[elder skiff]

How is the dunes? Im starting over and wanna try it out, is foliage and water as much of an issue as the game says ?

[zenith bear]

I kinda bounce back and forth with this game. Sometimes I get really into it and then I get completely disinterested because it gives me a headache

[normal orbit]

not at all

[zenith bear]

I’m back in the stage where it’s addictive

[elder skiff]

Cool

[zenith bear]

What do y’all use for long distance transport? Right now I just use tubes. But they take a while to get where you need

[gritty falcon]

imo the biggest issue(?) is that a few resources are very far away in bulk, like crude oil. so it requires a big logistics network at a certain point

[gritty falcon]

tubes CANNONS

[normal orbit]

hyper cannons, belt launchers, jetpack, train riding/launching

[zenith bear]

I’ve just started tampering with oil, and it takes like 2-3 minutes every time I need to get to the oil factories

[elder skiff]

I havent even hit the point of crude oil in my other save so I guess this wont even be all that much of an issue for a while

[zenith bear]

What are hyper cannons

[gritty falcon]

yup

[zenith bear]

And belt launchers

[zenith bear]

I just got to it

[normal orbit]

hyper cannons are linking hypertube entraces to build momentum to launch you fast and far

[zenith bear]

And you need the jet pack to cushion your fall?

[normal orbit]

belt launchers is just running along the fastest belt you got and slide jump and feather jetpack to keep momentum

or parachute

[zenith bear]

I haven’t studied that yet

[gritty falcon]

my suggestion is to go to the far east when setting up coal power and build it off the shore where theres lots of water and quite a few coal nodes right on site. the coal nodes that are futher inland are all near some pure iron nodes so thats a good place for setting up steel (and imo a good place for your base in general- just south of the oasis area)

[ornate saffron]

dunes is fine. lots of foilage for biomass.

many early game resources. you may need to trek for oil but the spire coast is not far

[elder skiff]

🫡 understood. Thank you

The main appeal was how flat it looks so building a big platform seems like it'll be easy

[normal orbit]

dunes look flat, but are anything but :p

[ornate saffron]

for flat the Grass lands and rocky desert are top

but if you wana make a skyfacility everything is flat ^_^

[zenith pecan]

The dunes is quite wavey, ideally you'd build on stilts if you want everything on one plane.

[gritty falcon]

but dunes are flat enough that platforms are easy to build right on top

[ornate saffron]

as long as you start on the highest dune

[gritty falcon]

yes

[normal orbit]

also, dont go sliding into caves in the dunes until you got explosves, you can get stuck :)

[ornate saffron]

but its not flat naturaly the grasslands are mostly flat. you can hover a foundation anywhere in 1.1 with nudging. and make anything flat

[zenith pecan]

I tend to build on stilts and have raised causeays for logistics in the dunes proper.

[ornate saffron]

I Personally like building with the enviroment in mind. Curving trains around trees, including a hill in my factory

[zenith pecan]

I'm going to chill and try to make something of my hub & space elevator today, need a home for my golden nut trophy and others.

[zenith bear]

I mercilessly destroy the environment

[mystic oriole]

Don't forget you could use the void. That's an option.

[ornate saffron]

My space elevator is down in the Grasslands void

[zenith bear]

Void?

[zenith pecan]

Hmm, I'm going to put my blueprint designer neat the space elevator 😄

[mystic oriole]

yes, void, you can glitch under the world and build a base there.

[zenith pecan]

Under the map where my tunnels are.

[zenith bear]

Didn’t know you could do that

[proven snow]

In addition to hypertube cannons that launch you (where you need a jetpack), you can also do a regular hypertube that's connected the entire way to where you want to go, but put a bunch of entrances at the start same as a launcher.

Makes you go through the hypertube like normal, except 10x as fast

[zenith bear]

So every entrance launches you with more speed?

I might just start tampering with them

[proven snow]

Yeah. I mean it's kind of a bug, but the idea is you put a bunch of entrances next to each other, and each one you go through speeds you up

Definitely look up a video or something, they're super common

[mystic oriole]

yes, it's handy for uphill and virtical tubes.

[zenith bear]

I hope the devs don’t remove them without making a replacement

A dedicated launching tube would be neat

[zenith pecan]

Lmao, no wonder I couldn't find one of the pure iron nodes, I built my blueprinter right on top of it 🤦‍♂️

[proven snow]

Honestly I doubt they will. They're pretty popular. And have been in the game forever

[ornate saffron]

no glitching needed. Many natural ways there

[zenith bear]

This game is seriously so impressive

[mystic oriole]

yes, but it's faster

[zenith bear]

It’s got so many layers

And I’m surprised how efficient the code is at not making computers explode

[ornate saffron]

like a onion some make you cry

[zenith bear]

Given how complex factories can get

[zenith bear]

So true

Also… this game supports servers? I thought multiplayer had to be single player worlds where you invite friends

[proven snow]

I've done dedicated servers through hosting sites before

I'm actually curious about that too

Though it might be more of a #satisfactory-experimental question?

[zenith sage]

Oh true, didn't notice that channel, I'll ask there

[ornate saffron]

#dedicated-servers

[random patrol]

don't enable Lumen if you cant handle it... what I saw can never be unseen and the game is ruined 😛

[zenith bear]

At this rate, I’m gonna ask a question about how to customize the FICSIT coffee machine and someone’s gonna direct me to the #coffee-machine-customization channel

[ornate saffron]

as with any unsupported features

[random patrol]

you misunderstand me

the lighting is pretty crazy with Lumen on, but the performance hit is a bit to much

machines are glowing and lights are actually illuminating nearby surfaces

[normal orbit]

lumen on experimental looks rather nice, signs are much brighter

[clear aspen]

Do yall have any anime recommendations? I need them so I can watch and play satisfactory

[random patrol]

Is Lumen still run on the CPU or did they change that?

[normal orbit]

still software

[random patrol]

do they have plans to fix that?

[normal orbit]

#satisfactory-experimental message loved how my assembler stacks looked

[random patrol]

I still got some GPU performance to spare it seems

those look nice

[eager palm]

They already fixed the bug, but people wanted them to work, so they wrote the behavior in manually during an engine update. It’s here to stay.

[random patrol]

I had some particle accelerators indoor and they light up the place when the rings glow

[ornate saffron]

i built a bunch in a cave with SAM. With no other lighting it was something from a horror movie.

spiders watching hanging from a root

[random patrol]

haha

[eager palm]

Oh god I hadn’t thought about exploring caves with Lumen on

[ornate saffron]

i only used Global illumination and it was great

[mortal ginkgo]

That is Lumen 🙂‍↕️

Well.. Lumen is a term to make it sound cool to investors because they know nothing kek

[white dawn]

I legit don't really like how the game looks with Lumen on, at least while playing. I admit it makes for good screenshots, especially for factories whose pioneers have spent effort to light things well, but I prefer without

[ornate saffron]

i got yelled at for calling it that and i choose not to deep dive the differences between all the advaced lighting options.

[mortal ginkgo]

Give me the phone number of the person that yelled at you.

[normal orbit]

the game literally says global illumnation in the settings :p

[ornate saffron]

im old school with some background in visual entertainment so i see it all as some sort of real time path tracing. But again apperently refering to it as that is triggering for some lol

[mortal ginkgo]

I will tell him to go to a cave with Stingers

[random patrol]

Yeah it does seem a bit blurry at times

[normal orbit]

i quite like using lumen, specially on moody-bright and maxed out

[ornate saffron]

as apparently someone has a copyright on their version of it called path tracer lol

[mortal ginkgo]

Love how some people are really easy to trigger... as someone who got chronic pain, I envy those people who can invent things to make themselves suffer lol

[normal orbit]

#screenshots message looks nice imo :)

[ornate saffron]

same i got arthritis in my spine and ankle as well as a curved spine. I live with pain. but Since i do i guess im used to it lol

[mortal ginkgo]

one day we might get better brother. for now, factory must expand

[proven snow]

That's what 40 years of backbreaking factory work will do to you

[mortal ginkgo]

yeah but who is gonna make screws?

