satisfactory

[golden nexus]

Its not bad, More like not advantaged

if you have pipe, spheres, wire and stuff you will be able to benifit quickly

[pulsar glade]

Ok so I’m going around with like my chainsaw cutting trees down with my jetpack and my jetpack instead of using the liquid bio fuel I have it’s using the solid bio fuel that’s for the chain saw how do I stop that

[pulsar glade]

Ok ima go find it rq

[compact flicker]

Hover over jetpack in inventory, the button to swap prefered fuel should show up

[pulsar glade]

Thx

[silent heron]

Is there a way to take radar towers off your hud?

[tame bobcat]

i might have to steal your reinforced plate design to get these up and running 😭

[golden nexus]

Heh.. you need to nail rplate design in the game sooner or later as well as mod frame

[hot panther]

are there any other ways to obtain tickets without the sink

[golden nexus]

cheat?

[hot panther]

wdym cheat

[golden nexus]

upload save to editor, modify the save and profit....

[hot panther]

i usually prefer to play the game instead to look at a ban screen

[wicked nacelle]

Advanced game mode or scim can probably both do it

[wicked nacelle]

There is no band from a. Single player/coop game

[golden nexus]

you dont get banned for cheating in your single player save.....

[hot panther]

really

[golden nexus]

but really thats the only way

yeah cause your only cheating against yourself, its you game you do as you want

[hot panther]

ima try advanced gamemode
if that doesnt work i hope the game files arent ecryipted

[golden nexus]

its not hard to get points ot do the unlocks though

you just need more factory

[real shale]

factory

[wicked nacelle]

They’re not

[hot panther]

nice

[ruby current]

Yo I need some help

My water extractor just keeps on turning off and stopping for no apparent reason

[real shale]

Is the pipe its supplying getting full?

[peak wasp]

how do i get acutal ficmas snow

where do i obtain this such thing

i feel very dumb idk why

[ruby current]

Its flow rate is 0

Actually it’s fluctuating

[real shale]

Provided you've unlocked the relevant part of the FICSMAS research tree in the MAM, the actual snow can be acquired by putting gifts into a constructor

[peak wasp]

oh alr, ty

[real shale]

Lots of reasons for it to be zero, bad connection, max capacity, headlift, might be best to post a picture in #1038092680493801533 to better understand what might be happening.

[peak wasp]

i thought it was going to be a machine i havent unlocked yet

[real shale]

Nah, FICSMAS is an event that has a low entry barrier, doesn't require anything beyond an assembler

and foundry i guess

[peak wasp]

thank goodness cuz the only furthest i ever got is tier 4 havent even maxed it out yet

[tired cypress]

LMAO Ada just called me rude for nuking a spitter

[peak wasp]

you can nuke in the game?

russian scientist pioneer here i come!

[mellow mason]

whys the elevator got such strict encroachment

cant even place a beam around it

[whole fossil]

so uh i js bought the game and idk shi so any1 wanna play?

[median rain]

Guys is it bad that I'm in phase 5 and never unlocked the rifle?

[wicked nacelle]

Certainly makes the game harder

[real shale]

whoever at CSS made it so that signs could snap to machines, thank you

[wicked nacelle]

Wait what?

[sudden flint]

Do I prioritize clean number outputs, or maximizing inputs based on belt speeds?

[real shale]

you hear me

[sudden flint]

coffee stain studios

[wicked nacelle]

I knew they snap on containers

[real shale]

yeah but they also snap to machines too

everything except the large billboard it seems

[wicked nacelle]

Huh?

[sudden flint]

do I plan my lines to cleanly feed and create one set number of items, or do I plan them to maximize the raw material coming in?

[hallow flicker]

Yes

[sudden flint]

THERES NO CLEAN NUMBERS THO
AT LEAST NOT WITH BELT THROUGHPUT AND ALT RECIPIES

[hallow flicker]

Guess you didn’t need an answer to your question, then. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[sudden flint]

???

[hallow flicker]

Satisfactory is flexible.

Play it how you want to play it.

[sudden flint]

do I just give up and accept that I'm never gonna get 100% resource usages on every node ever

[white dawn]

Chasing "100% node utilization" is, indeed, a bit of a trap

[hallow flicker]

That is a decision that no one can make for you.

[hard ivy]

All numbers are clean numbers

[sudden flint]

... care to explain?

[hallow flicker]

Numberness is next to godliness

[hard ivy]

A machine could make π²/min and it'd be no different from 10/min for me

All numbers are just numbers

[hallow flicker]

It’s true

[pulsar glade]

Is there any way to like age my slugs from like blue to yellow or like yellow to purple

[white dawn]

Nope (at least in the vanilla game. could be there's a mod to do something like that)

[real shale]

ah, pi^2, or as i like to call it, 9, jk

[hallow flicker]

Is this really a question about who the golf Jason actually is?
Artificial time travel via toilet interaction is one likely explanation.

[sudden flint]

what. What do you mean. what can the toilet do!?

[sudden flint]

but the game only calculates to 4 digits of accuracy. It rounds or truncates anything more than that

[pulsar glade]

What I’m hella confused

[hard ivy]

That's only for manually input clock speed

[uneven epoch]

Why can't I sink my power shards?

[hard ivy]

Item/min rates are displayed rounded, but they aren't actually used in any calculations by the game

[sudden flint]

because until automation, they're a limited resource

[hard ivy]

Because they're not sinkable

[uneven epoch]

I have them automated though, they're sitting around clogging up lines.

[real shale]

oh wow okay, so if you go too far out, the game forgets what is considered deep water

[hard ivy]

The only way to get rid of them is via ionized fuel or matrices

[sudden flint]

I regret making several dozen FICSMAS hard drives before I realized they are nonstackable, non-destructible, non-sinkable resources that will haunt me for the rest of my days

like nuclear waste but without a solution

[hard ivy]

Flushing them down the toilet should work

[real shale]

or handing them to a lizard doggo and killing it

[sudden flint]

👀

[sudden flint]

monster.

[real shale]

"i'm sorry, little one"

[hallow flicker]

This. #satisfactory message

[prime blade]

so the parachute is a little buggy

[uneven epoch]

The yellow fuel rods aren't sinkable either for whatever reason

[hallow flicker]

Anakin vs the younglings all over again in my doggo farm

[prime blade]

is there anyway i can post a video here thats related to satisfactory

[hard ivy]

Why'd you even sink Ficsonium rods lmao

[uneven epoch]

I cannot be bothered to build more power plants

[peak wasp]

stick it on yt and then put it in video channel ?

[hard ivy]

It's free power at this point

Should've sunk the Plutonium if you didn't want power

[zealous urchin]

sink fisconium is that mindblown.gif moment

[sudden flint]

Brilliant.

[peak wasp]

seeing people go on about the toilet i was wondering if anything happens with a flushed sloop or mercer ? like unique ada dialog

[tranquil saffron]

can we flush nuclear waste? or i'm going to have to move it out to irradiate a different part of my world? 😂

[fluid sapphire]

process it into plutonium and sink it

[hard ivy]

Yeah, one at a time

And not one stack, one barrel

[tame bobcat]

ooo nuclear im only at coal bro 😭

[nocturne orbit]

I kinda want to make a meme eith new template about lack of crossplay...
But it's not that funny even if true

[maiden zinc]

Hello, what alternative recipes should I try to get if I’m building the phase 2 and I don’t have any one learned yes(first playtrough)

[echo hearth]

How many hours do people have in this game? I'm unlocking 1 thing that leads to 20 more things

[golden nexus]

A good player can complete game in less than 100 hours

[fluid sapphire]

a player with some know-how

[echo hearth]

28 hours in and only at phase 2, lol

[fluid sapphire]

what a good way to play is is subjective obv

[late pumice]

A good player cant be THAT too satisfactory! Hahahahahahahahahah!, yes i know im funny

[fluid sapphire]

1200 hours and i still havent finished phase 4

[echo hearth]

I've been focusing on making a big storage house... Think I made the project way too big tho

[golden nexus]

why?

[late pumice]

I’ve made this giant 600 fuel generator facility

[echo hearth]

I have everything stored really inefficient. Its all gathered in a mass of storage containers. It works, but i'd like to organise it a bit more.

[fluid sapphire]

dimensional depots make a central storage type thing completely optional

[echo hearth]

Dimensional depots?

[fluid sapphire]

alien tech tree in the MAM

[golden nexus]

You generally don't need more than a box of any item and now we have the quantum depot they don't need to be centrilized

[fluid sapphire]

you can just upload stuff where you produce it

[fluid sapphire]

not needing more than a box is highly debatable

[golden nexus]

Well... you don't. But you do need the factories to keep filling the box.....

