satisfactory

[unkempt blade]

yeah it doesn't scale great into later phases but just dumping 20 portable miners into a storage container can go a long way early game

[charred thistle]

how

[golden nexus]

yeah work around thoose, you may get "toys" later 😉

[charred thistle]

yeah and the smaller rocks

[golden nexus]

generally the map is static and cannot be changed

[remote hawk]

how should i bring a iron nod to my base, (its 500m)?

im at like phase 1 i think

i gotta make rotors right now

[charred thistle]

watching the conveyor belts prime is fun

im a piece of copper :3

[golden nexus]

you should probably make rotors there and then bring the rotors back

[remote hawk]

oh

[fluid sapphire]

either conveyor, or dont do it at all and just build at the node

[golden nexus]

Which is cheaper? 60 iron? or 2 rotors?

[remote hawk]

idk

[ivory condor]

I'm going to put you into a constructor

[remote hawk]

i think im gonna build it at the node then, but then, to bring it back do i like put the conveiors on the floor or on foundations in the sky

[proper hound]

You could just keep exploring on existing save. Grab all the slugs/artifacts/shrooms to make sure you truly visited everything worthy.
Keeping one save makes it easier as you don't revisit places.

[upper crypt]

Stand by it and press E (don't hold it), the smaller grey rocks need explosives.

If you're on console, I have no idea what to press XD

[upper crypt]

2 rotors. 60 iron gets you 5.333 rotors.

[delicate orchid]

Is there anyone here that has been able to cross play on console successfully? We're both considering just refunding at this point because nothing is working lol

[hard ivy]

depends on the recipes. you could get as much as 9.9 rotors/min from 60 iron ore/min and some water. 5.33 out of just iron and nothing else

[golden nexus]

"toys" come later

[charred thistle]

I'm finally at teir 1 :D

[upper crypt]

If you have the Ficsmas event active, you sometimes have them drop from the sky. They just blow you up when you collect them. (You still keep the drops).

[delicate orchid]

We installed fall guys just to add each other as epic friends for it to do nothing 😭

[primal obsidian]

85 PASTA/MIN????

[delicate orchid]

Says online there is, there's also a setting to enable it

[primal obsidian]

what the hell

i have 5/min soon

[sullen gull]

Lol, I'm picking 😛

[upper crypt]

[delicate orchid]

I was excited to play, not so much now 🫠

[upper crypt]

Sloop it and wait half as long?

[primal obsidian]

ohhh wait yeah

your right

[upper crypt]

Does draw 4x the power though.

[sullen gull]

Some have liked to do a lot per minute to feed to the sink

[hard ivy]

20 GW peak consumption

[primal obsidian]

tbh i need some for ficsonium fuel rods so i might just sloop it permananetly

[primal obsidian]

ehhh its fine i have 100 GW excess

[sullen gull]

Take a look at what KYO said about power though 😏

[primal obsidian]

nuclear power

[sullen gull]

Famous last words 🤣

[primal obsidian]

itll balance out with the ficsonium fuel rod

[hard ivy]

those are basically net 0 on power tho

[primal obsidian]

im on a 24/7 server so i cant burn plutonium rods till i get ficsonium so its actually 75% more power for me

[delicate orchid]

Is there somewhere for me to contact support for the game?

[primal obsidian]

and surely ficsonium fuel rods for 12/min cant consume 90 GW right

[tall lantern]

wouldn't surprise me... check a planner

[hard ivy]

prolly not but it can def consume 60

if you sloop it for 24, it could probably do 90

[primal obsidian]

but if i sloop the fuel rods it would be 120 GW of power so wouldnt it jsut give me the same amount of excess power

[charred thistle]

[woven seal]

Yo why it buggin so bad i cant join my friend on ps

[hard ivy]

everything radioactive will need a suit if you get close enough. and won't if you get far enough. the distance depends on radioactivity and amount

[sullen gull]

And, unlike the past, you can keep the suit on all the time.

[grizzled lotus]

I have a merger -> conveyor lift -> floor hole -> conveyor left -> belt. but nothing appears on the belt, any possible reason why?

[fluid sapphire]

at least one of those is not connected

[unkempt blade]

One of your connections didn't do what you thought it did. Remove and replace until it works

[charred thistle]

thats huge 😭 mine is so rinky dinky rn since im low on concrete

[fluid sapphire]

you shall grow, young pioneer

[unkempt blade]

just remember to always add more concrete production every time you have 3m to burn

[charred thistle]

fair enough

[brazen coral]

Does the hover pack have to run off of nearby power grids or does it have batteries?

[fluid sapphire]

power connection points

[charred thistle]

I have enough copper to rival Ea-nāṣir

[brazen coral]

So it can run off of the large power poles then?

[fluid sapphire]

yes, also rail connection points, if the rail is powered

[brazen coral]

Right now all my rails are powered. I only have one rail going back and forth between oil and the main base

Only just cuz it's easier to transport plastic and all its other byproducts that way

[fluid sapphire]

rail is peak

[grizzled lotus]

it's...not working. I can see the iron ingots moving up the conveyor lift, it's either not passing through the hole or it's not passing through the other conveyor lift on the other side

[unkempt blade]

Yep that's how troubleshooting these things work. If the connection "works" you see stuff moving and if it doesn't you remove/replace to fix the issue

[fluid sapphire]

the floor hole and the merger can be picky about the correct spacing

with regards to placing the lift

[grizzled lotus]

could it be the hole?

[unkempt blade]

It could be. That's why you replace it and see if it does the right thing next try 😄

[fluid sapphire]

start building the lift on the floor hole, aim above the merger, then down towards the merger, if it snaps to the merger, its right, if not, wrong distance

[mossy viper]

why is there a meeseeks box in the hub

[earnest bluff]

guys is bolted frame recipe worth?

[unkempt blade]

yeah it's awesome

[worthy tapir]

It's screws right?

[earnest bluff]

yep

[hard ivy]

if you like wasting resources and machines on screws, yes

[worthy tapir]

Oh god I hate screws

[earnest bluff]

is there any good recipe for frame?

[fluid sapphire]

steeled frame 🦾

[hard ivy]

as you should

[unkempt blade]

why?

[worthy tapir]

I spent ten hours making a factory for half of it to be screw production ❤️‍🩹

[hard ivy]

default and steeled

[earnest bluff]

i dont have steel yet

[hard ivy]

with iron pipe, you don't need to use steel, but you do have to have it unlocked

[unkempt blade]

sounds like you should have used a blueprint

[primal obsidian]

steel'

[fluid sapphire]

if you have cast screws, bolted frame will probably do for now

[earnest bluff]

okay tysm

[primal obsidian]

this is why screws are bad

[fluid sapphire]

but default is also fine until you can get steeled frame

[worthy tapir]

I should have...

