[zenith fractal]

the only limiting factor are spheres

[unreal plover]

thank you bananamanhasaplan

[peak wasp]

So with train networks how would I stop trains from hitting each other

[feral geyser]

No, no need to glitch, but the terrain is gonna dictate more than anything

[versed mesa]

@feral geyser I was going to start building it at my starting location but seams like I can't and will need to build from oil factory because thats where plastic is at and I need it to buit train ect

[dense violet]

Sure but trains and trucks have different use cases

[feral geyser]

Or you can build spirals up and make your train network elevated and avoid terrain.

[dense violet]

Signals

[unreal plover]

How high would you guys recomend doing trains?

[zenith fractal]

ssignals

[peak wasp]

Oh? So once you put down a train signal it knows not to hit another train?

[zenith fractal]

trains are my lifeblood, I love trains.

[versed mesa]

Thats what I plan on doing build up from height using foundation

[zenith fractal]

I do not want to use long range conveyor belts

[dense violet]

You can get away with a couple wall heights if you plan around terrain

[dense violet]

Well it creates blocks, and trains won’t go into an occupied block

[peak wasp]

Ah okay

[zenith fractal]

but yeah trains height is mostly around terrain

[tacit trellis]

💀 I got the sky train

[peak wasp]

So you can put signals near turns so a train won't turn into stuff

So...uh does my network look bad?

[dense violet]

If you’re gonna ignore the environment just get a mod that flattens the world

[tacit trellis]

Tbf I had to go over the ocean and the void

[cunning siren]

What dictates that something is "floating" a few columns of something that appear to hold it up? 🤔

Does that mean it's not?

[dense violet]

Somewhat realistic support would declassify it I guess?

I’d accept somewhat scifi level of support

Saw someone do ‘anti grav’ supports and that was pretty neat, but was close to the ground still

Still had to interact and manage the terrain

GW?

[atomic notch]

Gw is 1000 mw

[reef basin]

same as 1GB is 1000MB 🙂

[peak wasp]

Ah non because this is being used to power a trucking empire

[stone python]

no, 1GW is 1000MW

[atomic notch]

Thats what i said

[stone python]

no, you said Gw = 1000mw, which is incorrect

[reef basin]

m is mili, M is mega

[cursive phoenix]

Okey, thanks :)

[stone python]

proper notation is important

[atomic notch]

Its the internet tho like none of this is real or matters

[stone python]

it does though, because the game doesnt use micro (whatever w is). it used MegaWatts

[atomic notch]

Yeah but with the context you could tell what i mean

[stone python]

i couldn't. because you didnt use the proper notation. I was confused

[atomic notch]

Well thats ur fault then

Dont be confused

[stone python]

nope, your fault for improper notation 🙂

[atomic notch]

Whatever lol

Ima still improper notate everything

[feral geyser]

Context matters, and nothing in this game uses micro-watts, so it kinda is your fault. Language is imperfect, even though we have very precise words, so the best users are able to adapt.

[stone python]

no such thing as "adapting" established scientific units used the world over, so...no

since it has deviated a bit from the game, i will only respond if the conversation continuies in off topic. Dont wana get my hand slapped by the mods, or clog general, especially since im being a bit pedantic

[dull flare]

if u say mw gw or tw everyone that has played the game for more than 3h will know what u mean why would we waste time on capitalising 2 letters in a sentence

this is a discord server not a research paper

[stone python]

anyone working on any cool projects

[feral geyser]

How do we we feel about using kL/min instead of m³/min for fluids?

[dull flare]

although

maybe kL/s is more appropriate

u know sticking to the base units more

[feral geyser]

I just like it cuz I don't need a superscript.

[zenith fractal]

notation doesn't matter, what matters is weither or not you're efficient

[cunning siren]

TIL how to make double wall outlets into double floor outlets! 🤔 I think thats pretty cool

[reef basin]

that's... not the bus I'm talking about?

[tacit trellis]

[reef basin]

again, that's not the kind of a bus we're talking about

[tacit trellis]

(I'm joking please)

[reef basin]

please don't

[tacit trellis]

:(

No jokes allowed here

Only a commie would use a bus use a manifold instead like a true capitalist trickle down economics major

[shy mulch]

I don't like running my factory like a dictatorship. People who use belts offer no choice to their items where they want to go. Let items have free choice. Iron rods want to go into a blender with some liquified uranium? Carry on. A battalion of screws choose to roam the swamp and befriend the spiders? That's their right!

[tacit trellis]

My items have the illusion of choice of picking which exit of the manifold they take

[feral geyser]

Are balancers more egalitarian?

[shy mulch]

How very modern of you

[shy mulch]

If you use balancers you're basically Kim Jong Un

[reef basin]

you can have manifolds and/or balancers in your bus

(just no idea why would you want a bus in the first place)

[feral geyser]

(Ah ah ah)

[reef basin]

not really tbh

[shy mulch]

Subjective 😎

[cunning siren]

Factory Facts:
Belts go brrr, anything but a bus is sus,
It rhymes so it must be true, no fuss!

[shy mulch]

Below my main factory I have 5 train stations that accept stuff from all over the world, 26 different items, that get fed through a megasorter that involves hundreds of smart splitters before feeding into the logistics floor. The factory is over 1km long so some of the belts are pretty long. I could have made 26 train stations, but I enjoy watching the sorter and seeing all the stuff shuffle around. It's well designed so the train stations are the bottleneck

[cunning siren]

That sounds cool, video when?

[shy mulch]

When it's finished 😛

I was trying to make it look nice as I go along, but I'm getting impatient and want to get the functionality completed. I reckon it'll be functionally complete by end of this week then I'll get back on to making it look good

The goal of the factory is to sink 25/min ballistic warp drives

cartograph https://ficsit.app/mod/Cartograph (download the mod manager and search for it there, it's completely vanilla friendly and works with steam automatically)

[warped sorrel]

oh

[shy mulch]

I thought that was a SCIM screenshot 🤦

[warped sorrel]

hope that add to game 🙏

[fresh copper]

only mod i use, it's nice not to have to run around the world to look over my production lines

[fresh copper]

ah console player?

[warped sorrel]

nah

i dont like to use mod manager

[fresh copper]

fair enough

im very against myself using any gameplay mods before i beat a game, but i like cartograph a lot

[warped sorrel]

but that mod is awesome

[dull flare]

i want to get a in game calculator mod

alt tabbing is starting to get annoying

but i’m too lazy to get the mod manager and set it up

its lowk the simplest mod manager ive ever used

it automatically detects your steam installation

[warped sorrel]

maybe you should start to make notes irl

[fresh copper]

and it works when launching from steam

i do

oh

i optimized my oil production byproducts on paper during church today lmao

You can type into in game notes

But like at that point just alt tab to your notes on your side screen

i didnt use calcs for like 160 hours (across 4 saves), but my copper factory was going to shit so i just used it for a really simple thing and its like. bruh how did i mess this up so bad

freak i need to sleep

[tacit trellis]

Imma be fr I'm honestly tempted to just have an excel table open on the side while I play this atp

I just use a calculator and notes, excel would definitively help but I use it too much for work already

(also libreoffice calc is better)

[dull flare]

my aluminum setup is such a mess

[tacit trellis]

Yeah but excel is a calculator and notes all in one

[dull flare]

i need a calculator for it

[gusty temple]

Yeah ik
Excel would definitively help but I use it too much for work already
As was aforementioned :p

[dull flare]

i thought it would be a good idea to make everything from t7 and 8 except nuclear stuff in 1 place

including project parts

[shy mulch]

I usually have excel and wiki and discord on my 2nd monitor while playing

[tacit trellis]

💀 the pipes do that?