[echo hearth]

Is this some type of storage i havent unlocked or?

[merry granite]

Having a centralised storage is still a cool idea its just not necessary when you use dds

[golden nexus]

You did sam tree in the mam?

[echo hearth]

No i dont think so

I haven't really focused on the mam

[golden nexus]

Yup, Its cool, it can be useful. But if your metric is time to completion its a distraction.

[fluid sapphire]

maybe you dont, but a lot of people, myself included, do. a single box of concrete lasts you all of 5 minutes if you are building something big, and its much easier to build more boxes to account for the temporary needs that big projects bring, rather than scale production

[uneven grail]

What do most people do, change default color so all the belts etc are always the same color or leave as default color scheme that game has and just make custom ones and color everything the specific build?

[fast bane]

Hi

Are there any servers for sarisfactory?

[golden nexus]

If you play the game to mess about and build nice things. It takes longer, If you play the game where you messure time by efficency then it takes way less time. Peolpe often also use the time metric for the first part of the game and then don't really consider the game "started" until mk6 belts and mk3 miners are unlocked. As all facotires are "subject to change" prior to having the best miners avilable....

[fast bane]

Im planning to buy satisfactory ( mighty expensive might i say)

[golden nexus]

Yes

[fast bane]

Where can i find them

[rose pollen]

Agreed I just got to phase 6 the game just started. Im doing my first nuclear set up now because rocket fuel carried me to phase 6

[fluid sapphire]

considering everything "temporary" until the end of the game is pretty silly fr fr

[peak wasp]

#1201555265942724758 i have seen them talked about in here

[golden nexus]

Yah, Concrete, Wire are about the only exceptions. But we are not having a conversation about the exception, we are hvaing a conversation about the normal. Its also kinda trival to be able to make concrete at 270/min with mk3 belts. Which is a stack every 2 minutes...

[golden nexus]

Didn't say it was temperoray, I said "subject to change" there is a massive failure to understand the difference on your end

[fluid sapphire]

subject to change by its nature means something isnt complete, so its temporary

[golden nexus]

Tjhat means it may not change, it may get bigger, it may get moved, it might get reworked.

[rose pollen]

It kind of is temporary because every few tiers yoy get new ways to make it more efficient like Ive ripped apart countless factorys just to rebuild the exact same thing more efficient

[golden nexus]

So if you build scalable factories. It is in fact permeant, but will change / scale over time to meet requirements.

[fluid sapphire]

i mean once you hit phase 4 and have mk5 belts, you dont need to

[rose pollen]

Until the end game phase 5 6 everything is temporary unless you like your building spots

[fluid sapphire]

its certainly one way to play, but by no means the only way

[echo hearth]

For phase 2, what should be my first unlocks? I got the jetpack for now.

[golden nexus]

yes, i am not stating how to play to anyone....

[fluid sapphire]

you could very well get through the whole game without "scaling" any existing factory, just building new ones

[snow ruin]

If your building to scale at end game assume math of 1200 per minute for raw materials and work backwards from there. Also assume you will be full overclocking everything to make the math work better

[rose pollen]

Not true at all im using tier 5 belts rn for a space part factory and im going to habe to rip it apart again because i can use 1200 raw ore a min on a mk6 so I can triple the amount of shit im making

[golden nexus]

yes...

[rose pollen]

The tier 5 belts suck

The math is just awful (im a math major)

[fluid sapphire]

depending on building habits, you could go through a large number of different materials very quickly, concrete is by no means the only exception

[tight crest]

lads i forgot how train signals work, can someone explain it to me like im stupid?

[snow ruin]

if you hit N you can use the search bar as a calculator

[fast bane]

How the fork?

[golden nexus]

Its rare and industrial containers are quite large.

[rose pollen]

Im on ps5 just the ps5 chat is brain dead lmao

Ive played on both pc and ps5

[fluid sapphire]

no one says you need to squeeze the max out of every belt you have

the math isnt any more difficult than with any other belt

[rose pollen]

When making 2 modular frams a minute yes you need every material

[golden nexus]

in what way?

[fluid sapphire]

make more belts, problem solved

[snow ruin]

Also a good rule of thumb.... alternate recipes exist for a reason, they tend to make live easier not harder

[fluid sapphire]

2 modular frames/min is pocket change at that point in the game

[rose pollen]

I smoke weed when I play satisfactory so when im doing basic math my brain slips

[golden nexus]

I think the slowest recipie does 3 mod/frame a minute?

bolted frame is like 7.5...

[rose pollen]

Yea ik it was a bit under exag im making like 10 a min

[median rain]

Bro I got the solar eclipse event bro😭 #screenshots

[rose pollen]

But for the 1k nuclear pasta I jeed powered

[fluid sapphire]

like i said, it really depends, there really is no reason not to build loads, so it saves your ass when you do need more

[rose pollen]

Power**

And atp im just gonna unlock all milestones and finish with max everything

[golden nexus]

Bear in mind a lot of the context of this conversatino originated with "Wow! does the game really take this long" which implies a measure by time metric... not min/maxing metrics or building massive super trains

[rose pollen]

Not worry about space elevator parts until I have ficsonium fuel rods

[golden nexus]

But as i said, you can get though the with a single box of storage per item without issue... so long as a factory keep replacing the box

[rose pollen]

I posted in design if you guys could let me know how to improve the build that would be great

Nuclear is a new ball park im alot better at fuel

[tame bobcat]

im excited to finally get oil and trains i think after i finish phase 2 and get phase 3

[rose pollen]

I love oil refining in this game its genuinely my favourite factory line

[fluid sapphire]

you are assuming that the two topics are glued together, they might not be

it really doesnt take a super large scale for a single container to not be enough

[golden nexus]

But i am also saying... you CAN do it.... like without difficulty... but if YOU want to create 10,000 power storage in a single go YOU will probably need more boxes of wire. But you don't NEED power storage to actually get though the game in a reasonable way

[rugged shard]

I wanna buy satisfactory on ps5 but does satisfactory ps5 version has EVERYTHING as pc version? or is there something missing/diffrent. I don’t count like the mods support or graphics yk, I mean like vanilla stuff

[fluid sapphire]

yeah sure, you can also argue you dont need dimensional depots at all

[golden nexus]

@fluid sapphire So you keep trying to prove the normal by introducing exceptional conditions, rather than looking at it in a reasoable playthough or reasonable frame of mind

[fluid sapphire]

i advocate for some excess, always

[golden nexus]

but i am not arguing that.... also we used to play no problem before demensional deports so yes.. it can be done

and yes... we used to be able to use drones and have a "bus" on drones to be able to remote call items to where we needed them on demand so we didn't have to go back to central storage.

[fluid sapphire]

i advocate for planning for exceptions when doing so takes no time or effort, thats all

ok grandpa, lets get you to bed

tell me about the war

[astral chasm]

yowch

[fluid sapphire]

my point is that a single container for a considerable number of resources is a laughably easy amount of materials to spend in a matter of minutes, at any scale that isnt microscopic

its not some kind of exception

[golden nexus]

Yeah and you have a failure to realise that any large volumn item used as build materials generally are trival to produce "at max belt speed". So in a way from my point of view your saying things like "I can use concrete at more than 780/minute". This is true for anything like wire, cable, concrete, plates, screws, rods, quickwire etc... this makes the point of "I must store 5 industrial container loads of concrete" pretty much irrelevant since you can fill a industrial containers in this state in less than 3-4 minutes.

You need to start looking at stuff with a more open mind. Your not right all the time, in fact... you look like your wrong in every discussion I have seen from you.

This also becomes obvious as a charater flaw when you result in having to use insults which reveals you have run out of actual real constructive points to be able to make.

As I said at the start of this "You can get though the game reasonably by using a single box per item"

[astral chasm]

can confirm

[fluid sapphire]

you brought up how things used to be in the past as if its some kind of authoritative data, i wasnt being serious with my grandpa statement lmao

[astral chasm]

yowch

[golden nexus]

How it was done in the past proved it could be done in the future.... its cause and effect or do you think time runs backwards or something?

[frosty nimbus]

Hey guys. I have a singleplayer world that I have opened up to play with friends. Only problem is I have more friends than the game allows on my world. Is there a way to increase this limit or do I need to set up a dedicated server and upload the world.

[astral chasm]

what are these formal ass statements

[golden nexus]

Theres a clear point here where your just having the argument because of ego based in irraiton line of think rather than something based in rational thought and you well into the irraitonal at this point

[fluid sapphire]

who's turning to insults now? all i was saying this whole time was that its easy to err on the side of caution and build more containers

[astral chasm]

you have to setup a dedicated server

[astral chasm]

whats the big deal with having to setup more containers?

