1. thats not an opinion thats just being disrespectful
2. that language is against the rules
3. you can share your opinions, insults arent opinions

[little shale]

Once or twice but I’ll check it out thanks

[scenic mirage]

if you have to insult someone to share an opinion that shows a lot about your emotional intelligence

[fervent sand]

oh so we should just moderate people for having bad grammar? We should also moderate people for making jokes?

[livid geyser]

Barely into tier 5, and maybe unlocked three hard drive. I got another one, and I’ve seen compacted coal. Is it worth researching that or keep looking into hard drives?

[floral trellis]

the only use i got for compacted coal is tossing it into turbo fuel

[livid geyser]

So safe to avoid for now?

I’m nowhere even ready to try and get oil atm, been improving my factory and made a new one for steel just now, so my focus is on that.

[floral trellis]

[livid geyser]

Gotchu.

[feral geyser]

Compacted coal is good for a lot of things, just not for burning directly

i never got to turbo fuel or rocket fuel, i just unlocked nuclear and i think imma get that setup tomorrow

[scenic mirage]

did you purchase on steam or epic?

[feral geyser]

They said steam

[chrome hinge]

He dought the steam key on eneba. It can be any problem w that?

B*

[feral geyser]

The very first search result for Eneba says "DO NOT TRUST ANYTHING FROM ENEBA"

"They are scammers and this platform cannot be trusted. You risk losing your money."

So, I would say it is likely an issue with that, yes

[atomic vessel]

[feral geyser]

Use the power graph to see your production/consumption/capacity

[atomic vessel]

ok

[chrome hinge]

So anyone any idea w my problem w the version?

[atomic vessel]

sooo best way to keep produseing things is just change recipte <

[feral geyser]

Huh?

[scenic mirage]

did they give you a download for the game, or do you have it in your steam account?

[feral geyser]

No, you should make sure you have a lot of the most dense fuel feeding a big bunch of biomass burners, then upgrade to fully-automated coal power ASAP

[atomic vessel]

im on hut level 5

[charred sandal]

Man

[feral geyser]

Then yeah, make more biomass burners, craft your leaves and logs into biomass before burning it (more power dense), and then do "Field Research" milestone once you get to tier 1 so you can make solid biofuel (more dense still)

[chrome hinge]

My brother R1CK got the key like an hour ago and activated it on steam so he got it on steam

[scenic mirage]

and when you click manage downloads, what does it show?

[hard ivy]

how tf do you get an old version when you activate a key

[scenic mirage]

try going to your library, right click satisfactory, properties, updates, and on automatic updates set it to immediately download updates

[chrome hinge]

I have no clue ho did he do that with a steam key but its happend

[chrome hinge]

We tried 🥹

[hard ivy]

like I said earlier, uninstall and reinstall from the library again

there's no reason for that to install an old version

[scenic mirage]

^ try and send some screenshots of what steam shows in #off-topic-media

[feral geyser]

They said they tried that too

[chrome hinge]

[chrome hinge]

He got the steam cmd but what he should do in it?

[scenic mirage]

@chrome hinge

[hard ivy]

you need the depot id of the current version, probably available on steamdb, and use a command to download that depot, and then replace the game files with the downloaded ones

the commands should be available in any tutorial for downloading old versions of steam games. I have successfully used them for skyrim once

[sullen gull]

Curious, who here has been playing on Linux, successfully, with mods?

[sharp basin]

But it’s still early, that just started fixing problems. I guess.

[spice patio]

Steam Settings, Downloads, Clear Download Cache.
Then log back into Steam.
And run that game file verification again.

Also, any version from before owning the game would need to be deleted manually.
Uninstall, verification, etc. only deal with current version files.
Mixing old illegal copies and current Steam install over will just end up mess.

[chrome hinge]

[crisp trail]

My life has been completely consumed by satisfactory. As of today, I am the pinnacle of engineering, singularity of resources, spaghetti of conveyors, builder of builders. I exist, therefore the rest adjusts.

Or will it start just deleting shit eventually

[sullen gull]

No. It will pop another once one is full enough.

Don't know the total qty though

[bleak minnow]

[charred sandal]

Thanks.

Anyone know if theres a way to reverse filter with the dismantle gun?

[hard ivy]

foundations

[sullen gull]

Give yourself something to snap to. Like foundations or big frame pillars.

[bleak minnow]

but then I remove the foundations and they're floating ;-;

[tall lantern]

nudge the pipe stands down?

[bleak minnow]

"Surface uneven"

[feral geyser]

Select everything, then filter and deselect the stuff you don't wanna dismantle

[sullen gull]

As I said, can also use Big Frame Pillars: #screenshots message

[sullen gull]

Sometimes you can get around the surface uneven (for buildings, blue print designers, etc) by hitting H. Not with standard pipe supports though

[old bramble]

Okay I’m confused I need some help with my math here. I’m trying to automate Automated Wiring production to get past Phase 2. I have one pure node of coal I can get 240 coal per minute from. Two iron nodes of normal quality that I can also get 240 from in total. Yet…if I want to maximize my automatic wiring production I can only bring in each at a rate of 22.5 per minute?

Because I also have to produce Copper wiring. But that allows me to mine the full 120 ore to make Wiring. I’m confused why the most optimal rate for the coal and iron ore production is 22.5

May I send you a screen shot @hard ivy?

[hard ivy]

you can send in #1038092680493801533 or #math-and-meta

[fervent sand]

where are you getting 22.5 from????

