someone let me join i dont wanna play solo

[wicked nacelle]

it's by far my favorite part of the game

[outer scarab]

You can join mine but It's creative mode

[wicked nacelle]

but they do have a learning curve for sure

[lavish panther]

creative?

[outer scarab]

all the mods are now base game

[lavish panther]

i didnt play when mods were a thing

[outer scarab]

flying, infinite power and items

[lavish panther]

isnt the point of the game to get alat shit legit?

[outer scarab]

i mean, i'm building a city, so I dont care

I already beat the game like 30 times

[lavish panther]

how do u beat the game

is that just doing all the upload stuff

[outer scarab]

there is an ending now

you build a nuke and ada nukes you and takes your stuff

[wicked nacelle]

well, when you die you can't play anymore, so I guess that's the end 🙂

[outer scarab]

permadeath mode

[lavish panther]

i will probably be doing this within 100 years.

[outer scarab]

When you die in the game, you die in real life

[lavish panther]

when you die in real life, youll have died in real life

[outer scarab]

Well you have to be alive to die

I'm just an AI bot

zombie is a job

But yah this game got me through COVID so I have like 4000 hours

[wide cradle]

you can reroll...

[outer scarab]

just put on an audio book and build stuff

[wide cradle]

youre lying to me @cunning siren ....

[shy mulch]

I only started after 1.0 was released and I'm at 1300 hours. Imagine if I started back then 😂😭

[ripe heart]

Yo I’ve got a question. How much plates, rods and screws will I need to make per min to get me through the whole game?… I’ve gotten to phase two and made turbo fuel and all that, I just always never know how much I’ll need

[outer scarab]

I dont work

I leave my PC for 2 hours a day to go to the gym and eat

[leaden turret]

eat at desk, gym at home, problem solved

[cunning siren]

Patch 1.0:
Introduced the Hard Drive Library
Each Hard Drive now only gives two Alternative Recipe options instead of three.
Each Hard Drive can be ‘rerolled’ once, to show two different Alternative Recipe options.

[shrewd palm]

probably best to just set them up for personal use and then make them on site whenever needed

[outer scarab]

My gym has a sauna and a pool so...

[shrewd palm]

you dont really need screws and like 10/min for the other stuff should be enough

[ripe heart]

Dang alright

[shy mulch]

Going to the gym is quitter talk. I'm not fat, I have a built in protection layer

[zenith fractal]

peak efficiency

[leaden turret]

disable AC, flood bathroom, problem solved

[outer scarab]

You dont make items to make stuff, you make a setup to build the item you need to make

[wide cradle]

I see... Also I did another hard drive and got the iron pipe recipe

[zenith fractal]

like a lot

a lot

[thorny pagoda]

Sometimes I wonder if it makes sense using the train to transport all my oil to my AO where I like to have all my stuff organized or just leave the refineries out by the oil pits and using the train to transport the petroleum products

[ripe heart]

Mmm… lots.

[zenith fractal]

more than a human can reallyhandle

[zenith fractal]

it's always easier to transport products made from liquids than the liquids themselves

you could transport the liquids

but it will be annoying

[thorny pagoda]

That’s what I was thinking, transporting the oil by train seems less efficient

[lavish panther]

are there any issues with ip grabbers and whatnot in the lfgs?

im not sure how the hosting works for new satisfactory

@outer scarab

[thorny pagoda]

Whoever created the hydroelectric dam mod, bless you 🙏

[winged bronze]

Quick question... if I am making 368 Turbo Fuel per minute, how many generators can I feed that into? Overclocked or not...

[boreal musk]

check the fuel gen, check how much each gen burn turbofuel/min

simple math

[winged bronze]

I see... 7.5 per minute for each generators

[zenith fractal]

you can run 49 gennies

[outer scarab]

i dont know i havent used the LFG

[zenith fractal]

and 1 more underclocked at about 6%

or powershard 1 by 6%

[winged bronze]

368/16 is a perfect round 23 generators

but I am not sure how much to overclock to get the 16 fuel per minute

I know 3 power shards is 18.75

so it should be a little less than 3 power shards

[boreal musk]

368/23 = 16

16/7.5*100 is 213.3333% clock speed for each gen

[winged bronze]

Thank you so much!!!!

[cunning siren]

The Biomass Burners on the HUB only produce 20 MW, but also burn fuel 1.5 times slower 🤔 I did not know they were different than the external ones

[cunning siren]

Over a coupon a min

[shy mulch]

no, 1 coupon costs 249M

I'm averaging 75M/min

so about 4 mins per coupon

[cunning siren]

Oh right, I was reading the "next coupon value" as how much it takes to get to the next one every time

[shy mulch]

aha yeah

will get a golden nut statue approx every 55-60 hours if I just leave it running

gonna spend some time making it look nice now, so should have some statues to play with by the time I'm done that

[cunning siren]

MultiNut time

[shrewd palm]

nut all over the place or something

[shy mulch]

also got 86/min spare singularity cells, so I can expand my portal network

lol, achievements were all done long ago 😛

[vernal karma]

What can I do with petroleum coke?

[shy mulch]

the codex or wiki will tell you

5 hours until I start work.... should probably consider going to bed soon

solid choice, I also like using it for diamonds

[cunning siren]

I thought turbo diamonds was the "way to go"

[shy mulch]

need so many diamonds, I use every way of getting them

[shy mulch]

the factory I showed earlier is using about 900/min diamonds

took a bit of effort to get that much

[cunning siren]

Yea, I guess you have to use your sloopage more wise than I do

[shy mulch]

I use 40 in alien power augmenters, and 20 in this factory (5 manufacturers making BWD, fully sharded and slooped)
There's 46 other sloops somewhere, but I lost track of where lol

That's the beauty of a sandbox game, everyone can play it in the way that makes them happy, and all ways are valid

I'm never in a rush 🙂

[ripe heart]

Lucky guys. I wish I’d be able to get to late game but for some damn reason my brain loves to reset after phase two because my factories look buns and unorganised

I have no idea how people make central storages and buses that look nice

Logistics is funky

Ive bought this game 2 years ago

I only got to phase two a couple days ago…

safe to say I’m pretty darn slow

[twilit tinsel]

I have a full double chest of power shards is beautiful ❤️‍🩹

[outer scarab]

you can make power shards

I plug in this wire and in 100 mins phase 3 is done

This game has gone by alot faster than I thought it would

I'd say it's dab time too celebrate the next phase

[zenith fractal]

oh dear

I once said that too...

well congrats anyway

phase 3 is quite the milestone!

[shrewd palm]

Time for phase 4!

That’s when the game really gets going

[zenith fractal]

phase 1-3 was just a tutorial for phase 4

[white dawn]

@violet oyster (re: #screenshots message ) -- Depending on the flow rate going into that manifold, it may be fine! Though especially if you're trying to push 600/min it's possible you may need to get slightly fancier

Here's the advice I've got saved which will nearly always get you to working 600/min. IMO it's good advice even below that point, though the system is usually more forgiving before then. Note of course that people have gotten working systems while ignoring large swaths of this, and occasionally due to build styles or other vagaries you might still have problems even with all this. But IME it's nearly always "the pipes Just Work":

1. Keep the system as simple and short as possible.
2. Loop your manifolds (so: the input goes into both sides of the machines you're feeding)
3. Feed fluid from above, so gravity does part of the work for you
   4a. Avoid valves entirely (they've been improved for 1.0, so this one might not be as important, but you still don't actually need valves)
   4b. Avoid fluid buffers entirely (except as buffers for train lines, where they are rather necessary)
4. Prefill your pipes! Full pipes are happy pipes. Wait until the system's thoroughly saturated before turning machines on.
5. Place junctions before pipes. If you do snap junctions onto pipes, dismantle and rebuild the pipes afterwards.

See #screenshots message for an example of 2+3 specifically. And of course, as mentioned, the fluid simulation tends to be more forgiving as the rate goes down, so keeping your pipe systems below 600/min is another option too.

The looped manifold specifically might be worth putting in, depending on the flow rate

[violet oyster]

Its 600/min and these will be going into 15 refineries. So it will be the exact usage ammount.

