[faint night]

Got blenders making 600 Fuel/min. Got Fuel Gens burning 600 Fuel/min. I let everything fill up before turning generators on. I stay and keep an eye for 10 minutes, check everything's running.
I go fix another problem for a couple hours, notice my power is dropping ~600 MW every so often. I go back to Fuel Gens and notice the last two Fuel Gens in every single line are around 97-99% efficiency and have 1-3m^3 Fuel in them

[queen slate]

[faint night]

I know there's sloshing bs in the game

Have u made it a closed circuit?

I've heard that helps prevent it

I wouldn't personally split it

[faint night]

Thank you for actually helping and not just being passive aggressive saying I'm dumb

[white dawn]

PIpes at 600/min can work just fine. They can certainly be funky/persnickety/whatever, but "it won't work" isn't correct. :)

[faint night]

Has community always been like this?

[queen slate]

Closed circuits help

[white dawn]

My own 600/min advice paste:

Here's the advice I've got saved which will nearly always get you to working 600/min. IMO it's good advice even below that point, though the system is usually more forgiving before then. Note of course that people have gotten working systems while ignoring large swaths of this, and occasionally due to build styles or other vagaries you might still have problems even with all this. But IME it's nearly always "the pipes Just Work":

1. Keep the system as simple and short as possible.
2. Loop your manifolds (so: the input goes into both sides of the machines you're feeding)
3. Feed fluid from above, so gravity does part of the work for you
   4a. Avoid valves entirely (they've been improved for 1.0, so this one might not be as important, but you still don't actually need valves)
   4b. Avoid fluid buffers entirely (except as buffers for train lines, where they are rather necessary)
4. Prefill your pipes! Full pipes are happy pipes. Wait until the system's thoroughly saturated before turning machines on.
5. Place junctions before pipes. If you do snap junctions onto pipes, dismantle and rebuild the pipes afterwards.

See #screenshots message for an example of 2+3 specifically. And of course, as mentioned, the fluid simulation tends to be more forgiving as the rate goes down, so keeping your pipe systems below 600/min is another option too.

[queen slate]

Like what

[faint night]

I'm disappointed

[swift turret]

you mean fun and engaged?

[clear mesa]

Are you still caught up on that one message?...

[faint night]

Yeah sorry I'm just annoyed by this constant issue in the game, my math is pretty accurate, I've checked tens of times

Was just looking for some quick short answers

[clear mesa]

It's fine man. Don't take it too seriously sometimes tone can be misinterpreted over text :p

[white dawn]

Math for 600/min mk2 pipes will only get you so far; the particulars of your pipe builds are if anything more important (I suppose that's hyperbolic since if you get the math wrong all the build style in the world won't save it. :D)

[faint night]

Instead i got "skill issue" "fluid go splish"

Like yeah no shit

[white dawn]

Anyway, check out the list I pasted above; those methods will nearly always result in 600/min working just fine

[leaden turret]

[white dawn]

Good luck! Honestly the loop tends to be the most important part; it means that even when there is sloshing it's unlikely to affect the main feeder pipe, since the fluid's got more than one path to the machines

[queen slate]

[white dawn]

[opaque wren]

Double check if all pipes are MK2. Especially if you upgraded them, it can be that a small section remained MK1 - and it messes up everything (happened to me once).

[faint night]

I assume splitting 600 -> 300 + 300 works?

[opaque wren]

Yes, that should be fine.

[white dawn]

CSS themselves hadn't really gotten familiar with the particulars of user 600/min complaints until the leadup to 1.0; most of them happened to just never really run into problems

[faint night]

Would you recommend using mk1 pipes specifically for when fluids are at 300 or below? I usually just use mk2 for everything fluid

[white dawn]

Should do, yeah. I nearly always keep it as one 600/min but splitting evenly like that does seem to do a good job, judging from reports in here

[queen slate]

M2 for everything if you can afford it imho

[faint night]

Never used mk1 ever since I unlocked mk2 lol

I'm 99.9999% certain there's not a single mk1 pipe causing problems haha

[clear mesa]

[sullen gull]

[white dawn]

Honestly 99.9% of everything I say in here is just collated advice from research/experience that other people figured out long before I did. I'm like a human LLM, in a way. :D My one innovation was just slapping the common pipe advice into a text file so I can paste it occasionally. :D

[rocky moon]

Hey I need to ask some people who have already completed project assembly phase 1, a question

[swift turret]

I gotta figure out how to automate them with rotors

the math aint pretty

[clear mesa]

Yeah?

[rocky moon]

So I have a iron setup with 2 mk1 miners mining 2 impure nodes funneling into a merger that fuels into a smelter and into a storage bin, with mk1 conveyer belts, and I'm trying to figure out how long it will take me to produce the needed iron ingots to make 50 smart plating.

Like all components.

[swift turret]

shouldnt take long

[clear mesa]

Uhhh well a while...you should consider upping production from 60/min iron

[swift turret]

split your reinforced iron plates in half and just let it run or make it in a seperate assembler feeding it 50 reinforced iron plates and 50 rotors

[clear mesa]

Yeah the latter is what I usually do for phase 1 to finish it quick and rush to coal

[swift turret]

I personally like splitting it so I can explore while that all runs

[rocky moon]

Like what we talking

Do I need to delete that setup and mine the 4 normal nodes?

[clear mesa]

Haha...I'd double it at minimum

[swift turret]

yeah 120 would be safest

[clear mesa]

You want to automate rotors and reinforced plates

[swift turret]

rotors take like 100 screws which already costs a lot

[rocky moon]

Because I can do that, but I don't know if I need to use how many smelter, constructors, and either mk1 or mk2 belts

[clear mesa]

With 120 I was able to automate rotors, reinforced and take the extra to make a small amount of modular frame too

[pastel surge]

You should probably have 1 smelter per miner

[rocky moon]

Do I want to get the stitched iron plate recipe to eliminate need for screws?

[swift turret]

only if you have iron wire

[clear mesa]

You could but it honestly all works either way

[pastel surge]

And i used 1 assembler to build my smart plates and it was 2 a minute

[clear mesa]

Think of alternate recipes as a tool to help you not a definite better over another

[rocky moon]

Do mk2 belts speed up how fast it smelts by feeding it more, or will it clog it because it might have a faster transport rate than the smelter smelter rate?

