Varied diet trophy wont pop

[crimson lantern]

Ohhh, love the swedes, got a few cool spiders

[obsidian zodiac]

this has been documented 👍

[somber monolith]

What’s that trophy for

[crimson lantern]

Any chance it'll release for switch 2? Not sure if the console could handle it but figured id ask.

[rustic kayak]

Gather all three types of edible flora

[sharp basin]

Power towers reach is not that great

[obsidian zodiac]

only platforms we'll be supporting atm are PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. Special shout to the steam deck which has almost full functionality

[somber monolith]

What phase do I get blenders

[crimson lantern]

Understood, I'm happy for as long as you guys decide to support PS5

[lucid pagoda]

four i think,

[somber monolith]

Also what’s the correct wiki I can only find a out dated one

[zenith pecan]

wiki.gg

[lucid pagoda]

the correct wiki is wiki.gg

[raven axle]

Official Satisfactory Wiki

This is the totally awesome community driven wiki for Satisfactory!! Come on in and check it out!
<3 @hard ivy

[sharp basin]

Oh sorry! I was using them wrong!

[zenith pecan]

If the link says fandom on it, run a mile.

[sharp basin]

Between two the reach is great, but reach with poles are the same as before right?

[somber monolith]

What’s the total number of smart plating I need for the whole game could I stock pile and not worry about making more

[lucid pagoda]

i think smart plating is used for future parts so you could make a factory that you Just expand upon as needed

[zenith pecan]

If you have a running smart plate plant, just leave it spewing plates into cans and sink what you don't need at the end.

[lucid pagoda]

dont quote me tho

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/index.php?search=space+elevator

[white dawn]

^ I believe that wiki page has the exact counts

[somber monolith]

Only 4.3k? Thats really low

I was expecting low hundred thousands

[white dawn]

I will say that SE parts make for quite good coupon fodder, though. I always just like fully automating 'em anyway. Though plenty of folk do just produce a specific amount and then not sweat it later

[zenith pecan]

I'll rebuild all mine when I can be bothered just for completeness and that it's just another project 😄

[somber monolith]

I’ve started making just enough using a temp factory and it’s saved me 10s of hours

[runic sage]

does the dimensional dipot have infinite capacity?

[somber monolith]

No

[dapper glen]

No but u can upgrade the storage capacity

[runic sage]

then how exactly do they work?

[somber monolith]

You can upgrade it to I think 5 stacks max

[cunning meteor]

does anyone know if there is a mod for craftable somersloops

[somber monolith]

But it costs like 40 mercer spheres

[runic sage]

i mean the dimension depot inventory, not the "Storage box" itself

[dapper glen]

It uploads items into an online hub, saved in ur build gun, it allows u to build without having to use items in ur inventory, saving a lot of space

[somber monolith]

That is the inventory

[runic sage]

is the "online hub" infinite tho? thats my question

[somber monolith]

It’s a central storage you could delete it and move it as much as you like it’s diffrent to a regular storage

[dapper glen]

Infinite for how many items it can hold or how many types of items?

[somber monolith]

No it’s all one storage that maxs at a couple stacks

[leaden turret]

<@&370483737957236737> you streaming today?

[somber monolith]

It’s all one connected storage

[cunning meteor]

i think what hes getting at is the types of items

[dapper glen]

Thats infinite

It can hold infinite types of items

[lucid pagoda]

yall ever make a factory so big that moving a resource around it might aswell be a biome long belt system

[runic sage]

alright thanks that was my question

[dapper glen]

But each item has a limit on how much can be put in it

[somber monolith]

Is it 5 stacks max?

[runic sage]

so infinite stack types but only 1 stack per type?

[somber monolith]

You can upgrade it to be more stacks

[dapper glen]

Yes but it can be upgraded to hold more stacks

[sharp basin]

How do you make a blueprint on PS5? I made a tower power with foundations that I wanna place everywhere

[dapper glen]

Ive seen someone have like 2000 iron plates in the depot

[runic sage]

alright thanks

[sharp basin]

(I already unlocked them)

[leaden turret]

that answers that question 😅

[somber monolith]

So then 10 stacks?

[somber monolith]

It’s 3rd tab to right in build menu

[charred magnet]

I've got a weird question for yall, what do you think is the biggest flaw/short coming of satisfactory?

[dapper glen]

Yeah i think thats max u can get

[crimson lantern]

Hey, dumb dumbs

[dapper glen]

Wsg dumber dumber

[ornate saffron]

Combat probably, Its one extreme or the other. You are getting wrecked or just cheesing the wildlife

[zenith pecan]

They took weather away and never gave it back 😛

[somber monolith]

No it’s 5 stacks and 240 fill speed I just checked wiki

[dapper glen]

Which one...

[ornate saffron]

Maybe one day

[zenith pecan]

I just use a blueprinted combat shack to handle the fauna that would wreck me in a fair fight 🙂 (edit) and lots of things that explode!

[somber monolith]

The one that I got linked to when i asked

[dapper glen]

Aight

[somber monolith]

Wiki.gg

[ornate saffron]

absolutley. And once you can hover and have a gun you cant be touched

[charred magnet]

ye that is fair... factory games have a weird thing with combat lmao

[somber monolith]

46 to max on trait is insane

[dapper glen]

All fun and games until ur too far away from a power line and dont make it back

[zenith pecan]

Due to last years ficsmas, I have 1250000ish snowballs, I'm not running out of explosions anytime soon.

[sharp basin]

Yeah to make one from one of your own build?

[somber monolith]

To place your blueprints that you made

[sharp basin]

Not to place one

[dapper glen]

Like make ur owm blueprint?

[sharp basin]

To make one

[somber monolith]

Wdym then?

[sharp basin]

Yeah

[somber monolith]

Oh there’s a blueprint box you have to place

[ornate saffron]

I never play the same save more then 3 months. Satisfactory is a hyper Focus ADHD game for me i play 3 months of the year and then stop

[somber monolith]

It’s in the special tab

[dapper glen]

U use the blueprint designer

[zenith pecan]

Oh wow, I'll be toggling the on switch to the ficsmas factory in a couple of weeks, where has 2025 even gone.

[somber monolith]

You place it then build what u want in it then save it and place it

[charred magnet]

idk if yall agree or not (probably not lol) but for me personally, and it might be a personal skill issuse here, I've always felt like the game kinda needed more options and tools for macro planning, like especially in earlier playthroughs and having a level foresight as to what is going to come and how to plan for it

[zenith pecan]

I play very long saves with stupid sized builds, but I do tend to take some serious breaks which result in multi-thousand hour saves and me taking an age to complete stuff.

[ornate saffron]

even though Ive been playing on and off since Update 7, This will be my first event

[zenith pecan]

I started right on steam release back in update 3 😄

[somber monolith]

Is there any reason to make more than 60 steel pipes PM to put in a depot I can’t find anything that you would mass build

[scenic mirage]

i started a save in u8 but then never passed phase 3 i think

[sharp basin]

Oh you place it BEFORE building your blueprint?

[spice patio]

<@&370483737957236737> Stream thread is still missing.

[ornate saffron]

pretty sure its been in my library since long before update 7. that just when i started playing. I dont even know where i got the game. my steam transaction record says i got it from a code

[somber monolith]

You build in it to make the template save it then you have it in your blueprint menu to place like any other building

[scenic mirage]

#screenshots message
@sharp basin

[somber monolith]

Can I make more than 2700 MW from 2 270 coal nodes Im almost using it all and im still a bit away from oil power

[zenith pecan]

The save I started back in update 3 was finally retired when the game left early access, it has a long history of crashing peoples computers and running really stupid experiments like this one: #design-and-architecture message or building follies like #satisfactory-experimental message

[hard ivy]

2*270/15*75=2700
so no, not without better miners, better belts, more nodes, or compacted coal

[somber monolith]

Is there a way to get more out of it without sulfur?

[zenith pecan]

Ofc I can't forget the old throughput tests like shown here #design-and-architecture message 😂

[somber monolith]

Ok ig it’s time to speed run mk4 belts

[ornate saffron]

mmm Concrete covered steel conveyors

[sharp basin]

Ok got it

But you can’t align your blueprint on the world grid??

[ornate saffron]

I dont put a Base foundation layer in my blueprints. This way you can put your foundations down first and align them with the world grid and then place the blueprint on top

[sharp basin]

got it

Just put a foundation near before?

