satisfactory

[dawn idol]

is rails way less consistant now? been a while since I played but man they feel a lot less consistant

[haughty torrent]

I just want more architecture parts so I can stop making factory boxes.

They don't even have windows yet.

[dense violet]

better feed the awesome shop

[dense violet]

in what way?

[dawn idol]

idk it just seems a lot weirder, before they seemed to be extremely consistant in how they place and work

[open pebble]

hello

I have a question for everyone, isn't the first quest too easy?If you leave it for a bit it will only last for a moment.I want to know if this game is easier than the others or if I'm just getting better

[turbid merlin]

I mean. It’s a tutorial

[dense violet]

couldn't tell you. There's only one new bug where it can be a bit tricky to put down signals sometimes. Other than that they are fine

[turbid merlin]

No reason it should be hard

[dawn idol]

thats not new tho is it

[dense violet]

tiers 1-2 pre tutorial
tiers 3-9 regular tutorial

[dense violet]

1.1 I think

[vivid jackal]

fire music
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMS6DHj5yU8

[open pebble]

I think it's around tier 4 or 5 because I managed to activate the elevator once.It's near the electric wires and stuff.

[dense violet]

if you've done phase 1 elevator you are now in 3-4 , still very early.

the milestones are really just there to teach you the game.

you could make the dirtiest, sloppiest factories and still manage to finish the phases

[steel kelp]

The game is only hard if you dont plan

[dense violet]

or if you make it hard for yourself. Which is always an option

[open pebble]

And it would be interesting if a train or something came along.

[dense violet]

it's a 'set your own difficulty' game

[open pebble]

Now the forest begins

[pine patrol]

i have another question 😔

Wtf do mercer spheres do they seem way too guarded to be just lore

[dense violet]

MAM research and stuff

[pine patrol]

alr

[dawn idol]

where is 1.1 stuffs content? I really dont see any kind of elevators or anything

[cunning siren]

OH man! IDK Nitro is close to Jungle Spires biome, thats handy I'll just run a pipe

[dense violet]

awesome shop

I think most of 1.1 was some architecture stuff and that's always in the shop

[open pebble]

That big one that we built first

[rain lynx]

I keep thinking about dumping months of my life into this game again starting from scratch. Can someone please talk me out of it? I was super close just now..

[somber monolith]

Should I have smooth motion on in nvidia for satisfactory? I’m not sure what it does

[dense violet]

super close to what?

if your goal is just phase 5 you can do that easy and quick

[dawn idol]

is there a bug with pumping water around and stuff?

flowrate is way lower then it should and I cant find out why

[dense violet]

nope
make a #1038092680493801533 post with overhead images to what you're doing

[dense violet]

there are however a bunch of common rookie mistakes you can do w/o realising it.

[dawn idol]

hmmm

[dense violet]

but it's also often impossible to diagnose pipes w/o lots of images. so up to you at this point

[dawn idol]

thing is we getting a trickkle of water, and we got a lot of t2 pumps going on and yet its still only a trickle... its not l ike its nothing

wtf

[somber monolith]

I think u need to fill them then start the machines it’s fixed mine before

As in the pipes

[dense violet]

that can sometimes solve a problem yes, but it really depends on what their actual issue is

[dawn idol]

ok we do got a buffer for water/pipes

so ill disconnect and tryt filling

[dawn idol]

any idea why water would not be going into tank buffer?

[dense violet]

please post images

[somber monolith]

Idk much I’ve used pipes like twice

[dawn idol]

yeah sry

[dense violet]

either in a #1038092680493801533 post or in #math-and-meta where you can look and type about it at teh same time

[dawn idol]

can too many pumps be doing this maybe

[glad marten]

Best tier to start working on a mega factory?

[dense violet]

never

[glad marten]

lol

[dense violet]

tiers 1-9 are basically a tutorial. Learn what you're doing. And then the game is effectively a sandbox

while you can make a mega factory, making one that is growing is a pain in the ass if you care about efficiency or tidyness

it's far more work than just making new factories.

[glad marten]

so focus on completing the game then work on it?

[dense violet]

look that's my advice. It's a challenge even if you have very solid grasp on planning and layout out logistics AND have a final end point you plan around

If you don't care about efficiency or tidiness? just slap crap around and let stuff over flow to each other.
Honestly that's what I mostly do going up the tiers. It's quick and dirty.
however you probably don't learn as much about planning and logistics doing it that way.

[feral geyser]

Mega factories start being easier once you have Mk5 belts

[glad marten]

yh, ill probs just make some stuff in biomes, liek plastic and fuel in blue crater etc and then train those parts back into the mega base

wont start til phase 4 tho

[feral geyser]

At which point, you have already done a few decent projects and know some of the ins and outs of both solids and fluids.

[dense violet]

sure 🙂
when I get to sand box mode I set up large local hubs that produce high tier items from mostly local sources.

so like a big super computer factory

but that's not hte only way to do things

[feral geyser]

Plus, you probably have a good chunk of the building mats ready and automated by that time

[pine patrol]

i wonder if i have link perms

youtube.com

idk

[cunning siren]

What makes belts 🍝? 🤔

Do straight organized belts = 🍝 ?

[glad marten]

watch lets game it out

thats what spaghetti is

[pine patrol]

tru

[pine patrol]

https://m.youtube.com/

I do very epic

[hollow nova]

TIL that xbox cloud gaming on PC has crossplay with console version

[pine patrol]

makes sense

the reasons they dont allow crossplay without something like that is because mods and ither world edits that could corrupt save files and console is signifigantly harder to troubleshoot than pc

[hollow nova]

Yeah, I totally get it, but still peeved that my vanilla PC can't connect to console. At least I can coach my brother through the console controls, I guess 😛

[pine patrol]

i do think that should be allowed

[dense violet]

you're talking like it's just some dudes shaking their finger at you saying you're not allowed >.>

[pine patrol]

like if your save is full vanilla allow console to join if not dont allow it

i also dont understand why it wouldnt just have the console be host fixing the issues

[hollow nova]

It's a little hard to connect when they literally don't show up on the joinable tab lol

[dense violet]

ok?

[hollow nova]

👍

[rose saffron]

for my packaged diluted fuel how many containers should I give it?

each refinery has it's own closed loop system so it's a relatively short belt

[dense violet]

give it a full stack? see how it goes from there

you can put them in the BP so every time you build the print it has the stacks already inside

[rose saffron]

seems like 50 is enough

half a stack

[cunning siren]

First time finding the huntdown tape 😆 I've passed this thing by in 7 other playthroughs WTF?

[frigid walrus]

Dors anyone play on ps5

[cunning siren]

Sounds like 80 metal jams

[stuck barn]

Anyone ever get "Couldn't import file: Invalid version specified" when uploading a save to satisfactory calculator

[south canyon]

wtf

#screenshots message

why

[spice patio]

Corrupt save.

[stuck barn]

But I can load into the game fine

Just not upload it

[south canyon]

oh, the splitter was rotated incorrectly

[spice patio]

Console save somehow gotten to PC?
Or PC save?

[stuck barn]

PC save

[bronze atlas]

.

[south canyon]

Pretty sure that's impossible

[spice patio]

Old save then? Resave ingame and load that in SCIM?
Otherwise, ask on the SCIM Discord? Small button top right in the site.

[torn turret]

Is there a blown fuse indicator bug because i had the blown fuse tab pop up but no machine is off and max power consumption is well below the power produced

[odd remnant]

What is the best transport to have other than trans to transport items? \

I was wondering if there's something else other than the train

[versed mesa]

👋

[zenith fractal]

the train is love the train is life

there is no existance without the train

but if you really wanna

[odd remnant]

Yeah it's just so tedious when setting it up

[zenith fractal]

drones can be nice

[odd remnant]

Drones?

