Guys I should feed DMR into a separate particle accelerator and craft DMC right?
liquids and gases are both fluids
fluid is a general term that includes liquids and gasses
no clue what the game calls it tbh
the gas can be a fluid if it wants too
beat me to it
i got it but im still correct about the "thats a gas"
so nitrogen is a watery gassy ore but not a solid, I understand now
@hard ivy Dark matter residue;dark matter crystals
unless you package it, then it's a solid but no longer an ore
depends on the temperature and pressure
cant be an ore since it isnt a metal or mineral
the definition of ore is "a naturally occuring SOLID material from which a METAL or valuable mineral can be extracted"
yeah, I know what those mean. I do not understand the question. DMCs are made from DMR in a PA, yes. all 3 recipes for them
so it's only an ore when we package it in aluminum tanks?
did you purposely bold metal and omit "or valuable mineral"
I still don't get why it can't be raw fwiw
yes
I don't either, even if it were incorrect using words incorrectly is fun
Hey guys is there a suggestion channel or can someone tell me how to easily move lizard doggos 👉👈
no
its never an ore, because the package is a product, not naturally occuring like ore, and the gas itself is also not an ore
it also cant be a mineral
I meant if I should craft it into the Dark Matter Crystallization alt recipe (basically only DMR into DMC) instead of the normal recipes
there's no easy way, but you can get them on top of a vehicle (train) by building a bridge over it and dismantling it
suggestions on https://questions.satisfactorygame.com
true
doggo sled when?!?!
It wasn't incorrect, fwiw, there's hundreds of exemples of it being used in professional and journalistic contexts
I really dislike being corrected when I'm right so I triple checked x)
depends how many crystals you need and how much DMR you have. there's also the Trap alt, which is just straight up better than default (other than the power cost)
yall actually not nerds thats crazy
can't you distinguish ore and raw ore for example by washing it
i think just a different type
Power cost is optional btw 😄
I don't think being a nerd is about correcting people x)
Everyone here plays satisfactory so by default they're at least mildly nerdy
I'm a professional pedant at my job so I swing the other direction outside of work to decompress (into a raw gaseous ore)
yea but the ore in the game was never raw, and raw quartz isnt an ore because its not a metal
It is raw though
It's not cooked, seasoned, and served with a nice kimchi sauce
(unfortunately)
isnt your job keeping factory cart dominance in check
we refer to the stuff you mine as "raw resources" on the wiki 🤷
Being a nerd is when you argue about if nitrogen is technically a gas/solid/liquid whatever that was
How boring
no that's just what I do all day while getting paid by the pedant job 😆
still can eat it :P
factory cart evanglizing is more of a passion project than a job
nitrogen cant definitively be a gas/liquid/solid since those are states and it can be all of them (as well as several others)
honestly the only reason I'm here is because i got tired of playing alone
Nearly all things at some point turn it all three of those at difference tempos
this generation would call us nerds, and this generation is the majority of people, so they're always right
"you can silence 50 scholars with 1 fact, but you cant silence 1 idiot with 50 facts"
Phone typing....
.
Stop proving my point further 😩✋
uhhh but why
aint this helping you?
Have you tried standing on a busy road with a sign that says "I like trains. Will you play with trains with me?" I've heard 1/3 of all "people" online are just bots at this point and I don't like those odds
Fwiw private-ish discord servers don't have that issue, it's mostly crawlers and social media users that are bots
TRAIN
Anyone going to play on Playstation?
that would be the case if he said that in 1 comment in 1 yt video, but in this server, its like going up to each guy in a car, and asking him if he wants to play, only like 500x faster
You've caught my attention! That was a good approach to make train friends
I uh go mad when i see trains used incorrectly
a lot of people who are going to probably aren't on the server yet

playstations disgust me ngl
like just get a playstation controller, and play on a pc 
I tried again with controller, any precision I once had just goes right out of the window.
Maybe, it seems like there's a lot of users around here who just used a simple prompt about overusing factory carts so that CSS can drive engagement for their game
But satisfactory in your comfy recliner on 70 inch
agentic gamers are everywhere!
Engagement on discord doesn't really have a point, there's no algorithm
me when satisfactory has controller support, and i have a KVM
If you like trains and i like trains i think we needa play a save i made that isnt finnished
I'm happy with my pc and the huge arm chair I have pulled up to my desk, plus its positioned well enough that I can still put a game on the 65 inch nearby if I really wanted to.
keep those active player numbers high!
Like wise but I have found lowering the sensitivity a -lot- really helps and as you get better just slowly increase it
I don‘t know if I miss something but isn‘t it a lot faster to build mk3 belts instead of mk2. Feels like reinforced plates take way longer to create
what are your feelings about factory carts?
Satisfactory is really comfy on controller
yeaent
Yeah that gets worst later on, mark3 are really annoying
you still need well, the actual coal production
My sensitivity is way up, I move the mouse under one inch and can get the pointer accross several 4k screens 😄
how many can the game handle before it crashes lol
thousands
well thats just perfect
one time instead of getting a tractor i just placed down 36 factory carts and made them take items across, they all moved in a conga line
I meant on the controller you can set each independently
I miss the physics of getting rail cars into high orbit 😄
i have a train of 200 cars because why not
Maybe I should give satisfactory on a controller another try... I got bit by a dog the other day so I've been playing Hades from my recliner for like the last 48 hours straight
Oh, my aplogies, I completely misunderstood, to me when sensitivity is mentioned I instantly think of my mouse, I can give changing the controller sensitivity a go, if anything it might make me less bad at Xbox, I just didn't think.
It is a rabbit hole, I'll show you 😄 : here is the update 7 train crash physics, there were 400 cars in the test #design-and-architecture message
It's raining trains!
that's a lot of cars! I need to see your station for it
This one was after the update 8, proper anaemic #satisfactory-experimental message , no more orbitals 😄
my 200 car train does not have a station it just sits on a track to the side
No station, just track strewn haphazardly across the dunes full of railcars #satisfactory-experimental message
Here's the absurd bit, those 400 cars were pulled by one locomotive at a breath taking speed of 13km/h #satisfactory-experimental message
maybe you just need like a station with no cargo platforms - it feels like a crime to not have it slowly crawling around 24/7
letsgameitout flashbacks
It's sole purpose was stressing the games physics engine out in conjunction with my save that was like 3-4x the object limit.