#screenshots message bruh I kinda regret making this shit a double layer thing now when i gotta upgrade it

[bronze oriole]

I had like 6 pipes with 200m each all mk 1 and he was like 3mk 2 pipes are better I spend 3 h checking every segment

[gusty temple]

Jesus x)

[bronze oriole]

In dedicated servers at least

[tacit trellis]

Oh thank god

[gusty temple]

There isn't any difference between a "dedicated server" and a regular game, the difference is only which machine is the server

If it's a machine dedicated to that (or a container or smth, realistically) it's a dedicated server

[bronze oriole]

Or sometimes I set up smart splitters with an mk 2 output to regulate flow and they go like oh that's not mk 5 conveyer and my factory starts pausing

[shy mulch]

There's only one place in my world where I use lower than max belts
I have a small factory that outputs 3 lines of 1080 concrete and I want to load it onto 4 train platforms, so need to balance it 3:4
On each line of 1080 I put a smart splitter, with "all" going to a mk3 belt (270/min) and "overflow" going into a train platform, so the overflow is 810
Then the 3 mk3 belts of 270 each I merge into 1 to make a 4th line of 810 to go into the 4th platform

[bronze oriole]

Well u could split the 2nd one into 4 and the other 2 into 2

[shy mulch]

That seems like it would be slightly more complex

[bronze oriole]

Don't think so at least

[shy mulch]

That way would need 5 splitters and 5 mergers
My way needs 3 smart splitters and 1 merger

[bronze oriole]

U need 5 splitters and no merger

U can merge into the station

[shy mulch]

Aha good point

Still feels a bit more complex to me, I like the way I did it 🙂

[tacit trellis]

omfg man retrofitting old setups make my brain hurt

[versed mesa]

Is it really thanks

[mortal ginkgo]

Morning brothermen, a question if I may, how much power an Assembler cost when its fully Overclocked and Slooped?

[versed mesa]

Omg its going to take me for ever to build this train line

[gusty temple]

Why ask when you could just use a sloop and 3 slugs to check ?

[mortal ginkgo]

Have you ever considered the fact that maybe I can't, do it in this save?

[gusty temple]

IIRC it's something like 5 times the default power but I don't think anyone here learns exact power math by rote memory

[mortal ginkgo]

you think a few stuff wrong in this life but its alright

some people simply knows.

[versed mesa]

Is there by any chance there a junction train line so you can either choose to goo straight or go around to the right at all ?

[gusty temple]

I think a few stuff wrong ? x)

[mortal ginkgo]

you thought, I could use somersloop, you were wrong.
you thought anyone learns (?), I assume you meant "knows" but there might always be someone who slooped recently an assembler
you were also wrong about the power usage

I mean, if you dont got anything constructive to say, there is reddit 😛

[bronze oriole]

I only use sloops for power shards and alien protein

[mortal ginkgo]

Yeah its reasonable. I got this odd idea to try mixing coal with sulfer to power coal gens at start of game to see if it would be worth it

[gusty temple]

I hate using coal so I tend to use a few to multiply HogPower (carcass to protein to biomass to solid biofuel), you can end up getting up to 30 minutes of factory running time per hog it's fun

[mortal ginkgo]

there is a Sulfur node closeby to Coal in Rocky Desert so

[bronze oriole]

I have like 24 coal gens and then I am at oil power

[versed mesa]

Thb I really thought the locomotive was going to run with fuel

[mortal ginkgo]

My hatred for coal gen's look and size prevents me from "just use more coal bro"

[gusty temple]

I avoid it entirely and switch from biomass to liquid fuel directly

It's just a PITA to setup lol

[tacit trellis]

Ok gang do i just redo my main factory to add plastics and more materials or do i keep trying to retrofit it

[gusty temple]

Redo

[mortal ginkgo]

why redo the factory while you can make plastic etc where oil is and send it to main factory?

are you DOMB?!

[tacit trellis]

Floorspace issues

[mortal ginkgo]

Madness brotherman.

[tacit trellis]

It's already trained to the main factory

[gusty temple]

I didn't mean know, I meant learn, and given I was right it's a bit silly to say I don't have anything constructive to say x)

[bronze oriole]

Takes like 5 min to set up 16 at certain spots but then again I have built them a lot because friends start playing we reach phase 3 they give up because manufacturers are a bit rough when you are new to the tame

[versed mesa]

Fir yous that have built train tracks and that how many week did it take yous to get from A to B lol

[shy mulch]

Depends massively on how much you utilise blueprints. For me my global rail network that does a full lap of the world took me about 40 hours

[mortal ginkgo]

This game indeed has its odd moments of "doing a setup for 500 hours to automate something for 1 hour"

[gusty temple]

Jesus
I never do a full global line at once, I make portions at a time to reach wherever I need
No clue how much time I spent on rail overall

[versed mesa]

Hold on now what you doo with blueprints exactly lol

[bronze oriole]

Train tracks hate auto connections in BP mode sometimes

[tacit trellis]

for like a relatively short A to B and back it was like an hour

Mostly because it wasn't that short but like a single line isn't too bad

[versed mesa]

A is ocean B is grasslands

[tacit trellis]

If you want to cheat just build into the sky and zoop across

[shy mulch]

anything that is repeatable, is generally a lot faster if you blueprint it

[versed mesa]

@shy mulch thats one one ot the things ive not messed with yet

[hollow quarry]

is the alternative recipe for reinforced iron plate work it? it requires more screws per plate, but it makes them faster
(Bolted iron plate)

[versed mesa]

So you advise me to blueprint and nit do things normal way ?

[bronze oriole]

What u haven't made a blueprint for every item in the game with the like minute rate for every input and power consumption

[mortal ginkgo]

why is blueprinting "not normal" to you?

[versed mesa]

@shy mulch are we able to make a T or A junction by any chance?

[shy mulch]

you have to judge it yourself, rule of thumb I go by is if I create the same set of buildings or layout more than 3 or 4 times, then it's worth putting in a blueprint

[versed mesa]

Because ive not used the blueprint designer yet

[mortal ginkgo]

You should! Its fun and kinky

[versed mesa]

So me not using that yet I call this normal mode lol

[bronze oriole]

Or if your spatial awareness is as bad as mine and you have to move them repeatedly to make it look organized

[shy mulch]

basic manifolds, with 3 or 4 buildings or whatever you can fit in a blueprint, with all the splitters/mergers, belts and power lines already in place, saves a lot of time. something that would normally take 2-3 minutes now takes 2-3 seconds, if you're doing it 50 times that makes a huge difference to your life

[safe heron]

Just found out I can place a closed blueprint directly under a power slug, pick it up. Enemies can't hit through the glass but you can.

[gusty temple]

Most alternative recipes are worth it (though just fyi there's often multiple per item)
This one's pretty good for power usage/speed, and for iron efficiency iirc

[mortal ginkgo]

Noooo let them hit you!

[safe heron]

got two blueprints, one open at the top for trees, one closed for slugs at the ground.

[versed mesa]

Wiw sounds cool thanks

[bronze oriole]

Use your persuasion stick to haggle with them

[mortal ginkgo]

I told bro to not do it, and he went yolo for explaining in detail 😭

[safe heron]

Sometimes their head glitches through the glass, still can't hit you but you can use any gun.

[versed mesa]

Am coming off for rest now

[safe heron]

gonna try if I can shoot through conveyor holes to improve the shelter.

