satisfactory

[golden nexus]

I know, but its also called "the squiggly thing"

[karmic quarry]

🫩 why

[dense violet]

no cross play

between console and pc

[versed cosmos]

i think crossplay between pc and consoles is really hard for some reason

[sullen gull]

Or between PS5 and Xbox

[real shale]

actually damn it i forgot, even if i had mk3 miners i dont have mk6 belts...shame

[vague burrow]

Does anyone else not use Geothermal at all because it doesn't give smooth lines?

[arctic marten]

I have no squiggle thing top left of my keyboard... :/

[versed cosmos]

multiple generators smooths out the line

[dense violet]

no? it's free power. Do you just spend your game staring at a line doing nothing else?

[golden nexus]

copy and past this ~

[vague burrow]

Yeah, but you can't get it 100% flat.

[versed cosmos]

that wont work lol

[dense violet]

and?

[sullen gull]

Don't think it works like that : P ... But curious now.

[karmic quarry]

But will there will be crossplay between console and PC in the Future?

[arctic marten]

that doesnt work XD ofc

[golden nexus]

should be able to take the tild off the end?

[sullen gull]

Most likely not.

[versed cosmos]

power storage will pick up the slack when the geothermal goes down in power

[trim sundial]

WOW, one fully overclocked water extractor can support SIX COAL GENERATORS? Am i seeing these numbers right?

[dense violet]

don't count on it, they don't advertise anything until ti's basically done

[vague burrow]

Because I like a flat line for my power generation, ha ha

[sullen gull]

Pasting it does nothing in game. The key has to be pressed.

[golden nexus]

no

[golden nexus]

Its really, 6.66666666

[karmic quarry]

So it’s still beta?

[versed cosmos]

???

[dense violet]

no. They just don't advertise plans unless the update is basically done

[karmic quarry]

Oh ok

[trim sundial]

I was going to say, how do you figure no with the 300m out put and each generator taking 50m lol. Ok so needing only one or two generators takes abit of water extractor drain off my grid, to bad i cant overlock the water extractor and the 6 coal generators it supports all at once.

[golden nexus]

if you have a hash/pound # at the right side try shift + # key if its located above return

[versed cosmos]

generators take 45 water/min

[dense violet]

each generator only needs 45 water pm

[golden nexus]

Was talking about this a while ago, i am running 16 in a puddle lmao

[versed cosmos]

unless you overclock it a bit which idk why you'd do such a tiny amount and it throws off the amount of coal/min

[golden nexus]

eg i am running on mk2 pipes a 300 + 120 -> far end +300

[arctic marten]

kk I switched my keyboard to US and was able to open console

[trim sundial]

OH ok i was readingh it wrong, it takes 45/min it HOLDS 50

[arctic marten]

on azerty I think we need to open game settings files and change the key

[golden nexus]

So 6 wants 6 * 45 = 270

[versed cosmos]

that would be 225% overclock btw

[vague burrow]

I feel like we get Geothermal too late in the game for it to be worth it.

[versed cosmos]

yeah it really isnt that much power

[gloomy tusk]

i have coal power

how many stages does the space elevator have

[versed cosmos]

5

[gloomy tusk]

this is my first ever run and i got it to stage 1 🥹

[versed cosmos]

phase 3 isnt too hard to get to

[gloomy tusk]

im trying to automate everything right now

[versed cosmos]

phase 4 is the big filter beyond which only neurodivergents survive

[gloomy tusk]

but my power keeps failing

[vague burrow]

I think it'd be cool if you could get geothermal in phase 1. So it's not just biofuel.

[gloomy tusk]

and idk what to do 💔

[real shale]

A truer statement has never been said

[magic rune]

that's kinda the point of phase 1, everything's manual until phase 2 when you get coal power

[gloomy tusk]

i have a water wheel thats powering 5 coal things but it keeps breaking

idk what to do

[golden nexus]

Not really, you really can run though it quickly with basic automation

[versed cosmos]

ratios ratios ratios

5 coal generators needs more water than 1 extractor can provide

[magic rune]

i mean, phase 1 isn't fully afk-able

[gloomy tusk]

only things i have seen of satisfactory is lgo

[gloomy tusk]

also everything is mk 1

[versed cosmos]

that's fine

[golden nexus]

Yeah but i am taking what you said as crafting bench task

[gloomy tusk]

it took me 3hrs to find how to craft smart plating

[versed cosmos]

use online tools

[trim sundial]

Well, im still working in unlocking tier 5 so i dont need to be greedy. I took two of my water extactors and turned them up to 230m output, then i took the two coal generators attached to each one and maxed their overclock so now they take 226m of water,so thats a small window of 4m to play with from each extractor and i know have like 1200mw production and im only using 600MW-ish. Time to overclock some of my factory line

[gloomy tusk]

im deciding to not use anything apart from lgo this and my elite ball knowledge

[golden nexus]

how much of it you want? #screenshots message

[gloomy tusk]

i needed 100 but i made it

also should i move water to my base or move my base to water and coal

[hybrid nymph]

Overclocking coal generators is almost never worth it, All it does is safe space

[versed cosmos]

dont think you need everything in one place

power is the easiest thing to move

[real shale]

LMAO i love satisfactory tools, went to go see how much petroleum coke i could make from this oil resource well and it recommended producing rubber to get HOR byproduct but then it states rubber as a Byproduct to its own recipe

[gloomy tusk]

what is the average user age for satisfactory i would assume 16+

[golden nexus]

what you should do is unlock coal before you do anything, then add about 8 coal plants, 2 miners, 3 extrators, spare copper hseets, concrete and plate and head towards a well know coal power plant spot leaving power cable on the way

[versed cosmos]

well yeah that is the most efficient path without alts

[golden nexus]

a lot of old programmers/engineers play it

[hybrid nymph]

Satisfactory is appropriate for all ages

[gloomy tusk]

my base is currently set up at a lake with 2 coal ores near me

[hybrid nymph]

But you have to be at least about 16 to be able to understand the complexities of the game

I don't think that a child would be able to do that

[real shale]

I just find it funny rubber being declared the byproduct of its own recipe , but yeah seems i can get 5400 Petroleum Coke/min from this oil well

[golden nexus]

yeah you need to narrow down a lot more... theres a load of coal nodes and lakes

[gloomy tusk]

children are not understanding this game

[hybrid nymph]

Yeah okay you make a fair point 👉☝️

[gloomy tusk]

wym isn't it procedually generated terrain?

[golden nexus]

one single static map

[versed cosmos]

tbh satisfactory could do a lot to make math fun for kids

[real shale]

Just need to place 90 refineries in the middle of the red forest, simple, I've wanted to exploit for everything it had anyway, even turn it into a wasteland

[gloomy tusk]

it is on the beginner map and it is next to a forest and it is surronded by big cliff walls and a small waterfall

[versed cosmos]

i love the red forest i cant bring myself to tear it down lol

[gloomy tusk]

does that help?

[versed cosmos]

the SWAMP though...

[magic rune]

the swamp is what i'm going to pave over for my nuclear plant

[real shale]

Oh no i could in a heart beat, all those stingers have made me want to completely burn it down

[golden nexus]

the grass fields

[gloomy tusk]

yes

[real shale]

i hate the red forest so much, actually my least favourite biome

[versed cosmos]

even more than swamp?

