We shall not engage with the beast

[frosty bloom]

If Elixir wants to craft all by hand, let him. It´s not our time. But stop whining out it. Yes, i know your trolling, but, can you just stop that bullshit?

[glass pagoda]

Let the beast starve

[eager harbor]

I am not trolling I swear

Also guys what is difference between solid steel and normal steel and which one should I automate when I get infrastructure

[frosty bloom]

You were telling that you needed 4000 screws, like 3-4 hours ago, and your still at the same part.

[oak nymph]

Should I put the correct belt or just put the highest end belt I got cause right now I'm putting mk4 belts on everything

[eager harbor]

I needed that for MK2

[feral jay]

It's pointless anyway, the whole point of not being able to handcraft project parts is to force people to automate

[dry cradle]

#Dontfeedthetroll

[glass pagoda]

He's adding nothing to the chat a big nothing burger

[golden nexus]

Well look at the numbers. Iron alloy wants 40/iron and makes 75. So you get 480/40 = 12 foundries. Which makes 75 each. The best belt number is 450/75 = 6 and 12 * 75 = 900. So thats 2 of your belts sorted out you make the foundries face away from each other and you get 2 belts automatically. If you put this in a basement you get this pattern for free (its same pattern as solid steel).

You have an additional belt as well to get to 1350? That how i would break it down.

[glass pagoda]

Ur right but it gets to a point

[eager harbor]

Which is better solid steel or normal steel

[golden nexus]

To be fair, the level of questions your constantly asking are at this point considered "trolling", your just quick firing questions into the chat which you need to learnt o answer yourself, I think people are getting tired of it. So you probably need to ask more specific questions in #1038092680493801533 from this point forth, i will certinally be ignoring you

[glass pagoda]

Should we call a mod

[dry cradle]

Everyone just block @eager harbor

[dry cradle]

Probably

[eager harbor]

It says I need a tag when I post a question

[golden nexus]

Don't think its at that point yet, Its nothing a cold shoulder won't fix.. Its probably more a maturity problem tbh

[glass pagoda]

Yeah your right but if it continues I might have to call a mod

[eager harbor]

Idk how to post a question it says I need a tag and it won’t let me

[upper gale]

It's crazy I saw him actually making some iron plates with it too, absolutely insane

[golden nexus]

So the way to deal with is it get the person to put effort into their questions rather than just respond to any "quick fire questions". Where its obvious the person needs to play the game more themselves

[eager harbor]

bro can u just tell me how to put a tag in posting a question

[fading whale]

Now who's trolling? 😄

[dry cradle]

Tbh I don’t even think they HAVE played the game

[golden nexus]

So its the x/y software issue, the first thing you do is teach the person to ask actual question with effort

[glass pagoda]

True

[eager harbor]

Bro can u just tell me how to input a tag that allows me to post a question in #1038092680493801533

Pls I won’t ask here anymore

[golden nexus]

Its general parenting/managment 101, Reward the behaviour you want more of, ignore the behaviour you don't

[glass pagoda]

Phew

[brazen cove]

will my conveyor auto snap to my conveyor mounts from blueprints?

[ember moon]

it should if you enable autosnapping when holding the blueprint out

[hardy vector]

Don't you have eyes`?

[fading whale]

Only if that mount has one open end of a belt.

[eager harbor]

I tried the tags they not working 😭

[hardy vector]

then better quit computing 😂

[brazen cove]

oh so i have to make at least 1 conveyor for my blueprint for it to autosnap? alright

[eager harbor]

I don’t take computing

[fading whale]

Correct. Belts can only snap to other belts. Not mounts or splitter/mergers.

[golden nexus]

person is trolling / attention seeking

[ember moon]

at this point your either actually trolling or not even old enough to be in discord

[glass pagoda]

I am going to politely ask you to look things up instead of bothering us or I will call the mods for you misusing channels

[brazen cove]

alright thanks

[eager harbor]

Bro am not just stop okay

Its the level of question, there is zero effort on their part to learn / research / figure out on their own. We can't continue to feed that

I got nothing better to do atm so just chatting

[glass pagoda]

<@&387163995947270144> elixir keeps asking questions in the wrong channel and is clearly trolling as for the past hour he has been asking simple questions about the game im very sorry to bother you guys with this nonsense

[ember moon]

my dms are only open for moderator buisness (outside this server) and people I know who are over 18

[eager harbor]

I asked in correct channel now bruh

I didn’t know how

[glass pagoda]

You asked one in the right Channel and 99 in the other

[eager harbor]

I didn’t know there is a channel for qns

[dry cradle]

Convienient how now that we call a mod you suddenly whip into shape

[eager harbor]

It wasn’t showing I had to press browse channels and enable it

[glass pagoda]

You did i left a link to it responding to multiple messages of yours

[eager harbor]

Nah even before bro check I was asking for help on how to post a qn

If u guys hate me that much am leaving

[eager harbor]

When u sent it I asked on how to post a qn

[upper gale]

He's not really breaking any rules imo it's all of you getting triggered over his simple questions. Just leave it alone if you dont wanna answer

[eager harbor]

I didn’t know how to add a tag on mobile

[glass pagoda]

We dont hate you its just this behavior is childish we have google for a reason

[eager harbor]

Sorry man it’s my first time playing a game like this alright

I am just a fresh guy who just started playing

I never played things like this before

[dry cradle]

Then do research on your own

[glass pagoda]

Don't act oblivious you play games to understand them you dont just spam questions and when you ask people for help then just say no to their advice every time it shows you are a troll

[ember moon]

guess who just built a coal generator without coal nearby :D

[glass pagoda]

Mistralol is cooking somthing up

[upper gale]

I wanted that to be a rick roll lol but that one is good too

[golden nexus]

You need to go play the game a bit until you understand it, or use google, watch youtube tutorial, Its not fair on people to be asking such basic level questions about the game and then offer responses like "But hand crafting is king" as a responses. Its obvious its trolling at this point, its being disruptive to the channel, its causing problems, I would also like the <@&387163995947270144> to step in at this point. Is like your baiting people for attention. So i think the channel as a whole would benefit you from being removed for a period of time.

We have asked you at this point to raise specific questions in #1038092680493801533 You stirring up a lot of drama which is of topic, Your attempting to play the victim for the consequences of your own immature behavior at this point. At this point the problem probably needs addressed by the mod team.

[eager harbor]

At this point u need to look at the bright side

And stop blaming people for trolling when all I did was ask genuine qns

[dry cradle]

None of your questions were genuine

[glass pagoda]

MISTRALOL COOKED

[eager harbor]

All were actually

[golden nexus]

Lets play the game of "It wasn't me and I didn't do anything wrong officer"

[hardy vector]

We hinted you many times to just play the game, use your brain, do some searching by yourself, but you refused. So all your question turned into trolling

[vapid venture]

guys could i connect 3 smelters to a miner that produces 60 iron?

