[fossil wraith]

hi everyone, im building oil-based energy source far away from my base, is there anything i can do with polymer resin that comes out with fuel? it will eventually fill up all containers and the whole factory will stop because of this. can i utilize it somehow?

[mortal ginkgo]

My BRRRRRRRRRRRRRROTHER what is that belting 😄

[golden nexus]

Aim for at least hvaing 16-32 gens

[timber dragon]

yeah ill try but its my first time

[upper gale]

@vague plume That's just a ping. It's something with your bindings that's causing you to ping everytime you build

[mortal ginkgo]

16 is good enough me t0nks

[timber dragon]

its good yo

[hardy vector]

residual plastic/rubber. Otherwise sink the overflow, so nothing gets to halt

[rugged shard]

What if it’s far

[mortal ginkgo]

Smart Splitter allows you to send overflow somewhere else when storage is full

[timber dragon]

go to oil

[vague plume]

It's suddenly gone

[fossil wraith]

plastic will fill the containers also

[rugged shard]

There’s no place to build it near oil 💔

[zealous urchin]

rrrreturn of the big dawg

[mortal ginkgo]

big dawg!

[timber dragon]

make fuel refinery near oil and make fuel gens near the refineries and put power towers to transport the power

[rugged shard]

Wait couldn’t I just transport oil whit trains

[upper gale]

Might've been because you were pressing left alt accidentally when pressing lmb
Default keybind for it is left alt + lmb

[timber dragon]

if u want

[rugged shard]

Also I got turbo fuel unlocked, just don’t know how to use it

[timber dragon]

also im still a beginner im just saying stuff that i learned thru watching videos

[rugged shard]

Oh, lmao

[timber dragon]

so sorry if i say something wrong

[mortal ginkgo]

personal suggestion and opinion (which means I am correct yes), Turbo Fuel itself asks for too much compact coal shenanigans but you dont need that as Fuel alone is fine at your current stage.

next elevator phase you unlock rocket fuel which is vastly superior and asks for very little turbo fuel for what it provides

[rugged shard]

Till I get to phase 4, 2026 will probably gonna be ending

But okay💔

[mortal ginkgo]

It took me 200 hours to get to phase 2 because I wanted to decorate. 500 to phase 3. Get on my level.

[fossil wraith]

there isnt much space to decorate in satisfactory

at least for me after playing no mans sky

[queen slate]

Bro is an artist

My decoration is coloring my machines to what their output is

Which isn’t great because lots of items are brown like copper items

[limpid orchid]

How is the map so Big but also so Small?

[fossil wraith]

cool

[dim spoke]

should i automate turbofuel

[queen slate]

all of those look amazing

[mortal ginkgo]

Map is huge but also you move incredibly fast and even constructors are MASSIVE. Thats why.

Map isn't THAT big. It is kind of an illusion. A good one.

[fossil wraith]

are there elevators in game btw?

[upper gale]

Because everything else we place is also huge. I mean just look at how tall them refineries are

[queen slate]

I do for my jet pack but up to you

[mortal ginkgo]

Refineries are a building on their own kek

[upper gale]

Yeah like, one time I just made a big basement to sink them under, inside a building

[fossil wraith]

last time i visited tickets shop when i was on phase 3 and didnt see them

[mortal ginkgo]

insane amount of time and testing see what it fits + if I like it + if I have the patient + does my mom love me

[upper gale]

It's like, sorta new-ish

[limpid orchid]

Okay, i will try except the Mom stuff i hate her to Everything. Shes s bit Toxic... "Gaslighting + more"

[upper gale]

Few months I think

[idle glen]

man, they need to add more walls etc.

I wouldn't mind some new decarative stuff. The last one with the addition of fans was pretty nice

[timber dragon]

is it just me or no cuz ada reminds me of glados from portal

[fossil wraith]

i play on unofficial old version since i downloaded it in spring

[tall lantern]

you should update then

[queen slate]

Sry never played portal but I’ve heard someone say that too

[mortal ginkgo]

Lastly, here is a cute setup to test possiblities at very first time of game: #design-and-architecture message

[timber dragon]

[mortal ginkgo]

THE MAN THE LEGEND THE B I G DOG!

[queen slate]

Gj power production should always be stable imo

[limpid orchid]

thx, rn i try to get way more Alternative recipes before i Build but i wanna do like 2 Factorys 1 for all Ammo and Explosives and 1 for all Space elevator Phase 4 parts.

[mortal ginkgo]

very cool, go for it

also IMPORTANT note: Tap ALL Impure Limestone Nodes.

They matter. Yes.

I am not biased. #nobiasatall

[queen slate]

Have any fav build things like walls I wanna try building a shell around my spaghetti factories

[limpid orchid]

Something i also wanna do but dont know if its good to do is building more Radio signals while i Explore. Did you also do that?

[queen slate]

Good idea 👍

[mortal ginkgo]

you need depth. Here are my 3 foundation space wall example: #design-and-architecture message

[queen slate]

Something a friend told me if the hard drive you researched has 2 things you don’t want and you’ve used your reroll keep it in library because you can’t get it twice 😄

[mortal ginkgo]

Mine are overkill but keep in mind that walls meant to have depth so you can get more creative

[limpid orchid]

You cant get recipes twice? I think i only used the reroll twice in my Life.

Are there more Recipes then Hard drives?

[mortal ginkgo]

if you got it once, or if it is in library, it wont appear again as a hard drive scan

[golden nexus]

opposite, more drives than recipies

[mortal ginkgo]

No, there are more hard drives than recipes

[limpid orchid]

How many Recipes are there (alternative)

[queen slate]

~108

That’s what google told me anyway lol 😂

[limpid orchid]

Reddit user said : "Okay so, just looking at the wiki there is 118 total crash sites, 107 alternate recipe scans, 2 inventory expansion, 4 for MAM research and 5 unused."

[queen slate]

There is a limited amount of tickets right so I shouldn’t buy hardrives?

[limpid orchid]

I dont think that Tickets are Limited. You need 1000 For a Trophie.

[white dawn]

Tickets get more and more expensive (up to a point) but they're unlimited

[mortal ginkgo]

limitiess, just increases in price

[queen slate]

Ah ok ty

They must need crazy amounts later on

[white dawn]

If you don't care about getting trophies then feel free to buy whatever you like

(if you do care about the trophies in there, you'd want to wait until you've gotten those)

[upper gale]

#satisfactory-memes message

[queen slate]

Did you care?

[white dawn]

I always enjoy getting the trophies, and enjoy exploration-for-drives. I've never bought "items" from the shop

That's just me though

[queen slate]

K thx

[limpid orchid]

Personally. i never gave a real thought of Buying them. I always bought all other Things except them. I dont even have a Mug.