[fervent sand]

or #screenshots

[hard ivy]

yeah, that's also my ❓

[old bramble]

The Satisfactory Tooks production planner. Says the maximum amount I should bring in from the iron ore and coal is 22.5 per minute.

But I’m trying figure out why it’s only 22.5 per minute.

[fervent sand]

probably because a different input is the bottleneck

[chrome hinge]

It worked thank u so much

[velvet idol]

because you're limited by copper

[old bramble]

Okay because I can only mine 120 max right?

[fervent sand]

[old bramble]

Because it’s a normal node with MK2 Miner

[somber monolith]

Does anyone have a good low resource heavy modular frame recipe?

[hard ivy]

encased

[somber monolith]

I mean whole recipe not just for the frame itself

[hard ivy]

ask sftools then

[unique siren]

roughly how many computers should i be producing per minute?

[hard ivy]

because that really depends on the resources you want to use

[fervent sand]

what scale are you going for

[somber monolith]

It’s saying 900 iron for 10 frames which is crazy over

[unique siren]

"future proof" computer production, i need to have enough to allways have some readily available and so that i dont need to start making computers from scratch if and when i need them for recipies

[fervent sand]

what's your goal for this save? Just beat the game?

[bleak minnow]

wasn't there a way to measure distances?

[unique siren]

yeah kind of, tho i dont want to complete it with the bare minimum req

[somber monolith]

How far is the distance cause you can measure up to 40m using painted beams

[unique siren]

like im not gonna wait 100 hours for a phase to complete

is something like 50 computers per minute a good scale, or would that be too small?

[old bramble]

Yeah I sent you a screenshot. I just am assuming I am screwing something up somehow. Because the number that’s telling me is the optimal rate seems really low and I’m not sure if I messed up somewhere.

[fervent sand]

that would probably be fine

for reference, the goal for my current world is 1.2k sing cells /min, and I have to produce 152 computers /min

[hard ivy]

dunno why you DMed it to me when I told you to use a channel in this discord, but if you set a limit of 120 copper/min, then that's exactly how much it's using and it's limiting the AW output

[unique siren]

this is not accounting computers that you use for building?

[old bramble]

I just DM’ed because I saw you said send. My bad I apologize for dm’ing you.

[velvet idol]

the maximize function in Satisfactory Tools will tell you what the maximum amount of items you can make with the inputs you give it. It can't magically use all of the input resources if there's nothing to use them up

[old bramble]

So since my rate of copper is 120 per minute. It’s adjusting the rate the other materials should come in to keep some production at a standard rate.

[old bramble]

Yeah my maximum rate is five automated wiring per minute.

Can I use the smart splitter to set a certain amount of materials to split off or is that the programmable smart splitter?

[sullen gull]

Only difference between the smart and programmable spillters is that you can split multipled different items per output with a programmable.

[unique siren]

is caterium computer a good alt recipie?

[bitter pine]

How to make space elevator for lvl 7

[hard ivy]

https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production?share=RdLl5H0CmAqlY08wBCmd

when you look at 1/min, it's using 4.5 coal, 4.5 iron and 24 copper.

because you didn't use any alt recipes, that ratio is fixed. if you make 5/min, it's gonna use 5x more of everything - 22.5 coal, 22.5 iron and 120 copper. if the limit is 120 copper, 5 AW is the max, and that uses 22.5 coal and iron

[old bramble]

Okay so it’s nothing I did wrong. It’s just the maximum rate I can do right now since that’s all I can produce with the amount of copper available to me.

[crisp trail]

Does frame generation does not work with dx11

[old bramble]

So can I send a certain amount of resource one way and send the rest in the opposite direction with the smart splitter?

[sullen gull]

There is no way to spilt a specific amount of items, unless you use a balancer.

[old bramble]

Thank you for informing me that.

[sudden flint]

Ok

[somber monolith]

Is there anyway to stop my pipes from going up and down constantly

[sullen gull]

Make sure they stay full

[somber monolith]

They won’t

[cerulean warren]

Well, a balancer is basically just a small network of splitters, so if that specific amount is 50% of the line or 33% of the line, you're still good.

[sullen gull]

Try not to use a deadheaded manifold for the main feed line, make it into a loop

[sudden flint]

so I was going to make a rotor factory, but then my biomass setup wasn't enough, and I built it with a super weird vertical setup, so it would be hard to expand... so instead I went to go build a coal power setup, and immediately got sidetracked by the SAM vein nearby, and I want to get sloop production and manual uploading, but I'm out of steel pipes and have no clue how to get more... do I just tank the loss and build a coal plant and come back later?

I've mostly preserved my slugs until I can get sloopage to double them, but I can tank the loss if need be.

[old bramble]

Anyway thank you all so much for the help I highly appreciate it from you guys that gave me input and explained some stuff to the satisfactory noob I am.

[shrewd palm]

coal plant should be your #1 priority

[sullen gull]

!wikisearch cg

[raven axle]

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

[sudden flint]

Yeah, a fluid loop is VERY important because throughput exists for pipes as well as belts, but fluid sorta equalizes, so the loop lets you actually feed everything right

[sullen gull]

Following the "common" setups can make putting up a coal plant rather easy

[sudden flint]

Yeah. I'm in the habit of underclocking my water and building an extra one because the one-time extra resources for the water generator is worth it for that little extra bit of power it frees up for the grid

[sullen gull]

The main issue is what happens with dead headed manifolds, in the way of "pressure" and how flow is affected when one segment isn't completely full.

