[ivory condor]

How about becoming addicted to

[fallow magnet]

Woah that’s so cool

Yea I had pumps I was using

[sullen gull]

#screenshots message

[fallow magnet]

How far do the pumps go? Like it says 20 meters up but can I go more than 20 lke distance

[sullen gull]

If you need to go above 20, add a pump 18m above the last one.

It will show a blue bubble, go just before it, don't snap to the bubble.

[fallow magnet]

Sorry I mean like is it 20 vertical but no horizontal? Or?

[bold heron]

You can go as far horizontal as you need to, no pumps needed. You only need them for vertical movement

[sullen gull]

Pumps only add headlift. Meaning how HIGH you can push fluids. They do nothing, except maybe control flow direction, for flat horizontal pipes.

[ivory condor]

I still remember when conveyor lifts werent in the game and spiral belts all the way

[mortal ginkgo]

they also create work pressure... so.. yeah.. it do be like that sometimes

[sullen gull]

Also, mk2 pumps go 50m

[ivory condor]

Who else remembers when splitters and mergers couldnt be stacked back in the day, those were some fun builds

[fallow magnet]

Ohhh okay so like if I need sudden up I need pump? But long way of slight ups slight downs is ok no pumps?

Should I have a pump at the start for longer pipelines?

[sullen gull]

Afaik, "pressure" is only dictated by the amount in the pipe segment next to eachother.

[fallow magnet]

What’s that

[sullen gull]

I.e., full pipes = max possible "flow" and no "sloshing"

[tranquil saffron]

don't be ashamed to ask about how headlift properly works on pipes ... i sacrificed some of my sanity just trying to figure it out on my own

had to literally look up a guide 😂

[sullen gull]

If you have three pipe segments, A, B, and C, on a flat plane, B will not provide full flow until A is full, and worse so for C.

[mortal ginkgo]

I saw the video, one guy having 2 pipes connected to junction but one has a pump. The tank connected to the pipe with pump had emptied out by 90% while the other tank was only 10% emptied.

Work pressure is a thing even for pumps and its not explained anywhere else. You can try this too.

[fallow magnet]

thank you haha the whole water thing is quite overwhelming To me I don’t know why but something about it being a fluid is really messing with me like do I need a pump at the start and need the extractor to start with a pipe going down hill?

[bold heron]

Sometimes I like to pump my fluids up to buffers high up so I never have to worry about headlift again haha

[sullen gull]

Oooo, interesting, gotta link?

[fallow magnet]

Oh ok I think I understand, but the all fill up eventually?

[mortal ginkgo]

lemme see if I can find out

[bold heron]

The extractor has 10m of lift built in but after that you need a pump

[tranquil saffron]

add one pump, then check headlift down the line, add another if you need more headlift ... but adding too many pumps will actually decrease headlift ... just keep adding one by one and checking as you go

[fallow magnet]

Does it make my coal power plant work better with good pressure?

[bold heron]

I started playing just before 0.4. Oil used to come in barrels on a conveyor

[mortal ginkgo]

no its not THAT complicated, dont bother yourself with what I said, its mostly about byproduct water

[fallow magnet]

How do I check deadlift? Sorry for all the questions guys I’m just so confused haha

[fallow magnet]

Oh okay I see thank you

[tranquil saffron]

interact with the pump it will be displayed there on a meter

[fallow magnet]

Do I need to start my pipeline with the water going downhill slightly? Or at least straight like if it’s starting even a slight amount up to go to the pump will it have issues?

[fallow magnet]

Oh okay thanks

[tranquil saffron]

i just start mine flat with a pump, that will get you started up an incline and pushing down the line, think its like 300m range per pump

[mortal ginkgo]

3:57 mark

[tranquil saffron]

once u understand pumps u can build up any mountain its fun

[sullen gull]

Eventually, But, if you run machines in one long straight manifold, the ones on the end will have issues and "starve". My opinion is to always keep the "main feed" line in a loop. I.e, if you just have a single pipe of 300 or 600 coning into a manifold, do this: #screenshots message. If you are using more than 600 (when you have mk2 pipes) and are feeding >600, feed from both ends of a manifold first.

If, any of that made sense 😏

[severe cliff]

water extractors give u a free 10m head lift u can count it with the 4m walls

with the mk1 pumps you get 20m head lift above and when you interact with it it’ll tell how much head lift it’s giving and th max it can guve

[wicked nacelle]

I just say if it goes over the extractor it needs a pump

[tranquil saffron]

speaking of pipes, i need a hypertube pump to increase my speed again, instead of just going down hills for speed

[little shale]

How do I get rid of dark matter residue? I’m looking at ficsonium which uses dark matter residue, but when using it to make the fuel rod it produces dark matter residue again

[fallow magnet]

Feed both end with like two different extractors?

[dense violet]

put more entrances along it

[bold heron]

just build a HT cannon and zoom

[wicked nacelle]

recycle it -- it's usually super easy. worst case make crystals and a smart splitter overflow to sink them

[tranquil saffron]

oh ty i didnt know if that would work 🙏

[severe cliff]

try alternate recipes i’m not 2 sure

[dense violet]

use some of the dark matter residue in the whole system

like waste water in bauxite

[fallow magnet]

Okay cool, so like from what you guys told me does that mean it’s fine to get rid of like most of the pumps cause I was making one every 40 meters or so and went like 300 meters ish maybe bit less, terrain went up and down but not by that much

[dense violet]

I think joints along the hyper tube also give you a boost? can't recall

[wicked nacelle]

who cares about lazy people 😛

[little shale]

So recycling won’t end up in a surplus of it? That’s my worry

[wicked nacelle]

oh I would LOOOOVE if that happened. but alas no it doesn't

[dense violet]

ok so how much DMR are you using in the system, and how much waste are you making?

[wicked nacelle]

you don't get more out than what you put in

[tranquil saffron]

i hope so, building towers just to get around with hypertube is really tedius

[dense violet]

like how much does hte main process need?

[fallow magnet]

What’s that mean? Joints?

[dense violet]

I put them under rails or just make a sloppy line on the ground

[tranquil saffron]

hypertube entrance

[dense violet]

every time you put down a stand , and make more tube after

so not entrances specifically

[bold heron]

hypertubes have a couple of special junctions: A Y and a y (different)

[little shale]

Haven’t predicted so far ahead. Just reading recipes and found out I might eventually be stuck with too much dmr

[dense violet]

ok i'll ping you in #math-and-meta

[tranquil saffron]

does anyone know when the ficsmas items are ending

[dense violet]

!wikisearch ficsmas

[raven axle]

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

[tranquil saffron]

oh wow thats plenty of time good

[wet cloak]

It’s very generous

[tranquil saffron]

ya and i love the fact i can build all that stuff with cheats too

ok, seems like the cannon method works in 1.1

[hard stump]

So train stations. Went and placed them to look at. Noticed the freight one looked the same but had the storage thing attached obviously. Is there really a point to place multiple stations? Length of train or something? How many cars per train?

[last tartan]

does the game naturally look atrocious from a really far distance? My settings are all ultra.

[cyan leaf]

Yes to having multiple as some stuff u need will be far

[cyan leaf]

Whats the answer?

[sullen gull]

Sometimes you have multiple items coming from a factory. Sometimes one may be drop off and one pickup...

Somtimes you need multiple cars for throughput needed of a single item

[last tartan]

apologies, i do not have foliage loading on cinematic 👍

[hard stump]

Yeah that was the plan 1 drop off 1 pick up but wasent sure what the point of the train station itself was if let’s say I placed multiple freight ones. Other then maybe looks and aesthetics if you wanted a longer train.

[cyan leaf]

What is tue po8jt of more then like 1 ir 2 cars? Cause for me 1 is always enough

[last tartan]

WOW i turn and my fps drops from 210 to 40

this is glorious, wonderful playing conditions

[cyan leaf]

😭 u kinda answered the train station one cause u need it to use freight ones

[sullen gull]

You need the train STATION as a stop point. You can't just add freight/fluid platforms as stand alone platforms

The Stations are what are needed for the Time Table.

[tranquil saffron]

do the big flood lights turn off after a certain distance flying away from them? i like that i can still see the spotlight but the light itself is gone

[severe cliff]

how should i set up a splitter manifold for manufacturers? i dont wanna have all the conveyors going thru eachother

[hard stump]

Ok that’s what I was confused on if was needed or more of a look thing for longer train but not wanting the container look per se.
there a purpose of mutiple connected other then longer train then?