There's drones? \

[zenith fractal]

do you have tier 7?

[outer yacht]

devs should make it so you can overclock belts

best idea frfr

[zenith fractal]

belts don't even take electricity

[outer yacht]

make them take electricity

[odd remnant]

No Phase 7 isn't unlocked yet

I haven't unlocked it yet

[zenith fractal]

not phase 7, tier 7. tier 7 is after phase 3 is done

[outer yacht]

also make it so you can overclock the HUB so you don't have to wait as long for the little ship to get back so you can start the next tier faster

[solemn crystal]

oh its even worse

[zenith fractal]

do you just want to put a slug into everything? what about the local power slug populations?

[outer yacht]

oh also make it so you can overclock the elevator, it ain't fast enough

[solemn crystal]

this save i have is ancient

[odd remnant]

I'm on phase 3, I've done one but have not finished it yet

I never knew there were drones

[zenith fractal]

well then, keep on trucking along.

[solemn crystal]

havent made a new save since like before 1.0

[outer yacht]

those slugs shouldn't have existed on my planet if they didn't want to be exploited

[odd remnant]

I'm trying Captain!!! But thanks for telling me that there's drones that will make me push for me to finish phase 3

[dim cradle]

Also make it so you can overclock the slugs

[zenith fractal]

drones are very easy to set up but don't have very high storage capacity.

[dim cradle]

squint prooove it

[outer yacht]

also make it so you can overclock yourself to let you run faster

[odd remnant]

That's fine, I don't mind it, I just need it close to my home base, long distance areas will be on trains

[outer yacht]

oh and overclocking hypertube entrances to make them speed you up more

[solemn crystal]

not right now i just woke up

[dim cradle]

Think it would cost like 6 drone stations to take care of one MK6 belted mk3 miner...

lol and I"m going to sleep

but drones are great for Nitrogen

[solemn crystal]

i use like 30 of them just for fun

[odd remnant]

Trains will be based on long distance for me

[solemn crystal]

-# they all go to 1 port :)

[outer yacht]

is there a way to calculate how many items a train can transport a minute?

[dim cradle]

What happens if they're all going to the recipient point at once

[solemn crystal]

Tried to do that, its mathematical hell

[versed mesa]

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0PMDMZ-9FeU This is a crazy looking Mod machine lol

[solemn crystal]

They just take turns

[dim cradle]

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

It's not that hard it just depends on the round trip time

and there's also an unloading and loading stage

[outer yacht]

that's what I was thinking wasn't sure though

[solemn crystal]

oh

[versed mesa]

Ive got a little hangover today lol

[odd remnant]

Now you gotta build, build!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[versed mesa]

Lmfao am looking at Tulsa King at the moment

[solemn crystal]

now try making 3 sets of 100% efficient modular frame factories!!!!!

[odd remnant]

Try to do both, it helps with the hangovers lol

[solemn crystal]

(no blueprints)

[versed mesa]

Lmfao

[versed mesa]

Say what now lmfao

[sharp basin]

Yeah

[dim cradle]

translation, "I hate modular frames"

[versed mesa]

Would this mean building 3 machines for this production lol

[solemn crystal]

It means make 3 production lines of 100% efficient modular frame factories

[dim cradle]

I mean technically it can be 100% efficient but still suck depending on what you mean

[solemn crystal]

Max overclocked

[versed mesa]

Or 3 factories that produce Modular frames lmfao

[solemn crystal]

Fully overclocked

[dim cradle]

it can also be max overclocked but still suck

Like are you going to only smelt pure iron ingots?

[versed mesa]

Omg i think ill pass for the moment lmfao

[dim cradle]

Are you going to try to use more efficient recipes?

[solemn crystal]

stop attacking my points with things that i cant counter :(

[dim cradle]

I'm just wondering how much you love refineries

[solemn crystal]

wait what do you mean more efficient “recipies”

like are you saying theres different ways to make a recipie

[versed mesa]

My current sink is around 80k income per minute

[solemn crystal]

cool

but i have 5 million power in rise of kingdoms

[versed mesa]

But soon to be increased but now sure what ill get from sinking pellets lol

[solemn crystal]

pellets??

[versed mesa]

Ill sink some pellets before producing plutonium

[solemn crystal]

What in the world are pellets

And WHAT IS PLUTONIUM

[versed mesa]

@solemn crystal its whats needed to produce plutonium

[solemn crystal]

is there new uranium types now

[zenith fractal]

another radioactive element

[solemn crystal]

Youre saying theres more?

[grizzled orchid]

Yes

[solemn crystal]

w h a t

[versed mesa]

@solemn crystal plutonium is another fuel

[solemn crystal]

[zenith fractal]

only 3 in satisfactory rn with 1 made up element.

[solemn crystal]

The hell is that “made up element”? Letsgameitouttium??

[versed mesa]

@solemn crystal 3rd one is ficsonium

[solemn crystal]

oh, makes sense

[versed mesa]

Lol

[sterile blade]

You might want to try doing that immediately...

[solemn crystal]

Wait im sti confused on the “different recipes” part earlier

[zenith fractal]

but yeah, uranium makes waste that can be turned into plutonium into plutonium fuel rods. those rods can be sinked but if you wanna burn them while having no waste you will also need to add the ficsonium chain

[versed mesa]

I will do I just need to produce steel beams and what ever else is needed

[solemn crystal]

uranium waste can be turned into sinkable objects now?

[dim cradle]

There are different ways to make modular frames and most things in the game.

[zenith fractal]

plutonium fuel rods are sinkable

[dim cradle]

You get them via hard drives.

[solemn crystal]

well uh might as well take a trip to container towers bim and jim

[sterile blade]

The same item can be made with different recipes. Different recipes take different input items, in different quantities

[solemn crystal]

so like the same hard drive in my computer? this games p2w now?

[versed mesa]

You can't Sink Uranium waste Rip

[dim cradle]

Technically it's a matter of opinion, as all recipes have different purposes, but arguably some recipes are just "plain better" than others in terms of how much raw resource they're using.

[zenith fractal]

you know those crashed ficsit ships? those have harddrives, loot them and you get alt recipes.

[sterile blade]

Plutonium pellets need Waste, Silica, Fluids and Concrete...
Steel beams aren't needed until you're making Plutonium Fuel Rods

[dim cradle]

So to make the most efficient modular frame factory ever I guess you probably need to be smelting pure ingots in refineries, using the best recipes for every part down the line etc >.>

(don't do it)

[versed mesa]

I know am already there lol

[dim cradle]

As a person with 9 floors of refineries dedicated just to smelting the Caterium from one pure node hooked up to only an overclocked MK2 miner I can tell you that refinery smelting is... well I use it a lot, but you'll end up with my level of spaghetti easily

I only do it because I'm too lazy to find more sources vs just squeezing more out of every source

[sterile blade]

"I know"
"I need Steel Beams to make Plutonium Pellets"
...
Just pick one 😭

[versed mesa]

Ive got 3 particle accelerators built at the moment but its not producing pellets yet because I was being interrupted by beasts and killed lmfao

[dim cradle]

Imagine using other energy sources besides geothermal and sloops

couldn't be me... (I'm in pain in Tier 9 right now pls help)

[solemn crystal]

oh, those hard drives, i just have them piled up in a container, kinda forgot what to do with them

[dim cradle]

Why does everything in tier 9 need so much power

[versed mesa]

No the steal beams are for producing Plutonium Rods

[zenith fractal]

use the mam and extract those recipes my friend

[solemn crystal]

incremental-type games, satisfactory is one of them

[dim cradle]

not to mention it all varies over time...