[eager harbor]

Let’s play the game it’s none of ur business leave it to the mods and I will accept any decision

They take

[hardy vector]

place a smelter, selecte recipe, look at the numbers, do the math, you got an answer then

[dry cradle]

No, the rate would be too low

[vapid venture]

ok ty

[ember moon]

alot of this game works in multiplees of 30 and 15

use maths to be able to actually claculate what you need

[golden nexus]

until suddenly its 18.75

[hardy vector]

It is our business. We tried to help you, but you constantly refused to be helped after asking the basics of the basics you'd have discovered if you played the game

The jumping one are smart and the sound they make when walking is so scary

[glass pagoda]

That's why I use aracnaphobia mode

[dry cradle]

There are huge ones too

[vapid venture]

was it that one guy that kept asking if he could ask some questions in dms or what

[dry cradle]

Yes, and asking questions that could be learnt by playing the game

[golden nexus]

Asking questions then rebutting the response. So things like "why automate" "crafting is king" and such things like that. Which is just using peoples goodwill as bait to get engagement and then use that engagement against the person to troll.. Its a attention seeking behavior or trolling. Either way asking questions and then refusing answers there the answers are not "subjective" is 100% a nope.

[oak nymph]

What they are more? Where

[vapid venture]

oh so he was just ragebaiting

[glass pagoda]

No its just being childish

[vapid venture]

or should i say, trying to ragebait

[vapid venture]

k

[brazen cove]

but do wires auto connect just like conveyors in blueprints?

[upper gale]

Nah

[brazen cove]

alright thanks

[golden nexus]

Its like yeah, new players ask for general help here, which is fine but when its the same basic questions like "What this, What that, Whats this other thing" about every single thing... then nope there a point where the questions are just not genuine or coming across as genuine. So the request was to move to ask more specific questions in #1038092680493801533 which of course is then met with rebuttle because the trolling i now long functional because its in the mainstream channel and they are no longer the main character. Its probably best to "move on"

[ember moon]

Pretty much any wire won't connect to another wire automatically but conveyors will because they have actual connection points

[brazen cove]

ah yeah that sucks, i wanted to make something like a custom electricity tower with a conveyors, and thought that wires have to do the same, but nope

[oak nymph]

Where are the elite gas stinger at I want to avoid them

[clear tartan]

so could i run 10 fuel gens on 5 refinerys if im doing the crude oil recpiie

because i make 200 fuel a minute with 5 refinerys

[hardy vector]

Do the math with Satisfactory Calculator or Satisfactory Modeler or other tools or on paper

[clear tartan]

i mean i did

[ember moon]

I know it sucks but just make the smaller things that matter like this 4 way power grid I made that can be universally accessable #screenshots message

[hardy vector]

so what's the question then, if you already have your answer

[clear tartan]

wouldnt i do fuel per min divided by 20

[brazen cove]

yeah it doesn't really matter to me, i'm still going to wire everything manually and it wasn't all that important

[hardy vector]

hä?

[clear tartan]

how can i figure out myself how many i can supply it to

i make 200 fuel per min

[hardy vector]

Place a fuel gen, open it, look at the numbers

[frosty bloom]

200production / 20 drain = 10 gens

[clear tartan]

so its just machine numbers i need to do it with

[hardy vector]

there is a small icon at the empty fuel slot, if you hover over it, it tells you the usage per min for each fuel type

[hardy vector]

why would you?

[clear tartan]

singular pipes arent enough for it

for mk1 pipes

[tall lantern]

then just do more than one

split it up so you're not needing more than 300 in any one pipe

[hardy vector]

As long as one gen isn't consuming > 300/m (even nuclear doesn't), you can do everything with mk1 pipes

[clear tartan]

makes sense

[ember moon]

who poinged me in screenshots and forgot to attach an image

[tall lantern]

type it in

[ember moon]

like the 133.33333

Type in the Target MW section

[hardy vector]

I can do what head explodes

[covert quarry]

and the 🌎 keeps spinning

[hard ivy]

a nuke plant does consume more than 300/min when overclocked

[ember moon]

You don have to type it in clock speed

if you want the exact value of what you need do it in Target MW

[hardy vector]

yeah, I talked about baseline 100%

[tall lantern]

most numeric inputs can be typed in. They can even accept basic formulae like 400/3 or the like

[upper gale]

Yeah I used the slider for a long time before learning you could just type it in

I remember trying to get the slider in the perfect spot for those decimal numbers

[eager harbor]

Phase 3 is advanced right so u must have train by now?

[hard ivy]

I'm still trainless in phase 5

[eager harbor]

whatttt

[twin helm]

Is there a way to replace all of one skin of foundations to another skin at the same time?, kinda like how you do it with swatches?

[golden elbow]

I could rush trains and make a few to transport oil, but I'll be manual crafting like, everything

so probably not a great idea... ANd I'm not sure where I'd put the oil processing ,anyway.

[hard ivy]

I belt everything

[twin helm]

BUS

[eager harbor]

Bruh whattt

[hardy vector]

Yeah, with the customizer under materials

[eager harbor]

Does truck act like a train?

[hard ivy]

no, no bus

[golden elbow]

Yes, but my experience with tractors (their predecessor) they're... unruly

[twin helm]

Like change all previously places concrete foundations to grip metal ones for example?

[eager harbor]

Can’t I just make my steel farm by using tractor to transport iron

[eager harbor]

Sorry am not really good in english what does unruly mean

[exotic wolf]

How do i uhh, delete a dismantle crate that is UNDER water?

[hardy vector]

Try it. it works like swatches

[upper gale]

Do you use any supports for the conveyors or just the one that comes with it by default?

[golden elbow]

You totally could, I just prefer the certainty of X items per minute are arriving constantly, instead of buffering

[golden elbow]

I find them to be a little buggy

[eager harbor]

Oh so belting is preferrable?

[golden elbow]

Again, up to you. WHat phase are you on?

[hardy vector]

I use the stackable conveyor supports most of the time

[eager harbor]

Uh almost phase 2 I almost done with tier 4

[upper gale]

Same

[hard ivy]

mostly the default ones but I sometimes use stacked or ceiling ones too

[twin helm]

Struggling to figure it out, like replace ones i already have down?

[golden elbow]

Honestly, you'll probably only need like, 120 steel per minute, so not much iron

[hardy vector]

Yeah, like you would color them with swatches, you can change materials with the customizer

[eager harbor]

Is there a certain range for power towers?

[dim flint]

Yes

[twin helm]

I can only see apply to hotbar mats and place shortcut?

[golden elbow]

I don't know the exact number, but poles have a limit, yes, towers extend very far

[hardy vector]

wiki power tower

[golden elbow]

For something ~2500km away, I only had to use like, 8?

[dim flint]

Max wire length between towers, not total grid distance.

[eager harbor]

Oh so it can handle 600 meters?

[golden elbow]

Oh easily, you'll only need like 2 or 3

[hardy vector]

300m according to wiki

[hard ivy]

4 of these are wrong lol

[ember moon]

oh really?>

[golden nexus]

theres only a handfullof places you would use a balancer

[tame jackal]

i need to split 37.5 into 11.25 and 26.25

[hard ivy]

me. assuming you want an actual balancer, not some weird ratio/rate splitter

[tame jackal]

uhm

[tame jackal]

look up

[fast ruin]

3 water extractor for 8 coal gen

[tame jackal]

should i just overflow it?