Bro... What if beams had curve mode 😱 Can we still make requests on the QA site?
in a min ima turn the save im in into a server you can join if ya want
I tested it on my brothers 7950x w/rtx4090 and got it down to 3fps.
the BL4 ceo says that's normal for UE5 and you just need to get a better rig
guys did you know theres a chance you hear a helmet knock while drinking the ficsit coffee, indicating we just dont drink the coffee, rather than some osmosis shit
and theres canonically coffee machine in our suit, because the cup empties as soon as you drop it on the floor
indicating that you refill it every time you pick it up
Build a glass wall, and run straight at it. There's a lil treat sound effect there too 😉
the coffee remains perfectly fine even when underwater, that's some serious stuff in there.
uhhhhh
you sure
how so? you unequip your gear when underwater
They put that back?, the donk sound from running into a curtain wall went away for a while, kinda like when weather went.
Yep, helmet Binks on the glass. For some reason some walls don't do it but yeah it still should.
I'll see if I can find my old clip on here, but dude, I build underwater 😛
oh yeah i forgot that i have a mod instaled on this save
Hello chat
try hitting a concrete wall, you wont hear anything, try knocking on glass, youll hear something 
Here it is #streams-and-videos message , yeah the coffee is fine underwater 🙂
guys is that aquaman
the coffee forgot its underwater
Yep yep. The glass ones. I thought I noticed that like the reinforced one didn't or something not now I can't remember
The method requires a hoverpack for free movement, pre position power poles, and climb on a ladder into the water, drop off and tap space before you hit a surface, you'll hover instead of swim and can build, shoot or drink coffee at will.
bonk your head with coffee*
vrc dse
Coffee so thick it doesn't mix with water. Perfect for efficient pioneering
Probably made at the oil refinery.
nah the coffee forgot its underwater, even we forgot we were underwater
ks asedk edjedn yxs rfdg öanm erisajta b vcjrfdetjlrgfisf fdjweir werujfd rfdjwejfrejfrjeikfe
Please don't mash the keyboard.
It's also spill proof thick, bend fully over and look straight down. Not a drop out of place
betting there's a cat involved
dfsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Either a cat or a particularly courageous raccoon
wait a minute..
if we cant drink coffee from the helmet, it only have a tiny chance of making the sfx, that means we can drink the coffee through our suit, because we dont sleep
The sad part is that we can't actually ask for a photo of the cat once they're back
if the computer is in a cave it's probably cats doing it
ada is trolling by turning off our coffee passthrough 😔
Ok, can you try something like "ThfЯюжfjwdchhщшДж" or something 😜
The coffee cup is just for emotional support. The coffee is an illusion. The factory must grow.
speaking of emotional support
LETS MAKE A PETTITION TO REPLACE ADA WITH ELEVADA
Holographic coffee? noooo I must have caffine!
ELEVADA DOSENT ROAST YOU EVERY TIME YOU SPEAK WITH HER, AND IS ALOT SIMPLER
ELEVADA REVOLUTION!!!!
Electronic Lift Entertainment Voice is for that
Why not install GLaDOS (you monster)
Caffeine tablets will be added to a drawer in the hub. Additionally, caffeine inhalers are now researchable in the MAM in the poison gas tree... Don't ask why
because GLaDOS wants triumph, not spaghetti
i personally dont want to be attached to a potato battery
oh... and my build is FINALLY in phase 5
is it possible to place a high barrier on a ramp
Don't install it in most peoples pcs these days then 😄
bold of you to assume im not using a potato battery wall to power my pc
I got to get back to my nuclear fuel rod production. Anyone know if you can sink the fuel rod? I know waste won't sink but I've not really done this part much. 😅
Everything except waste sinks afaik
Safe assumption tbh, even with enough potatoes it wouldn't work for long and it would all go off.
Though it's usually not worth it to sink fuel compared to just producing more energy
i know
im using a bunch of biomass burners instead
Plutonium cells won't either, though uranium cells will, that's why you have to fully process plutonium to fuel before sink.
I just want it to sink while I figure out the actual plants, trouble shoot production step for now
Ah fair yeah
Oh so cells don't sink either? Good to know. Neat. Glad I hadn't tried that yet lol
Yeah, you have to go all in with plutonium in order to sink the fuel 🙂
Gotcha. Thanks for the heads up!
or instead of doing allat, sacrifice the doggos to the void
they can carry 500 waste per doggo
That would be impractical in my old save, I'd have to kill 2-3 doggos per minute to stay ahead of the waste 😛
@unkempt blade new theory, every train is run by a factory cart inside 🤔
fine ill find a more sane way
just uhhhhh
the uhhhhhhhhh
umhhhhhh
make a really tall tower of industrial storage container
I didn't think I want to build a basketball net like LGIO lol. Although I would love a lil basketball hoop for the pioneer! @devs wink wink. If we can't get golf, just start suggesting every other sport lol
I fear I goofed my sleep schedule, so I’m just gonna play satisfactory till my mom wakes up so I can tell her I can’t go to school
Imagine having storage LOL
Oww err no thanks, that 1050 waste per minute went here before I started the reactors https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvH2myCJoXo 🤣
Personally I don’t recommend skipping school out of my own experience 
sleep schedule? you sleep? nah.... ficsit needs you boy, get back to work and do 3 sets of 100% efficent modular frame factory
Don't skip school. Don't make my mistakes
atleast your factory looks nice so you can present it, mines hell contained in a tower
If they do a 1.2, I really want the weather back, I miss rain.
Soon. (TM)
Nah I’m sick currently, and my mom said she wouldn’t let me go if I have a really bad cough
I fear I have a really bad cough rn…
How hard did you fail in life because of it?
So do the plants 🙁
you have a really bad urge to play satisfactory
One of my goals has always been to keep my factories walkable, it also helps when I make giant mistakes that cause the whole system to fold up.
I’ve been playing marvel rivals all week…
my factories can barely be hoverpackable
Well as long as you can walk / sit / talk / listen, you can go to school ~ my parents 
"oh you exist? you can go to school
"
Don't like logistics making the landscape look like Let's game it out, hide your belt crimes down here! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z08ziPYDOto 😄
Why is this so real
Thanks to a wonderful family of support, not as bad as I could have. Technically got my GED on time at 18 on my own efforts, did get some college on my own, family helped me get through aircraft maintenance school
I am, therefore I think?
damn that’s actually not that bad
i can barely get myself to make a well organized hypertube, let alone make this masterpiece
A old friend of mine who skipped school with me ended up homeless and started taking drugs
I don't even really have a factory...
How— where—- h u h
Under the map, here's a primer on how to get there: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rc9T_ZlDv68
Thanks! It wasn't easy though. It was definitely touch and go there for awhile. Almost did lose housing towards the end so I know just how hard it can be, how easy it can all fall apart. I'm sorry for your friend.
The music choice is peak
@zenith pecan check out my average organization
#screenshots message
Alr lemme actually go try and snooze cause I feel it in my eyes
That place looks like the size of this #design-and-architecture message , just, evils.
are there any german satesfactory content creators ?
