satisfactory

[pale dew]

i found a weird bug that if you are using hyper cannon

[cunning siren]

Pipe junctions snap to the sides of foundations and you can lock the hologram and nudge it from there

[amber heath]

what is encased industrial beams used for?

[pale dew]

if you shoot yourself out and you start to jetpack in that direction

youll keep that velocity

for your whole flight

[tidal ivy]

Mostly t4 belts

[reef basin]

Open codex to see

[outer scarab]

OK that works ty

[tidal ivy]

And miners mk2 iirc

[amber heath]

oh codex can tell me?

[amber heath]

it tells me i havent unlocked any of the crafts

[amber heath]

do you reckon i need a lot of them?

[pale dew]

then you cant use them lol

[reef basin]

Then you don't need to worry about those yet

[pale dew]

first get the tiers

then wonder why

[amber heath]

i got advanced steel production

so i can make them, but not use them?

[pale dew]

yeah

[amber heath]

thats kinda goofy

[pale dew]

you dont have crafts

[reef basin]

So many people want to future-proof, don't do that, build what you need now

[tidal ivy]

I personally went from t3 to t5 but its still good to have some in a container

[pale dew]

pretty sure you can get the first thing that uses them in t5

[amber heath]

okay cool

[pale dew]

literally every factory building game

[amber heath]

?

oh wait i need the encased industrial beams for some milestones

[tidal ivy]

I'd recommend automating every game item anyway

[amber heath]

yeah thats what i want to do

[tidal ivy]

There will always be something that requires em

[amber heath]

currently i have automated everything except that, stators, motors and automated wiring

but i wanna make automated wiring now so i can get the space elevator parts

[tidal ivy]

Legit

Do you build a factory per item or a superfactory?

[amber heath]

per item, some with more items

i have one with 3 items cuz they kinda connect

[tidal ivy]

Alrighty

[amber heath]

do you think i should do per item or superfactory?

[tidal ivy]

Both are good tbh

Its a matter of taste

[amber heath]

i think per item seems more organized which i like

[tidal ivy]

I prefer superfactories because you can gather all inputs in one place but they take a lot of space

[amber heath]

i think thats fair

and its nice to collect every item in the same place

until u get the bluetooth thingys

[hard ivy]

I don't see a point in collecting everything in one place when the depot can upload from anywhere

[outer scarab]

you dont have unlimited depot throughput

[amber heath]

true

[amber heath]

usually enough tho, no?

[tidal ivy]

That + can't input a factory from depot

[outer scarab]

I have been known to manually load stuff from my depot because it wasnt worth the logistics

mostly just end game space parts

[hard ivy]

You can absolutely build a factory from depot

[fading plinth]

https://grabify.link/I485PC

[tidal ivy]

Wat

[hard ivy]

The build gun pulls from the depot?

[amber heath]

i dont think thats what he meant

[hard ivy]

Oh, input, not build

[tidal ivy]

I meant you cant set a depot as input for a factory

[hard ivy]

I can't read

[tidal ivy]

Its ok xD

[amber heath]

motors are very versatile and often used right?

[outer scarab]

yes

[tidal ivy]

Yup

[amber heath]

how many should i make per minute

[outer scarab]

dont think about making a lot of things for future use, start at the end item you want then work backwards

[amber heath]

cuz i wanna build motors and stators with my automated wiring factory

[tidal ivy]

Just build a balanced factory tbh

[amber heath]

yeah ik but if i only build the automated wiring factory its goofy af

[hard ivy]

30/min for personal use was always enough for me

[tidal ivy]

You'll spend so much time on this game your containers will fill up before you empty them

[amber heath]

48 copper, 9 coal and 9 iron per minute

[outer scarab]

max out how much you can build per node, then if you need more, make more factory

[amber heath]

what do you mean by that?

[tidal ivy]

Or lvl up miners and belts

[amber heath]

i got mk2 miners

[outer scarab]

make as much as you can from the resources near you. If you need more, then you can go get more

[tidal ivy]

When i started i used to do 1 node = 1 component

[amber heath]

yeah of course

[amber heath]

but i dont need 30 automated wiring per minute

i need like 2

[outer scarab]

not yet

[amber heath]

oh what are they used for apart from space elevator?

[outer scarab]

more space elevator

[amber heath]

oh

[outer scarab]

have you ever played factorio?

[amber heath]

no i havent

[hard ivy]

You don't need any per minute. Just make however many you need for that phase

[outer scarab]

there is the "stuff i need to build my base" and the "stuff i need to advance the game"

you dont need both going at the same time

[amber heath]

but then its 48 copper, 9 coal and 9 iron per minute, which is mad goofy

[amber heath]

how do you mean?

[outer scarab]

Your needs will change as you level, but space parts will always be required for more space parts

when you end the game, you will still be making space parts

[hard ivy]

I just build one machine, overclock and sloop it, and handfeed it items to make just enough to complete that phase

[amber heath]

yeah thats what i was thinking too tbh

[outer scarab]

I would set up a factory just for space parts so you dont have to remake it every time

advanced space parts take the lower level space parts

[hard ivy]

I see 0 reason to automate space elevator parts, except phase 5 ones for points if you want those

[amber heath]

but are the space parts the same every time? but a different amount?

or do they change

[outer scarab]

they are just parts of the next part

and you will need more

always more

[hard ivy]

It takes 15 minutes to build one machine and handfeed it. Even if you do it 5 times, it's still much faster than build a slow-ass full factory

[amber heath]

i have automated them so far

[amber heath]

i like building factories tho

[outer scarab]

the slow factory is building while you do something else though

[tidal ivy]

For space elevator parts i personally build the load balanced factories and use containers as input

[hard ivy]

I like building them when I have everything unlocked

[tidal ivy]

And i put the exact needed quantities in containers

[outer scarab]

the game forces you to stop building by hand as a teaching tool

[amber heath]

that sounds reasonable, but i havent come that far yet

i have 18h 30min on the world im playing on

which is the furthest i've come

[outer scarab]

you could always go BUS rout, where you have major input/outputs and self ballancing so you aren't wasting resources

if you build a line going North to South with a bus, you want to build away from the bus East and West so you can keep extending your factory

[amber heath]

that confuses me

[outer scarab]

return finished goods to the BUS, and if you need more raw stuff then you just add another line

[amber heath]

what bus

[outer scarab]

a bus is a line of stuff

[amber heath]

like a train line?

[hard ivy]

Bussing in this game is an awful idea

[outer scarab]

i posted a picture of my iron bus in Design and architecture if you want to look

[outer scarab]

no its not

[amber heath]

where'd u post it

[outer scarab]

5 channels below this in Design

[amber heath]

hmm

why do you like that better than doing it normally?

[hard ivy]

That's not really a bus

[outer scarab]

it's literally a bus

I just havent added the other stuff to it yet

[tidal ivy]

https://tenor.com/view/school-bus-monster-bus-big-bus-gif-23483603

No gif preview?

What a shame

[hard ivy]

It's just a bunch of iron ore

[outer scarab]

no media in this channel

[hard ivy]

This is a bus:
https://wiki.factorio.com/Tutorial:Main_bus

[outer scarab]

yah and next to it will be my coper ore

this is for a mega base

so the scale is more than you might think

[hard ivy]

Also what's the point of putting ore on the bus

It's not used for anything other than ingots

[amber heath]

how much do hard drives help at my stage of the game?

