satisfactory

[reef basin]

straight conveyors are possible without global grid

[dense violet]

here, have a video on merging foundations https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uX_2i8T3Dbw

[void cliff]

They can kind of align with the grid if you put platforms over each node before making the miner

[reef basin]

foundations on nodes 🤢

[coarse kindle]

This is what I've been doing anyway

[dense violet]

or make them perfectly align to whatever grid you want with this @coarse kindle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSNcRGPv0o0

[coarse kindle]

Why would I want to see my machines touching grass?

[valid timber]

i used to be a foundations on nodes guy but it was annoying that the world grid didn't align so I stopped

[dense violet]

anyway, between the zero benefits of being on the world grid, and the 2 videos that give you all the (Ifake) benefits without any of the restrictions of it - it's a trap

[reef basin]

why would I want to see my miner drilling into a foundation

[coarse kindle]

Okay okay

Totalxclipse I've seen a few of his videos and love them so far

[reef basin]

(I mean ofc you can do whatever you want, I'm just giving you my opinion and my recommendation)

[coarse kindle]

They're really good

I'll watch these and have a think

[dense violet]

totalxclipse does some good design vids. Good basic tips you can use in different ways

[void cliff]

His voice is silky smooth

Bedtime stories with totalXclipse

[reef basin]

some of his videos are kinda weird or misleading, but that's true for practically every youtuber anyway, so 🤷

[dense violet]

oh yeah? do you remember which ones? I haven't thoroughly gone through them or anything

[reef basin]

"best alternate recipes"

😄

[dense violet]

didn't know he'd done one of those xD

[reef basin]

I remember watching it but tbh not sure how old it was

[unkempt blade]

how else are you going to get that internet money?!?

[dense violet]

just stick 100% efficient on all the thumbnails

[mortal ginkgo]

Steel Screws is the best alternate recipe for screws.

Molded Alt Recipes are best for getting Steel.

I mean, list goes on.

[reef basin]

oh yeah that annoys me to no end
every second video on youtube for SF is "100% efficient X"... and nobody ever says what do they mean by it

[unkempt blade]

cast screws is the second best screw recipe but the best alt recipe in general

[mortal ginkgo]

I mean, you can disagree, doesn't mean it is wrong kek.

[reef basin]

you can say it but that doesn't make it right 🙂

[mortal ginkgo]

Well correct. It is also a great recipe to lure people to discovert alt recipes. Because it is an obvious upgrade for early game.

[dense violet]

I'm glad people reinforce the reasons they are blocked

[reef basin]

given that most resource efficient screw chain uses the base recipe 🤔

[mortal ginkgo]

Sure buddy, lets go with that.

[unkempt blade]

Yeah but what if he says it on youtube? That makes it an information authority

[mortal ginkgo]

not the best belt space, not the best for using with Heavy Modular Frame since you need to bring iron bar around.

[nocturne cairn]

Cast screws are objectively better than default recipe early game though

[unkempt blade]

yeah that's why they're the best alt recipe

[dense violet]

you get better resource efficiency with Base screw and Steel rod.

[mortal ginkgo]

Trust me, some folks just don't accept it and rather die on it.

[reef basin]

it's not objective if you have to define limitations for it 🙂

[dense violet]

so not 'objectively'

[void cliff]

Aluminum beams to steel screws 💗

[dense violet]

that's a funny and dumb combo 😛

[mortal ginkgo]

ok buddy, you go jail, rather fast.

[unkempt blade]

it's subjectively the best, objectively

[reef basin]

I'm talking about "resource efficiency" tho, not space or anything like that

[mortal ginkgo]

and I stated it got more problems than that.

[scenic mirage]

efficient based on what? using an extra machine?

[mortal ginkgo]

hold up, this is actually a good combo

[dense violet]

again, as mentioned, if you use Steel Rods instead of Iron rods, it's very resource efficient

[scenic mirage]

iron pipe is actually too goated tho

[mortal ginkgo]

okaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay you go jail

[void cliff]

Same with steel plates, I love all these alts

[unkempt blade]

You can do aluminum rods + vanilla screws too. Aluminum screws are awesome

[nocturne cairn]

Well apparently limitations defined by the game itself are not objective enough

[reef basin]

wdym?

[scenic mirage]

wdymmmm

[dense violet]

don't bother, not worth it

[reef basin]

resource efficient

[mortal ginkgo]

Gulag is MEANT for you brotherman!

[nocturne cairn]

There are exactly 2 ways to get screws in 1st phase with one of them being strictly better, but apparently "being in first phase" is somehow a subjective limitation

[void cliff]

Using extra machines to boost production / efficiency is what this game is all about!

[mortal ginkgo]

worrying about resource efficiency in a game with unlimited resources.

[reef basin]

I wouldn't consider "have to get a HDD to get the recipe" to be strictly better

[scenic mirage]

are you gonna explain whats wrong w it

[mortal ginkgo]

Cast Screws is guaranteed drop at first recipe + retry

[reef basin]

not umlimited/min tho, hence why resource efficiency is a thing

[reef basin]

is not, afaik there's 6 recipes in T1+2

[unkempt blade]

no sorry it's actually about funmaxing not getting sweaty about numbers

[reef basin]

cast screws, iron wire, bolted frame, bolted plate, copper rotor, stitched plate - 6 recipes

[mortal ginkgo]

You are always trying to dodge it but it is always failing. We did this dance many times before old man.

Even the biggest ultra late game items you can make such as 60/min BWD doesn't ask for all iron.

Making fisco rods etc on top of that, using Iron Pipe recipe STILL DOES NOT let you reach the iron ore limit.

And by that point, the player's CPU is failing with 25+ FPS performance.

Stop it. Get some help.

[unkempt blade]

Each one bester than the one before it. Except for cast screws which is the bestest

[mortal ginkgo]

Tap some impure limestone nodes.

[reef basin]

you're the one that is failing for not being able to understand that "local availability" is a thing

[sweet light]

Sacrifice limestone to water gods and turn it to concrete in a unholy ceremony!

[mortal ginkgo]

Ah sorry, forgot this is a turret defense game too where Trains etc can get attacked so one can definitely not go around grab stuff.

[dense violet]

I'm baffled you haven't blocked someone that just wastes your time like that.

I've never seen them say anything that wouldn't have saved precious seconds of my life

[mortal ginkgo]

No, Wet Concrete is not an amazing recipe compared to the original because reasons.

[nocturne cairn]

You should really close discord if you feel your time being wasted

[dense violet]

just close the person. Why would I not keep using it while not being wasted?

[nocturne cairn]

Discord is not a good way to spend time at all

[mortal ginkgo]

Look at the elitist guy talking. Kek.

[nocturne cairn]

Better save it while you can

[surreal rose]

made first iron factory and now it produces too much iron

[dense violet]

take your advice first and I might consider it

[reef basin]

I forgot that I have to use trains instead of using resources I have nearby with a different recipe which is 100 times easier than building a train

[leaden turret]

s/Discord/The Internet/

[unkempt blade]

Everyone seems so angry today! All of you go build a factory cart skatepark and come back when you've calmed down!

[scenic mirage]

i mean mine wouldnt, since i have a 16 core 32 thread cpu running at 3.4Ghz

[mortal ginkgo]

You are telling that to someone who can "waste" their time trying to tell the entire community how pipe system is fine in this game.

I think it is ultra stupid and I got no mk2 pipe issues. And here these folks saying "lol l2p issue bro".

Trust me, that guy is good at wasting time.

[mortal ginkgo]

If building a train line in 1.1 patch with blueprints are hard for a veteran, I guess we are playing a different game.

[unkempt blade]

we need mk3 pipes, that would fix everything

[leaden turret]

solve anger by poopin.

can't poop healthy without being calm, feel too ridiculous after poopin to be angry.

[mortal ginkgo]

we need ur mom

WOWOWOWOWOWOW SHOTS BEING MADE OMG

[dense violet]

no, we need belts that can back flow

[reef basin]

if you're basing your "objective" statements purely on your experience, you've already failed at "objective"

[mortal ginkgo]

Sorry. I go gulag now. 😔

[unkempt blade]

we could do some sort of log flume and let stuff bounce backwards

[void cliff]

Getting sweaty about numbers is just what I do!

[dense violet]

I could dig that

[pastel dawn]

The day of the world is:

Sluff.

[mortal ginkgo]

Farming Mod in this game is "Slavery of Plants", change my mind.

[reef basin]

honestly it'd be fun to see mk3 pipes and the influx of people here with "WhY dIdn'T Mk3 PiPeS fIxEd mY StUfF"

[pastel dawn]

Best I can do is mk1 trucks

[mortal ginkgo]

trucks have versions?!

[dense violet]

the tears would be delicious

[void cliff]

Vegans like you should never drive a car or order food delivered!

[leaden turret]

-# [insert another poop joke re: log flume]

[mortal ginkgo]

But I like eating meat brotherman 😭

[sweet light]

mk2 trains

[pastel dawn]

Yes. Mine's made out of ginger bread.

[mortal ginkgo]

This might be cool tbh.

