satisfactory

[dense violet]

you can buy the parts to unlock the milestones

[feral jay]

They think because they play Minecraft without issue, that they can play any game

They will soon learn what computational firepwer is

[zealous urchin]

that moment when i needed to buy more ram bcs of minecraft

[rustic hare]

meanwhile I'm searching for how to use dlss upscaling and frame gen on minecraft java

[hasty stump]

if their computer can't handle feeding every ore node into massive belt superhighway, then what good is it?

[topaz dawn]

I might look into that. ticket prices get insane tho

[feral jay]

It's not my problem, that's what it is. THe time is comingf soon enough anyway when they'll want real computers, I may just be hastening it.

[brazen coral]

Are there Mark 3 pipes in the game or is mk 2 the last?

[jagged nymph]

buying parts with tickets is suck a waste

[rustic hare]

mk2 is the last

[jagged nymph]

mk2 is best

[feral jay]

No, Mk.2 is the last.

[rustic hare]

I agree, all tickets should be spent on the cyber wagon

[hasty stump]

with all of their satisfactory experience they will be well equipped to apply for real jobs in real mines

[feral jay]

If you ask for Mk.3 pipes, you're fired. WIth extreme prejudice.

[dense violet]

you'll get lots 🙂

[jagged nymph]

if you need to you can use packager

[brazen coral]

I'm asking cuz I thought there was, just got bottlenecked on fuel otherwise xD

Well until I start making ionized

[feral jay]

I hook up every factory to a sik this save, so tickets go brrrrrr

[dense violet]

you can just make smaller sections
hell, you could easily just use mk1 pipes

for everyone except pure oil nodes

[brazen coral]

Well I get that but I have just the entirety of this portion only making fuel and fuel related things

[dense violet]

ok? break it up into smaller sections xD You want smaller sections anyway, easier to manage back flow and to trouble shoot

[brazen coral]

I'll just break it up into whatever one blender can handle for rocket fuel

I think it's like 35

[jagged nymph]

use a packager to package it and transport it with a factory cart. never use stinky pipes

[brazen coral]

I mean it's a gas so it's not going to be slowed down by pipes

[feral jay]

#screenshots message holy crap that's a flat power graph(I'm bragging)

Still early gane

[jagged nymph]

man thats the second flattest thing ive ever seen

[marble flame]

I finished hub tiers 1 and 2 and finished building the space elevator. It says it need 50 smart plating but I have 0 clue as to how im supposed to get it. when interact with the space elevator it just says awaiting delivery. So do I just await delivery (assuming the delivery is the smart plating)

[brazen coral]

But I'll actually start making ionized fuels soon enough now that I am able to get powershards made

[rustic hare]

you are the deliverer, the smart plating is made in the assembler

[hasty stump]

you can belt it or hand-carry it to the space elevator

[feral jay]

It's my challenge this save - no machine can ever idle, with the exception of sinks/trains/drones/accelerators and stuff like that

[jagged nymph]

"nothing can idle except the stuff that idles"

[hasty stump]

i love idling crap when it's not needed, spares me having to upgrade power as often

[feral jay]

Yes, anything that idles must be isolated on its own grid

[marble flame]

@rustic hare what does it cost to craft them in the assembler, I havent crafted one yet so i dont know where to place it in my factory

[rustic hare]

place down an assembler and check it's recipe (or just use the codex)

[hasty stump]

you can build an assembler and select the recipe to see what you need, or you can just go to the wiki

[feral jay]

I did that my last save, now I want a new challenge

[hasty stump]

fair fair

[feral jay]

I have all my sinks on an independent grid and I can shut each and every one of them down with the flip of a switch

[rustic hare]

I don't let things idle cause I want my outposts to have a flat metric of "consume this much material, spit out that much, constantly", easy to calculate resource distribution instead of "yeah the RMS usage of that plant is that much"

[feral jay]

It's not just "no machine can ever idle", it's also "consumption must equal max consumption"

[rustic hare]

exactly

always max efficiency

[feral jay]

(after variable draw stuff is filtered out)

[rustic hare]

my power graph is relatively flat too, except for legacy factories that I haven't revamped yet

[jagged nymph]

my power graph looks like a mountain range on all my saves

[feral jay]

/end bragging about my crazy challenge

[zealous urchin]

[rustic hare]

people say don't remove your old plants, just build new ones elsewhere, but I want to keep the infrastructure clean, with as much nearby nodes utilized via latest infrastructure as much as possible

[zealous urchin]

people say is imaginary

its they them reaponsibility shifting thats only in ur head

[rustic hare]

but yeah I keep tearing down old factories, build fresh shiny ones on top of them, massively higher throughput, more beautiful decorations

[zealous urchin]

what if

new method

place foundations on top of old factory

and build new on platform

blanket on trash method

[hasty stump]

like cheapass roofers installing a new roof on top of an old one

[zealous urchin]

yea

greek not paying housing taxes method

infinite construction

[runic path]

what hub upgrade do i get generators?

[hasty stump]

not quite infinite, apparently there is a maximum height above which you die

[primal obsidian]

what generators, fuel generators coal generators

[runic path]

anything besides the one on the hub

[zealous urchin]

yea but its so high up

[jagged nymph]

well the first gens are still just biomass burners, and next ones after that is coal which is fully automatable at tier 3 or 4 (cant remember which one specifically)

[hasty stump]

if you're doing the tutorial, it unlocks about halfway through

if you skip the tutorial you should be able to build them right away iirc

[cunning glade]

Yk Everytime I see foundation in this game I can only think of the foundation 3 show anyone else?

[worn spire]

How am I supposed to get 1k tickets for the golden nut :(

[hasty stump]

kill a lot of wildlife

[worn spire]

I found a place w 6 irons ores, should I use that

[dense violet]

if you need that much iron? sure

[cunning glade]

Make parts have the parts have an overflow

[worn spire]

I mean for the ticket thingy

[cunning glade]

1k actually isn't that much tbh

[worn spire]

Rn I'm feeding it with plastic and rubber

[hasty stump]

iron ore doesn't have much coupon value though

[worn spire]

👁️ 👄 👁️

[cunning glade]

Coupons

[jagged nymph]

but yknow what would have alot of coupon value?

[hasty stump]

from the wiki: "Alien DNA Capsule: If you use a Somersloop for both steps of processing, it would take near 35 full containers of Alien Remains to afford the 1,000 tickets for Golden Nut for the Achievement. But your first container of remains will net you 168 tickets."

[jagged nymph]

golf balls

[worn spire]

oh it's different?

[cunning glade]

More complex = more points

[hasty stump]

yeah in general lower tech stuff is worth less in coupon value

[jagged nymph]

yeah for example space elevator parts are worth alot

[worn spire]

Any?

[worn spire]

Does wiki have a list

[worn spire]

THat's a lot

[hasty stump]

it has a formula but not a complete list, see https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/AWESOME_Sink#Coupon_cost

it does have a list of some recommended stuff for farming coupons though, see https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/AWESOME_Sink#Farming_points

[marble flame]

how big of a deal is it that i lost 5 blue slugs and 1 orange one

[unborn vessel]

wrong chat😁

[unborn vessel]

how do you lose them?

