satisfactory

[solemn edge]

yeah but I dont have any fright from it

I just have severe discomfort

[cunning siren]

That counts

[reef basin]

you're not required to have it officially to enjoy the arachnophobia mode ingame 🙂

[rustic pier]

I have thalassophobia.. and i like the ocean so it sucks xD i just wont swim in it often.

[cunning siren]

Yea, deep water freaks me out sometimes too

[rustic pier]

I just dont have the reaction to pictures. Its the thought of being out there physically that would freak me out a bit lol..

[solemn edge]

Also check screenshots, is this a good spot? (it has coal from what I know)

[frail sleet]

It's normal to be uncomfortable with deep, open water 😄

[reef basin]

these are better in #1038092680493801533 or #math-and-meta

[frail sleet]

it is not our habitat

[cunning siren]

Remember playing the Subnautics and having many internal reactions to the deep waters and big stuff in the water

[solemn edge]

too lazy to at the very moment

[reef basin]

well I'm too lazy to check other channel 😛

[solemn edge]

anytime I saw a ghost leviathan, I logged off for the day

the reapers were (generally) bearable

[rustic pier]

I also get a little freaked out when something is chasing me and i cant see it.. same with subnautica, but i actually finally played till the end

[solemn edge]

but not the ghosts

[cunning siren]

Noice, good for you

[solemn edge]

but lowkey subnautica kind of awesome

I remember sharting myself after I was casually playing and hearing a roar mid second

[clever stone]

Subnautica was great but their base-building really lacked a lot

Would have been more interesting to have more functional rooms and the level of modular base building that this game does

Honestly I think though satisfactory is missing a lot of interior decoration items

[hard ivy]

depending on when you played last, that could've improved a lot. they was a update to bases long after release

[clever stone]

To which game?

Subnautica?

[hard ivy]

subnautica

[clever stone]

I just played it over the summer 😅

[solemn edge]

I liked the simple base building

but I more prefered the submarine, and that you could build in it

[hard ivy]

ah, yeah, then that's after the update. tbh I didn't find the post-update base-building lacking

[clever stone]

I think I just ran out of room ideas pretty fast then 😅

But yeah with Satisfactory I’d think picture frames and tables and chairs could be cool

[rustic pier]

Agreed.. i made a view room at the top of one of my buildings thats all glass.. just kinda threw in the workbench and such in there.. feels lacking lol.. give me sit-able benches and plants and stuff

[clever stone]

This is why I think some farming beds could be nice

It would give some opportunity to have renewable foods and some greenery to liven up the place

[shrewd palm]

supposed to be a lot better in subnautica 2

we must hope that krafton didnt mess things up too badly

[charred sandal]

Dont judge me but, is there a way to track your sloops that isnt a mod

lol....

[waxen cargo]

😄😄

[solemn edge]

how many coal generators can a coal node power

[cunning siren]

I use the notes part of the in game area to designate where I put them on a temporary kind of way, I also use Satisfactory Modeler to track them in a more permanent way: https://satisfactorymodeler.itch.io/satisfactorymodeler

[hard ivy]

!wikisearch cg

[raven axle]

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

[clever stone]

Man I’ve just realized how much I hate inputing water into nuclear plants

[shrewd palm]

each generator uses 15 coal and 45 water

[ornate saffron]

I use spreadsheets to track what i used and where.

to find more when i get down to the last 20 or so i end up using the interactive map

[cunning siren]

If something eats a boatload of water I build it on the water 🤷

[ornate saffron]

Going Nuclear is a Goal this run. In the past i just used rocket fuel

[clever stone]

I’ve learned my lesson most certainly

I did build it near water but definitely not good engine for these gluttons

[hard ivy]

ah yeah, it's certainly tedious

[ornate saffron]

Any tips for going nuclear?

[hard ivy]

plan out everything before you build anything

[ornate saffron]

always sound advice and something ive been forcing on myself

[shrewd palm]

DONT store the waste

its a bandaid fix that will be very bad in the future

[clever stone]

My standard for a baseline NPP is two water pumps per reactor but it’s so ass the moment you try to boost their production

[shrewd palm]

much better to turn it into plutonium rods and either sink or go all the way to ficsonium

bonus points if you use the plutonium rods for fuel for drones and stuff

[native frost]

Played for the first time today i set my self a 1hr timer i completely ignored it 2 and half hours ago

[shrewd palm]

better be careful or its gonna be like 3am next time you look at a clock

[clever stone]

Shoot you know what would be great 👀

There’s that mod that turns all liquids into gases but what if there was a machine that could convert liquids into gasses and back again? Kind of like a packager?

[ornate saffron]

turn on the ingame break messages.

[native frost]

Lmao im do that

[ornate saffron]

stretch drink water. hug your loved ones. then back to the factory

[ornate saffron]

are pluto rods radioactive? just need to plan out things lol

[clever stone]

Yeah

[shrewd palm]

very

[clever stone]

Incredibly

They’re an angry glowing element

[shrewd palm]

the area that i was using as a global drone fueling network was the highest level of radioactive for like

at least 50 meters in any direction

that was with probably a good 20 drone ports and an isc filled with plutonium rods

[ornate saffron]

good to know, my next question was spacing but you answered 50 meter diameter

[shrewd palm]

if i didnt turn on god mode i would burn through any filters i had and die in a couple seconds from the radiation

[clever stone]

Spacing doesn’t really matter too much as long as you’ve got the radiation filters automated

[ornate saffron]

polyresin for that right?

[clever stone]

Mhm

[ornate saffron]

ty

[native frost]

Wake up meet the constructors, say hello to the smelters, goodnight to the family

[tranquil maple]

you guys left the factory?

[mortal ginkgo]

Why did you guys not tell me the Power Augmenter building is not only cool but also do scary noises?

[shrewd palm]

you should try and touch the somersloop

in the middle of the beam

[tranquil maple]

just wait till u shove the mini fusion reactors in them

[mortal ginkgo]

I actually did, I was literally inside the beam to see if something happened. I jumpscared lol

[shrewd palm]

lol

[mortal ginkgo]

gotta wait too much, on phase 2 right now kek

[tranquil maple]

sad

[mortal ginkgo]

cant move on without decorating.. I need proffesional help

[shrewd palm]

but it looks so good when you're done tho

[tranquil maple]

just get a degree in architecture, should fix the problem

[ornate saffron]

Only in spirit. Ficsit contracts doesn't let us leave the factory physicalLY

[tranquil maple]

leaving the safety area of the factory would cause unessacary risk to FICSIT property

[mortal ginkgo]

#screenshots message

I know right? Here my cute 4 concrete towers, making 180/concrete each :3

[white dawn]

Apart from just manually keeping track of them, by whatever means you find most convenient, it's also often helpful to decide on a specific visual customization you can apply to slooped machines; that way they'll at least visually stand out if you're looking at the factory

[charred sandal]

Not a bad idea

[white dawn]

Can make locating them via tools in SCIM a bit easier too, since SCIM changes coloration based on the customizations on the machines

[charred sandal]

thx.

Hope I can find the ones I have out now 🥲

[versed mesa]

Am tired today

[white dawn]

Obviously not a full solution, since you still have to go around looking, but better than nothing. :)

[versed mesa]

😢

[mortal ginkgo]

Bro they wouldn't let me use that much signs for coolness. Saying like "zomg electricity bro like dude where did you learn how to do these designs anyway?" and I would be like "satisfactory bro get on my level"

then I would be fired, or thrown out of the college

[shrewd palm]

#screenshots message ive been working on my main base for like 40 hours lmao

the stuff being produced is like 99% done, just need to get some high speed connectors going and then im all done

[mortal ginkgo]

love the design and the place you put it

[shrewd palm]

the area on the roof is gonna be the actual base part

storage, drone port, weapons factory, hub, a couple exploration rooms, etc

[tranquil maple]

Man i need to get better at decorating, i just throw together smth meh then leave the biome for 50 hours

[shrewd palm]

#screenshots message this is all i've really got done on the roof area so far

[mortal ginkgo]

I solved this problem by deciding to share each Phase of my base when the time comes.

it gives another reason to decorate

even if you know you wont ever visit again

[tranquil maple]

yea ig

[charred sandal]

man is there such thing as radioactive spots where theres no nodes or resources?

I feel like im going crazy

[shrewd palm]

theres probably a mineable uranium rock lying around

or maybe a nuclear hog

[charred sandal]

I mined the one that was there and the exact spot is max radioactive

I cant find anything else

[frail sleet]

there is a bug where radiation can persist until a reload

so save, then load that save

[charred sandal]

reloading, lets see

[white dawn]

There are also a few spots on the map where there's radioactive deposits in caves which are underneath the surface (but close enough to cause some ambient radiation)

[charred sandal]

Yup fixed. thank you

[white dawn]

Though if you cleared out some nodes on the surface it's almost certainly that bug, yeah.

