satisfactory

[crimson lantern]

So its pointless

[somber monolith]

It doesn’t use any electricity only makes more

[fervent garden]

Idk

[reef basin]

if you mean resource-wise and ignore cost of water, yes. But not in general

[crimson lantern]

Gotcha, ta

[somber monolith]

That’s what I was asking yeah

[reef basin]

generators don't use electricity

[stoic steeple]

It uses more resources per minute

[reef basin]

it saves space

[prisma wagon]

Goodmorning chat, hello again greeny i hope your morning is going well! I did my first manifold after watching a short of gaming with doc about it and its been game changing for me. HOWEVER i instantly spaghettified the assembler extension of it to make reinforced plates and rotors and then the metal frames. is there a similar method for condensing the assemblers being branched off my crafting manifolds that im not seeing (I see a problem with the fact of- how do i keep my basic materials ((plates, rods , screws, etc.)) so that if i need them theyre not just being dumped into assemblers. sorry for the long message 😄

[white dawn]

Yeah, anyone who's inflicted fuel gen spam on themselves will attest that overclocking gens is far from useless

[north summit]

Everything should be over locked

[crimson lantern]

What does the blue light mean?

[north summit]

Optimal

[reef basin]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Tutorial:Independency is what I'd recommend

basically, every factory goes from raw ores to finished product which is shipped to storage. That way you have guaranteed production to storage (and it's never touched by other factories, if other factories need that item, they will make it themselves)

[somber monolith]

Your overclocking it

[fervent garden]

What tier is choo choos

[somber monolith]

6

[crimson lantern]

Ahh

Ta

[fervent garden]

Which phase?

[somber monolith]

3

[ornate saffron]

Depends on.l the goal. For example, You may want to make a city scape with lots of high rises. In that case having more machines is nice. You don't have a bunch of empty space

[fervent garden]

GOD FUCKING SHIT COCK DAMN IT

[somber monolith]

It’s not that bad phase 2 is easy

[silk ocean]

I sometimes wonder why choo choos are relatively late game

[fervent garden]

A thousand fucking smart plating? I haven't automated them yet

[ornate saffron]

I don't think they are. I feel they are mid game

[somber monolith]

Only takes a hour and a bit at 10 pm

[silk ocean]

I guess technically they are mid game yeah

[ornate saffron]

Youll need more then that

[fervent garden]

Automating smart plating is easy it's just annoying

[prisma wagon]

essentially make smaller belts and not expanding upon expanding trying to upkeep with the demand of the new products?

[mortal ginkgo]

I think they are exactly where they should be. Phase 2 got wobbly bois, Phase 3 got choo choo, Phase 4 got drone bois, phase 5 got UR MOM LOL GOT YE GUD BROTHERMAN KEKEKEKEKE

[hard ivy]

I haven't automated them ever

[somber monolith]

Just send the materials from ur storage into a overclocked slooped constructer and go exploring when you get back you’ll be ready

It’s all I did

[fervent garden]

I only have 3 things automated rn. Concrete, reinforced iron plates and rotors

[somber monolith]

Then you shouldn’t be worrying about beating phase 2 yet

[reef basin]

yeah, if new factory needs a product you already produce, ignore that production and make it from scratch for the new factory. No reason to tap into existing production, keep the existing production for your personal use

[prisma wagon]

that explains why i keep roadblocking my self and staring at what i have for 40 minutes. My intuition is clashing with progress. Thanks for the help as always mr.greeny

[somber monolith]

I love cannons

[reef basin]

yeah, no reason to produce for the future, especially if you don't know what future holds 😉

[silk ocean]

Automate everything, just build for what you need now

[reef basin]

also just to be sure - obviously this is just one way to play and you're welcome to ignore that advice partially or fully. I just personally think it's a great way to play that natively removes tons of issues players (especially new ones) often run into. But there's many ways to play, pick what you find most fun and do that 😉

[ornate saffron]

Bitches love Cannons, I'm bitches

[prisma wagon]

Well no! i keep hitting huge roadblocks as i try to spaghetti all my basic resources into things like plates and then rotors and then it takes like 5 minutes for 2 things. This made alot of sense.

[silk ocean]

I guess the exception is if it's no more effort to scale up an installation that's currently more than you need, may as well and just sink the excess

[somber monolith]

Who isn’t bitches

[silk ocean]

(apart from more power consumption)

[fervent garden]

Ann hour and a half of work just to make my journey to my power plant 5 minutes faster

[silk ocean]

But you can always underclock

[ornate saffron]

Blueprints help too. That way you have a pre-made custom asset for thing you are building all the time.

Iron ingots bp
Metal plates bp
Rods bp
And so on.

This allows you to quickly build you base level of production.

Mind you this can make every factory seem the same.

[feral geyser]

Me

[ornate saffron]

Tier four unlocks power pylons. You can use them as zip lines

[reef basin]

yeah, one of the advantages of indepdendency is that even though you're producing the same things in different factories, every factory can make the same thing in a different way (e.g. use different recipes), which you can tailor to resources around you, recipes you have, etc. you can also experiment with different ways

[somber monolith]

You hate cannons??

[feral geyser]

Yes

I'd rather zipline

[reef basin]

yeah, cannons are 🤢

[ornate saffron]

I love ziplining. But I also want to feel like a human cannonball

[feral geyser]

Okay, Evil Knievel

[prisma wagon]

My idea is that I learn the basics of production in a correct way so that I can then learn and create my own forms of production, in a way thatll actually function. Basically just learning the foundations of logistics and ill apply creativity after that but im trying to force myself to solve this game myself then if needed ask here! I've just seen alot of people restart constantly and i want to push myself to stick with my first one! thanks for the information.

[ornate saffron]

My first though was Damien Rices' song cannonball.

Second thought was super Dave Osborn

[fervent garden]

Do I get any vehicles in tier 5 or 6

[feral geyser]

Drones, but you can't ride them.

[somber monolith]

Why

[feral geyser]

Or is that tier 7

[somber monolith]

Teir 7

[ornate saffron]

There is a rideable vehicle in the MAM

[fervent garden]

Where

[feral geyser]

Quartz

[somber monolith]

Quarts

[silk ocean]

Just when you click the emoji the chat jumps lol

[reef basin]

it's a bug that should've been fixed instead of kept, invalidates other methods of transport, is very much OP, is undocumented and effect varies based on conditions like FPS and stuff

[fervent garden]

Blade runners is not a vehicle

[ornate saffron]

Keep going

[feral geyser]

We're not talking about those

[fervent garden]

Guessing it's the very last one

[silk ocean]

tbh keeping cannons was the right choice - there comes a point where ain't nobody wants to continually drive trains around

[fervent garden]

Cause why wouldn't it be

[feral geyser]

Not quite

But close to the end

[somber monolith]

Wdym if they kept it in it’s not a bug anymore and other methods are better in certain scenarios

[ornate saffron]

Not a bug, its a feature

[fervent garden]

I THOUGHT I GOT THE EXPLORER FROM THE TIERS

[feral geyser]

Nope, it's in the MAM

Best vehicle in the game

[ornate saffron]

Don't sleep on the awesome shop or the MAM. Lots of useful stuff

[feral geyser]

BAR NONE

[reef basin]

it's essentially a bug. Yes, technically it's a feature when they kept it in, but it's still based on a bug

[plain gate]

there are times as a gamedev u keep bugs that are cemented into the game and this is one of those

[reef basin]

they could very much just remove/replace it

[fervent garden]

I know I get a Cybertruck from the awesome sink

[feral geyser]

They absolutely should too

[fervent garden]

Why does the Cybertruck only turn one way though 😭

[plain gate]

replace with what

[somber monolith]

It’s not a bug anymore tho so why hate it and its a fun feature

[plain gate]

if a bug lasts some period of time and it's well known there is some point where patching it is now negatively perceived

[reef basin]

proper pipe boosters that would be balanced, documented and stable

[ornate saffron]

Becuase like the irl one its 🐕 💩

[reef basin]

I explained why I don't like it

the fact that some people find it "fun" doesn't invalidate any of my points

[fervent garden]

Honestly it would've been way funnier if it was called cyber dumpster and you get to drive around a dumpster.

[somber monolith]

How long are phase 5 unlock wait times it’s already 15 mins in phase 3

[nocturne cairn]

I think getting stuck inside the accelerator due to it being janky is enough of a reason to patch it out

[white dawn]

Just because they decided to leave it in doesn't mean it doesn't go against the intended methods of map traversal. :) Personally I don't hate them, but I'm not really a fan of them, and rarely build them (though I've done so once or twice on the past)

[clear aspen]

Hello chat

[plain gate]

intended methods are meant to be broken :p

[nocturne cairn]

It looks awful as well, it looks like you are rubberbanding

[feral geyser]

Cybertrucks could have been really cool if:
A) they had used more old-school solid construction techniques that were tried and true, but heavier, and
B) Musk weren't a piece of shit

[white dawn]

Sure, and clearly CSS doesn't really mind that players can do so

[feral geyser]

As it stands, they're just a "cool" video game car.

