satisfactory

[valid timber]

Maybe you could open a ticket and ask the devs if that issue has been reported

if thats what tickets let you do here, im unsure

[mortal ginkgo]

does it happen if you enter the only grid you have too?

[white dawn]

Nah, just when changing which grid it's getting power from

[mortal ginkgo]

Gud.

[white dawn]

You can definitely go for ages without ever noticing the problem, of course

[sinful cove]

i think you have to do a thing ion their QA site, the ticket here i think is for discord related stuff

[valid timber]

How soon into Phase 3 can you unlock trains, do you need any further advanced materials?

such as plastic or oil or something

[clear mesa]

uhhhhhh you need rubber

[valid timber]

mm ok got it

im assuming thats not too hard, but im sure ill need that setup eitherway

[clear mesa]

but honestly rubber and plastic are very easy to make

[valid timber]

yah ive heard

lotta people telling me its just placing a million refinerys

[clear mesa]

yeah the annoyance comes in not having an efficient blueprint method

[valid timber]

do you unlock a bigger blueprint floor in the next phase?

phase 3 that is*

[clear mesa]

i cant remember if the mk2 is in phase 3 or 4

[pale vine]

lf a duo on pc who can vc or soemone to help me out a bit

[mortal ginkgo]

I got the feeling it is a terrible thing to occur to have Nuclear Power on a separate grid with its water extractors that has to work 100% of the time.

[valid timber]

If it wasnt 4 am I didnt just get off after a very long session I would 💔

[white dawn]

It does mark the beginning of a phase of Refinery Simulator 3000™. :D

[valid timber]

sorry, maybe put something up in #1201555265942724758

[valid timber]

ah, sounds wonderful

[white dawn]

It's not awful, though. Or at least by the time you get through the rest of the game you'll not find it especially awful. Refineries are ezpz. :D

[valid timber]

If I didnt like placing things repeatedly I wouldnt be playing this game :P

[clear mesa]

and hotfixing for an hour after the fact

[valid timber]

hotfixing my beloved

[clear mesa]

only to find out your sleep deprived mind forgot to place a conveyor in the beginning

[pale vine]

:C

[valid timber]

sat there trying to figure out why half of modular frame assemblers werent making anything just to find out I placed a conveyor lift on the wrong end of the system and thus, missed a tiny belt

[pale vine]

lf a duo on pc who can vc or soemone to help me out a bit

[valid timber]

#1201555265942724758 will be better im sure :)

[clear mesa]

#1201555265942724758

[valid timber]

hotfixing is the fun of making bigger projects though

[clear mesa]

idk man...

[valid timber]

hahaha

[clear mesa]

it's fun if it doesnt take long

[valid timber]

it would be nice if it just worked sometimes but

[clear mesa]

once that first fix doesn't fix everything you start to lose it 😭

[valid timber]

LOL yeah ive been there

oh my god i just remembered

when I set up my uhh... EIB plant

i forgot to add mergers to my assemblers and a storage crate

i left it for 3 HOURS

before I realized, god I felt like an idiot

[clear mesa]

Lmao yeah i dont leave until i can 100% gurantee it still works

i stick around for a few minutes, and let manifolds fill up before activating the next row of machines

the real pain is leaving your game run for an hour and coming back to find your power production fluctuating 😞

[valid timber]

I had like 4 conveyor lifts on that side so my brain automatically assumed one of them was the output

[valid timber]

I left my 32 coal plant running at 30 because I forgot 2 conveyor belts

very frustrating when stuff like that happens for sure

[clear mesa]

happens to the best of us

[valid timber]

but it does feel satisfying when you find the issue thats been bugging you the whole time and fixing it just makes the whole system work flawlessly

[clear mesa]

oh yeah

thats what this game is for though

[valid timber]

very... satisfactory

you could say... perhaps...

[clear mesa]

nothing better than finally having something work at the 100% efficiency you planned for

[valid timber]

as someone who has horrible math skills it does feel nice when I get it right

spent 40 minutes on a very simple multiplication equation before I realized I had the wrong number for one of my inputs

[clear mesa]

😭

I've been humbled before by thinking i could work out a "simple" problem in my head too

before realising i overengineered it and had to tear down 2 hours of work

[valid timber]

I did this on one of my past playthroughs

overengineered a modular frame factory way out of proportion for a dude who was still on mk1 miners and mk2 belts

spent 2 hours taking it all down

oh my gosh you could totally daisy chain power storage couldnt you

oh wait no you couldnt nvm

i confused myself for a second looking at the wiki page

[sinful cove]

i submitting it on their QA site another reason why i know its not my keyboard because C is also the crouch button in the game and that does not trigger randomly

[valid timber]

hmm yeah sounds worth submitting then

[sinful cove]

yea if the keyboard would be an issue i would be crouching all the time and then I can go "ok yea its most likely something up with my keyboard" but it is not so its even a strong case of ruling out a keyboard issue

[valid timber]

sounds like it

yikes ok it really is late

heading to sleep now thanks for the conversation guys :P

[sinful cove]

have a good night

[topaz flicker]

Any tested Starrupture yet? Seems like a 100% copy paste of Satisfactory.

• no cars.
• can’t build several levels.

• alien invasions.

[quasi warren]

Satisfactory has tractors and trucks tho

[sinful cove]

its not a copy and past satisfactory it is heavy inspired but its not. It is a tower defense game disguised as a factory game

[white dawn]

From what I saw it seemed quite different than Satisfactory

[sinful cove]

i have it and played it

[mortal ginkgo]

It isnt a disguise. It IS a factory game.

[white dawn]

Just 'cause a game is a first-person automation game doesn't automatically make it a Satisfactory clone

[sinful cove]

well it is but the core game play loop is tower defense at its core

[mortal ginkgo]

if it is a FPS game it is Satisfactory clone fayt me irl bro

[sinful cove]

i am not saying it is not a factory game per say but the primary game play loop is tower defense with factory elements

[topaz flicker]

I don’t think you have played it 😂

[sinful cove]

which is why it is not a satisfactory clone, for a clone to happen it has to be pretty much identical with no twitst or different game play loop at all and most factory games out there that is not satisfactory has differences enough not to be a clone and satisfactory even the devs admits is inspired by factorio then again that is the OG of them all hehe

[sinful cove]

i have the game and i did the playtest it is a tower defense where there is wave of alien attacks that you have to defend your base

[mortal ginkgo]

I mean I watched gameplay and there are some chungus amount of factory building...

[white dawn]

In terms of features, too, I think it'd be unfair to compare the 6-years-of-public-releases Satisfactory to a just-released-on-EA new game

If you're gonna compare and gripe about features it'd be only fair to compare it to Satisfactory's Update 2 or whatever. :)

[sinful cove]

there is major differences between satisfactory and starrupture

[mortal ginkgo]

doesnt make it less of a factory game............................ brotherman.

[sinful cove]

even how they handle tiers is different

[sinful cove]

i am not saying it is not a factory game it is primary a tower defense tho

[topaz flicker]

I see no mayor difference other then it lacks vehicles

[sinful cove]

which is why i stopped playing it because i am not a fan of tower defense games

[mortal ginkgo]

"disguised as a factory game" sounded like it isn't a factory game.

I mean, thats what disguise is.

If I disguise myself as ur mom, doesn't make me 5% ur mom.

[sinful cove]

well its primary game play is tower defense which they did not advertise it as such

now they may change this later to balance the 2 better as it is early access

but currently when you upgrade that base core you start getting waves of alien attacks

[topaz flicker]

Im playing the E.A now and the invasion spawn is rare and only activates when you enter the base where you have an upgraded core

[mortal ginkgo]

yeah upgrade core is what triggers them it seems, its a good balance

[sinful cove]

you need to upgrade the core if you want to expand your base up

[mortal ginkgo]

now I hope the PCs in Starrupture ACTUALLY SHUT THE IMPURE LIMESTONE NODE UP

its extremely annoying

Yes you GRABBED a grass.

[sinful cove]

its still a tower defense no matter what coat of paint you put on it

[mortal ginkgo]

Aight buddy.

[leaden turret]

why are people discussing something other than satisfactory in #satisfactory ?