[hard ivy]

yeah, no, that's not a balancer lol

https://icemoonmagic.github.io/Satisfactory-Splitter-Calculator/ can give you a solution, though it's unlikely to be the simplest one

[tall lantern]

any particular reason not to just manifold it

[tall lantern]

(or just don't combine them in the first place)

[tame jackal]

i have a max overclocked steel beam constructor, should i just make 2 at different clock speeds and manifold those?

[magic rune]

hmm... is it really not possible to make full throughput with fluid trains? like if i have exactly 400/m input into a station, and i'm needing exactly 400/m output at another station, is the output guaranteed to eventually starve (even spread over multiple fluid platforms at both ends) due to docking time delay?

[eager harbor]

I don’t understand how conveyor pole works?

[hard ivy]

it's always possible. you might just have too few platforms/trains

[golden nexus]

You were told to take questions t #1038092680493801533

[eager harbor]

Ok my bad

[tame jackal]

it made a slightly overclomplex but functional one for me

[clear tartan]

is it better to have longer pipes between fuel gens

[magic rune]

with one train, the input platform is not fully filled before the train has arrived again (in other words, the train is able to "zero out" the input station every time), so i don't think it's a matter of "need another choo"...

[hard ivy]

did you buffer the platform?

and use both inputs/outputs?

[magic rune]

yup, buffered at both ends. the rate from the platforms should be 200/m per platform (400 total over both), so i'm assuming double outputs wouldn't make a difference, the output platform's already empty before the next train gets there

[dim spoke]

do i want to automate smart plates, stators, motors, automated wiring, ai limiter and encased industrial beam

every one of those

;_;

[magic rune]

in fact i actually have a rather gihugic buffering at the output, like several of them on each level of my turbofuel facility. that's actually what tipped me off to the problem, the top level - where the train comes in, letting gravity do the rest - had emptied the buffers entirely

[hard ivy]

no, no, yes, no, yes, yes

[dim spoke]

hmm im gonna need like 3 diff nodes just for industrial beams

[tall lantern]

sounds about right

[ember moon]

dawg ive been making blueprints for 24 hours how the fuck

[hard ivy]

2 if you use alts

[kind sentinel]

Where can I get saves that people share?

[tall lantern]

ask the people sharing them

[snow apex]

[magic rune]

look for the alt that lets you make encased pipes, the return rate is so much better on steel pipes

[grim estuary]

Why is my energy production lower than my capacity? I just made 4 coal gens

the game grew a Plot™

[golden nexus]

Moslty late game / T8-9 changes

[tall lantern]

probably still got biomass burners somewhere

[golden nexus]

Quantum depots, summer sloops

[hard ivy]

probably because you have biomass burners on the grid

[grim estuary]

But they're running

So shouldn't the production still be higher?

[hard ivy]

the biomass burners?

[grim estuary]

Yeah

[hard ivy]

at 100%?

[ember moon]

#screenshots message dawg hgow has this happened

[grim estuary]

Yeah

[golden nexus]

biomass produce to meet demand, so it doesn't burn though fuel rapidly

[grim estuary]

Oh

[reef basin]

game got easier

[golden nexus]

So demand = whats your using, production = what your making and capacity = what you have hooked up as a power source

[grim estuary]

So if I go over production, will it increase the production?

Of the biomass burners

[reef basin]

only if the biomass burner is not at its capacity

[hard ivy]

yes, until you go over capacity, then the fuse blows

[tall lantern]

if you go over your coal gen production but stay within your overall capacity, yes, the biomass will (try to) turn on

[grim estuary]

Epic

[clear tartan]

i can transport anything i want with trains cant i

[grim estuary]

Well I'm not going over capacity any time soon

[tall lantern]

wouldn't bet on that 😛

[golden nexus]

So if your coal make 1000 and you use 1000 none of you bioburners will be used, if you have an addtional 500mw of bio burners when you use 1200 you use 200 from the bioburners

[grim estuary]

yeah, so you have 450MW of coal power, that won't last you long

[hard ivy]

well, until you fill the line with so many trains they can't move

[tall lantern]

but hey, you can just expand that coal power when you do approach it

[ember moon]

okay ?Fixed that Also out of curiosity how would I go about moving blueprints to a different savew

[clear tartan]

or make a train so heavy it cant move uphill

[hard ivy]

just add more locomotives

[ember moon]

is it litterally just drag and drop or is there more I need to do

[clear tartan]

im on about a lets game it out style train

[grim estuary]

Is there a way to blow up breakable rocks without Nobelisks

[ember moon]

no

[hard ivy]

explosive rebar

[grim estuary]

Dang

[clear tartan]

nukes

[upper gale]

I gotta try that

[grim estuary]

I have a coal vein nearby an iron vein and it's blocked by a dumb rock

And I need to set up steel

[golden nexus]

Got sulphur?

[hard ivy]

handcraft 1 nobelisk

[grim estuary]

I need steel pipes to research it

I don't have steel up rn

[golden nexus]

yeah i have a end to end solution for you

but you need sulphur

[hard ivy]

you can handcraft those too

[ember moon]

we all have the same map where is it specifically

[grim estuary]

100 pipes

[golden glacier]

Wgen does the christmas stuff end

[grim estuary]

#screenshots message

On the grass map

[golden nexus]

So dump down about 20 portable miners on the coal beside hte rock, get some sulphur, when you get back all the portable miners will be full, hook them up to a foundtry to make steel + pipe, combin the coal+sulphur to make powder to do research and you have noblisk researched

[upper gale]

I have the same reaction

Sees a rock
"Dumb rock"
Blows it up

[grim estuary]

I don't have to ability to blow it up yet

I marked the wrong thing

[hard ivy]

you don't need to blow it up to place portable miners on it

[upper gale]

Yes at that point it just stops at

"Dumb rock"
And then you walk away

I always automate nobelisks

Just gotta eventually

[golden nexus]

i was pointing out the nearest sulphur node to you btw

[grim estuary]

The one you showed me is what I already had marked lol

[golden nexus]

Now.. get out you crampons and go upwards lol

[grim estuary]

What

[ember moon]

48 stacks of wood can creat 96000 charccoal

[hardy vector]

buy some at the awesome store?

[grim estuary]

I haven't cared to set that up because I have nothing to feed into it

[ember moon]

neveer buy resources at the awsome store

create them

[upper gale]

I'm on that boat too. Gotta save the tickets for other stuff
Oh I mean couponss

[hardy vector]

You have every thing. Your container full? Don't let the belt stop, fill the overflow into the awesome sink

[grim estuary]

I found a different spot to set up steel production

[golden nexus]

Are you in the grass fields?

[grim estuary]

Yes

[golden nexus]

setup steel in the south / south east of gf

[grim estuary]

I'm already setting it up

Wait that might actually be where I'm setting it up lol

It's not

[golden nexus]

If you look at map you will see another coal node to the far east as well for a 2nd steel setup, there is also a sulphur node over there for noblisk etc..

