satisfactory

[glass pagoda]

Yo greeny you are smart could you help me with somthing

[turbid kayak]

just double checking for my buddy he built this last night and he built it with mk1 conveyers but idk if it’s cuz we didn’t have plates

[reef basin]

don't go to single person for help. Post in #1038092680493801533 or something, wait for people to answer

[glass pagoda]

Mb

[quick hound]

hey! I’m looking for someone to help me with Satisfactory, it’s my first time playing on PS5 and the game in general! I’ll most likely stream it on twitch! DM me!

[reef basin]

same as above, if you have issues, post them in #1038092680493801533

[glass pagoda]

don't go to single person for help. Post in #1038092680493801533 or something, wait for people to answer

[pallid timber]

whats best starterlocation? mostly for building wise

[reef basin]

all of them are pretty good. Eventually you'll be all over the map anyway

[glass pagoda]

I would say whatever suits your playstyle

[quick hound]

Oh no, I’m looking for someone to play multiplayer

[pallid timber]

oh oki thankyou

[glass pagoda]

I wonder how many people are in chat rn but not typing

[glass pagoda]

Np

[reef basin]

it just sounded like you need "help", as you said 🙂

if it's for just fun MP, yeah, go to #1201555265942724758

if you want to learn the game, I'd heavily recommend doing first playthrough solo and without help of tutorials, videos and other people (unless you're stuck, then come here and ask for help)

[south idol]

@haughty osprey I discovered that if you go into photo mode and select decoupled camera (tap: P then R), your POV stops and the pioneer model shoots away. When it leaves the photo zone you lose all momentum and just drop like a stone where you stand.

Could be useful to make your accelerator stop, instead of firing you to your death

[haughty osprey]

I see

Thank you I was gonna make it to shoot me to my bauxite

[quick hound]

my “factory” looks like a god awful nightmare and well.. lots of stuff’s happening

[turbid kayak]

i love waiting for manifold to fill

[south idol]

I leave a few holes in my foundation here and there, and play Pioneer Golf - **can you P/R at the right time so you fall right in the hole? **

[haughty osprey]

🤑 🙏 🙏

[glass pagoda]

Try destroying it, then placing foundation. And re build your factory using left ctr to snap it into place. Also look into things like manifolds

[south idol]

IMO using smart splitters and only passing along the overflow is an improvement over a straight manifold

[quick hound]

I’m following my idol. LGIO haha. But my factory is so inefficient sadly..

[south idol]

WARNING: Never destroy the factory that makes the parts that make more factory. This is the road to pain.

[turbid kayak]

truly just make another factory

[reef basin]

practically never a reason to destroy any factory

[glass pagoda]

If it your first playthrough you should not follow step by step guides. As a wise greeny once told me

[south idol]

yeah, but with which parts 😅 then youre back to slowmode, having to wait to make parts to make more factory

[quick hound]

not step by step. I’m making my own god awful factory.

[glass pagoda]

Mine was completely broken so I had to but otherwise yeah

[reef basin]

you still didn't have to

[glass pagoda]

🥹amazing

[reef basin]

even a bad factory that makes 0.01/min is better than no factory

[glass pagoda]

I rebuilt it of course I dident destroy all at once I just did in segments because I didint have a scalable factory and now I do

[reef basin]

still my point - if you instead built a new factory, you'd have two factories in less time

[quick hound]

currently I have 46 biofuel reactors

[glass pagoda]

Ik but I had a bunch of pure nodes that weren't producing to their full potential

[turbid kayak]

yeah i don’t see a point in completely tearing something down unless it’s something like this

[reef basin]

split it after miner, absolutely no reason to dismantle anything

[quick hound]

and have probably demolished half of the maps trees

[glass pagoda]

Thank you wise green one

[turbid kayak]

coal is not that hard

[glass pagoda]

My plant keeps shutting down

[quick hound]

I got bored while waiting for my factory to produce stuff for,phase 1

[hard ivy]

skill issue

[glass pagoda]

Try exploring

[glass pagoda]

(Edited)

[quick hound]

says the mass deforestation I committed

[glass pagoda]

Try eating the green ore

[maiden nexus]

#1038092680493801533

But yes it is

I mean can be

[pliant magnet]

What is the best way to colour code my iron machines. I have them all in one big line basically and sometimes it’s hard to tell what it what

[shy mulch]

Are you intentionally doing a biofuel only run?

[quick hound]

I got distracted sniffing glue, drinking coffee and committing deforestation to my world

[quick hound]

Hell no

[sturdy mural]

so like
is that one slug near SAM to the south-west of Blue Crater supposed to be hidden under rubble?

[exotic vault]

reinforced iron plates are a bit too slow to make with the default recipe to get coal quickly imo, so I understand why people would rely on bio-burners for way too long, as I tend to also have that problem...

[glass pagoda]

Yes

[sturdy mural]

how do you get it

[shy mulch]

Then why do you have so many? Most people use about 4 to 6 biomass burners to see them through phase 1 then upgrade to coal

[glass pagoda]

You can use nobilisks after researching sulfer to get black powder to explode them

[sturdy mural]

you can't

[quick hound]

again I was bored

[shy mulch]

Progression through the phases will probably alleviate that

[sturdy mural]

its rubble not a rock

[glass pagoda]

I have exploded it so you can unless its nocliped into the ground

[quick hound]

and also even though I got to phase 1 I can’t scan for coal even though I unlocked it

and even then I can’t find water

[glass pagoda]

Look man I have no clue

[quick hound]

I’ve looked all around

[glass pagoda]

where is your base located

[reef basin]

if it's "slow", build more machines 🙂

[turbid kayak]

me and my buddy just sat there and made them for coal, after coal was done we made reinforced plate factory, we need more hard drives

[quick hound]

Nevermind I found water-

[shy mulch]

Sounds like you've not explored as much as you're saying, those things are pretty easy to find in early game

[glass pagoda]

Unless you are in the plains

[sturdy mural]

#screenshots message

[quick hound]

I forgot the map existed-

[glass pagoda]

No clue

[sturdy mural]

like you can get behind it
but then you gotta clip through it

[wise junco]

is it truly worth making a little rocket fuel/ionized fuel for jetpack usage? or do you guys usually find TF is plenty?

[sturdy mural]

to get out/ to the snail

[glass pagoda]

Try asking the slug

[shy mulch]

That rubble isn't removable. Find another way around

[sturdy mural]

#screenshots message

[glass pagoda]

Again, try asking the slug

[south idol]

Finished the plan in the modeller, pics a bit useless, but there's an export if you wanna see. #screenshots message

Otherwise, I'll just update when things have happened; I read the subtext of your messag as, "that sounds practically undoable, I'll have ot see it to believe it" 😅

[sturdy mural]

liek i got it already
but are you supposed to clip out tho

[sturdy mural]

istg imma start masspinging everyone with the @\ slug

/nsrs

[shy mulch]

I apologise if you misunderstood the subtext. I've already built something on a similar scale, took me 6 months. I am interested to see how other people approach such large projects

[glass pagoda]

That is not the way to solve problems let's talk about our feelings

❤️

[sturdy mural]

you told me to ask slug

[south idol]

no stress, maybe that was just what I was thinking :p

[glass pagoda]

No i mean the slug in game

[sturdy mural]

how >_>

[glass pagoda]

Speak

[sturdy mural]

nothing

[glass pagoda]

Aw man

Have you tried turning the rock off and back on again

[shy mulch]

That screenshot is meaningless to me, I don't use any stuff like that cos it feels like overcomplicating it. I just use SFT to determine the production lines that suit my needs then do the high level planning in Google sheets. For the factory layouts I just scribble on paper

[glass pagoda]

All nodes are pure in heart

[shy mulch]

Except @mortal ginkgo

[wise junco]

actually lol'd

[glass pagoda]

No impure is pure still has the word pure

[dim cradle]

Welp how my factory looks now that I'm done with phase 5. #screenshots message

Not sure if I'll do anything else but been a fun time for a spell. Some might call it spaghetti, I call it pasta.

[glass pagoda]

Impure = I'm pure

[sturdy mural]

you don't make whole crafting trees in paint?

weirdo /j

[shy mulch]

That seems like a bad way to do it

[dim cradle]

Imagine planning things

[south idol]

TL;DR figured out which resources i need where, so i dont have to cart everything around everywhere

[dim cradle]

I do everything adhoc

[zealous mesa]

Fun fact: I prefer Satisfactory over all other factory games

[shy mulch]

I automated production of every building material before I started on my BWD factory so I wouldn't have to think about stuff like that

[dim cradle]

I always put everything into dimensional storage that I make

and after stockpiling a decent amount as buffer, I release it for automation

Like best feeling is never having to worry about building materials ever

[south idol]

i need all the uranium, bauxite, quartz, sam and oil in the world

[mortal ginkgo]

EXCUSE ME I AM TRYING MY BEST OK?!?!?!? 😭

[south idol]

amen to that, my run started in the grassy fields, and i stuffed the bowl area full of Wet Concrete refinaries. while stocks last I beam 2.4k/min concrete to my inventory; when stocks are out it drops to 1.6k.

