satisfactory

[zenith pecan]

Rocket fuel does offer a decent return.

[shrewd palm]

the thing is i want to make 12000 aluminum ingots again

[rustic quest]

Ahh I see

[shrewd palm]

probably just gonna be a quick and dirty 1-200GW

i'd want to use up all the stuff in the blue crater for it

[rustic quest]

yeah that's my plan as well for this playthrough

[versed mesa]

Don't talks to me about theys lol

[rustic quest]

blue crater rocket fuel and power generation only, beach plastic and everything else related to oil

[zenith pecan]

Fair dues, just build what you need, build the same again when you want to expand 🙂

[rustic quest]

in my first play I basically had blue crater and beach swapped and it wasn't ideal

[shrewd palm]

better to get more than i'll need done all in one go i think

saves time in the future that could be spent doing stuff i want to do

[versed mesa]

Apparently Exp patch was ment to drop to public branch

Ive not seen it yet

[rustic quest]

Maybe the azure apocalypse delayed it?

[cloud lantern]

I'm trying to setup a smart splitter for coal but coal isn't showing up in my smart splitter options. When my trucks run past, they drop off items into the fuel truck station (copper ore) but it isn't letting me filter to pass coal to the other stations nearby. Only other resources:
#screenshots message

[slender quest]

Did you try to use this search field?

[cloud lantern]

I did, I put the screenies of what I see in the link to screenshots.

Coal doesn't show up.

[slender quest]

Probably a bug. Try to bypass it by filtering out anything that is not coal.

I'd check bug tracker, but not much time right now. I see some users having the same issue here on Discord.

[rustic quest]

Try rebuilding the smart splitter and/or reloading the game

[cloud lantern]

Hmm... okay. I don't have programmable yet so i'll make two outputs for copper/iron ores and then the third for the coal to feed. Thanks

[rustic quest]

Also you have unlocked coal right?

[cloud lantern]

On/off again, idk why I didn't think of it. 🙁

YTep, power plant not built yet but i have it unlocked.

[slender quest]

I forgot which milestone unlocks Coal. This might be the issue - trucks and smart split unlocked before Coal. Filters only know about resources you unlocked.

Checked the milestones on wiki, it's very easy to unlock transport before coal power, actually... And coal becomes "known" after you unlock power.

[undone moss]

does it happen to anyone else where when u have a paint finish selected it doesnt allow u to deselect it?

[quiet summit]

@north cloud inappropriate screens in #screenshots !!

[marsh inlet]

is there some where for bugreports

[restive agate]

im making a scalable modular iron factory to process my basic iron needs like plates screws and such, i just dont know at what point to stop so fat its plates, rods, screws and reinforced plates but im contemplating if i should also do rotors and modular frames

[shrewd palm]

Rotors maybe modular frames no

The handful you make at the start should be enough for almost the entire save

For building anyways, for parts you’ll need a lot of both but tbh it’s easier just to do them on site

[restive agate]

i was planning on making it like a mega iron factory for the essentials

[visual harness]

what does the warning sign typically mean on drone ports? the drone has red outlines, but I don't know what the issue is

[granite ether]

can anybody show me good builds with metal beams?

[fluid marten]

Hey I got a stupid question so just bear with me. I am on the last tier and I am looking at the online calculator and then the thought hit me while I am looking at the loop for recycled rubber and plastic recipes. Do I need to produce that in the same factory or can I just give the factory a start up amount and let it work itself out?

[versed mesa]

Witch nudging you can't do this while using xbox controller on windows

Ive not seen how to even

[dense violet]

generally the simplest solution is to use some of the resin to make residual rubber and use that as the initial feed stock

I recommend making a seperate production line for both the plastic and rubber though.
makes it easier to plan out and you don't need to keep entwining everything

[fluid marten]

I know it is recommended, but I also think context matters here. Is it possible?

[versed mesa]

Thats when it comes to keyboard and mouse your not limited like you are with a controller

[dense violet]

sure? you can have a looped feed stock if you really want.

[visual harness]

so what causes my drones to get highlighted red? they seem to be working as intended

[dense violet]

visual glitch

[shrewd palm]

its a glitch that seems to happen when you repaint drones

ive heard of it happening to trains too

[visual harness]

oh, I have indeed painted them

[dense violet]

just save and reload

[sturdy mural]

dang i just found out i have some crates at 0,0

• 6 cable
• 1 cable
• like 20K of concrete, 2 slops, 8 iron plates, 323 limestone

[sturdy mural]

i like the phase 4 parts

• ||Assembly Director - Reuse ACUs and add a supercomputer :3||
• || MFG - reuse Frameworks add some electromagnetic rods :3||
• ||Thermal Rockets - hell on earth, reuse modular engine, and cram turbo motors, cooling systems, and fused frames to them||
• ||Nuclear pasta - cram some copper into fused frames with radios :3||

[dawn kelp]

I gotta think that almost 15 Gw's of power is pretty significant even for late stage factory. I have not even started on the last 3 phase 5 products yet either, I'm just upgrading everything with artificial power shards and level 6 'belts'

[dawn kelp]

This is not incorrect.

[dense violet]

well you can finish phase 5 and basically nothing if make a low enough ppm

last game I finished phase 5 with about 27gw but it was a fairly smal lset up

[dawn kelp]

I would say nuclear pasta is rough because of all the extra copper you need suddenly

[dense violet]

just find a node and you're good. Simplest part of it

[sturdy mural]

iirc pure copper node can give you max 25 pasta /min??

5k copper powder for that
30k ingots
12k copper + 8k water

my bad, it's 2.5 pasta not 25

[dawn kelp]

I was gonna say, 25 pasta, haha, that's alot per minute

[sturdy mural]

10 pure / 20 normal / 40 impure nodes

[feral geyser]

That's a lotta copper

[dawn kelp]

I sadly do not have close access to a pure one, but I've got four impure, and one normal tapped, that seems to be enough to keep two particle accelerators going most of the time

[feral geyser]

4 impure = 1 pure, so no issue there

Just a bit of extra logistics 😭

[dawn kelp]

So I've basically got 1 pure and 1 normal

[feral geyser]

Yeee

[dawn kelp]

That pumps out a fair amount of copper, especially overclocked

I just finished upgrading crucial spots to miner mark 3

Got lots of coal now

[sturdy mural]

oh yeah.

i have to rebuild everything soon

because i still use all mk2 miners

[dawn kelp]

I'm currently also rebuilding for that

Love the mark 6 'belts'

[feral geyser]

They color very well

[dawn kelp]

A few belt replacements and my setups are running almost twice as fast

I have yet to color anything, I will worry about cosmetics when the factory is complete, maybe

[fervent dust]

hi folks, is this channel appropriate for getting game advice?

[dawn kelp]

It's a good start, I think

[fervent dust]

noice. i'm just looking to hear what players do in phase 2. i got a couple of things set up already, but i'm unsure how to actually begin to manufacturing the elevator components.

[lucid temple]

I automate modular frames because handcrafting is annoying, but really not needed. I'm also extra and automate everything that isnt needed

I'm still new though so its fun lol

[dawn kelp]

I always need more screws faster

[lucid temple]

I make more screws then anything else at the moment and its not enough. Its never enough

[dawn kelp]

No, it'll never be enough lol

[lucid temple]

Actually, thats a lie. I make rods just as fast, its not enough

Rods and screws are my bottlenecks

I make more than enough reinforced iron plates thankfully

[dawn kelp]

I'm currently pumping out something like 1000 screws per minute, and I need more

[lucid temple]

Is there a quick way to check that?

I'm still in phase 2, currently working on automating versatile frameworks lol

[restive agate]

well im trying to decide if i want to make mod frames at my iron factory or make them in other factories when needed for heavy mod frames and such

[lucid temple]

I just have everything in 1 factory

I am a weird person

[dawn kelp]

I use a central factory, no such issues :3

[lucid temple]

I have caterium from 1500m going into my factory to then be crafted into stuff, too lazy to walk

[dense violet]

juse over flowing spare parts or hand feeding containers to machines is fine

[restive agate]

im going more for a modular system i think connecting railways and roads to transfer items between factories is cool

[lucid temple]

I'm currently making 320 screws a minute and using 350 lol

[dense violet]

automate everything (except maybe space parts) and learn. The tiers are basically a tutorial

[dawn kelp]

Wait til you hit heavy modular frames

[lucid temple]

I'm about to finish every milestone for phase 2 and I haven't even started automating the things required to start phase 3. I'm cooked lol

[dense violet]

better start

[lucid temple]

I'm starting to run low on power, thats gonna be my next fix

[dawn kelp]

My factory has 3 floors and a basement . . .