[white dawn]

(Also, if you do need to ask a question for which screenshots are useful, #1038092680493801533 is often the most useful place to ask, since you can inline in there. Or #design-and-architecture or #math-and-meta if the question's more appropriate there)

Okay, so yeah, with 600/min and 15 refineries I'd definitely recommend the looped manifold. Feeding from above is good, though. :)

[violet oyster]

Ah fair enough. Ill do that next time 🙂

[white dawn]

Note that the longer the manifold, the more likely it is that you might encounter some flow problems

[violet oyster]

Sorry *14 refineries

[white dawn]

If you can arrange stuff so you're feeding fewer refineries you'll have a better chance at getting away without shenanigans

Though of course, you could get lucky and it'll work just fine right out the gate anyway. :)

[cunning siren]

🤔 why rule 6?

[violet oyster]

Im assuming because it shortens the pipes

So they are more the exact size for that line

[cunning siren]

OK, so it sounds like placing the junctions after has some strange pipe elongating thing to try and avoid

Is there any fancy way to make a vertical junction without making a pipe first? 🤔

[boreal musk]

placing junction onto pipes will add unnecessary extra length for each pipe segment

the same also applies to pump

[agile grotto]

Does anyone have good data about how much ionized fuel it takes for a drone to cross the map? Trying to figure out how much I should make for a fuel depot

[cunning siren]

The drone port will tell you AND it apparently varies as the drone pathing will change based on the geography so... virtually impossible to generalize with an answer to your question

[agile grotto]

Gotcha

[cursive crane]

!wikisearch drone

Bot dead?

!wikisearch drones

[cunning siren]

If one disassembles a lift with a bunch of splitters attached to it you can see the horrors that the game does to make it happen 😆

[cursive crane]

Aprox 282 for the farthest direction i think

Round up to 300 to be safe

Bit of variation as Im not dealing with decimals

[agile grotto]

From top of swamp waterfall straight east to the edge of the swamp islands is 3.7 round trip. Doesn’t seem like it’s going to be the best fuel source for drones

[limber plaza]

kinda new still here do you guys build all over and use trains much i tend to build everything in one place or atleast try to?

currently on steel rn farthest ive gotten was nuclear but i lost pacience about a year ago n started up again about a week ago

[rigid glen]

Everything all in one place can be fun, but severely punishing on your framerate. Modualr building, spread out, is probably more common and let's you design your own transport systems and ideas

You can finish the story line without any nuclear just FYI, only do it if you want to

[cursive crane]

Technically its 3rd "best" but thats that taking into account how horrid the fuel is for energy efficiency

[cunning siren]

#screenshots message <--- How this work?

[cursive crane]

Attach the splitter first to the belt. Vertical splitters. Added in 1.1

[limber plaza]

ahh ok yeah i was sometimes laggy im doing the same thing but im using the tractors atleast rn to transport quickwire and plastic to main atm

just hard to choose between recipes rn for my steel

not sure whats best

[cursive crane]

Tractors worst transport tbh

[cursive crane]

Pure ingots. Every time

Uses refiners and water

[limber plaza]

i used tractor because its not very far

[limber plaza]

ahh ok i just got that recipe and thats what i was building off of

[cursive crane]

Then just use belt or train lmao.

Train superiority

[mint wind]

Pure iron ingot + solid steel ingot is just 👌

[limber plaza]

train does use a ton of fuel tbf

[rigid glen]

I will build belt and pipe relays before using trucks, too fidgety and you need to supply fuel

[agile grotto]

Ya feels like I would be crippling my power grid to just make the fuel for a bunch of drones. Plutonium fuel rods it is

[cursive crane]

Train uses power. Not fuel

[limber plaza]

i need to add more power then is turbo fuel good for power?

[cursive crane]

I would rather only use belts for my entire save than try to integrate trucks

[cursive crane]

How much power you have rn?
And what is it made by?

[limber plaza]

perfect thats what i was building with rn

[limber plaza]

i have 3k rn

coal and fuel generators

[cursive crane]

Look into better ways to use fuel.
Making the jump from that small amount of power to turbo is going to just burn you out. Theres a lot of oil on the map to experiment with larger capacity fuel builds.

!wikisearch heavy+oil

<@&370483737957236737> bot down 🙁

[limber plaza]

i have 16 coal generators running rn thats what i started with when i unlocked them

[limber plaza]

and 8 fuel generators with normal fuel coming from my rubber and plastic farm

[rigid glen]

I have 48+ coal and 50+ fuel, you could use some more power 🙂

[cursive crane]

Check out alt recipe for fuel. HOR. Diluted fuel.

[limber plaza]

holy lol

[cunning siren]

Yep i get that feature AND can not replicate how in is connected in the center in the screenshot 🤷

[limber plaza]

Diluted fuel is that the alt rec name

[zenith fractal]

Diluted fuel is too good

[cursive crane]

I have 30+ 250% fuel gens off the southeast oil field. 30GW of power. And thats without clocking the oil miners entirely

[limber plaza]

should i use molded beams recipe as well for the incased beams farm?

[mint wind]

When you have blenders and diluted fuel you can easily take all the oil on the blue lake to make rocketfuel for the generators
Its quite a Project but it nets you 250gw of Power. No need to upgrade it for a looooooong time

[cursive crane]

I would get more power before you do anything else. Itll free you up to plan your next move for quite a while. You can finish the game solely off of the above fuel setup 🙂

[limber plaza]

ok

i gotta get more hard drives i have 10 searched and non are diluted fuel

[cursive crane]

Harddrive hunting it is.

If you can, getting some packaged liquid biofuel is wonderful jetpack fuel, will help you search

Can make a temp setup with a single refinery and some water

[limber plaza]

packaged liquid biofuel? never used that before

[cursive crane]

Make all you need lol

[cursive crane]

Checkout the page for jetpack fuel. Its a very good fuel

[limber plaza]

i can make it already didnt know i had it unlocked i been using reg fuel but i ususally use turbo fuel for jetpack

[elder apex]

if you offset the original snap point the secondary snap point can be inside of the destination splitter/merger -> #screenshots message

[cursive crane]

Those projects should keep you busy for a while

• packaged liquid biofuel
• diluted fuel
• hardrive hunting, can also do mercer/sloop hunting and slugs/hunting monsters for coupons while you do that.

[white dawn]

Turbo Fuel's quite good as well. At that stage of the game I tend to keep a stack of both in my inventory. LBF's better for really long-range gliding, but TF's a bit nicer if you just wanna get up more quickly

[limber plaza]

ahh ok it lasts longer?

[white dawn]

(Also technically the parachute cuts into LBF's niche quite a bit, but a stack of LBF's nice to have around anyway)

Yeah, a lot longer

[limber plaza]

i have 15 sloops and 36 mercers already

i unlocked almost everything in the shop as well

[cursive crane]

Upgrade your dd then

[white dawn]

I think technically you can get higher with LBF than with TF via tapping thrust, since it lasts so much longer, but it'll take noticeably longer to get there. :)

[cursive crane]

Can get by without TF by using parachute for anything thats a 89° cliff lmao

Parachute goes UP

[limber plaza]

yea i always keep my parachute for that

dd?

[cursive crane]

Dimensional depot

Tell me you unlocked it

[limber plaza]

yeah been just havnt upgraded it

[cursive crane]

Its so good upgraded

[cunning siren]

Ok, how do I do that? Is this a nudge trick?

[limber plaza]

ok i gotta get sam flux first i have some farming but not turning into flux yet

ima just dupe them with sloops

[elder apex]

you can do it with nudge, or you can just place the original snap point normally. For instance, instead of using the upper splitter in the screenshot as the initial snap point I could have used conveyor stands instead

[cunning siren]

Ok, if you can replicate it then make it look like this and send a screenshot #screenshots message

[sullen gull]

Thoughts? #design-and-architecture message

[cunning siren]

OK, I may have figured out it, needs a floor hole at the end point maybe

Nope, have yet to figure it out 😭

[sullen gull]

Unless you use infinite nudge, you'll need a start point somwhere.. : #screenshots message

How I do it with machines...

How with floor holes coming in a sec.

