[novel heath]

is there a way a quick way to check what buildings have somersloops? can be a mod or anything cause im getting tired of running around mass dismantling and checking if they have somersloops

[wicked nacelle]

are you on PC or console?

Just because I’m a duck? You fucking racist.

then on the right pane, click the little white icon next to your buildings called.. "building list" or something then look at production and look for things taht say x2 (or x1.25 x1.5 x1.75)

what if it's already there?

technically that's not perfect -- you have to have run something with the sloop before it will register there and if you turned it off adn removed the sloop it won't de-register there until you run it again a cycle without the sloop. But it's still the best way

[quick hound]

But he’s a duck racist :<

I HAVE BEEN SEXUALLY ASSAULTED BY XANNON

[novel heath]

would it register if i added the sloop then turned of the machine without it running another cycle

[wicked nacelle]

no it's looking at the machine's multiplier state not the actual inclusion of the sloop -- but I don't know any other way so that limitation is the best I can do

[north summit]

time do some decoration for efficiency

basically just road barriers so my damn tractor stops falling off

[novel heath]

alright thanks

[wicked nacelle]

usually it works well for people except for false positives (which are acceptable usually -- just a waste of time going to the machine and not finding it). Usually people dont' sloop something and then not even run it once

[ripe spruce]

Hello

[solid grail]

Hello

[wise junco]

has anyone had issues with signals wherein path signals have allowed 2 trains to enter the same intersection at the same time on colliding paths?

[ripe spruce]

Don't know just started

[wicked nacelle]

make sure the rails crossing each other are exactly (or damn close) to perfectly vertically even

they can be touching but not close enough and the game won't consider it a collision path -- and it MOST definitely doesn't consider the full train height when calculating

[wise junco]

that's gotta be it. the verticality is a little wonky - so even though the block color is the same, it won't read?

GOT IT

[wicked nacelle]

block color is completely unrelated

[wise junco]

thank you, that's 100% gotta be the problem

[wicked nacelle]

safest way is to have them on a foundation at least where they cross -- so that it's exactly but you CAN do it without the foundation if you're really careful

[wise junco]

thank you very much. should be a quick fix

[rapid storm]

Hello 👋🏾 baby boys

[ripe spruce]

Hi

How do I fix my base

[wicked nacelle]

I wish it was smart and not only counted the rail but also the train height in calculating whether it was safe to let two trains go through

[ripe spruce]

It looks like shit

[wise junco]

I sort of hodge-podged a line of train stations in between some questionably-leveled terrain and it's probably off JUST enough

[wicked nacelle]

nuke it from orbit!

[wise junco]

i walked away and came back 20 minutes later and found the entire train grid was locked up... PANIC

[ripe spruce]

My base is in screenshots could you give me tips?

[wicked nacelle]

make sure to have some charged offline power storage that you can turn on to recover if they are supplying power ingredients 🙂

[wise junco]

HAHA, funny thing that, that's what saved my ass

[wicked nacelle]

https://discord.com/channels/370472939054956546/932761153703149659 this is where you should share

[ripe spruce]

Ok

[wise junco]

yes - some of the trains in the pile were turbofuel supply trains

[ripe spruce]

Its in there thanks

[plain gate]

your power plant supply trains should never share tracks lol

very very bad idea

[ripe spruce]

Nah

[wise junco]

listen, I KNOW, and also I didn't want to make a second rail network 🤣

[wicked nacelle]

no it's fine you just have to do it right 🙂

[plain gate]

if everyone did eveyrthing right safety regulations wouldn't be a thing

[ripe spruce]

What safety regulations

[wicked nacelle]

those "oh crap" moments make the game more fun for me, anyhow 🙂

[plain gate]

if you plan illegal routes and clog up an intersection right next to your power plant,.... hahaha

[wise junco]

made everything perfectly level - don't expect futher issues xaxxon, thanks for the help

[plain gate]

kaboom

[wise junco]

i definitely misunderstood - i figured path signals read the block, not actual collisions

[vague creek]

Make a dedicated rail network that works is the same as make a single rail network that works

[ripe spruce]

When do I get trains

[wicked nacelle]

would be funny as hell if when trains derailed their cargo spilled out and you had to pick it up by hand!!!!!\

[plain gate]

LMAO

What teir are trains?

[plain gate]

[ripe spruce]

Damn

[wicked nacelle]

oil -- so one past coal

[ripe spruce]

Ok

[wicked nacelle]

you get trains quick in oil but signals take a while and trains aren't really super useful without signals

[ripe spruce]

Ok

[hasty cairn]

I remember spending months trying to figure out train signals in Factorio, until I finally had that "EUREKA!" moment, and when I did I wrote a simple guide to it for Factorio

[wicked nacelle]

signals are similarly "oh now I get it" in this game though I think they work significantly differently than factorio

but once you get signals you realize they're pretty simplistic

[hasty cairn]

SHUT UP

shivers in their own shame and ineptitude for months

[wicked nacelle]

nono until you get them they're weird as hell and make no sense.

[hasty cairn]

Yes....... it feels like... it SHOULD be totally simple

[wicked nacelle]

hoonestly they should lock path signals until the next phase to help people -- they make it harder to learn beacuse you think you should use them in many different places that you shouldn't

and make block signals not take computers

[north summit]

Truck Supremacy

[hard ivy]

Eh, you can do simple point-to-point systems without signals. You don't really need more than that for your first train line

[hasty cairn]

In Factorio it was like... rail signal just checks the block ahead of it, to see if there's a train in that block. Chain signals check the other signals pointing at that block. Rail signals after intersections, chains before.

[north summit]

Trains are for nerds just have 10000 trucks driving across the world simutaniously

or even better

have trucks hook up to trains

Train Truck Wombo Combo

[hasty cairn]

We need the thing from Unreal Tournament 3 where you got a hoverboard, and could tow cable yourself behind other vehicles, even aircraft

[honest sleet]

what do you guys do abt those spore flower things? there's a few near my local SAM deposit and i want them gone

[wicked nacelle]

but then people do a second point to point line and a third... and by the time they realize they should do something else then they've got so much poop track that they don't want to go back...

[wicked nacelle]

bombs (nobelisks -- in the sulfur tree in the mam)

or just power through it with nuts 🙂 -- don't be a baby!

[hasty cairn]

Oh you can blow them up? Thanks that helps a lot

[wicked nacelle]

all poison things can be blowed up

[hasty cairn]

It's funny they call it that, btw, probably because Alfred Nobel invented dynamite, and got the first Nobel Prize for it. Hence 'Nobel'-isk

[north summit]

Bomb them

Bomb them again

Bomb them more

[dense violet]

ime the places with those plants tend to not be great spots to build in any case - just going in and building what you need is generally fast enouhg to avoid the poison

[livid geyser]

Finished tier 7/8 now, and I haven’t even made nuclear or nitrogen factory yet.