[fervent dust]

thank you so much, btw!

i was also thinking of making one huge building to locate all my factories in for convenience. is that a good idea for this stage of the game or is it a bit too early?

[lucid temple]

Working on the first item right now, Versatile frameworks

[dawn kelp]

I do a central factory right from the start

[lucid temple]

Once I get the plating, and the frameworks automated, I will unlock the milestone for the last item and automate that

[dense violet]

try it.

there's basically no single way of doing things in the game and most of doing things well is learning the basics of belt and machine layouts

[dense violet]

essentially just expect that every time yo ubuild a system you'll think of 10 different things that could be better

[lucid temple]

Tbh, the way I saw it when I first started was you can build literally however you want, and progress at your own pace and how you want too

I like everything in 1 spot but I've noticed alot of people like building several factories

[dawn kelp]

Yes you can

[fervent dust]

where do you typically place your hub in regards to it?

[dawn kelp]

In the large field at the grasslands landing

LOTS of room there

[dense violet]

wherever. you can move it as much as you like
you could even just take it out to do the milestones and dismantle it every time

[lucid temple]

When I run out of room I just build 2 4m ramps and start again 😂

[dawn kelp]

My floors are big enough for manufacturers and some of them are big enough for refineries

[dense violet]

buy some ladders

[fervent dust]

oh i've been hunting for alternate recipes and ladders came extremely in handy

[lucid temple]

I havent even looked into the awesome shop stuff yet. I wonder whats all there and if its a nice addition

[fervent dust]

thanks btw guys! 💜

[dense violet]

you'll find exploration much easier when you research mam stuff like blade runners, medical inhalers, guns

plus jetpack/parachute and zip line

zip lines are so useful

[lucid temple]

Oh hey i just unlocked those not long ago

[dense violet]

very veyr useful for exploration 🙂

[lucid temple]

I finally began the caterium stuff. Mk 2 poles were a LIFE SAVER.

[fervent dust]

i have the blade runners and medical inhalers. the taser sword and the rod gun is what i mainly use, i just need to get better i think

[dawn kelp]

The rifle is even better then the rod gun

[dense violet]

ehhhh.... personally I would avoid those. More cable slots mostly means worse cable management and spider webs everywhere

[lucid temple]

I only use them when I have 6 machines placed in a row

[dawn kelp]

I almost never need more then 4 connections, but the type two power poles can be handy when you do

[fervent dust]

i hope so. i managed to research explosive rods and the rifle with nothing but the loot around hard drive crash sites 😭

[dense violet]

even then. 1 socket per machine is very convenient and keeps things tidy

[fervent dust]

i'm sweating to not waste ammo

[dawn kelp]

Ammo is easy to make

[lucid temple]

Yeah I don't except for the rod and screw mini-factories I have need several more

[fervent dust]

oh i meant that i don't actually have the technology to properly supply myself, i just gathered the scrap and used it for research

[dawn kelp]

ah

[fervent dust]

like, smokeless powder

[dawn kelp]

It's fairly simple to get up to making auto ammo

[fervent dust]

i don't even have oil tech yet 😭

[dawn kelp]

Ah

[lucid temple]

Oh is that tech and not a milestone 😭

im running out of coal bruh lol

[dawn kelp]

The lagoon to the north of the grassy landing has four coal spots, one you need to blow up stone to access

[lucid temple]

Well I have a spot with 4 coal spots but its only for power. I'm running 3 generators off 1 spot near me, but also using that coal for steel stuff

Once I add more generators over at my other spot, I could do away with generators on this spot and have enough coal for it

[fervent dust]

it feels kind of horrifying yet also compelling to dismantle my old factories

it's for the best though, i have better tech than when i built them

[dense violet]

you often want to use all 4 nodes for power. over clock the miners

[fervent dust]

this game is something, lemme just say

[lucid temple]

Oh yeah thats the plan, right now the issue there is water. I'm running 4 extractors and 9 generators, and its not enough water. Do those need to be overclocked to run multiple generators?

[dawn kelp]

I'm running off 34 coal generators and 22 gas generators right now, all oc'ed

[fervent dust]

guys, i have a question. what's a quick way of deleting the trash in my inventory?

[dawn kelp]

drag it to the trashcan at the bottom

but it's gone forever

[fervent dust]

yeah, but like what about the entire inventory instead of one item at a time?

[dawn kelp]

build a storage box and dump it all into it

[fervent dust]

and forget about it lol?

[dawn kelp]

what are you in the middle of nowhere?

It'll stay put til you come back for it

[lucid temple]

i just have random personal chest everywhere of junk ill. never need

[dawn kelp]

I'd hate that, too many markers on my hud

[fervent dust]

littering smh

jk

i guess i can build a truck and

put the loot inside it and

drive it into the void

actually that's a bad idea.

[lucid temple]

is there any way to pull out of a miner faster bro, im using mk 3 belts and mk 2 miners and the coal miner stays at 100 despite my machines not getting enough coal. would overclocking the miners even help?

my entire steel mini-factory is struggling because of coal

[dawn kelp]

overclocking would increase the output

also increase power consumption

[restive agate]

gotta find more nodes

[lucid temple]

im fine with using more power, but i need more coal to be taken from it

its just sitting at 100 ore in it without being overclocked so im assuming its just not pulling out fast enough

[dawn kelp]

Then overclock it

[dense violet]

you are limited by your belt speed of course

[lucid temple]

ah rip, mk 3 belts isnt enough to keep this machine running 😭

[dawn kelp]

What's the parts per minute of your belt?

[dense violet]

better plan around 270 pm

[lucid temple]

270

[dawn kelp]

let me guess, the miners putting out 300 per minute

overclocking wont help there, that's a belt bottleneck

you need a better belt

[lucid temple]

Idk when I get mk4

[dense violet]

soon enough

[lucid temple]

Didnt even know that was a thing

[dawn kelp]

Look ahead, it's not far

It goes up to mark 6 friend

[dense violet]

for almost all the game your miners will be belt limited though

[lucid temple]

Oh my god lol

[lucid temple]

Yeah thats understandable, I'll have to plan better.

[south sinew]

@nocturne nebula both of those alt recipes are not bad

[dense violet]

@nocturne nebula ?? both are very useful recipes? Like, all recipes give you more options and are useful, but these are solid generalist recipes that can be used in lots of places

[weary stream]

if i wanted to do like a satellite setup and transport stuff between factories
how should i set up my train lines?

i made a blueprint thats 3 wide and robust
and i was planning to use that and then have smaller train lines come off that

but now im wondering where i should set up the main mega highway

[lapis tulip]

How am I supposed to stop the game from unlinking random belt lines going into splitters and lifts? I get that its finicky to finally get them connected, but it's really annoying having to go back hours after they've been working properly, only to see that they've suddenly stopped working :(

[weary stream]

lowk ive never had that happen idk

[lapis tulip]

I really like this game but the connections are fighting against me :( Connections that worked for hours, but then broke, suddenly don't want to connect to eachother afterwards when I go to fix it. I don't know what I'm doing wrong 😭

[odd remnant]

I made a train station and for some reason the train is not picking up the items I place. What am I doing wrong

To transport *

[lapis tulip]

Train workers are on strike 😔

[late void]

Are you getting incompatible items trying to feed into the machine causing backups ? or is it literally disconnected

[weary stream]

make sure your settings are correct trains can be really finnicky
they have to be set to pick up/drop off

[odd remnant]

Ohh okay yeah I don’t have that set up

That explains it

[odd remnant]

😭😭

[weary stream]

ohhhh yeah i had this with one of my factories 100% check this
i had a sushi belt that kept backing up since i forgot to put an overflow option on my smart splitters

[odd remnant]

Now I know why my train is not picking up

[lapis tulip]

Literally disconnected. Like yesterday I had steel ingots feeding into an assembler through a lift for steel pipes, and I was trying to find out why my production has stopped and found out the same lift has stopped lifting items up

After removing the lift and re-placing it, it's working again. but... why?

