satisfactory

[feral geyser]

I mean, they do, Astroneer has full k/m support

[zenith pecan]

The Xbox itself can use kb/m, but that would have to be specifically enabled for the game in question iirc, which I think isn't enabled for satis.

[sleek delta]

i think you need to go through some kind of approval for kb/m?

not sure, been a few years

[dim cradle]

You can at least increase the sensitivity, I have to do it myself when I play with controller on PC

[feral geyser]

kilobits per meter

@hard ivy new unit dropped

[dim cradle]

The default is incredibly slow.

[vast shoal]

yea i was a console player then i got my first PC build and just like that i was hooked and will never again leave the dark side bwahahaha its too much fun

[reef basin]

is that unit of cable density?

[feral geyser]

Idk man, I just work here 🤷‍♂️

[zenith fractal]

keyboard and mouse

[zenith pecan]

PC is alright, but with the constant microsoft overreach, I'm sorely considering jumping to ubuntu.

[sleek delta]

copilot gonna tell you what games to install in a few years 🤡

[zenith pecan]

Copilot was uninstalled within seconds of windows 11 install.

[zenith fractal]

you know what would be so awesome and cool? more train customization.

[feral geyser]

I just hate how I have to "upgrade" to 24H2 now

[reef basin]

10¹¹ kb/m
Each meter of DNA contains about 10¹¹ kilobits of encoded data

[zenith fractal]

please coffee cup studios, i've been a good lad and christmas is around the corner.

[frail sleet]

you're not on 24h2? They unbroke some stuff and made games run avg >10% better

[reef basin]

actually valid unit

[feral geyser]

I guess the time has come

[pine patrol]

me when i look up something and the clanker tells me instead of the white box of answers

[noble tundra]

If I bought the Epic Games version can I get a discount on the Xbox version?

[leaden turret]

no

[reef basin]

"I bought milk in that other store, can I get discount on milk at this store?"

[crimson lantern]

Does the constructor make concrete?

[hard ivy]

It can

[pine patrol]

what?

[crimson lantern]

Ta

[crimson lantern]

What

[pine patrol]

mixed up the build tool and the constructer

[reef basin]

open it and see which recipes it can do

[noble tundra]

Funny, but it's not a consumable, it's the same product released on a different platform. A third time. But I get it, it's the norm in gaming. Not having any cross-play with PC seems like the real problem though

[crimson lantern]

I need to make it first which it would involve me breaking apart my current conveyorbelt system thingy. Figured id ask before I had to do that

[reef basin]

it's not really that deep. Part of the software cost is paying for the service (e.g. Steam/Epic/console store), for download badnwidth and so on. Obviously they are not gonna discount that part (that's what makes them money). So the only other part of money is what goes to devs, do you want discount from that? How do you prove that it's you playing and you're not just buying another license for another person?

[reef basin]

then open codex, info is there as well 🙂

[noble tundra]

I'll still be buying it, I've loved and bought every Coffee Stain game since Sanctum in 2011. Never hurts to ask is all 😊

[ivory condor]

idk, for example can console even handle the same larger save files, even the best pcs struggle on some save files, this would surely be worse on console and hit hardware limits faster?

I mean I can get wanting to have cross play, but I see it more problematic, given the hardware limitations of console

[feral geyser]

Sanctum is legit as fu

my squad and i got all the DLCs for number 2 when they were on sale a few weeks back

"Stellar" is easily in the top 10 of my favorite video game songs

[crimson lantern]

2 questions

Can you get multi levels conveyor belts?

And

Can you get underground conveyor belts?

[crimson lantern]

There's a codex?

[leaden turret]

• stackable conveyor poles
• not in the way you're thinking

[feral geyser]

yes, you can get stackable conveyor poles

[reef basin]

ADA tells you like in first 3 minutes, afaik you even have to open it to continue the tutorial?

[crimson lantern]

Distracted by supernatural

[peak wasp]

#2 is called clipping and don't do that looks ugly and I'm sure it's not good for you

[grizzled orchid]

Or having a logistics floor for #2

[crimson lantern]

Would cool to have a tunnel

[quick barn]

The game runs so well on Series X. Very impressed.

[peak wasp]

@crimson lantern make an above ground one

[stray imp]

hey guys what do you guys use for factory planning

[vapid portal]

I don’t plan😭

[peak wasp]

I don't imagine that there would be a way unless they added dlc of the same thing for people who have it using a code but that would be a headache

[vapid portal]

It ends up a mess either way for me😭

[shut scarab]

exactly

[stray imp]

i get so lost if i dont but i used a website when 1.0 launched but cant find it now

[ivory condor]

I use greenys planning tool

because its objectively the best for planning

[zenith fractal]

satisfactory tools is the one I use, I only use it to map out my line of production. I prefer to do the basic math myself

[hard ivy]

http://satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production

[eternal delta]

Im going to lose it.... every machine i have overclocked this week has used a 167 boost... i cant get away from the brainrot

[feral geyser]

why not 169? 😏

fun fact: 69 = 6*9 + 6+9

[shy mulch]

just be thankful we can't overclock to 420%

[eternal delta]

Atleast im geting a golden cup

[hard ivy]

Idk why you'd ever overclock anything to anything other than 250%

[shy mulch]

some people like to play more efficiently

[hard ivy]

Then leave everything at 100%

[shy mulch]

Or 1%

[wild flax]

I was happy to see the game on the Xbox store

But the price is lil too much

Or at least put a discount because it just got out for Xbox

[hard ivy]

It's the same as on PC 🤷‍♂️

[shy mulch]

It seems very good value to me. Save some money and buy it

[wild flax]

Iam not saying it isn't iam saying I should probably be on a discount

[wild flax]

I wanted to buy arc raiders as well

Idk what to do man I can't buy both in a month

[feral geyser]

buy the better one

aka, this one

[mellow spruce]

Does the satisfactory interactiv map work also for console?

[hard ivy]

Why'd there be a discount right after release

[feral geyser]

it's a website

[wild flax]

Eh different game concepts you can't compare

[wild flax]

Why not it's been out for pc and to celebrate release for Xbox do a discount for both PC and xbox

Seems fair

Game pretty old too

[feral geyser]

if you start with a discount, people will think that should be the baseline price and get mad when it goes back to regular

[wild flax]

Why would that happen it literally a discount

The whole point of it is being temporary

[feral geyser]

cuz human psychology

[zenith fractal]

hear me out, what if we started eating the excited photonic matter?

[wild flax]

Their fault

[shy mulch]

What is the purpose of a discount, from the publisher's perspective?

[feral geyser]

tastes like strawberry gum bleeding

[hard ivy]

Idk how you're planning on "eating" plasma but you're more than welcome to try

[wild flax]

Man games are just getting more and more expensive

[shy mulch]

In exactly the same way that I embrace dark energy

[wild flax]

I'm gonna stop buying at some point I mean by 10 years most games will be like 60+ if not 80

I have been just buying keys lately

I saw stastfactory for 3 dollars

[hard ivy]

I just wait for discounts

[wild flax]

For pc though

[hard ivy]

Yeah, no, that's a stolen key 100%

[wild flax]

Well you don't really get punished for it like steam doesn't really do anything

Sometimes it comes with an account

Like an account made with the game inside

[reef basin]

oh, so 1 year is old?

[hard ivy]

Steam, no. The publisher might revoke it tho

[wild flax]

never had trouble with pirating but I only do it when iam short or when the game is simply overpriced

Who cares if EA misses on my 80 dollars for battlefield for an example

[feral geyser]

yikes 😬

yeah, fuck EA

[shy mulch]

Example:
If you have 60 iron ore you want to smelt
1 smelter at 250% = 20MW
1 smelter at 200% = 16MW
2 smelters at 100% = 8MW
4 smelters at 50% = 4MW
200 smelters at 1% = 0.08MW

So it all depends on how you balance your desire for power efficiency with your willingness to build more stuff, but in none of these cases does the 1 smelter at 250% beat any other option

[feral geyser]

but don't pirate this game

[reef basin]

I have 4 friends that have been hit by stolen keys being revoked when they bought it on third-party site.

Heavily recommend to buy on proper sources.

[wild flax]

I usually don't pirate indie games

[wild flax]

I think by the time that happen I'm done with the game

[feral geyser]

don't machines have a minimum 0.1 MW consumption though?

[shy mulch]

I thought that was only when idle

[reef basin]

it can happen even a few days after purchase

[wild flax]

It varies

[feral geyser]

so they would use more idling than running?