[solemn crystal]

so i can finally get rid of the dogshit modular frame recipe that makes me want to delete my save

[dim cradle]

and my own geothermal power also varies over time

everything's just varying over time and I need about a billion batteries just in case

[grizzled orchid]

Yeah probably , there are a lot of alt recipes that can change up production lines

[solemn crystal]

just spam coal generators! pollute the planetttttt

[dim cradle]

nah if I wanted power I'd just make fuel plants

diluted fuel to be specific

[solemn crystal]

exploit ❌
pollute ✅

[sterile blade]

Look, I know the recipes...
All I said was "try doing it now" when you said "I wanna try sinking Plutonium Pellets". I dunno why you started talking about Steel Beams in response, but I was just talking about sinking.
So that you don't have surprises after you might have made plans based on your statements

[dim cradle]

Going for a no pollution run in this game is basically impossible.

[versed mesa]

Ive got like 47k MW backup powered stored

[dim cradle]

Even the bio generators pollute...

[solemn crystal]

dude the refineries pollute

and you cant even handcraft that

the crafting bench releases some amount of smoke

everything is pollution

[dim cradle]

And we don't even know what the weird transdimensional buildings do

[versed mesa]

Ive got a hangover this morning lol

[solemn crystal]

the pod on the HUB uses fuel

[strong wind]

is there a tool out there where i can check rates of stuff in the game like say i need to find out how many smelters a mk1 miner can support

[solemn crystal]

more pollution

[solemn crystal]

the game itself

it says how much it produces in a minute

then just look at how much your smelter needs per minute

[dim cradle]

I believe there are tools out there to measure it, but it's pretty simple math

[solemn crystal]

basic division

then you got it

[dim cradle]

First your belt speed is all that matters, not your miner speed

[versed mesa]

Think ill go get 2 paracetamol lol

[dim cradle]

unless your miner is slower than your belt, which means it's an impure node

[sterile blade]

There are.
But like: if you saw a kid asking where the calculator is because they need to know what's 2+2, would you tell them or encourage them to learn at least "the basics"? XD

[solemn crystal]

not entirely

[solemn crystal]

was about to say that

[dim cradle]

People have mixed opinions on impure nodes. Personally if they're close to other things I'm grabbing or where I"m at, I go for them.

If I'm reaching for them, normal and above only

[sterile blade]

"People have mixed opinions"
Yep. World truth right there, no need to add more

[versed mesa]

How much points is pellets worth when you sink them ?

[sterile blade]

Try it :)

Before you make all your plans based on that

[zenith fractal]

plutonium pellets? I don't think they can even be sinked.

[versed mesa]

I will soon am just about there just need to connect 2 Conveyors and connect the power towers the particle accelerators

[versed mesa]

Really why not

[zenith fractal]

lemmee look at the wiki

[versed mesa]

Ok cool

[sterile blade]

Yeah, I was just trying not to spoil the "surprise" 🤷‍♂️

[reef basin]

I personally don't care about nodes at all. factories never need "3 nodes", they need 250/min. How I get that is irrelevant

[zenith fractal]

wiki states pellets are unsinkable I see

[zenith fractal]

oh

[versed mesa]

Or no lmao

Damn I was hoping i was going to sink them guess that out the window lol

[zenith fractal]

pretty sure you have to refine it into fuel rods for them to be sinkable

[sterile blade]

Wether a factory inputs a set amount or not is also a design preference ^^

[versed mesa]

Yeah i know lol

@zenith fractal the Rods should bring in alot

[reef basin]

I mean first two words of that message are "I" and "personally" 😛

[zenith fractal]

i think so too, rods are valuable.

[dim cradle]

It can be relevant depending on who you are though. I'd very much prefer to get it from one source with one belt and 1/4th the miners.

[reef basin]

well, that's the second phase of planning - picking a location 🙂

[dim cradle]

Picking a (train) location too

[sterile blade]

Followed by "factories" rather than "my factories" or "your factories"

[reef basin]

well there's nothing in SF that would require to tap certain amount of nodes

[south canyon]

#screenshots message
which one

[sterile blade]

Nuclear sinking rules (to avoid spoilers, just don't click spoilers)

• Uranium: ||sink everything but Waste||
• Plutonium: ||sink nothing but Rods||
• Ficsonium: ||sink nothing but Rods (iirc)||

[south canyon]

or should I rescan for a recipe more immeadiately useful

[reef basin]

see #math-and-meta message

[versed mesa]

Got it thanks

[south canyon]

still can't decide

[reef basin]

flip a coin

or decide later

[frail sleet]

you can't sink most of the stuff that you said

[south canyon]

is solid steel ingot even useful

[reef basin]

is it useful to you?

[south canyon]

it's got 60/min compared to 45/min

[sterile blade]

Depends on the combination of production goals and recipes chosen. One can (and some do) base their factory design on input required. I believe you should've seen that plenty of times, so I don't understand why you'd dismiss it

[reef basin]

well I'm talking about the game requiring it

not the person

[sterile blade]

Well, "sink" and "can't sink" are opposites 😅

[reef basin]

afaik ficsonium is ||sink nothing||

[frail sleet]

yeah i am a bit wrong, didn't realise you can sink uranium cells

not sure why you can honestly, it's like someone threw darts to determine which recipies you can and can't sink 😄

[somber monolith]

Does anyone know where I can find hard drives with computers around them

I’m in green feilds

[sterile blade]

I think it's relatively simple, as you either:

• Sink all except 1 item (Uranium, with Waste)
• Sink only one (Plutonium with Plut Rods)
• Sink nothing (Ficsonium)

[reef basin]

well you can sink everything by default. They just forbid sinking anything between UWaste (inclusive) and PRod (exclusive) for balance reasons (the classic "store waste or process to PRod), and anything above PRod (ficsonium is only burned)

[grizzled orchid]

https://satisfactory-calculator.com/en/interactive-map is your best bet to find things , obvious spoilers of you go there

[somber monolith]

I needa find computers around them not the acctualy drives

[reef basin]

what for? 🤔

[sterile blade]

I feel like you're obviously moving the goalpost and I'd rather... Just drop it

[somber monolith]

Depot uploader I started a new save

[reef basin]

I'm not though 🤔 from the first message I was talking about "game doesn't require me to use minimal amount of nodes" (or any specific number of nodes)

[dim cradle]

I think computers will be in the mid to higher level areas.

So prepare weaponry and anti spoooder measures

[somber monolith]

Yeah I found a steam comment thing listing where all crashed locations are and what’s around them

[dim cradle]

The highest level areas would be like cooling systems and crap

[south canyon]

Level?

[dim cradle]

There's no explicit level mechanic in this game, but it would be the areas with the highest tier enemies around everything.

and usually most valuable or highest tech tier nodes

Well, computers would kind of have mid tier enemies probably but yeah

[solemn crystal]

one time i had to fight like 2-3 uranium hogs just for some super computers

i dont recall what it was but it was verry valuable

i was in tier 3-4

[dim cradle]

Were you in the swamp

[solemn crystal]

I was on that mountain area

[dim cradle]

Idk if that's the one, but there's basically one crash in the swamp that just has a bunch of crap around it and then requires something stupid to open it

[solemn crystal]

Where youd usually find baxuite

[south canyon]

Swamp?

I did have a crash, near some sheer cliffs and it required 60ish MW

[dim cradle]

yeah the stuff near the swamp can require up to 400

or maybe more iirc idr

putting iirc and idr next to each other is pretty fun

[solemn crystal]

Cant you use that alien machine thing tat givez 500 free MW

[dim cradle]

You can if you have dimensional storage or are just lugging everything it needs with you

[solemn crystal]

wait whats dimensional storage

[dim cradle]

Alternatively the best and easiest way to get around is to just use power stations anyway

[solemn crystal]

youre saying we get pocket dimension squared later on

[dim cradle]

Just research the alien tech tree and you'll find out lo

[jade heart]

I need someone to help me with versatile framework for phase 2

[dim cradle]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Power_Tower anyway these are basically best transportation

take your power with you lol

[solemn crystal]

A L I E N T E C H T R E E?