[mortal ginkgo]

Above person is new around. Kek.

[sinful cove]

here is the main concept of a tower defense

|where the primary objective is to defend a player's base, territory, or possessions by strategically placing automated, immobile structures (towers, traps)

[leaden turret]

why are you talking about tower defense in a channel about a game that will never have it?

[white dawn]

Oh sheesh, for some reason I'd assumed this was happening over in #off-topic-general . :D Looking slightly to the left is hard

[sinful cove]

the conversation started about starrupture i did not start the conversation i just joined in on it

[mortal ginkgo]

No Satisfactory discussion going on, we don't need "Reddit Mod Behavior" here when nobody is disturbed.

This is also still Satisfactory related as there are comprassion and discussions going on.

[white dawn]

Eh, nah, keeping this to #off-topic-general is best

[leaden turret]

so you XKCD-386'd yourself into rambling about off-topic stuff in the on-topic chanel

[white dawn]

This isn't reddit mod behavior it's just keeping a typically-very-busy server focused properly

[mortal ginkgo]

Person still asked if people played the game and for similarities for Satisfactory. Its a big pass for me.

[mortal ginkgo]

Elden Ring server is very-busy. This game hardly gets busier to disturb any balance unless talk is about Cast Screws or Pipes.

to each their own I guess.

[leaden turret]

if I alt tab to #satisfactory and my vertical monitor is more than half full of non-satisfactory chat, that's a sign people are XKCD-386ing 😛

[quasi warren]

People are what-?

[leaden turret]

https://xkcd.com/386/

engaging in fruitless arguments merely becuse Someone Is Wrong On The Internet

leading to the off-topic chatter to continue on the premise of "must keep going because I Am Right And They Are Wrong" :p

[white dawn]

-# You're missing the crucial point though which is that I'm right

[leaden turret]

I would say more on the topic, but it'd violate several rules to do so 😛

so, streams likely to start again soon.

everyone got questions stacked up about 1.2/1.3/lizarddoggobuttholeorcloaca ?

[ivory condor]

All I want to know is when is rain, also snow biome when also

Maybe 1.2 will have rain back, 1.3 is snow biome expansion of course

[dire meteor]

hi all, in which channel is better to ask questions about advices for the game? for example i need help with trains

[sinful cove]

what i wonder is what comes after 1.2 because he mentioned that they will eventually stop the 1.x thing and they have something big planned and left us hanging with that lol. It really peaked my interest there

[white dawn]

#1038092680493801533 or #design-and-architecture for trains, probably. Either will let you inline images, which is nearly always required when talking trains

General questions can go here too, of course, but for trains (and pipes) you nearly always want image embeds

[sinful cove]

lol make note to self never run while paying attention to chat. Almost ran into a group of fart rocks

[ivory condor]

big planned, like what Satisfactory: Space Age

[sinful cove]

that would be funny if it was something space related tho

[vale quail]

What’s everyone perdition of when 1.2 will come I’d say q 2

[mortal ginkgo]

Snow aint coming buddy

[ivory condor]

are you a hidden dev

[sinful cove]

lol they having a hard time getting rain in let alone snow and i know they mentioned that there is no plans for snow biom in one of the QA things

[clear mesa]

1.3 is the golf and snow update idk what u mean

[ivory condor]

I believe in css to make rain happen

[mortal ginkgo]

can I say "yesn't" since I know how hard it would to make snow as I know unreal engine etc? 😛

[sinful cove]

i know with unreal 4 they had rain and the tool they had for it was not compatible for unreal 5 which is why they never put it back in

[queen slate]

oh somersloops where artest thou

[kind spade]

What’s the highest awesome sink point item?

[humble osprey]

if i have a fully charged battery in blueprint, will it retain the power if i build the blueprint??

[ivory condor]

but there are plenty of unreal engine 5 snow tutorials😛

[humble osprey]

i need something that can run a machine for half a second in my blueprint

[mortal ginkgo]

YOU DEFEATED THE ARGUEMENT 100%

[sinful cove]

oh i am sure there is plenty of methods to do it but you need to think about dev time as every min someone is at the computer deving cost the company money its not about the ability to do it, its about the time vs benefit and value to the game

[ivory condor]

btw did you know recently unreal engine 5.7 just came out, when is the game being updated to that

[mortal ginkgo]

in 5 minutes, compiling it takes time bro cmon!

[ivory condor]

it still amazes me even after 1.0 launched, the devs are still working on the game

sales most be strong still

[mortal ginkgo]

ok now can you please tell them 1.2 patch release is not really big of a deal and they dont need to hide upcoming features as if they are FBI secrets?

[sinful cove]

this is a told fold thing, sales must be strong as well it is a way to try to bring in more people as well. When they add features, fixes, etc... there is always a chances to bring in more people

because it shows the customers that the devs are still active with the game which is a selling point in itself

[ivory condor]

but css always hordes features like its the x-files, under lock and key

[clear mesa]

I mean they might just not want to promise anything ig?

it's also fun when you get an update with features you weren't expecting :p

[mortal ginkgo]

we know whats coming, they could just... say it, you know.

[sinful cove]

it was a pleasent supprise when they gave us elevators that was nice

[clear mesa]

🤷‍♂️

they could but ultimately it makes no difference to me ig idk :p

it's def nice to look forward to something

[tame bobcat]

its friday time to hop back on the factory 😍

[reef basin]

looking at trailer, description, reviews and quick video of gameplay, it's like 1% Satisfactory

[mortal ginkgo]

I find the Pull System rather interesting...

It really makes belting simplified and really welcoming.

[void cliff]

I played it for 15 minutes and thought it was Ass and refunded it.

same thing with planet builder, actually.

[sinful cove]

well its early access so there is that lol

[atomic cradle]

For planning like big and medium factory's, so people do the math on their own or use something else?

[sinful cove]

i use a caculator on my phone or hit N in game and just do the math 🙂

[wary falcon]

why do some crafting things say they are working at like 20% yet they have a perfect supply of materials?

45 in 45 out per min, perfectly and consistently yet my foundry says 33%

[versed cosmos]

Output full?

[sinful cove]

normally that is because something is full or something down the line the math does not add up somewhere

so i am assuming you doing concrete since you mention 45 per min

[wary falcon]

well im doing steel, but to me, in my eyes its perfect, every machine in the system never has a moment in which it is not crafting, + there is no backlog and they go straight to a storage unit

from what i can tell it operates at 100% but displays 33%

[drowsy kelp]

Have you tried restarting the game

And/or server if you’re playing on one

[wary falcon]

ill try it now sec

[sinful cove]

i know i seen that issue pop up on me in the past on dedicated server before and logging in and out resets the display for me

this was awhile back tho

pre 1.0

[wary falcon]

oh yeah that fisxed it

ty

[boreal snow]

how do i get pool.light.lightshaft.count=0 to work without using console command everytime? In Engine.ini it doesn't work

[green fiber]

likely needs a mod, if it exists for that

[humble osprey]

hey giys how do i move the stop marker from my car's path

[white dawn]

Walk up to it; there'll be a prompt to interact with it. Can delete it via the dialog that pops up when you do

(You can also do the same thing to delete other nodes, and set the wait time at stations -- the stations load at 2 stacks per second)

[gloomy tusk]

I FINALLY FINISHED MY SUPERCOMPUTER FACTORY

It produces 5/min

Took me 50+ hours to make because I built I in a terrible place

[whole ermine]

where?

[gloomy tusk]

#screenshots

[whole ermine]

epic

[gloomy tusk]

It’s my biggest creation yet

Omg I can unlock nuclear

[fickle locust]

Did you dynamite the whole forest?

[woven palm]

I have a question / request

Wanting to get the game, but I do not like the fact there is no real enemies or defense mechanicsm like Factorio.
Are there any good mods that have this?

[queen slate]

Just finished my 130 gw factory :

[sinful cove]

The game is really designed to be more laxed then typico factorio or other games like it. There is challenges with the animals for sure but there is no base attack or base damage mechanics really as it is not that type of game

[spark escarp]

On the satisfactory calculator, can you add the input as ONLY lets say Iron ore, so If I have 2400 iron that I get from the miner, so now I can put output to like motor, because I need motors and now I am confused because on the webiste its using the miner as input even tho I set it to the Iron Ore #screenshots

[white dawn]

The mods database is pretty easy to browse through, btw. Though I wouldn't expect much. Would require a lotta new systems to be added to the game for it to be an interesting mechanic

[woven palm]

Ah, I was just hoping for a more combat themed mod, since that what makes factorio interesting for me.

