yeah i fixed that, it's supposed to be unloading. I have the freight platforms but it only loaded the back one
is the other platform set to load
yup both are set to load
Is your train set to only depart when fully loaded?
yes or wait 600 seconds but for some reason it's not properly loading the middle train
Right so as I recently learned, no matter what setting you use, the "or wait" and "and wait" have the same functionality
If you have a timer set longer than 20ish seconds, it will always wait the full duration. In this case, 10mins, between departures
Power shards seem easy to automate a lot of when I map it out in satisfactory modeler is it easy in game?
But besides that, if it is set to only leave when fully loaded, it might also delay loading until the platform you're loading from has enough materials to load said full cart? Ive not made use of fully loadeds before, Ive always just had my trains run whatever is there
yeah i think youre right. im used to factorio where it will still load the train in the meantime but this seems to wait and does nothing as long as it cant fully fill the train cart
so you just do one load/unload? wait 20 seconds?
Correct
I originally had it set to "one load/unload or wait 120 seconds" because I used the train to get between locations as well as for freight. I assumed this would mean "If i can be loaded, load me and I will leave when loaded. If I cannot be loaded for some reason, I will wait 120 seconds and then leave"
In practice and through some testing over a few hours yesterday, I was able to determine that any time you set in that box must be reached before the train can leave, regardless of your settings. It uses and-gate logic, no matter what
Thanks!
Best of luck 🙏
good to know, i assumed the same thing... weird
Yeah Im not sure if the logic is bugged or if the game just presents the information in the wrong way
i got a very important question.
i found lizard doggo near iron and need a name for it
"iron department manager -blank-"
i need a name that maybe relates to iron
Technically #story-spoilers but yes
My assumption thus far has been that when whatever it is connects to us during our contact with the materials, we are forced to speak the words we hear, like a possession. They can also hear what we hear, and so ADA can just speak into our helmet like normal. Is that accurate? If not, don't correct me because spoilers, just a simple no plz ❤️
Does ??? Speak more clearly as time goes on
Does anyone know any good default color combinations for a dessert save game I watched a lot of Yt vids and I saw a lot of people used white i also asked ChatGPT for main color combinations and its suggestions looked so ugly I searched up a lot of Yt vids for default color combinations and couldn’t find any pls help
Did you post in the design channel like I suggested before?
Spoiler: ||not really but their words kinda start to make a little bit of sense after enough of them||
Im early into the game and I think it uses our brain as a form to communicate and they see ada as an artifact. No spoilers
How does one rotate a pipeline junction on the x and y axis so the inputs are facing up and down on pc.
twin i dont know if you do 😭
anyone know how to open the calculator on xbox?
ill name him Bolty
you put a pipe on the horizontal plane you want your juncctionm at then aim the junction at the location along the pipe then rotate. after you get your desired loaction and angle place and delete pipe
When you attach it to a pipe, you can roll the mousewheel to rotate it to a verticle position. Until you attach it to a pipe, it will rotate horizontally
Beef too fast, damn
there is no quick access by defualt you need to go through menus
how can i make this look better? #screenshots message
new keyboard. itching to use it so i can stop making typos lol
You said you like to kill doggos so write "I am a bad person" out of blood
Chat how do we feel about lynching and public executions? >.>
mnove this to #design-and-architecture ill try to think of some insperation for you
but im good?
@median geyser and @ornate saffron thank you both that did it
🙏
I was trying to rotate it both using logical means like page up and down and was trying to figure it out for like 15 minutes 🙂
No Problem, you pick up tricks over time. that one can be a pain so i like making a blueprint for quick placement
#screenshots message Im trying to think more cleanly with my belt lines. This is my first attempt, with a photo reference of what I was doing before. Any advice or tips on how to improve further and/or add interesting design?
ive seen alot of people color code stuff
what's your goal with clean.
I like it. Personally if I'm building on foundations ai like to use the straight mode. I use curved mode for conveyors traveling across raw undisturbed landscapes. That way the belts curve and form to the landscape
I like i like
i do love the offset angles
Simple, ideally straight, lines. 90 degree turns. Consistent belt heights (if two belts are travelling within 5m of each other, I want to snap them to foundation, or to equal height supports). I want something that is Satisfactory to look at when Im done.
With the titlecard pun complete, I am happy to make use of inefficient paths to adhere to the above. Belt design that is simple to look at and follow at the cost of efficiency is not only acceptable but preferred. I want anyone, even someone who's never played the game before, to be able to look at my belts and instantly understand "That item is going from A to B on X path. Idk why or what it is, but thats what this is doing"
It is a little crude but this is what I would try and do,
you get your point across
I’m currently making a factory to make copper goods. I plan to have it produce Wire, copper sheets and circuit boards. Is there anything else copper wise I could have it produce so I can pre plan it out
late game copper powder
generally the suggestion is to not plan ahead, build only what you need now
But then I’d have to tear down the copper factory and rebuild it?
no, you just build new factory
A new copper factory?
no, new factory for [final product you're doing]
Don't even tear it down. Just find a new node fr
Just make your old factory produce lower tier parts for storage purposes
My copper factory im building now I’m going to have produce copper sheets, wires and circuit boards so I guess any future copper stuff will be made at a second copper factory then
don't centralise like that. Make copper intermediates in factories that need them
I guarantee you will want to tear that down when you get the late game copper alts 🫠
or just keep it and use the new alts in new factories
these are suggestions
iron wire lets you avoid needing to belt/train copper for a lot of things, fwiw.
play however you like to play, centralize if you want
hey guys im thinking of making a train dominant base but i'm not too familiar with the trains in this game, any tips/tricks for me to not fuck myself up for the next 30 hours
Mmm, delicious circuit boards
Use a loop system if you're a true beginner, signals might be confusing otherwise
don't assume trains work the same as in X other game, Satisfactory trains are their own thing
no i'm familiar with singals thanks to factorio fortunately
Oh
Conveyor everything >:)
Ima just stick with my plan for having different factory’s for stuff then just having a train take it all to a storage Hub near my main factory
i love trains
I love conveying everything sm twin
thats a solid idea
Wormhole
it really is the sweet spot between early and mid-game
I’ll just need to figure out how to have the resources from the hub be taken to the main factory to be turned into late game parts but that’s future me problem
Pure nodes on mk1 miner HATE to see me coming in with the mk3 belt 😈
in my current playtrough i didn't even bother using mk2 belts, went straight to mk3
path signals go at the entrance to all junctions, blocks go at the exits and spaced along the track (you want at least enough room between each signal for a rellyy big train to fit), 1 engine is enough for 4 cars, and do a proper 2 way system from the start
good luck with that, you've been warned 🙂
Bill, it's been 84 years since you last touched grass.
It calls your name.
never
But you must!
speaking of trains though, if you want to have 2 cargos on a specific train, do you need 2 stations per stop, or could you, say, have caterium as the front station, and quartz as the second car, and just not bother with stations for it when I don't need to on/offload quartz?
