The sort of glitchy character-accent-heavy text styling often used to imply lovecraftian horror type things. An internet search for "zalgo" should bring up some examples (shouldn't be anything untoward in there)

[unkempt blade]

it's a ficsmas miracle!

[unique siren]

should i use fluid traincars?

or is it just better to avoid them?

[reef basin]

they are completely fine

[unique siren]

how does the loading and unloading work?

do i just use a valve to get desired throughput?

[reef basin]

never use valves

[unique siren]

what, really?

[reef basin]

same as with solids

[reef basin]

yeah, they provide nothing useful and are often source of issues

[unique siren]

?

do i just run them through a reservoir

sry buffer

[reef basin]

f.e. like this #design-and-architecture message

[unique siren]

ahh that makes sense

why r the channels misspelled lmao

[unique siren]

probably on purpose to see if anyone would notice

they are fine for me, you are reading them wrong

[unique siren]

are you trolling?

yes it is

They are mispelled and I am telling he is reading them wrong. Like God DAMN brotherman.

You can make creatures passive, you know? Then you can hunt for slugs.

In the game settings.

And in advanced game settings you can also disable stingers.

Well that ain't immersion enough for me. That thing look like a horrific monstoristy and chill at the same time?

[short root]

You have a point.

[mortal ginkgo]

Nah bro. I like fighting with them when I grow the balls.

[short root]

I do it the same way.

[mortal ginkgo]

I still remember the time I jumped to a stinger that was landing on top of me and killed him with shatter rebar gun

my ONLY problem is that I can't understand if its a small stinger or a large stinger from distance, they look same kek

I had hope until the very end it might make it into the game but alas it wasnt meant to be

[unique siren]

i fucking love building rail lines

my body is a machine that turns concrete, steel pipes and beams into infrastructure

[mortal ginkgo]

while I would wish it to be happening, I can see a few good reasons why the case it is:

• It is too large, WAY too large to go after the pioneer who is nimble, got jetpacks and all that.
• So its obvious attack is sending 50+ swarms, not something you can kill even with turbo rifle before at least 10 reaches you, which means death.
• Even if there was a way to force it go melee and not spawn those things, since there is no dodge/shield mechanic, either the attacks should be easy to avoid or there should be a dodge move to avoid that.

Also I am sure it is cool to see it once or twice, but the crab spawners are annoying as it is, and this guy would be just modded out.

Also I checked the E3 2018 trailer. Man those rods were truly THICC, like DAMN BOY thicc, like HOLY thicc.

@leaden turret epic games login is optional right? Not mandatory to play the game singleplayer.

[white dawn]

I think one thing was that the way they implemented pathfinding just didn't work at all for a mob that large

Though more-official clips from CSS are found here: https://archive.satisfactory.video/topics/environment/creatures/crab-boss/

yeah well I checked the video, they mainly talk about "how it wouldn't be fun to see such a menacing thing to have while most players like to explore and make factories."

[primal obsidian]

hey something seems off with the =name of this channel

i just cant quit putmy finger on it

[unkempt blade]

just need to make it fly instead of walk, problem enhanced!

[white dawn]

Impossible! The community managers wouldn't allow something like that. :D

@sacred trail (re: #screenshots message ) -- There is a known bug in the game where drones can seemingly get "stuck." I believe a quit+reload tends to kick them into gear. CSS are aware and working on it

(also, if you need to ask a question which involves a screenshot, #1038092680493801533 is by far a better place for it)

[mortal ginkgo]

this game was always named "satsifactroy", what do you mean? do you need your glasses maybe? ask in #1038092680493801533 if you need glasses or not grandpa

huh guess im not that observany

gonna go build a superposition oscillator factroy

That's not right

[unkempt blade]

totally normal behavior for a lizard and/or doggo!

[tall rune]

I would just expect one or the other.

[languid marlin]

Maybe their eyelids protect from debris but they lick to moisten their eyes

[tall rune]

I need to find one thats asleep to see if it has 2 sets of eyelids like a dog

[white dawn]

Maybe their eyes are just really tasty?

[languid marlin]

All I can think of is that their eyelids are dry

[tall rune]

Actually I'm wrong, dogs actually have 3

[languid marlin]

Like earth dogs?

[tall rune]

yeah

[languid marlin]

Have 3 eyelids?

[short root]

Perhaps rot13 is the way to go?

[tall rune]

I guess it is 3 total, not 3 sets

[languid marlin]

Where's the third??

[grave sage]

How do the presents work?? I can’t unlock the progression tree

[white dawn]

There's also an Advent Calendar in your HUB (next to the crafting bench area, not in the main "living" area)

The Advent Calendar will occasionally give you an item needed to progress further in the MAM tree

Also where is my snow biome devs? Hello? @devs

You snow biome is in your HUB. Didn't you see? 😄

Unlikely to happen, fwiw: https://archive.satisfactory.video/topics/environment/biomes/unplanned-biomes/snow/

(although I admit I've not watched the most recent clips. Perhaps they've changed their minds!)

[languid marlin]

So they must have 3 on each eye, otherwise it's asymmetrical

[tall rune]

Thats what I meant

[languid marlin]

Whats the second?

And why'd we get ripped off with only having one?

That stinks.

[tall rune]

3 eyelids per eye

not 3 sets

We probably got ripped off because we have hands

[languid marlin]

Oh yeah

Dogs got ripped off by not having hands

[heavy mauve]

day 1 asking for bidirectional trains

[tall rune]

How do you mean?

[deft saffron]

would someone be willing later to vc with me and assist with calculating how many train cars I need for my uranium delivery?

[open swallow]

it's extremely difficult to calculate that, since train speed is part of the equation and varies wildly in a busy system

for most cases, you'll only need one, and your bottleneck will be how fast you can mine it

[tall rune]

Doesn't the station show throughput?

[deft saffron]

the current bottleneck, despite two trains and three drones delivering all the uranium, is that there is a very brief momentary pause in the flow of uranium, despite the consumption being 2000/min

[heavy mauve]

making autopilot able to "go in reverse" to make more compact small railways

[deft saffron]

and drones cant really be expanded so the only real option is to expand the trains

[languid marlin]

They can, just put a locomotive on either side

[open swallow]

you should buffer your train outputs via industrial storage containers

[deft saffron]

that doesn't solve the uranium itself running out for a moment

[shy mulch]

There's a solid way to calculate it
Observe the station
If product is backing up so bad the miner stops, add more trains
If it doesn't, you're good

[open swallow]

so you're using it as fast as you're filling your ISCs?

