satisfactory

[dim cradle]

Although you'll also use 4x the energy doing it

[dense violet]

if you have a fast enough belt speed.
which for most of the tiers you won't.

[dim cradle]

yeah you might break them into two anyway

[dense violet]

in a lot of instances that way 4 impure can be worth more than 1 pure

[dim cradle]

Well in those tiers you're also going to probably be more power limited

so just overclocking 4 miners is also a bit of something

[dense violet]

you can easily make tons of power as soon as you unlock coal

power is easy and effectively unlimited

[dim cradle]

if you're willing to build that many sure

and bring that much coal in

[dense violet]

if 3 more machines is hurting your power supply your core problem there is power my good pioneer.

no need to 'bring in' plenty of coal you can burn on location.

[dim cradle]

Not if you're not near water there. I'm just saying it all has an opportunity cost, either way

[charred sandal]

Weird. I got a pop up saying my link wasnt allowed but then it disappeared.

Did my comment get deleted? Because I can still see it

[dim cradle]

I don't think I can see it

Depending on what it was

[charred sandal]

.

[dim cradle]

Oh that one, no I saw that

[charred sandal]

okay. weird that Id get a pop up saying its not allowed but it didnt get deleted

Am I supposed to delete it lol

[dense violet]

almost all coal is next to water
every start zone has at least 1 or 2 spots nearby that has 3-4 coal nodes right on water.

[dim cradle]

I'm... actually not sure if the one in the desert is really near water. It technically is but idk if water extractors can go into something that shallow 🤔

[dense violet]

you cannot make an argument saying that using 4 machines vs 1 machine is a real hinderance when the 'problem' youre describing would stop you from doing anything with the materials you've mined

[indigo bronze]

text size on console is not great
i have astigmatism so its hard for me to focus on small text ):

[dense violet]

what are you going to do when you need to build 10 constructors or something afterwards? You need the power.

[glass pagoda]

Fixit felix broke my factory

[dense violet]

there's 2 other spots in the dune desert that is right next to the ocean. Solid for power

the 2 nodes in the upper left would be a bit awkward for power sure. But still doable

[dim cradle]

They're both impure and I think they're in sort of tight space if you mean the ones near that bridge

so you can do something with them but you'd probably also have to overclock them which would defeat part of the power you're making with them (not by much granted)

[glass pagoda]

I put railings around the nodes i haven't used yet and it looks like an archeological site

[dense violet]

yeah, as mentioned, a bit awkward. The two otehr spots I mentioned though are pretty great

[glass pagoda]

😄

[dim cradle]

Very far, to the point where you'd be making quite a journey early game for them, but yeah I guess?

[dense violet]

once you've unlocked phase 2 you gotta move a bit unless you decide to make your main spot on top of your power. Which isn't a great option imo.

keep power and factory seperate

but they're within safe zones and don't need real exploration gear to get to

Hannah made the map very deliberately

[dim cradle]

To me it's just more time efficient to make one thing around a pure instead of trying to grab 4 impures and use more power to use them tbh. Even if I'm not using the full belt, just less to mess with. Later game it's just one thing to upgrade, too. But it's all preference.

[glass pagoda]

Hannah stole my child

[glass pagoda]

4 impures makes a huge mess

My 4 pure iron next to my base makes a lot of lag

[dense violet]

you probably didn't deserve them

[dim cradle]

Now the thing that really baffles me is like... I'll be exploring on my skybridges and crap

[glass pagoda]

🙁

[dim cradle]

and I'll see this one copper or something on top of a huge pillar surrounded by later game enemies.

[frail tundra]

Hi, Is it possible to change our keybinds on console? Because I'm currently on PS5 and when I go into the shortcuts menu and select a button, nothing happens.

[dim cradle]

Go to look at it, it's an impure one...

[glass pagoda]

Tasty

[dim cradle]

Like why make such a hard to get to source be a bad one lol

[dense violet]

punishment for sky infrastructure

that node would have been pure if you hadn't used it

[glass pagoda]

Nodes are all pure in heart u just have to get them to open up

[dim cradle]

The people only took to the skies because the ground had become unlivable

Due to coal plant pollution

[glass pagoda]

Alr papa

[dim cradle]

I have so many buildings just littering the factory with nothing hooked up just because I don't remember the recipes while I'm making a new line so they're just there for me to dial them into

[sharp basin]

Pure nodes matter a lot?

[ornate saffron]

you get more per miner. i think it helps a lot

[white dawn]

Just convenience. Normal produces 2x the rate of Impure, and Pure produces 2x the rate of Normal

But if you've got, for instance, four Impure nodes in an area, that's the same thing as one Pure node. The only real difference is powering multiple miners, of course, which in the early game could add up

[dense violet]

in general you're limited by your belt speed so they are often not much different to normal nodes

for most of the tiers anyway

just look at the game in terms of items per min you can extract. It really doesn't matter about purity

[brazen wraith]

Base rate for impure is 30/min, doubles with each level of purity as well as each tier of miner, so pure with tier 3 miner would produce 480/min, and a tier 2 would produce 240/min, etc

[shrewd palm]

300 with the mk3*

i really like mk3 miners because they make everything multiples of 300

fully overclocked anyways

wait i cant read, ignore previous messages

[dim cradle]

So do valves prevent any backflow at all in the other direction

[shrewd palm]

they make it so that liquids wont be able to pass backwards through the valve

[dense violet]

this, however, doesn't stop sloshing or back flow

[dim cradle]

good

[dense violet]

in general, just don't use valves.

[barren arch]

any tips for phase 3?

[shrewd palm]

dont get lazy and use buffers to deal with byproducts

[dim cradle]

I'm setting up aluminum and I have it split into two systems where they're using 300 water each and creating 180 water each

[dense violet]

yup, valves are a bad option

[dim cradle]

I brought a single pipe of 480 water down and want to split it into two

so I'm thinking of using valves so I don't actually link the two systems

[shrewd palm]

thats what i did and it worked just fine

well something like that anyways

[dense violet]

it's an unreliable method and back flow still happens

[dim cradle]

Actually I'll set each of these valves to 239.9 just in case lol

[sharp basin]

Important question that might make me restart the game, I’m sure I misunderstood BUT slime slugs : kill them or not? I’ve been ||spoiled they’re part of a very important farm mechanism later on|| and I don’t wanna mess that up (I’ve picked a white one)

[shrewd palm]

go to the mam and check out the power slugs tree

that is exactly what you're supposed to do with them

[dense violet]

there's basically nothing in the game that you can do that locks you out of content. Seriously, don't stress about it

[patent oracle]

Do i have to build every buildings wall by wall or there are like building already made that i can build with materials ?

[dense violet]

you can make blueprints

[shrewd palm]

theres the zoop build mode that lets you build 10 things in a straight line

and as said blueprints

[patent oracle]

Im new to the game, I mean not just 10 things, but like an entire building like the exterior of the factory, bc i saw the big factory of the loading screen but im too lazy to build something that big

[kindred fulcrum]

Damn I just downloaded it on xbox and already feel so dumb. Is this just trial and error basically?

[dense violet]

yes, you can create blueprints that plop down a whole section of building

[tough trellis]

is sulfuric acid used for anything except for encased fuel rods?

[shrewd palm]

more or less

[kindred fulcrum]

Fair

[dense violet]

read the info on what you have available to you

recipes tell you how much they need, belts tell you how much you can move on it

[brazen wraith]

Yes. Learn as you go, don’t worry about messing up. Organization and efficiency will come later

[shrewd palm]

you can watch youtube to sort of get a bit of an idea of what other people are doing but i wouldnt do that after you feel like you have a good understanding of how to play the game

[patent oracle]

Okay,but do i have to make the entire building myself? Like to imagine it?

[shrewd palm]

its supposed to be your factory after all

[shrewd palm]

yes

[dense violet]

yes. you didn't really look into this game much before buying it >.>

[shrewd palm]

batteries

[brazen wraith]

Yeah, definitely don’t watch kibitz and feel like your factory has to occupy half the map before phase 2

[tough trellis]

ty. Also how do you untouch grass? xD

[sharp basin]

@shrewd palm I mean, it’s about keeping their « carcass » or not killing them at all?