[grim estuary]

#screenshots message

That's where I'm setting it up at

Where I'm standing

[golden nexus]

yeah that works too

[ember moon]

I feel like if I was going to make a world that just focussed on Optimizing and making everything possible as fast as possible it would take hella planning

[golden nexus]

It doesn't 😉

[ember moon]

consider the amount of resource nodes

[golden nexus]

I read "making everything as fast a possible" meaning time to complete automation to a reasonably level as quickly as possible to complete the game

[ember moon]

Oh shit I meant Efficiently and as optimized as possible dso every node is used at its full potential

[golden nexus]

You get contradictions

things become mutaully exclusive. Like you get to do X but not Y

[ember moon]

I with thinknig every region would have a specifc train setup for every resource

All resources are rtansported to one spot byut several means so theres no clogging

And the map is used so well to the point theres maximum production of almost everythinfg

It's a steamdeck so I doubt it's too bad

Is this a one o or two o "too"?

[leaden turret]

Also somehow, that wall has exactly 20 indust storage

How is it moot ):

[gloomy tusk]

God damn I hate auto movement with trains

[leaden turret]

is still pay to win with extra steps 🤷‍♂️

[gloomy tusk]

Says the station is unreachable for no reason 😔

[leaden turret]

reason is usually "you built it backwards"

[covert quarry]

so i have a biomass burner connected to itself, 1 miner, 4 smelters and 5 constructors totaling 11 connections and my biomass burner keeps shutting down(i use biofuel😭 ) indicating its not strong enough, is the only way to make it stronger by placing more biomass burners or is there another solution? prehaps a better one

[calm mango]

Random rock in the middle of the way:

[gloomy tusk]

It goes through a mountain

[calm mango]

Then that's probably the rock

[gloomy tusk]

More

Or power slugs to overclock

[ember moon]

you need more biomass burners

or your not generating any power

One biomass burner makes 30 MW of power

[gloomy tusk]

Or power slugs

[ember moon]

4 Makes 120MW of powe

see what I mean

Get your Rations right!!!!

[calm mango]

Place more but speed run objectives to get to teir 3 for better options

[gloomy tusk]

My grid is 4000 mw is that good

[ember moon]

Tier?

[covert quarry]

i don't have that unlocked yet

[gloomy tusk]

I’m currently at tiers 5 and 6 and working on phase 3 of space

[gloomy tusk]

Yes you do

[covert quarry]

yea i'm trying to find another solution than more biomass burners

[mellow mason]

any way to rotate stuff on a sign 90 degrees? for a portait sign?

[gloomy tusk]

It’s called the mam

[covert quarry]

oh those

[ember moon]

id suggest making at least 10k MW of power for tier 6 if not

[gloomy tusk]

What power should I make

[fading whale]

You can rotate a sign. But no what's in it.

if i put three train locomotives would that prevent it from filling up the first two freight platforms?

Fair enough. Everyone can miss a word.

[gloomy tusk]

There’s only 3 oil spills

How do I fit that many

[clear tartan]

i dont see why you would need buffers on a railway

[magic rune]

...yeah, it looks like my oil train station is only delivering 380/m in and out (two platforms of 190/m each) when it "should" be a full 200/m per platform, simply due to the unload lockout time on both ends...

[gloomy tusk]

Screenshot sent

[fading whale]

@idle flame #screenshots message
If you get power, it's good enough 🙂
Looks clean too.

[hardy vector]

Play the game and see for yourself

[clear tartan]

are buffers important

[frosty bloom]

If you math it, then they arent important

[spare cradle]

Steel cast plates?

Otherwise steel rotors

[fading whale]

If you are running a tight line aiming for exactly 100% efficiency, they can be.
Personally I try and use less than 100% of what I am producing so I will always produce a bit more than needed.

[reef basin]

fluid buffers? no, pointless, apart from train platform buffering
solid buffers? the same, plus storage of parts

[silent heron]

Hey just wanted to say this fixed all my issues, thank you very much :D

[severe pewter]

If I were to build a loop of tubes as a personnel accelerator, how long would it take for my speed to escape the loop, or does the speed eventually cap out?

[gloomy tusk]

You can’t escape the loop

Only with pipe direction changes

[severe pewter]

Bummer. You can see the game trying to throw me out too

It does seem like the speed's hit a limit anyway

[fading whale]

There are too many ways to make those to give you a clear answer.
Best is to look it up on youtube. And SAVE before testing anything.
Many examples of players getting yeetet off the map or getting stuck in loop for ever 😄

[severe pewter]

Always

[gloomy tusk]

Also there is a respawn button in the menu

[sour cedar]

Quick question I’m trying to draw my friend and says something backend session

Sorry, I don’t know what that shit was but I meant to say join not draw

[severe pewter]

Just restart probably. The game also does better over ethernet vs wifi

[sour cedar]

Yeah, did that already

[gloomy tusk]

Is your friend close to you

[sour cedar]

No, he’s in America. I’m in Europe.

[gloomy tusk]

That makes it more complicated I think but it’s not impossible

[sour cedar]

Ok

[gloomy tusk]

I have played with some of my American friends and I live in Australia

I’ll check how it’s set up

[sour cedar]

You actually not that far from your party each other as you think on a flat map it looks like it, but

Sorry, something is wrong with my shit. I meant to say you actually not that far apart.

[severe pewter]

It works the same, I helped a dude on the opposite end of the world. Connection strength is the key.

[gloomy tusk]

I had 400ms of ping

[sour cedar]

What

[severe pewter]

Those are Runescape numbers

It's not an fps or racing game, so doesn't matter as much. Mostly only hurts when loading areas or someone dies

[ember moon]

I might have rambled a bit too much

But there you go

[remote kraken]

My game has offically pooped out

Autosave is amazing

[ember moon]

Thats it Im making a world specifically for blueprints

[fluid crow]

I did that on a different similar game before

[gloomy tusk]

I only have mk 1 pipes

[vapid venture]

how do i get more points for the awesome sink

[ember moon]

mk1 still work

[ember moon]

pretty sure theres a wiki page listing all the amount of points an item gives

[vapid venture]

wdym an item gives

[ember moon]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/AWESOME_Sink

[tranquil smelt]

should i make iron using the alternate foundry recipe, or normally using smelters :D
im straying towards using foundries because of the increased item output, but it's so hard to organise neatly 😭

[severe pewter]

Higher tier stuff is more points. My sushi factory's producing a little of everything up to (but not including) aluminum. Because everything always has to be moving, the unused goes to the sink. That nets about 700k/min? Or is it per second

[ember moon]

minute

[vapid venture]

that still doesnt tell me how to put items in the sink

can i put it in manually

[ember moon]

do you have an awsome sink placed down

[vapid venture]

or do i have to do it w a conveyor belt

[vapid venture]

ya

[ember moon]

conveyor

[vapid venture]

oh alr

[tranquil smelt]

sinks only work with conveyors, you cannot manually put items in them :D

[vapid venture]

that kinda sucks

[severe pewter]

By belt only

[mellow mason]

any way to nudge lift splitters?

[fading whale]

Yes. But not if you are placing them on a belt (where they auto attach)

[glass pagoda]

What up

[glass pagoda]

Did mods come?

[fading whale]

Not that I saw. And our friend did show up a bit later with more (less "noisy") questions. But can't tell if anything went on behind the curtains.

[glass pagoda]

That's so weird that the mods dont show up

[mellow mason]

but you cant not place them on lifts?

[glass pagoda]

They got a ping from 2 different ppl

[fading whale]

You can place them and nudge them. And THEN connect belts 🙂

[fading whale]

You said lifts. My bad. On lifts you can only do on an existing lift. And thus not be able to nudge them furter.