@cunning siren With floor holes: #screenshots message

I'm sure y'all have seen it, but enjoy

[sullen gull]

@cunning siren , I didn't peruse back that far, any other styles you're needing/trying to figure out?

[cunning siren]

I'm not sure if it will put the vertical part of the lift in the center like this: #screenshots message This allows a specific alignment with all the other things above it. I get that I can connect in various ways however the result I'm looking for is to center the vertical part like in the screenshot

[feral geyser]

What??

What are you even saying?

[sullen gull]

Let us know when you figure it out 😏

[feral geyser]

Ah okay, I get it

I mean, they are in hard-to-reach places, seems pretty straightforward

[sullen gull]

Either one of these help? #screenshots message #screenshots message

YEA that looks like it

[sullen gull]

One last one to show how you can hit a "target height" #screenshots message

[vocal wolf]

hi chat

[sullen gull]

Fyi, lifts can also clip into machines as well for some clean compact looks. Imo, looks best with a floor hole that is nudged 1m into the machine (if that makes sense)

You talking the "world grid"?

[cunning siren]

Thanks yo!

[sullen gull]

@unborn gyro waddya think ... with or without the converters? #design-and-architecture message (and the next post)

[feral geyser]

That blueprinter is way too friggin big

[sullen gull]

Oh hell to the noes 🤣 It's AMAZING!

[feral geyser]

On principle, I dislike it

The build is cool though

[sullen gull]

I currently have it positioned just below the terrain and building a whole factory bp in it 🤣

[feral geyser]

Bruh

[sullen gull]

#screenshots message 🤣

And screw it, I've 'saved the day' three times now ... I'm "entitled" right?! 😏

This is the same as just saying "Yes" when someone asks "Is it this, or that?" 😒 🤣

[quaint scarab]

Does the overflow setting on a smart splitter also move things that aren't just overflow? So if I have a smart splitter going into a storage for modular frames, if it's in a chain with 3 other things can I just set one to overflow to keep the chain going?

[sullen gull]

The 'overflow' should only "kick in" if all other outputs are blocked/full

You you have "stuttering", you will see some go to overflow.

Ideally, once an oput becomes free though, it should have priority of all further items. till full again.

Pssh, I have no issue with screws tbh.

[vocal wolf]

what is the acronym of satisfactory

[quaint scarab]

Gotcha, so if I wanted a chain like that I'd have to run dual lines. Left to over flow, middle to all undefined, right to overflow to go into a merger.

[sullen gull]

Now that I have a 6x6 bp that can spit out 4800 from a smidge of alu ingot ... fogetabit!

[quaint scarab]

errr left to storage

[sullen gull]

Without some "visual references"... I'll just saaaay .... yes 🤣

[sullen gull]

Uhhh

[feral geyser]

There are several, which one? Or do you mean for the whole word?

[sullen gull]

That couple'd with alu beams is where it's at mate. fo sho

[vocal wolf]

for the whole word, its so annoying to type satisfactory when you have to search up something

[sullen gull]

Oh, just use satisfactory imo 🙂

[quaint scarab]

Haha, thanks. I think I have it right. I'd need to draw it out or just do it and see what happens, lol

[feral geyser]

You can abbreviate it by saying "satis" but that's not an acronym.

SF is acceptable in context, too (also not technically an acronym)

[sullen gull]

But, the main pertinent links are the gg wiki, satifactory-calulator, safitfactorytools, satrifactorybluprints, and Satisfactory Modeler on steam. And lastly, a search of satisfactory <subject> should get a good bot of results on youtube.

[vocal wolf]

tbh quickwire looks edible

would make good spaghetti imo

[sullen gull]

heh, 4100 in the last year myself 😏

[feral geyser]

I would eat paleberries, they look delicious

[sullen gull]

Well, maybe more like 3920 "real hours" I'd say ..

[sullen gull]

The bacon shrooms though ... 🤤

[vocal wolf]

idontcare
as long as it looks edible its edible

[vocal wolf]

would bacon shroom taste like bacon or just shroom

[sullen gull]

Look like they'd taste like steak 🤣

Like portabella's can if done right.

I saw/read that there was a real life reference....

Don't remember what though

Hah, trivia mention .... noice

[vocal wolf]

WHAT
THEY EXIST?

I GOTTA GO FIJND THEM AND EAT THEM
even if i die

fun fact: there was no toilet feature in the first HUB designs

[feral geyser]

Fry em up and make a mushroom burger, fuck yeah

[sullen gull]

Dude ... you cannot have a toilet in a game and not give the player the ability to flush it ... That's gotta be in the "rules" somewhere 🤣

[feral geyser]

It is, addendum to rule #2: if the game has a dog, you must be able to pet it.

[sullen gull]

The fact they went a step above though and actually allow flushing of items ... 🤌

[sullen gull]

Although, not sure I care to pet them in something like Resident Evil 🤣

[vocal wolf]

is there a game command somewhere that turns off building errors

[sullen gull]

Soft clearance mod

In game, vanilla, not that I am aware.

Even the gold cup!!. ... it should be free after all my efforts dammit! 😭 🤣

[vocal wolf]

my doggo follows me around when i make my ffactories so as a result he is now stuck in an assembler's input

lizard doggo

dingy

[feral geyser]

Operation Save Doggo commenced

1st step, dismantle the assembler

[sullen gull]

Seriously though, I wanna know where the hole is in thier pen .... they keep getting out to get items somehow ....

[feral geyser]

2nd step, build nice room with a locking door and a lowered floor so they cant escape

[frank cloud]

What are the major usages of Steel Beams? I'm looking through the wiki and it seems to be to make Encased Industrial Beams but I got the recipe for doing that with pipes and the better ratio pipes recipe. So I'm thinking I should just put most my steel into pipe. Is that a good idea?

[feral geyser]

3rd step, bring doggo to room, give food and water

[feral geyser]

You need them for Mk3 belts

And quite a few other things.

[frank cloud]

I'm making enough steel beams for construction purposes. I'm more considering for crafting of future items.

Aight, yeah pipes seems like the choice cause I can use them for a lot of things.

[feral geyser]

Railways, architectural beams, frame pieces, etc.

[frank cloud]

I didn't consider railways.

[feral geyser]

What is that last word?

Jesus...

[frank cloud]

Aight, thanks for the advice. I'm going to split my steel 1:3 for beams and pipes on this factory I'm making.

[feral geyser]

Get the molded beam recipe, better conversion ratio on the steel.

[frank cloud]

I have it

I got the moulded for both pipes and beams.

[feral geyser]

Nice

[frank cloud]

I'm looking at something like 45 beams/min and 360 pipes out of this factory

Which should get me through phase 3

Thats what I'm thinking, beyond for railways and belts. Which tossing enough into storage and yeeting into a dimensional depot should handle that

Cause I'm not building trains 24/7

[random lynx]

yo i thank everyone who ignored my req for friends and stuff i got a lot of nothing done on tgis server and a lot of... wait.. 0 people to chill wit great community! but im out

[real wolf]

Im gonna make 1200 m² of turbo fuel just for some power

[sullen gull]

Unfortunately never saw a gaining of friends by complaints at someone not being their friend. 🤷‍♂️

[real wolf]

I thought i could get to phase 4 with 7.2gw but no

[sullen gull]

Ya no... 😏 maybe though, if you "hand bammed" parts (simple single machine and container setup)

[real wolf]

No i gotta automate every item in a phase before moving on

[limber plaza]

i got though phase 4 with 3.0gw

[frank cloud]

Not me out here thinking this is 7,000,000mW instead of 7000mW

[feral geyser]

Oh, we had this pedantic discussion before, it's MW (megawatt), not mW (milliwatt)

[frank cloud]

You right

[real wolf]

W is always in minutes if it doesn't say W/s or W/h

[feral geyser]

I don't want the pedants to come complaining.

[feral geyser]

No?

[frank cloud]

I deal with them when they grade my assignments for circuits. I get it

[feral geyser]

W = J / s

[real wolf]

Then it's even worse

Omg

It's Tolkien's drawing of Smaug, right where his missing scale would be.

Just get a smith chart on there while you're at it.

