[fickle thunder]

hows the layout looking? this is for wires, copper sheets and cables#screenshots message

i am placing 2 smelters outside to combine the ingots for better input so

it doesnt take that much skill honestly

just alot of squares and concrete walls

this is a really simple copper layout for you to try :) #screenshots message

why would you bless the possibly worst architect type existing?

[rigid glen]

Some people like it

[limpid cairn]

like dont get me wrong it does its job but imo its looks like depressed 50y old hated his life and had to do an architect type

maybe in commusnists states like you mentioned

we should get silicon buildings so we can build silicon-valleys

[cyan abyss]

ive noticed something with satisfactory

on pascal specifically running vulkan WITH fsr you lose a lot more fps than running it without fsr

lmao

i was testing out vulkan cuz dx12 has problems with lighting

#screenshots message

[limpid cairn]

i believe the unreal engine just makes devs lazy

[cyan abyss]

lmao 1080p ultra preset is funny cuz my fps goes from 200 or so on low to 40

[limpid cairn]

i have no clue who that is im new on this discord

no 800fps in your minecraft

thats nice

already did more than most AAA games

[fathom plover]

wait so my endgame goal is to help save humanity?

i just build the space elevator and thats what the game told me

[white dawn]

Well, the puppies and kittens, anyway

[fathom plover]

yesssss i found 3 nodes of normal purity iron

[limpid cairn]

imo early pure iron nodes are worse than 2 normal nodes or 4 impure nodes

[fathom plover]

hmmm i could increase my efficency by alot of i tear most of my stuff down then move the stuff to the 3 normal purity iron nodes, rn im at 2 impure nodes

[peak wasp]

how many refineries should I be using?

[steady glade]

loads

[peak wasp]

right now I have 9 of them built and using a good portion of them

[steady glade]

you need more, get hard drives

[dense violet]

supposedly. But you're probalby also a slave mind in a robot body owned by a big corporation.

[peak wasp]

me deciding to use iron ingots for literally everything

[hard mantle]

is there like a specific way to play this game cause like im playing this for the factory part of it but like theres a survival aspect but like i just wanna build factories and progress through the game but not have to deal with the monsters but like flying also seems cool so like idk

[steady glade]

there's not much survival, you'll need to deal with the mobs while exploring but not much more beyond that. they will stop spawning around powered buildings, you can also set the monsters to peaceful in the settings, i forget where exactly.

flight will be available during mid-game but otherwise you can also jump on a manta ray

[hard mantle]

i asked this because in the advanced settings it showed things like god mode and flight mode which i would like to use because again i just wanna build factories so i still want power needed and fuel needed but just want it easier to explore and build

[steady glade]

then maybe dont touch those two, get to the mid game, see if you like the normal flight (there is another option in the next phase too), if you really find the normal flight annoying then revisit those options

[hard mantle]

uh alright thanks

so just go in with no advanced setting and then see what id like to change?

[versed mesa]

Hiw do I deleted a blueprint that ive created i made mistake and named it wrong

[steady glade]

yes, you might have seen it but once you activate advanced game settings, you get no more achievements from that save

[versed mesa]

So not ive got 2 and one is niw correct name lol

[steady glade]

press edit at the bottom

[hollow spruce]

is it possible to have a singleplayer save turned into a dedicated server?

[versed mesa]

Like ot thats in blueprints it self not from designer thanks alot

@steady glade its not showing i can delete it

[steady glade]

one sec lemme boot up the game and remember where the button is

[dense violet]

there's loads of equipment items and vehicles and transport options available to you

unlock stuff in the mam, use the zip line, jet pack and med inhales. You can travel across the map very easily

[hard mantle]

whats the mam again.

[dense violet]

once you get teh basic guns and bombs fighting is a non issue

[versed mesa]

@steady glade keep in mind am using a controller an Xbox one and I can see rearrange but no delete

[dense violet]

small research building.

if you haven't dived into it that explains why thigns are hard for you

maybe the most important thing to work on

[hard mantle]

no i like watched a video on this game and joined this server cause my friend told me to and im like just starting a save

[dense violet]

super important for logistics AND personal gear/exploration

[dense violet]

ah, yeah so... before you have coal power that's essentially a pre tutorial. You're not really meant to explore w/o the basic gear you research at the start

it's very tough to explore without it
it's very easy to explore with it

[versed mesa]

@steady glade I must have to manually delete from folder

[steady glade]

possibly, i havent tried the controller integration

[versed mesa]

It should say to delete it but it dont

[steady glade]

you dont have a gear top right of the blueprints? or some kind of details button?

[versed mesa]

@steady glade ok i tell you what I can do make it to what it should be then I dont need to delete

[versed mesa]

I do have that gear but I cant click on it

[peak wasp]

behold my newest creation...it makes motors strictly out of iron and concrete

#screenshots message

...respectfully pioneer...screw off I like it how it is xD

[steady glade]

not sure what you can do then if you cant use your keyboard

[versed mesa]

@steady glade ive sorted it with out deleting

[peak wasp]

So I am curious if one engine creating thing is enough?

[restive agate]

ive finaly finished my production line for smart plates, while its not 100% efficent because i dont have the tech for 100% efficency it should be good enough

[somber vessel]

does anyone else like to keep their hub in their pocket dimension

[fathom plover]

never thought of that

[rigid glen]

If you mean you put 20 ore in your depot, no, I don't do that 🙂

[somber vessel]

i mean whip it out and build it whenever you feel like checking in on next milestone

[rigid glen]

I will move to where ever I am working a general broad area sense, but I don't think I keep it with me other than the initial exploration for a first base

but you do you, it's fine if you don't die alot

[granite lark]

ok so I have almost finished phase 2, I just have automated wiring left
all my factories cost 1.4k mw and I only produce 1.2k
should I shut off some factories till I reach phase 2 and get better power, or spend a bunch of time to get double what I have now

[fathom plover]

oh god it only produces 2 smart plates per minute

[restive agate]

your using bio fuel rn right?

[somber vessel]

get more power first

[fathom plover]

i have to wait 25 MINUTES AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[granite lark]

coal

[restive agate]

yeah get more power first

[granite lark]

i have 16 coal generators at 100% efficiency

I just didnt know if there was better power in phase 3

[restive agate]

most likely there is but your going to need additional power anyways to build those factories

[cunning siren]

I've played all the starting locations except... Grass Fields AND I'm not sure I need to "do that to myself" 😆 What do y'all think about dat?

[dry wind]

hey i been having problems with pipes.. I have a logistics floor to hide all the pipes and belts.. I come across a guide that said never have input pipes below the machine :/

[limpid cairn]

you can input them but youll need a water tower

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

[dry wind]

yes that the guide I was reading lol

lesson 8

@limpid cairn so if i do a tower I can negate this ?