[sweet light]

mk1 steam version mk2 electric

[unkempt blade]

they could at least meet us half way and make a gold version of all vehicles so they can match my factory carts

[dense violet]

there's prob a mod for that 😛

[pastel dawn]

mk3 floating vehicles with jet engines for wheels

[coral marsh]

Hey that'd be cool, 8 efficient cars instead of 4

[mortal ginkgo]

bro cant we have factory cart stations... I want to send fuel around with carts 🙁

[coral marsh]

Just add the delorean into the game lol

[void cliff]

A factory cart station that’s ~1/2 the size of a container sounds awesome. Fit on a single foundation.

[leaden turret]

wouldn't that just be a tractor with 1 inventory slot?

[mortal ginkgo]

You are hired, get to work.

[void cliff]

Yeah but they look f-ing cool and can even operate factory elevators

[pastel dawn]

Best I can do is a cyber wagon with flintstone wheels.

[void cliff]

Square or oval wheels, lol

[unkempt blade]

each wheel is a different shape for maximum fun

[surreal rose]

have yall ever seen a Space Giraffe-Tick-Penguin-Whale Thing ride a train without paying for a ticket? now i did

[coral marsh]

Ewww, how dare you compare the futuristic and iconic delorean to that piece of metal garbage

[void cliff]

He has business to attend to

[surreal rose]

the only thing they do is block my cannons

[ornate saffron]

They have some similarities

[void cliff]

Not sure if you are serious but Deloreans are terrible cars and that’s WHY it was in the movie, lol

[pastel dawn]

Sorry

[coral marsh]

Say what you will ill take a Dmc-12 over a cyber truck any day

If anyone gifts me any tesla vehicle, im stripping it for the motor and the rest is scrap

[void cliff]

It has collectible value, so 100%

Drives like a cyber wagon but is still iconic

[coral marsh]

Controversy or not, in my honest, personal opinion, the Dmc-12 is a far better car than that hideous, grotesque, vile and horrendous cyber truck

[void cliff]

I went to elementary school in the Seattle suburbs and I still remember that one parent would always pick his kid up in a delorean

[pastel dawn]

The thing is a death machine.

[coral marsh]

The cyber truck? Yea they always burst into flames or have a technological malfunction at some point

[ornate saffron]

wonder if he washed it with gasoline?>

[pastel dawn]

Multiple incidents of people being in crashes and burning alive cause they couldn't get out

Cars made of sheet metal razors in a crash

Panels glued on

[ornate saffron]

banned in the EU

[coarse kindle]

Does anyone know if it's possible to switch my save files between 2 PS5'S? I'm logged into both with 1 account

[dense violet]

did it actually get banned? I heard it was just being reviewd last

[coral marsh]

I'd rather a car with a heavy clutch and cant get upto 100kph in a decent manner than a vehicle that is literally glued together

[ornate saffron]

doesnt PS5 have cloud saving and backup like the ps4?

[coarse kindle]

Ohhh yeah

That should work

[void cliff]

Glue has its place in maintenance, you’ve probably flown in an airplane with shit just glued onto it

[ornate saffron]

article in #off-topic-tech where this convo should be going ^_^

[pastel dawn]

Sure but panels generally don't fly off while flying the airplane.

[dense violet]

eh, 2 lines about it isn't an issue

[ornate saffron]

guess mnyt link was not okay lo. its gone

[dense violet]

ah well xD

[pastel dawn]

Cyber Wagon is in game. It's topic adjacent.

[ornate saffron]

im just killing time until my laser eye surgery.... Itll be fine but im a little anxious. mostly becauses i dont like touching eyes

@zenith pecan what all do you have on your power grid?

[ornate saffron]

lol thats a loaded question

[junior arch]

Wait is it modded?

[lunar python]

What isnt in the power grid

[ornate saffron]

Not sure if he uses mods but i know he changed the object limit so he can build more.

He told me how to do the same lol

[junior arch]

Ahhh see that wouldn't work for me on console lol.

[ornate saffron]

not likely

[junior arch]

Alrighty then nevermind Zula lol

[ornate saffron]

he is probably refining every Doggo on the map

[void cliff]

how do I herd doggos? I want to play this game like Slime Rancher.

[ornate saffron]

there is pen instrcutions on thje wiki

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Lizard_Doggo

[ornate saffron]

there is a doggo mod too for more interactions. and such

ive done no modding yet, But i did join the modding discord.

[frosty mirage]

Can packaged fuel be used for jetpack?

[mortal ginkgo]

yes, just note that Packaged Biofuel is way better as duration.

[void cliff]

I do a bit of cross-progression-play, using two different PC's and a dedicated server and the steam deck, so it's hard to even want to use mods, but I'm sure I'll get SatisfactoryVR up and running at some point.

[ornate saffron]

yes, all packaged fuels can be used in the jet pack

[frosty mirage]

Is there any procedure to use it or do i just remove the solid biofuel from inventory?

[void cliff]

you select which jetpack fuel to use by the little gear icon on the jetpack

[ornate saffron]

you can do that you can also select a prefered fuel source on the jetpack itself

[pastel dawn]

Not really. Make good decoration for some builds. Biomass can be used for jump landing pads

[frosty mirage]

How? 😭

[pastel dawn]

CLick the little gear

[frosty mirage]

Im on ps5 and i dont understand how

[ornate saffron]

muzzy explains in the message after mine

[ornate saffron]

<----pc

[void cliff]

it's probably the triangle button on PS5. It's Y on xbox

more of a Bison guy, myself

[frosty mirage]

Yeeep figured it out

[ornate saffron]

you can place a ton of power poles in the rough shape of the Hubs spaning area then place the hub over top so they clip into the spawn spot. This will soft lock your game on death, making a True hardcore mode

[frosty mirage]

Thanks

[frigid knoll]

satisfactory!

[ornate saffron]

Alright. Im off to get shot in the face with lasers. Check you all in a few days

[real shale]

Another day, another project

[void cliff]

you're running permadeath saves? You have piqued my interest.

[mortal ginkgo]

Total madman!

[void cliff]

wildlife set to AGGRESSIVE, right?

permadeath saves are like the epitome of "I like restarting the game" syndrome. Permadeath Fallout 4 took me to like 4,000 hours play time.

[real shale]

Time to deforest a massive chunk of the map again

[ornate saffron]

what happens is when you spawn the poles make you clip through the floor and you fall into the void soft locking your save .

[void cliff]

you just pretend your pioneer had a heart attack for copium

I think permadeath in this game would just force me to never leave my base and use exploits against spiders and rad-hoggs

[digital holly]

Can anyone help me understand fluids? My fuel power plant has been working fine for ages and suddenly it stopped working properly. Flow rate of the crude oil went right down, a valve seems to have fixed it but how comes after so long this problem arises?

[reef basin]

valves generally just hide problems and often create new ones. Not recommended

[digital holly]

This may have been learnt fast… lol 😂

[vapid hazel]

hello, where may i report a bug

[surreal rose]

could anyone help me with math? i'm producing 1755 steel ingots but i can't do math with screws and iron rods(i need at least 1 manufacturer with heavy modular frames)

[reef basin]

start from end product, work backwards

[frosty mirage]

I unlocked turbofuel, should I replace my fuel power plant or just build another one with turbofuel?

My instinct says to go with building another power plant with turbofuel

[reef basin]

I wouldn't do TF power ever, but that's just my opinion

but generally I'd recommend to build new and not touch old

[frosty mirage]

Why? Whats your argument for not doing TF power?

[reef basin]

don't want to bother with getting coal and sulfur to get extra power when I can just use more oil and go for nuclear

[frosty mirage]

I see

[unkempt blade]

I think you should do TF because sulfur is a great excuse to start using trains

[mortal ginkgo]

Turbo Fuel asks too much compact power to justify its usefulness. It is still good if you want to go for it but at phase 3 you can get enough power with just Fuel.

Next Phase you get Rocket Fuel, which asks for Turbo Fuel but you can make tons with little Turbo Fuel and is a massive power boost.

Conclusion: use Turbo Fuel as a step in next phase, and yolo phase 3 with fuel.

[reef basin]

my point extends to any TF-based fuel 🤷

[frosty mirage]

Solid points

I might go for TF power plant just because i enjoy building power plants lol

[mortal ginkgo]

Go for it. It is still not a loose as you will simply use TF to make RF later.

[frosty mirage]

If i dont do another power plant, i gotta do a factory and im tired of building factories

Yup and you check absolutely everything possible and deem yourself stumped only to realise it’s a simple solution lol

[versed raptor]

welcome to satisfactory 😭

[lone solar]

Guys will I need smart platings past phase 2

[versed raptor]

im pretty sure i havent played the game in a month but i think you need it to craft more complex things down the line

[ornate saffron]

Yes, you will need a total of 4300 to complete all phases

[lone solar]

Damned be the smart platings

[versed raptor]

fr

[ornate saffron]

I made a chart in Google sheets to remind me lol.

[ornate saffron]

Its the cubes you need to worry about

[versed raptor]

dont give me flashbacks bro i got ptsd over ts 😭

[lone solar]

The what.