[sullen gull]

Well, you cannot load and unload from a single station for starters. So, yeah, longer train as you would need two freight cars. If you only have one locomotive and one car, then you only need one freight/fluid station.

[cyan leaf]

Wait we would need multiple freight stations per car

[sullen gull]

Not sure how you mean...

[cyan leaf]

Like a freight station per train car i meant whoops

[sullen gull]

Yeah. Though, there could also be a scenario where you may have a locomotive and 4 cars, but, at X factory you only want to load/unload from car 3, you'd make a station>empty>empty>fluid/freight platform.

[cyan leaf]

Ahh alr alr

For fluid frieghts they can be just straight up fluid state or has to be packaged?

[sullen gull]

straight fluid.

[near frost]

whats one of the biggest f--- ups you ever did?

[sullen gull]

Be sure to also use buffers at all platforms. It helps when the platforms stop thier input/outputs during load/unload.

[sullen gull]

Deleted a power line going to iron and nitro production for a large rocket fuel factory and didn't realize until too late 😛

[near frost]

how the flip do u even recover... oh ya power storage

[sullen gull]

Eh, shut off a couple other plants and reconnect coal 😛

Prioity power switches are the goat 😛

[near frost]

oh ya these i dont even know how to use them

[compact flicker]

I just like 10gw hrs of batteries

[near frost]

my next project is just a big box with batteries in it

[sullen gull]

It allows for configuring which plants would shutdown first if power starts going low. But, they also allow for turning any off/on that are on the grid, from anywhere on your grid

[near frost]

cuz i kinda f--- up a lot

i was just wondring does anyone even play with multiple power grids like why and how do u even do that just make one big one

[sullen gull]

The nice thing is, unless something is thrown in the sink or trash, you never really "loose" anything. Just time 😛

[sullen gull]

I'd say personal preferences. Some like the "organization" of it 🤷‍♂️

I've done a save where different large factories had their own power plants

Be they coal, or fuel.

[near frost]

i mean discounting my rocket fuel production from the rocket fuel gens and wondring where the flip did 32GW of power go

[sullen gull]

Not connect coal gens? not all plants running? Miss connecting a power line somehwere?

[near frost]

that is also a way to use them but at the same time foucsing on one big plant is way ezier then every time staring a build i have to build a small power plant that may not even be enough power

[sullen gull]

I've dont that with huge builds lol. Did it to myself though, as i like to hide ever wire 😛

[near frost]

and oh ya also a big probelm that i have in deleting my old power plant whenever buillding a new one... i should real avoid that

[sullen gull]

Usually not reccomended... But, then again, your game 🙂 If you still have enough to progress, 🤷‍♂️

[compact flicker]

I wish us console players could manually edit color numbers >:

[sullen gull]

You can't?

[near frost]

get a temp keyboard

[near frost]

i know its not ideal but.... its fun or is it idk even know anymore

i just do it

[compact flicker]

Gimme 2 mins I'll report back on if it works or not

[sullen gull]

Anymore I spend way too much time building things that'll :stay 😛 #screenshots message

[near frost]

ya me too i spend wayyy more time buillding then actually factorying

[compact flicker]

Console does not currently support kbm @near frost

[near frost]

oh sad

then get a pc its only like a grand

[compact flicker]

No -10 vantablack concrete for me lol

[compact flicker]

My next upgrade will be PC

:3

[near frost]

good luck with that

[near frost]

BUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT there has to be a way

[tacit bough]

Better watch out for the new ram price lmfao

[near frost]

oh ya that

[tacit bough]

Gonna make building a PC even more expensive now

[wicked nacelle]

Consider yourself lucky you’re even still allowed to build your own computer 😕

[near frost]

and a big ram compny is leaving PCs behind for AI

[near frost]

get used parts its not that bad

[tacit bough]

Yeah just as I am thinking about upgrading for more ram aswell lmfao

[wicked nacelle]

[frosty bloom]

So, i was building a huge nuclear plant, and got abit overwhelmed, decided to take a small brake, which ended up abit too long. Now i´m at a state, i have effing idea, what i was doing before the brake... Even that i have a sheet what i need to produce. Now i´m probably going to spend this day to figure out, what i was doing. Can anyone relate to this kind of issue? ^^

[compact flicker]

Sounds like how I spend most of my time in game

[frosty bloom]

At start, i just wanted Nuclear, and process the waste for disposal. I did that, and decided, fck it, all in, all the way to Ficsonium Fuel Rods... -.-

And holy shit how much it takes to build... Going to use 1800 Uranium, so it´s not a small build, or simple... Why can´t i just be happy with a small plant...

[night summit]

Does turbofuel make more power or just last longer?

[frosty bloom]

I lasts longer

[ivory condor]

yeah but i would recommend not going mass scale for turbofuel, thats more suited for rocket fuel

go turbofuel as step towards nuclear if thats your plan, or go rocket fuel if your going for mass fuel power

[compact flicker]

Generators always produce the same amount of power, but less of a better fuel is used for the same amount of power

[cyan leaf]

What tier does nuclear come in?

[cyan leaf]

Ffff im just setting up the stuff for phase 3 😭

[limpid orchid]

Before i Complete Phase 3, what Maschine should i build to be ready? #screenshots message

[cyan leaf]

Ngl could I see ur engine and acu setup 😭 as I have no idea for even an acu setup

[rigid glen]

I would double your power output before taking on any new projects

but that's me, I don't like to worry about power

[limpid orchid]

#screenshots message Dont make the Tower to slim. For the Acu

[cyan leaf]

The pic u shown is that ur acu setup or engine?

[limpid orchid]

Acu

[cyan leaf]

Ohh i assume u went and setup a brand new branch factory?

[limpid orchid]

new Branch Factory(Im not native i dont know what you mean really)

[cyan leaf]

Like its not ur main factory (aka ur starting point base baiscally(

[limpid orchid]

Nah, the Tower alone is the ACU alone. But the Tower is in my Main Factory so i didnt Started new.

[limpid orchid]

But are there like maschines i should Automate?

So all things are automated but i mean like high tech things.

[hollow onyx]

the devs should impliment optiscaler into the game cause holy crap i just got free performance even after toggling on the higher settings

[dense violet]

@junior arch no you have ot paint simbols and pattersn on it to have the secondary colour show

[limpid orchid]

#screenshots message

Like should i automate these?

[dense violet]

sorry wrong ping @junior arch

[limpid orchid]

Before completing phase 3?

[hollow onyx]

do all of those except for high speed connectors

[mortal ginkgo]

why did you do my cute lil high speed connector like this 😭

[dense violet]

@compact flicker you have to paint a pattern on the foundation. Like a number or something with the customizer

[mortal ginkgo]

I am automating speed connectors for the gun ammo

[limpid orchid]

Should i do them before Completing Phase 3 or will i destroy them in Phase 4 again?

[hollow onyx]

uhh if you plan ahead well enough you shouldnt have to

this is just me but i have 36/m computers 6.67/m heavy modular frame and 20/m crystal oscilaters but im using 18/m to make my computers so i only have about 2/m on hand

[cyan leaf]

Computer and heavy are 100% do the crystal one only if u have something that uses but if not dont

[junior arch]

Oh lol. Was so confused

[compact flicker]

I know its so you cant push them out of the water, but not being able to nudge water pumps is annoying -w-

[cyan leaf]

Lol also whats a safe amount of circuits per Minnie to make?

[bleak lion]

anyone know if theres a mod to either remove the line on glass foundations or something similar? its annoying having to place them all the same direction

#screenshots message this pipe setup should work fine right?

[nocturne orbit]

wait, you can run conveyor lift to from regular (horizontal) splitters/mergers?

[compact flicker]

You can place the splitters/mergers directly on the vertical lifts as of 1.1

[sterile blade]

I'm not sure what you mean, but only splitters/mergers placed on lifts have inputs/outputs on the top and bottom

They're not even a different object you can build, so you can only build one by snapping a normal splitter to a lift

[cyan leaf]

From a scale of 1-10 how annoying is phase 4?

[compact flicker]

Define annoying

[cyan leaf]

Like once u enter phase 4 a 1 is easily manageable and not a lot of factory rework but a 10 is need a whole day to just get a single thing

[sterile blade]

If you're supposed to make more aluminun then I suppose that having a continuos production of it is supposed to be good :P

[nocturne orbit]

I mean that I need to attach lift to normal input/out of vanilla (horizonal) merger/splitter in order then attach merger/splitter to that lift
or can I just somehow have a splitter/merger that both does it's magic horizontally and vertically, allowing for a tower that just splits/merges belts nicely?