[hollow quarry]

it uses more iron then the standerd recipe per plate, normal takes 6 iron plates, and 12 screws for 1 (or 18 plates and 36 screws), alt takes 18 iron plates and 50 screws for 3, so it uses more screws

[gusty temple]

Only if you're directly making screws from rods, but even then it's still worth it for the speed imo

Though screws are a bit of a pain early game

[bronze oriole]

If you stack blueprints try to place an Anker point at the top so the game doesn't place them .1-.9 platforms higher then normally I usually place pillers or walls so I can stack them if I need to

[hollow quarry]

i have gotten 2 alt recipes, 1 being the 5 iron bars to screws and the other the reinforced iron bolt XD

[tacit trellis]

Can you give an visual example of an anchor point?

[bronze oriole]

In the outside srry

[versed mesa]

Alright

[versed mesa]

Yes please lol

[gusty temple]

Wait nvm I'm an idiot
Yeah nah it's always slightly more costly, I was remembering another recipe
It's still better for the speed though since it's not like you'll run out of iron anytime soon

[bronze oriole]

But a puller/wall so it's 12 m instead of whatever is the highest point in the bp

[hollow quarry]

true

[gusty temple]

Hopefully that true is for the last sentence, not the first 🥲

[safe heron]

btw, why is the whole game so dusty and dirty? I just placed a new Explorer on my white foundation and instantly dirty wheels?

[bronze oriole]

U didn't use rubber for the wheels :(

[mortal ginkgo]

lorewise, Explorers are for exploring.

so when they explore they get dirty

so its ok to have them dirty even before exploring

[gusty temple]

It hadn't explored though

[bronze oriole]

He used normal concrete instead of wet concrete ;)

[shy mulch]

I use rubber concrete 😛

[bronze oriole]

Why

I use my rubber to make plastic in most cases

[cunning siren]

SO, is one of your screenshots a location where everything is shipped to so it can be sunk in one spot? 🤔

[safe heron]

Well I use rubber in a way true Satisfactory players will never understand.

||for the sink, dunno what you thought about.||

[shy mulch]

No, I'm only sinking ballistic warp drives, and things that need sunk to prevent lockups

Those things that are all fed into one place are things needed to produce the BWD

[bronze oriole]

I sink everything that I have to much of or is causing an issue in my factory if not regulated just put a smart splitter before the final storage

[gusty temple]

I sink cause immobile conveyor belts look ugly lmao

[bronze oriole]

Then it's not regulated properly ;)

[gusty temple]

Ik
But I play with people and unfortunately "regulate your conveyor belts better 🤓" Isn't something they're receptive to, somehow

[bronze oriole]

it´s also a great way to make your friends go insane if you are a perfectionist

[rustic pier]

Thats usually my goto when i get clogged up from excessive basic parts

[gusty temple]

Yeah, I mostly just try to avoid clogs of finished products for a given factory, with the new cloud storage stuff you can make seamless storage for like, nails

[bronze oriole]

i have 240 iron i will use 240 iron to perfectly build this factory do i need 50 reinforced plates per minute not really but i have them is what i usually go for kinda

[leaden turret]

"treachery of images" uses "une" 😛

[gusty temple]

Yes, cause a pipe isn't an adverb ^^

[bronze oriole]

treachery is a women

[leaden turret]

also highlighting any issues with the french translation by poorly translating a pun into french is part of the joke

I know, but I'll still correct it in case anyone learning french is reading ^^

[honest ridge]

are ziplines just slow or can you make them faster

[bronze oriole]

you can slide jump on them

[gusty temple]

They're arguably the fastest way to travel (without exploits)

Just make sure you're not going up the entire travel

[bronze oriole]

well i do love my parachute exploit to climb mountains

[leaden turret]

I have a fuzzy memory of there being a go-faster button

[honest ridge]

u know what it is?

[leaden turret]

something button-shaped

best way to travel in plains is bunny hoping =)
and parachute is nice if there is a step incline on a mountain you can just fly upwards

Whats the difference with all blueprint designers MKs ?

[leaden turret]

some are bigger, some are smaller

[leaden turret]

best way to climb stairs in satisfactory: use a parachute

[leaden turret]

@obsidian zodiac would a mk.0 be 3x3 or 1x1?

[bronze oriole]

there is no mk 0

sadly

mk 0 is building everything by hand i guess

[obsidian zodiac]

theoretically if there were a mk 0 itd be the space the pioneer occupies

[gusty temple]

Having accesses to the latter ones let you make larger blueprints (though afaik a lot of people directly import the blueprint files)

[obsidian zodiac]

so depending on your lunch that day i guess

[leaden turret]

company directive on resource exploitation suggests "the space the pioneer occupies" would mean mk.0 is continent-sized

[leaden turret]

people kept asking for bigger ones https://archive.satisfactory.video/search/?q=bigger&df=2017-08-01&dt=2025-06-17&t=features%2Fbuildings%2Fblueprint-designer&s=d&o=0&f=1&a=1

[versed mesa]

Or wow let's say you could do like mile long blueprint in one

[bronze oriole]

just let me ctrl+c into ctrl+v my entire production

[leaden turret]

@obsidian zodiac entire game is mk.0 blueprint designer, save files are blueprint files? 😛

[versed mesa]

Ill look at that in a moment am looking at some videos of people using the designer to get a good idea

[gusty temple]

There's probably some limit

[bronze oriole]

just add a research tree where you can research higher bp designers but the cost scales exponetionally

[leaden turret]

can't do a mile-long blueprint.

ficsit uses metric

[versed mesa]

Yeah of course 1 mile is just clise guessing reference

[bronze oriole]

maybe u are a giant and it uses miles

[green fiber]

Counterpoint:

Its called Milestone and not Kilometerstone

[versed mesa]

Like 1000 u blueprint i mean

Or 2000u

[bronze oriole]

we know just joking arround

[leaden turret]

ficsit does not waste
-# time measuring distances with stones, we have lasers now

[versed mesa]

I am just using Mile for example lmfao

Next time ill say 8 Mile

[toxic lantern]

hey peeps im split 50/50.
This is my second playthrough, Im low-mid game (just got a jetpack). I kinda wanna start over in the desert should i keep going or reset?

[leaden turret]

knees weak, belt's spaghetti

[versed mesa]

As in the film of course lmfao

[bronze oriole]

you can just move to the dessert

[versed mesa]

Its cool track that one that he made and the Venom one is cool also

[toxic lantern]

yeah i kinda wanna start over though... new save

[honest ridge]

are oscilators like the only thing quartz is needed for early game

[bronze oriole]

feels like you reached phase 3 and now everything is 10x more complicated
but if you wanna reset go for it we won´t hold you back

[bronze oriole]

yes if you ignore the bladerunners

[honest ridge]

yeah i mean i dont need them automated so

[bronze oriole]

you can´t automate oscillerators early game because u need manufacturers

[honest ridge]

oh when does early game end them

[bronze oriole]

and just steal them from dropships early game there are like 300 scattered arround

early game is till phase 2 then phase 3 is midgame and afterwards it´s torture/endgame

oh you want space elevator part build 300 mashines to make 3 per minute

[versed mesa]

So in the locations of Geysers what sort of factory do yous have here tbh ive got no clue what to build here

[reef basin]

depends on every player's definition, there's no official indicator

[bronze oriole]

what ressources are availible

[versed mesa]

If no one knows Geyers are deposit that create free electricity you just place down 1 Geo generator to receive electric

[true mulch]

nothing official, but I personally consider 0-3 earlygame, 4-6 midgame, 7-9 lategame

[honest ridge]

oh i just guessed 1-3 early 4-6 mid and 7-9 late

oh yeah right

[leaden turret]

running joke is everything up until the last space elevator part is early game

[true mulch]

that too

[versed mesa]

Is this question for ne ?