Mainly because I wanted milestones done so can focus on building what I need to do in the future.

[south sinew]

you need nitrogen for the project parts and not the milestone materials I think

[hasty cairn]

I like to focus on milestones as far as knowing what I need to budget for in terms of space in factory buildings. Like, do I want to include a space for a hypertube terminal?

[pine patrol]

is it just me or does ionized fuel have a slower acent than rocket fuel

[livid geyser]

Yeah, I gathered. I finally made an aluminium factory at least. Just had to bring all the node by belt to a place and built from there.

[honest sleet]

" choo choo mother******"

lol ava go brrr

[wicked nacelle]

it does but rocket fuel is trash in a jetpack

[pine patrol]

how so?

[wicked nacelle]

I'm confused

[pine patrol]

how is rocket fuel garbage in a jetpack is what i mean

[dense violet]

!wikisearch jet_pack

[raven axle]

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

[dense violet]

the fuel qualities should be listed there

[pine patrol]

they are but i dont see how rocket fuel is bad

is it bc it burns to fast?

[dense violet]

some people have hot takes not rooted in reality

[wicked nacelle]

flight time is bad and total vertical is bad too

[livid geyser]

This also gives me an excuse to go back to exploring more.

[pine patrol]

total vertical is topped only by ionized

burn time is really the only bad quality

[dense violet]

RF for jet packs might not last as long as bio fuel, but you have a lot more control over it with a lot more climbing power, you can use it in short bursts so it will last longer that way

[white dawn]

Yeah, I found RF for jetpack to be great

[dense violet]

you generally aren't going to just straight burn all your fuel in one go

[white dawn]

I basically didn't use anything else once I had it available

(Except once I got Ionized, which is also IMO an upgrade)

[dense violet]

while LBIO has 2x the burn time, you need to burn a TON more of it to get a similar affect. Plus not automated

[pine patrol]

LBF is pretty much budget hoverpack

[dense violet]

like it's climb rate isn't quite as high , but it has so much more burn it more than makes up for it imo

[dense violet]

not a bad way to describe it tbh

[pine patrol]

ionized is argueable SLIGHTLY worse than RF

MEANT TO INCLUDE FOR COMBAT**

jesus

[dense violet]

as it'svertical speed isnt' quite as much as RF? sure , but... eh weak arguments

[pine patrol]

just bc its a good bit faster

[dense violet]

I ahve to say I haven't noticed any real negatives fighting with Ionized compared to RF

the change in V speed doesn't seem to impact it much

[pine patrol]

i just think it might be better fighting spitters

[white dawn]

Heh, fair enough; I've not done direct comparisons in that context

[hard ivy]

Better in some cases because your hover is limited by time, not distance from a pole

[dense violet]

really? I use regular fuel for that and it's just fine

[white dawn]

By the time I've gotten to Ionized I've often flipped on Peaceful mode. :)

500 Nuclear Obelisks Versus Annoying Bird

[pine patrol]

lol

[livid geyser]

How many milestones are there in tier 9, btw? Just wondering, it’s gonna be 100s hours away at least

[pine patrol]

i once made a cage with 2 spitters filled the thing with about 30 cluster and 15 nuke

[pine patrol]

ill check in a sec

5

[livid geyser]

Neat. I already know it’s gonna be very challenging but at least I know now

[pine patrol]

not super actually

id say slightly easier than getting oil setup

[white dawn]

Tier 9's a bit of a breather after 7+8 honestly; once you finish Phase 4 you're over the big hump

[pine patrol]

but i havent automated everything in it yet

[livid geyser]

Oh, good stuff

[quick hound]

Yeah, ficsite trigons taste like Doritos, and I love me some Doritos

[pine patrol]

T9 your going to learn to hate the converter and partical excel

[quick hound]

I already hate it.

[pine patrol]

you actually need very few things outside of stuff produced in the converter partical excel and quantum encoder

besides stuff like coal

[reef basin]

why would you hate excel? 🤔

[quick hound]

I didn’t know I’d need to learn excel spreadsheets to play this game

[quick hound]

GREENY! :>

[pine patrol]

too much power. Its slow its big so its annoying to place etc

[quick hound]

That’s what she’d never say </3

[reef basin]

excel? the software for tables?

[charred sandal]

....is it true that smaller belt segments somehow perform worse then longer ones..?

[pine patrol]

exelerator

[pine patrol]

?

[reef basin]

oh, accelerator?

[pine patrol]

i cant spell yes

[reef basin]

yeah was confused why "excel" 😄

[charred sandal]

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2rTf_OKkt88

Idk this guy said 2 smaller segments can cause performance issues compared to single long ones

[pine patrol]

i hate the converter for most of the same reasons as the PE but instead of it being big you need too much sam

[reef basin]

don't trust random youtubers tbh

[charred sandal]

Would prob make me quit if it was true lmao. I assume 1200 is 1200

If I trusted it I wouldn't be asking here..

[quick hound]

What about kibz?

[pine patrol]

performance issues maybe

[reef basin]

definintely don't trust that one

[quick hound]

what’d he do???

[reef basin]

he's an entertainer, not a teacher

[unkempt blade]

Yeah what do youtubers know anyway? They're not smart like chatting with AI

[reef basin]

eh, most youtubers have shockingly small knowledge about the topic they are making advanced videos about

[whole drum]

Definitely let Josh from LGIT be your teacher instead

[unkempt blade]

and they don't even tell me how good my ideas are when they're answering my questions!

[reef basin]

that's the first thing I put into a prompt - that the AI shouldn't do that

[hard ivy]

Recently had a good laugh when someone sent me a youtube video as "proof" of something, except the youtuber made 3 factually incorrect statements within the first 30 seconds

[north summit]

[whole drum]

"Dear AI, when answering my questions please assume I'm r----ed, because it's quite possible. Anyhow, what I want to know is..."

😄

[reef basin]

[whole drum]

(And no, I'm not trying to imply you are, Greeny. I know for a damned fact you're not.)

[pine patrol]

i wouldnt be too suprised if they one day make ada connected to a chat bot of sorts making you able to talk with it kinda how you can in chat

[quick hound]

I definitely am

[whole drum]

We know

[quick hound]

Who is your favourite satis YouTuber?