[outer scarab]

thats the start of the buss

[hard ivy]

They help a lot at every stage of the game except the onboarding

[outer scarab]

they halp you get rid of screws

[amber heath]

so should i go searching for more? cuz i have only found 2 and neither were very good

[tidal ivy]

They help a lot but you might struggle finding them without long distance transport

[amber heath]

i really do

what should i have as long distance transport?

[outer scarab]

once you get a jet pack you should go get everything

[hard ivy]

There's 100+ recipes and I routinely use 60-70% of them

[tidal ivy]

Jet-pack and ladders might be enough

[outer scarab]

you shouldnt do log distrance transport

[amber heath]

so they're very useful

[tidal ivy]

Also hypertubes for tube cannons

[outer scarab]

are you talking about self travel?

[tidal ivy]

Yeah

[amber heath]

but the jetpack doesnt even travel quickly, it just goes up

[outer scarab]

you can get away with wires, thats a good way to get around for free

[tidal ivy]

There are few tips

[amber heath]

wires?

[outer scarab]

just unlock power towers and slide on them

[amber heath]

ziplines u mean?

[outer scarab]

yah

[amber heath]

yeahh i've seen that

pretty cool

[outer scarab]

if you drag power around with you it makes opening the crash sites that need power easier

[cunning siren]

Right click with Zipline ❤️ did not know about that till last week 😆

[hard ivy]

I just open HDDs with an augmenter

[outer scarab]

if you wait long enough for aluminium, you can get a hover pack and just float around the map

[tidal ivy]

I also recommend cutting every tree you see because fuck nature you'll see nodes and special places way more easily

[amber heath]

i have

[outer scarab]

also remember you dont have to go BACK to your MAM, just build one on site, toss it in, start it up, then destroy it

build another in 10 mins and you are good to go

[amber heath]

i've seen that aswell

i watched a pretty good guy for beginner's guide playthrough

[outer scarab]

honestly there isn't much you wont figure out yourself

most questions are about how to do silly things

[amber heath]

yeah ik but it helps A LOT to already know

[outer scarab]

you can tell they put a lot of effort into making exploring the map fun, then they give you sky road building and it just ruins the game

[amber heath]

im not a big fan of the exploring aspect of the game

[hard ivy]

Also, if you don't like either recipe you got, don't take them. They'll stay in the library and you won't get them in the next drives. Which means they're more likely to be better

[amber heath]

i saw that too, i havent claimed either

[outer scarab]

i mean you can always free play it but....

[tidal ivy]

one video that totally changed my way of building:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JynXtzEOS64

wish i'd seen that when i started the game

it made my singularity cells factory very easy to build

[amber heath]

i'll watch it

[outer scarab]

i would not recomend that at all....

[tidal ivy]

or not, that is your choice, but it helped me a lot

[outer scarab]

until you are at end game, build on giant flat areas

no reason to build custom buildings

[tidal ivy]

there are few spots where you can build long ass factories like this

[amber heath]

i already started watching, my building sucks

[amber heath]

i do

[outer scarab]

ok well the video wont really help you then

[amber heath]

?

why not

[outer scarab]

b/c its about building more buildings not factory

[scenic python]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1136070193257386088/1426879661979467836/caption.gif

[amber heath]

you mean like styling and stuff?

[outer scarab]

yes

[amber heath]

well i want that too

but he also said in the beginning that it was better scalability after it had already been built

i dont know the map

[scenic python]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1136070193257386088/1426879504042950738/caption.gif

[amber heath]

so i dont know where that is

[scenic python]

I hate my gifs not working

[tidal ivy]

i highly recommend using the map

(M key by default)

[amber heath]

i dont know where i am on the map tho

i've been trying to figure it out

[outer scarab]

M for map

[amber heath]

yeah yeah of course, i use it to check purity on recource nodes when scanning

[hard ivy]

https://satisfactory-calculator.com/en/interactive-map

[scenic python]

On the left you can hover over your name and it'll show you where you ate

[hard ivy]

Load up the save and it'll show you

[amber heath]

yeah i dont know where i am tho, so this doesnt help me

[amber heath]

how do i do that

[outer scarab]

mouse wheel out

on your map

[hard ivy]

Probably the "CLICK/DROP YOUR SAVE GAME HERE" button

[amber heath]

havent explored enough to notice a pattern that i can match with the website

[outer scarab]

Or, start a new game in god mode and fly around for a bit

[amber heath]

idk where to find my save game tho

[outer scarab]

the map is big if you try to walk

[amber heath]

yeah i've noticed the map is very big

[hard ivy]

Hover over the button and it tells you

[outer scarab]

the red forest is in the middle, there is ocean around you, there is void in some areas

pick a land mark and you will figure it out

I personally like building near the north

[amber heath]

my guy i dont know where i am, im trying to figure it out rn

okay i loaded my world in there

into the interactive map, but now it only shows what i've discovered, so it still doesnt really help me much

[hard ivy]

You can disable fog of war in the settings

[amber heath]

why is there an arachnophobia mode setting

[frail sleet]

arachnophobia

[unkempt blade]

because cats are scarier than spiders

[amber heath]

does it remove spiders or what?

[amber heath]

do you know where in settings?

[unkempt blade]

not remove exactly

[amber heath]

then what?

[hard ivy]

No, that's a different setting. Arachnophobia mode makes the spiders not look like spiders

[cunning siren]

Do we need a Ailurophobia mode too now? 🤔

[amber heath]

what do they look like then?

[cunning siren]

What if both Ailurophobia AND Arachnophobia 🤔 what will one do then?

[hard ivy]

Options -> map options -> Generate fog of war

Then refresh the page

[unkempt blade]

Probably, I love my cat but he's a menace and I fear his attacks against my feet

[hard ivy]

Cat PNGs

[amber heath]

i dont see map options anywhere

[amber heath]

they look quite funny

[unkempt blade]

vicious killing machines

[outer scarab]

you are still better off just flying around and learning yourself what the map looks like

[cunning siren]

TIL: The Modeler program has options to snap stuff to GRIDS! 🤯 My OCD can rest easy now

[amber heath]

but i just wanna find the hard drives

and i dont really like the exploration part of the game as much as the rest of it

[hard ivy]

I forgot that it even has the option to not do that XD

[outer scarab]

did you build a hand held radar?

[cunning siren]

OH my god... it was triggering me big time

[amber heath]

me? yes

[outer scarab]

just build a sky road and go around and grab what you want

you will almost always be in range of something

[amber heath]

thats even less fun tho

[outer scarab]

then dont do it

[cunning siren]

I also learned if you double click on a waypoint it creates another snap point to use!

[unkempt blade]

the map is pretty cool and imo fun to explore but if you're set on not playing that part of the game you can just enable recipes in SCIM

[hard ivy]

Now figure out how to remove it XD

Took me a while

[amber heath]

whats SCIM?

[hard ivy]

The interactive map

[cunning siren]

Yea same here

[unkempt blade]

the tool you're playing 20 questions about right now 🙂

[amber heath]

wait the website or the in-game map?

[hard ivy]

The site

[unkempt blade]

just based on context which one seems like it would have cheat stuff in it

[amber heath]

someone said i could fly around in god mode so you never know man

[hard ivy]

You can if you enable cheats

[amber heath]

do i need to sign up to do that or am i just blind and cant find the settings button

[unkempt blade]

anyone build anything cool lately? I had a dream about a SAM factory that looked like refined SAM

[hard ivy]

You need to have the save file uploaded

And that's it

[amber heath]

i have

oh wait i found it

[outer scarab]

you could just unlock everything in a new game and you wont have to explore anything too

that might be faster for you

[amber heath]

oh really?

yeah, how

[outer scarab]

when you start a game, go into advanced options

there are a bunch of options

god mode, free power, free items, unlock mam

[cunning siren]

The flight one was tempting, have yet to use any advanced options on a run yet 🤔

[amber heath]

where may i find that

[outer scarab]

advanced game settings

at the bottom after selecting new game

[unkempt blade]

Yeah I used a flying mod in EA for some of my bigger builds. The hoverpack range made it annoying to back away far enough to see what I was working on

[amber heath]

oh wait i have to make a new one?

