[fickle oriole]

hi folks, am i missing something with the jetpack? Using packaged liquid biofuel, it still doesn't propel very far - seems like maybe 20 or 30m. Is the idea that you 'bunny-hop' a bit at a time, or that you wait for better fuel, or am i missing something in how to use it?

[white dawn]

The easiest way to do the packaged one is to make yourself a blueprint with a "closed loop" of 2x Packager + 1x Refinery; you can even have the Empty Packages "inside" the Packaged Water machine in the blueprint. So the blueprint becomes a one-click mini-blender

[white dawn]

The trick with any of the jetpack fuels is to tap the thrust rather than holding it down; that'll increase the range of all of them quite a lot (and allow for higher vertical ascents)

LBF in particular is a really great "coasting" fuel; you can go horizontally a really long way on one "charge" of LBF. But you do need to just tap it

[fickle oriole]

oh, ty - i'd just been holding it down

[white dawn]

At that stage of the game, btw, I do generally recommend keeping a stack of LBF and a stack of Turbofuel around. Turbofuel's nice for quicker ascents (though I think technically LBF can go higher w/ the tapping). And honestly Turbofuel's not bad for horizontal distance either

[opaque shadow]

(in particular it burns the longest of any of the valid jetpack fuels, even better than the best fuel overall (ionized))

[restive agate]

LOL does the radiation from a nuke nobelisk ever go away

[oblique heart]

Are there any YouTubers who have content like doshdoshington for Satisfactory, specifically looking for challenges or mods that overhaul the gameplay.

[nocturne oracle]

unfortunately yes

what?

i want my base to be completely irradiated

is that such a crime?

[opaque shadow]

yes

but seriously: you can probably hide plutonium wastes in strategic locations

then you cover it up with foundations

[nocturne oracle]

i just built my nuclear reactor right next to my hub

it does the trick

[opaque shadow]

sadge that mobs don't take radiation damage

[nocturne oracle]

why would i want to kill my pet radiaoactive boar?

[opaque shadow]

nuke hogs should be immune (or even be healed) from radiation, but I meant the others

esp. the spiders

[nocturne oracle]

does radiation damage stack beyond the full bar or no

[shrewd palm]

Beeping noise is the highest

[opaque shadow]

according to the wiki

The radiation intensity bar in the game screen is capped at 26.7% radiation damage.

[unborn nova]

whats the temp mean for the purity? its on a quartz node idk

[leaden turret]

iirc, harvestable chunk as opposed to mineable node

[unborn nova]

oh i see

thanks

[feral geyser]

I thought that too, but I've seen it appearing even where one doesn't exist. Just today, it showed a temp in between the two pure coals at the north end of the desert.

[royal spear]

can someone help me with setting down my train signals (sadly i cant send pics here)

[restive agate]

send pictures in the ss chat and just link it back to this chat

[leaden turret]

or use #1038092680493801533 for it's intended purpose

[restive agate]

true

[sick falcon]

is there any downsides to using manifolds

i hate balancers

[restive agate]

not rlly

sometimes it can take some time to reach equalibrium but thats aout it

[leaden turret]

you'll have more free time on your hands by virtue of not having done math

i just be slamming down random splitters until something breaks

[leaden turret]

your pc or your sanity?

[nocturne oracle]

no when something else breaks because im siphoning off random amounts of material

my pc is doing perfectly fine thank you

i only had to relocate my hub because the game started crashing everytime I went near it TWICE

[leaden turret]

all work and no play makes homer something something

[nocturne oracle]

all work? no. nothing works

[sick falcon]

you should show off your rats nest in #screenshots

i think i would be hung and quartered tbh

even my world file would be grounds for execution

[chilly mirage]

Hello, game is ill in development? They planing bring more to the game, or 1.1 is final version?

[leaden turret]

they were teasing 1.2 stuff in their typical trollish ways last tuesday

[chilly mirage]

typical trollish ways? sorry im new to the game 🙂 Whats new they bring?

[leaden turret]

CMs (and devs) have a long history of being massive trolls

[chilly mirage]

In the good way? Yes?

[leaden turret]

have a look for yourself: https://archive.satisfactory.video/topics/trolling/

[rotund pier]

the train need power to move does it add more to it when it has a freight car?

[turbid merlin]

Is there a way to see train tracks on the map in game? Or is that locked behind the tier unlock?

[leaden turret]

scim has overlays when you upload your save file

[turbid merlin]

Ah, so just nothing in game

[nocturne oracle]

what are batteries used for?

[leaden turret]

!wikisearch Battery

🤦‍♂️ bot died again

[nocturne oracle]

rip 🙏

[leaden turret]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Battery

[nocturne oracle]

so ive been making them for literally no reason

damn

[leaden turret]

article literally says some reasons

[turbid merlin]

They're good if you use geothermals for power

Or have unsteady power curves

[dense violet]

Why would make something for no reason?
Fuel drones with them or something

[turbid merlin]

Oh, those batteries

[nocturne oracle]

i dont have drones unlocked

[leaden turret]

yes, the things actually called batteries 😛

[sick falcon]

hes using mk1 conveyors only

[nocturne oracle]

no

just for anything that doesnt require higher level conveyers to take and remove from machines

mostly mk1 conveyers

[turbid merlin]

To many batteries

[leaden turret]

well there's the things that are called batteries, then there is everything else

[turbid merlin]

Well, im about to have coal power online in like 10 seconds

Woot woot

Time to let these stabiles via the manifold power

[feral geyser]

They're awesome for trucks and tractors too.

[nocturne oracle]

yeah uh about that

[sick falcon]

if i send half copper sheets half silica into a 2 splitter will it send out half of each material in each direction

or will it be random how much gets sent in each direction

[nocturne oracle]

why would you ever do that

[sick falcon]

i need to feed both into assemblers but dont have room for more than one conveyor belt without clipping

[nocturne oracle]

💀

smart splitter

[feral geyser]

It will not, but if the rates are perfectly balanced, you could use a smart splitter at the end to separate them.

[sick falcon]

wouldnt work because i need to send an equal amount of both in both directions

[feral geyser]

Then it looks like you gotta make space for one more belt

Or ask our resident sushi expert.

[clever stone]

FIIIIINAAALLLY after doing some hard drive hunting I finally got myself OC supercomputer

[sterile blade]

Unless something changed, they don't spawn near powered machines.
Ie: your whole base could be "overrun" if you just cut a power line

[sick falcon]

i love how they just instantly spawn in if you cut power

[sterile blade]

It won't be random, but follow the order of items coming in, which is still bad for your objective if the items come in alternating order (copper-silica-copper-silica). The result can be clear if you think about it remembering that splitters split in a round-robin manner (left to right): 1 copper goes left, one Silica goes right, one Copper goes left, one Silica goes right...

The way to have the two items be mixed and then split evenly by a "dumb" splitter would be finding a way to merge the items so they alternate every 2 items (copper-copper, Silica-Silica...)

[clever stone]

Still haven’t the found iron beams one again though

I took iron pipes over it and now I’m hoping to complete the duo

[feral geyser]

Everything you said is true, but that is not what "round-robin" means

[sterile blade]

Wym?

[sterile blade]

Thinking about it, trying to merge items so they alternate every 2 items is actually quite damn complex...

[feral geyser]

That's not round robin selection

It's just sequential; splitter split in a sequential manner

[hard ivy]

... this is what round-robin is?

[sterile blade]

I don't know enough about grammar to argue that 🤷‍♂️

[hard ivy]

Ok it literally is that
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=round+robin+definition&ia=web&iax=definition

[dense violet]

There’s no iron beams

[clever stone]

I could have sworn there was

Oh well

I’ve been chasing a pipe dream

Or should I say

A beam dream

[feral geyser]

Hmmm... dubious links and definitions, I've always heard it used to mean something else different and specific.