[wild flax]

I bought dying light the beast for 30 dollars

Techland also has enough money

[hard ivy]

I only pirate to get a demo when the game's expensive and doesn't offer one. Always uninstall or buy it after a few hours

[wild flax]

I don't feel any guilt when I pirate from companys

[hard ivy]

The wiki does say that, yes

[wild flax]

From Milion dollar companies

[shy mulch]

it's entirely possible that I've misunderstood, but that is my understanding, yes

[feral geyser]

that's crazy

[reef basin]

no reason to take risks and support gray markets

many developers said that they would rather have their game pirated than people buying on those sites

[wild flax]

Idk how to pirate

[zenith pecan]

While pirating might be understandable, this server really isn't the place for its discussion imho.

[wild flax]

Like get it for free

Yea Idk

[feral geyser]

• Don't discuss illegal activities (eg. Piracy etc.).

[hard ivy]

Time to build an array of like 40 smelters at 1% and see if the power consumption drops when they're fed ore

[feral geyser]

if it does, i hate it

but in all reality, i mostly only ever clock machines down, cuz i round machine counts up to 3's

pretty much only miners and gens get clocked up

[hard ivy]

I feel like I'm gonna need more than 40 smelters lol. Cause that's gonna be 4 MW idle and 0.36 MW running (theoretically)

[shy mulch]

200 feels like a good number 😄

[hard ivy]

111 gives 1 MW

So probably gonna do that

[feral geyser]

divisible by 3 also 😏

[obsidian zodiac]

gmornin gamers

did anyone see if any new console friends joined the discord since yesterday?

[feral geyser]

hahaha yes, lots

[zenith fractal]

I have

[obsidian zodiac]

siiiiick

[zenith fractal]

jason, how are you?

[obsidian zodiac]

im swell banana man, wbu

[zenith fractal]

well myself

[shy mulch]

nobody new joined, it's very quiet, nobody even asked yesterday morning what time the release is, so surprising

[obsidian zodiac]

same with stream, it was just my mom asking me if i ate lunch

[shy mulch]

and did you eat lunch?

[obsidian zodiac]

i did respond to a reddit post earlier from a new player who was looking for a purpose in game. in several hours of playing, the most joy they found was when they placed a personal miner and saw all the animation and whatnot. it was an interesting perspective

[obsidian zodiac]

yeah but she didnt need to make such a scene ya know

[feral geyser]

i mean, that is a good animation

[shy mulch]

that's wild, I suppose everyone plays the game at a different pace

[pliant magnet]

Yeah, there was a few tiny messages as it released while me and others installed it then that was it

[shy mulch]

I first played the game when 1.0 came out, and my first playthrough took me about 300 hours to complete space elevator, then I joined discord and started watching youtube videos and was surprised at how quick some people do it. I spent most of my time just exploring and wandering around enjoying the scenery tbh

[obsidian zodiac]

best way to play initially IMO! it was fun trying to figure out best strategies myself when i played for the first time, and exploring as well like youre saying. the world is so crazily detailed in ways that arent even necessary haha. just picturesque every way you turn

[shy mulch]

Totally agree. There are a handful of little bugs in the map that imo just add to the charm, when I was running low on inspiration I found my way underneath the map and build an enormous box, still not sure what I'm gonna put in it, possibly a power slug amusement park

[feral geyser]

there are also some big bugs

[north moat]

guys can i ask my question here since i need a quick response and i have tried everything from watching yt videos and scrolling reddit

[shy mulch]

On the roof of the box there is a drone port and a few fuel gens, so drones can bring in rocket fuel (they quite happily clip straight through the scenery) to power whatever I put in the box. Also put a portal in there so I can get there and back out easily when I want

[shy mulch]

I can answer VERY quickly
Here's your answer
42
I didn't promise it would be correct, only quick

[north moat]

ok so my question is like i am very very new to satisfactory and i making a coal power generator so i am pulling the water from the lake and all the headlift is correct amount and everything but every single time the water is being stuck on a pipe and moving forward it what to do

[shy mulch]

Check your throughput, look at how much water a pipe can handle per minute

[autumn lantern]

guys if i pick somthing in the ram resarch can the other thing still appear later?

[hard ivy]

from drives? you can get every recipe eventually

[north moat]

my pipes can handle 300 per minute

like in one of my pipes the water is just sloshing and not filling up the pipe what to do

i dont understand

[zenith fractal]

yeah it can, just gotta get another hard drive.

[zenith fractal]

is it a headlift problem?

is the pipe too vertical and is fighting gravity?

[north moat]

it is fighting gravity but i have installed like 5 mk.1 pumps each about 15m apart

[zenith fractal]

I see

strange

[haughty torrent]

I have been here a while, waiting for the release. Bought the game today, played for the first time, not long ago finished phase 1. Now planning out my coal power plant.

[hard ivy]

did you put the first one immediately after the extractor(s) and checked that none of them say "headlift exceeding recommended level"?

[north moat]

yes none of them are exceding the level but i put the first one after some length but the sloshing is way higher up in the pipe system

[hard ivy]

The extractor only gives 10 m of lift (as opposed to 20 of a mk1 pump), so the first one might be too high

[north moat]

can i send ss here?

lemme show you

[hard ivy]

Here, no. In every other channel, yes. Just pick an appropriate one

[north moat]

ok

[hard ivy]

Not #screenshots because you can't type there

[north moat]

check #screenshots

[hard ivy]

Lol

[north moat]

but you can see the pic and tell me here pls

[hard ivy]

Yeah, that looks too high

[north moat]

so far down?

[hard ivy]

Just put a pump right after the extractor

[north moat]

ok got it

[hard ivy]

It gives 10m but it's difficult to tell how high that is

[north moat]

lemme try and do that

[hard ivy]

So I just don't bother and not use those 10m and add a pump right after - because that does tell me how high it can go

[north moat]

cool

i will remember that for future use

[hard ivy]

Ofc unless the pipe goes down or flat - then that pump is gonna be useless

[north moat]

OMG IT WORKED TYSM

[north moat]

got it

[south canyon]

!consoleport

switch 1 still feels like a current console ngl

interesting it isn’t getting ported to switch 2

[leaden turret]

see venting in #off-topic-general re: "hope it never does"

[south canyon]

surely the APIs on PS/xbox are completely incompatible

though they’re both AMD

so it’s likely they use Vulcan or OpenGL

maybe it is actually just that UE doesn’t have ARM releases

[tawdry charm]

Ladies and pioneers, place your bets, is my big iron factory producing : screws, iron rods, iron plates, reinforced iron plates, modular frames and rotors going to work first try after powering up.

[south canyon]

No

You’re gonna be missing a constructor or assembler

[tawdry charm]

i think more like i wired the logistics up wrong

Alright im starting it up, meet yall in 10h when the manifolds fill up

[south canyon]

Why does the crafting button get “hot” after extended use

[south canyon]

Why are screws memed about

Stage 2, making smart platings

[tawdry charm]

Oh you will understand, i have 3 tier 3 conveyor belts for screws (tier 3 can transport up to 270 items/min)

[tawdry charm]

I completed the first space elevator stage way earlier

[south canyon]

How?

Smart plates need Assembler, unlocked stage 2

[tawdry charm]

I mean i completed the 1st space elevator stage. not the stage in the hub

Yeah, 1st problem was logistics XD

[steel kelp]

Does anyone know why i cant rotate my conveyor splitters so the input is on the right side?

I can get the input on every side but the one i want lmao

[hard ivy]

That's tier 2. The game doesn't have anything called "stage"

[shy mulch]

Tiers and Phases are different things, each phase has multiple tiers. When you use different words like "stage" people might not know if you are talking about a tier or a phase

[solid heart]

Any oled users here? Now that I play on ps5 I'm scared of burn in because you can't really pause the game and the ui is pretty static.
So every now and then I close out of the game to turn off my TV because you can't pause

[shy mulch]

Is that still a thing on modern screens?

[solid heart]

It's better than it used to be but never say never

They "guarantee" that you won't get burn in yet they include the option to refresh the pixels.

[shy mulch]

You can also defrag a SSD, doesn't mean it's going to do anything. Most elevator "close door" buttons do nothing too

Humans love pressing buttons that they think do something, even if they don't

[solid heart]

Okay?

[shy mulch]

Is that a question?

[native tapir]

Not worth worrying about. You got the tv to use it. You'll spend all this time worrying about it instead of enjoying it.