[hard ivy]

that's just straight up worse than default lol

[fluid sapphire]

fair enough, i dont use either

[grizzled lotus]

ok, fixed. I just kept replacing stuff until it worked, but I think it may have been a bug

[mossy viper]

theres special dialog for flushing the gifts down the toilet LOL

[hard ivy]

bolted plate/frame is only remotely worth considering if you use steel screws. otherwise they're utter trash

[fluid sapphire]

i would never consider anything that uses screws if i can help it (well, after its possible, anyway)

[earnest bluff]

btw 12-15 coal gen is okay?

[worthy tapir]

...

[unkempt blade]

why?

[hard ivy]

depends how much power you need. I'd say it's average

[worthy tapir]

Just use the normal 8 tbh cause you get oil production fast tbh

[fluid sapphire]

make blocks of 8, much simpler

why not just turn your mods off?

[sly heart]

So the little trinkets that get set on the M.A.M as you research stuff disappear when you dismantle it
Is there a way around this or do I just have to suffer with a clean mam (I build one early on and then put a new one on a little stand later for better presentation)

Cus I have a few mods that u can build practical stuff

[primal obsidian]

nvm i had a sloop in the aluminum system i didnt know about

[sullen gull]

Lol, I feel like that was mentioned to you a few days ago 😛

[primal obsidian]

was it?

[sullen gull]

I could be wrong though

[primal obsidian]

maybe it was

[wicked nacelle]

if you middle click select a building to copy the recipe comes with it as well - but c-c and c-v are good for when they're already built yes

[primal obsidian]

WHAT

thats so useful

this woulda saved me so much time

[sullen gull]

Also, if you switch to blueprint dismantle mode and middle click, it will sample blueprints as well

[wicked nacelle]

there's no way to sloop inhalers, is there?

like you can sloop animal parts but not the actual inahlers

[sullen gull]

Inhalers can only be manually crafted unfortunately.

[primal obsidian]

maybe i shouldve watched a video with tips and tricks for satisfactory instead of jsut going straight in with no guidance

[charred thistle]

so I decided put all the smelters right next to the miners and run all the lines to constructors

[sullen gull]

Nah, sometimes learning things by just finding them out can be more satisfying

[charred thistle]

once everything's done like that I'll run splitters to other constructors to make different things and store different things (wires/cables)

[unkempt blade]

you're supposed to give the ore at least one complete lap around the map or the ingots are cursed when they come out of the smelters

[charred thistle]

lap???

[sullen gull]

Gotta let them cool down right? 😏

[charred thistle]

ohhh it's a joke

[unkempt blade]

curses are serious business!

[sullen gull]

Noooooo, he NEVER jokes!

[charred thistle]

power is now a concern-

[wicked nacelle]

are you using the baby ones built into the hub too? but those are only 2/3 of a normal one

but yeah you'll want more either way for sure

[charred thistle]

2 in the hub 2 standalone

i think i can automate biofuel generation-
idea time :3

[sullen gull]

Research Alien tech, sloop three constructors, one for leaves, one for wood, and one for Solid bio, feed into a container, then to 10 biomass power, You will have to gather only half as much

[charred thistle]

[sullen gull]

Goals mate, goals 🙂

[glass pagoda]

Gotta get to making

[wicked nacelle]

they have a consumption per distance traveled... or per minute traveling. They can hover forever though

[shrewd shore]

yeah I just need per minute

[charred thistle]

it'll be aight im trusting my process

bonking my 2 braiincells together

[shrewd shore]

the wiki wasnt rly useful since it doesnt list what the consumption in MJ is

[wicked nacelle]

they don't have a cost per minute no - because they're not always using fuel. Not when they dock not when they wait to dock. not when they're waiting for space to unload

[sullen gull]

But, doing some exploring, grabbing the items around hard drives, and other ore, you can progress rather quickly through the early tiers and MAM research.

[wicked nacelle]

you can compute for your specific drones by hand IF they never have any contention for a port or drop off space

[sullen gull]

Because, as is usually the case, whatever you build through the first bit, most always want to rebuild between phase 2 and 3

[cyan leaf]

What is the sam ore used for?

[charred thistle]

haven't gotten the mam

[shrewd shore]

I just need to know worst case scenario like what is the consumption for a drone from one end of the map to another. I need to decide whether to build my factory near 75 packaged fuel/min or near 400/min.

[charred thistle]

I'm trying to optimize production before progressing

[sullen gull]

Many thing later on.

[wicked nacelle]

It's common to just have a fuel getter drone to power the other drones at a place where you use drones. and I don't know about plain fuel but with rocket fuel 75/m would be massive

[worthy tapir]

Yo is anyone tryna do a multiplayer rn or nah.

[ocean frost]

It's worth while even early on, it's a tree in the mam.

[wicked nacelle]

https://discord.com/channels/370472939054956546/1201555265942724758

[sullen gull]

You will get more buildable to optimize "better" later on. For right now, I wouldn't spend an exorbitant amount of time on your production lines early on.

[ocean frost]

It's just as important as power slugs imo

[worthy tapir]

Ik no one has posted in there for like an hour and the only guy who has is going to sleep

[sullen gull]

Early on? How do you figure?

[wicked nacelle]

when you set up your drone it will give you an estimate of how long each trip is and fuel use per trip so you can just set up a trial one and see what it says

[sullen gull]

You're more than welcome to come into my current save and build some tendrils 🤣

[worthy tapir]

How far in.

[sterile blade]

... Could one run a drone on leaves?
Won't it risk running out of fuel mid-air if going from one extreme of the map to the other?

[sullen gull]

Would have to install mods though 😏

[worthy tapir]

That is thy question

How many now ❤️‍🩹

[wicked nacelle]

drones cannot crash - they won't leave if they can't make it back

[sterile blade]

That doesn't mean it can't run out of fuel xD

[ocean frost]

Steel pipes are very common crash site drops

[brazen coral]

I should be almost able to make drones as soon as I get aluminum production going. And subsequent nuclear power

[wicked nacelle]

drones are great FOR nuclear power because you can fuel them with your plutonium fuel cells

[sullen gull]

Erm ... ok? How does that make SAM useful in early game? (I'm sure there is something I am missing)

[brazen coral]

I didn't actually get trains up and running till after phase 3 was complete xD

Oh that's awesome! I didn't know that

[sullen gull]

I mean, outside of MAM research of course.