[ornate saffron]

I only use them when Im lost far from home. I plop down a bp aim for the space elevator and become super

[somber monolith]

If they’ve had it for a while they clearly would have added something better early game if the cannon was to good

[silk ocean]

All the hypercannons do is reduce how long it takes to get around and in turn how many hours you have to sink into the factory. They're otherwise harmless imo

[white dawn]

But still, I prefer to keep the world feeling larger to me. :)

[clear aspen]

How’s yalls day?

[ornate saffron]

Good, just had a nice breakfast

[plain gate]

can i get a nuclear fact

[clear aspen]

What did you have?

[somber monolith]

Terrible cause I have to make heavy modular frames now

[white dawn]

They've only had it for awhile because it was an unintended side effect of tube implementation and it wasn't worth patching out

[ornate saffron]

Banana split waffles

[white dawn]

Which is why they got broken during U8 development; nobody at CSS had considered them a supported feature, so nobody was testing them

[fervent garden]

Okay so ima just sit here till I got 1k raw quartz.

[clear aspen]

One uranium fuel pellet creates as much power as one ton of coal with 0 carbon Emmisons

[plain gate]

there are cooler bugs to teleport though ngl

[white dawn]

They did bow to community pressure and reimplemented them, though even then, some prior cannon implementations remained broken

[ornate saffron]

The explorer uses a wide range of fuel
Grass
Wood
Biomass
All fuel
All coal

[fervent garden]

Is 1k raw quartz enough to get it

[eager pilot]

Gotcha, I feel like rebuilding my starter for the second time to tidy things up but I’m not 100%.

[fervent garden]

Whats the best

[ornate saffron]

No clue. I automated quartz and just used it

[clear aspen]

@plain gate

[reef basin]

I wouldn't say "community pressure", I'd say "vocal minority pressure" 🙂

[plain gate]

oo wow interesting

[fervent garden]

Ima just keep mining quartz while I go make my fat ass some brownies

[ornate saffron]

Depends on what you call best. I use whatever fuel I have

[white dawn]

Anyway, not trying to convince anyone not to use cannons; if you want to, go for it. :) Just saying that there's entirely valid reasons why someone might Not Use Them, or just not like them in general

[fervent garden]

I have a fuck ton of solid biomass

[clear aspen]

I have more

[plain gate]

whats your favorite nuclear power plant

[clear aspen]

A lot more

[ornate saffron]

Then use that

[clear aspen]

Personally it’s the STP(south Texas project) PWR located in bay city Texas and it provided about 40%of all the power in San Antonio (the city I live in) @plain gate

[zenith pecan]

I do miss my old cannway hub, but fps and the chunk loading with a large save ended my use of them.

[haughty torrent]

Where are some people's favourite locations for more late game coal power plants?

[white dawn]

Yeah, that was definitely a shame

I actually do feel differently about fully-contained cannons; it's only really the open-air ones I'm not so fond of

[zenith pecan]

The former station will instead be used as a teleporte hub, no loss except earlier in game.

[plain gate]

oo damn how much power does it make

[reef basin]

wdym by fully contained cannons? hypertube boosters?

[ornate saffron]

I watched a documentary on that. Interesting stuff.

I went on a nuclear powerplant tour back in grade 5. It was neat

[clear aspen]

Max capacity is around 2gw(i could be wrong I haven’t checked in a while)

[clear aspen]

Do u know the name of the plant?

[clear aspen]

@plain gate

[zenith pecan]

Once I finish the concrete plant and get the last of my lost blueprints remade and this time backed up, I'll start work on the teleporter hub.

[plain gate]

so like one satisfactory nuclear plant haha

[ornate saffron]

Pickering Nuclear Generating Station

[plain gate]

dw no need again u ping already when replying lol

[ornate saffron]

They don't do tours anymore

[feral geyser]

Dang Canucks

[ornate saffron]

Im a nerd and I grew up not far from a Beefalo farm. USB plus Beefalo =USBeefalo

[ornate saffron]

You mean "The kindest warcriminals in history"

[clear aspen]

The production of STP is 2709 Mw

[plain gate]

thats like one and a half particle acceperators :O

[clear aspen]

Then again that’s 2 turbines it’s about 1354 mw per gen

[ornate saffron]

Irl the LHC uses 200mw

But in game we are essentially creating matter from energy

[bitter pine]

hello

[white dawn]

Yeah, basically. Taro had a pretty crazy underground tube network which admittedly was probably even more "immersion-breaking" than open-air cannons; could get across the map in like under 10 seconds

But at least that was balanced out by the effort+time required to build it out, rather than just launching yourself into the air

[reef basin]

yeah, that was essentially my hypertube fix suggestion pre-1.0, but now I've given up in trying to push my suggestion

[bitter pine]

i am new here!

[reef basin]

to have hypertubes only work the way they do now if you don't launch yourself, and instead of stacking entrances you'd have a booster like pump

[ornate saffron]

Welcome, please note the various categories for chat.

Using the proper chat makes information gathering and social situations easier.

Are you playing on console or pc

[bitter pine]

pc but i did not buy it yet

i am thinking for buy it

[white dawn]

Yeah, I'd dig that

[ornate saffron]

Ah, its a decision for sure. I can be addictive

[hard junco]

hey is it possible to mix two parts in one belt and separate them after with smart splitters to feed a two different assemblers?

[bitter pine]

hm

[white dawn]

I think you can still add mid-tube "cannon" sections and have them work, but I suspect you have to do it too frequently to make it viable for long-range tubing

[ornate saffron]

Yes this is possible. Its called a sushi line

[reef tree]

yo guys im new and i dont understand the rail way system does anyone have an good simple explanation video?

[hard junco]

wont one part dominate the other if they are more in output ( i have 50 wires and 5 modular frames ) will the assembler work at 100%

[ornate saffron]

Yes but as long as you don't go over you belt limit it'll be fine

[clear aspen]

As the children yearn for the mines i yearn to be pinged

[hard junco]

perfect, what about truck stations i am moving computers and circuit board and iron ingot, iron ingots are taking most of the truck station and they are first in queue so my foundries are getting full of iron but my manufacturers are idle, i am moving 130 iron ingot and 2 computers 5 circuit board i used a smart splitter at the track station output but like i said iron is going out first

[ornate saffron]

I havent played with truck to much. But when I did use them I did one truck per item. Do to there limited through put.

[reef basin]

signals separate rails into blocks, each block can only contain one train

[hard junco]

Humm guess ill have to find a solution i built a smalt area for one truck station only, making more two stations wont fit but ill figure it out thank you for your answers

[white dawn]

Apart from sticking within your belt limits, the other necessity when working with sushi is to always have a plan for your overflow

The "overflow" outputs should move down the line, and you'll want a sink at the end just in case something overflows all the way

If your math is right and you're sending the exact amounts of material through, you shouldn't ever actually get anything sunk (though you might end up with a bit while the system first stabilizes), but I personally wouldn't be brave enough to run without. :)

[somber monolith]

Idk wether to use more machines but no power shards or use power shards with Less machines because it would make it easier but power shards aren’t infinite does anyone have an idea what I should do

[white dawn]

But yeah, sushi-feeding stuff like assemblers + manufacturers can certainly work well. I've not often done it myself, but it can make for some real clean-looking belting

[reef basin]

they are infinite

[hard junco]

but if i dont have any overflow m good right? pretty sure 50 cables and 5 modular frames have where to go the assemblers are both used fully too

oh so i have to use a sink even if the math is correct 100%

[somber monolith]

Well inf power shards are a long way away

[reef basin]

you can get infininte power shards in T0

[somber monolith]

Do you think I should use them for stuff other than miners before then

[somber monolith]

Wdym? How can I

[white dawn]

If your math is 100% correct you theoretically shouldn't actually need a sink (though as the system is first stabilizing you could end up with some overflow to deal with anyway). As I say, personally I wouldn't want to run without, though, just in case. :)

[reef basin]

doggos bring slugs

[ornate saffron]

Depends on what you want.

Slugs can be put into a constructor and slooped.

I have over 1300 and I have nearly collected all the slugs

[ornate saffron]

Spoilers.

||There is a way to craft them||

[somber monolith]

Well yeah but that’s going to take as long as getting to a power shard factory

[somber monolith]

Ik

[hard junco]

better safe then sorry so ill just build the sink yea

[somber monolith]

Ik that but it’s still not a lot when it’s 3 per machine

[reef basin]

sure, but my point is that if you want to put shards somewhere, just go put them there. You can always get more or get them back from machines

[somber monolith]

True but then it would break my factory?

[reef basin]

you can just build the extra buildings to even it out

[ornate saffron]

I have 1300plus in my inventory. Im using so many. I like small footprints

[white dawn]

I believe sinks only consume full power when they're actively sinking, too, so it shouldn't be a power burden

[clear aspen]

Is it just me or does anyone else just like seeing the factories out in the open manufacturing goods?

[white dawn]

(They presumably still do the 0.1MW thing like other idle buildings, but you won't be overloading your grid. Though of course sinks are pretty big, so the space concerns could be annoying)

[clear aspen]

What clock speed is for npp making 1345.5Mw?

[white dawn]

I still want a vanilla-game Awesome Sink "Console" building which is a lot smaller and just gives you the ability to redeem coupons

[shy mulch]

If you want lots of power shards then get to tier 9 and automate them

[white dawn]

I always find it a bit annoying trying to incorporate a full sink into my exploration-spoils-processing-area, just to be able to grab coupons from there

(I know such a thing already exists via mods)

[plain gate]

Nuclear cores tend to be to heavy for drones most of the time

[hard ivy]

Why not?