I'll believe it for now

[hard ivy]

There are steel beams and iron rods

[feral geyser]

Aluminum beams

[clever stone]

Now that I’m looking back on it I don’t even remember what I thought I saw

-I would like an iron beam alt tho

[willow storm]

half the planet's iron for one beam

[clever stone]

Nah at least 1.5

But still the hunt was worth it because I uncovered the OC super computer which

At my current stage of factory I much prefer over the default recipe

[hard ivy]

There's iron pipe, which is even better

[clever stone]

I have it already

@void gorge You know a Time when Satisfactory on Playstation available is ? Im mean 4th November but wich time ?

it's not like I can't play the game anymore or that any cloud saving will get messed up cos that's all Steam

I don't mind unlinking it either, if that fixes it

Could really do with some help please to save my poor dog. I followed the instructions here to install this addon

https://github.com/JosefBud/NoResourceScannerPings

But when i try launch the game i get this message

Would you like to disable it?

If you do, you will no longer be able to open any assets created with it. If not, the application will close.```

When i google satisfactory sml plugin, all the posts seem to be about REMOVING the plugin, but seems i need to add it?

[leaden turret]

gotta disable mods through mod launcher first

[true mulch]

Why install mods outside of ficsit.app and SML?

https://ficsit.app/

[leaden turret]

oh I misread, yeah.

gotta install the mods through the mod launcher 😛

[hoary hinge]

I have no interest in doing any other mods, i just wanted this one and figured i could just follow the instructions on the github

[true mulch]

Use the mod launcher and just install the one mod

That's the only intended way of installing mods afaik

[leaden turret]

might wanna tell the mod author to correct their install instructions while you're at it 😅

[hoary hinge]

How do you do that from a github link?

[leaden turret]

you don't

[hoary hinge]

@neon rapids 😉

[hoary hinge]

Well then how do i use the mod manager to install it?

[raven axle]

Official Modding Discord

Learn all about modding and join the community here!
<3 @leaden turret

[hard ivy]

every single mod requires SML to be installed too. It's automatically installed when you install any mod through the mod manager. If you just paste a mod into the mods folder, but not SML, it's not gonna work

[hard ivy]

go to ficsit.app, install SMM

[hoary hinge]

Ok so i used SMM to install the original mod the fork is based on, then deleted the contents of the mod folder and replaced it with the files from the github, that seems to have got me to the point where it shows correctly in the "Mods" menu in-game.

...but it doesn't work 😢 modding discord from here i guess?

[north totem]

of course aws has to be down when i'm about to play satisfactory

[hard ivy]

And the fork isn't on ficsit.app?

[hoary hinge]

Correct

[hard ivy]

Well that's dumb

When you check the mods folder, do you have both SMM and the mod from gitbhub?

[hoary hinge]

SML and the mod from SMM/Github

[leaden turret]

aws dedicated server?

Rocket Fuel is a requirement for Nitro Rocket Fuel to "show up" but it also is blender? 🤔

no, i can't launch the game because epic games is down, i even tried running the executable 😭

EOS isn't reporting itself as down https://status.epicgames.com/

[north totem]

Well, it is

[short root]

There is a major outage at AWS currently.

[north totem]

Yup

Maybe this affects EOS

[north totem]

It does

I can't login to epic

[leaden turret]

quit trying to play satisfactory, have sleep, aws might be fixed by the time you awake

[cunning siren]

I'm wondering all the requirements to have unlocks with hard drives, wiki says "Unlocked by MAM" 🤷 https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Rocket_Fuel my guess is it's more than just MAM

[hard ivy]

Well, no, the only requirement is MAM research. But that requires empty tanks. Which require Advanced Aluminium to make. Which requires RCUs to unlock. Which are unlocked by Control System Development. Which unlocks blenders as well

[granite ether]

how do i properly manage resourses?
rn i have to make stators but i dont have a good free spot which has coal, iron and copper around. but i have one which is already occupied by other factories (extra coal generators, primitive iron resourses (iron plates, iron bars and screws) and copper sheets)
do i have to find another good place with the needed resourses around or theres more sense in getting as much as possible of those primitive resourses and just getting rid of the old factories and building those stators?

[cunning siren]

SO, if I unlock rocket fuel from MAM does that mean that the Nitro Rocket Fuel can show up in hard drives?

[scenic mirage]

aws outage

how high from the ground do yall build your trains

[hard ivy]

Yes, it shows up in HDDs only after you unlock RF in the MAM

[gray topaz]

any idea how long it usually takes for them to solve this kind of issues?

[shy mulch]

that's not an answerable question

[gray topaz]

fair.

[scenic mirage]

i do not know since im not an aws dev

[hard ivy]

It is. Just take the average/median of how long every outage has been

That's how long it "usually" is

[granite ether]

guys pleas💩🤳

[hard ivy]

How long is it gonna be this time? That is an unanswerable question

[gray topaz]

Thats what I meant, but I have no idea of how long the past outages has been

[queen beacon]

guys i need my snap to work again

[short root]

There is a AWS status site, I don't know if I can post the link here, but if you google for AWS service health you will find it. They started to mitigate the issue a few minutes ago and now observe the recovery of services.

[gray topaz]

Thanks! I found it

Finally managed to log into epic, its starting to work again

[short root]

They just updated that they see signs of recovery.

Aaand you got in, yeah! I have to try then, too.

[gray topaz]

Try it, no error no nothing for me, it worked instantly

[short root]

Yes works perfectly now!

[gray topaz]

except in SF, down in the left side, its telling me "Not connected to platform services"

[short root]

Can confirm. But it also showed online in Epic Games in the top right corner during load of the game. Maybe this still takes a bit more time.

I mean, when a service was down for a longer time that was used in so many products worldwide, the initial load when it comes back online is massive for all the traffic that is on hold, so it just may take some time until everyting settles again.

[gray topaz]

Maybe, I got one of my friends waiting for us to play so im gonna wait it out.

Oh, nvm. Its saying on the screen Re-Authenticating. I think it's starting to work now

[near frost]

anyone knows a mod that lets me paint a big selected area fast?

[short root]

Yeah have that now, too, but loops around.

[reef basin]

presets in vanilla? 🤔

[gray topaz]

Same

[short root]

Had timeout, guess it takes more time then...

[gray topaz]

Yeah, I even relaunched, but same issue. Let's give it a bit of time, there are alot of services starting at the same time.

[short root]

Exactly. If we two add additional load at this time, I suspect this does not help for a quick recovery.

[true mulch]

open downdetector and look at the graphs lol

[leaden turret]

[short root]

Now the Epic Games Status page shows major outages, looks like some Epic services did not recover from themselves...

The Epic Games Status page is powered by Atlassian, and Atlassian was affected by the AWS outage, so I suspect Epic Games simply could not update their status page during the AWS outage because the status page was affected by the outage. Crazy.

They should re-think their dependencies.

Soon™ Satisfactory (multiplayer) will work again.

Okay @gray topaz it works for me now!

[gray topaz]

Thank you! I was playing single player and didn't check until now!

it is not as easy as it sounds, as there are only a handful of providers :')

all very interconnected with each other in unimaginable ways

[short root]

Completely valid and correct statement. Yes.

[cunning siren]

Not being able to access something "I own" seems to be a strange concept to me. Do I own it at that point? What is owning something? Because I say "I own" something does that make it so? Apparently not

Strange concept

[short root]

You don't own it, you only license it. That's the neat part nowadays (except from GOG or physical cards / disks)

[lilac mulch]

You can perhapcs compare it to your car breaking down.
Is it broken? Yes. Is there a mechanic who will fix it (for money)? Yes.
Meaning you'll get it back eventually

difference being its a digital license instead of a car

You are just depended on other people

[sterile blade]

Wanted to make a joke, but lacking time to tell it properly right now sorry

[hollow mason]

is there something i can use to limit how much comes out of each part of the splitter?