[primal obsidian]

yeah i just throw a couple plutonium fuel rods into a container and then never worry about that drone again

[brazen coral]

Also, I might have to be extend the tracks a little bit for the train only because I didn't realize each individual cart needed its own fill up station. I thought it just kind of dumped everything that could fill up

[ocean frost]

You get the personal dimensional depot, honestly the best improvement to your inventory in game

[sullen gull]

I am working on more of an art project atm. There is no production going on in the save as of yet. I have about 415 nodes to still put "Tendrils" on 🙂

[ocean frost]

Store all the crap you find exploring 🙂

[sullen gull]

Right, through the research

[brazen coral]

After I get aluminum I should be able to produce Mark v. Belts then so that'll be the next upgrade

[sterile blade]

Few items from drop pods for a huge payoff in research

[brazen coral]

Got the blender before that so I got to work with that too

[ocean frost]

Drop pods are so good early game

[brazen coral]

What stage can you craft rocket fuel at?

I know you need a liquid containers but I forgot when that actually is

[sullen gull]

Yeah, no, I get that lol. That's what I was saying before. But GIll was saying that SAM is just as important as slugs

[remote orbit]

Can someone explain the difference between turbo rifle ammo and standard rifle ammo? I'm assuming it hits harder and faster at the drawback of more bullet bloom?

[sullen gull]

After you get Advanced Aluminium

[nocturne warren]

Right now I got a factory going to produce the cluster grenades. Those are fun! Those are super fun

And much more of an impact

[wicked nacelle]

I wish they were actually good for much more than clearing vegetation though

[brazen coral]

I mean they hit harder than regular nobelisks on anything that gets stuck to em

I'm not sure if it's worth three to make one for that. Regards but definitely costs less overall

[wicked nacelle]

it's fun to clear out a nest of baby spiders with a bunch of 'em though

[brazen coral]

Really despise those things because they move so fast

Especially the jumping little PAINS

[sullen gull]

I ended up making blueprints, one for all nobelisk types (except gas) , one for all rifle ammo, and one for Rebar ammo

[cyan leaf]

Haha but the nuke nobelisk sounds fun

[sullen gull]

They need some work though

[brazen coral]

Yeah I got the factory producing rifle ammo as well as those cluster

Might make it into homing but I don't have anything producing the high speed connectors right now

Expanding the dimensional Depot at the moment to accommodate for the more complex blueprints I got going so that's always helpful

[sullen gull]

My weapons factory 😛 #screenshots message

Never ended up finishing it though 🤣

The building, not the production. That was working

[brazen coral]

Yeah I don't ever think I'm going to make anything that huge only because I'm only using up so much ammo at a time. It's not really worth it for a big big mass production, like three machines per rifle ammo and nobelisk

Overclock that is

Most of them are just a three machine setup with a balancer distributing, works pretty well

Mark 5 belts are definitely going to change how quickly the inputs get distributed among the smelters at least so that'll be a bonus.

[sullen gull]

Could have used the space better for sure, but this isn't "that" big lol. #screenshots message

Northern forest, grassy fields, crater lakes, blue crater, titan forest, red jungle, spire coast, dune desert, rocky desert, swamp, golden coast, and at least 3 more

[wicked nacelle]

I suggest automating it and then making a belt from the constructor out to your bioburners 🙂

[sullen gull]

The only ones "officially named" are the four starting areas though right? Everywhere else was just named by the community?

Dunno, but the names in calculator are well accepted to the point it's probably irrelevant if they used to not be official 🙂

[lunar python]

you cant do that with normal splitters either

[wicked nacelle]

I beg to differ

[lunar python]

then beg

nah kidding

[wicked nacelle]

Hold control and try it

[gentle lion]

I think I'll just find a nice iron mine setup

I have alt recipes for the pipe and beam so I could do a full iron setup mk2 miners overcooked to 250 with some sloops thrown in along the way

[lunar python]

imma kms, how is this not more clear

[wicked nacelle]

Sloop whatever you want but slooping iron seems especially silly

[unkempt blade]

the big hole is where I think everyone should build everything so you can always do it next project 😆

[sullen gull]

You can upgrade/change "in-place" splitters/mergers, walls, windows, power poles/wall outlets

And I'm sure I'm missing a couple things.

[lunar python]

bruh 😭

[cyan leaf]

Can purposely overproducing somerhing good? As I got compact coal setup a bit far away and is porudicjng enough for my swtup but the travel timing is messing it up

[sullen gull]

You can essentially produce how ever much your heart wants

[gentle lion]

I unlocked the turbo fuel recipe yay

[wicked nacelle]

Yeah. If you screw up downstream it lets your production catch up

[gentle lion]

I can't make it yet. But I have it.

[sullen gull]

I was more getting at the fact that there is no real "best way" or "You HAVE to make x amount" of anything really.

[lunar python]

Actually i aim to always be making exactly 0 screws per minute

[cyan leaf]

But im just saying in general if a part of the factory has some distance and there is travel time is it worth purposely making to much to account for the travel time 😭

[sullen gull]

🤷‍♂️ If that's your prerogative. Then cool beans. Otherwise, there isn't anything wrong with screws.

[sullen gull]

Travel time by belt?

Or train?

[cyan leaf]

By belt and yes they are the max lvl belt for what im on (working on pahse 3)

[shy mulch]

If you can unlock the recipe then you can make it

[wicked nacelle]

Build production in increments no more than one belts worth of screws and produce screws for each section independently

[sullen gull]

Once the belt is full, the end result should still get X/min, no matter how long the belt is

[shy mulch]

The travel time is irrelevant

[lunar python]

did they ever mention screws?

[sullen gull]

Not until to get to other modes of transport

[lunar python]

I thought they had compacted coal

[sullen gull]

The screws bit was to you

[gentle lion]

Well as in I don't have a compacted coal setup yet.

[hard ivy]

Wait till you progress further into the game

[sullen gull]

Also, if doing standard TF setup with comp coal byproduct, factor that being recycled back in and you can produce less in your chain

[shy mulch]

Not built it yet is very different from can't build it

[cyan leaf]

Omg sames

[gentle lion]

Well that sounds like a plan lol

[sullen gull]

There is WAY more space in this game that it seems. Always plan big.

[hard ivy]

About 100 km³

[cyan leaf]

Jesus that's a lot of room 😭

[hard ivy]

Well, probably more like 80 if you don't include the space under the map

[sullen gull]

You indcluding building up? 😏 Or is that just sq m withing the boundry?

[hard ivy]

I think the ³ makes that pretty clear

[sullen gull]

Always love the arrogance here. 👍

[charred thistle]

I have 240 MW available just from biofuel

[shy mulch]

You asked a question that was already answered 🤷

[sullen gull]

Not every one remembers ^3 is cubed mate. Quit riding coat tails plz. kthx

Anyhow, it's roughly 111.7km^3

Or, about 875 foundations length/width, and 1,997m high.