[deft saffron]

I have a buffer in place to recirculate uranium and the entire stream will briefly be empty

[shy mulch]

Then fill up the buffer a bit so it doesn't run dry

[deft saffron]

I may use some portable miners just for that and observe to see if the rate of consumption is greater than the input flow

[open swallow]

yeah, as far as I can tell, your root issue is producing it in the first place

[deft saffron]

my theory is it's gotta be the drones or trains causing the reduction of throughput

[shy mulch]

You're overcomplicating it

If your buffers are running dry, you don't have enough product in your buffers

[deft saffron]

we will have to see, but for me there is definitely something causing the input flow to be less than 2100/min, otherwise I would have backlogged uranium by now

[open swallow]

Recirculation is never the answer in this game, by the way. It just adds complexity

If machines aren't getting enough material, you're not feeding enough material into the whole thing

[deft saffron]

it's just a buffer off of a smart splitter that loops the belt back onto itself. I use it from the drone ports so that it keeps things moving along, I'd have to show you

[open swallow]

Actually, recirculation might be useful in sushi belting, but that's arcane magic anyways

[hard ivy]

... why? Just put buffers between the platforms and the miners/factory on both loading and unloading

Why are you looping anything

And drone ports don't need buffering

[tall rune]

Or if you're unhinged, 2 in the middle facing opposite probably also works

[languid marlin]

🤮

[open swallow]

I don't think you'll be able to access the cargo in the frontmost car

[languid marlin]

I don't think you could connect everything

[hard ivy]

actually, it doesn't. a train needs to have a forward facing locomotive at the front to work in autopilot

[tall rune]

[primal obsidian]

should i use the copper refinery someone built and have to make a train line or make a bunch of converters to make coal into copper

[chilly canyon]

I personally dislike using the SAM for converting if i can just ship the materials by Train. And I am honestly not sure if there even is a coal to copper conversion

but in the end its up to you. If you hate Trains, convert as your hearth desires

[primal obsidian]

i think it goes coal to sulfur to limestone to iron to copper

[chilly canyon]

oh yeah i didn't consider in between steps. but if you have to convert it 4 times it really sounds like a train is the easier option (and it saves SAM as well)

[hard ivy]

I only use conversion if I need a tiny amount for an ammo factory or something

[primal obsidian]

lmao station 54

[gentle lion]

About ready to set up fuel generators

I used fluid buffers ro test the system and.glad I did.I had water flow issues

I'm fixing those issues now.

[severe cliff]

how do fluid buffers test that? bouta set up fuel and wouldn’t mind being able to test first

[gentle lion]

I don't think they tested it so much as 2 of them weren't filling up.

I was making sure I had fuel flow out of each setup I had.

[severe cliff]

ok thx

[gentle lion]

I had 24 refinerys and 28 (Un)packagers and there was a kink in the system

The last 3 or 4 weren't getting any water

[severe cliff]

do u mind sending a ss of your packager setup? i’m struggling with mine

[gentle lion]

Yeah let me try to get a good one console screenshots are awful

[primal obsidian]

awesome sink points spiking alll the way to 14m/min now that the plutonium fuel rod storage is full

[compact flicker]

There is nothing more SatisFying than throwing a switch to a new factory addition and every light turning that sweet baby blue of 100% efficiency

[gentle lion]

#screenshots message

Far right is refinerys and packagers

Then more refinerys in middle.and (Un)packagers after that

Then I fed everything into those big ass fuel reservoirs

The first set of refiners empties HOR and I fed resin into storage and a sink with a smart splitter set to overflow

[prisma berry]

Guys is satisfactory on Xbox PC version?

[open swallow]

No, it's console version

[languid marlin]

Are the differences focused around optimization or is there more? I guess there'd be differences with connecting to other worlds and backing saves

why use trains #screenshots message

i just dont get it. mk 5 convayors always work and are fast

[serene cargo]

why use drones?

[fiery stratus]

bad take

[hard ivy]

bad take

[reef basin]

why use [anything]?

why play the game?

[fiery stratus]

cuz convayors work good for shord medium distances and drones work for long distance

[hard ivy]

I'd like to see you drone 20 000 iron ore/min

[glad quest]

whats the best way to get 72,000 ingots pm

asking for a friend 🤨

[hard ivy]

what about 72 000 ingots am

[fiery stratus]

there is no issue with nitrogen gas setup. #screenshots message

[ivory condor]

putting down 1108 refineries and using the pure iron ingot recipes

[winter fable]

Why exist?

[ivory condor]

have fun making that refinery simulator

[reef basin]

everything works just fine for almost any distance

the choice of transportation method is yours

[fiery stratus]

but like i dont want to drag a convayor belt from the other side of the map

[reef basin]

then don't?

[hard ivy]

the issue is the absolute mess you made

[reef basin]

build near nodes, or use different transportation option

[willow lotus]

Whats the best alternative recipe for heavy frames?

[hard ivy]

encased and it's not even close

[reef basin]

that depends how you define "best"

[ivory condor]

your not considering using trains, or vehicles, this game has multiple logistic options

[fiery stratus]

#screenshots message this distance to far for convayor belts bolth ways

[glad quest]

1920

[primal obsidian]

so to make excited photonic matter do i jsut like not have any inputs?

[hard ivy]

BPs and it's gonna take a few hours at most

[hard ivy]

the input is power

[ivory condor]

1920, refineries, you dont need that many to make 72k iron ingots with the pure recipes

[primal obsidian]

ah i see well i do have 100 GW excess so dont have to worry about the grid failing

[glad quest]

says here 28,800 ore into 1920 refineries to make 72000 ingots

[fiery stratus]

drone work good

[primal obsidian]

unless nuclear power decides it doesent want to work anymore

[hard ivy]

why are y'all discussing the number of refineries without specifying the ingot type 💀

[reef basin]

and recipe

[primal obsidian]

its pure im pretty sure

[reef basin]

you can never be sure until specified

[glad quest]

copper

just realised i didnt clarify sorry

[reef basin]

and which recipe?

[languid marlin]

The name

It's fixed

At last I'm satisfied

[glad quest]

i can use any wanted to know the easiest

i was thinking about pure or leached

[reef basin]

well refinery has two. Other machines have 3 more

[primal obsidian]

does the vertical junction thing where itll always use the bottom input work for gases aswell

[reef basin]

basically all alt recipes are "add some other material to get more ingot per copper ore"

[glad quest]

not gonna use the foundry as then i need like a bajillion other ore and im not smelting lol

[reef basin]

you specified refineries, I'm asking about the recipe

[sterile blade]

Finally a bug they managed to address within a day!

[glad quest]

i can use pure copper or leached copper was wondering which i should use

[hard ivy]

pure will take 1920 refineries and 28800 ore, leached 983 refineries and 29454.5 ore and more sulfur than there is on the map 💀 (16363.6)

[primal obsidian]

or is that like a liquid only thing

[glad quest]

maybe i wont used leached then lol

[reef basin]

do you want to use water or sulfur?

[hard ivy]

leached also uses water

and not much less than pure

[mortal ginkgo]

leeched uses sulfur with the in quote "benefit" of putting much less refineries but then you will need to work on sulfur and water transporation.

pure copper is just BP spamming till there is no tomorrow, but at least you only worry about copper and water

[hard ivy]

honestly leached caterium is the only leached recipe I'd ever even consider using

[mortal ginkgo]

it is really a test of "do you love this game so much to use all them copper?" really.

[sterile blade]

... and FPS

[mortal ginkgo]

well everything costs fps xP

[sterile blade]

Yeah, but some cost less for the same output ^^

[glad quest]

dude u think i can get someone to build that many lol

[sterile blade]

If you're willing to pay, for sure.
For free... How good are you at sucking up to people...?

[glad quest]

ill offer a high five

[primal obsidian]

in person high five

and ill do it

but you can only find my address off of one low quality picture of the grass

[glad quest]

oh

can i fit 40 smelters into 1 bp???