[hard ivy]

There are a few methods, yes

[leaden turret]

producing less stuff

[hollow mason]

im using the entire output just on two seperate things with no common denominator so i need more for one and less for the other

[limpid cairn]

You don’t own anything, everything is owned by the government (or ficsit, depending where we are)

[cunning siren]

Only Ficsit owns the concept of ownership, OK now i got it 😆

[hard ivy]

Then just connect them with a regular splitter. If one side needs x, but gets more than that, it'll eventually fill up and not consume any more than than x

[limpid cairn]

Ficsit probably owns you too, take care

[cunning siren]

No doubt about that

[unkempt blade]

sorry but the concept of factory carts already owns me so ficsit needs to get in line

[limpid cairn]

just rent them from ficsit

[sterile blade]

Sorry for the confusion, I was in a bit of a hurry.
If you're interested in the topic of "owning VS leasing games", you might find it productive to read/know about StopKillingGames ^^

should i use the heavy oil to make the plastic etc

@obsidian zodiac You know a Time when Satisfactory on Playstation available is ? Im mean 4th November but wich time ?

they're cool for saturating belts

[primal flax]

if i have a train with 8 carriages will it slow down if i have 2 locomotives

[tranquil maple]

no two locos is plenty

[primal flax]

but does it scale up? like 3 locomotives and 12 carriages?

[hard ivy]

Pretty sure trains will slow down on slopes and turns regardless of the number of locomotives and wagons. The question is how much

[primal flax]

ok thanks

[tranquil maple]

I'd say never go more than 10 cars. 2 locos for 7-10, one loco for 1-6

[obsidian zodiac]

13:00 CET, you should be able to see your local time on the playstation store tho! https://store.playstation.com/en-us/concept/10008447

[rose saffron]

I've tried so many times but I still can't find a path to the pink tree mountain area

what I have found however, is an extremely deadly swamp biome

does anyone even use that place to build or is it just a dead zone

[hard ivy]

I can think of one natural path there, but you know you can just build one, right?

[rose saffron]

yeah I know I can always just build up there

but I want to try finding a natural path first

[shrewd palm]

if you go around through the titan forest and on to the crater plateau area there should be 1 or 2 natural paths going up

[rose saffron]

there's an area north of the crater that I am not traveling to yet, I think that's where I might have to go

[hard ivy]

The one I was thinking of was rocky desert -> crater lakes and then southeast

[rose saffron]

it's just too dangerous though

[shrewd palm]

yeah the titan forest is like that

i think the trees might be safe but im not 100% sure

[rose saffron]

I found a giant hog that was radioactive

so I can't go near that area until I get a rifle at minimum

[shrewd palm]

nuclear hogs my beloved

[shy mulch]

you can defeat them without rifle

[rose saffron]

well yeah you can

if you cheese it

[shrewd palm]

building a platform a good ways above the ground and then using that to basically cheese the fight should work for any kind of hog and spitter

for hatchers you can just crouch walk up to them and they wont attack

im unaware of any "cheeses" for stingers but running to the side whenever they jump or attack works better than going backwards

[shy mulch]

Just build a massive tower that is too high for their attacks/jumps to reach you, then rain nobelisks down on their puny heads

[shrewd palm]

will they not jump if you're high enough?

or do they just not reach you after a certain height

[shy mulch]

they can only jump a certain height

radioactive spiders can jump really high

but you can go higher

common alternative is a box

[rose saffron]

1,000 smart plating for phase 2 of the space elevator is completed

still have yet to build versatile framework or automated wiring...

[bold heron]

whats u best place for a starter factory ?

[shrewd palm]

grassy fields or rocky desert

both are pretty flat and have lots of room

[burnt ferry]

2 belts + priority mergerj + smart splitter and you get exsctly maximum speed on one belt and the rest on the other

[shrewd palm]

if you go with grassy fields you do have to deal with worse nodes, but that means in the later game you dont have to deal with an entire biome of normal and impure nodes

[scarlet lake]

Personally love the dunes

[shrewd palm]

and do you really need anything beyond impure and normal for all the little bits and bops you'd be making in a stater factory?

[reef basin]

Near resources it needs

[burnt ferry]

whoeever put the questiin mark you hve two belts with say 1125 (random number less than max speed, have seen that one quiet often for some reason), you put a smart splitter on one, its 'any' output goes into the priority merger which has the other belt on another input. the priority merger prefers the belt without smart splitter. the smart splitters other outputs set to overflow, now you have 1200 on one belt and the rest on the other. the context was whether someone uses prio mergers, which i think this is q pretty universal usecase for

[sterile blade]

Going by what #announcements says, am I right thinking there won't be a part for questions in tomorrow's stream?

[burnt ferry]

the stream 'tomorrow' is 6 days ago

[sterile blade]

Ops 😅

[hard ivy]

Before prio mergers you could also do this with 2 smart splitters and 2 regular mergers but yeah that sounds like it should work

[honest oxide]

i reached the point where i need a supercomputer factory. please send help

it's all far apart i need so many train lines

[scenic mirage]

its train time '

(pls help im in the same boat)

[honest oxide]

my last 60 hours of play time have been trains

[scenic mirage]

what phase are you in

[honest oxide]

by now i only see trains, i wake up and i see trains, i close my eyes and i see trains. i am a train, and the train is i

[scenic mirage]

choo choo motherf*cker

[hard ivy]

You don't need any if you just build it in the right place

There's plenty of places with all resources needed nearby

[honest oxide]

supercomputers require oil, copper, caterium and water

[zenith pecan]

Or don't mind mile long belts.

[hard ivy]

Depends on the alts, really.

But those specific ones can be found at the eastern end of the big canyon

[honest oxide]

they're very distant though

they're not close

[shy mulch]

Use long belts. Or trains. Or something else

[hard ivy]

500m max. That's well within belt distance

[zenith pecan]

Its why I have the tunnel network, for moving loads of crap.

[scenic mirage]

can you even beat the game without trains/long belts

or trucks and other stuff ofc

[hard ivy]

Of course

[shy mulch]

you can hand feed everything if you really want to

[honest oxide]

i could make a big factory and then just send raw materials to the factory

requires more time but works with the least amount of materials, cause i can reuse

well ill go plan for the next few days, wish me luck ;-;
all for 1.8 supercomputers per minute

[fluid sapphire]

whats wrong with building train lines

[shy mulch]

beware sending everything to one factory without adequate planning

I thought it would be cool to have a big train station accepting all sorts of things, and build a bunch of stuff in one place, some of the belts that come out of the train station into the factory are well over 1km long

[hard ivy]

It takes time that can be saved by building the factory in a spot that has everything closer

[fluid sapphire]

i like to think its worth it in the long term since tracks are reusable

it really depends on a lot of things though, i personally dont subsribe to the mantra that everything should be made from scratch every time

everything in most cases for me means precursors that are already made elsewhere

[scenic mirage]

its hard

[shy mulch]

everything is hard until you practice

[hard ivy]

Yeah, after building 2 worldwide networks I can say that they're now easy

[fluid sapphire]

make a couple of blueprints of pillars with rails in the middle and use autoconnect to build the network, kaboom, ez rail, just takes some time

i built almost all of mine with 2 blueprints, one is a ramp post, and one is straight

[burnt ferry]

it does work, you can easily scale it for as many belts as you like. i just dont know about efficiency when one of them belts has more than max speed.. i think as long as the sum of two belts is less than 2 times maxspeed itll work (by working i mean not only create X belts with maxspeed items on them (that should always work) but also consuming the entire input for that)

[scenic mirage]

#screenshots message

[burnt ferry]

my usual workflow is, divide 1200 by number of produced material per building, floor that number to the lower integer, thats the amount of buildings that make up one belt fed into the priomerger/smartsplitter 'balancer', then i cascade for as many belts as there might be

i guess at some point you need to watch the numbers and put one building more or less onto one of these belts. but im not sure actualy..could be that this is sorted out byitself

well anyways... thats it.. we might see us again after some larger content update.... bye folks

[hard ivy]

For multiple belts, the failure condition is 2 belts that add up to less than 1 full belt. Then the higher priority belt isn't full and you've gotta top it up again with a 3rd belt. This requires additional math to make sure that's handled whether it could happen or a lot of extra setup to make sure it never can

The issue of exceeding belt capacity is not an issue, because if you're exceeding the capacity of the output belts, you're also exceeding the capacity of the input belts. Which means the whole thing doesn't work even before the compressor and the failure isn't because of it

[deft wagon]

has satisfactory calculator gone down??