[sullen gull]

Ahhh, yeah, I see varients of this alot in some plotters lol

[real wolf]

Aw hell nah

[sullen gull]

I have too many. And that next one is going to stand out like a sore thumb amongst the rest of the "split decisions" 🤣

[sullen gull]

Cast Steel screws + alu beams ... problems solved 😏

[feral geyser]

Steel* screws

[sullen gull]

good lookin

[real wolf]

Wasting aluminum i see?

[feral geyser]

No, not at all

There's so much aluminum

[sullen gull]

Hah, hardly a waste when producing 12,000 ingots /minute 🤣

[feral geyser]

I'm making HMFs almost entirely out of aluminum (can't get rid of iron in plates)

[sullen gull]

For just a measly 136 alu ingots or so, that's like 4800 screws!

Delivered by drone no less! 🤣

[fickle oriole]

what's the cheapest way to "mark" an area so monsters won't respawn there? will a lookout tower do it? Anything even cheaper than that, like a ladder?

[sullen gull]

A powered machine producing stuff afaik.

Not sure about the producing part though...

If you don't care to fight, you could always just change game settings to retaliate (which I think is bugged) or passive.

[fickle oriole]

I did that, set it to passive, but feel like such a wimp now :). Was wondering how 'real' players pacify a region

[sullen gull]

🤷‍♂️ I play on retaliate.

[feral geyser]

Assert dominance repeatedly

[sullen gull]

Yet, they don't, so its more like passive 🤣

[feral geyser]

Visit violence upon them and their children for generations to come

[sullen gull]

And then turn the remains into DNA ... profit ...

[fickle oriole]

well....but the dudes respawn forever, this can be mighty annoying when say walking along a road.

[feral geyser]

The I[[censored]]i method

[sullen gull]

kill em to build if needed, otherwise just run em over if driving. "auto-driven" trucks and trains will for sure 🤣

Css already stated that the combat part isn't really integral to the game experience. Outside of the needed research and if you want to use the remains for power/coupons.

[feral geyser]

As far as fun combat games by CSS, Sanctum (2) is pretty great

There are definitely some borrowed settings too, there is a stage in the Titan Tree Forest on a suspended train station.

[fickle oriole]

who/what is "Css"?

[feral geyser]

Coffee Stain Studios (devs)

[sullen gull]

Coffee Stain Studios. Creators of the game.

[fickle oriole]

d'oh! ty

[sullen gull]

Haha, ooh boy .. solid minute "lockout" just to place one bp 🤣

[surreal meteor]

How many HMF per minute should I plan on producing for phase 3?

[sullen gull]

42

[sullen gull]

It's a difficult question to answer as everyone's goals are different. If doin a central "base" maybe just start with 1 machine's worth and leave room for expansion. If doing something like "Independency" (essentially each factory is it's own thing and doesn't rely on another), max out whatever nodes you're using for it imo.

You can also hit O and look up HMF and see what recipes it's used in, follow the chain, and decide for yourself.

[feral geyser]

At least 10/min, so you can send some to fused frames (later tier) and have some to use for yourself.

More is better

[sullen gull]

Probabably a better answer 😏

For instance, a plant I have that is eventually making 3.93 singularity cells (late game item, sorry for any spoiler), I am using ~20 hmf/min.

[surreal meteor]

Actually, lets save that problem for later. I want to get some hard drives

[warped cove]

is there any plans for cross-map transport methods

everything just seems kind of slow to move across the map, like I have a proper 5-10 minute hypertube journey between my hub and nuclear plant just because of location

or is there anything in tier 9

I haven't seen anything in tier 9 yet

[lament niche]

#screenshots message

[lament niche]

drones, trains, hypertube cannons

[warped cove]

but that all takes a tedious amount of time if youre moving back and forth for whatever reason

[sullen gull]

Teach me the ways of surfing a drone 🤣

[surreal meteor]

I heard there were portals, but it looks like they need a lot of stuff

[sullen gull]

Not cannons

[warped cove]

[cunning siren]

Whelp, I figured out how to do that funky lift connect with conveyor ceiling mount AND spent 2 hours trying to make it happen with a floor hole 😭 no luck 🤷

[sullen gull]

#screenshots message Not a "how-to", but should give an idea

[warped cove]

alright thanks

[sullen gull]

I'd have to see exactly what you're trying to do.

[cunning siren]

[limber plaza]

what do you guys usually use a pure oil node for? power?

[sullen gull]

Power, plastic, rubber, fabric...

And more I'm sure.

[limber plaza]

already got rubber and plastic going should i use it for turbo power?

[vocal wolf]

i hope they add manufacturing plants on april fools

[sullen gull]

Diamonds...

[sullen gull]

and later rocket fuel, absolutely 🙂

[sullen gull]

Like, manufacturing literal plants?

[vocal wolf]

yea like trees and bio matter

tbh automating biomass would be great for chainsaw

[sullen gull]

Ahh, heh. "Theres a mod for that" 😏

[dense violet]

or diluted fuel? that's easier and fine

[feral geyser]

Lmao yooo, I got blocked by another fragile clown, nice

[vocal wolf]

everything has a mod for it 😭🙏

[feral geyser]

That's 2 now at least

[dense violet]

set an output goal, does it need plastic/rubber? probalby use that node.

if it doesnt? do something else

[sullen gull]

Huh?

[feral geyser]

The one you're looking for is Vanilla Greenhouses (can grow berries, nuts, agaric, and mycelia)

[vocal wolf]

mmm yes more bacon agaric for eating purposes 🤤

[sullen gull]

Factory props (I think) has everything lol

[vocal wolf]

ym crops?

[feral geyser]

Combine it with Automated Inhalers* (the one that doesn't change recipes) and you are set.

[sullen gull]

No, not crops.. my bad.

[limber plaza]

thats what im working to get atm

[feral geyser]

FICSIT Farming is only good for the Doggo cages

Otherwise, it's basically useless

[dense violet]

yeah if you need more power, oil to HOR to diluted fuel is great. Doesn't need anything but oil and water

and most oil is quite close to water

We have a ton of lightning rn, it's been going all night

[dense violet]

No such thing. All recipes give you options. Even if a couple are very niche

[bronze atlas]

thats true, but some are more useful than others. I would say those are the "good" ones. Even though they all have good purposes eventually.

[limber plaza]

meant it as there are some better than others that i need rn rather than use them i rather let em sit till i get the one im looking for atm because u cant get the same recipe if its sitting on a hd already

[cursive crane]

Also bots been down dunno if you know lol

[obsidian zodiac]

working on that as well

[cursive crane]

Your'e my new fav CS CM

[dense violet]

They can be broken down into generalist a specialist

Generalist, as you can imagine, generally have more use cases.

But thats because they are things like alloy recipes that are available in many situations affecting everything down the line

More specialist might be crystal or caterium computers.
Need more specific situations for them to be ‘good’ but that doesn’t mean they’re ‘worse’ than generalist recipes

They are very good at what they do

[nocturne orbit]

I finally dumped couple months of lingering ideas into memes channel

[limber plaza]

i understand wym was just reffering to getting a certain recipe atm ik they all serve a purpose depending on what item is being produced

im in need of power and people here told me i should get diluted fuel which is what im looking for

[real wolf]

But why...

[cursive crane]

Legend

[cursive crane]

Are you at tier 7 yet?

It doesnt unlock till then

[remote cloud]

cuz we can

[real wolf]

[limber plaza]

gotcha bouta get there

[cursive crane]

My bad for not telling you that, but you need the drives anyway so i dont feel so bad lol

[remote cloud]

yuhuh, after nuclear is done im gonna use every single bauxite node on the map to finish my aluminum production

[real wolf]

There's something wrong with you

[remote cloud]

yes

i got the fun kind of autism

[cursive crane]

c o n s u m e

[real wolf]

There's no fun part about autism

[limber plaza]

all good bro i just setup some turbofuel and i got the augmenter helped alot

[remote cloud]

i currently have a iron plant that produces around 50k ingots/min thats not even getting used

i just built it for fun, its all getting sinked

[real wolf]

Ok youre mentally ill

[remote cloud]

nuhuh

just funny

[cursive crane]

Protip for some of the drives, you can just keep the resources for an augmenter in the DD for when you come across pods that need power and thatll be enough for most of em [I think theres one that needs more than that]

[limber plaza]

alr bro that confused tf outta me

[remote cloud]

Check #math-and-meta

[cursive crane]

Some droppods need power to open.

