satisfactory

[grim carbon]

just haven't gotten to that part yet

[topaz shale]

I'm not looking forward to setting up aluminum again. At least, when it comes to the water situation... That stuff always messes with my head lol

[hybrid nymph]

What are those other machines next to the fuel gens?

[ivory zinc]

Why? Water aint that deep

[hybrid nymph]

Try in the forest at the top of the hill to the north east of the grasslands

[lucid temple]

I never really used blueprints yet but I'm working on my nuclear power plant and need to move 21k water. is there a way to build my 3x3 pipeline all at once 🤔 so being able to effectively build 9 pipes at once lol

[topaz shale]

It's making sure that the waste water never backs up. I have gotten it working before but I swear it takes some tweaking.

I won't be worrying about it now, though. I just started a new save.

[bleak valley]

How do you guys keep the motivation to make things look good I always start alright but as I get towards the end of a project I just slap it together so it’s done and get sad

[glacial drum]

Blueprints have an auto connect feature. Could use that

[ivory zinc]

With the recipes im using i create less water then i need

[hybrid nymph]

Ugh once I get out of class I need to fix coal ugh 😫

[glacial drum]

Take a break to do other builds or just step back and relax for a few minutes

[lucid temple]

gonna look into that and see what i can make work, thanks for the suggestion 😄 moving 21k water is so annoying. half tempted to package water and belt it over 🤣

[topaz shale]

I honestly just make my stuff look like a parking garage. I wish I could create some wild stuff that I've seen people make.

[hybrid nymph]

I need to upgrade from 32 to 64 coal gens

[bleak valley]

All of my factories are just open foundations lol I haven’t attempted to make any buildings

I’m still trying to avoid spaghetti belts

[glacial drum]

Could always cube em up and just.. decorate the outside

[ivory zinc]

I really need someone experienced that plays on console man

New people are fine but it gets exhausting and they spagjetti

[topaz shale]

That's still a valid way to build. I tend to build up when I make my factories. And in between each floors, I'll have a maybe 2m tall floor that is purely for logistics and belting everything between the floors. This way, the part that you actually do see looks good.

[hybrid nymph]

I am too, but sometimes it's unavoidable

[topaz shale]

The trick is to hide the spaghetti.

[glacial drum]

Yea I made my nitro rocket fuel factory expanding upwards. It doesn’t look the best.. but it works. I like the way I built it though.

[bleak valley]

I have heard about logistic floors but making mega factories like that seems overwhelming lol
I just started aluminum production after like 70 hours of playtime

[glacial drum]

Granted I haven’t gone above my old power production yet.. and I’m hours past completion..

[lucid temple]

i just belt everything on the same floor and pray it looks ok

[topaz shale]

Yeah, it can get overwhelming sometimes. I just build it one piece at a time.

[grim carbon]

how many refineries do i need to power 3 fuel-powered generators?

[bleak valley]

Quick question for aluminum will I need more casings or more sheets trying to plan out how many to make with my current setup

[topaz shale]

I did an even split, ngl. Took me to late game with a small-ish set up.

[glacial drum]

I think I prioritized casings originally. My new larger factory makes sort of equal amounts, though. I’d say look into the items you need to make and base it off that

[bleak valley]

I’m only making about 540 aluminum ingots per minute currently so I wanted to ask thanks

[hybrid nymph]

About the same, you need casings for radio control units and sheets for MK5 belts

What resolution do you play the game at? I play at 1440p what about you guys?

[bleak valley]

I’m also 1440 very beautiful game

[hybrid nymph]

Nice game is beautiful at that resolution

I stopped playing at 1080p in 2020

I started playing this game in September of 2022.

You @bleak valley?

[bleak valley]

I started about three months ago

95 hours on steam so far

[hybrid nymph]

Nice, first save?

Not too shabby

[bleak valley]

Yup just got finished with stage 3

[hybrid nymph]

So you're on tier 5 now?

[bleak valley]

Tier 7 in the hub

I always finish the hub before working on space elevator

[hybrid nymph]

Ahh nice, I'm on tier 8

Just got nuclear power

Haven't set it up yet

I'm still using coal and oil power

[bleak valley]

I setup a nice oil power plant that is keeping me way above my usage currently

[west jackal]

ive only got about 12GW of power rn, but thats all from coal. im actually using over that ammount atm, about to setup a small (only 20GW) oil plant to tide me over to rocket fuel hopefully

[hybrid nymph]

Mine was, I was only using about 8000MW, then I used the vanilla upgrades mod and increased the base clock speed to 200% and then my power consumption went up exponentially

[west jackal]

gonna put everything on priority switches, so that hopefully 32GW can get me to rocket

[bleak valley]

I’ve got 14GW but my max is only 8

[west jackal]

is that like a global power shard...?

[hybrid nymph]

I'm consuming 16GW with all of my overclocked slooped manufacturers

[west jackal]

the sloops is what does the "exponential" part

power from overclocking is exponential afaik

[hybrid nymph]

I need more power, so my manufacturers aren't horribly slow

Which is why I installed the vanilla upgrades mod

[bleak valley]

My one oil plant is making about 5GW on its own with a max overclocked oil extractor feeding ten gens

[west jackal]

ewwwww

[bleak valley]

Then i have two coal plants doing ok but they’re still on mk1 miners since i dont need the power yet

[hybrid nymph]

Oh I see

I upgraded my miner mk2s so they are now mining 780 fully overclocked on a pure node

To take full advantage of the MK5 belts

[bleak valley]

Plus a few geysers and the power augmenter for some extra juice

I would expand the coal but liquid still gives me a headache

[hybrid nymph]

I will be generating about 22GW after I upgrade my coal and oil 🛢️🪔

[west jackal]

780?

[hybrid nymph]

Yeah vanilla upgrades mod, increases the base clock speed of machines

[west jackal]

oh

[hybrid nymph]

780 is the max items per minute for the MK5 belts

[west jackal]

sure, 780 was just a weird number from nodes

pure nodes are 300/600/1200 for max overclock

[hybrid nymph]

I know yeah 👍

Just trying to make the most of my production with my MK5 belts

Vanilla Upgrades mod is super useful. Instead of getting Mk2 versions of machines, you can just upgrade their base clock speed

[somber yarrow]

anyone can help me with flue problem with my build

[hybrid nymph]

Sute

What's going on?

[warm finch]

#1038092680493801533 post there along with screen shots

[somber yarrow]

ok thanks

[warm finch]

What tier are you on?

[bleak valley]

Tier 7 in the hub

Working on mk5 logistics right now setting up my first aluminum production

[weak bloom]

ohhhh 600 bauxite is the magic number to make the numbers clean.....man I really need mk5 belts lmao

[hybrid nymph]

Good luck 🤞 aluminum is very annoying to setup, there are A LOT of steps

[warm finch]

Nice! Recommend unlocking blenders if you haven't yet, get the Heavy Oil Residue (HOR) alt recipe, the diluted fuel alt recipe, unlock rocket fuel, and get the nitro rocket fuel alt recipe. You'll then be able to make A LOT of power with just 1 600m3/min oil node

[west jackal]

is nitro rocket an alt??

trying to decide how much power i need to get to nitro rocket

[bleak valley]

I’m on the final step now just doing logistics for the assemblers for sheets

[bleak valley]

Interesting

[west jackal]

also, does gas have same issues as fluids with sloshing

[warm finch]

For aluminum I highly recommend getting the sloppy alumina alt recipe along with either of the alum scrap recipes (uses coal or coke, your pick), and the pure aluminum ingot recipe.