[violet needle]

okay uhh question
how can i reliably feed an accelerator 1500 coal and 100 turbo fuel with 2 belts

[scenic mirage]

looking dope

[scenic mirage]

mk6 and sushi belt

[violet needle]

but wont the issue of one of the inputs overfilling with turbo fuel / coal still persist?

[hard ivy]

It appears so

[deft wagon]

Not ideal

[scenic mirage]

you could take a full mark 6 and then merge a mk3 and split a mk1 and merge those

dunno if that makes sense

[hard ivy]

Not if you make sure it gets exactly 300 coal and 100 turbo. With each turbo being fed exactly every 3 coals

[white dawn]

satisfactory calc loaded just fine for me right now, fwiw. Though it's been a "fun" day (in the Dwarf Fortress sense) for AWS services; whether or not that's actually involved, you can always just blame Amazon today. :D

[shy mulch]

If you can't ensure the inputs are precise, then use a priority merger and prioritize the turbofuel on the 2nd belt

[hard ivy]

It's not like a 100/min and 300/min belt limiters are difficult to build

[violet needle]

okay belt balancing

i have a 260 line so i can split off the 60 simply

[hard ivy]

That's not what belt balancing means

[feral geyser]

I'd just clock down the machine to use no more than 1200 coal and avoid the problem all together.

[violet needle]

potato poteto

same shi

[hard ivy]

They're very different things lol

[rigid chasm]

has satisfactory calculator gone down??

[hard ivy]

.

[placid stirrup]

Amazon web services is bugging out, lots of stuff won't be working right now

[rigid chasm]

ok thanks

[cunning siren]

This is how it works for me ---> #screenshots message

Priority merger is a simple way to make it all work. Sure you could make one for 300 too if you wanted and it's not needed

[cunning siren]

But but but... mah sloops! 😆

[candid torrent]

somersloop soup

[clever stone]

Do you guys invest sloops into the power augmentator or the productivity increaser

So far I’ve invested my sloops into the former with two augmentators

[heavy anvil]

1 power augmentor and the rest i use for production

i can always build more powerplants

[rustic pier]

Im using an excessive amount of concrete lol.. just revamped the area where my coal generators were and i have concrete foundations everywhere lol.. and two buildings. One makes aluminum and industrial beams, the other does steel pipes and beams

[white dawn]

I generally have a mix. For power, I can always just make more power, but by the same token, for production I can always just make more production. :D

I mostly tend to use 'em for SE part buffs, and if I happen to have a backlog then I might set up an augmenter or two just for giggles

I do make sure I keep 10 in my Depot just so I can construct one out in the field whenever I want (for crash-site opening or whatever)

[clever stone]

I haven’t found the need for unlocking slooping just yet because my consumption rate is far lower than my production rate so I have room to add power cells

Which even if they consume more materials it’s still largely the same amount at a faster rate so as long as it’s getting fed

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[rustic pier]

I need to increase production of the base materials for things… i am not producing enough aluminum for my consumption

[civic drum]

Anyone know of any mods that let you adjust the personnel elevator speed? I LOVE my elevators, but sometimes I feel like i'm roleplaying instead of being efficient. I don't need them lightning fast, but even just a 10-15% faster speed and I think they'd be perfect.

[clever stone]

I’m sure there are I just don’t know any specific ones

[unreal yew]

Out of curiosity. In the early game, does anyone else work towards one space elevator part then regig everything for the next?

[clever stone]

What do you mean

[clever stone]

But that sounds like a feature I’d want in base game

[feral geyser]

Just be 10-15% more patient

[civic drum]

Definitely not. Early game I try to go as fast as possible, until I complete phase 2. Then I "start over" on my "real" factories with logistics and power that can actually scale, and are worth putting effort into efficiency.

[civic drum]

Pro tip, lol

[willow storm]

i usually make factories for everything and THEN grab the components i need and toss them in a slooped assembler

[mystic oriole]

Yup, in the early game. Then in late game I just deliver the parts from another factory.

[unreal yew]

Thanks guys!

[civic drum]

And to add to this: Since my starter base isn't efficient, I'll use the time I'm waiting for parts to complete between phases to do my exploring and gathering of mercer spheres, sloops, animal dna, etc. Once I get back with stuff I can usually pull the lever and start on the next thing.

[unreal yew]

That's pretty actually, can't believe I didn't think of that!

[hidden sparrow]

wait i just noticed that my world was in the community highlight for the 1.1 dev stream LMAO

[clever stone]

Speaking of redesigning and rebuilding factories there’s a high chance I might tear down my old steel factory to make way for a more efficient one

I’m just conflicted because it feels so nostalgic

[hidden sparrow]

how to terrify the devs : https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxG_bF5PzgjXG5dDatZ5Dvg6g12aIQNcVo?si=6y-RWFQdPFqEThwf

[clever stone]

It’s like destroying your first home to make way for a modern one

[civic drum]

The world is too big to justify tearing anything down, imho. Build next to, over, around, or away from the nostalgia. I basically never tear things down unless it's physically stopping me from progressing.

The only exception would be if I want to do some mega factory thing and the old factory is ruining the math because of the design. But I've done that like... once, lol.

[hidden sparrow]

oh im 100% building over it, just not how you'd want it to :)

https://discordapp.com/channels/370472939054956546/553550313533997057/1428463650510733474 :)

[civic drum]

Oh, whoops. I responded to the wrong comment

[hidden sparrow]

oh LMAO

[clever stone]

Honestly, that’s my plan

I’m building a larger factory right across the street from the old one where I hope to amp up steel production

[civic drum]

Plus the old stuff tells the story of your journey. I feel like tearing things down completely is like ripping pages from the book

But that's obviously just my style, lol

[clever stone]

It’s a valid style I like it

[north totem]

man i love this game

[abstract heron]

me to

[cunning siren]

~8 playthroughs and I've never unlocked that thing 😆 sloops are precious, energy production is not 🤷

[floral tartan]

they are good

in early game and late game

after my nuclear powerplant, 2 power augmenters give more energy than my average consumption in lategame

[barren raptor]

nuclear powerplant r34?

[deft wagon]

what

[floral tartan]

not sure what you mean by that

[deft wagon]

bit weird

cant lie

[floral tartan]

but 60 nuclear power plants (1200 Uranium/min)

[barren raptor]

🫃

[floral tartan]

im working on recycling the waste into plutonium fuel rods and them aim for tier 9 / ficsonium (or however you write it)

[feral geyser]

"Fertile" uranium 😏

[barren raptor]

jajajajajaj

i want to buy satisfactory and i am also new to pc gaming would you say i sould by it on steam(its 27,29 euros)?

[shrewd palm]

yes

steam is the best and epic is hot ass

[vestal bridge]

okay

[unreal yew]

Welcome though! 🙂

steam in gernreal would be where you buy games

[shrewd palm]

what i wouldnt give for a hoverpack right now

[dusky topaz]

im thinking of buying the game is it any good

[abstract heron]

Which game

[dusky topaz]

satisfactory

[unreal yew]

If you mean satisfactory, it depends

haha

Personally, I love it

[dusky topaz]

whats the point of the game

[unreal yew]

easily my most played game

[vestal hill]

#satisfactory-memes message this actually did happen to me and i almost didn’t take it

[mystic oriole]

to provide resources for Earth by automating building. Don't forget puppies and kittens, they are also on earth. They are counting on you to save the day.