[proven snow]

Oh I didn't mean that as an excuse for you to take a day off. Get back to work peasant!

[mortal ginkgo]

[zenith bear]

Dude hypertube cannons are ridiculous

[proven snow]

They're so much fun

[zenith bear]

You do slow down after a while though

[proven snow]

Gotta add more entrances

Or launch instead of going through a full tube

[normal orbit]

once you go past the playable boundry and your corpse hits the mountains way back :p

[coral marsh]

I will, from 3 pure limestone nodes

[proven snow]

I've played with them for a while though and at one point I felt like they were a bit too much, so I think on my next run I'm not gonna do any launching with them

[mortal ginkgo]

pure limestone nodes are overrated big dawg

[zenith bear]

I'm worried launches won't be precise

[proven snow]

If you slide jump into the entrance you also go a bit faster

[coral marsh]

Ik, ik, im just having fun

[normal orbit]

put a T6 belt before entrance and slide jump into the hypertube from it

[proven snow]

You get a good amount of influence using wasd and a jetpack, but yeah you kinda got try it out a few times to see how many entrances you need to go however far you want. BETTER TO START WITH TOO FEW than too many

It's mostly if you want to go really far though

[mortal ginkgo]

guys this game is not THAT big. you dont need to go another planet

[proven snow]

Can I though? I'd kinda like to start a factory on another planet

[sick falcon]

have i got the game for you

[coral marsh]

Correct, there is still the rest of this planet to discover

[mortal ginkgo]

Dyson Sphere Program, cool game.

[proven snow]

I tried it, didn't really hook me tho

[sick falcon]

star rupture

space engineers

both are more satisfactory-like

[zenith bear]

Space engineers is fun

[spare prism]

bro im so trigged rn my pipes to close to my one gen but not my other one i have to teardown 30 gens to move them over by one

[sick falcon]

dyson sphere program is more of a factorio-like imo

[normal orbit]

i dont think any of them are satisfactory like. they're good games, but none have what causes satisfactory to shine. decoration options

[zenith bear]

Space Engineers has tons of decoration options

[normal orbit]

true, but i also dont count that one as a factory automation game

more like a space sandbox

[zenith bear]

valid

[normal orbit]

was more meaning dsp, factorio, star rupture, foundry etc

[glacial drum]

While it does 85% of it is locked behind paid dlc. Swear some of its p2w aswell considering the damn conveyer port differences

Space Engineers was my go to before satisfactory hit consoles. Even after that for a bit as I didn’t realize for a while.

Automation is possible.. but it’s a hell of a lot of work to do much of anything in that game. Plus the whole more of a sandbox like Sappy said

[knotty bane]

is there any way to design stations such that you can have both multi-item trains and multi-item-output stations serving different trains? afaik you can have trains which carry multiple different items but the stations must always output all of its platforms to every train that enters.
for example, if i have a station outputting A, B, C

I can have a train that picks up any combination or all of A, B, C
but i cannot also have a train that picks up a different combination, e.g. only C from the same station

i was experimenting with a setup like this with 2 or more stations, so you can have a train that picks up some other resource D in car 1 from another station and can pick up A from this station in car 2, but its not that flexible and requires planning ahead which resource goes in platform 1 as the overlap, plus it takes up more space horizontally https://imgur.com/MjE3MTV

[mystic oriole]

I've had this problem before too.
You can set up loading/unloading but not both. You can tell it to unload or load only one product. But that's per station, you can use multi-car stations to even the issue.

[knotty bane]

yeah i wish you could specify per train which platforms to load/unload from

[unkempt blade]

I think it'd be possible but it's probably more trouble than it's going to be worth compared to just using multiple trains or different freight cars

[knotty bane]

idk i can probably get by with just using shorter trains for certain routes that need A and B for example

[glacial drum]

Theoretically you could use a buffer signal or whatever it’s called to unload everything, tell the train to stop for a few min, and then throw all of it through a smart splitter into your factory & back into another train station to reload the train. But I feel that’s more work than it’s worth and doesn’t really achieve a close enough effect

[normal orbit]

you can, just make enough engines so the car is where you wanan load/unload

[knotty bane]

oh like put multiple locomotives?

[normal orbit]

yes

[knotty bane]

to act as a buffer

thats smart

[brittle trail]

Hey! i just have a question.. Do I have to unlock the refineries first in order to be able to obtain the alternative recipes for pure ingots and wet concrete?
Or can i get them for example after phase 1?

[normal orbit]

yes

[brittle trail]

ty!

[ornate saffron]

rift breaker is a fun rts/ defense game

[glacial drum]

Iirc there is a specific recipe that you can get but not use before refineries isn’t there?

[normal orbit]

theres a few in the mam, but overall you need the tech before you can get recipes for it

[proven snow]

Tried it.

Enjoyed it. Though I didn't play for all too long

[normal orbit]

like you can unlock high speed connectors before you can make a manufacturer

[ornate saffron]

i beart it during Early access. I shoulf come back no that it has multiplayer

[knotty bane]

yeah this should work, the only downside is that your trains effectively become 1 car trains instead of 4 car so it might cause traffic issues or clog the unloading area

[glacial drum]

Wet concrete being one

[west python]

i play on pc with a x box controller

when i edit a sign the search function doesnt work

like search for a certain icon

i press the button but the search doesnt open

is this a bug or am i doing something wrong ?
button basically says "press select" to open search

but yeah when i press the button then nothing happens

[glacial drum]

It can be unlocked after tier 3 - coal power

[ornate saffron]

got use them for splitters \

[zenith bear]

Are trains the best method of long distance transport?

At least for phase 3

[mystic wolf]

hell yeah they are

[zenith bear]

Alr cool

I'll have to start messing with them

I'm at the point where I need the manufacturers, and recipes require resources from two different sides of the map

[mystic wolf]

especially if you make some blueprint for the rails, it will be much easier just to paste them and auto connect them on your route

[proven snow]

imo best method of long distance transport ever

At least bulk transport

[zenith bear]

Though I could probably find local nodes actually

[mystic wolf]

same mate

[simple pebble]

Yeah I remember getting it in my first ever run, before knowing refineries even existed. I was very confused

[zenith bear]

I need plastic and copper, and my copper factory is at the opposite end

But I might just scan for copper and build a second copper factory

[mystic wolf]

what are you aiming to produce?

[zenith bear]

Assuming my power budget can afford it

Computers I think

[mystic wolf]

oh nice, im about to do one myself, i was actually looking forward building it in the crater biome, you got plenty of oil nodes, and there is a copper node too (maybe more, i saw one so far)

normal vein

[zenith bear]

Yeah I just need to see what shape my factories are in

I'm using the oil nodes by the ocean

[ornate saffron]

so are you moving the plastic or are you moving the ore to your plastic prodcution ?

[zenith bear]

Trying to figure that out rn

either way I need to make sure the computers get to my main base

[ornate saffron]

why so? do you need them there? or can you build the part that needs computers where the computers are made?

[zenith bear]

Well

Multiple projects will need computers actually

Short term, I need 50 to complete the railway signals task

[mystic wolf]

my tattic is mainly moving ores to the fasctory, not parts you need in it. Then i made a railway connect to the factories to move all resources to my storage

[zenith bear]

Long term, I need them to construct phase 3 parts

[zenith bear]

You built smarter than I did. I have tiny satellite factories with tiny storage containers to collect materials

[mystic wolf]

oh nice area too, i chosed the crater just for the extra coal

[zenith bear]

I didn't plan that far ahead

[ornate saffron]

im building
ACU
AI limiters
Circuit boards
High speed connectors
Crystal oscillators
silica
quartz Crystal
and HMF all near blue crater then just shipping the ACU to the space elevator.

as it is the most dense form

[zenith bear]

And you use trains to do the transport?