[sturdy mural]

holy crap

[shy mulch]

Can't remember how much concrete I was doing into depot but it's about the same, maybe a little more. It's really needed if you're stamping out loads of blueprints, especially rail lines

[south idol]

you can never have too much concrete

[shy mulch]

True words!

[mortal ginkgo]

Yes so make sure to tap limestones, even impure ones!

[south idol]

for my main concrete source there were only normal nodes available,... but I dont discriminate!

[shy mulch]

Need to get this biomass-only playthrough finished so I can go back to my main save and complete the decorating!

[dim cradle]

I do discriminate.

[mighty quarry]

So I have a pure iron node and I need to make a rotor and a reinforced iron plates set up, is it possible at 120per minute?

[shy mulch]

It's possible with 1 per minute

[mighty quarry]

Would it be efficient tho?

[dim cradle]

I mean what recipes are you using? Stitched plate with iron wire?

[mighty quarry]

Just the regular recipes, I just started my save yesterday

[south idol]

https://www.satisfactorytools.com is a pretty efficient
"is it possible" machine

[feral geyser]

You can pry my copper wire out of my cold dead hands

[shy mulch]

Extremely. Underclocking uses less power. Only downside is your outputs will be very slow. If you want faster outputs, use more ore and more power

[feral geyser]

Mixing resources is inconsequential compared to the extra space that Iron Wire takes

[mortal ginkgo]

power shard iron wire makers if space is for some reason an issue

[sturdy mural]

guys there's this guy named Ea-nāṣir trying to sell me a pure copper node for like 200 coupons, you think its worth it?

[mortal ginkgo]

yes.

[feral geyser]

I could shard copper wire and also save space, so that's a nonce argument.

[sturdy mural]

aight

[mortal ginkgo]

copper is hard to find around or used alot in other recipes so..

[feral geyser]

Hardly

[gray marlin]

does the Fixmas event come back this year or no?

[mortal ginkgo]

no u

[dim cradle]

you can bargain them down, make it 100 coupons

that's worth a hard drive

[feral geyser]

You find me a place that has iron and doesn't also have copper within 200m, and I'll consider it.

[sturdy mural]

THIS NODE IS IMPURE

[shrewd hatch]

how do I make curved walls

[feral geyser]

Fell for the oldest trick in the book

[reef basin]

impure nodes are completely fine

[feral geyser]

You missed the joke

[gray marlin]

Does the Fixmas Event return this year?

[graceful swan]

guys is there any mod like difficulty tuner that is working, tuner is not loading

[sturdy mural]

what the hell is this name

WHO IS TYPING

[dim cradle]

I think I'm gonna try making a uranium power center that uses no actual uranium

Madoka called and wants her witches back.

[shrewd hatch]

guys I really wanna know how to make curved walls or curved roads

[reef basin]

probably best to ask in modding discord

[granite pike]

I try to find the Normal & Pure Nodes.. I found 4 Normal Coal Nodes but one had some Obstructions on some of them.. not sure how to clear them..

There is Big Boulder of sorts on top of the Coal Node or I'd have had 4 Miners for it..

A Cat Node has a Rock formation on it blocking me from placing a Miner on it..

[reef basin]

you can unlock things to clear it throughout the game (hint: ||look into MAM research||)

[hard stump]

Do we know if AT LEAST the update will get pushed out tomorrow??? I just wanna play the game 🙁

[reef basin]

no we don't

[granite pike]

I take it the ||Blast Things|| or ||The Rebar Gun||?

[reef basin]

first one looks better 🙂

[granite pike]

If you don't mind may we dm so we don't spoil anything

[reef basin]

I mean you have all the info now

[granite pike]

Because I'm somewhat new but there are things I get confused with..

[reef basin]

and the spoiler was mostly for you so that you don't get your game spoiled if you want to just be pushed in right direction

[granite pike]

What exactly does the ||Rebar Weapon do||

[reef basin]

shoot rebar lol

though as with most things - try it out and see

[granite pike]

Never knew a hand gun could shoot like that..😆 🤣 my main reason of asking because I want those nodes but its obstructed..😆 🤣

[reef basin]

yeah, I already said that the first tree you mentioned is the right one for that

[granite pike]

I have been doing pretty solid since I unlocked my ||Coal Power/ Extractors & Water Extractors||

[reef basin]

again, no need to spoiler things. The spoilers were targeted at you 😉

[south idol]

mmm, i would enjoy some kind of nobelisk that could blow up the nodes - or at least some kinda handheld device that chips through them very fast

feels kinda silly that im flying through the air spraying nukes and carpeting the land in concrete in a mere instant.. but then i have to land and hit a rock with my hand-held tool for a while

[granite pike]

The Burners was actually driving me Ragged when I was Suggested to unlock ||Coal Power|| which saved me alot of Trouble.. I have 8 ||Coal Power Generators|| which is powering everything so far..

[south idol]

nu-ranium!

[granite pike]

I just been getting My Power Generators so I will quit blowing the fuses..😆 🤣

[rare trench]

Will there be a black friday sale???

[void cliff]

Console controls feel great, bought the game on the Xbox after 500 hours played on Steam. I can’t figure out how to do a half-nudge, though

[empty relic]

Is EOS down? We can’t connect to one another for multiplayer

[granite pike]

I found a Uranium Node in my Game but couldn't do nothing with it because I don't have any protection or anything for it.. not even ready for Nuclear Unlock yet

[reef basin]

https://status.epicgames.com/

[empty relic]

It says it’s working fine but when my friend on Xbox and I PS5 it keeps giving me the connection issue.

[delicate vault]

We’ve been trying for 2 days now on console. Either nothing works🫠

[tawny cobalt]

Anyone else has a issue with the truck, when ever i load back in to the server the 'crafting bench' is somewhere in the middle of the truck and the truck itself is stuck half in the foundations?
on pc.

[reef basin]

consoles have issues with MP at the moment, it's known and patch will be issued at some point in the future

[empty relic]

It worked fine all day until my friend had to go for like 10 minutes and then we all disconnected and then were unable to connect again.

[delicate vault]

Ahh alright! Thanks!

[nocturne ermine]

Hi all 👋

[wise junco]

howdy @nocturne ermine !!!

[hard stump]

That really sucks 🙁

[empty relic]

I’m sad cause it was running super smooth and all

[nocturne ermine]

Finally able to play this gem on console and we already have 10+ hours now suddeny we cant join each other 😭 i just read there are mp issues dayum

But why did it work so long

[reef basin]

console release is 5 days old and it never worked

[nocturne ermine]

We played today made 2 hour break and now its not working anymore

[delicate vault]

Same for me

[nocturne ermine]

Yeah sure thats why we played 10 hours

It was working fine(for us)

[reef basin]

"never worked" = there are issues for some people at some times, not that it's completely broken

[ivory condor]

wait it never worked for, i thought it was a issue only impacting some players or is the issue more severe than I thought🤔

[empty relic]

We played for 16 hours until it suddenly stopped 😭

[delicate vault]

That’s shite

[ivory condor]

hmmm so it just breaks after some time for some reason, guess its a more complex issue

[delicate vault]

I think so too. I can’t join friends, and my other friends can’t join each other either

[ivory condor]

i see quite posts about this issue in questions and help, i know its definitely a thing, hope they are working on it

[reef basin]

might be multiple issues

[empty relic]

We had so much build and running - everything was so smooth. Zero issues.

[honest raptor]

hello guys, just gotten into the server

[rare trench]

Hello

[empty relic]

Hello

[delicate vault]

I just hope they’ll fix it soon

[empty relic]

Me too.

It says connecting to game - and then errors with “ There was a connectivity error. You or one or more peers might experience disconnects or synchronization issues. Please check your internet connection and stability ‘

[rare trench]

Hi guys will there be a Black Friday sale?? If so please lmk

[reef basin]

nobody knows and for obvious reasons devs don't announce sales in advance

[ivory condor]

Probably, usually with mp its rarely as simple as one thing going on

[rare trench]

Alr thanks either way

[glass pagoda]

Hi

[ivory condor]

there have been in the past, but we cant see the future

Best bet, if you need to wait for sales, just wait see what happens black friday, either a sale will happen or it wont

[graceful swan]

whats best spot in rocky desert for begginer

[shy mulch]

wherever you find nodes to mine

[graceful swan]

they are fixed spawns?

[shy mulch]

yes

[hard ivy]

basically the entire map is fixed

[graceful swan]

yea so there should be good place for base

balanced one based on pure nodes

[sturdy mural]

depends what you want tho

[graceful swan]

everything

[silent cedar]

Does anyone know if enabling "Advanced Game Settings" disables Trophies on PS5?
I would like to have them enabled in case I have some need for them, potentially getting stuck etc., but would like to be able to get the Platinum.