[clear perch]

But it’s not even the nuce cores that are the issue

[clear aspen]

I was being sarcastic

[clear perch]

It’s the Luther dumping magnet control rods lmao

No worries

I enjoy a bit of sarcasm

What’s the control rod recipe agian?

[clear perch]

Uhhh I forgot

[clear aspen]

I’m currently in school and to lazy to go on the wiki

Or sorry fuel rods

[clear aspen]

Wanna hear a cool and super awesome nuclear fact?

[clear perch]

Sure hit me

[clear aspen]

96-95% of all nuclear fuel in the world can be re-used to more nuclear power

Irl world*

[clear perch]

Yeah that sounds accurate

[ornate saffron]

Ya, in the US its against the law though.

[clear perch]

Age the uranium into plutonium

[clear aspen]

It is?

[clear perch]

Yes

[clear aspen]

I never heard of that

[clear perch]

Bc the amount of rads produced is apparently “too high”

At least that’s the only answer my boss will give me

[ornate saffron]

Ya, it requires civilians to purify things to weapons grade.

You should move this to #off-topic-general

[clear aspen]

Also make some of the water into tritium water and use it in fusion

[clear perch]

Sounds correct

[winged osprey]

Conveyor belts have the same problem that Minecraft Ores have, change my mind.
You spend more time handling/automating R.I.Ps for Mk2 belts than you do even using Mk3 belts. Since MK4 and MK3 are in the same item tree (Steel), you tend to skip right over Mk3 into Mk4.

[clear perch]

While true

It’s by about mk6 that things actually get a bit easier

Or so I’ve noticed

[hard ivy]

Yeah, most things I build with mk3s, I build assuming I'll upgrade them to mk4s soon

[ornate saffron]

Testing my memory
Conveyors

Mk1 iron plates
Mk2 reinforced plates
Mk3 steel beams
Mk4 incased steel beams
Mk5 aluminum sheets
Mk6 timey whimy, wibbley wobbly stuff

[shy mulch]

Is that what I think it is? A big swirly thing in space!

[ornate saffron]

I do wish we could use the visuals for mark 5 Conveyors for the mark 6. The visual of the mark 6 puts me off when I want to make non futuristic designs

[ornate saffron]

Insert fezz emotw

[mystic oriole]

I was hoping for a much more beefy Mk6 belt, instead, forcefields.

[hard ivy]

ADA's text when unlock them "explains" why

[ornate saffron]

Dont get me wrong. Its a belt that breaks the laws of physics.... I get it lol

[mystic oriole]

hey I was only let down for like a week, and then I just got use to it and moved on.

[clear aspen]

Hmm, I may do a self ping

Make this chat interesting

Other than tryhardy

[somber monolith]

Is belt or train better for a distance like south to north Gold Coast

[hard ivy]

Depends on the amount of items

[clear aspen]

@clear aspen

[ornate saffron]

Its a matter of preference. I like using non train logistics if its within the biome.

[clear aspen]

The nuclear power plant in satisfactory (I think) is a BWR

[somber monolith]

Why not like trains?

[waxen robin]

Chew chew mother fucker

[somber monolith]

The big CHOO

[ornate saffron]

Im trying my best to make things look nice while using other means of logistics. I don't like moving my trains off there horizontal plane. They just go through a biome and I have one big train station in that biome. Then use other logistics to move the materials to where they need to go.

Conveyors, trucks, drones and such.

This makes it feel like a deep integrated logistic system. I beat the game long ago. Now every time I make a new save its a challenge run

[somber monolith]

Aight

[mystic oriole]

yeah, that's kind of where I'm at as well.

[ornate saffron]

Its the nature of ppl that play sandbox games. We gotta make it fun through our imagination

[mystic oriole]

Right, I'm currently making a void base. And debating if I want to make one nice looking portion above ground around the space elevator.

I'm also struggling to make it make sense and pretty.

[clear aspen]

Does anyone else just like watching the machines work instead of building big things

[ornate saffron]

There is that big circular section down to the void near the planes. I always thought it would be cool to put the space elevator there and build up a central logistics hub that waterfalled all the materials using conveyor elevators into the void below

[ornate saffron]

Depends how high i am

[mystic oriole]

I'm in the smaller one near the copper nodes. The space elevator is at the bottom of it.

[ornate saffron]

Can I see? #screenshots

For my screenshot in #screenshots It says "no more" I'm wondering if its "No, more" as in I need more or is it "no more" meaning I got enough

[shell wadi]

my elevator does not work, im going crazy

happens a lot to me too.
I end up fixing this one by redoing the vbelt from the floor hole to the splitter/merger.

[hard junco]

hey is there a video i can watch about truck stations all videos shows only the basics that you would alrady know, i was using one truck station to move 3 different parts, and that didnt work well so i built another truck station i used one to load iron and the other to load computers and circuit board, built two trucks gave each a diffrent path to unloading station, but they are loading from both station and unloading at both station

is it because they are close to each other?

[clear aspen]

There to many sweats

[sacred brook]

Can anyone help me with my coal generator? I finished it and it should be working but only 4 of the 8 are getting the coal needed even though I have 120 a min being equally divided among the 8

[clear aspen]

I must evacuate to off topic

Before the tryhardiation infects me

I’m joking

[shell wadi]

thx, problem solved

[mortal ginkgo]

whats happening is, a truck is passing through a truck station's loading zone and automatically adding a "pause for 1 second" node.

you won't see it happening, you won't even see it if you don't hide the other pathing of the tractor (it is in waypoint mode). And when you hide it and have only that problematic tractor's road is visible, you will see that pause sign. Delete it, and done.

it is annoying that game doesn't tell this.

I am obviously not stopping, why is tractor adding a stop point there? oh'well

[hard junco]

i saw a pause hologram (idk what to call it lol) and thought it didnt matter it make sense now thats why its stopping even tho i never stopped, so how can i avoid this? i built the station next to each other should i make them face each other will that work?

[mortal ginkgo]

as long as the tractor is not going through closeby of a truck station's load zone, it will be fine. note that the loading zone is bigger than it looks.

thats why truck stations are meant to have their own separate loading bay zones

outside of main road etc

[fair horizon]

My friend can not join. We are both on ps5. He cannot join

[hard junco]

aghh so it wont work i have a small area where i set up the stations, so cant use multiple stations in the same area and cant use one tuck station to load multiple parts

i get why people hate them now

[prisma wagon]

is it worth making a assembler factory just for reinforced plates? if so do i then split off an iron conveyer from a iron miner to do it? (itll pull away from my iron rod and screw factory)

[white dawn]

You'll want some RIPs onhand for building things, so a dedicated factory for them is a good idea, for sure

Personally I would make it a totally isolated factory, from ore -> product, rather than touching existing factories

(Which is also what I would do for basically every other resource in the game. :)

[round matrix]

as i went to make the post, i saw that both my cases were already reported (albeit not necessarily for bulgarian). to prevent duplicates i'll leave it! thanks for the help this morning

[prisma wagon]

so would i then have to find a new iron node far away to do that then instead of tapping into an existing iron node thats being used? thank you for the help

[white dawn]

If your local iron node has enough capacity to support the new factory in addition to the old, then sure, feel free to split off its output so it can feed two factories

In practice, more iron nodes shouldn't be too far away, though, if you want to use a new one

[prisma wagon]

I just feel like i have so much rod and screws then i know what to do with so im just going to split from the miner for the new assembly. very helpful info, thank you

[white dawn]

In general my advice tends to follow https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Tutorial:Independency fwiw.

Though I will also say that if you still haven't done your first Space Elevator delivery, I wouldn't sweat this kind of detail at all yet. Just do whatever you need to do to get that delivery finished, and then think about longer-term strategy once you have fully-automatable power up

[flint grail]

Question. Why is it whenever I'm trying to record/re-record a path, a vehicle that has the old path loaded decides to respawn right in the way of the new path I'm trying to record? Even though Autopilot is disabled

[somber monolith]

Are mk4 belts usually buggy I’ve got them recently and they’ve been constantly buggy

[flint grail]

Reference: #screenshots message

[tall lantern]

no

[somber monolith]

Why is ur factory so dark

[flint grail]

Was taken at night

[tall lantern]

belt "bugs" are usually user error like leaving a lower-tier segment in place

[somber monolith]

I’m not talking about low throughput more that they won’t go straight and do weird things while placing

[tall lantern]

changing mode helps with that most of the time, though that's not tier-specific

small 90degree turns are the main offender

[somber monolith]

I’ve only had it on mk4

[flint grail]

Bruh, the AI in this game is so stupid

[somber monolith]

So real

[flint grail]

Literally watched a truck on a path I JUST fixed drive through two parked tractors then into the water

[somber monolith]

That’s why trains are superior

[flint grail]

Bro, he phased through the walls, like HOW?!

[somber monolith]

The CHOO

[marble gulch]

Bolted iron plate or copper alloy ingot?