[pastel surge]

Just means they move faster

You dont need mk2 belts yet imo

[void cliff]

Honestly think the hover pack should be like Tier 3. How we ever gonna build well without it!?

[swift turret]

youd need more smelters to feed it more

[rocky moon]

I've only gotten iron ingots, copper ingots, wire, and concrete automated

[faint night]

True

[swift turret]

milestones are just the tutorial. After you finish everything then you can design your world

[rocky moon]

And I'm ready for phase 1 of assembly

[pastel surge]

Get iron rods, screws and plates automated too

Thats what you need to build smart plates

[swift turret]

once you get the jetpack thats what you really need

[rocky moon]

So what I'm hearing is I'm gonna need to delete my dog water iron base for matierals, then move it to the 4 node section, with 1 smelter per node, all produce iron ingots, then split it off to make plates, screws, rods?

[pastel surge]

Well you can keep what you have

[clear mesa]

1. Split your iron ingots and automate rods and plates.

2. Split your wire and automate cable.

3. Up your iron production

4. do step 1 with 3 but this time go a step further and make rotors and reinforced plates

[pastel surge]

Yep

[clear mesa]

The game is all about automation...you're not gonna realise what you should automate and how much of it until after you have....the safe way to go during your first playthrough is to just automate practically every new thing you unlock

[void cliff]

The feed rates of belts are all shown in the build menu, consumption rates of recipes is easy to find by building the machine

I actually like the grass fields cause I don't want to ruin the better areas until I get up in tiers tbh

[tribal zealot]

and easy access to three pure iron nodes, one pure copper node, and 3 pure coal nodes

[clear mesa]

But yeah for the quickest start, the forest by far

[pastel surge]

Oh wow

[sick falcon]

they’re all easy, just the last two have so much more resources to work with

[unkempt blade]

If you're 80hr in you're way past the worst of it. The only reason grassy is "bad" is because the node purity makes it a little less power efficient but it's really only an issue at all pre-coal

[pastel surge]

So whats the boost from impure to pure

[sick falcon]

northern forest has 4 pure coals, 5 pure iron, and a pure copper

[tribal zealot]

impure is 30/min
pure is 120/min with mark 1 miners

The thing is I'll only have 120 m3 heavy oil in the pipes and I am not yet 100% sure how fluids work. Do I spread out the 3 refineries across the main pipeline connecting the 8 previous refineries? Do I create another pipeline connecting the 3 refineries and connect it in a single point with the main pipeline from the 8 refineries? Any suggestions?

[tribal zealot]

and then production doubles as tiers increase on miners, so a pure node with a mark 2 miner is 240/min while impure is only 60/min

[clear mesa]

You don't have the alt recipe?

[sick falcon]

1200 ore a minute from mk3s my beloved ❤️

[clear mesa]

Or maybe you have packaged diluted fuel?

[weak cloud]

i thought it shows ??? for the missing ones?

[rocky moon]

Does this server have like schematics in a channel for my situation?

I'm gonna be working with 4 iron nodes

[clear mesa]

It should yes, not sure what you're looking at though

[sick falcon]

yes but imo that defeats the point of the game

[pastel surge]

Ore into smelter, into constructor for rods, and plates, then rods into rotor and rods into screws. Rods and screws into rotor, then ingot into plates, plates and screws into reinforced plates then those and rotors into smart plating

[clear mesa]

You can go onto the satisfactory tools website for that

[tribal zealot]

i forget the exact math for smart plating automation

[weak cloud]

I can't post screenshots... but I'm in my codex looking a Fuel and Diluted Fuel alt recipe isn't there, nor are any alt recipes "missing".

[frosty mirage]

Anyone? Pls help, i dont understand fluids yet 😭

[sick falcon]

figuring it out yourself is the joy of satisfactory

[sick falcon]

either one works

[clear mesa]

#screenshots maybe

[pastel surge]

Its thing into thing makes a thing

To make more things

[tribal zealot]

true

[clear mesa]

I believe the reason may lie in the fact you don't have the blender unlocked

[tribal zealot]

wait no this line of thinking is what causes computational horrors 😭
also known as conveyor sphaghetti

[quiet bronze]

where can i go for some help with the game ?

[pastel surge]

I just explained the process a few messages ago🥀

[frosty mirage]

Alright ty, coal power plant bulding was a bit messy with the water so i wasnt sure if its the same case with the damn oil

[weak cloud]

Ah you're right. Diluted Fuel requires Tier 7.

[tribal zealot]

uhh i can try?
what do you need help with

[pastel surge]

@tribal zealot

[reef basin]

#1038092680493801533

[shy cypress]

I need a fluid expert, im trying my first build that uses more than one input pipe and im losing my mind

[quiet bronze]

ill make a thread in #1038092680493801533

[quiet bronze]

ty !!

[reef basin]

same thing - post images in #1038092680493801533

also "I need an expert on X" is kinda weird way to ask question

[pastel surge]

You could also just expirement in a creative save

[tribal zealot]

wait actually i gotta go im so sorry 😭

[clear mesa]

I got my bachelor's in satisfactory fluids a while ago 😏

Working on my master's currently

[quiet bronze]

its all good dw !!

[leaden matrix]

Laziness, I did the same thing for a while😭

[merry tendon]

its all wrong, worry

[quiet bronze]

ts pmo smh

[indigo kiln]

Mmmmmm adaptive control units are complicated

[rocky moon]

So... should I unlock concrete foundations to make the process a lot easier, and also do I need to make it to where all items leading up to smart plating split off 2 ways, one into a storage bin to store that component, and another to direct it to be made into the smart plating, or do I want to just put it through both ends of a storage container?

And can I do 1 smelter or constructed ect per item, or do I actually need to do the ungodly 17+ of each building that tools says i need?

[sick falcon]

over or under clock

those tools assume everything is at 100%

[rocky moon]

I don't have those unlocked yet

[sick falcon]

if you haven’t unlocked overlocking then you shouldn’t be using satisfactory calculator at all tbh

nothing ur doing is complex enough to warrant it

[rocky moon]

All four of my impure iron nodes at the new location will supply me with i believe 120 iron ore per minute, and I need to automate iron plates, reinforced iron plates, iron rods, rotors, and smart plating

Say how big of a foundation do you think I'll need?