[queen slate]

I enjoy looking for hds especially when there is 2 radioactive spider that I stunlock for 5 mins each

[mortal ginkgo]

I mean, you have to explore to get spheres and sloops anyway. With Hard Drive scanner, you can just fetch them on the way.

[queen slate]

(I don’t like spiders so I have them as cats but you can hear the cat sounds from really far away

[vague plume]

Is there a way to build stuff with already Swatch 1 on it ??

[timber dragon]

Probably the thing where you copy a machine to place down but I can't test it atm

Or blueprints too maybe

[hardy vector]

blueprints keep swatches

[edgy shore]

Guys should I take an alternate pipe recipe (20 iron for 5 steel pipes) or rescan the hard drive?

[mortal ginkgo]

thats a based recipe, its very cool

asks for tons of iron but simplifies the production really good

and iron is so abundant its not even funny (it actually is)

[edgy shore]

Okay so pipes it is thanks 🫡

[mortal ginkgo]

a little more friendly tip, "Encased Industrial Beam" has an alt recipe: Alternate: Encased Industrial Pipe.

It asks for pipes so you can see you can get rid of the whole coal business while making those.

[sullen cloak]

anyone intrested taking with Ada and the Alien dialog?

at first im confused what the hell is going....

now after collecting multiple mercer sphere she no longer talk to me

[mortal ginkgo]

at a certain point ||Ada says she is able to understand what alien says completely and is ready to go together with alien voice.||

so thats where the dialogue ends

[sullen cloak]

yes...the last part is a bit...weird
not like in a weird way but you get the point

She....no longer need us? I think? but she keeping us in check? idk...

oof I think the Temple isnt a Body

[mortal ginkgo]

Yeah, I mean she technically never talks to use directly if its not a milestone or phase where she is sassy.

Temple, is a body.

[sullen cloak]

no

[sullen cloak]

Their temple is a Factory from a Alien's own interpretation

[mortal ginkgo]

I mean.. yeah.. I guess..?

I am not that into the lore. I just tap impure limestone nodes.

[sullen cloak]

its really most confusing to me at the same time I want to bash my head on the wall trying to figuring out why the alien speaks like a composer

[mortal ginkgo]

Eh, it does so because our language is equally alien to it so it chooses the word that most fits to their understanding.

A cosmic entity calling our galaxy "a drop in an ocean" is a way of speaking in their sense of scale etc.

Or when they talk about my mom.

[sullen cloak]

to put that way
shores means us
seas is them

[mortal ginkgo]

could be, there is a reddit post that someone decripted all the meanings and they are 95% correct

sorry baba, but I am open about what I am into. take it or leave it

you are at beginning of it all kek

one pipe has water

[golden nexus]

you have no idea lol #screenshots message

i add pump still no water

the pump is full

water no go to next pipe

[golden nexus]

oh that sort of pipes, no fluids are quite easy

[mortal ginkgo]

headlift

[timber dragon]

i have pumps

[mortal ginkgo]

Water EXTRACTORS lets you have headlift as much as their length

[golden nexus]

but it is easy to also connect pipes backwards or not connect them properly. You can check them by going into dismantel mode

[timber dragon]

like alot

I hope you are not confusing water extractors with water pumps

very sex, much lewd, ultra kinky

[timber dragon]

i sent my pumps in screenshots and it still doesnt go to next pipe i rebuilt the pipes nothing i checked if they are connected they are

you dont need that much pump

also they are not needed for horizontal movement

[sullen cloak]

im gonna read this
https://www.reddit.com/r/SatisfactoryGame/comments/1lyrm1j/the_alien_lore_or_my_understanding_of_it/

[timber dragon]

YEAH BUT IT STILL DOESNT PUMP WATER TO THE NEXT PIPE

[sullen cloak]

finally I found it

[mortal ginkgo]

the water meant to go right or left in that screenshot?

[timber dragon]

i checked the pumps are placed in the right dirrection

[mortal ginkgo]

again, you shouldnt need them there, redo the pipe again

[golden nexus]

too many pumps your making it complex for yourself

[mortal ginkgo]

that empty segment

[timber dragon]

ok wait

[mortal ginkgo]

I mean, I see the "water indicators" full

[whole drum]

The pumps don't actually add flow rate. They only increase the max height of liquids in the pipe system and block backflow behind the pump. All those extra pumps are basically useless.

[placid stirrup]

Not enough pumps, I can still see some pipe

[mortal ginkgo]

BRO BLZ

[sullen cloak]

okay good
the Flat isnt insult
but
we cant speak

so thats makes a lot

[placid stirrup]

Just make the entire length a bunch of connected junctions, infinite throughput gg

[mortal ginkgo]

flat is good for some people. some likes flat plains, I like a rather mountainous view.

factorio pipes are better than this

[whole drum]

I like the view in Grasslands--not just somewhere I want to start my saves.

[placid stirrup]

overrated kek

[timber dragon]

well for me it does i came from early factorio so i though the pipes are the same

[placid stirrup]

My buddy Jeffrey said he'd be waiting for me there

[whole drum]

Why would they be the same? They are two entirely different studios, different games, and different design philosophies and goals.

[mortal ginkgo]

this got nothing to do about solving the problem though, we still see water in those pipes

[placid stirrup]

Assume nothing is the same

[timber dragon]

damn

[sullen cloak]

true but I like plains biome cuz...water
but when I heard this

ADA: It most certainly is, but not of me. They are, how should I put it, extremely flat.

we can hear them

[timber dragon]

what is the blue pipe

its like in the middle of my pipes

[dim spoke]

Yooo just made my biggest single factory

10/min motor factory

[sullen cloak]

you using pump?

[mortal ginkgo]

thats an indicator that there is something in the pipe

[placid stirrup]

Likely the indicator for how much headlift the pump provides

[timber dragon]

its water

[placid stirrup]

Like a holographic ring that moves with you when you're placing a pipe?

[mortal ginkgo]

you answered your own question

so yes, that pipe has water. it is a well watered pipe

[ember belfry]

The alien flirts with ADA at some point.

[mortal ginkgo]

yes, you are just a worker, now go back to making the factory

[timber dragon]

but its capped at 5 m3/min and others are 30m3/m

[dim spoke]

Holyy this motor factory is massive

[mortal ginkgo]

thats the amount that it holds brotherman, it will let 300m2 water flow when its full.

you do NOT have a water issue.

you are just mistaking "amount inside" with "flow rate"

[ember belfry]

I am working on a munitions factory at the crater lake. May mass produce rifles just to be funny.