[limpid cairn]

afaik it should fix the issue

but im not a plumber, sadly

[dry wind]

kk i will try that because i would really like to keep my pipes in the logistics floor

[spice patio]

Feeding from below can work, but is MUCH more likely to have flow issues.

[dense violet]

it does not.

[dense violet]

or a pump. A pump does the exact same thing as a water tower

and is ... so much simpler

[limpid cairn]

im sticking to my water towers till the day i die

[dense violet]

thats fine, don't tell people it solves feeding from below

enough people get bad info about pipes as it is

[steady glade]

the main idea of a water tower is to have a pipe's fluid pushing up against a valve holding back liquid going down so the headlifts combine, but a large part of why its discouraged to put pipes below machines is that the pipe drains into the machine, then has to wait until it fills back up enough to reach up again, and that compounds in a manifold

[spice patio]

No?
The point of water towers originally was cheat and get free headlift.
By having container high up that was not filled actively and never emptied either.

[dry wind]

i am using a manifold design

[steady glade]

the container on top has to be filled. and the valve resets headlift iirc

[spice patio]

Point was that it was filled, and then the fill pipe was removed.

[dry wind]

so.. always fill machine from above?

[spice patio]

With 0-flow set valve to stop it from being emptied.

For the output.

[dense violet]

that's fine, I just highly recommend you bring your pipes to surface level

[dense violet]

or same level

[dry wind]

mmmm.. so tl;dr is don't use my logistics floor for pipes?

[spice patio]

And then people have since just seen it in youtube videos and not gotten the full information.

[steady glade]

and the extra headlift comes from the collision of the 2 fluids, on the valve, the headlift cheat only works if the fluid going up can at least reach the pipe

[spice patio]

There is no extra headlift.
And yes, that is the reason why it is unreliable, if the fluid level in the actual working piping drops, it fails catastrophically.

Just allowed to get fluids up high, without any power usage after priming.

But offers no other benefits.

[steady glade]

i know it doesnt create new headlift and its just getting access to the tower's, its just a saying, its extra headlift from the pov of the lower pipe

[dense violet]

basically 🙂
I feed from below a lot because I like the look, but you really have to plan aroudn it and know how to trouble shoot pipes

probably going to turn them to belts

[spice patio]

But point being, if you aren't using it as the cheat version, with all the caveats that come with the cheat version, it does absolutely nothing over just using pumps.

[dry wind]

@dense violet well i have laid all pipes from below to keep a nice clean look... but i been having issues. I don't mind adding pumps etc if its workable.. but i do need get this working because I need it to generate power

https://ibb.co/M5gKZPx1

mmm.. we not allowed to share screenshots here? i using the pipe holes and convery belt holes with floor under to hide everything

[cunning siren]

#screenshots

[dry wind]

if I have to have pipes above or surface level that going expose it all

[cunning siren]

Link from there

[dry wind]

yeah so is there a way todo manifold design from below with pipes or its too hard and just go with different design?

[steady glade]

its not that hard, just a bit annoying

[dry wind]

if i pump up to a higher point will that help .. or does the machine gulp cause a back pressure to the junction?

[peak wasp]

my game hasnt even been updated since the update, its just sitting there

okie goodnight! :3

No, the flow changes based on relative elevation are a seperate thing than headlift.

whats GI

i dont have bad fps

it just doesnt look very good

so are you using GI? or not?

ok it might look better with gi

yes and no

you need a custom config for it and it has some severe limitations

[rare thunder]

unsure cuz it was specifically daytime that i hated and now its night

is there like a dynamic range option

For a discord this size.. The pinging of mods is somewhat held very very minimum..

Not that it should encourage people to ping more - but it seems like its generally a very mature community (with me helding it back alot 😁 )

[clever stone]

This is a very nice server and largely it’s been incredibly insightful

[silk ocean]

It is a nice server for sure

[clever stone]

I’m immensely just a beginner at all of this so having a crowd to both ask opinions and just share cool stuff is

Very nice

Which is why I’ve been enjoying coming in here once every day or so to share my progress updates

[cursive totem]

As much as discord is great it's also been extremely detrimental to actually collecting knowledge on the internet

It can't be indexed independently, all information is immediately lost in a sea of messages and you have to keep answering the same questions again and again. I'm a Discord Poweruser, it's my #1 social media app and platform for almost everything but jesus I would love back some of the old wikis and forums for games, hobbies and like

Yeah we're already looking into alternatives for our group. Revolt looks promising, Matrix has some issues and all other chat apps miss one or more fundamental features

[silk ocean]

As a noun or verb?

Discord literally means to clash, to argue, as a verb

[cursive totem]

Unfortunately, yes

[silk ocean]

As a noun, it's disagreement, conflict

[hexed phoenix]

This is why a section like #1038092680493801533 exist on Discord for the majority of this issue.

Its like good ol' forums, with topic and (hopefully) useful answers behind each topic - which doesn't get flooded away.

Don't expect an open generic chat to have answers for questions :)

[cursive totem]

It will be interesting to see what happens when (not if, when) they start closing servers and banning people under some batshit crazy policy

[cursive totem]

The search is unfathomably bad

Compared to a proper index search in actual forums

[silk ocean]

That's never going to happen

[cursive totem]

You looking at the state of the US and saying that is a bold choice

[silk ocean]

Even the US isn't that deep into crisis xD

[cursive totem]

Yeah let's not go into that

[hexed phoenix]

I get you, Discord is meant as a broad community tool - not a Wikipedia.

But luckily this community got a pretty good Wiki community which does a lot of work to keep it updated and structured :)

[cursive totem]

Don't use trucks

[plain marten]

even better than ionized or rocket fuel?

[cursive totem]

I hate every transport besides belts and trains haha

[silk ocean]

The best truck fuel is not using trucks at all xD

[plain marten]

i want some fuel thats efficient and can be used to fuel like hundreds of trucks with a not that large factory needed

[cursive totem]

It's just too unwieldy

[plain marten]

how much battery would i need to make per min to fuel like 200 trucks

[sterile blade]

Coal miner - > belt - > truck stations
Can't get any less "large factory" than that xD

[hexed phoenix]

200 Trucks.. Sounds like a Drone solution :D

[silk ocean]

Just remember that trains are the secret to success

Not trucks xD

[plain marten]

yeah but i dont think coal is efficient and i would need a lot of coal

not enough to fuel hundreds of trucks

[cunning siren]

TIL: Catwalks snap to the power tower platform 🤔

[plain marten]

ok what sthe problem with them

are they less efficient

or harder to build

[sterile blade]

It's extremely efficient! Just one machine (miner) every ~50 trucks! (1 MK5 of Coal can handle about 50 trucks)

[plain marten]

hmmm but i have no idea how much batteries i would need to create per min to sustain about 200 trucks

i dont know how much battery per min a single truck consumes

cant find a chart anywhere

oh wait i found one

[sterile blade]

~110/min
You can check how much each vehicle consumes under a specific fuel's wiki page

Considering batteries are made at 30/min, I'd say the Coal route is actually the one employing the smallest number of machines

[plain marten]

ok i did some math and i would need a factory to make 200 batteries

per min

oh wait 150

[sterile blade]

Just use the coke as fuel

hi guys, i'm trying to host my game through IP but session token won't generate, any idea why?