[charred sandal]

Ive unlocked nuclear but havnt started it yet (or even aluminum for that matter)....

Theres uranium nodes right? I dont have to save this little bit of resources?

[white dawn]

Correct, just sink the uranium

Don't even need it for any MAM research or whatever

[mortal ginkgo]

you pressed "Sort" to find the uranium node easier, which is a bug that makes radiation permanent.

it is a bug and the planned release is Satisfactory 3 - Revenge of the Blood Singers

[white dawn]

is that before or after lasers?

[versed mesa]

Theres a Mod called Drone charger

[charred sandal]

idk wym by pressed sort to find the node easier :3

[mortal ginkgo]

Batteries not being chargable is a crime to humanity (and to those batteries too)

[charred sandal]

I just flew arounnd to see them

[versed mesa]

True lol

[mortal ginkgo]

bug happens because of that. "I mined the one that was there" so you got some in your inventory

if you threw it out after pressing sort, radiation persists as a bug and reload fixes it as others said

[charred sandal]

ah. yeah it wasnt that, but thats good to know thank you.

[mortal ginkgo]

oh there is more issues like that?

glad to know it myself to know to reload then

[versed mesa]

Drones should be charged from power storage units

[tranquil maple]

what??

where did you get that idea?

[mortal ginkgo]

This MADMAN !

[tranquil maple]

drones would be WAY to op if they ran on elecricity

[versed mesa]

Lol

[frail sleet]

Yes there is 2100/min of infinite uranium

[versed mesa]

Power storage units are basically batteries lol

[charred sandal]

You mean I cant delete every single belt and do 100% of my logistics with drones in end game like I can factorio?

How sad.

[pearl ocean]

Most drones are electric in real life.

[mortal ginkgo]

Drones are kinda must in Factorio

[versed mesa]

Yup

[white dawn]

You could do 100% drone-logistics if you wanted

[mortal ginkgo]

Oh no not the "ATCHTUALLY 🤓 IRL" guy for discussions please!

I am standing on a floating foundation and brotherman brings up irl.

[versed mesa]

Lol

[pearl ocean]

Can you power drones with the nuclear fuel rods?

[rustic quest]

Yeah but while the drone won't be radioactive the port will so it can be a bit of a pain

[versed mesa]

You mean Uranium Fuel Rods

[shy mulch]

This is not factorio

[charred sandal]

Literally nobody said it was.

[pearl ocean]

And plutonium and I guess ficsonium

[versed mesa]

Yup

[pearl ocean]

I wouldn't do that if its going to make the base radioactive

[charred sandal]

"Like I can in factorio" is a VERY clear acknowledgement that I am aware this is not factorio

[mortal ginkgo]

I think what he meant is "same rules dont need to apply due to difference in game play etc"

[charred sandal]

Not sure what the point of your comment was

[versed mesa]

I agree lol

[shy mulch]

I can't believe I can't use trebuchets like I can in age of empires. How sad

[rustic quest]

I guess it depends where the port is, if it's in a factory where you don't really go much it doesn't matter

[charred sandal]

Cant believe youre allowed on the internet, how sad

[mortal ginkgo]

well umm.. atcuhually, you can send yourself high up with various means. Mmhmmhhhhhggh 🤓

[versed mesa]

@shy mulch hi mate how is your game play today ?

[pearl ocean]

@rustic quest The port will be located far away lol

[shy mulch]

Haven't actually played the game in about 2 weeks. Been busy with work and other adulting. Just pop on here for banter when I have a few mins

[rustic quest]

So it doesn't really matter if it's radioactive

[versed mesa]

Or for real ok cool

[rustic quest]

Finally I got smart splitters

[pearl ocean]

@rustic quest yeah if I wanted to I would just automate Iodine-fuse filters and upload them to the depot

Can anyone tell me why there aren't very many Americans that play this game?

[solemn edge]

is it better to use 1 merger for 2 smelters, or 3

[leaden turret]

I feel that is not at all a true thing

[pearl ocean]

@leaden turret I never see anyone LFG with an American tag. I see alot of EU.

[leaden turret]

that could just be that americans don't play with other people 😛

[pearl ocean]

@leaden turret I also don't see very many when I try to look on twitch or youtube.

@leaden turret true

[rustic quest]

As long as the belt capacity is there doesn't really matter, personally I use manifolds on both sides meaning both one splitter per machine and one merger per machine (this is not a super hard rule especially if there are only 2 machines)

@solemn edge my typical smelter setup when there's enough space is like this:

merger - smelter - splitter - smelter - merger

then the two merger lines combine at the end as it fits for that factory

[ornate saffron]

decore is hard. ive been trying to up my game though #screenshots

[clever merlin]

tbh i dont even see a lof of the error

[shy zenith]

Can I build a space elevator in the desert and send stuff to the grassland elevator?

[leaden turret]

can only build one elevator

[shy zenith]

I’m gonna need a long belt then

[hard ivy]

or a train or a drone

not even sure wat i would call this none of the that area applys to my problem that in game issues this is a lanucher issue

nvm

<3 @hard ivy

[turbid merlin]

I’m actually pretty happy, restarted since I’ve gotten the hang of the game again. Went with a rocky desert start since I’ve ever done a start there. 2hrs in and I’m ready to rip my slapped together setup for a proper starter factory. Even have cast screws and stitched iron plates!

[unkempt blade]

Nice! Cast screws is a great recipe!

[turbid merlin]

Didn’t want to tear down the current setup till I had that

Tier 2/3 is basically finished par for the jump pad

[reef basin]

you never need to tear down things 🙂

[turbid merlin]

I mean, sorta need to. Want to put down foundations!

Got concrete variant so gonna be nice in the rocky desert I think

Sacrificed some stators to the sink for them

[rustic quest]

Concrete does indeed go really well in a rocky biome

[dim cradle]

Lol entire group of spiders popping in on me when I get close to an island

good thing I'm not doing multiplayer...

[unkempt blade]

but then you could use your friends as spider bait!

[dim cradle]

Or I could just reload with impunity

[rustic quest]

@dim cradle one cool thing you can do if you have spiders and hogs nearby is to lure one to the other and have them fight eachother instead

[dim cradle]

Well that's the funny thing, there were poison plants on this plateau

I kill all of them start going towards it

they literally all spawn within 5m

[rustic quest]

Ah yes that's another cool thing you can do once you have the gas mask, it's hilarious seeing them cough and then die while you chill in the poison cloud

[gaunt quail]

Howdy I just joined, I went through the frequently asked questions and I am looking at the Reddit post at the bottom of the list of FAQ

I wanted to ask if anyone knows how I can check what caused my game to crash cause the last 2 times it did I haven't seen like a unity crash report or anything?

[dim cradle]

no I mean like those poison plants were already right beside where they spawn

lol so they should have already been fighting

[pearl ocean]

@shy zenith I would train it cause then if you make anything else out there you'll have infrastructure

[gaunt quail]

I just saw the help section sorry I'll ask my thing there

[rustic quest]

Anyway this playthrough I'm seriously considering to just cheat elevator parts and focus only on the non elevator game part

[dim cradle]

wait are all of these poison plants opening up just to try to kill this chicken

looo

[shrewd palm]

they'll attack whatever comes close to them i think

[dim cradle]

Yeah I saw them absolutely wreck a spitter

which is weird, they seem to have really low health

[pearl ocean]

Are there chickens in the game?

[shrewd palm]

i think they've got a little more health than hogs

spitters die in 3 iron rebar vs 2

[shrewd palm]

the little lizard bird things that are always in the way when you try to build a foundation on the ground

[pearl ocean]

Oh okay lol

[dim cradle]

I've never had them in the way in the desert

definitely had other things in the way

[pearl ocean]

You shot it?

[hard ivy]

why? the elevator parts don't take even 5% of the playtime

[shrewd palm]

if you really dont want to do them they're not that hard to make as much as you need

just save up the stuff from the previous phase and by the time you're done with all the stuff in the new phase you'll have way more than enough to throw down a couple machines and have them completed in an hour or two

[dim cradle]

Love how I'm just throwing bombs and don't quite stick a hog with all of them, blow them up. Dude's moves right where they were landing and sits there. "Nah hold on dude, I'll get in place, there you go!"

[rustic quest]

That's pretty much why. My first playthorugh I did all parts (except nuclear pasta) on temp setups and since it's otherwise inconsequential might as well just get past them as quickly as possible I think, I haven't decided yet

[nova palm]

hello how are you doing

[rustic quest]

Hi, pretty good I tackled AI limiters and got the smart splitters

[wicked nacelle]

That’s what I do every playthrough until the last (when there’s nothing left to unlock to make building better). Putting a bunch of time into suboptimal builds just doesn’t make sense. Nor does building much without hoverpack.