[flint grail]

Unfortunately, the distance between the production and warehouse makes a train line inefficient

[somber monolith]

Double it up 2 freights

[marble gulch]

Or rescan

[somber monolith]

Rescan

[marble gulch]

Kk

[fervent sand]

leave the area so they don’t have physics

[somber monolith]

There’s better early game

[marble gulch]

Fine concrete or pure quartz crystal

[feral geyser]

Pure quartz

[somber monolith]

Prob pure crystal it’s free crystal

[flint grail]

@fervent sand

[marble gulch]

Kk ty

[somber monolith]

U do have refinery?

If not you can’t use it

[glacial venture]

I’m trying to get some inspiration for my own builds, so I was wondering how I can find other players’ saves to tour around. I’m new to the community and just want to see what people are creating in real time.

[ornate saffron]

is there a way to see the bot commands? like the search function and such

[random garnet]

I’m confused I’ve seen some people who use the street lights along their roads but I never see power lines connected to the street lights spanning across the roads yet they are on

[ornate saffron]

they clip the line into the foundation underneath

using the wall ports

wort things

[feral geyser]

#design-and-architecture

[glacial venture]

Thank you. all i have to do is get a code from them and insert in the load tab in the main menu, right? my 1st time doing this.

[feral geyser]

well, this wasn't so much for you to find people's saves to tour, as much as to find screenshots of builds

[random garnet]

What’s wrong with wall ports?

I like them let’s me make my wires less messy

[feral geyser]

i don't think they were suggesting there was a problem with them

[ornate saffron]

nothing i just cant remember the name lol

[random garnet]

ah I thought you miss spelt and was saying worst things

[ornate saffron]

for the lights the align the wall pot under the light so the wire goes through the pole and disapperas

[glacial venture]

is there a directory people share their saves on that you know of?

[feral geyser]

not in this server, it's against the rules

[glacial venture]

got it, didnt know

thank you

[ornate saffron]

you can ask ppl directly to share there saves but do so at your own risk

[quick hound]

Is there mk2 pipes? Or even mk3?

[mortal ginkgo]

mk2

[ornate saffron]

mk2 yes mk 3 no

[quick hound]

ah

I’m struggling at making stuff for phase 2, sigh.. it can’t make enough stuff fast enough

And I don’t know how to improve it

[white dawn]

This may seem counterintuitive, but I highly recommend having totally-isolated factories for each resource, from ore -> product

[marble gulch]

Steel rotor or molded steel pipe or rescan

[white dawn]

Like you have a Reinforced Iron Plates factory which makes RIPs for yourself. That factory does nothing but supply your own personal stash

If some other factory needs more RIPs, you just make more right inside the new factory

[glacial venture]

I’m not trying to come across as clueless, but could you share some potential downsides of doing that?

[quick hound]

brain hurt

[white dawn]

The only "how much do I produce?" type question becomes "how quickly do I want my own storage to fill up?"

[marble gulch]

What do y'all think

[exotic needle]

What alumininium things will I need late game

[white dawn]

And then that new factory will require however many RIPs it needs (as an example), but you're building it fresh rather than trying to expand existing lines or whatever

[ornate saffron]

malware, Viruses, enbeded code that can be used to gather data on your computer then retreived later like Banking information

[white dawn]

It sounds like more work, but in the end you're building the same amount of factory anyway

But if your factories are totally isolated from each other, you've got the great benefit of never being shackled by any of your past decisions

[quick hound]

I wish I had someone who could help me build this haha…

Finding ps5 players to help is hard

[ornate saffron]

I look at this community as a group of ppl willing to teach me how to play. But are against telling me what to do

[glacial venture]

gotcha lol thank you

[quick hound]

I’ve made multiple looking for group posts and nothing

[plain gate]

there are a lot of "figureitoutyourself" ists here

[ornate saffron]

DM me

[white dawn]

Honestly it's difficult to find players even on PC. The vast majority of folks in here either already have friend groups for multiplayer or just want to stay singleplayer

[quick hound]

I just want someone to show me what to do and also help me learn how to optimize

[quick hound]

Dm’d

[white dawn]

Honestly, both of those come with practice. There's basically no "pressure" in the game; you can play it "correctly" in hundreds of different ways

I advise just taking your time and enjoy the process of figuring stuff out

[tall lantern]

following any one person also means you only learn that person's methods and priorities

[mortal ginkgo]

What if someone is literally worshipping screws?

[tall lantern]

then that's on them

[mortal ginkgo]

what if someone is only using impure limestones? (correct gameplay btw)

[tall lantern]

and if you're following that person, hope you also like screws

[tall lantern]

then... hopefully you have enough thoughts to not just blindly copy whoever you learn from

[glacial venture]

what are some good early to mid game alternate recipes?

[plain gate]

ill club them over the head

[tall lantern]

good for what?

[somber monolith]

Is polymer resin - plastic better than making pure plastic?

[tall lantern]

remember "best" depends on what you're optimising for

[ornate saffron]

the nthey get...."Screwed"

[mortal ginkgo]

MADNESS

[plain gate]

recycled is the best

[tall lantern]

that said, Solid Steel Ingot is a good pick imo, a lil extra space and power for 50% more steel

[somber monolith]

But is polymer to plastic better than pure plastic?

[glacial venture]

true. im guessing for steel factory then

[random garnet]

How much bigger are the trucks compared to sugar cubes?

My main roads are like four wide so they surely are big enough for them but my truck stop stations are like one wide roads

[plain gate]

use the residual polymers

dont specifically make resin

[somber monolith]

It’s what satisfactory tools says is best but idk

I’m making computers

Using coke

[plain gate]

just follow what the calculator outputs unless it's egregiously stupid

as a rule of thumb uncheck sam recipes always lol

[tall lantern]

ehh, applying some thought is always worthwhile

[somber monolith]

Also how do I stop it from make a random byproduct that makes zero sense to my recipe

[tall lantern]

choose other recipes

[plain gate]

hence yeah, it does stupid stuff sometimes

[plain gate]

like the 0/min byproduct? its a bug just ignore it

[somber monolith]

Aight

[ember cedar]

What is the best electricity production option in Phase 3? The next thing I unlock is nuclear power, so that's out.

[somber monolith]

Thx

[tall lantern]

not even stupid, just maybe not the best for your situation

[plain gate]

jet fuel

[somber monolith]

Oil cause it’s the only thing

[somber monolith]

Jet fuel is same teir as nuclear

It needs a blender

[ember cedar]

I've got the blender

[plain gate]

wdym?

[somber monolith]

Then your phase 4 and can use nuclear

[reef basin]

~~I love how you call everything the wrong name 😄 ~~

[plain gate]

if you give it constraints it's bound to give a correct answer

[ember cedar]

Oh yeah sorry, but i didn't unlock the nuclear Milestone

[plain gate]

huh who

[reef basin]

the guy who calls it "jet fuel" 😄

[somber monolith]

Then get that soon it’s better than oil

[somber monolith]

I was copying what the guy above said so they understood clearer

Ik it’s rocket fuel

[tight mural]

Anyone have a replacement for the Infinite Splines mod since it was discontinued and doesnt work on 1.1?

[white dawn]

Both Rocket Fuel and Nuclear are extremely viable endgame power sources. You definitely don't need both

[somber monolith]

What that has nothing to do with what I said in that reply

[white dawn]

Uranium power is available a bit before the vanilla Rocket Fuel recipe, and IMO the Uranium line is quite simple/straightforward

[plain gate]

it's logistically more complicated no? theres a lot of imports you need

[white dawn]

But a lot of folks do love the simplicity of the Nitro Rocket Fuel alt recipe specifically (at the cost of some resource efficiency, and a lot of generator spam compared to nuclear)

Nah, Uranium nuclear is quite simple

[plain gate]

rocket only needs nitric

[white dawn]

It only starts getting more complicated if you go for Plutonium+

Sure, it's more complicated than RF, but it's still quite straightforward

And you get to build a tenth of the generators. :)

[somber monolith]

Anyone got some good mk1 blueprint constructor blueprints mine is to complicated and sucks

[plain gate]

you need around 10 imports or something for it lol

[white dawn]

I wasn't responding specifically to you. Conversation was about Phase 4 power in general

[pine patrol]

Can iodine infused filters protect from regular gas?

[rotund blaze]

is there an easy way to line up rail pillar blueprints at a distance

[white dawn]

Maybe, but it's all extremely basic stuff. If you've gotten the game to Phase 4 you've already built much more complicated stuff

[rotund blaze]

I dont want to nudge 100 times

[ornate saffron]

no you need both

[white dawn]

They do not, no

Fortunately both types of filters can be used at once

[pine patrol]

Man

[plain gate]

mm wait actually yeah the uranium line itself looks alright

[pine patrol]

that sucks 😔

[plain gate]

i was thinking of the u+pu line lmao mb

[somber monolith]

Don’t you need to do a bit of pu to get rid of waste

[plain gate]

u need to do quite a bit of it

the production for pu rods gives me ptsd to this day

[white dawn]

All good! When folks think "nuclear" they often include the Plutonium step since a lot of folks want wasteless. :)

[somber monolith]

Why don’t you want wasteless

[plain gate]

i remember doing the pressure cube line one time and brrrrr.... it was bad holy shit

[white dawn]

Yeah, if you want "clean" nuclear (or just a slower rate of waste accumulation) you do need Plutonium+

[random garnet]

If I make a second world with advanced game settings it won’t affect my other world and disable achievements for both will itn

[barren raft]

Hello , is there now way to increase basic host session max player capatity?