[real shale]

yes

[gloomy tusk]

i gotta do something ill be back

[versed cosmos]

wild

[hybrid nymph]

The red forest has a ton of slugs, spheres, and sloops

[golden nexus]

Go to this location #screenshots message

[hybrid nymph]

Unfortunately there are only 4 uranium deposits on the map, and 1 of them is in the red forest

[versed cosmos]

mistra do u have a pic of that spot from the ground the perspective might be confusing

[gloomy tusk]

THATS EXACTLY WHERE I AM CURRENTLY

[versed cosmos]

oh nevermind lol

[golden nexus]

4 coal nodes, 1 capped, 1 iron, 1 copper, 1 concrete

[real shale]

There's 5

[gloomy tusk]

theres not 4 coal nodes there?

only 2 right next to me

[magic rune]

this time around i'm playing in peaceful mode (not just "passive", actual peaceful, as in Remove All Annoyances mod that deletes fart rocks/flowers, and the animals just go "AH-" immediately after spawning)

[versed cosmos]

might be a little further away

[golden nexus]

example of the spot #screenshots message

[real shale]

although unfortutely the two normal ones are in or about the red forest

[hybrid nymph]

Yes I do, That's exactly what I plan to do

[real shale]

another reason to hate this place

[hybrid nymph]

I really wish we could make MOX nuclear fuel, instead of just making it into plutonium fuel rods why can't we just mix the plutonium with The uranium to make a new fuel rod?

[potent ledge]

there is no voice in this server?

[real shale]

welp, time to make 5400 Petroleum coke a minute

[magic rune]

...also it turns out the only actual solution to my "coal does not go in the sulfur station" issue, was to tell the truck not to fuel there at all, and just have it refuel from the same coal it's picking up

[golden nexus]

I remember now why i wanted to give up this save, its got to the "I must invest in power massivly" #screenshots message

[versed cosmos]

as someone into nuclear stuff im kinda disappointed at how dumbed down it is in game

[hybrid nymph]

Have fun making 216 generators

[real shale]

why would i do that

[hybrid nymph]

You're going to need 17 pipelines

[golden nexus]

the cokes for aliminum

[trim sundial]

Woops, i chose something else over an option for better iron plate production and now that im looking at my factory my brain is full realizing the implications of that decision, might be some regerts.

[hybrid nymph]

Oh okay yeah that makes more sense

[golden nexus]

screwed?

[versed cosmos]

iron plates are easy to make more of there's so much iron on the map

[trim sundial]

I dont think so, several people have told me ill have a chance to learn all the recipes, its just a matter of when it comes around in the hard disk options again

[versed cosmos]

the earlier you scan the better

[magic rune]

yeah, there's more hard drives on the map than there are alt recipes in the entire game, so you'll eventually be able to unlock all

[versed cosmos]

you can only only recipes for technology you currently have. the more you progress the more the recipes you want are diluted

[golden nexus]

Was it for cast screw, which you get rally good odd on unlocking prior to unlocking the assembler

[real shale]

Also dont worry i already have a plan to make 160 generators so

[versed cosmos]

even if you don't want a particular recipe right now it's good to have early game recipes banked if you want them later

[real shale]

but the cokes for electrode scrap so

[trim sundial]

Yeah, and now that im taking what ive learned over the last few days, and now that i can overclock a bunch of machines im considering running with belts of copper ingots and iron plates below and above each other and just having constructors pull from the belts. i can eliminate so many smelters...

[trim sundial]

No but i did just get a recipe for steel screws...not sure if i like it though. Screws arnt my issue

[real shale]

oh wow im realising my error in logistics, i have brought over 1850 coal already but if i swap it out for electrode scrap i no longer need that coal......

eh screw it, the coke will still be useful to produce

[versed cosmos]

you could mix the base scrap recipe and electrode scrap

[hybrid nymph]

I love this chat. You guys appreciate me and are nice to me 🤗

[shell nest]

Are u on Aus servers. I mean your name implies it but just askin

[hybrid nymph]

Thank you so much 🙏😊

[real shale]

Alternatively I could make a bucket lot of electrode circuit boards lmao, Aaaa i can figure this out tomorrow, it is late

[versed cosmos]

and since you've already got oil there you'd just need a bit of copper and you could make computers!

[magic rune]

anyone else only able to hear the way kibitz says "supah compyutah" whenever they see that particular item

[real shale]

so many decisions to be made in this game

[golden nexus]

nope, i normally used other choice language and then complain about not having enough

[real shale]

me whos been trying to automate supercomputers for quite some time now

[golden nexus]

i have them in this save, at a very bad rate ad i badly pressed for power

[versed cosmos]

jesus christ i just put super computers into stools and its so complex

[real shale]

i think i had plans for like 24/min? or something

[dense violet]

just squish caterium and oil together https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production?share=cfT1GDyAM56ogOjIwwBS

[versed cosmos]

also wth is this 1.875/min on one assembler

such a weird ratio

[golden nexus]

I have 3.75 with sloop (yeah its that bad)

[versed cosmos]

manufacturer, not assembler

also oh my god that's so much plastic

it wants almost 500 crude oil JUST for plastic

[golden nexus]

i have the caterium "stack" all of it. I need like 25,000 plastic

[sleek delta]

30/16 = 1.875

[versed cosmos]

oh my god these alt recipes are insane

[sleek delta]

and the game's belt speeds are all multiples of 30 because lol maths

go figure

[versed cosmos]

mk3 belt at 270/min

[sleek delta]

inb4reply

[real shale]

realisation in 3...2.....1..

[dense violet]

Clocking is the main mechanic for managing logistics in this game , people still go off about imaginary ratios.

[versed cosmos]

100% i always overclock if it makes the numbers easier

[gloomy tusk]

well idk if i am since i sometimes use a vpn

but yes i live in australia

[hybrid nymph]

Mk1 pipes have 300m^3 per minute and Mk2 pipes have 600m^3 per minute

[dense violet]

'weird ratios' is even more imaginary since if you change the unit of time you measure things can can always change

[sleek delta]

1.875*60

almost an integer now 😛

btw hello everyone i'm new

[real shale]

Hi New I'm Nerdmojer

[hybrid nymph]

Hello New Person lol 😆

[shell nest]

Are you relatively new or would you be able to help me out with a production line

[versed cosmos]

Anyone here can help

What seems to be the problem

[golden nexus]

Opps, i managed ot remove all of my battry backup in 8 minutes... with 3 machines

[hybrid nymph]

Production line?

What do you need exactly?

[hybrid nymph]

Sounds like you need more batteries, I have 48 batteries

[real shale]

welp it is slowly becoming the case that the red bamboo field is neither red nor has bamboo for me

[versed cosmos]

the lorax will come for you

[real shale]

good, he can try. i will exploit this planet for everything it has

[golden nexus]

i need more power supply

[hybrid nymph]

I will post a screenshot of my entire oil plant once I finish it

It's almost done, I will finish it after dinner

[golden nexus]

Quantum encoders are killing me

[ocean frost]

If it doesn't look like Giedi Prime I want my spice back

[normal surge]

hey all! i ran into a slight problem trying to set up solid biofuel production and i have no idea what's happened. so, i set up a constructor converting biomass to solid biofuel, with a container connected at either end. however, the constructor just imported 2 biomass and then gave up. my power network should be able to handle it running, and it's connected to power, so i have no idea what it wants.

[versed cosmos]

and there's more biomass in the container?

[golden nexus]

theres something stuck in the belt input?

delete input belt, recreate it check inventotu before/after for unexpected items

[normal surge]

yes, the container has like 2000 biomass

[golden nexus]

should show item when yo go to delete it

[golden nexus]

what about the connecting belt?