[late void]

Huh that’s interesting i looked up “Lift disconnect” and ive seen this mentioned a few times it might be an actual issue

[lapis tulip]

Probably, but I don't know how to reproduce it :(( If I reported it, the only steps I could give are "1) Make a lift. 2) Wait for a random amount of time" 😭

I do understand that it's probably not easy to make machines connect to eachother in 3d space like this, but I'm not sure why machines that were already connected suddenly disconnect

It's not a huge deal at the end of the day but yeah. Bizarre

[late void]

Yeah sadly that sounds like an actual issue hopefully it’s fixed

[versed mesa]

Who know about serting up trains timetable

[lapis tulip]

oh god that reminds me I haven't even touched Satisfactory trains yet

I had a bad enough time figuring out how Factorio's train system works

[versed mesa]

am trying to set it up so when it comes to unload not to leave until the barrels have fully unloaded

[late void]

If you want an extra challenge try doing underground train system

[late void]

it’s a setting or should be

“do not leave until fully loaded or unloaded”

iirc it’s like a setting bar next to your route and you click into it gives you options on what you wanna unload / load and if you wanna have it fill fully

[versed mesa]

Thats the thing ive done that but its not working so just wondering if ive done it correctly

@late void let me take couple screenshots and share

[dense violet]

plan where you want your satellite hubs while thinking about the pathing

[late void]

Are all your platforms set to wait? or only one

[versed mesa]

At one location theres 2 platforms at either end and same with 2nd location but when liading ive only added one station and unloading coming back ive done the same

@late void check out screen shots am about to share

[shut grove]

How do yall clip outlets into foundations and then wire them to machines? After I blueprint a foundation with outlets.. the wire hologram wont ever attach to the outlet, I have to unbuild the foundation and attach the wire then rebuild the foundation

[rose saffron]

got a slow trickle of 5 versatile framework per minute

[versed mesa]

@late void sent

Maybe it will work if i remove those 15 seconds on both ?

[late void]

Try making it a bit longer

[versed mesa]

If this dont work ill do what you say but how much longer exactly?

[late void]

Not much maybe 5-10 seconds at most

Enough to see it max out without wasting time if it works

[versed mesa]

But long would be more than 15 seconds because it was currently at 15 but ive made the boxes with no numbers just blank to test it

[late void]

Hmm well i hope that works

[versed mesa]

Nope it did not

Maybe i need to make it like 10 minutes

For unloading station

[odd remnant]

When I put automated trains and when it tries to go into the secondary station it says it can’t be reached

I feel like I’m doing it wrong 😑

[dense violet]

probalby something wrong with station layout or with your rail

[odd remnant]

Probably how can I tell

[dense violet]

you could try trouble shooting it in #math-and-meta or make a #1038092680493801533 with overhead images of your stations, and of your rail around them while holding a signal to show your colour blocks

[odd remnant]

That could be possible or a lot of work

Idk what I’m doing wrong it’s semi connected

[versed mesa]

@late void its possible its mite of worked it out but we will see

[lucid temple]

I get like 3 rn and im waiting for all 1000 i need lol

[late void]

Hmm well i hope you get it working man

[dense violet]

it's generally hard to give a solution w/o images sorry

[lucid temple]

Not making enough coal for enough steel beams

[odd remnant]

I will post and tag you in it

[versed mesa]

Me to if I dont hopefully another time

[versed mesa]

Bad Coal Deposit lol

[lucid temple]

I got 1 miner mk2 providing for 4 coal generators, and 4 foundries. The main issue is just the belt speed though. Limited by that, the miner is fine

[versed mesa]

I am on about the Coal mine spot what rarity is it you got impure normal and pure

[lucid temple]

Pure

[versed mesa]

And do you have the coal blocked up on the belts moving slow ?

[lucid temple]

I don't think so. Theyre moving just as fast as everything else

[odd remnant]

@dense violet I tagged you in it

[lucid temple]

Oh I found the problem I think... theres a strip of mk2 belts still for no reason

[versed mesa]

Yeah but what am trying to say is hiw fast is the coal moving can you see alot of the coal on the belts but nit going as quick ?

@lucid temple also us your miner over clocked ?

[lucid temple]

Okay yeah the 5 conveyors that were mk 2 caused it all. I need to overclock the miner now

[lucid temple]

Wasnt overclocked before because it wasnt needed. It stayed full so when overclocking wasnt gonna help

[versed mesa]

Yeah I'd defo get miner overclocked

[lucid temple]

Eh nvm its filling back up, I need to check all my belts in my factory and make sure its all using mk3

[versed mesa]

Ok

[lucid temple]

Hmm the machines are filling up with coal with no problem now. 5 conveyors really caused all that mess

[versed mesa]

@late void nah its not setting up how I want it abd not sure why I believe ive done everything correctly I know for one i dont think time is even setting because when ive changed it and saved it and go back in it still shows 15 seconds

[versed mesa]

How many belts was it ?

[lucid temple]

Just 5

[versed mesa]

Not bad

[whole drum]

I run into this all the time in the early game because I forget to update my hotkeys. Once you can reliable sustain the cost of using a new tier of belts, update the hotkey to reflect it on the conveyers too.

Usually my hotkeys are:

1. Power pole
2. Power connection
3. Belt
4. Splitter
5. Merger
6. Conveyer
7. Ladder
8. Storage container
9. 4m wall segment
10. 1m foundation

This means that I have to pay attention when I start regularly using higher tiers on 1, 3, and 6.

I have a separate page for pipe hotkeys, ofc

[silk ocean]

I use about 6 bars depending on the context

[whole drum]

I should use more, but I hate flipping between them

[silk ocean]

Alt+Mouse Wheel

[whole drum]

I know

[lucid temple]

I can sustain mk3 easily. But I'm lazy and dont change the hotkey and its messing with me😂

It's just a waiting game for me now. All milestones done and waiting on automation for next phase

[silk ocean]

Main general base building bar, plumbing, foundations, hypertubes, rail building, hybrid rail/foundation bars xD

[whole drum]

Good time to start pre-building infrastructure for components you'll need more of in next phase

[silk ocean]

7th bar I guess is power systems but I rarely use that one

[whole drum]

If nothing else, set up another power station

[fierce quartz]

Or just set up a small factory to throw things into the sink

[lucid temple]

True. I'm entering Phase 3, hoping its alot of content lol

[silk ocean]

Content assured xD

Wait for Phase 4 and 5 😈

[warm pendant]

are screws important in mid to late games? i took the alt screws and helps me now to craft em going to phase 3 in 1hr

[dense violet]

depends on which recipes you use
but you don't use them to build objects in the wild so really don't want to build a screw factory

just make the screws right before they are consumed

[zenith fractal]

phase 3 is the bliss zone before phase 4

[warm pendant]

yeah i make screws on factories that need reinforced plates

[dense violet]

yeah bolted plate + bolted frame can be real useful, especially with steel screws

[lucid temple]

Oh god lol dont scare me😂

[lucid temple]

That makes me happy

[warm pendant]

i took my time prepping for phase 3 building roads for easy transport since i spawn in rocky desert

[spark sky]

I don't know on this one. It would seem that it could be useable this way, the game doesn't prevent me from placing these here, so apparently the hit boxes don't interfere, but I know I wouldn't be able to place this in another blueprint designer with it sticking up this way (though I could load it into a blueprint designer - I've had that situation before with walls at the edge of the blueprint designer). #screenshots message

[dense violet]

if it works it works

do you mean it won't load into another bp machine?

[spark sky]

Heh. Well, you should have seen it when I put in the vertical load balancers. What I removed was the vertical lifts with connected splitters at the top, sticking way above the blueprint designer.

@dense violet It will load into another BP designer, but you can't paste the saved blueprint into another BP designer.

[turbid merlin]

I thought screws were to be avoided at all costs later in the game

[dense violet]

screws are very easy to manage with basic layouts

[spark sky]

??? I've never gotten there, but if you've got all the recipes you can research from hard drives in the MAM, and you've got a part that doesn't have an alternate recipe that leaves out screws, then I guess you need screws.

[dense violet]

people just have early screw trauma because they didn't know how to manage layouts to make a mess of it

I hated screws for a long time myself xD

[spark sky]

Funny, I never looked at them that way. For one part I had to make for Phase 1, I think I needed 16,000 screws. I made most of them by hand.

(But then, I wasn't sitting there watching them get made, I hit <Space> and went to watch YouTube videos.)

[turbid merlin]

I’ve got stitched reinforced plates cause of all the talk I’ve seen online

Granted. I’m using cast screws cause it’s stupid not to

[dense violet]

stitched can be very convenient 🙂

Steel screw is an excellent choice for mass screw production, but if you don't have steel nearby, stitched is nice. Especially with iron wire

[spark sky]

What I noted, and I think that's why I opted to do them by hand, was that it takes longer to make a given ammount of screws in a single line of machines than it does to make them by hand.

Now, if you've got multiple machines making the screws, that's another story.

Or, if your machines are Somerslooped.

[turbid merlin]

I’m using normal wire. 240 iron ore/min and like 30 or so copper. Can’t remember the ratio

[dense violet]

all viable options 🙂
iron wire is just super useful and flexible since it can cut out a resource time from a production line

[spark sky]

So, do you use Iron Wire instead of Copper Wire and Quickwire?