[mortal ginkgo]

you cant mass produce riftles as you can only hand craft them

I kek at your MISFORTUNATE PLANS

[ember belfry]

But... America...

[mortal ginkgo]

Doesn't exist, like Canada. Sorry.

[whole drum]

This is where the Iron Pipe alt recipe helps a lot. You shortcut steel so you just need iron for both Rotors and Stators, and saves a bunch of time/space.

[dim spoke]

I have iron pipe

[mortal ginkgo]

give it to me

[dim spoke]

its still massive compared to my other factories 😓

[timber dragon]

my brain aint braining yo

Is it really worth it skipping turbo fuel and go straight for rocket fuel? Ig I can unlock it fast, just gotta make space elevator parts

[sullen cloak]

NO

[placid stirrup]

Depends if you plan to do nuclear

[rugged shard]

Well I wouldn’t mind

[ember belfry]

Because why use gas masks when you can blow up anything that farts in your general direction!

[rugged shard]

Some dude said to skip it 😭

[sullen cloak]

anyway same

the Democracy calling me
time to hunt some Hive Lord

[mortal ginkgo]

so that you dont need to spend time removing them 😛

also gas filters are good against TOTALLY HARMLESS extra large stingers

[placid stirrup]

You can either rush rocket and build a boring 200 generators or do an exciting nuclear plant. You don't really need both

[rugged shard]

Is nuclear plant hard to do

[ember belfry]

You mean cats?

[whole drum]

This is my approach too. I only care about gas masks because I'm fairly sure it reduces the damage from the green spiders.

There are many steps in the process and you have waste to deal with

hmm i thought this one was a lil better

[sturdy imp]

i think so yeah it was pretty easy to upgrade from coal to this

[somber smelt]

how is it less

im doin the math and it seems like its a lil better

the only difference is compacted coal ammount

that is higher with this alt

[spice patio]

Normal can benefit from Diluted Fuel to get more out of same amount of Crude Oil.

[mortal ginkgo]

^ basically.

considering how insane amount of Fuel one can get from a dilluted + heavy oil setup

hmm ill just make a machine with some containers and feed it myself

[somber smelt]

i build it in my main base where i have everythin

[golden nexus]

i just automated the automated wiring for the adaptive contorl units

[white dawn]

Eh, Batteries are just aluminum with an extra few steps, nothin' awful. :D

Though they are at least a little bit useless as of 1.0

Depending on circumstance they might be a decent choice for your first drone fuel, though I suspect most folks just go to packaged rocket fuel

[whole drum]

For me it's just that if I'm going to the trouble of making Aluminum, I'm not wasting it on batteries, lol

[somber smelt]

ahhh another hard drive expedition

[dim spoke]

do i actually need to automate adaptive control units, modular engines ;-;

[whole drum]

That's up to you

[dim spoke]

Doesnt endgame need so much of those

[spice patio]

500 for last phase when I quickly checked, unless I made mistake.

[white dawn]

ACU and ME are used for Phase 5 parts, but as with other SE parts, you technically only need a specific quantity to finish your deliveries

Some folks don't automate SE parts in general and just "hand feed" some machines until they've got what they need

[whole drum]

Basically, if you do automate them, you'll eventually have more than you need--but you'll be taxing your power a noticeable chunk for doing it.

[white dawn]

Personally I find them quite fun to automate, and they make for great coupon fodder once the deliveries are complete. But there's nothing that says you have to

[dim spoke]

1000 for it

hmm i think ill hand feed SE parts

[spice patio]

2 per assembly director, and 1 of those needed per 4 biochemical sculptors, and you need 1000 of those.
So 250 assembly directors, so 500 adaptive control units.

But ok, Phase 4 needs 1000.

As you need 500 assembly directors.

[dim spoke]

oh mb i was checking phase 4's parts

[lilac bear]

What's your preferred oil power approach?

[white dawn]

In Phase 3, I'd say it's most common for folks to settle on HOR + Diluted, to produce a lot of fuel from the given Crude Oil input

Some folks like doing Turbo, too, of course (and you could even do Turbo on top of HOR+Diluted, though IMO that's kind of overkill for Phase 3)

The vanilla fuel recipes can get you by for a bit, but HOR+Diluted makes your crude oil go a lot further

[whole drum]

YES

[lilac bear]

DEC, supposedly extracts kinetic energy from fast charged particles. As far as I know though, that's insanely experimental. And the rest of the world is still waiting on ITER to ever reach completion.

[whole drum]

There's a team that has working prototypes that started with a couple smaller ones, but recently began building a much larger one. They have proven it works, but I think there's still some fine tuning they are working on.

[lilac bear]

Ofcourse it works. There's a lot of types of fusion that work. But none of them have ever ran for a full day producing more power than it cost. That's why ITER is so important and they should've finished the bloody thing over 8 years ago.

[whole drum]

Breakthroughs take time. I'm cool with it. I'm just glad we're getting away from this primitive nonsense about boiling water to spin a turbine, lol.

Considering how long ITER has been taking, I'm not sure we'll see the result of the new approach before we're all dead.

The world isn't really a happy place right now, something that would help keeping international science teams going.

Well, assuming we're not all dead due to WW3, I think it'll be sooner than people think.

Yup, I have a smart plate factory here on 4 impure nodes ticking along at 56/min

[rugged shard]

For nodes and hard drives

[lilac bear]

Makes the radar tower kinda obsolete to be honest, once you use that site.

[whole drum]

I don't like impure nodes in the early phases, unless they come in pairs

[lilac bear]

The radar tower is for people who don't.

[rugged shard]

Also I discovered that you can buy parts on awesome shop and it rlly helps unlocking stuff

[placid stirrup]

I use both maps

[rugged shard]

Eh still

[golden nexus]

you know points get harder as you get them?

[whole drum]

Radar also says how many sphers, HDs, sloops, etc are still in radius (but not where)

[rugged shard]

Yes, I have like 50rn

[placid stirrup]

My points are so hard right now

[lilac bear]

If you're not interested in the golden nut it doesn't really matter much. But if you spend the first 100 tickets on parts, yea, that's going to take forever.

[golden nexus]

I am going the nut actually

[dim spoke]

what if i start mining uranium before ive unlocked it

[whole drum]

I think automating project parts and sinking them is probably a good approach to getting that achievement

[lilac bear]

Nothing wrong with that, you just can't do anything with it.

[dim spoke]

can i just setup an uranium miner before i do anything with it

[golden nexus]

My little smart plate factory get a poor 29,000 points/min

[whole drum]

Yes

[lilac bear]

Sure, the ore node isn't behind a lock or anything.

Just all the recipes are.

[whole drum]

You can sink raw uranium ore at any point

[lilac bear]

Make sure you keep a hazmat suit with filters on hand though.

