I Im making batteries but I can use the watter right now how can I get rid of the water?

[lilac bear]

#screenshots message At some point it's just easier to rip it all out and start over. I'm halfway through, but you can see why in the remaining bit.

The remainder of a very improvised (yet effective) load balancer.

[lilac bear]

Batteries and water are unrelated. What is your question?

[zealous haven]

is there a hot key to sort into nearby chests

[tired cypress]

[glass pagoda]

Hello

[glass pagoda]

Alt recipes

I think

[zealous haven]

like i dont need to be in the chest i can just press a key and the stuff in my inventory goes into chests that has that stuff already in it

[glass pagoda]

No but you can open it and press store all or just use dementianol depots

[zealous haven]

whats the latter

[glass pagoda]

A dimensional depot is somthing you can unlock in the alien technology research tree in the mam where you can upload items to be stored in the cloud and you can take or deposit them at any time

[brave ruin]

[zealous haven]

howd i just tame a lizard doggo

[glass pagoda]

When you place berries

[zealous haven]

ohhh

mass deforestation, i stabbed it ran to it and ate it

got it

[glass pagoda]

😠

Gtg the doggo gang is pulling up

[zealous haven]

they should make an achievement for getting rid of all the foliage

or a badge

oh wtf i have no idea how ive tamed him then ive never seen this dudre

can i call it to me

[zealous haven]

i have no idea who hannah is

[leaden turret]

[sour wyvern]

For sure, because I much prefer the to do list being how it was before because now it looks smashed against the side of my monitor

[leaden turret]

not so much shunned as environmentally unfriendly unless you're on renewables & potentially expensive if the renewables aren't hooked up direct to your house.

also sorta weird in the sense that it can (but not always) lead to poor planning by virtue of "I don't have enough [x], I shall leave computer running instead of making more [x]"

[tardy fjord]

I <3 Parachute trimping

[leaden turret]

trimping?

[zealous haven]

when u parachute on a slope and persist the parachute on the ground

very fast

[teal geyser]

I never thought about the 2nd thing that hard lol

[viscid rune]

why in all that is sane is it called trimping?

[zealous haven]

tf2

[zealous haven]

personally just leave it on while i go make a drink or something and come back with enough

[sullen gull]

www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Trimping

[leaden turret]

linking to the urban dictionary for a word ending in "ing" is a recipe for disaster

[zealous haven]

its when you trimp but ing

[sullen gull]

Lol, while that is normally true, this one was "safe" 🤣

[leaden turret]

so we old people just call it going uphill both ways

#screenshots message @tacit ocean Just bring your power production up 🙂

[tacit ocean]

hit more>copy>copy message link to link to your posts in #screenshots just wanted to spread the knowledge

[tacit ocean]

yes that is in the works but i have a "mega factory" thats just shooting the max. coms. up without being useful

i'm gonna get another 32 coal generators on to boost that number up

[lilac bear]

That's a good start. Once you have more than a handful of coal generators up, you'll be really operational.

[tardy fjord]

yeah im just doing a bit of exploring first then ima set up coal

[tacit ocean]

try not to use the power slugs until you can double your production

[lilac bear]

That's one route. I'm going nuclear.

(Yes, coal is sooo much easier)

[tacit ocean]

yeah i just haven't gotten that far yet i just unlocked the fuel generators

[zealous haven]

bio fuel.

[unkempt blade]

just make sure you're using lots of screws so your stuff doesn't fall apart

[tacit ocean]

then it's a good thing i got that alternate iron ingot to screw

[unkempt blade]

definitely, cast screws is a great recipe

[zealous haven]

why slug purped up

[teal geyser]

Purped up?!

[unkempt blade]

because it looks good on a conveyor carousel around your hub

[zealous haven]

he on that lean son

[lilac bear]

accidentally sinks jetpack, immediately makes 4 new ones to avoid getting without

[native tapir]

This is true

[sullen gull]

I just usually go find Johnny and take his 🙂

[zealous haven]

i managed to trimp my way off the side of the map from the pruple slug that you needed jetpack for

[unkempt blade]

that's a lot of searching when I don't already have a jetpack

[sullen gull]

Shhhh... the game is Survival! 😏

[tacit ocean]

hey quick question are founations 1mx1m? trying to place something 4m apart

[sullen gull]

They are 8mx8m and vary in thickness (1m,2m,4m)

[lilac bear]

Most days I use the hoverpack anyway 🙂

[tacit ocean]

thank you. I am trying to build an accelerator for my hypertube line

[lilac bear]

Look at how thick a 4m foundation is. There's no way a foundation would be 1x1.

A 4m foundation is still less thick than it's wide.

[sullen gull]

One nudge = 1m, a CTRL nudge is .5m

[tacit ocean]

yeah but why second guess myself when i can ask the professionals

ahhh very cool

[lilac bear]

#screenshots message Is that an exact science? I just winged it.

[sullen gull]

You can space them much closer.

[tacit ocean]

well i never even tried to build one before so i went to the wiki to look it up

[tidal musk]

Ok.. I've been fighting with this for about half an hour (longer really).. I'm using an actual truck for the first time, and I can't seem to get it to load/unload on demand (manually).. I've gotten it to work a total of 2 times (1 load, 1 unload different station) but beyond that it doesn't work. I have the "F to load cargo into truck" on the hud..but no matter how many times I hit F it doesn't respond. There is space in the truck, there is material in the depot. Is it a position or direction thing? (And yes, both are powered. they'll transfer coal just being in range)

[unkempt blade]

so did everyone get several more copies of satisfactory for xmas?

[unkempt blade]

I think it only uses the station when the route is running automatically

[lilac bear]

Well, yea, but you want some space to still walk between them when you don't want full power right? Unless you go the hypertube loop route, which I haven't tried yet.

[lilac bear]

Ofc not, why would we?

[unkempt blade]

you need more copies so you can force some on your friends

[sullen gull]

I mean, sure, that is one way to look at it. Normally I just use one that will get me to about half way, and use the parachute and/or jetpack to control the rest of the travel.

[lilac bear]

I'd have to download some first.

[sullen gull]

And then "box it in" so i don't run by and accidently get sucked in 🤣

[tidal musk]

The two times it worked were not running a route. Also, that would imply they work differently than trains which can be done on demand?

[lilac bear]

My brother in law recently asked me if I had heard about a game called Satisfactory. Mate, I've been playing this game years before you heard about it.

[unkempt blade]

go make some friends before you get too addicted to satisfactory!