There are some
hey uh.. what i showed u is one of 7 floors
Satisfactory+German engineering=🤯
it's beautiful but it needs more lights so we can marvel at its awesomeness better
That one shown was just the end point of my old nuclear fuel production, there were 26 other factories feeding it 🙂
atleast it looks fine from outside here #screenshots message
This is really cool - I do the same thing except the complete opposite.
chaos1699 is one but he isn’t popular
Did an earthquake hit, everything is crooked, I'd be constantly going back to make it all straight.
you still didnt see the conveyor hell on side, one second..
I like the mini tornado over on the side
it's called a miragequake I think
i plan on making it bigger soon
Even my largest has to be in perfect order, such as this place #screenshots message , it deals with bauxite.
I like those conveyors, they have a lot of character
Organised spaghetti
He stole a borg cube and crashed it, then called it a factory 😛
ive learned that if it works, dont touch it
I'd hate to troubleshoot if a mistake was made though.
100 emoji react - my "starter" factories are now buried at the bottom of spaghetti and are completely efficient so I never have to think about them ever again
my math is right, the efficency is 100%, the "aesthetics" are delightful too
What would your power station look like if you were producing 1.1tw 😄
uhhhh
probably something like a pollution hazard
This is mine #satisfactory-experimental message 😄
#screenshots message how would you go about covering up/fixing this
just you wait till i get to the pollution hazard i have as coal gens
im in the hypertube on the way
Ahh, mine is a colossal rocket fuel plant sitting in the bottom of the blue crater, it's towers can be seen from anywhere on the map though kinda like this #screenshots message
well atleast yours looks cool
The place itself had no actual plan for floor layout, I kind of made it up as I went along.
This while old is kinda how I organise coal #design-and-architecture message
Hello my friend and me are new on the game, and i want to know if you know what is the best factory at the start and how to have no problem with electricity we already have unlocked coal and water
so basically ive decided that this server is actually a shit ton better than me at the game
😢
is it just me or its so easy to get side tracked
wanted to hook up my sulfur production to my main base...
and proceeded to do up an entire oil power plant
probably forgot that the sulfur being full time used required power
it's an infinite loop
wanna see my most organized area?
I already did post my factory too depressed
you just need more practice and also lots and lots of factory carts
I wasn't trying to discourage or anything, only provide some ideas if they'd help 🙁
the archiecture is for the pretty builders, I am far from that
guess you need to see it... then you'll feel better at the game
see what
it's glorious! it just needs more factory carts to reach perfection
98% of my factory #screenshots message
better than anything ive made 🤷
Organised if open air though.
My old steel plant which is still running is built into a skeleton that I never enclosed.
Its foundries will eventually shut down as I finally routed 4800 steel ingots from the three towers, so i can expand production without needing to take up coal & iron.
alright now... @solemn crystal time for the big bit. I'm in phase 5
great
I just make everything really really colorful to disguise the face that I'm bad at making interesting factory shapes #screenshots message
and that is the entire size of my factory 😛
A bit too loud for me.
ok so what you're saying is that its a crafting bench with extra steps
you don't want to go to the rave at the steel parts factory? 🙁
That looks like it was created using Salt https://autumnfallstudios.itch.io/salt
my nitro plant is a little quieter #screenshots message
time to piss off every single architect in the vicinity#screenshots message
this will make anyone rage
Istg phase 4 is the worst phase in the entire game
#screenshots message @glad drum where did you find this amusement park?
I've had to do that in the past to make doors and conveyor holes line up to where I want them, though I used concrete walls for it.
a little contrast is good, it's like using brick and wood siding together on a house
#screenshots message imagine using walls
https://tenor.com/view/pizza-invader-zim-i-made-it-myself-gif-5102420
edit: its the "I MADE IT MYSELF" Invade Zim GIR gif
oh wait i did use walls actually
well... back to unlocking matter conversion by hand building
better
your spaghetti is inspiring
now remember, nobody gets angry here, we've seen Josh builds
Let's game it out is what got me started playing this game 😄
is there any way to upgrade all conveyors on a network or is that too hopeful?
It's actually starting to get ridiculous - I've noticed a little bit of a fps drop when I'm looking into the depths of it. I'm worried.
dont make me to to the dunes
I do wonder what he'd do if he did those little words "New game!"
well, you can replace conveyors, so with enough time you can do it
thats basically my sandbox area
Ahh cool, I didn't know this tool was a thing. Thanks
ok thanks
you're the one that can tell if clicking every single conveyor is too hopeful, but uuuh, why do you want to upgrade them?
to take them from mk1 to mk3
but why do you need the upgraded throughput
300 oil to 900 plastic/rubber is the bane of my existence. why can't this block of 50+ refineries be blueprinted in any way? absolutely despise making this manually
its for my SAM to catch up with the requirement to reanimate it
Sometimes when I mess up a system so completely I wish I could just load a tornado with 1400's and just blast it and start over, alas just the dismantle tool has to do 😄
don't let success frighten you, that fps drop just means you're winning harder than ever before
eh, you just need 51 refineries and 8 mixers
Blueprint a set of 4 and build from there? That's what I ended up doing
oh yeah, that's what i did for my shitty turbofuel powerplant
building itself ended up being a very small part of the process
there was probably equally as much designing the bps and fixing the plant
I'm kind of torn as to weather or not to pipe all of the spire coast into one giant refinery again or make a dozen smaller ones this time.
I think I just broke depressed by showing him the josh video
Thank you 🙂 There's still so much work to be done. I haven't made any factories with quartz, sulfur and now need a bunch more modular frames and other basic parts to move forward. There's about to be a rapid expansion.
Not to mention I have my AI Limiters so I can use more sushi belts (which actually just overcomplicate things, perfect)
who's depressed?
guys i got final destination'd#screenshots message
summoned 🙂
Stop slacking and stay efficient 😛
i already watched it
i have similar thing in the same spot in the dunes
yknow the "train entrance/exit, slight chance of concussio if used" signs? yea i got hit by a train
Accidently dying is no excuse for not continuing to exploit this world 🤣 , ADA would not approve of the time off.
ok buddy im going back to shapez 2, atleast they appreciate me there
yknow what strike that im gonna go beat up robots in vr
I wish there was a machine that you can feed it any resources and you can pick what you need based off the what has been deposited into the machine Like an awesome+ sink. The blueprint designer but better !!
Like a giant storage container with assignable outputs?
converter🤔
dont believe me? look at my activiyy
Recycled rubber and recycled plastic with an effecient fuel recipe is the easy way out. No clue what the numbers will be tho
Yes, I have a storage problem and most can be turned into other helpful items
Maybe...
Why not make a blueprint of 3 ref. With the recycled rubber and recycled plastic recipes making eighter 90 plastic or 90 rubber profit with a 1:1 ratio to fuel.
