satisfactory

[pulsar sun]

Yes train thing

But what is its use for transportation?

[rose lintel]

guessing you havent played transport fever 2

[opaque wren]

Resources that are to far from your factory. Or resources from a remote factory.

[pulsar sun]

Let's not deviate from satisfactory topic

[pulsar sun]

Remote factory?

[dusky hedge]

there is software to make controllers work as keypresses, not perfect but i used to use xpadder for the old xbox controller and it was good for most stuff

[pulsar sun]

Thank you but now I buyed this I don't need any more but i will try it on other game when I purchase to try if it works or not ☺

[opaque wren]

Well you start in one area. You build a factory and do "stuff". Then you will need more "stuff" - that requires more advanced ressources that are far away. So you either pick those rare resources and bring them to your base. Or make a factory there, next to rare resources, and send the end-product to your "main base".

[pulsar sun]

Ohh i see 👀

[rose lintel]

it does seem depite the static map there are multiple ways to play

[opaque wren]

The general approach is to process resources on site (it's especially valid for liquids, and then send the end-product back home.

[whole drum]

There are many ways for sure

[pulsar sun]

Their where 4 types of areas to start are all areas on same planet? I choose the 1st one because it says everything is near and easy to understand as a begginer

[whole drum]

It's all same map

[opaque wren]

Yes, they are all on the same map. You can travel to either of them.

[pulsar sun]

Meaning I will find desert also on the same game world that i created?

[whole drum]

Personally, I feel like the devs troll people with the start location descriptions, lol

[rose lintel]

yea i just started rocky desert, feels like i have more space to build

[opaque wren]

Yes, all 4 regions are accessible. You only select where your "starting area" is. But the map is the same.

[rose lintel]

id be willing to bet that one day they will release a second map

[whole drum]

If I had to start over without knowing anything, I would hope people would recommend N. Forest to me.

[pulsar sun]

Ok thank you all for help hope if anyone plays multiplayer than he/she can invite to see thier creation as a tourist 😄

[opaque wren]

I think Grasslands is the worse. Unless you plan to play until you unlock like..oil and then restart.

[dusky hedge]

i think its only appropriate for newbies, for pros the harder ones are much easier to progress in

pros dont listen to recommendations 🙂

[rose lintel]

it was usful for me to learn the basics of the game, lots of resources right there

once i needed coal it was kind of a pain in the but though

[whole drum]

N. Forest has everything you need to get to Phase 3 without having to go too far from your starting base, at which point expanding more makes way more sense and you will have the tools to do comfortably.

[opaque wren]

I don't think a starting location that has difficulty in reaching trains is good for beginers.

Sure, make it low on end-game resources.

[rose lintel]

was debating on should I just restart or take my machines and....

https://tenor.com/view/saruman-lord-of-the-rings-lotr-rip-them-all-down-gif-14471792

[opaque wren]

But not for critical early logistics.

I remember scanning for oil the first time and it was 2.3 km.

[whole drum]

That's something else. People like to talk about the verticality of N. Forest, but it's actually easy to do trains there.

[near stratus]

Should i add a water tower to my turbofuel plant to help with sloshing? Or is that a bad idea (I suppose it would be a turbofuel tower)

[whole drum]

And the centralized map location makes expansion logistics way more sensible

Water towers suck and can actually make sloshing worse if not done precisely.

[near stratus]

Hmmm

Ive been making my pipes go in like a wave kind of motion to help with sloshing too, is that also bad?

[whole drum]

The most useful thing about water towers is just knowing how they work since that helps with general fluids knowledge.

[near stratus]

I´ll send a picture in screenshots if that helps

[whole drum]

Sure

[near stratus]

#screenshots message Ive been making them go up and down like this because i heard that was a good idea to help brevent sloshing

[whole drum]

There are better ways to go about that

We were actually discussing it earlier, in fact

Scroll up the screenshots a little and you can see a double-fed manifold

Feeding from both sides helps

[near stratus]

Oooo

[whole drum]

Keeping pipes full, then matching input/output helps

[near stratus]

#screenshots message So im supposed to do it like this?

[whole drum]

And having the feeder pipes that come off the mainline of a manifold go downhill (even slightly) may also help

[whole drum]

Yeah, either of those is okay

[near stratus]

I see... i´ll have to do some redesigning it seems

[whole drum]

Full pipes is by far the most helpful thing tho

[near stratus]

Like letting it run for a bit before turning on the gens?

To fill up the pipes?

[whole drum]

Pre-fill them before turning on machines that pull from them

[near stratus]

I see i see

Also, i have a fluid buffer infront of each machine, is that necessary?

[whole drum]

But yeah, you don't need water towers. Just use pumps correctly and headlift is easy.

Buffers suck, except for trains. Avoid using them.

[near stratus]

Oh :(

[whole drum]

They can create a lot of headaches if not done properly

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/File:Pipeline_Manual.pdf

Give this a gander when you have about 20m

[near stratus]

I see...

[near stratus]

Ty, i´ll be reading this 👍

[whole drum]

When you understand the manual, you will see why the stuff I said makes sense 😉

[reef basin]

You can't prevent sloshing

[whole drum]

Also, you don't really need to use most of the "advanced" stuff in the last few pages of it in most cases

[whole drum]

Technically, no. You can't. What we mean by it is that we prevent unnecessary sloshing or try to reduce its impact.

Buffers are a great way to introduce a lot of extra sloshing if they are setup particularly poorly.

[opaque wren]

Seems to much of a hassle to deal with this mechanic.

best way is to simply assume some loses and join the "I hate pipes" group 🙂

[whole drum]

I would agree that it is very unintuitive at first. However, I find it quite rewarding to learn the intricacies about it and how to make things work properly, or fashion work-arounds that make sense.

[rugged jasper]

Best recipe for Stator and Motor ?

[reef basin]

Hating pipea is fine, but do not join the "pipes are buggy" group, that one is just wrong 🙂

[opaque wren]

I have 40 fuel gens connected. The last one seems to be working on 66% so it's not ...terrible.

[reef basin]

Depends on preferences

[dense violet]

up to how you like to make them

where you are
how many pm you need
what else you're making

[rugged jasper]

I made a mega steel production line tho

[dense violet]

make lots of steel then? the solid steel recipe can increase your output of steel over base if you get it

[rugged jasper]

I made that last night 🙂

[whole drum]

It really depends on the resources you have available and which alts you have unlocked. There are methods that are easy, but materially "inefficient," and there are ways that require extra setup but produce higher yields.

[rugged jasper]

270 steel beam
700 steel pipes 🥹

[whole drum]

With the right recipes, you can do an entire production chain of motors with just Iron, for example.

[reef basin]

That sounds like way too much tbh

[reef basin]

With just a lot of iron

[rugged jasper]

better be safe than sorry right 😄

[whole drum]

Yeah, iron pipes are very resource intensive.

[reef basin]

Eh, I'd say no, I'd just build what I actually need instead of trying to prepare for the future

[rugged jasper]

alrighty

[whole drum]

I almost don't like iron pipes, but sometimes it is just what I need.

I mostly don't like iron wire either, for that matter, but again... sometimes it's convenient to not need copper.

Anyhow, think it's time for some rest.

🫡

[near stratus]

#screenshots message Ok so if im understanding this right this ssetup should be fine

Each refinery uses 150 oil per minute and the input is 600, and then i have 2 more of these going into 8 more refineries

12 in total running aat 250% clock speed

[craggy leaf]

is there a catwalk with only the floor? i want to add the railings my self

[native tapir]

Yes

[craggy leaf]

name?

if you mean the intersection, thats not what im after

i wanted a straight catwalk but no railings on oneside

[wispy osprey]

How do you load balance fluids when the input source is an average and not a flat rate

[dusky hedge]

if you mean 2 inputs then if the pipes arent full then valves have been my best way to prevent sloshing at the intersection

[dense violet]

you really can't load balance fluids

valves are also not reliable solution to... any pipe issue

[dusky hedge]

long story but i found a pretty vauable use for them as i described there

[dense violet]

correlation not causation there

most people go 'buffers/valves fixed my problems!' when it was really something else done 5 minutes ago or just the system stabalising on their own

[wispy osprey]

As long as the pipes are 100% guaranteed to stay filled enough for a valve to work

[dense violet]

and the nthe valve doesn't do anything if it's full

it's just there

[dusky hedge]

they encourage it when pumping into a vertical pipe

[dense violet]

they do not

[wispy osprey]

I've read 2 different pipe handbooks and vertical setups use no valves period

[dusky hedge]

youi cant say they do not, only that youi havent been able to get them to do it

[dense violet]

years of pipe experience and yes I can 🙂

again 'correlation is not causation'

they are not a reliable backflow preventer and machine consumption restrict flow

[rugged jasper]

who can gimme some tips on how to make good early/mid game sink factory ?