Augmenter puts out 500mw flat + 10% boost to grid.
If a pod need anything under 500mw, plop down augmenter, connect to pod. Ez open

[dense violet]

If you’re not at tier 7 you’re looking for diluted packaged fuel

[limber plaza]

ahh gotcha didnt know that

i been pushing power across the map lol

[cursive crane]

You telling me out of the possible 165,780 ingots you could be making, you are only making 1000 or so?

[real wolf]

Yes

[cursive crane]

Easier than pushing power, but also its helpful to expand so thats a win win lol

[remote cloud]

yeah, idk its fun making big factories and bricking my pc if i look at them too fast

[limber plaza]

yeah gotcha i have hella recipes to collect debating if i should just collect them all since i cant get the diluted one yet

still have 10 hd as well

[cursive crane]

Doesnt really matter, at a certain point itll tell you theres nothing to scan, just keep checking back at every tier upgrade.

[limber plaza]

so theres enough hd to get all the recipes?

[remote cloud]

there should be, theres i think 118 alts and 130 HD's (im not 100% sure)

[cursive crane]

But theres like.. 118 hard drives to collect. [Only 106 for scanning]

[reef basin]

yes

[cursive crane]

If you are counting, otherwise you can check SCIM to see how many you have left

[limber plaza]

some are for the mam as well thoe for ionized n turbo and rocket

[cursive crane]

Yep. Theres 5/6 left over after everythings said and done

According to wiki.

[limber plaza]

ohhh i didnt know that

even the +6 inventory slots ones

[cursive crane]

Yep

[limber plaza]

ahh ok thanks bro i didnt know any of that lol

[cursive crane]

I think theres only 2/3 of those iirc so def grab them when they come up.

[limber plaza]

i always played alone got to nuclear on another server i started n quit a year ago cuz i was confused at that point

[cursive crane]

Correction, 2 of them.

[limber plaza]

grab which ones the inventory ones?

[cursive crane]

Yea things get more time consuming at that point lol

Yep. Only 2 inventory upgrades in the harddrives

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Hard_Drive

[limber plaza]

well im determined to get passed it this time i have till tarkov wipes so till november plenty of time i hope

[cursive crane]

Only a month lol

[remote cloud]

depends on your playstyle, but nuclear takes alotta time so might need a bit more than that

[limber plaza]

so ur saying i should just go back on the other server?

[cursive crane]

Keep in mind, if you use oil well enough, you can def finish the game without nuclear. Theres just some cool stuff in the last tiers that you may not want to skip/cant

[cursive crane]

This is the kind of game you play to enjoy/explore. Kinda ruins it if you are rushing yourself [we aint talking about the speedrunners]
Games not going anywhere, and christmas event is back in december. So dont rush it

[limber plaza]

not rushing at all actually organizing my builds ive torn down copper twice and iron twice because of new recipes that produce more

which im gonna do again becuase i got more effecient ones again i have a problem using power shards

[severe oriole]

its ok im 20 hours into this game and i think ive torn down my factories about four times now

[cursive crane]

I survived to tier 7/8 off of like..600iron ore or so. Then I made a 12k iron ore factory [still wip] lol

But thats my 6th ish save. Made specifically for 1.0. Had a plan and knew what I was doing

[brittle grove]

what would the best way to move crude oil 1500m be

i doubt piping it would be an enjoyable experience

[limber plaza]

wtf lol

[remote cloud]

dont we love spamming bots XD

[limber plaza]

why dont u just build in a spot where all materials u need are together

[brittle grove]

I am in a spot that is everything except crude oil

so it was like a compromise which I now need to deal with somehow

[green fiber]

Thanks for using those terms.
(Btw, theres a 3rd group: flex recipes)

They arent exactly generalist or specialist due to their more application dependant nature without being specialized enough, often changing role with inclusion of other alts or recipes )

[limber plaza]

ehhh lol

[remote cloud]

yeah, thats i guess a downside to a open to the public server

[cunning siren]

The level of shenanigans that one needs to learn and pull off in this game is becoming more apparent by the day. I just had to make ~15 actions in perfect sequence to place a lift and belt "correctly" 😆

[remote cloud]

yep sounds about right

[cursive crane]

Packaging, or trains/trucks/drones

Need to evaluate what you can do. Otherwise pipes is perfectly reasonable so long as you watch headlift and such

[I suggest trains if its really far]

1600 really isnt that much though.

Might be better off converting it first then transporting that resource. Unless you are doing fuel, then thats a diff conversation

[unkempt blade]

yeah but which ones are the most fun to transport in factory carts?

All of them. The answer is all of them

[green fiber]

Recipes? You dont transport recipes, you transport parts

And the funniest part to transport with a factory cart is another factory cart

[unkempt blade]

cartception

[shy mulch]

How much crude oil? 1500m isn't too bad, I've used pipes longer than that, it's OK and can be fun making it look nice. Alternatively, a squad of drones would work, you'd probably need about 8-10 drones though. Trucks or Trains are both equally valid options.

[versed mesa]

Hi all ive just finally unlocked the Rifle

And 2 different ammo and one of them being the homing ammo

[unkempt blade]

I'd be kind of surprised if it needed that many drones. Moving it as packaged oil should be like 9 stacks x 100 packages per stack x 15 oil per package for 13500 in a load I think

[versed mesa]

Am yet to test it on monsters

[cursive crane]

Packaging 1600 oil kinda a waste though, would just use trains, if its not far enough to validy trains [unlikely] then pipes.

[unkempt blade]

it's only like 108~ normal-clocked packagers to handling packing and unpacking what's the big deal?

[dense violet]

Flex are just specialists. They work in specific situations. Sometimes those situations are made with other recipes

[unkempt blade]

ahh so like biocoal

[zenith pecan]

I just pipe oil.

[unkempt blade]

to the pair of truck stops backed by 54 packagers so it can be taken to another truck stop backed by 54 packagers using a factory cart route and then have the containers brought back to the origin by a second factory cart route?

because that could easily handle 1600/min oil

[cunning siren]

Charcoal boost wood output energy by 30x while Biocoal is only 2x 🤷

[brittle grove]

would I not have issues with oil being used up at my factory before the train brings back a fresh batch

[cursive crane]

Ngl other than fuel for jetpacks, i have never had a use for packaging

If you gotta move it just put it in a train lol

[unkempt blade]

Depends how long the route is and how many freight cars you use. Non-packaged liquids are 1600 per freight car so you need to average at least one freight car delivered per minute of route time

[shy mulch]

Have a buffer. Store enough between the train station and the factory to cover the time 1 full return trip takes. Then the train is never feeding the factory directly, the factory gets it's supply from storage and the train just tops up the storage

[cursive crane]

Solution is just add another car, or another train if too much elevation for another car

[cunning siren]

Wuuut? No drone fed nitro? What do you do drag pipes across the map? I guess that's all good for Nitro 🤔

[brittle grove]

ahhhh I see, buffer is a good idea. Thanks

[cursive crane]

Mapwide train route with designated liquid transports

Pipes from the stations

[cunning siren]

I have yet to mess much with trains or megabases, yet

[unkempt blade]

normal bases and megatrains are better though

[solemn crystal]

Guys, why do you use trains?

Or like any form of transportation of material that isnt drones

Just make a slightly larger conveyor

[true mulch]

Train tracks can be reused

Conveyor belts get full quickly

The capacity of a double track is ridiculously high and practically immeasurable

[solemn crystal]

Maybe, but in my POV the trains make efficency tracking kinda hard

[true mulch]

What does that mean

[solemn crystal]

Because i track the RPM of each thing but with trains it makes it like all in 1 burst

So it would be harder to track

As all material comes in bursts

If theres a solution to that ill gladly uss them

[true mulch]

Everything comes in bursts

Per-min values are averages

You can easily smooth out freight platforms just by using ISCs

I don't know what RPM is other than rotations per minute

[solemn crystal]

As in its like a delayed conveyor belt, here:
a conveyor belt delivers 1 item at a set rate, for example if you move forward 1 step every second
But with trains, it delivers a pack of things delayed, for example if you move forward while lagging, it teleports u 60 steps each minute

[solemn crystal]

Rate per minute

[cursive crane]

Your limitation is the speed of the two belt inputs multipled by how many cars are transporting that product.