[fluid sapphire]

it doesnt matter

[astral chasm]

its whoevers world

they can build more containers if they want

no reason to fight about it unless your just stating you opinion

although this seems like an argument

rather than a simple conversation

[fluid sapphire]

any time people ask about anything on the server, what you get is a personal opinion, if i am here when someone asks about dimensional depots, i offer my flavor of answer, which is "build lots of containers to be safe", its no different from anyone else offering their own take, but somehow my take is an unreasonable one

[astral chasm]

it seems like the other guy, M3l0n, is just trying to start an argument

[fluid sapphire]

sometimes, yeah, i can get a bit carried away arguing my case, i know that, its a character flaw sure

the original asker isnt even here anymore so it doesnt matter

[golden nexus]

Yes, So I gave an opinion... and you gave your, I actually think your is terrible advice to give to people. Mostly because they spam a lot of containers and then have to deal with a larger problem later. Or their large containers is masking / covering up other problems, like poor throughput, poor supply, bad factories etc... and then they hit a wall as a result of your advice

[fluid sapphire]

its not possible for any of that to happen in the context of buffering for dimensional depots

[golden nexus]

yes it is....

[fluid sapphire]

literally the only purpose for these containers is to buffer materials for high demand, its got nothing to do with anything outside of that

[golden nexus]

People will do things like stack industrial containers 5+ high and then have to deal with that taking an hour to sink later on.

[primal obsidian]

is stack size of plutonium waste 500

[real shale]

Let that sink in.....

[astral chasm]

https://tenor.com/view/let-that-sink-in-sink-door-open-door-meme-gif-11027748423699535107

[fluid sapphire]

if you build a factory to last, there is no need to sink it ever

[real shale]

Coupons are yummy though

[fluid sapphire]

sink the overflow

the contents of the containers can sit there just fine, nothing is lost

[astral chasm]

think imma start a new world and make it 2 things

[real shale]

Speaking of factories, I really want to get back to building but sometimes layout planning can give a headache

[astral chasm]

use the blueprint builderf

[fluid sapphire]

i have been procrastinating my high speed connector factory for weeks now

[real shale]

This is with it, the problem is the logistics

[primal obsidian]

why plan when you can just wing it

thats what i do never ran into problems

[real shale]

Because winging it ultimately causes problems later

[astral chasm]

1. look kinda good😭
2. make it actually profitable and make as most as the factory can

[real shale]

Good planning can cause a headache then but saves about 10 headaches later

[astral chasm]

so do good planning.

[fluid sapphire]

i think "kinda good" is a good bar

[real shale]

that's what I'm doing lol

[astral chasm]

when i build a big thing, i have to write notes

like literal notes

i go into my notepad, and write like 400 lines of notes

then build the factory

[real shale]

Hopefully when I'm done with this new factory I'll have 40 GW of turbo fuel generators alongside 630 plastic and rubber a minute

[astral chasm]

that'd be nice

although youll have way too much

your gonna get nuclear generators way way before you use a quarter of that power

[real shale]

I'm already using 39 GW lol

[astral chasm]

im producing 6GW of turbo fuel and am only using 3 GW and my next milestone is nuclear power

[astral chasm]

how????

[lean tiger]

Oh this makes me feel like ive gone too big

[real shale]

By building factories lol

[astral chasm]

how are you even generation that much power??????

[lean tiger]

The rocket fuel powerplant I have in progress is already 100GW and is expanding to 150

[dim flint]

I just found the best Hide and Seek spot on the map.

[real shale]

Two 15 GW fuel generator power plants

And then a bunch of coal

And geothermals too

[astral chasm]

bruh just get nuclear power

[real shale]

I can't....this is to get nuclear power lol

[astral chasm]

HOW????

[fluid sapphire]

i produce 135GW and use 50GW, and i havent even finished phase 4 hehe

[real shale]

I'm in the process of trying to get supercomputers automated

[astral chasm]

FAIR

caps

brb gotta get wood

[real shale]

Which is why I'm using this as opportunity to both double my power and get a lot of rubber and plastic at the same time

[lean tiger]

ahh i need more steel

[swift void]

Can we not upload pics to this channel

I can’t tell if my discord is broken or not

[real shale]

Nearly 400 hours in and still haven't delivered a single space elevator part for phase 4, albeit a little bit skewed because I fell asleep with the game still open a few times.

[lean tiger]

No just in the screenshots

[teal geyser]

Hold R on PC, can't remember what console is

[fluid sapphire]

whatever the reload button is

[fluid sapphire]

place a bunch of industrial storage containers and wait i guess, 7 should do, you can also sloop your current production, even if temporarily\

[astral chasm]

back

[astral chasm]

time

[unkempt blade]

first you unlock the skatepark foundations and the factory cart in the awesome shop then you build a skatepark for your factory cart then you record a route using the cart while doing some awesome tricks then you build 100 more carts and assign them all to run that route then you press the reload button and pick another type of nobelisk

[astral chasm]

a lot of waiting and time

[covert hill]

Hello players that satisfy factories. I was wondering, should I buy Satisfactory now at the 30% discount, or will there be a larger discount later on?

[fluid sapphire]

they had us in the first half, ngl

[lean tiger]

SteamDB

[fluid sapphire]

its not likely, anytime soon

[astral chasm]

alright, time to use the nuke nobelisk for the first time

[lean tiger]

30% is about what they always do

[unkempt blade]

you should buy at least 4 copies now and force the extras on your friends

[lean tiger]

Looking at it

[covert hill]

Uh, what friends? Haha.

[real shale]

okay then play 4 times at the same time

[unkempt blade]

you need to go make friends before you throw your life away on a satisfactory addiction!

[fluid sapphire]

thats right, once you start here, your former life is over

[astral chasm]

anybody willing to start a new world wth me? (must be willing to pull hundreds of all nighters for ts)

[covert hill]

I was asking because even at a 30% discount, my steam discount disorder tells me I need to wait for a better discount. But it seems there aren't larger discounts than 30%

Also, that is funny

[unkempt blade]

it used to be cheaper for part of EA but I think that's the best price we've seen recently

[fluid sapphire]

not since release, yeah

[sick falcon]

if i stick 1 item in a freight car, will it act as a buffer to prevent my train from docking at a fluid station while docking at the rest of the terminals in the station

[fluid sapphire]

i dont think fluid cars can dock at solid stations

[astral chasm]

yeah

[covert hill]

Good to know, will buy sometime or wait for the next sale

[real shale]

Honestly, with how much i enjoy this game, it feels bad for me to buy it at a discount.... coffee stain take my money like you did in DRG as well....

[covert hill]

Wise words from a wise man

[real shale]

unlike a certain other factory game that never goes on discount

[covert hill]

Which one?

[real shale]

Factorio

[unkempt blade]

As much as I like steam sales I do generally hate sales culture. I can respect someone picking a fair price and sticking to it for a good product

[real shale]

yeah i just dont like factorio nearly as much

[unkempt blade]

super annoying when some games are like $50 except when they're on sale for $6... just make it $10 all the time or whatever

[fluid sapphire]

idk, i like that if i wait a few years, i can get a game for 5EUR instead of 60

[real shale]

like i know if its a CSS game, its gonna be good most likely, hell i've dump a couple hundred hours into DRG

[sick falcon]

but the rest of the train cars will dock at the station, even if one cant?

[fluid sapphire]

yeah

they dock if they are lined up to platforms that they can dock to

[unkempt blade]

they even have placeholder platforms that just take up space and never load/unload if you want to be sure about it

[sick falcon]

i have another train that comes through and needs to pick up in that space tho

[clear tartan]

how come i just keep fining impure iron deposits

[fluid sapphire]

welcome to grass fields

[real shale]

not so impure when i run it through pure iron ingot recipes.....

[hard ivy]

Because there's 40 of tem

[clear tartan]

ah

[hard ivy]

And like half of them are in the grass fields lmao

[fluid sapphire]

i will not have impure iron node slander

they are perfectly adequate

[real shale]

I won't have grass fields slander either

[sick falcon]

is there a way i can make a train wait at the station until its full

[hard ivy]

If you count the 6 that are just north of GF, there's more than half

[hard ivy]

There's literally a setting that does exactly that

[fluid sapphire]

nor will I, it is my home

#screenshots message

[real shale]

wow that looks clean

[hard ivy]

They are, especially if there're several nearby (which there always are)

[sick falcon]

where do i change the settings for the station

[real shale]

why does your space elevator look so small

is this that far away

[unkempt blade]

it's beautiful but it needs more color and more carts!