Concrete isn't the answer to your problems!
alright and let's say i was planning to make big train intersections, would that be possible like in factorio or would it just be too much?
or just use vertical space to make trains dodge eachother
I’ll somehow figure out how I want things to go. I mostly plan for this factory to just make extra copper like to be put into storage for when I need them for specific build stuff
Yeah but you can also have empty platforms to separate out really long trains where some cars do not load or unload for a particular stop
What logistis options can reasonably match a throughput need of 500 coal/min? Trains obviously, but which other ones?
conveyors
i dont know enough about factorio trains to really answer that but theoretically any size junction is possible. 4 way is about as big as you'll realistically need and most of the time it will just be 3 ways
The humble 2 mk3 belts:
belts honestly
drone
there are some people here that make really insane intersections so keeping an eye on #design-and-architecture or #screenshots wouldnt be a bad idea
yeah grade seperated junctions work fine in this game
How many drones would be needed to match that throughput?
"reeasonable" is doing a lot of work in that sentence.
1 if less than half the map away, otherwise 2 should cut it
so you would say 4-way intersections are more than enough then
assuming you fuel with nuclear rods, might be a bit iffy w batteries
For trains, there's a video on YouTube called smth like Smallest Intersection in Satisfactory that shows you how to make 4way roundabouts
Could help
lovely
yes. and thats pushing it sometimes ngl
Obviously, else there will always be that one guy going "just use 800 tractors. You didnt say it had to be a good method"
alr thanks guys
Guys could someone please help my coal plant is making me very stressed rn
im all ears
a full cloverleaf is the max you'll ever need
I dont have nuke power yet sadly. Currently fueling my drones using the red fuel, forget its name. Between regular and rocket
It's broken
coal plants should be relieving stress, not adding to it, what's up?
With Crude oil nodes am I able to split one extractor going into two refineries? Or does one extractor only work for one refiner
I never do anything other than belt and pipe personally but trains are pretty good
how
what you can do with a 4 way can be done with a 3 way 90% of the time if you just plan your tracks better
hmm yeah might be a bit tough, try it out and see haha
After running for 30 hours it randomly stopped without me adding to it
But what if you want to intersect 6 lanes? It'd be a Hexa-leaf! Huauhauauhhuauha
yeah but its not an even number so i prefer not to 😭
extractors go into pipes, and pipes go into as many machines as you like, albeit only up to the flow rate of the extractor.
you're hired to the texas DOT
well then there might've been a coal shortage or water shortage
i got terrifying news.. "Iron Department Manager - Bolty" has been lost.. if you seen THIS
lizard doggo please contact immidietally :c
atleast CEO Licky is still here

I checked but when I restarted it. The thing shut down after using 9 coal with 91 to spare
did you turn on a new machine/factory just before it shut down?
NOT MY BOY ;-;
sounds like a water issue, then.
Its either not getting enough water or youre dealing with large surges of power
Water is completely full and was full when shut down
maybe your pipes are not pressured, do they run vertically?
😭
As flat as possible
oh were they :/
Are the pipes load balanced or manifolded
If it has coal, and has water, then you're facing a power spike.
Do you currently have 0 draw on your network for some reason?
They are just pipes in a straight line
Seen a lot of people in the last 24h saying "i shut off all my machines when not in use" 😂
1 water to 3 but it's been like that for 20 hours
Not a coal problem, not a water problem, probably a power grid problem. Did you accidentally cut them off the power grid? Did you check your connections
Hmm
I'll check
I'm out of ideas. Must've been the wind
Nope
Idealy your coal plants should be connected to the miners and the water extractors to be self-sufficient
Alr ill send a photo in #screenshots please help
There's only 3 points of failure possible. Water flow, coal flow, and power grid. If you are 100% sure they are full on both fuels, the only reason they would stop producing is if the grid dropped to 0. The only reasons that would happen is A) a broken line or B) you tripped your grid and it all shut down
why are your power plants overclocked
Cuz my power grid is huge
Wait if each coal generator is taking 120 water you couldn't possibly power 3 of them with one extractor
but overclocking does eat up more coal and water mind you
Here is my water chunkle
There's no downside to over clocking them. Coal +water costs are linear to power increases
yeah but i mean maybe he got his ratios off
The ss provided shows water tank full
doesnt matter how he did his pipes, its working
Do you have multiple disconnects in your grid?
Check my new screenshot
Priority switching, etc?
That could be temporary though. Maybe it experiences outages because the flow isn't enough
Should I add a water tower
well first of all it doesn''t look connected to any power grid
There's 0 draw on your machines, thats why they arent running
It's connected to my coal
If they are connected to the grid, theres a disconnect somewhere down line, youve blown fuses
If you have priority switching, something snapped them off
It's one water extractor to 3 coal plants. The capacity for pipe mk1 is 300/min of water. There's no way to power three coal plants with one water, or one pipe to talk three
That's 360 water per min
But how has it been somewhat working for 20 hours
Key word somewhat
A small leak is still a leak
It probably switches on and off but it would still work ⅚ of the time
Once one of your genes died, you stopped burning water, so they all filled despite the lacking supply
Making it look like they were all full
Alr
Replacing ALL my early game factories into my new building, doing one factory per pruduct, takes SOME MUCH time! And when I’m done, i’ll still be tier 4! 😲
Now I'm wondering if partial function could work in other areas. Clearly it doesn't work in power plants because the power might shut off, but the effective rate of production would just be a bit less with not fully supplied factory machines
Could be useful in starting up temp builds
The factory must grow and be efficient but if you take too much time being efficient it won't grow. Paradoxical 💔
but if you don't spend enough time being efficient, it doesn't grow either
who's bolty
It’s efficient based on 120 ore/min at the start of each chain, so relatively, AND YET my countainers are already FULL
yeah usually that's how it goes
also CEO doggo is refusing to move at all, idk why hes ai broke, how do i fix it
Gotta play post game so I can actually justify using nuclear
Try 5 TW
equivalent of 2 coal generators
Ah yes, 5 Teeny Watts 🤣
hahahahaha
how do i unstuck a doggo that just froze in place
I wonder if save editor could do that
Idk if there's any way to do it in-game tho
Wait, do doggos respawn?
If so I have an idea..
Only solution is the Dimensional depot I guess?
My current save I started when 1.0 came out has officially crossed 800 hours...
More than my total playtime...
I'm close tho
A light 700hrs
On my first save I got to tier 6 in 140 hours, now I'm about to beat the game in like 35. Progression goes crazy
I've never actually beaten the game. I'm at the very end of Tier 8 still. I need to build my nuclear power up, because I don't have enough power left to do nuclear pasta, and I refuse to go the "spam rocket fuel" route.
Is it worth shipping items from 1000 meters with trains, or is that overkill
many people have used trains for less
do you want to spend a fortune on belts
250 m is my limit for long belts most of the time
So a full kilometer is definitely getting something else
Ok, thanks
anyone else having the problem when using the straight build mode with belts? it's like curved at the end slightly when you extend it too far
Usually because the first one isn't exactly grid straight
yeah it can sometimes bug a little bit going around corners
you can fix it by building a short segment in regular or curved mode to straighten it out
weird.. i swear i'm on the grid...
its just a weird bug that happened with 1.1
I find it turns the pole at the end sometimes when I extend the belt and have to scroll to make it in line again
exactly what i'm seeing
IS there a way to see how many materials are being stored at a drone port? I can only find the drone's inventory, not how many items are waiting to be loaded
either interact with the drone port or hover over it with the dismantle gun
if you have too much of an unneeded item you use the item sink, which gives you coupons
Nah its smarter to make a 75x100 setup of industrial storage containers.
