[shy mulch]

I'm confused how people end up in these situations. First time I ever tried pipes it just worked. What are people doing that causes so much difficulty

[true mulch]

I mean the manual covers it

[dense violet]

honestly I don't really remember anything about not splitting manifolds, elevation changes within manifolds, ect

[shy mulch]

I just have 30+ years of playing games with terrible attempts at physics simulation and I've got used to it. Instinctively and entirely subconciously I avoid any situations that complicate things in any way, with relation to stuff like pipes. I don't have any elevation changes within manifolds. I don't mess about with water towers and garbage like that. I just have simple pipes going from one place to another, use pumps to manage headlift, and it just works, because there's very little scope for things to go wrong in my designs. People just assume this is a hyper-realistic simulation of real life and do some wildly complicated thing on their first day in the game and complain when it doesn't work perfectly, calm down Gustav Eiffel, just build your manifold on a foundation and move on

Sorry for the rant, when I get frustrated I type faster 😄

[true mulch]

the concept of KISS (keep it simple, stupid) applies

I don't need to care to understand the inner physics simulation as long as my designs work

[dense violet]

I don't even think you can call this physics though it's a few simple rules

[true mulch]

it is a physics simulation

[true mulch]

hmmm alright, I'll think about that

[dense violet]

liquids prefer to go down
liquids prefer to move to the most empty spot.
what else?

[hard ivy]

Liquids flow faster the faster they're already going

Which is probably the main thing causing issues

[dense violet]

while maintaining the same direction? if that was the case back flow shouldn't be as much of an issue right?
unless they can do a 180 but at teh same velocity? which isn't something I've heard about

[echo oar]

ehh fluids just goofy

add a fluid buffer at the end and hope is my tactic

[dense violet]

that will generally make it worse or do nothing

[solemn crystal]

my tactic is spamming packagers

instead of using wonky pipes

[echo oar]

surprisingly works most of the time™

try it sometime

[solemn crystal]

honestly why use pipes when you can just not use fluids smh

[echo oar]

yeah but pipes are neat

[solemn crystal]

just play in u2 before pipes

[echo oar]

and also packaging seems like a pain

[solemn crystal]

It isnt, quite fun to see gallons of water instead of the pipe of sorrow and depression

“oh you want me to go up? Guess ill go sideways!”

[echo oar]

no my favorite is "oh you want me to go further? nah im not going to the next pipe segment ;3"

with gasses that isnt a problem atleast

[solemn crystal]

i swear it happens too much

[echo oar]

yep

[shy mulch]

Play whatever way you want
I just don't agree when people say pipes are bad or don't work. If that was true then everyone would have issues. The existence of people who don't have issues surely proves it's a pebcac issue

[solemn crystal]

my first segment could me full of water to the last ml

then the next one is dying of thirst

[echo oar]

Yep

[solemn crystal]

some people drown while others die of thirst

[red thorn]

When is the patch for console coming out man like thay could at least keep us updated on what's going on?

[echo oar]

As i said tho, adding fluid buffers at the end generally helps

[echo oar]

fr

[solemn crystal]

ill try it when my paranoia of pipes goes down

i just use a lot of lifts and packagers

i have a section in the ocean i call THE LINE

[echo oar]

i only use packagers for packaged fuels ;3

[echo oar]

fun

[solemn crystal]

its a line of packagers that send water to the base via the drone swarm

[echo oar]

oh no drones my opps

[solemn crystal]

i remember back when anything packaged used to use refineries

[echo oar]

im scawed

[dense violet]

i've seen it, it's not a super reliable method when you have loops

[echo oar]

makes sense ig

[solemn crystal]

well i have to send back the canisters so i was forced to, i kinda wanted a train

[echo oar]

just make a tren

[solemn crystal]

but

[echo oar]

map wide railway network🤤

[solemn crystal]

this is my no no square

[shy mulch]

trains are the goat of transportation

[solemn crystal]

i have one but not for THE LINE

[echo oar]

interesting

[solemn crystal]

reminds me of the saudi arabia line thing

i might make one

[shy mulch]

put a train inside the line

[solemn crystal]

ill add like 2 freight platforms

for loading and unloading

but ill eventually need more

im running out of PPM from the 1 port of the drone

so ill swap to a train eventually

[solemn crystal]

good idea

ill toss a train as cosmetic in there

only causes minor injuries(emotional exclusively)

[shy mulch]

just place 2000 train stations in a row and use them as power poles

[solemn crystal]

that also works

but i use batteries as power poles :)

[shy mulch]

Gah, every time I see a cool shape my first thought is that I want to build a factory like that. Just saw a thing on facebook about the spiral of theodorus and now I'm thinking about how I could build it

[reef basin]

"works" = moves problem somewhere else

[echo oar]

it makes it work more from my experience tho ;3

[reef basin]

then you're most likely building some weird setups 🙂

99% of buffers are unnecessary at best and hurt production at worst

it's also possible that it wasn't the buffer that fixed it but simply the fact that you prefilled pipes

[echo oar]

nah i dont do that

[reef basin]

well the buffer naturally does that

[echo oar]

it always made my fluids actually move to the next segment

[spark dragon]

Question about server/shared saves

1.Can I share my save with friends
2.If I can’t save share how do I get a server we can play on?

[reef basin]

that sounds like lack of headlift

[echo oar]

Yes, but i think youd have to physically send the world save and then send it back

[echo oar]

bruh the pipes are all level

[spark dragon]

Can I do this on console? Or only pc?

[reef basin]

then possibly lack of prefilling

[south siren]

guys does anyone know how to remove "modified save" warning thing

😭

[echo oar]

honestly i dont know if you can on console 💔

[shy mulch]

have you modified your save?

[south siren]

used mods very long ago

[austere tiger]

Is the hard drive library supposed to be blank?

[hard ivy]

It'll be blank if you don't have any drives in it

[austere tiger]

I have 2

I wanted to check what the other was cuz I don’t remember what the other was

[graceful anchor]

Hello im new to ps5, can i unlock ALL alternativ recepe in one savegame?

[reef basin]

yes

[sharp basin]

So I’ve just came to the point where I can start coal power plants. So I have a question, and another question related to general factories (because I’m just starting to build on actual foundations), how do you guys come up with good ideas for BOTH design and efficiency?

[graceful anchor]

But I have 6 recepes with „???“ and can Not Search more in the mam ??

[reef basin]

learn how to build efficient, then make it nice

[graceful anchor]

Mam Said „no more rewards Left“

[reef basin]

they are added to the pool as you progress through the game

[graceful anchor]

But I was done with Phase 5 and unlocked everything in mam how can I get the last 6 ?

[reef basin]

if you unlocked all milestones and all mam, you should have access to them

[sharp basin]

Yeah I guess you’re right 🤣

[graceful anchor]

Strange than it is a Bug on ps5

[reef basin]

doubt it's a bug

[sharp basin]

But I mean, you look up to YT a lot?

[reef basin]

probably missed milestone

[reef basin]

no

[graceful anchor]

No have all

[true mulch]

which items are those

give at least one example

[hard ivy]

Plenty require MAM unlocks. So it's probably that

[true mulch]

done with Phase 5 and unlocked everything in mam

🤷

[graceful anchor]

Thats so Strange

Are you guys sure I can unlock everything in recepes?

[reef basin]

100%

[true mulch]

I just told you, tell us one item that is missing a recipe

[graceful anchor]

6 are Open

[reef basin]

which items are missing recipes

[graceful anchor]

Wait I Tell you give me a sec

[hard ivy]

Tf does that even mean

[lavish lance]

fluid buffers are propaganda

only usefull train in/out buffers

[true mulch]

the only other exception is pre-filling

other than that, you're right

[lavish lance]

you dont need them to prefill as far as i know

[graceful anchor]

Roda, rotors, catalyst bars, turbo wire, circuit board, rubber, i dont know Thats the right english Word for it

[true mulch]

they're not necessary, but if you want to, they're useful for that purpose

as with prefilling manifolds, really

[lavish lance]

maybe its slightly faster when you fill a bunch of buffers while building??

but hardly what i would call a good use case

[true mulch]

those are fairly basic parts, try saving, reloading, and scanning again

[true mulch]

no, for example, you build a fuel factory, let it prefill, and then go on to build the generators, by the time the generators are built, the buffer is already full and the system starts up instantly

[graceful anchor]

Mh ok I try it many Times maybe its for real a ps5 Bug, its Not the only Bug on ps5 😅😅

[hard ivy]

And you're sure they aren't in the library

[lavish lance]

but that works just as well without buffers.
I dont understand what they bring to the table there

[graceful anchor]

Im sure there are 6 recepes with „???“

[shy mulch]

when you scan a hard drive what happens

[hard ivy]

That's in the codex, no? What about the drive library in the MAM

[true mulch]

absolutely not, without prefilling, you get half empty pipes, and have to wait for the buffer in each generator to slowly fill up before the next one in line can run reliably

[graceful anchor]

It says „no more rewards Left“

[shy mulch]

and you've fully closed and reopened the game, yes?