[flat sorrel]

After releasing the 1.0 idk what is the satisfactory team doing. Literally they release things we don’t care about. Like who wants to see the sounds of the game, just use ur money to build more cool things on the game

[scenic mirage]

theres a button you can use to lock to the grid, it should say "Snap mode" and on computer the default button is holding left control

[sharp basin]

Does not work with just a foundation

[ornate saffron]

build you floor then put your bluprint on top. Dont build the ground floor as part of the blueprint.

if you already built a floor as part of the BP you acn put down a foundation align with the world grid and then hologram nudge your bp into position

[leaden turret]

you want some vinegar with that salt?

[true mulch]

We're happy to shout that we have a patch on its way right now
<@&370483737957236737> does the console release just not receive patch notes? there weren't any proper patch notes for the release either

[ornate saffron]

they are making the game more accesable for the wider masses

[scenic mirage]

yeah bruh who tf wants vertical splitters and mergers? who wants crash site dismantling? who wants conveyor wall holes? priority mergers? what a joke 🤣

[true mulch]

the game is "feature-complete" by reaching 1.0, what are you expecting?

[sharp basin]

So no floors on blueprints

[ornate saffron]

no ground level floors is the way i do it.

for example if im tring to fit 10 smelters in a BP ill make a second floor to put them on. but not base/ground floor

[scenic mirage]

#screenshots message

just like this

[hard ivy]

I want all of these (ok, except wall holes, I don't use walls)

I want vertical splitters with the output out the side (and inputs at the top and bottom)
and I want the dismantled crash site to disappear from LOD as well

[ornate saffron]

Im at work so i couldn't make a Screenshot ty

[sharp basin]

So I wanted a blueprint for a basic power tower already built on foundations, I can’t do that, I mean I can, but it won’t align to world grid?

[unkempt blade]

you could build a foundation that does align to the world grid then attach the BP to it

[ivory condor]

CSS give, CSS take away

[scenic mirage]

same 1.1 was amazing and im so hyped for 1.2

[ivory condor]

if 1.2 doesn't include rain, sorry its already doa

[unkempt blade]

as always, I expect a mk2 factory cart

[ornate saffron]

youll have to put down a foundation the you know is aligned with the grid then place your hologram close. Then hit H this holds the hologram in place. then follow the instructions on screen to move it into place so it lines up next to or inside the foundation you know is Aligned

[void mason]

My TRAKTOR just disappeared in nothing....it had all the stocks for construction on board 🥹

[obsidian zodiac]

Things are moving pretty quick atm, and the patches are fairly small. Official patch notes will likely pop up soon once launch chaos is complete 🙂

[scenic mirage]

see if you can see it on the compass or map, or reload save

[void mason]

It's marked on the map but it doesn't appear anymore

[unkempt blade]

you're amazing and talented and I believe in you [to sneak a mk2 factory cart into 1.2]

[scenic mirage]

yall did great things by staggering the save files, i quit subnautica pretty much bc there was a glitch and i lost everything and i couldnt reload an earlier save

[ornate saffron]

rough... I had a Drone Disappear and A train become invisable

[ivory condor]

the mk2 factory cart will infact include square wheels, im certain of it

[hard ivy]

tbf Subnautica playthroughs don't last nearly as long as SF playthroughs do, so it's not nearly as much of a loss

[unkempt blade]

As pioneered by the brilliant and innovative cyberwagon. I'd expect nothing less from ficsit

[scenic mirage]

i mean yeah but i was so annoyed by it i didnt care to continue, it was such a stupid bug too

and it was still like a 25+ hour save or smth

[ornate saffron]

Glad i didnt play the game until long after full release

[void mason]

I had to recharge 30 minutes of saving

[unkempt blade]

it really depends how long I get lost driving around in the caves

[true mulch]

thank you, as of right now we have no way of covering the patches on the wiki, we can only deduce what the CL number was and the release date
we would appreciate if the patch notes could be released even retrospectively later on for the sake of documentation

[void mason]

I think is a bug of rendering

[sharp basin]

Jetpack when?

[tropic heath]

i am going to the spider cave with uranum deposit
wish me luck

[ornate saffron]

likely, At this stage it isnt make or break. Im just setting up satellite factories for the Monstrosity ill build later

[primal obsidian]

what is a balancer

[tropic heath]

it balances

[void mason]

A question since I'm new, before giving the transition from level 4 to 5 I take it easy and start creating different factories?

[true mulch]

you can create independent factories at any stage in the game really

a splitter/merger contraption that connects every input to every output with equal priority and full belt capacity

[fervent garden]

Okay so I am slowly getting there, Learning through it. I am now automating: Iron pipes, Iron plates, Screws and concrete. I need to automate copper ingots but I don't have the power capabilites yet unless solid biomass is a good way to go.

[sacred trail]

Man, I love this game, but I'm so messy. Like, a lot.

My factory looks like a maze of stuff all connected in the worst way possible.

I think I'm gonna stop and rebuild everything from scratch.

[sacred trail]

How many coal power plants do you have?

[fervent garden]

Man I am NOWHERE near that.

I just started the game a few days ago

[sacred trail]

Coal is in the benning I think.

[wide nacelle]

Coal is tier 3

[fervent garden]

I am tier one 😄

[sacred trail]

Oh

[shy mulch]

Remember you don't need to destroy what you have, you can just leave it running. There are plenty of resource nodes, you can go build your stuff somewhere else, then only break down your old factories if you need the space

[fervent garden]

I haven't even built the space elevator cause 1,500 wires is deadly to me right now

[hard ivy]

thankfully you don't need it until you complete most of tier 1 and 2

[wide nacelle]

if you havent already & are planning to start some new construction area, i recommend beginning with foundations 🙂

[shy mulch]

Focus on getting your power sorted out, then you will easily be able to automate wires, and they'll build up while you go chop some trees

[ornate saffron]

Solid biomass is good. Just make sure you balance the inputs of your Biomass generators. "

Spoiler hint || youll need solid biomass for you chainsaw too||

[fervent garden]

I don't think I am going to use a chainsaw for a whike

[shy mulch]

why

[fervent garden]

I need my solid biomass for my iron and concrete. Maybe even copper

[wide nacelle]

solid biomass lasts longer than you might expect. just go out on a chainsaw spree, handcraft everything into Biomass and throw it in a Storage container, then feed that into a Solid Biomass Assembler or two and feed those into your Biomass burners. They will last a long time in my experience

[fervent garden]

4 a minute is a little longer than regular biomass

[sacred trail]

Yeah, it takes a lot to burn it all.

[shy mulch]

Chainsaw uses very little

[sacred trail]

And chaisaw is fun.

[shy mulch]

And makes your collection more efficient

[silk ocean]

I can recommend trains xD

[ornate saffron]

Chainsaw allows you to cut down Vegatation in a large area which give you more stuff to turn into biomass. Less effort more output

[fervent garden]

4 a minute and the max is 200 gives me about fifty minutes of run time for my bio mass burners

[raw quiver]

Is molded steel pipes worth it?

[shy mulch]

Use a storage container

[silk ocean]

No xD

[fervent garden]

WHY DOES THE CHAINSAW NEED A HUNDRED AND SIXTY FUCKING SCREWS

[sacred trail]

Everything needs a shit ton of screws

[white dawn]

Sure, if you've got some spare limestone and want to save on steel

[ornate saffron]

Ficsit is great of making sure you get Screwed

[fervent garden]

IS IT THE SIZE OF A WOOLY MAMMOTH

[white dawn]

Pretty much all recipes are at least situationally useful

[wide nacelle]

thats like, 10 handcrafts of base screw recipe? 😄 its not a lot

[white dawn]

Maybe you only end up using a recipe in one factory, and use other recipes in other factories, but that one time might've been just what you wanted

[silk ocean]

What tier are you xD

[fervent garden]

Me?

[silk ocean]

Yah

[fervent garden]

What's the difference between chainsaw mode single and chainsaw mode area

[wide nacelle]

if they are just crafting their 1st chainsaw I am guessing tier 2 😄 (or is it unlocked in tier 1? i forget)

[sacred trail]

Use are mode always.

Area*

[void mason]

In fact I was thinking of doing something similar, in the area where I spawned I was going to leave factories that produced x10 rotor x10 Reinforced iron plate x10 modular frames then coils, cement wires and basic products, while where I am now I am trying to make a steel mill made and finished that produces stator engines 3 other surplus by-products as well as IA limiter and Quickwire etc...

[fervent garden]

Both one and two, I saw solid biofuel and I needed it

[wide nacelle]

omg i never knew about area mode

[sacred trail]

Single mode will just destroy that tree, area mode will sweep a lot of stuff arounf

[void mason]

To then create a last factory dedicated to the space elevator modules

[sacred trail]

How do I know wich tier am I?