[dim cradle]

This is weird, why does my build mode keep being forgotten for these ramps

[rustic quest]

This time around if I decide against just cheating the elevator parts I might do it properly on some corner of the map

I don't want just a repeat of my first playthrough if I can help it

[sturdy mural]

guys can you unpaint things?

[wicked nacelle]

Everything is painted just somethings are painted default

You can paint things the default palette just the same way

[hard ivy]

paint it with the default swatch

[sturdy mural]

its the wrong color im afraid

wait

what is the Default Swatch
where

[wicked nacelle]

It’s not. Because if you change the swatch it changes all the buildings painted with it. You’re using wrong palette

[dim cradle]

Anyone? For some reason whenever I switch to the 5m ramps they're not in Zoop mode anymore...

[sturdy mural]

OOH
there is a separate swatch for foundation and concrete foundation

[wicked nacelle]

Just put it back in zoop?

[dim cradle]

I do it just throws me off because I'm about to run forward and it only ends up being one piece

[wicked nacelle]

Have a parachute 🙂

[sturdy mural]

just tank the damage 😎

wish me luck guys im going to make a waste processing plant now

[dim cradle]

think I might have just found the first bauxite I've somehow ever seen

[sturdy mural]

nice

[dim cradle]

(not that it matters I can't do anything with it yet but I was just miffed I've never seen one despite skyplatting all over the world)

also are the AI conversations with the aliens considered spoilers

because this is kind of funny

[sturdy mural]

i'd say possibly?

[dim cradle]

wasn't really sure what was considered the story in this

[plain marten]

why does 1.2 want to fix fluids? like what is there to fix about fluids anyway? pipes work just fine

they arent confusing

[shrewd palm]

they will be you just havent reached that part yet

unless you build them properly pipes (mk2s especially) have a bunch of weird problems and bugs and stuff

[dim cradle]

I don't think they're ever confusing, at least from what I remember in early access, just kind of annoying

[small pebble]

Is 1.1 currently live or just on experimental???

[dim cradle]

didn't notice the bugs much or just didn't know about it at the time

[shrewd palm]

you'll think they're fine but then when you're doing some big and you really need them to work everything will go wrong

[dim cradle]

I guess I just never did anything big even though we got to the particle accelerators and stuff

[shrewd palm]

1.1 has been out for several months, if you mean 1.2 its supposed to be going live early next year i think

might be in experimental after the console release

[small pebble]

I saw someone saw 1.1 is only on the experimental lol

But Idk 😂

[plain marten]

im at phase 5

[shrewd palm]

thats VERY outdated

[small pebble]

It was about 6 hours ago 👀

[shrewd palm]

you mean 1.2 right

[small pebble]

Someone is outdated then haha

No.

[dim cradle]

why are ladders so finnicky in this

[shrewd palm]

because 1.1 has literally been out for like 4 months

[plain marten]

the only annoying thing about pipes is capacity i dont think theres anything else wrong with fluids

[reef basin]

well if you understand how they work, they aren't weird. And there's not many bugs apart from the pipe junction rotation

[dim cradle]

what's the pipe junction rotation bug

[civic swan]

I've started playing the game satisfactorily now. Is it better to build a main bus system or build factories based on ore veins?

[plain marten]

no bus

[shrewd palm]

theres nothing "wrong" with them its just that the game never really explains how to build them to avoid issues and most people dont realize what they're doing wrong or dont know enough about how fluids are supposed to work to be able to figure them out

[reef basin]

different rotation of vertically placed pipe junction handles fluids differently and may give weird headlift or loss of headlift, also weird priority

[reef basin]

bus is not very good in Satisfactory

[dim cradle]

you can do either one, it doesn't matter, both bus and building on site works

[shrewd palm]

like there are so many people here that come with complaints about pipes so it was only a matter of time until they changed them

[dim cradle]

if you do bus I would suggest putting the bus on one floor by itself

[plain marten]

well then theres nothing to fix in 1.2 except better introduction to pipes

[dim cradle]

and producers on a separate one

[plain marten]

and fluid truck is a complete and utter waste of man-hours unless trucks get fixed first

[reef basin]

bugs would be nice to fix

on the other hand, trucks work just fine

[dim cradle]

You know I think I think I noticed that when I was building my last batch of coal gens.

[plain marten]

no you cant make paths well and you cant edit them and theyre glitchy

just randomly get launched into the air

[reef basin]

most people do with them just fine

[dim cradle]

One of them shouldn't have been out of base water extractor headlift range but for some reason it was

[plain marten]

i do too but it left me never wanting to make truck routes again

[hasty lion]

hi

[wicked nacelle]

Yep. And I never did. By the time you need to move stuff significant distances you have trains

[dim cradle]

yeah we used trains in our playthrough but not trucks, well I think like once to mess around with it

[mystic oriole]

such a shame too, Trucks don't get the love they need. Since they were buggy in U5-8

[formal mauve]

can you guys tell me reasons to use trains

[shrewd palm]

what reasons arent there

[small pebble]

What do yall use trains to transport? Are you moving ore or ingots? Or like super computers and heavy medal frames etc… feel like they aren’t great for moving slow producing product versus like a drone lol

[shrewd palm]

basically unlimited throughput and you can put them anywhere on the map

[formal mauve]

well only thing I can think up is bringing everything to my main base without using conveyors, it'll go fast but still

[shrewd palm]

anything that is too much for a drone (so mostly raw resources but also sometimes plastic/rubber)

[dim cradle]

If I'm going to transport some liquid all the way back to base, I think train is the best way

[shrewd palm]

that too

[dim cradle]

course you could just do the processing where you find it

with conveyors you don't have to worry about head lift and all that stuff but with pipes it may be annoying

[shrewd palm]

i am a big advocate for transportation of nitrogen via train

[wicked nacelle]

That was only part of the problem. They’re a pain in the ass still and they require fuel not electricity. They just serve no purpose other than if you like the aesthetic

But the path system is really the killer

[mystic oriole]

It's a cool gimmick to give a bunch of carts and they drive on their own.

[dim cradle]

Okay that is weird, this must be the highest damage tick rate radiation rock I've ever seen

[wicked nacelle]

Even if they half assed some sort of autopsying that you could tweak if necesssry that would be a huge step up

[dim cradle]

normally you can stand in the middle of like 5-6 of them while collecting something and it's no big deal, this one particular rock even when I reloaded and built a plat so that the radiation wasn't maxed, it was chunking like 3 bars a tick almost

[mystic oriole]

don't pick up the Uranium ore

[dim cradle]

I didn't, I was just standing near a rock

while picking up a purple slug

this particular one has an abnormally high damage tick

Nah nevermind I see what it is. They put one of those poison rocks on the island that's just like a tiny one

and the gas is invisible right now for some reason

[mystic oriole]

that would do it. Poison and radiation

Watch ADA remind you that you're Ficsit property

[dim cradle]

I dunno if it was me dying so fast but one time before I reloaded I noticed I just got transported straight back to base

with her saying that

[cunning siren]

Tanking the dmg to get the phat lootz makes me laugh sometimes

[dim cradle]

I've been doing that all game lol

[wicked nacelle]

I like how they soft lock a lot of stuff in the game

[dim cradle]

sloops in the middle of 6 rad rocks yeah going for it

[mystic oriole]

There was one I can't remember where it is, but you have to collect the Uranium to get to the sloop

[dim cradle]

Yeah I'm like

doing that one on and off... doing 2 picks, dropping, waiting for health to regen

it's taking a while

[zenith fractal]

there's gotta be easier sloops to collect

[dim cradle]

yeah I mean I'm collecting those then coming back to it every now and then

[mystic oriole]

by the time I was really wanting it, I did find a cheeky way to get more sloops.

[dim cradle]

after health regens

eyes on the prize

[cunning siren]

Desire for sloops > life 😆

[mystic oriole]

I've been cursed with this bug, that when you leave sloops in cloud, and reload your game it constantly stays in your que

[crisp jetty]

Which seems more useful, +6 inventory slots or quick wire stators?

[mystic oriole]

+6

[crisp jetty]

K

[dim cradle]

I would just reload that one but w/e

[reef basin]

which is more useful to you?