I swear you could use the map to look at the contents of a drone port unless it was a mod
You can to see what the drone port is holding, but not the inventory of a drone
ok i've noticed it's only when you build a long belt after a turn
Turns out you cant see the items until you power up port and it is capable to load the drone. Despite this, it will still pack into the inventory of the port
Its a known issue, supposedly itll be fixed when update 1.2 happens
are tractors and trucks good for getting through decently bumpy terrain like the Rocky Desert Cave
I want to get those quartz nodes but dont really want to conveyor pipe them
would rather set up truck system
thats how i got quartz the firs time
They should be great, just build a few ramps at the entrance
yeah i set up like 4 rows of conveyors all the way out, fucking annoying that was
trucks or tractors i recommend for that
Yooo just equipped my first pair of blade runners
Sweet as it's a game changer
It would be nice if you could use a nuke or something to blow a hole in the roof 😭
Yeah, now my slide jumps go much faster
Spent about 3 hours exploring, and uh…map is big.
Yeah, saw the desert dunes in a let’s game it out video, thought it looked pretty, ran from grass fields to desert dunes with no vehicle cause I suck at the game and it took me like 30 minutes
Yeah, I started from up north, and with vertical, collected about 30 spheres, 12 HD, and 17 sloops. It’s ridiculously huge. Now I’m back at the base, and I am going to bed, lmao
Is your name just a random string of digits, or does it mean something?
You sound pretty good at the game, how necessary are rigor motors after tier 4, got my hard drive scanned and I wanna know
I saw someone with a weirdly long name so I wanted to mock them by changing mine but I thought my name was kinda cool so I kept it, just random
I’m a console player, so I’m pretty new to this game like you. I’ve just spent more hours in the past few days than I ever did, lmao.
So I still don’t know which recipes or stuff like that is good yet
Dang, console player too, what tier are you at
Rigor Motor is okay if you already have Oscillators being made, but it significantly increases the footprint of your factory
Pretty much finished phase 3, haven’t sent stuff off yet, as wanted to explore and do up factories.
Otherwise I’ll be at tier 7
I like the one that uses ECRs
So what your saying is if I have oscillators it’s good but it uses up a lot of power, I haven’t unlocked oscillators but I pretty easily could, I haven’t even touched any sort of motor yet so I’m just wondering if I wanna start with a rigor motor or a regular one
Trying to build a warehouse is hard
I’m just about to finish phase 2 tonight, just need to get the easy automated wiring and I’ll be good
I will say, my biggest advice as a new player, collect a lot of HD before you move into phase 3, try and unlock alt recipes because the alt recipes open up alot, and it’ll be harder to find useful recipes mid game
Scratch that, I JUST finished it
lmao, nvm
Nice
I’m picking up what you’re putting down
I’m still on phase two. Been disassembling my lines a lot.
Anyone got a nice BP for 1 nuclear reactor above 6 water extractors?
oh lord…… WHAT IS PHASE 3
How far are you?
It’s oil time baby
120 smart plates. That’s it.
I do have coal power now
So… that’s something
It’s probably just me not caring about them at all but I literally was automating smart plates at all times since after phase one and it still took me days to get it, idk what to say cause I’m new but I feel like you should make like atleast more than one assembler
Most likely
I’m very new to games like these that I have to force my lizard brain to actually think
same, I’m very stubborn and scared to mess up so I’ll be bad at this game forever cause I don’t want to get rid of conveyors and replace them with another material so I’ll never progress
mine throws a tantrum if i even think about thinking
so i'm usually putting up with spagettit somewhere
I know that I can spaghetti my conveyors but it feels better when it’s nice
I generally try to avoid spaghetti, generally, I have had a few nightmares in my time.
Tomorrow I might just toss that to the side so that way I can progress.
Theres no half walls?
Half width right?
yea
Alas no, I sorely wish for them myself.
is there any good use for concrete in tiers 5-6 because I have like 5k right now and my storage is full
Foundation is all I can think
Concrete can get burned off by the thousands of tons if you go wild with building construction.
You’ll use them a lot for foundation at the very least
Also works with steel pipes
What version is the game in? Last time i played awhile ago i had it on experimental
I built a concrete facility for one job, supplying my construction needs because I kept nuking my supply as I built my tunnels 🤣
Unlocked few recipes, and leaving like 11 HD alone as the recipes doesn’t seem good atm
Same but it’s only one miner and constructor for the moment for concrete.
Is foundation REALLY necessary?like what exactly would you use it for (no clue because I haven’t used them at all yet
To make a flat surface to build on? So its all neat
You don’t have to use them, but it helps with making factories so much better
Sky factory
If you build heavy that will get overrun big time, my setup produces 1600 concrete per minute feeding into twelve storage cans.
Flat surface is great
foundations, you'll learn, help keep your conveyor belts and everything all snappy and neat looking, easier too,
Downloaded this game on ps5 as a early birthday present 2 days ago and have 21 hours already, I need to stop playing.
Anyone else or just me.
What’s the fun in having a good factory, spaghetti is awesome and even if I tried to make it good I’d fail and quit
87 hours and also a console player
It’s dopamine rush
Here's a small example of going nuts with foundations #screenshots message
I mean not as much as you definitely but I got it like a week ago and I have 31h
spagetti is good, but i'm striving for a cleaner look on my current 2nd playthrough
That’s actually a beautiful tunnel but I’ll cross that bridge when I cross it or whatever
back in 2017 I was playing Factorio, stuff happened and now same addiction.
Consider this. A sky factory.
hmmmmm that’s a lot of plates for conveyor belts
No thanks, I build actual tunnels.
The game literally has warnings about playing too much. It’s not a coincidence.
I ain’t there yet, I’m suddenly aware how tricky it’ll be as a console player to make tunnels.
I haven’t even tried doing transports, outside of hypertubes.
Anyway, good talking with y’all.
Tricky sure, shouldn't be impossible though, here's a primer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rc9T_ZlDv68
More than what is necessary to buffer dimensional depot and the occasional mass local pickup is actually an antipattern. Huge buffers hide production problems until you’re confident and move on. Then they bite you. But you don’t realize it until the effect is often felt way downstream.
Definitely, there's twelve uploaders to boot, ensuring I never overrun my supply again.
I’ll give it a watch tomorrow morning.
As long as they don’t also feed into production lines then whatever but the chances you need one container per uploader seems small
Fair dues, it is just an 89 second introduction rather than a full on guide.
With lift splitters it’s super easy to just stack up loaders on a container. You’d need more upload capacity than a belt to have too many
Oh no, I’m deaf, so I need subtitles. So I’ll focus on that tomorrow morning, my brain is absolutely shattered arm
Is it true that crude oil can only be found in the desert? It’s very far from me and I don’t wanna go to Iran and back to have a tiny bit more power
Where are you at?
Understandable, also I don't speak in the vid 😄 , just text 👍 , have a good night.
The first starting area, I think it’s called grassy fields
Should be some oil northwest of grassy area.
[can't mod my game] is there a command to set the time of day using debug?