[dusky topaz]

doesnt it get laggy

[mystic oriole]

that depends on your system

[vestal hill]

It’s a very satisfactory game

[mystic oriole]

not just how you build, but also what your PC specs are

[dusky topaz]

so its worth it?

[mystic oriole]

I've put in 1227 hours into the game so far.

[dusky topaz]

i can see that

[mystic oriole]

what kind of games do you play?

[vestal hill]

It’s my most played game on steam. When I want to play satisfactory, all else goes down the drain for a good three weeks

[dusky topaz]

i play stormworks and eurotruck

and snowrunner

[unreal yew]

so true! there's the classic "I'll play for a few hours" at 7pm, next thing you know you turn around and it's daylight coming through the curtain XD

[mystic oriole]

ah, so it's like DragonRiders of Pern, it will be difficult for you to get into at first. But then it will at some point all click and then you'll be one of us

one of us, one of us!

[dusky topaz]

whats dragoriders of pern

i have 5000 hours in minecraft if that says anythingg

[vestal hill]

“I’m just going to finish my steel ingot factory! Should only take an hour, then I’ll go for a walk”

three hours later, two ||power grid failures|| <— trigger warning, **and it’s finally done, but by now the sun has set and I’m not going for a walk **

[mystic oriole]

A book series by Ann McCaffery.
yeah, 5k hours in minecraft. You'll eventually like satisfactory building and exploration. Probably once you hit coal power.

[vestal hill]

Just vanilla?

[dusky topaz]

yeah just qol mods

[vestal hill]

Oh ok

Quick question

[dusky topaz]

yeah

[vestal hill]

Would you be against polluting the atmosphere

[dusky topaz]

no

[mystic oriole]

I played minecraft about that much, all vanilla. Been thinking of getting back to it. But then 'the factory must grow'

[vestal hill]

In a game

[vestal hill]

Is money a problem for you?

[dusky topaz]

if the pollution is so bad that i cant see i will be against it

[dusky topaz]

irl?

[vestal hill]

Yeah same, but I’ve done quite a bit of create and other mods

[vestal hill]

Yeah like is it a problem to drop the money on the game

[dusky topaz]

no

i already bought the game im waiting for it to download

[unreal yew]

Gotta walk it off... in game XD

Somedays I have work the following day, when the sun comes up I know it's gonna be a long shift

[mystic oriole]

ah, so you'll be one of us soon

[white dawn]

There's no pollution mechanics in the game, btw.

[abstract heron]

First playthough i did not care about the per minute just learning the game

[dusky topaz]

soon

[vestal hill]

Oh ok. Make sure to tell all your loved ones goodbye for the next week

[white dawn]

A few of the machines have some smoke-generation as part of the building animation, but it doesn't contribute to anything beyond the confines of the animations

[dusky topaz]

good

[dusky topaz]

i will

[vestal hill]

Yeah I hage enough self control not to let that happen

I wish though

[mystic oriole]

feels so long ago, but I tried to do that fresh perspective for 1.0 launch.

[abstract heron]

i got the game steam release june 8th 2020

[dusky topaz]

whats per minute

[vestal hill]

My goodness even this discord is a time sink I should’ve been asleep by now

[abstract heron]

Each machine makes said item with input and output

[dusky topaz]

okay

[unreal yew]

fair cop XD

[abstract heron]

I say now watch some basic videos on the game to learn while waiting to download and then have a test world OR a world where u learn the game

Dedicated servers

[barren lily]

Why is starting again so painful 😖

I was kinda forced to start again cuz coop stopped working for some reason and word started cooking itself from inside

But after 12h im bored and have no idea what to do😭

[shrewd hatch]

why does it say station unreachable on my train

[barren lily]

Are you sure that your rails are connected?

[shrewd hatch]

yes

the AI drove from one station to the other

but now it says station unreachable

[barren lily]

And there is no random block sign that makes them one way

Cuz that might be a reason

Is that push-pull setup or more likely global grid

[shrewd hatch]

I have 2 stations and the train is just supposed to go back and forth

[unreal yew]

Are you in that strange area where progress is being made to an elevator part but it's slow going?

[shrewd hatch]

let me check the tracks

absolutely no signs

[barren lily]

Stage when i have first coal power plant and most basic but more complicated parts are being produced (modular frames and stuff)

[barren lily]

Do you have locomotive on both sides of your train?

[shrewd hatch]

yes

[cunning siren]

Cluster ❤️ #screenshots message

[barren lily]

Then rebuild it and pray to the gods of satisfactory to make it work

[unkempt blade]

you should probably cover its legs too otherwise you might have to use the detonator a second time

[unreal yew]

I get stuck their a lot too, While waiting it's a great time to try your hand in making things pretty, exploring, planning your next steps. I find these things help a bit

[barren lily]

I mean i should make a proper steel factory cuz my friend made one that berly gives us something + it's time for mk 4 conveyors so we need materials for them (forgot their name)

[placid stirrup]

I've never messed with push-pull trains, the most foolproof would be to just loop the track around after the stations so you only need one loco

[kindred current]

Can I use tier 3 conveyer on all of my factorys or will it ruin the productivity of the factory?

[barren lily]

Depends on what stage you are

[kindred current]

im working on tier 4 currently

just unlocked steel

[unreal yew]

there you go! something to do! you could also optimize production lines as well! Making sure everything is running 100% with 100% of resource's being used

[barren lily]

Then lvl 3 should be enough

180 items per minute is fine at this point

[unkempt blade]

the part that benefits most from the highest mk conveyor you can build is the little section immediately after the miner. From there you can split and use lower tier belts as soon as it makes sense for you

[placid stirrup]

Did your Mk3 conveyors get nerfed?

[kindred current]

But using Mk3 is also fine?

[barren lily]

That means I need to completely rebuild main base, prepare foundations for new one and prepare grassy fields for hundreds of refineries

[kindred current]

if I got enough steel obviously

[barren lily]

240?

I might have dementia

[unkempt blade]

the factory still runs but you'd be capped at 270 ore, is that what you're asking?

[barren lily]

Yeah i have dementia

[kindred current]

my miner rn runs 120 ore, and if I upgrade to Mk3 will it cause a overflow in the factory

[unreal yew]

Are you a small bases around that supplies a main base/storage? Or a mega base?

[placid stirrup]

It's more likely I just have more hours in the game and I need to touch grass

[barren lily]

Used to spam a lot smaller factories (like producing 100 rotors + 100 engines in one place) but i want to make something big, really really big

[unkempt blade]

is that because the miner only produces 120 or because it's currently using a mk2 belt?

[barren lily]

I mean I sometimes forget because i remember times when tier 1 used to transport 45 items per minute

[kindred current]

im using tier 1 and I am wondering if I upgrade to a higher conveyer, the smelter will be capped 24/7 and I will need to expand the factory

or maybe im just tupid

[barren lily]

Tier one is 60 per minute

[unreal yew]

Build vertical maybe? 🤔

[feral geyser]

You can slap a higher conveyor and an overflow splitter and send anything the one factory doesn't use to another factory.

[barren lily]

Yeah but i need place to smelt thousands of iron and stuff + i like how open factories look so big open ones are nice for things like smelting

[unkempt blade]

what's going to limit your factory...

1. The amount the miner produces (you'll never get more than this number no matter what conveyor you use)
2. The conveyor you use coming from the miner (if your miner does 120 but your belt does 60 you're effectively only getting 60)
3. The amount being consumed by stuff in your factory ex: smelters

[kindred current]

THAN KS GUYS

[unreal yew]

wow you're talking really big then!