[sick falcon]

10x10 cant go wrong

[swift turret]

thats optional based on what you wanna make and how much you wanna make

you could make a 4x4 for each constructor, smelter if you wanted going vertical to the world height

[rocky moon]

At least 5 per minute on smart plating, but there's a thing I'm trying to figure out before I go to build this, how do I set aside components like iron plates & rods, and reinforced iron plates, and screws and rotors for use by themselves, so I don't have to make dedicated farms for them at the moment, and can just leech off of the smart plating farm?

Ima build horizontal

[swift turret]

Design is up to you

If you dont know start small and expand out until you're finished building

[rocky moon]

But do I split off the conveyer to dedicated storage bins, or route them through storage bins?

Ok gotcha

[swift turret]

you're asking subjective questions

[scenic mirage]

just build the extras 🙂

[clear mesa]

Project parts serve no other purpose than to be delivered or sunk

Nothing can be built from them

[swift turret]

Alt recipes

but usually wont use them until the manufacturer

[dense violet]

They are also used in future project parts so useful to store them

[scenic mirage]

yep i made that mistake

[clear mesa]

A simple rerouting of conveyors :p

You can store them though ig for efficient future production

[ornate frigate]

quick question how do you place like alot of walls at once

[rocky moon]

Sloop?

I know what it does but not how to use it🫠

[swift turret]

who said sloop

[fluid crow]

put them in machines after researching at the mam

[rocky moon]

?

[swift turret]

They're not something you have to worry about for a while

[rocky moon]

The thingy in build mode that let's you place many at ince

I think it's up to 10 at a time placement mode

Just click and drag

[fluid crow]

zoop

[clear mesa]

Ye zoop and sloop are two different things

[frosty mirage]

Its not laziness, but the damn oil is a sidequest right now, i need to finish my big iron factory first (127 buildings) and i needed the mk4 so i had to unlock oil for the rubber to get the mk4 milestone 😭😭😭

[clear mesa]

Press r in build mode

[rocky moon]

How many tickets is concrete foundations in the awesome shop?

[ornate frigate]

thank you!

[clear mesa]

[leaden matrix]

Real shit tho😭

[vocal sparrow]

@void gorge @obsidian zodiac can i capture one of you?

[robust terrace]

what does the +1 hand equipment slot do?

[clear mesa]

Grants you the ability to hold another item

[robust terrace]

for me it maxed out at 3, is that a glitch, or just a visual thing?

[clear mesa]

You start out with 2 so unless you previously already had 3 I'd say you should restart your game

Might also be the case you got the +6 inventory space without realising instead

Haven't heard of the bug where it's permanently glitched though

So it's one or the other as far as I know

[robust terrace]

ok, thanks

[drowsy kelp]

watching stingers start wars with other fauna is fun

because there's either no stingers or no other hostile fauna afterwards

less stuff for me to run over

[prime magnet]

is electrode scrap worth it

[sharp jasper]

I'm not sure what to do next. I've been on phase 4 for little while now and just can't seem to get an idea of what factory I wanna build. I need to make a fused modular frame factory but can't find a decent spot with all the required resources. It's definitely getting a bit overwhelming.

[fluid crow]

pick a location and start bringing everything

[oak nymph]

I've finished my 10/min super computer woohoo

[zealous urchin]

doing plubber on basic recipes is so funny

[zenith sage]

I finally escaped the power crisis I caused by upgrading my turbo fuel plant to rocket fuel...

[rain hollow]

I finally finished automating heavy modular frames

Also I think I reached the edge

[nocturne cairn]

I would say make drones first if you haven't already

Automating stuff is a lot easier when you can just drone complex parts from anywhere

[versed cosmos]

yes but it depends on what you have nearby

if oil is near, great, use electrode scrap

if it's easier to transport coal over then use that

i'm building aluminium in the swamp and i'm doing sloppy + electrode + pure for my ingots

[hushed totem]

What if I just built Downwards? Speaking of that are you still able to go underneath the map with the trains?

[tribal zealot]

Alright im back :D
did you get the help you needed?

[quiet bronze]

yesyes i did but thank you ^^

[tribal zealot]

Thats great!

[sharp jasper]

@nocturne cairn I keep forgetting that drones exist

[hushed totem]

Oh good god I did too

I'm building a damn train to the desert for like 4 items

[rocky moon]

Whats the best place in grass fields biome to setup a early game Copper Plant? I'm looking at the satisfactory calculator interactive map, and I'm stuck between 1 pure node very close to a Limestone Plant I'm planning, or 3 normal nodes a bit of a stretch away, and must be a crevice as it's -121 m

This is what I got so far: Coal Power plant -75,000/150,000
Limestone Plant -154,000/194,000
Iron plant -60,000/226,500
Copper Plant

[mystic crag]

Why is all the Bauxite is the center of the map

[fluid crow]

rhetorical question ^

[zealous urchin]

so u can make all of it in one place (but realy to force u to make trains for different heights)

[frosty mirage]

I dont think there is a "best" place. If you really want a copper factory, just find a few nodes close to each other and go for it. I am running a copper factory on 1 normal node for wire, cables and copper sheet 😂 it's not much but I got a shitload of containers full of these items

[robust terrace]

Turns out I was just getting the wrong one, thanks

[frosty mirage]

My girlfriend protested me for unnecessary violence, I thought a creature will drop some resources so I proceeded to kill it but got nothing

How do I unlock gas filter ? 🤷‍♀️
I need it for hazmat suit in tier 7

They always drop remains. You may have just not seen them.

[indigo kiln]

I just saw it, thanks ! 🙌

[indigo kiln]

Creepy ass spider thing drops creepy ass spider remains

[whole drum]

Oh, yeah. Only hostile enemies drop stuff. Didn't realize you were an animal abuser. 😏

[frosty mirage]

I got protested, so I must be one I guess

It was a beetle, apparently

FICSIT says to exploit, so I did, just doing my job

[whole drum]

Tell your mom to stop calling me. It was a one night exploit.

[oak nymph]

I'm scared of thermal propulsion rocket

[hollow brook]

Let's go. Just finished my turbofuel power plant. What did it cost? My ears.

There were 38 fuel generators going at once

[oak nymph]

I just looked up the graph, even tho I can have a input of fused modular frame it's still scary

[frosty mirage]

She'll need her payment tho, she said its fine if you transfer the money into my account

[whole drum]

That's the exploit -- she isn't getting any. 😎

[eager tusk]

Would 70 000mw be enough to complete phase 5?