[sterile blade]

"Your honor, I'd like to sue this blade of grass for doxing me..."

[hard ivy]

stacked? probably

[glad quest]

imma give it a go

cuz i need to build 240 and i not doing it 8 at a time lol

oh u 1000% can fit 40 in here

[zealous valley]

What's bp?

[hard ivy]

blueprint

[primal obsidian]

i jsut realized you can drag liquids straight from the machine into your trash slot and i dont have to flush the pipes repeatedly

[glad quest]

u can also put it into a container

Phase 3 - Phase 4 where you start getting lost about everything.

[buoyant veldt]

Does it really matter where I put my giga factory?

/giga warehouse?

[glad quest]

yes

[gentle lion]

How you all get such good screenshots lol

Pc,must be easier / better

[hard ivy]

photo mode probably

[primal obsidian]

should i automate nuclear pasta from scratch or yknow use the already existing fused frame factory and radio control units factory

[ivory condor]

giga factory, what in the world are you making

[gentle lion]

Console photo mode on ps5 doesn't save the to the app...😂 I don't know where they are.

[ivory condor]

I just ask because typically mega factory is the largest scale aka literally everything being built in one location and we are discussing giga factory that would come after that

[low thunder]

A friend of mine can't see what I write on signs. It gets all blurred out. Does someone know wy? (If he writes on it its ok)

[buoyant veldt]

Everything.

[ivory condor]

ahhh so megafactory=gigafactory in this case

[outer turret]

Is there good overhaul mods for Satisfactory, something like space exploration for factorio?

[buoyant veldt]

Usually I see giga factory and mega factory interchangeably.

[glad quest]

u can fit 4 smeters in a row in the mk3 blueprint thingy

[sterile blade]

Coughs in Omnifactory ||WIP||

[gentle lion]

Gigs factory lots of mega factories ?

[gentle lion]

Lots of giga factories ?

[reef basin]

gigafactory = a really big factory
megafactory = all production in one place

[hard ivy]

you can't have more than 1 megafactory

[ivory condor]

literally 95% of my factory is a Omnifactory at this point

[sterile blade]

That's just what I called my "do everything" factory xD

[buoyant veldt]

But anyway, I was thinking the area south of the titan forest. Sort of northwest of the blue crater (where I currently have my rocket fuel power)

[ivory condor]

i basically have to rip apart everything i have already done again to get closer to what im trying to go for

[buoyant veldt]

Is that secretly a crappy place or something?

[ivory condor]

this shouldnt take 10 more eons to finish hopefully

[sterile blade]

Why?
Just make one and double it somewhere else...?

[hard ivy]

now you have 0 megafactories

[sterile blade]

I'm lost

[ivory condor]

[hard ivy]

megafactory = all production in one place

[north summit]

setting up my "mega"factory rn

[hard ivy]

if you put production somewhere else, you no longer have a megafactory

[ivory condor]

wouldnt double be 0.5 mega factories, because half of the production is now only possible in both factories

[odd fox]

Is phase 5 easier than phase 4?

[glad quest]

no

[odd fox]

by the end of phase 4 you already have nuclear pasta being made, along with alot of the other more difficult recourses required for phase 5

especially the space elevator parts

[white dawn]

Alternate opinion: yes. :) Phase 4 is kind of peak complexity

[north summit]

I still think Phase 4 is possibly the most daunting phase because it gets into nuclear and everyone gets scared of nuclear but ye

[hard ivy]

kinda, yeah. especially if you're only going for completion

[white dawn]

Phase 5 adds in some kind of interesting new systems, and you do require previous Phase 4 parts to build things, but the production chains for phase 4 stuff are IMO simpler in general

[odd fox]

They require less materials, but I personally would say they are probably easier

[wary perch]

Yet it doesnt give you the option to put other liquids in the coffee cups

[glad quest]

ive fit 40 smelters into 1 blueprint

[wary perch]

could you fit other liquids in my coffee cup?

Sadly the answer is no

[languid marlin]

Holy smelters

How crammed are they?

[glad quest]

very

ill send a sc soon

[wary perch]

Don't ignore me you know im right

[glad quest]

i wanna drink ionizing fuel i feel like thats more potent than caffiene

[odd fox]

Same, whats the point of power shards in fuel if they arent there to overclock yourself?

[hard ivy]

imagine if you could run even faster after drinking ionized fuel

300 km/h slide jumping

[glad quest]

that would be peak

[odd fox]

You have different levels of speed based on how many cups you drink

One sip and you get 150 , then 200 then 250 percent speed.

[buoyant veldt]

Hard disagree.

[odd fox]

I had one factory for everything all the way until the end of phase 4

[hard ivy]

you can disagree all you want but that's the defninition 💀

[buoyant veldt]

From Coffee Stain? Because they're the only ones who could say something with that type of authority.

[mortal ginkgo]

OMG GUYS I GOT MY FIRST TRAIN GOING CHOO CHOO MOTHERF

The guy is CHUNGUS, the guy is FAST, the guy is FURIOUS

[north summit]

better than ever

[mortal ginkgo]

boi just arrived while I was adjusting stuff lol

[white dawn]

"megafactory" does have a pretty specific meaning in factory-building games in general, which is that you're making literally everything in one location. It's true that not everyone uses it to mean that as rigorously, but it's a fairly well-accepted term. CSS isn't really "in control" of that terminology any more than any of us are. But it does have a fairly specific meaning. :D

[solemn crystal]

i object
factory carts is better than trains

[glad quest]

i got one to 214km/h

[mortal ginkgo]

#design-and-architecture message you might like this lil project of mine 😄

[mortal ginkgo]

Holy fast boi

[white dawn]

Of course over time the word's meaning could get diluted by frequent "misuse," as often happens with language. Whee! 🥳

[solemn crystal]

i always have those I NEED FACTORY CERTES

[mortal ginkgo]

I decided to send stuff in my main base from one factory to another via carts, like the items they need from each other. I foresee madness in my future but hey.

[buoyant veldt]

Plus there is very little reason to do that in this game.

[hardy moat]

Wait carts can transport items??

[mortal ginkgo]

yes, they got one item slot and got no fuel demand

[hardy moat]

No more belts

[white dawn]

Nevertheless, many people often attempt it. :)

[buoyant veldt]

Like I guess currently I have one mega factory, except it isn't because aluminum and plastic are done at more convenient spots then sent to my main factory. I wouldn't say that invalidates me calling it a mega factory.

[primal obsidian]

i need 6000 copper/min for nuclear pasta maybe i should only do 1/min instead of 5

gonna take a LONG time for me to get 1000 though

[buoyant veldt]

Oh and my power plant is separate too, but that genuinely shouldn't count and there's no way you could convince me otherwise.

[glad quest]

wait thats actually peak

[odd fox]

i do 2.5 a min

so its only 400 min to get to that 1000

And by the time everything else is done you should have enough

[primal obsidian]

i have fused frames and RCU automated so itll be really easy to do

[glad quest]

i need 72,000 ingots pm for my build

[primal obsidian]

ok man

i dont really want to use all of my RCU and fused frame production on nuclear pasta so 2.5/min seems good

[buoyant veldt]

Uh... My found a nuclear nobelisk...