[ornate saffron]

factory cart

[proven snow]

Nothing wrong with satellite factories

A megafactory can get awfully complicated if you're not a expert factory maker, as the game progresses

[mystic wolf]

well, there isn't a main way to build a factory, so its very personal, you just have to make sure your train can carry all the items needed and produced in a only trip, otherwise add an extra freight to fill

[zenith bear]

Yeah, but I didn't think to ship every material to storage

And have just one main storage base

[mystic wolf]

if you haven't discovered it yet, this site is prety usefull to sort out factories: https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production

[zenith bear]

I might check that out

[mystic wolf]

its the most useful things i saw since i started, you set your desired output, and it tells you exactly how many resources you will need, how many structure you will have to build and the power usage

[ornate saffron]

my approach is to have a dedicated line for Deminsional depot in the facility they are made.

Ive done Mall storage before to. nothing wrong with it. I learned a lot of logistic lessons and headaches doing it

[zenith bear]

I think that's what I do

I have each part kept in storage buffer containers and just yank materials out of them as they're needed

[ornate saffron]

I'm kind of against the communtiy saying dont do X

its a sandbox game.

I rather say here are the disadvantages and advatages. Giving people the information of what they are getting into. All the core lessons i made are doing the things the community warned me not to do lol

[mystic wolf]

true haha

[ornate saffron]

in general, say i want x/min for personal use. then that goes into a smart splitter "any" directed to a industrial storage "overflow" into a sink.

then from the sotrage i go into deminesional depots. Ill add more depos for high use items if i feel like i need more like concrete (or for me steel beams)

[jagged nymph]

almost done with my hmf factory but i doubt itll work first try without changes

[ornate saffron]

many times ive had to come raid my stel beam storage and fill several train cars for building bridges lol

[ornate saffron]

trouble shootign is part of the process ^_^

[mystic wolf]

GG!

btw, how many hmf should i produce per minute? the crazy amount of iron drove my crazy

so far i reached a 3 per minute rate

[jagged nymph]

as many as you want really, im making 10 per minute and im gonna use 5ppm of that for pcc but i dont really need that many, i just wanted to challenge myself

[ornate saffron]

@proven snow however many you need for your current use.

[mystic wolf]

holy

[jagged nymph]

im using 5 pure iron nodes for it lol

[zenith pecan]

I have 45 hmf per minute, mostly because I want fused and singularity cores.

[mystic wolf]

thats the problem, so far im good with that amount, but i have no idea how many im going to need the next tier

[jagged nymph]

damnn

[mystic wolf]

damn wow

[jagged nymph]

this would be so easy if i had mk6 belts, but i only have mk4 sooo.....

[mystic wolf]

wow, by chance you found a big pure deposit or your moving resources from different areas?

[mystic wolf]

thats a pain in the ass haha

[jagged nymph]

theres a place in northern forrest with 6 pure iron nodes right next to eachother

[proven snow]

Honestly haven't played for a year or so (waiting for next update to do a new run), so I don't remember how much you really need

[ornate saffron]

worry about that when oyu get there. Figuring it now will only add pressure and make the future feel unobtainable

[mystic wolf]

oh wow, the forest after the pink one?

[jagged nymph]

yeah

[mystic wolf]

thats a nice point of viewing things, it will for sure help, thanks mate

[ornate saffron]

its near the forest starting spawn. honestly my fav spawn

[mystic wolf]

nicee ill definitly check them out, thanks!

[mystic wolf]

got to try it after my first playthrough then!

[ornate saffron]

a lot of Phase parts are built from previous parts.

My first run i just moved parts from facility A to facility B to meet my needs

[weak bloom]

second hard drive gave me the alternative heavy encased frame recipe let's gooooooo

[jagged nymph]

i remember back in pre 1.0 you could spam v like 20 times then open the menu and choose the ore you want and it would instantly scan the entire map so you wouldnt have to wait for it to propogate

[ornate saffron]

sounds like you wanted it ^_^ enjoy

[jagged nymph]

not sure how i even figured this out lol

[weak bloom]

dang it also gave me quickwire stator, I want both LOL. but hmf is more important for now

[mystic wolf]

i saw, ill do that for both adaptive control units and modular engines, that for sure cut out some time

and resources

[zenith pecan]

Here's the working HMF factory and some of what's needed to support i: #design-and-architecture message

[ornate saffron]

there is a lot to be said for the positives of Independent facilites. But as a new pioneer it can make it feel repititive. as you just made Smart plating for phase 1. Doing it again in phase 3 when you want to experience new things feels bad

[mortal ginkgo]

I got fair amount from 7 doggos indeed

[elder skiff]

Thought i found a crazy good spot just to find out this is just the normal place people go for 😭😭

[spice osprey]

The fact that the map is static and hand crafted by the devs means there's a lot of designated "correct" spots to build certain things

And given the type of game this is, a lot of people like to look things up online, so these "correct" spots are pretty well known

[elfin smelt]

why would being "the place people go for" disqualify a spot as "crazy good"

[ornate saffron]

it doesn't. just less hyped to him in the context of a wider community

[spice osprey]

There's joy to be had in figuring something out for yourself, so realizing that the path was actually laid out for you and you're just following in other people's footsteps can feel deflating sometimes.

[elfin smelt]

If it isn't check out #1038092680493801533 or the satisfactory forums

[jagged nymph]

i think my hmf factory is finished, just need to wait for the manifolds to saturate (which will take FOREVER) before i know if it works

[fiery pewter]

Lemme guess, 0.2 per minute?

[jagged nymph]

10

[fiery pewter]

Ooh damn

Nice

[mystic wolf]

GG nice!

[fiery pewter]

I have gotten in that phase where I want to plan the f out of my save

[jagged nymph]

im estimating it will take like 2hours for all the manifolds to saturate

[ornate saffron]

manifold wind up can be a pain. In the future mayhaps try and do one section at a time hooking up the resources early that way it can backup as you work on the next part. grabbing the full stacks from the previous machine and hand feeding them into the machines you just build lowering wind up time

[jagged nymph]

yeah i thought of that but i didnt have it planned out really so i had to keep moving sections around

[ornate saffron]

ah. im big on doing most the planning before i open the game. Everyone has there playstyle though

[spice osprey]

You can speed it up by turning a machine off until its input belt is saturated

[jagged nymph]

yeah thats alot of work when i have like 400 machines though

[velvet thorn]

I do that all the time when making large scale factories bc it just helps to see what is connected to what

[spice osprey]

What about doing it via the power lines?

[normal orbit]

doesnt really speed it up, speeding it up would be chucking stacks into the machine

[jagged nymph]

yeah ill prolly do that

cause most of the machines are just for the basic iron stuff

[zenith bear]

Is there a way to bulk switch on and off machines

[normal orbit]

the bigger the stack size the slower the manifold warms up

[jagged nymph]

power switch connected to the power pole the machines are connected to

[ornate saffron]

power swtiches

[zenith bear]

Oh! Couldn’t you set the production speed to 1% until the manifold saturates?

[ornate saffron]

yup

[normal orbit]

yes

[zenith bear]

That should speed it up quite a bit

[jagged nymph]

yes but again, i dont want to do that on 200 machines

ill just afk ill just fill up the inputs with stacks from my inventory and then work on other stuff while it saturate

[zenith bear]

And I take it there’s not a way to bulk adjust the settings of a group of machines

[jagged nymph]

nope

[zenith bear]

The devs should look into implementing a tool like that. Something like a universal control panel

Space Engineers has a system that works like that

[jagged nymph]

its not really neccesary though

[zenith bear]

For situations like these it could be helpful

[normal orbit]

you can just leave it, go build next thing, check back an hour later, see if it works or not

[jagged nymph]

yep thats what imma do

[ornate saffron]

We have the tools you just need to plan out in advnace. When you think in advance it is easy segrate each facility you make using a power priority switch. allowing you to turn on and off power remotely .