[wispy osprey]

Why couldn't fluids just be static like factorio instead of this chaotic mess

[dusky hedge]

correlation is not always causation, a better way to say it

[dense violet]

no, correlation is not causation because this is correlation.

[dusky hedge]

but to share the appropriate info, when they are the same thing it makes more sense

[dense violet]

pick an item you think you will enjoy making - build the factory?

honestly the easiest thing is to just sink over flow of what you're already making

[dense violet]

and this is not the case

[wispy osprey]

I want a secret patch to the game that has easier fluid management

[dense violet]

this isn't some 'vocal minority' giving you problems here

[cobalt harness]

Should i use solid bio fuel to automatically make solid bio fuel or should i make solid bio fuel manually?

[dense violet]

I mean automating that step is usually useful

[rugged jasper]

but some materials give more than others right ?

[dense violet]

and? sinking the extra you're already making is no extra work

[wispy osprey]

I still have my old abandoned solid biofuel plant

Mushrooms make so much of it that it isn't that useful now

[dense violet]

the sink points are vaguely tied to effort of making it seems so really pick your poison

[cobalt harness]

Does plants respawn?

[wispy osprey]

They respawn in major patch releases

[rugged jasper]

I will google this

[dense violet]

!wikisearch awesome_sink

[raven axle]

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

[dense violet]

should be a list there

[wispy osprey]

Coupons aren't useful passed a certain point

Anything that fixes fluids gets immediate approval from me though

[green fiber]

Yeah sorry, modding can only be tested on PC

[frosty mirage]

Hey guys, I am new to the game on ps5, I got 36 hours for now. Is this community open to help new players? 👀

[wispy osprey]

Static rate and removal of sloshing would make me play this game much more than I do now

[green fiber]

No we eat them

[dense violet]

ask your question and you'll probably receive

[green fiber]

Not quite what it does. Beloe max flow it can still oscillate but usually it oscillates much more closely around the "expected" value.
Max flow pipes do maintain flow stably though

[wispy osprey]

Good, 600m³ is a trap

[green fiber]

Slosh still exists, but it doesnt appear where it technically shouldnt be able to appear

[wispy osprey]

Currently*

I just.... dread aluminum water recycling

Aluminum may be the second time I pull a guide/tutorial build for efficiency

[dense violet]

why? aluminium water reuse is really really simple

and you often don't get close to using 600 pm

[wispy osprey]

I wouldn't want to in that situation anyway

[dense violet]

I mean keep the fresh and waste split and you're basically done

[wispy osprey]

Unless the rate doesn't force machines to stop

[green fiber]

Keep the waters seperate

Dont mix and you won't have issues

[wispy osprey]

Instant scrap + water byproduct then?

[dense violet]

what about it? feed some of the waste water into the acid machines

[wispy osprey]

Hmm

[green fiber]

Instant has a closed water loop

The water from the blenders exactly feeds the acid refineries

[dense violet]

ah right, I'd avoid that and feed it back into some of hte instant scrap machines then.
then it's 5/6ths of the water you need for the process

I just dislike closed loops but they seem doable?

[wispy osprey]

Recycling canisters is a closed loop, I'm good at that

[dense violet]

that's different

[wispy osprey]

I know, I just want my aluminum knowledge ahead of time because it seems way too complex right now

[dense violet]

it really isn't. It's just this #1287987061361610793 message

[craggy perch]

Hello

[wispy osprey]

A pipe can't hold 720 solution, how does that actually work

[green fiber]

Its a network

Not a single pipe segment

[wispy osprey]

[green fiber]

Networks can hold more because you add and remove liquid at multiple points

[wispy osprey]

So 360, 600, and 540 are also networks

[green fiber]

You could have a network that "technically" moves 36000/min by just adding and removing liquid at multiple points. It would be a huge network

[green fiber]

For coal gens, the 3:8 is also a network for example, yes

[frosty mirage]

So im kinda new to the game, right now I have my 1st factory that is producing everything but is a noodle mess and I have my 2nd factory producing 2 specific items and powered by my 1st coal power plant. Should I start dismantling my noodle factory and start creating dedicated factories? Im 40 hours into the game and I've just unlocked steal production

[dense violet]

up to you - pretty much your whole time going through the tiers are going to be like this. Your first new systems will always be bad 🙂

I'd just let it keep running and learn. Treat it like a tutorial

[wispy osprey]

Should I aim for sloppy+electrode? Petroleum is a little annoying

[green fiber]

If you want

[wispy osprey]

Just a tiny bit annoying

[wispy osprey]

And then go for pure, that's so much better than dragging silica over there

Like, I genuinely want to skip that outright because that's dumb, smelters take up much less space

[frosty mirage]

I kept evolving it but it just got inefficient, that's why I started doing dedicated factories. I could leave it for producing iron rods, plates, screws, wire, cable and concrete and start dedicated factories for other stuff. 2 smart plates per minute is not ideal considering my objectives

[green fiber]

Just needs more smelters so it's the same space.
The silica constructors do take up a lot of space too though

[wispy osprey]

I really need to review what else I should use silica on

[dense violet]

you could smooth all those parts together for new parts and just let them fill containers? that's a fine way to make things even if it's not 'efficient'. You're new. Chill 🙂

[wispy osprey]

At this point I can just keep my very first silica plant running for glass building and that's it

At least in p3

Alternate: silicon circuit board and silicon high-speed connector seem like decent ones

And then of course later with nuclear power

I dunno, I'm not that smart

[atomic cradle]

hello, might be a dumb question, but is it possible to move the space elevator after placing it and still have all the progress?

[dense violet]

yup

same with the hub and mam. You can even make more hubs

[atomic cradle]

oh okay, thank you

[frosty mirage]

Fair enough. I'll focus on making my 1st steel factory then

[opaque wren]

How do you make more hubs?

It says it's limited to one.

You can relocate it, yes, but how do you build more?

[fading whale]

You cannot make more hubs (maybe with mods).
MAMs, workshops, workbenches. Those you can spam all over the map.

[dense violet]

sorry, more mams

[opaque wren]

Keep in mind that the components that are used for space elevator are usually not used for other purposes. So it's generally fine to just make something that is temporary just to feed the space elevator. Then remove it. You might need them for future elevator tiers but for your general base production and construction you can ignore those.

[opaque wren]

That I know but I cannot complete the main research in those. Happened a few times I had to come back to "main base" just to upload the resources needed for next tier.

[fading whale]

Yup. Frigging annoying 😄

[dense violet]

no you can research from any mam

[opaque wren]

I actually deleted the hub once just to place it in my new location (oil world).

And then I realised I don't have 20 iron to make it.

Because who carries raw iron in inventory ...

[fading whale]

But what you can do, is if you know you are going "far away" for a big build, you just relocate the hub to there. Then you have less communiting.

[frosty mirage]

Yeah, I was thinking more about items that are used for other stuff like modular frames and other stuff that keep getting more and more complicated

I have a coal node with a rock on it, any way I can remove the rock to put a miner on?

[dense violet]

bombs

[fading whale]

Anything explosive. So nobelisks or explosive rebar gun.

[opaque wren]

Well that's the "game" basically. For early tiers a few buildings will do the trick. For late tiers, several floors of factory will be needed just to handle 1 requirement.

[fading whale]

Unless it's a piece of ore. Then you just mine et by hand for a few seconds.

[frosty mirage]

I do have nobelisks but the rock is quite close to my coal power plant, i guess the nobelisk should show the range?

[fading whale]

Explosives NEVER affect your own buildings

[frosty mirage]

Dont think it is, it's a big thing and has a different color

[frosty mirage]

Oh thats good news

[fading whale]

Like, you can set of a nuke inside your hub. You die, but everything else isn't damaged.

[split flame]

heavy modular frames pmo

[unborn oar]

quick question wasnt there a way to build a foundation of new material without customizing?

[green fiber]

Yeah you just change the material in the build menu directly

theres a small drop-down tab next to the category name in the build menu

Or you can hold E and then switch material out in the radial menu

[fading whale]

As McG said.
When you have your build menu open. You have "1. Foundations". On the right on that same line you have "FICSIT Foundation" which is a dropdown where you can select other materials (that you have unlocked in Awesome Shop).

[unborn oar]

OHHHHHHHHHHH

much appreciate it guys

[fading whale]

This can also go on your hotbar. So you can easily have a 2m concrete foundation and a 4m asphalt one.