[severe pewter]

-random note, but it is weird that when you're far enough out of bounds, the menu & hud disappear

[mellow mason]

damn, they should prob just add the ability to place them on their own

[fading whale]

Would be nice. But placing them on lifts in the first place is a fairly new feature. So might still be under development.

[dry sage]

Are blueprints usable between game saves or just the one they're made in?

[glass pagoda]

It makes sense because there is no need to have that code running down there if basically no one will see it

[fading whale]

You need to manually (from outside the game) copy from the once save folder to another.

[hardy vector]

You should see their thread in #1038092680493801533, it got quite noisy too

[fading whale]

I'm ok 😄

[glass pagoda]

I wish the mods could see

[hardy vector]

And playing victim rn in the thread again

[soft marsh]

Debating getting rid of my drone ports and either running more trains or just running pipes across the map

[fading whale]

I will refer back to the video I posted earlier. And I suggest for your own sanity's sake, you take it to heart 🙂

[fading whale]

Drones are cool though.

[severe pewter]

I mean, my frame rate is phenomenal right now. Wasn't sure if the avatar stopped moving, but the fog's been slowly changing colors

[soft marsh]

The logistics of the drones are a pain tho. Each drone area has multiple ports just to be able to run one item

[fading whale]

I thought that was part of the fun? 😃

[severe pewter]

Do you suppose they were made difficult because it's 'wireless'?

[golden nexus]

Ru trains and free up the drone fuel supply again

[soft marsh]

I'm thinking about it

[golden nexus]

They really good at pulling in a small number of high value items a long way, but useless for anything with high rate

[gritty sleet]

It'd be neat/kinda funny if there was a "trash chute" belt addition, that only goes down, and gets aimed like the jump pad does. Dumper at the top, catcher at the bottom, for getting stuff down from resource nodes at the top of cliffs.

[soft marsh]

I use them to bring packaged nitrogen to my power plant

so I have rocket fuel powering them that comes direct from the plant

problem is the logistics behind the loop of containers for the RF

[eager harbor]

Is there a way to destroy rocks?

[thorny magnet]

are they any reasons for me not getting crystal computer recipe in the MAM after rerolling for a while or is it just unlucky

[thorny magnet]

nobelisks if they are cracked

[eager harbor]

What

[thorny magnet]

research sulfur in the MAM

[eager harbor]

Oh

[fading whale]

If the rocks looks like it has cracks in it. It means is it exploadable.

[eager harbor]

That’s hard tbh

Sulfur research is far for me

Any other way

[thorny magnet]

just put some portable miners down and do it all manually for now

[thorny magnet]

no

[fading whale]

No sulfur. No boom 🙂

[eager harbor]

Portable miners can destroy any rock?

[thorny magnet]

no just put them on a sulfur

[fading whale]

No. They can mine. No sulfur. No boom.

[leaden turret]

use ficsmas snowballs

[thorny magnet]

and manually craft nobelisks and black powder for research

[eager harbor]

OH THANKS

[fading whale]

Right. For a few more days at least. So stock up on them.

[eager harbor]

Last night off before first work day this year.

Yeah its annoying

broooooooo ts crystal computer recipe is buggin

i ahve gotten instant scrap 3 tim es

[clear tartan]

would one freight station pass for loading/un;oading 2 freight cars

[thorny magnet]

no

[glass pagoda]

Sorry bout the x emoji I wasn't looking at my screen

[fading whale]

One freight platform can either load or unload. Not both. But one station/stop can have multiple platforms. so for instance every other freight car is loaded and the rest are unloaded.

[covert quarry]

is there anything u can craft with coal or is it just used to burn?

[clear tartan]

so i need 2?

[jagged nymph]

yes, theres other uses

[unkempt blade]

You should tell them you got bird flu while traveling. That'll buy you an extra week or two of satis time

[covert quarry]

do they involve crafting?

[fading whale]

Coal is a main part of steel which you will need a LOT of.

[jagged nymph]

well yeah, what else do you use stuff for?

[covert quarry]

idk lol but thanks

[unkempt blade]

the ingame codex or the wiki can tell you these things 🙂

[jagged nymph]

its also used for compacted coal, which makes turbofuel, which is a very good fuel source

[ember moon]

MY BRAIN HAS BEEN YUSED SO MUCH TODAY IM SO TIRED

[jagged nymph]

he probably doesnt have steel n stuff unlocked yet, but yeah the wiki is helpful

[dim spoke]

do i need sulfur for anything t3-4

[ember moon]

sul.lfer is used in the MAM

[jagged nymph]

b o o m

[dim spoke]

other than that cuz i havent unlocked plastic so i cant progress

[clear tartan]

so for trains is the amount of freight cars the same as freight stations?

[scenic mirage]

#screenshots message
why are my iodine filters being used up so fast

[unkempt blade]

yeah I think they're helpful in different ways but if someone wants to see everything something is used for the wiki tables are really good

[jagged nymph]

yeah

[fading whale]

You won't need it. But it will be practical for making at least a bit of gunpowder so you can get explosives. And later on you'll need tons of it.

[dim spoke]

i have a storage full of black powder

[scenic mirage]

do you happen to be from denmark

[fading whale]

Because you're getting radiation. Either from ore or a big hog.

[dim spoke]

i dont think i need to automate nobelisks

[clear tartan]

how can i make freight stations actually load stuff

[scenic mirage]

no ore im my inventory and no hogs nearby

[hasty stump]

compacted coal, needed for rocket/turbofuel (may be able to avoid with the right alt recipes)
oh wait, that's after t4 though

[fading whale]

Indeed I am 🙂

[ember moon]

look at a guide

[fading whale]

Try saving and reloading.
There IS a bug where you just get radiation out of nowhere. Helps to reload.

[clear tartan]

where?

[ember moon]

youtbue

[jagged nymph]

whyy are drones so wierd and buggy

[scenic mirage]

hvad så nabo

[scenic mirage]

i think thats what it was

[severe pewter]

Is it a bug that saving and loading in an area where you're taking radiation damage stops the radiation - until you enter a menu I think?

[fading whale]

Not sure abour the specifics. Only happened to me once.

[severe pewter]

Cause that almost feels intentional, so loading doesn't cause instant-death

[fading whale]

The bug is that you get radiation damage out of nowhere. And it keeps going no matter where you go. Untill you reload.

[severe pewter]

I've never seen that one

[clear tartan]

could of just told me self drive does it

but then whats the fun in telling people on how things work

[ember moon]

I was honestly just oo tired lel

im going to bed

[weary moat]

is there a site to search for an item in a specific container on the map ?

[scenic mirage]

SCIM

[weary moat]

thanks

[severe pewter]

-I'm sure I'm not the first person to think of this, but do many people run storage as a dimensional buffer?

[soft marsh]

Eh?

Like...storage conected to a depot?