[solemn crystal]

Someone gets it!
although the traffic jam is crazy

[silk rose]

imagine belts power consumption

[glad quest]

nooo

[zealous valley]

Is there a way to copy a color swatch from one building onto another?

[silk rose]

maybe its kinda included cuz i dont believe in megawatts as basic power units , its like multistory building

[sterile blade]

Imagine belts needing motors...

[silk rose]

and rubber

fabric 💀

imagine needing colour cartridges to paint stuff 💀 oh i forgot

[north summit]

just posted the first half of the new hypertube hub in #screenshots

[glad quest]

they used too

[north summit]

trying to go for a good design this time

[silk rose]

yes and there were beacons

[north summit]

give recommendations

[glad quest]

do you know who the octonauts are

[silk rose]

why so high

[sterile blade]

Yeah, nobody does that...
Everybody knows their best use is as fuel!

[random stream]

Hey i have a qustion i just took a break from this game should start new or contitue my world i am currnetly on Phase 5 all completed expect for ballistic warp drive

[silk rose]

vehicle fuel

[glad quest]

restart

[silk rose]

start fresh

[north summit]

meaning?

[north summit]

because its a tower

[glad quest]

it looks like their base im soo sorry

[sterile blade]

Or biomass burners'
Because why not

[random stream]

ok thx guys

[mortal ginkgo]

It is, and they are so fun to have around. You should give it a try imho!

[random stream]

just one question what are the best alt recipes for the beginning ?7

[north summit]

reference is incompatable with my servos

[hard ivy]

(almost) all of them

[glad quest]

i shall

[random stream]

for me its the cast iron screws and stiched iron plates and iron pipe

[silk rose]

The heck?

[silk rose]

research stuff

[fallen anvil]

[sterile blade]

We got over 420 votes on a QA post about it, no wonder they did!
||We did not, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone actually did end up making a post, either sincerely or for fun...||

[silk rose]

get stuff from that calendar in hub first

[fallen anvil]

yeah?

[silk rose]

then research stuff in mam

[fallen anvil]

ok

[reef basin]

there's no singleplayer in SF

[silk rose]

is it like minecraft

[reef basin]

you're playing on local server

[mortal ginkgo]

oh so my game gonna restart itself?

[reef basin]

probably, idk

[wicked nacelle]

ignore the "server" part of the message. Yes, it will restart

[cunning glade]

Are screws worth automating at the start?

Like they don't seem to be used for building that much

[winged crescent]

The EOS issue is fixed! 😄

[leaden turret]

lolololol

[mortal ginkgo]

yep, try getting hard drive for "Cast Screws" which makes them stop needing iron rod

[leaden turret]

they're used by other automations

[mortal ginkgo]

also stitched iron rods and iron wire recipes are good too

[cunning glade]

Well I have that I just idk if I need a full storage container of screws

[mortal ginkgo]

ah no, you dont need that

[pine patrol]

get alternates the goal is to eliminate them entirely if you cant do that get something like cast screws or steels screws

[hard ivy]

they're not worth automating, period. just steal a few stacks from your early game rotor production and you'll be set for the rest of the game

[leaden turret]

you don't

[cunning glade]

Kinda what I was thinking

[leaden turret]

any time you need screws for building something, can just steal them

[cunning glade]

That was my thought

I wanna use that iron too amp up my reinforced iron plates

I can get I think what 14/m is the plan

[fallen anvil]

I started a new world

early game is so slow, I have to gather leaves

[leaden turret]

creature part biomass

[fallen anvil]

😠

[cunning glade]

Can be slow

[pine patrol]

i have one whole machine using the base screw recipe and it dumps the screws into a dim depot and still the only time i use it is when i build a awsome shop

[mortal ginkgo]

get biomass from animal remains, you are set

[cunning glade]

Or mushrooms

[mortal ginkgo]

its a total troll of devs that its the only building that uses it

[pine patrol]

tru

[cunning glade]

Tracks should take screws imo

[mortal ginkgo]

and Stators were used for some machines pre 1.0 from what I heard.

[pine patrol]

but i dont think they wanted late game to be forced to automate screws

[mortal ginkgo]

there is a "realistic" mod for that if you are into that, even a mk1 belt asks for 3 items to be used.

oh and there is a "belt" item that other versions of belts use so here you go 😛

[north summit]

#screenshots message

almost finished just have to texture

[pine patrol]

i hope that satisfactory "partners" with some of the more popular mods to make them a built in option for console players if you have played teardown thats what im talking about

[north summit]

and add some more omph to it

[pine patrol]

if you havent teardown has an option in the main menu for a ton of mods not saying they need to do as many as IMO satisfactory is more replayable than teardown but its still the same goal each time which ig is most games

[winter fable]

Allowing mods on console would open a whole new dimension (and alot of hours)

[leaden turret]

allowing mods on console would require a first-party mod distribution platform

aka "lolnope, not for Satis 1"

[pine patrol]

:(

[winter fable]

Ms and sony arent that mod friendly either

[pine patrol]

Ms?

[winter fable]

Microsoft

[pine patrol]

ah

[leaden turret]

looks at bethesda games

[winter fable]

Thats an exception

[north summit]

I mean they arent exactly that mod friendly either, look what they are doing to fallout 4

they keep nuking the mods with every update

[winter fable]

O yeah thats also true

[pine patrol]

i mean they are not hostile either i mean look at Xbox and playstation they are sharing exclusives

[glad quest]

bros never played ark then

[leaden turret]

and cities skylines, surviving mars, baldur's gate 3 , age of empires 4, doom 1 & 2, farming simulator, expeditions mudrunner, mudrunner, skater xl, snow runner, space engineers, stalker, stalker 2, teardown, eso, tabs

They keep getting done so dirty

[north summit]

Real

[leaden turret]

18 months to not fix the game and break it in new ways, much prefer CSS

Fallout was my first ever game i could mod on ps, but idk if satisfactory could cuz of 1 publishers 2 if the game can even handle it

last little thing for the Hypertube Hub for now

[leaden turret]

seems like something out of an arkham game, minus the crime and flooding 😛

[marsh rain]

When joining a friend, does our progress move together or does each pioneer level/unlock at their own pace when playing together?

[reef basin]

progress is tied to save, not to people

[leaden turret]

game is co-op, no competitive gameplay beyond being dicks to each other with

[wicked nacelle]

There aren’t “levels” really. And it’s coop so your work is combined

[marsh rain]

Cool thanks!!

[north summit]

real lol

Its my little way of incorporating the Elevada

[leaden turret]

I looked at the screenshot and it totally reminded me of the missions where you go do things to radio towers

hey where did satisfactroy go now its satisfactory

[reef basin]

we never had satisfactroy

[primal obsidian]

really

[reef basin]

yes

[primal obsidian]

i guess i might be hallucinating

thats really weird

cause the community managers would never let that happen right?

[merry drum]

Is there an issue with signals, like my path signal intersections are showing the correct colors but trains are still colliding.

[primal obsidian]

send screenshot or open questions and help post kinda hard to figure out the problem

[hard ivy]

the tracks need to physically overlap when crossing each other

[merry drum]

Ahh I thought that could be a reason but wasn't sure

[hard ivy]

or be more than 6 m apart vertically

[buoyant veldt]

Those of you who have built giga factories, where did you build them?