[glass pagoda]

You dont have too just find your own playstyle bro I'll be real with you ive been playing for 88 hours and I dont know what the heck.im doing im just going with it

[dense violet]

huh?

[glass pagoda]

I mean obviously ive learned but still

[kindred fulcrum]

I watched YouTube alot for advise for years. I thought I'd breeze through the beginner stuff but im stuck at getting everything moving ya know?. Power is off and on. Belts are to full and moving at snail speed. Maybe I just need a break. Come back tommorow

[sharp basin]

Slimes slugs

[dense violet]

yesss... they're just items you pick up and can process. Thats it.
there's many hundreds on the map

[shrewd palm]

yeah for tips and stuff by all means go ahead, just dont compare yourself to people that have thousands more hours than you do

[shrewd palm]

it all started back in covid when i first touched grass. it was terrible and i swore that i would never let anyone else experience the same pain that i did. i now give therapy sessions to help people recover from touching grass

[brazen wraith]

Only thing I would say is get coal power asap, biomass suckssss

[glass pagoda]

If belts are full then use splitters

[shrewd palm]

keep them in your inventory, you use them for researcj in the mam that will unlock overclocking

[kindred fulcrum]

Yeah your right. I tend to get discouraged when I see those massive builds

[glass pagoda]

Research is very important

[shrewd palm]

i take inspiration from them sometimes

but doing curves for like 50 hours straight requires more patience than i have

[dense violet]

also don't confuse 'massive' with 'good'

not only because a lot of what is 'good' is subjective to you.

I've seen how Kibitz does his piping.

[glass pagoda]

If you wanna explode stuff and progress then you need research

[shrewd palm]

the mam is honestly as important as the space elevator/hub progression

[glass pagoda]

We should ask my local plumber

[dense violet]

it would be much funnier if fluid dynamics in the game were like that of real life

watch everyone's systems explode

[snow dew]

is sliding a thing on the console version of the game or nah?
I haven't been able to trigger it

[glass pagoda]

Guys would you rather restart ur factory and build it in red forest or explode

[shrewd palm]

i would teach the red forest fauna that this is my forest and they need to get out

[novel quail]

I know everybody’s been saying this but what is happening? I j bought the xbox version and it keeps crashing off rip after I connect to epic

[shrewd palm]

the swamp on the other hand

[shrewd palm]

its a known issue but i dont think anyone really knows whats happening

if i had to guess its something with epic (as usual)

probably doesnt like you using something other than the epic launcher or something

[glass pagoda]

Only 4 mins in wow u actually have a life

[sacred summit]

[shrewd palm]

untrue!

[glass pagoda]

Uh oh

👁
👅
🦵

[shrewd palm]

my top 5 on steam make up 5700 hours of which 700 are on this game

and there are somehow people out there that have 5700 on satisfactory

[glass pagoda]

This is Timmy

🎩

🦵

Do you like timmy

Everyone who is playing satisfactory but not chatting say hi to timmy

[onyx yew]

Can u have different worlds

[glass pagoda]

Yees

[onyx yew]

like if i want one for me and other for me and my friend

[glass pagoda]

Yes

[dense violet]

just have more saves

[onyx yew]

alr thx

[dense violet]

create new starts. easy

[sharp basin]

So I DO recolt them but do not use them until later?

[sacred summit]

is 65 triple-overclock fuel generators excesive?

[shrewd palm]

please just place down a mam and look at the "power slugs" tree

[shrewd palm]

it may seem like it but that is actually incredibly small

[sacred summit]

concern

[shrewd palm]

if you use fuel generators as your main source of power for the endgame you're gonna have like 5-800

not overclocked but you get the idea

[sacred summit]

ic

[onyx yew]

when i make a new world, in the multiplayer section when i put the session type on steam it says conncetion to steamworks required, what does that mean

[shrewd palm]

steam set itself to offline maybe?

[sacred summit]

so basickly 65 can mabye get me through phase 4

[shrewd palm]

should be enough yeah

you'll want to upgrade a little bit for phase 5

and if you make a lot of particle accelerators you will definitely want more

[sacred summit]

Icic

[onyx yew]

i reset and its fine thx

[sharp basin]

So small ore respawn?

It was a small sulfure ore

But there are infinite sulfure ores?

[dense violet]

actual resource nodes never run out

[sharp basin]

Yeah but I mean Sulfure is one of them?

[dense violet]

sulfur nodes exist yes

[sharp basin]

Caterium nodes too?

[forest mirage]

Guys are foundations like absolutely necessary? I've already placed so much stuff in would need to pick them all up and re place everything. Is it worth it?

[dense violet]

anything used in automation has nodes.

[dense violet]

nescesary? no.
insanely useful? yes

[tall lantern]

they're useful, but usually no reason to tear down an existing factory. Just take it as a lesson for the future.

[tough trellis]

any ore/gas/oil has nodes

and geysers

[forest mirage]

Okay maybe my 2nd outpost I'll do foundations.. it just looks so yucky without them 🤣

[glass pagoda]

They should add gold

[tall lantern]

build a box around it

hides the ugly and gives you a new floor to build on

[forest mirage]

Okay yes thank you!

[hard ivy]

We have gold at home

[tall lantern]

or just let it hang loose as a reminder of your early sins

[glass pagoda]

We're never going back home

[dense violet]

Welp, Automatons got new flying destroyers on their maps.
Time to dive some hells.

[shrewd palm]

time to hell all over my divers (im not playing the game until the fix the pc nuking)

[dense violet]

gl pioneers, may managed democracy hold you

pc nuking?

[shrewd palm]

theres something that goes on with the anticheat that can very rarely cause it to brick pcs

and because its a kernel anticheat sometimes in those pc brickings it actually breaks hardware

[zenith pecan]

Wtf!

[dense violet]

that sounds implausible

[shrewd palm]

ik but its happened

from what it sounds like only super high end systems are really at risk but even though im not at that point its not a risk i want to take

[peak wasp]

I thought that was another game

[glass pagoda]

I'm gonna make a skate park for my fixit cart

[tall lantern]

yeah that's quite a common build once you unlock those and the halfpipes

[glass pagoda]

I'm gonna get some patterns to make it look like graffiti

[shrewd palm]

darn i forgot to put one of those in my base

there is a giant hole that leads to nowhere i could use but thats a hole i'd rather leave uncovered because it looks cool

[glass pagoda]

I have a dell laptop so it cant handle much

Like I only have a medium factory and its alr lagging the slightest

[hard ivy]

"a dell laptop" spans like 2 orders of magnitude of performance

[glass pagoda]

It's specialized for gaming

OH nvm now its rlly running

[sinful talon]

not sure what's going on with my trains but when I set a train to fully load and it only picks up a partial load to fully load the train doesn't move. I have to cancel docking and it will begin moving again.

[sharp basin]

Should I mark all nodes on my map guys?

[shrewd palm]

no reason not to but you can always just scan for more whenever you need them

and theres a website called SCIM that can show you where all the resources and stuff is on the map if you want that too

[tall lantern]

for a first-time run I'd avoid the map, but it is very handy for later runs

[shrewd palm]

yes

[dense violet]

if you need to to keep it organised

SCIM has been mentioned but it is a 100% map and exploration spoiler

[sharp basin]

Nop I’ll avoid that

Keep as spoiler free as possible

[civic reef]

i spotted a youtube comment somewhere saying that the junctions are actually directional and that you should align your weld lines along the main flow

can anyone verify the validity of this?

[sharp basin]

I wondered about slugs because I was afraid of missables

[shrewd palm]

yes but its a bug

i dont really know exactly what it does but iirc it can mess up the priority of the flow

[civic reef]

wild

[sharp basin]

So NO missables?

[shrewd palm]

should be fixed in 1.2 i think

[dense violet]

you don't actually need to do this

[split trench]

Could you share the link to the YT video?

[shrewd palm]

yeah theres nothing you can grab that you wont be able to automate later (other than artifacts but theres enough of those)

dont be afraid to use somersloops and mercer spheres and you will get a lot more

@stone mist #screenshots message just different names for console/pc i think

on pc at least they're called hand slots

[stone mist]

I look at them as Tool belt/hand slot, its basically what it is. but yeah, 3 of the research points do not actually unlock anything.