[sinful cove]

There is games that has exactly that kind of mechanic you looking for, there was a discussion earlier on that game but satisfactory is still a fun game even with out that

[woven palm]

What game is this?

[white dawn]

Could be it's out there and I just don't know. :) As I say, at least the mods DB is quite easily browseable. :)

[merry tendon]

guys

[sinful cove]

i will bring it up in #off-topic-general so it does not disrupt this chat

[woven palm]

Is it through steam workshop or online somewhere?
If the latter, could you link me please

[merry tendon]

how do i change the direction of the top in the conveyoir lift

[fickle locust]

Press R

[queen slate]

Mouse scroll after you click once

[white dawn]

There's links to it in #welcome , or just google. :) It's not in Steam Workshop, no, 'cause CSS wants to stay storefront-agnostic for mods. The mod infrastructure's all community-driven

ficsit.app or something, I think? (add your own https://)

[queen slate]

Do you mean input and output or direction?

[merry tendon]

thanks

[queen slate]

Np

Goddam do drones not be lacking

Slacking*

My boi is schmoving

[sinful cove]

this game technically does not have official mods but there is a mod manager you can get that the community has made and works really well. Little google search is easy to find. As for base attacks and combat stuff not heard of any major mods that really changes this but, there is a lot of mods I am not aware of as well so who knows to be honest

[queen slate]

Can’t even imagined ne how fast ionized would be

[gloomy tusk]

i did for only the area i use

i try to keep the game still pretty even with all of my industrialisation

[frosty mirage]

i finally finished my first factory with foundation, walls and an actually well-planned logistics ❤️ i made it for steel pipes, steel beams and encase industrial beams. I learned how to scale modular factories with this build, next project is an everything iron factory

[fiery gull]

Hello

Just started playing the game 🙂

[keen vault]

welcome to the loop

[sinful cove]

welcome to the party

[spare cradle]

Get ready to dump hours into the game

[fiery gull]

It's neverending right?

[spare cradle]

Or 5 and immediately leave

[fiery gull]

Already love this game 😂

[rocky moon]

For ab automated smart plating factory, I'm using 3 normal iron nodes, do I want 2 nodes to make rods, and have 1 node make plates, or reverse?

[keen vault]

u either go 100 or 3000

[spare cradle]

... Yeah

[sinful cove]

yea and when you think you will put the game down when your finished with 1 area think again hahahaha its always "1 more project"

[keen vault]

i might go 3k then buy factorio

[spare cradle]

I'm alr at 100 and ain't done

[fiery gull]

I C

[keen vault]

im at 46 rn, i got it during winter sale and legit is 95% of my last 2 weeks

[fiery gull]

💀 I got ocd and perfectionism and everything so....

[keen vault]

perfect game

[spare cradle]

I got it during it also and have myself pumped nearly 100hours into it

[sinful cove]

omg then you going to be living in the game for the long haul hehehehe forget social life for awhile 😛

[keen vault]

social withdrawal is very very common

[fiery gull]

You mean the one I try to make but it always looks like I'm mad at someone 😂

[keen vault]

the crippling urge to add another floor

[spare cradle]

I will not self-diagnose, but I myself have a liking for the factory-oriented games. (Per the android ones as well)

[rocky moon]

..

[fiery gull]

I was watching this video earlier about some dude playing this game 5 years ago and man I was getting pissed at him for not properly organizing stuff

[keen vault]

im a factory and roguelike addict and i cant stop it, i dont want to

[spare cradle]

Everything I have made isn't Modular in due to the different requirements each have.

[fiery gull]

How's the game going for you satisfied factory workers?

[spare cradle]

I am not until the red forest is a desolate land with there is no life.

[keen vault]

i need to put my machines on steroids rq

and start using trains

then ill be living the sight

[fiery gull]

https://tenor.com/view/bunny-wth-confused-huh-what-gif-6154003038879814

[spare cradle]

I have designed a factory that runs on caterium and iron to make motors, with the current location making 20/min

[keen vault]

i make like 0.2 motors/min

i need to fix that

[spare cradle]

I need a lesser one of those machines to make Phase 3 materials.

[spare cradle]

Mine before this new one was more of .9/hr bc of inefficient transfer of materials to the machines

[sinful cove]

normally my factory starts to look messy well organized mess until i get to coal power then i tear everything down and really go into details on things and make things look neat

[keen vault]

my factory is right next to 3 normal iron nodes and im using 1 only. i think im cooked

[spare cradle]

Some playthrough will look like spaghetti no matter what

[fiery gull]

Confusion

[spare cradle]

That means you can easily expand to the other 2

[keen vault]

these concepts will become common knowledge

[spare cradle]

You will know the Material/min of every node before you know enoguh

[keen vault]

should i make 3 smelters for it or js 1?

[fickle locust]

About to find out if I did my packager unpackager circuit correctly

[spare cradle]

Iron right? It's 1 miner at %100 to 2 smelters of the same.

[keen vault]

ur brain will overload so much that simplicity will ruin it

[peak plank]

Depends on your tech level

[fiery gull]

Gonna get back to the game Prob not me lol

[spare cradle]

But my calc is with Mk2 miners

[keen vault]

so then 6

[spare cradle]

No. Still 2

[keen vault]

im using mk2 anyway

[keen vault]

i havent settled my brain cells fully

[spare cradle]

I would say rather... Is to do the calc yourself

A smelter is 30-># and a Mk2 on a impure node is 60.

[keen vault]

i have normal nodes for all 3

so 120

[spare cradle]

If it is normal double the amt of smelters and devise a I1O4 splitter

So, 4.

Or you can do all 3 with mk2s and easily split the pre amongst 12 smelts

It's all about the factors

[peak plank]

Belts are the limiting factor

[keen vault]

atp i might aswell rebuild it all again

[spare cradle]

Always, but if it's early tech def.

What mk do you have belts?

[keen vault]

the more rebuilds the more my brain fry

[spare cradle]

You can design with mk3-2 for what it takes

[keen vault]

i have mk3

[spare cradle]

I would say is to portion out the process

[spare cradle]

You should be able to build without the belts being a limit

[keen vault]

resource flow is gonna spike my brain so hard

with no limits

and make my factory atleast 200% more efficient

[peak plank]

One pure node can give 600 per minute, belts are nearly always the limiter

[spare cradle]

A pure at their current tech lvl can only be 240.

And, I always calculate my machines at 100% OC

For the reason of belts

[peak plank]

I mean if you have access to higher belts why calculate at 100%

[golden nexus]

Pure nodes give 1,200/min

[peak plank]

With mk3. He said he had mk2s

[spare cradle]

Because later on I will be limited to my current tech through just amt of material

[spare cradle]

He has mk3

[peak plank]

Miner not belt

[golden nexus]

It makes sense to built to it being 1200/min if its on a pure node, or a multiple of 600.

[spare cradle]

They are not aiming for 100% the highest

[peak plank]

Blasphemy

[golden nexus]

But generally in the build its self, belts are never a real limit

[peak plank]

Miners have 1 output, they are a limit a huge chunk of the game

[golden nexus]

"The build its self"

as int he factory part not the extraction part

[quasi warren]

Whenever I read this chat without context I feel like im watching engineers come up with something

[golden nexus]

For example you can take something which is 480/min copper ore, use copper alloy double than to 940/min and get on with it. We do this with solid steel ingot all the time as another example because it inflates the rate off the node. The game introduces this concept to you at Tier 1

[spare cradle]

They are only phase 3-2

[whole ermine]

do mk3 miners still take turbomotors

[golden nexus]

yes

[peak plank]

Ya, you make 2 belts 😂. 2 is the most that makes sense to be due to stations. "Mega factories" are just modular designs stacked together. They function identically if built together or 5km apart

[whole ermine]

the jump from mk2 to mk3 is huggeeee

[golden nexus]

Well, mayby, there are other better alternative approaches. Screws being the one that people run into issues with first which is why they struggle with rplate, rotor which causes a knock on struggle to later tiers if not resolved effectivly...