[warm finch]

Gas does not slosh, much easier to work with. Full pipes are happy pipes

[west jackal]

and how much nitrogen p/min does a vent thingy make? its been a LONG time since messing with nitric acid

[warm finch]

It is. Regular rocket fuel is unlocked via the mam. Nitro rocket fuel is an alt that uses nitrogen gas directly rather than nitric acid

[stuck flower]

Each one is different

[bleak valley]

I’m using sloppy alumnia then pure ingots to eliminate coal and silica just felt easier

[warm finch]

Depends on if you overclock and the purity of the mini nodes

[west jackal]

i need to hit t8 for that first though, i have 12GW just unlocked t7/8 but i dont think thatll be enough to get to nitro rocket

specially since im currently using 13GW

[warm finch]

If you overclock sloppy alumina by 1 and then the electrode scrap by 2 shards, you get a straight 1:1 ratio of sloppy alumina,

[hybrid nymph]

Oh really? I should try that, thanks 👍🙏💯

[warm finch]

Doable with a few oil nodes. Especially if you have HOR alt recipe. Just throw down as many fuel generators as needed to get you into nitro rocket fuel production

[west jackal]

so you think i should setup a dpf factory

32GW total production is probably enough to get there

[bleak valley]

I might have to double check what I’m using but I already had a 1:1 ratio with no overclocking

[warm finch]

Dpf?

[west jackal]

if i just do small scale aluminum stuffs

[somber yarrow]

i cant copy anything to this discousion dont know why but i need help with fule

[hybrid nymph]

I was using refined power and generating 2000 MW on just tier 4, using those wind turbines

[west jackal]

diluted packaged

[bleak valley]

Aluminum is producing yippee

[warm finch]

You could. But it's a fucking pain. Do not recommend!

[bleak valley]

270 sheets a minute and 180 casing

[west jackal]

its not that bad, you make a fake blender blueprint lol

[hybrid nymph]

I miss the modular power suits mod 😔

[warm finch]

You do not, I can guarantee that

[hybrid nymph]

Too bad 1.1 broke it

[warm finch]

My suggestion would be less casings, more sheets for now. You'll need a TON of sheets as you build/upgrade all your belts to mk5

[west jackal]

im not playing modded. but i had more than that at t4

[hybrid nymph]

Still that's 26 coal generators

[west jackal]

jokes on you im just gonna handcraft everything from ingot to RCU because i dont have the power to setup logistics/factory ;-;

[bleak valley]

Sloppy alumina into aluminum scrap is 1:1 I just went to check my factory

[west jackal]

i have 12 000 MW of coal power

[warm finch]

Which scrap recipe are you using?

[west jackal]

well actually its like 9GW of coal and 3GW RMS of geothermal

[bleak valley]

Just the default I think I have electrode unlocked but I didn’t want to have to run another line into this tbh

[west jackal]

also 26 is a weird number!

i try to stick to multiples of 8

[hybrid nymph]

I have 9600 I have 128 coal generators, 64 at each plant.

[hybrid nymph]

It is yes. I have 128 generators. Split up between 2 generators

[weak bloom]

welp this pure bauxite node is right next to a bunch of uranium, guess I'm not getting that one now 🙃

wait you need particle enrichment for nitric acid?!?

oh my god rocket fuel is FOREVER away then

[hybrid nymph]

Yeah it is 🤣

Yes you do need particle enrichment

Not even sure I will use nuclear on this save

[bleak valley]

I keep thinking I’m close to beating the game then somebody mentions something I’ve never even heard of lol

Like gasses

[hybrid nymph]

Ooh 😮

I can use the vanilla upgrades mod to upgrade the base clock speed of my coal gens to 150% which will make them generate 112.5 each instead of 75 each

[bleak valley]

I’ve unlocked the hoverpack and am not sure what to do with this power

[hybrid nymph]

What power?

How many MW excess have you got?

[bleak valley]

The power of free hovering lol

I feel like I’m in creative mode

[hybrid nymph]

It does feel like creative mode in minecraft

I like it

The jetpack is great, but the hover pack is better

Jetpack is great for exploring

[warm finch]

Yeah that's not a 1 to 1 ratio. Sloppy alumina at 150% make 360 sloppy/min. The electrode scrap (coal or coke) at 200% uses 360 sloppy alumina/min so it becomes a direct 1:1 between two refineries.

[warm finch]

Unless you get the nitro rocket fuel alt recipe. Then it just uses straight nitrogen gas

[bleak valley]

Yeah I’m not using electrode though I’m using the default which takes 240 per minute which is exactly what sloppy makes default and I’m using regular coal from nearby instead of coke since my rubber and plastic are making fuel instead

[warm finch]

My sweet summer child... The game STARTS at phase 5 lol

[cunning glade]

well atleast me making 1800 time crystals isnt overkill cuz i need 1200ish a min

[warm finch]

You can never make "too much" of something. Just sink the excess until you need more of it

[warm finch]

The default requires silica though.

[warm finch]

Wait that's for the foundry which you got rid of nm

[bleak valley]

To make ingots yes but I’m using pure ingots

[cunning glade]

okay damm superposition oscillators are aluminum
heavy

oh cuz i get a byproduct of 336 of them a min tf

[warm finch]

As are a few other things. I was making 6k alum ingots/min in my old save and needed more lol

[warm finch]

Yeah you should be set then. Sloppy alumina alt recipe is a must have along with pure ingot.

When you find yourself bottlenecked on coal, switch over to electrode scrap. You'll be surprised how much coke you can make from a little HOR.

For plastic/rubber, the recycling alts are FANTASTIC for boosting those production

[cunning glade]

where should i sloop for sam stuff

it seems the ingot the fics ones themselves seem good too cuz i need 50 of them it would cut my alu and sam down too 3k and 1.5k

https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production?share=Op6zGOQaAUXmby9dTT3D this is what im working with so far i have more sam on the map so it lets this work i will make sure im not using more thats real in the end

cuz i lowkey dislike how much alu it needs

but may work idk need too figure out some other stuff

[timber willow]

Reanimated is one I would say since you need that in a lot of end game stuff plus it's only one sloop per machine for reanimated, I mean you could do the fics ingots but think it's not as important since you can make afk ingots with enough ore

Reason I say reanimated is you need the "lunchbox" in every convert recipe and to make dark matter crystals unless your recycling dark matter residue

[timber willow]

Going massive build there dang

My question is obviously trains and maybe drones to move materials since you need a open area for all those machines?

[vague apex]

Is anyone able to help out with a hypertube cannon

it slows down after a couple loops

[dense violet]

are you using a current design?

[vague apex]

i think so its in questions and help if you wanted to look at it

[dense violet]

the video you're copying it from says 1.1?

[vague apex]

i didnt copy from a video i copied from someones save that i had downloaded and it works in that amazingly

[bleak valley]

Finished tier 7

[next ivy]

did you just try changing it slightly

[dense violet]

I'd find a current video , how idea when/how it was built

[next ivy]

like the distance between exit and entrance

[vague apex]

i havent no but i can

[cunning glade]

okay i got the build better in raw resources only issue for p5 i need trigons which means sam and i think i need too use all 13500 is that still the case with sloops?