[graceful anchor]

Yes

[lavish lance]

1. build fuel production
2. Build pipes along where you want the generators
3. Place generators
4. Connect generator pipes
5. Wire up

by the time you wire up, the entire system is likely already completely filled

[true mulch]

at startup, the consumption of the fuel generators isn't just the burn rate, it's the burn rate AND whatever rate they need to fill their internal buffer AND the fluid needed to fill pipes

[true mulch]

have you ever built a really huge fuel generator farm?

[lavish lance]

yes, 240 or something

[true mulch]

as I said, it's NOT necessary

[reef basin]

no because we don't have farms, we have factories

[true mulch]

but I would strongly argue it's useful, if you choose to do so

[lavish lance]

288 i think for rocket fuel?

idk by the time i had placed down and conected pipes, everything was already full

maybe when ur speedrunning it

it might take a little extra

[shy mulch]

I have over 600 gens. I just underclocked 1 gen on each manifold to 1% then went off and did something else for a couple hours, went back and everything was nicely filled up, changed the 1% ones to match the rest and job done

[true mulch]

that's the same thing in practice

you either temporarily UC a generator or use a buffer

[lavish lance]

just connect power last and save all the trouble

[true mulch]

I do the UC strategy for coal generators, because they need both inputs

or, well, instead of UCing, you can just flick the switch

that still allows them to intake resources and you don't have to mess with the clock speed

[graceful anchor]

Found the Problem psplus Save is the Problem …

I disabled Auto Save for psplus, reload the Game and i can Research more Hard drives

[shy mulch]

Weird

Probably still worth reporting

[bold ice]

Where is the entrance to the most northern sam resource? 😐 #screenshots message

Sorry 2nd northest.

[zenith fractal]

I am guessing that the message you got translates to no more alternate recipes can be picked due to you already having all the ones you can get at this point in the game

[graceful anchor]

Yes but why I have multiple recepes with “???“ everyone Said I can unlock Everything

[zenith fractal]

do you have every item in the game unlocked?

[graceful anchor]

Yes

Wait I make pictures from Lift and mam

[zenith fractal]

I see, it is possible that there are more harddrives in the world than there is alternate recipes

[graceful anchor]

Yes it is but I can unlock all but I dont unlocked all ?

[zenith fractal]

strange, what exactly do you not have unlocked for alt recipes?

what item has those question marks?

[graceful anchor]

You can See it in the Video

[zenith fractal]

oh

[sharp basin]

Best site for calculations is Satis Ressources?

[gritty zealot]

Yo who's up factorising their assigned planet rn?

[gritty zealot]

Pick up a pen and notebook

[main dragon]

is there a way too set a splitter too split off like 1/6 items or 1/18, like i remembered theres a couple weird splitter variants i never bother using, and if you could set them too move 1/X items you could make balanced belts as space efficient as manifolds

[scenic mirage]

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/13-Dv3cE6I4jYDqylJV4kSw7AQqVrehET

[dense violet]

it's generally easier to just clock groups of machines to produce what you need on any specific belt

[solar venture]

apologies, haven't seen this issue after a quick search so wondering if anyone has an idea.
Im having some fps + stutter issues only under a specific scenario. When im idling through a factory (midgame) it's fine but if i specifically pull out my build gun to build only a belt, my fps halves atleast. If i try to place the belt, it will microstutter. If i try to place anything else its perfectly fine and if i try to place a belt somewhere in the wilderness its fine. My specs are an rx 5700xt, 3700x and 16gb of ram and the game is on an ssd. Any ideas?

[sharp basin]

Haven’t reached that point yet, I mean, that comprehensive point of the game

[sharp basin]

But I heard that Satis Calculator is overrated or something

[gritty zealot]

That's because pen and paper works better

[dense violet]

it doesnt' have the best user interface and it can be awkward. It's not the worst though as a calculator

[mortal ginkgo]

it was WAY worse before. basically game got a memory leak that goes worse the more stuff you build. And for some reason belt connection displays make it even worse (I think belts get prebuilt when you mouseover them internally etc)

[dense violet]

Tools has the better UI though

[main dragon]

i just had a dream of easy load balancing and had too see if it was real

[solar venture]

interesting, had a feeling it could be a memory leak but have previously restarted the game and it persisted immediately upon startup. Memory usage also seemed within acceptable limits. I appreciate the heads up though and didn't know thats how belt's are handled

[mortal ginkgo]

I am blindguessing mind you. A full close and reopening of the game might needed but alas, as far as I know it is a known issue for a while.

[solar venture]

no worries, i appreciate it :p

[fathom anvil]

my pc is breaking so bad everytime i join my friend i break something in their world, one time it was that half the time contructing things didnt consume items, 2nd it was elevators broke, now we became invincible and had to modify the save to fix it

Is there a mod to make rounded foundations

or like make a clean curve

I downloaded some BP from satisfactory planner.

It looks like among all my BP, I downloaded one mega blueprint.

Considering it ask for more ressource than what my depot can store, and more than what I can have in my inventory, I suppose the only solution to place it is to download a mod?

[sharp basin]

Thanks, may be that can help me understand how everything works at first

[scenic mirage]

do yall know that trick for super long conveyor lifts

how does it work i cant get it to look right

[hard ivy]

You need to have 2 floor holes that are aligned in the x-y direction and then connect them with a lift

[scenic mirage]

can i delete the floor holes after

[zenith pecan]

No.

[hard ivy]

No because that'll delete the lift as well

[zenith pecan]

The entire lift would be deleted.

[hard ivy]

But you can delete the foundation you put them in

[scenic mirage]

ya it just looks weird w the floor holes lol

I'm struggling to read the text
I'm only 8ft away and my TV is 42" and HD and the UI text feels tiny and causing headaches

[scenic mirage]

options -> user interface -> tooltip scaling and HUD scaling

not sure if the settings are the same on the console version but it should be there

[distant panther]

Can anyone take a look at questions and help? I'm getting annoyed about my basse

[oblique gate]

I see Tooltip scaling, but it's only marginally larger, but it doesn't seem to affect the Objectives text.

I see HUD options in the UI tab, but no option to increase font size.

Thanks for the help though.

hmm @obsidian zodiac is there a way to increase text size on console? srry for ping

I've never bought any merch from CSS before, do they usually do discounts at all, leading up to xmas, or is it generally just always the same prices?

[leaden turret]

merch is licensed third-party, not from css

[obsidian zodiac]

heyo there are some sliders for UI in the game settings, under "User Interface." Try tweaking those to see if you get the result youre looking for

[shy mulch]

aha ok, thanks for the info, original question remains tho 🙂

[crimson lantern]

Bolted iron plate or alternate iron pipe?

[leaden turret]

I typically only get stuff through the kickstarters, so I don't know if they have seasonal sales 🤷‍♂️

[obsidian zodiac]

heroic replicas just permanently reduced their pricing, and is also offering a coupon i believe that gives you a bigger discount if you purchase more items

[leaden turret]

occasionally they'll drop discount codes through the dev streams

[obsidian zodiac]

but yeah we dont see any profits from that

just cool merch

Learning the game is fun and redoing it its not hard

[urban bobcat]

@quick barn this is not ur first time having satisfactory right? #screenshots cuz the game literally just came out on console

[quick barn]

Yeah. I've got some hours on PC 🤪

[urban bobcat]

ok ok make sense lol

[quick barn]

Bought the game for a homie and myself to show em the ropes, and here we are.

Now I'm working closing out phase 2 and goofing around in the rocky desert

You know how it goes.