[covert hill]

This is new to me. And it makes me sad

[clear tartan]

how many mergers do you need for 3 constructors

[covert hill]

Been waiting 2 months for a discount

[sullen gull]

If just merging the outputs to one belt, then just one.

[fluid sapphire]

thanks, its true my builds are kinda monocolor

[fluid sapphire]

heh, yeah, kinda far i guess

it looks a bit different now actually, it ever grows

i still plan to build my phase 5 elevator parts factory there

with some... factory carts

for once

[last tartan]

I was just looking at screenshots of satisfactory from its far earlier releases and HOLY COW some of those models..

[fluid sapphire]

its insane the work that has gone into this game

[soft marsh]

Might deviate from my current builds to see if I can get a nuclear reactor working

[last tartan]

It's definitely come a long way, and I'm only a new player. I bought this game back last April and was lucky enough to get early access right before 1.0

[lean tiger]

Does anyone else have full map train networks

[unkempt blade]

zero, all three get truck stations though and they have a route that drops them off in the 3rd station and uses the output belt to combine all the items

[last tartan]

I want to really bad but don't have a true need for it yet

[lean tiger]

I built one then found the need for it

[real shale]

uhhhh im getting there

[soft marsh]

I just started one. So far only have the track that circles the map

[lean tiger]

I really got into bridges for the cross map sections

[fluid sapphire]

its easier to build rail where you need it, rather than build it and hope you need it later

connect what needs connecting by rail, expand later

[last tartan]

I really badly wanted to build a giant rail that was an elaborate track going through

[fluid sapphire]

a dual rail system makes it simple to expand

[soft marsh]

I doubt I build one cutting across because mountains are a pita

[real shale]

oh yeah definitely, the more railways you built the less stressful it is when you have to expand it

[unkempt blade]

of course I'll need it later because I'm just make it run empty trains around if I have to!

[real shale]

building the first set of railways can definitely feel like a chore

[fluid sapphire]

that reminds me, i should set up some trains and stations specifically as a sort of bus schedule hehhehh

[lean tiger]

I put in one of my bridges

[fluid sapphire]

its a start

[soft marsh]

Current plan is to use these as my unloaders and have it sorted in the floor below #screenshots message

[lean tiger]

On the cross map route

[last tartan]

I still have lots of work to do before making any advancements across the map

and the copy of ARC Raiders im getting for christmas is going to hinder this work

[ivory condor]

Makes sense those FFRs are expensive on SAM so of course that optimizer would want to reduce its cost

[lean tiger]

How do you do the links to a different channel

[last tartan]

Go to your screenshot, right click (or hold on it for mobile) and click "Copy message link"

[sullen gull]

Click on the dots on the post and click Coppy link to message

[lean tiger]

Oh ok that makes sense

[last tartan]

but as of the new discord update it says copy, and it gives you the option to copy the message or its link

[lean tiger]

#screenshots message So this would be the main cross map bridge on my network

[last tartan]

there you go

[lean tiger]

Cool

[last tartan]

whole lotta random colors in there, neat

[lean tiger]

I assign every resource a colour palette

And then use it everywhere which keeps the builds colourful

Not really working on the powerplant though because the walls are monotone which hides the colours

[fluid sapphire]

not exactly across the entire map yet, but getting there

#screenshots message

[lean tiger]

Its close

[lean tiger]

#screenshots message This should help with seeing what the colours mean

Its genuinely concerning how much steel I use

[stone moth]

I just got steel production online. 7.5 steel beams per minute

[hollow onyx]

if im only transporting 40/m items a relatively short distance should i just use a tractor instead of a truck

[stone moth]

What you do is you put it in your inventory then start sprinting, crouch, jump, crouch, jump, etc. until you reach terminal velocity

[last tartan]

on the 23rd day of ficsmas

my calendar gave to me

a piece of coal.

[stone moth]

50 snowballs to throw at a tree

[last tartan]

isn't that great

[unkempt blade]

you need more snowballs those trees mean business

[lean tiger]

My most recent build (in progress) used 100,000 beams

Like I said I use a worrying amount of them

[stone moth]

that'll take me 222.222222 hours to make 😭

[unkempt blade]

100 kilobeams is a ton!

[lean tiger]

The worst part is I need 50,000 more

[unkempt blade]

150 kilobeams?!? madness!

[lean tiger]

The problem stems in the fact that my go-to design pieces are the braided cable cluster for tension things and the steel beams for everything else

[stone moth]

Indeed

[unkempt blade]

how many factory carts will they support at one time?

[stone moth]

I produce more steel beams per minute than i do reinforced plates per minute 😭

[unkempt blade]

how many kiloplates are we talking?

[stone moth]

5 per minute

[lean tiger]

only 0.005 kiloplates per minute

[stone moth]

Yes

[lean tiger]

Many

[unkempt blade]

that's a good start!

[stone moth]

I have over 100 hours in the game. I should be further than this

[unkempt blade]

you're amazing and talented and going at the perfect pace as long as you're having fun

[lean tiger]

Im 200 hours in and have the exact same production of kiloplates

[cyan leaf]

Is it worth using the rubber slt that uses plastic and fuel? As im on the fence as i have to kuch hor to burn through 😭

[lean tiger]

Take the game at your own pace

[unkempt blade]

yeah but how much gigafun are you having?

[stone moth]

How do you build stuff if you only have 5 plates a minute

[lean tiger]

Because I don't use many plates

I use mk5 belts

Because thats where im at which is aluminium

[stone moth]

I use mk 1

[primal obsidian]

like 2

[lean tiger]

Construction wise I use mostly refineries

[lean tiger]

idk 5

5/min

[stone moth]

i use mark 2 to split my pure miners then i have 2 mark 1 belts going into a merger that is connected to a mark 2. This is how broke I am

[unkempt blade]

you need to compare notes with Eldram he's clearly more successful at having fun so far

[primal obsidian]

how am i supposed to have fun if i cant find any SAM for my ficsonium fuel rods

nvm i found it

like 10 maybe 11

[unkempt blade]

I'd start by driving a factory cart over a jump pad and see where that takes you

[primal obsidian]

ok

somone made a factory cart skate park on the server im on

mkae this a spoiler bro

[stone moth]

Whoops

My bad

[unkempt blade]

is it really a spoiler? 😆

SAM was added over a year ago

[stone moth]

It was in beta

but it didnt have any use

you couldnt even automate the mining of it because the miners wouldnt mine it

[lean tiger]

#screenshots message This is why my stuff uses so much steel

That is 250 steel beams worth of support

[primal obsidian]

i guess

but yknow it still tells the location of the node so

[stone moth]

I finally have 900 mw of energy

Do any of you guys use the crouch jump method of transportation?

[primal obsidian]

i finally got my 120 GW nuclear power plant to actually produce 120 GW

now i can upgrade it to burn ficsonium and plutonium

for 90 more GW

now i just have to hope my train network doesent ruin it

[lean tiger]

Hypertubes and jetpack for me

[unkempt blade]

how many screws are you making for the uranium rod chain?

[primal obsidian]

0 because i hate screws

none

not a single screw in sight

in all 5 or 6 factories i made i didnt use a single screw

[unkempt blade]

oh 🙁

[lean tiger]

Why

[primal obsidian]

last tiem i used a screw was like when i had 20 hrs in the game and no alts so i used it to make reinforced iron plates

[lean tiger]

the factory im building handles 4.3 kiloscrews a minute in total

[primal obsidian]

too many

[solemn glacier]

using kilo{material} is crazy

[primal obsidian]

thats 4.3 kiloscrews too many

i shouldve used 1200 uranium and not 600

then i couldve had 96 reactors not just 48

[hard ivy]

After steel, making more than 0 screws is too many

[unkempt blade]

yeah it's totally kilocrazy

[solemn glacier]

except for power of course

[unkempt blade]

we all know those are measured in milligigawatts for a single generator

[solemn glacier]

but we tell corporate we are almost to gigawatt scale

[white dawn]

ya'll

[solemn glacier]

echo "yes?"

[sick falcon]

yes, i’m too lazy to build a hyper tube cannon

[hard ivy]

whoever wrote that in the christmas video needs to be locked in the basement until february

[hot burrow]

give them to ada

[white dawn]

Presumably it's the next forward slash vs. backslash

[solemn glacier]

put them in a hypertube canon

[solemn glacier]

using backslash for directories is immoral

[hot burrow]

make them build 17 reinforced plates (270/s) factories

[white dawn]

Heh, I was just referring to some memeish content from some past streams/videos where the two were labelled incorrectly on some signs in the background. :D

[primal obsidian]

stock market update when

[astral chasm]

wsg boys

[white dawn]

Pretty boring stock market when the only company to invest in is FICS

[solemn glacier]

communism?