[true mulch]

is that not why they guarantee it

I assume the pixel refresh option is the way it avoids burn-in

no idea why'd you ever turn it off, if you even can

[frail sleet]

pixel cleaning basically sets all of your pixels to the same as the most degraded ones, so that you get an even picture

without that you get "burn out" where pixels that are used at a higher brightness more often tend to be more degraded, and you get noticable borders/zones if that happened in specific places because it causes effects like color shift and brightness loss.

OLEDs degrade at a slow but non negligable rate whenever you're using them. They're generally fine at 10k hours and can struggle at 100k, even with good care.

[shy mulch]

That's also a good technique for many things.
Example - olympic runner breaks their leg, break everyone's leg to make it fair

[frail sleet]

A pretty static UI is fine, but if you play Satisfactory for 12 hours a day every day for a year and don't really do anything else on the monitor then it might create a slight burn out effect.

[shy mulch]

If you're doing that, then buying a new TV once a year can be safely considered part of the cost of the game. Still a good price/hour

[spice patio]

Basically current OLED displays track and compensate for that dimming on per-pixel basis based on average dimming over time from that exact usage.
And that time to time pixel refresh is to exercise all pixels over the whole change space, so they don't kind of stick from being driven to same level all the time.

And limit the max brightness based on the worst pixels current max brightness.

[frail sleet]

https://youtu.be/whuHuM9h88M?t=259

this is tim from HWUB who had windows on only half of his screen a lot 😄

and he created a slight color shift on one half of the monitor

[spice patio]

Average as in based on tested dimming on average, as you cannot know the actual "wear" each pixel actually has.

[frail sleet]

also depends a lot on the display, there are some panels coming out now which alledgedly have ~60% longer lifespan at the same brightness vs last year - which improved vs the one before, etc

[spice patio]

From better pixel chemistry etc. making them degrade slower.

But still same basics, just different rate.

[mild wigeon]

How is Satisfactory only 10GBs on Console?!?!?!?!? I was expecting it to be in the 50GB+ Range 🤣

[shy mulch]

If you want it to be 50GB you can create a few thousand saves, should fit your requirements 🤌

[glass pagoda]

How are yall doing

🎩

Hey, hello, so out of curiosity was there anything said yet about console editions crashing because of Epic Games account trying to connect?

[mild wigeon]

As in the space taken on my drive.

[twin patrol]

I’ve been trying to 100% this game and building things to be upgraded is causing me pain

[quick idol]

Should i save copper for lategame for the nuclearpasta or is there enough on the map to have a good supply of nuclear pasta for the late game like in Tier 8/9?

[reef basin]

then don't upgrade, just build new

[twin patrol]

How because I need things from the past to add to the next recipe

[reef basin]

you don't really need much pasta anyway, practically a finite number, unless you want to do portals

[reef basin]

build those new as well

see e.g. https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Tutorial:Independency

[tawdry charm]

Ladies and pioneers, the iron factory start up was succsessfull, the manifolds are now full and the factory is running at 100% of its capacity. With only 6 logistics errors that had to be fixed. Im proud of myself.

[crimson lantern]

Does console have keyboard compatibility?

Is that the correct term?

[true mulch]

it doesn't

[reef basin]

no, consoles can't do keyboard and mouse yet

[crimson lantern]

Damn

[true mulch]

it'll be added later

[crimson lantern]

Whoohoo

[reef basin]

buy a PC it's like a console but better

[surreal linden]

i learned today you cant join servers unless you have mouse and keyboard

[crimson lantern]

Am poor

[reef basin]

decent PC costs same as console

[crimson lantern]

Besides, gaming is a time taker, spiders are my hobby

[surreal linden]

the new xbox is gonna cost 1200

[quick idol]

i dont want to abuse portal as my main transportation but i would like to have 1 or 2 just to have them

[crimson lantern]

And I'm gonna have to skip it lol

[surreal linden]

yeah i feel for people like that

it is mildly annoying that steel production is 3 steel ingots to 1 steel beam

but it makes sense

[fluid sapphire]

1200 for a console is an absolute scam

[surreal linden]

100% agree except for the fact they are porting over paystation library as well as the entirety of steam over

[quick idol]

for 1200 you can build a good up to date PC holy shit

[surreal linden]

in short it will be a lower end pc

[fluid sapphire]

yeah at that point just build a pc

[crimson lantern]

Is there a backwards lift?

[crimson lantern]

You can also pay for it over time, just buy the parts when you can

[quick idol]

wdym with backwards lift?

[crimson lantern]

Goes from up to down, instead of down to up

[versed mesa]

Buys mini PC small and compact depending on which one you get and the most can handle gaming

[zenith fractal]

you can in fact make a lift do that. start from the top then go down

[round matrix]

or switch it to reverse mode (r on pc)

[crimson lantern]

Ohhh that's good, i was fighting with it for ages 😅

[quick idol]

you can place a "support conveyor" on the top leading to the edge where the conveyor should go and then place the conveyor from there, just make sure the conveyor is in the right direction

[shy mulch]

Consider monetization of the spiders, are they any good at call centre work?

[reef basin]

you should be fine even if you want more than that. There's a lot of copper (and worst case you can later use different recipes)

[abstract heron]

<@&370483737957236737> can we have a chanel for consoles?

[quick idol]

ok, thanks a lot

[reef basin]

no reason to separate the community

we have console tag in #1038092680493801533 , where it's relevant

and half the people don't even use anything other than #satisfactory anyway, so we'd still have mixed people here

[void gorge]

Yeah not going to fully divide people across chats, but

[south canyon]

Isn’t the port… still on Unreal Engine?

[void gorge]

A Discord check-up is due for tomorrow

Just gonna tidy up some channels and maybe add a couple new ones

[round matrix]

ooh exciting stuff

[south canyon]

So things should still be pretty similar

new satisfactory players are new satisfactory players regardless of where theyre playing 🙂

What….why

[zenith fractal]

mikael, do you support the cult of the train aka worshippers the best logistics system in the known universe?

[south canyon]

I prefer conveyors

[reef basin]

\o bye

[round matrix]

lol

[zenith fractal]

I am sickened to my core

[south canyon]

Don’t you need conveyors to use trains

[south canyon]

Why did you change nick

[abstract heron]

So anything New chanels coming or u speaking of?

[zenith fractal]

if only I could use a smaller train 😔

Why did you change nick

[zenith fractal]

green got banned

[zenith fractal]

green was deleted

How

What

Also why

[shy mulch]

They're going to delete yellow next, whole visible range planned by end of month, entire electromagnetic spectrum will be banned by mid 2026

welcome to the blackness

[near frost]

is there a mod that removes the "pipe is too short massge"

?

[mild wigeon]

Not again...

[mild wigeon]

Who is spending 1200 on a console?!?

[reef basin]

wait it has happened before?

[steel kelp]

Are there any stairs other than the foundation ones?

Ones that are a bit smaller so i can use them inside a factory

[fluid sapphire]

absolute buffoons if you ask me

[mild wigeon]

Not to my knowledge, just my horrific humor 😭

[mild wigeon]

Agreed. Never knew Consoles could even get into that price range 🤣

[south canyon]

What console does

[zenith fractal]

apparently an upcoming xbox

[south canyon]

Jus buy a PC

[mild wigeon]

What currency was the 1200 given in?

[south canyon]

USD I presume

[mild wigeon]

💀

XBOX Series X - Pro Max Ultra Slim

[south canyon]

Actually tho

Why would you buy a console

They’re just locked-down ewaste

[mild wigeon]

Convinence ngl.

I enjoy playing stuff on console.

[south canyon]

Continents?

[mild wigeon]

I cant spell today oml

[south canyon]

Anyway, if you like playing on consoles, use a controller + PC

[mild wigeon]

convenience*

[mild wigeon]

True but I just enjoy the feel of playing on console.

[south canyon]

PCs are commodity hardware and Linux has good support

[reef basin]

I'm just gonna remind people that last person who bashed a lot on console players got banned 🙂

[south canyon]

Consoles have been “PCs” since the Xbox (basically)

[south canyon]

🐟

[mild wigeon]

🤩

[south canyon]

Is it economical to buy a console instead of a PC

[true mulch]

How so

[south canyon]

Well, is it cheaper to buy a console or PC to be able to play a game

[mild wigeon]

For the hardware in a console. Yes it's also more economical

[shy zenith]

Let people play console if they want who cares, I’ll keep enjoying my superior pc life and not be bothered by those noobs 😉

[true mulch]

You can't send an email on a console

[reef basin]

but the hardware is where the economy ends (and also this seems to be #off-topic-general )

[south canyon]

My brain is dead inside

[true mulch]

I mean I don't care what anyone plays on, I play on my platform of choice so why couldn't you

To me personally a console isn't a justifiable purchase

[south canyon]

I mean

If you already have a PC but it’s low end, sure. or upgrade for cheaper…

I just feel that in the age of “the computer box”, buying a console for games and a PC for work is inefficient

Only because they’re literally the same though

[silk rose]

i forgot the word how is it called when the thing is not supported anymore?
like stop receiving updates

[static meadow]

Obsolete

[south canyon]

Deprecated?