[tall lantern]

"no but it sounds fun, we should get it and play together"

[lilac bear]

Friends are overrated. I got too many colleagues I can't remember the name of already.

[sullen gull]

Naaah, missed oppurtunity. You say "Oh wow, no, never heard of it!" and then let them tell you all about it from their perceptions. Much more enjoayable that way imo.

[teal geyser]

Sounds evil

[sudden flint]

how much per minute of a given resource should you make?

[teal geyser]

Yes

[lilac bear]

Enough. And not a single one more.

Unless vanity project.

[tall lantern]

as much as you think you need at this point. Need more later? Make more then.

[sullen gull]

No, not at all. I find it much more enjoyable to hear how someone else perceives something and listen to them explain it.

[tidal musk]

Yep.. sinks are useless. 🙂

[sullen gull]

All of it 😏

[tall lantern]

trying to predict future requirements is a fool's errand, doubly so when everybody has their own playstyle and preferences

[lilac bear]

Sinks are for when I can't be bothered to load balance a system to 100% when the nodes allow me to feed 120% instead.

[sudden flint]

like, is 15 beams per minute enough? how many pipes should I get??? These alt recipies are more resource efficient, but how many pipes should I set aside for pipe's sake?

[tall lantern]

if you find you're running out, then you should consider making more

[unkempt blade]

I'm all knowing and all powerful thanks to my overreliance on factory carts so I can actually predict the future

[sullen gull]

Unless you using something like modeler and plan out a whole build making however many Space Elevator parts one wants 🙂

[tall lantern]

then that's not prediction

that is "I have mapped out my entire game plan"

[lilac bear]

15 beams is plenty when you just unlocked them. You'll want a few more when you start using them for mk 3 belts and have access to a dimensional depot. But at that point you'll likely be at encased steel anyway so the normal steel beams don't matter.

[tidal musk]

Ok... Just made it work again... don't know what I did though.

[lilac bear]

It's really all about how you want to play and in what order whether parts are relevant in large quantities or not.

[unkempt blade]

you should use a beautiful mind wall like a real pioneer would

[sudden flint]

so, steel ingots only get made into beams or pipes, right? there's nothing else made of pure steel?

[lilac bear]

I have multiple steel pipe factories because there's various items requiring them.

[sullen gull]

No,. There are other alts that can use steel ingots to make other items.

You can also eliminate steel ingots entirely if you wanted.

[tall lantern]

a very rough rule of thumb for build gun/personal use stuff is that one machine's worth is probably sufficient for most things (though some of the more core materials like concrete may need more, and bursty building might need more of a buffer).
For total use if you're planning to siphon from those factories for other production lines, that's where you'd need a whole future plan in place to have an answer. (and that's not the recommended building strategy anyway, but each to their own)

[lilac bear]

If you stick to normal recipes, yes. With alternate recipes, steel ingots can be used for a lot more.

[tall lantern]

I see someone's having fun with the link automod

[unkempt blade]

the key to success in satisfactory is aluminum ingots => steel beams => screws

[lilac bear]

Like canisters, iron plates and iron rods.

[lilac bear]

Undocumented 'features' are the bane of my existence.

[sullen gull]

Link automod?

[tall lantern]

most links get autodeleted

only those to a few sanctioned domains are allowed

[sudden flint]

okay. so I'll just take my 270 belt of ingots to make pipes, and then use the other 135 for beams. then whatever else needs pipes later in the line I'll split off to use for them

[sullen gull]

OOhh .. in the server

Lol, was thinking in the game 🤣

[leaden turret]

what site were you trying to link to ?

[lilac bear]

Note that steel beams are used a lot for encased industrial beams, so eventually you'll want a few steel beams near a concrete factory.

[sullen gull]

Me? I wasn't

[lilac bear]

And for some reason the satisfactory fandom is not one of them.

[unkempt blade]

🍿 let's see if they try to tell you in the form of a url

[tall lantern]

good

if you want to link a wiki, link the correct one

[sullen gull]

Because fandom should not be used.

[sudden flint]

wiki.gg is the only one that's good here

[leaden turret]

because it's an abandoned trashfire

[tall lantern]

you forgot ad-laden

[lilac bear]

sigh remind me, what's the correct one?

[sudden flint]

but no shame to you for not knowing!

[raven axle]

Official Satisfactory Wiki

This is the totally awesome community driven wiki for Satisfactory!! Come on in and check it out!
<3 @leaden turret

[lilac bear]

uBlock origin, what ads?

[tall lantern]

lol true

but yeah, proper one's https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/

[unkempt blade]

I'm pretty sure the trashfire burned itself out and they built a pig farm on top of it

[lilac bear]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Steel_Ingot#Usage

🥳

[leaden turret]

comparing fandom to a pig farm is an insult to pigs

[sullen gull]

Also, you can press O (on pc) and look up an item to see all the recipes used to make the item or that the item is used in,

[tall lantern]

only if you've actually unlocked those recipes though

[unkempt blade]

I was thinking more of the content of the farm and the smell

[leaden turret]

I was thinking fandom is worse than a pig farm

[sullen gull]

It will still show a question mark telling the pioneer that they are missing something

[tall lantern]

indeed, it doesn't show the actual recipe until unlocked

[sullen gull]

Be it through a milestone, research, for drive scan.

[lilac bear]

Indeed

[leaden turret]

more akin to a british water treatment plant dumping untreated sewage into water ways

[sullen gull]

I'm aware, never said it did 😛

[tall lantern]

but you did 😛

[lilac bear]

#screenshots message That won't tell you much if you haven't selected your recipes in your scanned hard drives yet 😛

[unkempt blade]

so anyway I gave satisfactory to 12 different people this xmas and they all just look confused

[sullen gull]

Just didn't specify that it did yet. That was going to be my next sentance, but you beat me to it 😉

[hot burrow]

I need help deciding somthing can anyone help me?

[tall lantern]

sadly that's just normal these days

[lilac bear]

Did you forget to give them the primer?

[lilac bear]

We won't know until you tell us what you're struggling with.

[unkempt blade]

nah I just told them it was time to throw their life away and get into logistics games

or is that the primer?