[versed mesa]

Let's talk game

[shy mulch]

In my main save I have 1300 hours. But I'm doing a fresh play through where I'm only allowed to use biofuel for power. In that playthrough I'm almost finished phase 3

[versed mesa]

Gid damn only biofuel lol

[shy mulch]

Yeh it's challenging lol. I've collected about 12 somersloops but I'm gonna get some more. I'm slooping every step of biomass to liquid biofuel

[versed mesa]

Lol

[shy mulch]

Will get easier soon I should get mk4 belts tonight

[versed mesa]

Sweet

Stuff to produce for phase 4 takes ages to make but it depends how many what is set up to produce faster lol

[shy mulch]

Lots maths involved. I think it's actually worthwhile to overclock the biomass production so I can get better value from the sloops I have

[unkempt blade]

Yeah it's tough to say if/how well that pays off for a biofuel-only run. OCing would use a lot more power for production especially if you're also slooping it

[cursive phoenix]

whats a good place to build a big aluminium factory>

[silk ocean]

The North xD

[shy mulch]

Most people do it in the red jungle or swamp

[dense violet]

anywhere you find aluminium and the things you need for it

most bauxite is near coal or oil

[unkempt blade]

I would assume it's still power-positive if you always have plenty of input ingredients but would definitely be curious how positive 😄

[shy mulch]

Yeh I'm gonna do some spreadsheeting 😁

[cursive phoenix]

ive built a train that takes all bauxite to one place i want it to go, i dunno where ill build it tho

[chrome crypt]

is the iron -> wire better than the caterium -> wire?

[dense violet]

use SCIM if you want to scout out a spot that you think is convenient for you

[shy mulch]

If you've got the transport network to do that, then I'd do it over some water, and just bring in all the stuff you need

[dense violet]

well they are two different completely different resources.
so no?

[hard ivy]

Depends whether you want to spend iron or caterium on your wire

[cursive phoenix]

so like somewhere along the coast where there is allot of water?

[chrome crypt]

is it worth just making all wire and cable on 1 node like caterium

[dense violet]

you don't need much water for it

[shy mulch]

Iron and Caterium are two things you're unlikely to run out of, so use whichever is convenient

[dense violet]

... if you have a spare node of caterium and you need cable? sure.

there's no all purpose 'yes' answer to this.

recipes are good in different situations

[shy mulch]

I just do stuff like that near water because transporting solids is less hassle

[dense violet]

there's generally enough water near most bauxite nodes tbh

[shy mulch]

True

[dense violet]

if you recycle the waste water back into the system you barely need any

[dense violet]

alt recipes in this game are all options
there's no 'meta' because everyone needs, products and personal style are all different.

[shy mulch]

Yeah, as long as it's in a circle

[cursive phoenix]

#screenshots message this is my train station rn

any tips?

[shy mulch]

Nice loop. I started off with similar and since then it's grown like a spider web 🤣

[cursive phoenix]

i plan on adding one train that picks up all bauxite, or two smaller ones. and then one for coal

[dense violet]

... it's fine? personally I don't recommend making a world train system. build it as you need

[cursive phoenix]

too late

xd

[shy mulch]

You'll probably need more trains than that

[cursive phoenix]

fml

[silk ocean]

Trains.. you need trains. They are the future

[cursive phoenix]

choo choo

[dense violet]

generally you probalby want to aim for 1 train between 2 points

makes life easier

[neat owl]

Guys, if I want to do multiplayer, do I just do it or...

Cause i'm in steam.

[unkempt blade]

As long as the stations are on a side track and not connected directly to the main track I think you're good. Otherwise trains might block each other. A one direction loop should be easy enough

[neat owl]

Guys?

Any help?

[silk ocean]

What's the situation?

What do you mean, "do multiplayer"

[neat owl]

I did it.

nevermind

I was having trouble joining,

until i realised i could do it through steam.

I'm good.

[shy mulch]

You didn't ask a coherent question. If you need an answer you have to ask something that can be answered

We aren't mind readers

Glad you got it sorted though, whatever it was

[unkempt blade]

I am. I knew what you would say before you said it

[shy mulch]

What is next week lottery numbers please

[unkempt blade]

I can also read my own mind because it just goes "Factory carts are the best!" most of the time

[shy mulch]

Thanks!

[silk ocean]

How fast can a Factory Cart go. In miles per hour please. I am a British peasant. Ain't no kilometres in this island of failure

[cursive phoenix]

i did that ups

[shy mulch]

30

[silk ocean]

30 mph xD

[unkempt blade]

truly the fastest and furiousest of vehicles

[silk ocean]

30 is quite fast

That's like the speed limit on most of our roads, unless you get out of town and then it's 50/60/70

[unkempt blade]

yeah I need to keep lobbying for a Mk2 cart so we can get up to highway speeds

[silk ocean]

Highway speeds xD

[harsh valley]

Finished my steel factory and modular frame factory

Mk3 conveyors are insanely cheap

I was expecting them to cost like 1 smart plating each

This is easy

[shy mulch]

A mk2 kart would be very funny to see

[unkempt blade]

mk2 and mk4 always felt more annoying than the rest to me at the time I unlocked them

[silk ocean]

Conveyors are cheap, even Mk.6

[harsh valley]

What does Mk4 cost?