[cunning siren]

There's a few like that, I suppose if you take chunks out of it "one life at a time" you'll eventually wear the rock down 😆

[crisp jetty]

Idk mane but it’s too late now

[reef basin]

well you should decide yourself which one you want

[wicked nacelle]

take the inventory slots. They are deprioritized and really hard to get later

Like mid game when you have tons of recipes unlocked but not claimed

[dim cradle]

with dimensional inventory it's not too bad tho

[mystic oriole]

I've got two double storage full of sloops because of this bug. Kind of annoying But I'm not really complaining.

[reef basin]

inventory slots are pointless with DDs

[cunning siren]

OH yea, I remember like a patch caused them to respawn or something?

[dim cradle]

You dont' need to use a life but

it's hard to drop it fast enough with the inventory system

[mystic oriole]

that happened a few times, but I still get the leftover sloops in my upload que

[slim phoenix]

How to post in the Looking or a groop if I click post it did not post and I have to wait 6 heurs but noting get posted?

[mystic oriole]

I keep clearing them, but they still come.
I could probably make a purely alien power source at like 1TW with all the sloops I have now.

[slim phoenix]

I dont have all the time to try it everyday

[cunning siren]

I enjoy extra inventory slots, I hand feed stuff sometimes and it helps with that. Like with Smokeless Powder for example, you don't really need to automate it. A few inventory dumps will keep you loaded for a long time

[wicked nacelle]

I just made one. Did you put a tag on?

[slim phoenix]

yes

[rigid glen]

I used to do this, but I setup a small line to make the powder, I keep 1 bin and sink the rest, it's easier

[wicked nacelle]

Do you see the one I just made called text post

[slim phoenix]

No where?

[dim cradle]

I'm wondering if I could go on a sloop collecting spree and just kind of skip oil but I doubt it

[cunning siren]

I do both, first one then the other

[crisp jetty]

Should I be producing stators alongside motor production

[azure reef]

are radio control units even worth automating, seems like a pain in the ass just to use for like 3 occasional recipes

[rigid glen]

I have a setup where I make 1 bin a atime for these things, and computers, and hispd connectors etc, I make a BIN then do the next one as I need them

[azure reef]

bin?

[rigid glen]

1 storage container

[zenith fractal]

they are still worth automating imo

[rigid glen]

Agree, my methods aren't for everyone lol

[zenith fractal]

then again I use the OC supercomputer recipe

[cunning siren]

If you are sinking BWD for tickets they are unavoidable as far as I know

[azure reef]

idk i prefer having everything automated individually, even the early game ones

[zenith fractal]

so I have to automate them

[rigid glen]

I automate everything up to the black cube (sorry bad with exact names)

[azure reef]

whats a bwd

[rigid glen]

but the electronics I do as needed in batches

[azure reef]

heavy modular frames?

[raven axle]

Official Satisfactory Wiki

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

[cunning siren]

Hummm, whats the wiki command thing?

[azure reef]

3 million sink points?????????????

[cunning siren]

Yeees

"This is the way"

[azure reef]

also by automating radio control units i mean not using them in any other factories, just the end of the line being rcu's into a dimensional depot

[rigid glen]

I need to do that on my main save, it needs the last achievement

[mystic oriole]

Achievements are negotiable. Just have fun.

[hasty lion]

it is 10pm for me
wish me a happy birthday and you are earlier than my friend 🥲

[mystic oriole]

Happy Birthday?!

[wicked nacelle]

Dunno the context but if you need cpons you can double sloop and sink animal parts

[cunning siren]

With ~70 sloops can automate 10 BWD /min for 28.9 mil ~62 MW power

[azure reef]

yeah i already know this we were talking about ballistic warp drives

[rigid glen]

I have 2000 hours, I have lots of fun, but I wuold still like the last one to complete the set 🙂 but my lack automating high SINK point items is not biting me in the butt

[wicked nacelle]

Ah yes. My main save has 80/m so I know them well

[azure reef]

80 ballistic warp drives/minute???

how long have you played that save file lmao

[wicked nacelle]

Plus a little bit of other stuff for 240MP/m

[azure reef]

im sitting over here with 8.5k points/min

[wicked nacelle]

Long enough that you start to see what resources you run out of on the map

[rigid glen]

sounds like Kibz 🙂

[azure reef]

what the hell do you need that many tickets for

[wicked nacelle]

I find golden nuts unclog the toilet really well

[rigid glen]

what a weird flex, if true

[wicked nacelle]

I also sprinkle them around the map as an Easter egg for my future self. And I have a small army of them that I have attacking hard drives

[wicked nacelle]

You gotta figure out how to entertain yourself in end game I guess 🙂

[azure reef]

you probably dont even need anything automated at that point, you can probably just buy things at the shop

[azure reef]

just make a new save file at this point lol

anybody got some alt recipe recommendations to make radio control units simpler? even just looking at the satisfactory tools visualisation is giving me a headache

[azure reef]

also by this i literally mean anything from the start of the production line like alloy ingots or whatever

[mortal ginkgo]

Can I ask something? Why do I have 20 nuts in my inventory?

[charred sandal]

If I get a mod (Thinking of the one that lets you snap splitters directly to input/outputs) Would I need to restart? Or can I just add it to my current game

[reef basin]

try disabling recipes that seem too complicated and see what it gives you 🙂

[peak wasp]

why i cant release water in the ambient :?:

[reef basin]

why would you want to do that?

[wicked nacelle]

I think I make some with the one that eats the nitrogen canisters but that’s a pain because then you have to balance making new ones and recycling and it can be a pita

[peak wasp]

because the aluminia scrap produce water and i not know where utilize @.@

[wicked nacelle]

I ended up with two containers for empties at my nitrogen stops. I refill into the second one with a priority merger first from the other container

[zenith pecan]

The only reason I can think of is "Oh! noes! byproducts" rather than plan on their use.

[wicked nacelle]

Use it to make aluminum

[reef basin]

use it in the same production? it also needs water

[lament niche]

#screenshots message'

[rigid glen]

Hard tobalance, but VERY possible

[reef basin]

no need to balance at all

[wicked nacelle]

With vanilla recipe it’s pretty easy. As long as wastewater is less than half of intake it works well I’ve found.

[reef basin]

don't merge fresh and byproduct water, it works 100% of time

[wicked nacelle]

Or if it’s perfect like with sulfur recipe where it exactly matches acid requirement.

[peak wasp]

and how if not merge?

[reef basin]

[charred sandal]

Instant scrap vs base recipe?

[peak wasp]

thanks very much!

[reef basin]

whichever you like more

[zenith pecan]

Example being my baux setup, one refinery takes in freshwater, runs at 90% , two use only wastewater, both run at 105%

[wicked nacelle]

Make a second setup that doesn’t get any fresh water

[dim cradle]

christ the self built ladders in this are so buggy

[wicked nacelle]

And recycle that waste water into itself.

[dim cradle]

so many times I've fallen off trying to go down

[charred sandal]

Fee like I really want sloppy alumina before I start making aluminum, but am i over thgiunking it to much?

[peak wasp]

ok udnerstand, thanks very much ;D

[cunning siren]

🤷 do what you want

[charred sandal]

Looking for other opinions

If I wasnt, I wouldnt be typing here

[zenith pecan]

Sloppy > electrode > pure in my setup, it let me not only balance the fresh and waste systems but gets me 1 to 1 ore to ingot conversion so the numbers are easy.

[reef basin]

every option is a valid one. Check the possibilities and pick one that you personally like the most (or hate the least)

[zenith pecan]

You can get more raw output with the recipes that use and produce silica, mine was simplicity and keeping a decent output.

[shrewd palm]

you dont really need it but it makes things so much better

[mystic oriole]

I personally like instant scrap for aluminum.

[cunning siren]

Do what you want is my opinion

[zenith pecan]

I'd say easier rather than better tbh, once the classic system is running (and using electrode) you can produce more and still not need to touch it.

[shrewd palm]

i dont think im gonna go big into aluminum before getting all the alts that give me a 1:1 bauxite to ingot chain

[dim cradle]

am I just doing this wrong

I build one long ladder to go down... and half the time I'm going down I just fall off for some reason

[charred sandal]

My current alts are insant scrap and pure alum

zzzzz

[mortal ginkgo]

I start to notice this myself. It happens rarely at the connection of 2 ladder pieces

[shrewd palm]

electrode is so nice

sure it takes oil but like

[dim cradle]

It seems to happen to me a lot

[shrewd palm]

im not spending a fortune on coal i'll need later down the line

[dim cradle]

I've been marking these pure nitrogen sources

you use them later right

Forgot if it was geothermal power or what

[charred sandal]

Ok. Instant scrap + pure ingot seems to just work together great.

Idk why aluminum seems so complicated for me

no other steps even

[dim cradle]

iirc aluminum needs fluids?