[ocean frost]

Could be the belt speed

[limpid orchid]

Ive got a Thing,. I just rebuild the Train System for no Reason and often i cant place a Sign on the other side on the Track bc it says "there is already a Sign" but tahts a lie

[normal surge]

oooooh!!! 🤦‍♂️ my brother just found a leaf clipped into it on the feed belt

[shell nest]

It’s hard to describe hence why I wanted someone to loon at it

[normal surge]

working now, thanks

[hybrid nymph]

Sounds like the conveyor belt is clogged with a item that isn't recognized

[golden nexus]

yeah you can't see first item on belt which used to be in the container

[versed cosmos]

alr first what's the end goal

[ocean frost]

I have that too let me know if you find a fix

[versed cosmos]

what product or products are you trying to make and in what amounts

[shell nest]

ADC modular engine computers and heavy modular frames

[versed cosmos]

all in one factory???

[normal surge]

Yep that was it.

Thanks

[golden nexus]

sort out computers and as hmf as two seperate problems

[shell nest]

Yes

[versed cosmos]

hmfs are easy if youve got the encased frames recipe

[shell nest]

I already have almost everything done

[versed cosmos]

oh okay

[shell nest]

I do not have that recipe

I’m hopping back on in a tick

[golden nexus]

problem identified 😛

[shell nest]

Just gotta find my headphones

[versed cosmos]

lmao yeah

tbh my hmf factory uses cast screws just for the regular frames

[golden nexus]

next up you find its crystal computer or something

[shell nest]

I have cast screws

[hybrid nymph]

Did you fix the constructor?

[versed cosmos]

i use the base computer recipe lol

[shell nest]

Can I upload screen shots somewhere and tag you guys

[golden nexus]

i almost always go caterium... cause it all runs in one building

[hybrid nymph]

Caterium computers are the best

[golden nexus]

in #screenshots

have ZERO clue what i am looking at

[versed cosmos]

yeah we need a close-up

and what is the problem specifically

[real shale]

i think its a factory of some sorts

[versed cosmos]

i think you may be right

[real shale]

also that one unpowered smelter

[golden nexus]

I though it was a noodle drying factory perhaps?

[real shale]

please power it

[golden nexus]

in other news i finished all milestones

[shell nest]

Wait what do you mean

[real shale]

#screenshots message there used to be bamboo here

[versed cosmos]

it was once so beautiful

[golden nexus]

We not sure of problem, you need to narrow it down

[magic rune]

bamboon't

[real shale]

no it was ugly, i made it prettier

time to plop 90 refineries making petroluem coke in the middle of it

then it'll be beautiful

[versed cosmos]

well at least you'll be ada's favourite pioneer

[spiral wraith]

Why I cant screen share on discord?

and hello guys

[shell nest]

I used the satisfactory helper app to note down what I need

[golden nexus]

ok....

[shell nest]

So the first floor is two sets of smelters one for copper one for iron

Next row is constructors one side making rods plates and cast screws the other making wire

Next row is making cable the the following row is my assemblers

[rugged shard]

Everytime I check this channel, the same 3 good Samaritans are helping everyone 😭

[grizzled lotus]

I've seen shorts like these, but dont pillars end up hanging in midair? https://www.youtube.com/shorts/fCqH6Ukisv0

[versed cosmos]

who's that?

[grizzled lotus]

wish the game automated so pillars reach the grouned on their own

[rugged shard]

You, mistralol and smb else

[grizzled lotus]

greeny, cobalt

[versed cosmos]

yeah sometimes you have to go in and place a pillar below the blueprint to make it connect

kyo is also pretty active

[rugged shard]

Real

[shell nest]

It’s all set up to be inputs on the bottom floor supply the ones above and so forth

[rugged shard]

Keep it up frfr

[shell nest]

Maybe it’s easier if I showed someone?

[golden nexus]

waiting on my own factory to catch up

[shell nest]

Aside from my own calculations and the math from the app I can’t seem to figure out why my top floors are slowing down and not producing. Everything should be to a T and yet it isn’t

Also I powered that one smelter fyi whoever pointed it out thank you

[versed cosmos]

they're not getting enough resources?

[golden nexus]

which recipie are you using?

[versed cosmos]

could it just be manifolds taking a while to fill?

[golden nexus]

can be this as well

[shell nest]

But that’s just it. Aside from plastic which I have yet to produce and I have accounted for which ones need it and they aren’t the issue

Manifolds are full and I also manually put items in to help boost production

This is why I was asking for someone in AUS so I can show

[versed cosmos]

i could vpn to australia

[golden nexus]

what production rate do you expect of which item?

You trying to do mod eengine?

[shell nest]

Uhhh. I do not understand that question? 1 of ADC one modular engine and 1 heavy modular frame. 2 computers

[golden nexus]

Standard ADC recipie?

[shell nest]

Yes

Also is caterium wire a good alt recipe

[spare cradle]

Hmm.

[shell nest]

It looks solid

[golden nexus]

Go screenshot the recipie selection page of that manu

[spare cradle]

I am procrastinating

[versed cosmos]

you get a lot of wire

[dense violet]

sure. It's a resource exchange for an item. It gives you more options

[golden nexus]

Get back to work!! (read this in ada)

[versed cosmos]

caterium is a more scarce resource tho

Really trying ot drag this over the line one nuclear pasta at a time lmao

[grizzled lotus]

so, just normal rails?

[shell nest]

So it’s not vital where I am now

[golden nexus]

no its optional thing, it give 500MW and +10% of power

[shell nest]

So I do not currently need it now hahaha.

I just upgraded my power grid

[golden nexus]

So where is information i requested?

it just dupes power.
I'm not a fan of any of hte duping alien mechanics tbh

[versed cosmos]

it will be

yeah thats it

[golden nexus]

Need a bit of a push, remember i said "take power lines with you?"

[versed cosmos]

it needs some help to get started

[ocean frost]

Just a jump start is all

[golden nexus]

lizzard doggo in the hamster wheel

[versed cosmos]

the miners and water extractor need power. use biofuel gens to do that and the coal gens will take over when they come on

[shell nest]

Is it worth keeping the recipe or spending it

[ocean frost]

Wait till you need it

[dense violet]

you're never locked out of recipes , you can always get them later

if you don't think you'll use it soon? you could re reroll if you want

[dense violet]

but it's worth having every recipe.
there is no meta here

[ocean frost]

Wire is really common with copper and iron wire but cat wire can come in handy for specific chains

[soft marsh]

Debating between very short trains or a couple of tractors

[ocean frost]

Belt it

[golden nexus]

drone? 😄

[ocean frost]

Factory cart

[versed cosmos]

just run back and forth yourself and move the items manually!

[ocean frost]

Portable miner

[soft marsh]

Probably too far to belt but honestly I might belt it. I think the train would be the most efficient option just because I can move power as well, but the stations take up a lot of space

[ocean frost]

Trains use power belts don't

[soft marsh]

True

[ocean frost]

Join us on the dark side 🌑

[soft marsh]

I might belt it just because I'm not sure I can efficiently and cleanly use trains

[primal obsidian]

NOOOO

[dim flint]

damn it got bit by the nuclear waste bug again.

[narrow canyon]

I've resisted trains for... 5 years now? The resistance won.

[versed cosmos]

i initially resisted trains because i thought they were complex

now i just run push pull systems everywhere

[ocean frost]

Don't worry I hate trains too just due to how big the stations are

[magic rune]

pipes question: if i have multiple refineries stacked vertically, all connected to the same pipe, with the output at the top... assuming full pipes, would the head lift of the top machine make it so the lower machines would "pump upward" to its level?

[ocean frost]

They really should be 1/2 or 2/3 of the footprint

[dense violet]

you'd have to show an image of exactly what you're doing. but in general do not do vertical liquid manifolds

[versed cosmos]

intuitively the fluid with headlift would have to push the rest of the fluid up from the bottom

you could drop the the output of the top refinery down and pipe it into a junction at the bottom

[narrow canyon]

Maybe if you added a side loop run direct to the bottom.. but ew.