[wide nacelle]

er, wait, maybe i did. i was thinkiing you meant something like the deconstruct tool

[silk ocean]

Things will get better when you get coal xD

[wide nacelle]

at the beginning, the missions to bring things to the Hub progress you to tier 1

[fervent garden]

Hehehehehehehehehh tree go boom

[sacred trail]

I know, but I'm far from that. I just don't know how do check wich tier I am.

[wide nacelle]

you are tier 0 still then

[sacred trail]

Nope, I already unlocked nuclear plants

[wide nacelle]

oh

[sacred trail]

I have near 200h hours

[fervent garden]

HOLY JESUS

[wide nacelle]

in the Space Elevator the current mission says what tier it is for

Nuclear Power is tier 8

https://satisfactory-calculator.com/en/milestones

[sacred trail]

I'm finishing misson 4, just need the nuclear cube

[lucid pagoda]

[shy mulch]

protecting terrorism

especially child terrorists 😛

[fleet crest]

hey I'm the guy who said "it's the guy who needs to shave", you should shave btw

[leaden turret]

cheaper to block than to risk failing compliance with the government's nonsense

[somber monolith]

Is there a reason to go over 60 steel pipes at any point in the game I don’t see any buildables that need a lot

[fleet crest]

unless you wanna flex or just do it for the funsies no, you don't have to, 60 per min with dimensional depot is plenty

[lucid pagoda]

trains could use a lot for rails

but generally no

[obsidian zodiac]

for every comment i receive to shave i receive 2 to grow

[somber monolith]

What do rails cost?

[obsidian zodiac]

i am left in a constant state of friction

[silk ocean]

It has broken my life, all the embedded content on forums and discord, and I don;t want to use a VPN 😢

[leaden turret]

go for the van dyke beard?

[lucid pagoda]

its pipes and beams, if you build an extensive network you could be using tons of pipes and beams

[leaden turret]

@obsidian zodiac I mean you've got someone nicknamed batman, go for the green arrow?

[somber monolith]

Is it similar to conveyors? As does it cost a lot to build far or is it relatively cheap

[lucid pagoda]

similar to conveyors

adds as you add length to the track

[somber monolith]

Do you know the max it costs?

[violet needle]

power shart

[lucid pagoda]

8 beam and 8 pipe but its not too long

if you do something like i have in my world, a loop around the map with forward and reverse loops, you could use tons of resources

[leaden turret]

what happens when you eat slugs

[somber monolith]

Do you have an estimate on how much you used? I think even at 60 I’ll be fine cause I can just stock pile 2-3 crates and put them into a depot

[leaden turret]

@obsidian zodiac re: tony hawk's style maps: https://communityhighlights.satisfactory.video/meta-search/?q=skatepark

Would it be worth it to set up a tractor to get more resources from further away in phase 2?

[lucid pagoda]

Can’t get an exact number but I’m wrong, I remember it costing more but you should be fine, i probably used a few thousand

[somber monolith]

Not to bad then

[ornate saffron]

Woªh

Ima try to use swipe to text to answer the next question im asked

Okay

[fervent garden]

Okay so I KIND OF automated solid biofuel. Lemme explain what I did.

Biofuel leaves: Storage container, constructor, through merger, then to another constructor to make solid biofuel

Biofuel wood: Storage container, constructor, through same merger, going into the solid bio fuel constructor

Solid biofuel go into storage container.

[white dawn]

Yep, that's the general way (and during Phase 1, presumably straight into some bio burners as well)

[glass pagoda]

So I ĥ haven't IRashad far Pfizer buck gossip

[fervent garden]

I put in the solid biofuel into my bio burners myself

[glass pagoda]

Wow swipe to text is hard

[fervent garden]

I am going to now automate THE GOD DAMN COPPER INGOTS CAUSE APPARENTLY I NEED A FUCK TON OF THOSE FOR SOME UNGODLY FUCKING REASON

[white dawn]

I'm curious why? We've got belt-fed burners now; they're lovely! I'm not personally eager to go back to pre-belt burners. :)

[fervent garden]

Because I like to have bio fuel on hand just incase I need it

[silk ocean]

[fervent garden]

I don't know 3/4ths of the words you said

[ornate saffron]

youll always need copper wire, Cable and sheets. all factories are built on the backs of phase 1 and 2

[white dawn]

Sure, you could also be accumulating it in storage, but why deny yourself the luxury of not having to hand-feed those suckers?

[glass pagoda]

Ye ye ye ye ur ur yes

[white dawn]

Belt-fed bio burners make Phase 1 a lot more palatable, IMO

[fervent garden]

Would I ever need copper ingots except for wires

[bitter lodge]

yes.

[fervent garden]

Copper wires I mean

[bitter lodge]

Just know you will need everything from previous tiers.

[fervent garden]

So stockpile every single fucking thing

YAY PAIN

[placid stirrup]

Ixnay on the stockpiling

[bitter lodge]

its not pain

[late void]

Stockpiling is only helpful as a buffer you’ll still run out if you’re not producing more than you’re using

[bitter lodge]

but also consider this. You can have an entire copper factory

[silk ocean]

Bro, you have a whole world starting xD

[bitter lodge]

Just nothing but copper products :D

[glass pagoda]

You would need coper ingots to make copper sheets so you can make pipes that lead to a coal generator

Stuff like that

[bitter lodge]

lowkey, once you comfortable adventure the world. Strongly recommend dimensional depots. Super nice to have for building

[fervent garden]

I'll deal with that when it comes to it right now I need 1500 copper wires BECAUSE THE SPACE ELEVATOR IS THE SIZE OF A GIANTS DICK

[ornate saffron]

but there is lots of copper and Iron nodes, they are the most common i wouldnt worry about stock piling ingots. BTW there is many ways to play satisfactory. I suggest you consider advice but come to your own conclusions and learn by trail and error. Suffering is part of learning

[glass pagoda]

Wait until you get to phase 2 of space elevator

[fervent garden]

Don't torture me too early

[glass pagoda]

Don't worry I'll let the pain seep in to you

[bitter lodge]

Just keep in mind. This game isn't something you finish in like...a day or two.

its a slow pace game, and takes lots of time. But its so fun

[fervent garden]

I'm having fun.. I'm having fun.. I do not want to slam my fist into the wall when I run out of copper wires again..

[glass pagoda]

Go exploring take a break bro

[wide nacelle]

1500 copper wires really is not a lot even early game 😄 like 1 copper nodes worth of Ore with a tier 1 miner makes that in like 30 min

[bitter lodge]

ya, exploring is a big part of the game.

[fervent garden]

Fuck exploring. I need to automate copper wires. I NEED COPPER WIRES

[bitter lodge]

Finding new resource nodes, harddrives, sloops, mercer spheres.

[placid stirrup]

If you're running out frequently, expand production or simply wait for reserves to fill back up. There IS an unlock to help with supply issues

automate them, let them fill into storage bins.

[fervent garden]

I need to automate fucking reinforced iron plates

[glass pagoda]

This game is so amazing the whole map was crafted perfectly by a team of amazing people

[placid stirrup]

Automate everything for now

[ornate saffron]

put down a storage unit and go do something else, Explore, Murder, or just leave the game running and do something around the house. Breaks are important.

Stay hydrated folks and stretch

[glass pagoda]

Yeah that parts easy

[bitter lodge]

Patience.

you gotta learn to be patient. Early game hand crafting is just a step we all take.

[wide nacelle]

you need to automate everything 😎

[glass pagoda]

Is there anyway to tame a lizard dogo

[bitter lodge]

YES!

[fervent garden]

Nuke

[glass pagoda]

Jow

[bitter lodge]

The berries :> You place one down on the ground, and wait for the doggo to come eat it :>

[fervent garden]

THE BERRIES HAVE A PURPOSE?

[bitter lodge]

then you got a little pet! They can even randomly find things, so check their inventories.

[fervent garden]

I want a doggo 😄

[glass pagoda]

Yayayaaya

[bitter lodge]

I want to have like 500 doggos.

they are so cute.

[white dawn]

RIPs are the first time you've got a resource which can feel like they take a lot of effort, but I've got some bad news about the rest of the game.

[fervent garden]

When I make factory I will kidnap every creature I can. Including that unkillable flying one.

[bitter lodge]

actually, all the food does. It can be used to early cause some enemies hurt x-x. But you can make some cool weapons and ammo

[glass pagoda]

what's this

[bitter lodge]

that is a lizard doggo as well xD

[fervent garden]

Doggie

[bitter lodge]

just more high res it seems.

