pc no

[jolly flax]

The factory is I and I am the factory
The factory needs me and I need the factory
The factory must grow so I will also grow
I do not need anything other than the factory and so the factory only needs me

The factory must grow

[safe bison]

Factory factory. Factory? Factory factory factory!!! factory, factory.

[limpid cairn]

The question now is, why only 36h and not 72?

[echo hemlock]

idk if im tweaking like crazy now, it feels like my MK2 belt is the same speed as MK1 right now

[rigid mist]

how did i forget to hook up 4 entire water extractors that's 480/min no wonder it was undersupplied

[echo hemlock]

ive made a steel beam/pipe factory with perfect ratios, yet somehow the coal miner is full and the foundry is almost emptY?

[undone kestrel]

Check your belt(s)

[jolly flax]

WE'RE RICH

[echo hemlock]

two miners (60 coal/min each) merging into an MK2 belt -> mk2 lift, which is manifolded into 3 splitters -> mk1 lift each into the foundry

[jolly flax]

They should a gold vein somewhere that server zero purpose other than being able to hear We're rich each time we get near it

[echo hemlock]

so there should be 40 coal/min for each 3 foundries but its not? am i losing it

[jolly flax]

Although its a nice addition that there are drg ost in the game

[undone kestrel]

Is the mk 2 belt actually a mk 2 belt

[echo hemlock]

yeah i checked all of them

[undone kestrel]

Could you have a little 1m section of mk1?

If the miner is full the only way that is possible is a belting issue if you are feeding them into 3 solid steel ingot foundry's

Also why are you manifolding 3 machines, you can just use one splitter 😛

[echo hemlock]

the iron is using 1 splitter lol, im using a cool looking setup but it needs manifolds

https://www.reddit.com/r/SatisfactoryGame/comments/rstu8j/i_just_made_a_compact_tileable_assembler_setup/ similar to this one

[rigid mist]

who tf decided to put fluid mechanics in this game they make no sense when you need them to work

[undone kestrel]

What doesn't make sense?

[rigid mist]

when it doesn't behave like a fluid

[undone kestrel]

In what way

[rigid mist]

when it decides to do nothing when every ounce of rationality says it should do something

[undone kestrel]

Give an example, you're just saying things that make no sense lmao

[echo hemlock]

are MK2 lifts bugged? i have one MK2 belt from the miners and one from a storage box, just to see the difference. The one from the storage container is clearly faster, despite both being MK2 belts?

[undone kestrel]

Fluids aren't very intuitive but they definitely behave fine and consistently

[rigid mist]

i have a 600 pipe going in, a bunch of refineries that use 600/m, but they only take 480/m because why not

[undone kestrel]

Then you've built your pipes wrong

[rigid mist]

no

[tall lantern]

pipes at full flow are finicky

[undone kestrel]

Ok 🙂

They aren't if you don't try and do weird stuff with them or use them in ways not intended

[tall lantern]

eh, it's easy to build 'em in a way that doesn't work

it's not like adding a loop is intuitive

[undone kestrel]

I refer to this

You don't need loops to make max flow rates work, it can just help you minimise sloshing effects

[echo hemlock]

can someone look at my vid #streams-and-videos and tell me if im going crazy or not

[undone kestrel]

That is weird 😂

Have you tried rebuilding it?

[echo hemlock]

no lol

[rigid mist]

i don't get how this makes any sense game
i have 16 refineries taking 30 oil/m each, that's 480/m
a pipe currently transporting 600/m goes in, and still 5 refineries are yellow

[undone kestrel]

Are all the pipes full yet?

And are they at a lower elevation than the refinery inputs?

