satisfactory

[limber plaza]

u said to turn the poly into fabric

[feral geyser]

yes

[limber plaza]

ohh with water

never new that was a recipe lol

ima make this a blueprint it all fits inside

even the fabric

[silent grail]

started a new save and i havent even completed phase 1 yet and i just want to make a huge reinforced iron plate factory

ughhhhhhh it would be so much more efficient with some vehicle other than conveyors. very unfortunate

[white dawn]

You'll have plenty of time for huge factories once you get to the next power phase. :)

[silent grail]

i know but,, hear me out. I dont want to wait lol
ive already gotten to coal before and tractors and i just want to build it all now :(

8 iron ore deposits and a ton of constructors and smelters later and i could be making 20 smart plating per minute (which means 20 reinforced iron plates and 20 rotors per minute when im done with those)

[feral geyser]

nice

that would get your project parts done fast

[silent grail]

EXACTLY

[limber plaza]

@feral geyser how high does a pipe have to go up to need a pump? does it need it if it goes up not even 5m

[feral geyser]

Machines give 10m of lift, so if it's going above that, it needs one.

[limber plaza]

nah dont think its even 10 ima add it just incase ill ss

how do u ss again?

#screenshots

dont think thats above 10

might be actually i was using the floors to kinda measure lol

[feral geyser]

You'll be able tell if you hook it up and the pipes start breathing.

[cunning siren]

Quick search shows blueprints too! OMG why would I use the blueprint menu?

[cunning glade]

Question are sheetings or casings more needed endgame

For aluminum

[feral geyser]

Casings probably

Nah, sheets

Used for mk 5 belts

[cunning glade]

Well I wanna scale both down cuz I want spare ingots

[cunning siren]

Good thing all that plastic was stockpiled 🤔

[cunning glade]

Either way I'm making about 1000 of each prolly

[unkempt blade]

depends what recipes you're using

[cunning siren]

What are some of the alts that happen in phase 3 that are "desired"? 🤔

[real shale]

Both are equally needed imo, one for batteries and radio control units, other for Mk5 belts

[limber plaza]

water worked no pump tested before placing down the blueprint u gave me idk how to go about the piping for that

[real shale]

Also need casings for blenders too

[cunning siren]

Got a bunch of hard drives, wondering if I should save em up for phase 4 for a better chance at Diluted Fuel

[cunning glade]

I'm gonna do 1000 sheets a min and 1300 for casing s

[real shale]

Recycled plastic, rubber are nice

[cunning glade]

Still leaves me 1000 ingots

[unkempt blade]

diluted fuel, recycled stuff, pure [metal] ingots, some of the circuit board and computer alts

[cunning siren]

I have yet to use those 😆, maybe I will this run

[real shale]

Diluted fuel you can't get phase 3 no? I thought that was phase 4

[unkempt blade]

HMF alts

you can build the packager one in phase 3

[real shale]

ah I see

[cunning siren]

Ain't nobody got time for all that packager unpakager who-ha

[cunning glade]

Real

[unkempt blade]

it's not too bad if you blueprint it

[cunning glade]

True but I'm too lazy too make them

[vale grotto]

Yeah I just made a blueprint that takes oil and water and spits out fuel and resin, can basically treat it like a big weird blender

[bright echo]

Rain on my factories would be so good right now

[ionic forge]

took me three hours
but i expanded my power grid

I am happy and can rest now

[cunning siren]

One of mah lifts had a malfunction it seems: #screenshots message

[earnest oak]

How many hours would it take an average person to reach phase 4

[south furnace]

[limber plaza]

my blueprint worked finally more power 15 fuel gens using diluted fuel

[cunning glade]

When do we get weather

[cursive crane]

Speedruns have been done in under 8hrs iirc. Take from that what you will

[rugged fjord]

Perfect my other option is iron wire !

[cursive crane]

In reality, it doesnt matter. Enjoy the game at your pace.

[earnest oak]

Damn speed runners

I was thinking like average person yk

I'm on 36hrs ish and I'm just getting to the 3rd space elevator part I have the heavy moduler frames just need whatever is left

This my first time reaching anything higher than t2 so ya take that with a grain of salt

[cursive crane]

Im a competent gamer and it usually take right around 50-100 hours [if im tryna kinda speed through it].
But thats without using coupons to buy materials, raiding drop pods more, etc.

So average? 50-150. Varies.

[earnest oak]

I've raided drop pods but rarely use alt recipes and I've only bought foundations from the shop

I'm on 36 hours am I taking the game too fast?

[cursive crane]

But getting PAST phase 4 is an entirely different conversation lmao

[cursive crane]

Would say thats about average. Does it feel fast to you? Slow down.
Feel like it crawling along? Speed it up. Its really up to you

[earnest oak]

Fair enough I guess

[cursive crane]

Its not a game that you typically compare to other people. Exploration and factory building. Whatever you do is right as long as you enjoy doing it

[last jackal]

The next tier is always a lot longer than the previous tier because that's more or less how the game is structured. You took 36h to do phase 1 and 2, but you might need another 36 to do phase 3. And likely even more to do phase 4.

In the end, nobody cares how you progress. Nobody should care either. It's just you and your factory.

[earnest oak]

Well no I mean I'm working towards phase 4 I just have the last part of it to complete and I've already automated the heavy mod frames

[last jackal]

Have fun with phase 4 when it comes then.

[earnest oak]

We will see with whatever phase 4 give me I have no idea so at the end of the day just expanding is what I can do

[last jackal]

I meant that in a non-sarastic way.

The factory must expand. It simply must.

As for myself. I used less than like 10% of the map before phase 4.

Then I jumped to like 50% of the map for phase 4.

But that was pre 1.0.

[earnest oak]

Oh. Umm ya I ain't gonna have fun 🥀

[last jackal]

Take your time. Nobody judges, nor should judge how you make your factory.

[real shale]

SPAGHETTI, SPAGHETTI EVERYWHERE

[cunning siren]

Rifle with basic AF ammo is surprisingly good 🤔

Can mobs not walk through doors? 🤔 I was in cramped cave in Rocky Desert and built a "Center Door Wall" and the mob did not walk though it? Possible strats

[sterile blade]

I think only pioneers and vehicles can activate doors/gates

[cunning siren]

No, i mean open doors

[sterile blade]

Oh. Well, if they can fit, I think they should be able to get in

I definetly saw it happen, like in the HUB, but dunno if things changed

[cunning siren]

Made a: "Rain explosive rebar from above" while jetpack "tap tap tap" hovering with liquid bio fuel macro. As long as I hold the key, all need to do is aim 😆

Good for those micro cats

TIL: If you make a blueprint of a power tower you can nudge it without the "normal" power tower placement limitations 🤔

[cursive totem]

any1 has an idea why the path signal doesn split the block here?#screenshots message

[silk ocean]

Split the block?

Where is your exit block on that top path?

[shy mulch]

it's a known bug. just delete the track and the signal and place them again

[silk ocean]

Not seeing bugs in that

It looks fine, no bugs

[shy mulch]

the track in the foreground coming from the left, the block signal

the path signal at the front should have different colours each side of it

[silk ocean]

Yea maybe that path signal at the bottom

[shy mulch]

yes I'm sure that's what OP was asking about

[silk ocean]

But need a better screenshot that actually covers the entire area

Not this cropped little bit xD

[shy mulch]

it obviously needs another block signal at the top as you said, but I think it's clear enough without seeing more that the path signal at the bottom isn't working as expected
it's also a known bug that I've experienced 100 times, as have many others, and the solution is just to delete that bit of track and signal and place them again

[silk ocean]

There might be an exit block but it's out of view

[shy mulch]

it's not part of the question though 😛

[silk ocean]

Yea yea I gotcha XD That path signal is working but there should be a color split, but maybe it's just working anyway, it's not a yellow flasher XD

[austere latch]

hi guys im in fase 3 now but what is better to work with one factory where all your resources come together and then being processed or just multiple factories accros the map and one manufacter factory where all the resources come in by train

[silk ocean]

I demand a better screenie XD

[shy mulch]

kinda depends on your play style, both ways are valid

a lot of people will tell you to do independant factories for each thing, some people will tell you it's more fun to bring it all together

if you want to keep things simple, then independent factories are probably the way to go, but I find that boring 😛

[silk ocean]

Play however you like apart from trains... trains are mandatory.. trains everywhere XD

[shy mulch]

MOAR TRAINES

[silk ocean]

CHOO CHOOO

[shy mulch]

FK FK MOTHERCHOOER

[austere latch]

yeah true thanks a lot i think i will try do just do miners by all the nodes and then trains to the main hub/factorie and produce verything there

[cursive totem]

sorry for the small crop lol. there is a block signal at the top juuust outside of frame

[silk ocean]

You can always do 1st stage processing on-site

[shy mulch]

seeeeeee @silk ocean told yaaaaaaaa

[silk ocean]

Yaaaaa but I just wanna see it XD

[austere latch]

yeah treu like iron nodes becomes iron ingot and even iron plates or just ingots?