[silk rose]

discontinued!

nice thank you

[tranquil maple]

Buying my first merch and am stuck between the doggo, the mouse/keyboard pad, or the hog. Any suggestions?

[south canyon]

DOGGO

[silk rose]

id buy 2nd variant

[fluid sapphire]

coffee cup

[tranquil maple]

It looks good but I barely ever drink anything hot

[tranquil maple]

Wdym second variant

Like the 42 inch doggo?

[silk rose]

i mean mouse keyboard pad

[tranquil maple]

Oh

Ok

[silk rose]

cuz you will interact with them like 5 hrs a day at least

[tranquil maple]

Lmao fr

[silk rose]

reminds me of classmates using bad cheap pens even tho its the tool they have used the most in their whole life

why not buy $1 pen instead of $0.03 pen and enjoy every minute of writing

oh i forgot ficsit doesnt waste

better buy some skins for $1

[sterile blade]

The day you finally decide to buy an "expensive" pen is the day you either lose your pen (yet again) or suddenly don't need it anymore. It's mathematical

[tranquil maple]

Facts

[silk rose]

its murphy's law, i dont reffer to it when its $1 question

also expensive pen is sometimes heavy that makes it extra satisfying to spin

[quick idol]

is there a way to turn of the symbols in the compass at the top border of the screen

[tranquil maple]

Go into the map and select that category of things on the left and disable the for them for the compass

@quick idol

[mild wigeon]

All of them :3

[crimson lantern]

Do you get more than 2 hand slot thingy?

[hard ivy]

up to 6 eventually

[sterile blade]

Eventually, you'll find sources of radiation that can help you grow more arms (your pay won't be increased accordingly, though... Ficsit is stingy efficient...)

[shrewd palm]

You might also grow new legs to increase running speed and therefore increase efficiency

[sterile blade]

Could this be pinned while still relevant? It's a bit of a hassle to always look for the link to this message when someone needs it 😅

[zenith pecan]

Are the crashes console specific or it happening globally, ie just xbox, just ps5.

[mortal ginkgo]

I am not getting any crashes for PC, though I saw some wacky stuff causing crashes in PS5 etc. Surely devs working on it.

[formal hollow]

hey guys im new

[mortal ginkgo]

Can devs also work on making Cave ambience sounds not scary as heck too?

hey TRB, welcome.

[formal hollow]

thank you

[zenith pecan]

I was just curious as I'm on pc.

[formal hollow]

just bought the game

does anyone have some crucial tips before i start?

im kinda scared to start it up lol

[tall lantern]

pay attention to what the game tries to teach you

[true mulch]

The game tells you a lot if you pay attention

[zenith pecan]

My advice is literally screw around and find out, you get your first playthrough only once, make mistakes, make bigger mistakes, laugh as a system folds up, and above all, enjoy it, the game does a decent job of getting you started.

[true mulch]

Grab a lot of leaves. And don't be afraid to expand farther away from your HUB

[tall lantern]

and ~nothing is irreversible, so don't worry about screwing up

[formal hollow]

thank you guys so much

imma go start it up

[mortal ginkgo]

• There is a World Grid that you can use universally after getting Foundations.
• Build vertically when you feel like space is being an issue.
• At first your base will be a sphagetti monster, that is intended.
• First production values are really cute and easy to get but don't die on it if everything isn't 100% satisfactory for now.
• Enjoy!

[formal hollow]

thank you!

[zenith pecan]

Don't be afraid to make the spaghetti worse by retrofitting factories as you want to make more stuff, get faster belts and other fun tools.

Once you find your feet and get comfortable with how the games systems work, you can deal with making stuff look pretty and ordered, right now, you just want to make the stuff first,

[formal hollow]

alright thanks 🙂

[rustic pier]

I am retrofit king lol

[zenith pecan]

I've had some factories retrofitted so many times it was unrecognisable and really really hard to expand or change any further which resulted in eventual rebuilds 🙂

[crimson lantern]

1m, 2m or 4m?

[tall lantern]

all of the above

though if going for world grid alignment, always start with a 2m or 4m

[mortal ginkgo]

they all cost same material btw, use what suits you

[crimson lantern]

2m it is!

Many thankings

[zenith pecan]

I use the foundations based on what I'm trying to do, 1m for basic floors, 2/4 if I'm making a thicker platform, 4 especially if I'm having embedded belts. (edit: I'm so bad at typing!)

[formal hollow]

i dont understand how the biomass burner woorkkss

[tall lantern]

put in biomass, it burns, you get power

[formal hollow]

oh

thanks

[tall lantern]

can use raw wood/leaves, or (with progression) unlock refined versions that last longer

[zenith pecan]

Also you can build a container with belts going through splitters to feed multiple biomass burners, that way you just throw the fuel in the container instead of each individual generator.

[hard junco]

hey if i have 3 assemblers that needs 40 wire each, and i have a conveyor belt with 120 wire (the belts are mk2) i can use the manifold system right? and from the first splitter i can start using mk1 belts cuz the first splitter will split 120 to 60, is this correct because my assemblers arent working efficiently the first one is working at 100% but the other two are at 50 or 60% and they run out of wires why is that

[zenith pecan]

Are you ok with wiring up the generators and machines?

[tall lantern]

if you're splitting one belts worth out, then surely you have too much for a mk1 belt going to the other two assemblers

[formal hollow]

not there yet

[crimson lantern]

Best place to build? I keep clipping walls and rocks

[mortal ginkgo]

whats happening is that, in manifold setups, first machine will always take material more than it needs, to fill up "1 stack input" storage of it. this will continue until all manifolds except the last one gets their stack full. After that the last machine will be able to get all it needs.

Thats why many says manifold takes some time to work 100%

[mortal ginkgo]

Sky, vertical, upwards

[hard junco]

what do you mean? yes its one belt mk2 carryin 120 wires then after the first splitter mk1 is that where i am wrong?

[zenith pecan]

Here's an early example #screenshots message

[hard junco]

yes i know that but the assemblers are working for days now and still not filled i even tried to fill them myself with full stack and they are still running out of wires and stopping

[formal hollow]

might aswell quit if im struggling with this already haha

[mortal ginkgo]

then you are not making 120 wires. check your wire production

[zenith pecan]

Just take your time, this game is pretty much about discovery, everyone here, especially myself has had one issue or another with starting up with power.

[formal hollow]

alright

[hard junco]

humm ill check that again yea i already did but ill check everything from the start again ill be so ashamed if i have an mk1 belt somewhere

[little cobalt]

the struggle is the wall we enjoy to break through. I promise you us PC veterans went through all these hurdles too. Part of the fun is going "ohhhhhh THAT'S how that works"

[zenith pecan]

Also, avoid looking up more advanced builds for a while, focus on making the starting setups work to provide stuff, some people build very big and that can be a tough measuring stick while still learning.

[formal hollow]

yeah you're right, thanks

[mortal ginkgo]

you are not the first one with that issue, you won't be the last 😄

[formal hollow]

ah yeah

[little cobalt]

+2 on this. Mega building is not for new players. You don't actually need to min-max like that on a first run of the game. Just make what you need and learn from it

[zenith pecan]

I do personally build big, but I do prefer to steer people in a way that won't discourage the adventure the first playthrough gives, spoiling that is something I'm aiming to avoid.

[little cobalt]

yeah absolutely

I didn't really get into the mindset of building way more than i need and mega building to fully utilize my nodes until I was on my like, 7th playthrough and 500 hours in

[formal hollow]

is it a bad thing that im flying through the first hub upgrades or no?

[zenith pecan]

Power is the one place I do go build nuts, solves one issue for good but it does take ages to setup.