[cyan valve]

is there an easy way to locate your sloops? except for looking at every machines. I cant seem to find my missing 3 sloops omg

[fickle oriole]

the radar tower only tells me how many somersloops are somewhere within its radius, right? Other than using SCIM, is there any in-game way of narrowing it down other than schlepping back and forth with the scanner?

[hard ivy]

build a ton of radar towers with overlapping ranges

[buoyant veldt]

You know about the power connector glowing purple, right?

[hard ivy]

hover over them with dismantle mode

[cyan valve]

hold on. i know what they look like when theyre sloop though. but no chance

[north summit]

Guys should I transport all my resources being made from my old factory to my new factory through drone lines

[cyan valve]

Is there a chance that I might have accidentally deleted them?

[fickle oriole]

it depends on the volume. drones are best for very low volume. otherwise belts, or trucks, or choo choos

[cyan valve]

Guess I'll look on it later. badly need rest now..

[north summit]

Ah so like more refined resources like motors and stuff

Things that take forever to build

Or project parts

[hard ivy]

you can easily check with SCIM if they exist somewhere. finding where is a bit harder, but still not that difficult

[north summit]

I’m going to set up a drone station next to my space elevator now

So my new factory can transport to tjere

[fickle oriole]

up to you. Most things you only need a few of this phase, you'll need a lot of next phase, so I tend to use RRs, but it's whatever you like

[fallow magnet]

What do you mean get alternates how’s that work? ( I just got space elevator and am about to enter tier 3 for first time ever

[north summit]

speaking of RRs i need to do some work there too

[gentle lion]

Got mobile upload and 1 more level of space and speed for dimensional Depot

[north summit]

the new factory is 100% going to have a much more refined railsystem

[gentle lion]

Does jetpack use fuel from depot?

That sucks

[primal obsidian]

waitng at train station

[hard ivy]

collect hard drives, scan them and receive alternates

[fallow magnet]

Oh cool how do I get hard drives? And like is it an alternate way to make iron plates you mean or?

[exotic egret]

why cant i find the mam research tree

it doesnt show up on mam

[hard ivy]

you find them in drop pods scattered all over the map. and yes, you get different recipes for items you already have

[primal obsidian]

like instead of rods to screws theres an alt thats iron ingots straight to screws

[exotic egret]

how can i unlock the ficsmas mam tree?

[glad quest]

pick up a present

[exotic egret]

i did

[hard ivy]

find a gift and open the first calendar window

[north summit]

you can easily pull fuel from depo tho

So depo anytway

its useful

[glad quest]

it isnt in the mam?

should be

[exotic egret]

ive opened presents opened days 1,2,3 and ive made the day 1 data cartridge

[exotic egret]

yeah its not there

[hard ivy]

Ficsmas was supposed to be exactly the same as last year and they still managed to break it smh

[thorn aurora]

Hey theyre ! I need some help over here.... My blinders still keeping pausing while production's turbofuel, and idk why

nothing can make it happen

[delicate hinge]

Hey Pioneers, is it only me experiencing the bug with the ficsmas drives not working? I handcrafted a few to move forward in the MAM but nothing happens, it's like the inventory just takes it up as a placeholder but doesn't recognize it.

[reef basin]

make a #1038092680493801533 thread with images and check all machines if they are full with output or don't have enough input

[reef basin]

I mean the codebase is also 1 year older

[exotic egret]

how do i unlock the ficmas research tree ive opened presents opened days 1,2,3 and ive made the day 1 data cartridge and repalced the game and it still doesnt work

[delicate hinge]

Ok so i am not the only one having issues with the drives then 😂

[wicked nacelle]

Those are actually three of my favorite unlocks 🙂

[wicked nacelle]

Beams?

[small pilot]

Why is it always beams 😭

[wicked nacelle]

No one needs it but it can be nice to not need copper in some spots.

[small pilot]

But yeah I guess that would work, can keep them horizontal

[hard ivy]

It's more useful than cast screws tbh

[wicked nacelle]

I enjoy both quite a bit in the right spots

[quick barn]

Whats broke? Seems fine. Even has a new advent cal poster this year I think.

[small pilot]

Cast screws is amazing really early game when you're stuck on biomass and desperately trying to get enough rotors to set up coal

[thorn aurora]

yup, did it : https://discord.com/channels/370472939054956546/1445900975293599887

like, now ^^'

[quick barn]

Not gunna mess up a save noatter what you pick. You don't need alternates at all, technically

[hard ivy]

I'm in and out of the early game in a few hours. I ain't wasting a drive on a recipe that'll save 5 constructors and a few stacks of biomass

[buoyant veldt]

Is the particle accelerator the tallest building or is there a taller one in phase 5?

[sullen gull]

Though, the Quantom Encoder, while short, is the longest and will have a giant beam of light coming out of it.

[buoyant veldt]

So PA is the tallest?

[sullen gull]

1m higher than a refinery

[hard ivy]

If it's taller than a refinery, yeah, I'd say so

You can also just check the wiki

[ocean frost]

I wonder if Quantom Encoder and the ficsmas gifts are from the same place as they both glow

[hard ivy]

Is looking through the channel list really that hard

[gentle lion]

So donyou run one long pipe for all yoh generators ? Or so many refineries per generators? I'm losing flow down the line.

[twilit peak]

Just handcrafted 2000 wires while listening to the goat simulator theme

What is this game

[hard ivy]

Why

[hard ivy]

I usually do 400, 450 or 500 fuel per pipe, depending on the fuel

[gentle lion]

Regular fuel

[twilit peak]

Hungry elevator

[gentle lion]

Uhhh I may have to rerun my pipes.

I was feeding them off those big ass torgae depots lol

[sullen gull]

Put the fluid line in a loop. Because of machine rate/"gulping" and the way "pressure" works, you shouldn't ever do a single pipe manifold. Either loop from back to front,. or if using more that one exctractor, feed from both ends first, then distribute along the center of the manifold.

[hard ivy]

Yeah, no, don't do that. You put refineries making x fuel on each pipe and then generators consuming x fuel. And x ≤ 600. Repeat until you have all the power you want. Do not connect the pipes together

[gentle lion]

I'm using the HOR and resin with packaged water then unpacking fuel in 14 packagers

Each one is 60/m

[sullen gull]

It always works, with proper plumbing 😏

Which, I would be willing to bet that any of "those" type of issues are always on straight manifolds. 🤷‍♂️

Never understood why old versions are still referenced all the time with bugs that don't seem to be still present?

[covert imp]

is it better to have one pipe going into multiple fluid buffers or to connect fluid buffers to each other? or does it not matter? im pretty new and im finally building a somewhat big building for a bunch of coal generators

[sullen gull]

"Better" to not use fluid buffers except for train fluid stations

Proofs?

[covert imp]

alr, so just from the extractor directly into the coal generators?

[gentle lion]

So Im getting 800 fuel per min, I thought is was 20 fuel per Gen? Yes or no

There I am, going about my business, building factories (or well... fighting blueprints to get the perfect angle on beams). All is well and all is normal.

Then this friggin'.... lizard dog thing comes up outta NOWHERE! It's got friggin HORNS and a big ol' CLOWN NOSE like some sort of freakin' Stephen King meets Goosebumps monstrosity

[sullen gull]

Because you aren't producing enough ingots would be my guess..

