satisfactory

[wicked nacelle]

I wish they’d introduce “hard mode” or something for people that want an official challenge mode not just make up your own challenge.

[ivory condor]

Console users arent going to be as hardcore as pc gamers, so making it more casually approachable is very likely intented so it will sell better on consoles

[hard ivy]

I'm fine with nuclear being made optional due to its complexity, but at least make it not shit, please

[wicked nacelle]

I agree completely

[versed mesa]

Imagine you could create your own materials and products lol

[wicked nacelle]

It’s technically more sulfur efficient per power I think? But not so much that you don’t have to do the math to make sure of it

[versed mesa]

Like design in game

I could of sworn I had seen Ionised fuel i cant seem to see it lol

[wicked nacelle]

I meant something simpler just like tuning numbers.

Also if you butn too much fossil fuel ima region it should require gas filters or you take damage

[green fiber]

yeah nuclear is a lot more sulfur efficient

i think it was more than 4 x

[wicked nacelle]

If you don’t burn plutonium is it?

[green fiber]

no matter what

nuclear is more sulfur efficient

[wicked nacelle]

I don’t think it’s nearly 4x without burning plutonium which is its own problem

But I could be misremembering

[versed mesa]

All is challenging either way

[green fiber]

Base nuclear alone vs Nitro turbo is already a 7:2 difference in terms of power per sulfur
(aka nuclear is 350% more sulfur efficient for the same gross power production)
Did the math once before

[hard ivy]

not if you sink plutonium rods

[versed mesa]

Not long now until the release on consoles

[green fiber]

plutonium is an additional... what, 30/min sulfur for 10 nuclear power plants

[versed mesa]

How much points can you get ?

[hard ivy]

enough to make it more expensive than default RF + TBF

[hard ivy]

~3 points/min per MW of uranium rods burned

[versed mesa]

Is this alot ?

[hard ivy]

no clue

[versed mesa]

Lol

[hard ivy]

sounds low but so does 1 MW of power production lol

[versed mesa]

Yup

@hard ivy will they bring in 1million plus points a minute?

[hard ivy]

2100 uranium into 50.4 uranium rods into 12.6 plutonium to sink is 630GW and ~1.9 Mp/min

[abstract rose]

wht the smartest way to get rid of plutonium waste

[green fiber]

dont make it

[hard ivy]

not make it in the first place

[wicked nacelle]

Rods then Drones then sink

[abstract rose]

kinda to late

[hard ivy]

otherwise store it forever

[deft wagon]

sink the fuel rods

[hard ivy]

or ficsonium but have fun with that

[wicked nacelle]

You have to turn it into plutonium fuel rods unless you want to store it

[deft wagon]

net negative and a pain in the ass!!

[abstract rose]

that takes, well, too much....

[granite wharf]

So will the release for ps5 happen exactly at 12am on November 4th or does it depend on timezones

[deft wagon]

not really

[abstract rose]

i have 120h

[wicked nacelle]

It’s not net negative unless you’re comparing it to storing waste but that’s gross

[hard ivy]

more like somewhere between +40% and -20% on the power, depending on a lot of factors

[deft wagon]

for power generation it makes less power than it needs to make the rods

[granite wharf]

Thumbs up really answered my question, thanks bud✌️

[leaden turret]

!consolerelease

[raven axle]

The Console Version will be released on: <t:1762261200:F>
More information will be found in #announcements

Will it allow crossplay?
Between consoles: yes, between PC and console: no.

Can we download ahead of time?
No.

[wicked nacelle]

Not once you factor in burning the plutonium fuel rods

[abstract rose]

how much?

[green fiber]

considering both of those need an hard drive, then its fair to also say that nuclear chain gets to use 2 drives for the base nuclear
and there nuclear is around 40% more sulfur efficient - thats WITH recycling

[granite wharf]

Thank you!

[granite wharf]

I think same as pc

[abstract rose]

Aight everyone, Honest Question, Balancer or Manifold?

[wicked nacelle]

What alt makes nuclear better?

[green fiber]

Uranium fuel unit and Infused Uranium Cell

[wicked nacelle]

Do whatever you want but balancers are way more time with no production benefit

[granite wharf]

Also is it 15:00pm worldwide or is that for a specific timezone

[true mulch]

the timestamp is in your local timezone

[abstract rose]

im asking you

[granite wharf]

Sick

[deft wagon]

manifold is almost always better
Unless you NEED something load balanced

[abstract rose]

im on manifold

[ornate saffron]

depends on preference mostly I prefer to balance anything to do with fuilds though

[true mulch]

balance fluids? 😭

[wicked nacelle]

There is never a need for doing belt level load balancing. Manifold backs up and load balancing happens on its own

[deft wagon]

fluids???

[true mulch]

you can't even balance fluids because junctions aren't splitters

[abstract rose]

like i used to do as a kid?

[native tapir]

I love this debate so much. Truly, I could listen to people debate it all day lol. It's my fav

[wicked nacelle]

It’s not a debate. That wasn’t an opinion.

[primal obsidian]

fianlly got 1 GW

[green fiber]

you can try to balance fluids but in the end they will try to balance themselves

[ornate saffron]

are you not balancing water in your aluminmum setuop using refineries or other methods to use the water? Balancing isnt jsut pipes and belts

[green fiber]

to varying degrees of success

[true mulch]

what do you mean by balancing here

I mean balancing as the fill method, not as matching inputs to outputs

[leaden turret]

we can't balance fluids, ||the fish got removed and thus the scales went with them 🥁 ||

[wicked nacelle]

Har har

[leaden turret]

[deft wagon]

[willow jungle]

guys was there a way to go from belts to conveyor poles with the same shortcut? I'm trying to remember the hotbar I used to use and I don't think I had those in the hotbar

[wicked nacelle]

I’ve never once wanted to build a conveyor pole by hand

At least since they made it an option

[green fiber]

dont think there is one. you usually build belt poles together with belts.
if you want just a pole you need a hotbar slot for that

[wicked nacelle]

The idea that conveyor poles exist as a discrete item is a failing of the game. If they want to put them in for aesthetics great but there’s no reason for them to exist outside of that

And having to clean them up is a huge annoyance in a large restructuring.

[true mulch]

what...

[native tapir]

I'm with you on load balancing but conveyor poles are pretty necessary lol. They should delete with the belt imo. But they can be nifty for placing a belt somewhere it doesn't want to go. Also for circular belts.

[true mulch]

I find the lack of railway support poles annoying and one of the reasons why they're so slow to build

[native tapir]

Agreed

[wicked nacelle]

I’ve never once thought I wanted any such thing and I’ve laid 100s of kms of rail

Both by hand and with blueprints

[true mulch]

wanting railways to be straight is a tedious process that requires building foundation bridges

[wicked nacelle]

Not have I ever been sad to not have a bunch of crap sitting around if I delete some rail. But sure. Have hand placed ones stick around but auto placed ones go away with the belt. That’s fine compromise

[wicked nacelle]

Hold control

[true mulch]

that does not do what I mean at all

[wicked nacelle]

It makes a straight rail. At least horizontally.

[true mulch]

that makes the segment straight but you can't align it with anything, unless it's coming from an already aligned segment

[wicked nacelle]

Place one foundation and then you can run it forever.

[true mulch]

it allows you to build the segment in midair?

if so, that would indeed make it faster, at the cost of losing the support structure for aesthetics

[gray jungle]

I crave satisfactory…….

[ornate saffron]

the factory needs Peanut

[gray jungle]

I can’t play until I’m out of school and then I only have 30 minutes to do minor tasks before I go to work

It’s very bad I’m considering quitting my job for this game

[grim carbon]

i have a smelter configured for copper ore to nuggets, being fed from a storage unit via belt
but the light for the connection is flashing yellow
why is that?