[echo hemlock]

hooooly fuck i found out

thats so disgusting

[rigid mist]

i'm quitting this game

i have better things to do than to reenact sisyphus

[edgy anvil]

does anyone recommed a good iron ingot recipe? i dont know what would be better to run

[undone kestrel]

If you put literally an hour into learning how pipes work then you won't be having issues with them

[rigid mist]

i have put 350 into it

[echo hemlock]

1cm of fucking MK1 belt in the first splitter that i missed, hooly shit

[tall lantern]

default, pure or alloy are all good depending on what you want to prioritise. Leached if you want

[undone kestrel]

Then whoever/whatever you are learning from is flawed

[tall lantern]

protip, don't place splitters/mergers straight onto belts, put them down first and attach the belts to them. Helps avoid that

[undone kestrel]

Depends what you prioritise. If you have refineries you can mix iron ore and water to make the most amount of ingots for the ore you input but that comes at the expense of building refineries

[tall lantern]

most recipes come down to either "what do I have nearby"/"where do I want to build this"

[undone kestrel]

Actually leached provides slightly more but who is using sulfur for iron production

[edgy anvil]

well im tryin to make a mega base in the dessert to im just been trying to fiqure what be best, im trying to get through phase 9 but ive never gotten this far before

[tall lantern]

pure iron will make you hate yourself with the refinery spam, though it is very efficient on raw ore (at the cost of needing to add water and more power)

[undone kestrel]

There is no best, it's just whatever you feel is worth it

[echo hemlock]

i usually dont do that, but for this type of layout i kinda have to put the belt down first https://www.reddit.com/r/SatisfactoryGame/comments/rstu8j/i_just_made_a_compact_tileable_assembler_setup/

[undone kestrel]

Desert has a lot of limestone but not so much water so you could use basic iron ingot

[wise junco]

looks at coast

[undone kestrel]

Ponds only ❤️

[edgy anvil]

ya and im useing power shards in each miner so its alot to go through

[wise junco]

#teampond

[tired axle]

Do I power the water extractor with the coal generator or with a seperate power source?

[echo hemlock]

yeah

[wise junco]

is this your first time doing coal?

[edgy anvil]

its just need a jump start

[wise junco]

^

[echo hemlock]

you can "jump-start" with bio gen

[wise junco]

once it's up and running, you can nix the bio gen

[leaden turret]

All the people
So many people
And they all go hand in hand
Hand in hand through their parklife pondlife

[edgy anvil]

why does the pure iron ingot have to be such a werid number

[undone kestrel]

Probably to try and get people to use the other recipes

[wise junco]

you guys use recipes?

[edgy anvil]

rn i have 16 600 iron belts that im trying to balance nicley

[wise junco]

just use one 9,600 belt

follow me for more life advice

[edgy anvil]

trust me i wish

and the idiot i am forgot about the ally ingot

[plain gate]

find lcm of output and 1200

or shave some off the top to make the output a nice number, its 167.5 right?

[edgy anvil]

wait what?

[robust brook]

Fr

[next sequoia]

188 fuel powered generators for 47k mw
#screenshots message

[plain gate]

output is 162.5, so you can put 13 in a row, slice off 2.5 each of them, and use two manifolds out of 7.5 machines each

easy 1200 belts

[shy fog]

317/500... so very slowly getting thru it

Lol

[quick barn]

You know what would be nice?

When the console release drops, I'd love to see the game also land in the Windows Store and support Play Anywhere, or at least support cloud save sync.

I play vanilla, and would totally move to that release if my saves would roam between Xbox and PC.

Have they talked about that at all?

[outer scarab]

has anyone ever seen anyone make cyberpunk or steampunk buildings in here? I am looking for reference designs

I'm thinking just a ton of pipes and neon lighting maybe

[plush dawn]

gettings on the microsoft store isnt as easy as it sounds

[versed mesa]

What folder is game screenshots in please ?

[rigid mist]

i haven't actually built a factory in 2 days i've just been bugfixing

[versed mesa]

I want to share screen shots but come from my console to my phone and send share here

[versed mesa]

Bug fixing what ?

[rigid mist]

my factory

[versed mesa]

I get it

Make sure its running smoothly

[rigid mist]

priority fluid splitter when

[versed mesa]

@rigid mist what gens you using ?

[rigid mist]

hm?

[versed mesa]

Generators

[rigid mist]

nuclear in my actual world im doing AGS rn

[versed mesa]

And what's ags ?

[rigid mist]

advance game settings
basically creative mode just customizable

[versed mesa]

What heck but it dont answer what Gens you are using to power your factory

[rigid mist]

nuclear i already said that

[versed mesa]

Wow theres nuclear gen damn lol

[shrewd palm]

as far as it goes tho

[versed mesa]

@rigid mist is that what the rocket fuel is for ?