[sudden flint]

I only half understand pipes, lol. Never even beaten phase 2 yet

[sullen gull]

Mind headlift, and evenly distribute the feeds evenly across that manifold. I.e., start by feeding at the ends first, then spilt evenly for each additional "feed line", and you shouldn't have many issues.

[somber monolith]

Anyone know why this isn’t working? #screenshots message

[sullen gull]

Recylcing setups can get tricky, but they are possible.

[sullen gull]

Let me guess, the ones at the ends aren't getting enough?

[somber monolith]

Yep

[hard ivy]

I'd remove the bottom loop pipe

[somber monolith]

I made it a loop I thought that should fix it

[sudden flint]

it looks like you built a vertical loop? the bottom one isn't feeding anything

[sullen gull]

Feed on the bottom, loop on top

[sudden flint]

yes thank you!

[somber monolith]

It wasn’t working before

[somber monolith]

Alr

That’s going to be annoying to make

[sullen gull]

Try that. Also, what're you burning?

[somber monolith]

Reg fuel

[sullen gull]

Regular fuel, turbo? rocket?

Are the gens overclocked?

[somber monolith]

No reg gens

I don’t wanna spend shards on em cause they’re cheap

[sullen gull]

So, if my maths are right, 400m3 required per line?

[somber monolith]

600 for 2 400 for the short line

[sullen gull]

Ahh. Also, make the lines going to the gens mk1

[somber monolith]

Why?

[sudden flint]

yeah. Think about it like a liquid would. "ooh! Space where gravity can take me naturally! YOINK!"
and then they never go back up because there's no reason to. wheras if the bottom pipes feed, then only the overflow ends up in the top pipe :)

[sullen gull]

Because the gen only takes 20m3 a minute. There is no need for 600m3/min flow to the gen itself. Just the main feed lines.

[somber monolith]

But it what would it change it’s still only taking 20?

[distant pilot]

Ficsit are cowards who don’t want me overclocking a fuel generator to 3000%

[sullen gull]

I personally can't say as I've always "plumbed accordingly" if that makes sense

[abstract heron]

Rough guess i can make 11100 concrete from 92.5 refeinrys or 93 refeinrys

yay me

[sullen gull]

"Technically" I would assume not .

[sullen gull]

Make a post in #1038092680493801533 and show some shots from the production side of things

[sudden flint]

Note to self: vertical manifolds to save space are never going to be worth it and will never look good

[sullen gull]

Making the manifold under the floor can make for some clean factories.

Worth going for? I’ve not made the item so no idea if this is better than the recipe itself

[hard ivy]

disclaimer: doesn't work well with pipes

[sullen gull]

True

[sudden flint]

I mean manifolds built onto conveyor lifts. Think like X amount of machines stacked on top of each other each being fed by a splitter built onto the lift

[sullen gull]

I always do the manifold for pipes above the floor, yet still have the main feeds feeding from underneath.

[sudden flint]

Aren't floor and wall pipe outlets buggy?

[frail sleet]

no

[sullen gull]

Not since shortly after 1.0 release.

[sudden flint]

ah.

glad to see coffee stain be functional as a company and game production studio :D

unlike 90% of the AAA market these days

is Coffee stain indie or AA? Who knows?

[sullen gull]

Like so for fluid manifold (the "gold" pipes are 120m3 each coming through the floor) : #screenshots message

[somber monolith]

Is this what you guys meant? #screenshots message

Just the bottom row btw

[sudden flint]

Yes!

[somber monolith]

Others will be done later

[sudden flint]

because now the majority of the "flow" will go downwards to be used, and any overflow will travel along the top to get the machines on the far end!

[somber monolith]

Will that work on longer rows?

I’ve got a row 5 longer will it still work there

[sudden flint]

If you have enough being put into the pipes in the first place, I'm about 80% sure, yeah

[somber monolith]

I’ll give it a go on one of the rows and let it sit for a sec

[sudden flint]

[sturdy mural]

guys there aren't any problems with rounding right?

[quick barn]

I do it all underneath and would kill for a pipe ceiling anchor. FML

[sullen gull]

It's the Pipe Wall adapter.

Also works on celiings.

[somber monolith]

I think rounding up might be as you’ll be trying to make more than you are but I think rounding down is fine

[sudden flint]

no clue. I think it rounds to the nearest hundredth, and rounding very slightly downward will work for you

[sturdy mural]

like if i make and consume 16.667 of item will it have any issues

[sullen gull]

I haven't in the past.

[sudden flint]

16.667% or 16.667 p/m?

[sturdy mural]

item/m

[quick barn]

Automatically? Or do I need to place them first?

[sturdy mural]

auto

[somber monolith]

I haven’t had issues doing that exact number before

[sullen gull]

It should work with both

[sudden flint]

round to ever so slightly more, expect to produce ever so slightly less

[quick barn]

I'm about to boot up and figure out how I can be do dumb. Plz hold

[sturdy mural]

both work

[sullen gull]

Doing it either way. However, be known that sometimes, pulling straight and then doing a 90, the pipe adater sometimes it's "straight", so the next pull is wonky

[sturdy mural]

also it works both with starting the pipe on the ceiling or finishing it on it

Switch from Fullscreen to Windowed. 😉

[dim beacon]

bold?? its is designed by CS, so how can it not be? also just use it to lay tracks at correct gradiants, dont build factories with it

[sudden flint]

also! Does anyone else plan production to accept one node's output perfectly, or do you guys make clean numbers of parts per minute?