[latent ledge]

👀

[wicked nacelle]

It doesn’t that’s why I said horizontally. But a support beam wouldn’t either since they’d be fixed at ground level and ground isn’t flat so a vertically flat rail still requires placing a pole if they existed as a belt pole does. I’d have no problem with a straight vertical modifier as well and it being midair. It’s not inconsistent with how the game works otherwise. And then a snap point on the bottom of the rail to build down from.

[true mulch]

yeah, maybe instead of modifiers we could get build modes as with everything else

I forgot to mention another reason why I find the lack of supports weird: you can build belts and pipes directly on the ground and have them look decent, but that is just... not possible with railway tracks, they will always clip through

[gray jungle]

I’m thinking about restarting my world

[true mulch]

I think a nice way for railways to be built without foundations should be possible when looking at games like Cities: Skylines and how spline building in 3D works there, but it would mean a completely unique way of building something (not necessarily bad, if the pros outweigh having to get used to a new system)

[mystic oriole]

Been there a couple times.
Things aren't just right so starting from scratch is better than ripping it all down.

[ornate saffron]

When i have little time to play like 30 minutes here and there, I tend to focus on design and decorating. then when im not playing i think about my next steps and how things are constructed around me so i can get inspiration

[ornate saffron]

same

[gray jungle]

As of my current world, its efficiency over decor

[mystic oriole]

My first save, I didn't keep, played for 2 hrs and scrapped it, I was trying to figure the game out.

[ornate saffron]

same, thats why i focus on decor when i have little time to play... otherwise ill just have floating factories everywhere lol

[gray jungle]

Which is a big reason why I want to restart. I want to focus a bit more on decor as well as maybe record my experience.

Record mainly because I tend to forget what I was doing when I don’t play

[mystic oriole]

Signs help, and there's an ingame todo list.

[gray jungle]

True, true.

[grim carbon]

why are my power rods flashing yellow?

[gray jungle]

Your machines are idle

[grim carbon]

i have a smelter with copper ore ready on a belt attached to it that's also flashing yellow

and i have it configured for nuggets

[gray jungle]

What’s the ore purity?

Nuggets?

[grim carbon]

normal

[ornate saffron]

nuggets? do you mean ore?

[grim carbon]

no, ingots, sorry

[gray jungle]

Okay really quickly, let me ask a list of questions

What purity is the ore? (You already answered, it’s normal)
What tier is the miner and belt?
How many smelters do you have it feeding into?

[mystic oriole]

Why does my head go to chicken nuggets when someone says nuggets?

[grim carbon]

just one smelter

[wicked nacelle]

Tendies2!!!

[gray jungle]

Do you have the logistics milestone yet?

[grim carbon]

i'm feeding it via a storage unit

[mystic oriole]

nuggets and now feeding... and I had lunch.

[ornate saffron]

okay so the machine that you are inputting into

Check
is the recipee correct
is the output clear
is the input blocked? somtimes if it was used fior soemthing else a item can be hiding deleting and rebuilding the belt fixes this
if you directly input the items does it turn on?

[grim carbon]

am i making you hungry? @mystic oriole

[mystic oriole]

hm... I need to loose weight. My fat ass is thinking food after I had food.

[ornate saffron]

same. i made a really good soup last night.... then order pizza and wings

[grim carbon]

i deleted the belt and put a new one, now it's feeding it like normal

[mystic oriole]

Pork chops and rice for lunch, I'm full.

[ornate saffron]

awesome. in the future we are happy to help but please post in #1038092680493801533

[grim carbon]

ok, thanks

PS store is wrong

[mellow spruce]

On xbox you can preinstall it with the xbox app

[ivory condor]

you can right now?

[reef basin]

preinstall is impossible afaik

at least that's what devs said

[ivory condor]

hmmm

I have no idea if this is possible or not, but in theory i guess it could work, because the console version is already done, it just now has a set launch date right?

[feral swan]

[reef basin]

depends where you live, but yeah, PC master race

[ivory condor]

greeny your tools master race😛

[dim cradle]

Kind of find it funny how I can get a wireless hall effect joystick PC controller for <=30$, any console, their controller prices are skyrocketing out of control lol

Slech, did you see where I tested on your save earlier?

[ivory condor]

but another reason for pc master race😛

[dim cradle]

... though not sure what I really tested

[ivory condor]

hmmm nope i missed it

[dim cradle]

pretty sure I pinged you

[ivory condor]

hmmmm ok i guess i missed the ping to somehow

aka i hate discord

somehow pings just get lost

[willow jungle]

guys how do I use alien remains as biofuel?

[hard ivy]

there's a recipe to turn them into protein then biomass

[willow jungle]

and how do I get it? kinda forgot how to play and I'm struggling to find it online

[hard ivy]

!wikisearch alien protein

[raven axle]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/index.php?search=alien+protein

[hard ivy]

!wikisearch biomass

[raven axle]

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

[willow jungle]

and I fit this in the biomass burner?

[hard ivy]

the protein? no, you have to turn it into biomass at least. ideally solid biofuel

[visual harness]

Is the plutonium fuel unit recipe better or worse for power?

[willow jungle]

and how would I turn it into it? isn't that only done with leaves and wood?

[hard ivy]

like I said, there's a recipe for that

[whole drum]

It works with protein too. Just throw it in a constructor.

[hard ivy]

well, not "just". you have to unlock it in the MAM first iirc

[whole drum]

Personally I never turn protein into biomass, but you can

[willow jungle]

oh, it's cause I didn't have the milestone, right... thank you guys

[hard ivy]

I use it for jetpack fuel. with sloops, 1 remains is 533 packaged LBF - basically free

[small pebble]

do people like using turbo heavy fuel versus regular turbo fuel?

[whole drum]

That's fine, but pre-coal era it makes too much for the belt to support and every biome has plenty of leaves/wood available to reach coal very comfortably without rush

[hard ivy]

I consider it an absolutely dogshit recipe. it has some uses, but none I'd ever bother with

[small pebble]

yeah it doesnt seem good lol

[strong wind]

is there data on what the file size will be for the console release?

[visual harness]

Anyone know if Is the plutonium fuel unit recipe better or worse for a large scale powerplant?

[hard ivy]

it's 25.5 GB on my PC

[deft wagon]

i think the normal recipe is fine

[deft wagon]

20-30gb likely

[hard ivy]

I mean it does give you more plutonium rods per cell. whether or not that's better is up to you

[pliant magnet]

It’s 1pm GMT release time right for console?

Mainly asking because of the pressure conversion cube, as it seems like a bit of a pain to make on a larger scale

[summer stump]

is there a reason to use any specific method to run a dedicated server?

performance wise

like am I gonna have less latency if I run it on docker

[hard ivy]

that's a question better asked in #dedicated-servers probably

or maybe the wiki has answers

[summer stump]

fine

[reef basin]

it gives you some advantages, but it's up to you whether you like those or not

[hollow wyvern]

How do you plan out conveyor highways without knowing where all the nodes are in advance?

[ornate saffron]

In game you can use radar towers to find nodes.

Out of game you can use the interactive map. Its pinned in #math-and-meta

[reef basin]

you don't 🙂 you build near nodes

[ornate saffron]

That is a good option too ^-^

[hollow wyvern]

I just want one centralized lagtory

[reef basin]

generally not recommended for logistical and performance reasons

[ornate saffron]

Its hard on you and hardware. Good luck and God speed. ^-^ i too am building a monstrosity

[sour vine]

Can't wait for the console release tomorrow 😀. Ive been looking forward this for a while. What time will it release in the UK?

[past axle]

Anyone know why I’m not able to buy the game yet on console?