[outer scarab]

yes but you can skip the part you have done

sounds like you havent done much yet

[amber heath]

no i havent done much but it feels like i have

nah honestly ima just explore later on then

[cunning siren]

<Slowly whispers in a snarky ADA voice> "Cheeeeaaaterrrr!" 😆

[outer scarab]

i suggest flight and unlock alternate

leave the rest alone for a first play

[unkempt blade]

yeah I didn't break that stuff out for my 1.0 save so I could get all the achievements haha

[amber heath]

i think i only want to unlock alternative if i do that

[outer scarab]

you can turn off fly mode in the game but you cant turn it on if you dont

so its up to you

[amber heath]

okay cool, thank you

[cunning siren]

I thought one could do both sort of, at least that's how it works in my "creative mode" save 🤔

[outer scarab]

can you?

[cunning siren]

Yea, if you equip jetpack and fuel then land

It seems to assume you want to use it

[outer scarab]

i guess so, oh well

i dont think he is still here

oh, it was the other options you cant do

[tidal ivy]

@violet oyster the circular design really changes everything your factory is so cool #screenshots

[cunning siren]

Whelp, I'm at a point where I'm making 25+ additional Singularity Cells 🤔 I guess it's time to see what all this portal hub bub is about

[tidal ivy]

never tried it, i stopped the game when i made my first sing cells factory 😄

[split dragon]

imagine completing the game without nuclear power and now being bored and thinking "hm... maybe i will build one. just for fun..."

[tidal ivy]

nuclear waste is terrifying as a concept

[split dragon]

it is... which is why i am going to build the plutonium set up first and then let the waste build up

[cunning siren]

Portals seem useful so far, my 🥔 PC can not handle hypertube cannon trips very well, it "chokes" pretty hard 🤔

[tidal ivy]

indeed

trains are also a nice transport system if you're patient

on the server i'm playing on we have few lines that serve as taxis

[hard ivy]

Good thing you can get rid of it

[tidal ivy]

yeah but the plutonium setup is such a headache xD

i just switched to shapez 2 and let other people deal with end game

[outer scarab]

I tab out when traveling

[tidal ivy]

same, i usually just let a netflix series run on other screen when playing

[pale dew]

kurzgesagt in background

[polar leaf]

Yeah make a giga storage on a 48x48x48 blueprint, paste three down on the void and forget

[cunning siren]

What happens If I set up a hypertube loop between portals 🤔

[tidal ivy]

pc explosion

[outer scarab]

wait, i thought you couldnt post media in this channel

[tidal ivy]

can post stickers

[hushed canopy]

if only i could make open liquid storage, where i could take a break by bathing in sulfuric acid in between figuring how to efficiently produce aluminum products and doing math for large factories

[hushed canopy]

thank you grimmer this is perfect

[outer scarab]

I am actually disapointed there is no way to just dump liquid out of a pipe

I would love to see chemical spills in this game

[hushed canopy]

replace the entire ocean with acid or rocketfuel

[tidal ivy]

gave me headaches when i started aluminium setups

[hushed canopy]

imagine a pipe bursting and suddenly there is a big area where fire is a nono

[tidal ivy]

so i just made a wet concret setup with limestone surplus

[hushed canopy]

or it blows tf up

[tidal ivy]

imagine filling a room with nitrogen gas and getting high from it

[outer scarab]

Yah I figured out that if you just loop the output back into the input with 2 valves controling the flow, it's not an issue

[hushed canopy]

bruh i already get high from constantly using turbo ammo

[outer scarab]

I get high with a little help from my friends

[pale dew]

Guys if i need 5.25 foundries, should i build 5 or 6?

[hushed canopy]

the jitters

[outer scarab]

6

[pale dew]

alr ty

[outer scarab]

always build more production than you need

[hushed canopy]

nah just build 5, overclock one to 125%

[outer scarab]

some people will say build 6 and underclock

[hushed canopy]

alternatively

make 4 and overclock

[outer scarab]

underclock doesnt really do anything if you have a battery though

[hushed canopy]

to 250% and get that sweet surplus

[outer scarab]

alternatntly you can save power by making 100x the factory set to 1% underclock

[cunning siren]

I guess portals are OK, kind of lame each main portal needs to consume Singularity Cells though 🤔

[hushed canopy]

the biofuel playthrough be like

[outer scarab]

my friend, who got me into this game, tried to explain that you dont need more factory to speed things up, you just need to let your PC run the game over night

dude never used a splitter

[hushed canopy]

he was wrong

[outer scarab]

1 node, 1 smelter

[hushed canopy]

i enjoy splitter math enormously

[cunning siren]

I can ONLY have 12 portals running at once? Pfffff, lame 😆

[hushed canopy]

lets me calculate how much i put in the SINK while still having 100% efficiency

[outer scarab]

you just need to lick some moon juice to get them portals

[hushed canopy]

so my shii dont clog

[woeful kelp]

finally i buy this game, im so happy!

[outer scarab]

good for you deep

[hushed canopy]

nice

[outer scarab]

good time to get into the game

[hushed canopy]

say bye to all your freetime for the foreseeable future

[outer scarab]

This game ate 4000 hours of COVID lock down

[hushed canopy]

and get your napkins ready cause if u wanna get good, you wanna do math

[outer scarab]

I finished 20 audio books playing this

[hushed canopy]

jesus

[granite ether]

do i report bugs in #1038092680493801533 ?

[outer scarab]

the hardest math in this is doing stuff like 1200 / 12

[hushed canopy]

napkin math

[outer scarab]

there is a built in calculator in the game though

[hushed canopy]

true

depends if you are used to doing hand writing or pc writing i suppose

[outer scarab]

i use to use notepads

[hushed canopy]

most of my school years we did essays on paper

[outer scarab]

is that not what people do?

I didn't type up a paper until I was in college

heck I didnt learn how to type until my 3rd year of Highschool

[pale dew]

imagine if machines automatically set their recipe based on the input

[hushed canopy]

kinda same for me, but these days i have heard there is more and more done on a pc

[unkempt blade]

In our area they've been using kind of chromebook tier laptops for a while now from middle school on up

[outer scarab]

I still dont understand why you have to tell a smelter what to make....

[ashen belfry]

Gaming ruined my 10 finger typing lol

[hushed canopy]

although fk that if i ever become a teacher all o that is going on white sheets of processed wood

[granite ether]

just ctrl c + ctrl v its not that hard

[outer scarab]

just people trying to complain why this game isnt better like Factorio

[pale dew]

play league youll learn to type 5 word sentences in under 5 s

[ashen belfry]

They are completely different though.
In core the same, but different

[pale dew]

im not complaing im just saying

subnautica hologram building would be cool too

like you can place a hologram and bring stuff later

there should be a suggestion box chanel here

[arctic marten]

When they adding lmgs to satis

[pale dew]

cant tell if you want a light machinegun or if you mistyped a type of fuel

cuz both could be here

[outer scarab]

every suggestion has been suggested already

[arctic marten]

Machine guns

I still get mauled every time by those hogs

Even though I have nuke novelists

Nobelisks

[unkempt blade]

http://questions.satisfactorygame.com/ suggest stuff or upvote an existing suggestion

[outer scarab]

have you tried jumping?