Unless you plan to use all the oil on the map it might be worth looking into.
yeah it was about dark matter residue, but I already figured out and ballanced everything. I'm basically using 51 sloops in sam production buildings, and most of that is in the process for making pow we augmenter stuff
i ragequit

are you AI
WHAT

I'm not! I'm just asking
thats what they all say...
cue the "You can't just ask someone if they're AI" crowd
wdym?
Jeez, y'all are making one too many AI Limiters smh
Time to triple AI limiter production.
i assume your pfp
im only making 100 per minute...
Among other things yes that is the main thing though
GOD All I wanna do is play Satisfactory but I have to WORK.
What does mine say about me? This can be the new astrology
That you're SIIIIIIIIICK bro
imagine me doing the 🤙 while saying it though
That's much more flattering than I expected! The stars must be aligned
unemployment...🤔
but if unemployed I can't afford power IRL which means I can't power my factories
move to germany
iirc you get paid living and 503 euro per month
nie sprecken nein deutsche
you need to find a sponsor that will send you to an exoplanet so you'll have more gaming time
I'm really motivated by my old world in which i've completed the game but uhh, i tried maknig a new safe file and early game is the most boring shit ever known to man
What do i do
I 100% agree.
I tend to build quickly and somewhat messy to just get shit off the ground ASAP and will do a lot of AFK manual crafting to get past the first phase and start a coal plant.
Once you have coal, and a decent supply of iron plates, rods and concrete, then you can build some nicer stuff and destroy yoru starting stuff.
Explore for advanced parts (to either sink or use to unlock milestones early) -- AFK Manual Craft (or AFK let your factories run).
You can also use Advanced Settings temporarily to cheat your way forward... or find a save (or make one) where you've gotten past the boring stuff to use in the future as a "template" when starting anew.
put on some music or the tv or something and power through... or use AGS or something
or you can just go to your "old world" and either delete everything or just go to a different part of the map
cause then you got all the dimensional depot stuff
Whats ags again
advanced game settings (basically cheat options)
Idk, it's soooo boring to like start at automation but you got literally nothing, you have to go around being slow af trying to find all the nodes then power then automate everything
but if you want to skip some research or speed things up with flying for a bit or whatever... the game is supposed to be fun so do what's fun 😄
I can't force myself to do this
Would be cool if there was like a preset wrold with all basic stuff and electricity
And stuff
you could probably start a save and dial it in like that with SCIM it would just take more effort
Go to the Doggo Cave, get the Blade Runners that are there... explore and find the necessary materials to advance to Coal. Cause you can find plenty of parts just sitting by the crash sites
or turn off build cost for a bit, set some stuff up, then turn it on when you feel like you have enough
but yeah like what he said, probably better faster to just cheat if you don't care about achievements anymore
Got the only one i need and it's phase 5
Golden nut can be temtping but idk, don't feel like grinding
Might do that on holidays becaue with school can't focus my day on one thing, thanks for tips
Not to mention one weekend which sucks
You just leave your game on anyway, you could do it on your old world if you really wanted to
you dont need to grind, you can just afk it
Grinding to get high coupon item production
it doesn't mention factory carts enough, it really needs to stay focused on the most important logistical choice
just sink turbo motors
My factory kinda doesn't have any overflow except for singlurirty cells, so no prob
I've calculated everything precisly
and also, you don't need to grind very much when you can just afk sink
Without singluarity cells i have like 1m points per minute(800k)
leave my factory running? in this economy?!?! 😆
jesus christ, how many coupons did you spend?
well I need all the decorative stuff + factory carts + the coffee cup + all of the statues so...
that's probably what? a couple thousand?
Control room for that type of thing would be cool, easily monitor your megafactory from one room if you label and group everything well enough
chain conveyor would be cool too for aesthetic... imagine having a "slaughterhouse" for all your animal parts hanging from hooks
I've got everything except the golden nut, only like 20 away from confusing creature
Mines also in millions
I bought everything except golden nut in my old world, in my new world, I'm buying basically nothing until I get my gold nut
oh and can't forget boom boxes for every single inch of my main factory
I only bought one boombox.
the sound radius is too small imo 🙁
They should add speakers so you can make the boombox play everywhere, like at rail stations.
Need a speaker system you can set up to the control room to set the music for each room
yeah that was how subnautica handled it which worked really nicely for spreading the sound
I'd love spotlights like the ones in subnautica.
every upvote and comment helps
Heyyy y'all ❤️
Hello / Здравствуйте
friend just found me encased industrial pipes, so now im going up from 25 EIB/m to 33.3
thank god he foudn them BEFORE i started making the construction part of my steel factory
Petition for ficsonium powered boombox
some of these factory modules have turned into something i wouldve made in factorio stg
OOOH, you got the pedro pedro pedro meme for your pic 😆
yer :)
with discord nitro so he be spinnin
Oof, I misread that and almost went on a rant 🤦♂️
I'm a big fan of many aspects of electronica music, I'm old so kind of grew up with it when it "started"
A lot of my video shorts in this discord use 30+ year old chip tunes, literally from another age.
The music in this Satisfactory trailer... 🤯 💪 👍 #streams-and-videos message
Decided to measure the factory I'm building, production area is 336m x 936m base, and 112m high, that doesn't include the sorting facility or the 6 train stations. This has grown a bit more than I was intending, but it's a fun end goal I suppose
I always play the Sanctum soundtracks on the boombox. They should give us ways to add our own music to the boombox (i know there would probably be licensing/copyright issues for some things, but I'm sure it could be figured out.)
I seem to enjoy the objectives in this game AND when they are "gone" RIP enjoyment? I'm on my 6th playthrough and about to start number 7 😆
I don’t think there’s copyright issues when you add your own music to boomboxes
Since, it’s private and not public
Anyone have any idea why blueprints are taking resources arnd are invisible and intangible?
have you given them a second to build?
yes
Hmmm, maybe try saving and then restarting the game?
hey yall, just working on making spaceship items for phase 4. at this point in the game, would the biggest limiter of throughput of high volume items be the belt speed? i can extract raw resources at a much higher rate than belt speed can carry so im guessing my production would be capped based on that?
id upload a video of it but it appears to be blocked ont his sverver
Send it there
thanks!
Unlike other fuel consuming vehicles, drones doesn't displayed which fuel was previously loaded in it. What will happen if I change the supply of a drone port?
Will there be some problems? Or will they change their input once they run out of the last one they took?
This is gonna sound really really crazy, but check in the caves beneath you
Yup
will do
You did already try restarting your game, yes?
i recently also saw a video about using mk1 belts coming off of splitters in a manifold system for smelters and over/underclocking the smelters depending on how far down the line/how much items they receive. Does this affect final throughput?
no, but it worsens power efficiency / costs shards / makes the manifold warm up slower rather than faster
What one can "do" with mk1 belts is very very very limited
for the fastest warmup use your fastest belt and smart splitter so that only overflow goes further down the manifold
Is there a way to shut off mutiple biomass generators at once, since I use like 8 of them to reboot my fuel-generators.