[primal obsidian]

BREKIT is their rival

and you instantly get nuked if you invest in the other company

[lean tiger]

Thats the best thing Ive heard all day

[astral chasm]

sounds like fun. when and where

[unborn moss]

You don't even have any money to invest in the stock market.

[primal obsidian]

coupon

which FICSIT owns so they can just take all your coupons if you invest in BREKIT

super exciting stock market

[solemn glacier]

that would be cool

an ingame stock market tieed to steam player count

[cyan leaf]

Fff such a pain hunting hard drives

[faint imp]

bro fr

i once found a hard drive like 1000 miles from base

[wicked nacelle]

If you don’t enjoy it you can either turn on AGS or on PC use SCIM to unlock recipes

[cyan leaf]

Whats ags? Ik in console

[faint imp]

ya but i like the adventuer

[wicked nacelle]

You can also use scim to know where they are.

!wikisearch advanced game settings

[raven axle]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/index.php?search=advanced+game+settings

[wicked nacelle]

Ags does disable achievements on that save though.

[faint imp]

o

[cyan leaf]

Ohh and fffff

[wicked nacelle]

The SCIM map can show you where they are but only on PC can it show you which you haven’t collected

SCIM also shows what if anything is needed to open the freighter door

[faint imp]

nice and good to know thank you

BTW dose anyone want to like play with me in my save since I'm like really board

its ok if you don't want to

[wicked nacelle]

thank you

[primal obsidian]

i just need like 30 more ballistic warp drives to finish the game

[sick falcon]

what happens to the christmas stuff once december ends

[marsh shard]

does conveyor throughput only display within the range of 1 minute?

[primal obsidian]

like only shows you x/min instead of x/second?\

[marsh shard]

no , i m saying , does it show the last 60 seconds the conveyor throughput has detected or does it show within its life span

[wicked nacelle]

Yes the history it keeps is about a minutes worth. For intermittent production it’s pretty useless

[marsh shard]

ok ty

[wicked nacelle]

Or for train drop offs or anything that is bursty. It would be super nice if it were configurable

I’d love a 10 minute setting on it

[stray summit]

yoo whats up satisfacotry

@split trench how do you make and use blueprints? ive got a spaghetti world that i WANT to make VERY COMPACT but the thing is i dont have the ability to save whatever i think up

[spice spindle]

I JUST learned about blueprint autoconect 💀

[stray summit]

wish i could post media in this channel specifically to show yall how crappy my base is

lol

[wicked nacelle]

You can post in screenshots and link it

https://discord.com/channels/370472939054956546/553550313533997057

[stray summit]

ohhhhhh

so @split trench - how do you make blueprints?

eh...

[lean tiger]

Its the greatest thing

[lean tiger]

If you build on a foundation base it will be 1000x better

[tired cypress]

Blueprint autoconnect only seems to work with railroads for me. Not power poles, belts, or pipes

[lean tiger]

Belts and pipes work they just need to be on supports at the edge of the blueprint

I don't think power poles do

[median solar]

Anyways to like pre-set the color? I’m tired of coloring each machine in my factory.

[tired cypress]

Ah, I need to go add supports then

[stone moth]

I would like to know too

[real shale]

who all enjoys destroying the environment?

[gloomy dagger]

Bruh you just reminded me to do that when i get home

[stone moth]

Me

[tired cypress]

You can change the default colors in the customizer

[gloomy dagger]

I forgot to do all that. I was just too excited that i foundout how blueprints worked that i guess lol

[bold heron]

happy ficsmas everyone have a wounderful day.

[median solar]

Ohhh I think I got it ty

[tired cypress]

You can bind colors and materials to hotbar too. I don't remember if you can bind a building with a specific color?

[real shale]

gonna go insane, just placed all of my pipe line infrastructure to put water into my new 40 GW power plant only to realise half of the line has been nudged one to the left at some point and i didnt notice

[tired cypress]

I mean I'm not doing it for fun. I'm doing it because the damn trees won't get out of my way. It just happens to be fun.

[real shale]

you know what, screw it, theres going to be two frame foundations with a slight overlap its fine

[median solar]

I hate manifolds so so much

[dense violet]

you hate the easiest most compact and cleanest way of feeding machines?

[cyan leaf]

For using package recipes the amount of containers is just the amount of a certain package recipe u need? Like if i need 50 package water i use 50 empty containers?

[fickle fossil]

Hi I have a question. What is the best item to build a huge factory for for sinking it into the awesome sink? Is it the ballistic warp drive because it gives the most points or are other items more efficient? Because i need 300 coupons and it will take me about 5 days non stop running to get the remaining tickets at my current rate of 2 mio points / min

[dense violet]

usually it's 1:1 yes.
for gast is 4 gas to 1 container though

[dense violet]

!wikisearch sink

[raven axle]

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

[median solar]

Yes because it’s restricted on Mk. and the last machine takes ages to get materials.

[dense violet]

define "efficient" ?

[dense violet]

load balancers are also restricted to your highest belt speed

[fickle fossil]

best effort/reward ratio

[dense violet]

depends on your recipe choices and how you like to build.
there's no single answer for this

[teal geyser]

Just have to progress through the game to get faster belts

[cyan leaf]

Wait for the diluted fuel recipe its the same just 1:1?

[fickle fossil]

alright thanks

[dense violet]

2 packaged water turns to 2 packaged fuel by adding HOR

[dense violet]

also, that'll be the answer to basically every general 'what is more efficient' question. There's no meta in the game.
you have to ask extremely specific questions and specific what kind of efficiency you want. Often down to which specific resource you want to be 'efficient' in

[median solar]

If load balancers would look better I would def use them more

[spice spindle]

I wish I could get over this damn hump -.-

I can't seem to manage to make anything that'll work despite all the advice here

[dense violet]

what are you trying to make?

[spice spindle]

maybe my brain just isn't big enough DX

still working on that damn sulfur transport

[dense violet]

turbo fuel?

[spice spindle]

yeah. I thought about doing a long belt but it would get in the way of other stuff

[dense violet]

do it anyway, just move it through terrain and stuff. Simplify things a lot

[dense violet]

or just make diluted fuel instead. Still tons of power

[spice spindle]

I don't have the recipe and can't find all the hard drives. I don't have them as a scannable resource yet

[dense violet]

hunt for them anyway, it's much simpler and makes your life much easier. Just use zip line and look at high points, you can find TONS of hard drives easily before the scanner is available. Thats AGES away

[spice spindle]

ah screw it. Might as well

I'l give up on the stupid sulfur train right now. The route is just freaking impossible

[cyan leaf]

😭 ngl im solider through this hell with like only a few useful altz lol

[cyan leaf]

Do one better make it a sky train (sky base the route so u have nothing in its way)

[lean tiger]

Why so

[spice spindle]

and at this point, it's ruining my enjoyment of the darn game

[dense violet]

learn one thing at a time 🙂 do long belts

[dense violet]

get all the alts

[spice spindle]

the sulfur is on a high cliff.

[lean tiger]

Oh let me quickly get to my cliff scaling thing

[spice spindle]

and the area it needs to go is also highly elevated

[dense violet]

part of planning a factory is choosing a location and logistics management for it - having huge elevation changes for a train is... not great

but that's part of your learning process , you'll see whats easier and harder and make choices

[spice spindle]

Yeah I'm realizing that now.....

[lean tiger]

#screenshots message This is how I scale cliffs with trains

[spice spindle]

that's literally insane

[unkempt blade]

just remember that you're amazing and talented and totally capable of building a big foundation ramp with a conveyor belt on top to solve any problem the world may present you with

[lean tiger]

It works

[spice spindle]

impressive.

Something I actually DO want to understand better are dual rail systems

[lean tiger]

belts might be better tho for a single node

That spiral carries something like 5000 ipm in trains

[dense violet]

two lanes? easier than single lanes

at least if you have more than 1 train

[spice spindle]

I kinda don't get how if it's for a single node e.e

[dense violet]

like I said, if you need more than 1 train

just have 2 lanes, like a road, and a station off the main 'road' way

[spice spindle]

I'm kinda having a hard time visualizing it e.e

[sour ledge]

i can get you a screenshot one sec

[spice spindle]

Oh thank you that'd help x.x

youtube vids I've tried watching have always just showed the middle of a route instead of showing destinations DX

[cyan leaf]

The only alts I dont have that I currently using is the frames (both the heavy and normal versions) but everything are 1 offs or not that bad for basic tho

[sour ledge]

#screenshots message

This is a very basic "offshoot" station for dual rail

[unkempt blade]

biocoal is pretty sweet though, right?