[golden nexus]

The irony being my smart plate get 29k points, a uranium node gets 21k points @ 600/min

[ember belfry]

I'm afk lol

[lilac bear]

Especially if you decide to fill a storage container with uranium. You probably don't want to store uranium.

[dim spoke]

i dont have either

[whole drum]

Yeah, don't store it rofl

[lilac bear]

Storing uranium will give you a bad day.

[golden nexus]

But you will be warm

[ember belfry]

Also, I still have a Mk 1 miner on an impure limestone node connected to a single constructor somewhere.

[rugged shard]

I’m spending those tickets like a millionaire

[lilac bear]

Dead too, if you don't have a suit and filters.

[lilac bear]

Generally frowned upon, but it's your game. So have fun 🙂

Don't say we didn't warn you though.

[old grove]

how many coal generators can one water extractor fuel? Do i need one for each?

[lilac bear]

3 for 8.

[old grove]

i have 4 generators

[placid stirrup]

Like being on EBT and driving a Corvette

[old grove]

setting up coal power right now

[golden nexus]

Think i am up around 12M / ticket now

[lilac bear]

That's 1,5 water extractor then.

[old grove]

so 2 then

[placid stirrup]

Just build half of one

[white dawn]

As with other things in the game, you need to check the numbers. Take a look at the control panels for the machines in question! The coal generators will tell you that they need 45/min water. The water extractors tell you that they provide 120/min. You can do the math, then, to figure out how much is needed. :)

[lilac bear]

Or set it to 50% if you're really conscious about your power usage.

!wikisearch cg

[raven axle]

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

[white dawn]

The other thing to keep in mind is that mk1 pipes can carry a max throughput of 300/min :)

[old grove]

oh i got a bit carried away, im already at the ocean before checking anything

[white dawn]

Heh, nothing wrong with being eager! I'd just recommend checking the numbers for stuff like that, is all. The game gives you the info you'll need. :)

(MV sent over a link to the "standard" 8:3 coalgen setups which tend to get recommended, btw, so you can use that as a cheatsheet if you want. 8 coal gens require 360/min water (8 * 45 = 360), 3 extractors provide 120/min water (3 * 120 = 360), and the specific piping schemes suggested there mean that no single section of pipe needs to carry more than 300/min)

There's other piping schemes which can work fine, too; I actually don't usually use any of those

[shut lava]

Why use math when you can just guesstimate

[white dawn]

Guessing can get you pretty far in the game. :)

[placid stirrup]

Wait, why isn't my aluminum factory working?!

[shut lava]

Have you tried turning it on and back off again

[sinful goblet]

does some1 knows how i turn on god mode ingame when i have advanced option enabled?

[placid stirrup]

Mine has been running issue-free since I left it

[shut lava]

Mine is hooked up to coal gens

[placid stirrup]

If you don't recycle any water then sure it's straightforward

[shut lava]

Never recycle always pollute

[willow oar]

for weapons, the damage by weapon on the rifle is by ammo, or for the whole load of ammos compared to the pistol ? like 1 ammo of rifle +-= 1 ammo of pistol, or 20 ammos of rifle +-= 1 ammo of pistol ?

[open gust]

This game is making me realize I don’t actually hate math

[golden nexus]

its not matsh you hate, its the way schools teach it is what you hate

[fossil tusk]

how many things am i doing wrong at the same time

im 92 hours in and im not even close to finishing phase 3

• a lot of afk time

[golden nexus]

yeah you doing something wrong there is no afk time in this game needed

[fossil tusk]

besides building everything on terrain from the start of the game instead of building everything on foundations

[sinful goblet]

Can you enable the advanced setting within the new save?

[golden nexus]

this is fine/normal

[fossil tusk]

my save is such a mess

[golden nexus]

But sooner or later you gotta sort it out

[fossil tusk]

conveyors clipping through eachother everywhere

[open gust]

Today I got board and started doing percentages to see what I should over clock and how many smelters more I need if I overclock my miners

[fossil tusk]

i started building a modular engine factory but screw this i think im starting a new save

[stiff ibex]

Can someone help me? I am trying to make a foundry blueprint at 6 splitter height right above the exit. In a line where a lift from the exit would merge with said merger. However, unlike doing this with entry and splitter, as well as other assemblers, the merger just will not snap on the conveyor to match the exit position. I lined it up with a lift, stackable conveyors, other splitters, mergers.. But in that spot it just will not snap in place...

[placid stirrup]

Likely something else it wants to snap to, that happens when you have a bunch of inputs/outputs nearby

[stiff ibex]

It doesnt snap to anything

[placid stirrup]

You might have to delete an element here and there to get the right "order of operations". It may not look like it's snapping to anything, but it's confused

[stiff ibex]

I rebuilt the whole thing from scratch. Everything works except this one bit. May I share a screenshot here?

[placid stirrup]

In #screenshots

[wicked yew]

Dumb question as I think I know the answer but is there a factory layout planner app for android?
I wanna be able to plan out layouts whilst I'm away from my game

[golden nexus]

Think i finally stumbled on a use for a priority merger #screenshots message

[placid stirrup]

I think I saw Tools has an app now, @reef basin is that right?

[reef basin]

No

[placid stirrup]

K thx
Idk what I'm remembering then, maybe it was in a dream

[tranquil zinc]

I think I accidentally put 4 slops in sink 😨

[wicked yew]

I meant something like SaLT sort of layout so i can see building, conveyors etc to plan out where i can place them

[placid stirrup]

No, that doesn't exist. I've seen someone here in the past developing something like that but as far as mobile is concerned I couldn't say if that was supported.

[dawn mist]

Time for a stupid question.

How do I hotbar stuff?

Ctrl + # figured it out

[placid stirrup]

Hover over the thing in the build menu and press the number you want to bind it to

[placid stirrup]

Wait what is this

[dawn mist]

Me doing the same as your suggestion but pointlessly adding "Ctrl" to the list.

[placid stirrup]

LOL saved your pinky some effort in the future 🤣

[dawn mist]

[rugged shard]

Is alt: turbo heavy fuel good? Better than original?

[south sinew]

none of the turbo fuel recipes are really good, better to just use diluted fuel until rocket fuel

[rugged shard]

Really? Why

[south sinew]

turbofuel is a lot of hassle for not that much more power

[rugged shard]

Hmm, legit asked this question before and some said same some said no lmao

[south sinew]

diluted fuel provies plenty of power for very little effort

[hardy vector]

just put it in calculator/modeler and compare

[rugged shard]

Is 1 less turbofuel whit 1 less machine

[hardy vector]

there you have your answer

[rugged shard]

But rocket fuel still needs turbofuel either way

[south sinew]

there's a rocket fuel alt that doesn't require it

[rugged shard]

What it needs

[south sinew]

fuel, nitro gas, sulfur, and coal produces rocket fuel and compacted coal

[hardy vector]

!wikisearch rocket fuel

DLSS Swapper can detect it. It says DLSS 3.7.10.