Theres methods which when quite simply applied with mk2 belts + rplate recipies will let you build 60/min no problem

Clean... no spagetti

[peak plank]

Ya. I dont disagree, but youll always have modular pieces that can operate independently at every step of the production. People just happen to build them next to each other

[golden nexus]

From what i can tell the limit for rplate is first met using thoose methods at mk6 belts is 600/min output of rplate in a 4x8 footprint (foundations) or something

which funny enough is 10x the speed of a mk2

[odd ibex]

how can I load balance on 22 smelter?

[golden nexus]

use a manifold

[odd ibex]

uhh okay

ty

[subtle marten]

hello!

[barren badger]

hai!

[spare cradle]

Hi

[golden nexus]

Yup, Thats the trap people try to build all the screws in one place and then make all the rplate in another and fall into that trap and then hate screws because they cannot work around the belt limit

[oak nymph]

Hi

[whole ermine]

something like "Auto hide hand slot after 3 minutes" would be really nice

[spare cradle]

Counterpoint, just don't use screws

[golden nexus]

Quickwire has the same effects/issues

[whole ermine]

or something to make your hand really small

like how you can change viewmodel fov in TF2

[golden nexus]

The game introduces things to you early to fight with to make sure you need to figure them out for later 🙂

[spare cradle]

That is so nice of them

[golden nexus]

Its almost like if you skip / avoid and don't learn you get punished for it later 🙂

[oak nymph]

Are drone ok to transport really small amounts of item like 2/min

[golden nexus]

yeah

[whole ermine]

thats pretty much waht drones are for

[clear mesa]

ye it'll balance out

by the second run

[golden nexus]

drones are bad at high rates

[oak nymph]

What is considered high rate

[golden nexus]

good for low rate

[golden nexus]

200+/min depends on stack size

[whole ermine]

ive never really gone above 120/min

[oak nymph]

My most is 150 /min

On sulfur

[golden nexus]

its going to carry concrete which stacks to 500 more than motors which stacks to 50....

its going to be 10x more...

[oak nymph]

I need to carry2 adaptive control unit per min

[spare cradle]

I know what to do. It's to directly put them into the same plant for the component they are for

So no one belt is loading more than cap

[golden nexus]

Yup, You can also then feed the individual machines with a vertical belts in stack floor on floor to put out the supply limits as well

[spare cradle]

The mathing stuff I do is totalling for 50% of my play time :p

[whole ermine]

i dunno why i didnt realise this sooner but i have the 9 and 0 hotbar slots bound to my side mouse buttons

so i dont have to reach over with my left hand

[clear mesa]

thank u for this beautiful information

you just made me realise too

[spare cradle]

I love that way of building

[golden nexus]

[spare cradle]

KONKRET!

[whole ermine]

conk pete

is there a way to highlight ore nodes on the compass permanently

[peak plank]

no

you can mark them manually thats about it

[whole ermine]

dammit i just realised too i didnt have to run these belts

somehow i didnt see that i could build a like 100 meter long belt instead of the wiggly zig zag belt i made

#screenshots message

[fluid crow]

you can show or hide things for the compass or map in the the map

[spiral summit]

wth is satisfactory tools down

[frosty mirage]

80 hours into the game and I realized this is more of an architecture game than a factory one

[feral jay]

https://satisfactorytools.com down for anyone else?

[sullen gull]

Loads, but now get a cert error

[feral jay]

nvm back up

[gloomy tusk]

havent seen this guy in a while

[gloomy tusk]

300 hours into the game and just hit nuclear

Having a newly rebuilt factory feels so good

Nice and organized #screenshots message

[paper star]

That's just crazy talk!

[storm scroll]

Hello !

Fairly new to the game how are we all doing this evening !

[fickle locust]

My Alien power boost is now above my current consumption, so that's fun

[fiery gull]

Is it possible to put the equipment workshop on the HUB

[feral jay]

Welcome!

[whole ermine]

ech i have to build 32 smelters

time to make custom blueprints

[whole ermine]

Not having much fun. im really tired and keep making dumb mistakes and having to fix them

Ive been playing for like 8 hours straight

so addicting.....

[obsidian quail]

Sounds like it's time for a break....

[feral jay]

Breaks are not Ficsit®™ approved

[sullen gull]

Consolations to the fam. They'll miss ya 😏

[storm scroll]

Jesus I spent couple hours trying to build the stuff up I’m doing and my brain is hurting already 😂

[storm scroll]

All for efficiency

[sullen gull]

Consume ....

[feral jay]

Remember: exhaustion is not covered by the FICSIT®™ Pioneer Health Plan. Nor is pioneer health!

[fiery gull]

Anyone know the answer?

[storm scroll]

Would help you if I could sorry

[clear mesa]

press h and nudge it until it allows you to

they cant be within each other's hitbox tho 🤷‍♂️

[fickle locust]

I don't want to make automated wiring yet so I'm going to run around and grab sloops

This seems like a good use of my time

[fiery gull]

Thanks bc I wanted to put it on the 2nd floor of my HUB

[clear mesa]

lol im not sure how flush youll be able to get it, but that's the only way really

[fiery gull]

I figured that it'd be smth you could just...add? yk

[clear mesa]

oh

no they can never touch

their hitboxes will stop each other from being allowed to be placed

you can only clip conveyors, walls, pipes etc

[fiery gull]

Oh really? I'm feeling extra determined to make this one thing work ⏳

[clear mesa]

production buildings, the HUB and other special buildings can't be clipped

[clear mesa]

lol feel free to share if u manage

[fiery gull]

Sure 🙂 Maybe it'll get added lol

[fluid crow]

I too felt like there should be an intended place for it but couldn't find one

[storm scroll]

Is there any recommendation to things to no to when you start off as feel like im struggling already

[reef basin]

The server hosting company seems to be under DDoS attacks right now

[fiery gull]

I just started few hours ago

[golden nexus]

Sure... you just need to get a half solid power plant, a chain saw and the ratios correct

[fiery gull]

Am pretty good at figuring out these kinds of things...usually...

[subtle marten]

shit

[feral jay]

ah, well that sucks ballz, I've become dependent on that little tool of yours

[subtle marten]

well nvm then

[fiery gull]

?

[subtle marten]

tried to send a gif but it didnt go through

[fluid crow]

they are too much excitement for some people

[reef basin]

Neither of my projects, nor the website of the hosting company are reachable

[subtle marten]

fair

[reef basin]

They have been disabled here due to nonstop spam

[fiery gull]

😭

[subtle marten]

fair enough

[fluid crow]

is too much for people to set their own embed settings in discord

[twin jay]

yall I was calculating my entire factory and I was scared I crashed the service (to be clear i didnt think it was likely but it happened at like the exact same time) 💀

[subtle marten]

OOF

[fiery gull]

-# Can someone please explain

[white dawn]

Heh, coincidental. :)

[reef basin]

Is back up for me

[fluid crow]

your factory is so crazy it broke the internet

[clear mesa]

Satisfactory tools a custom made tool that helps you plan out your factory's inputs by choosing what you want to output and how much of it

[twin jay]

YIPPEE YIPPEE YIPPEE

[clear mesa]

(and more)

[fiery gull]

Yay! Fellow nerd! 😄

[clear mesa]

yeah theres quite a few helpful resources if you look for them :p

[oak nymph]

I got kicked out of my hypertube mid run WHY?

[white dawn]

Too much awesome? Are you on multiplayer by chance, btw?

[whole ermine]

#screenshots message looove blue and yellow combined

[spare cradle]

I am forgetting thing

[oak nymph]

No

[white dawn]

mm, k. Not sure then, sorry! Back to "too much awesome," I guess

[oak nymph]

It dealt like half my health bar

[white dawn]

That which doesn't kill you only, like, half kills you?

[fluid crow]

Ficsit would like to take this time to remind you that there is no warranty and use is at your own risk

[tranquil saffron]

went too far down by the waterfalls and almost had a cardiac arrest when the entire game started spazzing out screen flashing, health losing ... YOU ARE LEAVING FICSIT PROPERTY YOU WILL BE TERMINATED ... 😂 Good lord, calm down.