[hard ivy]

Ask grok to be a bit of an asshole to you when answering and you'll have "ADA at home"

ChatGPT is too much of a bootlicker to be capable of that

[reef basin]

I would be

[pine patrol]

maybe

[reef basin]

pretty much none, haven't yet watched any that I'd like

[quick hound]

Fair

[whole drum]

Not even for entertainment value?

[unkempt blade]

Jason (maybe now he'll get them to add mk2 factory carts)

[north summit]

Who up Sinkin they SAM rn

[reef basin]

if I want entertainment, I play the game myself. I don't find it entertaining to watch other people play the game, unless it's something either teaching or funny

[quick hound]

no.

[quick hound]

What about LGIO?

[reef basin]

don't find that much funny

[unkempt blade]

I can make my own fettucine I don't need their help

[whole drum]

Why so serious?

[reef basin]

(in context of his SF videos)

[north summit]

MK2 Factory Carts have 2 storage instead of one?

[hard ivy]

I only find LGIO (and similar) entertaining. I'm too good at the game to enjoy watching someone fumble around trying to make things work

[north summit]

perfection

now i can hold more Nuts

[whole drum]

For me it depends. There's something fun about watching someone go through the learning curve and figuring stuff out. Almost like vicarious re-experiencing of the game and finding small joys in their victories as they progress. Some people are just too dense, though, and there's nothing really enjoyable about them torturing themselves on stuff that shouldn't be too hard.

[plain gate]

the skill ceilning in satis isn't very high

[reef basin]

I do watch LGIO for other games, but even though I've seen all his SF videos, I just found them below average

[plain gate]

there's nothing that can be learned from watching youtube for some of us

[unkempt blade]

that's why people should roll a dice to pick recipes for them instead of getting all sweaty with "optimizing"

[whole drum]

This is why I don't save scum my hard drives

[plain gate]

optimization is necessary when you max the game out

although yeah it doesn't make much sense for most people

[whole drum]

That's not a new player thing tho

[reef basin]

getting all drives is best optimisation

[plain gate]

in terms of... optimizing which recipes to choose

there is often only one correct recipe in those situations

[whole drum]

The choices are more relevant for the first 30 or so

[reef basin]

correct for given player, sure

not for given choice

[plain gate]

when you max the game out

[whole drum]

Or even for where you are on the map and in your progression

[reef basin]

then there's no "choice" because you're gonna need multiple recipes per item

[whole drum]

By this point you should have all of them

[plain gate]

u mean picking from hard drive rolls or picking which one to use

[unkempt blade]

yeah but like you said the ceiling is low so why not use the "wrong" choice and give yourself a challenge?

[reef basin]

both

[plain gate]

the former i agree

[whole drum]

The point of the former is so you can do the latter

[plain gate]

i dont see how that would much challenging.. can u give an example

[compact flicker]

I think monorail elevators would be cool

-a player trying to move resources to the red forest

[plain gate]

spiral :D

[reef basin]

for the latter it depends on what "maxing out" actually means (but yeah, obviously after that there'll be a single optimal thing to do, though that will very often still include multiple different recipes per item)

[compact flicker]

Good idea thx

[unkempt blade]

I just assume people mean maxing out the number of vehicles because that's the most fun line to make go up

[north summit]

Hard Drives are really nice

I love alternate recipes

[unkempt blade]

I agree, cast screws is a really great recipe

[north summit]

cast screws are the only screws

[plain gate]

biocoal the best :D

[north summit]

besides steel screws

[hard ivy]

No screws are best screws

[sick dragon]

Screw screws

[reef basin]

cast screws are a waste of drive imo

[whole drum]

Steel Screws all day

Steal Screws all day

One is a SF player, the other a meth head

Both adddicts

(How you like my haiku?)

[compact flicker]

Elaborate

[unkempt blade]

It was pretty good
But it needs to talk about
Factory Carts more

[whole drum]

There's only so much room in a haiku tho

😄

[reef basin]

the recipe doesn't do anything relevant to me

• early game you can skip screws with stitched plates which provide more benefits than using cast screws
• after you unlock steel, you have two new options, resource efficient one (steel rod) and space efficient one (steel screw). Cast screws can't beat either of those

the remaining usage of screws is "rotors for T2", which is so small window, that I don't really want to use a drive for that recipe, I'd rather have more recipes that'll be useful throughout the whole game or at least for longer than like 1 hour

[compact flicker]

You make a good argument

[reef basin]

(keep in mind this is my preference, not a hard truth, as with all alt recipes, the choice is yours and there's never "good" or "bad" recipe)

[north summit]

Biocoal

[reef basin]

I stand by what I said

[whole drum]

I see cast screws as similar to steel, but because it's lower efficiency than the default and doesn't save me that much work, I'm okay with the coal usage of going steel to get better volume:space efficiency.

[reef basin]

(the fact that you personally don't like a recipe or don't have use for it doesn't make it objectively bad)

[whole drum]

Correct. I just don't have much use for cast personally.

[reef basin]

oh that was reply to Naki

[whole drum]

Fair enough

[dense violet]

the only way to make uranium rods from pigs

also decent for systems that only need to be on sometimes. Like ammo factories

just dump corpses into a sorting box and get bullets

(or bombs)

[whole drum]

But my Awesome tickets...

[unkempt blade]

🎶 it's the circle of liiiife

[whole drum]

Use bullets to kill animals to use corpses to make coal to make bullets to kill animals...

Or get tickets instead

I'm going with B, lol

[dense violet]

you can get tickets from literally anything

anywhere
automatically

[whole drum]

True, and you can automate ammo too. Pure preference.

[dense violet]

except you have to have coal for some recipes.

this cuts that out and doesn't keep the process going all the time

[whole drum]

I get around that by just taxing the production line for my ammo production, which fills up and stops until I need more

[dense violet]

Hell, just bio mass and SAM could make you anything

[whole drum]

Mostly, I just don't like the fuss of manually feeding things 😛

[grim carbon]

How high can you go with buildings?

[whole drum]

Very

[dense violet]

more than 2km

[grim carbon]

I’m trying different things

@dense violet that’s going up 2km?

[dense violet]

you can check the wiki if you want the actual build height to the death barrier

[grim carbon]

Practically then the sky is the limit?

[dense violet]

might be 2.7km? but it's talked about so little as no one really will every use that height unless they are just wanting to build to the limit

[grim carbon]

Holy cow!!!

[whole drum]

Realistically, what makes building that high impractical is the inconvenience of going back up there whenever you want to work on it

[grim carbon]

Ok

[light shell]

Is there a way to destroy multiple things at the same time, fast & easy ?