[versed cosmos]

yeah that

[magic rune]

fair enough... actually, i might be going an entirely different route, since i just realized that 1x refinery outputs exactly the amount of turbofuel as a 250% overclocked fuel generator uses

[versed cosmos]

wait what???

no wait that does check out

im thinking of compacted coal and its weird 7.143 or whatever burn rate

[magic rune]

yeah, so many items with weird decimals for some reason

[mystic otter]

Anyone ran into issues with mk 3 miner on a pure coal node?

I can set it to 200% clock speed and it works fine at 960 per minute with my mk 6 conveyor but if I try to set it to 250% it won't let me it goes back to 1%.

[versed cosmos]

can just change clockspeed

[magic rune]

i precisely overclocked my coal gens to intake exactly 10/min compacted coal because duh

[versed cosmos]

yeah that's the move

[golden nexus]

you on multiplayer as a client?

[mystic otter]

Nope single player world on xbox

[versed cosmos]

this sounds like an overflow issue which is really interesting as its one of the simplest bugs

[magic rune]

...540 comp coal is what i just realized i also need, oof

[mystic otter]

Hmm interesting as this line is feeding eight coal burners and I was planning on adding in eight more.

[versed cosmos]

different meanings of overflow

[magic rune]

i'm playing modded so i can biocoal it from ficsit farming, but that's a lot of sulfur for 300/min crude oil, then HOR+diluted fuel

[versed cosmos]

it sounds like the miner is being set to above the maximum value so its overflowing to the lowest value

[golden nexus]

yeah try it as 249.99999999999999999999999999999

[mystic otter]

I'll leave it at 200 then as I'm really curious to see how many more coal burners I can run off it.

[subtle swallow]

how did my biomass burner jump from 20 mw capacity to 30mw

[versed cosmos]

the ones on the hub give 20 mw the standalone ones give 30mw

biomass burners also self regulate so theyll burn slower if demand is lower

[subtle swallow]

ah i see

[spare cradle]

are the maps the same for everyone?

[versed cosmos]

yes

[spare cradle]

Cool

[versed cosmos]

the map is also almost entirely consistent

loot around crash sites is the same every time

good for early mam research if you know where to go to get stuff like computers

[spare cradle]

.... computers?

[versed cosmos]

mhm

part youll need later in the game

[spare cradle]

oooh

[glass pagoda]

It is entirely consistent as it was made by Hannah to have all the enemy's to spawn in the same place and the nodes

[spare cradle]

yeah those chips

[glass pagoda]

Don't spoil anything though

[versed cosmos]

oop sorry

[spare cradle]

[glass pagoda]

It's alr

[spare cradle]

I am hording everything I get.

that's what a good pioneer does

[ocean frost]

Don't forget the bug spray

[versed cosmos]

you might need it later

[spare cradle]

I WILL.

[glass pagoda]

when kila queen gets to phase 3 space elevator we will definitely hear about how its hell

[spare cradle]

Im only getting to phase 2

[ocean frost]

Blinker fluid is really important for your car

[tame bobcat]

oh my goodness dont start im there right now

[robust nova]

paramount even

[glass pagoda]

Don't forget headlight fluid made by job bot

That's important too

[spare cradle]

Anyways

[ocean frost]

The drop bears are scary

[spare cradle]

time to construct another district that is only 300m from my other one

[glass pagoda]

Alr let's stop lying

[ocean frost]

There is a drop bear

And it is scary

[glass pagoda]

I think a bear dropped you on ur head

🍝🎈🏴‍☠️

[ocean frost]

Don't say I didn't warn you

[glass pagoda]

AHHHHH A DROP BEAR

[ocean frost]

I'll see you in 40 hours

[glass pagoda]

HELP

[glass pagoda]

That's near so its good you have stuff nearby

[spare cradle]

It's in the valley of the grasslands

[glass pagoda]

Around big arch or near northern forest

[spare cradle]

North Forest I think

Not the quartz one

[glass pagoda]

Northern forest is dangerous though and requires mid game gear

[robust nova]

Everything there wants to kill me

Red Forest isnt much safer either

[spare cradle]

The one that has a tunnel through its wall

[glass pagoda]

Go to swamp and even the rocks will kill you

[glass pagoda]

There are tons of caves

[robust nova]

Havent been to the swamp yet, I am getting my bauxite from Red Forest

[spare cradle]

There's also a lot of arches

[glass pagoda]

Never go there unless you like hell

[versed cosmos]

swamp made me go passive mode

[glass pagoda]

And even then it still killes

[versed cosmos]

yeah even on passive i avoid the spiders

they make my skin crawl

[robust nova]

hmmm. I am tempted to have a voyage just to satisfy my curiosity

[glass pagoda]

Turn on aracnaphobia mode it makes them into pngs of the devs cats

[robust nova]

yea, the spiders suck

[versed cosmos]

the cats are worse

the cats are so much worse

[glass pagoda]

I love my pet lizard doggos

[robust nova]

I feel like I have progressed very slowly through my first playthrough, still working on getting through phase 4

[drowsy kelp]

arachnophobia mode is great

[versed cosmos]

how many hours u at?

also there is no pace to match and the game naturally slows down at phase 4

[hasty stump]

what are people's thoughts about whether to delay completing a phase (in my current playthrough, phase 2) in order to hunt for more hard drives that might be useful in the next phase? i've been kind of slack about hard drive hunting so far in this biome (dune desert, only found 6 or 7 so far) and they seem to be a bit rarer here than in the other starting biomes, or i'm just doing a poor job of finding them

[robust nova]

250 in this current play through, this is the farthest I have gotten as well

[versed cosmos]

ok that is a while lol

phase 4 is the hardest relative to what came before tho and by quite a lot

[glass pagoda]

Take it at your own pace man you got this

[versed cosmos]

big jump in complexity and needs a change in how you think about logistics

[glass pagoda]

Im doing phase 3 and I have 300 hours mainly because I explore a lot

[robust nova]

yea, all my factories have been fairly large. so been kinda rolling with the pace

[glass pagoda]

Any tips for making vertical splitters a bit less tedious

[golden nexus]

It depends, at certain stages if you are an expirenced player there is time you go for the alt recipie.

[hasty stump]

sure, but i'm at the point where i have all the stuff to complete phase 2 and i'm wondering if it's better to advance or hold off and get more hard drives first

[versed cosmos]

distance factories need to work together at phase 4. that's why you get trains after phase 3

[covert quarry]

is this game worth it?

[glass pagoda]

Advancing will help you greatly and you can get drives anytime

[glass pagoda]

Yes

[versed cosmos]

bro youre asking in the game's discord

people are going to tell you yes

[golden nexus]

You normally need the unlock, like if you want solid steel ingot for example you need steel unlocked, if you want good hmf/comp reicpie you need the manu unlocked

[covert quarry]

not always

[stone moth]

I have 18 alien power augmenters

[hasty stump]

yea i'm experienced-ish (about 400 hours) but i've always kind of half-assed the recipes and i think my factories have suffered as a result

[golden nexus]

Yes, But yes, But yes... but its really a game for people who like factory/building games

[stone moth]

I went from 14875 MW Capacity to 44625 MW

[robust nova]

Isnt there only enough for 10 in the game?

[stone moth]

Shhhhhh

[golden nexus]

There is key tricks at certain ppoints in the game. I have like 5x your hours btw.... some of these are solid steel, a trick to look for a recipie like a foundry is if iyts going to output more than it inputs, make sure te foundries face away from each other... not as a line of 12 etc... it makes it harder to deal with....