[compact flicker]

Hook up the excess water to a wet concrete refinery or a coal plant. Limestone is everywhere and I know you're not using all the coal you're shipping in for that bauxite :3

[nocturne orbit]

#screenshots message

[sterile blade]

I have a hard time parsing this...
Have you actually seen the "new" splitters? That might be enough to clear things up

[nocturne orbit]

yeye, I used them. they just attach to lifts and only have 2 horizontal output/inputs.
questoin is if old ones got updated

[sterile blade]

No, splitters/mergers must be built onto existing lifts for them to "switch" to their vertical versions.
Build it anywhere else and it'll be a normal splitter. Ie: same object in the building menu, snapped on lift instead of anything else

[nocturne orbit]

I mean, on that screenshot, how doe lift appear to go straight from vanilla splitters/mergers?

almost like vanilla ones allow for vertical output/input

[sterile blade]

Those are vertical splitters. They clearly have an input/output on the top

[compact flicker]

They are the same splitters you unlock with logistics mk1. I am on console.

[sterile blade]

... That's... What I've been saying?

[compact flicker]

Responded to the wrong message mb

[sterile blade]

For the sake of clarity: vertical splitters are vanilla...

[compact flicker]

Yall are both clippy 😭

[sterile blade]

If it can stop then it's not quite "continuos" is what I'm saying 😉
If you think about it as something that you cannot allow to stop, you can change your design to reflect that (trying to be vague to let you solve the issue if you like)

[sterile blade]

I'm the sushiest though!

[lunar python]

There are edge cases for that

[cyan leaf]

Ugghhhh modular engines are a painnn

[lunar python]

Which tier are you at?

[cyan leaf]

Tier 5 and 6

[lunar python]

Im at tier 8 without a single space part automated 💀

[cyan leaf]

Howwwwwww cause the acu is making me have a headache bc of auto wire 🙃

[sterile blade]

What do you mean?

Just say what you want to say xD

[lunar python]

Its hard to explain!!

[nocturne orbit]

but the lowest layer is vanilla ones, otherwise how does he connect them to horizontal belts?

[cyan leaf]

I need to see how u did the phase stuff 😭

[sterile blade]

Ahahah
I didn't mean to rush you, just that you could've avoided having me ask you for details and wrote the details directly 😆

[nocturne orbit]

1.0 is my vanilla, hehe

[lunar python]

Filled my inventory with parts, put them in a bin jnto assemblers and slooped them

[cyan leaf]

Ong u legit raw doged it 😭

[lunar python]

Like 2 hours of waiting to avoid automating early

[lunar python]

Ok so like, you stack 2 splitters

[nocturne orbit]

my question is how does he have vertical splitters on top of regular ones

[lunar python]

But you nudge the top splitter 3 meters to the side

[sterile blade]

The lowest ones may be normal splitters where they clipped the lifts in, yeah. Hard to tell, but there doesn't seem to be an accomodation for inputs at the top of them

[nocturne orbit]

#off-topic-media message that

[nocturne orbit]

nudging it is then

[lunar python]

Then connect top splitter to bottom splitter with a lift and you get a vertical splitter

[nocturne orbit]

I have paper with me though

and a casette

[sterile blade]

And no sushi

Its 4 am where I'm at I'm tired ok

Heh, I beat both of you: 10 AM! Muahahaha

[nocturne orbit]

I need some nice way to make big blueprints of many rows and floors to run belts through

it was really hard to make one for assemblers

[sterile blade]

Well, clearly "nice" is subjective 😅

I have a hard time with clipping xD

[nocturne orbit]

but hey, now I can put 24 of these in one click for rare cases when it is indeed an assembler. probably will help with modular frames a lot

I don't like it either. so blueprints mostly don't have it

except for support beams

maybe I will upload my blueprints again at some point. it's ince to have soething with lumen illumination

[sterile blade]

To me it's mostly about wether something "makes sense" phisically. I can bury light poles into concrete, but having a piece of metal go through a belt/splitter/pipe... nonono

[sterile blade]

Bring back Lumen for small signs!

[nocturne orbit]

I love sticking lifts through floors way too much
and pipes just hate floor holes

[nocturne orbit]

huh? when did it go?

[sterile blade]

1.0
Only billboards do GI now

Tbh, it makes sense if one takes into account their comments about "not wanting small light sources", but then again: why give us the option to try and miss in the first place?!?

[nocturne orbit]

huh
I felt a little like they do less
and viewing angle definitely matters
but they still reflect and shine light around last time i checked couple month ago

[sterile blade]

I've managed to work with floor holes ^^
The only issue I noticed was easily avoidable as it just needed adding one pipe segment between pump and floor hole (direct connection led to headlift loss for me)

[nocturne orbit]

SO all of this is gone?

I don't often use "clean pipes", so to me it affects the correct positioning of flow indicators ahah

Yeah, I got what you meant before (picture makes no sense though )

[lunar python]

oh yeah you cant do that unless you have infinite nudge

[sterile blade]

Yeah, saw the edit, it's what I was thinking

[sterile blade]

I'm not sure it's impossible, but I also don't keep track of such "clippy" techniques 😅

[nocturne orbit]

well. the 'especially' link has more shots
but idk , it doesn't seem too bad, but if we had more bounces... at least my BPs won't fry gpu

[sterile blade]

Ah, sorry, the mention of light bounces was purely coincidental, I was just looking at the pretty colored lights on the floor and windows (easy to spot wether GI is doing something or not)
I should get an updated screenshot of that

At the time, I think I was messing with the illumination settings, trying to get more accurate and/or less noisy GI

[nocturne orbit]

oh, both are pre GI removal? I was trying to find difference

[novel crag]

Is there a way to mass delete ?

[nocturne orbit]

what I linked is from year 24 so maybe it still kinda works?

@nocturne orbit any idea on this?

[severe cliff]

not sure what u mean but one smelter makes 30 per minute

that is what I want

Did 1.0 drop in late 24 or 23...?

[nocturne orbit]

I am no calculator, even if I use clippy''s picture

[nocturne orbit]

no clue. but I htink I started making use of sign illumination on experimental branch pre 1.00

[novel crag]

Is it possible to make a 60 per min miner go into 4 diffrent smilters ?

[compact flicker]

Sept 10th 2024

[sterile blade]

That was probably with the U8 settings then.
They didn't do "experimental" for 1.0

[severe cliff]

you’d have to under clock each smelter to 50% but at that point might as well just use 2 smelters

[sterile blade]

Thanks!

But think of all the power they'd be saving!

[severe cliff]

why do u need exactly 4 smelters?

[compact flicker]

A 4 way load balancer would work too, if they don't have the clocking menu unlocked yet.

[dense violet]

sure, clock them to use 15 each

or any combination that adds up to 60

[novel crag]

Its not possible to do full power and still go into the 4 smelters

[dense violet]

I guess with a balancer, but why can't you underclock?

[fallow magnet]

What does production vs capacity mean in coal generators?

[compact flicker]

Gotta research slugs to get the window to do it, and based on the numbers involved I don't think its unreasonable to guess they haven't done that yet.

[winter fable]

Amount of electricity generated vs maximum amount of machinery that can be connected

[fallow magnet]

so like does my fuse vlow when I go above 412?

[compact flicker]

They mean the same thing for all generators except biofuel

[winter fable]

If you use more electricity than produce machines will shutdown

[fallow magnet]

I’m a bit confuse why my capacity 100 more than production

[winter fable]

No, your machinery will just shutdown iirc

[fallow magnet]

I have 412 production 532 capacity

[dense violet]

no real reason to just not use 2 smelters really at that point

[winter fable]

I think blown fuse is if you put to many machines on 1 net, but i could be wrong there

Irl blown fuse means to much power goed through 1 group

[compact flicker]

If your consumption exceeds your production, things shut down.

[fallow magnet]

Oh ok how come my capacity is higher than my production by a lot? Is that cause I can overclock?

[winter fable]

That depands on capacity of how much can go through he line

[winter fable]

You oc your plants?

If thats the case you produce alot more electricity than you consume

[compact flicker]

The power menu you see when looking inside of a generator shows the whole grid, which includes your biofuel generators which don't run at max capacity 100% of the time, so as long as you have biofuel gens, your product ion will be lower than your capacity.