[barren spire]

I figured I'd come and share my joy here since I'd been apparently doing this game on hard mode without it but, someone mentioned on Reddit about making sure to research SAM as early as possible to get the tech stuff and my goodness I am thankful to that person cuz this DD has made life so much easier!

[fading whale]

The more you know 🙂

[dusky hedge]

good sink value aswell

[fading whale]

You need 97 mercer spheres (I think) to max out that part of MAM. But just to have the basics going, 20-25 will get you far. So time to go exploring if you haven't already 🙂

[zenith spire]

I had to duplicate all those Mercer spheres. I am employed. I ain’t got all that time

[barren spire]

I'm not good at organization. At all. I have ADHD and a touch of the tism as well as some other comorbid issues in my brain that make such things difficult for me. The elaborate designs and factories y'all make blows me away and maybe one day I can do that, but for now, though I'm not stuck, I'm busy mapping the...well the map so I can know where some things are, grab spheres a sloops along the way, and by the time I'm done, I'll have a train track that encircles the entire map so I'll have that already established.

I'm just mentally preparing myself for the next step which is getting nuclear energy up and running and phase 4 completed. And also, where to put it because I take it it's going to require a fair amount of land, resources and organization to get it running smoothly.

But I love this game for the factory sim that it is organization be damned

I may be willing to start over though. Guess it depends on when I go to start building the nukes whether I'll need to or not.

[zenith spire]

I can help you if you would like. I have ADHD n tism but for me it’s exact opposite, I will spend all the time necessary in organization & elaborate design like crazy. I’m also a nuclear engineer however I’m not too sure if my profession will be very applicable at all on this game. It could be if they use MSRs & had similarities

[fading whale]

@barren spire You are welcome to DM me if you want a bit of "noise free" tips.

[unkempt blade]

only applicable so far as you're probably able to do basic math

[zenith spire]

Fair, it is a video game 😂

[barren spire]

If your engineering degree has anything to do with design, I may ask you to not. (It's a joke for those of us who know how to work on vehicles about how engineers never think about how a design will actually work out such as putting the oil drain on a cars engine right next to the sun frame causing it to spray everywhere lol)

I will send you a picture of what I've got going lol

[unkempt blade]

You'll get better just playing the game. Leave yourself a little more space than you think you'll need. It's easier to fill a space with something decorative than it is to cram more stuff than will fit into a small space

Blueprints are also nice for organization/layout stuff when you get used to them. You'll know exactly how much space chunks of machinery need so building larger factories will have more obvious dimensions

[barren spire]

Found this out with my oil factory. Thankfully the starting area I left enough wiggle room for what I needed at phase 3 lol

@zenith spire sent a dm

[fading whale]

@barren spire Maybe you should look into some of the planning tools for the game?
If you know how many of any structure you need for a production line, you know how much space you need.
Then you start by putting down a foundation to fit that (and belts). And start building. And if you're worried about later phases, you can always just add another floor and build up 🙂
Not a sure-fire way to go. But it's an option to help organizing.

[zenith spire]

No my engineer degree is not for design. I am very restricted on what I say about my profession however I’m currently working on nuclear fusion. As side jobs of course working on increasing efficiency, power production, & other logistics.

I completely understand what you mean about engineering! & trust me, we hate it just as much as you do. At times situations have requirements that we need to meet or we don’t have enough of one thing or just reason after another. We would love to do everything as easy to work on, logically sensible to the mechanic, while being best performing, etc.but that’s a much larger, harder, feat than most think because theres a lot of things that will conflict & have errors so it isn’t realistically feasible

[zenith spire]

I will see in a minute. I’m driving so that’s why it’s also taking me so long to type

[barren spire]

No worries and I know what you mean also lol

[west plaza]

3 quartz nodes and they're underground, very fun

[fading whale]

There is much cool stuff in the big caves 🙂

[zenith spire]

As you guys may know nuclear fusion is going to be a leading breakthrough in the U.S in the coming years that will have the potential to revolutionize the power grid of the u.s entirely. It will be nearly an unlimited source of power from sea water w/ ZERO waste footprint, have higher efficiency than a molten salt reactor, & output more power. The US could literally build self sustaining STATES on the ocean if they properly take advantage of it but that would be decades into the future most likely

Legally, not financial advice but invest in companies stocks who’re leading the research in nuclear fusion & will be putting out fusion reactors & using them. Gonna see some HUGE green spikes when they hit

[scenic mirage]

nuclear is the future, well it would be if there wasnt so much money going into oil and anti-nuclear propaganda 😭

[barren spire]

That is if big oil don't come in and nuke the whole project. No pun intended

[wispy osprey]

Holy butts what's up with alt: fused quickwire recipe????

That's so much from so little

[zenith spire]

FUNNY YOU ALL MENTION THAT

[fading whale]

They wouldn't. Nuking is against their principles. They'd more likely just pour tar on everything.

[barren spire]

In the whole of human history we have had 3 nuclear accidents, all of which resulted in casualties, but not complete fallout and disaster. I'd say that's a pretty good record. Better than car crash averages and plane crash averages hell even better than lottery averages. There's nothing wrong with nuclear energy. Just ignorant people spewing ignorant bullshit about topics they know little to nothing about other than what the news bottle feeds them.

[zenith spire]

You guys should look up the lead researcher in nuclear fusion, he’s been recently shot dead by who knows who & he was actually close to a breakthrough in fusion technologly.

[fading whale]

And if you make the ingots with alt recipes too (just add water) it's a crazy yield 🙂

[jaunty jewel]

yes but what if there is meltdown and we all die :(

[scenic mirage]

realistically speaking, theyd just create a massive oil spill in the ocean and then take the focus off them and say smth like "nuclear is not safe at all, imagine all the nuclear waste there would be. it would just keep piling up and piling up and we can never get rid of it"

[wispy osprey]

That's what I've got, 240 ingot/min and potentially 1200 copper per minute but I genuinely don't need that much

[wispy osprey]

You're more likely to get struck by lightning than observe a modern nuke meltdown

[zenith spire]

He was aiming to start putting out fusion reactors in 2026 until he was shot dead, pushing that back to who knows when now

[fading whale]

don't need that much..... now.
You will 😉

[jaunty jewel]

twas satire my friend

[wispy osprey]

Nuclear is the future

[barren spire]

Then it was a catastrophic human made error. Nuclear energy is predictable in the right environments. It would take some serious screwing up to get it that bad.

[scenic mirage]

theres smth like 50 deaths total from nuclear, vs thousands or more from oil

[barren spire]

Oh. Satire is lost on me I'm afraid lol

[zenith spire]

That will literally never happen again. If it does it’s entirely human ignorance & lack of competence but even then there’s so many different measures put in place to prevent such from happening

[jaunty jewel]

usually is on me too i just assume people understand my texting patterns and that doesnt work loool

[wispy osprey]

What do i need that much copper ingot on

[jaunty jewel]

something nuclear!

[barren spire]

Well...the Chernobyl accident has an "official" record and what is actual. And it's not even close to each other.

[scenic mirage]

its still incredibly safe due to all the safety measures they have.

I did see there's something called copper dust

I'm not there yet

[jaunty jewel]

yo guys it was a joke calm down

[scenic mirage]

and how long ago was chernobyl? theres been so many safety measures added since then

[zenith spire]

Actually you’re more likely to go to mars & become the first human to live on mars than to ever see a modern nuclear plant meltdown

[jaunty jewel]

• and required to beat the game

[wispy osprey]

Thorium is so much safer too

[barren spire]

Something like 40 years ago.

[fading whale]

'86

[barren spire]

And the only reason the accident happened was due to the ussr cutting safety corners, which was made public worldwide and no one did again (we hope)

[wispy osprey]

Three mile island and Fukashima were both shut down but still functional at shut down

Mile high 😄
Three Mile Island maybe? 🙂

[scenic mirage]

modern day nuclear is so stupidly safe, everything is carefully monitored and theres HARD limits on how much you can be exposed to

[wispy osprey]

It's 8 in the morning, I slept weird and I'm also simultaneously figuring out fictional logistics

[barren spire]

Shit you're exposed to more radiation walking around in the sunlight than you would be spending all day at a nuclear site

[fading whale]

Fair enough 😉

[wispy osprey]

But yeah currently I just need uhhhh

Oh, my input was correct

Funny how that works

32 assemblers can perfectly use 1200 copper and 240 caterium ingots

5.3333 makes 480 per second

So this is beyond overkill

[fading whale]

For most electronics you can use QW. So might not be a bad idea to build big like this 🙂

[wispy osprey]

Yeah a lot of stuff uses it

I can separate outputs but it'll be janky because the division is weird

Every 6 machines is an output is an easier way to think about it, but the input feeds 32

[cedar helm]

hypothetically should i have all my iron smelters dumb into one storage then from the storage i use spiltters to delivery to constructers or inefficent?