[versed raptor]

C u b e

[ornate saffron]

Modular frames is the first step of a 5 step process.

The end of which is a cube

[lone solar]

Damned be the Cubes too then

[open canyon]

Yo is this game worth 40$ on console

[lone solar]

10 Smart Platings per minute should last me long enough maybe

[ornate saffron]

Asking here maybe biased.

But I think so

[versed raptor]

just wait till bro gets excited over the nuclear powerplants and realizes what it takes to craft the fuel for it 💀

[ornate saffron]

Honestly when you need more you'll make a decision. Either build more elsewhere or transport them to where you need

[open canyon]

Do i have to worry about radiation and climate change or can I disable that

If so then its a buy

[fluid crow]

climate change?

[open canyon]

Heard it has climate change

[versed raptor]

you do have to worry about radiation until you get the ion whatever filters

[versed raptor]

no

[open canyon]

Can I disable radiation or nah?

[real shale]

okay i take back evereything i said about the red forest and its amount of stingers, i hate the swamp more

[versed raptor]

i dont even know

it doesnt matter tho cuz radiation is a late game thing

and it only comes from uranium, and all the shi crafted from it but youll be fine

i think there is also something else radioactive but i cant remember what it is

radation also isnt too terrible

[versed raptor]

same

[quartz yoke]

Swamp is my preferred place to start 😄

[versed raptor]

😭

[ornate saffron]

No climate issues. Radiation is in the game but you can avoid using nuclear and the glowing rocks and gas spewing wildlife are easy to see

[ornate saffron]

You cannot turn off radiation and it is easily avoidable in the wild. Halfway through the game you get a hazmat suit and the ability to craft filters for it eliminating radiation

[unkempt blade]

yeah it's like Civilization 6 where if you burn too many fossil fuels the world will slowly flood

[gloomy elk]

What doed it take to get the initiate role here

Ngl think a scam bot mightve joined the server

[ornate saffron]

I havent played that one. It could be $100+ price tag.

Nuclear fallout was a pain in civ3

[unkempt blade]

If you like those kind of games I'd wait on one of the sales and you should be able to get it for like 90% off or something now. 6 is a good game

7 has sounded like much more of a train wreck so far

Agreed this is gonna be biased but I'll answer more about how it plays on console. It's pretty great; the port was excellent and I prefer to play on console (lack of mods unfortunately). The only issue I've run into is fine tuned movements are tough on controller but it hasn't been an issue for me too often. Only crashed once in the 30 hours on my save and the auto saving made it a non issue

restart your server. my computer with 64 gb RAM and a 4070 kept crashing over and over and gave a memory related error.

[unkempt blade]

first blueprint designer unlocks tier 4 and that's probably what you'd be looking to use for modules

[bitter crow]

yeah im aware, its just that last time i played this game i poured 180+ hours into a megafactory at stage 2...

[unkempt blade]

nothing wrong with that (besides maybe localized lag eventually)

[versed cosmos]

just make a 10 modilar frame factory from 240 iron ore per minute

numbers work out nice like that

[ornate saffron]

Its all a matter of perspective. Your "megafactory" is another person's satellite factory. Just make sure you are having fun.

[versed cosmos]

grab the cast screw alt too and overclock them to make 60/min. that's 1 constructor to 1 assembler so you can do those on a mk1 belt

[unkempt blade]

But anyway, if you're not talking about blueprints as modules then we might need more of an explanation for what your goal is

[pastel dawn]

Are you near fog?

[bitter crow]

I want to make an effective and functional modular factory that i can use to proceed further into the game

And i do not want it to turn into a logistical nightmare

[pastel dawn]

I made the coolest elevator to "secret bunker" in the big hole near center of map and it kept doing that when I was blueprinting

[ornate saffron]

Im bo stranger to smoking a bowl on my day off then spending (what seems like 20minutes) building a factory. In fact it was 20 hours and the sun is coming up

[unkempt blade]

you just need a plan for your blueprint modules then 🙂

[bitter crow]

very well then

[pastel dawn]

Hippy

[ornate saffron]

Have you completed the game before?

[bitter crow]

Short answer: No, only to stage 3

[toxic lichen]

when do you unlock that like
smooth concrete? instead of the foundations

[unkempt blade]

Usually for me it's finding myself doing the same thing repeatedly and then I pause and go make a BP that does it for me. Like this is a module for a portion of my aluminum factory. I'd drop X modules of this depending on how much I want to produce #screenshots message

[ornate saffron]

Okay, then my suggestion is to build for what you need now and don't upgrade later. Just build new. For example when you unlock mk3 miners you can replace the miner at your old factory but shunt the additional ore to a new factory and leave the old one alone. This way you are no trying to squeeze in more machines

[toxic lichen]

theres mk3 miners e'-e'

[ornate saffron]

Fully overclocked on a pure nodes gives you ||1200|| a minute

[toxic lichen]

YOOOO

[bitter crow]

oh my god

[unkempt blade]

I'd upvote this. I know some people don't like it when we call the story/progression part of the game "the tutorial" but that's really what it is the first time through and you'll have a much better feel for the game and how to do fancier stuff by the time you're through it

[toxic lichen]

anyone know when i get smooth concrete to build with ;-;

[bitter crow]

ill 100% use this

[bitter crow]

after stage 2

[ornate saffron]

One you unlock the awesome shop you can purchase it

[toxic lichen]

:(

oh e'-e'

wait
like
i can buy the blueprint to build with?

[ornate saffron]

Not far in at all.

Essentially

[toxic lichen]

i thought it was like
maybe tier 5/6 or some shit

ive been wasting my potential ;-;

[bitter crow]

#screenshots

[ornate saffron]

Most materials are purchased real early. I like cement foundations as they don't use plates to build.... only cement

The frames pack gives you glass foundations too

[toxic lichen]

Oooooooooo

[ornate saffron]

Its nice to see the belts run under you feet when using logistic floors

[toxic lichen]

I really want to get into that ;-;

[void cliff]

I prefer to unlock as much as possible in every single phase before going to the next one, and I get bored after phase 5 is complete

[quartz yoke]

cement foundations is pretty much my first purchase every time

follow by the walkways that give me stairs

[toxic lichen]

Hmmmmmm
I shouldn’t have left the awesome shop out ;-;

[ornate saffron]

I like how many of the tall machines come with point for the walkways

[quartz yoke]

I typically build a staircase into the sky and leap off with a parachute

best way early game to get HDD and sloops

[ornate saffron]

Awesome shop feels like its optional but it really isn't. There is so many core items. Like lift floor holes

[toxic lichen]

You mean like
The conveyor lifts?

[void cliff]

Factory carts

[toxic lichen]

Huh

[void cliff]

The coffee cup

[ornate saffron]

Ya, you can use them to connect floors

[toxic lichen]

Oooo

[undone citrus]

Too much

[toxic lichen]

Is my factory still gonna be a mess
Yes
But
It’ll be a beautiful mess

[unkempt blade]

just gotta do a little better each time and it'll be perfect before long 😆

[void cliff]

Can you use a factory cart without a truck station, like maybe he can just zoom around for fun on his own

[unkempt blade]

you can and you can even record a route for them to run without any stations (like if you want to see them driving around the skatepark all day)

[ornate saffron]

My first save is hideous. When I loaded it up after update 8 I was ashamed of it

[ornate saffron]

Fun fact factory carts don't need fuel. But will take a stack of fuel from a truck station. The fuel just......disappears

[toxic lichen]

How do I place a conveyor lift

The other way
So like
Going
Up to down ;-;

Or do I need a conveyor at the bottom to do so ;-;

Oh nvm

[unkempt blade]

your messages are always so tall

[toxic lichen]

It’s my
Way of typing mb ;-;

[ornate saffron]

Nah, its all good.

I do this sometimes myself.

[toxic lichen]

Yipee :>

[unkempt blade]

I was thinking there might be a script replacing all punctuation with a line break or something like that

[autumn wing]

Arent all machines tall for us lalas?

[mortal ginkgo]

short boi coping here LOL GOT'EM

[quasi warren]

All machines should have a point for walkways. Including miners

[ornate saffron]

Yes they are.

As you noticed my picture is my ffxiv character lol

[autumn wing]

Sadly cant post a pic of mine here. Lalas unite \o/

[ornate saffron]

Im 6'6" irl lol

[mortal ginkgo]

bro is tall

[autumn wing]

Shees you a roe RL

[quasi warren]

Dang, im 6'1"

[ornate saffron]

Im a Canadian who loves to choke wood and drink maple syrup with my coffee

[mortal ginkgo]

I am 5.75, can you guys stop being tall?!