[round matrix]

That can happen if you still have some biofuel gens connected

[fallow magnet]

ohhh yes my biofuel are in it that makes sense I forgot to disconnect

Yea I used biofuel to start up my coal factory

[winter fable]

Always make groups

[fallow magnet]

Okay thanks o was so confused

Groups?

[inner widget]

Hello, how to set "Peltzmman Effect" as Elevator Music?? need it!

[winter fable]

puts on electrician pants

You can make groups in your electricity network. Individual power lines connected to a few gen’s

Esch line with few gens are a ‘group’.

If something happens only that group is affected

[hushed canopy]

finally working on completing phase 4

dont have a factory for everything but plenty of tickets thankfully

[winter fable]

Like the electricity in your home. There isnt 1 line going in for everything in your home. It gets split up to distribute power. If something happends only that group is affected

[hushed canopy]

will build the factories after i get those tier 6 belts though

[compact flicker]

It should be noted that for this to be the case you need priority power switches, which you don't have when unlocking coal power.

[winter fable]

Could also do it individual

Was a tip from a video ive watched

Just requires more work

[grave sage]

Just unlocked hypertubes, a whole new world of fun

[amber kraken]

Hii i just finiesh super computer in one area and i saw that assembly director system space component also need super computers and stuff do i need to build another super computer for this?

[hybrid nymph]

as much as it saddens me

I have no choice but to go back and expand my coal power

I need a stable source of power for my base

I am producing enuff coal to be able to power 24 coal generators

[dense violet]

you could jsut use w hat you're already making?

[amber kraken]

then i need to make adaptive control unit once again?

or like how u guys progress?

[prisma berry]

Hi guys, I just progressed to the coal power phase, and made a coal power plant with overflow system (I think that's the name?)

The thing is, the power plants in the back doesn't really fill up, do I just need to wait overtime, or can the power plants be fully operational if i pull the coal from the first few power plants to the ones behind?

[dense violet]

sounds like you don't have a fast enough belt

[prisma berry]

Im using a Mk2 belt for the line with 2 extractors on normal grade veins

[dense violet]

do some overhead images in #math-and-meta

[prisma berry]

alr

[fallow magnet]

Hey I have a question my coal power plant is stuttering a lot I had water filled and it was fine but now it’s turning on and off like I don’t think it should be problem because it’s 90 water requirement per and I have 3 coal power generators (all overclocked twice to 200%) but for some reason the water is now going up and down, I have a manifold pipe setup I think it’s called the first one was doing fine but the other 2 kept running out, tried looping the pipe around and it made all 3 now have issues not sure what’s going on like is manifold for pipes just bad

Like should I just split it into 3 and feed it in?

I even put pumps like down the line a bit to increase flow rate but doesn’t seem to be helping

[dense violet]

Overhead images in #math-and-meta 😛

[green fiber]

Pumps dont increase flow.
Check your water extractors

[silk ocean]

Pumps are basically a waste of electricity unless you have headlift xD

[fallow magnet]

Like post some? I have like a roof in it with the conveyers going over. Like the flow rate is really low for some reason I have it traveling like 200 meters, should I just try connecting a second extractor ?

[fallow magnet]

Ohh okay

[dense violet]

remove the roof. often impossible to diagnose pipes w/o images

[green fiber]

How many extractors do you even have?

A single one only makes 120/min water

[fallow magnet]

just one but it is triple over clocked

[green fiber]

That makea 300/min water max

do.you only use 300/min max?

[fallow magnet]

yea so I thought I should be fine

Says 90x3

[green fiber]

Check if the extractor's inventory stays mostly empty

[fallow magnet]

Okay yea like it elder’s a few then emptied

Empties

Wait I think I’m stupid lol

somehow the overclocks got removed wtf I only had 1

[green fiber]

Well, that should explain it

[fallow magnet]

Lmao yea 😅🤣

I must have pressed y when I set my steam deck down

I was so confused

Okay it seems to be better now it had a random dip for some reason after being better but maybe it was just spinning up

[cunning glade]

coal gens take 15 coal a min and make what 75w?

[fallow magnet]

Well I thought that would fix it but yea actually it’s being weird again

[dense violet]

images 🙂

[fallow magnet]

yea I gotta remove the top

[sterile blade]

Welp 😭
RIP you hard work 🪦
Unless the devs patch it back in... Or maybe @spark ruin is willing to reveal something (#satisfactory message)...

[round matrix]

i really hope jason will reveal all the teasers he's been hiding in all the videos once 1.2 drops lol

[sterile blade]

Either that or we'll find out that he's been teasing 1.3 content all along

boats boats boats!!

[barren current]

I've nearly at the golden nut.

Holy shit, these poor animals

"Look, sorry little hog, but by my calculations I recon for each one of you I'm killing, I'm saving myself about 5 minutes of wait time for the factory tobuild tickets"

[grizzled lotus]

just curious, but is there a way to have my object scanner scroll through certain items but not mroe when pressing left click?

[novel crag]

Can someone answer me here my coals are not coaling #off-topic-media message

[grizzled lotus]

I'd like to run around searching for mercer spheres and somersloops quickly but not having to scroll through paleberries and stuff

[dense violet]

chat in #math-and-meta can't talk in image channels

[barren current]

this might help: hold left-click on the object scanner to get an selection rose to switch to a specific item :)

[grizzled lotus]

well, I already knew that

if you right click it scrolls through stuff quickly

[barren current]

I use the right click by habit, but I do tend to miss over things because of all the non interesting items like food items :(

[grizzled lotus]

oh well, would be an interesting mod

[summer stump]

im building a computer/high speed connector/circuit board factory in tier 8, how much of each should I produce/min?

[green fiber]

to answer that, look at what products use them

[summer stump]

what do you think about 15comp, 30cb, and 15hsc

[spark ruin]

https://github.com/Lightning999933/Satisfactory-Graphical-tweaks/releases/tag/v0.5.6.1
also the command for the specific thing you wanted to fix: r.AOGlobalDistanceField.MinMeshSDFRadius 1

[green fiber]

I have no feelings towards those numbers. 15 comp is similar to my factory for them on my old save though
Circuit boards on their own are pointless though

[summer stump]

noted

[summer stump]

counterpoint, adaptive control unit

[green fiber]

plan for ACUs then

and not JUST CBs

[summer stump]

also block signals, an alt radio control unit recipe, etc

[green fiber]

i dont plan ahead for those things

[summer stump]

planning is good

[green fiber]

also im pretty sure signals no longer use CBs

[summer stump]

but I agree I dont need 15/min

30*

[sterile blade]

Thank you!

[round matrix]

block signals don't need CBs and it's overall easier to just.. make items when you need them for a factory, rather than making them "in case you need them for a future factory". you don't know how many you'll need for your future factories yet, after all

[sterile blade]

There's probably a mod for that.
And that sentence is true often enough that it has become a nickname

[grizzled lotus]

some people use the online website tool and some pull out a pen and paper. usually I just make the factory and see which item I'm not making enough of

[summer stump]

I like the website

[grizzled lotus]

I used the website once, couldn't understand the graph and dropped it

[dense violet]

which one?

[summer stump]

I usually take a few minutes to rearrange the graph so it makes as much sense as possible before building

which website did you try?

[grizzled lotus]

I think it was satisfactory planner?

don't know how many there are

[severe cliff]

thinking of making permanent blueprints what should i make? (like smelters, constructors, etc)

[summer stump]

I personally use satisfactory-calculator.com

its goated

[summer stump]

sets of 2 or 4 of everything, stacked versions, etc

giant foundation baseplates

[dense violet]

many have bad UIs

[mental raft]

how many hours do you guys have?

[summer stump]

1k

as of 9 hours ago

[severe cliff]

satisfactory tools is good

[void girder]

Hey yall. Can anyone help me find quartz in rocky dessert? i've been looking for it with the scanner, but i cant find the cave enterance

[mental raft]

oh nice i have 600-700

[severe cliff]

satisfactory calculator has an interactive map to help find stuff easily

[dense violet]

far east or west . along the water

[summer stump]

ill post a screenshot in #screenshots

[void girder]

Thanks!

[severe cliff]

200 and i j got the game less then 2 weeks ago

[grizzled lotus]

the first one I made was a set of mergers and splitters so I always had a third of my production going to storage.
the one that was more useful was a vertical factory of smelters, constructors etc

the REAL real useful ones is long railways, and another one for ascending railways like a ramp. super useful and super convenient. at least, as convenient as railway building can get

[severe cliff]

with the smelters i see ppl make separate areas for that do people make iron for example in bulk at one spot then ship it out to other places or just make it where they need?