[civic reef]

bro i cant remember which one it was

[sharp basin]

@shrewd palm Apparently friendly doggos can even bring you slugs?

[split trench]

aight no worries, if someone can link me the video I would like to take a looksie 😄

[dense violet]

yt videos on pipes are rarely good advice

[shrewd palm]

you get 3 equipment slots from the mam and either 1 or 2 from the tier progression for a total of 6 (i cant remember how much you start with)

[stone mist]

I know. I am saying that some of them do not unlock anything, they do nothing at all.

[civic reef]

good to know

[sinful talon]

Start out with 1 get 3 handslots through the mam and 2 through the hub in tier 0 HUB upgrade 1 and tier 3 enhanced asset security

[shrewd palm]

yeah

im not sure why they arent getting them from the mam because you should be

[nova igloo]

Lizard 🦎

Doggo

[sinful talon]

save and restart the game?

[shrewd palm]

worth a shot

[sinful talon]

I know the final recipe for tier hard drive recipes you gotta restart the game to get it.

[shrewd palm]

they worked for me (pc) and i havent heard of anyone else complaining about them on console

[hard ivy]

Afaik a bug related to onboarding. Skipping and doing the onboarding gives a different number of slots (one gives more than it should, don't remember which one), and then the game puts you back on track by not giving you the first few upgrades you unlock if you got too many from the start

[shrewd palm]

ahh

[grave socket]

I tried with my account linked and unlinked, it didn’t seem to help

[shrewd palm]

is it new or has it been around for a while

[hard ivy]

In the end both end up with 78 inv slots and 6 hand slots

[hard ivy]

Since 1.0 or 1.1 I don't remember

[split trench]

1.1

[split trench]

oh you mean the game crashes the moment you press login to epic, regardless of if you have already linked or not?

[gentle narwhal]

asking here cause it isnt a crazy question- does the ficsit checkmark actually do anything

[shrewd palm]

it reminds you that FICSIT is always watching and any time wasted will not be tolerated because FICSIT does not waste. Humanity must be saved

[grave socket]

Yes, I had my accounts linked, and it was crashing, then it just didn’t work when I unlinked it

[gentle narwhal]

this answered perfectly ty

[split trench]

ah I see, thank you for the info. I hope to see a report where it crashes for someone who has not linked their epic account before.

[grave socket]

I’m going to try again in case I did something wrong (Somehow), I’ll be right back with the outcome of that

[shut quiver]

Do we have a possible e.t.a of when this crashing bug will be fixed by chance? Cause me and my friends are waiting to play together on xbox

[split trench]

Hard to give any estimates unfortunately, its because right now its like 2 am in sweden and folks will start looking into it tomorrow -> investigate , make a safe fix and go through platform certification. But can assure you this will be one of the top issues we will focus on addressing.

[patent oracle]

Is there a convoyer that sort items by their types?

[shut quiver]

Thank you. I can't wait to do more with my friends

[grave socket]

Yeah, it still crashes, hopefully this could be fixed soon however!

[shrewd palm]

you can research smart and programmable splitters in the mam that let you split different kinds of items off belts

they're in the caterium tree

[patent oracle]

And can i tell it to like put 2 or 3 differents items together ? And the other items in another way?

[shrewd palm]

you can with the programmable splitter

the smart splitter allows one setting per output, programmable allows multiple

[patent oracle]

I play on console and just sometimes the game freeze for a second and then continue, is it normal?

[dusk palm]

when is the 1.2 update coming out?

[shrewd palm]

kind of hard to tell because its only been out for a little bit

on pc it doesnt really stutter unless you're placing down large blueprints

[patent oracle]

Like, it always run really well but just at some molents i got freezes

[shrewd palm]

most likely early next year

[dusk palm]

thank you

[shrewd palm]

wouldnt be surprised if it came out some time around christmas tho

[patent oracle]

Do the game get updated often?

[sacred summit]

If i do like 2 depots on one item it wont like interrupting each others upload right? Like it'll got at 240/m each?

[shrewd palm]

1.0 came out a little over a year ago and 1.1 in june this year, so sort of?

[split trench]

Does it happen when you bring out a building hologram or just when you move around?

[shrewd palm]

not as much as full live service games but definitely not at all

[shrewd palm]

240 per depot

[sinful talon]

is there more hard drives on the map then alt recipes?

[shrewd palm]

yes

i dont know exactly how much but you've got a lot of headroom

[sinful talon]

Is the devs planning on using those extra hard drives at any point?

[shrewd palm]

no idea

might be handy for an eventual dlc but whatever they add in that (if they do that) should cover itself

[swift void]

I’m going to sounds like a beggar and I don’t want that. But this game looks amazing and I’m a little short on funds. Anyone want give the gift of this amazing game to me on PS5. I understand if no but pls….

[sinful talon]

If you buy the game for me on PC

[dim cradle]

There we go, 270 alclad aluminum/min. Now I can replace every track with them...

[swift void]

I mean I have steam credit

[sinful talon]

then get a PC

[shrewd palm]

mk5 goodness

[swift void]

We’re u fucking with me

[sinful talon]

I got all my PC games for free

[sacred summit]

Sweet now I just need to concret to fuel my insane amount of concrete I want now hehe

[dim cradle]

This is why I skipped mk4 (mostly), mk5 is just so easy to make...

[shrewd palm]

debating giving myself more inventory with scim

i can only hold so much concrete in my inventory and the depot aint fast enough

[sacred summit]

Scim?

[shrewd palm]

dont know the exact meaning but its a website

save editor/map and stuff like that

[sacred summit]

Ohh icic

[shrewd palm]

will spoil the whole map and where everything is tho

[sacred summit]

That place

[sinful talon]

does the map editor do circles?

[dim cradle]

Just build more depots

I've got a few going at 240/min and it's hard to run out

[shrewd palm]

i dont know its full capabilities but you can do them in game with a bit of finagling

lots of videos out on youtube

about stuff like that

[sinful talon]

I know I can make circles doing 23 foundations across giving it a 5 degree tick (maybe10?)

[shrewd palm]

you can make circles of any size but you might need infinite nudge to make them clean

the cleanest ones i think are a radius of 5 and 11 foundations

[sinful talon]

mines super clean of 23

[shrewd palm]

definitely more that are bigger but those 2 are probably going to be big enough

[sacred summit]

I think 90 concrete a min wont be able to handle placing 65 fuel gens dang it mabye i should increase it

[white dawn]

They have not confirmed anything beyond not wanting it to be in a "late quarter" next year, which to me means anything up to September or so is a safer bet. They haven't said "early" unless that's new information from basically today

[shrewd palm]

fair

ive seen a couple things but they were not very reputable (twitch chat)

my personal bet is on late feb or march but you never know

fluids simulation might be way worse than it looks

[white dawn]

I'd personally be surprised if it was that early, but time will tell

If they say " hopefully not Q4 next year," (admittedly a paraphrase), even March seems quite optimistic to me. :)

[patent oracle]

Is it normal that all my factory is turned off and my generator tell me that they are still producing energy and there are 1,2MW uses

[shrewd palm]

your consumption probably just made it past your production for a little bit but we dont really know unless you show your power graph

most important thing to do is expand your power infrastructure

[shrewd palm]

true

i guess i dont want it to come too early anyways, probably gonna have subnautica 2 to play

[patent oracle]

Where can i show you?

[shrewd palm]

anywhere you can post a screenshot that isnt #screenshots so probably #math-and-meta or #1038092680493801533

its just painful to try to solve people's problems when juggling between channels

[dense violet]

gen chat is basically teh worst place to solve issues

[shrewd palm]

other than screenshots because you cant even type in there

[dense violet]

except maybe reddit

[dense violet]

... 1 minute between replies but just having images attached? I've had worse trouble shooting experiences with people xD

[snow dew]

ya my friend is having this issue, I created a new epic games account for him & linked his PSN & in its insta crashing on his system even when deleting save data off console & cloud it tries to auto login & it insta crashes.

strangely it does not crash on my system when I login as him, but still only crashes on his system, so not sure what the deal is with that.