[quasi warren]

... nah

[ornate saffron]

Gravity will get me. Do to worry

[autumn wing]

175 cm and happy with it

[quasi warren]

Best part is im still growing. ✌️

Im expected to be 6'6"

[toxic lichen]

HOLY SHIT

All this stuff
For conveyors to look
So cool in a factory
Awesome shop is Goated

[ornate saffron]

Im not. Im over the 40 hump. Ill start shrinking soon

[quasi warren]

I cant even drink yet TwT

[autumn wing]

Its so funny, my buddy is about your height and build like a canadian bear but plays min height fem lala xD

[ornate saffron]

Same lol

[ornate saffron]

16 in Quebec

[toxic lichen]

Whats uh
The diff between

Standard points and DNA points

[bitter crow]

thats crazy

[lunar python]

https://tenor.com/view/61-41-67-61-new-meme-61-meme-gif-4909211002993893210

[autumn wing]

DNA points are from animal parts and dont scale as fast = easier to get tickets with

[lunar python]

Oh wait this is the ither server

[toxic lichen]

Ahhhh

[lunar python]

Is it normal to have like 20 constantly respawning hogs in crater lakes?

[mortal ginkgo]

everything always respawns unless there is nicely and well powdered buildings around.

[autumn wing]

Or nukes

[mortal ginkgo]

Big dog woke up today and the first thing in his mind was VIOLENCE

[bitter crow]

should i do coal power first or steel production

[lunar python]

Im not exaggerating, there are at least 20 hogs that respawn almost immediately after i kill them

[mortal ginkgo]

always coal first, steel etc will ask chungus power AND you need to automate the power.

[autumn wing]

Always prio power

[ornate saffron]

generally people want to stop feed biomass into generators and do coal power as fast as possible

[mortal ginkgo]

playing in a server? modded save? someone else's save? etc

[bitter crow]

thought so, js wanted to confirm

[bitter crow]

i enjoy destroying ecosystems

[ornate saffron]

I do a lot of self imposed challenges. One playthrough part of it was skipping coal so a set uo power towers and ziplined to every geo thermal node

[bitter crow]

oh thats cooL!

[toxic lichen]

any particular reason the sink would stop accepting
stuff?

oh it didnt like me mixing dna stuff with normal stuff ;-;

[mortal ginkgo]

its interesting... It shouldn't do that.

are you sure it wasnt another thing? like animal remains?

[toxic lichen]

e'-e'
Soooo
about that e'-e'

i thought it was animal remains going in
not
the stuff you make from it

im smart
i promise :(

so is it
the actual dna
or the alien protein

[mortal ginkgo]

dna

[autumn wing]

Sloop the machine that makes proteins and sloop the machine that makes dna capsules, thank me later

[mortal ginkgo]

No, thank him NOW!

[toxic lichen]

i dont have sloop unlocked
Was working on the uh
SAM stuff when i got distracted ;-;

[mortal ginkgo]

T_T

[toxic lichen]

but im gonna sloop whatever turns my slugs into overclock stuff

[junior arch]

Too bad we cant make sloops

[toxic lichen]

isnt there look
100-200 sloops

[reef basin]

don't make that much then 😛

[junior arch]

Yea but if you wanted to sloop everything or every advance assembly machine I dont think its enough

[toxic lichen]

ah
Fair enough

[junior arch]

I mean if im in advance settings mode i can get as many as I want lol, but on normal not so much

[reef basin]

would invalidate like the whole game

[ornate saffron]

My rule of thumb for the sink is everything thing going in must be processed somehow and nothing that emits radiation unless its a rod.

The more complex the processing the more points it give

[junior arch]

Invalidate is a strong word. I prefer god-tier creativity

[reef basin]

which... you can already do with AGS

[toxic lichen]

too bad we cant sloop miners ;-;

[ornate saffron]

They struck a good balance with sloops you are either using them for power generation or increased part production at the cost of power

[junior arch]

Yea. But i mean you can make shards in normal settings. Why not sloops. Now if we could make sloops and mercer spheres then id say it would invalidate the game

[toxic lichen]

ahhh

so pick either more make ;-;
but now make more power

or more power
To support more make

i understand it now

[reef basin]

because shards don't allow you to create power from nothing and materials frm nothing

[reef basin]

and for spheres, we have enough for practically any reasoanble usage

[toxic lichen]

hmmmmm
50 coupons
should be enough for now

[reef basin]

so arguably automatable spheres would break the game way less

[toxic lichen]

lemme stop getting side tracked and actually unlock slooping

[ornate saffron]

They go so quick. But once you move past phase two a lot of excess can be sinked using smart splitters. (Unlocked in the mam. Don't sleep in the mam)

[bitter crow]

alright folks, question time! I have two potential places to build either an coal power plant or a steel factory, where should this be? One place has a really weak coal to iron ratio (2x normal 1x impure to 4x pure) and the other has 4x normal coal and 1x pure iron, which one of these places is the best for the two buildings?

[toxic lichen]

me no sleep
me very diligent mam ;-;

[ornate saffron]

Did you start in the grassy plains?

[toxic lichen]

yes and yes

[bitter crow]

nope, the medium difficulty thing

[ornate saffron]

Lol that tells me nothing. But in short you want to build coal power near water

[reef basin]

you can build both in both locations you know

[bitter crow]

hmm yeah i guess so, and ill prob move my coal plant either way so it doesnt matter alot

[ornate saffron]

I havent looked at the game via difficulties since update 7 the map is all the same just diffrent start points

[reef basin]

why move?

[bitter crow]

while the places im considering right now are good, there are way better ones, just too far away for me right now

[reef basin]

also nothing in the game tells you how difficult a starting point is (since they aren't really scaled by difficulty anyway)

[reef basin]

that doesn't mean you have to move. You can just build new and keep old

[bitter crow]

sigh, youre rught lol

[ornate saffron]

Worst case you completely abandon old and allow it to sink

[toxic lichen]

whoever told me about the slide jump tech
im gonna name my first born after you ;-;

[ornate saffron]

Fun fact ziplines preserve momentum so you can slide jump attatch to become fast as fuck

[toxic lichen]

sounds very cash money e'-e'

wait

are we fr
i can only make the SAM flucuators in the crafting bench rn ;-;

what is this nonsense ;-;

[ornate saffron]

Until you unlock the machine. Yes

[toxic lichen]

:(

[ornate saffron]

Progress for more machines and complexity

Feed the space elevator.

[toxic lichen]

i no wanna rn :(

im sorting out
all my stuffs ;-;

im gonna need to smack this little hammer like 300 times
thats
manageable ;-;

[ornate saffron]

Hit space and go for a stretch and have some water. Snuggle a cat

[toxic lichen]

my cat does not like to snuggle unless she wants it

you can be near her
she chooses when snuggle ;-;

[ornate saffron]

Im familiar. Weasley was the same.

[real shale]

I love how i set a route for my truck and it immediately finds a way to submerge itself in water

[toxic lichen]

whats with that number by my hotbar
it says 1
and 1 segment of a circle is filled rn

[toxic elk]

hotbar slots

[toxic lichen]

ah

[toxic elk]

ctrl and scroll

i think

[toxic lichen]

are we on about the same 1

[toxic elk]

ss?

ah yh

isnt it controll

oh wai

[toxic lichen]

the number wasnt changing with control no e'-e'

[toxic elk]

alt, or shift (i aint rember)

[toxic lichen]

ahhhhhhhh

[ornate saffron]

Hold alt and use the scroll wheel.

I like using 1 2 and ten

[toxic lichen]

thats a lot of hotbars holy

im still using the deafults given ;-;

[toxic elk]

lol

[ornate saffron]

Me two. Ive just added a lot to make building easier and become muscle memory

[quasi warren]

I usually do that untill I get annoyed that I keep opening up the q menu

[toxic lichen]

fair enough e'-e'

[void cliff]

How well do factory carts do when driving on rough terrain? Do they just keel over? I’m genuinely considering going crazy with factory carts

[ornate saffron]

Try it. Its fun

Just make one and try using it. Everyone experience it differently.

I can't drive at all in satisfactory. I have a friend record my routes

[quasi warren]

I remember listening to music while playing this, spaced out. And then I remember my heart beating so fast because a stinger, green one. Jumped me. Cause I didnt know where I was going

This game can give huge jumpscares at times

[pastel dawn]

I'm a grown ass man and I logged into a three year old world and the only thing I did was drive a cart around a skate park I made for a good 20 minutes giggling like a dipshit. No regrets.

[void cliff]

I generally like using tractors, they are very easy to control and navigate. Trucks are unruly and difficult and explorers I feel like I’m always at risk for flying over the map or flipping it but I’ve recorded tractor routes with jumps in them (fun hot wheels shit). And I always observe / go back and delete mistakes from the route

[ornate saffron]

Alright off to get my eyes lasered. Talk to you all another day

[void cliff]

Enjoy the smell of burning retinas!

[drowsy kelp]

sounds interesting

[quasi warren]

Cya!

[real shale]

oh i did not know that jumping into the power augmenters beam ragdolled you back lol

[toxic lichen]

I HAVE SLOOP

[void cliff]

🙂

What if it slooped pioneers but also killed them when you jumped in?

[toxic lichen]

e'-e'

can you have multiple augmenters
or js 1 at a time

[real shale]

you can have multiple

[toxic lichen]

e'-e'

and multiple of the big one?

[real shale]

big one?