Mann some of these factors yall make, makes my head hurt😅

[reef basin]

"better" depends on what do you personally call better. There's no "always better" or "always worse" with recipes, it depends on your preferences and other recipes in the chain

[glass pagoda]

Hi greeny 😛

How is everyone doing

Hello?

where is everyone

Guess ill leave

[royal zenith]

Anyone here german

[strong fiber]

Anyone got the ratios for 600/min baux setup

[placid stirrup]

There's like 5!

[hardy vector]

use calculator/modeler

[tidal flame]

is there always this small pause when you open something in moded satisfactory

[sullen gull]

The clock rates?

[leaden dome]

how do trains measure incoming transfer rate? mine are totally wrong and i cant figure out why

[sullen gull]

Or, like the 1:1 rate is with sloppy, electrode, pure. 180 water, 600 bauxite, and like 240 pet coke iirc.

[fossil tusk]

how long did it take you guys to finish the game

[golden nexus]

I started a save a while ago and got all milestones unlocked in 60 hours

[fossil tusk]

does your stuff look nice or is it a total clipping spaghetti mess

cause mine is spaghetti conveyors clipping through everything and i hate it

[golden nexus]

yes and no, you be the judge #screenshots message

theres some temp stuff still on the floor... trying to pick it up

Be aware though in this sort of approach you kinda "off shore" the floors or chunks of buildings at some stage later when you can't scale them up any more

[near stratus]

Sup stinkies

[golden nexus]

My copper production apparently, I added 2,400/min smelter 🙂

[near stratus]

As you do

Im trying to get adaptive control units

This shit sucks 😭

[golden nexus]

yes, I am trying to do them as well.. but late game version.

[surreal hull]

so like quick question

how the fuff does one make good looking buildings?

i dont wanna concrete cube :(

[hollow bay]

quick question, what's the best starting locaion?

[surreal hull]

idk

[leaden turret]

make asphalt cube

[surreal hull]

i like northern foresrt

[golden nexus]

So I have all the bits, But this belt in front of me need to be at the top of that building lol #screenshots message

[mortal ginkgo]

rocky desert

[hollow bay]

watch some kibitz vids for inspiration I'd say

[hollow bay]

ight thanks

[near stratus]

I mean honestly its not thaaaaaaaat bad, because ive already got heavy modular frames set up, and they were probably the most painful, but i stil need to set up compoopers, circuit boards and automated wiring

[leaden turret]

[near stratus]

I wouldn´t know, i don´t bother 😂

[near stratus]

Oh XD

[golden nexus]

Or... most of the bits in that build eg circuit board and computers need to come to this building 🙂

[surreal hull]

thanks

[golden nexus]

I am not trying to do adapative ocntorl units, I am trying to do the part after it and the part after that part as well

[near stratus]

Ah i see

[near stratus]

Im gonna automate just the control units, unlock tier 7 (I think?) and then im gonna make a turbofuel powerplant

Which i have been made aware can be extremely painfuil soooooo....

[golden nexus]

One way to do it is have 3-4 factories and rail the stuff to a single location which assembles the part

[near stratus]

Thats probably what im gonna do, i´ll have to figure out how to use trains tho

The signals and all the logistics are kinda intimidating ngl

But oh shmell

[vague briar]

are there still going to be content updates to this game?

[golden nexus]

theres one due in new few months

[vague briar]

peak

[surreal hull]

some of this archetecture stuff is just insane

how do they even have these ideas

[near stratus]

Some people just dedicate themselfes to trying to make these kinds of things

It like how Lets game it out dedicates himself to bringing chaos, but the opposite

[surreal hull]

its actually crazy

i wanna make good looking factory :(

i might be a thousand hours to early xD

[vague briar]

my factory looks buns 🥹

[near stratus]

Well, if you dedicate yourself to it, im sure you´ll get there

But tbh In the start just accsept its gonna look horrible

[surreal hull]

my biggest issue is i suck at coming up with ideas for stuff

[near stratus]

Because im sorry to say but everything you build in the start you´re gonna tear down and rebuild in a better way, and astetics is just more shit to desconstruct

[golden nexus]

you need to start and keep making mistakes sooner or later you run out of bad idea which means only good idea remain

[surreal hull]

i dont think thats how that works but it somehow makes perfect sense

[vague briar]

look at screenshots rq

[near stratus]

They are so peak

[vague briar]

ik

[surreal hull]

thats what my stuff looks like :D except i dont put anything not on foundations xD

i need that grid

everything must be lined up

[near stratus]

What stage are you on?

[royal zenith]

WHO is german

[surreal hull]

just finihsed phase 2 so teir 4-6

[surreal hull]

that one guy

[eager harbor]

my friend

[peak wasp]

I bought a new gaming laptop who wants to criticize the specs for me

[near stratus]

I see. Once you reach like maybe stage 4, thats probably when you could start going for astherics

[surreal hull]

cant wait till i need 150 machines to make an item at 1/min :D

[peak wasp]

I'm so happy to play satisfactory again at high definition

[eager harbor]

🤣

[surreal hull]

dosnt mean i need to complelty ignore it now

[near stratus]

I say probably because i will never care about astetics lol

[surreal hull]

can still make basic buildings

concrete cubes dont count

those are eye sores

[near stratus]

Yea, do what you want honestly, its your own factory

I build layers of platforms without walls lol

[leaden dome]

but what if its a really big cube

[eager harbor]

[surreal hull]

if you gonna go through the effort of making a massive cube might as well make it a pretty cube too

[eager harbor]

pretty cube

[near stratus]

Thats my life at this point, trying to automate adaptive control units q_q

[unkempt blade]

still needs more colors - gray is too gray #screenshots message

[eager harbor]

oh no I need those for phase 3 no?

[leaden dome]

#screenshots message

[ornate saffron]

I started with cubes then added depth

Now ....
Well my last build looked like a crocodile

[unkempt blade]

can I see the crocodile? that sounds delightful

[surreal hull]

do you build the building or the factory first

[eager harbor]

all my builds are spaghetti conveyors 🤣

[near stratus]

Yea, only 100 tho, but im still getting headaces thinking about all the logistical stuff

[surreal hull]

disgusting

[ornate saffron]

Im a factory layout first.

[surreal hull]

how do you do that without just placing them all down on the same level in neat and oginized rows?