[green fiber]

why storage

stored ingots are pointless

[scenic mirage]

just make mini factories wherever you need it. theres no reason to build one massive factory and figure out how to transport the amount you need. much easier to just make what you need, where you need it

[green fiber]

also depending on your fastest belt, that would be a very small factory

[wispy osprey]

Meanwhile me with bulk ingot transport:

Funny number go up

[zealous urchin]

dont transport raw iron no
transport iron ingots after pure recipe

[wispy osprey]

I wonder if anyone else does their satisfactory math homework on a physical note pad besides me

[versed cosmos]

there is a calculator in the game already

[wispy osprey]

#math-and-meta message

I'm not like the elitists that can do all of that in their heads, I need it actually written down somewhere

[placid stirrup]

gold/min

[wispy osprey]

Caterium, I've seen others call it gold as well

Ada herself says it shares properties, it might as well be called gold

[zealous urchin]

you would be surprised

[wispy osprey]

When you're producing in bulk with many different machines it's understandable

[odd ibex]

how can I use hypertube branches?

they dont work for me

[leaden turret]

don't think that's been true for years

oh lol

ok thanks i got slightly worried

[west plaza]

Why do I hear screaming? I don't remember this game being that haunting

[leaden turret]

don't game and drive

Do we have any evidence that Ikea PS 2014 inspired Ficsonium design ?

[craggy leaf]

early on, whats the design for a 2 to 3 belt conversion?

[tall lantern]

exactly the same as any other stage of the game?

• if you can fit both onto one belt, then just merge the two then split into 3
• if not, then split each into 3 then merge each pair

[tiny mountain]

how do you keep a server always online so the host doesnt need to be there to have it open

[tall lantern]

obligatory "the real solution is to clock your machines to give those three belts in the first place"

[tall lantern]

set up a dedicated server (PC only)

[tiny mountain]

can you send a tutorial?

[tall lantern]

!wikisearch dedicated server

[raven axle]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/index.php?search=dedicated+server

[wispy osprey]

As long as the math works out, average is only an issue in very niche cases. Like valves

[leaden turret]

see also #dedicated-servers for community support

[wispy osprey]

And no one uses valves anyway

[leaden turret]

-# insert steam deck joke here

[dire needle]

hi, where should one start building coal powerplants? like whats the ideal location

[tall lantern]

near water and vaguely near coal

[true mulch]

There are many locations with both in proximity

[tall lantern]

many locations match that, so you want one vaguely near you

[true mulch]

It can be far away from your base because you just need to run a power line back

And those are quick and cheap to build

[wispy osprey]

4 normal nodes in jungle crater is a good place to start

[true mulch]

Starting location wasn't specified

[tall lantern]

not if you're in the dune desert 😛

[sly gazelle]

Is there any chance that they will fix the railway lights in the next patch? It is buggy as hell

[tall lantern]

it basically is just

• find water
• find coal
• send the coal to the water
• build it

[wispy osprey]

Fair, I only care about full map access anyway

[wispy osprey]

Signaling is not broken, you need less signals than you think

Pointing them in the correct direction is janky, that i will agree with

[sly gazelle]

signal is totaly broken xd

[rugged jasper]

Is Steamed Copper Sheet recipe good ?
I just got it from a hard drive

[wispy osprey]

I have a factory producing 1330 per minute

Yes

[tall lantern]

the only signalling bug I see commonly mentioned is that you might need to move signals slightly away from the junctions

[dire needle]

atm my base of operation is left of the map, but i just wanted to know if theres any coal spot that should be reserved for anything more important

[rugged jasper]

nice 😄 I will use it too
thank you

[wispy osprey]

That's the big one

I like copper sheets a decent bit

[ember escarp]

Would anyone be willing to sit down with me to hold my hand through the process of setting up the Max Graphics Guide
By Erl Cheeson on my computer? I have a 120 Hz 4k monitor and a 4070 super GPU. I have struggled for several weeks trying to get this to work and I continue to make mistakes setting it up.

[sly gazelle]

currently i'm facing 2 issues, 1. i'm making a cross section and i had to make all the lights in the right time with the railroad or if i just put the railroad first the lights were bugged and had to start over

[wispy osprey]

Nvidia app typically does okay with game quality recommendations

Nvidia* sorry

[ember escarp]

I was told that in order to get shiny metallic reflective surfaces, you have to follow that guide?

[wispy osprey]

Genuinely don't know anything about quality min-maxing I just want the game to look good itself as a whole while remaining stable

[frosty mirage]

Why do my coal gens blow up their fuse? I have the 3 water 8 coal gen design, it ran full auto but the ones connected to my factory blew their fuse. Power provided to factory should be below what they provide, so not sure why they blow?

I connected a new gen to the power and it seems to be working now, but I don't understand why it needs more power to work

[tall lantern]

you can check your power grid to see what it's actually using

[spare cradle]

A coal gen set up has a min power needed for X time before it starts constant and self-sufficent.

[tall lantern]

and what's being produced

[frosty mirage]

No power grid yet

[spare cradle]

the water extractors and any pumps + the miners is that min power

[tall lantern]

it's connected to something

[wispy osprey]

I wish SF would let us place infinitely long belts without splitting them up

[frosty mirage]

Its set up already, it was working today and only now it blew

[spare cradle]

Is the components connected together?

[tall lantern]

then either you're using more machines than the coal gens support, or they're not running at 100%

and looking at your power production vs consumption would tell you which

[spare cradle]

Bootstrap a bioburner and fill it enough to run for... around 4 minutes

[frosty mirage]

I'll check now, it means i might have blew the math somewhere

[tall lantern]

or yeah maybe you connected two gens to each other rather than your actual power pole network

[wispy osprey]

Always aim for a flat power production.

[spare cradle]

Should be enough time to chug it up to speed

[wispy osprey]

If it dips you built it wrong

[covert quarry]

is there like a formula to calculate how u can maximize production?

[spare cradle]

When a coal gen is starting, it wont be if it is a manifold design, which I think it is

[spare cradle]

there is a calculator, but the other maths is for yourself to do

[wispy osprey]

Worry about material min-maxing in endgame only

[feral jay]

I'm doing that as a challenge this playthrough, no machine can ever idle

[wispy osprey]

It's not much of a challenge it's just math

[tall lantern]

a freshly built machine is idle, only handcrafting for you then

[wispy osprey]

Perfect power production isn't too bad most of the game

[feral jay]

proving that no machine ever idles, on the other hand, is not easy

But yeah it's a lot of math and ust sinking excess really

[wispy osprey]

100% machine runtime across thousands of machines is basically impossible

[spare cradle]

Im rn vibing on 16 coal gens till I can get my motor factory up and going so I can quickly get the refinery monster I need

[feral jay]

That's what they tell me, but I'm doing it anyway

Trains/drones/sinks/accelerators excluded and on a seperate grid

[wispy osprey]

The slightest delay on a train dropping off items can build up

Why it stops sending from freight i won't understand but I get why it needs to stop to deliver to freight

[feral jay]

They did explain that sometime during a dev stream. I still think that should be fixed though, it's hella annoying not being able to interact with a platform where a train's docked

[green fiber]

trains stop inputting / outputting due to the animation

else you could interfere with their inventory while they dock and mess up the animation

[feral jay]

ahh, as in, what would the animation be doing if you emptied the platform while it was still "loading"

Kinda makes sense

[green fiber]

it would load a container but there would be nothing in the car

so now you have an empty loaded car but only loaded cars should have a container

[feral jay]

Still, just let me at least view its contents, even if I can't move them around

Dismantle hover works, but it's not the same

[feral jay]

Well no part of canada is climactically "warm" lol

[frosty mirage]

Does it matter if i have mk1 pipes on my 3 water 8 coal gens design? Should i underclock 1 water to match 300m pipe capacity?

[leaden turret]

you could underclock all 3 to 100 😛

but yes, it does matter. can't fit more than 300 in

[feral jay]

As long as you're not feeding all 8 generators from a single side, you'll be fine. E.g. if you feed them from a manifold at both ends, then no individual section of the pipe exceeds 300, so it works

[tall lantern]

if you reduce the water input, then you'd also have to clock down the coal gens to work with that reduced input. Not ideal

[frosty mirage]

I posted my design on #screenshots , it seems to be working even with mk1 pipes, just not sure if its gonna be a problem later or not

[unkempt blade]

that should be fine, it's spread out enough it should work within the 300 limit for each chunk of it

[rocky moon]

Hi! I just started playing satisfactory yesterday, i have 5 hours in the game, and i spaene at the grass fields coordinates 50,000 203.000

[zenith sage]

What exactly is stopping mob spawns around factories..? Like is 1 powered building enough or it needs more?