[barren lily]

I made few big things in the past too

Like 400GW powerplant powered by only 3600 rocket fuel

It was like 864 fuel gens

[unreal yew]

sheeeesh! Would love to see a picture if you have one handy

[barren lily]

Sadly i have only one where i just started placing blenders and it was like 25% complete

[rustic pier]

Sweeeet

[placid stirrup]

If you like big builds and you cannot lie...
#streams-and-videos message

[unreal yew]

still impressive

[barren lily]

But imagine scale needed to process 3600 oil + 1200 coal + 2400 sulfur + 1800 nitrogen into 3600 rocket fuel and burn it in 864 fuel gens (spoiler - almost entire sea behind golden coast to the end of the map was used)

[unreal yew]

I can't image that haha, That's a lot of work. but think of tyhe bragging rights

isnt gtx 970 a bit... old..?

not here to shame but, I think you are really stretching too hard on this one

i know i just didn't have enough money and my dad had it lying around so he gifted it me

I think it is gud.

[mortal ginkgo]

very cool dad. I mean if you wanna buy it because its on sale, go for it.

mhhh

im gonna think about it

im kind of addicted and i have 10 minutes of playtime

[shrewd hatch]

how do I unpackage packaged water

[coral bough]

Is a Rtx 2060 better than that?

[frail chasm]

Weirdest thing. Play sf remotely via controller. All of a sudden, copy and paste via R2 and dpad missing. Anyone know what's causing this. Using PS4 ctrl and dualsense selected in settings

[mortal ginkgo]

you use Packager for that too

[spice spindle]

What affects water extractor's flow rate? It says the max is 600 but It's only doing 120

[coral bough]

Become the factory

[frail chasm]

for clarity, can copy paste if go into the machine menu, but not straight from the world as it were

[mortal ginkgo]

its max flow rate, which is the rate that it can output water from itself to a pipe (mk2 pipe in this case). however a WE can extract 300/m water when fully overclocked

[spice spindle]

What is overclocking? 😮

[mortal ginkgo]

Power Shards, you turn slugs into them and plug into buildings (after MaM research)

[frail chasm]

I've always been on CS's side whilst in dev, but now it's released and they're raking it in, they really do need to do better with shitty bugs like this

[dusky topaz]

is there any way to speed up crafting

[frail chasm]

Ok. Just solved it. You have to swap to Xbox ctrl and then back to dual sense. Jesus. Sort it out CS and don't become corporate ghouls.

uh-oh, i hit the limit of 250 markers, and am only at the start of phase 4. I've been marking every resource node, cave entrance, pod location, factory, etc. All sure are useful. What do you all mark (and not) to stay within the limit?

yall I just got the two best recipes in the same hard drive
wet concrete and cast screws
which one do I choose

I cannot decide so I have decided to let the server decide

I only see one good recipe here lol

[dusky topaz]

how can i disconnect power

[brisk lantern]

deconstruct cable

[dusky topaz]

and how can i fly

[unreal yew]

Jetpack

[sick dragon]

Wrong. The correct answer is man cannon

[coral bough]

Explosives

those two came from a rescan

I am stuck with these two golden recipes

I HAVE TO throw one of em away

Hi, are gas pillar supposed to respawn after being nuked with Nobelisk ? Respan occures after restarting the game
I don't know if it is a bug or a feature but it's anoying
(its a solo game and I dont have anything built near pillars exept foundations and I dont have any mod)

[sick dragon]

If i remember right running power nearby causes them to not respawn

[candid torrent]

yea things don’t spawn by powered machines

[dusky topaz]

whats a good fuel source cause i use bushes

[sick dragon]

Fuel

[feral geyser]

You'll get to coal in Phase 2

[sick dragon]

Biomass burners? A bunch of leaves and trees

[exotic mauve]

nor very convenient but thanks for yours answers 👍

[feral geyser]

Then fuel after that

[sick dragon]

And make it to biomass

Well solid biofuel

[feral geyser]

They are not supposed to

[coral bough]

Mycealium is better than those

[feral geyser]

You do want to turn your leaves and wood into Solid Biofuel, but after that, you can get to coal power.

[sick dragon]

You convert it to a ton of solid biofuel yes

But leaves and trees are everywhere

Mycelium less so

[feral geyser]

Also, until you get to refineries, you'll need mycelia to make fabric for gas filters.

[coral bough]

I did that by hand bc im too lazy to make a 3rd constructor to automatically do it, since im already starting coal

[valid bloom]

I went on a mercer sphere expedition and reached a full stack, I've been touching too much grass

[sick dragon]

This is the smart way yes

Pop it all in a storage container and let constructors make and feed the burners

Automation is not lazy. Its essential 😛

[exotic mauve]

yet they do respawn on my game 😭 , I guess Ill wait for masks

[coral bough]

I had to use 2 pure iron nodes to make smart plating, 1 for rotors and 1 for reinforced plates

[feral geyser]

Verify the install and try it again?

[feral geyser]

You could even use smart splitters and have a single dump chest for all your green waste to feed around and make solid biofuel (or liquid, if you're at refineries)

[coral bough]

Once im at coal im never using bio fuel again

[feral geyser]

I mean, liquid is really good jetpack fuel until rocket or ionized.

And with somersloops in each constructor and refinery up the way, you get 8x as much as you would normally

[coral bough]

Ima just use regular fuel for that, bc I dont wanna collect stuff to make bio fuel for the jetpack

Im a lazy person

[feral geyser]

That works, but fuel doesn't last as long.

[clever stone]

Reading this convo about fuel makes me realize that the hoverpack should be able to take batteries as a replacement fuel for when you’re far from power lines

With the draw that they drain fast

[candid torrent]

give me a reason to make batteries again

[coral bough]

The ficsit overlords

[feral geyser]

I would love that, but they probably wouldn't do that.

[clever stone]

They would or wouldn’t

Typo spotted, kill them

[feral geyser]

Sorry. Phone does stupid shit

[clever stone]

Dw it gets the best of us you’re good

Typo fixed, unkill them

[feral geyser]

If they did though. The battery has 6000 MJ, and the hoverpack uses 110 MW, so that'd be 54.(54) sec / battery

[clever stone]

Here’s what I think

Half the time for that

[plucky flower]

Where do you guys build your main base. Like to live and have all your stuff

[feral geyser]

Which means a stack of batteries would last nearly 3 hours of flight time.

[clever stone]

Because the hoverpack still is intended for factories so there should some reason to still use it for its intended purpose and going outside of it should have some downside unless you’re prepared

Hooooh

[plucky flower]

I am planning on moving to a nice beach

[feral geyser]

Just make your power grid span the world and hover between the power towers

[clever stone]

I have no intention of moving for now, I’m too used to knowing where everything is atm

My ADHD powers will get me confused so fast

[feral geyser]

If you stick to max height before transferring, then even if you start falling, you can slow fall until you get in range of the next one.

[clever stone]

My current plan is to make a giant mega factory sort of at a nexus point between several of my factories

[mystic oriole]

I was once considering making a hover pack maze

[clever stone]

Calling it Olympus Mons and while I think it’ll be primarily used for a much much better steel production and transportation system I might also add more floors for different factories

[dusky topaz]

how can i connect multiple conveyor belts together

[clever stone]

Merger

[dusky topaz]

when do i get that

[clever stone]

Have you just started

[hard ivy]

HUB

[clever stone]

Because you get it super early on

[dusky topaz]

yes

[feral geyser]

Logistics milestone, tier 1

Go to the HUB and bring the needed mats

[dusky topaz]

which phase

[feral geyser]

Pre-elevator

[coral bough]

Rush logistics mk2

[clever stone]

phase 0? I honestly don’t remember but it’s like either that or phase 1

[coral bough]

Isn't phase 0 just the hub upgrades

Bc phase 2 unlocks coal

[dusky topaz]

i just finished phase 0

[vestal bridge]

Do you know if i can get a refound when it doesnt run good?(im a very new pc gamer)

[feral geyser]

Then yeah, go to the HUB and you should be able to start Tier 1.