[shrewd palm]

i am fiending for fusion power but i dont think we'll ever see it in game

[shrewd palm]

nothing related to fuel is used in nucealr

[rigid mist]

no, uranium

[shrewd palm]

or

its not used as fuel*

[rigid mist]

i still want turbolifts

copper plant is 95% efficacy

after like 5 hours of work

[versed mesa]

@rigid mist ah yeah silly be its auto gen that creates its own electricity so dont really need anything in it

[versed mesa]

Ggs

[rigid mist]

hm?

[versed mesa]

@rigid mist have you got experience with fuel gens ?

[rigid mist]

yes

[outer scarab]

its called a valve

[real shale]

actually, theres an alternative solution thats in the fluids guide

[rigid mist]

not entirely what i mean

THERE'S A FLUIDS GUIDE WHAT

[versed mesa]

Can we have a wee chat about the fuel going in them and powering your factory pls

[real shale]

yeah

[rigid mist]

not right now

[real shale]

it gives complex circuit for getting fluids to behave properly

[versed mesa]

@rigid mist actually i mean fluid gens

[real shale]

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/satisfactory_gamepedia_en/images/3/39/Pipeline_Manual.pdf

Lesson 11 is where to look

[versed mesa]

That chat will only take 2 weeks lmfao

[real shale]

it gives Variable Priority Junctions

[rigid mist]

i will check that later my firefox is doing that thing where it registers input 30-90 secs after you input

[real shale]

i actually found it quite interesting because it goes into a lot of nifty tricks like dealing with headlift, splitting fluids in order of priority or flow rate filters

[rigid mist]

Aaaaand my throughput is in the shit again i thought i fixed this
i spent a literal 3 hours trying to get this to work
it's a pipe going directly into a manifold with more input than the manifold takes how does this not work

[real shale]

I canonically like to believe this manual is a subsection of the "fluid dynamics for pioneers" book seen in the hub

[versed mesa]

So what can actually be created in the module designer?

[real shale]

have you tried turning off the machines and letting the fluid build up in the pipes first?

The flow rate is actually affected by how full the pipes are

[rigid mist]

i think it would have resolved itself by this point

i built the factory about 6 hours ago

[versed mesa]

@rigid mist I can help you because I was away for 24 hours sorting my oil factory out and did not sleep till like around 6am this morning and I got the fluid gens to work

[rigid mist]

can you hold off on that thought

[real shale]

fluids are so funky that chances are it wouldnt have resolved itself

ive had similar encounters when dealing with fuel for fuel generators

[versed mesa]

I was amwanting to talk about fluid but it seams you dont have that experience lol

[rigid mist]

is it really my train throughput ahain

[rigid mist]

i needn't assistance of that type

[versed mesa]

@rigid mist I can help you hot pipes up hill ?

[rigid mist]

2 trains 2 wagons every 3 minutes you think would be enough throughput for 1800/m

1350 per minute damn

[shrewd palm]

time for more trains

[real shale]

or just more wagons

2 trains 3 wagons would do it :P

[rigid mist]

hmmmm

i could do that

[versed mesa]

I was going to try build train and tracks but it seams some resources I dont have around me like plastic witch is at my oil factory

[real shale]

oh, my face dropped when i seen how far the nearest oil nodes were from my main factory lmao

[versed mesa]

So l9oks like ill have to build from my oil factory

At the moment the assembler is producing an item for phase 3

Should have it done later hopefully

[real shale]

meanwhile me who got to phase 4 and has spent the past 2 weeks doing every else except progress it

[versed mesa]

What do you unlock in 6 and 7 fir tiers ?

[real shale]

ive hit the point in my playthrough where im like "tear it all down, rebuild it all, its all shit"

[versed mesa]

Do it in stages

[real shale]

i have been doing that, currently upgrading my train lines atm

past me was like "yeah 1 line going in a loop will do it" what was past me thinking LOL

[versed mesa]

Awesome I could get to that point as you each location i base at i improve a long the way and my builds will we much cleaner

[real shale]

I actually ended up sidetracking and decided "yeah see that empty body of water, lets put an oil rig on it and pollute it with a potential 60,000MW of fuel generators"

[rigid mist]

im going to take a break from optimization time to go make balancers

You can test it by putting a buffer next to it and see if it fills up

If you're using 13th or 14th gen CPU, you probably need to update your bios.