[hot burrow]

smartass

[tall lantern]

"don't ask to ask" and all that, just wastes time. Go straight for the question

[hot burrow]

it would be inpolite to not request assitance

[lilac bear]

Alright, I'll ignore you then 🙂

[unkempt blade]

only if you ask the question in the form of a limerick

[tall lantern]

not really, as long as the actual question's phrased in a reasonable way

[hot burrow]

okay im asking ai yall suck

[sullen gull]

Always interesting when people can't just say "Sure, what's the issue?" smh

[tall lantern]

"oi you golfers why's my coal plant not workin'"

[unkempt blade]

if I get an AI poem instead of your original work I'm not answering

[hot burrow]

i wouldn't want an answer from the likes of you anyways

[leaden turret]

asking ai will be less helpful

[hot burrow]

it was a joke

[sullen gull]

Soooooooo, What was the issue anyhow?

[hot burrow]

let me type damn

[lilac bear]

Perhaps this server is not the right place for you.

[hot burrow]

perhaps you are incapable of simple manners

rhymes in certain dialects

[stone moth]

Is it possible to Have it so that whenever i place down a building its color is already applied

[tall lantern]

but yeah seriously, if you've got a question, it's much preferred to just ask the question straight off

[sudden flint]

yup

[sullen gull]

If you make it in a blueprint, yes.

[unkempt blade]

forcing slant rhymes is a limerick best practice so you did great

[sudden flint]

and not?

[stone moth]

What if you dont have blueprints

[sullen gull]

Or, you can change the ficsit swatch. ALSO, you can right click on any swatch and set it to be the default for different things.

[tall lantern]

you can also change your default swatch, I think? I never did much with the customiser

[sullen gull]

But, know that when doing the latter, if you change that swatch later, everything that used that swatch will change as well.

[hot burrow]

I got 2 recipies from harddrive... however both recipies i've gotten have extream potential,

Recipe 1
reinforced plate with 3 iron plates and 1 rubber ( i can use this for alot of things and im in desperante need of cheaper reinforced and faster plates.

Recipe 2
Alt heavy crude oil resude, that give me 4 heavy oil and 2 poly for every 3 oil which i can use in many things, like better rubber, fuel and etc etc

I am currently working on turbo fuel plant and i just need the best for my usecase, im new to the game so i don't really know what to pick

sory it took a bit i was looking at smth

[lilac bear]

If the new guys are more interested in offending people than getting help, there's no reason for me to stick around.

[tall lantern]

HOR's a more generally useful one out of those IMO

[lilac bear]

Cya.

[sullen gull]

HOR

[tall lantern]

alt choice is always a subjective thing mind

[unkempt blade]

reroll and try again to hit cast screws instead

[tall lantern]

and of course, you can get every alt anyway

[hot burrow]

i already have cast screw, and i dont have reoll

[unkempt blade]

in that case pick HOR

[hot burrow]

okay, thank you both

very appreciated <3

[sullen gull]

out of those two, I would say HOR. Especially since working on a TF plant

[unkempt blade]

if you're working on turbofuel it's a great time to get that recipe

[tall lantern]

main thing with HOR is it's part of a set of recipes that gets you muuuuch improved oil -> fuel/plastic/rubber output (at the cost of complexity and power, since there's always tradeoffs)

personally I don't think I've ever used that RIP one since adding rubber to something so otherwise simple isn't a great deal in my books. But, if you're in a scenario where you do already have rubber around, then it's certainly a valid option

[sullen gull]

I'll never not use Bolted Iron plate 🙂

[tall lantern]

I mostly just use the default

[sudden flint]

I do the fancy pants super efficient stitched plates, for some reason...

[sullen gull]

I'm all about using the least amount of machines. So, an output of 15 from a single machine (or 37.5 @250) is win for me.

[sudden flint]

10/minute is PLENTY

[dense violet]

get which ever you think you'll be using next or reroll

they are all useful and you're never locked out of recipes, you can have them all

[tall lantern]

all alts have their place, learning to evaluate 'em for your own use is a good skill to learn as you go

[hot burrow]

is smart plating even usfull after phase 2

or used

[sullen gull]

It's all dependant on the pioneer and what they like to use.

[tall lantern]

used as a sub-part of later spelevator stuff

[hot burrow]

oh

[tall lantern]

a running theme of most spelevator crafts

[hot burrow]

so i should've built a factory for that instead of manually feed 2 assemblers for 3 hours 😭😭

[tall lantern]

(except the one outlier that is used in non-spelevator crafts)

[sullen gull]

Yeah, would be best to automate those. And most all the things really.

[tall lantern]

it's not uncommon to do it like that lol, though I'd at least suggest putting some storage containers there instead of constantly hand-feeding 😛

[full birch]

When you cut down trees, do they respawn over time or do they stop growing forever?

[hot burrow]

you won't need biomass for long

[sullen gull]

Goes quick when you use bluerpints 🙂 #design-and-architecture message

[tall lantern]

but if you like how the world looks, be careful where you chop

[hot burrow]

how do you hover with a jetpack?

[tall lantern]

you don't

[hot burrow]

or is that not possible

[tall lantern]

hoverpack's its own thing

[sullen gull]

feather the spacebar.

Or whatever the jump key is.

[tall lantern]

boingboingboingboing

[sullen gull]

Liquid biofuel and Ionized (a late late game fuel) are the two "better" fuels and give the best burn times.

[hot burrow]

i just have the regular fuel... is that alr?

[ivory condor]

sure nothing wrong with that for jetpack fuel

[sullen gull]

Personally I will always use Liquid bio over all others. Maybe rocket fuel if I need to get up high quick.

[sullen gull]

Except that it's got crap acceleration and lasts for two seconds.

[ocean frost]

Make a little biofuel and try it

[ivory condor]

it just wont have the same bonuses as other fuel types, that was one thing that was added with 1.0

[tall lantern]

yeah I'm a big user of LBF, tiny lil crafting setup into a depot, feed with any excess wood/leaves you chop to make room for factories, easy good jetpack fuel

[hot burrow]

i chopped down the entire forest in the desert for my early coal, because i got charcoal recipie lmao

[ivory condor]

wow somebody actually used the charcoal recipe, amazing

[hot burrow]

i was lazy to pipe coal in (there was 2 pure nodes 500m away)

[sullen gull]

500m is NOT that far

[hot burrow]

youll be amazed about how far ill go to not do somthing

[sullen gull]

Given the conversation thus far, not as amazed as you think 😉

[hot burrow]

have you heared of the power of yet?