You’d think they’d let us buy it and install early for release time

[visual harness]

Can't buy it before it's released

[sour vine]

They are not doing pre orders

[past axle]

Crazy considering every other game allows it so you have access to it immediately on release

So now I have to install it at 8:00 then play it at like 9:00 or 10

[sweet adder]

anyone know when 1.2 will come out

[deft wagon]

a moment between now and the heat death of the universe

[sweet adder]

well whens that

[deft wagon]

if we knew i'd tell you

[shrewd palm]

If it helps you’ve probably got trillions of trillions of years until the universe goes out

[sour vine]

Aye, what time is satisfactory releasing? Is it midnight?

whats the estimate for 1.2 like feb?

[sour vine]

I meant consoles lol

[deft wagon]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[shrewd palm]

Early next year

[deft wagon]

Devs havent said I believe

[shrewd palm]

Don’t know exactly when

[sweet adder]

okies

[deft wagon]

plenty of time

[shrewd palm]

@sour vine and his should have the time in whatever time zone you’re in

[sour vine]

Sound. 1 pm UK got you

[signal gate]

What will be the price for this on console? (GBP pls if we know)

[deft wagon]

same as pc i can imagine

[reef basin]

2019*

[signal gate]

I have work until 3:20pm... But 1pm is a good launch time tbh if it all works out (Pws2s launch for console was poop)

[signal gate]

What's the price on pc? I wish I had a pc lol

[deft wagon]

1.0 was released in 2024

[deft wagon]

you can go on steam for free

[reef basin]

sure, but Satisfactory was released in 2019

[deft wagon]

but i think it was something like 40 dollars?

[signal gate]

Yup... Guess I'm waiting for it for Christmas then

[deft wagon]

that's the pre-release date

[reef basin]

no, that's release 🙂

[deft wagon]

um

okay then?

[reef basin]

#off-topic-media message

[deft wagon]

yes that was early-access
aka pre-release

the offical release date was in 2024

[reef basin]

it's still a release

[deft wagon]

im aware, but it isnt considered full release

[reef basin]

I'm aware, but nobody mentioned "full" until now

[sturdy mural]

guys is the gas nobelisk worth it even in the slightest?

[reef basin]

worth for?

[glass pagoda]

When i first started satisfactory a couple weeks ago I was looking around for a place to build my new base cuz my old one sucked in the plains. So I found the red forest and thought it would be a good idea to go into it 😀

[sturdy mural]

like using

or even bothering to make them

[reef basin]

for?

[sturdy mural]

what could you use it for? as a "self-defense" equipment

[reef basin]

good dps over time

[glass pagoda]

Would yall recommend turning on enemy's becuse im a guy who hates fighting but I feel like it might add to the game

[deft wagon]

they can get a bit annoying

[ivory condor]

enemies are basically a none issue

just build a little in a area and they stop spawning

[glass pagoda]

Do you think In future updates they will add on to the map because I would love to see more places like blue lakes or meteor whatever they call it

[ivory condor]

doubt it because hannah wouldnt be happy

[glass pagoda]

Who's that

[sturdy mural]

probably no
maybe slight tweaks

..unless a whole new map in FAR FAR future

[ivory condor]

hannah is this games world designer

[glass pagoda]

I like this cool world

[reef basin]

the map won't expand, maybe some small changes here and there

[ivory condor]

maybe they could higher more world designers because hannah definitely wouldnt want to do it

[glass pagoda]

What is your favorite location in the map

[deft wagon]

the world is already well made & doesnt really need expansion or changes tbh

i think there's one or two things but they arent really bad

[glass pagoda]

My only complaint is that the fart clumps cant be destroyed

[ivory condor]

they can be?

[deft wagon]

explosion

[glass pagoda]

[ornate saffron]

blue crater

[ivory condor]

nobelisks are fart clumps worst nightmare

[deft wagon]

has a lot of stuff crammed in one spot

Quick question, is this game hard to understand ?

[zenith fractal]

eh, sometimes. you will get the hang of it though.

[dense violet]

the basics are very easy

after that you can make the game as simple or as complicated as you like

[covert rivet]

Hope my brain can absorb everything

[glass pagoda]

Im back

[dense violet]

treat the tiers like a well structured tutorial.
The actual goals are very easy for the phases if you want. You can build super sloppy systems and you'll get there.
just practice doing things. You'll get there

[glass pagoda]

Would you say red forest is a good place for uranium

[dense violet]

it's got a couple nodes?

[reef basin]

anything you don't want visit much afterwards is a good place for uranium

[dense violet]

at the point in time where you're using uranium though location doesn't really matter

AHHHHHHHHHH

[wheat yew]

aww just remembered that 1.2 is in fact not dropping with consoles or in 2025 at all... unfortunate times

[glass pagoda]

I wonder what it will add

[wheat yew]

well, for one, fluid trucks and hopefully more fluid fixes

[dense violet]

yeah, hopefully the pipes explode in your face and kill you when you do them wrong

[glass pagoda]

They should add me to the game

And i will nuke all factories

what do i do with heavy oil resido

[reef basin]

whatever you want

[peak wasp]

whats one way it keeps stoping my plasic and rubber becouse it overflows

[reef basin]

check codex to see what you can do with it

[peak wasp]

idk how to use it

ok

[buoyant charm]

how to use dimentional depot

[dense violet]

hook a belt into one

[spring hazel]

Use a smart splitter and make an overflow to a Sink

[reef basin]

there's no smart splitter or sink for fluids

[spring hazel]

He said rubber and plastic

[reef basin]

the HOR is stopping rubber and plastic produciton

get a PC and play there

[buoyant charm]

ok thanks

[forest mirage]

Alright I'm grabbing the tissues..

here's how you survive

get some sleep... once the game is out on xbox you won't be for a day.

[forest mirage]

My tears dont FALLL they Crashhhh around Meeeee!!!!

[hollow wyvern]

I cannot wrap my head around this

The major roadblock my mind is facing is how all the nodes are spread out across the map

[tall lantern]

build factories across the map too

[dense violet]

belts, trucks, trains, drones

solved

[tall lantern]

don't try and centralise (unless you really want to)

[reef basin]

the way to play is to build factories near nodes they need 🙂

[hollow wyvern]

Okay but even then, how do I get all the finished products back to a centralized spot without spaghetti

[reef basin]

you don't

[dense violet]

you don't need to do that either

[reef basin]

you use dimensional depots

[dense violet]

but even if you do

"belts, trucks, trains, drones

[mellow minnow]

Hi, I was wondering if there was a location (website, ie) were we can download other peoples world saves? I'm a bit stuck idea wise on how to build and connect factories. I'm use to brute forcing things, but want to take a bit more time and really design something that just works.

[dense violet]

some youtubers give out saves in their discord?

[forest mirage]

Give it now I'm not gonna make it 😡😡

[dense violet]

but you're not going to get much help from that

most of the way you learn is building

[dense violet]

and using planning tools like this https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production

[mellow minnow]

Trust me, I get ideas from seeing other peoples designs.

[spark sky]

Okay, this isn't going to work, I guess. If you paste a blueprint into a blueprint designer and change it's height (so you can put another blueprint on top and make one blueprint), it seems that the Blueprint Designer doesn't know that there is a blueprint there. I replaced one part and it decided that that part was the entire blueprint.

[dense violet]

youtube vids then. gl with it

[dense violet]

but it's just

make X parts per min

send X parts per min to someplace that needs it

layout as you need as it doesn't really matter

[waxen robin]

Bro i sat waiting at midnight hoping

[mellow minnow]

No, its "Why are they utilizing these areas for specific parts. How are they best moving materials from one area to another.
People have different ways of learning and I know there were websites where people could upload their save files for tour reviews, I was just asking if anyone knew what they were.