[lunar python]

the map isnt actually square you know

[hard ivy]

That is the most american thing I've heard this week

[hard ivy]

Doesn't need to be square to have an area

[sullen gull]

Anyhow, point being, there is more space than people seem to assume.

[lunar python]

"875 foundations lenght/width" implies a square base, which the map doesnt have

there's a big dent between the blue crater and the dune desert

[sullen gull]

The void? You can build over/in that.

[lunar python]

not if you're dead 💀

[wicked nacelle]

yeah that's actually MORE space since you can go down all the way to the bottom of the map there

[sullen gull]

Technically two voids you can do that to.

[lunar python]

you also cant build over death zones

even if they are inside the visible map

[ocean frost]

Death is a tempoary condition

[sullen gull]

By all means mate, feel free to go do the measureing for a more "accurate" number since it bothers you so.

[hard ivy]

Vertically, the death zones are just flat planes at 2000 m and ~ -250 m

So it's not like you can go up/down a different amount in different places

[sullen gull]

The death border isn't square though. I believe that's what they are referrring

[lunar python]

You seemed genuinely bothered by not realizing that ‘³’ meant something, to the point that you felt the need to clarify ‘it's roughly 111.7km^3’

[hard ivy]

Satisfactory hardcore mode when

[sullen gull]

Lol, I'm not bothered at all. I was curious what it actually was, and it was because of so kindly being reminded, I went ahead and did the math. 🤷‍♂️

[hard ivy]

Maybe 1.2

[ocean frost]

Adds structual integraty into the game, watches every build collapse.

[sullen gull]

Yes please

[ocean frost]

only functional build are those that build on dirt lol

[wanton portal]

I just came here to say that I'm simply amazed that Satisfactory has a Romanian translation, out of all the games I have played I was not expecting Satisfactory to be the third game that has a Romanian translation that I've also played

[gentle lion]

So I'll just conveyor everything to the big hole and just make one huge factory 2km tall

[wanton portal]

It's also really accurate too

[sullen gull]

https://tenor.com/view/doja-cat-star-wars-gif-25078126

[wanton portal]

(The other two games are Minecraft and Euro Truck Simulator 2)

[wanton portal]

This also made me realize that the game just says "Wire" for copper wire, I thought I was tripping at first lmao

[gentle lion]

I really need to setup better pipe and beam manufacturing I'm sure I don't have near enough

[wanton portal]

I saw the language setting and I was like "Imagine if it had Romanian" and then I click on the dropdown and see it

[near thicket]

Do pumps apply backwards behind junctions? If I have four refineries pointing straight up to a different floor and I apply a pump to the line AFTER I've merged the refineries on the next floor, will it apply that headlift to all of the pipes coming out of the refineries?

[sullen gull]

No

[wicked nacelle]

liquid has to reach the pump for it to do anything

there's no concept of priming it or suction force or anything

[frail sleet]

best practice would be merge 4:2:1, pump on straight, then elevate after.

the reason for the pump before any elevation at all (rather than say, 7m up the pipe) is because its valve functionality reduces fluid pooling in the pipes in front of the refineries. It can't do that part effectively if it's elevated above those pipes.

[wicked nacelle]

can you describe that last part better? I don't get it

[sullen gull]

It's stuff that has been thought up for how to try and get fluids to run on straight manifolds imo. 🤷‍♂️

[dense violet]

there's fanatical peeps who enjoy this game, lots of people wanted to help with translations

at least for the wiki, not sure how they went about the actual game

[frail sleet]

Oscillations in fluid levels can have fluid briefly flowing the wrong way/s or some outputs unintentionally prioritised over others unless pipes are built in extremely specific ways. Pump after output mitigates that, and makes it take more severe building issues to clog outputs.

In general it leaves the pipe after the pump fuller, and the pipe before it emptier. That promotes flow in the desired direction.

If the pump/valve is elevated above all of this pipework, then the liquid won't reach the pump as early or as easily so it can't perform that function as effectively.

[hard ivy]

Yeah, a few of my issues have been fixed by putting the first pump on the flat part instead of on the vertical

[upper crypt]

Personally never had an issue with pumps on a vertical. Just keep it low to the horizontal part. Though probably best to not tempt fate too XD

[sullen gull]

Or just save headaches and measure 🤷‍♂️

Beams= the trusty ruler 😛

[frail sleet]

there's no issue with vertical, it just also performs another function that helps (and doesn't hurt) if you put it on the same level as the outputs. Can make the difference between machines stalling or not stalling if you are either making building mistakes or not equally splitting/merging every pipe (some call that a "load balancer", i don't think that terminology really makes sense for outputs :P)

[upper crypt]

Since I tend to saturate pipes wherever possible, I only have issues when I brain fart and mess up the numbers.

[sullen gull]

Pipes should always be full

[frail sleet]

If you build and merge very carefully (like merging the output of 9 refineries down 3:1 and then 3:1 again into a single pipe, using the same amount of pipe objects on every step) then it's fine either way and doesn't help.

If you make mistakes there or you want to make anything remotely resembling a manifold, you will not be able to output 600/600 on most recipies without refineries clogging each other at their shared outputs.

Pump after output lets you get a lot closer to 600.

[compact flicker]

What pioneer helmet do yall use

[frail sleet]

cat

[compact flicker]

Same :3

[sour ledge]

i've played this game since 1.0 came out, and i just realized the pioneer was a woman earlier this week. suffice to say i don't do much customization and just use... whatever the default is 'o.o

[frail sleet]

I would also generally recommend btw not to rely on maxing out the flow rate of liquids. Not because you can't make them flow at those rates - in some circumstances you can do so consistently - but because there is a bug in the game right now which is a giga pain in the ass to mitigate in any other way.

It causes flow to not save/load properly, so whenever you load the game liquid flow stalls a bit.. enough that, say, 100m3 doesn't make it through the pipe.. on every single pipe. If you're using say 500/600 per min on a pipe, that extra liquid builds up in the extractor or previous stage and then it just flows through the spare 100/min flow capacity in the pipe later and catches you back up to normal in 1 minute, probably without any machine stalls and without you noticing because the problem is contained within machine buffers getting a bit emptier temporarily.

If you're relying on a strict 600/600 flow and not a unit less, then it can cause chaos for 15-30 minutes after a save load, causing like 5 machine stalls per pipe before the stalling has caused machines to miss that 100m3 of production/power and filled the buffers properly again.

It can also cumulatively build up even worse problems if you save and load again before it's completely recovered.

It doesn't usually take much flow rate headroom to avoid stalls and cumulative problems even with fairly rapid saving/loading, but it takes some. I would stick to 500-570/600 maximum on liquid pipes just because of this bug honestly.