[zenith bear]

I’m talking efficiency modification

If you could bulk adjust the speed of a group of machines in a factory, it would help speed up load balancing

[normal orbit]

would do nothing for load balancing, would speed up a manifold

[zenith bear]

Since machines don’t load materials while they’re switched off

[zenith bear]

That’s what I meant

[normal orbit]

but like, theres always something to do, so no need to sit and watch a manifold

[zenith bear]

It’s just a pain if you’re working with a crap ton of machines in a factory and need to constantly adjust how they work, but every adjustment requires 2 hours for the manifold to load

[ornate saffron]

Document shortcuts work

look at a machine ctrl+c to copy settings, ctrl + V to paste.

this effects all functions other then standby

[zenith bear]

They help

[normal orbit]

dont think i've ever adjusted a machine :p (after setting up in the first place)

[zenith bear]

Don’t you still have to open the settings panel though

[normal orbit]

just do the math right and build that

[zenith bear]

I’ve adjusted a simple line of assemblers used to make tier 3 parts so they load steel parts from my factory

[normal orbit]

if i need 40 smelters, i just set one up, then middle mouse click copy it

or just make blueprints

[ornate saffron]

for me its optimzing the tools we have not wishing for more

[zenith bear]

True

[finite cairn]

T-T I feel stupid while playing this game

[normal orbit]

its just basic math :p

[ornate saffron]

i feel stupid when i spend hours on a issue and someone solves it with minimal knowledge

[finite cairn]

HUZZAH! Self sustaining power!

[ornate saffron]

PRAISE THE SUN

in your case coal i imagine

[finite cairn]

[T]/ PRAISE THE SUN

oh right, discord. also, yeah, coal :D

[sinful roost]

I run my factory based on vibes and not math.

[ornate saffron]

[sterile blade]

Actually no, you can copy-paste as soon as you have the message to "interact with machine"

Ie: you can run by a line of machines holding CTRL and spamming V

Though, I partly agree with the overall sentiment... I think we could use some tools to control or monitor many things at once (even just some "global stats" would be quite helpful)...

[twin parcel]

#screenshots message

should i expand the pipe bus vertically or horizontally?

[leaden turret]

looks at scim

[jagged nymph]

huh thats strange

some coal wasnt moving to the next belt segment until i deleted and replaced the belt

[distant grove]

just noticed the game has co op? thinking about getting it, is there a looking for group page im missing?

[jagged nymph]

#1201555265942724758

[distant grove]

wow i actually was blind

thank you

[jagged nymph]

get ready to sink thousands of hours into this

[weak bloom]

having that global statistics+metrics view in Endfield is actually god tier and I really wish satisfactory had that. I'm sure the game knows what's being produced in the entire world because obviously it's, y'know, producing it. would be super nice to have that cleaned up and presented in an interface in some way

[unkempt blade]

There's a statistics tab in SCIM that shows some of that stuff

[twin parcel]

uh why did i even bothered to fill up the entire lake with water extractors , kinda overkill , and if i wanna use them for pure ingots recipe , kinda have pipe them and rebuild the existing factories which sucks .

[weak bloom]

yeah but you gotta like, import the save and do that out of game right

[unkempt blade]

correct

[weak bloom]

honestly that kinda goes even to my point, the save has all of that information available so it's just a matter of cleaning it up and presenting it in-game. would be really nice to pull up an interface even if it's just at the Hub or something, where you can see what your world is producing

[normal orbit]

20500 silica/min, hm thats a bit much, do i wanna make that for 4000 more aluminium ingots a min 🤔

probably yes :p

[unkempt blade]

yeah, you need to turn it all into screws too

[last bluff]

I love math

[normal orbit]

my factories are screw free zones :p

[unkempt blade]

yeah it would be much easier to see my screwmaxing gains that way

[last bluff]

screws are a hoax

[unkempt blade]

Yeah there's a lot of anti-screw propaganda online. It's really just item bigotry and I won't stand for it

[last bluff]

I forgot which recipes use screws

[unkempt blade]

all the best ones

[normal orbit]

you just like screwing around, us others are serious pioneers :p

[last bluff]

oh right, I don't even use screws for reinforced iron plates

but that's a possible recipe

[unkempt blade]

See this is what I'm talking about. Just irrational item hate! It's 2026 be better!

[normal orbit]

i'm screwist and proud to be

[slender folio]

what would have my train station timetable work once and then the next time not be able to reach the station?

[white dawn]

-# wtb "Strongly Secured" mod which adds alt recipes which use screws for every resource in the game

[jagged nymph]

already foudn multiple mk1 belts in my hmf factory

Set up a line of screws, hook it up to a sink, watch and enjoy for hours

[unkempt blade]

are there trains stopped on any intersections/tracks on the route?

[slender folio]

uhhh let me check

[white dawn]

Strongly Secured Dissolved Silica

[leaden turret]

-# need screws to make screws?

[white dawn]

It's like an early-game DMR/DMC loop!

Should totally have NOOP recipes as well. 60/min screws in, 60/min screws out. It's like an extremely small storage container which requires power!

[unkempt blade]

metascrews are the future

[leaden turret]

self-sealing stem screws

[slender folio]

twas a bug, reloaded and it worked

[white dawn]

There's a reference for the nerds among us. :D

[normal orbit]

one possibility is you started train in one direction and once it completed the route its suddenly facing other way and now stations are facing wrong way in relation to the train

[unkempt blade]

how much yamok sauce can I exchange them for in the awesome shop?

This game is crazy yo

How do yall get so good at building?! Im a good builder in games that have building (like minecraft) but I can’t even recognize how things are done when I see these other builds

[glacial scaffold]

Lots of time and mental fatigue

[acoustic cobalt]

I don’t know if I’m gonna put this game down

[jagged nymph]

you wont

[pine bough]

222 tickets what to get? i got the architecture foundations wall i wanted and most other stuff i wanted now i have 222 tickets what to get?

[normal orbit]

everything in the awesome shop :)

[pale tree]

you could get ||your drivers license revoked||

that is alot of tickets

[acoustic cobalt]

Give it to me!!!

[pine bough]

i just sinked all of my bio chemical scultpers for millions of points

10s of millions

i had MANY

[acoustic cobalt]

I’ve been doing the alien point things

[leaden matrix]

Best part of open factories 🥹

[normal orbit]

huh havnt checked my tickets in awhile :p

[west jackal]

They should add like "artifical" sloops to awesome shop that are like 25 or 50 tickets each

Im not sure how ficsit could manufacture the sloops though...

[normal orbit]

#screenshots message almost two nuts :p

[pale tree]

i have had two since before i even started playing

[normal orbit]

damn, bad spawn rng, i got none

yea

they 1000 tickets each

the caves part

[simple pebble]

You generally have to look for caves if you want large quantities

[naive flax]

if im producing a lot of power but not using like half of it, am i wasting that power (im using biofuel)

[ornate saffron]

Biogenerators will go to standby so they do not waste fuel

[naive flax]

good to know thanks

[normal orbit]

not opposed to the idea, but i think price should be 100-200 per sloop

[reef basin]

you can't waste anything in this game

[naive flax]

well it looks like every single one of my biomass burners are consuming fuel even tho like 4 of them would probably fuel my grid

[reef basin]

but slower

[naive flax]

ah.

[ornate saffron]

Just keep a eye on your maximum capacity and feed the buffers and your good

Its been a while but I think you can load
Balance 15 biogenerators with mark2 belts and as long as you keep the biomass coming they keep burning.

Most ppl get to the next power stage before that is needed though

[sterile blade]

Imagine being able to plug those numbers in signs

[glacial drum]

I think a higher price would fit but yea it would be nice to see them in the shop. The only thing I can think of to do so unmodded would be to use a dupe glitch and then delete an equal ratio of tickets to what you made.

[leaden turret]

isn't that one of the things the ficsit networks mod does?

Im pretty sure my brain blocks those like a noise filter

[leaden turret]

me: jokes about people modding booba into satisfactory
satisfactory clone: hold my beer

[sterile blade]

I don't think it's an "out of the box" feature though...
It might mean manually wiring all of the machines one wants stats from 🤷‍♂️
(And then coding how ti handle the collected data... That mod is a lot of work iirc)

[leaden turret]

hopefully you can wire them to the throughput monitors and you'd only need to wire up the outgoing belts

[weak bloom]

Yeah arknights factory gacha lol

[naive flax]

i play it its fun

[sterile blade]

That could probably be a thing, yeah
(Though, you might be able to skip the monitor entirely and just... Monitor the belt directly?)

with the grid system it feels more like a factorio clone than a satisfactory clone

I wear many hats here

But I work for a company that supplies school furniture.