[void girder]

Thanks mate, I rlly hate stinger noise and this saved me a while of searching

[summer stump]

change to arachnophobia mode 💯

cats are much more enjoyable

[void girder]

Oh yes, i have it on lol

[summer stump]

https://satisfactory-calculator.com/en/interactive-map#4.75;-214090;-107284|realisticLayer| use this map whenever you need to find something

[void girder]

I got jumpscared by a dead stinger when i turned around cause my whole screen was a cat xD

[void girder]

Oki, i will, thank you!

[grizzled lotus]

well, first of all it's better to explore things on your own at first, it's much more fun. I looked up ideas later on

but the initial concept that can be useful is to make minifactories at first. a factory just for iron plates and iron rodes, a factory solely for reinforced plates etc. When you get recipes that require materials from far away, then you start shipping them to far away. this applies to certain materials that aren't plentiful, unlike iron and copper for example

[dense violet]

it is a 100% exploration spoiler though

[dense violet]

which you should Really mention

[summer stump]

I thought it was pretty obvious that a map was going to be pretty revealing

[void girder]

Yeah, i knew about it and that was mainly why i didnt use it, same with ores, but with spiders cats i just wanna get done

[void girder]

You's got a point tbh

[dense violet]

not clear it has litearlly everything -

[summer stump]

idk why you're playing satisfactory if you cant figure that out but go crazy

it also doesnt show anything when you go to that specific url unless you ask it to

so no, it does not have "literally everything"

[barren current]

can crashes causes trains to placed back in the reverse order?

I'm seeing items in carriages now misaligned after a train colllision

[exotic pilot]

whats the best recipe to make rocket fuel with including the ones before

[dense violet]

depends

like all alt recipes

[exotic pilot]

what ones would you do

[dense violet]

I woudl throw every rocket fuel recipe in the fire

because fields of rocket fuel for power is stupid

[exotic pilot]

what if i just wanted to make enouygh packaged rocket fuel to support 5 cities

[dense violet]

then whatever is convenient for the area - so again - depends 😛

[exotic pilot]

blue crater

[dense violet]

well one skips a whole step. Is that something that is good for you?

[exotic pilot]

i dont really care if it skips steps or whatever

just most rocket fuel

[dense violet]

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

there's always trades in what resources you're adding or swapping for 'most' so decide on what you want to spend it on

[exotic pilot]

what

[dense violet]

I linked yo ua tool to help you pick recipes

you can plug in what resources you're willing to spend and swap recipes in and out to see results

[exotic pilot]

i dont care what other materials i use i just care about maximising

[dense violet]

so plug in the resources you want to use into a planner, and the recipes you want to see, and check

I have no idea if you want to import resources form the other side of the map with "drones"

it really doesn't matter at that point if you just want lots because you can just fly in more stuff.

so play with the planner, and see

[exotic pilot]

what wopuld i need to import from the other map??

[dense violet]

because you want tons of fuel? idk.
I have given you all the tools you need to figure out what you want - I'm not going to chew your food for you

[hybrid nymph]

I just finished my coal factory, I now have 24 coal generators

I needed a more reliable source of power, the gas turbines were having issues at oil, so I decided to go back to coal for now

[exotic pilot]

gas turbines?

[hybrid nymph]

fuel genrators, sorry

I need to be more specific

[exotic pilot]

oh

whats the difference between mj and mw

[reef basin]

MJ is unit of energy, MW is unit of power

[hardy moat]

MJ is just what an item burns for, so like 10 fuel burns n outputs 10MW for example

The fuel has "10 MJ"

[exotic pilot]

omg two at the same time lol

[reef basin]

if a fuel has 10 MJ and the gen outputs 10 MW, then it burns for one second

MJ doesn't dictate how much MW it makes

[hardy moat]

Oh

[exotic pilot]

so turbofuel with 3600 mj burns for 14.4 sec so is that 250 mj?

mw i mean

[reef basin]

turbofuel doesn't "burn for 14.4s". Turbofuel can be burned in a fuel gen, which outputs 250 MW at 100% clock speed

if the gen is at 100% clock speed, then indeed one unit of tf burns for 14.4s in it

[exotic pilot]

doesnt it take 14.4s to burn 1 rocketfuel (i meant to say rocket fuel before) in fuel rgen

also w website

[reef basin]

my point is that the fuel doesn't have "burn time"

it has energy (3600 MJ) only. The gen has power production (e.g. 250 MW), the burn time is calculated value from these two

if you burned turbofuel in a gen with 360 MW production, it'd burn for 10 seconds

[exotic pilot]

so burn time is based on how much mw its producing?

im too stupid for this

[reef basin]

yeah

[exotic pilot]

which are you saying yeah to

wait does htis mean rocket fuel in 250% fuel gen produces 625 MW

[reef basin]

anything in fuel gen at 250% produces 625 MW

[exotic pilot]

OOhh

but they take longer to burn

[reef basin]

you can imagine it as a pool of water:

• the pool itself is the turbofuel
• the energy value (MJ) is how much water you can put in the pool
• the power output (MW) is how much water you pump out - the stronger the pump is, the more water per second, the pump represents the power generator
• so obviously with faster pump (generator with more MW), you empty the pool faster (have smaller burn time)

so, one unit of turbofuel has always the same amount of power (MJ), but how long it burns depends on how much power the gen makes

[hardy moat]

Is MJ just how quickly it takes to burn and get the MW from it?

[reef basin]

no, MJ is just its energy value

see the example above

[hardy moat]

I'm still confused

I feel like that just sounds like my original example

[exotic pilot]

so better fuel means longer burn time

[hardy moat]

The only difference is the generator is limited MW wise, hence why it takes different fuels different amounts to get the required output

[reef basin]

better fuel means more energy value (MJ), which then means that in same generator, it'll burn longer, yeah

1 MW is basically "consume/produce 1 MJ over one second"

[exotic pilot]

ok

[gilded pawn]

hot take satisfactory should add a snowy map

[reef basin]

devs said hard no to new map

[gilded pawn]

they could atleast make it snow

[hybrid nymph]

just finished the turbofuel oil plant, I have 6 fuel generators fully overclocked

[nocturne warren]

why is satisfactory feedback website flooded with weed ads

[hybrid nymph]

No clue, snoop dog has taken over lol 😆

My entire oil plant is generating 4,500 MW. 3,750 from the 6 fuel generators and 750 from the 4 coal generators. Both fully overclocked

I'm running the coal generators off of compacted coal

[nocturne warren]

my grid right now is 3050 mw and im building a fuel generator tower that will make 20000mw

[gilded pawn]

tbh u should go for turbo fuel or rocket fuel

[nocturne warren]

Im only using 40% of my oil for the tower

[gilded pawn]

still would be cool like sons of the forest seasons

that would add so much detail to the game icl

yesterday i found out that now if you kill one of them ada will care

[fiery pewter]

Yep

[nocturne warren]

sometimes they get stuck in my conveyor bells so i had to do it

[cyan valve]

Did anyone noticed that if some trains are in a docking/undocking state, there will be an invisible wall in the center of your other train station platforms? Its like there is a train on the center even when its empty. This is true to all the stations that are connected.

[still bluff]

any 1.2 on the horizon or dlc or some kind of development still on this game? i dont mean the tiny bugfixes, content wise

[void girder]

Hey, yall, is the personal elevator worth 10 tickets? Im making a really tall nail factory and there's no place for stairs, but 10 tickets seems expensive as hell

[fiery pewter]

Elevator is reasonably useful

[dense violet]

you could just use hyper tubes if you want

[fiery pewter]

I'd even say that 10 tickets is perfect for the Elevator

[dense violet]

by 'nail' do you mean 'screw' ?

[fiery pewter]

I mean, for 10 tickets you could also get frame foundations

[hasty cairn]

Elevator is fun. The inside has elevator music. You get this neat little console you can button press to access different elevations/floors. The only thing is you gotta power the thing

The elevator itself, I mean.

So I hope you also have the indoor power connections that clip to walls

[void girder]

Did i say nail? Im so sorry, yea screws, i've been building it for a few days and am tired

[void girder]

I's got them, I use them a bunch in logisstic floors

[hasty cairn]

Also you can look out the elevator windows and see your glorious factory as you go up/down

[cyan valve]

buy everything when you can. theyre all useful

[dense violet]

build your screws right before they are consumed - it'll make your life a lot easier

[void girder]

I's got the whole management tab bought so far

[void girder]

Really? But i've spent like 3 days on this factory

[void girder]

Ye

[dense violet]

yes? screws expand when you build them so you need tons more belts. What they hell are you making you need so many screws for?