[eager harbor]

I started 2 days ago and am on phase 3 now

so chill

[unkempt blade]

I usually do at least some general spacing the factory before I do the decoration part and I leave myself a little more room than I think I'll need

[ornate saffron]

Ill try to remember for later. Atm I waiting for my intake exam for eye surgery

[unkempt blade]

I hope your new robot laser eyes are really amazing!

[granite mantle]

hi I am trying to play with a different person I'm on steam using boosteroid and he's on epic we cant seem to be able to connect to a game with each other does anyone have any tips?

[near stratus]

I have an asthetic idea for you, what if you buy the slanted walls and platforms from the awsome shop and make a cube but with slanted top sides

[ornate saffron]

I think of things in the formats of the games blue printers.

So 4x4, 5x5 and 6x6 cubes.

[eager harbor]

... is my answer

[upper gale]

Back when I made buildings around them, I would do the factory first. Only way to know the size to fit the factory

[granite mantle]

fair we have no clue why it isnt working wither

either*

[ornate saffron]

Maybe there is help in #dedicated-servers

[surreal hull]

i see, i currently only got blueprints for constructor, smelter, and foundry manifold lanes

[granite mantle]

thank you i

[unkempt blade]

If you're not seeing errors on the client side you might check if the host gives you any sort of log

[ornate saffron]

So think of things in a 4x4 cubes. It helps with general spacing

[upper gale]

I mean if you don't want that then yeah you'll have to plan beforehand

[unkempt blade]

I self host a dedicated server and it spits out lots of reasons when stuff goes boom

[peak wasp]

is a 4060 enough to run satisfactory late game

[granite mantle]

i get a error there is no effects on the host

[ornate saffron]

I rub it late game on a 3060 mobile gpu just fine

[upper gale]

Yeah it's enough, it's what I'm using rn actually

[peak wasp]

nice

[surreal hull]

what caused the lag?

at late game is the gpu the bottleneck?

[ornate saffron]

No my processor suffers more then my gpu

And ram

[surreal hull]

is 32gb enough ram xD?

[ornate saffron]

I think so

[upper gale]

Course

[unkempt blade]

internet sounds like it might be Advanced Game Settings related but I'm not really familiar with that error myself

[granite mantle]

k

[ornate saffron]

I bought ram when it was cheap. My laptop and desk top both have 64gb.

But it ran fine on my laptop when it had 16gb

[surreal hull]

flexing your ram on us huh?

[ornate saffron]

Naw, its all ddr4 and 4 plus years old

[surreal hull]

oh

well i currently got ddr4

but imma get ddr5 soon, only like all the moneys

[ornate saffron]

Nothing wrong with that. Pc components are moving backwards as nvidia announced it is producing 3060s again

[surreal hull]

yea but i gotta get a new gpu anyways

mine exploded yesterday

[upper gale]

Huh

[surreal hull]

started shooting flames at me :(

no m,ore rx 6750 xt for me

:(

[ornate saffron]

New to the game? Have you acquired a copy of satisfactory yet?

[unkempt blade]

yeah not feeling as bad about spending the money as much as I was a year ago 😆

[surreal hull]

iv played before

played back when update 6 was a big deal

[vague briar]

why is the closest source of oil 1 minute away through the tubes 🥹

[strong fiber]

I got 600 extra baux/min bruh

[ornate saffron]

From the tubes?

[surreal hull]

hypercannon

[vague briar]

yeah those i think

[surreal hull]

no make a hyper cannon with the hyper tubes

[unkempt blade]

The game wants you to expand as you get into later phases. Add some boosters to your tubes if you don't want to enjoy the scenery #screenshots message

[ornate saffron]

Human cannon is my least favorite traveling method.

[vague briar]

oh uh

[surreal hull]

launch yourself at mach 10

[ornate saffron]

My preferred transit method is train or zipline. The hypertubes trigger my motion sickness

[upper gale]

No wait that's the first person I've seen use hypertubes normally, please don't convert them /lol jk

[surreal hull]

xD

[vague briar]

the slide jump movement speed is so nice

[surreal hull]

oh yea , i like it more with the bladerunners

[drowsy kelp]

Bladerunners in general is good

[surreal hull]

facts

[drowsy kelp]

While it doesn’t sound like much the increased jump height is definitely nice

[vague briar]

rn im broke so.......

[surreal hull]

you cant be that broke if you got hypertubes

blade runners are cheap

[drowsy kelp]

Shred the hypertube materials and buy the supplies for bladerunners if you must

[vague briar]

fuh no

[surreal hull]

its under quarts in the mam

[vague briar]

im not running all the way and placing those tubes again

idk if ive gotten quartz

[drowsy kelp]

Hypertubes are slow anyway

[vague briar]

for me its the cheapest way of travel rn

[surreal hull]

how do you got hypertubes and not quarts

[drowsy kelp]

Legs are free

[surreal hull]

quartz?

[drowsy kelp]

And legs are even better with bladerunners

[vague briar]

i have to actively do something for those

[surreal hull]

whats the difference

[drowsy kelp]

Yeah

[upper gale]

-# I mean technically you really can get bladerunners for free but that's a secret
-# COUGH west coast cave COUGH

[drowsy kelp]

Quarts is the plural of quart, the unit of measurement

[surreal hull]

[drowsy kelp]

Quartz is the silicon dioxide

[surreal hull]

its the purple rock

[vague briar]

rn im just trying to get some power

[surreal hull]

coal gens?

[vague briar]

not enough 🥹

[surreal hull]

8 = mk2 belt of coal and 3 water pumps

makes 600 MW

how do u have hypertubes and not coal gens?

[drowsy kelp]

Make more coal gens

[surreal hull]

are you not ASAC?

[drowsy kelp]

ASAC?

[vague briar]

i have coal gens

[surreal hull]

as soon as coal

[vague briar]

it just doesnt make enough power

[drowsy kelp]

Again, make more coal gens

[surreal hull]

shivers biofuel

[versed cosmos]

make 8 more

and if that isnt enough, another 8

[spare cradle]

Always, make, moar.

[upper gale]

but it makes more than burners

[surreal hull]

yes make MOAR

xD

[versed cosmos]

people suggest 8 coal gens not because it is enough but because the numbers are clean and easy to remember

[surreal hull]

yea plus its easy to supply

[drowsy kelp]

(120 coal 360 water per 8 gens)

[surreal hull]

mk2 belt supplies 8 coal gens

3 water pumps makes the 360 water

ez pz

[spare cradle]

I'm personally going to stand on 32 coal gens that that I will get the wonderful rocket fuel I think. A regular turbo fuel gen will take stead when I have a large enough power storage to sufficient my current factories.