[pale dew]

not even, small ones can be juked lol

jsut walk sideways

[arctic marten]

Yeah I’m

[outer scarab]

slide jumping avoids literally everything

[arctic marten]

Ik

Problem is I have a 1998 windows keyboard

[harsh valley]

I just found 50 computers total from wrecks

[pale dew]

Why?

[arctic marten]

Not literally but practically

[harsh valley]

Should i put everything in the sink?

[pale dew]

why would you

[pale dew]

all the thjings that youre overproducing and you dont need

[harsh valley]

I'm talking about computers i found in wrecks

[pale dew]

then no

[harsh valley]

I'm still at phase 2

[pale dew]

leave em, youll need em later and thats just 1 slot

[arctic marten]

When ur a broke uni student and that’s the only thing u find on eBay for 15€

Well it’s not exactly a 1998 keyboard but it basically is

[unkempt blade]

because those buckling spring switch keyboards are addictive

[arctic marten]

lmao

[pale dew]

i literally typed keyboard and ive found acer one for less then 15 euro

[arctic marten]

Yeah I’m just unlucky then

Anyways I’m switching keyboards anyways cause a friend is lending me his

So satisfactory is gonna be grinded

[unkempt blade]

that's going to be way worse than a decently maintained IBM keyboard from 1998

plus you can use the IBM keyboard for self defense if you have someone break into your house

[arctic marten]

It’s not actually a keyboard from 1998😭

[arctic marten]

Nah that’s actually wild

[pale dew]

idk man i got a keyboard for like 60 euro

[unkempt blade]

model m is way more expensive

[pale dew]

i had a 110%

but i now have tkl, its so much better

[ashen belfry]

If they had delivered my keyboard I would have had a 2,6kg brick of aluminum.
Talk about self defense lol

[unkempt blade]

that's fine, I'm just here to meme about factory carts and 30 year old keyboards

[arctic marten]

That’s a W mindset

[ashen belfry]

Now its only 1,6kg

[tidal ivy]

love ur name

[weak shoal]

can a mk1 pipe transport the amount of crude oil coming from 4 oil extractors?

[weak shoal]

or should i use 2 pipes?

[tidal ivy]

depends on node purity

mk1 pipe = 300m3 / m

[unkempt blade]

what purity and are you overclocking the extractors?

[tidal ivy]

Oil Extractor
Impure 60
Normal 120
Pure 240

enjoy maths

[weak shoal]

2 are normal ad 2 impure

yes i should use two then

[tidal ivy]

then 60+60+120+120 = 360

[weak shoal]

i don't want any of it wasted

[unkempt blade]

oil extractors are generally worth overclocking too if you're going to be using some fraction of it for making fuel for fuel generators

[tidal ivy]

fuel gens take so much space tho

[unkempt blade]

yeah but 2 of them is going to pay for overclocking all 4 of those nodes to max with some power left over 😄

[tidal ivy]

indeed

[spare ice]

Hey guys, when placing stuff in dim depot, like ammo and fuel, is there anyway to still display how much I have left in bottom left corner ?

[cunning siren]

Oh man, first time messsing with jelly landing pad

Kind of a chill hang out location

[woeful kelp]

i just finish the level 0, now what i need to do?

[cunning siren]

"Need to do" nothing

Want to do? 🤔

[harsh valley]

I thought i was doing well until i cheked versatile framework and automated wiring recipe

[tidal ivy]

not sure to understand the question

[tidal ivy]

i'd go for level 1 😄

[spark sky]

Snapping bug? #screenshots message

[spare ice]

For instance when I put fuel and ammo in the dim depot. The bottom left corner that displays how much ammo and fuel I got left is set to 0 and keeps blinking yellow !

[tidal ivy]

could you maybe post a screenshot in #screenshots or create a topic in #1038092680493801533 ?

would make it easier to help you tbh

[spare ice]

Sure 😄 I was trying to figure out how to post screens here 😄

[tidal ivy]

cant in the main channel 😄

ohh i see

i had the same issue, tbh i gave up on it

maybe others will be able to help you

[spare ice]

I see 😉 THank you anyways tho 😄

[bold heron]

are there any changes regarding controls or so, whit consol release ?
or do nothing change if i already use a controller for example on steam deck ?

[unkempt blade]

I think it's fun to let the pioneer go splat the first time you use a HT cannon so you can put a jelly pad where you land (if you can resist touching the keyboard in flight)

[spark sky]

I think you have a bit of a misunderstanding. If I'm not mistaken, your screenshot is showing the icons that show what ammo and fuel you have left in your inventory. Stuff you put in the DD does not automatically go into your inventory. To have ammo and fuel for the gear you are using, you need to manually pull a stack out of the DD in your inventory screen and actually carry it.

[tidal ivy]

true

[spare ice]

AAA I seee 😉

[tidal ivy]

i forgor that 💀

[cunning siren]

I think the jelly landing pad bugged me out when I had boom box held inside, now when i fly i get the running head bob animaiton while holding boom box 😆

OH using Turbobass ™ fixed it... as all things turbo do

[spark sky]

Should I put a bug report in https://discord.com/channels/370472939054956546/1038092680493801533 ?

[cunning siren]

Sure, add the other 20 i've found and not reported too 😆

[spark sky]

Sorry, but, I can't read your mind.

[unkempt blade]

http://questions.satisfactorygame.com/

[cunning siren]

WOH, the music goes jank in the jelly pad!

I'm not sure why that did not happen before 🤔

Now I get to listen to all the tracks with this new twist

[spark sky]

Um, okay, but my screenshots are on here.

Can I put links to the Discord screenshots in there, or do I need to copy the screenshots and repost them there?

[cunning siren]

Awww, boom box set down inside jelly does not change outside music, that logic does not track

[spark sky]

What is this jelly you speak of?

Are you talking about a landing pad?

[cunning siren]

I suggest making one and checking it out

[spark sky]

For some reason, I don't trust those things.

But, then again, I have a parachute.

[cunning siren]

WOH! The goat music tape is playing inside the jelly and when I walked in and out now it's playing another tapes music AND it says it's still goat music! WTF

I wonder if this is some kind of easter egg to find a hidden track

[spark sky]

It's turned the boom box from cassette to 8-track.

You know, I've never looked into how the music is recorded on an 8-track tape.

Then again, I've never actually had an 8-track tape player.

[cunning siren]

8-track tape looks like a cartridge for an Atari

[spark sky]

My sister's ex had quadraphonic records (and sound system), though.

[cunning siren]

This is not that

[amber heath]

what are the led light strips that i see some people having called?

where you can type something or just put neon lights

[spark sky]

Is that from a mod?

[amber heath]

i dont think so

oh yeah

label sign

needs quartz tho

[tidal ivy]

they're very useful

i recommend having a quartz factory early game

[vernal sierra]

I'm not sure where else to put this but I ha a thought. What if the game engine is able to detect the current real world time form the computer? You could thus set the game to use real time instead of the current time method.

[hard ivy]

SkyUI can do that

[vernal sierra]

Is that a mod?