[dense violet]

quite often. Iron is veyr abundant

I some times use Fused Wire too

Fused Wire is Copper + Caterium

but I'll also make the Copper ingots with Iron xD

so it's iron+copper+caterium wire in the end

[spark sky]

Hm.

[dense violet]

mind you this is for like, final factories when everything is unlocked.

basically sandbox mode

[spark sky]

Well, considering where I'm at in the game, and how few hard drives I've collected, I've got a long way to go to finding those recipes.

[dense violet]

I really recommend unlocking all the recipes 🙂 they just give you options

but before 'sandbox mode' , I'll often use iron wire just for convenience.

I'm not opposed to copper wire but it just works out I can find other uses for hte copper

[turbid merlin]

I’m 100% using solid steel alt when I get to phase 2

[dense violet]

its good.
Coke Steel is solid too

[turbid merlin]

Heh. Copper powder go brrr

[spark sky]

Yeah, I'm sure, but I'm stuck on redesigning my biomass power plant, just because. Phase 2 is waiting for me, but I want to get this blueprint to work and put it in my game. It may not make sense, but it's kind of an "I did use this kind of power, and it's there if I build one too many machines" kind of thing.

[turbid merlin]

Ehhh, phase 2 is coal. So I’d have pushed that instead

Would’ve been better

Like yes. I’ll also have to redo my biomass gens. Cause I’m going big this time

[spark sky]

Oh, I've got coal and geothermal (thanks to the doggos giving me the materials for the research).

[turbid merlin]

Oh nice

[spark sky]

I have a nice blueprint set for coal power plants stacked 4-high.

You have to place the top two power plants and connect them, but otherwise the floors and most of the logistics are there already.

And I have markers for where to place the coal generators, so it's an easy build.

The hard part is connecting up the water.

[sage quail]

6 more days and I buy satisfactory on PS5 Pro :-3

[spark sky]

Well, that should be fun. I'm hoping to get my desk done while I'm on vacation so I can unbox my PS5 (first gen, not Pro).

I bought a mouse and keyboard along with a USB hub that attaches to the front of the PS5 so I can connect them all to the PS5.

[flint grail]

Can someone explain to me how one part of my train line has power while the other part doesn't?

[silk ocean]

Not connected?

Probably a join somewhere that isn't actually joined

Try driving it

[warm pendant]

i finally got nobelisk

i can destroy this annoying stone structure

[silk ocean]

Yep 🙂

[spark sky]

Annoying? Are you talking about a gas pillar or the cap on a resource node?

[warm pendant]

the gas pillar

it does dmg and some purple slugs are on that area with gas

[spark sky]

Ah yes, those are annoying. Also some plants that expand vertically and put out poison spores, nobelisks work on them, too.

[warm pendant]

even great lol

i though i need nobelisk that has fire to destroy those plants

[flint grail]

Nope, everything is connected

The power just randomly shut off while I was AFK, yet no connections were changed

[silk ocean]

Can't immediately explain that

[spark sky]

I don't think there is a fire nobelisk.

[silk ocean]

Figure out where the power stops and rebuild that area of track is the only thing I can suggest

[spark sky]

Anyway, I just looked at the time, I should go to bed and work on this power plant in the morning.

[flint grail]

I think I found it, I just crashed in an area. Access violation

[silk ocean]

Hmm, bit sus xD

[shy zenith]

how come my character isn't loading my turbo rifle ammo into my rifle?

[silk ocean]

Think you need to specify the ammo type

[shy zenith]

thanks

[silk ocean]

Inventory -> Cog on the weap

[versed mesa]

Why dont awesome sink accepts Uranium waste for ?

[silk ocean]

or hold R and select the ammo

[zenith fractal]

because waste is supposed to be ssomething you HAVE to deal with properly

basically it is to make nuclear energy harder to build

[shy zenith]

is turbo rifle ammo even better than normal?

[versed mesa]

Damn

[silk ocean]

Yep I would say so

[zenith fractal]

to deal with uranium nuclear waste, turn it into plutonium fuel rods which can be sinked. or you can also use the plutonium fuel rods for reactors for plutonium waste which can be turned into ficsonium fuel which doesn't have a waste

[shy zenith]

its nice to machine gun big enemies, but normal ammo is 5 dmg vs 4

[versed mesa]

@zenith fractal ive only found out the plants create waste lol

[zenith fractal]

yeah

[silk ocean]

Turbo ammo has a lot of recoil but very effective close range

You can quickly unload the clip into a big hog or spider

Although when it comes to spiders there is only one thing to do -> Nuke Nobelisks xD

[versed mesa]

@zenith fractal my temp 4 plants i came check on befir I actually create its own factory on water to find out its blocked up 500 each waste

[flint grail]

It was a mod, just deleted the buildings in save editor and loaded back in

[zenith fractal]

yup it happens, you have to deal with it or just make storage containers to buy time

[silk ocean]

Ah right, it's always mods xD

[versed mesa]

Thanks

Ive decided to make blueprint t
Which will help build my plant then I can rebuild it anytime

[flint grail]

Would hate to have to roll back as the autosaves got saved over, I'm pretty sure

[silk ocean]

mhm yea

[hard ivy]

Game balance

[silk ocean]

Reprocess it then you can sink if you want to

[versed mesa]

I think theres a mod that allows awesome sink to accept the waste

Yeah i dont think there is one just looked

Nvm

[hard ivy]

If someone bothered to make it, it exists. It should be a very simple mod to make

[reef basin]

Just store it

[silk ocean]

Reprocess it and then it can run indefinitely, storing isn't an infinite solution

It's not that hard to reprocess uranium waste

[versed mesa]

Yeah i dint think it be that hard to make it even if it could also be put into a made uo machine and make something we dont have in game or to turn it into some ammunition of sort

[versed mesa]

Yes I am doing that now for time being using moded mk2 storage units with more slots

[prime herald]

Hello

[hard ivy]

The simplest solution would be to add a recipe to a manufacturer or whatever that takes waste and outputs nothing.

But overwriting the sink table should be easy too

[versed mesa]

Yeah but imagine you can turn it into some ammunition

[hard ivy]

Honestly DU rounds for the rifle would be cool

[versed mesa]

Whats DU ?

[hard ivy]

Depleted Uranium

[versed mesa]

What would that do i wonder lol

Stop them breathing or choke lmao

[leaden turret]

@void gorge youtube decided that the clip about the emoji is "not suitable for all advertisers" 😅

[versed mesa]

Idk just silly thought I guess lol

Depleted Uranium has todo something but what exactly i wonder

[flint grail]

Is there a way to copy over map progression from one save file to another?

Like what you've explored?

[leaden turret]

are you wanting to start over or are you wanting to merge progress with an existing save?

[flint grail]

I fucked up and downloaded a save edit when I had the entire map revealed instead of areas I have explored

[leaden turret]

ask in the scim discord channel

on anthor's discord

[flint grail]

SCIM?

[leaden turret]

linked in #welcome , probably what you used to edit the save

[flint grail]

Oh, I'm not in it and I'm in over 100 servers with no Nitro

[shrewd compass]

why not just process it

[silk ocean]

Oh boy I do wish there was a monitor selection box instead of having to do this window mode drag, back to window fullscreen again every time I load the game XD

[versed mesa]

I will do eventually when I make better nuclear factory fir my plants on the water

[shrewd compass]

me personmally ive just finished building a waste recycling plant

you can come take a look if you want

[versed mesa]

Nice

[versed mesa]

Yeah that would be n8ce but I am currently off the game now to have some sleep time

@shrewd compass so what you doing with your waste then ?

[shrewd compass]

turning into plutonium

ive been playing since 2020 and i swear back theen there was no option to process waste

[versed mesa]

Thats what I was thinking

[versed mesa]

Wtf so what would you do with it then if it was not lol

[shrewd compass]

im on a world me and a couple friends started a week ago

[shrewd compass]

just store it in massive storage containers

[hard ivy]

Depleted Uranium ammunition is something that exists irl. The advantage is that uranium is very dense, so it's very effective as an armor piercing weapon. And it's kind of a byproduct of nuclear fuel and nuclear weapon production

In the game it could be high-damage low fire rate ammo

[silk ocean]

Been controversy over that in the past too xD

[shrewd compass]

use a drone if you want and bring it into a distant place

[versed mesa]

Cool

[versed mesa]

Ok ill search it up then

[silk ocean]

Was used quite extensively in the Gulf War 1 I believe

[hard ivy]

Yeah, well, it's a heavy metal so it's kinda toxic. And the issue is that if you're firing hundreds of rounds at something some of them will miss, end up in the group, and end up polluting the environment with a mildly radioactive heavy metal. Even if it wasn't slightly radioactive, it'd still be bad

[silk ocean]

Indeed not ideal yeah

[zenith pecan]

Who cares about toxic in-game though, we're here to strip mine the place and consiquences be damned anyway.