[stone moth]

Duplication glitches

[spare cradle]

I have 6 iron veins and a copper vein near it, so maybe a reinforced factory could be excellent here

[glass pagoda]

Im going to say this and I say it a lot. There will always be a factory better than yours and there will be better drives than what you have but if you build exactly as they do and say then the game isint yours anymore. Don't let other people deter you because they went through the same struggles you did

[robust nova]

ah lol

[hasty stump]

i'm thinking about the opposite problem, like i don't have very many of the "basic" recipes so far and i guess they'll take longer to get if i advance to the next phase (because there will be a bigger pool)

[glass pagoda]

Help goes a long way just dont make it so you completely depend on other people create a balance

[versed cosmos]

needing people to plan your factories constantly is a great way to not learn anything

[glass pagoda]

You look at stuff such as manifolds and you implement them into your build not copy

[golden nexus]

sometimes, but also when you go disk hunting, you hunt spheres, sloop, slug at the same time, when you move from place to place ts important to just keep throwing in the drives to make sure they get processed, another thing to be aware of is that its a hell of a lot easier and faster to move with a parachute and when you have a jetpack+liquid biofuel so its more efficent not hard disk hunting until after this point... unless you absolutly need the recipie

[hasty stump]

no for sure, i'm not trying to "min max" the game or anything, but i know there are recipes that make things less annoying, like requiring fewer screws etc, and if i don't have them yet then i'll continue having to do annoying builds until i find the recipes

[glass pagoda]

What is disk hunting

[versed cosmos]

legendary autocorrect 💀

[golden nexus]

hahha

[hasty stump]

funniest slang for "hard drive" that i've ever heard haha

[ocean frost]

No wonder sloops make you work twice as hard

[glass pagoda]

Hard drive hard?!? I think it was all planed by the devs

[golden nexus]

There is also red herring recipies like diluted packaged fuel for example.... which is a legacy where holding out for a blender is way better for most people

[ocean frost]

Gives the hub a whole new meaning

[glass pagoda]

Also after showing my mom satisfactory she saw a bean and told me to derail my train and run it over

[hasty stump]

fair point, i need more spheres anyway, so probably that's a clue that i should go on a more general hunt, get some drives, sloops etc while i'm at it

[golden nexus]

its a case of shop to whats needed or when there is gaps waiting for a factory to do something

BTW most mid-game onwards drive hunting involved a cannon + respawn 😛 especially for exprienced players

[glass pagoda]

Let's hope making this blueprint helps with my vertical splitters and merger problems

[spare cradle]

How does those water bees work?

[glass pagoda]

Flying crabs?

[placid stirrup]

Kill the hive, save the world

[spare cradle]

Autocorrect or something

The geyser looking thing

[glass pagoda]

Veiny crabs wha

[placid stirrup]

You unlock the thing to tap them later on

[spare cradle]

Water veins, and fun.

Nice to have water local

[glass pagoda]

Oh catirum research unlocks the power augmenter

[sullen gull]

Blenders are fuun 😛 #screenshots message

[placid stirrup]

They're called "wells" for future reference

[hasty stump]

oh good point, i've unlocked tubes but i still haven't got around to building some cannons, that will make the exploration a bit easier (like spotting crash sites from way up above)

[golden nexus]

With a cannon + repspawn turned on you can be anywhere in hte map in < 90 seconds.

[hasty stump]

btw, am i hallucinating, or are wrecks that you've already dismantled until you get somewhat close to them? i swear i've seen that happen from above, a wreck i know i've already visited, then i descend and at some altitude it just disappears

[glass pagoda]

I prefer climbing ladder for ten minutes

[blissful crater]

hi, just starting coal power and a lot of people are saying u have to do some sort of thing with the tubes i.e make a loop but i've just connected 3 water extractors to 8 generators simply using pipes, will this go wrong in the future and its just too slow for me to see it in real time or will i be fine

[versed cosmos]

yeah this happens

[glass pagoda]

No you are not hallucinating it'd anoying

[placid stirrup]

!wikisearch cg

[raven axle]

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

[golden nexus]

yeah this is true

[glass pagoda]

Mr fancy pants commands

[placid stirrup]

@blissful crater pipes and belts have maximum throughput; you can't force more than their capacity handles

[hasty stump]

ha speaking of respawn, in my last playthrough i got unlucky and built a cannon at just the right angle and the right number of entrances that it crashed me straight into a "highway in the sky" that i had built about 1km away

[ocean frost]

If you are hearing things seeing things is only the next logical step

[golden nexus]

even without respawn ability, you just bring parts to cannon back from biomass

[glass pagoda]

At full heath you can never die from one hit so try that

[placid stirrup]

eats 200 nuts

[hasty stump]

yes i learned this on that very occasion in fact 😁 however, i also failed to munch some nutrients and died when i landed on the ground (i was so surprised/amused when i crashed into the sky platform that i didn't open my parachute and took the remaining 1 hp when i hit the ground)

[glass pagoda]

THESE STUPID VETICAL SPLITTTTTERRRR

[golden nexus]

btw getting spheres are probably more important than a lot of the recipies 🙂

[hasty stump]

that's what i usually focus on when i'm out hunting, scan for spheres, grab other stuff (sloops and drives) if i see them, maybe get slugs if they don't look too annoying, but somehow i always have plenty of slugs and never enough spheres

[teal geyser]

Show me on the doll where the vertical splitter touched you

I guess I killed the chat. Going to go nuke my 4 lizard doggos now

Not only he killed chat he buried it with that one lol

[graceful basalt]

is there anything wrong with just continiously splitting a pipe like this?

#screenshots message

[teal geyser]

Damn, no need to roast me that hard bro 🤣

[versed cosmos]

nope

it'll take a while for fluid to get to the end but it works pretty much exactly te same as a belt manifold

[dense violet]

depends
how much fluid in that pipe pm?

[teal geyser]

One minor thing about your setup. Pipeline pumps only provide headlift. Looks like you don't need them because your fuel generators are all on the same level

[latent gate]

So I figured out vanilla satisfactory hex foundations

#screenshots message

[dense violet]

cool

[latent gate]

might still end up switching materials though

not super happy with the color flexibility

[subtle swallow]

is there anyway to automate biomass burner with leaves or solid biofuel

[dense violet]

no, that's the point of bio burners in teh pre tutorial

[hexed phoenix]

Only Semi-Automatic - meaning you'd still need to feed a container with example Leaves or Wood, and abuse Constructors to convert it into Biomass -> Solid Biofuel

But can heavily recommend doing that in early stages, as crafting Solid Biofuel by hand is a huge time killer

[spare bolt]

How common is it to find a quartz node on top of a limestone resource?

[subtle swallow]

thank you

[soft marsh]

#screenshots message Havent finished the drop off belts yet but I think this is how I'll have it. Might get rid of the truck and belt that resource over under the rail bridge

[magic rune]

the nobby little things on top of mining deposits usually are the same material, but a few can be randomized, i think. most of the nobby things scattered about the world are random, except there's designated places where uranium knobs are guaranteed to spawn as intentional hazards...

[spare bolt]

hrmn

[coral marsh]

Would it be dumb or smart to MASS produce ballistic warp drives just to sink them? Talking like, 12 per minute total?

[dense violet]

it's a sand box game - create your own project with your own rules and designs

that just sounds like a project 😛

[coral marsh]

just, curious is all

okay just looked through the calculator, i could technically do this via all storage containers lol

[magic rune]

...also i have a new debate to contemplate... i'm taking HOR from an ocean platform and train-ing it to the forest lake, where it will be turbofuel'd and used for power. should i package it at the oil islands (and have to worry about returning empties), or just have a longer fluid-car train so things move only one direction throughput will be 400/m HOR from a 300/m oil node, so i shouldn't need too big a station...