[merry tendon]

guys

theres a single screw in my pc that is rusted

what do i do

[whole drum]

Build 3500/m so you have replacements

[ornate saffron]

it can be depending on scale. I would want more though

[tribal zealot]

Well to start your gonna have to go find an iron node in your area, i usually just look for the nearest iron mine and acquire access.
next you're gonna get whatever vaguely chisel chipped object and hit it really hard a bunch, take that ore and put it in the oven at medium heat (2500f) and shape into bars when they are malleable, once they are done take them to your workbench and hit them until they turn into srews!

[leaden matrix]

Oh my god piping had no issues for once😭
I move exactly 600 nitrogen to my packaging

[barren tulip]

more would be nice but if you're not too over the top with your factories then it'll probably be fine

[grim carbon]

can i build water extractors on foundations?

[hollow brook]

yes, if the foundations are under the water

[grim carbon]

oh

otherwise not then

[hollow brook]

Yea

[grim carbon]

ok

drat

[hollow brook]

But yea, just completed my turbofuel power plant. I'm quite satisfied with the train delivering compacted coal to the plant.

[split condor]

So could I ask for someone to double check my math, I am building uranium fuel rods via alt recipe. 24 manufacturers give me 14.4 rods per min. This should power 72 nuclear plants.

[hollow brook]

How many uranium fuel rods burn in nuclear plants per minute?

[oak nymph]

.2

[hollow brook]

Yes, your math is right.

[split condor]

All power plants clocked at 100%

[split condor]

Thank you

[hollow brook]

I'm not at tier 8 yet, but I can work with numbers.

[oak nymph]

This going to be massive 72 generator

Good luck to manage the waste

[split condor]

Roughly 177,000

[stuck dagger]

You can do the plutonium step to squeeze a bit more power out and produce less waste

[split condor]

I have not unlock tier 9 but in the plan

[oak nymph]

But you need to manage plutonium waste don't you?

[stuck dagger]

Less quantity than uranium waste and same stack size

[hollow brook]

I had 37.5 fuel generators for my turbofuel plant that I just finished. 9375 MW of power.

[split condor]

I do plan on the using the particle accelerator for waste management until tier 9

[oak nymph]

Particle accelerator are so loud

[split condor]

I have 2 gas plants already pushing 40k

[hollow brook]

Louder than 38 fuel gens running at the same time?

[stuck dagger]

Or you can make plutonium rods and sink those to entirely cut out the waste

[oak nymph]

Same I'll need a nuclear power plant soon I'm starting to run out

[split condor]

That is current plan

[hollow brook]

Once I started getting packaged turbofuel, I started being extremely cocky with my jetpack. I hovered over a hole, throwing nobelisks at a gas stinger. I killed it, but then ran out of fuel and died to fall damage lol

[unkempt blade]

what about just doing solid biofuel instead?

[unkempt blade]

you need to stay topped off so you can survive with a sliver left!

[split condor]

Umm I honestly just wanted to do nuclear because it is available

[stuck dagger]

imo nuclear waste storage problems are overexaggerated

[unkempt blade]

That's the best reason to do nuclear! You clearly don't need my power advice

[hollow brook]

I was also being cocky with uranium areas, my greed was my downfall in trying to get purple power slug.

My own greed sickens me, and I have yet to repent...

[fluid crow]

you need some ppe for that

[unkempt blade]

unless you have a really really really long running save just sending all the waste off to some corner of the map is effectively removing it

[split condor]

Yep I automation of iodine gas mask filter was a huge help

[feral jay]

I automate 5/min, that's more than it's even possible to use

[split condor]

Drones came in handy for that, I had build a turbo factory in same place so fuel was easy

[unkempt blade]

yeah at absolutely max radiation you'd be using 5/min so you'd have to really work at it to use what you're making

[feral jay]

Gas and iodine filters both, the max rate you can use them is 5/min, so I automate/DD 5/min, and then radiation and gas is no longer an issue

[rugged jasper]

this is good info for me, as I am just about to make this

so just 5 per min of both and that's fine right

[hushed totem]

Mhm, so you Don't ride the drones then (I went flying)

But in a bad way

[zenith sage]

I still find it funny how 7 machines can feed 72 rocket fuel generators...

[split condor]

I used an impure oil node as a base, alt recipe and made fabric Some turbo fuel,

With minor other resources pretty easy to setup an automated factory

[feral jay]

I always end up building my filter plant somewhere near my ammo plant, and my ammo plant near the first place I get plastic up and running

[rugged jasper]

I think I have a normal one that I am not using really close to my oil base

[split condor]

I built a plastic rubber plant with normal node, I used the 2 alt recipe to feed the other, using the overflow rubber and plastic

[feral jay]

I'm building out an 800/min plastic refinery farm rn, it's gonna produce 1200/min pet coke that I have no use for yet

[split condor]

Nice. I use some coke for aluminum product boost

There is a YouTube video that shows using alt rubber recipe that makes plastic as a waste, then alt recipe that make plastic as rubber as waste

If I remember correctly some resin as well.

[feral jay]

Recycled plastic and rubber

[split condor]

Yep

I need to do a rubber and plastic usage vs production calculation. It has only been 7 factories ago….

I am sending to four or five places….

[barren tulip]

i think i have like 7.5/m or 15/m because i didn't underclock anything (single fabric refinery)

[leaden matrix]

Liquid train carts make 0 sense and it annoys me 😭 petition to buff them in 2026

[glacial geyser]

is the achivements bugged? my friend is trying to get all the achivements but they arent unlocking

[split condor]

I have heard that

Console achievements are particularly bad

[glacial geyser]

he is on pc

[split condor]

On both platforms

[whole drum]

The devs have a kind of backward logic about them imo

[wet tangle]

omg i dont know how i just realised this but if you research stuff too fast in the MAM ada gets annoyed with you lmao

[whole drum]

The idea is that packaging is "more work" so you can get more throuput, but the issue is that liquids are actually more work due to jank.

[leaden matrix]

:0
WHAT :0

[feral jay]

Packaged liquids/gases are just janky and exist to push players to use packaging loop systems imo

[leaden matrix]

Yeah, god i hate liquids and piping
Alongside that it doesnt make sense physically

I really hope they get a buff because in concept its really cool😭

[wet tangle]

YEh i was unlocking stuff for an escape room and she hit me with the "it seems im talking to slow for your research" and goes like super fast talk mode lmaoo

[feral jay]

It makes no sense that a gas compresses better into a canister than it would into a rail tanker

[leaden matrix]

ONG!!!!