[grim carbon]

Yes

[dense violet]

dismantle? hold ctrl

[hard ivy]

Death zone to death zone is about 2300 m iirc? Subtract some for the DOT zones and you should be left with basically 2 full kilometres of theoretical height.

But if you start at terrain level, then it's gonna be more like 1.5-1.8 km

[grim carbon]

Still, WAY too high

[quick hound]

I’m tempted to make a water using base at the sky limit just because..

[whole drum]

Yeah, but the short answer is basically you're free to build vertically to even some unreasonable degree

[reef basin]

afaik it's almost 2km from ocean height

[grim carbon]

Build it and take pics to show us

[quick hound]

gilga, btw I passed the absolute fuck out yesterday.. on the floor

[whole drum]

Build a 1.5km super water tower that feeds your entire factory across the map so you only have to do headlift once

[grim carbon]

Is there a way to build a boat to travel across water?

[whole drum]

If there was a way to build objects that you could push around, maybe, but I don't think so

[quick hound]

👁️ 👄 👁️

OH. MY GOD.. I learned if you stayed dead for long enough, flies start flying around your body ingame

[whole drum]

Something similar happens if you sleep on the floor long enough

[quick hound]

no, you just wake up with crippling back pain

[grim carbon]

You guys are funny

If you’re dead for long enough in the right place vultures will take you piece by piece

[whole drum]

Sure, but looks aren't everything

[quick hound]

I meant ingame

[grim carbon]

Me too

[quick hound]

Give me coffee

[grim carbon]

What kind of build mode is ‘zoop’?

[dense violet]

try it

[brazen coral]

Horizontal

[whole drum]

I told you before, only productive pioneers get coffee

[brazen coral]

Unless you're building with ramps or catwalk ramps then it goes vertical

[whole drum]

It lets you build in a line instead of one by one

[quick hound]

I was productive today, I built a ficsite Frigon farm and a time crystal farm

[grim carbon]

Like when you build belts

[quick hound]

Plez coffeeh

[brazen coral]

Yep, just keeps adding more until you get to a maximum of 10 foundations at a time

[grim carbon]

Cool

[quick hound]

COFFEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[grim carbon]

So you can build more and quicker as long as you have the resources

[brazen coral]

Blueprint does it better if you want to just lay down some flat foundations like that

[grim carbon]

I have coffee and I’m not too productive

[whole drum]

But you got your own

[compact flicker]

I have created a blueprint that looks like a monorail spring

[brazen coral]

Is there a tool available that tells the production line for how to get to parts? Can somebody link that for me please?

My brain is not cooperating to see a production line I need xD

[dense violet]

whats the other setting going to a bin?

are you using a low mk belt on it?

You need to use any towards storage and overflow to the sink

I have the item going left, overflow center, nothing right. Mk4 belts on all of them

[dense violet]

do you have more than 1 item type on it?

[potent pond]

Just the one item

[dense violet]

you might have a piece of low mk belt hidden in there I guess? could muck it up

delete everything and rebuild it

Everything seems to be flying full tilt in both directions.

how do you run multiple trucks from one factory to another without them all just smooshing into each other and getting stuck?

OK! 4 am, just finished the basics of my first factory. Produces:

• screws
• quickwire
• reinforced iron plate
• cables
• quartz cristals
• silica
• concrete
• wire
• copper sheet
• iron plates
• iron rods

So all basic needs. Just some electrical stuff and architectural shit to polish and I can FINALLY move on to my 2nd factory that will produce:

• modular frame
• rotor
• steel beam
• steel pipe
• smart plating
• versatile framework
• stator
• motor
• automated wiring

And that will be all for Phase 2. I think I’ll do my steel factory at the Blue Crater, I can easily add some power tower to get there, not far from my Grass Field stone arch 1st factory.

[wicked nacelle]

love the "efficiency" of pure vanilla alluminum production with no external quartz

like 400 bauxite per aluminum ingot

[plain gate]

wha.....?

isn't the ratio 1 to 1

[wicked nacelle]

you have to throw out excess scrap that you can't process from the silica byproduct

[plain gate]

oh you mean using the silica recipe

[wicked nacelle]

I said vanilla 😛

I guess I meant "no alt"

[plain gate]

oh mb lmao i saw pure and just thought pure ingots

[wicked nacelle]

yeah I haven't gotten that yet

i usually rush hoverpack with minimal exploration

[grim carbon]

Is there a ladder of some kind when you start buildings floors?

[wicked nacelle]

there are but there's a jetpack and then a hoverpack that's the real answer

I suggest not building up until you at least have jetpack

[grim carbon]

Ok

When do I get that?

[lyric hull]

does anyone know the same of a blueprint on satisfactory calc that takes packaged fuel and turnes it into turbofuel

[wicked nacelle]

oil is phase after coal - you get it early in oil phase

[grim carbon]

I see

[wicked nacelle]

I don't but... that doesn't seem that complicated. make it yourself

[lyric hull]

ya ig

[wicked nacelle]

the hard part is getting the inputs there not making the buildings

[sharp basin]

About architecture, I MIGHT not do ALL the polishing right now. I mean I can come back to it later when I’m better at it, and shit, 100 hours just on my 1st factory. Gotta move on. 💨

No idea how I’ll design my steel factory though.

[dense violet]

make a basic plan for TF , then break it down into chunks and fit chunks into a BP

[lyric hull]

ok ty

[sharp basin]

I mean, like, a versatile framework floor is already a big floor.

Or smart plating floor.

Even if I start at 120 ore/min.

[wicked nacelle]

120 ore a minute is not the time to start the master plan for factory building

[sharp basin]

Anyway for now, everything I do starts at 120 ores/min. Already fills the countainers pretty fast.

[feral geyser]

Containers of ore?

[sharp basin]

I can go up to 270 with my MK3 belts, that’s it for now.

[sharp basin]

No, never stock ore.

[feral geyser]

Okay, thank goodness

[abstract heron]

I am debating on doing iron wire?

but i have much much iron

[feral geyser]

The only time you should have containers of ore is if you are putting it in trains

[wicked nacelle]

and then only temporarily while you are docking

[feral geyser]

Iron Wire is okay

Copper wire is better conversion and faster per machine

Plus 99 times out of 100, copper is also nearby

[sharp basin]

You mean I should do 240 for all my MK2 miners for my steel factory? With corresponding number of machines?

[dense violet]

too much iron? not an issue.

[abstract heron]

i have like probbaly 50k or more idk cobalt of iron

[sharp basin]

@wicked nacelle Got it.

[dense violet]

make as much wire as you need - what's the issue?