[dim cradle]

And then I realized the game had autosave off so it saved none of it when I reloaded a save.

Legit feel like uninstalling

[dense violet]

do you not save before you exit?

[forest mirage]

Can you have a backup biomass burner? Like have 1 powering a machine but then have another biomass burner hooked up to your 1st biomass burner that will only power on when your 1st one runs out? Or can you not do that?

[dense violet]

no they even the burn

[forest mirage]

Ahh I thought so thank you!

[dense violet]

in practice it's generally more covenient to just have all your bio burns hooked up to one grid

they basically are just chemical batteries that discharge as needed

[forest mirage]

Ahh yes I see what your saying. I'm having the problem where I have like 6 power poles and its getting a tad crazy lol

[primal obsidian]

im on a multiplatyer server and i built 2 power plants and there both horrible but occupy all the good resource nodes am i bad teamate

[dense violet]

just try to keep them lined up.
often times having 1 power pole or power socket per machine makes cable management a ton easier

[shrewd palm]

or blueprints with 1 pole

[forest mirage]

Okay yeah im gonna fiddle with this because I think you just saved me a ton of hassle lol

[shrewd palm]

the mk1 power poles are kind of hard to work with tho so you should try and get mk2s as quick as you can

[dense violet]

you're in basically a pre tutorial though, don't stress over much, get to coal power asap

as for mk2 power poles, having 7 cables spidering out in a web generally just leads to more chaos

if you care about cable management anyway

you can just have spider webs everywhere if you're fine with dealing with it

[shrewd palm]

looks clean enough if you press the poles up to machines or do logistics floors with power underneath

[forest mirage]

Okay yeah you guys are geniuses thank you! Saved me so much trouble

[glass pagoda]

How are yall doing

[craggy stream]

I finally understand why the adeptus Mechanicus in 40K believes in “if it works don’t touch it”

My factory functions on hopes and prayers

[turbid merlin]

A lot of things irl does as well

[shrewd palm]

you should make a shrine at the entrance to every factory

pray to the spirit of every machine before entering

[craggy stream]

All hail the omnissiah, the only thing keeping this factory running

[tough trellis]

I just traveled a pipe full of nitrogen for FIFTEEN MINUTES JUST TO GET IT TO SOME OIL NODES

The devs really made me work for that resource

can anyone tell me the most efficient way to make rocket fuel? I know there is the most efficient way with alternate recipes like diluted fuel and turbo blend but I dont remember what it is

[cunning siren]

The ez-mode recipe combos are Heavy Oil Residue + Diluted Fuel + Nitro Rocket Fuel. It eats more Sulfur than default recipe but it's also super simple to setup vs. default rocket fuel

[dim cradle]

I reloaded to get out of a hypertube or something without looking since I'm used to frequent saves. Yesterday I set it to no autosave because some people wanted me to benchmark how their factory runs on my PC, and I didn't want the autosave interfering. Fortunately it only took me ~25 minutes to set most of it back up, even though I'm still kind of tilted.

[dense violet]

you have to define which resource you want to make more efficient

[dense violet]

ah thats why you self kill instead

[dim cradle]

Actually somehow I made it better

[dense violet]

you can play around with recipes with this https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production

[tough trellis]

all of it

[dense violet]

doesn't exist - you replace one type of resource with another

[tough trellis]

hmm... so its basically a bunch of trade offs

[dense violet]

that's what alt recipes are, yes

[shy fog]

option 1: use a blueprint that cheats to make all of it better and faster
option 2: choose which one you sacrifice for the other

[dense violet]

sometiems the trade off with an alt is just complexity water and power, but thats for lower tier items.

[onyx yew]

does anyone know why my coal gens are crashing ( fuse) when im not even reaching the max consum.

[dense violet]

prob running out of coal/water and they dip down

[shrewd palm]

there are a handful of recipes that i think are objectively better but as im sure has already been explained for the vast majority it depends on your situation for whats better

[summer fern]

make sure your water pipes aren't bottlenecking your generators

[lofty compass]

Are you dropping water pressure

[tough trellis]

well all ive done so far is run nitrogen to the two pure oil nodes on the northside of the map in the tidepools

also I dont see the alt recipe for 'nitro' rocket fuel

[cunning siren]

If you plan on "using all resouces on the entire map 100%" efficency matters. If not, go for ez-mode 🤷

[dense violet]

!wikisearch rocket_fuel

[raven axle]

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

[tough trellis]

I do want to be as efficient as possible

[split trench]

Good info, When you logged in your friend's PS account on your console, was it a primary user for your console? Also do you guys know if both consoles are running on same firmware. I know playstation recommends you to get latest firmware to use most of its feature but just double checking.

[cunning siren]

To what end? 🤷 If resources are ample enough where you can be lazy about it, why not do that?

[proper hound]

Pick you flavor of efficiency. Most output from given raw mats? Lowest energy consumption? Least hassle?

[dense violet]

again, which resources are you trading? but as Big said, it's really about which resources you want to transport

[onyx yew]

wdym

[tough trellis]

Oh I have to unlock nitric acid to get access to that alt recipe dont I

[summer fern]

Pipes can only flow 300/min, 8 generators consume 360/min if I remember correctly. Make sure you're not running all the water through one pipe

[dense violet]

also, it's often easier droning in things like gas. N gas tends to be in awkward spots and drones are very convenient for it

[summer fern]

^mk1 pipes to be exact

[tough trellis]

well since I already ran the nitrogen there Im gonna do it where the oil is, but im not sure what other resources are nearby because I havent looked yet

[onyx yew]

wait look in #screenshots

[dense violet]

in general I'd recommend you plan out what resources are where as the first step to any production line 🙂

[cunning siren]

Ahhhh yes! Got Heavy Encased Frame on a re-roll, was just about to make the build for it too with default recipe, eeewww 😆

[dense violet]

how much water pm are you trying to move down 1 pipe?

[summer fern]

If all 8 generators are being fed by one pipe then it won't work

[onyx yew]

how should i fix it

[summer fern]

I forget the command but there's a few designs that you can search up that fix that problem

[onyx yew]

idk

[summer fern]

!wikisearch cg

[raven axle]

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

[summer fern]

Oh there

[dense violet]

first step is to figure it out.

if you are not willing to do extremely basic maths your power systems aren't going to work well

[onyx yew]

oh pump, i got 5

[dense violet]

how much water pm is that?

I don't care about number of machines

[dim cradle]

Actually I guess I didn't make it better, this doesn't make sense to me. I have 540 aluminum scrap flowing into a manifold of 9 smelters which should be taking it and turning it into ingots at 270/min but for some reason it's getting backed up even though I replaced all of the belts and lifts with mk5

At the first splitter...

[onyx yew]

wdym pm

im confused

[dense violet]

per minute

[summer fern]

per minute

[onyx yew]

oh

600

[summer fern]

is there a hidden belt in between splitters or something that you missed

[dense violet]

now how much does your mk1 pipe move per min at most?

[onyx yew]

in 2 pipe connecting into 1 storage

[onyx yew]

ah

[dense violet]

post an overhead image in #math-and-meta it'll be easier to sort out

[onyx yew]

fair enough

[onyx yew]

alr one sec

[dim cradle]

yeah I just fixed it, there was a belt hidden inside of one of the lifts

[charred sandal]

The start of my tileable megafactory :3

i sent it

How does cross play between Xbox and PlayStation work? I cannot get it to work between a friend and I.

[dim cradle]

Hmm... actually the belt flow tracker says around 240-250/min

But the input refiner is going as fast as it can...

Idk if it's just inaccurate

Either that or maybe the manifold just takes a long time to saturate

[dense violet]

belt counters not sujper reliable? 🤯

[dim cradle]

Tracker on the scrap says 540/min solid

[charred sandal]

Not being able to fit 5 refineries sideby side in a bp is a crime

[dim cradle]

My refinery manifold only has 3 because I made it in a mk1

[charred sandal]

your what

[dim cradle]

Refinery... manifold?