[true mulch]

we still think of you, Sevrahn

[bronze oriole]

i mean you worded your question strange so i don´t know if you mean a spezific location or just geysirs in general

[honest ridge]

i just got 60/min quartz going into a crystal constructor and the overflow to silica

just trying to get the explorer ngl

[versed mesa]

This pure Geyser is in a middle of a lake

[bronze oriole]

ok

just built a geothermal generaor and like 20 power storages i guess

[leaden turret]

kilomegawatts

[bronze oriole]

giga mega watt

[versed mesa]

And there is couple more or so within a distance

[leaden turret]

sounds like a clickbait title for a photo of some old dude in a boat on a lake

[true mulch]

micropetawatts

[bronze oriole]

i mean if you wanna harness their power just built the generator and some power storages and that´s about it

[versed mesa]

Lmfao

[strange vigil]

anyone know of any bugs concerning conveyor splitter that can be placed on belt lifts? Causing the game to crash?

[versed mesa]

Ok i was wondering what sort of factory dies other people build here

[honest ridge]

what are geysers actually for? just an easy powersetup for a boost?

[bronze oriole]

why would you do that =)

[strange vigil]

Use a feature of splitters? 😮

[bronze oriole]

none i ship everything to where i need it and ignore they geysirs completly

[leaden turret]

ignoring, mostly.

they're "green" energy in a game where the power draw needs of a reasonably-sized production will quickly dwarf the total capacity of all geysers on the map.

[strange vigil]

They are great for when you need power but dont like coal power, so you skp that phase completley

[bronze oriole]

but it looks weird and the converyerbet might be offset by a few pixels

[versed mesa]

Its like away to get power using Geo generator on the Deposit spot and connecting up power storage unit to collect alot more power to help run your factory

[bronze oriole]

you just need computers and heavy modular frames i think

[versed mesa]

Farenought

[strange vigil]

High speed connector, motor, modular frames, copper sheet and wire

[honest ridge]

but they need computers, heavy frames and rubber to research? i would hate to be using biomass for that long

[strange vigil]

quickwire, motor and high speed connectors to research

in MAM

[versed mesa]

Ive got a twin storage unit full up with quickwire now

[hollow quarry]

how do i split 60 into 15 4's? (as in 4 mat input. 15 machines)

[bronze oriole]

i never researched the, after 1.0 but they were pricey to reseach before

3 splitters in into 1/2 and then the 2 to go from 1/2 to 1/4

[hollow quarry]

huh?

[bronze oriole]

a fiveway splitter is 1 into 3 3 into 6 and 1 of the 6 back into a merger before the first splitter

gimme a minute to draw

[versed mesa]

Lately ive been building some constructor ms and assemblers ect to get oth ructions done that I dont have any of so making grassland factory bigger and its all running off of 5 coal generators and can add extra machines because it breaks down lol

[leaden turret]

🤠
👕🫳
👖

[versed mesa]

Am getting better with the game lol

I love connecting things up

Its one of the coolest things todo in this game

[honest ridge]

can i make the powerline thing build with mk2 poles instead of 1

[versed mesa]

Zipline ?

[bronze oriole]

in screenshots @hollow quarry

[gusty temple]

Nah I think they're asking if you can use the automatically-build-poles feature of cables to build mk2 poles
Afaik no

[bronze oriole]

if you start at a mk 2 pole then it will use a mk 2 pole as long as you don´t go on walls otherwise press e to rotate through them

[hollow quarry]

what are thoese double lines?

[honest ridge]

oh that sucks

[bronze oriole]

and you can also put the mk 2 pole on the hotbar

[versed mesa]

How many wires can actually be connected to a switch ?

[bronze oriole]

me only having touchpad on my laptop i have on me

[versed mesa]

@bronze oriole how many hours you got in the game ?

[bronze oriole]

700 or so

[versed mesa]

Wow nice where you at with your factories ?

[bronze oriole]

beat the game 3 times and usually play for fun with friends gave up twice after phase 3 in the beginning

[versed mesa]

Damn lol

[leaden turret]

have still not beaten the game with 4k+ hours 😛

[versed mesa]

@bronze oriole what the total of phases does it go to is it 4 or 5 ?

[bronze oriole]

took like 100h for a run kinda

phase 5 and then they promote you

[versed mesa]

Damn for real how so ?

[leaden turret]

kept restarting 😛

[versed mesa]

What restarting builds lol

[versed mesa]

Damn phase 5 what happens when you get promoted ?

[bronze oriole]

how do you mark as spoiler again

[versed mesa]

@leaden turret I understand you want your factory tidy and nice

[bronze oriole]

wait i have a screenshot somwhere

[versed mesa]

Ok thanks

I dont mind spoilers it just keeps me something to look forward to lol

[leaden turret]

1. determine build strategy
2. deploy build strategy
3. develop new strategies over time
4. when enough new strategies have developed that can't be integrated into current playthrough, restart

[bronze oriole]

step 11 i am the factory and the factory is me

[versed mesa]

Yeah this what I need lmfao

[versed mesa]

Facts lol

[bronze oriole]

step 1 build factory
step 2-10 find a better way to optimize the factory

[versed mesa]

True

[hollow quarry]

in screenshots, like that?

[versed mesa]

Like you always needing to add extra to produce that extra something am think my factory is not big enough and to ho bigger lol

[bronze oriole]

you do that and then u see pure iron/pure copper in the alt recipes and realize you can get more ingots from your ore

[versed mesa]

Who is this for ?

[bronze oriole]

just in general if you start optimizing your factory everytime you can that´s the worst thing at least it was for me

[reef basin]

imo no reason to touch existing factories. Just build new ones if you need more of the thing they are making

[versed mesa]

Woah lol

[bronze oriole]

but i use smeeltries to get a 1/1 conversion instead of a 7/13 or 2/5 you know hw much you lose out there =)#

[reef basin]

nothing, things are infinite

[bronze oriole]

and then there is solid steel you can get more iron ingots from refinieries you you need less iron to get the same ammount of steel

[pliant beacon]

Are the items that drop near the dropods randomised?

[bronze oriole]

no

[versed mesa]

I think people are just different in ways of thinking lol

[reef basin]

why spend time to have one better factory, if I can spend the same time and have new AND keep the other factory

[bronze oriole]

always the same as with the cost to open them

lizzarddoggos are random do

[hollow quarry]

like this #screenshots message ????

[versed mesa]

Your right I guess keeps you busy and more into the game and you improve skills also

[bronze oriole]

just get your turbomotors before building your first factory sink them and unlock all the cool things in the awesome shop

[bronze oriole]

like what

u mean the 5 way split or

[hollow quarry]

yea tecnically 15 but yeah

[bronze oriole]

yes that is right

that would be split into 15

[versed mesa]

I should have a bunch of doggo now but I only see one now and again lol

[reef basin]

why not

--S--S--S--S--S
  |  |  |  |  |

[bronze oriole]

use scim to see them on the map =)

[hollow quarry]

i was SO close to do that, but i would like to take my time on this save, and do things slowly

[bronze oriole]

because manafolds bad stupid waittime =)

[hollow quarry]

worst part is its temp its biomass burners XD

[reef basin]

prefill = no wait time

also by the time you figure out how to build a balancer, the manifold is probably already filled up anyway

[hard ivy]

There's 0 wait time regardless. Nobody's forcing you to stare at a manifold while it's filling up. You can just go do something else

[bronze oriole]

why would you asume i have 4000 copper ore in my inventory

[versed mesa]

Wish we all can be in the same map at the same time while building

[bronze oriole]

i would just steal all the lizaz

[hard ivy]

Unless you're me 💪
I know how to build every balancer

[bronze oriole]

lizzard dogs and call it a day

[versed mesa]

But not everyone is you friend lmao

[bronze oriole]

just make a blueprint for all of them =)

[reef basin]

why though, if I can build a manifold and not care about it?