[coral bough]

Depends

Where'd u buy it

[vestal bridge]

Steam

[shrewd palm]

steam accepts refunds before* 2 hours

[feral geyser]

Did you buy it in Steam? If so, there is a two week, two-hour play return period

[vestal bridge]

no im thinkingf about it

[shrewd palm]

you should also be able to lower some graphics settings to have it run a little better

[feral geyser]

The other option is, turn some of your setting down

Jinx

[coral bough]

It can be over 2 hours sometimes

[vestal bridge]

yeah,but i wanted to know if i can get one when that doesnt work

i dont have it yet

[clever stone]

Here’s my starting advice I would have liked to have known

• don’t worry too much about organization in the early game but try to keep everything at least not messy. The less messy things are the better it’ll feel when you expand
• when building conveyors the R key has different build modes to suit the specific design of the factory
• foundations are king and I recommend setting up a factory on them as soon as possible

[shrewd palm]

so long as you have played the game for more than 2 hours and havent had it in your library for over 2 weeks steam will give you a refind

[coral bough]

Yes you can, but you could also use GeForce now to run it for an hour for free or more for 10$ till you can get a better pc

[shrewd palm]

also on any game's steam store page you can scroll down a little bit and it will show the minimum and recommended pc specs to play the game

[vestal bridge]

that an option too im thinking about it thanksto yall

[shrewd palm]

the minimum i think is the bare minimum needed to play the game at an acceptable fps (probably 60+)

and then the recommended is that same fps on either i think either high or medium settings

[vestal bridge]

i know and there but something like beamng runs even if i have lower specs

[coral bough]

No man, if you do use GeForce without paying 10$ there probably will be a wait to get the game running but definitely worth it to play satisfactory

[shrewd palm]

problem with geforce is that you have to wait to use it and i think you can only use it for a certain time

[vestal bridge]

i know

or i could pay 10 bucks

[coral bough]

Id recommend paying the 10$ a month because lower wait times by alot and you get alot of play time for any game you own that your pc cant run

[vestal bridge]

yeah

[shrewd palm]

what are your pc specs?

[vestal bridge]

wait a sec

32 ram,a nvidia geforce gtx 970 and a amd ryzen 5 9600X 6 core

steam says no but steam is only most of the time right

[shrewd palm]

that'll probably be fine

usually what ends up tanking in this game is cpu related stuff in the endgame anyways

and thats only with super big builds

[vestal bridge]

okay,thanks i probably buy it then

[coral bough]

Yeah just dont build a mega factory

[vestal bridge]

i think my brain gonna die if i build to large so no problem

[clever stone]

And I’ve learned to close intensive apps like web browsers while playing the game

I like to listen to videos while I play but if the lag gets too horrible I close it and switch to the media player

[vestal bridge]

i know i dont lock videos but sometimes have something big opend in the background

[plucky flower]

Dont recommend with those graphics

[reef basin]

"megafactory" means "all production in one place". it has nothing to do with size

[vestal bridge]

do you mean me?

[plucky flower]

You can handle intil phase 3 probably

[plucky flower]

Your the only one that has a question

[vestal bridge]

but that would still be big in some way

[plucky flower]

I have a bit better graphics and im already struggling with mine

[plucky flower]

Not really

[vestal bridge]

wich do you have and what settings

[reef basin]

sure, but the term is not about size

[shrewd palm]

if you keep things small you'll probably be fine but its hard to say

[plucky flower]

Mine isnt really good t9 reference bc my cpu and gpu were 97 degrees running this

[vestal bridge]

yeah im gonna try it tommorow or something and mabye give feedback

[clever stone]

good luck soldier

[shrewd palm]

unfortunately a 970 is super outdated

[vestal bridge]

thank you king

[plucky flower]

My laptop is from 2012

[coral bough]

You can build pretty small modular factories which I suggest you do

[vestal bridge]

i know

[plucky flower]

Hadnt repasted it since then

[clever stone]

Dude how is that thing alive

And how long does it last off a charger

[plucky flower]

4 minutes max

[plucky flower]

Its ancient magic

[shrewd palm]

my school had a couple of laptops that i think were either from the late 90s or early 2000s

[plucky flower]

I dont know how

[shrewd palm]

underfunded science programs my beloved 💯

[cunning siren]

I use GTX 1080 with these settings 4k (2k upscale) 60 FPS 🤷 #screenshots message

[coral bough]

Would a 2060 handle mid-late game?

[shrewd palm]

it should

[vestal bridge]

so it sould run?(mabye im gonna make somethig lower)

[shrewd palm]

ive got a 3060ti and i get like 40-50 in the save where im making 12k aluminum and have a 630GW nuclear plant

although it drops down to like 20 at most when im at those factories

[gaunt sapphire]

are there known issues with vertical nudge? I noticed that at certain distance my railroad no longer aligned vertically with world grid vertically

[coral bough]

It hands heavily modded are survival evolved so im not gonna worry

[cunning siren]

You don't have to run 4k resolution, that's just what my TV does 🤷 It's rendering at 2k and upscales it so... Looks great though

[shrewd palm]

but the bigger question is

does it do asa

[coral bough]

Yes

[vestal bridge]

so it works(yes or no im a idiot)

[shrewd palm]

if you can run asa you can run anything

[coral bough]

Not at the absolute max graphics sadly

[coral bough]

Fr bro

[cunning siren]

Oh yea, it works for me, I would give it a shot with these settings and see what happens for you

[shrewd palm]

when i used to play ark i think it was like 20-30fps on max settings or something, but then turning off the volumetric fog and stuff made that like 50-60

[vestal bridge]

if it doesnt work i just refund it if still can then

[vestal bridge]

it runs for me at idk 1-20

[coral bough]

Could also get a better graphics card for like 300-500$

Maybe even 200

[shrewd palm]

30 series cards are really cheap now

and the amd equivalents

[coral bough]

I will never use a non GeForce graphics card

[vestal bridge]

do you think i have that money(im not that old and im saving for my license)

[shrewd palm]

40 series and amd equivalents i think are the best bang for your buck but i havent kept up with the 50 series prices

[coral bough]

Could do some side jobs like mowing lawns and shoveling snow

[shrewd palm]

if it wasnt for the 50 series cards basically just being 40 series but with AI i'd probably be a lot more inclined to go with nvidia

[vestal bridge]

im moing lawns but its very raine at this time in the year(for me)

[shrewd palm]

i am sick of AI and thats all nvidia does now

[coral bough]

Im used to Nvidia and its easy to update the cards

[coral bough]

Ahhh

[mystic oriole]

too bad there isn't more support, I'd go Intel for a GPU

[unkempt blade]

have you considered offering lawn drying as an upcharge?

[heavy anvil]

i would pay a whole nickel to have my lawn dryed

[native tapir]

Our giant factory cart obstacle course tower is finally finished!

#screenshots message

[native epoch]

quick question, is there a quick trash button/shortcut in the inventory

[fiery pewter]

Well you have the trash can

You can throw away stuff in bulk if its all the same item if you hold control

Otherwise maybe messing around with keybinds

Don't forget that the micro-nudge is not visible but does exist

[dusky topaz]

im lowkey kinda obsessed with this game

i still dont know what the end goal is

[turbid merlin]

It’s to save the day of course

[mystic oriole]

the best trash bin is the awesome sink.

[unkempt blade]

you should unlock factory carts and the skatepark foundation so you can switch this obsession to high key

[mystic oriole]

and make the factory carts have paths like you would for trucks/tractors. in that skate park. It's funny.

[unkempt blade]

yeah you definitely need to record routes for them while you're doing some awesome tricks

then you can watch them while sitting in your lawn chair on top of the hub

[mystic oriole]

or join them, and it's now an obstacle course.