[worn spire]

there's many of them, and you can craft it in the distant future

[marble flame]

fell off cliff

so not too bad

[worn spire]

activate keep inventory

[marble flame]

oh bet

[hasty stump]

there's more slugs in the game than you can probably ever use

some people collect them and put them on little conveyor belt carousels though

[marble flame]

i also just turned on retaliate for creature hostility

[unborn vessel]

ima do that. put it on a endless loop on display in my base with lifts

[worn spire]

AI limiter seems the way to go

or uranium

but that's late game 😭

although possible to automate into tickets

so silica, AI limiter and uranium

[unborn vessel]

i cant find citerium anywhere

[hasty stump]

if you do the "no idle machines ever" thing then you'll be sinking all kinds of crap all the time

[unborn vessel]

if i cant find it i cant make ai limiters

[worn spire]

there's some at the bottom left

[unborn vessel]

really

[worn spire]

also bottom right

[hasty stump]

seems inevitable you'll get to the golden nut

[unborn vessel]

im top left...

[worn spire]

where did u spawn 😭

can't you use the scanner? for some reason I could scan them before unlocking them

[teal geyser]

You shouldn't be focused on getting 1k tickets right now. That will take a long time

[worn spire]

thatt one is on the floating island, there's like the gas stuff thingies, some iron and I think coal nearby it too

[worn spire]

yeah true

I should get past phase 3 first

[primal obsidian]

how many iron wire constructors do i need for 1 cable constructor

[worn spire]

you can check by placing one and setting it iron wire and see the output per minute and do the same thing for the cable constructor and see, sorry don't have the exact amount rn

[teal geyser]

MATH WILL TELL YOU

[primal obsidian]

8

[teal geyser]

YEAH, WHAT THIS GUY SAID

[primal obsidian]

i think????

[worn spire]

8 seems like a lot

[primal obsidian]

8:3

probably or something

ok thanks guys

[worn spire]

I doubt it's more than 3 for the wires

2 max

[primal obsidian]

iron wire alt

[worn spire]

yeah ik which ur talking about

I got them recently too

But haven't used it bc copper ones give me more per minute

copper is 30, iron is 22.5

[primal obsidian]

iron is more convenient for me

[worn spire]

yeah it's way easier

[worn spire]

Oh yeah I rembered

[hasty stump]

iron wire recipe produces 22.5 wire/min, cable needs 60 wire/min, so you need 60/22.5 = 2.666 wire constructors per cable constructor if you use default clocking

[worn spire]

Yup I was right on point 2-3

so if you use 3 power slugs in the wire constructor it should be very near to 1:1

[worn spire]

you got it right too

[primal obsidian]

great so youre telling me i need 89.3333x constructors for the cable and the stitched iron plate

[worn spire]

with power slugs it's 89.333/2.5 😛

[dense violet]

it's relaly not

[worn spire]

is the rifle worth it

what weapon do yall use to fight

[hasty stump]

the rifle is great

i mostly use rebar and nobelisks though

[worn spire]

didn't know u could nobelisks creatures lol

[hasty stump]

oh hell yea, especially useful on the alphas

[worn spire]

whats the best ammo

[hasty stump]

drop about 3-4 nobelisks near them and detonate all at once, bye bye alpha

[primal obsidian]

ok so 56x constructors for the cable and the rest for other stuff

[hasty stump]

the explosive is good against spiders

normal rebar is fine for hogs and spitters

[worn spire]

that's a lot of nobelisks though, or maybe I havent automated them yet

[hasty stump]

yea automate them and send them to depot, you'll never run out that way

same with whatever rebar you're using

[worn spire]

whats depot

[hasty stump]

dimensional depot, you unlock it in the MAM

[worn spire]

I still need to craft rebar lol

[hasty stump]

it lets you upload stuff to the cloud

[worn spire]

Oh yeah I saw it recently, is it infinite?

[unborn vessel]

omg really

how do i get that

[worn spire]

I need the materias for it, but seems useful

[unborn vessel]

that seems useful as fuck

[hasty stump]

you have to find some SAM to start unlocking the tree

[worn spire]

with SAM

[unborn vessel]

wtf is sam

[worn spire]

it's like 3 nodes below

[hasty stump]

stands for strange alien matter

[worn spire]

You find it in big caves usually, bright purple

[hasty stump]

it's a resource node, shiny purple in color

[unborn vessel]

ohhhhh that

ok thanks

[worn spire]

Is it infinite, Bungo?

[hasty stump]

you'll also need one mercer sphere for every depot you build, so grab those whenever you find them

[worn spire]

Ooh that's how it works

[hasty stump]

no, it can hold one stack of each thing (you can upgrade to more stacks as you progress through the tree)

[worn spire]

btw when do u use soomerloop

[hasty stump]

basic idea is to send the output of each of your factories to a big storage container, and then connect the output of that container to one or more dimensional depots

[worn spire]

With this I wouldn't need the train right?

[hasty stump]

whenever you want to produce more of something from the same amount of input, like for example producing more power shards per slug, or more alien dna capsules per hog meat, etc

[worn spire]

Well not if I'm crafting it, but woul still use it to automate complicated parts

[worn spire]

OOOHH that seems so useful

[hasty stump]

you still probably want the train for moving ore and low level components around, the depot is for stuff you build by hand, the train is for supplying your factories with the inputs they need

[primal obsidian]

no you never need trains but you still need to transport stuff since not all resources are in the same place so you do need some way to transport

they worded it better

[worn spire]

It's such a cool game, I play on console so I'm trying to get platinum (0.1 of all console players have gotten it)

[hasty stump]

yea you can avoid trains entirely and just belt everything if you want, but it's very painful to add more capacity to long belts

[worn spire]

Hardest achievments are getting all mercer, soomer, crash sites, completeting the whole MAM tree, getting all milestones and buying the golden nut 😭

[hasty stump]

what's platinum, like getting all the achievements?

[primal obsidian]

i mean me personally im biased toward traisn because i learned how to use them early so i always use those over anything else

[worn spire]

Yes, it's a trophy Satisfactory gives you by getting all their set challenges/achievements that you can then display/flex in your PlayStation account

[hasty stump]

nice!

[worn spire]

They got like 50 trophies in total, I"m like halfway there 😭

[hasty stump]

i just have 7 achievements to go, including one bone simple one that i've just never got around to (get knocked over by a vehicle)

[worn spire]

I need to set them up, I'm currently only missing the steel stuff (which I got I'm just delaying)

[hasty stump]

oh, apparently there are also 3 hidden achievements as well, hmm

[worn spire]

Hahahha, where do you play?

[hasty stump]

PC

[worn spire]

I know driving the cyber truck is one of them

[hasty stump]

oh you mean which biome?

[worn spire]

I meant platform

Does PC not show you them? I can tell you what they are

[hasty stump]

i've only unlocked that recently, i try to avoid spoilers and only discovered its existence when i accidentally put a coupon into the storage container at my base that feeds into my sink

ada's all like "i see what you did there" and i'm "what?? what did i do?"

[worn spire]

Oh haha makes sense, same for me except just know 😬 only spoliers I have gotten are the cybertruck and just now with the soomerloops

[worn spire]

lol

[hasty stump]

sloops are great, another place i use them is for project assembly parts

[worn spire]

Yeah can't wait to use them, got like 10 in my inv rn

Alr gtg! 1 am rn, nice talking w u

[hasty stump]

cheers

[unborn nova]

is the object scanner always accurate?

im looking around for sloops rn and some of them are just not there

im standing directly on the spot with nothing above me

is there some weird cave entrance

yea ik but how do i get down there?