[cunning glade]

how many ingots does a single conveter make at 300% with a sloop

[thorny berry]

anyone want to do you multiplayer game with me on ps5?

[cunning glade]

cuz ingot wise wouldnt i only need 10 machines then

if each makes what 150 fully oced and slooped

[timber willow]

fully juiced think its 75/100 per minute via aluminum recipe

[cunning glade]

sam wise it seems way more efficient if i did my math right

cuz i need 3.9k reanimated sam for just the trigons

if i sloop it i only need 3.5k total

still leaving me some for p5 parts

[timber willow]

for the ingots yes alum is the better recipe as long as you can maintain the ingot need

[cunning glade]

im making 16400 alum a min is the plan so

[timber willow]

well if your doing that much sounds like you should be fine on that front

[timber willow]

how many reactors are you going for since i saw your recipe lineup was all 3 fuel rods

[cunning glade]

idk

im just going for all of the uranium into fics fuel rods

[normal orbit]

depending which recipes you use for the plutonium refinement, the amount of trigons needed can vary by a lot

[cunning glade]

https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production?share=e6prdJeKm3QOzaFjeUHI this it rn

[normal orbit]

if you use instant cells + fuel units, you end up with 22.4 Pu fuel rods, whicih then would refine into 112 ficsonium ones. which is 4480 trigons (~6000 aluminium ingots + 3000 reanimated sam (12000 sam ore)) without slooping, with there being like 10300 sam on map (10800?). slooping one step at least is required there

if you use fertile uranium, you reduce the uranium fuel rods by a lot to make a lot more plutonium, which i think ended up in nearly 10000 aluminium ingots and 18000-ish sam ore

[cunning glade]

if i sloop the fics ingots i only need 1500ish reanimated sam for it

[normal orbit]

yes, and half the aluminium ingots

[cunning glade]

so instead of 6k reanimated sam it would be more like 3k total

[fading crow]

250k members yay

[normal orbit]

also i think my math could be a little off, but you can do this slooping both sam steps, but it uses like 95 sloops in total or something

[cunning glade]

i think thats what im gonna do it does seem possible with the resources i have left on the map tho

tho will eat into my point generated cuz i was making 60 pasta a min worth

[normal orbit]

dont use fertile uranium. a lot more work, for actually less overall power :p

[ivory zinc]

Why does this discord have no vcs again

[stuck dagger]

I will shill instant plutonium cell for being able to skip the pellet step

[normal orbit]

pellet step is nice if you just wanna use a bit more waste. get a little less plutonium and make ficsonium less resource intensive

[ivory zinc]

Only around 110 on the map

[normal orbit]

105 i think after using one for mam research

[stuck dagger]

I made my nuclear setup to burn plutonium, I probably mathed it out at the time to balance power generation, logistics-ing and aesthetics

[gloomy tusk]

fr

[normal orbit]

prob cuz moderating voice chats is a lot of work

[gloomy tusk]

un moderated voice chats with people well over 18 and people that are 13 sounds like a great idea no?

[dire trail]

transporting stuff around is so hard

do you guys just use trains? i struggle so hard with setting them up

[normal orbit]

trains yes, not too hard to setup with some blueprints

[dire trail]

Which blueprints if you dont mind me asking? i've tried to make some in the past but then i think they end up looking ugly and spaghetti

[normal orbit]

blueprints you make yourself, set up something with two parallell tracks far enough apart and just auto connect and place

theres endless ways to design them

from just two pieces of track on the edge of a foundation to something aestethically nice

[coral glacier]

100*

Yo, wsg

[cunning glade]

Doing my train input for aluminum and it's gonna take a min since I need all of the aluminum and basically same with quartz

[stable drum]

im running a fuel generator setup, with 20 refineries, and 16 overclocked generators. the resin isnt backing up, and neither is the fuel. the refineries all have oil, and have no issues producing. 10 refineries make 400 fuel /min, and the 8 overclocked generators require 50 fuel/min. i have the gens setup in rows of five, and the 10 refineries, are fueling a row of five and then a row of 3 behind those. issue im having, is that the generators on the end, in the first row, are running out of fuel and stop producing power, and i cant figure out why

[cunning glade]

Yeah but like why would it wait if it doesn't have freight cars

[next ivy]

because im telling it to

[elder skiff]

30 hours in and ive just learned about zoop

😝😝😝

[stable drum]

can anyone tell me why the generator on the right hand side is running out of fuel?

the math should line up perfectly

[cunning glade]

Sloop when u make power shards or alien DNA

[stable drum]

but it keeps running out and turning off every now and then

actually, both of the last two gens on the right are running out, i can tell because their fuel will hit zero, and then shoot up and build up, and then run out again after a while

[crystal lichen]

Turn the generators off (disconnect them from any power grid) and wait for all of them to be full

Preferably you want to wait until the whole system stops running because every output is full before switching it back on

[cunning glade]

alright 2018 quartz of the 8785 i need

[stable drum]

i am doing this

will get back to you shortly

i think you fixed it

[cunning glade]

It feels soon but I'm building big so I give or take another 50 hours before I get it

Cuz I need aluminum and then all the other p4 parts

And I'm making all of the aluminum on the map so

[coral marsh]

Pa's are tier 8

[cunning glade]

Tho comp factory is almost done

[cunning glade]

Yes but I'm making 30 slooped too 60

So that's gonna take a sec gotta gather 15k or so cooper ore

[coral marsh]

Im making 1 thousand nuclear pasta

[cunning glade]

All of the copper in the desert plus some more in the swamp and tropics

[coral marsh]

fuels the doggo with ionized fuel

[cunning glade]

Max supposedly is 134.4 a min

[coral marsh]

Oh im not making that per minute lmfao

Im working towards the 1 thousand required for the elevator

[cunning glade]

Ik but it made me curious

[coral marsh]

Fair

[cunning glade]

Will only take me 16-17 mins

[agile surge]

Is it a good idea to have one factory per major item e.g. space elevator items? I feel like thats the most efficient

[cunning glade]

And then it starts making me points

For some sweet coupons

[cunning glade]

Id say so

But only really after phase 3

Up too phase 3 I made all of it in my starter base in northern forest

[coral marsh]

I wonder how well an alt recipe for ionized nuclear pasta would go if it required ionized fuel, Copper powder and pressure conversion tubes

[cunning glade]

I just trained in plastic and comps and hmf prolly rubber too

[coral marsh]

Call it "ionized atomic pasta"

[cunning glade]

Prolly could make one I couldn't imagine making that as a mod is too hard

[coral marsh]

I would if I knew how to code

[cunning glade]

Ai can legit do it for u lol

Pretty neat in that aspect but also fair

[coral marsh]

Dont you dare speak of ai to me ever again

[cunning glade]

I mean ai is a tool

[agile surge]

this is for unlocking phase 5

[cunning glade]

And it can be useful

[coral marsh]

Im sorry but I have never cared for it

[cunning glade]

I don't really either but I just know it can be a useful tool

[fiery pewter]

Same

Waste of power, resources and space

[coral marsh]

Yup

[fiery pewter]

Remember cod7

What I hate most about AI is that some of my teachers suggest we use it

Like no, I don't want to be dumber

[leaden turret]

teachers in the 90s: respect copyright, don't plagiarise
teachers in the 2020s: disregard copyright, use tool built for plagiarism

[fiery pewter]

Exactly

I once worked with a guy who made half the project with AI

I changed it all out overnight

[sterile blade]

How useful it may be changes nothing in regards to how controversial or even hated a tool might be 🤷‍♂️

[next ivy]

they should give us less resources then

[agile surge]

man I suck at making factories efficient id assume theres some good alt recipes that would help. Also I feel like ill have to rip down a factory once I upgrade conveyors and miners just because I get more resources

I dont get how yall build huge factories

[zenith pecan]

I don't build huge factories, I do tend to build a lot of them though.