[oak nymph]

Hopefully

It doesn't do it again

[white dawn]

Indeed

[fickle locust]

I just went into the cave the game very obviously tells you will be close quarters and filled with enemies

So I loaded up my shotgun rebar

And I still got a heart attack when I came around a corner and two stingers jumped at me

[wispy osprey]

That which doesn't kill you takes 99% of your health as long as you're full (fall damage)

[feral jay]

That was a really nice QoL improvement imo

[wispy osprey]

Indeed!

[clear mesa]

Why does that happen actually

[simple stream]

can someone help me in my post in #1038092680493801533

[clear mesa]

had to go back and patch up so many sections when a friend installed one

[feral jay]

Still loving my express hypertubes, I made a bunch of express tube lines with 200MW boosters, I fly htrough those

[white dawn]

I mean honestly I'm not even sure if that's more likely in multiplayer or not, just seemed like the kind of thing that could happen with desync or whatever

[clear mesa]

idk, only time it has ever happened was when my friend set up a hypertube on a multiplayer world we had a while ago

[white dawn]

I actually don't use tubes too much myself (I tend to reserve them for smaller in-base transit, like pre-actual-elevators-elevators, etc) so I've yet to run into the ejected-from-the-tube problem

[clear mesa]

and i noticed it only seemed to happen when he'd place them ( i was hosting )

can't i just cheat items into the sink... is there even any point in that 😂

[upbeat hawk]

Is there a 1.2 release planned?

[distant pulsar]

Man I ❤️ blueprints

[distant pulsar]

My guess is they have a lot of sinks and turn them all on at once with some high value item

[oak nymph]

Drone save lives

[tall lantern]

later this year, yes

[hollow schooner]

Does changing game settings through satisfactory calculator disable achievements? I'm starting a new save but don't want to deal with the first 2 - 3 tiers

[white dawn]

No, the only thing that disables achievements is Advanced Game Settings from the in-game menu

Though skipping tiers may make some achievements ungettable; merely unlocking them via SCIM probably doesn't actually trigger the correct events for the "all milestones" one, etc

[twin jay]

@reef basin I have a couple questions about the satisfactory tools code, would you have any place you'd prefer I ask them? (specifc channel, DM, etc?)

[cyan leaf]

Am I able to travel to each biome or nah?

[fluid crow]

yes

[swift turret]

no you have to stay home and eat cheetos

[oak nymph]

I now gotta build a thermal propulsion rocket factory 😭

[swift turret]

so just do it

[spare cradle]

Fun

[swift turret]

you should already be automated all those parts

all you gotta do is move them

[cyan leaf]

Ohh thays why people make mega structures without worrying about resources as much

[oak nymph]

Nah I got fused modular frame and the modular engine so yeah I gotta make cooling system plus turbo motor it gives me a reason to make some in extra that is nice

[swift turret]

how are you not making turbo motors?

you use MK3 miners no?

[oak nymph]

I bought one stack

And it was enough

[swift turret]

smh

you're cooked

[oak nymph]

I have 24 extra

[swift turret]

wow and you only need like a billion to make the part

[oak nymph]

Chill I'm going to do that recipe

Look in screenshot

[swift turret]

yoiu should look into using excess material youu already have

saves time just using your infrastructure from having to make those machines

[rain hollow]

I'm bored

And want to play satisfactory but also talk to someone at the same time

[sinful cove]

yay finally got my coal plants alive on this save now time to hook them up to my main power grid

[rain hollow]

Nice

It was rather annoying for me

[sinful cove]

i have a system for setting up coal plants at least for the early game

[rain hollow]

The annoying part was water. Coal was easy

[swift turret]

talk to your AI girlfriend

[rain hollow]

Don't have one

[fluid crow]

moving the coal to the water is pretty bulletproof

[sinful cove]

water is pretty easy if you know the math i set up my water in the water level of course then i pipe it up to 1 floor above it along with my coal belts is a small service floor then i have another floor above that where my coal plants sit

[rain hollow]

Wasn't for me at first because I didn't realize until someone told me that mk 1 pipes only hold 300 cubic meters of liquid which I was over

[sinful cove]

then later i make it look pretty as a power building when i am not lazy to clean it up lol

[rain hollow]

I have since moved onto fuel generators instead

[fluid crow]

6.66 coal plants

[rain hollow]

They are MUCH easier to set up

[rain hollow]

No, I had 3

All were fully overclocked

[quasi warren]

i use 8 gens and 3 extractors

its easiest for me

[swift turret]

thats the standard

[fluid crow]

6.66 @ 100%

[rain hollow]

I have four fuel gens running on two seperate oil nodes working at 200% clock speed giving me 2,000 megawatts

[sinful cove]

yea for the first coal plants i am over at the rocky desert where there is 4 coal normal nodes so i combined them in 2's which makes each set 120 per min coal then i make 2 sets of 8 coal plants facing each other in roas so each set would have 1 row of 4 facing another row of 4 asnd this is x2 sets which gives me a total of 16 plants then i split each 4 has its own sets of pipes from each sets of my water extractors

then i expand as i able to get faster belts and miner speed of course

[rain hollow]

They should add a voice chat channel

Play and talk at same time, very useful

[sinful cove]

they should it would be cool for that

[rain hollow]

Could probably just start a call and send invites instead

[sinful cove]

yea I am always down to v chat with like minded folks 🙂

[rain hollow]

Wanna get on one?

[sinful cove]

sure send me an invite

[fickle locust]

Is there a way on the SCIM map to see machines directly below others?

[oak nymph]

Is one drone ok to transport 310 ore per min

[sullen gull]

There is a slider that allows for you to adjust the view level

On the left.

[fluid crow]

would have to be pretty far to not

[sullen gull]

Dur, right ... 🤦‍♂️

[mystic crag]

Built a train for all the Bauxite from left of the map to the very right of the map

[swift turret]

good job

[sullen gull]

To crater lakes...?

[swift turret]

now go up to down

[mystic crag]

To the ocean

So I have access to water

[sullen gull]

Ahh

[mystic crag]

Just started phase 3

I mean 4?

Since I have tier 7 and 8

To do now

[fickle locust]

Ah TY, though for me it's on the right

[sullen gull]

What's in the crater lakes is more than enough... For this one we just belted it all #screenshots message

[sullen gull]

Yeah, read a couple down after that, i corrected myself 😛 bit brain-dead from mulling around GTAV for a bit 😛

[fickle locust]

Haha appreciate the help, once I knew what I was looking for it was easy to tell!

Ah and that lets me realize I made a completely nonsensical setup for my sulfur delivery

[wispy osprey]

Reminder that the best sulfur node in the game is a pure node right beside a pure coal node

Or the pure node right beside an impure and normal node

[sullen gull]

It gets fun to utilize when you realize it's in meters and can use it to remove and adjust whole floor sections 😏

[fickle locust]

True except I'm not going compacted coal

[sullen gull]

There is a Pure, Normal, and Impure, along with two thermal gens, in the blue crater 🙂

[fickle locust]

I've run out of sulfur in the Blue Crater so I'm having to train in

[wispy osprey]

Yeah that's the one I brought up

[sullen gull]

lmg, nitro rocket fuel?

[wispy osprey]

That's the best singular source of just sulfur

[fickle locust]

Shockingly yes

[wispy osprey]

Use those nodes for sulfuric acid

[sullen gull]

Thought you were referring to the coal and sulfur node (both pure iirc) to the West-NW

[wispy osprey]

I mentioned both in my message

[sullen gull]

Personally not a fan due to the insane sulfur requirement. There is plenty of coal and sulfur at the blue crater for compacted coal 🤷‍♂️

[sullen gull]

Lol, completely missed that...

should really put on his glasses 😒

[tropic sinew]

I saw this message - "one of your power storage supplies is draining" for the first time over a year ago and I've never seen it again. I was just building factories and stuff a few days ago, and then I check my power grid and the power storages are at 75% and draining. yet i never got the message. why? it wouldv'e been really useful, and it's worse that I know it exists, yet I never got it?