[obsidian zodiac]

we are waiting on certification from microsoft, but the patch should address the EOS issues 🙂

[cunning meteor]

Well I hope you have a Satisfactory experience

Lmao

[quick barn]

Other than a couple key techniques that seem impossible on controller today, it's been a blast. Controller feels real good.

[scenic mirage]

is a certification or whatever required for all console updates

[cunning meteor]

I have been playing for years and still feel like a noob sometimes

[quick barn]

I do wish there was a play-anywhere PC client, or native PC crossplay with vanilla PC players. It's the only real black eye in the whole release.

[cunning meteor]

They have their reasons

[quick barn]

Yes

[cunning meteor]

And they were clear with why they didn’t

[quick barn]

Clear It's an excuse. I'm not buying it

Makes sense for launch, but they need to rectify that

[cunning meteor]

They aren’t ruling it out

Just not now

At least they gave us a reason

They could have said nothing

[quick barn]

I know.

Being vocal about it is how pressure is applied to make it happen

[cunning meteor]

Just oh we are not doing that

And left it at that

[quick barn]

This is how we got pipes.

[cunning meteor]

Yeah

[quick barn]

A console release

All the big big changes were community voiced.

Part of why I've bought this game 4 times now.

[obsidian zodiac]

definitely not a closed door 🙂 but as of rn getting true PC to console crossplay is simply out of scope for everything else we want to do with Satisfactory. youre right though, @quick barn , please do keep letting us know what you want to see in Satisfactory's future and we will always take that into consideration 🙂

[hard stump]

But is there a chance it will be today or is today out the window?
I get it’s out of y’all’s control just sucks waiting for the release to then learn I still can’t play 🙁

[quick barn]

Oh I will, don't you worry 😎

its unfortunately out of our control at this point, were fingers crossed just like you 😅

[sturdy mural]

guys anyone knows if you can like "steal" a save file? like withouth having my friend send the file itself to me

[mossy moon]

acess his pc

[leaden turret]

🦹
👔🫳
👖💻

[scenic mirage]

ask him if he can send it to you. otherwise you can send him some malware and hack his computer and transfer the file to yourself

[frosty beacon]

https://tenor.com/view/hackerman-mr-gif-12747764

[mortal ginkgo]

There is only one way of getting someone's file from their PC without them sending it to you....

I mean... I spent minutes pondering "why would someone think there is another way other than this..?"

[sturdy mural]

i mean
you load the save when you join, no?

[mortal ginkgo]

Or you could try "Tittok liberal woman trying to Manifest Something" trick too. Hey who knows.

[frosty beacon]

so its a multiplayer game?

[sturdy mural]

couldn't one materialize the save data from that?

[sturdy mural]

yes its a multiplayer game

[frosty beacon]

I put something in #screenshots

but like server manager then saves then download if they give you access

[sturdy mural]

dang
i can't access it 😔

fricker petty af

[frosty beacon]

ask to be made an admin

or ask for them to downlaod the save and send it

[sturdy mural]

doesn't let me

[frosty beacon]

then SOL sadly

and not much of a friend

[sturdy mural]

SOL?

[frosty beacon]

s out of luck

[sturdy mural]

dang

dude would become a coffee stain lead programmer just to hardcode the game to not let me play multiplayer if thats what it takes to not have me defeat him 🙏

[shy mulch]

Just create a fresh game from scratch and build everything yourself that exists in the multiplayer game

[mortal ginkgo]

I am not meaning to judge but it seems you guys didn't have the best friendship going on.

[sturdy mural]

kinda forgot how it was set up precisely

[mortal ginkgo]

if it was "for some reason beating each other in a challenge", he has the right to keep the score up on his side I guess 😛

[sturdy mural]

i mean
i literally am unable to even try and beat him in the challenge because of lag

like
a parkour course

and if you did not play satisfactory with over 1000 ping
then you dont know the pain

"its not lag ur just bad" except im stuck flying in place

[mortal ginkgo]

I tried playing Counter Strike multiplayer when we had 56kb modem. I think I know a thing or two.

And it seems what you were doing not really fun. Just move on and make your own thing I guess.

[zenith pecan]

I tend to stop playing anything if ping rises above 200, it feels so off.

[sturdy mural]

fair

[mortal ginkgo]

200? Pretty tolerant are't you. I wouldn't want anything above 100.

[zenith pecan]

Some games for sure, especially as I'm used to pings of 47-60 at best.

[sturdy mural]

guess imma rush nuclear stuff to set up nukes so i can imprison them in the hub 😈

/joke

also how does one check their current ping?

[zenith pecan]

If stuff takes a couple of seconds then your ping is way over 1000 j/k, I'm not sure with satisfactory because I never looked.

[shy mulch]

shoot a rebar at your friend, then phone them and tell them to duck, if they duck in time to avoid the rebar, your ping is too slow

[zenith pecan]

Eww, that's evil lag!

I'd have two choices, depending on mood if I was in a game that laggy, turn it off, or defenestrate the keyboard.

[proven shadow]

How do I get the old menu music back 😔

[jaunty jewel]

defenestration....

[sturdy mural]

youtube?

[proven shadow]

???

I mean in the game

[zenith pecan]

I live in a tower, doing that would utterly demolish the keyboard outside 🤣

[sturdy mural]

glitch?? wym

[cold bone]

On console why is it every time you log into epic the damn game crashes over and over?????

[sturdy mural]

because console

[zenith pecan]

I take it that's a sign of an epic fail.

[jaunty jewel]

oh yeah i remember you arent you really annoying

[proven shadow]

Reinstall the game

[shy mulch]

I think there's a bug with the PC version. Every time I log on after work, I play for a bit then time fast forwards and it skips to 4am. Has anyone else found this bug?

[jaunty jewel]

thats not a bug thats intentional

[zenith pecan]

Give the devs time tbh, they'll nail it and fix the issue with logins, I'm presuming they're aware of it as I have seen a lot of people mention epic crash.

[torn nest]

I have a little question if anyone would be able to help.

I’m trying to automate rotors, reinforced iron plates, and smart plating. My goal is so I don’t have to tear it down eventually I want to use it till the end game. I’m just trying to figure out if I should make a seperate factory for each so like one for screws, rods, plates, and a seperate one that makes those same things for rotors and another one for reinforced then another one for smart plating. Or is it better to take the output from one factory and put it into the other subsequent factories.

[sage quail]

I didn't think to screenshot it

i clicked respawn 😂

probably cause I was on playstation and not all the bugs ironed out yet

[digital bloom]

the jump from p😭 hase 1 to phase 2 is insane

[shy mulch]

smart plating you only need a fixed amount to finish, the other things you're very unlikely to make them on a big enough scale right now to get you to endgame, trust me, this is a very common question, it's better to just build what you need for now and build bigger later when you need it

[shy mulch]

if you think that's insane I got bad news for you

[digital bloom]

from 50 smart plates to 1000 like chill

[dim cradle]

Well if you wait long enough your current line can do that part with no input

[shy mulch]

what you already had to produce 50 smart plates automatically, expand it a bit to make them faster, problem solved

[digital bloom]

id use the totalxclipse layouts

[leaden turret]

kerplode the ceiling fan, problem solved

[digital bloom]

im not complaining its js a big jump i mean

[torn nest]

Ooo Okok I gotcha so should I take the output from my rods sheet screw factory and make the smart plating or should I make a seperate factory for rotors and reinforced plating then route them into smart plating?

[shy mulch]

there's a lot of much bigger jumps to come, just warning you to be prepared, automate everything 🙂

[dim cradle]

Ideally you won't use any screws but the most "hax" way to make screws is to just dump 5/min steel beams into a constructor with a sloop in it. 520 screws/min lol

[shy mulch]

those decisions are basically the point of the game, we aint here to play it for you, any of the above options are perfectly fine, do what suits your mood/style

[dim cradle]

Well your belt can't use that anyway, so alternatively split into two 2.5's and put a sloop in those instead.

[torn nest]

Ooo awesome! Ty so much for helping me guys

[shy mulch]

the one tip I'd give everyone though, is try to have a guess about how much power you need, then make 10x that much, becuase your guess was probably wrong

[dim cradle]

My power wasn't a guess it was just a hard limit XD

[shy mulch]

there aren't really any hard limits

[reef basin]

(also screws are completely fine to use, don't listen to the propaganda 😛 )

[torn nest]

Hahaha yeah I felt that yesterday my whole factory blew when I powered every thing on

[dim cradle]

There was for my run, but yeah normally you can make as much power as you want

[shy mulch]

ah, self imposed rules is different 🙂 what was your limit?