[agile surge]

Yeah I tend to try and optimise it and then when I unlock something else, its like Ive ran out of resources

[zenith pecan]

My spire project is consisting of 23 oil processing platforms & resin refinery.

As you can see here, it is not one huge factory #design-and-architecture message , it does process all the oil in the spire coast.

[fiery pewter]

What if you like, centralise all caterium, iron and copper into one spot, make one garguantuous factory making all sorts of basic parts, and then shipping all of those fabricates out to other factories making more refined products

Edit: oil and bauxite too

Lmao

What if hide in the largest cave

What you don't see doesn't have to be rendered

Smoggleboy cooking up a problem fr

Broski's been typing for ages

[harsh moat]

Tried it once, wouldnt recommend it unless you want a challenge

[fiery pewter]

Interesting

[sharp basin]

Quick question but important (and classic I know early game): I’m phase 2, building a factory producing steel beams/seem pipes/encased industrial beams/rotors/motors/stators/modular frames, but everything is at very small scale if you see what I mean (5, 10, max 20 per item, depends on the product), it’s not a big factory, it’s just so I got a stock of every item. It’s not really a scalable factory. Is it OK? I was thinking building another factory for all 3 elevator phase 2 products so I have every product stocked somewhere, am I in a good process?

[fiery pewter]

Yes

[harsh moat]

Yes its completely ok, you will be making these again and again for larger projects anyways

Being scalable involves a lot of chaos

[fiery pewter]

Low rates don't matter if you don't mind waiting or let the game idle while you do something else

[dense violet]

surprisingly, that spot where you make all the basic items becomes the easiest location to make the secondary items
funny how that works eh?

[dense violet]

sure? just keep a big storage of items

[sharp basin]

Yeah that’s what I’m thinking. Plus this factory is ALSO a coal power plant (1,200 MW so I spent a lot of time on it, I wanna move on)

[fiery pewter]

Are we talking megafactory that breaks the game here?

Also

-# now that you say that, it does sound very dumb to ship it out to a different location to then do more factory there

[sharp basin]

I got 2 industrial storage containers per product

[fiery pewter]

I have made so many 1200mw coal power plants, I just know that you're processing 240 coal/min

[sharp basin]

No dimensional depot yet

[dense violet]

it's not 'dumb', but it's a LOT more work. Double logistics and worse because a giant logistic system is more annoying

[sharp basin]

Got 2 of these

[fiery pewter]

Nice

Imma have to make like, 10 at least

[sharp basin]

Woh

[dense violet]

it could be a fun goal!

I've played the game tons and I'm kinda tempted to make a huge smeltry that smelts everything in one corner of hte map 🙂

[sharp basin]

Well I’m gonna finish that one factory first

[fiery pewter]

I already have a name for you: Pollution Central

[dense violet]

lacks a certain class 😛

[sharp basin]

Then the phase 2 elevator products factory

And then it’s complete darkness, I’ll see

[fiery pewter]

Oh no don't worry

Then you get into oil

And refineries

[sharp basin]

Mmmm sweet oil

[fiery pewter]

And byproducts

[sharp basin]

And jetpack ❤️

[fiery pewter]

And trucks

And trains

[sharp basin]

Waiting for 1.2

[fiery pewter]

Fluid truck lesgo

[sharp basin]

In case we got curved roads

[void fox]

Oil is my favorite production chain. So much flexibility and different use cases

[fiery pewter]

Fueling a fluid truck with fuel to transport fuel will be so ironic

[fiery pewter]

I like oil mainly because of all the colours you can implement

[fiery pewter]

Already got those, just take some effort to make

[sharp basin]

OK let’s go to work I got a factory to finish

Using quickwire stators for my first stators

[fiery pewter]

But you can already make them, just with rotating foundations

It'd be like applying rail logic to foundations

[dense violet]

I've seen road splines, uuuuuugly.

[sharp basin]

I know but no hurry, if we got curved roads, I can wait, so many things I can do before thinking about roads

[fiery pewter]

True

I uhh, am still in tier 2

But am planning

[cunning glade]

God gathering resources for trains takes forever

[fiery pewter]

Handcraft

[dense violet]

... automate them?

[fiery pewter]

Higher production rates?

Ha lmao

Dedicated vehicle parts factory

[dense violet]

vehicle parts are normal parts

[fiery pewter]

Wow

Totally didn't mean the parts you need to craft vehicles

I need rubber to make a truck no

Rubber is a normal part

But it can also be used to make vehicles

[dense violet]

miiiight work for tiny things? I think splin rails are probably as big as you're gonna get and have it look good

and how big are these roads going to be? 1 lane? 2 lane? more?

[gloomy tusk]

Is your name max and Is that why your called maxeek?

Damn

[gloomy tusk]

Only vehicles that are actuallly useful late game is trains and factory carts

Anyone looking forward for crimson desert?

[fiery pewter]

What

Crimson say what now

Shouldn't you be discussing that in #story-spoilers

[gloomy tusk]

No I should be discussing it in off topic

It’s a game that looks really visually appealing and quite cool

I might get it on release

[gloomy tusk]

What stage are you In to want a vehicle factory

Never heard of a vehicle factory before it seems pretty cool

Might be redundant if you already make the parts though

[next ivy]

sounds annoying

[fiery pewter]

I'm in tier 2 lmao, the idea just came to me

[next ivy]

since paths have to be redone every time

[fiery pewter]

Wdym

Paths have to be redone every time

[next ivy]

you can not reuse parts of a path

so the whole path has done be redone for every single production

[fiery pewter]

Yeah but I am talking about a factory that makes the parts you need to build vehicles

There is no vehicle assembler or something

You cannot automate the vehicle itself

[next ivy]

ah i thought you meant a factory powered by vehicles

not a factory that makes vehicles

[fiery pewter]

But you don't need to constantly implement new ones

Once it runs, it runs

It'd also be truck stop galore

[next ivy]

in comparison to trains, its just worse

[fiery pewter]

Train every 20 m

[next ivy]

trains can just reuse paths, and automatically pathfind

[gloomy tusk]

They slightly deviate so they are quite unreliable

[fiery pewter]

Trains is just: go there

[gloomy tusk]

Just use a conveyer belt for that distance what

[fiery pewter]

Yeah duh, we're being hypothetical here

[next ivy]

currently im only using train for cross biome transport

[fiery pewter]

Trains inter biome, trucks in a biome

Tractors between buildings

Factory carts in buildings

Drones around the world

[gloomy tusk]

Over 1.5km I use trains anything before that just conveyers or depending on throughout factory carts

[fiery pewter]

I once had a truck set up to just deliver me coal, worked great

Until it fell off the cliff

[gloomy tusk]

I gotta sleep

It’s like ten pm

I’m tired 😔

[fiery pewter]

I started playing right after U8

[fiery pewter]

You know that small little natural bridge over the void right between the Green fields and blue crater?