[grizzled orchid]

You have drones right ?

[solemn crystal]

yea?

[dim cradle]

How does someone have drones but not dimensional storage

[solemn crystal]

IDFK

[jade heart]

Bro I have dimensional storage

[solemn crystal]

LAST TIME I PLAYED WAS LIKE UPDATE 8

[jade heart]

Haven't even gotten past phase 2

[solemn crystal]

i quit because my factory became too big

and my pc was trembling in fan speed

[grizzled orchid]

Go find some Mercer's spheres to unlock the alien tech tree and somerslopes for the other alien tech in the mam

[solemn crystal]

wait so they finally finished the sam ore stuff

[grizzled orchid]

Yes

[solemn crystal]

nice

[jade heart]

Can someone help me with versatile framework for phase 2

[grizzled orchid]

What's the issue ?

[solemn crystal]

Make more of it

[jade heart]

I'm tying

[dim cradle]

Or just leave your computer on all night

[jade heart]

I'm on console

[dim cradle]

Be lazy embrace non productivity

[solemn crystal]

Tried checking the item rates?

[dim cradle]

(I know I had to leave my computer on all night for 1k nuclear pasta)

[grizzled orchid]

Go try to hunt down some somerslopes while waiting for things to build , you can attach them to an assembler to which doubles it's output for free

[dim cradle]

Well it uses a lot more energy

for most early game assemblers not a huge deal

late game, it's... painful

[jade heart]

I maxed out everything and it's so slow

[solemn crystal]

Didnt they change it?

[solemn crystal]

Check the efficency!!!!!!

[dim cradle]

phase 5 wants ||1k nuclear pasta lol||

[jade heart]

How

How do I check?????

[dim cradle]

Oh I guess that might be a spoiler

[solemn crystal]

Open the assembler making the framework, then look at the 3 bars that have a percent under them

[dim cradle]

I mean idk how much phase reqs are a spoiler since people are sitting here looking at spoiler maps but w/e

[solemn crystal]

They changed it to ||100|| iirc?

[jade heart]

It says 10 per minute but it's not being supplied at a constant rate

[sterile blade]

Generally speaking, just story elements are universally considered "spoiler" in chat

[solemn crystal]

Im talking about the efficiency

[jade heart]

200%

[solemn crystal]

Thats the overclock rate

[sterile blade]

Ahahah
Yeah, it might have been 100 before

[jade heart]

But as I said it's not constantly being supplied

[solemn crystal]

Shit

[grizzled orchid]

So add more supply ?

[sharp basin]

Impure/normal nodes are not showed on the Satisfactory Calculator map?

[jade heart]

I CANT

[solemn crystal]

Can you tell me what the efficiency rate is 😭

Guys someone pull up the wiki bot for the efficiency/productivity display

[sterile blade]

You don't have any more nodes of the required items? O.o

[grizzled orchid]

You can though , go find more nodes , setup more assemblers and grow the factory and all that

[solemn crystal]

How does one show what the efficiency display is…

[jade heart]

Oh wait I found it....it's at 50%

[solemn crystal]

Means that the item thats before it isn’t being supplied enough

[sterile blade]

"!wikisearch [subject]"
"[]" to be removed ofc

[solemn crystal]

Look at the item rate it needs

Then match it with the item production

[jade heart]

DONT YOU THINK I KNOW THAT ALREADY???!?!?!?

[solemn crystal]

Im trying to tell you the solution..?

[sterile blade]

Always a pleasure to help when they scream back at you~

[grizzled orchid]

Then what do think we can help with ? Send thoughts and prayers it builds faster ?

[reef basin]

you know you can just search it on wiki and it'll have the same effect? 🙂

[jade heart]

I'm trying to get more but more isn't enough

[solemn crystal]

It deleted my link when i sent it

[solemn crystal]

Then you’re doing “more” incorrectly

[reef basin]

I'm assuming you went to wrong wiki then?

[solemn crystal]

Mustve been fandom again >:(

!wikisearch efficiency

[raven axle]

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

[sterile blade]

What exactly is the issue in providing as many input items as you want? (ie: enough to run the machines you built)

[solemn crystal]

that works

[jade heart]

Sybau

[jade heart]

Idk

[solemn crystal]

Ok then. Why waste time in helping when youre gonna be an ass about it

[sterile blade]

"Please help"
"What do you need help with?"
"IDK"

Can you see the problem here? 😅

[sharp basin]

Or is there a map that shows all nodes (impure/normal/pure)?

[jade heart]

Sorry I was working on this for literally 12 hours straight and everything is going to shit

[grizzled orchid]

Yes that's going to happen

[solemn crystal]

Ok.. have you tried underclocking

Or do you want it to be as fast as possible

[jade heart]

I'm just trying to get a lot of versatile framework bruh 💔

[solemn crystal]

Alright.. gotta pull out the ancient save file i have then..

[jade heart]

Wait

...

[dim cradle]

You don't really need "a lot of it" anyway

[solemn crystal]

Please dont tell me you found a solution after i closed silksong

[jade heart]

I only need 118 more until I'm done

[dim cradle]

But nothing in this game is hard if you just break everything down to its constituents and then make a line for them, one at a time.

[solemn crystal]

…..

[jade heart]

What

[solemn crystal]

Ok so JDubs

[jade heart]

Holy hell the chat went sii

Ye?

[solemn crystal]

What line is behind

[grizzled orchid]

Is that phase 2 or 3 ?

[solemn crystal]

On the production for framework

[solemn crystal]

Phase 2

[jade heart]

Huh?

[solemn crystal]

Like is the modular framework slow

Or the beams

[jade heart]

Oh no I already got all the modulars I need

[solemn crystal]

so the beams are slow

[jade heart]

👍

[solemn crystal]

Double check the item rates on the whole line

Make sure you have enough

Thats all i have

You do the rest

[jade heart]

Steel ingots at 89%

Beams at 80%

Framework at 50%

I was just reminded of how long I have been playing

16 hours

[south canyon]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

now I'm trying to place a conveyor into a lift

and it does the same spiral pattern

[grizzled orchid]

Your lift is reversed , flip it around

[south canyon]

are you sure

the arrows on it are pointing the right way

and moving the conveyor to another spot fixes the issue

[grizzled orchid]

Then your belt is too short or try a different belt mode.

[jade heart]

I can't wait to see all the amazing rewards I get out of phase 2 being unlocked after 16 hours of grinding

[dim cradle]

you get more things to build to build more things to build more things so you can build

[jade heart]

Like nuclear power?

[grizzled orchid]

Nope

[jade heart]

FUCK!

[dim cradle]

Nuclear power is a ways away

these days people seem to like using fuel gens more anyway

[jade heart]

FUCK! (x2)

[grizzled orchid]

You will need 2500 versatile frame works for P3 though , so might want to start planning on that

[jade heart]

Wha

😭

[dim cradle]

You need like... a factory... and stuff

[jade heart]

I already got one

[dim cradle]

As long as you produce them automatically you're guaranteed to eventually finish any project eventually

Even if it might take 2500 minutes...

[jade heart]

It's has very uncanny resemblance to a plate of spaghetti

[grizzled orchid]

That tracks

[dim cradle]

Don't worry my factory might arguably (lol) be considered spaghetti, too #screenshots message

and I"m in the last part

you can do it

Should you? IDK but I did it anyway!

[jade heart]

Is that Cthulhus untamed pubic hair?

FELLAS GUESS WHAT????