[sturdy mural]

AGS disables achievements indeed iirc

[sturdy mural]

how would one get stuck?

[shy mulch]

I don't understand the motivation of people who "play" a game like this but don't actually play it, just follow a set of actions laid out by others. Go explore, learn, investigate. If you're just going to do what everyone says anyway, just download someone else's already completed save file

[hard ivy]

it disables acheivements on steam so I'm assuming it's gonna be the same for PS5

[sturdy mural]

yup

[glass pagoda]

I agree

[silent cedar]

I fell into a tiny gap at one point and was just stuck falling in place.

[sturdy mural]

guys when are they making the nobelisk nobelisk official?

[shy mulch]

Hey guys can someone come to my house and press all the buttons for me so I can complete the game while I'm asleep

[sturdy mural]

in the pause menu you can always Respawn

[glass pagoda]

What about previous save files

[hard ivy]

there's a respawn button in the pause menu that'll just kill you

[glass pagoda]

Like autosave

[sturdy mural]

im gonna hack you and install a TAS that starts a game, puts the save file into editor, and gives you 5000 of every space elevator part
easy

[shy mulch]

perfect

[glass pagoda]

How is everyone doing

[ivory condor]

I have got stuck on trees as well, that was rather annoying, basically was stuck in a falling animation but couldnt move at all,i was so annoyed I didnt have a chainsaw

[sharp basin]

OK, about to finish tier 2, I managed (Grassy Fields, no foundations, first factory) to assemble one factory per product (including Reinforced Iron Plate, Copper Sheet, Modular Frame, Rotor and Smart Plating). May be it’s not optimal (very few MK2 Conveyor Belts, zero Conveyor Lift), but everything’s working (3 countainers filling for each produch). My 10 Biomass Burners running on Solid Biofuel are holding on.

[wicked nacelle]

I always have one in my dimensional storage

[ivory condor]

of course I had to respawn after somehow getting stuck on that tree, but sesh trees in this game can really be annoying with how you can somehow get stuck on them

[glass pagoda]

Sigma

[ivory condor]

yeah good to know, need to keep more things in dimensional storage, for those moments when i get stuck on trees again somehow

[shy mulch]

That works for now, while things are pretty simple. But in later tiers things will get a lot more complicated. It's worthwhile practicing building things neatly now, while there isn't too many different inputs from different areas, so you have the skills needed to do the more complex stuff when the time comes

[ivory condor]

or I just destroy all things in this game that can annoy me and call it good

[silent cedar]

Exactly, I just want the option to use AGS to use flight to unstuck myself from unintended things like that and then go back to what I was doing. But also want that platinum trophy.

[ivory condor]

probably not possible im afraid

[urban bobcat]

little confused here

[ivory condor]

steam disable achievements and that is very likely true for consoles as well

[urban bobcat]

Can I use turbofuel at phase 3?

Im guessing not right?

[sharp basin]

I’m SURE it will get more complex. But I’m completely autonomous and it feels really cool. And I can have ALL the products (I mean, tier 2 products) whenever I need them. For next phase, I’m pretty sure I’ll need some. 😂

[sturdy mural]

i almost tried nobelisk boosting with the red ones

[reef basin]

you shouldn't have just a single "spot", each factory can be built in a different place based on nodes it needs.

As for starting location, anything that has iron, copper and limestone will suffice

[urban bobcat]

F. I've been talking to people about it last night I guess they didnt realize I was still in phase 3.. So right now its really just regular fuel right?

[sharp basin]

@shy mulch Of course, everything’s running on Solid Biofuel, so I’ll need a solution eventually.

[ivory condor]

turbofuel is researched via mam

[sturdy mural]

is there a way to disable fog

[ivory condor]

turbofuel also is the base for rocket fuel, which is the better version of turbofuel essentially

[hard ivy]

r.fog 0 in the console or mods

[urban bobcat]

OOh wait so technically I can use it but just now with the alt recipes? such as HOR and diluted fuel as i will need the blender am i correct?

[hard ivy]

you don't need TF for RF

[ivory condor]

your talking about nitro rocket fuel alt arent you, thats true

[sturdy mural]

will it affect achievements/performance

[ivory condor]

Funny enough I use the base rocket fuel recipe with other alts to simplify that part of the production process, as you only need TF and nitric acid for it

[urban bobcat]

#satisfactory message this here is what I was talking about

[ivory condor]

HOR is definitely a good alt and I would recommend using it once you have the alts, its more efficient than using the oil the standard way

[hard ivy]

performance? maybe? I mean disabling fog makes things that were previously invisible visivble, but the game no longer has to render fog so it could go either way

as for achievements, no, afaik

[glass pagoda]

Hello

[sturdy mural]

what if
render distance

[ivory condor]

once you get into endgame you basically want to turn all oil your processing into HOR first, as its the more efficient use of oil for the first step of production

[glass pagoda]

Never disable fog it makes the game look welllll

Not the best

[urban bobcat]

I do have the alt recipes even though Im still in phase 3 that is why I was confused earlier thinking I could do it with those recipes. But then I realized that I need the blender which I do not have. So right now I should stick with just regular fuel power. right?

[hard ivy]

doesn't affect terrain, only machines and I think foliage

[ivory condor]

no you can still use refineries to make TF

[urban bobcat]

just difficult and much more work no?

[ivory condor]

that alt, not really it takes fuel and compact coal

[urban bobcat]

I see

[sturdy mural]

you fr?

[ivory condor]

yes why?

[hard ivy]

all efficient recipe chains go oil -> HOR -> DF and then diverge depending on what you're making

[sturdy mural]

i just recently finished a factory that took oil
not a single HOR-making recipe

wait we talking about general or fuel

[gleaming thicket]

nothin feels worse than seeing my friend play on xbox and wishing I could play with him 🙁

I really hope that they do the work to get this going cross-platform at some point, though I fear it will be too late by then

[ivory condor]

im not saying you cant do it that way, your just losing alot of efficiency

[glass pagoda]

Hello

[peak wasp]

So should I build near all resources or run a conveyer belt also do I need to build everything on foundation?

[ivory condor]

both, making fuel is also more efficient with HOR btw

[hard ivy]

oil -> HOR -> DF is the start of most efficient chains for everything oil related

(except, idk, polyester fabric and smokeless powder)

[ivory condor]

there is few cases where it isnt the best idea to make HOR first

[urban bobcat]

dont need to be on foundation but will make ur life so much easier that way

[peak wasp]

So I don’t need to build near every single ore like move base a bunch

[frail sleet]

Fog in satisfactory is just drawn on top of the world after rendering everything, so it reduces performance rather than helping

[sturdy mural]

oh

[urban bobcat]

I also personally like to build and have my factory pretty close to the node but its a sandbox game and as everyone says play however you like there is no wrong and right way to play the game

[sturdy mural]

oh and anyone knows if you can fix the misaligned UI stuff?

[peak wasp]

Ahh ok the addiction is setting in seeing Ore move and make things on conveyor belts is so satisfying

[sturdy mural]

like the Packer game in the HUB
it drifts away on one side

[urban bobcat]

no u dont need to just whatever u prefer. I have 2-3 "factories" and they are not very close to eachother. One is about 2-3 minute zipline ride

[sturdy mural]

so that you are unable to place blocks in the rightmost column

[ivory condor]

https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production?share=7hY8m0BI02re7xLVziGt

I get that lol

[peak wasp]

Ah ok

[sturdy mural]

why 😭

[ivory condor]

HOR is MVP😎

[sturdy mural]

no like

[civic reef]

i genuinely love pulse nobes i have been sleeping on them oml

[hard ivy]

sleeping on them might not be the best idea. you might wake up halfway to the ceiling

[shy mulch]

Have you reported it

[sharp basin]

FINALLY unlocked tiers 3 and 4 🫶

i just looked yea satisfactory just hit xbox on 11/04/2025

[dim cradle]

It's very easy to just create more rather than tearing down and recreating

[lunar trellis]

mine are like noodles

[dim cradle]

I just finished phase 5, and my base looks like this lol #screenshots message

[kind fox]

is there a trashcan mod?

[dim cradle]

I just kept making more and more, I never tore a single thing down.

[maiden nexus]

so the question is - Is satisfactory better on pc or xbox? does anyone know the answer?

[kind fox]

pc

[dim cradle]

Even if the old stuff sucks, worst case you can just use it to power your dimensional storage

[maiden nexus]

why is it better on pc

[kind fox]

graphics and mods

as is the edge over literally every game

only reason why i have a pc is so i could sink 8k hours into modded cyberpunk

[maiden nexus]

so all you look for is modded games

[kind fox]

not really no

its jsut modding introduces new life

[dim cradle]

It really doesn't matter what game you're talking about, the experience is always going to be at least potentially better on PC.