Also finally unlocked the blueprint planner

This was getting annoying

[unkempt blade]

they use encased industrial beams

[shy mulch]

Should make golden carts go faster

[zenith fractal]

butter

[harsh valley]

Eugh

That's annoying

[zenith fractal]

the buttersticks are annoying

[shy mulch]

They are pretty easy to automate

[harsh valley]

But not as bad as i expected tbh

Yea

I could do it in 5-10 minutes

[unkempt blade]

yeah it's not the end of the world but the complexity always felt a lot higher when you unlocked them than compared to mk3 (just a steel beam) or mk5 (alclad sheet that you can create in bulk a lot easier)

[harsh valley]

Near my stewl factory there are two pure limestone sediments

[unkempt blade]

there's an "encased industrial pipes" recipe that's really good if you find it before you're doing encased beams

[harsh valley]

I'll just setup miners, extend it to the steel factory, build a constructor, assembler and done

Which one

I might have it

[unkempt blade]

the name in quotes 🙂

[harsh valley]

Ohh

Tbh doesn't look bad

Just has a lower production rate

[cursive phoenix]

if i make one line for just bauxite only, should i make one train that loads bauxite at every station or should i add stations next to the rails and make multiple different stations that use the same rails but the stations arent on the actual main rails

[shy mulch]

There is 0 stations on my main loop. I always make a junction off it, then a line at least big enough for 1 full train between the junction and the station, so any trains queueing don't block the main track

[cursive phoenix]

aight thanks man good to know

relatively new to this game, so

[cursive phoenix]

#screenshots message

[spark sky]

Huh? Power storage can have two connections? It doesn't show two connections, but I have one connected to two wall outlets. Oh, and it won't take a third, it says it's already connected. So, it looks like we can daisy-chain them.

[prime rampart]

Mk2 was the hardest conveyor to get ngl

[zenith pecan]

Mk2 wasn't so bad, granted I had a huge inefficient mess making the plates but tbh, it was worth it until I got steel and stuff more optimised.

[spark sky]

Oh, that's going to make my power plant much cleaner, with regard to wires.

[plain marten]

wow my new factory is at literal peak efficiency like the exact moment that my building runs out of an input a new input comes in its in perfect harmonious sync, all green

[prime rampart]

I havent placed one mk2 i just went from mk1 till mk3

Its because i was doing this stupid phase thingy smart plates

[spark sky]

Well, at least there aren't dumb plates in this game.

[unique kernel]

Ok my fellow nerds riddle me this what be the maximum amount of ficsonium thy can make by using all uranium and plutonium i can (wo sloops or samranium) cuz the wonderful tools app appears to be having an error 404 moment

And thus unable to aid me fully

[reef basin]

tools work just fine for me?

[pale cedar]

What's the most efficient way to make modular frames for tier 3-4, I have 4 pure iron veins

[reef basin]

that depends on how you define "efficient"

[pale cedar]

The most as fast as possible

[reef basin]

that depends on how much you build 🙂

[unique kernel]

But I put in 50.4 uranium rods 22.4 plutonium rods but when I do what I persume is the maximum amount of ficsonium rods (according to Google 112) error 404 unable to process

[reef basin]

error 404? how do you get 404 if the page loaded for you?

[pale cedar]

No limits

[reef basin]

well "make something fast" is achieved by scaling production up. Doesn't depend (much) on recipes

[unique kernel]

It loaded but it says "unable to generate production line"

[spark sky]

404 means it couldn't find the page.

[reef basin]

ah, that's not 404

I assume you didn't input any waste?

[pale cedar]

Subnatica profile pic?

[unique kernel]

I did 2520 uranium and 224 plutonium

[unique kernel]

Glub glub

[reef basin]

well then you can't make that much ficsonium. Try changing it to maximise so you know how much is max

[pale cedar]

Funny fish game

[unique kernel]

Said it was 94.etc.

[reef basin]

then copy that number and use it for your production

[unique kernel]

Shy of the 112 I was looking for thy must be missing something

[reef basin]

sloops most likely

[unique kernel]

Wait wa? The 112 maximum needs sloops??? Nign! No sloops!!!

[reef basin]

idk, I don't know from top of my head what is the max possible number and idk if the source that said 112 is reliable

[spice patio]

Basically if you want to do Ficsonium, don't try to do max Plutonium, but minimum plutonium.

[prime jasper]

Guys, is there a simple way to mirror a blueprint? I tried making a fancy façade, spend a lot of time doing the right wing in it in the blueprint designer. And now I have the other side to do, which will take me considerable time.

[spice patio]

Using the base Plutonium recipes to get least amount of Plutonium Fuel rods, from the uranium waste.

Using all the SAM on the map, and all the crude oil on the map, only allows for using 191.25 plutonium waste/min, with 95.625 Ficsonium Fuel Rods produced.

[unique kernel]

No i want to max all of them uranium plutonium and ficsonium I thought it was a simple reduction?

[spice patio]

No, Ficsonium Fuel Rods are intentionally a pain.
https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production?share=sF6Dk5QhAbkxkxuMKhVf

And very expensive, and don't really produce power.

[unique kernel]

Im using the alts for all fuel units and insta cells

[spice patio]

And without slooping specific precursor stages, impossible to use all of alt-recipe plutonium waste generation in ficsonium production, without going over map resource limits just for the ficsonium chain, without taking into account the uranium and plutonium fuel rod production.

[prime jasper]

So what is the point of ficsonium? Is it just to get rid of plutonium?

[reef basin]

yeah

[spice patio]

Yes.
Being able to use Plutonium fuel rods at all without permanent waste.

Instead of just sinking them.

[unique kernel]

Hmm and what stages should I sloop?

[spice patio]

That is for you to try to decide based on the graphs or calculations.

[prime jasper]

After some research it seems there is still no mod for it? I guess I underestimated how hard it is to code.🤔

[spice patio]

I just did basic "maximize ficsonium rods" in greenys calc, and there are some pain points by quick look.

[reef basin]

machines cannot be flipped

[spice patio]

But I linked you that chain, which just uses stupid amounts of lot of the resources as is.

And still cannot hit that 224/min plutonium waste use.

[prime jasper]

It is not really about the machines, there is no chiral machines in my blueprint. I just wanted the game to mirror every beam wall and floor in order not to have to start over from the beginning.

[unique kernel]

So what im hearing is use fertile uranium to cut back on rods and then I can use all plutonium?

[hard ivy]

To make 112 Ficsonium, you need sloops for the RSAM. Otherwise like 95-96ish is the max

[hard ivy]

Fertile will give you even more Plutonium to deal with

[unique kernel]

Well crap on a cracker

[unique kernel]

Thatll work???

[spice patio]

I would just use all base recipes after Uranium Waste, to minimize the Plutonium Fuel Rods.

To get "only" 12.6/min Plutonium Fuel Rods from that 2520/min Uranium Waste

[unique kernel]

But how else will I power my Deloreon? I need enough plutonium to power the 1.21GW flux capacitor

[prime jasper]

By the way how bad it is to use either uranium or plutonium in power plants without backup plans to recycle it? Does storage become a real issue really quick or is it fine?

[unique kernel]

Playing a risky game there comrade thatll lead ya to a meltdown situation

[prime jasper]

Yeah, that's what I thought too. I think i will stick to burning fuel for now, and i'll look seriously into nuclear the next time i need an upgrade.