[silk ocean]

Haven't seen much strip mining going on so far xD

[steel dagger]

Is the console release on a certain timezone of November 4 or does it release on the 4th no matter where you are in the world? (Haha i live in Australia)

[silk ocean]

If it's anything like Steam it just launches globally usually they quote like PST or something, e.g. 10am PST

[zenith pecan]

No, we just use drill miners that remove limitless amounts of material without us needing to care one whit about overburdon, might as well be strip mining with the amounts of mass we pull.

[silk ocean]

Those miners must have deep drill bits

[zenith pecan]

I dread to imagine the length of the drill strings given the sheer volume of mass we take up 🤣

[silk ocean]

Couple of km xD

[sterile blade]

Isn't there always going to be someone on a different date from you at any point in time, somewhere on the planet?
Ie: there's always someone at a +-12h difference from you

[shy mulch]

Some countries are decades behind 😂

[silk ocean]

I can't recall a game launch where it has been based on local time but probably there has been

[hard ivy]

Timezones extend from -12 to +14. If it was from -12 to +12, there'd be a single instant when everyone had the same date, but with some insane people deciding to be at +14 instead of -10, we've got a 26h span

[silk ocean]

There would surely be too much sobbing and rage if some countries get it before others XD

[sterile blade]

Based on the famous 26h long day, ofc...........

Smh my head

[true mulch]

The reason is simple, it's due to island nations close to Australia, and it's more convenient to match the date for communication

[silk ocean]

Trading

Align with US or Asian markets

[steel dagger]

Yeah but im talking about when it hits November 4th for Australia its a day early than America (sort of) so my question is, does it release late for aus (nov 5th) or it releases when our time hits November 4.

[hard ivy]

How about we all just use GMT

[reef basin]

it releases at a single point in time, irrelevant of a timezone 🙂

[silk ocean]

Some decide to be either side of the international date line mostly for trading purposes I think

[steel dagger]

Okay 👍

[sterile blade]

They release based on European time, given Australia is "ahead" compared to Europe, you should see it "early", if I didn't get something twisted...

[true mulch]

On that note, they're considering getting rid of DST here in Europe, but some countries want to stay in summertime (the shifted one) for some reason, so it'll wreck most of Europe being united into +1/+2

Can't wait to switch timezones when going directly south

[silk ocean]

UK needs to ditch the clock change and just stay on UTC

[reef basin]

I'm all for leaving DST

how am I supposed to go train discgolf after work if it's already dark at 3 PM?

[turbid merlin]

Us aussies have like 3? Different time zones

Perth is like 4hrs? Behind Sydney

Daylight savings puts Queensland an hour behind nsw cause yea makes sense

[silk ocean]

It's only "Local time" - just work earlier finish earlier would be the solution

[turbid merlin]

Heh, im sure loving my concrete boxes atm

Dont got windows

[sterile blade]

To have a window, you first need a hole in the concrete... The glass is optional :P

[turbid merlin]

Why dont walls line up properly on foundations?????????????

That is giving me ocd

[sterile blade]

They... Always should? O.o

Try taking a #screenshots of what you mean

[turbid merlin]

Posted

Like, what am i messing up there

[silk ocean]

Join?

[turbid merlin]

Yea, like at the corner. Whys it not joining

Or is that juse how it is

[sterile blade]

Yeah, that's how it is...
Try making a screenshot from above to be sure, but I think I'm not miss-remembering...

[turbid merlin]

Its snapping to the thing correctly. Guess i'll just have to live with it

[sterile blade]

Iirc, that's part of the reason why many like to put beams on pretty much all edges of their buildings (hiding that wall-corner-thing)

[turbid merlin]

Gotcha gotcha

Well, basic iron and copper factories are online and running. Now for stitched plating

Probably should do concrete factory after... its slow

[late tartan]

Does the sink always use power whether or not you are putting stuff in it?

[silk ocean]

According to a forum post it uses 30 MW when active and 0.1 MW when standing idle

[mortal ginkgo]

goes back to 0.1 MW if nothing enters. I tested it and you need at least 15/min item transfer for it to continuously spend 30 MW.

[late tartan]

Easy numbers

I wanna make my power graph flat

[silk ocean]

That's unlikely possible especially when you get particle accelerators that massively vary in consumption, converters too

[mortal ginkgo]

while it is a goal of every pioneer, note that you will get machines with varying power usage, such as Trains that uses more power to stop themselves etc

what needs to be a straight line is your power production (geothermals excluded)

[late tartan]

Belts everywhere then

[mortal ginkgo]

what Zatie said above will eventually happen though

[late tartan]

Have so much power usage that it appears to stay the same

And if i can figure out the timing, i can time the PA so that as one goes down, another goes up. Kinda like 3 phase ac power

[silk ocean]

It's pointless effort imo, and a break in supply or any blockage in flow will put things out of sync pretty fast

[hard ivy]

Then why do you care about the 30 MW of a sink lol

[late tartan]

My factories typically dont have that problem. I have buffers and overflows almost everywhere. If i use 60 motors/min, i typically make 150% so 90 then sink the other 30 after they fill a storage

[late tartan]

I must take everything into account

[silk ocean]

You're wasting your time and you'll never achieve what you want

[late tartan]

I can bloody well try

[silk ocean]

You can try... xD

[late tartan]

I will achieve my goal

[silk ocean]

I wish you luck XD

[late tartan]

You just dont believe hard enough

Anyway, imma go back to watching star wars episode 3

[neat berry]

why would refineiers not push fluid up 4m?

[silk ocean]

Machines are supposed to push up to 10m headlift I thought, they should be able to do 4m

Maybe not... stick in a pump if it's not flowing xD

[neat berry]

ts should be tho

it go up soo little

[silk ocean]

I was under the impression they should do from the plumbing guide yea

[neat berry]

holy shit im slow only one was connected

[mortal ginkgo]

(Allows fluids to be transported 10 meters upwards.)

[neat berry]

lol

[mortal ginkgo]

They do so he goofed up somew- yeah, he did goofed up.

[neat berry]

yeah now it pumping

[silk ocean]

I have had to use pumps when I'm fairly sure it's not even close to 10m headlift so maybe something changed

[neat berry]

i need dem mk2 pipes

[dense violet]

higher flow pipes require better piping skills to use

[neat berry]

mine seem be capping

[silk ocean]

Split the system and double up the plumbing

or input either ends of the manifold

Various techniques in the FICSIT plumbing manual

Yesterday at my main world i hit the object limit

[scenic mirage]

#screenshots message
25 crystal oscillators/min

[scenic mirage]

@hazy hawk howd you manage calculating without a working 0 key

[silk ocean]

There are two 0 keys on a full size keyboard

[wintry carbon]

what is the object limit?

[hazy hawk]

It was a scientific calculator. So plenty of exponents, addition, and teeth-grinding.

Now I think it would've looked cooler with individual pipes going from the blenders to sets of three generator pairs.

[scenic mirage]

yes but he said calculator 😭

[warm pendant]

what part of map this green thing spawn?

it damages me

like radiation

[silk ocean]

Like Windows calculator? You can always click xD

[scenic mirage]

gas clouds, look in mam

[warm pendant]

no, its like glowing

[scenic mirage]

send in #screenshots

[hazy hawk]

If it's glowing green, and looks like a rock or ore node, it's uranium. DO NOT collect it; I know from experience. If it's on four legs and trying to kill you, it's a nuclear hog. Retreat to minimum safe distance and shoot it until it dies. Wear hazard suit and iodine filters.

[scenic mirage]

a calculator is handheld usually 😭

[silk ocean]

or.. not xD

[warm pendant]

what wait there's a mob that is radioactive?

shi man i didn't bring enough nobelisk

I'm on my 2nd playthrou and i forgot how annoying versitile frameworks are to make, why do you need 1000 of them Why WHY WHYYYYYYYYYYY

[silk ocean]

[scenic mirage]

#screenshots message
where is my todo?

[south lion]

Why not 1000

Why not more😼

[sage radish]

i know that you need 2500 for phase 3...

[silk ocean]

According to a reddit post - "This "limit" can be increased at the risk of Game Save corruption, but there have been reports of many players doing so and not having any issues (but the risk remains), so frequent manual saves and backups is strongly recommended."