[versed mesa]

@bronze oriole did you take a pic of promoted by any chance ?

[bronze oriole]

just send you what happends aafter phase 5 and then she talks for lik 10 minutes

[versed mesa]

So we get nothing more after phase 5 ?

[bronze oriole]

no

[hollow quarry]

still in phase 1 getting the smart plates, and just finished automating them (4/m)

[bronze oriole]

stonks

why did you need a 15 way split then

[hollow quarry]

not very well, cause i need 250 screws/m but my belt can only do 120

[bronze oriole]

sorry me stupid

[hollow quarry]

erhmmm,...... biofuel 😛

[hard ivy]

Use 3 belts then

[hollow quarry]

into one machine?

[hard ivy]

What kinda recipe takes 250 screws/min at that stage of the game

[hollow quarry]

alt reinforced plate

250 screws

[bronze oriole]

bolted reinforced plate

[hard ivy]

Why tf would you use that lmao

[hollow quarry]

cause power consumption

[bronze oriole]

i use the normal recipe because you can get 10 reinforced plates with 120 iron ingots

[hard ivy]

You can get more with stitched

[hollow quarry]

dont have it

[sharp mantle]

I've come to realize one miner produces a lot of ore for just one smelter, i was wondering how many smelters equals to one miner?

[hard ivy]

Divide miner's production by the smelter's consumption

[honest ridge]

seeing as you can only research one hard drive at a time, can i scan one then delete the mam?

[sharp mantle]

You mean divide?

[hard ivy]

Yes, and it'll keep scanning

[hard ivy]

Yes lol. Thanks autocorrect

[sharp mantle]

Should i do the same thing for constructors?

[honest ridge]

new question can you cancel hard drives

cos i need to research and dont wna wait 10 mins

man

[bronze oriole]

so mk1 miner on normal is 2 pure is 4 and impure is 1 and if it´s an mk 2 miner its doubled and mk3 minter doubles again but you need the right conveyerbelt aswell

[honest ridge]

should allow cancellable research and hard drive scanning and researching at the same time

[hard ivy]

You should do that for every single production step if you want to use your resources and machines efficiently

[bronze oriole]

any1 remembers before they added the harddrive libary that if you left the mam you could rescan the harddrive if you didn´t like the selection you got so u could spend 2h on a harddrive because bothe recipies were bad

[hard ivy]

Back then it gave you 3 choices

[true mulch]

you couldn't rescan drives before the library was added

[hard ivy]

I rarely got drives that were complete garbage. There almost always was at least 1 moderately useful recipe

[bronze oriole]

if you left the mam during the selection it put the harddrive back into your inventory

[true mulch]

there were some bugs that did that

never was an intended feature

[bronze oriole]

well now if you have 2 bad recipies on a harddrive you just keep them so the rollpool is lower

also never said it was intended it was just a thing you could do

[versed mesa]

I just just select what mite be alright lol

[bronze oriole]

well i have like 20 harddrives in my libary with dead recipies at least for me

[hard ivy]

Yeah, you'll never catch me taking a recipe I'll never use

[versed mesa]

Like earlier I got one for caterium beam lol

[bronze oriole]

caterium beam ??

[versed mesa]

I selected that one lol

[hard ivy]

You mean aluminium?

[bronze oriole]

i think so

[versed mesa]

No Caterium Beam

[bronze oriole]

caterium is only for wire as far as i know

[hard ivy]

There's no caterium beam recipe

[bronze oriole]

press n type steel beam and check in the codex

[versed mesa]

Well it was for something Caterium it was alternative

[hard ivy]

There's caterium wire, cable, circuit board and computer

And caterium Ficsite but that's a default

[versed mesa]

Ah maybe Caterium computer

[bronze oriole]

caterium wire fused wire and another wire with copper

that is a thing

[versed mesa]

But i did get alternative for a beam

[bronze oriole]

alumium or molded

[versed mesa]

Molded beam i think lol

[bronze oriole]

1 with aluminum other steeel and concrete

[versed mesa]

Damn i dont even remember

[bronze oriole]

what you don´t know all the good recipies are you even playing the game =)

[versed mesa]

And i was not playing long my brain sucks theys days

[versed mesa]

What do you mean i dont fully understand this

[bronze oriole]

i was kidding

i just have a really good memory when it comes to stupid things

[versed mesa]

Lmao

[honest ridge]

so the dimenensional depot research tree uses like 100 mercer spheres so how many dimensional depots can u actually make

[bronze oriole]

i sometimes have the void inventory before i have build my first factory because i know which dropships i should go for for the ressources and harddrives to unlock it

[versed mesa]

I can't even think where I want to go with my factory building ive just been placing thus and that down and connecting up and knowing what's what and where its being produced lol

[bronze oriole]

accorrding to wiki there are 298 mercer spheres in total so at least 5

[honest ridge]

id even say 6

[bronze oriole]

cap

[honest ridge]

bolted frame or solid steel btw

[versed mesa]

Whats void inventory?

[hard ivy]

There's 297 spheres on the map iirc

[bronze oriole]

both are ok i go for solid steel because bolted frames takes more ressources

[hard ivy]

So about 200 depots

[hard ivy]

Solid steel 100%

[versed mesa]

Damn

[hard ivy]

Well, I spent 10% of them on concrete 🤣

[tacit trellis]

Bruh tryna set up shit to try and do phase 3 shit feels so daunting

[versed mesa]

Thats nothing wait till phase 4 lol

[bronze oriole]

it´s a seperate inventory which you can access from your inventory to store between 1 and 5 stacks of each item and the upload speed is between 30 and 240 depending on research and you can automate uploading items but download can only be done manually

[versed mesa]

Or yeah I know sorry

[hard ivy]

Yeah, everything in phase 3 is pretty hard the first time you do it

[bronze oriole]

i spend 5h building the factory and 6 h regretting my life coices when i wanted to make everything on the same level

[versed mesa]

Ive just recently researched the inventory uploader

[hard ivy]

All of my factories are 1 floor

[bronze oriole]

who doens´t

[shy mulch]

Beating me there. I only have 17 depots for concrete 😛

[tacit trellis]

💀 i decided to do phase 2 vertically and now i wanna die coz tearing that shit down is gonna be a pita

[versed mesa]

So true then when moving to phase 4 its woah what now lmao

[bronze oriole]

3 on alclad aluminum sheets rn so i can build conveyer glamore if i need to

[shy mulch]

Why tear it down? When you're done with it just leave it there and build future factories somewhere else. The world is huge, you don't need to save space

[bronze oriole]

u need all the parts from phase 2 later again

[tacit trellis]

yeah but moving shit is gonna be a pain

[versed mesa]

This now whats getting me to start build8ng my train and tracks now lol

[bronze oriole]

drones

[hard ivy]

Then don't

[tacit trellis]

Like moving materials

[versed mesa]

Yeah dont

[tacit trellis]

Just set up another base?