[cyan leaf]

Im pass needing coal 😭

[sour ledge]

note that in this one it assumes its only coming from and going one direction - i'd have to do a loop back and split on both sides (mirror the track) for it to go either way.

In this case i didn't bother tho 'cause i know exactly where this train is going and coming from, and it'll only ever need one train.

[unkempt blade]

oh ok but you must at least be enjoying cast screws right?

[cyan leaf]

Yeah duh I have the cast screws im to lazy to hunt for the alts that removes em from the recipes (aka the heavy frames)

[spice spindle]

OHHHH that makes more sens now

[real shale]

ooooo new trinket

[unkempt blade]

Why would you remove them? If you want to flex on people you need to start screwmaxing

[sour ledge]

#screenshots message

^This one is a more complicated example, but just the same concept expanded. four stations, with tracks setup to go to/from either direction

[spice spindle]

Ohhh this is certainly interesting. you worked the intersection in there too

[sour ledge]

(the track is deliberately laid out so that trains can only go 'forward' on the right-hand side. because bidirectly track is how you get crashes... same as real life roads.)

[dim flint]

@fiery pewter #screenshots message

you're really making me want to find some spots to connect my buildings by tunnel in my next project.

[dense violet]

in general though you don't want many trains stopping at 1 station - often just 1

[dim flint]

Reminds me of a subway.

[dense violet]

so multi direction entrances generally aren't needed

[unkempt blade]

Your tiny train stations are amazing. Little baby trains everywhere!

[sour ledge]

i got real, real tired of spacing out cargo containers. So now its just an army of small trains.

[lean tiger]

I was going to say it’s a nice change of pace from the 6 wagon trains i work with

[fiery pewter]

It just happened to naturally form during the building of my starter base. Those lights did cost me all of my quartz

[lean tiger]

The stations are too large to fit everywhere

[unkempt blade]

I do 1:4's for just about everything so I don't have to think too hard about it with my global train network

[sour ledge]

i mean, its basically sky rail. i do ramp up/down so its not super high up off the ground, but i've got all the space for stations i decide to build out lol

[lean tiger]

Oh that makes sense

And then belt lift it to the height it needs to be

[unkempt blade]

look up in the sky! it's a bird! it's a plane! no it's skytrain!

[sour ledge]

yup - i often put factories under my rail, or if the factory is large i'll at least try to make the final outputs come out near the stations. Then i just lift it up to load up and done

[mental raft]

9ite chrisrmas eve

[unkempt blade]

yeah I like building factories as "supports" under my skyroads

[sour ledge]

exactly! i've got a copper sheet factory im building right now that's just like that lol

[lean tiger]

Wait actually

[cyan leaf]

Oh yeah im screwmaxing till I lose my mind

[lean tiger]

Im still building more fuel gens

Have been for a couple hours now

[sour ledge]

you have my condolences. that was me yesterday

[lean tiger]

I built an entire new steel production line just to provide more steel beams for the design around them

[sour ledge]

i built a 'small' rocket fuel factory using just 450 crude... but it still meant 180 generators 🤦

[lean tiger]

See I built a large rocket factory using 1200 crude leading to 576 reactors

🙂

[dim flint]

Worth it. You'll have a lot more.

[lean tiger]

Thus why it’s taking so long

[sour ledge]

man last save i did a 360 generator tower and i was about ready to crash tf doing all the piping for the stupid generators

[lean tiger]

Blueprint auto connect 🙂

The annoying thing is my design uses around 200 steel beams and 100 concrete per generator in framework

It adds up fast

[sour ledge]

i feel that. mods are to blame in my case but my rail tunnel uses 320 steel beams for every six foundations of length

150 concrete too but i mean, the steel beams are definitely the problem there

[lean tiger]

Yikes

[sour ledge]

i ended up making an aluminum beam that split into a dozen depots so i wouldn't hate life building my rail out

[lean tiger]

I think my worst bridge for steel is something like 50 beams/foundation

I would need to check

[sour ledge]

i put fancy beams in it, the emissive beams from structural solutions

[hollow onyx]

i have a 2000 aluminum ingot plant and I have 1 random scrap machine that i saw at 99% and one assembler that is at 97. I hate pipes

[sour ledge]

and they devour steel apparently. didn't really consider material cost when i shoved 'em all in there

[cinder jay]

what color lighting would look good im in the desert

[lean tiger]

I still don’t use any mods

[sour ledge]

ah yeah i use a bunch. if you only use one mod ever i recommend the grappling hook. even with my jetpack i love my grappling hook.

[cyan leaf]

Is it normal that for people om phase 4 to not have a single part of their factory pumping over 100 of an item per minute?

[lean tiger]

What does it for my bridges is the cable

It’s 1 beam per meter and on my largest bridge there are 200+ meter cables

[sour ledge]

oooo that'd do it yeah

[lean tiger]

Still the worst is the power plant because I can build it out so much faster

Dimensional depot can barely keep up with bridges because it’s a fairly manual process but there is no chance for it on the power plant

[unkempt blade]

you need more uploaders!

it's crazy how many people don't understand that truck stations are the best thing that you can snap conveyors onto

it's just basic physics

[cyan leaf]

Is it worth doing 25 rotors per minute? Like do rotors have any use outside of tue motor recipe?

[unkempt blade]

yeah especially if you're screwmaxing

[cyan leaf]

Idk if ur joking or not 😭

[sour ledge]

off the top of my head you do use them mostly for motors and smart plating.

That said, you can use a lot of motors. a lot a lot.

[unkempt blade]

They get used in smart plating and you use smart plating a lot for elevator shipments. Rotors also get used a fair amount in buildables

[cyan leaf]

Im on phase 4 lol

[sour ledge]

you still need smart plating yo its just buried in your thermal rockets lol

[unkempt blade]

yeah they go into motors and then motors and rotors both go into turbomotors so it adds up pretty fast

[sour ledge]

and in phase 5 bad news: you'll still need more smart plating because they go into your engines that go into your rockets that go into your better rockets. it's smart plating all the way down son

[cyan leaf]

Alr alr cause im trying to get into building bigger factories

[sour ledge]

yeah though turbomotors are the biggest consumer in general, outside of phase requirements

[cyan leaf]

I think im not up to that uet

[fiery pewter]

Very true

Honestly

Turning the basic factory swatch to full orange and black goes pretty hard

[sour ledge]

if you're in phase 4 you actually are pretty close to turbo motors being your problem. they're a tier 8 thingy

im actually coming up on that myself but rn my focus is on getting 75 radio controllers/minute going

i kept running out last save, but i figure if i get a factory producing 75 of the stupid things with mk2 miners, i can get up to 150 in phase 5 no problem and won't have that problem. i'll have other problems, but not that one!

[grizzled lotus]

I know you can click the mouse wheel button to copy a structure, but is there a way to copy a number of structures? I want to copy my hypertube cannon into a blueprint

[sour ledge]

you can middle click and copy a whole blueprint at once, but you'd have to make the blueprint first

to copy a blueprint you go into dismantle mode, push r (or whatever on console) to switch to blueprint dismantling mode, then middle click and it'll let you build a copy of the blueprint

[median solar]

What alternate for screw is better ? Steel or iron ingots ?

[white dawn]

Whatever's more appropriate for your current needs

[sour ledge]

i usually use cast screw when i have to involve screws.... but i also usually use recipes that just don't use screws by the time i have steel beams available.

[white dawn]

There's rarely any "best" -- just whatever fits your current production criteria

[sour ledge]

i am a firm supporter of team screw screws who removes them from their production chains as soon as im given the chance

[median solar]

Honestly yea fck them screws… ima go cast screws cuz the math seems easier on that.

[unkempt blade]

yeah but what's your favorite recipe that uses screws?

[sour ledge]

AWESOME shop.

[unkempt blade]

good choice, mine is copper rotors

[median solar]

Bolted Iron Plate

[grizzled lotus]

I was going to build another alien power augmenter and then noticed they cost TEN somesloops

[median solar]

It pairs perfectly with the 50 per min from the Cast Screws.