If so then yes, most people do

[sullen gull]

I feell like lless people are using less "mass storage" and more just a single container attached to a dd (With a couple for things like concrete)

[severe pewter]

The thought occured to me yesterday I think? Some of my item overproductions are very slow, and while the storage has plenty of time to fill up, running out would be no bueno

[hasty stump]

industrial storage feeding into 1,2 or 3 DDs, along with a hypertube cannon onsite so i can easily jump there and back if i need a big stack in a hurry for some reason

do that for pretty much every produced item

[severe pewter]

I've only been running 1 for each item type

[hasty stump]

1 is plenty for stuff you don't need in great quantities, 2 or 3 can be really handy for stuff you use often (like whatever you need for your current level of belts)

[scenic mirage]

just 1? for concrete i have smth like 20

and like 10 for each steel product

[severe pewter]

Just 1 hasn't been a problem so far

[hasty stump]

then yea, you have found a viable and pretty common solution imo

[severe pewter]

-does the need for 10~20 come from mass-laying blueprints?

[soft marsh]

I generally run one for every FOB. So I'll typically have multiple DDs throughout the map for a single item if I'm making those items in differnet places. If it does anything, idk but its wht I do

[hasty stump]

btw if you are using low level belts from storage to DD, don't forget to upgrade them once you have faster upload speeds, otherwise the belt is gonna constrain you

[scenic mirage]

i mean the max upload speed for DD is 240/min

[severe pewter]

It's just massive passive storage built off a single sushi belt

[scenic mirage]

🤷‍♂️

[scenic mirage]

ye

[clear tartan]

mmm

[bold lagoon]

have like 18 for time crystals etc due to blueprint size (4x10 Belts for a 5x5 blueprint sets you back 800 XD

[dry sage]

Someone told me that you can build foundations with the concrete foundations from the AWESOME Shop. But is it me or is that just a skin you apply AFTER you build the normal foundations? If so, wouldn't that make it take 5 concrete and 2 iron plates, PLUS 2 more concrete for the skin? Thus making it take more resources than just the default metal-looking skin?

[golden nexus]

Change it using hte drop down in the build selector

[dry sage]

OHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! Never even saw that before! Thanks!

[severe pewter]

You can also middle-click an existing piece to build more of the same

[golden nexus]

same for walls etc...

[dry sage]

ok, so then it takes the 5 + 2 for it instead of the iron. Heck, iron plates are faster to make than all that concrete, though. Hmm....decisions...

[eager harbor]

[nova ridge]

when did you guys stop using liquid biofuel for jetpack

[wise junco]

i still use it frequently

[fading whale]

Coal generators.
But as mentioned. https://discord.com/channels/370472939054956546/1038092680493801533
Anything more than a simple question or involves screenshots for troubleshooting goes there.

[golden nexus]

You been told to take things to #1038092680493801533 multiple times today because you refuse ot try anything and you are constant abusing peoples good nature with constant time wasting / trolling and general belligerence

[scenic mirage]

i never started

[nova ridge]

does hoverpack replace jetpack? im about to unlock it

[fading whale]

Never used it 😄
And not I have rocket fuel.

[severe pewter]

I prefer turbo fuel over bio. Runs out fast, but I can climb so much faster (and higher)

[nova ridge]

gotcha

just finished making that too

[wise junco]

they're good in different situations. jetpack takes fuel, but hoverpack has to be used near a power source

[nova ridge]

oh

so hover is more for buildilng

[wise junco]

but hoverpack is VERY nice for building

yep, you nailed it

[fading whale]

You have both. But only wear one of them at a time.
Hoverpack requires a nearby powersource. Jetpack is for off-grid.

[nova ridge]

good cuz im tired of trying to fly and build with jetpack its hard

i wish i had 100 more backpack slots

[severe pewter]

And hoverpack has a fixed speed. You can get going rather quickly with a jetpack

[wise junco]

that too!

[nova ridge]

also maybe you guys can help me with this but. i have 40% gpu usage. 25% cpu usage but fps will drop to 30-40s sometimes.

[wise junco]

is it in areas with lots of belts?

[nova ridge]

ya

[fading whale]

You can use it in the open also. But it requires you build a powerline whereever you go.

[nova ridge]

but also with areas with huge open gaps

[severe pewter]

Drop resolution and render distance

[wise junco]

i forget the name, but there is an option somewhere for belt refresh speed. i minimize that and it helps astronimcally

[nova ridge]

i dont have the best rig but its a 3080 with a 10700k and 32gb ram. i thought i'd be fine. im barely in mid game. just completed phase 3

[wise junco]

certain aspects of this game are resource hungry. it's been a work in progress for a while to reduce

[nova ridge]

gotcha

[wise junco]

to echo Amnesite, render distance will probably help a lot too

[fading whale]

That's plenty good.
Just stay away from megafactories. Those a reserved for high-end rigs.
Or people who don't care about fps or image quality.

[nova ridge]

i see. also its a friend's server. but his specs are better than mine

ill go ahead and make mini factories and train them over

[severe pewter]

Ultra looks so pretty though

[fading whale]

It does 🙂

@nova ridge Do you have global illumination enabled?

[nova ridge]

high

moody bright

[fading whale]

Disable that. It takes quite a bit of juice.

I only enable it for screenshots.

[nova ridge]

k

i guess it went up 10 fps at 113 now

[fading whale]

If anything just to see if it helps with fps.

[nova ridge]

i havent gone to the area where it goes down yet

[severe pewter]

You might be able to cheat somewhat by using a slightly lower resolution and using the scaling options.

[tame kindle]

its overkil i think ?

i produce 84 000 MW for 13 000 MW MAX

[fading whale]

NEVER overkill. More power is always good.

[nova ridge]

is there a chart for powershard efficeint usages?

[fading whale]

The extra work to get twice the power you need is still better than the work needed to solve your fuse blowing out.

[severe pewter]

All of em?

[nova ridge]

im still at powerslug stage

[severe pewter]

Me too. But most of my starting stuff was built without - it largely goes to things like miners and the super bulky objects like the manufacturers

[nova ridge]

i needed more rubber so i just put 3 in each one for now.

pipeline pump is only for going up in height right? not for velocity

and no filtering available for belts?

[severe pewter]

I'm so glad the devs gave industrial storage the same horizontal footprint as the dimensional

[severe pewter]

Correct. Headlift also doesn't stack - and I'm not entirely sure how pressure affects the physics, but it is possible to induce some just with gravity and no pumps.

[nova ridge]

what do you mean doesnt stack? as in i cant put 4 pumps in a row i have to put 1 mk2 pump every 50m?

[severe pewter]

Correct. And if you put it at 47m, it resets from there

[sullen gull]

It resets the headlift from the thing before it.

[nova ridge]

ok good to know

[sullen gull]

Also, when placing pumps, don't snap to the blue bubble. Place it just before.

[nova ridge]

weird i upgraded my pieps from mk1 to mk2 and i had to delete averything and start again cuz it wouldnt move fluid

[sullen gull]

Once in a blue moon, an upgrade would break a connection for me.

I feel like it happened a lot if I was upgrading things really fast. But not sure.

[nova ridge]

its prob czu i have so much overlapping stuff

i hate love how you can do that

[severe pewter]

That's because of a bug. You didn't need to delete everything though, next time look for the first pipe that's not filling up (it'll probably be the one before or after the pump), then delete and replace that pipe

[nova ridge]

ah ok

[severe pewter]

That gave me problems when I was running vertical pipes and testing flow, had to delete the same pipe on 3 or 4 occasions whenever I'd start messing with stuff

[timber chasm]

is there a better way for making lots of coupons besides sinking ballistic warp drives

[sullen gull]

I never mind running fluids up at all 😏 #screenshots message

[severe pewter]

Start sinking as heavy of stuff as possible, early. 10m x 1000 points = 1000 x 10m points.