Only like 40 more versatile framework left to go

[grizzled orchid]

It only gets worse for those

[shy mulch]

I open discord for the first time today and this is the first message I read. What have I walked in on 😂

[dim cradle]

Surprisingly succinct description of my factory I guess.

[grizzled orchid]

I'd more go with biblically accurate factory , but hey if it works it works.

[jade heart]

30 more versatile framework left

[dim cradle]

if I was playing with other people, I would have probably spread it out and made it more modular but..

since it's just me I'm the only one that needs to know where everything is anyway

and I dokinda

[shy mulch]

Just looked at your screenshots, that level of spaghetti terrifies me 😂

[jade heart]

Now you see why I called it Cthulhus untamed pubic hair

Less than 20 versatile framework left

10 versatile framework left

6

4

2

0. We did it fellas

I meant 0

[solemn crystal]

Baseball, huh

[calm grail]

in the end you have what you see on the picture but x4

[jade heart]

Here we go

All the framework is loaded up

Seal it

There it goes

I'm getting the presentation

Here we go, I'm gonna send it off

Wowzers

That was underwhelming

[reef basin]

you know you can write all that in one message instead of 20? 🙂

[solemn crystal]

Live updates

1 message is like a prerecorded video

Multiple shows what hes feeling right in that moment

[reef basin]

multiple also feel like spam 😛

[solemn crystal]

Thats what slowmode is for

[reef basin]

yeah, so I'd stop that spam so that we won't get longer slowmode

[jade heart]

Y'know my brain is telling me that I should quit satisfactory but I know it's a good game. Sigh if only had someone who could help me make my base better (hint hint)

[reef basin]

if you have specific questions, ask in #1038092680493801533 , but generic "I want to get better" is best resolved by playing more

[solemn crystal]

Watch a few LetsGameItOut videos about satisfactory, then go crazy 🤪

[jade heart]

I already watched all his satisfactory videos

[solemn crystal]

Then go crazy

Do whatever your brain desires

[jade heart]

I don't exactly have the resources to

[solemn crystal]

Just have them

Smh smh

[jade heart]

Hurb

[grizzled orchid]

So get more resources , use your scanner and go explore

[jade heart]

Bruh

[mossy lance]

Or playing together would help too I guess 😅
Might be less boring that way and when one doesn't know how, the other might.

But I feel ya, it's hard sometimes. Joined this group to find some like minded people that might like to play together some day

[grizzled orchid]

You'll be exploring in P3 as good chance there is no oil around you if you are still in a starting zone

[reef basin]

personally I would recommend at least first playthrough to be singleplayer and without watching tutorials

[jade heart]

That was the whole point of the original message

Also if you're wondering y'all, my base is at X -437 Y 2853

[mossy lance]

Mine is somewhere in the deserts sky

[south canyon]

should I use only Mk3 belts, or use wgatever tier is appropriate

[reef basin]

if you have the resources, I wouldn't bother with lower tier

[mossy lance]

Mk3 is great in my opinion, but depends how many resources you want to let go over it. But if you have the resources go as high as possible with the tier. They are wayyy faster and can carry more resources at once

[solemn crystal]

Imo
Mk1
Mk3
Mk4
Mk5

[reef basin]

there's very few specific builds that actually benefit from lower tier belt. So unless you have some reason to build the lower tier belt, just use highest you have. Less worrying about things

[solemn crystal]

Mk2 aint worth it

[reef basin]

it very much is

[solemn crystal]

Unless youre rich asf for some reason

[reef basin]

translation: you didn't automate enough 😛

[solemn crystal]

Reinforced plates just piss me off

[reef basin]

they are needed for tons of things anyway. It's quite common people don't make enough of them and then complain about things being expensive 🙂 but it's more about them not automating enough RIPs

[dense violet]

just use your fastest belt unless you're doing something very specific.
will resutl in fewer mistakes leaving low mk belts places

[sharp basin]

Guys, I’m (very) early game (PS5) : biomass Burner factory for basic electricity ⚡️ first THEN I’ll think about my 1st shitty factories?

Sorry, I’m french, am I not clear?

[reef basin]

it's not really clear what you're asking for/about

[somber monolith]

When should I rebuild my early factory’s? Mk2 miners or just when it’s not enough anymore

[sharp basin]

I mean : first thing I should do is automate electricity with Biomass burners? That will THEN generate power for producing the first things I need?

[dense violet]

eh, you never have to. But it's pretty common to revamp things after yo ubuild coal power, As it's often a total mess

[reef basin]

up to you, personal preference is: never

keep old, build new. No reason to dismantle perfectly functional factory

[dense violet]

well yes, you do need power to automate things

[somber monolith]

I rebuild after coal and now have mk2 miners

[reef basin]

yeah, just play the game, the ingame voice (ADA) will guide you through it. You can also visit codex if you missed what she said or want to read it

[dense violet]

just expand, or split off more product from the miner

[sharp basin]

OK, I’ll see what I can do

But electricity first

Then I’ll see about my iron deposits

[halcyon minnow]

Does anyone know what the console build limit is?

[reef basin]

what build limit?

[plush prism]

Just got a couple hours in with a buddy on PS5. Love it.. but we’re really struggling with mining
Can’t place a miner on an auto miner on most of them and online hasn’t really helped
Yes we removed the big rock node lol is there any reliable tutorial on how to get it to place

[sharp basin]

@reef basin I know there’s coal and that’s so much better but I want to try a Solid Biofuel factory first to get things started

[somber monolith]

The Build limits when your console explodes

[reef basin]

miner on auto miner?

[plush prism]

You need an auto miner down first don’t you? Or do you just have to have one

Portable*

[somber monolith]

Remove the small miner to place big one

[halcyon minnow]

lol, wonder how much of my factory I can rebuild on console before it say I hit the limit. lol

[reef basin]

no, it's a cost to build, you have to have it in inventory, not on top of the node

[somber monolith]

I don’t think there is a limit as there isn’t on pc idk about console

[plush prism]

Maybe we had it equipped when we tried.. we tried a bunch of different things but maybe we lizard dog brained it and just didn’t do it with it in inventory

[reef basin]

not sure if equipped works. Just keep it in inventory

[dense violet]

if you have an autominer in hte way it won't build
if there are creatures in the way it won't build

[halcyon minnow]

You can alter the one on PC limit the console limit one is more hard coded due to memory constraints

[plush prism]

Yeah that could be why. We could be big dumb it wouldn’t surprise me the tiniest bit

[reef basin]

there is on PC

[sharp basin]

There’s no way to just MOVE a building?

I have to deconstruct/reconstruct?

[somber monolith]

What? I’ve never seen a limit how do I see it

[sharp basin]

OK

[reef basin]

you don't, until you hit it

[halcyon minnow]

Best way of doing this is make it a blueprint on the blueprint builder

[somber monolith]

R u talking about the Max amount of items the engine can run? Cause you could say that about any game

[dense violet]

this doesn't move a building that's already built

[halcyon minnow]

Yes but you can deconstruct it in sections / modules and rebuild it

[reef basin]

I'm talking about actual UObject limit, which is built-in limit of the unreal engine and can be configured in a config file

UObject is internal object, some buildables contain more than one UObject, it's not known which buildables cost how many UObjects

[somber monolith]

So not a real limit? And by then I think ur pc would be cooked

[reef basin]

a very real limit that some people have hit

you need to build a lot to hit it, but people with larger saves have hit it

[somber monolith]

Wouldn’t you need some crazy powerful computer to run that

[reef basin]

well, you probably won't reach it with low-end computer, but if you build a lot of decoration, you can get there with some mid-range PC

[dense violet]

so nothing to do with their question.