[toxic lichen]

there a big one
that does 30% instead of 10%

[real shale]

thats the same one just with alien power matrixes fed in

[toxic lichen]

ah

[white beacon]

What's the best place for a bomb factory?

Im running out of nobelisks

[reef basin]

near resources it needs

[toxic lichen]

man do i love blowing up all the plants

[white beacon]

Real

[toxic lichen]

theyre in my way

i dont need to breathe anyways

[white beacon]

When I could finally get rid of those stupid gas things it was a blessing

[toxic lichen]

on god

[void cliff]

You mean the hog killers? I love those things

[unkempt blade]

just run straight through them and hork down berries as needed to top off HP

[void cliff]

Gas nobelisks are my favorite weapon in the game. I love using biological warfare to wipe out pests

I just wished they worked on spiders 🙁

[toxic lichen]

give us napalm nobelisks
problem solved

spitter extract or some shit

Ez pz

does the homing work?

[void cliff]

Homing ammo is bugged on my dedicated server for some reason

[white beacon]

Oh my god I can upload nobelisks I am going to the dunes and making a small bomb factory asap

[void cliff]

I set and forget them, typically just make them at the first steel plant, never worrying about how much they consume and just set them at a low production rate because I’m never going to use 1 per minute, lol

[white beacon]

I have a tendency to use nobelisks as a fast travel back to my hub

[void cliff]

Was laughing at let’s game it out’s strategy for his video a year ago. Build everything in a huge spire above the hub. Who needs fall protection, just use gravity and respawn

[unkempt blade]

just hork down berries until you're topped off THEN jump

[void cliff]

The pioneer does hork down some berries and nuts…

[toxic lichen]

this map keeps surprising me

i think ive explored a massice chunk
i look
ive barely seen anything

[void cliff]

I saw one where he bricked the game (even worse than the conveyor tornado) just crafting a lot of tractors in a ball pit. They act like those little vibrating ball toys and just start launching tractors out of the pit randomly. I wonder if that got fixed

LGIO certainly gets creative with it and his deadpan delivery makes it so damn funnny

It’s really awesome for those guys. Can’t imagine having a job I enjoyed, lol

totalXclipse and other YouTubers included

[junior arch]

Has anyone gotten the Satisfactory tools calculator to work right for the nuclear rods? I can get all three to fit if I input the required waste. But after a certain number of fisconium rods it fails and idk why

Its doing the bauxite conversion

Wait... hang on I have an idea

Maybe its strictly converting the bauxite and not factoring in the regular uranium ore

[toxic lichen]

why is there like a bajillion uranium clusters in this stupid ass cave

[reef basin]

if you're doing ficsonium, there's not enough SAM on the map to convert max possible plutonium to ficsonium

if it "fails", it means you're making more than either SAM or your amount of waste can handle

[toxic lichen]

damn

[void cliff]

Including slooping the SAM?

[reef basin]

SFTools can't do sloops, but afaik yes, even including that (but I may be wrong)

[junior arch]

Its weird cause a calculation a friend shared it works great witg 112 Ficsonium rods. But I try to do it on my own and it fails lol

I gotta duplicate alt recipes and trace it out

[reef basin]

I mean you can share the tab and we can have a look at it

[junior arch]

Driving. Give me a littl

[toxic lichen]

cant sloop SAM tho e'-e'
unless you mean the
processed version

[keen vault]

this game might legit be the cure i need

[jovial wing]

Hey guys. I just unlocked trains and built my first freight platform connected to a train station.
I connected a storage output into the freight platform input but the items just wont go in, no matter the 'load' 'unload' i check on the platform.
Anything I missed, any advice?

[toxic lichen]

theres a lot more power slugs than i first thought ;-;

from purples
you can get
2570
power shards ;-;

[jovial wing]

I have hooked up power to the train station

Ugh

I dunno, I removed and put the freight platform back again for the third time

And now it's loading. Not sure if there was some weird disconnect. Thanks Maxeek

Jk not working

[frosty mirage]

There are some crude oil nodes that i cant break with nobelisks, do i need stronger ones?

[toxic lichen]

e'-e'

thought you break stuff by hand

[real shale]

god the sound and design of the power augmentor is just top tier, it looks very appealing

[jovial wing]

Man this is frustrating

[frosty mirage]

Damn okay, thanks

[junior arch]

I just started looking at it, like really looking at it and the math isn't mathing. It goes from 50.4 Uranium rods, to 22.4 Pluto Rods, to 112 Fisconium. But if you divide the uranium waste (2,520 by 200) you get 12.6

[jovial wing]

I did, but being stupid is frustrating.
I realized that of course I have to put the freight platform on the side of the trainstation the train is arriving from

And apparently if you put it on the other side it doesn't load 😁

[junior arch]

https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production?share=z3yA2xHiBJJcDjWx8nIn

Here take a look

[void cliff]

Easy mistake to make, I’m sure we all did that our first time

[reef basin]

why divide by 200?

[junior arch]

200 waste per pluto rod

Well im on console so I cant mod

Oooh

[toxic lichen]

is there enough harddrives to match the amount of alt recipes
or are there more alts than hds

[reef basin]

it's 10 waste per pl rod

[reef basin]

more HDDs than alts

[toxic lichen]

then
why so many HDDs e'-e'

what do the extra do e'-e'

[reef basin]

keep them?

[toxic lichen]

e'-e'
imma shove em in the ol prison wallet then

[void cliff]

Eh, why put biocoal and charcoal alts in the HDD’s when they already come from the MAM? Who knows. Assume errors in ADA/the MAM are why there’s so many crash sites

I understand there also used to be flowers in the game and some other things that were simplified or changed in the MAM

[toxic lichen]

lowk the bicoal and charcoal
lowk useless
from what i can see

[reef basin]

they are only in MAM

[void cliff]

Not only useless but also already comes from the MAM

[reef basin]

they are not useless

[junior arch]

https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production?share=KVJW20wcRLKwdS6XOmDE

Its 200

[toxic lichen]

e'-e'

can you automate
plant
stuffs

[reef basin]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Plutonium_Fuel_Rod
it's 10

[void cliff]

What I mean is that you learn them automatically with MAM research / Tier unlocks and yet they still show up in the hard drive library even after you have already learned them

[zenith pecan]

Sorry for the slow response, I was at work, most of my factories were torn down ready to rebuild in order to take advantage of my power grid.

[reef basin]

you don't get them automatically

[zenith pecan]

Installing a dozen pcs for deployment.

[void cliff]

I did, they show up as alts while still having them in the hard drive library

[zenith pecan]

IT workshop rat 😛

[jovial wing]

So now how do i get the cargo to unload from the freight platform onto the freight car? 🥺

[real shale]

you unlock their alt recipes for hard drives by doing research in the MAM, you don't get the recipes through MAM research itself.

[junior arch]

You're talking alt recipes?

[reef basin]

I'm talking how much waste you get from buring a rod

[toxic lichen]

when it says
increases stack size for the DD

does that mean
like lets say
iron plates
itll hold 400 per slot instead?

[junior arch]

Yea 10 waste for burning a plutonium rods.
What does that have to do with it taking 200 uranium waste to make a plutonium rod?

If youre talking burning a uranium rods its 50

[real shale]

yes

[fluid crow]

it holds an additional stack for each upgrade

[real shale]

every time you get an additional stack that means you can store an additional whatever number a stack of that item is

[toxic lichen]

wonderful ;-;

[real shale]

so for max upgrade you could store up to 1k iron plates

[junior arch]

What were you showing me in the screenshot you posted

[junior arch]

So you dont have that many factories running? Thats why you have a galatic ton of power lol

[zenith pecan]

Some factories are still up including processing all the worlds bauxite, I just need to rebuild things in a manner I'm happy with.

[reef basin]

that diffres with alt recipes

[zenith pecan]

That was my old save killing pc's taking names.

[toxic lichen]

what did mans do ;-;

[hidden pebble]

My drone port says it consumes 18 battery per trip, 3.62 per min, but the supported fuel types shows trip cost battery is 0.177 per min, duration in 6:54, i can't understand which one is the actual consumption

[toxic lichen]

dont consumptions
changed
based on actual drain

like power stuff
ykwim

[zenith pecan]

I've been too busy to actually play lately though 🙁

[hidden pebble]

Uh what's the actual consumption like how do i know that

[toxic lichen]

you feel it in your balls

[hidden pebble]

I haven't played the game enough for that

[toxic lichen]

unlock spidey balls in the mam

[hidden pebble]

Wtf is spidey balls

[valid timber]

love finishing a factory then an hour later finding an entire section not operating...

[zenith pecan]

Cool 👍

[hidden pebble]

I made a factory which can become a beautiful maths numerical

[junior arch]

Bro thats crazy. Are you modding anything?

[zenith pecan]

I don't mod.

[junior arch]

Hmm so it is possible on console. I must learn this power

[unkempt blade]

what is modding?

[zenith pecan]

The tunneling part should work the same as on pc.