[sullen gull]

Can use SCIM to find the entrance if you must.

https://satisfactory-calculator.com/en/interactive-map#4.25;173146;173464|gameLayer|;caves

[unborn nova]

alr thank you ill try that

wow yea

thats crazy i found the entrace

a tiny sliver against the wall of the cliff cover by bushes

[jagged nymph]

/

[molten minnow]

my mindset over the 4 years ive had this save is to transport everything to my base by belt

[unborn vessel]

@lyric basalt how did you get so much power

[strong fiber]

Its the safest way

And the fastest

But also one of the most tedious

Late game you can just setup and drone and forget

[molten minnow]

though im slowly having to go further and further out to get the stuff i need since i dont want to tear up the stuff 2021 me built

[strong fiber]

i mean sometimes its better to restart

If u are playing the game for the first time in 4 years i suggest a completely new save but thats just me

but i dont know if you are or not not so

[molten minnow]

i think i stopped sometime in 2023, so only about a two year gap

besides, if i really wanted to i could just cut off all lines going to my old stuff and build new stuff on top, sealing away the old factory in the process

[reef basin]

Keep the old one working, build new

[ivory condor]

what if its nightmare spaghetti factory

[reef basin]

Still better than no factory

[ivory condor]

actually you would still want that working while you build replacement and or stock pile enough of those mats and dismantle and rebuild, either option can work

[molten minnow]

mild spaghetti

and i have part of the spaghetti products branch out to unspaghettid factories

[ocean frost]

Only factory that would be approved for demolition is a spaghetti pipe factory

[shell nest]

Is there a good way to jump start a fuel grid ahahaha I forgot to get rid of outputs and it backed everything up

[limpid orchid]

WAIT, Mercers Sphears just came with 1.0? ITS SO REQUIRED IN EVERYTHING. YOU HAD TO BRING ALL ITEMS AND HAVE TO FILL YOUR INV EVERY TIME

[ivory condor]

Yeah enjoy the dimensional depots

[cunning glade]

Yeah sometimes I wish they weren't added

Or u got them later

[ivory condor]

i remember the leaks before 1.0, remote storage that was data mined, ended up being the dimensional depots we have now, same idea anyways

[cunning glade]

But it is what it is and they're super nice

[ivory condor]

because they are a bit op right, yeah i think so to, but is what it is

i mean having essentially infinite supply of mats anywhere is...quite strong needless to say

[cunning glade]

Yeah basically I mean it's not fun running out of stuff

But it was a part of the game

[limpid orchid]

Just so people Suffer?

[cunning glade]

Like I said sometimes or a better u unlock them later

And no

It's just early game a key part of it was keeping what u needed on u once u get dd it doesn't really matter at all

[ivory condor]

not anymore

devs be like, heres unlimited supply of mats

[ivory condor]

should have played in early access, no zoop even, now enjoy placing each foundation piece manually and what you can only build has to fit in your inventory to

[bold heron]

yeah the dimensional depo was one of the greatest changes

[ivory condor]

now we have blueprints, so placing factory floors is fast and unlimited mats ontop of that, and we wonder we have fps when we can build everything crazy fast now

[bold heron]

but central storage rooms where cool

[limpid orchid]

Thats how i did it too in the beginning bc i didnt know zoop Existed.

[ivory condor]

yeah but now outside of if you really want to do it, central storage rooms are unneeded

[lunar osprey]

fixing your factory after liquid went live

[ivory condor]

because you just put down depots on your production lines, theres your central storage, thats everywhere on the map to

[bold heron]

its not really unlimited mats, depends on your production and/or upload speed. (i tend to have a buffer befor the upload so production is not nearly as relevant).
but whit large concrete builds or if i really build many expensive buildings like 200 flue power gens at once i run into shortages.

[lunar osprey]

ive always had the issue of everytime there is an update i go ok where do i wanna start my factory now......i have a problem i think

[ivory condor]

well 1.0 was the last major change to the game now though and i doubt the game is going to change that much going forward

[lunar osprey]

true enough i work so much its like binge play while im home then gone again lol

[ivory condor]

also everything is mostly finalized, though the devs are still working on improving the game but nothing major like 1.0, sure 1.1 brought qol changes but nothing factory breaking, etc

[molten minnow]

dear god i remember back in update 4 you could only place one foundation at a time

[lunar osprey]

every major update during Early access was like woo whats gonna break now probably why i just created new ones everytime lol

anybody here remember going vertical with chains of conveyor stands or doing walls in a big plus shape and spiraling all the way up

[ivory condor]

I have playing since early early access, so i remember how everything used to be

heck I remember when lifts werent even in the game and you had to do spiral belts just to bring mats up a floor

[lunar osprey]

thats what i mean

[molten minnow]

put everything behind walls, nobody will notice :trolley:

[lunar osprey]

i did a forest start and there is oil way down in the valley and before they redid the valley there were three nodes right there i had this massive spiral of belts for my barrels all the way up to where i was building my base

[ivory condor]

people that played forest in update 4 and tried to migrate those saves in update 5 were in for a world of pain

because thats when that entire forest biome was reworked, terrain, massive trees and all

[lunar osprey]

ive played one start in the fields the fact that pure nodes are few and far between there hurts my everything

[ivory condor]

i always start in the grass fields, my favorite biome

[lunar osprey]

i didnt bother when they redid the valley to what it is now before you had like 8 oil nodes sitting in shallow water easy access after that update i just went nope

i still have the habit to handwork most everything i can up to getting coal power i used to hate hand feeding the bio gens so much lol

[daring ravine]

Hi everyone i have a question where i can finde purple électrolimas pls

[dense violet]

Might need to translate that again

[lunar osprey]

Purple slugs can be anywhere in caves in rocks or in the ground with several of the higher tier enemies around them if that's what you mean if you mean SAM ore usually a node or two in every area but for me the easiest to access is the one in the cave near the second starting area

Also does ADA not talk anymore when you tell her hello?

[coral marsh]

Anyone else just sit on top of the Charybdis and just fly around the map?

[daring ravine]

Tks

[solemn edge]

should I exchange my reinforced plates for tickets? (I finished phase 2 and have nothing to do with them)

[red sun]

i've always kept no more than a container full of items or two, and sent all the excess to the sink

use a smart splitter with overflow

[dense violet]

you can use them to make modular frames

plus they're used in tons of build objects

[vague burrow]

Am I correct in saying that 300 rocket fuel per minute would go into 72 fuel generators?

[solemn edge]

Wait did-

Ohhh no no I mixed the item, they're smart plates

I have no actual use for them

[versed cosmos]

smart plates get used later but theyre p easy to make

[solemn edge]

I have a whole factory for it (which Im now reworking for motors)

[versed cosmos]

build your motor factory somewhere else

you need smart plates later

set up some smart splitters to sdnd smart plates to storage and overflow to sink

i think project parts are always pretty good for points

[solemn edge]

Im getting tired of using logistics vehicles on them

since Im gon get trains somewhat soon

[versed cosmos]

change it if you want ig

but you are gonna want more smart plates later

[molten minnow]

that reminds me, im definitely gonna want to start on the framework and wiring parts for project assembly, been holding off on those for way too long lol

[versed cosmos]

frameworks suuuck they take a ridiculous amount of steel

[dense violet]

frameworks?

[versed cosmos]

versatile framework

[dense violet]

not so much. have like 2 machines making them and you're golden

[young rivet]

I sommersloop & overclock everything tbh

[mint igloo]

hi

[ocean frost]

how much are you making?