[somber monolith]

Your pc will explode

[plain gate]

saves are independent, no

[random garnet]

Good job I don’t have a pc so it won’t explode then

[white dawn]

I mean, for me it varies by playthrough. Bit having done a few waste-storage playthroughs, I can say that IMO waste storage is not the dire problem a lot of folks think it is

[somber monolith]

Your neighbors will then and blow up your house

[marble gulch]

Steel rotor, molded steel pipe or rescan?

[plain gate]

it's nice not having a giant red blob on the map though i must say

[somber monolith]

It’s a ticking time bomb no?

[reef basin]

see #math-and-meta message for alt recipe choices

[tall lantern]

you can make that time as long as you want

[white dawn]

The noticeable radiation effects just don't spread nearly as far as many fear. And it's easy to build yourself literally hundreds of hours of waste storage

[plain gate]

build enough containers and the bomb ticks on for quite a long time

[white dawn]

Like, it just really isn't a big deal, especially with blueprintable ISC cubes. :)

[plain gate]

yea just stuff it in the swamp or something :D no one likes the swamp

[ornate saffron]

my shrooms!!!

[somber monolith]

I wish radiation affected animals so I could destroy the environment

[white dawn]

(I mean, I get it: I often do wasteless as well (I'm even a fan of Ficsonium!). But fear of waste accumulation in this game is, IMO, generally overblown)

[marble gulch]

What do U do with heavy oil residue?

[reef basin]

open codex and see what can you do with it

[white dawn]

(Which is all just in service of arguing that Uranium-only Nuclear competes extremely well against even Nitro Rocket Fuel. :)

[clear aspen]

Hello @plain gate

[plain gate]

halloo

[clear aspen]

Hru

[plain gate]

make a hor smoothie and feed it to ur lizard doggo

[plain gate]

pretty good, js had lunch

wbu

[clear aspen]

What did u have?

[plain gate]

went to a pho place, yummy :3

[clear aspen]

I had school chicken nuggets

[white dawn]

The codex (hit o or n), as greeny mentioned, will show you all your options. But when you first unlock oil, the usual solution is to convert it to Petroleum Coke and then sink the coke

[reef basin]

or burn in coal gens for extra power

[white dawn]

A slightly more useful solution at Early Oil is to send the coke to some Coal Generators instead of sinking, which will actually make your early oil processing net power positive

Heh, more typing on mobile == ninja'd

[plain gate]

how was it, ive never actually had a school lunch before actually haha, doesn't exist much here

[clear aspen]

I’m good

[clear aspen]

It was good, still wanna go home

Also chat hear me out

We build a nuclear power plant that looks like a real nuclear power plant

[marble gulch]

Alright thank you

[white dawn]

(later on, with more alt recipes unlocked, Heavy Oil Residue forms the basis of the most oil-efficient production loops, and you'll possibly be specifically making as much as you can! At the start, though, it's more a nuisance)

[plain gate]

😭 😭 that would be really big ingame

[clear aspen]

I have an idea for the layout

[tight mural]

Hey! Anyone have a replacement for the Infinite Splines mod, since it was discontinued, and doesnt work on 1.1? would really appreciate it : )

[random garnet]

I wish the blue prints feature was something where I could transfer them over to a new Run and have say roads ready all designed out

[ivory condor]

I would recommend against using any similar mods, imo those mods simply have to many issues with the base game

aka infinite belts, etc dont actually work properly the game, never has and likely never will as the game doesnt exactly correctly support it and leads to all sorts of problem, unfortunate as it is, its safer to just use belts, etc within default sizes, given the problems beyond those sizes

[tight mural]

Fr? Never had any problems with Infinite Splines, and other mod like Infinite Zoop and Nudge if you mean these kind

[pine patrol]

WHY DO TRAIN TRACKS DELIVER POWER

😭

[ivory condor]

perhaps a better solution to the problems and a mod that could more properly support it might eventually be developed, but atm I just wouldnt touch it without alot of testing first, to see if there isnt any unforeseen issues

[random garnet]

Well the trains need power to run so ofcourse their tracks also transport the power they need to run.

What’s wrong with them transporting power though lol

[somber monolith]

At mk 4 belts does the belt not match the item speed?

[pine patrol]

i cant seperate grids with them is the issue

[tight mural]

Alr thanks anyway! Only reason i used the mod was because of my ugly train tracks XD

[ornate saffron]

please rephrase

[ivory condor]

Yeah I found all sorts of problems with them unfortunately, anything beyond the default sizes, belts in particula I found all sorts of problems beyond the default sizes, why i just stopped using any mods that tried to put in longer belts into the game, as in my experience they simply unfortunately never worked properly, leading to fun issues like corrupted belts, these are belts with all sorts of corrupted pieces of them, especially at the end, for example

[white dawn]

Power switch / Priority Power Switch

[somber monolith]

The belt is moving faster than the items are moving on it

[pine patrol]

Thats the issue they wont work with tracks

[somber monolith]

And it’s not a backing up issue it’s like that with gaps

[ivory condor]

and those mods still have limits to the belt sizes, so i suspect the issue of corrupted belt splines would only get worse if those mods supported even longer sizes

[ornate saffron]

oh yes, thats a thing

[white dawn]

I mean, the train network itself must be part of the same grid, of course

But anything hooked up via a train station can absolutely be separate

[somber monolith]

Literally unplayable I need a refund on my 200 hrs

[ornate saffron]

but they also put some optical illusions into the game... like mk6 belts look like they flow backwards

[dim cradle]

What do you mean?

If you don't connect power to the other station, it's effectively only connected to one grid.

[ivory condor]

Yeah all good, just sharing my experience experiences with them, which overall didnt exactly end up being that good

[somber monolith]

Is that true? That’s crazy if it is

[ornate saffron]

for sure it is

[dim cradle]

That might depend on your refresh rate lol

[tight mural]

Always hated it if i didnt have a clean incline for my tracks due to terrain making it hard/impossible

[white dawn]

I think the mk6 "backwards" thing is just framerate-based

[pine patrol]

im trying to setup priority switches that will trip if my main factory is about to trip preventing most breaker tripts

[ornate saffron]

true, mine is 240hz

[white dawn]

Like how propellers or wheels appear to go backwards at various stages while accelerating

[dim cradle]

Okay but like I said your train is only needs to be connected on one station's end iirc so... it can basically even be its own separate grid...

[pine patrol]

then it wont work right?

[dim cradle]

The tracks transport power and I think they do it all the way to the other station

[pine patrol]

ill try it

[ivory condor]

It does work fine, if you stay within the default belt sizes, beyond that it all goes to hell in a hand basket

[dim cradle]

But been a bit since I tried

[exotic needle]

@eternal raptor#screenshots message Using your tactics yet again for another unnecessary train station setup

[ivory condor]

But yes probably part of whats leading to the corrupted belt splines is like 'hello all my float rounding errors'🤣

[white dawn]

Yes, all stations hooked into the same rail network must share a single grid

[ornate saffron]

In my world i use Power pylons to transfer power through out the map. They are my main grid. when I move power off that grid it goes from a pylon to a power Priority switch port A

port B goes to the factory and all related infrustructor (think miners, water extractors and such) the fafctory has no other connection to the grid

[white dawn]

But you can isolate anything after the station with switches, if you want

[dim cradle]

Because I'm pretty sure I used my train track to actually provide the power to the oil pumps at the other area...

[white dawn]

(or not actually make use of the stations to transmit power, yeah)

I actually don't tend to use rail to transmit power 'cause I don't want things like adding a new intersection to impact power in remote areas

Though as your train network gets more robust, that's less likely

[ornate saffron]

If i use trains to move power I go from Station to Power Pylon and repeat my previous steps

Whichever power logistics you use its important to stay consistent. This way you can track down issues easier

[ivory condor]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIEnhYio0VQ we all build tiny belt slices at a time right

I remember when I used to play with game on a apu and could barely build anything before the game became unplayable

I used to have some really slow hardware that couldnt exactly handle this game, kind of funny by comparison now I have a laptop with a 13900hx that basically has no problem handling this game at all

[sullen pebble]

hello, I need help, I want to fill my water pipes before I turn on the coal plant, but when I connect the water generators the factory also starts even when it's not connected, what do I do?

[steel kelp]

make sure the coal gens dont have power/coal, and ur water extractors do

[sullen pebble]

thank you

[ivory condor]

let them have it so they experience the true slide show

but really the devs would have a true nightmare experience trying to optimize for that hardware, because it would be so hardware limited, far worse than console vs pcs...that it wouldnt be funny

probably honestly would be a bad idea, unless something really special is done for that version to somehow keep it playable

[sharp basin]

I REALLY need a Sink dedicated factory for coupons or I can’t feel FREE when I’m building. I have access to IA Limiters, good idea to do a factory that goes directly to the Sink?

[ornate saffron]

i did a monster setup at 3am saturdday morning to make 1600plastic and 1600 rubber

my normal bedtime is 9pm. i get up at 6am. I just couldnt go back to sleep. but i was really tired.

i spent hours trouble shooting why my machines wer enot workin. Rerunning pipes just incase the BP's broke. ... eventually i gave up and passed out on the couch. i woke at noon sunday to my cat yelling for food. Turned on the game to figure out....... i didnt power my oil extractor

[reef basin]

yes, if you want to make points, just make whatever best you can, and route it to sink

[sharp basin]

AH

[reef basin]

although personally I'd just sink overflow of anything that goes to storage/depot

[ivory condor]

of course

[sharp basin]

IA Limiters is a good idea?