[unkempt blade]

unlike me, I was perfect from the moment I started playing

[hidden pebble]

Guys do any of you loop back your by product water into your fresh water while making alumina

[hidden pebble]

Perfection is the chatter of the hollow

[zenith pecan]

I sort of don't, I have one fresh and two wastewater using refineries per group, you do need to mess with clocks.

[unkempt blade]

thanks buddy I like your chattering too

satire is yet another thing I'm perfect at

[magic knoll]

i love the elevators

[hidden pebble]

No need to praise me

[magic knoll]

they're so peak for my monolithic structures

[zenith pecan]

I was disappointed in them, the place where I wanted to use them was three times taller than the max height of them.

[junior arch]

Tunneling?

[white dawn]

Plenty of folks do; if it's something you want to do then using a "VIP Junction" is the most reliable way to do it (search the wiki for the pipeline manual)

Personally I prefer keeping the fresh+recycled totally separate, but combining can work

[zenith pecan]

Building under the map, here's a primer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rc9T_ZlDv68

[hidden pebble]

I made one but I didn't do any vip stuff💀

[junior arch]

@unborn gyro so it does work. Ig ill have to try the modeler. I have it downloaded on my laptop

[unkempt blade]

no it goes straight to the wet concrete factory for processing!

[placid stirrup]

Next time I do aluminum I want to try sending byproduct water to another production

[junior arch]

I havent tried modeler yet. Ive just been using sf tools. But this one stumped me. I have a wild idea for a creative save but I want to break it into sections

[junior arch]

Fam why and how did you discover this?

[zenith pecan]

My aluminium setup uses groups of 7 refineries, the recipes are sloppy & electrode, one refinery gets fresh water, it runs at 90% , the other two bauxite intake refineries run at 105%, they use wastewater only, the four refineries that produce the aluminium scrap have their water outputs connected two at a time, each pair feeds one wastewater refinery each.

[zenith pecan]

Literally years ago, and building subsurface was caused by a logistic nightmare feeding an old turbofuel facility which was my first 133gw+ power station before even considering nuclear (waste processing didn't exist back then)

[fading whale]

It's a choice 🙂 But I do. And it works fine.

[junior arch]

Aah gotcha

[junior arch]

So what is your power grid generated by?

[hidden pebble]

It's just it takes some time to reach a steady state

[zenith pecan]

Here is how all the bauxite feeds from under the map: #screenshots message

[fading whale]

Not for me really. But there was some trial and error to run the pipes right.

[zenith pecan]

Here is my power station #satisfactory-experimental message , power lines run on top of my tunnel network that is all over the map.

[hidden pebble]

It didn't? How strange. If there's x amount of water required, and the output water is y, then i need to pump x-y water from outside. If i start with just x-y water being pumped in, it should idle and fluctuate before settling to a steady state.

[simple roost]

Howdy. I'm new to the game. Is there an in-game factory calculator for production line math?

[hidden pebble]

The searchbar (press n) has a calculator

[junior arch]

Holy crap

[fading whale]

I don't limit the freshwater. But run the pipes right, and it can be made to prioritize the recycled water while topping it off with the fresh supply.

[hidden pebble]

I guess limiting the freshwater is just a relatively simpler method which takes some time to settle

[simple roost]

That brought up the search of the objects. Good to know, thank you. How do I access the calculator from there?

[placid stirrup]

I use salt water is that ok?

[hidden pebble]

Type whatever expression you need there

[zenith pecan]

Here's the power stations output #screenshots message

[hidden pebble]

No, salty crusts on pipe is bad

[fading whale]

That one does take some time and adjusting to dial in.
I may have used voodoo by sacrificing a doggo or two. But it can be done. Would recommend reading the fluids bible someone wrote 🙂

[simple roost]

Oh, I meant something that would calculate production lines. I doubt it's in vanilla.

[zenith pecan]

I can't run power lines between saves 😛

[hidden pebble]

I read that, experimented, got no consistent results, and went back to my philosophy of "limit transport with consumption"

[hidden pebble]

Use satisfactory tools by greeny dev

[placid stirrup]

Pins in #math-and-meta

[junior arch]

Bro thats a lot of fuel generators

[simple roost]

I'll look for that, thank you!

[magic knoll]

any way to 2d zoop without mods

[zenith pecan]

The power station is large enough to be seen from several biomes over #screenshots message

[void cliff]

I got the recipes for biocoal and charcoal without doing the hard drive research. Can't figure out where it came from, maybe it's a bug. Proof here:#screenshots message

Some people say that it unlocks automatically when researching compacted coal.

[junior arch]

Broooo what are you making?!

[simple roost]

That's very helpful, thank you! I had already plugged my production line into both Greeny and Anthor Net's calaculators last night (as well as about four others). I was hoping I was missing a mod to do it right in game, eg Helmod's Foctory Planner mod in Factorio, so I didn't have to keep tabbing out of the game. I'll use one of those two. Thanks, y'all!

[junior arch]

I need the stats and the recipes for later! Lol

[zenith pecan]

Never having to worry about electric again, though this is my style of factory: #screenshots message , so it does justify building a power station like that.

[junior arch]

I see. I want to try my hand at doing something like that

[zenith pecan]

Another example from my first save #design-and-architecture message

[junior arch]

So youre using all 3 nuclear rods? And what Rocket Fuel? Maybe some Iodized Fuel?

And coal gens?

[toxic lichen]

what things are like
worth slooping

[zenith pecan]

My current plan is to use all the uranium on the map just for the sheer sake of it.

[toxic lichen]

i plan on that dw

but
normal things

parts and stuff

[void cliff]

is compacted coal research in the MAM confirmed as unlocking Charcoal and Biocoal automatically? is it a known bug or is it just a change that isn't shown in the MAM

[junior arch]

Yea im definitely doing that. But then what else

[magic knoll]

any way to 2d zoop without mods?

[zenith pecan]

Nuclear isn't online in my current save, that production floor was from my previous save during early access.

[toxic lichen]

2d zoop?

like
zoop in diff directions in stead of js 1 straight line?

[magic knoll]

YEAH

caps

[toxic lichen]

mods i believe

[placid stirrup]

Most including myself use SFTools, I think some like the graphical components of the others but Tools is just way easier to work with for me.

[simple roost]

This one? https://www.satisfactorytools.com/

[zenith pecan]

I'll still need to produce singularities.

[toxic lichen]

huh
my first purple slug didnt 2x

strange

sigh

[void cliff]

Does using oil only for petroleum coke ->coal generators still count as not using oil power? Haha

[toxic lichen]

</3

[zenith pecan]

I used oil to petrocoke in order to feed my baux refinery, and turn the rest into time crystals.

[toxic lichen]

i mean
im getting 175 shards out of my purples
i can live on that stock pile for the mean time

gonna need em for my smelters ;-;

i just wanna make
some nice
facilities for specific things
and have trains zooming around the map ;-;

but i gotta
do stuff ;-;
like caveman

e'-e'
257 to be exact yes

without making it 10x
its still like
1,25k shards

on god bruh ;-;

making 200 SAM flucuators by hand like a caveman rn

[zenith pecan]

Nooo don't do that, move the SAM like this #screenshots message 😄

[unkempt blade]

I like how purple everything is

[zenith pecan]

Yeah, I coloured the belts & machines to be at least close to the SAM.

[jovial wing]

Damn I feel like loading up the freight carts on trains is impossible

[unkempt blade]

why is that?

[jovial wing]

Do I have to perfectly line the freight cart up on the freight platform and press F for docking? I really don't see how I'm supposed to do it.
I never see the option to load it up. Cart 1-2 are loaded and now I am trying to load up cart 3 but don't know how to

[coral marsh]

Fun fact: the game engine starts to break down if you place 3 thousand or more foundations at once (thanks infinite zoop) 🤣🤣

[toxic lichen]

is the upload speed for the DD at base horrible?

[jovial wing]

Do I need 3 platforms in order to load 3 carts? Can't just move forward?

[coral marsh]

Each upgrade almost perfectly matches each conveyor tier upto t3

[toxic lichen]

e'-e'
hmmm

[coral marsh]

The max upload speed of the DD is 240 items per minute

[unkempt blade]

...are you trying to do it yourself while driving the train?

[toxic lichen]

seems a bit
slow

[jovial wing]

Yes, I just unlocked the train and is building it for the first time

[coral marsh]

You can setup multiple for 1 item so you can use a mk4 or 6 belt for 2 or 3 DD uploads

[toxic lichen]

i see the vision

[coral marsh]

There is also a mod that allows you to increase the speed to that of a mk6 belt

1200 items per min

[toxic lichen]

its basically
So i dont have to lug around base materials if i wanna build stuff yea?

[coral marsh]

Yup

[unkempt blade]

you should get some sort of dock action you can take when you line up the engine with the front station

[toxic lichen]

and when opening a hard drive container thingy
can it pull from there?