[hard ivy]

Ficsonium is entirely limited by SAM. Doubling anything that uses it (and it's not the rods themselves) will help. RSAM is used by everything and it's cheap to sloop so that's usually the best choice if you want to save SAM

[spice patio]

But also uses tons of other resources, but that can be somewhat spread out more.

[unique kernel]

Sounds like ive got some sloop hunting todo

[spice patio]

I didn't check what was using 100% of the Crude Oil, or what was using 50% of Copper.

Also was using almost 70% of bauxite.

[unique kernel]

All im hearing is more sloops more sam more CHOO!!!

And much much more drones prepair the fleet! lgio hold music

Meanwhile my 4060: no god please no!

[shy mulch]

SAM generally is a bottleneck for most big builds

Keep in mind if you're using all the available SAM for your power, you're going to have trouble producing endgame parts, if that's something you'll be wanting to do later

[unique kernel]

Unless same isint used in it the only thing same should be used for is ingots and trigons

Dagum auto correcf

[spice patio]

But those are needed for later steps in production of those end-game parts.

[shy mulch]

Storing waste isn't the problem many people make it out to be, if you store it far enough away, there's more space in the world than people seem to reolise

[hard ivy]

Yeah, it kinda sucks that they didn't give us a more efficient RSAM recipe only available in tier 9

[unique kernel]

Dont forget MK. 6 belts

[solemn relic]

i fell into a part of the map which i cant reach without dying because its out of the map, what do i do?

[shy mulch]

Dark matter crystals are very needed

[spice patio]

Those are one-time costs to build, not constant usage.

[shy mulch]

Die and go back to hub?

[solemn relic]

but how do i retrieve my items

[spice patio]

Probably meant how to get the death crate stuff.
Save editing or loading earlier (auto)save.

[shy mulch]

The death crate won't be outside the game area

[spice patio]

Some times they are unfortunately.

[solemn relic]

yeah it is stuck down there sadly

[shy mulch]

Wow, how?

I thought death crates were meant to appear at the last piece of land you touched before you died

[hard ivy]

Pretty sure they appear where you press respawn

[spice patio]

And you can die by crashing into ground in the death zone, before the DOT kills you.

[shy mulch]

DOT?

[spice patio]

Damage Over Time

[shy mulch]

Ah. That's inconvenient. I guess you'll need to use SCIM then

[spark sky]

Hm, if you have power storage and want to put a switch between that and the power grid, does it matter which side of the switch is connected to the power storage, and which is connected to the grid?

[spice patio]

No.

[spark sky]

Thanks.

I went with the one that looks better.

[spice patio]

Only effect is which one is top or bottom in the power switch UI when the switch is in Off position.

When the graphs are separated from each other.

[shy mulch]

I need to learn to use priority power switches properly. Never bothered in my main save but will definitely need them this time round. If I put my power generation behind a priority power switch, and connect that to a circuit, and every factory is behind another priority power switch. Will it work that I can turn any factory on/off from any power switch?

[unique kernel]

But about sam should I just process it all in 1 factory then ship out the reanimated sam to other facilities?

[shy mulch]

Do it whatever way suits your transport network

[spark sky]

Other than research in the MAM, do we ever need raw SAM?

[shy mulch]

No

[spark sky]

:: is beginning to think that @unique kernel is writing a book::

[unique kernel]

My transport network consists of trucks and trains trains make a loop around the map both ways (clockwise and anti clockwise) with a 3rd center line for my maintenance train but my question is what would happen if randomly the entire main grid became disconnected from the train system? Like in the event of a grid shutdown would the trains stop instantly or would they just coast untill physics say "ok you can stop now" and just roll to a stop or does it hit a curve and go flying off?

[unique kernel]

Nah just a question in paragraph form

[spark sky]

Well, I was watching the typing message and waiting to see what you were typing, falling asleep (which is probably more a symptom of the fact that I only got 2 hours of sleep last night).

And, I didn't have breakfast.

[unique kernel]

Sometimes I gotta step away mid sentence to pick up an order so that too could be why

[unique kernel]

Ficit Doctors recommend that you at least have breakfast before starting a shift

[spark sky]

Pick up an order?

[unique kernel]

Im a dasher comrade i go in pickup then ride along to le destination

[spark sky]

Ah, didn't know that was a thing.

[unique kernel]

I do it with me mum she drives while I mainly sit here on le phone

[spark sky]

So, like, Door Dash or Uber Eats?

[unique kernel]

The red one

[spark sky]

::shrugs:: I only know green (Shipt). I work at Target.

[unique kernel]

I do shops there from time to time

For doordash

Anyways where was i? Ah yes about my sam factory

Hmm too bad there isint a way to calculate machines with OC and sloops in tools

Wait greenys also a factorian?

[cunning glade]

Are rcu used too make drones

[hard ivy]

!wikisearch drone

[cunning glade]

Okay yes they are

[raven axle]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/index.php?search=drone

[cunning glade]

So my question then is how many should I make a min for making drones

Idk how drones work quite yet and how many I'll need

And making a small factory so I can unlock them and make them

I do have like 2 pure quartz nodes so I could turn it into big factory for them

As I'll need more

[unique kernel]

Hol up i just realized something the "Automated miner" Alt is that really necessary? Or is it in the default in the assembler?

Haven't really paid attention to see if it is or not

[hard ivy]

the default miner recipe is only made in the equipment workshop

[sterile zealot]

Hello everyone,

My game keeps crashing when placing a power pole. Was playing for ~3 hours building a new factory and the moment I place a new power pole the game crashes for some reason.

[unique kernel]

You probably reached the buildable limit

[true mulch]

Please post in #1038092680493801533 not here

[sterile zealot]

thats a thing?

[unique kernel]

Aww welp time to find a NPP to handcraft em for the next eternity

[unique kernel]

Yep

[peak wasp]

So is it wrong to try and cut out steel completely out of your builds?

[unique kernel]

Depends on what your making

[peak wasp]

modular frames

I am using the alt recipe that uses steel pipes, and then cutting out the steel from that with iron pipes

plus not needing screws for modular frames is nice

[sterile zealot]

but theres is tops 1k assests

[peak wasp]

then I can use heavy encased frames and more iron pipes to cut out steel from heavy modular frames

[sterile zealot]

Im a new player its my first save i couldn't have possibly hit the limit

[unique kernel]

No just no thats worse instead do this: pure iron ingot > solid steel ingot > moulded pipes/steel. Use wet concrete for so that you'll have plenty

[unique kernel]

Depends on the size of your factory comrade

[peak wasp]

how is it wrong to cut out coal use from everything

[unique kernel]

Bc coal is gold if you want balance or in my case I make it go EVEN FURTHER by using the carbon steel alt from the Refined R&D mod

[cunning glade]

Would 25-30/min for rcu be a decent amount for now?