[rocky moon]

I was wanting to migrate to the rocky desert, but didnt know if i need to do asnything specific as i have keep evrything on as well as passive creatures .

the only things i have automated is concrete, wire, copper ingots, and iorn ingots.

I was wanting to migrate to the rocky desert due to the videos ive been watching portrayng it as a better starter area, and better resources and flat area. also its got better water access for coal power. (sorry for so much word vomit)

so far i have unlocked all of tiers 0,1, and 2, and have built the space elevator, the mam, and the workshop

sorry again fro the word vomit, im a very talkative person. i try to provide much info to better paint a picture

[zenith sage]

I personally think you shouldn't worry about resources that early into the game and when you eventually need more recourses late game, you'll have a way easier time just building another factory there

[feral jay]

I wouldn't expand too far out before hypertubes at least

(and automating the materials needed to build them)

[rocky moon]

so far ive been crafting everything such as screws, iron plates and rods, reinforced plates etc with craft bench by hand. its a real pain

[feral jay]

My friend, this is an automation game. Automate all the things.

[rocky moon]

kk

[zenith sage]

Grass fields has all the resources you need for early game

[rocky moon]

i will say though, i opened all of the ficstmas calender slots, and i got a nuclear nobelisk and some medical inhalers..

and 20 power cells

[frosty mirage]

Grass fields should be fine, im also a new player and I managed to to my 1st coal power plant in grass area

[oak nymph]

Not oil

[zealous urchin]

but oil is not early?

[zenith sage]

I'd say oil is the beginning of mid game

[feral jay]

Oil isn't anywhere near any start locations I think. I did this save on a rocky desert start, and lo and behold, I'm using the same oil initially that I did with my grasslands starts

[zenith sage]

And either way, it's still pretty close

[rocky moon]

im probably going to build my coal power plant somewhere around 82,000 153,000

[zenith sage]

That's a great coal starter

[rocky moon]

i feel like i need to delete all of my plants and rebuild them on baseplates as they currenty arent and are strewn about

[leaden turret]

-# it is if you're describing it with an accent

-# oily

[feral jay]

*foundations, and yes, they change everything

[rocky moon]

srry

[oak nymph]

Thanks for your help im done with my 200/min battery factory just have some trouble with pipe but it's an easy fix

[feral jay]

Yeah battery production just really lends itself to numbers like that

[zenith sage]

At least you're only 5h in then hah

[oak nymph]

It's really easy lol 500 sulfur 609bauxite and 1000 water your location was perfect

[feral jay]

200/min seems like a lot, but anything less than 50 isn't even worth the hassle

[feral jay]

oh yea lake forest, that spot's great for batteries

[zenith sage]

I wish I could eliminate copper from aluminum factory if it's just for the building mats...

[rocky moon]

i dont nderstand what ur trying to say here srry.

i get the 5hr

but the others i dont

[oak nymph]

I can finally start automating production director

[feral jay]

It's not a huge loss if you restart, some maps have thousands of hours put in

[zenith sage]

If you're 5h in (and like you said you're still making most of the things in the bench), there's not much to disassemble at this point, so it'd be easy to rebuild

[rocky moon]

ahh kk

what should i do with that nuclear nobelisk?

[feral jay]

Blow something up!

[zenith sage]

Blow it up for fun

[rocky moon]

also i think i made a mistake i had the option between getting 6 inventory slots, or a alternate recipe to convert 1 iorn ingot into 16 screws, and i got the slots instead..

[zenith sage]

Did we get any nukes in the calendar tho..? I feel like I only got 20 or so pulse nobelisks

[feral jay]

You passed on cast screws? SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!

[rocky moon]

i think ima change mobs from passove to retaliate tho

[zenith sage]

You can still get it with more hard drives

[cunning glade]

What's the ratio of diamonds too time crystals

[feral jay]

Don't worry though, there's enough hard drives to eventually unlock every alt recipe in the game, plus a few extra

[white dawn]

In the very early game (like 5hr in), and especially for a first-time player, rebuilding your first factories is extraordinarily common, so definitely go for it if you want to. But beware the trap of Constant Rebuilding! In general you never have to tear anything down -- if you're unhappy with your current factories for whatever reason, you can always just leave them exactly as they are and just start building elsewhere. It's a huge map, with a ton of resources out there!

Though, as I say, for that early on, on a first playthrough, some rebuilding of your first factories is extremely common, so go for it if you want to. :)

[white dawn]

Your codex will tell you, so long as you have it unlocked. (And if you don't have it unlocked, just wait until you do. :D)

o for the codex, or n for a search bar

[rocky moon]

how would the miners be placeed on foundations th, wouldnt keep them from working? also ive heard in many videos that concrete foundations are a lot cheaper to make than metal ones

[leaden turret]

magic science

[oak nymph]

I have like 18 Mercer sphere and 2 stack upgrade plus the 1 upload speed upgrade plus the upload from inventory should I upgrade upload speed?

[white dawn]

You don't really place miners on foundations, but you can build foundations "around" miners if you really want to.

There's mods which let you nudge miners around, too, if you really want to

[feral jay]

It doesn't really make that much difference, concrete and iron plates are both simple to automate, you'll have way more than you need, just gotta build enough factory

[rocky moon]

ahh ok that makes lots of sense

[white dawn]

IMO placing miners on foundations is silly though. They're not meant to be part of a structured "building." You're attaching stuff to a physical property of the map. It's okay to just be on the ground. :D

[zenith sage]

90% of the reasons to rebuild is for aesthetic purposes early on imo

[rocky moon]

oh yeah, theres this weird purple mushroom cave near my iron farm like 10 second walk from it, what does it do?

[white dawn]

By all means build a container-type building around the miner if you like, but miners-on-foundations always look very Wrong™ to me

[cunning glade]

I'm not home

🧍

[white dawn]

Something to look forward to, then!

Or look it up on the wiki

[zenith sage]

Pick it up and see

[zenith sage]

I put all of mine like that...

[west plaza]

Okay so that was the shortest save yet I think. I forgot I had my game running for a few hours

[cunning glade]

Wiki says 12 a min?

[west plaza]

Time to make a new one!

[white dawn]

Yeah, it's a not-uncommon thing to do. That's one of the few aesthetic choices that my own brain just cannot get around, though. Like it's so weird; it's a device which is pulling material directly out of a physical node on the ground. Foundations around it just don't make sense to me. But I acknowledge this is entirely personal preference, so I shouldn't keep rambling about it. :D

[feral jay]

This of course, in a world with very selective gravity...

[white dawn]

The recipes on the wiki are sourced directly from the game data, so whatever they tell you should be correct. :)

[rocky moon]

so you said automate everything, does that mean like iron plates, iron rods, smart plating, rotors, reinforced plating, screws, biofuel, evrythig everything? it already took me 2hrs to automate just the iron copper and concrete.

and they havr their own biofuel burners, i havent even touched my hub ones yet

[zenith sage]

I wouldn't mind putting them on the node itself... but I can't stomach it being "off the grid"/misaligned 😅

[white dawn]

This is a game about factory automation, after all. :)

[rocky moon]

makes sense

[cunning glade]

Worth a good 960 a time crystal

[white dawn]

Most folks end up having a "unified" power grid. Have all your bio burners connected up via poles and have a combined power network. Once you get to fully-automatable power, you'll be free of biomass collection

[cunning glade]

Might overproduce for coupons

[zenith sage]

Automation will be wayyy easier after you get the coal plants running

[rocky moon]

i have a question tho, do resource nodes ever run out?

[white dawn]

Yeah, I also think that World Grid is a trap. :D (I definitely build to "local" grids, but I've never seen the need to make everything on the exact same grid. I find it boring. :)

[white dawn]

Nope, resources are infinite

[rocky moon]

ahh my stations are each lke 1 min walk from each other in any direction, so they just have their own station localized single burner

[modern mauve]

i feel like for Satisfactory 2.0 or 1.5 we're going to get a whole new planet (or two) to play on

[rocky moon]

like over 300m

[modern mauve]

like that lava planet, i feel like one day we can build a factory there

[zenith sage]

World grid is the best in my eyes, I rebuilt my whole base 20h in, cause I had no idea you could snap foundations to it...

[rocky moon]

so power poles would be a pain

[white dawn]

You'll eventually be pulling power all over the map. :) You'll get used to it!