[sullen gull]

That means your consumption is now greater that your production

[fickle locust]

True... but at this point I've got all the refineries/blenders/pipe-and-beltwork set up so I'm not really going to change the recipe

[sullen gull]

Yeah/no, you do you, was just lamenting 😏

[tropic sinew]

I know that. bro. i have 400+ hours in the game. but why did themessage not show when the storages were clearly draining? i had no idea. if i never checked, my entire world would've probably shut down.

[sullen gull]

Probably just missed the message? 🤷‍♂️

[wispy osprey]

Managing individual parts is super tedious lol

When you're making in bulk and have a TON of inputs to work with, moving them where they should go is mind numbing

Pipe and wire make stator but also make alt: rotor

Iron plates and wire make stitched plate

Wire makes cable...

Yeahhhh I need a break from this for awhile

[tropic sinew]

I wish.

I'm almost done making my 60,000 MW fuel power plant tho so yippe (900 oil/min in, enough fuel out that I need 96 fully overclocked fuel-powered generators)

[prime magnet]

I've gone through tons of hard drives, and I ended up maxing out the rewards before finding fertile uranium. is there something I'm missing? I wanted to get it before setting up nuclear power this run but I can't seem to roll it

[sullen gull]

You have Tier 8 completed?

[prime magnet]

I don't have it completed. I just remembered that the particle accelerators haven't been researched yet. I forgot that was something I needed

turns out I'm a tad slow

[sullen gull]

I'm sure we've all been there once or twice 😏

[crisp jetty]

100 mg edible+satisfactory got me feeling like tony stark

What recipe consume less sulfur and coal or just a more efficient compact coal recipe

[ebon scarab]

ok so, I am losing my mind as to why I can't cut down this tree with a chainsaw

oh I can't include screenshots :(

[fluid crow]

no bio fuel?

[ebon scarab]

it's in my inventory

Yup, bug for sure

[fluid crow]

can you explode it?

[ebon scarab]

no idea what that means

[whole ermine]

the tree

nobelisks

[fluid crow]

throw a nobilisk at it and blow it up

[ebon scarab]

I just started the game

only have a chainsaw

[fluid crow]

oh bummer

[ebon scarab]

single or area mode results in nothing, kinda crazy ngl

Think I might have a game breaking bug for a total delete world?

[fluid crow]

I'd try to get those pipe bombs asap

they're great for landscaping

[ebon scarab]

I just started the game, it's unfortunate that the chainsaw doesn't work at all in the game. Like have the devs done any thing about it?

Makes me converned if I should refund lol

[fluid crow]

I've not had any problems

[zenith pecan]

I did landscaping by spamming nuclear devices on more than one occasion.

[ebon scarab]

Yea, mine doesn't work at all

[sinful cove]

what u mean?

[ebon scarab]

I am clicking left click with the chainsaw out with biofuel in my inventory. Swapping between single and area mode. Nothing.

[fluid crow]

for the big jobs

[sinful cove]

i been playing for years and never had issues with the chain saw

[zenith pecan]

Like this one #screenshots message , my swamp coking plant that feeds my bauxite refinery & produces time crystals.

[fluid crow]

you hold down left click while aiming at the tree not moving?

[sinful cove]

you have to aim at a tree where it has a slight white outline

on the bottom left does it show how much biofuel you have while holding the chainsaw

[ebon scarab]

I can't include videos, but yes. I am 100% doing as you said

[zenith pecan]

Besides, what else would I use nuclear fire for if not clearing crap out of the way : #screenshots message

[ebon scarab]

I think my save file is corrupted

I cannot use the chainsaw as intended in the game

[sinful cove]

how much biofuel on the bottom left while holding the chainsaw it shows

[ebon scarab]

This was the problem. Not biomass which I was using, but solid boifuel.

Dude, thank you sorry for being dumb lol

[sinful cove]

you need biofuel only

[zenith pecan]

Chainsaw out of fuel?

[ebon scarab]

naw, I needed biofuel not biomass

on left side

[sinful cove]

yea chainsaw takes no other fuel but biofuel

[ebon scarab]

Now I can cause all sorts of bio destruction on behalf of Vorhees

wait till you get the boom sticks

[zenith pecan]

Wouldn't exactly faze my power grid 😄

[nova ridge]

haha just finihsed phase 5... i cant believe thats it.

finallly got ioonized fuel afterwards

[zenith pecan]

This place uses rocket fuel #screenshots message , as seen from a couple of biomes over.

[nova ridge]

hm

ionized is after rocket right

[zenith pecan]

Yes, you do need to plan for it though, which I didn't

Ionised uses synthetic power shards.

[nova ridge]

oh uses power shard

im trying to figure out what to do with all my dark matter residue

chasing a tail

[zenith pecan]

Crystalise it, I'm not sure if you can sink the crystals, I think you can. (alternate recipe) in the particle accelerator.

[jagged wing]

Hey, is anyone available to get on and help me with my storage system because I feel like I’m hitting a brick wall with all of my materials and I don’t really know a good way to output any of it

[nova ridge]

yeah need more diamonds

[fluid crow]

you really don't want to store a ton of stuff usually

[gloomy tusk]

where is the best spot for nuclear?

[nova ridge]

yeah better to loop it in with a priortiy

[nova ridge]

close to water

[gloomy tusk]

biome

[nova ridge]

i only found 1. so far so in the center lol

there was a pur water node nearby too

[gloomy tusk]

a pure water node?

[nova ridge]

i also use drones to bring stuff in

[gloomy tusk]

what is Pure water?

isnt all water the same

[nova ridge]

you can get water from a lake/water but theres also water you can get from using a resource well pressurizer

[gloomy tusk]

oh that

[nova ridge]

each pure node can output 600

[gloomy tusk]

water extractors 🔛🔝

[fluid crow]

Behold the Torrential Waters!

[nova ridge]

ya

[gloomy tusk]

oh my god

is that how you make power shards?

#screenshots

[nova ridge]

its how am

[gloomy tusk]

what the fuck is a dark matter crystal

[nova ridge]

you'll unlock it later

[gloomy tusk]

and excited photonic matter?

yeah im like actually fried

[feral jay]

Oh, "spring water" is maybe what you meant, that could be translated incorrectly rather easily

[gloomy tusk]

386 hours to reach nuclear and then ive got to worry about this

[nova ridge]

no its water and its pure quality

[feral jay]

Distilled?

[gloomy tusk]

how many hrs do you have in game

[gloomy tusk]

do you still play with your nephews?

[nova ridge]

played with a afriend. and he liked to craft the elevators stuff in parts rather than automating. so we cleared at 162 hrs

i like to automate everything so would have taken longer

[gloomy tusk]

no automation?

every resource should be automated

trust

[feral jay]

Yep, when we can

[gloomy tusk]

nice i need people my age to play with

[feral jay]

ohhh I see what you mean now, the water resoruce nodes, yes, they can be impure/normal/pure

[gloomy tusk]

only people i do p;lay with are both 20+

[tranquil saffron]

give item: 1000 plutonium fuel rods - best feature in the game

[nova ridge]

#screenshots message

this i smy current rocket fuel set up

each one has 3 power shards

[feral jay]

Meh, so what, it's the Internet, and nobody even knows I'm a cat

[gloomy tusk]

ive got a cat next to me

[nova ridge]

its crazy how much processing oil goes through to get to rocket fuel and how many power units you need to burn it all

still using my first oil node

[gloomy tusk]

for manifolds it is correct that i should use different speeds right

[nova ridge]

depdsn on your goals but yeah

[tranquil saffron]

i was noticing that too, but i like all the refineries and fuel tanks needed, its like a real oil refinery with all the stacks of pipes and stuff

[nova ridge]

my one pure oil node is enough to do so much power

[gloomy tusk]

i want to make a factory for nuclear power but its so hard\

ive got like all the resources i just hate things being so far away from each other

[nova ridge]

1 oil node makes about 37gw i guess

without somersloop

[gloomy tusk]

i have one making me 20GW normal fuel

[nova ridge]

just need to keep the ssame sytem and upgrade it to ionized lol

[tranquil saffron]

lol yeah, it's not easy, i set one up with cheats. was going to use drones but eventually gave into plopping resources outside factories... i got 2 giant factory buildings and pumps making the fuel rods for just 3 reactors 😂

[nova ridge]

it'll be 2 tw

nuclear is annoying cuz byproducts dont feed into itself

unless you want to use a sink

[gloomy tusk]

how do you use cheats?

mods?