[silk ocean]

Can't be making no assumptions now can we XD

On the bottom left rail, put a little bit of track in there, very short, and move the path signal back to the start of that little bit of track, that will sort you out

[shy mulch]

I love trains, so I love transporting things around
What I've done is made a rail network to take all the ores to a processing plant over the sea where they all get turned into ingots (combining with water is more efficient than regular ingot recipies), then the ingots get sent on more trains off to "stage 1" factories, where they get made into basic products (max 3 steps of production), then theres more trains that take those basic products into a big factory that does all the endgame stuff

[silk ocean]

Nice plan. Seeing as the 1st stage is unavoidable I tend to just do 1st stage onsite

i.e. I don't transport raw ores around, at the very minimum, Ingots

[austere latch]

thats also i good idea

[shy mulch]

problem with that is space, I know the world is huge, but I made a silly choice to do the ingot production off the east coast of the desert and I've literally got refineries out to the edge of the playable area, and building upwards would ruin the aesthetic, I like the fact that I can see all the train stations, I have about 15 train stations in a row down there

[austere latch]

damnn thats a lot

yeah my world is a lil fu*** up

[silk ocean]

Transporting raw ore to a dedicated megasmelting facility is mildly cool and mildly insane XD

[austere latch]

i have trains transporting oil sulfur en coal for on site producing power idk what the hell i was thinking but yeah

[cursive totem]

yeah, i also had a talk yesterday how the most annoying bug is that placing signals right on the junction splits result in them being broken. but placing it a bit before somehow makes it work lol

[austere latch]

yeah true might give it a chance

[silk ocean]

Yea don't place the path signals right on the split xD

Stick in a bit of a spacer

[cursive totem]

it so annoying tho

would be so much easier and prettier

[silk ocean]

It is mildly annoying but the spacer removes disappointment

Ditch your pre-blocks before the path signals as well, otherwise trains will slow down

Double up your exit blocks

[cursive totem]

oh yeah i noticed that as well. its already slowing down before because the path signal will be blocked until it reaches it

[austere latch]

do you have a sreenshot of your factorie(s)

[silk ocean]

I usually skip the pre-block, and I do 2 exit blocks in rapid succession to clear the path block faster

[cursive totem]

why double exit signs?

ah interesting

[silk ocean]

It clears it quicker

[cursive totem]

how is that noticeable

[shy mulch]

Probably, I don't have the game open at the moment but I'm sure I have screenshots lying around, I'll try find some

[silk ocean]

Trains will be delayed entering the same path, they will slow down / stop

Same story with a close pre-block on the entry

They will start to slow down

[austere latch]

okay thanks i think i will turn my world upside down because the factories i know have are pretty basic and by far not good enough for stage 3 i can't imagine how stage 4 will be like💀

[silk ocean]

They don't compute the path until they are within the pre-block, so if that block is short, they will start to slow down on the assumption the path is not available

If you make the pre-block wide enough, they can enter and the slow-down doesn't need to happen, depending on speed

Similar on the exit, that's why it's good to have double exit block signals very close, they need to clear the exit block to free the path

[cursive totem]

ooooh you mean for other possible trains calculating a path

[silk ocean]

Others but this specific train in this example, say it's traversing the path intersection and you don't want it to slow down

[shy mulch]

I posted in #screenshots I might not have tagged the right person, there's like 100 people with the same username in this discord lol

[cursive totem]

but why would it slow down on exit?

[austere latch]

lol i will have a look thanks

[silk ocean]

It won't slow down on exit, but it means the path isn't cleared as quickly as it could be for the next train

[cursive totem]

ok yeah got it

another thing; can i mix products in the same train station?

[silk ocean]

Basic rule is skip your pre-block and double-up your exit blocks

[austere latch]

damn thats amazing dude i wish i could do that 😅 but i will try it and have a look

[cursive totem]

like say i have two remote factories, that produce A and B and one factory that needs both A and B as input.
i can either build two train stations, one taking A and one B
or one train station with two freight platforms, but then the train needs to have a length of 2, right? i cant have two small trains, one for each remote factory that only fetches that product?

[silk ocean]

Ah yes the WaslstDaz path/block offshore megasmelting facility XD

[silk ocean]

Sure yea, when you stick in the station in the list, there is a cog on it, specify the goods

[cursive totem]

but how does it know in which freight platform to put it?

[silk ocean]

And then as far as the station and belts, you can sushi them with smart splitters, or do it per car/station

Well you can either load by specific car number, or just sushi life

[cursive totem]

by car number?

[silk ocean]

e.g. 2nd freight car loads caterium, unloads at the 2nd car at destination, etc

[true mulch]

Trains are positional. 1st freight platform will load the 1st freight car, 2nd platform the 2nd. You can use empty platforms to space them out

[cursive totem]

but then all trains would need to have 2 cars

i couldnt have small trains for each individual product

[silk ocean]

Yep, so the alternate option is sushi with smart splitters

[cursive totem]

hm i see

[true mulch]

You can mix cargo, but don't do it until you have a hang of trains in general

[silk ocean]

I generally don't mix cargo per-car because you can get into a situation where one supply will dominate and it will never get a chance to offload the smaller supply

[true mulch]

With mixed cargo, you must always sink excess and make sure the train keeps running

[silk ocean]

If you can offload fast enough to clear the station buffer entirely, then mixed cargo is okay

[true mulch]

Without, you can make it wait until empty/full, reducing traffic

[silk ocean]

Yea another option, make it wait

[cursive totem]

so does that mean, if i want to have per-car split products, all train stations involved need to be the same length (each offset with empty platforms to exactly match the one product car, and only the target station having full freight platforms basically)?

[silk ocean]

If you do it per-car then yes they have to match up, don't have to be as long as the train if you accept overhang at the back, but the station positions have to match up

[cursive totem]

hmmmm

[cunning glade]

Hey chat on tool how do I make a factory already making stuff route into the next factory

[silk ocean]

Belts? Trains? Drones? Logistics xD

[cunning glade]

No

[cursive totem]

is it just me that doesnt like trucks and drones because they use fuel 😭

i have having to manage fuel

[cunning glade]

Wait me or him

[silk ocean]

I definitely don't use trucks, and avoid drones if at all possible

Drones are a farce - you have a logistics backnetwork to move the fuel to the drones, may as well just move the goods instead

[cursive totem]

yeah exactly

same with trucks tbh

i dont get why i should ever use them

[silk ocean]

Yep, they are nothing more than a lazy "quickfix" until you build proper solutions, i.e. rail

Ty

If I wanted more aluminum

I could sloop the blenders yes

Or wait can u sloop smelters I don't remember

I think so it's just miners can't be

[silk ocean]

I think you can sloop smelters yea

Bit of a waste of sloops tho xD

[cunning glade]

Just so I have more ingots too work with

Idk maybe I have enough

We will see

[silk ocean]

Generally I would personally save the sloops for the last stage of production, the really expensive part of the chain, e.g. manufacturers taking in 4 high value products

It's easier to just add more smelters than sloop them

[cunning glade]

Fair

Well in this case I'd need more ore

I think I'll be fine tbh

[silk ocean]

Yea ultimately there comes a limit to the miner, even if overclocked xD

[jade frigate]

Does screws have only 2 alternate recipes?