[sterile zealot]

posted pic in #screenshots

[unique kernel]

Besides steel pipes have more uses than just heavy frames

[true mulch]

@sterile zealot I've replied to your thread

[peak wasp]

I mean for some reason I use nothing but iron and concrete in my current base

also got the next recipe I need

which was plastic smart plates

now I can use all this plastic waste I have kicking around from power generation

[unique kernel]

When it comes to motors 2 alts are a godsend

Steel rotors and rigor motors

[peak wasp]

I am using steel rotors right now

isn't that one with steel pipes?

because yeah my base uses that with the iron pipes

because right now my base uses the pure iron ingots recipe and the wet concrete recipe and that feeds my entire base

right now I am just waiting for my 1500 plastic 500 rotors and 500 plates to make the 1000 smart plates I need for the next stage

[true mulch]

Sloop + OC

[peak wasp]

Haven't unlocked slooping yet

[true mulch]

I'd recommend doing so

[peak wasp]

I forget what stupid thing I needed I haven't got around to getting... Might of been sam

[true mulch]

Huge boost for the space elevator and also double power shards

[peak wasp]

Right now my power is kinda low though

4600MW

[unique kernel]

Steel rotors can be used with normal stators to make rigor motors and with each assembler at 250% you make 12.5 rotors and stators so OC 2 manufacturers to make iirc 10 motors thats 6.25 stator and rotor per manufacturer all thats missing is wire oh my gosh I just remembered iron wire

[peak wasp]

Yes

Why do you think I said I only use iron and concrete

Because you can use iron wire xD

[unique kernel]

I gotta find a hard drive stat

[shy mulch]

Pretty easy to calculate yourself though

[unique kernel]

Ive got extra iron and just found a way to use it buuut I gotta redesign my entire steel production floor cuz its jam packed full no room to expand

[unique kernel]

Yea but thats extra steps that im sure ill get wrong somehow

Ik I suck at math yet I play a game thats 90% math tell me how that makes sence

[peak wasp]

I have a motor production line that uses nothing but iron and concrete and a tier 4 belt line that uses nothing but iron and concrete

[shy mulch]

Use a spreadsheet to calculate it for you. There's really no complicated math in this game, just lots of simple calculations that can seem complicated when you look at them all together. Do one thing at a time and it's really quite simple

Does SFT have an api or anything I wonder. Would be nice to be able to build a wrapper around it that can do oc/sloop calculations for people

[unique kernel]

For a second I read that as wopper

[unkempt blade]

yeah but that's also how you get better at math!

[peak wasp]

The math isn't that difficult though

Like most of the time it's like coal generators

8 coal generators on a tier 2 belt

120 divided by 15 = 8

And 8 times 45m3 is 360

Which is 4 water extractors

3 technically but with the limit of the level 1 pipe with a max of 300m3 you wanna do 6 coal generators on one pipe then the other two on the other pipe

With a 50% underclock on one of the water extractors on the first pipe

[unkempt blade]

such math much coal power

[cyan abyss]

satisfactory is the game where you like math

[peak wasp]

I assume my math is correct since nobody is yelling at me and calling me a fuckhead xD

[cyan abyss]

nah we're too lazy to calculate it

[peak wasp]

Fair enough lol

[unkempt blade]

yeah you nailed it, that's how 8 blocks of coal gens work

[cyan abyss]

im running 10 off of 600m/s of water

[peak wasp]

You could technically do 13 off that

Well 13.333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333

[cyan abyss]

yea

[cyan abyss]

so a nice 13.3 coal

[peak wasp]

333333333333333

[unkempt blade]

In just brute force all the math with factory carts instead

[unkempt coral]

Hi, I started the game this week and I'm kind of confused on how to make the factory as we do in Factorio or if it's even possible. Like usually, in factorio, you have a bunch of miners on a patch and you send the ore to "smelting columns"......but here......I don't even see why I would do that. Instead, I make around patches a complete unit of material processing for basic components like metal sheets, iron bars, copper wires, etc.

To my sense, there is no real reason to have all your foundries in the same spot beside getting really confused on you efficiency rates.

[cyan abyss]

I have an area for iron, copper, etc

[unkempt blade]

The biggest difference is going to be that satisfactory resource nodes never run out so you'll build factories that always run at a known rate

[peak wasp]

techinally I have all my resources all in one place

mostly because I load all my resouces into a train

[cyan abyss]

#screenshots message this is mine atm

#screenshots message amazing message ada

[shy mulch]

Step 1. This isn't factorio, totally different game, don't try to compare them or use similar techniques

[fierce glen]

A real pioneer uses paper and pen

[shy mulch]

I'm on my 2nd notepad

[fierce glen]

A even better one just does what seems right and if it works it works

Do ya fw holding the coffee cup or a fruit in hand while exploring

[peak wasp]

I disagree do the same thing it makes for amusing results

[cyan abyss]

honestly been debating that

[shy mulch]

vibe pioneering

[fierce glen]

Yes

When something doesn't work out is depressing tho

I grinned 3 tiers with manual labour

Grinded

Cuz I didint knew how to craft miners

[unkempt blade]

you need yarn too so you can make a proper beautiful mind wall

[fierce glen]

I made a water pipe straight from the grassland waterfall to the edge of the grassland

And I didnt knew why I got out of water

After I thought abt the posibilty that I drained whole waterfall

After I went to check

Didn't see anything wrong

I made 3 more water trucks or whatever to pull more water

Still didn't work

I placed like one water pump

I was getting 300m of water constantly

[sick falcon]

#screenshots gives me factory dysphoria :c

It's kind of hard to do. For exemple, the damn screws........how do you scale the production of screws exactly? One impure(?) iron patch will produce 2 lanes of screws that can be combined into one.....but then you're done, you need another patch of iron and you do the same, but then you can't combine them cuz they are already filled to max capacity, so you need to make a second lane (on top maybe). So you end up having lanes of screws coming from every directions and stacking on your main bus.......Am I correct so far?

Bus? What bus? we don't do busses here

[shrewd palm]

^^

[reef basin]

You make them directly in front of the machine that needs them

And yeah, main bus is crap in here

[shrewd palm]

You’re not limited by ore patches so why bother building with expandable infrastructure?