[tranquil saffron]

when you start a world, advanced options i think. mods too

[gloomy tusk]

cheater

[weak cloud]

I am trying to understand why this Rubber/Plastic factory design is not requiring Empty Canister as an input? This looks like it's assuming Empty Canisters just exists out of nowhere? https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production?share=QaqrZAYbz1o2bd1WnTtn

Is it just assuming I manually feed the factory empty canisters and it runs indefinitely?

[nova ridge]

is there a mod page?

wondering what mods would be worth trying

[vital elk]

You can go to ficsit.app. That is the community mod page.

[tranquil saffron]

just get the mod loader, it has like 200

all built in, very convenient

i honestly don't know what i would do without them, for the industrial-scale builder ... some of them are absolutely necessary, like infinite zoop

[feral jay]

The mod loader is basically a frontend for ficsit.app

[leaden matrix]

As a console player

Oh what i would do for zoop larger than 10😭

[warm finch]

compacted coal the same thing as coal in terms of input?

[weak cloud]

I believe compacted coal can be used as fuel for the same entities regular coal can be used.

[warm finch]

sweet, including rocket fuel?

[weak cloud]

The recipes are different. You can't use compacted coal interchangably as recipe inputs.

Only as fuel.

[warm finch]

yeah that's what I was asking, bummer. thanks.

[feral jay]

LOL always check behind waterfalls

One of the oldest tricks in the book

[weak cloud]

What's there?

[feral jay]

Whatever the level designers hid beinhd them

Damn, just the copper, aluminium, and plastic prefab plants for my battery complex are already pulling >3GW

[quasi warren]

Infinite zoop has saved me.

[warm finch]

that's..... nothing lol

[feral jay]

Yeah, I just didn't expect it to be quite this big

I mean I was going big with a 330/min battery plant but still

[grim carbon]

how do you get infinite zoop?

[feral jay]

A mod

[grim carbon]

i haven't seen that one

[tranquil saffron]

takes some time to scroll through and look at the 200-300 something mods 😅

[gloomy tusk]

Sloop?

[feral jay]

https://ficsit.app/mod/InfiniteZoop

[tranquil saffron]

also the plants mod is amazing

[gloomy tusk]

I only play vanilla

[tranquil saffron]

has rocks and everything, rly adds so much

[gloomy tusk]

How do you add mods?

[nova ridge]

i guess time to boot up factorio soon hm

[gloomy tusk]

Mine mogul

[nova ridge]

i think i want to make teleporters first

gotta automate some stuff

[gloomy tusk]

How many mw do they use

[nova ridge]

i guess ill find out once i make them lol

[gloomy tusk]

Ok

[nova ridge]

first making a late dinner. cant automate that

[tranquil saffron]

soon. ah man teleporters are awesome though, what a lifesaver on getting around the map

probably a lot of MW

[oak nymph]

Would I be fine if I pipeline 800m but it's going down ?

[warm finch]

what's your max pipe limit?

[oak nymph]

Wdym I have mk1 and mk2 pipe

I'm tier 8

[warm finch]

mk1 pipe can move 300m3/min. mk2 pipe can move 600m3/min.

oh oh, you meant meters, my bad!

have you read the pipe manual?

[oak nymph]

Yeah but idk

[burnt pollen]

Hey folks, I was hoping to get some help understanding conveyor floor holes.

[warm finch]

sure what's up?

[burnt pollen]

I've build some conveyor lifts up to floor holes in a foundation above

But I don't seem to be able to continue them afterwards. Like, the items go up the lift until they get to the floor hole, but nothing I can do will actually get the items out on the next floor.

[warm finch]

are you adding lifts to each end of the floor hole?

[burnt pollen]

I tried to. It gave me a yellow warning and said it was overlapping another object's clearance. When I placed it anyway, items don't actually come out of the lift on the upper level.

[warm finch]

ok, console or pc?

[burnt pollen]

I can get it to work if the lift is going down through the floor, but not when it's going up :\ I'm on PC.

[warm finch]

ok, check to make sure you're adding the correct directionality of the lift

[burnt pollen]

I've tried all 4 directions, same result. The weird part is that it just worked (going upwards) for a new lift that I placed. I have no idea what's up with these ones.

[warm finch]

if you build a lift end that is an output onto a floor hole with an output on the bottom, it won't work, for example

[burnt pollen]

I made sure ;that the output direction was correct too. Sorry, I'd send a screenshot but I can't send images in this channel.

[gloomy tusk]

Press r to swap if they output on bottom or top

[burnt pollen]

I've already done that, yeah. Same result.

[gloomy tusk]

#screenshots

[warm finch]

ok you can post in #screenshots and ping me

[gloomy tusk]

Send ss

[humble plank]

@burnt pollen if youd like I can join into your world (if your on windows) and take a look ?

[warm finch]

@burnt pollen ok you don't run the lift through the floor hole

you snap it to the bottom of the floor hole

[burnt pollen]

That's what I did. I built the floor hold in the ceiling above me, and then built the conveyor lift off of that hole going down.

[warm finch]

the SS makes it look like you have the lift on the bottom going through the floor hole

ok so when you build the other end of the lift are you snapping it to the top of the hole?

[burnt pollen]

Yes.

[warm finch]

and it shows up as yellow when you try to do that?

[burnt pollen]

Correct.

[warm finch]

ok delete the bottom one and do it again, make sure the direction is correct before you snap it to the splitter/merger

OR do the top one first and make sure you have the correct direction selected, then build the bottom one

[burnt pollen]

Okay, so if I upgrade the conveyor lift in-place to a Mk2 one, then the issue goes away...I can attach a conveyor properly to the top.

[warm finch]

when you upgrade it, it corrects the direction of the lift

[burnt pollen]

I can even change it back to a Mk1 conveyor afterwards, and there is no issue; I can connect it properly now. I have n oidea what's happening.

[warm finch]

when you start with the floor hole itself, it doesn't automatically select the correct direction. if you build a lift on one side of the hole with the direction you want, then build the other side it will automatically select the corret direction for you

[burnt pollen]

I... tbh I have no idea what was happening. But I can now get the connection that I want, so I'll take it.

I tried having the output face all 4 directions before, and all 4 of them gave me the same issue.

But now it doesn't. Go figure.

[warm finch]

by direction I meant input or output, not rotation

[quasi warren]

...if it works. Don't touch it. Number one rule of any engineering

[warm finch]

except in satisfactory, gotta understand how the building/placement works

[quasi warren]

....fair enough

[burnt pollen]

Yeah, I also tried flipping the input/output mode; it didn't fix anything.

Thanks for your thoughts 🙂 One extra question- it seems like when I use a splitter + conveyor belt together, the hole of the splitter that is opposite the entrance side is always blocked off. Is there a way to change that? It has often been pretty inconvenient for how I wanted to build things.

[warm finch]

just a visual thing, called clipping. doesn't block the functionality

you CAN clip it too much that it doesn't make a connection

[gloomy tusk]

What do I need to put into my nuclear power plant

[feral jay]

water and fuel?

[gloomy tusk]

Water and supfuri. Acid?

[warm finch]

correct, have to use one of several types of nuclear fuel rods and water

[warm finch]

sulferic acid is not a nuclear product

[gloomy tusk]

What

I’m making encased uranium cells and sulfuric acid

Is that not what you need?

[cyan leaf]

Whej u unlock nuclear power u get a recipe to make i think Plutonium or uranium fuel

[feral jay]

I don't understand the question? A nuclear plant burns uranium/plutonium/ficsonium, and water, so that's what you put into it...