[zenith pecan]

Not bad at all, as long as you're learning from it, play at your pace, it is your game 😄

[little cobalt]

I do love my massive rocket fuel setup in the western beaches / gold coast

[zenith pecan]

Mine is in the blue crater 😄

[hard junco]

ok i made sure that all belts are mk2 and that i am making 120 wire per minute the constructors are working at 83%, i thought they are not getting enough copper but the issue is not that its because they are full and the wires arent moving out fast enough this is weird lol#screenshots

[winged bronze]

Does anybody know how I can apply a tiny nudge in console? When I lock the hologram by holding down R2, holding down R1 enables vertical nudge, but where is the tiny nudge option?

[true mulch]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Controls#Nudge_mode_2

[cunning siren]

If you beat the game in one start, there are 3 others too 🤷

Game changes a lot when the resource nodes and local geography is wildly different

[winged bronze]

When I hold L1… it goes into the build mode… it’s not working.

And holding R1 is vertical nudge option

[mortal ginkgo]

I dare you to share your save with me to show your FOOLISH issue x3

[winged bronze]

I still can’t figure out tiny nudge (0.5 m)

[dense violet]

whats the controler key to snap to grid?

or snap machine to the side of another machine?

[winged bronze]

R1 is snap to grid

[dense violet]

hold R1 and then nudge

[still goblet]

Two disadvantages of playing on ps5 in satisfactory. 1. So I don't remember the insignificant xd. 2. Making markers on the map is terribly poorly done. It is impossible to give the name of the tag. Which is annoying because I will put 50 query tags for example and remember what is where when the name of these tags is "question mark" and literally a small minus, there is a small type of tags.

[hard junco]

i feel bad bothering you this much lol (i dont even know how to share a save)
but i believe i found the solution and it is FOOLISH

tell me after the first splitter in the manifold should i use mk1 or mk2

[dense violet]

just use the highest belt everywhere

[mortal ginkgo]

why not use mk2 in all? 😛

[dense violet]

it'll save you from making mistakes like having too low mk belt somewhere

[tepid prairie]

Is there any devs on rn?

[sullen gull]

Nah, can pump out 160,000MW rf in two days 😏

[dense violet]

can you get a mouse and keyboard for ps5? would probably fix that

[mortal ginkgo]

no worries I am not bothered at all. I will tell you whats wrong if you really want to share the save so I will tell you how 😄

[wooden barn]

Good day everyone, I'm going to start playing this awesome game on Xbox, and my question is, is it possible to rent Xbox servers yet?

[zenith pecan]

Mine took closer to eleven days due to work taking a lot of time.

[hard junco]

that was the probleeeeem and i can make the whole factory with mk3 belts and soon mk4 belts yet i thought i should use the correct belt just cuz its more organized or something

[sullen gull]

I was more just talking shiz 😏

[mortal ginkgo]

dont worry about it lols, just yolo belting

[tepid prairie]

@obsidian zodiac are you able to tell the devs about a bug ive found on satisfactory console?

[dense violet]

it does not

[dense violet]

#faq for where to post bugs

[tepid prairie]

Mb

[mortal ginkgo]

I STILL with mk1 belt should be fine, however mk2 belts will let you use Wires faster so if there is a shortage again, you will know there is an issue further behind about production

[hard junco]

but logically it doesnt make sense like you have the main belt carrying 120 after a splitter isnt 60 now ? so an mk1 is enough to carry the rest?
unless since the first assembly is taking only 40 wire then there is 20 left from those 60 so 60+20=80 and mk1 wont work

[still goblet]

I can check. But even if it works, I prefer the controller

[shrewd palm]

anyone know where i can find the fluids manual

[hard ivy]

pinned in #math-and-meta

[shrewd palm]

ty

[dense violet]

hence why you just use your fastest belt everywhere
once items are automated they are effectively free and you wno't make mistakes like low mk belts in spots

[hard junco]

yep ill start using mk3 for everything from now on lol

[dense violet]

sure, but this game has a lot of commands. Playing with the controller is just going to be more awkward. But thats a choice you have to make.

[hard ivy]

because after the first split, it's not carrying 60, but 80. 120/2 is 60, which is what it'll be at the beginning, but 120-40 is 80, which is what it'll be after the first machine fills up and consumes 40

[hard junco]

yep i missed that it all make sense now

[tall lantern]

always make sure your belts and pipes can handle what you actually plan to send down 'em

[still goblet]

And how to turn on the keyboard and mouse to work in satisfactory?

[dense violet]

That's a ps5 question. I abandoned consoles years ago

I don't even know if you can use a K+M on ps5

but it would sure be convenient for this game

[charred sandal]

There any mods with bigger blueprint designers

[ionic gate]

in the crafting bench, is there a way to make items clear or add their names under it? cos when I don't have an item it looks white and unclear

[still goblet]

I think I wrote something wrong the first time or you misunderstood. I meant these markers on ps5

[charred sandal]

you can mouse over it

[ionic gate]

xbox

[charred sandal]

Feel like we almost need a console channel ngl

[dense violet]

posssibly? it was you couldn't edit markers right? I'm sure you can edit them on pc if you click and type on them?

... it's been a while since I've bothered with that though

[ionic gate]

also, is there a way to make all UI bigger?

[dense violet]

at least on PC I believe theres a UI scaling setting

[leaden turret]

move face closer to screen

[still goblet]

Well, you can't do it on ps5

[dense violet]

also that

[leaden turret]

there's very little that's unique to the needs of console players, compared to #dedicated-servers for example

[dense violet]

yeah but I assumed you were trying with a controller right?

[mild wigeon]

Rent out a local movie theatre 😉

But I do believe there is a setting on the homepage. But I could be wrong

[shy mulch]

Hey guys, I'm trying to console my PC, how can I satisfy this desire

[leaden turret]

🫳
💻🍵

[still goblet]

Yes. But when I connected the keyboard and mouse to the ps5, satisfactory does not see them.

[mild wigeon]

Sell your PC and buy the console?

[leaden turret]

no support for such things at launch

[dense violet]

Ah ok I think there was the misunderstanding

Have you had a ps5 recognise keyboard before?

[charred sandal]

A console help channel would make it a lot easier for people to find the answers to their questions/already asked questions (Im not a console player, but navigating this game seems infinitely more painful with a controller)

I feel like "ask question" > " answer for pc " > "Im a console player" is going to be a common theme for a while

[dense violet]

It might be google time for that

And, Marv tends to be up to date on this stuff

[leaden turret]

there's a platform tag on #1038092680493801533 , therefore satisfying the case you're referring to

[charred sandal]

ah fair

[leaden turret]

some jackass yesterday was proposing a console-specific channel because they were hostile to the mere existence of console players 🤷‍♂️

I have zero understanding of polish

also #rules thing

[charred sandal]

I also dont speak polish

[still goblet]

Yes. But already SignpostMarv wrote that there is no support for keyboard and mouse on piemiere

[hard ivy]

how is polish relevant lol

[leaden turret]

I am human, not furniture, no need for knowing how polish sounds 🥁

[charred sandal]

You wont trick me

[still goblet]

Sorry :). I clicked badly on the keyboard and instead of the English translator I wrote it in Polish

[dense violet]

Sadly :/

[mortal ginkgo]

Console players make me ANGY ARRRRRRRRRR

[mild wigeon]

Idk why but I keep reading the word Polish as like the cleaning supply 😭

[mild wigeon]

I begth your pardon!

[mortal ginkgo]

ARRRRR BARK BARK

[leaden turret]

be really funny if when they add keyboard/mouse support to consoles if the metrics show a near 100% usage of keyboard/mouse, would make fishlabs sad

"but we spent all that time adding controller support, y u no use controller"

[mild wigeon]

HISS HISS

[round matrix]

i kinda wanna use controller on the pc version now

[mortal ginkgo]

You won the arguement with facts and logic. I salute you and consider you a "Legit Brotherman 10/10". Have a nice day.

[leaden turret]

do eeet, @void gorge's been loving it

[round matrix]

wait, it works on pc already??

[mild wigeon]

You too fine sir! 🫶

[leaden turret]

yup. easiest way to get feedback on controller implementation for console was to add it to PC ahead of console launch

[round matrix]

iiinteresting. makes sense!

[still goblet]

Łooooo. Discovered. However, it is possible to call tags

[leaden turret]

I don't know, do you have tags' number? 🥁

[still goblet]

I mean that on the map in the ps5 game

[leaden turret]

gonna need more context there

[grim niche]

Ps5 and pc doesnt have crossplay?

[mortal ginkgo]

nop

[leaden turret]

also not at launch

[cunning siren]

Wait a sec, are you saying there is a possibility later AND you have proof or is this just a guess?