In the very early game you’ll really only have to worry about upgrading belts and the resource nodes in the early game areas aren’t really big enough to have to add more machines

So just build stuff where it’s most convenient and then upgrade it later if you need to

[fierce glen]

how do i make all the ores go up to a air plane efficiently

[unique kernel]

I can concur with that if im "planning" a factory and I dunno what the mcratios are i either summon the discord or the tools app

[fierce glen]

what do yo ucalculate in satisfactory cause all ido is do what looks right and if it works it work

[unique kernel]

Meanwhile here i am eyeballing it ive got 8 mk 2 pipes of water feeding my entire coal power plant if any o yall use modular power from Refined R&D then yall know what's up

[fierce glen]

if i make a ton of things that make water and connect them all to a pipe does it stack

[green fiber]

does WHAT stack

[unique kernel]

Well first what I do is a see how many ores I have (or fluids in terms of democracy liquid or dihydrogen monoxide) and then i just make what i can with what I got available whoevers idea it was to add a calculator function into the searchbar needs a raise

[green fiber]

head lift doesnt stack - flow rate does

[fierce glen]

the water flowing into the pipe

[green fiber]

the flow rate gets added, yea

same as with belt. 30/min + 30/min = 60/min

[fierce glen]

da hell is dyhydrogen monoxide in game

[green fiber]

but thats about as much as they have in common

[green fiber]

oxidane

[unique kernel]

If you remember basic chemistry you'll get it

[fierce glen]

i only did 8 grades in middle school and got married

[unique kernel]

What the Alabama?

[fierce glen]

in my culture we marry before 18

[green fiber]

Oxidane is a terrible poison - its EVERYWHERE.
its in the air, its in your food, its in your body.

[fierce glen]

i married at 15 yrs old

[fierce glen]

yo i shearched is water

[green fiber]

Oxidane my beloved

[unique kernel]

Thats the most redneck thing ive ever heard sounds like a Alabama weddin to me

[green fiber]

ITS NOT EFFICIENT

[fierce glen]

is common in romani families

[unique kernel]

There's a mod for that lol

Dont get rid of you must consume

[fierce glen]

wait until you hear i paid 8k euros for my wife

[green fiber]

Drink the wodah

[cyan abyss]

just got my smart plating factory going

takes about 150mw to run and produces a total of... like 4 a minute

[fierce glen]

is it a noddle

[unique kernel]

That was a smart move

[fierce glen]

where should i make factories

[cyan abyss]

#screenshots message

[fierce glen]

well i dont like cuz in most of the places are like trees rocks and stuff

[cyan abyss]

587mw out of 750mw max lmao

[fierce glen]

i can unlock them prob

what if i die

thats hard

[unique kernel]

Legend has it if you combined plastic smart plating and water in a packager set to packaged water you'll make packaged smart water

[fierce glen]

i lose loot

hogs attack me i die

[unique kernel]

Me:

keep inventory: on

[fierce glen]

yo how i make stuff from storage like the big crate adn stuff go to a coal power thing which is 800 meters away

so i just make a BIG BIG belt going

[cyan abyss]

how ive done it

[unique kernel]

I have my game set to keep inventory so death just means "oh no anyway"

[unkempt blade]

tractors can both carry coal and be fueled by coal

[fierce glen]

idk how to use them cuz the path doesnt save

[sinful bobcat]

Have you tried saving the path

[unkempt blade]

can't learn if you don't try though 🙂

[sinful bobcat]

[fierce glen]

how i do it

[sinful bobcat]

Record path, finish path loop, save path

[fierce glen]

does this work on version 1.0

[unkempt blade]

I'd start with https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Vehicles#Automation but there should be some good youtube guides if you're more visual for this stuff

[sinful bobcat]

Yes it works in all versions

You probably aren’t finishing the path

Paths need to loop back to where you start them

[fierce glen]

ooooo

[sinful bobcat]

If you start at X station, you need to drive to your destination AND then back

[fierce glen]

thats smart

and does te truck autoamticaly loads and unloads stuf?

[sinful bobcat]

Yes

As long as you pause at a station for like 3 seconds it sees it as “it’s” station

[fierce glen]

ive lost like 5 trucks so far

na cuz lemme hop on it

[unkempt blade]

you understand they follow the path you record for them, right?

then what's with all the negative hyperbole?

[sinful bobcat]

Trucks can do any path

Even if you put a wall in their way

[mortal ginkgo]

they are clever as much as the one who made the path for them

[unkempt blade]

It follows the path you record AND vehicles fix themselves when you get out of range of them. They're basically bulletproof once automated

[fierce glen]

they must be sum hardvar stuff then

[sinful bobcat]

They only can’t if you have a head on collision with another vehicle

“Deadlock”

[fierce glen]

why cant i open satisfactory

did i borke it

[sinful bobcat]

You broke it

[fierce glen]

ah i got a game downloading

[unique kernel]

Im waiting till I get my train line sat up then ill have trucks going back and forth between ore and train station with drones proving ion fuel for both trucks AND drones

[fierce glen]

how that works

i bought the farcry primal

cuz when i was young i seen a youtuber i liked play it

and now i wanna try it too

[unique kernel]

Hey this is Josh

[unkempt blade]

there's nothing "wrong" with them, there are just more options out there and vehicles make the world feel a lot more alive

[unique kernel]

Looks is all we need to avoid em

[fierce glen]

what do yo uguys think about far cry primal

[mortal ginkgo]

Belts dont make the factory as dynamic as trucks trains and drones.

If one thinks that the distance is too long for belt but too short for trains, why not yolo cute tractors.

Trucks can be CHUNGUS and DOMB but tractors really get the job done.

DOMB.

[fierce glen]

they dont udnerstand us leon

[unique kernel]

Hey! Dont talk bout my brain like that its trying its best lol

[mortal ginkgo]

FOOLISH people mate. They don't understand truck supremacy.

[fierce glen]

truck smart me smart we smart im a truck

[mortal ginkgo]

I didn't know you were a Truck. Sorry! 😭

[fierce glen]

is alright

[unique kernel]

Trucks carry more therefore less bottleneck

[unique kernel]

What do you think the AI is?

[fierce glen]

does the truck go around the obstacles i go into

[mortal ginkgo]

if you need a Truck for such bottleneck issues I think you can use Trains better.

Trucks are just..

CHUNGUS.

And.

DOMB.

[unkempt blade]

I think he just needs some practice recording routes. It sounds like he get hurt by a tractor and is still processing the troubleshooting trauma

[mortal ginkgo]

This game's waypoint system is equally DOMB.

[silver mountain]

what distance is considered too far for belts

[fierce glen]

why discord says im palying satisfactory and it didnt evne opened yet

[silver mountain]

because discord knows

[fierce glen]

is it tracking my activity like a virus

[mortal ginkgo]

check process manager.

[silver mountain]

how dare you misname my dearest task manager

[mortal ginkgo]

depends on your own perspective

[mortal ginkgo]

I didnt say task manager for like... 7 years.

so I forgor 💀

[silver mountain]

i dont find any distance too far for my precious belts, 2km is nothin

[fierce glen]

why chrome has 4k of my memmory

[unique kernel]

If ADA was the truck AI would explain the fact that they added teleportation abilities to them cuz ADA cant drive unless its straight into a ditch

[mortal ginkgo]

Madness.