[sullen gull]

That feels like something that someone who just knocked on my door would ask 🤔

[hot burrow]

let that sink in

[sullen gull]

Nah, i'm good. Appreciate it though 👍

[hot burrow]

loll

[zealous haven]

are hard drives progressive or are they unique

[tall lantern]

they'll offer recipes based on what you've unlocked so far milestone/MAM-wise

the recipes will be random out of that available pool

[upper crypt]

A few you can't even use yet too, like pure recipes for refineries in Phase 2

[tall lantern]

hah, generally they are tied to what you have available, those ones were an oversight I guess

[zealous haven]

shucks

The cliffs in the very north are the place to go for that. It’s crazy looking at night how many there are

[unkempt blade]

add them to the slug carousel!

[zealous haven]

i see alot of them that i cant get bc im on milestone 0

[wicked nacelle]

You don’t really need shards your belts are so slow anyhow then

[unkempt blade]

ok in that case you should play the game for a bit and worry about slugs later 😆

[zealous haven]

i just wanted to explore and now ive got a sense of existential dread

[unkempt blade]

because you ate too many bacon mushrooms?

[zealous haven]

bc the map is fucking huge

[wicked nacelle]

You unlock a lot of tools to make exploration easier. Just make sure you’re working through the MAM

[wicked nacelle]

You get tools to deal with that too. The world isn’t that big and you can get anywhere in 30 seconds later on. And before that everything you need will be nearby

[zealous haven]

ill get my sam miner up first

how does one mine surface to air missles?

i love cascadia :3

[peak wasp]

guys look in #design-and-architecture

[unkempt blade]

needs more color and vehicles

[zealous haven]

im new bro

[peak wasp]

what do you reccomened with colour

[zealous haven]

imbedfail

[hot burrow]

i saw that

[zealous haven]

sawwaht

[unkempt blade]

get really wild with it #screenshots message

[tacit ocean]

oops accidently made my hyper loop too fast and i couldn't leave the loop

[peak wasp]

uhm

[hot burrow]

turns out, if you open an invintory thing in the air while using the jetpack, it confuses the game and refuels your jetpack

i will continue testing....

[zealous haven]

imagine having a jetback and not force fucking the wall until it gives in

[unkempt blade]

are you looking for something a little more conservative and restrained like #screenshots message ?

[hot burrow]

mmpgh

[zealous haven]

okay bro xd

[peak wasp]

im trying to make it very minimalistic and very industrial look

like oil rigs type vibe build

[hot burrow]

they should make satisfactory world infinite, and make a server

[zealous haven]

i was shoving myself and my massive chainsaw into wall bc i couldnt get a tree and i aint taking that until it detected a bush and i could area excavate it

[unkempt blade]

ahh some minimalist rainbow detailing like #screenshots message

[peak wasp]

No colour

[unkempt blade]

oh ok 🙁

[hot burrow]

make everything the default color

[unkempt blade]

but you're going to use more vehicles at least?

[peak wasp]

yeah sure i will but not sure if ill go for vehicles or trains

im good at curving roads

[unkempt blade]

why not both?

[peak wasp]

never tried tbh

[zealous haven]

they should add wood chucks that you can tame to make an army that build dams and hate on spiders

[north bough]

Random odd question, here’s the context:
A friend bought me sfy a while ago, but I had an old computer and couldn’t run it. I now have a computer that can run it.

Should I play satisfactory now, or wait until he’s online (whenever that may be)?

[unkempt blade]

you should wait for your friend which will give you time to meal prep a few days of food + get your poop bucket ready for a gaming binge

[north bough]

I can get why you have that pfp now

[zealous haven]

from peak to absolute hot garbage

as in me

[unkempt blade]

it's because I used it to inspire my masterpiece #screenshots message

[north bough]

Imma guess I have no gif perms here

[unkempt blade]

gifs haven't been cool since myspace so I stick to the basic icons

[zealous haven]

youre right theyve been cooler

[proper cradle]

really with there was a way to bypass all of the warnins when you start up the game... add space to skip or something..

[unkempt blade]

Warning: You're about to be warned about getting ingame warnings!

[sullen gull]

You on console or PC?

[zealous haven]

what warnings lol

[hot burrow]

i hate this game, im never playing it again

[zealous haven]

joi

[hot burrow]

well... project wingman has alot of that kind of art about a character whom you can only hear, she doesn't even have a body

[tranquil zinc]

so trying to understand the game, I am in constructor for concrete, why does it say 45 limestone per minute (input) and 15 concrete per minute output. Specifically the input one, cause limestone node is 30 per minute

Hopefully it made sense my question, can't post screenshot unfortunately

[hot burrow]

so

[zealous haven]

theres a screenshots channele

[hot burrow]

to make concreate its 3-1

[cyan prism]

A lot of the game is managing the inputs and outputs

So you may have to have different numbers of constructors, use splitters, over or under clock, etc

[hot burrow]

and it makes 15 a minute , so 15 * 3 is 45

[tranquil zinc]

yes, I am trying to understand the UI. Cause limestone drill is 30 per minute. Which is connected to constructor, but then the input says 45 per minute limestone coming in

[hot burrow]

the drill can only mine 30 at base speed, on impure node

but the constructer requieres 45 to operate at max effciency

[cyan prism]

Oh
The constructor shows what it can handle, not what's actually coming in

[tranquil zinc]

limestone is normal so 30

[hot burrow]

oh\

just overclock it to 45

like 150%

[zealous haven]

clock over

[tranquil zinc]

dunno how to overclock, have not unlocked it yet I suppose

[ripe nest]

i have a recommendation/suggestion for an addition to a future update. we have wall mounted power adapters, but what would be useful for multilevel is small floor style ones (take the wall ones, rotate them 90 degrees, add to awesome show, profit)

[hot burrow]

just dont worry about it

dont worry about peak effciency at phase 1

[hot burrow]

the humble awesome shop:

[zealous haven]

or just add an achievement for getting rid off every tree

[hot burrow]

how do you know thats not already a thing

[zealous haven]

i have

[tranquil zinc]

But here is the thing, 30 limestone normal right. I have it connected to 2 constructors making 15 concrete per minute. It should not be idle at any moment right? Unless distance is also computed?

[teal geyser]

The Lorax would like a word

[hot burrow]

no

[zealous haven]

fuck the lorax, fuck hannah

[tranquil zinc]

not trying to be efficient at the start, just trying to understand the basics before I progress

[hot burrow]

so 2 construters need 90 limestone a minute

so unless you make more then 45

[zealous haven]

give me my flex

[hot burrow]

just use 1 constructer

[tranquil zinc]

what? its 15 concrete per minute though?