[forest mirage]

We need to take legal action for emotional damage

[waxen robin]

🤣🤣🤣 give my addiction back i need it

[forest mirage]

Seriously 10 hours might as well be an eternity.. they dont care about the well being of there customers.. I dont think I'll come back from this

Wow powerful advice from a powerful profile 💪 respecccc

[frail sleet]

Don't know of one, dropped you a few savs though

[waxen robin]

I did after I waited 🤣

Tbh I couldn't fin3d anything anywhere so I ended up heer

[spark sky]

So, with this console version, will PC save files and blueprints be able to be shared with them? What about mods?

[mellow minnow]

Thank you

[zenith fractal]

pretty sure console can't do anything with anything pC

[waxen robin]

Don't think anything will be sharable if they haven't gone for crossplay

Shame they haven't i get why but still

[spark sky]

"They"? Coffee Stain or the players?

[waxen robin]

Coffee i dont think the players can pull of another bedrock to java crossing 🤣

[glass pagoda]

Guys I need help im trying to build my first coal generator but it is impossible to power via biofual

What can I do to power it

@zenith fractal you always have a plan can you help

[waxen robin]

Power it in segments

[glass pagoda]

Huh can u give an example

[zenith fractal]

slowly turn everything on

use biomass to turn 1 coal gennie on then use the power from that to turn another on

[frail sleet]

it's not powered with biofuel

[zenith fractal]

and so on

[frail sleet]

it's a coal generator

[waxen robin]

😆

[glass pagoda]

Bruh

[peak wasp]

is there a way to make fluied buffers automaticly flush

[zenith fractal]

no

[frail sleet]

no, make your fluid systems net zero or net negative

[peak wasp]

oh do i get rid of fluieds

[zenith fractal]

use them

[frail sleet]

recipies consume fluids yeah

[peak wasp]

whats the best way to use oil resido

[zenith fractal]

it's popular to turn fluids into a solid with recipes then to sink the solid

[peak wasp]

heavy oil

[zenith fractal]

fuel typically

or packaged fuel

[hearty wind]

Xbox comes out tomorrow 😛

[glass pagoda]

@zenith fractal #screenshots message bro ts looks like somthing out of let's game it out why did I think this would work

[zenith fractal]

i cannot tell what is happening in those pictures

[frail sleet]

you're still using mk1 power poles (you can unlock better ones)

They have 4 connections, so you can treat every pole as connecting to:

• the prior pole
• the next pole
• 2 free things

If you need more connections just extend the chain.

[zenith fractal]

also where are the coal generators cyan? all I see are bioburners

[glass pagoda]

Ik I can unlock better ones but rn I am getting the boom thing to explode the fart towers

[glass pagoda]

Oh its hooked up to the coal cuz I thought that would power it lol

Welp now I need to run this about a couple thousand feet back to my base

[zenith fractal]

I mean biomass burners do power miners

[zenith fractal]

oh

[waxen robin]

Was it not hooked up to your grid 🤣

[glass pagoda]

My base is placed in a good location My base has 4 pure iron nodes one pure coper node and one pure limestone in very close proximity to the point where I can get to all of them in less then 30 seconds but everything else is pretty far

[zenith fractal]

everything is far

[glass pagoda]

So does power not work as well the longer my chain goes

[zenith fractal]

no

it doesn't matter

I have 1 power line that if it breaks my entire grid is disconnected. it is transporting like 90 gigawatts rn

[glass pagoda]

Does it matter how many power lines are hooked up to the original carrying the sorce

[dense violet]

no all that matters is how much power you're using

[frail sleet]

You just can't connect more things to a power pole if it's at 4/4 connections. You had that error message center-screen on all of your pictures.

[spark sky]

That's what the dots are for, to show you how many connections you can have, and how many are connected. If you want more connections to a power pole you have to replace the Mk1 poles with Mk2 poles (with 7 connections) or higher.

[glass pagoda]

OH GOD NOW EVERYTHING IS TANGELD

Maintaining a neat factory Is hard

[dense violet]

basic practice

usually very easy to just keep 1 power pole or socket per machien and then chain them

[glass pagoda]

I do keep a chain its just annoying knowing I'm probably gonna tear down my whole factory to improve it

But thats part of the game isint it

[dense violet]

doesn't have to be. Make a new factory to make more parts elsewhere

but the tiers are basically a tutorial. Do what you like

[spark sky]

@glass pagoda This is a game where you're not pressured into doing anything in particular, even though ADA sounds persistant at times. Yes it gives you goals, but you can spend a month gathering leaves or looking for Somersloops and Mercer Spheres, if you want.

[glass pagoda]

So you are saying instead of one absolutely huge mega factory instead I should have normal factorys that are placed near certain nodes to produce different things and somehow have it all connected?

[spark sky]

It gives you goals, but it's up to you when and how you want to complete them.

[dense violet]

if you want
depends on how you see the game.

are you going to be done with the game after the phases?

or treat the game like a sand box with your own projects?

[sharp basin]

See ya tomorrow guys (PS5 player) 🤟🙏✨

[glass pagoda]

I love exploring and do that more then tending to my factory so thats what i do but I need to get those pesky fart bubbles out the way first

[glass pagoda]

Sandbox

[sharp basin]

There are gonna be chats for console players?

[dense violet]

fart rocks take up like 0.1% of the map. You'll live

[glass pagoda]

Still i hate splator splorps

[spark sky]

Once you get Noblisks, you won't have a problem with those rocks.

[dense violet]

then just experiment.

the phases can be completed without actualy thinking about anything and using the sloppiest ass set ups if you want

so practice as you go up the tiers until you unlock everything. I guarantee you your style will change as you learn

[sharp basin]

I haven’t started playing and I’m already looking at YT tutos, seems HARSH

[turbid merlin]

Honestly, when i first started playing i was gonna do a mega factory, but now i threw that approach out the window as i still havent gotten past phase 2. I'm doing subset factories that produce 1-3 products depending on what it is/if it has common parts. It has honestly been much easier to keep on top of things

[spark sky]

Nah, you're spoiling your experience. Just try stuff and learn by trial and error. You might be amazed at what you come up with.

[sharp basin]

Good comment for beginner I guess

[glass pagoda]

I just need to fix this up a bit becuse I dont know where anything is

[sharp basin]

OK got it

[dense violet]

you'll get more tools to help with it

[glass pagoda]

I'll send a photo in screen shots

Actually ill figure it out

[turbid merlin]

Like right now this is my current setup. Basic Iron Factory, Basic Copper Factory, Stitched Iron Plates (Reinforced iron plate alt) and now i'm working on a basic steel factory

Been waiting on steel alts to do rotors and modular frames

[spark sky]

BTW, you can create a Creative world to try stuff in without having to gather materials, but I recommend doing that after you get the first Blueprint Designer in your normal game.

[sharp basin]

You talking to somebody that’s starting the game tomorrow on ps5 😂

[turbid merlin]

Hahah, but still. Build subset factories. Dont worry about a mega factory on your first run

[spark sky]

@sharp basin Take it slow, there's plenty to do and you don't have to let ADA push you around.

[turbid merlin]

I use Satisfactory logics to plan out my factories and figure out my machine counts

[sharp basin]

Seems to be the most ADDICTIVE game in the WHOLE world

[turbid merlin]

Its similar to satisfactory tools

[turbid merlin]

Gregtech new horizon was addictive for me. Have played that MC pack to completion 3 times already

Been playing it since 2019. Now i want to play satisfactory as my addiction... lol

[sharp basin]

Noted, one factory after the other

[past axle]

Will the console version be the exact same and pc?