[glass pagoda]

Im going to get all the lizard dogos in the map

But how do I drop berries

[bitter lodge]

Just drop it from your inventory

[fervent garden]

The "Destroy 1000 foliage" achievement went from 30 to 80 in 5 minutes with the chainsaw

[glass pagoda]

How

[bitter lodge]

like drag it out

[glass pagoda]

Alr

[white dawn]

There's also a key to drop your currently-held item while ingame, though I forget what it is. It's listed among the tooltip things in the lower-left of your screen, though

Just start hitting those keys until you find the one that works. :)

[glass pagoda]

If you nuke a lizard dogo then I will find you

[fervent garden]

Uhhhh

I am gonna go off the grid guys bye

[glass pagoda]

And rip you to shreds

Don't kill a lizard dogo dr I know where you live

[fervent garden]

I LIVE ON VENUS

[glass pagoda]

Yeah i know

Im outside your house making sure you dont kill a lizard dogo

[fervent garden]

I did it last night

I made an oopsie trying to clear foliage with a couple hundred nuke obilisits last night in sandbox

[ornate saffron]

Speaking of murder. Is the Cluster bomb the easiest way to clear vegatation until you get nukes>

[fervent garden]

Idk

[placid stirrup]

Idk

[glass pagoda]

Did you know that you have to make thousands of reinforced iron plates just to progress

[fervent garden]

Use foundations, and keep the belts straight, that makes everything more organised
Also don't be afraid to build UP too, don't need to all be at ground level

[pastel hedge]

How much power do you guys think it’s gonna take to start up six oil pumps and a bunch of 100 refineries

[fervent garden]

Ive been thinking of making 2 floors. Thought it was too early in game for that.

[shy mulch]

Maybe yea

[shy mulch]

The wiki tells you the power usage of every machine

[lone veldt]

hello guys where i can find french ppl to start a new world

[pastel hedge]

I had three floors before I even had Cole power

Have you tried #1201555265942724758

[lone veldt]

nop, js joined thanks

[weak epoch]

Biomass burners produce exactly the consumed amount of electricity right?

[glacial totem]

yes and can't charge batteries.

[weak epoch]

Thanks

[south idol]

yeeeaah, i make ai expansion servers to pick up the slack

Thought:
Do you think it would be good/fun to have hoverpack be battery powered?
Alternatively, a bigger, more expensive dark matter battery that is unlocked with peak efficiency?

[stable prairie]

Something changed with the console version and everything is in shambles

[idle parrot]

My Game crasehs aftser 5-10 min (ps5 goes Off) Cleaned it, Reinstallet dosent Work help me please

[stable prairie]

Apparently, things changed with multiple systems and now you actually have to choose what material to smelt

So now I have to walk back and forth across the map on foot to try and fix dozens of systems

[feral veldt]

When I put a machine on standby does it still use energy / capacity from the grid?

[frail sleet]

You have always had to do that

[frail sleet]

0.1 mw

[stable prairie]

My systems worked just fine until this morning. They'd smelt whatever went in without choosing a recipe

[feral veldt]

ty 🫶

[frail sleet]

Are you sure? E.g. when you copy a machine, it copies the recipe too

[stable prairie]

I'm having to go through every single smelter on my system now and select recipes

[charred sandal]

Can you crossplay between steam and console?

[stable prairie]

I was playing until midnight last night and everything was working smoothly.

Now I'm having a power crisis while I'm trying to get my smelters, constructors, and assemblers back online

[kind jewel]

Setup the first one, then middle mouse it and it will keep the settings

[stable prairie]

They didn't add keyboard and mouse support on console, and I have to go across the map for several different systems regardless

[charred sandal]

Also, whats considered the best starting area resource wise?

Starting up my 2nd play through with the gf

[low tartan]

Hey all, first time player here. I have just reached the point of Assemblers and needing to build reinforced plates / rotors / smart plates. I've realised that my production is now hopelessly slow. I've already rebuilt my factory once, I think I need to do it again. I assume rebuilding over and over is normal? I tried to make it all neat last time but I am thinking that maybe I'm wasting my time trying to be overly neat at this early stage? Should I just be focusing on maxing the production and worry less about neat right now?

[charred sandal]

Rebuilding over and over is very normal, especially new players.

[wide nacelle]

yes especially as a new player; not knowing what to expect next. game knowledge helps a ton in that regard but ofc you arent expected to know your 1st time playing

[charred sandal]

Each time you do it, youll learn something new.

[kind jewel]

Personally I don't waorry about making it neat until i have Coal power, that way I dont have to worry about power and can make it neat and efficent all at once

[stable prairie]

I recommend finding water

Coal power has been such a pain for me. I'm struggling with water on top of making compacted coal to maintain my kilowatt power usage

[low tartan]

thanks, that's what I was looking for. I won't waste time trying to make it pretty and just focus on making it work as fast as possible.

[charred sandal]

I wouldnt worry a lot about making it neat until youre on like, phase 4 to be honest. You'll learn a lot up to that point and have a better idea of what you want it to look like probably.

[kind jewel]

If you have compacted coal why not use fuel power?

[wide nacelle]

imo bootstrap your way to coal and then worry about making longer-lasting solutions

[stable prairie]

Don't have it unlocked

[low tartan]

it feels like at this point the value of iron takes priority over copper? I seem to have an abundance of copper wire so i should maybe just re-use all my ucrrent copper smelters etc for iron instead

[oblique gate]

Why find water?

I've been chopping trees to turn into Solid Biofuel.

[low tartan]

so far I haven't found water on the map

[shy mulch]

coal power needs a water supply

[stable prairie]

When your power usage triples, you'll need water for your coal generators

[solemn crystal]

fr, just make a tower of biomass burners

imagine generating power at a set clock speed 🤮

[kind jewel]

https://satisfactory-calculator.com/en/interactive-map

[stable prairie]

Biomass was such a struggle for me that it got to the point where my entire gameplay was collecting nothing but biomass

[low tartan]

collecting leaves is the thing i find the most painful so ill be getting rid of that power source as soon as i can

[stable prairie]

Even having a chainsaw, biomass isn't sustainable solo

[placid stirrup]

psst it's intentionally tedious

[shy mulch]

I love collecting leaves

[oblique gate]

I'm perfectly chill with everything constructing at the speed currently is.

I'm about to hit phase 3.

It gives me time to explore and gather more fuel.

[shy mulch]

I'd like to disagree, you just need to be more committed

[solemn crystal]

say that to the local forests i turned into nothing but plains

[stable prairie]

Sucks everything respawns, I'd love to permanently damage the environment

[ivory condor]

titan trees say hello

[shy mulch]

leaves and trees and mycelia don't respawn

[oblique gate]

Get the chainsaw.
Cut trees.
Place trees into storage.
Process them into biofuel.
Then process that into solid biofuel.

I have loads of machines.
Six burners, with 4 being auto fed, and 2 on the HUB.

[south idol]

mushrooms are even more efficient

[oblique gate]

Fuel lasts ages

[oblique gate]

What can they be processed into?

[stable prairie]

I have 6 coal generators right now and they're burning through compacted coal faster than my belts can carry it

[kind jewel]

I made it to Coal power with the 2 biomass on hub plus additional 2 free standing

[south idol]

biomass, but 1 mycelia becomes 10, as opposed to 1 -> 5 for wood

[kind jewel]

I am running 8 Coal genators on 2 MK1 miners

[stable prairie]

I think I'm cooked. Going online today has been a mistake

[oblique gate]

Thanks! 🤘

Just have to find them now

[stable prairie]

I've got miles of Mark 2 belts on a mark 1 generator that's maxed out with power shards

[placid stirrup]

Now I kind of want to build a side by side infrastructure required to create the same amount of power for all the generation types

[stable prairie]

I've got 2 miners on pure coal nodes and the belts just can't carry enough coal fast enough for 2 assemblers to make compacted coal

[south idol]

did you start in the grassy plains?"

[oblique gate]

Yeah

[wide nacelle]

is there any way to create mycelia or biomass lategame that doesnt require manual harvesting?

[south idol]

for mushroom: ||see what you can cut down in the purple forest...||

[wide nacelle]

so there is a finite amount of mycelia and biomass in the game 😮

[kind jewel]

@stable prairie May I PM you?