[hot burrow]

thats the output

IF 45 is being inputed

if i put 30 in it would make like 10 or somthing idk

[teal geyser]

Default recipe for concrete at 100% clock speed is 45 limestone/min = 15 concrete/min

@tranquil zinc How much limestone is being produced per minute?

[hot burrow]

how would he know that

[tranquil zinc]

I see, I was using 30 limestone per minute as input because that is what the driller does.

[teal geyser]

Oh, ok. Who is being helped here?

[teal geyser]

The Miner* is producing 30 limestone/min?

[hot burrow]

when it says x input you need to fulfil that inorder to get y output

[tranquil zinc]

yes, normal node

[tranquil zinc]

got it. I see where I made the mistake in computing

[unborn moss]

Mine nodes have 3 levels. 30 per minute is an impure node, 60 is normal, & 120 is pure. (For Mk1 miners)

[zealous haven]

2+2=4/2=2

/min

[tranquil zinc]

oh my bad, its 30 (impure). I was thinking of my copper node

thanks, I think I got it now

[zealous haven]

it feels so nice getting forcefully deconstructed into your subatomic components doesnt it

[sick falcon]

press control to snap stuff, force conveyors and pipes to go straight, and - most importantly - snap foundations to the world grid

also why are there so many league players here

[teal geyser]

World grid mentioned. All the world grid deniers are going to descend on you now. (Not me though. I love world grid)

[sick falcon]

i will die for my country world grid

We don't need headlift for gas, right?

#screenshots message what does fracking satellite mean

[sullen gull]

Means you need to place a resource well pressurizer and power it first .

[sick falcon]

the best fuel recipe is hor alternate -> diluted fuel right

[sullen gull]

Or diluted packaged, but yes. Most output.

[vague burrow]

Are they the same amount, or is packaged worse?

[ocean frost]

Same output

[nova ridge]

How do you snap to world grid

[sick falcon]

hold control while placing a foundation

Shift or CTR with a foundation

place it away from other buildings or it will snap to those instead

[unique pewter]

Ello

And don't use the 1M foundation

[sick falcon]

maybe i dont need 6400 fuel a minute

[unique pewter]

When I first start out, as a beginner, do I need to worry about being neat or not until later

[sick falcon]

you never need to worry about being neat

if you dont want to

but whatever you build early is going to get torn down eventually so probably not

[unique pewter]

I see all these people with huge cool factories n stuff and was wondering

[sick falcon]

check out the first image on the satisfactory steam page

[unique pewter]

Oh great heavens

Just like me fr

Oh what are those massive centeral spiral things I see people build

It looks like a tornado of belts or sum

[hexed phoenix]

I'm happy we have degenerated like Lets Game It Out - Who actually breaks shit, which can be turned into optimization from Devs, and provide us all with a better game.. 👍

Think its called the Tornado yeah.. Don't ask why.. The answer is usually.. Why not :D

[unique pewter]

I was wondering is it just for silly or am I going to have to do that or similar later on for something

[pearl sparrow]

the conveyor tornado is entirely for silly

[hexed phoenix]

I wouldn't say one or the other :) The game is a sandbox game - so it depends how your sand castle should look like :D

[unique pewter]

Whatever makes my “pc” not explode ig

[pearl sparrow]

some sandcastles are silly and some are extremely optimized, both are completely fine but neither are required :))

[hexed phoenix]

But its NOT a requirement at all :D Its more a.. Piece of art :D

[unique pewter]

Oh cool you can slide jump on here :)

[hexed phoenix]

We can however, thank stuff like this Tornado - The devs got the savegame from the Auther of the Tornado - so they could optimize the game, and make sure stuff like that wouldn't crash the game :D

[unique pewter]

Nice

[pearl sparrow]

its not too useful in general gameplay but you can chain them together to build quite a bit of momentum

[unique pewter]

Ye speed

[pearl sparrow]

i have a truck highway and normally sprinting the truck is faster than me, if i chain slide jumps im like 2x faster than it lol

[unique pewter]

Oh so vehicles are slower than me if I slide jump?

[pearl sparrow]

not sure about all vehicles but the first one you unlock yes (after a few jumps in a row)

[sick falcon]

#screenshots message is there any way i can make the sloop take effect immediately, instead of after 1 production?

[teal geyser]

Why not?

[sick falcon]

they place slightly off on the z axis

[teal geyser]

Is that a bad thing though?

[sick falcon]

yea, they wont line up with other foundations placed on the world grid

[teal geyser]

I've never had that issue before I guess, and I've only ever used 1m foundations

[candid moon]

Hi, I really struggle to see the SAM nodes on my second save. I started in the sand areas, but neither the impure or normal is possible to see? Do I need to unlock something?

[sick falcon]

apparently its very very slight, like 20cm off

[teal geyser]

Struggle to see? What do you mean by that?

[latent meadow]

i struggling to see the bigger picture on this build lol i not sure how i gonna build around belts and make it look neat and clean 🙁

i feel like this game building is so complex

[gritty ridge]

If you think about it avatar vs the mining company is kinda like satisfactory

[candid moon]

I go to where they are supposed to be, but nah. Do I need to blow something up?

[hasty stump]

do you mean the dune desert? the closest impure node is ||in a cave behind explodable rock||, which may be why you didn't find it yet

[candid moon]

ait, thanks. I need to learn the detonator then. What about the normal one? Supposed to be even further in there

First time playing all solo, so no one is out there finding stuff to bring to my builder 😄

[vague burrow]

For gases, does the 600m^3 limit on Mk. 2 not apply?

[dense violet]

it's a fluid, it applies

[vague burrow]

Nitrogen Gas is a fluid?

[dense violet]

gasses are fluids

water is a fluid

liquids are fluids

[vague burrow]

Yes, I know liquids are fluids, ha ha

[marsh shard]

they need a pump aswell ?

[dense violet]

gasses don't need headlift

they also play very poorly with fluid buffers, especially don't use buffers on gasses

not that you should really be using them with liquids either

[vague burrow]

But nitrogen GAS is a fluid?

[dense violet]

all gasses are fluids

[native tapir]

https://tenor.com/view/ronburgundy-agree-disagree-ron-burgundy-gif-5109282

[vague burrow]

So they slosh and are affected by gravity?