Turn one off and press ctrl + c & ctrl + v
connect 8 of them to power pole/s and then you can use a single wire to connect that to your other stuff. Delete wire and they're not powering anything.
Holy shit you’re smart
OMG the power setting is a pasteable feature?!?! I made a macro to do that 😆
You can shut down buildings with the red button in the bottom right corner
... we have a caterium research to turn off things too...
Too complicated
"trow one switch, copy/paste" vs "build switch, throw single switch"
Yes, that is what I had the macro do because I did not recall the power setting part of the "cut paste settings" feature and now I do?
From what I understand when I tried using a priority power switch with fuel-powered gens it did not "work"
priority power witch is not the same
that turns on/off when power is out, the one on the left is just a switch
It sounds like I'm not sure why one of these will work and the other does not 🤷
how do i stop my pipes from filling up and flowing perfectly but then becoming fully empty with 0 flow for 20 second intervals
The Priority Power Switch is an improved variant of the Power Switch. It can be used to set which sections (named Circuit Break Priority) [1] of the power grid should shut off first, if a power trip is about to occur. Additionally, it allows other Priority Power Switches on the grid to be toggled remotely. (that's the difference
i love these elevators ngl
By reading the pipe manual you get a good understanding of pipes (or you open a thread in #1038092680493801533 )
height dump entry lines
rn im filling from below so youre saying just have the oil be higher up?
Oh yea, I forgot those were added, maybe I try now
doc is a good resource
I think I'm still "waking up" brain not 100% currently
waking up is a distraction from efficiency and will result in docking of time off. get to work
When one wishes to "prime the pipes" on a fuel-powered gen setup it does not appear a single power switch will allow one to shut off all of the gens for some reason? 🤔 What is the solution to this?
can u make blueprints in one world and have them in the other? or do u need to like move the file locations
Yes and yes
its one or the other wdym yes and yes 😭
Both are true https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Blueprint
is anyone in here familar with setting up a dedicated server/ Havent got any help in the room specified for it
The "hardest part" is probably port forwarding on your router
i have that done can see server
when i log in to it this is what shows on the server log
well cant post screenshot here
Does the log on process succeed or naw?
OH nevermind
no it doest says lost connection to host
I see 2nd screenshot
yeah
been trying all morning
prolly something simple but cant find answers anywhere lol
all ports forwarded in router an in firewall
... is the host online?
Are you "local" to the server and this is the result OR when you attempt to connect are you "outside" of the local network and are relying on the server and forwarded ports to be "correctly set"
then you probably need to visit #dedicated-servers
already have and no responses at all
documentation is probably in the pins there...
only reson i am in here
Yea we can move this conversation to that channle
Can you get me a screenshot of a future update where I can put different liquids in the coffee cup like eggnog or Pilk
I would but my 🔮 ran out of 🪫.... 🤷
my power grid keeps on turning off even though power production is higher than max consumption, how do i check what is messing up the grid?
if its turning off then its most likely something in the power production. Which form of power gen are you using?
coal production
okay so step one make sure your coal belts are delivering enough coal/min to supply how much all your plants are burning/min
if that seems fine, then look at your water pumps, make sure they are doing the same and that it isnt set up in a way that they don't get enough water because of the pipe flow limits.
the standard ratio that most people use is i believe 8 coal plants to 3 water pumps.
thanks, one of my gens didnt have enough water
Gens be thirsty 😆
indeed. Im currently in fuel generator mode and they drink the fuel just as greedily.
im just about ready to start fuel myself
2.4gw almost used up entirely now that ive finsihed the internals of my steel factory
If you are aggressive in your hub research then you can progress through power gen tiers pretty quickly. I already unlocked nuclear but i haven't even gotten my factory to 10gw yet. still have at least 2 levels of fuel available to upgrade my fuel generator plant.
yeah my friend smashes out the researching while i do the factory building
im usually catching up to what hes researched lol
i have atm used 2181/2400MW now that steel is done
and thats with a basic and advanced iron factory, copper factory, concrete factory and a little coal supply set up for any trucks i wish to use, just for fueling them
thinking of doing a small caterium one before i deal with oil stuff
with what power is left
Ive played 25 hours within the last week and I already feel myself not wanting to play/burned out, anything I can do to not burn out?
i spend a little bit of time in between factories doing some decorative stuff
roads between factories and such
helps me personally
Take a break and go visit nature, if you do not enjoy what you are doing obviously stop
yeah best advice from my pov is to change up what you do in the game occasionally. Sometimes you can just go exploring and see what you find, sometimes i build transportation networks to connect different factories in better ways, sometimes i choose to build a specific item factory, sometimes i decide to upgrade an old factory to perform better. Sometimes i go hunting to build up alien dna for tickets.
i gueeing having the back and the front of a storage on diffent hights foundation wise would cause it to be not even
yeah... The thing is thats what i need to to too. I need to build a train track to transport things from my main base and where i produce plastic/rubber to a manufacturing plant.
do you ahve sufficiant music playing in the background?
sometimes i just gather mats and use a sharded/slooped assembler(etc) to build a bunch of parts for the mam or hub research
yeah, but then I most likely end up quinting the game fora couple of months then coming back start a new world and quit again due to burnout. I never actually end up making progress. This is my second time stopping at phase 3.
but if you're bored with the game, its also possible its not really for you, or at least isnt as encompassing for you as it is for others, so maybe just have a few different games to play and switch to other genres when you start to feel like something different
moslty YT vids
or yeah like that other person said, go get some fresh air and enjoy nature a bit
make a hypertube cannon
hehe yeah i would call that exploring, because you wont know where you will land if you point it into the blackness of the map.
cannons! the cause of and solution to all of Josh's little problems
alrighty. the belly of the beast is built
nothing special but 10 motors, 33.33 EIB, 45 steel beams and 60 steel pipes per min should do me afor a bit
Try something different than train
is there a way i can link to a post i just did in #design-and-architecture to this chat?
so i can refer to it
Right cliick the message, then "copy message link"
#design-and-architecture message like th is?