[void girder]

Just thought making a central screw factory, then using busses or trains for deliveries was smart

[dense violet]

It's something you can do, it's an ass ton more work though

[void girder]

the factory outputs 3840 screws /m

[dense violet]

plus you don't know what recipes you'll use. You can have ZERO uses for screws in your whole world

[void girder]

Well i mean computers and heavy modular frames would def no longer be bottelnecked by there not being enough screws

[dense violet]

sure but build them right next to the thigns that need them

computers also don't use screws

[void girder]

The alt recipe i got does

[dense violet]

and the Heavy mod frame recipe that is very iron efficient doesn't

[dense violet]

there is no computer recipe the requires screws

I'm looking at the wiki now

[void girder]

Was that in early access? SHIT

God damnit

I had everything built around the 52 screws per minute computer alt recipe

So, you think i should just turn it into an iron rod factory?

[dense violet]

I think you shouldn't do anything with it untill you know what the products are going to be used for

it's not like you need ton of iron rods pm for personal use

[torn shoal]

Hi guys,quick question,is 96 coal gens enough to last me until fuel power?

[fiery pewter]

Holy moly

I guess 7200 MW is more than enough

Alr,thanks

[karmic kayak]

Hello

[hybrid nymph]

I've only tapped one of the 4 oil nodes at the beach area

I was thinking of using the other pure node for more fuel generators running off turbo fuel of course

Then the other 2 normal nodes for rubber and plastic

[dense violet]

64 keeps me till blenders

[little shale]

The alien power augments says 500MW static power. What does it mean?

Also, it says no fuel, but it’s still providing power yes?

[hybrid nymph]

I don't really see a reason to ship the turbo fuel back to main base

[dense violet]

thats how much power the building itself gives , it also gives a 10% boost

[hybrid nymph]

I never bothered with the alien power augmenter

[dense violet]

it dupes power

[hybrid nymph]

Somer slopes are much more valuable used to double overclock buildings

I understand that buildings take an exponential amount of power to overclock, but it's well worth it if you have the energy

Especially manufacturers.

[little shale]

I just cleared the entire map so I have around 15 spare sloops

[hybrid nymph]

I have about 4 spare sloops, still need to do more exploring

[scenic mirage]

why isnt my lizard doggo following me? it somehow escaped a 4x4x4 box and i cant get it to go back in

[sterile blade]

Let me know~

[torn shoal]

Thing is,im planning a massive factory expansion before I get fuel power,and I dont really know how much it'll use,so I thoughts its best to future proof

Give myself a bit of breathing room,ya know?

[torn shoal]

It's because you trapped him in a cage,he wants to be free

[dense violet]

fair enough. I probably wouldn't bother with anything that massive so early on - get out of the tutorial first

[torn shoal]

I've completed phase one of the space elevator,and I've unlocked all of tier 3 and 4.

[dense violet]

Sure, but you haven't finished tier 9

[torn shoal]

It is also my first playthrough of the game,so I dont really know how much power I need

[dense violet]

imo treat all the milestones like a good tutorial until sandbox mode - the milestones themselves are ... really easy. You can make the sloppiest messiest factories and you'll grind you way to your end products.

but the tiers give you practice and training to use the tools to make your own projects later

[scenic mirage]

neverrrrrr 👎 they serve one purpose and it isnt looking cute

Guys I am out of power shards, out of hard drives and spheres.

But I have now Homing Rifle, Cluster Nobelisk, Explosive Rebar and Gas Filter automated.

It is time. To go on a journey.

[grizzled lotus]

I want more biomes, and more starting points

[mortal ginkgo]

I want snow biome but devs said no so.. its ok I guess.

[torn shoal]

I actually got a nuke in the Christmas calendar

[grizzled lotus]

they did? why?

[mortal ginkgo]

they simply said no, no explanation, no hesitation.

I mean as a very smol dev myself, I can understand how snow need to be executed well to be realistic-enough.

but I would love a snow biome to call home.. I love snow.. I love you guys too but.. I love snow more.

[grizzled lotus]

hmmm, that sounds like a good reason tbh

[mortal ginkgo]

wait you reminded me, I need to take the nuke nobelisks with me too that my 7 doggos farmed. I got plenty. Thank you.

[grizzled lotus]

for some reason I find the starting desert biomes far more intersting than the forest biomes. I feel like the forests especially don't feel alien at all

[mortal ginkgo]

yeah, I am heartborked, but I know why they wouldn't do that. Also snow weather would be something that is looking out of place if placed in the current game.

I mean,there is an option where I can enter an ip address or session I'd?

[worthy tapir]

Yeah

Eh you should be fine just DM me

[torn shoal]

Heres the thing,I dont have a mic for my pc,and im relatively young too

[worthy tapir]

It's fine

[fluid sapphire]

i had a dream that we got rain in the game

[worthy tapir]

Mic isn't required

[torn shoal]

Oh,ok

Nah we got it we only needed one more guy

We do need a dedicated sv host though/

[simple herald]

Does opening the "totally normal ficsmas gift" give you anything besides a comical surprise? I've got this nobelisk detonator in my inventory that I can't explain and that's the only thing I can think of that may be responsible for it

[hard ivy]

yep, it gives you a detonator and some nobelisks

[simple herald]

Oh cool, I already had some nobelisks from one of my doggos, but I still haven't unlocked the detonator so I was just surprised to have one

[little shale]

After activating my ficsonium-producing particle accelerator, all my radiation masks got destroyed and I died fairly soon after. What just happened?

[primal obsidian]

how much power does a regular 100% accelerator thats slooped making nuclear pasta consume

[hard ivy]

max sloops just quadruples consumption

[primal obsidian]

how many sloops are there on the map i need 40x to sloop my 10 particle accelerators

[hard ivy]

106

[primal obsidian]

ok well i guess i better start looking

im aiming to complete the nuclear pasta 1000 milestone in under 2 hours

[glass pagoda]

Hiii

[sick crane]

I have doggo how should I name doggo?

[hard ivy]

overclock them and you'll only need 16

[scenic mirage]

use sloops a limited resource to avoid building more ✅
build more and just overclock them using an infinite resource ❌

[clever sandal]

yo how did i calculate that how much can i use a resource node

for example a impure coal node

[scenic mirage]

resource nodes are infinite, you can only use whatever your miner can make

[clever sandal]

no i dont mean that

i meant that how many coal power plants can i use for one coal node until it can't

[clever sandal]

name it dawg

[sick crane]

Dont know...

[unkempt blade]

depends on the node purity and the tier of miner you use and if/how much it's overclocked

[clever sandal]

well currently im somewhat in early game so tier 1 miner without any glock

30 coal per minute

[unkempt blade]

30/15=2

[hard ivy]

do math

[fading whale]

Oh.... I was today years old when I realized that the search box /calculator ( N ) allows you to enter parts of any buildable, including blueprints to select these.
If just one more learns this now, I am ok saying it out loud 😂

[unkempt blade]

yeah it's really nice for quick math ingame

[clever sandal]

thanks I forgot the formula lol

[fading whale]

I use it for math all the time. Just never realized I could just enter parts of a bp name too.

[unkempt blade]

if you didn't know also you can do math in the overclock text box and maybe a couple other places instead of giving it an exact value

[fading whale]

Yup.. Helps tons !

[quick barn]

I wish this was on console too

[primal obsidian]

but will 100 GW be enough for that

[fading whale]

If not now, then hopefully when they bring in keyboard support.

[mossy frigate]

Now that Ficsmas is done for me what’s the next holiday in satisfactory?

[open swallow]

Done?

[mossy frigate]

Yup

[unkempt blade]

2026 is the year of the factory cart so you can prepare yourself to celebrate that

[open swallow]

You can't just rush a holiday and be done with it. Expand more and spread the joy

[unkempt blade]

bigger tree! more decorations!

[open swallow]

Yes!

[magic nest]

guys i’m about to make my first huge turbo fuel plant

it comes from 6 oil nodes and a resource well

i’m so incredibly terrified about the piping

[brazen coral]

I'd also pair that with some turbo rifle ammo when you get the chance 😉

[magic nest]

i just know it’s going to be a nightmare

[brazen coral]

I'm only just now starting to make aluminum, didn't realize the train cannot go uphill while fully loaded or at least even half loaded... Very difficult xD

[unkempt blade]

Break big projects into smaller projects. You don't have to burn all 6 nodes at once 😆

[magic nest]

that’s what i’ve been doing

i want to scale it into a huge factory because why not

[unkempt blade]

and if you choose to do all 6 at once make sure you'll have enough power to turn it on or the nightmare will get worse!