In terms of content

[spark sky]

Is there a limit to how big of a blueprint you can paste into the blueprint designer (other than the blueprint overlapping the edges of the designer)? I tried pasting a blueprint of 2 floors of a building, then lowering it to put another blueprint on top of it, and the game says there's nothing in the blueprint designer (can't save it, doesn't show a materials list).

[calm dune]

Does anyone have any tips on how to stop playing this game?

[turbid merlin]

Touch grass

[sharp basin]

They said YES

[past axle]

You don’t fixit needs you

[dense violet]

there's probably issues if the original BP went to the edges of hte machine

[calm dune]

💀💀

[spark sky]

Hire a hit man to take out the computer.

[past axle]

That’s amazing to hear I played around 30 hours in my laptop but it couldn’t maintain the game so I’ve been eating for console and really excited to start from the beginning with friends

[sharp basin]

Yeah take a walk in the forest

[calm dune]

Playing in the garden 🤪

[calm dune]

I think he'll play too...

[spark sky]

Does that include parts I deleted before I saved the blueprint (like lights on the sides)?

[sharp basin]

See ya asa I need help guys, gonna be soon 👋

[dense violet]

not sure what you mean ? if you saved the bp and it had items on the very edges, you'll likely have issues I think. Pretty sure I've seen people complaining about it before

I don't paste BPs into a bp machine though so...

maybe when you paste it it's going slightly further down past the floor?

[spark sky]

It's part of the bottom blueprint of a building. I deconstructed the floors below this and removed the floodlights that were on the side of the building. I then saved it as another blueprint, then pasted it into another blueprint designer, lowering it so I had room to put the other floor I need on top.

As far as I know, nothing was below it, I had deleted everything but the empty space.

[dense violet]

and whats the issue after having pasted it and built another floor?

[spark sky]

No, I didn't build the other floor yet, I pasted it in the lower position and the designer says nothing is in the designer, can't save it.

https://discord.com/channels/370472939054956546/1435078912546836620

[dense violet]

try not putting it right on the floor. Maybe its clipping down too far, as mentioned

[spark sky]

Okay, if I build something in a blueprint designer that's, say, 5 meters off the base of the designer and save it as a blueprint, can I not paste it in another blueprint designer and lower it so the visible bottom of what I built is lower (the bounding box goes below the designer floor)?

[dense violet]

there might be a floating point error where it's 0.001m clipped past the bound

hence "try not putting it right on the floor"

[spark sky]

If that's the case, then I will have to builld my building from scratch, all over again, another 3 weeks of building.

[dense violet]

or live with it not being on teh ground of the BP machine and nudge it down manually when you build it ...

[feral geyser]

That is what I do, you only need to do it for the first one you place if you are using snap mode.

[spark sky]

The problem is that the two floors I want to join can't be put together because it's splitting a vertical load balancer and the vertical lifts won't connect. So I'm trying not to have to rebuild 3 floors of building all over again, I just want to cut the two pieces of the building blueprints (there are currently 2 of them) in half and take the top half of one blueprint and put it under the bottom half of the other blueprint, then replace the load balancers completely.

[dense violet]

sorry not clear what the actual issue of why you can't have this 1.0 or 0.5m (half nudge off the floor) and still do this?

the bottom of hte BP will cut off anything anyway

[spark sky]

The part I pasted that actually has material in it, not air, is like 4 meters off of the floor.

[dense violet]

ok but why does it have to be directly on the floor?

[spark sky]

I didn't say that.

[dense violet]

then why was having it slightly above the floor not a fix?

[spark sky]

Because before, when it was originally saved, it was like 20 meters off the floor. Pasting it into another blueprint designer and lowering it by, say, 15 meters, now the blueprint designer says nothing is in the designer.

[restive crest]

[shrewd palm]

[shy fog]

for me it says... oh... 11ish hours?

[dense violet]

you might want to just wait on your post then. afaik you should be allowed to paste and nudge within a bp machine.

[spark sky]

Okay, I guess I'll go play something else till I get an answer.

[dense violet]

or work on someting else. Or keep things in multiple BPs.

[shrewd palm]

that does sound a lot like theres something clipping slightly through the floor

[spark sky]

Again, the multiple BPs I want to join can't be joined as they are. I have to join them, then replace the vertical load balancers so they are intact.

[shrewd palm]

and you cant load one of them in either?

[spark sky]

Loading them doessn't put them where I want them.

[dense violet]

that just sounds like placing multiple bps yes.

[spark sky]

I wish I could stream to you to show you the problem.

Two people already joined my game and tried to help me fix my current blueprints and couldn't.

[dense violet]

so you physically can't have a BP of each floor, and a bp of the load balancer, and just build them as needed?

[spark sky]

I have the BP of the load balancer, that's not the problem.

[restive crest]

It doesn’t but I’ll wait hah thanks all

[shrewd palm]

its coming out tomorrow at 8am eastern time

not sure what that is in australia but probably some time later in the day

[spark sky]

I tried building the lower 2 floors of the power plant that has the load balancers feeding the generators (3 floors total) as the top floors of the base blueprint. The load balancers, when placed, stuck up above the BP designer, so I cut off the tops of them and build the tops into the bottom floor of the building's top blueprint. But, when I put the two pieces together, there is an issue where I can't just connect the vertical lift to the upper part of the load balancer. Somehow there is a half-nudge offset (even though everything is built in 1m vertical offsets), unsure where. Even removing the floor and floor holes and attaching the lift directly to the bottom part of the load balancer and then to the upper lift splitter, it won't feed past the upper splitter.

[dense violet]

it sounds like you need to build the each floor, and the load balancer, in seperate section

as well as rebuild the connections manually

[spark sky]

The only other possible solution, I guess, is removing the load balancers completely and putting them in from their blueprint after the top and bottom of the building are joined.

[cunning cloud]

Hi on my ps5 it say its for ps5 pro and it dose not say its on ps5

[dense violet]

yes thats what I was saying

sometimes when you're building awkward things you'll have to do manual work arounds

[shrewd palm]

11 hours away from launching

[cunning cloud]

is it ps5 pro only

[shrewd palm]

roughly

[spark sky]

I had wanted it to be simpler and just have the connection be between the fuel production on the bottom and the bottom of the load balancers (with the balancers in place).

[dense violet]

sure, but connecting bps vertically is a pain and Im' sure doing a load balancer that needs vertical connections is much more of a massive pain if you can't fit it all into 1 single unit

which I'm assuming you can't fit it all into one single BP as you wouldn't be going through all this otherwise

again, sometimes you need work arounds when you're doing awkward things

much like when you see cool architecture, likely there was like 3x as many objects actually built and then deleted to get positioning right

[rose saffron]

only now that I have oil power unlocked have I automated quickwire

I could've done it a while ago, but I just never needed it until now

still haven't automated quartz either

[spark sky]

Right. Well, I looked at the base where I built the fuel production and said, "I bet I could put two floors of generators on top of that." So, I did, but then the load balancers stuck out of the top of the BP designer.

[dense violet]

yup, sounds like you'll need the 3 bps and manual linking done. Shouldn't take long in any case

[spark sky]

And, strangely, it accepted them there, and didn't even seem to say that I couldn't connect belts to them.

[dense violet]

couldn't tell you. I think i'd have to be trying to build what you're doing to see what you're seeing

[spark sky]

(I had one BP that something just barely stuck up above the BP designer and it wouldn't let me make a connection to it because it was a "world object".)

[dense violet]

yeah I wouldn't rely on things that pushes things to the extremes.

you never know where the edge case will fall.

[spark sky]

I know that, if you build a BP with walls at the edge of the BP designer, you can load it in and edit it, but you can't paste it into another one because it "overlaps the BP designer."