[shrewd palm]

its your first time getting introduced to loops so its fine

[dim cradle]

Just annoying if they get backed up

[shrewd palm]

phase 5 is like this but a million times more

[shrewd palm]

yes

mostly just water but theres also a lot of alumina solution

[dim cradle]

yeah I think at one step of it you have to use all of the liquid otherwise it makes it so you can't make any more

that part's kind of a pain

[shrewd palm]

it really isnt that bad

[dim cradle]

it's not too bad if you know what to expect and have done it once

but until you have it's kind of annoying

[zenith pecan]

My very first aluminium refinery setup back in like update 4 was epic for all the wrong reasons 🤣

[dim cradle]

also wtf was with that room, huge spiders just kept spawning in

like literally showing up out of thin air

maybe I need to restart even though I just started it

[lament niche]

@zenith fractal @dim cradle @cunning siren #screenshots message

[dim cradle]

idk what I'm looking at

[lament niche]

I placed terrain and trees :D

[ornate saffron]

thats a mod ya?

[lament niche]

yup

[zenith pecan]

Placing trees and plants would be nice as a vanilla feature, I could make cool boulevards in factories heh , can dream 🙂

[ornate saffron]

in the meantime we Listen to A.D.A. and ignore all enviromental concerns

[dim cradle]

Hey I always go full solar in factorio

okay some of these later crash sites apparently just want me to carry around parts for one of those alien reactors with me

400mw? wtf lol

[ornate saffron]

you can get roughly 6000mw from geothermal when its at its low point (it fluctuates). as for the crashes they become easier as you get more cloud storage. i zip line every where using the long lines on power towers. I also use them for to connect up the geothermal enerrgy to my power grid

[dim cradle]

yeah I have 120/m cloud storage atm I think

just don't feel like building up 13-14 bioreactors and I haven't been placing powerlines behind me

I think those new bigger power lines must be a newer feature too

[ornate saffron]

ya, its one of those things you discover then yhou can plan for now that you know

[dim cradle]

idr them before

it's not that it's just when I'm exploring I don't wanna worry about power lines, I'm just marking locations of interest

just finished phase 2 anyway not much I can actually use

How worth it is getting the big power lines

are they pretty good

[ornate saffron]

i like them. they have a very far range and makes getting around a lot easier

the line length is much longer then your placment range so i launch my self of the power line using a jetpack and then click the tower i am launching off of with my power connecting tool then turn and place the next one.

[dim cradle]

wonder if we played last time without knowing about them or they just weren't in the game

[ornate saffron]

i started during update 7 i think you couldnt use power line to zipline at that time i dont think

[dim cradle]

maybe it's in the patch notes

[ornate saffron]

regarless its worth checking out to see if it is your cup of tea

[dim cradle]

I don't even see them in the wiki

must be looking wrong

[unkempt blade]

sorry but it's canon that the pioneer's cup is filled with rocket fuel not tea

[ornate saffron]

dnot sure if it helps but i posted inb #screenshots for you

[ornate saffron]

oddly enough im working on my rocket fuel power plant

im totally not addicted to the stuff in my cup

[dim laurel]

guys i miss doug :(

[placid stirrup]

Damn, that's crazy

[frail sleet]

Good news! Everything with byproduct water consumes equal or more water than it produces, which rather trivialises the problem

You just need one machine consuming only fresh water, another consuming waste water from itself and the fresh machine, then feed them resources.

They will even auto-balance themselves

[vague flame]

Hi just a quick question, is it possible to control multiple light switches with one single light switch by converging the lines?

[iron idol]

Okay, I don't know if this is a problem specific to me, but I'd appreciate it if Coffeestain added the ability to choose if our Pioneer has a more masculine or a more feminine body when starting a new game because I generally prefer to have my character be the same gender I am.

And I haven't found any mods so far that do this

[white dawn]

<3 @white dawn

[vague flame]

Serios question, why does it bother you? Nothings real in a video game, so why would the gender matter?

[iron idol]

I doesn't really bother me, per se, I'd just like to have the option

[vague flame]

I see but then again, I don't really understand why it would matter in a management game. Also how would you know what youre gender is? The game kinda doesnt reveal that.

[candid torrent]

solution: equipment so thick you can’t see any body shape at all

[white dawn]

Interestingly (IMO), in a historical context, CSS devs are likely from a generation who grew up playing games where your player choice was overwhelmingly male-dominated, and in such a lopsided situation, representation does start to matter. :)

[iron idol]

Ok, I started something I neither wanted, nor intended to start.

Wait that means the same thing.

[white dawn]

I personally suspect that the choice of a female Pioneer in the game is a direct response to that historical state

[iron idol]

Fair point

[iron idol]

Basically Pyro from TF2, then

[white dawn]

(I mean, I don't think anyone would complain if there was a choice. Not accusing you of being sexist or whatever. :) 🍻

[vague flame]

In any case it wouldnt matter because you can't see if youre a woman or not. They would have to modify movement, camara and even add a voice for the gender to be noticable so what's the point?

[candid torrent]

pretty much yeah

just hallucinate and wear armor

gender doesn’t matter if you’re so high you can taste your chromosomes

[vague flame]

That's probably true but I would prefer many other features over something that wouldnt even be noticable

[candid torrent]

OH how did i forget the other solution

[cunning siren]

I played the game for years without even thinking about it 😆

[candid torrent]

if you’re flying at mach 50 from a hypertube cannon you won’t even be perceived

[untold moat]

all our bones break the same (in the game)

[iron idol]

Ok, I don't play multiplayer, so I don't know what the Pioneer's animations are like, but surely it would just involve a slight model change?

[candid torrent]

what if we shattered every bone in our body together…

[untold moat]

in theory, though it could also mean changes to the hitbox as well depending on how specific CSS went with it.

though granted you would also have to consider from a dev standpoint the merit behind working on a feature a few people ask for vs the features a lot more people ask for (like the better fluids transport they are working on rn)

[flat rain]

or hard drive research queue (we need this)

[untold moat]

that would be nice, but I would also think could be abused for dupe glitches. adding a queue would be a lot more complicated than it would initially seem.

[flat rain]

why do you think that?
im a game dev and to me that would be a fairly simple feature to add. However, I don't know their codebase so maybe its complicated in this particular case

[vague flame]

Maybe, I understand if you would want this for multiplayer, but for single player im gonna be frank this would be just a plain useless feature.

[untold moat]

they would have to modify the UI for the MAM, they would also have to add more code for working on the queue, and if they are adding a queue, a pause button on the queue or the ability to remove things from the queue would be a good thing to have. I am not a game dev, but have a bit of coding knowledge so I would say this seems like a feature that would take a team about a week to add and get functional, and who knows how long to make it work correctly on both singleplayer and multiplayer

[iron idol]

Ok I need to learn how to make mods for Satisfactory

[feral geyser]

Just get used to being a woman 💪 they are objectively better than men anyway

Why the hell would you wanna be a man? 😒 🤢

[flat rain]

personally id see no reason to complicate it and add a pause/remove feature, there isnt much else to do with harddrives.

[untold moat]

so I don't have to deal with my body trying to kill me once a month?

[feral geyser]

I do know one mods that can change character models though

[feral geyser]

Non-existent in the game, irrelevant

[iron idol]

I'm probably missing the joke here, so feel free to put this on r/whooooosh, but both are equally (in)capable

[untold moat]

well when researching hard drives, you can't research anything else in the MAM; so if you have something you want to research, you would have to wait until the 10 hard drives you found on your escapedes finish scanning

[untold moat]

ah, you meant in the game. I do concur.

[flat rain]

yeah, imo planning is key in this game so its another thing to plan

[feral geyser]

Also irl

[untold moat]

there is a difference to planning because you want to make things more efficient and planning because of a feature that doesn't work very well with most people's work flow.

[feral geyser]

If you wanna be non-female, I have a mod for you

[iron idol]

Don't say the damn Protogen Pioneer

[feral geyser]

...

Okay then

[iron idol]

It's literally the only Pioneer mod I could find on Nexus

[feral geyser]

That's because we love our Rosie the Rocketeers here and no one except furries wants to not be them.

Soooo.... 🤷‍♂️ just callin it like I sees it

[iron idol]

Anyway I need to sleep now

Coffee and corporate mandates can only get you so far

[flat rain]

idk, i think if you wanna do 10 at a time you should realize thats 100 minutes and you should be ready for that.
However, lets say we add a pause button. UE already has a queue built in (TQueue). To attach a timer to it would be trivial. Pausing it wouldnt be much more effort.
I've also done something VERY similar in UE5. It was just a bit more robust in terms of time per object. It didnt have a pause but it did have a cancel. My own personal experience doing stuff like this says it would be fairly simple. The most time consuming part would be the UI.