[halcyon minnow]

No its to do with the question instead of just saying no I gave them an solution for future builds by using blueprints

[dense violet]

but that doesn't give them a solution.

they wanted to know if they could physically move a building that was already built

its like if someone wanted to know how to jump start their car and I mentioned you can just purchase a new battery

not a solution

[somber monolith]

Is there any good concrete recipes that are dividable by 3 or 10

[sharp basin]

Am I better when 1 copper node (normal) or 2 copper nodes (impure)?

[dense violet]

!wikisearch concrete

[raven axle]

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

[dense violet]

why does it matter what they are divisible by?

[dense violet]

whichever gets you the amount you need

[somber monolith]

Wanting to make max concrete from 600

And make perfect lines to waste no space

[dense violet]

what they are divisible by doesn't matter then, you can always clock your machines to your needs

[somber monolith]

I just prefer to use full numbers

[dense violet]

don't get used to it, you're basically forced to use clocking

[sharp basin]

Fow now I’m not even thinking about what I need, i’m just looking for the place to build my 1st factories and I’m wondering if it’s better to have several impure nodes or 1 or 2 normal nodes

[somber monolith]

Ik I will eventually but I can try keep it to a minimum till then

[dense violet]

just build. you're over thinking it

you can't know what is better unless you know what you're going to build

[sharp basin]

Got it

[halcyon minnow]

@sharp basin If you are on PC for to the satisfactory calculator to move the building if you are on Console you will have to tear it down and rebuild, for console I recommend unlocking blueprints as early as you can so if you do need to move a building you can deconstruct the whole blueprint in one go and replace it down where you want it to go just make sure you empty your inventory before you do this. (saves having to sort stuff out from a small chest so you can rebuild)

[dense violet]

clocking is your most powerful logistics tool for the entire game.

not taking advantage of it at every opportunity is like cutting off your legs

[somber monolith]

It adds up to the same 4 impure = 1 pure

[sharp basin]

@somber monolith 4 impure = 2 normal = 1 pure ?

[somber monolith]

I will use it when I need it it’s just easier for what I’m making rn to over produce and sink the rest

[dense violet]

often early on you can get more out of 4x impure than you can from 1x pure

[small kernel]

Is epic fixed

[somber monolith]

Wdym?

[dense violet]

because you're limited by your belt speed. For most of hte game you can't extract everythign from 1 pure node

but you can almost always extract everything from impure nodes.

hence 4x impure being more useful

[somber monolith]

True

[small kernel]

Is the Xbox crashing fixed

[reef basin]

any recipes are dividable

[reef basin]

"better" is the one that has what you need. Hard to plan a factory when you don't have a plan yet

[somber monolith]

Does unclocking use less power?

It still says 4MW

[dense violet]

under clocking?
yes
but the differences in power for over and under clockign are basically nothing

[dense violet]

it changes next time it starts a cycle

[somber monolith]

Thx

[reef basin]

it's slightly more/less power when over/underclocking, but it's not some huge change that would be worth considering imo

[somber monolith]

If I had two machines running 50% would they both add up to one machine running at 100%?

[reef basin]

in production? yes
in power consumption? no, they would use slightly less

[somber monolith]

Why would my conveyors be backing up if it’s 3 90 belts going into a 270?

[reef basin]

math error, lower tier conveyor somewhere, tons of possibilities

[somber monolith]

It’s not any of those cause I just checked 3 times

[reef basin]

well without images we can't really tell. Make a thread in #1038092680493801533 if you want us to help you

[somber monolith]

Could it be my concrete machines are making concrete at odd times?

None are in sync

[somber monolith]

Fixed it it was the way I was combining them

[dense violet]

are you merging nodes?

[somber monolith]

No I was merging a belt onto another one then merging that other one into another one but I was merging them all in the middle of the other instead of at the end

[reef basin]

that wouldn't make a difference

[somber monolith]

It did cause everything works perfectly now

Didn’t change anything but where they connected

[reef basin]

well, unless you had a backlog of items before but as you rebuilt it the backlog was cleared

[somber monolith]

There wasn’t a backlog I cleared it multiple times and it still backed up

[dense violet]

again, would have to see what you're doing.

[hollow hazel]

So I just did a little calculation on what would happen if I made Steel Screws... From 180 Steel Beams I would need 36 constructors, and a bus of 8 mk.6 belts. And if I overclocked everything, that's a box of 20 belts.

... how many Cargo Train Cars would that turn into if I don't want the flow to stop? 😅

[reef basin]

you wouldn't need a bus

also, if you're making screws, make them in front of machines that need them, don't merge them onto belts

[somber monolith]

It’s fixed now so I can’t show it

[hollow hazel]

🤔 What machine/recipe needs exactly 260 / min?

[reef basin]

any, if you clock it to need 260/min

(but you can also clock it to need e.g. 130 and use 1 constructor -> 2 machines, or anything like that)

[somber monolith]

4 reinforced iron plates

[reef basin]

that's 240/min (at 100% clock)

[hollow hazel]

with 20 left over for.....

[somber monolith]

I thought it said 240 mb

[reef basin]

or just underclock the constructor to 92.3077%

seriously, use clock speed, best logistical tool in the game

[slender osprey]

Is satisfactory good on console (never played the game)

[reef basin]

I wouldn't say it's good, but it's probably not bad either

[dense violet]

it currently has a number of bugs

personally using a controller for the game sounds like what I'd do to torture people though

[slender osprey]

Oh...okay

[somber monolith]

How do you even do anything on controller there’s 12-13 buttons

[dense violet]

no idea if you can use a keyboard and mouse with consoles these days though.

[reef basin]

not with sf

[slender osprey]

You can but i dont have one

[somber monolith]

You can connect one but idk bout use it

[dense violet]

greeny is usually pretty up to date on things, I believe him

XBox Store Link / PlayStation Store Link
More information will be found in #announcements

Will it allow crossplay? -> Between consoles: yes, between PC and console: no.
Can we download ahead of time? -> No.
What about Keyboard / Mouse support on consoles? -> This is not added at launch, but is work in progress and will be added in the future (no ETA available)
Is the game available via Gamepass? -> No

[slender osprey]

No crossplay between pc and console ?

[reef basin]

yeah

[slender osprey]

In 2025 ?

[reef basin]

yeah

[slender osprey]

Yeah i think i'll wait before buying it

[reef basin]

is not planned in future either

(at least for now, they may change their mind, but I doubt so)

[slender osprey]

Thats trash

[reef basin]

yeah, call it that without knowing details 🙂

[somber monolith]

I hate that they released the game the year I get a pc after waiting since 2020 for this game

[reef basin]

the game is out since 2019

[slender osprey]

I dont talk about the game itself

[somber monolith]

I mean since when I saw it for the first time it was 2020

[reef basin]

I'm neither

[somber monolith]

Can Xbox and ps crossplay?

[reef basin]

yes

[somber monolith]

Nice

[slender osprey]

And why it would be unplayable on controller ?

[reef basin]

it would be harder to play on controller, on PC it uses ton of mouse commands

[hollow hazel]

I think it has something to do with the term.... "tank controls"...? Just a wild guess.

[somber monolith]

Whats the equal graphics settings console uses?

[slender osprey]

Ok

[dense violet]

and if you care at all about detailed fine builds, tiny joystick is not the way

[somber monolith]

You could probably do fine on joystick

[slender osprey]

I see thx for the help

[somber monolith]

What’s the fastest way to make 50 on a belt from 270

[hollow hazel]

Plus there are at least 40 unique keybindings for ease of building. How many buttons does your controller have? You'll be pulling up the build menu for each and every little thing, joying your way through each item like you are punching in your highscore name. 😋

[dense violet]

let it over flow

or use clocking to make a group of machines make exactly 50 and send it on it's own belt

[somber monolith]

I don’t have the space to set smth like that up

[dense violet]

letting it overflow takes 1 splitter

if you don't have the space for that you have other major issues

[slender osprey]

There's like 15 buttons

[somber monolith]

I was thinking about running it through my machines then circle back but that works

[dense violet]

don't loop your belts, it'll just end in grief

[reef basin]

single splitter, if the machine only needs 50

[somber monolith]

Idk why I was going to do that

[leaden turret]

how else to hold up pants?