[hard ivy]

We can't forget the controls

[maiden nexus]

cause if thats the case there is a very small community for modded games compared to the actual game

[dim cradle]

The only time when it isn't is when you can't afford a PC that can play it as well as console.

[wicked nacelle]

That’s why consoles love exclusives. Takes choice away

[dim cradle]

Yep

[kind fox]

YES

[dim cradle]

Consoles are basically only about exclusives. That's the only reason the games can command that much of a premium.

[wicked nacelle]

That’s nintendos entire business model

Overpriced crap hardware

[kind fox]

i can promise 98% of us pc players have moddedtheir game one way or another

[dim cradle]

I did this sloop and geothermal power only run on a completely vanilla install, but

[maiden nexus]

i have a very high end pc (area 51 ) AND ALOT OF MY GAMES LOOK BETTER ON SERIES X THAN PC

[dim cradle]

Kept wishing I could grab some mods...

[kind fox]

your using graphics wrong then

skill issue son

[wicked nacelle]

Negative ghost rider

[kind fox]

lemme guess

[dim cradle]

I can almost promise you they don't. Consoles have much worse specs and need a lot of "trickery" to get their framerates up anywhere near a well specc'd PC.

[kind fox]

you use dlss in every game and then bitch and complain when the shit looks pasty

[dim cradle]

Granted said trickery works very well and is impressive, but yeah.

[kind fox]

dont need to promise, loot at the new spiderman on ps5, raytracing has a lot of changes on ps5

[wicked nacelle]

Consoles have been up scaling or a decade for more. Just using worse upscaling methods

[kind fox]

its everywhere, idk why people try to do the console wars bs

just buy all 3 dumbass

[dim cradle]

DLSS is fine, later DLSS versions have made huge strides.

[wicked nacelle]

Just buy none

[kind fox]

cyberpunk is a problem for dlss, it is VERY noticable

[dim cradle]

I remember when I turned on DLSS/DLAA in No Man's Sky and it basically looked like a new game.

[crimson lantern]

Might have made one of my conveyor belts too long, it took 20 mins for the quartz to arrive lol

[wicked nacelle]

I think satisfactory is far worse

[kind fox]

dont use it so i wouldnt know

[clever lava]

Whats coming in 1.2?

[kind fox]

and if i do i use dlaa cause ue5 antialiasing is dog shit

[kind fox]

me

[dim cradle]

Yeah Satisfactory DLSS is a bit wonky but only if you look closely at some things.

Overall I think it's fine.

[sturdy mural]

guys is there anything more to tier 9????

[kind fox]

hop on cyberpunk turn on raytracing and look at the roads before and after

[sturdy mural]

i got all 5 things but i did not get the achievement.

[kind fox]

vut also ue5 in general is such a shti show

[hard ivy]

? What you see in the HUB is in tier 9

[maiden nexus]

so your telling me that my 32 terraflops isnt as good as 32 gigabytes of vram (go do your research before you start talking about what you dont know anything about kidd)

[sturdy mural]

is there tier 10 then
cuz tier 9 is flashing even tho i got all of htem

[dim cradle]

I mean what are you gaming on? Outside of a 5090, nothing at 4k is going to provide you any reasonable framerate without DLSS, especially with path and ray tracing turned on. Even a 5090 can't. Especially not when you start modding.

[south idol]

#screenshots message

I think I found a home for all the nuclear power in the world

[kind fox]

guy says kid like hes some hot shit, your weird

[sturdy mural]

where is my achievement then 😭

[kind fox]

3060 and an i5 12400(biggest problem is the cpu rn)

[kind fox]

it has been proven over and over teraflops have negligable effect over anything gaming

[dim cradle]

Yeah a 3060 especially isn't going to do diddly on that game. My guess is that the reason DLSS looks so bad for you is that your native resolution has to go too low.

DLSS is only good when you're not upsampling from something that isn't already very low.

Which is kind of an oxymoron but that's the way it is lol

[kind fox]

tflops are really used with pcs cause of graphics cards

[dim cradle]

I have a 4090, 5070 Ti, 3080 Ti, 2080 in service at the moment. The 3080 Ti and above with DLSS at 4k can play Cyberpunk pretty okay with PT/RT/etc.

[kind fox]

real honestly probably the case (i just did raytracing and dlaa and said fuck frame rates) a lot of people dont realise with dlaa you have to turn off any other antiliasing or your performance will tank

cyberpunks just the goat tho

[dim cradle]

As for this game it's not very demanding, but the artifacts are kind of noticeable

I've been using nothing but base nobelisks all game

[kind fox]

yes

[dim cradle]

I notice all of the weird texturing on the detonator and nobelisk itself lol

[kind fox]

now i see why you british freaks like tea sm, this shits good

[dim cradle]

it's incredibly noticeable around the screws

[kind fox]

its ue5s fault

biggest peice of tech dogshit ever created. ark flopped so hard bc of it

[sturdy mural]

imagine someone recreates UE5 but makes it not suck and calls it RE5 (Real Engine 5)

[kind fox]

i was thinking a different word than real for a sec there

which honestly would be funnier

[dapper marten]

Is there a site that make a "reverse recipe" based on an object and tells you all the materials needed for all the previous components?

[kind fox]

if your pc if i recall theres a few mods for rthat (idk the name)

[sturdy mural]

oh my god

masterd*

[south idol]

be careful, they are weak to fall dmg, explosion dmg... basically, just be careful

[barren arch]

uh does someone wanna help me with a thing that will take a lot of time

[south idol]

try opening with the thing, and then seeing if anyone bites?

[south idol]

rephrased: what is it that you want?

[crisp barn]

the pipes in this game are actually bugged

[barren arch]

i need to make the pieces for modular engine

[crisp barn]

you cannot convince me otherwise

[barren arch]

but its a total mess

[ornate saffron]

They are fine. You just need a blood sacrifice and sell your soul

[crisp barn]

how does left side of a splitter overflowing and the right side suffocating

and then you replace a piece of pipe and it magically fixes itself

[south idol]

with the right recipes, you can make it from just rubber and iron

[barren arch]

ye ik

but my factory is a total mess and i need to organize that

[ornate saffron]

Pipes suck no doubt. I fight wth them often. I read the plumbing manual pined to #math-and-meta and it helped but everytime I think I have a handle on it something breaks

[dim cradle]

I haven't really had much trouble with them. What are you making?

[south idol]

I don't know if I can help with that 😅 Hmm, maybe find a new space, make a little mark where the rubber and iron will come in, lay out the machines, connect, then feed rubber and iron :?

[crisp barn]

Im waiting for the day they combine horizontal + vertical and straight build modes for pipes

[barren arch]

i only need the iron part rn

[dim cradle]

Most piping in this has more or less worked like I expected it to

[south idol]

pasted a pic in screenshots for 1 modular motor a minute. stole from my plan, so there is a little bit overflow on the motors

[barren arch]

500 minutes? 😭

[south idol]

how many do you want :P/

[barren arch]

at least 2

cuz it will take forever and i dont play much time

[south idol]

lets make it 5, just to be safe then

[hard ivy]

They're fucked, but the pipes themselves are actually working as the devs intended.

Junctions and valves are mildly bugged tho

[barren arch]

holy shit

[wicked nacelle]

Differentiating pipes from junctions is functionally useless

[south idol]

that is with iron wire / iron pipes. Needs 700MW without the smelting of the ore

[sturdy mural]

guys whats the most efficient inhaler

[south idol]

..inhaler? like for asthma?

[dim cradle]

I'm guessing they mean the healing inhalers.

[south idol]

haw!

i tend to do the one thats bacon/nuts/berries, since i grab them from all over

[sturdy mural]

like for being beaten to death with a rock from a hog

[ornate saffron]

I thought they all healed the same. Just diffrent ways to make them

[dim cradle]

I dunno if anything of them are most efficient. It kind of depends on what you bothered to pick up along the way

[barren arch]

i just build 16 smelters lol

that will take so much time 😭

[south idol]

dont you have blueprints?

[dim cradle]

That's really nothing. Use the blueprint machine.

[ornate saffron]

Use the blue printer so much easier

[barren arch]

i have, i just dont remember to use

[ornate saffron]

You don't have to. Just makes your life easier

[barren arch]

ill be making 480 iron ingots

[south idol]

now is your chance. make a blueprint for smelters, constructors and assemblers, make it so it tiles, give it foundation in the blueprint and make power poles on both sides so they're easy to connect

never worry again

[dim cradle]

For inhalers, I guess technically you want to avoid using meat for them since that can be used for DNA coupons.

[quick hound]

URGENT! CHECK #screenshots! I CSNT FIND MY LIZARD DOGGO!

[barren arch]

lol

[dim cradle]

Mycelia is also super easy to get if you visit the swamp, so there is that.