[sage radish]

Why are automated wiring way easier to make than versitile frameworks yet you only need 100

[warm pendant]

giant spiders scared me aaaa i lost sommerslop

i didnt know they can jump so high when aggro

[south lion]

Cuz they need more versatile frameworks to make the thingy

Duh

[sage radish]

bullshit

[south lion]

They might just be storing them there for no reason

[sage radish]

i dont think they only need 50 smart plating to make the frame of the machine

[south lion]

They duplicate the smart plating

But the machine breaks after it

And you need a lot of versatile frameworks to fix it

[spice patio]

<@&370483737957236737> How about making #announcements about the console release and the stream?

Instead of it only having been mentioned in the stream.

[silk ocean]

Is there anything to announce, isn't it 4th Nov a known fact?

[spice patio]

The time.

[silk ocean]

Fair

[spice patio]

As there is launch stream again, and the time for that has only been said in latest twitch stream on tuesday.

So the release, and the launch stream start are both 14:00 CET, so 13:00 UTC.
And CSS fucked up with summer/winter time transition, so PS-store says the release would be one hour earlier.
AGAIN the point why I keep trying to tell CMs to always use UTC...
They put the time into PS store in CEST, and now it is CET, as change from summertime to wintertime was between input and now.

[final bridge]

Have recently found out that a lizard doggo, despite the world being in stage 1, can in fact, give you a nuke nobelisk

[spice patio]

But of course inputting in UTC would have caused issues in other direction, if not taking that local clock change into account.

[silk ocean]

Meh xD It's an hour difference.. it's available when it's available, patience padawan XD

[gusty bronze]

Satisfactory x Palworld crossover when? 😄 I want pokemon working my factory to make it go faster

[dense violet]

afaik they can, in fact, give you basically any in game item at any time.

possibly not mercers, sloops or hard drives though

there's probably a list on the wiki

[silk ocean]

I do personally agree that UTC is the best reference to use in general, people can then have a firm basis to convert from

[zenith pecan]

Probably get sued by nintendo.

[spice patio]

Especially when CMs never seem to actually remember to use CEST when it is summer time, and just use CET/Swedish Time.

[silk ocean]

Timezones and summer time can easily get confusing yep

Especially when some countries change clocks at different times/weeks I think

[spice patio]

Yes, it isn't universal change all over the world.
EU moves as a block, but basically no-one else moves at same time.
And some countries/regions don't have summer time at all etc.

[silk ocean]

I'm totally with just using UTC, much simpler for all

[spice patio]

It should not be expected for people outside EU to know when EU switches summer/winter times.

[silk ocean]

Apart from maybe those on Swedish Time xD

There needs to be a countdown timer XD

[leaden turret]

what you call people you pick up in #1201555265942724758 is between you and then

[gusty bronze]

you gotta admit, it would be kinda neat to add slave... I mean worker labor to the factory

[hard ivy]

Eh, I think that the pinnacle of automation is a factory that can run forever without any human intervention

[gusty bronze]

hence the pokemon

they are ex-human

[zenith pecan]

Switch to amazon mode to make the overclock more effective.

[final bridge]

how likely is it to get two in a row from the same guy?

[dense violet]

No idea how items are weighted, or even if they are weighted

if they aren't weighted then 1/X^2 , where X is the number of possible items on the list

[dim cradle]

This run I've been kind of noticing that I enjoy just stockpiling and getting things into dimensional storage more than actually completing the obj, like I only put down 1 constructor per item for these phase 3 things lol

[versed mesa]

Hiw do I put water extractor in a blueprint with foundations and nuclear plants together?

[warm pendant]

omayghad im at phase 3 now

[versed mesa]

💪

[dim cradle]

And they're done anyway though

All I did was overclock the one making modular whatevers by a lot lol

Guess I'll be at phase 4 in just a sec

Time to finally upgrade those mk3 belts I'm using lmao

I just turned off the constructors for the modular things and the control units. Should I leave them on? Idr if they're used for later phases

[dense violet]

All the space parts are used in the next phase

[dim cradle]

Guess I'll just leave it on and stockpile then

[warm pendant]

so yeah you'll use it again

[warm pendant]

ahh yeah i see i need it

thanks for the fast wiki

idk what to do at ph 3 soo amma watch some tutorials first xd

[dim cradle]

Just build on top of what you already have tbh, maybe grab some hdds to make life easier like I did

[whole drum]

P3 is definitely a great time to go exploring

[dim cradle]

Is anyone kind of savvy with plastic/rubber math? I set up a hybrid of recycled and normal plastic/rubber but I'm not sure if I'm actually coming out ahead or not lol

I can take a pic and mark it up a bit

[warm pendant]

hell yeah p3 getting jetpack gonna be helpful to explore

already doing fortnite builds to get to mountains. now i have someting to break fall damage

[dim cradle]

You could have already had the parachute

[dense violet]

https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production?share=v0ZdOg310tYJONGz2QH8 plastic

[warm pendant]

where?

[gusty bronze]

depends on where they started on how easy it would be to get the parachute

[whole drum]

Jetpack + Zipline is a lot of freedom

[dense violet]

rubber https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production?share=kI6Ygf3XkC4GSJvizKVR

[whole drum]

You can get parachute easy at any start

[dim cradle]

Well I'm doing both at once, and feeding them into each other to make more of each other, along with fuel

[dense violet]

you can do both at the same time. But you make you life much easier if you split it at the start and don't merge

just decide how much of each you want, and dedicated the oil to the 2 sections

In the Rubber plan, you stil make Reycled plastic, but it'll all get turned to rubber in the end.

reverse for the plastic plan

[dim cradle]

I'm making a decent amount with what I've set up, just trying to figure out how efficient this is for oil use 🤔

I'm hoping it's just better than the default recipe

[dense violet]

well the plans show you how much plastic/rubber you get per oil if you bother to look at them

the info is literally a click a way

[dim cradle]

it's using things I don't have yet, like Blender and mk2 pipes anyway tho

[dense violet]

use diluted packaged fuel then.
output is the same

changing the recipe might be 3 or 4 clicks if you want to see the diagram

[dim cradle]

hmm... I wonder if I can just put mine in here

[dense violet]

you can set inputs too

Nah I just wanted to make something on my own. Idk if this will be clear as dirt but here's a pic that I marked up a bit #screenshots message

[dense violet]

do you care at all if this runs smoothly?

[dim cradle]

So far it's been running pretty smoothly? But as long as it runs it's fine lol

Something you noticed right off the bat?

[dense violet]

it's jsut a spider web of piping with bits that look interconnected

I'd be surprised if there weren't stutters going

most important rule for smooth fluid systems is keep your systems simple and tidy

[dim cradle]

I think the only stutters is because there's way too much rubber vs what I'm using, filled up that stack of containers kind of dumb fast

Maybe I should make something to get rid of excess fuel though

[hard ivy]

Yeah, well, without either diluted fuel it ain't gonna be efficient. The next best chain without it is over 2x worse
Also, tier 5 without smart splitters is insane lol

[dense violet]

possibly, but it's basically impossible to tell how smooth it is if you're not consuming the product

[whole drum]

That 'sgetti is nuts

[dim cradle]

I do actually have the diluted packaged fuel recipe, I just didn't get around to researching packaged fuel itself

Look I was tired okay actually no that's not it I would have just done that regardless but yeah

[versed mesa]

So i was looking through index at Uranium waste recipe and before that I was looking at plutoniam waste and the other one and something did not look right at all I fought maybe its me I need a sleep maybe it make more sense later but it defo did not add up thats for sure lol

[dense violet]

if you do end up using the packaged fuel, you'll probably save yourself some effort if you make units of packagers > refinery > unpackager , in a loop.

[whole drum]

It looks mostly like there just wasn't enough organization to the initial build placement

[dim cradle]

I'm about to be in phase 4 btw lol. Got all the stuff ready just need to drain the lines for the space elevator somehow

[whole drum]

All the secondary issues follow

[dim cradle]

So it'll be tier 8 without smart splitters?

[dim cradle]

Well I mean... there haven't been any issues so far, the thing runs fine...

[whole drum]

At your tier you should have almost all of the cat branch researched

[dim cradle]

I just wasn't sure about efficiency

[hard ivy]

They take like 15 minutes to unlock from scratch lol

[dim cradle]

So I think my oil inputs are 135 for the diluted heavy stuff and 180 for the normal plastic/rubber.

And then like 240 each for plastic rubber it looks like

so yeah that's less efficient than that schematic in the planner for sure

Well no it's like 260/240 depending on what that last refinery that's doing the polymers does

[dense violet]

a huge part of the recycled loop efficiency is the diluted fuel, it's true 🙂

[dim cradle]

Yeah maybe I can improve it a bit if I swap out that part somehow

[near drift]

Hi is the game gonna be only on PS5 pro or all PS5 consoles?