I cover management for vacations, use the forklift. Manage labour, manage inventory, load and unload containers and trucks

[gloomy tusk]

my school hasnt gotten school funiture in like 5 or 8 years

[ornate saffron]

Budgets are tight.

And furniture not made of toxic chemicals is expensive

[gloomy tusk]

its mostly because people at my school kick in doors on the toilets and vape in there

so they spend all their money on fixing that

[leaden turret]

I think I should head back to bed if my brain somehow misread the word "cemetary" into this sentence.

[stuck escarp]

has anyone used the curve builder mod

[ornate saffron]

Bigger then texas

[gloomy tusk]

me

such a good qol mod

[stuck escarp]

do you know if there is a mode for the circle builder where i can have it go in intervals of 1 instead of 2

108 sides is slightly too small of a circle

and 110 is slightly too big

but it goes in steps of 2

[ornate saffron]

I believe curve builder makes circles via angle °

[stuck escarp]

wdym

[normal orbit]

angle between foundations

you can do 5 degree increments without mods

[ornate saffron]

I dont have it as I essentially play non modded

But from I can tell it makes curves based on the angle. You hold caps lock and mouse wheel to change the angle of the curve. In circle mode the angle changes the size of the circle

[gloomy tusk]

curve builder makes it easier because of the zoop way

[last bluff]

ZOOP

[stuck escarp]

i could do that but i would need very precise angles

[ornate saffron]

They are all 1° increments

[stuck escarp]

if i need 109 sides it would need to be 3.30275229358 degrees

[normal orbit]

i know, tried the mod, its nice. but i'm currently on no mods cuz i wanna see and learn all vanilla can do :p

[ornate saffron]

I researched the mod you told me about lol

[stuck escarp]

im using the circle mode

[gloomy tusk]

which one

[ornate saffron]

The one you and I are talking about silly lol

[stuck escarp]

it makes a circle around a centre point with the number of sides you select

[gloomy tusk]

cureve buidlerr?

[ornate saffron]

Yes

[gloomy tusk]

how did i mess this up this badly

[stuck escarp]

#screenshots message

[ornate saffron]

I understand.

[stuck escarp]

impresvnve spelling

uh

thats ironic

[gloomy tusk]

that looks cool

[stuck escarp]

it would look even cooler if i could put the pillars in the right spot

#screenshots message

this is it with 108 sides

110 is also slightly too big

there are mod configs that chance the angle increments but nothing about the number of sides

im assuming its to keep the circle symmetrical on at least one side

but i dont really care about symmetry on a grid level for this cus its just decorative the whole rest of the build is all on grid

[sick falcon]

how much more power intensive does the game get in phase 5

i currently use 40k MW finishing phase 4

[ornate saffron]

one machine can use up to 20gw

overclocked and slooped

[sick falcon]

so my 150gw probably won’t be enough got it

[ornate saffron]

it very well maybe fine really depends on how expansive you are. you dont need a lot of these machines. and you dont need to sloop or overclock at all

[reef basin]

*GW

[sick falcon]

yea yea 40 GW same thing

[last bluff]

at tier 5? sorry to say this but that's a bit ambitious for most players I assume

[reef basin]

not really same thing, as you can't write kMW as per SI specifications

[ornate saffron]

my apologies just checked the most thirsty machien uses 2gw without overclock or sloops

so thats 5gw max OC plus sloop

[last bluff]

not related to this convo but something I wondered, is writing "iB" as a "bibyte" a valid notation?

[sick falcon]

i thought overlocking increased power output non linearly

[ornate saffron]

it likely does, the wiki only gives you the 100% or less graph. I dont know what the math is off hand

so i overestimated to be safe

thats my default setting when unsure over estimate the negative

Under estimate the positive

[last bluff]

300TW per light

[ornate saffron]

satisfactory ++ signs use power

[last bluff]

satisfactory+ mentioned

[normal orbit]

should be called screws + with how many you need to just make things like foundations

[west jackal]

would it? would it be that op if they were 50 tickets each? late game tickets are much harder to come by, but if they made them like 100 tickets each, i doubt anyone would be able to spend more than 5k tickets, so thats only like 50% more sloops on the map?

[ornate saffron]

yes!

But if you want more there is dup glitches or better yet you can just add them to your inventory using advanced game settings.

[normal orbit]

or scim

its your game, do what works for you :p

[reef basin]

yes, since you can eventually double everything and have everything run on free power

[ornate saffron]

the amount in the game by default is a active choice. you can make power from them or make extra parts at the cost of power.

[ornate saffron]

general chat. with all these console players i just assume not everyone can acess SCIM

[green fiber]

the joy comes not from infinite power but this limited amount of infinite potential

[toxic lichen]

how many screws/pm can i possible produce

[normal orbit]

probably well over 100.000/min

[green fiber]

at least 4

maybe even 5

[reef basin]

slightly over 5mil, without slooping

[toxic lichen]

oooooo

[ornate saffron]

there is a weekly stream that asks this

#streams-and-videos message

[toxic lichen]

oh?
wonderful

[languid vine]

Ello

[toxic lichen]

i assume using steel screws reciple

[languid vine]

Still have this game downloaded but haven’t started playing yet lmao

[reef basin]

using all the recipes

[toxic lichen]

well yes
but the majority from steel screws

[ornate saffron]

no clue. knowing it exists makes me smile but ill never watch

[reef basin]

no, majority from normal screws

[languid vine]

How easy is this game to start? I only see people’s crazy factories online and it doesn’t seem easy to get into, but yall can tell me

[toxic lichen]

since steel screws can go to what
1300/min per constructor

[last bluff]

I'm building da screwless foundations

[toxic lichen]

take your time
go at your own pace

[reef basin]

well, majority of machines

[toxic lichen]

ahhh

[languid vine]

Okok

[reef basin]

650

[languid vine]

So is there an objective we gotta reach or just build stuff sandbox style?

[toxic lichen]

wondering if i slooped my steel screws then

[last bluff]

apart from making screws?

[toxic lichen]

complete the space elevator stuff / milestones

beyond that
the world is your oyster

[jagged nymph]

its not too hard to get into, most peoples factories do not look good for a LONG time. some people spend 100s of hours making factories look good, some people (like me) just make stuff that works even if its just a slab of concrete with machines. Its easy to learn how to play the game, but it takes time to master

[toxic lichen]

get a lizard doggo
pet a manta
collect slugs

[languid vine]

Sweet

[ornate saffron]

192 without oc or sloops

[languid vine]

So it’s kind of like Space Engineers?

[toxic lichen]

ah so i did have the mfs slooped

[ornate saffron]

this is best #satisfactory-experimental message

[jagged nymph]

eh not really

[languid vine]

Ah ok

[toxic lichen]

wait
i can supplement aluminum into steel beams
i need that lowk

aluminum production seems like its pretty easy to produce a lot

[jagged nymph]

basically the main thing is there is a space elevator. there are multiple "phases" of the space elevator, when you get to a new phase, you unlock new parts to make and machines to make them. The way you progress to a new phase is by making some complicated parts for the elevator

[ornate saffron]

Aluminum to rods to screws is the ultimate input vs output screw chain

[normal orbit]

you also kinda need a lot of aluminium in the late game :p

[jagged nymph]

some people like to automate a TON of the space elevator parts per minute, some people make like, 1 per minute and just wait a little bit longer for their factory to make all the required parts

[toxic lichen]

i wanna rid myself of screws eventually

the ultimate sushi killer

[real sequoia]

GUYS

[jagged nymph]

what

[ornate saffron]

Depends on goals. One bauxite node is often enough for normal runs

[toxic lichen]

i just fed slooped machines and called it a day

[real sequoia]

[zealous urchin]

aluminum casing maxing? class

[toxic lichen]

made like 4 manufacturers

[jagged nymph]

that works too

[real sequoia]

got em lol

[toxic lichen]

my main purpose for aluminum is lowk
mk5 belts ;-;

[last bluff]

oh I just realized I was actually using screws, I just never ran out
that makes my earlier statement invalid

[languid vine]

Ahhhh okay

[real sequoia]

turborifle ammo???