[thorn cave]

I JUST HAD THE MOST REVOLUTIONARY IDEA EVERYONE IT WOULD FIX EVERY PROBLEM THIS GAME HA

[teal geyser]

OK. WHAT IS IT?!!!!!!!!!

[thorn cave]

||make it so that when you hold click for extra long with a coffie cup, make it so you take a LONGER SIP OF THE CUP||

[teal geyser]

Revolutionary!

[dense violet]

generally easier to move the oil first
also often easier to move the solids to the liquids

[teal geyser]

Future Coffee Stain dev right here!

[thorn cave]

told you bruh they should add this

[steel sluice]

I personally like the neat loop of packaging, since I find it fun, but practically unpackaging your liquids on a higher floor and dropping it down into machines can eliminate head lift calculations

[thorn cave]

fr fr this some enstine level thinking

hire me satisfactory devs trust

[hexed phoenix]

The Sipping of Coffee is calculated using Advanced Nuclear AI Technology to the most efficient way to get Energy without spending too much time drinking also..

[magic rune]

the train will go to the top floor of the power plant, so head lift is a non-issue

[thorn cave]

add a third arm so you can drink and use both hands to still be productive

problem solved

[hexed phoenix]

Our suit should have a IV link attached, with a small pump, to keep our caffine level at optimal level :)

save and restart, see if it's in your build menu

[dim flint]

The more I mess with trains, the more I really think trying to use a single station for more than one item, despite being something you should be able to do, just isn't a good idea.

[feral jacinth]

that didnt work, is it different on consoles? i'm still in onboarding

[dense violet]

you probalby need to finish upgrading the hub

it's the 2nd milestone in tier 1.
isn't onboarding tier 0?

[unborn nova]

currently trying to get my power going again cause it went out for some reason, can someone give me a couple ideas of things to check?

[subtle swallow]

is there a way to disconnet wires without deleting it?

[dense violet]

delete the pole

[dense violet]

power switches also exist at some point

[subtle swallow]

ok. what does that mean exactly tho

[dense violet]

you can hook a cable to a power switch and power switch to a pole and use it like a light switch

[stray summit]

me when i stick my first nuclear nobelisk ontop of the toilet and have a freind join me and then i blow it up and he thinks i put tritium and neutrons in the toilet:

[subtle swallow]

ah good to know

[ocean frost]

Flushing the toilet should cause a fart rock to spawn close by

[unborn nova]

nvm i got it, its cause my nuclear plant didnt have fuel, forgot how much it carries me

[tardy fjord]

probably not long enough for a thread soo: Is the pink forest area above the standard spawn only supposed to accessed in tier 9?

[dense violet]

you can access it whenever you can survive there

the bauxite there is used in tier 7+

[remote kraken]

How do i get rid of rocks on coal veins?

I sent a picture in #screenshots

[ocean frost]

Explosives

It's in the sulfur tree in the mam

I didn't know coal nodes had rocks on them

[remote kraken]

I found a Pure one but its like 1000+ meters away

so im settling for a normal one for a while

[drifting scaffold]

so the devs are just bold face lieing when they say its cross platform as its not, its ps5&xbox or pc even though the steam store says cross platform

[remote kraken]

idk abt anyone else but multiplayer for me as a whole has been buns

[hybrid nymph]

I know the devs are lying

[ocean frost]

We were kind enough to let the filthy epic players play with us

[hybrid nymph]

Satisfactory is not cross-platform, it's only cross-platform between PS5 and Xbox series x. Cross-platform to me means console and PC like Minecraft bedrock edition

[drifting scaffold]

no one cares about the 3 people using epic

[remote kraken]

every time me or my buddy used an item or crafted smth manually, the other would rubberband around for about 1-3mins

[hybrid nymph]

I seriously wish that satisfactory on console allowed mods. And it wouldn't be hard to do either. Coffee Stain should just tell Sony and Microsoft directly and say ,"hey we're going to allow mods on our game on all platforms, If you don't allow us to have mods on our own game on your console, then we're not releasing it on your console and you're going to lose money to the PC market"

[ocean frost]

Mod support was originally a promise

DRG does it so well

[remote kraken]

Sony and Microsoft both have thousands of shares in the pc marketing industry so unfortunately they wont do that for ONE game

[ocean frost]

Join the PC master race

[remote kraken]

Theyll just tell the devs to make the game PC exclusive at that point or just take it off Playstation's servers

Is there a way to transfer materials long distances quickly?

[ocean frost]

Trains?

[dreamy ore]

Quick question, I haven't played in years and wanted to make a new save with my friends, is it possible to make a server that both of us can access at any time rather than just a world where the host has to be online for any friends to join?

[remote kraken]

Those exist?

i JUST unlocked coal stuff

[ocean frost]

You can rent or host a server

[hybrid nymph]

Bethezda did that already with Fallout 4 and Sktrim, they allow mods on console, so does cities skylines

[ocean frost]

Or find an empty server

[remote kraken]

Is there an early game alternative?

[dreamy ore]

How would I go about doing that?

[ocean frost]

You also get trucks but it's a really bad implementation

[remote kraken]

I dont think im even there yet

[ocean frost]

You should be close to trucks

[hybrid nymph]

Why doesn't coffestain studios just allow mod managers to downlaod the mods directly from within the game? Like you just download them from the mod feature and they go on the game, and then friends can join and it automatically downloads the mods so they can play

[ocean frost]

The modding community did a better job

Since it wasn't in the core game it didn't get ported

[hybrid nymph]

I know they did, PCMasterRace is the best

[remote kraken]

Why do I always have so many wires

Yet never enough

[vague burrow]

[limpid orchid]

[gloomy tusk]

oh

i haven't unlocked that yet

[limpid orchid]

Its easy to find in the MaM. But you have to get Oil if you got that

[gloomy tusk]

how do i get oil

[limpid orchid]

You need the Oil Extractor and have to Search Oil with your Searcher

Nvm

You dont need Oil for Explosive. As i see here at the Recipes. You need Sulfur and Coal

Sulfur you can mine with a Miner MK1/2/3 and Coal too.

You need to make Black Powder @gloomy tusk for Explosives

[gloomy tusk]

black powder?

[limpid orchid]

Black Powder you can Unlock in the Mam

I think

Or am Sure... Idk really.

[versed cosmos]

Yes it's in the MAM

[spare cradle]

That's what I'm asking from y'all. What composition of mergers to get that distribution of items.

[versed cosmos]

send the 6th output back to the beginninf of the splitter tree

[limpid orchid]

I just Merge everything into 1 and then Split then to the right how i want them

[leaden turret]

load balancing is a nightmare

[spare cradle]

It's 300/min and I only got mk2

-# I need em screws

[versed cosmos]

it'll split 6 ways, 5 into your machines, and the 6th will get another chance to split

[spare cradle]

Or, just go up to make rotors

[versed cosmos]

although this doen't work if you're using the belt's full capacity

[spare cradle]

Bc that is another thing

[versed cosmos]

because it needs to be able to take what's on it +1/6th

[spare cradle]

I'm also having to have 2 outputs go to 5 inputs

[limpid orchid]

Can you Merge these outputs this time?

[gloomy tusk]

Yes but it would be simpler to not.

Yeah, would be a Struggle then i would think

[remote kraken]

I dont understand this truck route stuff

YouTube is not helping 😭

[severe pewter]

Just helped someone balance the fluids & outputs in their factory, and ngl, it was pretty fun. Got me a whole lot less worried about finally digging into aluminum too

[remote kraken]

You have to balance liquids and outputs-?
○_○

I just unlocked water man 😭

[severe pewter]

Water by itself is easy, I was dealing with Uranium

Things got wonky cause a lot of the by-product were used to feed things upstream in unequal quantities, but everything had to have a production rate of net zero.