[sullen gull]

SCIM is not made by CSS

[lost oasis]

how do i get my things back when my death crate is on mars?

[sudden flint]

at least modular frames are cleanly 5/minute for 120 ore per minute

[sullen gull]

I just clock machines accordingly. If a plan says I need 13.4 machines, I make 14 and adjust the clock rate to "spread the love" amoungts all of them. Instead of most only over/under clocking one machine.

[hollow hazel]

1. Load a previous auto save
2. SCIM it

[sullen gull]

You can use SCIM to move the crate.

w

[sullen gull]

Usually I overclock everything. So, typically I am just spreading the "overclock"

So, instead of them all being at 250 per say, they may be at 235.453 or something .

But, most of the time I just let Modeler do the maths for me.

[sudden flint]

I'm in the buisness of underclocking as a rule, unless it's a miner, for example.
you just divide the machine numbers needed by the machine numbers had?

[charred sandal]

^ Thats the most efficient way to do it imo.

A big positive for me is that I get to make every single factory the same size, and then I just underclock it according to my needs which actually saves power

[lost oasis]

thanks man you saved me a lot of time❤️

[charred sandal]

I need 2 constructors for this amount?

10 constructors @ 20%

[hard ivy]

eh, unless you build a lot of extra machines, the power savings are completely negligible

[quick barn]

Ya. Can they be "taller"? Does that distance work for manifolds?

[sudden flint]

I always just underclock the last machine on the manifold because it naturally receives the least amount anyway....

[hard ivy]

I don't bother with precise clocking. everything is at 100% or at 250 after automating shards

[sullen gull]

I use wall mounts and nudge to make "stacked" lines.

[sudden flint]

is it more efficient power-wise to underclock several things slightly than one machine majoratively?

[hard ivy]

equal clock speed on everything uses marginally less power

[sudden flint]

Marginally less power is what I need!

[sullen gull]

Personally I never care about "power" as I always just go huge with power plants. Doing 180GW, 250GW, etc.

[dim beacon]

thanks for correcting me , legally blonde at times 🤣

[charred sandal]

2 constructors is 8 MW
10 at 20% is 5.

Its almost half fam. it scales down pretty well.

Like I said, the main thing for me is that I do tileable factories and I can just make every section the exact same size + then I can just scale it up later if I need to.

But the power saving is a non-negligible bonus :3

[wheat musk]

Quick question what u guys think about 15 nuclear plants comeing out to about 93k power ?

[hard ivy]

less than 40% savings for 5x the machies. totally worth the effort.

also, I literally said "unless you build a lot of extra machines". 5x is definitely "a lot of extra machines"

[wheat musk]

Viable or no

[sullen gull]

Sure, why not?

Hey uhh.. I tamed a lizard doggo and watched it run into a solid wall and clip through the floor.. did.. did I just accidentially kill my new doggo?

In Vanilla, you can use foundations, rotated by 5 degrees, or beams, to align blueprints

Otheriwse, can use Infinite Nudge mod

I killed the first one on purpose and then.. AAAAH

Very nice ok.

Even if I can't extend that mount down, I can fake it with the nudge. I think once the pipes meet the floor holes I don't care if the supports stay in place.

[sturdy mural]

it only works by 45 :(

[shut grove]

is there a mod that takes the guess work out of figuring out how much of something is in the dimensional depot?

[sturdy mural]

personal depot?

[sullen gull]

Hit H and use CTRL+mousewheel

[sturdy mural]

like unlock

wait no thats the upload

[sullen gull]

The DD only holds and few stacks of each item when fully upgraded.

[sturdy mural]

it takes 1 stack
upgradable to 2/3/4/5

[sullen gull]

You can see how much is in by looking in it via the TAB menu

[lunar plank]

You mean the inventory

[sturdy mural]

yes

[quick barn]

They need that in the controller controls. And the zipline lock on

[sturdy mural]

if you can't see it then press the arrow near the Inventory text on top

[sullen gull]

If you have personal DD upload unlocked.

[shut grove]

im thinking like a UI mod.. hover over an item in your inventory and it tells you how much is also in the depot.. then you can decide if you want to upload it

[somber monolith]

Should it be working now I installed a loop? The middle gens aren’t getting much fuel

Not that I am aware. My "rule" is that if I can't put it back into the DD, I just sink it.

[sudden flint]

Jail! Jail for brother for 1000 years!

Which ones should I put on standby the beginning ones the last ones?

[sullen gull]

first and last 5 of each row shuld be fine.

[hard ivy]

nah, always keep your production above max consumption and no power storage necessary

[sudden flint]

Oil is great!

[quick hound]

It’s yummy too

[fervent sand]

guys quick question (first time player so dont crucify me) AM settin up a hypertube canon hub. Ive got multiple inputs right next to one another. When i enter first tube there isnt an issue. Problem arises when i try to use second hypertube,. It just shoots me out the first exit even though they are clearly separated is this a know bug or am i just stupid?

[somber monolith]

Burn it or package it and turn it to packaged fuel for jetpack or just don’t make it atall untill then

[serene pumice]

would post picture but cant in this chat

[sullen gull]

#screenshots isn't "reallly" meant for questions and help though fyi.

[livid geyser]

Okay. Not sure about packaging yet, as it’s just going into fluid buffer for now.