[hard ivy]

Tbh it's nothing even if you build all by hand

[random garnet]

I have a quick question about trains for when I unlock them.

Currently I’m building roads to get up to my resources and for my future train lines to get around easy. But One if my roads going up too my coal mines uses 4m ramps will the train be able to be o up it?

[south idol]

mine is trapped in the rock dimension

[quick hound]

mine just disappeared with no trace 😔

[dim cradle]

I guess I reckon Vitamin Inhaler is the easiest one overall, but there are only like 2 recipes anyway if you exclude meat.

[wicked nacelle]

You cannot build rail on 4m ramps. 2m ramps is max ramp though they can go steeper slightly

[ivory condor]

It happens

[velvet radish]

Did they make the protein healer item consumable? I last played like 5 or more months ago and it was non-consumable, now it is. Did they recently change it and is there a mod to patch that

[random garnet]

Damn so ima have to rebuild this entire road up to my coal 😭

[wicked nacelle]

2m ramp is what is safe with 1 engine and 4 cars.

[wicked nacelle]

Well you don’t need a road for rail. The rail is the road

[ivory condor]

I remember when mine fell under the map, even when they were caged up safely behind walls and foundations. But nope fell under the map somehow anyways

[hard ivy]

You can't even build rails on 4m ramps. Unless you mean 4m double ramps, then that's fine (because they consist of a 2m ramp and a 2m inverted ramp)

[wicked nacelle]

You may need supports but not a whole proper road

[dim cradle]

Weird how there aren't any logistics portals

[ivory condor]

Would be to op

[wicked nacelle]

Intentional same way no dimensional
Depot unloaded

[wicked nacelle]

Not really. OP doesn’t really exist after you beat the game

[hard ivy]

Eh, imo it'd be fine if they were slow af (<30/min) and took singularity cells like the personal portals do

[ivory condor]

Dimensional depots with unloading would break the game

[wicked nacelle]

Honestly I wish they offered more “game breaking “ stuff end game

[wicked nacelle]

The throughput would be ass

[dim cradle]

I think 240/min across the map is not a big deal. You'd need to build quite a few of them just to get the output of one miner

And that would be a late game thing anyway

[ivory condor]

Hmm maybe that might help balance them

[dim cradle]

I agree, I don't know why we don't have a flying vehicle for instance.

Like after phase 5 it's not like there's much reason to limit options. Just make them expensive instead.

[wicked nacelle]

You are already a flying vehicle

[ivory condor]

Because anything that removes logistic challenge should have something ass about it

[dim cradle]

Being expensive could be the something bad.

Would force you to build up anyway

[hard ivy]

I consider all building materials to be free

[reef basin]

that's what mods are for

[wicked nacelle]

The devs of this game think way too highly of their “curated experience” and then totally went against that for much of 1.0. But then still have silly restrictions in place

[hard ivy]

Make them transfer 15 or 30/min and take 2 sing cells/min to operate like regular portals and imo it's balanced

[tender fern]

Hi

[quick hound]

I still haven’t found anyone to play with me..

[tender fern]

Can I ask a question through this channel?

[south idol]

and you went through #1201555265942724758 ?

[quick hound]

yeah, made a post n everything

[crimson lantern]

ADA scammed me

[wicked nacelle]

You mean like dimensional depot?

[south idol]

you can ask it in this channel 😄 ?

[thorny pagoda]

Help I’m getting heavily irradiated but I don’t have anything radioactive in my inventory

[crimson lantern]

What a waste of 20 tickets! 😭

[hard ivy]

Save and reload.

Next time don't sort your inventory with radioactive things in it

[wicked nacelle]

Quit game and restart

[crimson lantern]

I was so looking forward to it

[south idol]

there are other peoples posts up there, also looking for groups, maybe ask them?

[wicked nacelle]

Longstanding bug

[quick hound]

I wanted to stream it to twitch, and not everyone is Kay with that

Okay*

[thorny pagoda]

Oh thank god because I’m burning through filters

Thanks

[tender fern]

Does anyone know if there are any issues related to the floor holes for pipes?

[ivory condor]

they never fixed that bug btw

[hard ivy]

You know you can edit messages, right?

[quick hound]

I’m lazy

[thorny pagoda]

That’s what I get for visiting my power plant 🥲

[hard ivy]

Not for a few years at least

[ivory condor]

I find it funny even to this day the bug with radiation killing you still keeps happening

[wicked nacelle]

I hadn't seen any recently but there were with pumps... but you're not the first person asking about this recently

[south idol]

so thats what it is! I thought it was something like jetpacking when autosaving and shooting into the air; that my radiation was just omgwtfinfinite'ing itself in that instant

[ivory condor]

maybe the devs keep it in to troll players

[wicked nacelle]

@tender fern are you on console? so maybe there is something wrong with console version missed that bug fix? before you just had to rebuild the pipes between pumps and floor holes I think and then it would work

[zenith pecan]

Whoops, another lasting effect of my disasterous OS update to W11 🤦‍♂️ , I blew up all my blueprints, I need to recreate them, D'oh!

[south idol]

what'd you buy?

[tender fern]

No, PC

[hard ivy]

The cyber wagon probably

[wicked nacelle]

weird

[crimson lantern]

||cyber truck||

[hard ivy]

Yup

[south idol]

it is usable, if you have a perfectly straight road with barriers on the side 🙂

[thorny pagoda]

Yay I’m not getting irritated into a ghoul anymore lol

[ivory condor]

yes

[dim cradle]

irradiated

[crimson lantern]

The wheels are cubes

Theres literally nothing i can do with it

[tender fern]

It seems it can't get through the roof; when I remove it, it malfunctions because the water pump stops.

[crimson lantern]

Whoever thought it was a bright idea, well done it's hilarious and mildly annoying

[south idol]

dm'd you the solution

[wicked nacelle]

Sorry, don't know. haven't had this problem since 1.0 came out... but I'm not playing right now

[crimson lantern]

Dm'd you my response

[south idol]

...over.

[dim cradle]

Oh I just noticed I've been getting DMs sometimes too, just have them turned off so didn't notice...

Also noticed that GPU prices have gone stupid again. Every 5090 at Microcenter is 3k+. Guess we can thank ADA again.

[wicked nacelle]

yeah the FE for $2k is always sold out

though they show up on craigslist around me for not much of a premium above msrp+tax -- like maybe $2400

[dim cradle]

There were some 2200 PNY's up for a bit on MC, but those got sold out fast. Then again it looks like it's only the 5090. I'm noticing some really good prices for anything below that. Plenty of 9070 XT's for very close to the MSRP. Those would play this game very well, probably.

[zenith pecan]

GPU prices have been at fantasy levels for a few years now, I'm just going to wait until my current one actually dies and I'm on its spare.

[wicked nacelle]

what's dumb is 4090s still go for over MSRP around me-- around $1800

[dim cradle]

Yeah I have a Suprim X Liquid 4090. It's been quite a beast of a card. Haven't felt too much incentive to get a 5090. I could see why a lot of people decided to go console for a while though. The first few months near the 50 series launch was incredibly stupid. If I was wanting to play Satisfactory (and it was out on console then) and I didn't already have PCs, I might have gone for a console.

Right now though, excellent time to get the lower priced GPUs, problem is that their MSRP is already too high though technically.

But this game plays well on a lot of old cards anyway

I still wonder if anyone has tried playing this on an Arc GPU

[zenith pecan]

I'm still using an Asus rog strix 3090oc (with a second one as backup) bought only four days before the prices doubled then shot up some more.

[wicked nacelle]

i have 4090 fe and it's a great card except for it weighs 20394823 pounds

[south idol]

heh, i have a 4060LP, in a teeny little mini itx case; it does well in the game, but struggles to stream, record and play on high settings

[zenith pecan]

Gpu support pillar needed 🙂

[wicked nacelle]

my computer is sideways right now but yeah

[dim cradle]

I really like this AIO version, the main card is so light and it keeps the bulky heatsink off to the side. My temps are all really good, too.

[zenith pecan]

My 3090 is heavy enough, I got a decent bracket to support it though.

[sharp basin]

Just finished tier 3, it was really quick though tier 4 is gonna be something else

[wicked nacelle]

my temps are plenty low that it doesn't throttle and thats really all I care about

[dim cradle]

My laptop has a 4060 in it, has been fine, dunno what your settings are though

[sharp basin]

Are trucks useful?

[dim cradle]

Yesn't.

[wicked nacelle]

their learning curve is high and trains are better in every way and you get them next tier I think

you will not be missing out on a lot of the game if you skipo them entirely and go to trains

[shy mulch]

No

[dim cradle]

You can technically use them, they technically do work, but yeah just use trains.