[unkempt blade]

I always seem to use stitched plates but I think that's mostly just an excuse for me to use iron wire which is a great alt recipe

[cyan leaf]

Ughh how can u guys be ass to hunt for alts

[spice spindle]

I think I need to draw a diagram on paper 💀

[unkempt blade]

because then I get to run around and loot crash sites + befriend doggos

[median solar]

I always plan on my iPad. So yes valid

[unkempt blade]

I used the etch a sketch alt recipe which they swear is functionally identical to an ipad for planning purposes

[cyan leaf]

😭 like how do u deal with the ones that are really high upp

[unkempt blade]

build a ramp, sometimes you can do a jump puzzle to get there, or use a jetpack or hoverpack

[median solar]

Ramps

[cyan leaf]

Fff tike to bloody waste hours hunting these things for horrible items

[median solar]

Honestly the only annoying part are the creatures attacking

[cyan leaf]

I turned my save into peaceful cause I legit rage quit bc of em

[unkempt blade]

and then we smack them with a basher and say "no spider that's a bad spider that's my somersloop!"

but yeah I do most of my heavy alt-hunting after I unlock the jetpack. It trivializes most of the challenging parts

[white dawn]

Though you're also getting spheres and sloops and DNA while you explore. All kinds of goodies!

[median solar]

This.

[white dawn]

Though if you don't enjoy recipe hunting you can enable AGS to just unlock 'em automatically

(at the cost of achievements)

[cyan leaf]

Im not doing ags its I hate the rng part like bruhhh

[unkempt blade]

At least for the first save I think it's worth doing the hunting. They did a really great job with the map and it's pretty interesting to explore when it's fresh

[white dawn]

IMO the v1.0+ exploration loop is well worth it. Prior to 1.0 I admit I'd often find it difficult to tear myself away from factory building. But there's so many benefits with the extra Alien Stuff now

(of course it's also easier to justify exploration when you're going hardcore into expansion mode)

(gotta find those Appropriate Factory Spots™ after all!)

[sour ledge]

yeah i like to do a lot of exploration (heck, im over 2000 shards this run from slugs alone... slooped, but still). I also kinda enjoy the combat tho, so the monsters don't bug me.

i've got an industrial storage fulla alien dna that's alllllmost full. ADA said exploit all local resources, and the local fauna are not exempt!

[stray summit]

who tf DOESNT

[unkempt blade]

that could be so many coupons!

[sour ledge]

oh it will be

[stray summit]

imagine automating animal butchery

[sour ledge]

but im saving up all my dna capsules until i finish phase 5 to see how many i collect lol

[stray summit]

thatd be insane

[sour ledge]

i'd do it in a heartbeat yo - ficsit has a ranching destiny!

[old grail]

i just sat here for about 20 minutes watching the “updating system” screen in the hub while eating

it just restarts.

[stray summit]

i noticed the bot reacts a COUPON on my sentence with a COUPON in it

[old grail]

[stray summit]

haha

[sour ledge]

wait, dyno is a bot?

that explains so much. i was wondering how he managed to quickly react with christmas emoji's so often...

[stray summit]

"Coupon reacted by Satisfactory Bot"

[sour ledge]

LIKE. THAT.

[old grail]

i also just found out about zoop building, mass dismantling, and sliding yesterday

[real shale]

Christmas coupon

[sour ledge]

lol will in there helping the bot

[real shale]

Oh it doesn't do both I see

[stray summit]

hahaa you notice

[old grail]

coupon christmas

[sour ledge]

it just does christmas as a priority over coupon? that's funny

[old grail]

so christmas is more important than ficsit rewards

[stray summit]

coupristmas

[real shale]

Oh it prioritises Christmas, Ada will not be happy

[stray summit]

christmas christmas christmas

[sour ledge]

if you hadn't tested that i woulda assumed it just reacts to the first word

[stray summit]

only does it once

[real shale]

Speaking of which, I got a nice new trinket today, another one to add to the collection.

[stray summit]

what else is it reacting to

[unkempt blade]

mine was a factory cart, it was very nice

[stray summit]

saw it in the searching thing
the bot is zepplin

[real shale]

I smell so bad it gave me a scented trinket

All that crude oil I've been handling today it seems

[stray summit]

!wikisearch lizard

[stray summit]

seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee its zepplin

[cyan leaf]

How many hard drives woukd give me a good chance to get something like stitch plates?

[sour ledge]

that's kinda impossible to answer - hard drives can only give you rewards you're qualified for, so it depends on what you've unlocked for your chances

you can kinda manipulate it too - if you leave a hard drive scanned but unclaimed, neither of the recipes it offers can show up on later hard drive scans.

early game stitched plates is a really common unlock because you unlock its reqs very early, but if you're late game the odds'll be a lot lower, y'know? buncha other stuff it could be

[cyan leaf]

True i do have a slight collection of meh recipes

[primal obsidian]

what does it mean by mwh

on batteries

[unkempt blade]

Me Want Harddrives

[primal obsidian]

wow these batteries really really waant hard drives

[unkempt blade]

who doesn't? alt recipes are all amazing

[cyan leaf]

Which alt is better bolt or adhesive plates,

😭 I can't decide as both i hahe alot of (in terms of screws and pipes haha pupes(

[sullen gull]

There arre nough hard drives on the map for all of them eventually. If you don't need either one atm, just hold on to them so they don't come up again when you scan more hard drives.

[cyan leaf]

Alr alr and shii

Waitt is encased industrial pipes always worth getting?

[spice spindle]

I'm thinking I should move my power plant to the blue crater aread

Everything i need is right there and it'll be upgraded easily 🤔

[sick falcon]

are conveyor ceiling mounts not height adjustable

like normal conveyor poles

[sullen gull]

But stackable.

[strong fiber]

Can someone send a three way train intersection

I need to know how to build one

[golden nexus]

3 foundation gaps on each 90 degree turn, put the striagh tparts down first

[golden nexus]

Make it like this #1452376735759732766 message

[strong fiber]

Too lazy for allat

[primal obsidian]

then dont use trains?

[cold geode]

How dose one enter the fixmas comp?

[white dawn]

I believe the details are all here: https://www.reddit.com/r/SatisfactoryGame/comments/1pb7k7j/ficsmas_competition_2025/

[cold geode]

I've read it im just confused on were I need to post the screenshots

[white dawn]

Ah, I assume they mean just Reddit threads. "Flair" is a reddit thing, yeah?

[cold geode]

Never used reddit before so I just assume its like a tag then?

[white dawn]

Heh, I guess so. I don't really use reddit either. :)

(I mean, I've posted occasionally, and obviously stumbled across posts occasionally when looking for specific info, but I've never "engaged" with the platform)

[cold geode]

Sweet as thank u

[hybrid nymph]

Hello my fellow Ficsit Pioneers

What tier is everyone on? I am on tier 7

Just finished tier 6 yesterday

[primal obsidian]

tier 9

[whole drum]

It's a cesspool. Better avoided, except in an occasional search for bespoke information.

[hybrid nymph]

Nice someone is close to beating the game 😁

[primal obsidian]

no im done

[golden nexus]

Reddit was ok until about 2008 and then it went of a cliff

[primal obsidian]

just waiting for the other people who helped me to get on so we can watch the launch

[primal obsidian]

#screenshots message

[hybrid nymph]

Awesome 💯😎

This is my 5th playthrough, what number playthrough is everyone else on?

[teal geyser]

3. I played 100 hours on my 1st one, started a 2nd playthrough for like 200 hours, and then stopped playing and waited until 1.0 to start a 3rd one in case they moved some nodes around and such

[grim carbon]

what stuff can i feed into the awesome sink?

[tired cypress]

I think 4, but at least one was the beta that didn't have phase 5, and one was with some cheats

[golden nexus]

Lost count, done a lot of multiplayer, sometimes we have been able to beat the game in the past in less than 48 hours

[versed cosmos]

Almost anything

I think leaves, wood, mycelia, and alien parts and alien protein can't be given to the sink

[grim carbon]

i've tried to put things in my inventory directly into the sink but nothing goes in

[versed cosmos]

But that can all be crafted into stuff that you then can sink

[grim carbon]

oh

[versed cosmos]

You need to use a belt man

[whole drum]

Connect it to a storage bin

Dump items in there

[golden nexus]

Anything organic/living can't go in, as well as coupons (except the first one) and power shared, spheres, sloops and other items like them.. which are non renewable

[grim carbon]

ok

[whole drum]

Pretty sure biomass can, but alien protein I think cannot

[golden nexus]

Full list and the points is here https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/AWESOME_Sink

[grim carbon]

thanks

[golden nexus]

Yup

[primal obsidian]

1st im playing on a multiplayer server so i joined at the very very start of phase 3

actually no 2nd i played a little on singleplayer and got to phase 2

omg wait 0 waste nuclear has been achieved

[golden nexus]

It can be hard, you get a high attrition rate and also you get lots of spagetti

its hard if you have very exprienced people playing with new players as well

[primal obsidian]

the people on the server helped me a lot

especially that guy who told me about manifolds

[latent surge]

noob here. What happens to the inventory of stations I deconstruct? (Like storage containers)

[primal obsidian]

into your inventoy

[golden nexus]

they get put in your inventory or boxed

[whole drum]

This depends heavily on the attitudes of the players and if they have shared goals

[primal obsidian]

or dismantle crate

[versed cosmos]

goes into your inventory. if there's no space it gets put in a dismantle crate

[golden nexus]

Yeah. Often the early game moves really fast for new players..... like too fast....