[somber monolith]

You should turn the oil your using for fuel into something else it’s useless until you can burn it or package it

[south sinew]

but that is exactly what it is very commonly used for due to the screenshot restrictions in here

[livid geyser]

It’s only building fuel because I’m trying to get 200 residual rubber, so need the resin

It didn’t work in my car

[sullen gull]

Liquid Bio Fuel and Ionized are the two best for Jetpack Fuel

[sudden flint]

when you're so addicted to hand crafting that you've memorized how many stacks of one product and how many stacks of another make how many final items:

[somber monolith]

Fuh naw bio fuel

Who wants manual fuel

[sturdy mural]

It is the longest burning compared to all others. Until Ionized that is.

[somber monolith]

I ain’t no manual worker that’s why I have machines

[quick hound]

Okay! DMs!

[sullen gull]

You sloop two machines for wood/leaves, and one for biomass, and then the last for LBF, fill a standard, or industrial container from 2 minutes of gathering or cutting down shit with the chainsaw

And you're set for a very long time.

[somber monolith]

Why would you use sloops for bio

[cinder compass]

Are batteries any good, should I make them and if yes how many for a medium scale world

[chilly tide]

all of them

[somber monolith]

And bio is worse than rocket

And you can automate that easily

[cinder compass]

should I use up the entire normal sulfur node nearby

[hollow hazel]

You just keep producing and feed them drones by all means necessary. 😉

[sullen gull]

For the output bonus. Typically a "temp" setup until I can get Ionized going... Or, at the very least have a good influx of coupons and then just buy ionized from the shop 😏

[chilly tide]

For what? battery's?

[sullen gull]

No, not really. Rocket still burns WAY faster than liquid Bio. It's "alright", but not great.

[cinder compass]

yeah that would be like 120 batteries

[somber monolith]

It’s better search it up

[chilly tide]

yea why not?

[sullen gull]

Dude, I am already aware, it's only better in "speed"

It still has a higher burn rate.

[faint jacinth]

no

[chilly tide]

yes

[faint jacinth]

No

[somber monolith]

You place 2 supports close to each other in a line then place a entrance on one and connect them then repeat it and at the end of your line place a tube aimed up

[sullen gull]

There is not right or wrong answer to that. The game is more meant of one to spread out across the map. Ideally, pick a spot with ample space and go hearty.

Not from an initial splitter. You can attach splitters/mergers directly to a lift though.

20 GW should be enough for the entire phase 4 right

gonna be pushing it really close

[sullen gull]

Depends on the amounts you want to build.

[shrewd palm]

although in phase 4 you can unlock rocket fuel and nuclear which will set you up for power

[verbal wren]

we will prob throw in nuclear power once we progress enough of stage 4

that should gib us more than enough power

[sullen gull]

And, you'll start to hurt once using particle accelerators and later game machines.

[faint jacinth]

What blue prints should I have built / made

and we can always throw in a somersloop power amplifier to get some temporary power

[verbal wren]

Sloops are much more limited tho

[quick hound]

Yea I figured. Its only really good for making sure I have unlimited building supplies wherever I go and you only need so many things. Hell, once you get steel beams, reinforced plates aren’t needed anymore for most things

[hollow hazel]

Double output of machines... And some MAM research.

[verbal wren]

Double your output without costing you more input

[digital idol]

Somersloops multiply your output at the cost of power consumtion

[eager pilot]

Fair, I’m trying to decide where

[verbal wren]

And also u can use them for percentage boosting it power output too

[sterile blade]

Interestingly, sloop-wise that's only "worth" doing if one has more than ~10 refineries or ~5 manufacturers/blenders making Fuel for them
Eg: 10 refineries take 20 Sloops to double the Fuel output (thus power) output; using half the Sloops one can get less than half the power increase

hey if i have 3 parts in one belt and i run that belt into three different storages i can sort them using smart splitters right? but my question is if i set one output to be one part and the other output as overflow will the two remaining parts move to that output (overflow) i think not and i have to use programmable splitters but m not sure

items go to overflow if they cannot go to any other non-overflow output

[hard junco]

ah so they can move through that output

so using normal smart splitters is enough

[sudden flint]

so, so. I think I know what to do.

step one, make a 120/ minute coal power plant

step two, automate rotors,

[hard junco]

hey i always forget this, if i am making more than i need i can use a splitter and use the rest for storage and then sink the overflow correct? i am making 75 silica and need only 50 i used a splitter to take the rest to storage my production wont stop like this?!

[sudden flint]

step three, expand to a 360/ minute coal power plant grid

[blissful agate]

You already had to automate rotors for smart plating what happened (don't say it)

[zenith pecan]

If I short on concrete now then I really done screwed up, wet concrete facility feeding twelve uploaders finally doing its job! 🤣

[sudden flint]

smart splitters required I think but yes

[sudden flint]

My guy, nobody fully automates their smart plating in tier 1

[hard junco]

i used smart splitters to take the overflow to a sink yes

[blissful agate]

[zenith pecan]

Not entirely true, I did, primarily because I knew I would need a hell of a lot of smart plating down the line.

[sharp cairn]

i always get stuck at tier 5 smh. manufacturers are hard for me for some reason

[uneven edge]

Should I be automating everything ?

[sharp cairn]

i'm not sure. i think caterium sulfur and quartz are pretty optional at first

i have like 500 hours in the game and idk what i'm doing

[zenith pecan]

Why not, just keep building until the game explodes each automation is one small puzzle in itself, the primary goal is to pave over the world (or try to before the cpu slags)

[grim carbon]

are there any benefits to having an Epic account for this game/

?