[west plaza]

They can go quite far

[feral jay]

That doesn't scale once you start hitting the gigawatt range

[cunning glade]

World grid is goated tho

[rocky moon]

i played no mans sky so the part whetre you cant hook up multiple cables to a single gernator got me

[white dawn]

Yeah, I know it's popular, but I personally much prefer building "with" the local geography. If I ever do want to connect up disparate factories with foundations, there's a lot of easy techniques to do that

[white dawn]

Nah, disagree. I honestly don't see the point. Literally the only benefit is that it's marginally easier to connect up disparate factories with foundations

But there's so many other ways to do so (if that's even something you want to do)

I'd much rather just build with the local geography and make things look neat in situ

[zenith sage]

True... the only times I'm not using the world grid is when I'm building train station for ores tbh

[white dawn]

Strict N/S/E/W alignments make me go 🤢 (unless that happens to work out nicely to the local terrain, of course, but that's chance. :)

[rocky moon]

oh yeah, i got 45 awesome cupons from the chrismtas calendar, shold i buy the factory cart, or the cybertruck wth it?

THERE ARE TRAINS

*dies

[whole drum]

Ladders are super helpful, as hard wall mounts for power connections, belts, pipes, etc

[white dawn]

I also basically never even want to connect up disparate factories with foundations, so I don't even need the other fancier techniques for doing so. The only "physical" connections I tend to have between factories is trains, and for those I tend to do "disconnected pillars", so I don't need continuous foundations

[feral jay]

Yes, ladders and power nipples are the first things I buy

[west plaza]

lol you should spend that on all the good utilities

[cunning glade]

U can still do this on world grid? Also nicer for train stations feels nicer idk I don't see a reason too not use it

[white dawn]

But even if you do want to connect up different grids, as I say, there's a ton of easy methods (one for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uX_2i8T3Dbw )

Once you're used to it it's hardly any more work than just putting the foundations down

[feral jay]

I can see the argument for the benefit of the world grid being marginal, but what exactly are you arguing the drawback is, @white dawn?

[white dawn]

No, you can't, because World Grid forces a strict north/south/east/west alignment

[whole drum]

When I first started playing I saw a video about world grid and thought, "That's cool." Haven't used it once since, lol.

[white dawn]

Oh, purely aesthetic, I'll admit that.

[frosty mirage]

How to blow it up? Dont you need detonator?

[feral jay]

yea ok fair enough

[white dawn]

I often don't even like sticking on the exact same grid within a factory

[feral jay]

You do

[whole drum]

It's also extra unnecessary work for a benefit I rarely need.

[white dawn]

Having non-90° bends and such can make buildings look so much cooler, IMO

[rocky moon]

oh yeah also i got something weird called "stun rebar" whats that for?

[zenith sage]

Question time.. is there a nice location for just a mini Alclad Aluminum Sheet factory without running belts for kilometers (or trains through mountain peaks)? I'm planning to build a separate aluminum factory for all the later products anyway

[white dawn]

(Though at the cost of more required effort for decoration)

[zenith sage]

Gun

[white dawn]

With all the various aluminum alts unlocked, you've got a ton of choices for aluminum processing

[whole drum]

Red Forest has decent locations for it, depending on the recipes you use.

[white dawn]

I tend to just build pretty close to the bauxite nodes, and pick my recipe chain based on what happens to be nearby

[rocky moon]

and whats the giant manta ray in the sky that keeps doing laps over my base

[zenith sage]

All needs copper tho, right? And I honestly couldn't find one that has both bauxite and copper close by...

[white dawn]

On my last playthrough I'd used like four different aluminum production chains across the playthrough

[whole drum]

It's a taxi

[rocky moon]

.....

okie

[zenith sage]

You can pet it

[white dawn]

Not for the ingots, at least. I'll often end up shipping ingots to where they're needed (which indeed might need copper nearby)

[rocky moon]

i want to recruit some lizard doggos, but i dont wsnt to buid pens

pls excuse my typos

[zenith sage]

I turned my first doggo into a bridge troll guardian, but he gives you stuff instead the other way around

[rocky moon]

oh yeah. i found a toilet easter egg

lol

[whole drum]

Don't eat food out of the toilet

[cunning glade]

But I think u can I still do even with world grid🤷

[whole drum]

Despite opinions to the contrary, recycled food is not actually that nutritious.

[rocky moon]

theres this weird biome near my base that goes slighlty down hill into a flat rocky area with puddles and theres this pinkish fog...

[feral jay]

They seriously missed a good joke by not having the toilet produce biomatter somehow

[rocky moon]

and it has canyons. lots of them

are there any good quartz sources in the grass fields?

oof theres all of 2 acording to my interactive map

[zenith sage]

There's some in the forest to the east

[feral jay]

Not that I recall, the best one near you is probably ||a ways off from where you probably built your first power plant, to the north||

Or, will build your first coal plant I mean

[whole drum]

The crystal caverns near oil islands has some, but not sure if anything is closer for Grass starts.

But it is the direction you naturally expand to anyway since it's the best oil for Grass.

[rocky moon]

also why are surface to air missles an ore...

[whole drum]

To keep aliens out of your planet

[rocky moon]

im the alien.

wehats it really tho, i know its not that but i cant think of any other acronyms

[whole drum]

Strange Alien Material

[rocky moon]

hm ok

[whole drum]

It's McGuffin powder

[rocky moon]

i have no clue what that is, and i have a feeling i want it to stay that way

[whole drum]

"McGuffin" is a literary term

[zenith sage]

Hmm.. maybe I'll just build the aluminum sheet factory in my computer factory if I can eliminate quartz... I do have an annoyingly empty square there

[frosty mirage]

Just look it up on google

[zenith sage]

It has some VERY neat unlocks in MAM, most of the time if you find something nice just pick it up

(Just most cause 1 thing will kill you the first time...)

[zealous urchin]

sam

[frosty mirage]

Where can you find sam tho?

Didnt yet find any in 45 hours

[feral jay]

It tends to be kinda hidden

[zealous urchin]

sam sulek 💪

[frosty mirage]

So it needs dedicated exploring

[brisk bison]

Usually in remote locations swarmed with mobs

[zenith sage]

Either deep down or on top of stuff

[rocky moon]

why is the hardest biome by far the largest ? dune desert.

[whole drum]

It's not actually hard

[zenith sage]

Define hardest...

[brisk bison]

this description fits uranium insanely well lol

[rocky moon]

hmm the spawn menu gaslighted me

[whole drum]

It does that

[feral jay]

It's tougher to start in because wood and leaves to run your first bioburners with is sparse, or far away

[zenith sage]

True, just 4 times less common

[frosty mirage]

So its not predefined locations i assume

[zenith sage]

Oh yeah, I didn't think about that

[brisk bison]

I’ll trust your numbers

[zenith sage]

Everything is predefined on the map, there's no randomization

(afaik)

[feral jay]

Everything on the map is predetermined, with the exception of the mineable resource deposits (not nodes, deposits, the ones that disappear when you mine them)

[brisk bison]

Yes

[rocky moon]

ive been watching totalxclipse beingineer ultimate walkthrough

only halfway trhough first oe in collection

[frosty mirage]

So then there should be specific coordinates for sam?

[feral jay]

ooh he did one? That might be good to send to my nephew, he's struggling a bit

[brisk bison]

Their locations are predetermined as well, just not the ore type itself

[zenith sage]

Yep (there's interactive map for stuff like that)

[feral jay]

heh, today I learned

[rocky moon]

its like 20 video series each over an hour long on average

still making them added to the collecton since 1 year ago up till now

[whole drum]

Most non-basic resources are going to be far away from the starting area, but nothing is actually difficult about it. The oases provide plenty of biomatter, as do the plentiful wildlife. You have tons of iron/copper/limestone and plentiful coal. There's a caterium node you can use portable miners to semi-automate until you get nobs. SAM isn't too far away (but it is hidden). Sulfur is in an inconvenient to reach spot, but conveniently near other coal nodes. There are lots of spheres in the area. Plenty of hard drives too.

[rocky moon]

i just wish the grassy fields wasnt so darn hil filled

[zenith sage]

Time for another hard drive hunt I guess (which is ironic cause I need to buy a hard drive irl)

[whole drum]

Oh, yeah, and quartz is super easy/plentiful.