[grizzled orchid]

Suspenders

[dense violet]

suspender ofc

[reef basin]

~~pants are #off-topic-general ~~

[leaden turret]

suspenders are just vertical belts

[dense violet]

ah but they don't loop each other

[somber monolith]

Is there a way to move storage containers it’ll be hell to move it a couple stacks at a time

Nvm I just thought of belts

[grizzled orchid]

And if they are looping ,you are wearing them quite wrong

[somber monolith]

Is there a list of what items are used for building I needa know what to store for building

[dense violet]

almost everything besides screws

[somber monolith]

Awesome shop?

[dense violet]

doesn't count imo.

[somber monolith]

Ig

[dense violet]

it's not somthing you're going around pasting everywhere

[dark eagle]

chat im not waiting until black friday anymore 3 weeks away is too long man. GETTING THE GAME NOW!!

[grizzled orchid]

Almost everything is used for building but don't get to hung up on storage as resources are generally infinite.

[somber monolith]

W

[somber monolith]

Console?

[dark eagle]

pc steam

i cant be bothered to wait 3 weeks 😭

[hollow hazel]

Oh now now, there are some people that will have a shop in every building, right next to a sink, MAM, Workshop and bench.
unless it is a nonfunctioning prop that doesn't cost resources from some prop mod

[short quarry]

I'm trying to find people who play it on PlayStation

[short quarry]

Cheers never saw that haha

[granite wharf]

Can you slide on ps5?

Or is sliding no longer a thing

[somber monolith]

Why cross it out

How much room do you guys leave for logistics

[grizzled orchid]

Should be able to slide if you hold circle afaik

[somber monolith]

Also have to run

[hollow hazel]

Anything from one wall high to as tall as the factory floor.

[somber monolith]

What buttons?

[somber monolith]

Wdym high?

[hollow hazel]

From floor to ceiling of the logistics floor. Place a foundation, place a wall, place another foundation on that. That is the minimum height for my logistics floor in some cases.

[proven ledge]

I feel like fungal part of titan forest be hitting harder in terms of hostile fauna than red bamboo

If not the combo of mature and Alpha stingers - then nuclear hogs

[granite wharf]

I tried and it doesn’t work

[sharp basin]

Do leaves regrow in the overworld? I guess so but how fast?

[leaden turret]

nope

[sharp basin]

Nope?!

[leaden turret]

only way to get renewable biomass is creature parts

[sharp basin]

Then how do I keep my biomass burner working??

[leaden turret]

☝️

also you're not meant to stay on biomass forever, that's what coal is for

[sharp basin]

I just made a whole system with leaves (contained in a storage container) converting to biomass to solid biofuel, all leading to four biomass burners

[dense violet]

I'll often have 10-15 bioburners before hitting up to coal power

[sharp basin]

I know but I need this system to run for a while, i have a wood container and a leaves container at the beginning of the chain

[hard ivy]

there's more than enough biomass for that

people are doing biomass-only runs

[dense violet]

ok? you can just punch 10,000 leaves and it'll probably get you to coal

not even a drop in the bucket for what's available on the ground

[sharp basin]

So I just run over the world and find 10,000 leaves?

[dense violet]

you can find that in your local area easily

especially if you started in the grassy fields

[hard ivy]

you don't even need to leave your starter biome to get that many

[sharp basin]

I mean I already have 5,000 leaves in that container, but zero wood in the wood container

[hard ivy]

use the chainsaw on trees

also, it's not like you need wood specifiaclly

both convert to solid biofuel just fine

[dense violet]

that'll keep you going for a long while

[sharp basin]

It’s my first factory (❤️), leaves + wood into biomass into solid biofuel into 4 Biomass burners. So I just love it. Question: now that I have energy, how much can these 4 Biomass burners do? I mean, how many factories can I build now on that base?

[dense violet]

it should tell you when yhou click on them

or on a power pole

[sharp basin]

The capacity?

[dense violet]

... I think so ? been a while since I've looked at tem xD I can recognise it when I see the actual thing

[sharp basin]

That’s 120 MW, so i have 480 MW available for new factories, that’s how it works?

[dense violet]

... what?
4 bio burners is 120mw at most.

I don't know where you're getting 480mw from

[sharp basin]

Oh OK! That’s because they’re linked together

So that’s my number, 120 MW

[dense violet]

so you have another group of bioburners somewhere else making 360?

[desert charm]

the pole shows the whole power grid

so its all 4 combined

[sharp basin]

Yeah, 120 all combined

I’m starting to understand

So now I should may be try to build an iron plate factory and see how much energy I have left?

[desert charm]

you mean reinforced iron plates?

[sharp basin]

i have zero factory for now

[desert charm]

ohhh

120 mw should be more than enough then

what hub upgrade are you at rn?

[edgy swift]

anyone just wanna join my world. it is a basic world. just chillin

[sharp basin]

@desert charm What do you think? How do you generally work? 1 factory per node? Like 1 iron node into 1 constuctor into iron plates/iron rods/screws/etc?….

[edgy swift]

talking to me?

[sharp basin]

Oh, anybody 🙂

[dense violet]

you can usually feed multiple smelters from one node

[desert charm]

he's still very early on in the game

doubt he got splitters

[edgy swift]

Me?

[sharp basin]

Yeah very very early

[sharp basin]

Yes I do

[desert charm]

well yeah as he said, you can feed multiple smelters and then construct different iron products from there

[sharp basin]

I used some for my biomass burners, for solid biofuel distribution

Right now I’m starting tier 2

[desert charm]

well you can have a simple setup with a single mk1 miner (60 iron ore/min) that has a splitter connected to 2 smelters (30 iron ore/min each), and you could connect 1 smelter into an iron plate constructor (30 iron ingot/min > 20 iron plate/min)

and connect the other smelter to a splitter that connects into 2 constructors (15 iron ingot/min > 15 iron rod/min)

[calm terrace]

Guys im making a megabase at skybox

fully glass, ventilation, a 2 km elevator ride that lasts 10 minutes, im also going to put a power augmenter up there at some point

[sharp basin]

I have 4 impure iron nodes side by side here, shouldn’t I build 4 Miners first?

[desert charm]

well an impure node halves production so 60 p/m>30 p/m

you can place 2 miners

and connect each to a smelter

[south canyon]

how can I get to a submerged dismantle crate

[hard ivy]

Last I checked miners don't produce sink points 🤔

[south canyon]

or how can I go deeper in water

[desert charm]

ladders

[desert charm]

abbreviated it wrong ig

[leaden turret]

• dive from a great height
• climb down with 🪜
• build inverted ramps to force yourself down as you swim normally
• save editor

[hard ivy]

Yeah, per minute is /min

p/m in in-game units would pe points per meter

[south canyon]

Points?

[desert charm]

AWESOME Sink

[south canyon]

But...

[leaden turret]

butts are for poopin

[sharp basin]

I was about to ask that

Are there any ladders?

To climb small cliffs?

[dense violet]

those belt stands have ladders on the side

also you can buy just ladders in the awesome shop

[sharp basin]

I should unlock the awesome shop RIGHT NOW

[dense violet]

you haven't even gotten out of hte pre tutorial

[desert charm]

the awesome sink comes up in milestone 4 tier 2

[dense violet]

just keep going forward

and , as mentioned, you should have a belt stand that has ladders on them

[sharp basin]

Tier 2

[desert charm]

for now you can use foundation

[dense violet]

exactly

[desert charm]

to traverse terrain

[sharp basin]

A belt?