[white dawn]

fwiw, in the future remember you can always construct a MAM out there in the field, plop in the newly-found hard drive, deconstruct that MAM, and then continue on your way

It's not impossible to find hard drives faster than the MAM can scan them, of course, but IME at least my exploration time tends to outlast my drive-researching time

[flat rain]

yeah i usually go "hunting" about mid game for them. ill research as i go but come back to base with like 20-30 of em lol.

[hard junco]

hey is there a limit for scanning? it says unable to scan (no rewards currently available)

i should pick one of the scanned ones right

[white dawn]

There's a limited number of things to scan for, so it's possible you've reached the end of the pool. There is a bug where if you've been scanning, the MAM might not let you start the scan for the last recipes until you save/reload

So if you think you've got 1 or 2 recipes left which the MAM hasn't gotten to, try saving and then reloading the game; should let you do the last scan then

There are more hard drives in the game than you can actually use, though, so eventually you'll have spare drives which won't be scanned

(and recipes only unlock as you progress through milestones + MAM research, so it's also possible to temporarily outstrip the available recipe pool)

[hard junco]

i see that makes sense yea thank u for ur answer

[versed mesa]

🫡

[cunning siren]

Got stuck under the map, glad that does not happen very frequently

[iron idol]

Wierd question but does anyone know where Satisfactory stores the player model

[cunning siren]

What phase are you in? Or have you GG'ed yet?

[hard junco]

GG'ed??
still in phase 2 i just did a lot of exploration and have over 30 hard drive

[untold moat]

IK that. im trying to think of this in a labor utilization manner. if this was an indie dev passion project type game like "A Merchant's tale", I would have different criteria; but as things are rn I don't think CSS is lacking from suggestions of things to add to the game. what they are missing is what the game should have according to people's perspective

[cunning siren]

GG'ed as in Good Game (Game Over) beaten objectives

[hard junco]

ahhh not even near that lmao

[cunning siren]

Ok

[spice spindle]

is there a way to turn on flight mode for an existing game? 💀

or can it only be done at the beginning?

[untold moat]

once you unlock refiners, you get a LOT more alts that you can get.

[untold moat]

AGS are available in the pause menu of single player IIRC

[hard junco]

yea thats i found searching reddit, some alts arent available for now thats why i cant research anymore

[spice spindle]

I'm not finding it 💀 it just says it's disabled

[cunning siren]

Looks like this will do it: https://satisfactory-calculator.com/en/interactive-map

Upload your save to that and modify it, then load the new save

[spice spindle]

Huh/

damn, i hope they patch the ability to do it in game in the future

[cunning siren]

Do this #screenshots message

[spice spindle]

the game isn't even showing up in my folder

Ugh

I'm gonna have to get my friend to help me

[cunning siren]

Ok

[true mulch]

Enable AGS before loading the save file

You can't do it once in game

[spice spindle]

Ohhh thank you

[spice spindle]

wait, I'm not finding a place to do that

oh nvm found it

[cunning siren]

OH, I thought AGS was something that can only be enabled at the new game start area

[odd remnant]

Are we able to split one item to another in one conveyer to another at least to a storage unit?

Isn’t that what the Smart conveyer is for?

[hard ivy]

Uhh... english?

[shrewd palm]

whar

[odd remnant]

I said and I quote with the smart conveyer can you split two items from one conveyor belt?

[shrewd palm]

yes

[odd remnant]

I think I spoke good English here

[shrewd palm]

the programmable splitter will let you take more than 2 items off and thats really the only difference between the two

[stable tulip]

Engrish. Its fine, it's not a hard language, just filled with stupid things

[odd remnant]

I don’t think I have that yet is that an item to unlock?

[shrewd palm]

yes, just a little farther down the caterium tree

[odd remnant]

I can tell from your lack of understanding

[odd remnant]

Thank you

I figured there was something like that

[hard ivy]

Though the smart splitter is usually enough

[odd remnant]

Idk for some reason I can’t change it to input

[shrewd palm]

programmable splitter is really only good if you want to do insane sushi belts

[odd remnant]

Only outputs

[shrewd palm]

they could just get rid of the smart splitter or programmable splitter and i dont think anyone would notice or care

[cunning siren]

TIL: Even though node outputs (Miners as an example) do not align with the world grid they DO align with floor holes that will align with the world grid 🤔

[odd remnant]

That’s what I’m trying to do, for my quartz factory

[shrewd palm]

smart splitters still work the same as regular splitters

ie they have one input and 3 outputs

[odd remnant]

Ahh okay I must be doing something wrong

[shrewd palm]

you can just change those outputs to be a specific thing

[odd remnant]

Yeah idk if I did it correctly. I will check again and again thanks for the help

[shrewd palm]

no problem

[frail sleet]

you can only unlock alts for stuff that you have already unlocked, so as you go through the tiers you can research more hdd's 😄

having all alts (or unwanted ones in the bank) is the best place to be, makes it very easy to get new alts for the new thing that you just unlocked.

[brazen wasp]

hello

[cunning siren]

Should I melt slugs down to power my jetpack even though I'm in phase 5 or should I finally spare their lives and build a home for them 🤔 choices...

[flat rain]

slugs can power jet packs????

[rustic quest]

Personally I would wait to have automated power shards to do ionized fuel, in the meantime liquid biofuel is still pretty good

[cunning siren]

Yea I did not wait, only have 13 GW though and I'm using it all 🤷 no power to make synthetic shards

[rustic quest]

Well you do need rocket fuel for ionized fuel regardless so might as well build up more power generation

You'll need it to power late game machines

[cunning siren]

Yea, I have a single blender build for drone fuel that I suppose I can build some gens on 🤔

[rustic quest]

If you do heavy oil residue then diluted fuel you'll get a lot of fuel to make into rocket fuel

[cunning siren]

OH yea, that's the good stuff

[rustic quest]

I would prepare a blueprint with generators power poles etc

You'll be placing a lot of them

[cunning siren]

OH, right, yep got one of those

[small pebble]

I feel like this is far from true lol. Smart splitters are life

[shrewd palm]

the better wording i think would be that they could allow smart splitters to have more than 1 thing per output then get rid of programmable splitters and no one would really notice or care

[frail sleet]

programmable splitters just let you build complicated things with less space

[white dawn]

The best feature of Programmables is the nifty-looking skin. :D

Worth the HMF spend. :P

ZFighting

When cannoning high above and looking down I get mass scale terrain flicker as well but I think that's TAA

[sturdy mural]

o hey

terrain flickering reminds me of pushing satisfactory to its limits

update 7

on a laptop with Celeron
4 gigs of RAM

[cedar void]

How did it even run

[sturdy mural]

i was literally running through i think the red forest once

[silk ocean]

I only see it when high in the sky and only when looking almost vertically downwards

[sturdy mural]

and fell through the map

because the COLLISION did not load in

[sturdy mural]

im polish

[silk ocean]

In Poland, games run 175% better on all laptops 😉

[cedar void]

I can gaurantee the devs wernt aiming for celeron use

Dying under map iirc you cant get items back

[sturdy mural]

nah in poland you could run Cyberpunk 2077 on Ultra on one of those transparent Macintoshes

[sturdy mural]

doesn't it spawn at like 0,0
or the last location where you touched the ground like when you jump off

[cedar void]

Ah it might been a long time lol

[sturdy mural]

it stopped with Update8

[silk ocean]

Love CP2077, what a game

[cedar void]

Loool

[sturdy mural]

-# ||HAANK DONT ABBREVIATE CYBERPUNK, HAANK!!!||

[silk ocean]

SOZ!

Love Cyberpunk 2077 and Idris Elba one of my fav actors as well, win win.. better? XD

[sturdy mural]

wait, so you know stuff abt 2077
||why does everyone avoid meeting hanako at embers, im genuinely curious||

[silk ocean]

It's the final kinda "no return" mission isn't it?

Even tho you can do it again

[sturdy mural]

ooh? so its like an Ending starting mission

[silk ocean]

Not 100% I forget, I think that's the finale mission but I might be thinking of a different one

Like many games it's where the box pops up bla bla "This is the point of no return yadda yadda"

[sturdy mural]

fair

[silk ocean]

But I could be thinking of a different mission xD

In Cyberpunk 2077 it just means you're kinda committed for a while, like an hour, but once done there is no real bearing, you're back in the city, do the DLC next or just side missions, and I "think" you can even do the finale again if you want to

The final quest you're looking for is called Nocturne OP55N1, with the objective of "Meet Hanako at Embers"

[sturdy mural]

oo yeah

[river dove]

Hey guys, any tips to get more tickets?