Much smaller headache to just have more pipes than it is to be diagnosing exactly how the game is breaking.. some reasons are in your control entirely, others mostly, and others not at all (like this save/load bug - there is no mitigation other than just leave pipe flow rate headroom on every liquid pipe in the world). The way that pipes and fluid flow, especially liquid flow are built makes them highly vulnerable to little bugs and quirks like this which can disrupt flow a little bit. If you leave flowrate headroom, basically everything self-corrects harmlessly. If you don't leave any, the corrections cannot happen in the fluid system and will happen by stalling your machines in an uncontrolled and asymmetric manner instead.

[upper crypt]

When I first started playing late in U2, I thought the pioneer was an androgious android. Wasn't until after U5 I found out the truth.

[sour ledge]

i found out 'cause i was taking screenshots and decoupled the camera to show scale vs me and was like "wait a minute"

"do i have boobs?"

[quick barn]

The correct term is "Brested Human"

[compact flicker]

I started a big project and regret doing so >:

I don't wanna reload a save that's like 10 hrs old 😭

[quick barn]

Then don't. Go do something and come back.

[compact flicker]

Less of a loss of motivation, moreso it looks terrible and I don't wanna dismantle 70k concrete worth of foundations

[quick barn]

I've been building turbo fuel powerplant for like two weeks because I dont wanna and ho do other stuff in game.

Ohhh yeah. Let it be functional and get inspired later.

[compact flicker]

It was purely decorational to begin with lol

[fallow magnet]

Hey I found these water nodes how do I use the water inside? I’m trying to make a coal power plant and I saw these like 5 pure nodes of water and I tried doing the water extractor and for most both says “must be placed on deep water” AND water not deep enough, but the big middle one only says one of them like notwater deep enough” or something. Do I have to blow it up first or something? Or is this different and I have to get water from like a lake or something with water extractor for coal power plant

[quick barn]

I've been playing on my Logitech g Cloud streaming the Xbox to it while I'm on the couch chillin. That's when i do the light work.

[compact flicker]

Thats a pressure node, which you unlock later. The pumps need to go into a lake or some such

[compact flicker]

Maybe I should've considered the fact that covering the entirety of the plains in concrete might not look the greatest before I spent 70k concrete doing so :p

[limpid hazel]

those frackers use a ton of power for not a lot of water too, not something you'd want to use before you transition to mass scale fuel power

[fallow magnet]

Ohh ok I see dang I was hyped at first cause I saw pure and like saw it looked like pressure and could make the water flow good

[compact flicker]

I only use those for pure metals because by the time I unlock the pressurizer I have a giant array of fuel generator s

[fallow magnet]

also do you do the same thing for geysers then? Cause I found pure geysers

[compact flicker]

Thats geothermal power, which you need to do research in the caterium tree to unlock

[fallow magnet]

also I have a question there’s supposed to be like quartz near my factory I think like 3 nodes but I go to where the scanner says and it says 100 meters left but like I’m right where it’s showing me to go so I think it may be underground, but I can’t seem to find it

I ran around the area didn’t see cave entrence are there like some caves that go far or something? It’s in rocky desert like kinds nearby that like with a power slug in middle

[fallow magnet]

Oh okay sick like on the mam? Cause I have up to the car (as in like I can unlock car once o get enough stuff and have the noee unlocked previous to it

Node*

[limpid hazel]

yeah, the cave is long, the entrances are on opposite ends of the biome east/west

[compact flicker]

Yeah its a cave. Want me to direct you in the general direction of some of the entrances or do ya wanna explore urself?

[compact flicker]

Ye that

[cyan leaf]

Whats some good yt vids for dealing with acu?

[dense violet]

acus are no different to any other system - pick a goal, pick recipes , make a plan

[fallow magnet]

I’d love if you could help. Cause while normally I’d say no I’ve looked and can’t seem to find it :/

[limpid hazel]

the east entrance is nearby the coal nodes on the edge of the biome

actually both are nearby coal, but the west needs explosives to open

[fallow magnet]

Okay thank you !! And gotcha I don’t have explosives yet so I’ll have to do east then

[compact flicker]

Theres a smaller entrance i believe, i wanna say on the coast. Has a blue slug next to it if im not mistaken

[limpid hazel]

yeah, somewhere along the north beach in the middleish, but I think that's a lot harder to find

[fallow magnet]

Also is there any upgrades similar to blade runners like that maybe let me double jump or run even faster or jump higher, or some other movement upgrade especiallly earlier game ones (like when you’re around tier 3-4, or 5 at max; that kind of time of playing

[limpid hazel]

you just get height tools

[fallow magnet]

@limpid hazel

Okay thank you guys!

[fallow magnet]

What you mean?

[limpid hazel]

go up faster not run faster

[compact flicker]

Although it does help with slidehopping

[fallow magnet]

Also is that geothermal generator you guys told me about good? If so is it something I could get reasonably soon?

[compact flicker]

Its.. Ok

[limpid hazel]

it depends on the scale you intend to play it

[charred thistle]

8 hours I built the space elevator and got automation set up

[limpid hazel]

it could be all you need. or useless.

[fallow magnet]

(I have phase 1 of elevator and all of t3 researched and I think I have one thing of t4 but maybe not, I have a small catering factory and working on coal plant right now but no steel factory yet

[fallow magnet]

Oh how so?

[fallow magnet]

What you mean by this?

[fallow magnet]

Oh okay cool what height tool is there?

[compact flicker]

Finite amount of it around the map so it caps out, but I think the cap is around 30k~

That could be completely wrong tho, I don't mess with it often

[compact flicker]

||jetpack||

[charred thistle]

The Ball Crushing Factory™ is going well

[compact flicker]

Elaborate

[charred thistle]

That's my session name

[compact flicker]

Lmao alr

[limpid hazel]

the max average power you get if you use every spot on the map is 7100mw, which is technically enough to finish the game

[charred thistle]

:3

[limpid hazel]

but if you build bigger factories, it's like, nothing. that's a small handful of nuclear generators.

or barely more than 1 overclocked one.

[charred thistle]

Handful of nuclear reactors is a wild sentence

[compact flicker]

The pioneer can have a little bit of reactor, as a treat

[charred thistle]

Yummy uranium?

[limpid hazel]

192 all overclocked in my world

[charred thistle]

192 nuclear reactors???
YOU CAN OVERCLOCK A NUCLEAR REACTOR??????