[versed cosmos]

oh im done with frameworks now i was just responding to someone else lol

[young rivet]

The alien power augmenters are so awesome

[versed cosmos]

they're incredible

[young rivet]

Infinite power

Especially when I just dupe like 100 sommersloops, throw 10 down n call it a day

[versed cosmos]

Great for isolated grids or starting a new power plant

[young rivet]

Yessir

[dense violet]

jesus, just use the ingame creative mode

[versed cosmos]

Yeah if you're gonna dupe I can agree with that lol

Just give them to yourself with advanced game settings

[dense violet]

sloops and augmenters are already a soft creative mode mechanic

[ocean frost]

reminds me of the time the devs reset the map by mistake

[trim sundial]

Is it weird that i feel like playing Satisfactory has made me a better Factorio player? I find myself looking at Factorio differently now

[molten minnow]

is that why the caterium node next to my grassy fields base was re-covered among other things?

since that explains a lot

[ocean frost]

How so

[cursive crane]

Mercer and Sloops reset too, i was so mad I just started a new save when they did it

Coulda used a save with double the collectables [yes I know about scim]

[molten minnow]

now im starting to get annoyed because im forever gonna have slightly more mercer spheres and somersloops than im supposed to

[dense violet]

trash a few

[vernal marten]

Hey everyone, thinking about picking up the game today but I have a quick question. Is the Arabic language actually available in the settings right now? It's not listed on the Steam store page, so I just wanted to confirm before buying

Also, does the game have a 'true pause' in single-player where everything stops when I hit ESC? I need to be able to pause instantly. And regarding controllers, does it natively show PlayStation button prompts (Square/Triangle) or does it just show Xbox icons?

[dense violet]

it does not have a true pause no.
no idea about languages

but it's not really a game tha tneeds true pause

[steep dove]

so, how do i obtain the tapes?
for the boombox?

also jetpack hog thing, wheres the location?

i baught the tape, but wasnt given it

[scenic mirage]

yep arabic has 100% of the game translated 🙂

[dense violet]

some are found in the world
look at hte inventory page for bought items
jet pack hog is random

[grizzled lotus]

yes, it has Arabic and I've tried it. It's a community-translation but it's very good.
No true pause, but most of the game there aren't enemies around.

[steep dove]

any more.. common location?

[thick nymph]

guys, how many fuel generators i can power with one pure oil node? im gonna overclock it to 480 a sec

[reef basin]

depends on recipes

[thick nymph]

like?

[reef basin]

(also, I assume you mean 480/min, not 480/s)

[thick nymph]

yes

i mean, i have dilated fuel

[reef basin]

there's multiple recipes and multiple paths, also multiple types of fuel

[thick nymph]

i just need power and some rubber/plastic and fuel on the side

[queen slate]

Have you tried satisfactory tools? You can input your 480/min crude oil and put down how much rubber and plastic you want

[thick nymph]

like i dont even know how much i need😭

i have no problem with getting like a bit of everything

[reef basin]

then you should figure that out first. Without that you can't really get any answer

[thick nymph]

i actually have 2 pure nodes but im only using 1

[thick nymph]

idk what's a lot and what's not

i just started ouot not long ago

[reef basin]

well figure out how much you need now

don't bother about future

[queen slate]

I wouldn’t worry about how much you need

If you want you could do half and half

[rotund mountain]

Yo I totally forgot about flower petals lol why were they removed

[tall lantern]

so you can more freely customise what you build

[dense violet]

because painting doesn't cost anything anymore

[lyric basalt]

@unborn vessel lol 12 nuclear stacks running at 250% makes 75k ish then about 65k ish from turbo fuel , 7500 from coal generators and 30k from the Somer sloop power thingys ... uhm its all going to change though.. Just making the factory blocks right now to prepare to erase the entire map ... once thats done ill be running overclocked 20 nuclear stacks and maybe 300 fuel gens just as a start up station for the nuclear parts factory

[thick nymph]

Just tell me how many refineries i can power with 480 crude oil a minute and oll decide

Cuz yeah i need all 4, power/rubber/plastic and fuel

I need something to fuel my jetpack and cars with

[queen slate]

1 sec

Roughly 16

[reef basin]

again, depends on recipes

use planners to select recipes you want to use and gthe results you want

[queen slate]

If you have 8 on rubber and 8 on plastic you can use the hor to make fuel for you jet pack and your fpf

[white dawn]

You're going to want to plan things out properly rather than accepting rando numbers given to you on Discord anyway, so why not just start there? A solver like sftools (https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production) will give you actual numbers within a few seconds. Head to the "Inputs" tab to change how much oil is available, and start trying some things

(Though note that the "maximize" dropdown doesn't really play well with having more than one Output specified)

[queen slate]

Plus relying on other people won’t help you get better at the game as quickly as relying on yourself

And making mistakes is a good thing because you are less likely to make the same mistake again yk

[leaden turret]

if at first you don't suceed, try chewing. seeds aren't liquid.

I have started uranium fuel rod production (ahead of schedule but eh, idgaf

[queen slate]

Gj

[coral marsh]

Im producing enough per minute to supply 20 reactors per minute

[queen slate]

That’s gonna be a lot of nuclear waste

[coral marsh]

Oh im fully aware

I have plutonium fuel rod production almost fully setup

[warped scarab]

i was building my first train, but I couldn't dock on one of the stations and it always said "Station unreachable" why is that?

[golden nexus]

station pointing wrong way around

[warped scarab]

ok lol that has happend to me so many times

[coral marsh]

Im prepared almost for the waste count of 50 reactors

[glass pagoda]

Hello everyone

[queen slate]

Hi:D

[glass pagoda]

How's your power coming along

[queen slate]

I have 8gw of power

[glass pagoda]

Noice

[queen slate]

But I’m just about to finish phase 3 so I’m gonna need an upgrade

[glass pagoda]

I take it slow so im still working on phase 3 because I decorate and perfect my builds

[golden nexus]

Time to "outsource" all the basic build material factories 🙂

[glass pagoda]

It's also a lot of train spam so that's annoying

[queen slate]

That’s smart

I haven’t touched a single vehicle yet

[glass pagoda]

You will have to to make the space elevator parts

Unless you wanna do that by hand

[queen slate]

Already have it done by hand

[glass pagoda]

So you are done with phase 3?

[queen slate]

In like 2 mins

[glass pagoda]

Trains are a good thing to get into the habitat of

[queen slate]

I cant wait to finish but also I can wait because I like making stuff pretty

[queen slate]

I want the hovercraft thingy

[glass pagoda]

Drones?

[queen slate]

Jet pack ain’t doing it for me

[queen slate]

No I think there’s another thing

[glass pagoda]

You cant stand on drones

Not that I know of

[queen slate]

Hover pack

[queen slate]

Have fun

[azure garnet]

Nice

[unkempt blade]

use as many factory carts as you can once you unlock them

[azure garnet]

Thanks

[queen slate]

Don’t be afraid to make mistakes

[azure garnet]

I will make mistakes right?

[queen slate]

And don’t choose the 3rd starting location

[ornate saffron]

keep az open mind. You dont need to centralize everything. its not a base building game.

[glass pagoda]

Grass will not be touched for a while

[queen slate]

Everyone does

[azure garnet]

Alr got it

Thanks

[ornate saffron]

yes, when you do take the time to learn from them

[unkempt blade]

Except for me. Everything I do is perfect because it makes me happy

[queen slate]

Oh and don’t listen to everyone do your own thing it is ur playthrough

[glass pagoda]

Everyone is awaking to help capy

Hmm I’ll try do that

[cosmic stream]

turn it on and probably kill my batteries...