Okay thanks, are you talking about the scary purple forest (the less scarier of the two purple forests) with all the alpha stingers
crude oil is all around the map
Nah, if you stick to the coast, you’ll be fine.
that’s nice
there's actually none in the desert...
Run them over with a truck
only a group of shitty nodes at the edge of the big desert
I must’ve been thinking that oasis place not the dune desert
I’m lowkey forgot to build that
you've been hit by
you've been struck by
truck
That one meme of Anton ego eating the ratatouille
Anyway, sleep time. Have fun y’all, see you in the morning
I have a truck loop that does around all of the spider spawns, every so often I go and collect the goods to turn into DNA or Jetpack fuel
Does it kill then by hitting them?
Yep
Oh. Trains don’t though right?
Yes
@solar warren Awe, now I want to know how you were able to do that #screenshots message , it looks amazing.
flat roof pieces painted copper and chrome
the foundation circle was pulled in 1m so it would fit in the 5x5 blueprinter
In the 5x5? Wow! I thought it was much bigger than that.
@solar warren Did you see this #screenshots message , I'm doing it in the 6x6 BD.
It would be nice to put a nice roof on it, later (well, on the second part of it).
that looks pretty cool
here is the base of that battery, the foundations are rotated 2 clicks and pulled in 1m which gives it the funky design
#screenshots message
I am setting up my train system now.
One of my train (train 1) lines is transporting bulk plastic and rubber to a secondary factory for the plastic to be turned into circuit boards. But I’m wondering if I should also have that train (train 1) pick up made circuit boards and transport that and rubber to the hub or if I should just set up a second train line that simply collects made resources at this factory and drop them at the hub instead
Thanks, I'll have to try to figure that out. I've been having my own struggles with what I'm building. I had trouble getting the center conveyor centered down the middle of those 8 conveyors.
nudge is your friend. put a foundation down that is lined up with the ones you want and aim at it, then move it over to the center. ctrl nudge for 1/2m increments
I just saw a video on YouTube where someone was discussing how trying to return empty containers to a packaging site caused delay problems with his trains, as the trains were unloaded and then had to be loaded (I didn't understand it all, but it sounded like they got unloaded twice when normally they would only be unloaded once).
You can add 3 cargo slots to the train 1 rubber 2 plastic 3 circuit boards,
Just make sure you tell the schedule to unload and load the correct items
But what do I do if I also want plastic to be taken to the hub to be bulk stored?
That sounds reasonable, probably not what the guy in the video did. I haven't gotten to trains, yet.
Would It be a good idea to set it up so I have a splitter on the plastic? So it will put half of the unloaded plastic back into a cart on the train which then gets taken to the hub?
The good rule is that each segment doesn't share different items
No
So how would I get plastic to be taken to the storage hub aswell
You have a train with 2 cargo segments
One for plastic and the other for rubber
Stations can't half load trains with plastic is the problem
I thought he had 3 different items he wanted to move, but wanted the plastic to go two places.
One train can unload at multiple stops
I know trains can unload at multiple stops but I need plastic to go to the copper factory and the storage hub
- Load train
- Unload at copper 1x
- Remaining goes to storage
Go to 1
So I’d have to rely on the train being unable to unload all the plastic?
What do you mean
Yes
Or you can add another train
@ocean frost If you have one train with 2 cars, each having the same cargo, can you empty one car at one stop and the other car at another stop?
This games such a struggle for my smooth brain 
Yes, you just add an empty platform
Ah, I'll try to keep that in mind when I get to trains.
Just add another train form plastic to storage to keep it simple
:8 I wish my brain could comprehend this stuff easier. I don’t even know if I set up my oil factory correctly it’s got two pure crude nodes and two normal and I’m unsure if I can have a extractor fuel two refiners or not
Anyone here willing to jump into my world sometime and assist me with my train network signals?
why does the plastic taste like soap
Where would I make a suggestion (blinking signs, they could simulate blinking lights, too)?
To stop your cats from chewing it
Hah, hah, a "chew, chew train."
why does the rubber taste like asphalt?
The real question is: why does everything else taste like chicken?
I think chicken tastes like turkey and turkey tastes like chicken
"Doggos roasting on an open fire..."
Well, at least PETA can't find me on this planet.
there was a study where scientists asked canibals what human meat tasted like and they said chicken
Some said chicken, some said it tasted like bitter pork. It was described as addictive.

Hm, I wonder what the scientists tasted like?
Like bleach
Time for SCIM 🙂 (if you're on PC)
Radiation feels good :>
wym
You can feel the tumours growing
You can just move your megafactory up 🙂
Ah. Might try that. Sounds like a lot of work even with that but idk
set the height filter so that it excludes your nuke stuff then copy and paste what's left
(I'm assuming you can change the height when you paste)
Yea i mean it prob works, but theres a lot of work to do with the trains still after that lmao
Just turn off radiation
Is that something that negates achievements
Why though? It feels good
Bask in the glow
Atom’s glow is blessed.
dogmeat disapproves
They should introduce lead paint into the game
YUMMY!
they did when they released the console version 😛
hey, what’s this glowing pill thing on the grou~ AAAAAAAAGGGHH
What's the problem
Fuel power generators, let's gooooo
I've decided for my 190832 playthorugh I'm doing no-trains no-drones all vehicle transport. I will force myself to love the truck stop
and if at the end of that I still think they suck the butthole then I won't feel like there's any chance I didn't give them enough of a chance
okay, but be prepared to do a lot of tire changes because I’m going to eat your tires
I have a LOT of entry and exit points. Every junction is a roundabout for easy transitions. I have one rail that breaks off and goes into separate entries to train stations. I just need help understanding where to place blocks and where to place paths to get all of this to work correctly
what about a no-nobelisk no-rebar gun palythough?
How about.. pacifist run, no attacking!
too late for that 🙂
How about.. NO COAL POWER!
it would make collectin gstuff really hard. also too late for that but "only bio power" would be the interesting one.
I never said you couldn’t use fuel generators, but you aren’t allowed to use coal power.
yeah I'm saying that's too easy.
Biofuel until you get nuclear power?
hey ppl how are you ALL
biofuel until you complete the story
probably not QUITE as bad as you'd think since you can sloop multiple stages of power production -- wood -> biofuel -> solid biofuel -- so you get 4x
can fuel generators burn liquid biofuel?
oh and biocoal would be allowed
!wikisearch fuel_generator
The Fuel-Powered Generator is a power generator building that generates power by burning liquid fuel (Fuel, Liquid Biofuel, Turbofuel) or gaseous fuel (Rocket Fuel, or Ionized Fuel).
At 100% clock speed, one Fuel-Powered Generator produces 250 MW. The type of fuel does not affect power production, only...
Yes
yeah so ... anything bio-related would be allowed but it has to not come from a miner
Sounds super interesting! And painful.
I just set up my first fuel power plant and still don't understand the refinery
weren't you the insanity that was still on biofuel?
If you are free a little later I can have a look. Not home at the moment
No? I was the one with eight coal powerplants running mk1 belts
I had coal and water problems
Now I don't
Challenge, mk1 only! You are only allowed mk1 buildings.
no.
DAMN bro shot that down FAST
oh HELLS no. if nothing else just beacuse it takes so long for anything to get anywhere
you’d rather use biofuel for an entire playthrough?