[leaden turret]

sets fire to lawn

Hi all

Earlier I had gotten some good Alternative Recipes

1 is circuit boards produced using Silica and cooper sheet

Then i got computer Alternate that dont need plastic

Very decent recipes

I really am loving playing Satisfactory each day I improve more

[coral bough]

Its amazing

[versed mesa]

Yeah it is

I love zooping lol

What else to i love

Building connecting things together also

Love the Research Tree and with hard drives lol

And hunting fir crash sites and power slugs to mercers spheres ans summer sloops

that's the joke, yes

was gonna cruise down my highway with it 😢

[dense violet]

have only a left turn highway, problem solved

[next sequoia]

i thought the left right were jsut inversed does it actually only go one way lol

[dense violet]

nah, just inversed would be too good a quality and thus unbelievable

[shrewd hatch]

how do I use the truck stations in satisfactory

[native tapir]

And yet

@unkempt blade is still not signed up for the factory cart tower race. The mind boggles. The heart breaks. I truly cannot understand it. I think he is just pretending to like factory carts.

[dense violet]

set up 2 truck stations, record route

[feral geyser]

You gotta record your own path by making a tractor and driving it the path for the first time.

Then you can save it and load it into multiple vehicles.

[shrewd hatch]

Do I have to also load and unload in the recording

[native tapir]

No

[shrewd hatch]

it does it automatically?

[native tapir]

In fact, good luck putting a path anywhere near a station and having it not unload/load lol

[feral geyser]

You should allow some wait time so they can fully unload or load.

[shrewd hatch]

So do I have to drive back and forth?

and then end the recording

[feral geyser]

Yes, closed path

[shrewd hatch]

oh okay, I understand

[unkempt blade]

where's the sign up?

[shrewd hatch]

thank you guys

[native tapir]

Check your DMs

@unkempt blade I have been pestering you probably more than anyone because you're the one person who truly needs to be involved. The last month has been like watching The Kool Aid man out here talking about Coca Cola. Where have you been? Lmao

[native tapir]

Just DMd you again lol

[unkempt blade]

chasing new clients around, trying to get money to feed my crippling video game habit

[shrewd hatch]

the truck AI is genuinely retarded

[wicked nacelle]

Well something is for sure. Just not sure it’s the truck

[shrewd hatch]

the game devs*

I drew the line perfectly and it decides to drive into the beach and do flips

[dense violet]

99% of issues is people recording turns fast or plotting traffic through bad terrain.

[shrewd hatch]

oh

but the thing is, at the truck platform even, it doesnt know what to do for a minute and then drives off, then it respawns itself and goes along its intended path.

[dense violet]

trucks are best used when you plan factories with natural roads between them

[dense violet]

check inventory of the station and if it's set right

as long as the truck is set to automatic, and the station is set to load or unload properly, it'll transfer stacks of items while in front

[shrewd hatch]

Okay so the truck loaded up the stuff

its all good, just the loading and unloading is a bit bad

I think I need to expand the area of loading and unloading so it can navigate better

[dense violet]

as long as you drive into the station and pause for a bit, should be good

[shrewd hatch]

yea I did that

the truck got flung for some reason

[dense violet]

you can show the problem area in #math-and-meta if you want? maybe something weird is happening

[shrewd hatch]

this terrain is so jagged

ill just re record

the terrain is the problem

[dense violet]

this might be an issue of 'choosing poor terrain' then.

some spots benefit from being paved

imo trucks shine best when designing the system so yo udon't need any roads paved, but having to pave only certain bits isn't awful either

[shrewd hatch]

Wait can I reverse into my truck station?

[dense violet]

you can, but I'd imagine if you have multiple trucks moving about it might cause traffic issues

personally I'd design around the need for backing up

[spark sky]

Hm, I tried to follow someone's instructions on building hexagons. I wanted to make a blueprint that I could tile. I found out that the blueprint almost tiles, but I can only get one edge of two of the tiles to fit together (and even then, they might be overlapping slightly). No honeycomb-style mapping out of factory cells. Not sure what would work. Might try making another tile rotated 90 degrees and see if I can move that one into place.

BTW, can't build a building blueprint out of that tile, the two points that are at the edge of the blueprint designer can't be built on, anything I try to put there brings up a message that it's overlapping the blueprint designer. So much for having as much room as possible in nice, tileable buildings that aren't squarish.

[dense violet]

#design-and-architecture is a good channel to try to figure out design things. You can post images there.

also yeah you have to be very careful at the edges. being 0.0001m out from the border trips the issue

[narrow canyon]

Are they ever going to fix the "frozen drone" issue? Keep having to save/load to undreeze drones that stop mid flight. :/

And that's when I actually see them.. have no way of knowing one is frozen unless I come across it. :/

[white dawn]

They just mentioned on the last stream that that bug's got a high priority on it

-> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELBLXHedaZY&t=141s

[white dawn]

You can, but self-driving trucks won't really reverse on their own (except temporarily as part of an attempt to correct a driving error)

[peak wasp]

can you run satisfactory on a steam deck late game?

[dense violet]

depends how big you go I imagine

[lime ermine]

I have a factory in phase 5, runs at about 40 fps

Terrible to look at but it works

[peak wasp]

But I mean 30 fps is probably what I get on my pc anyways

I wanna try a steam deck see how it runs satisfactory and ps5 port games

[lime ermine]

IDK about PS games but satisfactory is playable. I have a pretty nice PC and get about 100 fps so I'm a little spoiled but yeah the deck does a good job running it

[peak wasp]

Good to know, I really wanna get one when its on sale next

[lime ermine]

It'll probably go on sale for the winter sales, if not before

[sick falcon]

can you not place blueprints inside the blueprint designer

[white dawn]

You should be able to

So long as they fit, anyway

[sick falcon]

it was made in the designer, so it should, but im placing it back in there and its saying it overlaps

[shrewd hatch]

My gpu gets 50% utilisation

[native tapir]

I got a used one for very cheap. Check marketplace and offer up. Mine was used for a grand total of 10 hours by a guy who just didn't have the time he wanted to play it. It was obvious too by the pristine shape it was in lol

SF runs fine on it on my fairly big save.

Just be discerning. I could tell which decks were heavily used and I decided not to buy from folks who were short with me or acted odd via DM. The guy I finally bought from was friendly and pretty clearly decent.

$250 for mine. Great buy. Got the lcd model since that's the one folks are getting rid of.

[white dawn]

If it was made in the same size designer, you should at least be able to load the blueprint using the control panel

I think sometimes the BP designer lets stuff through that it shouldn't, so maybe that's the case here and it's technically out-of-bounds. Loading it should theoretically work, though

[sick falcon]

yea but i dont want to load it, i want to place it in there to move it around

[white dawn]

Yeah, I know it's not quite the same thing. :)

[dense violet]

you probably have something that is using all the space right at the edges

floating point error probably shifting the BP 0.0001m against the edge

[sick falcon]

oh a conveyor pole placed on the edge that it let me place broke it

[dense violet]

yeah I mentioned using the edge

[peak wasp]

That sounds like a great deal depending how much storage it has internally

[spark sky]

Well, it's not the honeycomb idea I had, but this could be interesting: #design-and-architecture message

[native tapir]

1TB plus a nice little ssd with another 1tb!

[restive agate]

for the dimensional depot do you guys sushi belt or one per item

[shrewd palm]

i just set up a depot for anything that needs to be stored

[spark sky]

I don't think you want the sushi belt to go directly into the DD, as if you put in something that the cloud is full of, it will just stop taking anything. Best to split off the sushi belt to individual DDs, one item per.

[shrewd palm]

^^

[restive agate]

ohhhh true

good point

i gotta get exploring need more mercer spheres

[shrewd palm]

im gonna go exploring soon (i promise)

i just need to find like 4 more somersloops so i can make an augmenter and open any crash sites i find

[spark sky]

Heh, I have a lot to explore, there have to be more lizzard doggos out there, my kennel isn't full, yet.

[shrewd palm]

that and some better jetpack fuel, ideally smart ammo (although i'd settle for turbo ammo), and a rad suit

i need alt recipes before i get too deep into phase 4

[spark sky]

Stuck on other things, phasing in and out of phase 2.