[true mulch]

diluted fuel is the single most OP recipe in the game

[true mulch]

base PS5 as well

[dim cradle]

I just wanted to make something on my own so I'm happy it's working for now I guess

[near drift]

Thanks

what about slim?

[dim cradle]

but yeah if I multiply my inputs by 2x to match the diagram I'd still only be at like 520/480 plastic/rubber lol

So that's a lot less efficient than that

Wonder if it's just the diluted fuel difference

at least it makes both?

[hard ivy]

You can make both with recycling as well

And it's just as easy/difficult as making either one

[dim cradle]

Well I'm using recycling atm, just I didn't have a way to get either of them started? So I just tacked on the normal recipes for both and merged them into the manifold, and then the oil output into the fuel

Need to go research packaging to try that

[hard ivy]

You normally do that with rubber from residual rubber from the byproduct resin from heavy oil residue

Not residual plastic, as that's slightly less efficient

[dim cradle]

Makes sense, and then that gets the loop started

for minimal cost

[hard ivy]

It's not even a cost. You get the maximum oil efficiency by using the residual rubber for that. Or, well, you could also just output the residual rubber and hand start the loop, and it'd have the same efficiency, but why

But for a proper loop, you'll need smart splitters lol

Prio mergers can be useful too

[dim cradle]

I mean it's basically just sinking output if any of it gets full right

to make sure it keeps going

I guess this is what happens when I make a line while struggling to stay awake, should have noticed that I could have just used residual to get it started

[whole drum]

When working with oil products, it's always good to have a smart splitter that points overflow into a sink for your solid products.

This ensures they never turn off from being full, so your power grid doesn't halt if it depends on that oil.

[hard ivy]

You don't need to prevent the machines outputs from filling up. But you do need to make sure their inputs are filled. And that's what you need smart splitters for - you put all rubber on one belt, all plastic on another, and then you feed that entire belt back into the opposite recipe. But it's a positive feedback loop, so you gain plastic and rubber every loop, so you need to output it, but only the excess

[dim cradle]

Well... I guess I could just delete the normal coal/oil lines and it would work about the same then lol

er plastic/rubber lines

I already started the loop anyway

[silk ocean]

I basically try to overflow/sink the excess of everything I manufacture to keep the fac running all the time

[dim cradle]

I just let it pile up tbh, tells me that I got free resources to use somewhere else if I want

[hard ivy]

I do too but you don't really have to, unless it's power

[whole drum]

I don't on low end materials because those usually go to DD, so I don't want to use the extra power if I'm not using those materials.

Pure preference tho

[dim cradle]

I guess one thing you do lose is the extra heavy oil from the normal rubber/plastic lines

but it's a tiny bit

[silk ocean]

Certainly don't have to no, I find it just helps to know where you stand in the event the factory were to start working at max capacity

[whole drum]

In the long term, you probably end up with quite a few more coupons

[silk ocean]

That too

[dim cradle]

Well I've been sinking the alien stuff from 3 slooped constructors

[hard ivy]

Oh, the server banner just changed on me lol

[dim cradle]

it's starting to cost a lot of points

I should start sinking this alien stuff from the manufacturer thing I overclocked that's taking that in

[whole drum]

Building excess computers to sink can be good coupon generation if you can get your p/m decently high

[silk ocean]

I've long reached the point where I have nothing to spend coupons on, they are just stacking up in storage

[whole drum]

You get the useless 1k decoration too?

[silk ocean]

Yep

[whole drum]

I still haven't done that one

[silk ocean]

The Golden Nut

[whole drum]

Mostly because I don't stick to just one save

[dim cradle]

I have like 200ish?

Well no 260ish

tbh outside of trophies and some useful things idk what I care about in there

[shy mulch]

The coupon shop basically has 2 categories of things. Cosmetics and time savers.

I get like 1 coupon every 3 mins or so

[silk ocean]

Cosmetics... and Hard Drives xD

[shy mulch]

Hard drives count as a time saver category 😝

[silk ocean]

xD

[hard ivy]

Only if your points come from parts, not DNA. Cause I imagine gathering enough DNA for 100 tickets probably takes longer than gathering 1 HDD

[shy mulch]

Depends. If you just gather dna as you go about your day anyway then I wouldn't really count that as taking time

This looks like a freaking rear of a server room or a connection center for an ISP

no order, only chaos

[silk ocean]

Such an abomination of a factory XD

[spark sky]

Well, the ceiling light just disappointed me. #screenshots message

[dim cradle]

I mean I can see how you can do this, too just like... got a pipe, need it to hook into thingy, run around looking for a thingy to hook into

[whole drum]

It looks like the web of those funnel spiders

[white dawn]

They've posted other shots in here, too, though I never remember the username. Quite glorious!

[dim cradle]

no matter what I do, I can't top that

[spark sky]

With all that mess, how do you even know everything is hooked up to something?

[dim cradle]

to begin with, I couldn't even play long enough to do that lmao

[whole drum]

At that point, you don't care

[dim cradle]

well they have different colors of pipes, so on a micro level this probably isn't all that complicated

[spark sky]

Well, as big of a mess as Let's Game It Out made, everything seemed to work.

[dim cradle]

It's like writing spaghetti code but easier.

[whole drum]

Yeah, but it took forever lol

[dim cradle]

So one step at a time they probably knew where everything was going

[spark sky]

I guess once you connect something, don't ever change it.

[dim cradle]

Well either that, or just you know... hook up everything into free slot, let RNG decide what percentage of your inputs and outputs are actually working

Use your new stochastically powered factory

[whole drum]

It's like attaching multi-colored balls of yarn to a dozen cats, ferrets, rats, terriers, and pigs each--then setting them loose in a confined space together

[spark sky]

I just learned that word last week, regarding stochastic computing and a new chip.

[dim cradle]

Then you can proudly say that your factory is powered by RNG

[spark sky]

Real Nutty Girls?

[silk ocean]

Stochastic Miner Mk.3.... could be an ore... could be a lizzard doggo

[spark sky]

Heh.

[whole drum]

It's always producing something, but you can't know until you observe

[dim cradle]

Might as well make a miner that mines data, too, but we don't know of what

Privacy policy changes

[spark sky]

Okay, now I want to know how I can put a lizzard doggo on a belt that runs in a circle.

[dim cradle]

I tried experimenting with getting a spitter onto a belt

to see if I could make a kill loop. Doesn't seem to work

[iron idol]

How many foundation tiles wide is the Space Elevator's base?

[whole drum]

Reminds me of the infinite sushi belt a friend an I made that ran between two storage containers

[dim cradle]

I don't think animals are affected by belts

[hard ivy]

!wikisearch space elevator

[raven axle]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/index.php?search=space+elevator

[spark sky]

I have an item display blueprint sort of like that. You put 1 of each item you want to display in the container and they just move around the belts.

[dim cradle]

Although, I didn't try one of the bounce things

I wonder if I could get them onto that and then fling them off the cliff

[spark sky]

Let's Game It Out already did that. He put a stack of nuclear waste in each lizzard doggo's inventory and had them flung off the cliff into oblivion.

[dim cradle]

I meant on spitters

and other creatures, so you could have infinite meat/dna if you just made like a track that ran in a loop around spawn points

[spark sky]

Oh, I thought you said "splitters". Sorry for the misread.

[dim cradle]

Yeah I tried putting a spitter onto a belt to see if it would get belted off, didn't work

But if flingers work... that might do it

and then just make a stupid long hypertube track that runs by each spawn point

[whole drum]

I want to craft a flamethrower to use against spiders and hatchers

[spark sky]

The thing with belts is, if the belt ends somewhere, the stuff on the belt just stops at the end instead of being dumped off the end of the belt. (Just one bit of realism we didn't get.)

[whole drum]

Have its damage based on the fuel you use

[dim cradle]

yeah that's true too

they didn't even get moved though

[spark sky]

Then again, Satisfactory has Minecraft physics, when it comes to building stuff that's unsupported.

[leaden turret]

<@&370483737957236737> please confirm whether Sweden has gravity

[whole drum]

They have to. They been dropping truth bombs all over Russia lately.

[spark sky]

After watching a video from Coffee Stain about splines and conveyors/hyper tubes, it may be a number of things. The spitter may be too big and stuck because the splines on both sides are hitting it, or, perhaps the belts don't even interact with creatures.

[whole drum]

I think it's the latter

I've seen spiders land on my belts and not care

[vivid thorn]

[whole drum]

Tell him he's silver trash and not to pick Nunu support if he doesn't know what he's doing, then complain in the post-game reporting screens.