[leaden matrix]

:0
You're making an escape room???

[wet tangle]

well puzzle rooms

[zenith sage]

I sure hope when I finish prefilling those generators they'll keep running fine...

[leaden matrix]

-# they wont, they never do

[leaden matrix]

Please elaborate :0
That sounds awesome

[wet tangle]

So I've been in the Minecraft escape room for a few weeks and had an idea to make on well in satisfactory. I'm hoping to be a collection of puzzles to craft certain items, insert the correst items. unkock things in the MAM for advantages, as well as some skill testers or exploits(if I can find any)

There isn't actually going to be an escape but at the end you do get a coffee cup so yay.

The way im going to have it set up is a quick two room introduction to get a feel of what the rest is going to be like. a main room with a manufacturer at the end with a recipe you must fill. then 4 sections each one an expanded version of the introduction witch end in you getting 1 of 4 ingredients for the manufacturer.

also due to the mechanics of satisfactory and current mods there are rules that work on the honor system about where you can or cannot place and dismantle machines. these rules are as followed:

1. You can only dismantle foundations/walls in yellow.

2. You can only place foundations on green.

3. You can only place machines on blue.

4. you can only dismantle machines on purple.

5. do not change splitter/merger settings.

[wispy osprey]

If i had the reigns, fluids would work exactly like they do in Factorio

[leaden matrix]

This is the coolest shit ever :0

[wispy osprey]

Either that or officially make it a difficulty setting
Easy (static resources, static flow rate, exact pressure) and normal (what we have now)

[raw tree]

can check #streams-and-videos

[fluid crow]

that is the out pipe

[void cliff]

Pressure ratings are just different, makes plenty of sense.

I don’t think it’s bad for them to have different capacities, but I do think it’s bad for them to be SOOOO far apart. Like…. Any fluid, 2,400 m3. Per fluid freight car. Think if you’re tanking nitrogen gas to a rocket fuel plant with this setup. You will need SO MANY CARS to have a decent train line / frequency.

Bottles stack to 100, and I think you get a ridiculous amount of them in a freight car by comparison. What is it like 24 stacks? 2,400 bottles of nitrogen gas in one load, and they compress to a 4:1 ratio. So 60 bottles/min = 240 nitrogen gas per min.

The difference is wild. Fluid freight cars should hold at least 5 times as much fluid per car.

[feral jay]

Liquids I can get on board with, they doesn't compress well. But gas generally compresses very well, and it makes no logical sense that gas can't be compressed well into a rail tanker in this game. It's just not intuitive that it can be compressed into canisters so well, but not tankers.

[void cliff]

That’s a great point. Totally agree

[fluid crow]

unless you turn it into a liquid you're still transporting relatively little gas

[feral jay]

It's not about stack sizes and a 1600->2400 difference, it's that gas compresses so insanely better into gas canisters than it does into a rail tanker

[whole ermine]

grah, im such a dumbass

[feral jay]

Like 4x, it doesn't make sense

[whole ermine]

i had my factory going all night thinking id get a ton of tickets

but i forget to plug the sink in

[feral jay]

lol whoops

[whole ermine]

so my machines made like 100 and some change heavy modular frames

cry

[barren tulip]

very intriguing

[void cliff]

Aluminum bottles are generally a bit more challenging to make. Would be nice if there were decent alternatives for it (steel obviously should be an option)

[leaden matrix]

The refinery is the wrong way around, the oil is going into the output instead of the input

[raw tree]

thanks for help

[raw tree]

thanks for help

[zenith sage]

Surprisingly... they seem to be doing fine so far 👀 My piping luck continues

[zealous urchin]

this is a design choice

[whole ermine]

do nuclear filters protect you from the gas rocks too

or is just from radiation

[feral jay]

Just radiation

You can use both at the same time tho

But if you run out of gas filters, although you're still safe from radiation, you're not safe from gas

(assuming you still have iodine filters)

[whole ermine]

okey dokey

thanks

[feral jay]

np It's another thing that's not intuitive, the iodine filters seem like they should be an "upgrade", but they're not

[indigo kiln]

Why doesn't fuel get used from the dimensional Depot for jetpacks?

[feral jay]

As a rule, nothing gets used from the DD except for construction supplies

[indigo kiln]

Ah

[feral jay]

Because Coffee Stain hates us all

[leaden matrix]

Gotta pull it out before usage because Coffeestains laughs at us </3

[indigo kiln]

So making my biofuel completely autonomous with no backup storage was a bad idea...

[wary falcon]

why when i place a splitter it auto connects conveyors to random constructors, it pmo cuz it looks ugly, how do i disable this?

[feral jay]

But hey they loved us enough to give us the DD in the first place, so I'm not complaining

[leaden matrix]

Biofuel, one of the 7 deadly sins😭

[indigo kiln]

What

[feral jay]

If you use biofuel past stage 2, we shall taunt you. If you use it past stage 3, we shall taunt you a second time!

[indigo kiln]

I am about an hour into phase 3 lol

[leaden matrix]

How are you still using biofuel????
Like, im just suprised

[warm finch]

stage? you mean milestone/tier? or phase?

[indigo kiln]

I'm not I was just too lazy to remove my biofuel plant

It's a backup generator pretty much

[feral jay]

haha getting the terms mixed up. I meant phases 2 and 3

[indigo kiln]

I have a item mall that if I put my inventory in it automatically filters itself and anything that can be turned into biofuel get sent to my biofuel factory

[leaden matrix]

Ah, now I understand
I have an old coal plant i havent touched since like phase 2, its ineffective and garbage but I refuse to touch it till I make atleast 30kMW

[warm finch]

then you'll have to taunt me a bunch. I don't get off of biofuel until I have mk4 belts unlocked

[indigo kiln]

My coal plant is sitting on top of my biofuel plant lmao

[feral jay]

Awesome. Nothing like a good and proper taunting.