[dense violet]

feel free to be factually incorrect. At best buffers will do nothing for liquids, at worst they'll screw the flow

[dense violet]

they slosh, but no, not gravity

[native tapir]

At best, they will buffer my liquids

[dense violet]

And that does nothing except at train platforms

[sick falcon]

is there no mk3 pipes

[hasty stump]

it's ||on a plateau on top of one of the tall mountains, no detonator needed to access it||, i can share a screenshot if you want

the bad news it that it's ||surrounded by uranium and guarded by a radioactive hog||

[candid moon]

Ty for help man! Hmm, I gotta re-think how much I need the SAM early on

perhaps the impure one is enough

[versed cosmos]

u can just set up a miner and constructor sending reanimated sam to a chain of containers and power it up with a biomass burner

leave and come back and youll have plenty

[cunning glade]

how the hell do u make packaged biofuel it doesnt show on tools

[versed cosmos]

solid biofuel and water

in a refinery

[cunning glade]

thats what i figured wack it doesnt show in tools

[versed cosmos]

ive been having problems with tools today in general

just really slow or needing to reload the page

[vague burrow]

For packaged biofuel, I'd manually load the machines. You get a metric ton of it pretty easily.

[versed cosmos]

yeah i wouldn't set up a whole automated thing

just hand craft some packages to feed it

[vague burrow]

It can't be automated because you can't automate biofuel, so you might as well manually dump plastic in there to make the containers.

[versed cosmos]

yeah

[narrow canyon]

You also have to enable the recipes

[vague burrow]

Oh, I do a setup with the constructors, refinery, packager, etc. I just manually load the setup with biofuel and plastic.

[versed cosmos]

ugh i just got iron pipe and steel rotor in the same hard drive

[vague burrow]

That's rough. Both are needed for a full-iron motor factory.

[versed cosmos]

yeah thats what i do lol

[vague burrow]

Iron Wire, Iron Pipe, and Steel Rotor are key alts, IMHO. It just makes motor production/blueprints so easy.

[versed cosmos]

picked iron pipe and now have to scan another drive

[vague burrow]

Are there enough harddrives on the map to learn all the alt recipes?

[narrow canyon]

Yes

[versed cosmos]

yes

you end up with a few extra drives i think

[narrow canyon]

You will end up with extra drives

[versed cosmos]

would be cool if we could feed one to the awesome sink to get a funny line from ada

[vague burrow]

Looks like I got a few more HDDs to find then.

I didn't realize trains didn't pickup the entire platform's inventory. lame.

[versed cosmos]

They will if they have space

[zealous hawk]

Anyone elses Christmas spent by playing Satisfactory together till midnight? Me and my boyfriend can't get enough.

[cerulean raptor]

I bought it yesterday, and I've been addicted ever since xd

[gritty ridge]

can someone help with my coal generators for some reason water isn't pumping into the last 2 generators

[zealous hawk]

Ohh I am definitely still a newbie too! And finally have my first kind of basic first factory setup. Happy there are more like us on xmas 😂

[hasty stump]

more than enough to get a bunch of dimensional depots up and running
and after you find one node then you can scan for others - some of the the ones in the other biomes aren't guarded as heavily, and you can always set up a miner and a constructor or two to upload reanimated sam to the cloud if you don't feel like belting it all the way home

[cerulean raptor]

Yeah same, I just started working with foundations, and its beginning to look a bit tidy, instead of just spaghetti 😂

[gritty ridge]

someone please help with my coal generators bro idek why the middle 4 generators aren't getting water

[hasty stump]

if you want to minimize pain just feed each water extractor's output directly to two coal generators, instead of trying to set up a "pipe manifold" or whatever

[gritty ridge]

i got 8 coal generators and 3 water pumps

[golden finch]

Got it split up so the water comes in between the 2 in the middle and on the outsides?

Pipes can only move 300l/m so u gotta have it in a way (if ur using manifold) that it reaches the first 3 from the left than the middle ones from the middle and the last 3 from the right

That way the pipes can actually handle the water flow

And than also check if it’s not to steep or so and y need a pump

[hasty stump]

yep the pipe throughput limitation is why i suggested just doing one extractor to two generators, you can always underclock the extractors after the pipes are full, so you aren't wasting the extra bit of power

[dense violet]

If they have enough throughput they do

[vague burrow]

Throughput?

[versed cosmos]

How many items you're moving per minute

[dense violet]

If you’re putting say 600 ppm on the platform and the trip time can accommodate 600 pm you’ll never fill up your platform and it’ll take everything

The delivery point also needs to consume that 600ppm though otherwise it’ll back up ofc

[gritty ridge]

i have the god pipe wiring now

[rugged shard]

I just unlocked coal generators and why everyone recommending to specifically get 8 generators and 3 water pumps

[dense violet]

it's a convenient layout
1xmk2 belt
3x water extractors

[dense violet]

!wikisearch CG

[raven axle]

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

[dense violet]

convenient layouts for beginners and experts alike

you also want to keep fluid systems in their own little sections, not interlinked with others

[versed cosmos]

also the numbers work out nice for the amount of coal you need

8 generators will take 120 coal/min

which is what your highest level belt can handle right now

[rugged shard]

How do I expand in future If I want more generators?

[dense violet]

make more groups of 8

[versed cosmos]

build another block of 8 generators

[dense violet]

"you also want to keep fluid systems in their own little sections, not interlinked with others"

[rugged shard]

and 3 water pumps right

[versed cosmos]

yes

[rugged shard]

Oh ok

[dense violet]

you can split a mk3 belt with 240 coal into two groups of 8, but it's more important to keep the pipes separate

[dense violet]

it's less important for coal gens as they can deal with more pipe bullshit than later systems, but it's a good habit to have at the start

[versed cosmos]

also your pipes can only handle 300 water/min but your 8 coal generators will need 360 water/min in total so you need to pipe it in a way that no individual section of pipe is handling more than 300 water/min

[rugged shard]

I see today gonna be alot of thinking about piping, ty both

[versed cosmos]

👍

[rugged shard]

Wai theres also 3 types of coal

[versed cosmos]

You want regular coal

Compacted coal is more efficient but uses sulfur, a pretty scarce resource, and is mostly intended for later production lines

[rugged shard]

I have sulfur spot not very far from me

[zealous urchin]

sulfur is a trash resource

[versed cosmos]

If you can then you can belt it over

[zealous urchin]

use it as much as u want

[versed cosmos]

Nothing else to use it for right now so feel free to use it for compacted coal

[rugged shard]

Does it like change anything when you use compacted coal? Like layout, amount of coal gens needed... Water extractions.. Etc etc

[versed cosmos]

You'll be able to feed more coal generators

Compacted coal is about twice as powerful as regular coal

[rugged shard]

Oh, how much gens and how much water extractions for it needed?