-You can skip a lot of the hard stuff btw by not using manifolds. Manifolds are just nice cause they tend to look better cosmetically, and save on space.

[magic rune]

i have mathificated, and as long as a train visits HOR Island every twelve minutes or less, throughput will be juuuust fine with the fluid stations

...also polish radio is oddly energizing when building a factory

[severe pewter]

I like some of the 70s & 80s Japanese City Pop, the internet calls it, for building

[magic rune]

hmm... if i have three wumbo-sized fluid buffers, linked to each other, with two going into the station... if i link the far two together with a direct pipe (making a triangle of buffers), will that make sloshing better or worse?

[severe pewter]

It will make sloshing slower

[magic rune]

slower as in less bad?

[severe pewter]

Idk. But if you're trying to diagnose problems, it'll be harder to see changes.

If you want less sloshing, add a horizontal pump feeding a vertical line to a single (can be small) buffer, which then drops down to whatever you're feeding. Just make sure the top of the buffer doesn't exceed the head pressure of the pump

[magic rune]

it's not necessarily a problem, since they're all going to the same out-only intake (train station input), was mostly just wondering. all three tanks are level both with each other and the station

[severe pewter]

To make life easier for yourself in the future, whenever using manifolds especially, always try to make splits from the manifold that go to inputs to exit downward vertically, and the outputs that merge into manifolds to enter from above vertically into the manifold. Or at the very least, not horizontal

[dense violet]

buffers in fluid systems will generally cause flow issues yes

and as long as the manifold pipe has inputs at least on level with the inputs of hte machines you should be good

[spare cradle]

I hope there is a way to filter items per the item itself

Mmm, storage monolith.

[magic rune]

oh, there is. have you found some gold-looking ore in the world yet? might be worth molecularly analyzing 👀

well, there's your ticket to item sortification. it's kinda far down the research tree though... but in theory, you can get it as soon as you can make copper sheets along with doing something with that ore

[spare cradle]

Quick wire you mean? I just thought it was for lights

That's the only reason I've been putting off going and getting an amount of it

[magic rune]

it's used for electronics in general, trust me you need to get a lot of production for it eventually

[spare cradle]

Oh no.

I may be needing that truck, very soon

Bc it is going to be a ton of walking for how far these ones are.

-# and should there be separated power grids at all?

[magic rune]

eventually you'll want to be able to isolate them with switches, but that's even further down that particular tech tree

[spare cradle]

Omg switches would be nice

[magic rune]

also movement tip that works from the start: crouch-slide-jumping

[spare cradle]

SLIDE?!

[magic rune]

run forward, hold crouch, and jump. get a good rhythm and you can yeet yourself quite far... on flat ground or downhill, only

[spare cradle]

I got the blade runners, probably just more speed

[magic rune]

oh the effect is even better with those

[ocean frost]

Mergers and splitters ot cock it and have output go directly into the input

[spare cradle]

I wish there was a mk2 verison

[magic rune]

trust me, look forward to future phases, there's a lot of !!Fun!! movement options

[untold oak]

how can i get rid of the toxic gas

[dense violet]

Wear a mask

[velvet idol]

kaboom

[sullen gull]

Or blow them up with a Nobellisk or Explosive rebar.

[unborn vessel]

What’s better? Iron Wire or Encased Industrial Pipe. Both alternative recipes

Ok

[trim sundial]

Lol i finally got my blade runners, best thing since sliced bread

No more running around and through my factory, i just jump over it haha

[hybrid nymph]

I just finished the coal plant in #screenshots

There are 32 of them in total

[trim sundial]

Somethings wrong with my factory. I re-designed it, cut out alot of excess smelters, set up the automation lines i wanted...then connected my assembly line to my power grid...and everything turned on, and is running, green operation lights across the board...i apparently didnt miss any belts or mess up recipe selection...its...running...perfectly with the first flick of the on switch...i feel this means i messed up somewhere...somethings going to go wrong

[hybrid nymph]

hmm sounds like you don't have enough power. Can I see a screenshot please to get an idea of what we're working with?

[gaunt sky]

I'm trying to get A power slug at appx 2600, -2560. I can hear it but I can't see it and I'm finding no other way into this cave area. Been looking for half an hour XD

[cunning glade]

Besides super computers and phase 4 parts do I need computers for anything else important

[gaunt sky]

Phase 5 6 7 & 8 parts.

[versed cosmos]

yeah it helps to hace a decently powerful computer facility

or you can produce on site theyre pretty simple

[cunning glade]

Wait Frick

I mean ig phase 4 of ele and like 7&8 milestones

[cunning glade]

That's what I'm thinking and I'm thinking idk tbh need too go research I'm think like 75 may be good

[native frost]

I have miss caluculaed the wet concrete refinery numbers

I made 96 refinerys not 128

[versed cosmos]

Jesus christ man what are you building

[cunning glade]

Okay so 75 may be enough considering rcu I can alt and not need computers

[native frost]

I like big numbers and i can build mini factorys with prossecced matrials

Ive built 192 refiarys for iron

No over clock

Cuz im a cheap bast

[dense violet]

you'd have to make a #1038092680493801533 if you actually want to try to fix it

[trim sundial]

Its ok i found it lol, not everything was actually belted lol

I knew it was too good to be true

Hey, if you have a really long belt, a short section and then a long continuance of that belt, does that short section effect speed?

[river latch]

Hello i am playing on Epicgames i deleted my play score is there any way to save my play score ?

[dense violet]

what's a play score?

[river latch]

i wanted to delete a savegame and deleted all 🙁

[versed cosmos]

oh my god thats tragic

[dense violet]

unless it went to your recycle bin it seems unlikely

[versed cosmos]

hos far along were you in that save?

[sick sigil]

any1 wanna play

[dense violet]

!lfg

[raven axle]

Hello there totally awesome user! You can checkout https://discordapp.com/channels/370472939054956546/1201555265942724758 and check the pins on how to find folks to play with. <3

[hybrid nymph]

I love this discord, I feel so appreciated, respected, and loved 😊😊

For someone like me with autism, having been treated like I was stupid my entire life, that really means a lot

[versed cosmos]

This is the place foe neurodivergents lol

[hybrid nymph]

I am a decent player at this game, I can't build elaborate things like some people do, but I do my best

At least I have fun

[versed cosmos]

Hey that's the ultimate goal

[pearl sparrow]

fun always comes first in gaming if you ask me

[versed cosmos]

And when you see things online remember those builds have gone through a "the internet would like this" selection process

You see more 50,000 MW rocket/turbo fuel power plants than beginner 5,000 MW standard fuel power plants even though the sexond one is overwhelmingly what gets built

[pearl sparrow]

I survived on 3k power until I got to fuel gens

technically still surviving on 3k power I haven't done much else since then

[hybrid nymph]

I just build 32 more coal generators

[versed cosmos]

just got to oil in my current save and got a basic setup for plastic and rubber while i get more hard drives

[rugged shard]

What is best way to get tickets?

[zealous urchin]

sink items
sloop dna capsules

[rugged shard]

Yea but

What items

[rugged shard]

I don’t have a lot of that

[zealous urchin]

all items and their sink value is listed on wiki

[rugged shard]

Oh okay

[zealous urchin]

playthrough wise always sink excess

theory wise idk but ive heard ballistic warp drives

according to Maxeek tame lizard doggos and hope for good items from them

oh and one trick u can make to ramp ur coupon production early is to sink uranium and sam ores

[rugged shard]

Dawg i never found any of stuff you said just rn😭

[mortal ginkgo]

early game, go for a hunt

[rugged shard]

Wym

[mortal ginkgo]

its exactly what I meant

[rugged shard]

Mmm okay

[zealous urchin]

big dawg

[mortal ginkgo]

Go for hunting.