[rustic pier]

bout to wipe my computer.. good thing i checked for my saves 😆 and blueprints..

C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\FactoryGame\Saved

[frail sleet]

Updating bios slows further damage. If it's already giving that error it probably needs to be replaced

[rustic pier]

Wipe is fine though. i am smart.. all my games are on different drives on my pc :-p so i dont have to reinstall.. just direct steam to their respective folders

[outer scarab]

I haven't needed to do a PC wipe in years. I just get a new hard drive and set the old ones as storage

[rigid mist]

yk the balancer getting complicated when you need to open desmos

[rustic pier]

xD modern problems..

well i dont feel like dropping money on a new nvme at the moment

[cunning siren]

I try and write to a hard drive to save my solid states

[rustic pier]

i have 3 other ssds in my computer in addition to the nvme

2 500 and a 1tb and then my nvme is a 1tb

[rigid mist]

made a 1:3 balancer with only a 1:2 splitter and merger
like they do in factorio

[astral ivy]

I have about 24 TB docked to one computer atm

[mint wind]

Can i ask a Quick train question in here?
If i have a trainline that has more input in the sending factory than it needs in the outcoming one, will the goodies that cant be unloaded stay on the train and it only loads/unloads the ammount needed or will anything get lost in the process

[rigid mist]

yes

[rustic pier]

yeah thats how my train delivers got messed up because i had 1 traing going between three stations and it would flip the train around.. so anything that couldnt be unloaded ended up getting mixed in with the stuff that i wanted at a diff station xD

[dense violet]

it'll just stay. It won't get lost but it'll back up your producers

[mint wind]

Damn xD Sounds like you can easily fix that with an overflow into sink on the receiving Station tho
For me its just good to know cause i need like an super odd number of Rubber going somewhere else and i want the overflow to stay in the factory that makes it so i can do something else with it
If the train Acts like a Manifold instead of "deleting" anything thats perfect for me 🫶

[shrewd palm]

once they balance out trains are basically just supersize belts

[outer scarab]

Hey I havent done signs in a while, how do you remove the icon so you just have text

[mint wind]

Thats great, thanks to yall

[outer scarab]

nvm its in layout

[rustic pier]

ahhh rufus how i love you sometimes.

[dense violet]

you could just produce that exact number with a group of machiens and send it to the train?

[mint wind]

I could but i already set up everything and its only a temporary solution right now, so ill take the train as a manifold belt instead to make my life easier for now until i know what exactly i actually want
The Rubber plant was done with mk4 so why Touch it as long as it works 🤣

[fierce temple]

Guys are there are new weapons that are planned for satis

[dense violet]

none announced

[rigid mist]

#screenshots message @covert sphinx God fucking damnit now the end of the game is spoiled

[fierce temple]

Do devs plan to add a weapon that costs 400000 dollars to fire, for 12 seconds....

[covert sphinx]

omg i forgot to spoiler it im SO SORRY BRO

[rigid mist]

np mate just put it next time

at least now i know i was right

[zenith pecan]

I got my hands on the save, insufficient water production, by a lot.

[upper gale]

Well you are in the Satisfactory discord after all and the game has been out for years

You will get spoilers

[dense violet]

that is what #story-spoilers is for

honestly that's the first time I've seen that image myself

[rigid mist]

if there's a story-spoilers channel i think some people haven't spent hundreds of hours to get the accomplishment of beating the game

[upper gale]

You'll see a lot of stuff about later tier items

[covert sphinx]

im so sorry guys xd

[zenith pecan]

Especially discussions about late game problems snarling up factories.