It drove over there

Idk that, but yes

It totally wasn't my driving skills during setting up the route that made it fall

[cunning glade]

i mean getting the resouce hooked up and trains hooked up too the network i got 6638 so far out of 8785 that i need

so close too being done with the quartz

the lowest amount of resources i need for this build

well ig oil but oil is way more limited so

1230 oil aint too bad

[fiery pewter]

a species that no longer exists

[fiery pewter]

Elaborate

[cunning glade]

At least bauxite isn't too bad

[fiery pewter]

Huh

[copper cargo]

hey dose anyone have a blueprint for a 5 to 5 load balancer ?? please at me if you do cheers

[fiery pewter]

A 5 to what

[cunning glade]

i assume 5-2

i assumed wrong

[fiery pewter]

5-5's aren't small

[copper cargo]

hahaha yeah sorry

thats all good

[cunning glade]

i swear i saw one on the blueprint site

[fiery pewter]

Yes

[copper cargo]

yep but i need one for a turbo fuel set up im working on

[fiery pewter]

What are those reacts 💀

[cunning glade]

Do spiders kill lizard doggos?

[fiery pewter]

No?

[cunning glade]

Hoping not

[fiery pewter]

They only kill hogs and spitters

[cunning glade]

Kinda doesn't make sense but fair

Not complaining

[copper cargo]

dose it work ? been looking for a while now

[cunning glade]

They normally work yeah

[copper cargo]

do you have a link to it

mainly needing it to slit all the water cans evenly to there packagers

im working with pretty much 5300 cans

[fiery pewter]

Split every belt in 5 using 2 splitters per belt, then direct each set of 5 different belts from the 25 total in 2 mergers on a target belt

[copper cargo]

would you have a layout pic im very new to the world of load balancing

[fiery pewter]

No I don't, sowwy

Wait, let me guess, you're doing diluted packaged fuel?

[cunning glade]

This game is so peak

[copper cargo]

all good cheers for the help aye iif you want i could drop you my world save so you can see what im working with so far

not going to lie been working on this since September last year.

[copper cargo]

yep

[cunning glade]

Tbh I hate diluted packaged fuel

Idk what I did wrong ig but my 3k a min setup hates working

Blenders so much nicer

[copper cargo]

yeah its a pain but im think im close to getting it working

[cunning glade]

Some of my storage containers will fill up well others will be completely empty

No mater how many times I got over and balance it out

[copper cargo]

its just getting the can's to balance out and be working constantly

[cunning glade]

If I could build something too do that but I don't have the space

I wanna rebuild it but at the same time so much work

[dense violet]

you probably manifolded the empty containers

[cunning glade]

I mean yes be each is its own row of 480

[reef basin]

first question would be - why do you need it?

[cunning glade]

It's like idk 10 or so rows of 8

So there's smaller manifold and I put a lot of packages in there

[dense violet]

thats why you make the refineries packagers and unpackagers in loops of 1:1:1

[cunning glade]

My game crashed im gonna kms

[copper cargo]

you could try a belt to packager system so then but it dose take up a bit of space

[cunning glade]

At least it's only 10 mins ig

[cunning glade]

It is a loop

[copper cargo]

working with a diluted turbo fuel set up with about 5300 can's

[cunning glade]

There's about 10 or 8 packages tho package water it gets turned into fuel then the empty ones get put back into a row

[dense violet]

you said it was a manifold?

[cunning glade]

Well I mean I feed them in a manifold

[dense violet]

was it 1 packager 1 refineries 1 unpackager in it's own little loop? no manifold?

[cunning glade]

But in the end it's a loop

[cunning glade]

its enough packagers too give me 600 in a pipe and then it feeds 600 worth of refs

idk i built it so long ago i can take photos if youd like cuz i do kind wanna keep it fully working

But on the brightside I got the 9k quartz a min I need hooked up too trains

[copper cargo]

yeah drop some photos or the save if you cool with it 🙂

[dense violet]

so no - it wasn't a 1:1:1

it's basically the one place you don't really want a manifold

[cunning glade]

I don't think so I'll take some photos in a sec

[reef basin]

yeah well then hook each pipe/belt to the number of machines it can feed. No need to balance

[dense violet]

you would know dw

[cunning glade]

Gotta hook up the last quartz nodes since the game crashed

[cunning glade]

There's multiple manifolds in that place so prolly not cuz idk wym I'm so tired

[copper cargo]

you talking about doing a 1 to 1 set up i don't really have the space for all that belt work but i cant lie that it has been a thought to try and use

[copper cargo]

all good mate no need to rush lol hit us up when you've got the photos of the build anytime

[reef basin]

well yeah, for the canisters you want a 1:1:1

it's actually less space needed than if you try to balance the canisters

[smoky flame]

How do yall resist with the urge to delete your factory and start anew

[cunning glade]

Like a new save?

[vapid linden]

exactly

[copper cargo]

i dont ive rebuilt this turbo feul set up 10 time now lol got to get it just right so i can then work on my 1800 min rubber set up after

[smoky flame]

Could be a new save, or delete everything in the map and start from iron ingot

[vapid linden]

i don't have lgio motivation though i ended up organising a little

[cunning glade]

One deleting stuff is so much work and 2 I haven't beat the game yet so like

I also like my current save and redoing all this would be so much work

[vapid linden]

just put everything into the toilet

not annoying at all

[cunning glade]

Did that with some power shards and ada says u can't overclock the hub and if u could that's not how u would do it

[vapid linden]

i wish you vould connect a conveyor to the toilet smh

[vapid linden]

i mean come on ada, it's the only inventory slot of the hub (no😔

[copper cargo]

have a belt from the hub toilet and it gives you bio fuel lol

[vapid linden]

lol

the pioneer: Miz ShitsALot

[copper cargo]

we be eating lots of berries

[vapid linden]

true true

and nuts

that's a lot of fibers

(and bacon shrooms)

[copper cargo]

yep and could be lots of bio fuel

[vapid linden]

amd she drinks a lot of coffee too

[copper cargo]

why use nuclear when you just have bio fuel

ficsit gave me a chainsaw to my war with nature can begin lol

[vapid linden]

biofuel is a limited resource if you think about it

well not of you keep killing

[copper cargo]

its an endless war

[vapid linden]

lol

that's what ficsit likes about us fr

[cunning glade]

#screenshots message this is my setup im assuming i dont have this

[copper cargo]

one that a friend of mine is leading i just give him the fuel to do so

[cunning glade]

cuz cool fact like all of its out of fuel now

[copper cargo]

i see

[vapid linden]

eating my oatmeal breakfast at noon

def normal satisfactory player timing

[reef basin]

easily, deleting a factory isn't progressing, build new, keep old

[copper cargo]

same kind of design as what i have but im working with about 53 water packagers to 50 refinery's for the diluted fuel.