[open swallow]

I don't think cargo impacts train performance

[magic nest]

yeah i’m going to use the individual ones to power it

start with the resource well and slowly implement the nodes

[brazen coral]

Well I'm trying to make it go uphill and it stalls not even halfway up the hill

I'll try to back it up and make more track but I don't know

But it definitely slowed down once I did pick up cargo, it struggled to go forward. Am I doing something wrong?

Granted this is the first time I'm actually using trains because I had no use for them at the time but I'm I'm using them to transport the bauxite to water or at least where I have my water pumps

[hard ivy]

you need 1 locomotive for every 4 full wagons

at least for 2m ramps

[brazen coral]

Oh I didn't realize that, yeah, I have already filled up four full carts of that so that's probably why

[crimson lantern]

Can I have 17 locomotives?

And can I get steam locomotive?

[brazen coral]

I just kept piling them on thinking. It's fine

[magic nest]

wait it’s one locomotive for 4 carts? i thought it was 2

[hard ivy]

depends on the slope

[sterile blade]

I do have plans to try things out, but I'm taking long getting to it 😅

[brazen coral]

I mean right now I have four full carts of bauxite trying to get pushed uphill, they didn't start uphill. I tried to stop halfway down cuz there was a stopping point that I needed to get to but it had rolled way past that going downhill

[magic nest]

i need a 2 to 5 balancer and i’m not very excited to build it tbh

[unkempt blade]

I use 1:4 as my universal size. It works fine with slopes and stuff

[magic nest]

i’m on console so no online blueprints

[mossy frigate]

4 engines per 1 car and you’ll never not have enough power 😈

[magic nest]

TRUEEEEE

lol

[hard ivy]

build a 3:6 and loop one output to one input. now you have a 2:5

[magic nest]

if only there was load balancers for liquids

sigh

i’m aware

[crimson lantern]

Hello aware, I'm Spider

[magic nest]

question do i just use the original fuel recipe

is that the most efficient one

[hard ivy]

it's the least efficient one

[magic nest]

copy that

would you enlighten me please

[strange chasm]

how dare my neighbors car explode while im expanding the factory

[hard ivy]

https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production?share=tsqVUqUYh2cFz6HsX7dz

alternatively https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production?share=5ML9T9HUzY1em2Ya84WI if you don't have blenders

[magic nest]

copy that 🫡

thank you sire

here’s to hoping this last hard drive has it

[cunning lily]

Man, trains are making me rethink how I do factories entirely. Tempted to build much more specialized factories. Iron goods, copper goods, steel goods, then intermediate conponents, and advanced constructions, all as separate factories each connected by trains.

[magic nest]

my spaghetti factory that makes every single product being made in this world disagrees with this notion

[strong anvil]

is anybody else having an issue claiming the ficsmass stuff (the trinkets on day 3 and 6)

[magic nest]

i was so lazy i even have every liquid and gas being transported here

[brazen coral]

I don't have that much of a spaghetti factory but trying to get more organized other than having everything spaghettified across the ceiling xD

[little shale]

Does Ficsonium fueled plants produce no waste?

[brazen coral]

Looks nicer when you don't have to move through spaghetti

[cunning lily]

Megaspagh factory!

[magic nest]

but that’s the best part

i don’t even have foundations all on pure terrain

[cunning lily]

Catwalks over the spagh make it serviceable 😉

[brazen coral]

While that's true, I don't have the space to do that because I literally compacted everything into the most squeezed in space I can get

Putting lifts and everything else for the outputs

[magic nest]

my factory goes the rule of if it fits i sits

a open space? SNAG

i really need to tear it down and start over again

but i’m already gearing up to for phase 4 so it’s just so much automation it hurts my brain

[brazen coral]

While I tried to get inputs or outputs go in either the ceiling or from the previous floor, it doesn't always want to work that way because I have to line up stuff to do it like that, which I'm probably going to reorganize soon enough just to make it more manageable, especially for Mark 5 belts which I'm getting after I upgrade all the belts and process that aluminum

[glass pagoda]

Take a break you don't have to do things one after the other at this moment. Rember you can always set up a bunch of trains on onne track then push them into a box and have them fling everywhere

[magic nest]

i have learned that if you just have the alt recipe to smelt the scrap instead of using the foundry it makes your life so much easier

[brazen coral]

I should be almost ready for nuclear power, but I might want to get drones going first before then

[magic nest]

well the thing is if i take out one line almost every single line will stall at some point or another

[brazen coral]

I actually still have a couple more hard drives to process. I might attempt to get that other aluminum recipe

[strong anvil]

i used it in my gigafactory for all the aluminium in the world (apart from 300). its much less resource efficient but 12000 ingots is enough

[glass pagoda]

Where you gonna build it

[magic nest]

also using all the alt recipes i have gained and are useful for it that’s gonna be even more of a pain

[brazen coral]

Nuclear power. I think I'm going to build around the large ocean to the east east like the northeastern area

[glass pagoda]

The abyss pillers in my opinion is a good place but I don't want to destroy the tallest mountain cuz it looks cool

[brazen coral]

I just know I need water like massive amounts

[glass pagoda]

Is there a uranium node there

[brazen coral]

I don't know yet. I'm not able to scan for uranium but I did find a couple in the bamboo forest so far

[glass pagoda]

Nodes or just little rocks

[magic nest]

all i know is that you either build nuclear right above the water or you suffer greatly

[brazen coral]

No like actual nodes. The one you can put the big Miner on

[hard ivy]

yeah, at least the reactors themselves

[brazen coral]

You find it more like in the canyon area but beware spider there's a bunch of them

[glass pagoda]

They are quite hard to come by. I don't believe there are any pure uranium nodes but please correct me if im wrong

[brazen coral]

I only found a normal one so far

But it's definitely in the canyon area of the bamboo forest

[glass pagoda]

Yeah and there's an impure on the highest point in the map

[glass pagoda]

So like red spire

I'd assume red spire

[brazen coral]

Not entirely sure I can mark it on the map when I get the chance

[glass pagoda]

Does it have high areas connected by those boney thin things around the map

Sorry I mean red jungle pillers

I'll post the map in screenshots for you

There

[brazen coral]

No, it's not that far off It looks like more of a floor of the jungle

[little shale]

My aluminium scrap refinery is producing 4m^3 of water. Underneath it says 600 per minute. How many m^3 is it prodcing per min?

[wintry carbon]

i got 34 blenders making 300 rocket fuel a minute (10200/min in total). how many fuel power generators i need i i overclock them 250%

[craggy vector]

I’m off to get my first crude oil😬

[quick barn]

Curious about console tuning
#satisfactory-consoles message

[hard ivy]

divide the amount you have by the amount 1 gen consumes

[wintry carbon]

i must be stupid, how much 1 gen uses rocket fuel a min ?

[hard ivy]

you can check that on the wiki or in-game in the fuel gen's UI

though in-game, the value is shown rounded

[pine patrol]

just got data driven

[clever sandal]

don't look up how much biomass burner does burn biomass

[pine patrol]

?

[clever sandal]

worst mistake of my life

[clever sandal]

the hub biomass burner

[pine patrol]

just get external biomass burners

[clever sandal]

you don't get the joke do you

[pine patrol]

no?

[clever sandal]

it burns 6.67 biomass per minute

[rich meteor]

Has anyone tested the celing belt hanger > lift> to machine output port bug lately?

[clever sandal]

67!!!!!!

[hard ivy]

it's 20/3, actually

there's no 7 in there

[clever sandal]

well actually you're wrong

since it shows me 6.67

per minute

[hard ivy]

then calculate how much it actually is

because it's not 6.67 exactly

[clever sandal]

you guys are boring

[round shell]

Used blueprints to develop a specific end to end factory layout for the first time, 2.5 computers

979 fuel generators ???

[silk moon]

erm ok noted

[hard ivy]

should've thought about that before you made 10k RF/min

979.2, actually

[craggy vector]

So to get petrol power, you need both “oil processing” and “petroleum power”?