[dim cradle]

You just chatted with me about it yesterday didn't you?

[shy mulch]

probably, I chat with a lot of people

was it the geothermal thing?

[dim cradle]

I just remember you giving a lot of input so surprised you forgot

Yeah sloop and geo only lol, with some leftover coal

I did manage to make all parts for phase 5 at the same time, but it was tight

Well except the pasta, I did that on its own while I slept

I wonder if anyone's done a pure geo only run, no sloops or anything else, but you'd probably at least need to make a pit stop at coal.

I don't think you could get anything running like that, not easily...

[cerulean warren]

I haven't played since before 1.0. Can you clear phase 4 with just the power from the oil on the West coast?

[reef basin]

you can finish the game with a single biomass burner worth of power most likely

anything above that is just "how fast do you want to finish the game"

[ivory condor]

People are infact doing biomass only runs even as we speak

[cerulean warren]

Ok, let me clarify: If I only run oil, can I clear phase 4 before I succumb to madness?

Which is somewhere around 20 hours longer than hard focusing on nuclear.

[reef basin]

eh, diluted fuel can carry most games until the end without even needing nuclear, or getting just small nuclear setup

[south idol]

rrrrrrrrrrrocketfuel

[spice patio]

I finished Phase 5 with two nodes of coal power, 600m^3 crude oil to diluted fuel and some power augmenters.

[cerulean warren]

Ok, that is a useful answer. Thanks.

I found that there is a maximum lights setting with a default value of 50 that is easily hit when using indoor lights & causes lights to flicker as they get rendered on/off. That setting can be adjusted via console command. But this command has to be re-done every time the game is started. Is there a way to automate this?

[clear aspen]

[runic sage]

[sullen gull]

The best option would be to do some searching on google or youtube for how to make one. However, you can also find some blueprints on Sactifactory-calculator.com or satisfactoryblueprints dot com

[zenith pecan]

The cannon also depends on the range you're seeking and so on, you wouldn't want one of my old ones that was 166 staged and could crash the game before you exited.

[ivory condor]

you actually made a cannon that crashed the game, does that still happen?

[wicked nacelle]

You just put 6 entrances right by short exits in a row. And the last one angled up

[sharp basin]

Guys, just made my 1st coal power plant. Quite happy about it. 4 coal-powered generators couples with 2 water extractors limited at 75% efficiency. Coal node is a normal one, one node is enough for the whole system. Question is : if I want to double/triple the size of the factory, is my single node enough or do I need other extractors? (I have access to 4 normal nodes total)

[zenith pecan]

21 of the lost prints are my light arrays 🤣

[mystic oriole]

how adept are you with satisfactory @sharp basin ?

[sharp basin]

Beginner

First coal power plant

[mystic oriole]

I was asking as it could be your first this save or first entirely.

[unkempt blade]

I'm pretty sure he's amazing and talented and I believe in him despite only first knowing he existed seconds ago

[dim cradle]

Coal power plant means you're a god.

[sharp basin]

Thanks friend ❤️

[mystic oriole]

I didn't want to assume anything, and help him out.

[sharp basin]

I need to understand how it works, how much coal I need for my coal power plants to run, how much coal I need for my max MW production

[mystic oriole]

because the reality is, 1 node will get you through I think mid way through to like tier 3. Then you'll need more power.

[distant panther]

Overclock it

[dim cradle]

For a coal power plant all you need is coal as long as you build them underwater (lol)

Actually that technically should work but it doesn't, kind of funny

[sullen gull]

Ideally, with power, you would want to make more than you think you would require, and enough to get you to the next phase. Following the standard layouts can net you a good amount to do that.

!wikisearch cg

[mystic oriole]

I totally plan to bypass coal, and most oil. And go straight to nuclear. But for someone new to satisfactory. Don't listen to my advice.

[dim cradle]

Aren't these all just the same thing

Well I guess different splitting styles

[dim cradle]

I bypassed all nuclear and oil power and did phase 5. Fun time towards the end.

[sullen gull]

Different plumbing styles as 8 coal gens @100% requires 360m3 of water.

[sharp basin]

I just finished tier 3, haven’t started tier 4, and I want a BIG coal power plant that will sustain my factories for as long as possible

Like a BIG one

[sullen gull]

Bet choice would be to go big on oil.

[shy mulch]

If that's what you want to do, go for it, but I pre-warn you once you get to the likes of rocket fuel, you'll wish you didn't spend so much time on coal

[mystic oriole]

go with compact coal then, and overclock it.

[dim cradle]

So what, the challenge was to find the right pump rate so that somehow the mk1 pipes just wouldn't be saturated despite the extra water?

[sharp basin]

I’ll do it, but later, I want to learn how to run coal plants first

Normal coal for now because of the 4 coal nodes

[sullen gull]

Pumps have zero to do with flow rates. They ONLY affect how High fluids can go.

[dim cradle]

I know, I didn't literally mean pumps.

I guess I meant fill rates at different parts of the piping.

[sullen gull]

In those setups, water is being fed from both ends primarily. And then, ideally one in the middle.

[hardy moat]

i wish we had signs that matched the degree of ramps incline/decline

[dim cradle]

Yeah so you're relying on the coal plants to bring it under 300 before it gets to the rest of it?

Does that actually work?

[sullen gull]

In doing that, and with each gen clocked at 120m3, it provides the total 360 needed.

[dim cradle]

Right but 360 is > 300, so this is reliant on the the coal gens bringing the output of some of it under 300 before it gets to the rest of the line?

Didn't know that worked, interesting.

[reef basin]

it's reliant upon no pipe segment needing to transport more than 300/min

[dim cradle]

Basically same thing yeah

Okay fair enough, honestly I just separate it into different sets where I don't need to rely on that sort of thing but

w/e lol

[sullen gull]

This is why it is ideally fed from both ends and the center. the center line evens out the max required. 120 from both ends, and 120 in the middle. It allows a full 360 possible. Splitting it up is actually making things more complicated imo.

Everyone seems to want to treat pipes like belts with thier throughput and I don't feel that is the best way to think about it.

[sullen berry]

lol this is exactly how i fixed my fuel generators , they needed 600 I tried to do it through one line and the end ones never saw fuel till that change lol

[sullen gull]

I am huge advocate of never making a "deadhead" manifold for machines. It should be a loop manifold with the feeds being distributed across it.. similar to the "common" coal gen setups.

[dim cradle]

I mean, it's hard to say for me whether the fluid in the pipe is treated as a constant, or a segment. I didn't know it was the latter. So it's just not something you would expect that pipe with a total rating of 300 could actually carry 360 if no individual segment exceeded 300. It's reliant on the coal plants at one end consuming it before it gets to any other segment.

[clear spade]

hello

[dim cradle]

For me personally I just opted to use pairs of extractors for 6 coal generators, and overclock one of the extractors to make it 270

[sharp basin]

I have a problem with my coal power plant. 4 coal-powered generators. 1 source of coal, divided into 4 with splitters. But only the first 2 generators are full (100 coal), the last two don’t fill up. Just pausing the first 2 for a while will suffixe, then 4 of them will be full?

[dim cradle]

that way I didn't have to fuss with any of that

[unkempt blade]

the liquid both exists and doesn't exist until the moment when you examine the pipe then only the state it's in at that moment remains

[sullen gull]

Whatever works for you is fine and no argument there. However it may not always be considered the most "efficient". Though that term can be defined different amongst different people.

[wicked nacelle]

how much coal are you making, how much coal are you trying to use? if you're making (and moving) the same or more than you're using then they'll reach 100%. If you're not they won't.

[dim cradle]

Well it was the desert, so only had that reasonably small waterfall area of water. Was worried about conserving it... at first...

[sullen berry]

Load balancer , manifolds suck sooner you swap away from them the better imo

[wicked nacelle]

no

[reef basin]

what? manifolds do the same as balancers

[wicked nacelle]

I mean you can IMO that all you want, but it's bad advice

[unkempt blade]

neither one is remotely as good as the cartifold though

[sullen gull]

Balancers are really only ever needed with nuclear imo.