[keen vault]

is 3 normal oil nodes enough for power and some plastic/rubber in tier5/6?

[toxic lichen]

chief
i dont even have the rifle yet

[last bluff]

yes

[real sequoia]

and you are in phase 3???

[toxic lichen]

3 normal is like
900/pm right?

[toxic lichen]

im lazy big man

[real sequoia]

do you have a turbofuel plant?

[languid vine]

Game sounds lowk fun for my ADHD. I’ll like hyper fixate on this game for like a week and then I’ll probably play space engineers and then probably play another game and then probably go back to American truck simulator because ADHD lmao

[toxic lichen]

no :>

[real sequoia]

how tf do you have power?

[jagged nymph]

my next project is a 100GW turbofuel plant

[keen vault]

its like 360 per min but i can prob oc anyway

[languid vine]

We can make our own power plants n shit?

So you can make stuff from scratch???

[toxic lichen]

yea so max oc
900/pm

im only using 600pm rn

[keen vault]

should i use 2 node for power and 1 for plastic/rubber?

[toxic lichen]

uhhhh
depends on your needs

i barely have rubber and plastic being produced rn tbh

[languid vine]

You can overclock that?? Cool lmao

[toxic lichen]

can overclock just about anything

[keen vault]

i want high power tbh and plastic/rubber dont rlly seem to have much uses

[languid vine]

Interesting

[toxic lichen]

as long as its producing something

[toxic lichen]

use blue crater for your power
check out spiral / gold coast for plastic and rubber

[jagged nymph]

so when you make a factory, you start with raw resource nodes (eg. iron, copper, sulfur, coal, etc) and then you use conveyor belts to feed that into machines which process it into new materials. some machines take in one item and spit out one more (like a smelter turning iron ore into iron ingots, or a constructor turning iron ingots into iron plates) and some take in more than one (like an assembler taking in iron plates and screws to make reinforced iron plates) etc. Most forms of power use some kind of resource to generate power (for example coal generators take in coal and water to make power)

[languid vine]

So making machines OC makes them produce more?

[toxic lichen]

makes them run faster

[jagged nymph]

yeah overclocking machines makes them run faster, but use more power

[keen vault]

yes but takes more power

[toxic lichen]

so technically yes
but increases power consumption by a lot

[normal orbit]

use more to make more, its literally just reducing number of machines at cost of power (and shards). the exception is material producers like miners and extractors where you just get more resources from them

[real sequoia]

just use all of the sulfer in blue crator lake

[toxic lichen]

if only i could sloop a miner

[real sequoia]

you get 80k MW out of that

[toxic lichen]

plus
better belts

[keen vault]

i lwk dont know where im kinda lost (i rlly dont know where this is)

[real sequoia]

if you use turbofuel

[lost rapids]

Welp

[languid vine]

Hell yeah alr

[languid vine]

Okok

[toxic lichen]

yea links are a no no

[last bluff]

god I wish for new bigger monsters so I can xeno-zap them to death

[languid vine]

Apparently so are gifs haha

[jagged nymph]

anyway, if you put in some time to learn this game im sure youll love it. I havnt met anyone that tried this game and didnt enjoy it

[real sequoia]

do you have hypah tubes?

[toxic lichen]

indeed they are

[lost rapids]

It's a really good one.
You can find the whole album on Spotify !

[languid vine]

I got it a couple weeks ago but haven’t gotten to playing it yet bc I’m hyper fixated on ATS rn 🤣🤣

[lost rapids]

I got canceled xD

[languid vine]

Which is weird they give us the option to send them just
Not embed them

[toxic lichen]

yes

[last bluff]

that's how Discord works

[normal orbit]

its not tho

[jagged nymph]

oh and theres something used for transportation called hypertubes which launch you through tubes to get to your destination but people figured out a bug (that the devs then made a feature) where if you put a bunch of hypertubes right in front of eachother you can get launched out the end at super high speeds and like fly across the map

AND you can setup train networks to transport materials around the world

[languid vine]

If they don’t wanna embed our gifs, they could disable the option to send them, cus that’s also how discord works lol

[reef basin]

you don't "send gifs" tho
you send links

[languid vine]

Siiiiick alr I gotta try this game soon

[jagged nymph]

and theres drones lategame to transport materials

[languid vine]

Well you can “send gifs” just they have embeds disabled for some reason. Just disable gifs all together then lmao what’s the point of it if only the links will go lol

[languid vine]

I’ve heard ab trains and stuff but not drones

[dreamy nest]

There is no way to disable sending links because it's just sending text

[languid vine]

Yes there is

[pale tree]

ban the word "http"

[languid vine]

I have them disabled in my server in certain channels.

[reef basin]

disabling embeds is built-in discord feature
disabling gif search isn't

[dreamy nest]

Actually I lied, they could ban you and then you couldn't send anything

[jagged nymph]

you could ban http and .com and tenor

[languid vine]

You can disable the ability to add all and any media including gifs. It’s in the settings

[reef basin]

that's embeds
and doesn't prevent link gifs

[dreamy nest]

I'm going to ban myself. There's never anything sensible going on here

[normal orbit]

it does actually

[jagged nymph]

they did that in this server, which is why the gif link doesnt embed

[languid vine]

I’ve created and currently moderate servers, I know it’s a thing you can just entirely disable sending gifs

[jagged nymph]

which they did in this server

[last bluff]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1423346009895075931/1476333339299283234/thfvGfuxAIv7qSRwPbK.gif

[languid vine]

You can get rid of the embeds too if you’re good enough of a mod

[normal orbit]

you can still search for gifs, but with that setting on, you can't even post a link or image or anytthing

[jagged nymph]

yeah they did this in this server

[last bluff]

is that visible server-wide? and that's an actual file, it just doesn't show of course

[languid vine]

Clearly not if the gifs still send “unembeded” I have this entirely disabled in channels it’s possible if you’re a good enough mod

[reef basin]

why are we even talking about that?

[languid vine]

My gif didn’t embed

Started from that

[reef basin]

yeah because embeds are disabled here (for the exact purpose you said)

[long crescent]

Did they fix the hoverpack bug that turns off factory's?

[jagged nymph]

you can not send a gif in discord (unless you send the file directly like ink guzzler did a second ago). When you use the discord built in gif search, it just sends a link to the gif on tenor. Then, if the server has embeds enabled, it looks at that link and notices theres a gif there and renders the gif

but what you are sending is just a link, just lik if i type https://google.com

[languid vine]

Yes ik you can also disable links being sent too if you’re a good enough mod, there’s ways, im just saying. Not tryna start beef or an argument yall sorry lol my b

[reef basin]

but we don't want that here

[jagged nymph]

true but there are other uses for links

[reef basin]

(and yes, you can disable links, but that isn't "disable gifs entirely")

[languid vine]

Keyword block “tenor” that easy

[jagged nymph]

yeah that would work

[languid vine]

That’s how I do it

Just block tenors key words

[jagged nymph]

well anyway, hope you enjoy the game

[last bluff]

Why doesn't the client hide send gifs is what I wanna know

If you ever saw every hidden channel or if you were able to talk in a server you're banned from, you know a lot of stuff is hidden client-side-only anyway

[languid vine]

Kind of the same thing for servers you own. It’s different for members than owners/mods

[last bluff]

I mean purely UI

[languid vine]

I have three of my own servers and mod in a fourth

I mean me as a member can see a whole lot here too lol

I got ways and that’s just how I moderate my servers

[last bluff]

I doubt you can mod Discord into being a competent platform. If you did, add me so Light Mode can actually be good

[reef basin]

That doesn't block gifs tho

[languid vine]

Vencord

[simple wing]

when shipping ore across long distances, how do I make sure the 600 ore p/m arrive at the destination the same as if its mined at 600 p/m

[languid vine]

Blocking the keywords in gif links will block them from going to chat

Trust

[reef basin]

I can just host them myself

can't block all the possible domains I can buy lol

[last bluff]

There's only 2 light modes in the in-app indexed list which aren't outdated and both aren't light mode but just semi-transparent

[languid vine]

No just keywords related to gifs not the whole domain

[reef basin]

what keywords?