[unkempt blade]

and be gentle when petting lizard doggos unlike my nephew who is being a maniac with mine irl

[coral marsh]

build enough refineries to deal with the standard 100% clock speed output of 360 aluminium scrap per minute and figure out a good way to use the water bi product

[queen slate]

Ok ty

[ornate saffron]

#screenshots

[coral marsh]

@ornate saffron yes that is something along the lines if what i was thinking of, thanks heaps, will be doing that

[ornate saffron]

wet concrete is a method many ppl use for the water bi product

[cosmic stream]

uh i kinda got deflected by the space elevator station thingyhttps://discordapp.com/channels/370472939054956546/553550313533997057/1455576041375535260

[queen slate]

I think I have that unlocked

[coral marsh]

that is a good recipe

[unkempt blade]

the pure [material] recipes are also great or sending the water to coal generators if coal is nearby and unused

[ornate saffron]

for sure,

[cosmic stream]

how tf am i not dying https://discordapp.com/channels/370472939054956546/553550313533997057/1455576308808552591

and now i went into the huge ocean

[ornate saffron]

Last time i just ran it back in. but that is a advanced method. at somepoint everyone should learn but i dont recommend for new players

[ornate saffron]

have you tried using the power priority thing. you can segment your power grid out into tiers that way when things start shutting down do to power issues you can keep things like power station, Aluminium and other black start pain points powered

[cosmic stream]

i literally just unlocked expanded power infrastructure by handcrafting....

[coral marsh]

quick follow up, i'm assuming that layout uses mk2 pipes? since you can hook upa nd power 2 reactors off of 1 mk2 pipe

[golden nexus]

not you need to automate it anyway

[cosmic stream]

ik

[ornate saffron]

yes sir

[cosmic stream]

i just needed a few batteres

[coral marsh]

good to know

thanks again

[ornate saffron]

i currently not a active player so correct me if i am wrong. but two water extractors at 250% fills a mrk2 pipe ya?

[coral marsh]

You need 480/min

So 2 at 200% will fill 2 reactors

[ornate saffron]

gotcha

@coral marsh I wish you the best of luck. in my experience when you use that much fluid at once you are bound to spend many hours trouble shooting

[coral marsh]

Thanks and I am aware

[ornate saffron]

is this for Nuclear?

[coral marsh]

Yes

Considering how much ive built on the giant platform, im about 3/4's of the eay finished. The last things to do is place down the remaining 121 reactors, setup them all up with conveyors for waste and fuel, pipe them and setup ficsonium fuel rods

[shrewd mortar]

Hello, I want to know,

Do you need a high level of skill to make the Christmas tree and present the gifts in the MAM?

[pure snow]

how much aluminium should i be making for my first factory in this playthrough

[queen slate]

If I kill a radioactive guy will he respawn?

[golden nexus]

make 1 full nodes worth of ingots and then at least 1 of each thing until you realise what you need

[ornate saffron]

Set yourself a goal if you dont know what you need. I usually do one pure Bauxite node

[lilac bear]

Always carry your hazmat suit, stock up on filters.

[pure snow]

thats what ive done, do you think 120 sheets and 80 casing a min is good

[lilac bear]

Nobelisk anything that moves.

[queen slate]

There are 3 radioactive guys near this pure node

[pure snow]

they wont i dont think

[lilac bear]

That's with the elite stingers right? Nasty buggers.

[queen slate]

No the radioactive rock guys

[ornate saffron]

sheets are more often used then casing early on. by using one entire node and the nawesome syncing whatever you dont use allows for easier scalling if you do need to tap more nodes later

[final jetty]

the map changed quite a bit 😮

[pure snow]

i have a screenshot of the plan can i send it in screenshots

[ornate saffron]

hover pack and a ranged weapon can make easy work for most enemies

[lilac bear]

Keep in mind that you'll use the alclad sheets for belts. They go by stack of 200, which makes them very suitable to be used straight from the dimensional storage.

[queen slate]

I need beauxite to get the hover pack 🙁

[ornate saffron]

naturally lol

[lilac bear]

That's why I didn't start with the hardest bauxite node 😛

[pure snow]

i sent a screenshot in the screenshot channel, do you think thats a good plan?>

[queen slate]

Ig if I build high above them

[ornate saffron]

a floating foundation and a rebar gun will get you there ^_^

[queen slate]

Rebar gun or rifle what do ye use

[pure snow]

also whats an easy way to get rid of 120 water

[lilac bear]

Multiple ways, but you can even feed it back.

Just keep the priority order of junctions in mind.

[pure snow]

cba to do that

[ornate saffron]

rifle if i have it

[pure snow]

also it wouldnt be worth it i dont think, what other ways are ther e

[lilac bear]

Eh, you could dump it in wet concrete or something.

[ornate saffron]

wet concrete is many peoples go to

[pure snow]

is it an alt recipe

[ornate saffron]

likeyl

[lilac bear]

Ofcourse https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Concrete

[pure snow]

i g et the most useless alt recipes of all times

[lilac bear]

That's why you collect all of them, the good ones will come up once the bad ones are already in your hard drive library.

[ornate saffron]

they all have uses. it a matter of what resources you have vs the recipies you have.

[azure garnet]

Thanks i will

[ornate saffron]

just go hunting for harddrives and keep a eye out for wet concrete or any of the pure recipies

[fast ruin]

now i need azote, but i don't waana go again with 50km of pipes with 50pumps

[ornate saffron]

once i unlock refineries i tend to go hardrive hunting in general. A zipline tool and power pylons make the exporing quick and expands your energy grid

[fast ruin]

guess it's another 50km of train rail

[ornate saffron]

blueprints help a lot

[fast ruin]

i have blueprinte but elevation is a pain + seting up train stations

[ornate saffron]

ya it can be. You can follow the games natural dirt roads to make your life easier

[lunar osprey]

I'm a terrible planner Everytime I start a game I just go what's it gonna be this time lol

[queen slate]

Do conveyer lift holes not make a lift infinite?

[clever bear]

if someone german is seeing this what happend to the german satisfactory discord ?

[ornate saffron]

nothing wrong with vibe building. I usually make myself a bullet point list of what i want to achieve then i work with the enviroment

[ornate saffron]

they can if used correctly

[queen slate]

I think I used them wrong then

[lilac bear]

It's much more useful to learn English and keep all information in one place. Already we're too often telling the same story over and over again.

English isn't my first language either.

[ornate saffron]

you want to place the hole then stretch the lift to the hole

[queen slate]

Ah ok

[lilac bear]

As long as you're having fun 🙂

[clever bear]

yeah but still the discord was nice and its gone somehow

[ornate saffron]

i dm'd you a explainer

[lilac bear]

The worst is when people start asking the same question in multiple channels at the same time...

[queen slate]

I got it thanks

U explained it very clearly

[ornate saffron]

I'm Not confident in my ability to explain things lol

also not everyone can learn by reading some people need visual ads and examples ^_^ we are all diffrent

[queen slate]

All my machines are floating

[clever bear]

still no right answer btw

[queen slate]

#screenshots message my machines dont like foundations aparently

[golden nexus]

is that snapto / pressing control?

[queen slate]

Sorry I don’t understand

Oh

No it’s not

[golden nexus]

Press control for snap to...

[queen slate]

Sorry I’m a bit slow

[golden nexus]

Was there something there before or under foundation?

[queen slate]

Nope

Am I too high?

[golden nexus]

restart game 🙂

[queen slate]

Ok

[lilac bear]

As far as I know there never was an official German Discord. Perhaps you found an unofficial one and it moved on. We can not guess at what you were seeing previously.

[golden nexus]

I guess it wasn't efficent enough? 🙂

[lilac bear]

I do know there used to be one that may or may not still exist.

Probably has been at least one other.

[queen slate]

it worked#

[lilac bear]

But Discord is an odd piece of software that I have a complicated relationship with, so that's the limit of my answers on that specific issue.

[grizzled lotus]

up, my packager is invisible. is this a known bug?

is alumina solution the only way to use beauxite ore?

[lilac bear]

No https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Bauxite

[ornate saffron]

he beat me to the wiki resonse.

[queen slate]

i really should use the wiki more

[lilac bear]

But if this is your first time aluminum, you should probably use the Alumina solution.

[final jetty]

is there a way to sleep? go through the night

[ornate saffron]

ya, this is a great community but we expect people to do some research themselfs

[queen slate]

it is should i only make alumina solution?