[coral marsh]

No

[toxic lichen]

;-;

[coral marsh]

Those need to be in your personal inv

[toxic lichen]

sigh

[coral marsh]

Its not a bother

Once you unlock weapons, thats mainly what your inv is for, storing ammo and hard drives

[jovial wing]

I'm not, and the game is freaking out when trying to self drive and loading up fuel as the container isn't full and keeps filling up as it's loading so it's stuck there forever 😂

[unkempt blade]

Yeah I'm not really sure what would be happening. I pretty much just use trains on automated routes recently

[toxic lichen]

but you see
how am i gonna get the HDDs
without the stuff in my inventory ;-;

[fast finch]

guys, my refinery doesnt take in the heavy oil residue in order to start poroducing fuel. i dont know what is wrong literally baffled

[coral marsh]

Go into the settings and change the enemies from attack to retaliate, they will only attack you if you attack them first

Passive until provoked

[toxic lichen]

that doesnt change
having the needed mats to open the door

[unkempt blade]

How many weapons and ammo and stuff do you actually need that it's your main use of inventory? There's barely combat in this game 🤣

[quasi warren]

Theres a bug with that for me. All enemies wont retaliate except for the flying bugs

Its just the hatchers that retaliate for me. Nothing else

[jovial wing]

Yeah I'll probably just set up the automatic routes. Was kind of enjoying the idea of driving it and loading myself a bit not gonna lie

[coral marsh]

In most games, my inv mostly consists of healing items and ammo

[toxic lichen]

im assuming coated concrete
is that really smooth concrete yes e'-e'

[unkempt blade]

this is satisfactory though

[quasi warren]

If you do a ton of exploration...ammo is needed

[unkempt blade]

but the main use of the inventory is ammo?...

[quasi warren]

Its a sandbox game, each person has their own Playstyle

Some, like using their inv for ammo. Others dont

Same with the DD. some like using it. Some dont

[unkempt blade]

and if someone is advising new players about what the inventory is for do you think this is reasonable advice or something for the handful of murder hobos playing this game?

[fast finch]

GUYS!!! anyone has this bugg??? i have refinery -> taking crude -> output plastic & heavy crud oil -> another refinery set on fuel with heavy crude incoming into it- > IT DOESNT TAKE IN the heavy crude oil. what is this fuckery.

[quasi warren]

Check ALL pipes

Are you using any pumps?

Those tend to cause me problems

[quasi warren]

... fair enough.

[toxic lichen]

the wall power outlets

how do they like
work

[quasi warren]

They are essentially a power pole on a wall

[fast finch]

its one pipe just. i just re done it. no pumps its just 3-4 meteres OF STRAIGHT HORIZONTAL pipe. the refineries are one in front of the other(i dont want to have pump issues, i tend to build fluids horizontally)

[quasi warren]

Theres two variations. Double, and single. Double has a port on both sides of the wall. Single doesn't

[toxic lichen]

so
id still need a power pole
connected to them as well then no?

[fast finch]

same as poles, only that you have 1 little power outlet.

[zenith pecan]

Wall outlet on the floor #screenshots message , or just used regularly?

[toxic lichen]

huh

[quasi warren]

Open up a question in #1038092680493801533

[toxic lichen]

how they floating like that ;-;

[toxic lichen]

lets say
used regularly

[zenith pecan]

Fair enough, under normal use they mount to walls and ceilings, you can use cables to connect them in the same fashion as the power poles.

[toxic lichen]

ic

and the mk2 variant i assume
js has as many possible connections as a mk2 pole yea?

[zenith pecan]

Yeah.

[toxic lichen]

but then again

they also have double variants
So im lowk lost

[zenith pecan]

The doubles poke through walls, essentially a wall socket on both sides of the wall, they are also connected.

[toxic lichen]

ooo
fancy fancy

wait
how do i paint
and add a material look ;-;

yes

[real shale]

0, they'd eviscerate the alpacas

[toxic lichen]

so wait
if i change a foundations material look
i cant seem to change t he color now ;-;

[real shale]

mk6 belts go at a speed of approximately 85,000 m/s or something like that, thats enough to completely annihilate anything that comes into contact with them but items are allowed across it because its a game :P

[toxic lichen]

i mean
can it move a squirrel fast enough?

they can survive their own terminal velocity

[real shale]

to put that into imperial units that is approximately 190k mph

[dim glen]

Does anyone want to play im kind of new

[quasi warren]

#1201555265942724758

Best place for that

[coral marsh]

Mach 247.4 btw, nearly 250 TIMES THE SPEED OF SOUND

[valid timber]

What should I do to dispose of Heavy Fuel Residue until I'm able to unlock and setup packaging/petroleum power? Just a million fluid buffers?

[zenith pecan]

Hypersonic belts, go go.

[bitter crow]

i despise biofuel reactors

[real shale]

mind you thats coming from reggies video so dont kill me if its wrong

[fickle locust]

Petroleum Coke to burn in generators or just sink

[coral marsh]

If its fuel, use fuel gens, if its heavy oil residue, turn it all into petroleum coke and sink the coke

[fluid crow]

it's like the type of thing you take camping to start your big generator

[zenith pecan]

Turn it into diamond then time crystals.

[valid timber]

Gothca thanks guys :P

[real shale]

ah i got the units wrong

not m/s, m/h that slows things down substantially lol

still dangerous though

[coral marsh]

Meters per hour? That takes it down to 0.06Mach

[real shale]

misremembered from the video, all i remember was him showing that if someone stuck their arm out to it it would completely annihilate it

[real shale]

yeah, i misremembered the units from the video, since m/h...is such a rare unit i ever see

[coral marsh]

85kph isnt going to completely annihilate or obliterate anything unless it has a mass over 50kg,

Mach 20 would

But not mach 0.06

[clever sandal]

is fog rare?

[real shale]

hey if you wanna stick out an arm and grab something from a mk6 belt you be my guest

[coral marsh]

No clue, but id love a mod that fully removes it from the game

[real shale]

there is a command

[junior arch]

@unborn gyro im at work so im messing with SF tools. I got the uranium rods and the plutonium rods to work at the right numbers. I can only get the Ficsonium to 95.6 before it says it cant do it

[clever sandal]

about the fog or some other topic

[real shale]

r.fog 0 turns the fog off

[zenith pecan]

just open the console and type "r.fog 0"

[clever sandal]

nah man i like it

its cool

[real shale]

fog can be annoying at times because it presents itself inside buildings

makes it look like i've just entered a graveyard instead of a factory

[clever sandal]

should i build a central storage

[toxic lichen]

why not

scatter it all over the map
ez pz

[coral marsh]

The major factor is when you take into account the density and mass of an item, if something with a mass over 35Kg is moving at 85kph, its gonna bloody hurt to hit you, but you could grab it. But if its let's say, an encased industrial steel beam, which might have a total mass of 200kg, and its moving at 85kph, yea no that would 100% kill you or rip your hand off.

[abstract heron]

Hī

[coral marsh]

Fog

[zenith pecan]

Or when fog used to do this #satisfactory-experimental message

Another old fog complaint #math-and-meta message 🤣

[real shale]

me reaching out to grab the nuclear pasta going at 85 kph

[abstract heron]

I am doing now all bauxite into alumin

[toxic lichen]

tbf tho

the more mass it has
doesnt it take a lot more force or energy for it to hit the same speed as the 35kg object e'-e'

[tame bobcat]

i have so much quartz i might just automate hella computers with silicon circuit boards + crystal oscillators recipe ngl, seems like the easier choice than bring oil all the way to my megafactory (thats a problem for future me 🤣)

[toxic lichen]

so
would all object have the same speed on the conveyors or not

[coral marsh]

200 condensed copper powder right? If I knew the exact size of the nuclear pasta I could work out its density and volume + mass and then work out momentum and get the inertial energy it would have moving at 85kph

[real shale]

density could be summarised for nuclear pasta to DENSE given what it is

[coral marsh]

Yes, thats acceleration and why inertia exists iirc.

[coral marsh]

I was meaning the exact or "to the nearest 10th" value

[toxic lichen]

been a while since ive been in a physics classroom tbf

[real shale]

"Nuclear Pasta is extremely dense degenerate matter, formed when extreme pressure forces protons and electrons together into neutrons. It is theorized to exist naturally within the crust of neutron stars."

[coral marsh]

Same

[real shale]

its essentially a miniture neutron star

[toxic lichen]

uhmm
how do i turn my task bar back on ;-;

[real shale]

so it'd probably be extremely heavy

[clever sandal]

you can pet a dead lizard doggo

[coral marsh]

Yes but miniature in the grand scheme of space could mean its either the size of a quarter of the moon or the size of earth (depends on how big the atar was initially and how much or how little mass it did loose when going super nova) so again, I would need exact values

[fast finch]

guys what is happening. first refinery for processing crude oil works, but the second one that takes heavy crude to make fuel, IT DOESNT WORK. what the fuck is happening. game doesnt game anymore for me

[coral marsh]

If i went from the average of an irl miniature neutron star, then a nuclear pasta would have a rough density of 4.5x10¹⁷ Kg/m³

[coral marsh]

1.035x10¹⁹ Kg-M/s for one nuclear pasta (very, VERY rough math's here) moving at 85kph on a mk6 belt

[abstract heron]

All best alts

[abstract heron]

@unborn gyro

[void cliff]

Are you combining mixed product pipes, which would block the outlets?