Okay, you can use mk2 poles
then it's a BS challenge -- it's the "almost mk1 everything challenge" - no one wants that achievement
I think I'm good on power, producing 1,637 mw, max consumption is 926, and currently consuming 482
yes, you're extra good. I find that 50% above current consumption is a good number for making my next factory
I think it’d be funny if someone did a handcrafting only playthrough, and they used a mod to make everything handcraftable
I have a program that speeds up game time, so maybe then. 50x speed
You make multiple factories?
it would just be afk simulator though
I just force everything into one spot
That'd be painful
No foundation playthrough
oh you mean my first playthrough? 🙂
Can I create a strangely specific challenge for you to defeat?
no I've already disqualified you for your mk1 challenge including mk1 power poles
but I'm still a little curious 🙂
Sulfur isn't in the smart splitter?
cat?
!wikisearch smart_splitter
I've got a smart splitter system for my tractor transport system
Only issue is that I need to redesign it entirely to accommodate sulfur seeing I can't just add it at the start
Okay, Biofuel only, maximum mk3, must start your base in a location with only TWO pure nodes inside it. Xeno-taser only, no bombs, rebar gun or rifle. To complete this challenge, complete all phases and connect all uranium nodes to a singular point in the map and place your only hub in the middle. What do you think?
I don't have any problem with locality of nodes. I don't really understand why I'm connecting all the uranium stuff. mk3 stuff is fine.
Basically, once you complete the phases, you’re going to complete the save by entering an infinite death loop :>
oh I see. yeah just don't die until you get iodine filters
oh if you have drop inventory on death then you're f'd
Is that a good challenge?
not for me 🙂
actually wait... if I just sink all the uranium then it's probably fine
Too easy?
Is it too easy?
too easy? probably not. Too tedious? absolutely. 😛
a starfield like new game + would be fun though.
Wonder if the devs will add sulfur to smart splitters in the patch for consoles
more fun than starfield, thats for sure
is it missing?
If you can prove to me and complete an entire playthrough with mk1only, I will PayPal you $50
like its just not in the drop down?
let me tell you what you can do with that $50
O:-D
A few things were missing in the smart splitter earlier, and restarting the game fixed it, but it didn't fix it this time
crazy
I now have to rely on the undefined option to properly sort sulfur
you don't. There is a MUCH better option
ibuypower 🙂
What would that option be?
Spending $5040 seems like a reasonable solution
yes, if you want RAM then it will cost $5040
I want to put my PC back in vertical orientation but I have to find my GPU support so it doesn't crack 😕
turns out wedging your 🐈 under it isn't a good long term solution
Where is the best location to get crude from?
I recommend going as far north as you can go
I've found like 5 pure ones
yeah north/center is the most oil with another near in the west desert.
5 pure together?
some oil requires fracking which unlocks 2 phases (tiers?) later
Do you have like the cords for them? As I wanna set up a location just purely to drill up the oil then have a train transport the oil closer to me to make into power
why would you move the oil to make power? just burn it where it is -- and if you have rail you already have a power connection .. from the rail
I wanna try Utilise all the features the games offering me and transporting liquids is one of them. I just think it would be cool having trains moving oil to be loaded at a oil power plant
Nitrogen?
it's a couple bits later in the game
A lot of the oil guides I’ve seen people have used trains transporting large amounts of oil further away to day a larger flattened location to have the power plant
That calculator is straight lies
Honestly it's a great and unique project
On the bottom left it says there’s lots of oil nodes including impure nodes but that’s where I have my plastic and rubber mini factory and there’s only 4 nodes there 2 normal and 2 pure?
The factory cart dupe glitch is gone....
Do you mean the beach
You can do whatever you want. Advice here generally
Follows what is easiest
It’s like bottom left of the map with mini islands
I may be making the game more complex for myself but I feel it will be fun in the long run
You are just making a robust logistic network
There is beauty in being able to build wherever you want on the map.
Man
Plus I can just claim like more oil nodes from differnt areas and just have all the trains go to the same place dropping off the oil
Rebuilding ur world is such a pain when you arent in creative mode with infinite power and flying
😭
Again you’re fine doing this but there is a LOT of oil at all the large spots. You’ll need hundreds of fuel generators at each site. You’ll need a thousand if you centralize it.
Thousands
That’s not true.
Might change ina. Good way or bad way
There is no indication train fluid numbers are changing
I personally think in a good way
Tbh I’d rather have loads in one spot than loads at random spots
Play the game your way 🙂
I like to center differnt things in differnt spots
I was just letting you know of some of the speed bumps you will face. But there is something amazing about a build that does one thing at scale for me it was aluminum
What you’ll find is that you have to process it in batches of 600 since that’s what mk2 pipes move so you’re just doing work to then build the same stuff just somewhere else. But anyhow do what you want 🙂
Does aluminium Need crude to be made?
No. Bauxite
Which is a belt through the middle of the map
I used petro coke for mine
Honestly petro coke is so underrated
Oh so I can just use my plastic/ rubber factory which also makes petro coke to be wasted in the sink
Just instead of me sinking it I’ll use it later for aluminium
Also fuel
Turbo fuel and rocket fuel
For all of the fuel gens, you need them most of the mid and late game, with an optional transition into uranium
But those are too tasty to be used in.. bleh.. fuel generators
Trying a new piping setup for coal I'm not crazy that this would work right? One extractor into the first two ending in a junction at the third gen that the other two extractors also connect to, would put the pipe at 270, after the third gen and the other 5 just eat off one straight pipe, right?
I've always done the first one and I don't see what I'm suggesting on there. The second one is close. Would they HAVE to be on the end like that or is what I'm suggesting fine
Gill! Can I drink some of your oil?
this is water sadly
do it see how it goes and report back
gib me oil :<
Okay, American
I’m Canadian
Quit appropriating my culture then
I’m just thirsty
Anyone else finding it hard to move the base to another location and get a fresh start because you're already producing so many things at the base?
Don't try moving everything
Just leave the factory there, sink its outputs, and build new elsewhere
You could also leave uploaders there and sink overflows only.
Do you mean the dimensional uploader? It can only deliver 5 stacks of different materials right
glitching under the world still a thing?
5 stacks in total... but 240/min per uploader
5 uploaders is a mk 6 conveyor into your inventory, if you have the production capacity to back it up
isn't it 60/min
they're 30 without the research and all of the research totals to 100% increase
100% per upgrade
30/60/120/240 per min
1/2/3/4/5 stacks
?
i'm looking at them right now
they're 50%, 25%, 12.5%, 6.25%
so actually it's not even 60
take a screenshot and post it in the screenshot channel?
i dont have the game open in front of me, but the "240" is very clear in my memory
wait it says 240 at the top of the last upgrade but it says the reward for it is a 6.25% upload speed increase
i think the ui might just be garbage
still, send a screenshot, i wanna see :p
there is a kinda logic to it: 100 / 6.25 = 16; 16 * 15 = 240
you're probably right but i'm sure you can understand my confusion here lol
yeah, it's not clear what the % referres to
yeah like 30 > 60 is not a 50% increase
It refers to the time between item uploads
ah, makes sense
What would you guys say the best recipe for making circuit boards is out of the base recipe and Caterium circuit boards?
that's still kind of a janky way to put it but 🤷♂️
Electrode Circuit Board, you can make it with oil
Silicon Circuit Board, if you have access to quartz
whatever you have access to honestly
I have the electrode circuit board unlocked. Maybe that could be a good idea as then instead of my plan for moving plastic, rubber to my copper plant to make circuit boards thete will change and make my life easier
I have accesses to all the alt recipes for circuit boards
I more so meant where you want to build
god I hate screws
I think it’s between caterium circuit board or the electrode one
As the electrode one means I can just make the boards at my plastic/oil plant then have a train with 3 carts transport th to my storage hub instead of an extra stop just to have boards made
Only issue is it’s less per minute 🤔
Electrode costs a fuckton of oil
So it’s not really worth it you’d say?