[rocky moon]

im playing the game on an acer nitro lol

have no clue how long itll hold up but its already fuzzy graphics

compared to the tutorials ive been watching

[mortal ginkgo]

bro trying to toast

[whole drum]

He's gonna cook eggs on his tower

[rocky moon]

no im not

trying to roast

[zenith sage]

Eh my laptop has way worse specs and still holds up (it's just the hdd that is absolutely dying while screaming)

[feral jay]

You want the jetpack

That one's worth rushing imo

[zenith sage]

or ladders

[whole drum]

Ramp foundations and Ladders are your friend

[rocky moon]

no its just like lumoy, not tall hills but wavy, i need flat like rocky desert or dune desert

[feral jay]

Make it flat with foundations

[rocky moon]

im really wanting to get blade runners

[mortal ginkgo]

You also want to tap impure limestone nodes asap. Very important for phase 3 and beyond yes.

[zenith sage]

You can build up and ignore the hills

[rocky moon]

but i played for 5 hours yesterday and dan only do that much time every weekend

yeah but then i gotta build walls around the foundatons then evrything underneath will be traped

[whole drum]

Yes, I too enjoy both concrete per minute.

[mortal ginkgo]

yes, very important.

[rocky moon]

my copper wire and conrete fils up so fast

like a stack of 500 every 10 minutes or smthn

[zenith sage]

Build a hole with a ladder, add basement floors, etc. It does wonders for belt logistics hah

[brisk bison]

proceeds to spend 10 hrs on acquiring the most efficient turbo fuel recipe

[placid dew]

is 11 700 aluminium scraps per minute alot?

[rocky moon]

its gonna tae a lot of parts to automate reinforced metsl plates, rotos, and smart plating.. ugh

[brisk bison]

depends on what you’re building

[placid dew]

135 fused modular frame per minute

aluminium is my biggest weakness

[brisk bison]

just don’t transport aluminum in this form, better smelt it into ingots, don’t make my mistakes

[zenith sage]

Start small from the end, I feel like I had like 5 smart plating per minute for the first 150h of my game...

[whole drum]

Reinforced Plates are actually pretty easy. 120 iron/m = 10 rips /m with default recipe.

[placid dew]

yee

and later i need to transport then across whole map

[brisk bison]

uhhhhh I don’t have my notebook at hand

[rocky moon]

rips?

[feral jay]

Better to smelt just about everything into ingots before moving it around

[brisk bison]

sorry 😔

[placid dew]

7800 aluminium ingot

and some fuel

[frosty mirage]

I have 45 hours and Im currently doing 12 smart plates per minute, but only because I had containers with 500 extra reinforced and rotors

[brisk bison]

sounds pretty solid

[rocky moon]

im not the type to maximse production like evenly fed belts, or maximise production, ss long as i get out what i want im good.

but i have a feeling thats abput to change bigtime here soon

[whole drum]

RIPs = Reinforced Plates
https://discordapp.com/channels/370472939054956546/553550313533997057/1448896409859526769
Here's a simple layout I made to help new players not feel so intimidated by them.

[placid dew]

9 750 silica per minute sounds worse

[brisk bison]

there must be a direct converting recipe somewhere in alternatives iirc

[whole drum]

Once you're comfortable with RIPs, nothing in Phase 1 feels difficult.

[brisk bison]

or there was one before the release

[zenith sage]

Eliminating screws is always an option (my favorite)

[oak nymph]

Why this much?

[indigo kiln]

I just got to steel how the fuck to I plan this shit

[whole drum]

To sink 130/m of it

[placid dew]

just to sink it

[feral jay]

With spreadsheets and online tools

[oak nymph]

Really 😭

[placid dew]

yea

[whole ermine]

look up satisfactory modeler on steam

[placid dew]

maybe use them on some pressure conversion cube

[feral jay]

https://satisfactory-calculator.com and https://satisfactorytools.com are both very good for different things

[whole drum]

There's not much to plan. You get iron and coal together, follow the recipes according to how much you have or need, then build it out.

[frosty mirage]

Thats what I said 6 hours ago, still didn't start it because I kept sidequesting...

[wispy osprey]

Steel basically doubles your recipe count

[whole drum]

Then stop sidequesting, lol

[keen vault]

it only added 3 for me so far (im not that far) so im not ready for whats coming

[kind spade]

Hello im very new to satisfacotry and i cant figure out why my pipe wont fill with water

[keen vault]

replace it

thats what i did

[frosty mirage]

Im a bit adhd ish, so thats difficult. I actually enjoy sidequesting, but i rly need pipes and beams to progress

[leaden turret]

• fluid only goes up so far without a pump
• water extractors (and other machines) can become accidentally disconnected if one is careless when dismantling

[kind spade]

Yeah i have pumps but weirdly my one pipe is full the next isnt

[wispy osprey]

Also pay attention to your flow rate and input rate

If the end of your pipe manifold is dry, loop the end to get a stable manifold

[whole drum]

• Make sure the extractor has power, same with any pumps
• Use pumps to ensure you have enough headlift. Extractors provide 10m from the pipe connection, pumps provide 20. Headlift is the max height for your fluid system. Pumps don't inherently make fluids flow faster or anything.
• Make sure you have enough extractors for your pipe, but not exceeding them. Extractors provide 120/m by default and Mk1 pipes can move 300/m.

[frosty mirage]

In my case I had a pipe junction that i placed on the pipe and that kinda ruined my build.. i set pipe junction first then pipes and it worked

[kind spade]

Hmm that shouldnt be the problem as far as I know

[indigo kiln]

Huh gotta figure out my my coal plant is making power damn

[frosty mirage]

I just built my 1st coal power plant yesterday

[wispy osprey]

I have an 8 assembler blueprint with an industrial storage plus overflow prevention

[indigo kiln]

Same math says it should be making 600mw but it's making 450mw lol

[whole drum]

Buffers suck. Don't use them, except with trains.

[wispy osprey]

Too late couldn't care less

They work with my method

[kind spade]

i just refilled the pipe now it doenst hang there wish me luck on my endless pipeline. Why is water so damn far away xD

[whole drum]

It's easier to belt solids to your liquid location than the other way around.

[unkempt blade]

Why did you build so far away from the water?

[kind spade]

First time playing bought the game yesterday havent watched tutorials xD

[whole drum]

That's fine. Just offering tips.

[wispy osprey]

Imagine saying storage is bad when you can double what belt enters

[frosty mirage]

8 gens should make 600, 450 means 2 of ur gens aint workin properly

[indigo kiln]

Yeah I just don't know why lol

[whole drum]

Liquid storage sucks. Solid storage is good.

[frosty mirage]

Rebuild closer to water, trust

[wispy osprey]

Okay good idk why you replied that buffers were bad to me a minute ago

I know fluid buffers are ass

[frosty mirage]

What are you powering? Did u check each gen? Do they say all is fine?

[indigo kiln]

Hold up let me grab the laptop

[polar socket]

Hi all, do someone know when 1.2 update will come ? dont want start run and lose it bcs of update

[whole drum]

Because "Buffer" is the name of liquid storage. "Storage Container" is the name of solid storage. I thought you were talking about the former.

[mortal ginkgo]

in 2 minutes!

[unkempt blade]

1. They do non-intuitive things to throughput and headlift
2. There are very few scenarios where you need to use them for a functional reason

[feral jay]

Q1/Q2 this year, they release when it's ready

[polar socket]

thanks

[mortal ginkgo]

they look cool though.

[indigo kiln]

Do you actually have to restart when the update goes through?

[mortal ginkgo]

i got them where i wouldnt need them

[whole drum]

So build them without using them 😉

[mortal ginkgo]

coz they cool

[polar socket]

No, but happend, save was broken after update, idk if still thing

[unkempt blade]

agreed, that's why you clip pipes through them instead of actually connecting them 😄

[polar socket]

i playing from version 0.6 so..

[mortal ginkgo]

I do. But then I put them anyway. To fight against the system, the society, the non impure limestone nodes.

[wispy osprey]

Industrial fluid buffer
Industrial storage container

I did say storage

[unkempt blade]

Fighting the system is a good non-functional reason to use them. I support you and your rebellious ways

[wispy osprey]

Regular storage container is 32 slots and immediately loses its use when you go industrial

[mortal ginkgo]

problem is, i like seeing chungus storage visual almost full. like that sloshing visuals.

I am beyond repair, so is this game kek

[whole drum]

Industrial is goated. Double inputs and outputs is incredible.

[mortal ginkgo]

there are some things you realy dont need mk2 storage, like supermotors etc

funny enough you probably dont need a storage for some items, only max level dimentional depots

[wispy osprey]

I like having items at the ready to rapidly craft at belt speed

[unkempt blade]

pretty much the only things I have storage for beyond what the depot provides are concrete and iron plates

[west plaza]

I'm still salty about losing my entire Satisfactory Tools calculator saves

[whole drum]

It isn't that you care about the max storage capacity so much. It's that you want to be able to keep several stacks in reserve to feed your DDs while still having the option to feed through it.