Q&A: Will there be crossplay between console and PC?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pV_fYCOpw34&t=146s

we're not closing the door on it forever

the tl:dr; is gotta make sure consoles don't crash if they join @grave burrow

[quick barn]

It does, but the UI/UX will have you reaching for the M&K.

The conse UI/UX was better when I played yesterday

[ivory condor]

hmmm so cross play might be possible, hope consoles enjoy mega factory saves😹

[quick barn]

Good. It's the single thing keeping the console release from being an 11/10

[serene hatch]

Hey everyone, I'm new to satisfactory (ps5)

[clear aspen]

Welcome

[shrewd palm]

its so nice seeing a flat power graph with fuel generators

[clear aspen]

Hello chatters

[zenith pecan]

Getting my power graph flat was a bit of a pain due to its complexity, #satisfactory-experimental message

[shrewd palm]

that much power but only that much consumption is insane work

[zenith pecan]

My consumption tanked due to shutting down factories with plans for proper reconstruction and space elevetor parts being done.

[shrewd palm]

ahh

how are you even making that much power and only eating that much

rocket fuel?

[ivory condor]

by being a deep tunnel rat

[zenith pecan]

Yeah rocket fuel, that graph was also clipped before the rebuilt quartz facility and the foundry producing 4800 steel ingots.

[shy mulch]

machines making the fuel could be on a different power circuit

[shrewd palm]

true

[ivory condor]

did you utilize nuclear power at all in that save?

[zenith pecan]

No, though it is on the cards when I get the other factories rebuilt and online.

[ivory condor]

Don't worry i never finished my nuclear either

[cunning siren]

~8 play throughs and the most power I've ever had was ~150 GW 😆 I didn't need it so I didn't build it? 🤷

[zenith pecan]

My old save burned all the maps uranium, I'll no doubt repeat that when I can get enough time that isn't swallowed by work.

[ivory condor]

for 1.0 I just opted for doing a rocket fuel 8400 setup instead, still i want to do nuclear for the fun challenge

[shrewd palm]

i like nuclear a lot more than rocket fuel ngl

[ivory condor]

but really making tons of rocket fuel is so cheap indeed

[shrewd palm]

yes they each give about the same power but nuclear is so much more fun and rf is so easy it sometimes feels a little like cheating

[opal oracle]

is there a way to duplicate items ? i need a ton of spheres

[zenith pecan]

Building the three towers facility was cool though.

[leaden turret]

!wikisearch AGS

[raven axle]

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

[leaden turret]

AGS has thing for give items

[shrewd palm]

yes but theres 300 on the map and you only need about 100 for mam stuff

and the 200 or so you have left is way more than enough

[shrewd palm]

true

[opal oracle]

i have my mam fully unlocked and like around 120 spare but i still need more

[shrewd palm]

what are you even doing that needs that much

[opal oracle]

a storage system will all of the items in game with a depot at the end but the upload is kinda slow so i need more depots for some items

[shrewd palm]

fair

240/min should be enough for basically everything except for belt materials and concrete

maybe a handful of others if you're placing down a bunch of generators and stuff

[ivory condor]

either scim or mods

[last vector]

Could I get some opinions, for starter bio fuel gens do you prefer to fill up with a balanced or manifold? I’m trying to set up my coal plant but need power a bit more consistent

[opal oracle]

wires , every power plant take 200 and i figured i dont have enough power shards so i have to place a ton of power plants

[zenith pecan]

Might be on console though, I'm not sure there is a solution other than AGS.

[opal oracle]

no im on pc i might use mods

[zenith pecan]

Ahh ok 🙂

[hard ivy]

the inventory depot upload death dupe glitch might still work

[opal oracle]

imma search that

[primal obsidian]

was playing a multiplayer server and then it died instantly on the 3rd day

so i guess i have to to go back to my singleplayer save now

and finish it

[native tapir]

orbs*

[waxen robin]

Is seeing what been built on the map a mod or have I just not built big anuf ?

[wary osprey]

it on xbox now and as a fist time player i love it

first

[rose saffron]

it'd be pretty cool if assemblers could make iron plates using the default recipe at twice the speed compared to a constructor

[zenith pecan]

Overclock!

[shrewd palm]

you can upload your save to scim and do it there, or download the cartographer mod to have it in game

[waxen robin]

On concle

[shrewd palm]

dont think theres a way to see it on console

[waxen robin]

Yea didn't think so

[small pebble]

Adv game settings and just give yourself however many you need

[ivory condor]

I still cant believe this game radar tower cant show us whats built

[warm forge]

Just wanted to ask about base building here, do you guys usually have only one logi floor or do you guys alternate between logi, prod, logi, prod, logi, prod (so on and so forth)

[shrewd palm]

one logistics floor for every production floor

[hard ivy]

it's a website

[warm forge]

Didn't think it was a "help" question so I didn't bother putting it there and just asked casually XD

[zenith pecan]

Tbh I always wanted the in-game map to be able to show what we've built, scim helps us on pc there but that doesn't help those on console 🙁

[waxen robin]

It'd be possible to do id presume ig its not a priority problem

[zenith pecan]

To be fair, I've been asking on and off since update 5 early access.

[waxen robin]

Is there anyway to make suggestions that get acted on without finding a way to work for coffiestain 🤣

Do you guys think roughly 110000 MW are enough to get to nuclear?

[ivory condor]

Yes, become a modder and make it happen yourself

But really beyond making a mod for, you really cant force css to do anything that the devs arent planning to do.

[cunning siren]

Phase 4 can be completed with ~13,000 MW so I would say way overkill

[waxen robin]

Unless they add a mod page like arma reforger did for concel I dont think ill have access to mods

[ivory condor]

for console I assume?

[waxen robin]

Yea can't spell sertan words consistently lol

[ivory condor]

sertan = certain 😛

[shrewd palm]

more than enough unless you plan on doing all the uranium and a couple other really big projects along the way

[waxen robin]

Point proven 🤣🤣

[quick idol]

i actually planning on using all of the uranium xd

[lost jacinth]

just got this game two days ago, 6 hours in and now my game crashes after 3 mins of playing :/

[shrewd palm]

i think my power plant at that size used up something like 50-70GW with minimal overclocking

total consumption while everything was running after i got it done was like ~120GW

[topaz lintel]

Hello

[waxen robin]

Ello hello hello

[shrewd palm]

looks like i do not in fact have a flat power graph but we ball

[hard ivy]

doing that shouldn't consume more than 80 GW unless you do ficsonium

[mystic oriole]

hm... I like seeing newbies to the channel

[primal obsidian]

should i rebuild my whole factory

[waxen robin]

I fear your urge not to trouble shoot till 3am

Yes

[shrewd palm]

im resisting it so hard

[waxen robin]

What power you on

[shrewd palm]

this is just a temp power setup to get me going until rocket fuel but having a wavy power graph is so bad

if everything is working perfectly i should have about 27GW total

and about 20GW to work with

[waxen robin]

You missing a pipe connection?

I had simler but in a smaller scale and it was a single pipe that wasn't connected

[shrewd palm]

rocket fuel will get me set up for about 100GW

and then with that i'll be able to make 630GW of nuclear + whatever boost i have from augmenters

[primal obsidian]

hey guys i joined a multiplayer server and then saw the factory and how optimized it was and now im wondering if i should optimize my factory by deleting it completely

[shrewd palm]

everything's mostly fine its just small inefficiencies i dont know how to fix that add up over time

like the last couple generators in every row dont have fuel when they should be but everything else is fine

[waxen robin]

Could you put what dosnt fill the last genes in to a liquid storage then distribute that into generators

[shrewd palm]

if you try to do that you'll keep trying to optimize and it will never be perfect and you'll just waste time

[shrewd palm]

i've prefilled them all but they run out eventually

[primal obsidian]

one of my mk.1 miners is running at 18% efficiency

[waxen robin]

Add machines

[hard ivy]

and?

[shrewd palm]

the only things you really need to worry about not running at 100% are things related to power production

[primal obsidian]

its wasted electricity

[shrewd palm]

eventually basically everything will stop running as storages fill up

[hard ivy]

it's really not

[shrewd palm]

idle machines only consume 0.1MW iirc

[waxen robin]

Add machines dump the result i to a ticket machine

More coupons more fun toys

[shrewd palm]

one thing that is kind of weird is that the last 2 refinieries in each row dont run at 100% and only those last 2

[waxen robin]

Is there anf oil in the system to begin with you could have a pipe issue

Connect to power poles ?????