[spark sky]

Yeah, but if you get on a belt with a bunch of items on it, the belt pushes you through the items (also not realistic).

Hm, I've wondered about setting up some belts as moving sidewalks. It could be useful for a "guided tour" of your factory.

[dim cradle]

I wonder if enemies will spawn if you fly by them with the hypertube...

[whole drum]

I do that when I have long belts between hub factories

[dim cradle]

and then get flung...

[shy mulch]

Should be able to ride lizard doggos and set routes for them like you do with trucks. Then you could leave one running as a tour guide!

[dim cradle]

well I'm sure someone that's more bloodthirsty than me will test this out

[spark sky]

Hm, will a lizard doggo follow you into a hypertube?

[shy mulch]

They will not

[whole drum]

I want to combine creature remains with DNA to set up a cloning machines so I can make an army of them to send across the map and wipe out the other wildlife, Supreme Commander style, then tame hundreds of doggos to go fetch all the remains and drop them in a set of storage boxes for me.

[shy mulch]

honestly there's probably a mod for that haha

[spark sky]

Is there a mod that makes those stupid birds of some use?

[shy mulch]

oooh that gave me an idea
you should be able to give weapons (rebar, rifle, nobelisks) to tamed doggos and they will use them on any nearby enemies

[whole drum]

They already have a use

[spark sky]

Yeah, to get in the way?

[whole drum]

No, target practice

[unkempt blade]

sharks doggos with fricking laser beams

[spark sky]

Well, they should at least drop something.

[shy mulch]

100%

[spark sky]

Warning, containment protocol failure. Lizard doggo vaporized the containment wall.

[whole drum]

One of the funniest things about the rebar gun is that the default ammo will ragdoll other players

[dim cradle]

Reminds me I accidentally blew up a doggo earlier... was a spider there and I didn't even see it till it was too late

oh well

Can't craft gravemarkers unfortunately

[spark sky]

I wonder, if you kill a doggo, do they respawn?

[unkempt blade]

you should probably make a blueprint for that if you plan to continue being a monster 😆

[nocturne nebula]

hey guys, when placing a constructor, is ctrl + looking at the side of a building still a thing to place neatly next to it?

I am wondering if a mod might be conflicting or if its no longer a feature?

[shy mulch]

yes it works normally

[whole drum]

Ctrl is still used for grid snap placement, yes

[nocturne nebula]

issue on my end then

unless there is a setting for it

I suspect settings are saved between game installs

[whole drum]

Try tapping your Ctrl key a couple times and try again

[nocturne nebula]

will do!

[whole drum]

Just in case the physical key got stuck or something

[nocturne nebula]

must be a mod

[spark sky]

Just be careful Windows doesn't think that's an indication that you want it to do something (Windows has that multi-tap key function, annoying whenever it activates).

[whole drum]

Check your keybinds

[nocturne nebula]

#screenshots message

[whole drum]

1. You should definitely disable those kinds of "features" in your settings.

2. You should actually abandon Windows in favor of Linux.

Windows is such hot garbage now

[spark sky]

Probably, and Linux would probably let me play my "classic" games better than Windows.

[whole drum]

10 was an okay OS--not the best--but 11 is a dumpster fire that they are forcing on people, is ultra intrusive, carries lots of mandatory "features," is heavier on your resources, and they are destroying W10 to force people onto 11. F*** MS.

Only catch with Linux is that things that use certain kinds of anti-cheat don't work.

[spark sky]

I'm still using Windows 10.

But, if I could, I'd go back to 7 or XP.

[whole drum]

7

[south sinew]

7 was the last version that was actually better than its predecessors

[whole drum]

Ya

[south sinew]

since then it's been downhill for sure

[whole drum]

I begrudgingly went from 7 to 10 because of DX drivers forcing the issue

[zenith pecan]

Anti cheat or no, it looks like I'll be shifting to ubuntu, microsofts overreach has gone too far.

[hard ivy]

Same with Satisfactory kekw

[spare ice]

Hey guys, does drones unload each load seperately? For isntance if I have 2 drones coming to 1 port, does it for isntance unload coal first and when fully unloaded it starts unloading the iron?

[shy mulch]

when a drone lands it will unload whatever it has, if there's no space to unload everything it will sit there until there is

[spare ice]

Okey thanks I was wondering just that, if it unloads everything or just parts of it when theres space

[dim cradle]

Is there anything that would let me harness only "idle" flow from a pipe network

like if it fills up then send it this way to make some packaged fuel

[shy mulch]

Not dynamically. But you should be able to calculate how much overflow there will be, and use a valve to limit that pipe

[white dawn]

You can do an "overflow" with fluids using a reverse u-bend sort of thing

Make sure the top of the U-bend is higher than any machine processing fluids, and then only the overflow should go over to the other side

(for it to be accurate, I believe the top "cap" should be a separate pipe segment; you'd want one pipe going up, then another pipe as the "cap" (the actual inverted U), then another pipe going back down)

Though best yet, IMO, is to do the math and just have a dedicated Packaged Fuel line

You know how much fuel you're using for other purposes, and you know how much fuel you're producing, so just send exactly that difference over to get packaged

(If it were me, I'd have dedicated machines making the fuel to be packaged; can underclock/overclock to get the numbers just right)

[dim cradle]

eh I'm gonna just yolo pump that fuel in

missing a little fuel isn't gonna kill anything

unlimited jetpack calls

... jetpack sucks >_>

[silk ocean]

Jetpack is very useful

[ornate saffron]

This is my thrid play through of Satisfactory since update 7. and it always blows my mind how much power you need in the final phase. 30/min trigons and time crystals alone is over 10gw of power all so i can lay m6 conveyers

[mortal ginkgo]

use it with liquid biofuel

[lucid pagoda]

How do I do the math for a train, if I needa carry ~4000 nitrogen/min on a 12 minute trip, how big should train be

[whole drum]

You need to time the round trip, load/unload time, and make sure you won't have any bottlenecks in that flow

[lament niche]

hey does anyone know if blueprint menu has a hotkey

[spark sky]

In what way?

[lament niche]

like construction menu you press q, or inventory you press tab

[spark sky]

I don't think so, it's all from the construction menu.

[dim cradle]

I thought I saw people hover with jetpack, not just gain altitude. Is that a different button from what I'm thinking of?

I'm kind of missing the power armor mod tho lol

[spark sky]

You can add a blueprint to the quick bar, though, by pressing a number key.

[dim cradle]

ah I see hoverpack is a different item

[ornate saffron]

Off hand im unsure. But I know you can fit more packaged nitrogen on a train then as a fluid.

[dim cradle]

These new powerlines are really good though, I agree now. Can basically use them for transportation

[dim cradle]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Tutorial:Train_throughput

this should help you

[unkempt blade]

it's certainly no parachute but I don't think it sucks

[ornate saffron]

You'd need 40 stacks of 100 so that's less then 2 freight cars

[dim cradle]

I think as a liquid you can only transfer 1600 m^3 max per visit

at least I think I'm noticing that with oil

So it's however much you can actually make during your round trip time before docking again, I guess you need (<that number>)/1600 that's how many platforms you need

[lament niche]

that's per car

[dim cradle]

right, I meant per car per visit

sorry

I think nitrogen also has a lot of different sources per source so you may need to split the pipes up into different loading stations unless you just package it, in which case you'll still need to split it just into different belts probably?

[silk ocean]

Trains can shift crazy amounts, unlikely to ever be bottlenecked by rail

[unkempt blade]

yeah but if you package it you can fit 400 nitrogen into a factory cart which is better for reasons

[dim cradle]

naruhodo

[buoyant orbit]

how do you add mods guys

[silk ocean]

Put the materials in factory carts, put the carts into a train, put the train into a boat, put the boat into a drone

[unkempt blade]

I've never actually tried driving a cart onto a train while recording a route but now I'm sort of curious

[white dawn]

The modding webpage should have all the info for that. There's a Satisfactory Mod Manager which is generally used to do it. Specific modding tech support should be in the modding discord, though (there's a link to it in #welcome )

[buoyant orbit]

oh okkk ty

[ornate saffron]

Factory carts are great for single stack items as they dont need fuel lol

[silk ocean]

They are fairly useless offroad

[ornate saffron]

i love that they dont need fuel but will take it and the fuel just disappears

CLARIFICATION: Your mother struggled extensively with the personal dilemma of her preference for automated assistance compared to bestial vigor. It was through our repeated interactions that she came to the conclusion that metal outlasts meat, thus her satisfaction was complete.