[mortal ginkgo]

yeah my decorations eat them alive lols

[indigo kiln]

I figured it out my load balancer has two things broken

[wispy osprey]

At some point you'll switch to a note pad

[mortal ginkgo]

using load balancer in this day and economy I kek.

[indigo kiln]

use notepad ++

[wispy osprey]

I use a physical note book to write math down

[west plaza]

Yeah, might do, better than accidentally losing it because you don't realise that clearing your browser history does that

[indigo kiln]

What's wrong with load balancers

[indigo kiln]

I'd lose that shit in approximately 30 seconds

[wispy osprey]

Satisfactory tools also doesn't tell you what to do with your belts

[mortal ginkgo]

I dont see the need for it. Maybe I am missing something.

[unkempt blade]

if you copy the shareable links somewhere (or bookmark them or whatever) you can always get them back

[autumn skiff]

hello, i want to have a section of my power that is powered by the main grid but doesnt power the main grid

if the power from the main grid is out, the small section's batteries could power the section but not the main grid

how do I achieve this?

[west plaza]

Eh, it's easy to figure it out imo

[indigo kiln]

I'm trying to avoid eventual startup problems once I run out of power

[unkempt blade]

it's all just stored to browser storage so if you clear your browser you'll lose them again

[whole drum]

I use mini-balancers in some builds, like the RIP layout I linked earlier. I use manifolds for general feeding, but the balancer on making sure rods/screws are produced and distributed properly.

[wispy osprey]

Sometimes what you're wanting to produce exceeds your belt limit somewhere in the process

[mortal ginkgo]

dont worry bro I am just acting like an impure limestone node. Someone has to for world peace and order.

[indigo kiln]

Lmao

[wispy osprey]

There are more flaws than just that with the tools usage

[indigo kiln]

Well just so you know my entire limestone economy is based off of two inpure nodes lmao

[unkempt blade]

Such as?

[fickle locust]

You can't do exactly this but you can do something close enough
Make a side grid with a billion batteries, totally disconnected
If the main grid goes down, you can connect the charger batteries and they'll cover the draw of the main grid for however long they can

[indigo kiln]

I do something a little bit different for that I never deleted my biomass system

[mortal ginkgo]

i use smart splitter at long manifolds with overflow going main line. so I know that whats little left can merge with priority merger which I feed in with low prio. so first feed is always used and second and ur mom and fifth and so on

[wispy osprey]

It also doesn't provide information on how pipes should be laid out, just a m³ that you need to magically do

[whole drum]

Hey now, she doesn't count for 3rd AND 4th. That's unkind.

[unkempt blade]

getting a step by step build guide feels like a pretty big ask and not really a flaw... should it play the game for you too?

[wispy osprey]

What the fuck did I ever do to you

No of course not

[mortal ginkgo]

she is a bit.. how to say politely... C H U N G U S

[wispy osprey]

I just do my own math

[mortal ginkgo]

God bless her soul tho, all moms are cool.

[zenith sage]

I truly feel like I'm gonna develop fear of cats because of this game...

[whole drum]

I'm biologically obligated to be grateful to her.

[unkempt blade]

It's not personal. I'm just wondering why you think having something do math for you is more flawed that using notepad

[indigo kiln]

What the hell fix my load balancer and now I'm making 375 mw😭

[whole drum]

Much wow, very fixed

[mortal ginkgo]

over expose yourself to spiders to beat your fear.

at first I was like zomgbigboiseeeep, then got exposed to large versions so much in my sphere hunts that my brain thought even small ones were large.

now they are the ones stuck with me lols

[thick cedar]

Дарова парни, есть кто рускоговорящий?

[unkempt blade]

the cats are way scarier than the default spiders

[mortal ginkgo]

No Sasha, disagree with you despite the valid points my darling.

[zenith sage]

At least they're easier to notice (and less legs)

[wispy osprey]

Because what the site suggests has thrown me off before

[whole drum]

That sounds like you made a mistake with using the tool

[wispy osprey]

No, I know what outputs I want

Stop saying I'm the issue

[thick cedar]

i just asked

[indigo kiln]

But what if it is you

[whole drum]

Obviously it can't be

[wispy osprey]

It's the equivalent of saying I don't know what a number is

[unkempt blade]

If you think you found a bug the creator is pretty receptive to that sort of thing. Otherwise the tool does have a little learning curve

[indigo kiln]

Quite possible we don't know your IQ

[mortal ginkgo]

I didnt understand the question. Just shot a blind shot. This is only English server so just teased you abit. ❤️

[wispy osprey]

IQ is not an accurate measurement of intellect

[limber sand]

"most accurate"

[indigo kiln]

Nor is arguing with people on discord

This game makes me smell numbers for real

Figured out my other problem I forgot to upgrade the input belt of coal I have a factory designed for 120 Coal per minute and only giving it 60 lmao

[whole drum]

Classic error

[lapis shadow]

Has Ficsmas ended? Online says it ends today but idk if it ends at like midnight at your local time or something

[plain hemlock]

I think it has

[heavy pine]

Guess it's time to start decommissioning the FICSMAS facility.

[indigo kiln]

I never did anything past claiming all the free shit in the Advent calendar lmao

[plain hemlock]

On the bright side, no more presents falling on the train tracks.

[indigo kiln]

They were pretty laggy the presents for me

[plain hemlock]

Oh that's why the game was so laggy as of late

[indigo kiln]

The presents alone used 4 gigs of RAM

[heavy pine]

Gonna have so much leftover crap to shove into sinks.

[indigo kiln]

Yeah

[whole drum]

Honestly the best part

[indigo kiln]

I will happily take your tickets I'm tired of looking at orange cubes because it's the only thing I can afford

[oak nymph]

Is it just me are the sound of the gift falling is scary

[heavy pine]

That's what I get for building big, I guess.

[leaden turret]

-# power cut is scarier

[unkempt blade]

I'm going to mod ficsmas on all year again I think

[indigo kiln]

Bro I was deep in thought when the first one hit near me and I almost shit myself

[oak nymph]

Real Even tho it some useless shit

[plain hemlock]

I have been jumpscared by that so many times in the early game

[indigo kiln]

But why?

It was just a competition right?

[plain hemlock]

To stay festive™

[indigo kiln]

I got that covered I just moved to a Winter wonderland

Ghost pinged and screenshots forgot to read the rules of that channel, your rails are too close together if you're going for realistic other than that really good

Huh

Never seen that lmao

What's the point of spending thousands of dollars and not talking about it though

[plain hemlock]

You have to build a model railroad prop version of your model railroad which would have its own model railroad version of its model railroad

:)

[indigo kiln]

That's actually technically possible

The city of Chicago has a museum that does that

They only go two layers deep though

[plain hemlock]

We need an atomically small model railroad

non-satisfactory trains is #off-topic-general 😛

My last session was a 9-hour long session fueled by pure ADHD and monsters

[near siren]

so i just had a thing where i went exploring a cave and left my explorer outside and when i came back it vanished but the symbol for it is still there any suggestions?

[ashen basin]

okay so that lets me duplicate what ever im looking at, but they have it out just running around like I would with a Xeno-Zapper

[plain hemlock]

Can I see an example?

I did that yesterday without monsters.. took me 9 hours to build my coal plant, but the surprise was i didnt smoke a damn ciggarette for almost 4 hours

[indigo kiln]

😂

There you have it people satisfactory is healthy

[frosty mirage]

As long as a game makes you forget about cigs instead of making you go for one

Thats a game design winner

[heavy pine]

Well, crap. I can't set up an automatic sorter for FICSMAS leftovers because I can't set the ornaments in smart or programmable splitters.

[leaden turret]

set everything else 😛

only by accident

random question to delete, ooookay

[heavy pine]

That doesn't really work, since then I'd end up with all the various ornaments going the same direction.

[leaden turret]

mod the event back on and see if they appear as options?

[heavy pine]

What's odd is I can see other FICSMAS items, like snow and wonder stars

and I had some splitters set up for something else that I can actually copy/paste the settings from.

[leaden turret]

is it listed in the smart splitter but not the programmable splitter?

[heavy pine]

Neither

[leaden turret]

check qa site to see if it's been reported?

If you play for long enough, does it tell you you’ve been playing for 6, then 8 hours? And so on

I didn’t know you can turn that off. I’ll have to look at it

I have played this game way too much.. I just got a play time warning at 10 hours 💀
it is almost 9PM and I have not even made dinner yet..
so I better get started, and take a short break from the game.