[upper gale]

I'm just saying like, if you're in the discord expect spoilers one way or another

[rigid mist]

there's a difference between complicated production and the ending to a story cumulated over hundreds of hours of steady build up

[shrewd palm]

i dont think late game items/factories would be spoilers

or at least i dont consider them spoilers

but story stuff is

[rigid mist]

that's why there's a story-spoilers channel and not a production-spoilers channel because who the hell gets annoyed when they have to do less analysis paralysys

[frail sleet]

No, we have a spoilers channel for it. The game only launched a year ago and has an extremely long story mode (can be hundreds of hours, especially for big fans who dive deep into the game)

[shrewd palm]

^^

[upper gale]

The mods won't delete it though

[frail sleet]

They do

[rigid mist]

the OP did

[upper gale]

Spoiler channel helps but that's all it does, it helps. It won't guarantee you don't get spoiled

I don't expect everyone to follow it

It's the internet

[rigid mist]

doesn't mean it doesn't matter when they don't

[dense violet]

has up until now xD

granted there's very little story to spoil except for that one very specific thing

[shrewd palm]

outside of this i dont think ive ever seen people drop spoilers outside of the spoiler channel in this server

if theres one thing gamers seem to all respect its spoilers

[upper gale]

Pfft okay
Well maybe this community does better at that

[dense violet]

not sure there's much community credit here. there's barely any story to spoil.

most of it is random chatter from ADA to [redacted]. And then that image

devs cut the 'story' element of the game to essentially nothing

[rigid mist]

you forgot about the ||kittens and puppies||

[outer scarab]

I mean, did this really need a story?

[shrewd palm]

true

ada yapping at me while i go over all the new stuff i got is enough for a factory game i think

[dense violet]

a story would have been nice? it sounded like whatever they had going was going to be interesting

[shrewd palm]

if whats in the game now is the skeleton of what they had i'd be down for the full thing

[outer scarab]

the last xmas was great. If you disable or enable the winter game mode she has some great lines about how this was a mistake, and Oh good you disabled that horrible game mode

[shrewd palm]

a little less yapping from ada would be nice tho

[dense violet]

I'm not even sure you could call it the skeleton. Maybe the dust of what possibly was a skeleton xD

They axed the CEO character entirely so there was probably going to be a lot around her and the company

[outer scarab]

They should have gotten Cave Johnson the CEO

[shy fog]

400/500 down... so very very slow... 3 hours of today to go though

[outer scarab]

Alright main drive wipred 😄

[thin bridge]

ive hit 8 hours straight 2 days in a row. This game isnt good for me

Ive been weaned off of factorio after 1500 hours and now am being reintroduced to satisfactory

National Addiction Hotline phone number:

[brave thorn]

How do you extract oil from the rocky area? The normal oil extractor isn't snapping

[shy fog]

the pressure ones?

[brave thorn]

Probably

[boreal musk]

tier 8

[brave thorn]

Is it some late game thing?

Ohh ok

[shy fog]

resource well pressurizers are a thing

it's under tier 8 aluminum

[brave thorn]

It just says crude oil, and has rocks around it with the oil acting like a fountain, I assumed i was missing something since it's just oil

[shy fog]

well he tried the normal one, so yeah, it's the pressure ones

and here I am slowly grinding my way up to stage 4 completion

[brave thorn]

New playthrough?

[shy fog]

no 😛

microfactory

my buildings are practically non-existant... only one manufacturer

which is being used to make the adaptive control units atm

[brave thorn]

Is it a different kind of play style?

[shy fog]

picture if you will factorio with only one research lab

or possibly take your entire factory, and discard about 80% of it, that's all I built

[vivid jackal]

you know how we use the power zip line thingy?

well mehdi has something to say https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwIvUbOhcKE

[shy fog]

I'm going to say that video is terrible

[feral geyser]

Also, we have gloves and a handle between us and the electricity.

[versed mesa]

Is there another way to constantly keep bringing in fuel to keep fuel gens powered at all ?

[dense violet]

what do you mean?

all the regular ways to move fluids?

[versed mesa]

Like the machines have finished making pachaged fuel and fill up all my storage units

[dense violet]

sink the over flow? I'm not sure what the issue is here

are you wanting to keep your packaged fuel production going?