[zenith fractal]

pretty much

[sharp cairn]

i was wondering this too

[sudden flint]

yeah, doesn't have to be perfect, just build a few machines here and there for whatever you ned

[zenith pecan]

I do wonder if my recent project was a bit too much but if nothing else, I won't run out of concrete again 😄

[uneven edge]

Ok

What can and cant be put into a sink

[blissful agate]

Automate everything yes

[zenith fractal]

the wiki knows

[ornate saffron]

did you come into that pipe issue mentioned earlier where the pipe indactor would show up?

I just ran A butt load of pipes and one refuse to show the indicator l;ol

[blissful agate]

Hand crafting becomes nonviable extremely quickly and leaves you with zero infrastructure to make new buildings

[ornate saffron]

My rul;e of thumb is nuclear cant unless its rods, Organiocs cant unless theyve bee processed

[hard ivy]

the wiki has a list

[zenith pecan]

The indicators are on the pipes I wanted them on, I didn't run into a problem.

[ornate saffron]

also are you secretly Totalxclipse? he just uploaaded a 10k concrete vieo lol.

[zenith pecan]

Nope, I don't use creative mode or mods 🙂

[uneven edge]

Ok Ty

[fervent sand]

everything but organics

and even organics should be in machined so you can sloop them

[sharp cairn]

the only mod i use is climbing the corporate ladder

[ornate saffron]

lol im just teasing im sure you arre better then him

[zenith pecan]

Not better, I couldn't judge that in a month of sundays, I just have a differing approach.

[grim carbon]

is it possible to automate biomass?

[zenith pecan]

I feel like I would be cheating myself out of a challenge with creative mode.

[zenith pecan]

Not fully, you still have to harvest the biomass by chainsawing trees, gathering grass or bumping random fauna off.

[grim carbon]

i haven't got a chainsaw yet, close to getting it though

i can use animals as biomass?

[zenith pecan]

There are recipes to process wildlife into protein which can then be converted.

[grim carbon]

sounds revolting, but ok

[ornate saffron]

Man pipes are Bitchy. I keep having to rebuild sigments that are not working properly

[last viper]

guys i am trying to pump oil straight up to a way higher spot. but the pumps arent pumping. the pipe says its full but when i check the pipes on the upper level they are empty

[zenith pecan]

It's also sustainable since wilflife respawns, the plants/trees, not so much.

[grim carbon]

i see

so the bushes i harvest for biomass do grow back at some point/

?

[zenith pecan]

Still impractical unless its dor personal vehicle or jestpack.

[ornate saffron]

When placing pumps you are shown a ideal location Hologram after the first. You want to place the pump just before that

[grim carbon]

i don't know how to automate anything just yet

[jovial karma]

Is the satisfactory modeler app on steam allowed to use?

[sullen gull]

Allowed?

I'm going to say yes lol

[jovial karma]

As in, not countring as cheating

[sullen gull]

No, it's not "cheating"

It does nothing to the game itself for starters

[jovial karma]

Okay, thanks!

[uneven edge]

Is there anyway to paint the glass on a window

[sullen gull]

Not without mods

[zenith pecan]

If you're meaning like stained glass, no, unless modded.

[uneven edge]

Ok 👌

[stray field]

Can u unlock like stairs?

[sullen gull]

There are some stair foundations and catwalk stairs available in the Awesome shop

[stray field]

Thanks

[exotic needle]

Im having train signal troubles once again...

[ornate saffron]

ALWAYS SOMETHING EH

[exotic needle]

I dont understand 😩

[ornate saffron]

SIGNALS AT STATIONS?

[exotic needle]

they are there

[ornate saffron]

i mean is that where the problem is ?

[exotic needle]

idk man

[exotic nymph]

does anyone know how to use smart

[sullen gull]

@ornate saffron #screenshots message you try to build the pipe from the oppsite direction?

[exotic needle]

I have 3 stations on the line... 1 for copper one for coal and 1 for depot of both. The copper train is running fine but the coal train isnt going to the load station because of signals for some reason

[ornate saffron]

wana voice and see what we can make out?

[exotic needle]

sure gimme a sec

[jovial karma]

Is there any site that has some efficient starter layouts that i can learn? I dont mean for a whole factory but just efficient way to build stuff and use splitters or mergers in a good way

[exotic needle]

Voice where?

[sullen gull]

Wiki

[grim carbon]

i have a death crate i can't to, how do i get rid of it so it doesn't keep coming up on my compass?

[sullen gull]

Search splitters. mergers, manifolds, coal generators, etc. They all have some "common" layouts and information on thier pages

[jovial karma]

Okay cool

[sullen gull]

You can use SCIM to move it if on PC

[sullen gull]

The GG wilki btw. Stay away from the Fandom one

[grim carbon]

what is SCIM?

[sullen gull]

http://www.satisfactory-calculator.com

[green fiber]

the interactive map and calculator

it doubles as a save editor

[grim carbon]

never heard of it

[sullen gull]

Now you have 🙂

[grim carbon]

sounds like something off Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

[sullen gull]

Was just talking about that book with someone yesterday 😛

[exotic needle]

@ornate saffron I fixed it... train station was facing the wrong way

[ornate saffron]

thats what i like to hear

[exotic needle]

THE SIGNALS WERE PERFECT FOR THE RECORD

Im killing it out here

I really like this train line its pretty cool

[hard ivy]

Just do yourself a favour and don't use their production planner

[ornate saffron]

I wish io could say the same. My pipes keep breaking

[uneven edge]

Do the lights still work if there liek 20 walls above the floor ?