[versed cosmos]

That depends on a lot of factors

[rugged shard]

[versed cosmos]

You really want to learn how to do this yourself now while it's still pretty simple

Anyway, I'd either under or overclock your generators a bit to make the burn rate an easier number to work with. At the regular clockspeed compacted coal burns at 7.143/minute and that's a difficult number to work with. I'd probably overclock to burn 7.5/min personally.

Could also do 10/min. That'll still only take 1 shard and be a nice number to work with.

[rugged shard]

I think I'll just start whit normal coal first to understand how it works

[versed cosmos]

That's a good move

Also, build near your water. It's much easier to move your coal to your water than your water to your coal.

[rugged shard]

Okay🔥

[vague osprey]

Honest question, if you have a steady supply of fuel, why would anyone use trains over drones?

[mortal ginkgo]

A Train Freight can carry 2400/min of item each. Now try that with drones BIG DOG!

[vague osprey]

More drones?

[pearl sparrow]

wouldnt that depend on track length?

[zealous urchin]

at some point the fuel drain from sheer drone volume will heavily outweight the silly couple of MWs from trains

[pearl sparrow]

or is that just upper limit

[mortal ginkgo]

Yeah now you need to have space for them, calculate their landing and rise animation time, time you need to assign each drone port to port and that is for ... 2400/min? How many times you think you can do that BIG DOG?!

Assuming you have enough fuel to begin with. And Drones really have smol amount of carriage capacity.

They carry as much as I do irl and that says A LOT big dog!

[zealous urchin]

@mortal ginkgo u failed the ragebait check

😔

[mortal ginkgo]

Its not a ragebait because he isn't saying "why use belts instead of trains lol"

get your facts straight BIG DOG!

[zealous urchin]

i have no character reference for this context

[pearl sparrow]

trucks > trains

[mortal ginkgo]

BIG DAWWWWWWGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!

😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭

He destroyed the entire satisfactory community. It won't be same ever again!

[zealous urchin]

the young prodigy who called himself after entire pizza chain demolished sati community at the age of 16

[mortal ginkgo]

Saddest Elden Ring lore confirmed RIGHT ABOVE

😭 😭 😭

[zealous urchin]

bro pulled off itachi on us

[pearl sparrow]

20 mk.1 belts > 1 mk.6 belt

[mortal ginkgo]

ok this big dog needs to touch grass F A S T

[pearl sparrow]

ficsmas tree branch > grass

[zealous urchin]

can you call him out on being wrong tho?

i dont think u can

without cappin

[pearl sparrow]

i am the single most correct satisfactory player in history

[mortal ginkgo]

What if his right is wrong for me?

What if my wrong is right for him?

Who decides who gets the upper hand on whats wrong and right?

Billions of humans have the exact right to dictate whats wrong or right, and none has the upper hand.

Keep that in mind B I G D O G!

[vague osprey]

I mean a stack of plutonium fuel rods powers a drone port for like a year straight so fuel isn’t really a big issue

[mortal ginkgo]

Big Dog, you go ahead. Drone-Only run. Go for it!

[pearl sparrow]

i cant tell if i love or hate this use of big dog

[primal obsidian]

my train with no signals on track is just looping in circles using overpass how do i fix

[zealous urchin]

i swear mom its not a phase

[zealous urchin]

his right = x
ur wrong = y
x = y
y = x

u created mathematical axiom or logical equilibrium
ur minds are one

[mortal ginkgo]

I see... Well I go to work now and need to process this information.

[pearl sparrow]

we shall combine the power of 20 mk.1 belts and trains

[zealous urchin]

and they shall fight only uranium powered drones

their battle will be legendary

[gritty ridge]

guys i have a mk.2 miner on a pure coal vein but its somehow still not enough for my coal generators

i split it to fuel my steel farm as well'

[pearl sparrow]

how much coal to how many gens?

[gritty ridge]

240 coal

[pearl sparrow]

after the split

[gritty ridge]

8 gens but it gets split in half

120

[pearl sparrow]

ok so yeah it should work then

maybe some more belts in the manifold need to be mk.2?

assuming ur even using one

[gritty ridge]

its all mk2

[pearl sparrow]

strange

are any gens off/not hooked up to power grid for some reason

or is the manifold still catching up maybe

[gritty ridge]

idk its been doing this for a while

im just going to get all upgraded to mk3

[pearl sparrow]

iirc at full manifold every machine besides the last 2 should have a full stack

not taking under/overclocking into account

[sterile blade]

Make sure of where the issue is: where is the Coal lacking and where is it piling up (if anywhere)?
If it's piling up somewhere, you know there's an issue in the logistics connecting producer to consumer.
If it's not piling up anywhere but things are starving, you're not producing enough

[gritty ridge]

seems like i figured it out

its the mk.2 miner producing too much for the conveyers to handle so theres a huge amount of coal just stuck in the generator

[sterile blade]

If the miner doesn't have coal piled up while some Generators do, that doesn't quite hold up ^^
The belt from miner to generators seems to mostly work, but then there should be some issue in the beltwork between the generators themselves

[gritty ridge]

the miner is completely full but the generators (like the last 4) aren't

[pearl sparrow]

i believe theyre referring to the conveyor from miner to splitter

[sterile blade]

Then I refer to my prior message: issue in beltwork between producer and consumer.
There's plenty of ways to troubleshoot that, but it's hard to tell clearly without screenshots ^^

[gritty ridge]

yea i think so ill check it out

[sterile blade]

BTW, #1038092680493801533 makes things easier, especially on the picture side

Or #math-and-meta, at preference

[plucky plank]

how do i rename my drones

[sterile blade]

Iirc, you can only rename Droneports, not the Drones themselves

[plucky plank]

its weird because i had FMF as my drone port n ame and the drone was named to Drone: FMF - on my drone port called RCU the drone is just called 'drone'

[sterile blade]

Did you happen to place the drone before renaming one and after renaming the other (or the other way around), by chance?

[plucky plank]

nope, both ports were named before placing the drone

[sterile blade]

Then I can only suggest looking into the QA site, or making a #1038092680493801533 post about it... It sounds quite weird

[zealous urchin]

ur sushi name makes me crave spagheti

[gritty ridge]

how the fuck do i move this fuckass bird penguin thing

[teal crater]

Question is there any good way to produce loads of Wonder Stars?