[versed mesa]

Now am wonder what's next since now the fuel has stopped coming in while the refinery was creating it along with polymer

[dense violet]

follow the issue backwards, see what is stopping the production line

[versed mesa]

Not really ive got so much in storage and now maybe i want to setup to produce rubber again

[dense violet]

It's still not clear what your actual problem is. If you clear that up I can help

[versed mesa]

Well theres no problem as sitch

[dense violet]

ok what are you trying to do?

[versed mesa]

Ive just got no more fuel going to the gens because its finished being created with the refinery

[dense violet]

What?

are you fuel generators starving?

[versed mesa]

Alls that was turned into pachaged fuel and at same time it was power a couple of fuel gens

[versed mesa]

Yeah they sitting dead lol

[dense violet]

"Well theres no problem as sitch (edited)" <-- so there is a problem

if your fuel generators are starving you're either not making enough fuel, or you have flow issues

[versed mesa]

@dense violet but what am saying is oil creates the fuel and polymer through the refiners so I extrat that out to send to the pachager and ran it to the generators also it was power great for lots of hours but now the fuel has been eaten up and all dead power so not am wondering what to do now for power it just a stand still at the moment

[teal geyser]

Oil nodes are infinite?

How did they "run out" ?

[dense violet]

it could be any number of thigns

as lego pointed out, oil nodes don't run out.

so again

1. either you're not making enough fuel
   or
2. you have a flow issue

[versed mesa]

Oil is good

[dense violet]

but you're not giving us ANY information here

you'll want to post in #1038092680493801533 with many overhead images of your set up and what you're doing with numbers

maybe use google translate if english isn't your first language?

I feel there's a language barrier here

[versed mesa]

@dense violet ok here question for you how do you make fuel ?

[boreal musk]

the only infinite is /min, nodes are finite

[dense violet]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Fuel

on the wiki

but you know how to make it it sounds like?

[versed mesa]

I can't believe you can't fully understand me am speaking English fine lol

[dense violet]

you're describing things very very poorly

[upper gale]

His setup isn't the same as how everyone else does it, I mean if you guys haven't caught on. He packages all his resources

[dense violet]

sure? but you have to unpackage it to feed the generators

even if there's a middle step, the problems are the same

1. not enough fuel being made
   or
2. flow issue

or 3) Both

[versed mesa]

Exactly it got pachaged and the fuel was also going to the gens but now everything is created no fuel to run off of now part from whats in storage witch is pachaged fuel

[upper gale]

Maybe you need to sink some items

[dense violet]

are the machines making fuel still making fuel?

[upper gale]

in the Awesome Sink

[versed mesa]

No thats what am saying

[upper gale]

It might be backed up I dunno

[dense violet]

then your first step is to check your machines

are they starving or clogged?

[versed mesa]

Because all storage units are totally filled up stop producing so did fuel lol

[upper gale]

Maybe the refineries stopped

Yeah that's it probably

[dense violet]

then it sounds like it's a flow issue.

go send your storage to yoru fuel gens

It sounds like you're making this really hard on yourself

[teal geyser]

I’m speaking English fine*

[upper gale]

He's having fun don't worry lol

[dense violet]

he's wasting people's time

[teal geyser]

Yea, this is clear rage baiting

[versed mesa]

Am not wasting no ones time am just talking lol

[upper gale]

He just plays differently is all. Different playstyles exist

[upper gale]

Fr. Don't mind him

[dense violet]

while you're completely ignoring them not actually giving any info as to what is going on

deliberately vague

[upper gale]

That's just how he talks brother

[teal geyser]

How stupid is that to package the fuel by default recipe and then unpack it? I doubt he is using alt recipes like Diluted yet

[dense violet]

if he can't be bothered actually giving any info after liek 10 minutes that's a serious issue

[upper gale]

There's no need to be rude

[teal geyser]

He says he has a problem. Refuses to give any context or info

[upper gale]

If you don't like it then you don't need to reply to him

[versed mesa]

Ive given alot of info

[dense violet]

no, he said there was no problem

[upper gale]

You don't have to help him like it's a job

[teal geyser]

We try to help people in here, trying to be nice

[dense violet]

oh I already blocked him. Happy to help people, but not when they are just actively wasting my time

[versed mesa]

There is not a problems

[upper gale]