[shy mulch]

it's generally most efficient to sloop the last stage of production, exceptions will be weird edge cases, so you can pretty much rely on that

[silk ocean]

Sloop the particle accelerators, everybody loves power consumption spiking to 21.6 GW

Triple-clocked of course... nothing less would be acceptable xD

I think this factory might end up taking up the entire biome eventually. I need to stop drinking so much when designing 😄

[silk ocean]

Looks nice and drinking helps designing XD

[solemn crystal]

who in the world would sloop a smelter 🙏

[silk ocean]

A rogue person XD

Someone who is wild.. someone who is totally out there.. spaced out

[hexed phoenix]

I sloop the Toilet in Hub to flush more efficiently..

Too much eating of plant based food does that..

[solemn crystal]

technically you cant because you can only sloop crafters(smelters, constructors, foundaries, etc)

[solemn crystal]

well...
if you kill a hog, it drops hog remains, convert that to alien protien, then into an inhaler, and you can finally stop being vegan

My North West picture is a bit different to yours in screenshots xD

[hexed phoenix]

That is correct..

Should set up an Inhaler factory for this purpose..

👍

[solemn crystal]

you can keep drinking happily knowing that you're exploting the planet for FICSIT

[cursive crane]

Ah yes the hog inhaler. My favorite tool right next to the plant inhaler

[silk ocean]

Everybody loves inhaling rotting dead flesh from alien creatures

[shy mulch]

nuuuuukes

[hexed phoenix]

Save a Somersloop, produce Hog Inhalers

[solemn crystal]

sloop the hogs, save a somersloop inhaler

I'd love to be able to craft artificial sloops 😛

[solemn crystal]

🤔

[silk ocean]

If not making Power Shards with the alt, don't forget to sloop your slugs

[solemn crystal]

wait did anyone try slooping the sloops

[shy mulch]

"Don't forget to sloop your slugs"
Should be the new FICSIT tagline

id love a special interaction when you drop a somersloop on a non picked up slug, to convert it to a purple slug, or maybe a special alienada voiceline

[lunar ravine]

I'm having a bit of an issue with my rail system. Just unlocked it and Im toying around with it to get a feel for how it works/operates/performs. I have a simple closed loop system of two stations. I manually drove it through, no issues. but when i set the timetable for the train to self operate.. it says it cant reach the next station?

Is momentum a consideration for station placement?

[reef basin]

the train needs to arrive in a way that the driving locomotive docks to the station

[lunar ravine]

So i need a bit of a straight away for movement overflow?

[reef basin]

no, you need the station to be in correct direction

the arrow is direction of train arrival

Do you ever go food shopping... spend like 100 quid... unload it into the fridge... look at the fridge... and think, did I actually buy any food XD

Supposedly enough for a week and yet the fridge looks devoid of anything useful

[silk ocean]

Well... you need food to survive to build factories, so it's totally related XD

Totally™

I'm on my lunch break at work, I was going to spend it collecting biomass for my biomass burners, but now after that I'm going to spend it collecting biomass for myself, via the fridge

[silk ocean]

It's a productive exercise

Human body is probably more efficient than a biomass burner as well

[shy mulch]

It's all about scalability. My goal in life is to be able to output 30MW

[silk ocean]

From your body? Seems a stretch, on an exercise bike maybe 500W at a guess xD

Certainly enough to charge a few phones

Maybe run a PC

Probably less according to Reddit, a pro cyclist might be able to generate 400W for an hour, which means I could probably generate 200W for 5 minutes xD

[vestal hill]

in early stage two, I went out exploring, hoping to find some steel beams and/or pipes (pipes were more important). I came back with rubber, almost two hundred stators, computers, cooling systems, and much much more. I got 88 steel beams and 0 steel pipes.
this game man

[silk ocean]

They're not super hard to make

[vestal hill]

I don't have steel production yet

didn't have enough rotors and didn't wanna hand craft (im working on a rotor factory)

[silk ocean]

If you don't have them you don't need them, just work through the tiers

[vestal hill]

I know, I wanted SAM fluctuators though

[shy mulch]

Definitely worth automating steel, you'll need plenty of it as you progress

[vestal hill]

I know I need steel, this isn't my first playthrough, just find it funny that I got everything except what I needed

[silk ocean]

SCIM might give you a hint as to which crash sites have steel pipes, maybe

[shy mulch]

Ah, frustrating 😄
Use SCIM to see where the pipes are lying around

[vestal hill]

I don't like using SCIM, I'd rather explore myself

[silk ocean]

In that case it would be far quicker to just level up and make them yourself xD

Instead of drifting around the world for a week

[vestal hill]

don't get me wrong I'm not frustrated or anything I just find it absolutely hilarious that I explored to the end of the world and back and found nitrogen gas & alclad aluminum sheets before steel pipes

got a BUNCH of remains & hard drives though

[silk ocean]

Elusive Steel Pipes... how sneaky of them

[vestal hill]

yep

[silk ocean]

Explored the world for Steel Pipes. Came back with diamonds, wealth and a lot of lizzard doggos... but no Steel Pipes

[vestal hill]

PRECISELY

[silk ocean]

xD

[vestal hill]

even found a BAUXITE vein before steel pipes

[silk ocean]

Found black gold before steel pipes

[vestal hill]

gta 6 will be out before I get my steel pipes

[vestal hill]

hey at least I can probably get smart spllitters unlocked now

[limpid cairn]

I actually wonder how they want to make it run on console

Like, game devs these days don’t give a shit about optimisation nowadays

(Wouldn’t surprise me if they don’t know how to optimise stuff, because I don’t know either 💀)

[silk ocean]

CSS seem to - 1.0 / 1.1 and Unreal 5 is a mega improvement, the game is pretty very well optimized so far

[limpid cairn]

Wouldn’t wonder me if they invested a lot of time and money into optimisation

Because, let’s be real, who could run the game if it wasn’t optimised ?

[silk ocean]

Every video game can use "more" optimization, it's an endless task

[limpid cairn]

But doom can already run everywhere, how do you want to optimise it?

[silk ocean]

Doom is not exactly heavy-weight these days, you can run it on a Fridge

[limpid cairn]

starts to run doom in the space elevator monitor

[silk rose]

Bro just craft them

[limpid cairn]

Some guy ran it on a pregnancy test

[vestal hill]

haven't unlocked yet

and too lazy to hand craft rotors

[silk ocean]

There comes a point where a game is so old optimisation doesn't matter anymore, it just runs on anything xD

Im thinking about loading it up onto my school calc so i can play games on every break

My TI-86 might be able to run it, probably not, but maybe XD

And that is like a 30 year old calculator.. probably not more that I think. It can run wolfenstein in a basic form

[limpid cairn]

Holy old design

Proud to have a TI-30plus

(Fun fact I used it for satisfactory before I knew you could do math in the quick search menu)

[silk ocean]

It's old yea

[limpid cairn]

Ngl math got way to easy since calculators got introduced

[silk ocean]

Numeracy perhaps but math in general is still math

You don't use calculators to write equations to explain the gravitational nature of black holes

[limpid cairn]

Good point

[silk ocean]

But yea, may as well offload the basic stuff like what is 6*12.37265 to a computer xD

Nobody can be bothered with dat poop XD

[limpid cairn]

I don’t think the heat sink is big enough

[silk ocean]

The pregnancy test has hit TjMAX, it's thermally throttling the clockspeed

I still wonder how computers calculate decimal numbers tbh

Like when I put 7.7 + 3.3 in python I get 73.73 afaik

[silk ocean]

Two's compliment / floating point / FPU on the CPU etc

There are some caveats with floating point arithmetic for sure

[limpid cairn]

There’s no thermal throttling, the pregnancy test would melt before it could throttle 😭

[silk ocean]

Yea well that's just Python, you're probably not doing actual arithmetic there, just adding two strings or somethign Python'y

[silk ocean]

Reports you have a baby during the CPU meltdown, then reports incorrect result, then crashes, then meltsdown

[limpid cairn]

Crazy to think about that some hairy human saw a tree and decided to make a computer

[silk ocean]

Totally wild progression

From tree to computer

[hard ivy]

No, 7.7+3.3==11.0
But "7.7"+"3.3"=="7.73.3"

[limpid cairn]

It’s crazy to think about that there’s a big ass particle accelerator next to a big beautiful lake in Geneva

[silk ocean]

Under the said lake and the nearby ridgeline and mountains, yea

[limpid cairn]

I still wonder how they fit that thing under the city

100km circumference for the big ring

[silk ocean]

It's not really a case of "fitting it", it's deep underground xD

You just dig tunnels and stuff

[shy mulch]

Guys who have been in prison know all about 100km rings

[silk ocean]

It's not like you doing traffic control on the streets... Don't mind us... just deploying a massive particle accelerator here

[limpid cairn]

Just is a crazy statement 💀

[silk ocean]

But that's exactly what happens XD

You dig tunnels, what do you think CERN is, floating like a Factory in mid-air? XD

[limpid cairn]

Exactly

@silk ocean do you think we can achieve the same thing the particle accelerator does with hypertubes in satisfactory

[silk ocean]

Like lightspeed hypertubes, would be nice, probably best just use cannons for now until FICSIT develop that upgrade tech for hypertubes xD

or use portals I guess, they are kinda lightspeed, apart from the intentional delay / graphics

[prime rampart]

guys i crafted infused iodine filter how do i like use it

[silk ocean]

Just have it in inventory

Gets auto-used as long as you have a mask on

[prime rampart]

ohhh does it last?