[cunning glade]

I have 54 packagers too 54 refs for packaged fuel

[reef basin]

isn't it 1:1 tho

[vapid linden]

why progress when you can regress to progress more

[reef basin]

why regress to progress more if you can just progress more

[copper cargo]

ment to be but had to rework the numbers a few time but after this chat i might get rid of the the 3 extra packagers

[fiery pewter]

Satisfactory Classic? As in the first time it released in EA?

[river marsh]

why are my items not going inside the freight platform? ill post the screenshots in #screenshots

[reef basin]

use #1038092680493801533

[fiery pewter]

The picture tells nothing tbh

[reef basin]

is a train docked there?

[unkempt blade]

that's a good start but you can always use more packagers!

[cunning glade]

Not really don't have a use for them

Would need more oil which really isn't real

Idk might be like 300 left on the map

Could just grab the demolition nuke and nuke this factory and then do blenders

[fiery pewter]

#screenshots message kinda looks like the current blue alpha

[agile lake]

Hi guys, after i run the game for like one hour the fps drops and the game uses about 25% of both CPU and GPU. The temperatures are fine 62 CPU, 72 GPU. After i restart the game it goes back to normal but not always. Any idea?

[cunning glade]

I mean tbh 3600 plastic a min isn't that much work

But then again would still take a good 2-4 hours

[copper cargo]

what settings you running ?

[agile lake]

high-ultra

[unkempt blade]

you just need to make a BP that packages and unpackages water and put it EVERYWHERE so you have the sensation of progress without any actual progress

[cunning glade]

Idk what I'm even doing now I've patched the plastic factory for now

So it'll be out of sight out of mind

[copper cargo]

could be that your settings are to high and that why you frames are dropping take a look at your fame cap setting try putting it to 60 or the next one up from that.

[cunning glade]

I either start on the 14k limestone I need or go smoke and deadlock

Wish more things used limestone

So much yet so useless for alts

Can turn it into iron or coal which ig is cool

[agile lake]

i mean i have 120 fps, with dlss on balance

[cunning glade]

But that's assuming u have spare sam on the map

[agile lake]

ryzen 5 5600x, rtx 3060 ti, 2x16gb, drivers up to date

[cunning glade]

How big are ur builds

[copper cargo]

could try running 60 fames and high settings thats what im running and i have 32gb ram with rayzen 7 cpu and 3060 gpu

[cunning glade]

My 6450 rubber a min build gives me horrible fucking stutters

Well it's also 3k plastic

Otherwise a pretty smooth like 200fps on 4k ultra ish

[agile lake]

i am only 50h into this map, so no big production

fhd

yeah, its strange its like the game bugs on some point and locks on less resources

[cunning glade]

okay so desert isnt gonna have any copper or limestone left

[green fiber]

Sweet sweet dessert

[cunning glade]

or coal

so glad i left desert for last

so many nice resources for my train too steal

i wish i could use all of the bauxite with 780 belts

[agile lake]

nah, all good)

[ornate saffron]

You can use fsr instead of dlss. I found it looked and preformed better for my 3060 in this game

[agile lake]

idk, i don't like how fsr performs

[green fiber]

Im no longer using any upscaler or fancy anti aliasing

[agile lake]

i would buy a new pc, but with the current market i better touch some grass

[green fiber]

I accept the pixels and move on, i prefer it over the smeary or wobbly artifacts

[cunning glade]

1230 oil a min be fit into 2 train cars?

i mean technically no cuz i need a 3rd pipe for the 30 a min

[glacial drum]

Package it up and you can fit more

[cunning glade]

way too much work

[glacial drum]

I packaged my excess rocket fuel over like 30-50 hours and then set the packaged up to become ionized fuel manually whenever I need some.

[cunning glade]

Alright over too the desert valley oil too get 350 from that then I have my oil

And then we just need bauxite and limestone

Man getting all the resources has taken like 4-5 hours

[ornate saffron]

as always the choice is yours just letting you know what worked for me

[lone finch]

how do i can see my save files?

[ornate saffron]

on pc they are in the user documents. I suggest file explorer looking for "FActory game" or #faq

[dense violet]

#faq

shows folder locations

[cold berry]

For me, it's Open up windows file explorer, go to the search bar, type in %appdata%, then switch from "roaming" to local, then hit the folder that says "factory game"

Oh it's in the FAQ

Do that lol

[lone finch]

tysm

[cold berry]

I think different stores have different locations tho?

I have Steam

I'm not sure on that lol

[cunning glade]

Wym

In what way

Also what card aren't u on nivida

Taa is not hated world wide?

There's a sub reddit of people who exclusively like taa

Also with 1080p makes sense upscaling isn't as good for lower resolutions

[cosmic brook]

Does anyone have good knowledge when it comes to pipes? I cant get my fuel system to be well balanced 😭

[cunning glade]

Yeah a lot of people do post in #1038092680493801533

Take a few photos

[cosmic brook]

okay cool

[cunning glade]

I mean it could be simple

[normal orbit]

Fsr and taa looks very similar, quite bad compared to dlss. Was flipping between em when I was troubleshooting flickering issues on exp and image quality was substantially worse on native/taa and fsr

[cunning glade]

So u could ask here but idk how complex of an issue it is

[cunning glade]

Fsr3 or whatever this game has yeah

Fsr4 is on par with dlss

So I rec too use fsr4 if ur on amd

[scenic thistle]

They should add multiple hubs for multiplayer so players arent bored early game

[cunning glade]

If one person is bored then ur playing wrong

[cosmic brook]

nvm i might just be an idiot xd cant count propperly lmao

[cunning glade]

There's no need for 2 hubs

Legit at all

[scenic thistle]

Is there a downside to multiple huvs

[cunning glade]

Is there an upside?

Besides not having too go too one spot

[scenic thistle]

You're speaking like you are on the devteam bro

[cunning glade]

Too progress or whatever

[cunning glade]

I'm just curious why u think this

Cuz on my current save which is multiplayer this thought never came up

[scenic thistle]

Could add competition for factories for fun or just convinience

[cunning glade]

And especially early game

[scenic thistle]

Not everyone has the good autism when ur progging and 1 person is doinh everythjng waiting fkr the next phase its just boring

[cunning glade]

Well if 1 person is doing everything then ur playing wrong

One can explore one could do power one could help build the current build

There's the mam

[scenic thistle]

Its all already done and that task layout is power = done in 10 mins =build done in 1 hr explore = get slugs and nothing else

[unkempt blade]

you don't have to sit on your hands while you wait for stuff to happen

[cunning glade]

U always need more power so

Well some people do beat the game on like 10gw

[cosmic brook]

ngl artifacts and hard drives is also smart to pick up on the way tho

[cunning glade]

Like Early game especially well one person builds the other gets leaves there just so much too do early

[scenic mirage]

can you do the infinite height trick with pipes? like for conveyor lifts you just place a floor hole but i cant get it to work with pipes

[cunning glade]

I really don't agree but I'm gonna go smoke and deadlock

[cosmic brook]

aside from manual crafting you could always clean up or plan ur next project or build something fun

[cunning glade]

It may be only conveyor floor holes

[scenic mirage]

aw bummer

[cunning glade]

I'm unsure as I haven't tried

[unkempt blade]

Yeah there's lots of different activities to focus on. Or if everyone wants to build you're never going to waste your time making more power or concrete factories or whatever

[cunning glade]

But u can still get the same affect with the wall mounted ones just would take a little bit longer

[zenith pecan]

They conveyor lifts only go in the vertical and have their own snapping rules, pipes have more in common with belts as to how they're placed, they're bendy and not subject to the same "ooh it infinite snaps" due to differing rules.