[vague briar]

well the issue is the closest water and coal deposit are super far away

[drowsy kelp]

So go super far away

Use power towers or something

[surreal hull]

make the coal gens there and run power lines

[versed cosmos]

Build near the water, move the coal

[vague briar]

also i made one of those oil gen things so im trying to get that to work

[spare cradle]

Explore.

[vague briar]

i transport water and coal to my base.

[surreal hull]

thats wrong

[spare cradle]

Also it s a petrol gen, not oil <3

[drowsy kelp]

That is very inefficient

[versed cosmos]

yeah youre making it harder on yourself

[vague briar]

i dont wanna have to run back and forth if something goes wrong

[surreal hull]

then make it right

[drowsy kelp]

Why would something go wrong

[surreal hull]

also

[vague briar]

idk 🤷

No, But connecting an ore belt to an ingot belt is good fun to resolve

they should use vehicles instead, much easier

I mean a good factory won’t fix that

[surreal hull]

the most normal person here

[vague briar]

i dont have the resources to craft vehicles rn ngl

[drowsy kelp]

Then what resources do you have

[vague briar]

i just remake my base according to the milestone im gonna make

[surreal hull]

if you dont got resources to make a tractor thing then you cclearly have no resources at all

[unkempt blade]

not with that attitude you don't!

[drowsy kelp]

You have hypertubes and oil but not coal power or vehicles

[vague briar]

i have coal power

[surreal hull]

wait

[vague briar]

i prob have the stuff to make vehicles

[unkempt blade]

coal can fuel tractors

[surreal hull]

your tearing down all your basics factories?

[vague briar]

no

[surreal hull]

no plates and rods and screws just cuz?

[unkempt blade]

his not tearing down all his basic factories

[surreal hull]

i made a factory for the basics then made a differecnt factory for the other stuff

[versed cosmos]

Specifically, factory carts!

[surreal hull]

no

10 tickets or whatever for a lil cart?

[versed cosmos]

lmao we're kidding

[surreal hull]

what a waaste, i need the coffee cup first

[vague briar]

do i need to remove the polymer resin for the refinery to keep working

[surreal hull]

yea

[versed cosmos]

Yup

[surreal hull]

turn it into plastic

make fuel containers

package your fuel

What about cyber wagon or whatever it’s called

[vague briar]

well now the oil power thing is working i just need to fix the coal for my coal gens!!

You can beat the game o that if you clock everything down to 1% and wait until the heat death of the universe

[upper gale]

Need to keep everything in the refineries running

Use smart splitters going into a sink

[ornate saffron]

Coffee in the hub. Back to work

[surreal hull]

does anyone else use the boombox instead of spotify>?

or am i just weird?

[placid stirrup]

Sometimes, the 80s synth playlists have more songs though

[surreal hull]

i listen to the music as background noise to help me focus

not for the music

[sullen gull]

Not anymore lol. Can only listen to the same songs so many times through 4K+ hours 😛

[surreal hull]

what a sweat

[ornate saffron]

I lile the deep rock ost.

I also use it to launch aggressive wildlife off cliffs

[surreal hull]

i usually just have absaloute ficsit playing

[upper gale]

For me I like both sanctum ones

[surreal hull]

those are nice too

[ornate saffron]

Generally I play with the game audio going to the headphones and not on my head.

Then I listen to music or watch something on my pc speakers

[spare cradle]

They do take some time to fill out but it works

[surreal hull]

worth it

load balancers are just so

clunky and big and yucky

[ornate saffron]

I try to hand feed as much as I can into the manifolds. This cuts doen the time to wind up

[surreal hull]

i really wish they would accept input without having power

[versed cosmos]

Load balances for power and some small early factories before you get faster belts

Then manifolds all the fuckin way

[sullen gull]

Also not needed

[surreal hull]

yea just use manifolds fromt eh sttartt

[ornate saffron]

They don't via conveyor but you can manually fill it from inventory

[surreal hull]

that takes forever though especially with larger manifolds

stuck with just cutting off the ouputs if i wanna get them full

[versed cosmos]

Attach a container to the first splitter and fill it

[surreal hull]

sighs

[sullen gull]

Let it fill while building. 🤷‍♂️

[versed cosmos]

Use your fastest belt

[sullen gull]

FICSIT TIP NO. 19 Faster belts don't necessarily mean faster production.

[surreal hull]

i do tend to just use mk1 on the machine inuts

[mellow mason]

is it possible to apply the caterium finish to your pioneer?

[surreal hull]

and i only got mk 3 belts

3:

[versed cosmos]

Of course. I was adding to my previous comment about using a container on the input.

[sullen gull]

I just like throwing that tip out there 😏

[versed cosmos]

Fair enough lol

[spare cradle]

Nothing like mk1s in some places

[surreal hull]

huh, yk? iv never connected a manifold to the input while building it

[spare cradle]

No.

[sullen gull]

Only time I ever get to see them is when playing multiplayer lol

[surreal hull]

wouldnt matter though cuz i just make a blueprint of them

would outpace the input by alot

[vague briar]

is there something better than the miner mk2

[mellow mason]

so theres no way to make it match the gold helmet?

[sullen gull]

But, I also do stuff like this: #design-and-architecture message

[surreal hull]

is there a miner mk3? iv never gotten taht far

[nova ridge]

I have a 10700k, 32 gb 3600 ram, 3080, nvme 2tb pc. What would you upgrade first to optimize satisfactory? Noticing frame drops in large open areas and busy belted areas mid game

[surreal hull]

omggg i need me a main control room

[ornate saffron]

Mk2 overclocked.

Mark3

Mark 3 overclocked

[surreal hull]

not that id use it, but i need it anyways

[vague briar]

how do i even overclock things

[surreal hull]

power shards, glow slugs

[sullen gull]

Unlocking Clocking in the MAM

Under the Slug tree

[nova ridge]

Wish I could synthesize power shards

[ornate saffron]

Unlock in the mam slug tree

Don't sleep on the mam research.

[ornate saffron]

You can eventually

[surreal hull]

mam everything asap

[leaden dome]

how long of a period do cargo platforms and stuff use to monitor throughput?

[sullen gull]

You'll get there 😉

[ornate saffron]

I the mean time run your slugs through a constructor while it is slooped

[nova ridge]

Just built 300/min aluminum
So far

[surreal hull]

iv never unlocked the production amplifier

[nova ridge]

I figure after it’s after phase 4?

[drowsy kelp]

Forget what

[surreal hull]

i always forget

[nova ridge]

Synthesize power shard

[ornate saffron]

I always start with one bauxite nod worth of aluminum scrape and scale up if needed

[drowsy kelp]

Those are tier 9, yeah

[nova ridge]

Gotcha

I made a train that goes my whole map. That took some time

[versed cosmos]

Nice man

[golden nexus]

Also know as test your power supply

[sullen gull]

I always just say f it and build for making all 12,300 baux into 12,300 ingots 😏

[versed cosmos]

What alts you using?