[abstract heron]

Idk if i should make much much iron wire i am making factorys of factorys

[dense violet]

make it when you need it. It doesn't sound like you need it

You keep making up fake problems

[abstract heron]

i don't think i am

[grim carbon]

Is there a wiki I can look at?

[dense violet]

what is the iron wire going to be used for?

[feral geyser]

For screws and wire, you make it directly in front of the machines using them

[abstract heron]

idk yet probaly to make other items

[feral geyser]

That way you don't have to guess how much you need or deal with belting it everywhere

[dense violet]

then you don't need any wire. Don't make it until you know what you're making

see? fake problem

[abstract heron]

not fake problem but i am debating want to make with it

[dense violet]

use a tool to plan a factory - see if it neesd wire, then make it

question for a diluted fuel loop how many canisters should i feed it iv got 10 packagers packaging water 10 refineries making diluted P fuel and 10 packagers unpackaging the fuel

[dense violet]

if you go packager > refinery > packager in one loop? a stack or less

for each section

[dire tapir]

iv got them 10 in a manifold

[feral geyser]

Don't manifold them

[dense violet]

manifolding these systems is generally more awkward

[feral geyser]

The whole process can go 1:1:1

[dense violet]

do a self contained loop. It's easier to manage

[feral geyser]

I have a blueprint if you want

[dire tapir]

i cant blueprint it doesnt fit

[feral geyser]

Yes it does

I have one

cant I buffer them with smart splitter and priority mergers there for no matter how many I have they wont back up?

[abstract heron]

I want to have all basic items cobalt up to probbaly HMF or something else higher

[dense violet]

make a plan

https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production

that will tell you how much wire you need

[abstract heron]

How much HMF do is good to make

[dense violet]

1000pm

[abstract heron]

i also want to make stuff for my depo also

[dense violet]

make a plan then

[abstract heron]

🤔

[lofty forge]

oh thats easy you just steal some from your production line. throw a splitter in that goes to dimensional depot. done

[dense violet]

I don't know how that's confusing

[hushed basin]

What a reasonable amount of alum casing and sheets to make?

[abstract heron]

Its not but i have so much iron and copper and bit of conrete

[dense violet]

if you have no goal, flip a coin and split the production in half for casings/sheets

[dense violet]

... so make a plan? you keep saying things that aren't problems

[quick stone]

~10/m is fine, I have 4 'heavy encased frame' alternates and that's plenty

[hushed basin]

You reckon 100 to 200 a min would work I see it's used it quite abit so wanna do it right so I don't have to come back later to it

[median rain]

Should I switch to petroleum as soon as possible once I unlock it?

[abstract heron]

i took all to Dune Desert cayon and Dune Desert ore and made it with refeinrys

[dense violet]

you'll have to at some point unless you just rely on stored items and don't do much else besides the phase. Future proofing is a fools gambit

wastes more effort than anything saved

[hushed basin]

Yeah that's true I'll just go with whatever for now then

[median rain]

Because I already have a giant coal factory with 32 generators and it can barely handle my factory

[dense violet]

do 64 - that can keep you to tier 7 pretty easily https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/558721941410807812/1439217940141441107/image.png?ex=69239ae8&is=69224968&hm=14c6cbbbcb2f9cad4b723f855f482a72185bd48d07a65181e9735fb1fd523e94&=&format=webp&quality=lossless&width=550&height=299

64 coal is a fairly reasonable number if you don't do fuel early

[glass pagoda]

Just finished my hyper tube that takes me from the desert to the red bamboo jungle becuse I have an oil plant there. Can't wait to disassemble it when I unlock oil power

[dense violet]

And it was from the great canyons to the red bamboo so that's like a long distance

Instead of making a hyper tube cannon i made a hyper tube that took me from canyons to red

[dense violet]

but why take it apart?

[glass pagoda]

Cuz I want to be able to enjoy the nature even though... yeah why should I take it apart. I guess I won't but if it makes the world too ugly I will

#off-topic-media message

[dense violet]

is that in game?

[remote orbit]

I'm so confused by coal power man 😭 I've made up a mock power plant (32 coal genes with 8 petrol plants on top) and I've figured out the water situation but im not able to get a stable amount of coal out?? I've got a mk2 miner pumping out 480 coal on mk4 conveyor but there's like 2 - 4 that aren't getting coal consistently to be making power 24/7 anyone have any ideas what it could be?

[whole drum]

If you're on a manifold, it takes awhile for them all to fill

[dense violet]

you could have done anyt number of things wrong - do some overhead images of your set up in #math-and-meta or #1038092680493801533

[lofty forge]

have you calculated how much 32 gens use?

[remote orbit]

Yeah 480 coal per minute

[dense violet]

it could also just be that the manifold haven't spun things up

[lofty forge]

with 32 gens manifold-not-being-full-yet is the issue probably

[remote orbit]

Ahh ok thx, so it'll take a bit for them to all kick up, i had a feeling it'd be smth along those lines, just wanted to be sure 😅

[lofty forge]

you can speed up the process by manually filling up the later coal gens i you'd like. or just filling gens

also a side info if the /min of the product is the exact same as the belt /min the last one will never fill up. it will be barely constantly on, at 100% efficiency still

[turbid tangle]

@leaden turret More than 1,200 https://ficsit.app/

[median geyser]

Is there a way to grab already placed blueprints for quick building the same way I can middle mouse on a foundation or something?

[gentle lion]

level of conveyor belt helps fill faster? I'm about to uograde my 4 coal deposits to mk2 miners so instead of 60/60/60/120 it will be double that?

I want to rerun the conveyors so I can add more coal gens

[median geyser]

Conveyors will generally be your speed limit, yeah. And yes, mk2 miners are a direct double of the mk1. You dont need to re-run persay, just pick your new belt level, look at existing belt, and itll let you "upgrade" it

Oh I misread that last part, re-run as neccesary 🙏

[remote orbit]

That's kind of cringe, but makes sense, so I'd be better off running 28 genes instead of 32 until I get mk5 conveyor to transport excess coal?

[gentle lion]

Well I made a mess of them whne I laid them out. I want to redo the patching of them

[crude ether]

is there a way to prioritise one belt over another? e.g. i want to get rid of all my bauxite from storage first before my miner starts sending bauxite through. any way to do that?

[median geyser]

Always good to clean things up when you can 🙏 A very good habit to establish early

[dense violet]

middle mouse click

[median geyser]

it just grabs the item im looking at

[lofty forge]

you can if you want. it will still fuel the gens, just barely. if you dont like how that looks thats up to you

[dense violet]

thereps a bp build mode

[median geyser]

As said in the same msg you replied to 😂

[dense violet]

probably use that

like when you go to dismantle in BP mode

[gentle lion]

The three that are 60 each do I just run them all to one merger ? Then run single conveyer ? The 120 ones come from a ways away ...or just merge the 180 with the 120

[remote orbit]

By barely do u mean it'll be burning off coal at the same rate it gets fed coal?