[sour ledge]

and yet when I whip out my rebar gun and eliminate the problem, ada thinks im a monster!?

[sullen gull]

I'm not doing anything atm if you'd like some help

[sour ledge]

it has a friggin' clown nose!

[glass pagoda]

What did you say about my pal Tony

[sour ledge]

I took him out and i'm proud of it! Tony was a mutant that needed to be culled before he polluted the gene pool!

[glass pagoda]

It's a costume... it's a reindeer costume

[sullen gull]

@unborn gyro

[sour ledge]

...

So before anything, I would like to apologize for what was a clearly tragic misunderstanding. But c'mon, clown nose!?

[glass pagoda]

Red nose raindeer

[sullen gull]

Well send me the save at least. Because I have been rather invested over the last year with plumbing and I'd like to take a gander 🙂

[sour ledge]

rudolph should have been culled too santa's given out enough GPS systems to have his own!

[glass pagoda]

@sour ledge I accept the apology but if I ever hear about you killing doggos again me and my gang are gonna make sure you end up in chalk

[sour ledge]

... So about that...

... I found a Tony impersonator and well, turns out it's a reflex.

[gentle lion]

So can I run 3 generators of 60 fuel per minute

[sullen gull]

Any with pipe "bugs" 😛

[glass pagoda]

See you soon

[sullen gull]

No worries.

[glass pagoda]

Done

[sullen gull]

The thing about mk2 pipes that I have noticed, is that they rarely ever hit a sustained rate due to machine cycle rates. They may peak at 600 often, but I'd say average is between 495~585

[glass pagoda]

Ur power grid has been hooked up to bio fual but it keeps shutting down and I have broken ur blade runners and had my guys do surgery on you so your brain can never think of how to make them, your signs have been replaced with lights so you must use ur power grid to get lighting and we have replaced all belts with mark 1 as well as put bombs in the gifts that come from the sky 😀 @sour ledge

Also we relocated all ur factorys to the swamp

[sullen gull]

I always just use a Blueprint and do aluminum in "blocks" making 600 ingots/min. But, soon I am going to do one that is producing all 12,300 in a "single production" chain. With recycling! 🤣 . But I want to get more done on this "art project" build first.

[sour ledge]

honestly i think the part that'd hurt me the most is the belts...

bombs in the gifts from the sky would be hilarious

[spark sky]

Okay, changing trinkets doesn't seem to work on the Xeno Basher. No matter which trinket I pick, it just has the wrench hanging from it.

[glass pagoda]

That's actually alr in the game

[glass pagoda]

I got blown up trying to open. One

[sour ledge]

is it really!? that's amazing i haven't run into it yet. maybe i have to progress the event more

[glass pagoda]

Nah i got bombed my first time looking for gifts

[unborn gyro]

amazing when you decide playing permadeath

[glass pagoda]

It says "totally normal gift"

[spark sky]

It doesn't look like the regular ones, so you will know it when you see it.

[sour ledge]

oh good to know, ill keep an eye out for it then lol

[glass pagoda]

What mk do you have ur belts

[spark sky]

Even after knowing what it looked like, I still grabbed some and blew myself up by accident.

[glass pagoda]

I just was exited I found a new gift and Barlly paid attention so I grabbed it

[sour ledge]

highest ones are mk4 in this save since thats the best i can build, but i mean i've got old factories so its not consistant

well, unless/until lizard doggo sneaks in and sets all my belts to mk1 of course

as vengeance for tony

[glass pagoda]

Same here but have you unlocked trains yet the ada says somthing funny and I dont want to spoil it

[spark sky]

It seems like it's a bug that changing your trinket in the HUB only changes it for the construction tool, not for the other tools/weapons.

[glass pagoda]

Not a bug just life

[spark sky]

But the Xeno Basher I look at all the time, I don't look at the construction tool all the time.

[gentle lion]

So one packager is doing 60 of 2m3 fuel per minute, thats 120m3 per minute?

Which should be 6 generators?

[glass pagoda]

It's just somthin that has to happen to save the kittens and puppies

[spark sky]

Why have a trinket on the Xeno Basher if it can't be changed?

[glass pagoda]

#1038092680493801533 would answer that im sure

Gtg

[spark sky]

I don't think there are any Kittens and Puppies. I think ADA just wants us to help it perpetuate itself and replicate itself (and clone more of us to help it do so).

[hard ivy]

Whatever it says it does per minute, that's how much it does. No need to multiply anything

[gentle lion]

I just wanna know gens per packager figured it was an easy answer

[ocean frost]

just do the math

[hard ivy]

It is

[ocean frost]

ask GPT

[reef basin]

check how much gen needs, check how much packager makes

[ocean frost]

Alright

Packager makes

60 m3 / min
in batches of
2 m3 per cycle (/ 2 sec)

Refinery*

[gentle lion]

So 3 Gens per packager

I've never said I was smart but f this ge gives you a headache

[ocean frost]

Packaged fuel is

Packaged Fuel
40 / min

[tacit trellis]

Tbf it's just basic multiplication and division

Use the ingame notes or signs to record down numbers n shit to make it easier

Or like an external notes app

[ocean frost]

honestly we have no clue how much Packaged Fuel you are making

[tacit trellis]

U can use Excel but it's kinda overkill

[ocean frost]

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

[dire tapir]

i cant get my signals to work the rule path at entrace and blaock at exit of a junktion isnt working says my path signals r looping

[reef basin]

share image with segment colors in #1038092680493801533

[wicked nacelle]

there's a bug that makes it so you can't put signals on merge/split snap points. Move it just a little away from it

[gentle lion]

I have 14 unpacking says 2m3 , 60/min

Unpakcing packaged fuel

I'll post in questions and answers when I'm back home

[wicked nacelle]

the number per cycle is irrelevant

[reef basin]

first number is per cycle, second number is per minute
you only need to use one of those

[gentle lion]

Thats why I'm confused

And sorry I have chronic pain so sometimes my brain is a litte fuzzy

Not trying to make ahu9one mad

[dire tapir]

i cant screenshot

[reef basin]

why not?

[dire tapir]

doesnt work

[reef basin]

if you want to know how much the machine makes, use the per minute number

[reef basin]

what doesn't work?

[dire tapir]

screenshot

[reef basin]

your printscreen button?

how it "doesn't work"?

[wicked nacelle]

then yeah you'll need to post in https://discord.com/channels/370472939054956546/1038092680493801533

[ocean frost]

Windows key + Shift + S

[reef basin]

that's way more convoluted than printscreen 😄

[dire tapir]

i dunno what to tell you in satisfactory my screenshotting doesnt work

[wicked nacelle]

do what gill said

[ocean frost]

It coppies to clipboard and is easier

[reef basin]

printscreen copies to clipboard and is single button 🤔

[dire tapir]

I have a 60% so have to use the hard way but that aint workin

[wicked nacelle]

but may show things you don't want to show

[reef basin]

like what? the game?

[ocean frost]

I have 2 monitors so you do you

[reef basin]

then use alt+printscreen

[reef basin]

what's with that?