Not sure what's confusing about that tbh lol

I see, I think I know what it might be. The manifolds aren't quite filling up because while the train is unloading there is no flow

I guess that's why they suggest buffers, it's not about the cargo bay size, it's that it can't do anything for 30 seconds periodically

[shrewd palm]

its not dead on but its close enough

flickering +/- 5 or 10 or means its what its supposed to be

[tough trellis]

hmm that seems like a design flaw...

[feral geyser]

It's intentional

[dense violet]

buffers for...?

[dim cradle]

train output

[dense violet]

yeah you do need buffers for train output AND input

[dim cradle]

While unloading all the outputs are dead.

[charred sandal]

I think most people suggest to transport packaged liquids via train

fwiw

[shrewd palm]

i actually need to figure out pipes before making rocket fuel again

or anything big with fluids

[hidden spruce]

wen ficsmas?

[shrewd palm]

entirety of december

once again my refineries are filling up on heavy oil residue despite there enough room in the pipes and fuel production for them to not do this

[dense violet]

almost certain has to do with how you're feeding the next step

[shrewd palm]

definitely but this is not something im particularly incline to troubleshoot

[dim cradle]

Yep after adding that buffer box in the pic, I'm making 270/min now. I don't have an input buffer but it doesn't matter because I'm not using the other aluminum

[shrewd palm]

just a quick 20GW setup so i can get a small aluminum setup and some other stuff going until i set up a rocket fuel plant

[dim cradle]

I mean you don't need anywhere near that much to just get some aluminum going

[shrewd palm]

yeah but i'll need to have a bunch of other stuff too

still shouldnt come anywhere near that but the extra headroom is nice

i was really tight on power until i got it set up anyways

[dim cradle]

What I have in that pic gets me 270 alclad/min and I can duplicate that end setup about 4x if I wanted to in front of each of those refineries

well duplicate it 3x, I mean, to have a total of 4x

I honestly don't know how much aluminum casing is used vs alclad

I don't remember this stage at all

[shrewd palm]

you'll end up using a lot more casings

sheets are really only used for belts + a handful of alts

[jaunty jewel]

funnily enough i cant think of any cases other than basic rcu that uses them

[shrewd palm]

used in a lot of alts

[jaunty jewel]

dont know how i have beaten the game twice

[dim cradle]

I guess I could just split it 50/50 and make a line for each

[jaunty jewel]

which are most notable

[shrewd palm]

(i dont remember i havent used any of them for a while)

[dim cradle]

I have this alternate "Alclad Casing"

Since I'm making tons of pure copper ingots might be pretty easy to do

[shrewd palm]

the nuclear pasta in question

[jaunty jewel]

oh yeah theyre used in instant plutonium or whatever right

fmf if you dont use the alt i think

[dim cradle]

What I think is really weird is that there's no alt recipe for sheets lol

wtf's up with that

I was staring at the wiki trying to figure out if I was blind but nope there's just no recipe for alclad sheets

[dense violet]

... you'd just have to look at the alclad sheet page and see the exactly one entry >.>

[dim cradle]

I kept staring at said entry in disbelief

[dense violet]

okiedokie

[dim cradle]

they have so many alts

yet out of all of them not a single one for this basic thing, just seemed weird

[jaunty jewel]

i mean what alts could you have for it

[dim cradle]

well that's already well over 11000 sheets. I guess I put a storage stack a little too high for it...

Idk, what wouldn't you? There's alts for almost everything

[jaunty jewel]

reread question

[sick violet]

hello, is there any way to use mk2 pipes without that terrible print?

[shrewd palm]

not really

maybe with mods

[sick violet]

sad

[dense violet]

make smaller sections of production lines that only need mk2 then.

if you have 1 big system that needs to move 600? just have 2x smaller systems

[dim cradle]

I know what you're asking, and if you think I'm intimately familiar enough with aluminum sheet production to tell you what other ways they could be made, you'd be mistaken. If you are, feel free to correct me.

[dense violet]

you'll have more flexible pipe layouts too

[dim cradle]

but there is an alt recipe for aluminum casing so...

[sick violet]

you are right, but im building big blueprint pipeline to transfer gas from few kilometer away, its 300*8 = 2400 gas, but would be better if 4800

[dim cradle]

_>

[dense violet]

use a drone or something. Or belts. You'd need fewer belts

[dense violet]

N gas compresses 4x when packaged

[dim cradle]

maybe you should just package the gas and train it?

If it compresses that much, one little train with one cargo bay could probably move that sucker in big quantities

[sick violet]

yes, but im already did blueprint parts and they are beautyful

[dense violet]

you do you, all these are options

[dim cradle]

yeah that buffer box is all it took, my alclad is up to a solid 270/min too now

need to buffer the other inputs now sigh

Did we figure out how to play crossplay yet

[dim cradle]

I wonder where the best location for a meat truck kill loop would be at

🤔

Probably grasslands since it's pretty flat

But I would need to synchronize the hypertube so it's in the area where the truck is at when it's running over the spawn

Does explorer do more damage since it's faster?

[shrewd palm]

they all do the same damage i think

or rather all vehicles kill small creatures but not bigger ones

[dim cradle]

so it's about the front side surface area more than anything

yeah grasslands would probably be best, tons of fodder

since I started in the desert I haven't put a single thing over there besides some sky bridges, would be quite easy

I might want drones for fuel transport tho

hella far

[civic reef]

a what now

[dim cradle]

an automated meat factory so to speak

[civic reef]

you can do that?

[dim cradle]

maybe

[zenith fractal]

possibly

[dim cradle]

I would definitely need to know where things actually spawn though

not where they're at when I run over them while making the self driving course

[civic reef]

might not be able to because it is dependant on the pioneer's location

[hollow wyvern]

guys help me i've played for 50 hours in the last 3 days since i got the game

i just played for 30 hours straight and i'm running on straight stress hormones

[cunning siren]

TIME for some high end weaponry and ammunition! This powered... is so... smokeless 🤔

[primal path]

Is this game on Xbox cloud gaming? I haven’t found it

[dim cradle]

You mean their spawn points? I guess you'd need to monitor where they spawn while in the hypertube then

instead

[civic reef]

try running on gay stress hormones instead, they're much more frantic and energizing

but what specifically did you need help with?

[dim cradle]

Pretty sure they were just stating that they'd been up for that long and were now running on stress

Playing this crack

I mean game

this coke steel kind of looks interesting since I'm not using my oil for power anyway

[civic reef]

Im aware, im making a pun

[civic reef]

True, but what else are you going to use the coal for

[dim cradle]

pretty sure there's tons of stuff to use coal on isn't there

[civic reef]

True, like steel

I genuinely can't remember the uses of coal off the top of my head and outside of steel. turbo fuel and rocket fuel, but outside of that I got nothing

[zenith fractal]

diamond

also aluminium

[glass pagoda]

idk if this is same for you but i have not been able to find catiriririram or whatever its called nodes that much

[civic reef]

I never really got too deep into tier nine so I have no idea what diamonds are actually used for

[civic reef]

caterium

[zenith fractal]

funny sci fi recipes

you should go into the later tiers, they are fun

[glass pagoda]

yeah cayayayayaya

anyways why do they seem so scarce

[civic reef]

electrode scrap is hella efficient from what ive been told

[glass pagoda]

like the pokemon

?

[civic reef]

Uranium with 5 nodes, none pure

[civic reef]

like the alt recipe

[glass pagoda]

huh

[dim cradle]

Oh none of the Uranium nodes are pure?

Seems to match up with what I found out while exploring around lol, was like "why are all of them just garbage"

Caterium isn't that scarce though afaik

seems pretty common honestly

[zenith fractal]

only in certain areas

[dim cradle]

If they started out in grasslands, it has a couple of excellent cat sources I think

I guess desert does too now that I think about it, along with a cluster pretty close by

probably intentional

[civic reef]

electrode scrap is an alternative recipe that uses alumina solution and petroleum coke to make aluminum scrap, making 20 scrap per 12 alumina solutions versus the 18 that the default recipe makes

[crimson lantern]

Do I miss out on the other upgrades if I do don't choose them in the Hub?

[zenith fractal]

no

[civic reef]

if memory serves as a total of I want to say 10K per minute on the map?