[feral veldt]

There will be coal or better before you run out of biomass

[wide nacelle]

I know, but specifically of those

[south idol]

finite, but more than you would want to gather

[brazen agate]

Theres lots of mycelia in the swamp with some extra friends

[mortal ginkgo]

biomass is not finite since you can get it tons from animal corpses.

but you should go phase 2 asap. it gets you coal

[wide nacelle]

just the idea that there are resource you can run out of (even if they arent necessary) is weird in a factory game 😄

I am not asking for help just curious about it

[brazen agate]

slug ran out too

[south idol]

oh, good point - i didnt even consider that. all remains must become points.

[shy mulch]

what about impure biomass nodes

[mortal ginkgo]

it is not weird, it is meant to push you for better stuff. Still, biomass is not finite

[brazen agate]

but still you can craft synthetic stuff

[stable prairie]

Permission granted

[mortal ginkgo]

THEY ARE ALL TRYING THEIR BEST LETS NOT BULLY IMPURE NODES OK?! OK!

[wide nacelle]

how do you get biomass if you run out of trees & mycelia on the map?

[mortal ginkgo]

"biomass is not finite since you can get it tons from animal corpses."

[stable prairie]

Biomass nodes?

[shy mulch]

1. you won't run out, really, there's more than you realise, way more
2. enemies respawn, and their remains can be made into biomass

[median rain]

I'm trying to automate reinforced iron plates and i need to underclock the screws so each one is making 30. I know you can underclock by percentages, but can you underclock by 2/3 or 1/3?

[stable prairie]

Trees and bushes respawn too

[mortal ginkgo]

and even then, you shouldn't stay at phase 1.

even an ultra silly coal power plant is better than biomass burning

[charred sandal]

I have my game on open for friends, but my gf can still never join unless I send her the session ID.

Anyone know how to fix this?

[shy mulch]

They don't

[wide nacelle]

ah I forgot about enemies. again, i am just talking theoretically not asking for help

[brazen agate]

what is GF

[charred sandal]

girlfriend

[stable prairie]

I cut down the entire purple forest and the more I ran around, the more it respawned

[shy mulch]

gluten-free

[brazen agate]

oh

makes sense

[mortal ginkgo]

Finite resources are still a welcome thing. DSP does this to get you out of your comfort zone and starter one.

[brazen agate]

Gamer Fellas

[shy mulch]

You're either drunk or playing a different game to the rest of us

[kind jewel]

PM sent

[stable prairie]

Wait, are all resources finite?

[wide nacelle]

so trees do respawn then

[mortal ginkgo]

it is an advanced social theory that comes after "friend". For some foolish reason some people think that not only friends are real, but also there is a female equivalent.

Indeed, such foolish ambitions need to be put to rest before they find out that they are not prepared for unforeseen consequences. Yes.

[shy mulch]

100% no, they don't

[charred sandal]

Anyone know why my friends cant join without a session ID? Its set to open for friends

[stable prairie]

I'm playing on standard settings so I can earn achievements too

[median rain]

I'm trying to automate reinforced iron plates and i need to underclock the screws so each one is making 30. I know you can underclock by percentages, but can you underclock by 2/3 or 1/3?

[oblique gate]

Definitely not.
You can mine copper, iron and other nodes forever.

[hard ivy]

there's a fininte number of nodes, but each node can produce an infinite number of items

[charred sandal]

What? Trees respawn dont they?

[wide nacelle]

Yeah we were just talking about trees & mushrooms and biomass

[stable prairie]

How about the nodes that say "Temp"

[hard ivy]

not unless an update makes the map reset

[oblique gate]

I haven't seen them.

[shy mulch]

No, why are people spreading false information today. Trees do not respawn

[wide nacelle]

I have noticed the Temp nodes on my scanner as well. Are they just rocks?

[oblique gate]

Can we plant trees?

[stable prairie]

I think it's a console bug

[tall lantern]

you can type in a formula and hit enter and it'll convert that as close as it can. Or you can just type straight into the output amount field

[shy mulch]

They are things you will get to later

[hard ivy]

no, it's a group of nodes of mixed purity

[shy mulch]

No

[shy mulch]

You should report it then

[tall lantern]

eg 200/3'd get you to 66.6667%

[stable prairie]

I wouldn't know how

what tier do you unlock coal in?

[kind jewel]

Phase 3

[hard ivy]

*Tier 3, not phase

[stable prairie]

I will not be submitting a bug report cause I cannot currently create a Satisfactory account

I failed the captcha 6 times and now it just says "an unexpected error has occurred"

[low tartan]

ah, tier 3 requires the first bit of space elevator to be done i think, the smart plating requirement

[wide nacelle]

"Temp" is very weird... I cannot find very consistent information on it. Some people say it is groups of nodes (which doesnt make any sense to use "Temp" to describe that imo) some people say it is breakable rocks, some people say it is literally nothing

[low tartan]

ok, so thats literally the next thing i unlock

[mortal ginkgo]

bunch of too close nodes can cause to trigger "Temp" icon.

this game got really small and not fixed for ages bugs that I am curious why they just dont fix them.

[stable prairie]

Now it's the only factory game on console and really scratches the itch for a starving market

[mortal ginkgo]

Makes it weirder that some bugs just went for console too. 😛

[somber monolith]

My motor factory makes 5 motors using 10 stators and 10 rotors and I’m producing exactly that yet the rotors and stators are backing up does anyone know why?

[stable prairie]

I wish I could get to that point

[wide nacelle]

backing up as in producing too many? that shouldnt really be a problem 😄

[stable prairie]

I'm probably gonna have to restart my entire system for the 4th time in the first week of playing

[wide nacelle]

check with a calculator https://satisfactory-calculator.com/en/planners/production

[somber monolith]

I’m producing 10 PM. And the recipe requires 10 PM so idk why it’s like this

[wide nacelle]

yeah, but are your motors being used or are they backed up as well?

[feral geyser]

Is your output storage backed up?

[mortal ginkgo]

clear out the excess inside all factories and it will go smooth

[somber monolith]

The out put is empty

[somber monolith]

Done it twice that’s why I came here

[feral geyser]

Double check your producers

[wide nacelle]

no power shards or sloops in anything i assume

[hard ivy]

That's the absolutely worst one you could've suggested lol

[somber monolith]

I’ve triple checked

[feral geyser]

But also, seems like a non-issue since you are getting extra

[wide nacelle]

its the top result on google lol what is a better one

[somber monolith]

Nah I’m broke

[hard ivy]

http://satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production is much better

[mortal ginkgo]

listen there is something weird going on here

[feral geyser]

Ah, okay, I thought you meant pipelines

[somber monolith]

I’m using the steel and copper alts

[shut grove]

Is it possible to make elevators actually function when designing inside a blueprint? Is this as simple as me connecting my blueprint in the designer to the power grid?

[somber monolith]

Yeah I realised it could be taken that way the second I said it

[feral geyser]

Power/resources do not flow inside blueprints, nor can you connect anything from outside to the inside

[shut grove]

It's kinda annoying

[bitter lodge]

It should be yes.

If you have a blueprint with machines all connected to power transfer, and cabled up. If you connect it to your power grid it should all fire right up.

[brazen agate]

Guys would i need rotors in late game

[wide nacelle]

you need everything

[hard ivy]

Why'd you think you wouldn't

[bitter lodge]

[shut grove]

I mean while it's actively being designed inside of the designer

[brazen agate]

idk

[bitter lodge]

In that case. No.

[brazen agate]

i have never finished the game

[bitter lodge]

So you just make it so you have an electrial connection you can just connect to the grid.

[brazen agate]

damn my english is so bad

[hard ivy]

They're used to build assemblers and make rotors (among other things). Do they look like they'd become obsolete at any point in the game?

[brazen agate]

imma make a lot of rotors

[bitter lodge]

Kyo. You are pretty damn wise about this game. I am coming back after several month haitus. My goal I left on was radio control units. What recipe would you suggest?

[ornate saffron]

i have been meaning to make radio control units for two weeks.....

[fervent garden]

Do plants and trees respawn after a while

[brazen agate]

no

[hard ivy]

All 3 are quite similar in complexity and resources required. The only one I wouldn't recommend is the one that uses HS Connectors, because it uses a ton of quartz and other stuff. But on the other hand, it uses the least aluminium, so that might be kinda useful sometimes

[bitter lodge]

I need them for advance alum production unlock

[fervent garden]

They don't?

[brazen agate]

I dont think they do

[ornate saffron]

correct

[shy mulch]

They definitely don't respawn. Why is everyone seem to be asking that today

[bitter lodge]

I appreciate your input so much.