[wicked nacelle]

win-shift-s is the most useful thing to remember - it can do whatever you want for capturing

[ocean frost]

I just like the snip tool

[cyan leaf]

What are the point of switches? I've seen it in the false gold (forgot its actually name) but idk whats the point of it

[ocean frost]

Turn grids on and off

[wicked nacelle]

it does what gill said but that's not all that useful in practice. you can just skip them

[ocean frost]

like a factory, I use it to isolate my power plant so when it crashes its easier to start it up again. There is one that you can use to change the color of lights.

[wicked nacelle]

You can just build more power, maybe temporarily overclock a generator or two and just turn it back on. power in this game is more a chore than a challenge

[whole robin]

Hi, I'm very new to the game, how many hours/what progression point is it recommended for me to get to before going into multiplayer?

[cyan leaf]

Thays so true 😭

[reef basin]

I'd recommend finishing the game first

[cyan leaf]

But is that any logic that does like 'if full' or 'if empty' type of commands?

[wicked nacelle]

there's no number. it can help to go multiplayer early to learn faster. or it can be fun to learn yourself and go in and just power through stuff with friends. Either is great

[ocean frost]

play multiplayer whenever its a sandbox game. you might just be exposed to more complex productions, i would say finish Tier 3 to learn the basics.

[north summit]

Guys! I need to build a new factory, proceeds to spend the entire day not building factory and instead setting up transportation and structures

[north summit]

#screenshots message anyway update to the factory

this hypertube hub is going to be hella cinematic

[outer turret]

What do you think is better for UPS and FPS, between a really long belt, a truck and a train ?

[glad quest]

belts

[outer turret]

And let's not forget drone,

[glad quest]

drones r the worse

then trucks i do believe

[reef basin]

depends how long and how many of each

[glad quest]

rlly long distance prob trains tbh

[outer turret]

That was my intuition

But a belt loaded with 3425 items to render ...

[glad quest]

i would presume it being flat would prob be better

[glad quest]

idk belts r rlly efficent fps wise

[reef basin]

the items on belts are actually fake, they optimise there a lot

[outer turret]

Good !

[warm dune]

Is it bad I completed the game with not exceeding 30k power produced and less then half of that being consumed?

[wicked nacelle]

there is a separate video setting for belt draw distance that isn't tied to "high/medium/low" -- I had to turn mine down a bit but then it was fine

[glad quest]

HOW

[wicked nacelle]

why would it be bad. just slow

you can beat the game on one 1% bioburner

[warm dune]

Just didnt keep every single item being built and repressed machines to build what I needed 🤣

[outer turret]

I guess the build a graph behind and only render belt when you look at them. Probably same thing with trucks, that don't really travel and calculate collisions, they just move when you don't look

[warm dune]

Repurposed*

[glad quest]

they dont require updates so they r better for UPS if im not mistaken also turn down render distance

[warm dune]

Now im working on actually building multiple factories to have everything being made to sink

[glad quest]

based

[north summit]

Question

[reef basin]

answer

[north summit]

Im working on building a double railway is it possible to connect my old single railway onto the double railway track without any issues or should i just ignore the old railway all together

[reef basin]

you can connect them with proper signalling

[north summit]

interesting

[wicked nacelle]

if only one train goes down your single railway then you're fine. if more than one then burn it to the ground

[old bramble]

So I set up my first train station to deliver parts.

[north summit]

its a multiple train railway but I can modify it back into a single train

[pine patrol]

ok i know this is much late there is alternate recipes you csn unlcok them by scanning hard drives an example of one is called “iron wire” where you can make copper wire with iron but its less efficiant

[wicked nacelle]

"proper signalling" for single rail bidirectional track gets very complex very fast

[north summit]

right so just ignore it

[wicked nacelle]

you'll find crashed freighters around the map that have hard drives once you open them. Put them in the mam and they'll give you new ways to build your items that are better in some ways (usually)

[pine patrol]

same

[reef basin]

proper signalling is to not put signals on the bidi section 🤷 which is very easy

[wicked nacelle]

if you only schedule one train to go down it, then it's fine and easy

[old bramble]

I’m picking up items into each freight trailer at each site. Then at the last stop dumping all 3 freights of the parts into ten manufacturers.

Now I just need to manifold each part into each hole

[fallow magnet]

Ohhh okay thank you! I think I found one of those crashed things I saw something smoking earlier, there was a ton of those bug spawned things around it, how do I get rid of them without dying? They kept attacking me doing tons of damage

[wicked nacelle]

There are a bunch of freighters on the map and they are of varying difficulty to get to and open. Some take items to open. Some take power to open. A few don’t require anything

[ocean frost]

if you crouch the hives wont open up.

[wicked nacelle]

Eventually you’ll be able to fly and have guns and the difficulty goes down significantly

[ocean frost]

or turn it to peaceful

[wicked nacelle]

lame

[zealous valley]

Passive

[fallow magnet]

Oh sick I didn’t know that, how do I crouch on controller? I havnt done it yet

[fallow magnet]

Oh sick okay cool thank you

[wicked nacelle]

Just make sure you keep looking in the MAM to unlock stuff. That’s where a LOT of the goodies come from

[fallow magnet]

Oh okay gotcha I havnt actually unlocked that yet I’ll do it yet

[ocean frost]

Crash sites also have loads of resources you can use to build with too

[wicked nacelle]

the quartz tree in thr mam has a relatively early unlock called “blade runners” that makes everything about the game so much better

[pine patrol]

oh yeah you can get loads a goodies

the explorer would be so peak if hypertubes didnt exist

[cyan leaf]

Fff i hate the setup for computers and the ai one 😭

[pine patrol]

ai limiters?

[sullen gull]

Win+Shift+s uses snipping tool. Great if you have it set to only take a shot of a drawn box to be able to just snip sections of a screen.

[reef basin]

I'm aware, but OP wanted to post a screenshot from the game

[cyan leaf]

Noo the one for space elevator cause of it needing ao much stuff ffff

[wet cloak]

Hello peoples, first time player here. Any tips for phase 5?

[pastel hedge]

Why is Xbox multiplayer so laggy?

[dense violet]

process your waste dark matter residue with seperate machines.
other than that basically the same

[wet cloak]

Idk what that means yet but I’m sure I’ll regret finding out soon, ty

[dense violet]

there's just byproduct residue. Like byproduct waste water in bauxite

[reef basin]

build more stuff

[dense violet]

just keep the fresh and waste residue seperate like in bauxite and you're fine

[wet cloak]

Should I have a lot of particle accelerators? Rn I have two

[dense violet]

make plans and find out. You'll probably need some

[wet cloak]

Yeah that’s my goal rn. I’m gonna scale everything up before I start working on project parts

[reef basin]

my personal recommendation for any phase is to not touch existing factories 😉

[wet cloak]

My existing factories are all a mess rn so I’m probably gonna have to fix some stuff

[reef basin]

even a messy factory is better than no factory

[wet cloak]

Yeah good point. Anytime I try and fix stuff I spend more time patching up new problems lol

[reef basin]

better spend the time on making new factories than repairing old ones 🙂

[dense violet]

were you planning on playing the game as a sand box with your own projects after phase 5? or will you be 'done'?