[cunning glade]

Ugh I'm happy I'm progressing

But I'm sad as I get closer too the end of this game

We shall see if I end up replaying it which I prolly will with increased space elevator requirements and maybe even constant ones

[scenic mirage]

ya i pretty much instantly restarted after beating the game

[zenith pecan]

I'm just building to my hearts content atm.

[floral trellis]

https://discord.com/channels/370472939054956546/1478381001930707045

Oh god, my partner just read that aloud, in her usual suggestive tone 🤣

[floral trellis]

Oh God 🤣🤣🤣

[reef basin]

you can always do something, you never need to wait

[reef basin]

no need to post it here, if you post in LFG, that's enough

[exotic wolf]

Are there any "must have" alternative recepies for a turbofuel powerplant?

[green fiber]

Diluted Fuel kinda.

If not that then the HOR alt

Major boost to oil efficiency

[bold heron]

Heavy oil residue and dilute/packaged diluted fule.

[jagged nymph]

yeah diluted fuel is so good

[dense violet]

some are more general use as in they'll be useful in most situations with those resources

those recipes tend to be the early stages of processing raw resources. HOR and diluted fuel count for that really.
others are specialist , they do 1 job in a much more specific things. Those are also very useful

you're never locked out of any recipe anyway so get them all

[jagged nymph]

im looking at the nitro rocket fuel alternate, and i see no downside, only upsides. Am i missing something? is it simply better?

[bold heron]

Do u prefer the pagage fule or the blender variante ?

[exotic wolf]

Alright!

[weak bloom]

I really wish we had pipe floor holes lol

[jagged nymph]

we do...

[spare canopy]

is using an industrial storage container to balance two uneven inputs into two even outputs valid

[weak bloom]

Wait what

[jagged nymph]

yeah that exists

[bold heron]

There are pipe floor holes

[jagged nymph]

in the awesome shop

[weak bloom]

I swear I bought out the shop and didn't see them....maybe I'm blind lmao

[proven snow]

I'd say so

If you don't just want to use a merger

[bold heron]

Should be under logistics like belt floor holes once u unlocked pipes.

[spare canopy]

the issue is i can't merge them because they can't fit onto one of my belts alone, so i just need to balance my two uneven inputs into two even outputs 😭

thank you though

[proven snow]

Ah I see, yeah industrial container is a smart solution

[unkempt blade]

I don't think the outputs are guaranteed even like a splitter would be

[spare canopy]

yeah that worried me a lil

it doesn't look exactly even but i can't fit them onto one belt and then splitter them 😭

i think it's like a 480 and a 240

that then need to divide into 2x 360

and i only have 480 😔

so i just loaded them into an industrial container

[weak bloom]

Use lower throughput belts to limit output of different parts of the splitter

[spare canopy]

i wish we had conveyor valves like we did pipe valves

[weak bloom]

Split the 480 using 2 mk1 belts and a Mk4, merge the 2 mk1s and combine with the 240

[spare canopy]

see now you're smart that's your diff to me

i'm not smart so i didn't think of that

[weak bloom]

Dw I did a lot of extra splitters with higher throughput belts to divide a belt like 5 times to accomplish similar before I had that realization lol

[unkempt blade]

• split both unbalanced belts
• make 2 belts for balanced throughtput and merge one side of a splitter from each unbalanced belt

[weak bloom]

But yeah this^ is also the more general concept for a load balancer. Split every input and merge them with every output and it will just work

It can get very complicated to actually belt it up when you get to 3+ inputs and outputs though

[unkempt blade]

you can also just take your 480 belt and split it, Have one branch consume 360 (by building a certain amount of machines of overclocking to reach that number) and have the second branch merge to your 240 belt

[unkempt blade]

the good news is balancing is basically never required in this game and you can break up resources using other strategies

[weak bloom]

Yeah, clocking machines is usually better and easier than trying to merge different input rates

Just have the inputs go into different numbers of machines, etc.

So electrode aluminum scrap recipe is more efficient coal wise and produces more scrap per alumina, but at the cost of making the ratios way more annoying to deal with?

[reef basin]

more efficient than what? and which chain are we talking about?

[weak bloom]

More efficient than the regular scrap recipe.
Using sloppy alumina for the solution

[reef basin]

well it's basically a choice of which black rock you want to use

[weak bloom]

Omg I keep forgetting it's petroleum coke and not coal

Ok nvm my factory is nowhere close to oil

[dense violet]

split both belts into 2, merge once of each

[dense violet]

also, in general, the easiest way to have the right number of items on your belts are to clock and merge your machines in such a way that you get those numbers

[river marsh]

is circuit board only useful for making high speed connector? (asking to know if i should make it in surplus or nah)

[cursive prairie]

I used some powerslugs without the production amps. are the slugs limited supply?

[tall lantern]

yes*, but shards aren't
(though you can probably get 'em from doggos too)

[reef basin]

make what you need now, make stuff for future when you need it in the future

[dense violet]

!wikisearch circuit_board

[raven axle]

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

[cursive prairie]

oh I can make power shards without slugs?

[tall lantern]

later, yes

[reef basin]

or you can get them from doggos

[cursive prairie]

thanks! was a bit worried that I messed up the total amount

[tall lantern]

if you only lost a few then it's unlikely it'd be a problem anyway

what are the odds you'd use enough to exactly fit in the gap between your slightly lower max and the normal max

[zenith pecan]

🤣 so far it looks like I'm only using half my aluminium ingots, plenty left over for converters I guess.

Hmm, looks like the copper powder thing is an instantly solved issue 😁

[fickle wraith]

my radar tower is showing a weak signal on Stuff i actually need, can i somehow triangulate them with more towers?

[next ivy]

yes and no

[cunning glade]

Question if I've already built something how can I turn it into a blueprint

[next ivy]

if theres only a single thing left, you could start moving the tower in one direction until that one item disappears
at that point you will know that the item is exactly on the rim

[ivory zinc]

I need a satis dc w vc imo

[cunning glade]

Why?