[silk ocean]

You need more than 1

[prime rampart]

i have 2

[silk ocean]

You'll burn through 1 in a matter of a minute in high rad areas

[true mulch]

Hazmat suit for iodine filters

[silk ocean]

I'd recommend at least 100

[prime rampart]

HUH???????

bro how do i automate these

[true mulch]

It lasts proportionally to the radiation

[silk ocean]

In a Manufacturer ?

[true mulch]

As with anything else?

[prime rampart]

yea but like

[silk ocean]

filters

[prime rampart]

to ,make fabric

[true mulch]

Polyester fabric

From polyester resin

[prime rampart]

oh

[silk ocean]

Go to a high radiation environment, that filter will probably last you like 30 seconds

[prime rampart]

like uranium?

[silk ocean]

Yea or waste reprocessing, anywhere where the bar is on the max

Filter no last long xD

[prime rampart]

oh

[limpid cairn]

Accidentally picked up 1 uranium, burned through 50 filters before I realised I had it in my inventory 😕

[silk ocean]

Yea that too, don't carry it around XD

[prime rampart]

who cares ill just keep dying till i automate it

[silk ocean]

Hence why I personally recommend carrying at least 100 filters at any given time, more ideally

100 of each type - Iodine-Infused and standard filters as well, for the poison blight

Load them into the Dimensional Depot and live a happy life xD

[prime rampart]

poison i destory em

OH MY GOD THIS FACTORY TOO EXPENSIVE any1 got blueprint?

for like 3 nuclear

[silk ocean]

Like a blueprint is magically going to make it less "expensive"

Just build nuclear from scratch, you need to build it to understand it, from raw materials, support factories, processing, consumption, reprocessing

[prime rampart]

ok

[silk ocean]

It seems daunting but Uranium isn't that bad

[prime rampart]

how many WATER EXTRACTERS heh

[silk ocean]

As I mentioned before, there is more work in building the support factories than the plant itself, and reprocessing uranium waste isn't too bad

Well a reactor is 240 water/min

[prime rampart]

so 4extractors

[silk ocean]

So a double-clocked extractor, or two standard

[prime rampart]

ok ig 2

#screenshots

[silk ocean]

Focus mainly on the support infrastructure - it's powergen, it needs guaranteed resources

[prime rampart]

huh

uranium and water lets go

[silk ocean]

It's not just Uranium and Water, you need about 5 other materials for reprocessing

[prime rampart]

HUH

[unique kernel]

Welp just finished my aluminum system its small but once I get my fuel reworked it'll be grand

[silk ocean]

Maybe 3 or 4, like Silica, Iron, Steel, Concrete, etc

[prime rampart]

reprocess into whatr

[silk ocean]

You have to reprocess the waste if you want to sink it

[prime rampart]

what is the waste called

[silk ocean]

Not sure from memory, barrels of Uranium Waste

[prime rampart]

wait

[reef basin]

you don't need reprocessing from start though

it's optional

[prime rampart]

HOW DO I EVEN DO ENCASEDE RODS OR WTV

[silk ocean]

It's only optional if you don't want the plant to run indefinitely without human intervention

[reef basin]

there's a codex ingame, use it

[true mulch]

Or the wiki

[reef basin]

well, nothing will run indefinetly without intervention

[raven axle]

Official Satisfactory Wiki

This is the totally awesome community driven wiki for Satisfactory!! Come on in and check it out!
<3 @true mulch

[silk ocean]

Why not, my factory does

[reef basin]

heat death of the universe is a thing

[prime rampart]

guys uranium into what?

[silk ocean]

Can't argue with that XD

[reef basin]

and you can easily just store waste for a long time

[silk ocean]

Yea but I am all about "infinite" sustainability xD

[prime rampart]

URANIUM INTO WHAT

[reef basin]

INTO WHATEVER YOU WANT

[true mulch]

Use a production planner https://satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production
Make at least 0.6 uranium rods/min (that's the bare minimum, double or quadruple that shouldn't be a problem, and you can then sloop to get double)

The codex and wiki also list the usage of each item

[reef basin]

there's tons of planners, tons of codex-like resources, even codex ingame. Use those. 99% of your questions are answered by those

[prime rampart]

ok

[true mulch]

I linked you a planner...

[silk ocean]

You don't even "need" a planner - just use the in-game codex, tells you all you need to know

[limpid cairn]

Yup

[prime rampart]

this doesnt tell me how to craft

[unique kernel]

My starter aluminum system is a 250% bauxite (600pm) going into 3 sloppy alumina refinerys which go into 3 electrode aluminum scrap refinerys and from there 8 pure ingot smelters at 250% iirc and im purifying some copper for alclad sheeting and casings combine that with some rubber and ive got heatsinks

[silk ocean]

Yes it absolutely does

[prime rampart]

OH MY GOD

[silk ocean]

Tells you exactly what machine to use

[prime rampart]

how am i supposed to start all this

[reef basin]

one step at a time, like any other previous project

[unique kernel]

What bro trying to make?

[prime rampart]

nah nah not one step at a time bro

[silk ocean]

Nuclear Powah

[prime rampart]

ive never used 29 producers

[silk ocean]

Yea just start in the corner and logically work it through

[reef basin]

the game scales up all the time

29 is very low number

[silk ocean]

Leave plenty of space in the yard for expansion, build a lot of foundations, and just work it through logically step by step

[prime rampart]

time to make this floaty igh

[unique kernel]

Hah lol Im just now remodeling my fuel power plant cuz i had to intergrate my aluminum into it for blenders

[silk ocean]

Noice xD I have a fuel plant earmarked for rebuild at some point too xD

[prime rampart]

i need every resource available for this

[silk ocean]

You'll believe me at the end of your build when I say that most of the work with nuclear is the logistics and support factories xD

[prime rampart]

this is scary

[unique kernel]

Rn its 1 blender running 4 250%OC fuel gens once I get sulfer and some coal in ill make blended turbo and nitro rocket cuz turns out the islands is a prime location for a fuel power station

[limpid cairn]

You start with placing the first building and keep going

[unique kernel]

Yea repeat for the next 20 years LGIO style

[prime rampart]

which building thats what i mean

[agile knoll]

does foliage regrow?

[limpid cairn]

Dw that’s not a lot, I’m using 84 manufactures atm

[unique kernel]

Depends what are you making first?

[prime rampart]

encased uranium fuel rods

[unique kernel]

U mean cells iirc its the assembler

[prime rampart]

THERE AINT NO CELLS IN ASSEMBLER

[thorny glen]

hi i have small questions about gameplay

i assume i can type here

[hard ivy]

Check the goddamn codex

[silk ocean]

Go for it xD

[prime rampart]

let me show yall the codex

[limpid cairn]

Press o

[thorny glen]

so i was playing with a friend and i was wondering if there are good options for how to build early on, like pre second space elevator shipment, idk what to put effort in to or will it all just get deleted later when i upgrade

[unique kernel]

Yea mbad theres 2 options the blender for default or manufacturer for the alt. Recipe which is better

[prime rampart]

whats better\

[hard ivy]

I know damn well what is in the codex

[prime rampart]

i cant even pLACE A BLENDER GUYS

yo guys i should invite yall and we all do this together

[unique kernel]

The Alt called "infused uranium cells"

[silk ocean]

You might find as you get to Tier 3+ you end up rebuilding the starter factory but as a general rule, try to use foundations always, and try to logically space things out for expansion, but in those early tiers don't worry too much, you'll almost certainly end up replacing that stuff in the future

[limpid cairn]

🙏🙏🙏 please don’t torture us

[thorny glen]

also how would i know whats a good upgrade to get with hard drives, and are recipes in any way manipulated by taking one/ not taking any?