[whole drum]

It definitely can

[latent surge]

I have storage containers totally full though, so it wouldn't fit in my inventory. Ok so it would go into like a one-time use crate?

[versed cosmos]

yes

[whole drum]

I like to walk them through how it works and teach the controls as we go. Makes for a much stronger learning experience without being too overwhelming.

[versed cosmos]

Nothing gets lost. Ficsit does not waste.

Even unsuitable pioneers may be ground down into biofuel to power the factories of their replacements.

[golden nexus]

Yeah, Its not like people won't help, but if you have 3-4 very experienced guys the games going to "go" in our case were were hammering the big red button + mam solid until end of phase 2

[whole drum]

Yeah, have seen that too--especially if there's a decent division of labor

[golden nexus]

Yeah this was early on.... #screenshots message

[robust nova]

mine still looks like that mid game lol

[primal obsidian]

i learned by helping other people work on their projects like the heavy mod frame factory

[golden nexus]

This was first coal plant... #screenshots message

then we switched to geothermal and power augmenter lol

[versed cosmos]

before oil?

[golden nexus]

yes

[robust nova]

So what is the input for the power augmenter for?

[golden nexus]

late game

[versed cosmos]

had to steal a bunch of stuff from crash sites to get geothermal and power augmenter lol

power augmenter is so good

just lets you build power anywhere

[golden nexus]

Yup... there wasn't enough work so it makes sense to get people collecting early

[robust nova]

I built one, and connected it to my power grid, but I dont have anymore sloops atm

[primal obsidian]

||alien power matrix made with power shards, you can automate power shards in tier 9||

[versed cosmos]

kickstart new power plants or just build a small isolated grid to power something small

[golden nexus]

Issue we were havnig is constant short supply of build materials... even though we had things like 80/min plate... kept running out of them

[versed cosmos]

so many people building lol

[golden nexus]

Yup... like i stuck up a 20min rplate factory

somebody else did rotor... hence hte large coal plant quickly after

[whole drum]

Nice thing is, once you hit steel you can start on DDs, makes things much nicer

[golden nexus]

poor ADA getting left behind with 2-3 poeple trying to unlock different things at the same time

[golden nexus]

We had them before.... pipes...

[versed cosmos]

then you suffer through the abysmal upload speed at the start lol

[whole drum]

In MP you prioritize upload over cap

[versed cosmos]

i do that anyway lol

[golden nexus]

We unlocked the whole lot in a few hours

[robust nova]

I posted my starter area in Screenshots

[whole drum]

And with extra players, you can put an extra one on plates and concrete

[robust nova]

how do I link to my screenshots liek everyone else has been?

[versed cosmos]

copy the link

[cyan leaf]

Fff I hate making rubbing 😭hor really messes me up

[golden nexus]

Right clikc get link

[robust nova]

ah ty

[golden nexus]

rubber you mean?

[versed cosmos]

fuel first then rubber with the polymer resin

[cyan leaf]

Yes

[whole drum]

It's just another recipe. Don't let it intimidate you.

[golden nexus]

Go full 10 ref for rubber 10 ref for plastic and 7.5 HOR

[versed cosmos]

i've never done the recycled loop it seems so complicated

[golden nexus]

its not recycled loop

Its just a node for rubber, a node for plastic

[cyan leaf]

The recycle loop isn't actually that difficult as im currently making one atm

[golden nexus]

The reason is you get 300/min crude -> rubber, 300/min crude -> plastic = 200/min plasitc, 200/min rubber, 300/min HOR.

[cyan leaf]

But using the recycle recipes for rubber and plastic it deals with it by itself

[golden nexus]

The rrason for doing that is when you go to build computer your going to use 150/min or plastic / rubber....

[primal obsidian]

230 hrs

[feral jay]

3,200 hrs

[golden nexus]

recycler loop with blender for diluted fuel?

[cyan leaf]

Mostly rubber using the caterium alt and it uses strict rubber and so i never have to deal with rubber

[hollow terrace]

18 hrs

[cyan leaf]

Slightly annoying but manageable

[latent surge]

sorry, stupid question, but where is the dismantle crate? It doesn't seem to be where I dismantled the station

[feral jay]

Is it on the compass?

[golden nexus]

Rubber makes 2x the HOR than plastic.

[sullen gull]

There is a setting that allows for merging. Sometimes they end up farther than needed. Take a look at your map and it should show up there.

[latent surge]

oh duh I found it :/

[golden nexus]

Thats what an initial il looks like for me #screenshots message

[feral jay]

Dismantle crates show up at the player position, not the position of whatever you dismantled

[robust nova]

When I originally built my power plant, I didnt have the better alternates, but I have 20 refineries with normal fuel recipes, making 600 resin/minute, I am then feeding it into 13 refineries, 5 making plastc/ 100/min, 6 making rubber 120/min and 2 fabric 60/min

[versed cosmos]

This can be changed in settings. You can also have seperate crates per dismantle or merge dismantle crates.

[feral jay]

I thought only a mod could do that?

[versed cosmos]

I don't think so

I'm modless and I think I've seen these settings

[golden nexus]

This about oil, if you just make the rubber/plastic and then convert the HOR to fuel your power positive..... if you burn it in a fuel gen

[feral jay]

Ah, yeah, either "Next To Player" or "On Dismantle Site"

And right under it, "Merge Dismantle Crates"

Awesome, I missed them adding that

[golden nexus]

peolpe got fed up with them stuck in the sky

[robust nova]

Yea, I just recently got the diluted fuel recipe, debating on the amount of work it would take me to revamp my power plant. ive already got it set to upgrade from turbo fuel to rocket

[golden nexus]

it not worth it until later on normally

[feral jay]

Heh I just made the switch to turbofuel

[versed cosmos]

May I suggest getting nitro rocket fuel and skipping turbo completely

[golden nexus]

Generally you need the blender... the package loops are kinda meh

This is a Crude -> HOR -> Diluted Fuel -> Turbo Fuel -> Gens are at 200% #screenshots message

[robust nova]

I have been slow rolling my playthrough I think, way paste the point of skipping turbo

[versed cosmos]

Fair enough

[hollow onyx]

how do i make a train slide off a track and slide back on for a train station parallell to the rails

[sullen gull]

I'm about to build this in/over the blue crater 😏

[versed cosmos]

please post a screenshot in #screenshots

[sullen gull]

Or, more preferably, use #1038092680493801533 to make a thread.

[golden nexus]

Yeah you can make it to nuclear normally from that and skip the other fuels

[sullen gull]

Oh, I'll be doing another nuke plant too 🙂

This is all just having fun 😛

[hollow onyx]

i made a questions thread

https://discord.com/channels/370472939054956546/1453230896374091917

[golden nexus]

Yeah, Thats just 300/min crude btw.. single normal node

Its fairly easy for people if they have not built one before to bite off more than they expect

[cyan leaf]

Brooo i think the recycle loop is gonna crash my gird lol

[golden nexus]

If your crashing a grid with a 3+3 ref setup you need more coal power.....

[robust nova]

Oooo, I underestimated the hoverpack

[dim flint]

@sullen gull too many fuel generators!
#screenshots message
Also, what are you using those splurgers for?

[sullen gull]

They are priority splitters. It's a way to calc easier and see if I have any "excess" when trying to maximize the nodes. And it makes the calculations a bit quicker it seems.

[cunning lily]

Are there festive events besides FICSMAS?

[dim flint]

But you're only using one side of them

I use awesome sinks for excess

[sullen gull]

I had already deleted the containers 😛

[dim flint]

.<

Delete the splurgers too!

[sullen gull]

212 of them so far: #screenshots message

[dim flint]

Hell yea man.

[sullen gull]

Yeah, I will, eventually loll. Not hurting anything though lol.

[dim flint]

I just realized I need to upgrade my turbofuel plant to a rocket fuel plant before I'll have enough power to supply my NPP.

I only have 120 gens though.

[sullen gull]

Onlly thing that I need in the end if how many machines, what they're making, and the clock rates

[dim flint]

But it's making net 26GW today, and with rocketfuel they will be around 70GW.

[dim flint]

I'm OCD about modeler.

[sullen gull]

I found that going straight from diluted fuel is about the same as DF>TF>RF

[sullen gull]

This is what that whole outpost looks like lol. I was playing with different ideas of what I wanted to with the blue crater 😛