[lofty forge]

yes. new one goes in juuuusst before the other one ends. or at the exact moment

[median geyser]

Middle mousing while I have bp mode engaged is doing nothing. Is there a toggle or something? Every time Ive been building, my build gun has defaulted to... well, default 😂

[odd fox]

#screenshots message i blew up the whole pink forest biome because i didnt like the spiders ambushing me from the trees.

[dense violet]

were you in BP dismantle mode? where if you go to dismantle it'll select the whole bp?

[median geyser]

Wait you need to grab bps from dismantle bp mode and not... build bp mode? The fuck?

I got it now, tyvm

[remote orbit]

That's fine then 😂 along as its making power consistently idc lol 😂, also do u have any suggestions on how to transport enough fuel from my oil processing plant? Just have the trains running back and forth with fuel??

[dense violet]

burn it on location - needs no transport

[median geyser]

Should have clipped it 😂

[crude ether]

anyone know?

[odd fox]

I got one blowing up like 120 nuke nobelisks at once

[remote orbit]

Truee, I keep on trying to centralised all my stuff, im guessing do the same with the liquid packaging that needs to be done and put them into dimensional depots?

[median geyser]

There's an unlock called a priority merger. does this exactly

[dense violet]

Priority merger I guess? if both are there though just feed your fresh bauxite into storage too

[crude ether]

ahhh kk thank you!

[dense violet]

if you want it for a jet pack? I guess. But centralising things for no reason is a ton of effort, usually looks hideous and will be a mess

[median geyser]

is there a way to set my build gun to default to the blueprints tab when I hit Q? Or a shortcut key I can press after Q to quickly snap to bps?

[lofty forge]

the longer you carry a liquid the more unreliable (inconsistent flow [no explosion mechanics just the wrong /min]) it gets, if you want a reliable transport i would suggest burning them on-site. if you have to carry them then make sure that your pipes are full, this way liquids become more constant (flow) . and avoid buffers if you can.

[dense violet]

probably not

[ocean frost]

You can put blueprints into your hotbar

[dense violet]

make up a BP hot bar if you're flipping through them that fast

[remote orbit]

That's y I was thinking of packaging the liquid and shoving them into a train and sending it to my base it'll probably only be the necessities like excess fuel for personal use

[ocean frost]

Pipelines I would stick 80% of the pipes capacity

Packaged fuel is really great,

[whole drum]

DD is a simpler solution for this

[remote orbit]

DD?

[whole drum]

Personal use fuel, I mean

Dimensional Depot. Do the SAM research in the MAM.

NO NO NO! I DRANK ROCKET FUELLLL IT WAS YUM LIKE A PINEAPPLE JUICE SMOOTHIE

[lofty forge]

i mean. are you just using on jetpack or do want to unpack massive amounts of fuel whereever you are? if its just for jetpack then you can just package a bit of it, put in the dimensional depot and you are done, no trains required, and there is no way you are burning through 200+ packaged fuel with just a jetpack, while the dimensional depot continuously refills.

Also is there a way to unload stuff from a dimensional depot? I'm about to start making a manufacturing plant and will most likely need it for manufacturer items, or can machines use the dimensional depot aswell?

[wicked nacelle]

from your inventory but you can't use it for automation

[dense violet]

pull the stacks from your inventory

[remote orbit]

I thought so

[dense violet]

if you want to teleport items, use drones

[quick hound]

TERROR YOU NEVERANSWEREDME

[merry granite]

Does disabling factories help with performance compared to just destroying them? I've built a fair bit in the past few days and my gameworld has gone from an average of 100fps to 50fps

[quick hound]

DO YOU WANT SUM OF THIS YUMMY THRBO FUEL?

[remote orbit]

How about trains?

[lofty forge]

i dont know how often you use fuel but maybe just do 7 generators with the remaining being packaged for personal use. or just do 8 with a packager and D. depot and steal some fuel from your powerplants whenever you need fuel

[wicked nacelle]

yes, any transportation system is essentially just a belt extension

[quick hound]

HEY XAX, IF YOUR STRUGGLING WITH TRACTORS USE FACTORY CARTS WHEEEE

[lofty forge]

stealing becomes a lot more reliable if you let the packager and DD fill up completely first

[remote orbit]

I mainly use it to slow myself down when I use my hypertube cannons and to scale mountains so not super often

[remote orbit]

Bet, time to play with trains im going to regret this

[quick hound]

they are less 'teleporty'

[quick hound]

I forgot to upgrade a single pipe and spent 2 hours looking through my mess of pipes

[dense violet]

though belts require no thought and do the same job - so simpler in that way

[lofty forge]

my vote is on stealing a bit from your 8 plants. it will probably be fine. and if there are problems you can instantly solve your issue by deleting 1 plant

[remote orbit]

Hell yeah 😎

[quick hound]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY COFFEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[remote orbit]

Bet, I might hold off on the 8 petrol genes for now as I've got 5 powering my oil plant

[lofty forge]

if you want reliability dont forget to completely fill up belts, DD and the packager inventory. that way any excess fuel will be automatically sorted to the generators (cuz no space, duh)

[quick hound]

[light shell]

Is the only way to achieve high production, like concrete, where I need mulitples spot of raw materials, to unite all of those into a single building and must having hundred of spaghetti conveyors converging all in one building ?

How do people achieve this without having hundred of highways everywhere on their maps....

[dense violet]

? plan sections - you don't need it all in one spot

[dire tapir]

up until now im only using like 5 gw most of that is my HMF and EIB factory pl;us my starter factory but thats small in comparison

[light shell]

I dont see myself having thousands of miccro factories just for concrete tho

[dense violet]

You don't need to, just for the sections that need it

build hubs in different sections. Using either local resources and or importing whatever extra you need

But if you don't plan a factory from the end point - and every section that needs building, yes it will be a mess

I’m Canadian, so I don’t think that was here

[little shale]

Does compacted coal generate more power in a coal generator?

[teal crater]

Ah hell

[whole drum]

We used to watch Bozo the Clown and The Forbidden Temple (Nickelodeon)

[pine patrol]

ye

[teal crater]

Yeah IG was great

[pine patrol]

not more power but it lasts longer than normal coal

[abstract heron]

do me need to touch grass?

[teal crater]

Yo wait

[quick hound]

Go go gadget get me some bitches.. it failed.. fuck

[teal crater]

Any Mystery Incorporated fans?