[void cliff]

I think it would be a good blueprint to copy/paste

[real shale]

ah yes i love it when my plan requires 568.889 iron ingots a minute

[coral marsh]

Im making 50 super computers per minute

[real shale]

im trying to do 10 fused frames a minute, supercomputers a next afterwards

maybe... ive been putting supercomputers off for a long time

[coral marsh]

Mods make it fun

Have a look in #screenshots you'll see my factory base for the supercomputers

[quasi warren]

Ive never used trains TwT whats the best way to set them up?

[keen vault]

what limits do trains have going uphill?

[abstract heron]

What all best alts trying to make much 12300 alumin ingots per minute

[void cliff]

The best way is to learn a bit by watching YouTube videos from people like totalXclipse and then taking what you learned and going and trying it.

If you have learned trucks, you will quickly see that trains are far easier and more reliable fairly quickly. Can even be set up just like trucks performing simple loops.

I recommend using a blueprint to make a “2-rail support” that you can use blueprint autoconnect to lay down a lot of track quickly, but there are a LOT of variants of a blueprint like this (ramps with turning angles, etc), that can make it overwhelming to learn all at once.

Learn the basics, go practice it. See what you hate about it. And practice some more. There’s no easy cheat to railways, you just have to practice it and learn.

[quasi warren]

Fair enough

[tame bobcat]

thats.. a genius idea i didnt even consider

thanks for giving me the idea thats gonna make it 10x easier lol

[void cliff]

Typically you want about 1 engine per four freight cars

[zenith pecan]

Just don't do what I did, 1 loco & 400 cars 🤣

[drowsy kelp]

That won’t work even with empty cars and a flat rail

[zenith pecan]

Here's 1 loco pulling 400 cars off the ground and onto an elevated test area #satisfactory-experimental message , it managed only 13km/h , here's before I moved it #satisfactory-experimental message

[junior arch]

What in gods name made you think of that

[obsidian hound]

we getting 1.2 anytime soon?

[zenith pecan]

It was part of a physics experiment.

[gloomy tusk]

i mean i havent even finished with 1.1 content yet

[zenith pecan]

Here's the experiment playing out #design-and-architecture message , it hugely crashed the framerate, this was back when the game used UE4.

[dire salmon]

im excited for it

[gloomy tusk]

did you have to rerail all of them individually

[zenith pecan]

No, just click on the crashed train and you put it back on the track in its entirity.

[sick falcon]

they’re easier than fused frames

[gloomy tusk]

i thought they were all trains

[zenith pecan]

The target was a 400 car train.

[gloomy tusk]

how did you make them stack ontop of each other like that

[clever sandal]

how do i get to the rocky desert SAM

[zenith pecan]

Just drove it onto a circular track, the train cannot crash into itself so I could coil it up.

[sick falcon]

does that still work

[clever sandal]

guys_

[zenith pecan]

The train didn't immediately explode when I initially loaded the old save into 1.0, I haven't tested since.

[zenith pecan]

Best bet is look on the map here https://satisfactory-calculator.com/ , the RD SAM is in a cave, the map can show the entrance, should be right near the quartz in the same cave.

[quasi warren]

How should I do a setup then? Each train car dedicated to one resource? Like one for packaged liquids and one for the empty containers to bring back? Or no

[surreal rose]

Just realised i had steel screws recipe, no more calculating how much screws i need

Might make even more heavy modulars frames and start doing phase 3

Is there anything that could calculate everything for me?

[keen vault]

how should i split my iron production after finishing the smelters?(phase 3)

[surreal rose]

No need to split it, just make what you need and excess iron just keep until needed

[keen vault]

im tryna make all the stuff i need

with iron (excl steel stuff)

[surreal rose]

Gotta start signalling railways but for that i need to stop my whole factory

[turbid matrix]

So I play on my computer. I can play for like 6+ hours when I have time to get on. But after a couple hours, the game like bugs out and starts going super slow/lagging. If I stand still in the game and do nothing(usually I'll just go make food or something), it stops after a few minutes. Sometimes it stops if i shut down the game, sometimes it doesn't. Does anyone else have this issue?

[surreal rose]

Does your whole windows(or os you using) lagging or only the game?

[turbid matrix]

Just the game. I can go to another window and my PC is functioning normally, the game is the only thing

[surreal rose]

Than idk

You have enough ram?

[rugged jasper]

Almost finished my 112.5 pr min. supercomputer build, but my brain is cooked now.

[surreal rose]

Bc it can spike if you go to another area with high complex factory

[surreal rose]

Dayum

My brain will just die in future from calculations

[rugged jasper]

I do die after some hours doing backwards calculations from final build.
but I am almost there.
maybe I put the last 3-4 hours in it tonight, or I will do it in the morning tomorrow 🤭

[surreal rose]

Turns out my little 1755 iron ingot factory isn't enough for just 10 heavy frames

I genuinely hate this game

Why do i even keep playing it

[rugged jasper]

I think we share the same addiction ^^

[surreal rose]

Probably

BRUHHH

[white dawn]

Here's a plan which requires 1280/min Iron Ingots: https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production?share=4iCEjzHtHwNShrZie50g

[surreal rose]

I need 2.5k framework😭

[hard stump]

Iv been in that state sooo long lately.
I had a friend I was playing with but his love for the game died and dissipated no one ever wants to join late game and I just can’t be bothered to take all my hard work and call it quits. But also his builds are messy and terrible so like nothings been done in weeks cuz im so overwhelmed cooked and no help it sucks I get it

[rugged jasper]

🥹

[surreal rose]

Blender

[white dawn]

Here's one which requires 112.5/min Iron Ingot: https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production?share=m8LxbX6P4F4irqo4Dlw6

[rugged jasper]

yeah I get it tho I do make everything myself, as I work best alone ^^
I get angry if someone do messy work 🤭
I think it is a OCD thing

[coarse moss]

Does anyone think we'll get more updates and content from this game or do you think they're working on 2.0?

[rugged jasper]

everything must be perfect 😄

[hard stump]

Biggest project tbh at may never see the light of day is an iron ingot factory with 400 smelters total ore transported in by train ingots transported out by train and maybe a drone port or 2 but sadly this beast my never see the light of day

[versed cosmos]

it's not so bad if you just set up a big storage area for your steel beams and then handfeed the parts to an assembler and containers

[white dawn]

They're working on v1.2 at the moment, which will be out sometime in the first half of this year

And they've said there will be a series of similar free updates for at least awhile. Plans beyond that (DLC, 2.0, new game, whatever) have not been confirmed

[versed cosmos]

why use iron pipe here if you're still making steel for steel rods?

[untold moat]

Official VR support would be nice...

[surreal rose]

This game is about lazy dude who makes everything just not to work manually and you telling me to work manually?

[versed cosmos]

you're still making the machines do it

[untold moat]

Heh, I hand craft everything until I hit oil power

[white dawn]

I was merely providing an example which requires fewer than 1755/min Iron Ingots. :)

[versed cosmos]

you're literally just putting the items in a container

that's the extent of your work

[hard stump]

I don’t mind doing things on my own. But now it’s like I can delete things it’s not making any of that at all so I get overwhelmed. The other part of it is having a friend to play with it’s nice to take a break go check out what they did as well KNOW something else is being done your not just spending hours to get step 1 done but then have to do step 2,3 etc they are doing step 2 but now I’m by myself and I hate it

[versed cosmos]

for your early project parts it's absolutely valid to just hook up containers to machines and give them the parts they need

[surreal rose]

I need blender for that and i need phase 3 for that

[surreal rose]

Conveyors✌️

[white dawn]

Here's one which requires 1521/min: https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production?share=0e52oyeuGZZSvz6oZtHQ -- no Blenders!

10 heavy frames that takes less iron than your 1755 iron

[rugged jasper]

tagged you in SS ^^

[surreal rose]

I don't have encased heavy frames and hell no i better build another one iron ingot factory than build a new biome just for 10 frames

[rugged jasper]

#screenshots message
@surreal rose @hard stump 🙌
this is my progress so far

[surreal rose]

#screenshots message put trigger warning on that bruh, my brain shut down instantly

[white dawn]

Sure, build however you like. :) I was merely addressing your complaint that 1755/min Iron Ingots wasn't enough for 10/min HMF. If you're willing to do a bit more hard drive hunting, it is possible. :)

[drowsy kelp]

smelters doesn't sound like the best choice

[versed cosmos]

rip mine actually doesnt work cause i had it set to magically spawn 10 modular frames

[surreal rose]

Well for now i need to get gas filters and probably nuclear suit(which is in phase 3-4) bc most of the safe ones i already collected

[hard stump]

Yeah I saw that’s super good and way more then what iv ever built that pic I posted right before yours was my biggest project ever 400 smelters total utilizing mk6 belts ( 🙁 that I don’t even have yet) no trains for it and I just have playing on my own. Have a guy who pops in and does his best to help but we are on very different time zones. I’m also a night owl person so really only on super late at night

[versed cosmos]