[south idol]

i can play on high while streaming and recording, but if I turn on global illumination, the frames disappear 😅

[sharp basin]

I think I’ll do exactly that

[south idol]

ive never cared much for graphics, but im building asthetically minded at the moment, so kinda missing it

[wicked nacelle]

Good choice. they're an interesting challenge for a subsequent playthrough... they add aesthetics sometimes 🙂

[dim cradle]

Drones work fine for certain things, too, but honestly this game seems to just incentivize using trains for everything you need to transport.

I made 2 truck lines just for fun.

It was ... fun?

... was it?

[wicked nacelle]

drones are fantastic for moving late game items between factories

[barren arch]

this takes so much time omg

[dim cradle]

I could see that, this game doesn't have rate limiting splitters though does it?

[wicked nacelle]

it doesn't, but you can get that functionality from different combinations of belts and additional mergers/splitters

[dim cradle]

Could see that maybe being awkward on drone transport if you wanted to pool some low throughput items together into one transport

[zenith pecan]

I only used the drones for moving low volume items in the past.

[wicked nacelle]

you can sushi belt through a drone just fine using the same techniques

[dim cradle]

yeahhh I don't know how I feel about using a bajillion splitters to mk1's to try to get a 2/min into a 1/min

well that's a trivial example, maybe some other ratio

[versed mesa]

How's people been able to choose whats being delivered like with trains and trackers and trucks also Drones like ive not even Auto my vehicles yet because I do not know where to start in away but my first start with fluid train carts I have going to pick up Nitrogen and bringing it to my starting location factory i did not think of it until recently tbh lol

[zenith pecan]

I know what you mean there, my old drone system moved seven different items (and drone fuel) through four ports at each end, the resulting helix buntle of belts, mergers and containers inside the recieving tower was a masterpiece in ridiculous complexity, it worked but my god it was a pain.

[versed mesa]

What would be the best way to work this out ?

[dim cradle]

What do you mean "choose what's being delivered"

You put it on the wagon, it gets moved...?

[wicked nacelle]

if it's made out of iron/copper/coal/concrete, you build it where you need it. everything else you build near one or two exotic resource types (and the aforementioned 4 resources) you need and deliver everything else

[sturdy mural]

anyone knows any sites that are like Satisfactory Calculator where it creates a "crafting tree" except you can make it yourself? cuz im calculating stuff and i want to enjoy the pain of miscalculation

[dim cradle]

I opted to just deliver everything to main base and it's honestly made things a lot easier for me, but I'm comfortable with my pasta

[wicked nacelle]

rubber/plastic/aluminum are great options for trains

[hard ivy]

Modeler? It's an app tho. And it does the math for you, but you have to choose the recipes yourself as well as make the connections between them

If you actually want to do math yourself, pencil and paper.

[dim cradle]

I'm thinking about making a nuclear power belt that runs off of bauxite just for giggles

[sturdy mural]

i am using paint, im just trying to find something where i can move things around without issue

[dim cradle]

Just a "why not" thing

[hard ivy]

draw.io?

[wicked nacelle]

excel?

[versed mesa]

I collect manually using my 8 carts train my Aluminium factory has 4 station units and my oil factory that is making rubber and plastic the train station there has 6 units

[dense violet]

You can move boxes around in tools?

[sturdy mural]

it also calculates everything for you tho

[hard ivy]

Most people consider that a good thing, you know

[sturdy mural]

i hate myself tho :3

[wicked nacelle]

past that, most item types are in the rate where drone deliveries work great. I also have SAM trains

[thorny pagoda]

Great now how do I dispose or convert plutonium waste 😒

[wicked nacelle]

best option is to just sink plutonium fuel rods, don't burn them. But if you have TONS of sam to spare you can make ficsonium fuel rods which have no waste when burned in nuclear reactor

[hard ivy]

Best option: don't make it in the first place.

Other options: Ficsonium, hub toilet, doggos

[zealous mesa]

eat the plutonium waste

[wicked nacelle]

someone told me you can't flush it

[thorny pagoda]

Oof guess I’m not burning those anymore

[versed mesa]

Right I think am needing to rethink my factories

[hard ivy]

Yeah, if you want to do the math yourself and not on paper, then the only option I see are generic graph editors. I'm somewhat experienced with draw.io and graphviz and both are decent, depending on what you want to fo

[sturdy mural]

well a graph editor then

[hard ivy]

Maybe obsidian will work too? Afaik, it's mostly for note taking, brainstorming, etc, but I've heard of at least one person who used it for satisfactory

[dim cradle]

You can just turn plutonium into ficsonium though and I think that's just the end point, there's no Ficsonium waste after a Ficsonium fuel rod right?

[sturdy mural]

i feel Obsidian is kinda like Wikipedia

[wicked nacelle]

but it takes a LOT of SAM

[sturdy mural]

in terms of tools

[hard ivy]

It kinda is but you write everything yourself

[dim cradle]

Not like there's all that much use for SAM anyway though

[hard ivy]

Max matrices take 6k

[dim cradle]

But he was technically better than Frodo I guess

[versed mesa]

I think i am needing to set it up so that something from one factory or so a product is being delivered from A to then B another factory thats need a serton things to make something else

[sturdy mural]

guys do the ||portals|| use ||singulatiries|| depending on distance or is it constant

[south idol]

i know you don't plan, but i spent the weekend planning my end game up to ficsonium, it's a little wobbly if you want to max nuclear power too

[hard ivy]

Constant 2/min

[versed mesa]

This is how am seeing things on how most people are doing things

[thorny pagoda]

I’m sure plutonium waste is tasty, just needs some Tapatio

[sturdy mural]

dang why is it -/min at first then 😔

[hard ivy]

Because when it's not running, it's consuming -/min 😉

[dim cradle]

Well I mean I did all of the game off of nothing but mostly sloop and geo power, planning for that would be too much of a pain anyway.

why you gotta be such a wet blanket man

@wicked nacelle am just on about transportation deliveries Automated

[dim cradle]

You just gotta go build, throw away the plan!

Let tomorrow you worry about the consequences of today you

[wicked nacelle]

I still don't get what you're trying to ask. drones work great for things where you need a couple stacks a minute of an item type. and then you just have drones deliver fuel for drones from a rocket fuel packager plant somewhere with another drone port (but no drone)

[south idol]

look, it's all fine and dandy to throw problems at that guy, the only problem is eventually he will be me

then have a jetpack and you can keep your speed for a long time

[rancid plover]

mk6 belts and the right spot will faceplant you into a mountain or off a cliff

[dim cradle]

8*45 is too much for mk1 pipe.

[wicked nacelle]

your pipe can only carry 300 but your water extractors make 360. you can't converge those

you have to feed each water extractor in at different parts of the manifold pipe for the coal burners

All you need to do is hop into a different timeline

How much aluminum would i need for nuclear

[south idol]

how much nuclear?

[ivory condor]

I often wish I could hop into a different timeline, because I just feel this timeline is cursed

[lucid stream]

Yes.

[versed mesa]

Am off to sleep good night

[south idol]

#screenshots message

[lucid stream]

Oooh dope thank you

[south idol]

thats if you process all the uranium all the way to ficsonium, and dont use alt recipes for plutonium.

it needs you to process all the bauxite in the world

[lucid stream]

Whats more efficient and less annoying

[south idol]

rocket fuel

[lucid stream]

Hmmm

But green goo🤔

[wicked nacelle]

rocket fuel isn't generally "more efficient" but it's made easy for people who aren't good enough to do nuclear

[south idol]

oh believe me, I know 😄 thats why i spent the weekend planning all the nuclear

[lucid stream]

Im gonna make myself good enough for nuclear🥹

[south idol]

i recently found Satisfactory Modeller, it's pretty fun to play with

[lucid stream]

Isnt there a way to recycle it into better or?

[lucid stream]

Whats that

[south idol]

yeah, you can sink plutonium rods

[lucid stream]

How do i do that then

[south idol]

free app on steam for planning factory

[dense violet]

ok, use paper

[thorny pagoda]

Finally made it to phase 5, first time here

[dim cradle]

this stuff is the kind of reason why I preferred to keep everything in one place...

[south idol]

https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production?share=fUG0nECfDALjZqiZU1HA

[dim cradle]

If I need something I can just look at how much I'm making and branch it off to a new cause...

and/or add to it if needed. Screw microfactories

[distant panther]

Fuck screws i need 2.5k of them bro 😭😭😭

[south idol]

yyyeesss, Franz-san, but what if you want to make many of something, way more than would ever be needed by the game

not a big heap, but a fast rate

[wicked nacelle]

make a blueprint that includes the screw constructors in it and just spam out that blueprint. that's not a lot of screws

[wicked nacelle]

what part needs the screws?