Yup
ah huge. well, thats my first steel/motor factory. finally made use of some alt recipes
I finish the game before I put most alts into play 😆
Maybe I should pick them sooner instead of hoard them next run 🤔
kinda cant, need to to transport important items....
next on my list i think is quartz and caterium stuffs
just tiny factories, especially for silica since i do use it
I built a train and ended up using "sky belt highways" with 1m foundations for a few things 😆. I don't seem to enjoy dealing with trains for some reason
my closest quartz seems so far away tho maybe ill hold off a lil
truck :)
i find trucks better than trains half the time cuz truck stations dont pause their input when theyre unloading/loading like train stations do
lil bit more reliable
train stations are also reliable tbh
they are yeah
it depends what you're doing with it. fairly long distances, ill go to a train
eh, it's perfectly predictable and can be fully accounted for
Have someone else make you the logistics line so you can enjoy the factory building 😹
I'd be building tunnels 😛

Q&A: Could custom music be added now we have Streamer Mode?
https://youtu.be/SRKB8VqLXdw
you might be right that there might be some some legality with copyright as to like if people add custom music to the game technically they're the ones who are breaking copyright not us so like we wouldn't be liable for anything but it might be like a show of good faith that we don't add that to the game

Q&A: Any plans to make Wwise to be easier to work with for Modders?
https://youtu.be/UBIppcw8blE
we would have to make our own like the way vys work with a game it's like it's not super easy to mod with
There is no secret way out of the SAM cave in the north of the dune desert right?
Daaaamg, what if it's my own music that I made?
refer to wwise issue
by the coal, there is
that cave has like 3 entrances/exits
I forgot how awesome trains were
fuse blow. Panic! Sever and rest fuse. Works...Where the power? Only added like 250, should have 25K avail...Its only conected to a Power augmenter. the whole dang time...Ficsedit. Kalm.
The really tight one, no, I have a shaft going into that from below because there is no way I'm threading a belt through that cramped mess.
watching your truck flying is so scary
not sure if it gonna end up in the void lol
fair point, but non of my friends want to try the game, not even when they can refund :/
They are missing out
thats what im saying
I can't even get my partner to play the game even though I bought it for her, she calls it "busy work - the game" 🙁
well, it certainly helps
True
Sigh... I need steel pipes and every crash site is like... nope, best I can do is encased beams 😄
you dont need to just find them you can unlcok them
went too far from spawn maybe? loot gets better as you get farther away from the starting locations
Oooof, 🤷 yea not everybody enjoys the same stuff
Probably, Im in the coast area already 😄
the good news is that there's 1252 pipes to be found
Im not even in phase one yet 😄
first I needed 100 to get explosives to get to SAM
and now I need more to get to dim depots 😄
etc
could've found different SAM
i think by time you find them you could already unlocked them tbh lol
possibly, but I enjoy trying to have it unlocked before settling down properly 😄
@dry wyvern #screenshots message How did you do those wire fences
Those are bought from the awesome shop with coupons.
I bought everything from it, I don't have them
Hmm, let me double check.
Btw can someone help me with this please? #screenshots message
This is a wire and tarp fence #screenshots message
That's not the same
Only one I've seen unless you saw a modded piece.
Can you link his screenshot please?
I did, in the message
Definitely modded.
I managed to snooze
That's the sort of thing I probably would have had around power conduits just for looking cool, even though single wires are enough 😄
They're from the mod Structual Solutions and using the mod Infinite Nudge to rotate it to make it like that cage around
Well... sunk super computer as my first item sunk... 21 coupons instantly 😄
Weird, I don't see that item in that mod
It's in the SS EXP1 at the bottom
It's not on the mod page, I will try the mod then
Yeah the mod page doesn't seem to show everything
why are some of my custom icons yellow
In the map?
yea
Yeah I think that's just a bug that happens, it usually goes away if you just close and open it again
My friend had the same thing and I think he mentioned it was a problem with tunneling
hey guys how's it going?
what do you recommend for heavy modular frames? i got a factory that produces around 40 modular frames per minute plus another 1175 iron per minute
I recommend building a factory for them 🙂
do i go for iron pipes or get coal?
encased alt
depends what's easier
up to you, which one you prefer
yeah that one is way better i figured
yeah definitely encased
without getting coal involved i get abt 10 heavy modular frames a minute out of almost 1800 ingots crazy
neither iron nor coal are particularly precious, so it doesn't really matter whether you go with default or iron pipe
Man, it'd be so rad if there was a way to monitor efficiency across your factory at a centralized location... like naming a certain area of the power grid and if ANY of the machines aren't running at the designated % or above, it shows it as an icon on a display you've placed
yeah, 1800 ingots for 10 HMF/min coalless sounds about right
honestly i could get more if i cut back on modular frames, i produce 40 and i am only using 24
had a lot of reinforced plates laying around
i think for now since i am not even in phase 4 i am gonna stick to iron and go back and upgrade everything once i need them
should be allright hopefully
Can i have multiple drovnes deliver to one port?
is there a way to import synthetic power shards into the sftool calculator
input?
as a recipe
wdym import?
i found a way tho
it's already there?
yeah i didnt see it under alt recipes i was confused idk
it doesn't need a HDD to unlock so it's not an alt
but turbo fuel also counts as an alt recipe and its unlocked through the mam
makes sense then
also how do you disable all the sam converter recipes?
just a quick queastion if u start a new game wil ur old save be compleetly gone of is it just load game u load in that game
- disable them 1 by 1
- disable the converter
- disable SAM
reanimated sam
- search for
(in recipe list
you can always play on the old save
thank u
works like any other game...
ey im new XD to the game its beter to ask
then deleting ur game
No actual zipline poles?? I know you use electricity lines, but how do you get past the end of the line where the pole is?
disconnect and reconnect on the next line
jump
or use power towers
or ceiling outlets
thats how it worked back in the good ol days before power t*wers
Power towers for long distance non jumping runs I would imagine?
imo power towers between factories, ceiling mounts within a factory (if you want to zipline around it)
Would a hypertube cannon onto a zip line work?
How far can a power tower power line stretch lol
300m iirc
will the website get updated to 1.1 in the future btw?
It's already 1.1-compatible; there were no recipe changes in 1.1
it doesn't really need to imo. it's missing like 2 things from the codex and that's it
Ya, power towers work....thanks
yeah the only change needed for 1.1 would be to rename the version in top right corner 😄
well and some codex changes but nobody cares about that
theres a codex on the website?
see? 🙂
actually, do we even need the codex in new tools?
that'd solve your versioning dilemma 
I think I’ve been playing satisfactory too much…
nhaa never too much
just start over
I literally started dreaming about how I’m going to pull my resources to my new base while I was sleeping 😔🙏
I fear I’m a new player…
i did that sinds 50 hoursss
why everyone hates screws ?