[zenith fractal]

everything is obtainable

[crimson lantern]

Sweet

Ta

[civic reef]

No, and it is encouraged to obtain literally everything. heavily encouraged. as in you shouldn't be moving on to the next phase until you have unlocked everything in each tier (that's just my opinion)

[crimson lantern]

I can go back?

[shut grove]

was any new 1.2 info dropped in teh streams today?

[dim cradle]

still has a tier 3 tech locked at phase 4

[civic reef]

You can, but I'd advise against it. Each unlock you get on each section of the tier are very nice

[civic reef]

what

[dim cradle]

you can definitely go without doing everything lol

[civic reef]

assuming first playthrough though, I would advise against it

[crimson lantern]

I'm on hub upgrade 5 but it won't let me go back to hub unlock the others, I got the portable miner but I want the +1 hand equipment slot

There are a few you can skip but generally the ones that are skippable are also relatively cheap so it's not worth skipping as they can be handy

[dim cradle]

#screenshots message just a lazy person

[crimson lantern]

I think I'm being an idiot

I think you unlock all the rewards on each milestone

[dim cradle]

to be fair who needs self defense when you have bombs, right

[civic reef]

What is wrong with you. We love the energy stick. We adore the energy stick. anyone not using the energy stick shall be eliminated

All praise the energy stick. All praise to the energy stick

[dim cradle]

Actually I picked up a free energy stick already

was in some crash site

[tough trellis]

that is ABSOLUTELY true

[crimson lantern]

Screw it, sending pics

[dim cradle]

to be fair I'm a weirdo, I had every sloop on the map before moving onto phase 4 lol

Running 100% "clean" sloop and geothermal power here yep

(And those coal plants I'm too lazy to tear down)

@crimson lantern those aren't rewards, those are what you unlock building. Well, some of them are rewards like the inventory space

There's no choosing anything, you just complete them

[crimson lantern]

And when I complete them, I get everything?

[dim cradle]

You "get" it, yes, I guess.

They're just usually buildings you can build

Or access to new resources to scan, etc.

[crimson lantern]

Phew, was worried I missed out

Fomo

[dim cradle]

There's no missing anything in this really

[crimson lantern]

Oh good

[dim cradle]

Unlike Factorio nodes don't run out either so you'll always eventually win

you can just keep piling garbage on garbage, it doesn't matter

[tough trellis]

you might miss out temporarily at times but in the end everything is yours to have

[crimson lantern]

Whoohoo

[tough trellis]

the only thing you could miss out on is power shards by not slooping power slugs

[crimson lantern]

Last question

[dense violet]

whats it for again?

[crimson lantern]

Portable miner, does it work on limestone?

[dim cradle]

Oh yeah slug slooping, forgot that. That's the only one

[tough trellis]

itll work on any ore

[sick violet]

just transport for nitrogen gas

[crimson lantern]

Limestone is a rock

[dense violet]

looks cool 🙂

[crimson lantern]

Or a stone

[tough trellis]

by the way SAVE your power slugs until you unlock the ability to put somersloops into machines

[sick violet]

thanks 🙂

[zenith fractal]

it wwill work on any resource node

[tough trellis]

there are also limestone nodes

[dim cradle]

it looks like a giant revolver lol

[crimson lantern]

No idea what that means lol

[tough trellis]

that you can slap a miner on

[tough trellis]

youll know what I mean later

[dense violet]

slooping is a duping mechanic. So you can dupe your slug production

[tough trellis]

every rock related resource in the game spawns as rocks and as mineable nodes that dont run out, you can place your miners on those. Those are the things you can scan for with v

[crimson lantern]

Slugs are gross

[dim cradle]

tbf, slooping slugs isn't strictly necessary, I think I have like 800 or some overclocking modules and I deliberately leave a bunch of slugs lying around

[tough trellis]

slugs are the way you make big number bigger

[dim cradle]

I could overclock the everloving crap out of everything already even if I had half that...

[tough trellis]

im slooping my slugs right now 😄

that sounds.....suggestive... xD

[zenith fractal]

I cast fully slooped and slugged particle accelerator

[crimson lantern]

Gonna have to take my time learning this lol

[terse bone]

So today's update is the fluid update?

[dim cradle]

Like how late you can get sulfur scanning but you can get it practically at the beginning of the game with research...

[tough trellis]

alright ive researched everything in tier 8. Am I close to implementing the last few things? ABsolutely not

[shrewd palm]

Real

[tough trellis]

so real

Ive barely even automated radios and cooling systems

[shrewd palm]

I did all of tier 9 and then took a 400 hour detour after getting mk6 belts going

[zenith fractal]

no, console port

[jaunty jewel]

radio control unit,,

[tough trellis]

radios 🙂

[terse bone]

my satisfactory did a 12gb update

[zenith fractal]

I like OC supercomputers

[zenith fractal]

whar

[dim cradle]

You can just trickle finish objs if you're lazy anyway lol, I've left my game on all night a few times

[jaunty jewel]

i love them BUT they use CRYSTAL OSCILLATORS and i do NOT like those

[tough trellis]

I like trains

[zenith fractal]

[dim cradle]

I'm making 11 crystal oscillators/min right now because I wanted to put radars everywhere

I succeeded in putting radars everywhere.

[jaunty jewel]

crystal oscillators are the worst thing in the game and i will die on this hill

[dim cradle]

Everywhere.

[tough trellis]

like worst to make or worst item in general?

[terse bone]

posted a screenshot of it. I played last night and today it's done a huge update

[dim cradle]

I dunno though I don't think Crystal Oscillators are that bad tbh, just the yields do kind of suck

[jaunty jewel]

both

[dim cradle]

why do you hate them that much

[dense violet]

they can be made with 2 resources?

[tough trellis]

crystal oscillators are NOT difficult to make xD

[tough trellis]

3

[dense violet]

iron wire

[tough trellis]

oh you meant raw resources

[dim cradle]

Iron wire's pretty inefficient tho.

[jaunty jewel]

i would rather build an entire ballistic warp drive factory making 25 per minute than a single crystal oscillator factory which may seem very counter intuitive as bwd uses oscillators

[dense violet]

in what way?

[tough trellis]

tell that to my 4 pure iron nodes right where I started

[dim cradle]

Doesn't make that much per ingot vs copper. I know that iron is a lot more common but...

[jaunty jewel]

they looked at me funny (the yield pisses me off)

[dim cradle]

I think any iron wire factory is gonna be even bigger than a normal copper wire one

[dense violet]

it's almost the exact same wire per ingot output plus iron is far more commong

[dim cradle]

and I already hate copper wire

[tough trellis]

how far are you into the game?

[jaunty jewel]

ive beaten it twice

[dim cradle]

Actually in terms of things that I personally hate

I hate copper wire. That's it mostly.

[tough trellis]

oh, well thats valid I suppose

[dim cradle]

I hate wire and cable

[jaunty jewel]

i hate quickwire too but crystal oscillators are by far my least favourite thing in the game

[dim cradle]

DESPISE THEM

Throw my glove at them

[dense violet]

this is very simple, and iron wire is a hero in it. You guys are super weird https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production?share=xoHHalTVhxjEJrmedKr8

[jaunty jewel]

i never said crystal oscillators were difficult to make i just absolutely despise them

[dense violet]

... for no particular reason?

[dim cradle]

The wire does nothing even when I throw my glove at it, it's inanimate

I do have reasons I hate wire, but I've already beaten the horse to death on that one earlier

[jaunty jewel]

you need quite a lot of them compared to other manufacturer parts the output is disgustingly horrible

[dim cradle]

I'm thinking about trying insulated cable though that might ease some of my annoyance

[wintry carbon]

how to recover vehicle fallen onto the bottom of the void.

[dense violet]

14 cable pm, 2.5 rips, and 18 crystal is 'a lot vs other manufaturers'?

[jaunty jewel]

proabbly just scim

[pine patrol]

is there any downsides to overclocking in this game?

[dense violet]

uses shards and a bit more power. So not really

[jaunty jewel]

the output is the problem

[dim cradle]

The recipes def don't make much

[dense violet]

1 - 2 pm from a manufactuer is pretty normal >.>

[jaunty jewel]

and like i said you need way more oscillators than hmf or computers for example especially related to how much the output of those parts is

[pine patrol]

so what your telling me is one more input and slightly less efficient?