[sonic sierra]

My plan when I get on satisfactory: finish this and that
What I actually end up doing:
Fix this, that, and this until 6 hours have passed and ultimately I'm going to rebuild all of this later

[indigo kiln]

Psychopath

[warm finch]

this is the satisfactory way

[indigo kiln]

Oh no

[feral jay]

Just one more turn bro

[indigo kiln]

Time to spend the next 6 hours figuring out why my factory just shut down

[warm finch]

biofuel is easy to automate and feed en mass. trying to feed 80 coal plants with anything under mk4 belts is a sadist

[leaden matrix]

Satisfactory is legit just

• Automate stuff
• "FUCK I could do it better"
• do it better
• "FUCK I could do it better"
• so on and so forth

[sonic sierra]

I don't understand how decorators have the patience to set up a 44 foundation construction just to place one 37° angled sign just to do that 500 times in a row for their decorations zoo

[sonic sierra]

Real

[indigo kiln]

Ughhhhhhh, Max usage 870 max produce 810

[feral jay]

I'm spending six or so hours, building just the plastic input to my battery plant

[indigo kiln]

I'm going to spend the next 6 hours figuring out how plastic works I just unlocked it

[sonic sierra]

Sf tips: use factory calculator online

But when I use it I need 237.3333 iron/minute like wtf am I supposed to to do with the rest

[feral jay]

Well if you can't figure it out, that is grounds for another taunting 😛

[sonic sierra]

Same

[leaden matrix]

Lowkey plastic is a massive turning point

[leaden matrix]

Store & Sink, till you find a better use

[feral jay]

Plastic really is a turning point, it unlocks so much when you automate it

[warm finch]

my tip: DON'T use online factory calculators early on in the game. it takes away the understanding and planning.

[warm finch]

aluminum for me

[leaden matrix]

Just use a normal calculator:>

[feral jay]

Heh I use Satisfactory Tools for ALL my factory planning

[sonic sierra]

Milestone unlocked:
Me: cool, let me fix everything else and come back to this 10 hours later👍

[indigo kiln]

I started using it as soon as I saw a phase 3 elevator requirements

[warm finch]

use the brain calculator. get a good understanding of how the game mechanics work and planning

[indigo kiln]

So real

[leaden matrix]

Plastic is like a caveman getting fire

Aluminum is a caveman making the wheel

[sonic sierra]

You know I thought it would be cool to turn on the "merge dismantle and death crates up to 500m" setting but they all decided to merge to the one I had AT THE BOTTOM OF THE GIANT SAM RAVINE IN GRASS FEILDS

[indigo kiln]

Hehe

I know that pit

It's a fun pit

[warm finch]

ah yeah the infamous grass plains SAM pit lol

[indigo kiln]

Make sure to exploit it dimensional depots are amazing

[sonic sierra]

And I demolished my entire factory so there is a generational amount of resources in there

[warm finch]

have fun, godspeed. fiscit does not waste

[feral jay]

This is cool, I was worried I forgot how to work with Mk.2 pipes at 600/min, I'm doing pretty well so far

[leaden matrix]

LOOLLL, I have it on and I have a dismantle crate FILLED with like 9000 wires

[indigo kiln]

Mmmmmm, should I make trains fix my power or start plastic

[sonic sierra]

Exploring experience:
I'm gonna collect Mercer spheres for demodepot!

4 hrs later, 5 spheres, 40 death crates, and an inventory of random stuff later
I hate this

[indigo kiln]

Jesus skill issue

I've died once and I have 63 hours

[sonic sierra]

Console

[indigo kiln]

I'm sorry for your loss

[warm finch]

I wait on exploration until I have jetpack with liquid biofuel. can go a LOOOOONG ways when you pulse

[indigo kiln]

....

[sonic sierra]

What takes you two keys takes me to spin my hand in a circle while pressing three buttons in Morse code just rotate in object smh

[indigo kiln]

There's liquid biofuel mmmm

I fucking hate liquids in this game

Took far too long to figure out why my coal plant wasn't working

[warm finch]

have you read the pipe manual?

[indigo kiln]

There's a pipe manual

[leaden matrix]

Ive died like 90x cause I turned keep inventory on so I can get to base faster😭

[warm finch]

my sweet summer child....

[leaden matrix]

REEAAAALLL

[indigo kiln]

Cringe

[indigo kiln]

Daddy please give it to me

[sonic sierra]

The only cheat I have is no power HOLD YOUR THOUGHTS

[indigo kiln]

Get out

[warm finch]

that's worse than playing on console.... uninstall this instant

[indigo kiln]

Bruh

Ada should yap about that instead of fucking puppies and cats

[indigo kiln]

Real

[sonic sierra]

Me managing power is like a blind monkey in a nuclear reactor

[indigo kiln]

Get gud scrub

[leaden matrix]

Im 90 hours in and ive NEVER heard of this 😭

[sonic sierra]

Ada maps about doing what to puppies??

[feral jay]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/images/3/39/Pipeline_Manual.pdf

[indigo kiln]

I decided to make an entire ass item filter and you're over here not even using power

[warm finch]

I'm 1200+ hours into the game and I STILL learn new stuff

[leaden matrix]

THATS THE POINT

WE ARE BLIND MONKEYS

WE HAVE ACCESS TO NUCLEAR POWER

[indigo kiln]

If you listen to her the entire point of the game is saving puppies and kittens

[leaden matrix]

Cringe but valid, it'd be much more relaxing if I did that😭

[real shale]

Do you not want to save the puppies and kittens?

[indigo kiln]

Not the orange kittens but yes

[sonic sierra]

When you redoing your factory and you already demolished everything but you ran out of one annoying thing so you sit there handcrafting forever

[warm finch]

hahah, second milestone unlocked: chainsaw. LFG

[warm finch]

or you know.. check that ONE crate at the bottom of a pit....

[indigo kiln]

If you do it right you don't have to redo your factory You just have to upgrade it

The only time I actually uprooted everything was when I got foundations

[zealous urchin]

hello

[sonic sierra]

The effigies of the consumers speak to highly. Exterminate them.

[warm finch]

yes

[sonic sierra]

Ficsit does not waste. Ficsit surrenders.its materials to the song of the master

[leaden matrix]

Foundations is the second best thing in this game

The first is the DD

The third is alternate recipes

[sonic sierra]

Snapping on console is bs

[indigo kiln]

I feel like your list is a little bit incorrectly ordered

[indigo kiln]

It's a bitch on pc sometimes too

Like bro Don't connect it to that I want 90 degree turns first bitch

[zealous urchin]

its always been the hoverpack tho

[sonic sierra]

Snapping mode off: regular
Snapping mode on:
I'm gonna pit this whether the he'll I think it should go

[indigo kiln]

Anyways I have a location for my oil not to figure out how to fucking get there

[leaden matrix]

Walk
Make hypertube
Make train for resources

Yes this will take 4 hours for everything to work [kinda]

[indigo kiln]

I want to do trains but I want to do it that looks good and I can't make it look good in the first blueprint

It's too small

[sonic sierra]

Throwback to when I tried making a hypertube transport but ran out of copper sheets so I went back. Accidently went in to the hypertube, launched 500+ miles/hrs into the ground, glitches through, and my game crashed, most recent autosave corrupted.