XD i know the feeellingggggg
It's definitely the sort of game which can do that to a person. :)
because u need a lot of it
Cause SCREW screws Mayn…
- have you considered using factory carts to move your resources
- maybe take a walk or something too if you feel that way
I hate them because almost all recipes that use them just suck ass
Generally it's because they try to centralize screw production using slow belts which are unsuited for it, and don't realize that that's the game's way of suggesting that you don't centralize them. :)
that's hardly a reason to hate them
the math
Been playing other games, actively avoiding it. I fear it did not work
same thing, hardly a reason to hate them. Math around screws is the same as with anything else
start playing and do it
I remember dreaming about WoW back when I played and that was my sign to take a couple days off 😆
Depending on what alt recipes you've got, then recipes which replace screws with something else might be more resource-efficient, so that's certainly a good reason to avoid them if you're doing that. Though IMO that's hardly worth hating them for. :)
but screw
Because the base recipes for things take the thing you make screws WITH and uses it, so then you have to have triple or double iron rods to even get enough screws
All just to find out… you’ll never have enough screws
But yeah, in general it's just because people try to make a bunch of them in one location and then try to shuffle them around a factory using only mk1 or mk2 belts, and yeah, of course that's gonna be a nightmare. :) Don't Do That, Then™, is what the game's trying to teach you in those cases. :)
most people either repeat "screws suck" because they heard someone saying that (for no reason) or they build them in weird ways which causes them to have issues with them.
steel beams helps ngl
that just makes them even more expensive
Ive essentially consumed steel like it’s food
My northern most quartz processing facilities numbers wouldn't work without screws.
if im not mistaken often steel rods into standart screws is the most ressource efficient way for screws.
I calculate in advance how much I need and build that much. No reason to "not have enough screws"
welll atleast u get more of them
people try to do one huge screw manifold and then get frustrated it normally feels like
My brain isn’t big enough for that 😔
then use some production calculators 😉
u can plan everything in advance, or just say i need like plastic build a big factory and then take from there and hope u produce enought.
Sigh… I just wanna build pretty things 😔🙏
working at it is how you get brain gains though, just think of how mentally jacked you could be
show the fac
I agree, overproduce all the things and sink the extras until you run out then repeat the process!
It’s.. it’s being remade rn…
It looks like a hot mess tbh
Then I get to figure out how to belt things where I need them 🫠
i mean for stuff like plastic, just megaprint your factory, modularized to 600 oil inputs and spam it over the map
its always fun to look at other facs XD ngl im not that far im at fase 4 and my first oil fac is prettyyy gooddd
there's no reason NOT to build them its free stuff
Ah yes.. I’m only phase 2….
u gettinggg there
me suffering for screws XD and dreams about them
you mean facs like this? #screenshots message
get alts then
more like output of coke and making 3,300 k steel per min
with 1 pure oil rig
oh you mean like this #screenshots message
3300k steel? so 3300000?
That's a lot 😱 🥶
ya 3.3 megasteel
XD screw issue solved
why u rebuilding it
With MK6 belt + Slide Jump + Liquid Biofuel tap tap tap = 231 foundations (1.86km) 😆
happy birthday chat
that's pretty awesome for a cannonless jump
Yea! Like 3-4 stops will get you anywhere on the map
I didn’t like how it looked, so I’m redoing it
aaaaaaaaaahhhh
well im heading to bed guys goodluck
Me with every solo save I ever started
Planning on doing my next one in a way where all conveyors are indoors/covered one way or another
is 50 hours decent pace for phase 3?
some people like to play fast, some like to play slow. if you're happy with your speed, it's decent 😛
Depends on your personal play style.
just curious to how quickly other people do it
I personally found the game to get a little repetitive and boring after 125-150 hours. By the time u get to phase 4, you're burned out and in most zones, resources become a pain in the ass to get to and bring to your factory unless you're in the desert.
because this is how i did up to now so far
jetpack and hoverpack could use some major improvements, like making it last a lot longer. especially the hoverpack. you need powerlines near by to make it even useful. should be ran off a battery pack that's made to be charged every so often. Just a few things I have ran into that are annoying.
i love extra long blue prints
the blue print machine is pretty bad ass. but I just use AI to tell me how to setup the machines
did you intend to use AI in that sentence
Yes.
please refrain from speaking to me
Using AI for anything related to this game is a fool's errand
Its a sandbox game.. Sorry but who cares how one play the game?
why mess around with the blueprint machine when AI will do it all for you.
What to build (quick)
Merger after the Blenders
Merge both Blender outputs (total = 50 EUC/min).
Storage Container = “EUC Buffer”
Feed that merged belt into a Storage Container. This is the buffer.
Splitter to the Manufacturers
From the container’s output, place a Splitter and send 25 EUC/min to each of your two Fuel-Rod Manufacturers (Mk.1 belt is fine; Mk.2 if you like headroom).
(Optional) Smart Splitter overflow
Put a Smart Splitter right after the container:
Main output: → both Manufacturers
Overflow: → AWESOME Sink (prevents the line from backing up if the Manufacturers stop).
I… I’m not gonna speak about my opinion on it. Whatever work for you buddy 👍
that's a lot of map uncovered. how long did it take you to do that and what zone did you pick for starter?
tf is a EUC?
putting a buffer in the middle of production is dumb
smart splitter goes before a container, not after
the advice regarding belt tiers is just stupid (you either use the slowest or fastest belt. using an intermediate one is just dumb)
about 50 hours now. about half of that was exploring
like I said, fool's errand
starter zone was the forest area, never tried it before so i went with it this time
Yea I was trying to figure that out too… an EUC doesn’t sound like something normal…
50hours is some good progression. my first game was in the forest. I might go back to the forest now that I know more aobut the game.
EUC (Encased Uranium Cells)
Whats the best way to dismantle your whole factory. Just got tier 2 miners so I want to recreate every thing with copper alloys etc
and I know what EUC stands for and what it's talking about so honestly that's all that matters? also, splitters go before and after a container, depending on what/how you want to use the splitters. there's literally ZERO wrong way to place anything.
hold ctrl key down and move your mouse around highlightling up to 50pieces then demo it
you can do 50 pieces at once.
reading it again and again, I now understand what it's trying to do. and it's a completely moronic way to set things up. plus there's a lot of irrelevant and useless information/advice
like who tf would unironically set something like this up?
Some people use mods as a tool to solve their ingame problems.. Some use Pen&Papir as a tool.. Some use online tools, like SCIM or SF Tools..
The game is a sandbox, if a person wanna use AI or LLM as an approach to Satisfactory, its just another tool in the toolbox..
But some folks here a rather sensitive on how others should play the game.
Do you do anything but complain? I bet you're a real joy to be around in person. Let me know when you actually own and run a company, invent something, or make at lest 250K/yr. Until then, you will always beneath me so quit even replying, negative nancy.
time to go back to real life.
that power outage could not have happend at a better time
just as i was rolling by in my truck lol
the AI is giving you awful advice, but sure go off, defend it 👍
Aint the only one around here whom got a rather black/white approach to how other should or shouldnt play the game.. One reason this discord somehow becomes an echo chamber..