[reef basin]

there's no difference once manifold is filled up

[wicked nacelle]

never needed with anything

[reef basin]

not "needed" even there

sure, they reduce radiation, but they are not needed

[dim cradle]

Space wise it's a bit more efficient for larger buildouts of coal I think. Power wise, yeah it's probably nonlinear for any overclocking. Power shards are too plentiful for me to consider that a detractor, since it's 1 shard per 6 generators effectively.

[sullen berry]

You just said it 😂 the spin up can be obnoxious and take for ever 😂 I love how I get 15 reply’s 😂😂😂😂

[wicked nacelle]

the spinup happens while you go build something else so who cares how long it takes

[sullen berry]

One works perfectly , one’s forest gump

[sharp basin]

@wicked nacelle Each of the 4 coal powered generators uses 15 coal/minute, Miner extracts 60/minute so it should be perfect, it’s just about the rythm the generators are filling

[unkempt blade]

just build the stages of production in order and turn them on immediately after building them then you'll pretty much already be saturated

[reef basin]

during the spin up it usually works at around 70-80% capacity, so you're already making things anyway
it's not like you need to wait, you can do other things in the meantime

and you can completely remove wait by prefilling or partially remove it by buffering previous step while building next one

[wicked nacelle]

just watch the first one that isn't full and you'll see that it's filling. then watch the next one once the first one is full, it will be filling.. then the third one. then the last one will reach equilibrium at 100% utilization (but it won't fill beyond that)

[dim cradle]

I do like load balancers but this game doesn't like load balancers. The auto linkup really likes manifolds.

Most things you build for your own sanity should be manifolds, unless they're just one-offs.

[wicked nacelle]

as long as the next one in the manifold is filling then you're good.

[dim cradle]

If your manifolds aren't working, then you calculated your input incorrectly

[sharp basin]

That’s my point, first 2 reach 100 coal with no problem, last two stay at 0/1

[reef basin]

that's fine, they are not supposed to fill up

[wicked nacelle]

oops, my bad. technically the last two get exactly the same amount each -- so they're both expected to not fill. But they'll run at 100%

[reef basin]

as long as they work at 100% capacity, they don't need to be full

[dim cradle]

The idea of the manifold is the first sets in the line saturate so that more of it gets split off to the rest gradually

[sullen gull]

Space wise: 64x coal gens on the lake near the grasslands: #screenshots message

[dim cradle]

As long as your input rate matches your consumption rate, your efficiency is 100%

[wicked nacelle]

@sharp basin if you really want it full throw a couple baby miners down on the coal node by the big boy miner and then grab the coal off and put it into the last two by hand to fill them up

[sharp basin]

I managed to get them stay at 57-58 coal by stopping the first two that are filled at 100, seems to work that way

[sharp basin]

Oooh

[wicked nacelle]

yes, if you consume less than you produce, the buffer will increase

[sharp basin]

Manually

[unkempt blade]

same as the cartifold but the cartifold has a higher number of items to reach saturation and far more adorable vehicles driving around

[sharp basin]

I just want to 4 of them to stay at 100

[rotund blaze]

are the rails in stations supposed to jitter so much?

[sullen berry]

Manifolds are gross and the bigger you scale the worse it gets, to the point you need belt compressors if you’re not running at 100% , these issues don’t exist with load balancing lol

[sullen gull]

cartifold 😏

[wicked nacelle]

once you fill them to 100 they'll stay there

[sharp basin]

Perfect

[white dawn]

Contrariwise, balancers also often get gross the bigger you try and scale them, IMO. :D

[hard stump]

Starting to look like the update isn’t hitting today Etheir 🙁

[white dawn]

In practice, the only manifolds I get annoyed at waiting to fill are Aluminum Scrap and a couple of the FICSMAS items

[wicked nacelle]

also balancers have to be basically rebuilt if you change how much stuff you want to build

[clear spade]

do you guys have any tips on this game

[sharp basin]

@wicked nacelle And because my Miner gives me just what I need for my 4 coal-power plants, I should use the 3 other nodes if I want to build 12 other coal-power plants? No other way?

[wicked nacelle]

NO

[lapis citrus]

Build shit

[sullen gull]

No need to shout mate.

[white dawn]

Ignore this Discord, ignore youtube, ignore streamers. Make your own mistakes, take your time, and enjoy learning the game

[unkempt blade]

use factory carts for everything and use lots of pretty colors when you build stuff

[clear spade]

caps lock sorry

[dim cradle]

I was just making the argument of doing a 120/150 2 set of water extractors per 6 generators, vs relying on pipe physics to just do 3x120 to 8, nothing more really. I think it's simpler and saves space on the water, as well as probably piping, with a minimal efficiency cost due to a water extractor being overclocked per set of 6. But that's just my preference.

[sullen gull]

I'm pretty sure the math says otherwise. Hence why the "default common" setups on the wiki are usually in sections of 8

But, I don't know fully. So, as I said before, if it works, it works

[sharp basin]

@wicked nacelle or what? Overclocking? MK3-4-5 conveyors? MK2 Miner?

[unkempt blade]

the 8 gen setup is nice too because you're maxed out at 120/min conveyors when you first get coal too

[dim cradle]

I mean if we're doing math, 6 generators divided by 2 water extractors is 3 generators per extractor. 8 generators divided by 3 extractors is 2.6666667. So it does save space.

But the coal division is a bit less neat yeah

[wicked nacelle]

yeah as you unlock bigger miners and faster belts you can build a lot more on them -- but you don't need crazy amounts of coal power to get to the next tier of power which basically makes it so you don't need coal power anymore

16 coal generators will get you to the next tier probably

[sullen gull]

If talking "efficiency", you'll need to look at power required-generated and such as well .

[dim cradle]

I know, I already said you will need to OC one of the extractors a little bit, so it won't be quite as efficient energy wise

Again it's all preference, that's just the way I did it

But for funsies let me check what the difference is in usage

[sullen gull]

Please don't misunderstand as well, I am not saying you, or how you're making thing are "wrong" per say.

[sharp basin]

You were right, all 4 stay at 100 max coal and it’s BEAUTIFUL to see

[dim cradle]

oh lol I'm in the middle of the red forest, hope this river is deep enough XD

[sharp basin]

I’m gonna do just that, with 4 I only generate 300 MW

[heavy anvil]

remember that overclocking exists

[wicked nacelle]

until you get next tier of miner and belt I woudn't worry about it. that should sustain you for a while 🙂

[white dawn]

Spoiler: there's a decent chance it won't be. :D

(Eventually one gets into the habit of checking river depth first before making actual plans. :P)

[dim cradle]

It actually was

[dim cradle]

Okay so overclocking one of the extractors to 125%, bringing it to 150, results in an increase of 6.9MW (lol nice)

[white dawn]

Aha, excellent! There's definitely places that work, yeah, though unless I'm misremembering, they're in the minority. :)

[dim cradle]

It was just one tiny bend of it, it barely worked lmao

[sharp basin]

@wicked nacelle Wait, should I look at « production » or « capacity »? I don’t see the difference. Capacity is 360 MW

[white dawn]

Those only differ when you have Biomass Burners in your network

[dim cradle]

So you're losing a little under 10% of one coal plant to do that instead

But saving a little space on the water

[wicked nacelle]

I try to keep my production at 150% of my "current consumption" -- max consumption isn't that useful

[dim cradle]

Tradeoffs

[sharp basin]

I’m talking about my coal-powered generators!

[white dawn]

Bio Burners provide extra "capacity" but they scale with demand, so with bio burners the Production + Capacity lines are only exactly equal if you're exactly using 100% of your burners' power

[wicked nacelle]

... yeah waht apolka said 🙂

[white dawn]

That's what I mean -- unless you have Bio Burners, those two lines will be equal.