[ornate saffron]

many ppl use a mod tocontrol the day night cycle as there is no native way to manipulate it

[golden nexus]

No, Ficsit employees are not permitted sleep, its in the contract

[lilac bear]

Sloppy Alumina is not a bad alternative, but the Instant Scrap is way more complicated and the Reanimated Sam approaches do not provide aluminum in the result.

[ornate saffron]

there is a alt recipe for instant scrap. and much later it is used for matter converstion but thatss it

[lunar osprey]

play for 20 or so hours and youll get a message saying a 15 minute break is allowed lol

[final jetty]

XD

[ornate saffron]

thats to comply with intergalactic law. the company doesnt want you to take breaks

[lunar osprey]

it did say allowed not mandatory lol

[ornate saffron]

like many evil companies, they abandon you \on this planet and when you reach all goals laid infront of you. they leave you there as they do not need you anymore

[lunar osprey]

im a truck driver thats just my existence

[real shale]

Can't you just record your route and autopilot? Smh

[lunar osprey]

roflmao if only it didnt change everyday

[ornate saffron]

i understand. I load trailers for a living

[lunar osprey]

oh in my case i do enclosed car hauling so thats a game in and of itself thats includes going into areas i really shouldnt be in

[queen slate]

I’m trying to run water vertically up but sometimes the pipeline floor hole don’t work

Any tips for transporting water vertically other than don’t do it

[lunar osprey]

usually i delete one of the pipes and put it back in and itll work

and alot of pumps to push the liquid

[green fiber]

use the floor holes for decor only and connect pipe to pipes directly

[ornate saffron]

i use the floor hole to hide the pipe clipping through the foundation

[thick nymph]

i have a problem that water doesnt want to flow inside refinery

[queen slate]

What do I do when a support is needed

[thick nymph]

its all connected and stuff but water doesnt go in

[long sentinel]

Hello, I'm on phase 3 and I've found a source of crude oil, but I can't place a well. How can I access it?

[ornate saffron]

did you make sure the well is clear of all obstructions?

[ornate saffron]

delete and replace

[lunar osprey]

if it isnt asurface deposit and its a presured deposit you got a bit before you can access that

[bold heron]

how long do a full biofule gen whit solid biofule last ?

[ornate saffron]

use the floor hole as intended and create short pipe runs on either side and continue building as normal. after everythign is hooked up go back and delete the floor hole (the connected short runs will delete too) then make a new pipe run connecting the two points

[queen slate]

ok

[ornate saffron]

early game you can feed 15 biofuel generators with mark 2 belts. make sure you balance it though. this should last you until coal

[hard ivy]

depends how much power you pull from it
also, it tells you how long a single piece lasts at full draw so just multiply that by stack size

[bold heron]

max power.

[long sentinel]

This isn't a spring like the basic one. It doesn't indicate whether it's pure or impure, and a rock covers it. It splits into five sections, each with small springs inside.

[ornate saffron]

the game tells you. youll have to do the math

[bold heron]

ok

[thick nymph]

doesnt work

[ornate saffron]

that requires a well pump. its later tech

[queen slate]

what do you mean by connected short runs

[ornate saffron]

this is a poor forum for this make a post in #1038092680493801533

[ornate saffron]

minimum distance pipes in each direction prefabley in line with eachother

im a complete dumbass, i conected water in the wrong hole😭

Its hard to describe but i find myself looking at the top down logistics in a competely different light now lol

[versed palm]

im gonna go crazy when all my Work to get 100% Efficency doesnt pay off

[molten cove]

should i make one big rp farm and take the output to the diffrent ones or make one for each farm

[hard ivy]

this is satisfactory, not satisfarm. we build factories here

also, this question doesn't have one correct answer

[ornate saffron]

a co worker is obsessed with efficency then gets made when he unlocks new recipies

[rigid imp]

Hi peeps, new to this discord... just started with oil production and stuff, do I want to pump lots of oil all into one place and then pipe it elsewhere, or go straight to the refinerys?

[versed palm]

yes-.

[molten cove]

i currently have one factory producing 20 rp per minute

im taking 5 for smart plating

and i will prob take another 5 for modular frames

[ornate saffron]

rp?

[molten cove]

reinforced plates

[versed palm]

i hate these guys screws grrrr

[golden nexus]

quite easy to deal with

[versed palm]

Relative

[hard ivy]

good news! you can make them without screws

[versed palm]

i have the recipie yes

still evil recipie lel

[ornate saffron]

i feel like screw get a bad rep. i make them when needed and the go directly into the machines needed. i dont try to move large quantities around

[golden nexus]

quickwire is worse tbh

[versed palm]

This game is my Worst nightmare yet i love this 🙏

[molten cove]

how do you get the other recepies

[golden nexus]

hard disks

[hard ivy]

nah, screws are worse because almost all recipes that use them are just awful. Recipes that use QW are all at least somewhat decent

[golden nexus]

Hi-Speed connector default is 210/min quickwire.

[ornate saffron]

find crash sites, retrieve the Harddisks then research the disks in the MAM

[molten cove]

eughhhhhh

colectibles?

[golden nexus]

yup

[molten cove]

i got the game to commit capitalism

not run around the map

satisfactory calculator hear i come

[golden nexus]

well you have to steel other IP first

[hard ivy]

you can just use AGS

[molten cove]

whats that

[hard ivy]

Advanced game settings

built-in cheats

[molten cove]

doesnt that only work during save creation?

[hard ivy]

no need to save edit

[hard ivy]

no, you can enable them whenever

when loading a save

[ornate saffron]

you are a worker not a capitalist in this game. you are a slave to ficsit

[tired cypress]

Yeah there's one for unlocking all recipes, that can be fun

[ornate saffron]

i got all the achievments and beat the game multiple times. then i made a creative mode save jsut to play around and make Blueprints. its a lot of fun

[golden nexus]

I want to see them add a different game mode which is more like tradables, which means expirenced players don't have to run the map

[molten cove]

the screw less recepie requires copper

fuckkk i only have one inpure copper node next to my base

[golden nexus]

Just deal with the screws, The stiched plate doesn't fit things very well

[hard ivy]

iron wire and it doesn't

[golden nexus]

Not hard to deal with the scews, just produce and consume them immediately #screenshots message

[hard ivy]

stitched plate is cheaper

I see no reason to deal with the screws

[golden nexus]

We had this discussion already. Its cheaper for materials, more expensive in every other way

[pure snow]

pure aluminium alt better than normal?

[hard ivy]

than default? stitched + iron wire is cheaper in every way

[final jetty]

what are gifts for?

[ornate saffron]

they are for you

[molten cove]

currently my rotor and modular frame factories are living off scraps from other factories

[untold oak]

Hey can playsation and pc guy play on onr server?

[final jetty]

but what can i do with them?

[golden nexus]

no crossplay support

[untold oak]

Oh thats gg

[ornate saffron]

ask the wiki. ive never played during the mas event

[molten cove]

i unlocked steel

[thick nymph]

im producing 240 fuel a minute, but i can only power 8 fuel generators, interesting

[untold oak]

Bruh when i look at screenshots then ik im still noob and need learn alot of things

[hard ivy]

you can fuel 12

[thick nymph]

ik but when i try they start working hella unstable

[leaden turret]

no server support at present for consoles either

[soft marsh]

It’s the Christmas event. The gifts are resources to use to make other items and progress through the event.

my iron ore is pure but coal is normal

[ornate saffron]

try satisfactory tool

it's a terrible calculator in general

[ornate saffron]

try satis factory tools in the advanced options you can tell it what resources you havve

[ornate saffron]

you can do maths in the quicksearch too

[thick nymph]

ye ik that

[leaden turret]

press N for Nalculator

[hardy moat]

n

its not working

[leaden turret]

in the game ¬_¬

[hardy moat]

oh

[rose steppe]

hello guys i figured some of you could help me with this issue of my
recently the powet went out at my house and my brothers satisfactory has not been able to reconnect to the epic account despite him already being connected to the epic app we are on console and have tried everything without it working

i probably shouldve put this in questions and help huh

[spiral wasp]

Is there going to be another update to the game?