[shrewd palm]

it is a pipe issue but i think its a little more nuanced than something being connected improperly

[shy mulch]

how many refineries, what's their total oil usage, and how much oil is being passed in, is it a manifold?

[waxen robin]

Is there to much oil in kne pipe 🤣

[shrewd palm]

the issue is probably just that im trying to run some pipes at 600/min but heres all of the stuff
1800 crude oil being turned into heavy oil in 60 refineries
2400 heavy oil being turned into 1600 fuel in 40 refineries
that 1600 fuel being split into 4 pipes of 400 and then being burned in 2 rows of 10 fuel generators per pipe
everything is manifolded

[shy mulch]

which ones are being starved?

[waxen robin]

The 600 is definitely the issue idk if it was fixed but pre 1.0 600 pipes hated being full

[quick barn]

Just up and pick a new spot to do better in, and leave what you built in place until you realize you've replaced it. You'll need the supplemental production for a while anyway

[shy mulch]

you can't really say "...is definitely the issue" and "idk" in the same sentence 😛

[shrewd palm]

the last couple generators in each row, as well as the last couple refineries in each row but i think i have maybe sorted it out

[quick barn]

They absolutely can, I can see it right now 🫠🤣💀

[shrewd palm]

i move the input for the crude oil manifold from one of the ends to the middle and that seems to have helped a bit

[shy mulch]

have you tried doing the loop method?

[waxen robin]

I defiantly can say it and I will say it muhahah

[quick barn]

You did say it. I saw.

[shrewd palm]

if its still being nasty i'll try it but im just giving the manifolds a minute to balance out again after the latest change

[hard ivy]

I've used 600/min pipes just fine since at least 0.6

[shy mulch]

run another pipe connecting the first junction and the last junction, seems to eliminate sloshing as the fluid goes round in a loop instead

[stiff osprey]

Hey, tryed to stream satisfactory using the xbox app but it does not work. Someone the same problem?

[shy mulch]

I've only played since 1.0 was released, and I've never had any issues with 600/min pipes, my nuclear setup relies on it

[waxen robin]

The pipes didn't like being at full capacity at some point if I rember correctly

[primal obsidian]

do you think i need a new power plant im at 1000 MW and at advanced steel production milestone

[shy mulch]

if you're using all your power, then you need more, if you aren't, then you don't

[shrewd palm]

the only problems ive had with 600/min pipes are really just fuel generator manifolds and the way i build refinery manifolds

[primal obsidian]

alright man

[waxen robin]

More power is never the wrong choice though

[shrewd palm]

doing a 600/min pipe that goes into a hanful of machines works all the time and the only issues are from me forgetting to put a pump somewhere

i suspect that most of these problems are just from whatever calculations they have for the fluid simulation starting to break down around 600/min

[waxen robin]

I must be having the Mandela effect then cause I swear 600 pipes had summat wrong with em (not 100% if thats the right effect )

[shrewd palm]

if you dont build them right they cause a whole host of problems

[rustic pier]

Im about there with my main manufacturing area lol

[shy mulch]

Question - I have a room with a ton of portals "the portal room". They are all main portals, so I can feed them all with singularity cells in the one place. Then I can put all the satellite portals all over the world. But when I'm in the portal room I have a terrible time remembering which is which. I have signs with icons on them above each portal, but it didn't help, because I couldn't remember what the icons meant. So I tried putting signs up and just writing the words of where they go, but it looked really messy. So I went back to the signs. I just can't get it to make sense to my old brain. I'm going to add a ton more portals soon too, so it's only going to get worse. Any suggestions?

[shrewd palm]

looping has fixed it i think

[stray field]

When do u unlock the stat to change the efficiency of machine

[shy mulch]

power shards

[waxen robin]

Its in the mam in the slug tree

[shrewd palm]

in the mam

[stray field]

K thanks

[waxen robin]

Anyone know where the closest sam deposit is to the rocky desert not having concrete to had is getting annoying 🤣😅

[hard ivy]

in the cave under it

[shy mulch]

why would sam help with concrete

[waxen robin]

Dimensional depo

[shy mulch]

aha

[stray field]

Wait so which bit to i unlock in the mam? Cuz I want to change the efficiency of my maxhines but which bit in mam is it?

[shy mulch]

if you want to see where all the resources nodes are, use SCIM

[shrewd palm]

power slug tree, you need to unlock overclocking

[rustic pier]

Use power switches and name it. You can put signs up and use text. Have to change layout i think. Bottom left of the window

[waxen robin]

Also anyone noticed the super sliding in The concel edition

[shy mulch]

!wikisearch mam

[raven axle]

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

[stray field]

Thanks

[stray field]

Thanks

[shrewd palm]

it might actually be better to give each portal a number

and then in the notes section on the side of the screen you can write down what number goes to where

[rustic pier]

Thats a good idea too

[shy mulch]

Yeah the text looked messy though, that's why I went back to just using icons. How would power switches help?

[waxen robin]

Could name plate them with signs

[shy mulch]

HMmm interesting

[shrewd palm]

you should try both and let us know which one works

[waxen robin]

Can embed the signs to give them a frame

[rustic pier]

You can name them. Or mark the numbers on your map and rhe mark the portals corresponding

[shrewd palm]

yeah but then he'd have to open the map and i dont think he'd be able to do that with his elderly brain

[shy mulch]

If I can't remember what an icon means, a number might not be any better, the whole point of the place was to be fast lol

Might just have to make do with the text signs even though it looks a bit ugly

[shrewd palm]

i am so confused

looping one side fixes the one side but connecting both ends to the loop breaks the whole thing

[hard ivy]

the names of the portals on the compass aren't good enough?

[shy mulch]

if you have 2 or 3 portals that could work, but if I have all the names on my compass it's gonna get messy

[ionic gate]

how to move a building? or i only can disassemble it and remake it?

[hard ivy]

I mean I'm using the compass with 15

[shrewd palm]

when you're in build mode and the building is a hologram lock it in place

i dont know what the bind for controller is but on pc its H

and then you can nudge it around

[shy mulch]

I have 22 right now, but have enough singularity cells to power 43

[ionic gate]

i dont mean in building mode, the thing is already built, i want to move it

[shrewd palm]

you'll have to dismantle it and put it somewhere else

[hard ivy]

not without mods or save editing

[waxen robin]

Fuck of the last few gens and tern it into a by product and sink it it'll reduce the power but save a migrain

[hard ivy]

where are your portals even going?? I didn't even have enough factories to fill 15 (used 13)

[shrewd palm]

im gonna need the power tho

[hollow kraken]

If anyone is on console and is looking buy I wouldn't buy it till next week

[shy mulch]

Not decided yet for many of them, but I do have factories and buildings over most of the world, so I just kinda dot them around everywhere lol

[waxen robin]

To late my addiction started

[hollow kraken]

Same but I can't play it

[waxen robin]

How come my coppys running g fine

[hollow kraken]

Are ypu connected to epic online G?

[waxen robin]

Yup

[hollow kraken]

Lol

[waxen robin]

It crashed the first time but it auto connected after that

[hollow kraken]

Nice my brother is to and friend but when I connect to it I keep crashing everytime I load up

[shrewd palm]

devs said they're working on a fix that could be out tomorrow

[waxen robin]

Tern your WiFi of load it the tern the WiFi back on my trip summat

[shrewd palm]

but weird console stuff might also pushing it back to next week

[hollow kraken]

Or possibly next week

In my eyes if you buy a game then have to wait a week to play it what is the point?