[fossil cargo]

would logistics spaghetti using rockets be called rockeghetti or spagocket

[wicked nacelle]

bioburners are basically "oh shit" power. now that you have coal, they'll only run if you're using all your coal power

[sharp basin]

Oh SHIT, forget to turn off my Bio burners that I use to start the power 😂😂😂😂

[wicked nacelle]

ideally you enver want your bioburners to turn on ever again

[wicked nacelle]

nono you don't have to

they're the only power in the game that only runs as needed

it's actually really nice to leave them on just in case

[white dawn]

Once you're past Phase 1, the "Capacity" line is a kind of weird vestigial thing which doesn't matter anymore (unless you've purposefully left Bio Burners on your network, though IMO if you want emergency power production, Power Storage is the better bet)

Way back in the day it used to be more important because originally all power generators in the game scaled with usage

[dim cradle]

wtf this radioactive boar just blew up a mushroom with my bomb on it by throwing a rock at it.

I wanted that shroom...

[unkempt blade]

yeah but now you have a great new boar friend instead

[sullen gull]

You can either try to reload an autosave, or you can replace it using SCIM

[dim cradle]

Eh I'm not that hung up about it, oh well

Also like those rocks are kinda BS aren't they

Have had them shoot at me from past where I could even see them

[wintry carbon]

how to open a cbp file in satisfactory?

[sullen gull]

Btw, do console users have the ability to export/import saves/blueprints?

[wintry carbon]

or where to put it to be able to open it ?

[dim cradle]

pure quartz in a cave that isn't guarded by spiders

wtf am I playing?

[sullen gull]

cbp files are megaprints and are used with SCIM

[wintry carbon]

tnx

[sharp basin]

I don’t need them now that the coal-powered plants are working? Why would I need the bio-burners?

[ivory condor]

megaprints, yeah im not touching those

[wicked nacelle]

they're handy in case you accidentally use too much power -- the bio burners will cover yer ass

[sullen gull]

I use them all the time to transfer large builds from a creative to a "working" save

[ivory condor]

I have to, with disaster level results

[white dawn]

(Although, as I say, if you want emergency power capacity, IMO Power Storage is a better solution than Bio Burners)

[wicked nacelle]

technically you don't need them, but they're already set up and working so why futz

[rotund blaze]

its impossible to merge two rails...

[wintry carbon]

was looking for a good train network setup

[ivory condor]

because the building it somehow puts into the world end up horrible levels of unoptimized somehow, personally i think its a issue with scim that for whatever reason was never fixed

[wintry carbon]

its hard as i do not have the biggest bp available yet

[ivory condor]

which is a shame scim megaprints would be more useful if they werent so inherently bad performance wise to actually use

[rotund blaze]

why is there no option to swap the rail direction? they can only go in reverse

[sharp basin]

@wicked nacelle MK2 Miner does what, it doubles extraction? Triples? How much?

[wicked nacelle]

each tier doubles the previous

[white dawn]

What exactly are you trying to do? Might help to have a #1038092680493801533 thread with screenshots

[wicked nacelle]

as does each purity inrease on the node

[sharp basin]

How many tiers for Miners?

[wicked nacelle]

3

[white dawn]

Rail itself has no inherent direction, though you can use signals + rail layout to enforce directionality on sections of rail

[rotund blaze]

having to make a thread for every issue is dumb

[rotund blaze]

nope, cant

[sharp basin]

And by using the slug stuff on a Miner?

[white dawn]

On the contrary: threads mean that your question is far less likely to get buried in unrelated chatter, and being able to embed screenshots there makes debugging much nicer

[sullen gull]

My guess is it's something with your original builds or with the way you copied it. I have done it loads of time to rotate, move, or raise full builds and, short of sometimes having to rebuild a pipe or lift because it made it a "teleport" stye bug, I have had zero issues.

[wicked nacelle]

3 and 3 tiers of nodes -- you can get up to 1200/m from a pure node tier 3 miner

[white dawn]

I mean, if you don't want to start a thread then don't, but with stuff like rail and pipes it generally makes solving problems a million times easier

[feral estuary]

i bought the game months ago and stopped playing. So overwhelming what should i do

[white dawn]

(You can also inline screenshots in practically every other channel on the server, too, though #1038092680493801533 tends to be the best choice for, y'know, questions. :)

[sharp basin]

Got 4 normal nodes here (you know, the lake)

[sullen gull]

The main benifit is that it allows your question to have a dedicated area to diagnose, instead of those trying to help having to weed through "other" conversation

[wicked nacelle]

yep so that's up to 2400 coal/m but that's a ways ahead in your future

and you won't be using coal power by then 🙂

but the coal is great for other stuff once you're there

[dim cradle]

Well you could be using coal power by then

[ivory condor]

This also happened with both copied builds from existing, as well as uploaded builds to scim, also the way they were imported was standard, aka spawn at either original or custom location via importing the blueprints, but always had issues in all cases

[dim cradle]

if you're extremely based.

[ivory condor]

I eventually basically just gave up megaprints, way to many issues I always found with trying to use them, even the ones uploaded to the site

[sharp basin]

So for now, now that I have a perfect layout for 4 coal-powered plants, 100% efficient and self running, if I want to quadruple it, how would you proceed? 2 normal nodes with 2 MK2 Miners?

[wicked nacelle]

yep, makes sense. by the time you need that power you'll have mk2 miners and next tier up of belts to support them

[sullen gull]

That's unfortunate. If you ever do find one you like and want to try, you're welcome to DM if you want some help. Though I know you've been playing for a bit already, anyhow, offer is there.

[dim cradle]

2400 raw quartz a minute secured

[sharp basin]

And with the slug stuff? (sorry don’t know how it works yet)

[ivory condor]

Might be worth retesting, as a example https://satisfactory-calculator.com/en/megaprints/index/details/id/1248/name/Oil+Rig+-+Plastic+Tripling+(600+oil+to+1800+Plastic)

[wicked nacelle]

oh, yeah. sorry. those numbers all assume 250% overclock on your miners. you basically always wnat to overclock your miners

[ivory condor]

that one I thought was cool, imported to existing save, had big performane issues with it unfortunately

[wicked nacelle]

my brain doesn't even comprehend not doing it anymore

[sharp basin]

It uses more electricity?

[ivory condor]

that is a obvious example, maybe i should try retesting and see if i can somehow get better results

[wicked nacelle]

yes but resource ores are limited and it's not a ton more power per resource unit generated

[sharp basin]

@wicked nacelle what is it, basic Power Shard?

[wicked nacelle]

there's only one kind of power shard, so yes

[sharp basin]

With blue slug?

[sullen gull]

So, one of each I presume? Rubber and plastic?

[ivory condor]

that megaprint, would drop the frame drastically when looking at the building, pretty obvious somthing was really wrong going on with it, but couldnt figure out what

[wicked nacelle]

all the slugs make the same power shards -- only how many changes

[sharp basin]

3 power shards per Miner?

[wicked nacelle]

fill 'er up 🙂

[sullen gull]

Ahh. I'm not doing anything at the moment, Going to whip up a creative and mess about.

[ivory condor]

well in my case just placing one of these building was enough to have signficant performance issues when looking at it

[wicked nacelle]

but no reaosn to do it past the amount your belts can handle.. so you have to match up the miner and the belt

[sharp basin]

Hmmm so may be wait for MK3/4 belts for now

[summer quail]

What I do is make the necessary, not go for the optimal setup at the start. Early spaghetti, nothing complex.Make what you can to try and rush for coal ASAP so your stuff doesn't stop. Then I either stop to plan using external tools, explore l, start a new more permanent starter build and go from there. You should also have power pylons by then so stop expand some more, build a train track have fun. You can always start a new game or even go back and destroy old spaghetti as you advance

[wicked nacelle]

mk2 belts handle 120/m right? so that's 8 coal generators, right?

[sharp basin]

I’m using MK2 belts right now! So it doubles in comparison with my MK1 Miner!

[feral estuary]

thats what i mean i dont really understant it and dont know how to get voal

[sharp basin]

Yeah 120!

[wicked nacelle]

your miner is making 60 coal/m? so if you 100% overclock it (set it to 200%) then you can max out your mk2 belt and put another 4 coal generators on it, right?

[sharp basin]

Yep 60 coal/min

Yep I guess that’s right

[wicked nacelle]

yeah so put a couple shards on it and go to town with your coal powa!

[ivory condor]

@sullen gull check dms

[sharp basin]

So for 16 coal-powered generators, I’d need 2 MK2 Miners overclocked at 200% right? With MK2 belts?

[wicked nacelle]

I trust that you can do the math 🙂 and whether that's right or not depends on node purity as well, but that doesn't sound quite right.