[unique kernel]

Do you have them unlocked?

[prime rampart]

YES

not alt recipe

[prime rampart]

first volunteer

who has a blueprin t for this logistics or wtv

[unique kernel]

Ok the default is in the blender takes sulfuric acid uranium and concrete to make

[hard ivy]

I'm frankly baffled you even managed to get to the point where you can build nuclear

[prime rampart]

lol

[unique kernel]

Dm me I can explain it better

[prime rampart]

i dont have computers automated and yall want me to do this

[silk ocean]

IT'S a micacle xD

[prime rampart]

oh my god ty

[prime rampart]

no i handcxrafted my way to phas3

[limpid cairn]

Ngl send me an invite to your world or what ever I need i wsnt to see how your world looks 💀

[silk ocean]

Generally ask in chat if any doubt xD

[prime rampart]

no destroy pls

[silk ocean]

masochist XD

[limpid cairn]

Why would I do that?🤔

[prime rampart]

dms

[hard ivy]

Why even play at that point?

[silk ocean]

It does beg questions of sanity and why play at all yes xD

[prime rampart]

why play? bc its fun

GUYS ITS MY FIRST PLAYTHROUGH PLS!

[hard ivy]

If standing at the crafting bench for hours is fun for you then you do you I guess

[limpid cairn]

tbh i did the same thing in my first playthrough

[prime rampart]

it was my first time breh

[silk ocean]

In a game of automation, do you think that your idea of automation is pressing space bar and alt+tabbing out?

[prime rampart]

never pressed space GUys i went eXploring and got the materials so i decided to handcraft my way god

[hard ivy]

Nah, I never handcrafted anything unless doing that would make automating it easier

[limpid cairn]

@silk ocean

how do i join via steam connect links?

[hard ivy]

Now I don't handcraft anything because sloops exist

[limpid cairn]

ah i found it

[silk ocean]

Erm xD What is that 😄

[silk ocean]

I love a bit of eXploring too

[limpid cairn]

guys the guy isnt even that bad

[silk ocean]

Which guy xD

[reef basin]

and it should teach you to not handcraft

[limpid cairn]

sytelic

[silk ocean]

Yeah he's fine

Apart from the hand crafting xD

[left totem]

we couldn't know that when buying satisfactory, we were supposed to be making factories

[red sun]

the funny/concerning part is you're the second person i've seen who has done this

i beg of you to start again and play satisfactory rather than just satis

[silk ocean]

Are you actually on the nuclear tier @prime rampart xD

[red sun]

unless you're enjoying yourself standing at a crafting bench in which case weird but you do you, long as you're having fun i suppose

if you do decide to play again puh-lease listen to ada

[silk ocean]

Sooo... what is steam links

[plucky flower]

Are there like any voice channels?

[silk ocean]

You shall embrace the keyboard in this realm xD

[outer hatch]

Getting back on nuclear though, I'm planning my first foray into it - finished phase 5 on turbofuel - and my conclusion is that, it's not worth it to try and squeeze every additional bit of plutonium through alts, because there won't be enough SAM->Ficsite->Ficsonium to valorise/waste-process them anyway. (Trying to squeeze out some is A-OK though).

Is that a fair assessment?

[silk ocean]

I personally haven't gone far into nuclear, most of my powergen is Fuel-based

[ripe basin]

Peace in jelly cats for everyone

[silk ocean]

I see Nuclear as a 2-step process. Either you go as far as Uranium+reprocessing+sink, or you take the red pill and see how far the rabbit hole goes. aka. Plutonium, Ficsonium, Reprocessing. Once you go down that rabbit hole you're committed xD

[limpid cairn]

@hard ivy@silk ocean i lowkey need a bit of bleach

at least he somehow invented a new way of spaghetti belts

[silk ocean]

Bleach? What is this murder cleanup detail xD

[limpid cairn]

@glad drum something you should look into

[prime rampart]

I HAVE FACTORIES

ask @limpid cairn

[limpid cairn]

indeed

[prime rampart]

just not big big ones

[reef basin]

no, they were removed due to being too problematic to moderate

[frozen shoal]

Sad adults need to be babysat

[silk ocean]

I can see why there is no voice, it's too hard to moderate and needs constant babysitting

[outer hatch]

... if I overclock some Nuclear Reactors to 250% and other to 150%, I can have my waste already well proportioned for NFU + Pellet production, without having to split afterwards, correct?

... is what I thought, but thinking it through, it would only displace the balancing in front of the NR with the UFR, right?

(Didn't mean to answer, sorry >.>)

[silk ocean]

Erm.. can I say... Yes? xD

I can open up my server if you want to look but it's really nothing special xD

[shy mulch]

Most don't. A very small amount do. But those who do make so much noise about it and are so annoying it's just not worth bothering to leave that door open

[true mulch]

As usual, few ruin it for many

[cunning glade]

26 hours in on this playthrough I'm watching the guy is still using a bus

I think factorio permanently alters ur brain

[dawn path]

is there a way to "remove" or change atmospheric filters in this game? when i disable Fog with the console, night time becomes PITCH BLACK in certain areas, which i thought would be really cool for a build. any suggestions?

[silk ocean]

How far away are you building xD Fog has never been a build problem xD

Building from space

[dawn path]

oh it's not a build problem lmao, but this build focuses mainly on aeshetics and vibe, and for it to truly hit that, i want it to be fully black at nighttime (just like when you disable fog and fly up for a few sec)

cause i think we can both agree that pic 1 goes harder than pic 2 #screenshots message

atleast if the desired vibe has spooky undertones

[silk ocean]

Let me just close the blinds and turn all the remaining lights out and I'll get back to you when I can see something XD

Kidding, I live in a dungeon xD

[dawn path]

that's the point, you aren't supposed to see anything aside from the occasional floodlights every km 🙃

[silk ocean]

1 is definitely more... environmental?

[dawn path]

the only visible things in this layer of my structure will the tiny headlights of trucks roaming the dunes

because why not

[glad drum]

What is this about

[silk ocean]

Yea it's kinda cool

[limpid cairn]

lifts connected to lifts connected to lifts

[glad drum]

Oh yeah I do that, I just don't LOVE the way it looks a lot of the time because my world is more curvy

I have said I'd love to see a world ONLY doing that

[limpid cairn]

#screenshots message if you need photios

[glad drum]

It's beautiful 🥲

Have you done any 45 degree lifts

[cunning glade]

Theoretically u can beat the game with a bus?

[limpid cairn]

its not my world lol

[dawn path]

huh strange... the wiki mentions a r.Atmosphere [0/1] console command but it does absolutely nothing

doesnt exist as of 1.1 apparently

[cunning glade]

Is that all u do is disable fog?

[glad drum]

This is the reason I'll never disable fog ever again

[dawn path]

it's all i can do it seems, unfortunately
wish there was a way to get rid of environmental filters as well but oh well

[cunning glade]

Wonder if reshade could help u there

[dawn path]

this is precisely why i have it disabled 🙃 although depends on whether or not you wanna see your build lmao

[dawn path]

reshade?

[cunning glade]

Its normally a program I use too fix HDR for games

[glad drum]

That's fair - My factory is too confusing to also lose my sight lmao

[cunning glade]

But u can do a lot with it in singleplayer games

So u might be able too do something with it for this im not sure tho

[limpid cairn]

basically reworks the shaders of games for better quality and light effects

really good programm

[prime rampart]

send me ur train station

[dawn path]

that sounds learny 😓

[limpid cairn]

its not

[limpid cairn]

ill do when im on sf again

[prime rampart]

When is that

Today is my break day i almost tuined my whole pc

Ige watched several yt videos

[cunning glade]

Tuned? If so how

[prime rampart]

RUINED

its already tweaked though

[cunning glade]

Oh

More so meant what but nvm then

[limpid cairn]

evening

[prime rampart]

How many hours

[silk ocean]

24 in a day, 8760 in a year

[unkempt fern]

so running a local multiplayer world with a friend placing a convyor belt throughtput manager down on belt crashes game but only when friend places when i do same thing in tht spot(as host) nada happens

tried doing it in other spot too and its this 1 specific spot that causes it

[frozen shoal]

Fair. It'd also why 8 dknt participate in vc in discord

[silk ocean]

What's a throughtput manager ?