[reef basin]

anything that you can make

[sharp basin]

Tier 4?

[steel kelp]

just do the most advanced thing u can make

[reef basin]

anything you can make

[hard ivy]

the most complex parts are worth the most points

[exotic needle]

The spiders jumping at me inflicts a primal fear

[sharp basin]

Yeah that’s the point IA Limiters seems to be the best rn (tier 4)

[steel kelp]

yeh so do it

[somber monolith]

Why is the top of the map so dead

[ornate saffron]

what do you mean dead?

[somber monolith]

Big flat feilds with a couple dead trees or bushes

[sharp basin]

Yeah and and I don’t know what to do with my caterium node so…. Quickwires leads to IA Limiters

[reef basin]

(it's AI, not IA)

[dim cradle]

Is setting up nuclear power with no hazmat suit unlocked

[ornate saffron]

do you mean the rocky desert to the north west of the map

[sharp basin]

Sorry, IA in french

[hard ivy]

it's a terrible idea

[dim cradle]

Nah I got this

[sharp basin]

Wdym?

[somber monolith]

No I mean the higher cliffs in the mid region

[sharp basin]

What’s bwd?

[ornate saffron]

the spire coast? i think thats one of the most beautiful areas of the game.

i play at ultra settings mind you

[dim cradle]

Lol I just sank 2 BWDs/min and got to 1k leaving the game open for a bit

Those BWDs are still being sunk

[somber monolith]

I play same settings but I’m talking bout the very tippity top of the cliffs

[dim cradle]

Uranium cells are only slightly radioactive right >_>

[sharp basin]

Man I’m tier 4 😂

[somber monolith]

It’s a big flat feild

[marble gulch]

May I ask what tab the gas mask is in the mam?

[sudden zephyr]

Just slam paleberries you’ll be fine!

[ornate saffron]

just a design choice. they merge into the dune desert on the other side. they act as a transition

[dim cradle]

I don't need no berries, I just need natural regen

Sleep it off

[exotic needle]

I hate the swamp its so scary oooohh ahhh

[somber monolith]

The dune desert is on other side of map the part I’m near is the north end spire coast with all the oil the cliffs above are barren

[dim cradle]

Yeah I hate the swamp too, bloody spider infestation

[marble gulch]

?

[exotic needle]

The mycelia tree

[ornate saffron]

My Shrooms!!!

[exotic needle]

The spiders give me goosebumps

[dim cradle]

Yeah the swamp does have a lotta shrooms

[somber monolith]

Do you know much about if it should be used later I might make this my main base this place is really cool

[leaden turret]

🏃‍♀️

[marble gulch]

Whoever said sulfur I hate you

[exotic needle]

lol

[dim cradle]

From what a friend told me, one of the game creators or the CEO or something had an actual pet tarantula and they recorded sound clips from it

That's why it's so damn creepy

[exotic needle]

start gathering those shrooms king

[ornate saffron]

as long as you are not covering a resource node you wont block your progression in any way

[marble gulch]

Is that where U get mycelia

[somber monolith]

I don’t think tarantulas make much noise I could be wrong

[exotic needle]

indeed, chainsaw some shroom looking things

[dim cradle]

I'm sure anything makes noise if you shove a camera on top of it

er mic I mean

[sharp basin]

I should

[exotic needle]

I went to gather hard drives in the swamp once and immediately noped out

Thats the only reason Im here rn

[sharp basin]

I had one but he’s gone, just vanished

[ornate saffron]

@ivory cedar MORE POWER!

[somber monolith]

Their whole deal is kinda being stealthy so I don’t think so unless they had a tiny mic with a fly recording

[dim cradle]

Look you don't need to actually go down into the swamp, that's for peasants. Just build a huge bridge about 100 meters up from it and throw bombs down on everything from up there

When it's all dead, collect

[exotic needle]

Thats gonna have to wait for until forever

[lucid temple]

How much power would be recommended to begin completing phase 4? I'm at 40 GW but soon will be capped by belt speed, so wondering if I should make another plant or get mk6 belts (means i finish phase 4)

[dim cradle]

I'm sure they love spiders enough to do whatever it took

[lucid temple]

I want to go nuclear soon but want Mk6 belts for it

[exotic needle]

Im legit building a train station next to the bauxite so I never have to go back into the swamp

[reef basin]

that heavily depends on how much production you're gonna build

[dim cradle]

I mean I just finished phase 5 with like 24-26 GW (oscillating because it's geo)

[reef basin]

don't think you need mk6 for nuclear

[ornate saffron]

as much as you need to run your machines. just stay below you max consuption. if you get within a GW build more

[dim cradle]

you don't need a lot.

[lucid temple]

Well I just build until I'm bored, so I'll go for it and just watch power closely then

[dim cradle]

And you definitely don't need mk6 for it lol, nothing for nuclear is particularly high yield

maybe SAM?

[lucid temple]

Ohh okay, I might need to start working on it then. I just finally switched from coal as main to fuel 😂 But I am using rocket fuel so

[exotic needle]

mk6 would go crazy on my refinery spam modular factories

[dim cradle]

Like I've been told you do kind of need a megaton of SAM to process the very end product

[ornate saffron]

make sure you have lots of storage for waste or a plan to use the waste bi-product

[dusty harbor]

quick question, when using https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production, and it says
"Iron Ingot
7.75x Smelter" (for example)
what does it mean by 7.75x Smelter?
or whatever multiplier times whatever machine

[lucid temple]

I was gonna turn it into plutonium fuel rods and sink those unless you cant lol

[ornate saffron]

it means 7 at 100% clock rate and the final at 75%

[ornate saffron]

you can

[dusty harbor]

thank you!

[lucid temple]

I might need to learn how to use drones or trains so I can build a nuclear power plant somewhere with alot of space and not have to belt items 4,000m away

[abstract heron]

Do I need to go outside 17,607 hrs on record

On satisfactory

[reef basin]

it means that total clock % should be 7.75 machines worth, or 775%. How you put it together is up to you

[ornate saffron]

you can also look at it like 775% and divide among as many machines as you like

[white dawn]

@dusty harbor (re: #screenshots message ) - first off, for questions which involve screenshots, #1038092680493801533 tends to be best (or #math-and-meta or #design-and-architecture if appropriate)

[abstract heron]

No in total and I am at 3,900 hrs in my current world

[white dawn]

But anyway, that's the HUB shuttle which gets sent off when you complete milestones

[lucid temple]

I actually did this for my fuel setup and have some machines underclocked. I'm not sure if anyone else underclocks, but I needed 12 blenders at 83.33%, just so its an even number😂

[dusty harbor]

any real purpose for it?

[white dawn]

It shouldn't always be docking whenever you load the game, unless you happen to always save your game right when it's on the way back (or on the way out)

[tight mural]

Just for funsies, what starting area do yall like the most? Tbh i hate them all

[white dawn]

Just some fun visuals/effects to enjoy while completing milestones, and some in-game justification for what happens to the materials you're spending

[ornate saffron]

are you excercising? being social? are you meeting you mental, physical, and finacial goals/requirements . If so you are fine

[leaden turret]

might be a workaround for if the game loads when it isn't there but should be, i.e. if (should_have_dropship && does_not_have_dropship) { dock_dropship(); }

[abstract heron]

I am fine I love to play

[reef basin]

I don't really care much about starting areas, since you only spend first few hours there before you expand anyway

[leaden turret]

• under desk pedal thing
• playing satisfactory on lunch breaks and after work

I mean not any more, but when I was 😅

[tight mural]

Damn i mostly chill in my starting area until phase 3-4 XD

[reef basin]

eh, the game gives you hints and slighty pushes to expand since you get coal

[ornate saffron]

I view that whole map as my sandbox. I just move my hub to where im going to spend the next large chunck of time

[reef basin]

maybe that's a reason you don't like your starting locations, you spend too much time there 🙂

[exotic needle]

I have to go down into the swamp to place my miners wish me luck

ffs the first thing I see when I touch the ground is a spider

[ornate saffron]

it could have been a cat

[leaden turret]

whole map is sandbox?

• cats pee/poop in sandboxes
• on entire map
• eats , presumably 🚽 also

seems legit

[tight mural]

true. Its just so comfortable to not move anything

[lucid temple]

Coal forced me to expand originally and I'm not happy about it

[exotic needle]

I honestly might change it because these things creep me out

[leaden turret]

better it being the first thing than the last thing

[lucid temple]

This is my first playthrough tho so I'm trying me best lol

[exotic needle]

I blew it up

[steel kelp]

Does anyone have any suggestions for where i should build my megabase

[leaden turret]

on the ground / in the air

take your pick.

[steel kelp]

I was thinkingof the waterfall by the grassyfields that has the void

[ornate saffron]

I dont mind spiders.... But id rather see cats and hear cats hiss and meow

[steel kelp]

This is not helpful

[leaden turret]

https://communityhighlights.satisfactory.video/meta-search/?q="grass fields crater" and architecture

[ornate saffron]

the big circular void?