[true mulch]

"rate" already implies it's quantity over time, you can't say quantity over time over time

[solemn crystal]

ok 👍🏻 but like solution to issue

[cursive crane]

Thats all you need to measure.

[true mulch]

I don't see how is that an obstacle to anything

[solemn crystal]

ok so
If i put 300 iron per minute
and i have 2 cars
i can move things at 600 per minute?

im not sure thats reliable tho

[cursive crane]

No.
In that case your "rate" is 300/m which is a waste for trains, but not a bad use for a preexisting track

[leaden turret]

coughaccelerationcough

[cursive crane]

Your rate can only ever be what you put in.

[solemn crystal]

Then whyd u say conveyor input x cars

[cursive crane]

Trains can do as much as you put in.
Which in game is 2 mk 6 belts.

||2 mk 6 belts is 2400 product/m.
If you need more than that, or the route is too long, add another train, or more cars.||
Spoiler edit, end game rates

This theoretically makes your output for a single train station [location, not single building] near infinite, depending how you build.

I for example use it to collect all the iron in the southern part of the map and bring it to a central location, which only technically uses 2 belts and a train track, + the factory to process it all. Try that with belts its spaghetti, with trucks youd need so much fuel youd have a brain aneurism, and drones youd need spaghet belts just for the batteries to supply them

[solemn crystal]

ok that sounds complex so i have a better idea
what if i just dont use them and i make really long conveyor belts

im just kidding ill try to learn

[cursive crane]

Its not as complex as it sounds. But sooo worth

[remote cloud]

i hear heresy /j

[mortal ginkgo]

there are some madman actually doing such conveyor belts than wonder why do they have constant 5 fps.

While you are joking, please keep it in mind that, in factory games, "big storage carriers" are there to reduce CPU usage behind 😄

[solemn crystal]

jokes on you i have 4 >:D

[mortal ginkgo]

MADNESS TAKES US OVER TONIGHT BROTHERMAN

[solemn crystal]

tonight? It happened a few months ago

[remote cloud]

i can voutch, that is why i cant look at some of my factories without my pc melting itself, turning into a small black hole and then crashing my game

[solemn crystal]

Cant you turn off conveyor belt rendering?

[remote cloud]

its on its lowest and its still laggy XD most likely because there is about 10000 belts in a 40x40 foundation space (maybe more i havent counted them)

[solemn crystal]

Well shit, i have far too many space belts in shapez 2, better start replacing with trains

[solemn crystal]

You’re still in the small blackhole stage

[mortal ginkgo]

thats also one key point of that game but they got multithreading in it so it must be better.

howevever the fact still stands true. its not even the object count that hurts the game, it is moving them.

[shy mulch]

Yep, perfectly reliable. Just have a buffer storage between the train output and the factory that you prefill with enough to keep the factory going for one full round trip of the train. That way the factory keeps going from the storage and the train just keeps refilling the storage. It's pretty simple to set up and completely eliminates any concerns of "chunking" like things coming in a lot at a time. Also if the train is delayed it doesn't even matter, it will catch up by bringing more next time. As long as your cars aren't normally completely full. I always build in some extra capacity on my trains so delays can easily get ironed out automatically

[mortal ginkgo]

but then there are some people who thinks planet is donut shaped. God do be like that sometimes, creating humans that you just can't communicate with.

oh the sweet irony of God.

[solemn crystal]

Yea shapez can run on my potato

[solemn crystal]

Its obviously not a donut, its just a really big factory cart duhh

you'll need buffers both at loading and unloading

ok guys listen we have been joking a lot but I got a HUGE problem that is making me go nuts.

I can NOT stop grabbing beyrl nuts that I see around as I travel.

I got 2 storages full of nuts already. I don't need more nuts.

Yet I can't stop grabbing those nuts.

What do I do? Can Jason help? Can he manage me as I am in a community that is community managing?

[remote cloud]

damm thats nuts

make med inhalers out of them

[limpid cairn]

Just stop the day and night cycle and they’ll stop growing

[unkempt blade]

That's why my combat strategy is jetpack + blade runners + basher => run straight at enemies and hork down nuts and berries as needed. No need to overthink it with effectively unlimited regen in my bag

[mortal ginkgo]

#screenshots message

Here is the proof. This is one storage.

I am not even going ahead of myself to grab them. I got SO efficient with my parkour and parachute skill that I am not even losing time.

I just became too good at grabbing those nuts.

[mortal ginkgo]

But I like the night of this game :/

[limpid cairn]

Oh really…?

[mortal ginkgo]

Yes.

[limpid cairn]

Then only play at night time

[mortal ginkgo]

I mean you grab that much amount of nuts without loosing efficiency in your travels, you will feel the same.

thats beautiful

but I need to build things too so I need morning, so I go at night.. grabbing nuts.. where they least expect it...

we will see when they are all running 😄

the first 100km which do have items moving at 1200/min did not significantly hurt performance. I've 780 coupons from sinking their ore.

[mortal ginkgo]

ah the "out of context" guy is back.

"dad works at NASA" is obviously a joke.

sigh some people are just...

nuts.

[nocturne orbit]

You came up with a username for me?

[solemn crystal]

i cart even with these guys

[mortal ginkgo]

You know what. I was not smiling before. Now I am smiling. Thanks.

[nocturne orbit]

Factory carts for the win

[solemn crystal]

Someone gotta ping the factory cart guy

[mortal ginkgo]

@unkempt blade

[remote cloud]

im berry hanging on🫐

[solemn crystal]

Their sense of humor is so… pale

[remote cloud]

im doing this instead of actually working

[mortal ginkgo]

Mind if I ask, do you know if this game got any multithreading?

I assume it has for pipe-madness-behind but unsure for belts

[frail sleet]

I see average loads as high as 19 simultaneous threads

[mortal ginkgo]

ah so I am wrong at belts being a big issue. they probably still is in ultra large numbers for people who had my old "gaming" laptop

[frail sleet]

it doesn't significantly benefit going from 1ccx 8c16t to 2ccx 16c32t though because they can't share cache or talk to each other efficiently

but it will probably get faster going from 8c16t to 12c24t on a single CCX with next gen cpu

[mortal ginkgo]

I can't talk to people efficiently either, can relate. 😔

[solemn crystal]

The what now

[mortal ginkgo]

thanks fıor the input tho.

[late tartan]

I haven’t played the game in a hot minute but is there any way to do priority merging?

[remote cloud]

just shove a power shard between their ribs, they'll run a bit faster then😌

[unkempt blade]

you just need to use better alt recipes for conversation

[green fiber]

Yes its called "build a priority merger" after unlocking priority mergers

[frail sleet]

The most popular cpu's right now are basically like two seperate CPU's stuck together, so they do a lot better doing 2 seperate jobs than they do working together on the same job.

[mortal ginkgo]

there is a MaM research for a machine called "Priority Merger"

[late tartan]

Nice.

[mortal ginkgo]

Bro I tried, whenever I say "Cast Screws are a good alt recipe from early to mid game." some people get auto summoned to start talking with "ATCHUUUUAAALLLLLLY 🤓 "

[late tartan]

Been so overwhelmed at work the past few months-year that all i do is sleep instead of play games

[solemn crystal]

Maybe you need to sloop your talking

[atomic notch]

Just get all the alts

[mortal ginkgo]

to be fair devs really sneaked that Priority Merger into game without too much advertisement (despite being a huge deal in a factory game).

its in patch notes, but patch notes be like that sometimes

[unkempt blade]

that's just solid engagement bait, that's how you get lots of conversation practice

[mortal ginkgo]

then they say I talk more than double than needed.