[whole drum]

The generators produce the same power, but use less fuel/m, allowing you to build more gens

[pine patrol]

ye

[quick hound]

Remember when shaggy wasn’t BLACK? And scooby wasn’t WHITE?

[teal crater]

Why did you say it like that

[abstract heron]

What are we saying?

[quick hound]

cause they ruined scooby doo

that shit was my childhood

[teal crater]

It was bad writing more than anything

Not a design choice that ruined it

[quick hound]

It didn’t help

[whole drum]

Pretty sure this convo can't go anywhere good. Subject change, please.

[quick hound]

oh my god, remember Jimmy Two Shoes? Or Johnny Test?

[abstract heron]

this convo is better in dms or in #off-topic-general

[crude ether]

wheres the go to place to get mods?

[abstract heron]

modding server

[crude ether]

are mods not centralized mostly in one place e.g. nexus mods/steam workshop or some other mod site?

[dense violet]

ficsit.app is where you download everything

[abstract heron]

That and mod manger

[crude ether]

ty!

[merry granite]

What tends to lag satisfactory? I built a railway that probably has like over 6000 objects and im wondering if that caused my FPS to go from 100 to 50 fps over the course of buuilding it

[dense violet]

have you played through the tiers of hte game before?

[abstract heron]

or aleast what i do run a test save

[dense violet]

many objects - but signs and lighting in particular

[merry granite]

I placed maybe like 300 streetlights for my railway but they dont provide light unless im pretty close. Would they still cause significant lag?

I have a post a few posts up in #screenshots showcasing it; not sure how to optimize it but its really hurting my ability to move forward with the game at 50fps, and i havent even done any aluminum or nuclear yet

I also ahve some other factories but the railway is by far, where most of the objects are and my FPS lowered significantly after building it

and If i wanted to expand this railway ive built across the world that means MANY thousands more objects if i had to estimate so, sort of wondering if I've messed up by making a complex nice-ish looking railway?

[dense violet]

unclear but possibly

does it stay 50fps even far away? and 50 fps is pretty reasonable

[merry granite]

far away yeah

it might be reasonable super end game

but I still have alot to do and my framerate halfed from 1 little railway

so im not gonna be able to get to that endgame at this rate

[dense violet]

do you have things like SCIM running in the background? or a lot of browser tabs?

[merry granite]

I underclock my gpu to 200mhz from 310mhz because otherwise the fans are insanely loud

I dont have much running in the background

im running it in proton on linux though im not as much interested in generally making my PC faster more so optimising my game

[dense violet]

how long since you've reformated your operating system drive?

[merry granite]

reinstalled a monthish ago

[dense violet]

reinstalled isn't quite the same as doing a thorough reformat

[merry granite]

i wiped my previous linux install

and reinstalled a new distro

so im good in that regard

so I suppose I should try removing the streetlights

and see how the fps changes, anything else significant to take note of?

[dense violet]

prob not have as many items in your BPs as well, and drop quality

many objects is going ot impact things

like I was hitting 47fps ish while in here https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/932761153703149659/1318079364377743471/image.png?ex=6923e591&is=69229411&hm=7021e3987accf066d5b440daaa9825e7a9c2ad9f21bd69c8459c9c003c10fa36&=&format=webp&quality=lossless&width=1264&height=821

[merry granite]

yeah okay

whats weird is it seems to be all over the map

i built this railway in the dunes and i went to the swamp where there is literally nothing built and still got 50fps

[quick hound]

Bro I’m using my dog as a pillow.. he’s so soft and I’m about to fall asleep

[tawdry quartz]

where would yall build ur steel farms

[quick hound]

At build limit

[merry granite]

wherever theres iron and coal

in the same spot

[full thorn]

Where did you spawn

[tawdry quartz]

im like trying to not do it in the same spot in my last playthrough

[tawdry quartz]

i spawned desert but rn im in the greens farming all the iron

[full thorn]

I’ve yet gone to the desert

[quick hound]

the sand tastes like sand

[quick hound]

Redbull man, should I go to sleep? My dog pillow is so soft..

[merry granite]

read a book

then go to sleep

[quick hound]

but if I move he’ll leave

[merry granite]

see how many times you can kick your feet in the air without bending your knees before your legs get tired

[quick hound]

what?

[whole drum]

Do leg lifts

[quick hound]

I’m trying to sleep

[icy jetty]

squats

[merry granite]

do a chicago sunroof

@dense violet I figured it out, I never relaunched the game and I was playing for 4 hours when i got the bad fps, I forgot the game has a memory leak so its good upon relaunch now

[merry mountain]

is it just me or are mk 2 belts way more expensive compared to mk 3 belts

[whole drum]

I don't think so

One is just processed iron. The other is iron+coal.

[merry granite]

i can see that, you can make alot more steel beams faster than you can make reinforced iron plates iirc

[mortal ginkgo]

it kinda is. Not alot expensive but cost is there.

[merry granite]

when I unlocked tier 3 belts, I pretty much just used those everywhere instead of mk2 or mk1 because I would never have a problem running out

that hasnt happened with tier 4 belts yet, im still being a little sparing with those

[steel kelp]

what is a sensible amount of crysta oscillators per min to go for

i was gonna do 100 but that seems like overkill lmao, is 20 good?

[merry granite]

For me, I just do whatever i feel like I need and double it for fun

[whole drum]

How many do you need?

[steel kelp]

10 for the space elevator part i need to make

but idk if teleporters need them, i think theyre just singularity cells only?

[whole drum]

Okay, so many of that part can you make per min?

[steel kelp]

well i mean i can make however many i want lol

i think ill just go with 30

[whole drum]

What I'm saying is that the number of parts/min you need is based on what you need them for

[odd fox]

#screenshots message 15 gw

[steel kelp]

if i had this philosophy i wouldnt be asking how many i need lol

i just dont know if theyre needed in anything else beyond the spelevator parts and the teleporter research

[whole drum]

Right, so build what you need them for right now, maybe a few extra for your DD, and just build more later if it comes up

[steel kelp]

no id rather just plan accordingly now lol like what

[whole drum]

Then look it up and see how many you need, lol

[steel kelp]

hence why im asking?

not helpful in the slightest lol

[whole drum]

Ask 100 people and you'll get 200 answers, lol

[merry granite]

Chatgpt gave me a pretty good answer on this btw, I was just curious so i checked

[steel kelp]

im just gonna make 30, your advice was reasonable

[merry granite]

if your scaling for late game, 100+

late-late game*

late game, 30-50, early game, 10-20

[steel kelp]

oh i meant superposition oscillators

not crystal

oops

[whole drum]

If it's just for proj parts, those require a fixed number, so you can easily figure out how many you need in total and just work out how long you want it to take

[wicked nacelle]

And sloop them to halve it

[void girder]

What happened to the rocky desert spawn? Where is the lake?!