[hard ivy]

Build factories near the resources they need

[versed mesa]

You used train for that

[bronze oriole]

i just built the next factory to the sid ocf it and get the raw materials there

[hard ivy]

Everything except nuclear can be done like that

[bronze oriole]

nuclear should be at the hub so when you die you realize your mistake right =)

[versed mesa]

Nice talking guys see yous soon

[shy mulch]

I am trying to work today but the factory is calling my name. I'm convinced I'm gonna end up playing quite soon 😒

[versed mesa]

Lol

[tacit trellis]

aw fuck i gotta sleep to go to work soon

[bronze oriole]

but remember any work done by extra limbs due to radiation is not worth extra pay =)

[slender quest]

Yea better sleep now to feel better later.

[stiff bane]

will 2 APA's give a 20% boost to the grid?

[bronze oriole]

never use them so maybe

[slender quest]

Also first you gonna acquire those few mutations that give you extra limb.
Instead of gazillion others that lead to a minor insignificant case of death.

[slender quest]

They will.

[stiff bane]

thats great

[bronze oriole]

well just quoting ada here

[stiff bane]

thank you

[slender quest]

Oh right.

[hard ivy]

Yeah, they add up, not multiply unfortunately

[shy mulch]

Yes, you get 10% boost from each one
Plus if you feed it alien power matrix the boost turns into 30%
I have 4 APA all fed with matrices and get 120% boost

[bronze oriole]

the docter said you should keep making contact to these dangerous looking artifacts the doctor would have told you so himself but he suddenly lost connection

[cunning glade]

Where's a good spot with alot of cat for computers

[bronze oriole]

why u need caterium

[cunning glade]

Unless I'm missing something they need quick wire

[shy mulch]

for lots of things

[slender quest]

Better check interactive map if your build is gonna be more than 100 machines.

[bronze oriole]

just use the electrode circuit board and get 10 circuit board for 60 crude oil =)

[hard ivy]

I wouldn't want to make comps without cat

[hard ivy]

That's expensive af, you know

[cunning glade]

Ewww

That recipe is yucky

[bronze oriole]

what you using the oild for =)

[hard ivy]

I usually use the eastern end of the canyon

[cunning glade]

Currently a 27gw power plant it ain't much but it's something

[slender quest]

I tried desert btw, eastern shore, but my needs were much smaller.

[bronze oriole]

1 pure oil node makes 80000Mw and after that you are fine for a long time

[pastel pulsar]

any way to remove trinkets from build gun?

[shy mulch]

If I had a bunch of petroleum coke and rubber byproducts lying around, putting them into circuit boards seems a good use of them. But I can't imagine why you'd go out of your way to set it up to intentionally use that recipe

[cunning glade]

And I have plastic and rubber automated and hooked into global train network

[hard ivy]

Without additional resources it only makes 20 GW

[slender quest]

Only HUB lockers selection options unless you find a mod.

[bronze oriole]

well i think of rocket fuel close to the swamp becuase everything is there

[pastel pulsar]

i guess i can't then

[bronze oriole]

and once you have access to fuel it is a wast e to not go for turbo/ rocket fuel

[shy mulch]

I did my nuclear at the swamp and rocket fuel at the spire coast

[hard ivy]

I'm not doing rocket fuel this run. I'm going straight from fuel to 2.5 TW of nuclear + 4x augment lol

[bronze oriole]

i use nuclear rods to fuel my drones =)

no waste management required =)

[twilit tinsel]

Holy that's a lot

[bronze oriole]

i could be nitpicking and saying that water is an external ressource if you think about it =)

[shy mulch]

Exactly opposite to me. I'm itching to finish my megafactory so I can start a new run, my next playthrough I'm going to use biofuel ONLY

[bronze oriole]

next run no miners only lizzard doggos =)

[shy mulch]

haha I'd love to do that if it was possible, but there are some things you can't get from doggos that are required

[bronze oriole]

like

you get screws wire copper sheets iron rods and iron plates aswell as concrete and steel produce

[hard ivy]

Pretty sure you wouldn't be able to make anything Ficsite

[bronze oriole]

and the rest you can buy after scrapping the 60k turbommotors you will have before reaching phase 2

[shy mulch]

copper powder

[bronze oriole]

buy it with tickets =)

worst advice ever

[hard ivy]

You can buy it lmao

Why

[shy mulch]

oh so you can haha, that's ridiculous, but yeah

[hard ivy]

But you can't buy reanimated SAM which sux big time

[bronze oriole]

doggos can give you 1 sam ore at a time

=)

and i mean u have hands just hand mine it =)

or place portable miners just no big miners

[cunning glade]

I'll check there I have a train near it too

[hard ivy]

I thought no mining meant no handmining either

[bronze oriole]

i said no miners

[cunning glade]

I'm gonna train whatever I need over make a decent factory then train them out too where I need

Same with hmf

[bronze oriole]

satsisfactory lizzardoggo any% speedrun when =)

[cunning glade]

Whenever u do it

[bronze oriole]

true

[cunning glade]

The only issue is idk how many computers too make

[bronze oriole]

just make a few more than you need so u have spares when you need them and scrrap the rest

[hard ivy]

I'm making 15 but that's probably way overkill just for personal use

[bronze oriole]

kinda

[cunning glade]

I'll prolly target that we will see

Each manufacturer makes 3.75 a min so

[bronze oriole]

i mean u gonna need them for supercomputers and other things later on

[hard ivy]

When that time comes, you make more

Never automate shit in advance

[shrewd hearth]

When will console prices be revealed, less then 2 months away

[hard ivy]

I reckon if CSS has anything to say about it, the price will be the same as on PC

[shrewd hearth]

i doubt it will be same as pc, most of the time Console prices are more expensive then pc

[cunning glade]

It'll probs be 30 or 40

I doubt 60

[shrewd hearth]

i was assuming 50 idk though just a feeling

[hard ivy]

It's 40 USD on PC already. It def won't be 30

[gusty temple]

That's cause the console business model is to underpay for the hardware but massively overpay for the software
It'll likely be more expensive than the steam release yeah

[shrewd hearth]

Most likely in the 50-55 range i would assume, will just have to wait and see. At least it wont be like the 90/100 standard prices, they are just too insane

[cunning glade]

So is cat needed for anything else down the line besides computers

Like if I use this big node of cat will I be making a mistake ig

[hard ivy]

There's plenty of other nodes

[cunning glade]

Cuz there's 1 pure 2 normal

Ight

[hard ivy]

It's used for 1 nuclear alt and one recipe for Ficsite

And that's it iirc

[cunning glade]

Spoilers but neat

[hard ivy]

And iodine filters lol

[limpid cairn]

Im Making 11.25 and its enough for now (tier 9)

[cunning glade]

Hmmm

What does purity temp mean?

[limpid cairn]

No clue but it’s basically not a node so you can ignore it

[cunning glade]

I see

[outer hatch]

In the radio-tower UI? If I recall correctly, that's when there's a group of mixed purity nodes. (Ex, a Pure and Normal side to side.)

[cunning glade]

Makes sense I scanned and there was like 10 coppers nodes on top of each other

Why isn't the music for this game louder

[hard ivy]

Make it louder in the settings

[cunning glade]

It is

Everything else is at like 30 with it at 100

It's decent but like for such a nice soundtrack I wish I could hear it

[hard ivy]

Then turn everything down more and turn up your entire PC

Or buy the soundtrack on steam

[gusty temple]

Or turn up the app volume in your OS' settings

[cunning glade]

I've just turned my amp up more

[limpid cairn]

Why aren’t you playing lemichael on your boombox?