[pale dew]

finally my 2400MW is not enough

[unkempt blade]

I'm not an employee I just know they pay attention to the QA site for bugs

[cunning siren]

Jelly landing pad works well for portal exits 🤔

Allows you to "go in hot and fast" and come out slow and cool

[jaunty jewel]

my latest playthrough makes absolutely no sense i am 20 hours in with no steel production for some reason i keep finding other things to do

[unkempt blade]

sounds great, I like when the game isn't a race

[jaunty jewel]

i love that ive finally got this to happen where i can enjoy the game without being at phase 4 in 6 femtoseconds

[cunning siren]

Got 173 hours in this last playthrough and I took my sweet time

[tribal pelican]

why when i put brackets in a elevator name it turns black

[pale dew]

finally getting into ammo production

[cunning siren]

Secret warp zone elevator now?

[harsh valley]

Is a hyper tube cannon lethal with full health and no jetpack/parachute

[hard ivy]

fall damage is capped at like 99

[harsh valley]

Nice

Is there a way to calculate how many entrances i need?

[jaunty jewel]

yes, place some, if its not enough place more, if its too much remove some

[harsh valley]

Is there a tutorial somewhere how to build it?

[solemn crystal]

its not that hard

[hard ivy]

on the wiki

[harsh valley]

Yea except i have no idea how to

[solemn crystal]

just make small instances of a hypertube

[dense violet]

look up on youtube

[solemn crystal]

then check the wiki or yt

[harsh valley]

Ok

I finally found SAM

Was about time

[dense violet]

find one for version 1 or 1.1

[spark sky]

Hm, biomass burners can't use coal, right?

(I was just looking at the constructor alternate recipes under biomass and found a couple recipes that made charcoal and biocoal, but when I select them, the output just says "coal".)

[cunning siren]

Good thing about coal gens is they CAN charge power storage

Let the lazy power days begin!

[white dawn]

Yeah, those are mostly there to give you some ways to produce coal out in "the field," presumably if you find yourself needing to hand-construct some stuff in the workbench

Some folks do find use in the biocoal/charcoal recipes but IMO they're the most niche alt recipes by far

[spark sky]

Well, I don't see why I would need that, then. I have a pure coal node near where I started.

(Nice for early steel production.)

[cunning siren]

Ain't nobody gonna turn their biomass into something other than liquid biofuel 🤷

[spark sky]

I'm still doing solid biofuel. Other than that and liquid biofuel, what do you suggest?

[rigid mist]

4.7 gw of geothermal and 64800 mwh of battery (still 15hrs left to charge)

[cunning siren]

Nice...

[rigid mist]

wait can you overclock geothermal

[white dawn]

Yeah, most folks are more apt to say "biocoal/charcoal sucks" than "biocoal/charcoal are extremely niche." :D Most folks aren't gonna find a use for 'em.

[cunning siren]

Packaged Liquid Biofuel is the goat for jetpack, if you do not already have it setup

[limpid cairn]

biocoal and charcoal are really nice when you have a mini semi auto factory lol

[white dawn]

Still, in the best-case scenario you'll get a hard drive which "rolled" both of them, and then you can just leave that drive unselected in your Library, and never be bothered by them again. :)

[white dawn]

Yeah, could be useful for that too, of course. :D

[spark sky]

I haven't gotten to liquid biofuel, I'm still preparing for Phase 2 (but, again, thanks to the lizzard doggos, I've done the research on geothermal).

[cunning siren]

Oh yea... workin' the system

[spark sky]

24 lizzard doggos are quite handy, if you remember to grab the stuff they "find".

[cunning siren]

Scan for those geysers and get your ez mode power on

[spark sky]

They must find the stuff in another dimension, because they are confined to their kennel.

And, my friend already set up some geothermal, I would have to shut down other parts of the grid to find out just how much (it fluctuates, thus the use of storage).

[rigid mist]

hmm 7.5 mk 4 belts

[dense violet]

how else are you going to turn pigs into uranium rods?

[spark sky]

Pigs?

[dense violet]

meat from bigs
into bio mass
into bio coal
converted with SAM ore to make uranium rods 😛

if you sloop the pig meat you don't need very much pm to make lots of rods

[spark sky]

So, you make uranium rods without any uranium?

[dense violet]

pretty much

[hard ivy]

Just plug a coal miner to the depot at that point

[dense violet]

it's a silly idea but it works xD

bio coal can also be used for temporary processes you don't need on all the time. Like ammunition. Just dump bio matter whenever you get back to base and you'll get bullets

that way you don't need a coal node nearby

[spark sky]

But, I have a pure coal node near enough, and 4 normal for my coal power plant (and I know where there are more between here and the desert).

[limpid cairn]

atp i can just get a coal belt to the factory

[spark sky]

Um, what is "atp"?

Did you mean "atm"?

(Er, "ATM".)

[dense violet]

... yes but you don't always have a pure coal node next to you

unless you're using mods that create nodes

like Iron Wire is often useful when you don't have a Copper node next to you

[spark sky]

Well, I also know where there is oil, once I get that unlocked.

[dense violet]

and?

[spark sky]

I've explored quite a bit, had to find those doggos.

[hard ivy]

Then why are you even considering wasting a drive on biocoal XD

[dense violet]

nm I don't think you're getting it and it's bed time for me, gl

[hard ivy]

At this/that point

[spark sky]

Ah, okay, thanks. I've not seen anyone use that before.

I was thinking "At the p?"

[limpid cairn]

because the other recipe was screw HMF and i didnt want it and im an idiot kinda too

[hard ivy]

Could also be Adenosine triphosphate XD

[spark sky]

But, I thought we were supposed to be feeding those things into the DD so we didn't have to make them on the fly.

[spark sky]

Well, yes, but we were not talking about biology, and I don't think Satisfactory can use that for energy (even though that is a main energy source in biological organisms).

And in the context it was in, that wouldn't have made any sense (not that everything people write in here makes sense).

In fact, I don't know that anyone has come up with a non-biological way to use ATP as a fuel source.

[plucky flower]

How to see your save file

[spark sky]

That should be a pinned answer somewhere. It's in %appdata%\Local\FactoryGame\SavedGames\

[peak harness]

HYe guys

I have a big BIG question

my adhd is acting up so before i waste my time, does anyone already write the amount of raw recouce needed to complete phase 5?

[spark sky]

Probably, somewhere.

I'm still on Phase 2.

[peak harness]

Awww, cause i wanna post it on reddit about my finding and math

[spark sky]

So, you're not looking for the information, you're looking to give it?

[peak harness]

yes, cause i love telling peole random math facts

im a math lover

[spark sky]

Nice, so, what do you call .5 + sqrt 1.25 (it's a transcendental number that has a couple of names)?

[peak harness]

HUH

[hard ivy]

You can roughly estimate it using a calculator, but I don't think anyone has ever bothered to calculate it exactly. I haven't seen it, at least

[peak harness]

I lie cause i frogot. My adhd just want to know how many raw recourses to finish phase 5

[spark sky]

Like PI, you can't calculate it exactly, and it does have a relation to PI.

[peak harness]

HEHE, wow. This gonna be fun

See you later guys. Gonna go do math

[cosmic pawn]

made a second line of coal gens and we making over 1k wats

we gaming

[spark sky]

(I just thought that, if he was a math buff, he would know that one.)

[peak harness]

btw, the fact the we could produce over 3 times humanity power comsumtion without cool sloops is funny

or with sloops. It been a while since i calc that

[hard ivy]

Well, I do. I just had to put it through a calculator because I've never seen it written as 0.5 + √(1.25)

It's always been (1 + √5)/2 for me

[peak harness]

1.61 something

[fossil flume]

Hello, So we are having an issue where no unlocks actually increase our inventory size
what can we do?