[silver mountain]

chrome is a piggy]

[mortal ginkgo]

because chrome

[unkempt blade]

Just depends how far you want to run the belt. They'll do their belt stuff even if they're really long

[fierce glen]

what i do if discord use 16% of my cpu

[mortal ginkgo]

close it

[eternal swallow]

7 drives, 2 alt recipies, am i gonna get them?

[silver mountain]

turn hardware acceleration on or off

[mortal ginkgo]

yes

[eternal swallow]

🔥

[eternal swallow]

off

[unkempt blade]

You're amazing and talented and have unusually good luck at drive unlocking. I believe in you

[unique kernel]

Mate imma do away with my limestone belt the MOMENT I get ion fuel automated cuz good golly them belts be in the way

[silver mountain]

MORE BELTS

[eternal swallow]

thx!!! ^^

[mortal ginkgo]

I can also tell you a very secret way of keep repeating to get the recipe.

[silver mountain]

Not just your factory spaghet, the entire world must be spaghet

[eternal swallow]

oh i know of it but i dont really like it

[mortal ginkgo]

ah gud, just incase you cba

I dont use it myself too but hey, can be useful

[silver mountain]

i wish i knew this before opening 50 hardrives to get steel pipes for a factory

IRON PIPES*

[fierce glen]

I rested my pc

[mortal ginkgo]

key is opening drives before the pool gets too crowded

[fierce glen]

Reseted

[mortal ginkgo]

I got stitched plates, iron wire etc in phase 1, and got all steel recipes I wanted at recipe 2

by not milestone spamming and being patient

[fierce glen]

Do you guys feel happy while holding a raspberry when building or exploring

[mortal ginkgo]

I am happy when I am holding a shotgun rebar.

[unique kernel]

Jokes on all them i already know the secret muahahaha

[cunning glade]

I think the streamer I'm watching blind playthrough is actually gonna play the whole game with a main bus we are 50 hours in still at it

[eternal swallow]

i feel hapy when holding my candy cane

[mortal ginkgo]

oh no

[eternal swallow]

oh god

[mortal ginkgo]

Factorio player detected

[eternal swallow]

the factorio brainrot

[cunning glade]

Yep

[unique kernel]

Oh no no no no

[cunning glade]

He played that first

[fierce glen]

what i do if my pc screen is blue and it beeps

[eternal swallow]

uhhhhhh

[fierce glen]

it goes biiiiiiiiiii

[cunning glade]

I really hope he stops

[eternal swallow]

pray to the gods and turn it off and on again

[mortal ginkgo]

ok listen, at least he is not playing Dyson Sphere Program, as a bus is not also inefficient but it would 1/3 of the planet's size.

[unique kernel]

Sir have you tried turning it off and back on again?

[silver mountain]

turn off your houses power

[fierce glen]

it says DO NOT TURN OFF

[eternal swallow]

then

[fierce glen]

idk what to do

[eternal swallow]

dont turn it off an on again

[silver mountain]

turn it off

[eternal swallow]

but waituntill it stops saying that

[unique kernel]

It updating?

[cunning glade]

I do plan too play this next and in this main bus bad?

[fierce glen]

too late

[silver mountain]

and sell it saying it works fine and then buy a new one

[eternal swallow]

and then turn it off and on again

[fierce glen]

it went black

it says no signal

did i broke it

yo it lit up

is fine i think

[unique kernel]

Sounds like my brain at 2am in dire need of sleep but factory still needs attention

[mortal ginkgo]

TLDR: DSP's buildings asks alot of resources and mk1 and even mk2 belt is not enough to sustain anything. By the time you get mk3 you wont be needing a bus so.

[eternal swallow]

trust imma get dialuted fuel and recycled plastic on the first drive

believe

[fierce glen]

the factory treats me better than human

[unique kernel]

No no polymer resin and diluted fuel

[mortal ginkgo]

I ain't touching any complicated fuel stuff before I get Blender.

That packaging is cool but nightmare at the same time imho.

[fierce glen]

by blender you mean the 3d moddeling software?

or a real blender which has a blade that spins

[eternal swallow]

is that better?

[mortal ginkgo]

........................

[unkempt blade]

I really like the stacking on top of belt speed in DSP. It's a nice way to increase throughput without just making one huge blur of a line

[silver mountain]

what do i do if ive used all the oil in my world and need more

[fierce glen]

rookie mistake

[unique kernel]

Diluted fuel to turn into fuel polymer resin for much more plastic and rubber

[eternal swallow]

be more efficient with your oil

[mortal ginkgo]

Correct, then you decide to make a 240/sec white jello production and even thats not enough kek

[silver mountain]

fair enough

i need more of the plasticas

my ADS used it all

[unique kernel]

Whats "white jello?"

[fierce glen]

how to i make a effiecnt belt with 800 meters in lenght

[eternal swallow]

fuel polymer resin?

[unique kernel]

Very carefully?

[mortal ginkgo]

related to DSP

[fierce glen]

so how i speed it up

[unique kernel]

No theres a alt for polymer resin that gives a whole lot of polymer resin but a little bit of HOR iirc its 130 resin and 30 HOR for 30 oil? But use water to make residue rubber and plastic from the polymer resin and then dilute the HOR for fuel

Greetings traveller oh wait wrong server

[unique kernel]

Deep Space Polycarbon?

[eternal swallow]

Yeah but you need recycled plastic if you wanna make plastic out of that fuel

[unique kernel]

But why do that thats perfectly fine power

[eternal swallow]

I already have about 4 times higher power output than im consuming, i dont need power lol, i need plastic

[silver mountain]

go nuclear and die ur oil power

[eternal swallow]

Not that far yet 😔

Close tho

[silver mountain]

i ahve a feeling im gonna have the same problem as you

im also in phase 4

[cursive phoenix]

i need help w trains please

[silver mountain]

wsp dextah

[cursive phoenix]

i got a train going from point a to point b and the rail works fine but it still says that next stop isnt reachable

[cursive phoenix]

im so lost man

[silver mountain]

fortunatly for you

i have no idea how trains work either, i just did what someone told me to do

[cursive phoenix]

like bro the rails are connected just do ur job 💔

[unique kernel]

Well do you have 2 rails or monorail?

[cursive phoenix]

what in gods name is monorail

[unique kernel]

1 rail going from 1 station to the other aka no loopback

[cursive phoenix]

its multiple trains on one rails, one rails going to the destination and one back

like different stations hooked up to 2 rails

[unique kernel]

So a loop system?