[fervent garden]

So once I harvest it all, thats it

[wide nacelle]

scroll up a bit 😄

[ornate saffron]

oh i know im on phase 5 lol. I just havent automated them yet

[brazen agate]

thats not that easy

[shy mulch]

You will definitely not be able to harvest ALL the trees and plants

[brazen agate]

If he is unemployed he can

[shy mulch]

Maybe, in a year or so. But realistically, not gonna happen

[bitter lodge]

Oh wait....That is a good idea.

[hard ivy]

You can get biomass from enemies, which do respawn, so it wouldn't be much of a loss

[fervent garden]

Wanna test that?

[bitter lodge]

I should hand craft them then automate them with the better alum set up

[shy mulch]

Go for it

[bitter lodge]

Thank you Beefalo

automation in my automation game: Manually picking every blade of grass: 💯

[tall lantern]

#1201555265942724758

[hard ivy]

You should never handcraft anything past phase 1. If you don't want to fully automate something, handfeed a machine. Preferably one with sloops in it. DO NOT use the crafting bench

[bitter lodge]

That is gonna the plan. Machine and sloop to unlock advance alum production. This way I can take my super basic alum factory and upscale it for radio control units and anything else. Cause my sheet and alum casing production is like...nothing. i am taping like 2 bauxite nodes LMAO

[ornate saffron]

i have a Spreadsheet with everything i need to automate to complete phase 5....... there is so many items i need to do. But i hate taring everything down and remaking when its more efficient. no that I'm in phase 5. I am picking away at the list

[bitter lodge]

My biggest struggle and cause of burn out. Is transferring final products of factories ._.

Like I can have an iron and steel factory but now I gotta take from both? Great. I lose interest because I feel like it looks bad and idk where to make it

I genuinely have no fucking life. I could play satisfactory for 72 hours if I damn well pleased.

[feral geyser]

You could also make a nobelisk factory of that byproduct for a bit of extra sulfur

[hard ivy]

You can quite easily find a spot that has everything within 1 km for basically any factory except a large nuclear plant

[feral geyser]

Do it, send a snap of the 72-hour gameplay notice

HAHAHAHAH I might well do it.

[raw quiver]

How much coal does a coal powered generator use a min?

[ornate saffron]

I started in the Highlands Forest. There is three oil nodes Sulfer, coal and lots of pure nodes there. so i automated that really early

[hard ivy]

I don't think that's possible because even in singleplayer the game restarts every 24h

[feral geyser]

15 at regular clock

[feral geyser]

I've got a 30 hour notice

[hard ivy]

It says how much in the gen

[raw quiver]

I haven’t put coal in them yet trying to figure out how much I’m allowed to get

[ornate saffron]

Noot Noot

[hard ivy]

you don't need to do that to see it

[feral geyser]

A full mk2 belt can feed 8

[feral geyser]

You do, it doesn't tell you fuel consumption rate until you put in a fuel (it will tell you water rate, cuz that is constant)

[raw quiver]

If there’s no coal in a coal gen it doesn’t tell you

[raw quiver]

How much would mk3 use

[ornate saffron]

120/8=15

[feral geyser]

270/15 = 18

Would I need mk2 pipes for the 15 gens

[stable prairie]

It'd be better

[feral geyser]

Not if you pipe them in groups. 6 gens per mk1 pipe

So 3 groups of pipes

[brazen agate]

a year ago i was playing rust 24 hours a day

[stable prairie]

My current setup is 4 water extractors for 3 coal generators

[hard ivy]

you can just use 3+ mk1 pipes.

[feral geyser]

Why??

[hard ivy]

that's way too many extractors

[feral geyser]

You only need 1 slightly upclocked for 3 gens

[stable prairie]

It's the only way to get enough water consistently

[feral geyser]

Then you are doing something wrong

[stable prairie]

I've also got 2 water buffers too

[ornate saffron]

My rust group is on vacation in Bulgaria. ill be back in 10 days if they are allowed back into the USA

Can't have too many water extractors so long as there's always plenty of water in the system

[brazen agate]

last time i played was like a year ago and i remember that in 3 am i defended our base against 11 chinese

1v11

[feral geyser]

Jfc

[brazen agate]

i must have the clips

[brazen agate]

how many hours do you have in total

[feral geyser]

Not to be that guy, but go to #off-topic-general for non-SF stuff

[stable prairie]

My hours are low on this game

I've only got 64 hours in the past 7 days

[brazen agate]

my sf world is 40 hours but im still in phase 3

i played 60 hours in 5 days

[feral geyser]

That's technically overtime, buddy, you're doing fine

[stable prairie]

It's crazy you got to phase 3 that fast, I'm just barely past phase 2

[fervent garden]

I gotchu

[brazen agate]

thats not fast tho

i was in phase 3 in 20 hours in to the game

[feral geyser]

Everyone plays at different paces

[brazen agate]

i ve been only roaming map for 20 hours

[stable prairie]

Pure insanity

[fervent garden]

IF YOU FUCKS AREN'T TALKING ABOUT THE GODLY GAME OF FUCKING SATISFACTORY GET YOUR SHORT FUCKING BRAIN CELLS TO THE #off-topic-general

🥰 Id be a great mod

[stable prairie]

This isn't off topic?

[feral geyser]

I like to take my time and build things nicely so I don't have a bunch of scrappy builds I'm gonna abandon later.

[stable prairie]

Didn't even realize I switched channels

[fervent garden]

I was talking about earlier

[ornate saffron]

we already moved there lol

[fervent garden]

Suggest me for a mod or ima make sure your iron factory never sees the light of power again

[brazen agate]

i have no idea what should i do next

[feral geyser]

I will tag the mods so they can ban you. Does that work?

[stable prairie]

Try to get nuclear power

[brazen agate]

i demolished everything i only have hub now

[feral geyser]

(I won't actually)

[fervent sand]

grow the factory

[fervent garden]

Gasp

Ima kill ur lizard doggo with 20 nukes 🥰

[brazen agate]

i dont have one atm

[fervent sand]

make one

[ornate saffron]

oooph sounds like it would have been easier using the advance setting to start a new game at the same tech level

[brazen agate]

i got angry because everthing was unefficient or not symetrical

i only have the hub

[fervent sand]

sounds like you might want to build an actually good base

[sacred trail]

Is there a new patch or my game is broken? It's updating with 1.8 gb

[stable prairie]

Build a base near the waterfalls

[brazen agate]

i built my rust base core in sf

[stable prairie]

Plenty of open space

[brazen agate]

already

[crude canyon]

im glad they're making this game for console but... is it really worth it if you're not using mods?

[brazen agate]

i have a base but not a factory

[stable prairie]

They could add mods though so long as it doesn't edit the xml

[fervent sand]

can't answer to console but I've gotten just shy of 600 hours with no mods on pc

[feral geyser]

Sure, I played through the whole game before adding mods and it was hella fun

[stable prairie]

There's several games on the market that allow mods so long as it doesn't edit the xml

[fervent garden]

Okay so what ima do, ima destroy EVERY SINGLE THING on my map, put the hub FAR AWAY and then recreate everything. 🥰

[stable prairie]

But seeing Coffee Stain says they "can't" add keyboard and mouse support on console, I doubt they'll ever consider modding

[fervent sand]

then build a factory

[ornate saffron]

i play vanilla and i get much enjoyment. Limitations breed creativety

[brazen agate]

damn

[wide nacelle]

I prefer playing games like this without mods 🙏 Something special to me about doing things "as intended", but ofc mods are great too

[crude canyon]

I got the grappling hook mod and now I can't live without it

[wide nacelle]

that does sound fun 😄

[brazen agate]

i use like 700 mv and i make 5500 mv

[stable prairie]

Beats building ladders

[fervent sand]

or you could just enable flight mode, which is in the base game

[stable prairie]

Not if you want to earn achievements

[fervent sand]

fair

do mods on satisfactory not disable achievements?

[ornate saffron]

getting all achievements will set you free

[stable prairie]

I've heard rumors about a jetpack, but I wouldn't know

I just realized I lost like 20 hours of progress

[reef basin]

Each factory makes one product from raw resources

[stable prairie]

My play time remained the same, but now I'm only phase 2, not 3 and all my steel production was reset

[crude canyon]

also, I'm playing satisfactory+, you can't do that without mods!

[fervent sand]

fair, overhauls are a different case

[stable prairie]

That sounds fun, I'm already struggling with coal, but I'd like things to be more complex too

[brazen agate]

i have 500 power shard but no factory to use them

[ornate saffron]

Makes sense. You need mods to play modded ^_^. Im glad you are finding it fun. What do you like about it the most>?