[gritty briar]

Hey sorry to bother yall but could someone take a look at https://discord.com/channels/370472939054956546/932761153703149659

[silk ocean]

Sink more intermediate and advanced products, kill creatures and sink DNA pods

Is that 2nd to last one connected with the tube properly?

Looks like it is powered but amber which usually means it's not connected I think

[river dove]

Nuclear waste after being refined can give u a lot of point to right?

[frail sleet]

Not a good point to effort ratio

[silk ocean]

I sink reprocessed waste but yea I don't think it's great

[steady spindle]

Never finished cyberpunk

[frail sleet]

sinking your overflow alone will get you 1000+ tickets before game end if you either build big or play slow. Otherwise, build a big ticket factory at the end

[steady spindle]

Almsot best it and lost 6hr save

Beat*

[river dove]

Im working in to phase 5 atm

[steady spindle]

Haven’t able to bring myself back to play it

[silk ocean]

6 hours isn't a disaster in a game with 50+ hours of playtime minimum xD

[gritty briar]

Im not sure if it was that or not but I deleted alot of it and I think I double placed entrances

[silk ocean]

That would be a problem too xD

[dim cradle]

hmmm lol I already unlocked geothermal power. wonder if I could just craft what I need for the geothermal gens by hand and skip oil power

[silk ocean]

Geothermal kinda sucks, I doubt you'd want to skip oil

[gritty briar]

So the blueprint i made either has doubled stuff or it glitched when making it

[silk ocean]

It's a memepower

[dim cradle]

Isn't it those nitrogen spots with like 8-9 offshoots

[silk ocean]

Ah right, time to edit it I guess xD

[dim cradle]

or am I thinking of something else

[silk ocean]

Nitrogen is different, geothermal vents are separate

[dim cradle]

Ah they only come in singles

[zenith fractal]

skipping oil will really limit your reliable power

[silk ocean]

They are just single vents that you plop a geothermal generator on

[zenith fractal]

because while geothermal gives power, it varies

unlike every other source

[dim cradle]

I mean geothermal just needs a bit of buffer in batteries

[zenith fractal]

also

geothermal is very limited

in terms of how many MW it can give because it is the most linked to a node, can't ever increase it

[silk ocean]

Geothermal is pathetic in the long run, if you put a generator on every vent in the entire world you get what.... 5 GW if you are lucky, it's barely enough to do anything with

[dim cradle]

As far as power all of my power right now is coming from 4 sloop generators lmao

[zenith fractal]

omg, make a geothermal grid and use that to power the production needed for a large scale oil plant

[dim cradle]

Nah according to the wiki it's 7.1k average

[zenith fractal]

so you can have a lot more power to work with

[silk ocean]

Still, 7.1k is not worth building power all around the world to connect them all up

imo

[dim cradle]

well don't they have those new better power lines now

they weren't around last time I played

but it is a lot of traveling

[silk ocean]

Yep 300m ones, but you still have to go all around the world, up high and low, it's far quicker and easier to just build oil

[dim cradle]

I might just do it for the memes though the memes would be worth it

and I have 30 hard drive so I have bridges everywhere

[silk ocean]

I've put generators on most of them by now but only when I've encountered them, I've never gone out specially to exploit geothermal

[dim cradle]

it's funny because even when I'm done a majority of my power will probably come from the sloops I collected along the way

[zenith fractal]

geothermal while it is free power will never last you. heed our warnings and make a large scale oil power plant. you can even skip regular fuel and maybe go for turbo or even rocket fuel

[dim cradle]

hmm... let me look at the power usage of the base we made in early access when we got to nuclear...

[zenith fractal]

pollute the world

[dim cradle]

need to load that up

god if the train in this thing was real those turns would definitely make it fall off

well the max consumption of this factory is 19172

with like 5 sloops I'd be at 2.5k+7.1k from geo and then the 10% bonus so around 10k

wonder if I could just skip over to nuclear instead

Do the sloop gens increase power by 10% each, or 10% total regardless

[silk ocean]

I personally wouldn't waste sloops on geothermal generators and if you do, keep note of where you put them because they are far more useful elsewhere XD

[dim cradle]

I don't think you can actually put sloops in the generators

I mean the sloop generators

that's a building

[zenith fractal]

sloop augmenters give a 10% to your grid each but not to each other. while it still affects your power if you have multiple they don't stack

[silk ocean]

Yea come to think about it I don't think you can sloop any source machine (miner, oil extractor, geothermal gen, etc)

[dim cradle]

but they count as part of the total power don't they

[zenith fractal]

yeahh

you can only slug em

[silk ocean]

Yep

[sturdy mural]

guys does the Freight wagon is fully loadd/unloaded count EACH single wagon? like will it send it on its way if just 1 is empty

[dim cradle]

although crafting 31 thermal gens by hand is going to be absolute hell

[zenith fractal]

if you wanna ease your pain use the awesome shop to buy the components

but it uses tickets

[dim cradle]

I've been sinking 2 slooped constructors worth of the MAM in there, but only got like 170 tickets I don't think that's gonna last for that

you do need the alien metal for later stuff right? I've got 3 pure sources piped to the main base but just using them for tickets atm

[silk ocean]

There's only about 106 sloops in the entire world, you run out fast, use them carefully xD

[dim cradle]

yeah but you can always just grab them back

[silk ocean]

Especially when things like Manufacturers need 4

Yeah you can, sure

[dim cradle]

wouldn't a manufacturer that's slooped use an obscene amount of power

[silk ocean]

700+ MW ish

Try slooping a particle accelerator... 22 GW

Triple slugged + sloop, peaks around 21.6 GW

[dim cradle]

yeah sloops weren't around when we made that save so I don't have any to test and I doubt we did that tech tree because it didn't exist either

[silk ocean]

Alien Tech tree, yea fairly new

Got the Dimensional Depot?

[dim cradle]

the save's from 3 years ago

it doesn't have anything. In this new one I just started yeah I have the depot going at 120 and I think 3 stacks atm

[silk ocean]

Noice

Depot is possibly the single best thing in the game

[dim cradle]

yeah it's pretty legit

[silk ocean]

It's like Factorio logistics on steroids xD

[dim cradle]

the blueprint thing is nice too

eh nah factorio has those drones and they're absolutely cracked

[silk ocean]

Yeah you can certainly scale up factorio logistics to a way higher level

20,000 logistics bots xD

[dim cradle]

like just put down a few blueprints and it's a mega factory

conveyor belts? Nah they just fly things everywhere

[silk ocean]

xD

[dim cradle]

what I want to see is if I can chain ragdoll launch myself through these sloop gens

[silk ocean]

Augmenters?

[dim cradle]

yeah. If it works I can make funny video and earn tons of internet points

[silk ocean]

I thought they instakill but maybe if you're moving fast enough, not sure, maybe you can survive

[dim cradle]

nope they just ragdoll you

0 damage

[silk ocean]

Ah okay

I've never tried it XD

[dim cradle]

first thing I did was walk straight into the beam

I'm playing solo so I can just reload anyway

[silk ocean]

Mine are in base so if I died not the end of the world, the HUB is 100m away

[dim cradle]

I'm building a bridge as high up as I can and then putting 4 of them in a row to see what happens

[silk ocean]

Not all that much from putting them on the ground I suspect

[dim cradle]

no they launch you pretty far on the ground too

so I'm just wondering...

[silk ocean]

May as well just build a cannon

[dim cradle]

They definitely do boost each other

I hooked up 4 sloops and got a power boost of 800mw by themselves

not hooked up to the rest of the grid yet

so I guess 10 sloop things would basically be making 10 GW by themselves

and then the geothermal would be making like 14k average

clean extradimensional energy?

[frail sleet]

My friend got me to try it. It threw me far enough to go into the void and die x3

[dim cradle]

well yeah the void will definitely kill you lol

where did it put your stuff

[frail sleet]

i play with keep inventory

[dim cradle]

Ah yeah tots fair

think my friend and I did too

[frail sleet]

was fun without it for like first 50hr. After that not so much 😄

[dim cradle]

solo I just reload anyway so idc

[frail sleet]

although i'm currently 430 days without a death

[dim cradle]

were*

lol my dumb coal powered factory is at 5.2GW thanks to these sloops

Oh this is pretty interesting... hmmm

So chained launching doesn't work, they don't seem to build speed

however...

[ivory condor]

chained launching?