[spark sky]

Well, my way is shorter. You still haven't said the name, though.

[peak harness]

online sam

[spark sky]

It's much easier to draw it with a compass and straight edge.

[spare ice]

Does train rails need to be in a loop? or can it just go back and forth?

[fossil flume]

what

[hard ivy]

φ

[peak harness]

sam?

inventory size

or stack size

[fossil flume]

inventory size

the slots, we upgrade them , but they dont increase it, nor from research nor from the hub

[peak harness]

its for sam if im not wrong

the dimensional storage

[cosmic pawn]

where do i exactly find sulphur so i can boost my energy production

[fossil flume]

its not, its players inventory storage, its says +6 inventory slots, the upgrade doesnt go up

[peak harness]

sound like glitch

[spark sky]

There is a research node that says it doubles the stack size in the DD.

[fossil flume]

Like Tier 3 Upgrade, Enhanced Asset Security

• +1 Hand Equipment
• +3 Inventory Slots

neither worked, we still only have 3 hand equipment slots and no more inventory slots

Then Harddrive was meant to give us 6, Didint work, MAM research from silica, was meant to give us 6
Stil ldidint work

[spark sky]

Hm...

[hard ivy]

Inventory and hand slots are bugged if you skip onboarding

[cosmic pawn]

when do i unlock Sulphur for the object scanner?

[peak harness]

Guys what type of chart should i use for this small msth project?

[fossil flume]

can we do anything to "fix" it?

[peak harness]

Tree root? Bubble? Notes? Or flow chart?

[hard ivy]

You get more than you should get when you do that so the first few upgrades don't work so in the end you have as many as you should have

[hard ivy]

When you find some and research it

[cosmic pawn]

where does it normally spawn

[cunning siren]

I've had that happen before, one can use the save game editor here to fix it: https://satisfactory-calculator.com/en/interactive-map

[neon vault]

why on programable spliter there is ,,beryl nut" (food) but not pale berry or bacon agaric ?

[hard ivy]

Just find one or 2 small sulfur rocks. They should be everywhere

[spark sky]

@hard ivy Since you love balancers: #screenshots message

[cosmic pawn]

guessing it is the typical yellow like sulphur typically is

[cunning siren]

The ore deposit (Not node) locations are static and the type is random so 🤷. There is a chance that a deposit will respawn so mine all deposits for that reason

[unkempt blade]

I'm not really sure but out of curiosity do you have any of those food types in your inventory/hand slots?

[neon vault]

yes i have

[severe sun]

When am I really “supposed” to unlock the dimensional depot? since I just finished tier 4 and I already have one

[unkempt blade]

ahh ok, was wondering if it might only be showing what you currently had or something weird like that

[neon vault]

no i tryed that

[peak harness]

Should i use flow chart to calc recouce amount?

[cunning siren]

It can be unlocked very early so... it's not really limited by anything special

[neon vault]

i wanted to make drop off box with sorter to other boxes and found out there is no smart spliter / programable spliter for food but there is for fluid that you cant sort

it makes no sense for me

[severe sun]

I was just wondering if there was some community made unspoken rule about it lol

[cunning siren]

Not that I know of 🤔 most multiplayer games I've played unlock it ASAP

[unkempt blade]

this is mostly a sandbox game, people should play however is fun 😄

if you're doing exploration stuff (to get spheres) you can unlock the depot stuff really early

[mortal ginkgo]

I would say at phase 2 since you can get explosives to go in caves that SAM resides in.

It is a MAM research and there is no rule on when you can get them. Majority of them can be taken early.

[unkempt blade]

automating sam fluctuators need a manufacturer (phase 3) but you can handcraft that item waaaaay earlier if you unlock it in the MAM

[mortal ginkgo]

there is also no reason to automate them until very end

[unkempt blade]

yeah it's not very large quantities of them if you're just doing depot stuff

[severe sun]

Also I’ve just heard about the water tower trick, and I’m wondering if one can support the whole pipe grid?

[hard ivy]

You can unlock it before even completing phase 1

[peak harness]

Guys I need help

[jaunty jewel]

although you wont be able to upgrade it much

[peak harness]

I still dont know what website to use when calculating recouces

[severe sun]

Oh right since you can get steel pipes from wrecks?

[hard ivy]

http://satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production

[mortal ginkgo]

and Doggos.

I had 7 doggos that constantly gave me them

still, I say you dont need them until phase 2

[cunning siren]

Yea doggos can give 18 steel pipe

[severe sun]

But does anyone have an answer to my question?

[mortal ginkgo]

Yes.

[unkempt blade]

afaik that headlift trick still works but if you're new to pipes it might be easier to just use pumps until you figure out the basics

[hard ivy]

If you use the valve exploit, possibly

[cunning siren]

Here ya go: https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/images/Pipeline_Manual.pdf <--- "The basics" 😆

[mortal ginkgo]

I love how this system needs an actual manual while the belt manual would be just "just link stuff bruh"

[severe sun]

Thanks y’all, this is one of the best communities I’ve ever seen when it comes to being helpful and honestly just fun to be around

[mortal ginkgo]

Also this doesn't explain why one side gets prioritized if you got a pipe manifold that feeds from both ends and meet at middle

[cunning siren]

I've got a lot of hours and I still learn quirky shit about this game every day

[unkempt blade]

I do feel like we see a lot of "how do I split X into Y and Z" type questions in here for a conveyor system that's at least somewhat more intuitive than pipes

[spark sky]

@hard ivy Did you look at that vertical load balancer?

[mortal ginkgo]

Belt solution: "just manifold bruh"
Pipe solution: "Read reddit posts where 420 posts will talk about 69 ways and NONE of them will ever work 100% of the time for everyone in a stable manner"

"No it doesn't work for me."
"It 100% works lol skill issue."
"Can confirm but after a few hours it starts not working"
...
"ur mom lol"

[unkempt blade]

yeah the answer is usually "don't get fancy with splitters, just limit what the consumers on Y and Z use to hit your magic number"

[mortal ginkgo]

what baffles me is the fact that an intergalactic factory company got no clue about what a "sorter/inserter" is, which is the most common thing to have.

[vernal sierra]

A good planner would help.

[mortal ginkgo]

We don't plan. We consume.

[plucky flower]

Bruh, why is it when I buy quickwire it just disappears, like I just got scammed by Fiscit for 4 tickets

BOOHOO!

[green fiber]

its in the second tab of the shop.

[mortal ginkgo]

check the "inventory" tab of the Awesome Shop

[vernal sierra]

I'm talking about Satisfactory Modeler.

[plucky flower]

Okay

Just got 1k quickwire apperantly

[mortal ginkgo]

dont be so quick on using them 😏

[plucky flower]

Yeah lol

[spark sky]

You know, having a blueprint manager in the game would help, too (rename/delete/copy or move to another save directory, etc...).

[mortal ginkgo]

Blueprint system is an after thought in this game. Like, literally. Devs only did it because of the large player demand.

We just might as well be thankful that it exists...

[spark sky]

It's a good thing I have a nice, 2-panel file manager.

With tabs.

[cunning siren]

YOU... your the blueprint manager 😆

[spark sky]

You know, they asked me at work if I wanted to be a manager. I said, "No!" Now you're telling me that I'm a manager anyway?

"Who's the captain?" "You are!" "No, who's in charge of this ship?" "You're the ranking officer, so you are!" ::sigh::

[unkempt blade]

unless you're speedrunning or something I'd generally suggest not buying items in the awesome shop. It'll make other stuff cost a lot more points to unlock if you care about it

[spark sky]

Well, don't buy parts, just recipes.