[waxen robin]

Console is a headache to update but managing a 30 gig game on PC down to 10 gigs is bound to cause issues

[waxen robin]

Its not an issue for everybody tho is the bigger problem

[shrewd palm]

i dont know very much about game dev stuff but i think that file size issue is mostly from having to duplicate files for hdd users

[hollow kraken]

Not necessarily games used to be over 100gb and now the 30 or 40gb no problem for them

[shrewd palm]

and also some graphics stuff

[waxen robin]

I belive Jason was surprised how condensed it got to tho lol

[lethal geyser]

Sup guys

[hollow kraken]

Anyway im just depressed waited since 2019 to play it on xbox got it and can't play it

[shrewd palm]

it'll be fixed soon

[hollow kraken]

Yeah

[shrewd palm]

just epic being stupid (as usual) and some mutliplayer stuff with ps i think

[waxen robin]

Same i knew its relise was ganna be a shit show tho

[leaden turret]

sit on xbox, play on pc, problem solved

[hollow kraken]

Nah xbox people are alot chiller pc people shout alot for some reason

[shrewd palm]

i wonder how long until we get an influx of pipe questions

[waxen robin]

Epic ccan cause issues for PC as well tho my PC mates had problems when Ron released on concel

[shrewd palm]

people on console have got to be getting to phase 3 around now

[leaden turret]

speedrunners should be done by now

[shrewd palm]

yeah but they'd probably know how pipes work

[leaden turret]

package all the things, problem solved

[waxen robin]

Not even fi ished 2 yet but I axo left it on so I should have a nice backlog to play with

[steel kelp]

whats the fastest way to get mercer spheres? ig its more of a question of map traversal than anything

i need like a million

[thorny pagoda]

Can’t wait for the fluid truck

[waxen robin]

Headaches here we come

[shy mulch]

you can see where they all are if you look up SCIM, some people might call it "cheating", but it's up to you how you want to play the game

[steel kelp]

i have been doing that, i just mean how i can get around the map a bit faster to get to them

[waxen robin]

U less you use literaly fly cheats vehicals are your only option

[sterile blade]

Jetpack + biofuel (or anything burning "long") + biomass generators blueprint (with fuel inside) + hypertube cannon blueprint

[shy mulch]

what phase are you at? there's hypertubes, vehicles, jetpacks etc

[steel kelp]

im just about to finish phase 2, just waiting on stuff to build

[thorny pagoda]

I drove a fuel truck delivering to gas stations, I just think it would be fun to make fuel terminals from train transports to distribute fuel and nitrogen to different plants using the tanker truck

[steel kelp]

Am i close to getting a jetpack? if so i will just wait to get one and then go exploring

[shy mulch]

!wikisearch jetpack

[raven axle]

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

[waxen robin]

You on concle or pc

[steel kelp]

console

[waxen robin]

You played apex legends if so abuse the slide jump magazine it seems to be broken and the speed just increases and increases

[barren condor]

just made my (very) first (ineficent) factory.

[sick falcon]

jetpack is slower than crouch sprinting

[shy zenith]

Guys, I'm not taking any drugs, I shit you not I just saw big foot walk through the bauxite swamp forest

[steel kelp]

The verticality is the slow thing ngl

[shy mulch]

It's not bigfoot, it's his cousin, bigbelly

[hard ivy]

horizontally, the jetpack is as fast as you were before activating it

[shy mulch]

good, now do another 89765897659

[thorny pagoda]

I like the hover pack more but it’s only useful when I’m around powerlines

[shy mulch]

different tools for different jobs

[thorny pagoda]

My favorite tool for wall painting/building and railroad construction

[shrewd palm]

i am kind of mad i need to make heavy modular frames for the hoverpack

[charred sentinel]

Does foliage grow back? Not the nuts and berries, that regenerate their fruit, but the grass and trees themselves. Or is a bunch of leaves gone once you collect them?

[shrewd palm]

its such a nice thing to have

[charred sentinel]

That is kinda contradictory, isn't it?

[shrewd palm]

they should go away once yoy pick them up

theres more than enough in any area to get you going tp coal power tho

[thorny pagoda]

Mass deforestation is fun early game

[charred sentinel]

Oh, I know that - I'm just thinking it might be fun to fully denude the playable area after I "finish" the game.

[shrewd palm]

ahh

turn the grassy fields into the fields or something

[charred sentinel]

Hey - those cluster bombs ain't gonna use themselves... 🧨

[thorny pagoda]

I only recently discovered I can blow up tree clusters when I was blowing up rocks. So I was over here cutting down trees like a goober

[naive kettle]

is it just me or are the fluids in this game completely botched

[hard ivy]

not completely, but yeah

[shrewd palm]

it is not just you

they're being fixed next year tho

[naive kettle]

hope so, cus i been sitting trying to fix my power plant for four hours and have only managed to make things worse

[shrewd palm]

for now you'll just have to learn to work with them

[hard ivy]

that is generally what happens when you do random shit thinking that'll fix it

[shrewd palm]

if looping somehow doesnt fix this i am going to crash out

ive done everything in the pipeline manual for manifolds

[spare garnet]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Df4Zl9YpuHY&t=11s seriously you wouldnt believe how long I have been hoping for Mk 3 pipes and MK 2 oil extractors

[shrewd palm]

i dont think either of those are coming

so far as we know for sure the only new content coming in 1.2 is the fluid truck and the fluid truck station

[leaden turret]

and an unspecified game mode

[shrewd palm]

fluids are almost definitely getting a rework and that too

everything else in that video is either a camera trick or people who want there to be more i think

tbh i want there to be more but fixing fluids is probably gonna take a ton of work

[leaden turret]

gallon

-# because fluids

[spare garnet]

I do like the idea of fluid trucks since there kinda needs to be more options for transporting fluids overlong distances

[dim cradle]

okay maybe I'm just doing this wrong but with a controller (on PC) how do I see a node's purity on the map...?

[hard ivy]

you can already transport fluids by truck. you just need to package it

[dim cradle]

Like when I hover over it with the controller cursor it just shows an orange outline around it

VS when you hover over it with a mouse, it shows the purity

[lethal geyser]

Trains are unlocked in the same phase as fluids so we dont need trucks plus you can package fluids

[lethal geyser]

Maybe thats the purity

[dim cradle]

nah everything has that outline regardless

[onyx yew]

im new and would making a huge slab on my starter biome for easier automating be worth it

[waxen robin]

Your huge slabs wont be big anuf 🤣🤣

[leaden turret]

game is 3d.

can build up.

https://communityhighlights.satisfactory.video/meta-search/?q=tower

[primal obsidian]

yeah if you dont have any automation its gonna be pretty hard to build a slab

[onyx yew]

ik but like for the start

[pastel hedge]

I have a question so I just finished my nuclear power plant, right I am very scared to turn on cause I feel like it’s gonna crash my grid. What should I do?

[leaden turret]

point being you don't need a huge slab, can build small slab repeatedly

[shrewd palm]

first, check a power pole to make sure that its max consumption is enough to not crash your grid

[onyx yew]

cus i have some but i want to make it look better and im still in the state of the game where theres not much automation in my starter zone

[shrewd palm]

if it will crash your grid, set up a bunch of batteries

[pastel hedge]

Ok

[primal obsidian]

also if you press r you can switch to zoop mode and it really makes it easier to build a foundation

[onyx yew]

js cus i saw a vid and saw that and was wondering if it was bettter

[shrewd palm]

that will hopefully last long enough for you to get a few reactors online

[pastel hedge]

So my east factory already has around 30 batteries in it. I hope it’s enough.

[waxen robin]

Connect it with 1 line or a switch so if it dose you can tern it of

[dim cradle]

There's a standby button on every machine anyway

you can just turn it off

[naive kettle]

ok somehow managed to fix it. The problem was a mk1 pipe clipped into a mk2 pipe, descuised as it. And also a gap in the pipes that was hiding under a fluid pump. Seems like my fuel was dematerialising on one side and then rematerialising on the other side of the pipe

[pastel hedge]

Everything’s already on its own separate switch lines so I think I’m gonna turn off the non-central factories to get the nuclear power plant running

[dim cradle]

gee how organized, I just shove lines everywhere

🕸️

[leaden turret]

I think you mean 🍝

[waxen robin]

You are the anti old christ

[pastel hedge]

In the middle of the map, I have my main control center and the control center has like 30 switches in it to turn all the different factories off

[dim cradle]

I'm mega organized

[dim cradle]

nah spaghetti has more form

[pastel hedge]

My main train line has I think 20 water pipes underneath of it I have to check but it’s also got five turbo fuel fuel lines

[onyx yew]

if i were to build a abig slab zone is there a specifique biome where it would be better

[shrewd palm]

not really but the northern forest would be the worst

[onyx yew]

alr thx

[slate canopy]

im so sad i cant play with my friend on ps5

[dim cradle]

I just have peak performance all around #screenshots message

[steel kelp]

why cant i connect my hypertube between the entrance and support

do i need a bigger gap or smth

between the entrance and support i mean

[shrewd palm]

you cant connect the entrance part of the entrance to anything

[steel kelp]

im just following a guide for a hypertube cannon lol

thats what he said

[shrewd palm]

only the exit so if you want to chain them together you'll have to leave a support with a small air gap in front of the next entrance

[steel kelp]

yeh ive done that

maybe the gap isnt big enough, it was only one space

[dim cradle]

nah you don't need much space

[shrewd palm]

#screenshots message this kind of setup will scale infinitely