[cunning glade]

I placed it somewhere haven't grabbed it

[limpid cairn]

Why isn’t it in your dd

and why do you only have 1?🤔

[hard ivy]

I don't even have 1

[cunning glade]

It's on YouTube music it seems

I don't like the steam soundtracks

I have it for risk never listen too it

Even tho risk of rain 2 has fire music

[limpid cairn]

[cunning glade]

What dd🤣

[hard ivy]

I barely ever listen to them either but I've bought them whenever I felt like giving the devs more money

[limpid cairn]

Dimensional depot

[cunning glade]

No ik what it is

I just haven't really made one lol

[limpid cairn]

You can upgrade your inventory to have a dd in your inventory

[cunning glade]

Ig the side thing but meh

[limpid cairn]

I usually drag everything I don’t need rn in there

[cunning glade]

Ye I have that

[limpid cairn]

Why isn’t it in there ?

[cunning glade]

Pretty sure I didn't have it when I unlocked it 🤷 don't really care for it

Prefer the coffee cup out idk if u need it out or just in hot bar

[limpid cairn]

I have 4 coffee cups in my dd and 1 in my inventory for emergencies

[rigid mist]

Just did the math
I need 1260 ISC to store 200 hrs worth of nuclear waste

[limpid cairn]

-# ficsodium

[rigid mist]

Yeah but I gotta built that after the nuclear plant
Which means the nuclear plant will be running while ficsonium isn’t

[hard ivy]

That's literally max nuclear without waste processing. Why are you doing that

[cunning glade]

Since the input of the 4 manufacturers is less than 480 I could do a sushi belt right?

[rigid mist]

I’ll build waste processing after I just wanna see results for now

[limpid cairn]

Dont join the dark side

[rigid mist]

Please seek assistance

[hard ivy]

Theoretically

[cunning glade]

What's wrong with a sushi belt?

[covert sphinx]

sushi belts are never worth it

[cunning glade]

Why it save me space

And is under 480

[covert sphinx]

it’s not worth it

[cunning glade]

How

[covert sphinx]

ITS NOT WORTH ITTTTTTTTT

[rigid mist]

Dead locks

[cunning glade]

Yeah u just sink at the end?

[hard ivy]

You can fairly easily prevent them

[hard ivy]

Don't even need to. Loop back and merge the overflow

[cunning glade]

I think it'll look nice for it and doing

[limpid cairn]

Everything

[cunning glade]

How

[limpid cairn]

it’s horrible to manage

[shy mulch]

I just calculated it out (roughly) I reckon absolute minimum, assuming luck works perfectly on your side, 3000 hours divided by the number of doggos you tame. So if you tame 20 doggos its technically possible in 150 hours. But exceptionally unlikely

Realistically it could easily be 10x as long

[cunning glade]

This makes it seem even easier too manage

[hard ivy]

Thanks to prio mergers, not anymore

[cunning glade]

I just saw a vid on them and they do seem useful

[hard ivy]

To make sure there are no issues, filter out all the items and prio merge them with their own respective supply lines

[cunning glade]

I see I think

[hard ivy]

And make sure you merge the item types in order of amount. So the one that needs to be supplied the most actually is

[cunning glade]

That's really far ahead still all I've done is place down the 4 manufacturers

[cunning glade]

Is first?

If so I do understand what u meant

[bright tinsel]

If it the inputs are not balanced out, it can later on at some point clog it (even with overflow)
Of course you can just use a sink

[cunning glade]

I'm just gonna sink it at the end

Im gonna have sinks so if my computers overflow they sink

Prolly only need one since 15 a min

[hard ivy]

Like you need more quickwire than any other item so it's first before the machines. So you're merging a sushi belt with the other 2/3 items and a belt of quickwire. So half the belt is quickwire, half the other items

[cunning glade]

Rubber will only be 30 over and quick wire 60 since I'm just gonna do lower tiers there for inputs on to the belt as long as that works

Ik going into the machines they all need too be the same speed

[cunning glade]

Ye that's what I thought

For the inputs onto the sushi belt it can be lower tiers than the belt or no

[hard ivy]

As long as the belt is fast enough and not a bottleneck, it usually doesn't matter if it's higher or lower

[cunning glade]

From what I saw it does matter in terms of splitting from sushi belt into machine

[hard ivy]

Eh, it'll even out in the end

A machine won't take more from the belt than it actually uses

[vale grotto]

Huh. Both the regular computer recipe and the caterium computer can be made with 100% caterium and oil and nothing else

[bright tinsel]

That also means you can never change your input setup ;)

[cunning glade]

Wym?

I just upgrade the belt?

[hollow quarry]

WHAT IS THIS? water extract 120m3/m water and a coal generator takes 45m3/m???? what is this?

[cunning glade]

The fun part of the game get used too it

[hard ivy]

3:8

[sharp mantle]

Is coal-powered generator an upgrade to biomass burner? Or a alternative which is more complicated but generates more power?

[cunning glade]

Also I don't think I'll need more than 15 computers

[vale grotto]

Coal power can be fully automated. Biomass cannot

[cunning glade]

Apparently so

[shy mulch]

3x120 = 360
8x45 = 360
🙂

[gusty temple]

An alternative

[reef basin]

numbers

[hard ivy]

Also, 45 m³/m is 45 m². I don't think that's the unit you were looking for

[gusty temple]

(but a better, fully automatic alternative)

[cursive phoenix]

Can you buy powershards w tickets

[vale grotto]

I don't think I've ever seen anyone finish the game on only biomass lol

[shy mulch]

I'm gonna try!

[cunning glade]

Well chat I'm gonna do a dab and figure out computers wish me luck

[shy mulch]

No

[vale grotto]

Best of luck to you!! xD

[cunning glade]

I'm hyped for a sushi belt cuz I think it'll look cool

[cursive phoenix]

Aw man

[cunning glade]

With mods yes but normally no

[cursive phoenix]

Sad life

[cunning glade]

I have that as I added quantum alt recipes cuz why not

Idk if/when I'll do another playthrough Soo mine aswell see what it do

Okay ouch

Looking at belts at 60fps after 165 fps hurts

[shy mulch]

my coal generators need CCCLX water but I can only get CCC water to run in my pipe, so they end up running at LXXXIII% efficiency, how to fix?

[cunning glade]

Hi tinker

[sullen gull]

The recommendation to watch Alien Earth

[cunning glade]

I figured

I had passed out woken up seen that was so confused

[sullen gull]

Mornin'

[cunning glade]

What episode u on

[shy mulch]

you can automate them eventually

[sullen gull]

Got one more left.

[cunning glade]

Final episode of this season is out tomorrow

[cunning glade]

This next one is fire as fuck

[sullen gull]

Ahh, ok, two more left then lol

[cunning glade]

Well technically 1 since it's not out yet

Ur one away from me so that's what I meant

[hollow quarry]

what are you on about?

[hard ivy]

SI units. Which you have used incorrectly

[cunning glade]

Ur units of measurements

[hollow quarry]

no i haven't

[gusty temple]

He's being pedantic about the difference between 2 and ²

[hollow quarry]

ohh that

[hard ivy]

So 45 cubic metres per meter is correct?

[hollow quarry]

i dont know how

[gusty temple]

Ah nvm he's being pedantic about smth else x)

[hollow quarry]

water is kubic meters (m^3) m2 is surface(cant remember the name) its dimensional, m2 is x y coords so surfaces, and m3 is x y z, so a square

[hollow quarry]

no XD

45 m3 a minute

[hard ivy]

Then that's 45 m³/min

[hollow quarry]

im lazy

[gusty temple]

You can safely ignore 🤓-isms about the way you write units dw x)

[hard ivy]

Time to count items in nanomoles per annum then

[gusty temple]

Have fun with it

[cerulean pine]

hey, im building my first mega factory.
do you guys have any tips on how to make it look clean/nice?