[plucky flower]

Okay

Thanks

[solar hamlet]

I should push through research until I reach geothermal power... So I can run around the map and grab them all and ignore power for few more hours 😄

[polar leaf]

💀

You could get like 10GW from fuel in an hour

[solar hamlet]

I definitely couldn't. But someone else could for sure 😄

[rigid glen]

10GW from fuel is 1200 oil into 20 refineries into 40 fuel gens

not too hard

The basic setup for 2500mw is 300 oil into 5 refineries into 10 gens

WAY less work than map scouring for geo

[hard ivy]

You can get 40 GW from 1200 oil and some water

[rich flicker]

Anyone knows why my new save file mam tree just fails to work and unlock further down the tree?

[mortal ginkgo]

Yes I know the exact reason.

[rich flicker]

What am I doing wrong then 🥲

[mortal ginkgo]

You asked a question that is impossible to know.

[true mulch]

mods? multiplayer? AGS? tried save+reload?

[rich flicker]

No mods, Multiplayer and tried reloading/new saves too

[deft wagon]

question, should i use a load balancer or a manifold to send he components to make uranium fuel rods to the manufactures

[rigid glen]

both are viable, manifolds just need preloading where possible

[peak harness]

Guys i got a problem with the satisfactory tools where it said i dont have enough resources even tho I just want to make 1 assembly director system

[rigid glen]

balancers are usually space consuming

[tribal pelican]

guys why when i put brackets in elevator floor names the text label becomes black

[deft wagon]

Like produce the components to fill all the manufactures up then start production?

[hard ivy]

Probably because you disabled something that it needs

[peak harness]

Very inconvenient but hey. Im not that good enough

[rigid glen]

Manifolds always fill the back parts slowly, adding a stack of materials to each machine can help that

[peak harness]

Thanks btw

[deft wagon]

Makes sense, thank you!
I'll just put storage containers on all of them and wait a bit

[hard ivy]

Or you can just let them fill themselves. It usually doesn't take that long

[spark sky]

Well, if you have a 6-kilometer manifold...

[rigid glen]

This is ok, but not necessary. Run all your belts in the manifold and add 1 stack to each mahcine, that shoulsd let the belts catch up

[rigid glen]

mentally healthy people don't do this, why would you ever do this

[deft wagon]

Alright

[spark sky]

I can see Let's Game It Out doing this, then having spaghetti belts coming off of it.

[rigid glen]

You made my point

[hard ivy]

Why would you spread out 1 belt's worth of machines over 6 km lmao

[spark sky]

Oh, and make sure you use Mk 1 belts.

[rigid glen]

Why do people think acting dumb on purpose is good for anything?

https://youtu.be/SSub88QLpsY?si=YI6acTTCYhyt8qG7

[spark sky]

@hard ivy Next you're going to tell me there was a stream watching paint dry. Again, did you see that vertical load balancer? It's my third try at one.

[hard ivy]

Of course there was

[spark sky]

Vertical load balancers are interesting, but complex to build.

[cunning siren]

Once I realized snap points for pipes do not line up when mixing horizontal and vertical snap points... I had to re-do all mah blueprints 😭

[spark sky]

There is (currently) no way to have the input to the vertical load balancer in the center of a vertical lift, feeding the lift in both directions (up and down).

[spark sky]

In what way?

[cunning siren]

If i snap a junction to a horizontal surface AND then one to a vertical surface AND then I nudge one over to the other... the join points do not perfectly align It's close AND not perfect

[hard ivy]

Yeah, it's annoying. It'd make my work so much easier (and more compact and without clipping)

[spark sky]

Hm, I just put a straight vertical pipe and put the X junction on it.

[hard ivy]

Frankly, I'm having trouble figuring out what kind of balancer it even is. Looks like a 1:18 or 1:27 but it has 2 more splitters than those would need

[violet brook]

Haven't hit phase 1 yet and am currently remodeling my iron mines (I have about 6 being used, 2 more deposits that are available in a close but separate area). What is a good ratio of Plates/Iron Rods/Screws that the 180 ingots per minute should utilize?

[spark sky]

It's a 1 (on the bottom) to 18 load balancer (6 on each floor).

[spark sky]

Sorry, there are two mergers on each of the side balancers, the splitters between them load the upper and lower parts of those balancers. It was the only way to feed vertically both up and down from the middle. I had to build the bottom part and remove the top of the lift, then the top part and remove the bottom of the lift, then piece the two blueprints together.

[spark sky]

Would it help if you saw the top and bottom blueprints shown without the splitters between them, along side what I have there? I would be interested in seeing any vertical splitter designs that you have built.

YouTube doesn't have much by way of showing actual working uses, just "here's how to put splitters and mergers on vertical lifts."

[cunning siren]

WOH, I'm looking at a Turbo Rifle Ammo recipe... in a blender! Wuuuuut?! How did that happen?

Neat, I guess there is an option to forgo packaging the turbo fuel 🤔 did not know

[shy fog]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4Ls75TNLX0 Doc on vertical splitters...

yes I know... he done nearly everything so doc is a resource

easier to use the manifold though https://www.youtube.com/shorts/0q_D4uspL_s

[scenic python]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1136070193257386088/1426879504042950738/caption.gif

[spark sky]

Yeah, still not a lot of explanation. No examples of using them to make a vertical load balancer in an actual factory situation. My design works, but without building multiple blueprints and putting them together, it would not have happened.

[peak harness]

THe math is finished, just need to make the picture and sent it to reddit

I have no means of recording the process of building one. I can stream in Discord in a voice chat, but can't capture the stream to post anywhere.

download OBS 🙂

[peak harness]

let just say that we need millions of raw resources to complete all phase

[shy fog]

I'm in phase 5 and half done with the two main pieces to do being the warp drive and the expansion server... and I'm half ready for the latter

[peak harness]

i could tell you that

3 million copper ore will be used

[shy fog]

that's already mostly in the past

last steps ahead of me is the waiting, because I did everything manually I could

[peak harness]

Damn

[cunning siren]

Manually grinding copper powder... Oooooof

[split dragon]

well i just box crafted everything. took me around 126h to beat the game. no nuclear power involed because of that

[hollow mason]

im very confused, ive got 3 coal power plants set up, all have their own water collector and 2 coal mines split between them

but the grind keeps crashing non stop

[pale dew]

I need 70 refineries.

[reef basin]

are you consuming more power than you can make?

[hollow mason]

nah making way more than im consuming

cap 550 max 350

[pale dew]

is needing 70 refineries for ammo normal?

phase 3

[hollow mason]

so far this run is going better maybe it was just buggins

[reef basin]

how much are you making?

[pale dew]

840 smokeless powder

./min

[reef basin]

I mean final product?

[pale dew]

i havent unlocked ammo recipies

wait

fuck idk the claculator is weird

[reef basin]

wait until you know how much you need, no reason to guess in advance

[reef basin]

which one?

[pale dew]

sftools

[reef basin]

what's "weird"?

[pale dew]

cuz the calculator is wanting me to use sam

[reef basin]

disable converter if you don't want to use SAM

(or disable SAM)

[pale dew]

idk i think im high

1000 rifle ammo /min is only

113 bpowder

your right why am i trying to make 800 per min

[reef basin]

20 ammo/min is max you can use

[hollow mason]

i fixed it by doing nothing?? W

[pale dew]

huh

[reef basin]

rifle is 5 rounds/s, one "ammo" is 15 rounds, which is one round per 3 secs usage (or 20 per minute)

and that's assuming you're firing 24/7

(at least according to wiki)

[pale dew]

ig ima go with 600/min and just sink the overflow

[tribal pelican]

bro why are elevator reflections so broken

[pale dew]

that makes 22 refineries

damn.