[timber ledge]

I was watching a stream the other day where the streamer was bluprinting rail platforms with auto-attaching rails. I tried doing something similar with some blue prints but there does not seem to be much distance for the auto connection. Is he using a mod or is there a mod that extends the auto connect distance for rails? I have seen people say it is 16m I think.

I would post the stream link but I dont want to break a rule.

[shrewd palm]

afaik there arent any mods that do that but you might be able to find one on the modding discord (linked somewhere around here)

and 16m is only 2 foundations (each foundation is 8x8m)

[timber ledge]

K, yeah I thought that was the case

[shrewd palm]

i usually go about building rail platforms and stuff by just going out X foundations and then placing the next platform, then nudging it into place

[spark sky]

So, a Mk3 BP designer is 48m x 48m x 48m. (That is, the space given to build in.) With walls on the edges, that pushes the BP to 49m per side.

[timber ledge]

Yeah, I just figured auto-connection would make it that much faster.

[shrewd palm]

autoconnect is too much of a hassle to deal with for some things i think

[dense violet]

I think the main part of autoconnect is keeping it straight?

if you're not building off a main leading line of foundations you're probably going to have a hard time lining things up

[shrewd palm]

^^

[dense violet]

for example - zooped foudnations with pasted towers to line them up https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/932761153703149659/1423747654508216592/image.png?ex=690a4e54&is=6908fcd4&hm=0b76b2ed216e380b9cf885ad99f0eb71393f7eb90e3d694185f03d2be3253ed2&=&format=webp&quality=lossless&width=363&height=350

[timber ledge]

I use the world grid quite a bit and I Have had success with autoconnect and straightness. The only problem is the default distance

[dense violet]

eh, world grid

[timber ledge]

Ye

Personally I like it.

[dense violet]

it's very restrictive in design and doesn't provide any benefits

even if you wanted to mesh foundations fro macross the map there's trivial ways of doing it w/o a world grid

[timber ledge]

I have found that if you want to place floating platform blueprints that do not connect the walkable platforms together it is great for aligning.

[dense violet]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uX_2i8T3Dbw

no need for a grid, have things going off at whatever angles and curves you like.

[timber ledge]

I am talking about making long straight runs regardless of angle

[wild kindle]

how do you change what direction you go in a hypertube branch?

[timber ledge]

There are large parts of the map (looking at you southern plains) where there is little topology to move around

Before I cause myself pain

What do floorholes do with fluids

Don't they add 10m of headlift?

[turbid merlin]

The announcment auto corrects to your timezone

[frail sleet]

a floor hole is just a mini pipe

pipes transmit headlift when they're full

but they don't create it

[waxen robin]

Is the floor hole and fluid pump issue fixed ?

[frail sleet]

there isn't a known issue with either of those things

[bitter sparrow]

Anyone here buying it on the PS5?

Couch gaming and satisfactory should be peak

I work remote so I pretty much stopped playing pc games a few years ago

[waxen robin]

There was fluid pumps head lift broke when going through a floor pipe hole if I rember right

[frail sleet]

in alpha maybe

[waxen robin]

Yea it was pre 1.0 but didn't know if it was resolved

[coarse pebble]

is there a place to like.. ask questions about the.. development process I guess
like im curious whether the devs ever thought of making item portals akin to the | pioneer portals |unlocked late game, perhaps with the incentives being infinite maximum throughput and instantaneous long distance transport of resources

[tough trellis]

So I was watching a video on how to make a hypertube cannon, and I realized that hypertube entrances obviously start you out at a higher speed, so would it be possible to speed a normal hyper tube up simply by putting entrances every so often?

Oh Im so using this

[waxen robin]

Id guess it was talked about when the dimension depo was added but id presume tge chalange would be tge logistically situation of getting it tge long distance

[dense violet]

those already exist. They are called 'drones'

[coarse pebble]

iguess..

[dense violet]

Time for any particular item to cross is meaningless as long as you have the throughput

need more throughput? add more drones. You'll always be limited by belt speed

[tough trellis]

there is a mod that does that by assigning storage containers id's and then you can connect a pair by giving them the same id

[dense violet]

essentially drones but don't need fuel. woo

you plop 2 building at either end point, drones magically move everything with basically no infrastructure

[tough trellis]

do they use fuel or power?

[zenith fractal]

fuel

they can accept many of them though, from batteries to plutonium fuel rods.

basically anything fuel that is on a conveyor

so packaged fuels even work

[tough trellis]

unrelated question, do the filters for the gas mask and hazmat suit only get used when exposed to that sort of hazard and does it automatically replace the filter when used?

[zenith fractal]

yes and yes

[tough trellis]

lovely

Im so glad I unlocked these

[dense violet]

the ports also use power - but once you have drones it becomes extremely easy to fuel them. Just drone the fuel over.

[tough trellis]

lol "You can fuel yourself buddy"

[dense violet]

almost, you'll want a dedicated fuel drone. It'll mostly sit at its drop off location until a full load is needed

one reason why a lot of people design drone set ups so that multiple drone paths share a flight point. Fewer spots to refuel

but it's also not a huge deal having a ton of independent A to Bs that have their own fuel drop off

[silk ocean]

Who fancies testing my server, DM me for the deets. I'm in the UK so best be close Y'all (you know... latency and all dat poop)

Just need to load it up with like 32 people xD

No need to panic, supports v4 and v6 xD

[ivory condor]

I'm close aka in the US does that count XD

[silk ocean]

Yea it's fine xD

It's just a pond between us xD

Where in the US, West Coast is Best Coast?

[pine patrol]

okay i legit joined this server to ask the question why only female for character customization

[silk ocean]

Everybody likes a fem protagonist apparently

[pine patrol]

epic 👍

[silk ocean]

It's the latest fad

[pine patrol]

fad?

[silk ocean]

Latest hotness

Latest thing

Latest obsession

[zenith fractal]

can 2019 even be called recent?

[rose saffron]

I added seven fully overclocked coal power plants to my power grid

[zenith fractal]

time for production

[pine patrol]

😔

[silk ocean]

Never watched Zoolander? xD Fem protagonists.. so hot right now

[pastel hedge]

Isn’t it coming out on Xbox tomorrow?

[pine patrol]

thats why im here

its also coming out on ps

[pastel hedge]

Nice

[silk ocean]

Tbf some of the guys are hawt too.. Cavill.. and he builds his PC. What a boss xD

[pastel hedge]

That’s good for Xbox and PlayStation

[dense violet]

just as a thing, over clocking generators doesn't give you more power per fuel unit

[rose saffron]

yeah I know, it's linear

[pastel hedge]

I haven’t slept in like two days. I spent the past like 30 hours playing satisfactory.

[rose saffron]

it saved me a lot of space though

[pine patrol]

me when i figure out the only reason we have fem protagonist in satisfactory is to look at hot woman

[silk ocean]

It's an FPS xD

[zenith fractal]

Ada would be proud, efficiency for the puppies and kittens.

[dense violet]

sure, but also space is infinite https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/932761153703149659/1430431067952775280/image.png?ex=690a3afe&is=6908e97e&hm=e6c69b7c0ef349cac9871bf1ec8a99bcd997bfd7cf97e2dc17df9c4a7d461485&=&format=webp&quality=lossless (mostly)

better to save shards for miners and other awkward spots.

[pastel hedge]

I just got my nuclear power plant done

[zenith fractal]

very nice

[silk ocean]

It's not like you see your toon in this game xD

Unless you throw yourself into a Power Augmenter and ragdoll into the mountains

[pastel hedge]

I’m gonna go to bed now, but I do need a bunch of copper so I think I might do that. Before I hop off.