I am now of the opinion that the new conveyer belt walls are bad
And I don't see a reason to make CBs out of only oil when whatever you use them for cannot be made out of only oil too
Sure you can place them anywhere on the wall but you can no longer go through them
How well does the game run on ps5? Iam so tempted to get it on ps5
I guess I’ll either stick with making them at my copper factory or I’ll make them at my cTerium factory
fused quickwire -> caterium circuits is nice and easy if you have plastic in the area
I’m on phase 3 just unlocking trains with aloooooot of stuff built all over like roads etc.
And so far the games running quite well it has a few hiccups here and there and abit laggy but I’m not sure if it’s just my internet playing up
So u say its worth it on ps5?
I mean I’d say so. The controls seem ok and it’s running decent for me.
The only downside to console I’ve seen so far is console can’t use the train horns 😢
It won't look nearly as good as it CAN on the PC but it's optimized and runs fine on the ps5
Coffeestain aren't bad at programming
That settles it then. Iam getting the game for ps5. Gonna be a few weeks though. Need to save up money for it.
I plan to use trains to move my plastic to wherever I decide to make my circuit boards
@random garnet how big is the game on ps5? I mean storage
i know you never asked me but its 9.15gb @remote pasture
Saves me looking lol
Oh that is perfect
Silicon circuit board is best resource wise but I'd definitely do caterium otherwise for the plastic efficiency
I’m so torn now as I set up this copper plant MOSTLY to make steamed copper sheets to make circuit boards lol
Pipe in a bunch of quickwire and you can make AI limiters and circuit boards 
I mean I have a alt receipt to make sure limiters out of plastic 🤔
So I could knock down two things with caterium wires
so if some one knows where did the golf thing originate ? also have the devs teased something that they said they will never add but have ended up adding it ? im asking as im so confused with the yt videos
my brain is not working tonight 😢
Hamburger
Is there a way to make the zipline faster? Im currently just jumping near a power pole and left clicking
As a long time player on PC, I just started on console and having a blast. And I just got cast screw as my first alt, feel like I won the lottery
One mouse button requires holding to stay on, the other you can just click once. Might wanna try the other if you're holding right now
And sprinting works too and it does make you faster
Ty. And is there a way to see a drone's inventory? I can see the docks 2 inventories, incoming and outgoing, but I cant find a way to interact with the drones themselves?
not really except for hovering over them with the dismantle tool
holding shift gives a sig speed boost
they didn't make the console ports
yeah same with trains/stations during the docking process
is anyone good at math in here
don't ask to ask just ask
and asking here is fine at first -- if it's too much of a long discusison answer/converstaion then move it there
Is there any easy way of figuring the ratio of coal genes to turbo fuel powered genes?
is.. that ratio a thing? why would there be a ratio of those things?
How many of X = Y is a ratio question, is it not?
yeah, it's just that I don't really get where the equality comes from
are we talking about just power produced?
That is the unit they deal in
not.. always
usually you just leave the old coal generators running and don't care what the ratio is
so I'm going to guess that you want to tear down your old coal generators to put the coal into making turbofuel?
that's basic division & multiplication?
so maybe the ratio you should care about is power produced per coal input rather than per generator?
Ill be downsizing coal to make room for a significant expansion to my oil field, complete with fuel generators. Not eliminating entirely, but I built them relatively close, and in an area where the natural land around me doesnt permit any other option.
So Ill be going from coal to either turbofuel power or rocket fuel power, depending on how miserable rocket is to make and/or if its even gene friendly, Im just now working on unlocking it
Any freed up coal will go into other production processes, possible being shipped elsewhere
so, usually people go with diluted fuel rather than turbofuel as it's way easier to set up and you can turn diluted fuel into plastic/rubber as well
there's a rocket fuel alt which skips turbofuel which is usually the preferred one
from what I can see it's normally thought that turbofuel just isn't worth the effort
I went with large scale rocket fuel, it can definitely run the whole show until the game falls over.
you use diluted fuel to MAKE turbofuel to MAKE rocket fuel
it's not one or the other -- it's both
you can do that, but it's easier to not and use nitro rocket fuel instead
imean I have lots of coal and sulfur around the same area, so my plan was just to use a combination of all recipes, diluted into turbo, residue into turbo with comp coal, and regular fuel into turbo
blue crater?
And then convert the system again when rocket fuel is attained. I do not currently have any alt options available
The one with a geyser on the middle, south edge of map?
yeah
Yup
it's a good spot for rocket/turbofuel because there's also nitrogen gas close by and plenty of water
I went with nitro, the resulting compact coal byproduct gets fed into a nearby foundry that produces 4800 steel ingots.
Oil field on north shore, coal and sulfur on south, they cross near the middle
That's why I love the default turbo/rocket recipes -- it's all self contained - you don't have to do any weird games
And I have a massive power backup array building covering most of the western half of the crater as well
so
That's fair, my byproduct steel has taken over from my earlier steel mill so it isn't a loss, just a redirection of production.
I still need to get around to making a replacement alclad plant etc, I took the basic one down, but now I'm on a clock since I have 4 industrial cans full of plates and no production atm 🤣
I'm not willing to sacrifice both nitrogen and sulfur for "easier" and then have to deal with byproduct that I can't feed back in
fuel generators are worth more than 3 coal generators, but you also get more fuel generators out of a turbofuel setup than you can power coal generators from some coal nodes
so the generator to generator ratio is not really useful
really the turbofuel setup will produce vastly more power than the coal setup so you just build that up to your desired target
Never remove a spaghetti factory until you have its replacement in place, otherwise you can find yourself without building materials 🙂
coal power is basically just a holdover until you get fuel generators. Then you should just tear it down and use the coal for better stuff
your fuel generators essentially scale forever from the same oil as you get turbo then rocket fuel
I do need to tear out my old coal, I might just redirect to diamond production.
Happy to remove it too, Im just not specirically looking to do so. If I need to in order to make room, and its also logical progression, so be it 😂
Not this morning though, I should be going to work in 5m.
you can never have enough diamonds -- in the max points build, coal is actually the most valuable resource in the game
you actually use converters to make more coal than the map can provide normally
MOAR DIAMONDS!!!
Exactly, I'm using petro diamonds to keep me in depot time crystals, just overproduction from my coke that goes to bauxite processing, the rest, I'll decide down the line.
I don't get people that use that aluminum alt.
you don't need to remove it unless you want to re-use those resources, and if you do, you can definitely tear it down (after the new one is done) as the new one will totally outclass the coal power
More ingots, what's not to love, I'm only burning an otherwise spare impure oil well in the swamp.