[dim cradle]

Had to set up a lot of manufacturers to get up to 11/min

[dense violet]

no, same input per unit made. Just uses a bit more power

[pine patrol]

then how exactly would you put the power shard in?

[jaunty jewel]

you need to unlock the ability to overclock in the mam first

[sick falcon]

is there an instant kill plane at the bottom of the map? im trying to rescue a factory cart that is at -500m and i cant reach it before dying

[pine patrol]

and a bit more power would be less efficient unless its exactly the amount it would be per item processed

[dense violet]

they have slots when you open the UI

[pine patrol]

i have it thats why im here

[dense violet]

death wall , not instant though

[jaunty jewel]

power doesnt scale linearly with ocing

[sick falcon]

it seems instant, like theres the damage over time and then it just instant kills after a few seconds in there

[dense violet]

power is effectively infinite and easy to make

if power is a concern your first step should be to make more power

[jaunty jewel]

eg 200% oc water extractor uses 50mw rather than 20mw from 100%

[dense violet]

it does a lot of damage yes

[dim cradle]

tbh most of the time energy concerns from overclocking are greatly outweighed by making the development neater

A lot easier to set up a couple of overclocked refineries than 4 of them or something

[pine patrol]

from what i saw there is a zone where you take small amounts of damage (about 1/5 of a section of health per second) and a good amount past that there is an instant death wall where few things can save you

[sick falcon]

is there any thing at all that can save me? i really want this cart back

[crimson lantern]

Where do i build the miner mk1?

[dense violet]

reload a previous save, or use a save editor

[dense violet]

on top of a mining node

[crimson lantern]

No like, where do I actually find build thingy

[jaunty jewel]

press q to open build gun

[sick falcon]

press q

[pine patrol]

from the invis death wall i think a train would save you until you exit it. But you can easily out heal the previous section if you have inhalers or a good amount of food

tho the train thing might have been patched

[dense violet]

like every other building you build

[crimson lantern]

found it ta, not q on ps5 tho lol

Gotta stop ending each sentence with "lol"

[jaunty jewel]

havent heard someone say ta in ages and im british

[sick falcon]

could i somehow get the factory cart while in the train

[jaunty jewel]

whats so important about this factory cart in particular

[forest mirage]

Can a satisfactory Veteran check screenshots channel and tell me if I'm missing something ?

[pine patrol]

why do you want it so bad the factory carts are cheap asf

[crimson lantern]

Say "Ta" all the time here.

[jaunty jewel]

power lines just go from pole to pole or pole to machine its up to you how you design it

[forest mirage]

Okay so im not doing anything wrong also?

[jaunty jewel]

idk we say cheers in my area of big shithole

[crimson lantern]

We say cheers too, we're a bit of a hybrid here

[kindred hinge]

I am about 2 hours into my world and just getting the hang on things. Should I start putting foundations under everything? Or is that just to make everything look neater?

[shrewd palm]

You should have started that 2 hours ago. They both make building easier and make it neater

[jaunty jewel]

trust me youll need them when it comes to larger scale projects

[dense violet]

it makes it much more convenient to do basically everything

[kindred hinge]

Okay, thank you!

[jaunty jewel]

where abouts are you from

[sick falcon]

me and my friend held a funeral for it like a year ago when we first played the game and sent it into orbit, but we saw that it was still in the map just now and after learning that we can clip through the floor we decided to go on a rescue operation

[nocturne oracle]

^ am friend

[jaunty jewel]

interesting

[pine patrol]

Guys how tf do i unlock Caterium research i have it but like it wont do the thing

i can even scan for caterium

[crimson lantern]

Ignore that. Meant for different chat

[vernal zenith]

Is satisfactory cross play between PC and console and if not, when are we getting cross play?

[pine patrol]

they have said they aint doing cross play between pc and console

[jaunty jewel]

huh

you go in the mam and unlock it?

[pine patrol]

its locked

[jaunty jewel]

wdym

[pine patrol]

wait im dumb asf i didnt see it 😭

[dense violet]

you hae to unlock all steps prior to the next

[pine patrol]

i thought it was the last one

[rustic pier]

cackles Priority power switches and portals! turn them on at a whim!

[sick falcon]

alright after extensive testing and throwing a bunch of trains loaded with nobelsks into the void, we succeeded in knocking the factory cart down another 3000 meters and paralyzing my character on respawn

mission accomplished

[pastel hedge]

My nuclear power plant went down again. I’m gonna fucking crash out.

[rustic pier]

too much waste?

[nocturne oracle]

final mission total:

trains launched into the void: 8
tractors launched into the void: 1
factory carts launched into the void: 40
amount of meters FURTHER INTO THE VOID the oringical cart went: >3000

[dense violet]

gj, you now have a ton of extra things in the void taking up processing power

[nocturne oracle]

like... A LOT of extra things

[dim cradle]

aluminum casing is so easy.... just one overclocked assembler and that's it...

[cunning siren]

Ahhhh, hoverpack feels good

[tough trellis]

pipe junctions have no throughput limit right?

[cunning siren]

One overclocked and assembler

[tough trellis]

so then if I put a junction on an oil extractor, theoretically I can get 1200 out, 600 in each pipe right?

(modded)

because if so Im about to make a STUPID amount of power

[dense violet]

the most you can OC a oil node for is 600

you cannot attach junctions to them

[tough trellis]

as I said, my game is slightly modded

[dense violet]

I mean, if you're using mods you can fart unicorns if you like, so not really a real question

[tough trellis]

I can attach junctions to it AND I can overclock it to 1200 a minute

[dense violet]

paste 20 oil nodes in an area if you like

[tough trellis]

I was just moreso wondering if that was a hard limit within the game

[dense violet]

I highly advise not using mods until you've unlocked all the tiers at least once though

[tough trellis]

I did unlock tier 8 stuff before I modded the game

[dim cradle]

if only 100 of my sloops weren't doing nothing but making power lol

[cunning siren]

Woh, that's a strange choice

[hollow wyvern]

this game is fucking crack cocaine and i do not know how to save myself

this is my ark survival evolved phase part 2

[brave horizon]

Hi I was wondering how I get portable miners?

[hollow wyvern]

equipment workshop

[novel heath]

hello theres a bean in the river and i cant move it even when i shoot it
(crater lake)

[zenith fractal]

lay a nice bed of things that go boom

and send bean on a space mission

[novel heath]

alright thanks

[zenith fractal]

don't mind Ada calling you a monster, what you're doing is efficient.

[sage quail]

already unlocked the chainsaw 😂

today after work I start chopping down the trees LMAO

[tough trellis]

make sure you chop down any big mushrooms you see for mycelia, youll thank me later

AND ONLY USE IT FOR FABRIC, NOT INHALERS

and research

[red thorn]

Pls fix the console epicgames multi player crash issue please bro

[hollow wyvern]

my bad bro gimme 5

i think it's a problem with the way it is

[dusty sparrow]

Doing the tutorial and only have power poles and conveyors in my build menu, is that expected? At Hub Upgrade 6, it's telling me about lots of things I can't seem to build

[hollow wyvern]

Yea stuff is locked at the beginning so you gotta make the resources to unlock it

you also unlock stuff through the MAM and the awesome shop

and the space elevator

[dusty sparrow]

K. Seems weird tutorial design that they are unlocked recipes but not buildable

[hollow wyvern]

Do you mean your hot as

hotbar

[dusty sparrow]

Yeah

And also not in L1

[hollow wyvern]

press Q to build stuff and you can assign hotkeys there

[dusty sparrow]

On ps5

[hollow wyvern]

idk what it is on console

and you have multiple hot bars you can assign but idk how i just started a few days ago

that's just your hotbar not everything you can actually build

[dusty sparrow]

L1 Build Menu

Oh I got it. You have to TAP L1, not hold

Hold just goes to the empty radial menu

I think that will likely confuse many new console players though I do feel like a moron 😂

[feral geyser]

I need this story

Cuz i ain't going back

#satisfactory message
You may have done this to yourself 😭😭

[crimson lantern]

Is there a way to move buildings or do I need to deconstruct first?

[feral geyser]

If it's any consolation, I think the one-week button is the only one they know how to use.