[nova ridge]

i wish ther was a 1x1 size storage

[severe pewter]

?

[sullen gull]

There are personal storage containers ... and shevling?

But, all manual access. No belting.

[severe pewter]

Hey question. How do elevators work with the underground? Can you clip one-way with them?

[nova ridge]

i meant for beltin

[severe pewter]

It's no one by one, but the right dimensional storage setup may as well be

[brazen cove]

Is there mk6 conveyor belt? I thought there were only 5 of them?

[tall lantern]

has been since 1.0

[brazen cove]

I haven’t played in those times. I just thought that 5th was the max

[scenic mirage]

can you only send one drone to one port?

[austere smelt]

There's now mk6 (think it's tier 9)

[jagged nymph]

it is

[severe pewter]

Calling them belts is a tiny bit of a stretch. But they're quite fast

[sullen gull]

You can Send as many drones to one port as you want. They just may end up waiting. However you can only build one drone on a station and have it go somwhere.

[tall lantern]

they're conveyors, not so much belts

[scenic mirage]

how do you build more drones then

[nimble oak]

[austere smelt]

I can run on them pretty nicely 🙂 (Though, the old math bug would've made them better...)

[real shale]

They are sanding machines in disguise, the speed of a Mk6 belt is apparently 85,000 m/s or something

[golden nexus]

Ahh, the G force during a 90 degree bent must be interesting

[sullen gull]

So, let's say for something like fuel delivery for other drones or trucks.... You would build one or two drone ports where you are making the fuel... Then, at the factory, you would make a seperate port and build a drone on it and have it's destination be the fuel port to pick up fuel. And you repeat for each place that needs fuel at it

[rugged rune]

do you think they will ever make splitter/mergers shorter or conveyor stacks taller so the conveyors dont clip when you run the over the top of the mergers/splitters?

[severe pewter]

?

[sullen gull]

I believe that "clipping" is intentional. It makes it seem "part" of the machine imo

[tall lantern]

it is a bit ugly

[real shale]

Beauty in ugliness

[rugged rune]

im not sure i see how lol

i frew up a lil

[severe pewter]

I found a way around the clipping if I remember but it was a massive pain to set up

[hallow crow]

wait, do we have a release date for 1.2?

[scenic mirage]

im only bringing uranium, im tryna do 2 drones per node since theyre super far

the drone goes to the node and directly back to the factory

[sullen gull]

You ARE reffering to something like this right? #screenshots message

[grim estuary]

#screenshots message Is this hole just a death pit?

[green fiber]

try it

[severe pewter]

Yes, but it never hurts to make sure

[grim estuary]

I'm good

[nimble oak]

#screenshots my buddy put a boombox in the hub crafting bench any way to get t out without removng the hub?

[sullen gull]

You make a drone port at each node, build a drone on them and have them deliver to the nuke plant. Then, unless you're going to use Plutonium rods as fuel, make a dron port, with a drone on it, to go pick up fuel.

[sterile blade]

Pain is but a temporary discomfort for Ficsit property...

[sullen gull]

rumor says first quarter of 26 as far as I knew.

[severe pewter]

If they felt pain, would they need an auditory indicator?

[green fiber]

if you cant get it out by running into it then you gotta rebuild the HUB

[scenic mirage]

im just using packaged fuel since its easy, gonna go ficsonium too

[sullen gull]

https://tenor.com/view/intergalactic-quality-intergalactic-dennice-the-menace-yep-dennis-the-menace-yep-gif-13852416563425310673

[grim estuary]

Ip grabber

[sullen gull]

Honestly, I would sat batteries or rocket fuel would be the "better" bet

[severe pewter]

Part of me feels like I'm about to regret making my dimensional buffer so massive, but - at least it'll be hard to run out of stuff

[sullen gull]

what?

[grim estuary]

It's a joke

[sullen gull]

Also remember to select "Take from inventory before Depot" in your TAB menu

[severe pewter]

Always, just cause deleting stuff fills it up so fast

[jagged nymph]

i find it wierd that the belt speeds go 60->doubles 120-> slightly more than doubles to 270-> slightly less than doubles to 480. Why would the mk3 belt not be 240?

so it would just double each time

(excluding mk5 and 6)

[sullen gull]

I believe it's been said that it's because the devs wanted to mess with the math 😏

[severe pewter]

I've found that weird too, but 270s are a good place to hide extra items

[jagged nymph]

thats so funny if thats true 😭

[green fiber]

270/min works better with steel ratios

because of multiples of 45/min

[jagged nymph]

yeah i was thinking about that, but you could easily put 270/m on a mk4, which is barely more expensive than mk3

[green fiber]

and also because the belt speed seems to be moreso quadratic rather than just "double it"

[sullen gull]

A lot of people consider mk4 belts to be more "expensive"

[green fiber]

get to those mk 4s first

[jagged nymph]

?

[green fiber]

mk 4 belts are tier 5

you have no option to just go with mk 4 if you just started with steel

[jagged nymph]

true

but also mk3 needs steel as well

also, its wierd that they throw off the pattern just cause it makes one single items numbers easier

[green fiber]

then you probably dont want to ask about mk 5's 780/min either

[jagged nymph]

i mean 960 would be a little overpowered, i can understand that

#screenshots message
but you raise a good point about it being quadratic

[severe pewter]

They changed that? I thought those were only something like 540?

[green fiber]

the mk 5 have been 780/min for like an eternity

same with mk 4 boing 480/min

[scenic mirage]

#screenshots message
i have 2 drones going to this port, how do i make it so 1 goes "impure waterfall uranium" and the other goes to "impure waterfall uranium 2"

[severe pewter]

Oh. That would explain a bit though

[scenic mirage]

this is the drone port at the node, im trying to send it to the factory

[sullen gull]

Use the "this port" and "all ports" tabs to configure it

[green fiber]

you build the drones on the ports of the other destinations

and then tell both of them to go to the one central port

[scenic mirage]

i did that but its saying "No drone"
i have 8 receiving ports and i built 8 drones

[green fiber]

did you power them all

[sullen gull]

I would build the drone on the port at the node. But, you configure the port that has the drone built on it.

[rugged rune]

yes

[green fiber]

you cannot tell "uranium impure, waterfall" to go to any port if you didnt build a drone on it
you can only configure the other ones. they will cycle between their home and destination anyway

[sullen gull]

🤷‍♂️ Looks fine to me

[rugged rune]

https://tenor.com/view/no-no-no-no-gif-8971642892483725157

booooo no gif

[scenic mirage]

#screenshots message

uranium impure, waterfall is the actual uranium node

[sullen gull]

To each their own of course. But, I doubt they would change it. It's aligned and "fits" with the scale of everything else imo

[strong fiber]

Pasta factory complete #screenshots message

Took me 8 hours to build bruh

[rugged rune]

just a lil bit would be nice

[green fiber]

dunno really.
your names are confusing.
And frankly, does it matter? All thats important is that you cannot configure the one port where all other drones should go to - as it wont have its own "drone"

[sullen gull]

Now, I do feel they should fix the alignment of lifts with the inputs/outputs of industrial storage containers 😒

[scenic mirage]

i mean yeah it doesnt matter bc im not getting enough uranium to my factory 😭
and idk the "right" way to name stuff

[green fiber]

"pickup" , "dropoff" ??