[indigo kiln]

Lmao

The hypertubes are interesting

I found three glitches with them already

Two of those involved the parachute

[rancid hornet]

I went to far out of the map one time and it deleted my inventory

[leaden matrix]

I just use a concrete pillars blue print :>

[sonic sierra]

Anyone else got like 600 industrial storage they don't know what to do with

[leaden matrix]

Theres, a, parachute?

[indigo kiln]

I will too but I want two rails and hypertube and power

[warm finch]

research down the MAM trees

[leaden matrix]

Uhh no I have 5000 and its all FUCKING FULL😭

[indigo kiln]

Yeah I don't know how to get it normally but I got one in the advent calendar

[indigo kiln]

What tree I've been doing that

[warm finch]

mycelia

[leaden matrix]

OHHHH, I didnt play during Christmas season but got back into recently😭

[indigo kiln]

Soooo where does one find one of those

[sonic sierra]

Exactly and all of them were born form the desire for a clean inventory

THE VHRISTMAS EVENT WAS SO ANNOYING

[warm finch]

are you in the grasslands?

[indigo kiln]

Just put it into a sink

[sonic sierra]

STOP RAINING PRESENTS ON MY MACHINE

[leaden matrix]

Hell*

[indigo kiln]

Yeah

[warm finch]

caves, SAM PIT

[indigo kiln]

No that's my desert start save

Mmmmm

I do have the yeet bombs now

[leaden matrix]

I started in the planes, if I could turn back time and go to the desert I would do IT SO FAST😭

Everything is impure and far away in the planes and the terrain is a nightmare

[indigo kiln]

Dude the planes are fucking godston compared to the desert

[warm finch]

desert dunes is harder lol

[indigo kiln]

Especially for your start

I think I've only found two inpure iron in the dunes so far

[sonic sierra]

Seeing Mercer spheres for first time: "IS THIS SUPER RARE??"
Me now: great. 17 more to get a small debit upgrade

[leaden matrix]

Its a harder start but it makes things so much easier later

[indigo kiln]

How?

[stone python]

ease of water availability

[sonic sierra]

Watching #imkibitz makes my.brain smooth

[indigo kiln]

Ah

[indigo kiln]

I just saw his insane nuclear power plant thing

[warm finch]

tons of water available in grass plains. in desert dunes you have to go to ONE specific spot

[sonic sierra]

Dude I don't understand

[stone python]

and i answered spacepolice who asked how, and i explained how. i wasnt responding to you

[sonic sierra]

6000000 water pipes organized

[indigo kiln]

I found shrooms

[indigo kiln]

But he's right I just looked at the map You're argument for the dunes is invalid there's only one spot for water

[stone python]

?????????dermcell said dunes is harder, you asked how, i explained how

[leaden matrix]

Oh my FUCKING GOD WHY IS PETROLEUM COAL SO EFFICIENT😭 😭

[stone python]

am i going crazy here

[indigo kiln]

Ahhh bruh I'm dumb I read your message backward

[warm finch]

dermucell said it was a harder start, but easier in the long run in comparison to grass plains

[indigo kiln]

No wait dermacell was the one saying it was easier

[leaden matrix]

Easier in the long run
Harder start though :>

[feral jay]

oops killed a little birdie

Silly guided bullets...

[warm finch]

MURDERER!

Have you killed Steve yet?

[stone python]

and theyre not wrong. at the start it is difficult due to lack of logistics and water availability, once that problem is sovled, dunes is fantastic due to the abundance of ore and how open it is

[feral jay]

12 Steves

[warm finch]

Then we'll have to disagree. I hate being tied to one location for all my water needs

[feral jay]

Although some may have been his brother Tim

[stone python]

damn, that is a while pack of steves

[indigo kiln]

Fuck these bitch ass spiders

[feral jay]

They keep showing up in the most annoying places and stopping me from building

[stone python]

you arent, once you solve the issue of water logisitcs (trans/packaging) you arent tied to one source

[indigo kiln]

Mmmmmm

[stone python]

which is why it is a hard start, but a great later game area

[indigo kiln]

The jetpack isn't a very good jetpack I just fell to my death

[warm finch]

wait until.... nah, not gonna the surprise for you

[indigo kiln]

I already found the big ass spider

[warm finch]

yeah I aint doing that lol!

[stone python]

have you found the spider cave

[warm finch]

there's worse.... lol

[indigo kiln]

I don't know every cave I've gone to it has spiders

[warm finch]

what fuel are you using?

[feral jay]

There are dozens of them... DOZENS!

[indigo kiln]

Solid biofuel, I just entered phase 3

[leaden matrix]

......

No wonder😭

[warm finch]

make some liquid biofuel asap

it's GREAT for jetpack

[stone python]

quick, should i start a new game just because (no reason needed)

[warm finch]

especially if you pulse it

[indigo kiln]

I've got to solve my power problem first

But I'm going to delay that because I want trains

[stone python]

[warm finch]

yeah you're gonna HAVE to solve your power issues first before you can run trains

[indigo kiln]

I just need one train

The oil is 2.5 km from me

[warm finch]

that's what the explorer is for

[leaden matrix]

Pfffttt, get a load of this guy, he thinks he can 'fix his power issue'

you will deal with it untill you die

[indigo kiln]

I have yet to build a truck or explorer

Oh actually the only one I have is the tractor

I've been putting off all long distance transportation methods because trains

[warm finch]

Trust me, make some liquid biofuel, you'll get to go to oil and back in NO TIME

[indigo kiln]

Didn't realize it was going to take me so long to get here though

[indigo kiln]

I can't I don't have any oil

[warm finch]

you don't need oil.

[indigo kiln]

Ughhhhhh

[warm finch]

it's solid biofuel and some water in a refinenry

[indigo kiln]

#screenshots message
@warm finch

[short fiber]

I just imagine a reverse satisfactory game were u return things to nature

[indigo kiln]

That exists it's called eco something

[warm finch]

oh hell I totoally forgot about that lmao. my bad

[indigo kiln]

Lmao

[warm finch]

and shit, that's gonna hurt me, ugh

[indigo kiln]

I made a tractor so for now

[warm finch]

have you gone down the silica research tree in MAM?