[limpid hazel]

yeah, imagine if I had to build 2.5x more of them

[charred thistle]

😭

[compact flicker]

One day I wanna use every possible uranium node and ship it all to the center of the map, where I will produce enough power to uhh.. Idk

Still gonna do it probably tho

[limpid hazel]

it's approximately enough power to maximize the map production

[charred thistle]

Do you have to micromanage the nuclear reactors :0

[limpid hazel]

you can't recycle the plutonium waste if you want to do that, though, it uses too much sam

you have to choose between recycling or production

[charred thistle]

Ooo

Imma go bully people in a VR fps game

[limpid hazel]

only if your factory is somehow flawed, mine runs without intervention

[compact flicker]

Im not gonna go past phase 4, 5 isn't my preffered flavor

[limpid hazel]

up to approx 600,000mw power draw in my world

1/3 of that is just for time crystals

[compact flicker]

I wouldn't mind living on MASSAGE2AB

If I could survive without the life support systems that is

I think the northwestern desert is my favorite spawn

[steel hollow]

im starting yet again a new world

i havent broken through the 3rd phase of space elevators in my entire 1k hours in the game :(

[dense violet]

hmmm at this point I would probably suggest just pusshing through and connect up parts you're alerady producing to make the new items

[obtuse prairie]

what's stopping you from making project parts?

[steel hollow]

real life time

[dense violet]

you'll save more time connecting up already produced items than starting a new world

[steel hollow]

too lazy to make mega factories of highest possible efficiency

also the fact that its a spaghetti so im just starting a new one

i hope i keep it organized now

[dense violet]

you don't need to make them 'efficient' just fill up containers and smoosh items together

[steel hollow]

i think ill start in dune desert
coal power is easy to rush anyways

[steel hollow]

but my brain doesent like "inefficient" factories
i have to make them as efficient as possible

[lunar python]

insane btw

[obtuse prairie]

real
easiest way to do phases (if you're lazy) is to save up the parts necessary to make the project parts and then make a huge amount of assemblers/manufacturers or whatever overclocked to max and feed the parts in

[sullen gull]

Wait ... rocks respawn? tf?

Yeah, I know not normally... But, had to do a reload, so, saved, reloaded, and the rocks were back... but what I built under was still there.

[nimble vigil]

Ok... Idea... Now here me out... 😄 😄 Priority Splitters...

Oh, I use the hell out of them... My issue is running a manifold... It takes for F*KING EVER for the last in the line to fill...

[limpid hazel]

also me prior to 1.0

[nimble vigil]

Yes... I've got a few spots that run 3 outs from the programmables, into smarts to further split them out... Think more like building a line of Iron Smelters... with a full 1200 belt line...

[limpid hazel]

nobody "needs" one, it just makes it easier

[north summit]

@solemn pulsar your building looks good #screenshots message

maybe try adding a few pillars clipped to the corners for some depth if you're still not satisified with it but it does look really good

[limpid hazel]

you would have designed a way around it if you didn't have one

like we all used to

[nocturne warren]

is there any way to go over 200m limit with elevators?

[limpid hazel]

when all the workarounds already exist it's hard to see when you would use a more basic tool

[nimble vigil]

space.

[limpid hazel]

not exactly a limiting factor

[cyan leaf]

Okay which is better crystal computer or caterium?

[nimble vigil]

it also makes things like balancers much easier to create

[nimble vigil]

depends on your build I guess.

[limpid hazel]

and not really the point, the point is, when you don't have priority mergers, and you've already designed around that fact, it's reasonable to say that nobody needs them, without immediately seeing what could be simpler if you did have them

I mostly just use them for belt compressors, but before easy, compact, belt compressors, I just used more unfull belts

[nimble vigil]

So, your point is, when you don't have a need for it then it shouldn't exist, because you can find a work around, instead of just having the right tool...

[limpid hazel]

the point is what i said

snutt did nothing wrong

[cyan leaf]

I don't have the oscillators but I just saw the crafting toke for it and I didnt want that 😭 im lucky to get the caterium

[crimson lantern]

Is cheap silica worth nabbing?

😭 i feel like i got the worse one

[shrewd shore]

for anyone wondering... from ~800m to 3km distance, consumtion is in the ballpark of 18/min. so I am guessing a good ballpark number to use is like 20 or 25/min per drone. to be on the safe side.

[crimson lantern]

Best youtubers on how to organise your factory? I'm gonna destroy it all rebuild in a way that makes sense.

[buoyant veldt]

It's a gigafactory/warehouse next to some cliffs. So I started at the top of the cliffs and couldn't get anything up to the factory. So I have to build down.

[glad quest]

nah

[worthy tapir]

Considering the fact it may reduce my efficiency.

[buoyant veldt]

And it's way more wide than it is tall.

[glad quest]

ngl never rlly got past modular frames lol

tho i had more fun soo

i ws 15 tbf

[lunar python]

I was thinking. you only need like 16 blenders and 10 refineries to make enough rocketfuel to power 288 gens. only using like 1600 MW

[glad quest]

weird numbers

i aint doing 4.17 math

ive never actually done it lol

without mods atleast

[dense violet]

no problem, common rookie mistake 🙂

comes up several times a day at least in server

I'm too foggy to pick up the joke if there is one, sorry Max 😛

[buoyant veldt]

I'm not psychotic enough to build that way.

[dense violet]

if there wasn't , I technically have never bothered to sent up Phase 4 last package or in 1.0 phase 5. It's basically all set up in my last save though

just ... haven't really played in a long while

[lucid pagoda]

does drone speed change based on fuel? im using plutonium rods, could i use normal fuel and get the same results

[dense violet]

dif fuels dif speeds

which is why the graphs are an estimate of throughput

look up the drone wiki page for further details

[cyan leaf]

Fff idk whether or motivation to hunt down hard drives for heavy frames acts 😭

[west hazel]

work on unlocking the object scanner node for hard drives

[small tartan]

am i still on early game even tho i finished phase 1

[dense violet]

well, all the tiers can be considered a tutorial until you've unlocked everything and the game becomes a sandbox?

but also you've barely unlocked any of the tools just after phase 1

[small tartan]

barely???

my gosh that game is long

[whole drum]

It's the best, honestly

[solid grail]

Ye very early game

[wicked nacelle]

VERY early game. And the processes will become MUCH more complicated

[small tartan]

[west hazel]

a wise wierd ai chick once said "you function exactly as i expect you to function, no better, no worse."

[night summit]

Do you unlock alternate recipes when you complete phases or unlock teirs

[white dawn]

Nope -- Mostly just by scanning hard drives via your MAM

[night summit]

I know i mean like the recipe pool

[white dawn]

There's a few which are still considered "alt recipes" which are unlocked via more usual MAM research, though two of those still require hard drives to unlock (but don't take the 10min scanning time)

Oh oh

Yeah, gotcha, reading is hard

[night summit]

Lol your good

[white dawn]

More recipes become available in the pool whenever you unlock the buildings/resources necessary for the recipe

[dense violet]

yes the pool increases when you unlock techs and parts

[white dawn]

So it can happen with various Milestone unlocks, or even bits of MAM research

So it's not just when you complete phases or clear out tiers, etc.