[steel kelp]

No like the south west corner of the map

[fervent garden]

I got a plan tomorrow. Finish up tiers 2-4 and automate, "Versatile framework" and "Smart Plating" and also "Automated Wiring".

[primal obsidian]

should i make plutonium rods or are they not worth the effort

[ornate saffron]

you can sink them which gets rid of the waste

[steel kelp]

Cuz it needs to have space for all my train stations

[leaden turret]

https://communityhighlights.satisfactory.video/meta-search/?q="grass fields crater" and "train station"

[reef basin]

you don't have to move anything anyway. We have dimensional depots, build factory anywhere, ship thing to depot

[primal obsidian]

yeah i made non fissile and im wondering if i should just sink them or is it worth the effort to make the rods for more power

wait can you not sink non fissile

[ornate saffron]

you cannot sink non fissle

[primal obsidian]

dang it

can you sink plutonium pellet

[ornate saffron]

if you want to sink your next opputunity is plutto rods

[primal obsidian]

what

dang it so i have no choice

[ornate saffron]

you can make pellts and use them

for drones and such

but you cannot sink them

[primal obsidian]

im playing on a 24/7 server so storage isnt something i can do

[steel kelp]

The plutonium rods are rly good for drones so they have a use outside of points

[primal obsidian]

ok i guess i have to automate a bunch more stuff

[ornate saffron]

that or suffer

[steel kelp]

I’m so excited to build my nuclear plant

[ornate saffron]

and automation is joyful...

Suffer or Joy your choice

[leaden turret]

mars bar: caramel & chocolate
pluto rods: fun size stick candy?

[ornate saffron]

pocky

fun sized Pocky

normal ppl are boring

[somber monolith]

How do I get the polymer resin alt I’ve tried over 20 pods it can’t be a pod right?

[white dawn]

If it's not produced on the fourth planet from our sun, it's just sparkling chocolate?

[somber monolith]

I will send myself to space If it is

[ornate saffron]

when you research a recipe dont choose a option just let it sit in your harddrive inventory. this removes those recipies from the pool until you choose one

[somber monolith]

I am

I’ve still not found it

Ima die it was one of those ones from earlier

[ornate saffron]

not my jam but you can save scum it. save then research. if you dont get what you want load and try again

[white dawn]

The other technique for being able to quickly acquire the recipe you want is to "keep up" with your HD exploration in general, of course

[ornate saffron]

you will get it eventually. there is more Harddrives in the game then alt recipies

[somber monolith]

I’ve had it this whole time😭😭

I hate this game

[white dawn]

If you're constantly at the state of having no more research, when you unlock new things you'll be sure to get their alts quite quickly. :)

[exotic needle]

found my alumininium slurry and pure ingot recipies first try because of this

[somber monolith]

I have been it was one of those recipes

I’m using it for computas

[ornate saffron]

it angers me the amount of machines needed to make 10 filters a minute lol

complete irrational anger

[somber monolith]

It’s quite small no?

[ornate saffron]

i specifically said this was irrational anger lol

[exotic needle]

No way that message was meant for me right

[ornate saffron]

i have nor rational reason or explanation

i feel that. i love me some ammo slooping

[exotic needle]

the design?

[ornate saffron]

tbf that does give me a chubby

[somber monolith]

I think it’s made so u can take the resin byproduct and some other kinda useless materials at that time to make smth useful

[exotic needle]

Thanks lol it took so much troubleshooting to get something decent

You should see some of my earlier builds you would bleed

[ornate saffron]

this is the way

[blazing herald]

@dusty harbor are you talking about the drop pod?

[exotic needle]

Ive spent more time building this train network than all my factories I believe

I think Ive done almost everything you can do wrong with a train

[ornate saffron]

I spent more time building my Crocodile Train station then any two other builds combined

[exotic needle]

lol

[lethal geyser]

I feel like starting a new game in the grassy fields and actually making a factory

[somber monolith]

What have you been making?

[lethal geyser]

The more mistakes you make the less you'll make

[ornate saffron]

just got there and build. Or make a new game no issues either way

[lethal geyser]

Just the construction parts

[exotic needle]

#screenshots message

[lethal geyser]

Not an actual building

[somber monolith]

So a factory?

[exotic needle]

I need to work out some supports after I get this alumininum factory built

[shrewd hatch]

satisfactory devs should add rust

[lethal geyser]

Nah just constructors and assemblers

[somber monolith]

Yes a factory the machines make a factory not the building

[exotic needle]

Im close to a spaghetti train build

[sterile blade]

Yes. But now they want to make a Satisfactory

[ornate saffron]

just spread them on the dusty ground like a animal

[exotic needle]

I vowed to not have conveyer busses and now I need trains for everything

[somber monolith]

A Satisfactory factory?

[lethal geyser]

Ohhhh ye, but i wanna build an actual building just don't know where to start

[lethal geyser]

Thats what I do

[lethal geyser]

A satisfactory, satisfactory factory

[ornate saffron]

me too, me too. Maybe thats why im popular...

[somber monolith]

But is satisfactory enough?

[lethal geyser]

Never

Its never enough it can always be more satisfactory

#screenshots message Just for reference

the nodes are too far for conveyers in my eyes

[glacial totem]

anyone that has played satisfactory on steam deck since console release, did the controller optimizations make it to pc? Did they make the game fun to play on steam deck?

[somber monolith]

Why does it look ginormous that one block looks bigger than my whole factory

[ornate saffron]

check tthe patch notes... I think they added more support for the deck

[exotic needle]

I stg train stations take up so much damn room

[somber monolith]

Look damn cool tho

[glacial totem]

sure thanks but also looking for input on whether the changes made it fun on steam deck

[exotic needle]

I have yet to work on a train station design so all my tracks look sexy but the startions are just a square concrete block lol

[somber monolith]

Is there a way to calculate train throughput I’ve never acctualy got to use one

[exotic needle]

There is but I do not use it I just hope and it has worked out 10% of the time so far so yay

[somber monolith]

Is it ingame or on a website?

[ornate saffron]

The first two floors of my final factory of this save will have two floors for trains.... still working it out

[low tartan]

stupid question: I have 4 x coal generators. I have 3 power poles. 2 poles have 2 generators each, and then the 3rd pole connects teh other 2 poles. This third pole is showing capacity of 300mw, shouldn't it be 600mw? What am I missing?

[exotic needle]

A website, not sure what it is though just heard of it

or math

[forest widget]

Is there a "sample current color" option for painting?

[exotic needle]

hell yeah

[sterile blade]

Check wether all generators are actually running

[somber monolith]

NEVER

[low tartan]

actually im confused

i got mixed up

[exotic needle]

My plan is to use this train network to connect to a large central storage which will be a megafactory for later more complex parts

[low tartan]

each gen only does 75

[white dawn]

Each coal gen provides 75MW; if you have 4 total, then 300MW is correct

[somber monolith]

Depots?

[low tartan]

yea, when you click E on a geneartor it says 300 but that's beacuse it is giving the output of the grid, not the generator

[exotic needle]

yeah thats the problem, I havent gained enough courage to farm more spheres yet

[mystic oriole]

you can do the math in satisfactory. It's quite easy to do.

[somber monolith]

If you can build a train line like that I think you can get some floaty spheres

[exotic needle]

But I want it to be automated to make the complex parts later using the parts from my large modular factories on the train line

[ornate saffron]

Im running a single direction two rail system twice. On ontop the other. The lower rail system is for simple and raw parts the top rail system is for complex and finished parts. Im hopping this will prevent bottle necks

[exotic needle]

nah I love waiting for my depot to fill with concrete so I can build more trains

[mystic oriole]

trains are the best

[ornate saffron]

i got 4 depots that get 250 concrete a minute.

The Concrete MUST FLOWW

[exotic needle]

the biggest thing I have learned from my experience with trains is to not use max throughput on your belts on unloading train stations because the docking will prevent the monifolds from ever filling up

god that was the worst to find out the hard way

[exotic needle]

I need more spheres 😩

you just reminded me I have to connect my quartz tot he train line

[sterile blade]

If you don't unload more than one belt per freight station, you can easily avoid having any gaps on the belts leaving your stations
Are you trying to unload 2 belts per freight or not using storages perhaps?

[pine patrol]

whats the point of petroleum coke if its more expensive longer to make/more complex AND less efficient

[exotic needle]

I originally set up my diluted fuel plant transporting packaged water to the plant and empty canisters from the plant. I was using 2 mk4 belts which were maxed by the 16 packagers and the docking sequence still tanked my production even with completely filled indust containers on each line

Its really a simple fix, just upgrading to mk5 belts but I didnt have them until now

so I just changed the train to transporting liquid water and put the packagers on site

because pipe spaghetti is still spaghetti

[mystic oriole]

it can be used in other resources to make more of it. Has to do with balancing

[ornate saffron]

just like Pocky and beer

[pine patrol]

my brain is about to explode trying to understand what this means 😭

[sterile blade]

So... 2 belts fed by one freight?