[true mulch]

You can beat the game without building a single conveyor belt

[true mulch]

Monitor?

[unkempt fern]

auto correct the item that goes on belt and tells u how much is going pass it

[silk ocean]

Oh right yea that thing

Logistics -> Conveyor Throughput

No idea re - crashy crash

Don't put it in that spot? xD

Remake the belts

Not sure what else to suggest

[cunning glade]

True but this guy 26 hours in still doesn't know how too tame dogs

[feral geyser]

In fairness, the game doesn't tell you how to do it

[shy mulch]

I don't think I'd have even realised you could if I didn't read the wiki

[cunning glade]

This guy is doing a blind playthrough

So yeah I can understand

[shy mulch]

Perfectly reasonable then

[cunning glade]

I mean I figured it out

But I also played ark

[shy mulch]

How's his progress after 26h

[true mulch]

26 hours is nothing

[lime mural]

when you say dog do you mean direr wolf?

[grim ermine]

Ark mentioned?

[shy mulch]

I'd be surprised if as many as 1 out 1000 players figure out how to tame a doggo within 26hrs without external information/prompting

[cunning glade]

#screenshots

[silk ocean]

Totally have to wiki how to tame a doggo

[limpid cairn]

ME TOOO

[cunning glade]

Can I link his channel in here im at work so can't really show much more easily or in that channel

[limpid cairn]

i sadly have 16k hours in it

[shy mulch]

that's quite fast for a blind first playthrough

[grim ermine]

16k IS CRAZY i though 9k was a lot

[silk ocean]

Ain't nobody taming a doggo from first principles. You need a minimum of wiki, YT, and AI

[cunning glade]

Lil indigestion is the guy's name on yt

[limpid cairn]

tbh 16k isnt a lot, everyone i know have 20-30k hours

well its still a lot, just not compared to others

[grim ermine]

Makes sense

I miss playing ark back in the day 😔

[limpid cairn]

Same

tbh the game was still somewhat good before aquatica released

its genuinely insane how a company messes up a dlc that bad

[cunning glade]

Yes it taught me how too tame doggos

[grim ermine]

Ever since ark survival ascended released its just gone down hill

[cunning glade]

I tried all the ark methods one of them worked

[cunning glade]

Real

[silk ocean]

Isn't ARK another game like Satis where it's like, let's create the VisualStudio project, not sure what to call it yet, let's make the project name DinosaurGame... <10 months later> oh it's too much effort to rename let's just stick with DinosaurGame xD

[limpid cairn]

pve maybe, pvp was SUPER ALIVE during the span from asa release to aquatica release

[cunning glade]

Ig

[grim ermine]

Well yeah I played both but mostly pvp. Pvp is still pretty chill

Lizard doggos are literally just moschops 😭

[limpid cairn]

did you play win10 ark or what?

[grim ermine]

Steam

And win10 sometimes

[limpid cairn]

what server since we dont share any unless you left them?

[grim ermine]

I left most of them. I played a lot of INX

[feral geyser]

Eww

Non-satisfactory talk

Other games, yuck

[limpid cairn]

its satisfactory related

[grim ermine]

Extremely relavent to satisfactory

[feral geyser]

So not at all about something else, like, for example, ARK?

[grim ermine]

No definitely not.

[lunar ravine]

I just want to say: I really appreciate satisfactory letting me build free standing aerial foundations.

[grim ermine]

Yeah i love the freedom satisfactory gives you when building as a whole

[lunar ravine]

With enough concrete and iron plates, no mountain is unscalable.

because the Bauxite i need is right above my Oil rigs.. and uh, i have a tube there. THEREFORE!! I have a tube to bauxite now too

[leaden dome]

thats convenient for electrode scrap

[lunar ravine]

its just... uh.. A lot of stairs

[grim ermine]

You got a screenshot of these shenanigans?

[lunar ravine]

One moment and i shall

We allowed to post SS in this channel or is there a dedicated one?

[grim ermine]

Send it in

#screenshots I meant

[feral geyser]

Oh lord lol

[grim ermine]

Its a masterpiece

[lunar ravine]

I care not for form when trailblazing, only convinience.

And this... Was very convinient

I'll get one from the top

[feral geyser]

This is basically "make it exist first, you can make it perfect later" lol

[shy mulch]

Ah, a fellow ramp enjoyer

[lunar ravine]

It is truly the greatest way to be

Unfortunately, there is an irradiated beastie at the top with a massive aura of angry geiger counter noises

I'd kill for actual AP rounds instead of these piddly tracer rounds

[mental geode]

@grim ermine can you show me your base and its power supply pls ?
I don't now if my power supply its enough for final part

[lunar ravine]

He fell off, landed on the ramps, and started charging back UP the ramps. I guess even beasts can enjoy a good ramp.

[grim ermine]

Im only on phase 2

Im making 25GW

[mental geode]

no bro 😭

[silk ocean]

ShooterGame.. had to install it to check, that's ARK xD

[nocturne condor]

ada mentioned gas filters need to be replaced every now and then, do they actually or is that just a throw away line?

[cursive phoenix]

guys is 20 computers per min good enough?

[silk ocean]

Forget about "is it enough", just make what you need

[cursive phoenix]

idk how much i need ngl

[silk ocean]

Neither does anyone

Make what you need, make more when you need more

[red sun]

1. make a factory
2. turns out it's not big enough
3. repeat

[shy mulch]

I'm making 87.5/min computers. That's exactly the amount I need. You might need more. You'll probably need less. Decide what you want to build and calculate backwards to see what you need

[silk ocean]

There's no point quoting numbers like that. That is your factory. Every factory is different

Just make what you need

[shy mulch]

Exactly 😛

[silk ocean]

xD

These questions "I'm making x/min of z.. is it enough?" these questions are cute and I get it, but there is no answer to it xD

[shy mulch]

They fall into the same category as "which of these alts should I pick"

[silk ocean]

Yea answer to that is get all of them xD

[shy mulch]

"Look at this pic of my factory, is it ok?" 😒

[silk ocean]

How do you even answer that also XD

"Yes?" xD

[shy mulch]

I usually tell them
"Does it work and are you happy with it?"
If both of those are yes, then it's a good factory

[silk ocean]

Sensible

[silk ocean]

Net result of said conversation is just make what you need 🙂 If you need more in future, make more, etc xD

It's a long journey to the end and you might re-engineer parts of your fac, get alt recipes, etc. It's impossible to know if whatever you're making right now is enough for the future. Could be enough, could be not enough, could be more than enough

[lunar ravine]

This conversation reminds me that i need to rebuild my entire distro floor. I am not looking forward to this

[silk ocean]

FICSIT need to provide nuclear missiles from space for this purpose

A bit like NOMAD in The Creator movie

Nuke it from LEO

[shy mulch]

I'm confident mine is worse. One day I may make a video of going through my logistics floor, it's almost 1km long

[lunar ravine]

Mine is on the small side, but im modding, so its a lot of teleporty conveyers everywhere going between 15 factory floors.

and i have to effectively redo all of it

[shy mulch]

@lunar ravine https://discordapp.com/channels/370472939054956546/553550313533997057/1422879486470258811 view from above, I'll share a view from inside eventually

[shy mulch]

why would you do that to yourself lol

[lunar ravine]

Extremely convinient because it auto-manifolds.

But you have to place all the outputs then the only input or vice versa. So its very limited.

Still... it condenses the factory and makes it a lot neater to go around on a much smaller footprint. Somehow still became spaghetti

[silk ocean]

Foxy I should remind you that you are chatting with someone who logistically moves in raw ore to a gigantic offshore smelting facility instead of just smelting it at source XD

[lunar ravine]

I laid down 4km of mk2 pipe just to refine my oil at home. Sir, you are talking to Kin here

We are all of the same madness

[unkempt blade]

as long as you're using vehicles to move the ore I support your insanity otherwise we need to get you help

[silk ocean]

Trains in this case xD

[lunar ravine]

So, you remember that aerial view of my giga-ramp?