I do need to revisit that petro facility, I want to get its resin output converted to cloth, not clock > filters.
@random garnet renember i said i was gonna have to wait a few weeks before getting the game. Well its changed. I can get it on friday (2 days from now)
Mhm I know. I dont plan on removing all of it, just any that gets in my way. I dont currently need the coal for anything besides what I siphon for the turbo fuel 🙏
So I just realized my next progression unlock is nuclear power 😂 Ive not even done a proper fuel setup yet. Should I just wait for that, or is it going to be a misery to set up?
People who don't appreciate the complexity of nuclear often stop at Fuel. It can offer a lot of power for relatively little effort (and low complexity in production chains)
is there a showcase of a super simple nuclear power plant? want to personally try it out but im kinda intimidated by the scope of it lol
super simple plant is basic recipes and storing uranium waste
Doesn't nuclear without plutonium work out to be way worse than rocket fuel?
question is "showcase of simple NPP"
and "worse" is subjective as we know 🙂
https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production?share=43C9YuGlaC3QS9OqaJic here's a plan for basic uranium (it's 10/min, but you can change it to whatever you want)
oh ic i was planning on handling waste as well if i ever touched nuclear power plants
So there IS a working duplication glitch. Just found out. Thinking about using it for things like coupons, Mercer Spheres, Somersloops and slugs. 🐌
May be for hardrives too!
you can store it and you can then later decide to process it further if you want
That way I just focus on building and don’t stress about exploration/missing out these fine items.
@reef basin I guess these glitches are patched regularly?
why are you asking me? 🙂
Oh just because I know you have the KNOWLEDGE about the game 😂
and it may or may not be patched, I mean it's not a competitive game so if you want to cheat, go ahead
idk if they will patch it or not
I just bought the golden nut statue how do I place it?
iirc, like a portable miner
You can’t place them very well…
It takes some practice to be able to place them exactly as you want
Why did I buy this 
Cos it's awesome
It's kinda a thing to only buy after you've already bought/unlocked everything else anyway. So no reason not to if you have the coupons
Yeah, just look up Sushi Galore on YouTube 
||Joke and self-promo disclaimer||
Tbh, you can probably look it up with the exact words you used ^^
I reckon there should be quite some content on that topic
Also, for a first time, it can be handy to just build the production yourself with as few machines as possible (no logistics), starting from one machine processing Uranium, to see how the production actually plays out 😉
Depending on your existing factories and their logistics, making Fuel Rods can be as simple as placing two production lines!
I personally first checked how much fuel i could make with up to 600 uranium per minute
Then i calculated what i need for that amount of fuel
Simple but it can feel intimidating🔥
(I think i settled with 5 fuel for 500 uranium?)
Yeah, that's the harder way to run your numbers (for the first time), imo 😆
Starting from oneachine rather than a fixed final output is often easier to wrap your head around the production; then you can just scale it up as you like
ah shit i was plannig for 5 nuclear pasta/min. i just realized thatd need 6000 copper ingot/min. or 64 refineries 
still not gonna back down tho
That copper better be pure m8
ofc 🫡
would yall bring all the copper ore to the factory and do the smelting all in one place, or make the ingots by the nodes and then transport to the factory to make the powder
I would make the factory near nodes I need, if there's no such place, I'd make it near most nodes and ship the rest to it
Same, near the densest ore spot
Or a dedicated place
theres a group of 3 normal nodes, id just have to figure out the last 600 copper
Another normal
ya there just isnt one nearby
@reef basin Stupid question but I guess…. if i DO dupe Mercer Spheres and Somersloops, I’ll still get all the story related messages no matter how many of these items I have in my inventory? You probably don’t have the answer to that question, it’s just that I don’t want to miss any of the story, it’s a really cool part of the game.
I have no idea, idk why you keep asking me
👋
Sorry bro. I (often) have weird thoughts/questions, I know you know a lot, excuse me if I pinged you specifically.
just ask the channel then? if I know answer, I can reply, but no reason to ping me with questions if they aren't specifically asked to me (e.g. about something only I can know or answer)
Got it. 👍
Since you’re here, just thank you for Tools, I’m using it a lot! ❤️
Check dm pls
At that point why not just add a mod that will allow you to craft spheres and sloops?
Or just use the advanced options to put them in your inventory
Can you unload only specific parts from a freight car?
You can set filters in the stop settings
Also can a freight platform do both load an unload into one freight car, or should I use separate wagons for it?
Though mixing items types in a wagon is generally not recommended
No, you'd need 2 stations to first unload then load the wagon
Where can I find this?
In the timetable, settings for a specific stop
Oh okay, thanks a lot
Also, is the loading unloading time fixed or varies based on the amount of items to be transferred. And the ascent descent time for drones are fixed right?
For trains, loading or unloading always takes the same time - 27 seconds
For drones iirc it's 50 something seconds to land, transfer items, take off
Been finding that I keep falling out of hyper tubes on the PS5 version
can some one pls help me in #screenshots
Okay, one last one: Suppose if I have a freight car partially full with some parts? I can still load new parts into it right?
Quick question, does the water tower trick still work? As in you pump one pipe of fluid up to the desired height then bring it back down and connect it to the system to gain headlight up to the maximum height of the water tower pipe.
- Why would it not work
- why would you bother using it when you can just use pumps
1: I don't know, it seems like fluids work strangely in this game.
2: I have to pump a lot of fluid and this would make it significantly easier.
- are you extracting enough water?
- are you sending less or more than 300 water in mk1 pipe?(As it's max flow rate is 300pm)
- is the head lift enough?
why post in a channel where we can't write? why not #1038092680493801533 or anything like that
oh sorry
well my pipes ar not going up hill and im using one extractor with mk 1 pipes
You are using 10 generators, which. I assume it is 450 water pm. So if you are using only 1 extractor, it ain't gonna be sufficient
i only have 4 active for now not all are on
ok yep seems i can only have 3 generators with one extractor wow
Well I had the similar problem before and at the same location, and the problem was I didnt get enough headlift. So you might as well double check on that. And make sure your pipes arent making weird shapes
45*3=135, and one extractor produces 120 water pm
oh i did calculate right is just didint take notice that it was above 120 so one can only work for 2 unless i over clock
Exactly
The standard ratio is 3 water extractors, 2 mk1 pipes and 8 coal generators
il just over clock in next stream
Its now confirmed. Iam getti g satisfactory on friday
Can we add a water pump gasket for 1997 Tacoma 2.5 as an alternate thing to send in the space elevator
Wood rubber and copper sheet
Hello. Is there someone from Turkey?
Untill i do get it, i have mh wilds and hd2 and palworld.
Perfect time to do NOTHING else over thanksgiving break!
Maby not the only thing. Seeing as i have stuff that is incomming for the 3 other games i just mentoid. So i gotta keep my skills sharp. But i will play satisfactory the most of those games over the break.