[stable prairie]

Then again, fluid physics don't make sense, so that's a rough framework for anything complex

[ornate saffron]

we were all there at some point. time and practice will make you better

[fervent sand]

1. quit satisfactory
2. get factorio
3. add pyanodons
4. SUFFERING

[stable prairie]

Sounds like I need a gaming PC, not a console

[ornate saffron]

I like my Games like i like my life

Full of suffering

[wide nacelle]

Yeah, Factory games are best on a PC really.. is why Satisfactory is the 1st one to launch on a console

[fervent garden]

Automation is outrageous. I'm going to have over three THOUSAND solid biofuel.

[wide nacelle]

you just need more buttons than a console controller has

[fervent sand]

didn't factorio get a switch launch before satisfactory got console?

[stable prairie]

Factory games seem like they could work fine on console

It just comes down to optimization

[wide nacelle]

Ooh that does sound familiar actually

[stable prairie]

Switch got Factorio?

[fervent garden]

Honestly I wish I could use my keyboard and mouse for satisfactory on my console. I do it for a lot of games but it's not available for this

[wide nacelle]

Yes factorio is on switch. Someone here earlier said Satisfactory is the 1st one and I just took that for granted 😄 but it is the 1st on playstation/xbox I think

[stable prairie]

Coffee Stain said its "impossible" to add keyboard and mouse support

[ornate saffron]

techonica is a factory game ya>? thats on xbox i beleive

[stable prairie]

Saw that one of a dev blog and was floored

[fervent garden]

Thats stupid. It's available on a ton of console games I play.

[fervent sand]

probably not the first one (there's almost definitely a ton of smaller games), but the first major one

[fervent garden]

Techtonica is a factory game but it's like underground satisfactory

[ornate saffron]

i dont understand that. the ps2 had Keyboard and mouse support.

[stable prairie]

They said something along the lines of Microsoft saying they only allow certain games to have it

[ornate saffron]

ah

that makes more sense

[fervent garden]

Thats fucking stupid.

[stable prairie]

roblox, fortnite, and Call Of Duty have keyboard support

[ornate saffron]

FPS gamers call Keyboard and mouse controls cheating

[fervent garden]

Whats behind the locked panels in a constructor

[stable prairie]

It'd make sense for Microsoft to allow a factory game to have it too

[lethal raptor]

No, not at this moment. But we are working on making this feature available in the future.```

https://www.satisfactorygame.com/support

[stable prairie]

I'm wondering this too

[fervent sand]

can you send a screenshot in #screenshots?

I am unsure of what you mean

[fervent garden]

Roblox, redsec, Minecraft, Pacific drive, etc

[wide nacelle]

I think it is the overclock & sloop panels before they are unlocked

[ornate saffron]

I know a guy that uses a usb convertor for his fight stick so he can use a Keyboard and Mouse in BF6. I wonder if you can do the same for Satisfactory

[fervent garden]

Pinged you

[fervent sand]

@fervent garden yep it's this

[fervent garden]

My Xbox has usb places I use for my mouse, external hard drive and keyboard

[stable prairie]

I wonder when that was posted, cause I saw keyboard and mouse support mentioned in the dev video right before launch

[fervent garden]

Elaborate please?

[fervent sand]

things you unlock in the mam

[stable prairie]

Sloop panels? There's a purpose for them?

[fervent sand]

research them in the mam

lots of useful things in there

[stable prairie]

I've got 30 sloops and thought they're just for fun

[fervent sand]

they were, until 1.0, which changed everything

[ornate saffron]

for sure. but he uses a converter for a ps4 fight stick to ps5. so it regesters his mouse and Keyboard as a controller. this way he gets aim assist. (cheating i know) but i wonder if someone could use this method to use KandM< on console for satisfactory

[fervent garden]

I'm a sir.

[feral geyser]

You have not been knighted, so no you are not

[fervent sand]

the Molecular Analysis Machine, or M.A.M. for short (commonly shortened down to mam)

just in case this wasn't a joke

[fervent garden]

Actually..

[fervent garden]

It was a joke

[wide nacelle]

using Power Shards (crafted from Slugs) and Sloops you can overclock your machines to run faster and produce more resources (for more power... a lot power if you are doing both)

[feral geyser]

A little more than 13× the power if both to max 😭

[fervent garden]

With just 10 minutes of using a chainsaw with the area mode, I was able to get 3,220 solid biofuel.

[feral geyser]

Now imagine doubling your production at each step

[somber monolith]

How long does it take you guys to get to phase 3 normally I’m about 30 hrs in and still phase 2

[unkempt blade]

yeah and then imagine building an array of 4000 biomass burners and just how rewarding that would be

[ornate saffron]

and to think not long ago you didnt even really consider using the chainsaw as you needed all your biofuel for power lol

[fervent sand]

If you want to see something kinda scary... #screenshots message (to the new people)

[stable prairie]

I got to phase 3 in ~40 hours, but lost progress

Now I'm 60 hours in and still phase 2

[somber monolith]

What made you lose your progress

[stable prairie]

Woke up this morning and it's been total chaos

[somber monolith]

I like phase 2 ngl pretty simple and fun not much liquids

[stable prairie]

No clue what went wrong in 8 hours of being offline

[unkempt blade]

my factory cart ran into a power transformer and everything went downhill from there 🙁

[fervent garden]

So, with 3220 solid biofuel, I would get 1449 minutes of power, which is approximately 24 hours and 9 minutes.

[somber monolith]

Are you on a server?

[ornate saffron]

more then enough time to get to coal

[fervent garden]

LOL YOU THINK I WANT TO USE COAL NOW?

[stable prairie]

Local only, single player

[fervent garden]

I HAVE POWER FOR YEARS WITH HOW MUCH FORAGE I CAN GET. I'M GOING TO GO MAD WITH FUCKING POWER!

[unkempt blade]

straight to nuclear! anything between biofuel and nuclear is for quitters

[primal obsidian]

so like a manifold

[stable prairie]

Just wait until your consumption hits 1 kilowatt

[hard ivy]

very much not like a manifold

[fervent sand]

Nuclear!??!! Has to be Ficsonium!

[somber monolith]

You can make local servers? How I wanna make one and wake up with 10 million of everything

[primal obsidian]

nuh uh uhh

[primal obsidian]

so like if a manifold was like cool and better and worked

[stable prairie]

Just don't have gamepass and create a world, should be that simple

[hard ivy]

manifolds work fine tho

[stable prairie]

Don't need Internet to play this game

[zenith pecan]

For a while at least, I'm sticking with my current power station at the three towers 😄

[primal obsidian]

so then why use balancers

[unkempt blade]

yeah but you actually need nuclear for ficsonium - everything else is optional before then!

[zenith pecan]

Nuclear can so wait.

[bitter lodge]

The issue you are gonna run into.
Not enough power generation.
then you attempt to scale up with more gens.
more biomass needed/spread out. Less power time.
More biomass needed.

[somber monolith]

That isn’t a server? I thought u said u had a local server

[fervent garden]

YOU THINK I WANT NUCLEAR? I'M GOING TO USE QUANTUM POWER

[hard ivy]

for feeding manifolds and trains

[ornate saffron]

i only use balancers when i need to. like when splitting evenlly for Nuclear power

most the time i use manifolds and just manually drop in resources to skip the wind up time

[zenith pecan]

That's the only use case I seriously do balancing, if it's rad-haz, I'll balance it, otherwise it's just an artistic, not functional choice.

[stable prairie]

Nah

[fervent sand]

so you just don't power up your nuclear plant until ficsonium

[primal obsidian]

I am going to be making 1 fuel rod/min how many reactors can I power

[somber monolith]

10 I think

[unkempt blade]

the cartifold is superior to manifolds and balancers in every way

[stable prairie]

My power consumption dropped to 338MW and it was at 1 kilowatt. Something is VERY wrong

[fervent sand]

why would nuclear want a balancer over mani?

[primal obsidian]

should I use balancer for it or will manifold work

[glass pagoda]

Hello

[unkempt blade]

they both work they just won't have the joy and cuteness of the cartifold

[fervent sand]

hi

[somber monolith]

Idk I’ve never gotten to nuclear let alone aluminium but Ik a fully over clocked reactor uses 0.5 also mb it’s 5 non over clocked reactors not 10

[stable prairie]

I wish we could make batteries

[fervent sand]

you can

[hard ivy]

you can?

[kind jewel]

we can

[somber monolith]

Who’s gunna tell him

[stable prairie]

Sometimes I produce way too much power and that'd be a nice buffer

What phase are they in?