Time to build a hypertube going straight up to essentially render it moot

[unkempt blade]

did you send factory carts up the ramp?

[lunar ravine]

Not yet! But i'll think about it. Its a bit windy

[silk ocean]

Windy? What is this Storm Amy

[silk ocean]

Windey ? xD

[elfin trellis]

how do u guys not quit
im 634 hours and i think i've completed only like.. 4 phases

i always go in, then quit, and then start anew cuz i cba remembering all the shit and a clean state is very intruiging

how do u handle this? im def not alone in this?

[shy mulch]

Everyone plays at a different pace. Do what makes you happy

[silk ocean]

You look at the price of Triple-A games on Steam, and that motivates you to just make another Factory XD

[unkempt blade]

I have a notebook on my computer for what I had planned/what I was working on and I use a lot of signs in game to tell me what existing stuff does

[lunar ravine]

I hyperfixate on things and put in 14+ hour sessions until i burn out, pass out, and repeat until i have work the next day. It's not healthy, but I enjoy it

[silk ocean]

or you spend 500 hours building and enhancing your current factory, which is basically my current situation xD

[elfin trellis]

i kinda want to finish the game lol

everytime i make a 3-7day break i cba return to my current save, i dont know whats wrong with my head

[silk ocean]

then you look at Steam again.. oh DOOM Eternal is still 70 quid... back to factory XD

[elfin trellis]

doom eternal is like 4 euros now

[shy mulch]

Try to build small modular factories, that will break it up more and make it feel more manageable

[silk ocean]

Wat xD

[elfin trellis]

cant post screens here, check steam lol

[feral geyser]

Mega sales going on now till the 6th

[elfin trellis]

im amazed how satisfactory is 97% positivbe with 120k+ reviews

[feral geyser]

The whole bundle for Sanctum is on sale too

[elfin trellis]

i htink i have all the factory games except factorio cuz cba with those graphics

[silk ocean]

I don't mean Eternal.. I'm an idiot. I mean Dark Ages xD

It's -33% £46.89 on the Autumn Sale. Far too expensive for what is at most 30 hours playtime for me

[elfin trellis]

yea fuck those expensive games bro

[unkempt blade]

yeah I bought 3 more copies of satisfactory instead of a $70 game

it's just better value

[silk ocean]

If you have 8 hands and 4 heads... TOTALLY WORTH IT

I can play 4 instances of Satisfactory... at the same time omg

[elfin trellis]

i also have like 300h in DSP and havent finished it as well with multiple saves starting over again and again..

hopefully i'll finish these 2 games in the next years, waiting for a new update to come back to any of these

[silk ocean]

Just admit you bought 3 more copies because you need more factory carts and you hit the limit on one server....

[wheat chasm]

Hey guys, recently started playing. Trying to get a grasp for what I should be doing, I recently finished phase 1 of the space ship. Should I be deleting my smart plating construction and what not and just use the original system from phase 1 or would you make a complete separate automation and keep the base stuff from phase 1

[unkempt blade]

I made some AI friends for when my real friends are offline. They just run around and crash the power grid like the real thing so I don't feel lonely

[elfin trellis]

u can add AI bots to satisfactory lo0l?

[silk ocean]

How cute. My heart sobs. Are they driving factory carts if not GTFO

[elfin trellis]

i mean do what u think is best my friend

[feral geyser]

Don't delete old setups, just keep bringing more raws

[unkempt blade]

I'd leave it running, you'll need more smart plates later

[lunar ravine]

Smart plating is a component of future parts. Hold onto it. Move it if you want, but having a stockpile isnt a bad idea

[feral geyser]

Also, get smart splitters ASAP, they help you keep your existing factories running, but siphon off the mats it is not using.

[lunar ravine]

Oh and... Get comfortable with the idea of rebuilding your factory over and over again because you had an epiphany of how to make it more efficient

[unkempt blade]

Resist the urge to do this, a running factory has value. Just go make a second factory and make it prettier 😆

[silk ocean]

Resist the urge to build 117 Factory Carts but you might do

[lunar ravine]

No, i can REBUILD IT!!!

[unkempt blade]

what I don't do is rebuild a truck station and move it 30m to be prettier causing me to have to re-record a perfectly functional route 😆

[lunar ravine]

.. or just... Make a prettier one, pipe everything into it, delete the old one, realize i made a mistake and repeat the process, repeat the process, repeat the pro-....

[silk ocean]

What I do is not build a truck station in the first place XD

[lunar ravine]

Even before i modded, i never used trucks. Just really, really long conveyers

[unkempt blade]

but vehicles make the world feel so much more interesting!

[summer raptor]

give usss placeable natureee entitiess

like trees

[silk ocean]

I build a truck station and truck and set it all up and then drop from space a train station and crush all of that poop into the swamp mud XD

[unkempt blade]

you're supposed to make a tree BP out of beams the way god and nature intended

[summer raptor]

and a grass texture for foundations paired with it lmcao

[lunar ravine]

All is Concrete and Steel. As God Intended.

[summer raptor]

Im trynna go for that frutiger aero era

[lunar ravine]

If we werent meant to pave the entire map and turn it into one massive factory, the resource nodes wouldnt be endless, now would they?

[summer raptor]

some of us are trying to build something aesthethically pleasing not an endless void of constructors and smelters

[silk ocean]

Basically sums up my factory xD

[lunar ravine]

My Aesthetic is endless smelters, constructors, and manufacturers

[unkempt blade]

you mean aesthetically pleasing like this? #screenshots message

[silk ocean]

Oh dear god xD

[summer raptor]

That is pretty cool

[silk ocean]

What's on top of it... the rainbow tears machine?

[unkempt blade]

the elevator went up the middle through the top and there are drone ports on the roof that fed a mall

[silk ocean]

[unkempt blade]

this is the top/inside #screenshots message

[summer raptor]

Are you part of the lgbtq community

[unkempt blade]

rainbows are cool as shit no matter how someone identifies

[silk ocean]

You built a mall inside this xD

It is cool not gonna lie

[summer raptor]

honestly

[unkempt blade]

yeah the top level is the mall and there are a bunch of factory layers under it

[summer raptor]

Nuclear power factory shaped like that rainbow puke emoji

When

[silk ocean]

I kinda like it.. it's a bit out there

[feral geyser]

Aren't we all

[summer raptor]

purr

[limpid cairn]

how

[summer raptor]

lmaoooo

[limpid cairn]

at phase 4 i was making 16gw

[silk ocean]

You're almost making enough for 1 particle accelerator that is triple clocked and slooped xD

[limpid cairn]

isnt he making enough?

pretty sure it only takes 20gw of power max

[silk ocean]

There's actually a full shopping mall inside that Face? xD

[summer raptor]

20 million bomboclat kw

For a particle accelerator

[silk ocean]

You need more than that xD

[summer raptor]

how much power does a particle accel use irl

[limpid cairn]

a lot

[silk ocean]

IRL?

Yea a lot

[limpid cairn]

1.3 TWH

[silk ocean]

200 MW?

[silk ocean]

It's a lowercase h

[limpid cairn]

shhh

[silk ocean]

KYO we have an SI breaker here xD

[shy mulch]

Also TWh is an amount of energy, not an amount of power

the question was about power, so it's measured in TW

[feral geyser]

kkkkW

[silk ocean]

Power is not measured by TWh xD

[limpid cairn]

the first thing on google said TWh

im playing chromium engine for that

[silk ocean]

Well I guess it is but seems a bit strange xD

[shy mulch]

first thing on google for what?

[silk ocean]

Satis has a magic ability to produce but it's more about what is consumed. It really needs to learn from Factorio, that powerchart is so much better, updates like 60 times per sec. The Satisfactory power chart is like a kids video game

[limpid cairn]

i mean factorio is also harder imo

[silk ocean]

Not really

[limpid cairn]

yes it is

[silk ocean]

Different but not harder

[limpid cairn]

I lost my entire base because of 1 mistake

[silk ocean]

How do you "lost an entire base" xD

[limpid cairn]

nuclear power

[silk ocean]

That makes even less sense

[limpid cairn]

spitters kinda broke through our wall and broke the nuclear construct I was building

Then kaboom I crashed out and ragequit

[silk ocean]

More flame cannons

Artillery trains xD

Radars. Blow them up

[fluid moss]

Satisfactory runs on Linux?