[languid vine]

Vencord has better themes

I’m using a fallout 4 terminal theme

[reef basin]

how is me posting arbitrary url detected as gif/not gif?

[languid vine]

Tenor, stuff like that. Tenor is the only one I have blacklisted and it’s worked so far

[last bluff]

I've used Plenty Vencord and nah

The best looking ones are outdated

[reef basin]

yeah but that doesn't "block gifs", that just blocks tenor

[languid vine]

Or just don’t work properly

[languid vine]

Yes but in a way it stops them from being sent in general

It’ll flag the message from being sent

It’s probably not the best way but it’s working for me so far

[reef basin]

yeah but I can just use other gif provider than tenor

[languid vine]

Fair

That’s where you just put other providers in the black list then

[last bluff]

Automod permaban for messages with :// would help a bit

[reef basin]

hence my point "discord can't block gifs"

[languid vine]

That too

[summer coral]

ionized fuel acts as a gas instead of a liquid right?

[swift turret]

yes

[reef basin]

well... is a gas

[reef basin]

and that's where I host the gifs myself

[swift turret]

best way is to use the discord automod to stop all links with http and allow certain links if you wanna talk that

[languid vine]

Also fair

[summer coral]

Ty

[swift turret]

regex is by far the best at moderation, you can allow certain links containing a phrase

used it all the time to stop bots from spamming those spam links

[covert quarry]

is there a way to get pipes to flow vertically really easy? like in terms of placing them down vertically

[reef basin]

pump

[ornate saffron]

yup thats what pumps are for

[covert quarry]

ik i meant when placing them down😅

[last bluff]

git+ssh://

[ornate saffron]

youll have to me more specific.
"
I place a pump use horizontal to vertical place the pipe. going from pump to where i need it then im good. add aditional pumbps if needed

[swift turret]

discord.gg is also a valid regex

[last bluff]

Would block a lot of spam yes

[covert quarry]

i need the pipelines to go up vertically upon a long distance, and my only way now is to use temporary foundations so that i can place them down vertically

[hybrid nymph]

If you're trying to put pipelines vertical, put a pipeline Mark II pump every 40 m, pipeline headlift DOES NOT stack

If using pipeline mark ones, you need to use a pump every 20 m

[pliant prawn]

What news this week? Any highlights from the stream I could know?

1.2 related stuff?

[ornate saffron]

stay tuned for friday annouements

[pliant prawn]

If you haven't already, I found it very useful to make a vertical facing pipe junction in the Blueprint designer. Gives you a nice target to aim for.

[normal orbit]

50m on mk2 pump

there is a snap point indicator on the pipe

[pliant prawn]

me, glued to screen Friday then 🫪

[normal orbit]

just rebuild pipe after if you do place pump on pipe

[surreal ingot]

@stuck escarp mod?
#screenshots message

[pliant prawn]

That's gotta be a mod. The object counter if nothing else.

[normal orbit]

curve builder mod

[mortal solar]

is there a mod that fixes the annoying blueprint conveyor connection bug?

[ornate saffron]

yes we had a convo regarding that phot a hour agho in this forum

[ornate saffron]

So far ive done all my curves unmodded a pain but doable

[normal orbit]

its not so bad if you blueprint segments

[pliant prawn]

I got a curve builder mod 😤 it's called hard work, studying the techniques of the masters, and a lot of hard work! 🗿... ... ... And a good bit of souls crushing time

[ornate saffron]

my comment was to discredit modders. I will go modded at some point., but im not there yet

[mortal solar]

segments of what? i don't mean the connection between the blueprints. i mean when i place conveyors into a build and save it as blueprint and then build it, some connections are not connected even though they appear to be. also, the unconnected conveyors don't get deleted when you clear blueprint in the desinger.

[normal orbit]

segments of a curve

[mortal solar]

ah, sorry

i'm so desperate and salty about this

[stuck escarp]

HELLO

oops caps

[ornate saffron]

we were talking about something else.

I Have4 yet to experience this issue. Have you checked #1038092680493801533

[stuck escarp]

yes mod

[normal orbit]

cant help you, never seen that issue, so wouldnt know how to fix it

[stuck escarp]

curve builder

[surreal ingot]

Thanks

[stuck escarp]

np

[pliant prawn]

I don't do mods. I don't think it's good for gaming culture on principle. I tried them out a few times but I find its just be too much of a cheat. It's like that saying "if players could optimize the fun out of a game, they will." You do you and all that, some of them do look really interesting.

[mortal solar]

i have and people mostly complained about conveyor lifts, which seems to be fixed after, is not what i experienced.

[stuck escarp]

very good mod i love it

[normal orbit]

conveyor lifts with splitters or mergers on them do not get deleted with the blueprint, so if you remove blueprint you need to remove the lifts manually after, if you dont and place a blueprint ontop of the lifts you'll have double lifts and they prob get connected to wrong one

[ornate saffron]

the mods i am looking are just quality of life stuff. like easy curves, infinite zoop which lets you zoop in two directions at once and such.

Time of day controls (this is the only mod i have atm as the game created to much strain on my eyes)

Curved Belts used to be a mode until 1.1 added it

[smoky trench]

are there any factory designers other than satistools

[mortal solar]

wat? restrictions that doesn't arise from how gameplay is engineered aren't usually fun and mods are a great fix cuz devs either don't care or don't have the time to fix them.

[ornate saffron]

satisfactor modular is free on steam and there is SCIM

[normal orbit]

pen and paper and a calculator :p

[ornate saffron]

thjis is one of the prime choices

[mortal solar]

by deleting what I meant was: when I build something inside the blueprint thingy to be mass printed later, i go into the machine's console and click "clear whatever" and some conveyors don't get cleaned.

[pliant prawn]

That is too broad a statement to use. It defeats itself even. Restrictions breed creativity

[reef basin]

what more are you looking for than sftools?

[mortal solar]

yea but it's not fun when you spend a good chunk of time for a little curved foundation

simple as

it's pointless to call something a restriction when you can just do it vanilla albeit painfully, such as curves, infinite zoop etc.

[pliant prawn]

Like I said, do you y'know. For me "easy curves" was the end achievement of knowing how to make them. Understanding them at a mechanical depth that allows me to build in harmony with the environment and the told available in like a yin and yang. They were hard, but practice had made them "easy".

[normal orbit]

theres also the issue of game updates to consider when using mods. specially one thats on experimental right now which updates the game engine which bricks most mods. so you'd have to wait for mod authors to update the mods which can take any amount of time. and you might not be able to load your save without said mods.

[smoky trench]

liquid biofuel calculations bc theres no machine for it and satistools wont calculate it and im too lazy to do it myself

[reef basin]

there's machine for it

just input some biomass

[mortal solar]

thankfully satisfactory never had updates that frequently and when it had, it was game changing

[smoky trench]

theres no machine that produces mycelia or leaves/wood so it wont calculate it in satistools

[reef basin]

yeah, so input leaves or wood

[pliant prawn]

I know the opposite to be true. That time is well spent and the reward is an in depth understanding of what I built from years of practice. Building a curve is like a tea ceremony. I could just press a button to make tea, it might even taste good. But a tea ceremony is an experience. Playing a game is an experience. I don't want to press a button to skip the game just for okay tasting tea.

[proven snow]

I just made a bunch of fuel plants

Didn’t bother with turbo until the final tier I think

[mortal solar]

there's a separate input tab

[normal orbit]

cuz theres no machine which can produce those, theres machines which USE them

[smoky trench]

well idk if i was doing anything wrong but it wasnt in the selections when i tried it

[reef basin]

well at least biomass is in that selection

[normal orbit]

also you really dont need to plan out biofuel. you take three (or 4) bins, output them into each own constructor for leaves/wood/mycelia/alien bits, then those can input into another constructor making bio nuggets, those get put into a refinery with some sippy to make liquid bio fuel, thats get put into a packager with some canisters and ya got the biofuel sorted. output that into a bin with a depot ontop and you can just pull fuel

then just periodically use your grabby mittens or chainsaw to get more materials and shove em into the corresponding box

[reef basin]

or one box with smart splitter

[normal orbit]

or that

well two splitters if you use 4 constructors, but w/e

[cunning glade]

Would y'all say this game has busy work?