[dense violet]

Its possible you can get alts that you can't technically make yet if the building isn't unlocked? not 100% on that

[night summit]

Yea like the pure ingot ones

[white dawn]

Yeah, in the past you could get the "Pure" recipes prior to having Refineries

I seem to think they might have patched that up in 1.0 though?

[dense violet]

I honestly haven't paid that close attention in hte 1.0 thing. I treat the tiers like a tutorial to burn through xD

[night summit]

No they didnt i have those sitting in my waiting to be selected that iv had since i was phase 1

[white dawn]

The weirdest one to me at the moment is that you can unlock half of the Quartz Purification chain way early, and have to wait ages to get the second half

[white dawn]

Ah, alas. I hadn't been paying too close attention either. :D

Although looking at those recipes again I have no idea why that'd be the case

I distinctly remember wondering why in the world I'd already gotten one of those recipes way early, on my 1.0 playthrough, though. Hrm.

[night summit]

Is there any alternative stator recipes?

[strong fiber]

How do i split a belt into 30 and 15/ min

[dense violet]

1 splitter. It'll self balance

[strong fiber]

ok

[dense violet]

assuming one side isn't a sink

[strong fiber]

Its a box bru

Basically the same thing 🙁

[dense violet]

a container will eventually fill up and it'll still balance

[strong fiber]

but only 15/min is going into the container so it will be a while

[dense violet]

you could also use a smart splitter and feed over flow to the container

or make 2 different machines, 1 that makes 30, 1 that makes 15

[strong fiber]

Thats what i might do fr

[dense violet]

and just feed the two things with different belts

smart splitter is easy though

[rustic hare]

can't you just use a normal 3 way splitter and merge 2 of them into 1?

45 = (15 + 15) + 15 = 30 + 15?

[leaden turret]

🌈 basic math 🌈

[dense violet]

you could but a smart splitter is easy

[leaden turret]

[if I had one meme template] "this is where I'd put my smart splitter, if I'd unlocked it"

[glossy venture]

lmao ive never seen this before. If you spam learn techs in the MAM, Ada will get mad at cut herself off lol

[hard stump]

Ok lfg on this discord starting to piss me off

[dense violet]

weird xD

[dense violet]

most people don't want to play with randos.

And I might be wrong, but it seems like most peopel want others to join them instead of joining others.

[rustic hare]

yeah that one time I speedran the world with my friend 🤣

[glossy venture]

yeah i researched like 4 things while she was already talking, and she stopped talking and a big ❗ message replaced it, saying "by all means learn the hard way"
ANd she just stopped talking lol

[rustic hare]

most people want to take the lead like "my world my rules"

[dense violet]

I wouldn't want even people I know in my world. I make things the way I like it xD

[glossy venture]

Mom said its my turn to host the satisfactory world

[dense violet]

its always your turn!

[rustic hare]

let me brother in my world once, and he started doing spaghetti, I freaked the f out

[hard stump]

No that’s not my issue I’m perfectly fine with getting Zero replies just ligit first word is Xbox and it’s all pc. Players who are like I’ll join. So I’ll say I’m on Xbox then they go oh I’m on pc or my post ends up getting hacked by someone else inviting the player and using my post as a lfg and that’s ok but ask help here then it’s wrong. And that’s like the third time iv fallen asleep woke up see a few messages on my post get excited nope it’s someone saying they will join then someone else offering to let them join their world and the dude who said they kin goes sorry to busy on the other word

[dense violet]

calks shot gun time to have one less brother

[hard stump]

Like I’d rather have zero replies then people just post jack or somehow complete read over the word Xbox just on my last nerve

[dense violet]

random people suck, it's true. Also people don't read. Have you met people?

they suck

[glossy venture]

I havent used tractors in awhile.. How reliable are they are delivering stuff? lol Like could i rely on it to deliver 120/m worth of limestone over a medium(ish) distance

[hard stump]

But it’s like wtf is the point of making us use lfg and then constantly removing questions here for help if you don’t give a shit about people using it. Like honestly more people have found people to help using my lfg then mine. I’m about temped to just say screw it and just scroll thru every Xbox post and do the same.

[dense violet]

if one vehicles doesn't have the throughput you could always add another to the route

[glossy venture]

True

I need to get a concrete factory going. Cause lord knows Ima need a lot of it lol

[dense violet]

I'm not sure what you mean by 'removing questions' ?

[rustic hare]

reliable, they'll just respawn if they gets flipped or stuck, but don't have the return route overlap the incoming route if you plan to add multiple tractors to the same track

[glossy venture]

yeyeye

[late rivet]

I'm pretty sure I was one of those people who replied, I am replying from my PC but I play mostly on Xbox.

[leaden turret]

if post hijacking is a problem, might be ticket-worthy.

enough people get a bollocking for being jackasses, the trend might stop

[rustic hare]

what I dislike abt them is the need for fuel

while trains are just "sipp, ahh, good electricity"

[glossy venture]

Man, im realizing now i chose a TERRIBLE place to start off in this playthrough xD oh well.

[leaden turret]

electric trains are just oil trains with extra steps

[dense violet]

how so? the starting zones are very similar.

[hard stump]

Simply asking for help with a project can’t do that has to be lfg fair enough but then it’s like no point in lfg cuz it’s just no1 makes their own post they just hop on others 3 times iv woken up with replies and it’s happened
You know i get it people want it on their world hard to find those who want to play in others. If I got zero replies ever thats suck but you know it’s fine. N the 2 people who ever actually responded both missed the fact I put in all caps somehow and it’s the first words XBOX again it sucks having no replies but is what it is

[rustic hare]

rocket fuel trains with a grid

[leaden turret]

one could choose to start in the swamp

[glossy venture]

Its not the starting zone itself, its jsut where i decided to start off in the starting zone lol. Around a lot of normal/impure nodes. When I should of went like.. 2000m off a bit and been around a ton of pure nodes lol

And since i dont have trains yet, compiling a ton of shit spread out nodes into one area is a pain lol

[dense violet]

I think you're just having bad luck with people sniping randos for you.

hell maybe talk to a mod about it cause it's a total ass move

[dense violet]

eh impure nodes are fine. And early on often better because you can't extract everything from normal / pure nodes at max over clock

just costs you a little bit more power per ore

[leaden turret]

doesn't LFG have platform filters?

Is fuel power gonna be complicated to set up?

[ivory condor]

not at all, its straight forward

[wicked nacelle]

it's braindead. they massively buffed it in 1.0

[night summit]

Do i need water at all?