[dapper pollen]

afternoon all

[hard ivy]

Well, that's what you're advocating for 🤷‍♂️

[gusty temple]

I'm not "advocating" dude

[cerulean pine]

im kinda anoyed you can not place symbools ect on walls and half floors

[hollow quarry]

how much is 120m3/min water in nanoseconds and nanomoles?

[dapper pollen]

that much ?

[hard ivy]

Depends on the fluid

[hollow quarry]

what is the conversion?

water

[gusty temple]

I'm not advocating for anything x)

[gusty temple]

60mil nanoseconds to a minute iirc, moles are not used for volume in any kind of practical sense (it's a quantity of molecules, so it depends on the heat, pressure, matter, etc)

[hard ivy]

≈3.6e7 mol/s I think

[limpid cairn]

What the fuck nanomoles
Per annum

[hollow quarry]

didnt know what it was so based it this
(NA-noh-mole) The amount of a substance equal to a billionth of a mole (a measure of the amount of a substance).

[limpid cairn]

isn’t that the chemistry thingy for calculating the atoms in an element ?

[rigid mist]

By this I mean the belt being fully saturated with one item and not distributed

[hard ivy]

1 mole of a substance is 6.022e23 atoms/molecules of that substance

[gusty temple]

Yep, moles are just a specific quantity of tiny-stuff (usually atoms or molecules)

[limpid cairn]

Please tell me I never need that in my life it sounds way to complicated 🙏🙏

[gusty temple]

It's only really relevant if you deal with raw elements and mostly only in a lab really

[hard ivy]

It's mostly chemistry and thermodynamics stuff

[limpid cairn]

Oh no 🙏🙏🙏

[hard ivy]

Dw it's not nearly as bad as quantum chemistry

[limpid cairn]

I though there was only quantum physics

[gusty temple]

Chemistry is part of physics, that's just a subset

[limpid cairn]

Isn’t it more a part of biology?

[gusty temple]

No ? Chemistry is the study of chemical elements
Chemical elements aren't alive, usually

[limpid cairn]

Mhh good point

Idk anything about chemistry I skipped every chemistry class in the first year I had it 😔

[hard ivy]

No, actually, you know what's the most difficult class I've taken? General relativity

[gusty temple]

that's literally just flexing isn't it

[hard ivy]

Barely fkn passed it

[leaden turret]

🇽 🇰 🇨 🇩 4️⃣ 3️⃣ 2️⃣

[gusty temple]

Fair, I don't think it's all that relevant to most careers x)
Comes up surprisingly often in construction though

[leaden turret]

• baking is just science for hungry people
• efficiency is just statistics for factory people

[gusty temple]

Oh yeah and in baking too

[limpid cairn]

Mind if I ask what you studied?
let me guess it’s physics?

[hard ivy]

Nanoengineering

Took general relativity as an elective

Big mistake

[limpid cairn]

I’ve never heard of it but it sounds fun icl

[hard ivy]

Got to work with electron microscopes. It was pretty fun

[simple solstice]

#screenshots Do we know if there's a way to get the junction turned so the exit is pointed upwards instead of out to the side?

[limpid cairn]

Place it on a wall and nudge it in place

[hard ivy]

Yeah, place it on a wall or attach to a pipe.

[simple solstice]

Beautiful thank you

[limpid cairn]

Isn’t attaching it to a pipe really bad since it destroys the flow or something

Or makes the pipe longer

[hard ivy]

A junction attached to a pipe is no different from a junction placed on a wall

There is a bug with junctions, but it's based on orientation. And you can get either orientation with both methods

[versed mesa]

Am jumping back on game now and going to give it ago with blueprint designer wish I had mk2 or 3

Wish me luck guys

[gentle whale]

Does anyone know when pre-orders for console goes live?

[hard ivy]

You can get a mk2 pretty quickly. You can buy or loot your way there pretty much as soon as you complete phase 2

[hard ivy]

November 4th?

[gentle whale]

That's when it drops on console, I'm just wondering if there is a way to pre-order it

[reef basin]

are those even preorders?

I doubt they are doing preorders

[hard ivy]

Probably not considering the game's already out on PC

I don't think they did preorders on PC either

[gentle whale]

I think in one of their past vids, coffeestain mentioned about a special helmet being added to players accounts for playing during early access on steam or epic? I could be wrong though

[hard ivy]

Yeah, but that's early access, not preorder

[gentle whale]

Ohhhh fairs

[hard ivy]

The game's been playable since 2019 but "released" only a year ago

[gentle whale]

It's been about 3ish years since I last played it 😅

[dapper pollen]

i need to learn how to use blueprints ive no idea yet lol

[gentle whale]

I'd recommend watching a YouTube video from xunavoid

Or kibitzs

[dapper pollen]

ok ill look ty

[gentle whale]

Np, np

Honestly looking forward to play the game again when it comes to console, I can't wait to get my factory prepped just in time for ficsmas

[versed mesa]

Really hiw do I loot my way there ?

[hard ivy]

Drop pods have resources scattered around them. You can progress milestones quicker with those

[versed mesa]

@hard ivy is there a free movement camera from seeing above so I can see if something is lined up ok ?

[crystal lynx]

Hello

[hard ivy]

Yeah, decoupled camera in photo mode

[versed mesa]

Ah the crash sites

[crystal lynx]

Is anyone playing satisfactory?

[versed mesa]

But its not in build mode

[limpid cairn]

Press p and r after

[versed mesa]

Hi everyone is

[versed mesa]

What about on controller?

[hard ivy]

No, if you want a top down view with the ability to build, then you either need the lookout tower, the jetpack, or the hoverpack

[crystal lynx]

Ok.... Does anyone want to be on my server??

[versed mesa]

Ive got the jetpack but its really hard because the fuel goes down quick so thats why its not easy

[hard ivy]

Use packaged liquid biofuel

[leaden turret]

@obsidian zodiac why does the under-construction HUB not have a bucket where the toilet should be?

[cunning glade]

So like does extra carts do anything besides looking dumb

[versed mesa]

Thats what am using fluid biofuel

[obsidian zodiac]

we take our plumbing very seriously marv.

[hard ivy]

It lasts nearly a minute when hovering how is that not enough

[leaden turret]

where is the Pioneer supposed to poop while doing the P.O.O.P. ?

[versed mesa]

Well you try pressing A to hover steady and then build place item lol

[hard ivy]

Well, I'm on KB+M and I used LBF to build even after getting the hoverpack

I can't imagine playing this game on controller. Or basically any game with 1st person POV for that matter

[versed mesa]

@hard ivy its ok ive got an idea what I can do because I want to use small pillars then ill use big ones once track is played straight then ill switch back to small ones and delete big ones

[leaden turret]

@obsidian zodiac by 🩳 are you saying official FICSIT policy is to damage FICSIT property? 😛

[gusty temple]

What do you call "extra carts" ?

[versed mesa]

@hard ivy is fine with controller and ive got more experience with

[obsidian zodiac]

what kinda poops you launching out marv?

[versed mesa]

I dont have desk like everyone does i plays on my sofa

[cunning glade]

Having 2 empty ones in between a 3rd that actually taking or transporting

Or something like that

[gusty temple]

You're using factory carts to transport things ?