[sturdy mural]

dang lucky
im like at 300

[dim cradle]

I was trying to see if multiple of these sloop generators would make me go faster as I got ragdolled through each one

but I guess it slows you down if anything which kind of makes sense, it ejects you opposite to the vector you entered it in

[cunning siren]

Had a single blender rocket fuel build for jetpack and drone stuff in the swamp, needed moar powah so I OC'ed added two more blenders, ~60 GW more power 🤔 kind of crazy how little oil it takes. Using that impure resource well is enough 🤷

[silk ocean]

That seems bugged @dim cradle xD

[dim cradle]

It seems like it makes you ignore damage while it launchers you

outside of being out of bounds

[silk ocean]

Oh no I see you're already high up

[dim cradle]

if only I could land on one of the beans

[silk ocean]

I thought suddenly you are way up for some reason

[dim cradle]

nah I just wanted to see what would happen if you launched off really high with it

[silk ocean]

Point a long cannon vertically, guaranteed death

[dim cradle]

When do you get cannons

[silk ocean]

Hypertubes

[dim cradle]

🤔

I wonder...

[silk ocean]

Tier 4

Hypercannons is basically my primary means of getting around the world, I've got them everywhere xD

or portals but they are late-game

[feral geyser]

you only take damage from the vertical component of your momentum, so slamming into a wall is fine, but slamming into a floor is not

[ebon marten]

not if you use a jellypad or a jetpack

[silk ocean]

I don't think you can arrest the rate of climb with a jetpack

You're goin' up and ain't nothing stopping you XD

If the cannon fires you vertically upwards, you're a passenger until death shall consume you XD

[dawn kelp]

10,000 Mwh's of power is a good buffer for tier 7 to 8?

Battery backup

[silk ocean]

Depends on your factory

[dawn kelp]

Using between 4200 and 4800 mw's right now

[silk ocean]

Oh that's quite low for Tier 8

[dawn kelp]

My build is highly efficient, potential usage is 10Gw, but, many things are either filled up or used slower then they are produced, so theres alot of offline buildings, that serve their function when the lines are running or I'm producing something new.

[silk ocean]

If you're only consuming 5 GW then a 10 GW battery backup seems enough

[dawn kelp]

That would be two hours of power assuming TOTAL power loss, which is practically impossible, but still, right?

[silk ocean]

It would be 2 hours yeah if they are fully charged

[dawn kelp]

They will be in a few hours, just got built. Reminds me, I've got another radar tower to put up.

[silk ocean]

Technically the batteries are over time, so if it's 10 GWh, then 2 hours @ 5 GW draw

[dawn kelp]

Mkay, and it prolly wont draw anywhere near the full amount as I build up a little closer to my curren power limit.

My coal power plant and fuel powered gens are pretty stable.

[silk ocean]

Each battery is 100 MWh, so I'm assuming you have 100 batteries?

[flint grail]

What's the name of the repices that use resin for plastic and rubber?

[dawn kelp]

Yesssir

[zenith fractal]

residual?

yeah

it's the residual recipes that use resin

[dawn kelp]

Got tired of having a pathetic 20 batteries and 20 bio generators for backup. So I built a building with two floors. One floor is for rows of 11 biogenerators. The second floor is 80 batteries.

[silk ocean]

As long as your powergen always gets priority on resources then no reason it should ever go offline, apart from some mistake or "disaster" xD

[dawn kelp]

More worried about going slightly over the limit temporarily right now. :3

Should have made LOTS of room for that ^ ^

[silk ocean]

It's okay to go over the limit when you have energy storage

Won't trip or anything, as long as there is charge in them

[dawn kelp]

I know but as I build into nitrogen and sulfuric acid products, my power consumption will go up, and I will need a buffer to build more power production. That's what the 10gw is for

[flint grail]

That's an alt, right?

[zenith fractal]

no

[silk ocean]

Another tip is that you can build a separate building of batteries, connected via a switch. Charge them up and then disconnect the switch. Now you have an emergency battery supply that you can turn on in the event of a power disaster

[zenith fractal]

you get it with the default oil production I think

only plastic and rubber making alt is the recycled recipes

[flint grail]

Oh, derp

[silk ocean]

It naturally goes up yep 🙂

[dawn kelp]

Yepper, so I'm just making a safety net so I can go quite a bit over, for a while, before I'm finally forced to rebuild the fuel > turbo fuel > rocket fuel supply chain 😛

I do love how fuel generators will now automatically switch to whatever fluid were burning now, they didnt used to do that, did that? I thought a few years ago you have to turn them off and back on or something.

[silk ocean]

Honestly can't remember but I guess now they will just burn whatever is in their internal buffer and then switch to the fuel being supplied yea

[dawn kelp]

Yeah, that's nice, so much easier to switch a bank over to the new fuel

Just let the run dry and start fresh on the new stuff after purging the line and hooking it up

[silk ocean]

Yea, similar with coal generators, if they are burning coal and you want to switch them to compacted coal for example, they'll burn the coal and then switch over

[dawn kelp]

Mmmm, question on that, does compacted coal take longer to burn?

[silk ocean]

Think so yea, not sure the numbers but it lasts longer

[versed mesa]

Am having a look at this guys video https://youtu.be/vBcT17-TqjM?si=3QNIiUd358n9XE1P

[dawn kelp]

Hmmm, I might be switching over to compacted myself then

Burning thru 5 resource points worth of coal right now, 2 of them maxed out on overdrive

[silk ocean]

From the wiki: While it does not directly generate more power than regular Coal when burned, the burn time is more than doubled (from 4 seconds to 8.4 seconds)

[dawn kelp]

4.4 second increase, nice, that's . . . .62% increase about

[silk ocean]

It's good yea, needs sulphur (or byproduct from other recipes from refineries etc)

[dawn kelp]

I got plenty of sulfur, tapped a pure vein

Can also always OD that thing

[silk ocean]

You get a load of it with Turbofuel refining

But tbh once you are doing Turbofuel then coal generation is basically worthless

Yep

[dawn kelp]

Right? I've got 4 plants at 250% production, and they are running 16 generators with no problems

TF is filling up slowly

Just where you want it

[dense violet]

It effectively just turns sulfur to more coal

It’s generally not very convenient

[dawn kelp]

Megacoal!

[dense violet]

Not many spots with both together

[dawn kelp]

That's fair

[dense violet]

And you’ll often want 4 whole coal nodes for power early on

[dawn kelp]

But, I do long range belt shipping, so it's not a big issue for me.

[dense violet]

Oh yeah you do you

F you’re in the grassy field though to the north is a perfect coal power spot

[dawn kelp]

I always start with one, in the valley, and then go to the grotto north of it, unlock two more and put down 10-15 power plants in the lagoon

I am XD

Yes, I have 12 coal power plants running in that little water hole north of the landing spot

I could easily add another 10 now that I think about it

[dense violet]

I just oc those 4 nodes and wind up with 64 pretty quick. Lasts me till tier 7

[dawn kelp]

Smart

[dense violet]

You can do that as soon as you get mk3 belts

[silk ocean]

Only reason I haven't torn down my coal plants is because I don't need that Coal but when I do, adios Coal Gen xD

[versed mesa]

Kibitz has tons of pipes set up

[silk ocean]

Kibitz does some big builds

[versed mesa]

Yeah he does

They are insane

[silk ocean]

xD

[versed mesa]

Specially all the pipes he has

[silk ocean]

Crazy amounts yea

[versed mesa]

Mind blown

@silk ocean in that video I shared you will see the amount of pipes he has and he adds more lol

[silk ocean]

Yep, around 31 minutes in - he's blueprinting vast amounts of plumbing lol

[lone widget]

my pc keeps crashing so i thought id hang out here for a bit. have seen all of kibitz videos pretty crazy stuff. i posted a difrent guy in off topic as i was not sure where to share but its pretty crazy

what kibitz never does that i have seen is water towers. with the 1.1 update its a game changer just to make your pipe tall near the waterpump

[silk ocean]

Why PC crashing?

[lone widget]

no idea driving me nuts

[silk ocean]

Like BSOD crashing?

[lone widget]

think its ram related but it powers off like an outage so no logs

[silk ocean]

Sure it's not the PSU

[lone widget]

what is BSOD

[silk ocean]

Bluescreen (of Death)

[lone widget]

none of that just power off like you unplugged it. if its the psu id be surprised they tend to be pretty good evga 1000w platinum

[silk ocean]

That sounds very suspiciously like PSU to me if all power is literally being hard killed, if it's not even soft-off

[versed mesa]

Recently I found out you can make colours more brighter almost like bright light

[lone widget]

yeah but when i was getting errors it was memory related. id not rule anything out but it all started when i opened this game

[silk ocean]

I've had an issue in Satis where suddenly the screens go blank, fans ramp to like 100%, system is basically in a state of being semi-dead but still powered on - turned out to be nvidia drivers

[rustic pier]

wewt last milestone!

[versed mesa]

My pc that I built my self it lasted so long and it stopped booting up and it comes up error code on board and apparently its like USB some sort of error witch is off before it happened I updated my pc windows i did restart and thats when the problem occurred