[hard ivy]

you can?

[somber monolith]

It’s only for when your grid goes offline it’s phase 2

[fervent sand]

3 or 4 iirc

[somber monolith]

It’s phase 2

[hard ivy]

!wikisearch power storage

[raven axle]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/index.php?search=power+storage

[stable prairie]

What tier?

[somber monolith]

4

[fervent sand]

whoops answered for teir

[bitter lodge]

@ornate saffron could you dm me your spreadsheet? I kind of want to see it and maybe use it as a template for my own world. If not, I totally understand <3

[somber monolith]

Set up one for every 100 MW you produce and if your grid goes offline you have 1 hr of backup energy

[stable prairie]

How do you unlock it?

[somber monolith]

Or 2 for every 100 MW and you get 2 hrs of backup power

[somber monolith]

Just unlock the advanced power at your hub it’s phase 2 teir 4

It’s the one with the big pylon towers

[stable prairie]

Expanded power infrastructure?

I've got a while to go for that, I need to produce a lot of steel

[fervent sand]

time to build a base now

[abstract heron]

How big and where u going to build it

[ornate saffron]

I just break up my power grid using the Power Priority swith. I make all the power generating sections the highest priority. the second highest are the factories that have fluid balancing that is a pain to power back up and rebalance. the lowest priority are the factory that feed directly into my ||could Storage||

[fervent sand]

oh no I was telling wheels to do it. I'm still not sure where I want to build my base yet. Honestly probably titan forest will be my main base

[abstract heron]

i am having Dune Desert as my main base

[fervent sand]

once I progress far enough. I made the mistake of making my creative world start on onboarding

[abstract heron]

Just working on ALL Copper and Iron Dune Desert and cayons with Refeinrys

[stable prairie]

So, are all the spawn points on one map?

[fervent sand]

yes

[abstract heron]

there 4 on the map

[ornate saffron]

i dont have a main.... i just move my hub to where my focus is at that time

[primal obsidian]

thanks

[zenith pecan]

I keep my hub in the dunes, when I get to building it, I will have a teleport hub directly below it.

[primal obsidian]

im on a multiplayer server so I don’t really know how long it takes

[ornate saffron]

fair

[abstract heron]

Hey u 🙂

[stable prairie]

This map is insanely large

It's occurred to me I've discovered 4 biomes

[fervent sand]

#screenshots message

[ornate saffron]

love it

[stable prairie]

I can't see myself exploring everything unless there's planes

[abstract heron]

Time for a soon test run on the refeinrys got to move the ore of copper and iron and sink and maybe a few more refeinrys set up then testing

[zenith pecan]

I miss my old cannonway, could go from anywhere to anywhere in like ten seconds in my old save (before update 8)

[stable prairie]

I haven't left the very bottom area

[somber monolith]

Hyper tube cannon and the jet pack is essentially a plane

Just search up how to make it it’s very easy and cheap

[white dawn]

You're missing out; ground-based exploration can be a lot of fun

[wicked nacelle]

even if you don't have a jetpack yet, you can parachute down or just... sacrifice 99% your health bar 🙂

[somber monolith]

Also there’s trains that can help speed it up

[white dawn]

Especially in the earlier game with creature hostility on, since you've got the threat of danger to make you nervous about certain things

[primal obsidian]

you have to build them though

[somber monolith]

The walk back without a jetpack 😭

[zenith pecan]

I use a lot of concrete for double ramp foundations in order to facillitate ground exploration.

[fervent sand]

explorer is a good option for ground-base exploration. As the name would suggest

[wide nacelle]

parachute is awesome but is there a way to fall faster on purpose without just taking it off?

[ornate saffron]

Go find the unlockable Cassettes for the boombox. the Deep Rock Galatic OST is booming

[wicked nacelle]

launch yourself back. you can power with bioburner if you don't have power

[somber monolith]

If your travelling from a to b consistently is what I mean with trains

[wicked nacelle]

I don't actually knnow

[white dawn]

You can toggle the parachute on/off, don't have to completely take it off, btw

[primal obsidian]

yeah if I knew how to set them up I would use them a bunch

[somber monolith]

Having cannons scattered everywhere will be a problem

[wide nacelle]

how?

[wicked nacelle]

still use a cannon

[white dawn]

I think just the jump button

[wicked nacelle]

it's not

[hard ivy]

double tapping crough turns it off iirc?

[white dawn]

Oh, right, crouch

[fervent sand]

nope, esp. when you have trains

[white dawn]

And then jump to re-activate (sorry, it's been awhile for me)

[somber monolith]

True but trains are more precise like if you need to go between closer areas

[hard ivy]

why?

[wide nacelle]

Ill have to try that, Jump doesnt do anything

[fervent sand]

just do a smaller cannon

[south idol]

is the photo-mode airbrake well known? I found that myself, but I can't imagine I'm the first or only one

[somber monolith]

Cause it’s ugly and it’ll take hour to get rid of them

[somber monolith]

Ig but trains are cooler

[primal obsidian]

train

[wicked nacelle]

I still wouldn't use a train. I'd either just run or I'd hypertube. If you have a normal hypertube you can just get in healf way down the cannon and go much less far quickyl

[white dawn]

If you're one to like using hypertube cannons then they're great, but some folks just don't like 'em

[wicked nacelle]

trains are great for moving stuff and awful for moving people

[stable prairie]

It takes me 10 minutes to walk across the bottom circle starting area there unless I use the slide tech, but even then it's at least 5 minutes

[fervent sand]

then build them as part of your build

[white dawn]

(Plus they go against the "spirit" of the game and are only still possible in the game 'cause CSS threw a bone to the folks who likes them. :)

[quiet dagger]

does anyone know why my power has randomly gone out and won't turnt back on, i am producing more than enough so I am unsure

[wicked nacelle]

You don't like them. Just say that. It's not the "spirit of the game" bs

[primal obsidian]

maybe resources ran out

[white dawn]

Hard disagree about that; passenger rail is A+

[primal obsidian]

or you miscalculated

[quiet dagger]

All coal generators have max water and coal

[white dawn]

Trivial cross-map transit is definitely not in the spirit of the game, they've been quite clear about that very frequently

[somber monolith]

I mean if you were flying to go get sloops or smth and built one to just fly back when your done

[raven path]

probably water extractors?

[white dawn]

I mean, they obviously don't mind that folks can build hypertube cannons

[primal obsidian]

how much in cons

[quiet dagger]

coal gens have max water

[white dawn]

But it's also very obviously not the intended way to get around. :)

[fervent sand]

and your producing more than your max consumption?

[quiet dagger]

No

[zenith pecan]

I am considering a train line that will run the perimeter of the map with half a dozen stops just for hands off travel.

[quiet dagger]

i'll see

[quiet dagger]

650

out of 866 max

[white dawn]

(Again, not saying that nobody should use cannons; use 'em if you like! I've used them myself in the past. But it's also entirely reasonable to Not Use Them)

(And also that passenger rail is great. My preferred method of moving around the map, honestly)

[zenith pecan]

I won't use cannons to the same extent I did before simply because huge saves react poorly with them, I'm going to get 20x teleporters and destinations assembled instead.

[magic trench]

you're looking into it too deep. they wanted to patch it out as soon as it was discovered, but when the playerbase protested, they obliged. it's game design, get a grip lmao

[white dawn]

Heh, yeah, Portals don't bug me since they're so late-game and relatively expensive to fuel. Feels like a nice reward. :)

[primal obsidian]

send a screenshot of your power graph

[ornate saffron]

I like making a train station stop in my bigger builds just to park a train that i drive in. that way i can just autopilot to where i want go then afk and do chores and such without disrupting my logistics

[white dawn]

Er, isn't that exactly what I just said, but phrased differently? Not sure why you think I need to get a grip; just discussing opinions here (and, y'know, CSS's own public statements about 'em)

[white dawn]

Yeah, I love being able to set a destination and just arrive there. With some nice sightseeing on the way

And watch the trains occasionally playing chicken with passing drones. :D

[zenith pecan]

I never really see "expensive" in the game that has limitless resources, it's just time taken to plan and deploy, also 20 portals wouldn't use that much in the way of fuel when all told.

[ornate saffron]

this is espicially great when you have a velcro cat #off-topic-media

[white dawn]

Oh sure, I mean "expensive" in terms of player effort. Though by the time you unlock portals you've probably got a lot of Pasta production set up just begging for a use, and so you're likely just one refinement step away from a lotta portals. :)