[ivory zinc]

Why not

[reef basin]

because it's pain to moderate

[ivory zinc]

I didnt ask why it isnt there, i know why it isnt

[next ivy]

scim has megaprints, they might be able to be converted to normal blueprints

[reef basin]

Not really

[cunning glade]

Cuz I made a nice train station for aluminum and I wanna resuse it

I genuinely don't really understand placing megaprints where I want them

So I wouldn't mind making it that ig

[reef basin]

(Also if you're save editing a megaprint in, are you even playing the game lol)

[cunning glade]

But a lot more work

[next ivy]

who said anything about that

[cunning glade]

Ig it already eats the aluminum so I could just megaprint it all in

[cunning glade]

Well grabbing all of the aluminum takes a min I wanna sleep soon my bad

[next ivy]

there was one case where the the game let me place a blueprint planner with stuff already inside
but i dunno if that stuff also counted as blueprint contents

or if its replicable for big stuff

[cunning glade]

Yeah I'll just megaprint I think

Cuz I really liked my train station for it

[reef basin]

hence my msg 🤷

[cunning glade]

I don't feel like spending 2 or 3 hours rebuilding it

[unborn nova]

i dint think you can

oh ye

[cunning glade]

What I thought based on something I did earlier

[cunning glade]

I just want my 16400 aluminum and I still need 14k limestone

[unborn nova]

a min? whatcha making

[spare canopy]

yeahhh it was two diff sources of the same item

[cunning glade]

I wonder if for a point boost I could take the remaining limestone on the map make it wet concrete and sink it

That is a little tempting tho prolly not that worth it point wise

[unborn nova]

ye i dont think it sinks for much atall

[cunning glade]

True but I could make so much

[unborn nova]

i guess calculate how much youd be sinking then compare it to a more traditional method like the ballitsric warp drives

[spare canopy]

@dense violet i had 400 silica per minute coming from one section of my aluminum factory and 200 silica per min coming from the other bit and had to get them correctly balanced to 360 / 360 for 8 foundries making aluminum ingots, so i took the short way out and just routed them into an industrial container

(just checked the numbers so sorry for changing them 😭 )

[sinful roost]

I don't think you need a lot of aluminum honestly. I set up one factory of it when i unlocked it and never really touched it again

[cunning glade]

Yeah only 700k pints a min

[unborn nova]

ah

[cunning glade]

754920

[unborn nova]

ye that's kinda buns idk

[jagged nymph]

why do you even need so many points

[zenith pecan]

My current construction only uses 6000 aluminium ingots, out of the 12000 that I have available.

[unborn nova]

i plan on golden nut

[cunning glade]

More coupons

[jagged nymph]

oh

[unborn nova]

ye coupons

[cunning glade]

In the end all u will have is ur points a min

[unborn nova]

fax

[cunning glade]

No more goals too work towards just more points a min

[unborn nova]

lol

[cunning glade]

Well currently I need 10k for my nuclear stuff and then like 3k for my p5 parts

[unborn nova]

once i finish my ballstic warp drive thing i should be making like 67.5m/min

is that pretty decent or mid?

[simple pebble]

I got my nut with 16. You'll get yours before you even start on the warp drives lol

Oh wait million

[cunning glade]

If only p5 didn't need more Sam

[simple pebble]

That's points, not drives lol

[unborn nova]

ya im making 25drives a min

[cunning glade]

Cuz nuclear kinda uses like all of it tho I'll have some left cuz slooping

But as of RN I need like 15k sam

[sinful roost]

I made less (lol) to beat phase 5 but that was last week when I beat the game for the first time. Now I'm just adding more stuff for fun.

[simple pebble]

Honestly, getting dark matter crystals for 25/min sounds like agony

[unborn nova]

ye it is

[cunning glade]

Fair I'm still on my first like playthrough

[unborn nova]

alot of oil and diamonds

[cunning glade]

Like this is the furthest I've gotten

[cunning glade]

Me who needs like 36k I think

[unborn nova]

but honestly it hasnt been my biggest problem yet

[cunning glade]

1800 time crystals

[unborn nova]

ye ur cooked lol

[cunning glade]

I'm gonna be making 581.879 a min

Apparently

[simple pebble]

💀

[weak bloom]

O_o what the heck are you making with all that

[cunning glade]

112 ficsonium fuel rods:)

Assuming I have the resources left on the map tho I should

[sinful roost]

Oh I make 2.5 of those a min lmao

[cunning glade]

If my math maths

[sinful roost]

So if my math is right, you're making a lot

[cunning glade]

Just a few

And then about 224 singularity cells

[sinful roost]

What's that look like? It has to be a huge area

[cunning glade]

Which I watched dosh make 100 last night that's not gonna be fun

[cunning glade]

Idk that's end goal

I'm still on p4

[sinful roost]

Oh

[cunning glade]

Yeah working towards that

[cunning glade]

https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production?share=sH3NuqxYx5MMt1X7L2mb this is my current project im working on its a bit big

[untold zealot]

So before I sit down and reinvent the wheel, are there any particular things I should make a blueprint for? Just unlocked the feature and scratching my head a bit

[jagged nymph]

the main things i would make is the basic machines with manifolded input/output

[frosty sedge]

I'm in a coal deficit and don't know how to help it the coal gen makes surplus but I can't get it out of the miner I only have lvl 3 belts any ideas to speed it up

[jagged nymph]

?

[real shale]

What if

[ivory zinc]

Anyway, started my no mam run now

[weak bloom]

Godspeed, that sounds miserable lol

[ivory zinc]

My inventory so smol

[jagged nymph]

its not terrible

[weak bloom]

No clocking, no dimensional depot

[jagged nymph]

oh wiat no clocking

[ivory zinc]

Are you delusional

[jagged nymph]

i forgot thats in the mam

[ivory zinc]

No clocking no smart splitter no depot no alt recipes

No nobelisk, no gas mask

[weak bloom]

You're the one doing the run, et tu xD

[weary vapor]

hey, i joined this server to understand my boyfriend when he talks about this but i dont know anything about Satisfactory, can someone teach me the basics?

[jagged nymph]

you can live without smart splitter, its not too important. We didnt used to have depot in pre 1.0 anyway. Alt recipes are nice, but certainly not required

no clocking is pretty bad, and no turbo, rocket, ionized fuel isnt great either

[ivory zinc]

First of all your bf is property of ficsit. Second of all. Its an automation game. Its all math really, you take a certain amount of items per minute and make a different item at a certain per minute rate

It gets more complex overtime

[weary vapor]

okay! thank you

[ivory zinc]

Have you ever not used alt recipes

[ornate saffron]

Its mostly using math and ratios to automate craft and and design factories. Adding decoration like you would in Minecraft.

[ivory zinc]

Do you realise how much more annoying oil, fuel, heavy modular frames and allat gets

Aluminium especially

[jagged nymph]

yeah im not saying its not bad

its just not terrible

[weak bloom]

Omg I was panicking at the prospect of fused modular frame then I looked at the recipe
.....that's not bad at all

[jagged nymph]

WAIT NO mk2/3 POWER POLE

[jagged nymph]

nevermind its hell

[ivory zinc]

Aswell yea

[weak bloom]

guess HMF is the real pain point of the frame chain

[wary sonnet]

Ehhhh with the right alternate recipies it's fine

[ivory zinc]

10 per minute are 2.4k iron without alts

[jagged nymph]

pretty much yeah

[jagged nymph]

did you read the rest of the chain? 😭

[ivory zinc]

You didnt read

[wary sonnet]

nope

[tranquil saffron]

now i see why most of you play this game ... pain

[bleak valley]

I’m scared for when I have to start making the phase 4 space elevator parts

I might need a bigger factory so it doesn’t take a week

[jagged nymph]

they arent that bad if you have the right infrastructure setup

[weak bloom]

I have 11.25/min HMF set up right now using the encased frame recipe. But it's in a location that's not next to anything else. I'll probably unlock drones and then ship it over to a location near aluminum and nitrogen gas to make the fused frames

[bleak valley]

I most likely do not lmao

[ivory zinc]

Yea w the alt its fine. But wout?

[weak bloom]

Yeah you're cooked lmao have fun