[gloomy tusk]

What the fuck am I making then

[jagged wing]

Hey, is anyone available to get on and help me with my storage system because I feel like I’m hitting a brick wall with all of my materials and I don’t really know a good way to output any of it

[feral jay]

I have no idea, I don't understand the question

[gloomy tusk]

I’ll send a screenshot

[feral jay]

ohhh missed that

[gloomy tusk]

What am I making then

What can this stuff be used for

[warm finch]

idk, what ARE you making? it tells you the output product

[gloomy tusk]

I’m making encased uranium cells

What do they do

[warm finch]

ok great. press N in game and search that product

[feral jay]

!wikisearch encased_uranium_cell

[raven axle]

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

[feral jay]

There'll be a section there on what you can make with it

[gloomy tusk]

Well nvm then I don’t care about that

How do I get power from this

[feral jay]

Basically, nuke nobelsisks and nuclear fuel rods

[warm finch]

you can't

[feral jay]

It's an ingredient in making uranium fuel rods

[gloomy tusk]

What can I use those for

[cyan leaf]

Thays why I never will deal with nuclear lol

[warm finch]

power from nuclear power plant

[feral jay]

Fueling nuclear plants for mucho power

[warm finch]

they are so much fun! and POWA!

[gloomy tusk]

So how do I make power just from uranium

[cyan leaf]

Lol it is but such a hassle 😭 imma stick to fuel till I get bored enough to do it

[warm finch]

you can't

[feral jay]

You don't. You turn uranium into encased cells first, then turn the encased cells into uranium fuel rods

[gloomy tusk]

Howwwe

[cyan leaf]

😭 legit look at their recipes then figure it iut urself

[feral jay]

With encased industrial beams and electromagnetic control rods, in a manufacturer. It's all on the wiki pages on encesed uranium cells and uranium fuel rods.

[gloomy tusk]

Oh hell no

[feral jay]

It's... a process

[gloomy tusk]

I’m so screwed

[feral jay]

Not everyone bothers with nuclear power

[cyan leaf]

Lol thats why imma not doing it

[gloomy tusk]

In 10 hours I have to go on holidays and was hoping to set this up

[feral jay]

Not gonna happen in 10 hours brotha

[gloomy tusk]

Yeah and I should be asleep

😔

[feral jay]

The last time I did a full scale nuke build was pre-1.0, but it took me two months IRL if I remember it right

I'd do it faster now that I've got some blueprint tricks undfer my belt tho

[gloomy tusk]

Well I’m going to play some mario with my dad

Bye bye

[feral jay]

LMAO

[gloomy tusk]

I’ll do this in a week when I return

[feral jay]

I love how the sheer scale of this game astounds people sometimes

It's not a game, so much as it's a hobby

[gloomy tusk]

I just have everything to do it it’s just tedious placing everything

[warm finch]

and they haven't reached phase 5 yet lol

[warm finch]

blueprints are your friend!

[gloomy tusk]

But this is still my favourite game oat and I’m not going to quit this easily

I’m beating the space elevator even if it takes all year

[warm finch]

in satisfactory you don't beat the space elevator. Space elevator beats you.

[gloomy tusk]

Nuclear pasta here I come

[warm finch]

heheh, how much power you got?

[hollow hemlock]

Only took me a week for nuclear this last time, wouldve been far faster if I decided to just slop it together. Spaghetti makes everything go faster

[gloomy tusk]

Max consumption 15gw and my capacity is only 50gw

[warm finch]

you got plenty. fiscit does not waste

[feral jay]

I tend to be very methodical and build out crazy power and control networks, so it takes me longer than most folks

[warm finch]

right now I'm trying to help my friend NOT spagheti lol

[vague jetty]

Is the Cyber wagon supposed to be trash

[warm finch]

y........e..s...

[hollow hemlock]

I wanted to integrate trucks into it, looks cool but so annoying to get working

[warm finch]

because it IS trash

[vague jetty]

It only turns right

[warm finch]

that's what you notice about it? lol

[feral jay]

No, it's the most powerful vehicle in the game! Who needs stupid left turns!

[vague jetty]

I'm just going to bury my friend's factory with them

[chilly hemlock]

Just got the game and holy heck the Australian subtitles are killing me ✌️

[warm finch]

WELCOME! and tell me more. what's so special about aussie subbies?

are they upside down or something?

[feral jay]

lol do they make some kind of inside Aussie jokes with them>

[chilly hemlock]

Nah, they are all in slang

Its absoloutely hilarious

[warm finch]

can you take a screenshot and post in #screenshots ?

[chilly hemlock]

Sure, give me a sec

[cyan leaf]

Fff I legit cant be ass dealing with making new factories for like nearly 2 months lol

[tranquil saffron]

no infinte zoop on metal beam?

[feral jay]

OK those Aussie subtitles are hilarious

[warm finch]

time to quit then lol

@chilly hemlock 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

dude that's hysterical you weren't joking

[cyan leaf]

😭 dam someone bought in the sassy princess

[fluid crow]

wot

[fiery gull]

What's happened since then? Did you find a fix?

[leaden matrix]

Im deadass THIS close to just importing copper sheets from across the map with how many I fucking need😭

[feral jay]

Trains are wonderful for this, once you've got the infrastructure built

[leaden matrix]

I know, but for one item like this I really dont want to set up another train station, especially when if I just had one pure node that wasnt already being used or across the map my issue would be fixed 😭

[feral jay]

I build all my train stations with five platforms, even if I only need one for what I'm doing at the moment. It leaves me room to use other platforms for other things later if I want to do womething like what you're talking about

They do get unweildly to plop though

Most of my trains have four empty cars and just one full one lol

[quasi warren]

...after 500 hours... I finally made a steel factory that works

Im proud of myself for this.

[cyan leaf]

Make ur train setups like in the middle of other factories or miners (legit tried to do that with gunpowder and steel production was to lazy to refine it to work)

[cyan leaf]

How much coal and iron per minute for it?

[warm finch]

do separate trains for seperate items. much easier to handle that way

[quasi warren]

270 coal and iron. Im using solid steel alternate recipe

[feral jay]

My trains are generally dedicated to a single cargo, yes, but the stations themselves sometimes handle multiple cargoes

[warm finch]

yeah I recommend separating those out as well

[feral jay]

I can go either way

[fickle locust]

The whole point of siting train stations is to put them near clusters of resources I want

I want to put all the resources on the train

[cyan leaf]

Is that the one with ingots not ore?

[feral jay]

yeah sure but for a centralized aluminium plant for example, I may want to initially ship out ingots, but then later device it's just easier to build some sheets I need there, so then the sheets would get their own platform if I do that

[valid timber]

How many stators do you really need later on? Is it worth setting up a separate plant for them or can do a factory producing a small amount of them and a small amount of motors and be fine resource wise

[feral jay]

You don't need a lot, I usually make them in the same plant I make my motors and just peel a few off

If I need them for something else they're made on site

[warm finch]

you will need A LOT of motors later. you can always make another site for that

[valid timber]

ok cool that was my plan but II just uh didnt end up with too few if I needed them

[feral jay]

I think I mostly use them for power storages, I build a lot of those

[valid timber]

yeah im planning to make a main motor factory then have stators just be an offshoot like striek said

[feral jay]

Stators are also pretty versatile in that there's a lot of options on how to make them. You can make them with nothing but iron, for example. So I peel a few off from my motor factory for "persoanl use", and if they're used in a factory other than that, they're made on site

[mystic crag]

My Bauxite train system finally works, after linking every mine to the conveyors to the train

[warm finch]

are you moving the raw ore itself?

[valid timber]

might run around and find some harddrives see if I can't find some alts

oh wait I already have iron wire unlocked

[feral jay]

I love iron wire, it eliminates copper from so many recipes

[fickle locust]

Yeah I agree with your approach, build and be ready to scale

[valid timber]

does mean I need a LOT of iron though haha

[quasi warren]

Ye

[fickle locust]

Why would you not move the raw bauxite ore

[cyan leaf]

I wanna use that but it makes my whole factory has to be changed which I dont wanna do 😭

[quasi warren]

I planned for it.

So i made the design that fits it.

[warm finch]

yeah recommend making alum ingots in 1 spot, then ship out from there until you scale up and can make sheets, casing, etc

[cyan leaf]

😭 ewww making plans and not just doing it free handed lol

[quasi warren]

I atleast planned to use the recipe. The rest i just kinda eyeballed and adjusted based on how much was made

[cyan leaf]

The only thing I ever plan is how much of a certain node can produce to ingots the rest free ball it