[limpid cairn]

ACTUALLY screws are horrible and get you screwed up, don’t use screws!!!🤓👆

[solemn crystal]

Yea it came in a mini patch along with the personell elevator i think

[mortal ginkgo]

***I JUST CANT BROTHERMAN! I JUST CANT! 😭 ***

[unkempt blade]

also cast screws is a good recipe for early-mid game at least

[mortal ginkgo]

Steel Screws are good, fayt me irl I am so fat that I can't feel the hits.

[remote cloud]

cast screws are amazing though

[solemn crystal]

You need to be screwed up on the awesome sink

[atomic notch]

Early midgame is like nothin tho

[solemn crystal]

ER-

[atomic notch]

Like maybe a few hours

[solemn crystal]

early mid game is all of 3-4

[reef basin]

they are perfectly fine

[solemn crystal]

Thats not a few hours

[mortal ginkgo]

I am in Stage 1 for 155 hours+ because I want everything to look pretty before going to next stage.

Trust me, for some people, its for days 😄

[limpid cairn]

Check the messages I replied to 😔

[remote cloud]

i feel that, i've been in tier 8 i think for about a hundred hours now

[solemn crystal]

I got to 7-8 yesterday and i have like 60 hours in the world, and im horrible at the game

[remote cloud]

dear god

60 hours to tier 7-8?

[solemn crystal]

yes

[limpid cairn]

Yes

It’s really normal

[unkempt blade]

most of my stuff gets reworked after I get the hoverpack so I don't stress too much about builds before then other than to keep it somewhat organized and understandable

[mortal ginkgo]

But you are reasonable. I am not. Look at #screenshots message please.

I thought "hey pillar support for Elevator would look cool" and I finished this in 2 weeks.

[atomic notch]

So yall use fast screw instead of steel screw? L

[remote cloud]

you're so sweet thinking im reasonable

[mortal ginkgo]

you mean making screws manually? my GOD he is true

HE SPEAKS THE TRUTH!

[solemn crystal]

i have 2 saves
the “im actively waiting for the new GPU to drop so its playable”
and the “im trying my best to make a presentable world”
Guess which one is easier for me to understand

[mortal ginkgo]

What he meant was, he was joking.

Because we are joking about screws.

[solemn crystal]

How dare you disrespect screws, theyre used to make factory carts, i think

[remote cloud]

thats screwed up man

[unkempt blade]

depends if you use them to make your rotors or reinforced plates 😄

[mortal ginkgo]

I am surprised ADA simply did not shut me down for not even finishing Stage 1 for 179 in game days. Just checked "Days Since Last Incident" and it says 179.

For half a year I did not finish Stage 1.

Because I am busy decorating.

[remote cloud]

valid

have you built a slug coaster yet though

[solemn crystal]

I dont think devs are sane enough to think someone would do that

Because if they were sane, theyd know

[solemn crystal]

We’re disinclined to acquiesce to your request.

[mortal ginkgo]

no but I have a Doggy Shelter as seen here: #screenshots message

I also used 3 Slugs for decoration around my base.

Yes, even my mom could be a decoration. She is precious. Being mom is hard I understand.

[remote cloud]

sorry my brain has been melted by tomuch radiation, what dat mean? (yes i know the reference to POC i just forgot what came after)

[solemn crystal]

it means no

[unkempt blade]

if awesomeshop unlocks happened a little quicker I think I could sink a lot of time into the first stage but I always feel like I want like half of the decorative stuff before I make anything too pretty

[mortal ginkgo]

#satisfactory message

This is the way.

[remote cloud]

that totally doesnt look radiation poisoning inducing

[solemn crystal]

I have an idea

[unkempt blade]

... that's actually a really good plan if you're trying to get them early-ish

[solemn crystal]

Ill type it omce I get home

[mortal ginkgo]

I mean, you are the least person to talk since belt sphagetti gives ME radiation brotherman. Thats why even my logistic floors have logistic floors inside kek

[remote cloud]

yeahhh, i still gotta change that nickname

though its kinda funny cuz i cant properly function if the belts are spaghetti

[mortal ginkgo]

#screenshots message this is all 170 in game (days before incident) time drop from doggos

you see I got so much that I can use them for decoration

there is another box with excess too

key is constantly headpatting doggos

since I am decorating I am always in base so I check time to time

[remote cloud]

that just sounds like slavery with extra steps

[versed mesa]

Some power slugs are in the ground and can not get lol also spheres shows tobe in a location but also nit to be seen lol

[mortal ginkgo]

time you spend having fun is nothing but named "fun". I love the extra challenge of decorating stuff with no big help.

I got a stressful irl life so I am just chilling. I would never advise someone to stay stuck in stage 1 and decorate.

[remote cloud]

fair enough

[mortal ginkgo]

that means they are either high above or under a cave

[versed mesa]

They not

[mortal ginkgo]

You are not the first person to claim that, you won't be the last.

[remote cloud]

im totally not working rn while yapping in here

do i have stuff to do? yes however this is more fun

[mortal ginkgo]

yapping is needed brotherman, it calms the mind, lets you get relaxed, you yap to relax only to yap further

thats why even ADA gives you 2 seconds of break, once.

[remote cloud]

damm thats what thats for? i thought it was just to take a singular sip of coffee in a 56 hour play session

[versed mesa]

Lol

[mortal ginkgo]

you know what surprises me the most? Constructors got places that you can put Catwalks and Signs, but Assemblers don't.

Like, I can see some space to put signs but devs did not implement that.

Its curious, to be fair.

[remote cloud]

yeah it is, though i thought assemblers do as well? its just a bit wonky

imma check that when i get home

in 5-7 buisness days

[solemn crystal]

ok im home

i saw that

[remote cloud]

no you didnt

[remote cloud]

its more like 5ish hours but being dramatic is more fun

[solemn crystal]

ok so what if theres a reverse game mode, where you start by getting resources delivered from the space elevator, then you un craft everything to then put the final resource back onto the planet for storing

[remote cloud]

but the puppies and kittens

[solemn crystal]

whar?

[remote cloud]

the ones we save by crafting alldat

[solemn crystal]

theyre the ones that save us now

[atomic notch]

they also get uncrafted

[solemn crystal]

if you go up to one, it gives u a pale berry and then you give it random items every hour or so

[remote cloud]

how?! like i know we have a blender but that seems very unethical

[solemn crystal]

wanna know whats also unethical? exploting an entire planet just to feed to a hungry corporation that goes around doing nothing but reap resources off all planets it deems worthy. WE'RE THE VILLANS HERE NOT THE BLENDERS

[atomic notch]

oh yeah but boxing them up and paving their homalend with pure ingot refineries isnt

[remote cloud]

nuhuh im saving the kittens and puppies

[remote cloud]

shhhh we don talk about that

[solemn crystal]

technically u are because like you're re naturifiying their planet

biomass burners are now biomass generrators

[atomic notch]

cool little oasis, ill take all that water

[solemn crystal]

they make placeable biomass that you use to replant

[remote cloud]

i mean, i can just throw the biomass on the floor

would that work?

[atomic notch]

kinda sound like the planet crafter

in a way

[solemn crystal]

you can make a lag bomb and place it all in 1 place

[solemn crystal]

more of The Planet 14 day return policy

you're returning its stuff

[atomic notch]

huh?

[solemn crystal]

ok am making a paragraph to fully detail this

[atomic notch]

the planet crafter is a different game

[solemn crystal]

You start by getting resources from the space elevator, then you feed it into machines that then output the required items, and generate power depending on how much was used from the previous game mode, so the game progressively gets harder as machines make less and less power and output less and less material, the main goal of the game is to feed power into the designated power generator of each tier, that then output a way to return the planets resources, with the end being when the planet is full returned back to its origional state

[atomic notch]

so itd be like a planet crafter automation overhual mod

[sullen gull]

Why not? Easy peasy!

[solemn crystal]

kinda, but the end with biomass burners you have to manually place the biomass

[remote cloud]

agreed

[solemn crystal]

dead chat

😔

[mortal ginkgo]

kek.

[atomic notch]

we all just lurking?

[solemn crystal]

yep

i have discord on 1 monitor and one piece on the other

[atomic notch]

im just bored as hell man

[mortal ginkgo]

I am just waiting for the right moment to strike you FOOLS!