[feral geyser]

I've heard yes

[silk ocean]

What, using Proton?

It should run natively imo

If CDPR and Cyberpunk 2077, which runs really well on Linux, all games should xD

[grim ermine]

I turn 2400 oil into fuel and burn it in 80 fuel burners

[limpid cairn]

Can’t you run any game on Linux as long it doesn’t have an kernel anti cheat?

[grim ermine]

Also i have 2400MW from my coal plant

[mortal ginkgo]

"Linux bros doing 3458038452 things in their Linux setup just to be able to press Play button."

[limpid cairn]

And have support for Linux (which isn’t hard iirc)

[limpid cairn]

Sudo apt install satisfactory

[mortal ginkgo]

That can be so hard you would be surprised. An Unreal project of mine refused to work in Linux because it didn't like an addon that Unreal had which I didn't use in the first place and the errors weren't even leading to that plugin.

I just simply assume having a Linux is like having a Husky as a pet. You don't know when the tantrum gonna start, but you know it eventually will.

[limpid cairn]

Sounds like a skill issue to me 😛

[mortal ginkgo]

God damnit brotherman of mine in century.

I mean, I admit that. But I also don't want to make things be compatible outside Windows. Windows is painful as it is.

[limpid cairn]

We should force Microsoft into using a Linux type kernel for w12

[grim ermine]

i was using 4GW+ before i finished phase 2 LOL

[limpid cairn]

💀

[silk ocean]

Can run many yea, some take effort

[limpid cairn]

All Linux needs to run is league❤️

[silk ocean]

All Linux needs is Linux builds xD

[limpid cairn]

queues up for 10h just to loose 15 games 😆

[limpid cairn]

All Linux needs is a cmd executable and APT

[feral geyser]

All Linux needs is to go away

[silk ocean]

Erm no xD What Linux needs is proper support and dedicated builds

[feral geyser]

(Cue the angry folks)

[limpid cairn]

What???

I'm fairly warning you, I have no idea what Linux even does compared to Windows, nor am I programmer with any skin in the game. This was a purely inflammatory statement.

[grim ermine]

not entirely decorated and doesnt look great but it works for now

[unkempt blade]

ok I got chili cooking so now I'm back to what really matters in life which is of course factory carts

[feral geyser]

The orange looks sick

[feral geyser]

You gonna send me a bowl??

[grim ermine]

i love it too

[unkempt blade]

only if I can send it via factory cart

[limpid cairn]

Linux does nothing more but also nothing less than windows, it’s just an alternative for people who value privacy and don’t want Microsoft bloated apps everywhere on their operating system. But the main point is that it’s horrible when 1 company rules the market without any competition that’s what I’m trying to say

[feral geyser]

Approved

[silk ocean]

It's not just that. It's a fundamental open source requirement and the fact that a megacorp won't just say "Oh you need a TPM 2.0 or Secure Boot to update". That kind of assfuckery that Linux generally doesn't do and doesn't piss legit users off

[limpid cairn]

also, some Linux distros have the hollywood command

Also it doesn’t tax 8gb ram of you

[feral geyser]

This is what I read just now:

Δβσν σβαβφκ σννρξ σντηχ σηρξνδ

sounds like an average math formula

Don't try translating it, it's button mash

im trying to transport 3 480 belts of 3 different raw materials back to my factory with this trainline (in the screenshot) and i was thinking that i should have a train with 3 freight wagons. but im unsure if ill need two trains. ive never used trains before :)

[steady glade]

im sorry what?

[feral geyser]

You probably only need 2 cars

[steady glade]

3000 belts or items?

[feral geyser]

Three 480-belts

[grim ermine]

3 belts of 480

[steady glade]

o shit my bad

[grim ermine]

shouldve been more clear LOL

[steady glade]

then ye one train is prbably fine

ideally ensure it has buffers and try to work out a standard for trains and platforms

[grim ermine]

whats the easiest way i can test i am getting the full throughput

[steady glade]

try it, the platforms will tell you how many items are going in/out

and im not sure what you consider full throughput

do you mean from the point of view of the 3 belts or of the train?

[grim ermine]

i mean so i am getting 480/m out of the train station at my factory

[bleak dust]

Hi... I don't really know if it's a bug, but my level 3 conveyor belt moves 120 units per minute of an excavator that mines 240 units/m, yet my excavator still gets saturated with ore. But the level 3 belt should move 270 units/m.... Any help?

[steady glade]

you'd probably be getting 960 out of the 1st platform, and 480 out of the 2nd on the conditions that your factory can consume it all, and that the input station isnt too far from the output station

you'll have to time your round trip first, then let the train run for an hour or so to find out how much buffer seems to pile up

[grim ermine]

alright

[steady glade]

that means a mk2 belts in on the line somewhere

look closely at the belt, you'll see that the items seem to move slower than the belt's animation

[bleak dust]

I can assure you that no

[steady glade]

do the items move in a stuttering way or do they move smoothly but slower than the belt's animation?

if the items stutter, you probably dont consume all of them

if they move slower than the belt's animation, you really should consider inspecting the entire line with the dismantle tool, there may be a tiny section of mk2 belt either in the transport line or in the manifold, or you're using a mk2 lift

the belts aren't bugged, i can assure you its more likely because of a skill issue rather than some bug

[bleak dust]

OMG... 1 block of the tape was lvl 2 and it was bottlenecking me

I looked at what you said about the animation and found the mistake.

my bad

[steady glade]

its cool

[split cosmos]

i pushed something and now i feel slower... help?

[feral geyser]

Context needed

[split cosmos]

idk, i feel like walking is slower than usual? idk

[hexed phoenix]

Dont see a toggle for Run/Walk so can't be that..

I'd probably just reload game and see if that fixes it

[feral geyser]

Did you crouch lock somehow?

[cunning glade]

I think I wanna make blenders kinda the center piece in my aluminum factory just need too figure out how

Cuz like imo blenders look cooler than most machines

[split cosmos]

idk, i dont feel like it

[tawdry charm]

Yo is satisfactory addicting like dr@gs? Cus i jos got it

[elfin trellis]

ye

[tawdry charm]

Why did i buy it then...

[cunning glade]

Yes

[half ingot]

god oil shenanigans are so funny

diluted fuel my beloved

somehow my 20x Computer factory is also going to be a 9.75GW powerplant as a side hustle

[prime rampart]

u back?

[cunning glade]

Cuz it's amazing I'm having withdrawals rn thinking about planning my factory at work

[onyx halo]

Who can help me set up traffic control for my trains? These path and block signals seem to be throwing a fit about how my railway loops......

[cunning glade]

Idk how I wanna do this next one now

[tawdry charm]

Why are all satisfactory players like grown up men?

[cunning glade]

Normally path then block

[cunning glade]

Uh I mean I've been playing this game since I was 16 I don't think I'm that old

[half ingot]

can you send a screenshot of the offending section of railway in #math-and-meta ?

[cunning glade]

Also a majority aren't?

[onyx halo]

Yea, give me one sec

[cunning glade]

Also why do u care?

The game is fun?

[tawdry charm]

idk, its just that almost every time i see a player on somwhere in satisfactory its mostly grown men.

[cunning glade]

I mean it's a factory building game with math

[half ingot]

because games like this are mouse traps for engineers

[cunning glade]

But again why care

If ur a girl and want other women too play with find some🤷

[feral geyser]

I follow plenty of women streamers who play this game

There are plenty of women in here who are very smart and helpful with this game

[cunning glade]

Real

[feral geyser]

In fact, we are all women when we are in the game

[tawdry charm]

30 more mins till it downloads and i need to go sleep since its late 😭

[rich parrot]

"Grown man" sounds way too grand. "40 year old child with lots of real life responsibilities" would be more accurate.

[tawdry charm]

Over 18 i meant :)

[mortal ginkgo]

I will be real with you folks: Nothing really beats going coal for power in this game.

its like a huge burden off your chest