[peak harness]

GUys i dont think i will do the project, my adhd drive is lowering

[cosmic pawn]

how do i get the truck station to fill a truck with items and am i able to have the truck just from one stop to another on it's own if it has fuel?

[pale dew]

the station has a button "package/unpackage" orsmthn like that

And yes it has an autopilot

[cosmic pawn]

i'd have to either have a massive stockpile of coal or biofuel to have to do it automatically

[pale dew]

one coal node is more then enough

at a certain point i was running 4 coal plants and 2 sugarcubes off 1 pure coal node

with mk1

[polar leaf]

rookie numbers #screenshots message

[pale dew]

What

[polar leaf]

btw is it overkill

[pale dew]

the

fuck

[polar leaf]

I need a plastic rubber / factory and I want to use all crude oil

cus crude oil is either power or plastic / rubber

and I alrady turned it into power might aswell use the rest for plastic / rubber

I might reduce it to half otherwise I'll take a month to finish this shit and will probably have a burnout in the middle of the way

[peak harness]

GUYS, I did some math and to complete phase 1 to 5, you need to collect over 2.2 MILLION coal

2,248,650 using the base recipe

[polar leaf]

ok so 50 seconds with maxed out nodes

💀

[peak harness]

or mining the whole world for coal for 53 sec

[cosmic pawn]

how do i turn on the autopilot for the sugarcube

[polar leaf]

what

[cosmic pawn]

unless i am blind

[polar leaf]

sugarcube?

[peak harness]

Yes, which make it more crazy that we just mine it easily

[cosmic pawn]

truck

whatever people call it idk

[polar leaf]

idk I have 750 hours and never used trucks

[prime rampart]

Trucks 🤮

[polar leaf]

Trains are easier to setup, easier to manage and easier to expand

[peak harness]

phase 5 need 1.9 millions coal

[polar leaf]

and easier to feed

[cosmic pawn]

i am in stage 1

[peak harness]

I have the whole things

[polar leaf]

so u dont have trucks

[peak harness]

I could share if you wanna

[polar leaf]

trucks is like phase 3

[prime rampart]

Conveyors

[cosmic pawn]

i guess

i just didn't want half the world to be covered in them

[prime rampart]

Heh

[peak harness]

hey guys, I heard you can beat the game in 100 hours

[pale dew]

were talking about sugar cube, not trucks

[polar leaf]

why interrogation mark truck is literally phase 3

[prime rampart]

Yea 94hours and im so burned out automating shit

[polar leaf]

😭

[pale dew]

sugarcube the goat of all automobiles

[peak harness]

sugarcube?

[polar leaf]

I think he means tractors

[cosmic pawn]

the tractor

[pale dew]

tractor

[peak harness]

aah

[pale dew]

THE GAME LITERALLY SAYS

[cosmic pawn]

probably call it then because it's just a cube

[pale dew]

ITS CALLED SUGARCUBE

[peak harness]

Sorry

[polar leaf]

wtf is sugarcube bro

[cosmic pawn]

on wheels

[pale dew]

goddamn.

[peak harness]

I dont buy the game nor play it

actually

[polar leaf]

yeah nvm checked the wiki apparently you're right

[pale dew]

https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Tractor Read the goddamn 1 line.

[cosmic pawn]

how do you turn on the autopilot for it?

[pale dew]

loll

[polar leaf]

never seen it ingame tho

never seen a single man call it sugarcube ngl

💀

[pale dew]

ficsit ai says pioneers call it sugarcube cuz its cute or smthn

[peak wasp]

in t4 and t5 we need more rubben or plastic?

[polar leaf]

idk prob plastic

depends a lot on what you're doing

[peak harness]

the fandom wiki is sooo outdate

[polar leaf]

it's fucking dogshit bro

[peak wasp]

thanks! 😄

[peak harness]

no 1.0 facts

[peak harness]

the space elvator stuck at 0.5

[polar leaf]

use this https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki

Fandom is terrible full of Ads and outdated as hell

[peak harness]

idk why but the wiki just dont go first on edge

[cosmic pawn]

how do you enabled it's autopilot? is it a keybind or?

[peak harness]

link for my research

[peak wasp]

anyone have a good link for interactive map updated?

[pale dew]

i can have 48 fuel plants along side my 32 coal plants

[hard ivy]

https://satisfactory-calculator.com/en/interactive-map

[pale dew]

oh didnt mean to reply mb

[peak harness]

this is the link for a research i did, to see the amount of raw meterial needed to create the space station and complete all the phase

[cosmic pawn]

oh i am very stupid

i found it

[peak wasp]

thanks ! but flag 4x crude oil in-245/90 but the game reveal me only 3 D:

[peak wasp]

sorry i not udnerstand the linkj of plants with rubben and plsatic ^^"

[pale dew]

.,

[cosmic pawn]

omg it's driving

i did it

[pale dew]

congrats

[cosmic pawn]

forgot how fast i goes and i have to catch up lol

i am slowly learning stuff

[pale dew]

oh, just wait for big ratios

[peak harness]

HII, im back

[cosmic pawn]

it's having a hard time with the path i made

i should make a road

how do i make it stay and refuel?

do i crack the wait time to like 30 seconds?

[pale dew]

it refuels in under 2 s

from the station

[cosmic pawn]

ah ok

wb for loading items?

[peak harness]

Do you know that 1 nuclear pasta is over 1400 copper ore and if one copper ore is 1 Liter in volume (for 8.96 kg) the nuclear pasta will weighted over 12.5 METRIC TONS

atleast

[peak wasp]

o.o

[peak harness]

Pioneer lifting streght power scales

[pale dew]

hypercannons actually make traveling so much easier

[cosmic pawn]

ok i isn't refueling from the station

what am i doing wrong

[pale dew]

have you put fuel into the designated fuel spot?

[cosmic pawn]

i think i did

[pale dew]

theres a special intake on the station

3 in total

1 for fuel 2 for items

[cosmic pawn]

ya i need to make a straight path since it's just flipping over a lot

[coral oar]

I open the game, instant crash
AMD issue? I validated steam files, tried launching in DX 11, i'm on latest drivers
RX 9070 XT
Ryzen 7 8900X3D
64Gigs of ram
not a low spec system, i also had issues today on R6 but had none yesterday, idk what to do

[pale dew]

dx 11 migh be the problem yk

[polar leaf]

I can lift a gazillion neutronium ingots

[coral oar]

tried both, so i don't think it is

[polar leaf]

which is roughly 7,1.10^70 atoms

[pale dew]

windows update?

[peak harness]

HAHAHA

[pale dew]

or reinstal the game at very last

cuz validating isnt very.... efficient

[coral oar]

Also latest

[coral oar]

not a choice rn

[pale dew]

maybe just bad drivers?

[peak harness]

If i play the game

[coral oar]

100% could be

[pale dew]

have you joined a world

[peak harness]

i would play it wierd, like i will stop pile first

[pale dew]

or did it crash on launch

[coral oar]

i crash on launch, joining world, in world and menu

[pale dew]

so its not a constant?

[coral oar]

no

[pale dew]

damn man

[coral oar]

it black screens now, did not do that at the start

[pale dew]

i think you need to go to reddit to a thread 3 years ago