And call them stupid too? Sure

Anyways

You're playing fine don't mind them

You'll find a solution eventually you usually keep trying

[versed mesa]

I dont care if you dont give me abit of help ill try work things out my self anyways since I did get the gens to work in the end

[versed mesa]

I do screw them man lol

Am not here to waste no one time and am greatfull with every bit of help given to me

[teal geyser]

Sorry for trying to help I guess 😔

[upper gale]

But yeah because your storage is full the refineries must've stopped

[versed mesa]

Thats what ive been saying so now am trying to work out my next steps lol

[upper gale]

You could always add more storage if you really wanted to 😹

Temporary fix

[teal geyser]

Smart splitter to sink the overflow fuel

[versed mesa]

Dude I think am goid for real like how big do I want the storage rooms to be lol

[upper gale]

Lmao

I bet there's someone out there doing that

[versed mesa]

That i could do

[upper gale]

Tons of storages

[teal geyser]

Then your fuel production wouldn’t stop

[versed mesa]

It will not so i can sink polymer and pachage fuel

[teal geyser]

In theory you could build 100 storage containers and your system will run for a very long time but then it will fill up eventually

[versed mesa]

Lmfao ive got way over 25 storage units that have something of each like plastic and heavy oil

To water

To polymer and pachaged fuel

Ect

[teal geyser]

You mean like a storage room?

[versed mesa]

Yeah ill share a pic of it all

@teal geyser ive shared the picture in screenshots

@teal geyser to the right is all storage units earlier I ended more to try to keep fuel build up but it ran out once production stopped

[upper gale]

What about the pipes and the buffer, is that full too?

[versed mesa]

But dont worry ive though about creating floor room up top of the units to even add more updates unit maybe its silly lol

[upper gale]

The pipes you can try draining the system

[versed mesa]

Nah it was not enought coming in the fill them up to the top lol

[upper gale]

The colored floor is nice

[upper gale]

Ah gotcha

[versed mesa]

Thanks i think so to

[teal geyser]

Oh ok, so you do have the problem of storage units filling up with polymer and packaged fuel and then when they fill up, the refineries back up with output products and can’t produce anymore fuel

[versed mesa]

I love red

[teal geyser]

Why are you storing so much fuel?

[versed mesa]

Correct

[teal geyser]

So you are fine with this then?

[versed mesa]

Well tbh I really needed plastic so I was wondering how to get plastic but also fir something to take fuel but niw ive so much of both idk what do do next but I do where to produce rubber

[versed mesa]

Yeah

How should I unpachage fuel to go into the pipes ?

[teal geyser]

In the refinery, with crude oil

[versed mesa]

Really or let me taje a look at minute

[teal geyser]

You could either build a 2nd packager to unpackage it all, or not package the fuel in the first place to burn in your fuel generators

[versed mesa]

Yeah that i could do

Is there a second option ?

To keep fuel going to it

[sterile needle]

Hey hows it goin

[versed mesa]

Fine thanks and your self ?

[sterile needle]

Good

[versed mesa]

@sterile needle are you playing ?

[sterile needle]

not at the moment no

[versed mesa]

Thats a shame

[sterile needle]

i have goten tired of being alone lol

[versed mesa]

@upper gale guess when I did i made a slite mistake before coming into here I ended up pumping water through the pipes only to think its not fuel so it will not work lol

[versed mesa]

Alone what in game

[sterile needle]

in game

[midnight ocean]

does anyone know where to find SAM ore?

[dense violet]

they are scattered about in awkward spots.

there's an online map if you don't care about 100% exploration spoilers

[versed mesa]

Yeah look for a big arch and its down the bottom over cliff lol

[midnight ocean]

ah thanks ill go have a look

[versed mesa]

Make sure to have parachute first

[midnight ocean]

ah is there no way down otherwise?

[upper gale]

Lol yeah
Honestly I want even more uses for water
I mean it's everywhere and I just feel like putting down water extractors whenever I see em

[teal geyser]

Or use ramps

[versed mesa]

Like we need water gens lol

[upper gale]

They would have to make it very inefficient

Since we got the damn ocean out there 😭

[midnight ocean]

ah im still quite early game i just wanted it for the research