[silk ocean]

Good tip - run a Linux LAN server and set it to run 24/7 xD

Factory always making things while you sleep

[pastel hedge]

My power plant just went down and I can’t start my nuclear power plant

[pine patrol]

Better kick start that bio burner

[pastel hedge]

I gotta go turn off like five factories to get that started easily

[zenith fractal]

what happened?

[pastel hedge]

I have an entire power plant full batteries so I’m fine

[silk ocean]

Priority Power Switches are looking at you xD

[pastel hedge]

Something happened with my coal train

[zenith fractal]

ah

[silk ocean]

It fell off a cliff

Coal everywhere

No power, lots of coal xD

[pastel hedge]

I know I know as I ran out of coal

I have like six buildings five of them are factories and nuclear power plants and the other one has like 100 batteries in it so I just gotta go over there. It’s my main power hub so I could turn off the rest of the factories to get that started up to get the nuclear power plant started up.

[silk ocean]

And you managed to trip the grid

Impressive

Are you not obeying the golden rule XD - powergen gets priority/dedicated resources under all circumstances

You have nuclear? Why are you using coal xD

Tear dat poop down

[abstract heron]

Wow my hrs in game

[silk ocean]

1,579 according to Steam. Probably 1,275 of procrastination

[abstract heron]

mine are dis

17,502 hrs on record on satisfactory

[rustic pier]

WHOOOOOO! (Gears of war reference)

[lucid pagoda]

ficsonium needs to be re-done imo, ill be making nearly 600 plutonium waste and thats a lot but id need upwards of 30,000 SAM to convert, not possible. tens of thousands of almost every ore that exists, like bro, im better off just making thousands of industrial storage containers

[silk ocean]

That's more than I have played of World of Warcraft xD

Only got 10,180 hours in WoW.. what a peasant

[abstract heron]

i am making all DD ore and DD cayons pure 😛

[silk ocean]

On a scale of 1 to "I went to main menu and used Process Explorer to suspend the process to offload the GPU because I didn't want to exit the game" How many of those 17,502 hours are the latter xD

Suspending games is a good tactic - DRAM gets refreshed regardless, and putting a game into preemption saves having to reload it xD

Obviously if you need the main memory for something else then terminate the game etc etc

[ivory condor]

I'm not even sure if that would even work, because for example belt simulations are ran on the gpu now via the chain actors

[silk ocean]

As far as Steam is concerned, if the process is resident, suspended or not, it counts up the hours

[ivory condor]

The way the game is designed, some work is done calculation wise on the cpu for sure, but more work besides rendering is done on the gpu now

Oh for the purpose of counting up the hours only

[silk ocean]

You can suspend the game in-flight. If you are connected to a server it will timeout but otherwise no issue

Pretty much can do that with any process

I suspend stuff all the time

[pine patrol]

i cannot fuckin wait until the game drops on console

[silk ocean]

1300 UTC apparently

Don't believe the PS Store xD

[dense violet]

Don’t make 600 plutonium waste then.

Ficsonium redone

[plucky loom]

Whens the console update? Its like 5:20 already (UTC+0)

[silk ocean]

What update is there lawl

1300 UTC.. patience padawan

[plucky loom]

oh

Damn

[dense violet]

You can easily make zero plu waste, for example

[silk ocean]

Let me check the AI for this clarifaction xD

[versed mesa]

Hi good morning all

[silk ocean]

Okay it went deep but here are the highlights

Step 1: Find the time difference
From 05:20 → 13:00
That’s 7 hours 40 minutes difference.

✅ Final Answer:
TankTin has to wait 27,600 seconds, or 27,600,000,000 microseconds.```

[urban bobcat]

Can someone help me find or tell me how to find this mercer sphere. #screenshots

[versed mesa]

Today is the day for those that own consoles and want the game for there console it releases to all consoles today

[urban bobcat]

NVM I FOUND IT

[silk ocean]

Just get a PC xD

I discovered recently that a PS5 Pro is basically 700 quid, you can build a mid-range PC for like 850 with an RTX 5070

[versed mesa]

[silk ocean]

And no subscription fees just to play online and...... Steam

PC works out cheaper in the long run

[versed mesa]

Just buy Rog Ally

Lol

[silk ocean]

No don't do that lol

[versed mesa]

I own one

[silk ocean]

RIP

[versed mesa]

Its great

No rip at all about it

[silk ocean]

Anything with ASUS ROG slapped on it == expensive

[zenith fractal]

personally I think there's simply isn't enough things to do with waste

[silk ocean]

850 is when you build your PC yourself

[pale vector]

So I see this a lot and just want to say me and everyone else I know with a console don't pay the fees to play online, we pay the fees for all the games that come with the service. And that is a really good deal

[zenith fractal]

it's either refine it or store waste

[ivory condor]

I gave up on ficsonium, not worth it, problem fixed

[zenith fractal]

that's a bitboring, we can prolly have new content using plutonium.

[ivory condor]

See if you don't try to deal with a problem, its not a problem anymore

[silk ocean]

So what fee are you paying? i.e. you don't actually own the games?

[zenith fractal]

like even bigger nuke! or we can reprocess it or something or another thingy

nuclear waste I feel is overlooked, we can do more with it.

[versed mesa]

Great its argument morning lmao

[lucid pagoda]

Agreed, maybe a new resource that you make with plutonium waste, with a M.A.M tree that could lead to some neat things

[lucid pagoda]

Amen, imma just make 10k industrial storage containers and forget about it

[zenith fractal]

and in every once is a while, fill your inventory with the waste and launch yourself off the map with a hyper tube cannon and forget about it

[pale vector]

I pay like $135 a year which is around $11 a month. No I don't own the games it's a subscription service, but in terms of value I probably play close to $500 worth of games a year off the service. That seems like a good deal to me

[ivory condor]

Thats the spirit

I find the best way to deal with it, just store, it builds up slowly anyways

[silk ocean]

It's not a good deal at all. This is literally what Reddit has been fighting against for years now. The concept of having to continually pay money to play games is ridiculous. If you care about actually owning stuff that is. The concept that you stop paying and you have no games anymore is ridiculous imo

[pale vector]

So you think it's a better deal to pay $500 over $135?

[silk ocean]

Well if you're literally spending 500 bucks a year on Triple-A and you ditch them after 30 hours then maybe

This stuff exists on Steam too - like EA Play

[pale vector]

Also consider it like Netflix/Hulu. Is it a bad deal to pay them for tv shows/movies you down't own?

[silk ocean]

You can pay a monthly sub to play EA games for example

[ivory condor]

I think it only makes sense if you playing enough games every year to justify the cost, which isnt going to be true for every one

[silk ocean]

It's not a great situation needing a sub and internet to watch your fav movie that gets removed at random in the future

[ivory condor]

I think the general train of thought people aren't going to be playing nearly as much, so the yearly cost is usually not worth it vs outright owning the games you play anyways

[pastel hedge]

I’m about to hit the switch to turn my nuclear power plant on

If my grid goes down again, I’m gonna crash out and then I’m gonna log off cause I’m too tired for this

[silk ocean]

What does this mean on the PS Store?
"PS Plus required for online play"
That is ludicrous in PC land, the concept you have to pay a subscription to play online? Correct me if I am wrong

I feel sorry for console gamers, you're at the mercy of some megacorp that can and probably will crank up prices just so you can play online, it's a bad situation imo xD

[feral geyser]

PC master race, bitches

console peasants

[silk ocean]

Now now no wars here xD

[feral geyser]

too late, shots fired

[silk ocean]

Cruise Missile dispatched

All I'm really saying is that I'm failing to see the use-case for owning a console anymore, after my recent discoveries

[feral geyser]

imagine having to pay to have access to games you already bought to play online with other people over internet you already pay for

couldn't be me

[silk ocean]

Blows my mind

[feral geyser]

also, DVD and CD physical media supremacy

[silk ocean]

I have quite a lot of physical media for things I really like, I don't mind digital distribution, theoretically Valve Corporation could "go bust" but the liklihood of that is basically zero

[cunning siren]

Woh, Quartz is pretty far for the NW Grassy start 🤔

[silk ocean]

Every starting zone has some materials that are far away

Start in the Desert north-east.. All is happy.. UNTIL Alumina

Bauxite? Get your weapons and spider-sense. Yo goin' Swamp

[dense violet]

Plutonium was made so people could do the nuclear chain without waste.