[feral geyser]

Deconstruct first

[crimson lantern]

Damn, can I remake the thingy

The hub

[feral geyser]

Yes, you get all the materials back every time

If they didn't fit in your inventory, the game makes a dismantle crate nearby

[crimson lantern]

Excellent thanks, I'm gonna put everything onto a foundation eventually

[feral geyser]

Always a good idea to do that milestone first and build tons of concrete

[crimson lantern]

Concrete is such a pain lol

[feral geyser]

Also, if you don't like using plates, you can get concrete-only foundations from the AWESOME shop for some tickets (cost 7 instead of 5, but no plates)

[feral geyser]

Yeah, but fortunately setting up concrete outposts isn't too hard, just find every nearby limestone vein and crank it.

[crimson lantern]

Any difference between them besides what they use?

[feral geyser]

They look cooler

[crimson lantern]

Sounds good!

[crimson lantern]

Good idea

[feral geyser]

There are also alt recipes as you get later on that can improve the conversion ratio from 3:1

[crimson lantern]

Oh that's good, i just unlocked the MAM

[feral geyser]

It's a bit of a pain, but if you rush the quartz research chain, you can scan for crash sites using your object scanner.

[crimson lantern]

Is there a map of the world? It'll be helpful

[feral geyser]

There are several, SCIM is one commonly recommended. I don't have the link cuz i don't use it.

[crimson lantern]

Thank you for your help BTW, hope i don't come across as rude.

[feral geyser]

Nah, you good

BTW, is that your spider?

[crimson lantern]

Sweet, I'll keep an eye out, there's a lot in this game lol

[crimson lantern]

Aye, one of my 12

[scenic mirage]

Is crossplay ever coming out? Some ppl on reddit saying it is and some saying its not even possible

[feral geyser]

I love it 🥺 😍

[crimson lantern]

Me too, he's a Grammastola Pulchra (Brazilian black) called Tyrese

[feral geyser]

Woooooww, naming the black spider Tyrese 😒 😭

Shoulda just gone Tyrone 😭 😂

(I tease)

[crimson lantern]

Lol, I've no imagination

[feral geyser]

Apparently it comes from a Latin name meaning "smooth," so it is very fitting for a lovely specimen like him.

[reef basin]

crossplay between consoles is out (though there have been some reports of console multiplayer not working for some people)
between PC and console, we have no idea, anything is but a guess

[crimson lantern]

He's very silky

[feral geyser]

Need pics of all 12 in #off-topic-media when you get a chance 😑

[crimson lantern]

Is biomass better than using leaves?

[scenic mirage]

Aww damn ok my homies in the hospital rn w some spinal injuries and I was thinking of surprising him

[reef basin]

I mean PC has controller support too

[crimson lantern]

I've pics of a few, some are too small to get pics of

[scenic mirage]

He doesnt have a pc tho

[feral geyser]

Yes, and solid biofuel is better than both

[reef basin]

it has more energy if that's what you're asking

[feral geyser]

That's a real homie right there 🫡

[crimson lantern]

Understood, cheers, posted the pics i have

[dim cradle]

Unless you wanna go insane loading leaves into your burners, I really suggest making the densest thing you can

[feral geyser]

I'm in love 😍

[scenic mirage]

He isnt sure he'll ever walk again I wanna do whatever I can to take his mind off it

[crimson lantern]

My children

[feral geyser]

Here's hoping he is able to recover, the human body can do some amazing things sometimes if you hold out for hope.

[scenic mirage]

🙏 he's always been quite physically healthy and fit, last time I spoke with him it seemed like he was upset

[feral geyser]

Everyone send healing thoughts for lazars' homie

[reef basin]

you're not making this better for yourself

[fiery pewter]

Guess I missed something

[versed mesa]

👋

[fiery pewter]

Hi

Ah yes, engrish

[frail sleet]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XebF2cgmFmU

[fiery pewter]

Checking #screenshots every once in a while to remind myself how incredibly bad I am at building/design

[ivory condor]

Hmmm do I actually want to know whats happening here

[fiery pewter]

Best I can do is C U B E

[ivory condor]

I really have no idea whats happening on this server sometimes

[fiery pewter]

You are not alone

[zenith fractal]

tbf you can turn that cube into something glamorous with enough painting and neon lights

[reef basin]

nothing interesting really... just (possibly) drunk flaming of console people got them a tempban

[fiery pewter]

True

[feral geyser]

Inspiration for new designs

[fiery pewter]

But it requires creativity

Which I lack

[feral geyser]

Bruh lmao

[zenith fractal]

then you need inspiration, perhaps look at sci-fi buildings?

maybe even diesel punk or steampunk

[ivory condor]

Hmm that can't be it. I say my opinions all the time and to my knowledge i haven't been banned yet for it

so I feel like there is more reasons beyond a simple opinion

[fiery pewter]

Me getting inspiration=me just copying what I see

[vast shoal]

emmm smh

[feral geyser]

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery

[zenith fractal]

I mean, combine enough different things together and you get something new.

[fiery pewter]

True

[ivory condor]

hmmm do you have any idea what for?

usually bans are for breaking specific rules

huh

[vast shoal]

i heard it because he had webbed feet

[fiery pewter]

You don't "just get banned"

[ivory condor]

yeah there is definitely more to this for sure

[vast shoal]

like a duck

[fiery pewter]

You need to piss someone off really badly to "just get banned"

[feral geyser]

It's literally as greeny said

[reef basin]

I guess your opinions aren't this then 🙂

#satisfactory message
#satisfactory message
#satisfactory message

[feral geyser]

But the fact of the matter is, you are already here again, so you can sit it out and lose nothing, why you complaining?

[vast shoal]

ooooo

[feral geyser]

I got a week a while back and I just sat it out

[ivory condor]

Ahhh I see what your mean, perhaps the 7 day ban was justified after all, thought there was more to this story

[fiery pewter]

Me being mostly a "creative mode" player, I should hop in the modeler again

[feral geyser]

Like I said, I think the one-week button is the only one they know how to use.

[ivory condor]

I mean outright attacking console users, yeah not cool

thats really just shouldnt be in the spirit of this community, definitely not going to support those views

[fiery pewter]

"Child mod"

Pretty sure all the moderators in here are part of the community management team

[fiery pewter]

And then use FAFO

-# f around and find out

[ivory condor]

<@&387163995947270144> Ban evasion going on here

[zenith pecan]

Superfast kick/ban I assume 🙂

[feral geyser]

Bruh 😭 got the double ban

[pine patrol]

tru

back to the shadow realm for them ig

[feral geyser]

Bruh did flashback and still got exiled lmao

[dim cradle]

Was actually kind of weird. They're mostly normal and fine but consoles got them really tilted for some reason.

[feral geyser]

I mean, consoles are peasant PCs

But we don't shame here

[pine patrol]

as a console player i agree

[sleek delta]

i feel silly being the one asking this since i keep recounting how we used to coop prior to ded servers but... how is coop on console? is it basically just caveman everyone has to be available at the same time?

[zenith pecan]

I have no idea tbh.

[vast shoal]

im on pc and im glad i stayed quiet i walked in to something and almost became a victim

[feral geyser]

I don't imagine they have server hosting for consoles yet

[pine patrol]

its day one for console let em have a break a bit

the devs i mean

[sleek delta]

i'm thinking of picking it up to play wit ha bunch of friends and basically being the isekai MC with a ton of experience but having to hide it lmao

[feral geyser]

Exactly

[sleek delta]

but being on the other side of the planet is a problem

[feral geyser]

Just fuck your sleep schedule up

[zenith pecan]

I'm not sure I'd want to try on my Xbox, too little ram for the way I build, I'd start a fire nearby my tv or something 🙁

[vast shoal]

k/m beats controller in free aim every time thooo just saying

[sleek delta]

lmao

valheim with thumbsticks and taking 5x as long to build anything at all

[feral geyser]

Does the console version support k/m?

Or controller only?

[vast shoal]

most consols dont allow k/m

[pine patrol]

there are some really really good console players for every game but the weirdly low max sensitivity games have fuck us over so much

[reef basin]

no support for K/M yet