Was told the same when i did self implemented challenges to Satisfactory, had to defend why I decided to play in an inefficient way, like i was on trial on court :)
Lmao tm shits ironic and comedy. Good lawyer practice though 😂
Anyone else having problems with keep inventory not working
i jumped off the map with it on and everything is gone
did you save changes
ive had it on for months
and i checked it was still on
turning on and off makes it work again
so RIP all that stuff
umm sulfer has been removed form smart splitters ?
sulfur
yea it not there
Sounds like a bug, in a way that normally when u die, it spawns a crate with your stuff.. And if that setting is on, it just auto transfers the stuff from crate to player when u respawn.
But as youre outside map limits the crate dont spawn, and cant transfer to you.
did you spell it correctly
Usually do 4 as its clears most machines
#screenshots message certainly there for me
4-5 walls high
Beside the explanation above.. and depending on frequency of auto save.. I often take the L and respawn before I died and redo what I just did :)
ive done it before and it worked so idk why it only happened now
wait what
yep
oh
well ok i didnt relize you had to research it in mam first
to use it but i guess that make sense
Could very much be some edge case scenario.. Computer programs sometimes works in mysterious ways :P
smartsplitter is part of mami
How does multiplayer work, is it like a minecraft realm or just reg multiplayer
So every player can come and go as they please?
Every player invited*
If server is hosted as dedicated server yeah..
If server is something you host “locally” then u need to be online for others to be join.
no wait i did research it
what's your question?
it was in multiplayer with a freind we reloaded and his stuff went away too
so theres some whack crap going on here
oh i was just saying befor that sulfer wasnt showing up in smart splitter
so i though maybe i hand research it in the maim
ah yeah
sulfer but i did it did however show up after i resarched black powder
RIP 🪦
wow
such to get all that setup and then find out you cant even filter out the items you want
they should all just show up from the start
lol
9 times out of 10 errors are user generated. May the odds be ever in your favour.
We reloaded again and it's back so I have no idea what's going on but its back so it's back
potential spoilers in a sense (I know people here complain about progression spoilers, but at least the game itself could keep it under wraps - the discovery aspect is amazing)
they should imo have a fairly blunt solution that any item you can craft or hold in your inventory gets added to the list, which just gets stored as an array in the save file
I should note that signs already spoil everything there is though
lmao
Back to the.. Computer programs sometimes works in mysterious ways
But glad its back, have at it 💪
if they wanna gate stuff, maybe it should unlock based on whether you've ever held the item in your inv or not
I always wonder how are these checks implemented performance wise
it would be silly to check that every single time an item is picked up, but is there another way?
especially achievements, is the game checking every frame that your velocity is over 1400 or that you collided with a bean?
collided with a bean could very well be tied to the bounce or something it already checks for
the physics system could be separated from "regular" game logic
but you could be right
yeah I work on web software not games so I'm not really sure how that would get broken out but I'd assume you wouldn't want 2 different observers or whatever for that
my next objective is to automate computers and high speed connectors
computers can be such a pain
get good alts and they aren't that bad
I'm sure you'll do great, for some reason they hurt my brain lol
I also need tro rechck the recipe list, it's been a while
i was thinking electrode circuit board into caterium coputer maybe
Why electrode???
I like that electrode circuit board recipe, oil computers are fun
Especially with Cat Comp
making rubber already mightaswell go overboard with like the residual recipes
good thing the map has plenty of oil 😄
out of like one normal oil node you can power 90 turbofuel generators, i find that incredible
takes a bit of work but i never had to worry abt power again
yeah unless you're getting really sweaty with your item production goals you're never going to use all the resources so you can pick recipes just for fun
yeah i just did a coal less heavy modular frame
makes 10 with 1800 ingots
3 normal nodes
i think i could stretch it to 15 if didnt make 40 modular frames
I don't have Electrode, but I do have Silicon Circuit, which is fine. The real problem is the computers. Regular or Cat, it would be a huge project for me to make a permanent computer factory and spply buildinds
i mean get like 10/min and you're set for a bit
there's a crystal version for computers if you want to keep it all similar but I think all the computer/circuit board recipe clusters are pretty nice
yeah i was looking at that
i don't have the crystal oscillator alt recipe is it any good?
Ya, I'm ok with circuits in either of these scenarios
I need to do another HD run soon too
they are so slow to process man
looking at High Speed Connector I'm pretty sure I could add that beside the computer factory
ok, you convinced me 😛 I'll add some power and do a computer campus with side factories
lol
there is a silica alternative for that one too
Points * #1201555265942724758
doesnt it take awhile for people to respond there?
i was checking some stuff and i only have the normal silica recipe
aight, i'm out, see ya'll later
Hmm
made a 8:50 train cause why not
yo quick question, how much computers should i make realistically i still gota complete phase 3
do i do compacted steel cause 360 foundries sounds like major piss and i have a shit ton of iron around
one the other hand, if you use the pure recipes refineries look cool as hell
I went with compacted steel because my rocket fuel power station outputs enough compacted coal byproduct to make 4800 steel ingots.
there is no pure steel
Solid Steel Ingot is still the "best" steel recipe right?
i'll do compacted steel for that reason, have an input for compacted coal when i set up fuel plant (doing AGS)
AGS ?
i think by like 0,2x
compacted steel is 5:10 for iron:steel, solid steel is 6.6666:10
advanced game settings AKA creative mode
Ahh that, I don't use it personally, tbh I keep forgetting it even exists.
i use it cause it's basically just lategame story mode -200 hours of gameplay lag
#screenshots message - opinions? I feel like this sucks cause both of these would work well together
do steeled frame
I gotta up my steel pipe production a bit, only producing like 120/min right now and with the amount of alternates I'm getting, I'm gonna need more
For steel, sure. But thanks to iron pipe, you can almost entirely skip making steel
my game is always crashing after a few mins. can i see logs somewhere
Is that if you're just wanting to conserve power?
Iron pipe makes steel pipes out of iron ingots. With a few other alts that use pipes instead of beams or w/e, you can make a lot of steel related stuff without actually making any steel ingots.
Idk how it works out power-wise, but not having to gather coal/oil for steel is often nice. Sure, it takes a lot of extra iron in exchange, but if the extra iron is easier to get than coal, I usually just skip steel.
Solid steel used to be really important because it's the cheapest way to make steel and steel was used a lot, but now it lost a lot of its importance thanks to iron pipe allowing you to bypass making steel entirely
Iron pipes are so good
I’ve managed to only use 5 coal nodes in my entire game
With iron pipes

On Windows
Open File Explorer.
Paste %LOCALAPPDATA%\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames into the address bar and press Enter.
This will take you to the main save directory, where you'll find folders named with your Steam or Epic Games ID. Your save files are located within these ID folders.