[dim cradle]

You can still do it all in one spot, just use trains to transport the materials

[dense violet]

get the steel screw recipe then

[dim cradle]

iirc train throughput is enough even for mk3 miners on a pure node that are fully overclocked anyway

[wicked nacelle]

@distant panther make a blueprint that takes iron ingots in and makes reinforced plates or frames as output. then you just slap down a bunch of the blueprints and you get the parts you care about out

[distant panther]

I'm in the beginning of the game that's expensive and can't make blueprints anyway, I need them for a lot of reinforced plates

[wicked nacelle]

You don't need that many screws for anything worth doing if you don't have blueprints yet

the game punishes overproduction because you don't have the right tools to do it yet. so don't "plan ahead" - you'll waste a ton of time

[distant panther]

Need to unlock truck

[wicked nacelle]

oh you mean you just need 2.5k of them not 2.5k a minute?

just set up some constructors and then go exploring and when you come back you'll have your screws

[distant panther]

I'm not planning ahead I actually need the truck

[wicked nacelle]

yeah sorry I thought you meant 2.5k/minute

[dense violet]

any logistic method can move that - just need more or less of it

[wicked nacelle]

yeah just go explore. or just leave the game running and go to the store 🙂

[distant panther]

2.5k per minute is crazy 😭

[dim cradle]

Like I legit found it lazier to just transport the raw materials back to one place, that way I can grab stuff off of other lines if needed, and build stuff near other stuff that's making similar stuff. But I guess it does get a little messy.

[wicked nacelle]

later it's really not 🙂

[distant panther]

Fuck

[wicked nacelle]

but the game gives you better tools to do it as you progress

[distant panther]

Need truck really bad for more iron

[dim cradle]

I mean, I'd kind of dare you to do that with trucks.

It'd be funny, please record it.

[south idol]

mm, i only really have to send aluminium, plastic and rubber and quartz around the world, the rest of the stuff i make locally

[wicked nacelle]

at some point you'll unlock miner mk2 which will double the amount you get from each node

[wicked nacelle]

sam falls into a similar bucket, too

[distant panther]

I know but... Truck : (

[south idol]

i wonder how many truck stations and factory carts you need to simulate a tier 6 belt

[quick barn]

Is it not possible on console to tilt the catwalks to the side to make different angles?

[distant panther]

Vroom vroom

[south idol]

yeah, fair, i have to bring all of that to one place

[wicked nacelle]

so go set up a few constructors making screws and then go explore the map for a while and get some slugs or something

[distant panther]

Alright

[wicked nacelle]

when you come back you'll have lots of screws sitting in a container

the game really likes you sort of alternating between building factory and exploring the map -- make sure you're looking at your MAM for what unlocks you're close to

[lilac yacht]

just got this game on ps and i’m so happy i can finally play a factory game that’s full of content

[rancid plover]

for anybody who thinks they really know how to play satisfactory, go play some satisfactory plus then come chat with me! took me an hour to figure some things out and another 6 to 7 hours to realize the map is not big enough for phase one and two. 3k hours and i feel like a noob with no mental health left lol. but seriously if you want a real challenge to this game. something to keep that little satisfactory spark going try it out.

[wicked nacelle]

@distant panther if you haven't gone down the sulfur tree, that's a really good one for early exploration

[dense violet]

build multiple floors. sf+ will be fine

[distant panther]

Where is that

[median rain]

Can you get back items when you died to falling out the map

[rancid plover]

not a fan of sky bases, i can see where it might come in clutch for + though

[wicked nacelle]

in the MAM? have you built one?

[distant panther]

My friend was standing on the ship that fly's of ur base and his stuff was falling out of the sky for like 20 mins I think (he got launched and saw the sun)

[distant panther]

No

[wicked nacelle]

build a mam - it's REALLY important part of the game

[distant panther]

Alright

[wicked nacelle]

much of the good exploration stuff is unlocked in the MAM whereas factory stuff is unlcoked in the HUB (not entirely everything, but in general)

[median rain]

I was on a bridge across a trench then accidentally fell and I had like 3 snails and a somersloop

[dense violet]

you don't need sky bases? https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/932761153703149659/1318079364377743471/image.png?ex=69121951&is=6910c7d1&hm=5d49441a46d5d48237ce906357abb23e7cc1545dfdae182ea29b8234e164db0a&=&format=webp&quality=lossless&width=1022&height=664 multiple floors. Infinite space

[shrewd hatch]

why does satisfactory not have a cargo plane

[wicked nacelle]

it doesn't have a billion things. it has trains and drones -- that's more than enough to move stuff

[shrewd hatch]

drones dont carry alot of stuff

[wicked nacelle]

trains do

[shrewd hatch]

trains cant fly

[wicked nacelle]

yes, that's intentional

[shrewd hatch]

how

[distant panther]

It wants to take my resources

[sturdy mural]

rails can

[wicked nacelle]

the game is all about not having perfect setups

[shrewd hatch]

just have cargo planes for last phase

[wicked nacelle]

but by then you already have trains so you don't need a 'cargo plane"

[shrewd hatch]

yea but what if I have a giant tower and need stuff up there and the drones dont have enough capacity

[wicked nacelle]

make a rail helix blueprint and just stack them. done

[dim cradle]

trains can go up

[shrewd hatch]

yea but planes are cool

[sturdy mural]

or just make trains high up

and use belt elevators

[wicked nacelle]

you can make a mod for it if you want it so bad.

[barren arch]

wait there are planes?

[wicked nacelle]

that's how the game can be customized for whatever custom desires individual players have

[wicked nacelle]

drones are the only thing that flies

[barren arch]

oh

[shrewd hatch]

can I dig the ground

[wicked nacelle]

no

the map is static.

[dim cradle]

The thing to me about transporting stuff to mini bases is... idk I just don't see the point. If I am going to have to do that, I'd rather just make a train heading back to one main base with ore. That way I can use all of the extremely simple and trivial logistics features of belts/smart splitters, etc in a relatively minimalist way rather than worrying about how much I need to rate limit something due for transport, or breaking out a separate line for base B. Like some more ore trains when you need more ore, and it's pretty straightforward.

[wicked nacelle]

you don't need to rate limit stuff -- trains have the same equilibrium finding that any manifold does

[dim cradle]

Mega bases seem easier to me, not something that's actually harder...

[wicked nacelle]

if the train brings more than what is used, it will eventually just back up and reach equilibrium

no planning needed

[dim cradle]

I think if it's something low yield, that would take a very long time.

Or you'd have to break off a separate line just for the train to produce at that pace

[sturdy mural]

no
||but you can get under it||

[wicked nacelle]

low rate stuff you don't really need to deliver to a bunch of places

[dim cradle]

Them oscillators really like to be in a lot of cookie jars tho

[wicked nacelle]

you're not going to be sending turbo motors like 10 different places -- and also the trains will generally deliver equal-ish between different pickup trains

[dim cradle]

I still don't see the point of that over just... delivering the raw resource back to one location though.

can just use basic pipes and belts and let it worry about rate limiting the very traditional way

[south idol]

oh, im doing this because I want to, not because I need to

[wicked nacelle]

trains are nothing more than an extension of a belt. same with a drone

[supple rain]

you ever just throw down 400 nukes and watch as your framerate drops to 0.6 fps?

[sturdy mural]

no im too poor

[dim cradle]

No but sounds like a blast

[quick hound]

damn it

[ivory condor]

not the worst factory i have seen, but of course I have seen some true nightmare saves

[charred sandal]

Do rails not power the hoverpack?

[ivory condor]

I really do wonder how some people function having saves with some spaghetti that is so bad it will haunt my dreams

[remote crest]

Guys I just implemented the whole conveyor floor idea to make factories look neat by hiding the pasta, I've never made such a nice looking factory!!!! (It's a molded beam modular factory)

[charred sandal]

I couldve sworn that rails were powering my hoverpack at some poinmt

[wicked nacelle]

yeah they do

the rail has to be powered, of course

[quick hound]

I can’t find anyone to play with me right now :<

[ivory condor]

have you considered not making the pasta to begin with

[random garnet]

Does it matter what I put into the sink? Material wise? As of right now I have had copper wire just constantly pumping into yo ti generate coupons but it’s becoming SOOOOOOOOO expensive and king to get a single coupon…

[cinder jay]

whats the max angle the explorer can climb?

can it climb the 4M?

[wicked nacelle]

yeah I mean different items have different point values. but you should have plenty of coupons to do the important stuff if you're not just wasting them. coupons cap out at 240M points/coupon. You can also sink alien baddy DNA for coupons -- and you can sloop twice in the constructors that make the alien DNA so you can quadruple the amount you get

[ivory condor]

Of course it matters, the more processed it is, the more value it has

[remote crest]

That's an impossible task, best I can do is hide the pasta

[wicked nacelle]

the elevator parts are the most valuable parts to sink

at max tech, the BWD is worth almost 3M points/item

[ivory condor]

also the cost of each coupon goes up with time, so yeah its best to start putting more valuable parts in it sooner rather than later

[wicked nacelle]

it doesn't go up with time, it goes up per coupon -- until 240M points/coupon

[ionic gate]

where is the best place to make my coal generator factory? i just started tier 3

[ivory condor]

Thats what I meant but I guess my wording could have been better

[wicked nacelle]

near coal? coal is everywhere on the map, so wherever is fine. if there's water nearby even better 🙂

you don't have to have anything else near it, either, just run some power lines to it.. so really anywhere is fine.