[ornate saffron]

the next update is 1.2 we do not have a date nor any concrete knowledge of what it entails other then fluid trucks as far as i know

[spiral wasp]

Ah alr all i wanted to know is if they are going to keep updateing or not.

[leaden turret]

• some time between february and july 2026
• fluid trucks
• resource node randomisation option

[ornate saffron]

you can dive into the weeds yourself here #dev-streams

[spiral wasp]

alr ty

[grizzled lotus]

I got turbo rifle ammo. is not as good as it looks? feels like a sidegrade to normal ammo

[ornate saffron]

its the most powerfull ammo in the game i believe. it does have some downsides though. I use homing ammo myselfr

[spiral thunder]

So hey quiq question how does family sharing work on steam with this game?

[leaden turret]

same way it does with every other game

[spiral thunder]

You can just play as family member ?

[leaden turret]

if someone else is playing, you can't

[spiral thunder]

So one at a time?

[leaden turret]

that's how it works on steam, last I checked.

[spiral thunder]

Okay weird it lets me play with boundless like 3 ppl at a time

[fast ruin]

can factory cart be used to carry goods?

[leaden turret]

1 slot

[leaden turret]

looks like the feature changed a little since last I looked

[ornate saffron]

fun fact the factory cart doesnt need fuel but when going to a truck stop it will accpet fuel and that fuel will just.... disappear

[coral portal]

yo can anyone help me in satisfactory im new and everything is like super hard

[fast ruin]

i'm failing at train-ing cause i alway need 2 freight station at each train station or 2 station (1 load, 1 unload)

[ornate saffron]

take your time. its a automation game so you are working towards letting machines do the work. some math is required as you go. a notepad (digital or physical helps)

[coral portal]

oke

[ornate saffron]

two way single track trains do need multiple stations at each location. most people go for single direction two track systems. for example forward is always the right side track for me

[ornate saffron]

if you are struggling with specific mechanics or knowledge we can help. checking the wiki first is suggested

[stray summit]

satisfactorycalculator is great

for cheating....

[fast ruin]

#screenshots message
well, what i need is organisation and conseling

[ornate saffron]

its a little cramped. You have lots of space both vertically and horizontally. you don't need to make everything tight. give yourself at least double the space you think youll need. this will give you space to upgrade move and trouble shoot

[stray summit]

im a model train expert
i bet this game will be easy!
(proceeds to fckin botch the entire thing)

[fast ruin]

i tried, multiple time

but i alway end up clamping stuff

[ornate saffron]

I often suggest people try and get the height limit achievement

itll give you a sense of how much space you really have ^_^

[golden nexus]

what is it your making in that?

[ornate saffron]

haha, Many of us come into this thinking itll be a piece of cake then you are up at 4am trying to figure out something in a stained shirt smoking

[stray summit]

you dont have refined limestone knowledge?
🙁

[fast ruin]

usually i made a few separated factory for specific items, but when i need to get some material to a certain place i end up spaguetting near the end

[golden nexus]

A trick with trains is to put the factor on top of the station

[ornate saffron]

i had many issues with spacing. Then i started relying on the blueprinter. then i started to think of builds in blueprinter foot prints

[fast ruin]

like i have a factory that produce steel pipes and beam that is isolated and then bring it to main factory with truck

[stray summit]

or you can just Lets Game It Out-ify it and try to have 3 train stations shoved within eachother while also having 721 cargo cars on your singular train

[fast ruin]

but then i end up with a lot of conveyor trying to get it from the station to the multiple assemble/manufacture

[primal obsidian]

ah

[fast ruin]

i have a factory making 1.4k screw, but then i need 3km of conveyor to get it to others parts of factory

[ornate saffron]

once you get trains down it becomes easier. you can start layoing out factories on a floor to floor bases. personally i try to make it so all inouts come from one direction and outputs to the opposite direction. then i make a logistics floor above and below every manufactoring floor

[fast ruin]

also i can't limite the flow of item to what i really need

[ornate saffron]

why not just move the materials for the screws then build them where they are needed. moving large amounts of screws really clogs things up

[feral jay]

You could say it screws things up

[fast ruin]

rightn ow i have a problem with encased beam that i need to send to a train, but the conveyor keep sending them reagardless of if i need or not

i can't automate anything

[ornate saffron]

is the issue loading or offloading?

[fast ruin]

loading

[primal obsidian]

trains

or yknow just transport the rods and make screws at the place you need them

[fast ruin]

it's loading too much cause i can't tell it to stop automatically. too close to use train with the screw factory

[stray summit]

dad joke spotted XD

[ornate saffron]

to much? as in you want some beams to go elsewhere? if so you may need to make a balancer using splitters, mergers and diffrent conveyor speeds

[fast ruin]

the main difference i have with the previous game i was playing is that you had automation to only deliver what you need. In satisfactory it's "Send too much always then sink the rest"

[white dawn]

Centralizing screw production is always a recipe for pain. (I'd argue that centralizing any production tends towards pain as well, but it's particularly pronounced for high-volume items like screws)

[cunning glade]

Chat pure iron ingots are amazing

[fast ruin]

but then instead of having 1km of converyor with screws i have 1km of conveyor with iron ingots

[cunning glade]

Only need 4k iron a min for 50 hmf a min

[grizzled lotus]

boy, the red forest is so beautiful

[white dawn]

As to how to "limit flow," just have a set of machines making exactly as much as the next step needs. No belt limiting required! Use overclocking/underclocking as needed

[cunning glade]

False

U go thru the forest and run into giant spiders also u can't see shit

[white dawn]

So don't build those factories 1km away from their nodes. :)

[mortal ginkgo]

no u

[cunning glade]

Is pure aluminum ingots just as good

[feral jay]

And so peaceful

[fast ruin]

i can't build them close cause i have others factory that already use also screw

[cunning glade]

What do u need screws for

[golden nexus]

testing belt performance

[white dawn]

Have each factory make its own screws, and site those factories near the nodes they need. :)

[ornate saffron]

iron is the most plentiful resource. I tend to just tap a new node when i need more

[white dawn]

Opinions on the "pure" recipes are far from universal, btw. Some folks hate 'em. For aluminum specifically, the Pure recipe lets you avoid silica (quartz) usage, at the cost of Bauxite efficiency

[cunning glade]

How much bauxite do I lose

[white dawn]

If you want the most aluminum out of your bauxite, then the Pure recipe isn't for you. But if you find the simplification more important, then it can be useful

[ornate saffron]

liek most recipies its a matter of what resources you have access to and ones you prefer

[cunning glade]

I see I may not end up using it then

[cunning glade]

Actually it's a matter of what tools tells me I need lol

[white dawn]

sftools can help you do that math. :)

(or just the wiki / codex)

[ornate saffron]

when i use tools i usually tell it what i have and not let it tell me what i need lol

[hard ivy]

when I use tools I look for a spot that has everything it tells me I need

[cunning glade]

So I have another question would it be better too train 6k copper factory and have it be its own factory or should I make it all in one spot and just train the ingots there

[cunning glade]

So real

[ornate saffron]

depends on you really.