Cuz tbh I don't really feel like there's stuff thats pointless and just meant too keep u busy

[cold berry]

Oh man, just started refinery stuff and it's so fun. My favorite of the processor machines so far.

Liquid byproducts are so fun.

[cunning glade]

But someone was saying they put a lot of busy work in this game compared too factorio

Which I just don't think is true

[normal orbit]

kind of, but also not really. Like setting up yet another steel factory cause you realise that 30 hmf isnt enough and you need another 30 can feel a bit like busy work when 24 sloops also could get same result, but those limited so you make a tower to the steel gods anyway

[cold berry]

Factorio gets my honorable mention for life as "amazing looking factory game I can't play because my bipolar is effected heavily in mood by color and because it's not horror it puts me in the wrong mood but this is a me issue, it looks fantastic" award

It's just too depressing for me personally

I like color in my factory games. And games where I'm going to spend like hundreds of hours in general.

[cunning glade]

U need steel for thoose I made 50 with 200 steel Ingots a min

I don't think a factory is necessary for hmf for steel imo but I def see ur point

But I also haven't had too deal with that cuz I planned out how many I would need I think atleast

[cunning glade]

Factorio is anything but depressing

Like install the RGB science mod for one

[normal orbit]

well if you have 1800 coal and 2400 iron next to each other, its pretty easy to turn that into 2700 steel pipes and make like 60 motors and 30 hmf and other assorted stuff

[cunning glade]

But factorio was a game where I'd sit down

Id wanna do a dab before playing

But id just start playing and it was gg would be at least an hour before I actually smoked

I smoke before playing like anything so it's wack

[last bluff]

wait is that an allowed topic?

[cunning glade]

It's no different than alcohol

[languid vine]

Might start playing satisfactory sometime today just got home

[cunning glade]

Also I've talked about it plenty so 🤷

[last bluff]

I thought neither was allowed or did I really misunderstand Discord's phrasing on what it considers drugs?

[swift turret]

let the mods decide that

[last bluff]

oh I meant more Discord-wide

[languid vine]

No where I’ve know considers weed a drug, in my country it’s a medicine

[cunning glade]

Same I get home in roughly like 2 hours and and I get too finish my 100 computers and 20 super computers a min factory

[normal orbit]

its illegal in many countries

[swift turret]

discord doesnt carea about anything as long as its not illegal

[languid vine]

Sheesh. I’ve never started the game yet lol. Excited to tho

[cunning glade]

It's so peak

[languid vine]

Or you’re not trying to sell/distribute/buy

[last bluff]

TIL Discord now has "community guidelines"

and it's much better laid out

[languid vine]

Yeah

[cunning glade]

Discord is rolling back the face id stuff

Which is cool and fixing that it seems

[languid vine]

Didn’t even bother lmao

[cunning glade]

Still owned by the IDF tho so there is that

[languid vine]

If it forces me I’ll just draw a smiley on my thumb

[normal orbit]

they arent, they just pushing it into 2nd half of 2026

[cunning glade]

Yeah but they also talked about not doing it and only needing it if ur account is doing naughty things

[last bluff]

nvm Discord's new system is even worse to find anything in

[cunning glade]

And they're gonna try too use billing history too estimate ur age so ur even more unlikely too need too

I think it's a better change atleast

[normal orbit]

that was always the case, but their choice of verification was shady as heck, which is why they got so much shit over it, that hasnt changed and they just trying to pull wool over your eyes so you'll give away your pii for free so they can sell it

[cunning glade]

But also are gonna try too work with people on it more too get it right and they more so wanna do this cuz eu and UK laws

[languid vine]

Well then in that case I’m a kid bc I’ve never and won’t spend a dollar on social media idc

[cunning glade]

No iirc they're switching partners

[normal orbit]

from a bad one to another bad one, its stills ame

[cunning glade]

Prolly

Gaming is fucked rn

[last bluff]

I'm so glad to not have seen any form of required verification yet, though I do use Linux and that might just be automatically flagged as autistic but adult

[languid vine]

That’s why most games I don’t buy 👌🏼

[cunning glade]

Ai fucking ram prices and nivida worships Israel now😞

[languid vine]

Data centres need to start getting shut down. Can’t even build my finance a pc cus these prices.

[proven snow]

I think it's just if you want to join NSFW servers or advanced settings and such

I haven't seen any either

[reef basin]

the verification is delayed
and in 90% of cases you wouldn't need any verification anyway

[proven snow]

At least PCs last a while

But yeah building the initial one in today's market is rough

[languid vine]

For now Im just letting her use mine whenever bc it just costs too much to build one, and my entire setup is like 6k

If prebuilds weren’t absolute garbage I’d get one of those but can’t even

[cunning glade]

End of the year one ai company will have too shutdown if they don't start making money and for open AI too be profitable they need too start showing ads iirc

I'm praying amd doesn't pull an nivida and choose the suicide cable for there high end GPUs

[languid vine]

Unfortunately there’s too much AI slop and AI brainrot I don’t think it’ll happen, people post too much AI stuff bc they wanna be creators but have no real talent or skill so they rely on sum else to do it all for them. Sadly I don’t think it’ll stop for a while, realistically

[last bluff]

between when I wanted to quickly buy new parts and my paycheck the build's price rose by 500EUR and last time I checked, it's cheaper to buy a used enterprise workstation than a ~7000EUR equivalent build

[cunning glade]

Okay but here's the thing yes this is true but the companies aren't making money from this

[languid vine]

True

[cunning glade]

And not profiting that's for sure

[covert quarry]

bro ps6 got delayed till 2029 cz of this don't hope for any good soon😭

[languid vine]

I’m guessing they only profit from their own?

[cunning glade]

Oof thank god I went too PC in 2021

[languid vine]

Consoles in the great 26🥀🥀

[cunning glade]

Consoles are nice

I do like my series x still

[covert quarry]

why the hate😂

[cunning glade]

But PC do be better

[languid vine]

Meh, I see their uses but personally I play too much for a console to be useful for me

[covert quarry]

i wonder what S26 prices will be

[proven snow]

Think my PC is from 2018 or 19 and I've had no issues with it

[languid vine]

Personally I prefer pc but I won’t hate on consoles

[covert quarry]

yeah everyone's got their own preferance true

[last bluff]

I will hate on consoles 😎

[languid vine]

I got my pc in 2019 and sold both my Xbox series S and ps4 pro bc all the games I had on those, I got on pc so I didn’t need them anymore

[languid vine]

Exactly, and plus some people aren’t pc savvy so there’s that defense aswell which is perfectly valid

It’s easier for younger people to download games and play on consoles than PC

And that’s just a fact

[toxic lake]

hey Im trying to play satisfactory again and im unable to do anything after landing the drop pod whats the bugfix to this?

[last bluff]

the Steam Deck is a well known name and I'm actually wondering how much of it is because it just works OOTB well enough

[languid vine]

Personally I’ll always prefer PC over console bc more storage for games, mods and multitasking, and no paying to play with friends but that’s me and I won’t hate on anyone for thinking otherwise we’re all entitled to our own opinions and I’ll respect that👌🏼

[last bluff]

well ignoring the age group, just people in general

[proven snow]

Haven't heard that issue before, but maybe start a new save and try again?

[languid vine]

Idk too much about the steam deck to really say anything, same w the ROG ally which I also wanna get my gf so she has a handheld again bc her switch lite doesn’t work anymore so we can’t play fort or stardew together anymore rn

[surreal ingot]

@proud bough could you parachute in and grab it all before you dir and it goes back to the top?
#screenshots message

[last bluff]

oh I did mean more theoretical but yes, that'd prolly be very nice