[spiral summit]

oh my god i just discovered sign layouts

[ornate saffron]

awesome.... click.....my ... profile

[sturdy mural]

why did you connect the whole internet to you profile

[exotic needle]

pipes are so awesome to deal with

[ornate saffron]

my floor holes keep breaking. they wont let me connect to them. So i gotta delet them then replace

[exotic needle]

Thats annoying...

I keep building trains instead of factories

I gotta work on this choo choo addiction

[sturdy mural]

i keep building ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** instead of factories
the joke is that im not building, 5h spent on cooling systems factory and only put a square foundation in the 10m of that

[ornate saffron]

I keep building.... floor holes

they aren;t even for GLORY

[exotic needle]

I need to build desings instead of factories

Got these sexy train lines just for them to connect to a flying concrete slab with a train station on top

I need aluminum alclad sheets to build my aluminum factory

[sleek kettle]

Quick Question, didn’t want to use the Questions & Help as its only a quick one.

If you kill enemies do they re-spawn? For example I’ve just killed some of the enemies by the crude oil - but need to go back to get some supplies before returning but don’t fancy having to kill them all again?

Thanks & hope ok asking here.

[ornate saffron]

lol

[ornate saffron]

enemies do respawn

[dense violet]

yes

they'll also despawn if you go too far

[ornate saffron]

that being said having powered machines near there spawn points prevents them from doing so

[exotic needle]

I have yet to have this experience

[sleek kettle]

Ah great! Don’t fancy killing them again 🤣

[sleek kettle]

Handy to know! Thank you

[sturdy mural]

worry not, soon you'll have an easy way to deal with that

[dense violet]

happens all the time if you just run away. Takes a little while though

[sturdy mural]

• powered machines like Beefalo said

[exotic needle]

There is still an irradiated hog next to my SAM automation thats been there for like 60 hours at least

[sleek kettle]

I got the rebar guns with the purple rebars but they was awful thought they’d work well but didn’t ha

[dense violet]

possibly just a spawn point for it nearby

there are often creature spawns directly on top of rare things

[sturdy mural]

purple rebar is good for close range, you should try using the blue one

[exotic needle]

Im assuming so considering its next to a crash site

[dense violet]

oh yeah, def a spawn point

[exotic needle]

yep

[dense violet]

with those they'll pop back to life as soon as you get into range

[exotic needle]

hate those things but not nearly as much as an irradiated spider

[sturdy mural]

put it in a glass cage and make a mini-zoo

[exotic needle]

thats literally a nightmare

[dense violet]

create a bunker to shoot from.

[sleek kettle]

Cool will give that a try on my next trip

[dense violet]

easy peasy

[exotic needle]

I prefer running for several minutes

[sturdy mural]

erm actually they are gas spiders ☝️ 🤓

[sturdy mural]

whoops wrong reply

[crimson lantern]

Hey stinkers

[sturdy mural]

greetings

[dense violet]

I mean if you need the spot it's easier if they're dead 😛

[sleek kettle]

Thanks for the advice gents! 👍🏻

[sturdy mural]

no problem m8

[crimson lantern]

Playing animal crossing

[exotic needle]

I no longer need the spot if theres a gassy spider there

[crimson lantern]

Spider?

Where?

Show me

Spiders are cool

[exotic needle]

Spiders are cool but these ones make my blood boil for some reason

[crimson lantern]

I want them as pets

Jason still hasn't given in to my demands

[sleek kettle]

It’s them flying bees I can’t stand 🐝 🐝 🐝 like Stevie wonder trying to hit them! 🤣

[dense violet]

build pens on their spawn points

[crimson lantern]

I gotta cuddle them tho 😭

[hard ivy]

Crouch and they won't spawn

[sleek kettle]

Pens out of what??

[ornate saffron]

use the boombox to kill them

[ornate saffron]

hit them with the BASS

[dense violet]

passive mode 😛

[exotic needle]

Didnt realize aluminum productionw as so cool

[crimson lantern]

Oooooh good idea

Spider snuggles here I come!!!!

[sleek kettle]

Cool didn’t know the boombox did that haven’t purchased it from the shop yet

[zenith pecan]

Try processing all the maps bauxite at once.

[exotic needle]

not yet king

[crimson lantern]

My brain hurts

Goodnight

[blissful agate]

I tried, did not end well

[ornate saffron]

almost done supplying my Copper ingot factory with water

6 more lines to run

[flint grail]

Bruh, my game crashed and now I'm stuck in a train

[ornate saffron]

esc-respawn suck though

[zenith pecan]

I have it all procssed in the dunes, on the coast.

[flint grail]

Can't press anything

[ornate saffron]

can you bring up the consol with ~

is fo the cmd for respawn is Suicide

[flint grail]

Apparently reluanching the game works, cause I couldn't do any keyboard inputs

[ornate saffron]

good to know

[grim carbon]

i just now learned my character can swim!'

[ornate saffron]

they are good at floating anyways lol

[grim carbon]

and there's something called Bacon Agaric

i think

[dull sonnet]

Yes

Give character 2 full chunks of health when you eat it

[quick hound]

I’m good at drowning

[exotic needle]

Youre making me feel like this factory is too simple.. hope it works

[zenith pecan]

This is the scale if you do decided to move all the bauxite #screenshots message , expect a long build and many coffees.