[sharp basin]

Shit 😅

[wicked nacelle]

mk1 miner overclocked to 200% on your current 60 node (at 100%) runs 8

[dim cradle]

by the way you might want to leave a smidgen of coal aside for a bomb factory

[sharp basin]

So 2 MK1 Miners at 200% for 16

[wicked nacelle]

at the same node purity as you're at, yes

[sharp basin]

Or 2 MK2 Miners at 100%

Perfect

[wicked nacelle]

hopefully when you find sulfur you''ll find another coal source nearby for making bombs 🙂

[sharp basin]

@wicked nacelle can’t make blueprints yet…. Should I do the other 12 manually?….

[wicked nacelle]

That seems like the only option, no?

[sharp basin]

Yeah but I still have to run back to the Hills to get my slugs 😅

[summer quail]

I'll dm you cause this might get a little much

[feral estuary]

i have made a chat in questions and help

[lethal geyser]

[hard stump]

Ok I’m losing hope for a fix today 😥

[sharp basin]

@wicked nacelle wait, 1 power shard/Miner to go from 100 to 200%? Or 3 shards?

[wicked nacelle]

each shard gets you 50% more than base

[dim cradle]

Clock it as high as your belt will go

[wicked nacelle]

so if you want double, that's 2 shards. -- and yeah that's your belt speed

[dim cradle]

That's all you need to ever do

[sharp basin]

Perfect

[wicked nacelle]

if you put 3 shards, then your miner would just fill up its internal buffer because you can't get them out as fast as you make them

[gaunt sapphire]

can anybody explain why drone instead of moving to the left where its destination is, goes up while wall on the right?
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1402656303045939200/1437523987847581838/image.png?ex=69138e0a&is=69123c8a&hm=f6a9627a45b7891f2fdbb2b6efdcd1a6be8d7ab42d2df158bd018ce58d100852&

[wicked nacelle]

drone pathing is ?????

[hollow schooner]

Did they remove the lantern fruits glowing at night in the northern forest or is it a bug? It just looks so plain without them

[white dawn]

Drones DGAF 😎

[sullen gull]

Drones do thier own pathing thing. Explained here:

!wikisearch Drone

[raven axle]

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

[dim cradle]

too bad it takes 6 drones to do one pure node...

[white dawn]

Drones do kind of encourage modularish outposts

Building a complex thing? Make some of the intermediate parts near the relevant nodes and then ship those over by drone instead of the ores, etc

[dim cradle]

Why don't portals have an off switch?

[white dawn]

Otherwise, for sure, if you want to cart around large throughputs of material, trains tend to be your best bet

[dim cradle]

I don't really see the point of burning cells while I'm not actively needing to use it 🤔

[white dawn]

Could use Priority Power Switches for 'em

[dim cradle]

And they can just re-establish connection when rebuilt or reconnected

[white dawn]

(Priority just so's you can toggle 'em remotely wherever you are; obvs for local toggling you could get by with just regular switches)

[dim cradle]

never researched power switches lmao

[white dawn]

tsk tsk

Gotta keep up with that MAM!

[dim cradle]

Just never felt like turning anything off before ...

#screenshots message It'll be fine while I sleep, just very close y'know >_>

[sharp basin]

What’s best to do like RIGHT NOW with MAM? I’ve been neglecting it

[dim cradle]

Your first priority is Mercer spheres

Dimensional Depot, get it asap

Alien Tech research tree

maybe also bombs in the sulfur tree, nice to have

Parachute in the mushroom tree, nice to have

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Fabric

[white dawn]

Anything you can afford, honestly. Everything except for hard drive scanning just takes a couple of seconds, so you don't need to parcel things out

There's a lot of incredibly helpful stuff in there, just get everything you can. :)

[honest raptor]

umm guys i played satisfactory for 10 hours and 35 minutes, should i take a break or satisfactory is life

[white dawn]

Break for sure! Burnout is real, and FICSIT needs you in top form to Save The Day!

[honest raptor]

satisfactory is life

i cant

[white dawn]

Or that.

(But seriously, breaks are good and healthy. Even if you're just taking a walk for 10 minutes every couple hours, make sure you're taking care of your body. :)

[dim cradle]

Can also walk while playing satisfactory

[leaden turret]

have a break.
have a FICS-KAT

[wicked nacelle]

Because devs thought they were OP but in fact they’re near useless. This game is a weird combination of stuff that’s insanely powerful and stuff that is neutered to the point of uselessness

[white dawn]

Satisfactory AR when?

"room scale" AR area == 35 km² field

[abstract heron]

Candy bar or Kit Kat

[leaden turret]

when Satisfactory Arrrr is complete

-# pirate translation joke

[wicked nacelle]

Don’t forget you can plop down a mam whenever you want and interact with it then pack it back up.

[white dawn]

I'd hardly call Portals "neutered to the point of uselessness," except possibly in the sense that they're so late game that you might not have much more map-travelling to do

[wicked nacelle]

Great for when you’re out hdd hunting. Every ten minutes plop one down and research another one

[sullen gull]

Same with the hub a space elevator (though the latter a bit more difficult due to qty of items required)

[white dawn]

Fuelling them is rather beautifully done, IMO: by the time you unlock 'em you're probably through or nearly through with your Pasta elevator deliveries, which means you're probably just one more step away from a lot of fuelled Portals

[wicked nacelle]

Hypertube cannons get you anywhere on the map from anywhere on the map. With essentially no cost and no setup.

[white dawn]

(Obviously if you want to spend that Pasta on coupons then you've got a choice to make, but still: your Portal-fuelling needs are like right there)

[white dawn]

That's fine for people who like hypertube cannons and don't mind exploiting glitches (and going against the "intended" experience of the game)

[sullen gull]

Well, some setup, wether it be downloading a blueprint or creating one's own 🙂

[wicked nacelle]

But portals only take you certain places. Cannons take you anywhere

[white dawn]

Which, yes, is a choice for sure.

As I say, I'm not anti cannon but I rarely use 'em myself

[wicked nacelle]

Cannons used to not work and were intentionally put back in

[white dawn]

I've had one or two in a couple of playthroughs over the years, but I'm generally just not interested

[dim cradle]

You can kind of just more easily plop down another MAM tho

[white dawn]

I'm well aware, but it's still not the "intended" experience, and to me they're too game-breaky

But I certainly don't mind getting a Portal network up with all that spare Pasta I've got lying around. :)

[dim cradle]

For coupons, even though I'm only making 2/min these BWDs are insane

[abstract heron]

Done with iron into good placement but now copper and limestone and I still have to build the limestone refinery’s and then test them and belt it back

Progress is making

[dim cradle]

5.x million points/min, was enough to earn the golden nut statue from just that

[wicked nacelle]

If portals were any portal to any portal then slightly more useful. The fact that you have to pair them makes them extra miserable. Just as bad as traditional hypertubes

[dim cradle]

I like them for going back to my base while out traveling.

That's about it.

[white dawn]

Eh, I mean, on my 1.0 playthrough I had enough fuel to keep literally 20 portals up and running

Hopping to a central hub to go somewhere else didn't feel onerous

[abstract heron]

All with dune desert dune cayons and dune desert ore aswell

[white dawn]

I mean, as always, I'm not trying to convince anyone to use Portals over Hypertube Cannons, if they don't want to.

But Portals are far from "useless"

[wicked nacelle]

A teleporter item that would let you just click anywhere on the map for 50 singularity cells would be useful.

[white dawn]

And their required fuel is, in general, sitting right in front of you by the time you have 'em unlocked

[wicked nacelle]

That would be a suitable late game thing

Portals would be neat half way through the game

[dim cradle]

I have this kind of insane commercial treadmill with standing desk setup and huge arm mounted monitor setup lol. Haven't used it in a little while due to RTO draining my energy though.

But I used to walk like 14 miles while playing games at the same time.

[sullen gull]

There is a VR mod for the game...

[white dawn]

Nice!

[sharp basin]

Just got the BLADE RUNNERS

How to slide on PS5?

[white dawn]

Those things do look neat, have been thinking it'd be fun to try one

[dim cradle]

14 miles at an incline, too, so my legs got swole af

[lavish bluff]

Hold O

[wicked nacelle]

They make the game so much better. Even just the ability to jump on splitters while building is so huge

[white dawn]

Though from what I've heard there's a nontrivial amount of learning curve to get used to 'em, and I'm definitely not buying one, so I feel like merely trying it out somewhere wouldn't be especially useful

[sharp basin]

HUGE

[wicked nacelle]

Yooj

[dim cradle]

Trying out what, a treadmill?