[dense violet]

there's a belt stand, in your build options, that raises belts, it also has a ladder on it

[south canyon]

stackable conveyor pole?

[desert charm]

stackable conveyor poles are also unlocked in tier 2

[sharp basin]

Don’t have that

[desert charm]

for now use foundation

[sonic verge]

anyone know if the EOS login still crashes the game on series X is fixed?

[desert charm]

assuming you are in tier 1 and have unlocked the base building milestone

[sharp basin]

Not even have started to use foundations

[south canyon]

9 mercer spheres

[sharp basin]

First base without foundations for now

[dense violet]

they said they were in tier 2

[sharp basin]

Sorry, french, what’s a belt in that case?

[south canyon]

Conveyor belt

[sharp basin]

Oh right tier 2

[desert charm]

for now i'd say just follow this to get your first factory started

[sharp basin]

Yep I’m going to

Just unlocking some stuff rn

Like awesome shop

Trees don’t regrow either?

[desert charm]

they do

im still in the dark at what point in the game ur at rn, send a screenshot in #screenshots

[sharp basin]

And leaves don’t? 🤔

[sharp basin]

Picture of my HUB?

[desert charm]

yes

[desert charm]

actually to correct myself only stuff like leaves berries and nuts grow, but trees/flora don't

[sharp basin]

No need, just unlocked tier 2, and just Obstacle cleaning for getting access to solid biofuel for my 4 biomass burners

[desert charm]

so you're at tier 2 but you still have no factories?

[sharp basin]

Yep!

[desert charm]

did u skip onboarding?

[sharp basin]

Nop

All I have is a factory working like this : 2 containers (1 leaves, 1 wood), into 1 merger, into 1 constructor (biomass), into another constructor (solid biofuel), into 2 splitters into 4 biomass burners

[desert charm]

a single constructor only accept either leaves or wood

can't take both since each recipe is seperate

[sharp basin]

Exactly, I have 1 constructor for leaves into biomass and 1 constructor for wood into biomass, and that biomass goes into another constructor into solid biofuel

[desert charm]

good power setup

[sharp basin]

Yep

[desert charm]

well if you still haven't built any factories you can process basics like regular iron plates and iron rods

and then you can step by step tackle rotors and reinforced iron plates

to get phase 1 going

[sharp basin]

Solid biofuel seems great and consuming very slowly

Yep

Next step

First, copper and iron smelters

One on each Miner

Gotta do the same with Limestone

If I want foundations someday

[wide nacelle]

Does reducing light intesnity with Light Control Panel reduce their power usage?

[fierce temple]

Guys is there is possibility of receiving new weapons in upcoming updates?

[coarse path]

im leaning how to put layers on my factory

in screenshots

its pretty nasty rn cuz i gotta make modulair engines

[primal obsidian]

Why are. There no foundations

[coarse path]

there are foundations

i just had to add a few crafters that were floating for the modulair engines

[last prism]

Thinking about getting into this game for the first time on Xbox. Is there a guide for starting out or something?

[coarse path]

i made a factory but it doesnt look that nice tbh

im new to the game

[primal obsidian]

me too

[coarse path]

best game ever

[primal obsidian]

I just started playing

[coarse path]

just learn yourself at the start

[primal obsidian]

but then I joined a multiplayer server

[fierce temple]

Becomes more entertaining with friends

[coarse path]

i know

[desert charm]

it has a bit of a learning curve but its def worth it

[last prism]

Aight cool

imma get the game in a bit after finish working on Skyrim mods for Xbox

[primal obsidian]

honestly on the multiplayer server we just finished phase 3 and we didn’t automate any of the parts, just handled the machine

handfed

[last prism]

So game is peaceful?

[desert charm]

mostly

[primal obsidian]

you can turn off enemies if you want

[desert charm]

other than the occasional uranium hog or elite stinger

[last prism]

Oh

[primal obsidian]

and have keep everything on

[waxen robin]

Anyone k ow if you can micro nudge on concel

[last prism]

Think imma turn the enemies off

[desert charm]

you can turn off their hostility

they are still there tho if u need to kill them for food

[primal obsidian]

yeah that’s what I meant

[last prism]

Not sure if that’s a option on Xbox though

[desert charm]

its in the gameplay tab

[last prism]

Oh.

[limpid cairn]

in what tier are you?

[primal obsidian]

wrong chat

go to #dedicated-servers I think

[paper wagon]

oh sorry

[limpid cairn]

more complex questions with crash codes usually go into #1038092680493801533

[paper wagon]

okay thanks xD

[sharp basin]

Start of tier 2 bro

[limpid cairn]

nice

[sharp basin]

Started with a strong electrical factory based in solid biofuel

[fierce temple]

Its kinda more feasible ngl

[sharp basin]

1st playthough on PS5

[primal obsidian]

yeah we just slooped it

[fierce temple]

I like handcrafted or semi handcrafted all the materials until like tier 5

[primal obsidian]

no way

[limpid cairn]

if you need a therapist you can tell us btw...

[primal obsidian]

I only handcrafted things I needed at most 10 of

[fierce temple]

Oh i also like torturing stingers

Always jumpy

Can we please get gun that costs 400000 to fire it for 12 seconds

[primal obsidian]

400000 concrete in 12 seconds from the build gun while building roads

[last prism]

Why is this game considered the best? Just curious

[fierce temple]

Cuz 3d ig

Also more fun features

[last prism]

Aight fair enough

[fierce temple]

Like shooting primitive animals from 1st person perspective, or driving, flying around

[primal obsidian]

I’ve had this game for 14 days and I have 40+ hours already I think I’m addicted

nooo I can stop whenever I want im not addicted

trust

[thorny pagoda]

We all said the same thing

Might get put in rehab

[primal obsidian]

the entire multiplayer server im in which is on tier 8 is running in 5 reinforced plates/min

I built a temporary iron factory and no one replaced it yet

[thorny pagoda]

Crp that reminds me I really need to upgrade my iron factory

[last prism]

Well just bought it. Currently waiting for it to install on Xbox

[sharp basin]

Eeeer stupid question but how do I craft the chainsaw once I’ve unlocked it??

[last prism]

And it’s surprisingly s small game

In terms of memory storage thing

It’s about 9.5 GBs

Is the game similarly small on the PC ?

Just curious

[thorny pagoda]

You craft it in the equipment bench

[scenic mirage]

can i split 4 pipes w 600 water/min and 1 w 300 water/min in it into 12 pipes w 225 water/min?

[hard ivy]

isn't that the download size? did you check how much space it actually takes up?

[last prism]

It is the download size

[thorny pagoda]

I’d imagine it be possible with pipe junctions and the valve

[hard ivy]

files are compressed for download so it's gonna be more than that after downloading

[last prism]

Oh. Makes sense

[last prism]

Basically a small thing can pack a big punch?

Quality, not quantity kinda thing

[icy flax]

does anyone know of a way to have an ADA voice generator?
Or is there an actual voice actor that does ADA?

[hard ivy]

somebody on reddit posted a tutorial not that long ago iirc?

[scenic mirage]

https://satisfactory.guru/articles/read/index/id/47/name/ADA+Voice

[last prism]

The story is optional too?

Gonna be playing this game for the first time in a bit

[scenic mirage]

yeah theres advanced game settings you can just skip it

[ivory condor]

Best, depends, personally i think its good, factorio is also a really good automation game but thats 2d which not everyone will like

[hard ivy]

I'd say factorio is a better game but which one is more fun will depend on the player