[drowsy kelp]

Nothing a big enough stack of power storages can’t handle

[surreal hull]

is it worth to overclock generators? i personally like to just not and just make more

[nova ridge]

None

[versed cosmos]

Worth it

[golden nexus]

At 10GW a machine......

[drowsy kelp]

OCing generators is linear isn’t it?

[surreal hull]

yea

[versed cosmos]

aluminium with no alts???

[surreal hull]

but i only got mk 3 belt s

[nova ridge]

Haven’t unlocked most

[drowsy kelp]

Might as well just build another gen and save the shards

[nova ridge]

I’ve found 150 shards so been using them more liberally rather than rebuild

[drowsy kelp]

100 power storages for an hour of power

[nova ridge]

It’s not a lot of shards but it helps

[surreal hull]

mk3 could supply 9 200% coal gens

thats 1350 MW

[nova ridge]

I need a teleport mod

[surreal hull]

but mk 1 pipes :(

[drowsy kelp]

Tier 9

[dense violet]

what about them?

[golden nexus]

use cannon

[surreal hull]

300 watter flow rate

[sullen gull]

If I didn't overclock my gens for the build I have been working on, I would need 2,533 of them. Vs only 672 😏

[drowsy kelp]

What’s the problem

[dense violet]

!wikisearch CG

[raven axle]

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

[drowsy kelp]

Each coal gen only needs 90 water at 200% OC

[dense violet]

very easy to do coal power with mk1 pipes
its like they had it in mind

[vague briar]

what do i do with the gifts

[surreal hull]

200% coal gen uses 90 water so i could only get 3 gens off a pipe

[dense violet]

... so?

[drowsy kelp]

Make more pipes

Are you actually trying to run everything through one pipe

[dire grail]

If I needed help with design of water to a coal power thing where could I ask? I've been stuck on this for like 2 hours 😭

[surreal hull]

no looks away

[sullen gull]

8 gens, at 100% use 360 water. plumbing it like above, with mk1 pipes, allows it to work just fine

[surreal hull]

difenitly not

[versed cosmos]

#1038092680493801533 !!!

[dense violet]

64 coal gens with mk1 pipes https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/558721941410807812/1439217940141441107/image.png?ex=695e45a8&is=695cf428&hm=b978e1116ed498f8a1c8f87c687f098a5bf4e415833982756a520099306dcc23&=&format=webp&quality=lossless

also, probably don't bother with over clocking them, it doesn't get you more power per coal, jus saves space. Which you have infinite of

[drowsy kelp]

The stackable pipe supports exist

[dire grail]

Thanks Joe 🙂

[leaden dome]

post screenshots also if its water flow problem

[spare cradle]

Lovely non OCd coal gens only doing 2.4k mw with only mk2 conveyors

[sullen gull]

Make a post in #1038092680493801533 with screenshots of the setup

[dense violet]

!wikisearch cg

[raven axle]

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

[dense violet]

these are very convenient layouts for them 🙂

[spare cradle]

I have mk4 conveyors, but I have no use for them except for things that need that speed

[surreal hull]

i would need so much water pumps

[sullen gull]

Why? how many lines going up?

[surreal hull]

250% water pump only doess 300

[leaden dome]

build more

[sullen gull]

You mean extractor.

[surreal hull]

yeaa those

[drowsy kelp]

I use mk4 for everything simply because i can dimensional depot the beams from anywhere without resupply runs

[sullen gull]

Well, lingo does matter a bit lol. Like, "pumps" are ideallly only use for pushing water UP

[surreal hull]

ill just wait till gas gens to make a super big power plant like a normal person

their next on the unlock list

after oil prodcution actually

[spare cradle]

I have concrete in my DD instead bc building structures takes a bit.

[eager harbor]

[drowsy kelp]

I do too

[eager harbor]

[drowsy kelp]

Not plates yet fsr, i have the spheres for it

[surreal hull]

can gas gens fit in the mk1 blueprint maker?

[spare cradle]

And I normally have a k of other materials required for building

[spare cradle]

Are they within a 32m x 32m square?

[surreal hull]

id

idk, id ont got them unlocked yet

[spare cradle]

Check the wiki

[leaden dome]

i think you can fit one

[sullen gull]

only one I bellieve

[surreal hull]

1 is enough to make a blueprint then

unless it uses all the space

[sullen gull]

Use a mk2 and you can do two per

[spare cradle]

Barely enough

20x20x27 lwh

[leaden dome]

i think you can fit four in a mk2

[vague briar]

holy i might need to reset my entire base to make this more effecient

[heavy swift]

im having problem with water for my generators, could someone lend me a hand?

[leaden dome]

wait no you cant

nvm

[sullen gull]

I am not a fan of the cram and having then turned.

[surreal hull]

ahh :(

[vague briar]

and just to make everything possible

[surreal hull]

what kinda problems

[sullen gull]

I believe you can if you put one at each corner. Maybe it was only three though, I forget now.

[heavy swift]

there is no water in the pipe to the generator and i have 4 waterpumps

[spare cradle]

Are they facing the right direction?

[versed cosmos]

Dismantle and rebuild fixes most fluid issues

[sullen gull]

Firstly, pumps are only used to push water up. Second, make a most in #1038092680493801533 with screenshots

[spare cradle]

And how high are you taking it?

[versed cosmos]

If not that, maybe headlift or trying to push more than 300/min throygh a mk1 pipe

[leaden dome]

nevermind, found my blueprint, you totally can

[heavy swift]

will try to do

[leaden dome]

you gotta squeeze em tight but they fit into regular rows

[sullen gull]

Not "regular" imo. I like to be able to walk around my factories 😏

[versed cosmos]

You don't fly above everything with hoverpack?

[heavy swift]

just posted

[leaden dome]

you wouldnt have been able to walk in the space that its cramming anyways because of the pipes?

[sullen gull]

When building, sure

[sullen gull]

One sec..

[sullen gull]

#screenshots message

[leaden dome]

jesus

yeah no level of walkability will ever make me use lowered spines

[sullen gull]

Lowered spines?

The pipes underneath?

[leaden dome]

yes

the spine of the manifold being below the machines is what I mean

[vague jetty]

Can someone tell me how I start the process of building the fixmus tree

[sullen gull]

Firstly, it's going to be gas. If it wasn't I bring the manifold above the floor and only the feed lines, with plenty of headlift, come up from the floor...

[drowsy kelp]

What’s wrong with it