[exotic needle]

jesus

thats sexy though

[blissful agate]

#screenshots message This is what my ore belts ended up looking like

[grim carbon]

i just died again!

[zenith pecan]

Here's my power station in brief #satisfactory-experimental message

[grim carbon]

Out exploring, not looking where i was going, collecting all kinds of flora

[ornate saffron]

dats a sexy bus

[grim carbon]

now i've lost everything, again except for my chainsaw

[zenith pecan]

Mine aren't that different, they're just underground organised within my tunnel system, I'll get a clip of it when I get there.

[blissful agate]

I'm still trying to figure out if the technology still exists to stack them that dense after they fixed the conveyor support + ceiling mount stacking

[ornate saffron]

you can change the game mode to keep all inventory and still get achievments

[grim carbon]

not after i've already lost everything i gained before i died, right?

[ornate saffron]

makes me rock hard that video

[exotic needle]

You make factories that turn me on a lil

[grim carbon]

i'm glad you don't have to completely restart everything, like your milestones are still the same

[sterile blade]

Surely there's a mod that resets milestones on death...

[zenith pecan]

Here's a brief glimpse of the rabbit hole I call my logistics tunnels: #screenshots message

[exotic needle]

Welp I got my alumininium production started. Time to hate my life on tarkov

[sudden flint]

dammit I want to get good

but i hate anythong looking ugly and I extra hate letting anything go to waste

But building to clean building ratios results in unused ores!

[wicked nacelle]

not if you change clock speeds

[sudden flint]

WAIT.

SAY. THAT. AGAIN.

[wicked nacelle]

as much as it pains me to agree with greeny on anything -- if you put that constraint on yourself (which is fine but it's totally a problem of your own making) then just adjust clock speeds

[sudden flint]

greeny being hyperdelegate?

[zenith pecan]

In addition to my tunnels carrying vast amounts of stuff, here's how I handled junctions #screenshots message

[wicked nacelle]

I dunno but ... if you need your buildings to be at 100% utilization then just change their clock rates to match whatever it is you want them to do

personally I solved that problem with IDGAF

[placid stirrup]

Yeah what the heck does greeny even know about this game

[hard ivy]

Whatever people on this discord told him

[dense violet]

you have full control over 'ratios' in the game, as the most powerful logistical tool you have is to control the consumption and output of every machine

[hard ivy]

Yeah, I totally put 2 miners on nodes capable of producing 1200/min, clocked them to produce 960 and I'm actually only using 860 of that

[wicked nacelle]

I just let it make 1200 and let it either back up or sink it with a smart splitter -- so if I start using more later I don't have to remember that the miner is underclocked and that I could have more

[sterile blade]

The sink never wastes and accepts any and all ores (and more!)

[hard ivy]

I wasn't gonna spend 2 extra shards on ore that I'm not going to use. And sinking ore is completely pointless

[zenith pecan]

My sink is taking up thousands of reanimated sam, I gathered all the worlds ore, processed it and had no plan on what I was using it for (aside from one line making trigons)

[sterile blade]

Fattening up, for the day of the harvest

[sudden flint]

. . . . friend, I am equally apalled, impressed, and intrigued by this statement

[sturdy mural]

me when i realize that 1 iron ore per minute over a course of a million minutes gives me free million points:

[primal obsidian]

finally got rid of my nuclear waste

[sturdy mural]

now make more

[zenith pecan]

Right now I am kind of lost in my own tunnels, I'm trying to find my way back to the wet concrete facility 🤦‍♂️

[hard ivy]

I'm making 3 Mp/min just from overflow from all of my factories. Sinking ore is less of a drop in the bucket and more of a drop in the ocean

[sudden flint]

I'm just watching a guy make 20 of both RIP's and Rotors on Biomass power, and seeing that that alone takes 4 pure nodes with mark 2 belts....

I am severely inadequate

[dense violet]

that's probably a bit silly to do before you have automated power

[unkempt blade]

biomass power is the best power, you should take notes

[dense violet]

get onto coal power and better miners/belts

[sudden flint]

Biomass power is a dumb Idea for poo-poo heads

[unkempt blade]

biocoal?!?

[sterile blade]

I just like to keep the power grid as smooth as ADA's transitions between mocking you and flirting with ADA
||I hope you can appreciate that I also spelled "ADA" backwards there||

[hard ivy]

Doing all that on biomass and without steel alts just feels like a waste of time tbh

[rose pollen]

Is game crossplay?

[dense violet]

sure, you can sloop that bio hard

[unkempt blade]

if they're having fun it isn't a waste of time 😄

[sturdy mural]

||backwards?||

[sturdy mural]

no pc to console
Console to console is good
pc to pc is good
console to pc is bad

[sudden flint]

between consoles and between pc providers, but not between console and pc

[rose pollen]

Awe im console i just started out

Qell 50 hours ago started out

[sudden flint]

||the alien stuff that talks with ADA's distorted voice||

[rose pollen]

(Im slightly addicted)

[north hound]

where do i make smart plating at

[sudden flint]

Assemblers

[hard ivy]

Check codex

[north hound]

where dat

[sturdy mural]

||why Backwards tho||

[north hound]

oh shi

mb king

[exotic needle]

Turbomotors have an... interesting... production tree

[sudden flint]

||cuz the joke is that the name is a palindrome so it means nothing to spell it backwards||

[sudden flint]

Do you eat corn with that mouth?

I've never seen a duck swear like that before

[sturdy mural]

||oooh||