[strong fiber]

Why does particle accelerators use so much power this my first time using them and they use 2000 MW to 5000 MW like thats alotta power

[sullen gull]

Or even PU, DO 😛

[dim spoke]

What should i use for the AWESOME sink t3-4

[green fiber]

so that you are forced to build more power production

literal power grid check

[scenic mirage]

🤷‍♂️ ig ik the ones w commas are the pickup nodes tho

[strong fiber]

I guess i gotta build nuclear bruh

[dim spoke]

would caterium be good for awesome sink

[scenic mirage]

#screenshots message
ya idk it only lets me select one port for the pickup nodes

[sullen gull]

Correct

[dim spoke]

i could get like 3360 points / min with those

[sullen gull]

Again, you can TELL a drone to go to ONE port. Hoewever, You can have mutiple drones going to a single port.

[scenic mirage]

its getting too late for me 😭 12:30 am now and i gotta work in the morning anyway

[strong fiber]

I get 300k points/min and thats not even alot

[dim spoke]

dangg

[sullen gull]

So, I would say, remove the drones at the factory. Build them on the ports at each node, then, congiure those to deliver to the ports at the factory.

[dim spoke]

what should i do for the sink? am currently t3-4

[strong fiber]

I just sink my extra materials from my factories after i have a huge stockpile

With overflow splitters

[scenic mirage]

#screenshots message

[sullen gull]

You may have to put a bit of fuel in the ports at the nodes to kick start it, but since you have fuel at the factory, they will fuel there.

[scenic mirage]

ah i think i gotcha 😭

[strong fiber]

i see u sinking pasta im not because i need it 😭

[scenic mirage]

will add to todo for tomorrow

[scenic mirage]

🤣

[sullen gull]

And, In doing that, you would require potentially less ports at the factory.

[whole drum]

I wish the blueprint designer was earlier in the milestones. By the time I get it, it's too small to feel useful.

[strong fiber]

only reason i automated pasta is because i need it for phase 5

[scenic mirage]

you can use a blueprint from another save\

[whole drum]

Also, it needs to be like 10x10--screw this phased upgrade garbage. Just makes me not use it at all.

[atomic shadow]

any know why my spliters are acc doing there job

[grim estuary]

What's the point of the power switch

[dim spoke]

should i start taking overflow and using it for points

[strong fiber]

To organize ur power grid

[grim estuary]

Yes

[whole drum]

To exploit the power of On/Off technology

[sullen gull]

Lol, I gave you an idea of what you could use it for last night. And, that whole switch room was done in a mk1 😏

[whole drum]

Yeah, but it comes so late that I just forget I even have it

And I'm not really used to using switches either, for that matter

[dim spoke]

hope i have space in my factory to add the new splitters ;-;

[sullen gull]

So you can have stuff like this: #design-and-architecture message

[sullen gull]

But I was more referring to the machine BP's ..

#screenshots message

[grim estuary]

That actually seems really nice

[sullen gull]

Though, it is a pain to do a refinery one in a mk1 😒

[whole drum]

Also, the Mk1 and 2 are so tiny compared to the space machines take up. It's highly discouraging from using the dang thing.

[timber chasm]

I finally got the golden nut

[whole drum]

I don't like trying to overly compact my factory designs just because of the arbitrarily (and foolishly) limited size of the designer

[sullen gull]

Which is why I don't use them to cram machines in. I just make one machine with my style of manifolding or w/e I am doing. and all I have to do is connect some belts pipes between them.

[strong fiber]

tomorrow is my birthday i just remembered

[sullen gull]

Though, I messed up in the video because the ones I selected were made for 1m foundation floor 😒

[strong fiber]

I made a refinery blueprint for my pasta factory cuz i needed 50 refineries and i was NOT placing 50 refineries and doing all the beltwork

[soft marsh]

Definitely replacing the drones. Power died again because of them

[strong fiber]

Get more power

[sullen gull]

Make more power?

[soft marsh]

Power isnt the issue

[strong fiber]

Also i got 100 nuclear pasta yay!

[soft marsh]

its the drone delivery rate

[sullen gull]

Sure it is if the fuse is blowing

[soft marsh]

Id need about three more drones I think to keep up with the plant

[strong fiber]

More drones

Well drones aren’t bad its just how you’re using them

[sullen gull]

What are you delivering by drone?

[soft marsh]

Nitrogen

[strong fiber]

Probably why

If you really want to use a vehicle use train

[sullen gull]

They reuturning with full load? and recycling the canisters?

[sullen gull]

Nitogren is usually fine by drone. It compresses 4x

[soft marsh]

Yeah full load and recycling

[strong fiber]

If im bringing in a raw resource im always using trains

[strong fiber]

Dang

[soft marsh]

I might need to just tear down the Nitro drones and then rebuild them

[sullen gull]

But yeah, may just need another port. How much are you needing at the plant?

[soft marsh]

There could be an issue with the drones somewhere that Im not seeing either so rebuilding them might be the best

Honestly not a lot, which is why it doesn't make sense.

less than 400/m

[sullen gull]

Are there any drones ever waiting at the drop off? (or pickup, not sure how you have it set)

[golden nexus]

You trying to use many on the same port?

[soft marsh]

2 I think, from two different sources.

[golden nexus]

If you use many drones on the same port, the port cannot refill fast enough to fill the next drone that arrives

same happens with trains if you use more than 2

[void basin]

hi can someone help me please there is a rock above the coal but i dont have bombs

[golden nexus]

then unlock bombs......

[sullen gull]

Not much we can do. You will need to research bombs and the detonator in the MAM.

[dense violet]

is it a rock you can mine? press E on?

or a cracked boulder?

[spare cradle]

I see blue, so much blue.

[void basin]

i cant press e

its ontop on a big pillar

[dense violet]

find a different node or reserach bombs then

[shrewd hatch]

I see 67

[soft marsh]

Also need to rebuild my battery plant

glad I had it or I'd have been screwed

[sullen gull]

If you're using them for a fuel plant, (especially if it's a rocket fuel plant) I like to over produce and package some for drone fuel. So it's all right there.

[whole drum]

Yeah, but my complaint is that the designer isn't actually very useful because of both those reasons--it unlocks late compared to your other buildings, and it's freaking tiny.

[soft marsh]

Yeah I have 5 modules producing RF, but only need 4 to run the plant, so the 5th is being used to make the packaged RF for vehicles

Its gotta be something with the drones themselves so Im just gonna tear down and rebuild them

once I can get the plant running again

[sullen gull]

Can use it for the drones too.

[sullen gull]

I agree that it could come earlier. But I have to disagree with the usefulness when you do get it. BUT, again I am not trying to build more than one machine into it either. And, In late late game (just a sandbox at this point), I will say I do enjoy the Megaprinter mod. But, even then I am constantly using the "normal" ones for many many many things.