[dense violet]

RD has a couple ponds and a creek?

[whole drum]

There's a small lake on the south side

Near the waterfall pond

[tawdry quartz]

guys ive started a steel factory and rn all the math is adding up this is a bad sign

theres gon be an issue somewhere

[wheat dirge]

what should i even be doing? im new so its a bit much. should i focus on making a factory for every item and stock piling every item in separate containers. or just make a factory to auto craft what i need in the moment then delete it?

[tawdry quartz]

start with more simple designs and overtime youll progress and unlock oil etc and doing it slowly will defo help you understand the game and its machinery

[dense violet]

you essentially need every basic part for eveyr later part - just make stuff as you need, over flow extras to containers, connect up new factories

but mostly? learn. The tiers are basically a tutorial. You could make the ugliest most inneficient factories and still complete the phases. That in itself is not a challenge

[tawdry quartz]

take mine in #design-and-architecture it looks really bad but it produces adequate materials so that all of my dimensional depots are fine

[dense violet]

dismantle

[tawdry quartz]

inside a pipe is quite an achivement

[wheat dirge]

im more concerned with i now need stuf for tier 1 of space elevator and am wondering if i scrap and get rid of the 6 auto crafters for the main resources i have. so i can make room yk? or do i just start building rotor factory's and stuff somewhere else

[feral geyser]

Build an independent factory for project parts

[dense violet]

you have infinite room and it's basically impossible to use all the resources on the map

[tawdry quartz]

i would recommend expanding where you already are and adding little factories like if you look at #design-and-architecture ill send a pic of my first copper farm

[silk ocean]

I have the design capabilities of an amoeba

Foundations is as far as I go xD

[crude ether]

how do i get help with a rail problem i have, cant post images nor links to images

[silk ocean]

Here xD

[dense violet]

literally every other channel can have images

[silk ocean]

Yea put images elsewhere and chit chat here

[dense violet]

this is a terrible channel for trouble shooting

#math-and-meta or #1038092680493801533
you can actually look at the images people post and it's not in hte middle of everyone chatting

[silk ocean]

Such a spoiler xD

[crude ether]

then why are my messages being deleted even in other channels....

[whole drum]

It's almost like setting it up this way was a terrible idea, lol

[crude ether]

just tried to make a post in questions and help

[silk ocean]

Ignore the Cobalt of DOOM xD

[dense violet]

You can't type just words in #screenshots

[whole drum]

No, they're pretty helpful and knowledgeable in general

[crude ether]

oh just a retarded rule i guess. pasting an image is fine, using postimg dot cc not fine...

[crude ether]

i didnt post in screenshots

[silk ocean]

Just ask the gosh darn train questions XD

More chat about asking than.... asking

[feral geyser]

Or better yet, use #1038092680493801533 and start a thread, you can post both images and text in there, and replies will be nice and grouped up and tidy

[silk ocean]

Just ask xD

I bet it's a simple solution

[crude ether]

train t junction signal problem.

idk how to ask it in a simple question thats the point

signals just arent working, but are working just fine at an identical t junction i have elsewhere

[silk ocean]

So a path T or a normal T

[whole drum]

What are you trying to do, and what is it doing isntead?

[crude ether]

check my post in questions and help

[silk ocean]

Uh oh

[crude ether]

https://discord.com/channels/370472939054956546/1442067011063644391

[silk ocean]

Okay immediate view

You need spacers

[crude ether]

spacers?

[silk ocean]

What the heck is a spacer?

[feral geyser]

They have a thread there

[silk ocean]

A short piece of track

[feral geyser]

Go answer in there

[silk ocean]

2 blocks long

Signals look good, you just need spacers

[median geyser]

So while cleaning I think I accidentally hit something on my keyboard, and now my train has this weird highlight on it? Anyone know what I might have done?

[feral geyser]

It just happens sometimes, hover it with dismantle tool and it should clear

[median geyser]

That's... a weird thing to have randomly happen. Ty

[silk ocean]

Drunkshaders? xD

[median geyser]

?

[silk ocean]

"Hit keyb by mistake when drunk"

[median geyser]

It cleared as expected with the dismantle hover. Thanks again

[feral geyser]

Not everyone is an alcoholic like you 😒 😭 😂 (teasing)

[silk ocean]

Have spacers solved your life? xD

[silk ocean]

This is a true fact XD

[median geyser]

Last time I got proper drunk was probably 3 years ago, and before that at least a decade :p

[feral geyser]

I don't drink to get sloppy drunk

I have one or two beers and I'm done

[silk ocean]

I think this might be where we differ XD

[feral geyser]

And i haven't even done that in maybe 3-4 years

[median geyser]

I drink because I dont like people and Im forced to attend social events :p

[winter fable]

We really should get that brewery in the game, alcohol talk again

[silk ocean]

I can relate to that too XD

[feral geyser]

Paleberry wine

[winter fable]

Nut alcohol

[silk ocean]

Oh there has to be a Scotch channel xD

[winter fable]

Scotchish factory

[feral geyser]

That sounds worse than intended

[silk ocean]

Call it #single-malt xD

[winter fable]

I mean, there were nuts in the game right?

[silk ocean]

Beryl Nuts

[feral geyser]

nut butter

[winter fable]

Beryl nut vodka or something

[crude ether]

no they made it messier and uglier and didnt fix the issue lmao but thanks

[feral geyser]

creamy nut

[winter fable]

Yesss peanutbutter factory automated

No wait its berylnutbutter then

[silk ocean]

Wat xD

It can be tidy

[crude ether]

wasnt necessary, and only added a bunch of extra ugly rail switches

[silk ocean]

Yea.. the bad solution

Should listen to papa Zatie

This is why you don't post in questions and answers xD

[feral geyser]

Bruh

[odd fox]

i need another 35 GW of energy before my batteries run out

[dense violet]

turn off some factories

[silk ocean]

Fuel Powerplant

Don't turn stuff off xD

Build

[odd fox]

they all on the same grid

[silk ocean]

Build a new powerplant

[odd fox]

Im gonna build some more nuclear

[silk ocean]

Nuclear maybe, just build alt fuel

Nuclear is okay IF you strictly control the supply chain

[odd fox]

Yea

Ive got a good supply for nuclear at the moment

it produces like 90 percent of my 25 GW at the moment

[silk ocean]

Then make sure that is highly protected