[indigo kiln]

And I don't even have a quartz node setup lmao

[warm finch]

you can find random quartz deposits to hand mine

[indigo kiln]

Yeah I have done that but not very much

[fickle locust]

Is the packager thing 3x the containers for a full cycle?

[indigo kiln]

I don't really go exploring much

The tractor feels a lot slower than just jetpack parachute combo

[warm finch]

do it for the silica. WELL worth it for a tool you'll get. I won't spoil it for you

[indigo kiln]

Okay

I'm stuck inside the tractor I can't get out

Nope there we go

[swift turret]

they are but they're also good for automation

[indigo kiln]

No

Trains

Trains best

[leaden matrix]

Mmm traainnnnssss

I like drones tho :>

[indigo kiln]

I have about $2,000 of model trains in my room You ain't convincing me to choose not trains for anything longer than a belt

[cyan leaf]

Lol i like trains

[indigo kiln]

I got to touch a Union Pacific Big boy last year Best day of my fucking life

[warm finch]

I do it for the lolz of having a tractor running around. same for the cart lol

[cyan leaf]

😭 ngl a train hobby person are like the most lay back simple beings

[warm finch]

and I saw that @indigo kiln, you need to find better partners lol

[indigo kiln]

😂

I see the explorer in the courts tree I don't have enough courts to get the crystal oscillator though

[warm finch]

hold off on that, get something else instead

[indigo kiln]

The closest quartz note to me is 1.2 km away ugh

[warm finch]

specifically in the quartz tree

focus, spacepoilce. there's a TOOL you want to get in the quartz tree

[indigo kiln]

Oh the blade runners

Yeah I've been had those

They do not make me want to walk 2.5 km though

[warm finch]

it makes the jetpack so much better

sprint+ crouch+jump+jetpack=SPEEEEED

[leaden matrix]

Its the one not far off from the oil nodes on the coast right?

[indigo kiln]

No the oil node Coast is what I'm trying to get to

[leaden matrix]

ONNGGGG

• jetfuel and its a dream in heaven

[warm finch]

I actually prefer liquid biofuel until I get ion fuel

[leaden matrix]

Yeah theres a quartz like 600-900 away from that

[indigo kiln]

I'm very very close to plans sam pit

[leaden matrix]

Ew, I hate biofuel😭

[warm finch]

it goes sooooooo far, especially w hen you pulse it lol it's GREAT for exploration

[rancid hornet]

Its so slow though

But might just be me being impatient

[indigo kiln]

You can't automate it that's why I don't like it

You can automate everything except for the collection

[rancid hornet]

That to

[warm finch]

agreed, it's definitely slow, that's the trade off. but it has a very long burn time

[indigo kiln]

And the collection is the worst part

[rancid hornet]

Yean

[indigo kiln]

Long burn time doesn't really mean much if you can have more of something else

Like I'm probably going to switch to fuel for everything

[warm finch]

long burn time is crutical for exploration. also a boon for building

[indigo kiln]

What are the roads look like in game the ones that are on satisfactory calculator

[swift turret]

you dont get trains until insane automation

[indigo kiln]

Jokes on you already have trains

[swift turret]

you can setup a road network pretty quickly early on

by steel

[indigo kiln]

I'm aware I just don't like wheels unless it's on a train

[warm finch]

but no power, so joke is on you? lol

[indigo kiln]

I have power I removed a forest

Oh what the fuck I found different breed of spitters

[leaden matrix]

SMART SPLITTERS

MY ONE TRUE LOVE

OVERFLOW CONTROL

[warm finch]

BTW they said SPITTER, not SPLITTER

[swift turret]

merger

[indigo kiln]

Does the different spitters actually do anything The blue one seem to die faster

[warm finch]

yes

[swift turret]

yeah they give good biomass

100 biomass per protein

is nice

[indigo kiln]

I've been pretty conflicted on using them for biomass or DNA so I've just been stockpiling them

[warm finch]

DNA all the way, and for inhalers

[indigo kiln]

I also need to set up bausite, quarts

Only too easy early game resources I haven't done

I kept meaning to but I never did

[swift turret]

they're infinite so it doesnt matter

[indigo kiln]

Same with Sam and sulfur but I at least a node for those ones set up

[swift turret]

as long as you dont build in the area

[indigo kiln]

Huh

I managed to blow myself up but not the hog

[swift turret]

the hog had a noblisk

[warm finch]

jetpack

[swift turret]

ooo yeah he might've gotten the rare hog

I forgot that was a thing it happened to me in update 8

[indigo kiln]

The what

[swift turret]

hog with a jetpack

[indigo kiln]

Is there a way to get two back slots I would really like my jetpack and parachute at the same time

[indigo kiln]

M.......

[warm finch]

nope, gotta pick one or the other

[indigo kiln]

That might be scarier than a spider

[swift turret]

maybe with mods

[warm finch]

shhhh we don't say that dirty 4 letter word here

[swift turret]

mod

thats 3 letters

[indigo kiln]

I feel like solid biofuel jet pack just isn't worth it

[warm finch]

that's why it's a "starter" fuel

[swift turret]

make turbo and bio

[indigo kiln]

I'm stuck behind the great plastic barrier

[swift turret]

I like bio for long travels and for reaching high places I like turbo

[swift turret]

you dropped plastic around yourself and forgot how to get out?

[indigo kiln]

No I have zero plastic

[swift turret]

then make plastic

[indigo kiln]

I'M TRYING TO GET TO OIL

[swift turret]

10 refineries at 300 oil

[indigo kiln]

I'm failing to be American

[swift turret]

Where are you

[indigo kiln]

Running around the coast until I find the coastal oil

[swift turret]

its on the islands

not at the shore

[indigo kiln]

THAT'S A BIG SPITTER I'M TURNING AROUND

[warm finch]

use V scan

[swift turret]

theres like 100 big spitters over there

and 100 hogs and 100 hatchers

[indigo kiln]

I'm 792 m away

Starting to regret not investing in rebar gun

[warm finch]

or blade runners....

[indigo kiln]

I shall become an artillery Cannon

[warm finch]

if you crouch you can sneak up on the hatchers

[swift turret]

just hit them with the saber

[indigo kiln]

I have blade runners