[cunning glade]

Well I have all the alts I can have so I do the same for it and say how many I need a min

It gives me the best recipes or whatever

[cunning glade]

See my thought is that's a lot of copper powder

I think giant copper ingot factory

[ornate saffron]

What I mean is I usually know what i need to start with as i do a lot of the that side of the work personally. i just use tools to figure otu the ratios and number of machines. then i often change things around myself by doing the over clocking math and such.

[cunning glade]

I need 15k copper a min

[hard ivy]

It gives you the most resource efficient recipes.

But that's not exactly "the best"

Sometimes you can spend less than 1% more iron to save 40% on the machines

[ornate saffron]

i made a giant copper works in the dune desert my last playthrough and just trained the ingots where they were needed. SOOOO MANY REFINERIES lol

[cunning glade]

Yeah in total I'm gonna need non overclocked 1200 something refineries

I'm thinking I overclock cuz that's a lot of refs

[ornate saffron]

ya, slooping slugs helps. or just making powercells if oyu are that far

[cunning glade]

Efficient resource wise or machine?

[cunning glade]

Phase 4

This is for 30 nuclear pasta a min which then gets slooped too be a full mk1 belt

[ornate saffron]

i prefer lowest possible quantity of machines personally

[ornate saffron]

i did that last playthrough too

spreadsheets help lol

[cunning glade]

I prefer resource efficiency

Mainly cuz I like mass producing

[hard ivy]

I mean lowst machine count is usually not far from lowest resource usage

the more resources you need the more processing you need for those resources

[ornate saffron]

thats okay we are not all perfect ( i kid)

my favorite part of this game is that there is many solutions and approaches to the tasks

[feral jay]

BZZT, WRONG!

The only right way to the play the game is my way. All other ways are wrong.

[fallow oasis]

is it possible to place things on a foundations and have them at angles other than 90*?

[feral jay]

Try rotating while holding CTRL, some things force right angles though

[ornate saffron]

yes, ther is a few youtube guides on the subject look for new ones as updates have made it easier

[cunning glade]

True doesn't mean it's a good way tho

[fallow oasis]

ctrl or lock don't do it

[sick falcon]

what the hell happening in phase 4 😭

[ornate saffron]

the good way is the way the player gets enjoyment from it

[ornate saffron]

thats a end game thing lol

[mortal ginkgo]

I might be w0ng but machines are forced on 90*degrees

[ornate saffron]

also its a choice. you can get away with making far less

[cunning glade]

Nothing much just getting a full mk1 belt of a phase 4 and 5 space ele part

[fallow oasis]

i want to place a hyper cannon blueprint at other angles than 90* ;' ;

[sudden flint]

is there an anti-snap on foundations option?

[rich current]

Toggle Snap is a thing

[sudden flint]

not that I'd use it, but it's an intersting thought

[mortal ginkgo]

Everyone knows its a must to make 60/sec Nuclear Pasta late game, cmon.

[rich current]

Fairly certain at least

[cunning glade]

Lock it in place and rotate it?

[cunning glade]

Real

[ornate saffron]

you still havent evolved past impure? hopefully 1.2 will help

[cunning glade]

The 100gw it uses I believe

[sudden flint]

there isn't enough cooper in the entire world to do that

[fallow oasis]

the snap doesn't effect it

[mortal ginkgo]

THATS A LOW BLOW BIG DOG 😭

[mortal ginkgo]

There is 🙂‍↕️

[sudden flint]

that's the honest truth useless node

[fallow oasis]

lock doesn't even allow me to spin it

[cunning glade]

I only use 15k that's a ⅓ of it kinda there's 36k I believe

[mortal ginkgo]

OI OI OI

[cunning glade]

Uhh idk I play with infinite nudge

[rich current]

I still appreciate you though.

[cunning glade]

Or whatever mod that changes it so

[pure snow]

whats the best alt recipe for turbo

also is turbo heavy fuel worth it over original

[ornate saffron]

define best do you want resource efficiency ?

[rich current]

So, if we take a picture in game using the UI, where do those show up in the file explorer?

[hard ivy]

If we're talking about making it to burn directly for power, I'd say none of them

But default is the only one that makes any sense, even if it's very little imo. The others are just bad for power

[pure snow]

alr

rocket fuel is good for power though?

[ornate saffron]

i like Nitro Rocket fuel. I feel its too good

[hard ivy]

Amazing. Both recipes for it

[clear tartan]

so does water work the same as water nodes

[cunning glade]

What

[pure snow]

ok thanks guys

[ornate saffron]

are you asking if water extractors work the same as water wells?

[cunning glade]

I mean ig yeah

[clear tartan]

didnt know the name but yes

trying to make my way to the dunes

[leaden turret]

answer in #faq

[ornate saffron]

once the water is in the pipe.... yes but the Water wells work on total pressure and purity wher water extractors are simple

[clear tartan]

how would you know the pressure though

[rich current]

Shoulda figured. Thanks!

[ornate saffron]

from the Well pressurizer you place

[clear tartan]

oh

what tier is that from

[queen slate]

Are valves useful or does no one use them

[ornate saffron]

its pretty late youd have to check the wiki

[clear tartan]

ah

[ornate saffron]

generally speaking it is suggested you do not use them

i have in some niche scenarios but i try not to

[feral jay]

They generally cause more problems than they solve, and it's not at all obvious or intuitive

[mortal ginkgo]

they are okay to use to force fluid move in certain direction

[feral jay]

Even then, they'll cause problems. It's better to simply design the pipe network to force a given direction in the first place

[cunning glade]

I've been told even then they don't always do that and also pumps for that tbh

[plain gate]

most people misunderstand what valves do

[feral jay]

Yes, because complex fluid dynamics, they in practice don't actually stop backflow in a lot of cases

[mortal ginkgo]

well I dont have problem using them, I dont use them everywhere but still, they aren't THAT big of a problem in my humble limestone node opinion 🙂‍↕️

[feral jay]

Oh I use them too, but quite sparingly

[plain gate]

you never need to force fluid flow, if you have a closed pipe network the suction will work on its own

[mortal ginkgo]

sometimes my pipe dont succ 😔

[feral jay]

I do use them with VOP junctions

[clear tartan]

i came across radiation by accident

well uranium

[grizzled lotus]

bauxite exploitation not going as planned. they're so far off and setting up power is becoming a bit of trouble

[ornate saffron]

by they do you mean the nodes of Bauxite?

[grizzled lotus]

yes

I found one spot and thought it was good, then I realized it needed power since it was so far off. when I built my rail halfway I think I was building at a different angle lol

[ornate saffron]

that is intentional. The game is setup in such a way that it makes you master something before moving on. in this case logistics

[ornate saffron]

the game has a natural road way. building your logistics along them may make it easier. Ill dm you the detials

[clear tartan]

whats the hostile mob where it makes the radiation meter go up

[ornate saffron]

all the elite versions of Creatures

[clear tartan]

oh

[spare cradle]

Steel production is a go :D

[ornate saffron]

woot woot

[tough dune]

??? drove tractor through invisible water and now its stuck

[feral jay]

lol, just dismantle and rebuild it

[ornate saffron]

that sucks, Ive never had invisible water issues at sclae. justa the water in one cave

[fluid stag]

how are the fluid mechanics in this game? would i be able to pipe water long distance? (started in grassy fields and the nearest coal patch has no water near by)

[spare cradle]

The off the cliff into endless void one?

[primal obsidian]

copper

[fluid stag]

yep

[feral jay]

You can pipe water a long distance, but it's very, very much not recommended

[leaden turret]

someone wrote a manual for them. (linked in #math-and-meta pins)

[coarse egret]

i am cooked if i am already tired for create aluminium ?