I wanna automate their production better so I can grind more awesome shop tickets

Yeah but my current operation is not great

To say the least and before I go off designing something on my own i wanna know if there’s something far superior

Okay so it basically just everyone for themselves

So for the purposes of what I’m looking for

It’s just not worth it?

Okay fair enough

[golden finch]

So basically tame 500 doggos

[vague burrow]

No blueprint in the Ficsmas Advent Calendar this year. So sad.

Last year, under one of the numbers, they gave a harddrive.

[zealous urchin]

there was one hard drive this year

[vague burrow]

Oh, I must have forgotten.

[tribal vigil]

Hi. question for you people to see if anybody else is struggeling with this

When building blueprint's that have many connections beging used by Auto Connect. the game starts stuttering. CPU and GPU usage drop's to almost IDLE. and FPS drops down to really low as well.

[vague burrow]

I am wondering if some of these alt recipes I haven't touched might be OP, but the Leeched Iron/Caterium/etc. just seem bad.

Yeah, it seems like sulphur is just more valuable.

I'm also not sold on Rocket Fuel in the jetpack. I just got it, and it burns SO FAST.

[gritty ridge]

is there anyway to stay on the pole when im ziplining

[leaden turret]

ceiling/wall connectors don't make you fall off last I checked. otherwise long distance traversal is best with power towers

[frail sleet]

It's CPU and RAM bound. Particularly on one CPU thread.

[vague burrow]

Ionized burns for longer than rocket fuel I see. Yeah, I'll have to add that to the production line. It's simple enough if it's just packaged and not feeding an extensive powerplant.

Nice!

[tribal vigil]

Ive watched my CPU usage. and no cores are ramping full to 100%. i see
i see that core 13-15 dont go fully idle. but never cap at 100%.......

[frail sleet]

If you're using windows more recent than windows 7, CPU usage is not reported in the way that you would expect.

If you have 1 thread always busy for example and 4 cores, you can see all 4 cores at 25%, even though that thread is always executing.

You will see that your total CPU load is higher than 100% divided by your number of cores/threads (e.g. if you have an 8 core CPU, it will be >=12.5%)

Likewise if you limit the game to 1 cpu core, you will see that core go at 100% because the thread can't move.

[vague burrow]

Yeah, I already created my superhub and everything is automated, except for the Stage 5 items. I'm running out of things to do, ha ha

This is my third playthrough. I already did the 1000 pasta, so I am almost done.

Oh no, I sloop it up, ha ha

I don't automate the stage 5 Space Elevator items. I just do a temporary setup to get it done.

Once I am done with the space elevator, I'm not really interested in those items. I got the golden nugget on a previous save, so I don't really have anything to do with the production items.

[tribal vigil]

Yeah. that i saw. When changing how the game using the cpu. bound to 2 cores. when placing BP's with many connection. i can see the 1 core dropping to idle while the other stays at 100%. noting that the game engine don't utelises all availbale cores on heavy tasks. so more like a development thing than my pc being slow.

[frail sleet]

Parallelism isn't something that you can handwave away as a fixable development problem. It's very often a mathematical impossibility.

For example, inter-core communication has a cost based on hardware. Your CPU may literally take longer to send part of a task to another core than it takes to execute that task, in which case it would just make performance worse to do so, not better.

On the other hand, you can run the same task on many different CPU's and record different performance on each. Some are faster than others.

[vague burrow]

Same, I have cube blueprints and then factories that are all connected to a conveyer hub that is 10 conveyers high.

[swift mauve]

The game is very well optimized so it is your cpu & gpu performance limiting you lol

[zealous urchin]

my architecture skill is just math, im unable to make shape of the structure look good 😩

[swift mauve]

14900k and 5080 runs the game well!

[frail sleet]

When you use massive worlds and huge autoconnect blueprints it won't, but some fail harder than others 😄

[vague burrow]

Blue prints completely changed my gameplay. They speed things up so much.

[tribal vigil]

that is because each single corep performance is diffrent. i run a 5700x. wanting to upgrade to 5800x3d 😛

[zealous urchin]

whats the purpose of speed if one cant land a punch, its just tweaking in the air

[gaunt junco]

For some reason my game is crashing as soon as i turn on after being 50hours in(my pc is not an issue as i have a good pc)

Alr thanks

I'll try launching the game once more before doing it

Yes i am just afraid that my save is corrupted

[gritty ridge]

guys theres a big ass rock in the middle of my coal vein is there anyway i can remove it

[leaden turret]

[gritty ridge]

thats such a random ass spot

[leaden turret]

SCIM (linked in #welcome) has a save editor that auto-applies some save corruptions.

[feral dragon]

What's generally the best thing to build just for sinking? Like a combination of points/min and ease of build. Like heavy modular frame?

[leaden turret]

-# XKCD 37

[feral dragon]

huh?

[trim sundial]

Just out of curiosity, what do you think the best things for someone whos completed all milestones up to tier 4 should never leave home with out when he goes out exploring and looking for harddisks?

[dense violet]

basic exploration gear and things needed for the crash pods?

[stone python]

dont forget your bananas

[shrewd hatch]

why is packaged biofuel so good

for the jetpack and biomass burners

[trim sundial]

I should have been more clear, i meant in terms of opening pods. You can usually find materials to repair the pods near the pods sure bug i meant what should i bring with me to guarentee im going to be able to open almost any pod, at least that a tier 4 employee can have access too lol.

[shrewd hatch]

yea its amazing

[cerulean dawn]

i found a little speed glitch accidentally.

you can go really fast early game by sliding and jumping.

and i mean, really fast.

i love it, it makes early game so much faster

[frail sleet]

yeah, was made even faster on 1.1

[trim sundial]

Wait..you can slide?

Im using a constroller to play on PC and ive never slid before...i must be missing a button lol

....this is going to sound real stupid but..YOU CAN CROUCH? You mean i can duck in between the stacked conveyers surrounding my base? I dont have to go up and over the stacked ladder?

OMG i feel so incredibly stupid, i thought my B button just didnt do anything except back out of menus, i never tried holding it down

[unkempt blade]

canonically you're actually dragging your butt across the ground like a dog with a gland problem bit it does lower your collision box

[trim sundial]

Man crouching and sliding is hoinh yo be a game changer moving around my base lol

[unkempt blade]

as long as you're comfortable taking such a shameful pose to get under a pipe or conveyor

[shrewd hatch]

How can I check how much stuff I purchased from the awesome shop

I wanna see how much concrete in total I used