[mystic oriole]

alternate recepies

[exotic needle]

yes very bad

[pine patrol]

Ok

[exotic needle]

I didnt know the docking sequence stopped belts moving at the time so

[mystic oriole]

it's not the best, but it's universally ok

[ornate saffron]

live, learn and grow

[pine patrol]

follow up question. Is it possible to get every alt recipe from all the hard drives? As in being able to see all of them as an option

[leaden turret]

yes

[pine patrol]

YIPPE

time to go to pretty much every hard drive for 10 hours while the “use foundation” people vomit at my factory

I have most of the map unlocked im planning to put radio towers down i just havent unlocked them yet

[kind jewel]

Where is the best place to calculate for Nuclear Power? Like I know Input number but I can't figure out how much waste it is going to create to calculat the next step.

[pine patrol]

first i need to unlock the rifle. I have just be shooting rebar at the local wildlife and chucking explosives at them

[sullen gull]

Satisfactory Tools or you can use Satisfactory Modeler on Steam

[exotic needle]

the thing is since I was transporting between packager plants I needed like 4 containers full of empty canisters just to get it started, and then the empty canisters from the fuel packager plant were overloading the belts so I ended up having to bring a conveyer back to the water packager plant for overflow

[pine patrol]

its mainly just smokeless powder i need

[exotic needle]

just wasnt worth transporting like that if I still needed a belt

[ornate saffron]

gp fpr the exploding rebar then

[hard junco]

i just unlocked the radar tower, what do u use it for? because nodes can be found with the scanner and thats all what i see from the radar! and there is weak signals found in area thats cool but u cant see them on the map for example mercer spheres it says 12, do i still have to use the portable scanner and play cold and hot game till i find it lol

[ornate saffron]

you gotta play hot ands cold still but it tells you the remaining amount in a large area

[sterile blade]

Yeah, that "recipe" is missing from the codex (like all generators' "recipes"). It's 50 Waste per Uranium Fuel Rod, so eg: 0.2 UFR/min->10 Uranium Waste/mim

[sullen gull]

I tend to agree, but different strokes for different folks. There are some here who consistently bad-mouth modeler for no apparent reason.

[hard junco]

that doesnt help that much ig, will we have a better way to find them later?

[ornate saffron]

you can use SCIM

[sterile blade]

Some seem to have a hard time if there's no text (Modeler tends to prefer using icons over text)

[hard junco]

SCIM?

[sullen gull]

The planner there is well regarded as the "worst" of all the rest. Though I haven't evern had any issues personally.

[hard junco]

ahh the website

[ornate saffron]

Satisfactory-Calculater and interactive map. Is pinned in #math-and-meta

[hard junco]

right

[sullen gull]

Satisfactor-Calculator.com

[ornate saffron]

im talking about the interactive map part in this situation.

[hard junco]

ye i was using that before just though there is a cool way in the game lmao

[sterile blade]

Fluid loops is where it can fail (AFAIK, no other calculator has smililar "calculation issues")

[ornate saffron]

i just use scanner,radar and my poor memory

[dusty harbor]

should i dismantle my conveyor spaghetti that got me to phase 2 in preparation of whats ahead? i feel like i could optimize the space more. thoughts?

[sullen gull]

I have failed to see how modeler wasn't "easy" to understand. Modeler can be tricky with fluid loops, but once one figured it out, it's pretty good.

[ornate saffron]

leave the mess like a child and move to another area

[ornate saffron]

the map is HUGe

[sullen gull]

I do know that the "main thing" people don't seem to like is the "manual" aspect of it.

[dusty harbor]

but i have so many nodes here 😔

[ornate saffron]

personally i like seeing my progress from start to finish. I cant do that if i breakdown my starter factory

[exotic needle]

#screenshots message super scary curves for you @unborn gyro

[dusty harbor]

hmm. i just hate the way it looks since i havent had foundations until now.

well, i didnt unlock them until now

[low tartan]

asked this earlier but cant remember the answer. I have an option of either Biocoal or Wet Concrete alt recipe. Which one is better?

[versed mesa]

I mite invest in a new game to add in my library

[sullen gull]

Between those two, probably Wet Concrete. Though every recipe has it's niche.

[sterile blade]

🤷‍♂️
Follow the chain to try understanding some more, but that's about all I can gather on why it's "hard to understand/use"

[low tartan]

finally have my full factory running on coal. Such a relief not to have to constantly chase bio burners!!

[sterile blade]

The more towers you have, the more accurately you can locate individual items (though it's quite time consuming still 😅)

[white dawn]

To be clear, my own complaint re: that is only related to label-less graphs being (IMO) utterly impenetrable to someone who's not actually building the graph. Since static-image graph exports aren't Modeler's actual purpose, the oversight is understandable. But it's just a matter of information-conveyance to strangers for me. Its graphs are (again IMO) even far worse than s-c's for that purpose

[sullen gull]

What "graphs"?

[white dawn]

As an actual app I have no complaints, and I'm glad folks find it useful

[white dawn]

Screenshots like so: #math-and-meta message

[knotty knoll]

Looking at starting a new playthrough. What is in experimental right now that isnt in game? Havent played all year haha sorry

[white dawn]

Just a neverending mess of tiny icons which require interpretation at every step, and gods help you if you don't recognize a recipe even if you recognize its inputs/outputs

[sullen gull]

And, as far as being "textless" just avout everything on it has a hover tool-tip. Additionally, it also offers every statistic one could want. Though, admittedilly, can be missed if one doesn't know you to open it.

[knotty knoll]

So just play normal? lol

[dim cradle]

Wait... nuclear reactors only use 0.2 fuel rods/min?

[white dawn]

(Which, again, isn't Modeler's goal, since folks using the app get mouseovers and can click on stuff. It's not a deficiency of Modeller itself, really, just how its graphs are often used in here)

[sullen gull]

I mean, I guess I am still faling to see what's "wrong" with that layout... other than they aren't using the 2D line style 🤣

[dim cradle]

... I just set up production for 3/min, I didn't know it was that low...

[white dawn]

I just mean in comparison to graphs from other solvers like so: #math-and-meta message

[dim cradle]

Oh well still need to set up the plutonium portion and the rest of the line...

[knotty knoll]

Sorry i thought you were replying to my message a minute ago. Ignore me haha

[worthy ice]

Ok ok so ever since the latest update, I can no longer have my friend join my game locally, and vice-versa. It's probably NOT because of dedicated server stuffs since I host from my PC.

[white dawn]

All that info, spelled out perfectly. No ambiguity, no having to interpret icons, etc

[dim cradle]

although don't think I'll even have enough energy to do that without the energy from the plant...

[white dawn]

Anyway, did not intend to go on a digression about it, just felt I should clarify. :D

[sullen gull]

Anywho, at the end of the day, I always suggest both when someone asks. Then let them decide which they prefer.

[white dawn]

Yeah, I just wish that the graphs that people posted from Modeller were, like, a lot better at information conveyance

[sterile blade]

It's ironic how that was the example I was gonna pull to show one of the common issues with SFT
Overlapping lines, requiring user intervention to untangle and make readable, only to revert to unreadable as soon as you change a comma in the plan or reload the page
In other words: if your plan is not easy to read, any effort into making it easy to read goes to waste almost immediately

[white dawn]

'cause as is I personally find the graph images nearly useless

[versed mesa]

People that have 1k hours in the game how many factories do yous have with all biomes all together?

1k plus

[dim cradle]

When you overclock nuclear reactors, do they burn a linear more amount while giving a linear increase in power or is it different? Idr lol

[versed mesa]

Why 0 lol

[white dawn]

My main issue, as always, is the lack of labeling. Which, again, is not really the fault of the app, because users of the app get mouseovers and clicking through and such. But like, hey, this line is for Coal. check. This recipe is Bolted Frame, check. I hate having to work so hard to interpret every single step of an isolated Modeller graph image to even know what it's doing

[dim cradle]

Ah nevermind, the wiki tells you

[white dawn]

Even a not-easy-to-read graph from any other solver out there has labels. It's not just sftools. :)

[dim cradle]

Looks to me like the best thing to do is just overclock 2 nuclear plants to 250% and then split 1/min rod evenly between them, then they each make 25 waste/min which I can split evenly into two halves of the plutonium rod recipe 🤔

[white dawn]

Here I am, still digressing. I'll shut up. :)

[hard stump]

Has it been reported much series S players are still having a bunch of game crashes?

[sullen gull]

It's setups like this is why I enjoy Modeler: #screenshots message No other layout/calculator allows for similar organization and layout imo.

[random garnet]

Quick question for the lights. I’m adding streetlights to my highways do they use up ANY power??? Like are they gonna siphon ANYTHING from my grid?? Even if it’s just 1mws

[sullen gull]

If you check the light in the Build menu, it states how much power they use.

[sterile blade]

Yeah, I get that. What I don't get is why it should be weird for an icon-based graph to be considered as valid as a text-based one. If one can read icons easily, Modeler has a lot more tools to make things easy to understand than SFT. If they don't, then it's definetly not a tool for them (as it doesn't offer text-based options). This ofc extends to images shared (assuming the user cares about making things readable to others ofc)

press the middle mouse button on the building and you'll create a copy of it

no i mean like, when i nudge a hologram into a specific place, can i place a build there and then continue nudging that hologram for the next placement?

it just unlocks the hologram when i place something

Ahh, no. But. you can use CTRL to snap it

If working with buildings.

[fickle geyser]

yeah i know but that doesnt really solve my problem