[white dawn]

Well, one of those fancy 360° VR treadmill things, at least

I have used plenty of boring ol' regular treadmills in the past. :D

Although now that I re-read what was said, I think I probably misinterpreted what you said. :D

[wicked nacelle]

If you haven’t gotten nobelisks yet out of the sulfur tree you should get that next

[dim cradle]

Again would get dimensional depot asap if you don't have it.

[white dawn]

I've really gotta start making use of my own standing desk configuration again; I've been lazy for too long. And I've also really gotta stop being offtopic. Shutting up now. :P

[dim cradle]

Dimensional depot will literally change your life.

[granite pike]

Do we know if we will have Multiplayer fixed on Consoles because Game Crashes whenever you enable Multiplayer or connect to Epic Games to do Multiplayer?

[sharp basin]

Missing Steel Pipes, don’t have a factory for that yet

[turbid salmon]

Looking for a new challenge. Thoughts on a no ALT run? Fun or just grindy?

[white dawn]

Per #announcements message , a fix will hopefully be landing this week

[granite pike]

What Exactly Is The Dimensional Depot? I was confused by what it is exactly..lol

[wicked nacelle]

Geterdun

[sharp basin]

How do I get Mycelia?

[sharp basin]

Sorry?

[wicked nacelle]

It’s an inventory expansion that holds a number of stacks of every item type

[dim cradle]

redneck for get it done

[wicked nacelle]

Get her done

[white dawn]

I dunno if it'd be noticeably more grindy; that mostly depends on what scale you want to build at. Would make the game less interesting for myself, though, though doesn't sound like a fun challenge run to me. :)

[granite pike]

I'm hoping so because a friend started playing it.. we were gonna play it together & we couldn't keep the game stable enough to do anything..

[wicked nacelle]

Chainsaw mushrooms and dead wood and coral

[dim cradle]

explicitly it means get her done, but rarely does getting any woman done make sense in the context

[wicked nacelle]

Lots of things are referred to as feminine that aren’t women though.

[dim cradle]

Well okay to be fair, ADA does go on about how a lot of humans think about pipes a lot

[sullen gull]

Pro tip for "newbies", you can find a lot of items in the lizard doggo cave on the West beach. Blade runners, Xeno Basher, and others.

[white dawn]

Dimensional Depot gives you access to "cloud storage" for resources, which can be used for your build gun. (Cannot be used as part of factory logistics.) Each Depot you build lets you upload a single resource type into the cloud. By default, the Depots upload at 15/min, and the cloud storage is limited to a single stack of each resource. Through the MAM, you can upgrade that to 240/min and 5 stacks

[dim cradle]

And I'm pretty sure that was thinly veiled innuendo

[granite pike]

I had been wondering where to Find Mycelia because I need to stock up on it but where do you get the Beut Ore or however its spelt

[wicked nacelle]

Also talks about “these nuts”

[white dawn]

You can also store any other item in the depot, not just building resources, so you can keep ammo, healing items, etc, in there. Though to use those you have to manually pull them out of the cloud storage (as opposed to your Build Gun, which can just use the Depot resources directly)

[wicked nacelle]

Well eventually you get an alt for fabric so you only really need a small finite amount of myc

[white dawn]

You can get faster resource replenishment by having more than one Depot for a single resource. Most folks who use them will end up with multiple Concrete uploaders, for instance, since you can go through that so quickly

[dim cradle]

If you want a lot of it easily, the swamp has a metric crapton.

[granite pike]

Okay, thanks for that..

[dim cradle]

Just be careful the enemies there suck

[wicked nacelle]

But also a metric crap ton of spiders

[dim cradle]

remember to bring a panic box blueprint

hide in box, cry

[wicked nacelle]

North west corner has a lot of coral I think and 1% the spiders

Coral is myc

And also the short dead wood stumps have some myc

Or at least that’s what they look like to me

[turbid salmon]

So many of the base recipes don't get used at all, because better ones are out there. Being forced to use only base recipes would actually make me do stuff I don't normally, like Aluminum setup, etc. Also someone suggest a no dismantle too.

[wicked nacelle]

Vanilla aluminum recipes are highly usable

[granite pike]

I have 4 Full Storages of Concrete..lol they are maxed out..😆 I done that in the beginning... its a slow process trying to get everything built.. I been struggling with The Rotors, Motors & the Higher Advanced Resources

[dim cradle]

No dismantle at all would be a little silly if you just make a blooper

For aluminum I do prefer to use a set of alt recipes, though

I really like them

[wicked nacelle]

That’s why it’s a challenge 🙂

[sharp basin]

All my factories in the Hills are DOWN because my Biomass burners are out of power, right now, I got NOTHING running

[wicked nacelle]

Did you not hook it up to your coal?

[white dawn]

Yeah, there's plenty of vanilla recipes which are well worth using. Depending on your individual factory needs, you may even opt to choose a vanilla recipe over an alt. There's generally no "better" or "worse" with recipes in isolation, though there can be "better" or "worse" for a specific situation and goals

[granite pike]

I'm working on T6 well parts of it but I still have 2 things to do in T4 & Got T5 unlocked but I think only One done in T5

[dim cradle]

I like this recipe:
Sloppy Alumina + Aluminum Scrap + Pure Aluminum Ingot

IMO makes the footprint a lot easier

[granite pike]

I cant explore further since I don't have Radiation Suit yet

[white dawn]

My first aluminum factory is nearly always vanilla-recipe, since I want to get sheets+alclad accumulating while I go out hard drive hunting again

[sharp basin]

Quite far

[dim cradle]

Also doesn't require any silica at all so you can just use it elsewhere

[wicked nacelle]

Power poles are cheap and have a plenty long range. You have to run back there anyhow may as well do it now 🙂

[sharp basin]

@wicked nacelle Don’t have power towers yet

[wicked nacelle]

Same with vanilla - doesn’t require any external silica and will run with no alts

[wicked nacelle]

Just the normal ones have a good range

[median geyser]

Are the maps random, or just a random spawn location on a fixed map?

[sharp basin]

Yeah but same, need steel

[wicked nacelle]

There’s only one map and it’s static. Spawn locations are just different spots on the same map

[turbid salmon]

No dismantle, no alts... any other spiciness to add to the run?

[white dawn]

There is just one fixed map, with four spawn points

[sharp basin]

Oh you mean normal power poles?

[wicked nacelle]

Yeah no reason to not connect everything

[dim cradle]

Sure, no fuel generators just for fun

[sharp basin]

May be I should finish my 16 coal powered machines so I get to 1200 MW

[wicked nacelle]

Oooh coal to nuclear

[sharp basin]

Then I’ll do whatever

[dim cradle]

I mean I didn't do fuel or nuclear lol but hey

[granite pike]

If you haven't unlocked it yet.. your Best bet is To Do Coal Power Generators.. you can Safely do Miner 1 tied into 4 Coal Generators & 2 Water Extractors to keep it up & running.. I have 8 Coal Generators which is powering my Place.. I have everything tied together.. every building, Machines Generators tied into 1 Grid so I just build more generators tie it to the existing Grid..

[wicked nacelle]

I’d suggest getting your factory back online so you can stockpile parts but you do you 🙂

[dim cradle]

This is a little easier but only a little

[turbid salmon]

Yeah, bit of a leap...

[median geyser]

Oh interesting, so its much bigger than expected. Ty.

Ive been questioning how unlucky I got since I went looking for water and had to travel almost 1km 😂

[dim cradle]

I did sloop and geothermal so it's quite doable

[sharp basin]

Doing it right now! Already 4 running!

[dim cradle]

No alts will strain plastic and fuel lines a bit though.

[sharp basin]

Going for 16 total

[sharp basin]

OK, first finishing my coal powered plants

[granite pike]

Good, Miner Level 1 on a pure Coal node is powering 4 Coal Generators.. at the moment but I haven't calculated what I'd need for the Normal Coal Nodes

[sharp basin]

@granite pike why 🤔?

[granite pike]

I been Lucky enough to find Pure Nodes because they offer the Best