[wicked nacelle]

if you want it to not suck

but all oil is right by water except for the dune desert patch (I think)

[mortal ginkgo]

the first recipe is really easy, you put oil, get fuel out. it will get things going. You can let things go advanced later on

[ivory condor]

massively buffed is a understatement, considering how strong rocket fuel is, for fuel power it definitely makes fuel over powered

[wicked nacelle]

for how simple the process is yeah

[mortal ginkgo]

if you like putting 3945834583085038508345038053 fuel gens that is

[night summit]

So i should not try to get turbofuel right off the bat?

[ivory condor]

yep rocket fuel is strong indeed

[mortal ginkgo]

PREPARE YOURSELVES FOR I AM ABOUT TO GIVE A HOT TAKE!: Fuel Powdered Gens look ugly as heck.

[wicked nacelle]

no reason not to ship in sulfur and coal right away but you'll want diluted fuel too. but turbo fuel before diluted fuel isn't bad

[wicked sleet]

phase 3 is done yaaaaaaaaaaaaay

[wicked nacelle]

no one thinks fuel gens are attractive

it is AMAZING as it finally gets rid of the sink.

its job is not to provide power but get rid of the nuclear waste.

I was disappointed to say it didn’t destroy my structures

[ivory condor]

Alright more hot takes, rocket fuel is bad and needs to change

[wicked nacelle]

but nuclear needs to change too. And it's not a hot take. It's obvious that they OP'd rocket fuel for noobs that can't handle a challenge

[ivory condor]

What I think needs to happen is rocket fuel needs a nerf and nuclear power needs a buff of some type, because the game should reward complexity of builds more

[wicked nacelle]

You should be able to beat the game minimally with noob juice but it should be WAY better if you put in the effort

@ivory condor you and me -- we only talk about fuel generators as burning noob juice from now on :0

[ivory condor]

burning noob juice

fine I shall refer to rocket fuel as noob juice from now on

[sullen gull]

For any of you that have upped the UObject limit in the ini, does it still crash when it gets to the default max (Maximum number of UObjects (2162688) exceeded when trying to add 1 object(s))? Also, given that on that same line says: "make sure you update MaxObjectsInGame/MaxObjectsInEditor/MaxObjectsInProgram in project settings", is one supossed to increase the limit for each of those? Most of what I have found just says to increase the limit for MaxObjectsInGame and MaxObjectsInEditor.

[wicked nacelle]

I have mine set to 10M and it's great. My object count goes up 100k every time I open the map on my main save

did you not save after editing?

[sullen gull]

I also had mine set to 10M, still got that crash

[wicked nacelle]

super double check the file

[sullen gull]

Nah, I triple checked it ... was there

gimme a sec let me get my lazy ass out of bed

[sullen gull]

Lol, I mean, you don't have to go to that much effort. Though appreciative 🤣

[wicked nacelle]

now let's grow a beard while it loads the save....

[ivory condor]

100k everytime you open the map, that doesnt sound good👀

[sullen gull]

Yeah, when messing about a ton in blueprint designers, it goes up quick.

[wicked nacelle]

well it goes back down eventually

[ivory condor]

still that indicates a possible memory leak somewhere

[sullen gull]

BUT, I am using that UObject counter mod as well, so I am wondering if that is messing with it.

that behavior i wouldnt expect, this game sure does weird things sometimes

I'm leaning towards I'm just dumb so not smart enough to understand whats happening with software anymore

Hey I need help in making first ever coal power plant and I see it needs like 113 water per minute, but I don’t see how much coal it needs or uses per minute, how does it work and how much do I do? Like is my power output limited by my water or my coal? (This is with 3 power shard over clock)

[wicked nacelle]

That’s the best early game coal power setup

[ivory condor]

@unborn gyro It's ok because we'll never stop mewing regardless

[dense violet]

all it does is save space. Which you have infinite of

[wicked nacelle]

Not really when you can just make more and likely have limited sheds

[dense violet]

you could just build more coal gens

[fallow magnet]

Oh okay cool

[ivory condor]

Where are my void rays I need them

[fallow magnet]

Sorry I’m a bit confused by coal power honestly a lot different than the other stuff so far

[dense violet]

the layouts above are handy because they need exactgly 1x mk2 belt of coal and 3 water extractors

[bold heron]

I don't remember if they changed overclocking to be linear or if it's still exponential. It's best to save your power shards though, they're limited until tier 9

[dense violet]

good for beginners

[fallow magnet]

How does that picture like is the water extractors all linked or?

[night summit]

The three impure nodes?

[dense violet]

they're just like assemblers - 2 inputs 1 output (power)

[ivory condor]

@wicked nacelle where are my void rays, give them back

[dense violet]

the pipes are the yellow dotted lines

[bold heron]

3 extractors to 8 generators. However, one pipe only holds 300. Each extractor makes 120. So you end up with a weird overflow pipe becuase 3x120 = 360. I usually connect two extractors together and then connect the other one partway through the generators, if that makes sense

[ivory condor]

Fine let me go get my mews they'll help me find my void rays

[sour ledge]

been saving up meat for awhile. Finally get around to setting up an array to sloopx2 it all into dna kits and i have over 3400 alien dna to sink...

[bold heron]

Northern coast has a lot of oil, it's roughly west of the dune desert, past the super tall cliffs. You can follow the road south of you and head west on it to get there. There's some oil on the way but the bulk of it is further down the road

[sour ledge]

one day ima get that trophy... and maybe it'll be today lol

[fallow magnet]

I’m just a bit confused by the like connections am I placing one of those 4 way pipe things at each intersection? An the two extractor at bottom it’s diagonal

[sullen gull]

Lol, probably need to go back to bed? 🤣

[fallow magnet]

I think? Are the two extractors hitting the same pipes together?

Sorry idk why but the fluid part just really confuses me

[bold heron]

Yes, place one of those at each intersection. The three different pictures are some different simple layout options for you. But yeah, basically one pipe junction at every intersection, and make sure at least one extractor feeds in from the far end or not all the water will fit in the pipe

[fallow magnet]

By far end do you mean when it comes to the 2 that are together each of them go far right and far left?

[bold heron]

Oh don't worry, it only gets worse /hj

[fallow magnet]

Also should I be building the power plant near my coal nodes or near lots of water? There’s like lots of water in this cave I can bring it over but also thid little pond I was using and made a pipeline over to the coal nodes and where I had placed foundations, should that be the overflow one then and then the cave I can do two there?

[fallow magnet]

Oh no ahaha

[sullen gull]

Not sure where you're at, but here is a great spot for coal power: #screenshots message

[bold heron]

Ideally near the water. If the pipes go uphill too much you'll need pumps