[zealous urchin]

BIG DAWG vs nucular hog

who wins

[mortal ginkgo]

is it a question if answer is already within?

[rugged shard]

You tellin me to kill that big fat as walking creature

[mortal ginkgo]

yes. you go hunting. you get the remains, you make capsule, you sink it

[rugged shard]

Bro runs faster than speed of light

[mortal ginkgo]

I think not the grey whale thing

that doesnt give anything

but others, the ones that runs at speed of light at you

[zealous urchin]

no way he has ftl speed

[rugged shard]

Alien dna capsule?

[mortal ginkgo]

yes

[rugged shard]

Oh okay

Time to kill everything in my path

[unique pewter]

So when I click f to load items to tractor all it does is refuel it

[hybrid nymph]

I still need Turbo Rifle ammo

that ammo is busted

you can kill a nuclear hog with 1 clip of it

[unique pewter]

Ok now it work

[hybrid nymph]

You know how it's called a "tractor" as in farming equiptment?

[rugged shard]

Uh it doesn’t let me put the dna capsule to the sink

[hybrid nymph]

I wish there were attachments you could put on the tractor

[mortal ginkgo]

put a storage and connect to sink via belt

[hybrid nymph]

for example, you could attach a plow to the back of it to destroy all plants you drive over

[rugged shard]

Oh💔

[mortal ginkgo]

BIG DAWG

[hybrid nymph]

Space elevator parts are the best to awesome sink, especially those adaptive control units, or plutonium fuel rods

[mortal ginkgo]

not in his case, big dog is starting the game new

[hybrid nymph]

oof

that's rough

[unique pewter]

Uhh so I am building a highway from old base to a new spot. What is a good place near the rocky desert?

Coordinates if you can ye

[versed cosmos]

Good plaxe for what?

[unique pewter]

New base

Like minerals, maybe flat land

[versed cosmos]

To the west by the normal iron nodes

LOTS of flat land

And it's pretty central

[unique pewter]

#screenshots message out that way?

[hybrid nymph]

I love this game, Satisfactory is love Satisfactory is life

This is my all time favorite game on Steam

[versed cosmos]

I think so

[unique pewter]

Goodbye spaghetti factory

[versed cosmos]

I play in rocky desert too and I always start with pure nodes and then move my starter factory to that location

Because I want to build my motor factory on the pure nodes

[unique pewter]

Im just gonna make a highway to it, keep the factory, and have it transport the materials it makes

And I can always make another if it gets too slow

With better equipment

[unique pewter]

Do u want my coordinates?

-1685, -337

Cuz idk the map well

[versed cosmos]

cant access interactive map rn

but its like 5+ normal iron nodes around a tall rock formation

2 normal copper nearby

limestone down by the coast

[unique pewter]

Oh ye btw what the heck is that one red bamboo forest with them fast jumpy dudes that whipped my ass

[versed cosmos]

its called the red bamboo forest lol

[unique pewter]

I killed one with a basher and died

[mortal ginkgo]

#satisfactory message

basically this

[versed cosmos]

i run up there as soon as i get the chainsaw and get a full inventory and that usually gets me though to coal

[unique pewter]

Ye i did that too lel

[rugged shard]

Ain no way that ticket machine is so greedy

[mortal ginkgo]

big dog above causally goes to a late game area to get wood

[versed cosmos]

the factory needs fuel

[mortal ginkgo]

BROTHERMAN JUST GO FOR COAL OMG

[unique pewter]

First time I was fine, made it back, second time I was tryna get DRG tape and had to go thru it

Second time I died

[versed cosmos]

that one trop to the red forest gets me to coal without having to harvest biomass again lol

[mortal ginkgo]

I hunted animals for biomass.. it was way faster imho

[scenic mirage]

im so excited for my 2nd playthrough

gonna start in the desert i think

[unique pewter]

Do u perchance know the coordinates of the area u were talking about? Doubt it but just wondering

In case u have it written or sum

[versed cosmos]

no

i think ive described it well enough

unless ur actually in dune desert lol

[unique pewter]

#screenshots message

im in hur somewhur

Is it that weird rock thing with bridges near the bottom?

Nvm there is nothing near it

[versed cosmos]

go west and north a bit

[unique pewter]

Out west there is no resources at all

[versed cosmos]

there is

[unique pewter]

According to map

[versed cosmos]

you have normal nodes turned off

[unique pewter]

Oh

Its near water too nice

[versed cosmos]

yeah

that limestone node makes wet concrete a breeze

[unique pewter]

Is it a good late-game?

[versed cosmos]

late game you'll be all over the map

[unique pewter]

Oh wait there is no coal?

[versed cosmos]

there's coal to the north

[scenic mirage]

theres coal all over the map

northwest has a good spot for early coal power

[unique pewter]

Thats gonna suck to get to my base

Might just use a splitter and tun multiple teir 1 conveyors since they cheap

[scenic mirage]

you dont have to bring it to your base, just run some power cables 😉

[unique pewter]

Wait thats actually smart im dumb

Wait what is different abt higher teir powerthingies? I assume connection points

[scenic mirage]

yeah you can connect more cables to it

[unique pewter]

Ah

[versed cosmos]

You'll end up with factories and power plants all over the place

No need to connect it all up to a central location

Once you get trains then distant factories need to start working together, like for computers oil and copper aren't really near each other in any good place on the map

[lilac bear]

All my power is connected, but that's it.

If you have trains, the rail will double as power cable.

And somehow there's no limit to the amount of power a single cable can handle.

[lilac bear]

Indeed. Lots of resources. #screenshots message

[versed cosmos]

yeah that west coast area is awesome

[lilac bear]

Resource wise it's an incredible starting area.

More iron, copper and limestone than a starter factory needs.

[versed cosmos]

The flatness is what really draws me to it

I start with the pure nodes in the south of the desert but that area is pretty narrow before you start running into the lake and cliffs

[lilac bear]

#screenshots message Here? Not a bad place for a big base.

[versed cosmos]

yes exactly there

If I really wanted to I could fit some train stations in and create a central storage

[unborn vessel]

which is better Caterium wire or Fine concrete?????

[versed cosmos]

Leave them in the MAM

It excludes those recipes from later hard drive scans so you have a better chance to get the alts you want

[unborn vessel]

...

but i have another hard drive

[versed cosmos]

If you want a straight answer, caterium wire. Quartz is fairly scarce and limestone is everywhere.

Just scan it

You don't have to select a recipe

[lilac bear]

You can scan all of them without picking a single one.

[unborn vessel]

nvm

thanks guys

[versed cosmos]

👍

[unborn vessel]

im stupid

[versed cosmos]

pioneers strong together

[unique pewter]

Do vehicles pay attention to each other?

[lilac bear]

They crash into each other.

[unique pewter]

Bruh, how am I supposed to have multiple of them load then

[versed cosmos]

Vehicles take a lot of tweaking to make work right

[lilac bear]

One at a time. As long as they go in a circle the same way they don't crash.

[versed cosmos]

Most people actually just avoid them completely and use a belt bus if you need long distance transport

Or jump straight to trains

[lilac bear]

Trains have signals that help.

Personally I just belt everything 🤣

[versed cosmos]

Trains also get very good throughput

[lilac bear]

Oh, and drones don't crash into each other I think.

Unless they changed that, but it used to be that they couldn't hit each other and would use a holding pattern when their target was already occupied.

[lilac bear]

The opposite of fine concrete, cheap silica, can be useful.