[wet cloak]

I’ll be done with this world but I do plan to do a second play through that’s a lot “cleaner”

There’s a lot of stuff I’ve learned that I wanna go back and use in early game and improve on

[dense violet]

fair, either way, redoing old factories is less than useful 🙂 if you were done at phase 5 it wouldn't matter, and if you were wanting to do a sand box mode your old factories probably wouldn't do much for your projects.

you could also just wipe the map clean after phase 5 and just build fresh?

[north summit]

Pioneers can climb ladders without hands if holding nobelisks

[wet cloak]

Yeah but there’s no goal to work towards

[north summit]

based Pioneer ficsit training

[wet cloak]

A big thing that keeps me going is the dopamine rush of completing all the production goals

[dense violet]

You make your own goals 🙂 that's what sand box is. Decide on what mechanics are interesting and what might be a fun goal. Then do it.

the milestones and tiers are basically just a long tutorial to teach you the game

Yup. Create more production goals.

[wet cloak]

Quads of steel

[north summit]

real

[wet cloak]

500,000 adaptive control units

[dense violet]

if you want.
I'm going to make 1800 hmf pm at some point

[hasty cairn]

I heard that ACUs are Satisfactory's most common filter that causes players to give up.

[dense violet]

I don't see why. Just keep combining thigns you're already making

[wet cloak]

There’s a 9% player difference of people who complete phase 3 and then go on to complete phase 4 (at least according to steam achievements)

So it filters 9% people out of the game

Sorry, phase 2 to phase 3 is what I meant

[dense violet]

could be anyhthing else in between that does it. Just getting tired/bored

[wet cloak]

The ACU almost made me stop playing lol

It seemed like such a hassle at the time

[dense violet]

I just linked up the , boards, computers , frames and automated wiring that was already being made

large buffers of items just feed the process

[ocean frost]

Funny enough I found the AD easier to make than the ACU

[arctic hound]

@opaque bronze did you have a malformed window frame on the factory cart kit?

[buoyant veldt]

Well I'm trying to plan for a mega warehouse/factory in the central-South area of the map and I'm on phase 4. Wanted to know if phase 5 had taller buildings to plan for.

[wet cloak]

I don’t think phase 5 has any really tall buildings

[frail sleet]

encoders send a huge light beam up

[sudden flint]

what's the deal with walkways and catwalks

they snap to buildings

they're a clean 4x4 meters

but neither the ramps nor the stairs cleanly land on the ground from atop a snapped-to constructor?

[ocean frost]

They were introduced after the machines.

I'm pretty sure that the snapping points was a qol feature added later but I can't remember

[cyan leaf]

Ngl I feel like people give up at acu cause of having to deal with the maam cause before hand like very little is needed from it but now u need it for the caterium and quartz

[compact flicker]

Do i need to account for mid air collisions when working with drones?

[dense violet]

they'll clip through things if needed

[compact flicker]

Ty

[north summit]

is there a way to add suggestions to the game

I was wondering if we could ever get something like hypertube boosters for faster movement in hypertubes

that function similar to pumps for pipes

[sudden flint]

...

Hypertube cannon

[white dawn]

Heh, as SamRI said, you can actually technically already do that; just have to chain some entrances together

But if you do want to send feature requests and such to the devs, the Questions site is the place to do it

<3 @white dawn

[north summit]

thank you

[white dawn]

I do agree that having an actual "booster" type tube part would be nice, especially for longer tubes

The chaining-entrances technique works but it's a bit hokey

[north summit]

yee

I like Hypertubes for the looks

and transportation too

I think they are very fun

a "booster" would be cool for the sake of booster

[strong fiber]

I finally got sastisfactory

Let's goo a new fisca member (I forgot the corpo name 😭)

YOU HERETIC! /j

[north summit]

gg

Welcome Pioneer

[cyan leaf]

Is it worth hunting for the caterium computer recipe and the alt for sillican

[dense violet]

if you want? all the recipes are useful for different situations

caterium computer can be part of a chain that makes super computers out of only caterium and oil

[cyan leaf]

Its for the acu idk why I remembering it using computers 😭

Like whst is caterium stuff used for other then for smart spiltters

[arctic hound]

The gold wire iirc

(Been a while since ive played

[cyan leaf]

Thats why i said for the smart splitters cause of the wires but then I have no use of em 😭

[magic nest]

okay so i am making 280 fuel per minute and that should be able to power 14 generators right?

[dense violet]

sure

[magic nest]

so why can it not fill up my generators

i’ve literally tried everything

[cyan leaf]

Is it piped properly?

[dense violet]

either you haven't waited long enough or bad piping

[cyan leaf]

Show us the layoutttt

[dense violet]

post some overhead images in #math-and-meta

[magic nest]

i would like to think so yes

done

[strong fiber]

How do i get a bean to move hes standing on a limstone node i need

[magic nest]

smack em

[strong fiber]

Hes stuck on it bruh

i killed the bean but the factory must grow

[dense violet]

dismantle the thign the yare stuck on next time, then smack it

[languid marlin]

Some caterium alternative recipes are really good late game

[strong fiber]

He was stuck ontop of a limestone node and there was nothing there

[dense violet]

how odd

I've only seen them stuck on built items

[strong fiber]

Is it fine if my belts clipping through everything even like the ground will the items still go through

[dense violet]

basically nothing you clip vanilla will have negative consequences

[strong fiber]

ok thx cuz i got some crazy shi going on in my starter factory

Im tryna build the space elevator rn

[outer yacht]

make it so we can overclock jump pads

it'd be fun

[magic nest]

why is my train unreachable;((

goddamnnnnnnn

[compact flicker]

You placed the next station backwards

[magic nest]

i will try that

give me a sec

[gentle lion]

Is there a trick to placing the conveyor floor holes

[compact flicker]

Would yall rather have MAM research allow using resources from the depot or have artificial lighting that blooms properly

[dense violet]

put them on foundations?

[dense violet]

the first is... kinda pointless, the 2nd exists on PC

[gentle lion]

Are they just for lifts

[dense violet]

the belt ones, yes

there are also pipe holes

[gentle lion]

🤔

[magic nest]

did not work

[compact flicker]

The MAM thing would be convenient tho :3

[dense violet]

over head images of your stations in #math-and-meta

[dense violet]

there aren't many times you ahve to do it and you can just drag stuff out of dim depots into your inventory

[magic nest]

will do🫡

[compact flicker]

Ik

I think i'd prefer the lighting one anyways

[compact flicker]

I am like 95% sure they meant #screenshots

[magic nest]

damnit

sent to the math and meta

[peak wasp]

does the advent calendar unlock after midnight or later on in the day? 4am here and 4 wont open

[compact flicker]

Got a VPN? It says 12am local

[peak wasp]

no vpn , ps5 and im from the uk, im sure on the 1st i opened that one not long after midnight but the other two during the day but clicking the 4th does nothing and the hint says when i search 4 that date has not arrived yet

[compact flicker]

Its 23:18 where I'm at, give me 42 mins ans I'll get back to ya :p

[ocean frost]

unlocked for me its 3 30 pm

[peak wasp]

console or pc ?

[ocean frost]

PC

[crimson sundial]

The number 4 doesn't exist on a calendar.. Satisfactory confirmed?

[ocean frost]

it does

it should unless we have different calendars

[peak wasp]

i can see it i just can't click it

[ocean frost]

are you sure its not 24 or 14