No no, I'm telling whats GOING to happen
You will play nothing else for at least 20 hours of gaming life
I will do my dailies in those games atleast. And nothing can change that
You'll see
Atleast let me do my dailies in the other games (takes like an hour or 2) then i can spend the other 10 hours of gaming each day on satisfactory.
multiple monitors, play multiple games simultaneously 
I sometimes do xD
Only 1 problem with that
Iam playing on ps5. And i only own 1 monitor.
check if tv has picture-in-picture mode for multiple inputs, use multiple consoles 
Process Explorer -> Suspend, good tip
keeps using the mem ofc, but not much else resources
I just ssid i only have 1 monitor/ tv
Ffs satisfactory is allready getting 90% of my daily gaming in the break.
And that is enough
Referring to PC land 🙂
I did say iam on ps5. Or did u miss that
Nope, just writing because there are other PC uses here ya know
Was a general "tip"
Wasn't directed at you in other words
kinda wish ADA gave more insight on the planet, like the PDA in subnutica
You didn't snap, it was a perfectly fine point. Sorry it's a hard day!
Iam on my way home now. To cook my favorit recepie, then helldivers 2 untill i go to bed.
I probably should have made myself more clear and said "while on the subject of running 2 games...."
@silk ocean while i got your attention. Any tip for begginers? Or atleast anything i need to know before starting satisfactory on friday.
I guess build on foundations as soon as you can (after the starter fac), get the dimensional depot from MAM research as soon as you can, progress research in general asap (helps make things easier in general), and generally just build what you need at the time and worry about expanding in future, try to leave as much space as you can (you can never leave enough).. Amongst many other things xD
Nothing is mandatory in Satisfactory though, if you don't want to do foundations, totally fine too, there's no right or wrong
Can you say all this in a more simple way please (sry i got ad-hd)
adding to that, dont stay in phase 1 too long. Go phase 2 and get coal. Automate dem power stuff.
Build on Foundations
Research Alien Tech Tree for the Dimensional Depot
Generally just make what you need
Progress to Coal as soon as you can to avoid gathering biomass for the burners
+many other things 😉
As Limestone says, once you're on coal with automated power you can kinda relax a bit and maybe go exploring a little
Is there any combat in the game (just curious)
automatic is smooth
smooth is fast
thats how i do the elevator
i hate the fucking red biome
automatic is life xD
and the swamp XD
dont get me started on it 😭
3 hours afk for a single item 🔥
Yikes XD
Listen, that PINK FOREST looked cute.
So I thought it was SAFE. Because it was CUTE.
CUTE = SAFE I THOUGHT.
I WAS WRONG BROTHERMAN
I am NOT going there ever again.
It is dangerous, and then just when you think it can't get worse.... nuclear dangerous XD
nuclear aint nothing compared to the fucking spores
Yea definitely take protection to that place
omg how i hate making filters
Can be automated at least
i forgot my silica farm and was doing that shit by hand
Easily done with so many recipes and products
Aslong as it dosent destroy tge stuff i build, iam fine with some combat.
elevator fase 3 is beating the shit out of me, at least im finishing it
They are only out to get you 😉
not when ur 1200m away from ur base XD
nah, it's not like factorio. you only really need to engage in combat when you're exploring, and it's not too difficult to dodge attacks
just need to watch out for the elite pricks before you get some decent weapons
except the jumping giant spiders, they scare me
I got chased out of the red forest off the cliff one time, I have a recording of it somewhere
it was unreasonably scary
Somehow the cats are worse
oh yeah that's another thing, if you're squeamish with spiders there's an arachnophobia mode which turns them into cat pngs
I tried factorio before. I couldent go 5 sec without getting attackt so gave up on it pretty quick
yeah I don't like how involved it is. satisfactory is much more relaxed
I think iam gonna turn those spiers completly off
that works too
Is there something such as "Highest cliff speedrun" in Satisfactory ?
i just wanted a automation game and now i gotta make a rifle so i can fight for me right of being alive
You can disable enemies if you want
Hello chat
The wildlife aggression settings are not tide to achievements. Feel free to turn them to peaceful if that is the gameplay style you are looking for
If there isn't you can make it
most automation games seem to involve some combat as a side activity, but it's optional yeah
I have trying right now to see if all jumps are doables without jetpack or parachute, my goal will be to climb the mountain from bottom to top with only blade runners. It seems to have been built for this so I think it can be done
I did a lot of bladerunner and parachute parkour. The parachute gains momentum and height on natural sharp slopes
i know that i choose to play that way, but it still make me angry lol
like when i spend 1 whole hour trying to get my itens back
Yes I know this trick with parachute but I wonder if you actually need it for the mountain.
How is everyone doing today?
HELLO INTERNET AND WELCOME TO GAME THEORY! Wait.. this isn’t right..
Losing my mind, 6 days til I get the game x_x
Get it now?
Can't, paycheck's next week
Trust me, this is a much better game than the tag you have on your name.
I have that game too
My friend drove of the map, is there any way we can recover or make it disappear from the kompass?
Save editing
I'm getting laughs out of the Steam reviews about it though.
Typpical slav jank tbh
I see a lack of coal tags
6 morr days
Because it's roblox
Why would I support a company that supports pedo's?
That’s to late… I was afk then, is there any other way?
? You can edit the current save file. Just delete or teleport the vehicle. You just have to be on PC because I don't think consoles give access to save files
I’m on ps5
Then you can only hope that the vehicle is reachable with dismantle mode from the edge of the kill zone. Or hypertube yourself through it. Though I'm not sure if that's possible on the bottom one.
You can also check map settings. You can disable vehicles as a category but maybe it's possible to disable just that specific one, idk
factorio at home be like (sorry, couldn't resist the joke)
can't wait to make endless lines of trains and trucks
Coal or gem chat
How come 6 days xD
gem?
He said waiting on payday
Ah missed that
no worries
Was thinking away from home or something xD
certified coal post
I'll take you up on that today, coordinate a time with me. I'm EST, I get off work at 2p.m then head home to watch my son and work from home until about 6:30pm today
Morning!
waitin on za muney
ello!
new player here (a few days in, just got coal up and running yesterday)
i have no organization whatsoever at my base lol (like half of my main factory is a giant clippy mess)
wow, lots of new players, and it's great to see them get to coal stage
i can still navigate it tho
just got the Explorer this morning
nice
great car, kinda impossable to steer
it can be
As long as you don't turn into Josh you'll be alright
lol i got that refrence
lol
not gonna do too much clippy magic on mine
still, play the game your way and have fun, there's no wrong way
will do alchemy with plastic and oil(or rubber, i don't remember)
bcus there's a little exploit there
lol, my save is an exploit. So yeah, just have fun
exploit on oil?
6 plastic to 12 oil, and 6 oil to 12 plastic
that's just a recycled loop
yea but over time it makes more stuff
kinda broken
not really...
not as broken as you think
it litteraly breaks conservation of energy
or one of those
The blueprints are pretty much an exploit
you make matter from literal nothing
welcome to video games
tell me how that's not broken
still costs power to run, and you can sloop it for more resources.
yea ok that's valid
if you think that's an exploit wait till you see what people do with megaprints
oh no
lol, my base runs on miners that are blueprinted, so I can place a miner anywhere and get resources.
i'm still working on getting steel online (the only coal deposit i can get to is like a kilometer away and i don't have trains)
Ya but you're not putting 4 and 6 miners on one node
how tf do you do that
I also run it in the void, and I've got more sloops than what's available than what's on the map
remember expoilts?