[random garnet]

So for example having say a assembler pumping roots of the heavy plates would be worth more points

[ivory condor]

there is 42.3k coal on the map

[wicked nacelle]

https://satisfactory-calculator.com/ shows all the ore types and what rate is available on the map

[charred sandal]

How do I tell if my rail bps are auto connecting

[wicked nacelle]

drive a train down them

[ivory condor]

is it in auto-connect mode?

[charred sandal]

Where is that

[wicked nacelle]

build modes when you're holding the build gun

there are four build modes, 3/4 are autoconnect modes

[charred sandal]

ah

[wicked nacelle]

and they say "autoconnect"

it's finnicky but once you figure it out it's a time saver

and where it doesn't work you just deal with it not working and connect by hand

also, power lines don't autoconnect (that would be a spider web nightmare)

[dense violet]

every starting zone has at least 1 spot with 3-4 coal nodes next to water - pretty much made for early power

[ivory condor]

It would be a spider web nightmare to try to code that to I'm sure, one reason why it wasn't done im sure

[dim cradle]

I still think it wouldn't have been that bad tbh

[wicked nacelle]

the only way I can see it working is being able to designate certain poles as the ones that connect out.

[ivory condor]

I cant even imagine how auto connecting power lines could actually even work to begin with

[random garnet]

Besides looks is there any difference to the modern and industrial walkways?

[dim cradle]

I don't think it would play well with grids that have switches, but at that point you know you're doing it to yourself

[dense violet]

slightly different size too I think

[teal geyser]

New post in #satisfactory-memes by the way

[remote crest]

Hey I got a question, so I put up some concrete walls and when I look at them from a certain angle the flash really fast and i can see through them, is there a fix for this? I'm on console if that helps

[dim cradle]

Just in general? It shouldn't be hard at all. Plenty of node based algorithms for this

[dense violet]

could change view distances maybe? fiddle with graphics ssettings

[dim cradle]

If you just view power poles/machines lines as points on a 2d plane it's actually quite trivial

[teal geyser]

This isn't Factorio though

[ivory condor]

hmmm good point, guess it could operate like auto connecting belt do, via guessing based on whats nearest

[dim cradle]

It doesn't matter if it's actually 2d or not. You can just view vertical designations on the exact same spot with a sub index if needed

[ivory condor]

auto connecting belts arent 100% perfect either, so i suppose power lines could work in a similar way to that

[south idol]

i think there is a way - you should just be able to define an IN and OUT on the blueprint, and ins connect to outs of the same blueprint >.>

[dense violet]

every power pole connects to every other power pole - perfect, exactlyi what I want out of blueprints

[quick hound]

still no fellow ps5 players who can help me

[dense violet]

with?

[quick hound]

help me with my base.. it’s an absolute mess and honestly it’s scaring me

[dense violet]

#1201555265942724758

[quick hound]

and getting through phases and optimizing

[quick hound]

I made one

[dense violet]

have you unlocked and built coal power yet?

[dim cradle]

Like just one simple algorithm is find the pole with the most machine connections (cumulative across any branches) in the blueprint, find the nearest pole with power, have it connect to said pole. Exclude all of those nodes from further calculations, continue to the next one. If no poles are in range, also exclude from further calculations. All this takes is basic addition and you're only making one connection.

[unkempt blade]

nah I skipped it and I'm going straight for nuclear

[dense violet]

ok, most people probably re do their entire starter base a fter that. Have a go

[quick hound]

I’m lazy

[dense violet]

Hasn't posted satisfactory in a year:(

[barren condor]

looking for a little assistence. im starting in the planes biome and strugeling to find micelium. the one aira i have found hasnt regrown.

[south idol]

how many factory carts = mk6 conveyer?

[wicked nacelle]

depends on travel distance

[south idol]

rephrase, how many parallel truck stops are needed to account for the loading time?

[wicked nacelle]

if you assume they're 100% utilized? who cares. but it would depend on stack size

same with trains

[dense violet]

depends on travel time of trip

[unkempt blade]

probably less than one truck station but like he said it depends on stack size for actual numbers

[wicked nacelle]

don't listen to cobalt -- he's wrong AGAIN

he is wrong most of the time honestly

[unkempt blade]

#screenshots message with a very large stack size and an empty start

[south idol]

mm, assuming the truckstop is always full it wont matter whant the stack size is right? i dont use vehicles, but iirc they have a loading animation, then the vehicle is "full" and leaves

[unkempt blade]

load/unload is based on vehicle inventory size so carts are actually very fast at that part of it

[south idol]

mmmmm

i must have a part of my factory be factory cart powered

[dense violet]

loading time with trucks is basically a non issue, just included in the trip time. Unlike trains it doesn't reduce potential throughput
and as mentioned you'll need fewer carts with high stack items like nuclear waste

[dense violet]

it is a thing that people do sometimes

[south idol]

realistically, driving my BWD's to the sink

[unkempt blade]

I like vehicles a lot and a variety of vehicles makes the factory feel a lot more alive than only using conveyors

[south idol]

but ignoring the logistics, and just thinking of the fun, driving dark matter around in canisters from machine to machine

[dense violet]

since those don't get made in large batches probably very few carts needed

[dense violet]

can't package DM

[south idol]

ah, damn.

[primal obsidian]

is diluted fuel better then just regular fuel for fuel gens

[dense violet]

diluted fuel is just fuel with a different recipe

no mechanical difference afterwards

[primal obsidian]

yeah but do i get more fuel for my oil

[unkempt blade]

the recipes still makes normal fuel it just makes more of it at the cost of water/power cost

[dense violet]

depends on the recipe chain, but often

[thorny pagoda]

Is the lvl 6 conveyor worth getting

Lvl 5 seems good enough

[dense violet]

if you want to move up to 1200pm on a belt? sure

if you don't need that, then you do you

could do the whole game with mk1s if you really wanted

[south idol]

heh, i have a diamond factory that spits out 1200 diamonds, I enjoy flattening it out into 20 mk1's and slowly crawling for a bit before remerging and going forwards

[thorny pagoda]

Just made it to tier 9 and saw what it takes to make it seems a little overkill for a steep price

[dense violet]

they aren't expensive to build really

Thank god for people making YouTube tutorials on satisfactory builds

I already used my pto time 😔

Someone want to donate me some PTO?

[dense violet]

a lot of americans in the server probably don't have pto to donate 😛

[pine patrol]

just got to phase four and i feel like a toddler learning basic objects and concepts like wtf is nuclear pasta

[dim cradle]

Arguably I think you only need MK6 at certain spots, namely in front of a MK3 miner operating at max speed

It can be split into mk5's immediately too

[dense violet]

nuclear pasta is a theoretical material that potentially exists in neutron stars

[thorny pagoda]

I get 7 whole pto days a year even as a trucker local, not fair at all

[dense violet]

I woudln't say it's a 'common' knowledge thing

[dim cradle]

I tried reading the wikipedia on nuclear pasta

but they kept using food terms and I was too hungry to concentrate

[pine patrol]

”we need you to make a completely theoretical material PS your behind schedule”

[dim cradle]

Well if you wanna complain about that, that's nothing compared to what you'll be doing in phase 5

[pine patrol]

id rather die than figure out the horrors that lie in phase 5

[thorny pagoda]

I’m a little overwhelmed with tier 5 so far ngl

[dense violet]

I mean if yo'ure building with magic guns it's probably not theoretical at this point

and it's very likely nuclear pasta (or something very similar) exists.

[fair lily]

should i be producing materials from past phases? or should they all go straight to the newer items?

alrighty, thank you!!

When placed onto the ground or moving on a conveyor, Nuclear Pasta warps the space around it, which is true to real life, as neutron stars have enough gravity to bend light. 

hmm, dont tihnk ive looked at this

[dapper marten]

Ok I tried that site, it automatically puts mk3 miners lol, and is quite confusing lol

[sturdy mural]

guys is it possible to connect priority switches?
like if i'll disable a miner for X, then the X factory will get disabled too

and the other way around

[dense violet]

satisfactory calculator? it's not a great calculator

[sturdy mural]

unless the only way is just naming them all the same pretty much and toggling them by hand

(not talking about priority itself)

[dense violet]

try https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production

it just tells you the numbers - up to you what and how you use. Simpler to read and use

[ivory condor]

I would still like to know why we are sending nuclear pasta up to the space elevator, I mean what practical application needs that, not to mention it has to be contained inside of that cube

I mean I get we can make it, but what always get me lost is figuring what on earth is the nuclear pasta possibly being used for

[sturdy mural]

so that they can supply the Elevator's kitchen