Them people who couldn’t stop themselves from burning plutonium bitched about it. Let them suck up the pain

[silk ocean]

You can still sink if you go down the Plutonium -> Fisconium route, but once you go down that route you are committed xD

[feral geyser]

i mean, fission has to end in something inert eventually

[silk ocean]

Only so much energy in dat green stuff xD

Love it how everyone associates nuclear with green. There's no green in nuclear as far as I'm aware xD

[ivory condor]

pc master race

[silk ocean]

I personally try not to "stand above" in that sense - console is just a choice, a technology, it works for some people. I generally just try to look at the facts

I'm certainly not suggesting that PC is an easy route - you need the knowledge and skill to build, to maintain, to install software. It's certainly not as plug and play as a console

[ivory condor]

Or the money to buy a laptop, those are usually more expensive than making a desktop though

[silk ocean]

I'd never recommend a laptop

[ivory condor]

Laptop = money pit XD

[silk ocean]

Yep xD

[ivory condor]

xD

[silk ocean]

Expensive, under performing, tiny screen, laptop no thank you XD

[zenith fractal]

is spite truly an excuse for wasted potential?

[ivory condor]

I have 17" laptop btw with a 13900hx rtx 4090 XD

[silk ocean]

What happens with nuclear in this game is that you build it, and then you pass Go, Collect the card, and proceed directly to Fuel generators and never look back XD

[ivory condor]

The thing with laptops if you want decent performance, its either go big or go home XD

[wintry carbon]

big day today, v.1.2 coming soon !

[ivory condor]

you do know 1.2 isnt until next year right?

[silk ocean]

17" is so tiny it's like looking at a postage stamp

It's like gaming on the LCD display on your AIO xD

[ivory condor]

Well 18" laptops also exist to

[silk ocean]

Oh another inch of tiny, yay xD

[ivory condor]

well....

some rare 21" were also made but those arent that common

[silk ocean]

I'm going to buy a 21" monitor
-> said nobody ever XD

At least in recent years xD

I'm assuming that isn't a real 4090, it's like the laptop edition

[ivory condor]

correct its a desktop 4080 chip with the performance of a 4070ti

aka more nvidia marketing bullshit😇

[silk ocean]

Similar story for that CPU xD

[ivory condor]

look I don't make up this god awful terrible naming....

[silk ocean]

nvidia marketing department are sneaky xD

[ivory condor]

and dirty

[silk ocean]

XD

[ivory condor]

because calling something a 4090 when it isnt even close.....yeah

[silk ocean]

My 4090 pulls about 550W, a laptop would be a 3 mile island... i.e. melt through the desk XD

Turn into a puddle of molten plastic XD

Is it this? https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-rtx-4090-mobile.c3949

TDP 120W... what XD

[ivory condor]

yes but the TDP is wrong, its 150w+25w dynamic boost

maybe some laptops are designed at 120w, the one i have isnt though

[silk ocean]

I can see why even at 175W TDP it's basically a 5060 xD

[ivory condor]

Not allowed and yet posted anyway XD

[ivory condor]

XD

yeah thats weird...the bot was activated but didnt delete it XD

you know maybe that could be considered a issue, it did say it was not allowed

[silk ocean]

"can be configured between 80 and 150 Watt (+ 15 Watt Dynamic Boost from the CPU)"

From the CPU... spicey

Bot was confused XD

Existential URL crisis

[ivory condor]

I don't want to spam but I want to see something

https://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-RTX-4080-Laptop-GPU-Benchmarks-and-Specs.675174.0.html

perfect XD

the bot is having a moment I guess....

[silk ocean]

Bot is like - can't post that let me visit and see, oh it looks legit, ignore me XD

[ivory condor]

idk what the bot is doing to be honest....

[silk ocean]

Trippin'

The bot is behaving like the UK government - can't make a decision xD

[feral geyser]

stop copying me

[silk ocean]

Does the bot still add coupon if you say coupon

Well it's not entirely broken then XD

[ivory condor]

that info is actually wrong, its +25 Watt

[silk ocean]

Seems info is wrong everywhere XD

[ivory condor]

yeah....the 4080 has that information right at least

[silk ocean]

"60 and 150 Watt (+ 25 Watt Dynamic Boost from the CPU)" for the 4080 Laptop Edition on that site

[tough trellis]

Automated super computers 😄

tomorrow: ionized fuel

[silk ocean]

Not too hard if you're already making rocket fuel and power shards

[tough trellis]

and massive amounts of mid game power

cant make power shards without time crystals, I dont have those yet. I also dont have rocket fuel automated yet, my fuel generators are running on turbo

[silk ocean]

Will be quite a lot of work in that case xD

[tough trellis]

I think itll be fine, getting aluminum set up was a fuggin hassle tho

although I do have MASSIVE amounts of it now

so. much. aluminum

im not even using all of it

[zenith fractal]

my suggestion is get nitric acid set up to turn the turbo at that one place into rocket. also have a lot of batteries for that power drought and turn off factories to save power for the conversion

[silk ocean]

Prob best is to build a rocket fuel power plant first, then you can tap some off, package it. As far as Power Shard production, you need the alt recipe and late-game tech

Automating Ionized Fuel is relatively late-game

[zenith fractal]

then with the more efficient rocket fuel expand that one place

it's risky though'

[tough trellis]

I dont have any power switches on my factory nor do I have batteries, so what I think Im gonna do is go to two pure nodes ive located and build a new power factory there

[zenith fractal]

that's good too

[tough trellis]

I have an efficient spaghetti factory, nothing is centralized yet

the individual parts were pretty neat... until I got to phase 4...

[zenith fractal]

phase 4 is the largest leap in the game imo

[tough trellis]

then I became an opportunist, setting up complicated crafts where I happened to have a majority of the components

[zenith fractal]

phase 5 is easier if you properly set up 4

[silk ocean]

Yea would agree that 3 -> 4 is a big leap. 4 -> 5 not so much

[tough trellis]

well the qol things you get from milestone series 8 is amazing

[ivory condor]

4080 mobile is a odd gpu, because its a slightly cut down 4070ti, i suspect nvidia is using defective 4070ti for 4080 mobile but cant be totally sure

[tough trellis]

im just not quiiitethere yet

[silk ocean]

I would imagine so, there is loads of binning going on in general

[tough trellis]

im gonna download that storage container item teleportation mod. Cant wait till drones, dont want spaghetti

Honestly, I deserve it

[zenith fractal]

what if, train?

[tough trellis]

I COULD do the trains... I just feel like it would be another form of spaghetti

[zenith fractal]

multiple trains can have an intersection, train spaghetti is a thing but much more manageable than conveyors imo

only thing bad about trains is learning signals

I just like trains

[stark bear]

Does anyone know what time Satisfactory comes out on PS5 today?

[silk ocean]

#announcements

[stark bear]

Thanks a lot

[ivory condor]

its automatically converted to your local time btw

[silk ocean]

But not the wording which is still saying "TOMORROW" xD

Assuming you live roughly east of Nevada xD

Otherwise... plot twist. it is TOMORROW xD

It's basically in 6 hours