[silk moon]

im new where shud i dtart on the map

[grizzled plank]

[hard ivy]

unless you count burning coke in coal gens as "petrol power"

[meager kiln]

anyone able to dump some "realistic build" screenshots for me? starting to feel masively inferior seeing all these awesome builds. i need to see some jank like mine

[silk moon]

ok thanks

[strange chasm]

What it look like

[mortal ginkgo]

hog :p

[strange chasm]

Is this the big one i almost died to that was bigger than the other big one

[mild shale]

Does anyone know if it's possible to increase power capacity without also increasing production? I have about 600mW of power between the two. I'm thinking I just need to remove machines, but wanted to know if there was another way.

[mortal ginkgo]

yes, it is very biggy. bigger than big, the CHUNGUS, the CHONKY boi

[reef basin]

power capacity is your maximal power production

[charred thistle]

morning pioneers

[hard ivy]

capacity is equal to production unless you have biomass burners

[clever sandal]

it's 19.21 whatchu mean

[mild shale]

Yes. I'm running into trouble where my production line is rapidly approaching power capacity line. I only have a difference of about 600mW between the two now

[ivory condor]

I forgot does power augmenter increase production or capacity or both?

[strange chasm]

mW or MW?

[ivory condor]

here we go

[hard ivy]

both

[reef basin]

build more power then

[strange chasm]

i have no idea what that is

[stone python]

if you cant be pedantic in satisfactory gen chat, then what even is the meaning of life

[mild shale]

I want to be able to use the particle accelerator eventually but can't afford the power cost.

[ivory condor]

right so they could put down augmenters if they materials

[hard ivy]

just make more power

[mild shale]

I've tried that but it doesn't alleviate the issue for some reason. Like I put down another nuclear power plant and it didn't help the issue. The two lines were still close.

[hard ivy]

well did you fuel it 🤣

[mild shale]

Yes...

[charred thistle]

it's 11:25 for me

[reef basin]

well one nuclear plant is just 2500 MW extra (assuming it has water and fuel)

and also, "build more power" means "build more gens + production for the fuel they need", not just add one gen 🙂

[mild shale]

Yeah it was fueled and everything. I'm not sure what's going on

[ivory condor]

It honestly sounds like the nuclear plant isnt setup correctly somehow

are you sure it has the needed water, fuel and waste disposing?

[fallen orbit]

Returning player (played for 130 hours 8 months ago)
Which biome(I think you call it?) from the 4 biomes should I choose in the new play through

[ivory condor]

I like grass fields personally

but thats my preference

[fallen orbit]

I think that's where I had my last save it's near the place where there's 4 pure coal spots right?

[mild shale]

Yes. I had everything set up correctly I promise. I'll try it again later and see, but I had the fuel rods going in, water going in, and waste going out.

[hard ivy]

1 nuke plant is not a lot

I'd even say it's very little

[mild shale]

But shouldn't it be enough to widen the gap between the two lines (production and capacity) since there's only ~600MW between the two?

[hard ivy]

it incresed both by 2500

[charred thistle]

I gotta start another copper line :c

[mild shale]

Ok I think that's where my fundamental misunderstanding is then.

How do I increase capacity without increasing production then? Is that possible or no?

[charred thistle]

I learned how to bhop im zoomin

[hard ivy]

and why would you want to do that?

it's production that powers your machines

[mild shale]

So that I can utilize a particle accelerator for my phase 4 assembly part

Just trying to plan it out

[ivory condor]

you wouldnt want to do that anyways, but you could use power storage to essentially do that

[hard ivy]

keeping production constant won't help with that

[ivory condor]

power storage essentially is increasing capacity, but because its not production, you couldnt sustain it

so setup more power storage if you want to just increase capacity, just keep in mind its limitations, it relies on your existing grid to charge and its only temporary power that recharges slowly

[mild shale]

Ok so should I be paying attention to different lines then? Like I said, I think I'm just misunderstanding what they represent.

Cause if production goes over capacity, doesn't that blow the fuses?

[ivory condor]

it does if you dont have power storage setup on that grid also yes

[hard ivy]

production is how much power you're currently making

capacity is how much power you would be making if all gens were running at 100% capacity. all gens except biomass burners do that all the time. so the difference between production and capacity is only biomass burners that aren't running

consumption is how much power you're currently using

max consumption is how much you would be using if all machines were running

so you generally want to keep your production above max consumption

[mild shale]

Great. That's what I was looking for. Thank you

So blown fuses would then be triggered by max consumption going over production then? Is that correct?

[hard ivy]

no, fuse blows when consumption goes over production

[mild shale]

Got it. Thank you

[ivory condor]

Even in those cases it would only happen if you dont have power storage setup as well on that grid though

[mild shale]

Yeah I don't have any power storage at all. Haven't seen the need for it

[ivory condor]

but I suppose we are considering no power storage is setup in these cases right?

[mild shale]

Yep

Power is confusing lol. Thanks for the help y'all

[ivory condor]

its good for backup power encase you need it, and its better than the fuse blowing, as it gives you time to fix your power problem

[hard ivy]

well, yeah, as long as you have energy in your power storage, the fuse won't blow

[ivory condor]

i setup power storage mostly as stop gap to prevent fuses from blowing, its best not to get to that point but i always find its a good idea to setup power storage just encase worst case scenario happens

[mild shale]

Now I just need to solve my water problem 😂

Anyone reached the top of the space elevator? I have been building ladders for 5 minutes upwards and I don't feel like I've made any progress

[charred thistle]

question for the power shards i'm using 3 blue shards on a constructor is there a big difference between blue and yellow shards?

[quick barn]

I've always avoided it. Does it let you know somewhere if you are sipping on batteries without having to click a power pole?

[quick barn]

All slugs process down to shards.

Diff colors just yield more shards per slug. All shards are blue

[charred thistle]

oooo

[mild gate]

Question about early game biomass burner:

Does it waste solid biofuel if I have all my machines idle?

[magic nest]

in the blender for turbo fuel would it be worth to just do the alternate turbo blend fuel or just do the nitric acid one

wait no

i’m stupid nvm that’s for rocket fuel

[rich tusk]

the ficsmas pipes change direction if you move slightly farther away from it cause the LOD changes, unplayable garbo

[ivory condor]

turbo blend fuel is what i have setup for rocket fuel, its good if your going that route

[hard ivy]

turbo blend is good if you turn it into rocket after. but pretty bad if you're just gonna burn it

[ivory condor]

but my rocket fuel is production is weird i have both turbo blend fuel and regular turbo fuel setup for rocket fuel production

[hard ivy]

that's how you recycle the compacted coal

[ivory condor]

Yep thats why i did it

[magic nest]

ahhhh

that makes more sense i have been struggling this whole time trying to set up more compacted coal sighhhh

[ivory condor]

yeah its funny if you get rocket fuel setup, compact coal is a byproduct and you use it for turbo fuel production to make more rocket fuel with

devs clearly intended this to be setup like a recycle loop so no resources are wasted to make rocket fuel production really efficient

[magic nest]

that just simplified my life so much

now i just need to unlock nitric acid. sigh

[ivory condor]

but thats another reason why i think rocket fuel production is too strong, its to good and everything that is a byproduct short of the resin is basically all used

[magic nest]

still haven’t automated the cooling devices for

[charred thistle]

it doesn't seem like its wasting anything

[magic nest]

the spaghetti beckons me once again

[hard ivy]

that's the "cheap" RF chain:
https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production?share=UCm2p4hX99N0mjCXM0IH

[quick barn]

Biomass burners are the only power plant that only produces power when it's needed, vs always producing at max capacity. So it will idle and not burn your input until you need it.

[magic nest]

my main problem is getting the sulfur there

[mild gate]

Thank you

[magic nest]

i could set up 2 drones but idk how much i want to rely on them

[frosty bloom]

Goddamn this game, planning a Alc sheet blue print on 6x6 blueprint. Trying make it modular, and some what decent looking. Seems fine, untill you realize you have spending a goddamn 4hours on it...-.-

[ivory condor]

hey thats basically my entire rocket fuel production chain😛

rocket fuel sure is cheap indeed

only real difference is scale mine is setup for 8400/min instead of 1800/min

[charred thistle]

what do y'all mean when you call a factory spaghetti

[ivory condor]

but i basically did endgame mass scale rocket fuel production on this one save

and found out rocket fuel is really just too good, but you can easily get that idea looking at how easy the numbers are without building, i did that mostly for fun

and i needed cheap and fast power, and nuclear was going to take a little too long, but i still want to do it but im so lazy i havent even started😹

[hard ivy]

it's one of the 2 good RF chains so...