[atomic notch]

woke up too early

[solemn crystal]

for you are the fool for speaking of your plans

:)

ok time to go play forsaken because im bored

[mortal ginkgo]

Heh, you think so. But I am here to pretend that it is a joke, while in reality I am truly waiting for the right moment to steal your doggos.

FOOLS per usual.

[solemn crystal]

YOULL PAY FOR THIS

[solemn crystal]

wait but u just said ur plan again

[mortal ginkgo]

... RRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-

Fine fine, I go out to get a haircut. Sigh.

cu lot

[remote cloud]

tootles✨️👋

im gonna go do actual work as well instead of lurking here

[sullen gull]

Lurkin and wurkin over here 😏

Killing my arm filing nickel electroforms 😖

[unkempt blade]

seems like something you should apply your vast factoryzation skills to

[sullen gull]

Lol, nah, thats what happens on the days I am programming or training how to program robots 🤣

[placid stirrup]

Turned on the nuclear plant yesterday

An automated filter factory probably would've been a good idea

[vocal wolf]

who has awakened me from my eternal slumber

[prime rampart]

can someone check screenshot should i reuse or choose one of them?

[unkempt blade]

Which choice sparks the most joy? If neither ones sparks joy you should get rid of it

[sour vessel]

s t e e l s c r e w s

[unkempt blade]

sorry but I've been told screws make the game literally unplayable

[mortal ginkgo]

saying cast screws also auto summons some folks to confirm that as well yes

[sullen gull]

The liiiies!

[atomic notch]

screwphobes😒

[prime rampart]

oh

[unkempt blade]

exactly! there's more drives than recipes so you can just ask yourself the joy question

[atomic notch]

grab all the alts

[prime rampart]

HOW DO I GET FUEL!!

[sullen gull]

Make it. From oil.

[woeful gale]

why my water extractor in red forest keep fill with ghost nuclear waste?

[prime rampart]

i did but how do i like extract it so I CAN USE IT

[grim ermine]

Package it

[sullen gull]

Pipe it to a fuel gen

[grim ermine]

With plastic containers

[prime rampart]

how do i even package it

[grim ermine]

With a packager

[prime rampart]

oh hell nah

[grim ermine]

You unlock liquid packaging somewhere

[grim ermine]

Its not that bad

[prime rampart]

just saw it

i have a question do yall just make one massive energy producer and connect around the world or at every far place yall make another producer

[steady glade]

generally one site per type of energy is enough, maybe 2

then use towers and rails to move power great distances

[dense violet]

yup, make a new one every once in a while when you need an upgrade

[prime rampart]

i have 3different coal factories

im so lazy to walk and place down towers

[hard ivy]

that's less effort than building more coal plants...

[steady glade]

how big are your factories that you need 3 coal sites? how much power do they make?

[atomic notch]

I got this funny train on my world. It was the firs train i built and now the factory has grown so much the entire rail is inside

[vestal hill]

lol

[prime rampart]

oh

[prime rampart]

75mw per coal generator

does anyone have a blueprint for motors

[dense violet]

just make a basic assembler BP with belts and power connected

[prime rampart]

huh

[vocal wolf]

would it be cool if they added passager cars to trains

[feral geyser]

Locomotives are passenger cars

(1 passenger per) 😏

[vocal wolf]

the empty frieght cars probably technically counts

[dense violet]

open up your BP machine

set up like... 4 assembers with 2 manifolds feeding them. Hook everything up.

save it

build it

set the motor recipe on them. Done

[vestal hill]

am I the only one that actually plays productive packers

[feral geyser]

If you're a track jumping hobo (which i am)

[vocal wolf]

samesame

[vocal wolf]

subway surfers?!

[vestal hill]

ill bet at least 1.5 of my 120 hours has been spent on that computer

[vocal wolf]

my mouse speed is really annoying for it

my dpi is a bit too low and when i up the dpi its too high

[vestal hill]

hadn't thought of raising mouse speed

yeah I find that when I hook up my headphones it gets better for some reaason

[shy mulch]

Coal plants don't really make a lot of power. You'll be wanting to switch up to later tier stuff when you get there

[vestal hill]

good enough for phase 2&3

it's better than BIOMASS BURNERS

currently getting my coal plant up because these biomass burners are not good enough

[steady glade]

im sorry i meant the whole plants, as in the amount of generators, not just each machine

[dense violet]

finding 4 coal nodes next to water, and just turning it all the power is pretty normal. 48 to 64 coal gens is pretty normal when you hit mk3 belts.

each new machine you unlock consumes more power

[steady glade]

yes but generally 1 big site is enough to get you up to the next tier

[vocal wolf]

is it just me or does satisfactory has diffrent ambient music for diffrent zones? like, the music when im working on my factory/inside it is just rlly bland and lifeless, but when i go searching for ores it's the exact opposite

[feral geyser]

It does

It has a whole soundtrack 😏

[prime rampart]

uh i think i have like 8connected together

how do i detonate nobelisk>

[shy mulch]

Click

[dense violet]

throw, mouse click

[hard ivy]

nobelisk detonator

[prime rampart]

ty

FINALLY GREEN SMOKE GONE

life saver

guys i have an idea and idk if someone does this or not but when i unlock train should i just make one big ahh platform and have a storage area?

[steady glade]

there are easier methods

go explore and pick stuff up

[grim ermine]

Why would you ever need 3 coal factories...

I literally make 5000MW from one area of coal which is plenty of power to then get to fuel power

[versed mesa]

Whats the best thing to use to kill radiation monsters other than building up some ramps ?

[feral geyser]

Nuke nobs

Turbo ammo

[versed mesa]

Ive not got this yet but working on it

[feral geyser]

Regular ammo works too, just make sure you have a bunch

[versed mesa]

Damb nukes they quite fast for being obese lmfao

[feral geyser]

You gotta practice pitching and stick one straight on their head

[versed mesa]

Ok will work on that thanks

Uranium radiation is annoying also lol

There's some where am building Bauxite factory

[abstract heron]

hello 😄

[versed mesa]

Hi

[vestal hill]

ello!

[abstract heron]

i need to think how to do 2 belts into 4 = belts of rubber extra into plastic if i add a 3rd line it all backs up

[swift tulip]

I have an idea for satisfactory make stun nobelisks if possible like stun rebar but more enemies

[versed mesa]

We need a stun fence to trap the big monsters lol

[golden sky]

Hi everyone
so I'm looking through the wiki page for equipment workshop
https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Equipment_Workshop

Why are the hammer counts required for each item seemingly double the value in-game?

For example: portable miner requires 10 hammers in my copy of game and the screenshot shown on the wiki;
but it's listed as requiring 20 hammers in the table under "Crafting".

[swift tulip]

Just trap a few alpha stingers and unleash them on some poor bastard

[versed mesa]

Lol

[solemn crystal]

I PLAYED THESE GAMES BEFOREEEEE

[vestal hill]

lemme guess, shapez 2?

[solemn crystal]

uh yesnt

[versed mesa]

What games lol

[swift tulip]

Imagine if you could tame a stinger

[solemn crystal]

i said yesnt

[vestal hill]

100+ hours in it, great game

[solemn crystal]

i said yesnt so yea and no

[vestal hill]

ok continue then

[solemn crystal]

i also play shapez(just look at my tag) but like im terrible at the game

[versed mesa]

Idk never thought about it lol

[vestal hill]

wdym by terrible

[solemn crystal]

as in i do not know how to do anything efficently without causing spaghetti

[abstract heron]

i am 17,128 hrs in

[vestal hill]

is that a joke

[solemn crystal]

holy fuck get a life-

[peak wasp]

I'm only 40 hrs into my new world about 400 total between all

[vestal hill]

welcome to the crew

[abstract heron]

and 3,417hr in my current world

[vestal hill]

although my shapez factories were damn compact

[versed mesa]

@swift tulip I do know that theys monsters have been giving me a fright lol

[solemn crystal]

get this theres 3d now

[abstract heron]

and i got the game on steam release

[abstract heron]

thinking how i do this greeny

[solemn crystal]

me too but i have like 30

[vestal hill]

yeah that's a whole nother level isn't it ||pun kinda intended||
